ApplejackStar: you might have known me as KristalShaga to all those Transformers and Gargoyles fans out there but I've started a new account. The reason for that is because I felt myself get better with writing. My old ones I feel were just not as good enough to how I could write now. I know my writing isn't the best one out there but it sure is a heck of a lot better from when I was writing script formats for fanfiction. Well now I'm into Sonic and Pokemon now and I proudly say I am a big fan of them so why not write a story of them together. I hope this crossover will be different from the others out there. So read and enjoy!
"It's a Genises Wave!" cried Sonic
He looked to his friends, Silver, Amy, Tails, and the Polar Freedom Fighters. Silver had a look of terror on his face as he held the Mecha Sally in his arms. Amy cupped her mouth with her gloved hands, not knowing the probability that could happen to them. Tails stared into the abyss of the bright light shadowing over them.
"Sonic…what will we do?" the young fox asked his older brother.
"Hope our minds won't be erased this time," Sonic replied.
The air smelt of crag and smolder. The skies and the landscape lay across the horizon, a world untamed of civilization, Mobians, and humans alike. Geysers sprawled over the land and spewed smoke and lava from their surfaces. The grey pools of wet cement lied next to them. A musty scent carried out from the fog of the geysers that could crinkle even a fireman's nose.
A bright orange sky hung over the barren land as mystical creatures flew high overhead. A mountain the size of two cities put together towered over the lonely rocky desert. It shined like silver in the rising moonlight. The crevices at the bottom glittered like a million stars in one night sky. Dried up trees covered the base of the mountain while a small creek ran into the massive hill and onto the other side.
On the other side of the silver mountain, a forest of full vegetation hung over the north side. Berries of all shapes, colors, and sizes grew in these trees. Some trees were recognized as pine, maple, or great sycamore.
Back in the crag area, a well-known blue-spined animal hedgehog moved in his sleep. He awoke from his unconsciousness with groggy eyelids and an aching head. He curled his fists and slipped them under himself to lift himself off the ground. Eyelids drooped; he eyed a drip of drool rolling down the side of his mouth.
"Ughhh…" he wiped the spit roll off.
Looking over to his right, the blue hedgehog saw a pink hedgehog and yellow two-tailed fox lying tiredly under a nearby dead tree.
"Guys?" he mumbled and perked his ears, "G-Guys!"
He stumbled to his feet, falling on his rear twice in the process, "Guys!"
He clumsily walked over to his two friends, not wanting to run in fear of tripping again. Eventually, he made the dusty trail to the two Mobians and got down on his knees. He shook the female hedgehog first. She scuffed her left ear and muffled under her sleep.
"A-Amy heheheh, Amy, wake up…We're alive," the blue hedgehog forced a smile.
"Ohhhh," awoke Amy and lifted herself up gently, "What happened? Sonic? Sonic?"
The blue blur already was making his way over to his little buddy. He slipped his hands under the fox's armpits and laid the little fox in his lap. "Tails, c'mon lil' bro, time to wake up," Sonic chuckled. He continued to shake the little boy awake until Tails did exactly that.
"W-What?" Tails blinked tiredly, "Oh…"
Tails laid a hand over his side and yelped. "My side!" he complained, "It hurts."
"You're lucky that's the only thing that hurts," Sonic patted him gingerly on the back. Tails coughed and cupped his hand over his muzzle. Sonic continued to rub Tails' back until the boy was done hacking. "You all okay?" Sonic looked to Amy, "At least we still remember who we are."
"Yes," nodded the pink hedgehog," Are you alright?"
Sonic shook his head, "Na, Princess Sally's gone and I don't see a trace of feather-duster head anywhere?"
Everyone didn't need to know who Sonic was talking about. Ever since that white hedgehog came looking for the "traitor" from the future, he always seemed to mess things up. Sonic narrowed his brows at the thought of remembering Silver accusing Antione as the criminal. He loved dragging his furry butt to the ill coyote and showing him just how wrong he was. Then he goes and accuses Princes Sally of being a traitor.
Damn liar.
What did that kid know about solving investigations? Even if Princess Sally was the right traitor she wasn't it on her own.
Like I care of what happens to that kid.
Sonic looked over to the horizon and whistled.
"What a place," Tails pushed a button on his GPS watch, trying to get a reading on where they were.
"I don't think we're on Mobius anymore," Amy shivered.
"It's so wild, unkept," Sonic tried to find any source of life. Then he noticed the wide landscape, "A-And so much free space and distance to…RUN!"
Before Tails and Amy could notice, Sonic tucked them under his arms and sped away from a large shadow hovering over them. Tails, bewildered, tried to look over Sonic's arms to see what was behind them but his bushy tails were in the way. Amy screamed in horror when she saw what was chasing them.
