Just when they thought they were finally able to go home, something unexpected knocked 1A of course from returning to where they needed to be, now in an even stranger place than before but not as unrecognizable.

Month?: Week?: How'd we get here

Empty dimension

The class watched as the three combatants fought and battled against one another. Bakugo, infused with God's power, was battling against Saitama and Garou, hopping in and out of the dimensions at his leisure, usually in control of the fight the entire time. Even from the distant glance, all of them could see that the explosive blonde was enjoying his new gifted strength so much so that some had some fear that he may have been getting too absorbed in it and going overboard and forgetting about their plan entirely. However, they trusted that he was still in control of himself, so that would not be a problem.

This couldn't be said for their problem child that they had created to fight Saitama originally; the personalities of Sonic and Boros were obsessed with defeating Saitama to the point where they could even override their primary control and continue in their attempts to fight the bald hero. Given this obsession and the already worrying about control of the individual, the group had to restrain it from potentially interfering with the plan they had in store.

Keeping the battle secret from the other battle was easier said than done as they completely locked it inside of this separate void dimension that they found themselves in, and with Toru's Ghost Bubble enhanced by God's power, they were able to completely lock the creature out from escaping from them, where they had eventually managed to trap it and reabsorb it into themselves. However, before they could do so completely, a sliver of Boros had managed to make an incision in the barrier, momentarily taking the sun blade and hopping through the portal to wherever it was going. This sliver didn't hold any of the additional powers other than the one it originally possessed.

The place that the Boros had traveled to was unknown to them but it seemed like a place in term oil and havoc like the very planet was falling apart at the seams as the portal was closing they seemed to see a golden warrior in the skies above in battle with some other being but the hole in space-time closed before anything else could be gleaned from the environment they could go and look but ultimately it wasn't important to what they needed to focus on as Bakugo and the two others made their return, it seemed that bakugo had been going headed into the final act of his little playtime which was cemented with the fact that Garou had created the phenomena know as the big bang creating an entirely new universe in the empty void that they found themselves which were they at least credited him for waiting until nothing could be damage from unleashing such a devastating move which suggest the teen still had some of self-awarenesses however things took a drastic change when multiple breaches had permeated the area in the exact moment, there were several dark bubbles but upon closer inspection the group realized that what was inside of it was the astonishing thing.

It was them; they didn't know how or why, but they were confident it was themselves—several of them in fact—as the bubbles began to stream into the area, the area that was just about to be altered by the effect of a big bang going off, so the group did what they could, going as fast as they could as the explosion of the big bang detonated along Bakugo's stomach, completely disintegrating his body.

Similar to what they saw at Boros, they had used the sun and moon blades to cut open slashes within time and space and began to shove the dark bubbles through. They were fast, making the speed of light look like a snail pace in comparison, but the rapid expansion of matter was right by them. They did not want to find out what would happen if themselves inside the bubble were caught in its wake; it would render their plan completely pointless. Hence, they continued sending themselves out into the multiverse at large; they didn't know where they would go, but they wouldn't just let them leave, so they had established a seal on them, that they would return to their destined place given the same five-month time frame. It was the best they could do for the time that they had as they sealed the breaches as they wave washed over them.

They had come out of it relatively fine, although some of them had to regenerate missing limbs and appendages. Overall, everything worked out. Bakugo reemerged in a dazzling light, angrier than ever that the idiot teen nearly killed him as he snatched both the sun and moon blade and ripped open a portal right behind him and stabbed through as he stepped inside of it. Garou death represented the end game now, and their plan would be fully set in motion. They just needed to hope that they survived whatever landscape they had thrown themselves into.

Month 1: Week 1: We are still not in Kansa

New place Same Problems: 1A

Kalos: Route 4

Multiple slashes dotted the morning sky, a disturbance that did not go unnoticed by this region's secret watcher, it felt the conflict as soon as it had pierced into their world originally he thought that the legendary being of Palkia and Dialga had made their appearance known angered by some disturbance but that wasn't it, the reaction was too chaotic to be one of the legendary figures and when from out of these tears in reality came 20 orbs that slowly fell from the sky he knew that he had to investigate these strange objects, it was a rare occasion when he had to extend himself this much he unleashed a sound wave imperceptible to humans that could have been within range but to the intended targets the reaction was almost instant as he received several pings back from the various cells that he had scattered over the island the threat didn't seem to major so he only summoned about 10% of itself as the numerous bodies began to glow they quickly flew over to his position and joined along his body where it started to morph and change shape into that of a qaudraped before letting off a howl and speeding forwards towards where the dark orbs had set down.

The travel didn't take much time at all, this was his duty so he decided to cut loose and travel as fast as he could easily eclipsing 300 miles per hour and getting to the area within 15 minutes of when he started his run but when he was surprised that he was not the only one that had gotten there and took notice of the incident, he was met by another quadruped that looks similar to himself he knew this quadruped of course, it was himself or rather the other half of himself a fellow and only other core that made up his being usually he would not intrude into his territory of the region but this was strange circumstances so it wasn't too much of a shock, the two of them were nearly identical however the in the center of the scarf like appendage scurrying off its neck lied a red diamond instead of the blue one that he sported.

He took a glance around they were in the center of a pretty common human pathway to the largest cities in the region so there would undoubtedly be many people who would have perhaps seen a strange disturbance and gone to investigate already so the two quadrupeds thought quickly and started to boob the large dark bubbles away into the forest, while he attempted to avoid causing as much unnecessary damage as possible the same couldn't be said about his counterpart who didn't care and completely ruined the hedge mazes as he brash through them, but all he could do about it was internally sigh at his antics and judging by what was inside of these large dark orbs he could tell that they would have a long discussion about what they were going to do as they gathered the 20 dark orbs from around the park and moved them away, he also spotted where all the humans had gone as several unconscious forms had littered the pathway thankfully none of them held any serious injury which signified to him that his counter part had been improving in the time he's last seen him.

As he looked over all of the humans, he quickly left towards the sound of his counterpart as it let off a sharp howl that signaled to him that its patience was still as small as ever as he continued and made his way towards the left-hand side. It had gathered all of the orbs together and, in a slight opening within the trees, scattered a few of the other pokemon that had come to investigate with a sharp growl. The two of them took a moment to analyze each of the orbs and the contents inside of them; they were humans of some kind, but how did they find themselves in this type of predicament in the first place was the question, and why did some of them look strange for what humans should be? His opposite suggested that they should get rid of them as they seem to exude chaotic energy.

Such an uncompassionate response was typical of his opposite, while he could not deny that letting these people simply Rome free could prove disastrous; eliminating them outright just seemed wrong without giving them at least a chance to see what they would do. His counterpart offered a compromise that maybe they should get the Pokémon of Legend involved; however, given the way that the group had arrived there, it would only result in a similar outcome. His first option, manipulating the fabric of reality, was seen as a huge insult to the legendary beings, which was likely the reason why he pitched it in the first place. He also refused that option, which angered his counterpart, as he didn't believe that he would seriously consider letting these mysterious beings into the environment unchecked.

Before he could argue back, however, both of them had received pings from a distant land both in Alola and Johto of similar disturbances being spotted and brought up; this only fueled his counterparts' claim that they should just be rid of them as this could be the start of an invasion of sorts. However, he was skeptical of such a possibility, and an invasion would be completely pointless if their soldiers were completely helpless once they arrived into the place they wanted to conquer, and despite the chaotic energy that surrounded them, it did not seem that those inside held hostile intent, as he saw no weapons on their person, at least from what he could see.

He also agreed that letting unknown elements into the world without supervision would be foolish; however, he was essentially everywhere in the region so he could keep a constant eye on them in case they did turn out to be harmful. He used his monsterous pride against him, insinuating that it was scared of mere humans which had the desired effect of the rapid refusal of the very notion that he fueled to reason that if they did work to harm the balance then they could just get rid of them then and there. Speaking of their role of protector, however, allowed the conversation to shift into the uneasy feeling the two had been getting; it was almost like a crescendo that was rising in the pit of their very being that told them that the environment was at stake. Would getting rid of these strange people put a stop to that feeling, or would it be the tipping point that made it rise higher, and would he be the one to bear the weight of the loss that would happen if it turned out to be wrong? He was the one after all that had considerable more thought and respect for the humans on the planet; would he gamble their lives by freeing these individuals?

The opposite could also be true, however, and these strange individuals could be the key to saving their world from this encroaching darkness that falls upon them, but he wanted to give them a chance; it was the least they could do, and they had landed in his part of the territory, so, in the end, the choice fell to him, so expressing his authority over his counterpart, he reluctantly agreed and backed down before warning him once more that he may be making the wrong choice before leaving back towards his side of the region. He took a glance as his counterpart left before sighing to himself and looking back at the 20 people contained inside of the dark orbs.

He sent out another pulse this time, calling upon even more of his cells that were around the region. Whatever had surrounded these 20 teens was a dense field of energy that he would need 50% of his being to burst. His quadruped form started to enlarge and become misshapen as more and more cells started to converge on his position, turning into a much larger being about 10 feet tall with several of his four legs combined and shaped into a long, tale-like appendage. Instead, he lost his snout, which was replaced by a hardened shell that lacked a traditional mouth. His body continued and bloated into a more rounded shape with 11 appendages sticking out from his sides, and back the five large appendages on his back he thrust forwards as they glowed a bright green.

From out of those five tendrils emerged a flash of green holographic hexagons that flew directly toward the 20 dark orbs and collided and after a small sustained barrage of his thousand arrows the orbs finally busted open releasing their contents as the people inside dropped to the ground unconscious as the group started to fidget and rise from their slumber he willed his body to decompose and spread out once more, he would not threaten them immediately it would only provoke them to lie in the sake of their lies it would be beneficial to determine their nature by simply quietly observing their moves and actions from afar and to do just that he couldn't be in his 50% nor his 10% either he had to be at his most vulnerable state as it allows him to turn invisible to the human eye similar to the rest of his cells scatter about the region silently watching and observing for all potential threats to the ecosystem. Down to his single-core self, he quickly, as his body could, attached himself to a nearby tree and waited as the first of the teens started to wake up and take in their surroundings.

"Ugh… roll call is every present and accounted for?" Iida remarked as he groggily got up and shook his head before taking in his surroundings after a few minutes of observing and hearing each of his classmates call their names and raising a hand.

"Ugh, Guys where are we? This doesn't look like the anywhere near the school?" Jiro commented.

"ummmm….I don't think we're in our uni-" Kaminari was about to say when suddenly he felt hot his body began to seemingly burn on the inside out and his jaw locked up causing him to end his sentence with a pained shout. Everyone immediately turned to look at the yellow-haired boy in worry.

