(most people are at the circus, as for my guys, Serilay is at the circus, Zac is unconcious, and Calfrun is on an entirely different mission to steal anything of signifigance from Magma's base to aid in Phoenix's comeback, as well as to hinder Magma's recovery as much as possible)

Irene winked back at Usteph before the lights went dim and a mist rolled in. It settled over the ring she was to perform in, and Irene waited for her cue in the eerie music that began to play. She stepped out, on beat with the music, and slowly made her way to the ring. She placed one hand on her hip and held her other arm up to coax the audience to cheer for her. She made her way to the center and slowly bent forward, raising her leg behind her until is touched the floor infront of her. She had placed her hands on the floor and lifted her other leg up to follow the one before it.She twisted her back to move her body to her side, and lifted one arm. She stretched out a hand to the audience and gently began to move her pointer finger, as if coaxing someone to come to her.
A load hiss erupted, and a few audience members screamed as a Seviper burst out from under the seats and lunged through the audience. It made its way to the ring and slithered through the mist. It came to Irene and circled itself around her flexible body. She strained to hold its weight but didn't show any sign of weakness to the audience. She waved her hand to gesture to Lady K, the Seviper, and the audience cheered.
Irene untangled herself, and Lady K slithered away unseen in the mist. Irene stood up straight and gracefully unfolded her arms to her sides and stretched them out in a graceful pose. A sudden noise could be heard. It almost sounded like whales singing, but smoother and more musical. Irene held her ground as a Milotic suddenly burst our of the mist behind her. The crowd gasped and Ginger, the Milotic, bowed her head. Irene wrapped her arms around its neck and allowed it to lift her onto its back. Ginger folded herself to look like waves, and Irene followed her motions by twisting her own body in a similar manner. Irene then folded herself tightly, almost in a way that could not be unfolded, and let Ginger toss her into the air. Irene flipped for a bit before falling downwards, still turning. Just when it seemed she was stuck, her arms and legs burst out to her sides, and Ginger catches her on her head. Irene lands on her leg, twisting her waist and nearly turning herself all the way to bend forwards and wrap her other lag around her waist. She looked, upsidedown, and the audience and smiled. They cheered, and Ginger lowered herself into the mist, carrying Irene out of the ring.

Wes stood outside Hivelum's main gate. Something had seemed to draw him out there. He had had Baylee stay in the Pokemon Center, it felt like he need to be alone. He sat down on a rock. A stream floated lazily bye and Pokemon could be heard rustling along nearby. It seemed to be beyond peaceful at that moment. Like a calm before the storm. A roar resonated nearby and a Archanine and a Electebuzz crashed through the foliage. Archanine released a flamethrower and collided with Electebuzz. The electric pokemon flew through the air and nearly crashed into Wes. Just before any harm could be done to the trainer a golden serpent soared into Electebuzz rocketing it into the stream. The serpent roared and used Twister sending the two battlers into the distance.
"Damn I wanted that Archanine. But anyways thank you." Wes said admiring the golden dragon. "Wait....I've never seen your type before." He pulled out his recently acquired Pokedex and scanned the dragon.
"Unknown Pokemon." The red computerized voice stated.
"Fine I'll name this species Lithnin. Yes a good name." Wes laughed and the newly dubbed Lithnin chuckled along sending volts into Wes shocking him. "Oh...an electric type..." He threw a pokeball at the huge dragon, the ball opened and it turned into red energy shaking three times then locking.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Above the two sat the ruler of the wild. Watching Wes waiting to see what type of trainer he was.

Bob took many walks, meandering usually in front of the Pokemon Center to meet new trainers on their way to the next town; today, however, Bob had a purpose. The Circus was in town, and despite his preparations, was terribly late. Bob walked outside his home and towards the Pokemon Center, only to see a man dive from the skies...on a Farfetch'd.
"Well, I guess that's better than Flying on a Dodrio," Bob thought. This stranger was very curious, not so much in the way he looked but by his air. Despite the relaxed demeanor of the bird, the trainer hastily checked its condition, spreading its wings and patting its back, looking for possible injuries. Bob decided to interject. "I know that Farfetch'd may seem a little small, but he looks fine. He got you here from the sky safely, right?"
The trainer jumped, having been completely unaware of Bob. He straightened himself up, dusting the dirt from his knees and pushing his glasses up his nose. "True, but I have to make sure," stuttered the kid.
"Well aren't you the thoughtful trainer? Hi, I'm Bob. And who may you be?" Bob presented his hand to the kid, who was now taking a Buizel out of his backpack.
"I'm Asaph." He awkwardly grabbed Bob's hand, shaking it so quickly that the Buizel on his left arm started to bounce. "This Buizel here is Rocket, and my Farfetch'd is Alum." Bob finally noticed the cloth wrapped around Rocket's head. covering the Buizel's left eye. It's scar seemed old, yet still held the ferocity of the blow that dealt it. Bob tried not to concentrate on the weasel, but his curiousity overwhelmed him.
Asaph followed Bob's eyes and sighed, intuitively responding "It's a long story. Anyways, do you know if there are any Gyms around here?"
Bob was taken aback but quickly recovered, a tad disappointed in his rude behavior. "Um, I do not know, for I am no trainer, but if it interests you, there is a Circus in town. I'm actually on my way. Do you want to come?"
Asaph glanced at both of his Pokemon, both of whom seemed eager to witness the spectacles. "Why not? Besides, these guys need to rest after our journey. The port is not a stone's throw away, you know."
"Alright, let's go."

