Hey there Grimlock here with another chapter and I just had an epiphany recently.
2017 is almost over and a lot of stuff has happened this year. I mean for Movies, we got the Lego Batman and Lego Ninjago movies, Alien:Covenant, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Wonder Woman, a reboot for Power Rangers, and IT, a live action version of Beauty and the Beast and so much more. For TV we got RWBY Volume 5, A Series of Unfortunate Events, and a soft reboot for Once Upon A Time. And video games we got The Legend of Zelda:Breath of the Wild, Little Nightmares, Bendy and the Ink Machine, Cuphead, Super Mario Odyssey, Pokemon: Ultra Sun and Moon, a PS4 release for RWBY Grimm Eclipse and Undertale, and my personal favorite, the release of DESTINY 2 as well as the release year of Kingdom Hearts 3 confirmed.
Man we had a good year and I hope to have another one next year.
Now with that out of the way, FOR THE PUPPYS!
Disclaimer: Same as chapter 2
*OPENING*
Are you Ready?
(Opening starts with Ruby's red cloak riding in the wind as morning approaches)
READY STEADY CAN'T HOLD ME BACK!
(Ruby catches her cloak and puts it on just as Crescythe caught up with her)
READY STEADY GIVE ME GOOD LUCK!
(Weiss is seen putting her hair into a side ponytail while Blake puts on her bow and Yang wraps her scarf around her neck)
READY STEADY NEVER LOOK BACK
(Team JNPR is walking along a road as Lloyd, Seth and Jackson run past them)
LET'S GET STARTED READY STEADY GO
(The eleven heroes look onward as the camera rises upward and the title appears)
Sceneries being blown away seem to whirl in front of me
(The group is walking along a road as wild Pokémon watch them go by)
Even if I get desperate, I won't overlook my target anymore
(Team CRDL try to stop them only to be sent flying by Crescythe)
An unreliable map should be burnt
(Ruby and Weiss threw their Pokeballs, releasing a 10% Zygarde, a Zigzagoon, a Scatterbug and Aqua with Crescythe appearing with them. Blake and Yang threw their Pokeballs, revealing a Weedle, Screecher, a Fletchling and Leona. JNPR threw their balls and revealed Excalibur, a Dunsparce, a Keldeo, Pitfall, an Azumarill Eve, a Caterpie, Sirius and a Combee. Lloyd, Seth and Jackson were surrounded by their Pokemon as they looked to the camera)
I'll grasp onto the buried truth with my hands
(The group is training in a field, doing Pokémon Battles, while Lloyd and Seth performed a Mega Evolution with Metagross and Gardevoir as their forms change.)
I came running frantically -hastily-
(Weiss is doing a performance with Aqua and her Scatterbug as the rest of the group cheers her on.)
The throb of my heartbeats feels deafening enough to burst
(Ruby and Crescythe are fighting against a rampaging Shiny Mega Evolved Tyranitar right in front of Prism Tower in Luminous City.)
Your voice is echoing -shouting-
(The group stands at the edge of a cliff watching in amazement as they watch Dialga, Palkia and Nic Pularis fight the Assailant while Primal Groudon, Primal Kyogre and Mega Rayquaza battle Acnologia before they vanish without a trace.)
There's no time to be like standing still here
(The group runs along a road, while a White Cloaked Figure with a Shiny Absol at their side watches them before disappearing)
READY STEADY GO
(Vanessa is in a room chained to the wall as she looks to the sky with hope)
PLEASE. TRUST ME
(Ruby and the White Figure face off against each other as Crescythe and the Absol fight each other)
It was a nice sunny day. The Remnant group, Seth, Jackson and Lloyd were walking through Route 1 to Aquacorde Town, which is really not far from Vaniville Town.
"What a nice day," Ruby spoke, stretching her arms out.
"That I would have to agree with," Weiss said. "If it isn't for the fact that we have things to worry about."
"Calm down, Weiss," Seth told her. "You can't solve everything just by thinking and worrying about them. At times like this, you just have to relax. Besides, if what you guys think is true, I doubt the captors would do much to your friend if one of them cares about her."
"Well, I guess so."
"Speaking of relaxing, civilization is right up ahead of us," Jackson said, pointing at the entrance to Aquacorde Town. "You eight can relax for a bit once we get there."
"Why? What are you three going to do?" Jaune asked.
"We don't have everything we need for the journey. There are a couple of stores in there that have the supplies we really need. Seth and I will get some of those and give them out to each of you guys. We'll meet you guys at Aquacorde's Cafe. Sound good?"
They all nodded in agreement to the plan.
Upon entering the town, the otherworldly huntsmen/trainers sat at a big table outside a cafe.
"I know they told us to relax, but I find it hard to just be calm about this," Blake said.
