Heh, I'm back! Time for Chapter 10!

Third Person's POV

'Ugh…' someone groaned. 'Where am I?'

Courtney stood up. Her hoodie was torn, most of the left sleeve gone. One of the horns had also fallen off. She sighed in relief. Luckily, the fire horn was still on. The purplehead dusted herself lightly, taking a look around her.

What in Groudon just happened? She thought. Who cares, I'll find out soon…

-][-

Morty seemed somewhat excited.

His usually calm attitude was replaced by a sort of happiness and excitement, a glint in his eye. Jasmine, being the sharp person she was, noticed this.

'Morty?' she asked, frowning. 'What's up?'

Morty grinned, looking at her. 'Kuro promised to show me some shinies.'

'What?!'

'Yep. Wanna come?'

Jasmine stood up right away. 'Yes please!'

-][-

'If you don't mind, Kuro, I brought Jasmine with me.'

Kuro jumped in surprise, turning around. Morty was behind her, with Jasmine at her side. 'Uhh, sure.'

The steel specialist stepped forward. 'Do you actually have shinies?'

The trainer nodded. 'Yeah. I'm a shiny hunter, see.'

She brought out a pokeball, releasing the Pokémon inside it. In front of the trio, a Magnemite materialised, sparkles surrounding it.

Jasmine gasped. 'T-that's a shiny Magnemite!'

'Yup.'

'Woah!'

'Kuro,' Morty started. 'Where do you even get all these shinies from?'

Kuro pondered the question before replying, 'Erm, most are from trades, and some I find myself.'

'You make it sound so easy to get.' Jasmine protested.

'It is, kind of, I guess. I hatched two shinies just the other day.'

'Maybe things are different in the g-' Morty started, but Kuro glared at him.

Not a word, she mouthed to him.

'What?' The steel trainer asked. 'Things are different in the what?'

'Uh, I meant things are different for Kuro. Yeah, that,' Morty replied hurriedly.

'Alright!' Kuro announced, changing the subject. 'Anyone want some free shinies?'

-][-

'Hey Clair!' Morty called out to the dragon trainer. 'Look what I got!'

Clair turned around to him tossing a pokeball at her. In front of them materialised a Misdreavus. Somehow, it looked somewhat off.

'Wait,' Clair gasped, realization dawning over her. 'That's…that's a shiny!'

She backed away several steps, still in shock, and the Ghost trainer grinned at the usually arrogant woman so taken aback.

'Where did you get that?' Clair demanded immediately after calming down. 'Tell me!'

'And why should I?' Morty teased. He was enjoying this a lot. 'By the way, you should talk to Jasmine, just sayi-'

That was all he got out of his mouth before the Blackthorn leader stormed off.

Jasmine's POV

'Steel girl!'

I gulped nervously. I recognised that voice; Clair. Besides, Clair was the only person who called me "Steel girl".

I turned around, facing the blue haired gym leader. 'Yes, Clair?'

'Do you have a shiny?'

'Um, yes…?' I replied, uncertainly.

'You don't sound sure.'

'I'm sure,' I confirmed.

'Prove it.'

'Fine.' I released a Pokémon: Skarmory. Sparkles surrounded it as the Steel/Flying type materialised. Its silver amor-like body had a slight bronze tinge to it, and its usually red wings were a bright green. I noticed that Clair had gritted her teeth.

'What's wrong, Clair?'

'Argh! Why does everyone have shinies?'

'Oh, you saw Morty didn't you? That's just two people, not quite every-'

'Who cares? I want a shiny too!'

I rolled my eyes at Clair's demanding nature. Some things just never change. 'Talk to Kuro.'

Third Person's POV

'Oi!'

Kuro whipped around on instinct, her Emolga's pokeball in hand. Upon seeing it was only Clair, she sighed in relief, shoving the spherical object back into her pocket.

'What's up?'

'Give me a shiny!'

Kuro laughed. 'If you say so.'

The dragon trainer stared at her in surprise. She hadn't figured it would be that easy to convince her.

'Alright, just a second…' The black haired trainer turned to the PC, seemingly shifting through the boxes, looking for a certain Pokémon. 'Aha! Found it!'

-][-

Clair walked over to Morty. 'Oi, ghost boy! I have a shiny Dratini!'

