A Shocking Turn of Events
http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/ee170/toys4life2/Hidden%20Valley%20Ranch/Chapter3-Animated.gif
This storm is like none I have ever seen…
As Nana Nettie and I entered Fuego Ironworks, the first thing we noticed was that there was a yellow, pulsing light coming from down the hall. Odd since it looked like the rest of the factory had lost power due to the storm. When we reached the end of the long hallway, to our surprise we discovered that a pack of young Shinx had also found shelter from the storm within this iron structure and had a Light Ball in their possession.
As we approached the little Shinx I could see they were frightened of us, or at least that is what I thought. You see when a Shinx senses danger it’s fur begins to shine. In actuality what the Shinx really feared was the group of Shuppets creeping up from behind us with their gaze focused on stealing the Light Ball. Before I could turn around and attack, the Shuppets Sucker Punched both Nana Nettie and I; knocking us out cold.
…I’m not sure how long I was out. When I awoke I found myself a prisoner of the Shuppets, but I wasn’t alone. Sitting along beside me were Nana Nettie and Momtaro. We were all tied up like Tangelas. I guess the Shuppets ambushed Momtaro as well once she reached the Ironworks. Things were not looking good for the three of us.
The front doors of the Ironworks slowly creaked open and a single person stood in the entry way. The unexpected stranger was illuminated only by the numerous lightning strikes behind him.
"Look what we have here…TRESPASSERS!"
…LuxRAY!!!!
Out of nowhere an enormous booming impact hit the opposite side of the factory causing the entire outer wall to crumble. The gusting winds from the storm quickly blew in dispersing the dust to reveal the stranger’s Pokémon. As the destructive Luxray entered the main room it gave a vicious roar and a half a dozen thunderbolts came crashing through the roof of the factory completely shattering all of the glass windows in the building. The Shuppets found themselves trapped, a mysterious Trainer to the left of them, his insanely powerful Luxray to the right, and the mammoth storm looming overhead.
With all of the recent distractions the Shuppets were no longer paying any attention to us. With the Shuppets distracted the little Shinx that we had seen earlier returned to the help us out. Quickly they chewed through the ropes that were holding us at bay. Rubbing our wrists we got to our feet and prepared to assist the stranger and his Luxray. He calmly waved his hand at us telling us not to bother and that he would handle this. Is this guy nuts? I mean sure his entrance was flashy and his Luxray is justifiably strong but he’s out numbered 20 to 1. Sensing our lack of confidence in his abilities the stranger pulled out a Light Ball of his own and shined it upon his face.
It was…NikolaTesla!
I knew of him only by reputation. NikolaTesla was the son of Mr. Stone, President of The Devon Corporation. He had once been the champion in the Hoenn region but then one day, with no explanation, he relinquished his title and just disappeared. Some say that he stepped down because his hunger for power had caused conflict with the other elites. Others say that he only became the champion in an attempt to impress his father who was too busy running Devon Corporation to even notice what his son had accomplished.
Either way I was no longer worried about NikolaTesla being able to handle the Shuppets on his own; in fact I was more worried about us and our own safety. Between the storm outside and Luxray inside I wasn’t sure how much more damage this structure could take. NikolaTesla held his Light Ball up high for all the Shuppets to see. Unable to control their thieving natures the Shuppets started to charge towards him. He stood there motionless as a tidal wave of darkness flowed toward him. ..
LuxRAY!!!
...Hyper Beam.
I swear I saw his Luxray grin before it opened its mouth and released an intense beam of light. Starting from behind the group of Shuppets the beam ripped through everything in its path including the buildings support beams only to end its destructive power inches from his master. The Shuppets stopped in their tracks and braced themselves for the attack, but as the beam phased right threw them they remember that Hyper Beam was a normal attack and had no effect on them. The Shuppets began to laugh at the fact that a normal attack was use on them but then NikolaTesla looked at us with a devilish grin and then said only 6 words…
“I’d run if I were you”…then he turned and walked out the door.
The weight of the structure could no longer be supported by the remaining support beams and the entire building was going to come down. There was no way that we were gonna make it out in time but once again the group of little Shinx returned to us to aid us in our escape. Even though they were tiny these Shinx were quick as could be. Before we could even react the Shinx huddle around us and carried us out of the ironworks just as the last support beam gave way and the entire structure caved in on itself. The Shuppets were not as lucky, they were so busy chuckling that they didn’t see the walls collapsing in on them and they were all KO’d by the falling debris.
We had survived the complete destruction of Fuego Ironwork only to find ourselves outside in a horrible storm. Then as if it was a miracle the storm began to calm down, the clouds cleared, the sun came out, and it was a beautiful day once again. I wouldn’t have believed the sudden weather change if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes.
So!…What were you trespassers doing in my building?
Trespassers? Your Building? What was he talking about?
NikolaTesla explained to us that his father had recently purchased the Ironworks from Mr. Fuego. The Ironworks had been the only competition that the Devon Corporation had in refining iron ore and mechanical part manufacturing. He continued to explain that his father intended to shut down the iron works so Nik decided he would visit the facility before it was demolished…then he chuckled and murmured something under his breath.
Realizing that we were all looking at him he cleared his throat and began to speak again. This time he spoke about his plans for the ironworks. “I’ve been thinking about building a new facility here and I would like to invite all of you to be my partners in this new venture.” We were dumbfounded. The iron works had just been demolished and he was already talking about constructing a new building, and he wanted our help. “What do you need our help for?” I asked
“Well for starters, toys4life, you are a factory head aren’t you? I could really use your help to create a state of the art facility. I was thinking of opening up a ranch where I can breed Pokémon in peace and quiet. This hidden away valley in the Sinnoh region should be perfect. Nana Nettie…Momtaro…this invitation is extended to the both of you as well. Nana Nettie your compassion for the care of baby Pokémon is unmatched, and Momtaro your adventurous spirit and unique skills would be an asset to this farm…I only hope that you have matured since our last encounter.”
As we stared at each other I thought back to the day’s events…
My plane…TOTALED!
Nanak’s Playground…GONE!
The Chansey’s performance…RUINED!
Fuego Ironworks…DEMOLISHED!
After witnessing so much destruction and sadness in one day I didn’t give Nik’s offer much thought…I didn’t have to, it was one of the funniest days of my life!
I’M IN!
ME TOO!
ME THREE!
NikolaTesla smiled and said “It’s settled then, the construction of the Hidden Valley Ranch will begin immediately!”
As we all laughed and discussed ideas for the new farm, we failed to notice that one Shuppet had freed itself from the prison of iron and stone debris that his fellow brothering were still trapped beneath. The Shuppet burst out of the rubble and stole NikolaTesla’s Light Ball!!! It looked like the Shuppet might actually get away with this last thieving act but as Nik began to call for his Luxray, one of the little Shinx from the factory leap out and sunk it’s fangs into the Shuppet. The little Shinx had frozen the dastardly Pokémon in its tracks. The Shinx then picked up the Light Ball and returned it to Nikola Tesla.
Nik looked down at the Shinx as the other Shinx in the pack began to approach. “You Shinx are very impressive. Since I am partly to blame for the destruction of your home, I promise to find you all new homes. Surely our friends at the Pokefarm would be more than happy to help out such an Adamant pack of Shinx. From what my Luxray and I have observed, all of you Shinx have the skills to use Spark, Ice Fang, Quick Attack, and Howl. Since you were nice enough to return my stolen property I find it only fitting to give each of you the TM 27-Return!

Please post your requests to adopt one of these little Shinx and leave your Name and Friend Code so NikolaTesla, Momtaro, Nana Nettie or I can contact you.
Thanks in advance for all your help!
