Me: Finally! After months of preparations, my Pokémon Special and Inazuma Eleven crossover has started! Yes, I realize that there are more Pokémon and Inazuma Eleven crossovers out there, but they're mostly one-shots while this one is (hopefully) going to be a full fledged story. A few things that need to be made clear right here right now, so please stay focused through them! (Even though some are pretty obvious)

Kidou: First of all, although she won't be able to read this crossover, Falneou17 is dedicating this crossover to one of his best friends; whose birthday so happened to be today! Coincidence? Of course not! If it weren't for her, he wouldn't be the person he is today…

Gouenji: Next up is the fact that this is his first story that doesn't focus primarily on Pokémon (at least here on this site). Keep in mind that, because of this, just like the case was with Specialventure Academy, his writing style may change drastically over the chapters as he finds out what is the best way of writing this crossover story.

Ichinose: The storyline will be based on the Aliea Academy arc! For those who need more explanations, that will be between episode 27 all the way up to episode 67 of the original series of Inazuma Eleven! Having said that, like Crimson Sunlight, Falneou17 will add in scenes of his own, in addition to making changes to some details of the story in comparison to the original! Not only will this mean that those who have watched the Aliea Academy arc of Inazuma Eleven won't know exactly what's going to happen, those who have not watched it yet will not be at a complete disadvantage in comparison to those who have!

Handa: Japanese naming systems for both series! In other words, Green refers to Red's rival with the Charizard, Blue refers to the girl with the Blastoise, Hissatsu Techniques will be of their Japanese counterparts (i.e. Honoo no Kazamidori instead of Fire Rooster; translations of the move will be in the end note) and, if Falneou17 chooses to make them appear, any Inazuma Eleven characters will have their Japanese names (i.e. Endou Mamoru instead of Mark Evans).

Domon: The ages are altered, so heads up everybody! For those who appear in this story: Kanto/Johto are seventeen, Hoenn/Unova are sixteen and Sinnoh are fifteen. The canon age gaps are too big for the sake of the story, which is why their ages are changed. If the canon age gaps were to be used, the Pallet trio will be in their early twenties while the Sinnoh trio are still eleven, seeing as the Emerald Battle Frontier battle is approximately six years prior to the start of the journey of Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum.

Megane: Finally, if it isn't obvious already, this story may contain spoilers for the Aliea Academy arc of Inazuma Eleven! In other words, if you haven't watched Inazuma Eleven yet, better do so before you start reading this (also so you have some background to the story).

Me: That sure was longer than I had planned… anyways, before we head into the actual story there's one last thing left to do… The disclaimer! Endou!

Endou: Roger! Falneou17 does not own anything related to Pokémon or Inazuma Eleven, but he heavily recommends the both of them if you're reading this!

Two boys walked down the busy street of downtown Pallet Town, both carrying a plastic bag that was filled to the brim with food and other goods. The slightly taller of the two boys put his bag down for a second to readjust his cap, casting a cool shadow over his face to protect him from the heat. His friend, not having the luxury of having a personal shadow casting cap, was waiting impatiently for his friend to catch up to him. What more, the clothing of the shorter male was of a predominantly dark blue almost black in color, and the poor boy was visibly very uncomfortable.

"Could you not stop every five seconds to play with your cap?" the shorter of two asked, irritated, as soon as his companion had caught up to him, "Seriously Gold, if I got a dollar for every single time you stopped to readjust your cap I would have enough money to get another bag!"

"Hey! It's not my fault it's suddenly so hot today!" the taller boy, Gold, shot back angrily while fanning himself, desperately trying to combat the heat to no avail. After a short three minutes of silence, in which Gold stopped another eight or so times, the silence between the two was broken once again, "By the way, not for nothing, but why are we doing all this grocery shopping anyway? It's not like you at all to be doing this you know… Silver!"

"It's not for me…" the other boy, Silver, muttered, his long red hair swaying in the breeze. He took a deep breath before giving a real answer, "I was asked to get all this by a friend of mine…"

"Oh really…?" Gold asked, slightly skeptical, "By who?"

"Yellow…" was all the response he received.

