Adaman x Female Reader: Second Chance

You took on a difficult challenge by Arceus while it was frenzied. Mentions of death!

You were venturing the Coronet Highlands, going towards the Summit Camp when you heard something call to you. (Y/N), it said, come. Come to the temple. A challenge awaits thee. You cocked an eyebrow at the odd request, but made your way up to the Temple of Sinnoh.

When you got there, Arceus was standing there; a void behind it. It was guiding you to it; you go in with it. “What is this challenge?” you asked. Arceus looks to you, telepathically speaking to you, Thou has fulfilled seeking out all Pokémon in this very land. This challenge is but not an easy one. Thou have to face me as I am frenzied. Show me the skills thou withhold.

The challenge begins with you being equipped with balms to throw at Arceus as it proceeds with battling you. It took you a while to defeat it. You were worn down and wounded from when it struck you a few times. You kept getting back up for every time you blacked out, refusing to quit. It pleased Arceus that you didn’t give in.

So Arceus was now in your possession. You exited the void, but you were feeling weak all over. Your head was throbbing; vision blurring; body numbing. You fell to the ground. The one thing Arceus least expected: you had died.

Meanwhile in the Crimson Mirelands, in his hut, Adaman was having a nightmare. He hadn’t slept too well since hearing you were almost killed by Volo and Giratina. He was awakened by Dialga’s voice in his head, Adaman!

Adaman shrieked and fell out of bed. He quickly stood up. “What!? What is it!?” he asked in panic. Dialga’s voice continues, Hardship has occurred. Pain and grief. (Y/N) has fallen.

Your name being mentioned made Adaman’s ears perk up. “‘Fallen’?” he repeats, wondering what Dialga meant. (Y/N) has died at the Temple of Sinnoh. Adaman’s heart sank. “No!” he snaps. He puts on his shoes and haori and rushes out of his hut to head to the highlands.

“No! No! No!!! She couldn’t have!” he was panicking as he was running. He stumbles upon Wyrdeer; the one Mai sees to. “Wyrdeer,” he says, “take me to the peak of Coronet Highlands! Quick!” Wyrdeer nods and let’s Adaman mount his back, then they set off to Coronet Highlands.

Your body had been laying there for quite a while; eyes left open. Adaman and Wyrdeer approached the Temple of Sinnoh to find you there. He dismounted Wyrdeer and went to your side. He had tears in his eyes the second he saw you. He knelt down to you to roll your body on your back.

That’s when he sees your face; he sees your eyes still opened. It was just too much for him to handle. He quickly stood up to lean over the side of the dais and throw up. Seeing his little sweetheart laying there dead really traumatized him.

You see darkness all around you. Your body no longer hurting; no wounds around your body; no numbness or throbbing. “Huh? What happened? Where am I?” you wondered. You hear Dialga talk to you. Your fight with Arceus caused you to perish. But you will not be dead for long. Adaman is there with you, begging for your revival. Your time is not now. I requested Arceus to give you a second chance of living. You will wake up in Adaman’s arms.

Adaman held you close and wept. He felt he had lost you forever. “(Y/N),” he sobbed, giving your cold lips a soft kiss, not caring if his breath smelled of vomit, “I…I don’t want you to go. Please come back! Please! Don’t leave me!” His sobs were broken; his tears dripping in your opened eyes. He then lowers his head to your chest. He had been begging for you to revive. He was miserable without you. He loved you.

Just then, your wounds healed up and the throbbing in your head subsided along with the numbness in your body. Your heart was beating again and you were breathing again. You blinked; you put your arms around the crying man. Adaman stops crying when realizing you had come back to life. He pulls away to see you; his face was wet with his tears.

“(Y/N)?” he spoke. You put a hand up to his face and wipe his tears away with your thumb. You smiled at him. “Hi, Adaman.” you said. That made Adaman smile and hug you tighter. He whined a little. Though while being hugged, you smelled something awful.

“What smells like puke?” you asked. “Sorry,” Adaman said, “I got a little sick. I was scared.” You thought nothing else of it and give him a kiss on the cheek. “I’m sorry this happened.” you said.

Adaman also kissed you on the cheek. “It wasn’t your doing,” he said, “but I’m just glad you’re alive again.”

You both sat there in each other’s arms for a while until you both went home to the settlement.

Lol combining the idea of lady and goldi being sisters as well as all the cheerleader comparisons make me view them having an argument in, like, valley girl lingo.

"Like, omg, dad totally made ME the new noble!"

"Uh you just happening to be there when he died doesn't mean you, like, get to call dibs."

