> Pokémon Shimmer > by Dalek-Galvo > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Pokémon Shimmer: Prologue: The Adventure Begins Part 1 of 3: Enter Sunset Shimmer, Future Pokémon Master > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well hello there, future Pokemon Masters. I see that you are all pumped up for the exciting journey that will be in store for you. My Name is Celestia, but most people around the Canterlu Region know me as the Pokémon Professor. As you already know, all of humanity are living in complete harmony with creatures that the people of today call Pokémon. The bond between people and Pokémon grows stronger each and every day. (Celestia then throws the pokéball that she had in her hand, and when it opened, a Solrock appeared). As you see right now, there are hundreds upon thousands of undiscovered Pokémon that we scientists find each and every day. There are Pokémon on land, sea, sky, the very edge of our known Galaxy, even in the very boundary between time and space itself. We never know what kind of Pokémon we'll encounter next, but it doesn't matter how many we catch or how many victories we gain, as long as the bond between Pokémon and their partners remain strong, you will always prevail. Now, I bet you are all wondering who the main characters of this little adventure are, well, I'll tell you. The Main Protagonist of our story is a Beginner Pokémon Trainer, named Sunset Shimmer, even though she can have a temper almost as bad as an enraged Primeape, she has a heart of Gold, and will sacrifice her life to save those she cares about. Sunset prefers to have Fire, Normal, or Dragon Type Pokemon. Our second Main Protagonist will be her future best friend, Twilight Sparkle, although most of her friends nicknamed her Sci-Twi, due to her love of Science. Twilight is a trainer that prefers to have Ghost-Type Pokémon, Twilight is actually one of the regions Gym-Leaders and her Gym is at the Canterlu haunted house where she works as the attractions owner. You'll find out that place is crawling with Gastly, Banette, and Duskull, just waiting to pop up and scare you. One of her Duskull did that to me once. Well my friends a new journey is awaiting us all. Let's see what hardships they face and see how they can overcome them with the friendship they have with their Pokémon. So let's take our seats as their adventure begins now. Meanwhile, in the quiet and peaceful Everfree Town, A Moving Truck appeared in front of one of the vacant houses. "Ah good, we're finally here," Sunrise Shimmer said as he parked the truck on the parking lot outside. "Hey Sunset, we're here." There was no response, so when he and his Partner Pokemon Teddiursa checked inside the moving truck, he saw that Sunset was fast asleep in the truck with her pet Pokemon Vulpix. "Ha, that long roadtrip must have burned you out," Sun-Rise said. "She's out like a candle. Well, I'm sure she'll be ready for tomorrow, since her 10th birthday is tomorrow." Sunset's 10th birthday is a very special day because when any child turns to the age of 10, they'll receive their first ever Pokemon Partners. "Soon, you're going to be as good of a Pokemon trainer as your mother was," Sun-rise said. "Oh honey, if you could see how far our little girl has soared to get this far." Just as that was happening, two tired pokemon trainers were heading back for the night after a long day of training their pokemon. These trainers were Rainbow-Dash and her partner Pokemon Elekid, and Fluttershy and her Partner Pokemon Weedle. "Yawn, well Flutter's I think I'm going to crash tonight, me and Elekid need to get some shut-eye so that we can have enough energy to train again," Rainbow said as she and her Elekid went inside their house. "Alright then see you tomorrow," Fluttershy said as she and her Weedle went into there own home as well. Meanwhile, in a far away island stood the headquarters of the remnants of Team Galactic, Team Nova Galactic. And in the shadows, Team Nova Galactic's Ring-Leader was watching "Pluto, is everything going underway," Venus instructed. "Yes Venus, everything is going according to your grand design," Pluto confirmed. "But everything has been getting complicated ever since Cyrus