Chapter 8-More Allies Found By Invitation.
A couple of days have passed since the GUN's attempt on capturing Lucario, and the poor Pokémon's still edgy from the whole ordeal. Still, he kept his head high knowing that he has friends to help him out as he looked over the ocean on the edge of Angel Island.
Lucario: *Thinking* Although there are many dangers here, I feel strangely at ease. I guess it's with Sonic's friends accepting me and helping me. I wonder, is this how Sonic feels every day of his life? I guess it must be.
Lucario was so deep in his thoughts that he didn't hear Knuckles come up behind him, until the Guardian chuckled behind him.
Knuckles: *Chuckles* I guess you got a lot on your mind, eh Lucario?
Lucario: *Jumps a bit* Oh! Knuckles! I didn't know you were there! I guess I was lost in thought.
Knuckles: What were you thinking about?
Lucario: I was thinking how strangely safe I felt with all the dangers around and how Sonic must feel the same way here all the time.
Knuckles: Well in a way, your right. Sonic does feel the same way here all the time, because the others and I help him out all the time. Also, do you want to know something?
Lucario: What is it?
Knuckles: *Sits down beside Lucario* Sonic is like the wind.
Lucario: Like the wind? What do you mean?
Knuckles: Well, he's a drifter mostly, following the wind wherever it goes and enjoying the freedom. That what helps him feel safe in his own world, I think. As for me, I'm more of a mountain, staying in one place, strong and sturdy. It's because of the duties that have been placed on me as a Guardian. To be honest, I've been a bit jealous of that crazy hedgehog sometimes, with all of his freedom, but he still accepts me as a friend. *Chuckles* He even calls me "Knucklehead" a few times, which can be true most of the time because I can be a bit gullible, but I have smartened up, if you know what I mean.
Lucario: I can see what you mean.
Soon there was a bright flash of light from behind them and when they looked back, they saw what they first was a human woman, was really a graceful woman-like Pokémon with what seemed to be a long, very light lavender dress that's her body, long slender arms of the same colour, a red bump on her chest, short, neck-length olive green hair, and beautiful red eyes. She seemed to have a bag hanging from her shoulder and she spoke with such kindness and grace that Knuckles was lost for words.
Pokemon: Excuse me? Is this Angel Island?
Knuckles: Y-yes i-it i-is.
Pokemon: Oh good! My name is Aurora, the Gardevoir. I'm here to deliver a letter from Light Trainer to you two.
Aurora took out an envelope with a sticker on the flap that looked like three aqua tails on top of a magenta circle that has a yellow star in it. On the front, it said, "To Knuckles and Lucario" in blue-green ink. Knuckles took the letter and opened it in front of him and Lucario. This is what it said in the same blue-green ink:
Dear Knux and Lucario,
I have some friends here I want you to meet! They are Pokémon Trainers like I am and we form a group called the Mobian Trainers, and we want to help you guys in whatever ways we can!
Aurora has a map in her bag you can use to get to my place, and you can bring some friends along if you like. Just a word of warning, some of the group can be a little crazy at times.
Just leave your answer with Aurora and I hope you can come!
Your friend,
Light Trainer
Knuckles and Lucario looked at each other after they read L.T's letter. They both seem to be a bit curious on what was going on and told Aurora that they'll be there with some friends. The woman-like Pokémon was delighted to hear this!
Aurora: Oh that's wonderful! Here. *Takes out the map from her bag and gives it to Lucario* This map was carefully made by Light Trainer to show the way to her castle-
Both: CASTLE?!?
Aurora: Uh, y-yes…*clears throat* and she'll be happy with your message. Good-bye!
She soon disappeared in a flash of light as she did when she arrived, leaving the two boys stunned and even more curious than before.
Later on that day, Knuckles and Lucario, along with Tails, Amy, and Shadow since the others were busy, arrived at the castle. It looked like the one from "Wario Land 2" if there was any comparison but the logo on the front was the same 3-tailed design as on the envelope and the overall castle looked slightly bigger. As they were approaching the front gate, they heard a voice in the air behind them.
???: WOOHHAAAA!!!! HEADS UP!
