~Teransu and Anubis are seen climbing off of Solgaleo's back at the Altar of the sunne.~
~Teransu's POV~
(Hmm, I don't like the way Anubis looked when I came to his rescue. He seems broken. I can't return him to his family like this, I'll just have to snap him out of this funk. Sorry Spencer, but it looks like I'll be holding on to Anubis for a bit longer.) Examining Anubis closely I realized that he was still shaken up by being in Ultra Space. (Time flows differently in Ultra Space than it does in other places, so who knows how long he could have been in their for.) I slowly approached Anubis and rubbed his head lightly. As I did, he jumped in shocked and knocked my hand away. "Ah, I take it you don't remember me," I calmly said looking him in the eyes. "N-No, I don't know any humans. How is it you know me," He said seemingly shaken up.
I quickly threw my hand behind my head and laughed a bit. "Well, I know you from two different sources. The first is through Snow, Lycan, and Tiger, they're the small group of Pokemon I sent to train at the college you do, and secondly, I guess you could say that I'm your father's trainer," I said smiling. Anubis's eyes widened with shock and confusion! "What?! You're kidding," he yelled seemingly dumbfounded. "Nope, dead serious," I said laughing and returning Leonidas to his Luxury Ball. "Listen, I hate to ask this of you, but will you have a battle with me," I asked. His eyes widened for a sec and at the same time he took a nervous step backwards. "N-NO! I-I don't-wanna battle," I said looking down at his shaking paws. Seconds later, I began to notice tears roll down his face. (Mm, like I thought. He's lost the will to fight. I guess this is a job for Lykaios. I believe he'll be able to help Anubis recover.)
Exhaling deeply I slowly walked past Anubis. "Anubis, follow me, I have to do one thing before I return you home," I said smiling. He nervously nodded and followed. As we left the Altar of the Sunne, we quickly headed to Ten Cara Hill. "What is this place," Anubis asked. "This is Ten Cara Hill, this is where I break you out of that traumatized state you're in," I said determinedly staring him in the eyes. "I'm not going to fight… I'm not going to do anything," he said looking down and holding himself in pain. "Hmph, in that case, just die then," I yelled grabbing Lykaios's Love ball and throwing it near Anubis. Lykaios instantly appeared with pink hearts floating around him. "Y-you can't be serious," Anubis yelled. "He's serious about everything he does," Lykaios said growling at Anubis. "Anubis, these will be my final words to you… If you don't fight, you will die here and now," I said backing up a bit.
~Anubis's POV~
(Damn it, I'm too scared to move. But why? Why am I so scared… I guess it's because I've been in Ultra Space for what sempt like forever. It was so cold and lonely. I was drifting endlessly without any sense of control.) My body suddenly began to shake in fear once again. (It's scared. It's scared because it doesn't know when or if another wormhole will open and drag me back to Ultra Space.) "Damn it, I don't wanna go back," I said falling to the ground. "Lykaios, Accelerock," Teransu yelled. Within a second I could feel myself being tackled hard into the nearby cliff wall. (Damn it! If I don't fight, I'll die, and I'm pretty sure dying would be worse than being trapped in Ultra Space.) Then, I suddenly heard Teransu yelled "Fire Fang." Looking up in pain, I quickly raised my arm only have it bitten by Teransu's Lycanroc using Fire Fang. I twitched in pain and stared the Lycanroc in his now red bloodthirsty eyes.
(Damn it! I wanna live! If I live on I'll be able to see all my loved ones again, I'll be able to kiss on Sylph, and hug on my parents. I'll be able to see all my friends, and even achieve my dream. So, I can't die here! But, if I live on, I'll run the risk of being trapped in Ultra Space again! No, I can't think like that, the moment I do, my body will give into fear and I'll be unable to battle. I won't let that happen!) Now looking Teransu's Lycanroc in the face with a determined stare. I quickly formed an aura sphere in my free paw and uppercutted his Lycanroc off me! Slowly, I began to stand and crack my paws ready to fight.
