Author's Note: Hello! Here's #42! It's a long one, and judging by the title it's also pretty important...I hope you're ready!

Also I do not own Fairy Tail or Pokémon.


Chapter Forty Two - Mysteries Revealed


Tension was now filling the top floor of the Mossdeep Space Center as Professor Cozmo ordered all of his fellow gamers to step back to the back of the room, in order to make space for the fight.

Matt and Courtney appeared to have willingly team-up once again just to get themselves to the same resolution, a resolution that ends with Magma and Aqua receiving their own server.

"GO SHARPEDO!"

"GO CAMERUPT!"

On the opposite side of the room, Natsu and Steven stood tall and defiant as they tried to defend their plan.

"GO METAGROSS!"

"GO ERZA!"

Then, the queen of the Fairies took the field with an odd expression. "Natsu I don't think I'm your best choice for this particular fight?"

He ignored her and shouted the same word as the other three trainers.

"MEGA EVOLVE!"

Erza turned her head to see her partner Metagross, and the opposing Sharpedo and Camerupt all began their new transformation."

"…RE-QUIP!" Erza finished the scene and quickly emerged into her Poké Flame Empress Armor. Right away, her Metagross ally shook with fear and crept away from Erza.

Steven let out a sigh. "Oh great…I think he's still afraid of you after you beat him in the Elite 4 fight."

Erza smiled. "Ah! That was the same Pokémon I roasted alive in the end…I hope he can keep up!" She ascended into the air and came down right on top of the Sharpedo with an intense amount of power and pressure.

"AGH!" She rallied her war cry once her hard hitting fists nailed the poor fish down into the ground and nearly broke it's back.

"Erza used Sky Uppercut! It's Super Effective!"

She then cocked her view and looked to see that Metagross had just delivered an easy fatal blow in the form of Zen Head-butt to Camerupt as well. Matt stood with a gaping mouth. "Whoa…Dang it! Am I not good enough, bro?!"

Courtney shook with confusion and rage as she began stomping her feet. "Why? Why must...you always...Always, always, always, always...Get in my way!"

However, Steven was still paying attention. "…Natsu! Now is our chance! Take the shard from them and–"

Then, before anyone made a move, a tiny purple Whismer came running into the room. Nigel sat back in Magnolia with Lucy and the gang, and looked real closely at the new visitor. "That Pokémon… Doesn't it belong to…?"

However, before he could finish, the tiny little think jumped up and swiped the Meteorite Shard from Matt's forceful grip and flipped back over to the stair way.

Matt let out a yell. "Th-that punk! How dare it try to take my bro Archie's Key Stone?! And now it's takin' the Meteorite?! Not cool, man! Not cool!

"Wha...Errgh!" Courtney agreed. However, her calculating brain could not figure out the issue at hand. Then, before anyone else said another word, Zinnia came in with a glowing smile on her face.

"Nice! So this is the heart of the famous Space Center everyone talks about! Pretty impressive, huh, Aster?"

The little Whismer let out a tiny noise and then threw Zinnia the rock. Matt went to move, but Zinnia stepped back with a grin. "Oh? Where's the harm in it? Don't be such a stick-in-the-mud! "

She then turned to see an angry Natsu looking right back at her. "Oh me, we do seem to keep running into one another. You are a busy boy, Natsu!"

Natsu growled. "GYAH! YOU AGAIN!? Look I ain't got time for your crap! Give us the shard, or prepare to get smoked!"

Natsu was ready to fight, but Steven wanted more answers. "Who…are you?"

Zinnia then began to look all innocent. "Me? I'm Zinnia! Just your regular ol' tourist, nothing more. Dreaming of taking a little trip into space... Heh."

She then flipped the shard of rock in her hand and smiled at the entire crowd. "All right! And the winner is Zinnia! Oh, oh, what's this? Aren't you a happy girl, Aster? Just what I'd expect of my daughter! We're so in sync! Ahahaha!"

Natsu ran forward, but Steven stopped him by holding out an arm.

"You never answered my question…who are you?"

Silence filled the large room as Zinnia began to giggle once more.

