Author's note: Sorry for the long delay, but I had writer's block for this story as well as three others, currently focusing on five, discontinued two since they weren't getting any much support. Oh, and someone extremely powerful will play a role in this, as a hint for the next saga of "Sailor Moon Continuum" after the "Chaos Saga" which is what I'm currently working on right now in this series of "Sailor Moon Continuum".
To the Guest out there: Thank you for reviewing this story. I'll do my best to continue it as much as possible.
In the meantime, let's continue. I don't own anything here.
Part three: From Kalos to Orre?
Alain was at a table in the resturant, waiting to be served and to meet his next opponent. He knew that he would be going up against the Elite Four, but he wanted to test out his and Charizard's strengths now more than ever. On time, the man himself approached him, as he was the main owner of the resturant.
"How may I help you?" Greeted Siebold, bowing in respect.
Alain nodded, replying, "I would like your specials."
The blond-haired man gazed at the youngerish man and noticed the band-wrist on Alain's wrist, as well as a familiar Keystone. Siebold smiled, knowing what this young costumer was really asking, and nodded, "Very well."
Suddenly, Mairin appeared out of nowhere and panted as she made it to Alain's table, saying, "Hey! I was looking for you!" much to Alain's embarrassment. Didn't this girl know when to leave him alone? She must be overly curious on Mega Evolution battles.
"Why hello there." Siebold greeted to the young ten year old, "Are you his companion?"
"Sort of." Mairin replied as she looked at the man next to her, but then she quickly realised who she was talking to, and cried out excitedly, "It's really you!" as she was very close to her idiol.
Siebold chuckled, "And I take this young lady will be joining us." he said to Alain who mentally grumbled. Siebold felt honored to have a challenger to battle and a fan of his to witness the battle, and a young one at that.
After having lunch, the three of them entered the Stadium at the back, and while Mairin and Chespie watched from the audience seats, Alain and Siebold both got into position for their Mega Evolution Battle. Both men realised their Pokemon, which while Charizard appeared, Siebold's choice of Pokemon was a Blastoise, which Mairin noticed and she became both worried and astondied.
Charizard and Blastoise...she'd seen a similiar battle of those two types of Pokemon before...two years ago when she was only eight.
'Those are the same Pokemon Ash Ketchum and his opponent Gary used in the Johto League...' Mairin thought in her mind. She wondered how this battle would turn out. She recalled, as she and her parents witnessed on TV, despite the disadvantage, Ash's Charizard defeated Gary's Blastoise after a long and hard battle. Then again, Mairin had no idea about Mega Evolution, and Ash and Gary didn't mega evolve their Pokemon either.
Siebold mentioned the disadvantage, but Alain stated that he wants to only have his Charizard to win all of his battles with Mega evolved Pokemon, before the two of them mega evolved their Pokemon, and it was time for the battle to begin.
(The Tumbling-KH BBS)"Let's begin the battle. You may go first, Alain." Siebold offered.
Alain took the offer and commanded Charizard, "Dragon Claw!"
Charizard once again extended it's claws which turned blue and charged straight at Blastoise who was told by Siebold to use Hyrdo Pump, but the attack missed, however, by the time Charizard made it, it collided with Blastoise's Skull Bash attack, and both Pokemon hit, but got back up. Siebold was impressed by Charizard's speed and power.
However, Blastoise then fired Dragon-Pulse which knocked Charizard hard to the ground, and then was hit by another Hyrdo Pump. However, with Alain's instructions, "Charge!" Charizard charged straight through the Hydro Pump straight at the water opponent.
"Power up Punch!" Siebold commanded.
"Flamethrower!" Alain commanded.
Both Pokemon powered up their attacks and hit full on at full power, hurting both Pokemon who were knocked back quite hard. Finally, Charizard charged full on with another Dragon Claw attack, but realised too late it's and Alain's mistake.
"Let's finish this! Blastoise, use Dragon Pulse!" Siebold commanded.
