CHAPTER 1
EPISODE 1: THE JOURNEY STARTS…
The world of Mobius. It is a wonderful and marvelous place, full of wonder and mystery. In this case, Pokemon. Pokemon, you can find them everywhere on Mobius. In the skies above, and on the floating Island. To the seas below, where they can be found in the deepest of waters. In the forest of the lands all around, in caves so dark one can hardly see their hand in front of them. In the city's we live and thrive in. They have also been known to be seen in the outskirts of Space, and near and on Space Colony ARK.
There is so much we don't know about Pokemon. Yet at the same time, we do. Every day is filled with new explorations, new discoveries, and more. To learn more about Pokemon and their habits. We have people known as Pokemon Professors. It is the job of each Professor to find out and share their studies with the world. So people and Pokemon can live and better coexist with one another in harmony.
There are also people called Pokemon Trainers, and it is their job to catch every kind of Pokemon to fill up the Pokedex. A handheld device that stores the information of every Pokemon, their moves, and more. They come in several types of Dex's, and when a trainer comes of age they get to pick out what they like best. People keep Pokemon as pets, and even as working Pokemon, or special service Pokemon that even help them in their daily lives.
Lastly, there are special elite trainers called Gym Masters. Gym Masters are a special kind of Trainer who has earned the right to own a Gym of their own, or even become Traveling Gym Masters. A type of Gym Master that travels around the world of Mobius, using what mother nature gives them as their Gym. They also have the right to capture and own very special Pokemon known as Legendary and Mythical Pokemon. Pokemon are so rare they're only described within stories of old. But many people have seen or ran across said Pokemon and have even tried to capture them in devices called. Poke Balls. At times even a normal Trainer can even capture them and learn to bond with them. Today we start our journey deep in space where something is stirring up on the Space Colony ARK...
QUICKLY! THEY WENT THIS WAY!
I SAW THEM GO THE OTHER WAY!
TEAM A, TAKE THE RIGHT! HEAD TO THE LABS AND CONTAINMENT SECTION OF THE ARK. TEAM B, YOU'RE WITH ME, WILL HEAD TO THE LOADING DOCKS! TEAM C, HEAD BACK THE WAY WE CAME AND GO PROTECT THE PROFESSOR, AND DON'T LET ANY MORE POKEMON ESCAPE! HURRY NOW!
Three teams of Defector G.U.N soldiers split up and head their designated ways. Team A manages to make it to the labs and containment section of ARK, but as they round the corner they see a bunch of Pokemon on the loose and running around creating chaos. Growling out, the leader of the team throws a Poke ball and in a flash of light, a strange color Tyranitar comes out roaring.
TYRANITAR USE DARK PULSE AND STOP THEM FROM ESCAPING!
Roaring out, it powers up its dark pulse but before it could shoot it off a purple light surrounds it. Its mouth is forced shut and the attack stopped.
What the hell?!
"I think that is quite enough of that. I will not allow you to harm these innocent Pokemon no more."
The one leading growls out and throws out an order.
GO NOW! STOP WHOEVER THAT IS NOW, AND CAPTURE THOSE POKEMON NOW! DON'T LET A SINGLE ONE GO!
The Defector G.U.N soldiers throw out their Poke balls and several kinds of Pokemon come out in a flash of light. They all yell out the attacks they wanted to use, but as they start to power up, the Tyranitar is thrown at them, and they are sent flying into the wall. The Pokemon who were running around stop and look on as they look to where the Tyranitar was thrown. Footsteps could be heard as something walked forth from the chaos. It remains in the shadows and only a silhouette could be seen.
"I told you I would not allow you to harm these innocent Pokemon."
Growling out, the leader yells out once more.
STOP LAYING AROUND YOU USELESS POKEMON AND GET UP AND ATTACK NOW!
The Pokemon who were still on the ground, get up and growling out attack the silhouette. It holds up a hand in front of it and a powerful Reflect forms from wall to wall to protect it and the other Pokemon. The attacks hit it as smoke covers the hallway. For a brief moment, everything is quiet. The smoke clears and the silhouette could be seen standing without a scratch on it, the same with the frightened Pokemon behind it.
"What a bore. Is that the best you got? Let me try now."
With a grunt, it throws its other arm up in the air as electricity forms around its hand and forms a ball in it.
"ELECTRO BALL!"
The silhouette throws the Electro Ball forward and it heads right for the Defector G.U.N soldiers and their Pokemon. They try to run away but the attack hits them dead on shocking them, causing paralysis. The Defector G.U.N soldiers and their Pokemon groan out as they hit the floor fully knocked out.
"Pathetic. Think again when you wish to try and take me on. For no one can withstand my powers."
LANCE! LANCE WERE ARE YOU!
The silhouette looks behind him and turns around slightly. Someone comes around the corner and skids to a stop. He was panting hard as shouts could be heard. He looks over his shoulder and grits his teeth as he could hear more Defector G.U.N soldiers coming his way.
LANCE COME ON! WE DON'T HAVE ANY MORE TIME TO MESS AROUND! DID YOU MANAGE TO RESCUE THE OTHER POKEMON TRAPPED HERE?!
"Yes, I did. But what took you so long?"
Sorry, I had to make a stop when I found this little guy.
The guy holds up a Pokemon that looks like some sort of canine type Pokemon. It was small in size and was white with light blue marks on it. It was out cold in his arms and looked in bad shape.
"Is that him then?"
Yeah, I think so. But right now we HAVE to go. The rest of the Defector G.U.N soldiers are right behind me. Do you think you can teleport us out of here and back home? Maybe near a Pokemon reserve for the rest where they will be protected?
"Yes, I can do that. Everyone gather around close. I know just the place."
The guy stands closest to his Pokemon friend and holds the passed-out Pokemon in his arms as the rest gather close to them. Shouting could be heard as gunshots started going off. Around the corner came five nasty mean-looking Pokemon. They come to a stop and growl out awaiting orders. Purplish light surrounds them all as Lance closes his eyes.
HURRY LANCE! DO IT NOW!
With a grunt, Lance's eyes snap open, and at the same time the attacks were being yelled out, everyone vanishes in a flash of white light, as the attack of the Pokemon misses them by a long shot as smoke fills the hallway. After a moment it cleared as footsteps sounded behind everyone. They all look behind themselves and see a black hair man walking up to them with his hands behind his back. He had on a black long sleeve shirt, with a white lab coat and blue jeans on. His shoes make a tapping sound on the cold metal floors. His glasses shine in the sickly yellow light as he brings a hand up to a rather interesting mustache and strokes it chuckling out.
DR. EGGMAN JR. SIR! THEY GOT AWAY!
No matter. No matter. It was bound to happen sooner or later. So why not sooner, rather than later?
Eggman Jr chuckles out smiling.
It is only a matter of time before I regain what is rightfully mine, and when I have it back I shall start working on taking over the world as planned. OH OH OH HAHAHAHA HAAAAAAA!
Pokemon reserve Angel Island… 400 am hours... Same day...
An alarm goes off with a shrill beeping sound as a girl of 17 rolls over and pulls the covers back over her refusing to get up. The sun was just starting to shine through the window, as the curtains blew gently in the early morning air of a warm spring day. The one next to her sits up and stretches out and looks over at her chuckling. He was 19 years old. He reaches over her and shuts the alarm off. He pulls the blankets partway down and kisses her forehead, making her grump out.
Nooooo….sleepy...sleep….
He chuckles again and pulls the blanket even more revealing a soft purple and teal-colored head, attached to a milk chocolate-colored Lyox.
Knuuuuukies...nooooo….
Come on now babe, it's time to get up and start the day. Remember today is the day.
No cares….sleepy...sleep…
OK, OK…. So you wanna be like that huh? Well, I think I can help wake you up.
Wha?….
Before she knew it, Knuckles goes and grabs ahold of the blankets and throws them off her. She turns her head at him and looks at him with a half-asleep annoyed look.
KNUCKLES!?
He chuckles out and straddles her and leans down and kisses her. He slowly brings his hands up her side as he starts to rub at them.
