Crashed Landing

"I am done with my graceless heart
So tonight I'm gonna cut it out and then restart
Cause I like to keep my issues strong
It's always darkest before the dawn"

Jay blinked in confusion, then looked around at his surroundings. Jezz was next to him, along with Xatu, Vileplume, and Chimecho, and he was staring at him with anxiety and panic. They were in the middle of a meadow, and there were no buildings in site; he could only see a few wild Tauros and Mudbray off in the distance.

"What…what is going on?" Jay asked Jezz. "Did you just teleport us?"

"It was an accident!" Jezz sputtered anxiously.

"Are you okay?" Jay asked as he observed his face. "You look terrified. It's no big deal, only an accident. You can send us back to the Pokemon center."

"I am unable to do that, Jay," Jezz asserted.

"Why is that?" Jay questioned suspiciously.

"I cannot go back. I apologize but it is the truth that I cannot," he replied tearfully.

"Wait…don't cry!" Jay apologized.

Jay didn't expect that; was baffled over Jezz's emotional reaction to a simple question.

"Xatu can bring us back, just ask. He listens to you sometimes, right?" Jay tried.

"What I mean is…I meant to come here…then you and Amber woke up from your sleep. I didn't want you to come along, that is why I told you to step back. But you grabbed my arm…you weren't supposed to do that. I was supposed to be alone, but now you are here," Jezz attempted to explain.

"I don't get it. Are you running away?" Jay questioned.

Jezz nodded.

"What the hell?!" he demanded.

"I feel I cannot sufficiently explain," Jezz sighed.

"You can certainly try!" Jay exclaimed.

Jay was not angry, but he did feel upset and confused. Jezz knew this, but not what to do about it. He didn't know what else to say, so he said the first thing that popped into his head.

"I don't want to hang out with your group anymore," he claimed, crossing his arms.

"No. That not true," Jay argued. "You said you loved us, and I believe that is true with all my head and heart."

"I do love you but that doesn't mean I should stay," Jezz responded.

"That is exactly what that means!" Jay emphasized.

"You do not understand me, Jay," Jezz asserted. "You can't. You cannot relate, no matter how much effort you force into the situation."

"I know we are not completely alike but why does that mean I can't relate?" Jay questioned.

"I don't know. I wish you could," Jezz answered.

Jay tried to look Jezz in the eyes, but he kept darting them away. Jezz finally decided to give up and allow him to meet his gaze.

"I am upset because last I remember it was the middle of the night, and you were distressed about something. Then I woke up here, broad daylight, and I have no idea where we are," Jay explained slowly. "Or what time it is. Or why we are the only humans around. Why are we in the middle of nowhere? How far away did you take us?"

"We are technically still in Kiwi Mountain City," said Jezz offhandedly.

"We can't be. We are in an abandoned field, not a Pokemon Center," Jay pointed out.

"This is what Kiwi Mountain looked like about fifty years ago," Jezz mumbled.

"Huh?" Jay grunted.

"Xatu can not only show us the past and future…he can bring us there…sorta," Jezz explained.

"We are in the past?" Jay questioned. "Or future…"

"Past," Jezz responded. "I think."

Jay was once again baffled. He had heard rumors about this kind of power from Sandshrew, but the fact that it was actually real and that one of his closest friends possessed it was almost too shocking to believe.

"You have so much explaining to do," Jay admonished. He crossed his arms and stared him down. "Get started. Start with why. Why are we here? Why did you do this, and why won't you send us back?"

"I didn't want anyone to come after me," Jezz answered as he sat down on the ground. "I meant to come by myself."

Jay was annoyed by Jezz's nonchalant attitude and at how he skated around the questioned, but he decided to let it go for the moment and sat down next to him. He realized he wasn't going to get anywhere by attempting to match Jezz's mindset.

"And Xatu…" Jay continued.

"Xatu still only listens to me when he wants to. He is entirely unreliable. He didn't want to use teleport, and his teleport isn't that strong anyway. I don't think he would even be able to take anyone with him. But he can go back and forth between the past, present, and the future. He didn't mind following this command for some reason," Jezz responded.

"Probably because he knew it was a bad idea and wanted to screw with you," Jay grumbled.

