All right, sorry it took so long for me to update this but my one and only computer broke ( I mean completely full out kind of broken) so I had no way to work on this, but luckily I got a new one! (Even though it took some time) So a moment of silence for the deceased…all right I'm over it, it sucked any way. But that's enough about me and my apology let's get to the Pokemon X Star wars awesomeness!
Ash Ketchum stood under the archway into the town that held his Pokemon tournament. He waited with his arms crossed and tapped his right foot impatiently waiting for his friends to finally catch up with him. As always he had his trusty partner Pikachu on his shoulder giving a bright smile at the usual go-getter attitude of his trainer.
"How…does…he have this much energy?" Asked a worn out and still panting Dawn leaning on her knees for support.
"Piplup pip pip." Squeaked Piplup sitting on Dawn's head agreeing with her.
"I have no idea." Said a tired out Brock pulling up beside her. As long as he had known Ash, his friend had always been overly energetic and active, but as time went on through their journeys together and this comment said by Dawn he began to really think and question it. Ash always seemed to always have energy to spare even when others who were running the same length had tired out. He was able to bond with almost any Pokemon given enough time and develops strong connections with his own. Even Ash's reflexes seemed heightened than most peoples especially during that aura adventure with
Sir Aaron's Lucario.
Maybe the aura had something to do with it or maybe he was just reading to deeply into something. Either way he decided just to drop it and enjoy the happy-go-lucky attitudes of his friends. Dawn and Brock finally caught up to Ash waiting for them under the arch way.
"What town is this again?" Asked Dawn in between breaths.
"The sign says Ruiam Town." Brock said reading from a sign next to the arch. Ash and Dawn walked over to the sign and leaned down to read it with Bock, with Dawn reading out loud for the group.
"Ruiam Town- Working to make the final leap to space possible. In close association with the Mossdeep and Veilstone city space centers see Ruiam space center for details."
"Really a space center! Can we go?" Dawn shouted excitedly clasping her hands together in front of her while her eyes sparkled with excitement.
"No way, I have to get registered right away for the tournament before it's too late!"
"It's always about your battles isn't it?"
"That's not true. I just don't want to be too late to register!"
"All right you two calm down." Said Brock cutting in between the two to quell the argument. Pikachu sighed with a "Pika" at the usual antics of his human friends when suddenly his ear started twitching bringing his attention to the sky. Pokemon being more attuned to nature than humans can usually sense when something's off. Looking up into the sky Pikachu sensed something very, very wrong as did Piplup who was also looking up at the sky. Staring at the sky Pikachu sensed something, something that wasn't supposed to be there, falling towards the outskirts of the town.
"All right we'll quickly go see the space center for Dawn, and then we'll go to Ash's battle tournament so that everyone's happy okay?" Said Brock quelling the argument.
"Sounds good to me, right Pikachu?" Agreed Ash smiling and asking his yellow companion. At the sound of his trainer's voice Pikachu took his attention away from the distraction in the sky whatever it was and turned to Ash's face and let out a "Pika".
"All right! Then let's go!" Shouted Dawn enthusiastically striking her fist in the air. As the group walked through the arch Pikachu and Piplup pushed the thought of the mysterious falling object out of their minds, and focus on the town that lay ahead of them. Had they been more attentive, and had the humans stayed longer they would have seen, and heard the faint explosion just out side the town.
A bunch of Pokemon living in their forest habitat just outside Ruiam Town scurried away quickly from the loud boom. A few of the more curious ones such as Sentret, Zigzagoon, and miscellaneous bug types went to the site of the detonation to see the intruder. They stood at the edge of the forest looking onto a billowing column of smoke rising up from the grassy knoll between Ruiam Town and the forest.
When enough smoke cleared from view the Pokemon saw what looked like to them as a new Pokemon, one that fell from the sky and made a sizable crater on its landing. The sleek, black, viper class probe-droid upon hitting the ground activated it's self. Its red protoceptor eye switched on giving of an ominous red glow, as various mechanical tendrils fell from its main body each fitted with an assortment of tools. Using it's built in repulsorlifts; it started to hover out of the crater it made on its impact.