"What? Yellow?!" Gold exclaimed, recalling the blonde girl they often hung out with. Shaking the thought out of his head, the amber-eyed boy couldn't help himself from saying the next words, "The two of you are together?"

"What are you talking about?" Silver glanced over at Gold before sighing, "We're not… she just asked me to get all of this for her as she was busy with something else…"

"And you expect me to believe that?" Gold taunted the red head with a grin. Silver, in turn, glared at his friend menacingly, effectively shutting him up. Coughing awkwardly, Gold tried to ease the tension that was growing in between the two, "So why did Yellow asked you to get all of this?"

"I'm not supposed to tell you…" Silver deadpanned.

"You're not supposed to tell me?" Gold repeated, astonished. Silver sighed again, all the while wondering why he let Gold come with him in the first place. He sighed once more when he remembered that Yellow said that he wouldn't be able to carry all the stuff on his own. Considering the fact that he was already struggling with one bag, he knew that she was right, "Can't you give me a hint?"

"No!"

"Please?"

"I said no!"

"But —"

"Silver-senpai! Gold-senpai!" a new, cheerful voice interrupted Gold, preventing him from finishing his sentence, much to the red head's delight. The two boys turned in the direction of the voice to see a younger brown haired girl standing, two identical bags filled to the brim in either one of her hands, "The two of you better hurry up! We're already late!"

"Wait, you too?" Gold asked, shocked, eyeing the two bags that were bulging with the food, "Don't tell me…"

"Yellow-senpai miscalculated everything and we apparently needed twice as much than she had originally planned, which is why she asked me to help out!" Sapphire chirped cheerfully, walking ahead of the two boys at a fast pace, forcing them to quicken their pace to keep up with her.

"So Sapphire…" Gold huffed, visibly exhausted from carrying the one single bag that he was carrying. Silver, albeit tiring out as well, did his best not to show his exhaustion, "Why are we doing all of this?"

"Sorry senpai, can't tell you!" Sapphire called out over her shoulder in reply, "Yellow-senpai made me promise not to tell anyone no matter what happened!"

"And what would happen if you would accidentally, you know, spill the beans?" Gold asked, hoping to find an opening. Sapphire flinched for a moment, weighing her options, but before she had the chance to speak up someone already beat her to it.

"Stop asking Gold! She obviously doesn't want to tell you so don't try and make her do something she doesn't want to do!" Silver scolded, catching Gold off guard. Sapphire, on the other hand, send a grateful smile in Silver's direction, who returned it with a silent nod. Thankfully, at least for the red head, the three of them soon arrived where they had to be, "About time we got here! Now at least Gold can stop annoying us!"

"Hey!" Gold shouted angrily. Unfortunately for the amber eyed boy, however, both Silver and Sapphire had already entered the house in front of them, leaving Gold and his threats outside. Huffing angrily, he dragged the bag with him inside the house. Looking around, he saw that Sapphire had already dropped down on the couch. Before Gold could follow her example, however, he saw something red move from out of the corner of his eye, turning his head in time to see Silver head into what Gold assumed to be the kitchen. Rushing over there as soon as he dropped the shopping bag beside Silver's and Sapphire's, he saw Silver talk casually with their blonde classmate, Yellow. Gold, being tired of being forced to stay in the dark all the time, couldn't stop himself, "Yellow! Why did you need so much food and why couldn't anyone tell me what you needed all of this for?"

"Um, well, you see…" Yellow trailed off nervously, not expecting Gold to suddenly barge inside the kitchen and asking questions the way he did. Gold looked around the kitchen and, to his surprise, saw that Yellow, Silver and himself weren't the only ones in the kitchen. Apparently, Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum all knew what was going on as well as they were all busy with preparing pots and pans on the stove. Yellow, realizing that Gold was watching her juniors at work, quickly tried to cover up for them, "I wanted to start a charity program and give away meals to the poor and —"

"Sorry Yellow, but I'm not that stupid!" Gold interrupted the blonde, before turning to his juniors. Yellow, in turn, mumbled something under her breath and quickly left the kitchen, "Hey Pearl! What's going on around here?"

