Hey guys!
So, here is that 'class project' that I was talking about on my profile... Journeys.
A few VERY IMPORTANT things before we start, however.
1) This was copied directly from Google Docs, which means that any bold, italic, etc. words were reverted back to normal.
2) Back when I first wrote this, I was fairly new to the whole Pokemon thing. Therefore, I BADLY SCREWED UP THE ATTACKS. I used TMs/HMs at the start, for example, and just... ugh, I'm just too lazy to fix it. :L
3) This is NOT IN THE OFFICIAL POKEMON UNIVERSE, and this DOES NOT FOLLOW NORMAL POKEMON RULES. For example, there are sections in the story where more than 1 attack is used in 1 move.
3.5) This story is also NOT IN THE OFFICIAL WE BARE BEARS UNIVERSE. If I do write another WBB story (which, let's face it, it'll probably happen eventually), the bears will probably act slightly different there than in this story (more specifically, a certain one of them, which will become BLATANTLY OBVIOUS which one it is after reading this story ;D)
4) I placed this in the "We Bare Bears" category first rather than the "Pokemon" category first because I felt that, espescially in the final act, the story focuses more on the "We Bare Bears" side than the "Pokemon" side of things... at least, starting at the former Chapter 6.
5) I started writing this back in November (yes, the same year that I released the first 9 chapters of Fanatic) so this is NOT MY BEST WORK... at least, the first act isn't my best work. I 'finished' this in May, so there's that, I guess.
6) Some (more like MOST) of the chapters were too short in my opinion, so I merged them. For example, Chapter 1 was just a merge between Chapter 1 and the former Chapter 2 from Google Docs!
7) And, lastly, one of the MOST IMPORTANT PARTS OF THIS DISCLAIMER - this story needed MASSIVE editing in order to apply to Fanfiction... well, that's a bit of an exaggeration, but dag-nabbit it needed some editing! For god sakes, I used a freaking SONG in the former Chapter 7! Yikes!
With that said, here we go! Journeys by Chappeh (me)!

"Are you guys sure about this?" Jeremy asked the duo.
"Yes, we are. Just get some fossils and leave!" Jacob said, rushing inside the museum.
Jeremy looked at Dylan, who just shook his head and walked inside. Jeremy followed shortly after.
This was the museum dedicated to extinct Pokemon, and their fossils. Weird, I know.
"Come on, let's get some fossils! Go, go, go!" Jacob said, grabbing and snatching fossils into his inventory. Jeremy and Dylan followed pursuit, and collected some fossils. Little did they know what this would cause to happen to them.
"What fossils did we get?" Jeremy asked.
"I don't know, we'll find out when we get out! Let's go!" Jacob yelled back, as he climbed out of a broken window.
"I'm really not sure about this, dude." Jeremy turned to Dylan, to which he replied.
"Neither am I, but Jacob's the boss, and he knows what he's doing." He said this as he climbed out of the window. Jeremy followed pursuit. "I hope."
As they hopped out and back to their base, Jacob greeted them with a smile and a wave.
"Hey guys! Glad you got back in one piece. Now, let's see what fossils you got!"
Before they could react, Jacob took Jeremy's fossils first.
"Hm… these look like Aerodactyl's fossils! Here, take an Aerodactyl Mega-Stone. It'll help turn it back to normal."
"Hold on, I thought mega-stones just helped Pokemon evolve, not revive them!" Jeremy said.
"Too bad, the public doesn't know everything I guess." Jacob replied, and Dylan nodded his head.
Jacob examined Dylan's fossils, and got him a Kabuto. Going back to Jeremy's fossils, he found that Jeremy had gotten an Omanyte. With that, they took off in search of who knows where!

"So recently, my friend Sam got this odd Pikachu…" Jacob said during a conversation they were having. This finally peaked Jeremy's interest, as the rest of the conversation had just been gobbledygook about the next tournament.
"Whaddya mean, Jacob?" Jeremy asked, also confused about an 'odd Pikachu'. He thought it might've been that one Pokemon that pretends to be a Pikachu from the Aloha Region, but they couldn't be here - we were in a flipping forest!
"Well, it had like black skin instead of yellow, and it's eyes were green… it was odd, I won't lie." Jacob replied, as he and Dylan continued to walk ahead. However, after a few seconds they realized that Jeremy was no longer following them. They went back and asked him:
"Dude, what's wrong?"
