Don't worry guys and gals I won't keep you waiting, here are the questions posted since the last chapter.

Toy2711: Actually this is set in the middle of Volume 1. I suppose I should have made it clearer but this crossover will consist of both original arcs like the 'Intro arc' now and retellings of the show, such as the next arc the 'Semi-Volume 1 arc'.

Jyoster: I've been expecting this one. I'll be blunt: I don't plan on giving the RWBY cast Pokémon. (gasps and booing ensues) All right, all right settle down. I don't want to explain my full reasoning here but in a nutshell, I don't think adding them will be right for my story. Sorry to disappoint anyone expecting that.

With that out of the way, let's continue from where we left off!

The darkness started to fade and light entered to reveal… More darkness. More accurately the night time sky, blanketed with stars and a cool breeze wafting through the air.

"Uuuuugh." Kai groaned into the night. "What happened? Where am I?"

Kai carefully got himself to an upright position. Every part of him ached especially the back of his head, but he was alive and didn't have anything broken, so there was that.

"The last thing I remember was… Ugh- a bright light. No wait there was-"

Kai started to remember everything that happened in Lumiose city and slowly got on to his feet.

"So if I was inside of a collapsing building and saw a bright light then… Oh my Arceus I'm dead!" He shouted.

"No wait that's ridiculous I'm breathing dead people don't breathe, or maybe I'm just doing it out of habit. Wait I'm in pain do ghosts feel pain- wait ghost types get hurt so they must feel pain!" Kai was clumsily staggering around his current environment mumbling to himself. The land was mostly barren and made up of jagged rock, there was some moss here and there and he thought he saw a couple of trees but it was nothing like anything he'd seen before.

"Come on Kai think rationally. You're obviously alive right now, but you don't know where you are or how you got here. That's fine I just need to find something familiar, maybe I can track the stars just like old explorers could-"

Kai's jaw dropped when he saw up in the air was the moon, with part of it broken off.

"…What the f-"

A loud howl caught Kai off guard and made him scour his surroundings in a panic.

"… It-it's probably nothing. Just my imagination playing tricks on me. Right? Right! Right?"

He heard an unpleasant scraping, like nails on a chalkboard and he started trembling.

"C- Calm down. This is fine, it's just… Been a very bad day. You're just a little jumpy that's all, just take a few breaths, and calm your nerves."

Kai started to take a breath when a dark creature lunged from the darkness causing him to splutter. The creature looked similar to a bipedal wolf and had a black body with white bone like extrusions coming from its: spine, arms and legs as well as bone-like claws. Its face was also covered in a bone-like structure giving it the appearance of a mask. Red marks ran down its bony face leading to its eyes which had red lenses and yellow pupils that seemed to glow leaving behind a trail of light.

"Okay. You don't look familiar let's see what you are."

Kai pulled out a thin card shaped device with a holographic centre. He opened it and the two ends separated revealing a holographic interior, which Kai positioned to scan the creature.

- NO DATA -

"That's… New."

The creature walked slowly on all fours towards Kai, making a low growling noise as it did. Kai slowly went for one of his Poké balls trying not to alarm the thing. As he grabbed one and held it in his hand, he stared deep into the creatures eyes, but where most would be feeling dread, Kai felt excitement.

"It's not every day you find a new Pokémon species. I wonder if I get to name you."

Kai threw the ball in the air. "Let's go buddy!"

The ball opened and Greninja came out. "Okay Kai I've got questions: firstly what was with all that rumbl-"

The creature suddenly jumped at Greninja and sank its teeth into his front leg. Greninja winced but then looked at it.

"Do you mind? I'm trying to have a conversation here!" The creatures jaw loosened and Greninja jumped away from it.

"That looked like Bite. Maybe it's a dark type." Kai muttered under its breath.

"Yeah Kai that's great and all- mind giving me some commands!" Greninja interrupted.

"Oh right. Greninja use Water Shuriken!"

Greninja put its front feet together and threw four shurikens at the creature. Each one cut into its flesh (?) and after the last one made impact in its gut it collapsed to the ground.

"Well. That was something I guess." Greninja questioned. "Must have been a low level."

"Um Greninja." Kai said alarmed.

"Hm?" Greninja looked at Kai only for him to point at the creatures' body disintegrating into nothing. The two stayed silent for a minute.

"Well that's not normal." Greninja stated.

"Oh really, what was your first guess?" Kai asked sarcastically.

"Wait a minute." Greninja stood in silence scanning the surroundings and feeling the air. "We're not in Kalos anymore."

