The Journey of Lifetimes
Chapter 4: A New Journey Begins.
"aagh….Tooom…..turn out the lights…" whined Liz slowly opening her eyes. The sun was extra bright 'must be noon…' Liz slowly sat up, rubbing her eyes and checking out the scene. She was at Crystal Lake but somehow it looked different. There were more trees and only a dirt road leading from some far off place to the lake. "Tom...something's not r–" Liz stopped in the middle of her sentence, to her right was a passed out gijinka. "?!" Liz jumped moving away from it when the 'gijinka' began to move. "aah….My head! What happened?" The gijinka rose holding his body up with his arms, looking at Liz. "Why are you looking at me like that?" said the male looking at Liz then he noticed the hand he used to rub his left eye. "What the–?!" he said as ran to the lake to confirm his suspicions. "I'M A POKEMON!" He said running to hug Liz tightly. "Liz! I'm actually a Pokémon!" Liz than noticed two things, 1) That he knew her name and 2) That he had a large circular scar on his lower chest. "T-Tom?!" asked Liz struggling to breath in the tight embrace. The Pokémon confirmed he was Tom with an over excited nod before jumping around like a 5 year old on a sugar rush. "I'm actually a Pokémon - - - Wait!" Tom put his hands together by his side and concentrated extra hard. Before long, a Water Shuriken appeared and Tom launched it making a pretty good dent in a nearby tree.
Liz looked at her brother with surprised, sweatdropped eyes. "U-uh umm….since when are you a ninja?!" Tom just smirked "I had to be able to protect you somehow. But Now I can reach a new level of being a ninja!" exclaimed Tom starting some warm-ups. Liz giggled at the display but in the back of her mind, she felt as though something was missing. Just then, both Liz and Tom recalled the events of the previous night. Both looked at each other with wide eyes as they screamed in unison "LUCARAVILE!" With that they ran down the only path from Crystal Lake as fast as they could to what hopefully would be the nearest town.
3 Hours and 18 Miles Later –
Liz and Tom weakly walked into the shop and apartment filled town, both collapsing in front of the closest store. "He. He. Well hello there travellers." Liz slowly razed her head to the Ambipom talking to them. "Huh?...he looks….different to the Ambipom I know." Thought Liz studying his face. The shopkeeper sweatdropped. "Is something wrong mam?" Tom weakly raised his arm pointing upwards. "Can…we…have…some water…?" said Tom between pants. Ambipom smiled and handed them two cups of Fresh water, which they quickly scarfed down. "That'll be 300 Pokedollars please." said Ambipom extending one of his tails, palm up, to them. Liz slowly stood up and handed him the spare change in his pocket. "Sorry but will this do?" she placed 150 poke-dollars into his palm. Ambipom looked at the money and grew deadly silent. "Hm?" Liz noticed this as she and Tom rose to their feet. "You're not from here are ya?" said Ambipom turning away from them to put the money in a locked box. "No…not really." said Tom hoping to get some information as to where the heck they are. "Well!" said Ambipom "This is the Shop/Rest stop town of Valkyrie!" Ambipom almost screamed this letting the other store clerks know of the "New arrivals". Liz nearly spat out what little water she had left. "….w-what year is it?" "Hey Kangaskhan! What year was it again?" yelled Ambipom to the Kang shop two doors down, opposite his store. "It's 1090!" yelled back the female Kang who owned the store. "There you go." smiled Ambipom looking back at the two guests.
"WHAT?!" they both screamed making everyone in town jump. Tom banged his fist into the ground frustration growing inside him, "What the hell is going on?!" Liz was just curled into a ball, sitting on her feet, having a small panic attack. 'What's going on?! How are we in our hometown nearly a millennium before it was remade?!' thought Liz panicking. Somehow, that shadowy beast had sent them from 2089 to 1090, nearly 1000 years back in the town's past.
Suddenly a loud rumble began to shake the town. "This can't be good!" said Ambipom pulling both Tom and Liz into the shop just before they were run over by a heard of Aggron. "That was close." said Tom thanking the shop keep. Liz looked at the run-away heard and noticed something different running away ahead of them. "That's not a run-away…..they're chasing something. We have to help!" said Liz jumping out of the shop and chasing after them. "Hey wait!" said Tom poking his head out the shop.
Before Tom could jump out, Ambipom grabbed his shoulder. "Hurry before they reach the end of town otherwise they won't be easy to stop!" he said before letting go. "Right!" said Tom with a nod jumping out to catch up to his sister, which he was able to do easily.
