"Oh... Well..." Neil straightened his glasses, and rubbed the place where the Skitty had slapped him. Getting home is priority number 1, and this guy would help them do so at the cost of doing absolutely nothing! Not only that, but it would definitely not be a good idea to cross this guy. "Sure, sounds good to me."
"Why does everything have to loop back to YGO?" -Guy who ruined YGO
"Lead away," Lars quietly grumbled, wondering what the large thing would want them to do.
The Plum and Only
"Then it is settled."
Dialga brought one of it's giant feet down into the ground, and what appeared to be a portal appeared before him. In actual fact, it carried whomever went into it through time, but only a short amount and it had an exit elsewhere, so for all that mattered, it was a teleportation portal.
"You first."
It was certain not to let the new pokémon, the ones who were left unaffected by his mighty Roar of Time, out of it's sight.
Curse the ill fortune that led you to me.
Kei didn't move. she was still far too scared.
"Yup. That tasted purple."
"Okay, great, fine. Alley oop," Lars dryly said, walking up to the portal and jumping in.
The Plum and Only
Phil stopped before he went into the portal. He'd noticed the poor scared Pichu, and noticed they hadn't said anything. He tried to be as reassuring as possible as he spoke but try as he might his own fear managed to creep into his voice.
"Hey. Y-you OK?"

After all that, Ray was angry. He knew he could not stand agaisnt that god, nor go back to his old life. He was trapped there, on Dialga's whim. "Like they ever gave me a choice... That loli told me I could leave, but there was no way out of the roof...", he thought, biting his lips in anger.
The only option left for him was to obey. "Okay, I am entering. There is nothing else to be done here, and there is no way back. I hope you'll fill us in with information after we're done here". The torchic gave a deep breath, gathered some courage, and approached the portal meekly. Then, he jumped inside it, letting fate choose what would happen to him in the end.

"I... I don't know what's happening any more... I just want to go home..."
"Yup. That tasted purple."

"Alright, let's do it." Neil sighed. Hopefully, the portal will take him home. If not, the deity over there said he was going to send them home eventually. He straightened his glasses and walk forward to the portal.

Sean glanced at the little Pichu that was scared to death, he felt some pity for her, but he then decided to go straight to the portal, there wasn't anything that he could do to help now.
The Plum and Only
Phil picked up on just how young this Pichu ex-human might be.
"Hey, I want to get out of here too. I-I know it's scary, but if we go through there, maybe we'll get a step closer to home? Let's just try and look on the bright side of this then for now, at least we can do some cool stuff... I got wings, you can sh-shoot lightning out of you."
He placed the flat of one of his claws on the young girl's shoulder and gave the most convincing smile he could manage. "I promise we'll do whatever we can to get out of here, alright?"
Furthermore he tried to prove that these cool abilities might actually be well... cool for now, he was going to fly over to that portal. He buzzed his wings, and gracefully took off towards it. Hey, I'm actually doing it, I'm flying! Wait, how am I flying?
He quite gracelessly slammed face-first into the ground. Fortunately, since he was less than two feet in the air he wasn't hurt anywhere but his pride.
"I tire of waiting."
Phil picked himself up and walked into the portal, grumbling all the while.
The destination was what could be most closely approximated with a human town. It was bustling with Pokémon of all kinds and everyone seemed to be busy doing something. But it wasn't a happy atmosphere. As one walked through, they could almost feel that something unpleasant was in the air, which only grew frostier as Dialga appeared through the portal. Enough conversations simply dropped dead as the legendary dragon appeared that there was a noticeable drop in the noise level of the town and those who were still talking were doing so in whispered murmurs.
This is our center. For now, I shall leave you here. I will return shortly after we have learned more about you. and true to it's word, Dialga opened another portal and left the group.
The group would then find themselves greeted by what seemed to be a triple-headed bird.
◊ The Dodrio seemed to be anxious as it approached.
"He scares me." the left-hand head mentioned.
"Is he gone?" asked the one on the right
"Are you here to join us?" came the question from the center, the only one who seemed to be actually addressing the group.