"What?"

"It's hard to explain but I can just tell. Pokémon are more in tune with nature than you humans so maybe it's like a sixth sense or something."

"No, I… I get that it's just-" Kai put his hand to his forehead and felt disoriented.

"Look Kai, something funny was going on earlier. First there were the loud noises, then there were screams, and now that I'm finally out of my ball I can see that something big was going on. So spill it, I need to know."

"… I…"

"Kai… Please."

Kai looked down at the ground then back into the sky where he looked again at the broken moon then he looked at the place where the creature once stood.

"Okay it all started when-"

Kai lost his balance and fell to the ground, his vision grew hazy and his hearing became muffled. He felt his hat fall off and when he touched his head it felt wet. He looked at his hand to see it covered with blood.

'How long has that been there?' He thought.

"Kai… Kai! Stay with me buddy!" Greninjas muffled voice echoed in his head.

He felt himself going unconscious again, before he did he saw Greninja over him acting panicked and quickly grabbing him, before the darkness returned.

Kai woke up to a bright light that he shielded himself from with his hand. As his eyes adjusted he found himself in a doctor's office: the walls were a lime green and the ceiling was white, there was a window on one wall that showed the night sky, and on another wall was a clock that showed the time was '8:15pm'. Kai was currently lying down on a bed in a far corner and in the other corner was a woman at a desk looking at a computer screen.

"Uuugh." He moaned.

The woman swivelled her chair and turned towards Kai before getting up and walking towards him.

"Good, you're awake. How are you feeling?"

Kai rubbed his eyes and stretched before facing the woman. "Kind of achy, But not as bad as before-ore- ore- ore- ore- ore."

Kai trailed off when he saw the woman up close. She had short purple hair and clammy pale skin which contrasted with her dark purple lipstick and bright lilac eyes. She wore a white doctor's coat, a stethoscope around her neck and blue nurse's scrubs underneath. But the thing that caught Kai's attention the most was that she had a pair of dog ears on her head that reminded Kai of a Poochyenas.

"Are you okay sir?" She asked politely.

Kai managed to stop himself from speaking. "… I am very confused right now."

"Well that's understandable given what happened to you. You were lucky someone found you when you did."

"Someone found me?" Kai asked confused.

"So you don't know who it was either huh." She grabbed her stethoscope and started putting it in her ears. "I was just about to close up for the night when I get a knock on my door- shirt please."

She pointed at Kai's chest and Kai lifted his yellow shirt up in response. She placed the stethoscope on his body and Kai shuddered momentarily from the cold metal.

"You were saying about a knock on your door." Kai said.

The woman moved the stethoscope to another part of Kai's chest and continued her examination. "Hm? Oh that. Well when I opened the door I saw you there passed out with a head wound, and me being a doctor I couldn't just leave you there. So I brought you inside, dressed the wound and put you in the bed, still I had to wait hours for you to wake up so be thankful you came when you did."

"Right. Thank you for all this."

The woman shrugged. "It's no problem."

She removed the stethoscope from Kai's chest, took it out of her ears and placed it back on her neck.

"Well your vitals seem fine, but I need to check if you have a concussion before I can safely discharge you." She walked to her desk and started rummaging through her desk drawers.

Kai twiddled his thumbs before putting his hands together. "Listen. Doctor…"

"Amethyst. Doctor Amethyst."

"Right, well Doctor Amethyst. Can you please tell me where I am?"

Doctor Amethyst stopped rummaging through her drawer and turned around to see Kai.

"You're in my general practice where I'm-"

"No! I know that, I mean. Where am I? This city, or town, or Route or Region or wherever."

Doctor Amethyst paused for a moment. "You're in the city of Vale."

"Vale huh. And where in the world is that?"

The doctor looked at Kai with a very confused face. "The kingdom of Vale duh, don't you remember how you got here?"

Kai scratched his head. "No not really. There was a bright light, a blow to the back of my head. Then I wake up in the mountains come face to face with some black, disintegrating wolf thing then-"

"Wait you were ambushed by a Grimm?"

"A Grimm? Is that what that thing was called?" Kai asked.

Doctor Amethyst paced around the room anxiously while Kai watched in confusion. While he was waiting for her to stop he quickly thought about his possessions and quickly looked frantically around him and saw his hat and his backpack on the floor next to his bed, when he opened his backpack he saw his Poké balls stashed inside.

'Phew glad everyone's safe. Wait a minute what about-'

"I'm going to need to ask you some questions." Doctor Amethyst interrupted Kai's train of thought.