"UGH 🙄 That is NOT what happened. There was, like, a light show and everything. I, like, talked to GOD. With a capital G."

"You are, like, tooootally so full of shit!"

"Talk to the clae. You're just jealous that I was always tougher than you."

"oh you are such a... Such a... UGH can't even come up with an insult. That's how much of a YOU you are."

"What-ever. I'm here for my warden!"

OP THIS IS SO FUNNY I GENUINELY HAVE NOTHING TO ADD TO THIS

Sneaslers from the 1800’s popularized valley girl lingo around their culture decades before humanity did. That’s it.

Arceus vs Solaris: a Battle of the Deities of Light (narration)

Pre-narration note: this is a companion piece to a discussion over on my lore blog, which you can read here.

---

… What?

This woman was standing alone in confusion. With long, curly platinum blonde hair, and an all black outfit comprised of a v-neck dress shirt and pants with a coat and scarf overneath and high heels at the bottom, she held a red and white ball in her left hand. One thing was very clear to Cynthia, she’s not in the Pokemon battle she thought she was going to be.

When she took in her surroundings she was even more confused. She was at a stone platform, broken marble pillars standing at both sides, resting on top of a mountain’s soil. She knew this place, it was Spear Pillar, resting on top of Mt. Coronet. But the surrounding sky didn’t suggest that, instead looking like a void, all sorts of colours mixing in and out without breaking through the endless purple that covered all of it.

And then she saw that she wasn’t alone. There were two people, one looked like some sort of child wearing old fashioned clothing - styled after the Hisui era, was the woman’s first guess - laying on the ground unconscious.

The other was an elderly man - white hair that connected to an equally white goatee and beard, wearing what looked a mix between a royal white robe with a suit, orange neckline and shoulder pads resting atop an electronic device attached to the front, with big, brown boots. He was on his knees, looking forlorn to the sun.

Wait, no… That’s not the sun.

“It’s too late…”

Something bad was happening, that’s for sure, and so she approached the old man and kneeled in front of him. “What’s going on?” Getting some answers was the most important thing to start off with.

The man looked over in surprise to Cynthia, before slowly looking back to the sky. “Solaris refused to listen to me. And now it is going to bring all to an end. This is my fault…”

“Solaris?” Cynthia matched his gaze to the sky, squinting until she could make out what looked like… An eagle? No, it can’t be that…

Then she heard something behind herself, looking back to see that the child had awoken. They took one look at what was going on and their eyes widened, before looking over to the surrounding region. Staring at Spear Pillar…

Then, without saying a word, they brought out their flute and put it to their lips, playing an ethereal tune.

[azure flute theme]

Cynthia didn’t see anything at first, until the child began walking forwards, their feet ascending into the air as if they were walking on air.

Then she blinked, and the stairway of glowing light was illuminated. Stunned at first, she quickly rushed after the child, matching their pace up the stairs.

She knew what she saw at the top, though she could not believe that it was real. A being of golden, shining light, standing on four legs in the vague resemblance of a deer, an X-shaped cross through its body - wait, no, it stopped at a ring placed right around its waist.

It was Arceus. A shiny Arceus.

[Team Arceus theme | Team Solaris theme]

THOU DARE HARM MY CREATION

She did not hear a voice speak out, and yet she knew exactly what words were said. She also knew that they weren’t directed at her. She looked back up to the sky.

THOU THREATEN TO TEAR IT ALL ASUNDER

Arceus then began flying right in front of Cynthia’s eyes - no, it would be more accurate to say it simply willed itself up, like the very concepts of gravity, weight, even space itself held no meaning.

THEN THOU SHALT FACE MY JUDGEMENT

Arceus used Judgement!

The X-shaped cross turned a light purple as a hail of beams from the sky rained down upon Solaris, completely consuming it in the purple light.

Only for it to fade, leaving Solaris’s unnerving white glow behind.

“It’s no use.” The old man was delayed in getting to the top, due to his old age and poor condition - whatever had happened prior to all of this had clearly worn him down. “Solaris is truly invincible.”

“Arceus created the world…” Cynthia was quiet, but that’s all that was needed for her to be heard. “If anything has what it takes to get past that, it’s Arceus.”

Arceus’s eyes flashed, one an everlasting blue and the other an ever present pink, and like that two more Pokemonexisted where they didn’t before.

A dark blue, four legged beast with what appeared to have silver armour pieces resembling a helmet, a chest piece, and a fan-shaped tail was on one side.

A pale pink two legged beast with thin purple stripes along its body, a long tail, and an elongated neck leading into a straight frill was on the other.

