>Chris arrived in the Forest of Seasons. Highly reminiscent of an old area he was familiar
>with, he searched all around, battling monsters which were barely a challenge. He also
>found a few empty Poke Balls in the area.
>
>"Hmmm, seems a few Poke Battles were fought here," said Chris. "I wonder who won and who
>lost."
>
>"You still have much to learn," said a voice from a tree."
>
>"Who are you?" asked Chris.
>
>"Agent Mana," said the voice. "You can come in, but you must come in peace, or the Mana
>Dragon will tear you apart before you have a chance."
>
>"I'll take it," said Chris. At that moment, a door boomed open from the pink tree.
>
>
>
>Chris walked into the tree and saw an older kid, about 17 or 18 sitting at a table with a
>pretty beefed-up computer.
>
>"Hello there Chris. I haven't properly introduced myself. I am Eric Mana, the last
>descendant of the Mana family."
>
>"Hello there, the name's Chris," Chris responded. "How are you doing today."
>
>"Not bad, Chris. I know you have came in reference to the Zenretsu situation."
>
>"What do you know about the Zenretsu situation?" asked Chris.
>
>"Well, I know he attacked Brosco and got the legendary Zapdos, so his Pokemon collection
>drives are complete."
>
>"Is there any way we can stop Zenretsu?" asked Chris.
>
>"He has to be faced, but not fought," said Mana. "If you fight Zenretsu, then the chance of
>the Demon and Demoness coming alive are greater.
>
>"The Demon and Demoness Zenretsu?" asked Chris.
>
>"Dann is the Key of Youth," said Eric Mana. "That is the source of all his psychic power.
>He was trained by someone you know very well: That's how come he can defeat anyone with
>ease."
>
>"Who else has the psychic powers he does?" asked Chris.
>"That belongs to someone you also know very well," said Eric.
>
>"I don't know," said Chris.
>
>"I won't tell you because it'll scare you, but you will find out soon enough."
>
>"Eric, please tell me who this person is."
>
>"Dann Zenretsu will tell you," said Eric. "That is, after you face him in battle."
>
>"I can't fight Dann. I'll get killed!" yelled Chris.
>
>"With your training, his psychic powers will be useless on you," said Eric. "You can stand
>a chance because he'll have to fight you physically; however, do not underestimate his
>athletic talent, or you will lose."
>
>"Do you know who trained him?" asked Chris.
>
>"I'm not exactly sure, but I have a good clue on it," said Eric.
>
>"The fiend," said Chris. "Using the Master Sema fighting style for evil: He should not be
>allowed to live."
>
>"He was brought up in Master So's school, not Master Sema's. His root beliefs are fixed and
>must be changed for us to have any success," said Eric.
>
>"But HOW do I beat Dann?" asked Chris. "He's already killed agents better than me!"
>
>"Not with physical skill, with psychic power," said Eric. "He can't use psychic power on
>you because your relation to some person will deflect it."
>
>"Still doesn't answer my question," asked Chris.
>
>"You have to move in-and-out, keep your eyes open for nasty kicks, and bang him as hard as
>you can," said Eric. "He's really strong, so you have to watch the hits you take."
>
>"I know, but if I fail, who fights him?" asked Chris.
>
>"I know who can, but he'd be really hard-pressed to do so," said Eric.
>
>"Any information on Dann Zenretsu's next strike?" asked Chris.
>
>"Well, he'll be after the Armor of Dragons next," said Eric. "That is located deep in the
>depths of Aktemto Mine.
>
>"AKTEMTO MINE? The poison gas is killer!" yelled Chris. "Dann would be nuts to go in
>there!"
>
>"Ol' Necro will protect him," said Eric. "You should be able to use that protection to your
>advantage."
>
>"But how do I get into Necro's army?" asked Chris.
>
>"Use your hockey stick," said Eric smiling. "Remember what James did, and act like you're a
>monster!" Then, secretly change back after Necro and company enters, and then confront
>Zenretsu."
>
>"But he's got three friends," said Chris.
>
>"They're push-overs," said Eric. "One's a strongman, one's a wrestler, and the other can't
>take a hit. Dann's your real worry."
>
>"That Emmanuel can take out anyone!" yelled Chris.
>
>"Emmanuel, strike and stay middle," said Eric. "He won't expect you to go full force with
>that stick."
>
>"You're so smart," said Chris. "I never even thought of that!"
>
>"You don't have much time," said Eric. "You have to go, while I find out the location of
>the Sword of Truth. Also, go back to base after your fight with Zenretsu. You'll find out
>who the real killer is behind the Heroes Committee."
>
>"WHAT?" asked Chris.
>
>"It's all I know, now go before Zenretsu gets away with the Armor of Dragons and you don't
>get a clue at all!" yelled Eric.
>
>"OK, OK!" said Chris as he transported to Aktemto.
