Chapter 5
Where we last left off, Team RWBY got into major trouble with a high ranking grunt of Team Skull and his four Garbodors. Their Pokemon got poisoned by them and things were getting dire. However, May and Dawn stopped the grunt with their Pokemon. Which version of them? For Dawn, she is a mix of Pokemon Platinum and the anime which she has the anime appearance. For May, the anime version yet from the Wallace Cup episodes with the green and orange outfit...and Max is there with her. Although her personality is based on the game version. Just be glad I didn't went with the Sapphire Birch version of her and trust me you don't want to mess with that one! Check Bulbapedia to see- Sorry, back to the story.
"Look yo!" the grunt gives the two an angry tone of voice, "This is a private battle! Stay out unless you want a major sma-"
"Blaziken, use sky uppercut!"
Blaziken's right fist starts to glow white and uppercuts one of the Garbodors which causes it to faint and returned to its Pokeball.
"Now use overheat!"
Blaziken's body turns a faint red and it releases a white fire with a red-orange flame spiraling around it at the opponent. This hits the second Garbodor and got it to faint and return to its Pokeball.
"HEY!" the grunt says angrily, "THAT'S IT! GARBODORS USE VENOSHOCK!"
"Togekiss use safeguard!"
Togekiss uses safeguard to protect Blaziken as the Garbodors shoots green liquids from their fingers.
"Now use sky attack!"
Togekiss gracefully flies up with its body being surrounded by a white aura and it flies into the opponent. As it flies, a white trail of energy is left behind it. Which hits the two remaining Garbodors that causes them to faint and return to their Pokeballs.
"Way to go, girls!" Max cheered.
The grunt grrs at this and runs away. He yells out, "I'LL REMEMBER THIS!" as he runs away.
All the members of Team RWBY run up to their Pokemon to make sure they are okay.
The three run up to help out.
"Are you guys alright?" Dawn asks with a worried expression as she helps out Ruby.
"For now, but we need to cure them of their poison!" Ruby says.
Max suggests, "We need to get them to the Pokemon Center and fast before their HP reaches zero and won't gain any battle experience! Let's move!"
"RIGHT!" all the girls say at once.
They all call back their Pokemon in their Pokeballs as they ran off to the Pokemon Center.

I wanna be the very best
Like no one ever was
To catch them is my real test
To train them is my cause
(Pokémon!)
(Gotta catch 'em all), it's you and me
(Pokémon!)
I know it's my destiny
(Pokémon!)
Yeah, you're my best friend
In a world we must defend
(Pokémon!)
(Gotta catch 'em all)
Gotta catch 'em all
Gotta catch 'em all!
Pokémon!
The Pokemon Center is a three story building that has a red roof and the Pokemon Center located just above the automatic double glass doors. Surrounding the area are some patches of grass on each side that are at least 18 feet long and 14 feet wide with a little sidewalk down the middle. All seven of them run up to the front desk with Team RWBY saying incoherent shouting at the nurse.
"Girls, please!" the nurse says. "One at a time!"
Ruby speaks first, "Please help!"
Weiss shoves Ruby, "Our Pokemon have been poisoned!"
Yang shove both of them, "Please heal our Pokemon!"
"Got it!" the nurse nods with a serious look. She look away and says, "Blissey! We have an emergency!"
After Blissey shows up, they gave it their Pokeballs and it took them someplace to get healed up. The team sigh in relief.
"Thank goodness." Blake says.
"No need to worry." Dawn says, "Nurse Joy and Blissey will be able to heal your Pokemon in a few minutes."
"In a few minutes?" Weiss asks. "I thought those machines can heal Pokemon instantly. Like the one we saw at Acacia's Lab."
"Must've been a prototype we saw." Yang states.
Ruby looks at the three, "Thank you. We thought we were in super trouble. Hate to loose everything on the same day we started. My name is Ruby. Ruby Rose."
Weiss gives a courteous greeting, "I am Weiss Schnee. A pleasure to meet you."
Blake gives a little smile, "Blake Belladonna."
Yang then introduces herself with a strong impression, "Sup! My name is Yang Xiao Long. I'm Ruby's older sister!"
Dawn gives them a smile, "My name is Dawn. I'm a Pokemon Coordinator from the Sinnoh Region."
"Hi!" May says in an excited way. "I'm May! I'm a trainer and coordinator from the Hoenn Region! I just love Pokemon! I want to be friends with Pokemon all over the world!" Then grabs Ruby's hands tightly with a sound of some sort of cracking noise. "Can we be friends?!"