Cynthia stared upon them, mouth agape. “It’s Palkia and Dialga, masters over time and space!”

Arceus backed up as the other two Pokemon fought, focusing itself as the glows in its eyes vanished, replaced by a black void in each.

Palkia used Spacial Rend!

Palkia lifted its arms up and slammed them together, before sliding one arm up and the other down - all of space in front of it distorting to mirror its movements, right over Solaris. Then it spread its arms apart, the affected space splitting in half to match.

And yet Solaris was fine, an orange orb - with an ethereal eye that stared at whoever looked upon it - opening up and firing out a purple spiky ball. Palkia evaded the attack effortlessly - but yet when it reached where Palkia used to be the being still flinched back as if it were hit, stumbling back.

“The eyes of Solaris,” the old man said. “As it exists throughout all of time… So do its eyes perceive all of it.

Dialga used Roar of Time!

Dialga roared out immediately afterwards -  to Cynthia it lasted only a moment, to the old man it lasted for an hour, and to the child it didn’t last any time at all, causality ripping apart as the roar spread out to Solaris, pushing it back.

Immediately the one orange orb became many orbs, countless orbs, firing off more purple spikes at the two Pokemon.

Palkia began dodging once more, this time distorting space itself to redirect the spikes away from where they once were.

Dialga joined in, distorting time so that the spikes just skip past Dialga without traversing the time in-between.

Then Solaris fired a laser directly at Arceus, launching the Pokemon back, so far back that it can no longer be seen.

Palkia briefly turned to Dialga, and was met with the other Pokemon turning back to it - the two briefly nodding.

Palkia used Spacial Rend!

Dialga used Roar of Time!

Palkia drew its arms in together, folding space down into one singular point ahead of the two Pokemon, while Dialga let out another roar, reaching directly into the impossibly small space, tearing all of time contained within asunder.

Still Solaris was unharmed, ready to launch more at the two of them.

Only for something to grab it from behind.

Giratina used Shadow Force!

It was a shadow from the void, no distinct features besides the glowing red, devilish eyes it possessed and four black tendrils wrapping around Solaris.

“What’s that?” the old man exclaimed in shock, eyes wide. For the first time, hope returned in his frail old body.

“Giratina,” Cynthia said softly, her eyes still locked at the battle for reality. “Even the Renegade Pokemon was summoned to help…”

Arceus used Calm Mind!

The summoner, Arceus, returned with a fierce glare. Its mind and spirit focused solely on this battle as its allies fought for it.

It fired out another Judgement, piercing even harder than it had before.

Solaris flinched from the hit, a piece of its armour breaking off, pale blue fragments floating off into the void.

Just as it looked like victory was night, a new type of orb formed alongside the orange ones.

Blue orbs, which formed right on top of Arceus, Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina.

Palkia instinctively bent space until it was no longer near the orb, watching as the remaining three were instantly crushed away into nothing - only for a barrage of purple orbs to bring down Palkia moments later.

“No!” Cynthia yelled out, reaching an arm out to the sky. Then she dropped to her knees, arm still held up high. “No…”

So that was it. This thing was going to destroy everything…

It was over…

… No. It’s not over yet. Whatever this thing was, she wasn’t going to let it have its way as long as she drew breath. Cynthia grabbed one of her Pokeballs, ready to fight.

THOU SHALT NOT DESTROY MY CREATION

She stopped in place. That was… This peaceful, golden light… Cynthia looked back up to see the source of the light. She couldn’t make out any details behind it, but she knew. This was Arceus, still. But how?

As if to answer her question, the sky suddenly became filled. More Arceus than the eye could see. More Arceus than she could count. Not even the purple void of a sky could be seen, as everywhere she looked was just more Arceus.

Each and every single one of them focused their power together.

Arceus used Judgement!

Together, an endless barrage of light, flashing and glittering in all 18 colours, rained down upon Solaris’s body, the being yelling out in pain and agony. The combined power was too much for it, as more armour broke off from it…

And then it expanded its light, destroying every single one of the Pokemon in a single flash of light, turning up to the golden light that was their source.

FACE MY JUDGEMENT

The two beings focused their raw power, the inhuman white light clashing against the life filled golden light.

Cynthia, the old man, and the child all shielded their eyes. This light… it was too much… They… can’t… even…

…

Cynthia blinked, looking around. What was-

“Hey, your Pokemon?”

That’s right, she was about to fight a trainer who had challenged her for the position of Champion. Still, something lingered in the back of her mind even as she threw out Spiritomb against her opponent, shouting commands for it to follow.

It was almost like she had forgotten something.

