Wyndon Stadium

Tails was busy working on his Miles Electric, adding some new functionality to it after working on the Tornado.

"Yamp Yamp!"

Tails was a bit surprised by the appearance of the dog-like Pokemon running up near him and panting with a smile on his face. The fox rolled his eyes and pet Yamper's head.

"Sorry about that Tails, Yamper's usually composed." Sonia said as she brought the yellow fox some curry to eat. "Hope you're not too hungry."

"Thanks Sonia." Tails said as he took some of the spicy hamburger curry and had a few bites. "It's pretty good!"

Sonia giggled at that. "I'm you like it." She said. "So what are you doing?"

"Oh I'm just upgrading my Miles Electric with new features such as a translator for understanding Pokemon speak." Tails said as he worked on the coding in his machine."

"You want to make a Pokemon translator?" Sonia questioned.

"Sonic told me about how Trainers have the ability can understand Pokemon through body language, understanding emotions, and careful observation." Tails stated."I figured it could help if I understand what they're saying..."

"I see. It's been something scientists have tackled for years but they've had problems with making it work." Sonia stated. "But if you think you'll be able to accomplish it, go right ahead."

"You got it." Tails said simply.

Sonia then had a thought cross her mind. "Oh I think I might have something that could help you and the others!"

"Really?" Tails said while tilting his head. "What is it?"

"Be right back!" Sonia said as she ran to the PC in the lobby.

Tails and Yamper looked at each other in confusion, wondering what the young professor was doing.

A few minutes later, Sonia returned witha smile on her face.

"Got what I needed." The young professor said with a smile on her face as she brought up a Poke Ball form her belt.

"What did you get?" Tails said while tilting his head.

"Something that could give your device a boost." Sonia said as she tossed the ball into the air.

In a flash of light, the energy from the ball turned into a small orange being with a lightning bolt on the lower half and a spike on its head. It had two bolts for arms as its big blue eyes lit up with a smile on its face.

"Rotom!" The Electric/Ghost Type cried out.

"Wow." Tails said as Rotom zipped around in the air. "That Pokemon almost looks like the smartphones you guys have."

"That's cause there are Rotom inside of them." Sonia said. "They can do tasks like take pictures without the need of someone holding it up."

"Ah, so that's the reason everyone else's phone look the way they do!" Tails exclaimed.

"I figured that your Miles Electric could be as effective or more so with Rotom's help." Sonia stated. "Plus you'll have some extra help with machines and devices if you need to look them over to make sure they're functioning properly and if you need help hacking."

"Rotom?" The Plasma Pokemon looked at the Miles Electric and flew around it. "Ro! Ro!"

"He wants to go inside of it, if that's alright with you." Sonia said with a small smile on her face.

Tails thought about it for a bit. He had to admit, having something that could use the Miles Electric's scanners and functions when he wasn't holding it might be useful. He was concerned about Eggman hacking in, but having Rotom in addition to the improved security systems could make it near impossible for Eggman to do so.

"Okay, you can go on in." Tails said.

Rotom cheered for joy as it went inside the Miles Electric.

The device soon shook as it flew into the air and glowed. Arms grew out of the sides of the device along with little feet and a spike on top. A Pokeball symbol appeared a spun around as the loading bar quickly filled out.

The two eyes opened up as it spun around.

"BZZZT! Rotom Electric reporting for duty! BZZZT!" The newly christened Rotom Electric said while saluting.

"Wow!" Tails said with a smile on his face. "That's pretty impressive."

"Now Rotom Electric will be able to help out with analyzing the locations of the Emeralds and if you want, can help out with learning about Pokemon or even detecting them." Sonia said while putting her hands on her hips.

"That should be immensely helpful going forward." Tails said. "Are there any other Pokemon that can accomplish something similar with electronics?"

"Well, there's also the Porygon line." Sonia said as she twirled the end of her ponytail. "They're artificial Pokemon that can enter the information super-highway and are used to deal with viruses and other malware. But you can also have them outside of electrics and the internet to play and interact with."

"Whoa." Tails said. "I know a lot about AI but having something like Porygon and its evolutions it pretty wild."

"Trust me, you and Sonic are really going to enjoy learning and seeing other Pokemon in battle and outside of it." Sonia said while putting her hands to her hips. "Though where is our Blue Blur?"


Wild Area

"Whoa..." Sonic said with amazement as he saw out into the Wild Area from where he was standing.

There were scores of wild Pokemon roaming the plains and fields, flying in the sky, and swimming in the lakes and rivers. They came in all different colors, shapes, and sizes and they roamed in groups or interacted with each other. If it wasn't for the fact they had powers and so much variance, this could honestly look like a massive wildlife reserve on Earth.

