[Sable-Xeno]

(Before we begin, anything Naoya said is inserted in italics, and things put in brackets are little blurbs from afterwards I just felt to include for your convenience. Just so we clear that up first.)

Well, something you guys may not be aware of, was that I recently told to my friend, Naoya, the great and expansive story of Sable, Cyan, and all those other characters I keep spewing about, in a neat (read: Super-confusing) and orderly (read: hole-ridden) manner. I present this document of a conversation between me and Naoya illustrating the full-on (or as much as I could remember) details of this long Epic taking three whole days to e plain. And yes, I glossed over the filler. Be thankful for that, there were a LOT of filler moments...

WARNING: The following story has huge traces of possible plagiaristic tendencies, as well as just generally being rather confusing overall. This is due to being a rather self-told story, and for ease of remembering by being related to terms I could relate to. That, and...it may have started out as a tribute of sorts to all the RPGs I loved to play, all meshed into a story I thought I would enjoy. I dunno, I'll just shut up with the explanations and...well, show you just a bit of the mechanics behind my crazy thought-process.

NOTICE: This story was being re-told by my characters, for the most part. So, you know, just...putting that out there.

ADDENDUM: I might have...skimped on a few key details about when telling the first story. Like the placement of the continents of Mysidia, or...that Horus and Cid had a common dragonian ancestry. Well, just saying that now.

Cyan the Samurott: "If ANYONE'S gonna tell of my story, it ought to be me. And believe me, it is quite a long one..."

"It all began four years ago..."

[i]I like long stories. I'll shut up and listen now.[/i]

(NOTICE: as this story was originally intended for myself, a lot of concepts were borrowed/directly lifted from other sources. Just a bit of a note to mention.)

"I was but a simple Dewott, from an island chain to the east of the continent of blancis. A rather plain continent of plains. See, back then, It was a world of simply Pokemon, who had not the technology to know of long-distance boat travel. There was one ship that had sailed ten years prior...but that is a long story in and of itself."

[i]But they did have long-distance water Pokémon travel, right?[/i]

"I came to this continent, in the hopes of becoming a Mystery Dungeon explorer. And that's when I met her: a very young Zangoose, by the name of Zachlera. She, and two others: a Fraxure named Cid, and a Servine named Horus, joined a Mystery Dungeon Guild, and went exploring the southern continent Verdania, connected to Blankis by a huge bridge...but exploring the vast jungle, a pokemon named Xerneas appeared, and warped her away..."

Alex the Zoroark: "Hey, yeah. WASN'T there such travel? Hmm, Cyan?"

Cyan: "...Well, I...ah, I never thought about that. Weird, considering my typing. I mean, I KNOW there was a group of travellers who explored the world, but...look, all I can say is at the time, Pokemon weren't aware of other continents. For the most part."

Alex: "I STILL think Xeno was nuts when he came up with that. And hey, I didn't even exist back then!...er, well, I guess I still don't, yet, but whatever! Man, I hate time travel."

Cyan: "ANYWAYS..."

[i]Yes, do go on. *Pours himself some wine*[/i]

Cyan: "Okay. (You know, Xeno ought just type this story up so he doesn't have to keep re-telling it constantly...) So, three years later, I'm a miserable mess, and I still miss Zachlera sorely, something Cid constantly praddles me on about. We head back into town and, lo and behold, there she is, Zachlera, a fully-mature woman. Now, While I know there's a good explanation, it would require telling of ANOTHER story that...really has nothing to do with this one. So, I'll just say she was sent somewhere that had a time differential."

[i]I've experienced that the other way around. I've seen places where time doesn't pass.[/i]

Cyan: "We went on our merry way, while she spoke to me of a great threat to our world. See, millions of years ago, a huge meteor fell to the Earth. A Samurott and human child prior-"

Alex: "Hey, fun fact! That human child was one of my friends from the future! Heh, long story."

Cyan: "..."

Alex: "..."

[i]How much time... stuff is involved here?[/i]

Sable the Lucario: "...A hilariously large amount. Trust me, I'll explain when we get to the third segment of this massive story."

Cyan: "...ANYWAY, they had the great Rayquaza try to destroy the meteor, and he failed, so it fell to Earth. Back then, it was actually a world of humans, and a world of pokemon. But the worlds were separated, to spare destruction. The himan side continued to exist as Earth (that side has it's own story of events, but it's...largely negligable), while the pokemon side is the Mysidian side we know of today.

[i]I certainly don't know of it. I know of a handful of other worlds, though. Like the one where a version of me is a newborn baby that was cloned from an ancient dragon.[/i]

"This meteor, a living lifeform named Lavos, buried itself into the core, and was prophesized to awaken within the year. I was to head to each mana temple, and empower the great Mana sword with the energies of the Mana Seeds, and use it to face off against Lavos, on the south pole continent of Poralias, at the base of the Mana Tree. And, as it turns out, Zachlera was actually a Mana Dragon, born of the world's Mana, as a failsafe, should I fail in my mission."

Sable: "Hey, there's multiples of me, too! Like, I...nah, I should probably let Cyan finish."

[i]And then a boy named Crono... Wait, wrong story? Sorry.[/i]

Cyan: "Heh, Xeno does love his Chrono Trigger, doesn't he? Yes, Sable's story borrows a LOT MORE from that then my own...mine's more..."Secret of Mana" flavored. Hell, we even had our own baby Mana dragon, one like Flammie...though, I think I'll skimp on the details here, otherwise, we'd be here all day. You'll just need to know that we went to several continents, awakened several seed, learned of the fate of a ship crew from Blankis, one of whom joined our cause...A Pignite, named Faris, a female dressed as a man, sailing a pirate ship amongst the deserts of Deltine. The others of that ship, though, were...mysteriously experimented on."

[i]Final Fantasy 5 too?[/i]

Cyan: "Yes....should I mentioned we...um, battled Gilgamesh?"

Alex: "So, XENO, any OTHER stories you should mention you ripped off?"

[i]The kind that always finds Excalipoor instead of Excalibur, or the kind that swordspams with Gate of Babylon?[/i]

(The first one.)

Ah, ehm...well...There's Fire Emblem: Awakening, Chrono Cross, Xenoblade, and...maybe Black2/White2, if you consider taking bits and pieces from the PokeStar movies "ripping off".

Cyan: "Sigh...It would be nice if there were more original elements in my story..."

[i]Maybe I can help with that at some point, if you'd like.[/I]

"As I was saying, we also found allies in Howitzer, the Absol, and Shao, the Mienshao. And we travelled several continents, of forest, mountains, and sand, and a volcano near an underground volcano, every now and then coming face-to-face with an odd black Blaziken, who was apparently masquerading as the emperor of an unkown Continent...the floating continent of Atmos..."

Hey, I'm sure you have plenty of tips on story improvement, but keep in mind, this was a story I told solely to myself. Now that they're more public, I don't intend to take other concepts quite as often.

Cyan: "Alright, so our trip to Atmos was a...notable one. I had to face off with Rayquaza to get access, and from him gleamed the power of evolution: those who were in our party who could evolve, did, and we then explored this hidden place. It was full of the most intelligent pokemon whom you could know, an advanced civilization, hidden all these years..."

[i]I understand. I remember when my character Mortal was a Deku Scrub. Even he dreads those days.

And was it a civilization of Alakazams?[/i]

Sable: "Not just Alakazams, but funny you should mention that. There WAS this one Alakazam, Ansem, about...631 years from now, whom-"

Cyan: "AHEM."

"There was a reason for this: it was a fragment of Lavos, the Frozen Flame, that they kept close to their possession. They used it's powers to experiment on several pokemon, including the true Emporer of Atmos, a Black Blaziken named Gaspard. But, that wasn't all...we found out that the Samurott who dared to save all Pokemon and humans, millions of years ago, was my true Ancestor, and...that my true family came from this city. One of the pokemon they experimented on was a Dewott...he was my older brother. I had to face him in battle, as well as the fell Black Blaziken from before, who escaped with the frozen flame in hand..."

[i]This is the strangest mix of different game stories I've ever heard.[/i]

"Without the frozen Flame, or the support of Rayquaza, Atmos came falling to the Ocean's surface...and was now a continent much like any other. Afterwards, we freed Gaspard, and he stepped down from power, in favor of my brother, and we set off for our next destination....the dead continent of Chronis."

[i]Wait, continents can die?[/i]

Cyan: "This continent was dead because, thirty years ago, it was struck by Atmos with the power of the Frozen Flame, and it's Dragon Ancestry was all but destroyed in a single night. The few survivors left towards the nearby continent of Blankis via boat, and-"

Alex: "PLOOOOOOOOT HOOOOOOOOLES! You said there was NO ocean travel!"

[i]But there's POKÉMON travel, remember?[/i]

Cyan: "Ugh...and no, not literally dead...but it's destroyed ruins would convey that..."

[i]Just change boats with Pokémon

They left on Latiases

...

Laprases

Sorry, my brain died for a second[/i]

Latios: "You know, he DID neglect to mention us carrying them from the southern Islands to Forestia..."

Cyan: "...Anyone ELSE?"

Yarne the Lopunny: "Yeah, can we get some snacks? I'm STARVING!"

[i]I have some pringles[/i]

Inigo the Milotic: "Ooh, do share some with me, then."

Cyan: "...So, after visiting seven of the Mana Seeds-"

Cid the Haxorus: "Mind going over that part?"

[i]*shares his pringles*


Mortal: *Mutters something about "deku scrubs"*

(Speaking of, here's a picture of present day Mortal http://puu.sh/dKXeu/05d54be6ce.jpg)[/i]

Cyan: "...Water was in Verdania, Air, Forestia, Earth, Deltine, Darkness, Acinetos Mountains, Fire, underwater Volcano, Light, Atmos, Lunar, Chronis, Mana, Blankis. There, happy? I guess I'll skip to Polaris, where we found the Mana Tree...we had to face off against it's protectors, Azelf, Uxie, and Mesprit, and then the Fell Black Blaziken, whom used the Frozen Flame to become all-powerful, and then we faced off against Lavos, and all was well with the world."

Cyan: "...Or so we THOUGHT."

[i]There was still the matter of the non-existent boats?[/i]

Cyan: "Nice picture. Anyways, you're in for a treat: You're officially...CAN WE STOP ABOUT THE OCEAN TRAVEL, ALREADY? I'L ADMIT, IT WAS A STUPID PLOT TWIST!....Anyways, you're officially the first person to hear this exciting thrid chapter of the story. The second chapter...was stupid. And had lots of copyright stuff, plus references to OTHER stories....look, all you need to know was there was this human friend I met, named Mark."

[i]Mortal: He must have gotten lost hardcore.[/i]

"See, Mark had told us he came from the human side of Mysidia...which merged back with the Pokemon side of Mysidia when Lavos was defeated. (Yes, just like in FFV...) but see, that's where we get into the "Giant Space Flea From Nowhere" part of the story...there was this Alien, named Giegue, who lost one that he loved, ten billion years ago...and developed a machine to retrieve lost souls...but it failed to work. Seeking vengeance, he had made a machine that would destroy the known universe, and re-create it in his own image, sending himself ten billion years into the future, to avoid the planet's destruction by the hands of it's OWN Lavos..."

Samantha the Zangoose: "Father, is it okay if I...step in to explain that part?"

Cyan: "...Hmm...sure, I don't see why not."

Samantha: "Okay...at the beginning of the Universe...no, the Alphaverse that Xeno created, a powerful machine was created to gather information of all worlds, to expand its data, and to assimilate into a greater power...but it, powered by one named Iblis, destroyed the Universe and re-created it...it continued to gain power, collect data, destroy and recreate the Universe, all to contain one solitary evil...I...shan't speak it's name. Anyway, this machine operated by sending powerful alien pods throughout the worlds...these data collectors are often known as Lavos, but goes by other names, too, like Jenova, Deoxys, ect. And that was why there was a Lavos on his homeworld, and Mysidia...this was an issue that wasn't truly dealt with for another-"

[i]Yay, more ripped off names

Mortal: If my world got any alien invader, I failed to notice it. Or it blended with all the other monstrosities.[/i]

Alex: "STOP THE PRESSES! Xeno, you copy/pasted that paragraph of hers fro the Symphonic RP! I mean, sure, ripping off names is one thing, but ripping off YOURSELF? C'mon...and hey, my name's a rip-off, too. Though, it's a common name, so...nobody's really noticed..."

