Aichi's spirit stood on the surface of the Planet Cray, he was inside the Royal Paladin castle looking out from the window in a throne room. Blaster Blade walked in and bowed.
"My Vanguard, I heard you came for a visit. I came here as quickly as I could." Blaster Blade said.
Aichi turned and walked to Blaster Blade. He stood in front of him and smiled before extending his hands for Blaster Blade. "Thank you for coming, Blaster Blade." He responded happily.
Blaster Blade kept his head down. "What brings you here, My Vanguard?" He asked. Aichi knelt down to Blaster Blade's level and held onto his shoulders.
"I was called by Harmonics Messiah. I came here as soon as I was called, I thought that maybe something happened here… Maybe Void managed to escape." Aichi explained. Blaster Blade looked up and saw Aichi with a warm smile. "I'm happy that everything is alright."
Blaster Blade stood up, Aichi followed. "I will take you to the temple that Harmonics Messiah resides." He said. Aichi nodded and followed Blaster Blade to the temple.
"Blaster Blade? How is Void?" Aichi asked.
"The seal is keeping Void from wreaking havoc." Blaster Blade answered.
"That's good I guess," Aichi responded, he sounded disappointed in himself. "I really wished that Void could've understood us and become an ally of Cray. I wouldn't have had to seal Void away." He continued.
"There is no use negotiating with Void with these matters, My Vanguard. If you hadn't sealed Void away, Cray would've been in danger." Blaster Blade responded.
"I guess, but I'm not sure," Aichi said.
They soon reached the temple. Harmonics Messiah appeared once they stepped foot onto the temple. "Hello, Harmonics Messiah. I heard your call." Aichi said.
"Aichi Sendou, it has been a while. My goodness, I forgot. You have received a special title, haven't you?" Harmonics Messiah greeted.
"Calling me by that isn't necessary. Just Aichi is fine." Aichi responded. "Anyways, why did you call me here?" He asked.
"I sensed the seal beginning to weaken." Harmonics Messiah informed.
Aichi and Blaster Blade were both shocked. "Huh?! It's weakening?!" He exclaimed.
"That's impossible. My Vanguard had made seals once before and it couldn't be broken." Blaster Blade began saying before he noticed something. Aichi was also thinking the same thing.
"When I sealed myself, I had the Quatre Knights guarding the seals and I think that also powered them," Aichi said.
"Yes and no. The seal is standing on its own, there are no conditions that keep it standing, nor is there power being constantly being inputted into the seal." Harmonics Messiah corrected.
"So I need to find something to power it…?" Aichi thought. Then he thought of something. "How about that pendant?" He asked.
"That is impossible, I locked that inside of you." Blaster Blade answered.
"Oh," Aichi responded sadly.
"There was a myth long ago regarding a powerful relic that was lost for thousands of years. It is possible that it fell into a different world." Harmonics Messiah told.
"A powerful relic? Do you know which world it fell into?" Aichi asked.
"I think this world is familiar to you, you've been there once before." Harmonics Messiah answered,
"The Pokemon world?" Aichi responded.
"Yes, there is no mistake." Harmonics Messiah confirmed. "The exact location, I cannot confirm. But I feel the power energy from that relic radiating from inside."
"I'll find it and bring it back." Aichi declared. "I don't want Void to terrorize this world anymore." He added.
"Is there anyone that can assist my Vanguard on his mission?" Blaster Blade asked.
"The ones that control space and time may have a clue to where the relic resides." Harmonics Messiah suggested.
"Dialga and Palkia?" Aichi asked. Harmonics Messiah nodded. Aichi smiled after thinking about his promise to Ash. "I'll get going as soon I tell the others." He informed cheerfully. He waved and his spirit disappeared, it was so quick that it left Harmonics Messiah surprised.
"Is someone awaiting him on the other side?" Harmonics Messiah asked.
"There is one boy that he became good friends with. Although their memories faded, My Vanguard made a promise that they'll meet again." Blaster Blade explained.
