Alright, so this chapter we're finally getting into the real crossover. Before we begin however, I want to let you guys know that some of the parts of this chapter have been written by Rayduran, so if you see a different writing style… well, that's the reason. I've done my best to make it as similar to mine as possible so that there aren't any confusions. Just a heads up.

Anyways, enjoy!

Chapter 1

The Kaiser Family

The group of pokemon inside of the shed tried to move around, the whole totem of creatures shaking because of the movements of the pokémon at the base, which made the higher ones look down.

"Oi! Watch what you're doing down there, or else we're going to fall down!" Eric warned them, but the movement continued. The source of the whole problem was Emily, who was trying her hardest to get out from underneath Nox, and since she was at the very bottom of the structure, she was also the closest one to the entrance. However, their thought process was interrupted as they heard a strange voice inside of their minds.

"If you can hear me, do not move from where you are, please." The voice said.

The owner of the voice was an Espeon, who was in reality the pokémon that had teleported them to that shed, which was in reality where they kept all the games and toys. His voice sounded stern, but calm, and the team was surprised to hear his voice at first, all of them moving around, trying to find the source of the voice. These sudden movements however, where the last that were needed to make the tower fall. Elly fell through the gap between Zed and Jake and landed on Serge's side, to then slide off and hit the ground when Serge moved his wing so that he wouldn't feel as uncomfortable as before. The Eevee hit the bottom, letting out a growl of pain, whilst Emily, who thanks to all of that movement, managed to get out from underneath all of them, but found herself on the opposite side of the exit.

"Alright, but don't take too long, I'm starting to feel claustrophobic!" Elly responded. Just then, Nox tried to move around, but didn't notice Elly's paw and stomped on it, making the female pokémon howl out in pain. "Nox, what the hell are you doing?!" She screamed, the fire type instantly backing away.

"Sorry, I didn't want to hurt you." He apologized, feeling guilty for hitting her, but also skeptical, since he doubted he'd stomped on her paw that hard to warrant that kind of response.

"You better do! You almost broke my Arceus damned paw!" The Eevee shouted. The Espeon came out to the house's courtyard, where the toy shed was, and where he had teleported all of the pokémon that had showed up all of a sudden in the middle of the news broadcast. The shed wasn't really that big either, a meter and seventy centimeters of height and one meter wide in the shape of a square with a triangle shaped rooftop didn't leave too much space. The only window in the shed was closed, and although there was a wide enough entrance for pokemon and humans to come in and out easily, although most of the time crouching, if they had all gotten bunched up it would be hard to move around, especially with everything that was inside the house, such as the wardrobe where the toys were kept, the bedframe pushed right against the wall. It wasn't the first time that he had teleported something to him through live television, even with the delay, but it had been the first time he had done it with pokémon, and so many too. He calmly stepped towards the house and stopped halfway there, preferring to keep his distance and give them space… just in case.

"You may have noticed that the shed does not have a door, but you have that exit and I am standing just outside." The Espeon informed them. "Teleporting so many pokémon at the same time gives me a headache, so can you come out one by one or do you need help getting out of there?" He inquired, looking into the shed from far away, catching glances of a strange mess of fur of different colors, feathers, legs and wings, which to be honest he found slightly amusing.

The sound of pokémon and growling that came out of the shed ceased when Elly screamed out for them to stop moving so much. Emily began working her way around the totem, stepping on Elly's head and jumping off of her's to Nox' back, where she got stuck against the wall. She struggled to get out, but when she did she was launched forwards and through the exit, rolling around the ground and stopping on her back. Out of the corner of her eye she saw an Espeon, which looked radically different from any he had ever seen. He was mostly like the average Espeon: lilac coloured fur, tail ended in two separated tips, well built figure, however, his face had a more noticeable muzzle growing out of it, instead of the normal round, almost spherical shape, at the sides he has the accustomed tufts of fur, his eyes were light yellow and his gem, instead of red, was blue like a sapphire.

The Eevee smiled at him. "Hiya! My name is Emily, but my friends call me Em! Do you want to be my friend?" The Eevee asked him, her face beaming with excitement. Before the Espeon could say anything, however, more shouting was heard. Inside of the shed, the totem shook violently, Lucy toppling backwards and falling to the ground, then rolling out into the open.

She rubbed the back of her head, which hurt quite a lot. "Go to hell!" She shouted out loud, clearly angered with how she had to be the one to receive that blow. She then sat up and looked around, her emerald eyes landing on the Espeon's, who in response stared back.

"Watch out, incoming!" Nox shouted as he managed to get out from underneath the totem and rushed outside before he was shouted at by anyone, stopping right next to Emily and smiling at her. - Oh hey… Regarding all that happened in there… when and where?" He asked, a wide grin on his face, not paying attention to the psychic type pokemon.

Jake calmed down and realized he wouldn't have too many difficulties getting out of the shed now that both Lucy and Zed had left, the Zorua sneaking out along Lucy without anyone else noticing. The Sneasel jumped down and heard Nox's words as he stepped out. "You can not stop hitting on females even when we are in a completely unknown location Nox… Simply amazing. You can not be serious." His calm and almost monotonous voice echoed. "I plead you to let me and Elly do some psychological tests on you Nox. We must locate the source of your libido and neutralize it. For the sake of the world." He said, earning a groan from Nox.

Jake paced around, taking in all of his surroundings until he noticed the Espeon's presence, bowing. "Oh, I am sorry mister, I had not seen you until this very instant. My name is Jake, Jake the Sneasel." He presented himself whilst he performed the aforementioned reverence.

"You don't have to apologize." The Espeon said, smiling. However, inside of his mind he was crossing out the names of the pokémon and their species. So far, they were fitting perfectly. "I can't really blame you for not seeing me right off the bat, specially after that teleport." He finished, his voice relaxed as he waited for all of those that still had to get out.

Pokémon stopped coming out of the shed, and the electric feline sighed. "Alright, hold on a second… Zed! Get out here already, there's nothing to be worried about!" She shouted, although there was no response.

"Lucy… I came out of the shed with you." Zed said all of a sudden from behind everyone. The Zorua had sneaked past all of them without anyone noticing, and now he was there behind them. His voice scared everyone but the Shinx, who was used to him sneaking around all the time. He could somehow sneak past everyone whenever he wanted, even if he was completely visible at all times. If he didn't want you to see him, then you wouldn't see him. Not even the Espeon had seen him, his head snapping to look at the source of his voice, to then turn his attention to the shed again, not saying anything.

"I'm sorry hun… I didn't notice." Lucy said, nuzzling the Zorua, trying to apologize for shouting at him. Zed smiled and returned the affection with a nuzzle.

"Didn't take you too long didn't it?" Eric said as he came out of the shed, shaking the dust off of his arms. The Espeon's eyes glanced over to him, but more specifically to the marks and emblems on his right arm and the long blue scarf that waved in the air, reaching down to the back of his knees. "I'm glad to see that even though we're in a completely new place Nox is still harassing any females he sees and you two are just as sappy as always." He said with a huge grin on his face.

Jake sighed as Eric said this. "I just said that…" The ice type murmured

Lucy groaned and stopped nuzzling Zed to look at the Riolu. "Hardy har har. Look who's talking! You and Elly are clingier than us!" She responded, the Riolu raising his arms above his head as if he was being mugged.

"What did you just say about me?" Elly asked as she came out of the shed, her sky blue eyes looking straight into the Espeon's yellow eyes once his presence became obvious to her. The Eevee stood completely still, thoughts and emotions racing through her mind. The shape was nowhere close to her's, and the eyes were a painful reminder of just how different this psychic type was, but she was glad that there were no more similarities other than the species. All of the thinking was interrupted however, when the sound of something hitting wood echoed from behind them.

"Ah, shit!" Serge shouted as he bumped his head against the top frame of the entrance, falling to the floor and sitting down, rubbing his head with his wings whilst he groaned in pain, whispering profanities constantly.

"I should've considered picking another place… everything alright?" The Espeon asked, biting his tongue. The Pidgeot took some time to recover, and once he did, he began walking around groggily, swaying from one side to the other.

Nox smiled when he saw this. "I think he became even dumber!" He said, laughing out loud. Serge gave him a glance of annoyance and anger, mumbling something else before crouching down and exited the shed without any further problems.

"Are you absolutely sure you're ok?" The Espeon asked again.

"Eh? Eh yeah yeah, I'm ok. Thanks for asking though. Name's Serge, by the way." The flying type presented himself. "Serge the Pid-" He was cut short by the Espeon.

"I don't mean to be disrespectful Serge, but.. I think I've got a clue as to whom I've got in front of me. The problem is that… Simply… I just don't believe it." He said. He chuckled and mumbled. "Heh… first we get two humans from a world without pokémon, and now we get eight pokémon for a world without humans... It's a kind of funny." He mumbled to himself with a smile. After this, he turned his attention to the bigger Eevee, whose blue eyes were fixated upon his form again. "Do I have to ask?" He asked.

"Well… I don't know… If you know all of us here that is." She said, glancing at the Espeon, not really sure of what he had meant about knowing who they were. "But anyways… You're an Espeon with really powerful psychic powers. What's your name?" She asked him, forcing a smile on her face.

"Oh, apologies. I got caught up in this whole event I forgot to present myself…." He shook his head and chuckled at his forgiveness. "My name is Hadrim Espeon Kaiser." He did a small bow, then looked at Serge. "And, once again, I am sorry for interrupting you." He said, Serge shaking his wing, signaling that it wasn't that much of a big deal.

Just then, a familiar smell for the Espeon reached his nostrils, his nose twitching as he recognized the smell, smiling.

