Author's Note: This is the fifth of 5 crossovers between Pokémon & Ninjago. I own my OCs, but that's it: Myra, Xam, Trent, Liana, Owen, Dalton, & Jonah. Zet & Ellie belong to PokemonOtaku0909. Part of this crossover is based on one of his stories. I'm picking up where he finished. Of the 66 characters listed, not all of them will appear in this chapter. Some will be referenced in future chapters. I've got additional characters on the way, but 66 is enough for this chapter. I don't own Zet & Ellie; they belong to PokemonOtaku0909. Part of this crossover is based on one of his stories. I'm picking up where he left off. My apologies in advance for the length of this chapter. I don't own , Audi & Nightingale Funeral Home, either.

Chapter 1: No More Bad Dudes?

(Somewhere in Kalos, 11:00am)

In an office, we see a girl, aged 7. She has beautiful blonde hair & bright blue eyes. She's on her computer & says, "Wow. I didn't know this. Then again, if he knew, then he would've told me." She looks up & says, "I miss you, Mom & Xam." There's a knock & the girl says, "It's open." In walk a young boy, a young girl, & a Poochyena. The young boy has spiky, black hair & black eyes. The girl who is happily playing with the Poochyena has orange hair & brown eyes. The seated girl says, "Zet, introductions please?" The spiky-haired boy now known as Zet clears his throat & says, "Right. Ellie, Poochyena, this is Miss Citron. Miss Citron, Ellie & Poochyena." Miss Citron groans & says, "Zet, if I've told you once I've told you a thousand times: call me Bonnie. Where's your partner?" The orange haired-girl now known as Ellie sighs & strokes Poochyena. Bonnie says, "Is this your new partner?" Zet says, "No, but she became a valued part of the team, as did this Poochyena." Bonnie says, "So, where is your partner?" Zet says, "I don't know off the top of my head. He was quite the Bad Dude Bounty Hunter; the little dude's from Hoenn." Bonnie says, "Hoenn? Name?" Zet pulls a couple of pictures out of his pocket, places them on the desk & says, "Yeah. He's got an older sister named May & his father's the Gym Leader. The picture on the left is before the dude takeover; the other one is after. Ellie, uh," Ellie trills, "Max-boy is goner. I meet Poochyena, native to Hoenn," takes off her backpack & pulls out her laptop. Zet says, "Ellie happens to be a hacker. She's 6. Ergo," Ellie cuts him off with a shrill of excitement. Bonnie says, "Information, I hope?" There's a knock at the door & a voice says, "Bonnie, it's Dad. May I please come in?" Bonnie stands up & says, "In a second, Daddy! I don't want you to fall on anything," & presses a switch. Wanted posters are replaced with Pokémon pictures, monitors are replaced with family pictures, her desk's logo folds in, various toys come out, and she puts on a jacket covering her logo. She says, "Low profile," in a whisper & walks to the door. She opens it & says, "Sorry about that Dad. We're playing office." Her father says, "Aren't you going to introduce me to your friends?" Bonnie tries to avoid a face palm but, Zet has her covered. He says, "I'm Zet. I can't pronounce our last name, even though I've had it for 13 years. This is my younger sister, Ellie, & our Poochyena." Ellie says, "Boss-man?" He says, "I'm sort of my own boss. I'm Meyer, Bonnie's father." Bonnie says, "Hey, Dad, uh, where's Clemont?" Meyer takes a deep breath & says, "That's a part of the reason I came here. I just, do you want to sit down?" Before Bonnie can reply, the sounds of two Poké Balls are heard opening. "Fee? Flaaffy!" "Ken? Combusken!" Before anyone can even blink, both begin to glow, to Meyer's surprise. He says, "I've had them since they were in their first forms of Mareep & Torchic." Ellie says, "Johto sheep," pointing to the newly-evolved Ampharos & Zet says, "Talk about fire power," referring to the newly-evolved Blaziken. Ellie's laptop (which has a built-in Pokédex) speaks. A male robotic voice (since Mareep is from Johto) says, "Ampharos, the Light Pokémon, & the final evolved form of Mareep. Because Ampharos' light can be seen from a great distance, people once used that light to communicate by sending signals back & forth." A female robotic voice (applies for Hoenn, Sinnoh, & Kalos) says, "Blaziken, the Blaze Pokémon. Blaziken leaves its opponents charred with fiery punches." Meyer says, "Anyway, I was headed down to Professor Sycamore's lab, with these 2 in tow. Clemont is still making himself feel at home at the Lumiose Gym," & walks closer to Bonnie. Bonnie starts to panic & Meyer says, "How sweet. Clemont got you a sweatshirt with the Voltage Badge on it. Anyway, I don't know how long I'll be, so Clemont's taking you dentist 2 afternoon," quieting down on the last part. Bonnie (wishing her father wouldn't mutter) says, "What was that Dad?" He says, "Clemont's taking you to the new dentist at 2 this afternoon. Please behave. I don't want a repeat of last time." She says, "Okay. Bye, Dad," hugging her father as he recalls his new partners. He kisses her on the cheek & leaves. Bonnie says, "Last time, I kinda went berserk. Whatever medicine they gave me did it. Anyway, sorry about that," & presses the switch. Bonnie says, "Since you're sitting down, it'll be easier to tell you this. Zet, Ellie is your long lost sister." Zet & Ellie exchange glances, before laughing. Bonnie grabs her monitor (flat screen), turns it & says, "According to , you 2 are brother & sister." Both look at the screen. Zet says, "I always wondered if I was an only child. Now I know." Ellie says, "Zet-boy is big brother!" Bonnie turns the monitor back around, clears her throat & says, "Let's get back to business." Zet says, "Who are on those 2 new posters?" Bonnie says, "The 'MISSING' posters or the 'WANTED' posters?" Zet says, "Haven't I been after those 2 before?" Bonnie says, "LaRousse & Port? Yes, I think so. They're said to be very mysterious, but dangerous. No leads are pointing anywhere. As for these posters, they just came in. The odd guy on the left with hair over his eyes is Nando. Don't know anything on him. This guy, I only know 2 things: one, his name & two, his hometown. He's really old." Ellie says, "Max-boy is from Petalburg City, Hoenn." Bonnie continues, "Anyway, his name is Ramos & he's the Coumarine Gym Leader. I called you here, Zet, & I guess, you Ellie, to break some bad news, but uh, what did you mean by 'goner?' Is he in danger?" Zet looks up, then down & says, "He's dead. Bonnie, she's dead, too." Bonnie says, "It's hard not having my mom around. By the way, Clemont is my brother; he's single." Ellie says, "Max-boy sister name is May. May is Coordinator-girl. Top eight Hoenn, top 4 Kanto; dating Drew L. Max-boy's mother name is Caroline. Caroline former trainer. Top 16 Kanto, Top 8 Johto, & Top 4 Hoenn. Max-boy's father name is Norman. Norman current gym leader of Petalburg Gym." Bonnie grabs her grape soda & starts drinking. Zet says, "So, what's the bad news?" & feeds Poochyena. Bonnie says, "I'm closing it up. The Bad Dude Bounty Hunters was founded by mymom & dad. For 5 years, they've been looking for some criminal known as the Candy Cane Killer. For 4 years, they've been looking for some criminal known as The Minstrel. For 3 years, they've been looking for some criminal known as Orange Shooter. As you can see, the wanted posters have been edited. Originally, my parents wanted the bad dudes & dudettes alive. For a while, that worked; until Clemont nearly lost his arm. I know that pains you, Zet, but Clemont, I believe, got lucky." Zet looks at his prosthetic & says, "Those bad dudes are still out there. The Candy Cane Killer, the Minstrel," Bonnie says, "Zet, look at those rewards." Zet looks, as does Ellie. Ellie says, "Lots of zeroes, not so many ones. Like binary code! Basics!" Bonnie gulps more grape soda & says, "$1.5M for Orange Shooter. $3M for Minstrel. Finally, the Candy Cane Killer is the highest with $3.5B." Zet says, "Uh, Bonnie? How come you're running a family business? Maybe they're all dead? What type of trainer is Clemont? How do we tell Max's parents that he's dead? And why are you guzzling grape soda if you've gotta go to the dentist?" Bonnie raises a brow & guzzles more soda; Ellie says, "We get new jobs?" Bonnie says, "Correct," sitting down on her own computer. Bonnie says, "I might keep you 2 together, if Zet, you can call Max's parents & explain how he was killed; based on information I've received & Ellie, if you can sign up on this email link." Ellie cracks her knuckles, loudly & begins to type. Bonnie says, "Zet, you know how I operate. Okay, I'm running the business because our dad Meyer was the Lumiose City Gym Leader at the time & Clemont was trying to get a girlfriend, so a few papers are signed & I'm in charge. Clemont trains Electric-types. Simple, the Bad Dude Bounty Hunters isn't as well-known as it seems. Zet, you're creative. As for my drinking of grape soda, I'm thirsty & when you're thirsty & your brother happened to install a vending machine full of the sweet stuff, guilty as charged, I can't help myself. I brush & floss, like I'm supposed to, but if you've seen the vending machines, I've got quite the sweet tooth. Oddly, in the 7 years I've been alive, I've never had a cavity." Zet pulls out a phone & says, "How am I supposed to call the gym if I don't have a phone number for it?" Ellie trills, "Signed up. Petalburg Gym phone number is 326-656-8283." Bonnie says, "That's great. Look, you 2 can be a team. Zet, I know you used to work for the International Kalos Police, but, you're going to be working on separate things with Ellie. You'll be working with the former G-Men. AKA the International Police. They've got more leads than I ever could," & makes a photocopy of Max's photos, for her memories. She says, "I've got some friends that can help me clear stuff out. They, actually know the truth about me & Clemont. Valerie's nephew, Trevor, Olympia's brother Owen, Wulfric's grandson Tierno, Siebold's niece Shauna, & Malva's brother Calem. One of them has to marry Clemont. The Kalos Gym Leaders & Elite Four are relatively," Ellie says, "Olympia, married. Shauna, dating Trevor. Malva, dating Flint of Sinnoh." Poochyena is sleeping & Bonnie smiles. Bonnie says, "I'm impressed. Clemont's gotta get a," Ellie trills, "Drasna widowed, Viola single, Korrina is single. Viola is Santalune Gym lady & Korrina is Shalour Successor lady." Zet says, "Okay, this is what I've got: Norman, Caroline," Ellie says, "Whoa, whoa, easy. Surely they've got a last name." Zet says, "I am sure, but I don't know what it is." Ellie says, "Don't call me Shirley! It's Kura." Zet says, "Okay. Mr. & Mrs. Kura, I became," Bonnie says, "Just call them." Zet dials the phone & starts helping Bonnie take stuff down while Ellie plays with Poochyena.

