Diantha's Luxury House, Lumiose City, Kalos Region.
"Mm-Mmph! That felt better." A Boy with glasses said as he woke up and stretched from his little morning routine that he was working on.
Hi, I am Alex. Alex Carnet, I am a Pokémon trainer that has a strange backstory that has led me to finding the ones I love and protect with what I have. My story began in the Sinnoh region where I was raised by another champion. I went through multiple regions to complete my journey as a trainer where I had battled through tooth and nail to earn title of conference winner. I mean I did win two of them so that counts. My first Pokémon who still is with me: Gallade was my first Pokémon I captured in sinnoh has himself a sister and girlfriend which I do to. Alicia Valentine, a girl from hoenn I journeyed with has a crush and we've been dating a long time. My mother is Diantha Carnet, the Kalos Champion and actress. We recently saved Sinnoh from Giratina in the story of The Giratina Chronicles. We seemed like a perfect trio, but this one day would change everything: Here is how I went back in time to another region that would look like sinnoh and learn something from certain events, this is the story.
"You feel like your stretching has gone better." Diantha said as she approached Alex.
"Yeah, It makes me get loose a lot more." Alex said with a slight smile as he was working himself hard.
"When's your battle with Siebold? Like a month away?" Diantha asked as she was curious when the rematch with Siebold will go.
Ah, When I mean by Diantha Carnet. This is her. The famous actress and Kalos Champion for the Kalos Region. We met her during me and ash's journey and learned that she is my mom thanks to a gym leader via Olympia. The Psychic type user. She has been there for me as I have been for her, we saved the Kalos Region from the brink of destruction as she led the charge against the Megalith. Diantha has a Gardevoir as her ace that Mega Evolves only if necessary. She is a wonderful lady.
"Yeah, A month away. I want to make sure my rematch goes smooth and carefully." Alex said as he wanted his rematch against Siebold.
"Good. Siebold always has a trick up his sleeve so I advise you to be careful with it." Diantha said as she knew Siebold sometimes.
"Right, right. I want to visit Olympia and Valerie tomorrow to see what my future and tips await for me." Alex said as he nodded with a plan about what he has in the future.
"Okay. Oh! My event for the ceremony is starting pretty soon." Diantha said as she then looked at her phone and realized.
"Aww. You gotta leave right away?" Alex groaned as he was sad to see his mother go.
"Well I do not want to miss the event. Sorry sweetie. I gotta move." Diantha said as she became sad since she wanted to attend the event.
"Alright Mom, Good luck." Alex said as he hugged her.
"Thanks. Watch the house, feed the Pokemon and make sure they don't get rowdy. I don't wanna pay for damages." Diantha said as she didn't want any chaos in the house.
"I promise to not let the Pokemon go crazy." Alex said as he wanted to promise.
"Good. I trust you. Cause I believe in you." Diantha said as she finished the hug with Alex, Alicia then walked in.
"Ah, You're back early." Alex said to his girlfriend.
"My management says that they need to print out magazines soon. I'm just being loved around town nowadays!" Alicia said as she knew that her management with the fashion modelling was a fun time.
"Welcome home, Alicia dear." Diantha said as Alicia began to flirt.
"Hiya Alex~" Alicia said as Alex smiled, Alicia blushed on the smile.
"Just feels good too see you both together." Diantha said as she confirmed the lovebirds were together.
"Yeah… Um.. Wanna go out later?" Alicia asked as Alex loved the idea to spend his time with his girlfriend.
"Sure, Sweetheart. I'd love that!" Alex said as they held hands.
"Thanks Alex." Alicia said as she was happy with red in the face.
"And that's the helicopter. Perfect timing. Okay you two. Enjoy your day!" Diantha said as she began to leave.
"We will mom!" Alex said as Diantha was heading up to the helipad.
"Enjoy your special ceremony! We'll have our own days. Won't we?" Alicia said as she had her pink high heels that didn't show her toes as she got ready.
"Aw, Stop it." Alex said as they lightly kissed. The helicopter that Diantha was in had left.
