Two years… two years it took me to get here… now let's get it on… slow and with-*BRICKED by Mew*

Mew: Better watch your mouth.

Just a quick note, you may be a little confused below, if so please read Trial of the Damned and The Discovery to understand, thank you… also, I wrote this using the color yellow :D

Mew: Why not the color of me?

Dustchu: *Shrugs* I don't know. Why do you always steal my hat when I'm not looking?

Mew: Because it looks better on me then it does you, I mean come on, look at meh! (flies around wearing my Nike cap)

Dustin: Uh huh, should I do the discla-AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! *Knocked out by Mew with mega punch*

Mew: IT'S MY TURN! Dustchu doesn't own Pokemon.

Dustchu: *Sweatdrops* Help me!


*Flashback, one month ago Michigan*


"So… your name is Mew?" the teenager Dustin asked, looking the girl he just met up and down. After leaving the hospital Blue Green and Red wanted the survivor of Raccoon to meet someone, after following the trio to the parking lot he encountered a young girl who claims her name is Mew.

"That's right," she said, smiling.

"Funny, that's the name of a Pokémon," he chuckled, "nice name. Is it a nickname?"

"Not exactly," she looked around the parking lot and seeing that no one was around she asked, "want to see something?"

"Sure," Dustin shrugged, "see what tho-"

He was cut off as Mew suddenly turned a bright white, it blinded him for a few seconds and when it faded he saw a small floating Pink creature, "Ta-dah." She said, speaking to him over a mental link.

"…Ya know, I am not even surprised right now." Dustin deadpanned, making the Pink cat like Pokémon frown, "I mean with everything that's happened it's going to be hard to surprise me I think, but heck I'm happy to see you!" he said before quickly grabbing her into a hug.

"Okay okay," the Mew said, "now as for why I want to talk to you, well it's a matter of much importance."

"Really? bout what?"

"Come on, let's talk somewhere that isn't out in the open eh?" Blue suggested, turning around and walking into one of the alleys. Everyone followed him, Mew had cloaked herself along with the two Lati who followed behind Dustin as they walked. Passing garbage dumpsters and trash cans until they arrived at a small building that looked like a warehouse, Red produced a key from his pocket and unlocked the door before going inside.

Everyone followed, and once Dustin was inside he saw several large crates and rusted windows, the group made their way over to a small table that was set up with what looked like maps and other random objects.

"Okay," Blue said as he walked over to them maps, "let's get to this shall we?"

"What are we doing in here and what's with the maps?" Dustin asked, the two Eon Dragon Pokémon hovered next to him.

"Well," Mew started, gesturing to the larger map, "look for yourself."

Dustin walked over to the map and he saw it was of the United States, on it were some small dots and pushpins in various areas. Looking closer he saw one of the pushpins in Arkansas, "wait… is this, what I think it is?"

"What do you think it is?" Green asked, sitting on a small metal chair.

"That's my county," he said , recognizing the area pinpointed in Arkansas, "that's my home," he then looked over to the west spotting several more pushpins, "what are these areas? And why is my home one of them?"

"This was a Safe-house, Dustin. For a group called the Lotus," Blue explained, "they've been monitoring you."

"W-what?!" the brown haired teen explained, "why are they watching?"

"Calm down," Green told him, getting up and walking over to him, "just ca-"

"How am I supposed to calm down!?" he nearly yelled, "they're watching me?! what the hell did I do to them? I'm a nobody! I just eat sleep and read fanfiction!"

"It's more than that," Mew told him, hovering so that she was just in front of him, "just sit down… and I will explain everything."

Dustin had already fallen to the floor and was shaking slightly, the back of his head started itching and he scratched it nervously and listened, "okay, explain."

Mew sighed then stood on the floor, "Dustin… you, along with hundreds of others… are being hunted."

Dustin's eyes widened as the two Eon Dragons hugged him, feeling the fear he was experiencing.

"Why that is, I don't know… but all of you have something in common, all of you have a connection with my world somehow. I've looked into this connection you all share but I just can't seem to find it, whatever it is, its deep within your bodies, perhaps even your soul."

