AppleJackStar: Thank you all to those who read my last chapter. Here's Bunnie and Antione. Enjoy!
"Are you sure of this?" the pink guardian asked as he twitched his tail with anxiety.
"Yes, she seems nice to me," the green guardian replied to her friend.
"I still say we can't trust the two-leggers."
"She was found lost, Mew. She needs us. We don't turn our back on those in need."
"I still say it's not a good idea."
The green fairy's silhouette shined in the moonlight as she fluttered over to her friend, Mew, and bopped him on top of the head. His fur ruffled and he stuck his tongue out at her playfully. It wasn't recent until they had found the little princess that day and they've been taking care of her ever since. The green legendary, Celebi, her apprentice, Pichu, had discovered the two-legger inside the rotten stump at the end of their sanctuary. Just then, rustling came from the tall grass and out came three more guardians.
"I made Chansey and Audino tend to her wounds, Miss Celebi," Jirachi, a white mythical beast with golden wings and a star-shaped head, said.
Celebi smiled at him and dipped her head in gratitude. She approached the tiny prince and patted him on the head. She thanked him and moved on to the fire guardian. He had two point ears and was orange and pale yellow at the base of his stomach. His little wings struggled to keep up as he fluttered in the air. "Tired, Victini?" Celebi asked.
"Yes I am," he said as he fought to hold down a yawn, "I was taking care of the new guardian egg today. Keeping it warm all day with the royal nursemaids, Litwick, Magmar, and Mascargo, is hard." He flew down and sat on his rear on the branch below him. The rest of the legendaries joined Victinti and sat down next to him. "I haven't been this tired since the day I used my ability to give victory to all the knighted mythical creatures who fought in the great war."
"Battle of the Beasts was hard times on us all Victini," Celebi clapped her hands together, "Fighting over territory for the Forest Village was the best for us all."
A white and green blur zoomed by, spinning Celebi and Victini in their place. Victini shouted in rage over being dizzy while Celebi tried to calm her aching head. The owner of the white and green fur was a little deer looking creature with green antlers and a red scarf around its neck. He flew high over the four guardians with dignity and had a smirk on his face as he looked down at the four.
"Sure was," he laughed; his shoulders up and downing as he laughed away, "I remember Terrakian got his head stuck in the tree when he was aiming for the stupid Persian!"
"I remember that day, Shaymin" giggled Mew and clasped his hands to his mouth. He twirled in the air doing a summersault in excitement, "Remember when Houndoom fell in the river to stop her cub, Poochyena from getting into it, and she came back up with a worm dripping out of her nose?"
Celebi, Victini, Shaymin, and Jirachi nodded and laughed. "Poochyena didn't recently evolve into Mightyena did she?" Shaymin asked.
"She did in fact!" Jirachi said, "She evolved the last day while training with me." A sense of sadness fallen over the tiny prince and he looked down at the branch below his legs, "I hope she doesn't forget about me. Ever since she made it to her nest step on her journey, she's been hanging out with all the other dog creatures in their final state. I mean, I am a thousand years older than her but I only have been awake permanently for the last six months. Mightyena is twice that age!"
"It'll be alright, Jirachi," Mew smiled amusedly, "Mightyena may be older days she's been awake, but you top her for age. That goes for all of us guardians too."
It was true. Jirachi had been born in the world a thousand years ago before any of the other guardians have been hatched. But he recently awoke from his stone hibernation only two weeks ago. It was odd that he didn't go back into hibernation when the Wishing Star disappeared out of their planet's atmosphere. The legendary elder, Moltres, said that it was a miracle beyond all their eyes and what they knew from before. Now the young prince was stuck in a new age of time that he had to get used to.
The moment of silence was cut off when Shaymin sputtered, "What are we going to do with the two-legger? We can't return her back to her people. She'll lead them back here and who knows what they'll do to us!"
"The two-leggers can't be trusted!" Mew spat in agreement.
Mew Shaymin were different in elemental type wise, Shaymin being part grass, and Mew just being psychic, but the two were close friends since the Battle of the Beasts. Shaymin had saved Mew's life right before a branch covered with fire from a heatwave attack had fallen on top of him. The two used to bicker about their differences but never again since that day.
"Enough!" Celebi voiced, "We will protect and care for this young girl until we can figure a way to get her back to the two-leggers without her taking them to us."
"We can wipe her memory and she won't remember anything," Victini suggested.
