Chapter 09
Dr. Theo seeing the scene of Ed and his Budew wanting to challenge their weakness brought him to smile and asked Ed.
"Ed, what do you want to be when you become a trainer?"
Hearing this Ed paused as he think as he said
'What I want to be?'
"I don't know but maybe become a gym leader, an elite, or even a champion. I want to know everything and travel enjoy the life given to me" Ed said as he fused he heard from anime and combine it with the manga add to what he want.
"Enjoy the life that was given to me huh?" Dr. Theo was shocked to Ed's answer as most kid just say what they want to be, Wallace as an example want to be a coordinator nothing more.
"Let's start then" He added
"Battle begin!" Wallace shouted
"Torchic ember" Dr. Theo instructed Torchic
"Budew, roll to dodge" Budew hearing this rolled instinctively maybe because it got it's bloodline from it's parents?
"Growth" Ed instruct Budew as Budew's whole body pulsed and energy signifying it's increase of Stat showed.
"Torchic get near, Peck"
Chiik~
Torchic ran towards Budew but Ed still command Budew with growth. And When Torchic got near
"Extrasensory" Hearing this Budew eyes turned purple as she stopped Torchic few centimeters aways which stop Torchic on its advance confused.
"Torchic ember" Seeing how Ed battle Dr. Theo was shocked as he saw many kids from before but no one as calm as Ed. So as he can't get near he instruct Torchic with long rage attacks.
"Block it with Water Sports" Hearing this Budew tremble as water sprout from him blocking the small ember. But due to Budew not being a water type and can't fully control water energy he was still hit by ember.
"Budew!" Ed shouted Budew's name
"Torchic peck" Torchic not wanting to let go of the chance, rushed towards Budew even without Dr. Theo's command but when Torchic was ready to peck Budew.
"Sleep Powder!" Ed instruct and Budew who was lying opened his buds as gray powder showed up. Torchic who was beside Budew was shocked and inhaled many powder. Luckily Budew has a higher level and the powder is effective as this knock Torchic asleep.
"absorb" With Torchic unable to move Budew hit it with a green light after the green light hit it return to Budew and heal him. Budew used it another time and when Torchic woke up it fell again unable to battle.
"Wah" Everyone seeing this was shocked (・o・) not expecting Ed to win. Ralts on the other hand was 乁[ᓀ˵▾˵ᓂ]ㄏ thinking that this level is still acceptable.
" Torchic is unable to battle, Budew win" Wallace announced the victor
On the elders side everyone was shocked including Ed's grandparents. Grandma Talya knew that Ed could command his pokemon and make them follow but she thought that Ed just randomly commanded them. But seeing how he calmly battles even though it was just a beginner match, she and the other can see that he has better battle awareness than the other kids.
"Wow you're so cool Ed!" Steven laughed as he complimented Ed.
"Really? It's just the doctor is going easy on me and I can see that Torchic is not familiar with battle while Budew was trained in battle" Ed said as he explained the difference in experience between the pokemon. He can see that it takes more seconds for Torchic to follow than Budew who will immediately implement the commands.
"So you're training with them, Ed?" Winona asked as she also want to train with pokemon and in her house she always sees the adults training with their pokemon which makes her jealous as sometimes they train while flying with their pokemon. (Winona's family are flying type specialists and in the Alliance they're part of the Air Force such as Rangers.
"That, I didn't, the truth is I want to train with them and except for Ralts. My training partner is the forest pokemons where Ralts live. And there's a Budew there and that's why I'm familiar with Budew." Ed explained
"Forest pokemons that means they don't have trainers? But they're friendly and help you train ahh I envy you " Wallace asked
"Hoot hoot" someone's stomach rumbled
Ed, who was hugging Budew, blushed as this was the first time that his stomach made a sound and everyone heard it. He couldn't help but look down in embarrassment.
'Damn I'm sure I ate so much this morning and it's still not noon yet!' Ed roared in his kind
"Hahahaha maybe you're hungry using your brain in battle, let's go I'll show you to the cafeteria" Dr Theo said as he led the group.
