Frosterpie's Caterpie Forest

  They woke up the next morning overlooking a beautiful sunrise on the Cerulean Sea. The sky was full of reds, pinks, oranges, and purples. Icy and Sara ate their breakfast while they watched the impressive display. Sara leaned over to Icy.
  “Icy, do you think that Mr. Bill was a cure for us?”
  “Yes Sara, I do.”
  “How can you be so sure of it?”
  “Because, if he doesn’t, well, I just know he does, that’s all.”
  “Icy, tell me what the little girl Sara was like.”
  “Well, first, you were that little girl, remember.”
  “Uhhhh…”
  “Anyway. Sara was a sweet little girl. She always loved to play with pokémon and help them. She would spend time with me every now and then. Hehehe… at least you remembered to continue doing that part.”
  “Pihehe… Yah…”
  “Well, let’s go visit Bill.”
  “Wait, I want to enjoy one last morning of being a Pikachu first.” She took Icy’s paw and run into a nearby forest.

  Icy and Sara traveled to Saffron City to meet their parents and announce their engagement. Sara’s parents were so overjoyed to see their daughter for the first time in 4 years, and Icy’s parents were equally happy to see their son a human again.
  Sara’s father had a special gift for his daughter. It was the Butterfree from her childhood. It had grown a bit bigger, but was still cute. She took it and thanked him.
  Icy then told Sara he needed to contact the Pokémon League for some business. He called the league commissioner. “Hello, this is Icy. I was inquiring about opening a non-league gym in the Viridian Forest?”
  “Yes Icy. We have you on our file. It’s cleared. But the league will not recognize the badge you give out for there you know.”
  “I know, I know. I just want to have a gym to train pokémon in and hold battles.”
  “Can’t find any regulations against it. Good luck. Remember, you still gotta build it. Oh, just for the record, what type will you be primarily training there?”
  “Bug pokémon sir.”
  “Bug?”

  Windstorm landed on the shores just a few meters away from the lighthouse. “Windstorm, return!” The tired Pidgey returned to its cozy pokéball. “C’mon Sara, let’s find out what Bill knows about this egg.”
  “Wow, it’s pretty.” The egg had multi-colored dots speckled over it. Icy figured it would hatch soon since the shell was beginning to crack. “Who’s Bill?”
  “Bill is a scientist. He does a lot of research on pokémon. He’s quite famous.” Icy hadn’t taken another step before the world changed to resemble the dark Void again. But this time, Sara was with him, alive.
  “Icy…” she shivered. “Where are we? This doesn’t look like the beach anymore…”
  “It’s not. Mewtwo is playing games with me again. We’re inside the Void.”
  “What’s that?”
  “It’s kinda complicated to explain…”
  “Welcome back Icy. I must admit, I wasn’t sure you’d come this far…”

  During that night, while Icy and Sara were alone, Icy dreams revealed a new message to him. A dark figure spoke in a deep voice.
  “Icy…” he moaned. Icy, in his dream, woke up, startled. Although in his conscience mind he knew whom the voice belonged to, something kept him from realizing it this time.
  “Who’s there?”
  “Icy… You still haven’t figured it all out.”
  “Figured what out? Who are you?” Icy’s pikachu instincts brought on a quick surge of anger and impatience.
  “You think it all ended with the Doomsday Project.”
  “What do you mean? What ended?”
  “You can’t even figure out what puzzle you’re trying to solve… Pathetic… Your pikachu form has made your mind weak.”
  “Why are you speaking in riddles? If you want to tell me something, just say it already.” Icy grew more impatient.
  “I sense the anger in you. You want to know the real truth. What really happened? It’s so much more than you could possibly hope to imagine.”
  “Who are you! Show yourself coward!” Icy took a fighting stance as the shadowy figure emerged from the darkness. “You…”