"Hmph, I'm not surprised. Lykaios, it's time for the real battle. Stone Edge to Splintered Storm Shards," He yelled suddenly being to dance. (Huh? A z-move?!) Seconds later, Lykaios growled and jumped high in the air. As he did a countless number of sharp rocks rose from the ground and quickly surrounded me! Within seconds they tilted towards me. (This doesn't look good, I'm going to have to knock him out to cancel the move.) Suddenly, I crossed my arms and prepared to use Cross Chop. In that moment, Lykaios roared and charged at me! As he did the rocks quickly followed. I quickly ran towards them and dodged a good number, but as I drew close to Lykaios the rocks got more aggressive and started to cut me on multiple parts of my body. I didn't let the pain stop me, cause if I did, I would have surely died. Now face to face with Lykaios I quickly Crossed Chopped him near the neck only to have him grab me with his tail and hold me down while the remaining rocks hit me!
As the dust settled, I found myself laying on the ground, unable to move, with my paws buried by piles of rock. Lykaios quickly stepped in front of me and laughed. "You know, if I were just a regular Rock-Type, I probably would have been defeated already," he said. "Lykaios, looks like the battle is over, we win," Teransu said rubbing Lykaios's messy fur. "Anubis, you're strong, but you definitely could be stronger. Unfortunately, I don't have the time to train your properly. I gotta get you back to your family before your Dad begins to worry even more," Teransu said helping me up. (Huh, now that I'm feeling better I can actually think clearly.) "I'm still a bit shocked that you're the person that trained Lycan and Tiger," I said. Teransu laughed a bit to what I said. Moments later, he began healing my wounds. "Tiger and Lycan are my little brothers. Teransu may have trained them, but it was definitely me who disciplined them," Lykaios said looking towards the sky. (Seriously?! If him and Tiger are this strong, I'm scared to think of just how strong Lycan is.)
"Anubis, are you feeling better," Teransu asked helping me stand. "Yeah, much better, thanks," I said warmly. "Good, now we can get you back home and be done with you," Lykaios said moving to Teransu's side. "Lykaios, behave," Teransu said scratching at the fur on Lykaios's neck. (Hmm, I wonder just how lose the two of them are?) Closing my eyes quickly to examine their bond, I found that the two of them were nearly inseparable. Their aura's seemed to be tightly intertwined. Opening my eyes, I began to realize something. (Huh, I never would have thought that the bonds between a human and a Pokemon could be so strong. I really need to do more research on this. Before that, I wanna try examining the bonds of my friends.) Suddenly, I felt Teransu place his warm hand on my head saying: "Let's get you home." I smiled and followed as him and Lykaios began to walk away.
~Meanwhile in the Kosmos Region, It appears to be nighttime at the Pokemon Battle College. Rinn The Shiny Zorua is seen lying on the roof of the dorms building staring at the full moon.~
~Rinn's POV~
(Why can't I shake this feeling that something bad is going to happen?) As I later there looking at the moon, I could feel something inside me grow stronger. It was like a weird desire thingie pulling on me. It was almost like it was calling me. Slowly beginning to look into the distance, I could see a bright flash of light appear in Acorn Forest. "That's definitely not normal," I said quickly standing in shock. As I stood there, I began to get the uncontrollable urge to take action. (Could that be the thing calling me?) "I can't stand here any longer," I said quickly running and jumping off the school's rooftop and into the nearby trees of Acorn Forest. As I jumped from tree to tree towards that flash of light, I could feeling something inside me beginning to act up. (I don't know what the feeling is, but whatever it is, it's definitely calling me.) A few minutes of me jumping from tree to tree pass, and as they do, I began to see something close by.
