A/N:
Hello Again! This is the longest chapter I have made sofar. Sorry for being 2 weeks late I have been planning the next ten chapters, and my lazyness added to it too. I wanted to get as much done as possible in these few days since I was in the mood. This chapter is much better than the first 3, well, it is more interesting and typed better (In my opinion). Anyways the disclamer!
[P.S.) I need three special OC's, one to join Jarod and Alex (Still thinking of being temporary, not sure), one to be met in a pokemart (Important for later on), and an OC with an OP physic pokemon NO LEGENDARYS! Each OC has to have atleast 1 pokemon that is their special friend or one that you can see the pokemon-trainer resemblence with their actions/appearanes. It cann't be like a trainer that has all 6 pokemon the same or is one that treats pokemon like animals/pets. The OC is not allowed to have one of the same pokemon as any one main characters: Alex, Jarod, or Examples:
Ash - Pikachu,
Iris - Axew,
Cameren - Riolu/Lucario
Alex - Kirlia/Gardevoir,
Jarod - (Cann't say, It would spoil the encounter for Chapter 8!)
Unknown OC - ?
etc.]
Disclamer: See Chapter 2 and follow that disclamer's instrustions
"Hello! I come in peace!" - Human Speech, Machine recordings, etc.
'I am invincible! Not invisable!' - Thoughts/Telepathy
"Voir, de voir garde. GAR VOIR GARDE!" - Nontranslated/translated Pokespeech
(Alex's P.O.V.)
"Sure!" replied Ruby
"You ready Bidoof?" I asked
"Yup! Remember no hard feelings!" Bidoof replied happily.
"Uhh... Ok? Ruby use... Ummm..." I paused, "What are your moves? I need my pokedex to check them and I don't have one right now."
"I think I can use Confusion... Double team... Hmmm... Teleport... I think that's all... Wait! I know Lucky Chant too!"
"Thank you, now use Confusion!"
"Ok!" said Ruby. Ruby raised one of her arms at Bidoof and a faint blue outline appeared around both pokemon. Bidoof floated up and slammed down three times when a small dust cloud appeared hiding Bidoof.
"Can you see him?" I asked Ruby. Just as I said that, Bidoof flew out of the cloud directed to Ruby with a glowing body. "Rubyteleporttododgeit!" I spoke as quickly as I could.
"What did- OOF!" said Ruby, but was interupted my being hit by Bidoof's Take Down right on the crystal, hurting both pokemon more than it should of.
"OW!" Both pokemon said in unison and both landed a foot away from each other.
'How did a wild Bidoof learn Take Down?' I thought and asked, "Ruby are you okay?" Ruby nodded, stood, turned to me, and rubbed a little below her collarbone where the crystal left an imprint on her milk white skin. "Try saying that a bit more clearly next time..." Ruby stated. "Why am I still wearing this anyway?" The Kirlia questioned.
"I don't know." I answered, even though I knew she was talking to herself. I then screamed "Ahh! Ruby! Double Team!" Ruby then split into three Kirlias with a second to spare. The one in the middle faded when the beaver-like pokemon rolled through the illusion where Kirlia was once standing.
"Confusion!" I almost yelled as Bidoof got out of a ball and turned to the Kirlia with a its head tilted down and ran fairly quickly to Ruby.
Ruby and the wild pokemon glowed the familiar outline and Bidoof slammed into the ground 2 times but stoped when Ruby lost her physic hold on Bidoof when something unexpected happened.
I held my hand up to shield my eyes from the blinding light but it ended as quickly as it started and Bidoof was no longer standing there but a tall Bibarel staring at us.
"Thank you thank you! I don't want to fight anymore! I've got what I wanted!" Bibarel exclaimed, "I can finally help master get her second badge and I owe it all to you guys! Thank you!"
"Ok? Your welcome?" I replied in a confused tone, but Ruby didn't waste any time walking back and tugging on my pants to get my attention.
I lifted Ruby up and placed her on my left shoulder and looked back up to Bibarel to ask, " Hey who is this mas-" I paused and looked around, "-ter..." I sighed and spoke, "I wonder where that pokemon ran off to." I turned to Ruby and rambled, "That was a very rare case of a wild pokemon evolving while in battle... Wait no it was an owned pokemon, but was it abandoned, or? I don't know, should we go?"
"Sure, but you are forgeting someone!" Ruby exclaimed then giggled.
"Uhhhh..." 'Who am I forgettttttttiiiiiinnnnngggggg... AHHHHH!' "Star! Where are you?!" I called and quickly turned my head right to look for Star, nothing. I was about to turn to the left but stoped with Ruby continuing to giggle uncontrollably and started losing balance and falling in the opposite direction from my head.
