Hey there guys! I recently started to watch Fairy Tail by a friend's request and, true story, I thought at first that it was a Pokémon Mystery Dungeon spin-off. Since Explorers of Sky is my favorite game, why not make a crossover of two awesome series? It's my first fanfiction, so reviews are apreciated, I will continue the crossover as I keep watching.
Disclaimer: Fairy Tail belongs to Hiro Mashima, otherwise Lucy would be awesome.
PMD Explorers of Sky belongs to Chunsoft, otherwise Chatot wouldn't be a massive douche.
Far away from the world we know, beyond the endless sky, the threatening darkness and the unforgiving time, there is a land filled with adventures: from ancient caves to deep luring forests. In this world, we also encounter creatures with immense power and wisdom, living together in harmony: the Pokémon.
We focus our story in a fraction of this mythical land, a place called Treasure Town, one of the safest and most peaceful places to live, and at its side, the most renowned exploration guild: Wigglituff's Guild, or the "Time Gear
Guild", the nickname given by the townspeople.
A girl with long blonde hair tied in a ponytail with a pink ribbon and yellow long ears with black tips and red marks around her cheeks and peculiar golden eyes, yellow tank top with two brown stripes on her back, baggy yellow jeans witch had an hole for her lightning-shaped tail, yellow combat boots, a fuchsia band tied around her neck and a big brown bag strapped to her shoulder, as well as a small badge attached to her yellow belt, woke up at her resting place: a hidden place under Sharpedo Bluff, the cliff next to Treasure Town.
Thunder, a Pikachu, one of Wigglituff Guild's pride and joy. Leader of the explorer team Team Storm, she is very upbeat and a good leader, as well as powerful and great strategist. Her past is a mystery to everyone.
-Another day, another adventure! Come on, Lightning, quit being a Slowpoke and wake up! - she said while shaking a blunette with canine ears and fangs and coral red eyes wearing a black mask around his face, he was wearing a black torn tank top, a brown bandana, black gloves, baggy blue shorts with a hole for a flat tail and black boots, and was definitely taller than his companion.
Lightning, a Riolu, second in command of Team Storm. His cowardly attitude did not overshadow his willpower, kindness, and strength. As his name says, he is surprisingly fast and quick reactor to his surroundings no matter the situation.
-Lightning is not here, come later… -Lightning mumbled lazily, making Thunder puff her cheeks.
-I'm being serious, I'm gonna zap you.
But the act was not needed because they heard a booming voice coming from above their home, making them dizzy:
-OI, YOU PUNKS! If you don't get up RIGHT now, I'll DRAG you ALL the way to the guild!
-My poor ears… - the pair muttered painfully, until they finally got up and outside their lair, they became face-to-face with the owner of the voice: a tall man with purple hair and violet eyes wearing a pair of purple headphones, a purple shirt with a wide open mouth drawn on it, dark purple pants and purple shoes.
Loudred, one of the guild's sentries. He is famous for his powerful voice and having a strong personality, strangely touchy when it comes to talk with Sunflora.
-Why in the seven World Abysses did you come here loudmouth? – Thunder said, being anything but happy.
-OI! It was the guildmaster's own ORDERS; he wanted everyone to be at THE guild as soon as possible.
-Fine! We'll be there, come on Slowpoke, let's go.
The duo followed Loudred through the town and to the guild: at first sight, it looked like a massive tent with a Wigglituff head, but inside it was a two-story base big enough to take the whole town in it.
They soon came to the meeting place where all the officials of the guild gathered:
-Finally! Took you long enough!
The voice came from a tall man with light grey eyes in a light blue business suit, black hair and a feathered cape attached to his shoulders in the same way as wings.
Chatot, the guildmaster's right hand man. Revered as a "walking encyclopedia", very prideful.
-Sorry Chatot, someone didn't want to wake up. – Thunder said, nudging Lightning slightly, yielding an annoyed groan from the Riolu.
-Hey, hey! It must have been a very difficult expedition yesterday for him to be like this!- A redhead with spiked hair and ocean blue eyes wearing a red and cream swimsuit, as well as sleeves making him look like he had crab pincers, spoke with a wide carefree smile.
Corphish, the guild's water dungeons specialist. Very carefree and outgoing, but doesn't forget wrongdoings easily.
-Either that, or they chose to spend all day doing charities like they do every weekend. – An Asian woman with light blue hair tied in a hair bun with a golden pin, yellow eyes, light blue and red kimono and red makeup around her cheeks smiled gracefully at the duo.
