Jarceus: Hello and welcome to another chapter of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon:Dual Helpers. I hope you enjoy.

Firesage101: Awesome and Jarod is once again breaking the forth wall. Hate autocorrect. Jarod is going to be in so much trouble with Dusknoir isnt he?

Ultimate Leviathan: "a waterfall which was rushing at 'suck' a speed that even a Snorlax would have a hard time standing in it.

" Is it bad if I chuckle at the mistake and see the irony of it? *cough* JARCEUS *cough* *cough* Oh and I liked the 4th wall break you put in there but my favorite part was when Chimchar pushed the crystal anyway, even though Jarod said not to. Does that mean he's aware that he is in a fanfiction? So good chapter, I liked it, and yeah.

Jarceus: First I will say that besides what you might think. Jarod actually didn't break the fourth wall. I based him off of an older me so he, like me, will make references to things he(I) like, even if nobody understands it. Also I've played PMD Explorers of Sky so I, and by extension Jarod, know the story. Also Ultimate Leviathan, I think you misread the story a tad. I wrote that James pushed the crystal in. Also thank you for pointing out that mistake. I went and fixed it as soon as I read your review. And yes, Jarod will be in trouble with Dusknoir. But for different reasons than you would think. I would also like to that Ultimate Leviathan for pointing out my mistake, if you find any that you deem as an inconvenience and should be fixed then please tell me, I'd appreciate it.


Last Time


"You help Chimchar carry Piplup." Commanded Watts

"Fine." Growled Jarod as he let Chimchar put Piplup onto his back and started walking to the guild

"Can't we just teleport back?" Asked Chimchar

"No. We can only use the badges in dungeons and teleport returns you to the last 'safe' place you were at. In our current case that would be the hot springs." Explained Jarod

"Oh. Then how are we going to get back soon?" Asked Chimchar

"We run." Stated Jarod as he picked up his pace causing the others to follow suit

"I have to ask how the two fire types woke up before the rest of the group?" Asked Watts

"Truth is I never fainted." Shrugged Jarod "I don't know how Chimchar woke up so fast though."

"I don't know either." Stated Chimchar as they somehow got back to the guild "How did we get here so fast?"

"I honestly have no idea. It's like we are in a fanfiction and the author doesn't want to take too long." Shrugged Jarod

"Fanfiction?" Asked Watts

"Don't ask. It's a human thing." Stated Jarod as the two walked up the the grate

"Pokémon detected. Pokemon detected." Called out Diglett

"Diglett, it's us. We've returned from our mission." Interrupted Jarod

"Oh. Well, then go on in." Instructed Diglett as the gate opened up

"Thanks Diglett." Thanked Jarod as the three walked in


Now


It's been two weeks since Teams Pokepals and ThunderFlare joined forces to take on Waterfall Cave. While reporting to Wigglytuff, Jarod flat out said that Wigglytuff was already there before, which he confirmed causing everyone but himself and Jarod to sweat drop. Through these past two weeks Jarod has been acting weird, cautious almost. As if someone was after him. Now the Jarod and his team, which gained a new member in the form of a shiny Absol named Disaster were joining a guild expedition into the Foggy Forest. Right now the four were in Steam Cave.

"Tell me again why we are here?" Asked Disaster just before he was blasted in the face by steam

"Because Guildmaster Wigglytuff wanted to see if we could find the treasure here." Sighed Jarod also being blasted in the face by steam

"Hey! Isn't that the exit?" Asked James as he pointed to a passageway that held the light of day in it

"I believe so." Answered Jarod

"Mine,mine,mine,mine,MINE!" Shouted Disaster as he rushed to the exit only to stop half way "Ok, nope!" He shouted again as he ran back

"What did you sense?" Asked Watts

"A legendary pokemon. Probably a psychic or ground type from what I felt." Answered Disaster seriously

"Most likely a Uxie." Stated Jarod getting stares from his team

"Alrighty then. Prepare for pain on my end." Sighed James as he stared at the rest of his team who were either used to being attacked by psychic types(Jarod) or were resistant to psychic types (Watts and Disaster)

"Don't worry, if I know our luck Uxie will use an illusion of some other legendary, most likely Groudon as it is one of the most terrifying amongst the other legends." Shrugged Jarod as the four walked out of Steam Cave only to have to dodge a spike of rock aimed for their stomaches and faces as Groudon walked at the four slowly

"Hello, 'Groudon' I guess we have to fight?" Guessed Jarod

"YOU! HAVE YOU COME TO DESECRATE THIS PLACE?" Asked Groudon

"No. We have just come to see Fogbound Lake, but if that displeases you then we shall leave." Stated Jarod bowing slightly "After all, I wouldn't want to upset you…Uxie."