"Come on! What's a little fun gonna hurt?" Alicia said as they then walked outside and headed to Lumiose City.
"Yeah. Okay. Where do you wanna go first?" Alex as he began to look around. Alicia brought her Gardevoir where Alex brought his Gallade with him.
"Um, The Lumiose Bakery! Great for cakes and cookies as desserts! We can have a treat for ourselves!" Alicia said as she wanted to try out the local sweets.
"Hmm, Yeah. I can deal with that." Alex said as Alicia's face sparkled with happiness. Gardevoir was more excited.
"Yay! Bakery it is!" Alicia said in delight and was cheering for it.
"..." Soon Alex and Alicia made it all the way to the Bakery as they looked at the treats on display, Alicia noticed a certain chocolate cake and began to question the cashier on a special cake.
"Wow, The cakes here seem cool. Can I get the chocolate mousse!? Please...?" Alicia said as she asked Alex on the Chocolate Mousse. Alex just chuckled.
"Alicia, It's your money. Not mine. Spend whatever you love." Alex said as Alicia smiled.
"Okay. Two Chocolate Mousse please!" Alicia said as she ordered two of them.
"Alright. We'll get it going for you." The baker said as Alicia was happy.
"Thank you." Alicia said happily.
"..." Alicia soon began to eat her cake with some slight of happiness on her face that she managed to love it a lot more than she remembered.
"Wow! This is so good!" Alicia said as Alex took a bite of his.
"I'm surprised you got one for me." Alex said as he took one bite with enjoyment.
"It's considered that you get your reward back for helping me." Alicia said as she finished and paid the bill, then she asked Alex.
"So where next?" Alex asked in curiousity to Alicia.
"Want to head to my job and see what it's like?" Alicia offered, maybe they should see her workplace.
"Sure! I wonder what you do behind the scenes." Alex said as he wanted to see the place..
"Okay. Follow me." Alicia said as they left the bakery and off to Fashion Models.
"..." Alicia entered the building with Alex as they were greeted with waves and smiles.
"Wow, You live a good life in your job. Huh?" Alex said as he knew the workplace loved her very much.
"Yeah, My manager is always time-free for me, if anything goes bad. He can cancel my job for that day. How about some exploring?" Alicia said as they toured around the area and explaining about her manager and the stuff she can do.
"Sure, I always want to visit all areas of Lumiose." Alex said as he never fully checked out Lumiose City.
"Yay!" Alicia said as they left the place.
"..." Alex and Alicia looked all over Lumiose City and enjoyed all the sights and seeings and the places of Lumiose City as they kept seeing Prism Tower due to it's large size and it's height.
"Yeah. Lumiose City is at large." Alicia said as they were exploring more and heading into the route of Diantha's home.
"Anything else you want to do?" Alex asked as he was wondering what else Alicia wanted to do.
"Okay, I am ready to head home." Alicia asked as she wanted to head home since she was tired.
"Huh, Already?" Alex said as he was surprised about Alicia heading back.
"Yeah. I am tired. Can we go back?" Alicia said as she asked in plea.
"Sure." Alex said as they soon made it back to Diantha's Luxury home as Alicia got to relax.
"Whew. That day felt long. Yet amazing!" Alicia said as she began to sit down on a chair and relaxed.
"Yeah. I agree, we did have ourselves a day, The Bakery, Fashion modelling is your passion. And seeing how you were able to witness many amazing things at Lumiose City felt like an experience, yet there is still more out there." Alex
"Yep. But there is just so much more. Aside the Kalos Region, I want to explore. Like Sinnoh was just a brief imagine in my head." Alicia said as she knew she wanted to explore more.
"Huh, You seem like you want to travel in the future." Alex said as he was thinking Alicia's future wanted to travelled all over.
"No kidding! When one day I have lots of money, I will explore all regions of the world. With you if you want." Alicia said as she wanted to look outside for other regions to check too.
"Sure. Anything for you. Dear Alicia." Alex said as the sun was going down at sunset.