Meanwhile, Aichi was back on Earth. He hurried to Card Capital. He looked through the window and saw Kai sitting at the table closest to the window taking a nap. "Kai…?" He muttered before hurrying inside.
"Kai! You're back?!" Aichi exclaimed.
Kai woke up from his nap and looked up to see Aichi. "I'm back. It was waiting for you to come over here, everyone said they were busy and you didn't answer my calls." Kai explained. Aichi jumped and pulled out his phone. He saw that Kai called him 3 times.
"Sorry, Kai. I was in Cray." Aichi apologized.
"Cray? Why were you there? Did something happen?" Kai asked.
"Well… There is a small problem that involves the seal." Aichi said. Kai waited for the explanation. "Harmonics Messiah noticed the seal weakening and asked me to find a relic that powers it. The problem is, it's in the Pokemon world." He explained.
"So you're saying that you're going back there?" Kai responded.
Aichi nodded. "It shouldn't take too long, I'll probably be back before the weekend ends here." He assured.
"That doesn't matter, you just need to get back here safely alright? I'll be going back to Europe Sunday evening, I'll tell everyone that you went back today. You just go." Kai suggested.
Aichi smiled. "Thank you, Kai. I'll be careful I promise." He thanked. "A month has passed here, that means a lot of time has passed in the Pokemon world." He thought.
He summoned the portal. "I'll be going then, bye Kai." He waved before entering. He was inside a vortex, he activated his Psyqualia. "Dialga! Palkia!" He called.
The spirits of Dialga and Palkia appeared in front of him. "I am here to look for a powerful relic to keep my world safe. Do you know any possible places it would be in?" He asked.
"Dialga~!"
"Palkia~!"
Aichi smiled. "I see! Thank you! Please guide me there." He responded. The portal created an exit and he found himself in a seaside cave. "This place… A cave?" He thought. His voice echoed throughout the cave. He looked down and saw his bag on the ground. He picked it up and began walking.
He walked through it cautiously. "It's somewhere here. Dialga and Palkia said it was here, even I can feel it's close by." He said to himself. He reached the end of the cave, it was dark.
"I can't see anything. But I can feel a strong energy here." Aichi thought. He reached into his bag and found his flashlight. He flashed the light forward and saw a jewel in front of him. He reached out to the jewel. "That's it!" The jewel glew, it blinded Aichi's eyes. Aichi picked up the relic. The glow died down and the small jewels around the cave illuminated the cave.
"It reacted to me," Aichi said to himself. The pendant that Blaster Blade sealed inside him glew and appeared in front of him. "Could it be that it reacted to me because I am connected to Cray?" He asked himself.
Suddenly, he heard footsteps behind him and a lot. He turned to see a group of people wearing skull bandanas. "Hello, um… Is there something you need?" Aichi asked nervously. His pendant returned back inside him.
"I am Plumeria-Team Skull's admin. I suggest your step away from that jewel and let us have it If you don't hand it over, we will have to use force." Plumeria demanded.
Aichi looked at the relic, then turned to them with alert eyes. "I'm not handing this over to you, this relic is important to me." He responded.
"Then it is by force." Plumeria answered. Aichi braced himself, Team Skull had the entire exit blocked off. He took out her Pokeballs and released them. "Golbat! Salandit!"
Both Pokemon roared in front of Aichi. An army of varieties of Pokemon also appeared in front of him. Aichi held the relic protectively. "Hurry and release your Pokemon!" Plumeria demanded.
Aichi didn't move from his spot. "Suit yourself, Golbat, Air Cutter and Salandit, Poison Gas!" She ordered. The grunts around her also ordered their attacks. Aichi attempted to dodge most of them, but the Poisonous Gas was spreading throughout the cave.
Aichi looked around and saw the Pokemon around him getting affected by it. "Stop! You're poisoning the cave Pokemon and your Pokemon!" Aichi shouted. He was cut by a Razor Leaf sent by a Formantis. He dropped to the ground being weakened by the Poison Gas, he was beginning to get dizzy and weak.
Aichi tried getting up but fell back down soon afterward after Plumeria stepped him back down. He looked up and saw her with a cloth around her mouth to get the minimum intake of poisonous gas. "Don't take this…!" Aichi cried before falling unconscious. He was breathing hard.
