In a hidden location, Megatron laid lifelessly on the ground in his Beast Mode, before he gasped to life as he looked around. He saw the familiar faces of the three members of Team Rocket. He saw that they were in a dark warehouse looking building with barely no light going through. Seeing that he was in beast mode, Megatron had some difficulties getting up. The voice of a man was heard, "Well looks like our friend's awake."
"Did you have a pleasant dream, your Mega-highness?" Jessie asked her face becoming clear to the reactivating Predacon.
"Good ting we found yous after that mountain of those crystals went ka-blewie when the coppers arrived…Didn't want you to wake up in a lab or a cage like some sort of animal." Meowth added, as he hopped on the table Megatron was on.
Megatron calmed down. He then got up and said, "AH, it is good to see you, great members of the Team Rocket organization, I thank you for your timely aid and I shall not keep you."
As he turned to leave, a British accented voice spoke, "Now you wouldn't want me to assume that the leader of the Predacons that I have heard so much about did not have manners, would you?"
Megatron turned to see the image of a middle aged human male, wearing a black suit with a red tie. He had short brown hair and wore black dress shoes. He also had a sinister look on his face. Next to him was a feline creature that seemed to resemble a fully grown version of Meowth. However there was a red jewel on its forehead, instead of a golden charm.
Smiling, Megatron approached, "But of course not, after all I wouldn't want that especially with the obvious leader of the infamous Team Rocket organization."
The man's cruel smirk widened as he said, "You were able to deduce my standing with those three just by just observing. Very clever, for an alien."
"What would the Leader of such an organization want with me? Surely it has nothing else to do with my forces hoping to reach an alliance with your own. Yess…" Megatron gestured, causing the man on the screen to smirk.
"You are indeed as advanced as I've heard, Mr…" The man paused for the Predacon to introduce himself.
Megatron, in a mocking realization said, "Ah, where are my manners? I am Megatron, Leader of the Predacons. Who might you be?"
The man on the screen smiled back as he petted his Pokémon pet and introduced himself, "I am Giovanni, the boss of Team Rocket."
"What, may I ask, brought such an important and intellectual man as yourself to wishing to meet me?" Megatron asked curious. Playing dumb, he continue, "What would the leader of such an organization want with me?"
"Since the dawn of our civilizations, mankind has dreamt of meeting lifeforms from other planets. That is why we've been sending beams into outer space, sending resources into space in forms of space crafts, message pods, and even sending people into deep space." Giovanni paused before continuing, "Lifeforms that are not Pokemon of course. And not only have we finally bridged the gap, but we've also found that you have an energy source that could be useful for our two organizations."
Megatron smiled, catching on what the man was suggesting, as he and Giovanni let out a loud laughter that the three near the screen would be crazy to interrupt.
At the Maximal base, Ash and his friends were sound asleep in their separate rooms. The light peeked through the shades as it hit Ash and his Pikachu, who were sleeping in one bed as Clemont slept in the other. Another room had Serena and Bonnie sleeping together. Unable to stay asleep, Pikachu opened his eyes before checking to see if his friend was still asleep. He heard the sound of feet on the metal floor and turned to the door way where he saw a familiar Liepard tail walking, disappearing from the side. He got up to follow it, unintentionally waking his trainer up.
Rubbing the sleep from his eye, Ash asked, "Pikachu?"
Pikachu was otherwise scampering after what looked to be Cheattor's tail as the young Maximal, unaware of the Pokemon following him said, "Sorry I was late, Big Bot. Just had to make sure everything sensitive and dangerous were locked up before the kids woke up."
"Good thinking, we can't have them misunderstand the appearances of our instruments or accidently firing off one of our weapons…" Optimus said, nodding to Cheator's quick thinking in keeping his new friends safe.
Ratitrap however muttered, "Well maybe we shuld jus keep dem kids outta dis, Ah mean what's the big deal if a few creatures get hit in our battles with de preds? There're billions of dem."
"Because, Rat-face, we're the good guys, we're not supposed to get others involved…" Cheattor said glaring at the smaller Maximals.
