"Hi!" cheered Celebi.

She was floating just in front of me, being really REALLY perky.

"Who are you?" she asked. "And what brings you here to my humble, humble home?"

"If she doesn't take it down a notch, I'm gonna scorch her," growled Eden.

"We are an exploration team plus two," I said. "The plus two referring to the Charizard and the Espeon behind me. And we are here to ask for your help."

"Sure," smiled Celebi. "How may I help help help you?"

I heard Eden growl behind me. Her aura showed signs of annoyance.

"We need to travel through time," I continued. "We need to find out why Lucario has been this way, what made him so... 'evil'."

"Okay," said Celebi. "First, we should-"

"NO!" roared Eden. "Get this done NOW!"

Celebi squeaked in fear, before letting loose a majorly strong Psychic Attack that sent Eden flying.

"Now that that negativity has been stopped," Celebi beamed, "we shall continue."

We stood in a circle, Celebi in the centre.

"Time Travel!" said Celebi.

There was a flash of bright, golden light and we landed in a desert. On an altar of stone, stood a Riolu. An Electabuzz, flanked by a Rhydon and a Magmar, was handing him a badge.

"This," said Eden, "is the Sandstorm Desert, where you graduate into the Bounty Hunters' Legion. Those three Pokémon on the altar, the ones giving Riolu a Hunter Badge, they're Team Alpha, the leaders of the Bounty Hunters' Legion. I didn't know Lucario was once a member."

"It seems you have learnt what you need from this timeline," said Celebi. "Let's move on."

Another flash of golden light. Now we were in a forest. Lucario had evolved and was now facing off against a Mamoswine. Both looked tired.

"Aura Sphere!" Lucario hollered, blasting Mamoswine.

Mamoswine fainted. Out of nowhere ran a Tropius.

"Thank you," said Tropius. "We don't know how to repay you."

"The reward would be nice," Lucario growled.

"We didn't offer a reward," frowned Tropius.

"WHAT?!?!" roared Lucario. "You're going to regret crossing me!"

And with that, he Force Palmed the Tropius into a tree.

Another flash of golden light. We were in the same place, but now Lucario was talking to Houndoom and Blaziken.

"We must stop Dialga and Palkia from getting to my future trainer," Lucario frowned. "They say he's the only one who can stop our plan."

Suddenly, an earthquake shook the tree we were hiding behind. Lucario and the others were running toward the river, so we followed them. And there, towering taller than the embankment we were on, stood Palkia and Dialga.

"Roar Of Time!" shouted Dialga.

"Spacial Rend!" roared Palkia.

At their command, another earthquake formed. Then, a huge gust of wind picked up as the sky ripped apart, a hole appearing above us. Out of the hole came glittering, swirling lights. They descended as the portal closed. Then, Palkia turned to Dialga, the lights hovering between them.

"HE MUST BE TURNED TO A POKÉMON," Palkia growled. "HAVING A HUMAN COME TO THE POKÉMON WORLD WOULD CAUSE MASS CHAOS, THEREBY RUINING OUR PLAN."

The swirling lights then transformed into Jay, as he was laid upon the ground. Palkia and Dialga disappeared.

"Oh my god!"

Below us ran Gloom as an Oddish.

"Excuse me?" Oddish asked. "Are you okay?"

Lucario turned to Houndoom.

"Burn this forest down. Leave nothing left."

They left.

Then came another flash of light.
