Author's notes: So here's the second chapter from my first story, before you start this chapter I would like to say something. This story will follow the main plot line of RWBY at first. Soon around mid-volume 2 or slightly after is where the my original arc will start, so please be patient and we'll be there before ya know it. Also the chapter length will vary depending on what subject the chapter will be about so also look out for that. Zinnia and the Pokemon are property to Nintendo/Game Freak and everything else is property of Rooster Teeth. Enjoy!

*OPENING*

(Instrumental) (The scene starts with Zinnia putting on her sandals and cape while being surrounded with her dragon Pokémon with her Whismur beside her; she then looks at the camera with a smile. Then the images of Ruby, Weiss, Blake and Yang flashed through the screen before being replaced with Groudon and Kyogre leaping past each other with Rayquasa staring at the screen before charging forward.)

Hey! Come on wake up the sun is shining on this brand new day

(The scenery changes to Beacon Academy with Ruby running to pick up her Kabuto along with her team and Zinnia before everyone looked at the sunrise with awe.)

(Go out charging fast like a volt tackle)

(The scene then shifts to Team JNPR with Jaune holding his Teddiursa with a look of glee and Pyrrha who was sparring with her Metang behind them then to Ren who was meditating with his Accelgor and finally Nora who was running with her Tynamo.)

Go! No need to worry I promise you that I will be okay

(Emerald and Mercury along with Roman and Neo were conversing with each other before turning to a shadowed figure.)

(Keep moving forward and your break the mold)

(Zinnia was being followed by an angry Team CRDL before turning and casually throwing out her Goodra who comically shocked them with a thunderbolt)

Through the land and sea and sky we go on fighting till the end no matter what the trial there's something we all know that the bonds of our friendship cannot bend

(Now we see Ruby in a cave sitting with a sad look on her face with Zinnia standing in front of her with her own sorrowful look; two shadowy figures were shown one was a large dragon with soul piercing red eyes and the other was human with burning amber eyes that gave off some flames. Zinnia then turned and walked away. Ruby quickly got up and reached out desperately for her, but when she made contact Zinnia was nothing more than ashes. A tear ran down from silver eye.)

I'll never let you go

(When it landed a white glow then shone from where it landed)

(Whoa, whoa, whoa Yeah!)

(The light manifested itself around Ruby giving her an increased power as her silver eyes glowed with a burning sensation within.)

XYZ! There is no foe too strong for me and you

(Ruby with her Crescent Rose charged and clashed with the same woman Ruby fought against before. The two then released each other before running around the battlefield.)

XYZ! Keep on fighting and we will Breakthrough!

(Ruby jumped towards the air before quickly swinging her weapon releasing a silver wave of energy towards her opponent.)

XYZ! The roaring skies above are crashing down and coming into view

(The woman quickly put up her weapons to defend herself just as the energy wave hit causing a small explosion. Ruby then gave a loud shout as she came down with her scythe and struck the woman with everything she had causing a tremendous blast to engulf the field they were in.)

XYZ! You must believe there is no dream to small

(Now the scene shows some innocent Pokémon and people were fleeing in terror as they were being shot at by fire. They ran past Team RWBY and JNPR who were instead standing there looking at their opponents with anger.)

XYZ! I know that I gotta catch em all

(The camera now shows the mystery woman standing atop a rock pillar with Emerald, Mercury, and Roman and Neo standing on lower reaching rocks before Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre burst from magma and water in front of them glaring down their opponents.)

XYZ! We will stand side by side like a flash fire burn and never fall Yeah!

(Team RWBY then charged forward with some of their Pokémon Mega-evolving in the process before Rayquasa burst from the ground with a rainbow multi colored glow surrounding its body as the clouds surrounding it dissipated.)

Go raise both your hands high

(Thunderbolts for you and I)

(The scene is now with Professor Ozpin and the Beacon Academy staff who were taking care of their Pokémon before Ozpin turned and looked at the camera)

Yeah break through the mist and rise on up to follow your dreams and then reach out to the sky!

(A Poké ball fell from the sky and landed onto Zinnia's palm who caught it as she looked at the camera with a smile; then the members of Team RWBY and JNPR appeared behind her accompanied by their Pokémon all of whom looked at the camera with smiles of their own as the title appeared on screen.)


The wolves that surrounded Zinnia now growled loudly as did her dragons who formed a protective circle around their trainer and Aster.

"Stay back!" Salamence growled as he snapped his jaws at one of the wolves who returned the gesture with a soul-less fury. Then one of them leaped at the group.

"Oh no, you don't!" Tyrantrum shouted as he head-butted the wolf sending it flying into a nearby rock. Others of the pack charged in to get a quick kill, only for them to get decapitated by multiple glowing saw-like energy blades thrown by Noivern's wings (Air Slash)

"Yeah! Take that!" she shouted gleefully as she roared, Altaria rolled her eyes at Noivern's cockiness before shooting a torrent of fire from her beak at the pack on her side (Flamethrower) setting some on fire with them whining in agony. Unfortunately more of them started to appear, concerning the Pokémon trainer.

"Man, how annoying, you know what let's just go everyone." she stated as she returned her dragons leaving only Salamence out.

"Well Sal you good to go or what?" she asked with Salamence giving a nod of affirmation in response. Zinnia then lifted Aster onto Salamence's back before hopping on herself.

"Ok then let's go exploring you two " she playfully suggested as Salamence flapped his wings and took off leaving the creatures to roar in fury behind them. Zinnia gave a sigh of relief as she knew those beings couldn't follow them in the sky.


That was until she heard a loud screech in the clouds above them; the three looked up just in time to see a giant bird that looked similar to the wolves burst through the cloud before it charged at them.

"Sal, look out!" Zinnia cried out as Salamence made a quick turn just barely missing the beak of the far larger being. The bird made a U-turn to chase after its prey with a loud screech as it flapped its large wings to increase its speed before going after the three. Salamence flapped his wings harder and faster as the bird started to catch up to them, unfortunately it still wasn't enough to out-fly the bird as it slowly started to catch up with its beak open. Thinking quickly Zinnia had a thought in her head. She leaned forward and whispered something into Salamence's ear, after a moment of hesitation he nodded. The bird then started to close in on the three, when it got close enough Salamence did a quick turn, opened his wings before slowing down drastically and using his claws latched onto the bird's shoulders getting a shriek of pain from it. Salamence's claws then gained a green aura and enlarged before he tore off the wing of the bird leaving it to fall towards the forest below. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, then Zinnia saw something in the distance; a large city. She tapped Salamence's neck and pointed to the buildings in the distance, her dragon nodded as he flew in that direction. All three of them were unaware as to what will happen when they'll reach there.

So yeah a relatively short chapter...well in my view anyway. The reason is because this is meant to show Zinnia's first fight against the Grimm, nothing else and how I think it would turn out. So like, follow and leave a supportive review and I'll see ya later Feraligatr.
