Welcome back to another episode of "Typhlosion8's Weird Author Notes!" Today we have a special episode for you, but before we get to that, let's start with our well-known opening. As you all know, I do not own Pokèmon, but that hasn't stopped me from begging in those emails!

Let's get back to the show though. The update schedule for Legends In Training is now once every two weeks! I hope everyone's eager for Chapter 12, because I know many people must have been freaking out at the end of Chapter 11...

I'm sorry it took so long for me to update! I won't do it again!

Here's ... Chapter 12!

Red woke up wet and covered with little grains of sand sticking to his skin. Luckily, his backpack was still somehow on his shoulders, soaked through but still there. His six Pokèballs were attached to his belt and even his hat was near him, resting a few inches away from him on the sandy beach.

Slightly dazed, he got up and grabbed his hat, pulling it down onto his hair as water dripped from everywhere. Not to mention the headache that hit him out of nowhere, nearly knocking him back down. Glancing around, he spotted N still unconscious in the sand, looking just as wet. Maddie wasn't there though.

"Maddie?" Red called out, and he started to cough out leftover water in his lungs. The salty taste made him grimace.

N stirred, getting up slowly and groaning. His hat was gone, exposing his messy green hair.

"Where are we?" he asked, and Red shrugged.

"Beats me. Any sign of Maddie?"

N looked around. "No. Maybe she's at a Pokèmon Centre nearby?"

"Let's find out." Red sighed, and the pair walked towards the small town in the distance.

It had been... distressing, at first, when something in her head told her exactly what move her Typhlosion used in battle.

Not to mention that the money she had won recently was gone and a few of her Pokèmon had levelled up without her remembering when. Ampharos had learned a new move! And then there was the looks she got from her team, almost questioning where something or someone was. It felt like a big part of her memory was missing, and everyone knew it but her.

That didn't mean that she didn't fight when people in uniforms with a large B on them attacked her. Even if she didn't remember them, they did seem to remember her and want to injure her, so she defeated them with a mix of Flamethrowers and Shadow Claws and Overheat attacks. They fell like bowling pins.

According to the Nurse Joy she talked to, she was in Kalos. It wasn't on her Pokègear map, which worried her a lot. Being in a place you didn't know could be fun and exciting, but only when you're prepared for it. Here she was, wandering a new place without her backpack. No items, Pokèballs, Hyper Potions or Full Heals, and she didn't have enough money to buy any more. It was only pure luck that her Pokègear was still with her and waterproof.

But she finally started to understand how much she lost when she made a phone call.

They were at the Magenta Plaza Pokèmon Centre, which was usually almost empty. That was nice when you came in looking like a group of wild Pokèmon had wiped the floor with you.

Michael walked over to a small bench and collapsed on it. He was tired and needed to sleep. Nicole was exploring the Centre, amazed by the Pokèmart inside of it.

"We don't have Pokèmon Centres like these in Sinnoh! Our Pokèmarts are a separate building!" she said. Michael made a noise that sounded like "whatever" from his spot on the bench.

"Ring Ring! Ring Ring!"

The videophone was ringing. Nicole ran over to it. The caller ID was Hearthome City Pokèmon Centre.

"Hello?"

"Hello there. Is there a girl there named Nicole from the Sinnoh region?"

It was a Nurse Joy asking. Nicole nodded.

"That's me. How can I help?"

"There's a girl that called us. She asked for you. I said that I could call other Centres and ask if you were there. Would you like me to put you through to her?"

"Uh, sure, I guess."

There was a few minutes of silence as Nurse Joy connected the call. A little animation loop of a Pichu dancing played while Nicole waited.

Finally, Maddie's green eyes popped up, and her face showed slight confusion.

"H-Hi Nicole."

"Hey Maddie! Wait just one sec and I'll get Michael."

Dashing over to the bench, she poked at the Hoenn boy's face until he open his eyes in irritation.

"What now?" he grumbled.

"Maddie called. Come on Michael!" Nicole said, and the two of them went back to the videophone to a perplexed teen. She looked like she didn't understand who Michael was.

"Hello Maddie! Did you find the sixth person yet? Is Red doing alright?" Michael asked quickly, and Maddie started to shake a little.

"Are you okay?" Nicole noticed her best friend looked like she was upset.

"N-No! I-I don't know where I am and I've never heard of a 'Red'! I don't even know who Michael is suppose to be! The last thing I remember is going to catch Ho-Oh and then I wake up in a Pokèmon Centre soaking wet without my backpack. P-People with B's on their shirts attacked me! M-My Ampharos knows a new move that I've never seen her use before or taught to her! I hear a voice in my head every time my P-Pokèmon attack something! I think I'm going insane! I don't remember ever leaving Johto to this place!"

"What do you mean? What Pokèmon Centre where you at?"

"I left. The Nurse Joy said I was in Cyllage City. She said that's somewhere in Kalos. I've never heard of Kalos before."

"Me and Michael are in Kalos. Where exactly are you now?"

"Route 8. There's a beach."

"Alright. This might be tricky. I want you to use Pidgeot to fly here. We're in a city nearby. You should see a really tall tower that looks pointy in the middle. Fly east."

"Okay. Don't hang up."

"The sign says Geosenge Town." Red said, and N sighed.

