I do not own Pokémon, Alvin and the Chipmunks, or Ed Edd n Eddy. There are OC's that I do own and I will assume that they are distinguishable. This is my first triple-category crossover in a long time. If anything gets confusing, my profile is the second best reference (the first being contacting me via PM). Enjoy! Note: Gaby is pronounced "Gabby", but spelled with one 'b'. Enjoy…again!

Chapter 1: Remembering Twinleaf Town

At the crater that was once Twinleaf Town…

The seven Space-Time Warriors stood in the crater, silent. These Warriors were Cynthia, Ash, Dawn, Brock, Gary, Thomas, and Hannah. (A/N: Thomas and Hannah are two of the OC's mentioned in the disclaimer) Dawn sat in the center of the crater. Her hometown was now nothing more than an earthy dent. Tears fell from her sapphire eyes. Ash and Brock looked towards her, feeling sorry for her. Gary was the first to speak up, "So Dr. Edward did this?"

"Apparently so," Thomas replied. He paced with his Vileplume at his side. "It's kind of sad. This is the power of the shadows. This is a perfect example of why the Pokémon of Creation chose us. To prevent things like this." But at the time, no one was able to prevent it. He, Hannah, Ben, Summer, and their tiny, furry companions, the Chipmunks and Chipettes, had their hands full escaping the explosion of the Sky Fortress. Everyone had their hands full with something.

"You know, that was a pretty wise thing for a fifteen-year-old to say," Brock nodded and said in approval.

Just then, a red jet plane with the words 'Ranger Bird 1' painted on it began to descend. Out of it came three of their friends: Chris, who piloted the plane, Edd, also known as Double-D, and Nema, the scientific young girl who designed the Ranger Bird 1. All three of them were Seers of Truth. Seers, dating generations back, always helped the Warriors battle the shadows. Edd was the Head Seer at age fifteen, because the Book of Prophesies chose him. The Book of Prophesies was a powerful artifact that would often lend its magical wisdom to the Seers. Edd greeted, "Salutations."

"Ben and Summer didn't come? Nor the Chipmunks?" Nema asked. Hannah shook her head. She said, "Darn it. A couple of Simon and Jeanette's friends were just revealed as Seers."

"Which ones?" Thomas asked.

"The ones known as Cheyenne and Fred. An interesting couple. A squirrel dating a chipmunk sounds intriguing," Edd answered. He looked around at the crater and shook his head. "An entire town was obliterated. This is heartbreaking."

"Dawn is taking it harder than anyone. This is—was her hometown," Ash informed the Seers and gesture to his friend, who sat all alone in the center of the crater. "She, Lucas, and Barry were the only ones from Twinleaf Town…that we know of, who were out of range of the blast."

"Well out of range," Thomas added. They were in Unova with us when this happened. Well, Dawn was with us, but Lucas and Barry were in another part of Unova." He pushed his glasses up his nose a bit. He checked his Styler, as he, Hannah, Ben, Edd, and Summer were Pokémon Rangers and Pokémon Trainers.

"Dr. Edward…he's a shame to Ed's everywhere," Edd shook his head. "I'm almost ashamed of myself for having a name similar to his, but what makes me not ashamed is the memory of what I'm fighting for."

"I think Dr. Edward only did it on the Shadow Master's orders. Like a lapdog," Gary theorized. He clenched his fists. "He's a clever lapdog."

Cynthia, who had still said nothing, saw Dawn get up out the corner of her gray eye. She watched Dawn climb out of the crater, realizing that she was heading to Lake Verity. Her plucky Piplup followed her. And Cynthia followed it.

5 minutes later, at Lake Verity…

Dawn sat down on the grass by the water's edge. Piplup sat down next to her. She whispered to the lake, "Mesprit, are you there?" As a response, the water rippled and shimmered. Dawn's sapphire eyes turned to a golden color. At last, a transparent silhouette, Mesprit's spirit, emerged from the water. Dawn sniffled, "At least you're safe, Mesprit. Everything is gone. I don't even know if my parents are alive. My mom…and dad…okay, sure, my dad was Cyrus, the same Cyrus that nearly destroyed Sinnoh and the fabric of time and space, but he was able to make up for that. He didn't deserve to die! Of course…you would probably disagree. He forced you into doing some terrible things, and held me as a hostage…"

"Piplup…" Piplup looked up at its Trainer with sad eyes. Translation: Dawn…

"They have to be alive! They have to be!" Dawn sobbed. She wasn't sure who she was saying it to; it was really more of an open statement. Since she was little, Lake Verity had always been her favorite place. Suddenly, the transparent form was no longer transparent. It was Mesprit in full view. The Emotion Pokémon flew over to its chosen one. Dawn looked up, "M-Mesprit?"