"GRRRUUAAAHHHHH!"
A brown and brick red creature with a horn on its nose along with what looked like hammers for arms and tail was rushing up to them. "Rhyperior!" screeched the animal and jumped high into the air. It was only meters behind Sonic.
It landed with a large thud. The earth under its feet began to break and a humungous quake began to fill the land. The fissure threw rocks into the air with full stealth, a stone hitting Amy in the foot. She screamed with pain and Sonic grit his teeth to keep her shrieking from damaging their getaway. How the blue blur wanted to turn back and face the giant monster for hurting his friend!
The breaking trail of earth was catching up to them and Sonic couldn't afford to stop.
He kept on running until the earthquake had stopped, a massive two hundred feet in length. The creature known as Rhyperior watched them as Sonic kept on speeding away;
"Amy, don't move," Tails warned her as he tried bandaging the wound with a leaf and cobwebs he found.
The three were hiding inside a hollow log, away from any sightings of the hostile inhabitants in this bizarre world. Tails remained nervous the whole time. This log would not shelter them from the attacks of the harsh beasts who lived here, Amy was screaming, surely to draw the attention of them, and Sonic, as usual, was trying to convince him into letting himself go and face the beast that assaulted Amy. Tails shook his head and said the safest place would be the log right now.
Amy bit her bottom lip and squealed in terror as she saw the blood coming out of her foot.
"There you go and it's just a little cut," Tails wiped up the trickle of blood with the cobwebs. He took the leaf he found and wrapped it around Amy's foot.
"Is that all you can do?" she asked terrified.
"No alcohol, no antibiotics; we're very lucky you didn't lose your foot Amy," Tails answered.
"Lose my foot?!" Amy asked. She quickly took her foot and cradled it in between her hands, "That monster was lucky it didn't take my foot or I would've used my Piko Hammer on him!"
"I say we should go back and teach that monster some lessons," Sonic hit his fist into his open hand.
"No!" Tails ordered, "I forbid it. If we go back, who knows what'll happen. A foot this time, but next time maybe a head!"
"What a way to chicken out Tails," Sonic rolled his eyes in annoyance, "Amy almost got killed and maybe that monster is a bad guy here, huh? Maybe he terrorizes the other poor little animals here like Eggman to us. You're just going to let that thing run lose. What if it attacks one of our kind who also got transported here?"
"Don't talk to me about importance!" Tails hissed as his tails bristled, "All you want to do is play hero, Sonic! You never think of what could happen. You always rush into things! What would Sally say or do if she were here right now?"
Sonic's face turned bright red. He bit down on his teeth and his pupils shrunk. "What would Sally do or say? What would she do? She wouldn't've gotten herself roboticezed! That's what!"
Tails and Amy stared at Sonic, jaw dropped. Their eyes were filled with dead silence and despair. The blue hedgehog slowly dropped his flailing arms and his ears drooped. Sonic knew that Sally wouldn't want them to fight like this. They should never fight or bring one another down like this.
"I-I'm sorry," Sonic wrapped his hand around his right shoulder.
"You know that Sally allowed herself to be roboticized to save Mobius," a tear dropped from Amy's right cheek.
"I know," muttered Sonic. He didn't want to hear it. He knew the story. He knew how selfless Sally was for her kingdom. Good ol' Sal…Good ol' Sal.
That night, everyone lay in the log, trying desperately not to fall asleep. The alien sounds outside their unsafe shelter filled the dark hollow. Amy stayed with her green eyes wide open while trying to ease her pain off her sore foot. Tails curled his twin appendages across his torso, wishing he had T-pup with him. Sonic stood guard, eying the outside world. They lay awake, in fear that their only place called home would be invaded by the outsiders.
The morning came slow and agonizing.
The three stretched their arms as they left their log.
Amy had to be carried on Sonic's back from her ordeal the other day. The dried leaf didn't do much with what all the blood that had come from her foot. The cobwebs soaked up most of the red liquid since Tails and Amy had to change them every couple of hours over the night.
"Amy, can I offer you a ride?" Sonic asked and bent down so she could get on top of his back, "How about a piggyback ride?"
Amy's brows chimed up and she nodded sweetly. Blushing, she allowed Sonic to scoop her up and she was all set on her blue Knight's back. She couldn't suppress her joy anymore and let out a big giggle. She wrapped her arms around Sonic's neck and shouted, "Oh thank you, Sonic! I feel much better already!"
Sonic hacked, "Amy, I can't breathe!"
The pink hedgehog loosened a little but not enough for Sonic to breath regularly. A crinkle came to Tails' face and the little fox let out a big laugh. It was always the joke that Amy and Sonic would end up together instead of him and Sally. This was too rich for Tails to give up. Sonic told Tails to stop giggling but as they continued to walk, Tails kept on cracking marriage jokes. Sonic chuckled bitterly and said at least he could get a girl to carry. Tails' two furry appendages bristled and he was about to bark until Amy played referee and stopped the two players from their cruel little game.