"Why?"

"Because if your answers support my diagnosis, then I'm afraid you're in more serious condition then I feared."

Kai started to stress and he felt a lump in his throat.

"What is it?" He asked nervously.

"If I'm right, then I'm afraid you might have a serious case of amnesia."

Kai froze for a moment, but then started breathing normally and regaining his calm.

"Okay, ask away."

Dr Amethyst proceeded to ask and then educate Kai about where he ended up. The four kingdoms, The Grimm, Huntsman, Dust, Faunus; Kai had learned the basic foundations of Remnant in the span of a single doctor's appointment. When she had finished her questions she proceeded to finish Kai's physical examination and then let him go. As he started to get up and go Kai noticed that the clock was now at '9:55pm'. He then turned around and looked at the doctor.

"Thank you again for everything."

"I just wish I could have done more to help." She responded disappointed looking at the floor.

"What are you talking about? You worked overtime to help some stranger you haven't even met for free. You've already gone above and beyond the call of duty."

The doctor smiled and looked back at Kai earnestly. "Thanks that means a lot."

"Oh! And again I am so, so sorry about before. You know when I was staring and stammering- I didn't know but that's no excuse and I'm just sorry and-"

"It's fine! It's fine!" She insisted. "You didn't know about… People like me. And besides I've been given worse looks by creeps who didn't have any decency to apologise."

Kai started to feel bad. She had explained about Faunus getting treated unfairly despite there being laws and it made him sick to his stomach thinking about it.

"Never mind me, I'm not the poor guy with amnesia. Still you should get going now, I hope things get better for you soon."

"Thanks and… I hope so too."

Kai smiled at her one last time before opening the door and walking out the clinic. The air was colder than he remembered but after spending over an hour and a half in a room it was nice to breathe in some fresh air.

"Took you long enough."

Kai looked into the darkness and saw a familiar Pokémon waiting for him.

"I didn't ask you to wait you know."

Greninja shrugged. "You also didn't ask me to carry you through the middle of nowhere to an unknown city, and deliver you to a doctor- undetected might I add! But you know that's what friends are for."

Kai chuckled and grabbed Greninjas shoulder. "All right I owe you an explanation, in fact."

Kai looked at all of the balls now back on his belt. "I owe everyone an explanation."

He grabbed them all in his hands and threw them up in the air, where they were eclipsed by Remnants cracked moon before opening up.

Kai stopped sitting straight and leaned back in his chair.

"After that I told the rest of my team everything the good doctor told me and then… I think that's about it. Anything to add pal."

Greninja scratched his chin. "Well when I was waiting for you I noticed the moon and freaked out for a good fifteen minutes. But nothing that important."

The two of them looked directly at Ozpin who throughout the story had drank all of his coffee.

"So that's our story. What's yours?" Kai asked Ozpin casually.

Ozpin relaxed in his chair and gave a sigh of relief.

"Well then Mr Emblem, I must say you certainly have traits suitable for a huntsman."

"You know that sounds great except the last person who said that was a pretty bad guy, and the only huntsman I've ever met tried to kill me, so forgive me for not appreciating your oh so kind words." Kai remarked.

"I know that your relationship with me hasn't started on the best of terms but you cannot deny these qualities. A strong will to help those in need, risking your own life to save others, trying to remain rational and calm in stressful scenarios and… A lack of fear in the face of the Grimm." Ozpin in particular emphasized that last part.

"Well I did think it was a Pokémon at the time."

"Does that change anything?"

"Honestly not really, we've dealt with worse. Besides Greninja was the one that took it out, I doubt I could have handled it on my own."

"True. But that is exactly why I run this academy in the first place."

Ozpin leaned forward. "I am going to offer you and your family a place at my academy. If you accept: you will have a place to stay while you are here, and as long for as you remain I will use any available resource at my disposal to help find you a way home."

Ozpin spoke honestly and sincerely and it really made Kai think about his offer. Greninja however;

"What's the catch?" He asked bluntly.

"I assure you there is no ulterior motive."

"Right, and this thing around my neck is made of wool." Greninja said grabbing hold of his tongue.

"You don't honestly expect us to believe that you would: go to great lengths to find us, send one of your 'students' to almost kill my master, invite us to your academy for free despite no prior experience and help us get home despite only just meeting us, all out of the goodness of your heart! What kind of idiots do you take us for?!"

