AN: Alright, some Q&A from the last two chapters that everyone's been asking. Sorry, but work was out of hand last time.
WrighteousRighter: I got a chance to see and dang. Now I can't wait to see. Although I hope the anime would be better because Pokemon Sun & Moon does have a few good episode but the rest...not so great. Including the aweful character design for Ash. What happened to the awesomeness from XY anime? Can we get that in Sword & Shield, please?
keybladelight: 1. I already promise a female pikachu but no new clothes unless they are in a new environment or participating in showcases.
The rest. You just have to wait and see. But I can tell you what the champion is like. The champion is dark and mysterious that seems to wear a mask and able to give their pokemon orders via some sort of telepathy. Nobody knows if the champion is a man or woman. It was an idea I had when I was trying to come up with the Pokemon MMO before I lost my files in the old computer. Plus the champion never appears in public or anything like that like previous champions unless something catches their attention.
Pokefan: Very funny. But I do have something in mind about the showcases with Franklin. However, that is for later because this is probably one of my longest stories yet...and a bit ambitious.
qazse: Sorry, but I can only use fakemon from fakemon games since they do have (almost) every detail about the Pokemon in these games. But the art is really good though and I have to agree.
Plus I have seen RWBY's new look. Don't like it. Hate Ruby's and Blake's hairstyles. Changing styles doesn't mean a good plot. To be honest, there were some good from Volume 5 & 6 but the plot is completely lost. Makes me wish that Monty Oum is still alive and steer this series in the right direction.
I uploaded it early so here you go.
Chapter 15
On the next day, Team RWBY went about to earn some money and get their Pokemon leveled up for future challenges ahead. Yet some of their Pokemon managed to evolve. Blazerina has evolved into a Monferno. Froakie evolved into Frogadier along with Birbie evolving to an Aveden. Chika evolved into a Bayleef.
Aveden. The bliss bird Pokemon. Normal and flying-type. The blue feathers on its chest reflect light. They use flashes to communicate with one another in the forest canopy.
As it is almost afternoon, everyone get to a different arena close to the sea as the Pokemon Showcase is about to begin.
Song: Pokemon Theme (Version XY)
Artists: Ben Dixon and the Sad Truth, John Siegler, and John Loeffler
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!
Everyone take their seats as they wait in anticipation of the showcase to begin. Team RWBY are at their seats with Franklin somehow stuck in the middle between Ruby and Yang. But Franklin is dressed up as some guy who looked like he just came out of a noir mobster movie. Although a little short. They see this large curtain at the stage.
Weiss is actually more eager to see what is gonna happen as her right foot keeps on tapping.
Ruby whispers to Franklin incognito, "You've seen these things before, right?"
Franklin whispers back, "Plenty in the Kalos Region. The stuff I did back at the Pokemon Contest was inspired by these events."
Yang whispers, "So all those fancy acrobatics were inspired by these all girls events like these. Do you fancy any of them?" Yang sounds like she is joking at the end.
"What?! No!" Franklin raises his voice a little while still whispering. "I just like some good competitions like these to see how well people bond and work with their Pokemon."
Yang smirks a little as she is only joking.
The lights went out and the curtains raised to reveal a man wearing some fancy outfit that is blue and white while wearing a top hat and holding a cane. On that cane seems to be some sort of key chain of some sort on it. The man speaks in some sort of French accent.
"Bonjour monsieur and mademoiselle and Pokemon trainers alike! Welcome to the Ecuador Town Pokemon Showcase where dreams and fantasies can become reality. I am your guide, Monsieur Pierre." Something flies after from his cane.
"What's that?" Ruby asks as she pulls out her Megadex and learned that it is a Klefki. (Which is the most laziest Pokemon design in my opinion) "So that's what it is."
To make things short, there are the Theme Performances which involves various activities that the audience may judge and vote with their glowsticks. There is also the Freestyle Performance where performers and their Pokemon can show-off their performances and whatever. Then people get to vote on who will be the winner and the winner of the Rookie Class will get a Princess Key. Once someone has collected all 3 keys, they get to move on to the Master Class and will go all the way to become Ultima Queen.
"And today's theme performance..." Lights shine on the stage to reveal some sort of tropical jungle with plants that seem to have flowers that glow like light bulbs and there also seems to be some sort of obstacle course that has vines for rope, a pool full of water that has giant lilypads and all sort of things that give it a jungle theme. "A tropical obstacle course race!"
"Uh?" Weiss went when she saw that.
Franklin sounds a little surprised, "I was not expecting that."
Blake looks at Franklin, "Do any of theme performances include physical activities?"
"Some did but nothing like this."
"Not only does a princess have to be beautiful, but must also be ready to deal with many obstacles. Both métaphoriquement (figuratively) and littéralement (literally). So let's give it up for our first round of princesses that will dare cross such paths. Ariel, Shizuka, and Belle."
"Ariel?" Franklin says. "I know her. She's the cousin of one of the celebrities at a party once. She has a thing for water-type Pokemon."