Samantha: "Hey...yeah..."

Okay, so I wanted to make an educational Copy/paste joke, okay?

(Alex: "Hell, I think I'm gonna interject here! Because THIS is a copy/paste of an earlier conversation, and you just put a copy/paste that was copy/pasted into an entire OTHER copy/paste, thereby copy/pasting a copy/paste!)

[i]Xun: All this because I'm a mongoose. Truly amazing.[/i]

Cyan: "...Okay, just for that, I'm gonna explain less clearly! The advanced human city of Metropolis merged with Chronis to make the advanced ruin city, Chronopolis, we found an Ark of Yamato (YES, THAT SAME ARK, I KNOW. Don't worry, I tend to keep copyright stuff to a minimum nowadays...), and we flew to the lost Planet of Styx, near the center of the galaxy, where Giegue lie in wait."

"We tried to fight him off, but he hid behind his machines, and...he won. The Universe was destroyed. And yet, we..."

[i]Did Charon fly you there for a coin?[/i]

Faris the Emboar: "Har har, very funny."

Zachlera the Zangoose: "We lived. All thanks to some odd being. We ended up in this odd dimention...it was vast....and barren. And there was...just a vortex of near nothingness. We battled this vortex, formerly Giegue, being powered by that same strange being, and then, it recognized me...I...I was the reincarnation of the loved one Giegue had lost. We destroyed his incorporeal form, and  he sent us back to before he destroyed the universe. I told him who I was, and then...well, the machine that he used was about to be destroyed...we escaped to safety, and travelled back to our planet. It was over. All the heartache, and despair. We won."

[i]So you got to skip the part where you become robots?[/i]

Cyan: "And Giegue...he had a change of heart. We all parted ways, each forming our own Mystery Dungeon Guild to aid in the efforts of both Humans, and Pokemon. This was a new world for both, after all....I had been separated from the Zachlera I so greatly loved. But we did eventually have kids of our own...or, at least, we WILL. Some time from now..."

Sable: "...You know, I never thought about it. When you consider what our world really is-"

Howitzer the Absol: "Ey' No, we ain'td became robots. But Trust us, evry' thin' else that happen in Taht games endin' did appen'."

[i]Mortal: If my clone was here, he'd tip his hat to the story.[/i]

Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

Sable: "Okay, then, you've now heard all of Cyan's story. Aren't you happy? Of course, that was just the first of a trilogy. But don't worry, we'll get to my part of the trilogy...probably tomorrow. I can think of three...or eight...individuals who would LOVE to talk about the second part of this long-winded story..."

Xelbas the Lucario: "Speaking of Clones..."

Sable: "...Uhm, no. You? No, just...wait in the corner. We'll get to you in about 5,000 more pages of dialogue."

[i]But if you're all Pokémon, I could technically capture you all with Pokéballs, right?

Hypothetically speaking

I'm not gonna do it[/i]

Fehn the Delphox: "Pfft. So, are we getting to part of the story now?"

Frank the Greninja: "Capture us....with Pokeballs...you have no idea..."

Chester the Chesnaught: "Despite all my daddy Horus did to help the relations between humans and Pokemon, tensions between them were quite high....and, even worse, was when HE came to this world...a super-intelligent Ledian, by the name of Beelzebub."

[i]The lord of flies?[/i]

Fehn: "Heh. You could say that."

[i]And I hate flies, too...[/i]

Frank: "Alright, first thing you should know...there were originally three of us. And this "three" would soon grow to eight. Seven of us eight were born on the same day...the day Lavos was destroyed. They called us...the children of advent."

*COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT INTENSIFIES*

[i]Seven people in the same day? That!... Sounds normal, actually.[/i]

Chester: "Yeah...we were all born last year, in other words! Keep in mind, this story is to take place nine years from now..."

Fehn: "Okay, so, earlier in this year, the three of us were infected with a severe virus. I, Fehn, was originally a Vulpix, born in the Deltine desserts. Chester, a Seedot, born to a Breloom and Shiftry of Forestia. And Frank, a poliwag, born to Doctor Hojo, a Scientist responsible for a great deal of experimentation that occurred in the prior story, of the continent Atmos-"

Alex: "Oh, by the way, Gaspard was an ancient survivor of the planet Styx. Just saying."

(Alex: "I forgot to mention this earleir, too, but he'd apparently been on Mysidia since it was first created. Guess that's something I could've mentioned in the original posting. But hey, better late than never, eh?)

[i]http://puu.sh/dKZcl/1f42b253f4.png My hero.[/i]

Chester: "...So, anyway, we were infected with an incurable disease, so our fathers traveled all over the land, looking for a cure...and the only one they could find was shards of the long-destroyed Frozen Flame...they were used to save us, but they also changed us...I was turned into what you may call a Chespin, Fehn turned into a Fennekin, and Frank turned into a Froakie..."

Chester: "Oh, that's so sweet! I like being a hero, you know. I've alwasy wanted to be a great explorer, and all."

[i]Keep up the good work, then.[/i]

Fehn: "Yeah...not me. Pah, you were always the tagalong. Me? I used to just prefer staying away from a fight."

Frank: "And I would rather just be tinkering with machinery all day. But you, Chester...you were the glue that kept us together...Something I'll always be thankful for, on that ship ride to Blankis."

Chester: "Aw, thanks, guys!"

[i]tranforming into starters is meta as heck, though[/i]

(Fun fact: this story came to be very soon after the announcement of X/Y. Thus, Fehn, Chester, and Frank being the only Kalos Pokemon. And I can Assure you, Chester being named after the same Chespin that Shauna gives you in the postgame is just a hilarious coincidence.)

[i]Mortal: Better off being a seed than a deku scrub.
Lavolta: Shut up, at least you weren't a Sonic OC
Mortal: Good point.[/i]

Chester: "So, during those next nine years, all things went to heck. Beelzebub came to be in Atmos, and conspired with Hojo to overthrow Cyan's brother from the throne. Beelzebub, in his rage against humanity, tried all he could to instill war on a global scale, sending warships and the like to other human-majorly controlled places, like Chronopolis, or the human City of Midagrd in the Acinetos Mountains, home of a powerful company, Silph Co."

[i]Too bad Hojo seems to be surviving longer than in FF7 here[/i]

"But man wasn't his only enemy. He also targeted the Seeds of Mana, instructing those under his command to go to each Mana templa and destroy them. Within those nine years, he had gotten to the Light, Fire, Water, and Air Seeds, and was in the process of getting to the Dark and Earth seeds, cleverly covered as "Mining" operations. The world had been spun out of balance..."

Hojo the Politoad: "Hm. I can assure you, I lived a long enough life. But hey, at least I didn't come back from the dead, or something equally stupid."

Frank: "Father...can you please not interrupt? I'm kinda-"

Inigo: "Wait...Grandfather?"

Hojo: "Grandson?"

[i]Lavolta: Tell that to Mortal. The guy doesn't know how to stay dead. Though it takes him a few hundred years to revive each time.
Mortal: Of course I can't. There's still evil to hunt down.[/i]

Frank: "...For as evil as he was, he wasn't a BAD father, I guess...outside of mutating my mother into a hideous beast, and driving her into hiding with my sister..."

[i]I wonder what's a bad father, then[/i]

Chester: "Skipping ahead! We were all orphaned, and I met Fehn and Frank on a ship heading to Blankis!"

Yamcha the Sandslash: "My father was a leader of bandits, who was possessed by an ancient evil, and tried to destroy the Universe. Now THAT'S a bad father."

Frank: "Gee, that was a fun time, wasn't it?"

[i]Sounds like everything was a fun time all around.

Wait, Yamcha? Like... Dragon ball Yamcha?[/i]

Fehn: "Anyway. We all found ourselves at the Guild of Guildmaster Cyan. He took us in, and taught us all how to be proper explorers. We met three others at our time there: a Female Pikachu named Pika, a Female Natu named Nana, and a transfer from another Guild, from Chronopolis: Sheila, the Sneasel. They were all our age, of course."

[i]... A Pikachu named Pika?[/i]

Yamcha: "As you can tell, a lot of us have borrowed names. If you couldn't tell, Xeno ended up playing FE:A while thinking about the story after this one."

Chester: "Another thing: Xeno can be bad with names. He literally JUST NOW made up My dad's name, Horus, and he constantly forgot Sheila's, Nana's, and Pika's old names....

Pika the Pikachu: "Ph, PLEASE. can I tell you how much he forgot our GENDERS?"

[i]How many times did you switch between male and female, then?[/i]

Nana the Xatu: "Oh, now THAT was fun. Turns out, our relationship wasn't just impossible, because pf egg groups...we apparently became lesbians, too..."

[i]Poko: I have a stupid name too, but at least I was always male.[/i]

Xanza the Xatu: "Sigh...it could be a miracle I was ever even BORN with how much my mother was into Pika...but she found herself a husband at some point, though."

[i]Mortal: Then again, we're all male. Naoya experimented with females and declared he wasn't comfortable with it.
Xun: Over a hundred males. And over a hundred of them are gay, too.[/i]

Fehn: "Alright so...Nana was kind of shy, but dreaded quite a bit, because she feared the future that she could see, but did not speak much to others of it, and Pika was just a bundle of energy that loved just being around others. But there was something mysterious about her that none of us could place...and Sheila? Total loner. She hardly ever spoke...when we first met. She was a lot more keen to speak up a little later on, though..."

Frank: "Anyway, on one of our first excursions in Blankis as a team, we stumbled upon a weird android of a Black Blaziken. And we...well, it went down fast. It was kinda lousy, really. And then this weird Politoad came up to it, and mumbled on how it wasn't complete...yeah, it was my father, but I decided it best not to mention it, at the time."

Chester: "And then, Outta NOWHERE, this robotic Scizor attacked us! He claimed we were jeopardizing the future, or something, but he left after some time."

[i]Write what you know, as they say. So, where were we before we got sidetracked?[/i]

Pika: "I believe he was referring to me...and then, this...darkness sprung forth from me. See, I HAD amnesia, at the time, but as it turns out, once I was purified of this dark matter, I remembered that I was Pika, and my family, and all that junk. and THEN I was all happy and energetic, and stuff. Before that, I was kinda...eh, depressing, I guess."

...Man, I just NOW got all your messages from up to eight minutes ago...

[i]Same

Skype effed up[/i]

Sable: "...If it counts for anything, it turns out I'm bisexual."

Yeah, guess it just...happens.

(Sable: "...Wait, why did Xeno copy-paste that bit about Skype?")

(Alex: "For consistency, me thinks.")

(Sable: "...Carry on, then.")

Shao the Mienshao: "Can we hear more story, now?"

Howitzer: "But...shouldn'ta we be worried about knowing stuff that appans' nine years form now...ya know, chingi'n tha futur?

[i]Kohera: I pissed off a time elemental by trying that out.[/i]

Shao: "...As much as I love you, How, you have GOT to drop that ridiculous accent..."

Xelbas: "...Is now a good time to mention that I'm a God of Time, then?"

[i]Yes. And Kohera is a 5000 years old Chronomancers. That should be good to mention too[/i]

Sable: "Heh, trust me, I've interferred with the timestrem more times than the powerpuff girls have saved the day. Don't worry, you guys'll be fine."

Chester: "Where were we?"

[i]Kohera: Lucky you're not in my world, then. You get killed for messing with the timestream over here. And something about a robotic Scizors.[/i]

Sheila the Sneasel: "The part where you were transferred to the Deltine Guold and met Guildmaster Faris, and where I was transferred back to the Chronopolis Guild, I think.

Sable: "Heh, yeah....that reminds me, Sheila...we have a common ancestor, and all, right?"

Sheila: "...We'll get into that later."

Pika: "So, it was the five of us- Me, Nana, Fehn, Frank, and Chester. We were able to explore the Deltine Desert, and uncovered a Skull Fossil-"

Sable: "WAIT! Then, it was just SIX kids born nine years ago, not seven!"

[i]Seven sounds better on paper[/i]

Kelm the Smeargle I keep forgetting about, but don't forget ever since I remembered I forgot about him: "...A-hem."

Sable: "...You barely count, though."