disappeared." "Hmph, no matter," Venus said with a devilish grin. "Cyrus was a mad old fool who could never understand my work. But as he wanted to reshape reality in his image, we, the remnants of his fallen empire have discovered a new power, the power of Ultra Beasts. With such power, I will succeed where Cyrus failed, and I will accomplish my dreams and Team Galactic will rise anew. Meanwhile, The next morning in Everton City, Twilight Sparkle, The cities Gym Leader, had fallen asleep on her work-desk due to staying up late at night looking for a new spooky costume to wear for the halloween attraction she was the owner of. Suddenly, her Gastly, Haunter and Gengar flew into her room, sent by Twilight's mother in order to try and wake her up. They tried to tap her shoulder, but to no avail, it didn't wake her up. Then, Gengar started to grow a devilish grin, as it knew that the only way that they were going to wake Twilight up was to scare her awake. First, Haunter used Icy wind, then as Twilight's shivering caused her to open her eyes up a little, Gengar used Scary Face which gave Twilight the fright of her life. Twilight Velvet could hear her daughter screaming as she then giggled to herself. "GENGAR!" Twilight roared as she chased Gengar down the stairs. However, Gengar went through a wall which made Twilight slam right into the wall. "Oww," Twilight said as she was rubbing her head. "Oh I wish I could trade that Gengar for a Drifloon," Twilight said in irritation. "Good morning to you too, Twilight," Velvet said. "Whatever," Twilight grumbled. "Mom, next time, wake me up normally." "I TRIED WAKING YOU UP NORMALLY, BUT IT DIDN'T WORK," Velvet roared angrily, making Twilight flinch. "IT'S NOT MY FAULT THAT YOU CAN'T SLEEP AT RESONABLE HOURS!" "You know that Gastly's Haunter's and Gengar's love to scare and prank people, And besides, if you traded Gengar, you would leave Gastly and Haunter without their friend," Velvet said. "Ok, I'm sorry, Mom," Twilight said with a look of defeat on her face. "I'm glad that you are up because today is a very special day," Velvet said. "Special...How," Twilight asked. "Well, do you remember Sunset Shimmer, the girl who you used to hang out with at the Jouto Region," Velvet said. "Today's her 10th Birthday." Twilight's eyes shot up. "She's 10 already," Twilight said. "Yep, and she just moved into Everfree Town, which is 5 blocks from Everton City," Velvet said. "SHE'S HERE TODAY!" Twilight said with a worried expression. "Oh, I got to get ready," Twilight said as she put her costume on. "Is she going to be heading towards the Everton City Gym once she gets her starter Pokemon." "Yes," Velvet said. "However, They'll be one problem..."Sunset has a Phobia of Ghost-Type Pokemon, due to an incident involving the abandoned Canterlu Mansion." "Oh no, she went in there," Twilight said. "That place is crawling with Banette. "Yes, well you better head on over to the Everton City Gym," Velvet said. "Oh and tell Professor Celestia I said Hello." "Got it Momma," Twilight said as she got her bag full of Specter Badges and said goodbye to Spike, her pet Houndour heading to her Gym as the Everton City Ghost-Type Gym Leader. (Will continue in Pokemon Shimmer: Prologue: The Adventure Begins Part 2 of 3: Krabby Carnage). > Pokemon Shimmer: Prologue: The Adventure Begins Part 2 of 3: Krabby Carnage > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Sun rose above the quiet little town known as Everfree Town, and all the children went out to play as people and Pokemon were all ready to start the day. Sun-Rise Shimmer was busy eating toast and drinking his morning coffee when he saw Vulpix and Baltoy running past. "Hey, you two," Sun-Rise said. This made Vulpix and Baltoy stop in their tracks. "Can you two go up to Sunset's room and see if she's..." before Sunrise could finish, he heard a groan of frustration coming from Sunset's room. "Ok, she's awake," Sunrise said. "Well that's one mystery solved, can you two check on her, I don't want her to show up late to the Professor. Then, Vulpix and Baltoy came into her room, and saw that she was having trouble choosing which hat she wanted to wear. "Do I want the Red Hat, or the Blue Hat," Sunset said to herself. "Uggh, C'mon