Somewhere in the vast expanse of the Universe, Arceus, the legendary Pokémon and guardian of all creation, maintained a vigilant watch over the cosmic channels that connected Earth with the rest of the Universe. From its celestial vantage point, Arceus sensed a subtle disturbance, a lingering presence that stirred a sense of unease within its divine consciousness.

As the supreme being overseeing the intricate web of cosmic energies, Arceus possessed a unique ability to perceive disturbances and anomalies that occurred on Earth. Its immense power and connection to the fabric of reality allowed it to detect even the faintest ripples in the space-time continuum.

Arceus, with its keen perception, honed in on the peculiar sensation, trying to decipher its origin. However, before it could pinpoint the exact location or nature of the disturbance, the mysterious figure vanished, leaving behind a lingering sense of intrigue and curiosity.

In the Fiends' camp, amidst the shadowy depths, a towering and muscular figure stood tall, his imposing presence casting an intimidating aura. He, too, felt the unsettling sensation that emanated through the channels of the Universe. The enigmatic feeling lingered in his mind, perplexing and intriguing him.

With his immense strength and formidable stature, the figure gazed intently in the direction from which the mysterious energy had originated. His sharp instincts and heightened senses allowed him to perceive the subtlest disturbances in the cosmic fabric. Yet, despite his immense power, he could not decipher the true nature of the sensation.

A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.

Frustrated by his inability to comprehend the eerie feeling, the burly figure halted his gaze, turning away from the direction that had captivated his attention. He retreated into the depths of the Fiends' camp, a realm obscured from ordinary eyes.

Scene - 4

Amidst the echoing sounds of blaring horns, deep within an underground palace, a group of individuals dressed in red attire and concealing masks hurriedly made their way through the dimly lit corridors. Their synchronized movements and urgency indicated a purposeful mission unfolding.

As they reached a colossal gate, its imposing presence yielded to their arrival, granting them access into a vast chamber beyond. Inside, an expansive table dominated the center of the room, surrounded by a gathering of masked figures. Each participant wore a distinct mask, their identities concealed from prying eyes. The air crackled with an air of secrecy and anticipation.

At the forefront of the table stood a figure adorned in black garments, their silhouette commanding attention. A crimson cape draped gracefully over their shoulders, signifying a position of authority or prominence among their clandestine assembly. Their presence exuded an aura of power and intrigue, drawing the focus of all those in attendance.

"My lord," a member of the hastily arriving group spoke, bowing before the figure at the center of the table. The person exuded an air of authority, likely the leader of this enigmatic assembly. In response, the figure commanded, "Stand up," dismissing the need for subservience in their presence.

With a flick of the hand, the figure tossed a badge towards the leader, a tangible symbol of their next task. The badge gleamed in the dim light, catching the attention of all those gathered.

"Use this badge to find someone," the figure declared, their voice carrying an air of determination and authority. The words hung in the air, their implications heavy with purpose. The objective was crystal clear: the target was to be apprehended, whether by force or by subtler means. The leader had been entrusted with the power to decide the target's fate, be it life or death.

"Yes, my lord," the leader responded, their voice filled with loyalty and obedience . With a final command, the figure declared, "Dismissed."

Everyone inside the chamber left quickly, leaving only the figure with the black clothes and red cape standing alone at the center of the table .

"Master, I have done what you have asked," the figure whispered, their voice barely audible in the empty chamber. Their gaze shifted towards a particular direction in the vast expanse of the sky, as if seeking acknowledgement from an unseen presence.

Who is this organization? Who is that mysterious figure in the red cape? And who is the enigmatic entity? Why do they have a motive to eliminate Zack? All the answers to these questions will be revealed as the story unfolds.
