CHAPTER 8
Finally Reunited
Grass Planet Floria: Spring Season
The portal appeared this time, on a planet with a lot of grasslands and forests, Sonic Prime with the Pokémon Trainers and two electric rodent-like Pokémon arrived here.
"Everything seems peaceful." Prime said while watching the place and not getting down his guard.
Yellow and Chuchu could feel the gentle breeze of the wind, even the blonde-haired girl moved the straw hat from her head to feel wind running across her hair.
"This world looks so peaceful." Yellow sighed while feeling the breeze of the wind.
"Yeah, it's true." Red said, seeing her enjoy her time in this world.
After battling against many hostile creatures, the girl with the straw hat needs a rest and also think about different things than fighting against the Soulless.
"Well, we can't trust this place either." Blue commented, having suspicions of the place.
"Wait Blue, Yellow and I faced the Soulless, we were so shocked about that information." Red explained; they went through many different universes while defeating creatures without souls, and the trainer turned to see Prime. "Prime, this time I'm going to need some time alone with Yellow, but we'll be safe, later we'll come back."
"Huh?" Yellow wondered why Red wants some time alone with her.
"Okay." Prime nodded, clearly trusting the Pokémon Trainer of Kanto.
"Pika-Pika." Pika replied, wanting to come with Red.
"Pikachu." Chuchu said, thinking the same as Pika.
"Okay, you two can come with us." Yellow said with a smile while putting both hands in the heads of both Pikachu.
Then Red and Yellow with both Pikachu went into a forest, all the trees had flowers and the petals were flying into the wind.
"So, why did you think suddenly about needing some time alone with me?" Yellow asked him, wanting to know.
"I figured you would need it after many battles against those monsters, including the Soulless." Red answered to her, but he covered his mouth after mentioning the monsters who were people or another creature before. "I'm sorry for mentioning them."
"You don't need to apologize, Red-San." Yellow kindly said to him
She really knows that the Soulless were people or other creatures before being turned into Soulless, even if it sounds very sad to destroy innocent lives it was the only way to defend themselves while protecting more innocent lives too.
"Many years have passed since we met in the Viridian Forest." Red said remembering the first time they met.
"Yeah, it's true. I remember it like it was yesterday." Yellow said while closing her eyes remembering that day.
Yellow flashbacked when she was younger in the Viridian Forest from their universe, the blonde-haired was saved by the boy with the red cap from a rampaging Dratini, despite the small size, the dragon serpentine-like Pokémon was very strong and was attacking by using Dragon Rage and Hyper Beam, later she remembered when Red helped her to capture her first Pokémon, a Rattata who was Ratty before evolving into Raticate. The flashback changed another image again, this time it was showing Red who was unconscious at the edge of the forest and she healed him. Over the years, she gained a lot of experience from Pokémon battles, the battles against the enemies like the Team Rocket Elite Trio, the Masked Man who was a member of Team Rocket and the Team Galactic Commander Sird who had a black Pokémon called Darkrai; and recently now after meeting Sonic Prime they went through new experiences in different universes, new enemies and also their Pokémon learned to use new moves which will prepare them very well in future Pokémon battles.
"We spent many years adventuring every region, seeing new Pokémon, meeting new friends and facing new enemies." Red added while getting memories from the past, all the memories shared one thing, new experiences.
"Yeah, my journey started since the day I met you in the Viridian forest and when I caught my first Pokémon, and now we're very far from our homeworld." Yellow said, remember the day where it started everything.
"The information about the Soulless was shocking and depressing, at the beginning we didn't know they were people before, but we couldn't let those monsters hunt more victims and create more of their own either." Red said; and he has a point, the only way to stop the Soulless was to destroy them, but their deaths won't be in vain.
Despite the dangers, everyone could be very afraid of death, one of the most important things is to stay alive.
"It's true, I'm glad that we're alive despite the dangers." Yellow said before hugging Red.
"Me too, Yellow." Red said before returning the hug.