"Mesprit," Mesprit told her and wiped away her tears with its light blue arms. Translation: Don't cry.

"Thanks, Mesprit," Dawn took a deep breath and thanked. "I just…I don't know what to do. Coming here always helps me clear my head. A lot of wonderful things happened to me here." She turned to Piplup and said, "This is where we agreed to become partners!"

"Piplup, Piplup," Piplup nodded. Translation: I remember.

"This is also where my first date with Lucas was," Dawn looked to the sky and recalled. "He put his arm around me for the first time. We fell in love here. Every time I look in his eyes, I remember that night. I remember how we felt sitting by the water." She sighed and wished her boyfriend was there with her.

"Hi, there, Dawn," Cynthia came around and greeted. "Do you mind if I sit down?"

"Not at all," Dawn shook her head. She had always thought of Cynthia as an older sister.

"I'm sure you're going through a hard time," Cynthia sat down and said. She saw Mesprit, and then noticed that Dawn's eye color was gold. Making the connection, she smiled and said, "But you have your patron Pokémon keeping a close eye on you. I guess some could say that you're really lucky to have Mesprit come and comfort you."

"You don't think Arceus is watching over you?" Dawn asked.

"That isn't what I meant. I'm sure Arceus is looking out for me, but it doesn't appear right in front of me when I'm upset. I guess, given its size and power, that's a bit of a good thing. The mortals would probably be in panic if Arceus suddenly showed up on their front lawns."

This made Dawn laugh a bit. Cynthia went on, "I guess what I'm trying to say is that Mesprit sees you as a friend."

"As a friend?" Dawn looked at her and asked. Cynthia nodded and smiled. They looked out at the lake, watching Piplup and Mesprit play in the water. "Mesprit…"

"So, Dawn, have you competed in any contests?" Cynthia asked. "Now that I mention it, maybe I should enter one sometime. I could learn a thing or two about grace."

"Oh, come on! You and your Pokémon are very graceful!" Dawn told her. "In fact, there probably isn't a Trainer with as much finesse in all of Sinnoh!"

"You really think so?" Cynthia asked. Dawn nodded. The Champion decided to keep the conversation going. "How are things with you and Lucas?"

"Swell. We're as love struck as ever. How about you and Lance?"

"We try to make time to see each other. When we do get to see each other, it feels great. He's a great guy and one heck of a Dragon Master. I can't think of a better guy to be the Champion of Kanto and Johto."

Back at the crater…

"…so that is why I ask you to please hold off on burning me with your lighters," Thomas finished saying. Everyone gave him a confused look.

"None of us own a lighter," Edd informed him.

"Oh, that's just swell. Now how is my crazy scheme supposed to work?"

"We have Fire-type Pokémon," Ash reminded him.

"Your crazy scheme didn't make that much sense…" Brock claimed. "What made you think a tuna sandwich would be good bait for shadow ninjas?"

"They're ninjas," Thomas simply said.

"And if they're the enemies, why would we burn you with lighters that we don't even have?" Gary asked.

"Gary, I think you've known me long enough not to ask."

"Yeah. That's probably true."

"And why did you want to put mash potatoes—?" Nema started to ask. But she didn't see the use in it. "Boys will be boys…"

"HEY!" all the boys shouted, offended by the comment.

"So, now for business. I've been trying to find a way to bring back Dolce Island. If there is a way to bring it back, it will likely work on Twinleaf Town as well. I just have to find that way," Edd informed everyone.

"Seems legit," Chris claimed.

"Brilliant if you can find it," Thomas agreed.

"I support it!" Hannah pumped her fist in the air.

"Oh, yeah, and there is another Seer that we never told you about," Edd smiled. A girl emerged from the cockpit of the Ranger Bird 1. She was about Hannah's height, probably an inch or two less. She had dark, curly hair and glasses. "You all know Gaby, right?"

"Yep," Hannah nodded.

"Yay, I'm special," Gaby cheered jokingly. "I know I'm a little new at this, so can you please explain what happened here?"

"Okay, so it goes like this. A short while back, briefly after we met the Chipmunks and Chipettes, our friend, Ben, got caught in a space distortion and was forcibly sent to the Sky Fortress. Then, Alvin and Brittany were warped there. So we had to go there and rescue them," Thomas explained. "Blah, blah, blah, the Sky Fortress explodes, Dr. Edward escapes and does this." He finished with a gesture to the crater that was once Twinleaf Town.

