Chapter 14: The Mysterious Temple

Andy and Jason were travelling together around the mountains by the Rock Tunnel. “Hey, I think I know where we are.” Said Jason.
“Where?” asked Andy.
“You have to promise not to tell anyone about this.” Jason said.
“I promise!” said Andy.
“… This is the gate to the 2nd Dimension. Some say that was the great Jungle where the “Adam & Eve” of Pokemon, Mew, was from.”
“Wow…” responded Andy.
“Hey, look!” said Jason, pointing at a strange indent in the rocked hill. The two ran towards it. “Look at this description! “He who possesses the 2nd of the Cats, have high Magical Prowess, and a wicked heart, can access beyond the gate.”
“Oh my goodness!” responded Andy.
“We cannot tell anyone about this Andy.” Jason said. “Swear on your mother’s life, that you not tell anyone where this temple is.”
“I swear it, I swear it!” Andy responded. Jason had a wicked stare in his eyes, and the two started to conceal the indent with large rocks.

Chapter 13: The Four Stats

Jake was heading south of Cerulean, having exploring the upper side of the city outskirts. He captured a Venonat while he was there. It was about 4:30 PM, and in the summer, there was a lot more day to go, giving Jake plenty of time to explore. Going through the grass, he discovered a Pokemon. It was unlike any Pokemon he has ever seen! He used his Pokedex, and the Pokemon was classified as “Steelkat.” It had a brown body, and metal plates around its ferocious face, and had metal claws, legs and tail.
“Rrrrooorrrww…” said Steelkat.
“Aaaaaahhh!” said Jake, “Go Pikablu!” Pikablu was released from its Pokeball. “Quick Pikablu, use Water Gun!”
Pikablu shot out a stream of water, and it damaged the Normal/Steel type Pokemon. Suddenly, Steelkat jumped and mauled Pikablu’s face, scratch marks appearing on its cheeks. “Pikablu!!!” said Jake, “Use Thundershock!” Pikablu successfully attacked Steelkat with a Thundershock. The Steelkat fainted, and dissolved into the ground. “Well that was a close one. Are you alright Pikablu?” Jake asked while picking Pikablu up with a Super Potion. Pikablu’s face was healed.

It was now dusk, and Jake heard a scream coming from the bushes. He went to investigate. He saw a red-haired 13-year old girl with a towel around her body. She was holding a baseball bat and had an angry look on her face. “Don’t play dumb with me Ash, I know you were spying on me as I was bathing!” she screamed to a boy, evidently the great and famous Ash Ketchum, from Pallet Town, and don’t you fucking forget it. I mean, this kid tells this to EVERYBODY! I’m sure most of these people don’t even know where Pallet Town is, but we’re getting off track here.
“But Misty, I didn’t, honest!” responded Ash. “It was this crazy doppelganger of mine. Pikachu has one too!”
“I don’t believe it moron!” Misty yelled.
“Hey!” interrupted Jake. “Now look, I think both of you should just grow up. Misty, stop bitching at Ash all the time. Ash, stop being an idiot.”
“… Yes sir.” Said Misty and Ash in unison, feeling patronized.
“Wow, I’ve never seen those two act like this.” Said a colored Chinese, most probably Brock, the gym leader of Pewter City.
“You know Ash, I think your problem is, you have low stats.” Jake said. “Stats, there are four of them. First is Fighters Promise, this is essentially how determined and serious you are with becoming a better trainer. Second is Psychic Ability, this is what determines how good you can control Psychic Pokemon. Next, is Awareness, this determines how quick you are to spot Pokemon, and people in need. Finally, Endurance, you know, your stamina. Basically how long you can handle exploring.” Ash, Misty & Brock seemed confused and lost.
“So what does this all mean?” asked Misty, evidently not noticing she doesn’t even know the guys name.
“I get the feeling Ash’s problem is he’s not a serious trainer.” Jake answered.
“That’s not true! I’m a great trainer!” Ash explained loudly.
“Do you even capture Pokemon Ash?” Jake asked. “You cannot be a good trainer without capturing Pokemon.” Ash looked down, but continued to listen. “How many Pokemon have you captured?” Jake asked.
“Just two…” answered Ash.
“TWO?” Jake retorted, “You’re already past Cerulean City, and you only caught two? I have five!”
“Not even a full team? Yeah, that’s a lot to brag about.” Brock whispered into Misty’s ears, and Misty giggling.
“You know what? I think you just need encouragement.” Jake suggested, “Just about an hour ago, I ran into a Pokemon I never even heard of!”
“Really? What?” asked Ash.
“A Steelkat!” Jake answered.
“Wow! I gotta catch one!” Ash darted off into the darkness. “Heeeeeeeeeere Steelkat, Steelkat, Steelkat, niiiiiiiice Steelkat!” his voice screamed from the distance.
“Rrrrrrrrooooooorwwwwww!” an aggressive roar sounded the air.
“Yyyyaaaaaaaahhhh!” screamed Ash, and scratching noises emitted from the darkness. Ash walked back into the camp. “Mom…my!” Ash fainted with a thud.
“… Ash.” Said Jake. “That’s NOT the way to capture Pokemon.”
“Yeah, that is definitely not the way to capture Pokemon.” Said Brock, feeling embarrassed to have witnessed this.
“I’m sure it can’t be that hard to figure out.” Jake said. “Only you can raise your Fighters Promise.” Ash, Misty & Brock seemed to understand. “Now, I must go. Sorry for being condescending, but it’s for your best Ash. I hope next time I see you, you’re a lot better at being a trainer.” Jake walked off and vanished in the darkness.
“Wait! What is your name!?” all three asked in Unison. There was no response.

