"Hoopa what is with this small child?" Meray asked once she awoke
"m-my name is Eri." Eri said
sensing the child's distress Baraz took a knee
"are you alright little one?" Baraz asked
"I'm fine... I think." Eri said as she felt her horn grow
Baraz slowly offered a hand
"don't touch me I don't want to make you disappear!" Eri said
"like you did with that man in black?" Giratina asked
"huh?" Eri said
"hoopa what happened?" Meray asked
"well Hoopa wanted a snack so Hoopa opened a ring and accidentally grabbed Eri-kan's food so hoopa went to see what it was them a bad man was gonna show up so hoopa hid with Eri-kan and replaced Eri-kan with a zorokan and zorokan made the bad man disappear!" Hoopa explained
"and how did they do this?" Baraz asked
hoopa did a biting motion
"okay..." Baraz said having connected the dots
"zorokan then turn back into Eri-kan and then left! Then hoopa and Eri-kan snuck away before being spotted by more bad men! So hoopa and Eri-kan ran until we ran into 3 weird looking bad men! One of them had crystals! So hoopa ringed zerakan over and then BAM! BAM! BAM! They were all knocked down!" Hoopa explained while doing some fighting motions
baraz and Meray nodded
"then we went through another ring! And found two more bad men one made a barrier which i summoned regikan to break then the other bad man tried to fight regikan before losing badly!" Hoopa continued "then we went to this big place where two more bad men appeared and told us to give Eri-kan! So hoopa summoned Gira-"
giratina stared at hoopa
"-Tina...to fight!"
giratina nodded
"-then we fought Hoopa unleashed power and it looked like we won! But then one of the bad men knocked power's bottle out of hoopa's hand! Power flew around for a bit before flying into Eri-kan! Then power and Eri-kan made the bad man disappear!" Hoopa explained
"and how did she do that?" Meray asked
"Eri-kan's hands glowed!" Hoopa said
"could she have used arceus's power?" Meray said mostly to herself
"it's my curse... the quirk named: rewind..." Eri said
"huh?" Meray and baraz said
"I don't know much about it but... I can apparently "rewind" things that are alive." Eri said "I..did it to my dad...and I-"
"made him disappear..." Baraz said putting the pieces together
Eri nodded
"my mom gave me to my grandpa...and then when he went into a coma...HE...took me." Eri said
"who's he?" Meray asked
"I believe his name is "overhaul"." Giratina said "just by reading some of Eri's memories I believe this man has done immense psychological damage to Eri."
"gigigas." Regigigas said (translation: wow what an asshole.)
"yes I do agree." Giratina said
"zerazera!" Zeraora said (translation: yeah fuck that guy!)
"hoopa has no clue what that means but yeah!" Hoopa said
"So she hasn't let anyone touch her?" Mirio asked Midoriya
"no not once." Midoriya said "she won't even let the doctors put an IV in."
"alright... so what about those 3?" Mirio asked referring to the Regis
"they seem to be only hostile to those who they deem a threat to Eri." Midoriya said
"that makes sense the 3 officers that tried to question her turned out to be dirty cops and those 3 sent them packing." Mirio said "I'm concerned about how they figured it out."
"what concerns me is their strength." Midoriya said "endeavour is still trying to melt his way through the ice holding one of the dirty cops."
"still?" Mirio asked "these guy's quirks must be impressive."
"are they perhaps a new type of nomu?" Midoriya suggested "i know all for one is in prison but..."
"it seems unlikely." Mirio said "but it's possible."
"maybe a bunch of different quirks of the same type." Midoriya said "but they seem intelligent, it's like they have their own language."
"who knows? But what matters is that we saved Eri!" Mirio said
Elsewhere zoroark just finished murdering her 5th corrupt hero
"I wonder how many corrupt heroes and villains I can kill in an hour before I have to go back to the hospital?" Zoroark said as she stomped the head of the corrupted hero she just finished murdering
"being an alpha pokemon is so much fun!"
she ended up killing 37 corrupt heroes and 151 villains in that hour
Eri was just given a new dress as her old one had blood stains and smelled simply terrible
"now what should we do with them?" Meray asked her brother
"the legendaries?" Baraz asked
"yes." Meray said
"I've been giving it some thought." Giratina said "and I say we go where the kid goes."
zeraora and regigigas shared this opinion
"well unless Hoopa agrees then you can't stay here." Meray said "our home is simply too small."