Sunset, Red or Blue, make up your mind." "Ba Ba Baltoy," Baltoy said as he tugged on Sunset's left sock. "Oh hey Baltoy, hey Vulpix," Sunset said as she took a red hat and put it on. "Alright, I'm all ready for today and gearing to the first day in my journey to being a Pokémon Master," Sunset said as she was walking down the stairs. "Well good Morning my little Sunshine," Sunrise said. "Oh I wanted to give you this," Sunrise said as he handed her a toy Groudon. "Happy 10th Birthday. Have you made a Birthday wish yet." "I wish...That Mom was here to see me now," Sunset said as she about to head out the door. "Oh, I wanted to tell you, Professor Celestia isn't at the town Lab, she's at the Pokémon Center near Route 301 and Everton Gate," Sunrise said. "Also make sure to put on sunscreen, were having a really bad heat-wave." "Thanks Dad," Sunset said as she raced out the door. "Sigh, kids, they grow up so fast," Sunrise said as he finished his Coffee. (Meanwhile on route 301) A girl named Trixie Lulamoon was taking her Litten to a nearby light pole where she then wrapped a rope around it which was then wrapped around Litten's neck. "Now Litten I want you to stay here and wait for me," Trixie said as she then walked off. Trixie then got out a phone and called her boyfriend, "Alright I'm coming over to your place." "Oh forget about Litten, I'm not coming back for it," Trixie said. "Because first of all, I don't like Fire-Type Pokémon, and second, I hate cats." Litten heard every-bit of this as its face saddened over the fact that its own trainer betrayed and abandoned it. Suddenly, Litten heard the sound of Scuttling feet and the snapping of claws coming towards it. Then, Litten was surrounded by a group of Krabby. Litten tried to cry out for help as the Krabby scuttled slowly towards him. Sunset along with Baltoy were heading towards the Pokémon Center when they saw the commotion. "Oh no, the Krabby are going to tear that poor Litten apart," Sunset said. "We gotta help Baltoy." Baltoy then moved towards the Krabby, which got their attention. "Baltoy use Psyshock," Sunset said as Baltoy emitted a wavey colored beam at the Krabby which disoriented them. "Alright, now use SolarBeam," Sunset said as Baltoy fired a blast of Photosynthetic energy, sending the Krabby flying. The Krabby then retreated back to the nearby river. Sunset then went towards the frightened Litten. "Shh, don't worry, the Krabby are all gone, you're safe now," Sunset said. "Don't worry, I'm not gonna hurt you." "If there's a rope around your neck, then that means someone put it on you," Sunset said. "Man, who would do such a horrible thing?" Litten was reluctant at first, but it soon submitted when Sunset freed it from it's chain. Than Sunset then thought of something, "Wait if there are a group of Krabby, shouldn't there be..." Before Sunset could finish her thought, she saw a shadow appear above her. Sunset turned around, only to see... "Ahh, A Kingler," Sunset said. The KIngler tried to use Hydro-Pump on Baltoy, but Baltoy used Protect to protect itself. Then, the Kingler turned to fire at Litten, only for Baltoy to jump in the way and due to using Harden, took little damage. Before the Kingler could fire, a yellow colored Krabby jumped up and tried to attack The Kingler, but the Kingler knocked it away with it's claw. Now The Kingler was about to finish the Krabby off using Crabhammer However as Kingler was about to attack, a voice said. "Weepingbell, use Razor Leaf," Suddenly, a volley of serrated leaves hits Kingler, doing severe damage. It was a Girl wearing a Grass-like dress, and who had Magenta hair. "Alright, Weepingbell use Vine-Whip," Gloriosa said as Weepingbell made two prickly vines that repeatedly struck at Kingler, this time, The Kingler Fainted from the Damage. "Alright good work, Weepingbell return," Gloriosa said as she returned Weepingbell to its Pokéball. "Hey, are you and Litten alright," Gloriosa said. "Yeah, just a little shaken up," Sunset said. "I'm just glad that I was here to help before you two became Krab-Chow," Gloriosa jokingly said. "Oh, my names Gloriosa Daisy, I'm the Gym Leader at Cateloopa City," Gloriosa said. "Oh, I see,Thank you so much," Sunset said. "Wait