Extra 12: I choose you! (29)
"That's it!" - Delia exclaimed with excitement upon hearing how her son had won the match - "That's my baby!"
Ivy for her part just shook her head at Delia's attitude, though it wasn't as if she could blame her.
A huge smile was present on Kurama's face as he saw how the two children he had trained, had grown so much as trainers and people, especially Gary, who used to be a self-centered person.
"What do you think of this battle, Kurama?" - Ivy asked as she looked at the albino.
"It was exciting" - Kurama answered simply, but his expression quickly changed when he felt a disturbance in the area.
"Kurama?" - Delia asked as she noticed the change in her husband's expression.
"Sorry, I have to go out," said Kurama with a smile before walking out the door of the room.
"What happened?" - Ivy asked as she frowned, only to sigh when she saw Delia shake her head.

"I guess you felt it too" - Kurama said seriously as Mewtwo's silhouette appeared beside him next to Mew.
[Yes, we felt it too] - Mewtwo replied as he frowned - [This presence is extremely strong].
"Mew!" - Mew nodded earnestly as it began to meow.
[She says that presence is Palkia's] - Mewtwo said as he frowned - [But we don't know what it's doing here].
"Mew!" - but before she could say anything else, Mew started meowing louder, as if something was terrifying her.
"Oh, no!" - Kurama exclaimed as he felt how the area seemed to be starting to distort - "This is bad!"
[ . . . ] - Mewtwo fell silent as he looked around the surroundings with a frown, then looked at Mew - [Do you know what's going on?]
"Mew!" - Mew nodded as he moved his hands at full speed.
[Giratina?] - Mewtwo asked in surprise, only to notice how the area again trembled.
"What are two Creation Trio Pokémon doing in this place?" - Kurama muttered as he frowned, only to feel as someone was watching him.
Eyes seemed to be watching him, or rather the two Pokémon next to him, but at the same time, these eyes weren't showing greed for their companions, but rather curiosity.
"You can come out, I'm sure you're aware of the danger we're in" - Kurama said while looking in the direction where he had felt the gaze.
"True, I never thought I would see Palkia so closely, at least not in this condition" - said a female voice as she walked in the direction of the albino, showing a beautiful long blonde hair that reached the end of her back. She was wearing a black blouse that was slightly open over her chest, as well as bell-bottoms of the same color.
"It's a surprise to see the Champion of Sinnoh in this place" - Kurama said as he squinted his eyes at the sight of the beautiful woman. She had a slender body, along with a look full of curiosity - "What is it you do around here, Cynthia?"
"I'm a special guest, just like you, Kurama" - Cynthia replied calmly as she folded her arms - "I've also come as a guardian of the [Lustrous Orb] and the [Adamant Orb], after all, a certain organization is after these spheres."
Kurama narrowed his eyes when he heard this, though at the same time he now understood what was going on.
For some strange reason, Palkia was being lured to his orb, and by Arceus, he wished Dialga didn't show up because there things would be problematic.
"Giratina is here too" - Kurama said seriously.
"Impossible" - replied Cynthia while frowning - "Giratina is locked in the distortion world and has no way to be able to enter our world unless there is something to serve as a bridge".
"Something like the [Griseous Orb]?" - Kurama asked as his gaze grew grave.
"Impossible, that orb has been missing for years" - replied Cynthia as she shook her head - "I can assure you of that, after all, I've been trying to find it for years."
"What if it has already been found, but no one has informed you about it? What if it was found by some criminal?" - Kurama asked while squinting his eyes - "Like for example, [Team Galaxy]"
"!" - Cynthia's eyes widened in terror when she heard this as she started to remember about the moves that criminal organization has been making - "It's not impossible."
"The three spheres are connected" - Kurama replied as he shook his head - "I don't know what that group of idiots is planning to do, but it can't be anything good if one of the creation trio is in their plans."
"I think the same thing" - Cynthia replied as she started to think - "If they plan to use Dialga, Palkia, or Giratina in their plans, then they have to be after me and the orbs."
"I think so too" - nodded Kurama as he looked in the direction where Palkia's presence was felt - "But what I can say for sure right now, is that Palkia seems to be upset."
". . ." - Cynthia was silent before nodding.
Riley had informed her that there was a powerful [Aura Guardian] in Kanto who was serving as a Gym leader.
"Mewtwo, I want you and Mew to go to Palkia and ask her what's going on" - said Kurama earnestly.
[OK] - nodded Mewtwo as he disappeared from the place together with his companion.
"Mewtwo?" - Cynthia asked with surprise and curiosity - "Does it have any relation to Mew?"
"Mewtwo was artificially created with Mew's DNA" - answered Kurama as he shook his head - "His birth was one full of suffering, and only in the last few months, he has been starting to open his hurting heart."

Five minutes later, Mewtwo returned with a serious expression on his face.
"What happened, Mewtwo?" - Kurama asked seriously.
[This is bad, very bad] - replied Mewtwo as he shook his head - [According to Palkia, something in this place is starting to break the balance in the Space-Time flow, and she has come to check what it is, but when she did, Giratina seized the moment to try to take her to the Distortion World, though he failed]
". . ." - the expression of the two adults became serious as they looked at each other apprehensively.
"For now I think we need to figure out what's altering the [Space-Time] flow" - Kurama said as he started to think, only to frown because he couldn't think of anything that could be the cause of this - "Do you have any ideas, Cynthia?"
"In the slightest, this kind of information is not in my repertoire" - Cynthia replied as she shook her head - "I am an archaeologist."
Kurama was silent for a few seconds before shaking his head - "I think we'd better go find out."

"That's impressive" - muttered a purple-haired woman who was wearing a strange white with a grey outfit that looked strangely futuristic.
"Lady Jupiter, are you sure about this?" - One of the henchmen asked as he looked at the purple-haired woman.
"Those are Cyrus-sama's orders" - Jupiter replied as he shook his head - "We just have to follow them and we can achieve our ideal world."
The henchmen were silent as they continued to move the devices next to a strange glass box that had a strange yellow sphere inside.
"Be careful with that thing, it took us a lot of effort to find it" - Jupiter said while squinting - "And I don't want those two brats to have a better position than me either, so I hope this job will be perfect"
"Hai!" - The henchmen exclaimed as they continued working.
Jupiter was silent for a few seconds as she pondered her future, but her expression quickly changed as she felt the area again tremble - "This is getting more and more dangerous, to the point where I feel it's not worth it."
"It's all ready, Lady Jupiter" - said a henchman as he walked in front of the mission leader.
"Perfect, initiate" - said Jupiter with a huge smile on her face.
The machines began to move as if they had been possessed while the wires connected to the glass box, began to power it.
The yellow sphere began to glow as the area shook even harder as if the world was trying to deny the appearance of some powerful entity.
"I have a bad feeling about this" - muttered Jupiter as her body trembled slightly from the unconscious fear she felt - "Maybe I should have backed Pluto on this, and waited for them to complete the [Red Chain] to control Dialga and Palkia."
Jupiter prepared to order a strategic retreat when she noticed how a huge shadow appeared underneath the glass box where the [Griseous Orb] was.