Now for Ruby's initial reaction, "...Um...sure... But are you sugar high?"
"Ahem!" Max went.
"Oh sorry." May apologizes. "This is my little brother, Max!"
Max pushes his glasses, "Hey there!"
"So, how old are you?" Yang asks.
"I'm nine years old!" Max stands proudly. "Just one more year until I become an official Pokemon trainer!
Dawn then says, "We can talk more over at the cafeteria."
As they went to the cafeteria, Team RWBY told them that it is the first day of their journey which is a bit of surprise for the other three since all the members of Team RWBY are in their teens.
"So what about you guys?" Ruby asks. "You said you were from other regions."
"Yep!" May says with her happy go lucky attitude. "Although on my first journey, my mom and I had to move due to my parents getting a divorce. But things have gotten better." She looks at Max, "As of now, Max and I are doing a bit of a sibling journey together before he starts on his. Even though I prefer to be a coordinator, I decided to try out the gyms since my brother likes gym battles and our father is a gym leader. But I'm also gonna try out those Pokemon Showcases."
Max has his nose in the air, "That's right."
Dawn then says, "As for me, my dream is to be top coordinator like my mother was. But I would also like to try out those Showcases as well and to learn more about Pokemon Performers."
"What are performers and coordinators?" Yang asks.
The three explained what Pokemon Coordinators are along with Pokemon Contest including how to show off your Pokemon's moves to impress the audience and judges before the battle rounds where you do the same thing as the appeal rounds while battling. They also explained what Pokemon Showcases are along with Pokemon Performers that have to go through theme performances and freestyle performances before receiving a key. As well as the fact that they are girl-only competitions with no battling. Max also went into great detail about gyms, badges, and the Pokemon League. But here in Ultima, they have something called a League Conference where all the trainers around the region that have collected twelve badges (not eight) to fight against each other tournament style before facing the Elite Four and the Champion.
Trivia: Like I stated before, this region is based on an MMO idea I had but not really good at programming. Every three badges you collect, the difficulty of the battles can get. Once you have collected 10 or 11 badges, the gym leaders will unleash mega evolve Pokemon as well as mythical/legendaries and Ultra Beasts as well as a Z-move. Kinda like being on hard mode. Since it is supposed to be an MMO, there is the Pokemon League Conferences based on the ones we seen in the anime before facing the Elite Four and the Champion. And yes, there are Showcases and Contest in Ultima as well. But like I said, I suck at programming.
"Huh." Weiss says with a hint of interest. "I like the idea of these performances."
"Same here." Blake has also taken an interest. "I think I'll try out these contests."
"I think I should try these contests." Yang says before looking at Ruby. "Ruby?"
Ruby seems to be distracted with some red on her cheeks as she looks like she is keeping an eye out for something. Or someone.
"Ruby?" Yang tries to snap Ruby out of it. Then snaps her fingers in front of her face, "Hey! *snap snap* Earth to Ruby!"
"Huh?" Ruby snaps out of it and looks at Yang.
"Is something wrong?"
Ruby's face turns red and looks a little nervous as she thinks of an excuse, "Oh! Uh! I-I was wondering if our Pokemon are okay! Hehe!"
Weiss looks at Ruby suspiciously, "Are you sure? Because your face says that your lying."
Ruby looks down with her eyes hidden, face red, and steam coming from her head.
"Are you thinking about that boy?" Blake asks.
Ruby then jolted up with white circles for eyes and her mouth and nose missing.
"Yep." Weiss nodded non-chalant. "You're thinking about Franklin."
"Who?" Dawn asks.
Blake responds, "Some guy we've met who saved her from a bunch of bad guys in an alleyway."
"Oh really!" May seems to have taken an interest. "What does he look like?"
"Well..." Yang explains. "He's a handsome looking dude with some nice arm muscles." She purrs a little right before Weiss finishes explaining.
"Best I can describe him is some guy dressed in a bizarre cowboy outfit." She then claps her hands together with her eyes turning into hearts, "With the most adorable Sylveon ever!"
While Weiss is lost in whatever land she is in, Blake finishes, "That is also very affectionate towards him." Then continues, "He also have this weird thing on his arm that looks like some diamond-shaped crystals on them along with a glove with a strange stone on it that has a symbol and is colorful. He also has this steel gauntlet on his other arm."
"Wait a minute." Max realizes as he scratches his chin. "Does he have short brown hair, one gold eye and one silver eye?"
