Oh hey guys! How are you all doing? Hopefully, well.

Mew: Just get on with it!

Me: Get on with what?

Mew: The story, of course! What else would I be talking about?! Politics?!

Me: No, no, you're right… But first, I gotta say a few things, alright? Hey, don't get mad at me. This would've gone a lot faster if you didn't erase the original file!

Mew: *glares before sighing in defeat* Fine, you have a point there… But I'm not letting this go just yet!

Me: *sweatdrops* Okay then...go ahead and do that…

Today, I would like to send a very special thank you to NightMareSorrow once again. They are absolutely awesome, and you guys should totally check out their stories if you haven't already. Really, they did a fantastic job!

Reviews:

Guest: Yep, Sora'll stay with Ash. It'll be interesting, no? And don't worry, we'll see Sora explain sometime soon in the future. Ah, I can just see the reactions right now…

Guest (Ch. 2): Yes, you are correct, thank you for clearing up for the other readers!

Guest: Yes, yes, Sora will eventually reveal himself. It is inevitable. But even if Palkia is the Pokémon of space, it would probably want to keep the world order as well. I mean, if you've ever played Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky, Darkness, or Time...You may know what I'm talking about. But it is important to keep world order.

Droppopcandy 2: Yeah, I type it fast on my phone, so a few words are bound to be misspelled, but I try my best. :) And that is your favorite part? Glad you liked it. :D

Alright, since that's all, it's time to move on with the story! Happy now, Mew?

A child's voice rang out from a small cave. "Yeah, just go on ahead without me…"

….

Okay…

I don't own any aspect of either Pokémon or Kingdom Hearts. I also don't own Chase.

After they finished eating, the twosome Trainers plus their Pokémon went outside, hoping to get to Professor Sycamore's lab before it got too dark.

Chase needed to go there because he hadn't received a map yet, and he'd need one if he wanted to travel around. Ash insisted on going as well, for he felt that the Professor would hopefully give him a Pokédex he could use to scan the new Pokémon found in this region.

Luckily for the both of them, the lab was literally just across the street, shown by two large pillars topped with large, stone Pokéballs.

Ash and Chase walked up to the entrance and opened the door, looking in awe at the amazing architecture. Ash called out, "Hello, Professor Sycamore? Are you here?!"

Chase and Belle sweatdropped, but soon they heard some footsteps coming in their direction. They turned to see a blue-haired man in a open lab coat walk from one of the rooms from the side. He looked overly tired, but he smiled once he saw the two trainers and their Pokemon. "Ah, guests! Welcome. How may I help you?"

The energetic teen spoke before Chase could even whisper. "Your Professor Sycamore right? I'm Ash Ketchum, from Pallet Town in the Kanto region!"

The professor's eyes widened. "Ah, Professor Oak told me you just arrived here recently, right? It's nice to meet you Ash, and as you already seem to know, I'm Professor Sycamore." He then turned to Chase. "Ah, who might you be?"

Chase hesitated for a moment before saying, "I'm Chase, Chase Colton. It's nice to meet you."

Sycamore smiled. "A shy one, are you? Well no worries, that is perfectly fine. Now, what can I do for you this evening?"

Sora just watched the conversation and sighed. He was bored, he needed to do something. Honestly, as cool as it was not to have to walk anywhere, he just couldn't stay still long enough to enjoy it.

He jumped off Ash's shoulder before anything else was said. Ash, surprised, asked, "Hey Sora, where are you going?"

Sora yelled back, "I'm booooored!" back to Ash as he ran off.

Everyone that knew about Sora sweatdropped while Sycamore blinked with wide eyes. "What was that, might I ask?"

Ash and Pikachu turned back to the Professor and grinned. "Oh, that's Sora. He wanted to come along on my adventure with Pikachu."

"Pika-pika!"

Sycamore placed his hand on his chin, showing that he was thinking. "What a peculiar Pokémon. Did it speak earlier…?"

Chase nodded. "I was surprised as well...though not much." Belle just looked at him suspiciously.

Sycamore just nodded. "Okay...well, what are you to here for again? I never got your answers after that…heh." He chuckled sheepishly.

Ash's eyes sparkled. "I want to get a Pokédex to get to know all of the Pokémon in the Kalos region! Isn't that right Pikachu?" Pikachu smiled happily. "Pikachu!"

Sycamore smiled. "Well then, I can show you some of the Pokémon that live here in the lab. I'm sure they'd love some company."

Ash grinned. "You mean it? Awesome!"

Sycamore then turned to Chase. "And what about you, young man? Did you come to see me for something as well?"

Chase smiled shyly. "Yeah...actually, I needed some kind of map for this region...most particularly an electronic one with a GPS to more easily navigate."

The professor chuckled. "You sure know what you want, don't you? I'd give one to you, but for some reason, they've been kind of scarce lately...you'd have to pay for one, or work for it."

Chase kept a straight face despite the bad news. He asked quietly, "How much would it cost for one?" At this point, it was necessary for him to talk.

Sycamore thought. "Well, I only have four...they would cost about…" he mentally calculated before saying…

"50,000 pokédollars."

Chase and Belle blinked. "...That much?"

Sycamore nodded. "Yeah, it seems that I gave away a dozen too many." He laughed nervously after that statement.

Chase sighed. "...So I see. Well, thank you anyways. By the way...Ash?" He turned to the young trainer. "Well...how do I say this…? You genuinely surprised me today...so thanks. I'll have to go now so...I guess good luck." He smiled a bit and waved slightly as he walked towards the door.

Ash frowned. "You're leaving? You can come with me and Pikachu. I'm sure we'll be fine without a map anyways. Right?"

Pikachu shook his head and sweatdropped.

Chase noticed this and shook his head, looking slightly worried. "It seems that your partner disagrees...Maybe we'll see each other soon...good bye, and good luck."

Belle smiled and waved. "Froslass!" She really seemed to have enjoyed their company.

Ash smiled and waved back. "Bye you guys! I was awesome hanging out with you!"

The two waved, and walked out the door as Ash turned back to Sycamore. "So is it alright if I see the Pokémon?"

Sycamore nodded. "Of course! Right this way." He led the two to a center room where multiple Pokémon were mingling and playing together, besides the few loners.

Ash gaped at all the Pokémon. "Woah!" He saw so many Pokémon, including a Garchomp and a Froakie, among others. "Is that a Garchomp?"

The Garchomp looked at them and smiled. "Garrr!"

He walked up to the Dragon-Ground Type and petted the Pokémon on its head. Garchomp seemed to enjoy it quite a bit. "Choooomp…"

Sycamore smiled softly. "Yeah, he's been here for quite a long time. In fact, we are actually pretty close as well." He also went to Garchomp and petted it. It seemed to enjoy the attention it was getting…

Ash laughed. "Yeah, looks like it. Me and Pikachu are best buddies, isn't that right Pikachu?"

"Pika!"

Sycamore smiled warmly. "That's wonderful! By the way, where is that other Pikachu of yours?"

Ash looked at him confusedly for a sec before he realized… "Oh, Sora? Yeah, no clue." He scratched his face sheepishly.

Sycamore was about to say something when an explosion took over one part of the area….

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

I finally got this done! XD YEAH!

Don't worry, Chase will come back soon. Very, very soon...he's just disappointed that he couldn't get the map he wanted. :P

Anyways, I hope I portrayed the characters well, and Sora is just somewhere temporarily. Even I don't know where he is. *shrug*

Please review! I'd really appreciate it!

Catch you all later! 'K? :)