(Petalburg City, Caroline's P.O.V. 20 minutes later)

I'm waiting for the phone to ring. Norman is going to be home any minute! I mean, May called us after she competed in the Wallace Cup before going to compete in the Olivine Contest. As for Max, oh, my baby. The door opens & in walks Norman, looking tired. I say, "Where were you?" My husband says, "Work. I closed the gym early. Something just doesn't seem right with the kids. May's dating Drew, but they haven't called." I start massaging his shoulders, & he says, "The Grand Festival was yesterday, do you believe it?" I say, "No. Especially because our daughter failed to call. She better have a good reason for not calling!" The doorbell rings, & it's followed by, "Norman? Caroline? It's Brendan. I've got something for Slakoth, Vigoroth, & Slaking from my dad. It's kind of heavy." Norman opens the door & helps Brendan with the box. I blink & say, "Brendan, you haven't heard from May, have you?" He says, "She hasn't contacted me. My dad's pretty mad, especially since he hasn't received any word on Blaziken." Norman says, "Hey, any new catches?" Brendan enlarges a ball & says, "This little one's shy. My Aggron, Shiftry, Swampert, Rhyperior, & Duskull seem to be warming up to the new teammate. Hey, Eevee," & sends it out. I say, "Oh, Brendan, it's beautiful. Honestly, you & May would be perfect for each other." Norman says, "Caroline, Brendan has a girlfriend. Man, if Max could see your team, he'd be impressed. Your Eevee is very small." Brendan says, "Well, Eevee just hatched. What do you expect?" Before Norman can get a word in, we get a call, from an out of area location. I answer it & say, "Kura residence this is Caroline, who am I speaking with?" A young man on the other line says, "Is your husband home? Both of you. I can answer questions once we meet in person." I say, "Norman, Brendan, the phone. Your name is, what again?" The young man says, "Zet. It's odd, I know. Is Brendan Max's brother?" Brendan says, "Feels that way, but I'm not. That older sibling honor goes to May, who is still in Johto." Zet says, "This is very hard for me to say, but, I have to. Mr. & Mrs. Kura, your son Max," I feel faint. Norman says, "T-thank you. We can get a hold of May," ending the call. Brendan says, "I met Solidad some time back. She's not my type, but she happens to be in the same place as May, probably making out with Harley as we speak." I felt my stomach twist as I heard the name of my daughter's main rival.

