Title: The Longest Journey (Chapter 6)

Chapter 6

Citizens were forced to go to the battlefield as their cities were burned by enraged fire pok�mon. If you were in outer space, you could see pok�mon and people marching in the dirty paths of the Mountains of Isolation.
They seemed to think that I was the reason this was happened. It was ghost MissingNo that really did it. The news didn�t know about this and said that I caused this mess. Who cares anyway? The battle already started.
My conclusion was that the legend about the MissingNo ghost was created hundreds of years ago when they saw it at that time. Then, it fled and didn�t appear until the moment we saw it in Cinnabar Island. Then, it was turned back to a ghost because it was caught in its own spell. That�s when we got the map and when we opened the treasure, the ghost jumped down and stole it.
There were some things to question though. Why and where did the ghost flee to? Why did it come out right when Aloha, Kristin, and I started to approach Cinnabar Island? There must be answers to that.
The battlefield was lighted heavily and was a floating glass plate above �nothing�. You could even see the �nothing�; it is all blackness.
Not a lot of attacks were used. It looked like some kind of warm up. This would mean that this battle is quite organized among the pok�mon. How could the message be spread so fast? It must be a knowledge that every pok�mon knows. After every single pok�mon comes, then the battle will start.
It looked like my pok�mon were missing. I asked a nearby trainer, �Are your pok�mon gone?�
�Yes. They went out to warm up on the field.�
That was what I was thinking. The pok�mon probably escaped secretly so I won�t know about it too quickly. In the big sea of pok�mon though, it was too hard to try and locate my own pok�mon.
More pok�mon arrived to the field. It still seemed like that there was to be a million pok�mon left, so I think that the battle won�t begin for a while.
The battlefield had some very good pok�mon and some so-so pok�mon. Every pok�mon had to participate though, so it wasn�t a surprise. I even thought I saw that dog that was warning me to get off the mountain.
Aloha and Kristin were standing on the battlefield on the side opposite of where I was standing in the beginning. It took about an hour to dash through the circumference of the circular battlefield with my EvilCelebi, which I did find and called out. Still after that though, the pok�mon have not all arrived.
I saw Meula, ran up to her, and asked her about the number of pok�mon attending this event.
�It is all the pok�mon,� she answered, �I think that there is at least 250 million.
The pok�mon counter only indicated 26 million pok�mon, and it has been 16 hours since the pok�mon have started taking over the field.
That�s a long time to wait.
While I was talking with Meula about past events, EvilCelebi went sprinting around the field, strengthening endurance and agility.
By the time our conversation was done, the sun came up. I was so tired that I fell asleep in the bushes surrounding the battlefield.

It wasn�t long before I woke up because the increasing noise of the attacks made it impossible to sleep. It didn�t seem like that too many people noticed me sleeping because the bushes were so dense. I had really slept for 8 hours even though it felt like 90 minutes. The pok�mon counter still only indicated 41 million pok�mon even though the pok�mon were pouring in.
It takes a person about 11.5 days to count to a million if he counted one number every second. It might sound that you won�t need that long because you can count to 100 in 12 seconds, like me, but as you get to number like 145623, it gets really hard, so you would still need something like ten days.
250 million numbers will take the person like 11 years, not 7.8 years, because numbers like 245353432 are not always easy to say.
Of course I won�t be waiting for eleven years because the pok�mon are flowing in, or otherwise by the time they�re finished, I would be a university student acting like a sixth or seventh grader.
There was a little cloud in the sky that was there for seven hours; it seemed mysterious since the wind was blowing like a fan at full power. It could be some kind of wind current that is sweeping over our area for a little period.
Behind me was another area of bigger clouds moving as fast as the winds. In seconds, there were some drops of rain falling from the sky. A few minutes later, hail started to form, and then lightning splashed the sky. It wasn�t soon after that the winds started rotating. The winds were picking and blew the rain all over the place. The common lightning that almost touched the ground melted the hail into water and the wind would blow them away to somewhere else. The tornado that appeared was weakened when a bolt of lightning struck into it. Eventually it disappeared. The big storm cloud crashed against the little cloud. I thought that for sure the storm cloud was going to diminish the small cloud, but in fact it was the other way around. The big cloud exploded midair when it made contact with the little cloud.
Several hours later, the wind stopped completely and the little cloud moved away. I don�t that that storm was any storm; something was strange about that particular one. It almost told a similar situation as the one going on right now.
The pok�mon count reached 60 million. That was only about 25% of the total, so that wasn�t really it.

After 14 days of waiting after the storm, the pok�mon count reached 248 million. Just 2 million left! I don�t know why I was excited about the battle when it was big trouble for me.
The warm-ups were getting more intense. Everyone was trying to be calm about this, but the look on their faces did not show tranquility.
�A long time ago, way before the dog even existed, there was a great battle that devastated everyone. Civilizations were ended then, and there were more than 240,000 people killed because the battle went out of control. It was recorded on a stone,� Meula told me. She was researching this event, and explained the story just like how the thing mentioned it.
�The stone was known to be written well before 3200 years ago, and people today think that this is fake because battle would only start if the treasure was stolen. The treasure wasn�t put anywhere until 600 years ago!�
None of these ancient things ever fit, I thought. All the evidence someone finds tells a different story.
�Surprisingly, the ancient people 3000 years ago knew how to write English,� Meula continued.
I recalled, way before, I found a letter in a bottle that mentioned some kind of Onix attacking. Could that be part of the battle?
Then, the letter was dated in the 1400s, so that couldn�t be it.
But what if the writer left out the BC part of the date and instead it really happened in the 1400s BC?
It is true after all that the thing happened over 3200 years ago, and 1400 BC was about 3400 years ago! Also, Meula mentioned that they could write English quite well. That would�ve fit perfectly.
�One of the major problems was a huge Onix that appeared from the mountains that was 45 times the size of the average one. Legend says that it destroyed cities over thousands of miles.�
Hmmmm� How surprising is that?
It is definite: from the evidence I know, the pok�mon battle went out of control and the Onix was part of it. There was still one question, though.
How did the battle start in the first place?
I asked Meula that.
�No one knew how the battle started because no one bothered to record what happened.�
Do you know how I predicted that answer? It�s the answer to almost every question about history. Do scientists today know how the Egyptians built the pyramids?
The idea of the ramp is only a theory; it is not a fact. So, it is still a mystery.
I�ve noticed that every single mystery that was solved about the past and now had something to do with what Aloha, Kristin, and I have seen so far. Is there something going on with me?
Ugh, so many questions.
The pok�mon count reached 249000000.
