To the reviewers:

Dragoness: What can I say except; yes what they find underground will be spectacular. There is plenty of trouble headed their way before they reach the surface. But it will be fun! (At least for you readers.)

Draco the Spirit Dragon: It does seem that they are at the mercy of Veronika, but... well now that I look at it, this is really bad? Meh, there is a way out, but it most likely won't be something you expect.

Gryphaena: Well any changeling or pokémon can use forbidden attacks. However, they have to have learned it by touching an elemental stone, or been born in a family whose ancestors learned it. Artifacts can only be used by humans and changelings, due to the fact they were made to fight pokémon. But unlike stones, most Artifacts must be worn or held to use them. The reason changelings can use both is the fact that they are a mix between human and pokémon. Both stones and Artifacts are leftovers from the ancient war between the latter two species. I hope that answers your question.

Blueraven: I hope that means that you like it...

The Scattered Prospective three chapter five: The first cross part one

"So, that's what you ladies are doing here. It sounds like you have been through a lot since I last saw you." Galador said after listening to the six pokémon in front of him. The group, composing of a celebi, a chikorita, an aipom, a dragonair, a magby and a nidoqueen had explained how they arrived in the small forest on route four. "What do you want me to help you with?" The elf asked confused.

*Well I think that you could pose as our trainer so that no one will try to capture us. At least that's my plan." Avalon responded.

*It'll never work. One, I AM NOT going to get into a pokéball. I rather die before I let that happen. Two, so it's going to look weird for all of us to be walking around if we aren't in a pokéball. And three based on fact one, humans still might try to catch you anyway, * Akito said to the celebi.

*But I can simply fly over you guys, so I won't be seen. And if you stick together no one will second-guess you. Akito, you will have to let Galador hold you because someone might try to take you otherwise, * She responded to the chikorita.

*I have to agree with Akito on this. It's too risky. We should try some other way, * Kerrigan said. The nidoqueen shook her head and said, *It would all depend on luck... *

*No wait it would work. Most Humans aren't imaginative and will accept any explanation that fits their worldview. They won't bother us if we move quickly and with a since of purpose, * Aya piped up. The Aipom was thing hard on the merits of the plan.

*I think we should go with it. After all, the only other choice we have is to go completely around the city, * Kanzellia said agreeing with the plan. *And with that mewtwo lurking about, we need to move as fast as possible, * continued the dragonair.

*And you did promise to help me past the city... * Aegis added. *Besides we have enough firepower among us to blow up the whole city if we wanted, * joked the magby.

"Perhaps, but hopefully that won't become necessary. Let's get going before it becomes to late," Galador said. And with that the group of seven headed to the city, two more reluctant then the others. However just as Aya and Avalon suspected, there was no trouble. A few passer-by's glanced at the group, but with the city home to a major gym no one gave any thought to what they thought was a trainer excising his pokémon. Downtown Cerulean was mostly composed of large skyscrapers interspaced with slightly smaller buildings. It wasn't as developed as Saffron or Celadon, but it had it's own charm. The group tensely kept their guard up as they passed through the area. While looking around, Aegis was temporally distracted by a music story. The little fire type wandered away for a moment, and Kanzellia had to back track to pick him up.

*You have to stay with us, * she gently chided. He was about to respond when they both heard sirens. They both watched in surprise as a black jeep roared around the corner. Chasing the jeep were several police cars. Out of one of the back windows a youth leaned out and took several shots at the pursing vehicles with a handgun. He was a pretty good shot and peppered the engine of one of the cars. Black smoke quickly obscured the drivers view and the car crashed between the two pokémon who nimbly jumped aside at the last moment. Out of the car a woman with blue hair jumped out along with a policeman. She adjusted her brown trench coat. She pulled out a radio, and with an annoyed expression on her face spoke into it.

"This is Special Agent Jenny. We lost them on Waters Boulevard. They were headed west."

"This is central. Officer Biggs and Officer Wedge have stopped the rouge vehicle and the occupants have split up into the surrounding city. They lost them due to the interference of a black pokémon of undetermined type. Be on the look out for..." the radio spat back. But Special Agent Jenny tuned the rest out as she noticed the small fire type backing away from her.

"Hello, what are you doing out here?" She asked. "Magby aren't found in this area."

*Running. Bye! * Aegis said dashing off. With a cry of alarm the policewomen chased after him. Meanwhile Kanzella had departed to find the others. She had hid from the stunned policeman who had exited on her side of the car. Overhearing the broadcast with her sensitive dragon hearing, she knew she had to get the others to help Aegis. The blue orb on her neck flashed and she took off down the street using agility. The blur that was the dragon type stopped two blocks ahead and around the corner. She skidded to a halt when she noticed the others had stopped in front of two youths wearing black and white. By the large red R on their chests she knew what group they belonged two. One of the pair was a girl with a two brown ponytails, and the other was a boy wearing a white uniform with a black cap turned backward on his head. The girl was nuzzling a somewhat uncomfortable Aya, while everyone else was staring with shocked and embarrassed expressions. She noticed Kanzella and dropped the normal type who dashed back and climbed on Galador's shoulder, shaken.

