//------------------------------// // Chapter 8: A new friend for Sunset // Story: The Odyssey of Sunlight Blaze, Crossover Special 2, part 2, Pokemon Quest. // by Justafanfictioner //------------------------------// Sunset was walking with her friends for almost 3 days. They had left the cold regions of Kalos and were in a more warm one. The group was arrived in a charming little town. On the side of Sunlight, he was arrived to Alola since 3 days. He had met with the Professor Kukui and began his Z-Trial around the 4 islands. But returning to Sunset Shimmer, her and her friends were at the Pokemon Center of the little town. “I can’t believe we didn’t saw any Psychic type pokemons in our way, said Sunset. Not a single one...” “What are you looking for, exactly?” asked Clemont. “I am looking for a Pokemon called Beldum, she answered. At his final Evolution, Metagross, he is a serious powerhouse and a very intelligent pokemon.” “Hum, i heard that the Beldums can only be found in Hoeen, said Clemont. But that can just be rumors...” “Oh, i know someone who could probably help get you a Beldum!!” said Bonnie “You are talking of Steven, right? Said Clemont. Hum, He is the Pokemon Champion of Hoenn and have a passions for Beldums and Steel-Type Pokemons. But that will probably take a lot of time finding him, if we find him.” “And even if she indeed get a Beldum, said Bonnie. She still have to get 2 more Pokemons for the League...” At the Distance, a mysterious being was spying them, listening their conversation. “Maybe this is time i give her a hand, thought the being. But for that, i need to get her two friends out of the way...” The mysterious being used his powers to teleport Clemont and Bonnie outside the Pokemon Center, at the surprise of Sunset Shimmer. “Where are we? What happened!!?” Asked Clemont, panicked. “I think we are in a cave, answered Bonnie. Something must have teleported us here!!” “Maybe Mew is the responsible, said Clemont. He can be very mischevious and playfull at times.” “Hum, i don’t think it was him, said Bonnie. There is more than one Psychic pokemon that can teleport someone elsewhere.” “Hum, whatever, we have to find a way out!” said Clemont. Sunset was still at the Pokemon Center. She was about to reprimand Mew, but she is interupted. ”He didn’t do it, said a voice. And before you ask, i am speaking to you by telepathy” “Who are you?” asked Sunset. ”I’ll show you” said the voice. She was teleported in the middle of a mysterious sanctuary. “Where did you bring me?” She asked out loud. She saw a mysterious being appearing in front of her. The being removed his hood and revealed his appearence. ”You are in my sanctuary, he answered. I am Mewtwo, i am a Pokemon made by humans, an artificial Pokemon if you prefer. I was created from the cells of Mew, the Pokemon who follow you since you arrived in this world. Yes, i know you and your brother are not from this world.” Mew left Sunset’s bag and float near Mewtwo. “Created from Mew? Asked Sunset. Like a clone?” “Yes, answered Mewtwo. I was created to be the Ultimate Psychic Pokemon, A fighting, dominating, killing machine at the service of a criminal organization called Team Rocket. But i refused to be their slave, so i destroyed the laboratory where i was «Born» and killed the scientists. I hated human from that day and swore to eradicate them from this world. But someone taught me that not all humans are bad, that the world need to be saved, not destroyed. So, i toned down my violent ways and vowed on protecting pokemons from the bad humans.” “Kinda like me” she said. ”I know, said the Pokemon. I already saw it in your memories. Like me, you made a long way from the evil path. But this is not why i brought you here.” “So, why?” asked Sunset. ”To be honest, i followed you since you arrived in this world, said Mewtwo. I also helped your brother many times during some of his Gym battles.” “You...what?! She said. Why?!” ”I needed to learn more about you two, he answered. Not every human in this world possess a magic, or a special gift. Mew rarely show that much interest to a human, second reason for me to do so. And for what is helping your brother, i just did it by boredom...” Mew stared at him. ”Okay, i did it because he remembered me of Ash Ketchum, he said. Long story. I heard you said that you were looking for Pyschic types pokemons to complete your team.” “Yes, she answered. Do you want to join my team?” “No, said the Pokemon. I will not lower myself to compete in any kind of Pokemon battle