Well, after the long time of trying to make it, and the long time of waiting for my computer to stop being a pice of (word I cannot say because kids read this), the fourth chapter of Quest for the Dimensional Keys is finally here! Enjoy.

Quest for the Dimensional keys

Chapter 4

The Teams

"This is taking way too long" said Shadow to himself. Shadow had wandered far out into the plains. Suddenly he heard something sneaking up behind him. "Chaos Spear" he shouted. He hurled a spear shaped light at the ones who were sneaking up on him only to find out that it was May and Mr. Krabs. "Great Barrier Reef" gasped Mr. Krabs "What was that for?" "You snuck up behind me" said Shadow "That is always a mistake. You're lucky I didn't use my Chaos Blast technique or you'd all be vaporized. Why are you following me anyway?" "Well" said May "Sonic asked us to go with you to make sure you didn't do anything risky." "I don't care what Sonic said" said Shadow "I'm perfectly capable of taking care of myself. So why don't you just beat it." "That's it" said Mr. Krabs. He walked over and grabbed him by the chest. "Listen tough guy" he said "I understand you wanting to save you're home and all but don't think you're the only one with a home to save. We all have homes in danger because of that Time Space Rip. So I'm going to save me home even if I have to go through you. That's right tough guy I'm not scared of you!" "This isn't helping Mr. Krabs" said May. "Don't worry about me lassie" said Mr. Krabs "I wasn't called Armor Abs Krabs in the Navy for nothing!" "Nice grip" said Shadow "Let me show you mine." He took Mr. Krabs' claw off his chest and threw him right into a nearby tree. "Mr. Krabs" gasped May "Are you Ok! That was so uncalled for Shadow." "You're….pathetic" said Shadow "Ugh! Go do what you want to. I don't care." "Great, just great" Thought Shadow as May helped Mr. Krabs up "I get one of the only chances to work on my own and Sonic sends me a team and a bad one too. A kid and a talking crab."

Meanwhile in another dimension "So that's where they're starting" said Dr. Eggman. "Then I should go deal with them" suggested Bowser. "Oh please" said King DeDeDe arrogantly "I could deal with them with no problem." Bowser ran over to him and grabbed him by his big fat chest. "I don't care what he says" he yelled "I will not put up with you're big, yellow mouth!" "People, People PLEASE" yelled Plankton "The master is taking a nap and he will have you're heads if you wake him up!" "Sorry" said Bowser and King DeDeDe. "Let's let him handle this when he wakes up" suggested Eggman. "Ok" said Bowser "But I'm sure he'll pick me since that's my home world." "And if he doesn't" asked Plankton. "Well I'll wait for him to call me" said Bowser "Either when he needs me to replace whoever goes, or for the next key. But I'm positive he'll pick me." "Well don't count you're chickens before they hatch" said King DeDeDe.

Meanwhile back in the Mushroom Kingdom Mario, Sonic and their team had stopped for a rest near a tall tree. It was late at night and they hadn't found anything. "Why couldn't Dialga and Palkia have given us a hint to where the key was" asked Mario. "Yea" said Sonic "And I feel like we've been going in circles." "Well" said Mario "According to the map….we have." "Oh really" asked Sonic "No wonder those footprints look so familiar"? "Poyoooooh" moaned Kirby. "Pikaaaaaa" moaned Pikachu. "Looks like these two need a break" said Spongebob. "Let's camp out here for the night." suggested Ash. "But we should keep our guard up in case we get ambushed" said Sonic. "Oh lighten up" said Eddy " We haven't run into anyone that even look like trouble for the whole day."

