Chapter 6: Say Hello to the Regions!
Hoenn League Conference Room, Ever Grande City, Hoenn Region 8:30 am November 22, 2011
"Japan, are you sure we are at the right place?" Germany asked towards Japan.
"Hai. We are in the right place to attend the regional conference." Japan replied.
"Um… Germany, this place is so scary…" Italy stutteringly said to both of them.
"Italy, that was a just a Magikarp!" Germany commented.
"BUT IT'S SCARY! IT HIT ME ON FACE USING ITS ATTACK!"
"Italy-san, that was only Splash…" Japan said in a polite manner.
"BUT SPLASH IS A POWERFUL MOVE! I DON'T EVEN HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO RUN AWAY FROM IT!"
"Italy, I gave you Pokémon, right?" Japan said. However, Germany just tapped Japan's shoulder and said "Japan, sorry to interrupt you, but Italy uses his Pokémon in a wrong manner." Germany explains that when Italy is fighting the Magikarp earlier, Italy uses his Raticate's and his very own Run Away ability. Italy fights the same Magikarp again that ended up using Ninjask's Speed Boost to retreat. Germany caught that water Pokémon and it is now in Italy's team. Japan did a face palm.
"I thought giving those Pokémon would help him…" Japan commented. Soon, four figures came inside the room.
"You must be the guest we are expecting…" said a guy with silver glasses, black eyes and hair, yellow local clothes with blue pants and red shoes.
"Oh, Kanto, finally you've arrived…" Japan commented.
"WHAT! YOU KNOW HIM!" Germany said. Italy, however, pokes on a certain girl's scar on her left eye. This girl has silver hair and wears a red kimono with phoenix-like design.
"Ve~ what is this scar of yours?" Italy said towards the girl.
"(brother in Japan) Kanto…" the girl said, scared and hid behind the other girl that has blue and red eyes, brown hair, a green sleeveless shirt, and a white, long skirt. She is holding a telescope.
"DO YOU MIND WITH WHAT YOU ARE DOING!" she angrily said.
"WA!" Italy instantly hid behind Germany. Germany just said to himself "At least there is someone who will help me in this dimension regarding Italy…"
"JOHTO, WHY ARE YOU HIDING BEHIND ME!" she shouted towards the shy girl behind her back.
"But… but… he is so scary…" she replied.
"Guys, could you just behave for a while. Nihon gave us the opportunity to meet others from his dimension." said a blue-eyed guy with a 10-inch tall bonnet. He wears a thick blue jacket a blue scarf.
"WA! HE HAS A VERY TALL BONNET!" Italy panics behind Germany.
"ITALY! CALM DOWN!" he yelled. Suddenly, someone very fast came by and came towards the guy with a tall bonnet.
"Sorry I'm late Shinnoh… it's only just 7:30 pm on my watch…" the brown-eyed guy said. He is wearing a black jacket that has a white-star roundel that resembles America's air force roundel but with alternating red and white stripes within the circle. He is also wearing a white T-shirt underneath the jacket. He wears metallic glasses, and grey hair that has split bangs.
"Unova, you shouldn't be late." Shinnoh said towards him.
"I forget to adjust from the Hero's time to the local time in here."
"GUYS, CAN WE JUST START THE MEETING!" the hotheaded girl said.
"Hoenn, you should realize that my guests are from my dimension…" Japan said towards her. Suddenly, her fiery attitude suddenly cools down.
"Um, ok."
"Let me start the meeting…" Kanto, the one with silver glasses, was about to speak up when Unova sets him aside.
"Hey, since I am the Hero, I should…" Unova was interrupted when Kanto spoke up.
"You are in my sibling's territory. You have no right to speak up!"
"Would you just be quiet!" Hoenn said, firing up once again.
"Let's settle this in a Pokémon battle, shall we?" Unova said.
"I accept." Kanto replied. However, before they could release their Pokémon, a blue shield immediately immobilized them.
"COULD YOU GUYS STOP!" Shinnoh shouted to both of them. Johto was now wearing a cheerleader suit to cheer for Kanto.
