"This is no time for ease and comfort. It is time to dare and endure" - Winston Churchill
It is early in the morning as Zack is out on the balcony stretching his arms. He looked up at the sky like it was going to disappear any moment. Though the train of thought was disrupted when he felt a presence behind him.
"Morning, i guess" Nicole walked up into the balcony as she leaned on the railing.
"How long," Nicole simply asked as Zack turned to her with confusion.
"Hm?"
"Don't try to play stupid, the two of us know that you and Kuroda aren't suppose to be in this time, yet, the two of you transported here and somehow manage to restart your aging process but kept your memories, so tell me, how long," Zack looked at her for a moment before he turned back looking up at the sky.
"I don't know, for one thing, we stayed in this timeline since we were 3, then of course, I lost track of how many times we altered the past….surprised we both didn't vanished yet," Zack closed his eyes as a breeze came by.
"You know, I never thought I'd ask, but, what is the purpose of your mission in this timeline, From what I can feel, it has to be something personal to you huh," Nicole added but Zack didn't say anything as his eyes were still closed.
"Well, am I right?" Nicole stood up straight as she looked at Zack who sighed.
"Let's just say, I came back in time so I can see my parents and keep them alive," Zack said with reluctance.
"And Kuroda?" Zack shrugged and shook his head at Nicole's question.
" that guy, I don't know, his motives for going back in time is to prevent something that he failed to do in the future, well…...we both failed but I lost the most….."
After that sentence the two stayed quiet for a while before Nicole spoke up.
"You know, That Ash actually looks pretty cute," She said bluntly as Zack turned to her with an eyebrow cocked.
"wait what?" Nicole waved her hand to Zack as to drop the subject.
"Forget it, I don't think you will understa…"
"do it," Nicole looked at Zack with a surprised look as Zack cut her sentence with an answer.
"You sure? I mean, this will also…"
"No it's fine, beside, remember when you said that me and Kuroda restarted our aging process when we got to this time," Nicole nodded.
"Well, it also affected our position in time as well, so no matter what happens, we won't vanish, because we embedded ourselves in this time," Zack then turned back to the inside as he slid open the door.
"we might want to keep this quiet, I rather not spoil time while it is still fragile at the moment," Zack's eyes flashed a low red-blue glow before turning back to normal as he walked back in leaving Nicole out on the balcony confused by what he said.
"time fragile…." she muttered as she looked up at the sky as the clouds passed by.
Tessa POV
I woke up with a blue and purple cloud ball in my face. Yep, great way to start the morning I guess.
"Pew Pew!"
Nebby flew around the room happily as I groggily sat up from the bed and rubbed my eyes to get some of the gunk out of them before I stretched my arms and yawned as Nebby came over and nuzzled my cheek. I giggled as I grabbed Nebby and held him up near the ceiling.
"Morning Nebby, you slept well?" I asked the little pokemon which in response was him smiling and crying out his name as he flew from my hands into the air doing a twirl.
I giggled as I got out of bed and stretched my arms and legs as I opened the door that led from my room to the living room. The second I opened the door a strong and very aromatic smell hit my nose causing my mouth to water.
"Morning Tessa!" Serena called from the kitchen as she is cooking dinner.
Alexa only held up one hand as a hi as she is sitting at the couch watching TV with her espeon next to her sleeping as she petted the psychic cat pokemon.
"Morning Serena! Morning Alexa!" I exclaimed as I walked over to the dining table with Nebby next to me floating in the air looking around for something.
I smiled as I stood up and walked over to one of the cabinets and took out a bag of star candies which Nebby cried out happily as he flew around my head to my amusement. As I sat back down at the table while pouring out a bowl of Star Candies for Nebby, Serena walked over and placed down a plate of eggs and bacon.
"Thanks Serena!" I smiled as I begin to dig in immediately like Nebby who dug in his bowl of Star Candy.
As I finished up my breakfast, I stood up to bring the plate over to the sink. Just as I was near the sink, I felt my body tense up. I couldn't move, I was panicking as I was scared of what is going on. My vision went crazy as events and images flooded through my mind. The visions passed by me as it felt like I am in a subway train going faster than a jet. Though just I felt like screaming, a scene popped up in my mind.
