>The cave opened up as you proceeded further. >This was exiting, a previously hidden tunnel revealed by an earthquake. >You congratulated yourself, being nearby when the rumor spread. >A scientist had noticed it but he didn't want to explore it further since he didn't have any Pokémon to protect him. >Your heart raced. >Perhaps you'd find a valuable fossil to regenerate, or even some lost type never seen before. >As you reached the end of the tunnel, a large domed cave stretched out. >There was an underground lake in the middle with a small island at the center. >Small boulders stuck up from the water, allowing you to hop from one to another. >You did exactly that and before you knew it, you reached the center. >A glowing object had caught your attention and you now saw it up close. >It was a crystal between two arcing rock formations.   >You moved closer and it began to glow. >You studied it for a while. >Was it an evolution stone? >Oh man, that would be so cool. >Maybe it was the secret to unlock a new evolution. >This place must be ancient, so an ancient Pokémon.. >Kabutops perhaps, or maybe even GASP.. Mew? >You'd caught all 151, even the elusive Mew. >Thinking about it, it had pretty much just grown attached to you after pranking you all that time. >It just bopped it's nose on the ball and surrendered. >It would have been awesome if it didn't just zap itself out of the ball and ran off again. >That's why you were here, you'd chased after it again and heard of the rumor. >It was on the way, so you decided to check it out. >You'd even brought it's spawn to make it surrender. >Oh god, you had caught it, but Mewtwo really made sure you knew it didn't like you. >It would obey your commands, but hell if it didn't point out every thing it thought you did wrong just to torment you. >You imagined you'd finally making that pink joker submit. >So much you didn't realize that the crystal was in your hands before it was too late.   >White. >Falling. >Faceplant. "Ouch."   >You put your hands on the cave floor that felt eerily smooth. >Opening your eyes, you looked around. >Marble tiles, pillars, white everywhere. >Large domed windows adorned the walls, showing some unknown horse-like Pokémons in effigy. >Did the crystal transport you into some kind of sanctum, or was the cave just an illusion to hide this chamber? >A million questions swarmed your mind before something caught your eyes. >One of the unknown species was looking at you, from a raised platform with stairs. >It stared at you with a hanging jaw. >Heh. Nice trick, but your illusion won't stop me. >Mewtwo had tried the same shit. >Illusions and mind games to try and throw you off from getting close. >You grabbed the ball and threw it. >From the ball, light emerged and formed the snarky latest member of your team. >"Oh great, the human needs my help again. I swear, how did you even manage to breathe before you caught me?" >You didn't feel like dealing with his shit right now. >You'd do it quick and start exploring this place. "Confusion, now!" >Mewtwo shrugged and swiped his arm outwards, sending a psychic mindwave towards the white horse-like Pokémon. >It took the hit head on, apparently caught by surprise. >Like expected, it began to sway back and forth, trying to speak but it only came out as random vowels. >A few blasts of colorful energy shot from it's horn, but in it's confusion all it did was miss and hurt itself as it fell flat on it's face.   >You smirked and grabbed an Ultra ball. "Finish it off with a Swift attack." >Mewtwo didn't even argue this time, he just shoved his hand forward and a swarm of shining stars struck the confused Pokémon, sending it crashing back into the throne. >It struggled to get up, shaking legs and trembling weakly. >It's mane turned from it's beautiful aurora colors to a faint pink. >You threw the ball, a victorious grin spreading upon your lips. >"W-why?" >She spoke before the ball hit her and she transformed into light, absorbed by the ball. >Huh? >"Did it just speak?" >Mewtwo seemed as confused as you were. >He could speak telepathically, but you'd never heard of a Pokémon that could actually form comprehensive words. >You walked over to the pile of gravel that was left of the throne and wall. >The ball shook several times before the trademark click sealed the ball. >It was now under your control. >The ball would re-write it's neural patterns to accept your commands as if it was instinct. >You took off your back pack and fished a full restore from it. >The small capsule whirred and grew into a full bottle. >You connected it to the ball's intake port and injected the recovering medicine. >Then you picked up your Pokédex and made a scan of the ball. >-"Unknown species. Recommending upgrading your Pokédex™ at the nearest research center."