====JONKO====

I looked out at the scene of destruction. Before me lay the smoldering ruins of Sapphire town, the buildings all damaged or collapsed and corpses littered the streets. I sighed and turned around, wishing my dream would change.

"Mistress Cresselia, Lord Darkrai, why must you plague me with these memories?" I sighed as I walked away and the scene changed to one of shadowy nothingness.

"Because you don't let yourself think of anything happy when you sleep." _ _I looked back to where I stood. The Legendary Pokémon, Cresselia herself stood in her true form with a sad smile upon her face. I sighed again and turned to face her.

"Lady Cresselia, it's been a while." I bow my head respectfully. She was one of the few Legendaries I respected and would show it to, not saying I did not respect any of them, but some acted too childish or disrespectful for me to be willing to.

"Indeed my young friend. How was your recent battle?" _ _She floated to my side, and recreated the bench and lake at the Safari Zone back in Kanto with my memories.

"I died, apart from that it was just another fight." I chuckled as we sat on the bench.

"Yes... my mate told me about his promise after I learned he allowed you to live." _ She looked down and started fiddling with her hands. **"What do you think?"_**

"About someone else finding my soulmate for me? Little irritated and disappointed." I shook my head and smiled slightly. "But it's great to know that I actually have someone out there who can... love... me..." The lake began to shimmer as I saw images of myself tearing at my enemies ruthlessly.

"You fear you may scare her away even though she's your soulmate?" _ _I sighed and leaned forward onto my forearms and thighs.

"I am a monster Cress," I sighed, "Mewtwo is one in a select few who's seen me fight and not feared me." I looked up to the Legendary, "That's a total of six not including the council in... well, seven regions. Those aren't exactly good odds for me."

"You know there are a few people who wish to meet the famous Hero of Blood?" _ She said softly and reached one of her purple arms around my shoulders. **"And I can tell you that your soulmate will love you regardless of how you fight."_**

"Cress," I looked back to the lake as the image change to scene that plagued me far too often. The water became black and bubbled lightly. Slowly a light came from the middle of the lake as it showed the inside of a dark cave. The sound of gentle crying slowly filled the air.

"JoJo." _ I closed my eyes and, taking a deep breath, exhaled heavily through my nose. The air stilled as the crying stopped and the lake returned to normal as I opened my eyes again. **"You're not going to be alone like that again."_** _ _I sighed and smiled softly.

"Thank you Cress. Is there something I can help you with?" I looked back at her and stood up, needlessly stretching. She sighed and suddenly I felt like something bad was going to happen REAL soon.

======FLO=====

I shifted and stretched myself out on the pillow I slept on as I slowly woke up. I rose to my feet with a wide yawn and looked around when I spotted Jonko. He had passed out in the chair last night. Now that some light was leaking into the room from the window beside the bed, I could see that he slept in only his boxer-briefs, which I blushed but giggled at because they were white with light pink hearts on them. I slowly looked at the rest of him, and slowly widening my eyes as my mouth opened wider.

His skin was covered in cuts, scratches and small round scars that looked suspiciously like bullet wounds. His legs were fairly clear of both these, but still had a small collection. His arms held most of the cuts and scratches but oddly enough his forearms held none of the round scars unlike the upper sections of his arms. Both his arms and legs were also fairly well muscled like his torso, not exactly ripped but you could tell it was there. Speaking of his torso,

"I don't remember seeing that scar yesterday." I looked directly at the center of his chest where he had a massive scar over his breast bone that looked like a firecracker exploded on it. He snorted and I looked up at his face. His eyes were half way open and his nose twitched slightly, but apart from that he had an expressionless face and I assumed he was still asleep.

"He's still asleep, Flo. Why don't you come down for breakfast?"** I suddenly felt Mewtwo suddenly in my head. I squeaked and shook my head, not expecting him. ** "Sorry a... is he seriously wearing undergarments with pink hearts on them?"

"Y... yes." I thought for him as I hopped of the bed and headed to the door. I felt him laugh in my head.

"Oh ho ho, I am going to enjoy messing with him."

"You wanna let him know he's projecting to the whole house?" I jumped and looked at the chair with Jonko in it. He still had no expression on his face and his eyes were still half open. "And it's a little hard to sleep with someone else's voice in your head." He slowly opened his eyes fully then smiled.

==TIME/JONKO==

"So Jonko, when do you think you will try for an Amethyst Badge?" Sabrina asked me, as I cleared the table.

"Not till I get a few friends and probably the other seven badges." I chuckled as I said honestly, everyone but Flo chuckled at that.