She caught herself before she fell and leaned on my head to stay balanced while still giggling. "What's so fun-" I was interupted by Star landing on my head; dropping an oran berry in front of me, bouncing off my nose, making me flinch backward and catching Ruby before she even fell past my necklace with Star using his wings to hover in front of us. It happened within the span of 4 seconds.
"What was that about, and where did you get this oran berry Star?" I asked, still partly recovering from stoping Ruby's close call.
Star answered, "I was just-" "It was a habbit that he picked up when he was caring for me." Ruby interrupted.
"Ok then, I guess... We better hurry though I don't think Jarod can wait any longer." I picked up the blue berry, "See if you can find more of these berrys, we need them as snacks and for your energy. By the way, I am not mad, I am just surprised." I told Star and Ruby as I started walking to Rowan's lab.
(Ruby's P.O.V.)
(Time: Few Seconds Later)
'Wow that was an unexpected battle,' I thought as I kept rubbing the mark, hopeing that it goes away faster. The attempt slowly working, 'Ow this hurts though, when did I get this?' I questioned myself mentally while holding the crystal. It felt so weird! It was like my ability to find emotions was amplified because I can sense many of the surrounding wild pokemons' emotions stronger than I usually would, mainly anticipation, anger, fear, and curiosity but alas, it didn't last long as I felt like my soul was being pulled out of my body and being put into a new place, from the spirit's point of view.
(Setting Change: Unknown area)
*In Ruby's vision*
I was now in a very spacious but dark place with a silver double-door with two human shaped silloettes standing about a yard away and speaking to each other, one being about a foot taller and the other hunched over a little. Another silloette entered and looked like it was talking to the other two about something. There were three large glass-like cases that I never really noticed untill now but I couldn't see what was inside of the containers untill the slouching silloette walked to a wall of lights to push a button.
The three containers then revealed me what was inside, it didn't light up, but was able to see slightly better, like a layer of glass was removed. Inside, I saw a shadow with barely visable amount color of three pokemon, one in each container. The one farthest from me in a corner had a look of deep thought, probabily a way to escape, had a yellow head. Another pokemon that had a blue head had a look of determination in its eyes. The last one, causing a de ja vu feeling in me surprised me, had a pink head and looked extremely sad, but was looking in my direction.
Being a vision I was confused why it was looking at me I knew I wasn't real here but looked around to try and find what it was looking at in this direction and realized, 'Wait, THE NECKLACES!' I looked down at the crystal, it was glowing faintly, 'The colors...' I looked up, 'Those things have the same colors as ours... Why do you look so familiar?' Is this the future? No it is probabily the past, this seems familiar...
I went to see the humans as they worked and noticed that the one human who entered had dissapeared but two others came in, along with a lot of light through the open door, so I could see the two who came in, a Gardevoir and an all-to-familiar human. The human was wearing gray jeans, a green T-shirt, a necklace with a revive shaped, transparent blue crystal, dark blue sneakers with white laces, messy brown hair, light colored skin, and green eyes. The Gardevoir looked exactly like an ordinary, not shiny pokemon, but had a necklace with a pink transparent, revive shaped, crystal in the middle.
I looked down at my own necklace and saw a mirroring resemblence, well, with the exeption of mine glowing. Then it hit me, this was a vision of the FUTURE, not the past! That was me as a Gardevoir and Alex; but how far into the future? Maybe it is a near future?
"Rrrr...bbb...eeeee...hhhh...ooooo" I heard, the voice sounding familiar, when I saw me and Alex walk to the other humans they started speaking to each other.
"Rrrrruuuuu...eeee...hhhh...llllllloooooo" The voice sounded clearer than the last. The future me and Alex went to the machine and pressed a few buttons and it removed the three container covers. The three pokemon inside looked relieived but still a bit worried, then faded away out of sight.
"Ruuuuubyyyyy...eeellllloooo" The voice echoed again in my head. The Future me looked around and stoped her gaze in the corner of which I am standing in and walked to me, and spoke telepathicly to me, 'Hello past me, I came to say, enjoy what you have now... Things may get a bit aqward with you and Alex he is now. And don't make the same mistake I made when-'
The voice interrupted the advice, "Hhhhheeeyyy...Ruubby...Heelloo..Ruby! Hello? Are you there? Hi? Ruby? Are you okay?" And after that I was pulled from the vision.