Jezz hesitated. "I should send you back. Xatu, return Jay to the present."

Xatu flew next to Jay. Jay jumped out of the way right before the Xatu disappeared.

"No way! I am not going back without you," Jay told Jezz as gripped his shoulders. "Please talk to me. Tell me why you did this. Nothing you can say…"

"…will make you care about me any less," Jezz finished for him. He looked down, away from Jay. "I knew you would say that, but I don't see how you can thoroughly believe it."

"There is only one way to find out," Jay pointed out. "Now talk, please? I can't read minds."

Jezz rubbed the back of his neck anxiously. "I suppose that is true."

Jezz recited the story he told Amber. He talked about his Porygon destroying the files and the subsequent house explosion, about his constant cycle of lying to people and then running away, and finally, the transition that he never discussed with anyone other than Amber and the people at Spectrum. It took Jay a while to process the information, because it came at him all at once.

"Jezz, I can't help but feel a bit betrayed," Jay told him after several moments of silence had passed between them.

"Can you please be a bit more specific? When did I betray you the most?" Jezz questioned.

"You…you shouldn't have felt ashamed of this. You shouldn't have had gone through all this misery. We wouldn't have taken—we won't take—advantage of your feelings," Jay told him.

"I was only ever accepted once in my life, when I met Rita, when her and all those people at the shelter helped me. I liked her because she did not make me feel like a leech to society. I couldn't stay there though because I knew it was going to end. Either those people who were looking for me would find me and make me stay with them or the social workers would take me to a different house that treated me bad or someone would have discovered what I'd done, or someone I really cared about would move away or die and so I ran away before any of those things could happen. This way I could be in control, at least a small bit. I never stayed anywhere for too long. I did every Pokemon league by myself. Above all I feared that someone would find out about my past and expose me and later resent everything that I was," said Jezz. "So I never let anyone get too close."

"Then why did you have us dive into your past? Isn't that what Rumika, Rita, and Lucy are doing? Aren't they looking for your roots?" Jay inquired. "It's a paradox."

"That decision was a risk. I finally felt like I was going to come out to you all, tell you about everything, even the crimes…but then I chickened out. I started to realize I was in too deep, and that is why I packed up all my things and had Xatu take me here. I wanted to go to a place where I never existed. I was going to live here, and maybe you all would come looking for me, but you'd never find me. This is the place where no one can find us. I can hide forever, and it would be okay."

Jay was equally shocked from Jezz's rapid character change as he was from his confessions. He couldn't believe this was the same kid who he and Amber saw as sheltered, impressionable, and shy. Now Jezz just revealed himself to be none of those things. Except one thing was the same. Jezz was scared, and it was very obvious. Jay decided in this moment that he had to be the new leader; Annastasia, Rita, Nolan, Lexi, or Amber weren't around to do it, and Jezz wasn't in a position to make any important decisions.

"You had a reason for destroying those files…you said that those people shamed you, hurt you, and had plans to hunt you down…and you were young…and you never had anyone there to teach you that who you are is okay," Jay assured him. "You did it to protect yourself, and things got out of hand. Good people don't resent other people for defending themselves, even if they…accidentally make a house explode…"

Despite the intensity of the situation, Jezz and Jay both laughed lightly at Jay's last few words. The world of Pokemon was impressive when it enabled an emotionally distressed eight-year old to destroy an entire house, leaving almost no viable remains. Jezz only revealed his toughest side in spurts, and Jay was only beginning to realize that Jezz could very intimidating at times.

"And my identity? Aren't you mad that I didn't tell you?" Jezz inquired.

"I understand. I now get what you meant when you said we 'aren't the same'. We grew up in very different worlds. I never got hit by adults for expressing myself. Of course the kids at school liked to hit…but I had somebody there to help me out," said Jay. "A few somebodies, to be precise."

Jezz's face brightened up a bit, but he was obviously still very conflicted and miserable. Jay wondered how Jezz would be handling the situation if he wasn't there.

"And look on the bright side, Jezz. You are really good at passing," Jay pointed out.

"I suppose that is true," Jezz agreed with a little smile. "Even Rita, the first day I met her, she compared me…she compared me to you, actually. She said we looked alike. She understood me right away. It was nice."

"Rita told you about me?" Jay questioned.