Chimecho, the guild's resident medic and cooker. She serves as an image as an older overprotective sister to most people who know her.
The duo just nodded it off and continued to chat with the fellow guild members, all waited patiently for the guildmaster to come give his announcement. Eventually, more guild members came: first was Bidoof, the rookie with brown curly hair and brown eyes, brown and beige hunter clothes and buckteeth; Then Sunflora, her light yellow hair held back making them look like petals, her black lines crossing perfectly both her squinted eyes, like they are dividing her face in three parts, and her usual green gardening clothes, never missing her radiant smile; Then the creepy Croagunk, with his blue and orange robes, his white straps around his waist and his unsettling orange eyes and creepy smile; Finally the father-son duo Diglett and Dugtrio came, with their usual brown messy hair, usual earthy brown eyes, usual brown miner clothes and usual smiles at their faces.
-So, is everyone here? - Chatot finally asked, earning affirmative nods from the guild members –The guildmaster should be here any instant.
As if on cue, the wooden doors of the guildmaster chamber opened to reveal Guildmaster Wigglituff: he was definitely taller than any of the members of the guild; he had curly pink hair with pink and white bunny ears and blue eyes, he wore a large pink coat under his white and pink garments.
-Welcome, my friendly friends! Now, you may be asking why all of you were called here. – The guild members did nothing but listen silently- Well, I have been thinking lately: our guild had so many awesome accomplishments already, why not expand our horizons a little?
At that point, the members didn't know if they had to take the fact that the guildmaster actually thought before making that decision seriously, but no one dared to say a word.
-After taking that fact very carefully, I decided a perfect place! It's a far away land called Fiore, and it's not a place with Pokémon, no sir! It's a place of mages, humans with abilities just like us! And for the part of blending in this unique atmosphere, Chatot, would you be so kind.
Not wasting a split second, the guildmasters right hand man pulled a piece of paper out of his pocket and started reading:
-While we are in Fiore, our guild will be identified as "Time Gear", since Pokémon don't exist in Fiore, our natural characteristics as a specie will disappear, and the "four moves" rule will be eliminated. The building was already settled in the town of Magnolia, if anyone gets lost during the settlement, a guild in the same town called "Fairy Tail" has offered to help the guild members. We will depart tomorrow, any questions?...Yes Croagunk, there is a swap cauldron in there.
While questions and answers were said, Thunder was still thinking about this whole idea.
We are going to a place with humans? But I thought that I was the last one, or do we know less than we think? I have to ask Aquarius.
-Time skip-
Thunder and Lightning sat at the edge of Sharpedo Bluff, Thunder lost in thoughts and Lightning babbling nonstop:
-…To think that there are humans out there! Maybe we can learn more about your origins Thunder, think about it! And according to Wigglituff, they use magic, something similar to what we use, isn't this amazing… Are you listening, hello?
The once human snapped out of her thoughts and smiled:
-Yes, I heard you, it's just difficult to accept. I mean, I grew my life here thinking I was the only human and then boom! Suddenly there is a land full of them. And about the magic thingy, what if we are weak to it? What if they know some kind of ancient spell that can erase your memories? What if we find some kind of freakish demon that could kill us all? What if…hmpf!?
She was quickly silenced by a hand over her mouth and the laugh of her companion:
-You worry too much. I am as nervous as you, but the difference is that I am at least trying to see the good side of all of this. Trust me, everything will be fine.
This seemed to calm the once human, as she laid her head on her companion's shoulder and continued to look at the sea glimmering in the light of the full moon:
-Maybe you're right… we just have to wait then.
-Meanwhile-
In a land far, far away lies the kingdom of Fiore, a small peaceful land of seven million, and a place filled with magic. Found in every home, body, soul and every market place, for many magic is a simple tool, a mundane part of the everyday life. For some, however, magic is an art, and they devoted their lives to its practice, these are the wizards. Banded into magical guilds, they plan their skills in search of fame and fortune. Many of these guilds dot the landscape of Fiore, but there is a certain guild from a certain town that soars high above the rest: one on which countless legends were born. A guild that with no doubt will continue to create legends well into the future. Its name is Fairy Tail.
