When Sid and skully got close to the village skully went back into his pokeball
"wow you really don't like people." Sid said "well asides from me."
she told cyllene of her success and went to her living quarters
as soon as she shut the door skully popped out of his pokeball...
...and nearly bonked his head on the roof
"woah be careful bud." Sid said
skully had to duck in order to dodge the roof
"I know it's not much but hey I'm doing my best." Sid said "I'm glad you decided to come with I need a few more friends."
skully tilted his head in confusion
"I miss my old friends and family and I'm worried that If I stay for too long I'll get attached to this world." Sid said"not that would probably get it."
and then skully vomited a black goo on the ground
"well you didn't have to be rude." Sid said
suddenly the goo began to form a window of sorts
"huh?" Sid questioned
suddenly it showed Ronnie Anne's face
"SID!??!" Ronnie Anne yelled
"RONNIE ANNE!??!" Sid yelled
"I thought you died!" Ronnie Anne said
"nope I'm fine!" Sid said
"are you kidnapped!?" Ronnie Anne asked
"you wouldn't even believe me if I told you." Sid said
"hit me." Ronnie Anne said
"I was kidnapped by god and sent to ancient Japan in another universe." Sid said "along side two train conductors that are from the future of this world."
"...what are you smoking and can i have some?" Ronnie Anne asked
"no I'm telling the truth!" Sid said pulling skully into view as proof
"what is that?!!" Ronnie Anne asked very confused
"his name is skully he's nice and his vomit apparently opens holes in space and time." Sid said
skully gave a wave
"I'm getting your mom and dad." Ronnie Anne said before leaving
"skully how long can you keep that open?" Sid asked
skully put up 10 fingers
"10 minutes?" Sid asked
skully nodded
"that should be enough time." Sid said
soon Ronnie Anne arrived with Sid's parents
"Sid! Are you okay where are you?" Sid's mother asked
"I'm a different universe's past." Sid said "and here's my proof!"
she pulled Skully back into frame as meadow jumped on her shoulder
"What are those?!" Sid's father asked
"this is skully he's the one causing this hole to stay open." Sid said "and this is meadow they're a tiny guy.
"can he make the hole bigger so you can climb through?" Sid's mother asked
"unfortunately I have a job to do which was given by The actual literal god so I can't leave yet." Sid said "though I am worried I might get attached to this place and not want to leave."
"Sid why would you get attached?" Sid's father asked
"because there's creatures here that totally beyond anything back home they're capable of complex thought hell skully has a cell phone somehow and is wearing pants!" Sid explained
before she had to chance to continue the portal began to shrink
"No no no no!" Sid yelled "Not now!"
Skully tried prying the hole open with his bare hands but it did nothing
"mom! Dad! I'll find a way home! I Promise!" Sid yelled before it closed
Sid was silent for a moment before getting a notification on her arc phone
it was from skully
Skully
skully: R U All rite?
She turned to skully who tilted his head
"you're one hell of a messenger. You know that?" Sid stated
Skully simply smiled
the next day
Sid found her Pokémon using skully as a pillow (minius bubbles who used her as a pillow)
"aww how adorable." Sid said quietly
suddenly there was a knock on the door which scared Skully back into his pokeball
"young Sid!" Ingo yelled "the commander wishes to see us!"
"be right there!" Sid yelled putting all of her Pokémon back in their pokeballs
she got dressed and headed to the galaxy team building
when she went upstairs she saw the commander talking to the two people she saw arguing over time and space a few days ago
"What do you intend to do about that Kleavor, Commander Kamado?! He may be descended from a warrior of almighty Sinnoh, but look at the mess he's causing. We can't sit back and let him rage on!" The blue haired young man said
"You do get right to the point, Adaman..." kamado said
"time wasted is time lost." Adaman said
"Well, tell me—what would you have us do? Kleavor is a precious lord of the Pearl Clan, is he not?" Kamado asked
"That's the point. My clan can't intervene directly where a lord of the Pearl Clan's concerned. If my people were to do something, our two clans might end up back at each other's throats— just like we used to be." Adaman said "But even folk of the Galaxy Team have been wounded, haven't they? Seems someone's got to do something here..."
"Who, then? Would the Diamond Clan have the Pearl Clan bring down one of its own honored nobles?" The blonde girl asked
"I don't believe I said that. Thought it, maybe." Adaman said
"You might as well have said it, you fool! Look—we don't even know what drove Lord Kleavor into such a violent frenzy." The blonde girl said
"I'd like to know that myself. This is a first as far as my clan knows, too." Adaman said
then kamado noticed the 3
"Hrrrm. I see you 3 have arrived." Kamado said
adaman and the blonde girl turned to face them
"these are our 3 newest survey corps members Sid, Ingo, and emmet." Kamado said
"Aha! I hear from Mai you earned Wyrdeer's favor." Adaman said "Good to finally meet you, strangers from the rift!"