(Blackthorn City Pokémon Center, 5 minutes later, Drew's P.O.V.)

I remember when I got on the plane to Johto & saw Harley. I asked him why he hated May so much & he told me. I said, "Harley, look. You grew up in Slateport City. May was homeschooled. There was just another girl that looked like her." Little did I know that he would be a partner-in-crime. There he is & there's Solidad. Ugh, where's my girlfriend? She won, after all! Harley says, "Drew, hon, what's up?" Solidad says, "Maybe he's in a trance of some sort. I mean, considering where we are. Where's May?" May comes into the Center, holding her trophy & oddly, she's frowning. She sighs & says, "I guess I can't find them. I just want to meet her & see him again." I say, "Him who?" Solidad says, "Clair's just probably out again. As for Lance, I didn't know you met him. He's the Johto League Champion, after all." Harley says, "I thought he was the Kanto Champion." Solidad says, "Was is the key word. He got defeated by Trent Ketchum from Pallet Town." May says, "I thought Trent was the Viridian City Gym Leader!" Solidad rolls her eyes, but calmly says, "Was. The new gym leader is a girl named Tara." I say, "Solidad, how do you know all this?" The Center's phone rings & Nurse Joy says, "Blackthorn, oh, yes, yes she is. She just walked in Norman. I can transfer her to the video phone. The ferry left, though, but I have my connections," & transfers a call. May says, "Oops. I kinda forgot to call Mom & Dad." The video phone rings & May nervously answers it. May says, "Hi, Dad. I won! Dad, why are you crying?" Harley, Solidad & I walk over. I see Professor Birch's son Brendan trying to console Mrs. Kura. Norman says, "Oh, Harley, Solidad, & Drew, you better have black attire." I say, "Is everything alright? Did Professor Birch die?" Norman says, "No. Drew, I don't know how you really felt about my s-son. May, Max is dead. The funeral's in a few hours." I catch May & Solidad says, "We'll be getting to Hoenn, but I'm not sure how," ending the video call. I go over to Harley & say, "Max is dead?" Harley grabs me & whispers, "He's out of the picture. We've gotta follow through!" I say, "Why does something so wrong feel so right?" Harley rolls his eyes & whispers, "We've gotta be heartbreakers." We look at our girlfriends, & Harley says, "Luckily for a funeral, you don't have to wear all black." Solidad says, "It's respectful if you do, Harley. You & I both know that. Now Drew," turning her focus straight to me. I think, "Did she hear us? I don't like that stare." She says, "You asked me earlier how I know all this stuff about Kanto. It seems you forgot that I'm from Pewter City, Kanto. Let me call Brock," & goes to the videophone. It rings & a younger guy who looks like Brock says, "Pewter Gym, what's up?" Solidad says, "Forrest, quit playing around. I need to talk to Brock." Forrest sighs & says, "Brock's with his wife. On his honeymoon. Keep in mind, he's studying still. What's up?" Solidad says, "Forrest, how old are you now?" He says, "15. Come on, Slate, hit me with your best shot!" Solidad says, "Max is," he cuts her off & says, "I know. I'm waiting for the email to come through. Brock's with his wife, in Hoenn. I found out from Roxanne." She says, "I see. So, Brock married Roxanne?" He says, "No. Is May willing to talk?" Solidad turns & says, "May, would you like to talk to Forrest?" May nods & says, "Forrest, are all the Kanto leaders coming?" He says, "No. A lot of them know, though. Listen, I'm not one for rumors, but didn't Max become good friends with Misty?" May says, "Yeah. How many of them?" Forrest says, "Just to pay respects. I'm also bringing my girlfriend, Tara. Her father's insane, but her mom's dead, so she knows trauma. I'll see you at the funeral home when I get a hold of Misty. Okay?" May nods & says, "Forrest?" Forrest says, "I'm not bad of a chef myself. Brock talked nonstop about stuff like that. You've met her, but, I'll let you get ready, okay?" May nods & hangs up. May says, "I forgot Brock's family is large. Ten kids & Brock's the oldest. I only know that he's got 4 sisters." Solidad says, "Easy. Brock, Forrest, Salvadore, Yolanda, Tommy, Cindy, Suzie, Timmy, & the twins, Billy & Tilly." I say, "Stalker alert, stalker alert!" Harley says, "Honestly, a stalker?" Solidad says, "I used to babysit a few of the Harrison kids. Brock's 9 years older than Forrest, so let's see," & begins to count on her fingers. She says, "Forrest is 15. So, out on their journeys are Salvadore, Yolanda, Tommy, Cindy, & Suzie. Forrest is now the Pewter Gym Leader. I'll tell you more on the way. Right now, we've gotta change."

(Nightingale Funeral Home, 1:00, May's P.O.V.)

