Jello the Solosis
???
Jello found himself somewhere completely different than the busy streets of Oak Town. It was so dark that the purple Solosis could barely see his surroundings and there was not a soul around. Except for, well, himself, and whoever teleported him there.
Where am I? What is this place? he thought, and frantically turned around. His thoughts were interrupted by a voice, an oddly familiar one.
"Sorry about this. But I had to do this."
"Wh-who's there? Who are you?" he asked, fear running through his jelly-like body. The other being used a dimmed Flash attack to light up the room so that Jello could see for himself who she was. Jello found mixed feelings in the reply to his question: before him stood a Ralts, exactly like the one who had taken Alice away. "Y-You... What are you-"
"Calm down. I'll explain everything." she said, "But not right now. We must hurry. Come. And be quiet."
Jello said no words. He was smart enough to realise that he had to keep quiet for his Trainer was involved, and any sound would put her in great danger. For Alice's sake, he swallowed his pride and followed Ralts through a dark hallway. The small Pokémon had stopped using Flash by that moment, so he would have to me extra-careful around the area. "This way." Ralts said telepathically to Jello and both went inside a shaft. They continued onwards until the former stopped, right next to an opening in the metallic tube. It was hard for Jello to see, but he could recognise Alice was in that room! And near her stood a person covered in rags who resembled a wraith, and was clearly up to no good...
Alice Crenshaw
???
Minutes before Jello's arrival, the battle between the shady guy's Duskull and Chuck, Alice's Grimer, was getting more and more intense. But at some point, Chuck started to disobey Alice. He would do nothing, or missing the attack on purpose, and even taking a nap in the middle of battle! A sinister chuckle was coming from behind the robes. The guy behind them knew it was over. He had won the battle.
"Chuck, why are you doing this?!" she said, "Attack him!"
With an angry look on his face, Chuck turned towards his Trainer, and huffed. Then he crawled over to the opponent trainer and stood by his side showing frustration towards the red-haired girl. "Ch-Chuck...why...?" she mumbled, and dropped on her knees. Unknown to both of them, Jello and Ralts were in a shaft nearby, watching the Grimer's act of betrayal.
"Fufufu... It seems you have lost... Your Grimer doesn't even like you anymore. It likes me better."
Alice gritted her teeth, and Duskull floated over to her and snatched Grimer's Pokéball from her belt, then handed it over to its trainer. She stood up to her feet, and tried to run away once more, but a Mean Look from Duskull stopped her right in her track and she tripped over. "Whoa, trying to run away again?" the guy said, "You can't...Fufufu..."
"I'm not giving up!" the girl shouted, some new feelings brewing up inside her.
"What are you gonna do? Battle?" the wraith-man said, "But you have no Pokémon left...You can't have a Pokémon Battle without Pokémon, right?"
Jello the Solosis
???
"Alright, time has come!" Ralts whispered telepathically to Jello, "And don't forget the plan!"
Jello nodded and burst through the opening, firing a Fighting-typed Hidden Power blast at the enemy. The foe was confused, but it got back up to his feet. "Oh, so you have a trump card, huh? Impressive. Now we'll battle. Grimer, go! Use Lick!" he commanded, and the Pokémon formerly known as Chuck stepped forward. "Duskull, you make sure the girl doesn't try to run away with Mean Look!"
Jello got a face full of fury as he saw his former teammate step up to battle him.
T-Traitor... he thought. "Jello, Barrier!" Alice commanded, and Jello happily obeyed, setting up a wall of Psychic power in front of him that the Grimer ended up licking instead. "Now, Psywave!" she said, and Jello fired a wave of energy at the sludge Pokémon. Having a type disadvantage and being worn out from the previous battle, the traitor Pokémon was struggling to stay fighting. But he had to do it. He had to beat his previous Trainer to show him how she was holding him back. That drove him to use a Mud Bomb, without the wraith-man's command, that dealt little damage but left Jello temporarily blinded.
"Grr... Jello... Use Hidden Power, and in all directions!" she commanded. Jello was having a heavy heart, since the attack had the change of hitting his trainer and best friend. "Do it!" she said, and, seeing this new determination in Alice's words, did the attack as told. The barrage of energy hit both Grimer and his new trainer, and knocked them both back. Alice threw herself on the floor, and barely dodged the attack. Grimer fainted, unable to keep battling, and the wraith-man was hurled against the wall and hit his head, and was knocked out as well. Three Pokéballs went rolling out of the man's robes. One of them hit the fainted Grimer and sealed him inside, one of the rolled near Alice's head and the other one near the shaft opening.
"W-well done Jello, you did it!" she said, slowly getting back on her feet. The purple orb was glomped by the girl, who looked very thankful about him having shown up in the nick of time. "Thanks a lot. Now let's get going." she said. However, she could not take a step near the exit. At first the girl was confused, but then remembered, that Duskull was still out there! It was staring at her, using Mean Look to keep her there. "Grr... We're gonna have to give it another go, Jello. You ready?" she said, and Jello replied with a nod. "Okay, use Psy-"
Then, out of nowhere, a Pokéball came flying towards Duskull and sealed him inside just like what happened to Grimer. Where that Pokéball used to be stood a Ralts, who looked somewhat stressed. It slowly made her way towards Alice, who was now even more confused about the sudden turn of events. "Wh-what's going on? A-Aren't you the one who took me here?" Ralts looked down in remorse, and just stared back at Alice.
"She is." Jello said telepathically to Alice, "And for some reason, she brought me here." Alice looked at the Ralts wide-eyed. "What?" she said, "You mean..."
"Yes." Jello replied, "If it hadn't been for her, I'd never have found you. She told me to grab that Pokéball over there."
It was dark, but Alice managed to see a small round object near her. She picked it up and held it in her arms. Out of the blue, Ralts jumped and hugged Alice's right leg. "What's going on?" she asked, still holding Jello in her arms, but before anyone could answer, the wraith-man was starting to regain consciousness and move. A blinding Flash came from Ralts' horn, and then the small Pokémon used Teleport to get the three of them out of there. When the wraith-man finally regained consciousness, all he could see was two orbs, one that contained his new acquisition, Grimer, and the other one that contained his trusty Duskull. Alice, Jello and Ralts, meanwhile, had appeared near the Pokémon Center in Oak Town, the one she had been staying at before she was abducted.