"Hurry and take that jewel from him. We're leaving." Plumeria ordered. The grunts pulled the relic out of Aichi's hands and it stopped glowing. They left leaving Aichi inside there with the poisoned cave Pokemon.
When Aichi woke up, he was on a bed inside a log house. There was a cloth on his head and he was still feeling drowsy. "Where am I...?" Aichi asked himself. He pulling himself into a sitting position and moved to the side of the bed. He stood up and immediately felt dizzy before he fell on the ground.
The loud bang was heard from downstairs and there were creaking sounds coming closer to the top floor. "Hey! You shouldn't have gotten up yet! Are you okay?!" A man asked. Aichi opened his eyes slightly before falling unconscious again.
"Professor!" Someone called from downstairs.
"I'm upstairs, Ash!" The professor answered. Ash climbed up the ladder with Pikachu on his shoulder.
"How is he?" Ash asked.
"He is still affected by the poisonous gas inside the cave. It was a good thing you, Lillie and everyone from your class went to the cove yesterday. If you all didn't notice the poison gas, this boy or any of the Pokemon inside probably wouldn't have survived." The professor explained.
"I hope he'll be alright," Ash said.
"I wonder where he is from. He didn't have any Pokemon with him when you found him." The professor wondered. "Let's go, we should let him get as much sleep as he can. I'll make the antidote later, he should drink it until he is better. Hopefully, he will be awake next time he has to take it." He suggested. They both climbed back down the ladder.
A while later, Aichi woke up again. He was feeling a little better. "I need to get the relic…" He muttered. That was when he heard the creak of the ladder signaling someone was coming up. Aichi stayed alerted. The professor climbed up the ladder with the medicine he made in his pouch. The professor walked to Aichi's bedside and saw that he was awake.
"Oh, good. You're awake." The professor said.
Aichi looked dazed, he couldn't focus on the words that he said. "Who are you…?" He asked.
"I am Professor Kukui, the professor in Alola. I know you might not feel well, that is why you should stay in bed and eat all the medicine I give you. You were in that cave with poison gas trapped inside for a while, you breathed in too much poison and you've been unconscious for one day." Kukui explained.
"Thank you for your help, but I need to go…" Aichi said. He pulled himself up and turned to the side of the bed to leave. Kukui stopped him and forcefully laid him back on the bed.
"You can't leave. You have nowhere near enough strength to stand, much less walk and climb down that ladder." Kukui warned.
"But people are counting on me…" Aichi answered. He wasn't thinking about what he was saying, all he wanted was to leave, find the relic and go home.
"Counting on you...? Where are you from maybe I can contact your friends or family," Kukui suggested.
Aichi shook his head. "They aren't here, you can't find them…" He responded.
"Okay, nevermind. Don't mind that right now. You need to drink this, it'll help your recover. When you've fully recovered, I'll let you leave." Kukui said. He held the bottle with the medicine contained inside.
Kukui supported Aichi's back to raise him up before pouring the medicine into his mouth. Aichi drank all of it and fell asleep afterward. "This is not normal; he should be a lot better by now. Could he have been breathing that poison for longer than I expected?" He thought.
After a few more days, Aichi was finally reaching full recovery. He woke up and felt strong enough to walk. He climbed down the ladder and saw that no one was downstairs. "I should thank him for taking care of me and helping me recover." Aichi thought. He waited on the couch.
Soon Professor Kukui returned and saw Aichi on the couch asleep in a sitting position. His arms were on the couch's arm and his head was in his arms. After hearing something, Aichi lifted his head and looked at the door.
"You're back," Aichi said with a smile.
"I see you're better. Are you planning on leaving and helping your friends?" Kukui asked. Aichi looked confused. "Oh right. You probably don't remember. Three days ago, you were in a bad condition. When you woke up the second time, I spoke to you and you mentioned that you needed to leave because people were counting on you." Kukui explained.
"I said that?" Aichi responded.
