If the view count keeps doubling every chapter, I need to write more often. I'm glad to see that some people enjoy seeing my story, even if I don't focus on it.
Hawk Gowrt: The only reason why Pikachu knows about the Mimikyus is because of what I like to call the Electric Type Network (ETN). It works like a social website among electric types and them only. No human knows.
Also this chapter will be Ash's POV mostly, the next one will be Pikachu's view. Anyway, time to head to the story.
Chapter 3: Foreboding
Ash sighed in relief as he slammed the door to his room. He walked like a zombie as he dropped his bag on a chair and collapsed face first on the bed. The teenager then groaned as he heard his phone ring with tiny harmless sparks jumping out of it.
It's only been 2 school weeks since Ash arrived in Viridian Academy and his fellow students were complaining about homework. He managed to finish most of his assignments while occupied with his studies. Now, it's the end of the school week and he intends to relax in the next few days, unlike other students who do their work at the last minute.
The teenager flipped in his bed and looked at the sky through his window. Orange and getting darker, its already dusk. Turning his gaze to the digital clock on his desk, he decided to take a little nap before the cafeteria announces dinner. With that he sighed and closed his eyes, ready to go back to the Poke-World.
Opening his eyes, Ash blinked at the sight in front of him. He was looking at every legendary he met in his travels surround a gigantic circle like a meeting table. The larger ones such as the Weather Trio and the Creation Trio seemed to be scaled down to fit with everyone else. Smaller legends like Mew, Jirachi and Phione were on the circle. Arceus was floating in the center, the legendary llama watching all the Pokemon with his emotionless face.
Gazing around the area, Ash was surprised to see a group of Pokemon that he doesn't recognize. A quadruped that looks like Frankenstein's version of Pokemon, a metallic lion, a dark bat, 4 floating creatures that look like totems, a levitating black crystalline being, a living shadow, and a sparking tiger. He spotted Magearna among the group and wondered why she was there.
"We're almost finished" the voice was filled with authority. Ash's gaze turned to the speaker, Arceus and tried to listen to what he was saying.
The llama turned to the odd group out. "Have the invaders broken the barrier Solgaleo?" The deity spat the word 'invaders' like it was diseased. Attention shifted to the lion.
"No sir." it's deep voice said, radiating power. "However, some managed to get through the few cracks the humans call Ultra Wormholes. Those same humans also make things worse."
"It's true sir." a feminine voice from the bat spoke out. "They managed to acquire one of our children as they tried making the portals. They want to use my child as a way to open a bigger wormhole."
"Lunala" a voice came from the yellow totem. "We have a general idea on where Cosmog is located. Give us time and me and the other tapus will break him out.
Before Ash could process everything he saw, he woke up. He sat up in his bed looking around his room. There was absolutely nothing out of the ordinary. The teen wondered what just happened before shrugging it off as part of his dreams and went to the cafeteria.
"So, all in favor of this plan say aye." Arceus' voice reverberated throughout the Hall of Origins.
There were a number of agreements that didn't resemble 'aye' in anyway. The legendary llama sighed and shook his head.
"I said, all in favor of this plan say AYE!"
"Aye!" most of the legendaries responded. Some of the other legends didn't answer for various reasons but they just nodded.
Arceus made an unintelligible snarl. "Very well, you all may continue your business. Dialga, Palkia, Giratina must stay here however. Hoopa, if you will…"
The portal djinn grinned and no one missed it as Hoopa transformed into his larger form. Every other legendary sans Arceus paled before attempting moving out of the area, only to fall into a portal. A good portion of the pokemon holding the psychic type managed to teleport out of the way before portals opened on them.
With nearly everyone out of the room the legendary llama turned to Hoopa with a stern look on his seemingly plated face. "I hope you haven't done another 'Dahara Incident'. I had to interfere with it myself."
The djinn merely gave a shit-eating grin and shook his head before disappearing in on of his own portals. Arceus rolled his eyes at the genie's antics before turning to the creation trio.
"...How much did the boy see?" He asked Palkia.
"The Alolan legends, when you asked them about those things."
"Father…" Giratina called out. "Are you sure this is the best course of action. The dimensional walls in Alola was always less stable and could backfire on us."
The llama gave them a blank look. "I made you three to be the masters of space, reality and time. Dialga can always fix most of this when it fails so we can start over."