"That's enough for now boys," she scowled.
"Aww, Amy, where's your sense of fun?" Tails asked and stuck his tongue out at her.
"What did you say you little runt?!" the ferocious pink hedgehog went to grab for the Mobian fox.
"Whoa!" Sonic tilted to the left as Amy's full weight went into that direction.
The two ended up on the ground, Tails at the bottom, Amy in the middle, and Sonic on top. A few of the inhabitants of this new planet stopped and stared at the awkward trio. A purple snake with a cobra-like collar wriggled its way around a branch while a few tan and brown footed pig-nosed looking monkeys scratched their heads in a nearby tree in confusion. A few silver-looking rhinos stopped grazing and perked their heads to see the three friends fighting each other on the ground to get up.
Sonic stopped fooling around and noticed the audience they were attracting. A few of the animals were getting closer in curiosity. The one that got the closest was a little version of the silver rhinos. Sonic told Amy and Tails to be quiet with a finger to his lips and a "shhh." The young boy and girl and teenager stopped all movement to watch as the little rhino walked up to them. It outstretched its head and sniffed Sonic's red shoe. It made a bellowed grunt and kicked the shoe with its two-hooved foot.
"Graahhh," It blinked and then bit Sonic's foot.
"Ow!" cried the blue hedgehog.
The little rhino yelped and fled back over to where its parents lay under the shade of a nearby tree.
"Little guy has sharp teeth," Sonic sighed and examined his foot when he took his shoe and sock off. There was no blood drawn and besides a swollen toe, Sonic seemed to be fine. He put his sock and shoe back on and got up.
The three watched as the silver rhino family got tired of watching them and decided to move onto another area to graze in.
"It sorta felt like a rock was biting me," Sonic admitted.
"That's nothing Sonic," Tails said as he examined his watch, "My tech says that those rhino-looking-things are actually armored with solid rock!"
"But that's impossible!" Amy gasped, "Rocks don't move and certainly can't grow on animals!"
"That's maybe on Mobius, but this is a brand new world. Anything can be possible," Tails noted again as he gazed the area searching for other life forms.
The gang kept eye contact with the animals until they decided it was best that they kept moving. They did not want to aggravate any parents or any other beast that felt threatened of them being in its territory. Sonic, Tails, and Amy, kept on walking the barren desert for two hours. The sun was getting on them and making them all annoyed. Tails gasped for breath, Sonic wiped the sweat off of his forehead, and Amy wouldn't stop complaining. She felt the scorching rays of the yellow sphere in the sky wrinkling the tuft hair in the middle of her head and spines.
"Soooniiiiic, can we stop, I'm tired," she wailed.
"Hey, Amy, don't forget I'm carrying you," Sonic rasped.
They carried on for two hours until Tails fell to his knees and wanted to give up. Sonic set Amy on the ground and went to comfort his friend. He put his hand on the young one's back and gave him sayings that lifted the fox's faith. Sonic then stood up and looked over to the horizon and whistled. An idea came to his head. What if this desert didn't go on forever? There had to have been water somewhere around here or at least a mirage somewhere or an oasis.
Tails looked up and saw that Sonic wasn't looking away from the distance. The two-tailed Mobian blinked and looked to where Sonic was gazing. He bit his upper lip, trying to figure out what was out there. Finally, Tails gave up and sighed.
"What is it Sonic?" he asked, "What are you watching."
"I'm just thinking of leaving you guys to find sanctuary," Sonic said like it was everyday talk.
"What?!" Tails' fur stood up on end, "No Sonic, we have to stay together."
Sonic put Tails' flailing arms down and smiled and winked at him. "Don't worry Tails, you and Amy find shelter somewhere and I'll be back before you can say "two-tailed-brainy-ach-fox" twice."
"Ha ha very funny."
"Just trust me."
Sonic gave him a thumbs up and sped off, leaving a blue streak behind him.
Tails couldn't keep himself maintained anymore and tilted his head back with tears rushing down his face. He had taken on the Egg Fleet, Robotnik, Swatbots, and even the infamous Mammoth Mogoul. He was not used to feeling so helpless. He was a tech head, able to crack any system with a jolt of a button, he was a pro pilot with his twin appendages, and he was the freaking sidekick and best buddy to Sonic the Hedgehog himself! He wished he could turn into Turbo Tails right now and fly everyone out of here. There were no chaos emeralds, no magic jewels, and not even a single magic ring to help them out now.
"What's wrong Tails?" Amy asked. She smiled gently and laid a friendly grip on his shoulder, "Sonic will be back, you know that."
