Major revisions to formatting and grammar which should make for an easier read. Also, last BUMP before archiving. Thanks again.

THANK YOU SO MUCH TO EVERYONE IS READ (AND IS STILL READING) THE SAGA I PUT TOGETHER. Seeing people return a couple times a week to read the new chapters makes me realize the effort to write was worth it. If you have any feedback on the story as a whole, I would love to hear it. THANKS AGAIN...

The Final Chapter The environment was black and blue and purple with small pinpricks of light shining through from an unknown source. It was as if the entire group was flying through outer space. And yes, they were flying, positioned safely on Solgaleo’s shadow as the Sunne Pokémon swam...

All that Remains is the End The Hall of Origin was gone, along with Arceus and his guardians. The eleven of them were standing behind an old-fashioned stone house in an area no-one recognized. The sound of vomiting could be heard and everyone turned to see Lance, doubled over and holding his...

Arceus and the Guardians (Part 2) The four of them vanished again and they re-appeared on the eastern end of Route 112 in Hoenn. Bryan and Elizabeth had briefly visited Hoenn. Was it really just a week ago? It felt like so much longer. Bryan checked the map and they headed west toward...

Arceus and the Guardians (Part 1) The others hung back, but Bryan and Patrick, side-by-side, nearly holding hands, approached it. “WELCOME TO THE HALL OF ORIGIN.” Patrick and Bryan halted. The Pokémon had the booming tone of Lugia, yet the voice was distinctly different. Without looking...

The Unown Riddle Mew sighed, the most vocal sound Bryan had heard it make. “Stupid legends and lore,” he muttered, “it doesn’t have to be that difficult. You must collect all of the Unown and travel to Spear Pillar. There we can meet Arceus.” “We,” confirmed Bryan. “Yes, we,” Mew stated...

The Titans and their Master (Part 2) Bryan’s first call was a bit of a surprise. He dialed the number into the video phone at the Pokémon Center and waited. No response. He tried a second time. An automated voice told him that his contact would be available in 30 minutes. Bryan rubbed his...

The Titans and Their Master (PART 1) Bryan opened his mouth to speak, but it wasn’t necessary, Lugia knew his thoughts before they escaped his lips. “WE WILL TRAVEL TO SINNOH AND SEEK OUT THE COLOSSUS AND ITS TITANS.” Only a true master can control the titans. The line jumped from Bryan’s...

Patience Elizabeth led him into a cave. Much like the Seafoam Islands in Kanto, the Whirl Islands were lit by sunlight that filtered through skylights in the cave ceiling and down to lower levels by gaps or holes in the cave floor. Despite living only a short way from the mysterious islands...

A Test of Power As they had traveled with the bikes, the trip from Goldenrod to Ecruteak took considerably less time than normal. Bryan knew a short cut that bypassed National Park and, before long, they cruised by the fork that led west to National Park, east to Violet City, and north to...

The Beast is Unleashed Bryan was given a hero’s welcome. People lined the streets of Olivine City to greet their former gym leader home. A huge banner was hung between two street lamps on the road south from Route 39. On the banner, in dark, blue letters, were the words: Welcome Home Bryan...

The Pokémon League Tournament When at last March gave way to April, Bryan was ready for his next challenge. The trip from Pallet Town north to Viridian City was short, yet trekking out Route 22 and through Victory Road would take the better part of a week. Most of the other trainers attending...

Prepping for the Pokémon League Bryan hardly remembered the rest of the day. He had a brief recollection of being begrudgingly presented with the Earth Badge before a mob of crazed fans swept over him and carried him off. The sensation was surreal, though not thoroughly enjoyed, and he was...

Bryan vs. Blue: Full-Power Showdown Upon arrival in Viridian City, Bryan headed directly to the gym, but was frustrated to find it locked. He backtracked to the Pokémon Center and asked the attendant where he could find the gym leader. “Are you a Level 3 trainer,” she asked. Bryan proved...

Unexpected Feraligatr, being heavier, hit the ground first and attempted to catch Bryan. The Big Jaw Pokémon failed, yet semi-cushioned his master's fall. It was still immensely painful as Bryan hit the ground, but at least he didn’t break anything. A strange, radiant light filled the...

A Trip to Tanoby In order to return some order of normality to his life after a couple strange days in a secret basement talking to an ancient, mythical Pokémon, Bryan headed to Cinnabar Island Gym first thing the next morning. The gym was tiny, understandable given its remote location. When...

Some Long-Awaited Answers After checking his Pokémon in with the nurse at the Pokémon Center, Bryan swallowed his pride and took one of the beds offered. He slept long and fitfully for the first time since Cassi had left him in Fuchsia City. The next morning, he picked up his Pokémon, had a...

Alone in a Cold, Dark World? The next couple of days passed too quickly for Bryan’s liking because, at the end of them, he had to bid farewell to Cassi and set out alone once more. In addition, he was headed southwest over the Seafoam Islands and he wasn’t a fan of the open water. True, he...

The Mysteries Behind the Masks The Celadon City Gym looked more like an arboretum than a gym. The high glass ceiling intensified the mid-morning sun, making the inside of the gym stifling, despite the cool air outside. An attendant in a kimono greeted them and led them to a tree-shaded grove...
