Gilda was just one of the Griffins who was curious when they heard the noises in the forest. The whole of Griffinstone could hear them and they were incredibly loud. Of course with nothing better to do and no one buying her Griffin Scones she decided to go check it out. It also meant she got to get out of that town of hers for a little bit.
Now she was in the forest on the hill ready to check whatever was causing the noises out. She was also seeing some really weird animals on that walk that she had never seen before. There were some birds flying around with shiny skin that looked like metal, some small really hairy monkeys that all had angry looks on their faces. The weirdest thing though was the two- headed kiwis. Those definitely took the cake for the lone griffin. At least until she saw the huge stone Goliath and the small dragon fighting. She hid behind some bushes so they wouldn't notice her, but she didn't hear grunts or roars, but words she hadn't heard before, and they kept saying those words over and over again.
"Maybe it's some kind of weird language." Gilda thought.
"I suppose that’s not a bad way of looking at it" Gilda's eyes widened as she was lifted out of the bush.
"Who are you and what do you want?" Gilda immediately readied her talons in defence.
"Well I could ask you the same thing considering you were the one spying on us." It grinned. "And while you're at it you can tell us where we are and what YOU are; I don't believe I've ever seen a Pokemon quite like yourself." He floated around her, analysing her.
"A Poke- what?"
"Thou art wasting time Light. Just read its mind and be done with it so we may find Master."
"Patience, Guardian." He tutted.
"I can read minds, and make it hurt so I wouldn't try lying if I were you." It warned.
"You're in Griffinstone." She said warily.
"Very well." The Squid- thing nodded. "Now what-"
"Hold on." Gilda interrupted. "Why don't YOU tell ME something about you two." She pointed at both of them. "I don't know anything about either of you so why should I be the one answering the questions. Let's start with telling me who and what you are." The question was mainly directed at the floating squid, since she knew what a golem was.
"Alright." Light sighed. "My name is Light, and I'm a Malamar. Guardian over there is a Golurk and the Zangoose is Slash." Gilda hadn't heard of either of those things so she just went with it.
"I'm a griffin." Light cocked his head to the right in confusion.
"I've never heard of a Pokemon called a griffin. Is it possible that you're not a Pokemon?"
"Well I don't know what that is so sure, whatever."
"But if you are not a Pokemon then what are you? Are you an alien from the moon like the Clefairy?!"
"She's not a Clefairy Light."
"Who's this Master he keeps talking about?"
"It's who we're looking for." Light exclaimed. "He is our trainer but Guardian insists on calling him master."
"TIS BECAUSE HE IS MY MASTER, AND IF THOU ART GOING TO WASTE TIME TALKING TO AN ALIEN THEN I WILL CONTINUE THE SEARCH ON MY OWN." Guardian began to call shout.
"HELLO? WHERE ART THOU MASTER?"
Ryan ran as fast as he could. What he heard was definitely Guardian and he was close. Though it was difficult to run in the extremely baggy trousers he was put in. He would have to find a belt for that later. For now he would just hold his trousers up and ran towards where he heard Guardian. Ryan looked up and saw his huge body poking out of the trees.
"Guardian!"
"MASTER?"
"Hold on, I'm almost there, and don't call me master." He got past some trees and saw Guardian, Light and some other weird Pokemon that he didn't know. "The hell is that?" He asked when he saw the unknown thing.
"OH, TIS JUST A SCRAFTY." Guardian's comment made Ryan confused.
"What? Just because I look a little weird right now doesn't mean I'm a Scrafty."
"He knew your name though Guardian, maybe he knows what happened to Ryan."
"Uuh hello? I AM Ryan, what the hell is wrong with you two? By the way have both of you gotten taller?"
"Sir, I do not know what delusions you are suffering, but you need to look at yourself." He pointed to a puddle nearby.
"Light, right now how I look is the least..." He saw himself. Round face, orange scaley skin, large mouth; everything he didn't have a couple of minutes ago. His eyes widened, he began to hyperventilate.
"This has to be a dream." Of course, that made sense. He had passed out from being so angry about not finally finding Xerneas, and is now dreaming. He just had to wake himself up quickly, he could be in the hands Team Flare for all he knew, since their base was what he remembered last. He looked around for something to hit himself with. He saw a large tree, walked towards it and promptly hit his hand as hard as he could on the tree, only to clench his hand a moment later.
"Okay, not dreaming."
"MAY WE CONTINUE OUR SEARCH FOR MASTER NOW?" Guardian was growing impatient.
"I AM your master, and don't call me master!" Light looked at him with intrigue.
"Could it really be you?" Light was skeptical, but he knew his trainer, and his was definitely how his trainer acted, ad given that they were in a unknown place with an unknown being. "How did you catch me?"
