Evo: Guess changing the name worked out fine. Fits a lot better. I believe this story might do just as well with the change but who knows. Although... it's still not the same without her. Disclaimer, I don't own Pokemon. Enjoy the chapter *bows*

Chapter 4

Ren's PoV

Darkrai: "So that's your field report?"

Me: "Yup."

Darkrai: "You snuck into the enemy camp."

Me: "Yup."

Darkrai: "You killed several homicidal Sableye."

Me: "Dead."

Darkrai: "And you gave an item that determines the fate of the world, to a little fox with big fluffy ears and tail."

Me: "Yes, it's all in the report I just said to you."

The dark type pinches his eyes for a moment before grabbing the under part of a table that had our breakfast and drinks on and flips it at full force making it spin several times in midair before crashing. "ARE YOU FUCKING HIGH!?!" The angry mystic pokemon shouts out with great fury. Clearly I fucked up somewhere. "In what sense did you have to mess up this so badly?! Not only did you change the past, but you killed our only lead we had on finding out what this group of rogues are plotting."

"On the bright side, all those children were saved and now lived better lives by now. And about the gem, I gave it to help someone have something to hold on to in life. When I saw her in the flesh, those eyes had the look of a broken soul that lost hope." I replied back defending what I stood for.

He seemed to back off a bit on the amount of lives saved, the information of what we're dealing with and now a new ally to help gather information we need. That vice principal I rescued could be a valuable assistant to us. Allowing me to get anything in their library books, records and a job to help keep my cover. Opening my phone up, I decided to find out exactly where this school is. Typing in the name, I managed to get a hit. It's located East from the outskirts town of ''Post Town''. This was originally a passer by town for adventurers to rest up a bit before continuing.

Judging by this, it seemed to have gotten popular in a little as three years. Saving them must've drawn in a lot of pokemon over those three years for news reports. Another related news, the Pokemon Rescue Explorer Society or PRES, contributed half a million poke to help fund the school education, security and town improvement such as a new rescue branch base called "The Virizion Guild" and new tourist attractions such as a museum that details events that happened a year ago with the "Dungeon phenomenon" they called it that almost engulfed the whole area in a mystery dungeon but was stopped by a team of platinum ranks. Alright that settles it, I'm going to post town. Darkrai Opens another portal up and Also explaining to me that I seriously need to work on my form and fighting in this form. Jumping into yet another goddam wormhole and my face collides with the ground. Ugggghh I hate you, dam thing.

Luna's PoV

Waking up in the guild brought back so many memories. Even just being in this room was enough to remember sleeping next to my partner and all the conversations we had. Tiring not to think on it too much, I made my way to get some breakfast for me and Snow. Entering the main hall of the guild, I found myself in the middle of their morning meeting. I unconsciously stood in line with them where I would have been still like I was still with the guild. Chatot pointed out to me that I was here in line. I felt embarrassed by that and slowly went over to the dinner room. Chimecho greeted me as I walked in to get the gummies and two apples for me and my partner. Been a long time since I had a female friend like her to talk too. She's been by my side the whole time that day when he vanished. There were other girls here but one of them is a gossip female and never shuts up. The other one is Diglett. I always thought Diglett was a boy, not a girl. Gathering up everything I need and placing it on the table. Snow finally joined me in his drowsy state. I had some grass gummies for my breakfast and saved the Apple for later. Snow did the opposite. Eating the Apple and saved the gummies. While we are eating, the guild master himself came over to me and Snow. Still the same old Pokemon that gave me a chance two years ago. He holds out his paw with a letter of a job I might be interested in. Opening it up and reading out loud:

Dear Miss Luna

My name is Principal Ruby of the Pokemon Rescue Academy in Post Town. We would like to offer you a temporary teaching job based on your experience and knowledge of mystery dungeons. I did my research on you, miss hero. Anyone who was able to defeat a legendary Pokemon like Dialga must be very strong and knowledgeable about them. Your partner, Snow, may join you as well as a student with no enrollment fee. Our usual teacher had to retire due to illness. Once a permanent replacement can be found, we will pay you for all the hard work you have done for us.

Sincerely, Principal Ruby.

A Teaching job in post town to help teach young and new explorers and Rescuers about the mystery dungeon? Does sound interesting and Snow could use the education too and maybe he would make some new friends his age. I heard there was a new guild in that town too so I would be staying there or in the school dorms. I do have my notes from when I went around the world. Whenever I enter a new dungeon I write about it and the secrets it holds. Telling the guild master that I'll accept the job. Snow on the other paw, banged his head and moaned something on the table.

