Okay, extending the story. I have other stories; this story is escalating quickly…
Imma update one of those in a second.
Clem did everything that Clemont had done… She got the book, built the machine, and even changed her clothes. The only thing different? She had an Eevee helping her.
She had just finished the machine when everyone came out, including the ones who had been transported there.
"Clem?!" Clemont was shooting glances around, probably for Team Rocket. "Why did you build the machine?!"
"For one I couldn't sleep. Also, I figured that because YOU built it and it took you guys HERE, that if I built it…"
"… It would take us back home." Clemont finished.
"Great thinking, Clem!" Ashley chimed.
"No problems. All we have to do is wait for Team Rocket. They might come with the ones from your world. We can lure them away while you transport back to your world with them."
Sure enough, Team Rocket came, Jessie, James, and Meowth with them, the Wobuffets in their Poke balls.
"Now!" Ashley yelled. "Pikachu, Iron Tail!"
"Julius, use Shadow Ball on Pikachu's tail!" Clem added in.
Pikachu's Iron Tail was combined with Julius's Shadow Ball, making black electricity seemingly jolt off of her tail. Pikachu slammed it on the edge of the building that Team Rocket was on, causing them to fall because of the added power.
Team Rocket shot up. "Hey, what was that for?!" Jessie yelled.
"Hey, Jenny! Jacy!" Clem called. "You probably shouldn't follow us! We are going to a place where rare Pokemon thrive!"
With that, the genderbents ran with Jenny, Jacy, and Persian on their tails.
"Clemont, now!" Serena called over to the gym leader.
"Okay, I got it!" He pushed the button that was supposed to activate the machine…
… Nothing. Not even a spark.
Clem skidded to a halt. "Something isn't right!"
Everyone, even Team Rocket, stopped at this remark. "What do you mean?!" Jacy snapped.
"No explosion. He should've hit it by now…"
"Explosion?!" Persian gasped. "You were tryin' to explode us?!"
"No, we were trying to get them back to their world! Can't you just leave us alone long enough to help…?"
The two groups pondered on this, then they went back to the Pokemon Center.
"Another failure…" Bailey sighed. "The ONE time we NEEDED an explosion, sis…"
"I know, Bailey, I know."
The two groups, complete with both Team Rockets, were walking through town, people looking at them, confused.
Let them be confused… Clem convinced herself. Nothing we can do…
What was another way that they could get the others back home? That was the right thing to think about…
But what if they were stuck here? Certainly his robot wouldn't mind. She thought about how Clemiod would feel if she left…
… Nope, she wouldn't care. She obviously liked being gym leader.
She knew that they needed to get the group back, but how? This was the hardest part…
She pondered on a story that she had heard when she was younger. Something about world jumping…
"Okay, settle down you guys."
Clemontine sat and looked up at Liza, her and Bailey's mother. Bailey, though, paid no mind.
"Bailey, sit down please…" Liza sighed, a small smile on her lips. Bailey obeyed this time.
"Okay, here it the story of a world jumper who was an inventor.
"He was a lot like you, Clemontine. He was very smart and loved to find new things, so he decided to invent a few things of his own. He was a very high person in Kalos, for Kalos was ruled by a king at this time. The king loved this inventor… The person would always make the king wonderful items that would decorate the castle at all times, something new almost every day."
"He was that good? Snap his fingers and an invention would be there?" Clemontine asked, eyes wide in wonder.
"Yes, he was that good, Clemontine."
"I want to be that good one day…"
"Shh!" Bailey was starting to get into the story as well.
"Anyway, this inventor was given a task. This task was to go to another world. So he went and built a machine, but he had the help of a special Pokemon…"
"What Pokemon was that?" Clemontine asked.
"It was an electric type Pokemon. He had evolved it earlier, but his bond with that Pokemon powered the machine, and the Pokemon's lightning gave it the energy required. This machine brought people to a world where everyone is like you and me, we are there, okay?"
"We are?"
"Yes, Clemontine, we are. Just…"
"Just what?"
"Let's just say a little boy and his little sister are listening to their father tell this story right now in this house, but in that world..."
"Clem?"
Ashley's voice brought Clem back into the real world. She saw that she had stopped in the middle of the path, eyes wide as she could feel them.
"What is it, Clem?" Clemont asked.
"Clemont, did your father ever read to you the story about the inventor and the electric type Pokemon?"
He looked surprised. "Yeah, he did, now that I remember…"
"And didn't it make you want to be an inventor and an electric type gym leader?"
"Yes, it did!"
"Think about the story! The inventor built a machine that brought people to another world that was the same as their own, but people were different genders! It was with his electric type Pokemon that was newly evolved and their bond that made the machine work! Don't you understand?"
"Understand what?"
"Your machine blew up. You didn't have an electric type Pokemon there with you. It worked, but only just. Mine didn't, but Julius was with me. We have grown close fast. And Julius can evolve…"
"… Into an electric type Pokemon!"
"Exactly! If I were to evolve Julius sometime into a Jolteon THEN build the machine, it would stay there AND work!"
Clem and Clemont are in sinc today. Someone has been drinkin' their coffee XD Or not…