Chapter 12: Marble's Mission

With Bill to his side, and Meaky held in his arms, Marble casually explored the shoreline about 10 miles east of Cerulean City. His new Gyarados had been a tremendous asset to his ambition, defeating the Three Sisters of the Cerulean Gym without problem.
“Wasn’t Gyarados great Meaky?” Marble asked his Magikarp. “Soon, you’ll be just as powerful!”
“Ka-aaarp! Koikoi!” responded an eager Meaky.
“Psy? … “PSYDUCK DUCK DUCK!” said Bill, who ran off to just about 20 feet away.
“Bill, what do you see?” asked Marble, who started to catch up to his Psyduck and witnessing what had gotten his Pokemon’s attention. A bloody, battered blue Serpent Pokemon laid in the sand, coiled similarly to a human fetal position. “Oh my goodness, you poor thing.” Said Marble in response to this discovery. He took out his Pokedex, and identified the Pokemon as a Dratini, a part of the only Dragon-Type Pokemon Family that exists. “Are you alright Dratini? Don’t worry, I’m here to take care of you.”
“Tiiii-ni.” The Dratini said weakly.
“There, there now, everything will be okay now.” Responded Marble, taking out a Super Potion and an Iron Vitamin. He sprayed, and rubbed the Super Potion on the Dratini’s scaly, long body, cleaning off the blood and healing the Pokemon. “Take this too, it will help your stamina.” Marble said, giving Dratini the Iron Vitamin to drink. After ten minutes had past, Dratini was back to normal, and very happy Marble was there to rescue it. “Who did this to you?” Marble asked.
“Ti-ni, Ti-ni, Draaaaa-tini.” Said Dratini who slithered through the sand and attempting to draw out in the sand what happened. Apparently this Dratini was the child of a family of Dratini & Dragonair. Dratini had also drawn out a shape of a cat’s head, with evil eyes, and its evil energy snaring the family of Dragonair & Dratini. “Tii-iii-ni! Dratini…” Dratini ended looking down.
“Your family has been kidnapped?” Marble asked
“Dratini! Dratini!” Dratini answered positively. The Serpent Pokemon slithered through the sand further, again drawing the cat’s head, and a lone Dratini being attacked by the cat.
“This is terrible.” Said Marble. “… Well, I want to help your family! Join me, and I will help you find your missing family, and stop what did this to you.”
“Tini!” said Dratini with anticipation in its eyes.
“Alright, Pokeball, GO!” said Marble, throwing a Pokeball. The Pokeball shook, but eventually stood stationary, indicating Marble had captured Dratini. Marble picked up the Pokeball and released his new Dratini.
“Dratini!” said the Pokemon. Marble picked Dratini up and cradled its long body in his arms.
“It is my mission to get whoever did this to you, and to rescue your family.” Marble said with gumption. “I won’t let you down Dratini!”
“Tiiii-ni!” the Dratini happily responded. Little did Marble and Dratini know, a figure was watching them. The figure stood up, and mounted his Ponyta.
“Let’s go!” the figure said, and Ponyta neighed and galloped off into the distance.

