Hello, everyone! I'm back with a new story! I hope everyone will enjoy this story and without further ado, let's start!
Normal POV
During their journey in the Sinnoh League, Ash and the others were heading to Iron Island after being contacted by Ash's rival, Barry, who's Empoleon had suddenly started to attack him and it wasn't just Empoleon, other Steel type Pokemon on Iron Island were all being affected by something on the island as Ash and the others decided to go investigate. There, they encountered Riley and Lucario after almost being attacked by an Aggron. That was when they found out that there were low frequency sound waves somewhere on the island, affecting the Steel type Pokemon. Lucario led the way as they arrived at the site where Team Galactic was putting their plans into action.
" What's that?"
" Looks like some sort of ruins."
" Look... Team Galactic."
" Which means this place might have something to do with the time-space legend."
" When Lucario sensed a lot of people, it must've been sensing Team Galactic."
" Who are Team Galactic?"
" They're trying to uncover the legend of Sinnoh time-space and they're apparently going after Dialga and Palkia."
" Incredible."
Lucario growled.
" So this must be the source. The low frequency sound waves causing all the trouble. They have to be coming from these ruins. I had no idea ruins made out of a metal like substance even existed on Iron Island."
" I'll bet Team Galactic discovered them and dug them up."
" No doubt about it."
Lucario spotted a machine as it pointed to it.
" What? You must be sensing great power. Focus your aura and find out as much as you can. It's got to have something to do with those sound waves."
Lucario focused while Mars took the Spear Key from the machine. The Key reacted once it was near a pillar as it floated up and inserted into the hole in the pillar as the ruins glowed and a beam shot up.
" Perfect, just like Cyrus said."
The beam caused Ash and the others to shield their eyes while Lucario was repelled. That was when it got up with a blue glow in its eyes.
" Lucario?"
" It's acting strange."
" No, not Lucario too...!"
Lucario readied an Aura Sphere and was ready to attack them.
" Lucario, stop!"
" Lucario!"
Lucario released the Aura Sphere as Ash and the others found themselves protected by a protective barrier.
" Is this an aura?!"
" You can work with auras too, Riley?"
" The truth is, I've been training as an aura guardian with Lucario."
" But why is Lucario acting that way? Lucario's been protecting itself with its aura, right?"
" Something far more powerful than Lucario's aura is coming from the ruins... To powerful for Lucario to protect itself against."
Lucario used Bone Rush as it started to attack the surrounding Pokemon.
" Lucario, return!"
Lucario dodged the beam coming from the Pokeball as it broke the Pokeball in half while Riley got thrown back. It then targetted Riley while Ash rushed to block the Bone Rush from hitting Riley.
" Lucario, stop it!"
Ash and Brock restrained its arms while it struggled to break free from the control.
" Lucario, snap out of it!"
" Try to calm down!"
" Riley, are you alright?!"
" Yeah, I'm fine... Ash, Brock! Tell Pikachu to use Thumderbolt!"
" Thunderbolt?! But Riley, Lucario's in pain!"
" Do it for Lucario!"
Ash hesitated after looking at Lucario.
" Use Thunderbolt on Lucario while you can, hurry!"
" You've got to do it, Ash."
" But Brock!"
" I know how you feel but you've got no choice."
" Pika pi! Pikachu!"
" Pikachu, you too?! ... Alright, Pikachu! Use Thunderbolt on Lucario!"
Pikachu used its Thunderbolt as it hit all three of them and they got thrown back. Lucario recovered quickly and ran to the ruins.
" After Lucario!"
Ash and the others chased after Lucario as they watched it running towards the ruins.
" Look! Over there!"
They looked over to the beam as they saw someone emerging out of it while encased in a sphere.
" So he finally appeared." Mars smirked
The boy landed as the sphere disappeared and he opened his eyes.
" What...? Where am I?"
" Capture him!"
The Golbat fired their Shadow Balls as the boy kept getting hit. That was when they also spotted Lucario.
" Ugh, those Steel types are so annoying! Purugly, chase it away! The rest of you grunts, get that boy on board!"
" Yes, sir!"
While Lucario was defeated, the boy was being taken away by grunts as Ash and the others went to take action to try to stop them. Mars gasped when she saw them.
" Not them! What do they want?! Don't let them get any closer!"
Purugly and the Golbat went to stop Ash and Brock from advancing.