"I little bit. She told me that you looked like me, that you were a year younger than me, that you were very upbeat person, and that you were very nice. She also said that you didn't like to go down to Spectrum, because you were afraid of making the other kids feel uncomfortable because we were all either kicked out our homes or runaways, and we were all poor while you grew up rich and loved," he explained.

"That is really sad," Jay murmured. "If you don't mind me asking…Rita…does she know all of this?"

"It depends on what you mean by all of this. You see, when Rita and I reunited late last year, she immediately knew it was me, the Jamie kid she had once helped. I guess my disguise wasn't all that great…but then again, she is a spy and therefore trained to see through people. And we talked again, just like we did all those years ago, and for a little while it felt like not much had changed. The difference was that now I had more friends and a different look and name. The Porygon, the house, she knows about that too. She didn't say anything because she wants to protect me. Now that I am gone again, I am sure she will reveal everything to Team Rocket. She is going to be worried about me. She is going to want to do everything she can to find and help me this time and now I am at peace if she decides to reveal those things," he explained. "Because no one can hunt me down here."

"Does this mean that you are no longer afraid?" Jay questioned.

"I needed proof that someone can be my friend despite all my baggage. Rita said you and everyone else in our group would love me, but I was afraid. You see, with Rita things are different. Rita is just doing her job when she talks to me, so even though we trust each other now, our relationship was never based on trust. You and Amber…you are kids, like me. I wanted so badly to trust you the way you trusted me, but I couldn't because I couldn't know for sure how you'd feel or how our relationship would change if I confessed my crime and exposed my identity. I realized if I took control and ran from what was causing me pain, then I would no longer be afraid," he responded.

"We were causing you pain," Jay whispered. "Amb and I thought that maybe…oh Amb, she is going to be very, very mad at you. I thought I was angry, but no one can get as enraged as she can, not even my mom can reach her level. Shell pummel you, probably make you cry. I am warning you. You think you are scared now…"

"Jay, despite what I said, I do not plan on returning to the group," said Jezz. "Amber can be mad at me if she wants, because unless she gets some major outside help, she is never going to find me here."

Jay let out a frustrated sigh. Jezz wasn't listening to him. Jay knows that he is not able to get angry the way Amber can, but no one can get as attached and upset as he can.

"Since when did you become so arrogant?" Jay questioned.

"I suppose I was born this way," Jezz replied offhandedly.

"No, your voice…I can tell. You are acting, right now. It's something that you do sometimes. I have been watching you, ever since the Indigo League, and so I know that this isn't you," Jay concluded.

"I was in a bad place for a while Jay. Please understand that everything changed for me so quickly. And Annie, when Annie came and talked to me, and I looked her in the eyes and lied…it was the worst feeling in the world. She didn't do it to me, I did it to myself. And now I fear that I let her down in the worst way possible," Jezz explained guiltily. "So I will not go back. It is better this way. You, however, should go."

Jay offered his hand. "I am not going to go without you."

Jezz contemplated that suggestion. Jay expected him to reach a conclusion, but instead he released a new set of tears.

"I am sorry for hiding from you," he choked out.

"It's okay. You'll be okay," Jay assured him. He let Jezz cry into his shoulder. "We don't have to go back yet. Take your time."

Day 56

It was a typical Saturday morning at the Morgan household. Rumika was visiting, as she usually did on the weekends, and she and Lucy were contently reading the newspaper on the front porch. Jessie, James, Meowth, and Wobbufet were attempting to simultaneously soothe the twins while getting ready to head over to the Pallet House. Meanwhile, they had forgotten once again to pay the electric bill, and then James' Raichu and the Mew sisters cased a surge that burnt out all the lights while helping to power up the house, so now they were struggling to keep lights on while the tried to look for their homemade uniforms. Then the phone rang.

"I'm getting' it!" Meowth announced. He jumped over James and ran to the phone. "No way I'm gonna keep dealin' with this baby stuff."

Silver had just spit up all over the place, and Rose was now able to sit up and crawl, and she used her new ability to grab every small item in sight and to throw it at anyone who tried to dress her.

"Oh hi, A," Meowth greeted her. "Whatcha up to?"

"There is a bit of an emergency here," Annastasia answered.