"Yes. I was wondering if you still plan on going on your own without anyone with you. I suggest you should at least bring a Pokemon on your journey." Kukui suggested.
"I'll be fine. This is something that I don't want to drag anyone else into." Aichi assured. He stood up from the couch and walked to the door. "I wanted to thank you for your help. I really appreciate it." He thanked with a smile. He walked outside and saw Ash coming home from school.
"That's Ash!" Aichi identified. Pikachu noticed Aichi, Pikachu felt the familiar aura around Aichi. Pikachu ran to Aichi and jumped on his shoulder. "Hello, Pikachu. It is nice to see you." He said happily. He patted Pikachu's head.
"Pikachu! What's up? You never run off randomly." Ash called. He reached the cottage and saw Aichi with Pikachu.
"Hello, Ash." Aichi greeted.
Ash looked a little confused. "Hey. You're the boy that my classmates and I found inside the cave." He responded nervously.
"Oh, you were the one that found me. Thank you. My name is Aichi, it is nice to meet you." Aichi answered. He held his hand out for a handshake.
"My name is Ash, but you already knew that," Ash responded.
"Yea… I need to get going, so thank you for saving me." Aichi said. He sounded like he was troubled. He walked to the path and hurried to try to find the relic.
"I don't sense it, I can only sense it when it is close by," Aichi said to himself. He was in an abandoned section between alleyways. Suddenly, Team Skull grunts appeared.
"You are that kid that made that jewel glow." One of the grunts pointed out.
Aichi turned around cautiously to find that he was surrounded by four grunts. "Come along quietly, we want to see your power." Another grunt ordered.
"Leave me alone," Aichi demanded. Suddenly, a Thunderbolt hit one of the grunts. Aichi turned surprisingly to see Ash with Pikachu running to him. "Ash! Pikachu!" He called.
He ran towards them, but one of the grunts was quick on his feet and grabbed Aichi's arm, spun him around and pulled his arm around Aichi's neck. "You aren't going anywhere." He said.
"So it was Team Skull that did that to you," Ash said. Pikachu took out the second and third grunt.
"If you attack me, you'll attack your friend too." The final grunt taunted.
"Pikachu, just attack. I'll be fine." Aichi assured. Ash nodded after seeing Aichi's confident eyes.
"Pikachu, go!" Ash said. When the attack was launched, Aichi bit the grunts arm causing him to accidentally let go and allowing Aichi to escape before getting hit by the Thunderbolt.
Aichi stood beside Ash, they looked at the unconscious Team Skull members. "I think we should call Officer Jenny. We can't just leave them here." Aichi suggested.
A Roton Pokedex was quickly flying to them. "Ash!" Rotom called.
"Rotom, how was your repair session with Professor Kukui?" Ash asked. Aichi watched the Team Skull members.
Soon Officer Jenny came on her regular patrols around the town. "Officer Jenny!" Aichi called. He got her attention and hurried to see what was wrong. "Team Skull attacked us and we thought that you would know what to do with them from here." He explained.
"I will take care of this." Officer Jenny responded.
Aichi nodded. "I'll be going then, Ash." He said.
"Wait! Aren't you even going to try to be safe after what just happened?" Ash asked.
"I'll be fine, I don't want to waste your time," Aichi responded.
"Hey, Ash!" Someone called.
Ash and Aichi turned to the voice and saw Lillie. She walked out of her limousine with her butler beside him. "Hey, Lillie. Why are you here?" Ash asked.
"Professor Kukui asked me to stay with the boy we found in the cave," Lillie answered, she turned and saw Aichi. She gasped after realizing that he heard her.
"It is nice to meet you, my name is Aichi Sendou." Aichi greeted trying to break the tension that he felt from him. He held his hand out to shake hands with her.
"Oh! My name is Lillie, Ash's friend." Lillie responded. She held a white Vulpix in her hands.
"You know, Lillie was the first to notice the poison gas inside the cave. She was the one that saved you." Ash informed.
"I see. Thank you for saving me." Aichi thanked with a smile. They shook hands.
"Vulpix~!"