"Connection," Dustin held his head, "oh jeez this is starting to be too much for me."

"So much has been going on in this world, it shouldn't be happening but it is." Mew told him, "Pokémon are not meant to be in this world, and yet I've been hearing about strange creatures popping up all over the world, either breathing fire or throwing rocks. I don't need anyone to tell me they're Pokémon."

The teen looked up at Mew, "are they going to kill me, and the others if they find us?" he asked.

"… I don't know… its possible." She told him truthfully, she didn't know all the answers.

"…well, if they do find me… they're not getting me without a damn good fight!" he stated, "I survived Raccoon city! I can survive a couple of Flower wimps and their lackeys."

Mew smiled sadly, "that is good spirit… but it won't be enough, Dustin. They're more than just a few humans… they're a massive organization that have ties everywhere in the world, and in mine, how I do not know. Even their forces are kept secret, they could be a hundred or a million, or maybe just one."

"Jeez, these guys are just unknown? You don't know anything about them? at all!" Dustin asked ,standing up and walking around the place, "isn't there anything in this place? You said it was a safe-house for them, didn't they leave anything behind like some notes or a computer, maybe some notepads? Hell even a sticky note?"

"Nope, nothing except those maps there on the table." The spiky haired trainer Blue told him looking them over again, "all they show are the people who have something they want."

The brown haired teen ruffled his hair in aggravation ,"ugh! This doesn't make any sense." He stormed over to the maps and flipped through them, "why these maps? Why would they take everything else and leave the most important part of their operations?"

"What?" Green asked, "what do you mean?"

"Really think about it, back in world war two they would send in spies behind enemy lines to obtain maps sometimes that contained the locations of high value targets, like gas lines or convoys, hell even small encampment. The enemy would destroy the maps before the spies got close, losing a map would ruin everything and leave them vulnerable and they would lose valuable resources."

"So… they let this map, you're right that doesn't make sense." Blue looked over the maps, "these are really important, they left their plans of who they're after right here?" he suddenly looked very suspicious, "I smell something fishy about all of this."

Dustin looked around at the walls, then the windows, "what if this is a trap?" he muttered just loud enough for them to hear, "what if they were left here on purpose?"

"If that's the case, we better get out of here then." Green told them just as the windows were broken in and several people dressed in black armor repelled in.

"Crap! Run!" Dustin yelled, running for the door followed by everyone. Red swiftly grabbed the maps and deposited them into his pack before following, he pulled out a flash bang from his pocket and tossed it behind him before slamming the door shut.

The group ran out into the parking where Dustin yelled to Mew, "Mew, Take the Lati with you!"

"Why?!"

"They'll be safer with you then me." he answered, ordering his two Pokémon to follow her, "keep them safe!" he yelled before darting off down the road as two vans sped out of an alleyway and towards Mew and the group.

"Crap, Everyone hang on, we're going to have to teleport!" she warned them as she closed her eyes, Mew, Red, Blue and Green, along with the Eon twins all started to glow then, they disappeared into thin air.

Dustin meanwhile had run down the street past the hospital as one of the vans chased after him, he ducked around a corner and then into an alleyway. He hid behind a dumpster and waited before hearing a ringing noise, looking around he heard it coming from his pocket and reaching in he pulled out a small red/black phone. Flipping it up and hitting the green button he asked, "h-hello?"

"Hello Dustin," the voice greeted, "how was your trip to Raccoon?"

"Tidus?"

"Not me, it's on the phone."

"I'm sorry, I don't know what you're tal-"

"Cut the crap if you want to live, I know everything about what happened. The Pokémon Umbrella had, the killing of several Umbrella personal by your hands, your involvement with the BTV, escaping Raccoon and… another little tidbit I'll be keeping I my pocket for the time being."

"… okay, you got me, who are you?" he asked, the voice sounded female but he couldn't tell.

"I'll answer that later, now you should run. Go down the alley and turn left, then right."

"Why should I listen to you?"

"Cause if you don't then that sniper up on the roof is going to spot you and blow your brains out."