"Who am I? That's a surprisingly difficult question. ... I couldn't become who I was supposed to be, so who does that make me now? ... Haha! Whatever, right? Enough with the introspection and the soul searching... You there! Natsu!" She cried out as her finger directed to the Dragon Slayer. "Don't just stand there like a stick in the mud. Come on over and say hi."

"YEA? IT'LL BE MY PLEASURE TO…!" Natsu extended his hands in an angry motion, but not before Matt ran over to secure him.

Steven nodded to thank Matt, and then looked back to Zinnia. "And more importantly, what's your obsession with Natsu…the only one in here not affiliated with the gaming company?"

Zinnia wagged her finger. "Isn't it obvious? He's the hero, right? He defeats all the bad guys! Phantom Lord, his own rebellious guild mates, the Tower of Heaven, Hades from the fabled Grimoire Heart…and now he's here to save the world again."

Lucy pondered through her very selective choice of occasions where Natsu and the guild emerged victorious. "Hold on…she forgot some major villains just now…?"

Zinnia then snapped her head up once more. "Oops. But looks like he's a bit too late this time. If only you'd been here just one minute earlier!"

Natsu calmed down as Matt released him. "Oh yea? Well who's to say I'm not right on time…?"

Natsu and Zinnia then held an intense bit of eye contact for a few seconds before Zinnia shook her head and looked over to her pet. "All right. I'd say this Key Stone is mine. We finally got everything, Aster."

They both ran quickly down the stairs before letting the other catch up. "Now we can do it: The summoning. We will summon Rayquaza!" Then, Aster and her master Zinnia were long gone.

Steven tilted his head. "Ray-qua-za…? Oh no…"

Nigel took the conversation. "She's gonna capture the only Pokémon who can get you past the server's atmosphere!"

Natsu never waited for an explanation before rushing out of the room and down the stairs.

"Natsu!?" Steven shouted out in confusion.

The Salamander yelled back. "Don't worry…I've got this."

As he ran, Nigel and the others spent the next few moments frantically preparing for the next scene to play out.

However, the person who looked the most worried of all was Lucy.

"Guys, we don't even know all of Zinnia's Pokémon. Who's to say she doesn't just beat Natsu in one turn? After all she did spend that whole pre-battle just testing his strength!"

Nigel tried to calm her down. "I know Lucy, I know. But right now we have no time to plan every little detail. Natsu's done this sort of thing a thousand times before. He can add another tally to the column."

Lucy put her hand on Levy's shoulder. "Levy, you agree with me right?"

"W-wha…?" Levy acted started as she readjusted her glasses. "Oh I'm really sorry, Lu! But I really need to work out these statistics for Nigel…" She then continued working with the rest of the Fairies on a backup plan in case Natsu couldn't reach the meteor in time.

Then, everyone huddled up to prep for battle, but Lucy still wasn't convinced.

"I don't know…I can't just give up and let Natsu wonder into a random fight…I'd never feel good about myself…" She then looked down to her hand held game.

"If only my character could leave her house…Then I could go help Natsu…" She asked herself in the process of a deep thought, but then realized there was little she could do…from behind the controller.

Then, it hit her.

"I'VE GOT IT!" Lucy quickly saved and turned her virtual game off, and soon after she darted up from her seat and ran for the other end of the compound. Everyone back at the computers was too busy to notice Lucy running right into the teleporter box, and as she did she began looking around for inside controls.

"Agh, dang it! I need to get this thing turned on…!" She need help, but didn't want to alert Nigel or the others.

Luckily for her, one other curious Fairy did manage to see her run off.

"Teehee! Oh what are you doing Lucy?" Mavis Vermilion smiled and looked down to her blonde Guild Mate in a sly manor.

Lucy lit up with a smile of her own. "First Master Mavis! I…I…I need your help."


Now, we return to Natsu Dragneel as he soars through the skies with his powerful Mirajane, and once he caught a glimpse of the familiar triangular tower in the distance, he pointed for landing.

"Over there, Mira! Screw flyin' to the bottom! Just set me on top!"

Mira nodded and looked down to land Natsu at the near empty Sky Pillar. Once he landed, he noticed Rayquaza was not here, but Zinnia was. Natsu collected Mira before landing, and as she disappeared he fell far from the ground and landed on his feet right behind Zinnia and the elder looking alter at the top of the tower.