"I know Amy," Tails sniffed, "It's that, walking in this desert and knowing I can't go at the same speed as Sonic can, I'm afraid I'm no use to this team right now. I was more useful when I was chasing Fiona Fox! I'm completely helpless like the stupid little kid I am right now!"
Amy frowned and soon her frown turned into an angry expression.
"Miles Prower, you look at me and listen good! You provided way more services to the Freedom Fighters longer than I have. You're a brainy-ach that brought everyone closer to solving cases. You can fly for Mobius sake! Just because you feel you can't do anything right now doesn't make it true…" She chimed her voice and grinned, "Now you're punishment in giving up at our most dire moment in this world is helping me find a hiding place."
Tails wiped the last of his tears off of his face and nodded. He was still upset but the words from Amy Rose had brought joy and humor to his small moment. He let out a little chuckle and said, "Okay Amy, I'm game."
Animals cried out in surprise as a fast blue blur jolted by and they hid for cover.
Sonic, going at the speed of light, looked from left to right and smirked.
"Guess these guys aren't so tough when they see me in action," he laughed.
The wind pressed against his fur and ruffled his spines. The trail of dust kicked up from behind his buckled shoes. The freedom of having no trees, rocks, or people in his way excited the hedgehog. Just then a rocky crevice came into view. The land was getting higher and the altitude of the ground was levitating.
A massive mountain the color of silver-ish blue came into sight. The large rocky terrain had so many tunnels in it. Tunnels that led water inside. Sonic stopped and gasped. His dry mouth called to the lushes liquid. The sun beat on the water, making the river glitter like a million planets and stars at night. Animals bent their head and drank from the riverbed. Some were even playing in it. Sonic saw was similar to Dr. Quack the Duck swimming happily in the water while shaking its tail feathers. It was a robin egg's blue color and called out "Ducklett."
More animals jumped into the water. One with leaves all over its head and was a space blue yelling "Oddish! Oddish!"
"Shrew, Shrew!"
"Geodude!"
"Marill! Mariiill."
Sonic didn't care that there were animals bathing themselves in the water. Hell, he would even drink sewer water at this time.
The blue blur ran to a side of the river and got down on all fours. He licked his dry lips and dove his head into the water, frightening the nearby blue duck away from its swimming spot.
The water was surprisingly cold, not hot from the sun's rays. It was the color of cool light and refreshed the hedgehog's head, throat, and body. Sonic was so eager to feel more was this sensation that he jumped into the water, making a big splash. Drops of water hit the sand, leaving little wet drop marking on the ground. The hedgehog opened his eyes under water and saw more mystical creatures. He saw what looked like turtles and amphibians. Sonic stayed afloat in under the cool surface, allowing the water to carry his body.
As all could be happy and carefree, Sonic forgot one thing in his impulsive actions.
I can't swim!
Sonic opened his mouth under water, panicking, a big mistake as it allowed more water to enter his body.
He wrestled his arms, trying to resurface but the water pulled him further toward the tunnel area in the mountain.
Somebody help!
As all seemed lost, Sonic felt something slip under his arms and he began to wriggle, trying to escape whatever had gotten hold of him. He kicked his feet, flailed his arms, and tried to look behind him to see what had him. Bubbles formed from his mouth and nostrils as water filled his lungs. Suddenly, Sonic noticed something. The light at the top of the water was getting closer and the sand at the bottom of the river was getting farther away. He began to suffocate under water until he reached the water's top and gasped.
"Azuma!"
He was dragged to shore and felt something bouncing on his stomach. The water was hacked out of Sonic's mouth. He blew his nose trying to get rid of the extra liquid. Sonic kept hacking and coughing until he blinked and looked up at what was a blue animal with a white belly side and white bubble prints on its chest. It had ears like a rabbit and a zig-zagged tail with a ball on the tip of it.
"Azumarill?" it seemed to be asking Sonic if he was all right.
"Yeah," Sonic figured that's what it was saying, "I'm fine."
He managed to his feet and shook his fur dry. He thought of it as rude to have himself faced away from his rescuer. He suggested to himself he could at least thank the balloon creature.
The blu3e hedgehog turned around and went to shake the little guy's hand or-fingerless hand. How could it even grab Sonic without any fingers?
The creature blinked and saw his hand coming toward it. It flinched and walked back two feet. Sonic gasped and shook his head. "No I won't hurt you," he smiled and got down on one knee so he'd be in eye-level of it. "From attacking my friends to biting me on the foot and now you rescue me from attending my own funeral. I just want to say thanks," he said.
He waited five seconds for the "Azumarill" to talk back but nothing happened. It just kept on staring at Sonic with its mouth gaped. Five seconds was long enough for sonic and the hedgehog got up.
