I do not own anything in this story
I dislike made up stories about characters (by which I mean fanfics) because in my opinion they make fun of the characters
however after seeing if others shared my ideas about characters I realized like TV and video games they may be windows too other dimensions
(ever put your finger hard enough on a computer it gives kind of a portal effect) (like the entrance to Hazy Maze Cave in Super Mario 64 and DS remake)
fanfics may be parallel dimensions to those said dimensions so please if you write a fanfic don't do anything too drastic. If you cant find any of my stories then they have been deleted but don't worry it most likely means it's being updated.(because I have to use notepad)
"So, let me get this straight... So underneath the quicksand was a lake with a Time Gear guarded by Mesprit?" Chatot concludes.
"Yes, but Mesprit attacked us, thinking we were stealing the Time Gears, afterwards none of us had the energy to fend off Grovyle." Eevee replies sadly.
"We didn't find anything In the Eastern Forest. Just an indention in the grass that resembled a Grovyle, Hey Hey!" reports Corphish.
"Nothing at Crystal Cave either..." Sunflora says drooping. "Hmmm... You know, Mesprit and Uxie have a brother who also lives at a hidden lake, perhaps a Time Gear is being guarded there as well." Suggests Dusknoir.
"Bidoof! Are you paying any attention!?" Squawks Chatot. "Wha- Oh! Sorry, I just got so engrossed by this crystal I brought back from the cave, Yup Yup." Bidoof says showing everyone his color changing crystal.
"If it's a hidden lake we're looking for... then maybe just maybe, it's hidden somewhere we've already been, perhaps?" Wonders the Guildmaster.
"I don't know about the other areas, but I think I have an idea on how to find out about Crystal Cave without going there." Dusknoir perks up.
"That'll make things easier, what is it?" Dugtrio asks intrigued. "Well, If it's okay with Bidoof, I'll need to borrow his crystal for a minute." the ghost says looking at the beaver.
"Um... well... uh... okay, if it'll help..." Bidoof says unsurely as he hands the gem to Dusknoir. "Okay, Riolu come here." Dusknoir commands.
"Oh! I get it! You want to see if it'll trigger Riolu's Dimensional Scream!" Eevee deduces. "Trigger the what what?" Loudred asks confused.
"Oh! Riolu can sometimes see the past or future by touching stuff." Eevee explains. "Oh, not this again! Next you'll be telling that silly story about him being a human." Chatot screams in anger.
"Chatot..." Wigglytuff begins disappointed in his partner. "You're really a human!? With an ability like that!?" Everyone gasps as they stare at Riolu.
"Yeah." Replies the aura dog feeling uneasy having all the attention focused on him." Don't be ridiculous! We don't have time to waste with silly fairytales!" Chatot fumes.
"Actually, I believe Riolu and Eevee speak the truth." Dusknoir butts in. "Yes, I was about to say so myself! Shame on you all for doubting your fellow guild members!" Chatot lies as he's convinced of the truth.
"Chatot I think you need to stop talking..." Wigglytuff facepalms. With the commotion out of the way, Dusknoir hands the gem to Riolu. "Well... here goes nothing..." Riolu says reaching out toward the gem.
"Ahh! Riolu Screams taken aback as the gem changes from red to blue to green. "Oh... I probably should've mentioned it will keep changing colors as long as you're touching it." Bidoof explains.
As Riolu's head begins to hurt, he sees a familiar green gecko and an injured blue Pokemon by a lake with crystals.
"You'll never steal the Time Gears..." says the blue Pokemon in pain. "Did you see anything Riolu?" Eevee asks in concern.
"Yeah, I saw Grovyle attacking some blue Pokemon, they looked like Uxie and Mesprit too!" exclaims the blue dog. "That definitely sounds like Azelf." Dusknoir nods.
"Wow, that so cool!" Diglett says in amazement at the power of the dimensional scream. "Ummm one question though... did you see the past or the future?" questions Chimecho.
"Uhhhhh... that's the only thing though... I don't know if what I see is the past or future..." Riolu sighs.
"Well... it might as well be the past..." Dugtrio sighs defeated. "Hold on now, I see reason to believe we still have time." Dusknoir laughs cheerfully.
"How do you figure? Hey Hey!" questions Corphish. "Well for starters, I believe that is the only Time Gear left, and Riolu and Eevee already explained the other reason." the legendary Dusknoir deduces.
"We did?" the brown ball of fluff asks in confusion. "You said Mesprit attacked because of what happened to Uxie correct?" asks the ghost. "Yeah..." Riolu realizes seeing where the ghost is going with this.
"But she didn't say anything about Azelf did she?" Dusknoir continues. "You're right! If Azelf's Time Gear WAS stolen, she would've said her brothers' as Azelf would've contacted her too!" Eevee exclaims perking up as she rushes to Crystal Cave.
"Hey! Eevee, wait for me!" Riolu calls rushing after his partner. As the duo enter the cave, Eevee can't help but gush over all the different colored crystals.
"It's those runts again..." whispers a shadowy figure in hiding.
While Eevee frolics through the multi colored crystals, Riolu is touching them looking for a color changing one.
"I'll hang on to this for later..." Riolu whispers with a smirk as he puts a color changing gem in the bag, watching the ball of fluff admiring all the different kinds of crystals from the corner of his eye.
"Whoa! Riolu check this out!" Eevee says motioning the dog over to three giant crystals. "What's up?" Riolu asks walking up to his partner.