"Thanks, Alex. Wait. Where is Diantha? Shouldn't she back by now?" Alicia said as she was wondering where Diantha was when it started to lightly rain as Alex got to the Pokemon to come for cover. Then Alex noticed a helicopter.
"Oh, Hey. Is that her helicopter?" Alex said as Alicia looked outside to notice a Helicopter.
"Maybe. We don't know if it her or not." Alicia said as she was worried if it was a stranger.
"I should go unlock it." Alex said as he grabbed the key to the door of the helipad.
"Alright, hang on. Who is it actually?" Alicia said as Alex noticed a similar resembelnce. It was the Kalos Champion: Diantha!
"Oh! Diantha is back!" Alex said as he found out who it is.
"She doesn't look too happy." Alicia said as she noticed the eyebrows of Diantha were pretty mad. Alex felt worried.
"Yikes. She gives off the vibe of a thundurus. Does she?" Alex said as he looked at Alicia in worry.
"..." Alex unlocked the door to the helipad as it was slightly drizzling as Diantha walked downstairs without a word and put away an umbrella as Alex was wondering what was happening. Diantha's Gardevoir was out of it's Pokeball.
"Welcome home." Alex said to Diantha in a calm tone. Diantha ignored him still fuming in anger..
"What happened? You do look angry." Alicia asked as Diantha still ignored them as she was more mad.
"Diantha...?" Alex said as Diantha spoke but in a angry kind of tone.
"I am just gonna go to bed. Don't talk to me." Diantha said with a snappy tone to it.
"Sorry, Diantha." Alex said in a slightly quiet tone but Diantha heard him.
"DON'T. TALK. TO. ME! IM NOT IN THE MOOD!" Diantha shouted angrily at Alex, whom seem a little scared from the words, shocking Alicia then she went very silent with worry as Diantha walked upstairs unhappy. Diantha's Gardevoir looked with worry at Alex, and hugged him.
"Im sorry, she had a bad day. Please forgive her." Diantha's Gardevoir said in a apologetic tone. Alex lightly hugged back.
"..." Diantha's Gardevoir hugged Alex gently and comforted him from his tears that he was giving out.
"Hmmpfh.. Thanks, Gardevoir." Alex said as he slightly murmured to her.
"It's okay. She just had a bad day. It's just a bad day." Diantha's Gardevoir said as she kept comforting Alex as the embrace Pokemon kept him calm.
"Thank you... for the comforting... Gardevoir..." Alex said as he gotten slightly better.
"It'll be okay, she'll get her temper calmed down and then it'll be all better with an apology." Diantha's Gardevoir said as she knew Diantha had a pretty bad day.
"Okay. Maybe she will." Alex said as the night approached with Gardevoir comforting Alex.
"..." As the two trainers went to bed with Diantha being in a furious mood for some reason, Alex had some thoughts in his head to wonder what he wanted to do. He mumbled something while he was in bed.
"Maybe.. I'll go to the sundial tomorrow... Maybe it'll help." Alex said as he wanted to wait for Diantha to calm down.
"..." Then a rainstorm happened lightly before it started to pour harder as lightning bolts were coming across the area, it wasn't knocking out the power as some strikes were happening. A purple light went up and managed to hit the Sundial. Alicia woke up to the sound of thunder rumbling.
"Huh... bad thunderstorm outside... It'll clear up soon." Alicia said as she woke up before going back to sleep.
"...Why did she have to be like that?" Alex said quietly as he looked outside his window as his vibes were right.
"...Mom, What happened...?" Alex whispered as he went to sleep in tears.
THE NEXT MORNING
"..Alright Flygon, To Anistar city!" Alex said as he summoned flygon.
"Right away!" Flygon said as later on Alicia woke up and noticed Flygon and Alex left.
"Huh... Alex left... Oh dear." Alicia said as after a bit, Diantha woke up and greeted Alicia.
"Morning dear." Diantha said to Alicia with a slight tone of happiness.
"Morning, Champion Diantha." Alicia said as Diantha kept reminding her about her name.
