Welcome to Gaia! ::

As each trainer appears on the beach of the opposite side lake, they come face to face with very familiar people dressed in gold uniforms with a giant red T outlined in black across the chest. They people are familiar because they look exactly like the Aqua members, as they are them.

Physically, emotionally, atomically, and bodily. Perfect replicas. Except they weren't replicas. But one thing was for certain, they were older by roughly 5 years. Ginji was the first to notice and blurted out "Explain. Now." as he returned Blastoise with wide eyes, ready to fight.

"We didn't come here to fight. We got what we wanted, now leave us be." the future Ginji said as he smirked and brushed his blonde hair.

"Then prepare yourself!" the present Ginji retaliated as he drew a Pokeball. "Guys, I have a bad feeling about this, they're us, and T doesn't stand for Aqua. Fight an entire 6 Pokemon team. They're stronger, wiser, bigger than us, and their Pokemon are stronger. I don't expect us to win. But we can go down with a fight. I want answers."

"So you still wish to fight? So like me. Very well. I will accommodate." Future Ginji smirked again. "Battle Hymn!" he yelled, churning up the rocks beneath him with a fierce Aura.

Adam swooped down onto the island as the others had pulled up. He was about to make some witty remark when the future them appeared. “…” The two stared at each other.
“So… got any stock tips for me?” The present Adam asked. The Future Adam just smirked, Throwing out a pokeball.

~Felix
”Ewww!” Felix cried as he was approached by a much older looking version of himself, the thought of aging already sickening to him the way it is.

”Eww yourself.” The roughly 4 inch taller and much broader Felix approached his younger self, speaking in a much more masculine tone as he gave the young teenager a rough nudge to the chest, nearly knocking the frail boy over.

Felix could only growl in response. He did not like being picked on at all, especially when it regarded his petite size. ”Who the hell do you think you are?!” He retorted, quickly sending out Dino as he expected an intense battle in the near future…

”You? The older Felix answered coldly,
”And wow, your Pokemon even match your stature!” He continued to comment, chuckling lightly to himself as he matched Dino’s position on the field with a fully evolved Sceptile which was wearing a large golden mask covering half of it’s face.

”I’M NOT SMALL! I’M JUST FUN-SIZED!” Felix screamed in response, which pretty much ended all conversation right there for both ends as the battle started. Well what there was of a battle to have, Dino already quivering in fear under the shadow of it’s fully
evolved form.

The fight began with a shivering battle cry from the larger grass type Pokemon which turned into an ear piercing Screech attack nearly knocking over the small Treeko with the sound alone. The opponent obviously toying with him. Even through the fear, Dino refused to fight nothing less than his best, countering with his signature Aerial Ace attack, barely even getting a blink out of the much larger Sceptile.

”That all you got?” The Pokemon laughed as it swiped it’s sharp talons at Dino with a Slash attack that luckily didn’t make contact, although it didn’t even seem like he was trying to.
Meanwhile, Felix was just left speechless, recently learning today that Pokemon were able to talk via special methods, which he had apparently considered in the not-so-distant future. Dino meanwhile was still locked in the heat of battle to even notice the commentary as he went in for another Aerial Ace, even better hitting the same spot twice, directly on the Sceptile’s right shoulder. The Treeko obviously not taking this battle lightly as he actually made the larger version of himself flinch.

”My turn~” The second Dino smirked, disappearing with a flash or at least that’s how it’s amazing speed made it appear. Coming into view seconds later with an unavoidable Night Slash attack, scraping right across the whole gecko Pokemon’s body as he fell into the sandy ground unconscious.

Without a word the two trainers followed by returning their Pokemon respectively, each preparing for round two. The two Felix’s sending out their normal second Pokemon in their line-up, Mizu… Except the older one’s was just a lot bigger, Empoleon big to be exact.

Round two started out just as sadly as round one, the older Felix and co. no longer playing around as the steel penguin raced in with a Metal Claw attack, the poor defenseless Piplup barely catching the edge of the attack and still taking severe damage. And just as with the last round, an attempt had to be made. Mizu countering with Bubblebeam. Barely doing any damage, but at least hoping to inflict some kind of status condition on the merciless opponent… Which didn’t happen, with one more ripping Metal Claw, Mizu was down. Both sides once again exchanging in their Pokemon.

