The Mysterious Charizard
Chapter 1 – Dimensional Call
With three of the Hawaiian Island Challenge trials successfully passed, the dragons were wondering on what they will be tackling on their next trial. They have reached Hawaii Island with Tails, Blaze, Bowser, and Darky, and rested for the night upon their arrival. Now it was morning, and while Tails and Blaze continued on with their sightseeing, the dragons thought over where they would go from there.
"I suggest that we stick around with Tails and Blaze for the time being," said Cynder. "They said they were going to visit the city of Hilo, and from what I heard, there are some exotic Japanese gardens in Liliuokalani Park."
"Sounds like a neat idea," said Draco. "I just love seeing such beautiful sceneries whenever there's a chance."
"Me too, me too!" chimed Darky.
"Don't forget that from Hilo, we could get a glimpse of Mauna Kea," added Percival. "It's one of the biggest volcanoes in Hawaii, and there are some observatories over there."
"Did you say there are observatories?" asked Draco. "That would be really neat! That's another I love, having a look at the far reaches of space and such."
"Well, that's somethin' you and I have in common, Draco," laughed Jakkin. "Astronomy is another thing that fascinates me, ya know?"
"Alright, then it's settled," said Cynder. "We'll spend some time with Tails and Blaze, and then we can go and take on the next trial."
"Cynder and Draco, can you hear me?" a voice suddenly called in the dragons' minds.
"King Kurotsuki, is that you?" asked Cynder.
"Ah, good, I finally got hold of you," said King Kurotsuki. "Yes, it is me. I just called because I have some very important news for you."
Draco and Cynder were very confused, but they listened attentively. "What sort of news?"
"Well, this is going to be a pleasant surprise for you," replied King Kurotsuki. "But for that, here's somebody you might remember seeing back in the past, as he has all the answers."
"Hello, Draco and Cynder," called another voice.
"Who is that?' asked Draco.
"Don't you remember?" asked the voice. "Think back years ago when you, Cynder, and Bowser were brought to a different world to help out a certain young Charmander in need of support and resolve as he could have potentially destroyed his world if it were for your intervention."
"Hold on a second, I think I remember that!" exclaimed Cynder. "And that voice sounds very familiar… Dialga, is that you?"
"You have guessed it correctly," replied Dialga, a dark blue dinosaur-like being with grey metallic portions and light blue stripes around his body, including a diamond fitted on the centre of his chestplate. "My partner Palkia is also here with me, and we are communicating through King Kurotsuki to tell you some very important news."
Immediately, Cynder and Draco recalled meeting Dialga and Palkia some years back. They were a pair of deities who guarded over a world from another dimension, and they have once came to Earth to find Draco, Cynder, and Bowser in a desperate attempt to prevent certain doom from befalling their homeworld, and the mission involved a certain Charmander they became friends with.
"What sort of important news do you have for us?" asked Cynder. "Are we needed to stop another disaster from happening in the Pokeworld?"
"No, nothing of that sort," said Palkia, a light purple being that also resembled a dinosaur. He had darker shades of purple markings with grey underarms and waist, and he also had purple-striped plates on his shoulder area, where two pink pearls lie encrusted with a grey rim encircling them. "We have come to let you know that a visitor who is eager to meet you is coming to your world."
Feeling even more puzzled, Draco prodded to find out more. "A visitor, you say?" he asked. "What kind of visitor is he?"
"You'll find out once you see him," replied Dialga. "All I can tell you is that we helped him find your location, and he will be on his way in a matter of hours."
"If he proves himself, then he will become a permanent resident," added Palkia. "So we hope that all you will make him feel welcome and comfortable."
"Okay, not a problem," said Cynder. "We'll give it our best shot to show this newcomer around where we are now."
"Excellent news, indeed," said Dialga. "Now, we shall bid you all good day and all the best."
And with that, the dimensional call ended. Although Draco and Cynder pondered over what Dialga and Palkia told them, they seemed to have somewhat of a clue to what the newcomer could possibly be.
Jakkin could only wonder what Draco and Cynder were on about, and he stood in front of them to bring them back to their senses. "Uh, hello, fellas?" he called. "I want to know what stopped you guys from movin' onward."
"Oh, Jakkin," said Draco quickly as he snapped out of his trance. "Cynder and I just got a telepathic call from King Kurotsuki on behalf of Dialga and Palkia."
"Dialga and Palkia?" asked Torden, doubtfully. "I never heard of them before, so how do I know you're not making stuff up?"
Bowser remembered the names. "Actually, Torden, those two are for real," he said. "It's a bit of a long story, so it might be hard explaining everything to you guys."
"I'm curious to know about this Dialga and Palkia," said Percival. "They sound like deities of some sort."
"They are, Percival," said Bowser. "But anyway, what is it that they wanted to talk to you about, Draco and Cynder?"
"Apparently, we have some kind of visitor from a distant world heading our way," replied Draco. "I don't know where and when, but what they told us is that his arrival will be today."
"Is he an alien or what?" asked Torden.
"I, uh, I don't know…" lied Draco.
"Oh, a visitor!" exclaimed Lily. "That sounds like fun! I bet he would be friendly!"
"I don't know if that sounds good," said Jakkin. "Let's try to keep everything in perspective."
"Maybe so, but we'll worry about that when the time comes," said Cynder. "Right now, let's get going and meet up with Tails and Blaze over at Hilo."