Aichi looked down to Vulpix and patted her head. "Hello, Vulpix. It is nice to meet you too." He said happily.
Lillie looked in amazement. "You can speak to Pokemon?" She asked surprised.
"I can actually. It isn't much of a talent, anyone can understand Pokemon if they are connected to them." Aichi responded. Vulpix jumped out of Lillie's hands and onto Aichi's shoulder. Aichi giggled and played around with Vulpix, Lillie and Ash looked amazed.
"Do you have any Pokemon Aichi?" Lillie asked.
Aichi shook his head. "I use to have Pokemon, I guess. But I released them so that they can live their own lives." He answered. He held out Vulpix so that Lillie can retrieve her.
"Really? What happened?" Ash asked.
"It's a little complicated. If necessary, I'll explain everything to you later, but right now I need to find what I'm looking for." Aichi answered.
"What are you looking for? We can help you find it more quickly and safely." Lillie suggested.
Aichi thought a little bit; he debated bringing them along or now. "Well… There was a gem inside that cave. When I went inside the cave, that gem radiated a strong power. That power is something that I really need, not to study, or use for myself, but it is something really important. As I was going to retrieve the crystal, a group called Team Skull spread Poison Gas inside the cave and took the relic from me." Aichi explained.
"I would need to get into some complicated explanations to explain further, so I'll just leave it at that. If you think I'm suspicious in any way, you shouldn't come with me." Aichi said.
"We're coming. Someone who is so close to Pokemon can't possibly be bad." Ash agreed.
Aichi smiled. "That sounds like something you would say, Ash." He said. Ash and Lillie looked confused.
"Have you met Ash before?" Lillie asked.
"Yes, a long time ago. There is no way you'll remember me, but I use to travel with you before I had to leave." Aichi answered. Ash remember a faint memory of Aichi from the time they said their goodbyes and their promise.
"I think I remember something, but it is a little blurry," Ash responded.
"It's fine. You don't need to remember everything. We should start searching though, do you have any idea where Team Skull would hide out?" Aichi asked.
"They could be anywhere after almost a week." Lillie pointed out.
"I'll try to ask Dialga and Palkia where it is," Aichi responded. He closed his eyes and used his power to call Dialga and Palkia. Pikachu and Vulpix, along with the Pokemon around the area all heard his call. "Dialga, Palkia. I need you to locate the relic again." He requested. Dialga and Palkia appeared in spirit form, Ash and Lillie was able to see them, but it seemed like they were the only ones able to.
"Wow!" Lillie cheered. Aichi opened his eyes with Psyqualia in his eyes.
"Dialga~!"
"Palkia~!"
"Okay, they found it," Aichi announced. Dialga and Palkia both fired where Lillie, Ash and Aichi were and they were teleported to the location of the relic. They would themselves outside a big house.
"Where are we?" Ash asked. Lillie nodded.
"We are at the location of the relic. If I were to guess, this is Team Skull's hideout." Aichi guessed. He looked around. "I'm sure that it is inside this house somewhere."
"Look who's here." Someone said from behind. All three of them looked behind and saw Plumeria.
"Plumeria!" They all exclaimed.
"Are you looking for that jewel that you tried so hard to protect?" Plumeria asked with a giggle.
"I won't let you keep that relic," Aichi responded.
"Really? Actually, once we took it from you, it slowly transformed into nothing more than a stone. It seems really useless unless we have you around." Plumeria said. They were surrounded by grunts.
"What would you even do with that relic if you always need me around? It is completely useless to you." Aichi responded.
"Actually, that isn't completely true. The energy that the jewel released while you were around, now that was intriguing." Plumeria answered.
"What are you planning on doing?" Ash asked.
"That is none of your business little boy and girl. This is something between him and us. You should leave while you still can." Plumeria warned.
"Like we would!" Ash responded. Pikachu jumped down from his shoulder and he also released his Pokemon: Rowlet, Rockruff and Litten.
Lillie's Vulpix also stood ready for battle. "Sharon, don't! We've never battled for real before." Lillie cried. Aichi looked at Vulpix's determined face.
"What skills does Vulpix have?" Aichi asked.