(Setting Change: Rowan's Lab)
*Ruby's P.O.V. Back in reality*
"Huh?! What!? Where am I?" I spoke out of surprise, let go of the crystal and placed my hands to my sides, resting on the seat. I looked up and saw an orange roof, I turned to the left at a window and noticed that the day had gone by and was almost sunset. I was no longer sitting on Alex's shoulder, but in a red, very soft couch in a small but cozy, happy feeling room.
"Hi Ruby! You looked like you were in a really long daydream, I am not sure if you were okay. To fill in on what you might of missed, we met with Professor Rowan and Dawn with the appearance of Jarod, we almost missed him since he was about to leave, have a new pokedex, got my trainer's license," Alex dug through his pocket and pulled out a plastic rectangle with a picture and words I cann't read. "I have 4 more pokeballs," Alex placed the 'license' back, "and tried to take you in this pokecenter to 'wake' you, but Nurse Joy said to just wait it out, you were either less likely, sleeping with eyes open or more likely were in a vision. Did you have a vision? If so... What happened?"
"I Uhhh... Am not sure acually, I was just rubbing this mark," I pointed to the imprint from earlier, it is now almost completely faded, "and wondered where I got this, then I held it and had a vision." I said as I gestured to the necklace.
"What did you see? Who was there? When is it? Where did it take place? Was I there?" Alex questioned rather quickly.
I stared at the new exited expression written upon the human a few inches in front of me. He started blushing a light shade when he realised what he did; he moved away, slid his backpack off, and sat next to me, our arms almost touching I felt my cheeks get slightly cooler, not noticing my face had also followed the change to pink.
(Author's Side note: Huh, wow... A bit too much blushing there... I had to admit)
"Sorry for getting carried away there... I also rented us a room at this pokecenter." 'A pokecenter? Is that what this place is called?' I thought while staring at Alex while he continued, "While you were in a trance, and Star in his pokeball, I got you guys food." Alex pulled a white box from his backpack with a smiley face drawing on top with words, again that I couldn't read. 'Wait, what does 'rent a room' mean?' I remembered and asked Alex, "What does 'rent a room' mean?"
"It is where we can stay in a room of this building for a short time, mainly to get sleep." I looked down to let the information soak for a moment; I looked back at Alex with my mouth open but didn't say anything as he answered my unasked question.
"A room is a boxed in area connected to the building, it usually looks different from the other rooms, but here they are nearly the same." Alex explained then placed the box back into his backpack. "And a building is this place here, just not with the same design."
'I already know what a building is...' I thought to myself as Alex looked up away from me.
(Alex's P.O.V.)
"I am starting to feel like Jarod, asking and talking too much while answering many questions..." I looked to Ruby and saw her attention was moved elsewhere. "Hey umm..." I decided to not bother and looked at what caught, not just her attention, but everyone else in the room except for a kid trying to stuff a sparkling blue stone into his already-full backpack.
A strange person who looked more like a guy, had blue combed hair, wore a sparkling dark-blue jumpsuit with inch-wide white circles around the shoulders and a decorated 'G' on its chest like a logo. It matched together sort of like an old-school alien movie costusume. That strangely dressed person looked at the troubled kid, but it wasn't completely the kid that its attention was on. Beside the kid was a cute little riolu who was fast asleep snoring lightly.
As the strange person looked away, he or she looked at us but instead of the curious, interested, or possibly happy facial expression, we saw one of great anger with relief, an odd but common combination to see. He or she looked ahead after a breif 5 seconds and walked to a hallway where all the rooms are and entered a room.
"Well that was, uhh... fairly akward." I admitted a little too loud, and a few others around the room nodded in response. I turned to Ruby who was waiting with an, 'I don't know what to do right now.' look on her face. I picked her up under her armpits and placed her on my left shoulder and walked to our rented room.
"Hey Ruby, want to eat when we get the room? You haven't had anything since we met that bidoof, you must be hungry." I brought up, knowing that Ruby will say yes. The said Kirlia nodded shortly after. I approached the room and saw that riolu from earlier run under my legs, catching me off guard and stumble to the wall on our right, hitting a door. That riolu giggled a little and ran holding something shiny.
The kid from earlier who was stuffing his backpack was running after the riolu shouting, "Sorry for that! Riolu, give that stone back! That is for Kirlia!" After that he ran off out of sight, but you can still hear him yell out from time to time.
"Kirlia hmm. So he has one of your kind also? Huh, Ruby?" I spoke to Ruby as we entered the door we had hit, ironicly being the room we rented. "Yeah I want to meet him or her when I get the chance." She replied of interest that there was another around.