Meowth looked back at Jessie and James. "Yeah, dere's somethin' going wrong over here too," he responded.

"Really? What happened? "Annastasia asked anxiously, assuming that for once Meowth wasn't being sarcastic.

"Yere parents and Wobbufet are bein' defeated by infants," he clarified.

"Wobbba!" Wobbufet cried in confirmation.

"Oh, it's only that," Annastasia sighed, half relieved, half irritated. "Meowth, I have a real emergency. I need to talk to one of them."

Wobbufet took the phone from Meowth and handed it to James. James handed the screaming baby girl to Meowth, who took her away and started singing.

"Hello dear. I didn't realize that you were on the phone with Meowth. He's right about things being hectic around here. The crying, the screaming, and if Meowth keeps singing 'Every Rose has its Thorn' whenever your sister gets fussy, I might just go insane."

"Ok," Annastasia softly acknowledged. "Um, so I know this is a bad time but it's really important. Maybe I should talk to Rumika instead. Is she at the house, hiding from you all?"

"Indeed," James answered. "But you can talk to me."

James walked out of the room, much to Meowth and Jessie's dismay, but he ignored them as he walked down the stairs and into the empty kitchen. No one but the Eevee sisters followed him. Once Annastasia noticed that the background noise had substantially decreased, she explained her situation to her father. He started panicking immediately.

"I have a plan though. I need you to call Giovanni and tell him what is going on. He can get Archer, Domino, Viper, Peirce, and all the other executives to help out. I am going to go after Amber. Lucario, Mewtwo, and I will be able to track her once we get closer to her. She is trackable because she did not use teleport as the others presumably did. We think she might have left Alola, but will were search farther if we need to," Annastasia explained. "We also need you to tell Ash, Misty, and Jezz's guardians about this so that they know what is happening. I can't do it myself. I have too much to handle over here."

"Ok. Sounds like a good plan," James responded, dreading the conversations he was going to have to have with a few parents. "I…do you know why Jay followed him?"

"I don't think it was intentional. According to Sandshrew, Jay got accidentally teleported alongside Jezz. I am assuming he is still with Jezz, wherever he is, and hopefully he can convince Jezz to come back to us," she responded.

"Okay. Bye Anna-chan," he replied sadly before hanging up the phone.

On her end, Annastasia decided to call Jay again, hoping this time he would pick up his cell.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"I'm tired, let's land now," Amber told Jay's Togekiss.

"Tooooooog," he sighed.

They started to descend. Amber was used to riding flying-type Pokémon, but she was not used to flying for hours on end, and the fact that now supposed to be asleep only made it harder. Once they landed she looked at her phone. It was 3:34am on Saturday morning.

"They must have gone far," Amber sighed.

She knew Togekiss had an uncanny ability to find Jay, but it had been hours, and they searched in all directions. She reasoned that they must have left Alola altogether. She let the other Pokémon out of their balls. They looked around the empty campsite in confusion, not sure why she had brought them there.

"Pikapi!" Pip complained.

"I know you hate your Pokeball, but this was an emergency", Amber explained to the annoyed Pikachu. "Jezz is upset and missing, and he took Jay along with him. I have to find them asap."

Pip hadn't been in his ball in years, and even then, it was only for a very short period of time. Her other Pokémon also complained.

"I am going to sleep here for a while, then in the morning, someone else can fly instead of Togekiss," she told her collection of bird Pokémon. Pidgeot, Talonflame, and Unfeasant nodded. She took her sleeping bag out of her backpack and spread it on the soft grass. "Goodnight. Or good, morning, I guess."

Amber's stomach woke her up around 7am. After checking the time and getting some more water from the spout that was placed on the other end of the campsite, she looked for something to eat. She checked her bag and discovered that Annastasia had packed a few emergency snacks for her. She hastily ate one of the protein bars then left to go find the restrooms.

"This campsite is just like all the others. I reckon we should get out of here quick, before anyone else shows up," she told Pip.

"Pikapika," the Pokémon responded.

Amber thought back to earlier on in their journey and tried to think of reasons Jezz would want to leave.

"He said I lot of strange things, right Pip?" she asked the Pokémon.

"Pidgeeeee"

"Pika"

"I remember how he always wanted to spend so much time alone…but he never really said why…unless he was sick…I bet he was planning to run for a while now," she continued.

