"Ultra Origins! e-chan and Rize!"
By eshonen
After gathering the supplies they needed, Doctor Blissey and her nieces begin treating e-chan's hands, only to find that…
Doctor Blissey: Amazing…simply amazing! OoO
e-chan: What? What's amazing? .o.
Doctor Blissey: You! Your body! I mean, look at your hands!
e-chan: *looks at his hands* what about them? ._.
Doctor Blissey: They were broken…BROKEN! But now they aren't! They're nearly fully healed! We were only gone for about a minute to refresh our supplies and your hands are almost fully healed again, like they weren't crushed in the first place! O_o;;
Rukia, Evie, Quirk and Raine: WHAT!? O_O;;;
e-chan: Oh yeah, that. I've just been a very fast healer ever since my family vacation to the Alola region back home on Earth. ^w^
Doctor Blissey: That's…that's just amazing! Your natural regenerative abilities seem to surpass even that of Pokémon. How is something like this possible?
e-chan: Just spending time in Alola, I suppose. ^3^
Doctor Blissey: Hmm…
*Some screams and protests can be heard approaching the medical bay. When the door opens, some familiar faces to Team Sunheart enters. The first was Angel, now carrying her original two team mates, Pied and Piper, over her shoulders, both now having evolved into Medicham. The second was Rocko and his Hitmonlee team mate, Jack, dragging behind them by the feet their team mate, Annie, who had now evolved into a Lopunny.*
Pied: NOOOOOO! ;O;
Piper: We just had this treatment last month! TTOTT
Angel: Sorry guys, but this has to happen and you know it.
Annie: ROCKO! JACK! Let me go! ;o;
Rocko: It's going to be okay, Annie ^w^
Jack: *nods*
e-chan: Hey guys!
Angel: Hey, it's e-chan and Lucca! ^o^
Rocko: What are you guys here for?
Lucca: Same reason as you, actually… ^^;
Rocko: *notices Rize, Riley and Rukia rubbing their butts* oh… *chuckles nervously* ^^;
Angel: *notices e-chan's swollen, purplish hands* oh my, what's up with your hands!? Are they… *sees e-chan's hand returning to normal* O_O;; healing up by themselves!?
e-chan: *hands completely return to normal* ooh *opens and closes his hands a few times* all better now :D
Rocko: Dude, that's awesome! Were you born with super powers or something!? 8)
e-chan: Nope, quite the opposite, actually. :)
Rocko: Huh? Then how did-?
e-chan: It's a long story… *stomach rumbles* …and I really need some food; I'm super hungry! =O=
Angel: Aw, but I really want to hear that story… -.-;
Rocko: Wait, how about this? Wait for us while our team mates get their treatment, and in return, we'll treat you to meal; you can even pick what we eat! ^w^
e-chan: Really!? Even a big pizza with the works!? *drools a bit*
Rocko: Sure thing. *nods*
e-chan: Alright! ^o^ You've got a deal! :D
Rocko: Great! Then just wait near the entrance for us, okay? :)
e-chan: Right! C'mon team, let's go! ^o^ *dashes out of the medical bay doors*
Rize: e-chan, waaaaaaaait… =o= *chases after e-chan*
*The rest of Team Sunheart follows e-chan and Rize out of the medical bay where they begin their wait in the lobby of the battle club. After waiting for a few minutes, another familiar face comes into the lobby from one of the battle field rooms; it was Batou.*
Batou: e-chan ^w^
e-chan: Batou! ^o^
Batou: I had a feeling I'd run into you here one day; great minds truly do think alike, it seems. ^w^ What brought you here?
e-chan: Wanted to work on the problem area you helped me realize…and we were able improve it a bit more. ^w^ You?