Absoltron said, "I can understand Ratitrap's views but I understand little-cat's worries. Its against the security forces code and programming to even think about harming an innocent life form, whether intentional or not."
Kabubot however sneered, "What we should be focusing on is the utter destruction of Megatron and those aligned with him… Before they learn to use their new beast mode's abilities. If they learn how to, then they will destroy us without a second thought."
Optimus looked over, "We still don't know anything about the Pokémon from this planet. But there are many, and each species is unique in its own way..."
"We seem to be able to take on their abilities as well." Rhynox added, remembering some of the things that they did against the Predacons after their previous battle in their Pokémon modes.
"Yes…but of which we know nothing about." Optimus said before noticing Ash's Pikachu listening in on their conversation.
As soon as he approached, Ash came from around the corner with his friends. Optimus Primal asked, "Ash, when we met, you said that you're all Pokémon Trainers, correct?"
"Yeah?" Ash asked, not understanding what they were asking.
"Well, Bonnie's not a trainer yet. She's not yet old enough to be one as of yet." Clemont clarified, causing Bonnie to pout.
This confused the Maximals as Cheattor asked, "Old enough? How old do you gotta be to be one?"
Serena began to explain, "You see when someone reaches the age of ten they're able to become a Pokémon Trainer like Clemont, Ash, and I are."
"But why would you need to ask if we were Pokémon trainers?" Ash asked, not understanding the need to know.
"We have never seen or heard of these Pokémon before and we do not know their full abilities so if it would not be too much trouble could you perhaps help train us to know the full extent of what we are able to do as Pokémon?" Optimus explained.
Ash was about to answer when Clemont asked, "But why, when you are able to transform into your true forms?"
"We only assumed these Poké modes in order to protect us from the long term exposure of the Energon fields." Rhynox told them, "While in these modes our internal repair systems allow faster efficiency as an organic barrier from the energy of Energon."
"Yea and if we're in a pinch like we were last night, den we're gonna need an edge to beat back dose bozos if we knew what the Pokémon can do." Ratitrap told the kids, "Especially if we're gonna trick dem into dinking we're Pokémon too."
That hit the trainer's nerves, as Ash asked, rather hostilely, "You'd make them attack the actual Pokémon?!"
"That's so mean!" Bonnie cried. Dedenne shouted in support.
Ratitrap blinked in confusion, not understanding why they were getting so upset over what he'd call such a good strategy, "wat's got yer undies in a twist?"
"I don't know how it is on your planet, but you can't just make innocent Pokémon take the fall for what you did…" Clemont said, anger rising behind his glasses
"We wouldn't do that, that's just Ratitrap being a jerk." Cheattor assured his friends.
Optimus looked around and said, "While I would agree that it would be a good strategy, I would never allow innocent creatures to be dragged into our war. You have my word."
"Wh-what?! But Optimus…" Ratitrap whined.
Kabubot growled in fury as he spat, "Optimus is correct, vermin. It's a coward's tactic, for there is no honor of using others as a decoy when you can take the battle to the enemy."
"HEY!" Ratitrap shouted before asking, "You call'n me coward, rock face?"
"You are as cowardly as the Poké mode you take…"
"Why you…" Ratitrap snapped pouncing at the Kabutops. They began to fight as some of the trainers tried to stop it, only to see how intensely they were fighting to try to make them back away. Pikachu, had enough and began to gather energy around his body as he launched himself into the air and sent electric shocks at the two Maximals. This attempt to make them stop worked. Both fell to the floor, slightly charred and limbs twitching as they were stunned. Pikachu landed and found some of the others, other than Rhynox, unconscious from his electric shock attacks. Pikachu felt sweat on his brow and rubbed the back of his head sheepishly. Rhynox shook his head groaning, "Oh no."
After some time for recovery and repairs, Optimus began speaking to Kabubot about the location of the Predacon Base and how they had arrived to Kalos when he got the answer to the first question.
They then began to work from the plans that were obviously stolen to both trainers and Maximals. They continued working for some days as there were some trouble with the technology and teaching each other about them.