Before anyone could react, a large, grey, pterodactyl-like creature with huge jaws crashed into the group and right through the front door. The rider was a purple, female hedgehog that seems to have Amy's quill style, a fox's tail, and was wearing Shadow-style shoes, black gloves with red charms and claws sticking out, a green t-shirt, khaki pants, and a black Link-like cap. She soon quickly stood up and the group saw a single fang sticking out of her mouth.
Purple hedgehog: Hi!!!
Light Trainer: *From out of nowhere* DARK DRAYGOON!!! GET YOUR FURRY TAIL UP HERE!!!!
Dark: Awww maaan. Come on, Slayer.
Slayer: Comin'. *Flies off after her*
Shadow: Well that pretty much completes my day.
Knuckles: You're telling me.
Amy: Ow. My head.
Tails: My poor tails.
Lucario: *A little squished* Could you guys please get off me.
All of a sudden, Lucario's wish was granted when the others seem to float off him and set gently on the ground, with the help of an Alakazam. The trainer of this one was a male blue wolf with a white-tipped tail and muzzle, black hair and eyes, and was wearing blue jeans, white shirt, black jacket and shoes with white markings on them, and a red scarf.
Blue wolf: Hey are you guys alright? L.T saw the crash landing and sent me out here to help out.
Tails: Yeah we are now, err…
Blue wolf: Seth, Seth Ryu-Shin. And this is Alakazam, one of my Pokémon.
Alakazam: It's nice to meet you.
Amy: Nice to meet you, too!
Seth: C'mon, the others are waiting.
Seth soon led the others to a door on one side of the courtyard and inside they were introduced to the other Mobian Trainers and their Pokémon. Seth introduced his other Pokémon which were Pidgeot, a large brown-to-beige, bird with a crown of long red and yellow feathers, Kabutops, a brown Pokémon with a wide head and 2 sickle-like claws, Umbreon, a black fox with red eyes and yellow markings, Xatu, and Blaziken, a large red Pokémon that seem bird-like without wings, wide feet that seem more leg, and flames out of its wrists.
Then there was Travis the Coyote, who was a tall white coyote with spiky hair, and was wearing a black shirt, blue jeans, and a dark green large overcoat with Pokéball holders inside. His Pokémon were Flareon, named Embyr, another fox that seem to be made of fire, Arcanine, named Flame, a large, red, dog with black markings, Grovyle, a green lizard with a red front, a forked tail, and leaves out of its wrists and head, Lucario, named Aspiro, and Raichu. Amy noticed that he only had 5 Pokémon, and Seth explained that he befriended another but that one prefers to be on its own.
Then, all of a sudden, the group heard someone humming and both Seth and Travis just shook their heads. The one that was responsible was a dark teal hedgehog with slit-pupil eyes, front quills that seem to bend towards the front, a violet diamond in his forehead, a peach muzzle, and was wearing a red scarf, a purple long-sleeves shirt with a red emoticon on it in a blue square, blue jeans held up with a black belt with a gold buckle, white gloves, and white and gray shoes with orange laces. His Pokémon were Gardevoir, Banette, a dark gray ghost-like doll with a zipper for a mouth, a yellow, spiky tail, and creepy red, slit-pupil eyes, Salamence, a red and blue dragon with short legs, Dragonair, a long, blue, dragon with blue pearls on its tail and under its chin, wings on the side of its head, and a white spike on its forehead, Mismagius, a purple and magenta, ghost-like witch, and Blaziken. He was coming into the room humming with a book in his hand. He stopped when he noticed the guests.
Teal hedgehog: Well, this is different.
Travis: Uh, Noburyuu, L.T invited these guys so we were expecting them.
Noburyuu: Oh…I probably forgot. Well then, welcome. As Travis mentioned, my name is Noburyuu the Hedgehog.
Tails: Uhh…N-nice to meet you.
Noburyuu: By the way, Seth, Travis, if I walk around with a book in my hand and hum, would that make me normal?
Seth: Uh…no comment.
Travis: Same here.
Noburyuu: I see. Well never mind. I'll ask someone else.