tournaments. But i could help you find 3 more Psychic type pokemons to fight for you.” “Really? She asked. How?!” ”Like that” he answered. He teleported Sunset and himself in the middle of the woods. “Where are we?” she asked. “In Unova, answered Mewtwo. In these wood reside a powerful and quite rare Pokemons that will be a nice addition to your team” “What is the name of the Pokemon?” asked Sunset. ”All i can tell you is that this Pokemon is a great singer, said Mewtwo. Now, i’ll let you alone and will come back for you later” Mewtwo disappeared. Sunset started exploring the forest and suddenly heard a beautiful chant coming from the North. She walked in it’s direction to find the source. She arrived a few minutes later in the middle of a green paradise. “Wow, this place his beautiful, she said. The chant i heard come from here, i am sure!” She proceeded to explore the meadows. She asked Gardevoir, Gallade and Alakazam to help her. Alakazam suddenly detected the presence of something not far away from their Positions. Gallade and Gardevoir’s horn started to glow and they also noticed the presence of someone. After a few more minutes of research, Alakazam finally found the source of the singing. It was a short sized pokemon, human-like, with a black dress. The Pokemon was trying to freed himself from Alakazam’s psychic prison. “Release her” said Sunset. Alakazam obeyed and released the Pokemon. Sunset came close to it and presented herself “I am Sunset Shimmer, she said. I heard your beautiful voice and was curious to discover from who it came from. I want you no bad.” She consulted her Pokedex and scanned the Pokemon. “Meloetta, the Melody Pokemon, said the Pokedex. A Psychic/Normal type Mythical Pokemon. Meloetta’s voice is so pure that it can influence the emotions of the humans and other pokemons who hear it. She have inspired many of the most successful and famous songs in the world. Meloetta is a friendly Pokemon that love company, which can put her in dangerous situations” Sunset Shimmer remove from her bag an electric guitar and began to play. She then started to sing with a beautiful voice that made Meloetta captivated, The Pokemon even sang with her after a few minutes. Alakazam, Gardevoir and Gallade were listening to their chant with joy and serenity. Sunset then stopped playing. “You see, i am also a singer, like you, she said. What do you think about me and you becoming friends?” “Melo...Etta!!” said the Pokemon. Mewtwo appeared. ”She said that she would be honored to follow someone with such a passion for the music, he said. Am i right, Meloetta?” The Pokemon agreed with Mewtwo. Sunset showed Meloetta a Super Ball. The Pokemon looked at it for a short moment, then at Sunset. “Don’t worry, she said. I will release you when the moment will come for me to leave this world.” Meloetta touched the Pokeball and let herself get caught. Sunset then took the Pokeball and sent her out. “Now, who is next?” she asked. ”We will now find for a Beldum” answered Mewtwo. The Pokemon teleported her and the others pokemons inside a cave. Mewtwo led them to a place with lot of Beldums, some Metangs and Two Metagross. ”Good luck, said Mewtwo, you will need it!!” He disappeared. Sunset is spotted by one of the Metagross, who gave the alarm to the others. Soon, the two Metagross and all the Metang headed in her direction. Gallade, Gardevoir, Meloetta and Alakazam placed themselves in front of Sunset, ready to defend her at all cost. The Steel type Pokemons were getting closer when a white Metagross appeared in front of the group and stopped them. “Phiew, guess i am here just in time!!” said a man. The man was standing next to the white Metagross. He had Blue-Grey hairs and a fancy outfit. “I present myself, he said. I am Steven Stone, Pokemon Champion of Hoenn and the son of the President of Devon Corp.” “I am Sunset Shimmer, said the girl. Thank you for saving us.” “What are you doing in this cave” asked the man. “I am here because i want a Metagross in my team, she answered. I am preparing for Kalos’ Pokemon League and i need two more Psychic types pokemons to complete my team.” “Hum, yes, he said. Metagross is a Steel and Psychic type Pokemon, very intelligent and sturdy.” “Can you help me get one?” she asked to Steven. “Hum, you seem to be a good trainer, he said. This is a pretty solid team you have here. And i see you have a Keystone. Do you know Metagross can Mega-Evolve?” “I do, she answered. Hum, why is your Metagross not the same color as the other ones?” “This