"Ugh… hate school." He announces in agony.

I had to giggle at him for that. Definitely a little kid. Going back to our room to grab my bag and map to our new job location. This shouldn't be so bad, right? It's gonna take us a day or two by walking, but luckily for us we have a friend that can fly us there. Heading over to Chimecho upstairs to ask for assistance.

:Moments later:

The wait wasn't so bad. The weather was nice and it gave me time to write in my book. From time to time I write about little things like what happened in the dungeon or how my day went. While waiting outside on the bench in front of the guild for our ride, Snow started to talk about grade school. Even back home he was bullied by others because of his dad messing up on a delivery job. He ate all the food by accident. How could someone screw up that badly? A shadow was cast over us as if something is above. Looking up to see who we believe is our ride, a mighty Noivern. We exchanged greetings and hopped aboard. There are even safety straps to help us stay on in case. Everything is tightened up and ready to take off. Getting off the ground was a bit shaky but once the dragon was high in the air it was smooth flying from then on. The view is incredible, I can see all of the areas that Treasure Town is surrounded by. Even Sharpedo buff looks incredible from up here. I was suddenly grabbed from behind by Snow, clinging for dear life. Seems that he doesn't do so well with heights. I try to reassure him that everything is gonna be ok and we are not in any danger. If I remember correctly on the map, Post Town is located North East from the guild that would take us a few days on foot. Our friendly dragon ride tend to ask us some questions about me and what it was like to me known as a hero. I didn't mind answering some. Been awhile since I talked to anyone but Snow, my clients and guild mates. The dragon type told us that we should be there within a few minutes from now. The once dense forest below us now cuts off into a wasteland and rocky area. The weather was getting hotter by the second. Looking back to Snow to check on his condition since he's an ice type. I was shocked to see his beautiful fluffy fur is getting soaked and damp from all the sweat he's making. I kinda feel bad for him, guess we'll have to find a place for him to wash up. At least the breeze is helping somewhat for the snow fox. Looking over to the horizon, I see something in the distance that looks pawmade. I shake my friend a little bit to gain his attention. "Snow look, we're here."

"Finally!" He replied back as he perked up. The town was in sight, Let's just hope the landing is better than the take off.

Ren's PoV

Ugh, same damn deal. I come out yet another portal, Only to find myself face first into the ground.

"That's it!! I officially hate portals with a passion!!" I yell out in anger not even caring if others are around me.

Getting back up onto my feet, I started brushing off the dirt from my clothes and fur. (So annoying. Now, Where am I this time?) I thought to myself as I looked around the rocky path with a broken bridge and a waterfall towering over it. Walking over to the damage pathway, I can tell an earthquake or another natural disaster ruined this. Looking over the river that flows heavily to see large chunks of the bridge in the water peeking out. Taking a more detailed look, I noticed that if done right, I should be able to jump onto the pillars of rocks to get to the other side easily. Bad news is, one wrong step will end it all. I could go the long way but that seems like a pain. So like any reckless person, I said screw it, I'm jumping. Jumping onto the 1st one just to bounce off of it the second I landed. Skipping to all 12 pillars just to make it safely on the other side. (That was fun, now to get into town.) I thought to myself as I pulled out my map on the phone to see that I'm close by. About a 30min walk from now.

Suddenly, without warning, my vision started to fade in and out. My balanced was thrown off and I fell to the ground. Pictures in my head appeared in a flash but also vanished. The images I've seen I have just forgotten. Memories I held dear are slowly being forgotten. What is going on? Whatever was happening to me passed. Slowly getting up to regain my footing. I look around and somehow forget why I was here. Pulling out my phone that had a journal. After reading it, it started to come back to me. Without further delay, I head to the direction of town.

The walk was boring and uneventful. Battled a few pokemon here and there but all weak power levels. I even trip a couple and they faint. Talk about push over. The scenery around me isn't so bad. Taking a few pictures that caught my eye. Even though I liked fighting, it was photography that was my hobby. Continuing my way down this beaten path, I find myself in a clearing. Finally out of that forest. The map tells me I'm 10mins away from my destination. You know what, let's make it five. Putting a song on and getting into a track runner's starting position, I mentally counted down from three. (3...2...1…Go!) Booking it at high speed, I raced myself to town.i knew I was fast in the dungeon but out here is something else. The wind, the free area, nothing to block or stop me. I feel… free, did I always feel so trapped? Perhaps the loneliness I endured in the human world might have been the cause. All the more reason to recover the memories of my past and to find "Her".