"Pi," Pip agreed.

"Did he regret talking to me?" Amber wondered aloud.

"Pika," said Pip, shaking his head 'no'.

"I don't know if that is true, Pip. Why else would he have fled? Although he seemed relieved to get it off his chest, maybe that was an act. Maybe he was really deeply upset about it," Amber told the Pikachu.

Pip shrugged. Amber turned to the rest of her Pokémon. They had compensated for the lack of Pokémon food by seeking out berries in the nearby woods. She decided it was time to come up with a plan.

"I wonder if I should call A back," she sighed.

Her Pokémon nodded enthusiastically. Amber stared at the phone for a while. Then she heard the sound of people talking. They were getting louder and louder; she could tell they were coming towards her. Amber returned all the Pokémon and hid behind one of the cabins.

"Cassandra, Mike, Rai, I want to stop here and use the restrooms," a girl requested. "I am sick of holding it."

"We've only been walking for an hour," one of the boys complained.

Pip escaped his Pokeball and ran to greet the three strangers.

"A Pikachu!" one of the girls exclaimed.

"I never saw a wild one before. Let's catch it," said one of the boys.

Pip shook his head 'no', but the kids ignored him. One of them released their Rydon. Someone else released a Magmar. They ordered them to attack, and Pip got ready to fight.

"Hold on!" Amber exclaimed. She waved her hands up in surrender as she ran from her hiding spot. "Pip, you can't fight. I don't have any potions to revive you with."

"Piii," he sighed in disappointment.

"This Pikachu belongs to you?" one of the girls asked. She looked like a teenager. The other girl was closer to her age, and she was familiar.

"Amber, I can't believe I ran into you," said Cassandra.

"Oh. I wasn't sure if that was you," Amber responded honestly. "Yeah, Pip is mine."

The Pikachu nodded for confirmation. The two boys, Mike and Rai, groaned and returned their Pokémon.

"I know you because I saw you on stage at the last Pokémon Contest," Amber told Cassandra. "But how do you know me?"

"Your friends Jay and Jezz were gushing about you. They pointed you out to me in the audience," Cassandra responded. "So where is the rest of your group?"

"Ahhh umm they…. they went on a hike," Amber lied.

"Really? Why didn't you go too? Jezz told me you loved the woods," Cassandra replied.

"I…I didn't know Jezz talked about me," Amber mumbled.

"What was that?" Cassandra questioned.

"Nothing," she answered quickly. "I mean I am just tired."

"You looked tired," said one of the boys. "I'm Rai."

"Mike"

"Radly"

"Amber," she responded.

"We are going to hang out here for a bit," said Radly.

"What?" the two boys complained. "Whyyy?"

"Because I am a girl and hate walking in these shoes!" Radly responded. "My feet need a break."

They boys groaned and then walked off. Radly and Cassandra sat down on one of the benches near an empty fire bit. They invited Amber to join them.

"So how is your journey going so far?" Cassandra asked Amber.

"Ok," she responded quietly.

"You seem down. Not like the fiery girl I heard about," Cassandra replied with an encouraging smile.

"Are you feeling well? We have something you can take," Radly offered.

"No, it's not that, I'm just tired," she repeated.

"I think we should stay here with you at least until your group gets back. It's weird, we were just walking through the woods and we didn't hear or see anything out there," Radly commented.

"No. It's fine. I suggest you move on," Amber insisted.

The girls shrugged and left to go use the restroom. Since no one was now watching her, she decided to take off, this time on Pidgeot. Amber figured the kids wouldn't look into it. But when Cassandra and Radly returned to the spot where they left her alone, they panicked.

"We have to call her friends right away!" Cassandra exclaimed. "She is gone. I know we shouldn't have left her here alone. She could have gotten kidnapped!"

"Calm down, Cassandra. Do you have anyone's number?" Radly responded.

"I have Jay, Jezz, June, and Jocelyn's number," Cassandra answered. "They were all in the last contest. I'll call June. She seems like the super responsible type."

