"Hello there people, Yimo here. So this chapter we will check up on Jeod to see how he's doing. Also a little explanation on Takeo's OPness. Thanks to the portal accident he turned into a Pokémon, giving him a massive boost in power. I you'd like I could write his stats down in the next chapter. That reminds me, still no reviews. Come on people! It doesn't have to be positive. ;) But I (kinda) digress. Let's get this show on the road. If you can call a fanfic a show that is." "Damn it man! Get writing already!" "Sheez, calm down. I'll start. You really need to control your temper you know. I know this one guy who could really…" "GO! GO! GO! GO! GO!" "I get it, I get it. You can stop now. Fiction is being written."

Jeod woke up face down in the snow and with a massive headache. "Ugh, haven't had such a hangover since that one brewfest. Wait a minute, this isn't a hangover! I didn't drink anything! Well… not more than usual. What happened yesterday? Oh yeah, the portal happened. Well at least we have all our limbs, don't we guys? Guys? "

Jeod looked around and saw no sign of his companions. "Guys? Where are ya? Well apparently I'm all alone. I was wondering why nobody had told me to shut up yet. What do I do now? Probably should hike this mountain to get a good view of the area. Actually, ya know what I should do! I should build a Dwarven hold on this mountain! Help me race out a bit. Spread the culture!

Jeod then realized he was ranting and there was no one that could hear him. He facepalmed, grumbled something about arcane bs and started hiking. This would have been hard task, but Jeod was both a Dwarf and mage. If encountered a cliff he'd simply blink over it. If he met a steep slope he would use his staff as a pickaxe and work his way up. Snowstorms weren't really a problem either since he was a Dwarf. Dwarfs aren't known for giving a damn about the cold.
The real problem was the local wildlife. When he was sleeping something had stolen all his food. Even his beer-basted boar ribs! So now he had to rely on mana cakes and conjured water to keep him going. And that stuff isn't as tasty as you would think. Also he felt as if he was being watched by things in the tall grass that covered the mountainside.
On the third day Jeod had set up camp for the night on a ledge overlooking the land. He was about to eat a mana cake when suddenly he saw a bright light far off in the distance. He could feel the power resonate through the fabric of reality.

"So much power… I haven't felt that much energy since we went to The Sunwell. Whatever is happening over there, it can't be good. I need to get a move on. If the creatures of this place have only half the power of the one who caused that I'll be in big trouble."

As Jeod was turning around to continue his journey to the peak (Which was about half a days travel away.) he was smacked in the face by a paw and nearly got knocked off the mountain.

"Ahhh! What the nether! Who did that!" Jeod blinked back onto the ledge and saw a big brown bear. It wasn't a normal bear. It looked like it had shoulder pads and it had a bond circle of fur on its belly.

"AHA! So yer one a those buggers who keeps stalking me. Well then, allow me to set an example.

Jeod snatched his staff and made the 'come at me' sign. The bear roared, made a very intimidating face and charged at the mage. In return Jeod triplicated himself and sent a volley of ice balls and arcane missiles at the bear. The bear didn't see that coming at all. His mind couldn't figure out which Dwarf was the real and it wasn't really helping that he was being buffeted by about 24 projectiles. So he decided to take the sloppy approach. It opened its mouth and an orange ball of energy appeared.

"Ursaaaa RIIIIING!" The bear shouted and shot a gigantic laser of doom from its mouth. Jeod and his reflections were hit and sent flying off the mountain. The bear smirked and proceeded to loot Jeod's bags. Then there was a noise of some sort followed by a triumphant shout.

"BOOM, I'M BACK DUMMY!" The bear looked up and to his great surprise, Jeod and his reflections were back and already casting.

"How about you go meet the same ground you tried to send me to?" Jeod began chaining arcane blasts in order to build up power. The bear couldn't even get to his opponent because he was being shoved back by the blasts. When the bear was close to the edge of the ledge Jeod shot one last spell at him. The four barrages sent the bear flying off to the horizon where for some indiscriminant reason a star flashed as soon as he passed it.

