Thulle's POV
There's the Altar of Holon, where the transparent Friendship-type Gear of Holon, the last gear we need, lies. We were planning to grab it as we aboard the Rainbow Stoneship, but urgent times call for change of plans. I quickly grabbed it and ran towards camp. Litho's is coming, and I am almost certain he has an army with him.
"I hope Hydroflora made it," I said to myself as I ran.
"You should worry more about yourself than for that Carvanha," a voice said from behind. I started to run faster.
"You think you can outrun me?" the voice asked. declared portal to teleport near the base camp, but far enough to not be seen. The person talking to me shouldn't know about the camp, especially since he can teleport too.
"Esperanto," I declared as the Xatu chasing me revealed itself.
"Oh, you remember, Thullius," Esperanto smiled. "After all, we WERE partners."
"That was BEFORE I knew Dialga was crazy!" I retorted. "You should've as well!"
"Oh come on," Esperanto responded. "Don't tell me you weren't tempted by the reward we would've gotten!"
"What we did was wrong!" I shouted.
"WHO CARES?" Esperanto retorted, raising his voice. "You were always one to choose honor over family," he added.
"You're not my family," I scoffed as I started to walk away. "Not anymore."
"Oh, so I guess Svita isn't your family, too," Esperanto teased.
"DO NOT TALK ABOUT SVITA," I growled as I grabbed Esperanto by the red scarf he likes to wear.
"Svita, our teammate that risked her life for our cause?" Esperanto continued, not listening at all to what I said.
"SPOKOINO, TY SUKABLYAD'!" I shouted in my home tongue, using Quick Attack on the Xatu. Apparently, that was what he was waiting for, as he started to use his own attack, too.
Dawn's POV
"Oh!" I gasped, gaining everyone's attention. We were discussing about our plan of attack against Lithos, when I suddenly felt something as I touched Thulle's green scarf (which he, for some reason, left behind)
"What's happening, Dawn?' Blaze asked.
"Another dizzy spell," I replied, then I saw a vision again. Actually, several visions!
Thulle, a Roselia, and a Xatu adventuring a cave, discovering a gem that creates portals,
The same trio making an agreement with Lithos and Dialga,
The Roselia injured, dying in Thulle's arms,
Thulle betraying Lithos and the Xatu, using a Luminous Orb to escape,
Thulle transforming into a human,
Thulle meeting me and Ash,
Thulle helping the two of us, along with several of our friends, battle Dialga (as humans),
Us meeting Thulle as a Treecko,
Thulle and Ash gathering the Time Gears,
and Thulle battling the Xatu near the camp, battling it out to the finish.
"What do you see, Dawn?" Ash asked.
"It's Thulle," I said, "he's in trouble!"
"Then let's go!" Rowan exclaimed. We all ran to the place where I saw the battle occur, and what we saw was a mess. The Xatu already pinned his opponent to the ground, prepared to do the finishing move, but Thulle, powered by Overgrow, suddenly used an unknown move, which sent the Xatu flying towards a tree trunk, which stabbed him in the stomach.
"Thulle!" Hydroflora exclaimed as she ran to the beaten-up Pokémon, who collapsed in a heap due to fatigue. "If you die on me," I'll mallet yourusedst until it looks like your condition now!"
"That... doesn't... affect me..." Thulle groaned out.
"You're alive!" Hydroflora exclaimed as we all started cheering. Chance then used Softboiled on heal Thulle enough for him to be able to stand.
"We shouldn't celebrate just yet," Rowan said.
"Yes," Ash agreed. "Lithos is here."
A/N: Kind of a filler episode, but this explains a lot about the one main character we know nothing about. Expect the Battle of Holon to be next chapter (hopefully), and expect many people to die. Please review, and non-constructive flamers will be sent to the depths of the Distortion World.
