I. Am. Alive! Sorry for not updating guys, but with school, sports, and life, well, let's just say that my only rest time is to sleep. Anyways, thanks so much for the reviews; they really gave me motivation to keep writing. So here you go, my patient readers!

Chapter 3

"Are you sure he's there?" "Positive." "Yeah, but like, really really sure?" "YES! Now go bother someone else." Back in the Pokespe universe, after finally getting in contact with Pearl, the dexholders were getting ready to jump to the anime dimension. As they were preparing to jump, Red, skittish having gone so long without battling, took it on himself to annoy Green who was currently hooking up the transport device with Palkia's energy.

Finally, a swirling blue vortex appeared, similar to the one that had sucked Pearl in. Bracing themselves, they all stepped forward, ready to jump in. Only then, Gold decided that he would get the honors of being the second dexholder to go to the other dimension. So, just as the senior Kanto dexholders were about to step through, Gold rushed forward leaping through, with his only word being; "Whoohooo!"

Staring in shock at his junior/protégé, Red shouted "Wait up, Gold!" Following his lead by throwing himself through the portal. Snapping out of her shock, Crystal groaned. "Ugh. Why couldn't they just wait!? Now they'll show up in different place than us, due to the constant energy shifting causing the portal to be slightly unstable." "Well then, I guess that's our cue to follow. Let's go, Green!" Blue smirked, dragging the glowering boy into the vortex.

Shrugging at one another, the remaining dexholders proceeded to pass through the portal, just as the particles dissipated. "Hey, kids! Wait for me! I can't wait to study this other universe!" Professor Oak stumbled into his grandson's room (where the dexholders had previously been), arms loaded with research equipment. Staring blankly at the stray cards and chip bags strayed across the floor, and the recharging dimension transport machine, the professor simply sighed and turned around, muttering about 'impatient kids these days.'

Meanwhile, in the dimension with Pearl, Paul, and Ash, the latter simply stared at the first in shock. "What do you mean that people from other another dimension are coming here!?" Ash cried, in the over-dramatic way of his. "What I don't understand is how your dad exists here and in your dimension." Paul questioned. "Well, I don't exactly get that either, but I'm pretty sure that it's some sort of alternate dimension thing. Kinda like how May looks like Senior Sapphire, Dawn looks like Platinum, and Master didn't recognize me when I battled him," Pearl said, muttering the last part. Having heard the last part anyways, Ash's eyes widened and he blurted out before he could stop himself, "So there 2 Mays and 2 Dawns?!" Cringing at having been heard, Pearl could only nod blankly.

Suddenly, in the distance a swirling blue vortex appeared in the sky, depositing 2 screaming figures from it. "What is that?" Paul asked, eyes narrowing. "That's the portal I came in. So that means . . . MY SENIORS AND DIA AND MISSY ARE HERE!" Pearl shouted, racing off towards the portal. "Or Team Galactic." Paul frowned, following in pursuit. "Hey, don't leave me here! Wait up, Paul, Bar- Pearl!" Ash shouted racing after them.

At that particular moment however, Team Rocket decided to show up. The trio had been enjoying their nap in the sun, until a shadow had appeared over their heads. Jessie, her temper flaring, had shot up, ready to shout at the offender who had blocked her light. Though her tantrum had been cut short as 2 young boys had fallen onto her, James, and Meowth. "Owwww. Hey, Red?" The first boy who was maybe around 13, asked the second boy who seemed to be 15. "What is it?" 'Red' groaned. "Nothing. Just checking to see if you were still alive," the second boy grinned, leaping up and stretching his arms as though he just woken up, instead of having fallen 12 feet through the air.

"It's great that you're alright, but would you guys mind GETTING OFF OF US!" Meowth demanded, nearly screaming the last part. As the Kanto and Johto pokedexholders were composing themselves, a third figure joined their party. "Senior Red! Senior Gold! You guys made it! But, I thought that Senior Crystal said that everyone would be coming here?" Pearl asked. "Yeah, about that . . ." Gold trailed off, grinning sheepishly. "Hey, what about us?" Jessie demanded, angry at being ignored. " Yeah, and how does the fining twerp know these other twerp?" "Fining twerp?" Red raised an eyebrow. "Eh. It's apparently something that my this dimension self does a lot. So if I was gonna pass for him, then I had to pick up on his style too. Though he is like me in some ways." Pearl dismissed. "Hey! How dare you twerps ignore us again!" Jessie shrieked. "We're high-ranking, important members of Team Rocket. And no one ignores Team Rocket!" Meowth added in.

"Wait a second." Red said, his namesake eyes narrowing. "You guys are part of Team Rocket?" Not recognizing the danger, the three nodded their heads. Turning back to his juniors, the Kanto league champion whipped out his pokeball, his fellow dexholders following in suit.

"Wait up Paul! Gosh, I didn't think that you would be faster than me." Ash panted. Rolling his eyes, Paul began to slow seeing some figures in the clearing ahead. Finally catching up to Paul, the two proceeded to approach the figures. Stopping in realization, Paul lunged into a bush, pulling Ash down with him. Confused, Ash didn't struggle, as he soon saw who the figures were in the clearing. It was Team Rocket, Pearl, and 2 boys that he didn't recognize.

The oldest had spiky black hair, not too different from Ash's, but the similarities stopped there. He was tall, with jeans, a red/white vest, and a matching hat. His bright red eyes were narrowed, and before him stood a powerful looking Venusaur, obviously well trained. The younger boy was decked in yellow/black shorts, a red/white sweater, and a backwards yellow/black hat with goggles resting over them. The black hair peaking out the front of his cap had an exploding affect, and his eyes, a warm shade of gold, sparkled with mischief. Before him was a proud Typhlosion, it's carefree stance mimicking its trainer's.

The three fully evolved Pokemon suddenly began to form large swirling balls of energy. The oldest boy suddenly stepped forward, winking at the terrified Team Rocket members who had called their own Pokemon. And with that, the three attacks were launched, spiraling together to form a single, powerful ray. As the attack the target, the trio were shot away, too shocked by the raw power to even put in their regular 'we're blasting off again' speech.

Rushing out of the bushes, Ash proceeded to stare at the three dexholders with starry eyes. "Oh my gosh, that was so awesome! You've gotta show me how to do those moves." Paul however simply glared at Pearl. "If you had that power this whole time, then why didn't you use it at the league? Why didn't you use that move in our battle; you would've wiped me out for sure."

Now, his seniors and Ash were staring at Pearl for answers. "Well, ya see . . . I didn't really want to draw too much attention to myself because as I've come to discover, everyone in this world has pokedexes. So ya see, in our world only certain people have pokedexes; the dexholders. And only have them because only they have special abilities that can make them dexholders. Because our power is different from other trainers, and my dimension self here doesn't have that power, I guess that I just didn't want to make people suspect." Pearl explained.

Accepting his answer, Paul ceased his glaring. "Wait, what do you mean that everyone has a pokedex?" Red asked. Then not even a second after he had voiced his question, did the swirling vortex reappear over the Sinnoh Battle Frontier. Wasting no time, the pokedexholders raced towards the vortex, Paul hot on their heels. Only Ash stayed in place, sharing a miserable look with Pikachu. "We've got the worst of luck, don't we?" He asked before scooping up his companion and taking after the other trainers.

Elsewhere, Arceus having seen the whole thing, simply gave itself a chuckle.