Post narration note: for those of you who didn’t realise it, the child is meant to be the Hisuian protagonist (and were left nondescript on purpose for you to apply whatever appearance you personally imagine for them), and the old man is meant to be the Duke of Soleanna, who lacks a personal name unlike his daughter Elise

Help i downloaded a file onto my laptop called “bonzibuddy”, and now my laptop runs super slow :(

[pokemaster91]

We may not be in our own time, but that doesn’t mean we are not going to win! Rei & Decidueye are ready to fly some arrows and hit the target!

[senior-camper-nikita]

I grew up believing in the Almighty Sinnoh!

Not sure if it is a Pokémon or something else entirely, but it created the whole world!

I think there’s lots of places, towns and even regions named after it! But I don’t think belief in the Almighty Sinnoh exists outside my home region of Sinjoh anymore.

i have a question

[diamond-leader-adaman]

So, Irida went back to Hisui with the help of Palkia, and I’m still here in the modern day.

Apparently a desert appeared in Hisui in the time we were gone? I’m not sure how to feel about this… We weren’t gone that long either…

[pokemaster91]

The Pearl Clan are going to find out what we are doing here! Irida & Glaceon have been pulled forward in time to battle at Pasio!

[ann-chovi]

I have assembled

GOD

[diamond-leader-adaman]

I’m disappointed in what Hisui has become in the modern day.

[attached is a picture of a golisopod. there's no caption or anything]

Again, please keep your unsightly Pokemon out of our submission box. There are no cute bug-types.

[applesjuice]

Mmmh, I wonder... why did Arceus choose Akari/Kiki and no one else....

Oh! It could be like a paradox! Something like: Dialga (god of time) knew that Akari wasn't from this period but didn't know why they were here. Then, centuries later, he see a copy of his trainer/friend/buddy and goes "oooooh, hey Arceus could you quickly put this child in the past, you'll understand why :D". It's actually a time loop!

Or it could go as if Arceus knew that something was happening in the past and quickly needed someone to fix it. And then see this kid who is going to be BLASTED by a turtle and goes "You're my favorite now, we're having soft tacos in Hisui :D"

Hehehe, these are just theories that went trough my mind when I tought about your AU xD

It’s pretty much the second one LOL. So Arceus noticed something up with the space time rifts in the past that was messing with the timeline. In my AU a space time rift in the subway sent Ingo to the past and he lost his memories to Uxie. Arceus knew what was up with Volo since it is all knowing and all seeing and needed someone with modern knowledge to put a stop to it, like someone with battle knowledge. Since Ingo was there it hoped that would be enough of a change but Ingo masked real hard and adapted a little too well so Arceus needed a plan b.

It couldn’t just yoink someone willynilly like it needed to get someone that technically brushed it’s realm to truey affect the outcome of where they went, and the terapagos blast kind of did that. It’s powerful enough to rip a hole into space and time and Kieran was caught in the middle. Arceus knows all it’s people therefore it knew Kieran who technically was a strong trainer and when he wasn’t having a mental breakdown, could be very driven and loved Pokemon. So it was a “free real estate” moment where Arceus kind of just yoinked Kieran and was like here you go and deposited him in ancient Sinnoh. Only thing is that seeing the face of god scrambled Kieran’s brain a bit. Arceus really went oops sorry but I got you the latest iPhone as an apology.

Arceus did kind of want Dawn to go back but couldn’t mess with the timeline to that extent, Kieran was convenient. But Arceus grew very fond of Kieran/Akari so now Arceus has two favorites.

These 2 are meances among society. Don't trust em

Pics taken of the Twins Karla (my Trainer) and Mateo ( @shiominato trainer). They are haters to everyone, including each other

Also this abomination

[nemesis-is-my-middle-name]

anyway so the idea i posted about having last night was

due to Side Effects from falling through the rift, ingo is like. a little bit stuck in the hall of origin. which is mostly a passive effect but it does mean that he visits it in dreams constantly, but also

he's so cosmically insignificant that arcues doesn't notice or care that he's there

so he just gets to spy on god indefinitely.

giratina's shenanigans translate in that plane to the hall of origin breaking and mending continually

which also allows brief views into other times/places. so this in effect translates to very confusing-to-interpret prophetic dreams.

anyway that's basically it that's the elevator pitch

[mushroom-for-art]

So this takes place in the au where May doesn't escape Team Rocket and becomes an asset, specifically an au with @blues-sues 's Rue so like Rue!Au I guess? XD idk hope you enjoy

Cave-in

It was meant to be a routine area sweep, it was meant to just be a normal routine area sweep! Survey, look for anything out of place, report it, track it if valuable or useful, apprehend and capture. It had all happened so fast, one of the people's Voltorbs had a wobbly and used self-destruct. The whole mountain side shook, people and pokemon went flying, May and Rue had avoided the initial devastating blast but the rocks beneath them crumbled before either of them could react around the ringing headaches. They'd hit the cavern floor hard and lost consciousness, Mays AEI's (artificial energy introducers) had shattered when she hit the floor.

