More to those Leaks

The Human World. Afternoon.

"Me!" Bursting through the doors of this world's equivalent to Carousel Boutique was Rarity. Specifically, the one who comes from Equestria, appearing as a human. And it was fitting that she would show up here to confront her Human Counterpart, also named Rarity.

"!" Speaking of whom, this Rarity was in the midst of filming a homemade movie which was the cause of Equestria's Rarity bursting through the doors. She was seen having a camera set up as well as three Pokemon in the room. The Pokemon in question were from Sunset Shimmer. Litleo, Volcarona and Fletchinder.

"So..Making movies with my own image but not my own image." Rarity stormed in. "After I showed everyone over at Canterlot High."

"H-Hold on!" Human Rarity held her hands out, fearful of what might come next. "Allow me to explain!

"Now I hear that you're gaining notoriety for what I set up. And it's with Homemade movies too?" Rarity ranted.

"Well, it seemed rather opportunistic if you ask me." Human Rarity muttered before seeing her Equestrian Counterpart glare at her with a rather sharp state, causing her to flinch. Never before has she been so intimidated by herself and never before has Rarity intimidated herself.

"How could you...?" The Equestrian Counterpart would place her hand on her Human Counterpart, making her shudder while Sunset Shimmer was prepared to try and defuse this situation. "Not involve me at all?" Rarity twisted it on her Human Counterpart. In reality, she was not upset at all. This was just another opportunity looking her in the eyes. "How was my acting'?"

"Wonderful, darling!" At the end of the day, she was merely acting. "You had me going there. I suppose I can act so well that I can't even notice."

"How could I be made at this? This way, we can both be movie-makers. We're practically the same entity so the production is instantly elevated!"

"Of course! Two heads are better than one especially if it's the same person~" She nudged her Equestrian Counterpart.

"Geez..." Sunset Shimer scratched her face, feeling a bit overwhelmed by the energy both Raritys were letting off.

"So what are you doing here exactly?" Human Rarity asked.

"Oh, we're just investigating something rather interesting that's recently come up. Apparently, Ash's ancestor has shown up in the modern day and is roaming the world as we speak."

"Say what?!" Sunset Shimmer bellowed that such an answer. "W-What do you mean?! His ancestor!?"

"His very-great grandmother. Looks exactly like him. We're not exactly sure what this implies and what it will do today but so far, everything seems fine." Equestrian Rarity shrugged, making herself comfortable by landing on the couch. "Ash and the others have gone to find those Time Leaks since she came from the past as well."

"I guess we should have paid more attention to those things. They are just floating there, shooting out Alpha Pokemon left and right. But I never considered if a human could pass through it." Sunset pondered as that was something she and the others should have seen coming.

What was stopping a Human from the past from entering the present day? Those Time Leaks dug into the past after all, making them eligible for Humans and Pokemon to pass through. Finding Lena was difficult since the chances of her visiting Equestria were mixed.

If she was seen by any Equestria, by now, someone would have pointed out the fact that she looked a lot like Ash and Lena herself might have taken notice of that. Surely Lena must know she is in the present since she picked out what clothes she wished to wear

"I'd love to make a movie with you right now...But I really have to catch up with my friends in case they find anything." Equestria's Rarity sighed. "How about after that, we focus on PokeStar Studiso together?"

"You mean...I get to come to PokeStar Studios?! Such a massive film-making location?! For me?!" Human Rarity squeed as that hit all the right spots for her heart and mind. Equestria's Rarity took advantage of this in the beginning and it was no surprise that the Human World's Rarity would do the same.

"I could uh...Maybe try asking Red and the others to help." Sunset walked over. "They've been hanging around here a lot, trying to find that Infinity Gateway. That thing's still a mystery though and it keeps moving."

"If you need help with these complicated scenarios, just ask Twilight. Our Twilight, of course." Human Rarity suggested the assistance of Sci-Twi, who was rather intelligent, focusing all her efforts on science. Equestria's Rarity nodded in approval, seeing the benefit to that. Perhaps, Sci-Twi could chime in and solve this issue. That is, if it even was an issue in the first place. Because right now, it was just one big enigma and oddity.


