"By the way, where are we going exactly?" White asked, holding onto her cap so that it wouldn't fly away. They had been flying for almost a good 20 minutes so far, boredom being gone by chatting away with the newly met Pokeholders, or Gold to be specific. She learned that the other two weren't exactly the biggest talkers.

"Oh!" Gold turned around, "We're going to our super secret undercover base that we have here in Unova," he snickered.

White raised an eyebrow. "You guys have an undercover base?"

"I doubt Platina would appreciate you calling one of her family mansions you're 'secret undercover base'" Silver chimed in.

"Aww c'mon," he pouted, "Why'd you gotta be a such a fun sucker," He pounced on X, the Charizard's trainer. "Hey X, don't you think Silver is fun sucker right?" Gold asked as he vigorously shook his body by his shoulders.

White swore she barely head a 'Don't touch me' from him, but it was such a soft noise that it almost felt like she didn't hear anything.

The whole thing still tried to process itself in White's head. It was just one normal day when she was on the way to work, bumped into gold then ran into Team Plasma- Paradise. She reminded herself that for some reason, they called themselves Paradise now. Then it was getting kidnapped by them, then meeting other Pokedex Holders.

She remembered that Professor Juniper told them that they weren't the only Dexholders, as there were more. Recalling Black's words of a certain legendary trainer on Mount Silver.

I wonder if he's a Dexholder as well.

"Oh, looks like we're almost there, hold on tight White," Gold advised.

"Huh?" White just braced herself without questioning as X patted the Charizard. With a growl, the pokemon raised it's wings and slowly descended through the clouds. White covered her eyes a bit from the blurry vision caused by the clouds and then something caught her eyes.

"Woah..."

Sitting on the wide ground of green, stood a a big mansion with beautifully styled backyard with small lakes. The backyard wasn't just pretty but it was huge. She swore that a small neighbourhood would still be able to fit in there. The building itself was already big, she didn't even want to imagine how many rooms it must have inside.

The Charizard descended fast and fasted until it eventually reached the ground where White saw a trainer with honey blonde hair waiting for them, standing outside the front door. The trainer had a red bird pokemon flapping it's wings beside her. When they landed, Gold was the first to hop off. White saw the trainer already running towards them.

"Y!" Gold called out, "Glad to know you missed me!" he cheered, opening his arms open. It was like a cliché romantic drama moment where the female lead runs into her man's arms in a loving manner. But instead of a hug, Gold received a punch to the head instead.

"You idiot!" the trainer named Y shouted in anger, "The plan fell off the rails because of you!"

"Fletchling!" the bird pokemon cried out in anger as it started pecking Gold's head as well.

"Ow! Hey stop it!" Gold complained. "For the last time, not much I could do since Paradise got to us first! But hey!" he swiped his hands away, trying to shoo the pokemon away, "at least I got her!"

White just got off the Charizard as she saw Y looking at her. The anger on her face changed to a happy one.

"Oh hi, My name's Yvonne, but everyone here called me Y, it's nice to meet you," she held out her hands. White sweatdropped at the personality change and reluctantly grabbed it.

"Uhh, nice to meet you, I'm-"

"White," Y finished for her, "Don't worry about it, we all know who you are,"

White's eyes directed toward the bird pokemon beside Y.

"Woah, I don't think I've ever seen this pokemon before," she said in awe.

"Fletch!" the pokemon cried.

"Oh this, is Fletchy, my Fletchling and one of my first pokemon," Y intorudced as she stroked Fletchy's feathers.

A question mark appeared over her head. "A...Fletchling?" she pondered.

"Yep, a pokemon native to the Kalos region," Y smiled.

"Kalos?"

It was then White noticed something at the belt Y wore around her waist. A black and red square shaped device. Her eyes widened.

"That's right, I'm a Pokedex Holder from Kalos, and so is that guy over there," Y directed over to X who had just got off the Charizard. He only nodded at her as he tended to the Charizard.

"Anyway it's great to finally meet you White, we're all expecting you,"

"We?" White repeated. Y nodded.

"Yup, c'mon, let's introduce you to the others," she said as she turned around and started walking towards the mansion.

"You'll love it here, this place is huge," Gold beamed as he followed Y to the entrance, followed by X and Silver. White eyed the whole building from top to bottom, and gulped.