Dialga looked at his father. "Father, with all due respect I can see the results of your plans most of the time but not this. What is this the purpose of this plan?"
The god of the pokeworld turned around and looked at a wall. The pictures on it depicted battle amongst pokemon against humankind. Arceus grimaced at the meaning of the images.
"The fate of Pokemon itself my sons. Our fate."
Ash peacefully ate his dinner in the cafeteria. The sun has mostly set and many students found themselves here to fill their stomachs. He felt like he could take on both worlds as he dipped into his food.
"I swear, he has two personalities when it comes to eating. One just gobbles everything and the other just savors it."
"Leaf, please control your boyfriend. Gary, tell your girlfriend to finish her food."
""He's/She's not my boy/girlfriend!" both of the said in embarrassment. Their cheeks beginning to heat up.
"Yet." Serena said as she continued to dig the scraps from her plate. *By 8 months it will be official."
"You just want them together so we could do a double date." Ash pointed out. Serena had the decency to blush at her plan being found out.
"How about we talk about something else" Gary suggested. "Like that rumor about the giant bird flying around." His friends gave him curious looks.
"It appeared days ago in the middle of the night. The damn thing was bigger than a car and glowed like a rainbow. You couldn't miss it unless you didn't look outside. And I saw it while out for a drink
Ash's eyes widened at Gary's description of the bird. If he didn't know any better, it sounded like Ho-oh. The teenager however shook the thought away while Gary continued talking. The legendary is just a dream. The bird was probably something else.
Not noticing Ash's plight, Leaf spoke to Gary. "If you really saw that bird, you should at least show us proof. Unless you're making it up." Leaf gave the teen a challenging look.
"Well, since you asked about it." Gary said as he rummaged through his pockets. He pulled out an oddly colored feather. The rest of the group stared at it with their eyes wide.
"You wanted evidence so I give you this. A feather that fell off the bird." the feather had the colors red, yellow and green on it. A small tuft of white located just above the base. It also looked like it glowed a little.
"Are you sure that's a bird's feather." asked Leaf. "The coloring seems to be straight from a children's coloring book."
"Positive!" Gary said. "I can't be a biologist unless I have experience. This could be a good start to cataloguing a new species."
With Gary on the verge of a rant in the name of science, Serena smacked him on the back of the head. The girl smiled as her friend's head went into his food. She turned to where Ash is sitting but saw no one there. All that's left is an empty plate.
"Where did Ash go?" Serena couldn't help but say.
Leaf pointed her finger behind her at the exit. "I just saw him go out. He said something about checking on something he had. Had something on his mind with the way his face was moving."
Serena nodded as Gary cleaned his food from his face and grumbled on his way to the restroom. Leaf left alongside her as they walked to the dormitories. Content with the day and her plans for the weekend.
Ash locked the door behind him as he fell flat on his bed the second time today. After some time has passed, he got up and changed into his sleepwear before getting back on the bed. However, much to his displeasure he couldn't sleep.
The teen tossed and turned with his mind on Ho-oh's feather. How is it even here? How did Ho-oh even move to Earth? And if the bird of reincarnation is alive and existing near the area, did that mean Pokemon are real and his dreams are but another dimension.
With the thought of the Pokeworld in his head, Ash didn't take long on falling asleep. Willing to see the other life he made.
By the time Ash is deep in slumber, something appeared outside his window. A bird with large wings, that its surprising that flapping isn't making any noise. Ho-oh stared at his chosen and the mouse before squawking and flew up and over the academy and towards the horizon.
Soon after Ho-oh left a feather, identical to Gary's floated down and into Ash's room. It gently hovered before landing on the desk next to Ash's bed. The feather glowed a small light and a yellow mouse materialized on Ash's body, asleep and vulnerable.
Pikachu didn't know about that and continued to snooze on his trainer's body. Hoping for a miracle to happen so he can be seen again and spend time with his trainer.
Just to be clear, this is the multiverse at work. I can bend the known characters' personality to some extent so they're different from the ones in Pokemon. The only one that's mostly the same is Ash and even he has some changes.
Serena is a bit more active, Gary is a friendlier rival and into science. Other characters will appear, not as cameos but will be in the story. Eventually.
Soon after roughly 1 month there will be no school for me. I will upload faster and more often in that period. But for now, I need to keep my grades up. I'm not going to be a repeater.
Read, review and follow if I'm lucky.