After he left, another wolf came over with his Pokémon. Unlike Seth, this one was a black wolf with a gray muzzle, black eyes, and was wearing a red jacket, blue jeans, red gloves and shoes, and went by the name of Psycho. His Pokémon were Absol, named Doom, which looked like a white catlike wolf with short fur on it's head, fluffy white fur around its neck and chest, a black blade coming out from the right side of it's head, black claws, face and sword-like tail, and red eyes, Swampert, named Mud, which looked like a large, blue frog-like fish with large gray fins coming from its head and for a tail, orange spikes on its cheeks and bumps on its legs and arms, and orange eyes, Arcanine, named Flame, Ivysaur, named Ivy, which looked like a blue, 4 legged dinosaur-like toad with darker blue spots, red eyes, 2 fangs from its mouth, and a large pink flower bud with leaves at the bottom, Blaziken, and Hippowdon, named Fluffy for some strange reason, that looked like a large gray with black patches hippo with red eyes and holes in it so it can use sand-based attacks.
Seth: Hey, Psycho.
Psycho: What's up? Was Noburyuu being weird again and are these guys out guests?
Travis: Yes and yes.
Psycho: Heya! The name's Psycho! If you guys are looking for L.T, she's chewing out Dark Draygoon for the bad landing, and if you are looking for T.K, Aaron, and Jynx, they're over at the pillar talking.
Psycho pointed over to were there was a male, tan hedgehog with yellow markings on his hair, arms, legs, tail and chest, sky blue eyes, light tan muzzle, and wearing a black toque, a black muscle shirt with a red collar and diamond pattern in the front, and black pants with red in the middle, a brown belt, one leg zipped off, and the word "Goth" on white letters on the other leg, a yellow-orange, single-tailed fox who's fur was ever so slightly darker than Tails, with black on the end of his tail, black sunglasses, and was wearing red and white shoes, yellow pants, white fingerless gloves, and a green shirt with a Pokéball on it covered with a blue, open jacket, and a female, teal mountain lion with purple bat wings and eyes, blue, long hair and tail fluff, pink inner ears, tan muzzle, an was wearing an orange and white long sleeved shirt, blue jeans, and red shoes with white markings on them. They stopped talking as soon as the fox noticed the group and walked over to introduce themselves and their Pokémon.
Hedgehog: Hey there! My name is Goth T.K, or just T.K and these are my Poké-pals!
His team had Lucario, Torterra, which was a large brown and green tortoise with a tree on its shell, Charizard, named Draygoon, Chatot, which looks like a blue, yellow, and green parrot with a black eighth note for a head, Rhyperior, which looks like a well-armoured, black and gray rhinoceros with a drill-like horn, and Tyranitar.
Fox: Hi! My name is Aaron the Fox and this is my team.
His team had Torterra, Tyranitar, Lucario, Staraptor, which was a large, dark gray and white hawk with black and orange beak and feet, a red tipped crown and red eyes, Cyndaquil, which looks like a dark green and light yellow shrew with red circles on its back that bursts into flames by its will, and Eevee, which looks like a cute brown fox with a collar of tan fur and large black eyes.
Mountain Lion: Hello. My name is Jynx, not the Pokémon mind you, and of course here's mine!
Her Pokémon team had Charmander, named Charm, which was a cute, orange lizard with a flame-tipped tail, Leafeon, which was a fox that seemed to be part plant, Haunter, which was a purple, spiky ghost with separate hands, Tropius, which looked like a cross between a small, brown Brontosaurus and a palm tree with palm leaves at its rear for almost wings, and banana-like fruit under its chin, Gyarados, named Ping, which looked like a large, fierce, blue and yellow sea dragon with wide mouth that seemed to be open all the time, and Lucario.
All of a sudden another group of 5 Pokémon, that T.K says were Dark Draygoon's, came over. They were Empoleon, named Amidatty, which looked like a large, blue penguin with a crown-like beak up its face and around its eyes, Luxray, named Kovu, which looks like a black lion with a long tail that has a yellow star on the end, yellow and blue stripe-like markings on his legs, and a blue muzzle, Scizor, named Kain, that looks like a red mantis with claws that has yellow eye spots to look like extra heads, Feraligatr, named Zuko, which looks like a large, blue alligator with red spines down its back and tail, and Swampert, named Nozomu. They all looked a bit worried and up behind them came a Pikachu, which looks like a yellow mouse with pointed, black-tipped ears, brown stripes on its back, red cheeks, and a lightning bolt tail, and an Absol. Jynx said that they were Sparky and Desastre, L.T's other 2 Pokémon and they were making sure that the others didn't interfere while Dark Draygoon was getting yelled at, which was heard finishing as the two were coming in the room with Slayer, Kicker, Aurora, Kleo, and Chance coming in behind them.
