Another day, another year, another update. And in this one... you can say this is a special chapter, like with Corrin and Azura when they were kids and met Rocky and Blue. But this one... This one features a new trainer that will be joining Corrin's army. Who is this trainer? Well... That is something many of you will be finding out.

Before we begin, I would like to say a few words to one certain guest reviewer, whose name I never memorized as I had deleted their... disturbing review... And you know who you are... The rest of you are free to ignore this, but then again, I highly recommend you do read this in case if you dare try anything on April Fools Day (at the very least) similar to what this person had done.

What the god FUCKING HELL?! Why would you ever send a sort of review like that?! If there are a few things that I despise, dislike, and hate more than anything else, it is stupid, mess up jokes like the one you had sent! And let me tell you this now! I do NOT do horrors! EVER! So what do you think I did when I saw that little review you sent?! I deleted it! Not only because it was messed up, but also because I am easily scared with that sort of thing! Who do you think you are to send a message like that?! What if that so-called message was actually a real deal and I uh... yeah... ACTUALLY DIE ON MY 'DEATH DAY' JUST BECAUSE I READ THAT STUPID MESSAGE YOU SENT?! I would like to know where your mind was when you sent me it! Actually, no! Don't send another review! I was 'this' close to possibly dying earlier from the mere stress because I cannot handle that sort of thing! It is only when I spoke with a good friend about this that I managed to calm down and forget about it! Do NOT dare put up another review like that or ever at all!

Ahem... Now then with that being said... Let us officially start this chapter.

"Normal people talking"

'Thoughts'

"Z-MOVE!"

"Dragon-type Pokemon talking" Only from Corrin's perspective

"Pokemon talking"

It was a beautiful morning in the Kalos region. Here, many people and Pokemon wandered through the city streets, all living out their day in peace. Some people were out in the woods, venturing through to the next city, battling wild Pokemon, catching some Pokemon, or battling other people. Some other people were at the beach, fishing or simply having fun.

One person, one trainer, was doing none of those things.

This particular trainer ventured on through a forest, but not to battle or catch Pokemon, and certainly not to battle any trainers. No, such things are past her. What she was there for, however, was to see something... legend.

"They've gotta be around here somewhere," she muttered to herself. "What do you think Fira? Are we anywhere close?"

"Eevee," replied the Pokemon walking by her side.

"They have to be here. People have been talking about it back in town."

What is this trainer doing in the middle of the woods with her Eevee? Alicia, or Ali as she liked to be called, had heard some rumors about a certain tree and cocoon in the middle of a forest known as Allearth Forest and decided to come to find them. What is so special about this pair she sought? Well...

"Wah!" Ali slipped on something and started rolling down the hill. Fira was spooked when she saw this and rushed after her trainer.

Some time of rolling later, Ali crashed into a bush. Fira skidded to a stop not long after, looking at her trainer in the bushes in concern.

"Eevee?" she called.

"Ow... I'm okay," Ali said, getting up and out from her spot. Rubbing her head, she muttered, "I'm definitely going to feel that for a while..." The trainer then looked around, wondering where her rolling got her to.

As she turned to the meadow, her eyes widened in shock, as did her Eevee. There, in the middle of the meadow, was an odd-looking tree and a huge, oddly-shaped cocoon. The tree was white and had a few small holes at the front, seemingly shaping up an 'x'. Compared to other trees in the area, especially in the middle of spring season, this one tree didn't have a single leaf hanging on its branch. As for the cocoon, it was black with some grey spots and three spikes at the top.

A smile formed on Ali's face as she realized what sort of tree it was.

"They were right," she breathed out. "They really are here. Too bad they're not in their real form, though."

The tree and cocoon she and Fira saw before them... were Xerneas and Yveltal in their dormant form. Ali didn't know all the details exactly, but apparently, a few years back, tragedy struck Kalos in the form of Yveltal. Of what she had heard, some evil organization tried to awaken Yveltal and take all of its powers for their own. However, they underestimated the strength of a Legendary Pokemon and paid the price for it. Out of rage, Yveltal then went out and practically ended the life of many Pokemon. And it could've succeeded in ending all of Kalos, if Xerneas wasn't there. It used all its power to fight against Yveltal, doing everything it could to quell its rage, as well as revert its undoings back to normal. However, Yveltal was not one to relax that easily. In the end, however, it was thanks to the help of one other Pokemon that peace was restored. In the process, the two Legendary Pokemon were put in their dormant state.

"Well, just seeing them like this is good enough for me. How about you, Fira?" Ali asked her Pokemon partner.

