DWA: OKAY! I am out of my kinda unannounced Hiatus. I'm sorry for making you wait but I couldn't concentrate, DA kinda sucked me in to Roleplaying. I might draw the characters from the story even if I can't do them justice. Now, I will try to get a chapter out on the weekend, but from here on out, it may be a one a week thing. Not sure, depends on what I can get done. But I will get one a week out at least, so look forward to it each week. As long as college doesn't get in the way.

Before I give the summary, if you found this before you read the other Arc's you have to read the other ones, no exception. You will have no clue what's going on later in the story. Now, disclaimer please….oh I'll do it.

I don't own Pokémon, only my OC's and plot. Rina and Blizz belong to my good friend GSlayer. Others will come in eventually.

Summary: With Stanley's loss at the Hoenn League, he wanted to go to Kanto, which happened to be Mike's next Location to try and keep safe from Engulfing Shadows' control. Along with Rina, he'll travel across Kanto, fighting to get into the Indigo League. And, to keep Kanto safe. But with Taisetsu as his lover, he has to be careful, or they may be separated for their love, for Kanto looks heavily down on Pokephilia. Can Stanley get through all this, and still fight two battles at once? Find out in Arc 3 of the Arceus Assassin, the Kanto Arc!

Chapter 1: We Begin Again.

Time: 9:28am

I looked myself in the mirror, I had on my new outfit he bought the day before. It was inspired by the Lati Bow in a way. It was a blue vest with a silver colored inside, blue jeans, White T-shirt with the red parts of Latias showing on the front, and of course, my Latios Necklace.

-You look very cute in the new clothes.- Taisetsu said. I looked to her and she was smiling. I chuckled and rubbed the back of my head.

"Thanks Tai." I said walking over to her. I was about to kiss her when Lily came in.

"Hiya Stanley! Nice new outfit!" She said smiling as her dark green eyes shined when she brushed her brunette hair away from them. She was wearing the outfit I got for her as well. It was a black jacket with no sleeves that was open and a grey T-shirt with a Poke Ball on the front and back black shorts tipped with red.

"I'd say the same but you picked it out." Stanley said. Lily nodded and hugged me.

"Thank you for buying it!" She said. I hugged my little sister back.

"No problem." I said, smiling. She let go and ran out of the room. I took a deep breath and sighed.

"It feels like I'm starting over." I said.

-Yet you still have us.- Taisetsu said. I looked to her and kissed her, which she returned. I pulled back and nodded.

"Right, let's go." I said and walked down the stairs, where my mom and dad were waiting.

"Good luck, and hey, win this time alright?" My dad said. My mom walked over and gave me a hug.

"Be safe Stanley." She said. I hugged her back and pulled back with a smile.

"I will." I said. I looked to my dad and gave him a nod as Lily came down, two Poke Balls on her belt and Zack in her arms.

"Let's go already!" Lily shouted. "I already said good bye I wanna see Johto!" I shook my head and opened the door, and Lily ran out, and I followed with Taisetsu.

"HEY!" I heard a yell and we all turned to see Rina with her new clothing. She had a white Jacket with stripes coming from the should diagonally before going down straight, two on each side and are next to each other. The outer stripes are green, the inner stripes are blue. The stripes on the right side connect with the stripes on the pants, which have the same coloration as the jacket, and stripes on the right side only. Her hair is shorter, nearly to a boys standard, and a tuft comes down and slightly covers her right eye.

"Rina! Why the hair cut?" I asked as Rina and Blizz got to them.

"Felt like it was time." She said shrugging. I nodded.

"Okay, we have to get to the port town, so, let's fly!" I shouted throwing up Latios' and Kalos's balls, they opened revealing the two dragons.

"Kytt, time for some flying!" Rina shouted and her Tropius appeared.

"Lily, get on Latios." I said getting on Kalos, Taisetsu behind me. Lily nodded and hopped on.

[Not so fast guys, I'm not as sleek as you.] Kytt said getting airborne.

"Take it slow guys, we have all morning." I said as Kalos took to the skies and the others followed. Mie had given us the directions we needed to the small port town.

"I'm riding on a Legendary Pokémon WOOOOO!" Lily screamed happily.

Rina and I laughed at her excitement, she had the biggest smile on her face as we flew towards the port town.

"I think she'll have a great adventure huh?" I asked Rina flying a bit closer to her. Rina nodded.

"Yeah, she'll have a ton of fun!" She shouted over the wind. I looked to my sister, and smiled. She was holding Zack, who had a big smile on his face as well.

"Yeah." I said with a nod.

-(o)- Time: 11:56am

We all landed, returning our flying Pokémon and ran to the ship. We had actually made a wrong turn at a point, and were late.

"Oh crap, come on!" I shouted as we sprinted to the boat. We saw Mike.

"Ahh, here they come. There are their tickets." Mike said handing them to the man as we arrived.

"Made it." I sighed.

"I take it you got lost?" Mike asked walking on the boat. We followed him.

"Yeah, because of Stanley." Rina said.

"Well excuse me if I heard wrong!" I shouted back.

"Oh hush! Just enjoy the boat ride!" Lily said running on the boat. Rina and I looked at each other, and shrugged. We got on the boat and already saw Cassidy lounging in her silver colored clothing.

"Just take a load off guys, we have all day before we actually land in Kanto. We should arrive late at night, I assume . . . eightish." He said smiling.