Dustin peered up and there was a man up there, someone washing a window on the fire escape, he looked pretty normal but looking closer he saw the rifle and ran. He sprinted down the alleyway until he came to a turn, taking the phone's advice he ducked left then ran straight forward until he came to another intersection then turned right.

"Now what?!" he asked the person on the phone.

"Look up."

Looking up he spotted thunderclouds, "I see clouds… that's it."

"Look closer."

"I still do-holy…"

He looked closer and saw something he didn't think he would see in a lifetime, a flying fortress! Hough, they may have been an exaggeration, it was still massive. A huge Plane appeared out of the clouds, its massive wings cutting through them like a hot knife through butter. The engines were massive, at least six of them on the wings.

"Don't tell me…"

"Get on the plane."

"Okay then, let me get out my jetpack from my pack annnd HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO GET ON THAT THING!" Dustin yelled into the phone, causing feedback on the other side.

"God you're loud, just get closer and I'll handle that." the voice told him.

Dustin sighed as he started for it, he had no idea how he was supposed to get on it, it's not like he could fly. He ran and ran until he was out in the open again but this time it was a massive clearing, "whoa… Ohhh, ah hell no!" he yelled, running out onto the field as he saw the massive monster of a jetliner turn his way and descend, he held up the phone up to his ear and said, "Well… I know what you want me to do now, and you better hope I don't trip."

"Just get a good running start, we'll keep the vans off you until you do get on."

"Oh crap," he turned around and saw at least three vans driving towards him, "what is it with bad guys and vans!" Dustin yelled as he started running down the field as the plane wheel's just barely missed him, he looked up in time to see the ramp lowering from the back and he pushed his legs to go faster, surprisingly they did and he was running faster.

The vans closed in just as he jumped onto the ramp and fell inside, "He's in! close the ramp!" someone yelled as they dragged Dustin away from the edge, "you're safe now."

"Wha?" the teen asked, looking back at him up at someone clad in red short sleeve shirt and black shorts, on his wrist was a odd looking device Dustin vaguely remembered.

"Welcome on board Dustin," the man said, his dull green eyes looking into Dustin's.

"Um.. thanks?" he said, standing up with the help of the man, once he got a closer look at the wrist device he snapped his fingers, "You're a Pokémon ranger!"

"Heh, you got me." the ranger chuckled, "name's Tom."

The Teem crossed his arms, "Are you the guy on the phone?"

"No, that was our comms officer, I'll take there in a few." He said, turning around as the plane started to ascend.

"What the hell is this thing, and how did you get it? I don't recall there being a plane like this in existence." Dustin asked, looking around the inside. He spotted several tarps in front of him draped over large vehicles that were held down with cables, military?

"This is one of the Ranger corps prized jets," Tom told the teen behind him as he inspected the tarps, "we brought it here for use in our operations on earth."

"Wait, what operations? Got this day is getting more and more confusing by the second," Dustin groaned, "just who else am I going to meet that technically shouldn't exist?"

"You'll be surprised."

As they walked forward the plane had reached a suitable altitude and leveled out, much to the relief of several people onboard. The two made their way from the cargo hold up some stairs until they arrived in a hall of sorts, "what is this area?"

"Rooms for the crew," Tom pointed to one room on the right side, "that's mine, and that's yours," he gestured to one on the left.

"Why do I get a room?"

"You're going to be staying on here, you are now one of our agents." Tom told the teen who gaped.

"Whoa buddy," Dustin grabbed Tom by the arm, "Agent? I don't remember signing anything that said I was going to work for you and your crew." He let go and added, "and besides, why me? why not Red, he's a freaking master, he'd be perfect for this."

"He's already working for us, along with the other two Green and Blue." The ranger stated turning around and glaring, "we needed someone, and that someone turned out to be you, don't think it was my decision to bring you onboard this op."

"Do I look like an agent? I'm a kid! I'm not even in my twenties yet," Dustin retorted, glaring right back, "I am not fit for this man, there are plenty of other people."

"Well they're not being hunted down now are they?" The ranger shot back, "you're the only one we could get on short notice, but if you like I can always throw you out the plane."