[i]Lavolta: Hah! Sounds like a chump, then.[/i]

Nana: "So, after we found the fossil, this Sandslash comes running up to us, and just steals it put of our hands! And he heads westwards, in the direction of a tower of sand...and not far from the Mana temple of Earth..."

*BEEP BEEP*

Oh, and that buzzer means that time is UP! Don't worry, this story shall continue tomorrow. STAY TUNED!

Garvanni the Excadrill: "...You will regret immensely for not getting to my part sooner..."

[i]Who will?[/i]

Garvanni: "...I dunno, that guy over there, or something."

Teleos the Computational Aegislash: <I CAN ASSURE YOU, I AM NO "GUY". BESIDES, I DON'T EVEN HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THIS STORY IN PARTICULAR...>

So, I guess we'll pick up where we left off tomorrow?

[i]Yup, we will[/i]

(THE NEXT DAY)

[i]Hello[/i]

Oh, hi!

(Skipping a bit ahead here, some personal small talk, and all that)

Alex: "You know, Xeno, speaking of, ya never mentioned Mewthree!"

Cyan: "Eh? Oh yeah, guess I forgot."

[i]Mewthree? That sounds ominous.[/i]

Sable: "If I remember correctly, Mewthree was an experimental pokemon created in the genetics lab of Metropolis, before it fused into Chronis. He was this Black Mega Mewtwo Y that was...sorta a fusion with Yami. It's a weird thing to describe. He sorta becomes a bot relevant later on."

(There's a...good explanation for all the Okami references. But...it's kind of a flimsy one, so again, glossing over it.)

And remember, this was before Mega Evolution was explained as a concept.

[i]Makes sense

So, why do most Pokémon that are experimented with turn black?[/i]

Sable: "Well...hmm. Not all of them. I remember one experimented on, a Lucario named Ryku, whom was turned Yellow (and electric-type), and equipped with a chain that surrounded her and was fed through a portal both above and below her. It was said to go on for infinity...it could even contract around her, creating a strong protective shield. She was known as Altair as a result of this odd experimentation..."

Ryku the Lucario: "Yeah, it was odd for me...A lot of us whom sailed from Blankis were experimented on in Atmos...Faris was the only exception, being the only one not to be taken there..."

(A few others experimented on included a Chraizard renamed Orion, and a Grovyle renamed Vega (who had ties to a Mystery Dungeon group that existed ten years before Cyan, whose leader was a Blaziken of noteworthy worth on Blankis).)

[i]Was there at least an Ezio, too?[/i]

Sable: "...Ezio?"

(Skipping over some "BRB" filler...)

Frank: "Though, there aren't any Ezios in this story...but something tells me you might Sheila, or possibly her son, Samson, but that's a bit more into the story."

Fehn: "Now, there we were at this tower of sand...it was a group of desert thugs, who once worked as Faris's pirate crew, their leader being..."

Yamcha: "My father, Garvanni."

Yamcha: "You see, I was the one who took the fossil, being a lowly bandit who's only claim to fame was being the leader's son. Though, something that separates me from the heroes of this story...I'm 20, ten years older than them."

Pika: "Oh, but you were kinda sweet! If not gruff."

[i]Older means more experience, too[/i]

Nana: "See, after we dealt with these guys and got our fossil back, we had to fight Garvanni to the death...but that wasn't the last we heard of him...oh, far from it..."

[i]Death doesn't seem very final in this story[/i]

Yamcha: "Anyways, I gave the fossil back, and....having nowhere else to go, I traveled with these kids in whatever quest they were going on about. I suppose soon afterwards, we got word of something going down near the Mana Temple of Earth, and it appeared Faris's Guild Partner, Molcus, had gone missing..."

Nana: "We went through the mining operation apparently being set up by The aforementioned Beelzebub, not knowing his responsibility in all this, but were too late. The Mana Seed of Earth had been destroyed...by Molcus! He attacked us, and...then...a great demon of Earth, Xanatos came forth from him! It was apparently possessing him...heck, it was the same thing possessing Pika, apparently."

Chester: "So, we ended up going back to the Guild, with Molcus in tow...we explained what occured there, and found out of Atmos's involvement in the plot. Faris, worried, sent us to the direction of the Acinetos Guild, headed by Shao and Howitzer. And on the way, we came face-to-face with the Scizor of the future again...though this time, he had explained to us a bit of what was going on."

[i]Was it still cryptic?[/i]

Sebastian the Scizor: "Nah, I always kinda hated that style. I was rather blunt, in fact."

[i]Good.[/i]

Frank: "We found out that his name was Sebastian, and that he had come from 100 years in the future. Apparently, a great meteor was to hit the Earth, summoned forth by Beelzebub. With all the Mana seeds destroyed by then, there was no hope...We resolved to stop this from occuring."

Chester: "I forget, did he explain that THEN, or at Atmos?"

Fehn: "It was at SOME point in the story, I assure you."

Yamcha: "So, on the way to Xaoli, the City of fighting types, we stopped over in Midgard, to revive the Skull Fossil we had received, at the Silph. Co. Building."

Rocky the Rampardos: "That when Rocky was reborn!"

Yamcha: "Yes...he sorta died millions of years ago, though he was roughly the same age as the other kids...but...there was something...odd about the company. Though, the Dark Mana Seed was more important. We headed towards the Acinetos Guild and told Shao of what was to be, and we headed towards where the Mana Temple of Darkness was, where there was a mining operations headed by the Silph. Company."

(Alright, extra addendum: Rocky died when the original meteor fell to Mysidia. His childhood love, an Archen, died as well...but her fossil wasn't found and revived until many years later...)

Frank: "But we were too late. It was apparently destroyed...and by Those working for Silph. Apparently, they and Beelzebub had been in cahoots, or something. It's...kind of hard to remember exact details..."

[i]Why are there so many meteors in your world?[/i]

Sable: "Because Xeno likes to re-use ideas a lot. You'll also be seeing a LOT of possession. And in my case, LOTS of Amnesia."

Fehn: "So, we headed into the building, and confronted the head honcho in charge...apparently, a POKEMON had taken control of the complex using force...my own mother. And then, coming forth from her, a harsh fire demon named Xanna."

[i]Kit: I wish I could possess people.[/i]

"We battles this demon, and I finally had some time with my mother...for now. But over in Chronopolis, all hell was about to break loose."

Chester: "Oh, SHOOT! We forgot to mention that the Mana Seed of Mana...or trees, or nature, or something like that, was destroyed fifth, when we were still in Blankis."

Frank: "Heh, I guess Xeno up there forgot some details..."

[i]Becoming rather normal at this point to have details be glossed over[/i]

Sheila: "And now comes my part of the story. So, I was there in Chronopolis, in the Guild headed by Guildmaster Cid, when all of a sudden, the continent should come under attack by a Mana Dragon! Of course, Sebastian came in at the last moment and saved us all. He, of course, explained to me what he explained to the others..."

Frank: "Oh, we should probably mention that said Mana dragon was Zachlera being possessed by a demon of water, Xande...said demon left her body, and entered-"

[i]These demons have really nothing better to do?[/i]

Sheila: "The body of my beloved, Dyluck, the...um, Golduck. Yeah, I know the name is punny. Anyway, we battled with the demon, but in the end, we failed...the Mana Seed of Luna was destroyed, meaning all the Mana Seed had been destroyed. Of course, now the world was truly doomed..."

Fehn: "There's actually an interesting story behind those demons, one that breaches the very fabric of time and space...We'll explain in a few more dozen pages."

Chester: "So we, not sure of what else to do, had tried going into the very center of this grand conspiracy...Atmos, ruled by the once-Chancellor, now Emperor Beelzebub."

[i]Did he attack you with an army of flies?[/i]

Frank: "Unsurprisingly, we were caught rather fast, and sent to the dungeon. That was when we learned of a rather sinister plot: he was going to use the great weapon once used on Chronis, in order to destroy it once more, instilling war between Humans and Pokemon."

Rocky: "No, no flies."

Frank: "I was the only one not imprisoned, for I was Hojo's son. Me and an old mysidian friend of mine, Kelm the Smeargle, set off to rescue our friends from the dungeons, also freeing the captured prior emperor, Cyan's brother, in the process."

Cyan: "You know, he HAS a name."

Rocky: "And name is...?"

Cyan: "...I think it was Carl."

(Azul the Dewott: "Uhm, to clarify, my name is NOT Carl. It's AZUL. So...you're still gonna refer to me as "Cyan's brother", aren't you? Pssh.)

Fehn: "So, after we were freed, we stormed the Atmos Palace, and engaged in battle with the Court Psychic, Lyon the Xatu...Nana's older brother."

Frank: "...And yes, he was possessed by an evil demon, too. One of air. I think he was called...Xaldin?"

(Now that I think about it, It was actually Xalgo, but I couldn't resist the reference here.)

Chester: "We then faced off against Beelzebub, who had used some of the leftover power of the Frozen Flame to become incredibly powerful...it was a hard battle, but we won nevertheless."

Frank: "But it was hardly over. Somehow, the great weapon was still to be fired at Chronopolis. We had to fight off YET ANOTHER DEMON, this one possessing Cyan...I think it was a dark demon of Light, Xarvis, or something."

Sheila: "The eight of us had quite the batle then. I think we had to fight Garvanni again at that point...but this time, he was a SHINY Excadrill-"

Yamcha: "Oh, right, forgot to mention he was an Excadrill."

Rocky: "Oh, and he was SIX FEET TALL! Rocky was surprised."

Fehn: "Yes, anyways...I think after that, we did the most sensible thing we could...head to the Mana Tree, and see if we couldn't possibly bring the Mana Seeds back from destruction."

Chester: "And guess what? We did! Though, things got a bit trippy..."

[i]Dark demon of Light? Isn't that an oxymoron?[/i]

Sebastian: "I should probably mention that at this point, I was assisting our puny heores in their quest. Oh, and I guess I should've mentioned that the only way I could've travelled back in tome was through a robot body, so...yeah. Yay, Earthbound References."

Yamcha: "It's a well-know fact that oxymorons sound more evil."

[i]This is still mixing way too many game references.[/i]

I did say I was telling this mostly to myself, at first...though, That is an understandable complaint.

I find making them references makes them just a tad easier to remember...but hey, that's just me.

Fehn: "Well, we've all complained about Xeno's misgivings in that department. Don't worry, we...well, he gets what's coming. Now, then, perhaps I should mention the Polarian Guild, headed by Zachlera and Giegue, was our last stop before arriving at the Mana Tree. And of course, when we get there, whom should we meet but Garvanni. AGAIN."

Chespin: "Yeah, that guy certainly was persistent. So, we ended up having to face off against him, and...of course, we...uhm, this is gonna sound weird, but I think we somehow ended up in the dreams of the center of the planet, an odd realm of energy."

Fehn: "It was there that we met up against my long-lost father...and...well, we never met again after that."

[i]Your father is in a dream in the center of the planet?[/i]

Fehn: "I hesitate to use the terminology "Magicant". Maybe I could call it..."The Lifestream"?"

Sable: "You know, now that I think about it, I think Xeno was INTENDING to make this a referencial story, at first...but hey, that's in the past, I guess."

Chester: "BUT, we were able to restore the Mana Seeds to their rightful energies! And then...well, this weird tower just...sprung up from the vast ocean between Blankis, Chronopolis, and Atmos!"

Sheila: "It was aptly named "The Tower of Destiny". And, at the top of that tower, was supposedly an Arceus, which could help us with this plight..."

Yamcha: "It turns out, when we got to the Mana Tree before, we learned the Garvanni was to summon the Meteor, giving us only ten days to stop it upon arrival. We sought this "Arceus" for guidance."

Chester: "And, of course, my own father was the one to guide us to it's peak!"

Fehn: "See, all three of our fathers- Hojo...Chester's father, a Breloom, and My father, an Arcanine, were the ones to set off to find a cure for us...but My father ended up...you know, Chester's father went into isolation in Atmos, and Frank's father...well, they say he went into insanity."

Frank: "And I should probably mention this, but my father went off after the occurences of what occured at Atmos."

Chester: "So, we reach the top of the tower, and thus, we come into contact with Arceus...and boy, do we learn a thing or two...it wasn't Garvanni's fault the Meteor was going to fall upon our world, nor was it Beelzebub's...it was...the work of Iblis."