"Eevee! Eevee!" the Eevee barked happily as it jumped a few times.

"Yeah. That's what I thought." Ali reached into her pocket and grabbed some Pokeballs. "Okay, guys. Come on out!" She called out the rest of her Pokemon team.

This team of hers consisted of a big, green mammal with a large flower on its back, a large, blue bear-like Pokemon with slanted eyes, a purple, slimy-looking dragon-like Pokemon, a small, white squirrel-like Pokemon with yellow cheeks, and a violet sea-star Pokemon with a big red gem at the front.

"Check this out, guys. We finally found the Legendary Pokemon of Kalos!" she said to her team. All of them looked and saw the dormant state the two legends were in. "I know it's not as awesome as seeing them in their more alive state, but just seeing them like this is still cool!" Fortunately for Ali, her team were also in awe at the two sleeping Legendary Pokemon, as each paid their respect to them in their own way. The trainer then dug into her bag and took out a Nikon D3500 camera and a tripod. "Get in position, guys. We came here to take a picture with them before we leave Kalos after all."

Her team all let out cries in agreement and took a place.

Ali was not just an ordinary trainer; she was also a photographer. Well, one can call her that at least, but she does it as a hobby rather than a career. She usually takes memorable shots of her journey, and keeps films filled with those photos on her.

After getting her camera set up, Ali looked up and saw her team ready for the shot. "Okay guys! Say 'cheese'!" she said, hitting a button and rushing to them. They all posed, as a flash and a click was seen and heard. Ali walked back to it and was content with the shot. "All right, team. Time for us to leave Kalos."

Her Pokemon all nodded in agreement, as she returned the majority of them in their Pokeballs and her camera back in her bag. Fira climbed up and onto her shoulder.

"Time to see where fate takes us to this time," Ali told the Eevee.

"Eevee!" she nodded.

Just as she was about to leave, however, Fira's ears twitched. The Eevee shot up and looked at one direction before leaping off Ali's shoulders and rushing towards whatever sound she was hearing, much to her trainer's shock.

"Wha-?! Fira?! Where are you going?!" Ali called out, running after her partner.

After some time of running, Ali chased Fira at a lake. The Normal-type Pokemon took a sip of the water, much to her trainer's amusement.

"Fira, if you were thirsty, you could've just said so," Ali said. As she approached the water, though, she started to hear something. Something that sounded like a song.

'You are the ocean's gray waves~' she heard.

"A voice?" she spoke. Looking back at Fira, she saw her Eevee looking quite content, swaying her head along with the music. "Ah, so it was this that brought you here. But who's singing?" Ali looked around and saw no one near them. If anything, though, it sounded like it was coming from the lake itself. Ali raised a brow in confusion and looked into the water, seeing nothing but a reflection of herself.

It was then, the unexpected happened. Her reflection changed into that of another person; a man with black hair in black clothes with a gold mask.

"Huh?" she managed to gasp out, as the water suddenly shot out of the lake, grabbed her, and pulled her in.

Ali held her breath in shock. What just happened?! Why was she being pulled into the lake?! At least, she thought it was, until she opened her eyes. Instead of what should be the bottom of the lake, the girl saw she was pulled in what seemed like a portal of sort.

'Wha-?! Where am I?!' she thought.

"That's another trainer to abduct and take Pokemon from," came an evil-sounding voice.

"Who's there?!" Ali attempted to question. However, she found herself unable to speak for some reason.

"Heh. It's pointless to scream for help! You'll be ending up just like the rest of the trainers we- Argh!" As the voice let out a cry in pain, Ali felt whatever was gripping her so tightly become loose. She turned and saw Fira gripping onto her bag, using a Swift attack at whoever it was that was dragging her away like so. Grabbing her Eevee, she swam away from what grabbed her and back to the surface.

Once her head was out of the water, Ali placed Fira on her shoulder and swam to shore as fast as she could. The second she made it there, the trainer crawled out of the water, as far as she could go with her remaining stamina. When she was at a good distance away, Ali lied on the ground in exhaustion.

"Wha-... What was that...?" she gasped. She heard rumors of rare, ancient, or even legendary Pokemon living in lakes, but never, had she ever, heard of a Pokemon that takes trainers in the water like what she went through.

"Eevee..." Fira whimpered in worry for her trainer, nuzzling her face.

"I'm fine, Fira... Just... Need a bit of rest," Ali assured. She looked back at the lake, wondering just what exactly had happened, as well as wondering about what she had heard.

