A warp in time and space.
The continuing journeys of Brettles, Brettles and Brettles ... and now Brettles, through time.
A young lady with large baby blue eyes, and green hair with tips looked at the group. "Hello new friends. I have come with a request." Celeste fixed her eyes on Brettles. "You! Oh I know you! You have caused echoes up and down the timestream. I need you to come with me and make some more!"
"What are you talking about?" Brettles asked taking a step forward. He stepped out of himself. He felt himself leave himself behind and looked back to see himself frozen in place, along with Laura, Jacob and Clea.
"What is going on?" Brettles asked. Everyone and everything was frozen in place.
"Yes what are you doing, Celeste?" asked Tio, who along with Tia was not frozen.
"This is rather unorthodox, Celeste." said Tia.
"I have need of one who is attuned to the timeways." said Celeste. "This one may not know it, but he is adept at stepping between the moments."
"I have no idea what you are talking about, Celeste." Brettles said. "What do you need?"
"THIS IS ABOUT KYA, DONNY AND RAY! ISN'T IT CELESTE?" boomed Ox who had returned when everything froze.
"I can save them. I can stop what they did. But I need an anchor to that time. That is where this one comes in. With his help I can find the moments where purification can alter the course of Sinnoh. Imagine a world where Kya, Donny and Ray were not controlled by the shadow cult. Imagine the countless lives we could save."
"THIS ONE IS CLAIMED CELESTE. HE IS NEEDED HERE!" Ox stated firmly.
"You may keep him. I only need this moment out of time. It is this one's choice. So Brettles. Are you willing to give me one moment of your time to save thousands and free three powerful friends from bondage to the shadow."
"If a moment is all you need. Then you may have a moment." Brettles said. "Where are we going?"
"The question is not where, but when. I will need help to draw a hole in space-time. He must be sent. Will you lend me your power? For Kya, Donny and Ray?"
The twins, Tia and Tio nodded. They and Celeste turned to Ox, who frowned but nodded.
Ox held up his hand and shot out a greenish energy into Celeste. Tia and Tio did the same and shot out beams of red and blue.
Power shot around Brettles surrounding him and Celeste in a cocoon of intense power. Celeste melted away and reformed into the tiny form of Celebi. Through the cocoon of power, Brettles saw Latios, Latias and Deoxys shooting power into them.
There was ripping sound and Brettles found himself being pulled through a tear in reality by a powerful robotic hand. He found himself in a strangely comfortable pocket-space in the middle of nowhere. Three strangely familiar men looked at him. A mightyena jumped on him and licked him.
"Night Fang? What happened to your light typing? What is happening?"
A young man possibly not out his teens, with an impressive robotic arm spoke first. "I guess this means you two have to stop calling me, 'new guy'."
An older man dressed in a scruffy brown coat looked at him. "Welcome to the team, young-un. You here for something special?"
An ancient man with long flowing white hair and beard held out a hand to help Brettles to his feet. He was surprisingly strong and spry for such an ancient figure. "Welcome to the time-stream Brettles. Let me introduce myself. I am Brettles, this", he pointed at the old man, "is Brettles and the young man with the robot arm is Brettles. It will take some time to make sense and I sense you are here for a purpose."
With a popping sound Celeste appeared in the pocket-space. "Welcome back, Celeste", Young Brettles said. "It has been too long since you have been here. You are as beautiful as always." Old Brettles and Ancient Brettles shook their heads in embarrassment as young Brettles tried once more to flirt with this legendary Avatar.
"Always nice to see you too, young Brettles!" Celeste said. "Perhaps some of your manners could rub off on your older selves." Old Brettles and Ancient Brettles both laughed out loud at the suggestion.
"We are too old for those sort of manners, Celeste." Old Brettles joked.
Brettles was confused by everything going. "Everybody stop. What is going on? Where are we? What are we doing?"
Ancient Brettles rested his hand on Brettles shoulder. "We are nowhere, we are everywhere we are needed. Each of us is a moment out of time. You are here because your timeline needs to be tweaked. According to my records you are from timeline XTJ-27a. Now that we know where you are from we can cross-reference major events with the prime timeline see what you may be here to fix."
Young Brettles stood by a machine and inserted his robotic arm into a slot. "I am getting the timeline data now and ... No that can't be, Kya..."
Old Brettles and Ancient Brettles shook their heads in pity. "That happened after your moment young Brettles. Kya, Kyogre, Groudon and Rayquazza infected and controlled by the shadow clan. We thought there was no way to change that." Old Brettles said sadly. He looked at Celeste. "Is there hope."
Celeste smiled. "There is always hope. This version of you may help me find the moment to make the difference. If he is willing to help."
Young Brettles, Old Brettles and Ancient Brettles turned to look at Brettles. "What can I do?" Brettles asked.
Young Brettles pulled a strange orb out of his machine. "Hold this! Concentrate on your past. The orb will show the places where we are needed. The with the lovely Celeste's help we will see how to prevent this atrocity and save Kya from this corruption."
"We will save Groudon and Rayquazza too!" said old Brettles. "Young Brettles did not have a good experience with Groudon, but Groudon too is worth saving. So what are you waiting for? Take the orb."
Brettles took the orb and instantly a portal opened. Brettles looked through and saw a battle on mountainside. A giant Dusknoir was attacking a group of trainers on a hilltop. They were struggling and putting all their strength into the battle.
"Not yet!" Celeste said, looking on the scene. "I can sense something coming. But not yet. Let us watch this time.
Soon we shall intervene."