"And Red-San, thank you for being with me all the previous journeys in the Pokémon World just like now." Yellow said before kissing Red in the right cheek, who blushed after that.
"Yeah, you're welcome." Red said, still blushing as Yellow giggled with her hands behind the back like an innocent little girl, then she put her straw hat back in the head.
"We should go back with everyone." Yellow suggested to Red, now feeling better after passing time with Red.
"Yeah, you're right." Red said, realizing it was enough time for now.
They managed to come out from the forest before gathering with the team.
"We're back." Yellow said, calling the leader and the Pokémon Trainers.
"Feeling better?" Prime asked the girl with the straw hat.
"Wonderfully." Yellow answered with a smile.
"I'm glad to hear that." Prime said with a smile too, then he turned to see the group. "Okay everybody, let's keep going."
They nodded before following the leader through the spring-themed place, but as they were advancing enemies were appearing in their path, orange toads-like creatures called Flippy, white chicken-like ones called Tookey, yellow flowers called Lovely and yellow bear-like ones called Grizzo. However, Red and Yellow nodded each other with confident smirks before instructing both Pikachu to use their moves against the enemies while Sonic Prime performed Focused Homing Attacks, after finishing them all, the group went to the next zone.
Summer Season
The group arrived in another part of the world, but this time now the trees have fruits instead of flowers and the sun felt a little more intense than in the spring, the change of season was very fast when the group least expected it.
"Is it me or does it suddenly feel hotter here?" Platinum asked while noticing the temperature change.
"I can feel hotter here too." Green said, noticing the temperature change too.
"Look at the trees." Yellow said pointing at trees which now have fruits instead of flowers.
"Now there are fruits in the trees, before they have flowers when we see them." Red said, noticing the difference too.
"The last time it was spring, now it is summer." Ruby said, referring to the seasons where they were before and now.
As they were walking and speaking, Sapphire was able to notice two familiar trainers afar.
"Hey guys! I found Black and White!" She called the group.
Then the group followed the female Pokémon Trainer from Hoenn as the two Pokémon Trainers turned to see Red and the others.
"You guys!" Black said, glad to see them.
"We're finally reunited." White said.
After traveling across many universes, they are finally together after they were separated in the battle against Giratina.
"Where have you been all this time?" Black asked the group.
"We were searching for you all." Yellow answered, explaining that they were searching for the Pokémon Trainers in different universes.
"So, who is him?" White asked, referring to the blue hedgehog who is the leader of the group.
"He is Sonic Prime the hedgehog, we met him after we were separated in different universes, he is not a Pokémon." Red answered, telling both Pokémon Trainers from Unova the name of the blue hedgehog and meaning that Red and Yellow with both Pikachu were the first ones meeting Sonic Prime.
"And also he trained our Pokémon and now they have learned to use new moves." Yellow added, referring that their Pokémon learned to use new moves too.
"Since you can train Pokémon?" White asked him, in a surprised tone.
"It's a long story." Prime answered while rubbing his nose.
"So, what do you mean about other universes?" Black asked, after hearing that they ended up in a different universe.
"There are many universes beyond yours, which could include different timelines of alternate dimensions from the known ones, that set is called omniverse." Prime answered and Black with White were surprised.
What Sonic Prime is saying is true, some universes are set in different timelines while others are alternate dimensions from the known ones.
"Okay, now that we're reunited, what are we gonna do now?" Pearl asked, now that they are reunited after being separated, he is waiting to come back to their homeworld.
*THEME OF HOPE: MARCHING ARRANGEMENT (POKÉMON MYSTERY DUNGEON: GATES TO INFINITY)*
"It's true, but after facing the Soulless and five evil guardians, I want to help Sonic Prime to beat them." Red said with determination, he is showing his sense of kindness, courage and humility.
"Me too, Team Rocket hurt people and Pokémon before, I cannot let those Soulless hurt more people and Pokémon too." Yellow spoke seriously, with wishes to protect people and Pokémon.
