Sometime Later, Wyndon Airport

The Gym Leaders and Leon were with the team as they were all near a private jet Leon had gotten them. The Trainers were in their regular clothes, bags with plenty of medical items, foods, camping equipment, and other such supplies if they needed to rough it in the wilderness.

Nessa was wearing a gray hat, blue jeans with a belt, and a long sleeved shirt with her shoulders and neck being exposed. She also had two long strands of hair in front with the rest of her hair being tied into a bun and two large earrings.

Sonia then gave Nessa a quick hug. "Be careful alright?" Sonia said with a smile.

"Heh. I will, no worries." Nessa said as she returned the gesture.

"Get a room you two!" Gordie said with a smirk.

The two girls then pulled away as they slightly blushed before turning to glare at Gordie.

"Gordie!" Melony yelled.

"S-Sorry! Couldn't help it!" The Rock-Type Gym replied back while chuckling.

"Thanks again for convincing the airport crew to tow my plane to the airstrip Leon." Tails said to the Galar Chairman.

"No problem at all Tails!" Leon said. "It was easier then having a Ditto use Transform."

The Tornado had been moved to where the jet was on one end of the runway.

"I just said that a fan whose an airplane enthusiast that wanted to have some flying practice." Leon said. "I had to make sure to sell it. But Tails will be more then able to take off from here."

"It really does help having friends in high places." Sonic said with a smirk.

"Hey, you guys have your portable PCs on hand?" Sonia questioned.

"Yep!" The Trainers responded.

"Portable PCs?" Sonic questioned.

"It's a portable version of the PCs we use in Pokemon Centers." Gloria said as she showed the two Mobians the device in question. She then booted it up and showed the boxes containing Pokemon she caught. "This way, we can switch out what teams we have on hand easily."

"That's handy." Sonic said. "I admit that storing living beings in computers is strange, but since you guys have the whole energy conversion thing I guess it isn't too out there."

"Eh, you'll get used to it." Hop said.

"Oh yeah I almost forgot!" Tails said as he turned to Rotom Electric. "Hey Rotom Electric, can you see about connecting to their Rotom Phones?"

"BZZZZT! Roger that! BZZZZT!" Rotom Electric said as his mouth was replaced by a loading screen. "Beginning connection..."

The bar quickly filled up as the group's Rotom Phone began receiving new software. "Transfer complete!" Rotom Electric said with a smile.

"What did you have him do?" Marnie questioned.

"I had Rotom Electric send you guys some features I have in my Miles Electric, including the ability to call each other on a secure line, energy detectors, and a Chaos Emerald radar." Tails said. "The radar might be a bit limited due to it being a phone but I think your Rotoms will be able to make it work."

"Really!?" Hop said with a grin on his face. "Ace thinking there!"

"Indeed." Bede said. "This will come in handy if we need to look for the Emeralds ourselves."

Tails then gave Sonia a flash drive. "Here's the information to make your own Emerald radar. You can send this out to the professors in the other regions or someone that has the technical skill to make something like it. Plus I'll send the software that will allow your Rotom Phones and the Porygon Phones to have the same features."

"You got it Tails." Sonia said with a smile on her face.

"So guess that means we can take off now?" Marnie questioned.

"Well you still have a free seat in the Tornado there buddy." Sonic stated while pointing at the plane with his thumb. "Anyone interested?"

"ME!" Both Gloria and Hop yelled at the same time. Both Trainers then turned their heads to each other and glared.

"Guys, I think that a Pokemon Battle right now will take long too long." Victor said. "We need to hurry."

"Rock, Paper, Scissors?" Gloria offered.

"You're on!" Hop said as the two raised one hand each. Victor and Bede sigh in exasperation as Sonic, Nessa, Sonia, and the Gym Leaders chuckled at the sight.

"Rock, Paper, Scissors!" Both yelled as they turned their hands into either gesture, determined to win.


High above the ocean, sometime later...

"WOO-HOO!" Gloria yelled as Tails flew the Tornado around. He pulled off different moves as she held on to her harness and hat to prevent it from flying off of her. Of course, she also had her Corvinknight flying close by if anything fell out so he can grab it.

Tails then spun the Tornado upside down and dove toward the ocean. Gloria was happily screaming as Tails increased the speed. Once he was close enough, he then pulled the nose of the plane up as they were low enough to the ocean to make wakes behind it.