"I hear you. Despite what we think, what if we're wrong?" Pyrrha asked.
They all got silent at her question. Crescythe sensed something coming to them and faced it. Ruby noticed her actions.
"What's up, Crescythe?" she looked at the direction her Pokemon's looking. Staring back at the group was a small tan-furred Pokemon with dark brown paws. It had several green sprouts coming off its body, the longest one on top of its head, and its ears and tail had a leafy appearance.
"What's that Pokemon?" Nora asked.
"It looks... strangely familiar," Ren pointed out.
"Hey there, little fella," Yang knelt down to its level and was suddenly met with it jumping onto her lap. It then climbed to her shoulder and on the table the rest of the group were on. All of a sudden, it began to glow. Assuming it would explode, they all either move away from it or hid under the table. Instead of an explosion, the Pokemon released a beam into the sky, making it really sunny.
"What just happened?" Jaune asked.
"Ooohh. It's so sunny," Nora said, looking up at the sky.
Everyone else looked up at the sky as well and found themselves calm and entranced at how nice the weather suddenly was.
"I guess this Pokemon wanted to help us calm down," Ruby assumed.
"Looks that way," Pyrrha agreed. "Thank you for that." She pet it behind its ear.
"Leafe," it simply said with a soft smile.
"That's Leafeon for you," came Jackson's voice. They turned and saw him, Seth and Lloyd approaching the group, each with a bag in their arms.
"That was fast," Jaune stated.
"The store wasn't far. And there wasn't much to get out of it." Jackson knelt down. "Come here, Leafeon." In response to his command, the Pokemon ran to his side and climbed up to his shoulders.
"So that is your Pokémon?" Ren asked.
"Yep. And one of his best," Seth answered. "Since she's hanging out with you guys, I'm guessing that means she's done with giving her assistance to the elderly couple Jackson left her with."
"Why was she with them?" Nora asked.
Jackson answered her question. "The old man wanted to cut up some firewood, but his back was sore, so I lent him Leafeon."
"She can cut wood? How?"
The three trainers and Grass-type Pokemon looked at each other, knowing what the other was thinking. "Rather than tell you, how about a battle?" The Remnant team were shocked at Jackson's suggestion. "Think of this as training. For the big battle that will come." They looked at each other, reconsidering the idea.
"We'll do it!" the youngest of the eight accepted.
"In that case, let's head on over to Route 2. We don't want to destroy anything in this town. Oh, but first, your portion of the supplies." They got their share of the stuff the three boys got, which consisted of Pokeballs and Potions. The group then went up north, out of the small town.
They didn't go far, but they also weren't close enough for anything to happen to Aquacorde Town.
Ruby stood on the east side, while Jackson was on the west side. Both had their Pokemon out before them.
"So... How does a Pokemon Battle work exactly?" Weiss asked Seth.
"Don't you guys do Pokemon Battles from where you're from?" he asked back.
"They were timed, so we didn't really do much battling."
"Oh. Reasonable enough, I guess. Here, in Pokemon Battles, each trainer uses a certain amount of Pokemon, the maximum being six. To win, you have to knock out all of your opponent's Pokemon."
"Wasn't that happened back when Vanessa was teaching the Professores how to work well in Team Battles?" Blake recalled.
"You mean that time when Professor Goodwitch's Abra evolved into Kadabra?" Yang also recalled.
"So you do know how Pokemon Battles work," the hat-wearing trainer said.
"Well, I wasn't sure exactly," the heiress defended.
"You ready Ruby?" Jackson asked.
Ruby was about to answer when they heard something.
"Excuse me, is there a battle happening here?"
They turned to see a woman dressed in white attire, complete with a broad-rimmed hat with a white ribbon, and sunglasses.
The group did not recognize the newcomer until someone called her out.
"Diantha?"
There was a moment of silence until…
"WAIT WHAT!?" Seth said is surprise.
"Lloyd, you know the champion of Kalos?" Jackson asked.
"I know all the champions," Lloyd said, "excluding Alola, due to that there isn't an official champion of that region yet."
"Well given who your mother is Lloyd, I am not surprised," Diantha said.
"Hang on," Weiss said, "who is your mother, Lloyd and why is she so important?"
At this question, Lloyd smiled and said, "I won't tell you but I will tell you that she is strong. Anyway what brings you here, Diantha?"
Diantha smiled and said, "I heard that there was a powerful trainer in Kalos, so I decided to go investegate and I found you, Lloyd."
"So what you're saying is that you want to battle me?"
"That's mainly it."
Lloyd thought it over for a minute before responding, "Ok I'll do it. Ruby, Jacky, stand aside me and Diantha will fight, Seth can you please the referee for this fight?"
"Sure thing, Lloyd."
"Ok."
"Don't call me Jackie."