It was...Zack and Kuroda….except that they looked a bit older and also their clothings looked a bit ancient. I looked down at my myself and saw I had a cloak on with a skirt and also some kind of uniform shirt. I looked back up and saw that they placed hoods over their head covering their faces. Suddenly a sound of a door banging caught my attention as I looked over to the noise, only for me to find myself pulled to Zack face to face as I saw a portal opening behind him with Kuroda holding a pokeball in his hand. I looked back up at Zack who only nodded as the next thing I knew was being thrown into the portal with Kuroda and Zack turning their backs from the portal looking at something.
CLANG CRASH
The plate broke into pieces on the floor as I fell back on my bottom as I held my head in pain, except there was no pain except fear. I felt a hand grabbing on me as I turned around. Serena's face was worried while Alexa was looking at me with a concerned look and behind her was….Kuroda and Lillie. Lillie was on Kuroda's back as it seems as she is getting a piggy back ride from him. The three girls looked at me with concern but as I looked at Kuroda, his face looked like he was surprised.
"Tessa, you okay?" Serena asked soothingly as she held me on the shoulders which I only could nod hesitantly.
I looked over to Kuroda as he was whispering something to Lillie as she nodded. I then saw him gently place her down on the couch as he nodded to Lillie before walking over to me to my confusion.
"Tessa, can you walk?" He asked as he held out a hand which I took as he helped me stand up.
"Yeah, but where are we going?" I asked him as he gestured me to the door ignoring the girls confused look towards him.
"There is something that I am pretty sure you need to know about your past…" he said as I walked out the door with him closing it and gestured me to follow him as we head toward the boys dorm.
"My past?" I asked confused but then remembered that one scene before I came back to consciousness.
"Zack and I will explain all of it, though I want you to not tell anyone, if they find out, your life will be the one in danger," I looked at him with a scared look as his eyes flickered with his aura activating instinctively as he gave me a serious look.
The two of us continued down the hallway, then to the elevator, then from the lobby of the hotel to outside to an empty garden where I saw Zack waiting for us as he played with a pokeball. Zack looked over to us and his eyes also started to flicker as well as I looked at the two boys in confusion.
"Um, why are we here?" I asked the two boys as their eyes were glowing now to my nervousness.
"Tessa, it is time to show you the real past, your true memories," Kuroda nodded towards me as I looked at Zack as he placed a hand on my forehead making me lose my consciousness as I felt like being pulled away from reality.
I woke up with a start as I looked around my surrounding. I see trees and a river…..this is Kanto. I sat up and looked at the water and noticed my appearance. I had long blonde hair, clothing that was like a rancher as I had a yellow type of vest clothing with a black long sleeve shirt with blue jeans and purple boots. As I looked down at the water closely, I saw I had brown eyes instead of my blue-grey eyes.
"Hey Yellow, where are you!" a voice called out which I turned to see a boy who is taller than me and had a red-white short-sleeve jacket, a red-white hat,blue jeans, and had black messy hair.
"Over here!" I mentally was shock as I seem to speak as if I was pre-recorded and that the words weren't my words.
"Hey Yellow, we are about to go, so come on," The boy held his hand out to me as I felt my mouth curled into a smile as I grabbed his hand.
"Okay Red!" I said smiling.
Zack POV
I looked down at Tessa as she lied in her bed with Nebby sleeping next to her soundly. I looked up at Kuroda who stood out in the balcony with his pichu on his shoulder as he scratched her ear as she cooed. I walked over to him as I turned back to Tessa momentarily just to sigh as I stood by him.
"You worried about her?" Kuroda asked with looking as his pichu jumped off his shoulder and scampered over to Tessa's bed before I looked back to him.
"Sort of, except I am still a bit shock about our past selves. Never knew that we are reincarnations of what we were before," I said.
Kuroda only looked at the sky as he turned to me with his eyes becoming serious.
"Yeah, from the past, we may be known as Red, Yellow, Blue, and Green, though I am sure Ash and Serena don't know who they were before either," he said and as soon as I got that, I turned to him immediately.
"Wait...Ash and Serena were in our past?" I asked him with curiosity as he sigh.
"Geez, you act just like your past self even after all these years," he retorted as he shook his head to my annoyance.
"Same back at you I guess, anyway, back to the Ash and Serena past self subject," I said with a serious tone only for a noise in the back of us going off yelling about pokemon attacks.
