*Please note that names and locations have been changed due to privacy. In this story, I am Madison.

-Madison- {Continued}

"Yeah, I'm gonna freak out now. Excuse me." I walked behind a tree and started to scream at the top of my lungs.

"WHY THE CUFF DOES THIS HAVE TO HAPPEN TO ME! GAHHHHHH! CARTOONS ARE COMING TO LIFE! OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD!"

I walked back over to Dib. "Okay, I think I got it out of my system."

Dib stood up and looked me straight in the eyes. "It's not time to give up… yet. I doubt that you're the only one going through this. We have to unite in order to save Earth AND your dimension." He held out his hand. "Partners?"

I looked at his hand, then him. I took his hand and smiled.

"Partners."

-Cartoon World: The Ghost Zone- -Rachael- 10:07am

Boomer and I are transported to a world that is dark and has many doors.

"Is this… the Ghost Zone? GAH! Now we have to test the doors and see where they go."

I groan. I open one that looks like the back of a school bus. It reveals an entirely white room. Inside of it is a moose eating walnuts. I immediately run out.

"That was so horrible! A ROOM WITH A MOOSE!" I howled.

Boomer comes out of a door that is old and brown.

((World… made… entirely… out of DOOKIE!))

I open a third door that is black and blue. Anti-Fairy Land? I thought. I walk in while blue teeny fairies are beating each other with black wands. Without warning, the anti-fairies start tackling us.

"Y'all need to help us fix 'er wands! They's out of power!" Anti-Wanda says. They block the door to the Ghost Zone. Boomer and I are dragged to the giant anti-wand.

"I guess we have to fix this to leave. I think I saw a version of this on "The Fairly Odd Parents"." I turn to Boomer and ask "You can use a variety of moves, right?"

((Yeah.)) he answered.

"Oh hey, what's this?" I untied a piece of fabric from the twisted metal tower. "It's a Special Band! This will boost my psychic abilities!" I said happily as I tied it around my wrist.

"Hey Boomer, can you try using Shock Wave?" I asked.

((Sure.))

Boomer's body glowed yellow, then he released a charge of electricity onto the wand. Surprisingly, the wand sprang back to life. Anti-Wanda shoots us a large, goofy smile. They lead us back to the Ghost Zone.

((Let's never go there again.))

"Agreed."

We approach one more door. It is reflective like a mirror and has a purple fog around it.

((This door is ominous, but I sense it's our way home.))

"Why do we always have to go someplace scary or difficult to get home?" I yelled.

((That's the format of any form of media.))

We open the door and walk into a very strange place. A woman with long blonde hair greets us.

"My name is Cynthia. This is the distortion world."

"I'm… RiKael. This is Boomer."

"Why are you here?" she asked.

"We're trying to return home, we mean no harm."

"Your intentions seem sincere. I'll let you pass." I nod and start walking.

"Oh, to return home, you must go to the very edge of this world."She pointed me in the right direction. I thank her and continue.

((This place sure is weird.)) he said as we ran upside down.

After crossing many moving platforms, Boomer and I approach a large waterfall.

It's flowing upside down! If I jump in, will I fall off? I thought. I toss a pebble in the falls. It flows upward while getting smashed by water. I stick my hand inside.

"OUCH!" How is this going to work?" "Oh! I have an idea! Boomer, use Ice Beam!" I commanded.

Boomer opened his mouth and shot out a blue beam. The falls lightened in color. Within seconds, they were completely frozen over.

"It worked!" I exclaimed.

I return Boomer to his pokeball. I take my first step and nearly fall off. I pull myself up and carefully walk across. After safely making it across, I send Boomer out again.

"Oh yeah, I've always wondered what it was like to be in a pokeball."

((It releases sleeping gas because there's nothing to do in there.))

"Really?"

((NO. It's hard to explain, you're not a Pokémon.))

"I was a Skitty for awhile." I smirked. "Oh hey, look at that!"