A couple of days later, Optimus stood before the completed gate and looked to Kabubot, "This is how the Predacons arrived in the Kalos region?"
"Affirmative." Kabubot said, walking forward, "Megatron had Ariadosus and Skorupinok in creating it while stealing the designs for the Pokémon transport system from the nearby scientist laboratories and medical centers that specialize in the health and care of Pokémon. And have altered it to match ancient Decepticon teleportation technology."
"That would make sense…" Clemont said, working on placing the terminal together with his Clemontic gear, "Pokémon Professors in every region have schematics of the Pokémon teleportation system in order to keep contact with trainers while switching the Pokémon that they have with a number of those that the Trainer caught and might need."
"Why is that?" Absotron asked. He was helping Cheattor with the emitters for the gateway's portal.
"A trainer can catch as many Pokémon as they want with their Poké balls. However they can only be allowed to have six Pokémon with them." Clemont explained.
Kabubot scoffed as he was trying to ignore the conversation that was being heard by the others in the room.
"With this we'll be able to help you kids continue with your journey." Rhynox added as he worked on the programming of the warp gate.
"Really?" Ash asked excitedly as his and Pikachu's eyes sparkled with joy, "Transformer Technology's so amazing!"
Optimus let out a hardy chuckle. It was good to have someone that Cheattor could talk to and find friends with. Someone as young as these trainers.
The following day Ash and his friends went outside the base. Clemont began to explain about the Pokémon of their world, "As some of you know, there are different species of Pokémon that you have taken as your alternate forms or Poké modes. The form that Optimus has picked is a Pokémon known as Slaking and it is a Normal-type. One of the eighteen different types of Pokémon in the world."
"Normal? Dat's a little redundant." Ratitrap muttered but Cheattor shushed him. The younger member of the crew wasn't the only one who wanted to learn about the Pokémon on this planet. Even though Rhynox and Optimus read the scientific reports, they weren't against hearing it from someone else's perspective.
"Normal-type Pokémon are able to learn very many different types of attacks not just those specific to the type. There's no restriction to the other types of moves that the Normal-Type Pokémon can learn. There are some Pokémon that are two types at once. Slaking, however, is a full Normal-type Pokémon that likes to sleep around."
"Then what good is it in a battle if it is as lazy as the rodent?" Kabubot asked unimpressed.
Before Clemont could say anything, Ash stepped forward and said, "Slaking may look like it's asleep but that just allows it to save energy so it can defend itself and its friends. I saw one do that when I was in the Hoenn region."
"Hoenn region?"
"Hoenn is one of the many different regions on our planet where trainers usually come to or come from in order to continue their journey." Clemont said picking up for Ash.
"Hoenn is actually where two of my good friends lived while I was on my fourth journey. Their dad's actually a Gym leader who specializes with Normal-type Pokémon, especially Slaking and its pre-evolved forms, Slakoth, and Vigoroth." Ash said.
"A gym leader from Hoenn who uses Slakoth, Vigoroth, and Slaking…" Clemont repeated. He looked thoughtfully before asking, his face in surprise, "Do you mean you know, Norman?"
"Yeah." Ash said, not seeing what the big deal was about that. He remembered exactly how powerful of a trainer Norman and his Pokémon were. But then he remembered another Gym leader that he met before coming to Kalos and said, "But Lenora was strong too."
"Lenora, the Gym Leader/Curator of Nacrene City in Unova?" Clemont asked, stunned even more.
"Yup. I was at Unova before coming to Kalos." Ash said surprising his three Kalos friends.
Serena stared, understanding how Ash could be so confident and strong. Clemont was surprised, but understanding of Ash's insight and quick thinking since their first meeting.
"How many… regions have you been to since you began on your journey?" Optimus asked, curious about this boy even more.
"Umm…Six… Kalos' is my seventh." Ash said, surprising his friends even more. Optimus was impressed. To him, Ash has what it took to be an explorer like him and his crew, though being an intergalactic explorer might be too much for the trainer just yet.