When some sort of elevator from the stage rise up, three contestants arrive and there is this one girl with long red hair, pale skin, blue eyes, and dressed like someone on safari (Google to see what safari clothes look like if you have no idea) with a blue sash on her along with her Popplio.
"You know here?" Ruby asks.
"Only once at a party but that was ages ago when the first film I was in turned into a huge hit. But that's definitely her."
There is one girl with green glasses, green eyes and blonde hair tied to a bun that has a Mareep (green sash) and there is another girl with short brown hair, dark skin, and yellow eyes that has a Skitty (which all members of Team RWBY adore and they have a pink sash).
"Ready? Un, deux, trois!"
All three performers and their Pokemon grab onto the vines and swing to make it to a bunch of lilypads in the water tank before they sink in. The blonde hair girl and her Mareep were the first to go down.
"Ooo! Looks like Madam Patricia and her Mareep are out!"
The other two then started to run on some logs as large styrofoam balls painted to look like boulders comes down on them. Ariel's Popplio uses water gun on them as the other girl's Skitty uses double-slap in order to press forward. Ariel takes the initiative as she and Popplio use their own acrobatic moves to dodge and make it to another vine as they climb up with Popplio on her head. She climbed her way to the top as Popplio rings the bell. The crowd cheers as if she has obtained victory.
"The winner of the Theme Performance round is Madam Ariel and her Popplio!"
Both of them slide down as they give a bow to the crowd as they cheer for them.
Back on Remnant, on Ironwood's ship, General Ironwood enters the bridge of his ship with all the crew members giving him a salute.
"How are things progressing?"
One of the crew members on a console checks, "We've translated some of the scriptures of the ruins. It is actually very easy since the script is somewhat similar to our own. It says, 'From this world, all of the gods choose the path to follow by accepting a blessing from a Pokemon of legend. But when one chooses a blessing of a particular legend, the other must be blessed with its counterpart.' From what I'm understanding is that these gods were once human and have been 'blessed' by these creatures."
The screen shows something from the ruin walls that look like DNA as the crew member continues.
"What they mean by 'blessed' is actually referring to accepting a piece of the creature's DNA. From what the scientist manage to find, it turns out that the Light Brother received the DNA of a Pokemon creature called, Xerneas. The Pokemon of Life. And for the Dark Brother, he chose to receive the DNA of a Pokemon called, Yveltal. The Pokemon of Destruction."
The main screen shows both brothers accepting the 'blessings' of these Pokemon with one side showing the Light Brother's transformation into a golden figure with deer antlers while the other shows the Dark Brother's transformation into a dark figure with ram-like horns.
"Yet from what we've managed to understand is that there was supposed to be a third that is supposed to be the balance between the two but there was no such candidate."
Ironwood concludes, "In other words, that world where Team RWBY has been transported to is where the gods come from. Best to keep this classified."
"Yes sir!"
"Speaking of."
Another crew member on the other console speaks, "They seem do be doing fine. However, the digital network is exploding with millions of views of Team RWBY's adventures. Seems that people have taken an interest in this new world they are in. But there are those that saying that these are fakes and saying that it is some sort of Huntsmen publicity show. Yet there is something worth of interest in this new world. There appears to be some technology in that world that is more advance than our own."
"Show it on screen."
The main screen shows some of the reading that Team RWBY did about some of the most advance technology that they scrolled through. The people try to translate as much as they can about the language in the Pokemon world. From most of the translation, they learned that there is space-age technology, teleportation, resurrecting fossils, cloning, and much more.
"Apparently the humans on that world don't use Dust but they seem to be very advance. More so than we are. I mean this stuff looks like something out of multiple science fiction novels! But it seems that there are only humans and just humans. Yet there doesn't seem to be any other sentient species like Faunus, sir."
"Hmm." Ironwood rubs his chin as he looks at the partially translated text and pictures of this new technology. "See if there is a way to reverse engineer these new forms of technology. Have our scientists back home prepare for some new secret projects on these things."
"Yes, sir!"
"In the meantime, keep an eye on the team. See if there is anything of interest."
Another crew member asks, "Like these Pokemon Contests?"
"Other than that."
One of the scientist in the bridge asks, "Sir, if we are able to send a Huntsmen team to help Team RWBY, which team would it be?"
Ironwood looks at the scientist, "Team JNPR. Since this world is mostly dominated by humans, and I don't mean to sound racist, best to send in a team that doesn't have any Faunus. Ms. Scarlatina's ears is a dead give away. Right now, see if there is a way to get that portal running."
"Yes sir."
Back at the Ecuador Seaside Dome, the Showcase continues as Dawn fails miserably along with Piplup as both of them fall down after failing to stop a boulder from smacking into them.
"Oh cher! Looks like Madam Dawn and her Piplup failed at this competition."
The person that she has a scar on her nose, aquamarine hair tied in twintail ringlets and red eyes with her Pokemon that looks like a one foot creature with purple shoulders and belly, tiny leafs on its head, green skin, and on a small life. This Pokemon is called, Nimbleaf.
Nmbleaf. The sprout Pokemon. A grass-type. If it is starving, it will eat its own leaf as sustenance. Apparently, the leaf doesn't taste very good.
