Hey! UknownHero here and welcome to another chapter of Diamonds or Pearls! I've been getting really busy lately and my stupid computer won't connect to the internet and I can't play 80% of all my games on this thing because they're all free-to-play online. It's annoying that it takes a bit longer to update any of my stories and the added fact there's pressure on me to change some things in another fic I have up, and let's just say it has a lot of people wanting to stop reading. Let me get this straight, IT'S MY FIC! If you think something is flimsy or some crap, go make your own! It's not that hard anyway. And I just realised this is on a completely different topic and I'm going to do a longer rant on that other fic so let's just start the fu-I mean stupid thing. Yeah.
Load Game... Start!
Chapter 6: Now we Start!
(Dylan's POV)
Now, I've been in the Pokemon world for at least two, turning three, days, recovering from the battle.
And let me tell you, it's been crazy.
And now I have to start my Pokemon journey if this and my world have any chance in surviving Team Galactic's plan to shape them into their image.
After this, I'll be putting off Pokemon for a long time. Two, three years maybe?
I sighed as I lay in the bed with Dawn. It was around midnight and everyone was asleep. Sparks and Mimi were huddled with Glameow (I think? I keep forgetting) since we didn't have extra Poke-Beds or something like that. I stared out the window and looked at the starry sky. I actually saw a shooting star yesterday. Even though I had Johanna as my mum and Dawn as my sister, I still felt lonely. They weren't my real family. As far as I knew, they were my cover story. So I did a dumb thing and made a wish. I knew about Jirachi from the movies, but I could at least try, "I wish someone from my world was here." I muttered before I fell asleep. So far, nothing has happened. It was hopeless, like every stupid wish. I sighed again before making myself get comfortable (helpful if you have your crush sleeping next to you) before letting myself drift into unconsciousness.
Until I heard a scream.
"BARRY?!" Me & Dawn yell out at the same time. Another fake memory: Barry has a distinct girlish scream. This caused me & my twin to fall out of bed, Sparkle to shock Mimi, who set off and Ice Beam at Glameow and everywhere else. I groaned as I felt my right arm getting frozen to the floor boards,
"What's going-oh my..." Johanna said as she entered the room, only to see me frozen to the ground, Dawn unconscious on the ground thanks to slipping on some ice, my Pikachu in an ice block and Glameow shivering behind one of the bed's legs. Mimi and the Wii were fine. Everything else was not,
"Do you mind getting a Fire Type? Or a chisel?" I said from the ground. When everything and everyone was unfrozen, Dawn scolded Mimi before Johanna said to save it for tomorrow. I felt well enough to start our journey so we were going to Sandgem first to receive our real Starters. Anyway, as me & Dawn got back in bed, I had to ask Dawn if she knew anything about that scream earlier,
"I don't know, Dylan." Dawn responded, "Barry probably got scared by a Bug Pokemon or something." Dawn giggled,
"But what if someone's in trouble? We have to save them!" I tried to reason,
"Don't worry. An Officer Jenny will probably take care of it. Go to sleep. We have long day tomorrow." Dawn said as she laid her head on her pillow, falling asleep instantly. I couldn't help but be amazed on how my 'sis' got to sleep so quickly. I knew she was right because I was tired too so I got myself comfortable (easy if you have your crush sleeping next to you) and let myself drift. But something was bothering me.
Who the hell screamed?
(Melissa's POV)
"Ugh... what happened?" I groaned as I got up. I remember seeing someone before screaming my lungs out. I guess I fainted after that. Question is: who was it? I just sighed before looking around. I guess they put in me into a hotel or something after I fainted. I just shook my head before peeling off the bed sheet and getting on my feet. I was still a bit groggy so I decided to take a shower. As I cleaned myself, I thought about that light in Dylan's room, 'He probably used those high-powered light bulbs. Again.' I thought, remembering the last time he used them. He went blind for days. I just chuckled at the time he went into the girl's bathroom and took a peed in there. It was so awesome.
When I finished, I grabbed a towel and dried off. After I was done with my face, I looked into the mirror above the sink, 'Yep, still as cute a-WAIT A MINUTE!' I quickly scanned my face and hair. My blonde hair was still there, but a bit darker. I also have grey eyes, 'I never had grey eyes!' I thought frantically, 'Or look like a FREAKING ANIME CHARACTER!' Then I looked at my clothes, which I threw on the ground. Oh my God...
"I-I-I'm Serena." I said quietly as I looked my hands. I had to bite my tongue to keep myself from fainting again, and I really didn't want considering that I'm naked. I quickly went into, apparently, my clothes. I quickly glanced at the mirror and saw I looked pretty much like the Player Character from X & Y, which freaked me out even more. I quickly grab my bag before running out the hotel. And then I see that it wasn't a hotel. IT'S A FREAKING POKEMON CENTRE! I groaned as I remembered why I fainted. I found this place and freaked, "I am definitely dreaming." I muttered, "Or I'm screwed."
"Ah, I see you're awake." I jumped at the voice and turned around to face him, only to see,
"P-P-Professor Rowan?!" I exclaimed, only to be shushed,
"Please keep quiet, it's still early in the morning and we don't want to wake up anyone, do we?" Rowan said. I just nodded, too scared to find my voice, "Why don't you stop by my lab. I'm waiting for two young Trainers who are about to receive their Starter Pokemon."