He had run off from Victor and Gloria to explore the place. Of course, he was going to have a bit of an earful from them, but he was being mindful of any Trainers in the area and that he would hide if he saw them.

For right now though he was doing what he liked best, running around and letting the wind guide him.

Sonic couldn't help but smile as he rushed around the area, passing by Pokemon ranging from Rapidash, Pidgeot, and Electrode.

He actually even waved at some Pokemon, surprising the animals with his speed.

He then saw an Onix in front of him and furthe past the rock snake were berry trees. So he ran up the back of an Onix when it wasn't looking and jumped off its head to get to them. The Rock/Ground Type Pokemon looked around to find who it was that used him as a ramp and was confused about what happened.

He as flew by, he quickly grabbed a few berries from some trees, mainly Oran Berries to snack on. Victor and the others had told him that the berries they used in the curries they and their Pokemon eat were edible for humans, so they might be alright for him. He chomped down on one of them, enjoying the taste of it.

Sonic chuckled at this. "Man this is great." He then breathed in the clean air and let it out slowly. "Kinda wonder what Silver would think of this place. Would be a nice change of pace from his future world."

Sonic then saw what appeared to be a faint glimmer of a beings outline. He squinted his eyes at the glimmer, wanting to see what it looked like.

It appeared to have a long, thin tail and a small body with a large head. It seemed to have noticed the Blue Blur and was flying away at fairly high speeds.

Sonic smirked at the being's speed. He had expected that there could be Pokemon that could give him a literal run for his money and it seemed as if this one maybe one of those challengers. He then chased after the being.

It wasn't even trying to get too far from him. It was as if it wanted to play with the Blue Blur.

"So, you want to play tag huh?" Sonic said with a smile. "Game On."

The invisible being then took off with Sonic following it, heading toward a rocky area.

The being then flew around large rocks with good agility, trying to throw the Hedgehog off. However, Sonic's reaction speeds and jumping allowed him to follow the being as it glowed white for a few seconds. It then shot forward at higher speeds.

"Where ya going?" Sonic said as he used his Figure 8 technique to close the gap. The being then flew over a large grouping of rocks as Sonic jumped after it. He flew for a few miles as the being was looked behind it at him.

He then landed on his feet on a weird gray rock as he dashed forward and tried to grab the being. However, it glowed a bright blue and suddenly disappeared.

"Dang it." Sonic said as he looked around the area. "How come they get to teleport without a Chaos Emerald? Totally unfair."

"Well, I guess I'll get going now." Sonic said as he stretched out his legs. "Maybe I'll be able to find that little guy later."

Sonic then heard that something was rising behind him. It sounded like it was big based on the shaking.

A Steelix was behind him, angered by the fact its sleep was disturbed. It then slammed down its tail on the ground, causing it to shake a little.

"Hey there sleeping beauty!" Sonic said with a wave. "How was your nap?"

"GUGHHHHH!" Steelix roared before it attacked Sonic.


On the Lake's Pier

Nessa sat at the edge of the pier, taking in the sight of Water-Type Pokemon swimming on the water and Flying-Types soaring above. It was a peaceful scene to the Gym Leader.

Nessa then whistled loudly to the lake, the sound being carried across the calm surface.

Soon a column of water appeared as what looked like a water serpent spun around in the air three times before diving back into the water.

The Raging Wave smiled at the sight of the Water-Type Pokemon. It was a long, yellowish-colored serpent with three holes on each side and red antennae with what appeared to be eyebrows flowing from its head like ribbons. Its bottom half was made of red and blue scales with a fin that was made for four scales resembling feathers.

"Good to see you too." Nessa said as she petted the Water-Type Pokemon. "Sorry about not coming to visit for a while, I've been busy."

"Milo." The Tender Pokemon said simply to the Trainer that helped her all those years ago.

"I'm going to need your help. Care to be my new partner?" Nessa said with a smile on her face.

"Milotic!" Milotic said while nodding happily.

Nessa's smile grew bigger and she tossed the Luxury Ball at the Water-Type Pokemon, bouncing off of Milotic's head. The ball then opened up as Milotic turned into a white mass of energy and flew into the ball.

The Luxury Ball shook.

Once...

Twice...

Three times...

It then loudly clicked as a small energy pulse came out, signifying its capture.

Nessa then picked up the ball with a smile on her face and put it on her belt.

She then felt a small tremor on the docks. The Gym Leaders looking around before seeing what appeared to be large dust clouds on the other side of the lake. It appeared as if a strong Pokemon was having a battle with something.

