Summary: Sequel to PMD: How It All Began. Separated from Grovyle and Darkrai closely watching her, Luna has very little options until she reunites with Jolt from the past. Supposedly with amnesia, Luna helps him realize his dream of becoming an explorer, but with all that's going on will she be able to prevent the planet's paralysis with Jolt's help? Or will Darkrai succeed in the destruction of time?

Character Descriptions:

Luna Starlight Hikaru: A young girl born between the human Tora Hikaru and the Pokemon Angela the Eevee. She's the youngest of eight siblings and is the goddaughter of Dialga, the Temporal Pokemon. A member of the Legendary Circle, an organization that is usually exclusive to Legendary Pokemon and is reponsible for keeping world order in the world. She possesses many unusual powers that made her a target of Darkrai when she was young that caused her father's disappearance, though most of those powers are currently sealed. She uses an alias by the name of Glacia to keep herself under Darkrai's radar, and has yet to tell either Jolt or Grovyle the truth about her heritage.

Autumn: A Leafeon and the older sister of Luna and Alexa, and a close friend of Grovyle and Drake. She seems to be of her sister's quiet suffering, but respects her wishes to keep quiet about it. She worries for Luna, but knows that her sister is more than capable of taking care of herself. She can be as caring as the autumn winds, but sometimes she has a temper as fiery as a volcano.

Alexa: A Glaceon and the older sister of Luna and a close friend of Grovyle. While she may be adventurous, the planet's paralysis has made her more serious minded than she used to be. She worries for Luna, but knows that her sister can take care of herself and anything that stands in her way.

Mana: An Altaria and a friend of Luna and Saki. She is aware of Luna's heritage but never cared about it and believes that doesn't define who she really is. She was born with the gift of prophecy, but never tells the full prophecy, fearing they would try to change it if she did.

Drake: A Salamence and a childhood friend of Autumn, a close friend of Fang and a friend of Kira and Grovyle. He had started out as enemies to Luna, due to the fact that her father wanted him to challenge her as she grew up, but has since become friends with her. He worries about Kira's role in Luna's plans but knows he can take care of himself.

Kira: A Sableye and a close friend of Razor and a friend of Luna, Fang, Drake and Grovyle. He may be working for Dusknoir, but in reality, he's a spy working for Luna so that she can stay ahead of Dialga and keep track of their movements. He uses Fang to relay any messages he has to keep everyone aware of what's going on, but he has to be cautious about it so that neither Dialga or Dusknoir find out where his true loyalties lie.

Dialga: The Legendary Temporal Pokemon, often reffered to as the "Lord of Time", and Luna's godfather. Luna worries deeply about what happens to him because of Darkrai and is willing to risk everything to prevent that from happening, even if it means having to fight him.

Chapter 1

A Storm at Sea

General P.O.V.

*Strike*

"Whoa! Wh-wh-whoa!" Grovyle exclaimed, trying to regain his grip. "Are...are you okay?"

*Strike*

However, Luna didn't answer. She was going in and out of consciousness as her grip kept slipping. Grovyle's eyes widened in alarm.

"No!" Grovyle yelled. "Don't let go! Just a little longer...Come on! Hang on!"

*Strike*

Luna tried but she knew she wouldn't last much longer.

"N-n-no!" Luna said, tiredly. "I can't...hold on…!"

*Strike*

Then Grovyle lost his grip on Luna.

"Waaaaaaah!" Luna yelled as she fell.

"Luna!" Grovyle screamed as he watched her fall but couldn't do anything as the wind blew him away.

A storm was raging outside near Sharpedo Bluff. The voices were drowned out by the lightning and thunder. The waves were extremely fierce. So everyone stayed inside their home and waited for the storm to pass.

On the beach the next morning, there was an unconscious Pokémon on the rocks. She was a female Glaceon with fur as white as snow. She had a white crescent moon birthmark on her forehead and she was wearing a sea green choker with a ice blue diamond gen attached to the choker. She opened her eyes slightly to reveal they were sea green in color.