Dustin growled slightly, a sudden flash in his eyes cause Tom to step back, "I'll help you, but only because I want to stop whatever it was Umbrella is doing. Not, because of your crap." He said, walking past Tom and towards hat he assumed was the Comms area.

Tom followed soon after, his mind still trying to figure out what that flash was.

Once they arrived in the comms area, it was filled with computers, each of them being run by someone wearing headsets and typing away at their keyboards. Dustin spotted about sixty massive hard drives lining the walls, each one of them with a long cable running to the computers and other important looking equipment.

He saw his phone was still on and held it up to his ear, "Okay… where are you?" he asked.

One of the chairs turned around and there was the owner of the voice, "Right here~" she sung.

Dustin stared at the owner of the voice… and gawked, "you're kidding me right?"


*Flashback End, Current time, Hawaii*


"I know you," the Blonde haired teen inside the jail cell said, "you're-"

"Okay as much as I would like to keep talking I have to get your butt outta there," Dustin told Eli, walking back to the main desk.

"Wait, how are you going to get me out?"

"I have my ways." He told Eli.


*at the main desk*


"Come on, please~" Dustin begged, looking the desk clerk in the eyes.

"I said no, how many times do I have to tell you he's a suspect in a school burning down." the clerk told him, "I can't cut him loose."

"I got proof he didn't do it though," Dustin started, reaching into his pocket and pulling out a photo, he handed it over and said, "that guy did it."

"I'm not authorized to let him go, you'll have to talk to the lieutenant, speaking of which, here he comes now."

Dustin turned around and spotted the person, she was a tall woman wearing a black dress suit and shoes, her hair was tied back so tight Dustin though her head might rip off, her blue eyes caught sight of the teen and asked, "are you lost little boy?"

"Best watch your mouth broad." Dustin though as he put on a smile, "yes, I have proof that Elijah Toretto didn't commit the crime back in the… where ever it was," he handed her the photo along with several others, "boom."

The woman looked the photos over and rose an eyebrow, "and where did you get these?"

"… I took em…" He answered, suddenly feeling stupid for not asking for a decent answer from his 'superior'

"Hmm… take him into Custody please," she ordered casually.

"Wait, what?!" he babbled as three officers came over and grabbed him by the arms, they were shoved behind his back as the woman's ear device bleeped.

"Sir?" she asked as Dustin was being taken away, she sighed and said, "wait! Let him go."

"Huh-wha?"

The officers took the cuffs off as she walked over to him, she stared at Dustin for the longest time before saying, "let the other one out as well."

"… cool." The guards walked down the hall where Eli was and letting him out he was brought into the lobby where Dustin greeted him, "well come on dude, let's go."

As they left the woman stared at Dustin, he responded with a rude finger gesture. "Told you I'd get you out bro!" Dustin said, patting the eighteen year old on the back, "all thanks to my awesome skills of spying and infiltration!"

"Really, from what I heard in the cell you almost got arrested," Eli cackled , poking his finger against Dustin's nose, "something about some photos?"

"Shut up and follow me," Dustin pouted, walking down the road and to the hotel where Alex and Emily were.


*With Alex, several minutes later*


"Om my god, it's a freaking Lugia." He gasped from his crouched position, he watched as the Lugia swam around the tank, it looked to be really young and he wondered where they could have gotten it from.

"Okay, let's get out of here, you two watch the thing, its nasty with those water attacks." one of the men yelled before leaving.

Alex crept along the side as watched them eye the Lugia, they talked about it and one of them picked up a rock and threw it at the baby Pokémon, causing it to squeal in pain and wail. The same wailing he had heard from before, "those jerks!" he silently exclaimed, he had to help the poor thing.

Looking around he didn't see anything but the smooth cement walls and the railing, and the tank below… "Wait, would that work? Maybe… oh I am going to regret this." he looked up and over at the two guards, they were looking away and as the Lugia jumped out Alex jumped over the railing and dove into the water just as the Lugia dived back in, disguising his splash with the Pokémon's.