The Time Leaks. Still present here, hovering in the air with no interaction whatsoever. Arriving here was the majority of Ash's group, minus Rarity who wasn't here yet. The location of the Time Leaks were known by now, making it easy to find them.

This entire time, Alpha Pokemon have been leaving the Time Leaks that have scattered across the Human World. No one as even gone through them or even looked through them. Until now. And the only one who was capable of doing so was Rarity's Froslass, who once used to live in Sinnoh when it was called Hisui.

Lena Ketchum came from the far past and so did Froslass. The gap between the two, however, was different. Froslass comes from 1400 years in the past while Lena predates her by 2000 years. That technically made Lena older than her but surely, the surroundings were familiar.

"Alright, Froslass. Try putting your head through it. We don't you fully going through in case something bad happens." Fluttershy suggested, wanting Froslass to play it safe. Going fully through the Time Leak was just asking for trouble.

"If something goes wrong, we'll grab you." Ash gave a thumbs-up, preparing for the scenario in which Froslass accidentally passes through or is on the verge of passing through.

"Lass!" Froslass was on it. This would be rather nostalgic since the land she once knew has changed drastically over the years. She's forgotten what it felt like back then compared to now but with the Time Leak, she could see and feel what the region was like all those years ago.

She hovered into the air, approaching the passageway in between the past and present from two completely different worlds. In a way, this was just another version of the gateways that once used to populate the world in very possible direction.

At the same time, while everyone stood above this Time Leak, those eyes from before were present once more Using bushes once again, they fixated on Ash specifically. All of his friends were completely ignored as it was only Ash that was important. However, next to those eyes were two more eyes.

"I told you...Ever since his name became popular in this era, he would show up again. We picked the right time to enter this timeline." A voice spoke from it, speaking to the other individual that was hiding.

"What do we do? He's not her but he might know something. How do we approach him with all of those people and Pokemon around him?"

"I have something in mind. Just make sure no one else sees us. We've been staying hidden for a while now and even when we have him in our sights, it's too risky to show ourselves. Who knows what we will do to time?"

"Audino?" Naturally, this caught the attention of the best Hearer in the Pokemon World. Audino. She heard this conversation, turning her head to face the bushes. Immediately, the two eyes would pull back, making the bushes rustle. This did not help them as now their existence was made aware by the Hearing Pokemon. "Dino..."

"What did you hear, Audi?" Fluttershy questioned.

"Is someone there?" Rainbow Dash spoke, narrowing her eyes. "Who's spying on us?"

"Spying? Is it one of your fans again, Ash?" Pinkie Pie nudged the King of the Sea on the back.

"Uhh?" Ash shrugged. If that was the case they wouldn't be hiding from him. They make it very clear that they get up close and personal and show themselves as much as possible. Whoever was there was not a fan of Ash, judging by the way they spoke.

"Not good...They heard us...How?" The voices of these strangers were instantly lowered as they put their hands over their mouths.

"That Pokemon has massive ears. I've never seen it before." And to them, Audino was brand new. Never before had they seen such a Pokemon and what its speciality was. But now they knew. They were still hidden but at this point, they were using the shades to hide themselves. Try as they might to keep themselves silent, even a heartbeat could not escape Audino's ears.

"Froslass..." As for Froslass, with her head through the Time Leak, she saw the past once more. And she was already feeling very nostalgic by looking at it.

The atmosphere was so different. It had a nostalgic feeling to it while also catering to Froslass' biology. The area in question was a snow-dipped land, similar to where she used to be. A massive iceberg stood smack-dab in this chilly land as Froslas was only getting a far view of it. But it was so massive that even from this distance, she could make out a lot.

This was the same area where Rarity found her in the modern day. It was rather surprising that Froslass just so happened to come across this area yet again. Almost as if this Time Leak was catering to her. However, something new caught her eye that she never saw before during her time in the past. She has mainly stayed around in a specific location back in the past so the rest of this area was unknown to her.

And one of these unknown sights appeared to be a settlement of some sort. People were living there at this time in what would soon become the entirety of Snowpoint City and its surroundings. This was just a look at the old Snowpoint City, but so far, this wasn't helping with the Lena Ketchum case. No sign of her at all.

