IMPORTANT NOTE: The character Alex does not belong to me, but is a creation of the wonderful writer who is Gamerfan411. Less important note: Pokémon is

not mine. This is going to be PMD: Explorers of Sky, a novelization but with three Pokémon though instead of two, Alex, the partner, and my OC. This is an

Alternate reality for his (Gamerfan411) fiction. Due to me being terrible at writing romance, this will not contain Eve. It is an Alternate

Reality though, so I don't have to have her.

Two creatures were running, a Grovyle and a blonde-haired human, as fast as their legs could go. The human, though only ten years old, had gotten through many tough situations, yet the Grovyle, who was only one year older, had seen countless more. The Grovyle had a few scars on his chest due to the many clashes that they had been in. He thinks of each as a trophy that tells how far he has gone for his belief. Grovyle could also tell when things were wrong because of his extraordinary battle instincts. However, despite the battle hardened instincts, Grovyle nearly tripped over a tree root that grew a foot off the ground. He could barely see it, due to the darkness. The only source of light was a few stars twinkling over their heads. Those few stars are the only reminder of what once used to be a wonderful, bright and hopeful land. They were so focused on their mission to the point where nothing else mattered. Tripping would slow them down, so they tried their best not to. The human, being taller, stepped over the root with ease. His name was Alex. He had a few scars on his head and chest from some of the same battles. Other scars were caused by random skirmishes. The scars made him look older than his actual age. He was only ten, but he looked at least five years older. His clothes were small for him, but he was glad that he had them because it always is cold. He hoped when the past changed, the future would be a warmer place for those who lived there. The temperature was about fifty-four degrees, so it was a rather warm day. Alex was also carrying an extremely old exploration bag. It had a red shoulder strap, and it could carry thirty-six items. The red color had become faded in most places and looked more of a faded rust color which Alex always thought that was a little ironic since the first time he had seen it. The bag had a few tears on the sides. The sewing was done well originally, but it was coming undone due to its age.

"Not much farther." Alex said, exhausted and sore. His face didn't show signs of fatigue.

"Yeah, we need to keep going if were going to stay ahead." Grovyle thought. They had to stay ahead of Duskinor and his Sableye minions, who they had a close run in with. The Grovyle was worried about his partner- no, his friend. He had jumped in front of their fury swipes to protect him and had gotten injured in the process. His right arm had multiple gashes on it and his left had bruises from a different battle with a rock type Pokémon. He knew that they had to focus on staying ahead of Duskinor, and his partner was tough enough to keep running. Grovyle respected his friend's forbearance. They didn't have far to go to get to the passage of time where they would continue their mission to make a good future.

"If we keep running at this speed, we'll be there quickly." Alex thought. The thought fueled him to keep running, despite the burning sensation in his arms and lungs. It was then a random teen had gotten out of the trees and into the cleared path directly in front of the two friends. He looked to the side, and saw the two running right at him.

"Wah!" The person yelled, trying to get out-of-the-way of the two. He was so surprised at seeing a human and Pokémon partnered up that he couldn't move. His feet felt like bricks and cement, heavy and unyielding. They didn't notice or hear him because they were too focused on their mission. They quickly crashed into the body, all of them tumbling and involuntarily doing somersaults. "Sorry." He apologized. They didn't hear him again, and they didn't care either. They had to complete the mission.

Alex got up, wincing slightly as dust had gotten in the wound and irritated it. Alex brushed some of the excess dust off his arm. They started running again soon afterwards. The person they had tripped over was curious to see what their reason to rush was. He began running to catch up with them, and he didn't notice the multiple dark forms hiding in the shadows.

"Master Dusknoir." One said.

"Yes, I saw the scene. They picked up one extra follower. We must be careful to not alert any of the three." Dusknoir said with no trace of an expression on his face. His voice had little emotion, if any emotion at all. Secretly, Dusknoir had feared that his eager companions would alert any or all of them. He closed his eye for a moment, breathing out a short sigh before opening them again. "We must have caution. I hope the Sableye can wait a little longer to have their fun disemboweling them. Things have gotten slightly more difficult for me." Dusknoir thought, looking at his companions. Dusknoir left, followed by his tireless minions. Meanwhile, the two friends made it to dusk forest clearing with no sign of their pursuers catching up behind them. They were suspicious of that, Dusknoir would never let them go to far ahead, nor would he pull back when he knew the duo were so close to their goal. They looked around for their other ally, searching in the darkness. Their only light source were the stars, and they didn't help much to find their ally. She was great at hiding and escaping despite being a shiny Pokémon.