Rhynox chuckled softly. He was thinking the same thing as his leader. Getting himself out of his stupor, Clemont continued, "The other Pokemon Types are as follows, Grass-type like Chespin, Fire-type like Fennekin, Water-type like Frogedier. An Electric-type like Pikachu, Rock-type, Flying-type, Fighting-type, Ground-type, Ice-type, Ghost-type, Psychic-type, Dark-type, Steel-type, Poison-type, Dragon-type, Bug-type. Then there is Fairy-type like Dedenne."
"Wait, wait. Stop…" Ratitrap complained, as he walked forward, "Let me get dis straight, yus tell'n meh dat dere are Ghosts and Dragons and Fairies in this Pokémon ting as well?"
"Uhh… Yea?"
The rodent based transformer couldn't help but fall on his back and laugh his… well lungs out as he said, "Now Ah now you kids are pull'n mah legs! Dere's no such tings as Dragons, Ghosts, Psychics, and Fairies!"
Kabubot however hissed, "Maybe if you spent more time in your training and history records then maybe you'd be more open minded to the possibility, vermin…"
"HEY! Wat you say, Dome-face!" Ratitrap shouted, trying to get off his back and on his feet before realizing he couldn't yet.
Everyone either let out a sigh or shook their heads at the two. Deciding to change the subject Ash said to his friends, "Why don't we show them some of our other Pokémon?"
"That's a great idea." Serena agreed getting her Poké balls out. The Clemont nodded and pulled out his Poké balls too.
Ash retrieved his Poké balls and, throwing them into the air, cried out, "Come on out, everyone!"
"It's time to say hello!" Serena said as she tossed hers into the air as well.
"Chespin, Luxio, Bunnelby! It's time for introductions!" Clemont cried and tossed three Poké balls into the air.
All of the Pokéballs opened and several Pokémon came out. From what Rhynox and Optimus read; there are the three starter Pokémon for new Pokémon trainers to pick when starting in the Kalos Region. Fennekin the Fire-Type, Chespin the Grass-Type, and Froakie the Water-Type.
The other Pokémon in the group, besides Pikachu and Dedenne, were a panda cub with sunglasses, standing on its hind legs with a single leaf in its mouth. A blue and black lion looking creature with a four pointed star at the end of its tail appeared. Another was a bird with humanoid like anatomy with its wings hanging from its back and arms like a cape, the face of this creature looked like an earthling's luchador mask. It struck a macho pose as soon as its body was completely materialized. A slightly big bird was seeing flying as it looked like the colors of amber and cinder rolled into one while its bird like legs landed nearby. There was also a dark blue frog-like Pokémon with a light blue underside. Its eyes had yellow sclera, and it has a white bubble-like scarf. It had dark blue hands and toes, and white circular fingers. This pokemon was Frogadier, the evolved form of Froakie. The Pokémon next to Clemont, Chespin, and Luxio was a brown and ash colored rabbit standing on its hind legs with buck teeth and arms hanging at the side, this must be the Bunnelby the boy in the jumpsuit called out. The last Pokémon near the Frogadier and Pikachu was a small, apendageless creature similar to either an earthling's slug or a pile of goo that had four long feelers on the top of its head. It stared, blinkingly around in surprise, at all these taller and stronger looking Pokémon.
It shook in fear before going to hide behind Ash, who blinked as everyone, Maximal and Pokémon alike, stared, confused at the Pokémon they all had never seen before. Squatting down, Ash petted the gooey Pokémon and said, sympathetically, "That's right, I haven't introduced you all yet."
Standing up Ash said, speaking to his Pokémon, "Everyone this is Goomy, let's all make him feel welcome."
All the Pokémon went to greet their new friend but it froze seeing Dedenne and hid behind Ash again. Absotron then said, "Peculiar… I had read that Dragon types are one of the strongest types of Pokémon of this world… I wonder why Goomy is afraid of little Dedenne?"