[i]The Iblis Trigger? Wait, never mind.[/i]

Yamcha: "You remember that thing Samantha said about the machine, right? With the Lavos, and such?"

Sable: "Funnily enough, Xeno's never played Sonic 06. Possibly for the better."

[i]Definitely for the better.[/i]

Iblis the Re-Creator and Living Seal: "Actually, I'd like to vouch for a re-name. Please, call me...Yaldabaoth."

[i]That's a really weird name[/i]

*Yaldabouth is now, always was, and always will be called Yaldabouth.*

I think it's something referring to "false god".

[i]Kit: My full name is Kitiara. Doesn't it sound masculine?[/i]

Fehn: "Very much so..."

(More "BRB" filler, nothing to see here, moving along now)

And boy, do I have quite the story on Ibl- er, YALDABAOTH's origins...

[i]Lynn: Speaking of manly names...[/i]

Sebastian: "See, at the very beginning of the first Universe, there was this war on a mysterious Planet. And this one guy built a machine, and had his youngest son, Yaldabaoth, pilot it...I think Samantha mentioned the rest. Of course, there was Yadabaoth's older brother, Theodore, who had grown jealous....and when this First Universe was destroyed, Theodore's spirit remained, and was trapped by Yaldabaoth...and every time Theodore was nearing escape, Ya
Dabaoth, having not the power to fight back, would have to destroy and re-create the Universe every time..and Theodore was once again nearing escape. And so, a decision would be made to reset the Universe...but for now, Yaldabaoth was only concerned with eradicating Mysidia, for defying his strength."

Chester: "Oh, and my father was possessed by this dark demon, Xehanort, so we had to kill him. It was kinda sad, too."

Sable: "...You...kinda glossed over that point. Rather...suddenly, too."

Chester: "Okay, so, you see, I had TWO fathers- my adoptive father, Horus, who adopted me when my real father went missing, and I was raised by him at his Guild in Forestia, and my real father, whom was that aforementioned Breloom."

Yamcha: "But enough about that. We were told our only hope of survival was to gather the eight mystical instruments in order to awaken Rayquaza from his long slumber, and destroy the meteor before it could destroy our planet once again, like in the days of old..."

Sheila: "Of course, along those ten days, we certainly had our share of revelation...I found out who my real parents were...A Lucario, a being of digital origin (now THAT ONE'S a long story...it ties into something that happens a bit later down the road, of course.), who was...I hesitate to say this, but...uhm...well-"

Sable: "Her dad was [*creaking noises*] by a wild Weavile. And that's how she was born."

(This Lucario was also Sable's ancestor...long story.)

Sheila: *blushing* "H-Hey! Just because we're cousins, doesn't mean you can just...say that..."

Yamcha: "In any case, a kindly Frosslass in a lonely manor on Polaria, took her in, and raised her as her own. That Froslass...she had quite a story of her own...but we'll get to that when discussing Sable's story."

Rocky: "So, we eight, chosen by the planet, set off to eight locations scattered about the planet, and sought to save it, once and for all..."

[i]Ok, so demons have the names of Nobodies and Xehanort, and Rayquaza is now the Wind Fish?[/i]

(I never specifically stated it, but yes, the Song of Awakening was the actual song the instruments would play when used together. So yeah...pretty close to the mark, there.)

Sable: "Heh, sorry for that.

Frank: "The Aqua Monica, protected by Kyogre in the great seas..."

Fehn: "The Fiery Drum, protected by Moltres, of the Volcano of Atmos..."

Chester: "The Grass Cornet, protected by Celebii, deep in Forestia's forests..."

Sheila: "The Icy Flute, in the frozen tundras just outside Chronopolis..."

Rocky: "The Rock Horn, guarded by Giratina..."

Yamcha: "The Terra Cymbol, kept by Groudon in Deltine's deserts..."

Pika: "The Electric Guitar, held by Zapdos in the Thunder Mountains of Blankis!"

Nana: "And the Sky Melodica, held by Rayquaza himself..."

[i]Electric guitar sounds pretty normal to me[/i]

Sable: "Wait, but I thought you said that Rayquaza was asleep?"

Nana: "....Huh. Actually, I think my brother Lyon already had that."

[i]Lyon like the city?[/i]

Alex: "No, Lyon like that one tragic (and POSSESSSED) sorcerer dude from Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones."

Chester: "So, we awakened Rayquaza, and we flew towards the Meteor...and with the power of the eight treasures, we managed to destroy it for good."

Fehn: "But there was something lying inside..."

Frank: "For within the meteor...was the machine from the Planet Styx..."

Chester: "....Being used by Mewthree."

Yamcha: "But hey, we dealt with that loser relatively well. And...well, that's where things got a little weird."

[i]Is there anything that isn't weird?[/i]

Pika: "Yeah...after that, we apparently went to the planet that the Pokemon games take place in. Weird."

Nana: "And filler."

[i]So... Earth?[/i]

Pika: "Yeah, not really a lot of interesting stuff happened at that point for a while..."

Frank: "Well, there WAS a bit. We faced off against my father while in Johto, where he took control of a Lugia, and turned it dark, trying to use it to destroy is once and for all...we battled him to the death, there..."

Pika: "And we faced off against that planet's "Lavos", which took the form of a shiny Deoxys named "Jenova", which we battled within the pits of the Meteor Falls of Hoenn."

Yamcha: "Not much else to describe for that point in the story...but we did eventually come back to Mysidia."

[i]Did this Deoxys have a kid named Sephiroth?[/i]

Alex: "No, but Hojo did have a kid named Frank."

Frank: "...I can see why Cyan was trying to stab you off-screen."

[i]Hey, I like having Alex around[/i]

Alex: "Heh, I like me, too. Don't worry, I'll get to tell you ALL about me and my life when these tykes are done explaining.

Nana: "So, to make a long story short, we went back to Atmos, and...well, Rayquaza gifted us with the power of evolution, just as he had done for the previous heroes ten years prior. Given that there was no information on Frodagier, Quilladin, or Braixen back then, we were given fan-evolutions, but I guess that part's been ret-conned, just like the part with Yaldabaoth.

Frank: "Oh, and Rayquaza died."

[i]Aww. Poor Wind Fi- I mean, Rayquaza.[/i]

Fehn: "Oh, but...it turns out, Cyan REAL father was not the same as his brother's father...because....Cyan's REAL father was the Rayquaza."

Chester: "But don't worry, Rayquaza gets reborn ten years from then...which is about 19 years from now. Confused yet?"

[i]But... Then who's the mother?[/i]

Klonoa: "Hey, I TOLD YA time skipiing would be confusing."

Zip it, Klonoa. You're not even in this story.

(Okay, confession time: He WAS in the story. Though, his role is entirely negligible, and...well, a bit later on in the story, it spawned a fan character I'm not ENTIRELY proud of..I think that's enough on that subject.)

Oh, the mother? I think it was a Samurott...but, she died, or something.

[i]Well, alright.[/i]

Nana: "Okay, so skipping ahead, we used the Ark of Yamato to fly to the center of the Universe, where Yaldabaoth and his Machine lay...but I knew something the others didn't...visions of us being absolutely destroyed...and even if we did win, well..."

[i]That doesn't sound like a pleasant vision[/i]

Pika: "Destroying Yaldabaoth would rid the Universe of all Lavosites, and all power that they had...since it was the power of the Frozen Flame that had kept Chester, Frank, and Fehn alive, it was likely that if Yaldabaoth died, so would they..."

Fehn: "It was a long struggle to get to him, but we finally did...and, after a very one-sided battle...well..."

Yamcha: "GARVANNI LITERALLY RUNS IN, JUMPS UP TO YALDABAOTH, KILLS HIM IN ONE BLOW, AND TAKES OVER HIS GOD-MACHINE."

[i]That guy's bada*rse*[/i]

Nana: "Apparently, his being possessed by a greater entity made him unseen to any sort of future sight."

Rocky: "This entity possessing him, though, was not related to Theodore..."

Sheila: "Speaking of, Those demons from earlier? They were under the control of Yaldabaoth. Just for reference."

Fehn: "So, after we were strengthened by the power of the same odd being who gave power to Cyan in his time of need, we battled Garvanni in a clash defying space and time...we were literally fighting the very god of the world...and somehow, by some miracle...we won."

Frank: "But more amazingly...we (Fehn, Chester, and I) lived. I still don't know just how...but we did."

Chester: "And so, the god machine destroyed, we went back to Mysidia to celebrate. Or, at least, we were going to...but...well, there was still the matter of-"

Zack: "Immorphinity."

[i]Lavolta: The **** is immorphinity?[/i]

Zack the Lucario: "Yeah, I...probably should explain myself. I, and three of my friends, had come from a virtual existence, and we...well, we sorta came outta nowhere to help in this one final battle."

Rick the Zoroark: "Yeah, us four are shiny, too, but that's not important. Now, as for "Immorphinity"..."

Lee the Mienshao: "He was a "creation" of Theodore's, in order to help him escape his banishment...but Immorphinity eventually just destroyed him, and so, the two had somehow become synnonimous with one another. It's kinda confusing, really."

Paula the Gardevoir: "Needless to say, "Immprphinity" was the foul being who possessed Garvanni in the first place, and he was succeeding in his escape...so, after one last fierce battle, we re-sealed him inn Yaldabaoth's place, and the Universe didn't have to be destroyed..."

[i]Lavolta: I'm so lost. But at least there's action.[/i]

(There is a story of Zack, Rick, Paula, and Lee which exists, known as "Gaiden of Mana". Though, in terms of it being it's own story, it intertwines a LOT with some seemingly-unrelated tale, so told here was only the relevant bits and pieces, in accordance to this story. If it's worth mentioning, though, Lee excelled in "Glitch-Fu". I had fun coming up with that term, for some reason.)

Nana: "And so, on Mysidia, a time of peace had followed...but we twelve always knew he'd try yo escape...but only I knew that the world would son change for the worse in about seven years...when someone would do the inconceivable, and destroy the Mana Tree.

TO BE CONTINUED...?

Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

[Sable-Xeno]

I'm so sorry...I hadn't realized, but a LOT of the third story was cut off...it really WAS "To Be Continued", in a sense.

Sable: "Way to go, Xeno."

...Just...shut up and enjoy the third story, already.

Sable: "Nah, we're just joshin'.

Alex: Fair warning: this last story is LONG. And REALLY TIMEY-WIMEY."

[i]Kit: So what happens if someone destroys the Mana Tree?[/i]

Samantha: "You'll find out...and it's not pretty."

Sable: "Cyan's story, when measured in chapters, totals to three chapters. Chester, Frank, and Fehn's story is Four chapters total. And Mine? My story is a whopping ten chapters long. But it had quite a bit more filler....but point here is, it's LONG."

[i]Will this version skip the filler?[/i]

Sable: "Yes. Okay then..."

"See, seven years after the events that transpired with the Advent Children, a mysterious entity would try to destroy the tree of Mana. Over the course of those seven years, he wielded the Mana Sword, staining it in the blood of hundreds of thousands of innocennt People and Pokemon. It became something....foul, indeed. Some would even call it the Blood Sword in it's rather pitiful state. And in this time, Zapdos, Articuno, and Moltres. Had begun to rampage across the Planet, hinting of the looming danger.

In the sword's unholy state, he used it to chop down the great tree, and doomed all life. Zachlera, the great Mana dragon, went on a horrendous rampage, and the mysterious swordsman went off, killing many prominent warriors, only leaving their poor, pitiful children in his wake. These children were forced to grow up in a ruined world, ravaged by monsters, and little hope to cling to..."

[i]Kit: Man, I wish I could have done that instead.[/i]

Priam the Blaziken: "Well, yes, those times were rough, but we certainly had each other, I would say. Right?"

Balthier the Braviary: "True, but we didn't ALL know each other. Remember the first time you met Sable?....or the second?"

Priam: "How was I to know he had such power, at the time? Man, he was such a shrimp back then!"

Alex: "Yes, but he and I always had Xeno's divine protection...but none of us knew that at the time."

Sable: "Right. And hey, maybe someday I could tell Final of this story...if he found a summation to be nice, imagine his thoughts to a whole Epic?"

(And hey, if you're reading this now, well, props to you, I guess. :U)

Alex: "You really do like Final, eh? You know, for a fictional Pokemon, you sure have sentimental attraction to real humans."