"Yeah, I thought you wanted to hatch your Aerodactyl! Oh, by the way, you're welcome for me taking you two there."
"Black Pikachu… green eyes…" Jeremy kept muttering to himself. Eventually, Jacob was sick of this, and shook his head until Jeremy snapped.
"THAT'S THE SAME THING THAT BURNED MY HOUSE DOWN!" Jeremy yelled, in a frenzied panic, which shocked Jacob and Dylan. They asked Jeremy for an explanation, which he most certainly gave.
"A few years back… before I was a Pokemon trainer, I used to always go on a walk through the woods in my home town. Everything was great, and I LOVED going on them, but then one day, as I was travelling through the woods, I spotted something in the shadows. At first, I thought it was just a Pikachu hiding in the shade, but as I got closer I realized it was a black-ish Pikachu with green eyes. Just as I was about to pass it, however, it snapped. It's eyes turned red and went straight after me. I ran back home and to my room. My parents asked me why I was so terrified, which was when I explained EVERYTHING. They upgraded their security system that very evening. Anyways, that night I woke up to smell something like a barbecue. When my eyes opened, though, all I saw was fire. I grabbed my favourite plushies and jumped out the window. I looked to my parents' side of the house, to find nobody. The firefighters showed up immediately, though. They took me inside the fire truck, so I never saw what happened. To this day, I still don't know if my parents survived or not. My anger and rage inspired me to become a Pokemon trainer… or so I thought. I also found out about the legend of this Pokemon a few days after the incident, and it goes something like this: In the woods, there lies a strange Pokemon. If you're a trainer and you see it, it won't attack you. In fact, it might even let you catch it! But, however, if you're not, it will come to your house that same night and either attack you or steal ALL your Pokemon, leaving you with nothing. However, on rare occasions, if your security is too powerful, it will BURN DOWN YOUR HOUSE INSTEAD!"
Jacob and Dylan were just… they couldn't even comprehend what they just heard.
"That is IT! We're going to find those woods, and find that Pokemon!" Jacob snapped, and ran off.
"Wait, Sam didn't catch it?" Jeremy asked, running after him whilst confused.
"Nope, he didn't catch it!" Dylan replied, running after Jacob AND Jeremy as well.

The trio walked along the woods for what seemed like AGES, until Jeremy pointed something out to the group.
"Guys, I think we found the woods where I saw the Pokemon!"
"Really, why do you think that?" Dylan asked.
"These woods look normal, right?" Jeremy asked Dylan and Jacob, whom both nodded their heads. "Well, look over there - do you see 2 completely barren trees?" They looked, and nodded yet again, signalling the fact that they seen the trees. "Well, I saw the 'Pikachu' right in between those trees!" Jacob and Dylan silently cheered, and ran towards the trees, with Jeremy following pursuit. Eventually, they found the two trees, and the 'Pikachu' as well.
"Guys, don't scare it away, m'kay?" Jeremy asked, quietly, to which Jacob and Dylan agreed. Suddenly, the 'Pikachu' ran off into the trees. The trio couldn't find it. However, Jacob looked into the distance and said:
"Is that a Pokemon or a trainer?" Dylan suddenly froze at this remark, and OH BOY Jeremy and Jacob noticed this.
"I-i-it's n-n-n-n-neither…" Jeremy and Jacob waited for Dylan's response, and when it came, they too froze dead in their tracks.
"It's… it's… IT'S THE GUARDIAN OF THE WOODS!"
The trio all once thought that it was a silly myth, or a stupid legend, or some kind of ridiculous rumour… NOT ANYMORE.
As the Guardian came closer, they could only say one word…
"RRRUUUNNN!"
They ran for their lives down the trail, yet every step it seemed like the Guardian was getting CLOSER. They ran and ran until they had no more energy. They thought they were done for, until Jeremy came up with an idea.
"GUYS! USE YOUR POKEMON!"
Jacob and Dylan reacted fast, pulling out their Pokeballs and summoning their Pokemon.
Jeremy = "AERODACTYL, I CHOOSE YOU!"
Jacob = "SOLGALEO, I CHOOSE YOU!"
Dylan = "CRESSELIA, I CHOOSE YOU!"
All 3 of the Pokemon came out at once, which freaked the Guardian out. But, however, he had another plan in mind. "MEGA MEWTWO X, I CHOOSE YOU!" He shouted.