Chapter 11: Alex

In front of Jake stood a tall, purple haired man. His glasses reflect light in front of his cruel eyes. He looks somewhat familiar to Jake. “Yes, I am Alex, and I am your rival!” said Alex, as if he was reading Jake’s thoughts. “You & I are to have a Pokemon Battle now, got it?”
“Sure, I’ll take you on!” said a confident Jake.

Alex sends out Gastly. Jake sends out Pikablu. Gastly uses Night Shade. Pikablu takes Damage of 10. Pikablu uses Thunder Shock. Gastly takes damage of 20. Gastly uses Hypnosis. Pikablu falls asleep. Pikablu is asleep. Gastly uses Dream Eater. Pikablu takes damage of 10. Gastly leeches 10 HP. Pikablu is recalled. Go Beedrill! Beedrill uses Poison Sting. Critical! Gastly takes damage of 11. Gastly faints! Alex sends out Kadabra. Return Beedrill. Go Clefairy! Kadabra uses Confusion. Clefairy takes damage of 14. Clefairy uses Sing! Clefairy sang a beautiful song, but its attack did not affect Kadabra. Alex smiled and chuckled. “You’d be surprised at how things work in THIS Universe.” Alex said as he pointed to Kadabra’s ears. Inside, Alex has wedged cotton balls into Kadabra’s ears to prevent sound-based attacks from effecting it. Clefairy, return! Go Paras! Kadabra uses confusion. Paras takes damage of 8. “Paras! Use Scratch, and AIM FOR THE EARS!” Jake commanded. Paras used Scratch. Critical! Kadabra takes damage of 15! A cotton ball falls onto the ground from the ear Paras successfully used Scratch on. “Paras! Quick, eat the cotton ball!” Paras grabbed the cotton ball and popped it into his mouth. Return Paras! Go Clefairy! Clefairy! Use Sing! Clefairy once again sang its lullaby. Kadabra attempted to plug its ear with its finger, but it didn’t do it in time, and fell asleep. “All right!” said Jake. “Now use Pound!” he ordered to Clefairy. Clefairy used Pound. Kadabra takes damage of 7. Kadabra woke up! “Kadabra, use Confusion!” commanded Alex. Kadabra uses Confusion. Critical Hit! Clefairy takes damage of 19! Clefairy faints! Go Beedrill! Beedrill uses Twineedle! Critical Hit! Kadabra takes damage of 10! Kadabra faints! Jake is the winner!

“Hmm, so you are one of my rivals?” said Alex in a passive tone. “You’re pathetic, and I get the feeling the others are too.”
“I am not pathetic and neither are my Pokemon!” retorted Jake.
“Let me just tell you this.” Said Alex. “Don’t be deceived. Something terrible is going on in the Pokemon World. The Balance of good & evil is out of synch. I am living proof of that.” Alex walked away and vanished in the sunset.

Jake walked down the path well lit by the full moon that night, it was almost time to set up camp. He pulled out his sleeping bag, and let his four Pokemon out for some hot chocolate. “You guys did really well today.” Said Jake.
“Pi-ka!” said Pikablu.
“Bzz.” Responded Beedrill.
“Clefairy!” said Clefairy.
“Parasssss.” Said Paras.
Jake closed his eyes and tried to drift off to sleep, wondering what Alex meant by him being “Living Proof.”

Chapter 10: The J Names

Jake was at the Cerulean City Pokemon Center, resting after the tough climb over Mount Moon. While at Mount Moon, he came across a damaged chamber, and rescued a poor, trapped Clefairy. Showing gratitude for taking it to the Mt. Moon Pokemon Center, the Clefairy allowed Jake to capture it. He also captured a Paras while exploring the caves. Sitting in the lounge, Jake released Kakuna out of its Pokeball. “All right Kakuna, are you ready?” asked Jake.
“Kooooo-na!” answered an eager Kakuna.
“Here we go!” Jake took out a Blue Candy-shaped item, and Kakuna started to evolve. After glowing and shining for some time, Kakuna’s evolution had completed, and it was now a Beedrill!
“All right!” Jake said with pure excitement. “You’re now fully evolved!”
“Bzzzz-drill!” said Beedrill.

