Welcome to Gaia! ::

*A laugh came from the hall inwhich Poke had been carried down.* "So jumpy Poke. Surely your not always this way. You certainly weren't the last time we had a match." *Sadie walked into the dim light and looked at Poke as she waved a hand and the other moved off before getting sliced open.* "As for where you've been taken surely you could have guessed that. Don't thses runes look the same from the ones outside on the sign above the door?" *Sadie smiled and walked past poke toward a large stone orb that bobbed in the center of the room. Soon she looked back at Poke after trailing a hand over it.* "You can feel the evil here can't you?" she asked with a smile. "Galin, fetch some water for our guest. That vapor from outside has surely made her thristy, but then again I could be mistaken. It had me when I stumbled upon this place months ago."

*Sadi eeyes Poke for a moment as Galin returned with two glasses of water on a tray and held it out to Poke.* "Aye, it does have something to do with it. No~Saen rather Serenity Valley was once a glorious place. Bright open fields for training pokemon, wild pokemon wandered freely. Battles range in these very walls. Yes Poke, this was once a Gym, a proud one, but it is no more. Nothing, but a crumbling building containing this." she said as the orb suddenly sprang open revealing a very dark void, screaching cries came from within as dark eyes appeared within its center. Black tendrils snaked their ways out of the orb. Shadows it appeared, nothing, but shadows. Many cries came from the void, many human, some pokemon. All seemed to have fallen pley to whatever was within the void. Sadie closed the orb quickly as to block out the darkness that was within.* "Now you see? See why this place is call No~Saen? No serenity? Nothing ever rests here and neither do I, Poke... I search for a way to end this darkness. To bring light to the valley again. I chose the life of a dark trainer to try and understand it, I still don't understand it. I wish it gone, but I don't know how to get rid of it." *Sadie seemed to be almost in tears, though her eyes remained bone dry.*

((sorry it's so late, l had to go in the car for something, and l wasn't feeling to good and l was finaly able to ring my friend

l hope that post doesn't seem to stupid x.x))

poke was about to reply to kesmi when she stopped. kesmi didn't know for sure that her idea had been tried already; all she had done is read the old runins. Unless she had tried it herself...

"erm, surethink" poke started, gratefully taking the water that was offered to her before and gulping it down

((Kesmi...did you forget Kisarii? ;__ wink )

Nikki spotted Sango, and ran over. "Hi. I'm Nikki. Do you wanna battle?"

Sparkle looked at Chikorita. "Hi, I'm Sparkle. I'm sooo glad there's another Pokemon here."

[[ Ack. Got caught up in something... Sorry. ]]

*A strange ehoey howl issued through the air as a large ghort pokemon drifted through the valley, his home. Glowing eyes unblinkingly watched everything around the valley. The large pokemon called out as it twitsted and coiled along the trees within the valley, soon coming upon one of the trainers that had entered his home. Raising up some he called out again before flipping back and away from the trainer to venture further into the valley.*