"You ok, Kaminari?" Sero asked

"Yeah, Yeah I think so but look at that!" Kaminari remarked as he pointed in a certain direction and the entire class followed its path they locked sights on an incredibly familiar sight but its familiarity also led to the strangeness of it being there and a potential realization of what was happening and potentially where they were the creature that they spotted was a Mitsuhoney or something that looked incredibly close to it, immediately the class began to crowd around the creature it had looked like a massive bee or bees three of them that was trapped in a honeycomb-like shell with two wings at its sides and two antenna on the top two heads.

"Is…is that a Pokémon !?" Mineta remarked with a gasp.

"It looks definitely like one, unless this is some new never-before-seen animal that existed in our wo-" Sero was about to say when suddenly he felt like his body was on fire burning him and causing him to hiss out in pain before checking over himself once more.

"Did it sting you?" Momo asked concerned

"No, it doesn't even have a stinger..it felt like something else like I was burning" Sero commented

"I just felt the same way before, like something was burning on the inside." Kaminari commented as well.

"Strange, could it be some sort of illness from the transportation?" Iida speculated

"Speaking about that, it doesn't seem like we made it to the right place." Tsu commented as she looked around and the class followed suit they were stunned when they saw even more Pokémon which included multiple other Mitsuhoney, Flabebe, and even a Ralts.

"Don't tell me that idiot got the wrong place." Bakugo remarked agitated.

"If had to be stranded in a place then Pokémon is like high up there on the list of great places, oh my god!" Ashido exclaimed enthusiastically, as she shook Kirishima's shoulders.

"Well, I would be excited, but what about back home?" Kirishima remarked and at that, the wondrous atmosphere was instantly halted and a somber mood settled over everyone in the class.

"I mean, he gonna comes back for us, right? He probably just made a mistake of some kind and he'll come back and get us?" Uraraka remarked.

"Tch, I wouldn't count on him." Bakugo replied roughly as he scanned around the area once more he landed eyes on Koda who was doing the same probably looking around for the other missing people as well which others were just about to comment on.

"What does that mean for the others? Blast said there was a signature for us to lock onto when we were going back but if we're here does that mean that the others are somewhere else?" Ojiro asked, and half the class's eyes went to Bakugo or Koda.

"If she is here, she'll be fine on her own, she'll find us most likely." Bakugo remarked with a shrug of his shoulders.

"Ah, look at the confidence someone has in his girlfriend." Toru teased but Bakugo simply rolled his eyes at.

"Are you going to try and use your quirk to see if you can locate Torax and Aki?" Jiro asked Koda gave a hesitant nod before tunning his amplifier and letting off a large silent scream enhanced by his horn emotion, he didn't know if they were in the vicinity but he could tell that a lot of other Pokémon were some responded to his inquiry although none of them could tell what pokemon he had been looking for.

Koda was more worried for his monster friends because of that misconception, if they were here there was a good chance that some might take them for Pokémon and attack them, of course, Aki didn't have to worry too much about her doing something too drastic at least to the person involved but to their pokemon could be another story and Torax would likely not mind either way, he equally wondered and worried about the potential of them being captured by someone but they were strong monsters, especially after eating a piece of the monster king Orochi so it would likely take a lot of effort to defeat them that no rookie trainer would be capable of but he still couldn't help but worry at least somewhat.

Koda shook his head and remarked that he couldn't reach them, which didn't necessarily mean that they weren't transported there, but they were at least not within their 10-kilometer radius of where they were at the moment. There was a moment of silence, and everyone tried to think of their next steps and what they should do. They had left the previous world with some supplies, such as clothes and some snacks, but that wouldn't last them very long, and without any money, they would have to live off the land, which brought into question what they would eat and how comfortable they would be to eat Pokémon themselves, although their were always berries they could scavenge, and if worst came to absolute worst, they could have Momo create something for them to eat, although it wouldn't really taste like much of anything and would only be to give proper nutrients for the class to survive.

The first thing that the class did was decontaminate themselves; they didn't know if they had unknowingly dragged any parasites over along with their journey to this new place; it would take some time, but they had an abundance of that while they planned their next moves, and Momo created a small drone to scout up ahead in their environment for a human town or city.

Johto region: Route 44

Silver chain was the first to wake from her slumber as she quickly surveyed her environment, she was surprised to find both Jackie and Tank top philosopher next to her, or at least a close approximation of the two individuals, she continued to survey the surrounding area once more and took notice of strange creatures around them, one of them was a pink individual nearly four feet tall and with a large tongue which shot out at her, she maneuvered quickly avoiding the appendage and slashing it off with her sword causing it to cry out in pain and begin to run away, she did not give chase to the strange monster and waited until the other two got themselves organized enough to speak although leaving nothing to chance she raised her weapons towards the both of them.

"What are you two doing here, you were not transported with the rest of us." Silver chain spoke with authority, the two of them noting the danger quickly raised their hands in surrender and it was Jackie who went first.

"Easy, their girl .. we didn't go initially but some of the monsters were planning on helping them with their battle back home so we decided to join them." Jackie replied.

"She speaks the truth, silver chain, although something tells me that we are a little off course." Tank top philosopher remarked as he took a look around, they were in a cover of some kind sandwiched in between two giant rock structures in a narrow field.

"Wait so is this not their home place?" Jackie questioned

"That is unknown for now, Blast informed us that there was a high likelihood that we would not end up in the same location, however something does seem amiss with the creatures around us." Silver Chain commented as she pointed and around them were plant-like beings with wide open mouths and small roots at the end, they had started to converge on their position, not leaving things to chance once more Silver Chain dashed forward and bisecting all five creatures.

"Hey, those could have been people for all you know." Jackie remarked

"Unlikely, they are far from anything like the heteromorphs that they have talked about and would have been capable of normal speech not simply saying variations of "weepinbell" over and over again." Silver dismissed.

"Maybe, I guess…" Jackie commented as she looked at the plant creatures once more.

"Well, anything can be possible, so dismissing her concerns outright silver chain is not smart." Tank top philospher defended, although silver chain simply nodded in acknowledgment.

"So what are we going…ooor just leave why don't you." Jackie was about to say when Silver Chain suddenly just disappeared, she returned a moment later this time carrying two people thankfully only unconscious and not killed, she carefully laid the two unconscious people down one was a fisherman and the other was a woman in a red jacket with white highlights.

She started to rummage around in their pockets for stuff and placed them down next to the two forms both of them held traditional items like keys, phones, and wallets but what caught their attention was the red and white ball objects along with two other devices on there person one seemed to look almost like a game device from their world.

"So are we just mugging people now?" Jackie quipped as she looked over the unconscious forms of the two people.

"We are simply gaining information, although I would have elected to just talk to them normally." Tank Philosopher remarked

"It would take too much time, this is more efficient." Silver chain replied simply as she picked up one of the strange game-like devices this one was held by the fishermen red in color, it looked like a phone but when she flipped up the screen a portion of the case flipped horizontally revealing its true form there were two buttons and a power and select button.

"Shouldn't we be looking through their phones instead? Oh, maybe we can just call the others?" Jackie suggested.

"You are free to try but if you were smart enough to figure out how using your own phone would be pointless, then I'm sure you could figure out that calling theirs would also be fruitless." Silver chain remarked.

"You must be confident that we are not in the right place for that assessment." Tank philosopher remarked as he took a look at his book, he wondered if he could still feel the tank top energies course through him, and surprisingly he could, although he could read nothing from his book, meaning Shoji was likely too far for him to perceive although for the moment nothing was indicating that he and by extensions the others are in danger but with silver chain present it was of no surprise as he put the book down and looked towards the dark skin teen who attempted to use one of the phones to call the others the younger women phone was locked with a passcode but the older gentlemen phone was open but as silver chain expected there was no answer she was sure to tell Jackie to erase that call before she shut it off.

Silver chain continued to mess around with the strange red device, she was able to gather some information about their predicament they were in a place called Johto the person that she knocked unconscious was named Jonathan, she also figured that if this device which was called a Pokedex was to be believed that the primary language that this place speaks would be English which should make acclimating a bit easier, she also found that she could scan her surroundings, she pointed the object at the killed creatures on the ground and there was a sudden beeping before an automated voice read out a brief description of the being.

WEEPINBELL the Flycatcher Pokémon: has a large hook on its rear end. At night, the POKéMON hooks onto a tree branch and goes to sleep. If it moves around in its sleep, it may wake up to find itself on the ground.

A list of information came up on the creature in question and even additional information was underneath indicating the creature was like a walking Venus fly trap stuffing things into its mouth and digesting them with acid. She investigated further into what these so-called Pokémon were and came upon a rather large database of 251 of the creatures. She was considering going through each one of them or better yet figuring out a way of downloading the information although she needed more tools to do that effectively.

She was about to continue when the sudden psshh sound followed by a red light passed her by, the next thing she noticed from the red light was a yellow being it was sheep like although it had a longer tail with a bulbous tip and had a blue skin color with two horizontal growing horns that were mostly black with a yellow stripe at its center. The creature seemed as surprised as they all were but its eyes quickly switched to that of the unconscious woman on the ground before shifting back to the individuals hovering above her, however, one of them had gone missing, and soon enough a hard hit to the back of her spine completely broke its thoughts as pain ruptured, it puffed up its fluff in defense but only could manage a microburst of electricity before it was knocked unconscious.

Silver chain shook her hand for a moment as she was affected by the creature's electricity, she gave a disgruntled look to the other two and Jackie quickly attempted to pass the blame onto Tank top Philosopher tossing the red and white orb she was playing with and examining into the man which unintentionally hit him in the head, casuing him to grunt with pain as he caught it from falling with his one hand.

"You know miss, you shouldn't lie so easily." Tank top master said with a minor chuckle

"Never mind that what did you do?" Silver chain asked as she examined the sheep creature with the Pokedex which it identified as a Mareep.

MAREEP the Wool Pokémon: MAREEP's fluffy coat of wool rubs together and builds a static charge. The more static electricity is charged, the more brightly the lightbulb at the tip of its tail grows.

Silver chain wrapped her hand in her living metal so that she could touch the sheep without getting shocked, she didn't kill the creature as it was protecting its partner but she wanted to test if she didn't over user her strength, feeling over its back there were a couple of microfractures in the spine but it should be able to heal up just fine, again suddenly there was another red light that had shot out directly at the creature, Silver was confused by this as she felt the body almost seemed to become completely intangible and then disappear as the red light flowed back into the red and white orb.

"Some sort of containment device I can only speculate. Just press the button in the center and the creature comes out and gets sucked back in" Tank top philosopher remarked as he tossed the orb to her which she caught.

"I see." she remarked as she pointed the device away pressed the center and unleashed the creature once more but it was still unconscious so it didn't heal the creature from its injuries at least she thought before she put it back in the ball and set the ball back down.

She continued to rifle through the device for a moment and compared it to the second device which she assumed was another pokedex but this one was black instead of red, she checked and was surprised this one held much more information than the red one as she shifted through the contents, it held a world map instead of just a regional one and the gallery was much bigger in terms of specimens that it contained it contained over five times the amount of creatures that the original did which likely suggest it may be an international variant of the same system perhaps.