A large gray dragon with black wings stared at me with pleading eyes.

"That Giratina is locked up!" I gasped.

A man with blue hair and a strange uniform comes up to Giratina and strokes it. Giratina cringes.

"With your help, I can enter and leave the dimensions as I please. It makes it all too easy to take over them!" he laughs.

I turn to Boomer. "That's horrible!" I whisper.

((Hey… that lock… it's weak against psychic powers! Maybe you can break it!)) He screams in my head.

"Oh, it appears as if we have visitors, Giratina." the man says.

((We're caught!)) Boomer says.

I try to hide behind a floating tree. My attempt at hiding had failed. He walks up to me and asks "You're not trying to stop me, are you?"

"Uh… no, but how did you know I was here?"

"Your friend was very loud." He looked down at Boomer who started to growl.

He can hear him too? Why is it only select people who can hear Pokémon? I asked myself.

"Well, I think you two are trying to foil my plan. Honchcrow! Get rid of her!"

Boomer released Shock Wave, knocking down Honchcrow for a minute. The man releases all of his Pokémon and commands them to attack. Just then, a Garchomp jumps in front of us and blocks the attack. Cynthia comes running to us.

"That's pretty low, even for you, Cyrus. Trying to destroy a kid, fight me! Weren't you always claiming no one was ever a worthy adversary for you?"

Cyrus's and Cynthia's Pokémon start to battle. Cynthia motions me to Giratina.

"Save him and he'll save you!" she yelled at me. I return Boomer, run as fast as I can, and jump onto Giratina's back.

"Here goes nothing!" I called out. I held the lock tightly in my hands and focused all of my energy into it; my hands started glowing. The restraints snapped.

"YES!" I exclaimed.

Giratina stretched its wings and let out and extremely loud roar.

((Let's get out of here! Thank you for freeing me!)) it said.

"How do I get home?" I asked.

((I can take you through reflective surfaces like water or mirrors. Where do you want to go?)) it said.

"Central, I guess."

We flew through a blue portal.

"Thanks!" I screamed.

Meanwhile at CHS…

Hunter was leaning over to take a drink at that very moment…

As soon as he presses the button, I come out of the nozzle fist-first. My fist makes contact with his face knocking us both to the floor. I stand up and shoot him a confused glance as if to say "Dude you're crazy." and then I walk to my 4th period class like nothing ever happened.

The bell rings.

"Crap!" I scream as I run down the hallway.

((What's wrong?))

"I'm late!" I bolt up the stairs. I walk into Room 302 and breathe a sigh of relief. My teacher isn't here. I take my seat. My friend Erin turns around.

"Where have you been all day?" she asks.

"Uh… the Nurse's Office… helping her do… stuff." I suck at making excuses. I thought.

"Did you skip?"

"Yeah…" I can't lie to my friends.

"You lucked out, Mr. Reily is late."

I smiled. Mr. Reily walks in while holding his little blue lunchbox.

"Today, we're so far ahead of the other classes that we're just going to watch Bones today." He says. The class cheers.

I lean back in my chair and relax. I look over at Boomer. He was sleeping. I start to close my eyes too.

"Hey Doctor Rachael, you've got a note from the attendance office."

Oh! That's right! I was gone the first three periods! CRRAAAP! I kick Boomer awake.

((Whaa?))

I gulp. I take the note and head to the office.

I take a deep breath and glance nervously at Boomer.

((Good luck.)) I nod and step inside. The dean of women has a serious look on her face.

Oh God, I'm in trouble.

"Where were you in the morning?"

"I was… er I got into a car accident." I realized then that the dean wasn't even looking at me. She was staring at Boomer.

"Another cartoon character? You're helping to control them, aren't you? OK. I understand why you weren't here. I'll get you out of trouble."

I give her a huge smile and leave.

