Hakuno curled in on herself in a feeble attempt to comfort herself. No one will come to her aid, not in the very thing that had created her.
She tried her best, her very best but… it simply wasn't enough at that last fleeting moment.
She was utterly alone for the first time in her short miniscule existence.
She was tired. So very tired.
She had won… but… it had taken everything and more from her.
There would be no more Holy Grail Wars.
No more conflicts to obtain the Moon. The Earth will forget about its existence. Hopefully… that would let it begin to heal. Humanity deserves a chance to live.
Her deletion was continuing. And there wasn't any chance for her to live past this one forever-extending moment.
For she wasn't human, Twice had informed her about her as Savior's fist ran through her Saber. She is just a rogue AI like him. Someone d̶̫̎e̸̯͂ś̷̬t̴̝̽i̵͍͊ǹ̴̜e̶̦͝d̶̡͒ to die for him and his goals.
Why… couldn't she get a chance for a normal life? Be happy and make friends? Why does her story have to end so soon after it started?

So very interesting! Very very interesting!
They happened to be floating down the stream of time and felt the small Bubble of time being separated and had to see what it was!
Their fingers danced on the pale girl such strange clothes, their green fingers frolicked in the auburn hair of the small human child.
Even if the girl's body was fake, her tiny soul was real and she was being shunted inside this bubble of Time and Space.
They admit they've never seen a river of time so close to their own, the small off split bubble most definitely wasn't intended for them to see. But…
Why wouldn't they take a look? They are one that Travels the Rivers of time, they might not be Time itself but they love seeing new Stories. And this child's soul is bathed in the stories of old.
They could practically taste the Time fused into her, faint wisps of her Short Life extend far farther than shou-
Oh such a mean device, killing such a tiny child is evil.

Oh? Did it detect them? How Unusual! Time was the land they frolicked in! A pesky Machine should know its place!

Pesky Pesky Machine, Even if this isn't under their Lord's domain surely it wouldn't be a problem if she aided the child?
Oh, the machine was trying to push them away… Tendrils of twisted Data emerged from the Glowing Machine's Core, latching onto the bubble of time.
One, two, three more and more of themselves split off, separate times, separate bodies for all of them, all brought out to contest this abominable machine. The Machine already let the Interesting Child go, why not let them have her!?
Preparing anti-temporal defenses
Together they danced, Lord Dialga wouldn't interfere in this, they just wanted to have fun! They wanted to listen to the Story This Child Will Sing! They rode the current of Time, travelers to it, and able to take passengers and that is what they intend to do!
Errrrooooorrrrr
True Divinity Detected.
With thousands of themselves even they could feel the machine hesitate… oh they felt their Lord's gaze upon them. Their true Lord's divine radiance leaked down, they could only see the tiniest part of their splendid white and gold leg.
They all froze.
They understood their Almighty's command to leave.
But…
They hesitated for but a moment, the machine's twisted tendrils paused, and their Lord looked down upon them, his eyes gleaming against the small child.
The human child didn't hesitate.
The child's soft tiny hand reached for them. Her tiny hand pressed against the bubble of time opposite of their own. Her body was mostly gone but her single tiny hand reached towards them.
For a split second, one that was infinitely longer in this bubble of split-off time, all three watchers observed the tiny human. All three of them were so far above the tiny human that raised her hand towards them in her sleep-induced death.
They picked up the faintest hint of Heroes surrounding her and streams of other times leaked from her pure soul. Her eyes remained closed as her soft soul pulled tighter in on itself.
The faintest hint of Passion from a Frolicking Flame, the sole Hope of Exhausted Iron, the final Requiem of a Faux-Primordial Wood, the lingering Arrogance of Human's First King, the absolute Resolution of a Star Eater, the Courage of a Fairy-Tale Knight …and the faintest hint of Undying Love from a Primordial Sun Deity's Bunrei.
Their Lord glanced at the tendrils, and something unknown to them passed between the two so far above themselves.
They could feel the machine relent, its sickening digital tendrils slowly receding, taking a fragment, a picture of a small tiny copy of the girl wearing solid white.