She breaks the kiss and gaps out as she holds his wrist.
K-K-Knukies….oh….stoooop….
The girl clenches her teeth and shuts her eyes closed tight.
Not till you get up my little chocolate bell. Otherwise, I'm gonna keep at it till you do get up.
She clenches her teeth and closes her eyes trying her best not to give into him, but he could tell she was failing.
Come on now. I see you trying to smile.
Nooooo…
Knukies...nooooo…
He keeps going at it till he hits the right spot, making her seize up and hold her breath. Seeing how he had his girlfriend where he wanted her. He sets about moving his fingers.
Tickle tickle!
NO...NO...NOOOO… PFFT...NO….HAHAHAHA…. S-S-STOP IT...Y-Y-YOU...MONSTER! OH HA HA HA HA….
NOT TILL YOU GET UP!
Knuckles chuckles out as he keeps tickling his girlfriend.
K-K-KNUCKLES….IF YOU...OH, HE HE HE HE HAHAHA….DOING THAT...IMMA...IMMA...STOOOOP KNUUUUUUCKLES!
He keeps at it till she is squirming around trying to break free. He leans down to kiss her and she takes her chance and wraps her arms around him and with a swift movement, she manages to roll over the bigger stronger male and straddles him taking him by surprise. They break the kiss as she looks down at him with her hands on his chest. She pants out a moment longer and leans down to kiss his nose giggling.
I HATE it when you do that to me.
Then get up and I won't have to resort to doing it.
Pffft… as if.
He chuckles out as she sits on him and stretches out. She arches her back showing off her lithe athletic body, her chest poking out as she does. Knuckles chuckles out smiling at her as the sunlight flows through the window hitting her silky soft fur.
What's so funny?
She looks at him with an open eye.
Just wondering how I ended up with such an amazing, wonderful, beautiful girl in my life.
She giggles and smiles at him. Relaxing.
Thank you Knukies.
Anytime my love.
He chuckles and sits up with her in his lap and holds her, kissing her forehead.
So are you ready for this?
Yeah. But what time is it?
Knuckles looks over at the clock and it reads ten after five.
It's ten after five in the morning.
WHAT!? WHAT THE FUCKING HELL!? WHOSE IDEA WAS IT TO SET THE FUCKING ALARM CLOCK THAT EARLY!?
Knuckles laugh out as she looks at him annoyed.
I see nothing funny about this. I'm not joking either. Why did you go and set the fucking alarm so early!?
I-I-I'm sorry babe. But….hahahaha... you're the one that set it that early!
Wha?
She looks at him surprised and confused. He sees the look and sighs out.
You were so excited yesterday about today, you went and said we HAD to start at four in the morning.
AND YOU LET ME!?
She throws up her arms annoyed at him. It only makes him laugh more.
Yes, only because I tried to set it for at least 9 am, but when you saw it you glared at me and said 4 am. So I had no choice because you "THREATEN" me, saying if we didn't start the day early you would make sure I would regret it the first whole week we started our journey.
She looks at him with a deadpan look. For a short time, she doesn't say anything. He was about to ask if she was alright when she reached over and took hold of one of her smaller pillows and hit him with it.
WHY. DIDN'T. YOU. CHANGE. IT. BACK. WHEN. I. WAS. PASSED. OUT. YOU. MORON!
He laughs out loud as he takes hold of her wrists and kisses her.
Because I wanted to see your reaction when you realized everything.
She gives him a cute pouting look and looks away, the pillow falls from her hand as she folds her arms in a huff.
Hey, come on now. Don't be like that Bella. You know I love seeing you get like this. I think it's cute.
She looks at him and after a moment she sighs out and scratches at her right cheek looking guilty.
I guess...I did get...little over-excited...huh?
She giggles sheepishly.
A LITTLE? That's an UNDERSTATEMENT babe.
She giggles out, letting it out as a sigh.
Yeah, I guess you're right. So….can we go back to sleep for a bit longer? Please?
Knuckles chuckles out as he reaches over for the clock and sets a new time on it. This time setting it for 10 am.
There how does an extra six hours extra hours sound?
Perfect.
She tells him as he sets the clock down. She gets off him and stretches out one last time till she feels his hands come around her as he leans down and kisses her neck. She looks over her shoulder at him smiling.
What are you doing?
I figured we could have some fun before going back to sleep.
He reaches up fondles one of her DD-sized breasts and reaches down with the other to her womanhood and gently rubs through the silk undies she had on that matched her baby doll nightgown top making her gasp and moan out.
K-Knuckles.
Come on we have time….
F-fine...but…
But?
D-do that thing I love so much, and...well... I wanna go all the way, please...I'm ready.
Knuckles stops what he was doing and looks at her. She looks back at him and smiles. She turns around and kisses him as she removes her baby doll top and tosses it down the floor and reaches down for her panties and does the same thing again.
Are you sure? This will be your first time you know?
We've been going out for a year and a half now, and I finally trust you enough to do this. I WANT to do this with you Knuckles. So please? I'm ready.
Smiling, he kisses her and lays her down on the bed.
Alright, Bella.
Three hours later…
As Bella was stepping out of the shower, she was stilled sore from hers and Knuckles little early morning fun, but after her shower, she felt great. Today was the big day. They had originally wanted to start early but things didn't go as planned, but it was still early enough they had time to finish packing up what they would need for their journey.
Bella, are you ready yet?
Almost baby. I'm just now getting dressed.
Knuckles walks into their room smiling. He had on a brown vest with no shirt on underneath revealing his strong-toned and chiseled chest. He had a pair of cargo khaki shorts on with a brown leather belt, that had a diamond shape belt charm on it. He wore a pair of dark brown, and tan boots with white socks slightly peeking out, that had steel plated on the top of them. The straps and buckles to them came to close on the inside of them. His gloves were brown fingerless gloves that had special steel-plated knuckle covers on them that fit snugly around his knuckles. They could be stretched out to fit on his knuckles without any problems. They were super strong and durable. Around his head, he had a bandanna tied around and under his bright red dreadlocks. Around his neck was a necklace with a Poke ball hanging from it.
Well, come on. We don't have all day you know?
I know, but I can't decide on what to wear. Not to say my hair is gonna take a bit, and my makeup.
Bella.
He chuckles out as he walks over to her and pulls her close, kissing her.
You'll look good in anything.
I know, but this is THE day Knuckles.
I know. Hey how about that pink tube top I love so much and the purple and black plaid skirt, with your leather vest jacket?
YES! That's perfect, and I can wear my new shoes I just got, and...and I'll do my hair up in a half-braid ponytail with my favorite bandanna you got me last week!
Pikie pike?
Both Knuckles and Bella look over to see a Pikipek on their window seal looking in. Bella chuckles out and goes over to it and holds out her arm for it to hop onto. She giggles out and rubs its bright white chest and he coos out.
Good morning my little friend. So how are things so far? Anything going on we should know about?
Pikie Pikie Pek!
A strange man you say?
Pikie pikie pikie piepie pek pek!
Pokemon you have never seen before, running from him?
Pikipek pek piki piki!
The Pikipek starts chirping out as Bella listens to him. Knuckles watches her as her expression changes from a happy one, to a worried one.
Bella?
Bella always had a knack for understanding Pokemon's language, as did Knuckles but to an extent.
Alright, thank you for telling me. I'll send Knuckles out now, lead him to where you last saw them alright. I'll be right behind the both of you on Mira.
PIKIE PIKIE!
It cries out and flies back out the window. Bella looks to Knuckles and nods to him. He nods back and hurries downstairs and out of their home. Bella watches them from the window and hurries to get dressed. Once she is ready, she runs downstairs and runs outside taking hold of the Pokeball that was on her necklace and hits the button, and throws it yelling out.
MIRA COME OUT NOW I NEED YOU!
In a bright flash of white light, a Suicune comes out roaring out.
CUUUUUN!
QUICKLY MIRA, USE EXTREME SPEED AND HEAD TO THE SHINE AT ONCE! AND DON'T SLOW DOWN! KNUCKLES IS ALREADY THEIR!
CUNE!