All the Pokémon, minus Pikachu, turned when they heard the Absol talking in the human language. The Pokémon that were not used to this all cried out in surprise and shock and hid behind those that weren't afraid of the talking Pokémon. Clemont, though understanding his Pokémon's fears, said to the Maximal, "Dragon types are weak against three other types of Pokémon, One is Ice-Type attacks, another is Fairy-types and the last are other Dragon-types."
Some of the Maximals tried to understand why a dragon-Type would be weak against its own kind. Optimus, however, remembered how Megatron's tail like attack had bounced off him and caused the Predacon leader to fly away almost as if a bomb went off when it was the same amount of strength as a punch.
Serena went to the Pokémon who were either frightened or defensive and said assuring them, "It's okay; they're our new friends. Why don't you come on over and say hi to them?"
The Pokémon glanced at each other, unsure of believing the new strange Pokémon or not. Pikachu, Dedenne, Fennekin and Chespin all came to Serena and began to tell the others that Serena was right and the six Maximals WERE their friends, not an enemy.
One by one the Pokemon began to warm up and started to examine the Maximals. Until they were sure that the Maximals were indeed harmless. Ash had a thought and scanned Optimus' Beast mode, or Poke mode.
"Slaking, the Lazy Pokémon. It is the most slothful Pokémon. However, it can exert horrifying power by releasing pent-up energy once in a while." The Pokédex stated as it caught the attention of the Maximals.
Serena pulled out her Pokédex and scanned Kabubot, never actually having seen one like his Poké mode before.
"Kabutops, the shellfish Pokémon. It is a slim and fast swimmer. It slices its prey with its sharp sickles and drinks their bodily fluids."
Ash then scanned the next Pokémon, finding it awesome that they can scan the Maximals while they are in their Poke modes.
"Absol, the disaster Pokémon. When disasters are detected with its horn, Absol comes down from the mountains as to warn the people."
"Rattata, the mouse Pokémon. Its fangs are long and very sharp. They grow continuously, so it gnaws on hard things to whittle them down."
Ratitrap looked at the Ex-Predacon, before smirking, "See, mud breath. Told you this form's not as useless as yous thought."
"Hmph. Don't attempt to presume that the Rattata's abilities are yours, garbage eater." Kabubot snarled back.
As those two were beginning their usual squabble, Cheattor and Bonnie noticed the security officer's slight grim expression. Approaching Bonnie asked, worried,"Absotron, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, little one. I just did not expect this form's species to have a bad reputation… or bad luck when trying to warn the nearby humans of the approaching danger." Absotron explained as he sat down. Feeling sorry for him, Cheattor approached, "Chill out, Big Cat. I mean my form's got a bad reputation too, but that's not gonna stop me."
"He's absolutely correct, Absotron." Clemont added as he overheard the conversation, "When Optimus and Kabubot were dueling you were able to alert us beforehand and helped save everyone from that battle."
Absotron couldn't help himself but to smile and said, "Thank you for that, Clemont. But as to what Cheattor said, this isn't going to stop me from doing my programming and protecting you all and this planet."
"Alright Maximals, and Pokémon, listen up!" Optimus shouted, gaining everyone's attention.
"We' all are going to divide and train with each trainer to see how to unlock and gain control of these…" The Slaking paused, looking over to Ash, he asked, "What are they called again?"
"Moves." Ash added.
"Right, controlling these moves so they can be effective in battle when not in robot mode." Optimus finished as he looked to the three trainers beside him.
"Alrighty then. Who's going first?"
"Ooo! Ooo! Me, Pick Buzzinator!" The Beedrill buzzed as he was excited. After hearing what his leader and the three members of Team Rocket explained about Pokémon, their moves, and the type advantages.
"NO, Pick me, Megatron! I'll show them my true power!" Skorupinok shouted, wanting to prove himself to his leader again.
"NO! ME! I'm the better choice!" Terrorsaur screeched as he flapped over his two comrades, trying to have Megatron pick only him.
"Hmph! You men are all the same. If it will shut them up quicker then I will battle them. I am very curious as to put these powers of mine to good use." Serviperella hissed as she rose up.
