"Last time, our heroes battled Dr. Eggman and defeated his Pokemon and robotic forces, just as Eggman's Egg Cannon was about to destroy them, Red, a legendary Pokemon League Champion from Kanto saved them. Eggman escaped, but Red gave some words of advice to our heroes which inspired them to become famous as he was. In Santalune Forest, they met one of Sonic's rivals; Shadow the Hedgehog, Mobius's Ultimate Lifeform who surprisingly looks like Sonic except for his black fur. Our heroine and her friends' journey continues." The Narrator narrated.

Chapter 4: First Gym Battle: Inuyasha and Friends Join!

The gang with Shadow sat down on a mat with Serena and Zoey preparing lunch. Meanwhile, Shauna, Tierno and Trevor were having a discussion with Sonic and Shadow.

"So Shadow is your friend slash rival who is the Ultimate Lifeform created by this Dr. Eggman's grandfather with the blood of an evil alien overlord?" Trevor asked, piecing together what Sonic has told him and his friends about Shadow. Shadow grunted, he hated being reminded of being the son of Black Doom, but he has fulfilled his promise to Maria and has let go of the past.

"Please, I don't want to talk about my past..." Shadow muttered. his Poochyena looked at him in concern.

"Sorry." Trevor apologized. "Say, I can't help but notice the Poochyena with you. They're really rare in the Kalos region. In Hoenn, they're pretty common there."

"I found it in a egg possibly left behind by its parents. After it hatched about two days ago after I arrived here, it looked at me as if I was its mother or father, so I decide to make it my Pokemon. I got some Pokeballs from some kind trainers, but this one doesn't like Pokeballs." Shadow explained as Zoey and Serena came back with some food.

"Whoa. That sounds cool. Hey Sonic, are you thinking of entering the Kalos Pokemon League since you now own a Torchic?" Shauna asked him.

"Hmm... Now that you mentioned it, since battles are done only by Pokemon, I haven't given thought about that... So yeah, I'll enter the Kalos Pokemon League." Sonic nodded with a smile.

"Hmph, if Sonic is entering, so am I." Shadow remarked.

After eating their food, the gang thought about the first Gym battle in Santalune City.

"I heard the Gym Leader there specializes in bug type Pokemon. So we need either Flying Type Pokemon or Fire Types. Big Z has caught a Pidgey and a Fletchling. So Big Z should train her Fletchling to level 17, there it can evolve into a Flying and Fire type Pokemon." Serena calculated.

"Sounds like a plan." Zoey nodded with a smile.

"Hey Shadow, wanna travel with me and Zoey? She and her friends know about this world more than we do." Sonic offered.

Shadow thought about it for about 20 seconds till he sighed and muttered "Fine..."

"Afterwards, Zoey caught a Caterpie and a Pansear, preparing her for the Gym Battle in Santalune City. Then, Serena gave Zoey, Sonic and Shadow Adventure Rules." The Narrator narrated.

"Come on, guys! The Pokemon Center will close in half an hour!" Zoey shouted as she and her friends head into the Pokemon Center of Santalune City after exiting from Route 3. They entered in, just in time. The doors closed behind them when they entered the Pokemon Center.

"Talk about a close shave..." Trevor wheezed as he gasped for breath.

"So this place is where you heal your Pokemon for free?" Sonic looked at the Pokemon Center, a Nurse Joy walked up to them.

"Yes. I take it you're beginning Pokemon Trainers?" Nurse Joy asked with a sweet smile. (A/N: In my story, Nurse Joy family line and Officer Jenny family line exist in the Pokemon game series' timeline.)

"You bet!" Shauna grinned as she did a little dance.

"Well, there are spare rooms in the Center here. So feel free to spend the night here." Nurse Joy told them.

"Sweet!" Sonic smiled, Shadow grunted.

"Okay then. Let us rest for the night and begin training for the Gym Battle in Santalune City." Zoey smiled.

"Very well. Good night, Zoey." Serena said good night as the gang went into their own rooms to sleep for the night. Zoey slept with Pikachu snuggling in her arms, she was careful not to get it to electrocute her.

The next morning...

"Lalalala!" Zoey sang in the shower. Pikachu and Froakie were keeping an eye out for peepers. Luckily, there were none. Soon, Zoey was dressed and called back Froakie. Pikachu stayed where it was.