Sable: "...Says the Pokemon dating one."

Seliph the Samurott: "Can we get back on topic, please?"

[i]Kit: Yes. It was getting quite fun. Actually, I'm jealous of that guy. I can't go ruining all life like that because of my curse.[/i]

Seliph: "Before we begin, let me introduce you to the characters relevant here, so we needn't stop the story for recaps..."

[i]Mortal: Sounds good[/i]

Seliph: "I, Seliph, am the son of Cyan, as is my sister, Samantha the Zangoose."

Samantha: "We also had a brother...or, never had, because of how events played out. See, I was to have a younger brother, a white Rayquaza, but our parents died before he was destined to be born."

Bradley the Druddigon: "Hey, how'sabout me? Name's Bradley. I've been viewed as somewhat of a slob, and sometimes even a drunk, but I live for my friends, and die for my friends, all the same. So what if I'm not smart?"

[i]Lavolta: That's a creed I can get behind. Though I'm not a slob.[/i]

Gunpeng the Croagunk: "Pfft. Smarts are EVERYTHING in this deadweight world. It's not good for anything but resources. Why, even my EXISTENCE on it means nothing in the grand scheme of things. So what if I've developed the best mechs around? Dad was always telling me I should focus on my martial arts, but what does that stuck-up Mienshoa know?"

Li the Mienshoa: "For the similarities between my mother and your father, we don't seem to share much...not that I care. I was never into fighting, anyway. Personally, I prefer the dark arts. I've always been content with my forbidden magic...since Sable never. Really cared for me in that way I thought I cared for him...so, why should I care?"

[i]Shanam: My brother's a lot smarter than I am, but I'm still stronger than he is.[/i]

Morgan: "Geez, you two....you sure had it out when you guys first met, and you still do...me? I'm just some humble Human kid....Mark's, specifically...and you don't see me complaining! Sure, I kind of have this power to be any Ghost-type Pokemon of my choosing..."

[i]Mortal: "Just a human kid", you say.[/i]

Rose the Lilligant: "I still think that's a weird power. Anyways, my name's Rose! Gentlest healer you'll ever find~...well, if. You don't know me, anyways. Really, I tend to be a bit irritable. Can't tell if I got that from my father, Chester, or not...HEY! INIGO! PUT THAT DOWN!"

Inigo the Milotic: "What? I can't have any snacks? So yeah, you'd think that as Frank's son, I'd be, like, super-smart, eh? Well, guess it skipped a generation cause all I have on MY mind is the ladies~...too bad most of them think I'm a female..."

Samson the Sneasel: "Think that's bad?...I grew up all my life, being told I'm "special"...everyone thought I was a girl, though....because I'm shiny. In other words, I'm pink. Hecnce the batte armor I wear near-constantly. Man, I'd go crazy if it weren't for...actually, no, I've already BEEN driven crazy by-"

Alex the Zoroark: "By ME! Yeah, I'm sort of the prankster of the group. But under all this joking, I'm actually quite the considerate guy. Oh, and I break the fourth wall a lot. Plus, I have this odd ability over illusions...but you knew that already, right?"

[i]Yes, I did.[/i]

(Just a reminder here, for those not in the know: we're referring to the fact that he can maniplulate the surrounding space and matter of the nearby area to convert it into something completely different. Ergo, "real" illusions.)

Nuvel the Ninetails: "All this talk of yourselves, and you haven't even xplained the story! Me being the smart one, I'll say a bit on the matter. See, we come from 31 years in the future, which is about 15 years after "the event", as it's come to be known. Now, as this chart shows...wait..?my chart! WHERE IS IT! I NEED THAT CHART!"

Priam the Blaziken: "Heh, she gets that from her mother, Fehn. Now I? I...well, see, in a way-too-confusing-to-explain-way, my grandfather was that Black Blaziken...no, not the Emperor one, the evil one. I wield this greataxe of War, the WolfBerg, in order to make a name for myself as a great hero..."The Scion of the Redeemer", they shall call me, as I fell evil monsters with my weapon!"

[i]Teliah the Time Elemental: Damn you guys and your time traveling. If it was in my world, you would all be dead by now.[/i]

Yarne the Lopunny: "Yeah...he has his Axe, Nuvel has magics, Inigo has that spear of his, and Balthier with that bow and arrow...me? I just got myself....and personally, I'm just scared for my life! So I'm a coward. Can you blame me it's how I lived so long!"

Xelbas: "Heh. Yeah, I can imagine...we really must get together for tea sometime."

Balthier: "Well, have you guys ever tried aiming an arrow mid-flight? It isn't easy, not at all...but I don't complain."

[i]Ruby: I can do it easily![/i]

Garcia the Excadrill: "Well, you've never had much to complain ABOUT. I mean,  just look at me...all you guys, trying to help, and I...well, I created evil clones of a few of you behind your backs, and then I screw up your plans to save the future...I don't know if I'll ever forgive myself for the things. immorphinity made me do under his possession..."

Lucifer the Rhydon: "Rest assured, my child, it was naught your fault. I do believe the great father above, Xeno, has long forgiven your actions, just as much as he hath written them. Me, though...I'll always be pained by the memory of my three sisters dying, which os why I turned myself to Holy Magic..."

[i]Teliah: That's not how you use naught, though...[/i]

Xanza the Xatu: "Heh. Well, I had no easy life, myself. For one, I almost died once. Though, the replacement eye I had granted me far greater powers than ever necessary....to be able to see into the possible outcome pf literally any existence...more a blessing, than a curse..."

Monica the Chatot: "Well, ain't this a happy reunion of our own? Seems like the whole gang's here to recount this tale. Hell, I don't think Xeno ONCE mentioned me on the shoutbox."

Xanza: "Well, unlike me, you didn't appeal to anyone. We've all appealed to someone at some point. I appeal to Daemyn, Sable appeals to Final and ALOIYD, and Alex appeals to Di Gi, and Naoya here. We've all found our niche...to some degree."

Inigo: "I'm tellin' ya, guys, I'm THIS close to being brought out of obscurity. I mean, I have quite a bit going for me...almost as much as Samson!"

Sable: "Guys...can we get back on topic?"

Gallahad: "Sure, as soon as you mention me, dummy."

Sable: "Oh, right. Yes, this is...my brother."

[i]Sir Gallahad the race horse!

Wait, sorry.

Never mind[/i]

Gallahad the Gallade: "Yep, I...what? Oh, whatevs. And as you could bet, I taught Sable all I knew as a Swordsman. It's where he gets his technique with Sabres from."

[i]I wonder which of my characters will appeal to Xeno, though.[/i]

(Spoiler alert: It's a tie between Kit and Mortal.)

Sable: "Indeed. You know, that was one heck of a day, though, wasn't it? For all of us....it was the first time I met a lot of you. We came from all over the globe, as pf Seliph's wishes. Though, I definitely already knew Gallahad, Li, and..."

Megan: "Me?"

Sable: *blushing* "Right...you..."

Megan the Lucario: "Yep, me and my Hydreigon. You know, we haven't....spoken in a while. I know your heart belongs to another, but...you never come to visit any of us. I missed you..."

[i]Mortal: Hey, not to interrupt but... I wonder if there's a version of me in your world. There seems to be a version of me in every world.[/i]

Sable: "Yes...there is something you may need to know. See, when we tried going back fifteen years, something horrible had happened, and we were all scattered across time...I ended up about two years before "The Event", but what's worse, I had amnesia..."

Sable: "That's a good question. Which is why I now let Xeno explain."

(WARNING: INCOMING DEBATABLE EXPLANATION OF DIFFERING HEAD-CANONS)

Thank you. Now, see, there IS a version of you in every world...that has a relation to your "head canon". Whether others of you exist in other's "head canons" is entirely up to them to decide, but it's entirely possible. For instance, I know of a friend who has a certain character- "Dragora"- a 7 trillion-old being whom existed before the Universe, and in various amounts of said person's created stories...But none of this necessarily has to apply to the stories I've written. Canon characters, however, are free to be in any "head canon" they choose, as they are well-known enough for such an existance. (Confusing, I know.)

In short, probably, but possibly as a different "visualization".

Sable: "As I was saying, I ended up with amnesia...but I met a maiden, fair and true. Her name, it was..."

[i]Mortal: That's quite fine. I'm normally half-demon, but in one world I'm a cat while in another I'm a Newtype piloting a Gundam. I'm... Versatile.[/i]

Violet the Jolteon: "Violet. Yes, I took in the amnesiacal Sable, and we lived a good time together. Though, one day, two years later, we would explore an odd mine shaft, said to be the location of several Evolutionary stones. We reached the bottom, and Sable chose for me to use a Thunderstone. Though, we came upon this weird vortex, and were sucked in..."

Oh, ahould probably mention this is taking place in the Acinetos Mountains.

[i]The correct term would be the amnesiac Sable.[/i]

Sable: "pfft."

(BRB.)

(Okay, this "BRB" isn't technically filler, so just roll with it)

[i](Alright)

Mortal: Actually, while you're away, let me say a few fun facts. Here's a disclaimer first, however; Naoya doesn't like the Pokémon series, but he used to. Back when he did, he had an Umbreon he named Mortal-

Drake: And an Espeon called Drake!

Mortal: Er... Yes. Those two used to be his favorite Pokémon, and he quickly raised them to level 100, the only two Pokémon he ever maxed out. So if I was to be in a world full of Pokémon it wouldn't be a stretch for me to be some form of Umbreon.[/i]

Sable: "Interesting....Huh, I bet Xeno feels like a dunce of some sort now, huh?"

Hey, I'm happy to be able to tell ANYONE this story fully. Besides, maybe I might....I dunno, strenuously copy/paste several parts of this message to the Forums, so other people can get a much better idea behind the concept of Mysidia, as copyright-laden as it is. With Naoya's permission, of course.

[i]I don't mind.[/i]

(SPOILER ALERT! I do exactly that.)

Violet: "And hey, it's always nice to be around other Eeveelutions."

[i]Mortal: I'm sure Umbreon-me will like having fellow Eeveelutions as friends, too. Just take good care of him, us Mortals have a tendency to chase down villains with an almost suicidal lack of restraint.[/i]

Sable: "So, where were we...ah, yes, that portal! See, it was apparently a Time Portal, which had laid dormant for several years, but it could otherwise only be opened with a certain power...I didn't know it at the time, but...see...I have the ability to manipulate and control distortions in time. I would eventually be able to control time freely, but that wan't for a good while longer."

Violet: "Don't be surprised if Xeno incorporates Umbreon-you into a side story. Anyways, we had explored this cave that we found ourselves in, rich in evolutionary stone deposits, and found our way out, and to where Midgard would normally be...except, there was nothing there..."

(Fun Fact: there were originally Dwarves that lived in said cave in the time period Sable ended up in, but considereing the POKEMON-esque necessity of that, said Dwarves have since been retconned. There IS, however, a castle of ancient wepons that lie near to this place, called "Anthropos Palace". It had apparently been buried by the time of the present, but is re-emerged a few centuries later. It's less plot-significant and more of a neat little "side-quest" that involved some back-and-forth time travel...it wasn't anything major, really.)

[i]Mortal: I wouldn't mind.

Just make sure to tell me about it so we can work on it together, so as to keep him in-character.[/i]

Priam: "Nothing but I, THE GREAT WARRIOR! I explained to the puny White Lucario that I...er, didn't recongnize very well, that we were in the year 1630, 400 years before the event!"

Alex: "Most he'll do would probably ask for specific characteristics, to...um, imagine him, though I would make sure he'd not do so without your permission. And hey, if you want, there are those two RPs Xeno's participating in...He'll likely bring them up later."

(ADVERTISING INTENSIFIES)

Priam: "There was no Midgard, because it was yet to exist! But fortunately for us, there was a portal nearby, that took us back to the present!"

[i]Don't worry, I can review it afterwards and say if anything needs changing. Also, don't forget that I'm really into 1-on-1 RPs, if you're ever interested in that.

Teliah: These time traveling shenanigans will drive me nuts at some point.[/i]

(Sadly, my memory of what happens in this particular instance of the story gets...a little fuzzy, but I'll try to recall this as best as I can.)