"Urrgh…" She said Groggily. "Where...where am I?"

However, she slowly began to lose consciousness before she could look around.

"...I can't...Drifting off…" she said tiredly as she blacked out.

Outside Wigglytuff's Exploration Guild was Jolt the Pikachu. He was pacing outside back and forth with a thoughtful look on his face.

"Hmm.." Jolt muttered to himself as he was lost in his thoughts.

He then sighed before he looked at the guild building in front of him.

"No" Jolt said determinedly. "I refuse to be paralyzed by this any longer! This is it. I have to steal my courage today."

He then walked onto the grate in front of the building.

"Pokemon detected! Pokemon detected!" A voice shouted up.

"Whose footprint! Whose footprint!" A second voice shouted.

"The footprint is Pikachu's! The footprint is Pikachu's!" The first voice shouted.

"Waah!" Jolt screamed, startled.

He jumped off the grate in fright.

"That was too shocking" Jolt said, slightly shaken.

He then sighed.

"Whew.." Jolt said. "...I can't..I can't work the courage to go in, after all…I told myself this was the day, but…"

He then grabbed the Relic Fragment from the string around his neck and looked at it closely like he's done constantly these last two years since Glacia left. Just looking at it made him think of her and the bond they shared. He hoped that she was doing well, wherever she was.

"I thought that holding onto my personal treasure would inspire me" Jolt said.

Jolt sighed.

"I just can't do it" Jolt said, depressed. "I'm such a coward...This is do discouraging..."

Jolt knew where he should go. He needed some time alone with his thoughts and he knew just the place where he would be able to think clearly. So he left the area to head there. After he left two pokemon came out from their hiding spots to reveal a Koffing and a Zubat.

"Hey Zubat, did you get a load of that?" Koffing asked.

Zubat nodded.

"You bet I did, Koffing" Zubat said.

"That little wimp was pacing around..had something good right?" Koffing asked.

"That little wimp had something, that's for sure" Zubat commented. "It looked like some kind of treasure."

Koffing looked at Zubat.

"Do we go after it?" Koffing asked.

Zubat nodded.

"We do."

Jolt came to the beach to see the Krabby blowing bubbles. He gasped in awe at the pretty sight.

"Oh, wow!" Jolt exclaimed, excitedly. "What a pretty sight!"

Jolt watched happily as the bubbles reflected off the rays of the setting sun.

"When the weather's good, the Krabby come out at sundown to blow bubbles" Jolt said, happily. "All those bubbles, catching the sun's rays off the waves...It's always beautiful."

Jolt continued to watch the bubbles before sighing.

"This is where I always come when I'm feeling sorry for myself" Jolt said. "But it makes me feel good to be here, like always. Besides, this place holds a special meaning to me because it's the place where I met my closest friend. Coming here is uplifting. It cheers me up."

Jolt then noticed something near the rocks.

"Hey...What's that?" Jolt asked as he started towards the rocks. "What's going on over there?"

As Jolt got closer, he realized it was a Pokemon.

"Waah!" Jolt exclaimed, worried. "Someone has collapsed on the sand!"

When he got to them, he noticed that it was a female Glaceon. He noticed that she looked similar to his friend Glacia. They even had the same birthmark in the same location. Her eyes weren't open so he wasn't sure if they were the same color or not just yet. However, while Glacia had a scarf this Glaceon had a sea green choker with an ice blue diamond gem attached to the choker. He was pretty sure that this Glaceon and his friend Glacia could probably be twins by looks alone.

"What happened?!" Jolt exclaimed. "Are you okay?!"

Luna started coming back slowly to consciousness at hearing a familiar voice.

"..Ugh.." Luna answered, groggily.

After a few moments, she began to stand up again with a bit of effort. Jolt was relieved at that as she watched her take a deep breath before she turned to look at Jolt.

"You're awake!" Jolt said happily. "That's a relief!"

Luna then took a look at her surroundings.

Where...Where am I?...

She then noticed that she was on the beach at Treasure Town and that the sun was setting.

Is this the beach...In the world of the past?