Mew and Shaymin's cols glares loosened and Mew said, "Yes…yes that would be a good idea. But what if she does harm to our people while she's here?"
"Then I'll tackle her with my antlers!" Shaymin thrust his appendages back and forth.
"Shut up, Shaymin!" Victini flashed him a toothy smile and knocked the legendary down with an ember attack, "Don't be such a scaredy hog! And that ember was for spinning me around."
"Hey, you shut up!" shouted back Shaymin, "I need these gardenia flowers to keep my flight mode. I'm not a little scaredy hedgehog when I'm a brave deer!"
"Suuuure," teased the fire and psychic type, "Or maybe you're scared of being in your normal mode and use the flowers to stay in your flight mode!"
Everyone barreled out another laugh as Shaymin's white fur stood up on end. The five were so busy in their conversation that they had no idea another was joining them. A pale yellow animal with black-tipped diamond shaped ears, black collar, and black tail that looked like a musical note. It blinked in confusion why they were laughing and stood on its hind paws. "Um-Excuse me everyone-I'm sorry for interrupting but the two-legger wanted to speak with you," he bowed his head to the guardians.
"Yes, she may speak-How is she doing in the nursery by the way?" Celebi asked.
"I'm right here Queen Celebi."
A two-legged creature came out from hiding behind the trunk of the tree. Her ginger red hair was tossed and ruffled from being out of her normal well-groomed life as a princess and into the wilderness. She stumbled a little on her legs as if she had just woken up from a nap. Her previous scratches were gone thanks to Chansey and Audino's refresh attack. Her brown fur was un-kept. The pale moonlight bathes her form as she came into the light.
"Princess Alicia Sally!" Celebi gasped, "You should be in the nursery."
"Looks like the kid didn't want to be treated like a baby," Shaymin rolled his eyes. Victini slapped him on the back of the head in irritation.
"Forgive me, but after all your hospitality and generous offering me of a place to stay, I'm afraid Shaymin is right, Miss Celebi," Sally drooped her ears, "I do not understand why I have to remain in the nursery with children and infants."
"Because you're ill and were barely walking when we found you!" Celebi scolded, "That's why!"
Sally's whole body was hurting from the transformation back to flesh and blood. Her bones were aching and her fur would not stay down. Being transferred to this alien world didn't help either. She was dealing with a new world, her physical and emotional state, and back to knowing what she had done to Mobius and its citizens and her family and friends, she was not in the best mood right now. Celebi's screaming had pounded in her ears and a tear came to her right eye. Jirachi noticed this and went down to wipe the tear away and her and gently said;
"We send all of our sick to the nursery and medical dens."
He sat down on her shoulder and smiled, hoping she would do the same.
Sally didn't feel like it. Jirachi got off of her as she bent her knees and place her head down into them. She wrapped her arms around her head to shield her tears away from the others and she whispered, "I want to go home."
Jirachi's smile disappeared and grew upset. He looked up at the other guardians who only Celebi and Victini stared down at Sally with pain and pity.
Celebi fluttered down and grabbed hold of Sally's hands. The princess looked up at the fairy who gave her a warm and gently smile. "We'll get you home Sally. Once we figure a way to get you back to your people peacefully, then you can go home. But until then, I would love if you can call the Ilex forest your home right now. How about we go back to the sanctuary, all right?"
Sally sniffled and nodded. She allowed herself to be telepathically picked up by Celebi like child, as was Pichu, and they flew back to the safe part of the forest.
"Buuunieee! Antiooone!"
Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Julie-Su, Amy, Nicole, Elias, and Silver were walking on a trail trying to find their friends along with Charmander, Eevee, and Squirtle, and Larvitar in her backpack on Knuckles' back. Eevee was sniffing out the trail as Charmander lifted up a small rock to see if they were under there. Amy giggled and said they'd be a little too big to fit under a rock that size. Charmander dropped the rock and continued on with the search. Squirtle swam in the nearby stream to see if they were underwater but found nothing.
"You guys have to think a little," Elias sighed and knelt down next to the mythical creatures, "Bunnie and Antione actually well-look like us."
The creatures tilted their heads in confusion and tried to envision what the two-leggers' friends could look like. Amy looked to Sonic and Tails in worry. They had no pictures to go by that the animals could look at. All they had was themselves and a backpack and a few weapons here and there.
