Pokemon: Shattered Prism

Chapter Eleven

Delus Town Inn - Delus Town - Odrea Region

I...Isaac

Isaac, Esma and Aiden rented a room together in Delus town. Since the walking had worn them out they thought it would be best to relax for the night and start fresh tomorrow.

Isaac!...

Isaac was sitting on his bed as he turned around thinking someone was behind him. Both Esma and Aiden looked at him confusingly.

"Did you guys here something?" He said checking behind him a second time as they looked at him slightly concerned.

"Are you all right Isaac? You have been acting weird ever since we left Aramai City," Aiden placed a hand on Isaac's shoulder as Isaac rubbed his forehead.

"I have been hearing voices all day. I think something is wrong with Deoxys but I do not know what it could be. "

"Deoxys?" Esma asked.

"Back when we were staying the night in Erdrin Town Isaac had a dream, kind of like a vision of Deoxys alerting him that the pokemon world was in grave danger. Deoxys told him that he had been chosen to put a stop to the people behind the extinction of Pokemon; Team Delta." Esma's jaw dropped as she focused her attention on Isaac.

"Wow so you have been chosen by a legendary pokemon. Well you don't here that every day," She chuckled a bit.

"It's like I can hear Deoxys calling my name but I don't know what-"

"ISAAC!" A loud telekinetic screech resonated from beyond the planes as it made both Esma and Aiden cover their ears and fall to their knees. Isaac fell back in a trance-like state, eyes closed, body motionless. When the sound had disappeared Esma and Aiden rushed to Isaac's aid shaking him trying to wake him up.

"Isaac! Isaac are you okay?!" Aiden began yelling.

"Come on wake up!" Esma added giving him a nudge every now and again but nothing to over the top. The continued to shake him but with no luck he just would not wake up. His body stayed still.

"Where...where am I?' Isaac looked around as he hugged himself and began rubbing his shoulders. Snow was falling from the sky and the buildings surrounding him seemed abandoned. A white silhouette brushed through him pulling him forward a bit, "Hey what the...?" He looked at the figure as It beckoned him to follow it. Not knowing where else to go he followed the silhouette into a large glass building with hallways made up of white metal. Though it was dark in the building every light he had passed seemed to turn on by itself. As he continued to follow the figure he took note of every room they passed.

One room was full of cages all seemed to be brand new but empty. Another room had giant lab tables with all sorts of mechanics that made it painful for Isaac to stare at them any longer. It was then when the silhouette had stopped Isaac in front of a larger room that he started to pay more attention. With dozens of computers and two large glass tanks Isaac walked into the room as the silhouette disappeared leaving Isaac alone in his thoughts. He approached one of the tanks as a large gust of chilly air brushed past his neck giving him a chill down his spine. The building was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Isaac stuck his hand out as he placed it on the glass tank. The moment his hand met the harsh, cold glass images began appearing around him. He saw a holographic image of Deoxys in the tank he was touching with a Charizard in the tank right beside it. Turning his head around he saw one unfamiliar faced but then he quickly saw Giovanni was in the room as well. He could not make out their words, only their gestures. One of the grunts in the room had flipped the switch and Isaac turned around to see a large green light consume both tanks. Once the light show ended he saw Deoxys just as defenseless as ever with a newly formed Charizard...he now knew what Team Delta was doing. However, another large green light had struck Isaac knocking him all the way back to reality practically gasping for air.

"Oh my god, Isaac you had us worried are you okay?!" Aiden said as Esma was hugging him tightly.

"How long was I out?" Isaac asked rubbing his head and pinching the bridge of his nose.

"Five days," An unknown voice emitted from behind the rooms main door. When it opened Eliza would be standing on the other end with a worried yet relieved expression.

"Five days?!" Isaac said unsure of how he could understand such information.

"You are so lucky I was in the area shopping for some goods for the house. I swear I leave you alone for a few weeks and you are in a coma for at least one of them," Eliza walked up to Isaac and hugged him

"Isaac, you have to tell us what happened, I mean you were out for so long I half thought you were dead for a moment," Aiden interjected as both Esma and Eliza nodded their heads agreeing with him about wanting more information on what had happened.

"Honestly... I cannot explain it. I remember hearing the screech and for some reason I fell into a trance. When I had woken up it was like I was in a different part of the region. I saw a giant glass building with white metal hallways. I did not know how to feel. Something was guiding me though. It brought me to this large room where I saw Deoxys having its energy drained as it had been consumed by a Charizard, and once that was done the Charizard went from being a fire type to a water type. Giovanni was there...and so a few other members of team Delta."

"Do you remember anything else? You said Large glass building and giant lab rooms but that doesn't give us enough information," Eliza asked pressing Isaac a bit more.

"It was cold. Snow was falling from the sky. Buildings appeared empty though they weren't." Isaac said.

"Sound's a lot like Pierceston City. People in Pierceston are not exactly the friendliest and tend to stay indoors most of the time. It is cold their year-round as well so by your description I am willing to bet that is where they are holding Deoxys," Aiden responded.

"Well if that's where they are holding Deoxys what are we waiting for!" Isaac tried to get up and instead fell to his knees. He was still weak from being asleep for so long.

"Woah, hold on there. You are in no condition to be marching anywhere. Being asleep for so long without any food will do that to ya. Secondly you are not strong enough to take on an entire army of Delta grunts," Eliza said forcing her brother to sit down.

"I know I am! Deoxys needs us!" Isaac said challenging her. Eliza knew he was frustrated and helpless but she did not want him to strain himself anymore.

"How about this if you can beat me in one Pokemon battle tomorrow I will help you on your journey and travel to Pierceston with you."

"Ok?"

"But if I beat you, you have to train and get your pokemon stronger. Take on a few more gym leaders and then I will help you save Deoxys," Eliza smirked at her brother as her eyes lit up from the fire in his heart.

"You have a deal. But for now, can we get something to eat I am starving," The group all laughed as Esma and Eliza headed to the local market to gather some food for everyone. When they came back everyone had eaten but Isaac was the first to fall asleep. The day had been a stressful one but now is no time to lollygag, decisions had to be made.

Isaac, Esma, Aiden and Eliza all are involved in a mysterious vision that Isaac received from who he thinks to be Deoxys. But what will their journey lead them to if Isaac wins the battle against his sister Gym Leader Eliza tomorrow. All this and more next time on Pokemon Prism!
