Acknowledgement - Hey guys. I know that I haven't posted a chapter in a while. I was busy with writing my novel. I'm sorry. I'll try to not make this happen again.

Previou sly : I, Amber and Grovyle have travelled to the universe of humans and animals. We have support from Bruce Williams Chambler.

Nintendo sides with us, but can't aid due to their popularity.

Chapter 7 - Life

Don't kill him!

Kill me instead! Leave her! She doesn't know anything. Please! It's my fault.

You don't have to do this! I beg you.

Please stop! I will do anything!

That dream again. I woke up startled on my bed. Why did I get the same dream over and over again? This dream obviously meant something. I mean, getting the same dream over and over again. That's impossible. Anyway, since it was still night, I went back to sleep.

Just after I closed my eyes, I thought I saw a bright light. I opened my eyes to check but the entire room was completely dark. It must've been my imagination.

The next morning was rainy. It was raining heavily outdoors. Anyways, I was the last one to wake up. Everyone else was already awake. Bruce was reading a book. He said, "Ah... . Finally awake. You were having a bad dream, right? You were screaming in your sleep."

I replied, "Yes. Someone was screaming in my dreams."

Bruce said, "I never imagined that pokemons were real, you know. I just knew that they were a story , in the form of a game, tv show, and comic. I found out about this when a Giratina appeared in my dream, claimed to be of another world and told me everything that was going on. He told me that he will send a few pokemon to collect Time Gears and Space Gears. Take this game, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon : Explorers of Sky. I thought that Pokemon was only a game, like this one." Bruce was holding a cartridge in his hand. These have not been invented in our universe's time till now. I saw it in "The Future that does not Exist" universe at Kecleon's Store. This cartridge had a photo on it. On the top was written, "Pokemon Mystery Dungeon : Explorers of Sky". On the bottom was a picture of a Pikachu, a Bayleef, a Charizard, a Prinplup and a Shaymin in its sky form.

Bruce asked me, "Those two are pokemons. I know that. But, who are you? I mean, you look like a human being, but have powers of a pokemon?"

I told him everything about my past. He was fascinated. He said, "Really. This is just the same story of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon : Explorers of Sky. You're telling the truth, right?"

I said, "Yes. I am."

Bruce then said, "Hmm. Maybe, Nintendo knew about your story. Well, they knew about pokemons before Dialga told anyone. Maybe it's because they have developed some sort of technology which let them see the other universes. If that is true, that would be amazing! I wonder if your last remaining universe is also known as a story in this world. And if it is, which story? Will it be the anime story, the main games' story, the side games' story, or the comic book story? Tell me somehow later, alright."

I said, "If I'll get a chance to do so, I will."

Suddenly Amber and Grovyle came in the room and Amber asked me, "What are we going to do now? We should ask for the locations to the Gears. But I don't think that he can understand us."

I said, "What? I just talked to him. He understood me."

Amber said, "What! You can talk to humans without any knowledge of their language. Did you possess one while we were asleep and take its memories?"

I said, "No. I didn't."

Ambee said, "Really. Then this ability must be due to your past. Do you remember that in Illuminous Ruins, you were able to read an unknown language? That, and you being able to talk to humans must be because of your past, right?"

I replied, "Maybe. Maybe not. Look we're here to do a job. Let's just finish it and get outta here."

I turned towards Bruce and asked him, "Bruce, can tell me how many Gears do we need to get and where can we find them?"

Bruce said, "Yeah. That's the problem. You need to find only 1 Gear. It is both Time and Space. But no one knows where it is. The only clue is this." Bruce held out an old, burnt diary. It must be atleast 300 years old. Bruce said, "This diary was written during the American Revolution. It was of an archaeologist in Egypt. On Pg. 36 is written, 'I, Eugene J. Dawson has found an underground Egyptian ruin. Inside it is nothing except inscriptions on walls. The inscriptions show 2 people holding an unknown circular item. The item looks like this.' Look, a Gear is drawn in his diary. This is the only clue of the Gear's location."