Blastoise launches a very powerful Dragon Pulse which caught Charizard off guard, knocking the fire-type Pokemon right to the ground, and defeated in the battle. The Match was over. (End The Tumbling)
"Charizard!" Alain cried out, as his Pokemon turned back to normal, as he rushed over to see if his friend was alright. Relieved that Charizard would be alright, he smiled while rubbing it's neck supportingly, "You were great. We're no match for the Elite Four just yet." and Charizard nodded it's thanks.
After Blastoise also returned to normal, Siebold nodded in approvement, "You Charizard was very powerful to corner us, even at the disadvantage. Some more training, and someday will may end up defeating me and my Blastoise the next time we meet."
"Thank you." Alain nodded.
Despite that she was disappointed that Alain lost, Mairin was still amazed at the battle of the two of them. Still, even she knew that Alain was no match for the Elite Four just yet, but it was still an exciting battle.
While Mairin gazed at the battle field, Chespie, who was in his trainer's arms and also witnessed the battle, then sensed something and looked to his left. Blinking in confusion, at the wall outside of the battlefield, there was a green floating Pokemon who noticed Chespie, before flying away to avoid in being fully seen.
'(What was that?)' Chespie thought to himself.
As the sun had already began to set, Alain and Mairin both decided to stay in Lumoise City's Pokemon Centre for the night before they would continued their jouney/journies tomorrow. Alain knew that he and his Charizard still had a lot of work to do to become stronger, but the match against Siebold did put both of them into a good mood despite the loss of the battle. Mairin was still amazed by the power of Mega Evolution, and as she feed her two Pokemon-Chespie and Bébé, she had decided what her own goal is as a trainer; to learn more about Mega Evolution and one day gain her own Mega stones.
First, she had to be an aspiring trainer.
"Alain and Charizard's battles were awesome today, huh?" Mairin asked Chespie who nodded as he ate the Pokemon food, while Bébé ate the sweet honey her new trainer offered. "And the Mega Evolution is so cool too." Mairin continued. "I know that we'll find out more about it. What do you guys think?"
Her two Pokemon didn't hesitate in agreeing with her, and all three of them smiled happily. Then she noticed that Alain and Charizard were missing again, and Mairin looked around, wondering where he was. She then sighed and grumbled, "Boy that guy needs to be more soicible." placing her hands on her hips as she had stood up. Chespie echoed her grumble and did the same as his trainer, while Bébé tilted her head slightly to the side in confusion.
(Water Temptation-CCS movie 1)"Ash...Wes...Rui...Alain...Mairin..." a voice suddenly spoke out, sounding echo and distant that snapped Mairin back to her senses, and even her Pokemon heard the mysterious voice of a man.
Blinking, Mairin turned to look at Nurse Joy who noticed her confusion, and the young trainer asked, "Excuse me, but did you say something Nurse Joy?"
"Not a word." Nurse Joy replied.
"You heard it, right Chespie and Bébé?" Mairin asked her Pokemon who nodded, and all three of them looked around to see who was speaking to them, but no one else seemed to have talked to them. Then Mairin came to another salution, and became spooked out, and muttered, "Then...if nobody else talked to me...then maybe it's a Ghost, and it even knows my name!" to which her Pokemon also shivered, getting spooked out.
But then Mairin also realised, "And it said Ash Ketchum's name and...Alain's name too! But...who're Wes and Rui?" now she was getting anixious and confused. This never happened before. Now worried that there might be trouble, Mairin turned to her Pokemon and told them, "C'mon, let's find Alain and see if he's okay." before recalling Bébé to it's pokeball and carried Chespie in her arms before going on a search for the teen.(End Water Temptation)
While everyone else were unaware of Young Xehanort being forced to retreat as he had a battle with three time-travellers who were trying to find a way to save the Realm of Light, looking for one's sister and another to find their friend and stop another villian from winning, and which also forced Master Xehanort to retreat.
"It seemed that we cannot prevent Alain from travelling back in time." Master Xehanort grunted in annoyance as he glared at...Sailor Hope, Serah and Noel who followed him and his younger-self to another time.
