Hello everybody! I'm glad to be updating. I LIED! PLOT TWIST! Not really. The next chapters turned out differently than I thought so the OC won't appear until chapter six. Sorry... You know someone else updated a sonic and pokemon crossover quite recently. Is it wrong that I want mine to be way better than theirs because I have Sonic and Shadow as pokemon something I think a lot of people wanted? Hmm... oh well I will mention that I'll probably go into more detail than necessary with their dex entries and stat understanding but it won't be really necessary to remember it I'm just doing it for fun. For those of you who think pokemon is straight up strategy feel free to either correct me on something technical if you know what you're talking about and because I plan to make this story super long I'd like some pokemon battle suggestions as far as which pokemon you might want to see battling our four main protagonists. If you can be specific in moves and abilities that would be great.

Enjoy!

Chapter 3: The Start Of A New Adventure

"Yes!Yes! No don't do that! Left! Aw come on!" Gloved hands tapped frantically at buttons on the game controller as their owner made exaggerated movements. A blue hedgehog none other than Sonic the hedgehog was engrossed in the only other hobby he had that wasn't running, fighting Eggman or eating chillidogs. And that was video games. If he hadn't stopped for a moment to pop his knuckles and relax his fingers he probably wouldn't have heard his little brother, a yellow fox named Tails, enter the living room.

"You're still playing that game?" He asked walking into the kitchen and pouring himself some water.

"I can't help it. After that last stunt Eggy tried to pull with those six Zeti he'll be down and out for a good while. I gotta do something to get rid of the boredom," the blue hero replied.

The yellow kitsune took one look at the game before speaking again. "I see you're still into fighting games though I thought by now you'd be tired of them."

"No way! Fighting games are the best. Beating the crap out something virtually is almost as satisfying as real life. Besides their way more upbeat and fast paced than those strategy games you play." Sonic said picking up the controller again.

Tails had to roll his eyes at that. Don't get him wrong, he doesn't doubt Sonic even though he acts recklessly or rashly sometimes, his big brother always manages to pull through and save everyone including him. However, it doesn't change the fact that he worries a bit when the blue hedgehog flies off the handle. Tails usually likes to have some sort of plan in mind because he knows that one day Sonics speed may not be enough. A harsh truth but one that is very realistic especially if Eggman continues to improve on failed models of robots. "It never hurts to have strategy and plan ahead."

By this point emerald eyes were glued to the screen again starting the next match. "Yeah maybe but I've always preferred to wing it. How's your new invention coming along?" He said deciding to change the subject.

Tails had opened one of the cabinets grabbing some chips and smiling. He always enjoyed talking about his inventions and he was especially proud of his latest one. "Its coming along great in fact all I need to do now is test it."

He started to go into greater detail about it, something about a device that can find and open portals to other dimensions. Sonic tried to show interest in it but between the game and the fact that he hardly understood any of Tails' science talk most of it went in one ear and out the other but he still felt like he should try to show interest. Luckily he was saved from more of it when the doorbell rang.

"I've got it." He said getting up to answer only to find Rouge at his doorstep.

"Rouge? What are you doing here?" The blue hero almost never sees the white bat at his door considering GUN always occupies so much of her time. Seeing her makes him wonder if something happened especially since she didn't have that flirtatious air about her at the moment.

"Its about Shadow..." she trailed off. Sitting down on the couch opposite of where Sonic had sat. When the fox saw Rouge step in he had walked over as well just as curious as his big brother.

"He went missing two days ago leaving no indication of his whereabouts."

"But doesn't Shadow disappear for days without telling anyone where he's going anyway." Tails asked remembering the solitary and conservative nature the black hedgehog possesses.

"Yes and normally he never gives Omega and I a reason to worry because he always comes back on his own or reports in on his progress to GUN. " The bat rubbed her arm looking down at the floor. "But this time it's different. The only message we received was a static recording of Shadows last moments before whatever it was attacked him. GUN tried to locate him but there was nothing. Not even signs of a battle taking place. It's like he disappeared off the face of mobius. He even left his chaos emerald behind."

"Sounds like my rival has gotten himself into big trouble." The azure hedgehog said leaning back into the couch. Although the overconfident hero seemed calm on the outside he couldn't help but be concerned. Shadow was not a pushover by any means. All the bruises, broken ribs, and cuts he had received during their fights were proof of that. Which means that whatever attacked Shadow was either incredibly strong or had the element of surprise and was fast enough to take the black hedgehog before he could escape.

"Rouge could I see the chaos emerald?" The super intelligent kit asked. When the bat handed him the emerald and he began walking towards his workshop both Sonic and Rouge followed behind curiously. It was much bigger on the inside then you would think if you were only looking at the house from outside. There was a huge table set aside with several computer monitors and a larger table in center where several machine parts and tools lay along with a stack of blueprints. Shelves lined some of the walls where smaller parts were stored in boxes with labels. To top it off it smelled strongly of metal with a slight tinge of oil but Tails didn't seem to mind, in fact he was use to it. Overall it was the perfect mixture of organization and disorganization true to the environment of a genius or child prodigy which ever you prefer.

"What's up Tails?" The blue speedster asked when the yellow kit placed the red emerald in a machine and began typing away on a computer.

"Well since Shadow was using this emerald before he disappeared that means his residual energy is probably still present. I may be able to use that to track him down. " Tails said furiously typing away.

"But what if he's not on Mobius anymore or in even in our dimension?" Rouge inquired.

"It still shouldn't be difficult. As a matter of fact my new invention along with a few tweaks here and there should be able to trace Shadows energy and create a portal to wherever he is."

