Pokemon: Successors of the Forgotten, Part 5, Legends Never Die (IC)

[IrnBruAddict]

While the two men of the group were looking around for Damien, Liam notices a shadow on the ground. He looks up, only to see a woman dressed in a long black coat fall from the sky. She manages to right herself at the last second and lands on her feet. Before he can say anything to the woman from the sky, he's smashed to the ground as a small girl in a red coat falls out of the sky on his head.

Russ turns around to see what was going on, only for a fire-horse, Damien and his Magby fall onto the wrestler. A Garchomp also falls to the ground near the girls, scaring the Grimer out of them.

'Is everyone okay' asks the woman in black.

[EdroGrimshell]

"U-wha...?" Autumn makes a strange questioning noise, seeing a bunch of people fall from the sky. The confused look on her face says as much as the confused noise.

[Spacewolf]

After being smashed into the ground Liam has sometime to think over the strange course of events that has lead to someone randomly appearing unsupported in the sky and landing on him only just making his top 5 wierdest moments of the past year.

After a few seconds he rolls the girl off him and gives her a hand up if she hasn't already gotten off him. Taking a look around he atleast manages a smile when he notices Russ, muttering to himself.

"At least it wasn't the horse."

After that he just waits for the inevitable explantion that was surely coming. Telling Shrike to stop circling Damien, the little bird chirping happily at a completed mission.

[Regalus]

"Y-Yeah...I'll live," he said as he rolled of the wrestler, before thanking and returning Edna with his free arm. The boy laid there starring up at the sky, his right hand clenched into a quivering fist; whether it was from using the scale, the cold or just shock, the boy did not know.

[KujiUn]

GUT struggles to hold them all, and soon everyone crashes down to the ground. "Ow! Where did everyone come from!?"

[Eshkigal]

Emma was aiding in the search (because I forgot to mention anything) when time shenanigans occur.
"By the void!"
She clings to Sylvia as the Garchomp appears out of thin air, before noticing the others, slowly getting off of her and looking at them.
"Wait...is that..."
No way. No way it can be her. No muking way...

[Dragonsage]

"Oh..." Sylvia stared blankly at everyone who fell from the heavens, startled by the random dragon though once she saw Damien was among those who fell she managed to calm down. She had questions, yes, but she wasn't going ask or make facial expressions that showed her curiosity or confusion. Growing up in an environment where people appear and disappear casually will have that effect. Besides, she had a feeling her questions were going to be answered soon anyway.

[IrnBruAddict]

The two women pick themselves up. 'Well, that seemed to work. Could have gone better, but at least we stopped the rampage. Do you have the ball on you?'

'No Master Cynthia. I had a full team, so I assume the creature was sent to Bill's PC before we time jumped. I tried to jump only a few years, but the temporal tear sent us a bit off. Are you okay Master Cynthia? Master Damien?'

The woman in black pats the girl on the head and assures her she's fine. She looks about at the rest of you. 'Sorry for dropping in on you guys. Just give us a little moment and we'll be out of your hair.'

She spots Emma, and she looks to be a little confused. 'Amelia? Is that you? What year is this?'

[Spacewolf]

Seeing the old champion in front of him was certainly a novel experience and probably pushed today up to third on the list, looking at her she was obviously about the same age as the pictures from when she was still champion in the text books. The girl who landed on him looked pretty familiar as well but Liam couldn’t quite place the face.

Deciding to answer the question quickly while Emma was still presumably confused.

“The Year is 1074, 14th day of Klink if you use the Unovan calendar.”

[Eshkigal]

"Amelia was my grandmother...are you-no, that'd be-except the temporal rift up there could've...but then how'd...are you?"
Oh, so many questions to ask, and so little time. That can't be her. No muking way were they that lucky as to meet her, that'd be-gods damn, could it really be her?

[Regalus]

Damien shook himself out of his stupor upon remembering his time displaced cohorts, " Cynthia,Platinum, Welcome to my present...I think," he greeted with a half hearted smile before turning to his friends, "How long have I been gone for?" he inquired curiously.

[Spacewolf]

Taking a rough guess at how long since they had come over the crest of the hill.