(Tory/Tori's theme-PKM: Destiny Deoxys)Alain in the meantime was in one of the guest bedrooms, lying in one of the bunkers, and thought deeply about his journey so far. He gazed at the Mega Stone he found earlier in that temple, and still had no idea on what kind of Pokemon would use it.
He also felt uneasy all day, and despite all of his battles today that got him distracted, not to mention that Mairin kind of helped in that distraction, the uneasiness just wouldn't go away.
"Ash...Wes...Rui...Alain...Mairin..." a voice echoed, causing Alain to jolted up and he demanded, "Who's there!?" only to find that he was still alone in the room. Glancing around looking for the source, and not finding anyone, the teen sighed, and muttered, "I must be hearing things." though his gut was telling him otherwise. Plus, not only the voice said his name, but it also said Mairin's, as well as the young Pokemon Master Ash Ketchum he heard about earlier today. And just who were Wes and Rui?
A sudden flash of green light brought Alain back to reality, and as he looked to his left, he had to shield his eyes with his arm, as the light vanished, and a floating Pokemon appeared before him. As he lowered his arm, Alain's eyes widened in disbelief. He recongised this Pokemon from the images and research, but to see it for real...it was unbelievable. "A Celebi...? No way." he muttered, stunned in amazement and shock. (End Tory/Tori's theme)
As Mairin and Chespie searched through the halls of the Pokemon Centre, they both noticed a small green light shining through a door to their right, and, curious on what it was, both silently approached it, and gently opened the door slightly to peek. Mairin and Chespie both gapped that Alain was there, and he seemed...surprised.
"Wonder what Alain's looking at?" Mairin whispered.
"Chespin..." Chespie whispered.
Both then noticed Celebi fly a bit closer to Alain who blinked on confusion on being this close to a legendary Pokemon. Mairin, being a rookie trainer, had no idea about Celebi at all. "What's that? A Pokemon?" Mairin asked softly.
"Ches..." Chespie muttered in amazement.
"Where...where did you come from?" Alain asked Celebi, even though he knew that it probably wouldn't understand him.
However, Celebi, who had made it's final decision for help, nodded, before once again glowing in a bright green light, and Alain was frozen in amazement, before he gave out a cry as he started glowing as well, and then the entire room was engulfed. It nearly blinded Mairin and Chespie who both gasped in horror as Alain began to disappear suddenly.
"Alain!?" Mairin cried out, as she bursted through the door, but she had to cover her eyes with her right arm, as she still held Chespie in her left, while Chespie covered his eyes with his hands. However, they were unfortunately caught in the time-rift and they too were glowing, which they both noticed and gasped. "What's happening!?" Mairin cried out, feeling scared.
"Ches!?" Chespie cried out, just as shocked as his trainer.
Celebi, who had taken Alain through time, also carried Mairin and Chespie, who both screamed and held onto each other and braced for the worst. Then...the light vanished, along with the two trainers and their Pokemon. The room was empty.
The Legendary Pokemon had taken them through time.
Back in the past...Seven years previously...
After taking break at the station, and witnessing a young man who had and Espeon and an Umbreon battle against another trainer with two Zigzagoons, before the young seventeen year old boy with the silver hair and blue coat drove away on the bike, Alistair stretched, and cringed as his bones cracked a little.
"Man, I'm only thirty years old and yet I'm out of shape." he grumbled to himself. "Then again, I haven't travelled in such a long time. Better make this journey as quick as possible, or I'll miss out Ash's birthday."
Taking out a Pokeball, Alistair called out, "Ferrow, I choose you!" and threw the ball into the air, and from a flash of light from the Pokeball, one of his old companions, Ferrow, appeared, squarking. It was about three times bigger than a normal sized Ferrow, but Alistair trained it well through out his time as a Pokemon trainer.
"Ferrow, let's head over to Phenac City. I've got a feeling that something's about to happen there." Alistair said, "And, this may be our last journey together with the others, old friend." stroking his Pokemon's neck with Ferrow enjoyed quite a lot.
Suddenly, a green light glittered above their heads, and as Alistair and Ferrow looked up, wondering what it was, their eyes widened as a green portal opened up through the rift of Space and Time. The next thing they knew, they heard screams, and then...Mairin and Chespie came falling out of it, screaming.