(Is that a Pokemon?) Quickly leaping out of the tree, I noticed the faint light of an injured Charizard's burning tail. Beginning to approach slowly, I found that the Charizard was unconscious, it also seems to be laying on top of a brown skinned Human who also seemed to be knocked out. "Hmm, if I had to guess, I'd say that this Charizard was trying to protect it's trainer from something," I said to myself. (What could have left the two of them injured like this?) As I drew closer to the two the Charizard slowly began to open his eyes. "Woah, thank goodness," I said jumping back. He quickly pushed himself up and looked at his trainer to check his vital signs. "At least you're okay," he mumbled. Seconds later, he stood and growled at me. As he did, the flame on his tail glew a bright red. "Who are you," He yelled. I jumped back in shock. (Geez, this guy is serious!) "M-my name is Rinn, I was passing by when I just so happen to stumble across you and your trainer," I said yelling in fear. "We-Agh," The Charizard quickly grabbed his head in pain and feel to his knees. "I can't remember," he said.
(Huh? Could he really be suffering from amnesia? Either way, I should really get them out of here. This region isn't exactly kind to Trainers.) "Hey, listen, I know a place that you could take your trainer to recover, but we kinda gotta go now before other Pokemon come," I quickly said. "I guess I don't really have a choice," he said picking up his trainer and following me out the Forest. (I definitely can't take him to the Battle College, so I guess I'll just have to take him to my sister's house in Zerfe Town. As long as we avoid the main road, we'll avoid being noticed. Also, I'm pretty sure Gowther won't mind if I let them live there in my place for a bit.)
~Later that night at the Port town known as Zerfe, A few female Zoroark is seen at her house finishing up a few dishes.~
~Gowther's POV~
"And that's that," I said quickly wiping the sweat off my forehead and walking over to the front room to go chill on the couch. (I haven't seen my adorable little brother in awhile, I hope he's doing well in college and not getting fucked senseless by that idiot boyfriend of his. Ugh, Rinn can be such a handful sometimes...) "I don't think I'll ever get what Rinn sees in Drago," I said exhaling loudly. As I did, I suddenly heard loud knocking coming from the front door. "Huh? Who could that be at this hour," quickly walking over towards the door, I looked through the peephole and saw Rinn standing in front of an injured Charizard carrying a Human!? I quickly opened the door. "Rinn, what the hell is this-," "Gowther, we don't have time for this. I promise I'll tell you about it later, but right now they need help, and this is the only way I know how to help them," Rinn said interrupting me. I exhaled deeply and invited them inside. "Place your trainer on the couch there, I'll prepare something that'll help him recover. Rinn, you come too," I said kicking my little brother into the kitchen.
(I'll make some berry stew, that'll definitely wake that trainer up.) As I gathered the ingredients I needed to make this dish, I began questioning Rinn. "I find it so funny how you think you can just show up with no warning with an injured stranger," I said glaring at him from the corner of me eye. "Sis, I couldn't just do nothing… Literally, I felt like I was being drawn to that trainer," He said looking at me all serious. (Drawn to him? Could it be that Rinn and that Trainer were destined to meet? I've heard of that happening to Pokemon, but never a Human and a Pokemon.) "Rinn, you… Nevermind keep that Charizard company. I'll be in there once this done with this," I said slowly turning my back to him.
~Rinn's POV~
Heading into the front room, I couldn't help but notice the Charizard resting his head on his trainer's forehead. (Wow, I didn't know that a Human and a Pokemon could share such a strong bond. Then again, I shouldn't be so surprised. After all, I only decided to help them because of that connection I felt to him. I want to experience the bond a Human and a Pokemon can achieve together.) I quickly approached the Charizard. "Hey, what's your name," I asked sitting on the couch across from them. "My name is Blaster. What's your cutie," he lustfully said. As he did, he appeared to be moving his head from his trainer. I didn't catch on to the lustful thing he said right away. "I'm Rinn… Wait! Did you you call me-," "Rinn, shut up before you wake the trainer," Gowther yelled interrupting me from in the kitchen. I blushed in shocked and looked at Blaster dumbfoundedly. He laughed a bit and looked back at his unconscious trainer. "I shouldn't… Not when Nol is in this condition, and on top of that, you're only a Zorua, a cute, tiny, and Shiny Zorua whose insides I'd destroy end up destroying," he softly said.