"Well-I guess I should be going n-Hey!"
Sonic felt something push against his back and the hedgehog turned around to see what it was. It was the duck creature prodding him with its feathers. A yellow mole then came up to them and poked Sonic too. The Oddish creature ran to them and nudged Sonic's buckled shoe. "A little curious much," Sonic rolled his eyes and jumped, "What the?!"
The Azumarill walked behind Sonic and noticed his spines. It gulped and touched one of the ends of them and gasped. Its hand was pricked and it sucked on it to make it better. "Be careful, would ya!" Sonic advised.
Before it couldn't get any weirder for Sonic, his tail was grabbed and pulled out. He yelped in pain and the animals jolted and ran a few feet away from him. The blue hedgehog straightened out his tail and gave them a pouting look. The animals looked at each other, puzzled at first, and then a smile came to the yellow mole's face.
"Shrew!" it shouted eagerly and revealed its own tail to the others and pointed at it and then to Sonic's.
The others perked a smile and nodded. The Oddish animal ruffled its leaves atop its head up and down and motioned to Sonic's spines. The Azumarill pointed to its aquatic seal-like fur and walked over to Sonic. It pulled off a hair of his. The hero wanted nothing more than to get rid of these annoying creatures until he was stopped when the Azumarill held up the hair and pointed to its own blue fur.
The creatures smiled and looked to Sonic and back to each other. They formed a circle and began to communicate amongst each other, giving the occasional look back at the hedgehog. They put their arms around each other's shoulders, the duck putting his feathers on the mole and balloon animal and the plant using its leaves on top of the other two's shoulders.
Sonic wanted to know what they were saying. They must of have been having a conversation of the century seeing how they never stopped moving their muzzle, beak, and mouth.
The group stopped talking and decided on something. The mole, Sandshrew, ran to a specific spot in the sand and began digging. The Azumarill went into the water and dived. The Ducklett swam to where there was a lot of seaweed and moss. The Oddish hurried its way over to a nearby granite rock.
In no time, they rushed back to Sonic and showered him with gifts.
Sandshrew brought him acorns from the ground it had buried for later consumption. Azumarill and Ducklett brought him moss and under water plants. Oddish brought him a few blue looking oranges from its own personal stash.
Sonic didn't know what to do. He simply stared at all the strange items in front of him.
The Oddish sighed and picked up a berry and put it into its mouth and began to chew and swallow. It smiled and opened its mouth to show Sonic it was all gone. It then pointed with its leaf at the food in front and then to Sonic's mouth.
"Ohhh," Sonic let out a low giggle. He winced at the food and smiled, his stomach already hating the idea; "You want me to take this stuff and-" He gulped, "-Eat it?"
The animals waited for his response. Some frowned, thinking if they were doing the right thing or if they had gotten him the right items of food. "Azu? Azumarill, rill!" The Azumarill looked to its friends, worried if Sonic wasn't going to accept their offering.
"No! No!" Sonic waved his arms, "It's okay." He nabbed an acorn and it made a loud crunch in his mouth. "I love…aghhhh…acorns." He made his way to the plants. They tasted like salt water! Next he tried the berries. Surprisingly he loved the taste of the blue orange looking things. They tasted like a black berry and orange mix. He chowed down on them greedily, ignoring the acorns and aquatic plants.
The Oddish smiled proudly and pat the eating hedgehog on the back. It then smirked seductively in a bragging way at the others and laughed.
The others frowned angrily and shook their heads, wanting their blue guest to like their food more.
Sonic was too busy munching to notice. He loved these blue oranges! He was about to take another bite until he opened his eyes and the sphere shape of the berry reminded him of Tails and Amy's head structures. He looked to the hot sky and gasped.
"I forgot all about my mission!" he shouted.
He got up and with fast speed, made a pouch out of seaweed and but the berries inside. Holding it in his right hand, he clubbed his hands into fists and said to the animals, "Ready to see something cool?"
With that, he bolted off and toward the mountain.
"Thanks for the grub!" he waved back at them.
They watched as their new friend ran like the wind across the river's surface, causing a massive wave on both sides to form. The blue blur jumped from the river's surface and onto a tall rock on the mountain's wall. He landed his free hand onto the pavement and jumped to another crevice and continued his way up the mountain that way. He kicked his feet in the air and landed on small patches of highlands separated from each other.
He jumped from highland to highland and did a spin dash up the wall of the mountain. He opened himself up and grabbed hold of the wall. He used super speed and made it up the tall mountain like a rock climb move.
The animals watched in disbelief and smiled excitedly, their imaginations rushing through as if they could do that.
They cheered and watched as Sonic gave one last wave good bye and made it down the other side of the silver mountain.