"Wonderful, wonderful," Daylyn walked out to center ring as Irene exited. "Isn't she excellent!" Another round of applause roared to life. "Now, now," he continued once everyone settle down, "I know why you're all here. Yes, that's correct, the time is upon us!" He raised his hands in grandeur and the lights dimmed. Everyone gasped. In the pitch-blackness, a dim light took center stage.
"I present to you, a feast for your eyes to see." The light grew brighter and began to take on a form. Alianna watched, completely enthralled by the show; Peter was also on the edge of his seat, but for an entirely different reason.
"Get ready," Yolanda hissed over her shoulder.
"The one!" The light flashed red. "The only!" Blue. "The legendary," the light pulsated, alternating between hot red, and cool blue. "LEAMNIN!" The light intensified enough to blind the audience. A great lion-esque Pokémon appeared in the center of the circus, brilliant fire coat, and sparkling ice mane. Everyone stood up and cheered. Leamnin glanced around, obviously understanding. It wouldn't have been here if it didn't want too.
In fact, Daylyn originally had refused to put Leamnin on show, but at Leamnin's urging, he consented.
Leamnin roared again, and a ring of ice crystals shot out of the ground. Inside burned a fire. The crowd cheered again.
"Now!" Yolanda jumped to her feet and punched a fist in the air. The lights fell dim again. Everyone gasped. Peter also leapt to his feet, but what could he do? The top of the tent split wide, and a net fell on Leamnin. A special net. A Shadow-Snag net. Not even Leamnin could break it. The net closed around the beast and lifted it up into the air, where a waiting airship was station.
"Let's go, Eric!"

Zac stood. He was in the longue in the Team Magma base. He must have been knocked unconscious by that empoleon. He noticed that it was gone. He opened the door to the room, and took a step back, startled. The hallway was littered with the bodies of guards, either unconscious or dead, who had large claw marks and footprints on their bodies.
"Damn Phoenix..." He mumbled. "They always make such a mess of everything..." He stumbled down the hall to their research and development wing. Entering, he saw that it was in an even greater state of disarray. Machines were destroyed, either in pieces or having been shorted by a large surge of water that appeared to have moved through the room.
In here, there were serveral collapsed pokemon laying around, as well as more guards. Medics attended to them, and Zac took inventory of their equiptment. There was something missing...
A small power generator. This device used a new type of power that Magma had developed to power some of their machines. If Phoenix managed to expand upon this technology, they could not only easily power their base of operations, but something... more.
Zac was sure that Phoenix had more in mind than keeping their lights on, but what could it be? He turned, and saw something on the wall. There was spraypaint that read:
EX CINIS CINERIS

"So, Asaph, how did your Buizel get that scar?" Bob had run through all small talk and needed more personal information to repel silence.
Asaph was noticeably uncomfortable, but reconciled with himself after holding his Buizel for a while, trying to fight buried memories. I can still see that sadistic trainer, and that Scizor. With one hit my fresh weasel fell. My Buizel had fainted! There was no reason to continue the battle! No reason...to try and kill it! It was weak because it was new! "Um, Rocket got in a battle with a Pokemon a little too fierce for its skills at the time." Rocket painted an expression that was more than anger, but what that extra dimension was Bob could not discern.
"I'm sorry. Well at least the Dome should be right around the...Adamant Arceus, what is that thing!" Bob nearly fell at the sight of the plane near the Circus.
Asaph immediately changed. "Something isn't right here. Alum, return! Go, Leah [Houndoom], and Rocket, get ready!" Asaph, alongside his companions, bolted towards the Dome.
"I'm right behind you kid! Go, Gaius!" exclaimed Bob, reachign for the Pokeball that had not been there for 17 years. You coward "I should probably call the police."
*Houndoom name has been changed, and ergo its gender as well.

