Ok, I've finally got around to writing the next bit, it's been like millions of years, but yes, this is me, writing the next bit of this story.
AN: Thank you everyone who reviewed, Lauren. I'm sorry that Ash's Pokémon were not correct for that period of time, I'm not that clever. Also Ken is not in it because he is still evil, i.e. he is still the Digimon Kaiser, as was mentioned earlier in the story ^__^
Anyways, on with the insanity!
But first a disclaimer: I do not own Pokémon (shock horror), I do not own Digimon (double shock horror), do not sue as it would be pointless, and your case wouldn't stand up in court as I never claimed that these peeps were mine, so ha! (Damn corporate bunnies, thinking they can sue me.) I do, however, own Vay, as she is my own creation.
NOW, on with the insanity!
Last time:
20 minutes later, they were all stood around trying to decide what to do about their situation. Everyone was humming and hawing over it until Kitmon's ears began to swivel. Vay noticed and crouched down beside her.
"What is it?" she asked her little digimon.
"Gennai's coming," was the matter of fact reply she gave as she pointed over Vay's shoulder. And sure enough, when she turned around, there was the old man making his way towards them.
"Gennai, dude!" Davis yelled, as he waved at him.
"Hello everybody," Gennai said as he approached the group. The digi destined explained to the Pokémon trainers that Gennai was a good friend and very helpful to them in the digital world.
"I know about your little predicament," Gennai said with a nod of his head, "and I think I can help, if you'd follow me."
Continuation:
They'd been following Gennai for a short while when Davis began to whine.
"Dude! We've been walking forever!" he wailed, "Will we ever, ever get there?"
Vay glanced at her watch and shook her head. She grabbed Davis's right shoulder.
"10 minutes, 10 lousy minutes, and you're already moaning."
Tai shook his head in disbelief.
"Yolei would kill you," he muttered under his breath.
"We're nearly there Davis, don't worry," Gennai called over his shoulder as he continued to potter forward.
"But how mmph!" Davis began, only to be ambushed by Tai. Tai wrapped his hand over Davis's mouth and dragged him along with the rest of the group.
"This guy is so old," Ash whispered to Kari, "how can we be sure he knows what he's talking about?"
"He knows," a second voice, not Kari's, added. Ash leapt a foot in the air.
"You shouldn't scare people like that Matt, it's not nice to sneak up on people," Kari said matter-of-factly as she continued to follow Gennai.
"I always knew he was the skulking type," Vay said as she glided past Matt. He retaliated by poking her in the side.
"Here we are boys and girls," Gennai said happily as the group came over a rise. There was a large complex spread out at the bottom of the hill.
"This is surreal," Misty exclaimed as she scanned the property below them.
They started to trudge down the hill towards the large building, Pikachu darted ahead of them sniffing things here, and poking things there.
"Geez, it's not that exciting!" Kitmon exclaimed exasperated, as she watched the little yellow blur whiz across the landscape.
"It is if you've never been here before," Gabumon said logically.
"You forget Gabumon," Matt said, "Kitmon does not obey the rules of logic, just like her trainer."
"What are you trying to say?" Vay said sarcastically as she scooped the excited Pikachu into her arms. Matt sighed, exasperated, but decided now was not the best time to be starting this argument off.
They reached the bottom of the hill and made their way inside the large building.
"This is where I work from," Gennai said as they traversed a long corridor.
"And what exactly do you do here sir?" Brock asked politely.
"Well I try and sort out any problems that the digital world may be undergoing."
"I see," Brock said, slightly in awe.
"Don't ask how," Mimi said laughing, "I doubt anyone but Izzy would understand!"
"Izzy…" Ash questioned.
"He's another digi destined," Davis said, "One of the ones who was smart enough not to get sucked into the big, black hole thing."
"So basically, Davis is calling us stupid," Tai said sarcastically.
"You know your stupid when someone like Davis thinks you're stupid," Vay said meaningfully. Tai and Kari laughed, Matt chuckled and Mimi smiled on. Davis, as ever, was oblivious to the joke being made at his expense.
"Here we go, the control room!" Gennai said as he led them through some doors and into a large open room with some sort of large console in the middle.
"PIKA!" Pikachu exclaimed (Pikachu thoughts: wow, look at the size of this place!).
Gennai walked over to the large console. The group gathered around him watching what he was doing. Pikachu's attention was elsewhere as he struggled out of Vay's arms and hopped over her shoulder. Ash watched his small companion. Pikachu ran over to a large glass case and seemed to be looking at something inside it. Ash turned on his heel and followed Pikachu. He reached the glass case and looked inside.
"What is that?" He questioned as he squinted at the object. It appeared to be some kind of green ball that was floating and glowing. Pikachu gazed at it wonderingly.
"What is that boy looking at?" Misty asked loudly. Matt turned around and looked in the direction of Ash. His eyes widened when he saw what he was looking at.
He tapped Vay, who was in front of him, on the shoulder.
"What now?" she growled as she looked at him over her shoulder, "What could you possibly want to torment me with?"
Matt gave her 'the look' before pointing over his shoulder. She leaned around him and looked at where he was pointing.
"EEP!" she squealed, loud enough to make everyone jump. She shoved Matt unceremoniously to the side, and ran towards Ash.
"You're welcome," Matt called after her sarcastically as he regained his balance.
"What is it?" Mimi asked.
"Let's just go and see shall we?" Tai suggested as he ambled over to where Ash, Vay and Pikachu were assembled.