"So ugh? What are we going to do?" Jackie asked

"We'll be moving on. The closes place is a town called Mahogany, how good are the two of yours English?" silver asked

"Decently enough. I can carry a conversation but may get lost in some nuances." Tank Top philosopher remarked

"I'm good, I think….but shouldn't we also be affected by that universal language stuff that the others were with?" Jackie asked

"Perhaps but it is better to be careful and make sure." Silver chain replied as she got up and started to rummage more through the people's things, the woman had a bag and she took out cartridges several of them for different things and if she memorized correctly the one that she was looking for would be the one indicated as potion, she quickly tapped the cartridge on the button on the center of the ball and watched as the button in its center blink blue for a moment before she began to set it everything back into the womens bag.

"What did you just do?" Jackie inquired

"Offer aid to this person's pet, I do not know how it works but it seems that, the creature was digitized into the ball and can be expelled with the press of a button in the center." Silver remarked as she finished putting everything in their proper places and standing back up to her full height.

"This place has managed to digitized organic matter and then remake it? Impressive. Didn't have anything like that back home." Tank Top master remarked

"Indeed, we need to move carefully, there may be a chance that they can capture even humans inside of these devices so we need not cause trouble." Silver chain spoke as she looked directly at Jackie.

"What? I can be cool, cooler than you at least." Jackie remarked slightly offended.

"Well, we should get a move on before these two wake up." Tank top master remarked simply as he took another courtesy glance at the two ensuring that they were fine before walking off.

"We aren't going to just leave them like this, are we? They could be hurt by those weird plant things if more of them show up." Jackie remarked

"We won't be." silver replied simply as she all of the poke balls the two trainers had and gestured for her to get moving once she was out of sight, she pressed each of the poke balls and released them into the air but by the time that the content of them had formed she was already gone.

Alola

Route 8

Saren was the first of his monster compatriots to rise from his seamless slumber, the first thing he heard was the crashing of waves, and he quickly raised his head and took a sweep of his surroundings other than facing the sea itself he turned around to spot a large cliff face, he was situated on a rocky outcrop on that cliff face, he looked down and realize he was quite a bit up and as he looked down he noticed some of his other compatriots were down there they were shaking themself free of the blackness that had originally consumed them, it was the large tiger monster Torax that had shaken itself first and also cased his surroundings before spotting him and shooting out its tail to physically pull itself up to its perch instead of just yelling all the way.

{You came here as well Saren?} Torax remarked as it used its front paw to rub along its right ear.

{Yes, Monster King Garou wanted to support the non-killing army in the endeavors back in their wo-} Pain suddenly flooded his system as he spoke, he quickly looked around for a source of the attack but he found none, the tiger looked around as well from the sudden movement, Saren cast a shadow spell on himself obscuring himself and the others it would incredibly stand out for anyone that had been looking at it as it was a massive dome of shadow that it couldn't see into but they could see out of, the next thing he did was cast a magic sensing spell.

{what happened?} Torax asked

{I felt like I was attacked by something but… it seems that something else seemed to be the case instead.} Saren responded as through his eyes he could see what it was something was ailing them, along the tiger's body he noted strange symbols decorate it's body likely invisible to the naked eye but to his enchanted eyes they were clear black shapes like that of ancient writing something that he couldn't even decipher but their placement along the tigers and even his own body were clearly an indication of some form of binding, he looked over to the fellow monsters and he was correct in the assumption that these weird black writing were scattered along each of them.

{Trouble already? Hmph and I thought this wor-} Torax sentence was cut off and the tiger let off a large hiss of pain, through his eyes Saren could see that the symbols began to dance and move almost like they activated blazing a brighter color.

{It seems that we are bound from speaking about our home.} Saren remarked simply as he put down the shadow barrier not wanting to draw too much attention before sliding down further and getting to the next couple of monsters. Volten and Brut were conversing with each other, the humanoid lighting and cold monsters conversing about where the other two of Brut brothers Chemonille and Enjoe which could be somewhere else on the island or they could have just completely fallen into the water by accident which got the younger man concerned, the next two individuals that had scaled the cliff face albeit with difficulty was Lord great white.

The shark monster had to carry the next monster along his back due to its unique body not being suited for climbing along cliffs as the lower snake portion was mostly useless in that endeavor and was only a hindrance draping down and scraping along the rocks.

{Ugh, I hate this can we get to flat land, please?} Eyesight remarked

{You wanted to help out as well, Eyesight?} Aki a humanoid bear monster remarked

{Well, they did save my life and the other kid was coming as well so might as well right, I remained neutral before and they still allowed me to eat part of Orochi so I guess I could help out, what's the point of gaining power with no one to use it on? Well other than robots anyway.} Eyesight replied.

{Is this everyone? Weren't there more people?} Lord great white remarked

{They could be elsewhere on the island or somewhere else entirely the possibilities are endless although we knew this when transporting here.} Saren replied

{How about we get off this cliff first?} Eyesight noted about their predicament.

{what about the humans?} Lord great white replied

{Aren't we sort of normal here? That is what the teens seemed to imply at least.} Torax replied

{Right! We don't have to hide ourselves at all.} the teen bear remarked happily.

{we will still need to keep a hold of your urges however and do be mindful of your power, people here may be more fragile than you are used to be, especially after gaining more power from orochi.} Saren remarked as he used his third arm and cast another spell this was a levitation spell that allowed all seven of them to climb up and over the cliff face into a lush jungle, this was more familiar to many of the monsters allowing them to touch the ground and fully stretch out.

{So what's the first thing that we're going to do?} Torax asked

{Well I guess the first order of business is to at least locate the non-killing army's whereabouts which is rather an easy thing for me to do at any moment however the other monsters will be much more difficult.} Saren remarked

{How come?} Brut asked

{I have shared a body with Sero therefore I can also sense where he is if I exert any effort to it, the other monsters however I'm not too accustomed to so I can't locate them as easily the only exceptions to this would be the Torax and Aki here.} Saren replied

{So were going to search the island for the other before leaving?} Volten asked

{that would be the most practical method once we ensure that they are not present here we can teleport to the non-killing army anytime that we so please.} Saren remarked and all the monsters confirmed such a plan and started to move through the forest.

It did not take long for them to come upon some rather curious creatures rather large black mice being about a foot tall and the same in length, they scattered about the jungle with haste clearing the way for the monsters to move, there was an equally small bear cub three of them that had roamed around the forest which Aki had gone up to they were mainly pink in color and strangely enough, lacked paws instead just having little stomps for legs lacking even claws or indexes, she had unintentionally snuck up on one of the small bear creatures but despite barely touching it was surprised when the monster let an almost roar like cry as it turned around and punched her in the shin the blow didn't phase her even as the creature continued to pound on her as she just looked down curiously at the small little creature.

{Sorry, I didn't mean to sneak up on you like that. Are you guys humans?} Aki asked. The smaller bear, seeing that its punches had been completely ineffective, had slowly started to slow down immensely and started to cower away in fear. The creature turned its head to look towards the other two of its kind and was shocked to see that both of them had been wrapped up in a massive snake tail, their thrashing completely helpless. Noticing the small cubs looking in the direction, Aki looked up at the lamia monster.

{Come on, Eyesight, you're not going to eat them, are you?} Aki remarked

{Hmmm, well, I'm not hungry right now, but I'm curious about how they taste. An entirely new board of creatures to eat and explore. How could I not?} Eyesight replied with a hiss, taking her tongue and licked across the two smaller creatures.

{wait! Please don't; I don't want to be alone. I'll tell you anything you want to know.} The cub that was down next to Aiki and instead of punching her grabbed onto her leg instead looked up at her with pleading eyes.

{Well, you can first start by answering her initial question.} Saren spoke, and for a very brief moment the stufful was confused. Could this human understand her and speak to her? This revelation was so shocking that even her friends in the snake Pokémon 's grasp stopped struggling, but she quickly shook her head and thought about what she was asked.

{Of course, I'm not a human; I'm a Pokémon ; that's at least what human call us, thats a human" the stufful remarked as it pointed towards Saren. The other monsters looked towards Saren before looking back.

{What's a Pokémon ?} Torax asked, and again the stufful was confused.

{Aren't you one? It's what humans call us, so we just accepted it.} The cub responded

{Have they mentioned anything about a Pokémon to any of you before about their wor-} Volten stopped for a moment again as he hissed in pain from something searching around for whatever it was but ultimately finding nothing.

{No, no, they didn't; however, that brings me to something that I should point out to you all: Eyesight drop them; they aren't needed anymore.} Saren remarked, and when the snake monster hesitated for a moment, he moved his hand over onto the handle of his sword, but the snake simply rolled her eyes at the maneuver and dropped them, and the three cubs ran away.

{I was just kidding, well, at least for now, but when I'm hungry, I'm going hunting.} Eyesight remarked

{You can as long as you don't draw attention to yourself, but more importantly, we are all branded; we can't talk about back home or you will be burned alive from the inside.} Saren remarked, earning a few gasps from the monster present.

{Didn't that happen to one of the cadre?} Lord Great White commented

{Yes, that's likely what will happen if we continue to attempt to explain or talk about it, so I urge you to mind your tongue.} Saren remarked

{So no talking about back home; that should be manageable.} Torax remarked

Indeed, furthermore, it's likely we have been thrown off course from our and likely their initial destinations, so we need to go gather information. Volten and Brut, you two should revert to your human forms, while the others I will polymorph you into the shape of a human if you like, or you can stay yourselves, but it will be likely that they will confuse you for Pokémon .} Saren remarked

{Nah, I don't feel like tripping over my own two feet again.} Eyesight remarked

{If I can be myself, then it matters not what the humans think of me.} Torax remarked

{Monster, mysterious being, pokemon Humans love to give things names; it matters not to me.} Lord Great White remarked

{Well, if they aren't, then I'm not either.} Aki remarked in agreement.

{All right, well again, try to keep your urges in check; we'll likely cause a scene and draw attention, but that will have its share of benefits.} Saren responded as the seven made their way through the forest, where they could start to see the looks of an opening that went to a roadway.

Kalos: Vaniville Town

A fletchling swooped down from outside searching for the wondrous scent that had been wafting out of one of the homes located in a human city. The bird Pokémon was greeted with the sight of a human chopping green, throwing a bundle of shaved potatoes into someone steaming water, wafting the pleasant smell once more in its direction. The small bird offered a chirp, getting the humans attention, which worked.

"Oh hi fletchling, what do you want a piece of food?" the woman remarked.

{Please, please!} the fletchling responded, although the human couldn't understand it, miming a nod that it's often seen humans do when they agree with something to get its point across, and it did. The human shaved off a piece of the potato she had and dangled it in front of her face before dropping it and allowing her to snatch it mid-air and chirp happily before flying away.