"Sorry Gold-senpai, I can't tell you!" Pearl shouted in response as he was busy grabbing pots and pans left and right. All of a sudden, he noticed Diamond sneaking ingredients in his jacket, "Dia, no Diamond! Stop that!"

"But Pearl, you know that seeing food makes me hungry…" Diamond whined as he watched with a sad expression on his face as Pearl stored all the food that Diamond took back on the shelves, "At least let me have a little snack!"

"You know that we can't afford to stop now right?" Pearl scolded, albeit his tone was much different from before, being more calm and understanding. Taking a deep breath, the blonde boy looked his friend straight in the eyes, "Yellow-senpai is counting on us! She specifically asked us to help her out, so we can't disappoint her! Do you want her to regret asking us for help?"

"No, but —" Diamond began, but was interrupted soon after.

"Come on you two, just get a room already!" Gold suddenly taunted, roaring with laughter. Upon fully understanding what their senior was talking about, Diamond and Pearl quickly broke apart from each other. Silver, on the other hand, sighed exasperatedly before turning his back to his juniors and deciding to check up on the girls in the living room.

"I know it's wrong, but —" Yellow whispered, stopping abruptly when she heard movement. She let out a sigh of relief when she realized it was only Silver, "Sorry Silver, I thought you were somebody else…"

"That's alright," Silver replied quickly, knowing that Yellow was a bit on the careful side about this. Sitting down on the armchair, he turned to the two girls sitting on the couch, "But how long are you going to keep it a secret from him if you went on to tell everybody else?"

"Silver-senpai!" Sapphire exclaimed, looking at the redhead with an expression that was a mix of disbelief and shock, "I know you're smart, so you should be able to figure that out yourself right?"

"Respect your senior"

"Sorry…" Sapphire muttered, cringing slightly at Silver's gaze.

"Anyway…" Silver took a deep breath, turning to the blonde in front of him once more, "How long?"

"As long as possible," was the reply, which visibly caught both Silver and Sapphire off guard, "I don't like keeping people in the dark like this…"

"But…?" Sapphire asked curiously, trying to spur her senior on as she knew full well that there was more to the story than just that. Although hiding it impressively well, Silver was just as curious as the brunette on the couch was.

"But Gold isn't the best at keeping secrets…" Yellow finally finished. Silver nodded in understanding and Sapphire turned to look at the kitchen's door before roaring with laughter. Smiling slightly, the blonde finished with "So please help me keep this away from him… at least for now…"

"Not like I would tell him anything…" Silver deadpanned, causing Yellow and Sapphire to laugh at his tone, "But that aside, we're missing quite a few people here right?"

"We sure do! I'll be right back!" Sapphire exclaimed, rushing out of the house. Although she didn't give her seniors an explanation as to why she was in such a rush or where she was going, both Yellow and Silver knew the answer to both questions already.

"They should be here any minute now," Yellow mumbled nervously, glancing at the clock overhead. Silver followed her example and saw that she was right, "I should go and help everybody in the kitchen right?"

"It's not so much that those three need much help in the baking but that somebody needs to take care of the other monstrosity in there…" Silver sighed while Yellow broke into a giggling fit, "I'm on it…"

"Thank you… for everything!" Yellow smiled, which was responded by Silver through a nod. While the blonde proceeded to clean up the living room slightly, she could hear a yelp of pain from the kitchen. Unable to resist the urge to look up, Yellow watched Silver drag Gold out of the house through the back door, the latter struggling heavily to break free of the red head's iron grip to no avail. Making a mental note to properly thank Silver later, Yellow rushed over to the kitchen where her juniors were all busy baking, "Alright everybody! They can be here at any moment so let's hurry!"

"TAKE CARE!" the brunet shouted, waving cheerfully and grabbing the attention of the people around him. The boy, however, seemed like he was completely oblivious to all the stares he was getting. Instead, he actually began shouting louder, "UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN!"

"Y-Yeah…" the brunette the boy was waving goodbye to muttered, slightly embarrassed at the scene her friend was creating. With a last wave, she entered the carriage and the train started moving, disappearing from sight in a matter of seconds.

