DWA: Welcome! One and All! To, The Arceus Assassin: Arc 4: Johto. Man I cannot tell you how excited I am for this arc it's gonna be great! Now my one downside is how little of the Johto region I have played. Gold and Silver are very distant memories, and my Heartgold experience is Subpar at best, but I will persevere. There will be no review section as this is a brand new story! So, as a reminder, OC winners are RedAgent14 and KnightofStories, yes I know there are numbers in KoS's name but eh.

Also, this story is gonna be rated T, swears will be present cause honestly no one cares. There will be violence, no sexual themes. I am, however, worried that the violence will shoot it into the M rating, but, we'll see. If I (and the readers) feel it does, we jack up the rating.
Pokemon is the trademarked property of Nintendo, I don't own it. However. Lily, and the plot this fanfic has, are mine.

Also, a reminder, Lily's journey through Johto takes place during the same time period as Stanley's journey in Kanto.

Now, without further delay, I give you, Arc 4.

Chapter 1: A Grand Start

-(o)- New Bark Town, 11:00am

It felt like a normal day throughout the Johto Region, and in New Bark Town, children playing adults going about with their work

There was one abnormality, however.

"SORRY!" A young voice shouted as a man sat on the ground, stunned. He'd been knocked over by something moving way to fast to register. This UFO was none other than Lily Zenex. She was on her Absol Midnight, unique in her pitch black fur, and she held her Ralts. Zack, who had purple eyes, darker purple hair and black gems. Lily had dark green eyes, brunette hair, a grey T-shirt with a golden Pokeball on it, a sleeveless black jacket, and black shorts tipped in red. She had her own change of clothes for later, but for now, this was her outfit.

[Why are we in such a rush?] Midnight asked.

"I wanna get going ASAP!" Lily shouted happily. Midnight turned a corner and ran headfirst into a person, knocking them back.

[You're apologizing.] Midnight said and rested as the person stood and shook her head.

Lily bowed. "I'm really sorry ma'am!" She said. The woman laughed much to her surprise.

"Oh it's no trouble at all young miss, heading to Elm's lab?" She asked. Lily looked up to see the woman wearing cargo pants, a white tank top, and a cape with a wide collar, and bright golden hair and eyes.

"Y-Yes!" She said. The woman nodded. "Well, good luck in the league…name?" She asked

"Lily! Lily Zenex!" She said. The woman nodded.

"Well, good luck Oh also! Please take this, as to remember this encounter." She said and handed her a white and black stone. "Memories are one of the most important things we can cherish, so each new encounter should be treated the same." She said and Lily took the stone and smiled.

"Thank you ma'am!" She said happily.

"Keep that stone close to you, good luck Lily." She said and walked past her. Lily put the stone away in her bag.

"Come on Midnight! To adventure!" She shouted and Midnight took off towards the lab.

With Midnights speed it didn't take long till they were on the raod.

-(o)- At the lab

"Come on Hana!" A boy said. The girl in question lived here in New Bark, Hana Riela was an aspiring trainer, and had come for her first Pokemon. She had dirty blond hair, a blue shirt, cream jacket, and black pants, and hazel eyes. She glared at the boy.

"Shut it Jake. I'll take my time!" She said. A couple minutes later she chose a Poke Ball and nodded. "You an me partner! We'll take on the world!" She said grinning. As she went to get her trainer license, which Elm had in his hand. The doors suddenly burst open and Lily and Midnight came in, Midnight skidding to a stop and tossing Lily and Zack into the ground.

"Oooowwwww." She muttered as Midnight giggled.

"Oh my, are you okay young lady?" Elm asked. Lily shot up from the ground.

"Never better!" She said.

"Who are you?" Hana asked.

"Lily! Lily Zenex! I'm here for my Trainer License!" She said happily.

"First come first serve kid." One of the boys. "No starter's left."

"Oh no no! These two are mine!" She said walking over to Midnight and Zack waved. "They're my starters!" The two just stared.

"Two starters? You can't be serious." Hana said hand on her hip looking over the girl.

"Well, Midnight won't be battling for a while. She's way too strong!" Lily said and Midnight puffed out her chest proudly. Elm walked over to Lily.

"Birch sends his regards Lily." He said smiling and handed her the license. And Lily bounced happily as she took it. "Also, may I inspect your Ralts please?" He asked

"Professor?" One of the boys said.

"Oh sorry! This Pokemon hatched from an egg that was years overdue to hatch!" He said taking the Ralts and set it on a table, and a glow came down on him.

"Relax Zack! He won't hurt you." Lily said and Zack nodded and sat still.

Hana was somewhat angry, what was so special about this girl, why was she getting special treatment?