Jake decided to check out the sights. It was the time of year for Spring Break, so a lot of tourists roamed the streets. The beach was crowded with young adults and the roads were covered in cigarette butts and ashes, traffic was also pretty bad.
“Heeey! Jake!” said a voice in the near distance. It was Adam, and he was accompanied by two other trainers.
“Hi Adam, what’s up?” asked Jake.
“My Charmander just evolved a few days ago, and other stuff. I’d like you to meet Andy, and my good friend Jason.”
“Hi Andy & Jason. Are you guys trainers too?” asked Jake.
“Yeah, I just started a week ago with my baby Squirtle.” Answered Andy. “I’ve already captured a lot of cool Pokemon too!”
“Yeah, I’m a trainer.” Jason hastily answered.
“By the way Jake.” Said Adam. “What become of that Pikachu? Did you fix its attacks?”
“Oh, yes I did!” Jake answered releasing a Pokeball containing said Pikachu.
“Wow, oh my goodness!” said Andy with a fixated stare. Pikablu was shining and very healthy and happy.
“Wow, so it is true.” Said Jason, Jake and Adam looked to him. “You CAN mutate Pokemon. That’s good to know.”
“What do you mean “mutate”?” asked Jake. “Pikablu was suffering from depression. It was blessed more than anything.”
“Whatever, I’m sorry.” Said Jason. “I’m just saying it’s good to see some evidence, that’s all.”
“Rii-ght.” Said Adam. “Well, we gotta go now. We got tickets to the SS Anne. Are you going Jake?”
“I don’t think so. That ride is really expensive, and where does it even go?”
“Well, whatever floats your boat!” snarked Adam, and the three walked off.

Jake walked further up the Cerulean Strip, and noticed a strange ruckus happening at Cerulean Gym. He joined in the crowd and tried to figure out what was going on. “What’s going on in there?” he asked.
“Some crazy trainer with a lot of Clefairy’s is acting like he owns the place!” answered a member of the crowd. Jake managed to get a better look, and sure enough, it was the Psycho from Pewter City.
“Okay Clefairy’s!” he said, putting on a strange Starmie costume. “I’m going to show you how to create a typhoon!” The Psycho in the Starmie costume jumped into the pool, and started swimming around in repeated 360 degree circles, faster and faster. The Six Clefairy’s jump into the water and starts doing the same, accomplishing nothing even close to a typhoon. The crowd starts bursting into laughter at the Psycho’s stupidity. The Psycho was feeling really bad after spinning around in the water like that. He shouldn’t have had that sun-dried subway sandwich he found. He then threw up all in the pool. A siren blared off, and out of an ambulance came civil workers, who grabbed the Psycho, threw him in a straightjacket, and wheeled him off to the Nut House. Speechless, Jake just walked away from the cheering crowd for putting on such a great act.

“You!” said an unfamiliar voice to Jake.

Chapter 9: Marble

It was a bright sunny day in the fields outside of Cerulean City. Marble was fishing at a lake with his two Pokemon, a Magikarp named Meaky, and his first Pokemon, a Psyduck named Bill. Another trainer from Pallet Town, Marble is a much less ambitious person than his contemporaries. His goal is not to become a Pokemon Master, but to become a Dragon-Type Gym Leader. This would be a difficult task, since there were only 3 known Dragon-Type Pokemon, and all in one evolutionary chain. This lead to Marble having an interest in Gyarados, since it was similar to a Dragon, could learn Draon-Type attacks, and were fairly common. His plan was to raise a team of Gyarados, with his partner and first Pokemon, Bill, by his side. Bill was a Psyduck given to Marble as a child, and the Pokemon was named in a silly fashion, by it’s beak.
Suddenly, a tug pulled the rod; it really felt like a big one. Marble had never had to use so much strength before with fishing. He finally managed to fish out the Pokemon…

Hooked Gyarados Attacked!

Go, Bill!

Bill used Confusion!

Gyarados takes damage of 12.

Gyarados used Bite!

Bill takes damage of 10.

Bill used Confusion!

Gyarados takes damage of 13.

Ultra Ball, GO!

Marble threw an Ultra Ball.

Gyarados has been captured!