"Daddy!" The voice of an Eevee came from behind Hadrim, the Espeon preparing himself as a shiny Eevee jumped on his back, giggling madly. The voice was clearly feminine, so the Eevee was a female, Her silver fur had a darker tone than average, except on the mane of her neck and the tip of her tail which were the purest of whites one could see; her eyes were silverish in colour and by the size and her words, she was clearly still a young kit, nothing more out of the ordinary her appearance being finished by a sky blue bow with a white stone in the center, almost resembling the moon, on the base of her right ear.

"Hey Shade. Did you have a good time?" Hadrim asked the younger normal type, sitting down to make her slide off of his back with ease.

"Yep! We went to a ton of places! We went to... " She trailed off a she began mentioning different places, amongst the which were several clothing shops for both pokémon and humans, and more than one park. Shade was jumping around all the time, and didn't really notice the newcomers until she stopped talking.

"Shade, behave, we have guests." Hadrim said, motioning to the large group in front of them with his head. "Why don't you present yourself?" He suggested, the Eevee looking at the group, her face beaming, giving them a huge smile with her small fangs as she was excited to meet new pokémon.

"Hi! My name is Shade S. Eevee Kaiser! The "S" stands for shiny! Pleasure to meet you!" She greeted them with overwhelming excitement.

"Hello Shade, my name is Eric. And these are… - He pointed to the rest of his companions, giving them the cue to present themselves.

"My name is Elly. Pleasure's all mine!" The bigger Eevee followed her mate.

"I… Uh… I am Zed… Pleasure." The dark type said, stuttering because of his shyness.

"I am Lucy, the fastest pokemon alive!" The Shinx exclaimed, trying to convince the small naïve Eevee that she truly was the fastest pokemon alive.

Shade giggled. "You're funny, but I assure you you're not faster than Ren." Shade reassured her, lightly wounding the Shinx's pride, who looked at her with her mouth wide open, about to ask who this Ren was, and where she could find him or her.

"Hey, that's my job Lucy! I'm supposed to be the one who boasts all the time! By the way, my name is Nox. Tell me… Do you have a boyfriend?" He asked, giving the Eevee a really weird look. Nox received a massive blow to the back of his head in response, bashing his head on the ground.

"Watch what you say Houndour. She is ten years old." Hadrim hissed, his voice stern and serious, his tail shaking whilst the tips twisted around. Nox groaned and mumbled something as he got up, shaking his head whilst having to endure hearing the laughter of his friends.

"I think you and Hadrim are going to get along just fine." Eric joked, making Nox groaned again.

"My name… Is Jake. Jake the Sneasel, at your service, miss Shade." The ice type bowed once again.

"Name's Serge, and I live and breathe to write and fly!" The Pidgeot posed heroically as he said this, a wing on his chest.

"And my name is Emily! So you're ten years old! That's funny, I'm only thirteen! We're almost the same age! Do you want to be friends?" The small Eevee chirped, really excited. Eric looked at her smiled, rolling his eyes, then coughed as he cleared his throat.

"Alright well… All of us together, with the exception of Emily, are members of a famous Exploration Team known world wide. We are… Team Star, as we're known from where we come from." Eric explained, not really sure if he wanted to say that they came from a whole different world, instead opting to say that they came from really far away.

"Wow, that's funny!" Shade said, giggling, the name of the team ringing a few bells. Everyone looked at her, confused. "Great name!" She added, nobody really sure if she was saying it for real or if she was being ironic.

"Nox… Was it?" Another voice asked. Everyone looked behind Hadrim to see another Eevee, this one with brown fur with cream, almost yellow mane and tail tip, his eyes where chestnut brown, he had a kerchief around his neck, striped with green and dark blue lines and was a little taller than his shiny sister; appearing from the house. "Name's Radius Eevee Kaiser." He quickly said, turning his attention to the fire type. "And Nox… I'd seriously watch your mouth if you want to hit on another Eevee that lives with us, specially if her brother is there with her."

Meanwhile, inside of the house a Zoroark carrying bags of groceries looked out the window as he walked into the kitchen, becoming distracted and stubbing his toe on one of the legs of the table, howling out in pain and slamming the bags on the aforementioned table and grabbing his foot, jumping around and holding in screams and swears.

Nox huffed. "Alright alright, jeez. Anyways… can we make the one million poke question now?" Nox said.

"What's on your mind?" Hadrim asked, turning to look at them.

"Where are we?" He inquired, a nervous smile appearing on Hadrim's face.

"That's a hard one, especially if we take into consideration that you're not in your world anymore…" The Espeon's ears lowering because of how nervous he was. "But if you still want to know, this is the Kaiser Household, in Linde Town, Kirol Island, in the Narel Islands Region." The Espeon informed them.

"Wait… How do you know that we came from another world?" Eric asked, now slightly alarmed. "Did you read our minds or something like that?" The Riolu followed.

"No." Hadrim firmly stated. "I don't read minds without permission, Eric. It was simply a hutch, which you just confirmed by the way. Also, I haven't heard of a team with your name, and you say that you're known all around the world. So you're either from another world or you boast more than your Houndour friend over there." Hadrim said, pointing at the Houndour with his tail, laughing lightly.

"Oi!" Nox complained, looking at the Espeon, a little angry.

"You can' deny it dude. You'd be hitting on rocks if you could." Serge joked, making everyone laugh.

"Well… anyways, it appears that we are in another world, yes. Again." He said, reminding everyone of their previous interdimensional trip. "Although… I have to say this world looks hell of a lot nicer than the other one already." Eric pointed out.

"Most certain. I deduce, based on our environment and our temporary patrons, that this world does not differ much from ours, at least at first sight that is. I still need to confirm my theories and suspicions… Are there any libraries in the vicinity where I can corroborate my suspicions, mister Hadrim?" Jake asked in a very formal tone of voice.

"Hey now, relax. You can call me Hadrim, not mister. You make me feel old and I'm only twenty-seven." Hadrim laughed. "You don't have to be so formal. And regarding your question… there's a library in town… and I think we've got some history books at home." He added later.

"My most sincere apologies if I offended you Hadrim. If you do not want me to speak so formally, I will speak in a more casual manner like I am right now. Does this please you?" Jake asked, doubtful on how Hadrim wanted him to talk.

"Hey Had! Are those new guests?" A voice called from the top floor of the house before the Espeon could respond to Jake's doubts.

"Probably so, Ichiro." Hadrim responded sending a message to everyone in courtyard and the human, who leaned out of his room from the window and smiled at the pokémon down there, waving at them with a hand. The human's skin was slightly tanned, his hair was silver colored and he was wearing something dark green over his chest, his eye colour was amiss from that distance for the pokémon but they were of deep red, like rubies.

"Welcome then, you're at your own home!" The human greeted them, to then return inside.

"That's Ichiro." Shade said, smiling. "He's the biggest cub out of all of us." She added.

"And you could consider him to be our big brother." Radius commented after his sister. However, everyone was still shocked.

"Cub?! That's a human!" Elly screamed, once again surprised at this turn of events.

"Yeah. what's with it?" Shade asked, her smile disappearing and leaning her head in confusion.

"There aren't humans in your world?" Radius asked.

"I think Elly's face is a dead giveaway... So you should deduce the answer to that question quite easily, right?" Eric pointed out. To be honest, he was also surprised to see humans in that world, but most of the shock had vanished just a few minutes ago, when they had been surrounded by a lot of humans at the same time. He also hoped that they were nothing like the only human they had met in the past… but he was pretty sure that he was an exception, rather than the norm. He told them exactly that, but the Eevee siblings just shrugged.

"Well.. I hope the surprise factor disappears after a while…" Rad said with a smile. However, Nox was still geeking out about Ichiro.

"OH ARCEUS A HUMAN! A HUMAN! Tell me, how many monsters has he killed?! What powers does he have?!" Nox began asking questions non-stop, making everyone dizzy.

"Nox… Nox please stop, you're making my head hurt." He said, sighing. "Teleporting you guys here plus all of the translating you're making me do is making my head spin. Normally humans do not understand poke speech, and need a pokémon to translate for them, be it by aura link or telepathy, or buy a translator, but those are worth way too much poke for us to even consider that… Also, although it is possible for there to be humans with special capabilities, it is rather strange, and those who do have them are often considered as monsters by other humans." Hadrim explained, Nox becoming disheartened.

"Or other living creatures in his case…" Eric mumbled, low enough so that only Elly heard her.

"But… I thought…" Nox was about to complain, but a stern look from the rest of his friends told him that it was best to just drop the argument. "Fine… forget I ever said anything…" He bitterly answered, frustrated and angered.

Whilst this was happening, the Zoroark had recovered from stubbing his toe and helped a woman and a Lucario put all they had bought in it's proper place. Whilst this was happening, through Ichiro's window, an Eevee was leaning out the window and looking at the pokemon at the courtyard. She didn't feel like going down there, especially considering what day it was. Her brother was lucky enough that he had found something to do so he could keep his mind off the issue. However… she hadn't been able to get it out of her own, and wasn't even slightly curious to figure out who those pokémon were.

Hadrim looked up and saw the Eevee, who quickly retreated back inside and out of sight. He sighed. "Can I ask you something?" He used telepathy to leave out someone from their group.

"Of course." Eric responded. His quick response surprised Hadrim, the Espeon just then realizing that the Riolu was used to psychic conversations. He didn't ask how and why however, since he guessed it just wasn't the best time for those types of questions.

"There are two more pokémon living with us, you'll meet them later, they're Natalie and Dark. They're siblings, so they'll tell you their story whenever they feel like it… Alright, the thing is… If Nox is like this with all the females, please keep him from saying anything when he meets Natalie. Normally, nothing would happen because of those types of comments, but today they are… really depressed for some reason they don't want to tell us and… well, let's just say things could become really tense." He told them through telepathy. The Espeon then said out loud that they would meet Dark and Natalie soon, and that if they were rude they didn't hold it against them for too long, seeing as they were having a bad day.