Sonic stared out at the vast surroundings of the mountain's side and whistled happily. He was right! There was a lush forest waiting on the other side of the desert. Trees the size of the one of the Great Forest shone high in the sky. The river's water poured through the land endlessly to form a lake the size of Knothole Village itself! It was like a miracle of hope that sonic had found this place.
Butterfly like creatures flew in the sky along with birds and bright sky was clear as day.
A cool breeze hit Sonic in the face and he yelled happily.
"This place is awesome!" he called out, "Tails and Amy will love it here."
When the sun reached over the next tree, Sonic had his friends into the forest area of the planet. That hot sun might've not have bothered those rock-like creatures in the gorge but this place was just fine for Sonic and his friends. He had found them sheltering in a cave. They waited there for a half an hour. When Amy asked what had happened to sonic, thinking he was only going to be gone for a half a minute when he found salvation, he told them of his experience.
"And some are not as hostile as we thought they were," Sonic motioned his index finger into the air to make his point.
"That's amazing!" Tails said, "The-"Azumarill?" rescued you from drowning and the Oddish, Sandshrew and Ducklett fed you!"
"Yeah!"
"Ducklett? Sounds like some kind of Eastern food. Bleghhh. Besides what did they feed you exactly?" Amy asked.
"Ummm-" Sonic did not wish to include the acorns and plants, "They gave me these."
Sonic lifted the seaweed pouch up for his friends to see. He unwrapped it and revealed the blue orange berries to them. He suggested to them to try them. He felt so much energy restored to him when he consumed them that maybe it would do the same for Amy and Tails. Amy shrugged and took one while Tails sniffed his. It smelt good and fruity and they plopped them into their mouths. Tails then smiled and Amy put her hands to her cheeks.
"Ohhh, they taste so wonderful!" she gleamed.
"Nothing like it before," Tails gave a thumbs up.
"I think they give back energy to you," Sonic explained, "When I was about to drop eating that acor-I mean-almost drowning, I ate these blue berries and they made me feel so much better! Like I was regenerated almost. You guys feel the same way right?" They nodded. "We gotta call these something."
"How about marango berries," Amy suggested.
"That makes no sense!" Tails said, "How about something that reminds us of Mobius. Just to feel closer to home."
"The skin feels and it tastes almost like an orange," Sonic said, "and it's almost the same size."
"That's it!" Tails jumped, "We'll call 'em Oran berries!"
"…I like Marango better," Amy gave an annoyed look to Tails.
"I like Oran berries," Sonic disagreed, "It sounds like orange."
Amy rolled her eyes as Tails and Sonic gave each other a high five. Boys one and girls zero.
"So this is where you guys are!"
The three stopped their conversation and turned around to see two figures rustling out of the bushes.
"King Elias! Silver!" Amy ran to the King and hugged him.
"It's good to see you two Amy," Elias blushed and tried to get the pink hedgehog off him.
"How long have you guys been wandering around here?" Tails asked.
"Must've been tough for old duster-head," Sonic squinted his eyes at Silver.
"Can it Sonic," King Elias ordered, "It was because of Elias that we survived our peril."
"We thought we were the only ones genisized into this world," Tails said.
"No," Silver shook his head, "We all five were."
"And where there's five, maybe all of Mobius was transported here as well," Sonic looked around eerily.
"Sonic, I promise, I will try to get everyone here to safety and back to our world. But first we have to find a solution for that. Maybe if we get to Eggman and we can make him-"
The king stopped when he felt droplets of rain falling onto his head. They all looked up. The black sky was forming overhead and grey clouds crackling lightning and thunder came. Animals rushed to their homes as the heroes for cover.
They tried to find a hiding space that did not contain any of the inhabitants. Elias warned them to be careful. Yesterday they ran into a brown bear looking creature trying to protect its young. Sonic told them of their monster and Silver nodded. "What did you do to get away? I used my telepathy to lift me and Elias out of the beast's way."
"Speed," Sonic rolled his eyes.
Silver ignored the aggravating hedgehog's comments and kept up with the group.
Rain hit them until they came to a clearing. They stopped and looked everywhere for either a cave or a tree to stand under. Nothing was available to them and the group began to get antsy in the shower.
"Look!" pointed Elias as he saw a bright light in the distance.
It came from inside a hollowed out tree trunk and without further questions, the team approached it carefully. Amy had her piko hammer ready in case they needed it; Elias, his sword, and Silver raising a blue illuminated hand. When they reached the tree Tails tried to get a peek inside but sonic stopped him and shook his head. Looking out for his little brother's safety was his main objective.
King Elias did the honors and poked his head inside.
"Charrr!"
Elias quickly pulled his head out as a giant flame shot out of the tree trunk and the five covered themselves around the tree's outside. Elias' heart pounding, he grew bitter and threw himself into the hollow.