"Wow," Gaby said in astonishment. It came as a shock to her that a single man blew up and entire town, and with no bombs. "So…what do we do?"

"Good question," Nema said and thought hard. "Dr. Edward was always a tricky one. Anything we try to do to him will be risky."

"And we have the rest of the Netherworld to worry about," Brock added.

"Yep. It'll be one heck of a time," Ash claimed while scratching Pikachu behind the ear. "Oh, yeah, aren't we going to use our old base again?"

"I'm not sure. I think so," Hannah tried to remember.

"I think we are."

Back at Lake Verity…

Dawn sighed. She wasn't sure what to do. She stood up. Piplup noticed its Trainer stand and got out of the water. Dawn stated, "I'm going to Sandgem Town."

"Sandgem Town?" Cynthia echoed, wondering why Dawn would go there.

"I want to see Professor Rowan," Dawn said simply and picked Piplup up. She walked away, and Cynthia decided to follow her and lend emotional support. Plus, it had been a while since she had seen Professor Rowan. She wanted to see him again.

Sandgem Town…

Dawn and Cynthia had just walked into town. All looked peaceful. No harm was done. Dawn was both saddened and relieved by this. Saddened because it meant that only her town suffered. But she was relieved for that same reason. She didn't want anymore innocent mortals to suffer. They walked to Professor Rowan's laboratory. Once there, Cynthia slowly opened the door. They found the professor speaking to two people. Two adults that looked familiar…it was Johanna and Cyrus! Dawn's parents were alive. Dawn ran towards them and her mother met her with a hug.

"Hello, Professor," Cynthia greeted Prof. Rowan.

"Hello, Cynthia. It has been a long time," Prof. Rowan grunted in response. "So, how is the Space-Time Warrior of Arceus?"

"Fine. I'm fine," Cynthia nodded. "How's research going?"

"Fine. It's going well. So, not even that mysterious Tobias beat you?"

"No. It was a great battle, though. I can't help but wonder where he got those legendary Pokémon…"

"Oh, Dawn, I was so worried," Johanna told her daughter.

"I'm so glad you're alive! I thought that you…" Dawn wept tears of joy.

"I know, Dawn. I know. Everyone managed to escape. Your father was able to hold off Dr. Edward."

"Dad?" Dawn looked over to Cyrus. He turned his head to face her, and she saw a small, yet noticeable scar on his cheek.

"He had one heck of a Pokémon lineup," Cyrus smiled and chuckled. "Thankfully, your mother pulled me out of the battle before I did something stupid. Thankfully, I listened this time."

Flashback, shortly after Dawn was born…

"Cyrus, this is insane! You don't have to do this!" Johanna pled with tears in her eyes.

"Johanna, don't you want a perfect world for us to raise our daughter in? A world with no war, no crime, no murder?" Cyrus asked; his eyes were crazy.

"Not at the cost of what you're trying to do!" Johanna shouted at him. "You're not the man I loved and married. Not anymore! You have to stop this, Cyrus, before you do something completely stupid!"

"Stop? You want me to stop?!" Cyrus was now shouting. "Don't you see that I am trying to do you a favor?!"

End of flashback…

Cyrus always looked back grimly at the memory. Thirteen and a half out of her fifteen years, Dawn was without a father. Why hadn't he listened to his wife back then? That memory was only a piece of a bigger memory. He remembered when he left. He had asked Johanna to come with him, but she abruptly and rudely refused. That was then…fifteen years ago…

"Cyrus?" Prof. Rowan awakened him from his trance.

"Oh. Forgive me. I was just lost in thought," Cyrus explained coarsely. Johanna knew that he was remembering that night. It was the night he left. The night she became a single mother.

Back at the crater…

"Ash, piano skiing will never be a winter Olympic sport," Gary insisted.

"But it will! It just needs to catch on!" Ash counter-insisted.

"What's the point of skiing off a piano, anyways?" Gaby asked. Chris just shook his head and sighed at the stupidity of the idea. Hannah looked away. Brock took notes. Thomas sat on the ground and talked to his Vileplume.

"We'd better find Dawn and Cynthia and head back over to our renewed S.I.P. base," Edd suggested. (A/N: If you are wondering what S.I.P. is, just PM me or check my profile for answers.)

"Good idea," Thomas agreed. He got up and asked, "Where are they? Are they still at Lake Verity?"