AN: This Pokemon is from Pokemon Vega.
"It seems that Madam Aquamary has won!"
Dawn lifts her head and rubs her wounded forehead. Piplup rubs its bruised beak.
"Sorry Piplup. Guess we aren't cut out for this part of the competition."
Piplup agrees.
Ruby and Weiss go, "Awwww!"
Ruby gets all starry eye, "Piplup is so cute, even when its injured."
Weiss gets starry eye too, "I have no choice but to agree to that statement."
Franklin chuckles a little. He whispers to Blake, "Are these two always like this?"
Blake whispers back, "You have no idea."
Ruby push the two apart as she shouts, "No talking!" Ruby sounds almost jealous as she push the two apart.
May also made it in with her Skitty in the next round. This girl name Ariel that Franklin met made it to the Freestyle Performance along with May. Unfortunately, Dawn didn't make it. As such Dawn is at the lobby as everyone takes an intermission. She sits on a bench with her Piplup and looks a little down. Team RWBY and Franklin approach Dawn.
"You okay?" Franklin asks.
Dawn looks up and just says, "A little."
Franklin sits down next to Dawn as Ruby and Weiss play with Piplup for a bit.
"It's okay, Dawn." Franklin tries to give Dawn a confidence boost. "Not everyone can get it right the first time."
Dawn looks at him and goes, "Yeah, but I was not prepare for something like that."
Franklin chuckles a little, "Nor was I and that physical activity thing was a shock to me as well. But listen, no one can get it right on the first try. Like with your first Pokemon Contest over at Jubilife City. Remember that?"
Dawn smile a little, "I remember. I was so nervous to the point where I just keep on brushing my hair. And I almost fell down on the floor when I was up."
Franklin says, "But you did learn, right?"
"I did. You and Lucas were there as well yet helped me out even though we're supposed to be rivals."
"Right so, you have to be prepared to-"
"I'M HERE!" Franklin's speech was cut off by a very familiar voice.
"Oh no." Yang laments.
It is Rusty and his Rotomdex entering into the picture. He runs up to Team RWBY, Dawn, and Franklin as he says, "Please tell I'm in the Ecuador Town Gym!"
"I told you, bzzzt!" Rotomdex argues with Rusty, "There is no Pokemon Gym in Ecuador town!"
"I'm pretty sure your information is out of date and this place has to be the gym!"
"No Rusty." Yang says to the...possibly mentally challenged boy. "This is not the gym. This is the Pokemon Showcase Stage."
Rusty first sounds excited, "Pokemon Showcase!" But then speaks normally, "What's that?"
Rotomdex explains, "Pokemon Showcases are female-only competitions that is sort of like a beauty pageant that are originally from Kalos. The competition is split into two performances, which are the theme performance and the freestyle performance."
"Cool, where do I sign up?"
Weiss facepalms before saying, "It is a girl's only competition. Where you paying attention?"
"Sorta. But there are battles right?"
"Nope." Rotomdex says, "There are no battles."
"Awwww! That's boring! I'm gonna find a gym while also trying to catch more Pokemon!" Rusty runs off.
"Wait for me! Bzzztt!" Rotomdex tries to keep up.
Everyone just looked at 'Hurricane Rusty' as he heads out the door.
"That is one strange kid." Dawn pointed out.
"Just hope he doesn't mess things up or gets into trouble." Ruby says.
"Speak for yourself." Weiss says to Ruby.
"Yeah- uh- HEY!"
Everyone laughs a little before the announcement says that the Freestyle Performance is coming up and will watch the show. However, Franklin looks back and notices something on one of the rooftops of a building across the street. He only saw something for a second before looking forward and turns around completely. Whatever he saw is gone now, but it looks like someone wearing a black outfit with hood and robes. He started to feel pain in his right eye as he places his hand over it as if something...something from before is coming to haunt him. But continues to head inside to see the rest of the Pokemon Showcase.
The person peeked over from the ledge while lying on the top of the flat roof and sees Franklin heading back into the arena area with his/her binoculars. This person is wearing an 'H' patch on their uniform. Then a phone rang and speaks in a synthesized voice.
"Yes, boss?"
The person on the other end seems to be speaking but all that there is is a bunch of static and beeping noises.
"Yes, boss. I'm keeping an eye on them. They also appear to make contact with Franklin."
*static and beeps*
"I don't think Team Genetics has made contact with him or the four girls yet. Franklin did get a glance at me but just shrugs it off."
*static and beeps*
"I'll be more careful next time."
*static and beeps*
"I highly doubt he remembers anything. After all, he is one of the missing members of the horrible experiments done to us. The first to ever escape." The person rolls up their sleeve a little and shows to have an arm similar to an Alakazam as the person rubs on it with their human hand as if it is painful.
*static and beeps*
"I'll be alright. I'll make sure nothing happens to the four girls. For Team Helix."
Just what is going on? Who is Team Genetics and Team Helix? Why does that person have an arm of an Alakazam? What role does Team RWBY and Franklin play in all of this? Stay tuned for more adventures to come.
AN: Gives you idea of the premise huh?
But fair warning, things will get darker.
