I don't know why, but as some of you may notice, I am more motivated to do this story at the moment. I really wonder why.

Anyway, as I had said the previous chapter, it wasn't the end of volume 1. At least, not in this story~! And oh there are more surprises in here than in the previous one. Insane Dominator, you will definitely love Chapter 10 more than Chapter 9. And Chapter 11 too.

Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon or RWBY. I do not own Vanessa; she belongs to Insane Dominator. I do not own the opening, but I do own the images that goes with the song in this story.

The next day, after the White Fang incident, Team RWBYV was in their dorm, with Team JNPR. After Ruby blurted out that Vanessa wasn't from Remnant, the latter decided to just spill everything to both teams.

"... And that's how I got here," Vanessa ended. Everyone's reactions completely varies. Ruby and Nora's were awe and excitement, Weiss was in complete disbelief, Blake was... indifferent for lack of better words, Yang's was the same as Ruby with a hint of surprise, Jaune's was complete shock, Pyrrha and Ren's were in slight shock.

"So you're from a different world?" Weiss repeated, in which Vanessa nodded to.

"Your Pokemon are from the world you came from," Yang repeated, earning another nod.

"You reunited with your brother, who is somewhat similar to me in personality and has a girlfriend who looks like Pyrrha," Jaune followed, earning another nod.

"You traveled with your brother and his friends to find a way back to Fiore, which is a world filled with magic," Pyrrha followed after. Another nod.

"And instead of being with them, you somehow ended up in Remnant by mistake," Ren ended.

"That is pretty much it," Vanessa finished.

"So you're an alien!?" Nora asked excitedly.

"I'm not really an alien."

"But it sounds like you are!" Ruby protested.

"But why would you wait until now to tell us?" Yang asked.

"I didn't want to. I was planning that by the time I'm out of this world, then I'd tell you the truth. But considering everything that happened, I might as well tell you now before it's too late," Vanessa admitted.

"Well, that's understandable," Jaune said. "But don't worry, Vanessa. We'll find a way."

Vanessa raised an eyebrow. "'We'?"

"Yeah. We'll help you find a way back to him. Right guys?" He looked over to his teammates, who nodded their heads in agreement.

"This is going to be awesome! We're going to help an alien!" Nora practically shouted.

"She's not an alien," Ren corrected.

"We'll eventually go on missions. Maybe we'll find something from our clients about bringing you back to your world," Pyrrha suggested.

"Besides, your Pokemon pals aren't always going to be there to have your back if more of those Pokemon that want to kill you come," Yang pointed out. And yes, the event that happened the other day was also explained to the group.

Vanessa smiled at their words. "Thanks guys. I owe you for this."

"You can pay us back by teaching us more about your world," Ruby suggested.

"Ruby-" The otherworldly 15-year-old caught on to her plan. "You're not, by any chance, planning to follow me to my world, are you?"

The red-cloaked girl was baffled at how quickly she caught on to her and quickly covered it up. "What?! No. No. Pfft, no~." A suspicious look from Vanessa was all it took for her to stop playing stupid. "Okay, maybe a little."

"Ruby, as much as I understand how much you want to see my world, I don't know if Palkia is willing to help me bring you guys back here afterwards."

"But he helped your brother~!"

"Because he's Arceus's Chosen One. I'm just my brother's little sister. I don't think I have the same regulation as him in this kind of thing." Hearing those words from Vanessa's mouth caused Ruby to feel down.

"Oh cheer up Ruby. It just means once she reunites with her brother, we'll be able to travel to her world and back," Yang said. The leader of Team RWBY smiled softly at those words.

Blake looked out the window and saw something odd. "Are those shooting stars?"

They all looked at her in disbelief as they made their way to the window.

"That's impossible. It's in the middle of the afternoon." Weiss was proven wrong as they saw eight glints in the sky falling down to Emerald Forest.

"You were saying Weiss?" her partner asked.

"Let's check it out!" Nora suggested. "It might be a clue to Vanessa's ticket out of here!"

"I can't believe I'm saying this, but she has a point," Ren agreed.

"Then we'll split up in groups of two. Someone has to go alone though," Vanessa suggested, taking out her Pokeballs.

"I can go alone!" Ruby instantly volunteered. Before anyone could say anything, she left in the blink of an eye, leaving some rose petals.

"Someone really needs to keep a leash on her," Weiss said.