Groups of Lapas, Sharpedos, Mantykes and Mantines, and Tentacool and Tentacruel swam under them as Pelipper, Wingull, and other Flying-Types flew near them or above them.

"This is awesome!" Gloria yelled from her seat.

Tails chuckled at the girl's enthusiasm, he had done similar things for the human friends he and Sonic had made back on Earth but it never stopped being enjoyable.

Suddenly, a Wailord breached into the air in front of them. While they were concerned at the large Pokemon's appearance, it was able to jump high enough for them to pass under it.

"Wow!" Tails said as he flew under the Wailord, its shadow covered them as they flew away before it landed back into the water.

"This is beyond Ace!" Gloria cheered.

"Hey Gloria, you still want to see what the Tornado can do?" Tails said to his passenger.

"Oh yeah!" Gloria said with a big grin on her face.

"Okay, hang on tight!" Tails said as he turned on four small boosters at the rear section of the plane to blast them forward in the climb.

"YEAH-HOO!" Gloria said as she yelled as loud as she could.

"They're certainly having fun." Victor said as he looked at the red biplane from a window in the private jet.

"Man... I still can't believe that I lost to her in rock-paper-scissors." Hop said as he laid back in his chair.

"To be fair, it was only a one win difference..." Victor said. "After you guys went on for nearly half an hour."

"Honestly Hop I'm amazed that you and Gloria were that competitive for a ride in Tails's plane." Marnie said.

"Come on, how often do you have the chance to fly in what is basically an alien plane?" Hop said while putting his arms behind his head. "I really wanted to be the first one to do that."

"Don't worry about it Hop." Sonic said with a smile. "You can ask Tails if you can fly with him when we land in Unova."

"Alright!" Hop said with a grin on his face.

"Still I'm a bit surprised that the Tornado is that capable." Bede said.

"You haven't seen anything yet Bede." Sonic said as he was relaxing in his chair. "Tails has another Tornado that can turn into a combat walker or wheeled vehicle to fight or move around in. Plus he's been working on a transformable jet fighter that can turn into a mech."

The Trainers looked at the Hedgehog with dropped jaws and wide eyes.

"How old is he anyway?" Bede said.

"He's around 11 years old, going on 12." Sonic said with a smirk.

The Trainers looked stunned at the information.

"Well... that's something." Bede said while putting a hand to his chin.

"You guys should come to our world and see his workshop!" Sonic said with a grin. "He's got a lot of cool stuff there."

They shared a bit more small talk as Nessa got off her Rotom Phone and turned to them.

"I let Elesa know we're on our way." Nessa said as she took a sip from a can of Lemonade that was in the fridge. "The jet will take us to Nimbasa airport and we can meet up with her at her gym."

"Assuming of course Leon hasn't already told the Champions, Professors, and other key figures in the other regions." Bede said while looking up articles on his Rotom Phone.

"Lee wouldn't forget something like that Bede!" Hop said. "It's not something he's bad at."

"What is he bad at then?" Sonic questioned.

"Lee is pants with directions." Hop said. "You can hold a map in front of him and he'll end up in the wrong place almost every time."

Sonic laughed at that. "Guess he's the worst at 'Follow the leader' huh?"

"Yeah." Hop said while folding his arms behind his head.

"It will be pretty cool to head over to Unova." Victor said while drinking a bottle of Soda Pop. "I hope that we can get more Trainers in our group to deal with any attack that Eggman throws our way."

"Are there more Trainers like Gym Leaders and Leon?" Sonic questioned.

"There are other strong Trainers besides the Gym Leaders and Champions." Victor stated. "They've actually stopped evil organizations and even gained the respect of the Legendary Pokemon of the various regions."

"Legendary?" Sonic said with a raised eyebrow.

"There incredibly powerful Pokemon with powers that different parts of the world and universe." Bede stated. "In another way, you could consider them deities."

"So you guys have basically gods running around in your world?" Sonic said.

"Pretty much." Marnie said. "Hop and Victor actually have Legendaries in their teams, Zacian and Zamazenta. They were Pokemon that saved the Galar Region in the past."

"Wait, you guys have deities among your Pokemon?" Sonic said with a raised eyebrow toward Hop and Victor.

"Yep!" The purple haired Trainer said with a smile. "Of course it took us having to battle them in Vic's case or calm them down in mine. In a way they tested us and we proved worthy to have them join our teams!"

"So you guys can fight with, catch, and bond with the gods of your world." Sonic stated.