When the group was led by Dr Theo to the cafeteria for snacks. The elders were talking about Ed.
"Woah you two, not only your children are talented now even your grandson is also talented." Elder Reluya said as she can't help but admire the gene of the two but she remembered that Ed's father, their son in law, was also a strong and talented trainer.
"Is he really sick before?" Elder Vince asked as he heard from the couple that Ed has been sick and weak since birth. That he need to be checked up by doctors weekly, sometimes daily and that Talya begged her father to look for Ed and their son who has an accident.
"He really is but he has been cured since that incident. You all remember right?" Grandpa Yun said
"Are you talking about your daughter and son in law found two mysterious pokemon but those pokemon won't show up?" Elder Witt said
"Yes, but the truth is Jirachi is also there and that those pokemon are helping Jirachi and Jirachi cured Ed." Grandma Talya narrates the story about how Sonia and Argus rushing to hoenn to find their grandfather(in-law) to help Ed to Jirachi blessing Ed.
"I couldn't believe it, so Jirachi is really a wishing pokemon? Then why did they keep it a secret?" Elder Vince couldn't help but get excited.
"Are you an idiot, when everyone thinks that Jirachi full filing wish is a myth but still trying to catch one and now that there is a proof do you think those greedy guys don't want to get the pie?" Elder Reluya berates Vince.
"That, you're right I'm blinded." Elder Vince couldn't help but feel embarrassed how he's not thinking clear.
"But it's weird as I learned from legend that Jirachi will only wake up during the Millennium Comet visiting the earth. But we didn't find or hear any news about it." Elder Vince asked as he, like his grandson, loved reading history about the legend and myths.
"So back to our main topic, about the Master ball Ed found which is from team rocket a underworld organization leading in Kanto. But I couldn't believe that they also have bases in our region." Grandpa Yun said
"But what is weird is that the two clans, Land and Sea, want us to surrender the master ball and not pass it to the headquarter" Vince said but when the two clan are mentioned Grandma Talya's aura became dark as she has a hatred to the two clan same for the other elders as they have enmity to the two clan.
"Why do they want us to surrender the master ball and not give it to the alliance?" Elder Witt asked as he was suspicious of the two clans.
"Their tone is unfriendly and like they can command me any time they want" Vince said
"I have a suspicion that the two clans are working with team rocket" Vince added
"Why?" The other asked
"Because not only do they want to get the research data but also want us to delete the files. Also I caught one of my employees deleting the data including all files about team rocket. Do you all know who he works with? Land clan and he's also part of the clan's branch." Vince said.
"You know that in our department we won't delete data as we only put them in high security. Also I couldn't help but have a headache as most employees are not loyal to the alliance."
Hearing Vince said the expression of the other darken.
"Did you report it to the alliance?" Elder Gritt asked
"Yes, but I still didn't get a reply. I think there is an interference on the other side." Vince said.
"How deep did they infiltrate the alliance?" Reluya couldn't help but asked.
"It couldn't be help because they're noble and great clans after all. While us are just lower level than them." Vince said
"That's because we followed alliance's rules and these rules stop us implicating innocent people and infighting. But if they really want to fight us I just hope my warning didn't go deaf ear to them or else they're so called clan will be annihilated." Grandpa Yun smiled as the others, except Grandma Talya, looked at him before sighing. After all, his exploit in Kalos where he annihilated a noble family was infamous. And everyone could see the strength of the ranked Master trainer but they knew that he had stronger pokemon.
"I think they forgot that since ancient the strong rule the weak" Elder Gritt said as he knew that the noble families and clans are declining, some are due to the fall of the last empire. But he knew that the two clans can still hold on due to their guardian pokemon protecting them but what if they have rivals?
"Now what I want to know is- Vince! How come the alliance is still not responding! Now we had an evidence of them collaborating with alliance number one enemy they won't just let these two clan go." Elder Gritt added as he complained to Vince
"How about going there yourself?" Elder Reluya said
"That's my plan but I need you guys' help. As I will personally go by myself but I think how about we bring our grandchildren for a tour? After all the Hoenn tournament is being held now." Elder Vince proposed
"When?" The other asked
"How about now?" Vince smiled which made them want to smack or punch him.