They fizzled and hissed before sending a weak current of electricity through Mays body jolting her awake in the darkness of the cave, she sat up looking around and could hear Rue quietly huffing and maybe crying. She glanced around struggling to see in the darkness realizing her glasses were cracked and that the hole they fell in through caved in on itself somehow so they couldn't get back out that way.

"Rue…?" She barely whispered, very aware that other pokemon may be inside this cave system they had fallen into and that they could attack, her eyes blinking and slowly adjusting to the darkness.

"Yea. I'm over here." Rue answered shortly her tone slightly pained as May slowly hesitantly walked over, promptly stubbing her toe on a rock and whimpering an "ow ow ouch!"

"What happened?! Was it a pokemon?! Are you okay??" Rue's voices betrayed her panic as she tried to sit up and quickly yelped, falling back down and making another pained sob, "Arceus dammit! Muk!" She gritted her teeth in frustration as May more cautiously tip-toed closer.

"hey hey easy, I'm sorry I just stubbed my toe, what's the matter you sound hurt how bad is it?" May crouched down besides Rue feeling more than useless as she asked questions she moved her arm tapping a broken AEI hoping the electricity might spark enough to life to offer some light to no avail. Frowning she could only squint the best she could to see moving her hand cautiously to tap around to really find Rue.

"I'm fine-" Rue lied, badly. Her tone gave away her pain and she growled as May lightly tapped her arm, "stop that, stop fretting!" May pulled her hand away quickly putting her hands up in surrender though she wasn't sure if Rue could actually see.

"Sorry sorry! I can't see very well, I was trying to find you, see if I could give you a quick check over." May fumbled as Rue snorted.

"In the dark? When you can't see?" May made an awkward noise as Rue continued with a sigh, "I think I hurt my leg, pretty bad too, and my arm. Just everywhere where I landed hurt. I'm surprised you're not more hurt. You landed on your face, your nose is bleeding."

"It is?" May asked dumbly, moving to touch her snout, it had been hurting and running more than usual but she'd thought it was from the cold in the cave, sure enough her fingers felt wet as she made a slight "huh" sound tilting her head back saying "gross. Sorry if I bled on you." Rue puffed a light scoff.

"Quit apologizing, you didn't." Rue looked at the other, besides cracked glasses bloody nose cuts from the broken glass of the AEIs which were bust she'd faired pretty alright, "sure you don't have increased defense?" Rue playfully asked, laughing before hissing in pain as that hurt. "Shouldn't you be leaning your head forward?"

May blinked making an "uuhh" sound that sounded strange from where she was pinching at her nose before moving to lean forward rather than back offering a quiet "sorry" which Rue would've bat her for was she not making an effort to be still.

When her nose finally stopped bleeding May awkwardly mumbled, "I'm sorry you're here badly hurt and I'm here with a stupid nose bleed and you're helping me, what can I do?" Rue could only sigh.

"I don't know, I. I think we're meant to keep me still? If anythings broken and you shift me about then it'll only get worse? And surely the others will be looking for us. So we need to stay put and wait for them to come and collect us." May could only nod lamely offering a quiet, "yea" of agreement.

May awkwardly reached out again before stopping "am, I on your hurt side? Did I hurt you before?" Her voice was soft and guilty.

"You're fine, no I was just, annoyed, I don't like this situation is all." Rue sighed softly in frustration as May awkwardly tapped about finding Rues arm after a bit of uncertain prodding and awkwardly holding her arm in one hand attempting to offer comfort and also kind of scared in case she somehow lost Rue to an after shock or a pokemon snatching her away silently at least if she had hold of her she knew where she was.

Rue shifted her uninjured arm and May awkwardly let go, putting her hands up in surrender once more, trying to hide her concern and hurt. Rue tutted at her impatiently, grabbing one of Mays hands in hers and pulling both their arms down to rest over her chest bump. Mays' tail swayed shyly as her other hand came to rest on her lap as she sat on her knees.

"I can sense you fretting. I'll probably sense anything before you, we'll be fine they won't dare try and attack two of us!" Rue reassured May, giving her a confident grin despite her injuries. "Plus maybe you'll give me some of your defense like this," she gave a soft laugh and another smile. May wished she could give Rue some of her health simply by holding her hand, she squeezed softly and Rue squeezed back. They could only wait.