"Well… you heard Radius Nox!" Serge chirped, looking at the fire type. "Can you survive without harassing all the females you run into for a couple of days?" The Pidgeot asked, a huge grin on his face. Nox responded with a huff and giving the flying type a look that said "Wipe that big shit eating grin off your face, you bastard!".

"Alright, I'll try my hardest..." He looked at Emily, licking his lips and smiling. "Heh… She's only two years younger than me. She's ok, right? It's not creepy or anything…" He asked the feathery pokémon, who merely shrugged in response. "Bah! It doesn't matter… I'm going to focus all my advances on trying to seduce her!" He exclaimed, running up towards where Emily was and started talking with her. Serge chuckled as he saw this.

"This kid's got some guts… at this rate, the pupil will surpass the master!" He began laughing as he joined the group again.

"Well, if you come with me, we'll go inside and meet the rest." Hadrim said with a smile on his face, turning around and heading back inside to the house, Radius and Shade smiling to their guests before following their father back into the house.

"With pleasure!" Elly responded to Hadrim's offer, everyone moving behind the family of eeveelutions. Elly walked up to her mate. "You know… They seem like really nice people." The Eevee whispered. The Riolu answered with a nod, but kept a serious look on his face.

"True, but we still don't know what their true intentions are. Keep your eyes open Elly, because our arrival to this world couldn't have been any bumpier." The Riolu reminded her. He was really worried, but he didn't let it show. However, Elly knew him very well, and she could tell that he was tense, although she opted to not say anything, as she could guess what the origin of his worries were. And if was the way she thought, it probably didn't have anything to do with neither the Kaiser family nor with their hospitality.

Lucy dashed ahead and looked into the kitchen, her eyes widening like plates. The room was big, there was a small table near a window with four chairs around it, a large counter placed on top of stands at floor level covering two walls of the room, in between two doors, one was open and the Shinx could see another room from there, while the other was closed. Aside from that she could see even more stands on top of the lower ones, on the side she could see something made of metal curving forwards over something she could not see, and on the opposite side she could see a big cauldron on top of a black electric oven. The stands seemed to be made of pine wood while the counter was white marble. And to finish she could see two big wood doors right besides the counter and the open door, which were bigger, a faint buzzing noise coming from it.

"Woooooow! Zed come check this out!" She called for the Zorua, who walked into the kitchen shortly after and walking around, his jaw dropping to the floor. "It's huge! I wish we had one like this back at home, you'd probably have a blast whilst cooking!" The Shinx read the dark-type's mind, knowing him to well. Everything was so new and mysterious, the black fox felt as if he was having an adventure and wandering into parts where no one had ever wandered into before. He could see lights, metallic contraptions and all sorts of gizmos that he had no idea how they worked.

"Hey, thanks!" A female's voice echoed from the kitchen's entrance. Over there they saw a Lucario leaning on the doorframe whilst she observed as the two curious pokémon look around. She wasn't that different from the other Lucario they knew, although her blue fur was a lighter tone, the cream colored fur had a more blueish shine and the black fur was deeper on it and her eyes were an icy blue colour. "It's hard to keep it clean, specially when I get really inspired to cook." She then looked at the Zorua. "If you like cooking, then you may want to consider exchanging recipes? By the way, my name is Luca Lucario Kaiser." She said with a motherly smile on her face.

"Eeeeh…. Sure we can do that… later, but… Where's the fire? And the oven?" Zed asked, confused as he found those strange metallic artifacts instead of those essential kitchen parts. Luca smiled as he said this.

"I'll show you. Here, come over and climb onto the countertop." She said, the Lucario approaching the cooktop. "It's a little different than what you're used to, since you just asked me for the fire." She said whilst she waited for the Zorua to come closer so she showed him the kitchen. However, the Zorua stood where he was, shaking. He wasn't sure on how all of that worked and… he was honestly scared. He closed his eyes and turned around and ran out to the courtyard again, leaving a dumbfounded Shinx and Lucario in the kitchen. Lucy got visibly angry, heading after him.

"Zed! Get back here this instant! You don't do that, it's rude!" She screamed, really angry. Meanwhile, Luca chuckled and waited patiently for the shy Zorua, leaning against the countertop near the cooktop. Lucy came back moments later, pushing the shy black fox, who was looking at the ground, really ashamed. He wasn't used to getting this much attention, especially from people he didn't know. He just couldn't handle it well. He finally took the initiative and approached.

"My uh…. My name is Zed. Nice to meet you, miss…" The poor thing couldn't stop shaking and stuttering, and he was fully aware that he was making a bad first impression, or at least he thought so.

"Pleasure's all mine Zed. And don't worry, you don't have to be so formal. Anyways,,,, are you going to jump up?" She asked, looking at the cooktop but still waiting. Zed nodded and started climbing, first jumping onto a chair, then onto the table and from there to the countertop. However, as he jumped he landed on the very edge of the kitchen sink, and because it was wet, he howled out as he slipped inside and fell in the water, popping back out almost immediately, shaking like a leaf. He ended up getting soaked in the water where Luca had been cleaning all the vegetables for lunch. Lucy began giggling, holding in her laughter, whilst Luca's ears lowered and bit down on her tongue, finding the whole situation… awkward. More for the poor Zorua that just got an unexpected bath in front of a stranger. The Lucario knew that if she approached she would probably make things worse, but Lucy would probably be able to help him dry up. The fighting type didn't say anything though, fearing that if she said anything Zed would just run away again, red as a tomato.

"He he he… You're so clumsy Zed." The Shinx said, approaching the chair and climbing up herself whilst Zed eyed her.

"Don't say those things Lucy… Sorry about the vegetables Luca, but I didn't know there was… a bucket there?" He asked, not really sure of how to describe what he had just fallen into.

"It's ok. Besides, it's not the veggies I'm worried about. It was kinda my fault too, since I didn't notice were you were going to land early enough to warn you before time." She said, blushing a bit herself to then approach and grab a towel from the cupboard near the sink and handed it over to them. "Here, dry up." She left the towel right next to them, then turned around to give them some space whilst grabbing the cooking pot, pushing it closer to the cooktop. Zed appreciated the Lucario's gesture, crouching down and slipping under the towel, so when he stood up he was completely enveloped by it, head and all. Lucy saw him and smiled once again whilst the duo were still sitting on the kitchen top. She moved the towel from covering his ears and eyes and began helping him dry.

"You know… I thought you were old enough to know how to dry yourself all alone…" She whispered into his ear, blowing into it, making him shiver. He looked at her, blushing madly, the Shinx chuckling. A few minutes later Zed was completely dried up, but… his hairstyle looked radically different. He was now something more akin to a ball of black pointy fur than a fox. "Well… We'll fix it later, but until then, just tell everyone I zapped you." She said,

"But… you haven't even…" Before he could finish however, the Shinx got really close to him, both her fur and the Zorua's cracking as electricity coursed from her to him, making the Zorua yelp in surprise, his fur becoming even more straight. Lucy smiled and gave him a kiss on the cheek in compensation.

Once all this was over, Luca looked at the cooktop again and rose a paw, lowering it on top of a drawing that was made out of a circle missing a small section, which instead had a vertical line that went through it, the drawing being white coloured, to contrast with the black material of the cooktop. A beep was heard, and four lights started blinking alongside more drawings that appeared around the edges. "In contrast to kitchens that use fire to cook, this one uses electricity to create heat. You have to turn it one though." She said, pointing at the button she had just pressed. "You don't have to be afraid, but don't hold your paw on it. You just have to tap it." The Lucario said, pushing the drawing again and turning it off. "The four lights you saw tell you that it's turned on, and they correspond to each of the rings." She said, pointing at the four rings spread out across the surface, the top two being bigger than the lower ones. "I know you're not this dense, you learn by doing." She said, encouraging the Zorua to turn it on by himself.

Zed approached the machine, a little fearful, and lightly tapped the symbol Luca had told him to. The cooktop made another sound, and the Zorua backed off because of instinct, but once he saw that everything worked the way the Lucario had described to him, a wide smile appeared on his face, really happy that he was finally learning how this whole process went. He showed this grin to Luca and Lucy.

"You know what? You're going to help me make lunch." The Lucario decided. "That way, I can teach you everything and you can practice at the same time." She proposed, Zed nodding enthusiastically.

Lucy got down from the kitchen top. "Well… I'll stick around then and chat with you guys while you cook." The electric type said as she descended from the countertop and got on a chair, sitting on it and watching how her mate and the Lucario cooked a meal.

Meanwhile, in the living room things had finally returned to their normal state. At that very moment they were showing a documentary about the attack on the pokéball factory from last night. "As you can see…" The reporter began." The door is in a perfect state, but the lock has been cut in half cleanly. The smoothness of the cut has made the police believe that the culprit may have had a psychic pokemon with them or may be a psychic pokemon themselves. Inside of the factory not much was found…" The reporter trailed off whilst the camera zoomed in on the lock. Needless to say, it was cut in half, like she said.

