Chapter 44

Song: Butter-Fly (English Fan Dub Ver.)

Artist: LeeandLie (Original Japanese Artist: Koji Wada)

My broken wings dream of the sky,
And they'll never be able to fly.

Only if we never try,
On my loo-o-o-ove!

If I could become just one thing,
I'd be a butterfly-free soaring.

I really miss you...
So finally I'm on my way.

Let's focus on the people we trust
And leave out all the doubt behind us.

So if you're ready...
Can we go? 'Cause there's no time to wa-aste.

I wanna kno-o-ow oh...
If the sky above is only for show.

I wanna kno-o-ow oh...
What tomorrow will bring so let's spread our wi-i-ings!

Maybe this world's an infinite dream,
And there is only hope living in me!

May it not fail me now!
We'll turn this thing around and bring back the lovin' somehow!

My broken wings dream of the sky,
and they'll never be able to fly!

Only if we never try,
On my lo-o-ove!

On my lo-o-o-ove!

After the match between Red and Adrian, Team RWBY headed out after capturing a few Pokemon as they head back to Brazil City. Once there, they take a special subway that leads to their next destination: Kanto City. They boarded the train and travel through a glass tube that leads through the Shinto Coral Reefs.

"Wow!" Yang and Ruby went as they look out the window.

What they see is a wide array of coral that some are big as towers, some more colorful, and some even stranger. Among them, they see a wide range of water-type Pokemon that call the Shinto Coral Reef home. They even see new subspecies of Corsola and Corsoreef with some being red with branches looking like fire coral. Some are blue with tube-like coral, some a more hot pink coloration with very spiky branches, some a more purple or violet coloring with bubbly coral tubes, while other are yellow with branches looking more like horns.

Weiss gushes, "Awww! Look at all the pretty and adorable Pokemon!"

Blake is holding a knife in one hand and a fork in the other while drooling, "I want to eat all the fish."

"This. Is. Amazing!" Ruby is jumping up and down in her seat, "Who knew this world has so many wonders like these!"

Yang smiles, "This place makes Remnant more of a death trap."

Weiss rolls her eyes, "Oh please! There are sights just as beautiful as these back home. But they don't have adorable creatures though."

"That's Grimm." Yang makes a pun.

Yet no one is laughing.

"Come on!"

Blake is still looking out the window, "I want to eat all the fish."

They all look at Blake as she continues to look out the window and want to eat all the water-type Pokemon.

"Um, Blake?" Yang tries to snap Blake out of it, "Do you want to eat at the Pokemon Center? They may have those type of fish you want to eat."

But Blake repeats, "I want to eat all the fish."

Now they are starting to worry.

The PA system came on, "Five minutes to Kanto City. Five minutes to Kanto City."

Weiss asks, "Do you think you can hang on for five minutes, Blake?"

But Blake keeps drooling over the water-type Pokemon outside.

Weiss just sighs and look away, "It's hopeless."

After five minutes, they made it to Kanto City. A city that is based on the Kanto Region yet more based on Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee with styles taken from the gyms. Styles such as Celadon City, with lush plants and beautiful flowers along with Fuchsia City's gardens. Cerulean City's aquatic styles mixed with Vermilion City's ports. And Saffron City's neon metropolis with Cinnabar Island's culture thrown into the mix. A beautiful metropolis that celebrates its Kanto heritage.

Yang smiles, "Now this is a city!"

"I like it." Weiss admits that she likes this city.

Ruby asks, "I wonder why it is called Kanto City?"

Blake is already on her Megadex, "Kanto City was founded by settlers from the Kanto Region fifty years ago."

"Whoa!" Yang gets startled, "Guess she's back to normal."