He held his breath as he swam under the murky water, the Lugia spotted him and swam over, "Oooo~" the Pokémon called, in the water it was hard to hear but he held out his hand to it and placed his palm on the creature's head.

Alex nodded, he would have said something but he was currently trying not to drown right now. The Lugia seemed to understand he was friendly, and looked at the guards then back to Alex. He nodded again and swam over to them he pulled out the crystal he had gotten from Dustin and held it like a weapon, maybe he could smash in their heads.

Creeping along the edge he came up behind the smaller looking guard and getting a good place on the side he shot out of the water and landed on the floor scaring the crap out of the guards, they both pulled out batons, "who are you?!" the lanky one questioned, his voice nasally.

"A kid who's going to kick your ass for taking this Pokémon prisoner!" he yelled as he ran forward, holding the crystal high and swiping it down, he missed and was kicked in the stomach and fell back onto the floor.

"Going to kick our ass with a rock? Good one!" the tall fat one laughed, walking over and holding his baton high.

The second he brought it down the Lugia jumped up out of the water and flew in front of Alex just as it connected with the small Pokémon, if it were larger the blow wouldn't have been so bad, but it was bad. The Pokémon fell back onto Alex with a whine as it held a wing over its head, and that was it for Alex. He shot up holding the crystal as it started to glow, "You're going to be very very hurt!" he yelled as he ran forward, the crystal glowed so bright as it changed in his hands, the front part of it expanding outward and forming a tip of sorts.

Without thinking he slashed at the fat man, causing him to stumble back with a yell. "AHHH!" he yelled as he fell to the floor.

Alex's eyes burned with a rage he has never felt in his life, he rushed forward and slashed at the short lanky one surprisingly making him fly back into the water with a splash and a yell. Alex stood still as his rage subsided, his right hand was holding something else and when he looked he saw what he was holding.

A blade, the handle was the crystal he was holding but the front end of it produced a massive blade at least three feet long and five inches in diameter, it was a crystal blue color with the hilt being white and elegantly shaped. "Whoa," he gawked, the blade felt lightweight yet it looked like it would weigh a good six pounds. The blade dissipated and he was left with the crystal again, he wondered how that happened but put the thought side as he ran back over to the injured Pokémon. "Hey," he whispered, rubbing its back a little bit, "you okay?"

The Lugia looked up at Alex and moved its wing, its head had a nice little gash in it and blood was starting to flow freely.

"Oh jeez, come on, let's get you out I know someone who can help you." he said, gesturing to his back, "climb on, I'll carry you out of here." The Pokémon looked unsure but climbed on anyway, putting its wings around Alex's stomach it held on as Alex put his arms around its leg and held the Pokémon in place. It was actually lightweight considering its size, it was about as big as a dog but lightweight like a cat.

He carried the Pokémon through the door and made sure to be very quiet, crouch walking through the halls he passed several doors where he heard people conversing. He didn't want to get caught, but life would probably get him caught because he was doing a good thing.

He felt the Lugia shuffle on his back and whispered, "don't worry buddy, we'll get out of here and be safe in no time."

The Lugia bent forward and licked Alex on the cheek, "Ooo~"

Alex Smiled and kept moving, hopefully towards an exit.


*With Dustin and Elijah*


"So… how do you know me?" Dustin questioned Eli who walked beside him.

Eli started to explain, crossing his arms, "I… well, I had this dream-"

"You dreamed about me?" Dustin rose an eyebrow, "Look bro I don't roll like that."

"Shut it!" Eli yelled, "not that kind of dream, I mean I had this dream where I woke up on a road." He looked off into the distance, "then I saw pallet town, it was all normal at first but then I fell, when I stood back and looked Pallet town was on fire and there was gunshots all around me. Then you came over t o me with a gun, you asked me about the Pokémon Center and someone else before the trees exploded and we were attacked by these… things, I don't know what they were."

"Wow… sounds like you had some trippy shrooms or something." the brown haired teen suggested with a laugh before getting punched in the arm, "ow!"

"This is serious man! What the hell is going on?" Eli asked, "I mean, with all the stuff going on in my town and me somehow ending up in… where am I?"