"Aren't these things beautiful?!" Eevee says with her eyes sparkling. "Yeah, they sure are." nods the blue dog. "And check this out! They're just like Bidoof's!" Eevee says touching one of the three crystals.
The crystal Eevee touched changes from orange to purple as she removes her paw.
"You try!" the brown ball of fur says excitedly. " Okay." Riolu replies touching one of the gems.
Suddenly Riolu's mind turns hazy as the Dimensional Scream activates. "So, to open the way forward, we have to make the crystals match Azelf's spirit?" asks a familiar voice.
'It... happened again... Just like at Fogbound Lake, Instead of a vision I heard a voice... Wait...didn't I hear this voice recently other than at Fogbound Lake?' thinks the aura dog lost in thought.
"Riolu? You okay? You zoned out for a second there..." Eevee asks snapping Riolu out of his thoughts.
"It happened again didn't it?" asks the ball of fluff. "Yep, we need to match the crystal's colors with Azelf's spirit." Riolu explains.
"...How'd they figure that out so quickly!?" Grovyle whispers from the shadows as the duo make the crystals blue.
The large crystals then begin firing laser at the center of their triangle, as another cave emerges.
"That must be where Azelf lives." Eevee proclaims. "Yep, let's go." Riolu nods in agreement.
Just as the duo are about to enter the cave, they feel a gust of wind as something whizzes past them.
"Did you see that?" Eevee asks in surprise. "Yep... Grovyle..." Riolu says ready for battle.
"Let's do it!" The duo exclaim nodding in agreement before running after the theif.
"Look, over there! Just like in your vision!" Eevee cries pointing at Grovyle and Azelf in the distance.
The duo make it over to the two just when Grovyle is about to claim the gear when Azelf speaks.
"You'll never steal the Time Gears..." Azelf says as crystals block off the lake as well as the Time Gear.
"Grovyle! You're going down!" Eevee roars approaching the gecko.
"Is that so?" Grovyle smirks as he knocks the girl out with a Quick Attack and Leaf Blade combo.
"Eevee! Are you okay Eves?" Riolu pleads shaking his partner whose laying on the ground.
"Yeah... I'm... Fine..." the ball of fluff replies weakly.
"You're going to pay for what you did to Eve!" Riolu fumes in rage launching an Aura Sphere.
As the Aura Sphere flies toward the gecko, Grovyle uses Bullet Seed, the two attacks evenly matched keeping each other away. Suddenly, the Aura Sphere explodes into nothingness as the Bullet Seed proceeds to knock Riolu out.
"Guess I'll have to finish you off so you won't interfere..." Grovyle says charging at the duo with Leaf Blade, when Dusknoir materializes and intercepts.
"Dusknoir!?" Grovyle exclaims in shock. "It's been a long time, hasn't it Grovyle." Dusknoir snickers. "Oh no you don't, You'll never catch me, and you never will!" Grovyle exclaims using the flash of a Luminious Orb to escape.
"Darn it. He got away again..." Dusknoir sighs before disappearing as the rest of the guild arrives and carries our heroes to safety.
"Whew, that Grovyle sure packs a punch..." Eevee says getting up. "Yeah, talk about a one hit KO." Riolu yawns as they wake up in their room.
"Hey, uh... Riolu?" Eevee says with a blush. "Yeah?" the aura dog asks curiously.
"Earlier, back there... did you call me Eve and Eves?" the ball of fluff questions her blush darkening.
"Um... uh... no... you must've miss heard." Riolu blushes not realizing that those names slipped out.
"Okay, you know you can call me Eve or Eves if you want..." Eevee says sheepishly. "I'll just stick with Eevee." the aura dog replies before heading into the main room.
"Oh good you're awake!" Dusknoir exclaims as he and the other guild members surround them. "Yeah, say Dusknoir... back there it seemed like you and Grovyle knew each other..." Eevee decides to bring up.
"Yeah, what was that about?" Riolu questions curiously. "Well... I guess I can't hide it anymore... Grovyle came from the future to cause the planets paralysis." Dusknoir begins.
"What do you mean?" Loudred yells. "You know how time's been stopped where the Time Gears are removed, well with them all gone, the whole world will be like that." explains the ghost.
"Eeek! Oh My Gosh! You mean there won't be any day or night or anything!?" Sunflora gasps. "Indeed, that's why I've traveled back in time to stop him." Dusknoir continues.
"Well... the last gear is protected by a barrier of crystals... so now what?" Eevee ponders. "Well, Me, Azelf, Uxie, and Mesprit decided to ambush him. We need you to spread the rumor that we're sealing it away." Finishes the ghostly being.
The rest of the day, everyone spreads the rumor around, enough so that Grovyle hears it, but not enough so he becomes suspicious.
Later that night...
"Hmmmm..." Riolu ponders. "Oh no you don't, You'll never catch me, and you never will!... I see awaken Groudon's heart, that lifts the fog, Good job partner...So, to open the way forward, we have to make the crystals match Azelf's spirit?" Riolu remembers as the voices ring in his head.
"Those voices... the ones I heard at Crystal Cave and Fogbound Lake... they belong to Grovyle..." realizes the aura dog. "But why would I help HIM?" Riolu ponders confused as things from framed, blackmailed, being held hostage, and everything in between come to mind.
"Grovyle's got to have the answers I'm looking for..." Riolu whispers as he climbs the guild's exit ladder and heads to Crystal Cave...