"Pelipper!" She yelled out as she tossed a Pokeball. The Water-Flying Type appeared, flapping its wings.

"Pelipper!" The Pokemon called out.

"We have an issue on the other side of the lake." Nessa said as she got on the back of her partner. "Let's go!"

Pelipper nodded as it flew across the surface of the water as fast as it could.


With Gloria and Victor

Victor and Gloria rode on their bikes, looking for Sonic.

"Man, how hard is it to find a blue Hedgehog!" Gloria said with a frown. "He's the only one here on our world."

"I guess he could be pretty far away by now." Victor said as he jumped off a small dirt ramp. "He is fast enough to move across all of Galar within minutes."

Gloria groaned at that. "I really hope he isn't making us go on a wild Swanna chase."

A sudden Flash Cannon beam appeared in front of them, heading upward from the ground. It came from a more rocky location, a place where Rock, Ground, Steel, and Fighting Type Pokemon usually lived in.

"Whoa!" Gloria said. "Looks like a Steel-Type is going wild!"

"Rotom Phone, can you zoom in on the area?" Victor questioned his sentient device as Rotom jumped from his bike to his phone.

"Got it!" Rotom responded as it flew in front of Victor and zoomed in with its camera. On the screen was a wild Steelix attacking a blue blur avoiding its attacks.

"Sonic's fighting a Steelix?" Victor questioned.

"We should go help him!" Gloria said as she used the boost in her bike to speed to the battle with Victor following her.


With Sonic

"Nice try pal!" Sonic said as he dashed to the side to avoid another Flash Cannon. He then used a Homing attack on its face, causing it to flinch and stopped its rampage for a second.

The Iron Snake was getting pissed off that he couldn't hit the strange creature. It then unleashed Sandstorm to catch Sonic off guard.

"Whoa! I didn't think it could do this!" Sonic said, a bit surprised with the sudden change in the weather.

Steelix then tried to use Wrap to catch Sonic as he was distracted. Sonic luckily was able to get out of the way of the attack and quickly stuck it with a drop kick right between its eyes.

However, he was feeling tiny shocks of pain from the Sandstorm. He frowned at this and came up with an idea.

Sonic then sped up around the hostile Steelix in a circle. Using his figure 8 technique, Sonic was able to create a tornado around Steelix and was also starting to lessen the Sandstorm. Steelix was surprised by the sight of its sandstorm starting to dissipate.

Eventually, the Sandstorm was cancelled out as Sonic stopped in front of Steelix with a smile on his face.

"Is that all you got?" Sonic said while holding his hands out.

Steelix glared at the blue being for a second and swung down its tail. Sonic easily dashed out of the way of the attack, but Steelix knew it would do that.

The Duel-Type Pokemon then used Earthquake to catch him off balance. Sonic stumbled for a bit as Steelix then used Iron Tail on the Blue Blur. Sonic was sent flying from the impact and bounced on the ground a few times before stopping. The Blue Blur soon got back on his feet, feeling the pain of the impact.

"Jeez that smarts!" Sonic said while shaking his head. "I didn't think he could make an actual Earthquake."

Sonic then shot forward with a spin dash, slamming into Steelix's midsection. It moved the Iron Snake Pokemon back, making it more angry. Steelix then opened its mouth, charging up a Flash Cannon.

Sonic easily moved out to of the way of the attack before nailed Steelix with a Homing Attack right between its eyes. This time Steelix wasn't flinching and prepared to fire another Flash Cannon.

"Cheers Sonic! Cavalry's here!"

On his right, Victor and Gloria appeared over a hill and peddled at full speed.

"Nice timing guys!" Sonic said with a grin.

"Inteleon! Use Snipe Shot!" Gloria yelled as she tossed out her Pokeball. The bipedal water lizard leapt into the air and launched a blast of water at the large steel snake. Steelix was knocked back from the power of the attack and fell on its side, the charged up energy dissipating.

"Sonic you alright?" Victor said as he got Cinderace out.

"I'm good." Sonic said nonchalantly. "Big guy got a good hit in but I'm still raring to go."

"Steelix are usually tough Pokemon to tackle." Victor said. "Why is it angry at you?"

"Vic fight now, questions later." Gloria said as the trio and their Pokemon friends stared Steelix down.

"I've got an idea. Can you guys keep it busy for a bit?" Sonic said.

"No problem!" Gloria said while Victor nodded.

"Intelleon use Hydro Pump!" Gloria commanded.

The water lizard fired out a large blast of water from its index finger toward Steelix.

"Cinderace, Double Kick!" Victor commanded.