" Just hang in there, Lucario! Staravia, take Pikachu and get going!"
" I'll get that guy away from Team Galactic! Sudowoodo, use Double Edge! Croguank, use Brick Break!"
Croguank got some of the Golbat out of the way while Sudowoodo hit the grunts and got the boy back from them. The boy woke up after that.
" Thank you..."
" You alright?"
" Yes, I'm alright... Thank you both for saving me..."
" No problem."
They then turned to the battle as Pikachu finally managed to take down the machine and the pillar collapsed. A Golbat caught the Key and Mars caught it.
" As long as we have this, we'll be fine. Sir, we're leaving now but we can't secure the target."
She listened to the instructions before turning to the grunts.
" Retreat at once!"
" Sir!"
The grunts collected briefcases as they set up bombs inside the ruins. Brock leaned the boy on a rock as they ran after Team Galactic as Mars held out a button.
" Alright, come any closer and I'll blow up the entire island."
" Blow it up?!"
" You wired everything with bombs?!"
" Lucario, find them all."
" I'm not bluffing. I don't bluff. We don't need your world so were simply going to destroy it, understand? Meantime, I'll press this when I feel like it. I hope you enjoy running."
Mars looked over to the boy for awhile before she entered the helicopter as they flew off.
" Those jerks..."
Lucario opened its eyes as it called Riley.
" Good."
" So, Riley, did you locate the bombs?"
" No, Lucario did. The explosives are all located directly below the ruins. But since you all saved Lucario and the other Pokemon, I would say, it's our turn now!"
Lucario nodded.
" Lucario and I will find a way to take care of those bombs, so you guys go and help your friends."
" Right!"
" I'll help too...!"
The boy got up.
" Hey, don't exert yourself!"
" You saved me, so I'm going to help too! Please, let me help your friends!"
" Alright, let's go! This way!"
They went to help Dawn and the others as they looked down the crevice while explaining the situation.
" What?! Dealing with bombs is the last thing we need!"
" You won't be safe out here! Return!"
Jessie returned her Pokemon to their Pokeballs. The boy looked down at the crevice as he looked around for something he could use.
" I don't see any way for us to get them up... All I see are bombs..."
" But I don't see them..."
" There must be a way to get them out of there..."
" Oh yeah! Chimchar, come out! Would you use dig to make a tunnel?!"
Chimchar immediately started digging.
" Hey, wait! This ground is too hard for someone to dig out of!"
Chimchar came back up with its red and swelling hands.
" Chimchar, are you okay?"
" Let it rest. I'm still trying to think up of something..."
The boy reached into his pocket as he suddenly heard a clink of metal and took out two steel balls.
" This is... It might work!"
" What's that?"
" All of you, make a space! I'm going to get you guys out of there!"
The boy threw the balls into the crevice as they hit the empty space Dawn and the others made and steel poles emerged one by one.
" Hang onto them! They'll bring you right up!"
They hung onto the steel poles as they were shot out of the crevice and they heaved a sigh of relief while the poles disappeared and the steel balls floated back to the boy's hand.
" Thank you, Sin Buster..."
The steel balls disappeared after that. Suddenly, the ground started to shake.
" It's blowing!"
" What about Riley?!"
The boy slid down the cliff to get to the ruins.
" Hey, wait a second! It's too dangerous!"
" Come back!"
The boy took out a blue ring as he wore it while running into the ruins and saw Riley and Lucario surrounding the blast with their aura.
" I'm going to help you guys!"
" No, don't! It's dangerous!"
" I only have one shot at this...! I need to make it count!" The boy thought
The boy quickly slid under the aura as he aimed the ring at the aura. Blue flames were shot out as it pushed the aura out of the ruins and into the sky as it exploded.
" We did it...!"
The three went out of the ruins after that. The boy looked at the ring as it also disappeared.
" Thank you too, Percival..."
The boy went to lean on a rock to rest as Team Rocket sneaked off while the Steel type Pokemon surrounded the ruins to thank Ash and the others. Soon, the sun started to set as Carolina and other researches came out from helicopters to research the ruins.
" Oh, but Carolina... That guy came out from the beam and Team Galactic was capturing him too."
" I see."
The boy woke up as he rubbed the rest of the sleep out of his eyes.
" So it wasn't a dream..."
" Hello there. My name is Carolina and I'm a Pokemon Professor."
" Hello..."
