Jarceus: Hello and welcome to chapter 20 of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon:Dual Helpers. I hope you all enjoy this chapter.
Firesage101:Ok I think there is a realy ironic reason that the portal is in the deep dual forest. Awesome going with the story. Cosmo and Cosmic are sweet and cute.
Jarceus: I put the Passage of Time in Deep Dusk Forest because that's where it is in game. And on the cosmic duo? Now they are sorta lazy I guess? Well, more like in a comatose state.
Ultimate Leviathan: That makes sense, and cool chapter.
Jarceus: I'm guessing the limit on references they can make, and the old stuff? And thanks for the complement.
Last Time
"About that, how do you have psychic energy? You never had it before." Asked Grovyle confused
"I got the basic idea of it when I transformed into a Vulpix, but my powers were amplified when I gained Deoxys' eye, which strangely latched onto my DNA and made it more that just a simple implant. This left eye of mine is what allowed me to become 'Deoxtales' whenever I wanted." Explained Jarod as the group made it to Deep Dusk Forest, only to be met by a small group of Sableye and Armaldo at the entrance
"Hello." Greeted an Armaldo who stood in front of the group "You know, I don't care about your cause, I just want revenge for my brother." He growled while glaring at James
"What did I do?" He asked looking more at Jarod and Grovyle
"Back when you were a human you cut an Armaldo's arms off causing it to die of blood loss, because he sliced my eye in half while I tried to protect you." Explained Jarod simply as he Flamethrowered the opposing group to the Distortion World before they entered the forest. They easily wrecked any and all Pokémon who encountered them, so much so that Cosmo and Cosmic started to glow white as they evolved into Cosmoem
"Wow." Said Cosmic, his voice void of emotion as he and Cosmo just floated in one spot
"Alright you two, let's get a move in." Stated Grovyle as he tried to push the two forward only to not move them an inch
"Here." Chuckled Jarod as he grabbed Cosmic and Cosmo in his tails and put them into two separate bags "Also Cosmoem weigh 999.9 kilograms." He added to taunt Grovyle
"Wait what?!" Shouted Grovyle in shock before Jarod said something that pissed him off
"Do you even lift bro?" He asked before he was forced to flee from the pissed off Grovyle who was firing Bullet Seed after Bullet Seed
"Well, isn't that funny." Giggled a voice in the other's minds as Celebi appeared in front of them
"Celebi and Grovyle si-SHIT!" Shouted Jarod as he was shot in the stomach by Grovyle
"Are you done taunting me?" He asked as he walked up to Jarod
"Y-yea, I'm done." Nodded Jarod "Say, Celebi? Can you take us back into the past? We kinda got caught by Dusknoir." He asked to the shiny legendary
"I can. We'll have to use the Passage of Time again. And luckily it's here in Deep Dusk Forest again." Stated Celebi chuckling lightly as the rest of the group, bar Jarod, Cosmic and Cosmo, nodded.
Now
"Why is this place called the Deep Dusk Forest?" Asked Shaymin
"We honestly have no idea who or why named this forest the Deep Dusk Forest." Answered Jarod before his fur darkened "Neither do I." He shrugged
"Battle?" Asked James surprised
"Yep, It's me." Chuckled Battle getting confused looks from most of his companions "I'm the personification of Jarod's ability, Battle Aura. But, I have my own mind and personality, which, despite being mostly the same as Jarod's, belongs to me." He explained as he stretched a little "You know, the last time he let me stretch was before he met Shaymin and Deoxys."
"Oh! I have to ask you something battle." Stated Watts getting the ability's attention "How did Jarod use that Primal Reversion thing?"