A man was sitting on the couch, watching the television whilst Hadrim entered the room, using his psychic powers to pick up the book he had left on the couch moments ago to then pick it up with his tail whilst he explained to the newcomers what that room was. It was a big room, since it was both the living and dining room. The dining area was just a big table with fifteen chairs around it and space enough to add another two if needed, the table and chairs being of oak wood, polished and varnished to the point of giving it a nice view as both a decoration and a useful piece of furniture. The chairs had a cushion each since it was all wooden but they had added the cushion for comfort, tying it to the backs of the chair which consisted of an arc with three branches coming from the base of the back, up to the arc. the cushion being furnished with a white cover so it was easier to clean. Over the table was a huge ceiling lamp with a design that consisted of eight ramifications in which tips where the light bulbs for dinner or days with low light from the outside. The other part of the room, the living room, which consisted of a three person couch in the middle over a red furry carpet of fake purple fur and two armchairs on both sides of the couch, all pointing towards the wall where a fifty inch television was hanging from the wall, with the Twenty-four Hours News Channel on display at that very moment. Around the tv was a big, open cabinet. A piece of furniture that consisted of various shelves, the central one being the television cabinet with two doors to cover the thing. Around that, where other shelves with some family photos and others with some glass figures, that on the upper ones, the lower ones had two closed doors that hid what was inside since it wasn't being used. The big piece of furniture was carved out of darkwood, and the doors where white to make a contrast with the rest of the piece. Illuminating the whole living room, if it was time to have the lights on, were four lights inside the ceiling, the lights being little bulbs with enough intensity between the four to illuminate the whole room, the switch for these turning out to be something akin to a wheel that regulated the intensity of the lights, rather than an "off" and "on" switch. The walls of the entire room were decorated with various paintings mixed in with family photos of the whole Kaiser family, which consisted of three humans and five pokémon, which showed up in most of the photos. Some photos were also close-ups of certain members of the family, which only showed their faces, and there were even couple photos. One of the later that stood out was one which featured Luca and Hadrim. In this one the Lucario had picked up the Espeon bridal style while he was holding a berry branch of Leppa berries, her favorites. This one made the Espeon blush intensely when he saw it, and hoped for none of the new guests to even glance at that one; and others had three pokemon on it, the three being cubs, while others had these three pokémon and one human cub and others only the human cub.

"That's Daniel Kaiser." Hadrim said, moving his head towards the human looking at the strange apparatus that was showing images. He smiled as he noticed that the human wasn't paying any attention to what was going on behind him. "It seems that he won't pay attention to anyone else right now, he's way too focused on watching the news right now." He commented.

"You don't say." A voice said. From the other side of the couch a Vulpix rose, approaching the group. "Hi, my name's Luna Vulpix." She said. She was a Vulpix of relatively small size, her fur was orange, but the tone was similar to that of copper, with her underbelly being white, and her six curly tails, the curl on her forehead and the fur around her paws was slightly golden, her eyes a deep vibrant crimson, reminiscent of the color of rubies.

Eric, Elly, Jake, Serge, Emily and Nox were accompanying Hadrim, all of them telling the Vulpix their names. Nox took a step forward, everyone rolling their eyes and sighing, with the exception of Serge, who wanted to see what the fire type would do.

"Hey there, good looking… You and I have something in common, you know? We're both fire types… so why don't we let our burning passion take over for the night?" He asked, giving her the best handsome smile he could do. Luna just stood still, glancing at Nox, making it look as if she was interested by what she saw.

"Well… you're certainly good looking…" She said with a smile, inching towards him, her voice getting a bit more sensual. "And that eye colour is certainly rare on a fire type…" She added, inching ever so closer to the Houndour until their heads were at the same level. A huge grin manifested itself on Nox's face, the Houndour really excited to see what would happen next, though he was getting ahead of himself, curving his lips and closing his eyes, expecting a kiss from the fire type in front of him…

"But no matter how handsome you are, I do not intend on throwing myself at your feet at first sight!" She exclaimed, her smile disappearing. When Nox opened his eyes he saw a paw flying towards his face, hitting him square on the left cheek and making him spin like a spinning top. "And that's for treating me like a slut!" She shouted, clearly angry. When this happened, Hadrim's jaw dropped to the floor. He didn't have anything to say, and if he did, he would most likely not open his mouth, but it was the first time he had seen Luna act that way.

Serge saw how the whole scene transpired, everyone wincing and cringing as Nox received the biggest slap of his life, and once he stopped spinning, dropping to the floor about to puke, the Pidgeot roared with laughter. "OOOooooh! You just got REJECTED!" He cheered, his comment making the other laugh, with the exception of Nox, who was rubbing his left cheek, trying to recover from not only the blow to his face, but also the blow to his pride. He faced Luna and smiled.

"You just wait… You'll see how you will end up knowing every single part of The Great Nox!" He shouted at the top of his lungs, Eric taking a step forward and holding the fire type's muzzle shut with a paw.

"Sorry for that. Nox can be a little… well… peculiar." The Riolu apologized, giving Nox a look that basically said "Shut the hell up before you fuck up again.". Eric was really expressive with his looks, and Nox caught the message instantly.

"Hey, it's ok. I've seen worse, really. There are some pokémon out there that will go to the extent of licking themselves just so they can pin down a female in heat." She said all of a sudden. Everyone, aside from three pokemon in the room, looked at her with eyes wide as plates.

"What was the heck what was the what the what?" Radius asked, REALLY confused as he didn't get a single world Luna just said.

"Luna, control yourself please." Hadrim told her when he heard his own cub asking about that.

"Whooops!" She gave them a sheepish smile. "I didn't say anything… Oh, by the way… Hadrim, have you seen Dark? He dropped his medicine and hasn't noticed yet." She said, grabbing a small black pill bottle and showing it to the Espeon.

"I think he's in the garage right now. If he doesn't respond when you call go up and leave it in his room." He told her. The Vulpix answered with a nod, turning around and heading towards the kitchen, where the garage door was. After that, Hadrim guided the group through the house and took them to the main hallway, telling them what it was and informing them that later he would show them a room where they could hang out and relax, then continued further down the hallway and stopped in front of two doors. He told them that the room to the left was the bathroom. He then pointed at the door to the right.

"This is my room and my mate's, so please wait here." He said, then looked at Jake. "Not you Jake. Come with me for a second." He said, the Sneasel walking in after him. Once inside, Hadrim turned on the lights pressing a switch on the floor, right next to the door, and walked over to a bookshelf, which was located at the other side of the room, directly in front of the entrance. Jake saw various books with different types of covers, from plain covers without anything on them to more intricate designs. He caught sight of a certain book which was made out of black velvet, with golden letters that Jake couldn't understand. Hadrim placed the book he was carrying in it's proper spot and looked for one of the many history books that they had from the time when Ichiro went to elementary school and had to do some assignments that required extra books. Some of the titles had different letters altogether, which differentiated the books written in human language and the books written in poke speech.

"Can you understand any of the titles" Hadrim asked the Sneasel as he handed him title after title written in human language, which meant that the ice type didn't understand anything. Whilst he waited for Jake to finish flipping through them, Hadrim grabbed a random enciclopedia and opened it at a random page, giving it to the Sneasel to try and understand too.

"Nothing. I am afraid I cannot understand any of these books. It seems like your tongue is much more different that ours, and I am unable to translate anything of what you've placed before me." Jake answered in a humble way, giving back all of the books. Before Jake could give the book to Hadrim however, Elly walked into the room and asked Jake to give her the book. Hadrim shrugged and Jake placed it on the floor so that Elly could read.

"Hmm… I've seen this writing before in really ancient books… It's human speech." She pointed out the obvious, Jake glaring at her. She looked up, annoyed. "Oh don't give me that look Jake, you know I love history! And besides, I don't understand much anyways." She said, pushing it towards them

"Well… if neither of you two can understand what it says, then I don't think we should try either." Eric said, crossing his arms behind his head, a huge smile on his face. Elly glanced at him from the corner of her eye.

"I'll find a way to keep you reading Eric, that I assure you." She told him, the Riolu sighing in exasperation.

"I may be able to help you with that if you want… The only problem is that… it's a little personal, but I could share with you my experience and knowledge of the human language. Memories, learning experiences. Practice even." The Espeon offered. However, everyone declined the offer.

"We don't want to bother you too much Hadrim. I think me and Jake can learn human if we really put our heads to it." Elly said, not really wanting to be anymore in debt with the Espeon.

"Well, it wouldn't have bothered me much anyways, Elly, but if you want a teacher anyways, Ichiro is pretty good at it. In fact, he is the one who taught all of us." Hadrim explained with a smile "And there's a couple of books too. They are numbered and that's the first one. I've also got books written in pokespeech, but they're mostly fantasy." Hadrim commented.

Eric fell to his knees as soon as Hadrim mentioned the novels. "Nooooooooooooo!" He shouted, much to Elly's irritation.

"Stop whining already! Try it out and you'll learn to love it in the end! The only thing you need is to find a book that grabs your attention." She said, really angry with Eric, since they were always having this kind of discussion.

"The only book that hooked me was the one with the mystery murders in the mansion and the detectives… and I don't know when but either you or Jake said something about "It's always the butler!" or something, and guess what? It turned out that the culprit was the butler!" The Riolu complained, both Elly and Jake biting down on their tongues.

"Alright, that's just wrong. You don't do that to someone who is reading a book, it just ruins the experience altogether." Hadrim scolded them. "But… I seriously doubt you'll know the story of any of these… let's see…" He looked at the bookshelf, eyeing the book with the black cover, but opted to pick up one that was two books to the right. "If you manage to convince him, he may like this one." He said, picking up the book and showing it to the Eevee. The title's letters were much more different than the previous ones, and she could actually read them this time around. Jake grabbed the book for her. "But enough talk. Let's go upstairs and show you the guest room so you can relax for a while before lunch." He said, smiling to then lead them to the stairs and then up.

He pointed them to their room whilst informing them to whom the other rooms belonged to, then opened the door of their room for them with his tail.