'Ah just like old times' Grandpa Yun smiled

Water shrine
The hall is large that there is a water way on the corner except for the center, the wall is full of markings and scripture and if you look closely most of it are about Kyogre and people praying to it. There is also a sculpture of Kyogre behind the chair of honor. Below is people sitting in line on each side and in the center their is a person kneeling.
"Patriarch, that Vince didn't comply with our demands" a person was kneeling informed.
"He really is hard headed huh? Did he think that we can't do anything to him?" One man in siting near the chair of honor said
"You're right Ivan, I think it's time for the people to know that us clans are still strong and we just help the Alliance and not under it." The man in the sit of honor said as he approved to Ivan's word
"But Patriarch Avil, the league is a strong titan to fight" An elder said knowing the strength of the league and the alliance.
"Baah, the champion couldn't even beat me when I wasn't even the Patriarch yet!" the Avil roared, objecting to the elder's word.
"All of you may leave now!"
Hearing the order everyone left aside for the person kneeling and Ivan.
"Ivan and Lon tell all the group watching to intercept and attack those fools. Show them what real strength is." Avil ordered.
"Yes sir!" Both shouted as they went out.
Watching his two underling left Avil said
"Strength is everything, team rocket showed it to me unlike the alliance whose champion is only as strong as me before and if we battle again I can defeat him immediately."
—--
When the elders left he went to the residence of the old Patriarch father of Avil. He explained everything to the old patriarch.
"Sigh, my son become so arrogant, if I knew this would happen I shouldn't have made that deal. A deal that hoping our clans rank is higher than those of the Land."
The battle Avil always proud off was nothing but a deal match. As his father want to have a higher rank so more people will follow them and that it could help his son secure his position. It was a great plan as after it happen more people followed the clan and Ivan is one of those people.
"Will we stop him sir?" The elder asked
"No, just let him be. If the alliance could stop him with suffering then it could enhance their prestige but if they can't then my son is strong leader. If he really fail I think it is time for our clan to be truly part of the alliance." Travelling for many years he saw that the era of so called families and noble is really fading as more and more trainers showed up. The only one strong were the clan that has integrated into the alliance.
He took a phone and called someone in the alliance, this is his contingency plan for the future of his people.
"If I knew this would happen I shouldn't have given the seat to that idiot."
The elder on the side sigh, instead of flourishing the clan the new patriarch is focused on old glories and still searching for the power of their ancestors. The old patriarch lets him be thinking that he's just using the Team rocket and doesn't want to confront the alliance but this is where he is wrong. And can only hope to protect his people and ask for leniency.
—------
On the other hand the leader of the Land clan is just waiting for what will happen as the leader knew how strong is the alliance and the present team rocket is not yet its rival. Also even if his clan have higher rank in the alliance but clashing with elites of alliance is a big no.
He just accepted the help of team rocket to search for the power of Groudon.
"Lord Spencer, will we do anything?" one of his servant asked
"No, I'm just hoping that idiot won't do anything stupid or else if he's caught and base on his character he will spill all the beans. So let's prepare the payments." Spencer said as he looked at the person behind him.
"Maxie, I hope you can lead some of our people to continue our search for Groudon, and our ancient past. Our goal is for the betterment of people, not destroy civilization."
"Yes sir, I will do my best."
—-----
On the other hand, in the Sky Draconid clan, some people want to get a master ball but are stopped by their leader Aster.
—----
Back In the intelligence office building after eating Ed and the others meet with their elders.
The elders told them of their plan which they immediately agreed to. The group went to Mauville airport.
Ed who hasn't tried riding a plane before from both past and the present, excitedly waited to enter the plane. The first one to enter the train is Wallace and Winona, while Steven was still holding the leaf stone he got from Ed trying to identify something from it. Ed slowly followed as he don't know why but he had a bad feeling.
But just he was about to take a step on the stairs of the aircraft, Ralts, who had been quiet, stopped Ed by pulling his shirt.