"Now see here! We need shelter and if we have to fight for it, we will!" he bellowed.
The other four took action and followed Elias into the shelter. They wanted to meet the creatures that opposed their rights to the hollowed tree.
Inside, lay two attackers. An orange bipedal lizard with a weak burning flame on the tip of its tail and a brown fox looking creature with a white collar around its neck and tipped bushy tail. They were cornered up to the wall of the hollow and hissing at their new den-mates. The fur on the brown mammal rose up and the lizard revealed its fangs and claws. Sonic and the others raised their "weapons" and approached them to throw their attackers out of the den.
"Oh, don't you hurt them!" Amy suddenly said.
"Why not?" Elias belted, "They practically took my head off!"
"Because, look," Amy pointed and they saw what was the problem.
The orange lizard was gasping for breath as it tried to snort out another flamethrower attack. The fox animal was also tired as it had scrapes all over its legs.
"Looks like we weren't the only ones in trouble today," Sonic said.
"It doesn't matter," Elias said, "We still have to share this den together and I'm no intending to share it with the likes of these creatures."
"Especially the one spewing lava from its mouth," Silver gave a squeamish look at the lizard.
"I'm sure we can all share," Amy suggested peacefully, "Maybe they're hungry. Sonic, don't be a hog and share those Marango berries with them as a peace offering."
"Oran berries," Tails rolled his eyes.
"Whatever, I-"
Amy was stopped when the orange lizard fell to its stomach in defeat.
"Char, char," it gasped.
Its eyes were closed in pain and weak sparks of flames came from its mouth. "Eevee, Eev," its friend said in concern and rubbed its back with its forepaw. The lizard looked to the mammal and sighed. It tried opening its jowls to release a flame but it couldn't. Its stomach growled and it curled up into a fetal position with its tail wrapped around its body. When Amy approached to help the animal, the fox jumped into the way and growled at her. It wasn't until the fox felt the pain in its legs that it fell to its belly too.
"You poor things," Amy gingerly reached out for the fox animal.
It growled angrily at her but when she got closer, it coward away and hid behind its friend's lifeless body.
"Hey, it's alright," she chimed, "That's it. Hey, you're not so scary after all aren't you?"
She scooped the fox into her arms and cradled it closely to her chest. She took the oran berries from Sonic's pouch much to his dismay and held it up to the animal's muzzle. "You go ahead and eat all you want," she encouraged.
The fox sniffed the oran berry and recognizing what it was, it began to nibble on it. It looked to its left toward the bipedal lizard and grabbed the oran berry in between its teeth and jumped from Amy's arms, stumbling in the process. It went over to the orange lizard and placed the berry down next to its friend. The lizard smelled it and outstretched its tongue to taste the succulent fruit. It coughed and its head fell to its side.
"Ee…Eevee," its friend nudged it again.
"They show concern for one another?" Elias blinked in confusion, "But aren't they supposed to be nothing but animals. Animals care only for themselves unless they have young."
"Not all of them are like that," Sonic answered and explained his earlier encounter when the other animals offered him food. Elias spun his head into Sonic's direction in surprise. He looked back to the animals and gave a disagreeable look.
"And they're not supposed to have pyro-kinetic powers or-"
"You're thinking too much about it King Elias," Tails said, "But I am concerned for this little lizard."
Elias analyzed its weak flames spouting out and noticed its tail. It seemed to grow and decrease to the size of whatever flame the lizard was spewing at the time. It seemed to be a connection. What if there was a connection to the gastric chamber of the lizard and its tail. The flame on the tip could tell if it was ill or well. Whatever it was, the lizard was indeed not feeling well by plain sight.
When Sonic told him more about the other animals they've seen with un-normal powers, Elias thought more.
"Maybe there's a connection between all of this," he said with a quizzical look, "What if this new world's inhabitants have different types of powers all together. And their powers weaken when they're malnourished or weak."
"But what can this one do?" Amy asked as she placed a hand on the brown and white mammalian creature's head.
"I'm not sure of that one," he says and joked, "We just have to see what power it tries to take off my head with next."
"Whatever it is, we have to get these mystical creatures well again. Especially this one if we want him to live," Amy said as she pointed to the fetal-positioned lizard that shivered.
Together, the team worked to get the oran berries for the orange lizard squished and into a paste so it wouldn't have to chew it being unable too. They used rocks and a leaf as a plate. Elias lifted the orange lizard into his arms and dipped his finger into the oran paste and placed it into the lizard's mouth. It was surprisingly not biting him, instead the animal allowed the king to do whatever was necessary to help it.
He settled the lizard down next to its friend who was busy eating solid oran berries.
"So what happened to you guys on the first day?" asked Amy.
