Part 5: The circle's mission, and other things.

*How did you get here! * exclaimed Robert happily.

*Yeah, the last thing I remember is fighting that guy, * Minda said. She then launched a pin missile attack. Marius, caught off guard, was hit several times before responding and putting up a clear shield. He then proceeded to create an energy ball in his right hand/paw. Before he could throw it, a wall formed in between the both of them.

*Settle down kids. * *Much as I would like to see the results of a battle between the two of you, don't you know that we are all friends here? * *Anyhow, it's getting late and even though we don't need it for physical reasons, I suggest we reconvene in the morning after sleeping, * Lisa stated.

*All right, meeting adjoined. We will do the renewal tomorrow, * Michael said.

The great doors opened and a wide assembly of pokémon left the darken room. Oddly, three figures were left in the room. *I don't trust you, * said Minda Etom *Not one bit after the last time. * Marius sent as he teleported out of the room.

*Well this has been a weird day, * murmured Evan. *I'm going to find our pokémon companions. Are you coming? *

*Sure let's find Driller and your eevee. * The two-new/old friends left the room looking for there old pokémon.

They walked/fluttered down a semi-transparent hall, some inner voice guiding them. The walls seemed to be lit from the inside giving the place a dream like feel.

*Why don't you like Marius, that much? * Evan asked.

*Evan, because of him, we lost our human side. We lived almost ten thousand years with part of our souls missing. I won't forgive him until he apologies! * Minda shouted angrily.

*You really would forgive him? * Evan asked again.

*Yes, after all he lost half of his too, * Minda said quietly.

They entered a wide moonlit room and found an astonishing sight. Evan's eevee was facing off against a hypno, while Driller and a magnemite watched. *Luna? * Evan questioned? The eevee glanced at him for one second then back as the battle began.

Luna cut through the pale moonlight like water, dashing forward in a Quick attack. The hypno started to swing his pendulum back and forth, releasing hypnotic waves. They had no effect on Luna, because she didn't look directly at it. She slammed into him with incredible force, doing a quick back flip to land on her feet after impact. The hypno staggered back, holding his stomach. It looked at Luna, than his eyes started to glow a pale blue and a similar glow surrounded Luna.

*Escape this you little fuzz ball, * sneered the Psychic as he unleashed a powerful psychic attack. Luna was thrown back and forth into several of the walls, then painfully into the ceiling. Next, she was allowed to drop very quickly to the ground. *Had enough, *asked the hypno. Luna just staggered up, gave him a look that said I am going to tear you apart, than began to howl at the moon. Suddenly a white light washed over here and she began to change shape. What now stood in the center of the room was a black creature with one gold ring on each of its legs, one gold ring around its long pointy ears, one around its tail, and one on its forehead right above its now red eyes. She had evolved into an umbreon.

*I am not done yet, * Luna whispered then, she vanished into thin air.

The Hypno looked around nervously around the circular pale blue room. He than was slammed into from the side. He flew several feet across the room and before he hit the ground a pursuit attack hit him in the chest throwing him into a wall and unconsciousness. Luna looked at him for a moment, and then trotted over to Even.

*Let's go, * she stated to the stunned jigglypuff. He nodded and followed here out of the room. Driller flew up to Minda and gestured for her to follow him in another direction. She did, only glancing at the hypno who was being taken care of by the magnemite.

*What was that all about? * she asked.

*Leadership and pride, * her companion answered. *It had a lot to do with the fact that I was selected to accompany a focus holder, and one trained Luna. * He showed his left stinger, which had the bug symbol on it. *This appeared when you and that butterfree merged. *

*Oh, could you explain more about the leadership part? * The butterfly pokemon asked.

*No, because here are our rooms. * The bee said.

Minda looked around and noticed a large door with her symbol on it. She turned as her pokémon friend bid her good night and went into his room across the hall. The door opened as soon as she got near it, giving her a good look at her now lit room.

It was roughly square shaped with, a large curtained window taking up one wall. Opposite of the window was another door. On the wall with the entrance, there was a vanity with a mirror, covered with carvings of different bug pokémon. In the center of the room on the opposite wall from Minda was large bed. Minda, feeling more tired then she knew, flew over, moved the sheets with her powers, landed and soon fell asleep. As soon as she did the lights went off in her room.

{Minda's POV} I was in a forest. Behind me lay a cliff from which I could see a city. I was surround by mist and when it became clear a child was in some bushes holding me. I heard the sounds of battle and I felt worry and I felt fear, no, terror. I felt the urge to look down and when I do, I realize that I am a..

Suddenly I am floating in a black void; I looked down and notice I am human again. I look to my left and that butterfree is next to me. She says her name is Etom. Suddenly a strange figure appears. It glows with a strange silver-blue light. I hear the sound of a child laughing. It is a carefree sound full of warmth, innocence and compassion. I reach out to touch it, then..

{End POV} Minda Etom woke up to a face full of sunshine. "What a weird dream," she yawned. She leapt out of bed. She turned looked, into the mirror and noticed that she was human again, dressed in her favorite pajamas. She was so shocked she changed back into a butterfree.

*W-w-what? H-how? * she stuttered. She thought for a moment, and then she stated to glow with a greenish-purple light, like she was evolving. She grew and changed shape. When the light faded a naked little girl in glasses stared into the mirror. "What happened to my clothes?" she yelled in surprise. (Simple, the merge only affected your natural body.) "Ok, miss voice inside my head, what about my glasses?" she asked. "You needed to see, so the power automatically created a perfect pair. In fact you can create clothes out of bug energy. The will act like light armor, which can be repaired after each battle. That way I won't have to buy new clothes constantly. But be warned, Element attacks that you are weak to and strong attacks will shred them as if they are normal clothes.) And with that her outfit from before with her bug catching net reappeared in a greenish purple flash. "That was different. At least I look human again. I better change back for this mornings meeting." She mused.