Their Lord watched them.
Their soft hands embraced the Temporal bubble, and they slowly dragged them to their domain. Now…
What stories will this child spin? What stories will we hear? Oh, this child will certainly make things fun to hear!
Ooooo Mew is going to be so jealous!
He was getting too old for this, that darn Farfetch'd didn't come home again, and he just had to lose that final round of Hanafuda and owed them a favor. Grumbling he weaved through the forest with ease.
"Come on out Farfetch'd come on out!" He coughed in his hand, "Come on you damn duck, if not I'll make some Duck Yakitori!"
He may be growing old but damn would he let his granddaughter come through here just yet, she still was finishing Trainer School. Shuk-Shuk should be able to scare off any-
A rustling in the bush on his right had the Mold Pokémon come from his ball on his own, she raised her head and made to look as big as possible as…the Mold Pokémon was doing its best to be threatening as the bush rustled even more…and a duck beak emerged.
"Far, Fetch, Far, Far!" Huh, the damnable duck was taunting him. Oh wait, no, not taunting him for the first time, he was telling him he found something? He shook his head, understanding other people's Pokémon was always difficult.
A glance at Shuk-Shuk and the Shuckle went up and started to converse…
Shuckle gave him the stink-eye. Oh great…He messed up somehow.
The Wild Duck Pokémon hurriedly waved its arm toward him, he rolled his eyes as he followed, and Shuk-Shuk quickly returned to her ball. That old Pokémon hated long walks.
The Duck Pokémon led them deeper, his annoyance shifted to concern as they approached Celebi's Shrine. Oh, oh no.
He grumbled as he picked up a stick, clearing an old Spinarak web that blocked his path, he saw the Shrine. While the Slowpoke was the heart and soul of Azalea Town, he knew the true Guardian of the Town and Woods.
He slowly made his way closer, he could faintly hear the giggling laughter of their resident Guardian, his hand tightened around Shuk-Shuk's Pokeball, and even the Farfetch'd wasn't being outrageous or annoying in this area. The two Pokémon and the sole human knew they could not survive if their Fickle Guardian was upset.
A small body rested in front of the Shrine, the giggling became louder.
His eyes were on the young girl who was curled up in a ball before the Stone Shrine. She looked barely older than his Granddaughter, Maizie, the Duck Pokémon poked her a few times with its leek. The girl didn't respond.
Stifling a slight panic, he approached the girl, bowing to the Shrine as he reached her. He felt relieved as he checked her pulse, Alive but unconscious… He grunted as he picked her up, a strange Pokegear slipped out from her pocket into the waiting hands of the Farfetch'd.
"Hey be easy on that!" Strange clothes, strange Pokegear, no Pokeball belt? Oh Celebi, what kind of trial did you give us this time? He can only hope the girl wasn't too far from her own time.

She felt the world of pressure squeeze and squeeze upon her, the only thing she could do was curl up tighter and tighter, in a weak attempt to live.
Her mind flared back to her last moments, Saber's grateful touch on her face as she prepared to run, the twisted specter of a man in white growled with anger.
"You represent everything my ideal represents! Why do you reject your destiny?!"
She had no answer, her hand left Saber's as she pushed her body a final crimson glow around her legs as she bolted underneath the Sage's arms barely dodging his attempt to grab her.
If he touched her she would be forced to obey him. She had no idea if the loss of her Servant would count at this last moment. She could faintly feel the thread tying her and Saber together unraveling. But it was still there.
Her legs carried her to the core, to her death.
Hakuno felt her heart pounding as she woke up. Bleary she glanced around the room, a closed window with a latch, wooden walls, a small dust-covered table, and the sole door leading outside the room. She had to run, if she didn't run Twice would catch her.
She curled into the fetal position, her knees were already dried from the tears she must have shed in her sleep. She felt the shuffling of a door open. She felt for her circuits and was reminded of her failure.
No loose thread, no magic circuits, no command seals…nothing.
She had no way to defend herself.
A pit of fear tried to come up so she quashed it.
"Sh, uckle shu kle uckle. Shu Shu..."...
