"What is this?!" Erin Riley yelled at the site before her. In front of the girls, Arceus, Giratina, and Diagla were sitting in a huge lake. Above them, Palkia was stretching in the air.

Arceus looked up and said, "What? Legendary Pokémon get hot too."

"I imagine they do, but Palkia and Diagla are not even fighting. Why?" Ivory Linn asked while getting out her supplies to make lunch.

"Because Diagla is too hot to fight. So I'm just about to make sure that my dimensional abilities are still ok." Palkia said, obviously annoyed with Diagla.

"Oh, sorry I can't impress you." Diagla said while rolling her eyes. Sensing a fight coming, Giratina changed the subject.

"What are the twins doing Erin?" He asked, gesturing towards Erin's other friends, who heard what he said.

"I'm trying to make a new dress for myself and I'm using Dahlia as a guide." Seria Dawn said cheerfully.

"Yes. Because that's all I'm good for." Dahlia Dawn said sarcastically.

"Hey! What do you guys want for lunch?" Ivory asked while starting the fire.

"Err. Remember that gumbo you made for us that one time…" Palkia started shyly.

"Sure thing." Ivory said, smiling. She knew that most legendary Pokémon, like Palkia, hated asking for things from humans.

"Great. How about I give you three girls a ride for a while until Palkia starts practicing?" Arceus said while getting out of the lake.

"Sure!" Dahlia, Seria, and Erin all said at once. Erin got up and climbed up onto Arceus. She rolled up the sleeves of her green, fleece jacket to reveal her tan color when she got on him. She also straightened her blue pants to where they were on her hips and pulled her dark brown hair into a ponytail. She turned around to see that Seria was coming up next. Seria's light skin welcomed her light blue tank top and pink skirt. Erin helped her up and she repulled her blonde hair into a ponytail. Finally, Dahlia, Seria's twin sister, came up. She took off the dress to reveal a gothic black dress. Erin helped her up and she fixed her blonde hair so it would go straight down her back. Before they took off, Erin looked back at Ivory. She had dark skin, and was wearing long, jean pants, and a pretty white shirt with a flower on it. Her favorite sweatshirt was tied around her hips. She was also wearing her favorite necklace. The necklace was a simple string around her neck with a heart locket attached. Inside the locket was a feather from Lugia. How she got it is a really long story.

"Ready to go?" Arceus asked. The girls all nodded and he took off. Erin watched her guardian bracelet glow a deep yellow color as Arceus flew over the forest. They only flew for five minutes before they had to land.

"Stand back all of you, this part can be dangerous." Palkia commanded and began to open a dimension. Erin stole a look at Seria's guardian bracelet, which was glowing pink, and then looked back. In a few seconds, a back hole appeared before them. Everyone, even the Pokémon were taken aback so much, that they did not notice that they had a visitor.

"Hey Palkia…." Jirachi's high voice cut through the air. Palkia jumped and accidently pushed the portal closer to the girls, who then got sucked in. The portal then closed by itself.

"Awwwwwww. I wanted to go to." Jirachi said, not noticing the death glare Palkia was giving him. Luckily for him, Diagla started yelling at Palkia.

"PALKIA, YOU HAVE TO BRING THEM BACK. HURRY BEFORE A CREATURE EATS THEM OR SOMETHING!" Diagla screamed.

"It's not that simple. I just opened a random portal. I don't know where I sent them. This may take them a while." Palkia said while scratching his head.

"I hope there's a Palkia in the dimension they're in. Maybe it can help them." Giratina said thoughtfully.

"Well even if there is one. With the luck that those girls have, he will probably be captured." Arceus said sadly.

"Shhhhh!" The others answered him quickly as if someone was listening.
"I sense foreshadowing." Jirachi sang and got the same answer.

Jirachi ignored it and went on, "Either way. I want to help. Please." At that legendaries freaked a little. Then Diagla calmly went up to Jirachi.

"Yes you can help. All you have to do is go over there so I can take your picture." Jirachi did what Diagla said, "Good, now say cheese." Diagla said calmly.

"Chee….!" Diagla froze Jirachi in time before he could finish. The others calmed down.

"Great. Now let's get to work." Arceus said.

"Does this mean we're not eating?" Giratina asked while looking at Ivory's pot still on the fire.

Sara pulled her jacket closer to herself as she stood in th frozen streets of castelia city. She stood by a frozen fountain. By her side was her sawsbuck, it it's winter form. She usually kept all her pokemon outside her pokeballs, but for now it was just the one.
A few feet away, her friends Miki, with her Azumarril, and Cody, with his Stoutland, were having a conversation. Sara gazed through the snow to see if her boyfriend, N, was anywhere to be found.

Sara felt her breathing speed up. Where is he? She thought. Who knows what could have happened. He could be lost, he could be captured by an evil corporation seeking revenge, he could be freezing to death somewhere...

Calm yourself, Sara she told herself. He's probably off stalking another trainer. She smiled at herself. She was probably the only girl in the world who didn't mind that. And it was N, so there was really no need to worry, right?

Sara's fears were put to rest as a man's voice called out her name. Sure enough, it was N, running along side his Zoroark. Sara was about to run up and embrace him, when out of nowhere, a portal opened up, sucking pokemon and people alike inside.