In between tears & hugs, I manage to thank Forrest. Forrest says, "The only sibling I could get a hold of was Yolanda," ushering his younger sister. A familiar voice says, "May?" I look up & say, "Queen Lucy?" The Frontier Brain of the Battle Pike smiles & says, "Just Lucy. Someone had to drive here. Tara?" A girl who has brown hair says, "I'm sorry for your loss, May. I'm Tara Wilson. Forrest's girl. To be honest, 3 Kanto leaders are here, let me go & see if she's here," & quickly steps outside. Tara returns with Misty, who says, "Hi May, Norman, Caroline. So, what do you think of Tara?" Harley strikes a chord by saying, "We just met." Misty is unfazed & says, "Tara's had a hard past, but let me assure you, your father isn't here. I don't know where he is, but you've gotta remember you're in your Uncle Scott's custody." Tara says, "Thanks, Misty." Misty says, "Hey, it's what gym leaders do." I say, "Uncle Scott? As in," Tara nods & says, "The 1 & only. I'm in charge of bringing the other Frontier Brains in. So, Brendan, what were you saying about grooming Vaporeon?" My good friend blushes & says, "It's simple, really. Vaporeon just needs a good brush here & there." Drew says, "If you don't mind my asking, how old are you?" Tara says, "15. I'm the Viridian Gym Leader, by the way." I say, "Wow. If anyone else is in the Frontier & married, bring them in." Tara & Lucy nod. Forrest says, "Yolanda, do you have your partner with you?" I say, "Partner?" Forrest says, "Yeah. Believe it or not, my partner's a Rhyperior that Brock looked after when it was a Rhyhorn. Salvadore has Geodude, Tommy took Marshtomp, Cindy took Ludicolo, & Suzie took Crobat." Yolanda says, "I took Sudowoodo," & sending out Brock's Bonsly, who must've evolved. I say, "Who referees your battles?" He says, "Sal, when he's home. Come on, bring in the lovebirds," nodding to Lucy. Lucy opens the door & steps out. Harley says, "Solidad, darling, I've gotta go," abruptly leaving, but not after giving her a kiss. Solidad says, "I should've told you this, May. Harley, well," Drew says, "Brings back bad memories. Harley's grandparents were killed when he was little, & well, he just needs some alone time." I put my hands in my face as the next voice I hear says, "May, I'm so sorry. Spenser would be here, but he said I could help you." I look up & see Noland wearing a black coat. He says, "Spenser's not feeling well, so I'm also here on his behalf. Come by the Factory, k?" I nod & say, "I forgot about training with the Palace Maven." Noland says, "Max had quite the fondness for heights. The next person you see, well, he wants a word with you," & leaves. The door quickly opens to reveal a very familiar figure. I say, "D-Dome Ace Tucker!" Tucker says, "Quite the performance in the festival. Fusing fire & water takes years of practice, but you've done something just amazing. Norman, how's the gym?" My father stands up & shakes hands with the Dome Ace. Dad says, "Dull, lately. I could beat you anytime I wanted." The Dome Ace says, "When you're up for it, you know how to reach me," leaving. Dad says, "Tucker's quite the Coordinator. He won Hoenn's second ever Grand Festival." Lucy says, "His combination wowed the judges & caught Scott's attention. I'll see if I can get them to take a break," leaving. I say, "I wonder who she means. I haven't seen Brawly & Greta. All of your coworkers came in, except Br," the Dewford Gym Leader cuts me off saying, "You rang? Norman, sorry for the loss." Greta says, "May, Max wasn't old enough to compete, but he had passion, right Brawly?" Brawly says, "The little dude sounded like a walking Pokédex & easily would have a Knuckle Badge & a Guts Symbol in a heartbeat." At this, the Arena Tycoon lets go & elbows him in the ribs, & I think I see a ring. Dad says, "Brawly, you finally did it!" Brawly ignores his side pain & says, "Yeah, I did. Not exactly how I planned it, but I think it was romantic." Greta studies her ring & says, "The only time either of us take our rings off is when we're sparring. The wedding's in a few months & I've almost got all the details!" I say, "Congratulations, Greta." Lucy says, "Ask her." Greta says, "I don't want to force her; I'm the last Frontier Brain getting married; on our Frontier, anyway." Tara says, "You see, there are 2 sets of Frontier facilities, both of which are family-owned. My uncle just got ownership of the other one. That set has 6 Frontier Brains. Hall Matron Argenta, Arcade Star Dahlia, Lady Caitlin, Castle Valet Darach, Tower Tycoon Palmer & the other Factory Head, Thorton." Drew says, "Other?" Greta says, "Noland's little bro. Well May, I was wondering if you'd like to be a part of my wedding." Lucy says, "Anabel, Caitlin, Greta & I don't have many female relatives, but we've got each other. I'm the matron of honor & Caitlin & Anabel are bridesmaids." I say, "Dad, can I?" Dad says, "Of course. Greta, thank you." Greta says, "No sweat. Hey, Brawly, why don't we send in Mr. & Mrs. Serious?" Lucy says, "Maybe if you can find them. There are others waiting to see you, though. The Elite 4 & Champion. Forrest, is he here yet?" Forrest says, "Don't know. Pallet's got a small airport & Ash said he had a surprise for you, May. I'll go look. Tara," they go. Yolanda says, "May, Solidad, I must say, I'm honored & thank you." Solidad says, "How did you do at the Grand Festival?" Yolanda says, "It's in a week. Not a lot of Kanto coordinators out there." Solidad says, "I had a feeling someone would be watching. I'm sure Brock's proud." Yolanda nods & Lucy says, "Hoenn's Elites have shifted. Wallace is still the champion, but he'll be late." I say, "Bring them on!" Lucy opens the door & I see a guy who's got a red Mohawk, a girl wearing some sort of hula outfit, another girl in a sweater, a guy in a white T-shirt with a jacket, & Steven. Steven says, "Hi May, Brendan. You know your girlfriend's looking for you right?" Brendan says, "Liza & Tate actually showed up?" Dad says, "I thought they were scheduled to do a rocket launch." Steven says, "Anyway, May, these are the other Elite 4 members," ushering the people near him. Brendan says, "Sidney, Phoebe & Glacia. Your name again?" The guy in the T-shirt says, "Dalton. If you're in need of Dark-types, Sidney's your go-to guy." Sidney says, "Pleasure to meet you, May." Dalton says, "If Ghost-types are what you