As Twilight entered the Atrium, she saw Amuro sitting and eating with a group of humans around his age. Their appearances and attire varied, but they all seemed friendly enough.

"Oh, you're awake!"

She looked at Amuro, who was motioning at a vacant chair. Twilight sighed, sat down, and promptly looked away.

"So, you're the girl Amuro was telling us about?" said a boy in an electric blue jumpsuit, wearing a metal backpack. "I'm Clemont, that's my sister Bonnie. I'm the Lumiose City Gym Leader."

"Nice to meet you." Twilight said.

"So, Twilight?" Athena asked. "Where are you from?"

"That's...complicated." Twilight replied. "And I'd rather keep it to myself, if that's alright."

Athena nodded, and went back to her bowl of pasta with a sigh.

"What brought you here?" said a boy with a red cap and a young face.

"I'm just traveling." Twilight said. "Nothing really important."

"Well, we're here to compete." Chase said. "The Pokemon World Tournament Master's Cup is in a couple of days, and we're training hard."

"Good luck?" Twilight said, unsure what they were referring to.

"Thanks." Chase said. "You know, there's something odd about you?"

"How so?" Twilight asked.

"Amuro told us you didn't know what a Pokemon Center was, and you don't have a single Pokemon with you." Chase said. "Furthermore, that Marcus guy seemed pretty interested in you. Any idea why that's the case?"

Drat, Twilight thought. She sighed and looked the Trainer from Unova in the eyes.

"I'll tell you why." she said. "However, can I ask that this stays between us and you won't jump to conclusions?"

"We'll try." Amuro said. "Shoot."

Twilight sighed and spoke.

"I'm not a human, I'm not from this world, and I'm also a Princess. There, cat's out of the bag."

There was silence. Nobody moved or spoke.

Until Jackson started to snort, then chuckle, then he flat-out lost it. He laughed hard for a few moments, until he smiled.

"Well, that's neat." he said, wiping a tear from his eye. "I thought it would be something unpleasant."

Twilight dropped her jaw and started to sputter.

"I...you..why are you laughing?" she stammered. "Is that so unbelievable?"

"Actually, no." Jackson said. "I've been to a parallel world before, met that world's inhabitants, and stopped an ancient threat, also from that world, that would've destroyed the entire Alola Region." Jackson said. "So, yeah. I believe you."

Twilight was speechless for quite a while.

"Well, alright then." she sighed. "I suppose it's time for the inevitable barrage of questions."

"Maybe later." Amuro said, just as shocked as Twilight. "Can we finish eating first?"

Kate leaned over to Twilight's ear and whispered.

"If we've learned one thing, don't keep Amuro from food."

"I heard that!" Amuro replied. "That's coming from the trainer who spend nearly an hour in the bathroom doing her hair!"

"I have to!" Kate said. "It's important to look nice!"

"Yeah, does looking nice come with taking an hour in the restroom?" came the retort. "Do you have any idea how annoying it is?"

Twilight couldn't hold it in. She started to laugh, drawing everyone's eyes to her.

"Sorry." she smiled. "You're acting just like two of my friends. One's all prim and proper, the other...not so much. It's just too funny…no offense."

"None taken." Amuro said flatly. "Let's just finish lunch and get moving. I think the other trainers here are starting to stare at us."

Kalos Airlines Seaplane
Flight 377 from Torran Region

First Class

"Remind me again why I agreed to this."

"Because it'll be a great experience, Augur."

"I thought I said I'd rather not be called that…"

The first to speak was a boy of seventeen. He had blonde hair with gray eyes, and he wore a worn leather jacket with jeans. The other occupant of the cabin was a girl with forest-green hair and blue eyes. Apart from them, the Cabin was playing host to eleven different Pokemon, all currently sleeping.

"But that's who you are." Nora said, shoving Ryan playfully. "The third Augur of the Torran Region, and Hero of the Holon Region."

"Don't go shouting it to the rooftops." Ryan groaned. "I barely have any private time as it is."

"That does come with being a celebrity." Nora said. "Once the fervor passes, you can have all the private time you want."

"I hope so…" Ryan said, moaning. Then, a welcome sight leaped into his lap. Ryan's Eevee settled down comfortably, his Eeveeite Mega Stone glistening around his neck.

"Hey, Evs." Ryan said. "Ready to have some fun?"

"Eev!" Eevee said, raising a paw in mock salute. Ryan scratched the Evolution Pokemon a few times, then reclined in his seat.

"Nora?"

"Yeah?" she asked, looking away from her Celebi.

"You think bringing them was a good idea?" he asked. "They've never been seen outside Torran…"

"Yet another reason I thought this would be a good idea." Nora said. "Besides, they're basically the same as their counterparts, except for appearance and typing."

"True." Ryan sighed, pulling out an Ultra Ball. Inside was a special Pokemon unlike any seen before. "Though, how the rest of the world will react is kind of concerning."

"We'll be fine." Nora said. "Besides, he trusts you and you trust him. Your team's ready to go, and we'll be in Kalos soon. There's nothing to worry about."

"I hope so, Nora." Ryan said, looking at the sea below. "I really hope so."'

Nora returned Celebi to her Poke Ball, and started browsing through the selection of in-flight movies.

"I'm going to get a snack." Ryan said. "You hungry?"

"Not really." Nora replied. "If they have any of those Moonlight Snack Bars, grab a few for me."

Ryan rolled his eyes at the mention of Nora's favorite snack. He headed to the dining cabin, Eevee following him at his side.

"Maybe…" Ryan thought as he grabbed a bag of snacks. "This won't be so bad after all."

Ryan made sure to grab a few Moonlight Snack Bars before returning to the First-Class cabin, just as the plane started to descend into the Kalos Region.

Author's Note

Yep, a fan game enters the series. Pokemon Insurgence is one of my favorites, featuring new Mega Evolutions, Delta Species Pokemon, and more. It's not canon, but I like it enough to feature the main character of my playthrough, Ryan, and his friend and rival Nora. His info has been added to the spreadsheet in the long description.

Next time-Ryan and Nora battle a bullying trainer, and Twilight, Amuro and co. head to Professor Sycamore's lab. Team Rocket also shows up with a new assignment...
