Chapter 1

From School, to Summer, to Pokémon?

(Joey's POV)

I had just finished my last final exam for 9th grade, and while I had a fun summer planned, with lots of boating, fishing, and camping, I would miss going to my school area in the front of the house. 9th grade had been long, with almost twenty-four classes, from writing, to history, to health and safety, and even a small course about guns and knifes, and I couldn't wait to see all of my friends, who I hadn't seen that much since the end of band class in the spring, but even then, there were only a dozen of us, and even in a town of only nine hundred people that was really small, and that was only about one forth of all of all of my friends, so I couldn't wait to see there faces when they see me again.

I had grown again over the summer, and I was now 6'2" instead of 5'9" and I had lost a lot a weight, from 220 pounds to 180, which should of been a large drop in weight, but it had no negative effects on me, given that I am only 15 1/2 years old.

I left my school area in the front of our house, and back to our dinning room, where my younger brother, Vincent, and my stepfather, Robert, were studying on Vincent's last few test for his school year.

"Good news Robert," I said as Robert turned around in his chair from the other computer, " I just finished my last test of the year!"

"Good for you, Joey" said Robert, a smile coming over his face, "you know what that means?"

"I now get ice cream!" I said grabbing Robert's truck keys, as I ran outside "I'll go start the truck!"

I ran outside, only to remember that I wasn't wearing anything on my feet, so I ran back inside and put on my sandals, since I didn't want to go upstairs to put on a pair of socks for my tennis shoes. After I put them on, I ran outside, only to find that our five chickens that my mom had gotten so she would have fresh eggs for her poached eggs in the morning, had gotten out of there pen and there were all standing by our large white oak tree, looking at something. I walked over to them, slowly so that they wouldn't run away, since I really didn't want to play 'chase the chickens down the street' which was always a pain since they always split up and went in every direction at once, but as I got closer, they still didn't move till I was standing next to them and I saw what they were looking at.

A light blue disk, about as wide as a basketball, was sitting on the ground, glowing slightly. I reached over to touch it, even thou a part of me was telling me not to, but I never listen to that part that often, and when I touched it, the chickens went in a line and walked back into there pen. The disk felt smooth, like plastic, yet it also felt like maybe it was made of lots of smaller parts. I picked it us, and it was surprisingly heavy for its size, and as I examined it, the disk started to him and vibrate slightly, and then I got a headache, which felt like I had a railroad spike being hammered into my head. I dropped to one knee from the pain, and then I heard a voice, feminine in nature, yet it didn't sound quite human.

[Joey... Can you hear us?]

I looked around, yet the only thing that was around was the chickens, and I doubted that they learned how to speak.

[We need your help. Come here at this time.] At this I saw a digital clock in my head with 1:30 AM on it.

"Who is there!" I called out, trying to get whoever was speaking to come out.

"Joey? What are you doing over there?" I heard, as I turned around to see Robert walking out of the house, "I thought you were going to start the car, since you have the keys."

"Ya, I was about to, but the chickens got out," I said as, I looked for the disk, by it had disappeared, so I walked over to the truck, passing the keys to Robert as I walked by him.

We got in the truck and went down to the store on main street, but all the while I couldn't shake that odd voice out of my head. It was odd, human like in nature, and definitely feminine, but it had undertones in it, like a accent people from other places have, but it wasn't one I recognized. When we finally got to the store, I went straight to the frozen food aisle, and took a quick look.

As part of my reward for finishing online school early, I was allowed to get a pint of any ice cream I wanted, but I wasn't really focused on the picking of ice cream. I reached into the cooler, and grabbed a thing of peanut butter ice cream, even thou there was a thing of Butterfingers ice cream sitting right next to it.

Out of the corner of my eye, I could see Robert getting a odd look on his face, like I had done something that he didn't expect, which I had, but he didn't say anything about it. We went and paid for the ice cream and left for home. On the way home, I still couldn't figure out what was bothering me about that voice, and once again I was having a debate inside my head, with one side wanting me to ignore the voice and the other saying to do what the voice said.

I looked at my watch, and saw that it was almost 2:00 in the afternoon and we would have to pick up my youngest brother from school, so we wouldn't be home till about twenty after, and if I was to get up at 1:30 in the morning, I would have to go to sleep early, and make a excuse for it.

