I will put replies to reviews up the top, so there! XD

Aleron's Sword: Electivire, Typhlosion and Scizor are correct. Squirtle is not. Good try! #De-dede-dum-duh-duhduh-duhduh-dahh# (ALERON obtained the BRAGGING RIGHTS!)

IF YOU READ, PLEASE REVIEW, NO MATTER WHAT YOU THINK. THIS IS MY FIRST FIC.

(Sorry for not updating for ages D:) On with the show!

I was polishing my katanas.

There were no jobs, tasks, missions. Rex hadn't gone on a breakout.

In other words, it was boring.

So

My finger slipped in shock and I cut it on my blade. I swore and pinched the finger between two others to staunch the bleeding.

You must be Six

I looked around. I was the only one in the room. "Who's there?" I growled.

No-one

I pulled the small intercom piece out of my ear.

That won't help

I put the intercom back into my ear. "Then why am I hearing things?"

That's the same thing

Before I could reply, I felt a fleeting light-headedness.

Dr Holiday said

"What did she say? How did you contact her? Who are you?" Almost in reply, I heard her voice ringing through my head, like a memory. "Then... why am I hearing things?"

This is telepathy

I started.

So I can contact anyone

I folded my katana back up warily.

And the light-headedness you are probably feeling is me reading your mind

That sounds cheesy, I thought, feeling the said light-headedness again.

I guess it does sound cheesy

"Why are you here?" I demanded.

To give you directions

"...Directions?"

Look for Dusk in Sandgem

"Dusk?"

Dusk, yes, Dusk

I blinked.

I will meet you soon

"How is that directions...?"

A bird's eye view of Hokkaido, Japan, filled my head.

This is Sinnoh

"No, that's Japan."

This is Sinnoh

"Why are you calling-"

This world and yours are linked

"What, that's your world?"

Yes

I must be dreaming... I thought. No mind reading.

Dawn and Dusk will be your guides

I blinked. What about dawn and dusk? How could times of day be guides…? Star-gazing to tell your position? The position of the sun? ...I thought not, somehow.

Goodbye... Arceus be with you

"WHAT the HELL is ARCEUS?" I yelled in frustration.

I hit the wall, sighed, and massaged my forehead. "Damn... Who was that? Dusk? Dawn? Sinnoh? Sandgem? Arceus? ...Man, stop talking to yourself." I muttered. I couldn't quite place it, but the last four crazy words rang a very small bell somewhere in my head.

The names were total nonsense. So...

...Why did it ring a bell?

[~]

"Holiday!"

She turned to glare. "What?"

"Has anyone... contacted you recently?"

She paused and looked away before replying, "...No..." I could tell that she had lied.

I didn't pause. "Well, they... contacted me, too. Do you know what a Sandgem is?" That got a reaction I half-expected – shock.

"Ah... no. Not a clue." She turned away. "Except... Do you get a feeling that would make sense... somehow?"

I looked at her. "Yes. I do."

She tucked her hair behind her ear and laughed half-heartedly before replying, "Weeeeell... in any case, I don't think Google would have the answers."

The hint of a smile tugged at the corner of my mouth. "Probably not."