"Pretty much." Hop, Bede, Marnie, and Victor said as Nessa giggled.

Sonic threw up his arms above his shoulders as laid back. "This world is weird." He said.

"I think everyone has their ideas of what is normal and what is weird Sonic." Nessa said with a smile.

"While on that subject, what do you think they are doing about the arrival of Sonic, his friends, and Eggman?" Marnie said.

"Wait, you mean to say that they know about me and the others showing up?" Sonic said with a raised eyebrow.

"Very likely." Victor said.

'I hope that this does not turn into something like what happened with Dark Gaia.' The Hedgehog thought to himself.


Back in Galar

"...And that's the whole situation." Leon said to the people he was speaking with.

He was having a video call with certain people from other Regions. This included Cynthia, Steven, Lance, Iris, Diantha, Professor Oak, and Lusamine.

Most of them were surprised upon hearing what was going on. All of them concerned looks on their faces, especially Lusamine due to her field of study.

"This is incredible." Oak said with hand under his chin. "The Ultra Beasts and the Rainbow Rocket incident has shown that different worlds do exist. Granted the universes where they came from were parallel universes and Sonic and his friends come from an alternate universe. Still this could lead to a new field of study for years."

"I agree wholeheartedly." Steven said with a smile on his face. "Still, this is quite the shocking development."

"Yeah, I can see this being a moment of celebration for us." Leon said before he frowned. "Of course, this First Contact isn't all positive."

"Indeed." Lance stated. "Dr. Eggman, to think that a man could amass such power where he is from and that he uses it for his own gain."

"He reminds me of Colress." Iris stated.

"Yeah, classic 'Mad genius wanting to take over the world' shtick." Leon said while rubbing the back of his head. "He wasn't that much of a problem, but I can image he'll come with more forces and a better plan to deal with us."

"I suppose we should be glad the Gym Leaders found the Emeralds early." Oak said. "Still, this problem will require all hands on deck in order to deal with Eggman quickly."

"I agree." Cynthia said. "I am over in Unova right now in Undella Town so I should be able to fly over to Nimbasa to meet with Sonic and the others. I'll be sure to send word to Sinnoh's Gym Leaders and Elite Four and tell them to be on guard."

The other Champions nodded at that as they would also spread the word.

"I'll be sure to let Elio, Selene, and the others know as well." Lusamine said.

"We'll also have to let the regional defense forces an police groups know about what is happening and coordinate with them to better detect Eggman's next moves." Oak said with a frown on his face.

"Lusamine, I'm guessing you already studied the Emerald you got?" Leon questioned.

"I put the Master Emerald through a few tests." Lusamine stated. "This Chaos energy is quite powerful. If we were to use them for energy production, it could cause a revolution in the industry."

"I get that fact, but from what Tails said to us before we shouldn't mess with them too much. Otherwise it could cause catastrophic damage." Leon said.

"True, I could have easily seen Rose wanting to get them for his purposes and not realizing what could go wrong." Lusamine continued.

Leon frowned at the mention of the man that focused on making energy throughout Galar. To this day, he still wondered why Rose made the Darkest Day happen when he could have held off one day to have the final battle with Victor and then they could have tried something.

"Either way, we need to find out the ship he is operating from and take it down." Iris said with concern in her voice.

"Shouldn't we have found the ship earlier?" Diantha questioned. "Our satellites should have spotted it if it was over the ocean."

"My guess is that he's trying to keep it hidden somewhere and has technology to keep it under the radar." Steven stated.

"Did Sonic state how quickly Eggman could build his forces back up or has the technology at all in his ship?" Lusamine questioned.

"No, but I wouldn't count that idea out." Leon said with a slight frown. "We are dealing with a super genius here, so he could find some method of doing so."

Steven sighed at this. "To think that we would be dealing with a threat from another dimension like Rainbow Rocket. Of course, they were just versions of the enemies we've faced from other dimensions so we had a framework on how they act. This time we'll need to be careful and learn as much as we can in order to defeat Eggman."

"Yeah things are certainly getting interesting." Leon said while leaning back in his chair.

"Lear will no doubt be upset that his tournament will be canceled until this mess is cleared." Cynthia said with a slight smirk.

"Of course, I imagine he would go after Eggman in order to make himself look good." Lance said while smiling.

"Yeah, I bet he'll hate the fact that Eggman upstaged him with his attack!" Iris said while crossing her arms.