"Light, I found you as an Inkay getting tormented by a swarm of Beedrill and Pinsir. It made you want to get stronger, and also made you hate bug- types." It was true, he was always tense around bug- types, partly because of that, another part because of his huge weakness to them due to his typing. It was a week before he went near Venom.
"I... don't believe it. It really is you." Light was shocked. How was this even possible? He didn't know a thing about what was happening.
"Can it truly be? Master hath really turned into a Scrafty?"
"I apparently have, and don't call me master. Seriously, what do I always tell you?"
"I believe thou telleths me not to call thee master."
"Then stop doing it, dammit!"
"I apologise for my insubordination master, it will not happen again."
"Honestly, there's no winning with you sometimes." He rubbed his new head.
"Uuuh..." They all looked behind them to see that thing from before staring at them in confusion.
"What's with her?" Ryan asked.
"She can't understand us." Light explained.
"Well what is she?"
"I don't know, and I know everything." Ryan rolled his eyes. Light often prided himself on his knowledge and never liked not knowing things.
After a bit of a walk they would up in large town near the hillside. While were taken through, they got a lot of odd looks from those "griffins" they went past.
"WHAT?!" Ryan yelled at them and they quickly turned their heads away as Light had been translating everything that they said.
"You know, it'd be best not to yell at them considering they have reason to stare, considering that they've probably never seen anything like us."
"Whatever." Ryan rolled his eyes. "I just don't want them staring at me."
"Will you two shut up? We're nearly there." Gilda scowled at them. A couple of minutes later the reach a white building with a sign indicating that it was some sort of laboratory. Despite Ryan grumbling, they all entered, with Guardian waiting outside since he was too big to go in and essentially barged into one particular room.
"Hey! Knock before you come in and... Gilda, was it?" Speaking to them was a griffon with the head of an incredibly flustered owl and the body of a tiger. "Ugh, my point still stands either way, now what do you need? Are you looking for Greta? I've got the find of a century with me right here and I need to document this!"
"Uuh, what is it?" Gilda asked. "It just looks like an egg; a really big egg."
"Yes, but I've looked through the eggs of all known species that produce them and I have no idea what this is. Selene found it in the forest and I can't figure out what it is. It might be a new species! Do you have any idea how amazing that is for-" He stopped in mid- sentence. "What are those things behind you?" He stared at Ryan and Light, the former of which was staring at the egg.
"Well, I was kinda hoping you knew."
"Well I can't say that I've ever seen anything like these things before. No, a flying squid and a giant lizard in clothes are definitely new to me."
"We're right here you know, you can just talk to us." Light butted in.
"Y- You can talk?" Greenfluff was surprised and a little bit scared.
"Yes, my name is Light and I am a Malamar, that's Slash the Zangoose and this is Ryan and while he is a Scrafty, he used to be human."
"Ummmm... I don't know what a 'Malamar', a 'Sangoose', a 'Craft Tea', or a "Hooman" is." Greenfluff replied.
"Interesting. Do you know what a Pokemon is?" Light inquired.
"...no. Can you... explain it to me?" Greenfluff asked politely.
"Of course I can." Light smiled and clapped his tentacles together."Ryan, can you stand by in case I require your assistance in my explanation?"
"Light?" Ryan questioned. "Doesn't that egg look like-"
"WHERE ARE YOU?!"
"What was that?" Greenfluff asked.
"It sounded like it came from out there." Gilda turned to the window, as did Ryan and Light.
"LET GO OF ME!!" A giant red insect was running through the town, trying to shake off the griffins attempting to subdue it.
"Let's go Light!" Ryan and his Malamar ran out of the building quickly.
"Hey, where are you two going?!" Gilda hurried after them.
When they left the building, the they found that she was still there, with more griffins piling on to her.
"Light, use Psychic to get them off her and pin her to the ground!" He ordered. "And for the love of Arceus, be gentle!" He quickly said when he say the grin on his Pokemons face.
"Fine." Light rolled his eyes which soon became a light blue, and the griffins soon became enveloped in an aura of the same colour and lifted away. The Scolipede looked confused for a moment, but was soon pinned to the ground by the same aura. "What the?" She looked and saw the Pokemon responsible. "Light? First off, let me go before I Megahorn you to the other side of... Wherever we are! Secondly... who's that next to you?"
The Malamar floated a couple of metres back at the mention of the first demand but still held his grip. "This is Ryan."
"Ryan isn't a Scrafty." She gave him a look that said "Are you serious?".
"I became one." Ryan walked up to her. "Don't know how or why, but I am one."
"Comrade Venom, this is indeed our Master!!" Guardian piped up.
"Oh for Arceus's sake, stop calling me that!" He shouted at the Golurk, while Venom stared blankly at him.
"Okay, I believe you."
