The Passage of Time
Rating: M
Description: Sent back to ancient times, one man and his Pokemon are humanity's only hope of restoring history before everything falls apart.
Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon, Nintendo, Game Freak and its affiliates do.
Chapter One: Dialga
As I was travelling back from the Pokemon League to go back to my hometown in Sinnoh, I suddenly heard a sound.
"Scott…Scott…"
"Who's there?"
"I am Dialga, Master of Time, and I require your assistance in a matter I cannot trust to any other human."
"But why me?"
"You have been chosen as the one human who will straighten out history before all of what you know falls apart."
A moment of silence…
"Again, why me?"
(sigh) "Come, I will show you what will befall all of humanity if you do not fix the Time Flow in history."
A bright light suddenly engulfs me as I started to protest, but before I could do anything…
A dark and desolate world appeared before my very eyes. Destroyed buildings and dead bodies were littered everywhere.
"Holy…shit. What the fuck happened here?"
"This is the world that will befall all of humanity if you do not fix the Time Flow in history. I am afraid that you ARE the only one who can."
"B-but what about my family, my friends…and most importantly, my Pokemon?"
"You may bring up to six of your Pokemon with you on your trip, but your friends and family cannot know about this perilous task I have given you."
"Why can't they know?"
"Because, by the time it will take you to explain everything to them, you would have been able to save all of humanity ten times over."
"Fine, I'll do it. What else will I need for this?"
"If you have any personal weapons for your own defense, bring them. You will need them, for there are many evil men in the past who will not think twice of killing you or your Pokemon."
Later on…
I had never thought I would use any of the weapons I had collected for show to use for helping humanity in the past, but yet here I was, strapping my sword to the back of my belt, putting on the Riot Energy Shield from Silph Co. on my left arm, holstering my Desert Eagles into their armpit holsters, placing my Uzi's in their thigh holsters, and shoving as many Full Restores, Max Revives, Full Heals, a lot of different Berries, and several First Aid Kits – as well as an M4 Assault Rifle and a Barrett Sniper Rifle with as much ammo as I could carry – into my backpack.
Now, as I stood in front of a PC in a local Pokemon Center, I thought, 'What Pokemon should I bring? I can't bring any legendaries, just in case it disrupts the Time Flow even more, so I should bring…'
After five minutes of thinking, I chose my most reliable Pokemon; Infernape, Luxray, Lucario, Staraptor, Golduck, and Gardevoir, and clipped their Pokeballs above my sword.
As I stepped outside, I heard Dialga say, "Are you ready to take on what awaits you in the past?"
"I am."
"Prepare for – "
"Trainer! Hey Trainer!"
I looked around to find a young lady running up to me.
(pants) "Phew, I got your attention at last…"
"Yes? I was just about to…erm…Fly to Snowbound City, ya, that's it."
"I just wanted to give you our new product that's all the rage now with all kinds of Trainers and Gym Leaders: Silph Co.'s Poke-translator! It allows you to understand what your Pokemon are saying instead of their names," she says as she gives me a pair.
"Clip-ons?"
"Yes, unfortunately, I don't have any more for earring-wearers, this is all I have left."
"Thank you…erm…"
"Elaine."
"Yes, thanks."
"Bye!" as she ran off to a nearby building.
"Now…where were we Dialga?"
"As I was saying, prepare for transit…"
As I put on the Poke-translators, a bright light engulfed me.
Continued in Chapter 2…
A/N: Well now, I just had to be a part of my own Fanfic, and a Pokemon one at that. All of the Pokemon will be from the D/P/P and earlier game series. And to answer any questions about my Pokemon selection, Golduck is not my usual Water-type Pokemon, I just picked it out of the blue. And the only Pokemon that I chose to have a definite Gender are my Infernape (Male), my Gardevoir (Female) and my Lucario (Male). I will choose the rest as I see fit. As for the weapons, I think that the M4 and the Barrett would fit in something like the backpack, considering it can hold an unlimited amount of stuff. And yes, I will need all the weapons I picked in later chapters.
Another note is that the Riot Energy Shield is a plain titanium bar with a handle (Think handheld detonator) that can turn so that the user can activate/deactivate it. It also has a 'Dead Man Switch', located on the handle to turn the Shield off if the users' heartbeat goes lower than his/her regular tempo (For instance, sleep, unconsciousness, or death). It is strapped onto either arm when deactivated, but when activated, a golden barrier appears to cover the height of the user, and the length of the bar itself, and it can be customized to go wider and higher, as specified to the user.