"Is your team really that powerful?" She asked.

"Sabrina and I are telepathically linked and can think as one single being." I heard Alan answer as I walked the plates to the sink. "We were can even feed each other's power with our own and since she is immune to dark types, our combine power made us a threat to even some of the strongest dark types."

"When I was... sick I didn't really care about hurting others and had Alan go all out, which is what lead to me being well known as the most dangerous gym leader in Kanto." Sabrina said softly.

"It also helped her train me after she pulled herself together." I walked back to the table as Granger took over, "As you probably know, it's really hard for my chain to reach the point where we evolve to our final form. Well, thanks to Sabrina and Alan, I evolve and the three of us became virtually unbeatable."

As I sat down I slipped the Multi-Dex off and placed it on the table as I rested my head in a palm. I zoned out as I thought about what Cresselia said in my sleep.

==FLASHBACK==

"Cress, what are you hiding?" I backed up slightly, and crossed my arms. She shifted slightly.

"The council is concerned about the weapon the Lightning Commanders used against Mr. Natsume." _ _She rose as the bench vanished and the scene changed again, this time to another's view of the battle. From this vantage point, I could see the round the tank fired impact the shield Mewtwo held. I frowned as I saw it crumple into a fine powder and disappear. Seconds later, the scene showed me getting hit by the same round, and the same thing happening.

"I'm really glad I couldn't feel that." I shook my head and replayed both scenes, "It's almost like they hit us with a condensed, powdered version of Dark Pulse." I mumbled and scratched the scar on my chest. Cress nodded.

"Many of the Legendaries thought the same, and Arceus wants to question Mr. Natsume tomorrow night." _ _I looked to her.

"Where do I fit in? Or do you need Diyablo?" Cress sighed and turned to me with a sad look on her face, answering my question for me.

==CURRENTLY==

I felt someone suddenly bite down on my forearm. I blinked and looked down at Flo, who sat on the table with my arm in her jaws looking up at me.

"Eh? Sorry, what happened?" I picked up the Multi-Dex and put it back on.

"Something wrong Jonko?" Granger asked as Flo released my arm. I sighed and frowned.

"One of the downsides to being friends with a Legendary, others tend to make request of you." I turned my head to Mewtwo who instantly stiffen as I felt him scour across my mind.

"What do you mean?" Flo asked, we all jumped as Mewtwo slammed his fist into the table. His face became one of frustration.

"They don't have any r-"

"What's done is done." I interrupted him. "Mistress Cresselia gave me the order last night." I stared directly into his eyes.

"Jonko, what are you talking about?" I looked down at Flo and sighed.

"One of the Legendaries of dreams has tasked me to go to Pearl town and find out what the Commander's used on Mewtwo." I looked back to Mewtwo, "And as Peal is home to one of the region's gyms I will head there eventually anyway."

=====TIME=====

After an hour of arguing with him, Mewtwo finally backed off and settled for growling angrily. Flo was, of course, excited at the prospect of working for the Legendaries, but was filled with questions, some I nor Mewtwo answer without her learning who I truly was. Granger and Alan had took their daughter out back behind the house to play and train not too long after Mewtwo and I started going at it. Mrs. Natsume suddenly stood up.

"Mr. Maxwell is here with the van." She called as she walked to the living room and assumingly the front door.

"Ah yes. I had to leave it by his house when the Commanders showed up." _ Mewtwo rose and stretched. " **_Speaking of leaving things, did you ever rig a pokeball?"** _ _I was quiet for a few moments, the smacked my forehead.

"Nope, couldn't figure out the system." I stood, picking up Flo and dropping her on my shoulder. "Sorry 'bout that Flo, looks like you may actually be my Pokémon." She shrugged her shoulders.

"Oh well, at least you tried. But what did you ask Mew- Err, Mr. Natsume to pick up?" I chuckled.

"He did a job for the military during the Battle of Opal." _ _Mr. Natsume responded as we all headed to the front door.

"After I got paid, I picked up a few toys and had my old van retro fitted."

"You were at the Battle of Opal?" she asked surprised, " What the Distorted World?!" Mewtwo and I Laughed, but didn't respond.

"So, how's she drive?" I looked to him as I opened the door. Mr. Natsume shook his felinoid head.

"Try it for yourself." _ _He gestured to the outside of his fence. My gaze followed his arm and I smiled.

The large, ash colored van looked bulky as hell. In all honesty if you didn't know what had been done to it, you would assume it was an old armored van. The bottom of the van sat almost two feet off the ground and had large off-road tires that would make traversing the bumpy back trails hidden across Regamas much easier and faster. On top sat the five thick, industry grade solar panels that powered the electric motor, generators, and charge the emergency batteries.

