The group was watching the door waiting or Misty's return; she'd left in a rush and not bothering to give any sort of explanation. Ash got bored and began watching T.V. The others joined him when suddenly the door burst open. A crowd of people all dressed in fashionable clothes and looking like a bunch of models walked in. Some walked in with guitars and others walked in with various instruments.
The group looked at them stunned. They all began setting up their instruments and began preparing themselves for a concert. Ash, Tracey, Tai and Sora leant on the back of the sofa looking at the crowd, stunned. Brock's face lit up and he disappeared into the crowd hitting on every female there. Tk, Matt, and Izzy who were surveying the crowd at the p.c paused to look at the huge group that had arrived from nowhere. Mimi and Joe both stood up from the seats on the wall.
"Anybody think?"
"That this has"
"Something to do"
"With?"
"Misty?"
As if on cue, the individual in question strolled in, hands behind her back and discussing something with someone following her. She stopped dead in her tracks and whirled around. She started saying something frantically, making dramatic hand gestures to emphasise her point. The group was watching this, but they couldn't make out what she was saying. Whatever it was, she was feeling very strongly about it. Whoever she was trying to convince, wasn't convinced and she threw her hands up in exasperation. He handed her a backpack. She gave him a glare and disappeared into the crowd.
"Anyone want to explain any of that to me?" Matt asked.
"Well I have some theories but they don't make sense" Izzy replied.
"So what's new?" Tai remarked, smirking.
Izzy shot him a look and was about to open his mouth when a girl appeared in front of them.
"Misty?" they all asked.
"Ok any of you ever mention this again, I will kill you. I mean it" Misty warned.
"You look different"
A pair of black denim pedal pushers replaced Misty's shorts. She was wearing a pretty tight pale blue gypsy top. Her bellybutton was on display, as the top didn't quite reach the pants. A small sliver of her waist was on display in fact. Her red hair which went down to her shoulders, as it had grown, was let loose and her fringe fell over her forward. She was wearing a pair of runners and looked none too pleased.
"What happened? Get attacked by makeover-mon or something?" Sora asked.
"I would love to have that Digimon," Mimi cried.
"What you don't like me anymore?" Palmon asked, sadly.
"Oh Palmon of course I still like you"
"Excuse me, are you ever planning on going to that P.c, since I did my job and ended up like this so that you could?" Misty snapped.
"This was all a distraction?" Joe asked.
"Of course it was a distraction. I wouldn't have done it, if it weren't. Now go!"
"Thanks we owe you one"
"No kidding"
Tai, Matt, Sora, Tk, Kari, Joe, Izzy and Mimi all made a beeline for the small p.c room. Once inside they barricaded themselves inside and the Tai, Matt and Sora each stood by the door just in case someone managed to get in. The others followed Izzy and watched him for a couple minutes, clicking away but soon got bored and began wandering around examining the rooms and the p.c's, Once positive no one would or could come, the three watching the door began looking around as well.
Ash Tracey and Brock were all silent, unable to tear their eyes away from Misty "Can we ask you a question?" Ash asked.
Misty sighed.
"Because I managed to showcase all these acts, he wants me to his personal assistant. I get paid but I have to be a personal assistant and I have to be a presenter for these acts.Grr. And I had to look the part, not my choice by the way"
With that Misty let out another sigh and collapsed onto the long chair nest to Ash.
Brock was looking thoughtful and Ash, Tracey and Misty looked exhausted.
"From what I can see, when those guys showed up. You've been putting yourselves under a lot of pressure"
"It's not that, it's just that we've never had to deal with anything like this. We bit off more than we can chew and I just hope that you know we can balance all these new things and not screw up. We're out of our depth, you know" Misty explained.
"The crowd is getting pretty restless, you gotta go up there" the man in the business suit, the guy they were talking to earlier, told Misty.
"Hey check it out," Tai said.
Everyone's head popped around the door watching Misty walk up on the small stage the Pokemon centre had if there was something important going on. The musical equipment had already been set up. Misty was smiling brightly and placed her two baby fingers in her mouth and let out an ear splitting whistle. The crowd went silent, and looked up at her expectantly.
"Ok, Hi. My names Misty and I'm here to bring you the brightest stars of he century"
The crowd let out a cheer and Misty smiled.
"So please give you biggest warmest welcome to everyone here," Misty yelled.
The crowd roared their approval and a group walked up on the stage. Misty rushed off and collapsed into the sofa again.
"Ok this song is dedicated to Red, I overheard her saying something and this song is for you" the lead singer announced.
Ash, Tracey and Brock all looked at Misty who looked back at them, as bewildered as them. Mimi scrambled over in a rush.
"Great 'coz things aren't confusing enough as it is" Misty murmered.