"That fletching really likes you; it comes here almost every time you cook; you should just catch it already." A voice from behind the woman remarked as she turned around to greet her older daughter, Yvonne. She had just finished rinsing her chopgreens in the sink before turning to her; she had been outfitted in a specialized suit that signified her as a sky trainer, and she had her Fletchinder on her shoulder, which chirped in agreement with what her trainer said.

"No flying is not my style; I'll leave flying types to you, but while you're standing there, could you go get your sister? I've tried once before, but of course once is never enough with her." she asked

"Well, it wasn't enough for you either." Y remarked

"What was that?"

"Nothing! I'll go get her now; don't worry about it." Y replied as she quickly left the kitchen and went up the stairs with her fletching toe. She made her way to her younger sister's room; the door already peeked open, but she decided that she would play a prank on her sleeping sister anyway by slowly closing it had the desired effect as the girl panicked from her sleep with a scream. Her spastic movement made her sprawl from out of the bed and nearly bang her leg on the table. Y laughed as her sister was finally able to get out from under her cover to glower at her.

"That's not funny, sis," she pouted as she got up to a sitting position next to her pokeball-styled round table.

"To you maybe, come on, get up. Mom almost got food ready." Y replied

"Serana, time for your morning training!" Their mom's voice rang out from downstairs, Causing Seran to roll her eyes with a sigh.

"When are you going to put your foot down? If you don't like it, you need to tell her or she will keep forcing it." Y remarked

"I don't know; it's not too bad I'm not doing anything else anyway, so I might as well indulge her a little." Seran remarked as she stood up and went towards the window and stretched both of her arms above her head.

"That will lead to a harder time down the road when you figure out something you do want to do instead; trust me, I know from experience," Y remarked.

"Stop acting like you're so much older. You're only older by two years." Seran replied.

"Yup, a full 48 months; I know a thing or two about Mom and her legacy with Rhyhorn racing," Y replied. The sisters were identical twins despite being born two years apart, which made them special; identical twins, triplets, and even decuples were pretty common, but those were mostly relegated to cousins, not direct sisters and brothers, let alone years after the fact.

"Speaking of Rhyhorn, morning Rhyhorn!" Serena remarked looking at the

{Morning!} the rhyhorn responded in its own tongue.

"Morning Rhyrhy," Y remarked as she rushed to the window and waved herself, getting a similar response that her sister did.

"Hey, look at that; the to-sale sign in front of the house next to ours is gone," she remarked, pointing to the right of their home.

"Hmm.. you are right. Guess we'll have a new neighbor soon. Get dressed. We can ask Mom if she knows anything about it while we're eating." Y remarked as she clasped her sister on the shoulders before leaving the girl's room as she got changed out of her pink pajamas.

"Alright I'll be down in a couple of minutes. Well, hopefully today is at least a little eventful." Serena said mostly to herself as her sister left the room.

A couple of minutes later

Serena was coming down the stairs just as her mother Grace had been heading upstairs with a plate of food in her hands. Serena got downstairs and headed towards the dining table where she found Y, pushing around her food and a plate for her and one set for her mother as well. She got herself situated and looked over to Y, who had a grumpy look on her face.

"I guess he's not going to be joining us again." Serena remarked

"No… AND IF MOM KEEPS LETTING HIM! he never will." Y replied in a half-scream. It took a few moments, but their mother came back down the stairs with her hands empty.

"I'm not going to force him to leave his room if he doesn't want. I told his parents that I would look after him, and I'll respect the boundaries that he has set."

"You should do that for your own children." Y murmured.

"Excus-"

"Eh, ugh, anyways, Mom, we saw that the house next door was sold. Do you know anything about our new neighbors?" Serena asked, trying to steer the conversation away from the landmine that was their guest and family problems. Grace gave Y a stern look before transferring over to Serena, her face shifting into a much more pleasant appearance.

"Yes, I was going to tell you both about it; they will be moving in today. A couple, Jack Whitlock and Amy Whitlock, along with their son Elliot Whitlock, are moving here from the Unova region. The plane should be landing soon, if I'm not mistaken." Grace answered holding hand to her chin in thought.

Kalos: Lumiose City Airport

Checking out of the window of the airplane as the landmass quickly approached was a white 15-year-old boy with a stylish comb over styled hair; most of it flowed to the left and curled up to the end, but a segment of the right was longer, slightly draped into his blue right eye. He wore a black T-shirt with brown pants with a grey belt buckle and large navy blue boots great for walking long distances. Elliot could hardly contain his excitement as he drummed his hands on top of his large satchel. Not only was he going to a region with all sorts of different Pokémon , but it would finally be his time to go out and be a Pokémon trainer and maybe even a champion. He's done so much research and studying about them and all the adventures that they have gone through, which filled his head with possibilities of what his adventure could be like, and with a whole new region to explore, including the often touted land of fairy types, it's only fitting that his dream came true there.

"You seem really excited," his mom to the left of him remarked with a smile.

"How could I not be! I'm finally getting to be a Pokémon trainer, and I can get some answers about the stone mudkip clings to." Elliot remarked, His mom was a small brunette woman with green eyes and a long head of hair; she wore a casual pink blouse with white pants and a black hat to cover her eyes from the sun.

"Before you go storming off on your adventure, you are going to be helping us move in first," a voice from behind him wrung out, partially mellowing his mood.

"I know, Dad." Elliot remarked. He did a glance back, and it was almost like he was looking into a mirror of his future. He took after more of his dad than his mom, the same brown hair with blue eyes, although his hair was more slingback and composed. He dressed business casually in a half-sleeve button-down T-shirt with khaki pants and white tennis shoes.

"Well, I hope you do," he responded.

"Oh, just let the boy be excited, Jack. He's going to be in the field with a late start thanks to someone," his mom commented.

"He will be going fully prepared; I will personally inspect your bag before you leave to make sure you have all the proper items," his brother responded.

"Ok, no problem... I'll triple-check the list you gave me." Elliot answered, and his dad gave a positive nod of confirmation before the conversation petered out as the plane started to land, the telltale sign of his ears popping as they got acclimated to the faltering altitude as the plane came to a stop and the landing stairs were brought towards the plane to offboard the passengers. They waited a moment for some of the more impatient passengers to unload first and get off before heading off themselves, taking their luggage from the overhead hanger, heading down the steps, and finally getting to step foot on land after hours of travel.

It was a great feeling to experience, and he wasn't the only one as the second ramp connected that allowed the forward half of the plane to disembark had connected, and the first person off came with a certain pazzass as he announced to the world who he was.

"Hey, Kalos region! Ash from Pallet Town is finally here!" The boy yelled; he wore a red cap with a blue jacket and blue jeans, and for some reason, he looked familiar to Elliot; even the name he yelled was also familiar, but it was the Pikachu that hopped up on the boy's shoulders that tipped him off on where he recognized him from. He was in Unova; he participated in the Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup.

The boy seemed to be accompanied by a woman with a helioptile. They conversed a bit before Ash seemed to be distracted by two Spritzees which caused him to mistook his step before tripping and falling down the stairwell of the plane. His Pikachu didn't share in its partner's fate as it jumped from his shoulders to the pad blow as he tumbled. Almost instinctually, he had started to make his way over to him to check and see if the boy was alright. Similar thoughts occurred to other adults in the area, although once the boy declared that he was ok, many of them carried on with what they were doing.

The woman had rushed down and helped Ash up to his feet, and Ash thanked her before trying to rush off, remarking that the first thing that he wanted to do was have a gym battle.

"Just a minute, where do you plan on going for a gym battle?" The woman remarked

"That's an easy one; your sister is a gym leader, right? So I'll go challenge her gym first!" Ash announced boldly.

"Wait, I'm sorry to disappoint you, but her gym isn't in Luminous City."

"It's in Santalune City, right, Viola, which would make you Alexa, right?" Elliot suddenly interjected, causing both of them to turn to the teen who realized what he did. He rubbed his hand through the back of his neck and began to apologize for eavesdropping on their conversation, but Alexa waved away his concerns.

"It's quite alright, and you're right, that is my sister and her location. I take it that you're a Kalos local." Alexa asked

"No, I just did a lot of studying since I was moving here." Elliot responded.

"Wait, her gym is not here, so now what am I going to do?" Ash pouted.

"Well, hold on, let me see if I can get a hold of my sister's mind; I'll see you in the lobby, ash, and nice to meet you?" Alexa

"Oh, Elliot."

"Nice to meet you, Elliot." Alexa remarked before taking her and leaving the two of them. Now that Elliot was closer to the kid, he realized how small he was; he was nearly a foot taller.

"Hey Ash, I saw you participate in the Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup in Unova. Are you going to participate in the Kalos league as well?"

"You can bet I am; me and Pikachu are on a journey to become a Pokémon master! That's why I want to get into a gym battle right away." Ash announced excitedly

"Just you and Pikchu?" What about your other Pokémon ?" Elliot remarked as he didn't see any extra pokeballs on the young boy.

"There back in my home town, pallet town with my professor, I like to start over everything when I enter a new region." Ash confirmed. Elliot was about to ask why, but before he could, his father was calling him over.

"That's my dad; sorry, Ash Gotta run." Elliott remarked before turning away.

"Elliot, are you going to compete in the Kalos region as well?" Ash questioned.

"Yup, this is going to be my first Pokémon journey. I hope to make it that far." Elliot replied with an affirmative nod.

"Well, I hope to see you there! Better bring your A-game because I won't be losing this time."

"Will do. See you later, Than." Elliot said with a wave goodbye, but just as he turned around to wave, something caught his eye: a shadow had suddenly cast over Ash. Ash noticed it as well, and both of their eyes shifted to the thing that was casting the shadow. Going by the Pokémon's silhouette, it was obviously a blaziken, but it looked slightly different, having a horn extending out of its forehead and more exaggerated fur on the chest extending past it towards the shoulders, with a new black color scheme that dotted its legs instead of the traditional yellow.

The most significant change is the three flowing bands of flames on each of its wrists. As soon as they caught the eye, the creature leaped off the building and down to the pavement below before immediately jumping away with incredible speed, too fast to catch, leaving both boys stunned for a brief moment.

Elliot was brought out of his stupor by his father grabbing rather forcibly on his shoulder and informing him to come on and get inside, and then telling Ash that he too should hurry along indoors. Ash agreed before hurrying himself inside to chase after Alexa, but it was the urgency of his father's voice that tipped him off that something was wrong.

"What happened? Is something wrong?" Elliot asked

"A group of "rowdy" Toxicroak have managed to magically bypass the wall surrounding the city and are somewhere nearby; they say that there isn't a need for concern since the police and Pokémon rangers are handling the situation, but I don't want to take any chances." His father replied as he led him away to the bag retrieval area of the airport. He wondered if that strange blaziken belonged to someone on the police force or rangers; could it be some sort of regional variant perhaps? He didn't catch any wind of that in any of his studies of the island, so it could potentially be something else instead. He would be excited to ask around when he was on his adventure about it; maybe it could be related to the stones he's been hearing about. For now, though he would just need to carry his luggage to the designated rental they had and set up in his new home, hopefully nothing too crazy happens that makes his father reconsider allowing him to leave on his adventure.