"Jeez that's a long ride." I said. Mike shrugged.

"Kanto to Sinnoh is longer."

"By the way, how is Lily gonna get to New Bark Town?" Rina asked.

"I'll just ride on Midnight! She's pretty fast!" Lily said looking out as the boat started leaving.

"In the morning, we still have to get these two signed in at Kanto, and you may as well meet Professor Oak." Mike said.

"Wait really, you're gonna take us to see Oak?" I asked.

"Mhmm, plus he can give us a place to stay." He said smiling.

"Awesome!" Rina said with a little jump.

"For now, just relax." Cassidy said.

And we did just that. Rina and Blizz stared at the ocean, I sat and talked to Taisetsu, mostly about how we would hide our relationship in Kanto. Mike was a lazy guy and fell asleep almost instantly. Lily just played with Zack. A calm boat ride from what had been taking place recently.

-(ooo)- Time: 2:34pm, Location: ES Kanto HQ, POV: Snow, 3rd Person

Snow walked into the base with a sigh. She missed Danny.

"Cheer up Snow, you can talk to him on video phone." Emily said with a smile as she walked by.

"Still not the same." She said following her new boss. Still a step up from James.

"You get used to it Snow, just be happy you can see him." Emily said smiling. Snow sighed.

"I guess you're right Emily." She said, her lips curling into a small smile. "Thanks."

"Hey, us Admins take care of our own, you'll be fine, now to get to work on earning Kanto's trust. These guys rely heavily on the government, for whatever reason. So if we have their trust, we'll be fine." Emily said with a slight smirk. The plan was coming up already. Team Rocket was nothing to them. And they knew it.

-(ooo)- Time: 8:09pm, Location: Vermillion City, POV: Stanley, 1st person.

After the boat arrived, we all got off and looked around the pier.

"Kanto already looks nice." I said smiling. Mike nodded.

"Now, we should get to Professor Oak's lab, that way he can get you two registered and everything." Mike said and teleported all of us without warning.

"Tell us next time!" Rina said. Mike ignored it and knocked on the door, and it opened, revealing Gary Oak, or better known as Professor Oak, the other having retired five years ago.

"Mike! How've ya been man!?" He greeted with a smile.

"I've been great Gary. And you?" He asked.

"Good, so, what's with the party?" He asked. "Waaiit, aren't you Stanley Zenex?" He asked me.

"Um, yeah, that's me." I replied.

"Wow, never thought I'd meet ya, it must have been an honor to battle Mike." He said.

"You give me too much credit Gary." Mike said chuckling. "Now, they want to battle here and need to register and such. Can you do that?" He asked. Gary nodded and let us in and sat at a computer.

"I'll need your ID's." He said. Rina and I gave him our ID and soon, we were in.

"You guys are set, wait, what about her?" He asked Lily.

"I'm going to Johto with Zack!" She said cheerfully. Gary's eyes widened a bit at the sight of Zack. He nodded regardless and looked to Mike, who shrugged.

"Okay . . . I'll call Elm, in the meantime, make yourself at home." He said and called up Elm as we left.

"Tomorrow we separate once more." Mike said.

"Kinda odd after we just came together." Rina said.

[It'll be for the best, Mike draws too much media.] Taisetsu said giggling.

"Oh shut up." He said chuckling.

"I just want to go to Johto! I think I'll have so much fun!" Lily said hopping up and down with excitement.

"So much energy." Blizz said laughing.

"She's just excited." Cassidy said smiling.

-(o)- POV: Gary.

"You're kidding! No way!" Elm shouted to Gary.

"I'm not kidding, the egg that never hatched, hatched! And into a Shadow Pokémon, a natural Shadow Pokémon!" Gary said.

"Wow, and she'll be taking on the League here." Elm said.

"You can't deny her, Shadow Pokémon or not, it's still a Pokémon, legal and all. Because it was a natural birth, it can be a very powerful force." Gary said nodding.

"I wish I could study it, but it's hers, I can't do anything." Elm said.

"We all would Elm. But you're right. We can't do much." Gary said leaning back.

"Well, I'll get prepped for her. Thanks for the heads up Gary. Good luck on your research." Elm said before hanging up. Gary sighed.

"Ever since I took this job the world's been getting crazier. Ash and saving the world before it was crazy enough. Now we have a guy who has beaten almost everyone who battled him, a second rising, Natural Shadow Pokémon, sheesh." He said sighing.

-(o)- Time: 10:34pm, POV: Stanley

I stood near the window, looking at the moon, a crescent moon. I sighed as he thought of what I was doing.

'Battling the league, hiding love, and ES . . . hell this'll be annoying.'

[You okay?] Taisetsu asked walking next to me.

"Yeah Tai. Just thinking of what we have to do." I said.

[We'll be fine, I promise.] She said smiling at me.

"I should be saying that to you, but thanks." I said smiling back.

[We should get some sleep. After all, we have a day ahead of us and need to get to the next city for a Gym Battle.] She said. I looked at her and nodded.

"Thanks Tai." I said quickly kissing her lips. Taisetsu blushed a bit.

[No problem, now let's get some sleep.] She said and we lied down on the bed and held each other as we drifted off.

DWA: OKAY! I did rush this because I felt bad but, I will work hard on the next. Soon , OC's will be shown. Plus, I know the chapter is short, it's meant to be short. Again, OC's soon, and I'm back.

Feels good to be back.