"Normally me and Red are rivals, but this time I'll put the differences aside to help my friends." Blue said, willing to help his friends.
"Despite the fact that I made mistakes in the past, I'll help my friends too." Gold said, willing to help his friends too.
"I'm glad to hear that Gold, but we're on this together." Crystal added with determination.
"We faced many enemies previously." Silver said, remembering their past experiences.
"It's true." Green said while grabbing Silver's left hand who couldn't but blush a bit.
"Maybe I don't like the Pokémon Battles, we fought previously against Team Magma and Aqua and I'll fight to protect my friends and other people too." Ruby said, meaning that he will fight to protect everyone.
"At the beginning I wasn't strong and Ruby was hurt by a wild Salamence, but since that day I vowed to become stronger just like I'm now." Sapphire said, remembering an experience from her past.
"Since the day when I started my journey, not only I want to learn new experiences, I want to help my friends too." Emerald explained, wanting to help his friends.
"We fought against Team Galactic before, therefore if we work together we'll be able to protect the people and Pokémon too." Diamond said, remembering his experience in battles against Team Galactic.
"Okay, Diamond you win. But if you're going through another universe, we will do this together." Pearl said, agreeing to come with Diamond.
"Yeah, we're on this together." Platinum said with determination.
"So, what do you say, White? Are you ready for this?" Black asked her and she nodded.
"We defeated Team Plasma, I'm ready as I'll ever be." White said with a confident smirk.
Sonic Prime couldn't help but smile at the determination, courage and humility of the group of the Pokémon Trainers who faced many enemies previously before meeting him.
"Alright, let's go." Prime said with the group ready to depart.
"Wait…!" White called out.
*RECORD SCRATCHES*
"Our Pokémon are still tired after the battle against Giratina." Black added.
They were silent for a few seconds, then Red and Yellow sweat-dropped anime style now realizing that they forgot that the Pokémon Teams of Black and White didn't have enough energy for the next battles.
"Sorry…" Yellow said sheepishly.
"But we brought fruit to feed them." Red added before pulling out the fruit for the Pokémon Teams of Black and White.
Then Black called Costa along with others Braviary (nicknamed Brav), a bigger version of Munna called Musharna (nicknamed Musha), Emboar (nicknamed Bo), Galvantula (nicknamed Tula), Volcarona (nicknamed Volca), and White called Barbara, others Serperior (nicknamed Amanda), Deerling (nicknamed Jessica), Stunfisk (nicknamed Dorothy), Alomomola (nicknamed Nancy) and Duosion (nicknamed Sally). After the Pokémon ate their fruit, now they recovered their energy before being returned to their Pokéballs.
"Now here we go." Prime said and they nodded.
They continued across the summer-themed grasslands and as they were advancing they encountered enemies, green alligator-like creatures called Gator, the same Bronto Burt watched previously by Prime, pineapple-like creatures called Jungle Bomb and some Blipper were flopping, bur Prime performs somersault kicks against the enemies while both Pikachu used Quick Attack, Black called Musha to use Psybeam and White called Jessica to use Double Kick, they kept advancing while beating the enemies until they arrived to the next zone.
Autumn Season
The group was now in an autumn-themed forest, the season was very characteristic for the brown leaves and the winds blowing the leaves, but also the heat was replaced by slightly cooler winds.
"The heat suddenly disappeared." Yellow said, while noticing the temperature change.
"Pika…" Chuchu said, agreeing with her trainer.
"Yeah, it's true, now it's autumn." Red said while seeing the brown leaves in the trees.
"Pikachu." Pika added.
They continued across the autumn forest but the enemies were in their path, Prime managed to recognize the Plasma Wisp, Wheelie and Tac, but he used Sonic Cracker while Pika and Chuchu used Iron Tail, Musha used Hidden Power and Jessica used Bullet Seed, and after defeating the last enemies Red and Yellow remembered the trainers.