"We'll find 'em guys!" Sonic chimed as he placed his right hand on Elias' shoulder and his other on Charmander's head, "Look guys. Ant has blue clothes with red buttons and stripe going down it.
And bad blonde hair. Bunnie also has blonde hair with a ponytail and a brown jacket and pink leotard- I think it's a leotard."
The creatures talked amongst themselves.
"Sonic, the animals don't know what clothes and jackets are," Nicole analyzed their conversation and informed the others.
Sonic dipped his head in defeat and sighed, "Well how else am I supposed to tell them what they look like?"
"Perhaps I can help."
Nicole projected an image of Bunnie and Antione for the animals. Eevee watched in awe for he had never seen the projector images like Charmander and Squirtle. Even Larvitar woke from her nap to see what they were all staring at. Eevee stuck his paw out to see if it was real and jumped back when his paw went right through the "physical bodies."
"This is what they look like," Nicole answered.
The team nodded and bounced off to find them.
Squirtle was making her way to the underbrush when the ground started to shake. Mythical creatures made their way out of the underbrush and tall grass. Squirtle stumbled backwards and fell right onto the back of her shell. Eevee and Charmander were trying to ask their species what was going on but they either got shoved out of the way or ignored. Birds flew out of their trees and monkey-like animals swung from the tree branches.
An earthquake was happening right under the heroes' noses.
"Squirtle!" Julie-Su went and grabbed the turtle before a fissure came and swallowed the two whole.
"Larvitar! Lar!" the baby went back into her backpack to hide from the chaos going on outside.
"It's okay," Knuckles comforted the child.
Sonic used his speed to whip up a collision of rocks to head toward the fissures to fill in the wholes. It only made it worse. The big rocks broke into smaller pieces and crashed within the sinking ground. The group grabbed their animal friends and headed up toward a mountain. Charmander wriggled his way out of Elias' arms and flamethrowered a nearby tree. It cut the tree in half and landed on top of the fissures.
It seemed to stop it for a minute. Squirtle used water gun to stop the tree from burning the forest. Silver used his telepathy to lift themselves into the air.
"Silver, you can use your powers to stop the quake right?" Elias laid a hand onto the white hedgehog's shoulder.
"Yeah," Silver nodded and with his telekinesis, raised his arms into the air and spun his fingers in a circular position. The earthquake seemed to stop and the land lay calm and peaceful once again. Silver floated everyone down until their feet touched the ground and they surveyed the area. Trees were torn up and rocks had exploded everywhere but from besides that, no one was hurt.
"Good job feather-head!" Sonic slapped Silver on the back and Silver blushed humbly.
"Oui, oui," that waz excellent."
The group turned around to see who the owner of the French-like voice was. Sonic didn't even need to turn around. He swerved around and zoomed up to his pal. "Ant! Bunnie!" he squealed like a child. He was so excited to see his best friends again. He was suffocating Antione in an embrace but Bunnie didn't seem to mind.
"Merci Bokeu Sonic but…could you please put uz down?" Antione begged.
Sonic opened his eyes and blushed. He put the two onto their feet and the friends welcomed each other with warm smiles.
"Where were you two?" Tails asked.
"We were genisized over here togetha and we camped out in a cave," Bunnies explained.
"Same here," Tails smiled, "But only we camped out in an abandoned tree."
"Oh Bunnie, I do not care what planet we are on now but if I'm with you zen I am the happiest man in ze world," Antione said cornily as he took his wife's hands into his.
"Yeah, yeah, the mooshie stuff can wait Ant," Sonic joked with his comrade but then got serious, "Right now we need to find some shelter for us."
"Eevee."
"Aw, ma stars," Bunnie knelt down in front of the mythical creatures and rubbed Eevee's head, "Ya tamed some of these varmints haven't ya?"
"That's not all," Knuckles giggled and pulled his mythical creature out of her backpack and showed Bunnie, "This lil' one came from a hatched egg I found."
"Knuckles thought her egg was some kind of chaos emerald here," Julie-Su teased him.
"No I didn't!" Knuckles sputtered and before he knew it, Bunnie had taken Larvitar out of his hands and held the baby in her arms. She rocked the infant back and forth in her arms and cooed at it.
"Mista Knuckles, she is with absolute a doubt a cutie!" she said.