Bella puts Mira's poke ball back on her necklace and she hops on Mira who at once runs off and heads for the Shrine. It takes them only fifteen minutes, where it normally would take them an hour on foot to get there, and they slow down as they see Knuckles in a battle with a Black hedgehog.
USE FLAMETHROWER NOW!
A brown colored Pokemon, with a cream-colored chest, gray paws, gray chest plate, and wing-like appendages, a cloud-like mane, and a red, yellow, and gray mask, that had fierce red-orange eyes and black bands around its legs roars out and jumps into the air reading a Flamethrower at its opponent. Its opponent was a Shiny colored Umbreon. It jumps out of the way in time as the black hedgehog calls out an attack back.
SHADE, USE DARK PULSE NOW!
UMMMBRRREON!
The Umbreon stands its ground and shoots a powerful Dark Pulse at Knuckles partner. It hits it dead on sending the big brown Pokemon scooting back.
FARLOW, ARE YOU ALRIGHT?!
TEI!
MIRA USE WATER PULSE NOW!
CUUUUUN!
Mira jumps up into the air and powers up and shoots out a Water Pulse and sends it at the Umbreon and sends it flying back. Mira lands next to her counterpart and looks at it.
Farlow, you sure your alright big guy?
"Yes, Bella I am. That was nothing more than a tickle."
Alright, then.
Shade are you alright?!
The black hedgehog runs over to his Umbreon and kneels next to it, to make sure it was alright.
Bre, breon, Umbreon eon bre!
(Yeah, I'm alright but what a move that was. Took me off guard.)
Bella jumps off Mira's back and walks up in front of them both as Knuckles comes around to join her and stand next to her.
Alright, asshole, who are you, and what are you doing on our Island home? No one is allowed up here unless we give the authorization. This is the Angel Island Pokemon Reserve. The only ones allowed on this floating Island are the people already living here, the Pokemon already living here, and us. The leaders of the Island. So start talking, before we're forced to make you leave!
The black hedgehog growls out and slowly stands up and holds out a Poke ball.
Shade come back for now and rest.
Umbreon.
A red beam shoots out as Shade returns to his Poke Ball. He puts it away and grabs another and hits the button on it and tosses it calling out.
COME OUT AND AID ME!
In a bright flash, another Pokemon enters the fray. It was a tall cat-like Pokemon. It was soft gray with a light purple belly and tail, with purple eyes. It had three fingers on its hands and two toes on its feet. It was 6'07" tall, a foot smaller than Knuckles was, and just a few inches taller than her.
L-Lance?!
Knuckles looks over at Bella and stands closer to her.
Bella, what's wrong?
I...I know that Mewtwo.
You do?!
Knuckles looks between her and the Pokemon before her surprised.
That should answer your question on who I am...Eris….
The guy chuckles out as he looks at her through half-lidded eyes as he cocks a smile. Bella looks at him as he uses his arm and rubs at his face, revealing a pair of red markings around his eyes.
I-it can't be?! N-No...
Bella looks at the Black Hedgehog as he chuckles.
Bella?
Knuckles looks at her worried as she takes on a defensive stance as she holds her ground. Mira growls out as she takes a couple of steps forward ready to fight.
YOU!? WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING BACK!? YOU TRAITOR!
Bella, who was that?
Knuckles walks over to her worried.
He's nothing but a worthless back-stabbing traitor. Someone who hurt me long ago. Who LIED to me. Who took him from me. My best friend and partner.
Bella closes her eyes and turns away as her ears fall back. She places her hands on Mira's side letting out a shaky breath.
Bella, my love?
Knuckles places a hand on her back and she turns to him and buries her face into his chest. He was taken back by this but goes to wrap his arms around her and holds her as she cries.
The black hedgehog takes a couple of steps towards them speaking softly.
Now I know you're mad at me Eris, but I can explain. If you give me a chance.
Bella looks up, furry in her eyes as tears fall as she yells out.
Explain? EXPLAIN?!
She pushes Knuckles away from her as she takes a couple of steps yelling at the Black Hedgehog.
WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD I WANT AN EXPLANATION FROM YOU OF ALL PEOPLE ON MOBIUS?! WHEN ALL YOU DID WAS LIE TO ME! HURT ME! USE ME! I WAS IN A VERY DARK PLACE AFTER YOU LEFT ME, AND STOLE LANCE FROM YOU BASTARD, AND NOW YOU HAVE THE FUCKING BALLS TO SHOW UP OUT OF THE BLUE NEARLY SEVEN YEARS LATER AND THINK I'LL JUST UP AND LET YOU EXPLAIN YOURSELF TO ME?! LIKE IT WAS NOTHING!?
Eris, please. Let me explain what happened.
Growling out, she yells out to Farlow as she thrust out her hand.
FARLOW, USE FIRE BLAST ON THE TRAITOR NOW, AND SEND HIM FLYING OFF OUR ISLAND HOME!
Farlow looks at Mira who nods at him, he looks to Knuckles who nods as well.
The black hedgehog holds his arms up waving them in front of his face as Farlow readies a Fire Blast.
No...wait! ERIS PLEASE! I REALLY CAN EXPLAIN EVERYTHING!
Farlow shoots out his Fire Blast as the black Hedgehog looks around for a way. But by the time he found one, it was too late. The Fire Blast hits him dead on and explodes, sending him flying back. As he is sent flying back, a black, red, and gold Poke Ball falls out of his coat pocket and rolls over to Bella. She picks it up with a huff as she goes and turns her back and walks off a bit, holding the Luxury Ball close.
Knuckles looked between her, and the hedgehog Farlow attacked and had sent flying. Wondering what was going on. As if hearing him, Mira speaks.
"That hedgehog that is named Shadow. He hurt Bella badly about seven years ago. It was something she, nor I, will never forget. It's because of him, that she was in a dark place for a long time, till about a year and a half ago when you came along Knuckles and helped her."
Knuckles looks to Mira, who keeps watching Shadow not once taking her eyes off him.
What do you mean Mira? Hurt her how?
"In short, he left her in the dead of night, taking HIS Ball with him. The very ball she holds now is the very same ball he proclaimed his love for her, saying he would always be there for her. He had caught Lance with a normal Poke ball at the time. But when Bella first met Lance she was in awe of him. Lance took a liking to her right away. Finding her curiosity cute. When Shadow saw how much she loved Lance, and how Lance cared for her, he went to the Pokemon Center and he bought a Luxury Ball for Lance.
Shadow and Bella had been friends for years. He was eleven and she ten, when it all started to happen. Shadow, on the night of her birthday, presented the Luxury ball to her, along with Lance. Saying that he loved her and wanted to be next to her always, asking if she would go out with him. Naturally, she said. It made her so happy, she was going through a hard time back then. So hearing him saying that made her so happy. So together they raised Lance. Then, a month later just after he told her he loved her and wanted to be with her, a strong storm hit, and Shadow leaves in the dead of night, taking Lance with him. When Eris woke up in the middle of the night scared, she went to get Lance and bring him to bed, only to find both Shadow and Lance gone. Panicking, she runs out into the storm realizing what happened."
That's the same night you and her met, isn't it Mira?
"Yes. She had fallen into a raging river and nearly drowned. I rescued her and brought her to my cave, where she stayed with me till morning when someone found her. For the next two years after that, she changed. She was 13 then. She would come and visit me every chance she got. But she had become cold towards people. Men especially. That was till a certain red Echidna showed up when she turned 15 and saved hers and my life after being attacked by some wild Pokemon, and showed her that not all men are assholes like Shadow. Though it did take six months for her to trust you. But six months later and you two got close and started going out with one another and here we are. I will admit some of those times were pretty funny."
Mira laughs out and Knuckles rolls his eyes.
Laugh up you.
"But jokes aside Knuckles. If it wasn't for you, I have a feeling she wouldn't be standing here today, and in your arms where she truly belongs."
Knuckles smiles as he looks over his shoulder and sees Shadow was finally up and brushes himself off. Growling out, he walks over to Bella and he kisses the top of her head and whispers something in her ear and she nods as he walks a few steps in front of Mira. Farlow follows him and takes a battle-ready stance. Knuckles crack his knuckles and growls out.