"You better get back safely…" the boy mumbled before slumping down on a nearby bench. After a while, he stood back up and was about to go until a familiar face caught his eye, "Sapphire! Over here!"

"There you are!" Sapphire called out cheerfully, skipping over to the brunet, "But Black, what are you doing out here alone? I thought you were with —?"

"I was… I'm afraid you just missed her…" Black nodded in the direction of the train platform, causing Sapphire to groan, "If you're here does that mean it's almost time?"

"I knew you can lose track of time easily, but seriously Black…" Sapphire facepalmed, before pointing to something above Black's head. When Black looked up, he saw that there was a clock hanging above him, making him laugh in embarrassment, "Anyway, we better hurry! Yellow-senpai is getting restless!"

"Alright, lead the way!" Black said, adjusting his cap and vest. Sapphire nodded, and the two teens were soon running through the streets.

"Would either of you be kind enough to tell me why you two are dragging me around the city again?" a visibly annoyed brown haired boy of about seventeen asked as he was semi-led semi-pulled through the streets by a boy with jet black hair and a girl with long brown hair, both teens were trying to stifle their laughter. The brunet, whose hair spiked up like the quills of a porcupine, put his hands in his pockets before adding in a low tone, "Didn't I say that I don't like going into town?"

"Oh lighten up spiky," the girl teased in response, with the brunet mumbling something under his breath and the other boy roaring with laughter, "Red and I have gone out of our way to spend some quality time with you! Isn't that right Red?"

"That's right Blue!" Red exclaimed cheerfully, before turning to his brown haired friend, "Relax and have some fun Green! Shouldn't you be the happiest person in the world right about now?"

"Being dragged through a building like this against one's will can seriously dampen anybody's mood you know…" Green deadpanned, causing both Red and Blue to laugh again, "Can we go yet? This is wasting my time…"

"If that's what you want then let's go!" Red cheered. When he saw Blue's face, the black-haired boy just shrugged, "What? It's almost time anyway."

"Oh right! What do you know? It really is almost time!" Blue exclaimed in shock as she looked at the clock on her phone, "Alright! Let's hurry or we'll be late!"

"Late for what?" Green asked, wondering and not understanding what his friends were talking about. The fact that his friends were grinning in response only ended up fueling the brunet's curiosity, "What's going on?"

"Oh, there is a show that we really want to see, and it is starting in ten minutes so we got to hurry!" Red said excitedly, trying to drag his friends by their wrists, "What are we waiting for? Let's go!"

"I have known you long enough to know you're a terrible liar…" Green deadpanned, causing Red to chuckle sheepishly and Blue sigh behind Green's back, "You seriously expect me to believe that after what happened to the last play we went to as a group? If I recall correctly, you and Gold fell asleep only ten minutes in, and none of us could wake up either of you no matter how hard we tried. Yellow ended up having to —"

"Alright alright, I get it!" Red shouted, trying to shut his friend up before he went too far, "Why is it so hard to just get you to hang out with us?"

"Tell me what's really going on" Green replied in a calm voice.

"We're going to Yellow's place!" Blue announced cheerfully, catching both of the boys off guard. Seeing the expression on both of their faces, the brunette was struggling not to facepalm, "What? She wanted to come along too but said that she had to do some other things first. She should be done by now, so we're heading there this very instant!"

"Alright fine, let's go…" Green muttered, having already started walking in the direction of the exit. When he noticed that his friends were not by his side, he turned to look at them from over his shoulder, "What are you two waiting for? Didn't you say you wanted to go to Yellow's?"

"R-Right…" Red muttered as he quickened his pace to catch up with his spiky haired friend, Blue having a head start on him and hence had already caught up with Green by the time Red quickened his pace. The three friends continued to walk in silence until, about three blocks from Yellow's house, Red decided to break it, "So Green… I heard about your sister! That's great news!"

"What news?" Blue suddenly jumped in, feigning shock and curiosity. Green muttered something under his breath as Red was left dumbstruck and speechless, "How come neither of you told me anything?"

"You didn't tell her?" Green asked in disbelief, turning his attention to the poor black haired boy.