Sable: "I think the story went into multiple parts at this point. I mean, I recall a LOT of stuff happening at once. But I feel since it's closest to where we are, I remember going into the Silph. Co. Building at one point. Something to note on this time period, was that People and Pokemon were NOT on good terms. After Beelzebub's desire to take control of the human race, and declare Pokemon superior, humans had a rather negative outlook on Pokemon in general, often desiring them to go into slavery, or worse. There was one person whom collected such pokemon to be re-sold for such a purpose- Hunter J. She used an odd gun that turned Pokemon into trophy-based objects, and would sell them for a profit.

(And yes, she's THAT Hunter J.)

Priam: "So, this HUMAN, was turning all these pokemon over to Silph Co., for some nefarious reasons, and who should be a victim of this, but Li?"

[i]Were those trophies made to fight trophies of plumbers and dinosaurs?[/i]

Sable: "Oddly enough, this is a DIFFERENT kind of trohoy gun thing. It has something to do with the Pokemon Anime....I think."

Li: "It...was not pleasant. But even less pleasant to have to converse with Sable. I knew he had amnesia. But like hell I was gonna speak to him for ditching us like that, whether it was his fault or not."

Priam: "No need to worry for Li's sake, she finds a guy....eventually." *wink*

Li: *awkwardly blushes*

[i]Mortal: ... Sure?[/i]

Sable: "Anyways, I think we may have just left the building after that, though we found out plans on a weapon being designed for-"

Alex: "I'll save you guys the trouble of imagining it, and just say it was the Space Colony ARK. There, happy?"

Sable: "...Anyways, we decided the best course of action was to head to Atmos, to figure some stuff out, and warn Cyan and the others of the timw of the impending apocalype that I apparently forgot about."

[i]The story begins! With who's gonna win! ... Sorry.[/i]

Li: "We did venture over there, bit they seemed to be in a ruckus over the whole "roaming birds" thing, though that's when Xanza came into the picture. He had made sure to warn them pf the future that would happen, should the mysterious swordsman not be stopped."

Sable: "Oh, and I got to witness my own birth. That was pretty fun."

[i]How did you like your baby self?[/i]

Alex: "I do hope you applauded your parents for that."

Sable: "I still had amnesia...but...well, I thought I was pretty cute, for a Riolu. Xanza made sure to tell me of my past, though. He turned out to be a very close friend of mine, once all was said and done."

(Sable: "I forgot to mention this earlier, but while my brother Gallahad was 16, I was originally 1[b]5[/b]. So, since I stayed stuck in the past (relative to my origin tome) for two additional years, I was two years older than everyone else than when we originally left for the past. In other words, my "big" brother became my "little" brother. Isn't time travel swell?)

(Gallahad: "As a result, you got to meet me when I was only two...and you forgot to mention the time our Samantha met this timeline's 6-year old Samantha. That was also fun.)

(Megan: "Now that I think about it, Atmos was where we first re-met, yes? I should mention the Hydreigon I had accompany me was the mother of a Zweilous I took great care of in the future.")

(Sable: "Like I said: isn't time travel swell?)

[i]So, what will you do...

Aboad the Ark, a genius at heart, wanting to unlock the mysteries of life!

... I couldn't resist.[/i]

Li: "This was also when we met Samantha as a young child, since Cyan brought her with him to Atmos."

Sable: "With all the heroes of this time going through the rest of the world to fight off the Legendary birds, we set off towards Chronopolis, where the supposed ARK was being built, and being readied to be launched into space."

[i]But was it Eggman's Master Plan?[/i]

Samson: "That wasn't the ONLY thing they had planned. There was a rather massive fleet of ships, but I managed to take them down. They were to be headed towards Atmos...and I managed to deal with Articuno, too. Cyan had prior dealt with Zapdos, and Moltres was being dealt with elsewhere...and I think some others went to Polaria, I believe. See, there would be only one thing that could quell the birds, and that was the Maiden of the Sea....the Froslass that raised my mother. See, she used to be a human, but...uh, then she died."

(Froslass, only known now as "Water Maiden", died before the worlds separated millions of years ago. And...yeah. Carry on.)

[i]Speaking of Froslasses, I've been wondering for years what kind of insane technicalities I could come up with to end up with a male Froslass.[/i]

Sable: "I think when we got to Chronopolis, we boarded the Space Station that was to be launched. See, something you should know: Atmos's high-technology means that it keeps itself surrounded by a powerful shield, something almost nothing could get through...save a super-mega lazer, possibly from space."

Alex: "Hack the game."

Sable: "..."

[i]That's the coward's way.[/i]

Alex: "Eh, whatever floats your space boat."

(Skipping some filler here about Alex being in that one vid with him in Smash, and jokes about him having a Landmaster...nothing terribly important, moving oni')

(Alex: "Now that I think about it, I COULD force the Froslass to become male, using my illusory powers...)

(Sable: "...")

Sable: "AHEM. Anyway, we were in space, or something, and then I fought something like an android, excetp it turned out to be my brother, Gallahad."

[i]Was it robotic race horse? ... A Robot Unicorn? Ready to Attack?[/i]

Gallahad: "You can practically FEEL the parts of the story Xeno forgot...anyways, I was apparently robotized by those jerks at Silph. Co. There's a really good story on how they were suddenly getting so much influence..."

OH MY GOD ROBOT UNICORN I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.

Sable: "..."

Alex: "..."

Sable: "...Our creator, ladies and gentlemen."

[i]Would you rather have me, who cracks jokes every other minute?[/i]

Alex: "YES! PLEASE, TAKE ME WITH YOU!"

Gallahad: "So, we escaped the space station after deactivating it, and headed to Polaria, or something, and were at the base pf the Mana Tree...the swordsman had already killed Mesprit, Azelf, and Uxie, and...well, we soon found out why he was able to wield the Mana Sword at all.

Cyan: "Only those in my lineage could wield it. And...as it turns out, the wielder was...my own father."

Alex: "The Rayquaza?"

[i]Kit: I still envy that guy. Damn, I got that curse way too early.[/i]

Cyan: "...What? NO! I mean my BROTHER's father."

Alex: "OOOOOOOH. Yeah, that makes more sense."

[i]I'll kidnap you someday, Alex

Mortal: Why are families so confusing in this story anyway?[/i]

Alex: "I would love to see you try."

Li: "I ask myself that ALL the time..."

Cyan: "I forgot his exact name, but I know him as an Infernape...we...we had to kill him. I barely even got to know who he was, or what kind of a man he was...I only knew that he had been influenced by Immorphinity, but only influenced- his actions all those years were his alone..."

(Cyan: I GUESS I should mention we managed to find him alive back in our destroyed reality a little ways ahead in this story. He realized the fault of his actions, and fought alongside us in order to redeem himself.)

[i]Kit: I like that guy.

Mortal: In my world, families are much more... Wait... My father's name is still Grace? What's with guys having really feminine names here?[/i]

Samson: "So, we got the Mana Sword back, but it was just...so vile. And full of impurity. Meanwhile, The Froslass summoned Lugia, calmed the birds, Froslass dissapeared forever, and Lugia also purified the Mana Sword, as well as give something of power to Sable..."

(I forgot what it was, but it allowed him to control his abilities over time...I think.)

THE END.

...No, not really. Trust me, IT GETS EVEN...WELL, WORDIER.

[i]I thought this was too short to be the end[/i]

Now, we begin Chapter 2!...of Ten.

(Actually nine, but whatever)

[i]Huzzah!

Now you just need to add in Tolkien level of details in your story, and you'll really have the longest story ever.[/i]

Sable had been worried that there were still some of his friends missing...even if he barely knew them. Even though they had successively prevented the great disaster, he still had a responsibility to his comrades. And...there was still the matter of Violet. He loved her very much, and....he knew deep down in his heart, that he wanted to stay.

Sable: "Hey, let ME tell the story, thank you."

...you forgot the part where you fought Megan, who ALSO has amnesia.

Sable: "Yeah, you'll be seeing a lot of that here."

(That was back in Atmos, by the way. Though, it may have also been in Chronopolis...I dunno, the details escape me.)

[i]Mortal: Too bad my story is in the process of a complete makeover.[/i]

Sable: "Actually, I've had something of a "revision" happen, but then it was turned into it's own thing that had something to do with Mysidia."

[i]Before this drives me crazy, is it "my-sidia" or "mee-sidia"?[/i]

Clifford the White Lucario that looks identical to Sable: "It's more confusing for me than it is for you, you know..."

Sable: "The second one. Think...pretty much the recurring Final Fantasy location of the same name...yeah, it's THAT bad..."

Alex: "Argh, you guys are stallin'!"

Li: "Okay, Mr. Impatient. Okay, we went back in time 400 years to further look for our friends..."

[i]Mortal: My story was too outdated. My archnemesis was changed completely, Lavolta isn't a Sonic OC anymore, I got my final design, and many parts of the world were changed... My old story just doesn't work anymore, so Naoya is remaking it from the ground up.[/i]

Sable: "This section could be SORTA considered filler, but it had some rather intriguing story-building elements. I'll try to remember them all, if I can."

Alex: "Heh, I wonder if Mysidia will ever get the written story it deserves...I guess this will have to do, though. Still kinda fun enough."

Inigo: "Well, I guess I'll explain that it sorta followed the exploits of four warriors forgotten by history. Uhm, I know one of them was a Keldeo, apparently being one of Cyan's ancestors. He wielded upon his horn the sword of Mana."

[i]Was it... Taped on or something?[/i]

Inigo: "No, his horn WAS the sword. It apparently can change itself to be suitable for the wielder. Fro instance, it was a general-looking sword for Cyan's brother's father, and a shell-blade for Cyan."

[i]Oh... Alright. So it's like the Soul Calibur and the Soul Edge then.[/i]

Vulxen: "Well, I certainly recall being with a nice-enough Cacturne, wielding a bow of legend. Forgot the name, though. But I was with him, in Deltine."

Rose: "...This is gonna sound embarrasing, but I forgot who the person I was with was, only that he used a Lance...wait, NOW I remember! It was an Azumarill Knight, riding upon a Ponyta! Oh, I'm glad I remembered that."

[i]Legendary bow... Uh... Ichaival? Pinaka? Brahmastra? Grandiva?[/i]

Rose: "Close: the SPEAR was Gradivus. The Bow was Yewfelle."

[i]Because when you got hit by an arrow, yewfelle?[/i]

Nuvel: "Anyway, fun fact: 400 years before "The Event", Forestia and Acinetos were once a whole continent, along with Deltine...which was always connected to Acinetos, of course."

Alex: "Ha ha ha."

[i]Wait, isn't Yewfelle actually Ichaival?[/i]

Nuvel: "Yeah...back then, Regigigas was still moving the continents, or something...So I think me and Rose actually managed to meet up with Regigigas."

(Insert brief nerdy discussion about Fire Emblem here: The name of the bow I was thinking of was actually Parthia, not Yewfelle (which was renamed from Ichaival))

Bradley: "I hope you don't forget that I was with the lovely Minerva! Quite a strong Garchomp she was...as one of my ancestors, and all, wielding the greataxe, Hauteclare."

[i]Mortal: Move continents? Isn't that thing like... 12 feet tall?[/i]

Sable: "While the exact details of what happened in this era escape me, I KNOW that the four heroes did meet up at Polaria, and we ended up at the Tree of Mana...for reasons."

Alex: "Well, are you REALLY gonna argue with the pokedex here, and what it says?"

[i]I argue against the Pokédex all the time.

Like Arcanine, that is said to run 6200 miles in a single day and night. That's 258 miles per hour. That's way too absurd.

It's faster than Rapidash, even, which is said to go at 150 miles per hour[/i]

Sable: "Anyways, I do know we met up with Garcia at the base of the tree, and...SURPRISE, SURPRISE- Garvanni has apparently been responsible for a great deal of Garcia's evil antics, and emerges from his body, ready to fight us. Now, here's the thing- after we beat him, he attempts to awaken Lavos from the Planet early, trying to undo all that has happened so far. With the aid of the four warrriors, we manage to put. An end to this plot, even as he merges himself with Lavos. And, thus, having rejoined more of our friends (but not all...), we go...pardon the terminology here- "Back to the Future", ready to explore the timestream some more...and hell, even to take in the fruits of our labor for saving the future...but, well....not everything had turned out so...cut-and-dry...

(I'll likely have to tell the rest of this tomorrow. Sorry for the inconvenience.)