"Just call me Diantha. I'm fine with it." Diantha said as she was fine with her regular name.
"Alex!" Diantha called out as nothing worked. Alicia finally spoke up.
"Diantha!" Alicia asked to the mother and champion.
"Is something wrong, Alicia?" Diantha asked as she was wondering if Alicia had something wrong.
"What in the actual WORLD were you mad about last night?" Alicia questioned as Diantha had frowned and looked mad at her.
"It's nothing. I gotta get myself ready." Diantha said as she turned around and began cutting some food.
"Did you have a bad day yesterday?" Alicia asked as Diantha brushed the question away again.
"I'm choosing not to speak about it. Alex! Alex!" Diantha said as she began to call Alex twice.
"He left earlier." Alicia said as she remembered about it.
"Seriously? Now?" Diantha groaned as she didn't like Alex leaving her to do some work.
"Look, I'll tell him when he gets back home, what happened yesterday?" Alicia said as she wondered once more, but Diantha kept brushing it away.
"I don't want to say. That's final." Diantha said as she made her words known.
"Hmph, so much of a cowardly champion idol that I look up to." Alicia said as she suddenly took a cold shot.
"What did you call me?" Diantha said as she turned around in anger.
"A cowardly champion." Alicia repeated as she seemed to stand tall against her.
"I spent my life protecting kalos. And you have the nerve to say that!?" Diantha said in anger as she pointed at her.
"Cause you didn't answer my damn question! And you yelled at my boyfriend when he simply asked! I don't know what happened or whats going on but I swear... Is your fame from the event and that other events really all that mattered?" Alicia shouted as she knew she didn't want Diantha to be angry as she questioned her, snapping Diantha out of her angry mood. Suddenly she felt sad.
"I'm… sorry. Can you repeat what you asked?" Diantha said as she asked Alicia.
"What happened last night? Otherwise, im going to find Alex." Alicia said as she threatened to leave.
"I.. I had a bad day due to multiple things happening at once. My pilot was sleeping and he was late for his arrival, then we were heading to the ceremony until the helicopter was low on fuel so we missed out due to us finding a nearby fueling station and I found out I scored second place. And I was mad over it. Then it started to rain and my special clothing wet. I was so mad over that, It was special to me." Diantha explained as she knew she lost due to her events that led up to the incident.
"So you have multiple events that had lead you to get your day ruined. But you let your anger out on Alex when he needed to speak what was wrong. Instead of losing your temper, you could have just explained what happened and nothing would've gone wrong! But you didn't! And you made a damn fool of yourself." Alicia said as she knew that Diantha could have had ways to fix her temper issues.
"Your right. I am such a coward, I yell and never talk about my problems. I'm so sorry." Diantha said as she finally accepted what she did wrong.
"Hey, im glad you're talking it out with me. But think before speaking. It will work." Alicia said as she was glad she was speaking to her.
"Yeah. Where did Alex go? I want to speak with him." Diantha said as she wondered where Alex went.
"I think… Laverre City? If not, We can try Anistar afterwards." Alicia said as her memory was not clear.
"Alright, Can you take us there before Kathi finds out?" Diantha said as she knew Kathi lee was coming as Alicia quickly headed outside with Diantha.
"Sure, Salamence! Come take us to Laverre City!" Alicia said as she tossed a Pokeball and got onto Salamence.
"Hmph. Right away." Salamence said as Alicia was holding Salamence and looking straight at Diantha.
"Get on Diantha." Alicia said as she wanted to hurry.
"Okay. I will." Diantha said as they got on the Pokemon and took off, Kathi Lee noticed Diantha on the Salamence and pointed to the Salamence on the pilot.
"Huh? Follow that Salamence!" Kathi lee said as the pilot nodded, Diantha turned her head back and noticed it was the same helicopter with Kathi lee inside it and she rolled her eyes.
"Aw come on! Kathi won't bugger away. Can you go faster? Im gonna try to write something in case Alex is not there." Diantha snapped in frustration as she got a piece of paper out with a pencil while Alicia spoke to her Salamence.
