Hi! Welcome to the story that I named myself called 'Time Flies'. As the name suggests, this is a Time Travel fic. Though it's not in the same universe as Ash and the gang or with any humans at all! This is the realm of the super-powered pokemon who holds the whole world under their very thumbs! Or at least imaginary thumbs for those who don't have any...

But, anyways, this fic will have quite a bit of angst in the beginning and maybe some more in the future. I don't know if I'll be able to develop more chapters as I go in, but I can do my best to try at least!

Before we get into this I just want to mention that I got this idea from other Time Travel fics, I got nothing in particular since I forgot their names, at least I can't seem to remember any. It wasn't until a couple of songs that shot up in my spotify that mentioned 'Time Machines' that I got hyped up to make this chapter.

Anyways, I have something to admit at the end of this short chapter, so please stay tuned until then. Good Luck!

I didn't think this would happen at all!

*BEEP*

Why here? Why now?

*BEEP*

Just when I started to take everything seriously!

*BEEP*

Arceus, why is this happening to me!?

*BEEP*

What did I do to deserve this?

*BEEP*

I ran through the halls in a quick pace, the beeping of the electronics in the halls blasted my eardrums, there was no way this was happening, it must be a dream, it doesn't feel real!

I nearly tripped on a couple of laid out boxes, but I regain my tempo immediately while rushing past another flashing red light, the hallways seemed like it would never end!

It was as if I would never reach my destination, maybe it IS a dream, and I just need to wake up now...

Any time now, I would wake up in my bed, my mother would be trying her best to calm me down, saying that I only had a bad dream. She'd have a cup of water with her so I could cool down, like she always does when I had a bad dream when I was younger.

But I'm not that young anymore, so maybe she would instead call over a couple of my friends to cheer me up. Yeah. That would be the best, there's nothing more that I want right now than to- "Oof!"

Damn random boxes! Made me trip, who leaves boxes out in the- "Oh god."

This really isn't a dream!?

The atmosphere around me must've gotten me into a drunken-like state, I was always influenced by my surroundings.

"Dammit!" I punch the ground in agony and pain. I could only WISH this wasn't happening to me right now. If only I didn't leave them alone when I shouldn't have!

"I-I gotta.. f-find them." I'm running low on steam again, for goodness sakes! If only I just recharged my regulator earlier! Then maybe I would be with them right now! I want my final moments to be with the ones I love and care for...

"Arrgh!" I can't give up, I have to do it for them!

I lifted myself off the ground and began once again, but this time I started sprinting.

The TM room must be somewhere around here! It just had to be relocated to another place, huh? "B-2, B-3, B-4, aha! B-5!" Found it in the nick of time!

I thrust my arm out to the door handle and shifted it open, there they were!

"Guys! I'm here!" I rested on my knees while I catch my breath. The sirens outside were silenced when the door automatically closed behind me.

"Arthur! Baby! Are you all right?" I was crushed in a tight grip by a larger Lucario.

"Mom? I'm fine! How is everyone else doing? No one got hurt?" My mother loosened her grip and nodded, I finally take the chance to survey everything around me.

I saw O'Neill, Mr. Big, Sophia, and my mother of course.

"Hey, where did Liss go!?" I asked them. She was supposed to be here right now, but she's gone!

Mr. Big turned to me. "She said she was going to see her children and family, while they were still alive." He said it in a tone that bugged me. Wait, no, it wasn't the tone, but it was else that bugged me. Though that doesn't really matter right now.

"What were you guys talking about. Y'know, the thing that I had to leave for?" I knew it was a discussion between them, but they didn't give me any details.

O'Neill looked like he wanted to say something, but instead just held back and said nothing. What were they talking about? Was it about the meteorite? Woah, wait a minute!

"How much time do we have now?" I tried my best to stay calm since this situation calls for order, not chaos. Mr. Big's face hardened as I said that, but didn't say anything about it. I walked up to him slowly, he must be having a hard time with this, but weren't we all?

I repeated myself to him. "How long do we have?" He couldn't avoid me any longer as I said that.

"9 minutes now.." He looks so suspicious, he was always horrible at keeping secrets. I kept my eyes on him, then I moved my nose up and down. That would always get him to speak!

But he didn't say anything, yet he looks like he had something to say. He's such a good and bad liar at the same time!

Why is everyone keeping secrets from me? Wait, there's still someone else I can count on!

"Sophia!" My words made her flinch tremendously, she stepped back. Sophia looked like she didn't want anything to do with me, the expression she made hurt me. Just what is going on with everyone? Shouldn't we be close to each other right now? Why are they shutting down on me?