"I can barely see a foot in front of me. Celebi, if you're here, come out." Alex said. Grovyle sighed at his friends courage. He was very brave and smart usually, but his bravery made him seem and act stupid sometimes. He is impatient as well, which only worsens it. They both knew that Duskinor had to lurk nearby, but they both also understood that if they didn't find Celebi quickly, Duskinor would attack. That means they had to find her and start moving quickly.

"Courageous, way too courageous." Grovyle thought, shaking his head. The words of Alex made Celebi know who they are.

"I was wondering when you would get here." A small pink Pokémon came out from behind a tree.

"No time for chat, Celebi. It's time for us to go." Grovyle said.

"I still remember the first time Alex met her, he commented on her unique color, and she hit him so hard he was red for days. That is one of the strangest memories that I have. However, I can't get distracted." Grovyle thought, shaking the thought out of his head.

"Sometimes I wonder what they are saying." Alex thought.

"Well, let's go." Grovyle said, pointing to their goal . All of them had left the clearing and were headed to the passage of time. The teen from before had just arrived their as well.

"I just missed them judging by the fresh footprints," The person noticed "well, I gotta get going if I'm going to see what they're doing." "I likely don't have to much farther to go." He thought. He sighed and continued on to find them.

Duskinor materialized right after the teen disappeared into deep dusk forest.

"They may have gotten this far, but no further." Duskinor said. "Sableye, we will intercept them at the passage of time. Lets go." He said.

Duskinor laughed darkly, thinking "Those two have had quite a journey, to bad it will be shortened when we get rid of them for good. For good measure, I should get rid of that random teen." Duskinor and the Sableye disappeared into darkness. In a short time, Duskinor got to the passage of time.

"Now we wait." Duskinor said. The Sableye were eagerly waiting to dismember the two friends.

"How long do you think it will be?" A Sableye asked impatiently.

"Quiet. Somebody is coming." Duskinor said. The Sableye jumped with excitement. They all hid behind rocks while Duskinor hid in the shadows.

"Something's not right." Grovyle said.

"Something's off." Alex said. They slowly crept forward, odd feelings giving a strong sense of foreboding and fear.

Grovyle put his blades in front of himself and Alex put his hand to his bag, about to take an orb out of the bag he was carrying. They both looked around to see where the feeling had came from. Celebi prepared to time travel if she needed.

"Hey!" A loud voice shouted. The two turned around to see the other person who followed them from the moment they ran into him.

"Ugh. I finally caught up to you. I want to know what you're doing, running so fast." He said, breathing heavily at running as fast and as much as he had.

"There are about fifty humans left on this continent, and we literally run into the loudest and one of the most tenacious people." Alex said.

"Sorry, there isn't much that I can do here, it gets boring. When I get curious, I need to see what things are, or figure out what happened and things like that." He responded.

"I guess I understand, but we have to focus on our mission. It doesn't involve you." Alex stated. They turned to head for the passage when they heard an all to familiar voice.

"You have gotten far, but it seems that you were to slow." A dark voice laughed. Appearing out of the darkness, Duskinor got into a battle stance. The Sableye came out from behind the rocks.

"Huh!?" The human yelled, wondering what had happened, and would happen. "Well, Duskinor. You may have us trapped, but you won't beat us easily." Grovyle said. Duskinor launched an ice punch, which Grovyle blocked with his leaves. The two humans backed off, but ready if they would be attacked. Alex pulled out an orb from his bag, and the other human got into a battle ready stance.

"What's your name?" Alex asked.

"Daniel, most call me Allen though. It's a long story that involves a riolu, an apple and a marital arts instructor's sacrifice." He responded. Allen jumped backwards, out-of-the-way of a fury swipes and kicked the Sableye, which didn't have much of an effect. The Sableye took a small step back and was about to launch an extra powerful fury swipes. Alex used an orb, which put the Sableye to sleep before it could. Allen picked it up, spun around to gain momentum and threw it at another Sableye. The Sableye had gotten caught off guard and hit his head quite hard on the rocky surface, stuck underneath the first Sableye. It growled at the pain of landing on it's face after it pushed the other Sableye of. Though it tried to charge the two, it was hit by Grovyle who had attacked it head on with leaf blade. It turned around only to be slashed through his stomach. It collapsed to it's knees and then onto it's face again. It had a gash that leaked a dark purple gas on it's stomach. Allen winced slightly, glad that he was not on the receiving end of the leaf blade.