"You're in Hawaii dude," he told the blonde, "the tropics!"

"What?! how, why-ugh!" he flailed, rubbing his hair madly, "wait… where's Pikachu?"

"Say what?"

"I had a Pikachu with me back in my town! Where is she?!"

"Well, I haven't see one around the place, and I've been almost everywhere I've been here for a whole month." Dustin told Eli before putting a hand on his shoulder, "Eli."

"She's not safe out there alone, I have to find her!" Eli said before Dustin slapped him.

"Eli! Just calm down, we'll find her I promise. But now, we have to go to a safe place for now, but I promise you." He looked Eli in the eye, "we will find her, I promise."

Eli shakily nodded, he felt failure in his heart now. He had promised to protect her from harm, and now she was gone who knows where. He followed behind Dustin as he led him to where ever this safe place was.

Now that Dustin had heard Pikachu, he was reminded of his encounter with the voice from the phone, on board the Goliath of a plane.


*Flashback, one month ago, Dustin*


"You're kidding me right?"

"Nope," She said, staring at Dustin's face with a bemused look.

Dustin was guided by a voice to safety, and he expected a human but instead… it was a Pikachu, a female Pikachu. She was pretty normal looking for a Pokemon, if it wasn't for her bright red ruby eyes and the bandanna she wore around her neck. She sat in a swivel chair and had her hands held together as she looked at Dustin, "Hello, I am the voice form the phone. I am Agent Helix Tal'i, my friends call me Sara, you may not." She told him.

"Well my name is Dustin Dakota Von Trapsnap Luffy Mcsweeny Extravagant Nipple Pinchy Morin the third thrice removed on my Potato's side, nice to meet you~" He introduced himself, bowing with a smug expression. "My friends call me Dusty, you may not."

"Well," Helix started, "now that our introductions are out of the way time for you to learn some things." She held up a paw, "one I am the leader of this outfit, two you will listen to me regardless of what I tell you to do-"

"You mean to tell me a Pikachu is leading this whole outfit?" Dustin asked, "that's a big responsibility for someone so small."

"And three," she grinned, "if I so much desire to I will have your ass chucked out the back without a parachute."

"Yeah right," the Teen human scoffed, but one look into her eyes and he quickly said, "is what I would say if I didn't think you were serious." He laughed nervously, "wow she is scary."

"Good boy, now sit." She said, gesturing to a chair sitting in front of her.

He gulped and did as she asked, and once he sat down he noticed she had more computers than anyone else. Most of them looked to be top grade computer, high performance and detail. She had some keyboards attached to the arm rests on her chair that glowed a dark red, the monitors' glowed red as well.

"Okay listen up cause I'm only going to say this once kid," Dustin frowned at that but kept his mouth shut, "you're going to be an agent of ours like Tom told you, and we already have a mission for you." she typed at her computer without looking away from Dustin as she pulled up something on the monitor behind her, showing a large island, "you know where that is?"

"Um… Hawaii?"

"Well, looks like you're not so dumb after all." Helix commented, turning her chair around she typed in something and brought up the south east part, "here you will meet one of our contacts who will give you a case, inside will be a suit. You are to use it to infiltrate this area, and help two individuals escape."

"Question," Dustin raised his hand like a student, much to the amusement of Agent Helix, "Um… who are they? And how do I not get killed?"

"You're smart I assume, I can't tell if you are or not… what's two plus two?" She asked, turning around and holding up four fingers.

"Are you insulting my intelligence?" Dustin asked, tilting his head and glaring at the Pokémon. The way she said it sounded joking, but one look in her eyes told him she was asking a legitimate question.

"Well?"

"Its… four!"

"You hesitated, you had to think about it."

"Shut up!"

"Hmm, you're fun to mess around with." She cackled, "now get moving." she told him, smirking at his befuddled face as he was ushered out of the room. "Ahh newbies, what would I do without them?"

Dustin growled inhumanly as he left the room, though no one could see it his eyes flared a bright orange. He walked down the halls of the massive plane until he was sat down in a room and asked to wait, he crossed his arms and waited.

"This day… hell my life is starting to change, everything is changing."