"Is there a problem?" Brock asked.
"Well no, not as such. It's just that we saw Misty up there and we know that she hated it, and here. It's to show our appreciation. I think it'll give you an edge tonight" Mimi explaining, planting the large pink cowboy hat on Misty's head, who was startled.
Gotta go, it looks great" Mimi cried, running across the centre, trying to force her way through the crowd.
"This ones for you, Red" the group yelled out.
I. . . . . I . . .
I'm in over my head
They wanna try and build me up
So they can tear me down
I wish that I could be back then
But I'm right here and right now
They've taken everything that I have to give and
They say its over but then I'm still her living
I don't know that to do
I think that maybe
I'm in over my head
Stuck in the red
Something they said
Makes me think that
I'm in over my head
Over my head, over my head,over my head
I've got to get away from here
And it couldn't be too soon
Cause I see the stars are new with me
Like rockets to the moon
You take me everywhere that I've never been
Show me the meaning of what I've had to give
I don't what to say
I think that maybe
I'm in over my head
Lying in her bed,
Something she said
It makes me think that
I'm in over my head, over my head, over my head
They've taken everything that I have to give and
They say its over but then I'm still her living
I don't know that to do
I think that maybe
I'm in over my head
Stuck in the red
Something they said
It makes me think that
I'm in over head, over my head, over my head
I'm in over my head
I'm in over my head
I'm in over my head
I'm in over my head
"Man I have got to go to this world more often" Matt remarked, as they listened to the rock music floating through the door.
He looked over and grinned when he saw some of the others dancing away. Tk, Kari,Sora and Tai were all laughing as they danced around the room. Matt got up and only because they were in a different world and it would be a one-time thing, he let his cool exterior drop and joined them.
Mimi joined in and soon by much protest from Joe, they managed to get him involved. Izzy was the only one not dancing because he was busy with the P.c.
A strange yellow ray of light with sparks flying through it shot out from the p.c and Gennai's image appeared.
"Hello Kids" he greeted.
"Gennai" they cried.
"I heard that you have a few questions about this situation" he remarked.
"Maybe a couple"
"First of all. There was a reason you were sent to the ones you have been sent to. It wasn't a fluke. There's something about their spirits that makes them different to anyone else in their world but similar to your spirits. They have great destinies ahead of them too, I know all about their destinies"
"Yeah they become ultimate masters. That's what they say is their destiny. That's all they ever wanted to be" Matt replied.
"Their young and young can be wrong, old can be wrong as well. Down the road, not too far down the road mind you, their paths change. Well they've always been on this path but I guess they see themselves on the path instead of the path they originally assumed they were travelling"
"Hold up. Your saying that they didn't don't accomplish their dreams even after all the work they put into them?" Joe asked.
"They accomplish new dreams, new goals. Things will change for them and that's where their spirits come into it. No they don't accomplish their childhood dreams and yes it's disappointing because they could. They certainly have the potential to be the greatest masters but they won't get a chance. They will learn of their destinies soon and it won't be easy. The tasks ahead will be hard and at times they will get so frustrated they will try to run but they can never run. They can endure it, they are tough enough"
"Could you repeat the stuff you said about paths?" Mimi asked.
"Yeah I didn't get that either" Sora added.
"What I saying was. All this time, battling, collecting badges and basically training, they think that have been one path. This path lead to their dreams and they think they've been on this path since they were old enough to say the word.
But they haven't been on this path, the path that leads to becoming a master. Every trainer in the world is on this path but your friends are not. They're on this other path. They've been on this path since they were born and possible before hand. A path that leads to their destiny and since it's a path to their destiny they are the only ones on the path. That makes it harder as well, being the only ones on the path, being the only ones who have to go on the path. They don't know that their on the destiny path and they assumed they were on the master path but they will learn in time that their on the destiny path as opposed to the masters path but they will try and make their own path that will lead to neither but then that's if you believe you make your own destiny. But strictly, there is no way they can get off the path. Its like there's a huge barbed wire fence around the path," Gennai explained.
Everyone looked bewildered.
"Where did the barbed wire come from?" Tai asked.
"Maybe the master brought it" Sora suggested,
"Is the master boss of all the people on the path?" Matt asked.
"Wouldn't all the people bump into each other?" Mimi asked.
"Yeah why don't all the people on one path go to the other, if there's only three people on it?" Tk asked
"Won't the master let the people off his path?" Kari asked.
"Do these path ever cross or would that cause a paradox of some sort?" Izzy asked.
"I think Gennai's explanation caused a paradox in logic, I didn't understand any of it" Joe complained.
"Oh forget it. I'll put it like this; your friends don't become Pokemon masters they become something different. They're destined for something else"
"What else?"