"Okay then. Here's what we'll do. I'll go with Blake. Yang, I'll give you Braixen. Weiss, Mawile. Jaune, Magnezone. Pyrrha, Goomy. Ren, Venusaur. And Nora, Krokorok. Speaking of, Nora, please don't make me regret pairing you up with him."

"Okay!" she replied.

"After we retrieve what we found, we'll meet back here. Agreed?" They all nodded in agreement to the idea. After handing out the Pokeballs, the rest of the group went their separate ways into the forest.

*WITH RUBY*

She rushed through the trees, heading for the meteorite that landed the farthest away from school. Weird thing though, was that as she traveled in the woods, there weren't any sign of meteorites anywhere. There weren't even any trees taken down or the smell of smoke.

'It couldn't be our imagination, could it?' she wondered.

She eventually arrived to at the abandoned temple at the northern end of the forest, where she could've sworn it was where the meteorite she was looking for had landed. She looked around, seeing nothing that even gives a hint of where the space rock was.

"Huh? This can't be right," she said. As though she was hoping for answer, she began to call out. "Hellooo~! Meteorite? Where are you?! I saw you fall and land here! At least, I could've sworn that's what I saw!" Unknown to her, a pair of red eyes was watching her every movement.

The girl was still calling to whatever had landed at the abandoned temple, only to recieve no reply. She heard the sound of growls and turned to see a pack of Beowolves approaching her. She was about to take out Cresent Rose, except for one little thing.

'I can't believe I left my baby at my dorm!' Yeah, so she thought.

She looked back at the soulless creatures before her, seeing that there was no way for her to escape. One of the wolf-like creatures pounced at her, only to be intervened by something. That something was a white creature standing on four legs. It had three blue claws on each feet with a spike on the back of each feet, a scythe-like tail, and a sickle-like horn on the side of its head. It also has a ruff around its neck and chest and a tuft of fur on the top of its head adorned with a blue oval.

"I'll create an opening. When I do, get as far away from here as possible, human," it spoke in a female voice.

Ruby was surprised to hear it talk. "Y-You can talk?!"

"Yes, I can talk. Razor Wind!" Her horn glowed as she swings down her head, releasing white crescent-shaped blade of energy at them. They all hit their marks and took down some of the Beowolves. "Now go! Run!" Ruby did as told and ran as fast as her Semblance could get her. With how fast she saw her get here, it didn't surprise the creature that much.

She noticed some of the wolves trying to follow her. "Quick Attack!" She ran past the Beowolves before her and, using her horn, cut down the ones who were attempting to chase the girl. "Your opponent is me!" Some of the Grimm went in to claw the creature. "Double Team!" She glowed and made copies of herself. The Beowolves hit their target, or so they thought as they actually hit the copy. They were hit from above by another Razor Wind attack. Some of them dissipated as the creature landed behind them. As she landed, she used Quick Attack to take out the ones that were affected by Razor Wind. After she was done with them, she wasn't able to react in time when the Alpha Beowolf went in to attack her. The Beowolf suddenly hit by an unknown force in the head and was forced back. The unknown force was actually Ruby, equipped with a long and sturdy stick.

"Why did you come back?" she asked.

"I couldn't just leave you here!" Ruby simply answered. "Also, I may not look like it, but I can fight."

The creature was about to say something, but decided against it. "Just be careful, human."

Ruby and the white creature both fought the Alpha Beowolf, seeing as it was the only Grimm left to kill. Both females charged at it with great speed, hitting it non-stop, to its annoyance. Unfortunately, that was all they did; annoy it, not damage it. The big black wolf raised its claws and attempted to attack Ruby, in which her companion had noticed. She got her on her back and hastily used Double Team, making copies of the two of them and escaping the attack.

"Whoa! How'd you do that?!" Ruby and her many clones asked. "Are you by any chance...?" Before she could finish her question, the creature had to jump out of the way of the next strike.

"For someone of your age and height, you're extremely light," she stated.

"What do you-?!" Ruby caught herself as an idea developed in her head. "That energy blade attack, can you charge it as you attack the Alpha?"

"I don't know. Why?"

"It might be enough. We just need to hit one spot. Think you can do it? I'll back you up."

The creature gave some thought to the idea. "I trust your words, human. Hang tight."

She charged at the Beowolf with Quick attack as she kept attacking it on the chest where the heart would be. The Beowolf didn't seem to notice that they were attacking the same spot, nor did it notice the creature's horn glowing. All it did was try to attack the two, only to miss every hit or be blocked by Ruby. As time pass and Absol kept landing small hits, her glowing horn was slightly getting bigger.