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

June was sitting in the Morgan's bungalow, picking at her breakfast. Jocelyn, Benny, Takeshi, and most of their Pokémon joined them. Logan and Michio were in the kitchen talking to someone on the phone, while Annastasia, Lily, Maya, and the other Pokémon members of their group were out searching for the three missing children. June's phone rang, and she picked it up right away.

"Cassandra, how are you?" June asked sweetly, masking her anxiety.

"Good. We were just talking to Amber. Then we left to go use the restroom, but when we returned she was gone. She said you all were hiking in the woods nearby, but we can't spot you," Cassandra explained.

"You found her!" June exclaimed.

"What do you mean?" Cassandra questioned.

"Amber, Jezz, and Jay, are all missing," she explained. By now everyone had gathered around to listen to June talk. "Jezz ran away, Jay followed him, and then Amber went to go after the both of them. Where are you now?"

"We are on the north side of the mainland," Cassandra answered. "I had no idea! Amber must have lied to us."

"Yeah," June sighed sadly. "Thanks Cassandra. If she returns, call us immediately. Also, see if you can reach Jezz or Jay. They aren't picking up for any of us."

"Will do. Good luck," Cassandra responded.

"What is going on?" Radly asked her friend.

"Amber, Jezz, and Jay and in big trouble," she answered.

xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Jezz kept trying to send Jay back, but Jay kept on dodging every chance he got. After a while Jay's concerned turned into rage, something Jezz had never seen before in his best friend. They were now walking side by side, but neither of them said a word.

"Xattttt", Xatu cooed at them.

The psychic bird pecked Jezz with its beak. Then it landed in front of the two boys, forcing them to stop in their tracks. When they tried to go around it, it pecked both of them.

"I think it wants to show us something," Jay said tiredly.

"I know, but I don't want to see," Jezz responded anxiously.

"Xuuu!" it cried.

"Just listen to it," Jay sigh mumbled irritably.

Xatu continued to harass the boys. Jay was sad to see one of Jezz's Pokémon completely disobeying him. All his others always treated him with so much respect.

Jezz gave up and just stood there, frustrating Jay even further. It was bad enough he had no idea where he was or where he was going, but Jezz was not giving him any answers. Then from the lack of sleep, proper hydration, and food combined with very high mental stress caused Jezz to finally collapse onto the ground.

"Yeep!" Jay squealed as he dropped down next to him. "Xatu, Vileplume, Delcatty, Chimecho, Frufrou, Porygon, what do I do?"

"Chiiiiimmeeee!" Chimecho sang. The heal bell had clearly hit Jezz, but he didn't react.

"He tries to run away, accidentally takes me with him me with him, and we travel in time and then he gets upset and ignores me. Now we are out of food and water, totally lost, sleep deprived and I have no idea why he fainted or what to do about it," Jay thought to himself.

"Xatu!" the bird yelled at Jay.

"That's right! Xatu, you can help, can't you?" Jay asked the birdlike Pokémon.

"Xuu?" it shrugged.

"Can you teleport me to a hospital?" Jay requested. Xatu shook its head 'no' and cooed a few times.

"Please?" he begged. "I know Pokémon are only supposed to take orders from their trainers, but you know this is an emergency. Jezz needs your help, and so do I."

The Pokémon cooed a few more times. Jay sighed and observed Jezz. Despite him being out cold, his heart was racing and he had a very obvious fever. Chimecho used heal bell again, but as usual, its effects only lasted a few moments. Jay searched through his bag to see if there was inside that could help.

"I wonder why he has these", Jay commented as he lifted up a small medicine purse. "These are the same pills A has to take. Did he steal them?"

He also noticed a few other items that he was very surprised that Jezz would have. Jezz was carrying over a dozen books, all manuals and how-to guides, and he also had a notebook almost entirely filled with notes. He also found what appeared to be a toiletry bag filled with hair dye, mace, a knife, one hundred dollars cash, sunglasses, sunblock, NRTIs, PIs, tampons, and some food. He reasoned Jezz either grabbed Annastasia's toiletry bag by accident or he was one of those odd children who collected random items. He decided he wouldn't put it passed Jezz. Jay moaned in anguish when he realized there was nothing in that bag that could help his friend. He looked back at Jezz, who hadn't stirred since he passed out several minutes ago.

"I have to get out of here," he sighed, trying to calm his pending panic attack. "Xatu, let's try this again."