Alistair who yelped, clumsily tried to catch them, calling, "I gotcha! I gotcha! I gotcha, I gotch-OW!" only to have Mairin to fall right on top of him and he collasped to the ground, landing on his back and butt. Chespie landed onto Ferrow's head, and the force of that landing caused the bird-Pokemon to also collaspe to the ground.
(Innocent Times-KH: BBS)Everyone groaned, as they all slowly sat up, and Mairin rolled off Alistair who groaned. The young trainer noticed that she landed on top of a man too hard and she cried out, slightly panicking, "Ah! I'm-I'm so sorry, sir! I didn't mean to land on you!"
"That's fine." Alistair weakly smiled, as he sat up, chuckling in embarrassment, "I really should go back to 'How to save people from falling' school." in a hint of a joke. While Chespie got off Ferrow and rubbed the back of his neck, mumbling an apology to the Ferrow who sighed, and probably grumbled to itself, "(Why do I always end up being the featherly pillow for landings?)"
"Are you okay?" Mairin asked, worriedly.
"I'll live." Alistair replied, "It's not the first time anyone's crash landed on me, and it probably won't be the last either." as he stood up, and offered the young girl his hand, which she took, and he pulled her up, "Ally-oop." he muttered while doing this, while Chespie and Ferrow stood up as well.
"I'm really sorry." Mairin repeated her apology.
"That's okay. As long as you and your Pokemon are both alright." Alistair replied, before asking, "So, where'd you come from?"
(End Innocent Times)
"Uh...From the Pokemon Centre in Limoise City?" Mairin answered, as she looked around and realised that she and Chespie were no longer in said Pokemon Centre. "But now I have no idea where we are..." before she remembered how it all happened and panicked again, "Alain! Where's Alain?" she and Chespie looked around, but found no signs of the teenaged trainer or his Charizard.
As if expecting it, Alistair sighed, "I knew it. This is Celebi's doing."
"Huh? Celebi?" Mairin asked, puzzled.
"Tell you what," Alistair began, "I can help you find your friend and then I'll tell you guys how you got here to the Orre region."
"The...Orre region!?" Mairin cried out, shocked, "But that's crazy! I can't be the Orre region! I only just began my journey in Kalos!"
"So you're a starter trainer." Alistair thought, "Don't worry. It's normal to be confused when you're experiencing your first time-travel."
"Time travel?" Mairin asked, then muttered, "Now I'm really confused."
"(Yeah, me too.)" Chespie echoed the same confusion.
"Poor kids." Alistair muttered to Ferrow who nodded in agreement. The older trainer then said, "Anyway, come with me and we can find your friend and then figure out how to get you guys home."
"Really?" Mairin asked, stunned.
"Yeah." Alistair replied.
The young girl smiled happily and she said, "Thank you so much!" then introduced herself, "My name's Mairin," then gestured and introduced Chespie, contining, "and this is my awesome partner, Chespie the Chespin!" to which Chespie echoed a friendly hello.
"Chespin...a Pokemon from Kalos." Alistair thought, "Great choice for a starter." before introducing himself, "I'm Alistair from Pallet Town of Kanto."
(World Map-PKM Colosseum)After the greeting, Alistair helped Mairin and Chespie up onto Ferrow's back, before climbing on himself, and told the young trainer and her Pokemon, "Hold on tight, Mairin."
"Okay." Mairin nodded, feeling a little nervous. "Better hang on, Chespie." she told her Pokemon who nodded, more nervous than his trainer.
"Alright, Ferrow, full speed ahead to Phenac City." Alistair told his Pokemon who squarked once more, and took flight, flipping it's wings to lift itself and it's passengers off the ground and took flight into the skies of Orre, flying in full speed towards their next destination.
To find Alain and on an unexpected journey that would change their lives and the lives of two other young people forever.(End World Map)
A/N: As you can see, the adventure has began! In the next chapter, the group will be completed and the journey to save Orre and to find Celebi has began...Sorry if I gave out the spoilers. :P