It then shot a thin stream of red light from its red glowing eye scanning the Pokemon, and sending the acquired data back to imperial base. The curious Pokemon now overtaken with fear fled back into their forest, giving loud calls and hollers in warning to the other creatures. The probot, pleased with the information it gathered started hovering over to the nearest sign of civilization to gather information about the planet for imperial intelligence.
Walking into Ruiam Town, before the group could go to the space center or the battle tournament, their attention was drawn to the statue of a Pokemon directly down the road from the town's main entrance and standing in the town square about two stories tall.
"Hey isn't that-" Dawn began before Ash finished her sentence.
"Deoxys!" The group stared up at the statue of one of the strange entities of their world.
"Impressive isn't it?" Came a feminine voice from behind the group. The group startled turned on their heels to face a woman with a long pony tail and maroon colored hair.
"Yes it is miss, but why have a statue of Deoxys here?" Asked Dawn curiously.
"Here at Ruiam town we take pride in our space center and trying to figure out the mysteries of space. Two of the biggest ones being are we alone, and a more engineeritive one being how to get off this planet in the first place. As you may already know, since you recognized the Pokemon, Deoxys wasn't a Pokemon from here but an alien virus that underwent a mutation once it landed. Learning about this we use Deoxys as our inspiration and hope to find it someday and learn where it came from."
"We?" Questioned Ash.
"Oh, so sorry! I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Maddy the director of the Ruiam town space center and hostess of the Ruiam Pokemon battle tournament!"
Five janitors were busily sweeping the back yard of the Ruiam space center. To any normal bystander this would look just like a normal group of law abiding janitors albeit with one being a midget and another being overweight and having a skin condition. However underneath this janitorial disguise was the diabolical, and sinister (at least in their eyes for incompetent might be a better word instead.) Team Rocket.
After checking their surroundings to make there was no one around they huddled into a group to formulate their next plan.
"All right so what's the deal?" James asked Meowth who was more than happy to give one of his infamous boss dreams.
"Alright it goes like this. When no one's looking we sneak in to this advanced research laboratory where they're sure to have all sorts o' high tech whatsamacallits, and doohickeys. Once we snatch a few of 'em we use these new gadgets to capture the twerps
Pikachu and give them to da' boss in a two-for-one deal. Once he sees them he'll say to himself: 'Meowth and his friends have been so kind to give me this exceptionally powerful Pikachu and poke stealing contraptions I'm going to make sure their wallets steal an extra pay check'." Meowth broke the fantasy making the entire members smile in agreement to this plan.
"Were dreaming and a scheming, now start believing!" Team Rocket chanted in happiness at thinking about capturing Pikachu and getting a promotion.
"Wobbafett!"
"Mime, mime!"
Suddenly Jessie felt something rub against her back making her turn around and lash out at it.
"Hey! Just who do you think you-" She stopped dead in her tracks when she saw what rubbed against her. Hovering before her was the imperial probot staring right at her with its gleaming red protoceptor eye, and mismatch of electronic tools and tendrils hanging loosely.
"Whoa, what do you think dat is?"
"I don't know Meowth, but it's giving me the heebie-jeebies" The probot then shot a thin red line out of its eye running it up and down Team Rocket scanning them like it did, to the Pokemon.
"Whatever it is I want it out of here, now!" Raged Jessie her temper flaring as she threw a punch at the probot. The probe droid in response hovered out of the way and clasped one of it's tendrils around her wrist while removing another tendril with a needle tool attached to it. At seeing this Jessie's face lost all rage and had a look of fear plastered across it instead.
"Don't worry Jess we'll save you!"
"Wobbafett!"
"Mime, mime!" Cried James as he, Meowth, Wobbafett, and all tugged at Jessie trying to break her free from the probot's mechanical tendril. The tugging at Jessie shook the probot from side to side disrupting it's aim forcing it to retract it needle appendage back in, and send out a distress signal in binary code.
Programmed not to abort the mission until absolutely necessary; the probot extended its hidden blaster barrel from the center of its circular body.
