Pokemon: Shadows of Things Past

Leaf nodded, seeing Ribert's goal immediately. "You heard him Vulpix! Use Emder behind Pikachu as he runs by!" She called to her Pokemon.

Vulpix gave a cry of acknowledgement, before blasting the dirt with her ember attack. Primeape merely roared in anger, charging right towards the duo, not caring about the smokescreen. "Now use Sand Attack! Blast all that dirt right into Primeape's eyes!" Vulpix turned away from Primeape and used her hind legs to kick all the dirt and dust right into Primeapes face, causing the enraged Pokemon to cover it's face with one hand and blindly flail around with the other. A stray swing caught Pikachu, knocking the mouse away, but not taking Primeape off it's course towards Vulpix.

Primeape brought it's left arm up to protect itself, wincing slightly as the electric attack hit. The attack did little actual damage, but did nothing to deter the Primeape's mood. With another cry it charged at Pikachu, aiming to grab the little mouse in it's hands.

At the aame time, Leaf realized what she was doing and let go of Robert, blushing. "Right, sorry." She muttered, grabbing her pokeball and sending out her own Pokemon.

"Vulpix! Use ember!"

Out of her pokeball came a small golden fox, a Vulpix. The gold fox immediately spat out a burst of fiery embers from her mouth, nailing Primeape right in the face. Crying out in pain, the Primeape stumbled back, holding it's hands to it's face. It brushed away the embers, before turning it's glare at Vulpix.

Leaclf looked at the Pikachu Robert sent out, then turned to Robert himself. Finally realizing who he was, her heart skipped a beat. "Robert!" She said excitedly, completely forgetting about Primeape for a second. She jumped on him and hugged him tight. "Finally! I haven't seen you in years! Where were you? Why didn't you visit?"

"P-Pri?" The Primeape said, slightly confused by Leaf's sign of affection. It quickly replaced confusion with rage however, and it lunged at Pikachu, preparing a Karate Chop.

Leaf ran towards Route 22, grabbing a pokeball from her hip. She was ready in case anyone was hurt. Without even reaizing it, she ran past Robert, too focused on her goal to notice who he was once again.

The duo's run was cut short however, with a loud screech.

"PRIMEAPE!" A Primeape came running towards them, a crazed look in it's eye. The Primeape, well known for their hostility and temper, slammed it's fists into the ground, giving a clear sign of warning. Leaf skidded to a halt, waiting to see if the Primeape would attack, or if it was just scares.

Leaf...

Leaf fell to the ground as the explosion shook the earth. She screamed in fear, covering her head with her arms. What the heck just happened?! An explosion? That was way bigger than any normal explosion from a Pokemon. She raised her head after a second and looked in the direction of the explosion, seeing smoke rising into the air. The first thought that came to her head was about the people and Pokemon that must be there. With a slight grunt of pain, she pushed herself up off the ground and ran towards the source, brushing dirt off her clothes. It looked like it came from Route 22...

Chad...

Chad stumbled from the explosion, barely managing to keep his footing. Was that...an explosion? Was there a Pokemon battle going on? He saw the smoke off in the distance amd immediately knew that was wrong. He took off towards Route 22, but he was by far the farthest away of the three trainers.

As Robert ran, the figure turned in the opposite direction, mentally counting down. Shouldn't be long now...

With Leaf...

As Leaf ran out of Pallet Town, she caught sight of Robert running back towards her. He remebered her! With a grin, she waved at him, though she was confused when he ducked behind a tree. Her smile faltered when she suddenly had a bad feelung in her gut, like something was bad waa about to happen...

With Chad and Oak...

Chad nodded at Oak, conceding the point. In a world where plants were alive, and fossils could be revived from the dead, anything was possible! "I'm off then Professor,bthanks again." He said as he turned to leave, excited to start his journey. It was time.

As the young trainers each went their way, something happened. There was a flash of light in the distance, followed by a massively loud explosion.

Pokemon: Shadows of Things Past

The figure continued to stare at Robert for a minute, not moving an inch. As Robert and Petilil stared at the figure, the hill they were on seemed to disappear, and the figure seemed to get closer and closer... A deep voice echoed in the duo's mind, "Run."

Professor Oak's lab...

Leaf stared at Professor Oak blankly for a second, the name running through her mind. "Uh, is she okay Professor?" Chad asked as he watched her.

Suddenly, her eyes opened wide, and she shouted, "What?! That was Robert?!" She turned and ran back towards the door, saying, "Sorry Professor, but I gotta go! Thanks for everything!"

SLAM!!!

Chad stared at the door for a second longer before sighing. "This isn't gonna be normal in any way, is it?"

Pokemon: Shadows of Things Past

Leaf shook her head, bringing her arm up to make a muscle. "Nope! I'm stronger than I look!" She said with a giggle. "Oh, by the way, who was that boy that ran out? He seemed awfully excited..."

Outside...

As Robert and Petilil looked out over the small hill, they would catch sight of an extremely tall figure. The man was wearing an unusually large black trenchcoat, obscuring his body. The figure had a hat on its head as well, also unusually large, covering the figure's head. The figure was walking down the path, but suddenly stopped and looked at Robert, a pair of eye's visible beneath the hat. The figure looked up at Robert, staring intensely at the young trainer and his Pokemon.

Pokemon: Shadows of Things Past

Leaf watched the boy run off, tilting her head. Robert? The name sounded faniliar, but she couldn't quite place it. "Oh well." She said with a shrug. She turned back towards the lab, the papers firmly in her hands. She had to give Professor Oak his parcel! Or at least, the papers he needed to sign before he coud get hjs parcel. She entered the lab, drawing the attention of Chad and the other scientists.

Leaf wore a red mini skirt, attached to a sleeveless light blue shirt. She had a yelliw duffel bag slung over her shoulder, with some kind of device on the strap. She had long brown hair, reaching down her back, and a white hat with half a pokeball symbol on it. Last of all, she had brown eye's, though they were a light shade.

"Professor Ooooak! I have your paaarcel!" She called out, holding the stack of papers in the air. "Well, sorta."

Pokemon: Shadows of Things Past

The girl sighed in relief, taking the papers from Robert. "Thanks a lot, I appreciate the help." She said, giving Robert a big smile. "Though you should be more careful about watching where your going. Then again, who am I to talk? I do the same thing all the time! Like the other day when I was helping my-mm!" She slapped a hand over her mouth and blushed. She was always doing that, going on and on when she got excited. She had a habit of starting to talk and not being able to stop. "Sorry, gotta go!" She said from behind her hand. "Gotta get this stuff to the Professor!" She added with a giggle, finally taking her hand from her mouth. She turned to go towards the lab before stopping and taking a glance back at Robert. He looked kinda familiar... "Oh yeah, my name's Leaf, how about you?"
