(This book is a sequel to Shiny; a Pokemon Adventure. You kinda have to read the first book to actually understand this one) Five years have passed since Giratina was pulled back into the reverse world and the Creation Force disbanded. Shinx and Vulpix (now Luxio and Ninetails) thought that their adventures were finally over after they settled back down in Oakgrove after years of travelling. But when they are reunited with an old friend, they realise that this is far from true. Giratina plots from his dimensional prison, of a world where he alone rules. The boys must realise that they are the key to his scheme, and that he will do anything to eliminate them with the powers that he can control. To survive what is coming after them, the boys are thrust back into a whole new adventure, filled with excitement, action and a little romance around every corner. Will they discover the role they play in Giratina's plots and how they can stop him before it's too late? Or will the world fall into tyranny?

They say that the Pokémon are dangerous. Too dangerous to even be controlled by Trainers. But Bethany Jennings doesn't believe them. Many years after the days of Champion Red, the regions were at war for two bloody, destructive years. The regions were then united into a new country under Master Steele. To prevent future wars, Master Steele declared Pokemon too dangerous of weapons to be controlled by the general population. Trainers were required to hand in their Pokemon, and all wilderness areas were fenced off. The only exceptions to the new laws were licensed police officers, who were allowed one Pokemon each. A trainer uprising occurred greater than the war that had just ended. All rebel trainers were killed by their own government and the rebellion was crushed. Ten years after the law banning Pokemon was passed, there was a new law. To discourage the people of the United Regions from handling Pokemon, and to prevent further uprisings by displaying the government’s absolute power, Master Steele created the Games. Every year, each region was to offer a boy and a girl aged 12 to 18 as tributes into the Games. The tributes were then to be placed into an arena with 60 Pokeballs containing untrained Pokemon, and left to fight to the death. The last tribute left standing was to be declared as winner, and they, their family, and their region were to be showered with riches. The day of the reapings for the third Games, Hayley and Bethany Jennings get caught breaking the law. Their choice for punishment is simple: jail time, or getting their name put into the reaping so many times that getting chosen was nearly inevitable. They each see only one viable option, and so the cousins are separated--perhaps for life. Now, Bethany must rely on her intelligence, charm, and knowledge of Pokemon gained from her Dad’s old journals, to survive. Thrown into a game where everything is against her, can she manage to defy the odds and come out of the arena alive?

In the beginning, before even the first prehistoric Pokemon had entered into their place in history, there was type energy, radiating throughout the Pokemon universe in the form of seventeen type plates. And there was also, the energy's vessel, Arceus. With his immense power he channeled the type energy from the 17 plates into the creation of life and when his work concluded, he scattered the plates across the world to be kept under the watchful eyes of guardians whom he granted a small portion of his special power. The guardians are known today as shinies. In the present day, the shinies are still an extremely rare minority amongst the rest of the Pokemon but there are now many more than just seventeen guardians. The other shinies live as normal citizens, just trying to fit in... Until they started to go missing. Silent intruders have began to kidnap shinies, taking them to an unknown location for an unknown cause. When a vulpix and a shinx are born shiny they are snatched from their homes. Only to escape from the villainous clutches of their captors to start anew in the forest village of oakgrove, dreaming of adventure. But little do they realise of the adventure that awaits them, how they must awaken the power bestowed on them by Arceus and realise their destiny in stopping the evil plots of their kidnappers.
