Back in the Pokémon world, the outside of the Battle Tower still looked like a war zone. From the nearby bushes, three heads popped up to check if the close was clear.

"Th-They're just gone." stated the blue haired man in surprise.

"Yeah. Where do you think they went, nya?" asked the small cat-like Pokémon.

"Who cares? I say we sneak in and steal all the Pokémon from the tower," said the redheaded woman as she stood and went to go inside.

Her two companions just looked at each other and silently wondered what they did to be teamed up with her sometimes.

"Kojiro! Meowth! Get in gear now!" screeched the woman.

"Coming, Musashi!" said both Kojiro and Meowth as they scrambled to follow.

Once inside, Team Rocket saw the damage that was done when Cipher infiltrated earlier. When they reached the battlefield they saw the body of a man lying in the middle in a small pool of blood. Meowth and Kojiro went over to check on him while Musashi went to look for Pokémon.

"Is he…?" asked Meowth.

"No. He's still alive, but barely." responded Kojiro as he checked the man's pulse. "We need to get him to a hospital, ASAP."

Kojiro carefully picked up the body and made his way to the door. He was stopped when he heard Musashi.

"Kojiro! Put him down so we can get out of here! There were no Pokémon to steal."

"What's going on here?"

Team Rocket turned to see a portly man wearing shades and a Hawaiian shirt glaring at them.

"We didn't do anything!" cried Kojiro.

"That's right, nya! We came in here and saw the place as is and the guy on Koji's back in bad shape, nya! We were about to take him to the hospital, nya!" explained Meowth.

"Th-There telling the truth, Enishida." coughed the man on Kojiro's back. Enishida's eyes widen behind his shades.

"Come on. You can explain to me what happened on the way to the hospital," said Enishida as he went out the door to his car. Team Rocket followed.

-:-

Meanwhile in Pallet Town, Dr. Yukinari Okido was doing research when his assistant, Kenji, came running in.

"Dr. Okido! Dr. Okido! You got phone call and it sounded really urgent! Its about Sato!"

"Nani?"

Dr. Okido hurried to the vid-phone to see Enishida on the screen.

"What's going on, Enishida? What happened to Sato?" asked the good doctor.

"It's like this Dr. Okido," said Enishida.

Enishida couldn't tell Dr. Okido much. The only thing he could tell him was what Team Rocket told him. About how Cipher attacked the Battle Tower and how the combined Future Sight and Thunder caused some weird effect that made everyone disappear. He also explained how he found the state the Battle Tower was in and that Kojiro was about to take the tower's referee to the hospital.

"What exactly does this Cipher want with Lila?" asked Dr. Okido.

"From what I'm told, they wanted to use her ability to create something called Shadow Humans."

Dr. Okido's eyes widened at that. He remembered hearing something about shadows in the Orre region from his colleague, Krane. Dr. Okido didn't think it was possible to create Shadow Humans. He just hoped that it never came to be.

-:-

"It seems that the humans are having problems," said the white dragon.

"Not all of them, brother. Just the ones closest to the Chosen One." said the purple dragon.

"Don't tell me that there's another prophecy involving that child?" questioned the black dragon.

"Dialga, Palkia, Giratina, what is happening in the human world?" asked a large gray Pokémon with a gold ring around his body.

"Arceus-sama!" cried the Deity Dragon Trio.

The Original One looked at what his sons were looking at. He was surprised by what he saw.

"It seems that those humans were sent to another world," stated the god Pokémon as he turned to leave.

"Where are you going, Arceus-sama?" asked Dialga.

"The humans closest to Sato won't be able to figure out what happened to him fast enough to try and bring him and his friends home. I'm going to give them the help needed."

With that, Arceus left.

-:-

Hours later, a meeting was called at Ever Grande City to determine what was to be done about Cipher and Sato, Lila, and Takeshi's disappearance. The meeting consisted of Dr. Okido, Wataru, Daigo, Mikuri, Shirona, and Jindai, who was there on the account that Lila was the target of Cipher.

"So this organization, Cipher, wants to turn humans into weapons?" asked Daigo as if it was something from science fiction coming to life.

"It seems that way, Daigo. I'm surprised that they're even trying such a thing when they had fallen twice after attempting to turn Pokémon into weapons the same way." said Dr. Okido.

"What makes this worse is that those bastards want to use Lila to help them achieve this!" shouted Jindai as he slammed his fist on the table.

"Arceus forbid should Goyo and Itsuki find out. I know they have a right, but I really don't want to deal with their behavior," said Shirona.

"I thought only Goyo was the overprotective brother," wondered Mikuri.

"Trust me, Itsuki can be just as bad. Though he only gets like that when Lila is in danger," said Wataru.

Before anything else could be said, there was a commotion outside the room. The burst open and revealed an angry Goyo trying to get in, but was being held back by his younger brother Itsuki and a redheaded woman wearing glasses.

"Let me go! I want answers, damn it!" yelled Goyo.

"And you don't think I don't!" yelled Itsuki. "Settle down, Aniki, so we can get answers."

"What are you two doing here?" questioned Shirona as she glared down at the two brothers. That was when the redheaded woman spoke up.

"My apologies, Shirona-misu, but that baka, Oba, found out about what happened at the Kanto Battle Tower and made the mistake of telling Goyo-kun and Itsuki."

Shirona could feel a vein twitch on her forehead after learning that Oba did something so stupid. Oh he was so going to get it. Denzi, too, seeing as how it was most likely he had something to do with it.

"Thank you for telling me, Kanna." replied Shirona.