"What's dat?" Asked Meowth who was soon answered. The probot while still being shook fired off a few wildly aimed blaster shots. At being fired upon Team Rocket instantly let go, shaking Jessie free in the process, and cowered in the Childs pose. When seeing Team Rocket cowering the probot quickly hovered out of sight sending it's in cryptic binary message.
"This is Eclipse to Starkiller. Did you find anything yet?" Juno asked over the intercom.
No, nothing yet, but I can sense creatures in these woods, but…there's great fear coming from them and it wasn't caused by me."
"Alright but be alert for whatever spooked them." Starkiller nodded and walked onward through the woods searching for the Jedi. Landing on this planet he found the task harder then he previously thought. The strange creatures that Juno picked up on the scanner were strong in the force, each one sending out its own signal making it hard for Starkiller to pinpoint the location of the actual Jedi.
Coming out of the woods Starkiller saw a rather large crater in the ground and decided to check it out to see if it had any connection as to why the creatures were scared.
"Could those creatures have caused this?" He asked himself. Looking furtherer into the crater he found burnt metal residue.
"No, they couldn't have caused this."
"Master there's an imperial probot in the vicinity and it's sending out a binary distress signal. Even though it's far away the closest imperial base will alerted of its presence here. Strange what would it be looking for in the unknown regions?" Proxy reported to Starkiller.
Suddenly fear over washed Starkiller as he figured out what caused the crater, and that he's probably not the only one looking for Jedi in the galaxy.
"Oh no this is bad, I have to find the Jedi. Proxy give me the exact location of that signal!"
"Alright it's in the town just ahead of your location."
With that Starkiller ran towards Ruiam town in search of his potential Jedi.
The group entered the Ruiam space center marveling at the grand gesture of the lobby. The floor was made up of sleek dark blue tiles in an effort to make it look high tech and more futuristic. To the left and right were staircases leading up to a corridor with four doors each leading to a different exhibition path. In the center of the lobby above the receptionist desk was a 1:10,000 scale model of the planet.
"Impressive isn't it? I helped the architects and engineers design this place myself. Our exhibits are mostly about the space shuttles and equipment we build as well as about the planet it's self."
"Wow this place is so big." Ash said in amazement starring wide eyed with the rest of the group.
"Yeah, especially the model of our planet!" Dawn agreed with Ash.
"Yes, our planet is amazing. Filled with these wonderful creatures and people but there has to be something more out there. Wouldn't you like to leave this desolate rock and see the place were Deoxys came from and many others too?"
"Huh?" Said Ash confused at Maddy's sudden change in demeanor.
Oh, it's nothing just the ramblings of an ambitious dreamer that's all!" She replied in her defense waving her hands in front of her.
"I can relate to that. My dream is to become the world's greatest Pokemon master with my partner Pikachu, Right buddy?"
"Pika" Pikachu cried happily agreeing.
"And mine's to become a top coordinator just like my mom!"
"Pip pip lup."
Maddy looked at both Ash and Dawn and smiled.
"Well, I hope you both do well on your respective paths."
"Thanks!" Both Ash and Dawn shouted. Ash then noticed the clock on the far wall of the space center and noticed he had only ten minuets left before registration closed.
"Oh, no I'm going to be late!"
"No you won't."
Ash's attention was drawn back to Maddy who was smiling.
"I wouldn't have dragged you and your friends out here, if I couldn't make it back in time myself to the very tournament I'm hosting. Follow me to the centers back garage, I'll show you the latest project we've been working on that will get us there in time."
AN: Alright so I couldn't put the action in this chapter like I said but plot developments also important. The probot is that type of droid that found the rebel's base on Hoth in the fifth movie if you're wondering. About the question about what year the force unleashed is in and Ash's age; Wookkieepedia says that the force unleashed takes place in 3bby so if Ash is ten in cannon that would make him born in 13bby(the empire was formed in 19bby). More star wars trivia for today is that an X-wing made a cameo in the banned episode Electric Solider Porygon. Could the creator of Pokemon be a secret star wars fan? Well anyway, keep the reviews coming and I'll keep on writing, until next time, may the force and aura be with you.
