4/6/15: Hello! Just wanted to say, at the beginning of this story, that it is inspired by the story "Galactic Dirt" by spkdog. It's really good, by the way, their story!

Prologue

My name is Neptune. One of the Heads of Team Galactic. I work alongside Mars. I had a tight silver dress with a slight hoop at the bottom. It had shiny black sleeves and white fingerless gloves. My necklace had my one Pokémon that I adored and I had on white boots. I had black leggings, and my green died hair was up in a half pony-tail. I had blue eyes, and was right now… Running for my life...

Why did this happen to me? That's my question. Most of Team Galactic is gone! Arrested! Missing! I don't know where Mars is! Jupiter! Saturn!

I ran through the big building. It was beginning to crumble as I ran. I ducked around some other Galactic's and ran down the stairs. The fleeing people were running around and trying to get away. My friend, Mars, is gone! It's chaos. Flashing lights and me stumbling on the falling ruble. I saw light and was about to reach it, when suddenly I heard a crumbling sound. The floor above me was about to crumble! I ran quicker to get out. Almost tripping as I raced to get out. Suddenly a horrible cracking sound emitted and the floor above me falls. I'm 2 feet from the door!

I scream as the floor comes down onto me and I'm hit with a large piece of something. It begins to be fuzzy as I sprawl out on the ground. Soon it all goes black… But, the last thing I remember seeing is someone's feet running out the door before the floor collapsed and rubble covered me.

Chapter 1

I ran out the door and suddenly look back. "No!" I cried out. I ran into the building. Suddenly I began violently coughing. "Neptune?" I wheezed. No answer. "Neptune?" I yelled loudly. Now I couldn't see through the smoke plumes inside. No answer. "NEPTUNE?" I screamed. Still no answer. Broken lights flickered. I looked up. About 2 floors had collapsed and the 3rd looked shaky. "Neptune?"

"Who are you?" Said a strong voice of a man from outside.

"Hello? Are you alright?" Said a girl's voice.

"Shh. Kid, leave this to us, please get out! This building is unstable!" Said the man's voice again.

"No!" I yelled. "Neptune is still there! It fell on her!"

"Get out of there! It's not safe!" The man's voice said.

"No! Leave me alone! Go away!" I screamed. I heard footsteps. Suddenly two dark figures hurried through the door. I tried to run-away, but one grabbed me while the other one analyzed the other.

"Pelipper, use Defog!" I heard the one analyzing the room say.

"Pelipp!" Said a Pokémon's voice. A large gust of wind filled the room and I blinked. A man in an officer uniform was pulling me back. I struggled from his grip as he pulled me out the door and back out into the bright sunlight.

"Let me go!" I yelled. I ran back to the door. I saw rubble lying around everywhere. Then… I gasped as I looked down and saw a hand. It was Neptune's hand. I noticed from the bracelet I had given her with the planet Neptune on it last year for her birthday. The officer pushed me back out as I yelled.

"That's Neptune! Get her out! She may be hurt!" I screeched.

"Neptune? You mean like on of those funny general people named after planets? Is she in there? Is everyone out?" The officer asked

"No! Neptune is still in there! About 12 people are still in there! Get them out!" I screamed.

"Go! Get the people out! Be careful. That building could fall at any time." The officer said to about 20 officers behind him. They nodded and ran to the building.

"Please, help her! She's upset! It's making my Togetic and Happiny sad!" Said a tiny voice. I looked down and saw a little blonde haired, hazel eyed, little girl. She was holding a sick looking Togetic and an upset looking Happiny. She was right. They did look sad.

"Kid, stop worrying. Were going to get her friends out." The officer said. "Ah! See!" He said, pointing to the building door. 3 officers came out carrying 2 people each. They were all men.

"These guys were on top of the pile. It looks like they fell from an above floor." The officers exiting said.

A lady suddenly ran up. She had her shawl over her head. "Cynthia! Don't run off again! Especially near this building! It's falling to the ground!" The woman said.

"But mama! There are people inside there! Happiny ran to here, so I followed. I didn't want to leave Togetic behind!" The little girl complained.

"Well, the officers will get them out. Plus, it's a Galactic building. Come along." The woman said. She grabbed her daughter's wrist and pulled away from the building and onto the road back to Veilstone City. The little girl was still complaining and pointing back.

More people came out but they had 3 girls.