Batou: I wanted to see what my new team mate could do. ^^
e-chan: You already got a new team mate? OoO
Batou: Of course; I'm very diligent with my assignments. ^w^
*Batou's team mates exit the battle field room, each with a glass of Moo-Moo Milk.*
Batou: Ah, there they are. You already know Prince and Claymore, but meet our latest addition: Pearl. ^o^
*An Aron girl wearing exercise clothes stands next to Prince and Claymore, chugging down her Moo-Moo Milk with gusto.*
Aron: *chugging the Moo-Moo Milk* Woo! ^3^ That hit the spot! XD
Prince: *tries to chug down the Moo-Moo Milk but chokes, sputters and coughs comically* Q3
Claymore: O_O; …barbarians; I'm surrounded by barbarians… v.v;
e-chan: Haha, you all look like a fun bunch! :D *stomach growls loudly* ^^;
Batou: Hungry? Want to grab some lunch? ^^
e-chan: You bet! :D
Evie: e-chan, don't you remember?
e-chan: Oh, that's right; I promised both Rocko and Angel that I'd wait for them to get done in the medical bay here. They want to hear about how I'm now able to heal really fast over lunch. ^w^
Batou: You're a fast healer? …does the reason behind that have anything to do with that huge energy you generated last night? w
e-chan: Yes *nods*
Batou: Then I'll wait with you, as I'm quite interested in hearing that story too. ^^
e-chan: ^w^
*After waiting for a few minutes, both Angel, Rocko and their team mates make it to the lobby…with Pied, Piper and Annie still rubbing their butts and crying a little from their treatment. As one big group they all go to the local pizza parlor they all passed by to get to the Battle Club. After getting a big half booth, half table to sit at and ordering one of the biggest pizzas on the menu to feed all of them, it was finally time for e-chan to tell his story…but the first question on everybody's mind was actually e-chan and Rize's seating choice.*
e-chan: *sitting in the booth, happily sipping his sweet tea* ^3^
Rize: *sitting on e-chan's lap, happily sipping her Boston Iced Tea* ^3^
Everybody else at the table: =_=;; …
Rocko: Sooooo…nobody's going to say anything about this, huh?
e-chan: Say anything about what? :3
Rocko: =_= …seriously? Is this just a normal thing for the two of you that you're now just showing everybody suddenly?
e-chan: *looks at Rize and then Rocko* oh this? This is something that Rize and I have always done. ^w^
Rukia: And exactly how did this come about? ._.
e-chan: Well, my parents and Rize's parents were great friends since before we were born, so when we were born we all spent a lot of time together. ^o^
Evie: But how did "this" happen between the two of you?
e-chan: Oh, well, you may not believe this but I wasn't always as healthy as I look right now. I was actually very frail in my younger years.
Angel: You? Frail? O_o;
e-chan: Yeah…
{7 years ago…}
[e-chan: Despite my poor health, I remember how Rize and I would always play together outside in the Lumiose City Park everyday.]
*A young e-chan is trying his best to run after a young Rize who was still a Sentret at the time.*
Rize: *laughs happily* c'mon e-chan; you won't catch me if you're that slow! ^o^
e-chan: *wheezing a bit* Rizeeeeeee, slow down… -o-; *stops to breathe through his inhaler*
Rize: *stops running and turns around to run back and assist e-chan* sorry! Are you okay? Did we overdo it a bit? QnQ
e-chan: *wheezes a bit* I'm okay *coughs*
Rize: Phew…maybe we should head back now? :)
e-chan: Okay -o-
*Both young ones begin their way back home.*
Rize: Um…don't feel bad, e-chan; we got a solid 10 minutes of playtime today. That's 2 more minutes than last time. Y'see, you're getting stronger already. ^^;
e-chan: You really think so?
Rize: Of course; every bit of fresh air and exercise helps. I bet by next week you'll be able to make it for 15 minutes, maybe even 20. ^w^
e-chan: 20 minutes isn't good enough…
Rize: Oh…well… _;
e-chan: I'm not going to stop until I can I match and outlast your energy! :D *coughs a bit* ^^;
Rize: ^w^; You always go full blast, don't you? But if you didn't then you just wouldn't be you, huh? ^w^
e-chan: One day my health will get better and we'll be able to go to the Pokémon Academy together in a few years. And when we graduate, we'll take on the Leagues together.
Rize: ^/w/^ Yeah, that'll be nice; I look forward to it ^u^
*As the two of them go down an alleyway they both encounter a Pokémon that neither of them had ever seen before. She looked lost, injured and clearly wasn't from Earth or even this dimension; her body was white and transparent and could be described as a space jellyfish. She was a Nihilego, an Ultra Beast from Ultra Space.*
e-chan: Oh… OoO *slowly approaches the Nihilego girl*
Rize: e-chan! What are you doing!? You know we're not supposed to talk to strangers when our parents aren't around! OxO;
e-chan: But she's hurt; maybe she needs help. I'd feel bad if I needed help and everyone just ignored me… ._.