They continued their conversation until they decided it was time to go look for Sally now that Nicole could enclose a location on her. They were in luck. She was only half a mile into the deep woods and they made their way across the Sycamore covered land. It was only twenty minutes later when they came to a clearing. They waited to hide behind the bushes just in case an enemy came out. But the mythical creatures did not want to wait with them. They got excited for some reason and jumped out of the bushes.
"Guys, wait!" hissed Elias and before he had the chance to catch them, they hollered out into the air.
"Elekid!"
A yellow and black animal with a plug-shaped head came down on a vine and swung past Charmander and Eevee's friends. The mythical creatures watched in enjoyment as more of their kind came out. A Rattata and Lillipup appeared from behind a tree. A Goomy oozed its way out of a puddle along with a Wooper and a Pansear, Pansage, and Panpour appeared out from a branch. A ton of more creatures came out, too many for the Mobians to count. One that caught Tails' attention was a creature that looked like steel. It was gears with one large one in the center, a medium on the left, and a small one on the right. The gears of the creature clinged and clanged in excitement. The animals jumped in the air when they saw their friends returning.
An Eevee popped out of the crowd along with a Bulbasaur and the Lillipup. They approached their friends and danced around each other. Squirtle was introduced to the three new animals and Lillipup got so excited that he turned around and tickled Squirtle with its tail.
Squirtle did the same and the puppy rolled over on its back.
Soon, a Pichu joined them.
The creatures all came out to meet their saviors from their sanctuary being destroyed.
Charmander, the two Eevees, and Squirtle ran forward to the crowd and waved at their friends passing by. Elias figured that Charmander and Eevee knew the new creatures coming out.
"Char! Char!" Charmander laughed with Bulbasaur over a joke.
"Look at the rosebud on top of its head," Bunnie cooed, "I bet it's a girl."
"My Cherie, stay hidden," Antione advised his wife as she tried to get over the bush they were hiding behind to pet the animal.
The animals continued their celebration until a Hitmontop appeared out of a den and was spinning on top of its head like a dradle. He made his way over to Charmander and the others and stopped. He grabbed hold of Charmander, Squirtle, and tried for Eevee but the mammal frightened away.
"Hitmontooop!"
He threw the two animals into the air and got back onto his head to spin. Charmander and Squirtle flew into the air and giggled excitedly. They came back down and landed on top of Hitmontop's twirling legs. They tossed up and down in the air as the rest of their kind crowded around the crazy fun. It was like a ride! The braver Eevee, the Pichu, and Volbeat motioned to the Hitmontop that they wanted to ride too and the animal stopped and placed Charmander and Squirtle on the ground. He went back to spinning and Eevee, Pichu, and Volbeat jumped onto the whirling animal.
Up and down they went as their friends watched.
The three flew off of Hitmontop and onto a red shell, Volbeat holding Eevee and Pichu atop of the bug's head. They were blasted back into the air when a Shuckle poked its head out of the shell they were sitting on and Volbeat flew high in the air in circles as the animals played below.
The gear animal Tails noticed was a KlingKlang. It began separating its individual gears and playing a rhythmical tune.
"They're all celebrating," Silver smiled in amusement.
"I wonder what they're saying," Amy replied.
"Maybe I can help with that," Nicole said, "They're saying that they're happy to see their saviors and they want to host a party for them."
"Animals?" Sonic asked, "Partying?"
"Well you see it don't you?" Knuckles pointed out.
"Lar?" Larvitar overheard the music playing and opened her eyes. She struggled to get out of the backpack but was held in place by her echidna owner.
"No, Larvitar," Knuckles whispered, "You can't blow our cover."
Back into the clearing, the puppy, Lillipup, twitched his ears and growled deeply. He began to bark and bolted toward the pushes where the Mobians were hiding. "Crap!" shouted Sonic, "We've been discovered." The animal stopped in his tracks and continued to bark at the bush where Antione and Bunnie covered themselves behind.
The KlingKlang stopped playing the tune and Hitmontop stopped spinning. Volbeat, Eevee, and Pichu were flown back down to the ground. Everyone stared into the direction that Lillipup was barking in. Charmander, Squirtle, and the cowardly Eevee gave a look of weary that their two-legged friends were found. Sonic took in a deep breath and exhaled anxiously. Lillipup was not fooled by the bush. It darted into the vegetation and the first thing he nabbed was Antione's boot. Surprisingly, the little pup pulled him out of the bush with full force.
"Agh! Sauk meh bleu!" the Mobian Coyote's nails dug up the earth as he was dragged.
