Welcome back once again, to a new chapter of Radiant Versus Dire. Firstly, I have to clarify a few things about this story:
NOTE:The abilities the Dexholders get will not be based on Pokemon Types. It will be fully customized (or nearly fully customized) and no, the story is not a crossover of Pokemon and DotA 2. Instead, I made some of the Dexholders have skills alike compared to DotA heroes, for example Platinum's Chronosphere. I do hope this clarifies your problems.
Answering to my reviewers (need more, please)
reregniL: Well, actually no, but I kind of get the ideas from those. It is not a crossover though.
FireMightyena: Well don't worry, Platinum has other abilities besides time controlling because I felt that she is too awesome to go with just one simple and energy-costing ability. It will be slowly revealed later. Oh and of course Gold will start to have fun with his new ability. He could... turn his billiard cue into a lightning sword... maybe? Just an idea.
Daownlyone: Hi bro:D your questions are answered via PM, but just to clarify once again that no you know what, except maybe for Red since its obvious. For the others, it is going to be special. VERY SPECIAL (or at least I think), so enjoy! :D
MISC: Some of the Dexholders have very special supportive abilities, and some have specific abilities for specific operations. They were almost fully customized by me myself, but feel free to suggest anything and I even may have a chance to use the ability you suggested and apply it on one of the Dexholders I deem fit.

Arc 1 – Immersing in our own power
Chapter 3 – The Dexholders' Rising
Snowpoint City
The Dexholders gathered infront the Snowpoint City docks as they discussed on how should they continue their journey and most importantly – recover their Pokemons.
The Sinnoh girl excused herself as she made a call using her Poke Gear. Diamond and Pearl assume that Miss Lady will be trying to organize staying for all the Dexholders since they need to stay together now and find their Pokemon.
"Seniors, Diamond and Pearl, please follow me. I have arranged shelter for us against this cold snow, and we shall be staying there indefinitely." Platinum started as she bowed to her seniors in formality that made Emerald and Crystal stumble backwards once again.
"Platinum... are you always this polite and formal?" Crystal raised an eyebrow and began.
"Get over it, senior Crystal. Miss Lady was like this when we first met her, and I assume that being polite is not a bad thing either."
"Of course being polite is good, unlike someone I know..."
"Hey, watch it, Super Serious Gal!" Gold retaliated even though Crystal does not even spoke out his name.
"Did you actually admitted that you have no proper attire and manners before I even pointed out that I am talking about you?"
"Seniors, please do not quarrel. Right now, our first priority is to arrange shelter for everyone."
"Alright then. Let's go." As the leader, Red signaled everyone to follow the heiress.
With just less than thirty minutes of walking, the Dexholders arrived at a huge mansion. Apparently, the mansion had a "For rent/sale" sign on the front gate, but Platinum tore it down without caring much.
"Uhh... are we actually breaking into a house and staying inside there?" Gold scratched her head while questioning his junior. Platinum raised an eyebrow and gave him an expression that indicates that she does not understand what Gold is talking about.
"What do you mean by 'breaking into a house?' I bought it half an hour ago.
"WHATTTTTT? The Dexholders could not believe what they just heard. Did their junior, Platinum, just bought the whole big f*cking mansion down?
"This...even Gold's big fu- freaking house could not compare to this." Even the cold and calm Silver has a trace of bewilderment in it.
"Hello, yes grandpa, we will be at..." Green muttered the address to his grandfather so that his grandfather may visit them to... discuss... about the current situation.
"Platinum, does this mansion have billiard tables in it? Oh Arceus, I cant fu-" Gold said as he rubbed his hands out of excitement and glee but got slammed down by Crystal due to swearing. This time, Gold got back up at light speed and started to charge his fist with lightning to scare off Crystal.
Crystal used her hand to cover her face by instinct, and was confounded when a wall of pure crystal started to form right infront her hands.
"Woah... what was that?" Blue said as she pointed to Crystal's... crystal wall. Did she just summoned a barrier or something?"
"I have no idea...what I just did." Crystal said as she mysteriously 'undid' the barrier using pure mind force. Perhaps this have something to do with psychic power, but this have to wait to be found out.
"Crystal, try forming a blade. Maybe that could help us in battle when one occurs." Ruby suggested as Crystal nodded and successfully formed a bright transparent bluish crystal blade, which is utterly awesome.
"This is starting to get interesting." Green smirked as he once again shook his hand and imagined anything he could imagine, but nothing happened. "Damn it, this is seriously not fair."
Everyone else talked about what their granted abilities might be, except Gold and Emerald whom challenged each other to a billiard match once they noticed the billiard table(s) in the super huge living room. Hell, this might even have the size of Gold's house in one living room!
"Seniors, I had arranged for some of my housemaids to come here for your service. Please make yourself at home." Platinum said to the other seniors who are still stunned by the prestigious mansion they were offered to stay in.
"Yes, we definitely will..." Blue said while looking around with her mouth wide open.