The only other one was my mother. "Let me guess, your not gonna tell me anything either?"

She started crying as if the final string in her heart was torn in half. My mother held me in a big embrace, as if it was the last time she'd see me. Not in the way that we'd both die however, it's weird but that's how it feels to me right now.

Now that I mention it.. This atmosphere of grief around me is not for us... but for me!?

But weren't we all going to die?

"W-what's going on? Why is this about me?" Everyone looked up at me with a varying of surprised looks for each.

I must've hit the nail right on the head.

I was then suddenly grabbed from behind, my arms were put into a lock. "M-mom!?"

"I'm sorry sweetie." Even my own mother!?

If I wasn't so drained of energy right now I would at least try to put up a fight. They were acting so weird after their meeting earlier. Just what did they discuss about!?

My mother forcibly moved me to the edge of the room where THAT machine was. Wait...

"B-but that machine hasn't been tested yet!" I struggled as much as I could manage, but I was overpowered easily, with my usual strength I would have jumped out of the way about 40 feet by now.

O'Neill opened the door of the huge machine as we neared. "N-not you too!?" His face was pained, but he went through with it.

Inside of the machine was a c.l.i.p, a Continuous light Inventory Pocket. A letter. And a red knitted-looking scarf.

I was gently tossed inside by my mother, but I fell down anyways due to exhaustion. The door closed immediately. I crawled to the now locked door and started banging on it.

"W-wait! Why am I the only one in here!? There's still room!"

I knew it. The reason why I'm the only one. It's because of the lack of power isn't it? Everyone left so the power in the foundation had been reduced significantly. They excluded me in the meeting so that I could turn the power on.. They used that chance to decide on who's gonna use THAT machine and probably live.

There's only enough power for a one time use...

I started tearing up. "Why!? Why me!? Why not someone else, like Sophia!?" There was no use to pounding away at the door, but I kept on going anyways.

*Bang*

"What's gonna happen to you guys!?" I knew what was going to happen...

*Bang*

"Why wasn't I in the meeting!?" I knew why I was also not in the meeting...

*Bang* *Bang*

"I don't want to do this!" I didn't want leave them behind...

*Bang* … *Bang*

I grew immensely tired, my regulator must have had enough and shut itself down. "DAMMIT!" Tears streaked down my face freely, I could care less about what happened to me.

I grew silent, I was sobbing to myself. Then I heard my mother softly crying on the other side of the door, my crying intensified.

"That letter in there is from all of us.. Read it when you get the chance." I stopped sobbing, but my tears couldn't stop. "I knitted that scarf as a birthday present, I did my best, but it's not very well made." Mother...

O'Neill's voice piped in too. "Look. Everyone thought it be best for you to go, even Sophia." I didn't even want to answer to him, I was too tired. "You have to be strong, for everyone, we would have no more regrets if we were to send you. We wouldn't have it any other way with the same circumstances." O'Neill...

Then Sophia pitched in too. "My dad was hesitant at first, but he gave in after talking we talked about how you were the best choice." Sophia...

"I would have rather settled with having my daughter go, but you were also like a son to me, the son I've never had. Now I know that YOU must be the one to live, to carry on our lives and memories with yourself like a torch. I'm not very good with good-byes, so, don't let yourself get down over us. You're a smart kid, but don't be overthinking about everything, alright?" Mr. Big...

Everyone believes in me but myself.

"Please don't leave me alone!" I didn't want to lose them! My only reason for living! The only reason that I want to live on for! The only ones that I'm willing to die for!

I can hear something being typed into the computer, then, it stopped. "It's done." Mr. Big stated.

A huge pause filled the air...

"I love you all." I didn't want to regret not saying it. If it's going to be like this then I at least want to have a say in our good-byes.

"And we all love you too, Arthur."

My adrenaline wore off and I almost instantly went into a deep sleep...

Well, here it is. My first chapter in. Not really though, I have another chapter that was supposed to go first, but I noticed that it gave a lot of backstory, perhaps a little too much for a first chapter. So I decided to write an 'actiony' sort of first chapter so you guys wouldn't get bored.

Trust me, this sucker is 5,000 plus words long. I wanted to try to at least pull y'all in before I dump some info on ya! There are some things that wasn't explained in this chapter, but don't worry! It will come sooner or later, it might not even come until the 5th chapter or 7th chapter, who knows? Suspension knows..

Also if you were wondering, this fic will be all first person from now until the death of it. I had tried writing it the way it is with third person, but I quickly found it to be a pain for me, it was hard to make an impact that I was okay with.

Anyways, until we meet again. 1802 words w/o AN's