"Note: don't be on the bad end of it's leaf blade." Allen thought, making a mental note. The other Sableye was knocked out in its sleep by Celebi's ancient power. It would be bruised if ghost types could be bruised.

"That Grovyle must be powerful if he was able to wound a ghost type." Allen thought, his thoughts drifting off a little.

"What would you like me to call you?" Alex asked.

"Oh, Call me Allen." Allen responded, slightly surprised at the question. He would have expected the question, however he was still wondering how powerful Grovyle actually is.

"Oh, the battle is over already?" Alex said, surprised at how fast they took care of duskinor.

"You're lucky that I was already weak from teleporting with darkness!" Duskinor shouted, angry at this major and embarrassing defeat. "Yeah, we wouldn't have won as quickly." Grovyle said. Duskinor slammed his fist into the ground moments before he disappeared. Soon after Duskinor disappeared, the Sableye jumped up from unconsciousness, somehow knowing that their master had disappeared.

"Wah!" The Sableye all shouted in surprise. The Sableye had gotten left behind. They rushed out to find their master, who had abandoned them.

"Come on." Celebi said with a gesture. Alex went over to Celebi, who then created the portal to the other time.

"Well, this is it." Celebi said. Celebi felt as though she was dying on the inside, knowing that she would never get to see her friends ever again. She would miss grovyle the most, but she couldn't say it even though this was the last time they would meet.

"This is for a new world, a better one filled with happiness." Celebi thought.

"Yeah, this is it. Goodbye, Celebi. You were a great ally, and a better friend." Grovyle said. The two friends looked at each other, clasped hands, and leapt into the portal. The other human looked at Celebi, a little concerned because she looked extremely depressed. Celebi sighed and started to fly off. The strange blue portal made him curious.

"What is this portal thing?" Allen wondered, reaching out to touch it. "No!" Celebi yelled, but it was a little to late. Allen had already touched the portal and started traveling through time. "Uh-oh." Celebi murmured, as she could only watch "I can't do anything now. May a good fortune shine down upon you." Celebi quickly left.

"WAH!?" He screamed, confused at what just happened and in pain. His body hurt as if it was breaking apart and reforming an instant later. He looked at the portal and thought he saw a creature standing there. He assumed it was Celebi, but it looked bigger and more sinister. He looked down and saw two other forms. Allen recognized them quickly. The evil looking creature launched something at the portal. Allen was just about to reach them, but they hadn't noticed him yet. Something came flying to the two friends, and Alex put himself in front of Grovyle, protecting him. Everywhere the area seemed to waver and wobble. It would give anyone a headache.

"W-whoa. Are you okay?" Grovyle asked, extremely worried about his friend.

"N-no! I'm slipping." Alex shouted, breathing heavily. The air seemed to get thicker at every passing moment to the point where they thought it had become as thick as water.

"Hold on, just a little longer!" Grovyle yelled, desperation in his voice.

"N-no, I can't... hold on..." Alex said, his eyes slowly drooping shut. Their hands slipped from their grasp and they both started going out of control. It was like someone had gotten to space and started tumbling out of control and continued to slowly gain speed.

Allen quickly guided himself over to Alex and shouted "You won't die today!" Grovyle looked shocked as the passage of time they were in almost completely shattered, the connection seemingly held on by a thread.

"WAAHH!" Grovyle yelled, sad and surprised at what happened to his partner. His eyes were wide and filled with fear and confusion. There also was a small tear that started falling from his left eye. His friend had slipped from his grasp and he didn't know what would happen. Grovyle had feared for the fate of his partner. Alex could die, both of the two humans could die or their bodies could vaporize, leaving them with only their spirits. Alex's eyes closed completely, only half aware of what happened. They all fell to the sides just before the portal's connection to the two times ended. The three saw a large, painfully bright flash of light that eagerly and quickly consumed them before all they saw was darkness.