"Yeah." Yang is surprised as she blinked a few times and sits back. "You know him?"
Max then screamed out, "YOU MET FRANKLIN, THE LEAGUE SLAYER!?"
Everyone around the room stopped what they were doing with a few drinks being spit out, some nearly choking on their food, and they all give shocked expressions at the seven at the round table near the window.
Close to one of the exits door, a young man with spiky reddish-brown hair, brown eyes; a green vest unzipped with a black t-shirt underneath; purple pants, a yin/yang necklace, and brown boots with black straps encircling them has taken an interest to what they have to say as he was chilling by leaning against the wall.
One of the male trainers slaps the left side of his forehead, "Oh great. There goes my chances at winning."
One of the female trainers say with heart-shaped eyes, "Franklin's here!"
One of the male trainers slams his head on the table, "I just started my journey."
"Uh-oh." says one of the female coordinators. "Just hope I have a chance."
Everyone around the room started to murmur among themselves with Nurse Joy saying through the PA, "Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna, and Yang Xiao Long; your Pokemon are fully healed."
Team RWBY went back to the front desk and got their Pokemon while Max keeps going, "How could you guys not know who Franklin is!?"
After they put away their Pokeballs, they look at Max with Blake saying, "We're not up to speed with current events."
"What can you tell us?" Yang asks with some curiosity while Ruby elbowed her.
Max then explains, "Franklin has gone from region to region. Taking on all the gyms and leagues and won them. Yet he only lost 15 times out of a million battles. Not to mention he is also top coordinator in every contest he has been in and has defeated the Battle Frontier back in Hoenn and Sinnoh. There are also rumors about his parents being scientists."
"I can vouch for him. Although not the whole 'his parents are scientists' thing." May says. "He came over to my parent's gym and won before I started my journey!"
"Lucas and I fought him many times before back in Sinnoh." Dawn tells her story. "He manage to beat the both of us in Pokemon Contests and I only defeated him once when I got my third ribbon. He even help us take down Team Galactic."
"Not only that, he is also known for being in a few independent films and even did a rock band called, Franklin and the Pokeband. Which is basically him and his Pokemon."
Max says, "He even made music for a few cartoon intros like Soldier Moe, Psy-Men, and Mighty Morphin' Poke-Rangers."
Trivia: The cartoons Max mentioned are actually knock offs of real cartoon shows such as G.I. Joe but instead of Cobra it is Arbok, X-Men except the heroes use psychic powers, and Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers except...yeah it is pretty much the same but instead of dinosaurs, they get their power from fossil Pokemon. And you know what? Here is a Pokemon version for the G.I. Joe intro. Hope you enjoy the laughs.
Crashing through the sky
Comes the fearful cry…
ARBOK! (ARBOK!)
ARBOK! (ARBOK!)
Armies of the night
Evil taking flight
ARBOK! (ARBOK!)
ARBOK! (ARBOK!)
They never give up

How will we survive
Soldier Moe

Soldier Moe is there
Soldier Moe
(A real Unova hero)
Soldier Moe is there
Soldier Moe!
YO MOE!
Now back on topic. Sorry but this is something that I just thought of in my sleep and was laughing a little. Along with a review of the G.I. Joe movie I've seen on YouTube with the Nostalgia Critic with one of the characters yelling, "Crobra la la la la la la la!" But instead in this world, it is: "Arbok ka ka ka ka ka ka!" Sorry but I had to add this in, it's too funny to pass up. Now back to the story. For real this time.
Weiss cross her arms, "Oh really?" She also seems to have taken an interest in Franklin's musical talents.
"Yeah!" Max seems excited. "I even have some of his tracks back home! Even my sister listens to them!"
May smacks Max on the head with her face all flushed, "Don't tell them that!" May is completely embarrass.
Max rubs the top of his head while yelling at his sister, "Hey! At least it is true!"
Everyone started laughing at the little sibling quarrel which seem to have ease Team RWBY a little.
"So Dawn, May, and Max." Ruby says to the three. "Think you can give us a tour of one of these Pokemon Centers? It's our first time."
"Sure. No need to worry." Dawn nodded. "I'll give you guys the tour. Although almost each and every Pokemon Center is different and unique in their own way. But I'll show you what this Pokemon Center has."
She takes them to the areas around the Pokemon Center. "This is the cafe area where you can buy all sorts of beverages for yourself and your Pokemon. Some of them include Lemonade, Tapu Cocoa, Roserade Tea, and Komala Coffee. But keep in mind that not all Pokemon Centers have their own cafe."