Soon Lloyd was standing where Ruby was and Diantha was standing where Jackson was.
"This will be a one on one battle between Diantha Allstar of Kalos and Lloyd Jayne of Sinnoh. The battle will end when one of the trainer's Pokemon is unable to battle," Seth explained, "Let the match begin."
"Let's do this Gardevoir," Diantha yelled throwing a Pokeball, revealing a humanoid figure with green hair and a crystal in its chest.
"Gardevoir," is said when it appeared.
Lloyd smiled and said, "why am I not surprised?"
Diantha smirked as she said, "and I wouldn't be surprised if you used Willow either."
"Sorry Diantha, I don't want another chick fight like last time," Lloyd said as he pulled out a pokeball, "but I can show you something interesting. Lets go Sparky." He then threw the Pokeball revealing an orange mouse riding its tail.
"Raichu," it said.
"What is that Pokemon?" Ruby asked from the sidelines.
"It looks like a Raichu," Jackson said pulling out a familiar device, "but I never see one like that one before." He then pointed it at the pokemon in question.
"Raichu: The mouse Pokemon," the device said, "It unleashes electric shocks that can reach 100,000 volts. When agitated, it can knock out even an Indian elephant."
"Is that a Pokedex?" Weiss asked Jackson.
"Yes it is," Jackson responded, still focused on Raichu, "all Pokemon trainers have one. Once we get to Luminous City, we can ask Professor Sycamore to give you some."
While the group talked, the battle was just starting.
"I'll let you have the first move, Diantha," Lloyd said.
"Thanks Lloyd, Gardevoir use Shadow Ball!" the Gardevoir formed a black ball and threw it at its opponent.
"Sparky, dodge and use Thunder Shock." The Raichu avoided the attack and released an electric wave that hit the Gardevoir.
"Good move Lloyd. Use Thunderbolt!" Gardevoir sent a lightning bolt at Sparky.
"Sparky cancel it out with one of your own." Sparky also sent out a lighting bolt causing the two attacks to collide.
"Sparky use Volt Tackle!" Sparky encased himself in lighting and then charged at Gardevoir.
Gardevoir looked at Dianthia, who smirked and nodded, and started teleporting around the field.
"What the heck?" Ruby asked, "What is going on?"
"It must be the bond between the two," Jackson guessed.
"Ok that does it!" Lloyd growled, obviously annoyed, "Surfs up, Sparky!"
When he said this, a bracelet that wasn't noticeable until now started to glow and he did some quick dance.
"What is he doing?" Yang asked, only to receive a shrug from Jackson.
"Sparky," Lloyd said when he finished, "use Stoked Sparksurf."
Sparky then started to ride his tail like a surfer and rode it right at Gardevoir, hitting her head on, causing her to collapse.
"Gardevoir is unable to battle," Seth said, "The winner is Sparky."
"That was a good fight Lloyd," Dianthia said, returning Gardevoir to its Pokeball.
"Same here," Lloyd responded, doing the same to Sparky, just before he was tackled by Ruby and Nora.
"Tell us how you did that!" Ruby shouted, clinging onto his arm.
"Teach us your secrets," Nora begged, riding his back.
"Get off me," He said, trying to get the girls off of him as the rest of group watched on.
"How strong is Lloyd?" Weiss asked.
"I don't know," Seth responded, "but I hear that he can go toe to toe with Cynthia, the Champion of Sinnoh, one of the most strongest trainers in world."
"Who you would win, Lloyd or Nic?" Blake asked.
Meanwhile, in another world- no, in another dimension- we see two people walking through what seemed to be the dark halls. Nothing guiding them but the dim lights. They stopped at a door and opened it. Inside was what seemed to be a dungeon with a comfy-looking bed in it. Chained to the bed was a certain girl.
She looked at the two by the door. "What do you want? Trying to get me to join you guys?"
"Who said anything about that? Though that wouldn't be a bad idea," the cloaked male of the two evilly chuckled.
The girl looked at his companion. "Zetta, why would you work for them? Did they threaten you? Do they have something dear to you? Whatever it is, I can help you get it back! Ruby and the others will help you! We're friends; friends help each other."
The cloaked man chuckled once again. "That is where you're wrong. Zetta here... Joined us on her own free will."
"I refuse to believe that!"
"You better believe it. Once we find your precious brother, you will do your part in helping us get what we want from him."
"Over. My. Dead. Body."
With another chuckle, both the man and Zetta left the room and shut the door lock.
The girl looked out what seemed to be the window on the wall in the back of the room. "Nic... Ruby... Guys... You'll find me. I know you will."
So this will be the last chapter for awhile. Mostly because I accidentally broke my laptop and the screen is broken, so until my laptop is fixed, I won't be able to work on my stories.