.

(11 hours later. Joey's POV)

I woke up for my light sleep on my bed and checked the time. Five after one, a good amount of time to get things and go outside. I got up and changed from my pajamas to a black pair of jeans and a black short sleeve shirt, I then grabbed my watch, phone, flashlight, and put them in my backpack which I took with, and put a pair of socks on and started down stairs. It took me a few minutes, even thou we only had 15 steps and 2 landings, the stairs squeaked every so often. The noise usually woke Tony, my youngest brother, but he had had a long day at school so he was in a very deep sleep and wouldn't know I even left, unless he woke somehow and opened my accordion door and looked in to my room, but he knew I freaked when he did that. It's my room, if your not invited in, don't enter.

When I got down stairs, I grabbed two bottles of water from the fridge and put it into my bag, and as I was walking past the dinning room, I saw Robert's tactical knife sitting on the hutch.

"Rule #9," I mutter looking at the knife and remembered one of the rules from the TV show NCIS, "never go anywhere without a knife."

I went over to the hutch and grabbed the knife and it's sheaf and hooked it onto my waist. I then grabbed my black and red hoodie from the mud room and put it and my deep navy blue tennis shoes on. Then, with all my things, I went out side and stood by the white oak tree and looked at my watch.1:28 in the morning, so only two minutes of waiting.

I closed my eyes and waited for 1:30 to come around.

I soon was distracted by a low humming noise competing from the right of me, so I looked over and saw a blue orb that hadn't been there before, about the size of a tennis ball, humming and glowing slightly in a navy blue light. Thinking that this was what I was to find, I picked it up. The orb stoped humming and the glowing started pulsing, slowly at first, but then faster till it was flashing about as fast as a old florescent bulb that are sometimes found in schools. Stars started flashing in front of my eyes, so I looked away, but the stars stayed. My head then started hurting, but not as hard as my other headache, which felt like I had a railroad spike being hammered into my head, but rather like I had hit my head multiple times on a wall, but this headache I could handle so I didn't fall to one knee this time.

The headache went away, but it felt like there was two heads inside of my skull, my own and someone else's head, I then saw two shadows come forward, or so it looked, but their foot prints weren't affecting the grass, so my first thought was that I had hit my head on my desk, and that I would wake up any moment now and get back to work. My other thought was crazy, but still possible if this orb accessed the nervous system, and that what I was seeing was real, and that something huge was happening with me in the middle of it.

The shadows took shape, and I recognized both, but both were fake, imaginary things from a game. The first shadow took a humanoid shape, but there was a odd lump in the center of its chest. It's legs arms and waist were very thin, and there were three small lumps on each side of its head. The other figure to one the shape of something that looked like a dog, but with a bushy tail, and it had some odd mound around its neck. A Gardevoir and a Eevee, both pokémon, which don't exist.

[Before you ask, yes you are seeing us, and no you are not imagining things]

I looked around, trying to find the source of the sound. It haven't come from the shadows, since they hadn't moved since they took shape, and yet it sounded like the words had come from their direction.

[We are speaking into your head. We hear what you think, and you hear in your head what we send to you.] said the voice, which I now recognized as the voice that had spoken earlier.

[Yes, we are the ones who contacted you. Like we said earlier, we need your help]

How can I help? I thought, instead of speaking as instructed, and are you what I think you are?

[For the first question, go to this place,] I then saw the old elementary school that was shut down five years ago and a clock that said 2:00, [as for the other, all will be revealed in time]

What kind of answer is that? It's about as round as telling someone to do something because you said to.

[Just do it,] said the voice as the shadows broke apart, [We need you to.]

With those words, the shadows disappeared, and I was left alone in the yard with the glowing orb.

"What should I do," I said to myself, "do I do what to shadowy figures in the shape of two pokémon that aren't suppose to be real said, or do I ignore what they said and throw this orb in the trash." The answer for me was simple. Figure out what this was, then stay or leave at anytime I wanted. I had learned how to throw knifes in weapons class, so I would be fine if I got into trouble.

I looked at my watch, which had a backlight, and it said that it was 1:35. The old school was only a few minutes away, but I would have to run so I wasn't seen. If I got spotted, my parents would hear about it, and then I would be toast.

