author's note: hey WOW it's been a gazillion years since i've been on this account! holy heck! anyway. here's a freaking sun/moon warrior cats crossover fic.

on the sun/moon side of things, it's placed after the main plot. so there will DEFINITELY be spoilers for the entirety of pokemon moon. on the warriors side of things it's set during forest of secrets in the first series, shortly before the gathering. there'll be spoilers there, too, but the plot will end up taking a far different course than it does in canon.

by the way, only a couple ocs are planned to appear, they're just the pokemon i had in my team in pokemon moon. this may change when i'm later in the story, but i at least don't plan to write in any more ocs.

Wind whipped around the two children's ankles, a slight chill from the mountaintop air brushing against them. Perhaps t-shirts and shorts were a tad light for wearing atop the Altar of the Moone, but there could be worse. It was better than Mount Lanakila, after all.

A wide grin full of childish excitement stretched across the young champion's face. "I still can't believe you agreed to do this."

"How come? This sounds great!" the grandson of Melemele's kahuna laughed. "I can't be left out of all the fun adventures!"

The champion, Moon, guessed that he was referring to the Ultra Space incident - she'd hardly call it a fun adventure, but she still understood why he would've felt left out considering he had just been off doing island trials while she and Lillie had visited a whole other dimension.

"Alrighty, let's rundown the plan one more time: we have Nebby make an Ultra Wormhole to a surprise dimension - emphasis on surprise, I really don't know what else's out there we can visit other than Ultra Space - explore a bit and have a good time, and then have Nebby take us right back here." She paused a bit before adding, "Or if something goes wrong, Nebby takes us home early. You sure you're up for this, Hau?"

He seemed to contemplate it a little longer than his unhesitant response before, but he kept his enthusiasm. "Yeah, of course!"

In reply, Moon tossed a Luxury Ball into the air, it opening to release a shimmering beast much like a bat - the legendary Lunala, embodiment of the night... or as Moon and Hau knew them, Nebby.

Nebby let out a powerful and triumphant-sounding cry which nearly shook the altar, the air crackling with powerful energy. Both they and Moon had been wanting to do this for a while. Though despite the commanding presence that a being of their caliber should posess, they lowered their head so Moon could pet it, looking joyful. Truthfully, having still been a Cosmog such a short time ago, Nebby was as much of a child as the two standing before them were.

"C'mon Hau, what are you waiting for?" Moon's eyes shimmered with excitement which neither Hau nor Nebby had seen since she became the champion. "Let's go explore someplace nobody has ever seen or maybe even heard of!"

He nodded quickly with a big smile, grabbing her hand as Nebby swooped down and picked the two up in great, star-flecked wings. The Lunala shot a beam into the air which pierced the void between dimensions, and swiftly rushed through it.

Despite shielding his face from the wind, Hau still managed to catch a glimpse of Ultra Space in between their dimension and the next. It was bizarre yet pretty in an odd way, and only left him more curious what the place they were going would be like.

...Truthfully, neither Moon nor Nebby had any idea. Nebby found their feeling of control over their power exhilarating, and almost had to stop themself from showing off and twirling about through several different realities. While Moon had been in this idea for the adventure, Nebby had really just wanted a chance to stretch their wings.

Unfortunately, irresponsible children with no plan were bound to get themselves in trouble. Nebby had no practice with this sort of thing - when would they have had the chance? - and as they flew through the wormhole, things went out of control. They had really hoped they had a bit more stamina, and perhaps been better at handling crash-landings, but... The last thing they thought as they lost consciousness in some sort of oak forest was that they desperately hoped Moon and Hau were unharmed.

When Nebby came to, they realized in horror there was no sign of either anywhere. Taking in their surroundings, they spotted the bags of the two on the ground, and among the smashed trees left by the crash there lay at least one feline Pokemon of a kind which Nebby had never seen before. They called desperately to the sky, the lingering scent of the Ultra Wormhole permeating the air and making it impossible to find them by wormhole energy alone. When no reply came back to them, Nebby carefully picked up the backpack and bag of the two children, and took off into the night sky in search of them.

Where the Ultra Wormhole had formed and closed, invisible cracks split the veil between worlds.