Me and Kuroda turned only to see Pichu and Nebby watching the TV where Ash was on screen with Greninja dominating a trainer who had a Sceptile as that trainer was struggling. I turned back to Kuroda who seemed to have no interest in that battle as he looked back at the sky.
"I guess it wouldn't hurt to tell you who were Ash and Serena in the past…..and Calem.." when he said Camel's name, my eyes widen as I needed to know this information.
Tessa POV
I followed Red as I was unsure where we are going until I saw two other people. One was a girl that had a white hat along with a blue tanktop and a red skirt with light blue knee length socks and red shoes along with flowing brown hair and brown eyes. The other guy looked similar to Gary except he wore a black long sleeve jacket that is button up and also brown jeans. The girl waved over to us while the other guy just huffed as he seemed impatient.
"Red! Yellow! Hurry, we have to go!" the girl called out to us smiling as Red waved back as I looked up at him.
"Got it Green, Hey Blue, you good?" Red called out to the orange spiky hair kid who just waved a hand up before placing it back into his pocket.
"Just get over here so we can finish this once and for all Red," Blue said with an unamused face as he took out a pokeball that looked a bit bulky.
As we reached them, several other people appeared and as I looked around, I noticed two people who seemed to stand out from the group, one that looked a little similar to Ash and Serena but are very different at the same time.
"X and Y, tell us how to defeat Yveltal before things get out of hand," Blue said with a frown to the two.
Kuroda POV
"That is who they are," I said to Zack who only looked at me like a kid who saw a pokemon for the first time.
"No way….they were actually X and Y?!" he yelled but I quickly shut him up with my hand as this was supposed to be confidential.
"Yes...except...they seemed to reincarnated with no memories of their past like Tessa and Alexa, also...Nicole has the same aura as Tessa...makes me wonder…" I said that last part a bit more low I think because Zack took my hand off his mouth and asked me the question I was expecting.
"Wonder what?" I turned to the skies as my mind seemed to ease since the clouds look like Lillie's face...gentle, kind, smooth….
"Kuroda?" I shook my head as I turned to him.
"Sorry, I meant to say that your moth…" but Zack's aura quickly made me change my mind as I felt hostility.
"I mean Nicole...her aura is like Tessa, the emotions, aura capabilities, and also the power, all the same….I wonder if Tessa is actually a reincarnation of…" my voice was cut off as I heard a scream.
I turned around with Zack and saw Tessa struggling as we saw stuff around her levitating.
"Calm her down!" I yelled as the two of us ran over and tried to subdue her screaming and flailing to no avail.
We been struggling for so long that the door opened with Alexa, Nicole, and Serena who was carrying Lillie on her back.
"What is going on?!" Alexa cried out over the screaming as Zack was pushed by an unknown force to the wall as he yelped out in pain.
"We are trying to calm Tessa down..ACK!" I yelled only for my throat's oxygen to be cut off as I felt my trachea being crushed slowly.
I forcefully look down at Tessa to see her eyes glowing pink as she looked at me with no emotions. I grimaced as Alexa and Serena who placed Lillie down to the ground softly run over to Tessa and tried to budge her only for them to get push away by that same force.
"Why you lied…" Tessa's voice sounded like an echo as I looked at her with a straight face only for grimacing as my throat was being crushed again by a little.
"I-it was f-for your own g-good" I winced as she seemed to be a bit pissed off at my answer.
"You hid this from me...my own past! And you lied to me on who my father was! I bet you lied to Zack too!" Tessa yelled as I was fung to the wall which didn't help my lungs one bit.
"T-tessa! Calm down! I-I can explain!" I gasped
Suddenly, airflow came back to normal as I gasped for air and looked up to see Tessa's eyes full of hatred but no longer glowing of aura as she held out a hand to the door.
"Leave, you are like those people…" She ordered as her eyes became teary.
"Tessa…" I looked at her pleadingly which was a first for me only for her eyes to glow again as I was tossed to the door with the girls and Zack looking at us in shock.
"Don't even say my name! You don't even deserve to call me Tessa! You lied, I bet you did somethings that you are keeping from us! You hid the true you under that hood of your's GET OUT!" Tessa screamed as everything in her room fell to the floor and crashed or hit the wall as the other ducked and covered to prevent getting hit.