Speaking of hearing, a roar was heard from above. Ali and Fira looked up and saw something big and orange flying over their heads.

"Isn't that... a Charizard?" the trainer wondered.

"Hey! Are you okay over there?!" came a voice.

Ali and Fira turned and saw a girl running over to her. To her confusion, the girl wore clothes famers would wear back in the past, and of what Ali remembered, the town nearby wasn't a village filled with farmers.

"Uh, yes. I'm all right," Ali answered, getting back up to her feet.

"Are you sure?" the girl asked.

"Positive."

"Eevee!" Fira barked excitedly, playfully jumping around the surprised farmer.

"Fira!" Ali grabbed the excited Pokemon and held her in her arms. "Sorry about that. Fira's really young, you see."

"Oh, no it's fine," the girl assured. Just as she did, the Charizard flying above landed right by her side, glaring at Ali and Fira, as he had his wing up to protect the girl, whom Ali could only assume is its trainer. "Charizard, hey. Ease up. They don't look bad," the villager girl told it, making it back down.

"Wow. With how you're handling this Charizard, there's no doubt that you are its trainer. Sure looks like a healthy one too," Ali stated.

The girl turned back to Ali at her words. "'Trainer'?" she repeated. She then looked down in thought, much to Ali's confusion. Looking back up at her, the child asked, "You wouldn't, by any chance, be a trainer yourself, would you?"

"I am. Why?"

"... Um... Where do you think you are? What kingdo- uh, region?"

The confusion on Ali's face changed into worry, as she answered, "Isn't this Kalos?"

The girl pursed her lips at the answer and shook her head in denial. "I-I'm afraid... You're not where you think you are."

"What are you talking about?"

"Well... This is the kingdom of Hoshido and..." The girl dug into a satchel she had on her and took out a map. "Do you... recognize anything on this map?"

Ali looked and was shocked beyond words. The map of the region, if she can call it that, was completely unfamiliar to her. It wasn't the map of Kalos, nor was it one of Kanto. In fact, of the several regions she had gone to, this map looked nothing like them.

It was then, Ali thought back to a certain news she heard of before she even left to Allearth Forest. The only thing she could say to this? "... Well... We are definitely far from home..."

It had been a couple of weeks since Ali arrived in another world, in Hoshido. During that time, she had been staying in a village, helping the people there with all sorts of things, along with her Pokemon. Mozu, the girl who found her, gave Ali a tour of the village, as well as explained to her about the new world she was in. She also told her about one other trainer who also ended up in their world, one Ali was familiar with. In fact, the trainer she was speaking of, Ali planned to meet her in the next region she wanted to go to after Kalos. To hear that the very trainer was here, how can she not want to go after her?

At least, that was what she planned at first. The day after she was told of the other trainer, trouble came to the village. It wasn't in a form of bandits, or of monsters she heard of called Faceless. No... It was in a form of a Pokemon.

This Pokemon was not dangerous, nor was it lost. Well, maybe it was lost, but that wasn't the problem with it. The Pokemon was a brown donkey with black, stiff mane and large, horizontal-slanted eyes. Ali had never seen a Pokemon like it. What she had seen, however, was a Pokemon in need of help. The Pokemon they found was quite injured, most likely from a hard fought battle, and was poisoned. According to Ali, they were lucky to have found the Pokemon in time and gave it the treatments it needed. The Pokemon was especially lucky Ali was there, for none of the villagers knew how to handle an injured Pokemon.

Upon seeing this, Ali knew she couldn't just leave the village. At least not just yet. Now that she knew Pokemon have been appearing in this world, she couldn't just leave the village without imparting some knowledge on how to care for sick and injured Pokemon. Honestly, she was shocked to know that the trainer before her didn't leave much knowledge on how to care for Pokemon. But, from what she got from the villagers, apparently that trainer was on a mission of sort, and she didn't leave the village completely blind; that trainer left behind berries and taught them what each ones were used for, as well as left behind the Charizard Ali thought belonged to Mozu, leaving him there to either protect the village or assist them in any of their daily tasks.

Speaking of such daily tasks...

"Fira! Use Quick Attack!" Ali commanded her Eevee. The Evolution Pokemon shot itself towards a large bear and headbutted it right in its skull. Due to the amount of force used on that one attack, it was enough to kill it. Ali turned to the impressed villagers with her. "That should do it."

"That's amazing, Ali! You trainers sure are something with Pokemon," one villager said.

"True, but compared to Riana, I'd say she still has some ways to go," another villager commented. "Riana would've taken that bear out in seconds with one of her Pokemon."