Zinnia heard the thud and turned to reveal a great big grin. "Oh Natsu! I am so-so-so happy to see you followed me!"

Natsu wiped his cheek and held up his fists. "Yea? Well I can't say the same from my point of view."

Zinnia busted out in laughter. "HAHA! Man, you need to take a chill pill, man. You're always so loud and obnoxious, then when someone else decides to act all crazy you get angry and try to threaten them…"

Natsu shouted back. "Look I've had it with this odd behavior! I'm here to set you straight and end this once and for all!" He then pulled out a Poké Ball from his belt.

Zinnia raised an eyebrow and tapped her lip with a finger. "Hmm…well, I suppose I was already expecting this…GO GOODRA!"

Natsu stepped back as the Dragon tamer sent out her first Pokémon. Just like one Lucy fought in X and Y, a large purple dragon made of liquid goo came in with a great big smile on its face.

Natsu shouted in reverse. "GO JUVIA!"

Then, Juvia of the Great Sea emerged to defend her trainer. "You want me to defeat this Pokémon? Very well I can do that just easily…WATER NEBULA!"

Juvia let out a fierce Hydro Pump that nearly sent Goodra over the edge. However, the poor dragon fell to its knees before it could anyway.

Zinnia laughed and cycled in her next choice. "Man that chick isn't even a real S-Class mage, and she's still super strong!"

Juvia now had a large vein popping out of her head. "If I've learned anything from this adventure it's that I don't need to be labeled an S-Class mage to fight like one."

Zinnia couldn't hear her as she carried on. "GO NOIVERN!"

Then, Natsu recognized the daunting Dragon/Bat Pokémon that swooped onto the field. "Agh! Juvia be careful! That's the Pokémon Mira turned into…!"

Sadly his message was too late. The giant dragon whirled around and sent a powerful Dragon Pulse right into Juvia's face, forcing her back and onto the ground in defeat.

As she coughed, Natsu collected her. "Okay then, I'll use my own! GO MIRA!"

Then, Mirajane the She Devil joined the fight with a sinister grin as the two Noiverns locked eyes.

Zinnia stood up on her tip-toes. "Oooooo! This is gonna be epic!"

The two large beasts sent powerful purple beams of pure energy crashing into each other, which cause a large bit of damage, but no energy. Luckily, however. Mira barely had the faster Speed stat.

"HERE! TRY SOME OF THIS!" She yelled in a mocking manor as a large Dragon Claw slashed open the foe Noivern's face, crashing him into the ground and ending his battle early.

Zinnia sighed. "Well, such an unruly demon…GO ALTARIA!"

Natsu stood back as another Pokémon familiar to the team took the field, and as it did Mira tried to deliver another sinister Dragon Claw.

Sadly, this forced her to get too close to the opponent as it managed to let loose a powerful and much quicker Dragon Pulse from its location instead.

"AHHHH!" Mira let out a wailing cry before Natsu saw her health go down and forced her back into her Poké Ball.

"Agh…FINE! GO GILDARTS!"

As soon as the daunting Golem took the field, he raised up a claw. "Yea, yea I know…"

*EXPLOSION!*

A large flash and bang encircled the field and fainted both Pokémon in the middle of battle. Then, the two challengers wasted no time in keeping the ball rolling.

"GO TYRANTRUM!"

"GO JELLAL!"

Luckily, Natsu managed to call the smart move this time around. As the two Pokémon took the field, Jellal made no hesitation in Mega Evolving to his much more powerful form.

The large dinosaur went to slam its foot into the ground to produce a powerful Earthquake, but not before Jellal sent out a move fast paced Close Combat to cripple the beast and end its small reign, but also lowering his own defensive stats in the process.

Zinnia laughed hysterically and sent out her fifth Pokémon. "AHAHAHA! GO SALAMANCE!"

Then, the large winged beast that Drake used took the field with heavenly wings and a fierce expression.

"MEGA EVOLVE!" She cried as she tapped a large green anklet around her left leg to produce her next gen evolution. The Salamance then transformed into its ultra-fast Mega Evolution before swirling around the room creating a whirlwind of great force, and sadly it would eventually become Super Effective to its opponent as the dragon ended its flight and crashed into Jellal.