Carolina's eyes narrowed as she took out a device sticking on the boy's jacket.
" What is that?"
" Odd... I don't remember having that on my jacket..."
" I don't think so either. Looks like a device that's reading something in your body. I'll do a quick check on this but in the meantime, why don't you follow these kids on a journey together?"
" A journey?"
" Yeah, we're travelling all across the Sinnoh League! My name's Ash and I'm training to become a Pokemon Master! And this is my partner, Pikachu!"
" Pika!"
" I'm Brock. I'm training to become a Pokemon Breeder."
" And I'm Dawn! I'm training to become a Top Pokemon Coordinator! And this is Piplup!"
" Piplup!"
" And I'm Riley. This is my partner, Lucario."
" I'm Barry!"
" Oh... I'm Aichi Sendou. It's nice to meet everyone."
" So Aichi, how did you get here?"
" I'm not sure myself... I was with my friends, then some light caught me off guard and when I opened my eyes, I was here... Wherever I am now..."
" Do you know where you live?"
" Yes, I know but I'm pretty sure it's not here."
" What do you mean?"
" The truth is... I don't think I'm from this world."
" Huh?!"
" You guys talked about Pokemon and stuff but I've never heard of something like that, much less even knowing they even existed. So I'm sure that I came from a time-space warp somehow."
" That's right! Team Galactic was always bent on researching on how the time-space works, so that they can get Dialga and Palkia!"
" They must've known that if they'd activated these ruins, Aichi would've appeared at some point."
" I don't understand... I mean, it doesn't make any sense as to why they want to capture me."
" I think I know. Come over here, kids."
They went to where Carolina was as they saw some writings on the pillars.
" It says here that once the Spear Pillar is starting to be located, a distant being from a different world will travel to unveil hidden secrets. Like, time-space for example."
" Spear Pillar?"
" Time-space?"
" Is it talking about Gear Chronicle...?" Aichi muttered
" Did you say something?"
" N-No..."
" Either way, we need to somehow get you back to your home before Team Galactic strikes again. I'm pretty sure the device they attached to you was to test how much power you have."
" So, the bombs were a lure so that he could use his powers?!"
" That might be the case. Please exercise caution on your journey now, alright? Team Galactic will always be coming after him for sure."
" Right!"
" W-Wait, please! I-I don't want to cause any trouble to all of you so I'll just try to make my way back home myself."
" Hey, there's no trouble, really. Besides, Team Galactic is also our enemy. And if someone is in trouble, we'll always be there to help them! Right, Pikachu?"
" Pika!"
" Besides, wandering in a place unfamiliar to you will put you in some confusion so it is best for you to stay with us."
" I... Well, alright then. B-But promise me that if anything gets too dangerous while trying to help me, don't come after me. I-It's not worth sacrificing your lives for me. Anyway, I'm sure there's someone coming after me soon and once he comes, I'm going with him. So..."
" Alright then. It's settled! We'll show you around Iron Island and then tomorrow, we can set off to continue our journey!"
" Great idea!"
" Before all of you go, I'll give you a few things you need for your journey. A belt to keep your Pokeballs and a Pokedex."
" Uh... I don't really think I need them though..."
" Just take them, Aichi. Who knows, it might even help on your journey."
" A-Alright then... Thank you very much."
And so, Ash and the others left the area while Riley stayed to show Carolina around the Iron Island too.
Meanwhile, in Team Galactic's Headquaters... Cyrus was looking at the scans for Mount Coronet.
" Sir, I've received the scan data of the boy that appeared from the beam."
" And the results?"
" Interestingly, his powers only exceeded 10%. Which means that he didn't even use more than a quarter of his powers. He's hiding another 90% of his powers deep within him."
" And you're sure he's from another world?"
" Yes, considering how other worldly he used his powers, there's no doubt about it."
Saturn keyed in a few data as the screen displayed Aichi using the steel balls and the ring.
" Of course, we could've learnt more if those kids didn't interfere in our capture."
" Capture him at all costs. He might become our other alternative in summoning Dialga and Palkia."
" Understood."
Two days later on their journey, Ash and the others were now at Chocovine Town for Dawn's next Pokemon Contest.
" So how are you going along, Aichi?"
" I've gotten used to it. Everything is so amazing..."
" Yeah and this festival is amazing too."
They walked towards a store selling Phione merchandise as Aichi looked at the screen while Ash and the others chatted with the owner of the store.