Wes who had been excited about discovering a new pokemon species, instantly fell back into his odd mood. He remembered exactly why he had felt the need to be alone.
"One more year, Mother." He began to fiddle with the loose dirt under him. "I miss you. And I feel like its my fault." He revealed, never having voiced this before. "If I hadn't been in the Temple that day....You wouldn't have...." He began to weep. The ground shook violently. Cracks ripped through the stream and under Wes.
"What?" Suddenly the ground opened up and he fell in, and down a tube of smooth rock. After what seemed an eternity he fell into a massive room. "Where am I?"
Light filled the room, blinding him for a moment. What he saw seemed to familiar. "This is almost an exact replica of the Temple's secret..." Before him sat carvings of every Legendary known and Unknown. Some that weren't even in existence anymore...or yet. He moved past the rows of trio Legendarys to the strongest of each region. Each used precious metals or gems to color that statues. If Wes was right....then each statue held an egg of the Legendary. It would only hatch once the Legendary died. Behind the row with Rayquaza, Leamin, and Arceus stood an alter with a crystal necklace. It was described in the Snowpoint Temple's secret room but he always wondered where it was. Wes picked up the necklace.
"So....I'm the one...."

"Damn! Why is 911 busy? Let me try 53669..." Bob frantically hopped in place, wishing with all his might that the army of one lady would answer.
"Officer Jenny here, may I ask what is wrong?"
Bob felt a sudden pain in his head, followed by a voice quite unfamiliar to him, a voice that overpowered him and spoke through him. "Why will nobody post anything anymore? Robert wants to know more about what is going on in the Circus before he randomly does something like attack the Air Sh....augh! What was that!" Bob felt the grip of the stranger no more.
"Um, sir?"
"Sorry about that, I have no idea what came over me. O yea, there is a suspicious airplane flying outside the Circus, from which people are fleeing and screaming."
"We will have officers over immediately."
----
"Leah, Fire Blast the airship!" Asaph barked, pointed at what looked like the Cockpit. Leah's kanji shaped flames hit the plane spot-on, with a surprisingly absent amount of damage to the plane. Asaph and his Pokemon gaped in disbelief, having seen Leah's Fire Blasts decimate the planes from the junk yard during training.
"Leah, return." I'm going to need someone with a bigger bang. "I choose you, Phibeus!" Out from the Ultra Ball came Phibeus, flapping its crimson wings in preparation for battle. "You ready to try out that Draco Meteor we practice?" Phibeus seemed pleased and soared towards the airship, eyes glowing red as a multitudinous orb glowed in its mouth.

"What the hell?" Yolanda glanced upward to see a Fire Blast hit the airship. It stayed aloft, but she suspected more was on the way. Without consulting Eric, she yelled into her communicator, "Send out Weapon XD142!"
The sound of a Poké Ball opening echoed all the way down to the circus floor, but instead of the usual white light following, a strange purple light spread out. An Aerodactyl formed int the air, but not a normal Aerodactyl; this one had a purple and black hide, and its eyes were a deep blue. A Shadow Aerodactyl created from stolen Cipher technology, and perfected recently.
Her admiration was cut short by a sharp pecking on her head. She slipped on the rope and fell back to the ground. The Natu skittered away to its trainer.
"You're not taking Leamnin," Peter declared.
"Oh? Is that so?" Yolanda dusted herself, containing her anger. "And, I suppose...you're going to stop me?"
"Uh... well..." That was the plan he counted on, but now that he was here...
Cerberus materialized at her side. No matter what, Yolanda had refused to corrupt her own Pokémon team. Soren and Leonardo [Natu and Smeagle] cowered. "That's what I thought."
"I'll stop you!" Aliana appeared from nowhere, Syk [Skarmory] at her side.
"Hmph." Yolanda grimaced.

Squiggly lunged out from behind her at the theives.

"What!" Asaph gasped at what seemed like an Aerodactyl flying from the airplane. "Alright, Phibeus, Draco Meteor!" The Salamence aimed for the peculiar Pokemon, which deftly evaded the blow (Sorry if you were supposed to react). What is he uses a Rock attack? Phibeus will be toast, unless... "Phibeus!" Asaph roared, hoping that his words would travel to the sky. "Use your Hydro Pump!"
Asaph has spirit, but I don't think he realizes how much faster Aerodactyl is than Salamence. I pray he uses his head. With his thoughts came the roar of a beast left buried for 17 years, the lust for issuing attacks filled his blood. "I have to get Paul over here."

"Ram that airship!" Wes roared. Aero followed and slowly began to glow blue. Just as they were engulfed in the blue aura they collided with the ship's hull. For a moment they didn't move, but the metal ripped and they found them self in a room with the Legendary Pokemon Leamin.