"It can do that?" Sonic asked amazed at what his little brothers machine can do.

"Sonic, I told you this earlier..."

"Oh you did?" The blue hero said scratching his head. Guess I was fully zoned out when he started talking about what it does.

"Some big brother you are, not paying more attention to the kid. " Rouge teased despite her worry for her partner. Tails just sighed. Why am I not surprised.

"Bingo! I just found his energy signature." The fox then stood up and walked over to something large hidden under a sheet. He uncovered it with one hand movement to reveal a large circular ring of metal with a panel on the side with slots for all seven emeralds.

"I call it my Dimensional Transporter Portal, or DTP for short." Both Sonic and Rouge stood in front if the metal ring impressed by the handiwork of the machinery. The blue hedgehog gave a whistle before walking to the panel with seven slots. This wasn't the first time they had seen one of Tails' inventions but it still surprises them to think that a kid did all this.

"Where did you even get the idea to build a dimensional transporter anyway." Sonic said leaning against a table and picking up what looked like blueprints for the very machine they were testing out.

"Funny you should ask that. Remember that time you were forced to take Amy on a date the entire day before Eggman had found the lost hex." Sonic visibly shuddered. He had nightmares about about marrying Amy and ending up having twenty kids after that day. She just wouldn't stop talking about their future together, asking all kinds of uncomfortable questions like where they would spend their honeymoons, whether he preferred to have twins and by far the worst one asking about how big his...well I think you know. Where did she get asking that kind of question from? Furthermore why does it even matter if you're obsessed about me anyway?!

"Sonic... are you zoning out again?" The yellow fox frowned.

"Sorry go on Tails."

"Well to put it shortly I got a visit from a me from another dimension. We talked for a long time about friends and our inventions and he told me there are versions of you, Knuckles, and Amy too. Anyways the whole thing left me with an idea to try and visit other dimensions. "

"And that's why you built this thing." Rouge finished.

"Yup."

"But can this thing really help us get Shadow back." Rouge didn't have much reason to doubt the kit, after all most of his inventions were pretty useful but the kid as smart as he is can still make mistakes.

"Theoretically it should work. The portal will trace the residual energy and create a pathway connecting it to the origin of that energy. Its pretty simple." He said as he pushed a button letting the machine come to life. "Now we just have to decide on who's going." He looked to the two other mobians in the workshop for an answer.

"I wish I could help you find him but the commander will probably want me here. We were kinda of in the middle of something important when Shadow went missing and I can't afford to play hooky anymore or he'll threaten to do something crazy again." The spy said genuinely upset that she won't be any help.

"Don't worry Rouge I'll bring prince grumps a lot back and we can all have a laugh about this later. " He gave a thumbs up and one of his signature smiles. The blue speedster was doing his best to cheer up the bat, after all it's always been his job to keep those around him in high spirits. (Shadow excluded)

Rouge couldn't help but smile. The emerald eyed hedgehog might be cocky at times but his attitude is contagious and you can't help but believe in someone with that much confidence. "Thanks big blue. Even though I can't join you I'll come by as much as possible to help out the kid if he needs it."

"Cool. Hey Tails, I'm ready anytime buddy."

"Just a moment." His twin tails began spinning as he flew up to the other side of the lab and reached for something on a high shelf. He tossed the small device to Sonic who caught it in one hand. "What's this?"

"Its a communicator to contact me when you want to leave. But it also serves as a tracer. When you and Shadow are ready to leave all you have to do is put a little chaos into it and it'll send a signal to me here where I can create a portal for you to come back here." Of course like his portal he hadn't tested the watch like device his big brother was putting on now but he hoped it worked fine. He wasn't planning on testing it on people just yet in case there was some unseen problem he had to fix but if Shadow needed help they couldn't waste time. "All set! Let's get this show on the road."

"Wait! Are you sure you don't want anyone else to come with you." The blue hero thought about it a minute before speaking. Amy's a definite no, she'd glomp me to death before I'd find Shadow. Knuckles is busy guarding the master emerald as always. The Chaotix will end up being more trouble than they're worth... "Nope, I think I'll be fine."

"Are you sure? This won't be like those times you jumped into some story book or was summoned to a medieval world that you claim you became a king in." Rouge said.

"Because I did!" Sonic said slightly annoyed that Rouge along with Shadow refuse to believe that he had what it takes to be a king. They seem to find it very funny much to the speedsters displeasure. "And I'll be fine like always." He added after a few moments.

"If you say so. Try not to take forever though 'kay hun."

Sonic snorted. "I'll be back before you can even think about stealing your next emerald."

"Alright all systems go!" Tails announced. With the coordinates set and all seven emeralds in place the portal began to glow a bright white. The emeralds began to glow as they pumped chaos into the machine and the blue hero felt his fur tingle all over from the rush of energy. It was the start of a new adventure for him, one that could possibly be more unique and memorable than all the ones hero of mobius gave one last thumbs up to his friends before stepping through the portal to another world.

If he had stayed a few minutes more he might have been there to see the roar of an angry dragon shatter nearly everything in the lab, see the portal exploding, and see the seven chaos emeralds disappear from sight...

I bet some of you are already wondering who that dragon is. I'll give you a hint: Its a legendary from the Sinnoh region. Honestly I don't understand why that legendary and its counterpart aren't used more in pokemon and Sonic crossovers. You could do so much with it because if how it connects to chaos (c'mon space and time!) SMH... That just makes me wanna cry. Anyway I'm in good shape since I'm already working on chapter six so there shouldn't be any really long periods of time between updating for several chapters.