This didn't go unnoticed by Ruby, who signaled the release. "Now! Do it now! Fire!"

"Razor Wind!" The creature fired a crescent-shaped energy blade, twice as big as the previous ones. It hit its mark and destroyed the Beowolf.

"All right! You did it!" Ruby cheered.

"I guess I did, thanks to you, human," she agreed.

"My names not 'Human', by the way. It's Ruby. Ruby Rose. And who are you? Or is it what?"

Absol was silent at the question. Reluctantly, she introduced herself. "I'm an Absol. The Disaster Pokemon. I... Do not remember my name." The atmosphere became awkward as silence was the only thing that filled the area.

Ruby jumped off her back. "Then how about I give you a name? Until you remember your old one that is." Absol simply looked at her. "Your tail and horn look like scythes. And your energy blade looks like crescents... So how about Crescythe?"

"You just mixed 'crescent' and 'scythe' together," the creature, now identified as an Absol, bluntly stated. Ruby was a bit sad that the idea seemed rejected. "But, it sounds catchy." Her face suddenly beamed that she accepted the name.

"Then it's nice to meet you, Crescythe the Absol." Ruby stretched out her hand for a handshake.

Absol looked at the hand before raising her paw to accept it. "Nice to meet you as well, Ruby."

*WITH WEISS AND MAWILE*

The two girls were on their way to a lake in Emerald Forest, where they could've sworn was where one of the meteorites had fallen in. On their way there, Mawile was telling Weiss how she and Vanessa met.

"We met in Glittering Cave. Back then, I was deceiving trainers and Pokémon one after another," she began.

"And you're proud of that?" Weiss asked.

"Only because they would help me in battle. Besides, no one wanted to be with me anyway, so i thought by deceiving, they would become interested and have me teach them how to use them in a battle. But no one else thought of it that way, or saw it as such. None but Vanessa. I still remember it like it was yesterday."

*FLASHBACK*

Mawile was thinking of another deceiving idea that may help her in battle. Or at least, she tried to, but came up with nothing.

"If only a trainer comes in and catches me..." she thought out loud. She then heard footsteps approaching where she was. "Perfect timing!" She went into hiding.

The human that was walking by was Vanessa. "Did I already come here?" she wondered. "The moss in here is so pretty, I can't seem to help myself from distracting them." She heard crying. "Who's there?" She walked closer to the source and saw a crying Mawile, which is the same Mawile from before. "What's wrong?"

Just when Vanessa was about to put a hand on her, because Mawile's back was facing her, the Deceiver Pokemon moved her shown to her face and opened the jaws. Vanessa quickly moved away, saving herself from getting bitten. Before she could question what just happened, Mawile was facing her in a battle stance.

*END OF FLASHBACK*

"That's how you two met?" Weiss asked in disbelief. "Or are you pulling my leg?"

"That's the truth. Vanessa accepted my challenge and took out Krokorok to battle me. Because he was a Ground-type, I was in a disadvantage, even with my deceitful ways. But you know what Vanessa did in the middle of our battle?" The Huntress-in-training shook her head. "She gave me an advice." Weiss widened her eyes in slight shock. "That was my expression too. 'Why did she give me an advice when I'm her opponent?' Those were my exact thoughts. Yet despite that, I tried her idea, and it worked. I put that little Desert Croc in his place. After that, Vanessa applauded for me and said something that made me join her."

"What did she say?"

"'With how good you are at deceiving, there's no doubt that you'll be the smartest and trickiest Mawile the world has ever known. Any trainer would be lucky to have you on their team,'" she answered and quoted. "That was the first time anyone has said those words to me. So, in addition to joining her, I led her out of the cave."

Weiss couldn't help but smile softly at the story. "With all I'm hearing, now I can't help but wonder what your world is like. And if this 'Mega Something' is proof of a bond between trainer and Pokemon, I wonder... If I can have that bond."

"It's 'Mega Evolution'. And it's possible. Pokémon are like people. I met some Pokemon who act like their trainer. If there is a Pokemon meant for you, it must be waiting at home for you."

"If I can ever come that is," the heiress added to herself.

The two eventually arrived at the lake and saw something unusual. It was pretty much a blue bug. The bug had a round blue body and four thin legs. It had a yellow cap on its head and an antenna on the top. Below its close eyes are pink markings. The insect-like creature seemed to be skating and dancing on the lake.