Next round was Surskit vs. Masquerain (Excuse my spelling, it’s 2:10 am and I don’t have the energy to open up Serebii~), Gaku on Gaku, the older one once again taking the advantage as he immediately raised his own speed with an Agilility attack, following suit with every round before and at least giving the little Surskit a chance to counter. Planning on working the same way as Mizu, just this time even less effective as he tried to dim the speed boost with Bubble, ultimately failing and ending up in the line of a Wing Attack. Leaving him unable to battle and Felix down to his last usable Pokemon.

The seemingly Final round started with Felix (Younger) sending out his most recently caught, Luka, who was immediately met on the field by a gigantic brilliantly pink Gyrados. This was pretty much hopeless…
The round began as the Gyrados started to coil and twist in the air in a peculiar fashion, performing a Dragon Dance attack. Luka could only respond by flopping wildly on the ground…Wait… o.o… The flopping suddenly got drastically higher and higher, and in no time a rhythm was brought together and Luka was airborne, and using the move Bounce! (Swear to nonexistent gods that that move is in a Magikarp’s Platinum Movepool) The Magikarp staying in the air long enough to avoid the oncoming Thrash attack before landing hard on the head of the completely confused looking Gyrados, and even more luckily Paralyzing it in the process.

A slight glimmer of hope appeared in Felix’s eyes as he watched his Magikarp ready another Bounce attack, the opposing Gyrados barely able to keep it’s body straight as it suffered severely from the paralysis, it’s recently used Trash attack also taking it’s toll as it started to appear disoriented, flailing around wildly in it’s confusion. And not one time even hitting Luka!

”Holy s**t…” Felix muttered as the Magikarp crashed down on its mighty opponent one more time before the behemoth crashed to the ground. Luka flopping safely and unharmed in the sand next to Felix’s feet. The older Felix looking just as astounded as he was.
”Like hell you’re making a fool out of me like that again…” The older Felix grumbled as he sent out one last, unrecognized Pokemon, a fully evolved bright yellow Luxray, who didn’t waste a moment once it was out on the field finishing off Luka with a devastating Discharge attack, nearly frying the poor fish as Felix had no other choice but to return her ending the battle…

Arekku gaped at his future self, his hair was a long, light brown which came out from under his familiar teal hat. His clothes were about the same but of course there was the little detail of the red T on the chest. "Haha! looket me!" The F-Arekku spoke, his voice was much deeper but very clear unlike Arekku's current voice. Arekku hopped off of Torque and the Sharpedo who in turn jumped in front of him got ready to battle. F-Arekku pulled out a pokeball and tossed it releaving a Exeggutor. Arekku gulped and bit the inside of his cheek as the battle started with Torque zooming at the opponent into a harsh Ice Fang attack. Luckily for Exeggutor, the attack was already inaccurate enough, so it was easily dodged. The foe spun around after dodging and shot a massive amount of leafs in a Leaf Storm attack, hurting Torque emensely.

Torque barely came back from the attack, he glance at the opponent and again shot himself at the Exeggutor again with an Ice Fang attack. It connected, taking a good chunk of health from the tree-like pokemon. The three heads all three glared at Torque, and again shot a large amount of leafs at him, but not as many as last time, showing that it was a Razor Leaf attack. Torque was hit by the attack and shot into the ground KOed.

Arekku quickly returned Torque, "You did awesome buddy..." He pulled out anaother ball and tossed it, Kari popped out of her pokeball. the torchic looked a little confused at F-Arekku and started running toward him before Arekku called, "Kari! That's not me!" She spun around to look at Arekku, that's when F-Arekku spoke again. "Are you sure? You sound sure, but I know you're not, I remember the feeling." He chuckled again and nodded to Exeggutor who seemed to be looking rather confused. The opponent pulled his three heads back, putting one leg up in front of him to keep himself balanced. He suddenly tossed his head forward shooting a small little egg at Kari. Kari looked at it curiously for a few seconds while it was flying at her. She suddenly recognized the attack and tried to dodge, but didn't manage. It exploded and Kari was sent flying into Arekku, The force knocked him back. Kari slowly got up and ran at the opponent and with all the strength she could muster opened her small beak and a giant horizontal flame, Flamethrower, shot Exeggutor backward fainting it automaticly.

F-Arekku smirked and tossed another pokeball, after returning Exeggutor of course. The pokeball burst open revealing a fully evolved Blaziken. Kari looked dwarfed by the giant form of herself. The opponent shot forward, Blaze Kicking with such a force that the Egg Bomb that sent her flying last time looked like a children's trick. She almost went into the water. When Kari didn't respond Arekku knew she was out. He held the pokeball up toward her.