"HOW?" Asked Groudon

"I know things." Chuckled Jarod

"YOU FOUR HAVE COME HERE SEEKING TO ENTER FOGBOUND LAKE! FOR THAT I WON'T FORGIVE YOU! PREPARE TO FEEL MY WRATH! GRROOOOOOH!" Screamed Groudon causing the land around the five to shake

"Ready guys?" Asked Jarod as he jumped away from Groudon

"Ready!" Answered the other three as the charged their own attacks

"Signal Beam/Energy Ball/Ice Beam/Psychic!" Shouted James, Jarod, Disaster and Watts respectively as they fired their attacks which were combined into one by Watts' psychic before exploding on Groudon

"STONE EDGE!" Called out Groudon as spikes of stone went to empale Disaster only for him to jump over them and fire an Ice Beam back at Groudon freezing its feet in ice, which was slowly melting in the heat produced by the sun's enhanced form

"Rain Dance" Called out Disaster as he cancelled out Groudon's Drought ability

"Protect!" Called out Jarod, James and Watts knowing what comes next

"Surf!" Called out Disaster as he created a giant wave which damaged Groudon a heap but didn't do enough to knock him out

"STONE EDGE!" Called out Groudon as he created a spike to empale James just as he let down his protect

"James!" Shouted Jarod as he punched the Luxio out of the way unfortunately getting his hind leg empaled and stabbed into a cliffside by the Stone Edge

"Grr." Growled James as he turned to Groudon just before the rain was replaced with a Sunny Day and a Solar Beam to the face "Ahh!"

"Rain Dan-" Started Disaster only to be stopped by a flamethrower to the face causing him to fly back into the cliffside next to Jarod, who was being covered in a blue and red energy

"James! Disaster!" Cried out Watts as he turned to his fallen comrades before jumping over a Solar Beam

"Grr." Growled Jarod as the stone in his leg melted from the energy that by now had formed a sort of cocoon around Jarod

"Jarod?" Asked James amazed as the cocoon broke apart showing that Jarod was a tad taller with weird black lines going across his body. It formed the Delta symbol on his forehead and paws while his back was also covered in the lines only they formed a raging inferno

"PRIMAL REVERSION!" Shouted Jarod as the energy flooded out of him in waves

"WHAT!" Shouted Groudon before he was punched in the stomach by Jarod

"You pissed off the wrong human, Uxie." Growled Jarod as he ripped of Groudon's head causing his body to fade away into nothingness before the markings on Jarod disappeared as he shrunk back to normal leaving him tired as all hell

"Jarod? What happened to Groudon?" Asked Watts worried

"That was not Groudon." Stated a voice inside the four's heads

"I know. That was merely an illusion you conjured up to scare pokemon away from Fogbound Lake." Panted Jarod as he struggled to get back up on his legs

"Yes. And like I said earlier, I am the guardian here. And I cannot allow you to pass." Stated the voice in a dangerous tone

"We only came for information!" Shouted Watts in protest

"Information you say?" Asked the voice

"Yes, Uxie. That is the honest truth." Grunted Jarod as he accidentally showed Watts something he was hiding in his bag

"We did also come with obtaining some treasure in mind. But if that isn't ok with you we can deal with it. We can be proud at the fact we mad it this far AND defeated Groudon, even if it was only an illusion." Agreed Disaster getting nods from James and Watts

"I believe you." Said the voice as Uxie teleported in front of the four pokemon

"I am Uxie. The guardian of Fogbound Lake's treasure," Started Uxie only to be interrupted by Jarod

"A Time Gear." He stated shocking everyone there

"How do you know about that?" Asked Uxie violently

"I, Jarod, am from the future. And I came into the past to save the future." Stated Jarod "And for that me and my three partners had to find out the location of all five Time Gears."

"I don't sense any negative intentions from you. So please you five, come this way." Stated Uxie as it led Jarod, James, Watts, Disaster and surprisingly Wigglytuff, who was watching the whole time, into the Heart of Fogbound Lake, in which they saw the sight of Illumise and Volbeat lighting up the night sky over a spout of water concealing the Time Gear


The Next Morning


Everyone from the guild, besides Jarod who stayed behind to talk to Uxie, were packing up their tents before Jarod came flying through the camp covered in blood

"JAROD!" Shouted James, Watts and Disaster in concern as an orange Ninetails with a more flat hair-style walked up to the downed Vulpix before biting his neck, killing him

"Now that he's dead, time to finish my job." Smirked the Ninetails as he took Jarod's sword and bands as proof of his victory before walking back in Uxie's direction "I suggest you pathetic guild pokemon leave before I trap you in time, after stealing the fourth Time Gear."

"You're the one who's been taking the Time Gears!" Shouted everyone besides Watts and Wigglytuff in shock. The two pokemon who weren't in shock were suspicious for different reasons as Ninetails walked away, but not before blowing up the tent that belonged to Jarod leaving the guild to mourn the loss of a great ally

"T-that's what he meant when he said that someone was after him." Cried James as last night Jarod had told everyone that someone was after him because of his goals, but he wouldn't say who it was or why.


Jarceus: That is the end for this story….NOT! We will be seeing more of Mr MurdererTails soon. But why did he kill Jarod? And what IS his goal? Find out in the next few Chapters of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon:Dual Helpers!