Vay was trying desperately to get into the glass tube.
"Calm down," Gennai laughed, placing a hand on her shoulder.
"I want it!" Vay whined as she hopped from foot to foot.
"All right, hold your horses, I'll open it," Gennai said, as he moved to a panel next to the tube and began to punch in a code.
"Did you have to be so embarrassing?" Kitmon said, a slight blush could be seen from under her black fur.
"Yes," Vay said indignantly, "You know what that is." Kitmon nodded silently and watched as the glass tube opened. Vay reached in and placed her hands around the ball, without touching it. She manoeuvred it out and held in front of her so everyone could see. It hovered and moved slightly.
"What is it?" Misty asked as she stared, mesmerized, by the light.
"This," Vay said as she stared at it, "is my staff."
The Pokémon trainers look puzzled, but the digi-destined just nodded.
"It doesn't look like a staff," Misty commented as she attempted to poke the ball. Vay moved her hands out of Misty's reach.
"Don't poke it, you'll get a nasty shock," Vay said as Misty glared at her.
"She's right though," Brock commented, "it doesn't look like a staff."
Vay sighed and rolled her eyes.
"Well it's not a staff right now is it, it's just a ball of energy," Tai said, a little annoyed. Vay moved the ball over to one hand where it hovered above her palm.
"So… how do you make it a staff then?" Ash asked. Unbeknown to Vay, Misty had crept around behind her and was edging forward with her finger outstretched.
"Well…"
"OWWWWWWWWWWWW!"
"What the!" Vay swung around to see a rather burnt looking Misty.
Vay shook her head, "I told you that it would shock you. I've only met one other person who could hold it and that was Gennai."
"Well how come he can hold it and I can't hold it?" Misty whined as she rubbed her sore frame.
Vay shook her head and sighed again.
"Because you don't have the power of the Protector. I am a Digimon Protector; my staff is how I protect. Gennai can control it because he also protects the digimon."
"Ah," Misty said shortly as she nodded. Ash couldn't contain himself and burst out laughing.
"You should have seen your face Misty, classic!" he chuckled, which earned him a slap upside the head.
"Ouchies," Ash groaned.
"To answer your earlier question Ash, I can turn it into the staff with a simple command, and it will return to the staff form," Vay said, moving the ball back between 2 hands and making it spin around.
"So do it already," Matt said exasperated, "that's obviously what they want to see."
Everyone looked at Mat, shocked at the outburst.
"Is that what you want to see?" Kari asked Ash, placing her hand on his shoulder.
Ash blushed and looked sheepish, "Well… yeah."
Vay shrugged and moved her hands so that the ball stopped spinning.
"Reveal!" she yelled. The ball began to spin fast. It started to elongate and take shape. Vay grabbed it in mid-air and spun it around a little before stopping it. The ball was now a fairly long green staff, with a smallish ball on the top. It had what appeared to be lighter green vines going along it.
"This is my staff," she finished with a grin.
Everyone looked on in awe.
"So what exactly can it do, I've never really seen it in action," Davis commented. (Vay trips a little and sweatdrops.)
"It shots energy of different types, to help quell those nasty rampaging virus types."
"Where does the energy come from?" Mimi asked, twirling a strand of bright pink hair around her finger.
"From me, it's a vessel through which my power can come," Vay said, quite undramatically and without bravado. Everyone stared at her silently for a while.
"Better not get on the bad side of you then, hey," Tai said with a grin as he nudged her in the side with his elbow. Everyone laughed.
"Children, can we please sort out your predicament now, I know it's fun to watch Vay wield her magic, but this is quite important too," Gennai said wisely as he wandered back over to the console. Vay returned the staff to its ball state with a simple command of "enclose" and placed it back into the protective class tube. They all walked back to the console and Gennai.
"Now then, digi destined, were you with the rest of the digi destined before the digital field came and swallowed you?" Gennai asked.
"Is that what it was, a digital field?" Kari asked, amazed.
"It's not like any digital field I've seen," Vay said, crossing her arms.
"This was one sent by the Kaiser, it had evil properties, that why it appeared black, instead of the regular cloudy white," Gennai answered. Vay nodded her head.
"And yes, we were with the others," Matt answered, being the only one who remembered the original question.
"Ooh, clever aren't we?" Tai said sarcastically, earning him a punch in the side. He fell over.
"Did Izzy have his laptop?" Gennai asked.
"Dumb question," Mimi said laughing.
"Yeah, of course," Tai said from the floor, "I saved it from near death earlier."
"Good," Gennai said, nodding, "this means we can contact your world." The digi destined all cheered and shared hi fives and such.
"What about us?" Brock asked, referring to the Pokémon trainers.
"Oh you're easy, you're merely the victims of dimensional shift, I can get you back from here," Gennai answered with a wide smile. The Pokémon people visibly sagged with relief.
"First, you people," Gennai said, turning to the console board and typing rapidly. Everyone watched in anticipation as an image began to form on screen.
"Hello? Who is this?"
The heard the voice come from the fuzzy screen.
"Izzy!" Tai yelped, "Is that you buddy?"
"Tai!?" Came the shocked reply.
"All right! We have contact!" Vay yelled as she gave Matt a hi-five in joy.
Have the trapped digi destined really made contact with their world? Will they be able to get back as easily as Gennai thinks? What's been happening in the real world? And what happened to Team Rocket?
Find out next time!