"Good to know." Weiss says.
Blake then says, "I could go for some tea after the tour."
Then Dawn takes them to the women's baths, "And this is the bathing area where you take your baths and there is also a laundromat located down the hall when you have a chance to do laundry." Then she takes them to the arena, went to the back with Nurse Joy to learn about the different medical equipment, the arena in the back, and the different bedrooms. She also stated that since they are in the largest city in the region, the center has to be a little bigger to accommodate all the trainers, coordinators, and performers that pass by. With that finish, Dawn went off to do some training.
Afterwards, they headed back to the cafe with Weiss and Blake getting tea while Yang and Ruby got coffee. And since it is their first time and it is a Thursday, they all get 12 Yellow Plain Beans and Old Gateau for each of them. They call out their Pokemon and gave them the beans while sitting at a table along with sharing their Old Gateau.
Yet Blake looks at it and says, "This is yokan. Forest yokan."
Weiss then says, "Ain't gateau meaning cake? Because this is a jellied desert, not cake."
Yang takes a little bite from it, "Well...it taste alright. Like eating one of those mochis at that one store dad usually visits."
Ruby doesn't look like she likes it, "Yeah, but I don't like it." Then she gives the rest to Chika, which she enjoys.
Weiss says to Ruby, "But it is a good snack with the tea. The sweetness of the yokan goes great with the tea."
Blake nods rabidly in agreement with Weiss.
"Well..." Ruby looks at their Pokemon. "At least they're happy now. A lot better than before."
They all look at their Pokemon and are glad that they are doing well and are grateful for the treats they received from their beloved trainers.
"Sure is nice, isn't it?" says a male voice.
All four of them look behind them and see the mysterious boy from the cafeteria from earlier.
"May we help you?" Weiss says in a passive hostile tone towards this new teenage boy.
Blake gives the stranger a glare as if she has a bad feeling about the guy due to her Faunus instincts. Yang does find the boy good looking, but not as good looking as the boy that saved Ruby. Speaking of, Ruby gets a little shy as she scoots away from him.
"Sorry about that." The boy then point his right thumb at himself, "My name is Blue. Blue Oak. Prof. Oak's grandson and former champion of the Kanto Region."
The four girls just look at him while their Pokemon just nibble on their goodies.
"Who?" Ruby asks.
Blue seems upset about them not knowing who he is. "Seriously?! I was known to hold the title of Pokemon Champion in the Kanto Region for the shortest time! And I was even a gym leader back at the Viridian Gym before coming here!"
"Sorry." Blake apologizes. "We've never been to Kanto."
Blue takes a sigh to calm down, "Any case, do you know where Franklin is?"
The four of them shake their heads 'no' since they haven't seen him since.
Blue then punches his left hand with his right, "Dang it! I was hoping to run into that guy. If you see him, tell him I'm waiting for him."
"Well..." Ruby speaks up, "He did say that he will meet us here but we haven't seen him since he helped me out. We even went on a tour with Dawn but so sign of him."
"Alright. But tell me if you see him...or just let him know that I'm searching here or whatever you prefer." Then leaves the four.
Weiss looks at her teammates, "What was all that about?"
"Might be someone with a grudge." Yang shrugs. "Maybe Franklin beat him so badly that he wants revenge."
"I believe so." Ruby agrees. "From what little we got, Franklin is pretty successful at what he does and that may get a lot of envious attention."
"But why do all these stuff though?" Blake asks.
"Maybe he just want to enjoy life." Ruby answers. "Although the whole doing gym battles and contests at once is a little incomprehensible."
Everyone looks at Ruby with perplexed looks with Ruby noticing.
"What?" she shrugs.
Yang asks, "Did you eat a dictionary before the mission? Because you never used big words like that."
Then they hear a bunch of people running with one of the male trainers saying, "Come on! It's almost time!"
"It's only 5:28! We'll see it in time!" a female trainer says.
"But the Champion of Champions tournament is about to begin!"
"The what?" Ruby tilted her head.
Team RWBY take their Pokemon and went to investigate what everyone is up to. They made it to the cafeteria where there are giant holographic screens that shows some sort of arena filled with cheering crowds.
"Hellooooo battle fans!" says the announcer. "And welcome back to the Champion of Champions Tournament, where champions of many regions come together to prove they have what it takes to be the strongest champion of the world! I'm your host, Freddy 'The Scoop' O'Martian and here to deliver the next action back battle between all the champions!"
