Pokémon Red (Book 2)

The Bridge Between Realities (III)

Looker's POV

"Looker! What a pleasant surprise!" Oak walked towards me, smiling. He then welcomed me inside and made me sit on a couch. His lab was as clean as always. "What brings you here?"

"Um, I was asked to-" I said, stopping myself, Oak would never call me Looker. He was one of my closest and he would only call me by my real name. "Who are you? Where is Samuel?"

Suddenly, a voice came from behind. "Sabrina, how many times have I asked you not to do that?" I looked around, Oak was now standing behind me in the same lab coat, and a red t-shirt.

"Oh, Han, how are you?" He said. I was confused, then I looked around only to find Sabrina, the Fuschia gym leader.

"You know Sabrina, she is the Saffron City gym leader." Said Oak. Okay correction, I thought she was Fuschia gym leader.

"She can transform?" I asked.

"No!" Said Sabrina. "I can't. I can just make an aura around me, which would make an illusion that I look like something else, or someone."

Interesting, after knowing that parallel universes exist as well as time travel, I was ready to beleive anything.

"Oak, I was asked to come here by someone." I said. "The man is against Team Rocket, Giovanni works under him, but the man says he wants to end Giovanni. He attempted to kill Charles and he wears a mask, so gis identity is unknown."

Oak looked at me, confused. "That's a lot to take in. And why did the man asked you to come here?"

"He says you can somehow help me, to go back in time and get more information on Giovanni secretly." I said. "I know this sounds stupid-"

"It's not." Said Oak, staring at Sabrina. "Yes, the man is right. I beleive that's the only way to successfully catch Giovanni."

"But, Professor." Said Sabrina. "Wouldn't it change the flow of time, like Red did."

"No, Red made a huge change, but if Looker disguises himself and stay hidden, it just might work." Said Oak.

Oak was ready to do it. He advised me some of the basic rules I had to follow otherwise I'll end up messing up the time and cause something called the paradox.

"Han, think of the time you want to go to, think about the date when the Goldenrod City incident happened. Which was April the 19th. "

I thought about it, I pictured Goldenrod City in my mind and sunken my mind into the thought. I pictured myself standing near the city, but something diverted my attention and I started thinking about Azalea Town.

Oak handed me the GS Ball.

A blinding light was seen and suddenly I found myself in Azalea Town. I could hear Pidgeys chirping in a distance, and hoppips floating.

The wind was harsh and it's sound rubbed my ears, I pandiculated while looking at the evening sky, partially filled with stars.

"I need a disguise." I walked through the streets, trying my best to hide my face and searched for a shop where I could buy some clothes.

I realised I would not be able to purchase through my credit card, I checked my wallet to see what I had.

After entering the clothes shop, I didn't have enough money to buy everything, so I did the most obvious thing, I purchased a black hoodie.

I wore the hoodie and got rid of my long brown coat, just so you know I didn't throw it, I kept it in a room in the Pokecenter.

I had a funny feeling in my stomach, while I walked through the Ilex forest. The forest was damp, as if it had rained just yesterday, water began to fill inside my shoes.
