The five of us all trained together at last, and loads happened!
First, I should explain about my Uni friend. She's called Sammy, and for Christmas I gave her an Oddish. Level 13, knows absorb, sweet scent, acid and poisonpowder.
So we all met up and I introduced Sammy to the rest of the group. She wanted to train Oddish with a proper battle, and Ragnarok wanted to give Pichu a proper battle, so they decided on a 1 v 1.
Oddish wandered forwards, looking round the base, excited for his first battle.
'Let's start with acid!'
With an excited cry, Oddish launched a blob of acid at Pichu.
'Dodge and use thunderwave!'
'Piiiiii!'
'Oooooooddddddddiii...'
This was a bad start for Oddish, as crackle of electricity rippled from it, and it stopped mid step, it's foot returning, very slowly, to the ground.
Rag grinned, and Sammy frowned. Then she looked determined, as Pichu ran forwards.
'Sweet scent!'
'Ooooddi!'
there was a pfffffffff noise, and then a beautiful smell filled the room. I found myself smiling, and leaning forwards to smell it better. Everyone in the room looked a bit sleepy, and Pichu had come to a halt and was sniffing at the air, looking happy.
'Woah.......ok, inside was a....bad idea....Oddish, quick, poisonthing....powder......'
'Butterfree, could you....with the flapping? ....and the smell?'
Butterfree looked a bit dazed, but flapped it's wings, and the air cleared. I shook my head, and looked up to see purple specks settling on Pichu, who seemed to wake up suddenly, glow purple, and looked a bit ill.
'No! Pichu, Sweet Kiss and Thundershock, quickly!'
'Piii? Piiii!'
Pichu focused, and launched a small ghostly angel and a bolt of energy. both hit, and Oddish reeled. Pichu ran forwards, as another flash of purple washed over him.
'Absorb!'
Oddish blinked, lunged with a long leaf from it's head....and smacked itself in the face.
'Noo! Try again, you can do it!'
This time the leaf made contact with Pichu, pushing him away, and as he stumbled, tiny balls of light shot from him and flowed into Oddish.
I couldn't get the weird feeling out of my head. The sweet scent was gone, so what was it? Then I noticed my DS on the table, where Rag had been using it earlier. It's recharge light was flashing purple. And it wasn't plugged in.
Glaceon saw too, and ran between Oddish and Pichu, calling out to get everyone's attention. I became aware that alot of the feeling was coming from my right shoulder, and I was trembling.
'Oh great. This feels like a big one.' I sighed, and as everyone turned to look at me, there was an explosion of purple light from my right side. Next thing I know, my head really hurts, and everyone's looking down at me.
'You alright?'
'Well, not a fan of the blacking out bit.....DS....what's DS say....'
Don handed it to me, and I sat up.
'Wow, big disturbance this time. Well Sammy, you wanted to come along on one of our 'Dimension collision clean ups' this is your chance. You guys will need to fix up Pichu and Oddish though, where my- ah, thanks Glaceon.'
Glaceon pulled my bag over, and I got out a peach, a cherry, and two bottles of water.
'Sorry, no persimmon's, but a quick trip into the ball should fix the confusion.'
As I stood up, my phone went off. 'Yeah?'
'Tempest? I know you're probably busy, so just when you can, but could you pop out to market square? Nothing big really, it's just that ALL THE BIRDS HAVE GONE CRAZY. GET OVER HERE!'
As my friend hung up, I felt my DS vibrate more violently.
'Rag, what was it you were doing on here before the battle?'
'Oh, just activating the 'some items' from the Action Replay. Getting stuff for working on Heartgold. Pichu wanted to see what Raichu's like on there, and-'
I held up a hand to stop him. I was pressing the button to change it into a DSDex, but it wasn't working. It was stuck. I pressed L and R. The Heartgold game glowed purple, and a landslide of small stones streamed out of it. We backed hurriedly out of the base to avoid being buried up to our knees. Glaceon's Brothers and Sisters crowded round us, and we checked everyone was alright. I picked up one of the stones that had slid out of the door, and looked at it. It was slightly pointed at the ends, and was translucent, with a bolt of lightning in it's middle, like a large, jagged marble.
'I was wondering how these would fit into our world, thought we'd need some eventually. Well played.'
'Ha, thanks, although, we may not need QUITE this many.'
'No. We'll pack them up later. Let's deal with these birds-'
I was stopped by a noise from a bulge in the air. Inside the shop, where I'd been standing, the air was bulging and warping. Then a beam of purple light broke free, and there was a strong wind blowing round us. The eevee's huddled together and Glaceon leapt between them and the light, as energy crackled in the space, and voices could be heard.
'IIIIAAAAA! Watch out on the left!'
'Oh god! Here they come!'
'If this is only a patrol, I'd hate to see the army!'
'En Gua-ah!'
'What?'
'My sword! Something swallowed up my sword!'
I ducked as a long, shining blade with a dazzling golden hilt flew from the rip in the air and embedded itself in the wall behind me. Then there was a long sound, as if from a horn, and a mighty roar. The rip seemed to bulge again, and there was high pitched, almost robotic laughter, a weird noise, a thin beam of light shot from the rip and narrowly missed Sammy, and then a shrill whirring sound. The rip bulged once more, and Happiny threw a fire stone at it. It vanished into the light, and Jonny grabbed Happiny, scooping her up into his arms. My shoulder tingled, and the tear closed.
'What. Was. That?!'
We still have no idea.