(Seriously?! Does he really think I'm not able to take him?! I bet I could take twice your size, chump!) I looked him in the eyes smiling, only to turn my back to him and raise my tail to show my cute pink entrance. "Wanna try me," I whispered. "Food's done," Gowther suddenly said entering. As she did, I quickly lowered my tail and turned back around. She seemed to be carrying two bowls, one for Blaster and the other for Nol. As she approached, he handed Blaster a bowl, then sat next to Nol. She lightly lifted his head and slowly poured a little bit of the Berry Stew into his mouth. As she did Nol's eyes could be seen twitching. Seconds later, he suddenly shot up from the couch and held his forehead. "Nol, thanks for taking forever," Blasters said looking away from him in anger. (Huh? What was that for, he seemed so close to Nol when he was knocked out.) Trying to calm and collect himself Nol quickly exhaled. "Rinn, Gowther,Thank you," he said smiling only to end up jumping from the pain that began to surge through his body. "Huh!? We've never met before, so how do you know our names," Gowther asked putting the stew down in front of him.
"Well, that's a bit tricky to explain. But, I know you through Blaster. You see, when a Pokemon and their trainer share a strong bond with each other, they're able to enter a state known as Synchronization. To be quick, when Blaster rubbed his forehead on mine, I synced with him and was able to see and hear through him," he said picking up the Berry Stew from in front of him. (Seriously?! That's a thing?! Wait, could that also have something to do with why I was drawn to him?) I smiled and suddenly jumped in Nol's face only to be pulled away and held up by Blaster. "Nol, I have so many questions for you-," "Rinn, calm down, he just woke up, he needs time to recover," Gowther said interrupting me. After that, she quickly stood and grabbed some items to wrap up and clean Nol's wounds. As she did Nol thanked her and looked at me smiling. "Rinn, I'm guessing you wanna know why you feel such a strong connection to me, even though we don't even know each other, right," he asked. Being put down by Blaster, I looked at Nol with amazement and shock, all while nodding frantically. "Well, honestly, it's because me and you apparently are in close sync with each other. I already told you about Synchronization, but I didn't tell you that it goes much deeper than just that. It's capable of linking two or more individuals through time and space, and it's for that reason that me, Blaster, and the others ended up in this universe…," The second he said that I felt like I just got hit with a strong gust of wind. (This is some seriously deep stuff. Me and Nol, connected? Huh, this is definitely unlike anything I've felt before. This feeling I now have transcends all my others ones.) "That's seriously deep. Nol, does this mean you're gonna try and take my little brother away from me," Gowther asked bringing an awkward silence to the room.
Nol quickly finished off his stew and tried to break the awkward silence. "Well, I'm not just gonna kidnap Rinn and force him to come with me. Firstly, I don't even know where I am, and secondly, I'm way too injured to go back to wherever I was," he nervously said laughing. "Oh, well, in that case feel free to stay here for as long as you need. Just make sure you don't make your presence too known, not too many Pokemon like humans in this region," Gowther said grabbing the finished stew bowls from Blaster and Nol. "Thank you, we appreciate the hospitality," Nol said looking at Blaster waiting for him to do the same. Blaster quickly looked away and pouted. "Geez, Blaster," Nol said underneath his breath.
"Rinn, I'm not going to force you to do anything, but if down with living an adventure filled with me and Team Yaoi, you're welcome to join up with us," He said warmly smiling. I couldn't help but stare at him while being lost in deep thought. (It all boils down to me. If I go with him, whenever he leaves, I'll have to leave college and all of my friends with it…) "Huh, what's Team Yaoi," I asked cluelessly.
To Be Continued...