"Get comfy." He offered, letting them in. "Well, this is when I leave you alone. I haven't showed you the basement, but it's basically both another living room and can act as another guest room. I'll tell you whenever lunch is prepared." He said, leaving the the group inside of the room, then headed back all the way down to his room, where he fell on the bed. "Ow… my head hurts." He said, closing his eyes and burying his nuzzle underneath Luca's pillow. "Hmm… Wonder what you have on your mind about those vegetables for today…" He wondered to himself as he fell asleep.

Eric and the rest looked at the room. It wasn't big, and that going to be an issue. "Wait… We're all going to have to sleep together in the same room?!" Elly asked, alarmed by this fact Jake was the only one who nodded.

"I'm afraid so… And with that attitude, I'm afraid the next few days will be difficult, especially with Nox. He's a constant heat source, since he is a fire type pokemon." Jake pointed out, although he already wasn't too happy with the idea of having to share a room with everyone.

"Well… It's not really that much of a problem for me." Serge said, looking at the room from side to side. There wasn't really anything notable to honest. A wardrobe to the left of the entrance, a window with the curtains closed, a desk that didn't have anything on it and to the right of them he could see a bed with a mattress, and right next to it, he saw a chest where he guessed they kept things like sheets or pillows. But his attention was focused on the bed. "It cannot be.. it's a mattress!" Serge exclaimed all of a sudden, walking over to the piece of furniture, although more interested on what was on it.

"That's the bed?" Elly asked, the flying type answering with a nod. "That doesn't look like anything we have back home…" She said, approaching the bed, everyone following her example.

"That's because those are normal beds, but… These things are a luxury where we come from. I had only seen two of them during my travels, and only those who were filthy rich have them… this is the mattress, and the one's I had seen were made out of feathers or wool. I don't know what this one's made out of though…" He said as he laid on the bed, letting out a sigh of relief. "Ooooooh… Just as good as I remembered it!" The bird exclaimed, which sparked envy in the rest of his companions.

"Hey, I wanna try it too!" Nox shouted as he ran up to it and jumped on top, his landing making the whole bed shake, but feeling the softness almost immediately. "Wooowww… It's so fluffy and comfy! And it doesn't jab at you like straw! This must be what it feels to be sleeping in the clouds…" Nox said, turning around on his back, closing his eyes and relaxing, aiming to rest for a while.

"Well… technically that statement is incorrect, Nox. One can not lay on clouds, as they are not solid and you would fall straight to the ground, probably resulting in serious injuries to your body or…" Nox rose a paw and began spinning it around.

"Yeah yeah yeah… Just shut up and lay down will ya? Then you can judge." The Houndour invited Jake to lay down, the Sneasel placing a hand on the mattress, pushing down and making sure that it was comfy…

"Arceus… this is soft… I can feel as if my hand is sinking slowly…" He turned around and got on the bed, laying down and waiting for an instant."There is a high chance that these types of beds are beneficial for back problems… We should acquire beds like these immediately after coming back." He suggested, Eric and Elly considering it, as long as they got to try it out and the price wasn't too high. Meanwhile, Emily took her chance to leap onto the bed, giggling like a cub because of how comfy it was. Eric and Elly got close to the bed to try and fit, but Serge was sprawled on the mattress and took up more than half of the space

"Hey Serge, can you let us on?" Elly asked politely, but got no response from the bird. Eric stepped.

"Serge, let us lay down and try it out, come on." The Riolu repeated the same message. Serge knew that Eric would eventually force him to get up one way or the other, so decided to just sit up, leaning against the wall and give the two pokémon some space. They both laid down on the bed, right next to eachother.

"Wow… This is really comfy actually…" He said as he felt how he sank in little by little. Elly rubbed herself up against him, finally getting some rest after all that had happened earlier that day. The Eevee closed her eyes and placed her head right against the fighting type's chest. She listened to his heartbeat, which helped her relax whilst Eric wrapped his arm around her, laying on his side and hugging the Eevee, gently caressing the back of her head and her ears. After what had happened, everyone needed to relax a little, and if Elly wanted to take a nap, he didn't have any problem with it.

"Welp… Here we are people… In a completely different world and about to sleep in the house of some complete strangers…" He said, low enough so that he didn't disturb Elly as she tried to fall asleep.

"Well… they seem like nice people to me, I don't know… I think we can trust them." Nox said, expressing his opinion on the Kaiser family.

"It's not that I don't trust them, it's just that they've let us stay in their house without us even asking and I have no idea on how to repay them. To be honest, we needed someplace to stay and rest after what happened in that cave." Eric said, looking at Elly, knowing that if it wasn't for her they probably wouldn't have gotten there in one piece.

"Speaking of that… Does anyone know who that guy was? Bastard almost killed us without breaking a sweat." Serge reminded them, Jake nodding in agreement.

"True.. His abilities were much faster and powerful than ours, and he was extremely precise when it came to attacking. I have a couple of theories on him, although the one that makes the most sense to me is that he is an assassin that has been hired to kill us. If this is the case, what we should really be wondering is who hired him." He said, then began explaining all of his theories on the issue, mentioning virtually anyone who either wanted them dead or that could straight up try to kill them.

"Hey.. now that you mention it… What if it turns out that we've put some many criminals in jail that a super criminal organization wants to kill us so that we stop saving pokémon?!" Nox asked out loud, earning himself a long and soft "Hush" from Eric.

"You should try and write with all of that imagination, Nox." Serge joked, the Houndour glaring at him. Jake however, weighted the fire type's words.

"Well… now that you are mentioning it… the theory of the super criminal group does not sound too farfetched. After all, we're a team that's known all over the world. If we were able to destroy Team Uncario, then by pure logical deduction we should be able to defeat anything that is thrown our way. In other words… by defeating Uncario and getting them out of the picture, we may have attracted some unwanted attention… Similar to when Nox starts harassing a female. It's that bad." Jake said, smirking.

"Hey! That was uncalled for!" Nox exclaimed, Serge laughing lightly, convinced to do so by the murderous glare Eric sent his way. Emily giggled, the Houndour dropping the argument and relaxing alongside the other six pokémon, which were all somehow lying on bed. After a few minutes everyone closed their eyes to sleep, except for Emily, who after five minutes jumped down the bed, bored to death and prepared to head out of the room. However, just she was about to do so, she heard something, standing completely still, her ears standing straight.

She heard steps approaching and claws striking the floor. The sound became louder as someone walked up the stairs slowly, to then walk down the hallway. The steps got closer and closer, until it got to the point where they were at the other side of the door. There was a moment of silence until the sound of a nearby door opening. In the middle of the hallway there was a Zoroark, which looked rather sad, his fur dirty and covered in some kind of black liquid, which was hard to see because of the already black Zoroark's fur. He stopped right before going into his room, smelling the air. "So they ended up staying, eh? Well… they're welcome, I guess." He thought to himself before going into the room and closing the door behind him, only to sit on the floor, leaning against the door. The Zoroark was tall but smaller than Serge by a head at least, his fur was dark grey on most of his body, the fur on his chest and upper back was pitch black, his eyes, as anyone with heterochromia, where two colored, one was a cyan blue while the other was cobalt blue, being very similar between each other but the difference still visible, he has a long mane, which reaches almost to the floor when he's standing, held in a ponytail by a garnet orange and solid hard scrunchie. The colour of the mane as well as some spots on his face, like the corners of his lips and his upper eyelids, were crimson red, as well as the fur at the tip of his digits and the inside of his ears. He had both his upper paws covered in bandages from the digits up to the middle of the forearms, a painful reminder for him of a certain event months back, but that he had chosen to keep, the bandages were torn and old but he kept them as clean as he could as to avoid them smelling. To finish, his mane had a lot of black spots and stripes adorning it.

"What a day, eh?" An Eevee asked once the Zoroark went inside. She had chestnut brown fur with cream mane and tail tip, she was very young as well, hence her smaller size compared to Radius or Shade, and other difference was the vibrant green of her eyes, remainder of the shine of emeralds bathing in the twilight.

"Helping Clara and Luca, new pokémon in the house, a little bit of manual work…" Dark numbered, nodding. "Yep, it was a good day." He said. The twins were acting weird to say the least, Natalie wasn't killing time with any books, she was just lying under the window of the room. On the other hand, Dark wasn't really in the mood to practice his illusions either.

"How many?" The dark typed asked soon. "Forty five?"

"Forty four." The Eevee responded, correcting the Zoroark's mistake. Once again, they fell silent. Natalie couldn't hold in her sobs any longer. She went into the room and went towards that, sticking to her brother, who picked her up in his arms and hugged her, their eyes teary. "I miss them so much…" She said between sobs.

"Me too…" He answered, his voice cracking as he tried to steel himself, but it was useless and ended up crying in silence with her, hugging her even more tightly against his chest. "Me too." He repeated, enveloping his sister in his grasp.


Some other place at the other side of the region…

Silenced hung over the air of the forest. Not even breathing could be heard, which was an abnormality, since the forest was inhabited by pokémon and animals and many sorts. But everyone and everything had sensed something strange in the air, and the area had been abandoned shortly after, probably forever. Now it was deserted, without any signs of life other than the many trees that made up the forest itself, the sky darkening as clouds covered the sky. A storm was coming, but it wasn't a normal one. Drops of water fell from the clouds, the amount of energy in the air not only resulting in water pouring down from the sky, but also the appearance of lightning and thunder shortly after, the air around the area becoming stagnant, as if it was being robbed of vitality. In the midst of all that chaos, a strange and unnatural sound was heard, similar to the sound a sheet of paper made when it was ripped, but with such viscerality, and added to the strange factor of the whole situation, it would've made anyone's hairs to stand on edge, feeling as if the very fabric of space was tearing apart.

And that was exactly what was happening.