Elsie the Skitty hesitated a bit, then jumped the portal. Her scarf fluttered in the process...
"Yup," Lars slowly said as he sighed at the Dodrio's question. "From what it looks like, we've got to do whatever the big guy wants us to do if we ever want to get home, and right now it seems like we're supposed to help you... well... what exactly are we supposed to do for you?"
The Plum and Only
"Big scary guy didn't tell you much huh?" came the question from the left.
"Well, neither did he to us..." the right-hand head shook.
"There again.... Where are you from, how much do you know already?"
He took his time analysing the area they were sent to, after Dialga had left. With so many people on the city, it would be easy to gather information about what was going on. They were even lucky with that, as a Dodrio approached them to talk.
The torchic walked towards him and faced him. "Excuse me, but... Um, what is going on there? No one told us anything about what we're supposed to do, and why we were brought here. So, what's going on there?".
The Plum and Only
"Hmm, think we can fill in the blanks for these guys?" the middle head asked.
Lefty responded; "Yeah, let's give it a go. I mean, they don't seem like prisoners like us, probably shouldn't even be talking to 'em, but if we aren't we're already in hot water."
"You've got to admit though, this town is pretty comfortable for a prison." the middle responded.
"You guys are going off the tracks a bit here." their right-sided brother commented, which was answered with a resounding groan from the other two.
The right-side head continued: "Well, wherever you've come from and Dialga's taken over, says he's got some kind of a big plan, no more war in the world, gonna stop anyone who won't go with the idea, that kind of deal. Sort of thing you'd hear in a story really. But this town you're in now is basically a prison, or it's guarded at least. But for a prison, it's pretty neat, we get treated well, there's no hard labour, we're actually treated fairly. We might not be allowed to go, but I guess we kind of don't want to."
Meanwhile, on the other side of the Dodrio's head -
"I know I saw you giving that Pidgeot eyes man!"
the middle head refuted the statement - "Hey, she was looking at me."
"All I'm saying, we got one body between us, you tell us two if you're going to try anything with her."
"Woah!"
A Roselia came sailing through the portal and landed in a heap infront of the dodrio. Actually the Roselia was a rather baffled and frightened Mitzuki- he had seen the portal open and he had seen the other pokemon get pushed through, he was still abit undecided about going through a portal to who-knows-where but one glare from Dialga had sent him scurrying through.
"Ow...."
Mitzuki the Roselia looked up at what appeared to be a giant three headed bird.
This was not going to be his day- depending on what the Dodrio said and did it may get from bad to worse.
"HEY!" Lars shouted at the birds. "Shut up about chasing tail. What in the hell are we supposed to do here? Play house?"
Master Saboteur
"I don't mind." Neil said, and sat down on the ground. "So where's the food?"
"Why does everything have to loop back to YGO?" -Guy who ruined YGO
The Plum and Only
The Dodrio startled at Lars' outburst, all of it did.
"Hey! Why would I chase tails?"
"What's house?"
Dialga exited the time portal. It had decided that meeting in the night was perfect to speak to Arceus about their new arrivals.
Master. I come.
"I have been waiting."
"Then what do you know about the new pokémon who are here? They seemed to be resistant to my Roar of Time"
Arceus knew already that Dialga had failed to hurt them with it's most powerful ability. "Your weakness is none of my concern, Dialga."
"It is not weakness!" the temporal god flared up in anger at it's master.
"Remember your place, before I place you in it." the gods held a glare at each other that lasted several seconds. They are humans. Their resistance to your attack is nothing but a mistake. Your mistake. Tell them to deal with the Guardians. They have been a pain in our side since they chose to resist us and it will save us losing pokémon that are important to us and if they ARE resistant to us attacking, then we may have something greater here."
"As you wish. They may have a night to settle in."
Dialga returned through the time portal it had come in through, a bitter taste in it's mouth after it's master's belittling.
"Food! Oh, we've got plenty of that, meateaters, gotta catch your own though." the Dodrio's only sensible head interjected between his brothers' senseless ramblings. "Come on! Follow us!" Whilst the other two whispered amongst themselves about the potential reasoning for chasing tail and what games they could play with houses, they jaunted away from the group so they could follow behind.

"You assholes!" Lars said, angry that the birds weren't responding to him with anything other than questions. "FOCUS!" he added, launching himself at the Dodrio, fists-first. He was surprised by how strong his legs were when he pushed, and flew at the bird with alarming speed.

The dodrio turned startled and awkwardly began running backwards from the enraged Machop
"Whoa there!"
"Hey, what are you-"
"Calm down!"
All of it's protests at once were in vain as Lars bore down on them. Dodrio never were a defensively gifted species....
Looking around, the humans may have noticed that a lot of the other pokémon who had been just ambient, dealing with their business noticed that one of the new arrivals had decided to strike up a fight. Well, if they wanted a fight, they were going to get one. Those of the pokémon that were fighters began to crowd around... All kinds, and they looked angry.
Phil started shaking again. "Man, what trouble have you dropped us in now?" Despite being the largest member of his group, he felt hilariously weak. He tried to gently slide away, join the pokémon that were advancing on them, save himself dammit, but he found himself being thrown back towards the others by what seemed to be an eight-foot tall living rock
◊. "Oh, we are screwed."
Kei was... lost. She had stepped into the portal, albeit hesitantly, but now wherever she was, she wasn't with everyone else.
When you're a scared eleven year old kid, this sort of thing is... problematic. As a result she fell to the floor and started to cry.
"Yup. That tasted purple."
Master Saboteur
Neil became seriously annoyed at Lars. "Dude! What the hell? They were going to take us to the food!" He then noticed the others closing in on them with expressions not too friendly. "Great... Now look what you've done."
"Why does everything have to loop back to YGO?" -Guy who ruined YGO
The deity seemed to require it's moment to stop and think.
"You do nothing. You follow. You do not ask questions. Then we decide when you are to be returned."