Ruby's eyes start to sparkle, "That's awesome!" Chika also seems to have taken an interest.
"Let's see what this is about." Yang takes an interest as well along with Blazerina.
The camera pans over to a man with strange hairstyle that looks like a Volcarona's wings a little with the Freddy saying, "And here is our first contestant out of our remaining four, Alder! The Champion of Unova!" The crowd cheers as Alder puts on his best smile.
Then the camera pans over to a very attractive young lady in white with Freddy saying, "And give it up for everyone's favorite movie star and champion of Kalos, Diantha!" The crowd cheers even louder for Diantha.
"Movie star and champion?" Blake says after hearing that. "Guess champions come in all sorts, don't they?"
One of the male trainers scoffs, "More like ex-champions."
"Uh?" Blake looks at the trainer.
"Those guys already got their butt whooped by younger trainers and the trainers after them got whacked by Franklin during their journeys."
Back at the screen, Alder calls out his Escavalier while Diantha calls out Hawlucha. The screen in the stadium shows the two contestants, their Pokemon, and their Pokemon's HP bars. Before long, the bell dings and the fight begins. However, there is a blackout that caused all the lights to go off and the holoscreens to disappear.
"NOOOOOOOOOO!" Max screamed out. "A ONCE IN A LIFETIME MATCH, GONE!"
Then an explosion was heard back to where Nurse Joy keeps all the Pokemon. Team RWBY went down to investigate while using their Megadexes as flashlights. Once their, they see a ten people wearing black outfits with gray boots and gloves yet have a bright red 'R' on their shirts.
"Hey!" Ruby angrily shouts. "What do you think you're doing!?"
"Ah mulch!" one of the thieves say. "Run!"
The thieves try to escape with their loot while using some smoke bombs to cover their trail as they escape through a hole in the wall. They ran as fast as they could as night approaches with their bags of stolen Pokemon. However, someone throws three dark blue orbs at the group from the shadows. The orbs explode into some sort of red gas on all ten of them as they scream.
Team RWBY found them yet they notice something is wrong with them.
One of them have their eyes shut with tears streaming down as he cries out, "MY EYES! I CAN'T SEE!"
One of the other thieves was on all fours as she screams out, "MY NOSE! IT STINGS! IT FEELS LIKE SOMEONE SHOVED HOT SAUCE AND WASABI SAUCE THROUGH MY NOSTRILS!"
One of the other male thieves is rolling on the ground with his tongue sticking out, "MY TONGUE FEETH LIKE ITH ON THIRE!"
"What just happened?" Yang asks.
But then, someone came out of the shadows as he quickly dispatched all the thieves unconscious. In the light, Team RWBY recognize the person's signature cowboy outfit as he dust off his hat before putting it back on.
He turns around and says to the four, "Sorry about that. Had a few low-lives to track down."
"Franklin?!" Ruby says in surprise right before her face turns red. Then the electricity came back on in the Pokemon Center.
"How did you do that?!" Yang is also surprised yet really interested in how Franklin did what he did.
"Were those some sort of martial art move?" Blake asks. "Because it looked like you were doing a ninja move!"
Weiss then shove the three, "One at a time!"
Franklin chuckles a little before answering. He pulled out one of those dark blue orbs that he can fit in the palm of his hand, "Tomato Berry Smoke Bombs. Best bombs to use on enemies. A little invention I made in the Romul Region." Then puts the bomb away, "Also, I learned a bit of Ninjutsu in Kanto while also learning some PokeKata in the Omuran Region. I just combine the two and knockout Team Rocket."
Trivia: PokeKata is a special form of martial art that can be used on trainers in the wild to prevent Pokemon battles. That is also from Pokemon Empyrean. I know I reference that fan game a lot but there is some really cool stuff in that game. Yet one of the things I also find weird is that Petshop from JoJo's Bizarre Adventures is a Pokemon in that game. Is that weird? As for Romul, I made it up (named after Romulus). It is an Italian-based region but it is based off of Mr. Buddy's version of the Italian Pokemon Region. Check it out on YouTube, you'll love it.
But back to the story.
"Sorry I was a little late." Franklin apologizes, "Officer Jenny asked me to help out a little more." He looks down at the Team Rocket grunts, "Been tracking these guys for a while."
Then the police sirens are heard with the police taking all the unconscious and spicy smelling grunts into the vans with some of them help return the Pokeballs to their rightful trainers.
"Aha! Found you!" Blue Oak has enter the scene while holding onto a Pokeball in his left hand along with a serious look on his face staring directly at Franklin.