Just when I was in town, a disturbance was taking place at the crossroads sign. I see that a couple of kids are bullying other kids. God, even here huh. The bully's are a mini gang of three. A Sneasel, Scraggy and Litleo. While the victims are Scorbunny, Buneary and a Zorua on the ground who's being kicked by the Scraggy. The dark type looks to be in a lot of pain, while it's friends are being cornered by the other too. I can hear the two saying stop in a feminine voice. Looking back over to the oddly colored Zorua. The little ruff on their species is usually red, but this one's ruff is light blue. I can't stand around and let this happen any longer. Dashing over to the attacker who's still kicking the poor dark type. Appearing from behind with terrifying speed, I karate chop the back of It's neck. Knocking the pokemon out cold in one hit. Grabbing the unconscious body and throwing it to the side. As the body hits the ground, the sound of something falling to the floor alerts everyone to look at me. The other two bully's saw that they're friend was defeated. Looking back at me, readying themselves to fight me. "It's best to take your friend and leave these pokemon alone, unless you want to end up like your buddy here." I say to them as I crack my knuckles.

That got through to them. Taking the unconscious fighting type and booking it. That will teach them. Turning back the the wounded fox, telling it that everything is ok now.

"Yea, I'll be ok now. Thank you." The male fox said back to me.

Both bunnies rushed over to him and helped him up. Both of them thanking me with tears of joy that it's all over now. I introduced myself to them and asked where I could find the School. The Scorbunny came up to me, shyly. "M-my name is Star. The Buneary name is Hop, She's my best friend. And this Zorua here is our leader, he's Shade."

After a friendly greeting and a point in the right direction, we decided to part ways. Their leader needs medical attention. Both the female rabbits and the male fox made their way west into town. I on the other hand, or paw, must go east. Well, I'm almost there. Hopefully those three will be alright. I can tell that trio is very weak. Most likely only in the 10s, while that trio of bullies are able a few levels higher than them. It just gets my blood boiling to see that. I took out a few people who liked to pick on the little guy.

:Moments later:

(This must be the place.) I thought to myself as I look at the big building with the rescue badge emblem on top.

The building itself looks to me like an advantage high school in the human world. Two floors, possibly a basement too, outside court for activities of some sort, and Security, a lot of it. I just remembered why there are so many Magnemites and Magnetons floating around. Even a few Arcanines are with them. Walking up to the gate so I can get checked by security to let me in. I was asked to show a badge of either a Rescuer or Explorer. I was hesitant on showing my old life's badge. Fearing it might blow my cover to any of those who want the hero dead or accuse me of grave robbing. Well, I kind of did robbed my own grave. Showing the badge to the guard, who approved my entry. Getting past all that was easy enough thanks to this old thing. Now I gotta find the Vice principal's office. As I walk these halls, passing through some students, I noticed something on the walls. Pictures and awards for great deeds. One of the pictures I saw was, none other than all the pokemon I saved in the past. That was four years ago I traveled back to, right. I felt a tapping on my shoulder. Turning around to see a Tyranitar. Damn he looks terrifying up close. Not only that I'm feeling uncomfortable being just about the same height as his crotch. It's either I'm short or he's super tall. He asked me if I was a student here. I had to tell this guy honestly and that I was looking for the vice principal here. Offering to guild me to the office, which I happily accept, making our way down the hall.

Bidding farewell to my guild, I entered the office. The room is like any other room. Another door leading to the principal. There is a pokemon at a desk next to the door. I'm starting to think I'm not in the right place because the nameplate on the desk says vice principal but the pokemon is a Mismagius. The ghost type noticed me and floated over to me. The body was all purple and light purple out lines. First time seeing a ghost type, you would think it would be transparent more. I reached out and poked it without thinking ahead. The purple face lite up red from me poking the chest area.

"Umm eh C-could I help you.?" Asked the gentle pokemon in a feminine voice.

I apologize for making her uncomfortable and for my rudeness of randomly poked her. I wanted to know if it's true that I could go through ghosts or not. She shook her head and said, it's ok to be curious about Ghost types.

"I'm looking for a Hattrem. I believe she worked here." I asked the female who's still a bit embarrassed.

It took her a moment to think of said pokemon I'm looking for. Suddenly it all clicked in her mind.

"Oh, you must mean Ruby. Please, this way." She floats over to the door that says principal Ruby on it.