We encounter ourselves in the main hall of said guild, which was filled with mages talking, laughing, and beating each other(Ok, there was a woman drinking a barrel of booze and another woman cleaning the dishes at the bar counter, but that's beside the point). Everything seemed out of the ordinary, until a dwarf-sized old man entered the guild hall, letting the late night wind enter as well. Everything seemed to stop while the old man walked through the hallway and jumped onto the bar counter, now being able to be seen more clearly: he was wearing an orange coat with orange pants and a white shirt with the Fairy Tail mark in the center, as well as a striped orange and light blue hat which had two had two bent horn-like prostitutions pointing downwards. He cleared his throat to catch everyone's attention and spoke up:
-Listen up brats, 'because I'm going to say it just one time.
He then pulled a scroll from his pocket and began to read:
-"After our evaluation of the project, the magic council allows Makarov Dreyar to expand his guild by allying to the new registered guild 'Time Gear'." Long story short, the guys from Time Gear are officially a branch of Fairy Tail and their main members are coming tomorrow to settle in that newly built building next to us. They never had connections with the mages, so you brats better not make a bad first impression. Good night to all.
As the members disbanded, a boy with pink hair, black eyes wearing a sleeveless black coat with golden trimmings, baggy white pants and wooden sandals looked excited to meet those "new members":
-Can't wait to meet them. The first thing I'll do tomorrow is challenge their strongest member to a fight, gotta know their strength after all.
Natsu Dragneel, fire dragon slayer and member of Fairy Tail. Like most of his guild, has a great brotherly instinct and searches worthy challengers. Acts without thinking most of the time.
-You didn't forget about Ignell, did you? – a blue cat with big black eyes and wings on his bag, as well as a green sack, said while eating fish at his partner's shoulder.
Happy, an exceed and Natsu's traveling partner. He pulls Natsu back to reality most of the time, but is as insane as him. He is the second biggest tease, only losing to Mirajane.
-Oh yeah! I totally forgot! The fighting needs to wait then, we need to rest. Tomorrow we go to Hargeon Town find Ignell.
-Aye sir!
With that the guild was empty, all the members going to their respective homes, wondering about those new members.
-Treasure Town, day-
Today was the day, all the main guild members were there, the sun was shining and the air was clean, nothing seemed to go wrong and no one would stop the brad new "Time Gear" guild.
Except…
-Absolutely NOT!
-But mom!
-I don't care that you're a super rare legendary that is ultra-powerful or something, I'm not, and I repeat, I am NOT going to take you to a completely unknown place.
-But I'm level seventy already!
-That doesn't change anything! Lightning, back me up here!
Thunder could be called any kind of insult, except a bad mother… and being called short or weak, but that's beside the point. She was trying her best to keep her precious (adopted) son of mythical origins home: Manaphy went shoulder length to his already small mother and had big ocean blue eyes, his already long blue hair was held in a ponytail with a pin and he wore oversized blue robes. Needless to say he was beyond angry about his mother's denial, looking directly to her strangely blood red color, the pigment her eyes changed when angry:
-You want me to be safe? Then let me show that I'm at least capable of taking care of myself!
-Actually…
Chatot intervened kneeling down and patting him on the shoulder. Even though the once human was glaring daggers at him and her companion was doing his best to keeping her in place, the right hand man whispered on the child's ear, who whispered back. After some time, Chatot got up and Manaphy eyed his mother with a serious face:
-I'll stay…
This was a surprise to the adventurer, but she wasn't going to complain:
-…But in one condition.
Of course, it was going to be too easy if it didn't:
-Go ahead, what do you want? – She was calmer now, her eyes slowly changing back to the usual golden metallic color.
Manaphy then concentrated his power in his palm and suddenly a platinum key appeared on his hand:
-If you find a girl named Lucy Heartfilia, give her this. She should be in a town named Hargeon, next to Magnolia.
-And what is this, might I add?
Manaphy smiled- It's a celestial key to access the spirit of Keldeo, the watery paladin. I found him in one exploration and I wanted to give it to her.
The once human then nodded, while turning to leave to Hargeon with Lightning, after being tackled by her son and receiving a whisper of "take care".
The travel wasn't a hazard or difficult, Hargeon town wasn't far away from Treasure Town and the duo would start looking for that Lucy person soon.
If it wasn't for another intervention in the middle of the town: a crowd of girls were concentrated on the street. Curious, they moved closer and tried to make way, of course, with a little difficulty:
-Excuse me, excuse me. Sorry!
Eventually they made their way to the center of the crowd where they found a man with short spikey purple hair wearing various ornaments and rings, as well as a well-adorned purple robe. Lightning, being a boy, lost interest immediately. He nudged Thunder slightly and both started to turn away, but an excited shout followed by male voice made them freeze in place:
-Who are you?