I looked at the group only to see a discomfort from Serena and Nicole while Alexa looked at me with suspicion and while Lillie and Zack looked at me with pleading as to say they will try to calm her but I knew how things will go if I don't leave.
"Fine….I'll leave...and never come back," I said as I placed my hood over my head as it covered my eyes.
"Good, and never come back you Hypocrite!" Tessa yelled which I cringed at her words.
Never had Tessa been this serious and mad at me. Though then again….nah, forget it. I took a deep breath as I began to leave and felt small paws wrapped around my legs as I looked down seeing Pichu with worried eyes.
"Go to Lillie…keep her safe in my absence," I muttered as I used my aura to move Pichu off me and floated her to Lillie who looked at me with concern.
"You leaving?" Tessa's eyes glowed dangerously violet pink as I sigh with a nod.
"Yes," and with that I left without looking back.
Stadium
Ash just finished up his match as it was sort of easy but at the same time difficult due to the tactics the trainer that he went against had. As Ash walked down the path with Pikachu on his shoulder sightseeing he saw Calem looking at him a few meters away as if he was waiting for him.
"Well, well, if it isn't the failure," Calem mocked as Ash only frowned with Pikachu's cheeks sparking.
"At least I ain't a cocky bastard," Ash retorted.
"Oh yeah, then let's prove this right now in this battle," Calem sneered as he held out a masterball at Ash who only shrugged as he walked past Calem.
"I don't have time to mess around with someone who only can talk and do nothing," Ash said as he and Pikachu walked on and were about to leave Calem but was stopped by a huge vulture-like pokemon who towered above the two.
"SCREEEE!" it cried as Ash's eyes widen due to realization of what pokemon it was.
"What the hell, Yveltal?!" Ash yelped as he turned to Calem who smirked as the legendary death pokemon flew next to him.
"So how about it, you think I am all talk now?" Calem chuckled as Ash clenched his fist.
"Oh now you're asking for this," Ash muttered as he took out a timer ball from his belt which made Pikachu's eyes widen.
"Pika-pi.." Pikachu whispered as he got off Ash's shoulder and looked at him with concern.
"It's good pikachu, it will understand," Ash then threw the timer ball into the air.
"..." Calem's eyes squinted a little from annoyance as the pokemon that came out was a Celebi who hovered around the air in happiness as it got to see some action.
"Celebree!" the time traveling pokemon cried as it got in front of Ash while giving him a thumbs up with its three finger hand.
"Let's finish this once and for all," Ash said as his eyes glowed blue.
"Fine, Oblivion Wing," Calem calmly said as the Legendary launched the devastating beam of destruction and death at Celebi who looked at Ash with smile as it surrounded itself with a barrier and flew at the attack while also ramming into the vulture pokemon causing it to cry in pain.
Though as Yveltal recovered from the attack, Celebi floated back to Ash and Ash noticed Celebi's leg was slowly turning to stone but one look between him and celebi made Ash smile a little as Celebi closed its eyes and softly landed onto the ground as the petrification slowly covered its body.
"Man, your an idiot, my pokemon is the killer of all pokemon and humans! You think some small bug legendary can beat a Killer Pokemon!?" Calem laughed hard as Ash only stood there with a smile with Pikachu looking at Celebi's stone body in horror.
Ash stood there for a moment before he made his next move as a light beam shot down onto Celebi.
"Dazzling Gleam!" Ash commanded.
The beam of light cracked the stone statue and the stone broke into pieces revealing Celebi who was unharmed from the attack to Calem and Yveltal's shock. Celebi then formed an orb of pure light which flashed Yveltal as it cried out in pain as it felt its body burning without any fire causing it.
"W-what?!" Calem stuttered as the green legendary pokemon smirked devilishly as it was starting to have fun while the death pokemon glared at the time-traveling pokemon with hatred.
"Calem, your death pokemon is going to become part of the life cycle at this moment, besides, this battle is far from being over!" Ash smirked as his eyes glowed a brighter blue which caused Calem to look at Ash with nervousness but he gathered his courage as he stared Ash down.
"Then let's start with you pokemon's demise!" Calem snarled as he command Yveltal to attack.
"Use Dragon Rush!"