The heard of Aggron had stopped by the time Liz and Tom had caught up to them. They hid behind some bushes next to the heard to not be seen. "Grrr! So you little runt. Thought you could get away from us huh?!" said the leader Aggron to the small Pokémon in front of the heard. Liz noticed that they were very close to a huge cliff. They had to get closer so they help but were not sure how to handle the situation. "Ha! As if an idiot like you could ever catch me!" said a rather young voice compared to Aggron's. The leader had grown tired of the runt's remarks as he charged Flash Cannon to finish it off. This made Liz's blood boil, 'Picking on someone so small….Unforgivable!' she thought charging an attack of her own.
Just before Aggron could launch his attack, he was knocked forward stopping the attack. Everyone was shocked by the sudden attack, even Tom, but Aggron just looked back at his attacker with a deathly stare. Liz just stood there panting softly as a little cloud of smoke was coming off of her hands. Acting completely of her fighting instincts, Liz had managed to fire an Aura Sphere right the back of Aggron's head. As Aggron stomped the ground to keep himself from falling, Liz jumped and landed right in front of the small Pokémon. "If you want him you'll have to go through me!" shouted Liz to the heard after noticing that they were attacking an innocent Zorua. The leader roared in a rage about to Iron Tail the foe's in his way. Tom ran out to block the attack while Liz readied herself.
Just before they clashed, a flash of green and pink smacked the ground between them sending both parties a little ways back. Liz struggled to see as the cloud of dust subsided. A short pink Pokémon appeared between them, facing Aggron. "Grrr! How dare yo–" Aggron was interrupted as he was knocked back by the Pokémon's green tongue. When his subordinates tried to aid Aggron, the pink Pokémon launched at the 7 Aggron, knocking 4 out with Power Whip, 3 with Brick Break and paralysing Aggron with Lick. 'Wow…..I didn't know Lickitongue could be that strong….' Thought Liz sweatdropping. The Lickitongue turned to face Liz and walked towards her. "T-Thanks yo–" Liz was interrupted by Lickitongue pulling her up looking annoyed. "You idiot! How dare you try and take down a heard of Aggron by yourself?!" she yelled shaking Liz aggressively than glaring at Tom. Tom flinched as her tongue wrapped around him and shook him like Liz. "And how dare you leave her to defend herself. Have you no sense of reason?!" The Zorua just sweatdropped, not speaking so Lickitongue wouldn't yell at him too.
Even after Lickitongue let them go, she was still scalding them. "Don't go picking fights you can't win got it?! You two are too impor–" Lickitongue stopped herself from finishing her sentence. "Hm? Too impor–" Liz was interrupted by Lickitongue's next outburst. "Forget what I said anyway! First off, formal introductions are in order. I am Lana, Leader of Valkyrie. And you are?" "I'm Liz Zimmerman and this is my brother Tom. And we come from your town." 'Soft of…' Liz thought the last part not wanting to confuse the leader. Lana smiled sweatdropping before speaking. "Well I'm sure you have lots of questions right now but I'm not the one who has the answers. If you want answers, head to Crystal Lake. There you will find the key to the Water Kingdom. Only there can your quest begin." said Lana patting Liz and Tom on the shoulders. Liz was about to question her statement when she remembered what she had come into town for and decided to take Lana's advice, hoping for answers.
"Ok! Thank you." said Liz before turning to the Zorua. "If you want, you can come with us if you have anything you need to know." She said extending her hand. Zorua was starting to get ticked. "I don't need your help! I can handle myself just fine!" said the Zorua smacking her hand away and running into the forest nearby. He popped out his head from a bush. "By the way! Why is a Greninja and a Lucario travelling together anyway? Don't you know that Dark and Fighting types don't get along?!" He said before disappearing into the forest.
Tom just sweatdropped, not quiet understanding the little ones outburst. Liz just looked confused, not sure what she did wrong but decided to focus on the task ahead. "Tom. Let's go." Liz said bowing to Lana before running off to Crystal Lake. Tom bowed as well and followed after her coming to the same conclusion she had.
Lana watched as the two ran off. 'The Prophecy has begun…' she thought while Aggron roared, trying to launch an Iron Tail at her from behind. Without turning around, Lana punched Aggron square in the face with a Power Whip, sending him onto his back. Aggron then grunted as Lana ran over him. 'There is much to prepare!' thought Lana a she ran to town leaving the Aggron heard in the mid of the forest, all knocked out…
