CHAPTER 78 – ANOTHER DIMENSION (LAST PART)

In the previous chapter we see how our hero talks a little with the Ash of the original timeline and his friends, while enjoying a nice meal, the Ash Prime wonders why he can not see the data of two of his Pokémon in his Pokédex, so thinking about it a little, our hero tells the Ash Prime about the other regions and updates his Pokédex so that he can record data of the Believing that this would give him an advantage over the original Ash of the anime, they now find themselves looking for the girls.

...

With our Ash.

After this, we set off to the City while describing what the girls looked like to the trio so that when we separated they could ask people about them.

"By the way, now that I look, you're taller than our Ash, it seems that in the other dimension you grew much more than in this one, it doesn't look like you're 10 years old" - Brock commented along the way.

I assumed that this topic would come, it seems that I will have to pretend a little, I can not tell you the truth since it does not have much logic that I know.

"10 years, what do you mean? I'm 16 years old" – I said pretended confusion.

"16, didn't you say you had just started your journey in Kanto?!" – Dawn asked in amazement.

"I didn't lie, plus I started my adventure a few months ago, so I have less experience than your Ash" - I replied.

"Wow, then in your world, trainers start their adventures at the age of 16 and not 10, amazing" - said the Ash Prime.

"Different dimensions, different rules" - Brock said.

"But I must admit that you are more handsome than our Ash, it seems that his future is promising" – observed Dawn.

Yes, I am more handsome than the original Ash or rather I am the future of the present here, so it is not that I am more handsome, but that Ash himself will grow up and look like this once he is 16.

"Wow, at least I know what I'll look like in the future, I hope to be a Pokémon master by then, right Pikachu?" – said the Ash Prime.

"Pika pi" – nodded the Pikachu of the Ash Prime.

"By the way, I see that you also have a Pikachu, did you choose him as an initial like me or did you carch him and it is pure chance that he does not want to enter his Pokéball?" – asked the Ash Prime.

"Wow, it seems like all Ash get Pikachu the same way, I actually got Pikachu from Professor Oak because he had already taken Kanto's initials, apparently Gary was one of them, then my childhood friend Leaf and the third... To tell you the truth I have no idea about the third one" – I explained.

"Then we can assume that all the Ash are destined to have Pikachu as his partner" - Brock said in surprise.

"Did you hear that, Pikachu? No matter what dimension we are in, we are meant to be best friends" - said the Ash Prime.

"Pika pi" – nodded the Pikachu of the Ash Prime.

"Pika" – said mine.

"I agree Pikachu, it seems that fate always brings us together no matter in what dimension, but I'm glad he's my partner" – I nodded as I stroked his head.

After this, we continued walking until we finally reached the City.

"Since you have a map, we will do the following, we will search for 3 hours, if we don't find anything and even if we find any clues, we will meet at the Pokémon Center by then, are you okay with that?" – explained Brock.

"Perfect" – the three of us said.

Latias also nodded just like the two Pikachu and Dawn's Pipup.

"Well, good luck to all," Brock said as he left.

The rest of us nodded and went our separate ways.

...

3 hours later.

For my part I must say that it was disappointing, I did not find a single clue about the whereabouts of the girls, no matter who I asked, nobody had seen them and soon the 3 hours passed so I had to return to the Pokémon Center.

The only thing I hope is that the others were lucky and not like me.

But my hopes were dashed when they told me they didn't get any clues either, which made me more depressed.

"Don't get depressed, we can keep looking, we still have time" - Dawn said, trying to cheer me up.

"It's quite weird, you fell into the same cave and they didn't, maybe it's possible that your companions regretted it and didn't enter the cave when they saw you disappear?" – asked Brock.

"It's possible, I don't deny it, but I need to keep looking to be 100% sure of that, imagine that someone stay here, I wouldn't know how to come back here to help her" - I explained.

"Don't worry, we'll find them... now that I can think of, why don't we go see Volkner?" – said the Ash Prime.

"Ash it's not time for a battle" - Dawn said.

"No, it's not for that, it's that maybe since he is the gym leader he has many acquaintances who can help us" - Ash suggested.

"Wow Ash, that's a very good idea" - Brock said in surprise.

The truth is that it was a good idea, a gym leader can have a lot of influence in the City and maybe meet people who can help us, in addition, we did not lose anything by trying.

So, hopeful, we headed to the Pokémon gym hoping to get some clue about the girls.

...

Once in the Pokémon gym I realized that it was the same as those of my world, only that, with a slight difference, there was no reception or anything, the door led directly to the battlefield.

"Volkner, are you here? We need some help" - said Ash Prime.

Luckily, Volkner was sitting there in the stands as he seemed to think of something, next to him was Flint and another person he couldn't see.

"It's you Ash, I thought you were going to take the rest of the day off to train" - Volkner said as he approached.

"Yes... but we have a problem and we were wondering if you could help us solve it" - said Ash Prime.

"The truth is that I would like to help you but we also have our own problems" - Volkner said, pointing to the stands.

Lying there was a girl, a girl I knew very well, it was my girlfriend Koharu.

"Koharu!" – I said nervously.

I quickly approached her and observed her condition.

She was unconscious, but she didn't seem to have any injuries.

"Are you her friend?" - asked Flint.

"Yes, what happened to her, why is she unconscious?" – I asked anxiously.

"It's nothing you need to worry about, we already called the doctor and checked her condition, she's perfectly healthy, she's just fainting" - Flint explained.

