Worlds Collide.
"What the hell is that thing!?" - Cu yelled as he thrusted his spear forward, only for his enemy to dodge the hit with ease.
After Ritsuka and Tatsuko, Chaldea's Masters, returned from a rayshift from a minor Singularity, it seems like something else latched onto them and came back to the Storm Border with them. It was a small, dark, bluish-green and ghost-like creature. While it had no visible arms or legs, its lower half had several small appendages and resembled a ruffled dress and its hair resembled a set of arms. It also had several round red gems around its neck and pink spines growing from the top of its head.
As soon as the creature found itself in the Storm Border, it started wreaking havoc, with the Servants unable to catch it as it floated away from their hits. While it did, it also seemingly laughed at them, like it was taunting them.
Enkidu approached from the front, launching several chains towards the strange creature, but it waved around them with ease thanks to its small body before crashing into Enkidu's face and throwing him to the ground, all the while chuckling.
"This has to be, hands down, the strangest thing that has happened since we came here" - Tatsuko said as she and Ritsuka saw from the Command Room the fight in the hallways, as Cu, Enkidu and Fergus chased down the creature.
"It certainly looks like nothing we've seen so far…" - the siblings turned to the Caster Da Vinci who, alongside her Rider self, were heeling the creature's movements.
"Catch it! We can't let it get away!" - Fergus yelled as they ran after the creature.
"Dammit! Ambush team, get ready!" -
From behind a corner, Hessian Lobo jumped to pin down the creature to the ground, getting a good hit and trapping it under its foot. Seconds later, the creature released a blast of blinding light that damaged the Servants and pushed them away, allowing it to escape again.
"What the hell even is that thing? Seems like a ghost, but…" -
"It emits a certain supernatural aura, that's for sure, but it also seems to have a physical body of sorts than can be damaged" -
As the creature ran across the Storm Border, a scream was heard, followed by it stopping dead in its tracks. Nitocris, with help from Scheherazade, created a spell to trap it and block its powers, thus stopping its chaos and allowing it to be studied.
"Good, it finally stopped…" - Ritsuka let out a sigh of relief.
"Thanks for your help everyone. Bring it to the Command Center, we'll find out just what that thing even is" -
Carefully, the Servants brought the tiny creature to the Command Center, where the two Da Vinci had set up an entire analysis table to study it. Seeing it quickly made the creature distressed and started to violently move around, trying to escape.
"Its power is amazing…" - Rider Da Vinci whispered to herself - "I have no idea where it comes from, but if there is more like it…" -
After getting distracted in her own thoughts, she and her Caster self began to prepare the machines. However, just before they could begin, the small creature let out a tremendous roar and a blast of energy that destroyed the machines and the spell, allowing it to escape. After that it rushed to where it first came from, the Rayshifting coffins, got inside one, and enveloped in a white glow, disappeared.
The creature left Chaldea to clean up its mess, all while the Masters, alongside both Da Vinci studied the energy that the creature emitted from its body. After a few hours of investigation, they tracked its location down and explained to the Masters and the Shielder what they had found.
"While we can't pinpoint exactly where the creature's habitat is located, we found out where it came from" - Caster Da Vinci explained before opening a hologram, showing a huge landmass - "From what we've gathered, the inhabitants of said world call it, the Paldea Region" -
Rider Da Vinci took the stage next to her Caster self - "The people there live together with a strange species of creatures that they refer to as Pokemon" - the hologram shifted once more to show the inhabitants of Paldea together with their respective companions.
Images of them living, playing, working and even fighting together passed before their eyes. This Pokemon came in all shapes and sizes, and seemed able to dominate the elements, with some shown to use lighting, fire, water and so on.
"Thanks to the little energy traces that our friend left here, we managed to create a stable connection that would allow Ritsuka Kun and Tatsuko Chan to rayshift there" -
"However, there's a slight problem…" - Caster Da Vinci interrupted her Rider self - "This isn't like traveling to a Singularity or a Lostbelt, and thus a lot more energy will be required" -
"Right. Once the rayshift is completed, it will take a while for us to gather enough energy to bring them back" -
Despite this, Ritsuka and Tatsuko both were highly interested in traveling to said world and exploring it. After all, after so much time they had gained a love for adventure.
"No problem, we'll go and find everything about Paldea!" - Tatsuko yelled with her thumb up - "So, what's next?" -
"Wow, you're very eager Tatsu" - Ritsuka said with a smile as she slightly laughed.
"Sorry, sorry. But this is just too good of an opportunity to pass up" -
Both Da Vinci looked at Tatsuko and chuckled, as they found the girl's excitement fun - "Well, it seems you're both ready to go" -
"Wait, what about the Servants? Shouldn't they know before we go?" - Ritsuka asked with curiosity.
"We'll let them know later. Right now they're busy cleaning up the mess that little ghost left in here" - Caster Da Vinci answered with an annoyed look in her face - "Now, if you're ready, go towards the coffins" -
The Masters did as told, getting inside the coffins and preparing for rayshift into this strange new world. Surprisingly, Caster Da Vinci decided to go with them.
"Wait, why are you…?" -
"Oh, it will only be temporary Tatsuko Chan, don't worry. It's just that there's something that I think I'll be needed for" - the Caster answered with a wink.
Both Masters decided to not question her further. If she was coming she had a good reason to. Instead, they said their goodbye to Rider Da Vinci as the rayshift started, taking them towards a new adventure in the Paldea Region.
Their own Treasure Hunt was about to begin.
Been in a little Scarlet and Violet craze since I got the game so I wanted to make a fanfic out of it.
The Pokemon that attacked Chaldea is Flutter Mane, and if anyone wonders why it seemed so powerful… Well, just check her current Showdown status.
By the way, despite using the same name, the Tatsuko here is unrelated to the one from Chaldean Chronicles.