"Salamance used Fly! It's Super Effective!"

Jellal coughed up with pain as he landed on his knees and back inside his ball.

"Eh…" Natsu remembered this Pokémon was very capable of producing powerful attacks, and as so he got confused.

"Eh…GO ERZA!"

His daunting knight of a Blazekin quickly emerged already Mega Evolved. She dodged a powerful Dragon Pulse that aimed right at her landing spot, before roaring in to deliver her own attack.

"AGH! FIGHT ME WITH HONOR YOU COWARD!" She yelled back as the Salamance tried to repeat its Fly once more.

"ERZA NOOOO!" Natsu yelled as the ultra-fast winged beast soared down from the heavens like a lightning bolt and nailed Erza right in the face.

Natsu stood with pure rage as Zinnia smiled.

"GYAHH! LAXUS!"

Natsu never even threw his ball out, but the all-mighty Electivire still came into the battle none the less. However, he was also accompanied by an odd scarf wrapped around his head.

"AGH! What the hell is this stupid thing!?"

Natsu yelled with more rage. "WHOA LAXUS! I'M NOT LETTING YOU STEAL MY STYLE!"

Laxus snapped back. "I DON'T WANT YOUR DUMB STYLE! I WANNA KNOW WHAT ASSHOLE PUT THIS ON ME!"

Zinnia laughed. "Oh that's the Pokémon you showed me earlier! … Ahaha well I'm not sure how that Choice Band got on his head…but now he's in for one hell of a ride.

Natsu snapped back. "Agh you did this!?"

Zinnia shrugged and put a finger to her chin. "Hmm…I can't say! But he does look adorable now!"

Nigel yelled out to Natsu and his teammate. "LAXUS! I don't know how it got on there, but that's a Choice Band! It increases your attack by 50%, but only lets you use one move!"

Laxus snarled. "Tsk…well that's pretty lame." He tugged at it, but it wouldn't move from around his neck.

Natsu looked back to the field. "Okay then…pick a move!"

Laxus looked angry. "Are you a moron? My powerful moves have bad accuracy. Sure I've been dead on with my aim all game, but who's to say this crazy chick didn't screw that up too…!" He went to continue, but the fearsome Salamance came in and clawed his back with a large force.

"AGHHHH!" Laxus yelled nearly falling to his knees now that he was in the red.

Zinnia nearly howled. "Oh man! I tell ya what; I didn't think I would be sooo entertained by these falling Fairies…but I AM AHAHAHAHA!"

"Geeze, she's nuts! Has this bitch lost her mind!?" Laxus looked even more pissed off than before.

Natsu snapped back. "I DON'T KNOW JUST PICK A MOVE!"

Laxus then began to think, right as the Salamance looped back around to deliver one final blow. Before he got ahead of himself, he remembered Zinnia's exact words.

"I didn't think I would be sooo entertained by these falling Fairies…but I AM AHAHAHAHA!"

He then out a laugh. "So…she wants to be an enemy of Fairy Tail, huh? ...Perfect."

Laxus gathered his two hands and cupped them out in front of his chest. Then, he held one over the other as a small orb of light formed between them.

Natsu's jaw was dropped as he recognized the stance and the powerful force. "No way…"

As the Mega Salamance went in to deliver its final attack, Laxus looked up.

"I invoke…FAIRY LAW!"

He clapped his hands together and sent a star of pure light shining across the field, and as it did the Salamance nearly erupted by the sole sight of Laxus's bright new attack.

Then, a sinister flare of golden fire erupted and came crashing down right into the Mega Pokémon's back, ending his battle and finishing Zinnia once and for all.

"Laxus used Judgment!"

Zinnia didn't know what to say. "What…was…that?"

Natsu smiled back. "Hehe…show's over. Let's go back to the…" He went to continue, but as he did Zinnia's virtual body began to twist and flicker.

"Um…what's going on?" Asked a wide eyed Cana from back in Magnolia.

Nigel, Levy, Happy, Laxus, even Natsu remained silent as the little Aster and eccentric Zinnia disappeared before there very eyes. Then, a tiny burst filled her place, followed by a brand new character.