want, you've gotta get Phoebe." Phoebe says, "Brendan, your Duskull can evolve more than once, you know." He says, "Cool. May, if you ever need Ice help, especially with your Glaceon, Glacia's your best bet." Glacia says, "Glaceon is quite unique." Dalton says, "You met my grandpa, before he passed. Like I said, I'm Dalton. Dragon types are my game." Drew says, "Oh, really? At what level does a Trapinch become a Dragon?" standing up. Dalton says, "Trapinch doesn't become a Dragon; it evolves into a Vibrava at level 35 & at level 45 becomes a Flygon. They're not primary Dragon-types; that happens to be their secondary type, the primary being ground. Flygon's been with me since it was a Trapinch." Drew says, "Oh, yeah? Bet you can't name all the Legendaries!" Dalton says, "That's easy. Latias, Latios, Rayquaza, Reshiram, Zekrom, Kyurem, Zygarde, Dialga, Palkia, & Giratina. None of them are pure Dragons, though. Pseudo-legendaries are Dratini, Dragonair, Dragonite, Bagon, Shelgon, Salamance, Gible, Gabite, Garchomp, Deino, Zweilous, Hydreigon, Goomy, Sliggoo, & Goodra." Drew says, "You made Zygarde & those last 3 up!" Dalton says, "I'm wasting my time. Zygarde & the last 3 are native to the Kalos region, which is where I've been training." Drew starts to speak, but Yolanda says, "I'd advise you to stop. You're 19 & you're arguing with a 17-year-old." Dalton says, "Thanks. Maybe we'll battle," Drew grabs a ball & says, "How about right here, right now?" earning him a smack from Brendan. They leave & Dalton says, "I'm not even allowed to do field challenges, yet. See ya," & follows Steven. Drew says, "Talk about nerve. What's a field challenge?" A deep, yet calm voice says, "Exactly as it sounds." Another voice says, "Any Gym Leader, Elite 4 member or Champion taking a challenge not on his or her own battlegrounds. Brendan, I got the text, May, I'm so sorry." I say, "T-thanks Liza. So, answering obvious questions isn't a field challenge?" Brandon says, "No," not in his usual tone. Anabel says, "Frontier Brains can't do it. By obvious questions, what do you mean?" Liza smirks & says, "Drew, they're called Elite for a reason. Everyone has their opinions on field challenges. No matter who the challenger is, they've got to keep track of their field challenges." Drew says, "So the kid doesn't want to lose track." Dad says, "Actually, no. Anyone new to their position has to wait a certain amount of time, set by league standards. Field challenges are great, especially if you can mask your identity from the trainers. Liza, where's Tate?" She says, "With his girlfriend. Being twins & all is fine, but if either of us is ever alone, we don't introduce ourselves right away." A familiar voice says, "Like Agatha did back in Viridian. Hi May, Solidad, Drew. Guys, this is," the guy standing next to Ash says, "Trenton Ketchum, most people call me Trent. It's a pleasure to see you again, Lucy, Brandon, & Anabel." Pikachu leaps off of Ash's shoulder & comes to me, alongside another Pikachu. Ash's Pikachu gets into my lap & rubs against me. Trent says, "Pika, be a good girl," referring to the other Pikachu. Ash says, "Trent, can I hold Pika? Considering who she's a product of?" Trent says, "I don't see why not. Black attire isn't out of reach for the Ketchums. I get told I look more like our mom, whereas Ash is a spitting image of our dad." I look & notice that both are wearing black hats, black gloves, & suits. Solidad says, "Ah, your Wallace Cup attire. Drew, Harley & I watched. Harley said that if I see you, to compliment your style. I thought the Ice Aqua Jet was perfect." Ash says, "Thanks. I used it & other moves in Gym battles." Drew says, "Dawn's quite the Coordinator herself. Jealous, Ash?" Ash says, "No. May, you remember some of the Pokémon Max befriended?" reaching into his coat pocket. I say, "He wanted to start with Ralts." Ash hands me 3 balls & says, "The red one is a Cherish Ball. But, what about the others?" Brendan pulls out similar balls & says, "The one in my left hand is called a Luxury Ball & it contains my Aggron. The one in my right hand is a Repeat Ball & it contains my Shiftry." All 3 open, 1 being a Mightyena, the other a Breloom & the last is a Gardevoir. Ash says, "This is the Shroomish that Max befriended. Ralts, Kirlia & Gardevoir were all being hunted." Trent says, "Kirlia & Gardevoir are safe, now. I took Gardevoir & gave Kirlia to Ashy." Ash ignores his nickname & says, "Ralts could sense how close I was to Max. She speaks through telepathy. I've been looking after her." Anabel says, "Her?" Ash nods & Trent says, "The Oak corral makes for good battling grounds. Ralts had her first battle with Vee & evolved halfway through. I brought out Aero when she evolved into Kirlia. We only know Gardevoir's gender because she battled Pika. Pika & Ash's Pikachu are the offspring of Dad's Chu. Chu keeps mom company & is a good body guard." Drew says, "Is Chu a Pikachu or a Raichu?" Ash says, "A Raichu. Vee is Trent's Espeon & Aero is his Aerodactyl. Gardevoir, would you like to go with May?" Gardevoir come up to me & nods. Drew says, "So Trent, can I battle you?" Trent says, "After the services. Be respectful of your girlfriend. A Full Battle. It's over when either of us loses all 6." I say, "Drew can't do that!" Drew says, "Why not, May?" I say, "Your team consists of Roserade, Masquerain, Absol, Flygon & Butterfree. That's 5!" Drew flips his hair & says, "I caught #6 in Johto. I can't wait that long!" Trent says, "Ash, find Mr. Nightingale & tell him what's up." Pikachu joins Ash & Trent says, "Quite a team. You only know 4 of mine. Choose," Ash comes back in & says, "He said yes, but after the services." Trent says, "Got the rules?" Drew says, "I'm gonna win!" Trent leaves & Ash shakes his head. Ash says, "You really think you can beat Trent?" I say, "Ash, how good is Trent?" Ash says, "Trent's journeyed everywhere & actually won a Grand Festival along the way in Kanto. He had 90 gym battles & has only had 10 championship battles. He's only lost 5 in each. 100 battles, 10 losses. Do the math." I say, "Wow." Brandon says, "On top of that, Trent has conquered both Frontiers." Anabel says, "Trent owns a lot of powerhouses. Knowing him, he'll probably use only one of the team members he just mentioned." Ash says, "Trent's inspirational & likes to make field challenges fun."