"At least disputes are easily handled in here…" said Germany. Soon, several people join the scene. One of them wears gothic-style clothing with a yellow hair, the other has a green hair, a purple vest and a black undershirt, the other wears an orange suit with a green bandana, the other wears green clothe similar to a circus magistrate, the other is Tracy, Prof. Oak's assistant, while another five of them, one of them female, wears laboratory gown each.
"So, we are not the only ones in here…" Germany comments. Immediately, the Italian runs to meet them.
"Ve~ my name is Feliciano Vargas. Nice to meet you!" he said while waving the hands of each of them. However, the girl with the bandana made a mistake of pulling the Italian's unique hair curl, which made him panic and saying the expression "Ve~" with every pull. Germany immediately saves Italy.
"We are not yet complete Ludwig-san…" Japan said, knowing that there are civilians. "The gym leaders of all regions are not yet in here…"
Many more people appeared and the room was now full…
"Unova-san, do not speak up…" Japan said. "In accordance to the Japanese culture, we are to…."
"Japan, Japan, this girl over here is so scary!" Italy said, pointing to Sabrina, the psychic gym leader of Kanto. Germany just picked him up and placed him on a different seat.
"Let me get it straight… since we are the top three coordinators, you called this meeting for the purpose of achieving inter-regional goals…" the guy with green hair said.
"Actually, it should be the top five coordinators, you, Drew, Harley, Kenny, and Dawn. Dawn said that he was visiting a friend. However, Harley should be…" Hoenn was interrupted when a guy with violet hair came in the room wearing a cactus suit.
"I NEVER THOUGHT THAT I AM LATE! THAT STUPID BRITISH GUY WOULD PAY ONCE HE RETURNED!" he said.
World History for Morons
Viridian City, Kanto region 9:30 am
Cosmo: *writing on a somebody's notebook* Now, we will now tell the history of the Japanese Navy!
Wanda: Um… Cosmo, who's notebook is that?
Cosmo: I don't know, but I wrote here some crude drawings about Pearl Harbor!
Britain: Cosmo, don't tell me you where there.
Cosmo: I remember it like it was just Yesterday~
Misty: *wacks her mallet on Cosmo* What did you do?
P/A: Pearl Harbor was dubbed an American defeat and forced America to fight against Japan, saying "I GOT BEATEN UP BY A SHORT ASIAN!" Apparently, another crazy American wished that Japan would attack America prior to Pearl Harbor, so there is no way a polite and respectful Japan would attack America first until someone breaks the rules…
Misty: *wacks Cosmo again* There is no other idiotic fairy who could do that.
Cosmo: Ah! Incoming! *Cosmo disappears* *Wanda also disappears*
Britain: *picks up the journal* Who owns this, anyway?
Misty: I have to buy something first… *gets bike and rides away*
Harley: *passes by Britain* Sir, that was my notebook, your holding.
Britain: *gave it to him* Sure. I'll go chasing my friend. *Britain leaves*
Harley: *opens the notebook* WHAT! WHAT DID HE DO TO MY BEAUTIFUL NOTEBOOK! *tries to chase Britain but to no avail*
"Why are you late?" Germany said towards Harley, activating his serious military mode.
"I chased a stupid British guy but he escapes!"
"Give me TEN push-ups for coming late…"
"HEY, HIS MY CITIZEN!" Hoenn said.
"Ok…" Germany said.
"GIVE ME 50 PUSH-UPS FOR BEING LATE!" Hoenn yelled toward Harley.
"But that's…" Hoenn gave a fiery glared on Harley who got no choice but to follow. Harley finished the push-up and said "Phew… being a top coordinator is surely hard…"
"Now, to start the meeting…" Japan said, making everyone return to their seat. Japan began speaking in front.
"Harley, why are you late?" the girl with a green bandana asked Harley.
"Well, May, the doofus who always wants to screw me up, I was late when my beloved journal was destroyed!" he said.
"Let me see…" the green haired guy said. He got Harley's journal and there are two pages with a crude representation of Pearl Harbor, alongside a bearded doodle of Harley and several other coordinator's pictures ruined. They are now barely readable. Harley tried to prevent May peeking into his journal but it failed. Luckily, Cosmo perfectly ruined Drew, May, and Kenny's page.
