Prologue

"Class is dismissed." Professor Ryker reports to his class. Half of the students bolt out immediately, the other half calmly pick up their things and walk out into the busy hall. Professor Ryker had been teaching Pokemon lore and history for about five years. Though, he got the job at a young age. But teaching was just a day occupation.

Professor Ryker took off his reading glasses and places them in his drawer. He walked over to his book shelf in the back of the room. He took a leather bound book off the top shelf. He walked back to his desk. Under his desk was his sleeping Umbreon. Umbreon had been his loyal friend for many years.

This Umbreon was special because of its usually yellow rings, being blue. It was a shiny. He scratched his partner behind his ears. Umbreon's eyes opens gently. They exchanged smiles for a few seconds then got ready to leave. Umbreon pointed his back to ceiling as he stretched. Professor Ryker put on his jacket and places his leather book inside his jacket pocket.

"Are you ready?" The professor asked his Pokemon.

"Umbre!" Replied his Umbreon.

They walked out the main door of the school quickly. They had to get to their location, before anyone else.

Professor Ryker was crouched behind a hill. He flipped through his book as his Umbreon stood watch. His book was full of notes and ripped out pages of old books. He was looking for something lost in history. He wasn't the only one either.

He signaled for his Umbreon to follow him. They crept through a field and into a grove. In the middle of the grove was a giant tree. It roots were deep and stretched through the forest floor.

Umbreon growled and shifted into a battle stance. Professor Ryker looked up into the tree's leaves. A swarm of Beedrill appeared and swooped down to attack. Their needles glowed and shot small missiles at them.

Pin missile, the professor thought. The pair dodged the attacks, deftly.

"Let's go Umbreon, Night Shade!" Shouted Professor Ryker.

The dark-type Pokemon's rings glowed along with its eyes. The Beedrill were surround by a dark veil and collapsed. After, they dealt with the swarm of bug-type Pokemon, a large brown creature came charging around the tree. It was an Ursaring. It's claws glinted, it was readying for a Metal Claw attack.

Umbreon side stepped out of the way. It looked towards his master, waiting for an order.

"Use Night Slash!" Commanded Professor Ryker.

Dark purple claws formed out of Umbreon's paws and he launched himself at the wild Pokemon. Umbreon slashed at the Ursaring. The bear Pokemon tilted and fell. Professor Ryker returned his companion to his pokeball, so he could rest. He threw another pokeball in the air. A Scyther came out of the capsule and showed off his scythe like hands.

"Scyther, use Cut on those roots." Said Professor Ryker.

The strong bug Pokemon sliced the roots open. Inside, lay a glowing, blue orb. The teacher reached down and picked up the orb gently. He turned around to see a cloaked man with an Alakazam behind him.

A dozen other people in dark uniforms surrounded Professor Ryker.

"Give us the orb, Ryker or else we will have to us unnesescary force." Said the cloaked man with his cold voice.

"Really? Your going to let someone else do you dirty work, then take credit for it? That isn't going to happen, Sithis." Professor Ryker reached behind his back and grabbed another pokeball on his belt. He threw it up in the air.

"Scyther, Metal Sound!" He ordered to his Pokemon.

Scyther put its hands together and scraped one on top of the other. A screeching sound echoed through the forest. The henchman doubled over. Out of the pokeball Professor Ryker threw, an Aerodactyl swooped down and picked his master up. Aerodactyl were extinct but he found a fossil and revived it. It was an Aerodactyl.

The Professor quickly returned his Scyther. He looked back down at the forest. Tomorrow was going to be a long day.