"Well, we were-"
Silver and Elias stopped in sync and looked at each other. They had to keep the Secret Freedom Fighters a secret from the others or else they would blow everything Harvey Who taught them in.
"I was in the Great Forest and-"
"I was with you," Silver continued for Elias and the squirrel nodded.
"We awoke to find ourselves in this forest and were frightened and confused just as you," King Elias started up again, "We ran into that bear like you were attacked two. Poor Silver had to stay up practically all night to keep us aloft in the air with his telekinesis and away from predators."
"We didn't get any sleep last night either," Tails said.
"We met up with each other when I was hovering overhead and I found Elias struggling in the woods with the bear." Silver began.
"We fed on apple trees we found in the forest and ignored the beasts here."
"Basically we worked as a team until we found you guys. We wanted to make sure we weren't the only ones transferred here as well and our hypothesis was proven right."
"Good job you two," Sonic winked, "Even for ol' prickly-butt here." He then gestured to Silver and the white hedgehog gave him an irritated look.
"Look, Sonic the Hedgehog, I-"
"Hold that thought Silver," Tails waved his hand at him, "My watch is going haywire. I think it's interfering with this new wor-"
Just then, an image projector came out of Tails' watch and the five stared up at the image. Even the two animals were interested and looked up.
"…Nicole!" Tails shouted, "You're here! Thank Mobius."
"Yes, hello Tails," The computerized Lynx smiled sweetly at the young fox and looked to the others, "Hello everyone, I have been genisized to this world too. I felt a horrible sensation going through my hard drive when I felt it."
"Yeah we all had a hard night Nicole," Sonic admitted.
"Anyways, I was doing research on this new planet and there's much to tell but first I would like to tell you that I have pinpointed directions on where our other friends are like Bunnie and Antione and Knuckles who's right inside the-"
"Wait! You said pinpointed directions?" Elias gasped, "Y-You mean you've found where my sister could be?!"
"Yes," Nicole nodded, "But whether still a robot, I am not sure. I know you're considered about her King Elias and I am too but Sally is in the deeper part of this forest and I just don't know where yet. But what I was about to say is I've discovered Knuckles the Echidna inside the mountain I have affectionately called Mt. Silver for its color like appearance."
"You mean the mountain we just came from?!" Sonic asked, "No way, we get Sal first."
"Sonic, my calculations tell me the more people we get back together or have a close link to me, I will have more information on the direction of Sally. I-I'm afraid the people closest to us first should come first in finding."
"-Alright," Sonic said hesitantly, "But I don't like it. It makes no sense to find someone first that knows how to take care of himself."
Nicole grits her teeth in anxiety and shook her head in fear of Sonic, "I'm sorry Sonic. But in order to find answers to Sally, we must find Knuckles first."
"Alright, what are we waiting for?!" Tails asked, "Let's go."
"One problem," Amy said, "What about the animals?"
"My research tells me that the bipedal lizard can't go into the rain because if the flame on the end of its tail goes out, it will die," Nicole said.
"We've made friends with these little guys," Amy shouted.
"Speak for yourself," Sonic rolled his eyes.
"Sonic the Hedgehog!"
"Okay, okay," Sonic gestured a flat palm to Amy's face, "First we wait for these guys to heal, and we set off in the morning to find Knuckles and THEN Sally. So-What do we call these lil' guys anyways?" Sonic smiled amusedly at the animals, "Furry and Pyro-Butt?"
The furry fox frowned and threw an eaten oran berry at the blue hedgehog. It shook its head and the lizard and fox said their names;
"Eevee."
"Charmander."
"Huh, good names," Sonic smiled, "Weird but good."
"Sonic," Nicole said, "There's just one more thing I have to add. Remember Knuckles' people…I think they came here with us."
AppleJackStar: Well, you've had it people. What surprises will be waiting in the future? Will Knuckles find his people? Catch the next chapter soon enough. Thanks for reading. See ya next time.
Chapter Review: I know what you're all thinking. Where's Ash and his friends? Well I decided not to add them into the story because I wanted Sonic and the gang to have their own adventure beginning with all their pokemon pals. I am a Pokemon fan but honestly I think Ash would've had too much spotlight if I had added him into the story. I'm also not going to give one part of the crossover more plot line than the other. I want to stay true to the Sonic comics as much as possible and yet still give the same amount of share time to both Sonic and Pokemon atmosphere.
I've honestly had this idea for a year and a half now and figured out all the chapters. I have a few pokemon in my pokemon game that is similar to the pokemon in the storyline. I already picked specific pokemon for the characters so I can't take any special requests. But if there's a character who you feel desperate needs one I haven't picked for yet or I could add a second on the team of one Sonic characters, give me a review and I'll be happy to comply with that person's request. Thank you and until next time.