He wasn't really sure why he had even decided to go with the strange teens. He could have said no, but it might have been his subconscious yelling at him. Screaming for him to take action.

"This is your chance to go out into the world!"

He was suppose to be training to battle the Elite Four. He was suppose to be preparing his team for the strength of Alder's Pokèmon. Ghetsis would be really upset later when he reappeared after being missing for who knows how long. There was no real schedule or plan with these teenagers he went with. He was suppose to tell him everything he did and make sure that Ghetsis gave him permission to do it before he did something.

His life was a lot of 'supposed to's' right now.

But a part of him didn't really want to battle the Champion. He liked just being with his Pokèmon, just having fun and exploring with them. But Ghetsis only really asked one thing of him, to help him change Unova for the better. He agreed, because Ghetsis had taken him in and taught him about Pokèmon. Ghetsis loved being with Pokèmon, so he wouldn't lie about how awful Pokèmon trainers were to their Pokèmon. That was why, once he had finished helping these trainers, he would free their Pokèmon.

Ghetsis would be happy that he helped rescue some Pokèmon, especially from the Johto Champion! Ghetsis said that Champions only used their Pokèmon to fulfil their own selfish goals.

But, these trainers didn't seem to be cruel towards their Pokèmon. They cared about them. So N fought the conflicting emotions within his mind and went back to looking for Maddie.

"It's been days, but nothing seems to be working. I need to move on. Maybe somewhere new."

Although it looked like she was speaking to herself, her Pokèmon knew that she was speaking to them as well.

"We all need to move on. Maybe it was a fluke. Maybe someone out there has answers. Maybe I'm going insane and this is all something going on in my head!"
Floette swatted Rosie's head with her dark pink flower playfully, and Rosie chuckled.

"Okay, I'm not doing this in my head! But something's going on, and I need to know what. The best way to do that is find someone who knows, and I definitely won't find them in a hidden field in the middle of a forest. I suggest that we start at home, and go from there. Are you guys with me?"

Syl and Veon cheered, Braix and Vivillon made small explosions with Will-O-Wisp and Powder together, Riolu did a few backflips and somersaults, and Floette made a colourful tornado of flower petals that drifted off into the wind. They were happy, and so was she.

"Good. Let's get-"

Then her team and the Pokèmon Village disappeared and she heard a voice, lower and not as feminine as her own in her head. It seemed to be soft and quiet in her head and had a youthful feel to it. Rosie felt a something tugging in her mind, pulling her closer to the voice and then she heard it, loud and clear.

"Come on Michael!"

The name echoed and grew softer as it faded and suddenly, she was back with her Pokèmon cheering and showing off, like no time had passed at all.

Holding her Pokègear in one hand, she grabbed a Pokèball off of her belt with the other and released her Pidgeot. The bird seemed happy to be outside, but didn't like he way the sand shifted under his talons and hovered a few inches off the ground.

"Pidgeot? I need you to take me east towards a tall pointy tower. Okay?"

Her Pokèmon nodded, and she mounted just behind his wing joints. She did it so often that it was second nature to her. They lifted off and for a little while, she forgot how confused she was, or that the names of wild Pokèmon flying by came into her head with a dull pain that bothered her less as they flew, or that she usually didn't like flying this high. The breeze made her hair tangle a bit, and her eyes watered as she looked at the beauty of the mysterious place below that she never even heard of before.

"Maddie? Are you still there? Maddie?"

Her name jolted her out of her daze and she looked at her Pokègear.

"I'm still here. I think I see the pointy thing you were talking about."

"Good. Circle it a couple of times so we'll see you, then land. You should find a Pokèmon Centre really close to it. If you walk all the way down a street, you've gone too far."

Pidgeot rode the air currents as he flew around Lumiose Tower. Then, all of a sudden, they were landing and she was recalling the bird and looking for a Pokèmon Centre. She started going down one street and saw a restaurant with three gold stars above the sign. Turning around, she tried a different one and ended up in a circular plaza. Finally, she saw the red building. Walking through the automatic doors, she spotted her Sinnoh friend.

"Nicole!"

As Michael saw Maddie emerge through the Pokèmon Centre doors, something rushed through him, like a tugging in his mind. It wasn't like his usual visions, no, it was a different feeling, like he was sinking through his own mind and falling into someone else's.

Then he heard the girl's voice in his head, softer than when he heard voices in visions as well. It felt more like he was in the present time instead of the past or future, and less hard on his mind.

"I guess we're going to Vaniville Town now."

He felt a pull, like he was suppose to go back to his own mind, but he held on somehow. He heard it again, the female voice that felt familiar.

"We should be there before the sun sets. Sooner if I use my Roller Skates!"

The pull became stronger, and a completely different voice broke through his thoughts.

"Michael?"

"Michael, are you okay? Is it a vision?"

"Michael?"

Then he was with Nicole and Maddie again. Maddie looked worried, but Nicole was use to him spacing out with his visions.

"Michael? Can you even hear me?" Nicole asked. He felt himself nod.

Opening his mouth, he tried to say something, but there were no words. Then he was looking at his PokèNav and searching his map of Kalos for Vaniville Town.

"We need to get there. Now."

There! I hope that was a good chapter for you guys!

Bye Bye,

Ty8