---

Ash quickly ran inside and met up with Alexa; she had just gotten off the phone, which made Ash even more excited as he approached her, telling her of the new Pokémon that he witnessed outside. She told him that there would probably be lots of new Pokémon that Ash hadn't seen, which only served to pump his enthusiasm through the roof, but the first thing he wanted to do other than discover new Pokémon was to win against a gym leader, but at the mention of that fact, Alexa had to put a sudden break to things, informing him that his sister was currently away from her gym and she didn't know when she would be back.

The sudden shock of hearing that he couldn't go to that gym was devastating. He was so eager to win the league and become a master to prove himself and make up for his own past mistakes in previous leagues, he could not help but verbalize his disappointment in that fact, but Alexa manages once again to change his mood by informing him that there was actually a gym located in Lumoise City so he could challenge that instead, while her sister waited, she gestured for him to follow him out of the airport, where she showed him a map of the city. There were several posted outside of the airport setup on holographic displays.

Alexa pointed to the center of the city, which highlighted the area as Prism Tower, which Alexa reiterated for him verbally. Ash confirmed that he understood and asked if Pikachu was ready to take on the gym, which he gained a resounding agreement from. Alexa remarked that the two of them would be going their separate ways now and wished him luck on his adventure while reaching out her hand for a shake. Ash hesitated for only a moment before reaching his hand out and shaking hers, thanking the woman for all her help and wishing her the best in her endeavors as well.

With that out of the way, Ash quickly turned on his heels and dashed off, running down the sidewalk of the airport so that he could get into Lumiose City proper, the only slight slowing down so that the machines could scan his Pokedex as he made his way past the checkpoint, and he jumped as he crossed the final threshold into the city proper, opening up into a bright, shining, and brustling cityscape. Multiple buildings dotted the landscape, and from as far as the eye could see, the streets were littered with people and Pokémon either laying around on benches or outside cafes and shops or walking the streets towards a destination unknown. Ash knew where his destination was going to be though as he continued to take off running, maneuvering past the others on the sidewalk, oohing and awwing at some of the Pokémon he passed, some new and familiar.

He finally got to a bridge where he finally managed to get a good look at Prism Tower where the gym leader lay he was close now and after a small break caught his breath and enjoyed the sight of the massive tower that lifted off up into the sky taller then any building that he's ever seen so far, an amazing sight and perfect for the beginning of his journey as he recovered his breath and once more asked Pikachu if he was ready and once he got confirmation off he went once again, it took about 15 minutes of solid running which turned into a jog near the end before he finally made it to the foot of the tower, their it seemed even bigger than it was from far away but he didn't let that intimidate him he was going to go inside and defeat the gym leader as the start of his new adventure in the Kalos region.

He went inside easily enough; there was a directory that pointed him in the direction of an elevator that would take him up to the gym leader's stadium. He eagerly got on and pressed the button before tapping his foot as the elevator slowly went up and through the floors before finally opening, making him jog out of it into a darkish room. The only lighting came from canisters with flowing electricity in them, which signaled to Ash that this was likely the electric gym leader, which was perfect for Pikachu, he thought as he approached the doorway and was greeted by a synthetic voice.

"Welcome to the Lumiose gym."

"My name's Ash. I come from Pallet town in the Kantos region. I'm here for a gym battle, please."

"How many badges do you have?"

"Badge? Well, this is my first gym, so I don't have any gym badges."

"What if you don't have any badges? You must have accumulated at least four badges before challenging this gym. There are no exceptions. Goodbye." The synthesized voice remarked, refusing to hear Ash out, instead actually began to threaten him as two metallic appendages extended out of the ceiling, both of them charging with electricity, and before Ash could even get a chance to back away or retreat, they fired down directly at him. Luckily, Pikachu was there for him, jumping up on his head directly and taking the brunt of the electricity for him, although some of it still bled through and gave him a short buzz sensation from the top down, which was completely ignored as the floor right beneath him fell out and he started to fall straight down a long, extended duct.

Ash banged his head twice as he twisted and turned in the duct before getting shot out into the open of the tower. He was blinded for a moment by the sudden light of the sun shining in his face, and he couldn't brace himself for the fall that was inevitably about to take him; however, his landing was incredibly softer than he had expected as he crashed in a giant whoopie cushion; it felt like a large pillow, although he didn't think about himself at that moment as he got up and looked for his Pikachu instead. He found his best friend in the arms of a small girl next to him. He heard another scream come through, which likely came from her. He looked forward towards someone else approaching him equally with blonde hair like the little girl.

Ash correctly assumed that the boy was the one who had saved him with the giant cushion, and he thanked him for that. The boy's name was apparently Clemont, as the little girl had called for his attention as she held Pikachu in her arms and then started to hug the little Pokémon, but this had the unintentional effect of freighting Pikachu, delivering a particularly harsh thunder shock to the small girl, forcing her to drop him. The girl fell to the ground with a thud, and it was here that Ash finally learned her name, which was Bonnie, as her brother called out for her and if she was okay. The girl bounced back surprisingly quickly with a small laugh, signifying that she was okay.

Clemont apologized for his sister and then demanded that she apologize as well. Even though the girl believed that she did nothing wrong, Clemont countered her and explained that it doesn't matter what she thought was ok; if the boundaries of the Pokémon were breached, then she should apologize for it. Causing the girl to shrink back in understanding with her head down. Ash came up to her and remarked that it was ok and that Pikachu just has some issues with strangers holding him because of people have been after him in the past, and thanked her for helping Pikachu in the fall. She perked right up from the praise, although Clemont coughed and still asked that she apologize, which she did so.

Ash confirmed with the boy about the gym leader and how he kicked them out; he told them how the gym had zapped him and kicked him out, which generated shock from the two involved. Bonnie expressed that the Lumiose City gym leader was really strong and amazing, and Ash could believe it, as the reason he kicked them out was because he didn't have any badges in the first place, which earned a gasp of shock from the two individuals as Clemont asked where Ash was from. Ash told them that he was new to the Kalos region and explained that he was from Pallet Town in the Kanto region. The two were surprised and wanted to hear about the boy's experience as the two took the opportunity to walk with the boy around the city and show him a couple of the shops and sights.

They began to walk for about 30 minutes. Clemont was surprisingly generous, even offering to buy him an ice cream cone, and the three of them continued. Ash, not wanting to talk about himself the entire time, also asked more about the brother and sister combo and if they were on an adventure of their own, they weren't, and he found out that Bonnie was just a year away from being able to get her own Pokémon , so she was extra excited about being able to, and Ash could remember that same feeling, telling the duo of how he was so excited that he couldn't even sleep the day before making him oversleep, but that was how he managed to meet Pikachu in the first place. He asked Clemont if he had any Pokémon , and the boy remarked that he did; he had recently caught a bunnelby, which Ash found super cool as that was also a new Pokémon he hadn't seen before, but instead of just having the teen show him like normal, Ash had the perfect place as he looked down from the bridge they were stopped on and saw a small Pokémon field below, so he challenged Clemont to a battle.

The boy was reluctant at first, but after some encouragement from his little sister, the three of them quickly got down, and from the bridge to the pokefield, Ash held out Pikachu's pokeball and Clemont held out his pokeball, and the light in the center blinked green two times, signaling that a match was confirmed. All of Pikachu's features for a moment highlighted blue and flickered for a moment, and with that done, the two took to opposite sides of the arena.

Clemont pressed the button in the center, unleashing his Pokémon in a burst of blurred light highlighted in white. The creature that came out was a small creature with large ears that stuck straight up; the ends were brown and almost looked like fingertips. It was mostly gray, and it had thick brown scruffy neck fur along with brown feet. It had round puffy cheeks with whiskers and two small teeth poked out the front. Pikachu took the stage next with an electric charge coming out of its cheeks. Bonnie was the one that signified the beginning of the bout.

Ash was faster in giving his Pokémon orders, immediately ordering Pikachu to deliver a thunderbolt. Clemont countered the technique by having bunnelby use its ears on the sand below having it blow the sand into the air blocking the bolt of lighting striking through the air, as Ash was surprised which allowed Clemont used as an opportunity to have his bunnelby to dig into the ground, Ash quickly recovered telling Pikachu to attempt to move around so that it couldn't get a lock on its position and Pikachu followed its master's orders starting to run around in a hopefully unpredictable pattered however it was of no use as when the pokemon came up it knocked Pikachu into the air before slapping it back down with its ears, Pikachu managed to land feet first and ash was quickly to continue his assault before his opponent mon was able to hit the ground with a quick attack an aura of white surrounded Pikachu as the pokemon charged forth just as the other mon feet touched the ground he was struck right in the gut.

Instead of being blown back, however, the Pokémon once more used its ears to help dig into the ground to help itself with the blowback. Clemont complimented his Pokémon 's thoughtfulness before ordering it to use double slap. Its ears started to glow a bright whitish red, and the ear it used to prop itself up came up, bringing a load of sand with it that it used to throw at Pikachu. The yellow pokemon quickly dodged out of the way of the sand but was unprepared as the small other mon closed the distance, incredibly quickly lashing out with a 10-hit combo culminating in a double hit that smacked Pikachu away. Ash was surprised by the action but wasn't giving up yet. As Pikachu recovered in mid-air and landed down by his side, Clemont once more boasted about Bunnleby's ears, but Ash had a plan for that. As he ordered Pikachu to use an iron tail, the yellow pokemon rose quickly into the air and attempted to slam down its now glowing white tail on the Bunnleby, but as Ash expected, the mon had used its two ears to catch it.

This was Ash's plan all along, as now the Pokémon had no room to maneuver from his next attack, which was electro-ball bunnelby, which was flung back as the attack landed directly on his face, blowing the small mon back, but it managed to correct itself and land on its feet, although it took a small dip in its posture as it recoiled from the pain. Ash wanted to continue with his advantage, so he continued with a quick attack. His pokemon charged forth with great speed, and Clemont and Bunnelby were both ready and prepared until suddenly something out of the left-hand side came flying onto the field, forcing Pikachu to back off and dodge the electric net that came at him.

Everyone looked toward the direction of where the electric net had come from, questioning who and why the perpetrator did such a thing, but as the duo started to speak, Ash's face fell.

Prepare for trouble. Our middle name. And make it double. It's a high-stakes game to protect the world from devastation and to unite the people of our nation. To denounce the evil of truth and love to extend our reach To the stars above. Jesse and James's team rocket blasts off at the speed of light. Surrender now or prepare to fight, fight, fight. Meow, that's right, woobefet.