"It has to do with his DNA. You see, Jarod has a very unstable DNA code. Back when he was a Vulpix it was manageable to an extent, but I let one quirk slip, and then BOOM! He went Primal. It got wa-a-a-a-ay worse when Deoxys gave Jarod his eye though. You see, Deoxys isn't known as the DNA pokemon for nothing. I had to stop DNA from the eye from contaminating Jarod's unstable DNA, but I underestimated its power, thus allowing Jarod to transform into his 'Deoxtales' persona." Explained Battle "It also somehow gave Jarod incredible physical abilities. Honestly, from what I've seen, I can guess that Jarod can carry a thousand Cosmoem and not get tired." He added as an after thought
"Putting the thought of Jarod's Arceus-like strength behind. How much longer do we have until we're at the Passage of Time?" Asked Grovyle before he spotted Battle's smirk "Don't you dare." He growled knowing what Battle was thinking
"I bet Celebi wants you to go through her Deep Duck Forest to find her Passage of Time." Said Battle suggestively before his fur lightened, showing that Jarod regained control "Damn it Battle! I told you, 'No innuendoes around Shaymin!'" He screamed as the joyful laughter of Battle echoed through his mind
"Let's just go." Suggested Celebi glad she was ahead of the others, because her face was redder than a tomato
"Hey Jarod? Why do I feel like I should have laughed at that?" Asked James confused
"Maybe because, back before we went into the past, Grovyle was oblivious to the fact that Celebi had special feelings towards him. Well, that was until we pointed it out in the most embarrassing way." Explained Jarod chuckling as he remembered the little song he and James made to taunt Grovyle
"You sing it and you will know why I was banished from my family." Growled Grovyle as he readied an Energy Ball in his hand
"Jeez, no need to threaten me." Said Jarod as he spotted the Passage of Time "Hey! I see it!" He shouted as he ran towards the Passage of Time before he stopped suddenly
"Jarod? What"s u-" Asked James before his sentence was interrupted by a Shadow Ball
"You can all stop right there." Commanded a voice as Dusknoir appeared
"Dusknoir!" Exclaimed Piplup in shock
"Grr. FLAMETHROWER!" Screamed Chimchar in rage as he blasted Dusknoir with his attack, doing minor damage
"You all got soo far. But in the end, it led to nothing short of your death." Stated Dusknoir while Celebi and Jarod silently crept towards the Passage of Time, only to be blasted away by a mighty roar
"Did you two think I'd come only with my Sableye?" Asked Dusknoir amused as Sableye came out of hiding and surrounded the group "I asked help from Master Dialga." He stated, while giving the impression of a smirk, which is hard when you don't have a mouth
"GRO-OH!" Screamed Dialga from his perch above everyone
"GRO!" Roared Jarod imitating Dialga as out heroes vanished
"W-what? They vanished?" Asked Dusknoir amazed "Master Dialga! Please locate them!" He requested of his master
"GRO-OH!" Roared Dialga as our heroes reappeared right before the Passage of Time
"Gah." Gasped Jarod as he fell over panting
"Thank you Jarod." Thanked Grovyle sadly as he tried to pick Jarod up, only to be faced by one major problem. Cosmo and Cosmic, in the bags ON Jarod
"Yea, yea. You can thank him later." Said a voice as Battle took over "Alright guys! You get into the portal while Celebi and I distract Dusknoir, Dialga and the Sableye." He commanded getting nods from the others as they ran through the portal, before he threw Cosmo and Cosmic through the portal as well.
"You sacrificed yourselves so that they could go free." Chuckled Dusknoir as the Passage of Time shut behind Battle and Celebi
"No. Not really." Chuckled Battle as he made sure the Passage of Time was shut tight "ROAR OF TIME!" He called out as he disappeared while Celebi teleported away
"They got away!" Shouted Dusknoir in rage at being soo easily played. while Dialga was having…weird thoughts
"GRO-OO-OH!" Roared Dialga
"Yes, Master Dialga. I will not let them escape to the past so easily." Nodded Dusknoir before Dialga disappeared back to the remains of Temporal Tower 'How did he use Master Dialga's signature attack? That should be physically impossible.' He thought to himself, unknowingly sharing that thought pattern with three others
'How did Jarod do that?'
'How did I do that? It should be imps-THE DNA! It absorbed some of Dialga's power!'
'How could a normal, pokémo-GO-GRO! GROO!'
Jarceus: I hope you all enjoyed this chapter. Hopefully you will tune in next time, where we will see, just how fucked up the plot can get! See ya!