Zoey then walked up to the front desk and gave her Pokeballs and Pikachu to Nurse Joy where she healed her Pokemon. "There you go. Your Pokemon are now in tip top shape. Be careful not to overwork them." Nurse Joy closed her eyes and smiled.

"I won't, Nurse Joy. Thank you for letting us spend the night here." Zoey smiled back as she figured everyone else have gotten their Pokemon healed. The rest of the gang walked up to her.

"Everyone sleep well?" Zoey asked with a cheery smile.

"Yep! Slept like a log." Tierno did a dance move.

"Alright. We should get some training before me, Serena, Sonic and Shadow prepare for the Santalune Gym." Zoey suggested.

"As for me, I'm going to look for more Pokemon for my Pokedex." Trevor stated.

"Me too. I'm gonna look for more Pokemon for my dance group." Tierno added as he and Trevor exited the Pokemon Center.

"Alright, after training, I'm gonna root for you at the Santalune Gym!" Shauna sang peacefully.

Suddenly, they heard a "Outta my way, wrench!" Confused, they turned to see Inuyasha arguing with Officer Jenny. His friends only watched on as the arrogant half dog demon argue with the police officer.

"You look suspicious. What's with the Pokemon ears on your head?" Officer Jenny pointed at Inuyasha accusingly. "Either state your business or do I have to take you and your friends to the police station?"

"I don't care what a police station is! We're looking for three girls and a hedgehog demon!" Inuyasha snapped.

"What is a hedgehog? Sir, if you don't calm down, I may have to call my Pokemon to keep you calmed." Officer Jenny frowned as she got her hand on her Pokeball.

"What seems to be the trouble, Officer Jenny?" Zoey asked, she and her friends walked up to them.

"Oh, are these people with you? And what are those two strange Pokemon right next to you?" Jenny asked, looking at them with a calm smile.

"These wenches stole the Shikon Jewel shards from us!" Inuyasha snapped angrily.

"Huh? You mean the pretty jewels I found when we first met you, weird eared man?" Shauna ruffled through her backpack and got out three pink shards.

"Oh is that so? Well, if you found these shards, then you keep them. Finder's keepers as they always say. Since you know those people, I will let that weird eared man off the hook. Thank you and have a good day." Officer Jenny closed her eyes and smiled as she left.

"But... But..." Inuyasha's mouth twiched in anger as he turned to face our heroes and growled angrily. "Give me back the jewel shards now!"

"Hmph. And why pray tell do you want these weak shards? They're nothing compared to the Chaos Emeralds." Shadow sneered.

"What the hell are Chaos Emeralds?! If you don't give me those damn shards, I'll-" Before Inuyasha can finish, Kagome shouted "Sit, boy!" and Inuyasha once again kissed his friend, the ground.

Kagome walked up to our heroes and with a cute smile, introduced herself. "My name is Kagome Higurishi. This is Inuyasha whom you met not too long ago, Shippo who is a fox demon, the perverted monk Miroku, Sango who is a demon hunter and her friend Kirara. Listen, those shards you're holding are really dangerous in the wrong hands. You can keep them if you like, but if you give them to us, we'll make sure they won't be used for evil." She explained.

"Say..." Sonic spoke up. "How exactly did you get into this world?"

The demon hunters looked at one another, pondering that question. It was then Sango spoke up.

"We were fighting an evil demon named Naraku back in our world. Naraku has the almost completed Shikon Jewel and we were about to get the last three shards before he can till we felt a energy wave that appeared out of nowhere, Naraku must have felt it too and a white light appeared and we were transported here, separated from each other until now. So if we arrived in this world..." Sango gulped.

"That bastard Naraku is here too..." Inuyasha stood up and growled angrily.

"Uh oh... I think I know..." Sonic grimaced.

"You do?" Shippo looked at the Azure Wind in confusion.

"Yeah. During my fight with an enemy named Dr. Eggman in my world, I destroyed his machine powered by 7 gems powerful than this Shikon Jewel you mentioned along with an also powerful gem called the Master Emerald. However, it caused Chaos Control and I'm willing to bet me and my friends warping into this world must have reached your world as well." Sonic explained grimly.