Luna then turned back to Jolt.

"You weren't moving at all" Jolt explained, noticing her confused expression. "I was seriously worried! Do you remember how you ended up zonked out here?"

Luna shook her head.

It's better if he doesn't know why. I don't want him getting himself into a situation he can't handle.

"Well, I'm Jolt. Glad to meet you" Jolt introduced himself. "And who are you? I've never seen you around here before?"

Luna smiled at that.

"That would be because I'm a human" Luna answered.

Jolt then looked at her like she had three heads.

"What?" Jolt said, unsure. "You say you're a human? You look like a totally normal Glaceon to me, minus the unusual eye color and birthmark."

Luna then turned to look at the water and was shocked when Jolt was right.

How is this possible?! I sealed away my Pokemon form, so how am I able to access it? Did Darkrai's attack have something to do with it?

Jolt looked at her weirdly.

"You're...a little odd" Jolt said. "Are pulling some kind of trick on me?"

Luna shook her head fiercely.

"I swear that I'm telling the truth!" Luna exclaimed. "This is not the kind of thing I would make up just to trick someone. I really am a human."

Well, at least that's partly correct. It's just not the whole truth.

Jolt sighed.

"All right, then. What's your name?" Jolt asked.

Luna smiled softly at that.

"My name is Luna Starlight Hikaru" Luna answered. "But please just call me Luna."

Jolt nodded.

"Okay" Jolt replied. "You don't seem to be a bad Pokemon at least. Sorry I doubted you. More and more bad Pokemon have been turning up lately, you see! Many Pokemon have gotten aggressive lately. Things have grown somewhat lawless…"

As they were talking, Koffing and Zubat knocked into Jolt and Luna causing the Relic Fragment to drop to the ground from the string around his neck.

"Ouch!" Jolt exclaimed.

"Well, I do beg your pardon" Koffing said.

Jolt then turned around, looking furious.

"Hey!" Jolt shouted, furious. "Why'd you do that?!"

"Heh-heh-heh! Can't you figure it out?" Zubat taunted. "We wanted to mess with you! Can't face up to us, can you!"

"Wh-what?!" Jolt shouted in surprise.

"That's yours, isn't it?" Zubat asked, mockingly towards the relic fragment.

Jolt gasped in shock at the fact it wasn't around his neck.

"No!" Jolt shouted. "That's….!"

"Sorry, kiddo!" Zubat said, snatching it. "We'll take that!"

"Aaaah!" Jolt exclaimed, seeing them take it.

"Whoa-ho-ho! Not gonna make a move to get that back?" Koffing taunted.

Jolt looked furious but it seemed like he was trying not to fight them.

"What's the matter?" Koffing taunted. "I didn't expect you that you'd be such a big coward! Come on. Let's get out of here."

Zubat nodded.

"See you around, chicken. Heh-heh-heh" Zubat taunted.

Then Koffing and Zubat took off towards Beach Cave. Luna looked at Jolt to see he was close to tears.

"...Oh...Wh-what should I do?" Jolt said, pacing. "That's my personal treasure. It means everything to me. If I lose that…."

"Why didn't you just fight to take it back?" Luna asked.

Jolt sighed and looked at Luna.

"I wanted to avoid a conflict if I could" Jolt said. "I probably could have taken them both down with no problem, but I didn't want to hurt them too badly. That's why I try to avoid confrontations."

Luna nodded in understanding. Jolt then looked at Luna and she noticed a spark of fire in his eyes.

"I've got to get it back! Can you help me out?" Jolt asked.

Luna nodded.

"I'd be happy to help" Luna answered. "Besides, someone has to teach bullies like them a lesson."

"Thank you!" Jolt said, smiling. "Let's go quickly!"

Luna nodded and they headed into Beach Cave themselves. As they went through the cave, Luna noticed that Jolt hadn't been slacking in his training since she left him. By the looks of how his power he showed when taking down a few Shellos, he kept practicing even after the training stopped. As she watched Jolt fight while she stood at the sidelines, she came to a decision.

