We all peered over the dark, mysterious clouds that swirled over a large, vast area that we didn't know of.

Our ascension grew as the clouds darkened the closer we were to
the center.

The center of the dark storm was nowhere in sight.

All of us, still riding on Blazefire, stayed silent, knowing this dark

storm was nothing normal, nothing of what we knew of.

The darkness of the storm withered our ability to stay awake, but I remained standing, not moving a muscle.

"Blazefire! Did you see the center of the storm while you were

scouting earlier?" I yelled, while the wind nearly silenced my

speaking.

"No, not at all. I've been flying for about 8 minutes straight, and I figured we'd be there by now. I might not be the smartest of our group, but I think this storm expands into different regions."

Yelled Blazefire.

I peered once again through the thick, now-purple clouds and

noticed a familiar landmark.

"Blazefire! You won't believe this, but we are in Sinnoh!" I yelled.

"What? We are? Oh man, i don't believe it! After all these years of travelling, we make it here!" Yelled Blazefire.

As the others rested, me and Blazefire remained awake to watch the stunning purple shaded region of Sinnoh and all of its glory pass by as we flew above it.

I then noticed the clouds' rotation get smaller, and with it, The center of it all...

"The altar of origin!" I yelled.

"Wait what!?" Yelled Blazefire.

"It's The altar of origin! The god of all pokemon coincides here!" I yelled.

I then felt the wind get stronger, and Blazefire suddenly twitched

while flying.

"Thunderheart! I'll have to land, I can't fly with passengers or else

you'll all fall, and I'll crash!" Yelled Blazefire.

"Then let's land near it!" I yelled back.

He suddenly dived down towards the ground, then landed gently

on the ground as everyone woke up.

"Woah, those clouds made me drowsy." Said Sundew.

"I don't know what type of clouds those were, but they affected us in ways i couldn't imagine." Said Hayden.

"Next time, could we not go into some weird dark cloud thingie?" Said Silver acting sarcastically.

I got off Blazefire along with the others, also noticing that the altar was now emitting some sort of purple electricity.

"Umm, i don't think that's a good sign..." Said Sundew panicking.

"Come on, we need to go investigate." I said walking towards the altar.

We could only land about a mile away from the altar, so we had to walk even more than we bargained for.

"And... why could we not just land at the front door or

something?" Said Hayden acting tired yet stern.

"Ok, first of all, the altar of origin does not have a simple front

door to it..." I said.

"And two, if i flew any closer, you guys would've been flung off of

me, and then i'd crash." Said Blazefire interrupting me.

"Yeah, what he said..." I said while I was kind of relieved that he finished my sentence.

"Only a few hundred meters until we get there, i guess?" Asked

Hayden, trying to sound stern again.

"For the last time..." I said but then hearing something at the last second.

"Shhh!" I said.

I looked around, then looked at Silver.

"Did you hear a sudden rustle?" I said.

She looked at me in a confused manner, but then, this time

another rustle. We all were on alert.

I looked at a tree noticing something in it, but I didn't know what it was.

Suddenly, a pokemon jumped out of the tree and stared at us

while it was charging an attack.

Without any hesitation, I pushed everyone back, then jumped

over the pokemon and charged my claws with electricity.

The other pokemon suddenly stopped charging their attack.

"Woah, chill! I didn't know who you were! Said the pokemon.

I looked at him, very confused, but uncharged my claws.

"Who are you, and what are you doing here?" I said.

"Oh, well i never had the chance to introduce myself...

I am Inteleon, a spy for some, but a cool guy for most." Said

Inteleon.

"Aren't you from Galar?" I said.

"Yes, but i came here when the storm came. I am an explorer,

along with my group." Said Inteleon.

"Group?" I said in confusion, looking around.

"I can see that you have your own group as well, great...

Umm, come with me..." Said Inteleon.

I turned around to face my group, and they looked at me.

"Come on!" I said.

They then approached me, to follow me.

"Next time, we'll fight with you, Thundy." Said Sundew.

They passed me, and followed Inteleon.

I stood there processing what Sundew said to me.

"Hey! What did i say about calling me that?!!" I yelled, as I heard a small chuckle come from Sundew.

We followed Inteleon to a group of trees that hid something from our sight.

"Guys, i'm back! You can come out now!" Inteleon yelled.

Suddenly, a large group of pokemon emerged from the group of trees.

The group consisted of a Delcatty, a Leafeon, a Dewott, an alolan

Persian, an alolan Ninetales, a Minnccino, an alolan Raichu, and a super rare mix of an Eevee and an Espeon, a shiny Eeveeon.

"Oh my, i couldn't imagine a large group like this!" i said looking at everyone in my group.

"Shall i introduce everyone?" Said Inteleon.

"Sure!" Said me and Silver

Inteleon looked at me, then looked at his group.

"Let's make this quick...

This Delcatty's name is Bella.

This Leafeon's name is Elantra.

This Dewott's name is Yoshi.

This Persian's name is Reggie."

He then took a deep breath...

"This Ninetales' name is Snowcone. This Minccino's name is Azul. This Raichu's name is Jolt, and this shiny Eeveeon's name is Miku, in which, i have never really seen before." Said Inteleon, taking another deep breath.

I stared at him amazed.

"Inteleon, it sounds like you barely know these guys, how so?" Said Silver.

"That's the point! I don't, they came here, just like me and you

guys." Said Inteleon.

"So you are explorers too?" Said Elantra.

"Of course we are! To be honest, who wouldn't be?" Said Sundew.

Then everyone went silent for a bit, so i decided to speak;

"Umm, hi everyone... I'm Thunderheart, and these are the flaming fates..." I said.

They all stood in silence as they all stared at me.

"Are you THE Thunderheart, the one who escaped from the lab a

few years ago?" Said Azul.

"Yes, but why do you only know of who i am because of that?" I

said, confused.

"Everyone knows who you are because of that, but not exactly

what you look like." Said Jolt.

I then stepped back a bit.

"Why am I so known for something so simple... All I wanted was freedom." I said.

The other group stood in silence, as I stared at them in slight
confusion.

Blazefire then decided to step in and ruin the silence.

"Guys! We all came here for a reason! Let's continue making our way to the altar!" Said Blazefire.

I then looked at him in embarrassment, but then Inteleon spoke;

"So you all came to the altar to see what's going on? Us too!

That's why i joined up with this other group!" Said Inteleon.

"Then let's go there together!" Said Silver.

I then looked at Silver.

"No, what if... What if..." I whispered to Silver.

"What if what, Thundy? Come on, for once we have more friends and a true adventure!" She said.

I hesitated for a second, but then I listened to her.

"Fine, but if anything bad happens, then... Then I'll..." I tried to finish my sentence but i couldn't.

"It'll be fine..." She said.

I then decided to move on, and actually go with the new set up.

We approached the altar slowly, and approached the door, and

there we stood. In front of it all...

Ready to go in...