"A Surskit?" Mawile gasped in disbelief.

"A what?" Weiss asked.

"The Pond Skater Pokémon. But how? No other Pokemon should be here." Both females had an idea of how. "Unless if-!"

"Those meteorites weren't meteorites!" Weiss finished. She was about to go inand stop the thing, assuming it came for Vanessa, when she couldn't help but see how much fun the thing's having, skating around the lake so elegantly. "Hey... Can we wait until after it's done dancing?"

"Huh?! What are you talking about?!" Mawile demanded.

"I hope you realize I can hear you both from here," came a voice not so familiar to them. They turned and saw the Surskit on solid ground, staring at the two. "What are you two here for? You've completely ruined my rhythm."

"You're here for something aren't you? Just like the previous group," the Steel/Fairy-type accused.

Silence only fell upon them. "Before you ask for something, it's good manners to introduce yourselves first," the Pond Skater Pokemon said.

Mawile and Weiss stood dumbfounded at the reply.

"Um... Well, I'm Weiss Schnee. Heiress to the Schnee Dust Company," the human introduced. "And this is Mawile."

"Nice to meet you I guess," Mawile bowed slightly.

"I'm a Surskit, as you said before, jaw-horn," the Bug/Water-type said, getting a 'Hey!' from her fellow Pokemon. "As for my name and why I'm here, how should I know? I woke up and found myself falling. Had I not use Bubblebeam, I wouldn't have made a safe landing. Honestly, what was I doing, falling from the sky like that?"

Mawile and Weiss glanced at each other in slight confusion with what they were witnessing. What they assumed was a Pokemon sent to destroy Vanessa was actually a Pokemon with an amnesia, making it hopeless to ask how it got here. Unless if she was faking it.

"Well, we have a friend who knows a lot about your kind, besides Mawile. No offense," Weiss quickly apologized.

"None taken," she accepted.

"So how about you come with us?"

"I refuse," the Surskit quickly replied. "I'm not going with a bunch of strangers to anywhere."

"Even if it might lead you to a clue about your past?" Mawile asked.

"Tempting. But no."

"Then how about a duel? You vs me," Weiss suggested.

"A human vs a Pokemon? Amusing, but do you really think a human like you has a chance against even a Pokemon like me?"

"You won't know unless you try." Weiss took out her rapier. "Mawile, leave this to me." Her Pokemon companion nodded her head and backed away.

It was silent as Weiss and Surskit stared down at each other. A leaf left its branch and gently fell to the lake. Once it landed safely on it, both contestants charged at each other.

"Bubble Beam!" Surskit released a stream of blue bubbles from her antenna at Weiss, who used her fencing skills to pop them all before they could hit her.

A glyph appeared below her and Weiss rushed to Surskit with amazing speed.

"Water Sport!" Surskit shot water from her antenna, which spread out all over the field, creating puddles. This caused Weiss to slip in one and fall flat on her face.

"Okay. I didn't see that coming," she said getting back up.

She looked back at her opponent, who was skating all over the field with great grace. Weiss couldn't help but be mesmerized by the movements. Once she saw that the Pokemon was coming closer to her, she quickly turned the dial on her Myrtenaster, causing it to glow blue. She stabbed it down, having ice to form all over the field, much to her opponent's surprise as she was suddenly stuck on ice. Weiss took this chance and rushed at her with her rapier, only to stop, with her blade directly at Surskit's face.

"... You're not bad, for a human," she admitted. Weiss smiled at her words and got her out of the ice. "I'll come along. But only to meet this person who you said would help me."

"Sounds good enough to me," Weiss agreed. Both made their way to Mawile, who led them out of the woods.

*WITH BLAKE AND VANESSA*

The two members of Team RWBYV were walking deep in Emerald Forest, looking for whatever landed in the direction they were going to.

"It couldn't be a coincidence, could it?" Vanessa asked. "I mean, eight meteors landing on the same planet in the same place. That's not possible."

"Which means that there's a chance that whatever landed here might help you find a way back to your world or your brother," Blake added. "But what do you think they are?"

"I don't know. There's only one way to find out."

They stopped in their tracks when they saw something faintly glowing in a bush. Both slowly made their way over to it and parted the leaves. Imagine Vanessa's surprise at the sight of the thing that was faintly glowing.

"A... A Pokémon Egg? But how can that be?" she questioned.