Two people with blue and purple hair in matching white outfits with a red R on their chest were at the top of the staircase as two Pokémon lay in between them. A wobbuffet and Meowth Clemont took an express interest in the Meowth as the Pokémon could speak, which was a rare thing he's never seen before; however, Ash halted his enthusiasm as he grabbed him by the shoulder and told them that these were bad people who were constantly after his Pikachu.

The duo didn't deny this claim but explained even further about how Pikachu wasn't their main goal. Still, they were there in Kalos to capture an entire army of strong Pokémon for world dominance as they made Kalos their castle for their boss. Ash wasted no time in attacking first with a thunderbolt, but Jesse countered with a mirror coat as the wobbuffet started to glow a slight rainbow color all over its body and jump straight out into the electric beams' path, causing glowing energy to surround the attack for a moment before firing off with seemingly double the original intensity, striking the airborne Pikachu wholesale. The intensity of the attack was nearly blinding as the yellow pokemon let off a shot of plain and was blown backward into the dirt. Ash quickly rushed to his friend's plight as it landed on the ground with a heavy thud.

Pikachu struggled to get up, causing Ash to help his friend stand. Clemont suggested retreating and fighting another day, as not only was his Pokémon weakened from being in a trainer battle with his bunnelby along with the damage it took, but half of his moves would be reflected with double damage by mirror coat as well. Ash, however, saw it differently; he never backed down from them before, and he wouldn't now. As long as Pikachu was still able to fight, he wouldn't give up either, and they would both continue to battle until the very end.

The inspirational words were enough to spur Clemont into action as he agreed to fight alongside Ash. He turned to the duo with renewed determination to fight. Ash was the first to attack once more with an electroball. Clemont didn't have time to comment on how that was a bad choice, so instead he used his opportunity to help with mudshot. Bunnelby put its ears together and channeled a dark, murky brown energy that shot outwards in microballs—ten of them.

He was hoping that the enemy would be overzealous and reflect his attack first, allowing Ash's electroball to hit unimpeded. Of course, Jesse saw through this ploy and ordered her mon to dodge out of the way of the first attack and then used a mirror coat on the second attack, which was going to go right back to Pikachu at double the power. However, a shadow suddenly leaped from a tree nearby, taking the electric attack for the yellow pokemon. As the explosion cleared and both of the Pokémon fell to the ground, it revealed a blue Pokémon with large oval-shaped eyes, a hunch-over expression, strong back legs, and electricity coursing over its body from the electroball attack. Clemont recognized the Pokémon as a froakie; the two immediately assumed that meant that there was another trainer somewhere to be found by failing to find the person that and when the blue pokemon started to move forwards towards Team Rocket, they realized that it was likely a wild one. The froakie denounced the villainous org in its tongue, which was repeated by the talking meowth.

The froakie despite its injuries continued with its attack puffing out the main fur it seemed to have around its neck before ripping it off and throwing it at the criminal team, Jesse once more attempted to use mirror coat but it did not reflect the attack this time around, Clemont remarked that she was a bit too arrogant in her thinking as froakie's frubbles weren't a special attack so the move had no effect, the wobbuffet was knocked down into the ground and the remaining frubbles rained down alongside the defending mon towards its owners below they rose their arms in defense from the shock and were surprised to see how sticky the substance was, while they were distracted with that Ash took the opportunity to go on the attack along with Clemont, first Clemont using his bunnelby to dig underground directly beneath the trio and explode upwards forcing them up into the air, while Pikachu was instructed on using a thunderbolt, froakie assisted with the attack launching his move as well the the water and lighting strike doubling up the damage and blasting team rocket away into the distance.

Bonnie cheered for the group's victory, but the celebrations were short-lived as Froakie faltered on the ground, the double-damaged electric ball taking its toll on its small frame as it collapsed to the ground. Ash quickly scooped up the Pokémon and asked about the closest Pokémon center; however, before he could come up with one, Bonnie suggested going to the professor Sycamore research lab, which they quickly settled on as they began to rush over. The threat of Team Rocket long gone.

Route 4 Entrance to Lumiose City

The class had finally managed to disinfect and dry off their clothes, Momo noted the large city near them which was as good of a guess as any for a place to go and find shelter, they all elected to go in more traditional clothing instead of their hero outfit so that they wouldn't draw too much attention to themselves however as a group of 20 people it was hard not to draw in a couple of looks here and there which also drew in a couple of whispers from the people they past by although many of them simply thought that they were some sort of traveling troupe of some sort that was going to perform in the city for something, they had made it to the garden where many shrubbery laid some of which seemed to have been vandalized by someone that the garden keepers were quickly at work at fixing-up and making to look presentable.

They passed by a massively decorated fountain in the center, which had two makeshift tattu blowing water in two separate directions, almost like it was the shape of a heart as it was recycled into the water pool below. They had passed it by with some intrigue. Mina, Kirishima, and Sero even took a couple of pictures around the moment, although a quick yell from Bakugo got them back on the road straight ahead to the main entrance of the large city. They entered inside to find cozy room furniture with few people inside.

A young woman was sitting on a bench in the corner, and there was a front desk center in the middle with a young male and female employee who welcomed the large group to Lumiose City. The class all gave a greeting themselves as they continued to where the exit was; however, there was a problem; there was a scanner for entry into the city that remarked to scan their Pokedex or ID here so that they could proceed.

The class froze in place for a moment thinking about what they could do now. Midoriya for a brief moment, his danger sense flared, which left him distracted in the discussion, but when one of the employees at the desk asked the group if everything was alright, likely finding it unusual that the large group was just hovering by the exit, it quickly drew his mind back to his current situation. The one who answered the receptionist was none other than Iida, simply remarking that they had made a crucial error and mistakenly left their Pokedexs in their homes. The receptionist was welcoming of that fact and remarked that they could still proceed inside if they came and gave their social security number or some other set of identification so they could keep them in their system. Of course, this wasn't an option either, as the group didn't have such things, so Iida simply said that they would go back and correct their mistake as they would need them anyways before awkwardly walking out with the others of their class.

Another shocking discovery for the class was that this world also did not have quirks. Jiro remarked that the people at the receptionist's desk were talking to themselves when they were leaving, trying to figure out what was happening with Shoji, Ojiro, Koda, and Tokoyami. This was shocking to them because they wondered how people caught Pokémon in this world; otherwise, the games would have you choose your quirk, and then you would go in and battle a beginning Pokémon with low levels before you level up the Pokémon and your character to fight and take on even higher level Pokémon . If that was different, there was no telling what other difference this world would have to offer them.

So there they were back outside in the midst of the garden as they started to plan their next steps. Inside they were able to find a map of the region so they weren't going to be completely lost, but the question of what they would do for food, money, and shelter. Momo could create some shelter for them, and they had survival training in the forest before, but they had no clue about the flora revolving around the world, what would be safe to eat and what wouldn't be, so they would still need to ask a couple of questions to a passerby, speaking of which a suggestion by Bakugo that was immediately shot down by Momo and Iida was that they could earn money by beating trainers in battles; in the games he remembered they would usually get money from them, which could be helpful now.

This was shut down due to the inherent risk involved of not only hurting themselves but damaging the person's Pokémon ; instead, it would be an unfair match to begin with, as they would not know what they would be getting into in such a match if they accepted in the first place. The class went off into the side towards the woods once more off the beaten path to avoid prying eyes that had started to look at them as the morning sky started to dip into noon. The group was coming up with other places they should go and visit that didn't have a walled-off area that didn't require identification to enter, which was everywhere else, making this city seem like a rather huge deal in retrospect.

The group now had to figure out which city they would be going to next and what job they could take on without identification; they didn't like the prospects too much, and if the world were similar to their own, where money was more stored digitally than physical means, they would have no means of accepting payment for their service in the first place. Physical money likely existed, but finding jobs that only dealt in physical currency was also going to be a headache to find. The teens started to realize how lucky they were to be found by Blast and the hero association immediately instead of being forced to fend for themselves, which would have been disastrous given the world climate around monsters. This world had Pokémon , so it shouldn't be as bad for them at least, but there was an underlined worry for Aki and Torax if they even made it to the same place as they did.

Well, since they were going to be camping out for the foreseeable future, the class elected to put back on their hero costumes because, unlike in their world where animals were not very threatening to heroes, here where the animals were all super-powered and strong themselves, they offered a strange difference, even though for the most part they have only seen Flabebe and Mitsuhoney with the occasional Eneco and Subomie with even the occasional Ralt, which weren't too threatening, and even some of them were playful and came up to investigate them, and some of their numbers that weren't the brains of the group stuck to that tooccupy their time while the leaders of the group hashed out their next steps.

Iida,Todoroki, Momo, Midoriya, Bakugo, and Iida were each discussing what would be the best place to go visit—someplace that wouldn't draw too much attention to themselves, has a freshwater source that they could drink from, and potentially work for them to do. Aquacorde Town seemed the best place as any for them to stay, and they could also fish for their food while there, even though the awkwardness of eating Pokémon was going to take some time to get used to. Midoriya wanted to take a moment before they headed out to talk to his vestiges, thinking about their home world and what was transpiring now that they still weren't back. This brought the atmosphere down once more as that point sunk into the class about the danger of what was happening back home with all for one.

The heroes were in a good position with all might back with rewind, but having thought that Midoriya was shocked to see within the vestige realm that all might lack the signifying horn that belonged to Eri's quirk. Instead, he was back into his normal state, and he asked the vestiges if anything was happening. What happened to the horn? The vestiges had no idea what he was talking about, which surprised him as he probed for more details on what they did and didn't know about what happened.

As Midoriya was consulting with the vestiges, Sero had his own mental message as he got a telepathic message from Saren. His glowing red eyes highlighted the spell's effect on him; the others immediately noticed and were confused about how it was still possible. With the spirit inhabiting another body at the time, Sero was quick to hush them as he attempted to pay attention to the message.

Sero This is a one-way message due to the distance between us, so I will make this brief. Be sure to remember because I won't be sending another for some time. I and a collective of monsters have been summoned to this place: Aki, Torax, Volten, Eyesight, Brut, Lord Great White, and myself. We don't know if the others who traveled with us have joined on the planet. I will be searching for them, but it will take some time—10 days to be exact. Over a third of us aren't present, which includes Jackie. We are currently located at-

Young Visitors, in your hearts I can sense your righteousness and good nature. Even though you all must be incredibly confused about what's happening, I do want to request that you all protect three individuals in this region. You have no reason to trust me, but for the sake of the entire world, they must be protected. Their names are Ash Ketchum, Elliot Whitlock, and Xerxes Ruben. I can tell by your nature that you will make the right choice.