"Life changes Dustin," Tidus told him, "everything won't stay the same forever, and if I recall… this is what you wanted right? To meet Pokémon, and go on some kind of adventure."

"Well if that happened I would be in the Pokémon world Tidus. I want to be there, not here fighting some dang battle. Heck I wanted to go there first but instead of being transported into your world I was thrust into Raccoon City, and forced to fight undead and Umbrella, and the more I did…"

"Just don't think about it, focus on your mission and rescue the two captives alright? I'll help out as much as I can."


*Time Skip*


The plane had flown over the island of Hawaii and dropped Dustin off in a rather… uncouth manner. Throwing him out the back with a parachute and watching him fall, until he pulled the chute and yelled some manner of profanity back at the jet.

He landed on the shore with a thud and quickly got up and ripped off the now useless pack, it would serve him no use to carry it with him. He crept his way towards the jungle foliage and cursed Helix for not giving him directions, he was pretty much Ash, his direction skill sucked.

But thankfully his phone vibrated and he swiftly answered it, "Yo?"

"Agent Helix here, your call sign is Jackdaw. Head north if you can find it, and there our contact will be waiting for you."

"Jackdaw, a bird? Really, now."

"Shut up and get moving or I'll have this plane fly into you, don't think I won't do it."

"Fine fine," he shut the phone and sighed, "jeez she's a mean boss." He looked up at the sky, pinpointing which way the clouds were moving and the position of the sun he found the route north and headed that way. He trekked through the jungle, the weather hot and the sun's ray beating down on him like a hammer.

He wondered just how hot it was, ninety? Or maybe a hundred he had no clue, but he kept moving. The jungle seemed to get thicker and thicker the more he moved though it, vines and huge trees, massive roots jutting up out of the ground and tall grass.

"If I get snake bit so help me."

He heard something akin to radio static and ventured towards it, he came across what looked like a small camp. A small tent and a table set up with a ham radio on it, he walked out in to the open and decided to be the idiot, "Yo!"

"Freeze!" someone yelled, coming up behind him and poking his back with something. The teen assumed it was a gun, "name?"

"Dustin?" he asked before he got poked again, "ow!"

"What is your name!"

"Dang it Helix, was there a code you neglected to tell me?" he thought and thought then yelled, "Jackdaw!" looking behind him and seeing the figure back off, then throw away a stick, Dustin sweat dropped, "I was held up with a stick?... well that's embarrassing on a massive scale."

"Agent Jackdaw, I'm Isis." The person said, now that Dustin wasn't scared out of his mind he heard it was a female, and a familiar one to.

"Really? Isis," he turned around and spotted the girl, she was about a foot shorter than him and he saw a strand of pink hair coming out of her hood, "or should I say, Mew."

The girl giggled, "you got me Dustin," she took the hood off, revealing it was indeed Mew, "so you got roped into this?"

"It would seem so… Hey," he looked around, "where are the Eon dragons?"

"They're safe, don't worry about them." Mew told him, putting a hand on his shoulder, "right now, you have to do this, infiltrate this place." She took her hand away and walked over to the tent and pulled out a uniform and helmet, "this I obtained for you to use," she handed it over hesitantly.

"Wait, I'm supposed to go under cover?"

"Yes… but."

"But what?"

"You have to be under cover for a whole month."

Dustin stared for the longest time, then cursed, "Helix you bi-"


*Flashback End*


"A whole dang month, ugh… that was the single most horrific time of my life." the brown haired thought as he arrive at the hotel, outside he spotted Alex's sister Emily and Mew and asked, "where's Alex?"

"He left a little while ago and hasn't come back yet," she explained, her hands held together nervously as Mew eyed Elijah who eyed her back, "I'm worried."

"Well heck, he couldn't have gone far let's go look for him," Dustin suggested, "also this is Eli, and if I am correct my job is done… sort of."

"Well come on, Alex might need our help." Mew told everyone, leading the way.


*Back with Alex*


Back inside the massive hidden Bunker complex Alex was still trying to find his way outside, he would go back the way he came but that as not possible, he had no idea how to get back. Three times he was almost caught and three times he almost slipped and fell off of a ledge he climbed across, only to end up coming across a dead end.