Alright you, I'm only giving you one chance to leave right now before I make you leave.
Listen red, I came here for a reason and I need to speak with Eris.
FORGET IT! I WON'T ALLOW YOU TO HURT HER ANYMORE! JUST LEAVE NOW WHY YOU CAN, BEFORE I MAKE YOU LEAVE!
Listen you, you don't understand, I just came from…
HYPER BEAM NOW FARLOW!
Roaring out, Farlow powers up and shoots off his Hyper Beam at Shadow. Shadow manages to jump out of the way in time and skids to a halt on his hands and feet.
LANCE I COULD USE YOUR HELP NOW!
"Sorry, but no Poke Ball, no battle. Eris now has my ball, and I now follow her. So unless she orders me to fight I will not."
Lance stands there unmoving. As Bella stands near Mira crying till she speaks in a whisper.
No…you're his Pokemon Lance. He caught...you long before...he gave you to me...in truth...and reality...you've always belonged...to that...traitor...so do as you wish… fight for him...if you wish...I don't care.
Lance looks between her, Knuckles, and Shadow. Knuckles looked mad about what he had heard. Shadow didn't look too happy either. But if anything, he was worried for Bella.
"Eris...I.."
JUST DO IT LANCE! YOU'RE HIS STUPID POKEMON, NOT MINE! YOU WERE NEVER MINE FROM THE START! HE ONLY MADE ME BELIEVE YOU WERE TO MAKE ME HAPPY BECAUSE I HAD LOST EVERYTHING! HE LIED TO ME! YOU BOTH DID! YOUR BOTH TRAITORS! DO YOU HEAR ME! TRAITORS! HYDRO CANNON NOW!
Without questioning Bella. Mira runs at Lance and launches a Hydro Cannon at him. He jumps out of the way and lands on his feet a few feet back. He looks at Bella as she turns around, and the anger, hurt, and betrayal in her eyes said it all. Sighing out as he looks away, just as hurt, he takes a fighting stance and readies himself for Mira's next attack.
"If...If that is your wish. Then so be it. But know, I always thought of you as my real trainer Eris. Not him. My loyalties lay with you, not him. But if this is truly what you wish then I have no choice but to follow your orders. Shadow…"
Bella looks up fast and over at him. Hearing his words hurt her deeply, and at once she regretted what she said as she watched on.
IT'S ABOUT DAMN FUCKING TIME, LANCE! NOW USE PSYCHO CUT!
Jumping up, Lance uses Psycho Cut and aims it at Mira who jumps out of the way in time. Knuckles calls out for a Fire Blast and Farlow sends one at Lance. All Bella could do was watch the battle unfold before her. Mira dodges another attack awaiting an order from her. But Bella couldn't think. Not after what Lance has said to her just now. Not after what she called him.
"Bella snap out of it! I need your help! Knuckles do something please!"
Growling out, he throws out an arm and yells out.
WATER PULSE NOW MIRA! FARLOW, FLAME CHARGE GO!
Both Farlow and Mira unleash their attacks as Bella watches on. Knuckles runs over to Bella as she starts to fall to the ground and helps her down as he shakes her gently to try and snap her out of it
Bella? Bella, my love. Please baby you need to snap out of it. Mira needs your help out there. We do as well.
I...he….Lance….he…
All Bella could do was watch on, as the battle rages on. Growling out Knuckles stands up leaving her where she was. Was and calls out two more moves.
MIRA WATER PULSE! FARLOW HYPER BEAM NOW!
LANCE, RECOVER, THEN FOLLOW IT UP WITH ENERGY BALL!
Lance dodges out of the way in time, and he uses Recover and then Energy Ball. It hits Mira dead on sending her flying back into Farlow, knocking them both across the way and into the shrine. Growling out he yells out again another set of attacks. Bella watches on when something catches her eye.
"Mama? Mama where are you?"
Everyone's eyes widen in shock as the strange Pokemon cries out again as it walks around looking for its mother.
NO, WATCH OUT! GET OUT OF THE WAY NOW!
Shadow yells out as the baby Pokemon walks right into the line of fire. Unable to stop their attacks, they are fired off and sent right for the baby Pokemon. Bella finally snaps out of it and runs right into the line of fire to intercept the attacks. Knuckles catches this and yells out.
BELLA! NOOOOOOOOOO!
ERRRRIIIIIS! NOOOOOOOOOO!
All three attacks hit dead on as an explosion goes off and sends her flying. She hits the ground hard and goes rolling over and over again, till she hits a bolder and stops. Everyone goes running to her calling out to her.
BELLA!
ERIS!
As they near her they see she was not moving. Her outfit was torn to shreds, and she had deep cuts on her, but in her arms was the baby Pokemon. Safe, and only slightly unharmed.
"Is...is she…?"
Knuckles kneels and places two fingers on her neck as everyone holds their breath. After what seemed like a lifetime he nods.
She's fine, Mira, only knocked out cold.
"What of the child?"
It looks fine as well Mira. A bit beat up, but it could have been worse had she not came out of it and saved it. But what sort of Pokemon IS IT!? I never seen anything like it before?
Knuckles looks to Shadow who closes his eyes and rubs his temples and places a hand on his hip.
It's what I was trying to tell you both before. The reason why we're here. We need Eris' help. We didn't come here to hurt her, or the Pokemon on this floating Island. In fact, we came with a bunch of them from Space Colony ARK.
WHAT!?
Knuckles stands up as he, Mira, and Farlow look at him in shock.
"It's the truth. We found out about Pokemon being taken and experimented on up there. Not to say the rumors going around about an unknown breed of Pokemon that Ivan Robotnik Jr., got a hold of and was doing unimaginable things to it."
You mean the very Pokemon Bella just risked her life for?
Knuckles looks at Lance shocked.
"Yes. If you would allow us some time, we can explain everything. Right now Eris and the child need medical attention."
He's right. Will have to continue our battle some other time.
"I agree with them, Knuckles. Bella is in bad shape. The young one would be too if she hadn't gone to save it.
Indeed Mira. For now, why not allow me to carry you all back. Mira, you should rest in your Ball till we get home.
I would but…"
Mira turns her head and everyone follows. Not too far off was not one, but two PokeBalls, shattered to bits. Bits of white, red, black, and gold laid about.
That's not good.
No, it's not.
Shadow folds his arms looking at Lance and scoffs.
Well, it looks like you finally got your wish, Lance.
"Indeed…"
It was all he said as he looked between him and Bella. With a sigh, he holds up his arm and closes his three fingers as a purple aura surrounds Eris and the baby Pokemon. He lifts them up and starts to fly up off the ground a bit.
"Where are we going? I'll take them there myself."
Nodding out, Knuckles walks over to Farlow and places a hand on his side, and jumps upon him.
Follow me, I'll lead you to our home. If you like hedgehog, you may ride Mira if she is alright with it?
"If he wishes, I'll allow him to ride me back home."
I have a name you know?
Alright, what is it?
Shadow. Shadow The Hedgehog, and you are?
Knuckles. Knuckles the Echidna, and boyfriend to Bella. Now that is out of the way let's go.
Scoffing out, Shadow walks over to Mira and jumps onto her back. She looks at him and he nods at her. Nodding back they follow Knuckles home.
Back at Knuckles and Eris home, and an hour and loads of questions later...1230 am…
And that's everything.
So you're telling me that you found out secret information about Ivan and what he has been up to of late, and you took it upon yourself to try and find out more. Pretty much going rogue and disobeying orders from your higher-ups to do this when they said they had it under control. But when you got there you found Pokemon who were being experimented on and rescued them. During it all you also found Ivan working on another Pokemon. Possible a new type and breed of Pokemon. The very same Pokemon that Bella just risked her life for just a bit ago.
Yes.
Do you know how crazy that sounds?
"Told you he would find it crazy"
Lance stands there with his arms fold as he glances over at Shadow.
Shut it, Lance. Listen I know it sounds crazy but it's the truth. Lance even showed you everything.