(Half an hour later, Drew's P.O.V.)

"The funeral's almost over," sending my text to Harley. He replies, "Wht did u do?" I text back, "It's a Full Battle. After I crush Ketchum, we'll go." He texts back, "Y r u battling Ash?" I text back, "Not THAT Ketchum. Trent." He messages me, "Meet at the rendezvous." I put my phone back & May says, "Drew, do you have anything to say?" I think, "Crud. Better do this for Harley." I go to the podium & say, "On behalf of Harley, Max had an extensive amount of knowledge for a kid his age." I pause & take out the folded paper. I say, "Max was curious, inquisitive, & overall, a good little brother. He never talked to me much until May & I started dating. Nothing personal, but it was mostly about Pokémon. That's all," & see a guy & a little girl. The guy says, "Hello to all of you. My name is Zet & this is Ellie. I was the first friend Max made in Kalos." Ellie says, "Max-boy & I both make friends with Poochyena. Max-boy's evolved." Zet says, "Max was like a younger brother to me & an older one to Ellie. Ellie, give it to May," talking to his younger sister, who pulls out a blue rose. Ellie says, "Max-boy said May likes roses," handing it to my girlfriend. Zet says, "Max, I'm sure you're all looking down on us right now. That picture you see of Max is what he was last wearing. He bought other clothes, but these were his favorites. Ellie & I couldn't say our goodbyes, so we will now," & walk to the coffin. Poochyena is silent & Ellie through tears says, "Rest in peace, Max-boy," placing a blue rose on it. Zet through tears says, "So Max, this is goodbye. Watch over all the places you've been, the people you care about, & one day, we'll met again," placing a red rose next to Ellie's & gives one to May. May grabs them in a tight hug & says, "Thank you for finding Max in Kalos." Zet says, "He's in a better place, May," looking at me. As the funeral draws to a close, I think, "Short speeches. Forrest, Yolanda & the Pike Queen spoke on Brock's behalf. Brendan spoke on behalf of his dad, Gary was holding hands with Misty & spoke on behalf of his grandpa, & Steven on behalf of his late father." I walk to the battlefield & meet up with Dawn & her boyfriend, Kenny. Dalton is there, too. Ash says, "This is a challenge between Kanto Champion Trent Ketchum & coordinator, Drew. Both sides are using 6 Pokémon for a full battle. The match is over when either side loses all 6 of his Pokémon. Substitutions are allowed on both sides. However, the challenger can only make 3. Clear?" Trent has Pika get off his shoulder & I grab my ball. Trent says, "As crystal, Ashy." I say, "Why?" Ash says, "Because of the rules." I say, "Fine. You're going down. Electrode," & summon my partner. Trent says, "You've got the first attack," & turns his visor backwards. I say, "Electrode, Explosion!" having forgotten that it knocks me out, too. Ash calls it & Trent says, "It's okay, Pika. Rest with mom & Chu," walking to Mrs. Ketchum & the Raichu. I say, "Roserade, you ready?" my partner steps forth. Trent grabs a ball that's grey on the top with a light blue, with a yellow moon on top. He says, "Nido, I choose you!" I say, "A Nidoking?" He says, "Nido, Confusion!" striking Roserade, who I recall & swap out with Butterfree. I say, "Butterfree, Psybeam!" Trent says, "Substitute." Butterfree's Psybeam hits Nidoking, who disappears. Trent says, "Nidoking, come down with Iron Tail!" Iron Tail hits Butterfree spot on. I say, "How?" Trent says, "Substitute produces a decoy. Give up?" I say, "No. Absol," & send out the Disaster Pokémon. I say, "Beat that!" He says, "Nido, Confusion!" I say, "Again?" hitting Absol, swapping out for Masquerain. I say, "Masquerain, Signal Beam!" Trent says, "Nido, Psybeam!" I swap out Masquerain for Roserade again & Ash says, "That's 3 substitutions. You've got 4 left." I say, "Butterfree," he says, "Butterfree got hit with Iron Tail & you eliminated Electrode." I feel dumb, but May says, "You can do it Drew!" Solidad says, "Stay calm!" Trent says, "Nido, you could use some rest, return," recalling it. Trent says, "Saur, I choose you!" I say, "What?" Ash says, "Roserade looks unscathed." I say, "That's due to Natural Cure, one of Roserade's abilities. Now Roserade, use Sunny Day followed up with Energy Ball!" Dalton begins to laugh & Trent lifts up his shades & says, "Really?" letting Venusaur get hit. May says, "Drew! Venusaur's abilities are Chlorophyll & Overgrow!" I say, "Chlorophyll?" May says, "Remember when Bulbasaur evolved into Ivysaur?" referring to our contest battle in Cherrygrove City. I say, "I still don't see the problem." Trent says, "I'll show you. Venusaur, Solar Beam, now!" Venusaur's Solar Beam is faster than normal & hits Roserade, who gets back up. Trent says, "Vine Whip on Roserade & go for a Seismic Toss!" Venusaur does so, defeating Roserade. Solidad says, "Might want to forfeit, Drew!" I say, "No. Roserade, return." May says, "Trent, could you teach me that?" Trent says, "Others can. Saur, take a rest, return," recalling him. Trent says, "Olu, I choose you!" unclipping a ball from his necklace, revealing a Riolu that glows white, evolving. I send out Masquerain, who's defeated with a Hyper Beam. Trent says, "Luca, Rest. This is fun," keeping calm. I send out Absol & say, "I don't know why you're so happy. Hyper Beam takes energy out of the user. Now Absol, use Quick Attack & then use Taunt!" Trent says, "Wow. You're quite the opponent, Drew," letting his newly-evolved Lucario get hit. I don't know what he's got up his sleeve, so the next words I say are, "Absol, Double Team!" Trent says, "Mom, I'll never forget how you taught me this. Luca, use Detect & then go for the devastating Sky Uppercut!" I say, "You'll miss!" Solidad says, "I wouldn't be so sure, Drew. Why is Lucario emitting a red aura?" Lucario knocks out the real Absol, to my surprise, Zet's & Ellie's. Ellie is letting Poochyena play with Max's Mightyena. Ash says, "Absol is unable to battle. Luca wins & the battle goes to Trent!" Trent says, "Excellent work, Luca." I say, "How did I lose?" Dalton says, "Your cockiness clouded your thinking. That, or your stats are based on luck." Trent says, "Dalton's got a point on the first part. Lucario has the Hidden Ability, Justified. Justified raises the attack when hit by a Dark-type move. Right, Sid?" Sidney says, "Yeah. Interestingly enough, Absol is the only Dark-type who actually has that ability." I say, "Seriously?" Ash says, "Awesome, Trent. Zet, I think Mightyena likes you." Zet says, "I think it's because I was one of the last people to touch Max." Mightyena gets into some sort of defensive stance. I recall Absol, as there's an explosion. I grab the note Harley wrote & my note as well, to May. I begin to get on the rope ladder & Trent says, "Luca, Swords Dance!" Trip nods & I see a Meowth collapse on the scene, which Ash goes to. I say, "May!" as we make our getaway. I see Ash tending to the Meowth who's dressed up & say, "So, where are we going?" Harley says, "Kalos, darling." Nando says, "Call out your team." I do, as he flies the helicopter. Nando says, "Quaint. An Electrode. Kricketune, Heal Bell," revealing his Kricketune to us. I say, "When did the Boss get rid of Meowth?" Trip says, "That's unimportant, as of right now. The dude's the new Lumiose Gym Leader & is some sort of expert when it comes to Electric-types." I say, "What's the plan? Harley, why are you dressing like that?" Trip says, "Sorry, Drew. Did you want to cross-dress?" I say, "No. Thank Groudon Harley can."