I put the orb in my hoodie pocket and started off to the school. It was almost pitch black outside, even with the few lights that were by the road, and I was tempted to turn on my flashlight, but if someone else was up and saw the light, then I would get in trouble. In this town, people could tell who you were just by the way you move, or by the way you hold things.

The old school came into view, and I could see a light in the gym, which shouldn't be there. The town had cut water and power to the building when they closed the school. The school had been functional for over 60 years, but the town had lost a lot of money when they lost the paper mill, everything was going digital now and paper was going away, so they moved the elementary up the street, so that it shared the building with the high-school. I walked over to the side of the building and checked my watch which said it was 1:38. I had made good time, even with the fact that I couldn't see three feet in front of me because of the dark.

I tried to open the door in the side of the building, and it opened easily so I went inside, and turned on my flashlight. The school smelled like dust and mildew, and there were spider webs everywhere. I made sure to avoid those, since I hated spiders, as I went threw the corridor to the staircase. There was no light coming from upstairs, but the light from the gym was still glowing so I went that way. As I went, I thought about why I had been called here. Could I have been called here for a prank, a way of getting me to go places without my parents knowing, or was I going to get robbed? I was drawn from my thoughts by a loud crash, and the loss of the light from the gym. Deciding to see what it was without being seen, I turned off my flashlight and continued to the gym.

When I got there, I looked through the open door and saw a electric lantern, sitting in the middle of the room, turned off, but with the bulb in it still glowing slightly, so it hadn't been out for long. I pulled Robert's tactical knife out of its sheaf and slowly walked into the room, crouching as I did so I was harder to see.

I went over to the lantern, but stopped when a light shined on me, which made me quickly stop and throw the knife out at the light. I heard it thud into the wood of the bleachers, but the light stayed on me, so I put my hand up to see who it was, but when my eyes adjusted, I saw that there was no one there but a flashlight.

"Impressive knife skills," said a female voice from behind, "you almost hit the light."

I turned to try to see who it was, but my eyes had to readjust, so I couldn't see who it was.

"Although you could use some help on your ability to sneak up on people. I have known you were coming ever since you entered the building."

"Of course you knew I was coming, you were the one who summoned me to come here, with this orb," I said pulling out the blue orb from my pocket, waiting for my eyes to adjust.

"I didn't summon you. I too was told to come here by a orb."

"Well that's odd, but since neither one of us summoned the other, can we turn on the lantern so I can see you?"

"Yes, sorry," said the voice as the flashlight went out and the lantern went on, allowing my eyes to fully adjust to see a girl, about my age in blue pants, pink sweater, with long brown hair and shocking blue-green eyes. Like me, she had a pair of tennis shoes on, but hers looked more like feet then shoes, but I doubted she had neon green colored feet, that would just be odd.

"Joey? Is that you?" Said the girl, cracking a smile, "it's me, Mia."

"Mia," I said shaking my head in confusion, " I thought you moved away?"

"Nope. I had to redo eighth grade. I failed language arts, so I couldn't move on."

"How did you pull that off?" I said as I went to pull Robert's knife out of the bleachers and put down my bag.

"I didn't study all year. I decided instead I would play the new pokémon game they just came out with. Over one hundred hours of play I put into it, and I still haven't finished it."

"I was able to complete the game in under twenty-four hours," I said walking back with the knife, "it was really simple."

"How was it simple!" said Mia wavering her arms in exaggeration, "I can't even get past the Dragon type dungeon!"

"I have one word for you. Fairy."

"Fairy?"

"Yes. Fairy type pokémon don't take damage from Dragon type, and can dish out damage to them with ease."

"Well thanks for that," said a third voice, male in nature, and I turned to see two more people walking in, a boy and a girl about the same age, but younger then me by a few years, and from the looks of it, they were siblings, "now I know what my favorite type is weak to."

"What are you two doing here?" Mia ask looking at the two kids.

"I could ask you the same thing, but I think we all know why we are here, seeing as you have a orb," said the boy who pointed at the blue orb in my left hand.

"You have any idea what these are?" I asked the boy, holding the orb up to eye level, "cause I have no idea."

"I don't know either, but I do know that if you drop them, they don't break, or even dent."

"How do you know that? Mia asked, pulling a bright pink orb out, "these things look and feel like they are made of glass."