Bunnie jumped out from the bush and was ready to defend her mate until they heard screams. The animals fled from the clearing and back into their dens. Only the Hitmontop, a Rhyhorn and a Liepard stayed to defend the others. The growled in, preparing themselves to attack the intruders.
"Wait! Wait!" Sonic jumped out, "We're not enemies! We're just here to look for a friend of ours!"
"A friend you say?"
"Um-yeah-who said that?" Sonic looked around to see who talked to him, "I thought none of you guys could talk."
"That's because you don't understand our language so I'll telepathically allow you to understand."
Just then, a little green fairy came down from no where. It had a friendly smile on its face and tapped Sonic on the head. Sonic jumped out in surprise and watched as the fairy's blue eyes glowed and a blue aurora appeared around its body and then around the Mobians. It felt like weird like their stomachs were coming up their throats and back down as if they were on an elevator.
"Let him go Lillipup!"
Sonic heard a voice and turned to where it had come from. It was Squirtle! The little turtle had grabbed Lillipup's foot and was pulling him back, trying to get him off of Antione. "Agh! Zey are talking!" Antione howled in shock. The Lillipup glared at Squirtle and spat Antione's boot out of his mouth and turned to the turtle.
"You can't tell me what to do. Mew said that the two-leggers were dangerous and no good comes from a two-legger," he fluffed up his fur to make himself look bigger than he actually was.
"You just haven't met them, that's all," Charmander approached the two, "Believe me! They're really nice. We've been traveling together. All of us! They're really interesting and-"
"Yeah!" Squirtle jumped in, "They even have this cool thing with them that shows pictures of objects and people! She's really smart too and her name is Nicole! I like her. She zapped me with a thundershock a little but I'm fine. Actually, it was my fault. I thought she was food and I went overboard. But she's really cool!"
Nicole blushed with that comment.
"T—they even have a baby mythical creature with them," Eevee stuttered.
"A baby? Where?!" Magmar came out from the den with other small creatures sticking their heads out to see what was going on. The yellow and red animal looked over to see Larvitar blinking at her and the nursemaid jumped. "What have you done to her?!" she sputtered and ran to Knuckles, "Half of her body is gone!"
Knuckles laughed and pulled Larvitar out of the backpack, "Not to worry. It's what we call a backpack. We put things in it to carry them. I-Hey!"
Magmar grabbed Larvitar from Knuckles and she gave him a serious look. "Oh, so I guess our children are nothing more than mere things to you now are we?" she hissed.
"Now I said nothing like that!" Knuckles waved his hands back and forth in the air. Julie-Su stopped him before he could go any further.
"Enough!" the green fairy got in the middle of them, "They said they were looking for their friend and that's what I believe. Nursemaid Magmar, you can take the little one to the nursery now." The yellow and red creature gave Knuckles one last glare and walked back to the den. She cradled Larvitar in her arms as she allowed the baby to play with her extended finger. The green fairy turned back to the Mobians, Antione, thankfully returning to his group. Knuckles motioned to get back his Larvitar but the fairy stopped him, "Don't worry. Nursemaid Magmar will care for her. You'll see her again. My name is Celebi."
The Mobians introduced themselves and Sonic went to talk to Celebi but Elias walked first before him. "Hello Celebi," Elias advocated for his team, "I'll be the negotiator for my crew. I am King from our planet Mobius and we are looking for my little sister, the princess, Sally."
"What was that name?" Celebi asked.
"Sally-I"
"So you're the ones who have caused us so much trouble!"
Elias and the others looked to the right of Celebi and in came a pink guardian with a long tail. It was Mew.
"Because of you that giant steel-typed monster came to attack us!" Mew continued to shout and flap his tail up and down.
"Another talking animal," Sonic rolled his eyes and then caught onto what the pink creature was saying, "Wait, steel-typed monster? What's a steel-type?"
"You know, things made out of metal," Silver whispered into his right ear.
"I know what steel is but what I don't know is what a steel-type is!" Sonic bellowed at the now bewildered Silver. Silver chuckled and backed down anxiously away from Sonic.
"Steel-type," another Guardian came down. This time it was Jirachi, "Hello. My name is Jirachi and this pink guy is Mew. Sorry for having him yell at you. He gets a little scared of strangers."
"I do not!" Mew rasped.
"Anyways," Jirachi cleared his throat, motioning for Mew to be quiet, "Steel-types are mythical creatures like me. But you can be a dual-type and have two types. Like I'm just not steel, I'm also psychic."