"I guess you are the best junior I ever had." Red smiled at Platinum, which she happily nodded. Sapphire glared daggers at Red upon hearing this.
The Dexholders made themselves at home. Some chose their (incredibly luxurious) rooms, while Diamond and Platinum went to the kitchen to cook... or do whatever they are going to do alone with each other. Gold were counting Poke Dollars while Emerald groaned after getting a lose streak that caused him to lose 10 000 Poke Dollars. (Equivalent to 100 USD in real life)
Red opened his wallet and looked at the photo inside – it was a photo of him and all of his Pokemon. He missed them very much although the satellite cannon incident happened just days ago.
Blue was... plotting something against the Sinnoh heiress and relaxed boy in the kitchen while scribbling something on her handy notepad. Green looked at her and assumed that it is definitely something bad. At least to him, but not for Diamond and Platinum, I suppose...
Crystal was practicing her newly acquired ability – Crystal Forming. She formed blades, swords, bows and arrows with just in a blink of an eye. They were all made out of pure bluish crystal that shone brightly. For safety reasons, she practiced outside the mansion just in case she accidentally hurt somebody with her crystallized weapons.
After a marvelous lunch made by Diamond (with the 'help' of a bad cook – Platinum, someone knocked on the door. For safety reasons, Dexholders who discovered their abilities (namely Gold, Crystal and Platinum) stood infront the door while Platinum answered the doorbell just in case any invaders came. Surprisingly or not, the one standing at the mansion gate was Professor Oak instead, with a briefcase containing... some complex databases.
"Good to see you, gramps." Green said in monotone as he sat down on the huge freaking couch and gestured for his grandfather to take a seat. The others followed suit, interested in Professor Oak's speech... for the first time ever in their lives.
"Before I analyze the situation, can some of you show me the abilities you acquired after the explosion?" Professor Oak began, and Gold immediately charged up his electric hand. Platinum followed suit by stopping the time for 3 seconds, and then reverting it to its normal state. Platinum looked awfully tired even though its just a mere 3 seconds of time pausing. Lastly, Crystal formed a bluish crystallized sword with her hand, and handed it over to Professor Oak.
"What in the world... what had the explosion made you?" Even the renowned scholar Professor Oak is genuinely surprised and struck dumb by the 'effects' he was looking at.
"Despite this, some of us have not have a chance to discover our abilities yet, if we had any." Blue said in a serious tone, to which Green nodded while looking at his Pokedex. Professor Oak immediately remembered about the missing Pokemons, and proceeded to open his briefcase for the data he collecting during the short timeframe he was granted.
"According to agent reports, Team Galactic once created a weapon that could transport matter, human beings or even Pokemon to the world known as Distortion World. I am sure Platinum, Pearl and Diamond experienced the Distortion World and witnessed Platinum's original bodyguards being teleported into it. The problem is, every possible entrance to the Distortion World is closed down by Giratina after he was knocked out by you Dexholders." Professor Oak sighed as he finished his speech, and the others looked distraught.
"So that means... our Pokemon won't ever come back?" Yellow asked worriedly.
"Of course not, Yellow. But first thing's first, we need to take care of a new organization of you may say... villain team to do so."
"May I ask what do you mean by that, professor?" Platinum asked.
"The new organization I spoke about is the new organization formed from the remnants of Team Rocket, Galactic, some part of Team Plasma and some other standalone dark organizations. It is lead by our arch enemy, which is Sird." The Kanto and Jotho Dexholders' faces turned dark upon hearing the name Sird as it brings back nightmares during the petrification period. "We suspect that this organization with the codename Dire, has the equipment and technology sabotaged from Team Galactic to transport you to the Distortion World. And by chance, you find your Pokemon alive in the Distortion World, and you try to ask Giratina to open the portal once again. This is when Yellow comes in," Professor Oak looked at the straw hat girl, to which she nodded with a firm and serious expression.
"What are we going to combat them with when I don't even have my Pokemon or any ability to do so?" Green asked, with a little bit of frustration in his tone. Professor Oak signals for him to calm down, and continued to explain his plan.
"This is why I am here. Emerald, I will need your help to work on a machinery plan I planned that could possibly detect your special abilities granted after the explosion, and how to control it efficiently. I have zero guarantees it would work as told though, since it is also my first time dealing with such...blasphemies."
"Whatever, old geezer. Just make sure we don't die during the experiment." Gold said before getting hammered by Crystal's crystal hammer she formed in a split second.
"Be polite to the professor, you idiot!"
After a little bit of experiment and measurements, Professor Oak handed the Dexholders that is waiting in the living room a list of abilities he found from some of the Dexholders through the experiment.
List:
Blue – Replication
Blue could create an image of any living object (Humans or Pokemon, and control it while preserving its abilities. For example, if she created a Platinum replicate, she could use the replicate to cast Chronosphere that stops time. The problem is, if the replicate runs out of energy, Blue gets tired out too. If the replicate is damaged, Blue suffers the same amount of damage and injury on her real body. However, she could order the replicate image to dissipate anytime, even at a second before a gunshot is pierced through the replicate (that would also pierce through Blue).