"You mean, Sharon?" Lillie asked. "She only knows how to use Powder Snow."
"Powdered Snow…" Aichi thought. "Okay, I'll command Vulpix." He said. Ash was taking care of Plumeria. Aichi and Vulpix had to take care of the grunts. Luckily, there were only five around him.
"Alright, Vulpix. We have to defeat these grunts together, okay?" Aichi asked. Vulpix nodded. Their opponents were Formantis, Mareanie, Drowsee, Saladit and Spinarak.
"Alright, Vulpix. Use Powdered Snow!" Aichi ordered. Vulpix blew snow at their opponents.
"Golbat, Poison Fang!"
"Formantis, Razor Leaf!"
"Mareanie, Poison Sting!"
"Drowzee, Psybeam!"
"Saladit, Ember!"
"Watch out!" Lillie warned covering her eyes.
The attacks were getting close to Vulpix. "Alright, Vulpix. Jump and use Golbat to bounce higher and use Powdered Snow!" Aichi ordered. Vulpix did as told with quick instincts. Vulpix jumped over Golbat knocking it down and getting hit by all of the projectile attacks. Vulpix then attacked the rest of the Pokemon with Powdered Snow. That made Formants and Spinarak faint. Leaving Saladit left.
"Keep it up!" Aichi cheered.
"Saladit, Ember!"
"Vulpix turned to the ground and use it to push yourself up!" Aichi ordered. Vulpix used the attack to fly higher. Once the snow melted, Vulpix began to fall again. The heat and the snow caused Vulpix to be soaked with water.
Vulpix landed safely on the ground. There was a large puddle of water on the ground.
"Ember!"
"Vulpix, kick the water at Saladit before it can attack!" Aichi ordered. The water reached Saladit and extinguished the flame inside Saladit's mouth. "Okay, finish with Powdered Snow!" Vulpix finished off Saladit.
"Retreat!"
After hearing that, Lillie opened her eyes to see Sharon okay and at full health. Her fur was wet, but she was happy that they won. "Sharon! You did it!" She cheered. They hugged. Aichi smiled after seeing how happy they were.
He turned to Ash to see that he was struggling against Plumeria.
"Do I have to do everything?" Plumeria asked herself frustrated after seeing her comrades lose to Aichi and Vulpix.
Ash soon won against Plumeria. "No way! How can I lose?!" Plumeria exclaimed angrily. She ran into the shady house.
"You did it, Ash!" Lillie and Aichi cheered. Ash scratched his head embarrassed.
"Let's go," Aichi said. They stood together at the entrance and entered the house. "We don't need to worry about those Team Skull members anymore because we defeated them." He explained.
They looked around the entrance. Lillie held onto Vulpix shaking. "It looks so creepy here," Lillie said.
"There isn't anything to be afraid of. Ash 's Pokemon and Vulpix are strong enough to protect us." Aichi responded. They looked around and Aichi followed the power that he felt before. It was the same as the first time as the time where he first found the relic.
"Are we getting closer?" Lillie asked.
Aichi nodded. He stood and hid behind a closed door. "It is strange that no one confronted us yet. It's like they are allowing us to wander around in their hideout." Aichi whispered suspiciously. "I can feel the relic just past this door. You two stay there in case this is a trap." He ordered.
"Will you be okay?" Lillie asked.
"Of course. Trust me okay?" Aichi assured. They nodded and stood there. Aichi opened the door quietly and saw a stone sitting on a tall platform.
"That's it…" Aichi said to himself. He looked around to see if there were any traps or people in the room. He didn't see anything out of the ordinary and proceeded to touch the stone. Aichi's pendant appeared from inside him before the relic glew brightly.
Everything was going the same as before, but suddenly he began getting pulled in by the stone. "What's this?!" Aichi exclaimed. He tried pulling his hand out of the stone.
"Another human seeking my power? How foolish of you? Although I feel that you have immense powers from Cray, that doesn't excuse you being a power hungry human." The relic told him.