I looked at the diary's page. Indeed, a Gear was drawn. I asked Bruce, "Where is this ruin?" Bruce replied, "No one knowns. The only clue of the ruin's place is in another ruin called Apothreca. There, the writings are in 2 different languages. One of them is the hieroglyphs. That language has been decoded. From that we know that that ruin exists. But it's location is written in the other language that no one knows how to read. The only way to read that language is to find Eugene's 2nd diary. And they are in a ruin that no one has ever been inside. That ruin has traps every 2nd step that we take. That's where the diary is. That ruin's name is Tutanishad. Using that diary, we'll be able to decode the words in the ruins of Apothreca, then use the clues given by the inscriptions of the other ruin to find the Gear."

I said, "Alright. Fine. Let's do this. Where do we start?"

Bruce said, "We should go to Cairo, Egypt. From there, we will hire a car, and go to Tutanishad. After months of research, I have found the exact location of the place. Tutanishad has been mentioned in many ancient ruins of Egypt. I took out common information of the ruins from various places and used the knowledge to pinpoint the location."

Grovyle asked, "How will we get there? Through a flight, right?"

Bruce said, "Yes. But since no one can see you, I do not need to get tickets for you three. It is not the tourist season. The plane should be pretty empty. Many people won't be going."

I asked, "Wait, what's a plane?"

Grovyle said, "Oh, right, you don't have your old memories. In this world, and our home world, planes are a means of transport. They fly through the atmosphere at a very high speed through the help of its wings and fans."

I said, "Ok. Sounds kinda dangerous."

Bruce said, "Oh no. It's not if you follow the flight attendants' instructions. Listen to their speeches and announcements all the time. And sit in a corner, from where no one can see the seat belts floating in the air, alright. If possible, I will be there to block your seats from view."

Amber asked, "If possible. What do you mean by if possible?"

Bruce said, "The company fixes your seats when you get the ticket. If there will be space near my seat, you three will sit there. Or if not, then I won't be able to help you three."

We didn't have a choice, due to the flight's rules so we had to agree to the plan.

Bruce lived alone at the house. His mom died when he was 2 and his dad is almost always out on business trips. Bruce is the manager of his dad's company. It is an electronic company named Axel. So, Bruce had permission to go anywhere, without telling his dad.

He had already booked a ticket for Cairo, Egypt. The flight was to leave in 5 hours. Bruce also had taken much money for the trip as he was not taking luggage. We left in 15 minutes.

On the way, I asked Bruce, "What's Egypt like?"

Bruce replied, "Egypt is a country at the border of the Sahara Desert and Mediterranean Sea. So, it's gonna be both very hot, and very cold there. If your leg in the shadow and your gead in the sun, you can get both sunburn and frost bite at the same time. It's not all bad there, though. The place is famous for it's history. The ancient Egyptian civilization is the most mysterious civilization of the world. Much of it's history is lost, but the history that remains is very interesting. We'll be getting a closer look at it when we will be studying it for clues to the Gear."

Grovyle asked, "Do you know how to study all this? I mean like, professionally."

Bruce answered, "Yes. I have majored in archeological studies. The main thing is to not damage the structure. Use a small paintbrush to dig, not a shovel. I will do the decoding part."

Bruce locked the house behind him as we walked out. He opened a car, and we all got in. Bruce said that his family owned a villa in Cairo, so there will be no need for an inn or a hotel.

This universe's Earth is beautiful. I could not view the other universes due to less time, but this time I can. On the way to the airport, we saw many gardens, many different types of people with different cultures, many types of buildings, etc. The variety was unlimited. Unlike our universe, where every pokemon of the same species look almost exactly alike, except the case of shiny pokemon and multiple forms, but that is an exception. In this world, no two people look alike.

Anyway, we reached the airport in 2 hours. We boarded the flight in about another 2 hours. Most of the seats were empty. Only a few rows had passengers. We sat next to Bruce. He told us to put on our seat belts, which we did.

The plane started moving, slowly at first. Then, when it reached the runway, the plane quickly changed speed. It became so fast. It lifted itself up in the air. I felt the heavy push.

I was pretty excited. I saw the buildings getting smaller by the second. I saw the entire city in one view. In a few minutes, we were out of it, and flying above the countryside. After the seat belts sign was turned off, I decided to roam around the plane a little bit.

I took my seat belts off, and jumped on the floor.

What will happen next? How will Rayce, Amber, Grovyle and Bruce find the diary? Stay tuned to find out