After Kari was returned, Arekku tossed another pokeball, showing Wiley the Wailmer. Blaziken was first to move again and pulled back a fist that began chargin with electrical energy. Blaziken ran at full speed again, punching Wiley and knocking it out in that one single blow.

Arekku stared wide eyed that he was already down three pokemon. He returned Wiley and tossed out Dona's pokemon. The Mismagius looked upon Blaziken as if it were just another enemy. The opponent again readied an electrical fist behind himself and began running but a swift light pink Sucker Punch extended from Dona and shot through Blaziken, hurting it very little. Blaziken continued it's attack and shocked Dona with a large amount of damage.

Arekku sighed very lightly, Blaziken was already in a very close proximity so all it had to do was spin around for enough force to knock out Dona with a Flamethrower.

Arekku gulped again and returned Dona. Arekku wasn't going to be able to win this none whatsoever, but he wasn't giving up. He pulled up Stormy's pokeball but his gut told him to wait for Stormy. So he switched up the pokeballs in his hand and tossed Sabo's pokeball instead. The Ekans popped out of his pokeball. Blaziken ran at Sabo and tried to kick with Blaze Kick and missed completely because Sabo ducked just barely. Sabo quickly burrowed it's way underground and F-Arekku smirked.

Arekku looked a little worriedly at Blaziken which was still clam, as a matter of bact it straightened out of it's crouched fighing position and stood up. It bent it's legs very slightly and jumped what had to have been at least fifteen or twenty feet and came down shaking the earth beneath them in an Earthquake attack. Sabo was forced to break through the groundand sent flying into the air, finally coming down in the center of the battle field fainted.

He watched, amazed that that was probably the worst thing that could have happened. He shakily returned Sabo and pulled up Stormy's pokeball tossing it. F-Arekku didn't exactly know what to make of it at first, "Ahh.. I don't remember having tha-... Oh yeah!... Just so you know, Stormy gets taken... Don't worry though, it won't happen for a while." F-Arekku smiles at the tid-bit of information he's given that hopefully the F-Ginji didn't hear him say. "Let's get this finished, eh?" Arekku slowly nods and Blaziken readies i's Thunderpunch yet again. The attack connects but it isn't the best in effectivness. Stormy takes in a big breath breathes a large green flame, Dragonbreath. Blaziken holds it's arms out in a defensive way, and is engulfed by the attack.

F-Arekku allowed a flash of fear to be seen on his face before he is able to hide it again. As the flame dissapates it shows a Blaziken huffing, apparantly a critical hit, and... sparks? It was paralyzed! Arekku smiled and called out, "Good job Stormy!" Stormy accepted the praise and lowered himself to the ground with an abrupt drop at the end wich caused his own Earthquake, damaging Blaziken pretty badly. The paralisis took effect and stopped Blaziken from attacking.

Arekku shot a finger at the opponent, "Again Stormy!" but something happened, F-Arekku pulled out a little canister and Blaziken backed up toward him, the fine little mist came out as soon as F-Arekku pressed the button on the top. Blaziken glowed for just a second and stood up straight, Arekku realized it was a Full Restore and staired wide eyed again. Stormy again hit the ground causing an Earthquake. Blaziken didn't seem to have as much trouble as last time regaining it's composure.

Arekku looked at Blaziken amazed that Kari would be that good one day. Blaziken puched with enough force to make a crater with Stormy's form. blaziken had jumped and slammed a Thunderpunch down on her, doing a Critical hit and fainting her easily.

Arekku returned her and dropped to his knees stairing at the opponents. Blaziken dissappeared in a flash of red light, "And that wasn't even near strong for me... Erm,... You in the future!" F-Arekku tried to make it sound like an insult and a complement at the same time. Arekku glanced to see how the others did/are doing.

Adam jogged up to Ginji and the Guardian, kneeling down next them. He felt like he wanted to help the Guardian, but he didn't know it would upset the Darkrai to pull out a potion and start spraying. "By smiles and sunshine?" Adam smirked.

Arekku warily stood up and walked passed F-Arekku, who soon after left to join F-Ginji (wherever he was), and looked at Human Darkrai. He was confused but he didn't let his voice show it one little bit.

Arekku nervously bit in the inside of his cheek again and began thinking, They're that strong... And, well... We were decimated!... I'm not going to say we don't have a chance, but they're so much more advanced than us... They know all of our weaknesses and some... He shook his head violently trying to get rid of the heavy thoughts, "But I don't undertsnad... everyone else's future self was really evil towards us, but mine was rather nice, even gave me a few details...." He clutched Stormy's pokeball with a very worried expression.
