My name is Alpha, but everyone knows me as usually either Sapphire, or Zach's sister. Not many people know this, but I'm actually an alter ego of the writer of this story. I am their second half, and their friend. Who am I kidding actually? The writer would only make me say this since they personally hate the fourth wall. Anyways, let's get back to where I was left off. I think it was with me being stranded in the middle of the forest after being threatened by this weird canine called Zygarde and sent my Staraptor to find an exit. Unfortunately, that didn't work too well since I found him several hours later lying unconscious on the forest floor.

I sighed as I returned my partner and held my jacket close to me feeling the air suddenly chill and rushed through the underbrush to hide and run as far from where I had been. This world hated me even more than the trainers who I beat every single time they challenged me again. I sighed and shook my head as I slowed to a slow walk and rubbed my arm scared. This forest was so foreign and scary that I felt like I was in a completely different world. To anyone who wasn't used to seeing anything odd would have snapped already and embraced that they were forever stuck in the world of trees and our mythological beasts.

I wandered for a few hours before I ran into a sign of life. A small track that reminded me almost like that of a Pikachu. However, it was too large for one, and I simply walked past it. I kept walking and walking and walking, but I never came across another sign of life. It was almost like everything was starting to want to avoid me. And I was honestly kind of feeling lonely and bad now. Of course, I still had my partners with me, but they were too much like me for any real conversation.

I sighed and shook my head as I pushed my way forward through the darkening forest and sighed holding my arm tightly in fear, worry, and hatred. It wasn't like I was feeling it by myself. There was just something in the air that seemed to express fear and worry. It just... mixed with my own emotions and made me feel like they were my own emotions, but I could tell that they were coming from something much more... experienced in the ways of emotion. It had to probably be a Riolu or Lucario, but those were some of the rarest Pokémon in the world, so the chances of that were-

"What in the world?!" I cried out as I suddenly saw a large group of Riolu and Lucario gathered in the middle of a large clearing. I looked over them in pure fear and confusion before they soon caught sense of my emotions. None of them even dared to look at me except for a single Riolu. However, he made no attempt to even walk up to me. It just stood there watching me with tears in its eyes.

I slowly made my way from the bushes and into the clearing, but everyone still ignored me. I only walked forward seeing this and slowly kneeled to the Riolu. We looked at each other before I held my hand out and touched his paw. Almost instantly, I was hit by a wave of emotions: Joy, happiness, sadness, fear, and even confusion. They felt so built up and hurting that I felt myself starting to cry with him.

We both sat there almost crying our eyes out before he managed to crack a smile and looked into my eyes. I slowly smiled back and kissed his cheek happily. There was something odd about this Riolu. It was almost as if he knew me, or if I knew him. He slowly lifted his paw and held my cheek before his eyes suddenly went wide and he burst into a wide smile.

"Blue!" He cried out so everyone could hear. It was almost like he was calling out to them as they looked to us with wide eyes. "This is the one who knows Blue! She knows where Blue resides at! She can take me to him so I can persuade him to come back as he promised!" He cried out with a wide smile as the other Lucario and Riolu looked to each other nodding before splitting apart as an elderly Lucario walked up to them. He looked as though he was barely able to stand, but still did nonetheless.

"So, you know of where Blue is currently residing?" He asked silently as he stopped in front of me.

Of course, I shook my head in truth. I knew of no person called Blue except that gym leader who resided all the way in Kanto. That was just so far away though, and she had never met him before. She was also very sure that he was a completely different Blue than who they were talking to.

"That is very unfortunate." He responded turning to some other Lucario. "Get her out of the forest and erase her memories. Nobody must know of our location."

Suddenly, I felt myself being picked up by my arms and started to struggle against the Lucario that held me. A Riolu walked up to me and softly held my hand before I started to drift to sleep. The last thing I saw was a powerful paw being place onto my forehead, and a soft whisper as I finally blacked out. I don't know how long I was out, but I'm sure it had to be a few hours since when I woke, I was completely refreshed, but with no memory of what had happened.

I looked around my surroundings and groaned as I realized I was on the outskirts of the town. It was just odd how I was here all of a sudden. It was like something had knocked me out then carried me here. I shook my head and sighed slowly started to stand up with a soft whimper. My entire body was sore and hurting, but I didn't care as I slowly stumbled forward. I reached my hands down and sighed feeling y three Pokémon in my belt and chuckled softly as I entered the town. As soon as I did, something slammed into me from behind cooing happily. I turned and smiled seeing a very familiar Buizel and Sylveon hugging me softly.

I looked at the two chuckling softly and kissed the Buizel's nose. The Sylveon let out a soft giggle as her ribbons retracted and pulled the Buizel off of me. It was so coordinated as if they had been practicing, but I knew that they were just happy to see me. After all, I had just disappeared suddenly and It had been what felt like forever. I chuckled as Rosa let down Zach and smiled softly as they hugged.

"We can't believe we finally found you!" Zach chirped breaking from their hug and rushing over to hug me instead. "It's been nearly three days since you suddenly disappeared! We called the cops, but they reported that you had headed to another region! Oh thank god you're safe, Alpha!" He said starting to cry.

"Th-three days?" I asked with wide eyes and a confused look on my face.

I had only really expected a day at the most, but three days was nearly three times as long as I thought. I guess maybe time moved faster wherever I was. I silently shook my head trying to forget it and hugged Zach and Rosa with a soft smile. "So how have you two been?"

"We've been okay, but all we've done is train and go to school," Rosa sighed as she lifted a paw and started to clean it softly. "And we even got our communicators, so we can talk to anyone we wish now. Very useful for asking around for someone who's been missing for three days." She said glaring at me softly, but with a bit of anger.