--------------------------

Rues pain had gotten worse and it had surely been a while, on the cold cavern floor she was shivering which didn't help her injured half the shivers sending twitches of pain through her body. They'd thankfully been left alone by any pokemon but May quietly wondered if that meant there was something bad about this point in the cave, she hated that no one had come for Rue yet she hated that it was surely getting dark out and that the cold was seeping in ever faster.

"Muk it's cold…" Rue quietly hissed in pain, her teeth chattered slightly as May could feel her hand shaking. She felt helpless, knowing no moves and Rue couldn't use any moves in her state or risk making herself worse. She wished she had one of those coats the people wore so she could lay it over Rue but she didn't. She gently squeezed Rue's hand.

"Do, you want me to lie with you and try to warm you up?" She offered unsure, not wanting to hurt Rue by accident.

"No, no, if we do that and fall asleep we might not, well if it gets too cold that could be really bad and one of us needs to stay alert. Plus your knees must be freezing already." Rue spoke softly, and May shrugged, her knees hurt but if it meant being by Rues side then she'd live. She felt Rue slowly let go of her hand.

"Maybe you should go look around, maybe you could find something for me or maybe there's someone nearby that you can lead here?" Rue offered, she was clearly unsure and May was worried about why Rue was sending her away. "Look it makes sense you might find something fluffy or a camper to rob," Rue gave her a playful grin.

May frowned uncertainly but if Rue thought she should, "I promise I'll be back," she slowly stood ignoring the pain in her knees and chest she had started to ache from the cold and probably bruising, "I'm not gonna go far though I'm not leaving you." Rue puffed softly.

"I know you ain't. You're soft like that." But smiling softly and kindly to her as May gave her an awkward nod looking around and tiptoeing through the cavern. She stopped, "you'll yell if you need me right?"

"Yea I'll let you know." May nodded once more before wandering awkwardly into the cave system.

'Got to find something to help Rue, got to find help or something to help Rue, got to find help or something to help Rue,' She repeated those thoughts over and over as she looked around sniffing faintly at the rock walls and mosses that grew for any indication of good healing properties.

'Can't you do that yourself?' A voice spoke in her head that wasn't hers, she spun around quickly trying to spot any nearby activity, any psychic types that might be projecting into her brain. 'There's nothing else in this cave but you and Rue, that explosion scared everything away.' it spoke again to her, right in her head, a female voice she didn't know.

'Who,, are you?' May thought awkwardly, 'Consider me an inner monologue.' the voice replied. 'don't people usually, control their inner monologues? Like it's just their voice right?' She heard the other voice scoff, 'well if you don't want my help.' Her mind went silent as the cave sounds drifted back into focus. 'Wait no! If you can help, please come back!' She thought loudly and helplessly spinning around shouting in her head to please please come back!

'Oh stop shouting, you'll give us both a headache,' they returned, sounding irritated. 'I'm sorry, please, I need your help desperately. Rues hurt and-' they scoffed again, 'I'm aware, inner monologue I know what the situation is and I'm very much aware that you have the power to fix it.' May shook her head, 'I'm powerless unfortunately, I can't do anything.' It laughed, 'you can mega evolve can't you?' it almost mocked. May huffed a frustrated snort looking at her AEIs, 'not with these bust, I thought you knew this? I think you're just muk-ing with me.' She sneered in annoyance, moving to look around again annoyed at wasting her time.

'What if I told you how you could mega without those silly little bracelets?' It chimed in sweetly after a few minutes causing May to pause in contemplation, 'how?' If she really could mega right now, well she was very powerful when mega she could help Rue. 'just like that. Think. Why do you want to mega?' May furrowed her brow in confusion, 'so I can be strong and be useful and so I can get Rue to team base and get her help of course! She's my friend and she's hurt and I want to help her! I have to help her!' The megastone in her chest faintly buzzed with energy though she didn't notice.

'You're overcomplicating it. Pick a single goal, focus on that goal, will every fiber of your being to achieve that goal force yourself to bend and snap and break if you have to to get there!' The voice took on a dark undertone as it commanded but May could barely notice for the buzzing in her ears as she clenched her hands into fists focusing on what she needed to do, she had to get Rue out of here to the base, she had to get Rue medical treatment and get her out the cold, she had to help her, she had to help her friend, she had to-!

'I have to help Rue!' Her voice yelled in her head as a strange rush ran through her body, she felt power breaking out of the mega stone in her chest flowing through her, altering her body, the power was warm and came in waves like a flame and, it didn't hurt, not like when the AIEs were used on her.