"What?" Tails dipped his ears in confusion.
"It's like I was saying Tails," Nicole tried to explain, "On this planet, there are different types of species with different elemental types to them. Squirtle's a water type, Charmander's a fire type, and that Bulbasaur, I think that's its name, is a-um-"
"Grass type," the female Bulbasaur puffed out her chest in pride.
"Ah my stars," Bunnie put a hand to her lips and knelt down in front of the grass-type. She put on a hand on top of the Bulbasaur budding rose on top of her head to much of its protest of being handled. Bunnie flinched and pulled her hand away. "Uh, ahm sorry lil' fella. But ah think your one of the cutest lil' southern bell creatures ah've seen on this planet so far. I mean th' lil rose bud on yer head is adorable!"
"Not to mention Jirachi," Silver smiled humbly as he surveyed the little guardian. The silver hedgehog walked up to Jirachi and asked if he could hold Jirachi. The little guardian gave no answer but nodded sweetly. Silver took the Jirachi into his arms. Jirachi, loved being spoiled bounced up and down in the hedgehog's arms. "Aww….Awwww," Silver started to think that Jirachi was a baby now and began to tickle his tummy.
Jirachi laughed and bounced his feet in the air with enjoyment.
"These little guys would make great pets," Julie-Su bent down to a nearby mythical creature.
"That's enough!" shouted Mew, "We are not what you say "pets." We are a wily and proud people. And we do not like you on our territory."
During the whole conversation, King Elias had snuck his way over to his sister, Sally and took her into his arms. He asked her if she were okay and she nodded. Sonic looked up and saw the two Royal Acorns. A heartbeat later, he came over to Sally and pulled her into a hug. Soon, the two- person hug became a crowd as Knuckles, Julie-Su, Tails, Amy, except for Silver came around Sally to join the reunion.
"Are you okay Sal?" Knuckles asked gingerly.
"Yes, Knuckles," Sally embraced the rec echidna. Julie-Su and Sonic's fur stood on the back of their necks in jealousy but then they remembered the circumstance she had been through and their fur settled.
Sally let go of Knuckles and went over to Sonic. She looked at him with a sadden expression on her face and looked away to the ground. "Elias, Sonic, everyone, I-I don't know what to say for myself. I was roboticized and weaponized. There was no excuse for what I did and I-I'm so sorry!" The princess began to break into tears and fell to her knees.
Silver's ears drooped in despair. The traitor he was searching for was by default. He had come back in time to stop Sally from destroying his future but now she was on her knees crying for what Dr. Eggman forced onto her. Silver turned away and closed his eyes. Meanwhile, Sonic knelt down and picked up Sally.
"It's okay, Sal," he whispered, "After all, it was not your fault and you did give your free will to save Mobius of entire robotization."
"We could never blame you for what happened," Amy added her own words.
"Oh, how touching, I think I may throw up."
Sonic grit his teeth and swerved his head over to see which one had said that. It was not a familiar voice and he looked everywhere to punch the jerk who had said that.
"Up here smart one."
"Shaymin! Don't be mean."
The owner of the voices was Victini and Shaymin in flight mode. The orange and yellow creature was trying to get his friend to stop laughing. Shyamin floated down to Sonic and smirked at him. Sonic hissed and swung a fist at him but what too slow when Shaymin flew out of the way. Sonic slow?! Tails thought to himself. "You can't hit me," Shaymin rolled over in the air and basked in the sun, "I'm a legendary and that means, no one can be as fast, strong, or smart as us."
"You wanna bet you flying rat?" Sonic growled, "On my planet, I'm known for my sonic booms! That's why they call me Sonic!"
"Well I don't know what planet you came from but on ours, I'm the fastest thing around here!" Shaymin shouted.
"And the slowest in normal mode," giggled Victini.
"Shut it Victini!" Shaymin bared his fangs at the orange and yellow creature who whistled innocently. He took his attention back to Sonic and spat, "I bet I can beat you in a race right now to prove who the best is!"
"No you will not!" Celebi got in between the two, "I forbid it! I-!"
Before Celebi could finish, everyone was nearly blown away, either out of trees, from the ground, or water when Sonic and Shaymin made off. The two were face to face in their trail. Shaymin with a smirk and giggle on his face sped past Sonic with ease. Sonic, pricked his ears and leaned forward to get a better grip on his speed.