"Well that should do it, you're all set Lily." Elm said and Lily walked over and grabbed Zack and held him close and Zack giggled. Elm walked up to Hana and handed Hana her license. "Sorry for the wait Hana. In all reality, Lily called ahead and would have had first pick." He said

"Well, I'll be off!" Lily said.

"Hold on!" Hana said and Lily looked to her. "We're battling. I wanna fight that Absol!" Hana said. She had to show this girl up, she can't just come in here with her different pokemon!

"Nope." Lily said. "If you wanna fight Zack that's fine but Midnight would win." She said. Hana stomped her foot on the ground.

"You can't just deny the challenge!" Hana shouted.

"Yes I can…why would I be obligated to accept?" She asked.

"Oh dear." A boy said.

"Fine! I'll battle the stupid Ralts!" She said angrily. Lily smiled.

"Okay! This will be Zack's first battle! Do we have a field?" She asked.

"Yes, just outback." Elm said.

"Hana's gonna whip this kid." One of the boys said as Lily carefreely ran out to the back. Midnight glared at the two and followed as Hana walked.

"I'd be careful you two, that Absol looks like she won't take any crap from anyone." She said and ran out. The boys shrugged and followed.

Lily was ready and rocking back and forth on her heels. "Ready for you first battle Zack!?" She said excitedly. Zack looked back and nodded and got ready, something seemed to click inside him as he took a stance. Hana set up on the other side and Elm walked to the ref box.

"This will simply be a one on one, first to faint loses, ready set go." He said with a smile as Hana tossed out her Poke Ball. "Chikorita, trounce this girl!" She shouted and the quadruped appeared on the field smiling happily.

"Okay Zack, Growl!" She said and Ralts let out a shout, the sound wave passing Chikorita and making it shudder.

"Tackle!" Hana shouted and Chikorita rushed forward. Zack stepped back and his face hardened and a dark energy formed in his hand and he threw it, the whisps wrapping around Chikorita and locking it in place.

"What's that move!?" A boy said.

"I-I don't know?" Elm said confused as Chikorita struggled.

"Zack, what is that?" Lily asked.

[I, don't know, my body just moved Lily…but I have another move like it.] He said.

"Another one? Well try it out." She said earning confused looks from the others. Zack nodded and formed a ball of power in his hands, and it turned shadowy and he shot it at the ground and a weak pulse shot out from the ground and slammed into Chikorita, launching it out of the hold. It landed hard on the ground and got up.

"Razor Leaf!" Hana said and Chikorita swiped the leaf on its head and sent a flurry of leaves.

"Confusion!" Lily said and Zack's eyes glowed pink as did the leaves and they stopped, then floated harmlessly to the ground. More leaves passed by and slashed Zack, and he cried out at bthe unfamiliar feeling of pain. He started shaking, not sure how to process it.

"Zack! It's okay, I'm right here!" Lily said. "Let's use that wave attack!" Zack nodded and repeated the process, the shadowy wave slamming into Chikorita and launching it up, when it landed, it was out cold. Hana blinked and sighed.

"Well shoot, hey, what were those attacks?" She asked.

"I don't know, neither does Zack." She said picking up the Ralts, whose eyes were set on Chikorita before it was recalled.

"Well you should learn, a good trainer knows their own Pokémon's moves." She chastised and started going back to town. "When we meet again I'm kicking your butt!" She shouted. Lily just looked at her Ralts.

"Lily." Elm said and she looked at him. "I think I have a hunch as to what those moves were." He said. "But I will say nothing of it until I go over the data I have. But, know this, those special moves, try not to focus on them, not until we know why they exist." Elm said and Lily nodded.

"I understand Professor. We'll work really hard. Also, I'll try not to use them, unless we absolutely have to!" She said happily. Elm nodded.

"Very good, now, head to the Poke Mart in town. Your parents called and told me to remind you to go get supplies and a communication device." He said.

"I will, have a good day Professor Elm!" She said and ran off. He looked inside and saw the two boys had taken their gear he'd left and as soon as Lily was out of sight he ran inside and typed on his computer, a face came up on the screen soon after.

"Ah Professor Elm, what can I do for you?" The man asked.

"Professor Krane, please tell me, and I need your most scientific answer." He said and looked around before looking to Krane. "Can a Shadow Pokémon be born naturally?"

DWA: And we start. Now this was short, but I plan to rectify that in the future. This was the pilot, so its gonna be short. Part of me wants to take a page from El Torro's book and make a theme song but uh, uhhh. I am part of the musically uninclined. But that's not here nor there.
So Lily met Hana, and before you're wondering if she belongs to someone else, she does not. Hana is my OC and the jerk rival, she lost today but she will get stronger. Lily will resist using the special moved for the same reason she won't use Midnight. Fairness.
Anyways! Hope you all, enjoyed! Please, Follow, Favorite, and of course, Review. Have a good day everyone.