Well, here goes nothing she thought to herself as she followed after them.


If the outside was beautiful then she would've known what to expect from the inside, but even with that the interior decorations still exceeded her high expectation. Her eyes were practically sparkling as she walked through one of the many hallways, guided by Y and the others.

"So uhh," White gulped, "How many pokedex holders are out there?"

Y turned back to her, putting her finger on her chin. "Well, including you and Black, there's 17 of us actually, but who knows, there could be more from other regions that we haven't met yet," she answered.

White's eyes widened in shock. "S-Seventeen?" she swore her eyeballs were about to pop out, "T-That many? And besides Black they're all here?"

At that moment, White noticed a moment of hesitation on Y's face.

"Well, almost, all of them, but we'll explain it to you. Right now, let's introduce you to the others," Y said as they all stopped in front of a large door. "Here's the main living room, we all gather here from time to time," she placed her hands on the door's handle. "So are you ready?"

White took a deep breath, taking in all the courage she has to meet her seniors. "Yeah," she nodded.

"Alrighty, then," Y turned the handle, "Meet the other Pokedex Holders!" she opened the door.

And the first thing White saw was that she was greeted was an incoming burst of fire.

"What the-!" Gold yelled as he was unfortunately struck by the fire, the others ducking just in time, with Silver's hand on White's head, avoiding the Flamethrower attack.

"Ruby you idiot I told you to stop taking my measurements when I'm asleep!" A loud, feminine voice yelled.

"You said you wanted a new outfit! How in the world am I supposed to make a new one when I can't measure you without you moving every few seconds!" a boy's voice countered.

"W-Wha...?" White staggered as she saw the almost complete mess of the living room. On each end of the large room, was a spectacled boy with a strange looking hat and a large Swampert beside him and on the other end, was a wild looking girl with a Blaziken.

"Sapphire!" the boy yelled out, "Ask Blaziken to stop shooting fire! Remember this is Platina's place not ours!"

"Don't change the subject!" the girl named Sapphire yelled. It was then White noticed a hint of red on her cheeks. "I'll make sure to teach you a lesson to not go anywhere near me!" she pointed forward as Blaziken shot out fire again.

"Woah!" the boy who's name White assumed was Ruby ducked with his Swampert covering him. His eyes widened when he saw a nearby painting was caught on fire. "Ahhh! Zuzu! Put it out!"

The Swampert nodded as he released a jet of water from it's mouth putting out the fire. Ruby tried to run away but his collar was grabbed by the fast Sapphire who pulled him up in anger.

"You bratty girly brat!" she yelled as their faces were so close that White almost held her breath.

"Will you both STOP FLIRTING ALREADY!" a childish voice boomed throughout the wall. White then saw a couple of sofas sitting in the middle of the room. There was a child on one of them.

The child closed the book in his hands. The Unovan took note of the long blonde hair that reached his shoulders. "If you're both going to kiss then go do it somewhere else damn it,"

Both Ruby's and Sapphire's face turned in an instant.

"We're not going to kiss!" they both yelled at the same time.

"What's with all the ruckus?" White heard as they all turned to see a girl with dark blue hair with a large hat over walking towards them. The girl's eyes widened the moment she saw White.

"Ahhh, you must be White!" she scurried over and grabbed her hands. "My name is Crystal!" she introduced, "but everyone here calls me Kris!" he smiled.

"Whaddup super serious gal," Gold raised his hand. In a flash, the next thing she knew was Crytal's legs already going for Gold's head.

"Ow!" he complained, "What the heck was that for!"

"You? Alone with her in a cell!" Kris barked as she turned to White with a worried look on her face. "He didn't do anything to you did he?" a worried look plastered on her face.

"Uhh, well, no he didn't actually," White reluctantly replied as Kris had a sigh of relief.

"Huh? Why are you treating me like I'm some pervert!" Gold ranted.

"That's because you are," Silver stated.

"Anyway," Kris ignored Gold, "Glad to have you with us White, it's nice to see another pokedex holder." Her face softened, "I just wished I could've met both of the Unovan holders,"

White's eyes widened. Black's smiling face appeared in her mind. That's right, she shouldn't forget why she was here in the first place.