All of the class stopped and looked at one another about the booming unfamiliar voice that rung out in each of their heads. Eyes drifted to Sero, and questions were raised if that was Saren or not, and Sero quickly dismissed that he was getting a message from Saren before he too was interrupted by that strange voice. Now the class had to decide what they were going to do if they would follow this ominous voice. Some remarked that the last ominous voice in their heads was a bad guy, but this voice wasn't god from before, and its mission seemed to be a positive one, although some argued that it could be reverse psychology and that they would be protecting bad people instead, although if they hung around them then they wouldn't be able to do bad things in the first place.

The group pushed that argument to the back of their minds while Sero began to tell them what Saren had informed him of before the ghost was cut off by the other guy. Koda was relieved that Aki and Torax were safe; however, due to the interruption, they didn't know where they were or if they were even in the same region, although they would likely find out in 10 days when he got back to them. Midoriya was about to take the opportunity to tell them what he found out, but his danger sense flared once more as he turned back to the large wall of the city. The sounds of alarms blared even from this distance; they could hear it. Almost instinctually, the class had all gotten up and prepared for action. Shoji reacted first, using his Buddha awakening to craft massive hands from the trees that picked them all up and placed them on the top of the wall.

Toru was next using her light enhancement: a telescope to hence the vision of the whole class to get greater vision down below. Jiro could hear the loudspeakers; there was something called a "Garchomp" on the loose. Having spotted the Pokémon , they realized the voice was talking about a Gaburias, and as the laser blasted across the rooftops blasting them to smithereens before something similar happened down a street block a further bit away, Jiro remarked that the Gaburias was making its way to the prism tower, which they guessed was the large tower in the center.

Going off information that they had about the creature from the game that it was weak to ice, they elected Todoroki to be the one that would help to take care of the problem while the others would help out with the wounded down below. They were technically not allowed to be inside, but as heroes, they weren't just going to turn away from people who needed help, and with that out of the way, they were off Todoroki charging forwards, gliding on ice, while the class broke out into groups into the damage areas.

A few hours previously

Ash continued to rush his way towards Sycamore's lab, making it there alongside Bonnie Clemont being left behind somewhere else. They busted into a large room with a stairwell upstairs. Ash yelled out a cry for help in hopes that someone would come in and help him out, which someone did. A man in a lab coat had walked out; he had blue eyes and stylish black hair. He came into the room from an adjacent hallway with a heavy sigh as he had almost been woken up from a nap. The man noticed the injured froakie in his hands and quickly called upon his assistant to come to take the pokemon from him towards the back. The group hurried along with the assistant, where they were gestured to wait behind a large glass window not allowed inside the operating room. Froakie was stuffed inside of a machine where four beams of light orange light seemed to rake up and down the pokemon's body, slowly healing its injuries.

The professor remarked that it would take some time for the healing to complete, so in the meantime they should take a seat. He even offered Pikachu a potion for its injuries, which Ash gladly thanked the professor for. Another assistant, this one named Sina, came in with some tea and placed it down for their guest, which all of them thanked them for as the group sat and waited for the healing process to finish. The group introduced themselves to the professor and told him about what had happened to froakie and how it ended up hurting.

Ash inquired about the Pokémon and if it had snuck out of the lab, and Sycamore informed him that the Pokémon was someone elses, although the trainer had recently called that he didn't want it anymore, which earned a gasp of shock from the trio. Sycamore explained that this was not unusual for this specific froakie as it had a long list of occurrences of this happening not listening to its trainer or simply running away from them entirely, which it did now. Clemont suggested that then maybe this froakie simply didn't want to participate in Pokémon battles in that case, which the professor would agree with if the froakie itself didn't spend most of its spare time training instead of playing around with the other Pokémon .

The mention of other Pokémon got Bonnie's attention immediately, but they were distracted by the sound of a Garchomp. The large Pokémon was even taller than Sycamore himself; however, it had entered the room incredibly quietly, or they were too consumed by their conversation to notice the large mon enter the room. The group went over to the pokemon, which was pressed against the glass, looking at the small mon inside. It turned around when Sycamore mentioned it. Garhcamp was his pokemon; he's had it for some time, so it's rather friendly and sort of a big sibling to all the pokemon in the lab, so it was especially mindful of one of them being hurt or feeling down. The tiro awwed at the description, and Ash went up to pet the garchomp on the head. This was followed by Bonnie, but she had asked the professor to be able to do so beforehand, which her brother silently smiled at for learning so quickly the professor allowed it, even picking her up to allow her to rub the garchomp on the head.

She also inquired about the other Pokémon in the lab and if she could go meet them, and the professor said that she could, which got the girl super excited in doing so and wiggling around in his grasp. The professor laughed at the playful energy as he carried her away. followed by her brother, but as Ash didn't follow, the boy looked back and asked if he was coming. Ash responded that he would catch up in a moment as he looked towards the glass once more, understanding Clemont continued on his way with the professor and his sister.

Ash took a moment to ask if he could be let inside, and the assistant agreed as everything was in place. Even once inside, froakie was inside of a glass cylinder, but its eyes were open, showing that it was awake. He once more thanked froakie for saving him and Pikachu, and he also remarked that he too had his fair share of hard-headed pokemon, and the trainers that didn't stick with him weren't determined enough, and that he would be happy to have a pokemon like him on his team. The mon could only manage a half-hearted half speach before its eyes closed once more, and Ash took that moment to take his leave and join the others.

As Ash stepped into the garden room, he could already see plenty of Pokémon running around in the makeshift garden, which even featured a rather large lake in the center for water Pokémon to play around in. Pikachu went over to play with the other Pokémon , while Ash went over by Clemont and Sycamore. Ash was curious about what the man researched here, and Sycamore remarked that he specialized in mega evolution; this was a further evolution even beyond that of traditional evolution. The only current method of how mega evolution is triggered is by a stone and the bond between trainer and pokemon, but so far only a select few pokemon have been capable of it, including that of Garchomp. Ash asked if Pikachu could mega evolve, but the professor remarked that it was unlikely. All of the mega evolutions they found so far only come from final evolution pokemon, not intermediate stages, which Ash was somewhat bummed about but recovered quickly as Pikachu gave a reinsuring squeak and grabbed his leg.

Unbeknownst to them, on top of the green room they had been being watched and eavesdropped on by none other than Team Rocket, who, upon hearing about Mega Evolution, devised a plan to capture the research center. The group disguised themselves as research scientists and walked into the lab claiming to want to join in the research about mega evolution. Two of the assistants and Garchomp came out to greet them; however, one of them was going to get the professor, which would spell problems, so they were about to see if they could prevent that from happening, but the sudden appearance of a froakie hopping down the hall put that on hold. This froakie pointed at them in an accusatory way, and the garchomp responded almost immediately, taking up a more defensive position in front of the assistant.

James attempted to use his tech cube on the larger Pokémon , but the Pokémon was able to easily cut the machine in half before making progress. However, as it did so, a burst of smoke suddenly emerged through the device, concealing their vision. Garchomp used its massive wings to quickly clear the smoke, but by the time it did, the assistant that was behind him was captured by Jesse and held hostage, forcing Garchomp to stand down, which James used as an opportunity to cage the large mon. With electricity sparked from the device, it attempted to control the pokemon. James tapped on a holographic device in an attempt to make it obey his command, but the Pokémon resisted the collar's effects as it stumbled around and howled in agony. Froakie jumped and tried to remove the collar, but it was blasted backward by the overcharge.

The Garchomp continued to howl in pain before slicing out quickly with one of its wings sending a slice of air that narrowly missed the duo rocket members and bit deeply into the room around them, leaving a gash in the wall. The garchomp smacked around the room, running into a bookcase and an open circuit that fried feedback into the color, turning the blue electricity red instead. The garchomp somewhat got a better hold of itself, but the anger and pain were still present. The doctor had returned with the twerp, and the other two, who at this point team rocketed, decided to forgo their disguises and reveal themselves fully to the group.

The garchomp, however, was still failing to listen to Jame's commands. As he typed on the machine once more, another shout of pain was heard from the garchomp before it fired off a hyper beam. This deadly blast of energy came directly for Team Rocket, but Wobbuffet was their using a mirror coat to counter the strike, sending it back with double power, but was ordered to aim high towards the ceiling by Jesse. The already dangerous blast with double damage caused it to spike high into the air with incredible power, punching a giant hole in the ceiling, causing it to begin to collapse on top of everyone. Team Rocket used that as an opportunity to escape the mess, exiting out the door and beginning to run away.

Garchomp leaped out of the building as well, almost like it was after them, but crashed into the building across the street instead clutching at its throat and letting off a pained howl the entire time. The group inside was still concerned about the falling debris when suddenly it began to slow down to a trickle as it suddenly stopped. Sycamore looked to the top of the steps to see his other assistant Dexio at the top of the stairway with his espeon, who glowed a sharp blue using psychic on the roof, partly keeping it aloft. Sycamore began to give orders as he asked both of his assistants to get out of the building and to attempt to help espeon delay the collapse of the roof as much as possible.

Ash remarked that he would go after Garchomp in the professor's stead to ensure that it wouldn't get hurt. Clemont decided to join Ash in his venture as well, chasing the boy out into the street where the out-of-control Garchomp was already stirring up problems as the warning sirens of the city began to blare. Ash didn't realize between all the commotion until he saw froakie running alongside them give a croak of support that he was going to join them as well in helping its friend, which Ash wouldn't say no to.

The garchomp flew fast, shattering windows with its sheer speed. The color-electing random shots of pain caused it to fumble and trip occasionally, forcing it down before it would take off once more. Once more, it unleashed a random hyper beam into the streets below, blowing up a section of the road and forcing bystanders to jump away as it carved its way downwards. Those with pokemon used them to protect people who couldn't dodge out of the way in time. It continued to fly away, heading directly for Prism Tower, where it slammed head-first into the tower, digging into it with its clawed wings as it slid down and adjusted on one of its platforms.

Helicopters immediately began to scramble in the direction of the tower as multiple hyperbeams continued to shoot out from its' direction, blowing up an entire city block and even blowing out a portion of the Lumiose city wall. The helicopters got closer in on the action to ensure they got the best shot possible on the conflict but also to get the mon's attention as the creature immediately targeted one of the choppers and fired off another hyper beam directly at it, but a wall of film suddenly came out of its side, glowing a faint rainbow color as an Mr. Mine inside of the new choppers used mirror coat to deflect the beam away into the horizon where it couldn't do any more damage.

Vaniville town

Grace and her twin daughters were looking at the news with baited breaths as they looked on at the vissage on screen. A rampaging Pokémon was never good, but a rampaging Garchomp was another problem altogether, given the sheer power that the Pokémon possessed, which it was showing off to full effect as it was using hyper beam after hyper beam. The chopper had gotten a full-on front view of the deadly blast as it was deflected away.

There was a new partial surprise on the screen when a kid had appeared on top of the tower as well. Grave believed this may have been the Pokémon trainer, but all Serena could feel was a strange familiarity when looking at the boy. Y thought that the situation was the perfect opportunity for some sky trainers; however, there was none situated near Lumiose City to support, meaning that the police or the rangers would need to progress on land to get to the out-of-control Pokémon , which could prove troublesome. However, something even more shocking happened that turned things on their heels once more and started making everyone in the room question the legitimacy of this broadcast.