"I thought I did," Red shrugged nonchalantly, making Green facepalm. In the short moment that Green had his eyes closed, Blue and Red nodded at each other knowingly. Turning to the brunette, Red continued, "Did I?"

"I honestly can't remember…" Blue said slowly, before turning cheerful again, "So why don't you tell me again?"

"You know that Green's sister has been in a coma for about a year right?" Red asked, Blue nodding in response, "Green heard that she had woken up from her coma only a few days ago!"

"That's amazing!" Blue exclaimed cheerfully before something else grabbed her attention. None of the three teenagers had realized that they had already reached their destination. Blue, being the first to return back to reality, was the one who stepped up on rang the doorbell, "Yellow? You there? It's me, Blue!"

"Just a minute!" a muffled response came from inside, as the three teens could hear scurried footsteps and hushed voices. True to her words, a blonde haired girl holding a yellow sleeveless jacket in her arms and wearing a white long-sleeved shirt and brown pants opened the door exactly sixty seconds later. Smiling brightly, Yellow stepped aside to let her friends in, "I still need a little bit more time, but please come in! Make yourself at home!"

"But you said you'd be done in forty minutes and it has been…" Blue trailed off, taking a look at her watch to check the time, "Forty-one minutes!"

"I'm sorry Blue!" Yellow replied quickly, sounding startled by Blue's tone, "It all took a bit longer than I thought it would!"

"But you said you'd be ready in forty minutes!" Blue exclaimed, not worried about the increase of volume of her voice at all.

"Come on Blue, give her a break," Red said, trying to calm the brunette down, not doing a very good job at it, "It's not like we're in a hurry or anything."

"But —" Blue began but was interrupted before she had the chance to formulate a full sentence.

"While the three of you are arguing, I'm going to wait on the couch," Green said in a monotone, grabbing the attention of the other three teens. Turning to the blonde girl, he added, "That's alright with you right?"

"Oh yeah, sure!" Yellow was caught off guard for a minute but opened the door to the living room for her friend nonetheless. Green took off his shoes and made his way in, which was when Yellow turned to her two friends and mouthed the words, "Let's do this!"

Red and Blue nodded silently in response, big grins on their faces, telling Yellow that they both understood what they needed to do. Before Green realized what was going on, Red had already tackled him from the back, covering his eyes and forcefully dragging him into the living room. At the exact moment when Red was taking care of Green, Yellow slipped into the living room herself and Blue stayed back, choosing to stand in the door opening instead. Struggling mightily, Green finally managed to escape Red's hold after an intense struggle. Turning to him, he shouted angrily, "What do you think you're doi —?"

Green was interrupted and stopped from finishing his sentence by Blue turning on the light switch. The exact moment the living room was bathed in a bright orange light, the poor brunet was suddenly bombarded with the sound of multiple confetti cannons being fired, completely covering him in the colorful streams of paper. What caught Green's eyes the most, however, were Yellow and Black, who were standing near the dining table holding a banner that read "Congratulations Nanami!"

"In case you were wondering what's going on… we knew…" Red said, placing a hand on Green's shoulder. The brunet remained motionless, however, so the black haired boy took that as a sign to continue, "We all knew… which is why we decided to surprise you with this!"

"Hmph… you never change do you Red?" Green asked his friend, who just grinned in response. Cracking a smile of his own, the brunet turned to everybody in the room, "Thank you."

"Alright!" Gold exclaimed loudly, being the first to speak and hence grabbing everybody's attention as a result, "Now that that is out of the way, it's time to eat!"

Again, the amber-eyed boy was the first to move, making a wild dash for the dining table, followed closely by both Diamond and Sapphire. Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum had done a great job of preparing numerous dishes, with Yellow and Black doing an excellent job with the decorations, making the room that much more lively and colorful. As the blonde girl was watching the three scarf down one plate of food after another, Red made his way to her, eyeing the amber eyed boy curiously, "Hey Yellow, I'm curious… how did you control and restrain Gold from running rampage for so long?"

"I didn't do anything, Silver took care of him," Yellow replied, slightly uneasy. Upon hearing his name, Silver looked at the duo, nodding silently, before starting a conversation with Black. Yellow was about to say something else, but saw Blue looking at her friends with a worried look on her face, "Blue? What's wrong?"