"Ooh man. That was scary. I nearly died there! Good thing I can turn back time. Wait, where has the third dimension gone? And why is my vision going red?" The dwarf wiped his forehead and his hands turned red. He quickly inspected his face and discovered a long cut on his forehead. That, and he was missing an eyeball.

"What in the name o the light caused that? Oh yeah. The paw to the face. Forgot about that… Should probably bandage that before it inflames." Jeod rummaged through his bags, pulled out a roll of heavy windwool bandage and wound it around his head. He put his eyeball in a little satchel. Maybe a priest could still mend it.

"I really need to double time it now. Me blood will attract other predators and I don't have the mana ta fight them." Jeod hastily broke his camp up and hurried up the mountain. He could already hear something howling in the distance.

After running and blinking for about two hours Jeod encountered another surprise. There were stairs in the mountain! Maybe there already was a Dwarven hold on this mountain! Jeod sprinted up the stairs and in no time he was at the peak. The peak was completely desolate. Jeod relaxed a bit and started unpacking again.
Just when he had put up his tent saw something from the corner of his eye. It looked like a red dragon, but it looked like mix between a whelp and wyrm. The dragon landed on the other side of the peak. Jeod now saw another camp there. It was camouflaged with snow and rocks.

"Whoever build that knew what he was doing… Is that a human teenager and an overgrown yellow mouse riding a dragon? That's a first."

The teen dismounted and pulled out four red and white balls. He as he threw them into the air they opened and a white light shot down at the ground and started materializing into large forms. One was a big blue turtle with cannons sticking out of its shell. Then there was a gargantuan lizard with a flower growing on its back. The third to fully materialize looked like Jeod's mother in law. It looked a bit like a big blue-beige teddy bear. The thing must weigh tons. The last thing Jeod could only describe as a mix between a fish, a turtle, a giraffe and some sort of dinosaur.
While Jeod took his time to look at the creatures he didn't notice that they were looking at him too. Luckily for him he did see the yellow mouse charging at him while it was engulfed in electricity. Just as the tackle was about to connect Jeod blinked behind him and shot an arcane barrage at the mouse. But the thing did a backward corkscrew, dodged it and hit Jeod right in the stomach.

"Urgh… Why did ya have ta…" Jeod managed to stammer before he fell to the ground. He was still conscious, tough not by much. He saw the teen walking up to him. The teen kneeled and looked Jeod in the eye.

"You all right?" He asked in a nigh emotionless manner. Jeod tried to answer with an angry rant about controlling your pets and respecting your elders, but he couldn't move. "That rant will just have to wait."

"Hmm, you're paralyzed. Here." He took a green canister from his backpack and sprayed its contents on Jeod. Jeod could feel his power returning to his body. He got up and flexed his muscles.

"Sorry. Pikachu attacks everyone he doesn't know."

"It's fine kiddo, don't worry about it. I've had rougher treatments. Heck, I've come back from the dead! But you have got some explaining ta do. Who are you anyway? And why do these animals listen to ya? And how ya store them in those balls? And why do ya live on a mountain? I mean, I was planning to live here myself, but I'm a dwarf. That We were made ta live in the mountains ya know. But humans most certainly weren't. Which mountain range is this anyway? Must either be Storm Peaks or Kun Lai. If it were Dun Morogh I'd have known. And any other mountain range isn't this snowy or high. What did ya say was yer name again? You got some food around here? I could use some real food. See, I've been living off mana cakes and conjured water for days. And ya know how tasty those things are. Ah, what does it matter. The point is that yer stuck with me know. At least till I find me friends again.

And then Jeod walked over to Red's camp, made a campfire and sat down. Red and his team just stood there, completely dumbfounded by the sudden rant.

"Hey, are ya gonna join me and explain things or are ya just gonna stand there catching flys?"

"This is going to be a long night." Red thought, already regretting using his last full restore.
"Why on earth did have to meet the chattiest guy on planet. He's even worse than Barry. I need to get away from him. It's late. We'll talk tomorrow.

And on that note Red walked to his tent and went to bed, praying to Arceus that we would wake up earlier than the stranger so he could flee.
He didn't.

Next chapter: Red meets Jeod. They talk. Well, Jeod talks and Red tries not to. Maybe one of the Azerothians will have clue as to what is going on. We'll see next time.
