Kalos was a vast, wonderful region, filled with happy people and pokemon alike. Vibrant cities, plentiful farmlands, whimsical forests and beautiful beaches all throughout for everyone to enjoy. But even in such a lovely region, there lies a dark mystery that the natives didn't like to talk about.
The Chamber of Emptiness was a phenomenon in itself. However, what really made it stand out in the minds of Kalosians was the Legend held within its dark walls.
Once a year, if a passerby were to enter the Chamber at sunset on the day that splits the year in half, precisely, it is said that they are spirited away to another reality, only a single item left where they once stood in the Chamber.
Or so the Legend goes. No one had ever returned to explain what really happens...

It was a warm summer evening along Route 22. The sun was setting, painting the sky with rich pinks and oranges. There was a calmness in the air as the creatures of the day got ready to settle in for nightfall. All but those who approached the well known Chamber on that specific night, with only one thing on their mind.
16 year old Kantonian, Georgie Bernard, was one of them. Georgie was well known in her hometown of Kanto for managing to defeat all of the gym leaders despite only having fire type pokemon, beating the odds stacked against her with her creative tactics and incredibly strong bond with each of her pokemon. Though she was still unable to beat the Elite Four. This loss devastated her after all her years of hard work and endless training. After some time to sulk, and an important short-lived friendship with a kind soul that helped her recover, she decided she would take a break from the life of a trainer and explore outside of her region for inspiration on what she wanted to do next. Through this journey, she'd chased a few legends and enjoyed the hunt. It was new and exciting.
And thus, here she was, staring into the dark abyss that was the entrance to the Chamber of Emptiness. A determined look was etched into her features, and an equally determined Flareon stood at her side. She looked down at her trusted companion, just as he looked up at her.
"This is it Pepper. The Chamber of Emptiness. Looks spooky..." She sighed, forelorned. "Reminds me of Ami..."
She dug into her sporty crossbody bag, pulling out a small pokeball shaped music box. She opened it, instantly smiling as the familiar tune began to play. Inside there was a picture of her family. Her mother and father, and her two sisters. It helped to calm her in times of need. This item was given to her by her mother when she turned 10 as she was getting ready to go out into the world and become the best pokemon trainer she could be. She still remembered that day like it was yesterday, and a great sadness settled in the pit of her stomach when she thought of...
She blinked a few times and snapped out of it, closing the music box and gently placing it back in her bag. Now was not the time to get distracted with sad memories. Pepper tilted his head, empathetic. Not a word needed to be spoken, as everything he wanted to say danced in his green eyes. She smiled at him and picked him up, hugging him tightly, earning a purr of happiness.
"You always know just what to say Pepper! Now let's go see what this stupid cave's got to offer!" She announced confidently. Pepper released a few small fire sparks from his mouth as he chirped in excited agreement, jumping back down. Side by side, they entered the Chamber.
Inside was dark, having no way to gain natural light. She looked to Pepper who instantly nodded. He breathed out slowly, making a small flame to light up the empty cave. Georgie looked around, spotting some old torches hanging along the walls. She grabbed them and lit them with Pepper's breath, then hung them back on the wall, a plentiful amount of dancing fire now lighting the cave. The shaking of the flames made twisting shadows and highlights along the uneven, rocky walls.
"That's better!" Georgie smiled. From the corner of her eye, she noticed something shining. Taking a closer look, she realized there were several items littered about the cave.
A bronze pocket watch.
A microphone that looked like it was used quite often.
A capsule containing mysterious pokeballs. One being a luxury ball and the other being a primer ball. One item to be shared between two people, maybe?
A pristine camera, still in it's case. There seems to be a note tucked inside it. Perhaps a note of who it may belong to?
A beautiful twine necklace, looking hand made, with psychic, ghost and dark charms.