Meanwhile in the forest Things were no better for Tails Luigi and their team. "C'mon Luigi" said Tails " Just a little further and we'll be out of here." "No, I don't want to" moaned Luigi "It's scary!" "How long has this been going on again" asked Brock. "About 5 minutes" answered Double Dee. The team was trying to find a camping spot. But Luigi was too scared to go any further. "Great" groaned Meta Knight "Mario lets us take his brother with us and doesn't mention he's a big baby!" "Hey" yelled Luigi "I'm not a big baby!" "Yea your not" said Meta Knight "You're a SNIVELING, SPINELESS COWERD!" "WHY YOU LITTLE" bellowed Luigi. Soon Luigi and Meta Knight were fighting like it was no tomorrow. "Guys stop it" shouted Tails. Just then Meta Knight swung his sword right at Luigi's hat. But it missed. "Meta Knight stop" said Double Dee holding him back. "Well what are we waiting for" said Luigi "Let's go". "…What's gotten into him" asked Patrick. "Well" said Meta Knight "Like most cowards, their bravery comes out when they're worked up enough". With that they followed Luigi further into the forest.

Meanwhile in the desert Knuckles, Squidward and Ed were in a tough spot. "…It's so cold" shivered Knuckles. "…I thought deserts were supposed to be hot" shivered Ed. "It is during the day Ed" said Knuckles "But at night it gets cold". "Squidward's been pretty quiet over there" said Ed. "Hey Squidward are you…" Knuckles was cut off when he saw what had happened. Squidward's head was frozen solid inside his water helmet (which was now an ice helmet). "He looks even colder than us" said Ed. "Well we'd better set up camp, get a good night sleep, and get up really early tomorrow" said Knuckles. "Why do we have to get up so early Knucky" asked Ed goofily. "Because we're in the middle of a desert" said Knuckles "And we aren't gonna get very far once that blazing sun gets overhead".

Meanwhile back in the plains Shadow, Mr. Krabs, and May had already found a spot to set up camp. "Does this place look good to you lassie" asked Mr. Krabs. "Sure" said May. "What about you Mr. Tough guy" he asked Shadow. "What ever" said Shadow. "That guy really gets on my nerves" grunted Mr. Krabs. "Just ignore him" said May. "So what do you propose we do here" asked Mr. Krabs. "Well…we should probably set up a camp fire first" said May. "Well I should get the wood for it" said Mr. Krabs "Mr. Tough Guy over there probably wants to sit there the entire time". "Oh, you don't think I can" said Shadow. "I'd like to see you try" said Mr. Krabs. With that Shadow as to prove his power jumped up and chopped a tree into 100 pieces. "So is that enough proof for you" asked Shadow. And he jumped back onto the rock he was sitting on. "…Well" said Mr. Krabs "It seems he's more useful than I thought". "I guess he proved you wrong" laughed May. "You will never speak of this to the others, agreed" asked Mr. Krabs. "Sure" giggled May. "So how do we start the fire" asked "We don't have many materials to start it". "We've got all the materials right here" said May. She held up a red and white colored ball. "What in barnacles is that going to do" asked Mr. Krabs. "You'll see" said May "Blaziken, come on out". And she threw the ball into the air. Then the ball opened, and a white light flew out. Even Shadow turned around to look. The light flew onto the ground. Then it faded, and standing there was what looked like a red mixture of a fighter and a chicken. "BLAZIKEN" shouted the creature. "What in Davy Jones' locker is that" asked . "Oh that's right, you don't know about Pokemon" said May "Pokemon are mystical creatures that inhabit my world. People can capture wild Pokemon in a Pokeball like this one to be pets or battle partners". "So this Pokemon is you're partner" asked Mr. Krabs "Yes" said May "and Dialga and Palkia are Pokemon too". "Really" asked Mr. Krabs. "Yea" said May "But they're a lot stronger than any old ordinary Pokemon. They're two of the Legendary Pokemon". "So, what can this guy do" asked Mr. Krabs. "Well" said May "Blaziken is one of the Pokemon given to first time trainers". "So if I started out as one I could chose a Pokemon like him" asked Mr. Krabs hopefully. "Well sure" said May "These kind of Pokemon consist of Fire, Water, and Grass. So you have to be careful, because the Pokemon may be weak to a lot of things". "So this Pokemon is what kind of type" asked Mr. Krabs. "Blaziken is a Fire and Fighting type Pokemon" answered May. "Oh" said Mr. Krabs "So this Blaziken can make a fire". "Yes" said May. She turned to Blaziken who looked confused. "Oh, it's alright Blaziken" she said "These are my new friends". " Well I'm not sure if friend is the right word for that guy over there" thought Mr. Krabs. With that May explained what was happening. About the Time Space Rip, about Dimentio, and about the Dimensional Keys. "If we can't get them our world can't be saved" she said "And the same thing for these guys and their worlds. So we need their help". Blaziken nodded in agreement. "You can understand him" asked Mr. Krabs. "Well sort of" said May "Now Blaziken use Firespin". Suddenly Blaziken opened his mouth and unleashed a twister of flames. "Wow" gasped Mr. Krabs "That was cool". "Blaaze" chuckled Blaziken. "Alright Blaziken" said May "I think you'll be more comfortable back in you're Pokeball. Return". Suddenly a red light flew out of the ball. When it hit Blaziken it vanished and the light flew back into the ball. "Ok" said Mr. Krabs "That's cool too". Then he walked over to where Shadow was sitting. "So you think it's cool too eh" he asked Shadow. "A pathetic thing like that is nothing compared to me" said Shadow. "Har-har" laughed Mr. Krabs "I saw you looking". "So what if I did" asked Shadow.