a minute, what about that poor Krabby that was attacked. Gloriosa went to examine the Krabby and saw that it had a more Bright Yellowish body than the normal Dark Red body. Gloriosa went bug-eyed, "Sunset, I think this is a Shiny Krabby, Shiny Pokémon are rare and very hard to find." "You should bring Litten Baltoy, and Krabby to the Pokemon Center immediately, anyways farewell and see you at Cateloopa city," Gloriosa said as she disappeared back into the forest. (Meanwhile, at the Pokémon Center) "Here's the potions you asked for Professor," Nurse Red-Heart said. "Thank you so much," Professor Celestia said. "PROFESSOR," Sunset said which startled Celestia. "Good heavens, Sunset, what seems to be the problem," Professor Celestia said. "My dad's Baltoy, this Litten, and this Krabby are severely hurt, is this the Pokémon Center," Sunset asked. "Yes it is, do not worry, Nurse Red-Heart will restore these Pokémon to perfect health," Celestia said as she handed them over to Nurse Red-Heart. Once all the Pokémon were healed, Sunrise picked up Baltoy and Litten and Krabby were dancing with happiness. Litten even thanked the Krabby for attempting to save him from the Kingler. After Celestia had given Sunset her own Pokédex, 5 Poke-balls, a Town Map, and an xp share, she went up to Litten and Krabby. Canterlu Region Pokédex Unit now activated, this Pokédex is now the property of beginning Pokémon trainer Sunset Shimmer, pleased to meet you Sunset and happy 10th birthday," The Pokédex said as it showed the image of a Birthday Cake and made a noise that sounded like a party horn. "Alright, let's see what I have so far,"Sunset said. "Litten, The Fire Cat Pokémon, While grooming itself, it builds up fur inside its stomach. It sets the fur alight and spews fiery attacks, which change based on how it coughs." "WeepingBell, The Flycatcher Pokémon and the evolved form of Bellsprout, Even though it is filled with acid, it does not melt because it also oozes a neutralizing fluid." "Krabby, The River Crab Pokémon, Its pincers are not only powerful weapons, they are used for balance when walking sideways." "Alright, I got everyone," Sunset said. She then turned to Krabby. "So Krabby, I guess this is where we say good-bye," Sunset said as she let the Krabby back into the wild, but the Krabby stayed put. "What do you mean you don't want to go back," Sunset asked. Krabby then did gestures with it's claws telling why. "Oh, so you don't want to go home because that Kingler and the other Krabbies were always picking on you just because you looked different from them," Sunset said, Krabby nodded its head yes. "Oh, alright, you can come along, but I still have to wait for my Partner Pokemon since Dad agreed to keep Litten as a Pet, since it reminds him of my Mother's Litten," Sunset said, petting Krabby's shell. "Besides, I think the yellow color looks pretty on you. Meanwhile, back at Team Nova Galactic Base, Venus was giving a speech to his soldiers. "We once held an entire Region in terror, now we waste away in hiding, skulking like rats on their filth," Venus said. "But the time for hiding in the shadows is over.....now my friends is the time for action. The world once feared the name "Team Galactic," and it shall do so again today. Today, lesser organizations such as Team Skull and Team Yell will be wiped off the face of the Earth, thanks to our might." "Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, please step forward," Venus said to Chrysalis, Tirek, and Cozy Glow respectively. "When I first found the three of you, you were nothing, you were weak, you were....lacking potential," Venus said. "But now that I have trained you, and molded you all in my image, you have become more than what you were once before." "We will have the power of Ultra-Space, we will have the Ultra-Beasts, and the world shall be ours once more." Venus said. "Uranus, Neptune, Pluto," Venus ordered. "Go to the Everton Tv Station and spread the word, THAT TEAM GALACTIC WILL RISE ANEW!!!!" (Will continue in Pokemon Shimmer: Prologue: The Adventure Begins Part 3 of 3: A Partner in Peril, Regiblaze to the rescue). > Pokémon Shimmer: Prologue: The Adventure Begins Part 3 of 3: Sableye in Peril, Pyrosaur to the rescue. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Meanwhile, at the Regi Temple) There have been multiple disturbances throughout the temple which have caused many bizarre occurrences to happen. And as a result, the three Central Canterlu titans, Regiblaze, Regileaf, and Regiwave had been awakened from their long slumber, due to the disappearance of Regirock, Regice, Registeel, Regileki, and Regidrago. Even the other titans, Regitox, Regiwisp, Regivoid, Regiwing, and Regisect were also awakened. "Something terrible has happened in Ultra-Space," A cloaked figure said. "The Titans are becoming restless." Just then RegiBlaze stopped, almost as if it could sense something or someone from afar. The Six dots on its head started glowing red as it then flew out of the temple and into a random direction. The Cloaked figure just looked onward, "Where is Regiblaze going?" (Meanwhile, at the Pokémon Lab at Everfree). Sunset was waiting for her chance to get her very own partner Pokémon Partner with her shiny Krabby by her side. Baltoy was back at her house, as well as Litten since her father thought Litten would be a perfect playmate for Teddiursa. Then Sunset saw Professor Celestia roll a table in the center of the room, which had three Pokémon on it. "Sorry for the wait, Sunset," Celestia said. "Here are the three Pokémon you can choose to be your Partner Pokémon. "First we have the Grass-Bug Type, Leafrantis," Celestia said as Leafrantis eyed Sunset. "Then we have the Fire-Steel Type, Pyrosaur," Celestia proclaimed as Pyrosaur gave a proud pose as a small bit of fire erupted from its nostrils. "And finally, we have the Water-Ground Type, Clawcer," Celestia said as its antennae swayed left and right. "Hmm, they all look cool," Sunset said as she gazed at the three Pokémon in front of her. Sunset then got out her Pokédex to scan them. Leafrantis, The Camouflage Pokémon, with its greenish body, Leafrantis almost looks like a leaf swaying harmlessly in the breeze until its prey gets too close, it will use its raptorial fore-limbs to snag its prey. "Pyrosaur, The Fire Fossil Pokémon, legends say that this Pokémon came from a line of prehistoric Pokémon that lived millions of years ago, although it was at first labeled as extinct, it was revived by scientists when they found their fossils. Pyrosaur's fiery jaws can melt through metal like butter, and its fiery breath can destroy anything to everything in its path. Pyrosaur doesn't like it when its tail is forcefully grabbed, anyone attempting this will be met with a volley of flames." "Clawcer, The Lobster Pokémon, when Clawcers are hunting for Shellder, their favorite prey, they will use their pincers like a pick-ax to tunnel into their prey." "Hmm, you learn something new every day," Sunset said. "But Fire-Type Pokémon is my favorite, so I choose Pyrosaur," Sunset said as Pyrosaur then jumped into her hands. Leafrantis had a look of disappointment while Clawcer didn't seem to mind. "You seem to be very loyal, it's a pleasure to meet you Pyrosaur," Sunset said with a happy face. Pyrosaur then licked Sunset on the cheek, which made it warm up a little. Then another girl entered the Pokémon Center, "Hey Celes, I'm back." "Oh, hello Trixie," Celestia said. "How has your Litten been doing?" "That thing didn't live up to my expectations, so I just got rid of it," Trixie said with a snarky look on her face. Sunset couldn't believe this, Trixie just got rid of a Pokémon, a living creature, and acted like this was normal. "Just wanted to let you know, so next time, you won't give me a Pokémon that becomes a waste of my time," Trixie sneered. Trixie then noticed Sunset and her Pokémon, "Hey nice Pokémon you got there," Trixie said as she then grabbed its tail. Pyrosaur then had an angry face as it let out a volley of flames into Trixie's face. "Agggh," Trixie wailed as her face was burned. "Pyrosaurs don't like it when you grab their tails," Celestia said. "Ugh, whatever, I'll just go find a suitable Pokémon myself," Trixie snarled as she was about to leave before Sunset stopped her. "So you're the one that chained that Litten to a light pole," Sunset said. "If it weren't for me, that Litten would have been Krabby-Chow, do you have any