"Alright, Speed up Salamence! Let's go!" Alicia said as she wanted to pick up the pace.
"Right away." Salamence said as she zoomed off, leaving kathi behind but Kathi lee kept a check on the salamence from far away.
"My dear son... I am so sorry for my behavior and treatment without fairity." Diantha said as she began to write the letter.
"..." The chase was on between the Pokemon and Helicopter as they raced to Laverre city to find Alex but the problem was...
The Sundial; Anistar City: Kalos Region
"The Sundial... The Sundial... is strange..." Olympia said as she had her eyes closed and visioned on the sundial.
"Lady... Olympia?" Charlene asked as she was wondering what is up with Olympia.
"What is wrong? Speak about it!" Carrie said as she wanted it out.
"The Sundial. It's acting wrong. It's out of control. Something is going on with the Sundial!" Olympia said as the Sundial was having weird glows.
"Is it in danger?!" Charlene said in concern.
"No. But anyone who is going close to them will be sent back in time. And that person... is... aaah!" Olympia said as she visioned the Sundial before her focus was sent sharply to Alex as she gasped in fear.
"What?" Carrie gasped in fear as she knew who that was, Olympia then made her call.
"The Sundial! Get to it! Quickly!" Olympia said as everyone needed to hurry up.
"What is happening to the Sundial?" Alex asked as he was seeing the Sundial was weird.
"..." The Sundial began to glow different colors as it was getting out of control when it hit a blaring red color on it.
"Something's wrong. I can feel it. But what is it?" Alex said as he was wondering what is going.
"Get out of there! NOW!" Olympia shouted at Alex as Alex heard Olympia's voice and turned around.
"Olympia! What's going oNNNN-!" Alex said before a portal opened up under him and sucked him under the portal and sent him to Hisui as Olympia gasped in horror, they were too late.
"Oh no. He's been... sent back... to Hisui..." Olympia said as she looked up too see a confused Celebi. Olympia felt shameless in her failed actions.
"Bi? Celebi?" Celebi said as Olympia wondered what now.
"Oh no... what have I done?!" Olympia said as she held her head in shame.
"Lady Olympia! Please.. you couldn't blame yourself for this!" Charlene said as she came to Olympia's aid as her Meowstic's looked at her.
"I missed it, didn't I?" A trainer said as he walked up to witness the scene.
"Seriously? You make a sarcastic comment now?" Olympia snapped at him in annoyance. Why the comments now?
"Well. Sorry. I just wanted to wonder what happened." The trainer said as he just was curious.
"Well. It's bad. You must find the champion and tell her." Olympia said as she knew Diantha would not love what happened.
"Okay? Why can't you?" The trainer questioned as Olympia felt more mad.
"I am trying to process this. Tell her what happened from my message. NOW GO RUBY!" Olympia said as she demanded Ruby to head to Laverre City.
"Alright! Laverre City she's at." Ruby said as he was heading to Laverre City.
"Oh dear, I feel like im gonna have a Bad Time when Diantha finds out. I better find him FAST." Ruby thought as he thought how the consequences were gonna go.
Laverre City, Kalos Region
"Alex! Alex!" Diantha called for the boy in Laverre City, looking for him with Alicia.
"Arceus, where is he?!" Alicia said as maybe he was hiding.
"I know he should be here. Valerie didn't see him though." Diantha said as she knew Valerie didn't see him when they came to talk to him.
"Sweetheart! Come on out and we can talk!" Alicia said as she called for him.
"ALEX!" Diantha shouted as a voice came to her and asked her.
"Hey! Are you Diantha?" Ruby questioned to the mother as the champion.
"Yeah, Are you Ruby? Trying to find Alex and looking for Hoopa?" Diantha asked as she wondered if this was Ruby.
"Yeah. Olympia was gonna-" Ruby said as Diantha cut her off.
"Here, this is for Alex." Diantha said as she gave Ruby the letter, he looked in confusion.
"What is it?" Ruby said as he looked at it.
"A letter, to Alex. I want to apologize to him for what i've said about him earlier night." Diantha said as Ruby began to tell her the news.
