Lucius woke up to the sound of excitement and the buzz of activity."Wow", he said."The best morning in Volcrona Guild, probably ever!" The unusual-looking room (that was, on closer examination, a tent) was the sleeping quarters for Volcorona's guild, and they were the only ones left sleeping on the dirt floor, most of the others having left the red-and-yellow striped (running vertically, of course) tent to go on missions or doing chores.Today, thankfully, was a day off for team Storm, Lucius' team. The remaining ones were talking in little hushed voices, seaming to be more railed up than when a Mystery Dungeon springs up that has stronger Pokémon than anyone has seen before.

"Your only saying that because you got to sleep late," Eve complained."I woke up to the sound of Slaking's Uproar, while you slept through it like a snorlax!"

"Not like a snorlax. Even I woke up!"Carrie, the guild's only snorlax, commented.

"Heh, Looks you got beaten at your own game, and by a little Riolu, too."

"If I wasn't impressed, and maybe a little jealous, I would Full Body Slam you, Lucius.

"Yeah, Lucius," Eve chimed in, "I didn't know you had Soundproof!"

Eve fell to the ground, laughing, and even Carrie had a hearty chuckle.

"I don't you stupid eevee,"Lucius growled playfully."I have Keen Eye. And using my keen eyes, I want to ask you a question: why is everyone excited?"

"They found an oddly speaking pokemon at Celebi's Grace! She is a Fenniken, and she says her name is Fern, but she has a really weird sentence structure. Like 'how are you' is 'you how are' to her."All in one very exited breath, Eve explained the situation.

"Ughh.Keep it down will you?" A voice said."And 'you how are' is middle Poke, not odd at all, just really out of style and old-fashioned."

"I should have known,"Lucius groans,"I was scared of you for a sec, Typhon, you history nut, you."

"What?" The larvitar asks, "why?"

"Cause you spoke outta the blue back there!"

The larvatar is taken aback."Sorry. Let's just go see Fern, or whatever her name is, at Celebi's Grace."

"Yeah! Come on team Storm! Let's go see the new pokemon!"

"What about me?"Carrie mumbled, and then the room was silent.

"Ugh..." The brightness of the morning eyes stabbed her in the eyes as she slowly opened them. Shaking it off, she awoke to a painful throbbing in her head, like someone had just whacked her across the head with some sort of blunt item. "Ow, had my," she whimpered rubbing her delicate skull, the pulsating throbs from inside never ceasing. What a way to wake up in the morning. But burnt-out retinas and a migraine were the least of her worries: she soon realized she slept in an unfamiliar, foreign town. "I am where?" She asked herself under hyperventilating breath. Her eyes buzzed about the scene, everything about her environment was totally unrecognizable to her. How did she end up here? Where was she? It all seemed so surreal to her, it might as well be just a crazy dream. No matter how many times she told herself that, though, it didn't wake her from the dream. "Mama?" She started to cry aloud. "Mama, where you are?"

"Safe", a large and scary Bug with six large, red petal-like wings on its back,and a white fuzz covering half of its body. "I am Volcrona, a guild mistress, and you are from the Past, by the way you speak. "

"Future this is?"

"Yes, child. But you are safe here. What is your name?"

"Fern name mine is."

"Ok, Fern. You are safe here."

"Sorry am I, miss guild mistress, very quickly mind yours must scan I."

"Hmmm?" Volcorona said uncomprehendingly as Fern completed her task.

"You talk different here," Fern said. If Volcorona was surprised by the sudden change in the scentance structure, she didn't show it.

"Yes we do. I don't want to force you to give up your language, but if you are to fit in here, you must learn to speak like us. Now to answer your question, you are in Forest Hall."

Suddenly, a Dragonair, Zia, Volcorona's attendant and an exceedingly stubborn and independent Pokémon, appeared, making his way through the crowd.

"Make way! Coming through! Volcrona's only team of one here!"

Volcrona heated up, preparing her Fiery Dance. "Do not act like this, Zia, it gives us a bad name."

The powerful Dagonair flickered and dissapeared, reveiling a very smug looking zorua. "Ha! Fooled ya, Volcey! Its me, Fras!"

Volcrona came even closer to Fiery Dance, the only thing keeping her back being the public property around her and the bad name it would give her Guild.

"Hey, it was just a joke! Anyway, I did some adventuring with Team Hurricane. I found an axew egg near Dragon's Maze!"

Fern, forgotten and bewildered, recognized something she knew, asked "Dragon's Maze? You do.. I mean do you mean Maze of the Dragon?"

"Who's this chick, Vulcey?" Fras asked.

"I am no torchic," Fern

"Don't call me Vulcey, or I will kick you out of the guild! Anyways, this is Fern, a fenniken from the Past."