The fire rabbit quickly dashed toward the Iron Snake Pokemon and leapt up to its head with his strong legs. It then kicked it in the face once, causing it to be knocked back before following up with another on its right side.

Steelix groaned in pain as it faced Cinderace and fired off a quick Flash Cannon at it.

"Dodge it!" Victor yelled as Cinderace jumped into the air. Steelix then tried to leap up and use Iron Tail, but another Snipe Shot from Intelleon nailed it on the left side of its head and knocked it down.

Sonic then began revving up, as if he wanted to use a Spin Dash. However, this time he was gathering energy in orbs that were flying into him.

Cinderace then kicked away Steelix's Iron Tail with Blaze Kick, the impact causing a shockwave that cracked the ground.

"Nice one Ace!" Victor said while smiling. "Now use Pyro Ball!"

Cinderace kicked up a rock, doing its usual moves before kicking the fire ball into the face of Steelix. Steelix roared in pain as Sonic finished his charge, now glowing light blue. He then ran forward toward Steelix as the wild Pokeomn tried to fire another Flash Cannon.

"Let's go!" Sonic yelled as he blasted forward at Steelix using his Light Speed Attack.

Much to the surprise of the Trainers, Sonic turned into a blue bolt, moving at speeds they couldn't believe. Steelix was taking considerable damage that just kept going. Not only was Sonic slamming into Steelix, but he also used the rocks to bounce off of to keep up the attack from multiple directions.

Eventually, the barrage of attacks ended as Sonic landed in front of Steelix. The Iron Snake Pokemon then fell forward with swirls in its eyes.

"Alright we won!" Gloria said while raised a fist in the air.

"Yeah, that was rather easy." Victor said as he walked up to Steelix and used a Max Revive on it. The Steel/Ground Type Pokemon got back up, its earlier anger now gone.

"Now then, off you go. And next time no attacking anyone out of nowhere alright?" Victor said with a smile.

"Steel." The Iron Snake Pokemon said while nodding.

"See ya around big guy!" Sonic said while waving to Steelix.

Sonic sat on the ground with a sigh of relief. "Not gonna lie, that was a bit harder then I thought. That metal snake was tough to fight."

"Yeah, we should have mentioned that Pokemon can make Earthquakes casually." Victor said with a sheepish grin.

"Still though, it was kinda fun." Sonic said while rubbing his nose.

Gloria giggled at the Hedgehog's attitude. "Well, I guess some things even surprise you quite a bit huh Sonic?"

"Yeah, that snake was pretty solid." Sonic said with a smirk.

"HEY GUYS!"

The group turned to the direction of the voice as they Nessa flying in via her Pelipper. As she got close to them, she jumped from her Pokemon, a few feet above the ground and landed gracefully. "So care to explain what all the commotion was over here?"


Looks like things are developing quickly huh?

So yeah, this was a build up to the first big mission for our group of heroes and the good guys starting to organize. This was generally for having interactions between the group and having Sonic and Tails experience a few things in the Pokemon world (mainly Tails using Rotom take over and use electronics and Sonic seeing the Wild Area).

Next time will be when they take off for Unova for real.

If you are curious, the Milotic Nessa caught is the same one she helped as a Feebas and rode on when she was doing her model work in her episode of Twilight Wings.

As for who Sonic was chasing after before running into Steelix, I think you guys already know. Trust me this will come into play soon.

Plus, I did want to show how Sonic would stack up to a Pokemon in a battle. Now before anyone complains, remember that Sonic hasn't seen a ton of what Pokemon could do (i.e. change the weather on a dime and casually make earthquakes) so he was caught off guard to a degree.

So this will help him to a bit more cautious facing Pokemon going forward since they have so many different abilities and moves.

Now there is something I want to say in regards to what's been happening with Pokemon Masters.

With the appearance of Team Rocket (Jessie, James, and Meowth) in the game, which I can only assume it happened due to Hoopa's shenanigans (it can make portals to other dimensions so saying the anime version of the Pokemon world is another dimension that Hoopa can access isn't out of the box for it), it has opened the floodgates for bringing in characters from the Anime.

Will this mean I'll bring in Ash? Maybe. I'll have to come up with something that could make him show up.

After all, it would be interesting for him to meet the game versions of the friends he made and Gym Leaders, Elite Four, and Champions he's met in his world and know how similar yet different they are (like how game Brock is nervous around a lot of women while anime Brock would be all over that and proposing to them all).

Plus I'll have to decide about bring in a few Anime exclusive characters as well. Again, you guys will know when I chose to put them in the chapters to come.

Anyway, that's all for right now. I'll have a set of challenges up soon for you guys to tackle so be ready.

This is Blazblade, signing off.