" They're cute."
" Hey, Aichi! Want to go to the Phione Watching tonight? They said that it'll bring us good luck and we get to see those cute Phione!"
" Sure!"
Night soon fell and they headed to watch the Phione. While Ash and the others looked out of one of the windows to look at the Phione, Aichi was looking at the different Pokemon in the sea other than the Phione. He took out his Pokedex to learn their names too.
" Wow... They're amazing..."
That was when a Phione stopped to look at him as it swam towards him while smiling.
" A Phione!"
Aichi smiled as well as Phione touched the window and Aichi did the same. A faint gentle aura leaked out of Aichi as Phione danced happily in the water.
" You really are cute."
It was soon time to head off as Aichi waved the Phione goodbye with a slightly sad look and left with Ash and the others.
" The Phione were cute, weren't they, Aichi?"
" Yeah. The other Pokemon were amazing too. I think it's worth the exploration. There's so many Pokemon out there that are mysterious at times too."
" Yeah, we can agree on that."
" Alright! I'm going to get hyped up for tomorrow's training for my Pokemon Contest!"
" And I'm gonna get myself hyped for my Gym Battle!"
" Don't get too hyped up though. We're still not at Snowpoint City yet."
" Oh, right..."
They laughed after that while heading towards the Pokemon Center for a good night's sleep. The next morning, they did some stretches and headed to shopping with Dawn.
" Aichi, do you want to see some of these seals with me?"
" Seals?"
Aichi walked over to her as she explained how Pokemon Contests work and Aichi nodded at the explanation.
" Wow... There's so many varieties of them."
" Right?! You should try it out sometime once you catch your own Pokemon!"
" But I..."
" Don't hesitate so much. Well, everyone's done picking their seals. Do you want to buy any?"
" No, it's okay."
" Alright then. We should go now before Ash and Brock gets tired."
" Yeah."
They apologised to Ash and Brock as they finally headed to a seaside to practice.
" Dawn sure is amazing. That one was great."
Suddenly, a Phione jumped out of the water as it hopped over to Buneary.
" That's the same Phione from last night!"
" I think it likes your Buneary and wants to have a date with it..."
" Huh?!"
Piplup tried to shake hands with Phione but it jumped back and fired an Ice Beam at Piplup. Piplup broke free and sweat dropped as a giant Magikarp submarine emerged.
" Not them!"
Team Rocket came out from the submarine after that.
" You've been a naughty little Water type but now, after a lengthy search, it's back in the pot you go."
" Team Rocket! I'll bet you wanna steal Phione!"
" I thought they've already learnt their lesson when they've tried to steal a Deoxys..." Aichi said
" They'll never learn..."
Team Rocket chanted their motto after that.
" Don't even think about trying to take Phione!"
" A comedian. The real joke is that the Phione is ours."
" So come on, Phione. Come to James!"
Phione stepped back as it suddenly saw Buneary going behind Pikachu. It got jealous and started to talk to Pikachu.
" Dawn, I've been meaning to ask but... Does your Buneary like Ash's Pikachu?"
" Yeah."
" I think Phione's jealous..."
" Huh?!"
" Meowth, can you translate that?"
" Well, believe it or not. Phione's challenging Pikachu to a battle."
" Battle?!"
" You might want to sit down for this but Phione says whoever wins it gets to be with Buneary to have it to hold."
" Well, if you had told me that Phione had that kind of moxie, I never would've believed it."
" Oh dear, that's so romantic!"
" A troubled soul searching for love... Phione, I totally understand!"
" What?!"
" It's okay, Ash. You'll learn it as you go along." Aichi assured
Buneary cut in between Pikachu and Phione after that and started talking to Phione.
" Buneary?"
" Did you get that one too?"
" Yeah. Buneary says if Phione's got a thing cooking for Buneary then they should do the battling. 'Beat me, and I'll go on a dat with you on the ocean side.'"
" Well, this is worth the price of admission right here."
They went to the ocean side for the battle after that.
" This is really fighting for love right now..."
" Sounds like you're experienced." Dawn teased
" No, I-uh... I'm not..."
" Listen, Ash. It looks like this thing's serious. Knowing that, we've got to see this thing through!"
" Guess you're right."