"What is the problem Ralts?" Ed asked and saw that Ralts is pointing on someone then to another person. Seeing this Ed stopped and he could feel the animosity of the people who was pointed by Ralts.
"Who are you guys?" Ed asked the first person as Ralts charged his attack.
"What are you doing little master" the person asked by Ed asked as he couldn't help but threatened.
"Don't think because I'm young I don't know about the conspiracy of you idiots. Ralts felt a dark emotion from you guys so that is why I'm asking. Me and Ralts are experienced in this kind of thing, Answer now or you will be injured."
"Ed what's the problem?" Steven asked but a black shadow passed and took Steven.
"Oh kid you're such a smarty pants if you have just stayed quiet your friend won't have been in this situation." The man said but before he can further threaten a large number of leaves magically attack him and his colleagues knocking then down. Roserade showed up.
"I'm angry" Steven who got out from the man's grip said
"It's okay Steven after all we didn't have the same speed as him-" Ed placate him but stopped by Steven's next word
"Damn my leaf stone dropped! I'm so angry! Aron come on out! Headbutt that guy!" Steven ordered his pokemon to attack the knocked man who took him.
Seeing Steven's action both Ed and Ralts were shocked.
'I knew that he was a fanatic about stones but to this extent?' Ed exclaimed silently
Just as Ed relax and waiting for the elders he saw a blue energy attack hitting Roserade which make her flew for a few meters.
"Roserade!"
—----
When the captain of the grunt under Ivan who was acting as the pilot saw his teammates in knock cold he couldn't help but cursed as a baby sitter pokemon defeated his whole team. But he saw two other children so he take this chance and took them hostage.
Releasing his Crawdaunt and do a surprise attack to Roserade and seeing that it was successful he smiled.
"You two if you don't want your friends to be hurt both of you follow my instruction. Put your pokemon back to their pokeball, and slowly come inside." For assurance he ordered Crawduant to guard the two.
With no other choice and Roserade out of cold, they could do anything but follow as they knew they couldn't defeat Crawdaunt. When they were in the plane the captain tied them with rope and took their pokeballs.
When the elders arrived they saw that the plane was trying to take off but the captain used Ed and the others as a hostage.
'Damn this day is so full of surprises' Ed sighed
When the plane took off Elder Reluya released a Swellow and Altaria to follow the plane. 1 hour has passed that Ed and the others fell asleep, some due to crying, the other is consoling, and while Ed felt it was comfortable as he could feel from Ralts before that the captain had a soft spot for children that he didn't do anything that could hurt them. He even released them to their ties and just let Crawdaunt guard us.
Ed woke up and heard the man conversing to a radio communication.
"Kill them, Hmph let them know about our wrath!" the other side Ivan ordered and end the call.
"But they're just kids" having children on his own and wanting to help them he accepted the mission of the patriarch but he didn't want to hurt the children but just use them as a hostage.
"I can't land this to the real destination or else not only will I and the kids be in trouble but also my family"
Ed on the other hand was thinking about this ethical dilemma but as he and the man is thinking for answer the plane shook.
"Damn a storm!? But there were no storm clouds when I checked!" The captain immediately went to the pilot cabin.
When the plane shook it woke up the other kids and this cause a panic to the trio.
"Guys calm down!" Ed consoled the others but when the three calm down they can feel that the plane is going downward at a fast speed.
"Fuck, I remember I hate falling action! AAAAAAAH!" Ed shouted as his vision darken. Yep he still have a acrophobia
—----
When Ed woke up he found out that the plane is still okay and as a layman he can't find any damage. He saw that the other was still unconscious including Crawdaunt so he silently went to the pilot cabin and saw that the captain was also unconscious so he took his pokeball and took Crawdaunt back.
Thinking where they are, Ed opened the door and saw that instead of the typical crash landing plots where they'll find themselves surrounded by forest, sand or water but Ed saw that they're landed on a ruins. It was an ancient ruin. He got out and saw something that shocked him.