It's probably for the best that I don't use my full power while I'm with him or around anyone else. It would be too suspicious if I seemed very powerful when I apparently just became a Pokemon. Even though thanks to what I did, I'm only able to use half of my power. Still, it's better to play it safe.

When they continued through the cave she would fight using the lowest power she could do. It was enough to make it seem like she was just a young Pokemon with little fighting experience. How wrong they were about that.

When they got to the end of the cave, they saw Zubat and Koffing with their backs facing them. Jolt took a deep breath before he put on a brave face.

"Uh...Hey!" Jolt shouted, getting their attention.

"Well, well...If it isn't our old friend, the big chicken" Zubat taunted.

Jolt cringed slightly at the nickname before he quickly recovered.

"Give me...Give me back what you stole from me!" Jolt shouted. "That's my personal treasure! It means everything to me!"

"Treasure, you say?" Zubat asked, intrigued. "So that thing really is valuable, huh?"

"It could be worth more than we'd hoped for, I'd say!" Koffing taunted. "We ought to try selling it. Who knows? It might get a good price. Whoa-ho-ho! All the more reason not to give it back!"

"Whaaaat?!" Jolt shouted, furiously with his paws clenched into fists.

"If you want it back that badly...Come and get it!" Zubat taunted. "Heh-heh-heh!"

Jolt's cheeks sparked with electricity. Jolt looked over at Luna.

"You take Koffing and I'll take Zubat" Jolt said.

Luna nodded.

"Works for me" Luna said. "You just take care of the bat."

Jolt nodded.

Zubat charged at Jolt at the same time that Koffing charged at Luna. Luna and Jolt dodged it before Jolt let loose a powerful Thunderbolt at Zubat the same time that Luna let loose a weaker version of her usual Ice Beam. It wasn't long before they both fell to the ground, depleted of energy.

Luna then walked up to both of them.

"Serves you bullies right for picking on my friend" Luna said calmly but with an underlying bone chilling anger in her voice. "Now, unless you want to end up as a popsicle, I suggest you give him back what you stole. I would be happy to arrange that for you if that's what you want."

Her words scared the bullies and even Jolt. Something told them that she would carry out her threat without a second thought. Jolt figured that it would be best not to get on her bad side.

"Bah!" Zubat said. "Here you go! Take it then!"

Zubat threw the Relic Fragment at them and Jolt caught it.

"Whoa-ho! Don't think that you're so awesome" Koffing said. "You're victory was a fluke!"

"Yeah, you just remember that!" Zubat said.

Then Zubat and Koffing bolted out of the cave. Jolt sighed happily once he tied the Relic Fragment back on the string around his neck. Thankfully the string didn't come undone, but only the fragment had slipped from its proper position on the string that kept it in place.

"I'm glad that I actually managed to get it back" Jolt said, tearfully. "Thank you for helping me out, Luna."

Luna smiled as they began walking back.

"I was glad to" Luna replied. "That rock obviously means a great deal to you and I couldn't let them take something that was precious to you."

Not to mention that the Relic Fragment is the only way of getting to Temporal Island. Without it, we're pretty much screwed unless I use my Temporal power to get us inside but that would raise too many questions.

Once they were back at the beach where Jolt found Luna, Jolt took the string that held the Relic Fragment around his neck off and showed it to Luna.

"Here's what they stole" Jolt said. "I call it my Relic Fragment. It's my one treasure! It was given to me by a dear friend of mine."

"A friend?" Luna asked, pretending not to know anything about it.

Jolt nodded.

"Yeah" Jolt replied. "She's not from around here. She's an explorer and she gave it to me one day when she came to visit."

Jolt then looked out at the sea.

"You see, I've always liked legends and lore" Jolt explained. "I always get excited when I hear tales from the past! Don't you feel the same way?"

Luna laughed at Jolt's enthusiasm and nodded.

"Hidden troves full of treasure and strange relics" Jolt said excitedly, eyes sparkling. "Uncharted territories veiled in darkness and new lands just waiting to be discovered! Such places must be full of unimaginable gold and treasure! And history! Wouldn't it be amazing to make historic discoveries? That's what I always dream of. It's all exciting to me."