Rize: *makes a worried groan* o-okay, let's help her then…
*Both e-chan and Rize confront the Nihilego girl who was slumped down against the wall of the building on the right side of the alley. She quickly notices the two and tries to communicate with them using gestures, much to the confusion of e-chan and Rize. The Nihilego girl was unfortunately a mute and couldn't speak on her own.*
Rize: She's trying to tell us something important. Any ideas, e-chan? _
e-chan: Hmm… *gets and idea* I know! *takes off his backpack, opens it and takes out a notebook and a pen* can you write?
Nihilego girl: *nods her head "yes"*
e-chan: Then here, use this :D *hands the notebook and pen over to her*
Nihilego girl: *takes the notebook and pen then begins writing out what she wanted to say, handing it back to e-chan afterwards*
e-chan: Okay, let's see… "My world has been invaded. I need to deliver a message to the ruler of my world before the invaders reach him. Will you help me?" OoO is this true?
Nihilego girl: *furiously nods her head "yes" to show just how truthful she was being*
e-chan: Okay then, I'll help you in any way that I can! w
Nihilego girl: *looks intently in e-chan's eyes for a few seconds, as if she's searching for something within him, eventually nodding in agreement* … *floats up in the air then opens up her tentacles wide as she hovers towards e-chan*
e-chan: Uhh…what's…going on? ^^;
Rize: e-chan… 8o
Nihilego girl: *totally engulfs e-chan in her body*
Rize: E-CHAN! QxQ;;
e-chan: *struggles violently a for a few moments before calming down*
Rize: Let e-chan go! Let him go now! o *beating her tiny fists against the Nihilego girl*
Marcie: *using e-chan to talk for her* do not fret, this one that you call e-chan will make delivering my message to my ruler a bit easier. My name is Marcie, and I hail from the realm you all call Ultra Space. I shall return him as soon as my world is safe. I must go now before the invaders find out where I escaped to. Farewell~ ^o^ *opens an Ultra Wormhole above her*
Rize: Wait! No! Don't take e-chan! QoQ
Marcie: *flies through the Ultra Wormhole, closing it behind her*
Rize: E-CHAN! ;o;
{Present day}
Pied and Piper: You were abducted by an Ultra Beast!? OoO;
Prince: You've got to be pulling our leg… :/
Pearl: Shut-up, I want to hear how this ends! OwO
Rize: It's true, it really happened.
{7 years ago…}
[Rize: Our families were in a state of panic when they learned what happened to e-chan. We did everything we could to find a lead on Marcie, eventually learning that she was a Nihilego, an Ultra Beast from a realm that is not easy to get to called Ultra Space. We of course did our best to find somebody that could get us there but it was no use. In the end, all we could do was wait and see if Marcie would come true on her promise of bringing e-chan back when her mission was complete. And a week later…e-chan was returned to us…but at a great cost. His health was now in a critical state; we rushed him to the hospital and they managed to get him stabilized. Apparently after being inside of Marcie's body for a week his body was filled with toxins, further weakening his already weak body.]
[e-chan: I don't remember anything that happened during that week. All I remember is being enveloped by Marcie and then being at my front door before fainting then waking up in the hospital.]
[Rize: That's when the doctor came to us…]
*Inside e-chan's hospital room…*
Dr. Mahn: Mr. and Mrs. Cook? Mr. and Mrs. Gale?
e-chan Sr.: Yes?
Don: What is it, Doctor?
Dr. Mahn: I need to speak with you all…
Rize: *hops down from e-chan's bed to join her parents*
Dr. Mahn: *notices Rize, remembering how close she showed she was to e-chan* um, Rize, was it?
Rize: Yes?
Dr. Mahn: Can you do me a favor and stay here with your friend. I'm sure that the first thing he'll want to see after he wakes up is a familiar face. ^w^;
Rize: Oh, Okay… .o.
Dr. Mahn: Good, that's a good girl. Now, it'll be this way…
*Dr. Mahn leaves the room with the Cooks and the Gales right behind him. A few minutes after they leave, e-chan awakens.*
Rize: e-chan?
e-chan: *groans a bit* Rize?
