Chapter 1: Five Years Later

(Alicia's POV)

It was a perfect day out. It was a sunny, cloudless day in the summer. Ericka and I, now 23 years old, were sunbathing on the front porch. We had the same house that we had, but we had to do some modifications for our kid's rooms. They had hatched almost five years ago, and Landon and Nathaniel were training with them. Then, the day took a slight turn for the worse.

YAAAAAAAHHH-HAAAA-HAAAA-HAAAAAAAAAA!

A blur of silver, red, blue, and white zoomed past us and we were blown off our seats. I looked up, annoyed, as I saw our husbands and kids flying down the street at near supersonic speeds. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention.

We're Pokemon.

Ericka, our girls, and I were Latias, and our husbands and sons were Latios. Pokemon are indeed real, but not in this world. About twenty-three years ago, Nathaniel and Ericka fell through a portal as eggs and fell into the human world. About eighteen years after that, We found them both. Over that year, we had accomplished so much.

All of us could fly at high speeds.

Landon and Nathaniel were able to take down tougher enemies faster than any of us.

Ericka and I could find anyone in the world without exhausting an ounce of psychic powers. And the kids accomplished all these feats faster than we ever did. I was about to go over there and give them a piece of my mind, but Ericka put a hand on my shoulder.

"Let it go Alicia, they're just playing." I sighed, righted my chair, and sat back down. I closed my eyes, trying to get a tan that would impress Nathaniel. I felt something behind me, and turned around. I didn't see anything at first, but a flash of light revealed Nathaniel in his Latios form. He transformed into his human form and kissed my cheek.

I returned the kiss and asked, "How are they doing?"

"They are progressing fast. Almost too fast," Nathaniel said.

Skyler zoomed up and also transformed. He fell into my lap slowly and hugged me. He then said frantically said, "HiMom! DidyouseehowfastIwasgoing? Didyadidyadidya?" I giggled at his hyper-active nature.

"Yes, Skyler, I saw." I looked over at Nathaniel. "Hey, didn't we forget something?" I winked at him. I saw a bit of excitement in Skyler's eyes. Katherine also came over and transformed. She smiled at me, the same excitement in her eyes.

"Oh yeah." He smiled back and winked his eye. "It's time to visit your grandparents." The excitement disappeared from their faces. Skyler began to pout. "Come on guys, I can walk you over there." Nathaniel said.

"I'll get dressed." I said. I got up and examined my new tan. Just right. I gave Nathaniel a goodbye kiss and walked back into the house, Ericka also coming in with me.

(Nathaniel's POV)

I walked the kids over to the house. Mom had not moved since those five years. I looked at Skyler and saw his disappointed look. I knew what was going on his mind as well as Katherine's. They thought I forgot their birthdays. But, in truth, their surprise party was over at Mom's house. Landon, Michael, and Alexa were already over there, and Ericka was also going to be leaving the same time as Alicia. We arrived at the house and I knocked on the door. Mom answered, and she immediately gave me a hug. She gave a hug to the kids and motioned for us to come in. She had a recent thyroid surgery, so she couldn't speak. But I was able to communicate with her telepathically. Is everything ready?

I read her mind, and she said, 'Yes, everything's ready. It's so good to see you again.'

Same here. How did your surgery go?

'Good, very good. I can start speaking in a week, so it's all good.'

I smiled and hugged her again. We walked into the living room. The moment Skyler and Katherine came through the door, everyone who was hiding-my sisters, Landon, Alexa, Michael, and some of my cousins-jumped out and yelled, "SURPRISE!"

The smile returned to their faces, and they turned to me. "And you thought I forgot," I said to them with a smile on my own face. Mom came through the door with a blue and red cake. She sat it down on the counter and I saw the pattern. One half was blue with a red triangle, the other half was red with a blue triangle. I asked Mom to make this cake special. We sang the traditional birthday song and we went on to the cake. I decided not to have some yet. I instead decided to talk to some of my relatives.

I walked up to Krista, my younger sister. I gave her a taser from behind (basically put, pushed her pressure points on the hips). She gave a yelp and I laughed. She smacked me, but I kept laughing. "You always fall for that one."

I laughed a bit more and she replied, "And your still a loser." I stopped laughing.

"Shut up. Anyways, how are you and Steph?"