“All right!” said an accomplished Marble, “I captured a Gyarados!”
“Psyyyy!” said Bill.
“Kaaaarp!” said Meaky.
“My first step toward becoming a Dragon Master.” Said Marble. “Don’t worry Meaky, some day you will be one too!” Meaky responded with a smile.
Marble decided to call it a day and returned to Cerulean City to heal his Pokemon. After leaving the Pokemon Center, Marble decided to travel up north to see what he could discover at Cerulean Cape. In the Northern side of town, he noticed a disturbance coming from a house. A man in a Black outfit with an R on his shirt was holding up a family.
“Stop right there!” said the threatening crook, holding a gun. “What do you think you could do about this?” asking Marble.
“Leave this poor family alone!” retorted Marble.

Duuunu! Duuuuunu! DUH!

The Crook sent out an Ekans! “Ekanssssss!” said the slithering serpent. Marble released Gyarados! “GYARADOOOOOOOOSSSS!” said the Chinese dragon. “Gyarados, Dragon Rage!” commanded Marble. Gyarados leered back and breathed out burning Blue Flames, forming a ring of bright fire around Ekans. “Ekans, Poison Sting!” shouted the Crook. Ekans fired 3 Poisonous Needles, Gyarados deflected them all. Just then, the raging ring of blue fire closed in on Ekans, its long, scaly body burning off in a poor, torturous way. “Eeee-KANS!” said the charred snake. “Oh no, Ekans, return!” the Crook recalled Ekans. “You’ll regret messing with Team Rocket, go Koffing!” The Team Rocket grunt called out Koffing. “Use Smog!” Koffing puffed out gasses of poisonous smog, but Gyarados wasn’t the least bit fazed. “Okay Gyarados,” said Marble, “Use Bite!” Gyarados stared threateningly into Koffing’s eyes. Koffing was sweating very profusely, worried about what may happen. Just then, Gyarados quickly thrusts it’s open mouth at Koffing and bites its whole body several times. After the fifth time, Koffing exhausted out an amazing amount of Smog causing Gyarados to release the tortured creature. The Poison Bag Pokemon lied on the ground, completely deflated, and bleeding out a disgusting mix of pus and blood. “Uh, oh man!” said the Rocket Grunt. “Koffing return!” the mangled mess was recalled. “You might want to take em to a Doctor, or a Morgue!” said Marble. “Now give back what you stole!” The Rocket Grunt tossed back the bag of money and quickly ran off. “Uh, thanks. I guess.” Said the owner of the house. “Sorry if I got violent, but I don’t take things like this slightly.” Responded Marble, leaving. The sun was getting ready to set, but that didn’t stop Marble from leaving the city and continuing his adventure to be a Dragon Master.

Chapter 8: Side Story: Three Pallet Trainers climbing together!

On a winding path overlooking Pewter City on Mt. Moon, a mysterious cloaked figure rides on a Ponyta. “Whoa, there” he said, stopping his Ponyta and dismounting. He walked closer toward the ledge, and watched with care on a trio of Pokemon trainers, just getting ready to enter the caves.
“Isn’t this great guys? We all got our first badges!” said Matthew.
“We’re almost at Cerulean City!” said a boy in aqua blue, holding a small Squirtle.
“This place has cool Pokemon!” said Adam. “I hope I can do some good training here.” The three started to venture through the caves.
“Hey guys!” said a familiar looking flamboyant man.
“Hi Brian!” responded the kid with the Squirtle.
“Hi Andy!” said Brian. “Are you a new Pallet Trainer too? I thought the Professor’s only Squirtle was given to Gary.”
“Nah, this Squirtle was just born to our families Blastoise.” Answered Andy. “And this Squirtle just got so attached to me, so I decided to take it to become a Trainer!
“Well, welcome to your great adventure, darling.” Responded Brian. “Be on the lookout for fossils! I already found me an Old Amber.” Brian walked off into the darkness. Matthew, Adam & Andy continued down the passages.
“It sure is dark here.” Said Adam, “I know, go Flarey!” Adam’s Charmander was released from its Pokeball, it’s Tail Fire illuminating the area. It started to get cooler, indicating it was dark outside.

*Duunu-Duunu-Duh!*

Wild Clefairy appeared by Adam.

Alright! A Clefairy!

Adam sent out Squigglystuff (Jigglypuff)

“’Squigglystuff’?” asked Matthew

Wild Clefairy used Pound! Squigglystuff took damage of 3!