She stumbled slightly on her elongated toes and blinked looking around, she could, see? And she. She was aware? Normally when she went mega she lost awareness and only came to afterwards when back to normal. This was great! It means she could focus and knew she'd be getting Rue help! Now, which way back to Rue. The mega evolving left her slightly discombobulated, at least until a psychic wave like echolocation left her body and pinged back where it met Rue. She moved quickly on her longer legs rushing back a bit ungracefully to get to her friend.

Rue shivered on the floor still, hoping that May came back with help or something warm, though after feeling a wave of psychic energy she went on high alert. She could hear something rapidly approaching and she couldn't really do much to defend herself. She struggled to crane her head to look lifting her uninjured hand trying to summon any kind of energy as a warning shot as whatever it was got closer and closer, until-

A, mega mewtwo came into view and May beamed at her friend as she ran over while Rue remained alert and aware of the fact the mega version of her friend was a brutal fighter. But. Her eyes were different as Rue opened her mouth while looking at her confused.

"Your eyes are brown?" Rue asked, evidently confused. And this question only served to confuse May in return.

"Aaahh??? Yes?? My eyes are brown!" May answered in confused certainty moving to crouch down beside her friend once more, looking over Rue and frowning at the damage she could now see. Half of Rue was badly bruised, her arm was hanging limply at an odd angle and her leg also looked damaged.

"Normally, they go yellow?" Rue said now unsure as she watched Mays eyes almost shift as they scanned over her looking past and through her body almost. Mays face only pulled deeper into a frown as she looked at Rues leg seeing her bones and how one of them was definitely broken, thankfully it was a clean break. Her eyes drifted to Rues arm, thankfully just dislocated and bruised up with no broken bones though she hoped the dislocating cold and continued position it was in didn't cause nerve damage.

"Your legs' broken, arms only dislocated though," May reassured, blinking her eyes back to normal, "do, you want me to?" she moved her hands as though grabbing an arm in the air and doing a vague shoving up motion to indicate relocating it. Rues eyes fell to look at her arms, she was part fighting type now and it showed she was big and powerful and Rue had seen her in fights. But she didn't seem the same. Normally when mega she was quick and brutal and didn't speak and barely seemed like the mewtwo Rue knew, and yet right now she did just seem like a bigger version of her friend as she blinked down at her sweetly.

"Everything okay?" May tilted her head as she looked down at Rue in concern and care. Rue made a noise giving her a smile.

"Yea, you're just different to usual. Well. Relocate this arm girl I'm cold," Rue chuckled grinning at May hiding her fear of how much this was gonna hurt. May moved carefully sitting Rue up letting her lean against her leg as she knelt on one knee and kept the other just bent, she carefully moved to hold Rues arm who winced softly.

"I'm sorry," she moved the arm carefully into position so it would go back in the socket, "I'll relocate it on 3 okay?" Rue nodded with a slight whimper, "okay, one," Rue breathed trying to steady herself already feeling the nerves creeping in, "two." May quickly popped the arm back into the socket while Rue was distracted and less tense earning a long squeak of pain followed quickly by a "YOU GIT" And Rue quickly batting at her with her uninjured arm. May figured she deserved that as Rue swatted at her before huffing out a growl in her general direction.

"I'm sorry you'd have gotten all tense otherwise, do you forgive me?" May awkwardly pleaded.

"You're a swinub," Rue grumbled as May made an apologetic noise, "you're gonna hate me even more when I do your leg." Rue glared "Do not try to pop my leg back."

May waved her hands in surrender, "oh! No no not what I meant, I'm going to use my powers to hopefully realign the bones then I'm hoping I can like use psychic to lock hold it in place so your bones don't float about and also put psychic on your whole leg so it doesn't move?" Rue raised an eyebrow suspiciously.

"You can do that now?" To which May uselessly shrugged in uncertainty, "I hope I can!" Rue was not that comforted by that. She moved her hand over Rues leg holding it above to not touch, focusing herself, she wanted to align the bones then lock the whole leg so it didn't move easy enough. Rue watched her eyes change again observing her bones it seemed and made a noise of discomfort at the sensation in her leg.

"Sorry sorry," May apologized as psychic energy quickly gripped and binded to Rues broken bone and leg. She made a soft ooh in her discomfort once more as it felt strange and ached but less so than before and when she'd tried to move it on her own.

