Thump...

Kyboosh trampled through the forest, with all senses on alert. Earlier in the week, he heard roaring of some kind that he was not familiar with. Now, Kyboosh was an old tree, even by ghost type standards. But what he heard was not a pokemon he knew, and he knew all within fifty miles of his glade. He felt the need to get it away, or the whole forest would die. Minutes later, a chikorita ran towards him. "Kyboosh! Monster! BIG Monster!" and it climbed up him and hid in his branches. He sighed "Now Luthi, what on Arceus's backside are you babbling about? I'm the closest thing to a monster in these woods." Luthi stuck her head out. "A gigantic green and black dragon destroyed a human town and then the Fallgarrow burrows!" Kyboosh froze. Were the legends true? He looked at luthi "Show me." and she ran west, Kyboosh following.

"By Arceus..." Kyboosh walked into the decaying and burned section of forest. The place was litterted with fungus, acid, broken black trees, and the smell of death. He looked through the area and saw the burrows. Inside, he saw corpses of pokemon he knew, all young and friendly. His mind went into overdrive. Luthi stepped up to him. "How could anything do this?" Kyboosh twisted around. "If it were the Decroidas, they damned well could." he lowered himself to were Luthi would hear what he said with out error. "Now, my young friend, go to the caves and let Helixou know that I will be away from the forest. He'll know what to do. Then gather up some of your friends and send them to the other burrows and elders with this message: The Plague Dragons have returned." And he turned to leave. Luthi stopped him. "And where are you going?" He looked at her. "To warn the humans."

Emir

"Wake up sweetie, you're having a bad dream"

"Huh? whh..."

"You were shivering and howling like a wolf.."

"Am I? I was dreaming... I was running really fast on all fours and was able to walk on the vast sea.. it was amazing" Emir rubs his crusty eyes and said with his morning voice.

"silly kid, you and your imagination, anyways breakfast is ready, I cooked you your favorite stew," Emir's mother said with a warm smile, rubbing his messy blonde hair.

"Ok"

As soon as Emir and his mother go out of their cabin, A frightening news falls upon the town. One of the locals ran and warned them of the impending danger somewhere in the forest.

"Ya won't believe what I just heard, some of my lumberjacks returned with a terrible news that half of the forest was decimated and was burn down just this morning.. My men were scared shitless to go check the situation out and to be honest, I wouldn't go to that place either, I tell you, stuff like this doesn't even happen overnight.. gives me the willies" The local said, taking a deep sigh about the concerning news.

Despite being in the earshot of the ominous rumor, Emir continues to play with his Totodile at that time and didn't really worry about the threat, he appears to be absent-minded at that time and didn't fret about the situation like most adults would, the blissful ignorance of a child is truly amazing.

the child just tilts his head and resumes to play with his Pokemon.

Beneath the calm morning sun, Daisy Riddle stood atop a grassy slope and stared in abject horror.

She wasn't supposed to have ended up here. She wasn't even supposed to be near anywhere like here. It was her surefire way of avoiding trouble: always follow the maps, and the maps clearly said that this was supposed to be a quiet forest route through a small town with some nice views and a friendly populace.

Instead, she'd found ruin.

A swath had been cut out of the landscape, as if some vast hand had reached down from the sky and dragged one finger across the earth. Flattened, broken, blackened trees, seething pools of caustic rot, the jutting foundations of buildings that had been pulverized out of existence. Daisy blinked, and squinted, and rubbed her eyes, but the vision did not disappear.

Even with the harsh truth stretched out before her, a part of the young girl refused to accept it. Surely nothing of this scale could just happen- especially not around her. It was a trick of the light, or a forest fire; the town on the maps would be just around the corner from here. She breathed in, steadying herself. That had to be it. She just had to follow the maps, and everything would be okay again. "Follow the maps..."

And so Daisy stumbled onward, a bright and frail figure wading helplessly through a trail of death.

"As of right now, it's unknown where the smoke came from or what cause it. But one thing for sure, it best to stay away from burned areas and let's police officers investigate the scene where the smoke is coming, Is it bondfire gone wild, a harmless firework trick gone backfire or wild fire-type pokémon being little hot-headed? We'll update investigation until further notice, this is Kinsey Valerie, signing off." So with that, the news reporter cut to news anchor.

I was in kitchen, watching the news while I was packing my homework and my lunch into my backpack for school, Braixen was waiting patiently for me, leading against the wall right next to the kitchen door. "You know, you don't have to come with me to school. you can just stay home." I say to her, though, it always nice for her being at my side after all these years but I wonder if she gets tired of me, walking around with me wherever I go but I don't think that too much. Braixen shake her head, well I guess there is no arguing with her then, I sign "All right then, let's go. Don't want leave the school hanging." I tell her, Braixen responds with smile and a friendly nod, we headed out of the kitchen door.