Yveltal's body engulf in blue and purple energy as it dived towards Celebi who only smiled as it awaited Ash's orders.
"Giga Impact!" Ash held out his hand as Celebi engulfed itself in pink and silver energy as it flew upward to Yveltal's dragon rush as the two collided with an explosion of energy burst from the two moves.
Outside the Hotel
Kuroda walked out of the hotel with his backpack on his shoulder as he walked over to the docks that were a bit away from the hotel. He turned back to the hotel for a moment as he caught a glimpse of a calmer aura from a room as he turned back to the docks.
"Dialga, I need a lift," Kuroda called out to the sea as a time portal opened which the Legendary of Time came out and floated in front of Kuroda with a look of pity.
"I suppose you are not needed anymore and that the girl found out about her past" The Legendary spoke telepathically to the hooded teen as he adjusted his bag and nodded slowly.
"I think it is best that she finds out her true intentions, though I am planning on returning back here to settle down maybe," Kuroda said that as he thought of a certain girl.
"Kuroda, you should know by now that with you going through time, you can't settle down with a person unless you officially accept them as your Time partner, that is your role as a Balance Aura Guardian or an aura assassin case, their spouse," Dialga reminded the teen as he nodded.
"I know….though just bring me back to my time where I am still in seclus…"
"WAIT!" a voice called out as Kuroda and Dialga turned to see Lillie limping over with Pichu on her shoulder calling out to her trainer.
"Lillie?" Kuroda muttered as Dialga had a look of interest.
"Ah, so that is the young girl that you grown to like, hm?" The Legendary spoke but Kuroda ignored him as he ran over to Lillie and caught her in a hug as she was about to fall over from exhaustion.
"What are you doing here?" Kuroda asked the blonde.
"Idiot, you were going to leave me after everything you did!" Lillie said with a bit of anger as she looked at him with tears.
"...But I lied to Tessa and the others including you…" Kuroda only manage to say before he was stopped by another tight hug.
"I don't care, you did it for a good reason...besides, I….care for you...more than you think," Lillie's muffled voice was heard as Kuroda sigh as he held Lillie out in front of him with Pichu looking at the two from the side.
"You sure you want to stick with me…." Kuroda asked warily only to have a firm nod from Lillie as she grabbed his hand.
"I am going to stay with you….even if I have to stay the same age in time," Lillie said as Kuroda's hood came off revealing his eyes being wide as he couldn't believe what she said.
The Legendary looked down at the teen wanting to see how he answered even though he knew what the answer is going to be.
"I guess that there is no stopping you...fine you can come along, besides, it will be a bit more relaxing with you anyway," Kuroda smiled softly as he gripped Lillie's hand gently as he guided her to Dialga who was waiting with Pichu on his back.
"Well, it seems as you picked the answer differently than how I saw it happen in the future, I guess that is why I was interested in picking you as my subordinate," the Legendary said as his eyes glowed which caused both of the teens to float onto the Legendary's back as Dialga opened a time portal.
"Hang on you, next destination, into the future," With that said, Dialga plunged into the portal with pichu hugging Lillie while Kuroda is behind the two to keep them on from flying off.
Hotel
The girls calmed Tessa down while Zack was looking out at the sea where he saw Kuroda and Lillie ride Dialga into a time portal not long ago as he sigh before turning back to Tessa.
"You okay now?" Zack ask the young trainer as she looked up at him and gave a sad smile.
"Mhm," she simply said as she look down at her lap where Nebby was snuggling her to calm her down along with Serena and Alexa as the two girls soothe the young girl which Zack chose that moment to go to the balcony.
Nicole looked at the three girls before sighing as she walked over to the balcony and joined Zack there.
"Mind telling what happened in there before Tessa went wild?" Nicole asked but Zack chose to ignore as he look out to the town.
"Okay then, what is your relationship with Tessa?" this cause Zack to stiffen a little but he relaxed as he turned to Nicole.
"Use to date her in our past lives long ago but when we…"
"Reincarnate," Zack looked up to Nicole as he was shocked by her answer but she shrugged it of as she gestured him to continue.
"Right, as time goes by I guess the chain loosen...from what I remembered of my past self overall, I was known as Red and she was Yellow….that time, we were the same age except she was one or two years younger, after that, I don't remember much except that we got reincarnated several times as time gone by, now, she is very young compared to me, so in this case, she is a little sister to me," Zack spoke as he leaned on the railing of the balcony looking down at the town while Nicole could only look at him with awe.