"What?! Are you saying these gems are more powerful than the Shikon Jewel?!" Inuyasha gawked for a moment before snorting "Yeah right..."

"What are those gems called again?" Miroku asked Sonic.

"They're Chaos Emeralds and they are extremely powerful. If they fall into the wrong hands, the universe could be in trouble. I don't understand your hatred for this Naraku character, but if he finds out about the Chaos Emeralds..." Sonic stopped in mid-sentence.

"He'll be unstoppable..." Sango frowned.

"I'll kill him if he has the chance to take these not so important gems!" Inuyasha growled as he readies his Tetsusaiga. But Zoey stopped him.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! I wouldn't use that weapon if I were you. We let Pokemon do the battling for us." Zoey gave a reassuring smile.

"Pokemon?" Inuyasha looked at Pikachu and let out a mean laugh before adding "You mean to tell me this weak ass creature is capable of fighting?!"

"Pika pi!" Pikachu said angrily as he hopped off of Zoey's shoulder before walking up to Inuyasha, grinning evilly and shocked him.

Inuyasha winched as he tried to ease the pain. "Okay, okay... I believe you..."

"Question." Shippo piped up. "Where do Pokemon come from?"

"Hmm..." Serena scratched her chin in thought. "That's a good question. Truth is, no one knows the true origin of Pokemon. They have been around since the dawn of time. They lived beside humans for so long that they used them for battling." She explained.

"That's interesting." Kagome clapped her hands in happiness.

"So we don't know what world you guys came from, but in this world, we let Pokemon do the battling." Zoey explained as she sat down.

"So what? We're gonna let these Poke- whatever they're called do the fighting for us. Great... stuck in a world with the only way home are seven gems..." Inuyasha moaned.

"Well, if either Zoey, me or Shadow win a Gym battle, we can get the Chaos Emeralds and we can use Chaos Control to get us home. So why don't travel with us and learn more about Pokemon?" Sonic suggested with a grin.

"That sounds good. Everyone else?" Kagome turned to her friends with a smile. Her friends including Inuyasha who doesn't want anymore sits agreed.

"And so, after training for 3 hours, Zoey's Pokemon reached level 9. She is now ready for the Santalune Gym Battle. Then, at the Gym's entrance, Zoey battled a skater who after being defeated, gives our heroine roller skates of her own." The Narrator narrated.

Zoey and the gang entered the gym. It has portraits of bug Pokemon and is a stadium at the same time. Viola turned to face the Trainers with a cheery smile and said "Oh, challengers, huh? Welcome to the Santalune City Gym. I'm the Gym Leader, Viola. Wielder of Bug Pokemon. It has always been a hobby of mine to collect bug Pokemon and take pictures of them. So which one of you is gonna challenge me?"

Zoey stepped forward and declared "I will be your opponent, Viola. I'm entering the Kalos Pokemon League and this will be a great battle in my goal to become the Kalos Pokemon League Champion." The Pokemon Trainer smiled.

"Very well. I accept your challenge." Viola smiled back.

(20 seconds later...)

Both Zoey and Viola were standing on the sides, the others were watching from the stands.

The referee stepped forward. "This will be a one on one battle between Viola, the Gym Leader of Santalune City and Zoey Hanson from Vaniville Town. Let the match begin!" The referee waves his hand down horizontally.

"Go! Surskit!" Viola grinned as she threw her Pokeball and out came a white flying Bug Type Pokemon.

'Hmm... a Surskit. Using Froakie is a big no no since it is also a Water type Pokemon... I got it, I'll use Pikachu!' Zoey smirked as she shouted "Go, Pikachu!"

"Pika pikaaaa!" Pikachu acknowledged as it got into the battlefield.

"Hmm... a Pikachu. Good choice for the start of the battle. Surski, use Aerial Ace!" Viola commented before ordering her Pokemon to attack.

"Surskit, skit skit!" Surskit obeyed as it flaps its wings to make a wind blade at Pikachu.

"Pikachu, dodge it and use Thundershock!" Zoey commanded. Pikachu dodged the attack and used Thundershock to hit Surskit. It was super effective."

"That was a smart move. She knew Surskit was not only a Bug type, but also a Water type and Flying type." Serena smiled as she looked at the battle.

"Huh? What does that mean?" Shippo looked at his new friends in confusion.