[i]I hope you went at exactly 88mph to go back to the future.[/i]

Sable: "I....don't think I can run that fast."

[i]No DeLorean handy?[/i]

Sable: "Nah...we were travelling through time using my abilities completely...actually, I don't think we got ourselves an "Epoch" until Chapter 4.

[i]Since we're done with storytelling for now, I'll plot my attempts at kidnapping Alex.

Do you think just picking him up and carrying him away would work?[/i]

Alex: "Well, it COULD work, but then...maybe I wouldn't mind being kidnapped by you..."

(THE NEXT DAY...)

[i]You wouldn't?[/i]

Alex: "Not in the leas-"

Noire the Pikachu: "HEY!"

Sable: "Huh?"

Noire: "You guys forgot to introduce me yesterday!"

[i]We did?[/i]

Sable: "Darn, I knew we were forgetting something...but yeah, you don't come in until a bit later, I believe."

Alex: "Listen, we may forget to point out at which point a few characters come in, but we'll all be together by the end of...chapter 6 or 7, I think."

Violet: "You also forgot to mention that Luxray in the previous chapter."

Xanza: "Ah, yes...his name was Zilver...he was a friend of Sebastian's, from...you know, the further future. He had with him my book of future prophecies...for you see, he was a descendant of mine and Pika's."

Sable: "He took us towards his future time, and I think THAT'S when we got the Epoch."

Alex: "It was a brief visit, of course, and none of our friends were in that part of time...I think...so it didn't constitute a chapter."

Sable: "There's a few other parts of the story where we just gave brief visits. We'll point out each instance, don't worry."

[i]Sounds good.[/i]

Sable: "So, then, we arrived back in our time, in the instance of us saving the future..."

(More BRB stuff. Hey, just saying it for prosperity, okay?)

[i]Alright. And how do you think I should pick up Alex? Bridal style?[/i]

Alex: "Bridal style! Yes! (But don't tell Di Gi. Chances are, she'd kill me...or at least, ditch me...)

Sable: "Fair warning: Love has made Alex a bit...megalomaniacal as of late. I hesitate to use the term evil, but..."

Alex: "Yes...me and Di Gi...we'll be together forever...once I can be REEEAAAAL..."

Sable: "...Hey, loverboy!"

Alex: "What?"

Sable: "We got story signal."

Li: "Ugh, you two..."

Samson: "Anyway, something we never anticipated of our actions...see, with everyone coming out of this whole ordeal fine and dandy, as well as blissfully unaware of the apocalypse-that-could've been, of course tensions would mount between humans and Pokemon...which resulted in the Decade-and-a-Half war."

Xanza: "Unsurprisingly, humans were greatly offended by the actions of the Atmosians, as were they of the Chronopolitans. This led to an all-out war of sorts between the two technologically andvanced civilizations, bringing with it any old with the aid of any old town or city in the process. This wasn't just war- it was a bloodshed. And in the center of it all, Silph. Co., arming both sides with munnitions..."

Sable: "It wasn't all bad, though. Turns out, I went through with my decision to stay in the past when all was said and done, and at this point in history, despite this war of sorts, I had managed to raise a family of my own...and had two grown children, Mike the Puncheon, and Nike the Sandeon...of course, due to legal reasons, we'll be retconning that to "Mike the Flareon", and "Nike the Leafeon"."

Nike: "Yes...quite a confusing life. Do you know what it's like, to have one of your greatest friends at your age...also being your father?"

Mike: "I keep saying, only by 4 seconds!...oh, wait, we're not arguing about that now? Okay, well, I guess I'll say that Sable was our father, but there was ANOTHER Sable that we grew up with, from this timeline. Confusing, I know."

Sable: "And it gets even more confusing next chapter..."

Noire: "Don't forget, me and Yarne came into the story about that point!"

Nike: "Not just that, but we, too, lent a hand in Sable's adventures across time....and there was also-"

Ray: "Me!"

Samantha: "Yeah, I was surprised to see my own brother, too...or, rather, the brother I never had. I think that about wraps it up for the newcomers in this story segment..."

[i]If you ever rewrite that story, I hope you'll try to include less time traveling[/i]

Xanza: "And now, for the twist...Silph. Co.'s involvement in the war. Remember those mining shafts in Acinetos that they had? Well, they had been in cahoots with Beelzebub because they knew they could turn a quick profit with the continent should they go to war. And Chronopolis would turn to Silph, as well, for their armage, and their wholly-human maintained facility."

(I should also mention at this point, that Hunter J was a part of this time, too. Being fed up with the mis-treatment of pokemon, and going on for 15 years being doubtful of the moral implications of her job, she quit, and decided to help Sable out.)

Sable: "Also, YOU CAN NEVER HAVE TOO MUCH TIME TRAVEL."

Alex: "Trust us, Time travel only really comes into play with this third story..."

Li: "...So, are we not going to mention Roger?"

[i]Too much time travel makes things weird and confusing, though...[/i]

Xanza: "How could we NOT?"

Sable: "I think this story being weird and confusing is sort of the point...again, though, blame Xeno."

[i]It need to be less weird and confusing. Hopefully we can do something about that.[/i]

Samantha: "Well, we can always focus on that AFTER this story is told...again. ANYWAYS..."

"Roger...well, he was a Beheeyem, from the planet Hexadecimus, from which many of the Psychic types of Mysidia were descendants of, Xanza included. He apparently had a hand in the whole Silph. thing, too, though only a minimal extent. Honestly, though, I think he was just there for a filler boss battle....Not hat I can complain about free EXP."

[i]Is there any awesome secret boss that's harder than the final boss in this story?[/i]

No.

[i]Aww[/i]

...well....sort of. I put an add-on sequence a few days after I finished the story.

Sorta like a "TRUE" final boss.

[i]Post-ga... Post-story boss.[/i]

Sable: "...That add-on only made things even MORE confusing to an unbelieveable extent, you know."

I know.

(Actually, if we're getting REAL technical here, I had also mused the possibility of there being a super-boss in the form of Gaspard, who could be fought at the beginning of Mysidia's time.)

[i]It's post-story, it's not canon.[/i]

Li: "So, after that was settled, we managed to end an entire war in a single fort-night."

Sable: "About that...it....wasn't TECHNICALLY "post" story....don't worry, we'll likely get to that by tomorrow."

Li: "MOVING ON....we managed to go back to our ruined future, by traveling dimentions, as well as Time. And boy, were we in for a shock..."

[i]Well, alright.

Naberius: And to think, I've been fighting in a stupid war for at least a few centuries...[/i]

Sable: "...Just as there was a timeline where we saved the future, there was a timeline where we FAILED. To put it bluntly, we were always destined to go back in time, but our success was the variable. In fact, the Cyan's brother's father wasn't even the one entirely responsible for chopping down the great tree...more on that in chapter 6."

Priam: "Long story short, we met up with Balthier and Monica, and then battled Sable."

Sable: "...I should explain. See, this was the version of me that stayed in the present, but the instance in which We failed to save the Mana Tree. I had gone crazy at this point...I had to fight myself to the near-death...also, he was possessed by Immorphinity, but then, who WASN'T, in our journey through time?"

Samantha: "We also had to kill my mother Zachlera, of this time...you know, with the rampaging, and all. And then, we decided...if this future wold occur anyway, why not save it, too? We planted a seed from the present time's Mana tree in this desolate future, in the hopes it would grow back to life...and it did, after some centuries."

Sable: "More on that in Chapter 8."

[i]So many things to be explained in the future[/i]

Sable: "And the past."

Alex: "And present."

Li: "And the future of the alternate past."

Priam: "AUGH! MY HEAD HURTS!"

[i]I mean... Future of the story. Never mind.[/i]

Sable: "...Where was I? Oh, yes, we then went for a very short trip to the VERY end of the world, when it would be engulfed in a Supernova."

Samantha: "We managed to rescue my brother, Seliph, from there, before it went totally destroyed..."

[i]Oh. Fun trip.[/i]

Seliph: "Needless to say, I had...mixed reactions to Sable taking charge of the group in my absence...but I was glad we managed to save the world, after all. And of course, we went onwards in our journey to find our lost friends...and so, we went 600 years into the future."

Alex: "Needless to say, that was a bad idea."

Sable: "...You're just saying that to make yourself look bad, huh?"

[i]600 years into the future after the world was destroyed, you mean?[/i]

Alex: "No, it's because that's how we got stuck with TWO of you...and...the X organization. Ugh. Bunch of dark-loving hissyfitters. Course, it's all Garcia's fault..."

[i]Or 600 years after...

I'm lost.[/i]

Sable: "600 years after we saved it."

[i]Oh, ok[/i]

Megan: "After the 15 year war, the world fell into times of peace. This would remain, for the next 200 years...that's when HE showed up again."

[i]HE!

Who?[/i]

Sable: "We never found out just WHY, or HOW, but after his defeat at the hands of the Advent Children, Beelzebub had been sucked into another time, and from there, with none to object to him, he brought forth a wild suggestion: Pokemon enslaving Humans."

[i]Is Beelzebub actually Porky in disguise?[/i]

Li: "A lot of Pokemon, still bitter over the past, went along with this nefarious idea, and...well, Pokemon controlling Humans. So yeah."

Sable: "Please, PLEASE don't give Xeno suggestions for future villains. Trust us on this. Please."

[i]I'll try not to.[/i]

Priam: "Now, this was ONE wild time...though, I should point out there were, for some hilariously weird reason, a LOT of Sonic Expies in the guise of Pokemon, so we'll largely skim over mentioning them. They acted sort of like "freedom fighters", trying to rebel against the now once-again tyrannical Atmos Continent (man, that place just LOVES being the birthplace of evil, huh? Just ONCE, I'd like to see a Forestian or Blankian villain...), and...well...there was a hitch. A big one."

Alex: "I...I'm kinda responsible for this. See, there was a spy-network built into the planet itself, that could see into every prying corner. It was really devilish, I'd say...I supposedly thought up the concept after this was all said and done, but how THAT came to be is a wild story in and of itself..."

(Sable: "You know, you never DID explain that...)

(Alex: "...Let's just say I'm FAR more technologically advanced than you could possibly take me for.)

Li: "So, when we came in at Chronopolis, we were caught. Near immediately. And sent to a floating prison above Forestia, though I guess I should note we at least met up with Gunpeng at Chronopolis."

Gunpeng: "I was of no help. Hell, I never was..."

Sable: "Also, funny story, I...was possessed by Immorphinity. Yeah."

[i]It's ok, Gunpeng. One day.[/i]

(Don't worry, Gunpeng does eventually get a bit of a boost in positive attitute, and becomes a great fighter of his own accord. But then, that's part of the Epilogue, and technically spoilers, so...I'll stop talking now.)

Alex: "So, with no acting leader, those buffons were...pretty much helpless."

Seliph: "...'

Alex: "Okay, so no weirdly-colored leaders. Same thing."

[i]So Sable was overleveled and the others were underleveled?[/i]

Sable: "That doesn't BEGIN to describe how OP I was..."

Alex: "Anyways, I snuck in and rescued them. And I think...that's when I snuck in, freed everyone, and saved the day! So yeah. Hey, Xeno! Why don't you ever mention THAT part, huh? Geez..."

Li: "...Did we mention Immorphinity made an evil clone of Sable?"

[i]I think there's too many Sables in this story[/i]

Alex: "You don't know the half of it...anyways, we'll take a short break, so stay tuned!"

[i]Alright.

Mortal: There's a clone of me, too, but he's not evil.[/i]

Sable: "Okay, we're back. And a forewarning: after this chapter is...a lot of filler stuff. One could say Immorphinity was the one at fault here...chapter 7 is decent enough, but then, I'm not in it, so whatever."

[i]Yay, filler. My favorite.[/i]

Xelbas: "I'm not evil, either, but I was definitely Mr. No-personality at first. I began to develop...and become the opposite of Sable in subtle ways. I was still good, of course...so much unlike my 13 other brethren."

[i]Including the Kingdom Hearts named ones?[/i]

Alex: "Yeah...they were all created by Immorphinity, in Garcia's body...all but one- Xelbas. He was made from thin air...but those other thirteen were made by taking the opposite of each 13 of our essences."

[i]Did they call themselves... Organization 13?[/i]

Sable: "Trust me, the KI resemblances aren't THAT canny...but there are later expies which get cannier. Not related to us, of course.