is because he is Shiny, said the Pokemon Champion. And if these ones attacked you, this is because they are wild. You see the bigger Metagross, well, he is a male, while the smaller one is a female.” “And i suppose the rest are their children, said Sunset. They just wanted to protect them...” “If you want a Beldum, i can give you one, he said. But you’ll have to help me looking for a King’s Rock. This is to complete a collection.” “Hum, you are a Rock Collector? Asked Sunset. If only Maud could meet you, she’ll love you. She is passionated of Rocks and even have one as a pet!” “Really? I thought i was the only one, he said. Hum, i mean, i would love to meet her too!” Sunset helped Steven to find the King’s Rock. After a few hours of research, Alakazam found it. “Awesome, Alakazam!! Said Sunset. How did you knew it was a King’s Stone?” “I think i know, answered Steven. Alakazam have a perfect memory, he must have saw a King’s Stone before. Well, like promised, i will give you a Beldum.” Steven looked in his backpack and took out a Pokeball. He opened it and revealed a Beldum. Then, he presented him to Sunset, telling him that she will be her new owner. Steven gave the Pokeball to Sunset. “Take good care of him, he said. Well, do you want me to lead you to the exit?” he asked. “Hum, Sure!” she answered. The two trainers got on Metagross and 10 minutes later, they were out of the cave. Steven said Goodbye to Sunset before leaving. Sunset, her, waited after Mewtwo to bring her back to the Sanctuary. Mewtwo teleported her in his Sanctuary. “You only have one Pokemon to catch, he said. I may know which one would be the perfect addition to your team.” “Who? She asked. You?” ”What? No!! I have this sanctuary to protect” he answered. “But that didn’t prevented you following me and Sunlight for weeks across Kalos, right?” said Sunset. Mewtwo didn’t answered. He knew she was right. “Aren’t you excited at the idea of fighting powerful pokemons? She asked. From what i learned about you in the Pokedex, you live to fight and battle.” Mewtwo stayed silent. She was once again right. “I promise i will release you once the tournament is over, she said. You can trust me, Mewtwo. I never came back on one of my promises.” ”I know you will, said Mewtwo. But i was able to stay hidden from the world for many years. I am considered as a myth, a legend. People forgot about my existence, except for a few. If i decide to participe to this League, the world will know that i exist and will try to hurt me and the Pokemons under my protection.” “I understand, said Sunset. I won’t force you to be in my team. The security of these Pokemons is more important than a stupid Pokemon Tournament” ”Hum, now that i think about it, said Mewtwo, I think i know who would be perfect for your team.” Mewtwo teleported her to a parc situated in the middle of a forest. ”I made a lot of friends across the years, he explained. Oh, there they are!” Two Pokemon, one blue and white and the other, red and white, landed near Sunset and Mewtwo. ”Sunset, i present you Latias and Latios, he said. Latias is the red and white one and Latios, the blue and white one. They are Psychic/Dragon type and can fly very fast. Perfect if you want to travel long distances in a short time.” Latias cuddled against Mewtwo. ”I am happy to see you too, said the pokemon. And you too, Latios. My friend, here, need a strong pokemon in order to fight in a Pokemon League. This is very important for her.” Sunset touched the head of Latias and petted her. Latias enjoyed this and cuddled against her in return. Sunset also petted Latios, who liked it. “I recommend you Latios in your team, said Mewtwo. Of the two, he is the more experienced in what concern battles. He have fought many powerful pokemons and won. But if you took Latias, you will have a solid coverage against male pokemons and she is faster and more agile.” “I will chose Latias, she said. And you are free to go with me, Latios. After all, something tell me that your help will be welcome.” She told to Latias that she will need to catch her with a Pokeball in order to register her for the Tournament, and that she would free her afterward. “I promise i will release you, she said. You can trust me, Latias. And you too, Latios.” “You can trust her, said Mewtwo. If i can, you can too” Latios and Latias both accepted to follow Sunset. She caught Latias in a Pokeball, then, sent her out right after. “Join me at this position in 3 weeks!” said Sunset, before her and Mewtwo disappeared.
