Pokemon-A Legendary Stone (Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald Fan Fiction)

Chapter 22: The Fires of Mt Pyre

Honestly, I really don't think the title really fits this chapter but oh well. I needed to change it and this is the only thing I could change it to. Also, I'm going to try and keep to some of the origonal text since I love it that much and my friend doesn't want me to change it. Also, I use a how to train your dragon quote in this from Hicup. If any of you spot it, you uh...you get a cookie. I don't know. XD  Enjoy! ^.^

-----------------------------------------------------------------

We headed through Route 120 and then reached Route 121. The Safari Zone was supposed to be here, even though I didn't want to go, I still thought it was a great place. Not only did rare Pokemon live there but they were in their natural habitats where they were in a protected place. You were allowed to catch the Pokemon there but you couldn't battle them with your Pokemon. You could only use certain items and that's all.

"Hey Sapphire! Look over there!" Sparkzette said pointing to a dock that lead out to a lake.

On the dock was a group of Team Aqua members. They were all sending out their water type Pokemon or flying type Pokemon like Golbat, Vibrava, Wailmer, Crawdaunt, Starmie, and Quagsire. There were at least twenty-five of them and they looked like they were heading out to Mt Pyre which was in the middle of the lake.

"I think we should follow them," she said jumping off my shoulder.

For a Pokemon so timid she seemed pretty brave right now. We ran down to the dock and I recalled her back to her Poke Ball and sent out Kipz.

"Kipz, we're going after Team Aqua who appear to be heading for Mt Pyre so let's follow them."

"You got it!" he said getting into the water,"Hop on and let's go!"

I got onto his back and he started swimming across the water. We had to keep our distance so we went as slow as possible but not too slow. Eventually a thick fog rolled in and it started to rain lightly so it was hard to see where they were going but then Mt Pyre loomed in the distance so we looked for a place to get off. By the time we found another dock the fog had gotten thick and the rain was falling a bit harder now. Kipz went to the dock and I climbed onto it and recalled him back to his Poke Ball. There was a tunnel that went into the mountain so I walked inside where the air felt damp but at least I was out of the rain.

The tunnel was long and dark so I had to feel my way by putting my hand to the wall. Eventually I saw some light so I quickened my pace and when I got to the end of the tunnel I gasped. The tunnel had opened up to a hugely candle lit room and it was lined with graves. Graves for dead Pokemon. I knew that this was a graveyard for Pokemon but I never expected it to be so sad. There were a few people in the room looking at graves respecting the dead Pokemon who lay to rest here so I went over to one to pay my respects.

The grave read: My dear Charmander. I'm sorry that your life ended this way and I will vow to make sure that the sea won't take the life of any of my other Pokemon again. ~Courtney

I looked at it in shock. Courtney, like maybe as in Team Magma Courtney? No, that couldn't be right, could it? Maybe it was a coincidence, but then again, maybe not.

"Have you come to pay the respects for Pokemon here?"

I turned around to see an old woman.

"Yes and no. I was chasing after a group of people who look like pirates. have you seen them?"

"Yes, I have."

Then she looked at the grave for Charmander and sighed.

"What is it?" I asked.