"Shirona, I demand to know what happened to Lila!" said Goyo.

"Goyo, when we find out what did happen, we will tell both you and Itsuki." explained Dr. Okido.

"You humans won't be able to find out."

Everyone turned to the door to see a man wearing a white robe with gold trim. He had long gray and black hair and green eyes.

"Before any of you say anything, I know what had happened to Sato and his friends." said the man.

"What happened?" asked Itsuki.

"It seems that when Pikachu's Thunder collided with Dusknoir's Future Sight, it created a gate way that sent everyone there to another world," explained the man.

Everyone looked at the man as if he was crazy. Mikuri was bold enough to ask the question on everyone's minds.

"And you know this how?"

"It is easy to know something when one is the Original One." grinned the man.

"Wait, the Original One? You're telling us that you are Arceus?" questioned Wataru.

"That I am. I will prove it too. Just gather all of the Gym Leaders, Elite Four members, Frontier Brains, and those close to Sato. All will be explained then."

Arceus then left them to do what he asked.

-:-

Everyone has been gathered and they were wondering what was going on.

"Any chance you know what's going on, Shigeru?"

"I know just as much as you, Kasumi," replied the researcher. Kasumi nodded and then noticed Haruka and Hikari had walked over.

As everyone was talking amongst them selves, Human-form Arceus walked into the room. When he noticed that they weren't paying attention, he grinned and let of some energy that made everyone look in his direction.

"Glad to see everyone is paying attention."

"Hey, who are you?" demanded Kasumi.

Ignoring the girl, Arceus created a viewing screen and showed everyone what had happened at the Kanto Battle Tower. To say those who did not know were shocked was like saying the sky was blue.

"What happened to Sato-niisan?" cried Hikari.

"In simplest terms, he, Lila, Takeshi, and Cipher were sent to another world," answered Arceus. "I will be able to bring them back, but it will take a while to do so."

"What do you mean, Arceus?" questioned Dr. Okido.

"If I were to create another gate way, it could disrupt the balance between the worlds. I will be able to do so within three days." explained Arceus. "I do ask though that a team be created to go into the other world and help stop Cipher."

"If a team is needed, then I volunteer myself to go and stop them!" exclaimed Wataru. Arceus just shook his head.

"I'd have to decline, Wataru. Strong trainers will be needed, but I believe that the Regional Champions should stay. Just in case if any members of Cipher are still here in this world. Kyo, I ask that you be the one to lead this team," stated Arceus.

The former Fuchsia City Gym Leader came down to the lower level and stood in front of the god Pokémon.

"May I ask for the reason I am picked as team leader?" asked the Poisonous Ninja Master.

"If you must know, the world that Sato and the others were sent to is a world filled with ninja. I had figured you would be the best choice to send," explained Arceus.

"Hmm, very well then. I accept. Who else shall be on this team?" asked Kyo.

"That is up for you to decide. I'm sure you'll be able to make the right ones for the mission."

Kyo nodded in confidence. He already had a few people in mind.

-:-

Back in the Ninja Realm, an underground meeting was taking place between two evil beings.

"Kukuku, very interesting, Jakira." laughed a snake-like man. "What is in it for me, should I lend my services?"

"Merely the fact that your Oto Ninja could be infused with Shadow Powers and be under your command, Orochimaru." grinned Jakira.

While the two evil masterminds were planning on creating Shadow Ninja, Borg was talking with Kabuto and Sasuke.

"These Pokémon of yours are astounding," said Kabuto as he studied Crobat.

"Yes, they can be even more astounding once their hearts have been sealed away and become Shadow Pokémon." smirked the Cipher scientist.

"Hn, these creatures don't look so powerful," said the last 'loyal' Uchiha.

"Kukuku, now Sasuke-kun, you should know better to underestimate someone. I believe you almost lost to Naruto at the Valley of the End because you underestimated him," laughed Orochimaru. Sasuke glared at his sensei.

"That dobe got lucky and nothing more! I will kill him and gain the power I need to kill Itachi!"

"Whatever you say, Sasuke-kun." smiled the Snake Ninja. "Now Jakira, what is it that you need?"

"If my guess is correct, the girl we need has also come to this world. Her name is Tengan Lila and she has a power that will help in the Shadow Making Process. I would like to have her within my grasp."

Orochimaru gave off a wicked grin. He then glanced at Sasuke as he made his next statement.

"Maybe once you've used the girl for what you need her for, she can be given to Sasuke-kun so he can rebuild his clan. Think of it Sasuke-kun. A clan that possesses both the Sharingan and the ability to use telepathy."

"Hn. As long as she is worthy," said Sasuke as he walked out of the room. Borg watched as the Dark Avenger left. He then turned to Kabuto.

"Arrogant little child, isn't he?" asked the scientist. Kabuto nodded in agreement.

Orochimaru, ignoring the two assistants, stood from his throne and lead Jakira to the back where they made the plans to create the ultimate Shadow Ninja Army.

CHAPTER END

-:-

Sorry it took so long for this chapter to come out. I've been swamped.

A look into what was happening in Sato's world. Arceus, as you can see, is going to help get Sato and the others back. Though Cipher will have to be dealt with first. I already have five people in mind to accompany Kyo to Naruto's world and I'll have a poll up on my FanFiction profile to determine the last two members.

If you're wondering why Goyo and Itsuki are Lila's older brothers, read my one-shots 'An Overprotective Ability' and 'Christmas With Her Family'. I should already have explanations about it in those.

If Kojiro and Meowth seemed OOC, its because I believe that even they wouldn't leave a man to die.