Yeah, and I still can't believe it. So how does MY girlfriend fit into all of this? No, no, no...wait...forget it. I don't want her mixed into it, you, or whatever is going on. I want you off my Island now and far away from her as possible. I won't have you hurting her again. Mira told me what happened. Who you are and what you did to her. As for the Baby Pokemon. Will keep it here, and with us. Safe.
Listen, Knuckles. I know what I did in the past was wrong, and I regret it ever since it happened…
Yeah right. If you regretted it as you say then why show up now? How did you even know she was here?
To be honest, I didn't know she was up here, or with you for that matter, not till she showed up out of the blue.
You do know she's going to want to kill you when she wakes up, right?
Yeah, I know, and I don't blame her.
So is what Mira told me the truth about the two of you? You and Eris? That you left her in the dead of night and took her Pokemon...Lance was it?
"Yes, that is the name she gave me when we became close."
Lance looks his way and tells him. His arms folded.
Yes...everything is true.
Knuckles stands up and cracks his knuckles as he walks over to Shadow and grabs a hold of his shirt. Shadow grunts out as Knuckles takes hold of him and pulls back his fist ready to punch him.
Then I'm going to enjoy this all too much. That's if you have any objections?
Knuckles glances over at Lance who in turn jesters with a hand go right on ahead. Knuckles gives a grunt and a nod and gets ready to hit him when someone makes a sound.
Knukies...don't….please… I know you're mad...but...
Everyone looks to where the voice was coming from and sees Bella leaning against the door jam holding herself up. She had tears in her eyes as she looked right at Shadow.
Bella, you should be resting. You're still badly hurt after…
Knuckles starts but she ignores him.
Why?…
It was all she could ask as she looked at him.
Bella…
Knuckles tries again, but again she ignores him.
Eris...I…
Why...Why did you do it? Why did you leave me in the dead of night….alone and scared. When you knew how storms scared me. You know I ran out of the house that night...during the storm. I almost ended up getting KILL because of you. If...if Mira hadn't saved me that night I might not be here right now, and you Lance….why didn't…
"Don't Eris. I didn't know till it was too late."
Lances rest his arms at his side as he walks over to her holding up an arm as he lets his physic powers take over as he shows her what happened after he was taken from her. Images flashed in the room like a movie screen as Lance shows what happened all those years ago.
"That night I knew a storm was coming. But I also knew that Shadow was with you...or so I thought. When we were miles away he called on me. When I saw our surroundings I started to get worried, till I saw him standing behind me. When I asked what was going on he told me he had taken me back and that we left you behind. I asked him why he would do such a thing to you after saying he loved you. He told me it was stupid of him to say such a thing about who and what he was…:
What?
Bella looks at Shadow as Lance goes on.
"When he told me, it angered me greatly. I attacked him over and over again. Furious about how he abandoned you with everything you were going through at the time. I saw how happy it made you when he said he loved you. Then have that very happiness taken from you...I wanted to kill him for lying and hurting you. I would have too if they didn't come and used some kind of shock collar on me and knocked me out.'
They? What are you talking about?
Lance keeps showing her images as he keeps telling her what happened.
"The people Shadow worked for. They saw me as a threat and tried to take me down. But I wouldn't go down without a fight, which I did too. When they managed to knock me out, Shadow called me back. After that, I was forced to travel with him and help him. But I wouldn't listen to him at all. I refused to do so. I didn't trust him anymore, and every chance I got I made SURE he KNEW how much I hated him, by trying to take him down many times.
But those BASTARDS had put some kind of fail-safe on my Poke Ball that would send a near-deadly shock throughout my whole body rendering me helpless. Then one day his boss told me either I start helping him, instead of killing him, and not only would they remove the fail-safe on Poke Ball, but they would think about sending me back to you in a year's time. They said it was that, or the next time I tried to kill Shadow, they would put me down… PERMANENTLY... When Shadow heard this he tried to fight it, saying it was his fault that I was like I was. But they would hear nothing of it. Without much choice, and the thought of one day seeing you again, is what kept me going. What kept me from trying to kill him."
B-but it never happened, did it?
"No it didn't that was till today when you went to save the baby Pokemon from the battle, and the explosion broke my ball."
Bella stands there as everything returns to normal and finally realizes the truth of it all. Knuckles still had a hold of Shadow by his shirt collar and had a fist still in mid-air ready to punch him. They all watch Bella as she looks and Lance for the longest time.
"Eris?"
Bella looks at him crying. He looks back at her waiting for an answer.
I-I'm sorry...for what I said back there…. I didn't mean it….
"I know you didn't. But now I'm free at last, and no longer under their thumb. I wish to rejoin you again Bella. If you allow it?"
Bella looks up at him, then over to Knuckles. He smiles at her and nods. She runs off and down the hallway and after a moment she comes back around the corner yells out.
GO LUXURY BALL!
The Luxury Ball hits Lance and a red light surrounds him and he enters the Luxury Ball and it falls to the floor. She walks over to it and bends down and holds it in her hands as it locks into place. Smiling as she holds the ball up to her cheek she cries.
Welcome home, Lance. I promise to never let anyone take you from me again.
She holds the Luxury Ball out and he comes out in a flash of white light.
Knuckles looks at Shadow and back to her and sighs. He shoves Shadow away and scratches the back of his head sighing out annoyed.
Forget it. You're not worth it. Just so long as Bella is happy that's all that matters.
"If you like, I could teleport him about fifty feet over the ocean for you and let him drown."
Shadow growls at Lance glaring at him. Bella laughs out but winces in pain and holds her side. Knuckles catches this and walks over to her and holds her.
Easy Bells. You really should be resting right now. You took on three powerful attacks when you went to save that baby Pokemon.
Speaking of which, where is it?
Shadow asks her a bit worried.
In the living room asleep still. I came in here to get a bottle for him. He's going to be hungry when he wakes up.
Right. Go back and sit down. I'll call the Professor and let him know we won't be able to come in today. Not with you hurt.
I'll be fine Knuckles. It's just a few bruised ribs. Nothing new.
Shadow looks at her surprised, resting his arms at his side.
You've... had bruised ribs before?
Yeah, bruised ribs, busted ribs, broken bones. You name it. All in the daily life of trying to make sure every Pokemon, and person on Angel Island Reserve is happy. Not to say, the ones people bring us or abandon here as well.
Eris….
Don't even start Shadow. You lost the right years ago. But right now we have a bigger problem to worry about. So till we know more about what is going on, and what we're dealing with, I think it's best we remain neutral and just forget everything. Now if you don't mind I'm going to make a bottle up for that Baby Pokemon, and I'm calling the Professor up. See if he has any idea on what type of Pokemon he could be. By the time I come back down, I want you gone off my our Island. I don't even want to see a trace of you here. If I find you here still…
Bella enough.
Knuckles?
Listen, baby. I know you're not too happy about him being here right now…
Not happy? NOT HAPPY!? I'm furious that he is even HERE Knuckles! I told myself I never wanted to see that jackass ever again, and WHAT DO YOU KNOW?! HE'S RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME! I told myself if I ever saw him again I would KILL him. SO DON'T GO TELLING ME ON HOW I'M NOT HAPPY ABOUT IT ALL! BECAUSE I'M TRYING MY BEST TO HOLD BACK FROM KILLING HIM RIGHT NOW!
He shows up after SEVEN fucking years! SEVEN FUCKING YEARS KNUCKLES! HOW THE HELL AM I to react to that after all this time? TELL ME HOW I'M TO REACT KNUCKLES!? You don't know the pain I went through. THE SUFFERING I HAD TO ENDURE ALONE WHEN I WAS FORGOTTEN! WHEN MY FAMILY WAS FALLING APART AND I WAS LITERALLY FORGOTTEN ABOUT AS IT DID! CRUMBLING INTO NOTHING!.. He was there. He saw it all... He told me he loved me….and...AND FOR WHAT KNUCKLES!? ALL FOR WHAT!? TO HAVE IT TAKEN FROM ME?! IN A MATTER OF ONLY THREE DAYS AFTER HE CONFESSED HIS LOVE TO ME! He took Lance away from me. The only other thing that kept me whole. Kept me sane besides him….and now...now you wish for me to mellow out...to just accept him…
Bella stands there panting, having said so much in one go. Tears of anger, sorrow, regret, fell from her eyes as she looked at him. Lance and Shadow watch on as they stand back.