Aichi struggled, but he kept being pulled inside. "I'm not using you for my own sake! I'm doing this to keep Cray safe. I need your help to keep the Void sealed, it is the only way to keep it from doing damage to Earth, Cray, and any other planets or worlds." He explained.
"The extent that humans go through to obtain my power, even telling lies." The relic responded.
"I'm not lying. Do I sound like I am thinking for myself? Without your power, Plant Cray may never have peace anymore. We will have to continue battling with the Void and even sometimes with each other. I know you originated from Cray. The first time I made contact with you, you felt the Power of Cray inside me. I am the guardian of it now, so I'm begging for your help." Aichi cried.
"Hm…" The relic responded. "If you truly don't act for your own sake, then you don't need that pendant that gives you Cray's power, also… Your Psyqualia." It added.
Aichi kept his straight face. "I will more than happy give away all of this for Plant Cray's sake." He confirmed.
"Well, shall I hold you to that?" The relic asked. Aichi closed his eyes and he was in pain as his power began getting drained away by the relic. Aichi cried in pain, upon hearing the cries, Lillie and Ash ran inside the room to find Aichi floating above the floor. His hand was released from it and the relic floated above him. Blue streams of flame and light linked the two together and they can see all of Aichi's powers getting transferred.
"This is!" Ash exclaimed. He remembered what happened with Team Flare a long time ago. "Aichi!" He cried. He ran to Aichi's side, Lillie followed. But they bumped into a barrier.
Soon the barrier disappeared and Aichi was dropped to the floor. He was unconscious. "What happened?" Lillie gasped.
"Without your powers, you won't be able to pass through worlds ever again. I will return to Cray and provide power to your seal, but the price of power is great." The relic informed. The relic disappeared leaving them in the room alone.
"Aichi! Wake up!" Ash called. Aichi didn't respond. They heard footsteps coming from the other entrance to the room. "We need to hurry. Help me get him out of here." Ash said.
Lillie nodded. Together they all got out of the hideout safely. "How are we going to get back home?" Lillie asked.
"Let's get in contact with Professor Kukui. Let's go to the Pokemon Center to use the computer." Ash suggested. "Also, the Pokemon Center is somewhere he can rest." He added.
"Do you know something about him, Ash?" Lillie asked.
"I'll tell you when we get to the Pokemon Center. Come on." Ash said. They helped Aichi to the Pokemon Center and laid him down on a bench. They first called Professor Kukui.
"Ash Lillie? Why are the both of you calling from Po Town?" Kukui asked.
"Well, we were taken by Dialga and Palkia to get what Aichi was looking for," Ash answered.
"Dialga and Palkia?" Kukui responded.
"Aichi fainted after touching a stone or something. It was weird, he was lifted up in the air, but I'm not even sure what happened." Lillie explained panicked and confused.
"We don't need to explain that yet. Professor Kukui, can you take us back to the main island?" Ash asked.
"Okay, I'll ask someone to take you back here," Kukui answered. "They will be there in about an hour." He informed.
"Okay, thank you." Ash thanked before the call ended. They sat on the bench in front of Aichi's.
"Aichi… I remember a while ago when I was adventuring through Kalos with Serena, Bonnie, and Clemont. There was another person, that was Aichi. I remember that he is from another world. At the end of our journey, there was an attack by a group called Team Flare and to defeat them, Aichi lent me all of his powers. After seeing what happened between Aichi and that relic, it was the same thing. That means that Aichi has no way of getting back to his world." Ash explained.
"I see… So the important thing that he mentioned was more important that his power and returning back to his own world?" Lillie asked.
"It looks that way," Ash answered. He scratched his head in frustration. "If only I can contact Dialga and Palkia! Maybe they can work something out!" He exclaimed.
"My Vanguard, I will always be with you." Blaster Blade said in Aichi's head. Aichi opened his eyes and saw a familiar hand. There was darkness around him, Aichi reached out for the hand.
"Blaster Blade…!" Aichi called. He touched Blaster Blade's hand and he himself began to disappear. "Huh?!" He exclaimed.