Purplish sparks filled the air, and a black tear appeared, suspended in midair, through the which a shape came out, falling to the ground. The hole closed, leaving the being in that forest, which was completely new to it. He rose up from it's knees slowly. It wasn't in a hurry. It's prey had managed to escape thanks to Palkia's intervention. But that wouldn't happen. After all, if it's suspicions were correct, it was in a different world altogether, so nobody, not even it's prey, knew it was there.

The shape looked at itself. It's body was completely covered and hidden from view by a black tunic with a hood, covering it's facial features, it's hands and it's feet, and whatever parts showed were a deep onyx black, impossible to discern whether they were claws, fingers or paws. "Excellent… The magic is still working." It told itself, looking around it, unfazed by the storm around it. It didn't know where they were, but it would find them eventually. And when it did, it would finish the job. It's shape vanished into a black blue in just an instant, and then disappeared. The hunt was on.


She had felt something. She was alert. What she felt wasn't normal… unless something big went through. But someone else had felt it. The huge shape of Palkia came out of a white portal, going into the very fabric of space. Floating in this place, the legendary pokémon for the source of that feeling, but found more than what she bargained for. A hooded figure had arrived, and was observing a tear in the delicate fabric. "Who are you and how did you access this plain?!" Lisa roared, approaching the shape at higher speeds, who only turned around to glance at her. The view of it's face was obstructed, but she could see the end of it's muzzle poking from underneath the hood, the pokémon freezing on the spot.

"You… how are you still alive?" She asked.

"My… presence, is the least of our concerns at this very moment." The shape said, stopping to try and find an appropriate word to describe the situation. "This wasn't caused from the inside." It said, turning to face the tear again.

"How do you know that?" The space dragoness asked. As response, the being took a breath and exhaled what seemed to be fiery breath just in front of the tear in the fabric of space, around ten auras reacting in front of the perturbation and appearing before Palkia's eyes.

"Someone… or something, has sent beings from another space to ours." He said. "Someone with your same powers." It added as it watched the tear with curiosity, trying to see the other side. It may be a mysterious and enigmatic creature, but he was also guilty of succumbing to the mortal quality of curiosity. But still… "I don't like this one bit…" It muttered.

"This is not good. We must close the tear." Palkia said. "There's not many reasons for someone to be able to travel to our world, and only one of them doesn't involve a risk of death." She added.

"I understand, but we can't close this for the time being. Whatever has come from there is tearing apart everything, that's why I've been closing holes whenever they've been opened in this plain. And besides… someone's looking at us." He said, to then coldly stare to the side, cold air appearing around his pupils. "I can see you… Dailos." He mentally told the creature, his tone cold and stern. "Lisa, I will stay here and take care that this tear doesn't grow any bigger. If it were to happen, the two dimensions will be annihilated, along with everything in them." He informed the Palkia.

"Hey, that's supposed to be my job." She complained.

"Do you honestly believe you can stay here and make sure that this tear doesn't grow anymore whilst keeping it open and closing any other holes that appear? You would faint from exhaustion." He stated.

The Palkia groaned. "And what am I supposed to do then?" She inquired.

"I don't know. Investigate. Try to to find out who or what has been sent here. Anything." The being answered.

"Alright… I'll see what I can do… but you're in charge!" She responded, to then teleport and leave.


In another space, the being known as Dailos had retreated. He knew the being that had discovered him, and knowing who it was made a smile grow on his face, already knowing what he was going to do.

"How convenient…" he thought out loud, the tone of his voice sinister, yet excited." With him trapped in the fabric of space… I can begin doing what I have to do, but first…" It turned around, facing a transparent vision of the planet that was right in front of him now. He focused on it. "Those two humans… have managed to evade me for months… When I find them I'll make sure they suffer, even after death." He said, anger in his voice whilst he searched around the sphere. He dismissed it, the only light in that place disappearing. "Nobody… nor anything will stop me from doing what I must." His voice echoed in the darkness.


The sound of repeated knocking woke up Jake, who got up and looked at the door. Emily was at the other side, hitting the door with her paw.

"Lunch is ready guys! Come down here already!" Emily shouted, the sound of paws over wood following her words as she moved away from the door. Jake shook his head and looked as his companions. They had all gotten some sleep, and at least he felt refreshed.

"Lunch has been prepared. We must go down immediately if we wish to be polite." The Sneasel informed them, shaking Nox and Eric, who were the closest pokémon to him. Both of them woke up and Jake repeated his words, then got down from the bed and opened the door, heading out into the hallway and going down the stairs. He wanted to get down there as soon as possible, even though he wasn't famished like the rest of his companions.

However, not only Jake heard Emily's words. Dark woke up as he heard them, stretching a little bit, his sister still sticking right next to him. The Eevee had fallen asleep whilst she was crying. "Natalie. Food is ready." He told her, moving his arms around lightly and waking her up.

"Hmm?" She murmured as she woke up, opening her eyes and looking at him, her ears standing straight whilst she yawned. "S-Sorry, I fell asleep." She stated the obvious, giggling.

"Oh really? I didn't notice." He joked, letting her go as he got up and stretched. Just then, Nat's nose twitched.

"Dark…" She called her brother, looking at him and sniffing in his general direction. "I'm still surprised at how delicate my nose is now, but… Even someone with a serious cold could smell that mechanic stench." She said.

"Is it that bad?" He asked, smelling himself… His expression told it all. "Uggh… Yeah, I think I went a little overboard with the oils." He commented.

"You don't say." She commented.

"Well, at least I'm not the only one who stinks in this room. I think you've been between my arms for a while." He answered. Nat immediately sniffed herself, and her expression didn't differ from Dark's.

"You'll pay for this sometime... And I still prefer bathing alone, thank you." She said, remembering the last time they had a hot bath… She certainly would've never thought that one of those relaxing moments could ever turn into something that was so shameful on a personal level.

"Well, with how much we stench… I doubt even bathing in a river would help." He said.

"Oh shut up!" She responded, really irritated. "There's no other option." She then added, looking away.

"You better not complain. Let's just go and get this over with already." He groaned.

"Says the one who managed to go back to standing on two feet." She snarled back.

Dark showed her his paws. "Do you see any thumbs over here?" He asked.

"No, but I can see three fangs that allow you to clench your paws and allow you to grab stuff with ease." She said, getting really technical with him. He looked at his claws and moved them around like she said with a dumb expression on his face.

"Touche… So, want to go first?" He asked her.

"What do you m-" She began, but before she could end the door to their room opened, Ichiro leaning inside.

"Dark? Natalie? Lunch is… Ooooooi!" He said, retreating from the room. "Look, I'm not gonna say anything, but you need a bath ASAP." The boy said, the Eevee blushing madly and looking at the ground, her ears lowering.

Back with the other group, Eric got sat up, carefully removing his arms from around Elly and stretched his arms, yawning and looking down at Elly, who was still sleeping. He shook her lightly. "Hey Elly… c'mon, wake up sleepyhead, lunch's ready." He whispered, the normal type pokémon opening her eyes and winking, obviously sleepy from having woken so suddenly, letting out a long yawn.

"Eh? What? How? What's going on?" She asked when she could, her movements waking up Serge. Eric repeated all that he had said, but his message didn't reach the Eevee's ears as Serge let out a yawn of his own and spread his wings.

"Hey, why did you wake us up?" The bird asked, Eric letting out a sigh. He repeated the message for a third and final time. Nox only needed to hear the first part however as he darted out of bed and straight to the hallway and down the stairs, going so quickly he could've tripped and fallen all the way down.

"Watch where you're going, you jackass!" Lucy screamed from downstairs, her voice showing her anger. Serge smiled, getting down from bed whilst Eric grabbed Elly and helped her down, putting her on the floor, the Eevee nuzzling his side tenderly, still half asleep.

"Well c'mon! What are we waiting for? I'm famished, and I want to say(?) what these guys eat!" The Pidgeot exclaimed, anxious to get out of the room and head downstairs. He headed out right after Eric and Elly, who nodded and left the room, the door closing behind the trio. They heard voices to their left, and once they looked in that direction they saw Ichiro, who was following the same path they were going to go through.

"Hey there, uh… Icho?" Serge asked, not really remembering the human's name, although he was sure he knew his name began with "Ich".

"Hey, what's up?" The silver haired boy asked, smiling, although he didn't answer the Pidgeot's question.

"Pretty good, thanks for the room by the way. The bed was so comfy we all fell asleep in like two minutes!" He responded with a smile, but still not remembering his name.

"Hey hey, slow down… I can get a general idea of what you're telling me, but I don't understand completely everything." The human said, looking at the winged pokémon, which was just as high as he was. "Let's see… You're telling me you liked the room, right?" He asked. Serge responded with a nod, the human being able to guess what he was thanking thanks to how he had communicated, the tone of his voice, which sounded sleepy, and some gestures. The bird finally understood where the communication problem was and gave up on trying to learn the human's name, deciding he would ask someone else later.

"Well anyways… What do we have to eat?" He asked, pointing at the stairs with a wing, then opening his beak and pointing at it with the same appendage.

"Vegetable stew with berries. Your friend, Zed, is really good at cooking. It looks really good, and smells good as well. Haven't you caught a whiff yet?" He asked, since he could smell the food from there himself. Elly closed her eyes and sniffed the air, catching a series of smells that felt familiar, like Eric's, and others that were new. One of the new ones was really pleasant, and it made her mouth water, so she guessed it was the food. The Eevee nodded enthusiastically, now really eager to try out the food.

Serge looked at them, frustrated. "Well come on! Are we going or what?" He asked his companions, which nodded. Eric turned to face Ichiro and pointed at his friends and himself, then pointed at the stairs, making a waving motion with his other paw.