"Hey Prime, we want to take another training session." Yellow said.
Prime sounded a bit surprised, but he nodded, meaning that he accepted the request for training.
"Okay." Prime said.
"Ruby trained previously with you, now I want to do the same." Sapphire said, wanting a training season too.
"Us too." Pearl said while putting hand around Diamond, both looking like brothers.
"And us three." Black said as White nodded.
The blue hedgehog managed to train the other teams as he did before, also he knows that their Pokémon need to use new moves like the Pokémon Teams of Red and the other trainers.
"Very well." Prime said, ready to train them.
*MULTI-MAN SMASH (SUPER SMASH BROS FOR 3DS/WII U)*
Then the Pokémon Teams of Sapphire, Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, Black and White explained the moves from their Pokémon to Sonic Prime who later suggested training their Pokémon until learning new moves and having more advantage in future battles.
During the training, Chic learned to use Brick Break, Slash and Brave Bird, Rono learned to use Iron Head, Stone Edge and Surf, Pilo learned to use Air Slash, Hidden Power (fighting type) and Nature Power, Dono learned to use Thunder Fang, Earthquake and Knock Off, Kirly revealed his moves which were Leaf Blade, Night Slash, Psycho Cut, Power-Up Punch and X-Scissor while Alty revealed to use his own moves like Sky Attack, Moonblast, Dragon Pulse, Disarming Voice and Fly.

And lastly, Red and Yellow were taking a Pokémon Battle but for training, it was Pika versus Chuchu. At the beginning they felt nervous at the training but then they nodded before starting, and during the training both Pikachu learned to use Electro Ball, Dig and Brick Break.
*ENDS*
After ending the training they took a rest, both Red and Yellow sat below the top of a tree, the leaves were falling, and both trainers were looking and smiling at each other, the wind was blowing gently their hair, it was a great quiet moment for them, even Pika and Chuchu were in the same pose as their human trainers, definitely the autumn is suitable for them.
"All those training sessions were very useful, now our Pokémon will be able to have more advantages in battle." Red said while remembering the previous training sessions.
"Yeah, it's true." Yellow said before watching Chuchu, she could understand her Pokémon feels proud for learning new moves.
After taking a small rest from the training session, Red turned to see the other trainers.
"Okay guys, it's time to move on." Red told them and they nodded, then he turned. "Prime, we're ready to move."
"Okay." Prime nodded and they went to the next zone.
Winter Season
Now the group was in a winter-themed grassfield because there was snow around the place and clearly it is winter because the group went through spring, summer and autumn. However more familiar enemies faced by Prime before like Chilly and Scarfy, even two new ones, a red-caped being with a brown hat and a scepter called Simirror and yellow and brown-striped caterpillar-like ones called Capiller but Prime used Wild Rush which defeated them so easily the enemies. The enemies that they faced in this world were very easy to defeat in comparison to the previous ones, the places from this planet were really peaceful, now with the trainers gathered they decided to join in to help Sonic Prime who is still searching for hints.
"Your faith is my prize to be won." Kito's voice told the group.
Then they turned to see Kito who appeared behind the group.
"What are you talking about?" Platinum asked the yellow anthro hedgehog.
"I'm the Guardian of Pray, the name's Kito." Kito introduced himself as another of the seven Guardians. "Let's see if you can survive here."
"Bring it on!" Prime said while taking his fighting stance.
*MASTER HAND (SUPER SMASH BROS FOR 3DS/WII U)*
Kito snapped his right finger summoning a hand of yellow energy, Red called Snor, Yellow called Dody, Blue called Arcanine, Green called Jiggly, Silver called his shiny Gyarados, Gold called Togetaro, Crystal called Monlee, Ruby called Feefee, Sapphire called Kirly, Emerald called Mantine, Diamond called Wig, Pearl called Tauhiko, Platinum called Lopunny, Black called Tula and White called Sally ready to fight against the sixth Guardian.