"Lass. Froslass." Froslass shook her head, revealing that she had nothing at all to share.

"Nothing that good, huh?" Applejack held onto her hat, scratching her face for a moment. "Let me see that. Sceptile, take me up."

"Tile." Sceptile would gladly do so and he would use Frenzy Plant. Large roots appeared from the ground as Applejack perfectly stood on them, ascending into the air. The Farm Girl would be the next individual to look through this Time Leak to see what Froslass saw. The two eyes from before stayed quiet, fearful that they had been found out.

But the moment Applejack put her hand through the Time Leak, what she saw was vastly different to what Froslass saw. In fact, it was nothing at all. A blank space was seen by Applejack with nothing there but just white. No ground, no sky, no landscape, no life. Nothing. "W-What the?! There's nothing here?! It's empty!"

"Empty? That can't be right. Can it?" Starlight Glimmer questioned, looking over at Froslass. However, Froslass begged to differ as she saw something. Something very familiar to her. "Well, it looks like Froslass says otherwise. Are you sure there's nothing there?"

"Let me try!" Soon, Pinkie Pie would hop on top of the Frenzy Plants, wanting to see for herself. She bounced from plant to plant, feeling her mane shake with Mew inside of it. With Applejack moving to the side, Pinkie Pie slammed her face through the Time Leak, taking a gander. The white space that Applejack saw soon met with her eyes. "Oooh...Yeah. It's pretty empty here. I could probably paint in this place."

"Mew? Mew-Mew." Mew had a different experience. Mew saw something but it was no the same as Froslass saw. Mew saw what appeared to be some Coastlands. Not a snowy area like what Froslass got to see. Mew squinted as he wasn't exactly getting a nostalgic feeling when looking at this area.

"You see something else, Mew? What's up with that?" Pinkie Pie asked.

"What is going on in there? Is there something or not?" Rainbow Dash questioned, wanting a clear answer.

"It sounds like only the Pokemon are seeing something. Maybe it's exclusive to them?" Starlight theorized as so far only two Pokemon have seen some form of land compared to what Pinkie Pie and Applejack saw. So, the best thing to do was to have the Pokemon poke their heads through.

"Castform!" Castform would gladly do so, flying out Rainbow Dash's bag. The Weather Pokemon's entire body was small enough to fit through the Time Leak as it was impossible for him to stick just his head in there. He was so small that his whole body might as well be through the Time Leak.

However, when gazing through the Time Leak, Castform also saw nothing. White space is what he saw. Castform was rather let down, pulling out of the leak as she shook his head which was his entire body. He confirmed to them that he saw nothing, unlike Froslass and Mew.

"Wait, Castform doesn't see anything either? I thought the Pokemon would surely see something?" What's going on?" Fluttershy pondered. This was all rather perplexing as she couldn't wrap her head around it.

"Pretty weird..." Ash would climb up the roots with Pikachu, wanting to take a peek. The first time he and his friends were finally interacting with this Time Leak and the results are rather wild. It was either nothing or something. But it still had nothing to do with Lena Ketchum who was equally enigmatic right now.

But at that moment, when Ash and Pikachu took their turn, they were hit in the face with something. Much like Froslass, a nostalgic feeling came to them. Their eyes widened and their jaws dropped as they couldn't believe their eyes. There was no white space. Instead, there was a familiar area that they have already been to a few months ago.

Michina Town. The town where Arceus' Jewel of Life was given back to him and the fate of Humanity was on the line. But it wasn't just Michina Town. It was Michinia Town in the past. Ash recognized this location as this was where he met the ancestor of Sheena, Damos.

And with even further detail, it was Michina Town right after the whole event with the Jewel of Life. The buildings have healed and the land would thrive once more. There were no ruins here at all and most likely, the Time-Space Axis hasn't been built yet. Ash and Pikachu were gazing into a specific part of the past.

"Michina Town.." Ash gasped. "The one in the past!"

"Pikachu!"