"Of course, I was on my way there. By the way, I think that you and, emmm… the Eevee I can understand just fine, even if you speak to me directly." He said with a smile, not daring to guess Elly's gender or name without knowing it. "There's three more Eevees in the house now, and long before that Hadrim was an Eevee, and Luca was a Riolu back in the day too." He explained why he could only understand the two of them perfectly. "By the way, nice tattoo." He pointed at Eric's right arm as he said this. Eric looked down and smiled, glad that the human liked it.

"Like it? It's the emblem of our team… but that's a story for another day. C'mon, let's go downstairs." He said, Pidgeot sighing in relief, knowing that they were finally going to go eat something. He began walking down the stairs, his friends and the human around him.

"I see… hey, you all have that tattoo? Or is it something only you have?" Ichiro asked. Eric and Elly exchanged a glance, the Riolu looking at the human and saying that only he had it, then looked back down as they headed downstairs.

"Well, it's not a bad idea. If you all had the emblem it would like saying "Hey there, look at who I am." Specially if it's related to you and your team. It would make recognizing eachother much easier, and also easier for others. Even those that you don't want to be recognized by." He said. He didn't understand that the emblem did look cool visually… but was a painful reminder of what had happened in the past.

"So…" Serge began, trying to change the conversation topic. "You say you don't understand half of what we say, eh?" The bird asked, his wings folded to his sides and trying to occupy the least amount of space possible whilst going down the stairs.

"Uhh…" The boy responded, trying to understand what he had heard, trying to come up with an answer for Serge. "I'm sorry… I didn't catch that one." He gave up, Ichiro rubbing the back of her neck with a nervous smile, Serge laughing at this.

"Don't worry, don't worry, it's ok. You'll get used to it. That being said… If you can't understand us, then forget trying to understand what Jake says. Half of the time we don't even know what he's saying!" Serge laughed at what he just said. Ichiro looked at him for a while, not knowing if he should laugh as well or not. This time he understood he should just drop it and… not much else.

"Did he just tell me a joke or something?" Ichiro thought to himself, deciding to keep silent for the time being. Once they got to the bottom floor, Ichiro guided them to the dining room, where the table was already set, with Jake, Lucy, Zed and Emily already sitting down, but still not eating.

"About time! You've been keeping us waiting here for half an hour with the food in front of our faces, slowpokes!" Lucy shouted from the other side of the table. Jake cleared his throat.

"Technically, it's only been ten minutes Lucy, or a third part of half an hour, whichever way you prefer to say it. In other words, you should have said that they took a third of half an hour." The Sneasel corrected her, looking at the three pokemon that had taken so long to come down. "But it is undeniable that you took way too long. Do you have any convincing excuses or should I write you all of as rude?" He later asked.

"We found Ichiro on the way down and started talking with him. And hey, it was just ten minutes. It's not like the world's ending or something." Elly reminded everyone, approaching the table and trying to decide where she and Eric would sit. The Riolu looked at his mate, raising an eyebrow.

"Are you serious? After the way you shouted at me the other day when we headed out for a mission, and now it's not a problem when it doesn't concern you? Really Elly?" The fighting type reminded the Eevee, who didn't know how to answer asides from pushing him, both angry and amused. She knew he was right, but her hunger made everything else seem secondary.

"Well, you can start eating now. I need to help two pokémon take a bath, so be right back." Ichiro said, heading to the bathroom to prepare the bathtub for Natalie and Dark.

"Alright so… before we start eating, you know a basic rule before sitting down to eat, right?" Luca asked from the kitchen door, waiting for their responses. A certain Zorua had been calm enough to do what the Lucario was referring to, and not just because he fell into a water filled sink. However, nobody else seemed to know what the Lucario was talking about and looked at her, confused. Luca glanced at Zed when she noticed the looks on their faces, but she wasn't angry or anyhting like that, but she guessed that he wouldn't have shared that norm due to his shyness. Before she could say anything though, Shade came out of the kitchen, her muzzle dripping with water, since she had just washed her face, along with her paws, Radius right after her, then Luna and finally Hadrim, who greeted them with a smile.

He apologized for not waking them up for lunch as he had told them and everyone took a seat. Daniel and Clara had already eaten and had left the whole table for the pokémon, but Ichiro had decided to eat with them. Luca smiled as she saw them all like that. "You have to wash yourselves before eating. So come on, go to the kitchen and wash your faces and paws." She said, sounding convincing but still calm. All of the pokémon but Zed and Lucy went away from the table, a little angry and headed to the kitchen to wash themselves.

The first one to come back was Jake. "I have a question. Why must quadruped pokémon wash their paws? They are touching the ground constantly, and it is usually dusty or filthy." The Sneasel asked the Lucario.

"Well… in order to wash their faces they have to use their paws, right? Whether they use them or not to eat doesn't matter, since they end up washing them." Luca responded.

"Hmm… true true, it would be hard for them to wash their muzzles without using their paws… Forgive my impertinence, Miss Luca." The Sneasel responded, performing a small bow in the form of an apology, sitting on his chair.

"You don't have to apologize. You were curious and you asked. And please, don't speak to me so formally" Luca said, smiling.

"Does it bother you if I speak like this? I am sorry then, from now on I will try to be more… colloquial around you." He said, apologizing once again and bowing. Whilst this was happening, Eric, Elly, Emily and Serge came back to the table.

"You could say that it bothers me, but it's not that, it's simply that I want you to feel at home." She said, giving him a motherly smile at the very end. "Well…. seeing as you're all clean… Let's begin!" She said whilst she went into the kitchen to pick up her plate, sitting down next to Hadrim. They all got ready to eat, but just as they were going to do so, Eric looked around.

"Hey… where's Nox?" He asked, looking at Elly, who was sitting right besides him. The Eevee shrugged, and Eric looked at the rest of his companions to receive the same response. Nox was nowhere to be seen. "Hey Hadrim, can you use your powers to find Nox? We better do before he messes up something." The fighting type asked the Espeon.

Hadrim looked at them and closed his eyes, the sapphire on his forehead letting out a faint glow whilst he expanded his mind, those who were used to it feeling as if a sheet covered their heads lightly whilst the psychic looked for Nox.

Nox, who had been waiting for his turn to wash himself, noticed a door at the other side of the kitchen, one that didn't lead outside to the backyard nor the one from the which he had gone into. Curiosity got the best of him and he approached the door when nobody was with him, pushing it with his nuzzle and looking inside. It was pitch black, so he couldn't see anything.

"What the… How come all of these rooms are dark? Are they carrying candles on them all the time, or can they see in the darkness?" He asked out loud. Hadrim found him at that exact moment, smiling at that comment.

"Not exactly." Hadrim said, using his psychic to turn on the lights. "They flip these switches and turn on the lights. Dark rooms either have no windows or the windows are closed, to avoid any thieves from getting inside." Hadrim explained.

The garage was pretty big all things considered, with two doors, one being the one that lead to the kitchen, and the other that was just as big as the wall where it was, located at the other side of where Nox was standing. The walls were covered with boards, from the which tools were hanging, such as hammers, screwdivers and various desks, all with more tool boxes that were properly placed. In the center of the room was Daniel's car, which doubled as the vehicle for the entire family. Hadrim explained everything that caught the Houndour's eye, which was basically everything in that room. Next to some of the desks he could see red cans with a black covers, empty as the Espeon told him, the whole ceiling of the room was bare, and the only thing that was hanging from it was the single lightbulb that illuminated the entire room. The last thing Nox saw was something big, covered by a cloth, but not as big as the car, and Hadrim told the fire type that it was Dark's project, and that he was better off leaving it where it was.

Nox was tempted to remove the cloth and see what it was, but decided against so. He was really hungry, and he had decided to go explore for a while to see what else the house had to offer. It was pretty big and he liked it a lot to be honest, but he found it weird that this was someone else's house and he was able to walk around so calmly. "Well… I think I've seen all that I wanted… I suppose I'll head back." Nox said out loud whilst he left the room, leaving the lights on and closing the door as best as he could. He came out to the living room shortly after, appearing in front of everyone else.

"Did you wash yourself?" Luca asked as soon as she noticed that he was completely dry. Nox bit his lower lip, determined to argue with the Lucario about that. However, a glare from all his companions and a look at Serge, who winced, convinced him to go. He disappeared once more, no other sound but the sound of cuttelery on plates audible in the house…

"Holy shit that's cold!" The Houndour shouted to the top of his lungs as soon as he put his paws in the water, everyone in the room unable to hold back their laughter.

"Could've been any of you." Hadrim commented whilst he held back laughter since for all he knew none of them knew how to regulate the temperature of the water, with the exception of Zed and Lucy.

"Actually Hadrim, that is not true. For me, the water was lukewarm, whilst my companions found it refreshing and somewhat cold, but not to that extreme. The sensation we perceive when we touch a liquid is determined by our internal temperature. Mine is lower than average, which in turn made me feel as if the water was lukewarm, whilst Nox, whose temperature is above average feels as if the water is freezing." The Sneasel explained. Hadrim smiled at this, showing his fangs even.

"You're missing my reference to the fact you don't know how to regulate the temperature of the water." The Espeon responded.

Jake tilted his head to the side. "Reference? Did you just use (-)a play a words? I am not familiarized with that type of humour yet." He admitted.

"Jake, you're just as familiarized with any type of humour as we are with this world! Hold on, let me put it in numbers so you understand: Zero!" Lucy barked from the other side of the table, the Sneasel opting to ignore her comment.

"What I said was that you don't know how to make the water come out either warm or cold." Hadrim said.

"Ah… is that possible?" The ice type asked. Him and the Espeon began talking about how it was possible to regulate the temperature of the water. Nox came out of the kitchen and hastily walked towards his chair, right next to Serge. The others had already began eating, and the Houndour didn't wait too long to being devouring the food on his plate.