"Sorry, what?" was Blue's startled response. Yellow gave her a moment before repeating her question, "I honestly don't know… something has been nagging me for a while now… it's almost like… I feel something bad is about to happen…"

"Blue-senpai, with all due respect, I think you are a bit too paranoid today," Platinum said, suddenly appearing in front of the brunette carrying a plate with some food. Giving the plate to her senior, the younger, natural bluenette gently guided her senior to the couch, "Just relax a bit, have some food and perhaps watch a bit of television. That is okay with you, right Yellow-senpai?"

"Yes, of course!" Yellow responded quickly, grabbing the remote and turning on the television, "Let's see here…"

"We interrupt this program to bring you the latest news on the recent destruction of Junior and Senior High Schools across the country," the TV reporter announced in a serious tone. Yellow dropped the remote in shock and Red moved swiftly to catch the plate Blue had dropped before it fell on the ground. Everybody in the room noticed the urgency in the TV reporter's voice and instantly stopped what they were doing, rushing over to the couch to watch the news report as well. As the TV showed footage of numerous ruins that used to be schools, the TV reporter continued, "Efforts to find those responsible for these calamities have been proven fruitless. However, based on the pattern of destroyed schools, the next possible targets are likely those in or near Pallet Town!"

"But that's here!" Pearl exclaimed, horrified. Worried whispering could be heard among the teenagers until one person stood up.

"It should be obvious what we have to do!" Red announced as everybody turned to him. Slowly but surely, everybody understood what the crimson eyed boy meant. Turning to the brunet who was sitting beside him, Red added, "Is that okay with you?"

"It's fine with me…" Green sighed before standing up. Looking more determined than anybody has ever seen him, he continued, "They're threatening to destroy something precious to me! No way will I let them do this without a fight!"

"That's the spirit!" Red grinned, before turning to the others, "That's right! They have to get through us before they can get to our school!"

"Of course Red-senpai!" Sapphire shouted enthusiastically, "We'll make them sorry for ever threatening our school!"

"Then let's go!" Red fist pumped the air, soon followed by everybody else. As one, with Red at the front, the eleven teenagers marched to their school, determined to protect it no matter what.

Unbeknownst to any of the eleven teenagers, three figures were watching them from the safety provided to them by the dark shadows.

"So what do you two think?" one of the figures asked while eyeing the teenagers in the distance curiously.

"Seems like they think that they stand a chance…" the second of the three muttered in a bored tone, "Those poor poor souls will never know what's coming…"

"Though this would definitely make things more interesting!" the third said cheerfully, with the two other figures nodding in response.

Me: And that's it for the prolog! Hope you enjoyed it! Yeah… this chapter ended up being much longer than I thought it would be…

Shourin: Are there any more things worth saying?

Me: Yes! Before going on to say that somebody is OOC, please keep in mind that the characters in this story portray two different characters, one from Pokémon Special and one from Inazuma Eleven, thus they will have personalities from both characters… also, no matter how… strange… a choice of representation of the characters are, they all have good reasons for representing the characters that they do! I'm saying this because I already know at least one person whom will be the center of attention once that character's role is made clearer…

Shishido: But with all due respect, except the ending, there aren't many scenes from us in here

Me: There are actually more than enough similarities if you look hard enough

Shishido: Oh… sorry

Someoka: Other than that, we got another problem! Seeing the length of the start note, we can't keep everybody hanging for long now, can we?

Me: We most certainly cannot… let's see… Kazemaru! You're up!

Kazemaru: Alright! If you liked the opening, please follow and favorite this story!

Kakuma: And review for boosting the mood and motivation of Falneou17 to get the next chapter out quickly!

Me: We need to give them a good reason to leave a review, though… let's see here… I know! Review or I will make you eat Natsumi's cooking for the rest of your life!

Everyone: *gasp* You can't be serious!

Natsumi: Hey! My cooking isn't that bad… right?

Me: *maniacal laughter* Having said that, it might be a while until the next chapter comes out, though…
