Morning rolled around over night as Zero began to stir from the harsh sunlight that hit her eyes and caused her to awaken. From her slumber she mumbled a couple words that didn't really make sense from the standpoint of which they were used. She stood up and forgot eevee was with her she was quickly reminded when she heard a surprised Vee sound and a thud. She sighed and picked up her eevee and ran a hand down it's back Apologising. The mythical creature just gave a nod of understanding before hopping onto her shoulder. Eevee gave a soft chirp before hopping up to zero's shoulder. Zero gave a soft sigh and rubbed it's head in which she heard a coo in response.

They heard the many sounds of the forest and the flow of the river. They stepped outside to take a look at the river and saw a man directing a couple people down the river. They waved and she waved back happily. She cooked food for her group Eevee ate happily as she packed up the tent and then ate a small snack for the road.

They began to pack up and Rio after everything was packed began carrying the tent bag on his back as a kind gesture in which Zero greatly appreciated. Halfway down the road hower was a girl who was waiting in ambush who knew of her intentions though. They barely saw it coming but with great Reflex Rio Dodged a beam while holding Zero a large electrical beam coming from some shrubbery was fired at them. A voice said, "Darn I missed time to flee..." They were instantly concerned with their safety but continued on none the less.

They eventually came to a fork in the road and a sign that was barely legible showed the way to pewter city this was once again a trap for our heroes and fall for it they did as they followed the signs directions which would lead them right to their doom, Maybe. So They head down unaware of the doom that truly loomed over them down the road. Along the path they saw many birds flying in the sky and lots of creatures in the trees and shrubbery. They come to a large clearing after about an hour of travel. They become very confused as they see a hooded figure on the edge of the clearing it flees into the trees and leaves. Terrified hoots and noises from the forest surround the clearing in which a now noticable large machine resides. Unbeknown to how it got there.

Zero approaches the large machine and touches it. It gives a small "wrrrrr" sound in response. It turns on and Zero is knocked out as another memory fills her mind...

Memory

It was dark and stormy in the skies now as much more terrifying sights filled our heroes eyes many dead creatures and weird items rested off the trail. She looks both ways before concluding that nothing good would come. She saw the black sludge attack her young form and it fused into her body she fainted soon after and the memory became blurry.

Back to reality

"Zero! Wake up!" Says Rio in worry.

"Ugh... What happened?" Zero would respond.

"You suddenly passed out when you entered the clearing." Rio says.

"Let's continue on then..." Zero says.

They Continue down the pathway that lead out of the clearing the large machine no longer present and it may have possibly been an illusion. They arrived at a gate and a sign reading Welcome to Viridian City. Zero and Rio Stepped into the city when suddenly A Black hooded Figure tried to take eevee. Rio However force palmed the figure right before he managed to grab eevee. The Hooded figure fell to the ground it's hood falling down to reveal a man. The Man had an angry expression on his face and pulled out a large blade and stabbed it into the ground as they are teleported to a distant area. He pulls out the blade in readiness as Rio jumps in front of Zero in defense.

"You shall not harm her!" Rio would say in anger almost unable to comprehend this man's evil intentions.

"I'm not her to harm her, I'm here to capture her, to fulfill my master's plans." The man would say in response to his accusation.

"If you want her you'll have to deal with me!" Rio says as he summons a bone with the air changing slightly.

"Ah, so you must be Rio i've heard about you from my master," the man says to Rio.

"How do you know my name?" Rio asks the man.

"Rio how could you not remember me hmm? i'm your opposite Lyre," says the man as he tears off his robe to reveal a golden body in the same shape as his sword changes to a bone with lightning coursing over it in large arcs. "Enough Talk let's fight Rio, Winner takes all!"

"I must protect Zero..." Rio says as he engages the man in battle

The Battle dragged on for a few minutes as they exchange blows bone striking bone. Bruise after bruise appearing. Rio got the jump on Lyre with a sharp bash to his knee however. Lyre knocked Zero out with a blast of lightning and Eevee had fainted. Lyre began panting and teleported to safety leaving Rio with Zero knocked out as the city returned to view. "I'm Lucky to have won," Rio says as people Look at the lucario who picks the trainer and eevee up to carry them into a medical building.

Hours pass...