"The city was founded by a hundred and fifty colonists from the Kanto Region that wanted to spread its culture and heritage to the Ultima Region. To further celebrate it, the gym leader uses the three starter Pokemon and their evolved forms. The people of Kanto City are also known for being fine makers of perfumes, electronic consumer goods and top-of-the-line sneakers. It is also a resort city where many come and experience the Kanto culture as well as enjoy sweets made from red bean paste and rice flour called, mochi. Oh!"

"What is it?" Ruby looks over Blake's shoulder, "Something good?"

"They also make tea mochi." Blake like the idea of tea mochi, "There's green, earl gray, oolong and the new chrysanthemum."

"Yuck!" Ruby went in disgust, "I hate tea!"

"There also trying to experiment cookie dough mochi."

Ruby went back over to Blake, "Where is that!?"

"Okay, okay." Weiss has had enough and wants to get straight to the point, "Where is the next Pokemon Contest?"

Yang also asks, "Not only that, where's the gym?"

Blake looks over at her Megadex, "The next contest doesn't start in four days, so we should get some practice. And the gym is located in an old fashion inn, run by the Pokemon gym leader, Shiro. The inn is located on the east side, close to a department store, Kanto Goodies."

"A department store you say." Weiss has taken an interest as she walks off, "I don't know about you, but I want to do some shopping. I would like to get my Pokemon some cute accessories before the next contest."

"Shall we?" Yang asks her teammates.

"I think we should." Blake says, "But we could also use the time to prepare for the gym. Plus you guys owe me some fish."

Ruby says, "We can also use the contest as a chance to develop new moves against whatever the gym leader has."

"That...is actually a good point." Weiss admits that Ruby's plan is sound.

"And my fish?" Blake asks.

"We'll get some when we make it to the Pokemon Center." Ruby walks off, "Now come on. Let's do some girl time."

Weiss follows, "I thought we have that all the time."

Blake follows as well, "Can we get some fish first?"

Yang is the last to follow, "Just be patient, Blake. Just be patient."

They all headed over to Kanto Goodies and see what they have. They explore each and every level of the department store and found a few interesting things. Pokemon masks that are meant for festivals, a wide arrange of products made by Silph Co., specialize Pokemon food and even contest accessories.

Weiss is holding two different bow ties and tries to decide which one to buy, "Should I get the blue with the white polka dots, or this green one with a leaf pattern."

Yang is checking out the food items, "I wonder if they have any food for Tai. He drinks liquids, but I don't see if there is any."

Blake states, "I'm pretty sure I saw a liquid food section in the next aisle."

Ruby is getting starry eye over a Pikachu model in a dance position and winking, "Aww! I want one!" But she shakes her head and snaps out of it, "No! I will catch a real Pikachu when I find one." But looks back at the model, "But that model looks really cuuute.~" Yet she looks over at what looks like a pair of binoculars, "Although, the Silph Scope looks pretty handy."

Weiss continues to shop and tries to decide what colored scarf she should get, "The red matches Monarch's eyes, but it might clash with his skin color. The white will look great with his wings, but I wonder if its too simple. Perhaps the yellow one?"

Yang and Blake continue to look over the items and try to decide what to get.

Yang looks over at the medicine items, "Since we have a badge each, we can now buy super potions."

"Not to mention the repels, burn heals and ice heals we can use now." Blake states, "Those might come in handy."

"Let's skip the repels. I smelled one once and, yuck."

"Too bad we have to have two badges for a great ball. But on the bright side, that is more of a bargain."

"How's that?"

"You need three badges to use a great ball everywhere else."

"Once we get our next badge, the better."

"Awwww~!" Ruby gushes over a Clefairy lamp, "Super cute!" But thinks about it, "Yet do I wanna buy it? Or I should save what I got and buy it when I get home?"

Weiss approaches, "Did you find something good, Ruby?" Yet she notices the lamp, "Aww~! Mega cute!"

"I know, right?"

Not long after, everyone headed to the nearest Pokemon Center and rest up as they enter the bed room.

Ruby takes a relaxing sigh after getting into one of the beds, "I'm exhausted." and buries her face in the pillow.