"Either way, now is the time that we need to act." Cynthia said with a small smile on her face. "We need to ready ourselves for this newest challenge and work together to overcome it."

"No doubt!" Leon said with a smile on his face. "So let's all give it our all and show Eggman a real champion fight!"

Everyone on the screen nodded at that or spoke in agreement.


Omake: Those Whose Past Changed Them

Poni Island, Alola

Gladion was working on juice made form Oran Berries to help the unconscious being that he had been caring for for a while now. It hadn't yet woken up and his Lycanroc and Silvally were keeping watch, sometimes even switching between the two of them during the night.

He then poured the juice into a thermos and sealed it up. "This should be able to help get him back on his feet." Gladion said. "Then I can get some answers."

"Silvally!"

"Lycan!"

Gladion then heard his partners call out in alarm as he hurried over to them. When he entered the cave, he was met with a serious sight.

His Pokemon were staring down the now awakened being, ready to attack on his word or if the unknown moved first.

"A human?" The black being stated before getting ready to move. "What is a human doing here?"

"Easy, my Pokemon and I aren't going to hurt you." Gladion said in a calm tone.

"Who are you? Where is the Doctor?" The black creature demanded.

"Doctor?" Gladion said. "Look I'm not sure as to who you are talking about, but you need to calm down."

"Why should I listen to you?" Shadow said with a glare.

"Look, while my partners are rearing to go I think that starting a fight here won't help anybody." Gladion said while putting his hands to his hips with a frown.

Both sides stared the other down for a few minutes, the air slowly rising in intensity. Shadow then scoffed and got out of his stance.

"Fine." Shadow said while looking to the side and crossing his arms. "I'll stand down. Now where am I?"

"I can guess that you have no idea where you are." Gladion said.

"Look, I need to go find the nearest G.U.N. base." Shadow said with a growing frown on his face. "Do you know where it is?"

"Haven't heard about this G.U.N. unless you mean the weapon." Gladion answered.

Shadow was a tiny bit concerned by what the young man said.

'I must not be on Mobius anymore.' Shadow thought to himself. 'The attack I made on Eggman's device must have caused a tear in Space-Time that brought me and the others here.

He then scoffed a little at this. 'This will be a major pain.'

"Do you at least know where I am?" Shadow stated.

"You're in Northern Poni Island, one of the four main islands of the Alola Region." Gladion simply said.

"Alola?" Shadow said.

"Its one of the main regions of our world Earth." Gladion stated.

'So this place is also called Earth. It must be an alternate dimension.' Shadow said while thinking for a second.

A brief pause following Gladion speaking until Shadow sighed a little, knowing that he'll need help since he has nowhere to go.

"Alright, it looks like I'll need your help begrudging as it is." Shadow stated. "So what are those creatures with you?"

"They are my Pokemon" Gladion said. "The big one with the fringe is Silvally and the one with red and pale fur and red eyes is Lycanroc."

"I see..." Shadow said as he looks to the side. "So, who are you?"

"Gladion." The emo male said. "You?"

"Shadow, Shadow the Hedgehog." Shadow simply said facing Gladion directly.


At last we have our team off to Unova to start Emerald hunting. However, they'll be running into a few other Trainers while there including another couple.

As for the meeting with Leon and certain individuals, I figured that while the footage of the fight would be out and about by this point (making people aware of Eggman and his forces), Leon could help to better provide the exposition as to what is really going on. The Champions made the most sense for him to tell along with Oak (since he is the most well known professor in the world) and Lusamine (she is at the forefront of other dimensional research).

So now things are getting in motion in terms of tackling Eggman. But expect Eggman to also come up with plans going to forward to get the Emeralds.

As for the conversation about the Legendaries, this ties into the fact that Sonic ran into Mew. Since a good majority of them are in charge of different aspects of reality, they would easily be able to detect something like the phenomena that brought Sonic and co to their Earth along with the Chaos Emeralds.

I'll be sure to tackle a meeting between them in a future Omake, with Mew telling them about his encounter with Sonic.

Also, now Shadow is awake!

I have some plans for him to run into the other game rivals, such as N and Silver down the line. After all, they were characters that were antagonists until they finally opened their eyes and changed for the better much like Shadow himself. So expect there to be some scenes with them.

Anyway, that should be it for right now. See you guys in the next update for any of my stories and the posting of my first series of challenges for you guys.

This is Blazblade, signing off.