"I got zapped by mine, and I dropped it on a rock," said the boy shaking his head, "I can't take electric hits that well."

"I probably should have started with this, but my name is Joey," I said extending my hand to the boy, "what's your name."

"Steve, said the boy shaking my hand, " and this is my younger sister, Alex."

"I'm Mia," said Mia shaking Steve's hand, "why is Alex so quite?"

"She has selective muteisum She can't speak around strangers," said Steve shaking his head lightly, "but once she speaks, you will find that she is a nice girl."

"It's nice to meet you Alex," I said nodding to her.

Alex started makeing signs in the air with her hands, which I saw as sign language, to Steve. Please tell him I said that it is nice to meet him too, signed Alex

No need, I sighed back, startling both Steve and Alex, I had a deaf friend at a old school, so I picked up a few things.

"You know how to sign," said Steve, "impressive."

"I know a thing or two," I said smiling, "just enough to have basic conversations."

"Well, now that we have gotten through the intro part of today, does anyone know what we are doing here, and why we each have a orb?" Asked Mia looking at each of us.

"I don't know, but maybe we can find out if we look at all the orbs at once," I said looking as Steve and Alex, "what color is you orb?"

"We don't have one," said Steve pulling his right hand out of his pocket and opening his hand, revealing a emerald green orb, "we have two."

I then saw that Alex had a bag and was rummaging through it. She finally stoped and pulled out a ruby red orb from her bag, and from the looks of the orbs, each was the same size and brightness, the only difference between them was the color each had.

"Four orbs, each a different color, and each with a different person," I said looking at each orb,"there has to be a connection between us."

There wasn't. None of us had ever been at the same place at the same time. We had all gone to the same school, but by the time Alex came, I had gone. None of us used the same things, and none of us had the same religion. Steve and Alex were Jewish, while Mia was Catholic, and I was the odd one. I believe that science was the answer to all, not a God, and that there was no afterlife.

I sat down on the bleachers and put my head in my head in my hands. As far as I could see, their was no correlation between us, other then us being called to a abandoned school at a late hour by strange orbs we found. It then clicked into my head. I found the orb by pokémon, so it was possible that they too had been contacted the same.

I voiced my idea, and it turned out that we all had been contacted the same, pokémon like shadows, speaking with a voice in our heads. This was a start, maybe.

"So we are told to come here by pokémon," said Mia, doubt in her voice, "I don't think so."

"It's the only possible explanation to all this," I said, "what else could it be?"

"One very large prank set up by our families," said a voice from the door out of the gym, "or maybe we are all going crazy."

I turned to see another boy, almost my age by the look of him, but maybe a year younger, in a full black and red outfit. He looked up and came over to us, and as he came, I could see that he had blond hair and grey eyes, which was almost impossible unless he had a injury. You don't get grey eyes naturally.

"Sorry about that, but I had been listening to your conversation for some time, and I have a thought," he said looking at each of us in turn, "from what I can hear, I think that Joey is right. All the facts fit, and when all the facts fit, then it must be the truth."

"Why should be listen to you?" Steve asked, giving the boy a dirty look, "How do we know that you didn't trick us into coming here?"

"Because I have a orb as well," said the boy pulling out a yellow orb.

"So now there are five of us," said Mia looking at the five orbs, "five people, five orbs, each different, but each similar somehow."

"Make that six people," said a female voice, and we all turned to find a girl dressed in yellow and blue coming out of a door in the opposite side of the gym. She walked over to us and pulled a purple orb out of her pocket, "and six orbs. I have one."

"And who would you be?" Asked Steve looking at the girl as she walked over and stood next to the rest of us.

"I'm Emma," said the girl looking first at Steve and then the boy who had come earlier, "hi Ryan, long time, no see."

"It's good to see you Emma," said the boy who had just come, Ryan, "you look well."

"You two know each other?" I asked looking at the two.

"Yes, we used to go out for a time," said Emma, "Till his parents found out that he was seeing me."

"So there are six of us," said Mia looking at the six orbs and at each of us, "what does all this mean?"

Before anyone could answer, a low bussing noise started, and then all six orbs started flashing there respective light color. There was then a harsh sound, like the sound of claws on a chock broad being amplified by by a thousand times, and we all dropped to the ground from the pain. A white flash then came from the now dropped orbs, blinding us.