"Maybe twenty minutes, long enough for us to find Red encased in crystal, figure out a possible way to get him out, then decide against it. After that we decided to try and find out where you had gotten off to."

[KujiUn]

Russ has no idea what in the world is happening, so he keeps his silence for now.

[IrnBruAddict]

Cynthia puts her hand to her head and thinks.

'The future, eh? It must have still been open from when Damien fell through. We'll need to go back. Platinum, do you think you can take us back to the mountain a week after the explosion? We can't teleport right back to the same time, or we might get caught in the blast.'

Platinum stops and considers this. 'I can try. Wait!' She takes out her pen and a notebook, and writes a note. It was a date, about 33 years ago, and an address. 'Here Damien, take this. When you find Ceres, take take her to this location in Sinnoh and travel back to this time. You should meet me, which will be me meeting you for the first time.She can't travel through space, she can only displace the person in time, so you need to go here. I shouldn't be too hard to find.' She hands Damien the note.

'Can you do that for us? If you guys don't find Ceres for me, I can't help you in the future, which is your present.'

[Regalus]

Damien took the small sheet of paper, doing his best to commit the contents to memory before putting it away in a safe place,"Seeing as I wouldn't want to be retroactively blown to smithereens due to a time paradox, consider it a done deal," he quipped as he began coming up with different ways to secure the information. "Anything I should know for our first meeting?"

[IrnBruAddict]

The Sinnohans return their pokeon and make to leave. Platinum quickly hugs Autumn before pulling out a strange looking pokeball.

'I think you look much better with no eye-patch Damien. Nice to meet you all.' Cynthia takes Paltinum's hand and you see the flash of something green before the two just disappear.

[Regalus]

Damien blinked, "Wait, what?!" he exclaimed as the pair vanished, before groaning and rubbing his temples; remembering just why it was he hated spoilers so much.

[Spacewolf]

"Care to fill us in on where you went this time? Seems you've had your own adventure."

[Regalus]

"About 30 years. Ran into Platinum, Celebi's chosen and my apprentice-to-be, right here on the mountain. I lent a hand in the battle here at the summit and gave the others the chance stop Red, who's abyss touched by the way, and Mewtwo before Red's plan went to far," he recited almost mechanicly, "In the end, Mewtwo was captured and...well, Blue used one of Chi's wishes to seal himself and Red away," he adds melancholicly before looking up in direction of the summit.

"What's the summit like right now any way?" he asks slightly exhausted from all of the days events thus far.

[EdroGrimshell]

"Red and Blue?" Autumn asks, "only one of them's up there."

[Regalus]

"WHAT?! Are you sure?!" he exclaims in shock and horror, locking eyes with Autumn.

[EdroGrimshell]

"It was only Red that was there," Autumn replies, "Blue wasn't there."

[Regalus]

"No..." he muttered before running towards the crater as swiftly as his tired legs could take him; trying to rationalize why the others had missed his predecessor. Everything from time changing to a landslide covering his portion of the seal. The young Champion refused to believe that someone, ANYONE, would desecrate Blue's resting place; especially without taking Red given their position before they'd parted ways.

[Spacewolf]

Liam follows Damien over the hill, presumably the mystic could show them where Blue had been last he saw him and they could check the crystal for any signs of tampering.

[EdroGrimshell]

"Come on, we don't want to get separated again," Autumn says to everyone still there.

[Eshkigal]

Emma stares at where Cynthia and Platinum disappeared, mouth agape. They DID just meet her! Cynthia! Mother of Arceus!
And then Liam runs off, snapping her out of it and causing her to run after.
"Liam, Damien! Don't run off on a mountain where there is a giant, gaping hole in time!"

[KujiUn]

Russ runs after them. "COME ON, we have to stick together!"

[Dragonsage]

Sylvia just followed everyone else, making a mental note to have Emma explain a few things later.

[IrnBruAddict]

Damien climbs the mountain to the plateau, and counts 1 ex-Kanto champion. Not 2, just 1. Blue was nowhere to be seen. Wait, that wasn't quite true. After much searching you did find an arm that was encased in crystal. It was probably the one Blue lost in the fight.




Kinda gross looking at a disembodied arm. Yuk.

[KujiUn]

Russ starts to move away, gently pushing everyone else away from the arm.