compassion for it at all?" "Why should I, Pokémon are with me so they can make me look good," Trixie said with a devilish tone of voice. "If you got hurt saving that waste of space, then that's on you, not me." Trixie then left the Pokémon center after getting five PPokéball "Wow, she is annoying," Sunset said to herself as she went to get 5 Pokéball's and a Town Map. "Please forgive Trixie, she can get like that sometimes," Professor Celestia said. "It's fine," Sunset said as she was turning to leave. "Oh Sunset before you go, I need you to bring these 5 Pokémon to the Pokémon Lab at Everton City," Celestia said as she brought a container with 5 Pokéballs inside. "Ok thank you, professor," Sunset said as she left for Everton City. Suddenly, a green-haired girl entered the Pokémon Center. "Hello, is this the Pokémon center where Professor Celestia's at," The girl asked. "Yes, I am Professor Celestia, how can I help you," Celestia asked. "My name is Wallflower Blush, I was told that there were three Pokémon you were giving to some trainers, is that correct," Wallflower asked. "Why yes, I've already given this Pyrosaur to a trainer that just left a few seconds ago," Celestia said. "Well in that case, I choose Leafrantis as my partner," Wallflower said as she picked Leafrantis up. "Leafrantis, we're going to be best friends, I just know it." Wallflower said as she and Leafrantis left the Pokémon center with smiles on their faces. (Meanwhile, at Everton City) Twilight was in a complete state of panic, as one of her Pokémon ran off. "Sableye, where are you Sableye," Twilight shouted in utter worry as she desperately searched for her Pokémon. "Duskull, Haunter, go and try to look for Sableye please?" Duskull and Haunter nodded as they went to search for Sableye. Then Twilight noticed one of her friends, Applejack, entering the city. "Applejack," Twilight said as she approached her friend. "Have you seen Sableye anywhere, he ran off again." "Again," Applejack retorted. "That Sableye is always getting into trouble." "I hope he doesn't go on another Gem-eating spree," Twilight stated in worry. "The last time he did that, I got a big earful from Mrs. Harshwinny." "Don't worry Twi, I'll help you find him," Applejack said as she got out a Pokéball. "Sandshrew, Toedscool, I choose you!" The Pokéball opened, revealing Applejack's Sandshrew and Toedscool. "Alright, let's get on our way then," Applejack said as she and Twilight went to search for Sableye. (Meanwhile, in another part of the city) Sableye was busy exploring the town, searching for a juicy snack to munch on. When it soon noticed a cave nearby, full of gems. Sableye started to drool as it spotted the all-you-can-eat buffet before it, it then raced towards the cave. Suddenly, before Sableye could get to the cave, it was caught in a steel cage. "Gotcha, you little gremlin," Ms. Harshwinny said as she came out from the shadows, wearing a Team Flare Uniform. "You'll never irritate me ever again." "Hey, what's going on here," Sunset said as she and Pyrosaur arrived. "None of your concern, little girl, so buzz off," Harshwinny sneered. "Oh really, what's with the Team Flare outfit," Sunset said. "Oh this, I'm Team Flare's new Leader," Harshwinny said. "And I'll make sure that I get a large sum from this Sableye when I sell it off the Pokemon Black Market." Sunset then saw a Zigzagoon, a Butterfree, a Sandile, and a Corphish, all in similar cages. "You, you're a Pokémon Poacher," Sunset roared. "TEAM-FLARE, YOU'RE JUST AS VILE AS TEAM-ROCKET WHEN THEY INVADED THE JOUTO REGION, TAKING POKEMON AWAY FROM THEIR TRAINERS, LIKE WHEN THEY TOOK PIGEOT AND FERROW AWAY FROM MY MOTHER! WELL, YOU'RE NOT GONNA GET AWAY WITH THIS, Pyrosaur and I are gonna stop you." "You're welcome to try brat," Harshwinny snarled. "Furfrou, get ready for battle." Harshwinny's Furfrou appeared. "Pyrosaur, us Bite now," Sunset said as Pyrosaur bit into Furfrou. "Grr, use quick-attack, Furfrou," Harshwinny ordered. "Oh, no, Pyrosaur, try to evade her attack and then use Fire-Fang," Sunset said as Pyrosaur avoided Furfrou's attack and bit down with a fiery bite. "Get ready for your Pokémon to have the worst sunburn it's ever gonna get," Sunset said as she tried to