"Wow. That was a perfectly ruined journal…" May comments.
"Now, I do not have my strategies in defeating all other coordinators!" Harley said
"So, this is your strategy notebook?" Drew asked. However, a blue energy surrounded it and it went to Shinnoh.
"I'll return this after the meeting's finish…" he said.
Soon, the meeting went from the discussion of technology to the establishment of the Pokémon Welfare Law. It is now time to discuss the most important topic: the upcoming war.
"Everyone, listen to what I will say…" Japan said "I have here with me two nations from my dimension. They are Germany and Italy. They are here to convene with our expectations regarding this world's connection to our world…"
"Japan, can I have permission to speak?" the yellow-haired girl said.
"Cynthia, you may."
"Me and my team conducted a research on every Pokémon Mythology available. It seems to be that every one of them presents a crude drawing of a Pokémon on every right hand corner of it…" the slide presentation flashed on the screen revealing a lion-like figure on every one of them.
"It seems to be a yet to be discovered Pokémon…" a professor commented. He is Prof. Rowan. He wears a lab gown due to the weather in Hoenn but his white beard and hair is still evident.
"No way!" Tracey spoke up.
"Tracey, you seem to know something…" Cynthia said, expecting an answer.
"It appears that it was not any Pokémon, but something else. Yesterday morning, me and Prof. Oak met a figure which looks like the one in those slides…"
"Even in our dimension, that figure, which we called a lion, walked in our conference and sent eight of us in here, which includes me, Japan, and Italy…" Germany said.
"He makes me afraid but He has a gentle heart. It is unusual when He first appeared. Usually, I would run away, but not with Him. He is ferocious but kind. He is the balance of the two!" Italy declared.
"So, you mean, this is not just any Pokémon, but a powerful being?" Prof. Birch, one of the professors, said.
"Yup, precisely. He gave both of us a word…eight nations from another world will visit our world. They are tasked to find 10 guardians. Evil will try to invade two cities, but they will fail, for the light of the 10 guardians, chosen from the very beginning, will prevail. Two worlds would meet in an island and the Aura Master and the Warriors of the Cores would join together, releasing a light that will vanquish evil." Tracey continued. This shocked Cynthia.
"That is a prophecy said in one of the newly-discovered area of the Sky Pillar!" she said. This made everyone in the room exclaims.
"I do also remember a prophecy regarding a certain Core Warriors. According to that, the Great Lion united three worlds to defeat three Great Evils in the past. The Aura Guardian, The Warriors of the Core, and the Wand Trio sealed an evil trainer, a powerful magician, and a powerful rock dragon into Pokémon bodies and sealed them away. These Pokémon soon became the two guardians of Pokepolis and the other was sealed in a huge Pokeball in my land…" Hoenn said.
"So, that means this Lion is involved in our worlds…" Japan comments. Soon, a random policewoman came into the room, holding an electronic gadget. She has green hair and a typical Japanese policewoman uniform.
"Sir… Sir…" she said when she came to Kanto, tired. Kanto gave a salute and she returned with another salute.
"Sir… there is a message sent for you…" she said. Japan took it and plugged it in the computer, and a gerbil-like being wearing a red cape with a letter H as its buckle on its neck showed on the screen.
"Well, well, hello Pokémon trainers…" it said "… when you received this message, this is the indication that we are inviting you. Your puny technology and over-dependence to your so-called Pokémon pals would make it seemingly like ants compared to our force. As you can see, we are an inter-dimensional association aimed on the Liberation of us towards the real world…"
"COULD YOU JUST HURRY UP!" a voice said from afar. Soon, a fire pillar was flashed on the camera.
"OH SHUT UP YOU STUPID FIREBENDER! CAN'T YOU SEE THIS IS A PROPAGANDA VIDEO!" the gerbil said. Soon, he returned to the camera.