As me and Braixen walk toward the front door, my hand to opening the door, I was stop when I hear a cold but yet, familiar voice behind me. "Where are you going?" It was my mother. "i'm going to school" I said to her without turning to see her. why do you ask that dumb question? I have my uniform and backpack on. I thought, "Oh, I see. Did you pack your homework?" "Yes, mother" "Did you study?" "Yes" "Did you put your all pokemon in their pokeballs? Are they also in your backpack?" "......Yes" I hate answering that question, she treat my pokémon like slaves or something. She suspect me to fight some pokemon trainers at my school but I Ignore the students "Well not all of them, you do have that thing out?" I cringe when my mother call Braixen a thing, I turn to look at Braixen face, her eyes anger at my mother. "Yes, I want Braixen to walk with me to school. Beside she love being by my side" I told my mother, I clench on to my backpack straps and shut my eyes tight as I prepared for her to call me names, yell at me or worse. ".....Fine. She walk with you but next time, keep her in her pokeball, got it?" I nod and I headed out of the door with Braixen beside me.

While me and Braixen walk to school, I look at Braixen with her face still full with anger while looking at the ground. She never like my mother, she despise her, she hated how my mother treat me, her and my pokemon with no love or care. I put my hand on her shoulder. "It's going be ok Braixen. when the times comes, you, me, and the other pokemon will run away from home and live somewhere nice. Like where my dad live, maybe he will let's us live there, with grandma too." I tell Braixen with confidence, which make Braixen smile a little bit.

"Well that's certainly something you don't see everyday" A young man said to himself as he inpected the destroyed town he had only visited yesterday. His Lucario Ryu looked at him and then back the destruction as the young man then sent our the rest of his team who all began to search for survivors.

Gwen would use her powerful psychic abilities to move rubble and quench fires, while Zetta was quickly checking all the areas that the other two could not get into, while Ryu and Mike were trying to track down survivors using Aura.

Eventally they rescued a few people from the destruction as Mike team would help the survivors while Mike tried to get information on what caused the destruction Eventally finding an old man who told him it was a black and green Dragon that did it which made Mike look though his pokedex to find Zygrade entry. "You mean it was the Pokemon of order that destroy this town and the barrow" Mike asked him confused as to why Zygarde would do such a thing.

@Mike the Bloodwolf

The old man.

"This was no zygarde, if that's what you think. It was 30 times larger and had the breath of pure death. It's wings stretched larger than anything I've ever seen. It is death, and we are in the end of days."

---

Kyboosh.

Kyboosh came upon the destroyed human town, but it was recovering. Although most was destroyed, some survivors were visible. He saw some pokemon helping. He saw the gardevoir by herself so he approached her. He dwarfed her, making it easy to get her attention with his shadow. "Where is your master, Chained one?"

In the end, it was only a matter of time before reality began to sink in.

Seeing death, a faraway view of abstract calamity- well, that was one thing. Walking through it, though, hearing the faint screams of the wounded and dying, the smell of sharp ashes on the wind and crumbled homes breaking underfoot... even the most innocent of minds could only deny so much. As she roved deeper into the newly birthed wasteland Daisy found herself trembling, small hands clutching one another as tears welled up in her eyes.

Mere hours before, she'd thought herself quite a grown-up young woman. After all, she could travel by herself and had her very own team of Pokemon, each one raised and trained with care and dedication. Whatever the world threw at her, she could take it, right? Only not this. She hadn't been ready for this.

Hearing movement up ahead, she jumped back in fright, her imagination instantly conjuring up a variety of horrifying sights that slowly stalked towards her. What emerged, however, was altogether more familiar and a great deal less frightening. "A... a Lucario..." she stuttered, surprised to see something looking quite alive and well in a place so utterly devastated.

The Pokemon wasn't alone, either. As Daisy slowly and timidly made her approach, she found a small crowd of people, beaten and battered but alive. Not far off was a young Trainer, apparently the owner of that Lucario, in conversation with an older man. Daisy could barely make out what they were talking about, and it didn't sound good.

"The end of days?" It was rude to interrupt, she knew, but shock had done away with most of her manners. "You mean... what happened here might happen to other towns as well?" Small, frightened tears were running down her cheeks now, but her hands were clenched into fists. Deep down, she already knew what the answer would be.