"I'm sorry, but I really had no idea it had been so long," I said as I hugged them both slightly tighter. "I just remember waking up in the forest, wandering for a few hours, and then I passed out and woke up back here. I swear that's what happened to me." I said as I let them go and watched them stumble back from the hug.

Zach chuckled softly as he crossed his arms and looked at me with a smile. He seemed to have grown a bit in his ego, but definitely not enough to where he'd become reckless. Rosa, on the other hand, seemed to have become more humble and wise. It was almost if the two had grown into their character. Of course, there was still a lot that could have changed between them.

I looked over the two and chuckled softly with a light smile. Zach, although looking like he had lost a lot of his weight, looked a lot more fit, but he was obviously hating it from how many scars he had. Rosa was something else as she had no scars, but she still looked so much lighter than a Sylveon. Maybe they had gone on some sort of diet or something? I really didn't know since I've apparently been gone for three days!

"Let's head home," Rosa suggested as she started to scratch behind her ears. "We already have lunch in the oven and apparently that weird thing that you also wanted to share with me, Zach. Said it could wait until we were home and eating lunch." the Sylveon sighed as she then stopped her scratching. "And I say we go home right now before I lose my mind!"

I giggled softly as I slowly started to stand up and groaned as I held my arm. I felt like my body was on fire, but I knew it might have just been from how I was either resting, or from the constant walking I was having to do. I shook off the pain and chuckled as I slowly took Zach's hand and slowly let them lead me back to home. It might have just been because of how tired I was, but I was just kind of forgetting where everything was.

After what felt like an hour of walking, we finally arrived back home and I breathed deeply smelling the nice country air of my home. It smelled just like I remembered, but there was just something different about it. Something even more powerful and there was a sweet smell in the air. Shaking it off, I chuckled being led into the house then being sat on the couch as Zach and Rosa went to get what they were making before they found me.

Before long, a familiar ding was heard and I looked over to see my brother helping to carry a large plate full f fruits and veggies that they then placed on the table in front of me. Zach slowly walked around the ouch before jumping on while Rosa used her ribbons to lift herself onto the couch. I looked at them with a smiled and watched as they slowly started to eat the food. After a few minutes, I then started to eat along with them. They must have been wanting me to since they didn't move to stop me.

"How have you two been?" I asked after a little while in the awkward silence. I was just trying to make conversation, so I just asked the first thing that came to my mind. Of course, I immediately mentally face-palmed realizing it was a stupid question. I might as well have asked if they had kissed yet. Probably a no, but it was a lot better than what I had asked.

Within seconds they had both responded with a simple shrug and I sighed already having guessed that would have been the answer. neither of them really were picky about much unless it was about food, or about school. And maybe even about their training now. Maybe I could help them later, but I just needed to eat and rest now. I was just that tired and sore from everything.

"You should get to bed," Zach said popping an Oran berry into his mouth. "You've been missing for so long and you must have been walking for ages. if so, then you really need to get yourself some sleep. You can have my bed for the time being." My brother chuckled then popping a Pecha berry into his mouth with a smile.

"I'd love to, Zach, but I really think I should just stay awake for the time being so that I can make sure you two are doing fine," I said, but they only shook their head and softly pushed me from the couch; Rosa using her ribbons to pick me up and carry me to Zach's room. It wasn't like I minded, but I really felt bad for just getting home and then being given what I didn't deserve.

"Wait a second. Where's mom at?" I asked suddenly as they had put me down. It as really odd that she hadn't been home to greet us, and even odder since I could see the sun was starting to set already. I guess time really does fly by when you're having fun. Either that or I was even more tired than I had originally thought.

"That's actually a very funny thing that you should ask," Rosa chuckled. "Apparently, your mother is overseas busy with work from a promotions she got the exact day you disappeared. "If I didn't now better, I'd say somebody was trying to get you out the house so they could sneak in and do something. Of course, it's impossible since we were still here."

I looked at them and chuckled softly as I looked to the roof and sat on Zach's bed. I really was confused about what was going on in the past week. First up was the sudden appearance of that new team called Solarflare. Second was the transformation of Zach, Rosa, and even several other humans who had yet to be revealed. Then was the sudden disappearance of all the legendary creatures around the world. It really was odd, but I knew there was nothing to it. It might have all just been coming from the recent natural disasters that have been storming the world.

With the shake of my head, I slowly sat on the bed and sighed. It was just so hard to think clearly after all that's happened, but I knew it would calm down eventually. I felt s light bump from either side of me and turned to look at Zach and Rosa with a smile. At least they were able to understand what this all meant. To me, it just felt alien seeing your brother a Pokémon, and then watching the world as it suffered from something so... inhuman.

"I wonder what happened," Zach sighed as I suddenly heard something and turned to see a TV playing the news. "It seems like the natural disasters are only getting worse. An 8.1 earthquake, three hurricanes slamming into the same part of a region within a week, and even more wildfires. It's almost like somebody has been messing with things they shouldn't be."

"I understand what you mean," Rosa mumbled watching the news about the earthquake. "I can't fathom how somebody could just cause these, but they must be powerful if they could cause all of these within... eight days. I just... How could somebody have so much power over nature? It just seems impossible to me."

I let out a sigh and shrugged as I continued to watch the news. It was basically hogwash about what was going on in our world, but there was something about it that was also truthful. My brother and Rosa may not have seen it yet, but these disasters were indeed random, but also manmade. I knew that Team SolarFlare had something to do with it because they were just too coordinated to be natural forming.

With a silent and quick motion, I laid across the bed snuggling my brother and Rosa on my chest. The two looked at me confused before they nuzzled into me and soon fell asleep in my arms. I knew the journey was far from over, but it looks like it's only just begun. May the stars watch over us until then... Please.