Franklin gives Blue a warm greeting, "Oh hey, man! It's been a while. Six years?"
Team RWBY watches the drama between the two.
He point his Pokeball at Franklin while saying in a serious tone, "Battle me. NOW!"
"Hang on hang on!" Franklin says. "I need to assemble my team first."
Both of them went to the battlefield in the back of the Pokemon Center with Team RWBY watching along with a few trainers, coordinators, and many others while the rest trying to watch the Champion of Champions matches on the holo-screens. (It's like choosing between watching a live match between legends or watching a real-live match between an ex-champ and a walking legend...I think.) Everyone watches intently at the battle that is about to happen. A former champion from the Kanto Region against someone that has been around the world throughout his journey. Two of them about ready to take on the most epic fight for all time with many witnesses to see this little historical event, and none of them has ever gotten any badges or ribbons just yet. So everyone brace for an epic showdown...but that is for next time! (someone reading this: *thumbs down* BOOOOOO!) I know everyone hates cliffhangers but you're gonna have to deal with them. Until next time!
Now for Reviews:
Mara The Wolf:
I am already aware of some of these facts with the exception of #4 and bits of #3. Which I do apologize with the mistake I made about Pokedexes, or here, Megadexes. I am aware that Giratina represents antimatter, not the equivalent of the devil. The reason why Giratina was banished to the Distortion World is because he was being a jerk and matter and antimatter don't mix all that well. As for why I keep on bringing up 10-year-olds is because in the games, there is no official age for people to be Pokemon Trainers or get a Pokemon Trainer License which allows them to actually go out into the world, participates in competitions that involve Pokemon, and being able to purchase Pokeballs. Also played Pokemon Black and Pokemon White 2 which were the last Pokemon games I've played before I stopped playing Pokemon games all together. I am also aware that children do have Pokemon from their family such as the case with Marigold in Black and White who chooses a Foongus as her Pokemon partner. Same that was with the one episode in Johto with a Mareep and this one episode in the original Indigo series with a boy and his Eevee. That and I also found some theories on why starters are so rare.
Although, thinking back about the whole 'Pokemon being worshiped as deities' sort of thing, I do remember back during the Orange Islands season about a cult that worships a Meowth called, the Great Meowth of Bounty. Not sure about it but it has been a long time since I watched the second season of the anime. I'll check it out later.
In Sun and Moon, I didn't know about the fact that you have to be at least 11 not 10 to take the island challenges. Must've overlooked that somehow when doing research. But I do have one argument about that: If you have to be 11, how come Ash is doing them?! The guy is still 10! I know that the reason why they keep him that way is because it is a show for children and they keep him 10-years-old, but how come he is doing them if you have to be at least one year older?! Which from there, I just assume that you have to be 10 to participate in anything really. And for crying out loud, HAVE ASH AGE ALREADY! Plus I never played any other official Pokemon game beyond Black and White. I've just been watching the Pokemon anime in my spare time and I love the Pokemon XY anime, which in my opinion, is the superior Pokemon anime in terms of character design, action, story, character development, and lots more. I've played Pokemon Uranium on my old laptop that does have Pokemon from X&Y and it was a lot of fun, especially some of the mythos and there are areas that do have places that worship two very distinctive Pokemon as gods. Yet I do wonder, do humans in the main Pokemon series worship certain Pokemon as gods like Arceus? As a matter of fact, where do humans come from in the Pokemon World? More on that later. Although I am gonna keep the whole 'more than one Nurse Joy' for a bit of humor.
But for the sake of argument, lets just say that this story takes place in an alternate universe that is similar yet different (like you said about Sun and Moon & Ultra Sun and Moon). I really do appreciate you pointing the facts out and thank you for it. Plus, nice to have an old fan back.
So here in this universe, certain events took place at certain times and there are also some fan-made stuff in this universe like fan-made regions and Pokemon.
As for those who are wondering "When do we get to see what is happening at Remnant"? Be patient. We'll get to that point when we get there.
And now, for some news. Turns out that my travels have been cancelled due some...complications. One of those complications is that one of my co-workers died in an elevator. I don't exactly know the person since that person works for the higher ups directly and was crushed by the elevator. The second is that some of the systems went haywire and that may have been the reason why the elevator crashed so some of our files and stuff gotten corrupted. So most of the expenses for my travels are being used for repairs and a funeral. Yeah, life sorta sucks. But hey, bad stuff happens. So expect more chapters in summer rather than coming out at random unless I have some news. See ya' later!