"Yeah, I wish he was here too," White sighed. She felt a hand on her shoulder.

"But that's why you're here," Gold assured, a sneaky grin on his face, "that's why we're all here. As fellow pokedex holders, it's time to help each other,"

"As much as I hate to admit it Gold's right," Silver chimed in. "We're all in this together, not just to save your friend but to stop something else that's much bigger,"

Something...bigger?

Before White could ask, Kris suddenly let out a large scream, catching everyone off guard. The Unovan noticed that the cause was the sight of the once beautiful living room.

"What have you guys done!" Kris ran into the room, shouting at Ruby and Sapphire.

"It was her/him!" they both complained as they pointed fingers at each others. Ruby's eyes then darted towards White.

"Oh, is she one of the Dexholders from Unova?" the boy asked.

"Don't change the subject!" Kris yelled at them. "Clean this place right now!" she shouted with a voice that could be fitting for almost a demon queen. It was strong enough to send shivers down White's spine. Ruby and Sapphire let out a yelp as they quickly ran around, grabbing a broom and a mop, their pokemon assisting them.

"See," Gold whispered, "This is why I call her Super serious gal,"


After witnessing Ruby and Sapphire cleaning the living room at the speed of light (figure of speech), the whole group were sitting down on the sofas with light snacks placed on the table.

Kris gently sipped on her tea. "Well now that that's out of the way, why not you guys introduce yourself first?" she offered.

Ruby nodded. "Nice to meet you White, I'm Ruby," the boy smiled.

"I'm Emerald," the child, Emerald, introduced himself.

Sapphire started standing on the sofa, letting out a fanged grin "And I'm Sapphire! Hey! Are you strong! Let's battle!" she exclaimed.

"Don't stand on the sofa!" Ruby yelled.

"I can do whatever I want!" Sapphire argued back.

White sweatdropped at the sight until Emerald spoke up.

"Please just ignore them," he sighed, "Anyway, the three of us are pokedex holders from the Hoenn Region,"

"The three of you? Even you?" White accidentally let out as a she saw a vein popped out on Emerald's forehead.

"Even me? What? You think I'm too young to be a trainer huh?" his eye twitched.

"N-No that's now what I meant," White straggered, "I was just surprised you know, since you're so...small," she bit his bottom lip.

Ruby, Sapphire and everyone else gulped.

"Small?" he repeated quietly, a tone that made White shivered. "SMALL?!" his voice boomed throughout the room. "So you think I'm small huh?! I'll have you know I've been a pokedex holder far more longer than you are missy! If anything you're the one's that small!" Emerald shouted until Rubby grabbed his body.

"Alright child settle down now no need to yell at our quest," he said, purpose adding fuel to fire.

"Child?!" his eyebrow twitched. "Why you little-"

"SHUT UP!" Y yelled, this time silencing everyone.

Ruby coughed. "Anyway," he continued on, "It's really great to finally meet you,"

"Yeah!" Sapphire added, "Anyway, what title are you?"

White raised an eyebrow. "T-Title?"

"Well you see," Kris started, "The professors from the regions found out that every pokedex holder from each region are, well, I guess you can say particularly skilled in a special area, so we were given titles by the professors who gave us the pokedexes,"

"Really?" White asked, dumbfounded. If this was thing then how come Professor Juniper never explained this to her?"

"Yeah," Kris nodded, "As a kid I'd always learn how to catch pokemon to fill the pokedex so I caught a lot of pokemon during my journey, so Professor Oak gave me the title of Catcher," she pointed to Gold. "He's the Breeder because Gold was raised with so many pokemon that's why he works so well with baby pokemon,"

Gold winked at her.

"And then Silver here is the Exchanger, well because-"

"I just know a lot about trades," Silver interrupted her. White noticed the redhead was giving Kris a look, who then nodded in understanding.

"Yeah, I'm a Flyer," Y continued on, "because I specialize in Sky battles,"

"Sky battles?" White titled her head.

"Oh it's probably rare in Unova but its everywhere in Kalos, it's where you fly with your flying pokemon battle other Sky trainers, I'll teach it to you one day," she grinned, and then turned to X, "and this man of a few words here is called the Loner, and I really wish I was joking," Y sighed.