Next Door

Just as they were beginning to settle down for dinner and everything had been going great for Elliot, a shocking news report sent chills down his spine not only due to the inherent danger of what was being displayed on the screen but also what that meant for his chance of leaving on his journey tomorrow. Luckily, his mother was there to dissuade such harsh thinking, so instead his father had him focus completely on the screen to highlight a prime example of the danger Pokémon can cause if not properly trained or looked after. So much could go wrong in just an instant, not only for himself but the people around you as well.

When the Pokémon 's supposed trainer showed up on the news also on top of the tower, his dad remarked that what the boy was doing was foolish as he could be hurt or worse and he should leave it to the professionals as the situation obviously spiraled out of his control. Not only was he making himself unsafe but also making the situation even worse by being present, as now the proper authorities will have to think about his actions along with the Pokémon . His mom was more lientant on the boy, believing that he likely didn't want his Pokémon to be hurt when the proper authorities went to subdue it and that if he could calm it down, it would prevent more damage from happening than a battle against multiple other Pokémon on top of a land monument.

His father reluctantly agreed; however, when something so unexpected happened, his body seemed to relax completely, and part of Elliot did as well. The impossible seemed to happen, and it looked like no one was in any real danger after all.

Lumiose City

Ash had finally made it to the base of Prism Tower, the police hadn't managed to corner off the area so he wanted to attempt to get up there along with garchomp even though Clemont remarked that it was dangerous he knew that, the longer Garchomp went on the higher chances the aftermath of it could worsen, so spurred by his determination Clemont showed him a way inside and to get to the top of the tower, using his ambi arm from his backpack it was his invention a purple arm in the shape of ambipom hands, the invention intrigued Ash but he couldn't spend to much time on it as he rushed up the stairwell just as he rushed inside the back entrance however a hyper beam struck home immediately in their path, Clemont grabbed his sister and huddled up as the shockwave sent them scurrying back off their feet, surprisingly they were ok as Clemont looked up to see that the chomp was no surrounded by four different light screens which reduced its special attack significantly.

As he looked down, however, it became apparent that he wouldn't be able to get in the same way as Ash without digging through all the dirt and debris. First, he told Ash to continue without them as he weighed the options he thought about getting his sister to safety, but when he told her to leave, the girl defied him, wanting to stay by his side, which only resulted in the two shouting at each other until multiple more eruptions took place near the top of the tower. This broke up their argument, and the two worked together to move the debris from the doorway.

Ash made it to the first access point that would get him to one of the roofs of the building. Upon looking around, he quickly spotted the Garchomp behind him. He made his way and got a proper footing before calling out to the Pokémon , but upon getting its attention, he was met with nothing but aggression as it turned around and was about to charge another attack. A large flash of light from behind him spared him from the attack as it caused the Pokémon to miss its mark. The beam hit the side of the building, and the resulting shockwave still slammed him and his mon into the side of it, making him grunt in pain for a moment. There was a loud (Nobel) roar that had overtaken his ears next. However, it seemed to be directed at Garchomp rather than him.

The garchomp shook its head from the noise but didn't turn to attack him again instead flying higher on another platform just above. Ash took a glance around, finding another later that would take him higher onto the same platform that the mon just flew to, so he quickly began to climb up and was once more face-to-face with the garchomp, again dedicated to getting it under control safely, but just as he reached the top of the latter, the garchomp fired off another hyper beam, but from out of nowhere something blocked it, something cold. Ash was shocked to see what it was, as it was a person who had shielded him from the blast.

He wore a blue uniform and held a scar on his face, but what was shocking was how he was floating in mid-air, almost like he was being propelled with flames on half his body and sliding on makeshift ice with the rest. He landed in front of him and asked what the situation was. Ash quickly composed himself and explained that it was the collar they needed to get it off it and it should calm down. Ash also expressed how he didn't want to hurt Garchomp to do it.

The teen seemed to only nod in his reply, and all of a sudden Ash felt the air around him get colder, almost like a Pokémon . A wave of ice came from out of nowhere as the boy stomped his foot on the ground, heaven-piercing ice wall. The monolith of ice stampeded forwards at a blinding place, completely ensuring Garchomp whole stopped its body in its tracks and the excessive cold caused the collar to freeze and fall off to the ground.

Ash was completely shocked by the display before forgetting that wanting to go check up on Garchomp and see if it was ok as its eyes finally returned to their regular color from the red of the collar, he had to step around the teen to make his way through; however, as he stepped around, a part of the floor completely fell from under, making him begin to fall towards the ground. Pikachu and froakie along with him as well, Todoroki thought quickly, using his ice to create a makeshift slide from the top of the towers to the bottom, catching the three inside of it and allowing them to slide down safely.

After confirming they were safe, he went over to the garchomp, dethawing it from its icy prison and catching it as it fell forwards onto him. He was surprised by how light the Pokémon was as he huffed it over his shoulder and swapped into his phosphorus-red state, allowing flames to expunge out of both of his legs as he gently began to glide down. On his way, he encountered two more people waving at him on the roof before the boy pointed and warned of something coming behind him. Todoroki spunt around quick and saw the threat approaching as he thrust a fist forward, belching a stream of flames that pushed the attacker away.

Todoroki kept his eyes on the mon as it went down, but it recovered before it hit the ground, landing on its feet with a thud. Todoroki stepped foot on the platform, switched to his normal state, and created another slide for the two of them to get down, handing off garchomp to the two of them before switching back into red and continuing downwards straight at the new arrival, but as he approached, he noticed that the pokemon, what seemed to be a Mega Bursyamo, put both its hands up in mock surrender, allowing Todoroki to stand down at least for the moment.

The Pokémon nodded at him, and before flying off towards the rooftop on the top there was a man, dressed in red and wearing a red mask. He was informed by a man, a doctor or professor, by the looks of him that the Pokémon was just trying to help out, and that person was Blaziken Mask, a sort of hometown hero of Lumiose City, although the attention was more focused on him instead of the hero at the moment as everyone was amazed at the giant ice slides that decorated the sides of the tower created by what seemingly was a person instead of a pokemon.

Down the second slide came Garchomp, Clemont, and Bonnie; the older boy was ironically the more shaken up of the trio, but after catching their breath, the group ran over to join Ash, Sycamore, and their strange savior. Todoroki used the opportunity to melt the ice that he had made; he could hear the multitude of cameras and murmurs of people on him as he did so. Although something did pique his interest, as he was done, he turned to the group who approached him once more, thanking him for his help and asking who he was and how he did what he did.

He decided to answer honestly about his name, which he offered was Todoroki, but telling them about quirks would just lead to more confusion. Instead, he focused on the member that they had called Ash from earlier; he questioned if his name was Ash Kattchem, and once the boy confirmed that he was, Todoroki took out his phone and asked if he could snap a picture of the boy. Despite the awkwardness of the situation, Ash agreed as it was the least he could do for the help he gave him.

Todoroki took the picture, and then with that done, he bid the group farewell as he flew away in a burst of flames from his hands and legs while the others watched in awe of the spectacle. Todoroki quickly met up with the class as they too were finishing up on the rescue operations, drawing a lot of attention themselves by the looks of all the cameras, and even a news helicopter headed their way. Todoroki also noticed that blaziken mask's blaziken had been following him along his journey, although it's kept its distance to not seem threatening. The person likely didn't trust him completely.

The group didn't stick around incredibly long, only enough time for Uraraka to set up her gravitic attraction with the main target being Midoriya, who cranked up one for all to 100% full cowling and dashed away, and within the blink of an eye, the entire ensemble of 20 disappeared from everyone's sight, leaving the mystery group of strange individuals a mystery to all for the whole night. Ash, Bonnie, Clemont, and Sycamore had all been brought in by Officer Jenny to give a statement on what had happened that day, but all the questions surrounding the strange teens were still a mystery for all of them involved. They released the group, and Sycamore, for all their help, allowed them a place to stay for the night.

Santalune Forest

The class used Todoroki's flash freeze heat wave combined with Midoriya's Detroit Smash airforce, believing that while they would kick up a massive wind in the area, they wouldn't cause much of a disturbance if instead they relied on Bakugo's explosions to do so. They gently lowered themselves down into the forest, hopefully unnoticed by those who may have been around. As their feet touched the ground, Uraraka released them from her bind, and the class all stretched out once more. Momo went to inspect if Todoroki was doing fine; he answered that he was and thanked the girl for her concern with a small smile. Iida interrupted the two moments by asking about the Pokémon on a rampage and the Pokémon that had attacked him.

Todoroki explained that he didn't get too many details due to the rush, but the "garchomp" had been misbehaving due to what seemed to be a shock collar placed around its neck. The second Pokémon that had seemed to be after him was called a "blaziken" by a hero of the city that referred to itself as a blaziken mask. This got the class's attention as they were curious if there was a heroes in this world as well, but Todoroki put a hamper on those thoughts as he remarked that it seemed more like a local vigilante than something standard for a town or city.

He also explained that the kid that was up there with the Gaburias was one of the people that the voice told them about, Ash Ketchum had as he showed everyone a picture of the kid in question, which once again brought up the discussion of what they should do about them. Todoroki remarked that he seemed like a good person wanting to save the Gaburias without hurting them, and they didn't have much else to do, so there was no harm in keeping an eye on him. With that in agreement, Momo scanned the image of the person with her visor and uploaded it to the drone that had still been hovering over the city, which would keep an eye on the target for them.

The group started all settle down and cracked open one of Pig God's high-density meals to share amongst themselves, having Todoroki use his fire and ice to create water and heat the meals as they settled down. There was another big upspring of emotion as Midoriya informed them all that there may be a chance that concerning their home they had gone back in time or more precisely they were going under time diolation. It was still speculation based on his vestige's memories and what they can recall from all might, but he still wanted to let them know so they didn't have to worry anymore about back home and allow them to enjoy the time in this world to the fullest with a peace of mind.

Ending notes: This will be mostly discussing power scaling stuff so most people can just ignore this and see you all on the 15th for chapter 2, for everyone else. I'm gonna make this brief by just giving a tier list for the scale but first some ground rules.

No scaling chains from acreus, creation trio, or Necrozma

Order of evaluating their scale: actual feats, Pokedex entries, animal similarity if no feats are given in the pokedex(think Bouffalant and Tauros), wild Pokémon encounters, stats, then trainer battles

This scale is mainly for WILD Pokémon only, trained pokemon are stronger than their wild counterparts but only really gym leaders, E4, and champions make them jump up 1 or 2 tiers from their base level.

Powerscale: (PS. Yes this are mostly all of the Legendaries that will be in this story, this is based off everything ive seen from XY era and some before it but this is what I've coem up with.)