(Lumiose City. 2:15)

A boy driving an Audi a4 convertible says, "They called & said that they're actually a bit behind schedule. Isn't it amazing Bonnie?" Bonnie says, "Huh? Oh, yeah. Sure thing, Clemont." The boy now known as Clemont parks the car & says, "Well, we better tell them that you're here." In the office, we see a young man polishing tools & he says, "Dad's tools. I'm surprised he passed them down to me. Trip, thank you for getting him out of the way." Trip says, "Whatever. Won't people find us, oh I don't know, suspicious, Tyson?" Tyson says, "It depends on how well you can all act. The receptionist knows who we are & is quite good at playing dumb." Trip says, "Her blonde hair is beautiful. What's her name?" Tyson smirks & says, "Myra. Myra Citron. Dad kidnapped her 5 years ago & had his Slowbro use Amnesia. Amnesia, when used on a human, can only last for 3 months, if a non-Psychic-type uses it, 6 months if it's secondary type is Psychic, 9 months if it's a primary & one year if it's a pure Psychic. Courtesy of Nando's father, Slowbro is deceased. Meowth did it, then I had Harrison's Hypno do it, & Metagross is the latest one." Trip says, "Excellent. The stage is set, Dr. Ukon." Tyson pulls up his mask & Trip sits in the chair. Clemont & Bonnie walk in & Bonnie says, "Mom?" Myra says, "Afraid I don't know you. Please sign in," & hands her a clipboard. A boy says, "Come on, Electrode, back in the ball." Bonnie signs in & Clemont says, "Electrode doesn't want to return?" The disguised boy gets close to Electrode & says, "What's it to you?" Bonnie sits down & Clemont says, "Well, my name's Clemont. I train Electric-types." The boy says, "You don't say?" Bonnie says, "He's the Lumiose Gym Leader!" defending her brother, eyeing the disguised boy. The door opens to reveal a well-disguised Harley, holding a chart, searching for Bonnie. Clemont says, "I'll help you if you want." Bonnie feels something is wrong, but gets up & says, "I'm coming, I'm coming. Get the Trapinch out of your pants." The boy says, "Well, I don't want to separate siblings. My name is Werd, by the way." Harley says, "Werd, your appointment is tomorrow, dar," Drew says, "Yes, Hayley, I know." Harley leads Bonnie back & Bonnie says, "Hayley. Don't recall you being here the last time." Harley puts a napkin on Bonnie & starts examining her teeth. There's a small explosion & things go dark.

(A forest in Ninjago)

A young man says, "Lord Garmadon, can we stop?" addressing an older man. The man says, "Lloyd, stop calling me that. If you must put a title before my name, then make it Sensei." The woman says, "I did. Years ago, Lloyd." The young man in a gold gi now known as Lloyd says, "What do you mean?" Sensei Garmadon says, "Exactly that, son. Misako, you were a fine student." The woman now known as Misako says, "Thanks to you & Wu, the prophecy was able to be fulfilled." Lloyd says, "Mom, what do you mean?" Misako says, "The prophecy stated that the Green Ninja would have to know spinjitzu. At this time, I had just become a student of your father & uncle, both of whom knew spinjitzu. My father-in-law said that whoever I choose, the child will know spinjitzu, but won't learn it right away." Sensei Garmadon says, "Misako chose me. However, the poison made me sick. So, she was under your uncle's instruction when I wasn't feeling well. Wu & I did one thing the same: you had to complete the course before we could pour ourselves a glass of tea." Lloyd says, "That's not how I learned." Misako gives a Lloyd a description of the monastery. On a motorcycle, a young man wearing a red gi says, "Glad you didn't get too far. Sensei Wu told me to give this to you, Lloyd," & hands him a few photos. Lloyd says, "Thanks, Kai. Mom was just telling me how she learned spinjitzu." The man now known as Kai says, "At the monastery, I hope?" Misako says, "Yes, Kai. I was telling him about the monastery itself. You weren't the first to learn spinjitzu, were you?" Kai says, "No. Jay figured it out first, then me. Cole & Zane tied. I can tell you about the course." Lloyd says, "Go ahead," sitting down. Kai tells him about the course & what he endured. Kai says, "When you & I were alone in the volcano, I realized it was the job that we had to protect the weapons & that the Green Ninja's identity would be revealed. For a 7-year-old, you really had us going." Sensei Garmadon says, "So, who taught Lloyd spinjitzu? The monastery was destroyed." Kai says, "We tried to buy an apartment & it had a few similar portions of it, as did the Bounty. Remember when you resurrected those pirates, Sensei Garmadon?" At this he says, "Yes. They locked us up. Not the brightest, but smarter than the Skeleton army." Kai asks him what he remembers of that day, & he says, "Jay spilling the gumballs." Kai says, "Lloyd got a barrel topped on himself. He focused long enough to do spinjitzu." Misako says, "So, when did Lloyd grow up?" Lloyd says, "When Dad awoke the Grundle," rubbing his leg. Kai explains that & Sensei Garmadon says, "I'm surprised I succeeded. Lloyd had to age about 10 years according to the prophecy, but remain younger that the elemental ninjas." Kai says, "Eighteen, is how old we were. When Lloyd emerged, he was shocked at his change. When Lloyd asked why he had to clean up after the Ultra Dragon, Cole said, 'Didn't your mom let you have a pet?'" Lloyd says, "I said, 'I don't remember my Mom. I've been at Darkley's my whole life.'" Kai says, "Jay smacked Cole, but each of us had our own assumptions. Mine was that you died shortly after Lloyd's birth." Misako says, "Your assumption is logical. When I realized that I was carrying Lloyd, my father-in-law told me that my life would be in danger. Lloyd's birth was nearly the cause of my death. I was discharged, but severely exhausted." Sensei says, "My body wasn't completely black, just my lower half was. I was moved when they put Lloyd in my arms. As I was still in the Overlord's grasp, I learned that the dark matter contained blood from my father. When it made contact with Nya, she broke free using spinjitzu." Kai says, "She's a fighter anyway. Her aim was Lloyd. Cole pushed Lloyd & took the hit. We had to continue on. Jay was next," Sensei Garmadon says, "The last words before I slipped into the complete darkness I heard were Zane's calculation. When I could see, I saw that Cole pinned Zane & Jay bit him." Kai says, "I knew that if Nya hit Lloyd, it'd be game over. That's why I said I'd take care of her. It was Lloyd's destiny, each of us trying to stall, me being the only one with much luck. How's that leg?" Lloyd says, "Still sore. Kai, in the volcano, I felt that you were going to look after me, even if it meant dying. What happened?" Kai sighs & says, "I said, 'Lloyd, I'm gonna get you out of here!' you began to faint & you fell on my body. When the others told you about their colors, we were enveloped in fire, I was red & so were you. I began to do spinjitzu & formed the ball of fire. We weren't burnt, I just had to figure out how to steer us in the right way. Once we made contact, then I passed out." Sensei Garmadon says, "Nya splashed cold water on you. I said, 'Is that really Lloyd?' I knew how you survived, Kai, but was unsure of Lloyd." Kai says, "We were all glad when you came to," & repeats what Sensei Wu said to him. Kai says, "I can see what medicine is in town. Your leg is still broken, according to Dr. Julien & Zane. Zane did a scan as you walked off. After the photos, Dareth drove Jay & Nya to the junkyard. Cole got into the car with his dad. Unfortunately, Zane is mourning." Lloyd says, "Why?" Kai says, "Remember how we met up with him? Zane researched the elixir & found out it would only keep his father alive for a few years. Since we altered time, which threw things off. He fell over & Zane started to cry. I was driving just to tell Jay & Nya what happened, but I saw you all. Zane said that we should give him some time before his burial. I asked him what to tell you." Lloyd is still in shock & Kai tells him what to do. He drives off, after a spinjitzu demo with Misako. A storm opens in the sky & takes them all.