Minutes after that, Dark and Natalie showed up, Ichiro accompanying them, the boy's clothes soaked, the siblings trying to hide their shame behind their poker faces, trying to not feel awkward about what just happened. The Zoroark waved at everyone to try to keep his mind off of that. "Hey there!" He sniffed the air. "Hey, what's that delicious smell?" He asked whilst he approached the table to take a set in one of the three free chairs, Natalie sitting besides him without saying a word. She was rather small, but her real strength laid in her intelligence, which her eyes showed well now that she was more calm than before her nap.

"Vegetable and berry stew! I helped coo…. cook… t.. them…" Zed stuttered and froze on the spot as soon as he saw the Zoroark, his eyes looking at his form. Even though his fur and hair were different… he was definitely a Zoroark.

"Luca let you cook? Well that's new." He said with a smirk, only showing his fangs whilst he looked at the Zorua.

"Oi! Dark!" She shouted, the tall dark type laughing.

"It's just a joke, just a joke." He said, turning to look at Zed again. "Well… my name's Dark Corel… Well, now Dark Zoroark Corel." He corrected himself with a smile. He then noticed that Zed wasn't snapping out of his trance. "What's with that look?" He asked. No response. "Hey, you alright? You look like you've seen a ghost." He pointed out. Lucy looked at her mate, worried. Dark was right. Zed was mortified.

"Zed?! What's wrong? Are you alright?" She asked, really worried, everyone in the room looking at him. The Zorua noticed he was the centre of attention and looked at everyone.

"Uuuuh…. I… No nothing it's just that… He… reminds me of… Nevermind, forget I said anything." He suddenly finished, pushing his plate. "I'm not hungry anymore." He stated, getting down from his chair. Lucy leaned towards him and tried to grab his fur, but to her surprise the Zorua pushed her paw away and headed for the stairs in a hurry, almost bumping into a table on his way there. He tried his hardest to ignore the bipedal fox, going up the stairs quickly.

Nobody said anything for a while. "Well… I think I may have triggered something…" Dark told himself in a whisper.

"What do you mean?" Natalie asked, who had heard him.

"From what he said and how he reacted… and taking into account that Zorua evolves into a Zoroark… At least from what I guess, whether they're good or bad I don't know, but I think I've made him remember something he had been trying his hardest to forget." Dark responded. He had no way of knowing he would react like that, so it wasn't his fault, yet the Zoroark couldn't help but feel slightly guilty. Lucy sat there, looking in the direction Zed had left, a mix of emotions coursing through her body, but the one that stood out was frustration, which culminated in anger when she realized that she didn't know what was wrong with Zed, and that she apparently wasn't able to help him. The Shinx roared out and separated herself from the table, jumping down from her chair and leaving the room without saying a word. All of their friends stayed where they were, looking at the now empty chairs in silence. Elly, who had been sitting right next to Lucy, who had been sitting right next to Zed, looked at the rest, giving them a forced smile.

"I think that… Uh… I think he isn't feel very well… He's really shy around new pokémon and… I imagine that seeing more people has scared him or something like that…" The Eevee theorized. Eric could sense the tension Zed and Lucy had left behind, so he could already have a general idea that they were going to have a "party" that afternoon. However, what worried him was the fear that the Zorua had left behind. It had only manifested itself when the Zoroark had showed, so he deduced they were related. He didn't say anything else for the time being however, seeing as it wasn't the best of times to spout something like "You scared him" at Dark, who was already feeling guilty enough. He ended up presenting himself and the rest of his companions to the newest additions to the table.

With that whole mess and presentations out of the way, Natalie saying who she was, using the same last name her brother had used and making the same mistake, lunch transpired without anything else of interest happening. After they finished, Dark and Natalie took up washing the dishes, grabbing Zed's and Lucy's plates and putting them in the fridge whilst everyone parted ways to do whatever they wanted. After washing the dishes, Natalie was assaulted by Hadrim, who kept telling her that they needed to practice the Eevee's physical moves in the case she got into a fight, not even letting the Eevee leave the kitchen, whilst Dark went out to the backyard and sat down near the edge, closing his eyes and crossing his legs, relaxing himself in order to meditate.

During one his training sessions, not too long ago, Luca had discovered something strange. She had thrown an aura sphere at him during a sparring match, and had then discovered that the Zoroark had a strangely high affinity to aura, at least when not compared to other Lucario or Mienshao.

She had been trying to show him some things about aura, but even though the Zoroark could sense the aura and was capable of controlling the moves she threw at him, her sky blue aura changing to purplish when the move reached his paws, he hadn't been able to summon his own attacks, so Luca had recommended he relaxed and try to feel the aura around him to try and teach him how to use his affinity to aura to be able to see it.

After that strange lunch, all of the team members gave their thanks to the Kaiser and headed upstairs. Just like Eric suspected, they began hearing screaming and crying from behind their door. The Riolu sighed and he opened the door without hesitation. To his surprise, it wasn't Zed who was crying, but Lucy. "Why won't you tell me?! Don't you trust me?!" She asked him, the Zorua lying on the ground, his head between his crossed front legs.

"No Lucy, it's not that… I already told you I don't even want to remember it to begin with… So let's just drop this!" He screamed at her.

"Don't you dare talk to me like that!" She snarled back quickly. Just then, Eric stepped in between them.

"Whoa whoa whoa, time out! Calm down, will ya?!" The Riolu shouted, placing his two paws in the shape of a T, requesting a little bit of calm time. It worked to some degree, Zed and Lucy staring at him. He rubbed the area between his eyes. "Alright… Can you please tell me what that was all about just now? Why did you just run away as soon as Dark appeared? You left the poor guy flabbergasted when you left like that just because you saw him." He said, Zed looking away.

"It wasn't anything really… It was… We ate something whilst cooking and I may have gotten sick because of it… Also, all those people down there have offered us their home, their food and they're so kind… I just don't feel ok being here." The Zorua, having trouble admitting it. Lucy sat there, looking at him for a few moments. Something inside of her was telling her that Zed was lying, but she already knew that trying to pressure him into telling her would not work. She wasn't dumb, so she decided to drop it.

"Alright, if you say so…" She said, turning around and laying on the ground, facing away from the Zorua, who looked at the ground, ashamed, but didn't say anything else.

"Well… Now that this whole thing is solved… I guess we should move on to the second topic of the day." He said, sighing and looking at Jake, motioning him to close the door. The Sneasel did so and the Riolu turned to face everyone. "Are we going to stay or are we going to leave?" He asked everyone in the group.

"Whazzat?" Serge asked, Eric's words catching him off-guard.

"What you heard. I'm putting it up to voting whether or not we're staying in the Kaiser household or if we are leaving and trying to find a way to go back home." The Riolu explained.

"Yeah, we all caught that Eric. But… really, why do you even have to ask? Of course we're staying! We don't have anywhere else to go, and besides, I don't think we're going to find a way home in just one day." The bird answered.

"And expose them to the dangers we drag behind us on a daily basis? Serge, think about what you want to say before saying it. We came to this world by accident whilst fighting against an extremely powerful foe, and the probability of him following us is too high for us to ignore. For this reason, it's only a matter of time before he finds us, and when he does… He will give us chase until he kills all of us and anyone that has crossed our paths. And if we stay here when that happens, the Kaiser will suffer." Jake calmly explained.

"Yeah… but if we don't stay, and that thing comes around following our trail…. it will come here eventually. And if that happens and we're not here…" Nox trembled as he thought about it. "Nah, I'm with Serge. We have to stay now." He concluded. Jake wasn't sure on whether Nox was saying that because he was lazy or if he wanted to follow Serge's game. Either way, the ice type shook his head.

"Illogical. Staying here will mean putting a lot of lives on the line. We must leave inmediately." He sentenced. Eric stopped this conversation by raising a paw.

"Alright, let's vote then, shall we?" He asked. "Who wants to leave?" He inquired, raising a paw himself. Zed and Jake followed his example.

"I already said why. I don't like it that these people are wasting their time and taking care of us whilst we sit idly and do nothing." The Zorua justified.

"And… who wants to stay?" Eric asked. This time, Elly, Lucy, Serge, Nox and Emily rose a paw.

"I agree with Nox. That thing is going to follow our trail if we move, and if it finds anyone in this house it will kill them without thinking it twice, and it will be our fault." She said, looking at her mate. "I can't allow that to happen Eric. They have a better chance to survive if we stay. I can't afford them to die." She firmly stated.

"If I were to be honest… I propose we take this as some sort of… mini-vacation. We've been fighting and working our rears off for quite a while, so it wouldn't hurt us to relax for a while, right? Besides, if that thing decides to show up, we'll be spending most of the day here, so if it shows it's ugly face, we'll just kick it's ass and bring it home with us! That way, everybody is happy!" The Shinx proposed. Eric glanced at her.

"You do realize that we're all going to get up each day extremely early to have intense training sessions and take turns guarding the house during both the day and night so that we don't fall out of shape, right?" He reminded her. She just nodded repeatedly. He sighed. "Alright then… the result is of three… against five, so we are staying until new notice. Elly and I will go talk with Luca and Hadrim and explain them the situation. After all, they are the ones that get to choose whether or not we can stay or not." The Riolu said, everyone agreeing with that decision.

After all, it seemed like their visit to that world was going to be quite lengthy…

And now we've been introduced to all of the Kaiser family members. They are Rayduran's characters and whatever they do he will control them, so that's why their dialogues are written in a different style. Not only that, but certain things will also be written by him. But anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter of this new fic, and I'll see you on the next one! Take care!
