Pokemon & Splatoon: The Crossover Series

Chapter 25: Night of the Unown

In a given room at the Pokemon Center, our heroes were resting for the night while Friede and Orla were pulling an all-nighter at the Tin and Brass Towers.

Ash was scrolling down on his Rotom phone, trying to decide his next opponent. "Hey, I found two trainers that seem to be the best choices for my next battle."

"Really? What region are we heading to this time?" Asked Marie.

"Tomorrow, we're going to the Hoenn Region. I can challenge this kid named Wally, ranked 921, or this performer named Lisia, ranked 922."

"Performer?" Callie said curiously.

"Oh yeah, some regions do these things called Pokemon Contests or Pokemon Showcases, where a performer can show the talents that can come from their Pokemon."

"Really? I want to see some of these performances!"

"The sooner we head to Hoenn, the sooner you'll get to see one of these performances. So let's get some sleep so we can leave early."

Soon, everyone fell asleep. As they slept, Gengar was watching through the window, still having some interest in these people. It still feels this vibe or energy coming from the boy he witnessed battle earlier and the pink girl that doesn't seem to resemble a human. It's an energy that Gengar is not picking up in anyone else.

(Ruins of Alph)

Not too far from Ecruteak City, the Explorers were searching the Ruins of Alph for the Dread Orb. Right now, Amethio was staring at a wall with ancient letters on it.

"Of course, there is an ancient seal guarding the orb." Amethio said as he touched the wall.

"So, how do we break some ancient seal that we know nothing about?" Asked Coral.

Amethio takes out Ceruledge from its Pokeball and makes a move without hesitation. "Ceruledge, use Shadow Claw!"

Ceruledge strikes the wall with its blades of phantom energy. After doing that, the letters on the wall came to life and popped out the wall.

"What are these things?!" Shouted Cordelia.

"Their Unown! A bunch of weird sticks with eyes!" Shouted Corol.

After all the Unown disappeared from the wall, the whole wall collapsed to reveal an undiscovered chamber. Inside the chamber was a pedestal holding the Dread Orb.

"At long last." Amethio said as he approached the pedestal. He reaches over and grabs the orb. "Mission accomplished. Contact HQ for an extraction."

"What about all those creepy Unown that we just released?" Asked Coral.

"That is not our concern. Our main priority is to take the orb back to HQ."

"Alrighty then."

The Explorers made their way out of the ruins to wait for their ride to HQ. What they didn't notice was that the Unown they released are making their way to Ecruteak City.

In a beautiful sunny day like this, you would expect a child to go out and play or play with others, but Callie was here, holding a roller, when she was only seven years old.

"Come on, give that dummy everything you got!" Ordered her grandfather.

Callie gave a little swing at the balloon dummy in front of her. It was now covered slightly in pink ink.

"You call that a swing! Try harder!"

Callie tried to swing harder, covering the dummy in more ink. She was starting to get tired.