No that's not it at all Bella. It isn't what I meant.
Then what DID you mean Knuckles?
I just think, for now, maybe we should let him stay. At least for the night is all. Let him rest up. Let him heal his Pokemon up and then we send him on his way.
Your...your siding WITH HIM!?
WHA!? NO! I'm not siding with him I promise. Bella, please calm down. Listen I'm not siding with him. Just right now…
Without warning, Bella slaps him across the face taking him and everyone in the room by surprise. For a moment no one moves or dares to speak. Bella and Knuckles hold their gaze as he could see something flash in her eyes he hadn't seen in a couple of years now.
How COULD you Knukies?!
He doesn't say anything. Still in shock at what she did to him. Sure the slap stung. But what hurt the most was the fact she had raised a hand to him to start with. Something she hadn't done since the day they first met and he had scared her. After a few more minutes, the realization finally hits her and she gaps out, taking a step back. She holds herself and looks away scared. He starts to lift a hand up to her, to comfort her, but she takes a couple of steps back scared of him. Shaking, she moves around him and runs out of the room crying. Stopping to pick up the baby Pokemon and head to hers and Knuckles room.
I hope you're happy with yourself Shadow. This was to have been a special day for her you know? The day she became a trainer, started her journey, and you showing up ruined it. It ruined everything. So I hope you're PROUD of yourself for doing that. You best hope I don't lose her because of this. Because if I do, I'll hunt you down till the ends of Mobius and take you out. Now. Get off our island now and don't EVER show yourself again, and I find out you sent any of those G.U.N people up here, you will be sorry. You got till sundown today to be out of here otherwise, I'll throw you off my Island myself.
Knuckles growls out as he clenches a fits and throws his arm down as he leaves the room. Leaving both Lance and Shadow alone. Sighing out, Lance looks over at Shadow who stood dumbfounded and shakes his head. He sets about to make a bottle for the baby Pokemon and takes it upstairs to find Bella, leaving Shadow alone. With nothing else to do, Shadow gets up and leaves the house without a word.
Southern Shore city research Lab…. 1300 hours…
And that is everything Professor Kukui. So any ideas?
No not a clue, Knuckles. I got the images you sent me and yet I got nothing. It could be that it is a new species of Pokemon? Maybe even Man-made?
MAN-MADE?!
Yes. But it is only, in theory, nothing more. But yet still possible.
I see. So what do we do now?
Is there any way you could bring him by the lab tomorrow when you come?
Yeah, I don't think there should be a problem with that. Again, I'm sorry that we couldn't come by today, we wanted to. To surprise her with her gift.
Hey, no worries Knuckles. Your starter Pokemon will still be here when you come on by. Both yours and Bella's. Till then rest up.
Alright. Thank you, Professor.
With that, they end the call. Kukui rubs his chin as he looks over the images once again. Kukui was a tall slender dark brown Mobian Cat with a white front. He had black hair he kept in a low bun and a black goatee. Gray, green and black shorts on, green shoes, a white lab coat on with no shirt on, and a pair of green glasses. As he looks over the images once more someone comes over to him.
A new Pokemon species?
A woman's voice chimes in as she comes over and kisses his cheek making him chuckle softly and smile.
Perhaps yes? But I'm still unsure at this point. Bella and Knuckles are going to bring it by tomorrow when they come.
They're not coming today?
No, she got hit by three powerful attacks saving the baby Pokemon. She's alright but Knuckles wishes for her to rest for now.
I see. Well so long as she is here before her birthday, I see no harm in that. I don't mind watching over her birthday gift from Knuckles a bit longer.
She looks over at a snow-white Pokemon, with pink markings, playing with Kukui's wife's Munchlax, and a couple of other Pokemon.
Vulpix.
Vulpix?
Kukui's wife kneels and smiles at the Vulpix as it walks over to her, and she gently pets it.
Hey there, your new trainer will be here tomorrow how about that? She couldn't come today but she will be here tomorrow.
VUUULPIX!
The Vulpix jumps up and down excited. Kukui comes over laughing as his wife stands back up.
So what now?
Now we get things ready, and I call Professor Oak and Rowan and see what they think.
I'll check the archives to see if I can find anything of help. I'm sure we can find something.
Right.
With that, they set about trying to find something of help.
Nine hours later…On the other side of Lake Nessie…
"Are you sure about this Bella?"
No, I'm not. But I can't stay here right now.
'He'll be worried sick about you though. If you do this... You'll be doing the very same thing as Shadow did to you nearly seven years ago. Do you really want to do that to him? After everything, you two have been through?"
Listen, Mira. You wouldn't understand. You weren't there when I raised my hand to him. Accused him of siding with Shadow. I just...I need…
Bella was on the back of her Suicune Mira. They were near Lake Nessie as a cool night wind blew across the meadows. As they talk she turns around and looks back from where they came from. She sighs out as tears fill her eyes and fall as a gust of wind blows them away in the night. Looking up at the clear night skies she could see the stars looking down on her as she thought things over once more. Of what happened that day. A HootHoot calls out into the night as a few Zubats fly across the sky among a few other kinds of nighttime Pokemon.
"Bella?"
Come on let's go. We're already halfway there. So may as well keep going.
"But Bella!?"
Sighing out, Bella dismounts Mira, and takes hold of the basket and pulls it down along with her backpack, and sets them down on the ground. She walks over to the front of Mira and holds up her hands. She leans her head down as she and Bella bring their foreheads together in a quiet moment. Tears fall from her eyes as Mira purrs out sadly.
"He won't forgive you, you know? You mean more to him than anything on Mobius, and you doing this...it'll break him. He loves you deeply Bella. So please, just get back on, and let's go home. Don't do the same thing that Shadow did to you all those years ago. What happened today...I know it was a misunderstanding. So please Bella."
I know you're right Mira. That it was a misunderstanding. But I can't go back. Right now this is something I feel I have to do. Maybe he won't forgive me for leaving him like this. Without so much as a good by. But I know he will one day. Next time we meet up. If anything he is the whole reason why I'm doing this.
"What do you mean?"
I love him, Mira. He is the one for me I know. It's because of that I'm leaving. I need to know for sure how much he truly loves me. I need to make sure he's not like Shadow. You can not blame me for this after what Shadow did to me all those years ago. I will admit this past year and a half have been the best time of my life. I'll cherish them always. But right now I need to do this. I can't look at him right now, not after what I did to him today. After what he has done for me over this past year and a half. I feel like I betrayed him. I know I hurt him and I just don't have the heart to tell him. So I have to do this. Besides, we need to know more about this Pokemon. The sooner the better. I don't know why but I get the feeling it wasn't mere chance me and Shadow ran into one another again after all these years, but fate.
"Fate? What do you mean? You can't really be thinking about forgiving him are you?!"
No, I can't forgive him for what he did to me. I never will. But right now what is more important? The feud between us or this Pokemon? I heard the call Knuckles made to Professor Kukui and Burnet. This could be a new species of Pokemon. Or possibly man-made, and if it IS man-made, then I need to get out of here and fast. Before whoever made it finds it and comes to harm it and everyone else on the Island. You know I'm right Mira. If I don't do this now then we're only risking our lives, and the lives of everyone else on the Island, both people, and Pokemon. You know I can't do that. Shadow knows I'll always hate him. Resent him for what he did to me all those years ago. But he knows I wouldn't allow harm to anyone, or any Pokemon. He knows I'll put the Pokemon first and foremost. So this is why I am doing it. Besides...
Bella walks to the side of Mira and looks back to where they came from. Mira turns around and looks as well as the wind picks up again as she places a hand on her shoulder.
It's not like I didn't leave a note or anything? So I'm not doing as Shadow did. At least I have the heart to say goodbye. I'm sure come morning he will see it and know why I did it.
