“Wake up, we’ll be late!” A female voice exclaimed,

“Late for what?” I asked, for I was confused.

“Youngsters’ exploration club’s meeting! Remember, today’s meeting is in the morning!” She replied.

“Shelly, it’s only five.”

“So what Green? Rather be early than late!”


My name is Green. An average Chikorita, seven years old. Shelley is my younger sister, and she’s an Oshawatt. The Youngsters’ Exploration Club? It’s just five kids who like exploring and getting into minor trouble. The five kids are my best friends ever. Pan, the Panpour who loves berries. Blu, the Swablu she is pretty average to be honest, but she loves music. Dream the Drowsee, he likes to be awake at night and sleep during the day, he’s nocturnal. Then there’s Shelley and me. We had a place where we’d hold our meetings to see where we’d explore next. What do we mean by exploring? Meeting new people, Trying new foods, and looking for treasure!

Pan is the president of the club, she looked around. “Good, everyone is here. I have an announcement. We’re going spelunking! In hidden ruins!”

cool!

Dream: “Excuse me? Hidden? The White Pillar ruins are marked on the map, and that place is open to tourists!”
Pan: “I have a friend, his parents are rich and own the place. He says there is a hidden entrance. He says he knows exploring alone is dangerous, so he’s going with us.”

Right beside Pan was a Meowth, sitting in a chair. “My name is Yen. I found a second entrance. Beneath a pillar with a RED TITAN carving.”

Shelley: RED TITAN?
Blu: yeah, apparently IT created the land while the BLUE TITAN created the sea.
Green: THEY were always fighting, so a THIRD TITAN was created in order to keep them apart. Nobody knows where THEY are now.
Shelley: THEY sound very powerful then.
Yen: VERY, very powerful. Two more hours before the ruins are open to the public. We can sneak in now.

Everyone walked. Except Blu. She hopped. We approached a piece of rubble.

Yen: through here!

We followed him. It was dark. But that’s why Dream’s here. He glowed, which revealed a hallway. One door at the end. Pan stepped near the door. Yen stopped her.

Yen: remember, whatever we find, the ancient people clearly didn’t want us to see.
Shelley: that’s what makes this so exiting!

Pan opened the door.
The doorway was glowing, like a portal. The light was overwhelming. Dream stopped glowing.

Dream: wow.

Dream, as if in a hypnosis walked towards the lights. Everyone else followed him. I was reluctant. But I followed him too.

We looked around. The place was too white. Too white. White buildings that looked as if they were made of marble, not a speck of dirt. The streets were white too. There were buildings built on top of buildings in layers. Building lasagna. People were flying, people I’ve never seen before. There was hardly any noise, just the people making eye contact.

Shelley: This place is beautiful. What is this place?
Yen: I don’t know, but it looks very similar to how my parents say the Andients lived.
Shelley: maybe we should ask around?
Green: that’s a good idea. Wait- where’s Pan, Blu, and Dream?
???: I sincerely apologize, I do not understand what you are saying.
Shelley: huh?

The voice was masculine, and was coming from a small, floating person with glowing fingers. An ancient. Apparently, the ancients could speak without saying a word aloud. (An elgyem.)

???: Apologies. I am not skilled with speaking orally. My name is Tu.
Shelley: Where are we?
Tu: White Pillar City. You do not appear as if you are from the Second Chance.
Green: Second Chance?
Tu: there was a realm before ours. The Original they refer to it as. Judging by your lack of knowledge of basic history and geography, I assume you’re from there?
Shelley: They’re calling us stupid. Let’s turn back and go home. Wait- where’s the glowy doorway?
Yen: we’re stuck here?
Green: unfortunately.
Tu: Unfortunately? This place is amazing. You just need to open your mind!
Shelley: Yeah right. You called us dumb.