Meanwhile, Ash and Lillie saw Aichi reaching out to something with his eyes opened. "Aichi! What's wrong?!" Lillie asked in panic. Then she suddenly saw Aichi beginning to disappear. "He's disappearing!" Lillie gasped.
"I'll return with you… But I will never be able to enter the Pokemon world or any other world again, is that right?" Aichi asked. He smiled softly as he looked at Ash and Lillie.
"Ash, it has been great having adventures with you and seeing you again. But it looks like this is the real end. I'll never see you ever again." Aichi said with a smile.
"No way!" Ash exclaimed.
"I promise I will keep the world safe from Void. I lost all my powers, but I will keep fighting." Aichi responded. He saw that he was just about gone. "Bye Ash. I should've never met you, but we did. I shouldn't have ever met you again, but we did. I'm happy about that." He said with a smile.
"Bye, Aichi. Stay safe alright?" Ash answered. Aichi nodded and completely disappeared.
~Planet Cray~
Aichi woke up on the floor of the place where Void was sealed. Aichi looked up to see the relic at the center of the seal glowing.
"Your mission was a success, My Vanguard." Blaster Blade said.
"I gave up the power that Cray gave me and my Psyqualia. But as long as all of you are same, I don't need it." Aichi responded with a smile.
Harmonics Messiah appeared in front of him. "I will give you a new Psyqualia, it may be weaker than your old one, but you'll be able to use it to speak to Blaster Blade and any other one of your cards to help you with any troubles." Harmonics Messiah said. A light blue flame entered Aichi and his Psyqualia appeared again.
"Thank you, Harmonics Messiah. I appreciate it. I will use it if I ever see anything strange on Earth." Aichi thanked happily. He soon found himself back on Earth. He felt weaker than before.
"Aichi! You're back!" Naoki cheered.
"Bro!" Kamui cried hugging Aichi. He looked exhausted.
"What's wrong Aichi?" Kai asked.
"I feel a little tired than usual. That is probably because I no longer have the power that being the King of Cray granted me." Aichi answered.
"Let's not talk about that okay? Let's have a party to celebrate Kai returning!" Miwa suggested. Everyone cheered and began cardfighting.
"Stand up, Vanguard!"
Happy Birthday, Aichi!
Hey, guys!
It's been a while since I posted anything, so this is the first thing you seen from me in a while. I'm not going to lie, this special is very rushed. I mean, I didn't even have enough time to read everything over for proper editing.
Right now, I need to study for exams and while I was working on this, I was also working on projects that are worth 30% of my overall mark. It has been a busy month or so, so forgive me if there are any errors in the special! .
Anyways about Aichi, it is June 6th and that means something new from me is coming out! Last year was Vanlotte, this year is a plain old special. I remember Aichi being an iconic character for maybe 2 episodes of G: Next. But other than that, from here on out, I doubt that he is ever coming back as a not cameo. T.T
Am I the only one sad that he is the only character that didn't get much screen time throughout the entire G Series? I mean Kai had a ton of screen time, why not Aichi? I guess I just had to get that out of me, I will give useful information from this point on.
For updates: I am currently writing 3 possible stories that I am planning on publishing someday:
The first is Vanguard Metal Fusion; a crossover between Beyblade Metal Fusion and CardFight! Vanguard (currently on Chapter 6). I am targeting to post this on August 18 2017 for LunaSoraYamiMoonlightCrystal's birthday, but if I fail to finish I will write an extra chapter for Mewtwo's Resolve.
The next one is Vanguard Burst; a crossover between Beyblade Burst and CardFight! Vanguard (currently on Chapter 3) - I really liked what I thought of for this story so I'm planning to go all the way.
Finally, Vanguard GX; a crossover between YuGiOh! GX and Cardfight Vanguard (currently on Chapter 2)
Additionally, there will be more chapters added to Mewtwo's Resolve for upcoming birthdays (August 4 2017 and possibly August 18 2017).
Anyways, that's about it. I hope you guys enjoyed this special for Aichi and read the upcoming stories whenever they are posted. The next time you hear from me will probably be on August 4 2017 unless I end up posting something earlier than that. Bye! :3
