Chapter 5

The Protectors

-Bree-

"Before we begin, I'd like for our uninvited guest to make herself known," Professor Ryker said glancing at my hiding spot behind the bookshelf.

I was going to get in so much trouble. I was stupid to follow them. Abbie took me to the Friday night battles and she was challenged to a match. I saw Preston and the others leave with the teacher, as I was going to my room to get my jacket. The entire week, I've been wondering what they have been up to. I couldn't help myself, I mean all the secret things they've been up to, I just had to know.

"Now, now, don't be shy, Ms. Taylor," Ryker gestured for me to join them.

I gulped and gripped the book shelf as I stood up. I tried to avoid eye contact with Preston. Jase, was trying to be polite and wasn't staring at me like Preston and Cress. He acted like nothing happened. I walked forward to the Professor.

"I am glad your here. I need to explain a few things," he said, stroking his Umbreon who came snuck threw the door, "you see, my Umbreon is different. And not because of his looks but of his abilities. He can sense aura. You and the other three boys have similar aura- or should I say special aura. At the beginning of the year Umbreon sensed Preston, Cress, and Jase's aura. They have the aura of the Protectors."

"The protectors?" I asked. This was all very confusing,

"I guess I should give you a history lesson," he chuckled and went on, "long ago, there was a terrible war and many innocent Pokemon were killed. Mew took notice of this and created a beautiful orb. The orb could restore and create life, with this he revived the Pokemon and gave it to a group of warriors, who swore an oath to protect and use the power of the orb for good. The Protectors watched over the Pokemon and people of the region. It was a time of peace. Until, one of the Protectors betrayed the others and tried to take over the kingdom with his army, in which the Protectors resigned in. To prevent the orb from falling into the wrong hands, Mew split the orb into six individual orbs."

"Question, how was that good?" I asked, impatiently.

"You cannot use the power of the orbs unless you can find all of them and fuse them into the signal orb again. As I was saying, soon the traitor was killed in battle from a fellow Protector. Once he died his corrupted soul turned into the Pokemon known as Darkrai."

"Why do I need to know this?"

"Because you are a protector and they are dangerous people after the orbs. They will use the orbs to create and unstoppable army of Pokemon to take over the regions."

My jaw dropped. This is what they were hiding? This couldn't be real, I haven't heard of any of this information. I didn't know Mew created the 'magical' orbs or Darkrai was a lost evil soul.

"This group," Ryker continued, "is known as the Order of Darkness. My father used to teach with the leader of them, Sithis is his name. The Order of Darkness has two orbs and I only have one." He tossed me a blue orb, no bigger than a tennis ball. It was identical to the one in my dream.

"I know this because of a very useful book. Also, from ancient lore, that many have not heard. These boys," he gestured to the others, who surprisingly were silent, "are the last protectors and I must help them stop these crooks, it is there destiny to save the regions and find the orbs. They gladly signed on, what about you? Will you join the Protectors?"

I paused. Everything would be different. I wouldn't be normal. I would forever hold this burden of a secret. I could walk away and try act like nothing happen, while these four fight off evil that threatens this region, or I could be brave and fight along side them.

"I'm in." No turning back.

Author note: so its kind of filler, I don't know it took me awhile to write it. I've been busy with school ending and trying to get some me time in. I created my own origin of Darkrai, was it good? I thought it was okay. So keep reading and vote, comment, and like. I really want to see this book go far. I'm really hoping for a sequel. Bye!! Don't forget to be epic.