"I'm "Adaman, leader of the Diamond Clan," if you want to be formal! But that's a mouthful. Just call me Adaman."
"If you 3 came from beyond the space-time rift... could you be from the space where almighty Sinnoh is said to reside?" The blonde girl asked "I'm Irida, leader of the Pearl Clan! Caution and foresight are my watchwords. Which is why I have trouble believing such a tale. Could you really have passed through that rift?"
"I have a proposition. Why not send these 3 to study Kleavor before deciding what must be done?" Kamado suggested
"You'd send these strangers, who supposedly fell from the rift, to study Kleavor? These newcomers with no experience?" Irida asked
"says the leader with almost no experience." Adaman responded
"Being a good leader isn't a matter of time—it's a matter of embracing Hisui's vastness without fear!" Irida said
"Well, then, there you have it. If how new you are doesn't matter, then let's give the them their chance. I'm sold, Commander. Let's try this your way!" Adaman said "This should be fun. I'll get to see how good you Galaxy folk really are, with all your weird ways— putting Pokémon in those strange balls and what have you."
"That whole practice bothers me!" Irida said Almighty Sinnoh made Hisui vast so Pokémon could live freely throughout. We're meant to stand alongside Pokémon, not count ourselves above them!"
"We do not use Poké Balls from a desire to control our Pokémon. Only so that we can live together. Allow us to show you what we can do!" Kamado said "This is your mission now, you 3! I order you to study Kleavor and help us find the truth of this situation!"
"YES SIR!" Ingo emmet and Sid said
"Remember that you are strangers who appeared one day out of the very sky above us. People are naturally suspicious of your presence here." Kamado said
"If you wish to be fully accepted and trusted, you must work hard. Work yourself to the very bone."
"right!" The three said
"Well, that's settled. And there's no time like the present!" Adaman said
"The Lord of the Woods—Kleavor—is descended from a Pokémon that was blessed with almighty Sinnoh's own power. No other Pokémon you've yet encountered can compare to his strength. Be warned." Irida explained
Sid could feel meadow and skully shaking in their pokeballs
adaman and Irida went downstairs
"Listen to me. The Galaxy Expedition Team has come to the Hisui region as a group of outsiders. Some might even call us interlopers. We mustn't do anything to threaten our relations with the Diamond and Pearl Clans. Understand?" Kamado asked
"yes we do!" All 3 said
"join me downstairs you 3." Cyllene said from behind them "we must go over the details of your new mission."
when they went downstairs Zane akari were waiting for them
then professor laventon walked in
"ah good you're already here." Professor laventon said
"professor laventon the briefing if you please." Cyllene said
"yes let's get right to it. You 3... I understand you've been requested to find the reason for kleavor's frenzied state. But as you're aware by now kleavor is a mighty thing. Nigh invincible even." Professor laventon said "The Security Corps tried throwing Poké Balls at Kleavor when they were attacked, but..."
"I'm afraid they didn't even come close to catching him! It seems he's a far trickier opponent than even those aggressive species of Pokémon that cannot be caught outside of battle once they're riled."
"I'd like to be perfectly clear on this point." Cyllene said "this mission will put you in extreme danger. Do you think you 3 can handle it?"
"I am emmet of course we can." Emmet said
"y-yeah." Sid said a bit freaked out at the possibility of dying
"of course we will captain!" Ingo said
"The Diamond and Pearl Clans revere their nobles because they believe these Pokémon serve their "almighty Sinnoh". They leave offerings to express their gratitude to these Pokémon in locations they call the nobles' seats." Cyllene said
"So perhaps a good starting point for our research could be to find out what sorts of offerings they normally leave for this Kleavor." Professor laventon said
they pondered it for a few minutes before a familiar voice rang out
"Sid we need to speak to you and your associates!" Mai said
"Listen—that rift in space-time seems like it connects this world to a whole other world. That world might be where almighty Sinnoh itself resides—the true almighty Sinnoh, that is. The one that rules over time!" Adaman said "So if you fell through the space-time rift, that might mean...you traveled through time— by almighty Sinnoh's own power! Think of it! You must've been just swimming in its divine might! Well, I've got a favor to ask of you, oh amazing time traveler. Don't just study Kleavor. Quell his frenzy!"