"So I suppose that you guys kept your memories each time you reincarnate?" Nicole asked but Zack shook his head.
"No, there is more to this situation than y…"
BOOM
Zack and Nicole looked at the town area and saw a Huge vulture like bird being smashed to the beach sand as they saw a small green/pink light flashing each time it collided with the large bird as it cried out in pain.
"We need to check that out, now," Zack said sternly only to hear the door closed behind him.
He turned around and saw that Nicole was gone while Serena, Alexa, and Tessa are soundly asleep on the couch with Serena and Alexa sleeping next to each other with Alexa's head on Serena's shoulder while Tessa was resting her head on Serena's lap.
"Where the…" Zack's thought trailed off as he looked at Tessa before giving a small smile as he grabbed a nearby blanket and placed it gently over her before getting up and walked to another couch as he laid down on it.
"Guess Nicole can do it, besides,' he took out the same picture and gently rub the picture of the woman in the wheelchair before looking at the ceiling as fatigue is starting to overcome him, 'she can handle herself anyway," with that, he fell asleep with the photo in his hand.
Beach
Yveltal struggle to stand as it was being battered by Celebi constantly without Mercy as Calem got very angry. Ash on the other hand felt something he never felt before as he kept on sending attack after attack on the Destruction Pokemon. Though the vulture like creature wouldn't stay down as it kept on trying to get up. Celebi was getting tired and Ash knew this but he knew that if he stopped attacking, Yveltal will hurt more than just Celebi and himself. Just as Ash was about to recall Celebi, Calem took the chance.
"Use Oblivion Wing!" He called out.
Just like that, Yveltal swatted Celebi away with a wing and as Celebi was about to hit the ground, Ash dived and caught Celebi before it hit the ground as Yveltal charged up its attack with Calem smiling evilly.
"Launch"
Ash waited for the incoming attack like his previous encounter with the destruction pokemon. Though he opened his eyes as he didn't feel anything. Ash got up and looked at Calem's direction only to see Yveltal on the ground knocked out with Calem unconscious next to the bird pokemon.
"What the…" Ash could only awe at the situation as Celebi recovered and saw the image with wide eyes along with Pikachu who scampered onto Ash's shoulder to get a good look.
Suddenly a wierd looking bird-like creature appeared infront of Ash in a blink of an eye to his shock as the three stumbled back.
"Aaah!" Ash cried out as he fell on his bottom with Celebi and Pikachu in front of him ready to fight.
The creature only looked at the grimacing boy and his pokemon for a good while before it looked up at the sky for second and crying out.
"TAAAPPPPOOOOOOO!" it screeched and like that, it was gone with Pikachu and Celebi wondering where it go due to how fast it flew.
Ash slowly got up grunting as he scratched his bottom from the pain but felt a clink as he heard metal touch metal while also feeling his right hand feeling a tiny bit heavier. He brought up his hand and looked down on it seeing a white bracelet with a pocket the shape of a diamond.
"What...is this?" Ash muttered as he was trying to process everything that happened.
"ASH!" a voice called out as he turned his head up to the cliffside where he saw Nicole looking down at him with a worried look as he waved back in response.
"I'm good, I will be there!" Ash called out as he turned to Celebi thanking it as the little pokemon twirled in the air before returning to its pokeball and with Pikachu on his shoulder, Ash ran over to the stairs to Nicole leaving a knocked out legendary and a knocked out human behind.
Well, here is the chapter, also I decided to make changes to my plans as I made a mistake in the antagonist OC form as I got a plan for it so scratch that, also here are the poll results:
Zack Ship - ZackxOC
Now here are the forms, since no one wants to put in their OC I will do just battler OC's for the battling scenes. Though there was one more OC I have accepted but want it to only follow the OC form, guys when the writer ask for OC's to be submitted in a form they make, do that and not add things that they don't want to know or isn't in the form, thank you and here is the Battler OC form for the battle scenes:
Battling OC forms:
1. Name
2. Appearance
3. Personality(kind, mean, stubborn, etc. or use bloodtypes will be better though optional)
4. Pokemon team( 3-6 pokemon no legendaries)