AHOY!
Bella and Mira look up and they see a Corviknight taxi coming down for a landing. As it lands, the guy atop it calls out.
You the one that called for a Taxi little lady?
I am yes. Could you give me a few more minutes, please?
Sure, sure. Go right ahead.
Thank you.
Turning around she looks to Mira as Mira bends her head down to nuzzle her again.
Listen, Mira, I'm sorry but it's time for me to go.
"Bella, please don't. At least wait till morning. Wait for him. He NEEDS you, Bella. As much as you need him."
Mira don't. You know once my mind is set, there is no changing it. Now as you know we spoke to you and Farlow about leaving you both behind to watch over everyone on the Island. You will still do that, won't you?
"Yes, I will. But I don't want you to go on your own. Farlow is more than capable enough to watch over everyone on his own. Let me come with you."
Mira you know you can't. You made a promise to me. To US, you would stay here and watch over everything for us. Besides. We agreed that we would do this right. That we would start as any new trainer would. Meaning that we couldn't have any other Pokemon with us.
"What about Lance? You're taking him with you?"
Yes, but only as a last resort should I need him, and keep me company as well.
Mira sighs out sadly but nods.
"Very well. I'll do as you ask of me. As promised."
Thank you. Now before I go I have something for you.
Bella walks over to her bag and takes something out. She comes back to Mira and tosses one end over her neck and brings it back around and places a bell on it, locking it into place.
This Heal Bell will keep you safe should you find yourself in trouble. The strap I made myself so it should be comfortable around your neck. It's strong and durable so it should fall off or anything for a long, long time. Wear it always and remember me. I'll be back to visit one day. I promise, and when I do you'll have a lot of new members to meet, and who knows? Maybe when I come back then head back out I'll take you with me. But for now, I need you to stay here alright?
"I'll treasure it always and will take good care of it. I promise. I'll miss you, Bella."
I'll miss you too. Now it's time for me to go.
Nuzzling her one more time. Bella gathers the basket up and her bag and she walks over to the Corviknight taxi where the guy holds the door open for her. She stops mid-way in when she hears someone shouting to her.
BELLA! WAIT! PLEASE WAIT!
She set's her bag and basket down, and the Baby Pokemon pokes its head out as Bella looks to where the shouting was coming from. They were still a bit away, but she knew who it was. Tears fill her eyes as the driver looks at her.
You wish we wait for him, miss?
She shakes her head as she turns to get into the taxi.
No, I don't. I wish to leave right away.
Are you sure?
Yes.
Alright then.
She gets into the taxi and the man closes the door and locks it. He whistles up to his Corviknight and it bends back down to let him on. It takes to the air and grabs hold of the taxi box and takes off.
BELLA WAIT! PLEASE DON'T GO! I KNOW YOU DIDN'T MEAN IT! IT WASN'T YOUR FAULT!
As they rise in the air, she hears him calling out to her saying it wasn't her fault. She looks through the window and down at him as he chases the taxi calling out to her. The baby Pokemon hops up onto her lap and looks out as she holds him as they look down at him. He looks between her and him and a bright light glows around him surrounding her and him both as they close their eyes. When they open them they see there in some sort of ethereal sort of space. For a moment Bella was surprised by this so was Knuckles.
What in the world?
What is going on?
Bella?
Knuckles?! Knuckles what is going on?! What is this?! Is this Farlow's doing?! Or Mira's?!
I don't know, but all I know is I'm not wasting a moment of it. Bella, listen, what happened today I don't blame you. Not at all. I forgive you for what happened.
Knuckles?
Tears form in her eyes as he holds up a hand and goes on.
But what I can't forgive is you leaving without saying goodbye to me face to face.
Knukies I'm sorry. I was scared to do so. After I raised a hand to you like that. After everything, you did for me. I couldn't face you.
I know, and I forgive you. Just don't do it again alright?
He pulls her close and hugs her as she cries and wraps her arms around him. He kisses the top of her head and smiles.
Listen, you do what you need to do. I know in due time we will meet again. We will always be together. No matter what. We are a team, and as a team, we can do anything. I'll give you a year's time to be on your own. Give you the time you need. I'll head to the Galar region and start there, and maybe see if I can't find something on that baby Pokemon you risked your life for. If you're going to see Kukui I am guessing you're heading to the Alola region?
Yeah.
Then we will meet in Sinnoh then? The halfway point?
Sure. I'd like that.
So be it. In a year's time, we will meet up in Sinnoh. But, promise me you'll keep in touch?
I will, I promise.
As they go to share a kiss their ethereal surroundings start to fade and they pull apart and look at one another.
Be safe my sweet little Bella.
I promise. I love you Knuckles.
And I you.
He places a hand on her cheek and wipes away a tear smiling at her.
Keep safe, and keep the baby Pokemon safe as well. I'll see if I can find anything about him on my end, and let you know. So stay in touch.
I will. I have Lance with me should I need him.
Good. Goodbye, my sweet Bella. Remember I love you.
Bye Knukies, and I love you as well.
With that, the ethereal surroundings finally fade away leaving Bella looking out the window and down at Knuckles as he and Farlow come to a stop at the floating Islands edge as they watch on. Bella looks down at the baby Pokemon who looked as pleased as a Meowth with a shiny trinket. She looks back up and out the window as she sees Knuckles slowly fading from sight.
Goodbye Knukies. I'll see you soon. As for you...
She holds up the baby Pokemon and looks at it smiling.
I don't know what that was or if it was even you, but thank you. I can't wait to find out more about you, and what you can do little guy.
It wags its two thin little tails at her and yips out.
Deep in the heart of Magma Rift sector...
DR. ROBOTNIK JR SIR! WE JUST GOT READINGS FROM THE BABY POKEMON THAT WAS STOLEN! THE LAST READOUTS ARE FROM SOMEONE NEAR ANGEL ISLAND POKEMON RESERVE! SHOULD WE INVESTIGATE THINGS?!
Show it up on the screen now!
RIGHT AWAY!
A couple of people type away at the control console and images of a Corviknight taxi could be seen. They move the camera in closer and zoom in on Bella. In her arms was the very baby Pokemon that was stolen from him. Laughing out, he fixes his glasses and smiles out.
Get me Team Rocket now. Tell them I have a job for them if they're up for it. Let them know I'll pay HANDSOMELY if they agree to it.
RIGHT AWAY SIR!
After a bit, the screen turns to static and soon three faces appear on the screen. A Mobian Fox in her early twenties with long magenta hair that was shaped into a comet tail, fur and tail the same color as her hair, white muzzle and belly, and tail tip, bright blue eyes. She had on a black one-shoulder crop top that had the strap on the right shoulder, leaving her arms and part of her chest and midsection bare. On it was a bright red R in the middle of it. She had on a short black mini skirt and a white leather vest that was always open. She had black fingerless gloves on, that had steel plates on the back of them sporting the same red R, and black high heel boots that only came to the middle of her cafes. Lastly, she had on a pair of green earrings, and red lip gloss.
Next was a periwinkle color Echidna with a tan muzzle, shoulder-length dreadlocks with a single fringe sprouting from the center. He had bright green eyes. His attire consisted of a black tight-fitting tank top, a white vest much like his partners, which had a big red R on the back of it, black armbands, and fingerless gloves, that had steel plates on the back of them, once again sporting the same red R on them. A black bandanna, white cargo shorts with a black leather belt that had a steel red R buckle on it, and black and red tennis shoes.
Between them was a talking Meowth who chuckles out. They were Jessie, James, and Meowth. Members of Team Rocket. An organization that devotes their lives to stealing others' Pokemon, and causing trouble.
Team Rocket reporting for duty sir!
Meowth states out.
Good. Now listen up. Do you see the image before you?
Why yes we do?
Jessie tells him.
Good. For the time being, to keep an eye on this girl and the Pokemon she has in her arms.
Sir?
For now, I want you to keep an eye on her, till I give the order to take it from her. Send me any data you gather, and I do mean ANY data. Do you understand me? I don't care what it is, just send it to me!
YES SIR!
They say at once as Jessie speaks up.
