AN: Hey people, there are two things I'd like to clear up: Firstly, this is my first crossover so I don't expect it to be perfect. Second, some of the events and characters mentioned in the story belong to Waterlily12, I'll mention when that is. On that note, I'd like to give a special thanks to Waterlily12 for allowing me to write a sequel to her story.

Disclaimer: I do not own Pokémon, all rights go to their respective owners.

Chapter 1: Unexpected Guests

It was a normal day in Almia; the sun was shining and everything was peaceful.

Well, almost everything…

In the Vien Forest, a young brunette with her hair tied in two almost spiky balls was being chased by a flock of Tailow. She ducked under a branch but was quickly sent tumbling into a bush by a root belonging to the same tree. Sighing in relief, Kate slowly stood up as the tiny swallow pokémon flew past, not noticing her. She glanced around a little more before walking out of the vegetation and onto the path. She brushed herself off and began to walk north, hoping to find her partner, Kellyn. The two of them had been separated after Kate took a wrong turn, ended up interrupting the feeding of a small group of Tailow and ended up being chased by them after getting close. Needless to say, the brunette was now hopelessly lost. A Pikachu ran past in terror, followed by several more. Kate looked in the direction they had came from and saw Kellyn in the distance, recognisable by his identical hair and eye colour, as well as the matching ranger uniform, looking at her and gesturing for her to go to him. She cast a glance back before rushing off to see what had frightened the pokémon. "Kate!" Kellyn called before rolling his eyes and rushing after her.

The duo stopped at a crater that definitely wasn't there the day before. There were for figures, each of them dressed differently. One of them was wearing a suit of medieval armour, golden in colour and decorated with an eagle design on the helmet. He also had a matching bow and some arrows on his back. The next, somehow being the complete opposite, wore spiked black and red armour. The helmet covered his face and, while the upper arms of the previous were visible, this person was covered completely by the armour. He carried a sword and dagger, the latter being held in a reverse grip. There was also a crossbow on his back. All of these shared the colours and frightening designs. The third was wearing black robes with a skull design. He looked unarmed. The last was by far the strangest. For a start, he was a bipedal black cat with human-like hands dressed in leather clothes, brown in colour and looking pretty suspicious, like the creature was about to steal everything the others owned. He was carrying a silver dagger in one of his hands.

The cat spoke, "J'Dhato smells something… Unfamiliar."

The man with the robes scoffed, "Really? The prince of madness has transported us to another realm and you smell something new, I wonder why."

"Shut it, both of you," the black armoured man told his two bickering companions with a deep, inhuman voice, "And if you don't, then pray to Azura that the the locals are friendly when I leave you both here to rot."

The golden armoured man sighed before reminding the other three, "Might I remind you that we won't get back home if we spend the eternity that we don't have arguing."

The robed man opened his mouth to speak but shut it wordlessly as soon as the black armoured man looked over at him. Kate took a step forward, only to stand on a twig. The sound echoed surprisingly loudly through the area and caught the attention of the four men. The black armoured man looked to the archer by his side and told him, "Agaron, let's see if you can handle this before I has to hurt someone."

Agaron, or so he appeared to be called, took a step forward and called out, "Whoever you are, we are not your enemies. Do not be afraid."

'Seems legit' Kellyn thought only to raise a brow as Kate stepped forward and gave a childish wave to the people, earning a polite bow from the archer, who then stood upright and introduced himself and the others, "I am Agaron of Valenwood. These are my companions: Dathin Velenur of Morrowind, J'Dhato of Elsweyr and Stresl Maciell of High Rock."

"Um… N-nice to meet you," Kate replied, shaking slightly, "I-I'm Kate Hitomi a-and this is… Kellyn?" She turned to see that the other brunette wasn't by her side. Smiling slightly when he did reveal himself, she continued, "And this is Kellyn Hajime." Kellyn did little more than look over at the small, oddly dressed and mostly armed gathering. Dathin, the 'Black Knight' as Kate was tempted to call him, sheathed his blades and looked at the sun. He spoke in his inhumanly… Strange… Voice, "The sun is setting and the moons will be out soon, we should find shelter."

"Moons? But there's only one," Kate chimed in, sounding confused, "And do you have a cold? Your voice sounds a little off…"

"Of course," Dathin murmered, "I forget that this is an entirely different realm-" he spoke at a normal volume again "-I'm sorry, and I am perfectly fine."

"But-" Kate replied before being cut off by Kellyn, who asked, "I heard you mention a 'prince of madness' and being from another realm, care to explain?"

This time it was Stresl's turn to raise a brow as he asked, "Might I ask what a lowly child would need to know about an insane god or our origins?"

"Stresl," Agaron sighed, "How many times do we have to explain that your magic will eventually fail you if you choose to insult anyone who isn't you? And, Kellyn, was it? We come from a continent called Tamriel and were transported here by Sheogorath, one of the g-"

"Did someone call?" A voice called in an exaggerated Irish accent, followed shortly by groans of despair from the strangers. A seemingly elderly man dressed in a red and purple suit came from nowhere and called out again, this time his accent sounded Scottish, "It is I, Sheogorath, the Daedric Pr-"

"What does Daedric mean?" Kate asked, taking a step back when the man spun round, glared at her and said, this time in a Scottish accent, "You dare to interrupt me? Nobody interrupts me, except me on the odd occasion. Tell me, have you ever had an angry immortal jump rope with your entrails?" Kate gagged at the thought.

Dathin spoke up, "Lord Sheogorath, you sent us here for a reason?"

The mad god replied, "Why of course, my dear Forky is lost somewhere on this landmass and I need my new champions to retrieve him."

"We came all this way," Stresl began, "You sent us to another realm… FOR A FORK!?"

"Quite right my dear mortal," Sheogorath nodded, "And before I go, let me give you all something." A black wooden staff with three engraved faces with disproportionately large jaws appeared as the man said, "For Dathin, we have the Wabbajack and for the rest of you-" Several large wheels of cheese appeared, "CHEESE FOR EVERYONE!"

Kate and Kellyn covered their ears at the sudden increase in volume, both glad that their partner pokémon were waiting elsewhere for them. The man spoke again, "Now, my dear mortals, it is time I take my leave, ta ta." With that, a blue orb surrounded him and collapsed in on itself, transporting the man away. Kellyn looked at the warriors and Agaron told him, "I can explain, but we'll need guides, Stresl."

"They have the aura of travellers," Stresl replied without any interest, "They know the area." Under the gaze of the four men, Kate eventually threw her arms up and announced, "Ok, we'll do it."

"We?" Kellyn asked.

"You heard me," Kate shrugged, "You're coming too, it'll be fun."

"It'll be dangerous," Kellyn sighed, walking up beside her as they began walking back where the two were orginally heading.

"By the way," Kate smiled, "We're pokémon rangers."

"Is J'Dhato supposed to know what that means?" The cat asked.

"Nope," Kate replied, slightly curious as to why he kept referring to himself in third person but kept quiet as they walked towards the edge of the forest...