The Kalosian looked up at her, and nodded, and looked back down on his tea.

I can guess why. White thought as she helped herself to a cookie.

"That's right!" Sapphire trilled. "And my title is Conqueror, because I always make sure to conquer whatever quest I'm on, I once even managed to get all 8 gym badges in 80 days!" she beamed with pride.

"E-Eighty days?" White gasped.

Ruby grabbed Sapphire's head and pushed her down. "And my title is Charmer,"

"Charmer?" White blinked.

"Ruby here competes in Pokemon Contests," Kris explained, "that's why he always prioritizes charms of his pokemon so that can be title I guess,"

"Hey!" he argued, "What do mean 'I guess'!"

"And my title is Calmer," Emerald spoke up, ignoring Ruby as he pulled out an object that looked similar to a gun. At the top of it, it seemed to look like that there was dirt encased in glass. "this is my E-shooter, it shoots out pellets containing dirt from a bunch of different places,"

"Dirt?" White questioned.

"Yeah," he nodded, "If a pokemon remembered the scent or feeling of dirt from it's birthplace, it actually calms down, so Professor Oak gave me the title of Calmer,"

"Woah..." White couldn't help but be in awe. The other pokedex holders around her did so much and were even gifted titles from Professor Oak. But inside of her, a weird feeling enveloped. She and Black went through so much as well, stopping Team Plasma in Unova, going through their ups and downs, but she couldn't help but feel under accomplished in the presence of them.

"So?" Emerald broke her out of her thoughts. "What's your title?"

White gulped. "Um... well you see," she looked up and all she saw were curious eyes peering at her. "I don't exactly have a title,"

Silence filled the void for a good few seconds. Silence that made White's nerves go all over the place. What if they don't accept her as a pokeholder? What if they treat her as just an outsider? Sure they brought her all the way here but she wasn't like them.

She was anything but them.

Just another trainer who watched helplessly when her best friend disappeared right in front of her.

Kris broke the silence. "Oh well, maybe after this ordeal Professor Oak or Juniper will give you a title,"

"Correction," Ruby interrupted, "give you both a title," he placed a hand White's shoulder. "Black deserves one as well, don't you think?" he winked.

White's heart warmed up at the sight. Tears were already on the verge on appearing at her eyes. She had just met these people and barely knew them, yet, they already had hope, so much more than she did.

She took a deep breath, finding it in herself to not let tears fall for now, and let out air.

"Right, we'll-"

Her words were cut off by a large crashing – like noise that instantly caused her to stand up straight.

"What was that!" Panic took over he in the instant, her imagination already leading her to believe that Paradise had found out where they were located at right now. But her imagination faded the moment she saw the faces on the other pokedex holder's faces.

Kris facepalmed. "I already told him not to overdo it, this isn't our home dammit,"

"H-Him?" White cocked her head in confusion.

"C'mon," Gold beckoned as he was already walking to the door, "Let's introduce you to him,"


"Where are we going?" White brought herself to the question after a few minutes of walking in the rather large mansion (or 'secret base' as Gold like to call it).

"Be sure to memorise where this room is," Kris joked, "You'll be coming here a lot,"

"Huh?" they all stopped in front of a large metal door. Gold walked forward a bit and the two doors slid open like elevator doors. And the first thing she saw, was that she found herself on an upper platform, where the lower platform was a large battling field, occupied by two trainer.

"Oh hey guys," White heard as she turned to see two other girls standing on the upper platform, leaning against a railing. One with long brown hair covered by a white hat and the other, long blonde hair by a large straw hat. But White redirected her attention on the battlefield as something caught her eyes.

She saw two pokemon decking it out on the field, one being a large brown pokemon with orange plates covering it's body, going in one row across it with other plates on its arms and legs. It certainly looked strong, being guided by a trainer with orange spiky hair, shouting orders at it.

"R-Rico!" a trainer's voice yelled as his pokemon, a Lucario was flung onto the field.

But it wasn't the pokemon that caught White's attention. Her eyes widened the moment she saw Lucario's trainer, standing on the other side of the field. A familiar faced entered her mind and hearing his voice, she confirmed it.

"H-Him?" she stuttered, seeing the very same boy who she met and battled before at the park.