The room had a long awkward silence, Kai wanted to calm his friend down… Except he made a good point. They only just met Ozpin and despite telling him a story that seemed crazy he believed every word and treated them like lifelong friends. It certainly wasn't a normal response.

"You asked me before what my story is, I suppose since you shared some of yours I should share some of mine." Ozpin started to say.

Ozpin got up from his seat and walked towards the window staring into the orange sky.

"Without going into too much detail, it is fair to say that I am in a position where I hold much more responsibility than most other people could possibly imagine. I have spent generations training the defenders of tomorrow, acted as an important voice in council affairs, provided a face as an ambassador of sorts to the other kingdoms… And there are my own personal demons that I have to face."

Ozpin turned and stared at Greninja. "And throughout all of this the one thing that I desperately try to avoid above all else is having to ask myself 'What if?'. What if I'm making a mistake that could jeopardise the future of a generation? What if I choose the wrong side in a debate that affects the lives and well being of unsuspecting individuals? What would happen if… I found an extraordinary young man with remarkable talent and didn't help when I had the chance? Do you see where I'm coming from?"

Greninja looked back blankly. "So, you're doing this just to not have any regrets huh. Even if we only stay a day, or if you train us up until graduation and then suddenly we leave to go home, you won't feel like anything you've done had been wasted?"

"If I am able to make someone's life better, to do everything I can possibly do in my power, isn't that what matters most?"

Greninja paused before smiling behind his tongue. "Alright, alright. I still think your methods are sketchy but, you do seem genuine. I don't know per sae if I like you, but I am willing to go along with this. But it's not up to me is it?" Greninja looked at his master. "It's your call Kai."

Ozpin sat back down and put forth a paper document and a pen. "If you do wish to enrol, then sign this and I shall have you in the schools register by morning."

Kai grabbed the pen and held it in his hand, he looked at the document in front of him and quickly read it.

'Last chance Kai. If you want out, you do it now.' He thought as he stared at the paper. After much time he slowly looked back at Ozpin.

"If I sign this, will my Pokémon be protected? You won't tell anyone outside this building about them. And you won't let anyone take them away."

"Unless I have your permission first, I swear that I won't speak about them to anyone that doesn't need to know. And while they are here they will be protected in the same way I would look after any other student."

"Okay, and how will I be able to fight and train?"

"Most students procure themselves a weapon, commonly homemade or a family heirloom. However, your Pokémon should suffice, as long as you use them within reason. For example, in sparring matches I suggest you may only use the same number as your number of opponents."

"And what about aura?"

"As you study and improve you should be able to unlock your aura on your own."

"That's not gonna be fast enough for me."

"Mr Emblem-"

"These people have very dangerous weapons and without aura then I have no way to defend myself!" Kai interrupted. "Ruby would have dealt much worse than a cut if I didn't get out the way and if she wasn't afraid to hurt me! Isn't there anything you can do to speed up the process?" Kai interrupted.

Kai then realised how heated up he was and calmed down. "I'm sorry I shouldn't have shouted."

"It's quite alright. But you do have a point, these students have had years of experience so maybe it wouldn't hurt to get you up to par so to speak." Ozpin got up and walked right up to Kai. "If you could stand up please."

Kai hesitated but soon got up. Ozpin placed his hand on Kai's chest and closed his eyes.

"Now close your eyes and concentrate."

Kai looked at Greninja who only gave a confused look back.

"Okay then." Kai said hesitantly.

Kai closed his eyes and soon after Ozpins eyes opened wide before closing again and his body glowed with a green aura.

"Woah." Greninja whispered in disbelief.

"…For it is in passing that we achieve immortality. Through this we become a paragon of virtue and glory to rise above all. Infinite in distance and unbound by death, I release your soul, and by my shoulder protect thee." Ozpin took his hand of Kai and he started staggering back.

"Are you okay there?" Kai asked opening his eyes.

"I just had to use my aura to unlock yours that's all. I should be fine in time."

"Um Kai?" Greninja stuttered.

"What is it?"

"I don't know how to tell you this so I'm just gonna blurt it out. You're glowing!"

Kai looked at his body and saw that he was glowing a light blue.

"Okay this is pretty cool."

"How do you feel?" Greninja asked.

"Honestly not too different to be honest."

"Well you look better. Take a look."

Greninja pointed to the window and while his reflection was still vague there was one difference he noticed immediately.

"My injuries have gone! Still have these terrible bags though."

Ozpin walked back up to Kai. "Your aura not only protects you from physical harm, but will also heal minor wounds and is the gateway to unlocking your semblance. However…"

Kai looked away from his reflection and back to Ozpin.