Using her psychic to open the door and announcing that someone wanted to see her. I peek in just a bit to see a tall, witch like pokemon. Even has a hat of a witch and an arm-like tassel that seems to work like one. Using to to hold a tea cup and balancing several other things with psychic. Things like papers, books, and even chests and treasure. Must be the schools, wouldn't make sense it's for them. As I walk in, the pokemon in charge clearly doesn't notice me completely. Taking a sip of her drink, she spoke up and asked me a question.

"So, How can I…" She looks up and paused at the sight of me. Almost as if she's shocked. Dropping everything that her power was holding and letting go of the tea cup. The cup shattered into pieces and juice was spilled all over. "...help ...you? It can't be...Ren?" The witch questioned and said my name. Do I know her? Or could it be?

"Umm Yes, how did you know my name?" I replied back.

She got up and dashed around the desk and towards me like she was a human woman in a dress and high heels. Extending the arm like tassel. The light blue hand wrapped around me and pulled me close to the fairy type. Our body's touch as I'm being swung around like a plushy.

"IT IS YOU!! REN YOUR SAFE!! I GOT SO WORRIED THAT YOU DIED!!" The female shouts with joy, giggling and laughing about.

I felt like I was her lost child that finally came home. All I had was a blank expression with white eyes and didn't bother to move. Moments later she put me down, looking into my eyes. It took her a second to realize I didn't recognize her.

"Oooh I get it. You're confused. Don't worry, it's me. The Hattrem you saved four years ago. I evolved two years ago and got promoted to principal." She pointed out.

Oh, now it's making sense. The four years that went by really did change them. I'm glad to know that they did live better lives. I wonder how the others did in life. The fairy Pokemon calmed down and collected her thoughts. Using her psychic to clean up all the broken glass and all the books that fell. Going back behind the desk and sitting down. All the books were put away and the glass in the trash. "Am I to assume that you are here to ask for help. Am I right?"

Me: "Yea, sorry to trouble you. I need a place where I can work and do some research on some stuff."

Ruby: "Say no more. I already knew you had some sort of an important mission. That day you saved us, I noticed some things that weren't normal by all means. Such as you devolving from Lucario to Riolu." Eyes narrowing at that last comment. This puts me on edge. Did I blow my cover? Or is there a hidden motive? "Relax, I'm not gonna question it any further unless you're willing to share the information. I'm not your enemy in any way. Just curious about who or what you are." She continues to say.

We continued to discuss various things about why am I here and asking for help. Agreeing to help out by honoring the promise to give me a job and complete access to the library and connection to the local guild. Seems that this school and the guild work together in funds and tasks. The school trains and educate newcomers while the guild will provide missions and jobs to students who are ready to gain experience and work for money to pay for room costs. Most of the teachers here are gold rank explorers and rescuers who are either retired or still active. Going over paperwork was a drag, on my profile here I will be a Substitute teacher who will help other instructors. Ruby told me that she swore to protect my secret from anyone, and Mismagius who was apparently in here this whole time and her name is Lucy. (Damn ghost)

Next was living arrangements. Sadly there isn't much space left thanks to all the newcomers, so looks like I'll be sharing a room with someone. She informed me that I will be in the same room with a male vulpix. Which is fine with me. Handing over the key to the room and marking said room on my nav. Time to hit the hay, as they say. I was also handed a few documents and notices that I need to know. After all that is said and done, I made my way to my room. Wonder who this vulpix is gonna be like. Hope he isn't annoying.

Snow's PoV

We finally arrived. It's way too hot. Luna is lucky she isn't an ice type. Whenever we are in bright sunlight area's or when sunny day is used, Luna gets faster. I believe it's due to her chlorophyll ability. Or maybe it's just because of the grass typing. Sometimes it's just hard not to admire my partner's cuteness. Ever since that day she welcomed me as just a normal pokemon, I became more me and open. I couldn't help but find the Leafeon attractive. I don't have any experience with females nor dating. I heard stories of Luna falling in love with a Fire-type named Axel, who died in a horrible twist of fate. From time to time, Luna would tell so of her adventures with him. But I come to realize the more she told, the harder it is to truly move on from his death. It's like she's at the end of a dungeon and she's just trying desperately to find that hidden switch.

"Snow? Are you ok? Bet the heat has finally melted your brain." Snapping out of my deep thought to see a giggling Leafeon teasing me. I push back by rubbing my side against her's. "Ah Snow! Stop it, you're all sweaty. Great, now I need a bath." I giggled back at my whiny partner.