"What. Is. That." I looked at Flo from the corner of my eye and smirked.

"That, hunk of rigged steel, is my transport and home." I looked back as Sabrina walked around the back of the van with a look of shock. She noticed me then hollered,

"This is your little mobile home?" I laughed.

"Yeah, she ain't much, but it's more home than that pack I got." I jerked a thumb back to the second floor guest room, where said bag was.

"Do you really live in that?" Flo asked, hopping down from my shoulder and walking over to it.

"Best get acquainted with it, gonna be your home too as long as we travel together." She turned to look at me like I was insane, I laughed again.

=====TIME=====

After I had grabbed my bag and we said our goodbyes, Flo and I headed down the road in my oversized electric vehicle. I didn't want to leave the eye sore in front of the Natsume residence since both of them could send us to Kanto with a blink of an eye, so I just did a military once over and threw my large bag in the back. Now we we're on route nine-o-six S, heading out towards the Lone Mountain just past the forest at the end of the Golden Field and listening to one of my CD's.

"Who do you think you are?! Tearing us all apart?!" Flo sang along tapping a paw and rocking her head in time to the music.

"Where did you think you can go?!" I continued, "Cause everyone already knows, It's twenty to one yeah so you better run..." we made eye contact momentarily, then in sync

"You got the world on its knees! You're taking all that you please! You want more! You want more?! But you'll get nothing from me! But enemies." We both started laughing and couldn't finish the last few lines of the song

"Oh, oh that was good." She shook her head as she shifted in the passenger seat. The next song started to come on but I lowered the volume.

"Yeah, if nothing else we could just go karaoking." I said and started to pull off the road in the forest just past the Field. "Alright, time to put some things in place and figure out what to do for your bed." I put it in park then slipped past the center console and gear shifter into the back of the van.

"I still think you're crazy for sleeping in this thing." She said as she jumped after me. I just laughed.

"Yeah, yeah, just help drag shit out of the bag so I can put it in this chest." I slapped the large silver coffin that sat bolted into the side of the car on top of a rack that ran the length of the back along the driver's side.

"That's..." She shook her head, " Jonko, you're strange." I smiled and nodded. The next few minutes where spent singing along to the radio and unloading my oversized bag, except for the hidden compartment where I kept everything I used when I needed to use my other name. We eventually wound up agreeing that she would sleep on my bedroll and I would sleep on the cargo rack along the passenger side. We left my backpack on the floor as we went up to the seats, when I remembered that I did not remember where the hidden trail was.

"Whoops, hang on." I helped Flo back into the passenger seat as I went digging through one of the outer pockets.

"I thought we got everything."

"Nope, I got a few things still in... AH!" I pulled out the large folded brown map and started wiggling up to my seat.

"What's that?" Flo asked me as I sat back in the driver's chair. I smiled at her and opened it up as I laid it out just in front of the gear shifter. " I thought the Multi-Dex had a map..." Her gaze became fixed on the small area's I had highlighted.

"It does, but as you noticed, THIS ONE is marked from my travels and shows... a few more things than an average map." I smiled and tapped the penciled line that lead from nine-o-six S to just shy of West Channel, where it split and went to the nine-o-six E, and across the river to nine-o-five. "Such as some of the hidden routes and lesser known hiding holes for the nomadic groups." I let her look over the map as I took the van back up the S and closer to the both Lone Mountain and the hidden turn off I was looking for.

"So... who's this, Axel?" I saw her look at me from the corner of my eye. Without intending to, I let out a pleased growl.

"He's a bastard son of a bitch who knows how to handle a gun." I laughed.

======FLO=====

"Did he just growl?" I looked at him with a confused expression, then looked back to the map. My eyes suddenly locked on a large shaded section of Emerald Jungle labeled; 'Reaper's potential hideout around here' and I was instantly filled with dread. "How does he know where we have hidden ourselves? No, why does he know where we've hidden?!"

"You good there Flo?" I just stared at the map, Jonko must have followed my gaze because, "I don't have anything against the Shadow Reapers, and I've helped a few get to that general area so I've kinda put two and two together." I looked up to him again, he had a soft smile on his lips as drove. I looked back to his custom map, then back ahead, lost in thought.

"Who in the Distorted World is this guy? He's friends with the Legendary Mewtwo, he knows about AND gets orders from the Counsel, he's been in Opal during the Battle, and now I learn that he's help us find sanctuary?! Darkrai, what is this man's story?"