"Oh look Henry, he has a cute dragon with him as well!" The girl squealed. She dashed by everyone and glomped the startled dragonair. She glanced at the others for help.

"What are you doing Ellis? Never mind, I don't want to know. We can take some of the rare pokémon off the idiot for our plan. So get back over here!" The boy exclaimed.

"But there're just so many cuties!" She exclaimed letting go of Kanzella who was staring at her and trying not to laugh. She noticed Akito, who was glaring at her from Galador's arms, and squealed again. She dashed at the pair, but the shinning chikorita jumped away, landing behind her. "Aww! Don't run! I just want to give you a great big hug!"

*That'll be the day human! Ho-oh will come back first! * He spat. Either Ellis didn't notice his hostility, or didn't care because she dove for him. This time he jumped straight up, using vine whip to send her face first into the pavement, sprung on top of Kerrigan's head. *Sorry, to slow. *

"Ellis you're ruining a perfectly evil entrance!" The male rocket teen said exasperated.

"Quiet Henry and help me catch that cuddly chikorita! It'll look so cute with a pink bow!" She yelled back. She then got a dreamy expression in her eyes.

"Um... excuse me Miss, but we have to get going," Galador said nervously. The elf was scared of the girl, thinking her mad.

"Not with out a battle," Henry said pulling out a pokéball.

*I got this one! * Akito said jumping off of Kerrigan. The nidoqueen noticed the dragon type's distress and moved over to her side as Akito walked away.

*What's wrong? * She asked.

*Aegis got chased off by a human and I need Galador to help me, * she responded.

*Well as you can see he's going to be busy for a while. Why don't you find him and lead him back? I don't want to leave since this guy might have an evolved pokémon with him, * the nidoqueen answered back.

*Alright, take care of yourselves! I'll be back! * She said taking off. The wings on the side of her head extended as she flew off.

*See if you can't find Avalon as well! * Kerrigan shouted after her. (We may need some of her firepower before this day is done.)

The celebi had been following the group but had stopped due to sensing something. She glanced down at the wild pokémon confronting the rockets, and after a moment of deep thought flew off in a separate direction. She darted through the streets and buildings, a green blur. She stopped, hovering above a young girl who was hiding in an alley. This is where she sensed... a familiarity. She knew this one was a rocket, but she was undeterred.

Sakara looked out of the alley apprehensively. Ever since that black pokémon had attacker their jeep forcing them to scatter, she had been on her own. She knew the police where searching the area for her and the others, so she had to stay low. A shiver went down her spine as she realized that there was someone behind her. Slowly she turned her head and saw... nothing. A giggle caused her to look up to see Avalon hovering above her. Shocked, she stood speechless as the grass/psychic type floated level with her face.

*Hello! * Avalon cheerfully greeted. Sakara blinked twice, then promptly fainted. *Well that's a first. I never had someone faint with attacking before. * She landed on the girl's stomach and calmly waited for her to wake up. A few moments later the rocket opened her gold-red eyes and simply stared at the sprite on her abdomen.

"Are you real?" She asked nervously, shakily reaching out. Avalon let her brush her cheek.

*As real as it gets. My question to you is have we met? I seem to know you, * She asked.

"I don't think so. I think I would remember meeting someone like you," Sakara answered petting the small pokémon. She stopped as she thought back.

*So I was right. You are a changeling. * She said placing one paw on her chin in thought. *How else could you understand me? * She then broke out in a smile.

"What's a changeling?" Sakara asked getting in a kneeling position. Avalon fluttered in front of her face still smiling.

*Let me show you, * she said mischievously. She put her right paw on Sakara's forehead and her eyes started to glow blue-green. The changeling's eyes started to glow the same color before they closed. Avalon floated away from the girl as white light surrounded her. When it faded a black and sliver celebi stood across from her. Sakara's pokémon form had black circles around her eyes, an onion shaped head, two sliver upward sweeping antenna tipped with black and a lighter sliver upper torso and head, with her lower torso being black. She had long arms with three fingered paws and rounded black feet and small transparent fairy wings. Her red-gold eyes opened as she looked around in awe.

*So that's how you do it, * She whispered. *I remember know. Mom could change like this. She used to do it when dad wasn't home... *

*Well I also planted some things about changelings you should know in you head, * Avalon commented. *So, want to fly? * Sakara nodded and followed, a bit awkward at first, the pure pokémon into the air leaving behind an empty alley. As the two left, a patrol car rolled by, and seeing nothing in the alley passed on.

Henry had thrown his pokéball, releasing his ditto Shifty who changed instantly into a perfect copy of the grass type. "Let's see you beat this one! Shifty, razor leaf!" Henry ordered.

*Right on! * The shape shifter cried. The rocket pokémon jumped in the air in sent a spray of foliage at the enemy grass type who dodged the blades as they cut the ground to shreds. Akito jumped and came down in a body slam, which the other narrowly avoided by leaping aside. Akito predicted this and lashed out in a vine whip as soon as he landed. This nailed the ditto across his left side, sending tumbling across the sidewalk. Shaking his head he stood up, and was promptly tackled. Shifty flipped and landed on his feet and counted with another Razor leaf, forcing Akito back.