Buneary started the battle with Dizzy Punch while Phione used Double Team to avoid the attack. Phione then fired a Supersonic while Buneary bounced up to dodge it. Phione dodged a flying kick from Buneary using Acid Armor and jumped out of the water to use Supersonic once again on Buneary. This time, it succeeded as Buneary was hopping in all directions. Piplup tried to help but Phione shot out Ice Beam to stop it.
" Piplup, not you too!"
The confusion on Buneary worn off after that as Piplup broke out of the ice. Buneary fired its Ice Beam while Phione did the same and both attacks collided.
" Wow... Their Ice Beams are so powerful..."
Phione soon got exhausted as Buneary took the chance to bounce and hit Phione and it fainted.
" Buneary won!"
" And that's it!"
Brock ran towards Phion to check on it as it woke up.
" Hey, you okay? That's a relief. Listen, I don't really think you should be battling anymore."
Phione went over to Buneary and started talking sadly.
" Alright, what's the current buzz?"
" Phione's saying... goodbye."
" Goodbye?! Just a minute! We're not going to let your personal problems get in our way!"
" Deal with them on your own time!"
" Back here on the double!"
" They're going after Phione again!"
" Man! Team Rocket!"
" Let's do something!"
" What are you going to do?! Stop us with cute?!"
" Buneary, use Ice Beam!"
Buneary and Phione used their Ice Beam and froze Team Rocket.
" Now, Pikachu! Thunderbolt, let's go!"
Pikachu fired its Thunderbolt and Team Rocket was blasted off again. Soon, the sun started to set as they watched Phione going back into the ocean.
" Wow, poor Phione sure looks lonely."
" You're right."
" I feel its pain! The pain of lost love!"
Buneary hopped near the edge of the ocean as it started shouting to Phione. That was when Phione was happy again and shouted back.
" Hey, Dawn. What did Buneary say to Phione?"
" Buneary told Phione to cheer up cause they'll be battling again one of these days."
" Really?!"
" Uh huh! Buneary, isn't that right?"
Buneary smiled and hopped into Dawn's arms as they said their goodbyes to Phione when saw Phione's friends emerging from the water.
" Hey, look! Phione's buddies!"
" That's quite a welcoming party!"
" I'm so happy for Phione."
Phione soon dived back into the ocean with its friends as they got ready to head back to the Pokemon Center. That was when they hear another call and turned to the shore to see another Phione hopping towards them.
" Wait a minute, but didn't Phione go back already?!"
" That Phione..." Aichi exclaimed
Aichi slowly walked over to it as it cheered happily.
" You're that Phione that was playing with me yesterday, aren't you?"
Phione nodded.
" You came all this way to find me? But what about your friends?"
Phione pointed to another group of Phione watching them as it waved to them and the other Phione waved to it before diving down into the ocean.
" Wait a minute, aren't you going with them?"
Phione started to tell him something as Ash and the others came to their side.
" I think like the other Phione, this one likes you too. After all, you two were having a great time together yesterday!"
" Really? Is that true, Phione?"
Phione nodded as Aichi smiled.
" You really want to come along with me?"
Phione nodded again as Aichi nodded as well.
" Well, if it's alright with you."
Aichi took out a Pokeball and faced it to Phione. Phione tapped it and entered the Pokeball. The Pokeball shook a little before stopping, indicating that Phione was now captured.
" This is great! This is your very first Pokemon and it's actually a Phione!"
" Yeah... But I have so much mixed feelings right now... I guess the strongest feeling right now, is that I'm so happy."
" Aichi, if you don't mind, why don't you try out the Pokemon Contest?"
" The one you're joining in this town?"
" Yeah!"
" But I don't know anything about it... Much less even battle..."
" You'll do great! And I saw how your Phione danced in the water! It was beautiful!"
" But I..."
" Come on, Aichi! Think of that as a starting line in this world for you! That way, you'll be able to open up to more Pokemon and have even more fun here while you're at it!"
" I guess you're right... I'll try it out."
" Great! Time for more shopping tomorrow and then training with Phione."
" Thank you, everyone. And... Come on out, Phione."
Phione came out of its Pokeball as it went on Aichi's shoulder.
" Thank you too, Phione. I'm going to know much more about this world and now I'll have a partner too."
Phione cheered happily as they laughed and went back to the Pokemon Center for the night.
And that's the end of this chapter! I hope everyone will enjoy this new story! Thank you for reading and I'll see everyone in the next chapter!