Weiss happily puts the Clefairy lamp on the desk next to the Pikachu model, "And there we go~. A wonderful array of cuteness."

Blake is unimpressed, "I can't believe you bought something that we cannot use here and now."

Yang is a bit more cheery, "Oh come on, Blake. Think of it as a souvenir when we get back as a memory of our time in this world."

Weiss sits on her bed, "Come to think of it, how are we gonna get back? Is anyone even worried about us back home? Or is time standing still as we continue our journey?"

"Ouch." Yang rubs the left side of her head, "My head hurts."

Ruby pops her face up, "I never really thought about it. Maybe because stuff like that is too complicated. Even make my brain hurt."

"Mine too."

Blake has a suggestion, "Then we should think what scenario is happening back home right now and then work on the contest."

Weiss has a theory, "I have a theory: Team CFVY reported to Ozpin who later called in some scientist from Atlas to study the temple and find a way to bring us home."

"I agree." Yang agrees with Weiss, "Because if time is frozen, I don't wanna head back and be an old crone when we do get back."

Ruby says, "I'll go with the time frozen theory, because I do want to be more mature when we get back and everyone won't think of me as a little kid."

Blake says, "Both good theories. But the only way to know for sure is that someone from our world sends us a message or something." Blake looks at her Megadex, "If only we can communicate with someone from our world."

"Hmm..." Ruby gets an idea and checks her Megadex.

Yang looks at her sister, "Thought of something, Ruby?"

"I'm checking to see if there are any Pokemon that can manipulate space and time. Or even something that can open gateways to other dimensions."

"Like with the Ultra Beasts?" Blake asks.

"Oh yeah." Yang realizes, "Buzzwole is an Ultra Beast. If we can learn more about them, we could probably can find a way home."

Blake checks her Megadex, "Actually, I think we have seen certain types of Pokemon before. Remember the statues at the temple?"

"I do remember them." Weiss remembers, "Why would... Ooohh. I get it. If the gods were created by them, they may know a way to get us back home."

"Right."

But Ruby goes, "Hang on, what makes you think that the Brothers were created by them?"

Weiss explains, "Allow me to explain. The reason why we suspect that is because of what happened. If you remember the ruins, we saw statue of the gods there and some of those creatures with similar traits. Like antlers for the Light God and horns for the Dark God. We then saw one statue that have antlers and one having similar horns."

Blake shows two pictures on her Megadex, "Like this deer looking creature, Xerneas, it represents life and light. While its polar opposite, Yveltal, represents darkness and destruction."

"Exactly. If they were created by these special creatures, then there might be others that can help and take us home. And if you remember the...crime, that we helped undo, genetic splicing human with Pokemon. The Brothers must've been spliced just like what happened to the victims, except they were using science, not magic. Or in this case, aura, the closest we can get to magic in this world. Many of these creatures are considered gods and actually do exist and have been living for untold ages. If we can find one or two that can help us, we can go home."

"OoooOOoh." Ruby gets it. However, it makes her a bit uneasy, "But should we go home? I mean, we started a long journey in this world and I just don't feel right about leaving it unfinished."

"I understand, Ruby." Yang places her hand on Ruby's left shoulder, "But we're Huntresses. Swore to uphold the peace, help those in need and destroy the Grimm. Don't forget that."

Ruby sighs, "You're right." She puts on a smile, "But you have to admit, this world can be fun." but looks away and stops smiling, "But it does have its issues just as well."

Weiss tries to play it cool, "Well, this world does have some major...'advantages'."

Blake smiles at Weiss, "Like all the cute and adorable creatures you get to catch?"

Weiss blushes, "Um...well...yes."

The four laugh and are actually enjoying the new world they are in.

But Blake is now being more serious, "But we should find a way back home soon."

The other three nod in agreement.

"Alright. Let's find us a way home. For the time being though, lets enjoy this world until we find out how."