(Metallica Island, 3 days later, Ash's P.O.V.)

"May & Solidad just looked over their notes again. I can't believe we saw Looker again. At least Zet & Ellie get along with Mightyena. Trent's so cool. Why did he call me Ashton? What's wrong with Cilan? Who's the other guy? Who's the woman next to him? How's Meowth? When did he turn good? When did he have kids? To think, I competed in Sinnoh 3 years ago. Dawn's happy with Kenny," my thought process is cut off. I say, "Bulbasaur, what's wrong?" I see a figure in the water & say, "Vine Whip!" Bulbasaur can't reach. I don't know how deep the water is or isn't when the next voice says, "I've got an idea! Leafeon, curtain!" I say, "Zoey, Leafeon knows Vine Whip?" My ex-girlfriend's rival says, "No. Leafeon knows Trump Card. Ash, send out your Kirlia." I say, "Okay. Kirlia, I choose you!" Zoey says, "Leafeon, use Trump Card!" Leafeon produces a red card & I say, "Kirlia, Psychic!" Kirlia uses Psychic on the card & lowers it. I say, "Bulbasaur, get on the card." Bulbasaur does so & Kirlia uses Psychic to send Bulbasaur forward. I shout, "Vine Whip!" Bulbasaur is able to do so. A calm voice says, "Another one?" I turn & bow before saying, "Afraid so, but he doesn't seem like he's from here, Boss." Zoey says, "He's injured, sir." The voice says, "Ashton, I told you not to call me that. I'm his second-in-command." As Bulbasaur & Kirlia return, Zoey's comment is confirmed. The voice says, "Zoey, would you mind taking one of the twins?" Zoey says, "Sure. Leafeon, return." She puts the ball in her pocket & says, "Come here, Liana," taking one of his kids out. I say, "Pikachu, Chu, why don't you get Jonah?" & take his son. I say, "James, I think his leg is broken." James says, "Twer, I mean, Ashton, you're right. Ash, you know your name legally is Ashton, don't you?" We help this guy & James says, "He did it to protect you." The guy says, "Mom, Dad? What happened?" I say, "You got separated from your parents. According to the police report, the last name is Garmadon." The guy opens his eyes & says, "Yeah. I'm Lloyd. I can swim, but my leg's broken." I say, "I'm Ashton, but everyone calls me Ash." James says, "And I'm James. Former Team Rocket agent, proud father of 3-year-old twins. Can you stand up?" Lloyd does & says, "I can't walk. Where are my parents?" James says, "We're unsure. Ash, Zoey, a few others & I are part of a group of fighters." Lloyd limps & 3 Poké Balls fall out. James says, "This is what they meant. Lloyd, welcome to the world of Pokémon." I say, "Let's get you inside."

(Somewhere in Kalos, Garmadon's P.O.V.)

I say, "Where's my son?" Misako says, "More importantly, where are we?" A girl wearing a white dress says, "Gardevoir, you got her?" The Gardevoir is holding a young girl & the girl says, "My name is Diantha. Mr. & Mrs. Garmadon, welcome to the world of Pokémon. Gardevoir, Teleport us all to the base." We're teleported to an island. Diantha says, "Your son is alive. Our world has evil people. Hopefully, the fighters found your son." She pulls a device out of her pocket & suddenly, something that looks like the Gardevoir appears. Diantha says, "Kirlia? Gardevoir, do you think?" The Gardevoir begins to say parts of its name to the Kirlia, who does the same. Gardevoir nods to the Kirlia, who then disappears. Diantha says, "Gardevoir, who owns that Kirlia?" "Gar. Devoir," & looks at Misako & I. Diantha uses the device & says, "Gardevoir, return." Diantha has brown hair & blue eyes. She says, "That Kirlia belongs to one of our fighters. Your son is alive & safe. He's awake, but he's far from us." I say, "That's all that matters."

Author's Note: I don't like how they never went into Misako learning spinjitzu. What do the notes say? Why did James turn good? Who ends up with Breloom? Is Ash dating Zoey? More will be revealed in future chapters! Obviously, "Xam" & "Werd" are names spelled backwards: Max & Drew. IF you want to know where I actually got the idea of Harley & Tyson being extremely evil, PM me; it's disturbing, but it's also true.