It had the same shape as all the other players, but it was solid black. No color, no emotion, just a pitch black entity.

Natsu walked forward before a 12 by 12 inch square appeared in front of the being's face.

Then, a familiar voice rang out.

"Weh-hell! How we doing, Fairy Tail!?"

Nigel sat forward. "That's the hacker's voice!"

Natsu looked puzzled. "No that's…no way!"

He then looked at the little black screen in front of the being's head to see a very familiar face staring back. It appeared to be an old skull attached to large wooden stick, with an Indian head dress on and a large green ball dangling out of its grinning mouth.

"NO WAY!" Natsu pointed with rage. "YOU'RE THAT LOUSY STICK GUY FROM THE ORACIÓN SEIS!"

The familiar, comical face of Klodoa the Staff then cackled in laughter. "Ahahahahaha! Well it's about time you idiots figured it out! Well, I guess Nigel's never seen me before, so one's here to say it's all his fault!"

Nigel looked very pissed off. "Who is this nut job?"

Cana scowled in her response. "That's some creepy stick who led the Oración Seis against our guild, twice. He also kidnapped Lucy during that incident with the Infinity Clock."

Nigel nodded. "Right. I heard they all got locked up after that."

Klodoa laughed. "Yes! You are right, and we're back again to reign down on you fools!"

Natsu stepped forward. "YOU SENT THAT METEOR IN TO WIPE US OUT, DIDN'T YOU!"

Klodoa laughed as you could see he was scratching his chin with the bottom end of his stick. "Well I'd shrug if I could, but yea you're right! Sadly though, you're about to stop me…so I'll have to resort to Plan B for the time being."

Laxus held onto his injured side. "Great…what's that supposed to mean?"

Klodoa then programmed his black entity to obtain six Poké balls. "Hehe! I was worried I would have to send in the Seis to wipe you out, but if I do it quick enough I can save them before the virus strikes!"

Nigel didn't like the sound of that. "Those idiots are supposed to be locked away…!"

"AGH! NO WAY IN HELL!" Laxus interrupted as he tried standing up, but couldn't due to his hard fought battle moments before.

Klodoa howled again. "HA! MAN, is he your last guy!? Ah it's a good thing I sent that fake girl out here to injure you all first. Not to mention I disabled Nigel's programming so he can't heal your team."

Natsu stood with fire in his eyes, but he began to shake with rage knowing he really couldn't do much. "Okay then…I don't know if you released them from prison, turned them into characters from inside prison, or what…send these idiots out…I can fight them myself."

Nigel slammed his fist down. "NO NATSU! People can't fight Pokemon! You remember what happened to Lucy vs Mewtwo!? YOU COULD DIE!"

Natsu cracked his neck. "Well, I ain't got any other ideas coming to mind…I don't even need my magic. I've beaten these idiots before, I can beat 'em again as Pokémon."

Klodoa shook his head. "Ahaha typical Salamander…SO RECKLESS AHAHAHA! I'LL HAVE THE SEIS DEVOUR YOU ALIVE!"

"YEA? WELL I'LL MAKE SURE TO STOP YOU!"

That didn't come from Natsu's mouth.

Natsu, Klodoa, and Laxus all turned around to find a very, VERY familiar face, this time standing behind them all at the foot of the altar.

She looked like the Cyber-Lucy Natsu had fought with throughout the entire campaign, but only a little different.

This version had a fancy black trench coat/dress with matching boots, and a red fedora with a matching handbag on her arm. Finally, her hair was tied back into two signature pig-tails, and as soon as Natsu realized it, he recognized it as Lucy's outfit from the X & Y game.

Which only meant one thing…

The very real, and very familiar face of his longtime friend left Natsu standing there with nothing but a simple smile.

"Heh…boy I've been waiting to see you, again."


WHAAAAAAA!? Did I just throw the super star from the last story back into the game she hates more than life itself? Haha...maybe?

Either way...KLODOA!? THE ORACIÓN SEIS!? Well...I wonder what those 5 monsters (and Hoteye) will look like as Pokemon...oh what a mini-twist.

Chapter 43 tomorrow...the Pokemon battle of a life time...Fairy Tail vs the Oración Seis.