-Earth: CHS- -Madison- 10:30am

"Training time!" I picked a pokeball off the ground and pressed the middle button. "It'll be a good thing to have a Pokémon with us."

"What's a Pokémon? A type of technology?"

"Ah, no." I handed him the pokeball. "Here, practice throwing it at the tree, but be quiet, school's in session."

"Okay." He nodded, "Aim for the tree…"

Dib threw it at the tree, but it bounced back and smacked him in the head.

"Uh, ouch." I broke out laughing.

I took the pokeball from him. "Here, I'll show you how." A Smeargle crawled out from the bushes. I grinned. Just in time.

I readied my arm. "Pokeball, GO!" I lashed it at the Smeargle. It rocked back from side to side, and then stopped.

"Capture complete!" I pumped my fist.

Dib went over to the ball and picked it up. "You're really good."

"I'm a nerd." He gave me the pokeball back.

"I never got your name earlier."

I raised an eyebrow. "It's Madison."

"Take this." He gave me headphones with a mic. I slipped them on.

"Or just call me Cruz."

An ear-bleeding pitch ripped across the headphones. I fell to the ground, my hands clutching my head.

"Madison, Madison! What's wrong?" Dib began shaking my shoulders.

A dimensional rip opened next to the school.

Dib held a fighting stance. "A dimensional rip!" I opened my eyes. Five kids toppled out of the rip.

"Whoa, that was a total rush!" A boy with blonde and purple hair rubbed his head.

Another boy stood up, patting the dust off of his shirt. "What did you get us into this time Jeremy?"

Yet another boy was putting his glasses on. "It wasn't me this time!"

Dib dropped his stance. "Who are you?"

The boy with the glasses looked around. "Amazing, almost like Lyoko…"

Lyoko? Then that means- yes, I do know who they are!

The blonde and purple haired boy smiled. "Yo, the name's Odd Della Robbia, and this here is Jeremy, Yumi, Ulrich, and Aelita!"

Aelita walked up behind Jeremy. "Is it really-?"

"An alternate dimension!" Jeremy let out a huge grin.

"Great, great, that's wonderful." I said sarcastically, my pain having already left like it never happened.

The five kids walked over to us, ignoring the "me" part.

I stood up and flailed my arms. "Hello, what about me?"

Jeremy's face went blank. "Wait, you can see us?"

"Yes, I can." I held out a hand and smiled. "'Sup, the name's Madison."

Jeremy walked over to me and adjusted his glasses. "Amazing! Normally, and as it should be, you and others from your dimension shouldn't be able to see us due to dimensional lapses and fabric tears between the special rift!"

"Uh, what?"

Ulrich ignored us and ranted on. "Why is this happening, Jeremy?"

"Well," Dib went back to his laptop with me looking over his shoulder. "My dad created and Atom Ripper and when he tested it, it appears to have torn a rip between the 2-D and 3-D worlds, ours and Madison's."

I chuckled quietly to myself. "Why is this happening to Elyia? I thought everything bad happened in Cleveland."

"To say the least, this isn't an isolated event." He showed a stimulation model with Earth's magnetic currents.

"This is up my alley." I muttered. Science has always been my best subject.

"Anyways," Dib pointed to a red dot, "this is where we are-"

"Elyia." I corrected.

"Yeah, that place. As you can see here, the currents around here are out of proportion."

"And Elyia just has bad luck."

"Okay… anyways, like I said, this isn't an isolated event." He pointed to five other dots. "There is one in Italy-"

"That's Rome."

"In South America,"

"That dot is in Brasilia."

"In Japan,"

"That dot is Tokyo."

"And somewhere in Canada and Australia."

"Hmmm… that's Toronto and Sydney."

Odd let out a mile. "That's a nice change of pace."

Yumi backhanded him. "You dope, that's a BAD thing."

"Does that mean you're on our side, the good side?" I asked them.

The group gave a thumbs up and smiled a cartoon smile. "Yeah, yeah we are."