L.T: And furthermore, you watch where you control him, or so help me, you'll be doing all the necessary Pokémon baths, for a MONTH! Understand?
Dark: *In a small voice* Yes ma'am.
L.T: *Sighs and looks towards the others* Sorry about the rough entrance, guys. I'm glad that Seth decided to go outside to check out all the commotion.
Lucario: It's alright, as long as I'm not on the bottom of the pileup again.
Jynx: Hey L.T, why did you invite them over?
Noburyuu: I'm also quite curious.
T.K: Same here!
L.T: Well, to summarize what's been happening, Sonic has been transported to Lucario's world and through this Pokémon we need to communicate to him while the hedgehog, or Pokémon, sleeps if I can find the right spell.
Shadow: Wait a second, what to you mean by "or Pokémon" when you were referring to Sonic?
Aaron: Well I've only heard of this rumor, but there was a record of a human going into that world and she changed into a Pokémon.
Amy: WHAT?!? You mean my Sonic could be a Pokémon by now?!?
Tails: But how can that be possible!?
L.T: I don't really know, to be honest.
Knuckles: You don't know?!?
Psycho: Hey, if the leader doesn't know, she doesn't know ya thickhead!
Knuckles: Who's the thickhead?!
Psycho: You are!
Ivy: *Separates the two with Vine Whip* Knock it off! As far as we know, you BOTH are thickheads!
Lucario: What do you mean about what you said about me?
L.T: What I mean is that since you two switched places, you both have some sort of…connection through your spirits and if I can find the right spell, we'll be able to give Sonic advice on some situations while he is dreaming. Right now he can only see what's going on through your eyes while he sleeps.
Lucario: Hmm…that makes sense.
Travis: Can you find the right spell to do it?
L.T: Can a Beedrill use Poison Sting? I sure can! I've got TONNES of spell books and one of them is bound to have it! Are we ready?!?
Everyone: YEAH!!!!
Lucario: *If we do find that spell, I will soon determine Sonic's destiny and help him out if Xatu hasn't already. I'm ready for this!*
Can Sonic's friends and the Mobian Trainers find that spell? Will it work? And what about Sonic's battle with the Legendary Bird of Thunder, Zapdos? Will he succeed with his current team? All will be answered.
Ending notes:
OMG! I am soooo sorry for not uploading any more chapters here! Life got in the way among other things (Man it's hard being a part-time student!) but I decided to upload for you and I got a LOT of notes here to clear this up!
A long time ago on Sheezyart, I had sort of a contest thing to let my friends and watchers involved with SMD and I managed to get 8 Mobian Trainers for this and future chapters! Plus they also gave me lists/Pokemon Trainer Cards to help with thier teams!
DarkDraygoon is actually my own sister! She's basically dead on the net and the closest to me in age and closeness! (16 months younger)
Travis the Coyote belongs to Kyo Shiomi on SA (aka RakuKyo on DA)
Seth Ryu-Shin (who is actually Seth Colbor) belongs to Silversatan07 on SA (aka SilverSatan08 on DA)
Jynx the Mountain Lion belongs to my cousin Spud133 on DA and yes we are actually cousins. She just live in a different province than me.
Noburyuu belongs to Dusklight on SA.
Psycho the Wolf is his name on SA as well as Goth TK but I haven't heard much of them in the last year at all.
And last but not least, Aaron the Fox belongs to nintendosavi on SA.
Some I still talk to and some are basically dead on the net so I haven't heard much from them so that's it for now!
Also the comparisons of Sonic to the wind Knux made at the beginning, that came from my good habit of reading instruction manuals. (I think I got it from the Sonic Heroes game)
