On with the story

On the road to their journey again, Shirina and the others continued for Snowpoint City but with the addition of Akira and Kenji joining in on the group.

The group were riding on their bikes, but except for Shirina who is flying in the air on the back of her Golurk.

"see ya on the next town~!" exclaimed Shirina as her Golurk rockets away.

"why that Shiri!" said Kirika angry before gripping her bike's handle hard. "hold on tight, Minny!"

"this again?" said Minny before putting on a helmet and straps it tight.

Kirika pushes the pedals of her bike so fast that she zooms through the pat, catching up to Shirina and her Golurk.

"those two never changed" said Akira, pedalling his bike normally with Kenji.

"that's neechan and Kirika-san after all" said Osamu with an awkward smile, the young boy on the back seat of Shirina's bike which is being pedalled by Miyuki.

After Chocovine town's Pokemon Contest, they were headed for Snowpoint City for the Snowpoint Gym for the seventh gym badge. The trip is going to be a long one, but they all were going there no matter what.

"now that Akira-san has five ribbons, you're already set for the Grand Festival" said Miyuki as Akira nodded, the young man now obtained the ticket for the Grand Festival, now he only needs two more Gym Badges to win the ticket for the Sinnoh League just like Shirina and Kirika.

"I only got three while you and Minny still only have 2" said Osamu to Miyuki as the three were a few ribbons short for their entry into the Grand Festival.

"there aren't that many Contest opened left…but" said Kenji as he is looking at a map on his Poketch. "but it says here that there are a few still scheduled and they're on our path to Snowpoint city"

"how many?" asked Miyuki as Kenji looks at the map a few times.

"about three or four" replied Kenji.

"we should be able to get you guys there at the pace that we are going" said Akira as he saw a town coming into view, Shirina, Kirika, and Minny had already arrived at the town first.

"we better get there before neechan and Kirika-san go off and find random trainers to battle against" said Osamu, knowing how his big sister and Kirika's personality works.

The group pedals away, heading for the town where their friends are waiting at.

Arriving in the town, Osamu and the others met up with Shirina and the other who were waiting on them by a store.

"over here!" Kirika called them out as Osamu and the others went to them

"look here, guys" said Shirina as she pointed to the inside of the store where there were TVs everywhere. On the tv is a live channel on the Sinnoh news where the group of reporters were interviewing the Officer Jenny situated at Canalave City where workers were pulling out stone statues of Pokemons and Team Rocket grunts from inside the secret base. "looks like they got them out."

"just why did this happened?" said Miyuki with a frown.

"the why is making my head spin, but the how is making my head hurt" said Kenji as he and Akira didn't know of how Shirona and the others went to the future and met Pokemon Kaiser.

"should we tell them?" Kirika asked Shirina, thinking that they should tell the two of how they got into the future by Dialga.

"maybe…it won't hurt right?" said Shirina.

The group soon settled down by a café where Shirina and Kirika told Akira and Kenji about the wholetime travel and meeting Pokemon Kaiser in the future scenario.

When they finished explaining the story, Kenji had weird and confused eyes while Akira's were keened and serious.

"you sure you guys didn't get a knock on your heads? Because that story sounds a bit far off to be true" said Kenji, not believing on the time travel.

"I know you guys won't believe us, but we don't lie about series things" said Kirika while pointing a finger at the table. "right now, we might have a problem that could just ruin the future again."

"so this…Pokemon Kaiser, was it? Is a being who wiped out humans and Pokemons in the future? Turning them all into stone statues just like how the team rocket members at Canalave city were like?" asked Akira as Shirina and the others nodded. "it's hard pill to swallow that one."

"Mewtwo told us that we have to stop Pokemon Kaiser from ever coming, but those statues of team rocket, and Papa meeting him at the Summer School…." Said Osamu, recalling the past events of Pokemon Kaiser.

"I think he is already here in Sinnoh, we just don't know where" said Shirina as they were in for a serious trouble in the future.

"did you guys told Ken-san or any others?" asked Kenji as they shook their head.

"other than you guys, no" said Kirika.

"and if we told Papa, who knows where we would be now" said Shirina knowing that Ken would become a different person towards a threatening danger of Pokemon Kaiser.

"so…..what do we do?" said Kenji, not knowing what should one do if they are facing someone who had ended the human race in the future.

"for now….." said Shirina while rubbing her chin before her stomach growls hungrily and she had a sheepish look. "can we just eat first? I'm hungry"

Everyone fell anime style as Shirina just made the mood drop tenfold.

"what is with your stomach and its timing!?" said Akira and Kirika angrily at her.

"sorry! Sorry! I had a light breakfast today!" said Shirina, apologizing to the two.

"just when things were getting tense…." Minny added sighing as Kenji nodded. Akira and Kirika started scolding Shirina who keeps apologizing to them.

"nee-chan" said Osamu with a sigh as his sister can be a glutton sometimes.

Somewhere in Sinnoh. At a team rocket base.

In the laboratory of Prof. Nanba, the head professor is doing some checking on a giant machine that had several glass tubes attached to it.

"Prof. Bamba" said a Team Rocket grunt who is reporting it.

"it's NANBA!" exclaimed Nanba angrily as everyone keeps getting his name wrong like Kosaburo. "and what is it!? Can't you see that the tuning of this machine is to be precise and I cannot be disturbed!"

"reports from the transport team" said the team rocket grunt as he showed Prof. Nanba a tablet that showed the image of the glass tubes filled with multiple various coloured sparkling stars within each one. "the package will arrive in 4 days time, professor"

"I see" said the professor Nanba as he looks at the image before keening his eyes a bit. "why are there only 13 of them? There are supposed to be 17!"

"the reports says that 4 were not found with the other, seems that they were already taken away beforehand" the team rocket grunt replied.

"hmph! No matter!" said Prof Nanba before looking at the large machine of his creation. "Once the machine is complete and the Life Plates are installed within. The ultimate Pokemon, ARC00 will be in the control of team Rocket!"

Inside the large machine is a glass tube that has a mechanical suit that is the size of a man, the helmet piece's visor glows before dimming.

That's a wrap!

Bye bye
