A/N: H...hello, it's been a while... Yeah, I know I haven't uploaded in a while...
Uh? I was I busy? No...
School work? Finals? Nope...
Pure laziness? Maybe... *Runs and hides.*
Anyway, sorry it took so long to upload this chapter! And I like a mention above, I really don't have an good excuse. I hope you enjoy it, and sorry if it's a bit unclear and confusing, for that's how it's suppose to be, confusing!
Grace gently placed Victini on her jacket. The Victory Pokemon was scorched from the strong super-effective Dark Pulse. Victini was shaking, her blue eyes dull.
Grace tried to process what Shaymin had just told her. We just time traveled.
Grace shook her head, she just didn't believe it.
But it perfectly explained what had happened at the Pokemon Center that morning, when she was suddenly back at the counter when she had been walking towards Ash.
But had it been that morning? If they "time traveled" then that would mean...
She shook her head harder, this was making her dizzy.
'Are you okay?'
"Huh?" She turned and saw Shaymin staring up at her.
'You're shaking your head like a Pyroar that fell into a lake!' Shaymin exclaimed.
Grace grabbed her Pokeball, "Return!" She commanded, returning her newly evolved Marill, "Who were those people that attacks us? Why did they attack? What's going on?" Grace asked Shaymin.
'Can't tell you.'
Grace had just picked up Celebi, "Why not?"
'Because its only between Ash and us,' She said, Grace could tell that by "us" she meant the legendaries.
"Melo lo!" Meloetta chided.
'She has no right to know!' Shaymin countered.
'Meloetta is right,' Victini squeaked, 'Ash did choose to send her back in time with us.'
'Just shut up and let me heal you,' Shaymin growled, 'I only have enough energy to heal one of you and you're the most hurt.' She tried to come near Victini, but she held out her hands.
'No, heal Pikachu. He's a better battler and would be more help if we got into trouble.' Victini said.
"Shouldn't we just find a Pokemon Center?" Grace asked.
'Impossible,' Celebi said softly. Grace looked down at the Time Travel Pokemon in her arms. Celebi seemed unharmed, but very tired.
'Yeah,' Shaymin said, rolling her eyes, 'Because there's one right over the hill. There are no Pokemon Centers in this time! Besides, even if there was do you think you could just waltz right into a Pokemon center with three rare legendaries?'
Grace froze, 'No Pokemon Centers? How far in time did we travel?"
Celebi thought for a moment, 'Thousand.'
"Th-thousand! Thousands of years?" Grace cried.
'Yep.'
Grace's head was spinning, a thousand years.
'Pikachu, get over here, I need to heal you,' Shaymin grumbled.
Grace glanced over at Pikachu. He was in the same position as when they'd completed the time lapse. Staring at the ground, paws curled into fists.
"Pikachu, you're hurt, please come over here," Grace said as she set Celebi next to Victini.
"Pikapi!"
It had one simple translation. Ash.
"Pikachu."
He shook his head. "Pikachu pi! Pikapi!"
Shaymin rammed into Pikachu with Quick Attack, knocking him onto his back. She landed on his stomach.
'Look here Sparky,' She growled, getting into his face, 'We have no time to sit here and watch you mourn. Ash was captured, we know, so get over it! He held them off so we could get away and finish this mission, not for us to sit here and cry like a baby Squirtle. Ash may not have explained what's going on to you, but he told you to help us, so do it! The fate of the world now lies in our hands, so stop being a Dunsparce and do something!'
Pikachu's eyes narrowed, electricity began to spark around his cheeks.
"Etta!" Meloetta cried, rising up. She closed her eyes and began to sing. As the melody progressed Pikachu's cheeks stopped sparking, and the anger on Shaymin's face faded. As the song ended Victini slid into a sleep.
Shaymin blinked a few times, 'Look Pikachu,' She said much gentler, 'Please, just let me heal you.'
Pikachu said nothing. Shaymin closed her eyes and began to admit a green light. With a flash Pikachu was healed. Shaymin stumbled away, looking just as tired as Celebi.
"Melo el etta lo," Meloetta flew closer to Victini.
Grace wrapped up the jacket around Victini and picked her up. Victini muttered something in her sleep, "Maybe if we had some Oran Berries..." Grace muttered, looking around.
"Pika," Pikachu said, pointing to himself.
"Pikachu says that he'll try to find some,' Shaymin said, 'That's a good idea. While you do that we'll find a place to camp for the night.'
Pikachu ran into the woods, Meloetta helped Celebi into the air, and Shaymin scuttled over to Grace, 'We need to get moving, we don't know what'll attack us.'
Grace picked up Shaymin, "L-like what?"
Shaymin regarded Grace, 'That's it, we don't know.'
/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/
Oran berry. Oran berry. Oran berry... Ash.
Pikachu shook his head, replacing the image of Ash with Victini, she needed the Oran berry.
Oran Berry... Ash... Oran...
Ash.
Pikachu remembered the desperate in Ash's eyes when those people had showed up, the fear. He remembered how Ash had leapt in front of him, blocking the Slash attack. One thing was clear:
Ash really had cared for him.
He remembered what Ash told him to do.
Protect Grace. Find Lucario. Find... Something what was taken? Ash had been attacked as he was saying that, so Pikachu didn't hear what he had said. Find where I was taken? Find the taken thing? He just didn't know.