Squigglystuff used Sing! Wild Clefairy is asleep!

Wild Clefairy is asleep! Zzz Zzz

Squigglystuff used Pound! Critical! Wild Clefairy took damage of 8!

Pokeball, GO!

The Pokeball shook repeatedly. After 5 shakes, the Pokeball stood stationary.

Wild Clefairy has been captured by Adam!

Clefairy has been nicknamed, “Pinko”

“Pinko?” asked Andy “Real original name Adam. And what’s with all these nicknames your giving your Pokemon?”
“And what kind of stupid name is “Squigglystuff” for a Jigglypuff?” asked Matthew.
“Well guys” answered Adam “Would you get a pet dog, and simply name it “dog?”
“But what about “Squigglystuff?”” asked Andy this time. “Jigglypuff doesn’t “Squig”, it Jigs!”
Adam responded, “Oh yeah, then what does Wigglytuff do?”
“Well, Wigglytuff Wigs!” retorted Andy, not know what he said.
Adam laughed, “Jigglypuff Jigs and Wigglytuff Wigs? That’s just...” Adam continued laughing. Meanwhile, two tall shadows and a small one lurk in the distance, the laughter reaching them by echo.
One lights a match. “Mee-owth!” said the figure.

Part 2: Who are the Rockets?


“Hey! Guys!” said a familiar voice but reverberated. It was Brian! His Pikachu using Flash to illuminate. “Come with me, I found some fossils for each of you!” Brian took them to a small chamber, where several fossils lie. One was a Dome Fossil, another was a Helix Fossil, and another was a Fang Fossil.
“Wow, this is sweet!” said Adam, grabbing the Dome Fossil.
“Thanks Brian!” said Andy, getting the Fang Fossil. “Wow, I hope this is a really powerful Pokemon!”
Matthew picked up the Helix Fossil. “I just hope we can make it out of this cave before it gets too late.”
“Oh no, that reminds me!” Brian said in a haste-filled tone. “Those Pokemon Catchers from Viridian City were rumored to be around here.”
“Guess that’s our cue!” said a feminine voice. Three shadowed figures emerged from behind a boulder. One was a Long Red-Haired woman, her partner was a Blue-Haired male, and a Meowth accompanied them.
“We don’t have time to make idle chit-chat.” said the male, in a deep, passive, non-flamboyant voice. “So we’re going to get to the point, we are Team Rocket! I’m James.”
“And I’m Jessie!” said his partner, sounding non-unusual. “We’re here to stop you from progressing. The only problem is our twerps whose names we don’t seem to know at all are starting to climb Mt. Moon.”
“And we’re after that kids Pikachu!” said the Meowth in a whispy, cat-sounding, non-Brooklyn accent.
“Huh? A talking Meowth!” said the three in unison.
“Go Ekans!” said Jessie.
“Go Koffing!” Said James. The Ekans and Koffing release from their Pokeballs. “Okay, we’re having a 2v2 battle!”

Team Rocket Jessie & James wants to fight!

Go Nidoran (m) and Flarey!

Matthew & Adam sent out Nidoran (m) and Flarey!

Ekans used Wrap on Nidoran (m)! Nidoran (m) is Wrapped! Damage of 3!

Flarey used Ember on Ekans! Ekans takes damage of 9! Ekans is Burned!

Nidoran (m) can’t move!

Koffing used Sludge on Nidoran (m)! Not very effective. Takes Damage of 2!

Let's just skip this battle...

What? Flarey is evolving!........ Flarey evolved into Charmeleon!

Koffing’s Selfdestruct exploded the chamber. Jessie, James & Meowth anticipated this and ran off in time. “Later twerps!” said Meowth, and the three ran off into the darkness. Rubble quickly fell on the four trainers.
“Oh no! We’re gonna die!” yelled Brian.
“I never thought it would end like this!” cried Andy.
“My Flarey just evolved too.” Moaned Adam. Just as heavier rocks started to fall, the four were quickly whisked away by another mysterious figure…
It was outside, the temperature was cool, and though it was dark, their rescuer held a lantern. It was a mysterious cloaked figure, his face hidden away. He stared at each of the four trainers for a very short time, with a slight fixation on Andy. He then whistled with his fingers. A Ponyta emerged from a bush, and the figure mounts. “Farewell, for now.” He said in a deep voice with a slight-ominous tone.