The owner of the voice was a young man with pink hair, black sleeveless open coat and baggy pants, who continued to humiliate the 'salamander' (that's how the girls were calling him) to the point to walk away, or at least, try to. The poor boy was thrown by the girls while the 'salamander' was making his leave, landing right onto Thunder, while a blue cat walking on two paws looking at them curiously.
Sure there was a bit of body ache, but the once human was feeling a dizzy feeling that she knew too well. 'A dimensional scream? Here? Why?' The others didn't seem to notice the petite blonde's mind absence, as another blonde girl came: her hair had shoulder length tied to a side ponytail and she was wearing a sleeveless zip up white shirt with a blue cross on it, a short blue skirt and knell high boots, and definitely taller than the blacked out girl:
-Thanks for breaking that guy's spell. That man is really disgusting.
While they were getting the boy, named Natsu, from the once human that they noticed the sudden absence of light in her metallic golden eyes. Lightning wasn't faded by this, seeing it a lot of times before, but the trio was quite worried:
-Ne, Natsu, I think you killed her- the blue cat, Happy, said with a tint of worry.
Lightning then picket the small girl up and made her stand up: she was standing just fine, but her eyes didn't change for a moment. Slightly disturbed by this, the teenage blonde invited them to eat, and while at that, they made their proper introductions:
-My name is Lucy Heartfilia, and I aspire becoming a Fairy Tail mage.
While Natsu and Happy were eating like beasts, Lightning looked at his half-conscious partner with worry, before giving Lucy a proper introduction:
-My name is Lightning, and this is my partner Thunder, we are members of the exploration guild Time Gear and elite explorers ourselves.
This made Natsu gag a little, but shrugged it off like it was nothing. Lucy, however, became interested:
-So you're one of the members of the new guild that settled next to Fairy Tail? People rumor that they are strong, but don't know a thing about the wizard world.
Lightning shrugged: -We have little information, but I think we can settle.
Lucy then became excited and started to explain about the wizard world: how both she and 'salamander' were mages, how mages would form guilds and take on jobs to take living and the different types of magic existent in the world. After she finished, Lightning spoke up catching everyone's attention:
-It's not so different from our country: we are born with natural abilities and powers, some decide to live in a guild exploring different dungeons doing jobs to take living, and some of us are more peculiar than others. For example, my partner Thunder has an ability called Dimensional Scream that allows her to see a thing of the past or the possible future of a person which she had physical contact… with…
Lightning only noticed his error when he saw the trio staring at him, and with the team leader unconscious, he had to mend that himself… that's what he thought until Natsu spoke up, seeming happy:
-Awesome! Maybe she can help me find Ignell!
-Ignell? - Lucy asked both confused by this whole ordeal and curious about this dimensional scream.
-Ignell's Natsu's father, he taught him everything he knows- Happy said, munching on a fish.
-He must be a strong mage then: I already see your aura is strong; this man's must be even more powerful. –Lightning said more to himself than anyone else, but he didn't take Natsu's accurate hearing into consideration:
-No way! Ignell is powerful alright, but that's what you are expecting from a dragon.
Lightning and Lucy became surprised for both different reasons:
-If Ignell's a dragon, what would he be doing in the middle of town?! – the spike-haired blunette said, catching Natsu and Happy off guard.
At that moment Thunder decided to wake up from her daze, stirring a little, she looked like a child who was awakened in the middle of the morning:
-Lightning, where am I?
So, there you have it. Before anyone asks, there are a few things to clarify:
1. This takes place two or three years after the Explorers story. At that time most of the guild was at their teens, around fourteen to fifteen, the only ecxeptions are Chimecho, who was at her twenty fives, Dugtrio and Chatot, that were thirty, The Guildmaster, who was at his fourties, and the main characters, who were twelve.
2. What Chatot meant by Pokémon charactheristics, he didn't mean they would turn into humans. For example: Thunder's Pikachu tail disappears and her ponytail changes shape to resemble a lightning when she enters Fiore.
3. Fiore and Treasure Land( headcanon name for the pokemon land) aren't close to each other, this is the first contact the magic council made with a pokemon. They decided the explorers would come to Fiore because they are used to long trips.
4. All legendaries from generation V and VI will be platinum celestial keys. Why? Because it would be awesome to see Lucy taking Team Natsu or the Guild to ride a big ass Legendary across Fiore. Also, Angel vs Lucy.
5. The explorers know about the fairy type. Come on, after three years exploring you are fated to encounter something different once in a while.
With all of that said, I hope you have a great week ahead of you, take care, and see you next time.