But if I may sir?
Yes, what is it?
What is it you wish to know about it? Just to give us a better understanding of course.
Of course. In short, this Pokemon has special powers and abilities, and I want to know more about it.
But what kind of Pokemon is it sir?
James asks him.
That is none of your need to know. Just know I want that Pokemon. But only in due time. As I said I wish to know more about it. I'll be sending a package your way with some items to help you. I want you to try and befriend the girl. Join up with her and see what you can learn.
Ooooo an undercover stealth mission. I like it.
Meowth speaks out.
Yes indeed. But remember. You're only to supervise till I give the order. Do not give yourself away. Also, as we speak I am now sending you half the payment for this so it should show up in your bank accounts soon.
Jessie hears a beeping sound and looks at her phone and taps it a few times. Her eyes go wide with shock as she looks at the Dr. Then back.
S-sir!? You're really giving us this much!
How much is he giving us?
James and Meowth look over and they freak out.
WOWZERS! THAT'S A LOT OF MOOLAH!
Meowth stats surprised.
I'll say. Just imagine what we could do with that much money.
James exclaims.
Now that you have half your payment, you will go to Heahea city located on West Side Island. When the time comes I will let you know when to try and befriend her. But till then keep an eye on her. Understand me?
YES SIR!
Good. Now get going! Your package will be waiting at the Pokemon Center once you reach Heahea City.
With that, he ends the call and he has someone bring up the image of Bella and the baby Pokemon once more. He chuckles out as he turns around taking his leave.
All in due time. Yes. All in due time.
Back on the Corviknight Taxi…
Bell was still holding onto the baby Pokemon when she leaned over and hit the intercom button.
Excuse me, sir?
What can I do for you, Miss?
I was wondering how long it would take to get to Southern Shores Research Lab where Professor Kukui lives.
Oh, we should get there about early to late morning.
Thank you, Sir. If possible, I would like not to be bothered till we reach there, please?
But of course, Miss. you rest up and leave everything to me.
With that, she ends the call and sighs out, leaning back against her seat. She had a lot on her mind right now, and it confused her. Most of which were about the baby Pokemon with her. Looking down at it, she smiles and strokes its head thinking for a moment. After a bit, she sets him down and gets up and takes out her Poke Pad and opens the recording app, and starts to record the Baby Pokemon.
Day One of The, Pokemon Mystery Files….
My name is Belladonna "Eris" Monroe. I'm a seventeen-year-old girl who is going to be turning eighteen soon in a few days. Right now I'm on a Corviknight Taxi, and on the way to Professor Kukui's lab on Southern Shore. Today was to have been a very special day for me, or anyone my age. Today was the day I was supposed to start my journey as a Pokemon Trainor and Traveling Gym Master. But sadly that didn't go according to plan. Earlier today I met someone I thought….WISHED I would never see again, but sadly, fate has its cruel ways of doing things to people. So it was because of this cruel twisted fate that I ran into my Ex again after nearly seven years. I wasn't too happy at first. He brought with him Pokemon he rescued from Space Colonie ARK. With them was a never-before-seen baby Pokemon, as you can see here right now. I don't know why I felt like I had to do this, record everything, I just felt it deep within me.
As you can see, he is some kind of candied, or maybe a feline breed of Pokemon. But I am unsure of who or what kind he could be. Or for if it's a HE at all. We've been just assuming as such. As you can see it looks almost like a tiny version of a Suicune. Yet at the same time not. Its fur kind of reminds me of a Cosmog in a way, even though I only saw pictures of one. It's like it has several kinds of Pokemon within it. I'm not even sure of the species or type of Pokemon it could be. So for now I think I'll dub it Osiris.
As she gives its name it looks over at her and sticks out its tongue out at her taking her by surprise.
Oh, my? I take it you don't like that name than little one?
No, no, no. Bad name.
Bella's eyes widen as she hears it speak once again to her. She blinks a couple of times surprised by this fact.
So I WASN'T hearing things last time. You CAN talk.
Alway's talk. Just not around strangers. You saved me. I trust you. You good person. Not like bad person's.
Do you mean the people who hurt you, and took you from your mother?
Yes. They bad person's. But you good person. Mama said I sometimes trust good persons.
Where is your mother now?
Don't know? Gone. Was taken away when I was sleeping. Woke up in strange place. Scare and alone with other Pokemon. Was scared. Miss mama. Do you know where mama is?
Bella looks at the baby Pokemon as it gives her a hopeful look. She didn't know what to do or say. As young as it was, it still needed its mother from the look AND sound of it. sighing out she smiles at it.
I'm sorry I don't know where she is. If I knew more about you, what kind of Pokemon you are, then I could help. I know of some special people who can help us. There are very good people like me.
They are trusted, like you?
Yes, they can be trusted like me. I promise, and if they try to do something bad, I have a very strong Pokemon with me that will help protect us both.
OK, I believe you. But…
Yes?
Will you be Mama? Just till we find Mama? Please? I miss mama. you remind me of mama. so, please. Please be mama?
Bella didn't know what to say about its request. It sounded so sad to the point it broke her heart. She looked at it and wondered how people could do something like this to a baby Pokemon. Take it away from its mother at such a young age that it now wanted her to be its mother till she could find its real mother. Part of her knew if she did this it would break her heart when and IF they did find its mother. She knew it was never a good idea to get attached to a wild baby Pokemon should the imprint on you. But right now she didn't care. The only thing that mattered was him. So, with a nod and a smile, she says yes.
Yes, till we can find your mother, I'll be your mama.
You be mama? Really?
Yeah, Really.
MAMA, MAMA, MAMA!
The baby Pokemon hops up and down happily as Bella smiles.
I know you told me before never to do this Baby, but I just couldn't say no to him...or her… right now it NEEDS a mother and it trusts me. I know if things had gone differently and you were here with me I know you would agree. But now this puts me in a pickle. I still need to think of a name for it. It doesn't like Osiris at all. But I don't know what else to call it. Hey, are you a boy or girl?
Is girl. Boy name icky yucky.
Bella laughs out as she goes to sit back down in the seat again. She holds up her Poke Pad so it was facing her just as the Baby Pokemon hops in her lap and curls up. She gently pets it as she thinks for a bit. She looks down and tilts her head and smiles a bit.
Well, I don't know what kind of Pokemon you are, but I know I'll need to call you something. But what? You're the size of an Eevee, if not smaller, you look candied or feline-like. Your fur is so soft. Like a cloud almost, like… a nebula cloud and that move you used that took me and Knuckles to some sort of Ethereal place. So very strange. So..soft...dreamy...even…and your eyes...like seeing the galaxy in them...mmm...and your tail...so pretty...like the cosmic nebula.
Bella yawns out as she feels herself dozing off. It had been a long day for her and she had little rest since saving the baby Pokemon. As she dozes off a name finally comes to her and she smiles.
Dreamkit…
Dreamkit?
The baby Pokemon looks up at Bella and thinks for a moment and wags its cloud-like tail.
Dreamkit. I like it, mama.
Bella sleepy looks down and smiles at Dreamkit.
I'm glad. So now that we know what to call you how about a nickname?
Nickname?
it is what I will call you, like how you call me Mama.
What call me Mama?
How about...Galaxy? Because you remind me of the galaxy we live in. Your fur makes you look like you would belong up there, running among the stars and planets and having so much fun.
Galaxy?
Dreamkit thinks for a moment and stands up wagging its tail once more.
It pretty names. I like it.
Then Galaxy it is then.
Well, I think that is everything for now. it's late and I had little rest since everything happened today. So I think it's high time we rested. Baby, I hope you get this since I think we're nearly out of range from any possible towers. But I'll be keeping logs from here on out. So stay safe till we meet again my beloved. Bella out.
Bella hits the stop recording button and sends the video file to Knuckles. it chimes at her letting her know that it was sent successfully. She smiles and puts her Poke Pad away and leans her head up against the window, letting the coolness of it lul her to sleep. Galaxy yawns out and curls back up in her lap and dozes off. Giggling, Bella gently pets her till she soon passes out.