"Guess you could do that…not bad," Rue awkwardly nodded, feeling just slightly jealous at Mays newfound capabilities. May didn't pick up on this shifting to Rues good side while still holding her upright, she slipped an arm under Rues legs and while supporting and holding her back she lifted easily scooping Rue off of the floor making a concerned noise, "you really are freezing! I'm so sorry I took so long!"

Rue hummed leaning into May feeling the warmth radiating off of her, "I'll forgive you since you're warm." May looked around once more a wave of psychic energy flowed from her, causing a warm wave of energy to flow through Rue too. After a few moments she sighed.

"That explosion and aftershocks caused cave-ins, that's why no-ones came to get us, no one can get in, all the other pokemon must've known this was a danger spot and fled." Rue made a noise, she could use psychic energy waves to see far away like echolocation too now apparently.

May looked over to roughly where they fell in from, "I have an idea. Sorry if this hurts" The arm supporting Rues back and holding her side shifted wrapping her hand under Rues legs with Rue being carefully shifted so her back was more against her shoulder effectively holding her in one arm like a baby, Mays arm was slightly pressing on her injured side but it would've happened had she used her other arm too.

Eyeing up the wall she mentally marked out where she needed to hit, she wiggled her fingers on her now free hand clenching them into a tight fist and gearing her arm up pulling back to punch, she WAS going to make a way for them to get out, her eyes glowed and her fist glowed brighter with energy before she shot out a punch her bound up elasticated energy penetrating through the stone wall with devastating power and efficiency.

May grinned with teeth at the hole she'd made looking mighty proud of herself before quickly jogging over still holding Rue like a baby though her free arm quickly coming to hold and secure Rue properly in her hold as she hopped up leaping onto the edge of the entrance she'd made before adjusting her feet to slide down the side of the mountain they'd been trapped in.

It was dark now, as she slid down not minding the cold of the snow on her toes but holding Rue close when she shivered in the cold night breeze. She leapt from the mountain once close enough to the bottom landing in the frosty grass before the forest. Looking around she sensed camp, glancing at Rue to make sure she was still secure and okay she set off in a light run.

Though a light run for the mega was a speeding bullet for Rue still held securely in her friends arm watching trees shoot past them at dangerous speeds, while Rue was worried one wrong judgment could leave them splatted against the bark of a pine-tree for May she barely processed the speeds at which she was achieving her brain going just as quickly to allow her to run through the trees safely.

She slid to a stop at the edge of the team rocket base camp sighing softly and chuckling, "huh I guess it wasn't that far away after all," May spoke naively glancing at Rue who looked half terrified, "ah? What's wrong, are you okay?"

"Almighty Sinnoh, Arceus! Do you have any idea how fast you were going?!" Rue demanded, earning a startled confused look from the mega who glanced back and saw the dust and frost cloud she kicked up in her haste, "ah..i'm sorry I didn't realize but we're here now! You're going to be okay. Let's just get you to the medic!"

Taking another step forward there was a faint glow and Mays mega form dissipated leaving her back to her usual self still holding Rue who felt significantly bigger in her arms. She wheezed softly more so from the sudden exhaustion that smacked her in the face than Rue resting on one knee still holding onto her friend, before pulling herself back up to stand to carry Rue. Despite her powers fading the psychic binding on Rues leg seemed to have remained as she was carried to the medic tent.

The team doctor looked at them both opening their mouth in disbelief at their return considering what happened before motioning to a bed saying snippily, "put her there," May nodded placing Rue on the bed, quickly rambling "she had a dislocated arm, I relocated it, she's also got a broken leg bone clean break here," she motioned without touching, "I realigned it with psychic and held her bone and leg still with a psychic grip too and she's got bruising-" "Right. I got it I'll deal with it thank you," they cut in with no sincerity in their thank.

"Go run along go, carry something around we're in absolute chaos after that stupid voltorb nonsense so go make yourself useful. I don't want you underfoot." They had no patience for her as they went about checking over Rue. May awkwardly swallowed, saying softly, "okay, I'll see you later Rue," waving a hand she left to go help. Rue opened her mouth to protest, to tell them May was hurt too and should get looked over but was quickly given a heavy sedative and painkiller cocktail followed by an oxygen mask as the medic spoke, "deep breaths now count back from 10 or something so I can fix this blasted leg."

May busied herself making herself useful around the base carrying this moving that, none of the grunts really looked at her as they told her what to do. Her mind was filled with worry for Rue hoping that she'd be okay and that the doctor would fix her leg up no problem, her mind was so consumed by her own thoughts she didn't feel the creeping in the back of her mind as a voice that wasn't hers considered this experience very interesting and she didn't really notice the ache of her chest bump anymore.