"I can't tell you. You already know their dreams won't come true. I think they deserve to know more about this than you do. Plus I know you"
"Yeah?"
"Yeah, you'd all start feeling guilty because when you'd see them and you won't be looking at the individuals who helped you. You'll only see the people who won't amount to their dreams"
"But why are we here?" Tai asked.
"Ahh there's the toughie. You've been sent here, well I'd have to explain some other things for you to understand "
The group groaned.
"Anyone else thinking that this guy loves the sound of his own voice?" Sora asked quietly.
"More than anything else in the world by the looks of it" Tai replied.
"Is there something you'd like to share with the group?" Gennai asked, strictly.
Sora and Tai both shook their heads and in meek voices told him
"No Sir"
"Well you remember how there's your world, and the Digital world?" Gennai asked.
An image of two worlds close to each other appeared on the screen of Izzy's laptop
"Well, as I stands. There are more worlds. Quite a few more worlds"
More worlds began appearing on the screen and one world began to light up"
"That's the world you have been transported to, the world you're friends have lived on their whole lives and somehow an evil Digimon named Distremon is trying to destroy. Unable to conquer the Digital world with you guarding it and protecting the world, he managed to open a gate between both worlds. He decided to conquer this world as it too has monsters, some incredibly powerful. Unfortunately these monsters are more easily controlled and so he is trying to destroy this world. I confess that I sent you here to defend this world. It's for the good of all three worlds involved.
You're strong, kids and Digimon but if Distremon comes back to the Digital after capturing the Pokemon world, then he will back with reinforcements. He will have an almost unbeatable army of powerful Pokemon and even weak ones. Thousands of Pokemon and Digimon will be killed in the chaos. Not to mention the humans in the Pokemon world. You're friends will be the first to go, they pose the greatest threat to Distremon. So your friends are destroyed within the first few days of Distremons attacks, then the Digimon could be killed and then possibly you. It is almost impossible to survive an attack from that many powerful creatures, not to mention Distremon being a heck of a Digimon. Then Earth will be destroyed, Digiworld, will be destroyed and the Pokemon world will be destroyed."
A long silence followed Gennai's speach.
"So as you can guess, it's imperative that you stay in this world and fight." Gennai continued.
"Thats great Gennai. Tell us NOW that we have to fight for three worlds sake" Tai yelled, angrily.
"Tai, calm down. We all knew since we learned about us being Digidestined that we would have to fight impossible odds for huge stakes," Sora said, softly.
"You can't expect us to fight for three worlds. It's not possible; you treat worlds like there were matches in a poker game. Its a whole other planet we're fighting for." Matt protested.
"I can't force you and I never once forced you. The Digimon may have but I haven't but take a look out that door."
Everyone peered out the door and saw people laughing and singing and dancing. People were chatting and the group caught sight of Ash and Misty. They were laughing and making up their own dances for a laugh. Misty whirled around an accidently whacked Brock in the side of the head as he was coming up behind and her floored him.
"You want to tell them that you don't want to fight to save their world. If it makes you feel any better they'll help fight. They'll be fighting for their world. You'll die for certain if you don't fight but you'll definitely turn the tide if you do" Gennai explained.
"But how we explain this to them?"
"You'll have to decide that for yourselves. Look at it this way, you got courage, love, friendship, hope, light, reliability, knowledge and sincerity. With all these attributes you should come up with the perfect way of telling them. Maybe you can tell them later but for now enjoy the party. You deserve it and your friends look like they're having fun"
"Brock are you ok?" Misty asked, her voice muffled.
She had a hand clamped firmly over her mouth in an effort to contain her laughter. Brock smirked at her as she gave a sharp tug on her legs. Misty shrieked and grabbed onto Ash. They both ended up toppling onto Brock. Then Brock and Ash looked at each other and grinned, as they each pulled the legs out from under Tracey. All four were laughing as they were sitting on the ground away to the side.
"Hi" Tk said, running over.
"What are you doing?" Kari asked.
"Well my friends couldn't maintain their balance and dragged me down with them"
"Hey you floored me first" Brock objected.
Misty gave him a playful shove and turned her attention back to the others that were approaching them, dragging their feet and staring at the ground avoiding each other's eyes.
Ash, Misty, Brock and Tracey all picked up on this and sat up, looking worried.
"What's going on?" Misty asked cautiously, fear filling her eyes and worry seeping into her voice.
"We have something important to tell you"
To be continued.
Sorry about the delay, I had major exams and our modem was fried.
The group looked at them stunned. They all began setting up their instruments and began preparing themselves for a concert. Ash, Tracey, Tai and Sora leant on the back of the sofa looking at the crowd, stunned. Brock's face lit up and he disappeared into the crowd hitting on every female there.