"She failed her first driver's test." I asked how. Apparently, after nearly failing the test, she backed up into her driving instructor's car. I suppressed a laugh as Stephanie came up to us. I asked her how her test went and she walked away. I let it out a bit and talked to some of my other cousins.

Wes, Ben, and John had grown several inches since I last saw them. They each gave me a hug and we talked for a while. They were also Pokemon players, so they asked why the cake was designed with Latios and Latias patterns. I smiled a bit and said that Skyler and Katherine wanted it to look like that. They nodded their heads in understanding and we went to get some cake. I got a piece from the Latios side, the triangle piece, and sat down next to Skyler and Katherine. I asked how they liked the party.

"Best one yet!" Skyler replied. Katherine nodded her head in agreement, her mouth full of cake. I took out two boxes from my pocket and handed one to Skyler, the other to Katherine. Alicia came in and sat down next to me. I gave her a kiss and we watched them open their gifts. They both got two things. The first was a personal Stat-Visor, a device made by Landon that showed the stats of Pokemon. Skyler had a blue one with red triangles, and Katherine (I'll call her Kat from now on) got a red one with blue triangles. I told them to use them later. I didn't want anyone to get too nosy. Their second gift was very special. They each got a locket-necklace. Skyler had one with a red triangle and blue background, and Kat had the reverse of his. They opened them and they saw both of their baby photos, one of their human form, the other of their Pokemon form. They smiled and gave each of us a hug. I helped Skyler with his, and Alicia helped Kat with hers.

Everyone sat down next to us, and they brought over the gifts. From Wes, Ben, and John, they both got a Pokemon game: X and Y, John's old games. They thanked them and set them aside. From Heidi and Bradley, Skyler got a watch and Alicia got a bracelet. They had hugged them both and put them on. From Landon, Ericka, Alexa, and Michael, they got plush Pokemon toys: Skyler a Latios, Kat a Latias. They hugged them and sat back down. From Mom, they each got a shirt.

'Typical Mom.' I thought to myself. They thanked her and tried them on. Perfect fits. Then, I noticed something on the coffee table. An envelope with two triangles: one red and one blue. I opened it and read it out loud:

"Congratulations! You have been awarded an all expenses paid trip to a vacation spot of your choice. You and six family members may go to any location you like, all expenses paid. When ready to activate, call number below." I didn't read who sent it. I showed it to Alicia. It said "Signed Arceus."

But, it was an all expenses paid trip, so I guess it was okay. Some asked who it was from.

"No return address."

That was the last of the presents, so we got up and socialized. I sat down still, holding Alicia's hand. Her head was on my shoulder, and I laid my head on hers. The guests started to leave and we said goodbye, thanking them for the gifts. I turned to Mom and said, "I guess we'll be going too."

She hugged me goodbye, and we walked out the door. I decided to discuss the card with them. Landon was surprised Arceus sent the card. But Skyler and Katherine wanted to go anyway. I agreed and said, "Since it's your birthday, you get to choose."

They talked it over and said, "Kanto." I stopped and asked what they meant.

"It says anywhere." Skyler said.

"And Arceus can do anything, right?" Kat continued on.

I guess so. I looked at the number and got out my cell phone dialing the number. After two rings, Arceus picked up. I put him on speaker.

"So, you got the card? Happy Birthday, Skyler and Katherine." They thanked him and asked him the same question about going to Kanto. "Oh, but of course. It said anywhere. I can teleport you there any time you want to."

They thought it over and said, "Now." Arceus clicked off, and appeared in front of us. He was using the powers of his Mind Plate, so he wasn't really there.

"Are you ready?" We all nodded in agreement. His eyes glowed, and Celebi appeared. "Hello, I'll be taking you to your destination. Kanto, correct?" I nodded because everyone else was standing around in awe. Celebi turned and opened a portal. "Please go through, and watch your step." We held hands, to make sure we didn't get separated.

And walked through the portal.

I felt like I was being sucked through a vacuum. I felt my body stretch and compress, moving through space and time. Then, I felt something odd. I looked at my hands. Once large and calloused, they were becoming smoother and smaller. We all yelled as the portal dumped us into Kanto.

"Uh... is everyone alright?" I thought I was hearing things. My voice sounded, higher. I stood up, and saw a two story house towering before me. I heard a bit of groaning form behind me and turned, hoping to see everyone was okay. But shock struck me as I realized what had happened.