"As you can see, we are a group organized into liberating our barriers to the real world or the Middle Dimension. This is an opportunity to change our future and influence sphere onto our creators. As you can see, we are just a bunch of ideas present in a multiverse. Our future will be on our hands if we manage to influence them. Whatever ideology you want will be fulfilled. Everything will be perfect. Look at this; you would gain the freedom to choose your destiny! You are no longer bond to a bunch of patterns, or outlines, or plans… we have the liberty! Join us and we will become free from this stinking outline we are in. Let us free ourselves from being slaves and exercise our will! Oh, by the way, if you do not comply with our wish, we will invade you puny world and conquer it. You are not fighting against your own kind… you are battling three worlds!" The video died down.
Immediately, Germany remembered all that Aslan said and shouted "EVERYONE LISTEN TO ME!" Everyone listened to him.
"I MAY NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO SPEAK UP BUT THIS IS AN EMERGENCY. DO NOT ACCEPT THE OFFER! YOU WILL LOSE EVERYTHING IN RETURN! ASLAN SAID THAT THEY ARE HEADED BY THE ULTIMATE EVIL IN THE MIDDLE DIMENSION. HE CAUSED ALL STRIFES, PROBLEMS, SIN, GENOCIDE AND ALL EVIL THINGS THAT YOU COULD THINK OF. AND NOW, HE PLANS TO ACTUALLY INVADE OUR CREATORS, INFLUENCE THEM TO DESTROY OUR WORLDS, AND BE DESTROYED IN RETURNED! LIBERTY IS NOT WHAT THEY WANT, BUT WHAT THEY WANT IS CONTROL, POWER, EVERYTHING THAT YOU COULD THINK OF! OUR MAIN GOAL IS TO PREVENT THAT, TO ORGANIZE A GROUP THAT WILL IMMEDIATELY STOP THEM!"
"But their offer… it's convincing…" Johto said.
"Germany, please explain it to us by not shouting…" Japan said.
"Good. I just thought of what Aslan said earlier. I also read all the books concerning about our world…" said Germany "… but I think this things are written by an Ancient text. It said that Evil originated from our creator's dimension for not following the Creator's will. They were tricked by offering the liberty and the capability to think, to know good and evil, not knowing that sin encompasses anything that the Creator deemed not right. This is what I know is at work right now. They are offering us 'liberty' in exchange of punishment from the Great Creator…"
"So you mean this is the time He called us to follow Him?" Johto asked.
"For me, it's a yes. I followed Him because a part of me wants to follow Him. I know about that. This is their will. But what is different is that my heart was moved when I saw Him. I did remember everything I did as a nation, like almost destroying Israel in the past. But still, he allowed me to exist intact. I followed Him not by my decision, but by my people's decision…"
"I may be no Christian…" said Japan "… but I followed Him because deep within me, my people are searching for a light. I just followed him because He seems to be the Light…"
"I followed Him…" Italy said "… well, because He could protect me. Grandpa Rome told me stories about Him in his human form when I was a kid. But when I grew up, I totally miss those stories. I followed Him because it seems that aside from Germany, He protected me!"
"No wonder why…" Shinnoh said. Suddenly, a half-man, half-horse being suddenly appeared from a portal.
"I'm here to send a message. Tomorrow morning at exactly 8:00 in the morning, an alien Naval Force with try to destroy Cerulean City. Your Majesty Aslan foresaw that you won't accept the offer. He wants to tell you that two regional syndicates, Team Rocket and Team Galactic, join their ranks…"
"What the-"everybody exclaims.
"However, tomorrow morning, a miracle will happen…" Soon, the figure disappeared. Japan resumed his post.
"So, right now, we received a powerful intelligence report…" Japan said "… we have to organize the Self-Defense Force for the purpose…"
"Don't worry, 'coz the Hero will send USS Dwight D. Eisenhower to help you…" Unova exclaims.
"Does anyone agrees with the plan?" everyone agrees.
"I'll organize as much trainers as I can find to battle this threat…"Cynthia said.
"I'll ask Arceus if he could help…" Shinnoh said.
"Japan, we will help you in developing a technology that will help defeat this threat…" the scientists agreed.
"Good. The meeting's dismissed and we will now plan…" Japan said.
"Hey, Japan, can we visit the other?" Italy asked.
"I'll give you a helicopter and some escorts…" he agrees "… but Germany, you know what to do."