Ariadosa cackled, "It doesn't matter to me, just as long as I gain more data about every attack move and abilities of every Pokémon in this slightly primitive planet."
Megatron looked around. He stated, "Seviperella, Buzzinator! You both will be paired with Jessie and James in this training battle."
"Ooo, goodie!" Buzzinator said, patting his two needle like stinger arms together.
"Finally." Serviperella hissed as she and her no sense comrade made their way to the battlefield.
"Okay, Inkay! Let's get to work!"
"Pumkaboo, I choose to you!"
The two members stated as the two threw their Pokéballs into the air. The two balls opened up and the two Pokémon came out in a flash of white light.
"As the most appropriate one to take charge, I will be the impartial referee of this battle." Megatron announced. He looked to either side of him and said, "Begin when you are both ready."
"Psst! Megatron." Meowth called as he said, "You're supposed to say 'Begin' when you see both sides are ready."
"Oh really? Thank you so very much, Meowth." Megatron stated as he said, "Both side, are you ready?"
"Yes!" the four voices cried out at the same time as Megatron announced, "Begin!"
"Pumkaboo, Shadow Ball!"
"Inkay, Psybeam!"
The two Pokemon began their assault with Inkay sending out a beam of psychic energy from his membrane body as Pumkaboo was gathering dark energy over its mouth before both attacks are sent at the two Predacons.
Cheattor charged in a burst of speed that still amazed Optimus. He watched Cheattor's claws which began to glow as he ran at Ash's Hawlucha and Pikachu. The Maximal leader had to admit that this Pokémon did have a rather… unique personality.
Ash then ordered, "Pikachu, use Agility to dodge! Hawlucha, use this time to get yourself airborne!"
And just as the Beast Wars began at that ravine Pikachu was able to move as fast as Cheattor's beast mode, or Poké mode. The children pleaded them to call it now that they are transforming into Pokémon. Hawlucha obeyed. Hawlucha spread his cape like wings wide and pushed himself high into the air and out of reach. Ratitrap, who was partnered with Cheattor, as ordered by Optiomus, was using all of his leg muscles to make sure he could get at Hawlucha, muttered, "Ah told dem not tue send me… Ah'm useless in dis bod…"
Stopping, Ratitrap ordered, "Ratitrap, Maxi-"
"Ratitrap! I said no transforming!" Optimus shouted, interrupting the rodent of the group before he could finish his command code. Optimus' raised voice interrupted the battle as well, causing Pikachu, Hawlucha, and Cheattor to stop battling as well.
"Aww, but Optimus, how can dis bod be of any use odder than be'n target practice?" Ratitrap whined as he looked to his leader.
Kabubot however sneered, "If you weren't such an opportunistic fool then you would remember that the children stating that all Pokémon have their own Moves as well as an Ability."
"HEY!" Ratitrap cried out in resentment.
Bonnie, resting her chin on her head, muttered, "Oh, here they go again…"
Rhynox, who let Bonnie sit on him sighed, "I'm starting to worry about this… If only they could lay down their differences just long enough to get some training done…"
Ash sighed, slumping forward, "This'll take forever…"
"Pi…{Yeah…}" Pikachu agreed as he mimicked his trainer's actions.
"Hey everyone! Lunch is ready!" Serena called as she came with some assistance of some of the other Pokémon who helped carry bowls Pokémon food, berries. Serena was carrying a basket filled with Poképuffs.
When she got close Serena asked, "Are they arguing again?"
"Unfortunately." Optimus said sighing. He walked over and accepted a bowl brought it close to him and sniffed asking, "What's this?"
"Oh… these are Poképuffs. It's something that the Pokémon like a lot." Serena explained as Optimus kept examining it.
Cheattor heard 'Poképuffs' and approached, "I tried one myself Big Bot and it was delicious."
"What? We're robots not Pokémon. We don't get filled up on organic food." Ratitrap dismissed before looking up, "Tell 'em Optimus."
Ratitrap however found that his leader had begun to take a bite out of one of those puffs. After swallowing it he said, "It's good."