A little bit after all our playful teasing, we got directions to the school. Something I can't stand. Mostly because I did go to school before but thanks to a pack of fire vulpixs that didn't like me because I was a ice type vulpix. Not only that, I was the weakest pokemon in my group. But now things are different. I have a best friend and she is so beautiful. I started to blush just thinking of her nice, slender body, soft fur, lovely eyes, and…

"Thinking about something dirty, are we Snow?" My train of thought was derailed by the very female I was just imagining. Doesn't help at all that my face is bright red now.

"N-n-no!! I am not!" Trying my best to keep my cool.

"Suuuure you're not. Come on, school is just up ahead." She says back to me giggling more and more. Ugh now I am embarrassed…

: Moments later:

After a visit to the principal's office, both me and Luna got our keys to our rooms. due to school rules, male and female dorms are separate so there isn't any funny business. The thought of male and females doing ''that'' is making me feel funny. But if a female would become pregnant at any time, that pokemon along with the father would be expelled. So, in short, Luna is going to the female staff dorms and I'm gonna be sharing a room in the males. I wonder what kind of roommate I'll be having. Honestly not looking forward to it. He's most likely gonna tease or hurt me daily. Looks like I'm gonna have to endure it, for her. Parting ways at the crossroads that lead off to the male and female dorms that are opposite sides on campus, I made my way to my new room. Only to have an uneasy feeling. As I arrived at the door, I started to hesitate.

(What would be the point? Just gonna get bullied again. Well, guess there's no avoiding it.) I thought to myself as I opened the door.

Coming into the room, I can see that the size is pretty good. It's about the same size as of the room in the wigglytuff guild room me and Luna slept in. Wash room is to the left with a tub and bucket of clean water. A special tree branch is over it that pours the water into it. To the right is a prep counter for food making or for packing bags to go out. Going further in, I did fail to notice one thing.

"So, you're my roommate, huh?" My head immediately turns to the source of the voice, being on guard for whatever will happen.

The pokemon in front of me and who I will be sharing this room with, is a Riolu. But something is completely off. His eyes are green with blue spots and wearing weird things with green lines, along with a green and black stripes with a diamond shaped scarf tied to his arm. "So, this is the Vulpix I'll be with."

Me: (Great, here it comes. Nothing will ever change)

Riolu: "I wasn't expecting an Alolan Vulpix to be my roommate. Glad that's a relief. I wouldn't know what to do with a Fire-type as a roommate. Can't stand the heat. Bet you don't either, ya?"

What did he say?! He's glad I'm different and not a red fox? Must be a trick of somesort. But maybe, he's being honest. I asked the doggo if what he said was true. He chuckled at me before answering.

"I'm guessing you have been bullied a lot, right? Yea, it's true. Besides, the coldness your body is giving off is helping greatly. Fair warning, I might just sneak into bed with you to keep cold." He says to me.

I don't know whether to be relieved or scared. I don't want a weirdo sleeping with me. He started to laugh and said he was kidding about that last part. I sigh in relief that he isn't weird but likes to joke. He seems pretty young like me so probably around my age. But I honestly feel like I have seen him somewhere before. The aura fighter jumps off the bed and lands in front of me. "By the way, I don't think we introduced each other yet. My name is Ax-um-Ren, Nice to meet you. Sorry about that. Was thinking of a song that had a name in." The fighting type introduce himself while coughing.

"Oh that's ok. Guess when someone is in your head, you'll bound to say it without realizing it. My name is Snow." I replied back and we both held out our paws to shake them.

He doesn't seem so bad. Maybe we can get along well. Suddenly he started sniffing a lot. Kinda creepy. He came close to me and sniffed my fur. Why is he doing this. Then I remembered one thing.

"Snow, I don't want to sound rude but, you stink. Bath is to the right and some berries to help you smell nice." A blush came to my face when he said that.

I forgot I was a sweaty mess on the ride here. Without saying another word, I awkwardly walked into the bathroom to wash up. Well, at least he's honest. Maybe school here won't be so bad. I wonder how my partner is doing?

: Meanwhile, in the female dorm, bathroom:

Luna: "Aaaah, water feels so lovely. I hope Snow isn't getting into trouble, Silly boy. *Giggles* …..Axel ….I hope you'll continue to watch over me… and Snow.

Evo: Took a bit but it's out. I know I know, I kept changing the name. Sucks Im not good at all with names. But the current name is permanent now. Was trying to figure out a name that could draw more attention uk, since the hearts and follows haven't gone up one since last post. Still gonna continue the story now matter what. Well till next time. *Waves*