"Michina Town?! Seriously?!" Applejack and Pinkie Pie collectively said, befuddled by what they were hearing. This was only hurting their brains even more as they couldn't understand what was going on.

"They have no idea...and it's best they don't. For the sake of keeping things safe." The mysterious stranger added, knowing more than what Ash and the others were encountering.

"Alright, someone's definitely there!" Rainbow Dash shouted as the mysterious individual spoke a little too loud there. "Castform, Weather Ball!"

"Scatter!" One of the voices spoke as the Weather Ball from Castform targeted the bushes. Right as it approached the bushes, the individuals who hid in it had already fled now that they were being exposed even more. The bushes were blown away by the spiralling sphere, revealing the rest of the ground.

Even though they managed to escape the Weather Ball, Ash managed to just barely spot the two strangers as they were running away, using the trees as cover. And from what he could tell, there was something familiar about both of them. And it was mainly the hair.

"Someone's spying on us for sure! I bet it's about that Time Leak!" Rainbow Dash grumbled. "Well, they're not gonna get away from me!"

"Wait, Rainbow Dash! What about the Time Leak?!" Pinkie Pie screeched the second Rainbow Dash took off.

"If it helps, they probably know something about it that we don't. That's what Audi interpreted when hearing them," said Fluttershy, giving them a reason to follow these strangers.

"Hmm..." But while the others would follow Rainbow Dash, pursuing these two strangers, Ash was focused on the fact that he was seeing Michina Town in the past. HE wondered if it had something to do with his ancestor. Or something to do with him.

Ash thought for a moment, realizing that the only ones who managed to see something in the Time Leak were Pokemon who have long lifespans or those who have witnessed the past already. Considering that Time Leas send out Pokemon from the past into the modern day, it was easy to see that Time Travel could be the reason why Ash was seeing this area. And he has been through his fair share of Time Travel.

"Wait for me, guys!" Ash exclaimed as he and Pikachu would hop off the long roots. While the Time Leaks didn't show them anything about Ash's very-great grandma, it did have something interesting that could not be ignored. Ash was definitely going to come back here but first he had to know who was spying on him and his friends.


When searching for them both, Ash went a different way, too late to keep up with his friends. He took a different path that showed a forest. He has already been here before so this forest was all too familiar. Ash wasn't lost at all but he felt like he might have lost the trail on his friends.

"Lost 'em. I guess I can just call them." Ash sighed, closing his eyes and crossing his arms, thinking about the Time Leak. "But what's that all about? I thought the Time Leak just brought out Pokemon from the past. There's way more to it than we thought. I gotta tell Professor Oak about it. Sci-Twi's definitely gonna love this."

"Pikachu?"

"I know buddy. Not sure how to feel. But I'm not worried! No need to worry after all!" Ash pumped his fist. "Time Travel's always pretty weird for us but we get there eventually."

"Pi..." Pikachu nodded before hearing a rustle go on. Once again, the bushes were being interacted with as the wrong movement would always cause alerts to go off. "Pika?!"

"Hm?! Aha!" Ash grinned hearing that rustle. That meant that either one of those two individuals was present here. He was on the right path it seems. "We know you're there!"

"Pika-Pikachu!" Pikachu rubbed his hands, eager to shock whoever was in there. He built up some electricity in his hands, preparing for a devious way to force the stranger out of the bushes.

"Hmm...Well, at least it's just you and your Pokemon." The voice within the bushes said. The two individuals did say that it would be difficult to approach Ash since he had so many of his friends around him. But now, it was just Ash and his Pikachu. No one else. Well, there were the rest of his Pokemon but the stranger did not know that.

At last, she could show herself. Emerging from the bushes which proved to be a bad hiding spot, at least for her, she confronted Ash Ketchum at last, having more knowledge about the Time Leaks than any of his friends and himself had at the moment, showing up to speak with. "Ketchum. Ash Ketchum, right?"

"Yeah? And you are...?"

"Arezu." She introduced herself to him. "And it looks like you match the art on the walls to a T. This is proof that someone from the past has actually entered here and lived a fulfilling life! Now we're getting somewhere!"

"...Huh?"

As the journey continues.


Chapter 226 End.