Rize: e-chan! *pounces on e-chan, hugging him tightly* I was so scared! I thought I'd never see you again! WAAAAAAHHHH!
e-chan: R-Rize… *begins to move his arms so that he can hug her back but suddenly has a coughing attack*
Rize: Oh-no, e-chan! *looks around frantically* water, I need water! *sees a pitcher of ice water and some paper cups* there! *hops off of the bed, pours a cup of water then returns to e-chan and gives it to him*
e-chan: *takes the cup of water and drinks it* ah, that's better…hey, are you hot? Because I feel very…hoooooooot… 8P *passes out*
Rize: e-chan! OoO *feels his forehead* Oh-no, he's burning up! Nurse! Nurse!
*Rize rushes out of the room, tracks down a nearby nurse and informs her of what was happening with e-chan. The nurse quickly rushes off to try and stabilize e-chan and Rize follows behind her…until she sees that she was about to pass by Dr. Mahn's office. Breaking away from the nurse, she creeps up to the partially cracked open door and listens in as Dr. Mahn speaks to the Cooks and the Gales.*
Rize: *listening in* …
Honey: So what are you trying to say, Doctor?
Dr. Mahn: I'm saying that there is nothing else that modern medicine can do for your son. His condition wasn't the best before this incident…and now that he has these neurotoxins in his body that we still know next to nothing about, he's…he's just too far gone now.
Honey: Please, there has to be something that-that… ;n;
Dr. Mahn: *shakes his head "no"* I'm sorry, very sorry…
Honey: *bursts out into bitter tears*
Harriet: *hugs Honey tightly, rubbing her back*
Don: *puts his arm over e-chan Sr.'s shoulder in comfort*
e-chan Sr.: …how long…does he have? :(
Dr. Mahn: I'd say about a month at the most.
*Upon hearing this very upsetting news, Rize's little heart practically shatters into pieces; her best friend in the entire world…was going to die. Their dream of going to the Pokémon Academy and taking on the Pokémon Leagues together were never going to happen. She backs away from the door slowly then runs away with tears flowing freely from her eyes. When she gets back, the nurses were just leaving, having worked very fast in getting e-chan stabilized again once his fever set in.*
e-chan: *notices Rize standing in the doorway, crying* Rize? What's wrong? Did something scare you out there?
Rize: *tears stream from her eyes* WAAAAAAHHHH! *runs over to e-chan and hugs him tightly, crying bitterly into his chest*
e-chan: … *reads Rize's body language and pieces together why she was upset from her actions* …it's really bad, isn't it…?
Rize: WAAAAAAAHHHH! *cries even harder*
e-chan: *tears form in his eyes as he begins to cry softly*
Rize: *realizes that she made her friend worry needlessly* ;n; *wipes her tears then climbs onto the bed and sits on e-chan's lap, hugging him warmly*
e-chan: What-What are you doing? O/o;
Rize: I-I don't know; I just thought that this would help you feel better, like hugging a big, fluffy teddy bear. Q/~/Q
e-chan: ._.; … .w. … ^w^ *begins to laugh softly as he embraces Rize*
Rize: What's so funny? Q/~/Q
e-chan: Nothing, nothing…this…this is just what I needed. Thank you, best friend.
Rize: e-chan… ;/w/; *nuzzles up against e-chan while hugging him tightly*
*The two friends stayed like that for several minutes, just enjoying the close company of one another. Soon enough, their parents return to the room and see the scene before them. They take the time to explain the situation to both children without omitting details or lying to them in order to spare feelings, like every responsible parent should. Afterwards, having come to somewhat accept what was about to happen, e-chan Sr. and Honey ask their son a question.*
e-chan Sr.: Son, how about we all go on a vacation together? You, me, your Mom and the Gales?
e-chan: Really? :)
Honey: Yes, sweetheart. Where would you like to go? Just tell us and we'll go there. ;w;
*e-chan thinks for a bit and suddenly he remembers something from just before he fainted at his front door. He remembers hearing the word Alola being said in Marcie's voice over and over again, as if she wanted him to really remember the place for some reason.*
e-chan: Alola…for some reason, I just really want to go to the Alola region…
Rize: Alola?
e-chan Sr.: Okay son, that's what we'll do. Let's get you checked out and back home. Tonight we pack and go to the airport; tomorrow, we arrive in Alola. ^o^