"actually I'm from a different universe these guys are from the future." Sid said pointing at Ingo and emmet
"I'm going with different timeline so I don't have to hear Irida." Adaman said
"well you certainly caught us at a good time adaman!" Professor laventon said
"Oho! You must be that Galaxy Team scholar I've heard about. Good to meet you, Mr. Professor. Share some of that knowledge with me sometime!" Adaman said "now let me elaborate a little..."
"Those Pearl Clan types have a lot of respect for Kleavor. You heard his title—Lord of the Woods. I'm sure they'd rather get this under control, too, but it's hard for them to come right out and ask those of the Galaxy Team, of all people, for help."
"that makes sense it is very special to them." Sid said
"And the truth is, we in the Diamond Clan have a similar problem on our hands. A Pokémon dear to us, off in the mountains, has flown into the same type of frenzy as Kleavor." Adaman continued "Now, there's certainly bad blood between us and the Pearl Clan, but still... We've all got to share Hisui, and that means we ought to tackle our problems together."
"But there aren't many capable of standing up to such powerful Pokémon. You're the best hope we've got." Mai said "You'll find Kleavor at Grandtree Arena. That's in the very heart of the Heartwood. His warden is a boy named Lian."
"Lian is a brilliant child but also a bit... Well. Sometimes brilliance can be blinding, you know. He'll tell you all about his beloved Kleavor— whether you wish him to or not."
"ok he sounds nice." Sid said
"Anyway, I'm sure you're up to the challenge...so we'll be counting on you! See you later!" Adaman said
and with that the two left
"Adaman and Mai weren't wrong, you know. If you're to study and perhaps even quell Kleavor, you'd best start by visiting his abode." Professor laventon said
"and our heights camp would be a handy place for setting out toward grandtree arena." Akari said
"well then what are we waiting for! Let's get going!" Zane said
the group headed out to the heights camp
later
once they got to the heights camp and got rested up Irida showed up
"may I accompany you to the grandtree arena? I have a feeling that Lian might see this frenzy as a blessing from almighty sinnoh." Irida said
"of course! the more the merrier!" Ingo said
and with that the group headed off the grandtree arena
on the way there however they were met with an unexpected challenge:
An alpha lopunny
"be careful Sid." Irida said "alpha lopunny are known to take people's heads off with a single kick!"
"that's terrifying." Sid said reaching for aero's pokeball
suddenly everything went dark as they heard the alpha lopunny cry out in pain before hearing the sound of tearing flesh
when light returned the alpha lopunny was stabbed through the chest by 3 spiked tendrils and it's head was missing
*crunch crunch*
they turned around and saw skully eating the lopunny' s head
Sid covered her mouth
Irida covered her ears
and akari covered her eyes
"I am emmet! Was that the fucking bite of '87?!" Emmet yelled in horror
Skully didn't like the taste very much so he punted the head like a soccer ball before blasting the body to bits
"SKULLY WHAT THE HELL!!!!?!" Sid yelled
"THAT'S SKULLY!?" Everyone who knew about him yelled
"I THOUGHT HE WAS LIKE A ONIX NOT A SPAWN OF GIRATINA!!!" Emmet yelled
skully's ears went up at the mention of his mother but no one noticed
"I'm sorry but normally he's really sweet!" Sid said "he fed me berries and he protected me against a alpha Luxio!"
suddenly skully went behind a bush and came out holding a injured shiny alpha eevee
"what was that doing there?" Zane asked
"please don't eat it." Irida said
"i think the alpha lopunny was attacking it before we showed up and i think that's the reason Skully killed it. Is that right?" Sid asked
Skully nodded before shoving the alpha eevee into her arms
"me?!" Sid asked "you want me to have it?"
Skully nodded before going into Sid's bag and pulled out the super potions volo gave them before they left the village
"oh...thanks." Sid said before using them to heal the eevee
the eevee soon opened it's eyes
"are you alright?" Sid asked
the eevee then began to cuddle her as thanks
"your welcome little one." Sid said
"(I helped you. Make sure to help her.)" Skully said to the eevee
"(why?)" the eevee asked
"(she's nice)" skully said before going back into his pokeball
"I wonder what they talked about." Akari wondered aloud
"I'm not sure but...I'm gonna call you moon." Sid said
and moon excitedly accepted the name
so yeah Skully-slash-Lincoln are still a bit murder happy
but as the story progresses they will do less murder and more of just kicking the crap out of people
team updates
Moon the shiny alpha eevee (female)
see you next time