(Jzt the IIIrd: "You heard nothing...")

Alex: "...Actualy, yes, they did."

(Alex: "And yes, that was to you too, bird boy. Now GET LOST. This is OUR story, not YOURS.")

Hey, I can't be THAT original, can I?

[i]I'll admit some of my stuff is pretty obviously inspired by copyrighted things... But I think you can do a better job than that at trying to hide it.[/i]

Hey, if it counts, I called a later expy group, "The Z Clan". Though, I didn't quite opt for anagrams...

Zaxnax, Xatu, I: "Well, do keep in mind, none of this was ever meant to be shared originally...just the musings of a bored creator..."

Vulxen, Ninetails, II: "True, but even I could keep this clutter of a story organized. And I'm a total slob."

[i]It's ok, sharing it will lead to improving it later on.

As I said, I'd love to help improving this story if you'll have me.

Later, of course[/i]

Roxes, Lilligant, III: "Hee hee (heart). You must enjoy this, then. I love sharing all my stories. And I know my name seems familiar-ish. (heart) But then...you know...I'd likely try killing you in a heartbeat if you touched my personality (heart)"

(Hmm, I could always think about it...right now, I'm just glad enough to tell this to another, as obvious as it is meant to be a highly personal thing.)

Gnoxii, Milotic, IV: "Meh. Whatever."

[i]Hey, I'm a dragon. I don't simply get killed.

Lian: Well, you're not unkillable like me.

Shush.[/i]

Iroxine, Pikachu, V: "Well, you boys and your pleasantries. Now, how about I ROCK YOUR WORLD?!?"

[i]Can you?[/i]

Monxsas, Sneasel, VI: *Battle Arcade theme plays in backround* *dances flashily wearing gold sequin Jacket* *yes, this sequence is ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY* "You know, I was always Xeno's favorite...but then, I guess it's just due to me being so much more open about myself compared to Samson."

Ulrixerc, Rhydon, VII: "...We all know that pink skin paint of yours is fake, Monxsas. Now, how about being a bit more...uhh...dignified, in front of our vict- er, guest of honor? Not often we see dragons in these parts."

[i]Mortal: Or half-demons, I imagine.[/i]

Radelbyx:, Druddigon, VIII: "Quite so, my old chap, but do pardon, I am a dragon, too. So, naturally, I say, I have a part in this counting of, shall we say, "dragons"."

Ranxeye, Lopunny, IX: "HEY! Can I murder someone now? Please? I'M ITCHIN' FOR A BLITZIN'!"

[i]Only if you want Mortal to kill you.[/i]

Mirpax, Blaziken, X: "...Pah. Would it even matter? We all died already, anyway...or at least, just merged with our old selves. Yes, we're all still very much alive in our originals."

Xil, Mienshao, XI: "Yeah....well, whatever! I Don't care that I don't....exist...anymore! *sniff*"

Thalbixer, Braviary, XII: "Well, I bet you all have some nice things to say about death and destruction, huh? Because if not, then, well, I don't really care."

[i]I can think of  afew people who have nice things to say about death and destruction[/i]

Lexax, Zoroark, XIII: "Diiiiiii Giiiiii...you don't know that I exist....but you give Alex all the munition I neeeeeed to ressuuuuuuuuuuuurfaaaaaaaceeeee.....yes.....sooon....freeeeeeedoooooooom...."

Xelbas, Lucario, XIV: "...As you can see, I was surrounded by crazy people. Which is why, after my battle in the future with these helres of this story, I blasted off into space."

[i]It's indeed quite the group[/i]

Sable: "Don't worry, they all die in chapter eight."

Alex: "HEY! Spoilers..."

[i]Mortal: I wanted to kill them myself... Oh well.[/i]

Xelbas: "Well, actually, Lexax kinda resurfaced and became a god of space...yeah, that wasn't something I'd approve of."

Lexax: "Says the God of Time."

Xelbas: "Hey, I don't know how it happened, either..."

[i]Mortal: By the way, if you're curious about the name of my clone... Well, there's a reason Naoya's skypename is "***************"[/i]

(Alex: "Hey, I'm not gonna just hand out personal information for the sake of an inside joke, and neither should you!)

Alex: "Skipping ahead, we went to Atmos, and killed the one responsible for all this current day mess, Ansem the....guess what? Alakazam. And YES, he was possessed by...actually, no, it WASN'T Immorphinity..."

[i]Don't tell me... XEHANORT?! I hope I'm wrong this time.[/i]

Sable: "Yeah, HERE'S a twist: it was because of a Malamar, the emperor of the aforementioned planet Hexadecimus.

Nyeusi, the Magnificent, the Absolute, the Grand, the Malamar, the Onyx Crystallyte: "Hey hey HEY! Just so we're clear here, I didn't copy his style! He copied MINE!"

Sable: "..."

Alex: "..."

Cyan: "..."

[i]I made no assumptions.[/i]

Fehn: "..."

Frank: "..."

Chester: "...Who's THAT guy?"

[i]I was wondering that.[/i]

Nyeusi: "You know not of ME! The TRUE absolute ruler of Qysteria? FOOLS! ALL OF YOU!"

[i]But what's Qysteria?[/i]

Alex: "Heh heh...THAT's a long story...but thankfully, one that actually EXISTS. It's all part of this RP Xeno has going on at the moment, which intertangles with...two other...RPs. Yeah, he....tends to keep things confusing. I'm sure he'll tell ya ALL about it, AFTER we finish telling this."

[i]Alright. Guess Nyeusi is not important for now then.[/i]

Sable: "So, with the whole future thing taken care of...whoops! Almost forgot to mention Violet breaking me of possesion, then me getting amnesia, and then other stuff. Oh well, negligible details, by this point."

(Samantha: "There was...something more. See, I did so after excersizing Immorphinity from his body. It was also at the Mana Temple of Blankis...apparently, over the last few centuries, the rather assertive Pokemon species had forsaken the ways of old, and the Temple fell into ruin...)

[i]Amnesia is such a common sight now that it IS a negligible detail.[/i]

(Oh, and Lucifer was with them now, as well. Everyone but Morgan had been reunited by this point.)

Alex: "So, now to quickly go over the next chapter: We went to space, fought Lexax, met up with Xelbas, came to Hexadecimus and were separated from Sable, he got amnesia AGAIN, we all met up at this one location on said planet, we faced the fell Malamar to the death, he tried using this ancient artifact, we destroyed it, Zaxnax was killed off, and we also faced a few of the organization..but most of them had gathered in the far past of Mysidia, when the Great meteor Lavos would fall millions of years ago..."

[i]Millions of years ago. Time sure flies, doesn't it?[/i]

Morgan: "I'll make this one short, since it's kinda filler-y...but it was just me and a Dewott, traveling the world's far-past. I got to see all sorts of wondrous things, like how the Mana Temples first began to be, and murmerings of "death from the heavens". The two of us journeyed to each Mana Temple, facing off against an organization me,ber at each one, with a few other friends of the Dewott's in tow. One of them was an odd, quiet Pancham..."

[i]Too busy muching on a leaf, perhaps?[/i]

Morgan: "I, being from the future, knew this time's fate, but I couldn't just back away from those in trouble. The Dewott, now a Samurott (would that technically be "was"?), and I climbed up the cloud tower where Rayquaza lay...we tried to stop the meteor, but failed, of course. And so, in a last ditch effort to save some of the world's inhabitants, he brought the continent of Atmos up into the sky..."

Sable: "Oh, and said Pancham was being possessed by Immorphinity."

[i]Oh, of course. Silly me.[/i]

Morgan: "Yeah...also, turns out HE was the one who destroyed the Mana tree...no, it makes sense. Immorphinity actually brought himself from that point in time to...actually, Sable..this is where I usually get a bit confused."

[i]THIS is when you get confused? I've been confused the whole time[/i]

Sable: "I know how that is. See, Immorphinity brought himself from Cyan's Brother's dad to Garvanni, then me, then some time later in the (destroyed) future, timeline, then goes BACK to the Pancham, then back to Cyan's brother's dad...it was an endless loop."

Inigo is confused! Inigo hurt himself in confusion!

Sable: "...Yeah. Don't worry, we got it taken care of. See, after that, we chased Immorphinity into the destroyed future's timeline, which....after hundreds pf years turned out MUCH BETTER than it would've been if we hadn't restored it..."

[i]So you chased that thing there and then did you kill it?[/i]

Alex: "So yeah...uh, we ended up dealing with the rest pf the organization at that point, we had tons of character development, and Lexax threatened to destroy the planet with a Meteor. And we stopped it."

[i]Lexax needs to calm down, then.[/i]

Sable: "And of course, Immorphinity escaped us once more....but it was sick of the infinite loop...it declared that it would end EVERYTHING, once and for all...by going back to the very beginning of the Universe, the Alphaverse, and kill Yaldabaoth before he could activate his machine. Now THIS is where we go from mind-screwy filler to some...well...stuff."

[i]To mind-eradicating actual story?[/i]

Alex: "Something to note was that Sable was absolutely fed up with having to save the entire planet every five minutes, and was skeptical on if he should even bother this one last time. And so, we chased Immorphinity down to the beginning of time, and..."

Sable: "Immorphinity succeeded in destroying all of the future of time and space."

THE END.

[i]Yaaaay

Wait, that's not good[/i]

Sable: "No, really. It was over. There was absolutely nothing..."

[i]Here I thought Sable was as dedicated as Mortal.[/i]

Sable: "Me and my compatriots wandered this nothing for what seemed like forever...and at the end of it all, we found..."

Me.

They found I, the TRUE God of his world, Xeno.

Now, this is where it gets a LITTLE confusing, but...also kinda explains a few things.

You see, Sable, and all of his entire Universe that he lived in...was nothing more than just a videogame of extravagant detail that I had developed.

[i]So you really are Deus Ex Machina[/i]

Indeed.

Sable: "Yeah...my mind was blown."

The reason all those heroes prevailed in the ends of their stories was because I gave them the power to win.

The reason there was so much destruction was because I wrote it in the code to happen as such.

The reason Sable was so all-powerful....

So overworked...

...why there were so many ****ing references to things Sable had no idea even existed...

...was...

...because...

...I was bored.

Sable: "Yep. There's your answer for why we're here, and why we exist in the Universe, and why there's so much war, famine, pestilence, disease..."

"Turns out, god was bored."

Alex: "Obviously, we were pissed. I mean, what kind of ending was THAT?!?"

[i]Mortal: I'd be pissed too. Thankfully, my creator is a normal character in my world, like the rest of us.[/i]

Sable: "So Xeno, in his absolute boredom, granted me strength equal to his own, amd we fought a battle of great intensity..."

Sable: "I won, but only because he wanted me to...everything I had done, because some higher being foretold that I would....I just....what kind of an existance was that?"

Alex: "What about Immorphinity?"

Sable: "Oh right, that. Yeah, Immorphinity was still alive, and with Xeno unable to stop it (or some stupid excuse), I was forced to fight it, in that "add-on" thing I mentioned. It was a long and arduous battle, but I prevailed..."

Alex: "Oh, wait until you get a load of this NEXT PART."

Sable: "Seeing as how I felled Xeno in battle, I took up the mantle of "Creator God", and re-created the Universe as it was, would be, and always has been..."

Oh, yeah, but then I revoked that, because that sounds absolutely stupid from a conceptual point.

[i]You mean, you don't want to be dead?[/i]

Sable: "What? No, I'm still god. I mean, I created another me to live amongst the others, but...I guess they talk through here now, too. Or maybe they also became gods?"

Alex: "...You know what? NO. That plot twist was bull then, and it's still bull now. So yeah, I think that should be ret-conned."

Sable: "Well, okay....aside from that, Immorphinity was finally purged from all existance, and everyone lived happily ever after."

(Immorphinity was then later reborn as Sable and Alex's son...don't ask.)

Alex: "...Should we have mentioned Immorphinity was a Missingno?"

[i]Yes.[/i]

Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

...By the way, I HAVE been considering making character profiles for all the characters mentioned in this story, but it will likely take a very sizeable amount of free time...something I have plenty of. I might end up putting them out in batches, or all at once, or...not at all. I'll have to think about it, but there are a lot of intriguing details that can't exactly be mentioned purely through recap, and all.