"Uh, Diantha. Bad news." Ruby said as he looked at her with genuine sadness.
"What bad news?" Diantha said, what was the bad news.
"Your son unintentionally hitched a ride with a celebi. And travelled back to time. But I don't when or where." Ruby said as he had the vision of what Ruby witnessed, Diantha looked at him and began to smile.
"Good one, Ruby. Seriously. Where's Alex? I want to apologize for my behavior last night." Diantha said as she was now serious.
"I just told you. He is somewhere in time and space. I don't where he went." Ruby said as he was telling the truth. Diantha gasped in horror, Kathi looked at her.
"I need a moment Kathi Lee." Diantha said as she turned around and began to sob slightly.
"I'm gonna contact cynthia about this. See if I get some context about this." Ruby said as he needed to contact Cynthia.
"Yeah... Go ahead... and do... that." Diantha said as she began to walk away.
"Diantha, what is happening? Are you feeling well?" Kathi Lee said as she was wondering if Diantha would be okay.
"I don't know. Okay Kathi?" Diantha said as she was trying to push kathi away.
"Jeesh. Don't be so hasty." Kathi Lee said as she followed her.
"Is that me, or donuts are floating? What is that?" Ruby said as he noticed a ring in the air.
"Hoopa Ring!" Hoopa said as he began to charge at Ruby.
"NONONONONONO AAAAH-" Ruby said as he was pushed into the Hoopa ring.
"Hehe! Hoopa having fun!" Hoopa said with a chuckle as Diantha looked around. Still in denial.
"Hmm, Where could Alex have gone off too." Diantha said as Olympia's voice called out to her.
"Diantha." Olympia said as Diantha turned around and looked up to find Olympia.
"Olympia! You made it all the way from Anistar?" Diantha said as Alicia arrived and saw Olympia.
"Yes. And I just witnessed something bad." Olympia said as she saw something from her vision.
"What is happening? Is Kalos in trouble now?" Diantha said as she wondered if Kalos was in trouble.
"No. But I know what happened to Ruby and Alex." Olympia said as she knew what happened to Ruby and Alex as Diantha gasped.
"What!? Alex?" Diantha said in shock.
"Who is Ruby?" Alicia said as she raised an eyebrow.
"They have seem to have travelled back in time to another region, Alex was struck back in time from the Sundial where Ruby got sent by a ring that both managed to send them back in time to the same world like non-other before. I could detect it too see they went too: Hisui." Olympia explained as they both went back in time to the Hisui region as Diantha pieced it together.
"That means..." Diantha said as she knew what it means.
"Ruby is now missing!" Alicia said as she realized Ruby is now missing.
"Ruby is missing... with that letter I have given him?" Diantha said as she knew she gave him that letter.
"Yeah. That trainer." Olympia said as Diantha gasped, Olympia left to let Diantha think what to do.
"Im gonna go home and think about this." Diantha said as she cried out tears and dashed to a route heading back home to Lumiose City.
"Diantha! Wait!" Kathi Lee said as she followed her in pursuit.
"Oh. Diantha. Where are you... Alex?" Alicia said as she looked up before following Diantha.
"My son… my son. It's all my fault. Why did I get mad… why did I vent my anger out on him?!" Diantha said as she began to wonder out loud before more tears came out of her eyes.
"Diantha! Just talk to us! What's the problem!" Kathi Lee said as she wanted Diantha to know whats the problem.
"I can't... Kathi... I don't... want... to..." Diantha said as her words drowned out in tears.
"Come on, Diantha! Please don't cry!" Alicia said, hoping she can help.
"Diantha. Calm down!" Diantha's Gardevoir said as she followed her, wanting her trainer to be okay.
"No... I... don't... I... am... a... fool..." Diantha said weakly coming out of words due to them being sobbed out in tears.
"Ruby, Find Alex soon. He's my son." Diantha thought in tears as she thought her life was ruined. But this was the story of coming back into the present would be a long, grueling journey.
END OF PROLOGUE