"That's only 9 people! Neptune is still in there! 2 people are still in there!" I yelled at the officer.

"Please, leave this to us! We're going to get you're friend out." The officer said, sounding a bit annoyed.

A man emerged from the building. "Hey, there's like, more people above us. They can't get down because there's no stairs. What do we do?" He asked

"Umm… Have you're Empoleon make a water beam up to a floor at an angle. Then, have Officer Henry's Medicham use Ice Beam on it to make an ice slide for them. Hurrey!" The officer said.

"Thank-you, Sir!" The officer said ducking back in. A sound emitted from the top floor. Suddenly they windows blasted out. Fire followed. The officer jumped forward as the glass from the windows began falling towards them.

"Tyranitar, Protect!" He yelled. Suddenly a giant Tyranitar stepped out and used Protect. A giant green bubble formed over the Galactic's on the ground, the officer, and me. I gasped as the glass shards bounced off the bubble. About 16 officers ran out. They had 2 Galactic's running behind them. The green bubble disappeared once all glass was gone. I gulped and watched.

"Officer Henry is in there picking up some guy that was knocked out in the explosion. Another floor fell. We gotta hurry." An officer said, panting. 4 officers have emerged carrying a groaning Galactic man. He had some minor burns. I looked up and noticed that the 2 highest floors were burning. Only 2 floors were left out of the 6 floor building. I was glad that all the Pokémon were out.

"Alright men, let's go. Mission accomplished." The officer said. The men nodded and began loading the hurt Galactic's up into trucks with small cots.

"Wait!" I screeched. "Neptune's not out! Get her out! She's under 3 floors! She could be really hurt!"

The officer looked startled. "What? Henry, Charles, go in there and get that girl out!" The officer said. Two men nodded.

"They'll need me! I'm the only one who knows where she is!" I yelled. Before the officer had time to answer, I ran into the building. The two officers's were looking around and sifting the rubble. I shook my head.

"She's here!" I said. I pointed to the floor. I picked up a few boulders and chunks of floor and ceiling as the men watched me. I finally found her hand. It looked hurt and sore.

"Quick, Medicham! Use Psychic!" One officer said.

"Medi-CHAM!" Medicham said. His eyes glowed blue and the rocks near the hand lifted up. I saw Neptune. The other officer pulled her out and Medicham released the Move.

They carried Neptune out and placed her on the grass. She had bruises and scraped and was perfectly still. Her hair was a little ragged and her dress was ripped, shoes scuffed, and gloves black. The picked her up carefully and placed her into the truck.

"Where are you taking her?" I asked.

"To the hospital. Then prison. Wait… Why were you in there? Do you have any past with Team Galactic?" The officer asked.

I shook my head. "No. Neptune and I were best friends before she joined Team Galactic. I went in there because I knew that their Mt. Coronet Plans went wrong and I wanted to warn her to get away. Because most likely their building was going to fall…" I said truthfully. I looked Neptune. I knew I had to keep her out of jail. I had to lie. I swallowed and looked him in the face. "You can't take Neptune to prison." I said strongly.

"Really? And why is that?" He asked sarcastically.

"Because. She was forced into it by… Saturn. Saturn said he would take away her Pokémon if she didn't help with their cause. She met him near lake Valor. She has a Pokémon she was training there… Saturn saw how strong she was and confronted her. She had nothing to do with Palkia and Dialga, though. That wasn't her helping them with Mt. Coronet." I said. Half of it was true. She didn't really want another alternate universe. "Cyrus left… and Saturn blamed it on her. She became a general by Mars, but, didn't want to…" I said. He looked undecided.

"Well… We'll contact you when it's time for her to go to Prison. She'll be in Pastoria Hospital. I would stay in Solaceon or Hearthome if I were you. Do you want a ride?" The officer said. I shook my head.

"No. I'll walk." I said solemnly. The officer nodded.

"Will you be in Hearthome?" He asked.

I nodded. "Yeah. I have some family that lives there. Just go to 14426 in Hearthome and ask for me." I said.

"Wait, what's you're name?" The officer asked holding up his hand.

"My name is Julia. I go by Jewels at home though. Bye." I said sadly.

"Bye." He said. He hopped up into the truck and closed the door. The siren on it whirred and the truck tugged off.

I sighed and began walking off slowly onto the beginning of my first journey.