"S-Sure." I stuttered. In my head, I'm literally freaking out. I'm in the Pokemon World! I'm freaking in the Pokemon World an-wait, I'M IN THE POKEMON WORLD! SINNOH NO LESS! This might actually be fun. After Rowan left, I stayed in that spot for a few minutes, taking in where I was and letting my brain settle before running to the Professor's lab,
"Get ready, Cynthia! Your title is mine!"
(Dylan's POV)
Okay, Running Shoes? Check.
Bag? Check.
Camping gear? Check.
Food for the road? Check.
Money? Check.
Sparkle in her Pokeball? No way in hell!
"What do you mean 'don't go back'?" Sparkle asked with a head tilt,
"I mean, you don't have to get into your Pokeball, Sparkle. You can ride on my shoulder or something." I explained, "I want you with me on my side, not on my belt."
"My Pokeball isn't that bad." Sparkle admitted, "But it doesn't feel like home to me, so yeah. I would like to stay out of my Ball."
"Sweet!" I cheered a bit. Team Plasma must've rubbed off on me or something. I do admit that I was sympathetic about their cause until it turned out it was just world domination. But at least in the future they have the Ninja-Pirate thing going on. Anyway, I put Sparkle on my head and went downstairs to grab something to eat before we went on our journey. When I got there, I saw Dawn eating with Mimi. It was cute seeing my 'twin' destroy a sandwich in unison with her Pokemon, "Well, that's attractive." I joked, getting Dawn's attention,
"Hey, I could say the same about you and chicken." Dawn retorted,
"I love it and you know it! At least I never had dandruff, Dee Dee." I say with a smirk. I knew I hit a nerve when Dawn turned red,
"I thought you let that die down!" Dawn angrily yelled at me, causing me to laugh,
"Well, Kenny didn't."
"Who's Kenny?" Great, I created Dandruff Dawn didn't I? I wonder if she's still afraid of Plusle & Minun,
"Uh... no one in particular." I answered while I looked away. When I saw Dawn looking at me suspiciously, I decided to change the subject, "Well, I'm hungry. I'm going to get a sandwich!" I say as I walk to the fridge. I grabbed some bread and ham when Sparks started talking,
"You really aren't good with girls, are you?"
"Shut up." I groaned as I bit into my sandwich. We ate in silence after I got Sparkle some Pokemon Food. It was so awkward. I should apologize, "Hey, I'm sorry."
"Don't worry." Dawn said flatly. Ah crap, I messed up,
"Look, I'm really sorry about the Dee Dee joke. It was pretty uncalled for."
"Dylan, don't worry. We were 6 back then. You didn't know any better. Let it go." Dawn said with a smile. I just smiled back before finishing my sandwich. After everyone was done, we grabbed our bags and walked to the door. Dawn decided to hold on to Mimi just in case of wild Pokemon, which Mimi didn't mind leaving a few for the Poke-Centre, "Reday?"
"Yep." I took a deep breath before running out the door, "LAST ONE TO SANDGEM TOWN IS A MAGI-CRAP!"
"Oh, YOU'RE ON!" Dawn yelled as she started catching up to me,
"Good Luck, you two!" Johanna yelled out as she waved. We waved back before getting back into the race. We raced through tall grass, making sure not to mess with any Wild Pokemon, made it to Sandgem Town in less than a few hours,
"I-I win." I say between pants,
"No, I win." Dawn said as she leaned on me,
"I've been checking and you two got here at the same time." Mimi stated,
"Oh man." I groaned, "It's a draw."
"Aw... I wanted that free dinner." Dawn said sadly,
"When did we bet on that?"
"As soon as you ran out the door. I'm hungry now." Cue both of our stomachs growling,
"After we get our Pokemon, I'll get something. You up for pizza?"
"Sure." We shook hands and started making our way to the Lab. You know, this place is way bigger than it is in game, and a lot more houses and buildings. I guess Jubilife City is going to be like Times Square, except with Pokemon. When we saw the Lab, which was really easy to see considering that it was the only building with a giant dome on it, I prepared myself as I knew what was going to happen. I went to grab the door handle, only to be tackled by Barry,
"Hey, Dylan! You're okay!" The hyperactive Trainer yelled into my ear and gave me a bone-crushing hug, "I should fine you f-"
"Barry." I wheezed, "You'll be fined for my funeral if you don't stop hugging me." Barry probably saw my blue face because he let go, allowing me to breath,
"Sorry."
"I-It's okay." I say as I tried to steady myself, "It's just the love. And the coffee, probably."
"I don't drink coffee!" Barry yelled out, "...Anymore"
"Okay. Hey, did you get your Pokemon?"
"Yeah. To even the odds, I got a Starly!"
"That's great, Barry!" Dawn exclaimed, "I can't wait to get my Piplup! Master Coordinator, here I come!"
"I'm sure you'll do great Dawn!" I encouraged her, "Anyway, next time you'll see me Barry, I'll be the Champ!"
"Well, you got to go through me and her if you want to." Okay, what?
"Um, her?" Dawn asked, "Who is it?"
"I saw a girl inside and she's waiting for you two. She says she's going to become the Sinnoh Champion."
"Oh really, well let's see about that." I say smugly before me & Dawn enter the Lab. When we step in, we see the Prof's assistants working on something, Prof. Rowan and three Pokeballs and... WHAT?!
Save Game... Quit!
Well, that's done. Stay tuned next time for Diamonds or Pearls!