When l could finally see again, and the ringing in my ears stoped, I got up and looked around, and I could see the others doing the same thing. The room was the same as before, except there was a glowing white cube had appeared next to the wall. Wondering if the cube was about, I went over and knelt beside of it to get a better look at it. The cube was about a foot tall, and it had a hole in each side, about as wide as a tennis ball, and about that deep as well.

"What the Hell was that!" Mia said shaking her head.

"I have no idea," said Steve, looking at Alex, "are you ok?"

I couldn't see what Alex signed to him, but then Steve was next to me, looking at the box.

"Any idea what this is?" Steve asked me as he touched the cube.

"No idea," I said looking at him and seeing a worried look on his face, "is she ok?"

"She's scared," said Steve, knowing that I ment Alex, "She can't take jump scares and sudden lights that well."

"Do you want me to have a talk with her? She is your sister and all, but I have the uncanny ability to be able to calm people when I talk to them, and I have no idea about this box at all."

"Sure. You may be able to do some good."

I got up from by the cube and walked over to Alex, who was with Mia and Emma sitting on the bleachers. "Hi girls," I said when I got over to them, "how are you?"

"Emma and I are ok," said Mia looking at Alex with a concerned look on her face, "but I don't think Alex is."

"Are you ok Alex?" I asked, crouching down to look at her face.

No, she signed, I feel like I am having a panic attack.

That's normal, I signed back, that feeling will go away soon.

It's not. I think I need something to drink.

Hang on a minute, I signed as I grabbed my bag, which I had set down and started going through it, until I found one of the two bottles of water I had brought. This may help, I signed as I handed the water to Alex.

Thank you Joey, signed Alex as she started to drink.

"How did you know she wanted some water? Asked Emma as I stood up.

"She told me. She may not be able to speak to strangers, but she can do sign language with ease."

"What she was doing was signing. I thought she was just waving her arms to get rid of energy."

"Not everyone can speak it, but signing is still a language."

"How old are you?" Asked Emma shaking her head, "you look 18, but you sound like you are almost 25."

"I'm actually not even 16," I said, a smile coming over my face as I saw the look on her face, like she didn't believe me, "I come from a family of large size."

"Hey guys!" Called Ryan from where he stood beside the cube, "I think we found out what the orbs and the cube are for!"

"What do you think?" Emma asked as the four of us walked over, "it looks like some type of puzzle."

"The cube is a lock," said Steve, standing up and pulling out his green orb out, "and these are the keys."

"So what, we are supposed to put the orbs in the six holes?" Asked Mia, pulling out her pink orb, "and then what? What will happen then?"

"Only one way to find out," I said pulling out my blue orb and walking over the the cube, "put them in and find out."

With those words I put the orb in the topmost hole, and the cube started shaking. A white disk slid out and covered the orb, and then the top lit up in blue, and the box rotated, revealing another side on top.

"Well, that was odd," I said as I took a step back from the cube, "who's next?"

One at a time, we each put our orbs in, and each time the cube acted the same, until all sides were lit up the same color as the orb put in it. Then the cube started levitating above the ground and started making a low grinding noise, that then started to get louder as it started to flash each of the six colors in it.

"Cover your ears and look away!" I hollered to the others as I looked away and covered my ears and hoped the others did the same. There was then a large shockwave, which sent me across the gym, into a wall, which luckily still had some padding on it. The landing left me sore, but I had no broken bones, and with ringing in my ears, but otherwise I was ok.

I got up and looked around the room, to see everyone had been thrown, but from the looks of it, they had listened to what I had said, because everyone was starting to get up. Everyone, except Alex, who wasn't moving. Steve, upon seeing this, went over to his sister's side to check on her.

"Well, that royally sucked," I said shaking my head to get what was left of the ringing out, "is everyone ok, no broken bones?"

"I'm good," said Mia shaking her head as well, "your right. That royally sucked."

"Alex is hurt!" Called Steve from Alex's side, "it's something with her arm!"

"Let me take a look," I said walking over, "I took a health class this year, so I might be able to help."

I knelt over Alex, who was crying and grasping her right forearm. I gingerly moved her hand and felt her arm. The bone was intact, but from what it felt like, she had pulled a muscle, and from its location, I would have to pull her arm hard to put it back in place.