She barely opened a single eye, and… there was a … she had no idea what to make of it, the Moon Cell certainly didn't have anything akin to it in their records. A sort of octopus that lives inside of a rock like a weird shell? Its appendages raised a blanket and covered her gently a… strange citrusy smell came from it as it poured a liquid out of its shell into a cup and it placed it on the table as it left the room.
Where in the Moon was she? Was that a new type of Enemy Program? Could it have been a Phantasmal Beast? Could the Moon Cell have sent her to Earth? The Earth hasn't had Mana for decades, it can't support Phantasmals. Did her wish somehow give the Earth Mana again?
Could it be a demon and she is in hell?
Hakuno took a shuttering breath, listening for the scooting of the stone on wood as she slowly left the futon she was resting on, she made her way to the window and tugged on the latch to remove it.
It came off without a problem, letting her see outside.
Luscious woods, a few trees with solid white apples(?), she could barely spot a few more buildings in the distance as well. The area was hardly lit up by flickering flames in the other buildings, she saw something gleaming in the distance. Her eyes took a moment to adapt to the darkness letting her see a creature with slightly shining eyes and it was…a ball of purple-looking fur with compound red eyes.
Can't be Earth, an insect that large couldn't exist… but neither could a strange rock octopus either… possibly Earth in the Age of Gods, the Earth was rich in Mana at that time… But the Phantasmal Beasts aren't like anything I've read about…
She couldn't escape from the window, it was too small for her… not counting she lacked the strength to pull herself out of it. And then what? Try and find a way through the woods? That would be a death sentence, while she didn't know if the purple insect preyed on humans she was still defenseless against anything that would.
And completely and utterly a̴͚̍l̷̲̖̊͝ö̶̹̝̻́ͅn̴̮̣͕͂̈́̊͝ẽ̵̳̖̖.
She glanced at the Full Moon, her heart racing as it floated there without a care in the world. She didn't know what to expect. If she was still on the Moon Cell then it could easily make an exact copy, but it normally didn't in order not to waste the processing power.
And… she can't feel Mana, the arena inside of the Moon Cell was rich in Faux-Mana to make things fair for Masters… She should have been deleted…
What if she wasn't deleted and shifted from one timeline to another?
She faintly saw something flying in the sky, but seeing the Moon made her realize.
She had won… but she still had failed. Saber should have been saved.
The… Caster from her Fourth Week, she should saved her.
Alice, Shinji, Two children she had to trample over, just for another few weeks of life.
Alice… wanted someone to be by her side, someone to remember her.
She couldn't even be beside Saber as she turned to digital dust.
Dan… Would not have let her die. He was looking for someone to pick up his torch, to teach one final lesson. He was the only one she wasn't sure she failed, she had learned a small fragment to live.
Rin…Rani…Leo… any of them should have been saved. They would have done so much more with their wishes than her.
The one who lived was the one who had no reason to live after her wish was granted.
She took a long look at her hand, the faint outlines of Command Seals were still present but she could feel they were dead she remembered every time she used one and messed up.
She sat back down on the futon. Her eyes trailed on the door, she had no idea what the strange Phantasmal put into the cup, but she wouldn't drink it. She heard a slight shuffling beyond the door, so she pressed her ear to it.
And she could hear breathing.
Author's Note: Huh, didn't think I would do this… This is a Pokémon X Fate/Extra Fanfic. There are going to be very few Fate Characters that aren't solely just characters based on them who know nothing about their parallel self in the Fate universe.
Depending on how long I keep the fanfic goin, we might leave Johto and head to Kanto or another region, I have a very general idea of what I intend to do, but it's a lot more of an abstract plan than my other works. I intend for this to be a more relaxed work.
This takes place about 4 years after the events of Heart Gold/Soul Silver, I will base it more on the games than the anime but I might take a few locations and characters from the anime.
I am not 100% well-versed in Pokémon Lore other than playing the games up to Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon and watching the show when I was younger. But man, I'm going to do my best.
I am also not super sure how long I intend to write this, I'm doing it ironically to give me something else to do so I don't burn out on my Persona Crossover... anyways
Cya Next Time!