"Wait, what?" Blake asked.

Vanessa ignored the question and picked up the egg. "We need to take this back to the dorm." She shoved the egg in Blake's hands. "You should hold onto it."

The cat Faunus was baffled at the sudden responsibility. "Wait, what?!"

"You're the most nimble of the two of us. And with your semblance, the egg is in safer hands."

Blake was about to argue, but found herself agreeing to Vanessa's point. "I guess we should hurry on back then." With that, they both head back to their dorm.

*WITH YANG AND BRAIXEN*

While they were searching in a different area in Emerald Forest, Yang and Braixen met up with trouble. This trouble would be defined as several bears and a few wolves.

"Of all times to pick up some Ursas and Beowolves," Yang joked.

"Not really the ideal time for jokes, don't you think?" Braixen stated.

"There's always time for jokes."

One of the Ursas charged in to attack them. Yang noticed and fired a shot at it, forcing it back. At that point, all the creatures of Grimm surrounding them rushed in for their attacks. Braixen used her Fire Spin to put up a firewall, forcing them to distance themselves away from the girls. Yang took this chance to fire more shots at some of them while Braixen used Psyshock to end the ones she attacked. Braixen then used Light Screen, mainly for Yang, as she gestured that it was okay for her to pass the vortex and go crazy. The blonde girl smiled at the permission and charged out of the flames and relentlessly fought the remaining Grimm. One Beowolf tried attacking her from behind, in which Braixen noticed.

"Yang! Behind you!" The girl took a glance behind her to see a Grimm about to hit her, when a small roar was heard and something rammed itself into it, pushing it away from Yang.

Standing between her and her would-be killer was a lion cub whose fur were in two different shades of brown. The cub also has a short rounded muzzle with a red nose and round ears. On top of its head is a tuft of reddish-orange fur and the end of its tail was in a pointed teardrop shape.

"Nobel Roar!" she shouted, as a loud yet young voice came out of her mouth, seemingly to slightly frighten the remains. Yang and Braixen took this chance and defeated the rest of the Ursas and Beowolves, with the lion cub's help.

"Thanks for the save, little guy," Yang thanked.

"I'm not a guy; I'm a girl!" the cub corrected.

"Gee, sorry."

"Excuse my friend here," Braixen requested. "As you may know, I am Braixen. This is Yang. Who are you?"

"I'm a Litleo! I don't know what my name is, but I don't care!" she proudly introduced.

Both looked at her in shock.

"You don't know your name but you're okay with it?" Yang asked.

"Why wouldn't I? My name might be a sucky for all I care! Besides, I don't know how I got here. First thing I remember and see when I woke up, I was falling. It's a good thing my body remembers how I can land from high places, even though the situation was different."

The two started to feel a bit of sympathy for the free-cub. They then smiled at each other after forming an idea in their head.

"How about you come with us? We could-"

"No," came the Litleo's instant reply as she cut Yang off.

"Why?"

"I don't want to go anywhere with a blonde bimbo like you." And wrong choice of words were made.

"Who are you calling a bimbo, cub?!"

"I know who you are, but what am I?"

Braixen got between them. "Okay, let's all just calm down for a moment here."

"Stay out of this!" both hot-heads shouted, forcing the Fox Pokemon to let them continue their fight. Next thing she knew, they actually did fight... Until it became late afternoon.

Yang and the Litleo were lying on their backs, exhausted from the back and forth between the two.

"You really are strong, for a human..." the Pokémon said.

"You're not too shabby yourself there, cub," Yang commented back. She then raised a hand to her. "How about calling this a draw?" The Lion Cub Pokemon agreed to that idea and raised a paw and made an attempt to hold her hand. "So... Remember anything?"

"Not really. Just more about fighting."

"Well, you might remember something else if you come along with us," Braixen suggested.

"I fully agree. Besides, I want to settle this match," the brawler said. Litleo nodded to the plan in agreement as well. Yang slowly got up. "Well, let's go back then Braixen, Leona."

Litleo perked her head up at the name. "Leona?"

"Well, might as well call you something other than Litleo, right? Besides, it sounds cooler than Litleo."

The cub was in deep thought at the new name. "Leona... Yeah... I love it!" She suddenly jumped in Yang's arms. "Lead the way to your home, Yang, Braixen!"

"Yeah!" Yang raised a fist.

'I feel like there's two Yangs now,' Braixen sighed.