'Cool.'

'Wanna battle?'

'No.'

'Wanna see my Dratini?'

'No.'

'What's wrong with you?'

'No.'

'What?'

'Shut up!'

'What the heck is wrong with you, Morty?'

'Nothing!' Morty snapped. 'Leave me alone.'

'Why?' Clair whined. 'I want to battle!'

'Well, I don't-'

'Guys!'

Two heads turned to the main door. There Kuro stood, completely breathless.

'What's wrong?' Morty asked, concerned.

'I-I think I opened up a portal!'

-][-

Amanda's POV

'You what? Opened a portal? To where?' Clair questioned as I led her and Morty to my backyard, where the portal was.

'I don't know,' I grumbled. 'Maybe back to your world.'

We reached, and both Clair and Morty gasped at the sight of the black hole in the middle of the battlefield.

'How…how did you make this?' Morty gaped.

I shrugged. 'I was training my Absol. I had it use Dark Pulse, then Shadow Ball and immediately Psycho Cut. Then this happened.'

Clair frowned, tilting her head. 'Why would you have Absol do the moves on each other?'

'I was practicing for contests, see.'

'Oh.'

'So,' Morty started. 'Shall we go in?'

'Hm. I don't see why not! I'll go first,' I offered.

Tentatively, I stuck my hand through, which triggered the portal, causing it to suck me in completely. I managed to see Clair and Morty hop in before everything started spinning, the world flashing white.

-][-

'Ugh.'

I looked up. The Dragon and Ghost type specialists were in front of me.

'Look over there!' I pointed. 'Those are Pidgey! We are in the Pokémon world, for sure!'

'But…' Morty frowned. 'I've been throughout the entire Johto region, but I don't recognise this place!'

'Neither.' Clair nodded.

'Weird…' I murmured, turning to my left, looking at a city about fifty meters away.

That's Rustboro City, I thought. Which means I'm in…!

'Guys!' I gasped.

Clair and Morty jerked their heads toward me.

'We're…we're in Hoenn!'

-][-

Ooh, nice ending, eh? EH? Something seems wrong. OH. It's because it's not an ending yet! Hahaha!

-][-

Third Person's POV

'We're…We're in Hoenn!'

'But how?' Clair asked.

Kuro shrugged. 'I never said the portal would lead us to Johto.'

The dragon specialist opened her mouth as if to reply, but before she could actually say anything, a yell interrupted.

'WOOHOO! RUSTBORO CITY!'

Morty flinched at the loud voice. 'Woah, person, calm down!' he shouted to him/her, though his words were probably unheard.

'Let's go,' Kuro suggested, and though the other two didn't reply, she knew the silent answer was yes.

They arrived in Rustboro shortly after, glancing around. Out of the corner of her eye, Kuro noticed a girl in a red headband, with brown hair. She seemed lost. Naturally, Kuro walked toward her.

'Hello.'

The girl looked up. 'Um…?'

'My name is Kuro. Pleasure to meet you.' Kuro stuck out a hand. 'And you are?'

The brunette smiled, eagerly taking the outstretched hand. 'Hi, Kuro! My name Is Sapphire!'

-][-

'So, Kuro, do you know where's the gym?' Sapphire asked, large brown eyes staring up at Kuro.

'Yes, I do! But…' Kuro suddenly remembered something; the gym leaders of Hoenn were in a different world! 'How about I take you to her? She isn't in her gym at the moment.'

'Sure!' Sapphire chirped happily.

Kuro led her to Morty and Clair. 'Guys, this is Sapphire. I need to go back there, for her gym challenge. Absol, let's go!'

The trainer let out her Absol, as Sapphire took out her pokedex, scanning the Pokémon before her.

"Absol, the Disaster Pokémon. When disasters are detected with its horn, Absol comes down from the mountains to warn people."

'Cool,' she breathed. 'An Absol!'

'Absol, Dark Pulse, Shadow Ball and Psycho Cut, in that sequence!' Kuro ordered.

Immediately, a blue-ish black-ish hole rippled across the air. It turned into what Kuro called a portal.

'This,' Kuro told Sapphire, pointing to the portal. 'is where your gym challenge awaits!'
