My first story and if even one person reads this it will make my year (i'm not joking)

I'm still in school so my grammar might be a bit off but I hope you guys/ghosts/tumble-weeds will find it onix-ceptable haha (I'm sorry)

So without further ado….

I roared with pain as Dialga shot me with a crystal blue beam. It hit me full force and I went flying like a weak pidgey out of his temple. Stupid Dragon Pulse! I thought. I sensed something big and powerful coming straight for me, and I quickly leapt out of the way just as a Draco Meteor exploded next to me. Dialga stood in the doorway to his Temple, eyes flaring, spikes raised.

"And the next time you try to steal my Time orb, I'll do far worse than this!" he roared, and I had to leap away from a swipe from one of his massive paws that was enhanced by the power of Dragon Claw. I raced away, and leapt through the rift in space that my friend, an Alakazam, had helped me open.

The Time Orb would let me go back in time, stop them. They'd taken him and he was all that I'd ever lived for. My master, Finn. For decades, we'd been inseparable. He raised my from a small Riolu, and I'd taught him how to use Aura. He'd given me a home and a best friend, my only family. But I awoke hundreds of years later with him long dead.

I needed him back.

But there was no way I was getting Dialga's Time Orb. There was nothing else I could do. Nothing else could travel back through time, leave alone coming back again.

I leapt through space, coming back to earth in the middle of a desert. I recognised it and smiled. Then a frown came over my face, as something niggled at my senses.

Of course!

Celebi, the Voice of the Forest! The Pokemon of Time Travel!

Nobody had seen Celebi for years, save for the trees and a quick visit to Dialga to talk time business. Dialga may be the Keeper of Time, but Celebi was the Traveller.

But how to find her? Her Aura was very strong, but far too well cloaked for me to detect. How would I find her? More importantly, how would I convince her to sing, and take me back in time?

Too many questions. I wanted answers. Mysteries annoyed me. They were made to be solved.

I dashed through the forest, and on my way past a sparkling river, I sensed Suicune's aura. I decided not to stop by, though, because she had a habit of reading people's thoughts, and I thought it best to not let her know what I had planned.

I kept running. All this thought of Finn and all the running I was doing was making me remember the first time I met him...

I fell to the ground, my body throbbing. I had just received a beating from a wild gallade. I had managed to get some berries; it was winter and food was scarce. The little food you could find, you had to be strong enough to protect, and me, being a young Riolu with no Mema, I just couldn't. I curled up under the cherry tree I had collapsed under. I was freezing. It was winter and pokemon without a place to go and food to eat in winter died, that would be me soon. Time passed... how much I wasn't sure. I was in too much pain. I heard a gasp and the sound of feet sinking into snow, and I was lifted up. I managed to open my eyes and I saw a small boy. He couldn't have been older than 7 years old. He had honey brown hair and green eyes with a kind face. He was human. He would kill me, all of them would. If you weren't a psychic type then you were dead. The village around here only accepted psychic types. "Are you alright, little guy?" he asked "I… um… I..." I drifted off.

I woke under soft material and I was warm, which was a welcome change. "Where am I?"

"Ssshhhh..." I heard a human voice say, a somewhat familiar voice at that. "I'm not allowed to bring pokemon that aren't psychic to the village". "Oh. I'm at this village…" I said, a little disoriented. "I have to leave now. They'll kill me... They'll kill me."

Even though he could not understand what I was saying, he must have understood my distress because he said "Ok, ok... shh... You're not the one who will get in trouble, ok? I just couldn't leave you to die. Here... take this," he said, putting an old satchel around my neck. I looked at him quizzically, but he just smiled. "It's some food I managed to steal from my family. Here, this way." He opened a window. I jumped out and ran into the woods, determined not to lose this food too.

I saw the young boy more and more as time passed. I learned about him and he learned what he could about me. It was hard though, because he didn't understand what I was saying. But that would change in time, once I evolved. But we became friends. Finn became my only friend.

I was snapped back to reality. Ugh, this is pointless! I thought. I can't find her. But no, I can't give up! Finn is counting on me! But Celebi seemed impossible to find... and Arceus knows where she is.

This is no use, I thought. It's probably best if I go back to Dialga's temple… Then I felt something rustle behind me. I turned around and grabbed my tail, and looked in the crook of it. I saw a map.

Huh? I thought, and picked it up and looked at it. It was old and faded and had a weathered, thin map of all the regions on it. It was entitled, "The Map of Time," and on it was two names and dates: Celebi, 1778. Dialga, Unknown.

As I watched, the unknown under Dialga's name turned to 1778. That meant… it couldn't be a coincidence. Dialga was coming to see Celebi! There was no way I could sense Celebi's Aura, but maybe I could sense Dialga's…