"True as it may be, Ali use a small Pokemon like that to take down a bear."

"Riana has a small Pokemon too. And I saw that Pokemon break a boulder with that wooden tail of its!"

Yeah... This was also something Ali had dealt with during her time in the village. Some villagers took a liking to her as some others did for Riana, the trainer that was here before her. She wasn't annoyed with it as much as she was interested in learning more about Riana, the first Champion of Alola.

"All right, guys. Knock it off," the village chief told the two. "We gotta take the bear back to the village before it gets rotten. This with all our other catch, I'd say it's enough to have a feast for the day."

"We did grow a lot of the berries Riana left us. My wife was thinking of making a meal out of them. See how they taste, especially since Riana said those fruits were a part of a daily diet for humans and Pokemon alike where they're from," a villager stated.

"Well, I wouldn't really say they're a part of a daily diet, but humans can eat them. So long as they can handle the taste for some of these berries that is," Ali informed.

"Really? Like which one?" the chief asked.

"Well... Let's just say the ones Riana left are all edible for human and Pokemon, and nothing else."

The villagers all sweatdropped at how she just dropped the topic like so.

"Anyway, the chief is right about one thing; we should hear back. I promised Mozu I'd help her with Muddy." At those words, Ali already rushed back to the village, with Fira jumping onto her shoulder.

Ah yes. Ever since they found that donkey of a Pokemon, it and Mozu kind of hit off quite well with each other. Well, it was more that the Pokemon really liked her for some reason. Not only that, but the Pokemon was quite helpful around the village. For one thing, it helped with a lot of heavy-lifting despite its size and it helped fertilize the crops with Rototiller. As a little cherry on top, Ali and the villagers all wondered about what to feed an unknown Pokemon, only to find out that its main diet was mud. That being said, they didn't have to worry much about food.

"Mozu! Hey!" Ali called out to the farm girl with the donkey Pokemon. Fira leapt off her trainer's shoulder and dashed on towards the two, playing with the new Pokemon.

"Hi, Ali!" Mozu greeted.

"How's it going with Muddy?" Ali asked.

"Great! Muddy's looking as healthy as ever, he's been helping out a lot with our crops and berries, and just earlier, he helped an elderly farmer pull a large wagon of our freshly picked crops. I'm still amazed he's able to do so much and not look tired at all."

"Heh. If I didn't know any better, I'd say it was fate that brought it here. I mean, that Pokemon is just perfect for this village. Helps with heavy duties, grow crops, and you don't have to worry much about feeding it, as its diet comes from mud. Or rather, the soil here."

"Yeah. Though I wouldn't really count the last part as much of a good thing." Mozu suddenly crouched down, hugging her knees, and had a dark cloud over her head, as she said, with a fake smile, "I still remember that one time I got really dirty helping out with digging the potatoes out, and Muddy did a little more than clean me up."

Ali couldn't help but chuckle at the poor farmer's memory. Mozu wasn't exaggerating with what she said. Like a Heracross to a honey-covered human, when Mozu came home all dirtied up from the mud and soil, Muddy licked it all off her face and her clothes... and whatever was under her clothes. Yeah... to this day, the farmer was embarrassed even from the mere memory of it, and was glad that of the many humans in the village, Ali was the only person who saw such a scene occur.

"Now, now. Let's not go back to that memory lane. I want to see how you and Muddy improved in terms of battling," the trainer said.

Those words cheered the villager up. Ever since Mozu and Muddy became a team, the former practically begged Ali to teach her everything about being a good trainer, especially in terms of battling. The other-worldly trainer was shocked at the request, but upon hearing the reason behind it, Ali couldn't turn her back on someone so determined.

"Thanks again for agreeing to teach me," Mozu thanked Ali, as the two made their way out of the village.

"I should be the one thanking you," Ali said. "If you and Charizard hadn't found me, I would still be lost in those woods. Worst case scenario is going against those Faceless monsters you spoke of."

"Yeah, but with your Pokemon with you, something tells me that you would've been just fine."

"Yeah."

As if taking that as a challenge, however, trouble arrived, when a certain Pokemon came flying down, roaring.

"Charizard? What's wrong?" Mozu asked the panicking Pokemon.

This sort of reaction was a first for Ali. She had never seen a Charizard panicking the way this one was. As far as she knew, Charizard are the type of Pokemon that likes to fight against powerful opponents. So why is this one...?

"Hey," she called to it. "Can you fly me up? You're trying to tell us something, aren't you?"