@Mike the Bloodwolf@Dealdric

Gwen looked up at Kyboosh as he spoke to her and said "I'm not a chained one my dear guardian, I am simply someone who had the help from a trainer to reach my full potential" she brushed her hair aside to revile the Gardiviornite in a hair pin in her hair. "But to answer your question, my trainer Mike is by the church. It's one of the only places that seemed to have withstood the attack though Ryu and Zetta are reinforcing it as we speak"

Mike looked over at Daisy as she interrupted his though a and the old man expernation. When he saw all the tears in her eyes, he quickly moved over to her as he said "shh, I know stuff looks bad right now but as Pokemon trainer, we can't get involved with this. Whatever this Dragon is, seems to be a thing of nature and the Pokemon Rangers will easily be able to stop it"

@Mike the Bloodwolf

Kyboosh walked over to Mike and tapped him on the shoulder. "Trevenant." and he wrote on his bark. Are you Mike?

The older boy's words seemed to reassure Daisy, who sniffed, swallowed, and then nodded her head. "You're right. Rangers are strong- they'll take care of things, won't they? And then everything will go back to normal." The quiet panic that had clouded her eyes was receding, and in its place appeared a surprisingly businesslike look. With some idea of where she was, now, Daisy had an inkling of what needed to be done. "I should help out with the survivors, then. My Pokemon can search- aaaaaaah!"

Squealing in fright at the Trevenant's sudden arrival, she quickly ducked behind Mike and peeked at the looming Pokemon over his shoulder. "W-w-w-what's that?!" She'd never seen that species before. Thick, darkened bark, spidery wooden legs, and a single glowing eye- whatever it was, it looked plenty intimidating!

@Anza

"Trevenant" Kyboosh wrote on his bark. What do you think I am, girl? An evergreen? Kyboosh put himself in a sassy stance. He poked her shoulder with one of his legs. "My name is Kyboosh. And yours?

Emir

All of a sudden, with a single touch of the sleepy psychic pokemon, Emir and his Totodile was teleported out of the town and into a random area. A place where a cursed tree, a pokemon ranger and a girl was talking to each other.

Just like that, Emir appears out of thin air like magic...

"AAAAAbra.."

"Abra, what did you do!?" the clueless child clutches his head, clearly distress about the sudden change of the scenery, separated from his hometown and his parents.

"Oh hello everyone.." Emir said the moment he notices there are people in here and awkwardly waves at them.

"Oooh, a Trevenant.. hello Mr. tree" he smiled.

@Dealdric@Anza@Mike the Bloodwolf

The Trevenant didn't seem to be attacking, and as Daisy watched it began to scratch out words on its own body, attempting to communicate. "What... do... you... think... I... am?" She read out the words as the Pokemon wrote them, realizing it was talking to her. "I don't know. A Pokemon, I guess? I just wasn't sure if you were dangerous or not." Meekly, she stepped out from behind the older trainer, giving the walking tree a little wave. "Hi, Kyboosh! I'm Daisy."

The strangeness didn't end there, however. A moment later a strange, pale boy popped out of nowhere with an Abra and happily greeted everyone present. Daisy waved back at him with a frown. "Okay, now I'm even more confused."

@Argonaut@Anza

Kyboosh looked at the boy with severe confusion. Then he wrote Where the hell did you come from?!

Emir

"Where I came from?.. uhhh.." Emir pondered about disclosing his hometown, his mother always did warn him about talking with strangers. Can't say the same with a pokemon that knows how to write.The child looks around and familiarizes himself with the forest, guessing that this is near the strange occurrence happened the town villagers warned them about early this morning.

"I came from a village just pass through this thick forest" He timidly said. "Although I'm not supposed to be here as you can see, Abra likes to do that from time to time" he sighed and rubs Abra's head.

"Anyways i should be going now..i heard there are bad things happening not far from here" Emir quivers."My name is Emir by the way, my mom is gonna kill me if she finds out i been wandering off around these parts" The boy was so confused as well. He was clearly lost too.

@Dealdric@Anza

Though it was only a coincidence, it occurred to Daisy that this boy's arrival might be just what they needed. "You know a village near here?" She walked up to him, looking hopeful. "Something... something bad happened to this place, but there are survivors. If you can show us the way to a town where it's safe, we could evacuate to there!" Eager to help, she started fishing around in her bag. "I have maps, too. It'd just be a matter of making it through the forest..." She turned to look at the tree Pokemon. "Kyboosh, could you come with us? If we travel on our own we might get attacked by wild Pokemon, but with you around I'm sure we'd be all right."

It had been a stressful revelation, but now everything seemed to be falling back into order for her. They could get somewhere out of the way of danger, lie low until the Pokemon Rangers dealt with the problem, and then everything would be back to normal. What could go wrong?