"However, what?"

"Well it would appear that the amount of aura you have is significantly smaller than normal."

"Oh, is that all." Kai said despairingly.

Greninja then put his foot on Kai's shoulder. "Come on Kai remember; it's not the size that's important, it's how you use it."

"You're really not helping."

"I disagree. Anyway, speaking of aura I'm next! Can we customise colours because if so I'll take a dark red."

"I'm afraid that might not be possible. While animals in our world do possess aura, they have never been able to unlock it in the same way humans and faunus can." Ozpin explained.

"Well we don't know until we try. Come on hit me up!"

Ozpin ignored Greninja and went back to his desk.

"I hate to rush you Mr Emblem but it has been long enough. If you could please decide whether or not to sign then that would be appreciated."

"Is this because I insulted you earlier because I am so sorry about that, truly I am. It's just we've had a difficult time and-"

"Greninja, can you please shut up about aura? Pretty please." Kai interrupted.

"Fine." Greninja grumbled.

Kai sat back down and started writing his signature on the document.

'Here goes nothing.' He thought.

He slid the document and the pen back to Ozpin and got up from his seat.

"Are we done here?"

"Of course." Ozpin said as he grabbed the document and folded it into his pocket. "There should be someone at the bottom of the elevator who will show you to your dorm."

"Do you really think they're still gonna be standing there after all this time?" Greninja asked.

"I don't think they'll mind that much."

Kai and Greninja walked to the elevator when it suddenly opened taking them slightly by surprise. But the two shrugged it off and went inside, Kai pushed the button for the ground floor and the door closed.

Ozpin sat in his office getting ready to put Kai on the register when his scroll vibrated. He picked it up to see that he had received a message.

Qrow: How did the talk with the kid go?

Ozpin hastily replied.

Ozpin: Our suspicions have been confirmed. However, we have a new piece entering the game.

Kai and Greninja meanwhile were busy talking in the elevator as it went down.

"No."

"Come on Greninja."

"I'm staying out of the ball. At least until we get into our room."

"You do realise we're about to meet someone, don't you think they're gonna freak out after seeing a giant talking frog."

"First of all: I'm a ninja, people love ninjas. Second, I'm not gonna talk this time. I'll admit it when we met Junior I messed up but this time I won't say a word without your permission just like up there."

"Actually, since nobody knows talking Pokémon aren't normal and we're gonna be staying here a while. I think it wouldn't hurt for you guys to actually speak, it might make things easier."

"Oh, now you tell me."

The elevator stopped moving and the doors opened revealing a familiar face.

"Ugh. Finally, I've been waiting forever." Ruby groaned. "But it's worth it because now I can finally talk to you again and-"

Ruby's attention shifted towards Greninja standing next to Kai.

"Wow! It's a ninja frog! That's so awesome!" She exclaimed.

"I like her." Greninja said.

"Ruby? You're our escort?" Kai asked surprised.

"Yep at first, I really wanted to just lie in bed because that bird of yours kinda hurt, but when Ozpin asked if I could take you to our dorm since we aren't that far away from each other I got so excited because I still have so many questions to ask like-"

"Woah there." Greninja interrupted. "Take breath once in a while it's good for you. And as for your questions I'll be happy to answer as many as I can about how great I am on the way, but first I'm gonna need to see that sweet 'Scyniple' of yours."

Greninja walked ahead with Ruby and Kai just watched from behind as the two got talking.

'I guess things are finally starting to get better after all.' Kai thought.

"Hey Kai what's taking so long? Is it about your tiny aura? Look it's nothing to be embarrassed about, it's a medical condition you can't help it." Greninja taunted.

Kai smiled and started catching up with the two of them.

'When I get my hands on him so help me.'

Kai chuckled to himself as he reached them and joined in their conversation as he walked to his new home.

So how did you like Kai's origins into Remnant. Since this will be Chapter number 4 (Prologue included) I expect that more and more people are going to be reading this soon... Maybe... I hope. So if that's the case feel free to tell me how to improve, this is my first published story after all. This might sound random but the reviews I've gotten so far are all positive, which is great don't get me wrong. But I keep getting nagging thoughts about say: are the RWBY characters accurate to their portrayal in the show? Am I doing a good job explaining the scene? Are Kai and his Pokémon entertaining? Are the fight scenes good? Is mayonnaise and instrument? Or you could just keep telling me how great I am in all of those areas. You know, whatever works. Anyway until next time this is Kallerston signing out!