Blades of grass were torn from the ground as the two sped by. Shaymin whipped up clouds as he soared through them. The two were coming to a river and Shaymin gained up velocity and zoomed high over the mass amounts of water. Sonic was about to continue going until he saw the water and he stopped dead in his tracks. Shaymin looked back to see Sonic and laughed loud as he saw that the hedgehog was petrified of water.
"What? You scared of a little wa-wa?" he snickered.
"Shut up! I drown in crap like this!" Sonic sputtered up at the arrogant guardian.
"That's enough racing Sonic!" Sally shouted from nearly a mile away.
Sonic could not hear her. A decent mile was what the two had made since the journey into the Ilex Forest. The Ilex Forest is what Nicole dubbed the new territory. Sonic had no reason to return back to the others in failure. He knelt down on one knee, placed a hand to his right foot on the ground, and flexed his muscles. He got up and released a massive amount of energy. He made a sonic boom across the river and sped right past the laughing Shaymin. Before Shaymin knew what had happened the wharfs of water spiraling up from Sonic's velocity, got the guardian all wet. Sonic was already across the river and onto the other side of land.
The guardian peered over to see where Sonic was and the hedgehog was waving at him across the river.
"You son of a Tauros!" Shaymin cursed and flew after the hedgehog.
He crash landed into the blue dude and bit him on the ear. He hissed that no one would beat him in a race but Sonic pulled the little fellow off and sped on. Shaymin went after him in return. Sonic cut through the trees of forest with ease as Shaymin flew high overhead, his eyes never leaving the hedgehog. An idea hatched into Shaymin's head and he gave a devious look and flew up higher. He opened his mouth for a green aura to appear and shot the green ball down at Sonic.
The blast hit him in the back and the hedgehog flung forward and into the dirt. He spat up dirt and felt his sore back. It was aching like someone had hit him in the back with a baseball going forty-five miles an hour. Shaymin came down and laughed into his face as he hit Sonic in the back of his head.
"What was that?!" Sonic spat in question.
"An energy ball," Shaymin explained, "One of the fastest and best attacks of mine." He soared off with a big grin on his face.
"Why you little-"
Sonic picked up and dusted himself off. He gripped his hands and ran to catch the nuisance. When Sonic was under the floating Shaymin, he leapt into the air and curled himself into a ball. He collapsed into Shaymin, causing the little guardian to fall to the ground. "That's a figure-eight-spin-ball ya!" Sonic laughed and landed to the ground and continued the race.
Sonic got to two hundred feet until he realized no one was behind him. He stopped and looked up into the sky to see where the little Shaymin was. He looked left to right but no sign of his opponent. He wondered if his spin dash had hurt the mythical beast that much. He sped back to the location where he had knocked down Shaymin. In the center of the woods was Shaymin but not what he used to look like.
He looked like a hedgehog with a bush growing on his back and flowers for ears. Next to him, lay a pink and white flower that he wore on his right antler. Sonic came up to him and bent down next to the flower.
"Don't touch the flower!" Shaymin spat and got to his stubby little feet. He waddled over to the floral and picked it up by his jowls. He sat down on his rear and grabbed the flower into his hands and put it back onto his head. A bright light flashed around Shaymin's body and it shone white rays onto Sonic's face. The guardian looked peaceful returning to his old state and was flitted up into the sky in eye level with Sonic and was slowly returned back to his flight mode.
He shook his head to get rid of the dizziness and blinked open his green eyes.
"Wow," Sonic said, "What was that other form of yours?"
"That was my land form. I have two bodies but I can only go to sky form when I have my Gracidea flower with me. Usually they bloom higher into the mountains of Gracidean Mountain. There far away from here and not many Shaymin travel here to the Ilex Forest or so you call our forest. I was elected by a Council to come here and be with Mew, Celebi, Jirachi, and Victini. Soon there will be six of us. Keldeo will be born soon."
"Elected by a Council," Sonic whispered, nearly forgetting their previous race, "Who's this Keldeo?"
"Dunno," Shaymin twitched his ears, "All I know is that she's gonna be a girl. That's what royal nursemaid Magmar said and that she was given to us by the Swords of Justice. Keldeo will be a princess of this land and help us to protect the other mythical creatures living here once she's old enough."
"The Swords of Justice?" Sonic blinked quizzically.
"All in good time old sport," Shaymin closed his eyes and smiled at Sonic.