"Ok, from what it feels like, you pulled a muscle. There is a way to fix it, but it will cause you some pain," I said looking at Alex, who was looking into my face, "do you want me to fix it?"

She nodded, so I took hold of her arm by he shoulder and her elbow, and started twisting to the left. Alex cried out, and then started crying harder, but I ignored it and continued.

"Your hurting her!" Said Steve, grabbing my arm and trying to move me, but I grabbed his hand before he could.

"It's either this or you take her to a emergency room, where they will do you same thing." I said letting go of Steve and going back to work, "it may hurt, but it won't in a moment."

I soon heard a light pop come from Alex's arm and I let go, "there, it's done," I said standing up and turning to see that everyone else was starring at me, "she will be fine now."

"If you ever touch my little sister again," said Steve, going over to Alex, "I will kill you."

"Don't be mad at him," said a small female voice from behind, and turning around, I could see that it was Alex talking, "thank you Joey. You are very kind, even to someone you just met."

"Your welcome," I said, a smile coming over my face, "it's nice to help people, even if their older brothers don't like the way I do it."

"This has been nice and all," said Ryan, who was over by where the cube had been, "but you may want to see this."

"What is it?" I asked, walking over to where he was with Mia following, only to see Ryan holding a stone grey tablet with symbols carved into it.

"I know those symbols," said Mia tasking a closer look at the tablet.

"So do I," I said taking out my phone and taking a picture of the tablet, "the Unown language."

"What's the Unown language?" Asked Ryan, looking at us funny, "I don't know it."

"It's a pokémon language. There is a line of pokémon called the Unown, which look similar to the English language," said Mia, as I pulled up the picture and started decoding the tablet in my head, "all we need is to do is decode it to find out what it says."

"How long will that take?" Emma asked as she walked over from the side of Alex, where she had been talking with the siblings.

"I think I may have it," I said looking up from the picture, "there wasn't much here."

"How is there not much here?" Asked Ryan looking at me oddly, "the whole tablet is covered in symbols?"

"It's the same message, but said many different ways. 'Carve the name of the pokémon God into the back to the tablet.'"

"What's the name of the pokémon God?" Asked Emma, looking at each of us.

"I don't know it," said Mia looking at me, "but you might know it. You know a lot about pokémon."

"I know that the pokémon god is a type shifter, which means he can become any type, and that it's name starts with an A, but I don't know it's exact name," I said shaking my head. If only I knew the name.

"It called Arceus," said Steve as he finally helped Alex off the floor, "the pokémon God's name is Arceus, the creator of all pokémon."

"Ok, so we know the name," said Ryan, flipping the tablet so the side with no symbols was up, "now how do we carve the name in?"

"Can I see the tablet? I asked extending my arm so he could pass me it, "I may be able to help with that."

"Sure, have a go at it," said Ryan handing me the tablet. I pulled out Robert's knife, which had been tucked under my hoodie while in its sheaf, and set it atop the tablet.

"Which way should I carve it, English or Unown?"

"I would think Unown would be right," said Alex, who had been listening this whole time, while looking at the other side with the message on it, "it's how you found the message. If they wanted it in English, then they would of written it that way."

"Good point," I said picking up the knife and started carving. The tablet felt like stone, but when the knife touched it, it acted like it was made of clay, so carving was easy. I soon had the name Arceus carved in the Unown language on the back. As soon as I finished it and put the knife away, the tablet started glowing silver, and then small yellow balls of light started breaking of, till the tablet was gone, and all that was left was the yellow balls, which all started to gather on the wall in a arch pattern, with the bottom being level with the floor.

"That's pretty," said Alex, as we all stared at the arch.

I then heard a humming, that started low, but was growing louder by the second, and as it grew louder, the light balls started flashing. Soon the sound was so loud that I could barley hear myself breathing, and I couldn't look at the lights, so I turned, closed my eyes, and covered my ears and hoped that the others were doing the same thing.

Suddenly, there was a bright flash, and the humming stopped. I open my eyes, only to be blinded by the light. My eyes soon focused, and I saw that there was light blue light coming from where the arch was. I turned around and saw the impossible. Where the arch had been, there was now a blue swirling hole in the wall, which reminded me of a portal, but the real interest was what was in front of the portal.