They had taken Ash. Pikachu hated how he could only watched as he was attacked and takened. How he couldn't do anything. Who were those people? Were they after them? Then why? Was it because of the legendaries? Why was Ash even with them?
Pikachu was snapped out his thoughts when he heard a loud boom. Pikachu glanced up and saw a blue light above the trees. A Dragon Rage attack, in the east.
In the east.
By Grace.
Protect Grace.
As Grace's scream reached his ears stiffened. He launched himself into Quick Attack, speeding across the forest.
/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*
The Haxorus had been so quiet that Grace hadn't even heard it. In fact she didn't even notice it until it fired Dragon Rage straight into the air. With a yelp Grace wheeled around, watching the blue light being sent from Haxorus's mouth into the air, like a signal.
It belonged to someone, it had a leather harness and some sort of coat-of-arms on it. She just didn't know if she wanted to meet its trainer.
'It's calling to someone,' Shaymin said, who was sitting on her shoulder.
"Sorus!" It cried.
'Now it's telling us to stay where we are,' Shaymin said, 'But I don't know why.'
The Haxorus looked a bit different than other Haxorus that Grace had seen. The green was darker, and the red wasn't as bright. The Haxorus seemed a bit more jagged.
"What did you find Haxorus?" Asked gruff voice.
Behind Haxorus two men came out of the woods. They had brown hair and beards. They had swords strapped across their back and they wore leather armor. They looked like had stepped out of a Medieval play. They had the same coat-of-arms on their armor like Haxorus.
Both men froze when they saw Grace.
"I've seen a many scoundrels in my days, but I've never seen on this young."
"Its a child, a girl. Not even old enough to wed," The other one said.
"Wha...?" Grace asked, still staring at the men like they fell from the sky.
The men ignored her, "She may have just wandered to far from the road."
One man studied her, "Girl, what's that in your arms?" He asked sharply.
Grace shakily revealed Victini, and the men gasped.
"Are you mongrel, or are you trying to get arrested gir? The law doesn't change with age."
The men started glaring at her in a way that made her nervous, she took a few steps back. The Haxorus growled, and the men pulled out their swords. They got a wicked look in their eyes, and Grace screamed.
"Shay!" Shaymin leaped off her shoulder, landing in front of Grace, preparing a Energy Ball.
"Looks like that's not the only Magical Creature you're hiding," One of them scoffed.
Magical Creature?
"Min!" Shaymin launched the Energy Ball, but the Haxorus swiped it a side with Dragon Claw.
"Get her Haxorus," One of the men commanded. Grace stumbled away as the Haxorus charged towards her with Dragon Claw. Shaymin used Quick Attack, but Haxorus knocked her a side with Dragon Tail, then tripped Grace with the same Dragon Tail.
Haxorus raised his arm, claws glowing blue with Dragon Claw right above Grace. She closed her eyes.
"Chu!"
Ching!
Grace opened her eyes to see Pikachu deflecting Dragon Claw with Iron Tail. He hit the side of the Haxorus's face with another Iron Tail, making it stumble away.
"Oh my..." One of the men said.
The men stared at Pikachu in awe.
Then to everyone's surprise they fell into a bow.
"A Pikachu!"
"Thank Arceus, what a rare and magnificent sight. Luck shall be on our side!"
"Pika?" Pikachu stared at the men.
"Haxorus, Dragon Claw on that girl!" One of the men said.
"Pika! Pikachu pika pi chu chu!" Pikachu looked at Grace.
"You got. Pikachu, Thunderbolt!" Grace called.
Pikachu threw himself into the air and shot a Thunderbolt straight at Haxorus. The Haxorus did nothing but wince.
"Let's do a combo, Quick Attack-Iron Tail!"
Pikachu dash forward with Quick Attack, then lashed out with Iron Tail.
"I... I don't believe it..." The men were staring at Pikachu in surprise.
"Its... Its obeying her!"
"What sort of witchery is this?"
"Orus!" Haxorus prepared a Dragon Breath.
"Haxorus no! Attacking the sacred Pokemon punished by death!" One of the men shouted with pure fear. The Haxorus stopped.
"We cannot fight the sacred Pokemon. We must report this to Queen Rin, she must decide what must be done."
The men grabbed onto Haxorus's harness, "I don't know who, or what, you are girl, but those who break the laws of the Kingdom will pay. Haxorus, return home."
"Pikachu?" Pikachu cocked his head as the Haxorus ran off with the men.
"Wha..."
'I have no idea, but it seems like we just made an enemy,' Shaymin said shakily.
A/N: Quick summery:
They're back in time (1000 years in the past!)
Shaymin refuses to tell Grace why they're there and what's going on.
Pikachu is healed, but Victini is still hurt. Pikachu goes looking for Oran Berries, but then Grace is attack by a Haxorus.
Strange men seem to be trying to arrest Grace for an unknown reason...
Pikachu to the rescue!
The men act strange around Pikachu, by bowing to him (Wha?)
Then when Grace orders Pikachu attack the men are like "What on earth?"
They stop Haxorus from attacking by saying that Pikachu is the "Sacred Pokemon" (Uh?)
Then they run off, basically saying that they'll be back!