"Wow.. Observant as always Vulcey," Fras says, an instant before getting blasted in the face with an Overheat

Vulcrona, satisfied, starts humming a line from Destiny's Way, her favorite line, and a line that she thought sounded a bit familiar.

• "Wait.."Volcrona starts. Didn't Destiny's Way have something about a psychic from the past? Yeah, A Psychic from the Days of Old brought forth through the Guardian's Grace... Isn't Celibi sometimes called the Guardian... And aren't Feniken mildly psychic?!

"What, Vulcrona?"

"Nothing, Fras, just thinking of something. Go home and meat up with Team Storm. I'm Finally giving you your assignment.

"Hey, thanks! Now about that egg..."

"Keep it, raise him as your own."

***********

The first has found out... Watch out cause I won't tell you next when details become clear. Only by paying attention will you find the next clues =p

********

When Team Storm, Lucius, Eve and Typhon, arrived to the scene, the first thing they saw was a Feniken, talking normally, and making a deal with Volcrona to join the guild.

"You said she talked weird!"

"She did. Aperently "Volcey" over here had a psychic reading so she could learn how to talk again. Appenently Fras was here, too."

"How'd you know that, ya punney eevee?"Lucius asked half jokingly.

"Fenneken can't help but to broadcast their thoughts to anyone who will listen."

"Arceus, your so nerdy sometimes!!"

"What's a 'nerdy'?" A female voice asked.Lucius and Team Storm turned around to see a small fox, golden-furred with red tufts coming out of her ears and a red-tipped tail."Oh, I'm sorry that I startled you."

"No-biggie! Its Fern, right? Everyone in town is talking about you! Is this how all of you firefoxes look?" The riolu said quickly, blushing at being scared. Again.

"Yeah, you look kinda like a flareon, just smaller!"

The little Riolu almost took a double take, as Eve's form flickered slightly, letting off a slight glow as her form shifted to having a bit of a red tinge, like a flareon. And for a split second, she had dark yellow, almost orange, scarf-like catch of fur around her neck and the small, black eyes typical of flareon, but then it was gone, leaving Lucius's mind realing.

"What's a 'nerdy' and what's a 'no biggie'?"

"And that's the first lesson. That is a type of modern speech, called slang, and you don't have to use it, but you will learn to understand it In time. 'No-biggie' is short for no big deal, for starters."

"Slow down, Lucius, you'll scare her off!" Eve said, giggling.

"At least I can comb my fur, hairball!"

"And at least I can control my abilities, not like your Aura Sphere"

"You wanna see Aura Sphere? Here ya go!"Lucius said,concentrating his aura and charging up the blast of blue light, ready to attack.

"Oh, look at the sun!" Typhoon interjects before the banter turned to a full fledged fight. Fern stiffles a laugh.

"Oh yes, we should be getting home," Lucius said, starting towards some lights near the edge of town. The volunteer Lampent that spent their nights nursing the lights around the city were just awakening, and the garbodor, swablu and minccino charge of cleaning the streets were getting to work.

"AHHHHHHHH."

"EVE!" Lucius and Typhon yell together. All of a sudden, after a flash of bright light, Eve evolved into an Umbreon.

Eve transformed back after about 30 seconds of stunned silance.

"What was that!?" Lucius yelled. "W-we didnt have any Evolution Stones, did we?

"An Evolver with a special gift..."Fern whispered."like Mother said..."

"What?" Typhon asks.

"Nothing," Fern said with a shy smile.

"What," Lucius started,"was that."

After asking his question a second time, Lucius started walking home."Never mind, too weird. I don't want to know."

************

Back at the guild hall...

"Its hatching!" The egg that Fras found was forming cracked along the surface."it's hatching, come here!"

The medical tent in Volcorona Guild Hall was overflowing. With recent trouble in the forests and more and more powerful Mystery Dungeons cropping up everywhere, those who weren't out on missions or training were in the tent, healing, being healed, or visiting a friend or teammate.

Half the guild gathered around Fras, including his mother, Zoe, a zoroark. "The egg is hatching! Asp, Umber, come here!" The two Giuld egg delivery pokemon came. "Chancy, you too!" An umbreon, espeon, and chancy huddled around the egg, Asp, the espeon, pulled small chunks out of the egg with Physic,and Umber, the umbreon, widened the cracks to help whatever was inside. The once green-specaled egg, now riddled with cracks,slowly came apart. Out of the egg, covered with mucus, crawled an axew. Fras looked on in amazement. He had never seen a hatching up close before. "Hello, Fang, my son," he whispered as Asp, Umber, Chancy and his mother crowding around him, congradulating him and cleaning up the shell.