Once in the room, I slid my backpack off and pulled out my pajamas and the box of food from before and set it neatly near Ruby on the bed saying, "Don't make too big of a mess on the bed; I will be in the bathroom showering if you need me." "Ok?" Ruby replied in a confused tone and stared at the box and opened it with physic energy. Ruby was looking at the steaming spaghetti with bits of pokemon food mixed in and left over poffin crumbs Star has choosen and eaten on the side. The hungry kirlia stared almost drooling at the smell of the new 'human' food that probabily hasn't been tried yet.
"I asked the waiter what you were able to eat and got you this since your stomach can handle our kinds of food. Unlike Star... Oh I forgot!" I added as I facepalmed and moved my other hand to my belt, grabbing Star's pokeball, enlarging and taping the activate button and releasing Star on the bed, looking tired and full. "Go help yourself to the food Ruby, as for you Star, I will be in the bathroom if you need me so you can sleep if you want... Bye!" I reminded and walked to the bathroom to the left. The room had just a full sized bed (A/N: A full sized bed is just the same length as a twin sized bed but a bit wider than usual, and twin size is used in bunk beds in case you didn't know :P) in the farthest right corner placed horizontally from the door with a little table on its left. On the same wall, there was a couch and a t.v. placed respectivly away from each other Over the bed is a window which has the same length as the bed itself. From the foot of the bed there is a door that leads into the bathroom. To the left of the door there is a medium-large fish tank, decorated and very clean.
I walked into the bathroom, undressed, took off the translator, steped into the shower, turned on the water with my arm in the stream waiting for the right temperature, and started washing myself.
(Ruby's P.O.V.)
I heard the sound of rain in the room Alex entered and looked back at the delicious smelling food in front of me.
"Go on and try it! Humans make great tasting food, believe me. I've had my share already." Star sugested to me. I nodded and stared, "How do I eat this?" I asked Star, and he replied, "Just use that thing to pick it up. I saw Alex use it, he calls it a 'fork'." He used his wing to point at a metal stick that widens at the end with four smaller points extending off of it in the same direction. I picked it up with my two fingers like humans when they hold a tooth brush backwards and stabed the noodles in front of me with that utensil. I lifted the pasta to my mouth and bit down, then I slid the fork out, but I was not registering anything else at that moment, for the food was fantastic like nothing I have tried before.
"Hmmm..." I moaned, "So delicious..." I was stuck in pleasure and never noticed the wave of physic energy I released. The spaghetti was now in danger as I kept on eating bite after bite a bit too fast. "Slow down there, I know it is great but don't eat so fast or you'll choke!" Star warned. "Buph ifths sooo gooph" I wined with my mouth full; no food being spat whatsoever.
Star sighed and said, "Well I'm going to sleep. Good night." with that, he flew to the night stand and got comfy. I turned my attention to the food and continued eating, but following Star's advice and eating slower. I savored each bite as I faught the urge of chowing down as if I were in a contest.
In what felt like 15 seconds, I had finished, and at the same time I saw Alex walk out of the bathroom. "I have never enjoyed food that great before! Thank you!" I thanked a little too loud. "Huh? I am sorry Ruby, I cann't understand, I don't have my translator on right now but based on your expression, I would say that you enjoyed it, also I heard you inside my head saying, "So delicious..." What was that?" 'Wow... I must of sent a telepathic wave when I was eating... I need to practice.' I nodded and about to speak when I just remembered that Alex couldn't understand me; I just closed my mouth and laid down closing my eyes, relaxing on the bed, now noticing comfortable it was.
I opened my eyes to see Alex had moved next to me, trying to get in bed I just realized what was happening, 'I am sleeping with Alex!' I dark shade of red appeared on my face at the strange thought that found its way to my head. I jumped off the bed and walked a little bit away trying to hide my blush. Alex immediatly noticed and said, "What's going on? Why are you-" He stopped abruptly realizing what I had thought and turned to the same color as me, waiting for what seemed like forever and asked me, "Oh, Uhhh... Do you want me to sleep on the couch and you take the bed?" "I-It's O-o-ok... I'll j-just s-sleep t-there." I spoke in my native language hopeing that Alex understood.
I was right for Alex understood and moved to the farthest side of the bed, closest to the window and I moved slowly; crawled into the same bed but on the opposite side, still keeping a light shade of pink visable on me. I had slid into the blanket and sighed from the great warm, soft sheet of cloth that covers my whole body but my head. I slowly closed my eyes and before I drifted to another world, opened my eyes again when I heard, "Good night." with that, my vison faded.