"Um..." Shauna placed her pinkie on her chin in thought. "Each Pokemon has strength and weaknesses due to the various types they are from. Fire is strong against Ice while Fire is weak against Water. So if a Fire type Pokemon is hit by a Water type, it will increase the damage really high."

"I see. So Pokemon have strengths and weaknesses to the opposite type." Sango figured.

"Is this match over yet?" Inuyasha asked, bored.

"Not bad for a rookie Trainer. Surskit use Bubble!" Viola ordered as her Pokemon blew powerful bubbles which hit Pikachu for medium damage.

"Pikachu! Finish the first round by Thundershock!" Zoey commanded.

"Pikaaaaa..." Pikachu's red cheeks sparkled with electricty as he leaped into the air and shouted "CHUUUUUUUUUU!" The thunderbolt hit Surskit, shocking it which made it fall to the ground. When Surskit tried to get it, it fell back down and has swirly eyes.

"Surskit is unable to battle! Viola will now choose her second and final Pokemon. Zoey Hanson can use any remaining Pokemon she has left. If wishes to use her current Pokemon, then it is okay." The referee announced.

"You did good, Surskit. Return." Viola smiled softly as she called back her Surskit. She looked at her opponent with determination and said "My next Pokemon won't go down easily. Go, Vivillon!" The Santalune Gym Leader threw her second Pokeball and out came a gray and purple butterfly looking Pokemon.

"Alright, Vivillon. Start things off by using Infestation!" Viola smirked as her Vivillon spit out a grunk which hit Pikachu and hurting it slowly.

"Pika, pika!" Pikachu gawked as he struggled to break free.

"Whoa! What type of move is that?!" Zoey asked surprisingly.

"Infestation damages the Pokemon if it connects and prevents them from leaving the battle. Now, Vivillon, finish the battle with Confusion!" Viola ordered.

"Vivi!" Vivillon acknowledged as it used a energy wave attack which Pikachu. Pikachu struggled to get up, but its legs buckled and it has swirly eyes.

"Pikachu!" Zoey gasped as she rushed up to her Pokemon and hugged it gently. "You did well, Pikachu. Take a rest." Zoey placed Pikachu in a safe side. She got out Pansear's Pokeball and threw it and shouted "I choose you, Pansear!"

Pansear appeared and it shouted "Pansear!"

"Vivillon, use Infestation again!" Viola ordered.

"Pansear, dodge it and use Ember!" Zoey ordered, Pansear did as it was told and dodged the attack. the Fire monkey Pokemon spit out fireballs which hit Vivillon. It was super effective.

"Oh no! Use Gust, Vivillon!" Viola panicked and ordered at the same time.

"Pansear dodge it and end the battle with Ember!" Zoey ordered, Pansear leaped up after dodging the wind attack and spit out mini fireballs which hit Vivillon, causing the bug type Pokemon to fall into the ground, swirly eyes and all.

"Vivillon is unable to battle! The winner is Zoey Hanson from Vaniville Town!" The referee declared.

Zoey ran up to Pansear and hugged him, which the fire monkey hugged her back. "We did it, Pansear! We won our first Gym Battle!"

"Way to go, Big Z!" Shauna cheered.

"Yes. Excellent battle." Serena nodded with a smile.

Viola called back her Pokemon and walked up to Zoey with a smile.

"Zoey, your passion and determination for your Pokemon has helped you won your first Gym battle. Remember to always cherish your Pokemon and train them for future battles. So I hereby award you with the Bug Badge. You only need seven more Badges to enter the Pokemon League of the Kalos Region. I don't have one of those seven gems offered for winning a Gym Battle, but I bet the other seven has them." Viola grinned as she gave Zoey the Bug Badge.

Zoey looked at her Badge and smiled confidently. 'Just seven more Badges and I'll face the Elite Four and Kalos Pokemon League Champion...'

"With compassion, determination and confidence in her Pokemon, Zoey won her first Gym Battle. She only needs seven more Badges to enter the Kalos Pokemon League for the title of Pokemon League Champion of Kalos. She also needs to win the seven Chaos Emeralds to help Sonic and his friends get back to their world of Mobius and return Inuyasha and his friends back to their own dimension." The Narrator narrated.
