Disclamer: I do not own Pokemon or any of its characters. The only thing I own is Ebony and the idea for this fanfiction

Chapter 2

Parallel World, Monday Midnight (Shingo's POV)

I couldn't sleep. It was to be expected though, with all the noise from the thunderstorm. So I decided to take a walk around the Pokémon centre instead of just sitting around doing nothing. I left the room and went down the hallway that lead toward the entrance. As I passed a window, something caught my attention. A bolt of lightning flashed with immense power and electrified the tree outside the window. Normally this would not worry me but what I saw after did.

There appeared two bodies next to the tree, appearing from the flash of light. It looked like they were both unconscious. It was not like I could just leave them there. But to help them I would need help. So I awoke Autumn and together we raced to Nurse Joy to unlock the door. Together we brought them inside and brought warm food and clothes for them to change into.

I watched the two girls with interest. The first one looked to be about 14. She had light, sky blue hair that reached down to the middle of her back. She was slim and slightly taller than the other.

What intrigued me the most was the second girl. She seemed like she wasn't from this world. She looked pretty normal though. Her black hair was about the same length as the other girl's. They looked so similar that they most likely were sisters. Then the first opened her eyes. They were a piercing brown. The other one, as I would discover, were a soft green.

(Solana's POV)

"I wonder who they are?" a voice I did not recognize asked

Curious, I opened my eyes to find myself in a place that was not Ebony's house. I sat up and instantly saw two people. One had short red hair like a boy but it was most definitely a girl. Her eyes were coloured auburn and she looked very much like a tomboy. The other person was a boy who was the same height as the girl. He had short purple hair, which at the front fell down past his face and down to the middle of his neck. His eyes were a soft green colour, just like Ebony's. I wondered who they were because I knew I had never seen either of them in my entire life.

At this point, the boy spoke.

"Who are you and why on earth were you out in the middle of a thunderstorm at this time of night. Are you trying to get yourselves killed?" he lectured.

"It's not my fault. The last thing I remember was being in my friend's room for a sleepover and then a bright flash of light. We didn't come here by our doing" I retaliated

"Calm down, don't get upset," the girl said, "all that matters is that you're both alright. Who are you anyway?"

I explained to the two of them that Ebony and I were friends and that we had been having a sleepover and that a storm had sent the surge of electricity causing the Nintendo to create such a blinding light and then we both fell unconscious.

(Autumn's POV)

What this girl was saying made absolutely no sense to me. How could a person be in one moment and in a different place the next? Normally it wouldn't be impossible if a person had an Abra that knew teleport, but this girl looked like she didn't even have any Pokémon. I decided to ask Shingo his opinion about it later.

The other girl, the one called Ebony then started to stir. She was somehow different to anyone I had ever met before. Not by the way she looked but I just had this feeling that she was different. I pushed the thought away. It was most likely nothing.

Nurse Joy returned to the room and told us to go back to bed and then led Ebony and Solana to a room from the night.

Tuesday Morning (Solana's POV)

What a weird dream. In it, I saw a real Nurse Joy. But it was most likely that I had the dream because not only had I played Pokémon before bed, I was most likely homesick as I had not returned home to Fiore in months. I wondered how long it would be before my mission would be complete. Unbeknown to anyone in the other world, including Ebony, I was really a Pokémon Ranger. I was on a mission to seal the portals between my world and Ebony's to prevent the two worlds from colliding. I was also bound to secrecy and could tell no one about my mission, not even my family.

As a cover story, my senior ranger Spenser was acting as my father and my fellow ranger Lunick was acting as my brother as I was acting as their daughter and sister. And it had been working for the past 3 months. It was a miracle that our capture stylers were able to make contact with those back at base. There were only a few portals left, but if they weren't sealed soon, more would appear and the worlds would collide.

But because of where I came from, that was the real reason I liked playing Pokémon. It reminded me of home and of my old partner Pusle who had to remain behind in Fiore. But no one could ever know. Ever!

Well, I needed to get up and pack to leave. That was when I realised that something was terribly wrong. We were not in Ebony's room. As I rushed out of the door, I realised, to my utter horror that we weren't even in her world. And the worst part was that we were in a region that was defiantly not Fiore. It was most certainly not a dream!
