Chapter 5: Back in Time

Antiroo: Doing another chapter so soon?

Yep, this is what happens when you're bored a day before a tournament, coincidentally a Pokémon TCG one. Too bad it's with mainly Hoenn Pokémon, and I'm writing a story in Kanto and Johto.

Antiech: Well you don't own Pokémon or you-know-what, so let's go!

*You-know-what is something that I won't spoil the surprise for.

Now that the trainer was back in Johto, he knew that he should give some Apricorns to Kurt so he could get some Poké Balls made. After the defeat of Team Rocket back in Kanto, the boy found a new, different Apricorn in Viridian Forest. This one looked very different from the rest. Instead of being a certain color like red, green, or blue, it was a silver Apricorn. Its silvery outer shell shone in the moonlight when the boy found it, and he knew that he had to show it to Kurt immediately.

"Kurt!" the boy yelled as he ran into Azalea town, "I have to show you something!"

"Ah, my favorite trainer! How's your little brother doing?"

"He's still sad from the loss of his Feraligatr, but he's getting over it." the trainer said, but then remembered why he was there. "Here, look at this."

"My God!" the Poké Ball maker responded, "Where did you find this?"

The trainer told the old man the entire story, including the parts about his Pokémon, and Kurt came to one conclusion: this was one special Apricorn.

"Here, I'll show you how I make these Apricorn Balls, but just this once." he told the boy, "Pull up a chair, and we'll get started."

The first step that Kurt did was to cut each Apricorn in half, remove the pulp, and finally put the pieces back together for later. "Now, plant these seeds out back, I want to see what these Silver Apricorn trees will do." he said. While the young trainer was planting the seeds in the loamy soil behind Kurt's house, Kurt got out enough Poké Ball devices to fill all of the Apricorns that the kid brought.

"All right, the next thing we'll do is cut a laser emitting port opening on each of these shells. Don't cut yourself, these knives are very sharp." After they had done the cutting, and thrown the scraps in the garden for mulch, they began to put the devices in.

"Be very careful, kid, you might get yourself pinched a few times before you can get the hang of doing this, but it'll be all right." They did most of the Apricorns, and then looked at the last remaining one. "You know, that Apricorn's shell reminds me of a Poké Ball that a famous scientist who went by the name of Brown once invented. He said that it was the only thing capable of catching a time travel Pokémon like Celebi, who is said to protect the Ilex Forest. At least it is besides the Master Ball, but that's mostly impossible to get unless you have connections. This so- called Dr. Brown disappeared mysteriously about 30 years ago, just after he said that his experiment was a complete success. What happened to him, we'll never know, but it's fun to wonder..."

The two guys got back to work, completing the new, silver Poké Ball in only five more minutes. "You know, that Brown's Poké Ball was silvery just like this one is," Kurt said, handing the trainer the new Ball, "I wouldn't be surprised if he invented it in his garage like I do."

"Thanks, Kurt, but what should I call this thing?" the trainer asked.

"Call it whatever you want, I don't mind," Kurt replied, "I personally would name it the Flux Ball, after what that Brown guy made, but that's just my opinion."

"All right, Kurt, well, I'll see you when I find some more Apricorns!" the boy said as he walked out the door.

"Good luck finishing your Pokédex!" Kurt yelled after him.

"Wow," the trainer thought as he walked into the Ilex Forest, "A brand new type of Poké Ball. I can't believe I'm so lucky to have discovered this!"

"I sense a strange energy, Psycho." Hot Psycho spoke telepathically to the Mewtwo next to him, "Is it just because I'm not a Psychic type and my senses are messed up because of these new powers?"

"No, H.P., I sense it, too." Psycho replied. "It seems as if there are more of us, just waiting to become one with our group. ESP, Neo, do you sense anything?"

"Yes, Psycho, I do." ESP Psycho thought, "But they're not just here in Johto. They're in other regions as well."

"I can even sense some more like we are near my home in the Orange Islands, guys." Neo Psycho told them, "There seem to be no boundaries to where we can be from."

Suddenly, the forest glowed blue around the trainer, and he heard three loud blasts. While he looked away from the bright light in front of him, an old man with long, silvery-white hair ran out of it with a Celebi following him. "Hey, kid!" he said, grabbing the boy by the shoulders, "You've gotta come back with me!"

"Where?" the boy asked, but his question was answered quickly with "Back to the future!"

"Wait, I don't even know who you are, and what do you mean 'back to the future'?"

"Right, I should have introduced myself first." the man said, "I am Doctor Emmett Brown. Thirty years ago I invented a Poké Ball similar to the one you have in your backpack, and I need your help."

"Wait, need my help with what?"

"I'll explain when we get there!" the doctor said as he sent out a Pokémon, "Here, hop on my Pidgeot and come with me!"

The boy jumped on the large Bird Pokémon and he and the slightly crazy doctor flew away and into Celebi's portal to the future...

Roo: Yay! Cliffhangery!

Antiroo: Does she have to do that every time?

Not necessarily, but she probably will no matter what. Anyway, this is going to be a two-parter, so be prepared for another chapter with Era Psycho.

Princess Aquaech: Next up: The Future.

Platypous: What will the trainer find? Where is Doctor Brown taking him? Do you know how uncontrollable Backieism is? This chapter manifests it perfectly. Don't worry, if you don't know, you'll find out next chapter.

Thanks, and see you in The Future!

Ech: You mean The Past.

Whatever! Thanks for reading this chapter!