"What happened to her?" – I asked again.

"I would like to know why, but the truth is that we found it lying on the battlefield 3 hours ago" - Flint replied.

This is more and more strange, How is it possible for Koharu to appear here? It's too far from the cave and, what's more, it doesn't even make any kind of sense.

"Hey... wait a minute, I'm hallucinating, but I'm seeing two Ash?" – asked Flint looking at both in a daze.

"Is it true, what's going on here?" - asked Volkner.

"It's a long story..." – Brock said.

And then he tolds the story.

"It's hard to believe but since you're just like him but taller and you also have a Pikachu, I'll have to believe it" - Volkner said.

"But it is very rare, how is it possible? the journey between dimensions should only be possible for Dialga, the lord of time and Palkia the lord of space" - Flint said.

"Do you imply that our presence here has anything to do with Dialga and Palkia?" – I asked confused.

I obviously knew about both Legendary Pokémon, but I don't think they had anything to do with all of this, I mean we didn't even see them.

"From your question I can deduce that you did not see them, but that does not mean that they are not involved" - Flint said.

"He's right, even the cave could have been created by them" - Volkner added.

"But if that's true, many trainers could have gone through the same situation" - Dawn said.

"But you have explained to me that it was stormy and lightning struck the cave, maybe the cave portal needs a lot of energy to activate and the lightning met the requirements for that" - Volkner suggested.

"As for whether there are more trainers ... it may be that some people had this bad luck, now if they returned to their dimension or stayed that we no longer know, it is a mystery" - said Flint.

"Do you realize that if that's true it means we've found a way to travel to other dimensions?" - asked Brock.

"Yes... and that worries me, from now on we will monitor that area and we will try that nobody approaches, and remember to keep this a secret, who knows what will happen if someone who should not find out what that cave is " – Flint nodded.

We wanted to keep talking, but just then, Koharu opened his eyes.

"Koharu, are you okay?" – I asked immediately.

"Ash... It's you... thank goodness" – Koharu said with a smile.

Then I helped her get up.

"Don't force yourself Koharu, if you feel bad, lie down, rest for a while" – I said.

"Thanks for your concern but I'm fine, in fact it felt like I had taken a nap" - Koharu said.

Then he looked around and seeing me and the other Ash along with a bunch of people she didn't know, she was surprised.

"What's wrong Ash, why are there two you, but smaller and who are these people?" – asked Koharu confused.

The truth is that, if I were in his situation, I would have exactly the same doubt, after all not every day you see a person who is identical to your boyfriend.

"It's a long story, but I'll explain it to you..." – I said as I began to tell her what had happened.

A tedious explanation later.

She had already told Koharu about everything that happened in these last hours and the truth is that she was surprised, but not as much as she thought.

"I see" – she nodded.

"Aren't you impressed by all this?" – I asked curiously.

"It impresses me, but not as much as I should, am I getting used to this kind of thing?" - she asked.

The truth is that he was right, all kinds of things always happened to us, it is as if we had a magnet to attract all kinds of situations, although I must admit that some are exciting.

"Hahaha, now that you say it you are right, by the way, do you have any clues from Nancy and Verity? We've been looking for them for hours too" - I said.

"Didn't you see it?" - asked Koharu.

"See the what?" – I asked confused.

"Ah, I understand, it's probably because you entered the first, Nancy and Verity were static to see how you disappeared inside the cave, I also entered, but to try to save you, although from what I see I did not get it" – explained Koharu.

"Thank you very much Koharu, but then that means..." – I said.

"They didn't enter in the cave so they are still in our world" - Koharu finished.

To be honest, this is the best situation I expected to find, at least Nancy and Verity are not here and now that we find Koharu, we can finally go back, now the question is how.

Of course, I asked the others if they had any ideas because when Ash Prime and his companions entered they did not travel anywhere since the cave did not have any energy.

We continued to think for a while until suddenly, thunder resounded outside the gym.

"That's it, the storm, come on, let's not waste any more time!" – said Volkner.

We all nodded and quickly headed to the cave.

The weather was bad enough, it rained a lot and thunder resounded everywhere, but no lightning and even when we arrived at the cave there was no trace of any lightning.

"What should we do now?" - asked Koharu in a hurry.

Volkner looked at the cave for a moment and then at the sky.

"The only thing I can think of is to launch several electrical attacks at once into the sky and see if somehow lightning strikes," he said.

"In other words, do you want a miracle?" - asked Flint.

"If you have any ideas I'd like to hear" - Volkner replied.

But no one nodded and not that there was time so we decided to try their plan.

"Then let's make the miracle come true, Pikachu use Thunderbolt towards the sky!" – said Ash Prime.

"Pikachu you also use Thunderbolt towards the sky!" – I said.

"Alright Luxray, use Thunderbolt at full power to the sky!" – and that was Volkner.

The three powerful electric attacks came together through the sky with their huge power.

At first nothing happened, but after a few seconds, as if the sky responded with fury, a huge lightning bolt struck the cave.

"Perfect, let's go Ash!" - said Koharu.

"Goodbye the 4, I hope we meet again!" – said Ash Prime.

The rest said something similar.

"We will and remember my advice, go to Alto Mare!" – I said.

"I will!" – nodded Ash Prime.

After that, I, Koharu, Latias and Pikachu quickly jumped into the cave and everything went black again.
