Dreams disappear when the dreamer wakes.
"No matter how many times I visit Lake Verity I'm still taken away by its beauty." Standing on the shoreline of Lake Verity was a young boy who quietly stared in awe at the scene before him. In the sky above a multitude of Starly happily soared through the air, peppered throughout the trees were Burmy who quietly hung from their branches careful as to not alert any hungry Starly, trudging through the snow covered forest floor was a Luxray followed by two Shinx cubs, and swimming within the crystal clear lake was a school of Magikarp and Feebas. Now John always considered himself fortunate to have been able to visit the other regions of the world such as the all too simplistic Kanto region, the bustling cities of Unova, the lesser known Orre region, the rolling hills of Kalos and Galar, and of course the sunny and tropical region of Alola. Though to John nothing could beat the beauty that was Sinnoh. All I ask is for it to be a little bit warmer. He silently thought to himself as he watched flurries of snow gently float downward.
He could stand there for hours admiring the natural beauty before him, not to mention the fact that the lake itself gave off a powerful sense of joy, but that's not what brought him all the way down from Celestic Town. His gaze soon fell upon the large cavern that rested at the lakes center. "I wonder if those stories about the Lake Guardians residing within such caved are actually true? Who knows maybe we aren't doing the observing eh Belladonna?" John commented with a light chuckle as he looked down at the blue-headed Ralts. "R-Ralts." The Pokémon coldly cooed as she turned upward towards her trainer offering him a friendly smile. "Oh come here you." John said as he reached down to grab Belladonna and brought her close to his chest in an attempt to warm her up. "Ralts!" She cried out in affection as she gently nuzzled the boys chest.
John soon returned his attention towards the caverns entrance; now he couldn't tell if it was the trick of the light or some sort of reflection but it seemed as though a ghostly shimmer hung in the air. "Hm? Now what could that be?" John muttered in curiosity. Though as quickly as it had appeared the shimmer too had disappeared. Even stranger was the fact that the joyous atmosphere had vanished; even the bustling Pokémon had retreated into the forest leaving an ominous silence hanging in the air. "Ralts..." A nervous coo from Belladonna had caught John's ear and he turned to her noticing that she was staring at something nearby. It had taken him a moment to realize that he was no longer the only visitor. Standing only a few feet away from him was a man with cyan colored haired focusing on where the shimmering figure had hovered. "...The flowing time... The expanding space... I will make it all mine one day... Cyrus is my name. Remember it... Until then, sleep while you can, legendary Pokémon of the lake bed..." The man mumbeled before turning to catch John's gaze. "Pardon me." Were the only other words that the man named Cyrus uttered before excusing himself. "Well he certainly was the odd one." John whispered as he watched the man depart. "Ralts." Belladonna cooed in agreement. Once the man had completely vanished from sight that joyous atmosphere slowly returned and a few wild Pokémon eased their way out of the forest. "Well Belladonna we should probably start making our way to Sandgem Town. Professor Rowan is expecting us and we both know how ge can get when he's kept waiting." With a chuckle, and another quck glance towards the cavern, the two made their way back onto Route 201 and departed for Sandgem Town.