- >Oh man! This was an unknown species! >You had caught the one hundred and fifty second Pokémon! >YES! >"If you're done monkeying about, can I go back to sleep now?" >His tone didn't make it sweeter so you returned Mewtwo to the ball before his attitude ruined you sweet moment. >It would have been sweeter thought, if a spear didn't just slam into the wall an inch from your face. >You turn to the direction of where it came from and you see a large group of Pokémon in armor, wielding spears. >"Surrender and unhand the princess, you fiend!" >Fuck.   >You stopped to think this over a bit rationally. >They wielded weapons, not uncommon. >Marowak and Cubone had bones to use, but spears were a different kind of hurt. >You could probably wipe the floor with the using Mewtwo, but you had another thought in your mind. >Gripping the ball tighter in your hand, you smirked. "Unhand her? Sure, if you so wish." >You chuckled and threw the ball to the floor before them. >The restored Pokémon appeared from it's blue light, standing with it's restored aurora mane before them. >One of the armored ones dropped it's spear and approached it. >"Princess, are you alright?" >You fold your arms across your chest. "Princess?" >Oh snap! She must be some kind of super-powerful Pokémon if she can make others address her as such. >You also weren't aware of male or female Pokémon.. something you'd have to mention to Prof Oak once you got back. >In either case, you wanted these pests gone. They'd thrown spears at you. >So you aimed your Pokédex at the newly caught... wait a minute. >You just realized she didn't get transported to the storage unit. >Suddenly, you look at your belt, seeing that you indeed had all six Pokéballs on your belt. >Why are you suddenly allowed to have seven members on your team? >could it be the strange chamber you're in? >Maybe the PC can't sense you from here. >Another thing you'd have to fill Oak in on.   >You aim the 'Dex at the newly caught one and click to have it scan the move set. >Strange.. a big list suddenly appears. >Did she really have this big of a move set? >Four was the norm, or at least you thought so. >You'd never found one with more than four at least. >You must have hit the jackpot this time. >You scrolled down and found one, oh this one was a classic. "Solar beam!" >The white one began charging up her horn. >"Uhm.. princess?" >She shook her head, looking back at you with sorrowful eyes. >"Please, no!" >It's too late. She released the charged energy and in a flash all the other ones lay sprawled on the floor and against the walls, groaning. >You chuckled, skipping down the stairs and gave her a pat on the back. "Now that's my girl. I think we're going to be a wonderful team." >You barely had tome to retract your hand before she snapped her teeth at it. >"Don't you DARE touch me, you monster! What did you just make me do?!" >A feisty one... ugh, just like Mewtwo. >You sighed and checked your 'Dex. "Scan for Pokéball malfunction." >It beeps a bunch before it displays the message -"No malfunction detected, Ultraball at full operational function."- >Odd. Why didn't she accept you? >Even Mewtwo would not attempt to harm you even if he gave you lip.   >You stroked your chin before sucking her back into the ball. >She must be some kind of super-powerful Pokémon if she has this big of a move set and can resist the neural programming. >Man, with all of this you'd easily walk away with some kind of award. >Oak would get one too. He was odd, but he knew a lot of stuff about Pokémon. >You strolled down the hallways. Apparently the whole cavalry had appeared to stop you because you couldn't find ONE armored type as you walked along. >Most of the others you came across ran in fear as you approached, so you had no chance to investigate them. >This was getting weird. >No matter where you went, you couldn't find the exit to the cave anywhere. >Then you finally came to a pair of large doors and you pushed them open. >Holy shit. >There was an entire town inhabited by these weird Pokémon. >You stood in the doorway for a bit. The horse-types began to form a crown, speaking over each other. >One of them walked up to you. It was a small one. >"Uhm mister? Who are you?" >You blinked a few times. "What?" >It scraped it's hoof on the shaped stairs leading up to the doors you stood by. >"It's just.. I've never seen anything like you before." >A Pokémon who'd never seen a human before? >You were pretty sure that was bullshit. >Pokémon and humans had existed alongside each other since the dawn of both their kind.   >You sighed and looked down at it before your eyes returned to the crowd. >This wasn't getting any better. >And where the hell was the cave opening?