"Let's do this!" Yellow said, ready for the battle.
Kito moved his own hand which moved the energy-mage hand above the group forming a fist, Prime managed to notice the movement in synchronize before he and the others dodged the fist which came down to stomp them, then Saur and Dody used Swords Dance before attacking with Vine Whip and Drill Peck against the energy-made hand who retaliated by making the shape of a gun to fire energy bullets but Prime used Insta-Shield to deflect the attack back at the energy hand who retaliated by making a wide slap across the place but they dodged and Arcanine used Fire Blast which destroyed the energy hand and also stunned Kito.
"This is our chance!" Blue called them, meaning that Kido won't move for a while.
Then Prime uses a Quick Cyloop before following with Whirlwind and Grand Slam against the sixth Guardian, Dody and Saur used Headbutt against the yellow anthro hedgehog, Arcanine used Thunder Fang, Togetaro used Aura Sphere and Monlee used Bullet Punch, but Kito managed to recover himself after the stunning before summoning another energy hand.
"Here we go again." Gold said, meaning that they must destroy the hand to stun the Guardian of Pray.
The energy hand flies at the top of the place before reappearing with an attempt to flatten the group but they managed to dodge the attack, then Prime used Focused Homing Attack and followed by using Wind Arrow, the energy hand retaliated by firing yellow lasers from his fingertips but they dodged again, then the red Gyarados attacked by using Dragon Breath and Jiggly used Tri Attack, but the hand managed to grab Jiggly before trying to squeeze her but the red Gyarados used Ice Fang against the the energy hand and forced to release Jiggly who attacked by using Ice Beam and destroyed the energy hand and stunned Kido again, then Prime uses Homing Shot combined with White Blast with both merged attacks hitting Kido, Saur used Sludge Bomb, Dody used Tri Attack, Jiggly used Play Rough and the red Gyarados used Whirlpool, when Kito recovered himself again he summoned again his energy hand.
"I hope the third is the last." Pearl said, waiting for that.
The energy hand makes a vaguely plane-like shape before flying across the place trying to hit them, but both Pikachu used Thunder Wave which paralyzed the energy hand momentarily which gave Prime the chance to perform Somersault Kicks and follows by using Sonic Boom, the energy hand retaliates by producing a yellow fireball before squeezing it and causing it to break into fragments across the place but they managed to dodge the attacks, then Feefee attacks by using Hidden Power, Kirly using Psycho Cut, Mantine uses Water Pulse, Wig using Energy Ball, Lopunny uses Focus Blast and Tauhiko using Rock Climb, the energy hand attacked again by flapping rapidly causing a wind that pushes them and spawns icy projectiles but Prime quickly used Insta-Shield to deflect the attack back at the energy hand, then Tula used Signal Beam while Sally used Thunder with both destroying the energy hand and stunning Kito again.
"Let's go!" Red called them.
Then Prime and the Pokémon hit Kito with their known moves (just like the Chain Attacks in Xenoblade Chronicles) and Prime ended by jumping and using Wind Pulse which defeated the yellow anthro hedgehog.
*ENDS*
After receiving the powerful attack, Kito landed on the ground while holding the pain and glaring at the group.
"You may have this round, but next time we see each other again, I'll be stronger than before. Also the last one is stronger than you all." Kito told the group before disappearing from the place.
It was another victory for the team thanks to their teamwork, all the Pokémon Trainers returned their Pokémon inside their Pokéballs, except Pika and Chuchu, while Prime remembered Kito's words.
"The last one? We managed to defeat six Guardians, that means that there are seven Guardians in total." Prime said, remembering the previous Guardians while adding them and deciphering the total number of the Guardians.
?
Meanwhile in the dark place, Shannon Goldman and the previous guardians were watching how Prime used the Chaos Control to summon the portal and they went to another universe.
"The Pokémon Trainers are reunited finally, I guess it's my turn to take care of them." Aishu said as he summoned a portal to go to the universe where Prime and the others will appear.