"actually Meray...hoopa wants to go on a journey with Eri-kan...like ashkan and pikan are doing." Hoopa said
Meray and Baraz were shocked at this
"hoopa are you sure? Eri is pretty young..." Baraz said
"Eri-Kan doesn't smile. so hoopa wants to help her smile!" Hoopa said
"well...then I'm sure the professor will agree if that's Eri's wish." Meray said
as if on cue eri walked out of the bathroom in her new outfit
"hello..." Eri said sounding a bit nervous
"hello Eri-kan!" Hoopa said "you look adorable!"
"adorable?" Eri asked
Hoopa nodded
"well eri since hoopa told us how we met you how about we tell you how we met hoopa." Meray said
Eri nodded
"it all started a hundred years ago." Baraz said "in dahara city."
"Though Dahara City looked very different than it does now. Back then Dahara City. was just a small village. Then One day, Hoopa emerged from its ring. Hoopa took the villager's food."
"Hoopa wanted tooffer the villagers something to pay them back. Gold... showers and showers of pure gold. As a result, the town grew and prospered." Meray said
"They finally built a home for Hoopa. And In return for food, Hoopa granted all the people's wishes." Baraz said
"wishes..." eri said
"hoopa was often asked to battle other pokemon to test its strength..." Baraz said "it then began to summon legendary pokemon to test it's strength."
"hoopa sorry." Hoopa said to regigigas
"gigigigigigas!" Regigigas said (translation: don't worry about it! that regigigas was an asshole.)
"It lost control. After that, something had to be done. So that bottle was used by our great-grandfather to seal off its power." Baraz said pointing at the prison bottle "and that stayed that way for a very long time."
"what changed?" Eri asked
"we'll get to that soon." Baraz said "after sealing hoopa's power our great grandfather took hoopa back here, Arche Valley."
"and when we were born we met hoopa and became good friends." Meray said
"and then a few months ago I went on a search for the prison bottle." Baraz said "and when I found it, it was angry at being sealed for a hundred years. It took control of me and made me go to dahara city where hoopa was in order to make them one again."
"after we put it back in the bottle ended up getting destroyed so we had to remake it." Meray said "during which a trainer named ash Ketchum managed to keep hoopa's power distracted."
"trainer?" Eri asked
"...you don't know what a Pokémon trainer is?" Meray asked (how sheltered is this child?)
"what's a Pokémon?" Eri asked slightly tilting her head
Meray and Baraz froze up
"Hoopa is a Pokémon!" Hoopa said
Elsewhere...
"overhaul...we have a problem..." a thug said
"what is it?" Overhaul said still angry at losing Eri
"a good portion of the heroes we bribed were killed." The thug said
"what?!" Overhaul said "was it the league of villains?"
"no... it was a monster of some kind." The thug said
overhaul let out a yell before killing the thug
"I'll kill it myself!" Overhaul said
"Woah..." Eri said after being told what pokemon trainers were
but she still wasn't smiling
"Eri-kan! Hoopa wants to join you a journey!" Hoopa said
"Zera!" Zeraora said in agreement
"regi!" Regigigas said
"we share this answer." Giratina said
"b-but what if I make you disappear?" Eri asked
"you won't." giratina said "I trust you."
"well... i guess it would be better than before." Eri said
"YAY!" Hoopa said as they grabbed the bottle "LET'S GO!"
"Hoopa don't!" Meray said
but it was too late
"Alléhooparing!" Hoopa said as they warped Eri and the legendaries to a forest
"oh no." Meray said as the ring closed before they could jump into it
"I'm.. sure they'll be fine.." Baraz said
"it's hoopa." Meray said
"you're right they're probably gonna set something on fire." Baraz said sending out his braviary "we gotta find them."
The group walked through the forest
"we need pokeballs, child." Giratina said
"pokeballs?" Eri asked
"hoopa got this!" Hoopa said "Alléhooparing!"
A ring opened and a bunch of pokeballs dropped from it
"okay now just throw them at us." Giratina said
after doing that and catching them the group continued on unaware of what was happening back In Eri's world
Zoroark chuckled
not only had they brought her to live in the dorms of the number 1 hero school but they allowed the Regis to come with
and she can feel that there is a traitor here
she can't wait to sink her teeth into them
Eri: (confusion)
Zoroark: "youknowhowlongivebeenwaitingforthis?" "Wooimboutamakeanameformyselfere!"
two sides of very different coins