"Ehehehe... now I could REALLY make fun of someone by replicating him or her, eh? Now all of you better treat me well... or suffer the consequences." Blue grinned devilishly as all the other Dexholder gupled. They knew about Blue's antics, sneakiness, and even satanic enough to use extreme measures just to get the other Dexholder's total compliance. Even the Sinnoh juniors knew about this from... let's just keep his identity a secret before Blue mentally rapes him.
Silver – Invisiblity
Silver could go invisible anytime and appear as he like, but any contact with living things will cause him to appear. In simple notes, Silver can use his invisibility ability to hide himself, but if the enemy attacks the spot he is hiding on, he will appear and apparently get injured as per normal.
"Wait, no offensive methods?" Silver apparently is not pleased with this result.
"I think I can make some for you, Silver. Just swing by my room after this gathering." Emerald smirked. Time for the tinker to start working for something new.
"For once, you're more useful compared to that retarded idiot playing with his electric fists over there."
"I heard that, Silvy!"
Platinum – Time Controlling and Supportive Spells Casting
Apart from the time controlling ability Platinum displayed during the last battle, she also has the ability to enhance and enchant the powers of her ally. She could cast spells that increase speed and power of her ally Dexholders that will be taking the frontlines in a battle. Time stopping can be casted in the form of a Chronosphere that stops everything except the things she allow to move in a sphere-shaped area at the expense of her energy drained at the speed of a Luxray running in the grasslands. Thus, she could only maintain the Chronosphere for around 10 seeconds before she tire herself out. Additionally, she could not reverse or speed up time, as she does not have the power to do so.
"That is awesome, Miss Lady!" Diamond and Pearl said in unison, with the heiress thanking them for their praises.
Yellow – Advanced Healing
Yellow's heal are now instant-cast and works on humans. And she no longer suffers sleepiness and loss of energy after casting the spell. She also has the ability to revive a dead human or Pokemon five minutes after the target's death, but this will totally drain her off her energy, rendering him asleep like when she cast heal before the explosion event. Her heal is also found to be able to damage dark and ghost type Pokemon severely.
This is the current abilities Professor Oak managed to found out after a bit of experiments and observation. The others will have to wait until their abilities finally surface or for Professor Oak to improve his technologies to find out their hidden abilities. Obviously, Green is further pissed off when he realized he still doesn't have an ability yet. Red just shrugged his shoulders.
"I don't understand why we as the Kanto seniors still doesn't have an ability yet." Green said to red in annoyance.
Red shrugged his shoulders again but Gold butted in. "Perhaps seniors doesn't have an ability to begin with?"
Green punched Gold in the stomach to get him to shut up. Gold fell on the floor immediately after withstanding the powerful punch from the Gym Leader.
"Ouch... I felt like my body has been twisted from the inside..." Gold groaned, but everyone took little notice of Gold's mindless groaning and proceeds to observe the ones that acquired their abilities just now trying out their skills and spells. Ruby asked Sapphire about this whole ordeal, but she just laughed it off.
"Do I even need an ability? I can just fight with my bare hands! Back in the days when I sparred with Toro everyday, I was a perfectly strong fighter!"
Ruby was left speechless of this wild girl infront of him.
Seeing some of her seniors depressed because they didn't have an ability, Platinum said something to cheer (at least try to cheer) her seniors up.
"Seniors, please do not feel distraught. I am sure your abilities will be found soon." Green nodded and proceeded to hug Platinum like a teddy bear.
"Wait – what are you doing, senior?"
"What the hell, Green?" Some of the Dexholders yelled at the sudden approach of Green on his junior. Wait...
Gold saw Blue laughing in a corner over the living room, and decided to try something funny. He slapped Green as hard as he could, but what he heard was the yelling of pain from... Blue.
"BLUE! YOU PLAYED WITH YOUR REPLICATE ABILITY, DIDN'T YOU?!"
"I saw that, pesky girl." Green said as he walked from the kitchen carrying a glass of milk.
"No wonder Green performed like his exact opposite. From anti social to 'overly social'." Crystal remarked such a comment that made Green silencing her with a piercing glare.
"Blue... someday, I will repay this... in double." Green gritted his teeth as everyone else laughed.
"That did not happen!" Blue 'tried' to defend herself from further repercussions or attempts of revenge.
"By the way, I have an idea. Everyone, listen to me." Blue suddenly changed the topic.
Everyone's focus turned from doing various things such as Gold trying to get Platinum's number (again) or Crystal playing around with her crystal ball like a nyan cat to listen to what Blue has to say.
"Since our enemy is named 'Dire', I guess we shall be the exact opposite of them. Let's name our group the Radiant!" Blue suggested.
"Are you even kidding, annoying pesky girl?" Green raised his hand to cover his face, to which Silver retaliated for his sister with a glare that does literally nothing to Green.
"That actually sounds like a good idea." Red agreed.
"So be it." Ruby agreed too, and everyone else gave their agreements shortly after.