The trio, as well as the Pokemon, all froze in shock at this sudden appearance. Mega Mewtwo X!? But, how!? That… THING… had long been gone and held away by the government! But, before they could react, the Guardian reached his hand to the right, and… a screen appeared? It showed all the Pokemon's health.
Aerodactyl = 364%
Solgaleo = 478%
Cresselia = 444%
Mega Mewtwo X = 416%
Once again, the Guardian surprised the group, by attacking first.
"MEGA MEWTWO X, USE Hyper Beam!"
It ran straight after Solgaleo, and the screen updated.
Aerodactyl = 364%
Solgaleo = 328%
Cresselia = 444%
Mega Mewtwo X = 416%
"NOOO!" Jacob yelled. "SOLGALEO, USE Giga Impact!"
Immediately, the screen updated after a mere "OW!" was heard throughout the woods.
Aerodactyl = 364%
Solgaleo = 328%
Cresselia = 444%
Mega Mewtwo X = 266%
The Guardian immediately screamed, and yelled "MEGA MEWTWO X, USE Solar Beam!"
Solgaleo took half the damage, whilst Cresselia took the other half.
Aerodactyl = 364%
Solgaleo = 268%
Cresselia = 384%
Mega Mewtwo X = 266%
"Oh good grief…" Jeremy muttered. "AERODACTYL, USE Flamethrower!"
Aerodactyl attacked quickly, dealing damage to the powerful Pokemon.
Aerodactyl = 364%
Solgaleo = 268%
Cresselia = 384%
Mega Mewtwo X = 176%
"THAT'S ENOUGH, YOU FOOLS!" The Guardian screamed, nearly burning the trio's ears. "MEGA MEWTWO X, USE Blizzard!"
This attack WORKED. So much so that all the damage went straight to Solgaleo, and because of that…
Aerodactyl = 364%
Solgaleo = 158%
Cresselia = 384%
Mega Mewtwo X = 176%
Dylan was annoyed by what was happening. So, since his Pokemon had the most health, he used an extremely powerful attack.
"CRESSELIA, USE Dream Eater!"
Although it only did 100 damage, not only was the powerful creature almost dead, but the attack scarred it, too.
Aerodactyl = 364%
Solgaleo = 158%
Cresselia = 384%
Mega Mewtwo X = 76%
This was when the Guardian completely SNAPPED.
"ARRRGH! I HATE YOU ALL! MEGA MEWTWO X, USE Hyper Beam AGAIN!"
The Pokemon obliged quickly. Who knows, maybe it WANTED to do it. But, with that said, Solgaleo was the target once again.
Aerodactyl = 364%
Solgaleo = 8%
Cresselia = 384%
Mega Mewtwo X = 76%
"NOOO!" Jacob screamed. "SOLGALEO, COME BACK!"
…
…
…
But it never came back. Instead, without warning, it used up an attack without Jacob telling it to do so. It used Thunder, an attack with 70% accuracy, yet it also did a whopping 110% damage - more than enough to cause Mega Mewtwo X to faint - so it was a good choice. Or not.
Let's just say that it was both accurate and inaccurate at the same time. The attack did all 110 damage, causing Mega Mewtwo X to faint, but it also struck Solgaleo back, dealing 110 damage to it too.
Aerodactyl = 364%
Solgaleo = 0%
Cresselia = 384%
Mega Mewtwo X = 0%
The Guardian was outraged, and disappeared into the shadows whilst holding the legendary Pokemon. The trio, however, sat in silence. Solgaleo was gone, for good. Jacob's best Pokemon was gone.
"Oh… my… goodness… I feel bad for ya man." Jeremy said, walking towards the badly injured Pokemon.
"Same… but why and HOW did he do that?" Dylan replied to him.
"I… I don't know…" Jacob answered at first. "But I think… no… I KNOW that he did it for us… to keep US alive."
…
…
…
"Um… whaddya mean? WE'RE not in danger. THEY are." Jeremy replied, pointing at Solgaleo.
"No… no no no… that THING could've KILLED US!" Jacob yelled.
Jeremy and Dylan wanted no part in arguing. Instead, they wanted to pay respects to Solgaleo.
"I'll get the shovel… I guess…" Jeremy sighed, and went to grab a… well… shovel.
