"Okay, here goes nothing."

Saying that, a 25-year old Swampert pulls a lever that opens up a dimensional portal that absorbs life in it.

"Come on Droplet, world traveling isn't dangerous unless you're not an Elemental nor possessing one of the major Elements."

Taking a deep breath, Droplet stares at the Power Band as he fixes his Sky Blue Bow with a Swampertite on it.

"This is for my team."

Droplet then jumps inside the portal as the portal disappears. The monitor says clear as the lever that opens the portal went up and looked like it was never used. Outside the room, the bulb above the steel enhanced door turned from red to green, meaning it is safe to go inside.

"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!"

Sharpedo's Bluff

December 23, 20XX

A digital alarm clock has a label of 5:29 ticking as it changes to 5:30 that sets off an alarm. A clawed hand hits the top part to set off the alarm. That hand belongs to Flaire Homura of Team Elemental and she just woke up from her sleep as she made a stretch to soothe her relaxed muscles.

Hopping off her bed, Flaire went out of her room to knock on the other doors to wake up her team mates. First knocking on Alastor's room.

"Alastor, its morning!"

The door opens, revealing Alastor Chromium the Armaldo smiling at his team mate. His room looks organized for an Armaldo.

"Good morning Flaire." Alastor said.

"Good morning to you too Al." Flaire said as she looks at Phil's door. "Is he still listening to Team White-Silver's music for the whole night again?"

"Maybe?"

Inside a messy and dearranged room, Phil Crystal the Salamence is curled into a ball wearing a pair of red and black headphones on his head, listening to the song of Team White-Silver's latest album. While sleeping, a sound of footsteps can be heard as two pails of water are brought up. Without warning, three Pokemon drench Phil with cold water, making him wake up with shock.

Those three were Flaire, Alastor and Manaphy(Who woke up a few moments ago) and they were laughing as the Salamence heaved for breath.

"Why you, you guys nearly gave me a heart attack!" Phil said.

"Mom told me going to bed with headphones isn't good for your health." Manaphy said. "Call this, a good punishment."

"What did you teach him Flaire?" Phil said.

"How to be a good boy." Flaire said.

"Hey, speaking of which, where's dad?" Manaphy asked.

With that, the trio looked among themselves. They forgot about their team leader. Going to his room, the team knock on the door.

"Droplet?"

No answer.

Calling him again, there was no answer. They tried it again for a few times but there was none.

"I guess he isn't home." Alastor said.

"Man, how can our leader be like this?" Phil said sadly. "Even in time before Christmas."

"Hey, Phil, Droplet isn't like that." Flaire said. "Droplet will be here in time for Christmas so don't get your hopes up."

The team then went to the living room of Sharpedo's Bluff. The bluff's interior is no longer open and looking old as it looks like in modern time. The interior has three sections a living room, the kitchen and the dining table. At the living, there is a large cork board, a flat screen TV with a game console underneath and a calendar of events. The room is decorated for Christmas. Today, they're free to buy some gifts, visit some friends, do missions or nothing at all.

The cork board no longer have any missions for Team Elemental to do since it is Christmas and no outlaw activities are occurring for this year so doing missions is out. There is a new piece of paper attached to it. It is written in Droplet's handwriting.

Dear Team Elemental,

I'll not be in my room for today as I have matters to attend to from another parallel universe. I'm sorry that I'll be but I promise that I'll be back tonight.

Love Droplet Mito.

"Well, look at that." Phil said, using his tail to adjust his Detect Specs. "Mr. Mito is doing a mission without our consent. I hope he doesn't get his butt kick."

"Well look who's talking." Flaire said. "I'm just glad Droplet isn't a Salamence that had his butt kicked by a small mushroom."

"Excactly-hey are you referring to me?"

"Seriously, we're the only Pokemon who can do universal traveling yet you Phil got your butt kick by a mushroom."

"That guy was powerful!"

To emphasize what Flaire said, universal traveling is the most lethal adventure in history. The requirements to do it is that a person must have at least one Element. The Elements are Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Ice, Lightning, Holy, Dark and Cosmic. The research said that the Elements are not the same as the types they attributed but qualities that must've been a part of them. The main members of Team Elemental possess four of the nine Elements.

Droplet has a pure and calm heart that represents Water, Flaire has a strong determination that represents Fire, Alastor has a protective and strong nature that represents Earth, and Phil has a gentle and caring heart hidden in his tough guy exterior that represents Wind.

The meaning of their team's name matches it.

"So, what's the plan?" Flaire asked.

"I guess, I'll be visiting Azelf." Phil said. "It's been two years since I've seen the old-timer."

"I'll be going to Jewel City to buy some gifts for our friends." Alastor said. "I haven't prepared yet like you guys did some days ago since I was busy studying the recent space distortions. Do you want to come along Manaphy?"

"Sure, Uncle Al." Manaphy said happily before adding, "How about you mom?"

"Me, I don't know." Flaire said. "Sunflora and Chimeco are not here and I guess Team Charm might be coming, I don't like girls stuff that much but their my friends." Phil let out a snicker. "What?"

"Really, I thought you were a tomboy. Yet, you want to-"

Phil was cut off by a punch at the face. Worst thing to do is make Flaire mad as her punches are as strong as a Mega Blaziken's punch, which hurts tenfold. The good thing is that Phil's Detect Specs aren't fragile, preventing it from being destroyed.

"That doesn't mean I can't hang out with some old friends!" Flaire said angrily.

Sharpedo's Bluff

Team Elemental went to a flight of stairs and outside their house. Flaire takes out the house key and locks the door. It is snowing outside, Flaire's Fire Cape materializes in front of her as she wraps it around her neck like a scarf, Flaire materializes Manaphy's Tidal Cape gave it to him, Alastor thightens his Defense Scarf and Phil's Sala-cape materializes for him to cover himself.

"Alright gang, be sure to come home before night fall." Flaire said.

"Right!"

"Oh, and Alastor." Flaire said menacingly. "Be sure to take care of Manaphy, keep him away from bad influences or things not appropriate for an 8-year old or else I'll be digging your grave where you should be before Christmas arrives."

"Of course, ma'am." Alastor replied, unfazed.

Among all people, Alastor is the only person alive who isn't afraid of Flaire's anger.

With that said, the team head their separate ways.

I don't write stories about Pokemon Mystery Dungeon but I'll be writing one for Christmas since this story got stuck in my head. I cannot write a Christmas story for Pokemon Megahearts since it has a dark plot unlike this PMD story. There will be references of my main series in this story but they'll be spoiler free.

I'll be publishing separate chapters for each of the team members, tell me who do you want to see first: Droplet Mito, Flaire Homura, Alastor Chromium or Phil Crystal

The year specifies that during this time, it is in the modern era in the Pokemon World but it is not clear when it is. I'm terrible in making short stories since I like making stories in great detail.