'This isn't this rock the three legends are fighting!?' When he saw the rock the system give him a mission
[The Legend]
[Difficulty; S+]
[Mine the rock and gain as much as you can]
[Duration: Before help arrives, before the other wake up, Before Rayquaza feel the stone, or the ruins will hide again.]
[Mission items; Chisel and Small hammer]
[No other helper]
[Reward; Evaluation]
"Hell!?You Want me to mine and there is a probability that I will face Rayquaza?"
[Don't worry house as the ancient people put a barrier so that no other being can find the stone but the barrier is slowly expiring but it is not time.]
Thinking of this Ed called out Budew and asked it to released sleep powder before returning the pokemon.
'Sorry guys but I want to be greedy this time'
Ed using his child body start mining the stone every fragment he got will go straight to the system backpack. While mining Ed couldn't help but asked why not asked for his pokemons help but the system didn't answer. So he continued to mine as he was shocked about the chisel as it could cut the giant rock smoothly. Thinking that he could cut the stone easily his passion for art burns as he turning the rock into a sculpture. He remember that the giant rock turn into a fake Zygarde 50% form so he was thinking of turning it to a cell form of Zygarde after all the cell form is simple.
Few moments later instead of the easy cell form it turn into a triple diamond but instead of the shape of diamond in cards the head is made of three same size diamonds, the body is oval but their is a palm size diamond in its surface, and the tail that looks like an egg. Unsatisfied Ed want to continue but the system warns him that the island is hiding again so he could only give up as the system instructs him to return to the plane.
Luckily when he got in the lane the surroundings changed as everything turned into water. Ed thought that they'll drown but luckily the plane is enforced with material that makes it and what is inside it light.
—----
Swellow and Altaria, the two pokemon who were tasked on following the plane, lost sight of it as the quiet sky turned violent as a sudden storm showed up. The two struggle until the storm has passed and continue their search. The two saw a fog and the two used a defog but to no avail and could only enter the fog.
After an hour of flying , the fog magically disappeared and they saw the plane. The two landed on the top of the plane to rest and wait for their owner as their owner put a tracker on them.
—---
When the other woke up, Ed was receiving the reward from the system.

'Oh, so that's why I woke up earlier than that captain.' Ed sighed
—-------
"Are you guys okay?" The captain asked which removed Ed's focus on the system. He nodded to the captain. While the other just stare at the captain.
"I'm sorry guys that all of you is in this situation because I'm afraid that if I get caught my family, my daughter and wife will be in trouble. I'm sorry" The Dan apologized
"What's your name uncle?" Ed asked
"I'm Dan, little one" he smiled at Ed as the other children had hatred in him but this kid just treat him like other strangers.
"Why are you not afraid of me?" he asked Ed
"Because before you caught me, Ralts conveyed that you meant no harm and you could just use us as a hostage to protect yourself and your family." Ed answered
"But if he wants to protect himself and family, why do bad things?" Wallace asked as the other two listened
"That, I was ordered to" Dan answer
"But why follow?" Steven asked doing a duet with Wallace
"Um" Dan scratched his neck as he can't answer but someone answered for him
"That because it was his work and his family need something for living" Ed said
"But why not work for the alliance?" Winona who always heard this topic on her elders.
"Because he was an unofficial trainer" Ed answered again as the memory of the young Ed hearing people who was lost in the forest where it became his playground and home for Ralts' fellow pokemon said. He took out a Lava Cookie and Momoo milk in his inventory by taking them out from his sling bag and continued to explain.
"The alliance won't accept someone who has no connection to the alliance but if they are talented and gain great contribution will be accepted and could have an official job. For contribution I heard it was hard because the official trainers or nobles can take credit for it which stops unofficial trainers from rising. I also heard that the alliance tolerated the existence of unofficial trainers because they could give the unofficial job to them and the remaining great clan and nobles could have underlings."
Hearing this the other three children who was so dazzled on thinking alliance is perfect was shocked because their elders didn't talk about it. Dan was shocked to hear these words from a kid and also he could feel pain as he also experienced it and that he could only become an underling for the water clan. Ed gave the other some cookies as he continued his story which he heard from someone as his father won't say anything about his experience.