He contemplated just running until an exit showed up, but by the amount of guards he counted that was a death wish waiting to happen, "come on, where's the way out?!"

"Ooo~" the Lugia cooed once more, gesturing to the right with its head, "Ooooo~"

"Huh?" The teen looked to his right and was shocked, right there was a door to a staircase leading to an exit. "Good catch Lugia, nice." He started that way after giving the Small Pokémon on his back a nuzzle on the side of the head.

The walk over to the staircase was a short one and as he came up to the door, the worst possible thing happened, "Who are you!?"

Alex froze, "Oh no no no no no no no no!" he turned around, and behind him was a guard but not just any guard, the guard that he met when he was kidnapped!

"Hey… I know you!" The guard exclaimed, pulling out a pistol from his holster and aiming it at the young Alex, "hold it!"

"crap."

Before either of them could do anything their vision went white, Alex wrenched his eyes shut as his ears started to ring loudly. He had no idea what was going on, but whatever it was he hoped it would mean they get out of this place.

Once his ears cleared up some he heard some scuffling noises and the sound of a gunshot and ducked down, throwing his body over the small Pokémon and praying no one shoots them.

Finally after what felt like an eternity his eyes were not blurry anymore and looking behind him he spotted his younger sister, Dustin and Mew as well as a newcomer.

"Alex! are you okay?" Emily fell to his side, looking him over and spotting the Lugia she backed up some, "is that?"

"Yeah," the teen replied, moving so he could let them all see, "it's a Lugia."

"Oh my," Mew gasped, "what is Lugia doing here?"

"Does this… change things?" Dustin questioned, "I mean we've seen a lot, what's so different about Lugia?"

"I don't know, but let's get out of here before your friend here wakes up and decides to shoot us."


*Back at the hotel*
*One hour later*


"And that's when I found this little guy." Alex finished explaining, his hand resting on the head of the Lugia infant.

After the group escaped the facility they made their way back to the hotel, once they were back Alex began his tale. When he and his sister found the rock, when he went back and opened it up, his venture down into the dark depths and getting sucked down to the sub he found, and then finding the Lugia and finally encountering them.

"This is the…" Dustin counted off something on his fingers, "sixth legendary I've met so far."

"You've met six of them?!" Emily exclaimed, "how even?"

"Well first was Dialga, then a Latios named Tidus, then two more Lati, then Mew and now Lugia."

"Wow, you've been around?" Elijah asked, "I've met Palkia actually." He told them, "nice guy, kinda dark but he was cool."

Emily tilted her head, "Really?"

Eli nodded as Dustin asked, "Okay, I have officially located these three… now what?"

"Wait what?" Alex tilted his head, "what do you mean located?"

"Remember when I said you guys were hunted?" Dustin started, following up with air quotes, "well I'm 'working' for this group that is on the lookout for people like you, I was sent to this place to find you guys, and now that I did I wonder, what now?" The group shrugged in reply making Dustin fall down onto one of the chairs, he sighed heavily before throwing his arms over his head in exasperation.

Alex took a seat next to Dustin before asking, "I think you know more about all of this then you're letting on, Dustin," he accused the older teen, getting eyeballed in return, "you own us an explanation."

Emily looked back and forth between Mew and Dustin, "you both know something… don't you?"

The pink cat Pokémon looked said human in the eye, he looked back.

"How can we be expected to trust one another, if we don't even know anything about one another?" Elijah questioned, crossing his arms.

"… good point." Dustin agreed, turning to face Alex, "hey… I may just now be noticing this, but weren't your eyes a different color?" he asked, taking notice of Alex's blue eyes.

The teen made an oh face, "oh yeah… I forgot about that," he reached into his pocket and pulled out the crystal Dustin gave him a while ago, "when I touched this after I took a shower, it started shining brightly, and then my eyes burned." He gestured to his irises, "then they changed color, any clue what that means?"

Again a collective group shrug, "any clue what to do now?" Eli asked.

"I have no idea."