Luna laughed and nodded.

"I can see that" Luna said. "You must really love to explore."

Jolt nodded.

"My friends have had an impact on me" Jolt replied. "Two of them are explorers and one of them is a treasure hunter. They were a big influence on me."

Luna nodded in understanding.

"One day, one of my friends gave me this Relic Fragment" Jolt said. "I'll admit that it looks like junk, but take a closer look."

Luna looked at it closely and noticed the inscription that she hadn't seen in a long time.

"See? Doesn't that inscription form a strange pattern?" Jolt asked, excitedly.

Luna nodded and looked back at Jolt.

"Did your friend tell you anything about it?" Luna asked.

Jolt sighed and shook his head.

"Not really enough for me to understand its true purpose" Jolt said. "All she said that it was something from her homeland. What it was made for, I can only speculate."

Luna nodded.

It seems that he's keeping most of what I said to him about it a secret. That's probably a good thing. Less chance of anyone coming after him for it.

"I feel that there's some important significance to this pattern" Jolt said. "This Relic Fragment must be the key to legendary places! To areas where precious treasure lies! At least that's the feeling I get. That's why I want to join an exploration team. This fragment must fit into something...somewhere! I want to discover where that is. I want to solve the mystery of my Relic Fragment!"

Luna smiled and nodded. It was a good dream to have. It was probably a good idea because of what's happening right now in the world. She could've told him right now what it was for, but she decided not to.

It's probably for the best. Besides, I doubt that he'll believe me right away when I say that I came from the future. No need to put him in any more danger than he's already in just by having the fragment.

"So earlier, I tried joining an exploration team as an apprentice but I chickened out" Jolt said, sheepishly.

Jolt then sighed and out the Relic Fragment back around his neck before he looked up at Luna.

"What about you, Luna?" Jolt asked. "What are you going to do now? You lost your memory. And you somehow turned yourself into a Pokémon. Do you have anywhere to go after this?"

Luna was silent as she thought about the situation she was in.

Jolt seems to think that I can't remember anything at all. I really hate lying to him, but I suppose that it's for the best. He's not ready to face Darkrai. I suppose pretending that I have amnesia is the best way to keep Darkrai away from Jolt for the time being. Until this incident passes, it's better that Jolt has no contact with Darkrai.

After making that decision, Luna shook her head to answer Jolt's question.

"Then can I ask you a big favor?" Jolt asked.

Luna nodded.

"Sure, what do you need?" Luna asked.

Jolt sighed and closed his eyes for a moment before he opened them and looked at Luna.

"Would you be willing to form an exploration team with me?" Jolt asked. "I'm convinced that I can form an effective exploration team with you, Luna. So will you? Please?"

Luna looked at Jolt shocked. Frankly, she was surprised but she wasn't against it either.

Besides, this will give me the chance of training at a guild that I never got because of my duties. And this could also help me get one step closer to finding Grovyle.

Luna nodded.

"I'd be happy to, Jolt" Luna answered.

Jolt's eyes widened in surprise but he seemed happy about her choice.

"Really?!" Jolt asked. "You'll form an exploration team with me?"

Luna nodded.

"I have nowhere else to go that I can remember" Luna replied. "I figure that maybe by staying with you I'll eventually be able to remember my past. Until then, I'm willing to help you out in any way that I can. Is that alright?"

Jolt nodded.

"Yes! Thank you!" Jolt said, happily. "We're going to be a great combination! Let's make this work!"

Luna nodded.

"First, we should go to Wigglytuff's guild and sign up as apprentices" Jolt explained. "That's where we need to train to become a first-rate exploration team. I'm sure the training will be very tough...but let's give it our best, Luna!"

Luna nodded.

It has been a long time since I saw Chatot and Wigglytuff. This would be a great opportunity to see how they are doing. Besides, I'd like to see how Chatot acts around the other visitors.

Then Jolt and Luna walked away from the beach and headed to the path towards the guild.