When she arrived at the meeting hall, she noticed Driller, Luna, that hypno and the magnemite from before sitting in the stands. Also everyone else had just arrived. There were two new seats to the right of Michael; one high back chair made of pure energy and the other one a constantly shifting bubble. On each one sat Marius and Lisa respectively. Once more again, Michael took the floor.

*Ok, on today's agenda Drake will give out search pattern assignments and revitalize are memories. Then we will leave for breakfast, and be on our way. *

*And just what are we looking for? * asked Dawn Shears the scizor.

*Why the Rainbow focus holder. He or she has been born and we need to find them before Kain or anyone else does. Plus there are more groups out there may ally with him or at least get in our way. We will need help to win this time, and we will also go to find that, * said Drake. He took the floor as Michael scampered back into his place.

*The recent dream alerted all focus holders of the new one. Michael, Ebony and Quentin are going to Route 7 in Kanto. I believe the Rainbow focus holder is in that area. Robert, Joslynn, Candice and Kimberly will go to Shamuti Island to find Lugia. * A couple of groans came from the legendary bird trio; the mew just smiled. *Kiersta, Jennifer and Sidney need to go to Ecruteak City in Johto to find Ho-oh. We will need both there help in up coming battle. Leslie, Marius, Phillip need to go to a cave outside of Cerulean city in Kanto. A powerful pokémon is rumored to be in that area.

Minda, Alton and Evan need to get a pokédex. We need a way to access an organization called the pokémon league's computer files. When you get one contact Lisa via telepathic rely. She will be here at crystal palace allowing us to stay in contact with each other. Dawn and I will go to Mt. Sliver. We will check out a hunch of mine.

Finally, Arron and Mimi well go with out resident pokémon information gatherers, the silent searchers. * He looked at the four non-holder pokémon in the stands. *You will go inside of a criminal organization called team rocket and find out if Kain has enlisted their aide. * He began to glow a royal blue so dark it was almost black. A halo of the same flashed out and hit everyone. As the glow died down, He said *That will cause everyone's memory to come fully back after our long period of inactivity. The process will happen gradually than speed up. Starting, now. * Every one fell off their seats in pain as the 10,000 plus years worth of memories rushed back.

*That was gradual? * Robert asked angrily as everyone else just leered at the big dragon.

*Now let's have breakfast! * The dragon cheerfully said. Everyone got back into his or her respective seats, and this time Kimberly started to glow. The whole room seemed to distort and change shape. Everyone found them selves in front of different tables still in their seats. On each table there was different plates and bowls filled with different foods. Everyone dug in.

While Minda was drinking a bowl of maple syrup, Marius walked up to her eating an apple. She put her bowl down we spoke to her.

*Sorry about last nights threat. * He said *I now remember why you are so mad at me.

Minda looked at him and said *Ok, I was wrong to attack you, and all is forgiven. Friends? *

*Friends, * He said than smiled.

*That touches me, * Alton said to Mimi who wasn't eating anything, due to she was dead.

She looked at him and said *Does it? * She than when back to starring into space. He turned and just looked at his food. His appetite was gone now that he was totally creeped out. He didn't see her smile.

Elsewhere, a dark figure watched a strange glowing crystal from its shadowy throne. Three huge forms walked in the shadows behind it. "You three go to route 7 and kill/retrieve this target." It sent the information on the target directly into their minds. "Do not fail. I will take care of the rest." "NOW GO!" it yelled. The three forms vanished. It began to laugh, a soulless demented laugh.

The building loomed over the surrounding forest. Inside tens of hundreds of Rockets rushed about. And in a meeting room deep with in the headquarters the top team rocket executives had just finished giving their annual reports.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it has come to my attention that a singular opportunity has arrived for our organization. Even though it is in Kanto I have assigned it to our Red Shirt branch headed by Meyer and Lansky." Two figures walked into that room: the two most ruthless, cruel, and deadly rocket executives. Meyer is a serious and professional man who is 28 yrs. old, with long dark-green hair that reaches his waist. Two long stands come down on each side of his face. He has deep black eyes and is dressed in a dark blue dress coat with a red shirt underneath and a blood red pin on ride side. He is dressed in Dark blue slacks with black boots. His partner, Landsky, is a young woman, who is also 28 yrs. old. She is wearing a dark blue vest with a red long sleeve shirt under it. She has on a dark blue, thigh length mini-skirt, knee long, dark blue boots and a red pin like her partner. Her brown eyes danced with an inner light. Her brown hair was in two ponytails with reached down to her mid-back.

"Giovanni sir, based on the intelligence report, we have found someone in the Viridian area who knows the location of one of the legendary pokémon we seek. Lansky and I will personally attend to this matter."

"Good, I will expect the usual results," responded the Team Rocket boss. The two took their leave, and when they did the room relaxed. The only one who wasn't completely terrified of the two was Giovanni, and even he was nervous in their presence.

As three groups were leaving, on different missions, a figure stood on a hill over looking Saffron City. He was a 13-year-old boy with blue spiky hair and brown eyes. He was wearing a green and white long sleeve shirt, with six poke balls on it, blue jeans and black hi-tops. And this young boy named Jenson Decorous was to be one of the major players in the drama to come.