"Trip him with vine whip, then nail him with your own body slam!" The ditto nodded once, then sent out two vines at the wily pokémon. As the vines approached Akito smirked.

*THIS ENDS! * He yelled charging sunlight in his whole body. The leaf on his head flipped down, and with a cry he sent a massive solar beam toward Shifty. The powerful grass type attack blasted vines away and hit Shifty dead on. The ditto tried to stand against the force for a few moments, before he was blown head over heels into a stone storefront. Sliding down to the ground, the rocket pokémon shifted back to his true form, defeated. Henry recalled his pokémon in shock. He had never seen a solar beam charged that fast. He shook his head to clear his thoughts, and then pulled out another pokéball. But before he could throw it, he heard sirens. He shrugged, grabbed his partner, who was trying to hug Aya again and ran off.

*Now that he's been dealt with, let's get going. Aegis needs our help, * Kerrigan said.

"Why? What happened?" Galador asked. He was checking on Akito to see if he was hurt.

*I'll explain on the way, * She said charging off. Shrugging he picked up Akito and Aya then followed. Meanwhile Aegis was having trouble ditching Jenny, or more importantly her arcanine. The only advantage he had was the fact his smaller size allowed him passage through some narrow openings. The magby squeezed under a fence leaving his pursuers on the other side. Smirking, he snapped his claws.

*I'd like to see you get past that! You over blown idiots," He snickered. As he sauntered off he heard a roar. A sense of searing heat blew over him as the fire blast flew over his head. He slowly turned and saw the smirking Arcanine and his trainer standing behind the remains of the fence.

"Sear, extreme speed!" Jenny ordered. The fiery canine rushed forward and pounced the magby before he could even move. Just as Aegis was pinned beneath the flaming hound, he grabbed on to the yellow stone around his neck. His eyes blazed yellow as knowledge flowed his mind and his body.

*You aren't going to get me! Plasma Tap! * Aegis yelled. Electric power surged around him centering in his claws, then he grabbed on to the paws pining him down. There was a massive discharge of energy as all of the voltage traveled into the arcanine. With a howl the pokémon was lifted off of the magby and blasted into his trainer by the electric attack. Aegis looked on in awe as both were completely out of it. *Man.... I'm nice. * Smirking he walked away. And that is exactly when Kanzella found him.

*There you are! I've been looking all over for you! * She said worried. She landed next to him and glanced back. *Did you beat her by yourself? *

*Doesn't the evidence speak for itself? I told you I was good, * Aegis answered. Kanzella looked a bit disbelieving, but before she could comment, a voice interrupted.

*Don't flatter yourself kid. If you didn't have that stone, you were a goner, * it said smart-aleckly. Both wild pokémon turned to see a pikachu sitting on top of a garbage can. He had a smirk on his face as he jumped down in front of the two of them.

*Hah! What do you know! I bet I could beat you with out using my element! * Aegis angrily retorted. The electric type shook his head, and the next thing they knew he was behind both of them.

*Kid, I could have blasted you twelve times before you even went once. Now, before Jenny wakes up, I want you two to meet someone. Come on! * He ran off a short distance and when he saw them cautiously following he moved again. A few minutes later the pikachu stopped in front of a statue in Blue Gate Park, in the eastern part of the city. A young man was sitting on the base of the statue, cloud watching. He had black unruly, spiky, hair coming out from under a blue hat, hazel eyes with small black zigzags under them. The man was wearing a red long-sleeved jacket, a black blazer with a gold star pinned on it, blue jeans and red and white sneakers. Smiling the man allowed the pikachu to climb up on his shoulder. He then turned his attention toward both of the pokémon in front of him. Oddly neither wild pokémon felt threatened by this stranger, even though they knew he was a pokémon trainer.

*Who are you? And what do you want with us? * Kanzella asked.

"Someone who would like to help you avoid anymore trouble in this city, which answers both of you questions," The man said with a twinkle in his eyes.

*Are you as strong as I think you are? * Aegis questioned.

"I don't know, how strong do you think I am?" He replied. Before Aegis answered the question the others with Galador, arrived. At the same time, Avalon dropped in. "Ah, good you're all here."

*It's good to see you. I'm glad you got my message. Do you have transport? * Avalon asked. The grass/psychic type landed next to Aegis, resting her wings.

*Who is this guy and why should we trust this human? * Akito asked. Strangely he didn't say this with his usual venom toward humanity.

"I am an old friend of Avalon's. I once helped her out of a bad spot," He said calmly.

*And then I did the same. Soon we kind of made a habit of helping each other, * the celebi continued.

"If you don't trust my words, then how about actions?" He asked as he gestured for them to follow him. The six pokémon and elf followed until they left the park. Sitting on the curb was a truck, big enough to fit all of them inside. "Here's you ticket out of the city."

*I call front seat! * Avalon yelled dragging Akito around to ride shotgun. Everyone else just piled into the back, except the young man with the pikachu, who drove.

"By the way, before we go, what's your name?" Galador asked.

"My friends call me Ash." He answered. The elf nodded trying to remember where he had heard that name before.
