As the girl dragged Kirouac and Biech through the city, she started talking.

"Oh, this is awesome!" she said. "I knew that interdimensional travel was possible! You need to meet my brother! I'm Meray, by the way!"

"Meray?" Kirouac repeated. "Where are we going?"

"That building up there!" Meray said, jerking her head towards a tall building that had some kind of gold symbol jutting from the sides. Half a minute later, she finally slowed down. Sliepnir and HELsa caught up a few seconds later, panting with effort. Meray pushed the door open, and cool air rushed out, ruffling Kirouac's feathers slightly. Meray entered, quickly followed by Kirouac and his friends. Inside was a man and a small creature floating next to him. The man was groaning, while the creature was saying "So were you?"

"Barza, you'll never guess what I found!" Meray said. Barza turned to look at her, but when he saw the group behind her, he froze. The creature floating next to him looked equally surprised. Barza turned to the creature.

"Hoopa, what did you do?" Barza asked, his voice stern yet slightly playful. The creature, Hoopa, raised its hands in shock.

"Hoopa didn't do this!" it said. "Hoopa is as surprised as you!"

"That's a first," Meray commented. "Anyways, this is Kirouac, a king from a parallel universe." Barza raised his eyebrow.

"Really, now?" he asked. He looked at Meray. "Is this another prank, or it this for real this?"

"Oh, it's for real," Sliepnir said, folding his bottom two arms over his chest. Hoopa and Barza gasped as they saw that, and Barza's skin whitened a little.

"This is for real," he said. He raised his hands into the air. "Awesome! What kind of world is it?" He started peppering them with questions, until Meray raised her hands and started calming him down.

"Hey, don't freak them out," she said. "You'll be able to ask them a bunch of questions later, alright? They need a place to stay, and some Pokèmon." Sliepnir raised his top right hand.

"Uh, I actually have one already," he said.

"Oh, nice!" Barza said. "What is it?"

"It kept saying 'Nidoking' over and over," Sliepnir said.

"Oh, nice," Meray said. "Nidoking's aren't very common around here. Where is it?" Sliepnir reached into his pocket and pulled out the Pokèball.

"It was in here," he said. Meray and Barza frowned.

"That's weird," Barza said. "You usually have to capture them first, but you found a Pokèball with the Nidoking inside? Strange."

"Is that?" Sliepnir asked. "Huh. Anyway, where do we get more of these?"

"The balls or the Pokèmon?" Meray asked.

"Both, I guess," Sliepnir said.

"Well, you can buy Pokèball's from practically any store," Meray said. "And you can find Pokèmon pretty much anywhere."

"Nice," HELsa said. "And what kind of currency do you use here?"

"We use Pokèdollars, but we're going to take you to get your starter Pokèmon first," Barca said.

Meray and Barca led the group through the city, though much slower than last time. Still, the building that they had been in was pretty close to the trainers center, but it was sltill enough time for Mercy to tell Sliepnir to not tell the professor they were going to meet about his Nidoking. As they entered, they met with a tall man. He had glasses and had shoulder length hair.

"Good to see you two again!" he said. He sounded nervous, but that was probably because of Sliepnir, Kerouac and HELsa. "What can I help you with today?" Meray nodded at the group behind her.

"These three need some Pokèmon," she said. "Preferable the starters." The man frowned, but nodded anyway.

"Who are they?" he asked.

"Professor, I'll explain everything later, alright?" Barca said. "But right now, we need to get them their starters." The professor nodded and turned around, walking towards a set of doors. The group followed him until they got into a room. In it was a pedestal with three Pokèballs in small indents. The professor gestured towards them.

"These Pokèballs contain the starter Pokèmon for this region," he said. "Chespin, Fennekin, and Froakie. Who wants to go first." Everyone was still for a few seconds, before they all seemed to agree that Kerouac should go first. He approached the pedestal and picked up one of the Pokèballs. He pressed the button, causing the ball to grow, and then pressed it again. The red beam of light shot out, and a small wolf-like thing appeared. It looked up at Kerouac in confusion and barked. A small jet of flame came out of its mouth as it did so, making Sliepnir step back in slight worry. Kerouac grinned.

"I like this one!" he said. "I choose this one. What is it called!"

"Thats is Fennekin, the fire type Pokèmon," the professor said. He turned to the other two as Kerouac pressed the button again, making Fennekin turn back into the red light and returned to the ball. "Who wants to go next?" HELsa stepped forward and selected a ball, quickly activating it and releasing the Pokèmon inside. A small beaver looking thing popped out and exclaimed "Ches!"

"That is Chespin," the professor said. "It's the grass type Pokèmon." HELsa smiled.

"It's kind of cute," she said, extending her hand and ruffling it's head. But Chespin didn't seem to like that. In fact, it jerked back its head in what seemed like pain. HELsa pulled her hand back. She glanced at the other ball, then deciding to check it out, returned Chespin to its ball, and picked up the other. As the red light emerged from the ball, it formed a little frog like creature.

"Froakie!" it said, looking up at HELsa. HELsa's grin returned, larger than before.

"I'll take this one," she said. The professor nodded.

"That is Froakie, the water type Pokèmon," he said. As HELsa returned Froakie to its ball, Sliepnir picked up the final Pokèball with a grin .

"Well, then, looks like I get Chespin," he said. "Nice." Barca clapped his hands together once to get their attention.

"Good, now that you've made your selection, me and Meray will show you how to train them," he said. He turned around and exited the door as he called out "Follow me!"