"My father is an unofficial trainer as their family before is not part of the alliance but due to his talent and with the help of his uncle who became an official trainer he rose until he became an Elite trainer and also his uncle became one of the strongest gym leaders in Kalos. It was funny as when my father became champion the alliance was reluctant to accept it due to him from common grounds but when he was reigning champion they used him as an advertisement so that talented trainers will follow the alliance."
Hearing Ed's narration, the other was shocked as this became a big impact to their image about the alliance.
"Also your elders have the same story as my father you know." Ed said to the other children
"Right uncle, you will be in trouble and even if you said who ordered you which is the Water clan they will not be in trouble as they have a higher rank in the alliance" Ed said but he didn't know that Water clan will really be in trouble due to their elders which is more important for the alliance than a old and declining clan.
Ed couldn't help but get hungry again but he don't want to eat berries or other snacks so he couldn't help but search his inventory but most of it was berries. He couldn't help but sigh but he saw the shop icon. He entered the shop and saw different items. Even the Z ring is for sale but the price is so big, there is also many items he didn't know but the price is above millions. He saw the common items and found meat. There he saw different meat such a s normal meat of a pig which couldn't become pokemon there is also meat form pokemon such as Slowpoke tails, krabby and kingler, and Farfetch'd.
But the cost of pokemon meat is above thousands so he picked pork meat.
[You bought a high quality pork, price 500 pokedollars]
"Um, uncle do you know how to cook?" Ed asked
"I know a thing or two why ?" Dan asked
"I have meat here, I found it from the kitchen and I want to eat" Ed said as he took out the pack meat in his bag.
"Sure then I'm also getting hungry I could cook" Also being hungry he gets the pack of meat and cooks in the plane's kitchen. He starts cooking and when the fragrant of the food wraft in the air the 4 kids salivate.
Moments later Dan finished cooking and the children was eager to eat.
"Thanks for the food!" When they tried the food they couldn't help but gobble up their food. Ed took out Ralts and gave him some.
"Uncle, how about becoming my chef!" The young heir, a child full of wealth exclaimed as he ate the food prepared by Dan it was delicious like he was eating from a five star restaurant. Inviting Dan to become his family chef and forgetting about what just happened.
"No uncle become our chef uncle, I live in Sootopolis City and we have many wonders there " Wallace said as he couldn't let this opportunity go and this made the two have a fight of words.
"Are you not stopping them Ed?" Winona asked
"NAh, if they really could invite uncle Dan I will visit them. They pay while I just eat." Ed said but this heard by Wallace rebute Ed.
"What are you about we are far from each other and who said you could freeload?"
"Where does Steven live?" Hearing what Wallace said Ed asked
"He live in Rustboro City just near Verdanturf" Winona answered
"Uncle, how about becoming Steven's chef?" Ed said when he got the answer from Winona
"Wha! YOU!" Wallace was shocked from what Ed said and Steven who want to say something about Ed stopped and think if Ed could find rare stones Ed would give it to him and also Dan could become his chef so he stare at Dan.
"How about uncle open a restaurant?" Winona suggested which stop the squibbles of the three boys. Then they immediately start planning on opening a restaurant.
"Hahahah" Dan seeing the action of the kids, couldn't help but laugh to the kids antics they didn't even ask for his opinion.
On the other hand Altaria and Swellow who was guarding outside couldn't help but feel hungry from the smell of the food. They already used so much energy and now the fragrance made them more hungry. The two pokemon look at each other and simultaneously said
"Swel-low"
"Arl ya"
-How about you go inside-
"Swel swellow" no no you can go first
"Aa altaria" no no you first
When Altaria said that, Swellow immediately took action to enter the plane but was stopped by Altaria.
"Arya" What are you doing!
?
"Swel" You said I could go first!
"Al Arya" You are cheating
"Swellow" But you said it yourself
"Arya Arya" You just want to eat for yourself forgetting about your friend
"Swell?" What are you talking about? You just said I could go first
"Aya" But you said it first!
The two wanted to start a fight but they heard an aircraft coming their way and felt their owner's aura which stopped them from fighting.