Charizard nodded and got the trainer on its back, flying high into the air. Imagine Ali's shock... when she saw a large horde of Faceless approaching the village.

"So that's what got you panicking..." she breathed in understanding. "We have to evacuate the village!"

Not wasting a second, Charizard flew back down.

"We have a big emergency!" she shouted the moment they landed, grabbing the attention of everyone in the village. "You know those monsters you told me about? Those Faceless? A large horde of them is on their way here now from the south! Everyone evacuate the village immediately!"

That got the people panicking, as they dropped everything they were doing and head north.

"Ali, what about you?" Mozu asked, noticing the girl and Charizard facing south, where the Faceless were coming from.

"Charizard and I'll stall these guys long enough for you all to escape," Ali said, much to the farmer girl's shock.

"What?! But you can't stop them by yourself!"

"Did you forget, Mozu? I'm not alone. Fira!" The Eevee jumped on Ali's shoulder at her call. "We'll catch up when we can! You and Muddy make sure everyone gets out of here!"

Without another word, Ali jumped on Charizard's back and the two flew into the woods.

"Ali!" Mozu called out.

Muddy walked to Mozu and looked at her in concern. "Bray..."

The villager looked back to everyone else, and saw them all escaping their home, no one left behind. She then looked back into the woods, where Ali was, and then down at herself. Ali was not a part of their world; she wasn't taught how to fight they way they did, yet there she was, doing what she can to protect them. It wasn't just her; Riana did the same for this village. Neither trainers were even a part of their world, neither one had to feel responsible in any way for what would happen to the village, neither one had to fight for them. And yet... They were fighting for them. Ali was going to protect the village, or at least try to stall the Faceless long enough for everyone to escape, and Riana left her Charizard for the exact same reason. For her friends to do so much for her home... and yet look at her. She wasn't going to stand by and let them die doing what she should be doing.

Picking up an abandoned naginata, she said to Muddy, "I hope you're strong and fast enough to carry a passenger to battle, Muddy. Because we have a friend to help out!"

Sensing her determination, the Pokemon nodded, "Mudbray!"

With that, Mozu got on the donkey Pokemon and both charged right into the woods.

With Ali, once Charizard was flying right above the horde, the trainer jumped off the Flame Pokemon and landed right in the center of the group, getting the monsters' attention.

"Hi there, Faceless. How do you do?" she casually greeted. The girl then took out a Pokeball from her pocket and called out one of her Pokemon from within. "Let's go, Sage!"

Out of the Pokeball was her Venusaur, and he was ready to battle.

"Sage, use Frenzy Plant!" At Ali's order, Sage slammed his front legs down hard, calling upon giant roots from the ground, all that smacked, whacked, and knocked some of the Faceless away. "Fira, Quick Attack!" With a burst of speed, Fira ran across the Frenzy Plant, jumping and tackling one Faceless to another. Unfortunately, the monsters of Nohr were sturdier than they seemed, as they practically felt nothing from the hit. Those that got hit by the Frenzy Plant slowly got back up, with some evaporating from existence.

Ali noticed this and grimaced. "These things are tougher than they look," she noted. "Even Frenzy Plant is not enough." From the corner of her eyes, she saw some of the Faceless ignoring the battle and continued on to the village. "What the-?! Hey!"

Charizard breathed out a Flamethrower from above, burning down a couple of the weakened Faceless, as well as keeping some escaping ones at bay. However, the monstrosities did not at all seemed bother by the flames and continued on.

"They're ignoring the flames too?!" Ali gasped in shock. She was more shocked to hear a familiar scream nearby. "Was that... Mozu?!" She attempted to go in and find her, but unfortunately, a Faceless got in the way and raised a fist up to hit her. Ali thought fast and ducked under the swing. "Whoa! That was close!"

Seeing the cowardly move the Faceless had done, in a Pokemon's eyes that is, Charizard let out a loud roar and dove down for a Wing Attack. His attack hit, but the Faceless grabbed him by the wings and tossed him into some trees, breaking some of them down.

Ali saw the downed Pokemon getting surrounded by a few Faceless. "Oh no, Charizard! Fira, use Swift! Sage, Solar Beam!" The two Pokemon unleashed their called attacks on their targets, defeating the Faceless and saving their friend. "Nice shot, Fira! You too, Sage!"

"A Pokemon trainer?!" came a gasp.

Ali turned to the voice and was surprised to see someone nearby. No... Not just any 'someone'. She had seen her on the news and some magazines and newspapers. There was no way she could ever not know who she was.

"R-... Riana the Alola Champion?!"
