To travel between worlds across time and space, I shatter the barriers and create a rift in time and space to build a bridge linking the worlds together.
Once the portal opened the group was magically transported through it. They landed in the cave that Aaron escaped from where he collapsed due to exhaustion of transporting himself as well as four other people.
"Vortex, are you okay?" Brock asked worriedly.
"I'm fine. I just need to rest for a little bit. It's not easy to transport that many people through the void." Aaron told him as Brock leaned him against a wall.
"Once you rest, we'll start moving." Ash said excitedly.
"While I rest, you might want to read the history on the walls." Aaron said pointing around the room before closing his eyes.
May was the first to finish reading and started poking around the cavern until she tripped on something sticking out of the ground. May stood up and picked up the object and dusted it off; it was a badge case with a trainer id card inside of it. May picked up the card and looked at it. "These are Aaron's badges, but who's Aaron?" May looked over at the boy with snow white hair and held up the card. "Vortex is Aaron." May realized putting the badge case and trainer card back where she found it. She walked over to where he was leaning. "Hi, Aaron." She said sitting next to him.
"You found my badge case?" He asked. May nodded her head.
"So why Vortex?" She asked.
"It wasn't my choice. It's just what people started calling me. I don't really like the name, but I live with it." Aaron explained.
"Well, I'll call you Aaron." She said smiling as the others finished reading and walked over to them.
Aaron stood up and pulled down his hood to look each of them in the eye. "Team Plasma is not going to be friendly. They are armed and dangerous. This whole place is dangerous that is why it's crucial to share a strong bond with your Pokémon. There is a chance that one or more of us will not survive. Our goal is to stop them from using this place for their evil purposes. When I infiltrated their main castle, I could see plans for capturing several legendary Pokémon. I don't know what they would do with them, but I do know that it would be incredibly dangerous whatever it is."
"We won't let them hurt any Pokémon." Ash said making a fist.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go." Brock said calling out his Onix. May called out her Combusken and her Squirtle before Aaron started walking with them to the cavern's exit.
"That's it." Aaron said pointing to the large white castle in the distance. "It's heavily guarded, so get ready to fight." Aaron told them as he started jumping from rock formation to rock formation.
"Wait up." Ash said jumping from the rocks as well while the others followed.
They all ducked behind a boulder looking at the guards at the main gate. "Pikachu, let's take them down." Ash smiled as he ran out from behind the boulder giving away their location.
"Ash, you can't just run in without a strategy." Aaron told him as he grabbed his staff shooting blasts of purple lightning while the guards repeatedly fired their blasters at them.
"Strategy just doesn't work for me." Ash said as his Pikachu started attacking the guards. Aaron took a hit from one of the blasters falling on to his knee. "Aaron, are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Aaron said standing up and blasting the guards with purple lightning and rendering them unconscious. "Let's keep moving before more of them show up." Aaron said as the others followed him in to the castle. They entered the castle which appeared to be built on one of the lower, larger rock formations. They walked through the castle halls knocking out every guard that they saw; sadly they forgot to notice the security cameras watching them.
When they got to the throne room, N was not there. In his place was a screen with his face on it. "So Vortex has friends. Amusing." He chuckled.
"His name is Aaron." May said trying to stand up for him.
This just made N laugh more. "I don't really care. Either way you've fallen in to a trap." N said snapping his fingers and several guards surrounded them. "And to make it more interesting." He snapped his fingers once more as part of the floor opened up revealing the abyss of the Lost Plane below. "I don't really know where this goes or how long you'll fall, but it will certainly be fun to watch." N said smiling as the screen vanished.
The guards started firing at them while the trainers and their Pokémon attacked back. "Onix, rock tomb!" Brock shouted which caused several boulders to fall on to the guards who vanished from the force of the boulders.
"Combusken, flamethrower. Squirtle, use ice beam." May called out as the Pokémon fired off their attacks simultaneously creating a combination that devastated several of the guards. Aaron was using the power of his Xatu as he blew the guards back, levitated them in to the air, and disarmed them. Ash and his Pikachu were working side by side as his Pikachu fired off repeated thunderbolts.
Sadly, no matter how many guards they took out, more seemed to constantly show up. "We need to get out of here. We'll die in here." Aaron said pointing to the exit while the others nodded their heads. Aaron followed behind them making sure that they got out okay, but while running to the exit he was shot in the back and fell clutching the edge of the floor.
"Aaron!" May called out running over to him.
"Just get out of here." Aaron said glaring at her. Several shots were fired over her head. "Go now! It's too dangerous."
"No I won't go." May said trying to grab Aaron's arm and pull him up. Aaron saw the cracks in the floor growing and used his glove to blow May back as the floor broke and Aaron began to fall in to the empty void. "Aaron!" May called out as Brock grabbed her arm and started running with her until they were back in the cavern.
They all caught their breath, sitting on the floor of the cavern. "He's gone." May said with tears forming in her eyes.
"We can't do anything about it now. The best we can do is try to find a way out of here." Brock said rubbing his chin.
"No way. We're going to stop Team Plasma and save those Pokémon. For Aaron." Ash said making a fist.
"For Aaron." May said standing up, wiping a few tears from her eyes, and also making a fist. Max did the same.
"Fine, for Aaron." Brock said smiling.
May walked over to the badge case and picked it up; she held it close to her chest. "Don't worry Aaron. We'll stop them for you, and I'll find a way to bring you back." May said to herself as she sat the badge case on the ground and walked back over to the group who was already making a strategy.
At the same time…
A boy dressed as a knight of some sort approached the castle. His helmet was a metallic dark gray color that consisted of a very small rectangular slit for the eyes that provided visibility, but kept them concealed while it exposed the lower portion of his face. He wore an armor of the same color that appeared to be fairly light as it seemed to be very thin and conform to his body; the shoulder plates were arched on the edges adding an elite atmosphere of some sort to his outfit. He wore black biker-like gloves on his hands; the left housed a light blue capture crystal. He also wore black boots. By his side was a hilt containing a sword with a black handle embedded with a slightly darkened light blue capture crystal; the blade was polished and incredibly sharp.
He walked to the front of the castle where the guards immediately readied their blasters. The knight sat his sword down and put his hands up signaling that he came in peace. One of the guards picked up the sword while the other one put the muzzle in his back while they led him in to the castle. They get to the throne room where N stares at the knight. "What can I do for you?" N asked smiling.
"I've come to offer my services." The knight said bowing.
"What do you want in return?" N asked examining him.
"A place in your grand new kingdom." The knight responded.
"Very well, but first you must prove yourself in battle. Give him his sword." N said as the guard handed him the blade.
"Fine with me." The knight readied his sword as several guards walked in to the room. The guards started firing off their blasters at him. He blocked each attack with his sword which seemed to glow. He then struck several of the guards down; he also shot several beams of ice from his glove trapping the guards while he mutilated them. He then looked at N. "Satisfied?" He asked with a sadistic smile.
"Very. Welcome aboard. I guess I'll have to refer to you as the ice knight." N said smiling as the knight stowed his sword.