initiate another attack. However, they felt the sand on their feet start to move as 10 Sandygasts appeared from the ground. When the Sandygasts saw sableye in the cage, their eyes glowed red with anger. "Grr, more ghosts," Harshwinny said. "When Team-Flare takes control of this region, I'll run Twilight and her grotesque ghosts out of this city and replace that decrepit gym with a fancy shopping mall." "Wait, if there are Sandygasts, then there must be... a Pallosand as well," Sunset said in worry. Suddenly, the ground trembled as a huge Pallosand appeared, with Sunset's childhood friend, Twilight Sparkle riding on top. "HARSHWINNY, YOU GIVE SABLEYE BACK RIGHT NOW!" Twilight roared. "Never," Harshwinny retorted. The SandyGasts used Sand Attack while Pallosand used Sand-Tomb. "Eek," Harshwinny wailed as she saw the barrage of sand. "FORGET SABLEYE, I'M OUT OF HERE, I WON'T FORGET THIS SUNSET SHIMMER!" Harshwinny ran off while she was covered in sand. The imprisoned Pokémon ran off and Sableye returned to Twilight. "Oh Sunset, thank you so much for saving Sableye," Twilight said happily. "Ugh, just wait till Gladmane finds out that his wife is the new leader of Team Flare!" "You're welcome," Sunset said as she got her Pokédex out to scan Sableye, Sandygast, and Pallosand. "Sandygast, the Sand Heap Pokémon, Born from a sand mound playfully built by a child, this Pokémon embodies the grudges of the departed." "Pallosand, The Sand Castle Pokémon, Possessed people controlled by this Pokémon transformed its sand mound into a castle. As it evolved, its power to curse grew ever stronger." "Sableye, The Darkness Pokémon, feeds on gemstone crystals. In the darkness, its eyes sparkle with the glitter of jewels." "Wow, there are all very interesting Pokémon to learn about," Sunset said. "Oh, I'm sure that you'll find a lot more when you explore more of the region," Twilight said with a smile on her face. "Oh, I almost forgot, Professor Celestia wanted me to send these Pokémon to the lab here," Sunset said. "Oh, thank you, I'll bring these Pokémon to the lab immediately," Twilight said as she left for the lab. "Oh, if you want to challenge my Gym be sure to come once you've collected one Gym Badge." As Sunset and Pyrosaur were heading off, they heard a rustling in the bushes. "Huh," Sunset said as she went to investigate, only to see a small Pokémon look at her. "Oh, hello, little one," Sunset said as she pulled her Pokédex out. Drowsy, the Hypnosis Pokémon, Puts enemies to sleep and then eats their dreams. Occasionally gets sick from eating bad dreams. "Hmm, so your name is Drowsy huh, my name's Sunset and this is my partner Pyrosaur," Sunset said as she greeted the little Pokémon. "Are you lost?" Suddenly, Drowsy let out a pink wave of energy at Sunset. Sunset expected to be hurt by the attack, but for some strange reason, she felt relaxed by it, as she was mesmerized by this wave of relaxation. Sunset had fallen into the Pokémon's trap, and as a result, Sunset had been hypnotized. Sunset then collapsed on the ground, as she fell asleep from the hypnosis. "Drowsy," A girl with orange poofy hair said to her Pokémon. "You hypnotized that poor trainer, snap her out of it right now!" Drowsy complied as it snapped its fingers, which broke Sunset out of the hypnosis. "Mmm, huh, is it morning already," Sunset asked as she let out a yawn. "Sorry about that, you were being hypnotized by my Drowsy," The girl said to Sunset. "Oh, where are my manners, my name is Adagio Dazzle, I just started my Pokémon journey," Adagio said with a shy look on her face. Suddenly, two other girls appeared. "Oh, these are my step-sisters Aria Blaze and her partner, Gothita, and Sonata Dusk and her Partner, Abra," Adagio stated as Aria and Sonata said hello. "We just started as well," Sonata stated. "Well that's obvious," Aria retorted. "We're heading to Cateloopa city to face the first Gym Leader, wanna accompany us," Adagio asked. "Sure, I'd like to," Sunset said as she followed Adagio and her step-sisters on their way to Cateloopa city. (And so, as Sunset's adventure continues, she meets new friends and new enemies, how will her journey to be a Pokémon master progress, find out as Sunset's adventure continues).