That compliment made Serena smile as she said, passing them around, "Here, have as much as you like."
After passing the Poképuffs around one by one the remaining Maximals tasted one each. They couldn't lie that the treat tasted very good. Even Kabubot couldn't deny it tasted so good. Once everyone sat down and began to eat, Clemont spoke up, "Oh, yes. Optimus You said that you would tell us what you meant when you said that there were humans on another planet. How was that possible when I thought this planet was the only one?"
Optimus paused eating. Sighing, he said, "Before you can know about that, you need to know about our history…"
He then said, turning to the ship, "I would like to show all of your Pokémon about this but-"
"It's okay, Optimus. We understand." Serena stated as she sat down next to her friends.
"Our planet of Cybertron is in a galaxy very far from your planet as well as the other one. It is not like other planets. Imagine how this planet is, but made completely out of metal. It is much more the size of this planet and holds even larger amounts of population. The entire planet is a machine that gives us our much needed life giving Energon, a compound that is used only for anything that is of Cybertronian origins. Some eons later during the last days of the golden age of Cybertron a fierce and brutal civil war erupted between the two factions, The Autobots and the Decepticons. The Deception leader, was a ruthless Tyrant who believed that absolute rule would bring peace. The Autobots leader, was a wise and courageous bot, stood against him as their two armies fought. It wasn't until that the fighting had reached the core of our planet, that our ancestors were forced to flee towards the stars. Feeling that the Autobots were responsible for the shutdown of our planet, which halted the flow of the Energon that we need to survive. The Decepticons chased after them into an ancient Cybertronian technology called a Space bridge, a portal that allowed instant transportation anywhere in the universe. The two ships, while fighting, crashed landed separately and for billions of years they remained in stasis lock, a coma if you will. Their respective ships reactivated them. The battle on the planet that they crashed on, Earth, was long and filled with grief. It wasn't until the war finally ended that peace was restored to both Earth, Cybertron and the galaxy. For the next centuries our ancestors made great strides to prevent another war from starting up again, by creating the Pax Cybertronia and the Predacon Alliance."
"Big mistake if ya ask meh." Ratitrap scoffed, earning swipes by two of the other members of the team. Kabubot growled at the rodent's opinion.
"As you already witnessed, some Maximals are uneasy about the peace that began with our ancient ancestors. The rules were harsh, but there has been peace since the defeat of the Decepticons." Rhynox said approaching.
The children were stunned by this, but Ash, who still hates the thought of war, asked, "I don't understand. Why were they fighting for so long when it was their fighting that caused your planet to shut down?"
Optimus, sighed as he approached, "I wish I knew why they didn't stop. Not many of us were online during the Great War… However some believed that the war was mostly about the control over our fuel, Energon. Others believed that the Leader of the Decepticons' lust for power caused him to want to rule our home planet. Many brave soldiers were lost during the conflict… No one alive knows what ended the war and I do not believe that any Autobot or Decepticons would wish to talk about it. Even after the great upgrade from Autobot and Decepticon to Maximal and Predacon."
"What's an upgrade?" Ash asked, causing some anime falls or jerking.
"An Upgrade is when you add something to a piece of equipment or machinery by either replacing or adding the component to its main circuitry." Clemont explained.
"You'd be correct. you see Transformers like ourselves used to be a different size compared to us now." Rhynox said, intrigued by the high intelligence of the blond boy with the glasses.
Bonnie, placing a finger to her cheek asks, "Just how different?"
"That's a story for another time." Optimus smiled before getting up, "Alright people. Let's get back to training!"
Every one of the Maximals and Pokeians (AN: Yes, the name I made up for the inhabitants of that planet… for now.) got up to get ready for more training. Ash however was confused by the whole thing. Something deep in his mind was bothering him about war in general. Right now he had to concentrate helping train his new friends while also preparing himself for his next gym battle.
(Here's hoping that the training pays off as our heroes have a lot to do if they are to defeat the evil Predacons and just what are both leaders of Team Rocket and the Predacons thinking right now? Stay Tuned as the Journey Continues.)