Meanwhile at the lakeshore Sandy and Dawn had picked a spot really close to the lake. "Nice job making the fire" said Dawn. "Aw shucks" chuckled Sandy "All I did was rub these stones and sticks together". "Yea" said Dawn "But you did it all in one second". "Well I guess you could say I put the HI-YA-HE-HO K in karate". "So what should we do now" asked Dawn. Sandy looked around. Suddenly she saw a tree with nuts growing on one of the branches. "I say we get those nuts from that tree" she said. With that she dashed off to the tree. "Well…I guess that's one thing for a squirrel" said Dawn "They can't resist nuts". Suddenly Dawn noticed something. "That branch is pretty close to the far side of the lake" she though. And it was. Sandy was half way across the branch when it snapped, causing Sandy and the nuts in it to fall straight into the lake. "Oh-no" gasped Dawn "That water's really deep". "What do I do" she thought "I've got to help her! She can't survive down there without her suit". Then Dawn had an idea. She held up a Pokeball. "Piplup, come on out" she called. Then she threw the ball into the air. The ball opened and a white light flew out. The light flew onto the ground. Then it faded and standing there was what looked like a little blue penguin. "Piplup" said the creature. "Piplup" said Dawn "My friend fell into that lake, you've got to help her". Piplup was confused but jumped in. And a few minutes later Piplup emerged with Sandy's tail in it's beak. "Are you alright Sandy" asked Dawn. "….ugh…yea" replied Sandy "That's the last time I do something like that. How did you manage to help me out of there?" "Piplup helped" said Dawn. "Piplup, what's that" asked Sandy. Piplup, feeling insulted, walked in front of her. "Luuuup" it growled. "Oh, sorry little critter" said Sandy "Thanks for the help". So Dawn explained to Sandy about Pokemon just as May had explained it to Mr. Krabs. "Well, why didn't Dalga and Palkia tell us that in the first place" asked Sandy. "I'm not sure" said Dawn "They must not have had time at the moment". "Well, since the nuts are pretty much gone now I guess I'll have to find something else" said Sandy. "I'll go too" said Dawn. "Ok" said Sandy "There might be strange critters creeping around here though. I'd hate to see you get hurt". "Don't worry" said Dawn "I've got Piplup with me. And you too". "Lup" Piplup said proudly. "Well, I can't argue with that" chuckled Sandy. With that they set out in search for food.

Well, that's another chapter down. I actually had a little bit of a hard time coming up with stuff for this. It's hard to write a chapter with events you don't have fully planned out. But the next chapter, I'm sure I have planned out. So you can expect the next chapter to come a lot sooner than this. Well now that the explanations are over, I think I'll get back to the story. I'm sure you're wondering what the bad guys are doing there. You'll find out soon...(dramatic music). This is actually a chapter that explains how the teams are getting around in the world. There'll be a few chapters like that. We'll get back to the plot in the next chapter, I promise. So, see ya.