"That's a good question that we all could learn the answer of."
The two stopped in their tracks and looked over to see where the dark voice had come from. Coming out from behind a tree was a black hedgehog with white fur on his chest and red streaks running down his spines and arms. His red eyes glared from Shaymin to Sonic and back to Shaymin. He looked rather skeptical of the deer-like creature. Another appeared from the tree and out came a peach and white colored bat with a pink and purple skin-tight suit on. Her white boots were not even dirtied from her time being on this strange planet.
"Shadow! Rouge!" Sonic got into a defensive mode and Shaymin looked at him puzzled.
"You know these two?" Shaymin floated in front of Sonic's face.
"Yeah, one's a thief and the other's a faker!" Sonic pushed Shaymin out of the way to walk up to Shadow, "So, you came to do some damage to this planet too?"
"On the contrary, we were sent here just like you," Shadow ignored Sonic's words and looked over to the guardian, "What are you doing with that thing anyways?"
"I'm not a thing, I'm a mythical creature!" Shaymin said; the fur on his back rising.
His anger quickly sunk when Rouge the bat went up to the creature and placed a hand on his head and slid it down his neck and back, relaxing his fur. Shaymin felt love struck and floated awkwardly in the air. "Don't take it personally kid, Sunshine here doesn't actually like new people," Rouge said plainly.
Shaymin stuck his nose in the air proudly and puffed out his chest to show his "muscles." He floated around Rouge, scanning her body up and down and floated back up to her eye-level. "Well, madam, I'm a very nice person and very easy to get along with. I'd be happy—no honored—to have you two ask my guests back at our Sanctuary. I could show you the forest, the mountains, and maybe even-"
He was stopped when Rouge shoved a hand into his face and walked back to Shadow's side. "Sorry kid, but I got places to fly off to. People to see, you know how that goes," she stated simply.
"Oh!" Shaymin blushed, "I'm a flier too. I naturally soar fast through the clouds but I could soar a little slower for you."
"Don't flatter yourself, bub," Sonic sneered as he scratched under his nose with his index finger. He quickly pulled Shaymin away before Rouge had a chance to swat him. "Wait!" he gasped, "How are they understanding you?"
"Telepathy," Shaymin smiled back.
"We have no time for this," Shadow said, "listen, Sonic, we were south from here and we got wind of something terrible. Something that could end us and this world as we know it. If Mobius is truly gone, then we could stop this disaster and recolonize here on this planet."
"Wait, what disaster?" Sonic asked.
"We-"
Shadow was cut off when a small girl with blonde hair and orange and black trouser came out from the underbrush.
"Hope!" Rouge shouted and made her way over to the girl. She grabbed her before she could get over to Sonic and Shadow any further, "I told you to stay hidden with the others until we figured what we were going to do!"
"That's just it!" Hope panted, "My uncle, Dr. Eggman, is here with his ultimate machine! He's going to plow everyone. I had to leave the United Federation people to tell you!"
Applejackstar: Sorry for the long wait. I'm also an artist and have been painting portraits of peoples' pets and family members. Yep, besides my job, that's how I make my living. Anyways, let's see the chapter review.
Chapter Review: I wanted to show the legendaries as guardians to a small section of pokemon in the Ilex Forest. I also wanted to give each one a personality and to be honest; I think the scene to where Sonic and Shaymin race each other is just down right hilarious. Shaymin, I think, makes a good candidate with his attitude and mixture of personality, would make him the Sonic of his world. Here's the latest pokemon and trainer OC mixes.
Eevee: (female) Will be Sonic's future pokemon. Sassy and needs a lot to learn, I believe she's just like Sonic in every way and will eventually learn to bond greatly with him as her trainer.
Bulbasaur: (female) Bunnie's pokemon. A rosebud symbolizes herself as unique from other bulbasaur. She will be Bunnie's helper in her future hair salon and beauty pageants with her attacks, petal dance and razor leaf
Eevee: (male) Will be Sally's future pokemon. Cowardly but strong at heart, he will defend the royal family with all his might.
Pichu: (male) Tail's future pokemon. He's Celebi's apprentice in magic. Will be immature at first but will eventually be a negotiator of peace among pokemon and Mobians.
Lillipup: (male) Antione's pokemon. Wily, proud, and loves to party with girls. lol
Volbeat: (male) Hope's pokemon. Skittish and shy
