Chapter 34

Song: Butter-Fly (English Fan Dub Ver.)

Artist: LeeandLie (Original Japanese Artist: Koji Wada)

My broken wings dream of the sky,
And they'll never be able to fly.

Only if we never try,
On my loo-o-o-ove!

If I could become just one thing,
I'd be a butterfly-free soaring.

I really miss you...
So finally I'm on my way.

Let's focus on the people we trust
And leave out all the doubt behind us.

So if you're ready...
Can we go? 'Cause there's no time to wa-aste.

I wanna kno-o-ow oh...
If the sky above is only for show.

I wanna kno-o-ow oh...
What tomorrow will bring so let's spread our wi-i-ings!

Maybe this world's an infinite dream,
And there is only hope living in me!

May it not fail me now!
We'll turn this thing around and bring back the lovin' somehow!

My broken wings dream of the sky,
and they'll never be able to fly!

Only if we never try,
On my lo-o-ove!

On my lo-o-o-ove!

Over back on Remnant, Taiyang is sitting on some old stone bricks while watching his daughters in a Pokemon Contest. He smiles while seeing how fast his daughters have grown and have well adjusted they've become in that world. While enjoying, he cheers for them.

"Come on, girls!" he cheers, "Do your best!"

Yet a soldier approach, "Excuse me, Mr. Xiao Long?"

"Yeah, what?!" Tai gets angry for being interrupted and pauses his video.

"We're ready to explore a little further."

Tai sighs and puts his scroll away and gets up, "Fine. Let's go."

Back at Beacon Academy, Team JNPR watches the match between Ruby and Yang unfold. Nora made t-shirts for Jaune and Pyrrha to wear with Jaune's shirt being yellow that reads, 'Go YANG!' while Pyrrha's shirt is red that reads, 'Go RUBY!'

"GO FOR IT, RUBY!" Nora cheers.

Ren is holding a yellow flag and cheers emotionless, "Yay. Go Yang."

On the holovision, they see Blazerina using flamethrower on the incoming razor leaves and burns them. But when the flamethrower is done, Florence disappeared. Blazerina look around yet gets hit in the back of the head.

"Incredible! Ruby's Swadloon just pulled a ninja act despite the flames to the face and manage to deal a blow."

Nora jumps up, "YAAAAAY!"

Pyrrha cheers with a little red flag, "Way to go, Ruby!"

But then they see Blazerina using a powered up, fiery mach punch on Florence, it was over.

Nora jumps in anger, "Dang it!"

Ren says, "Considering that Florence is a bug and grass-type, fire is its weakness. Although Florence's reaction was a little slow."

But Nora grabs Ren and gives him a noogie...a hard one.

"Ow-ow-ow! Nora! Stop!" Ren tries to break free from Nora's tight grip and avoids getting his skull crushed by Nora's overpowering noogie.

She lets go and says, "Whatever!" She grabs Pyrrha into the bathroom real quick in a form of a cartoon dash.

Nora bursts out and has Pyrrha in a yellow shirt that is identical to Jaune's.

"We're gonna cheer Yang on until she wins!" Nora pumps herself up with jogs, pushups, and pumps iron with dumbells.

Pyrrha and Jaune noticed the identical shirts they are wearing and they turn their faces away, blush and smile.

Yet the moment gets interrupted with Nora cheering, "GO FOR THE GOLD, YANG!" She is really into it as the next round of the contest is about to begin.

Ren states, "It's supposed to be a ribbon."

He ended up getting a pillow thrown in his face by Nora and is knocked down. Nora's really into it.

Nora screams out with fire in her eyes...literally, "GO CRUSH SOME SKULLS!" Apparently she is a fan.

Ren gets back up with the pillow still on his head as Jaune and Pyrrha sit back down.

Jaune asks, "Is Team CFVY on another mission?"

"They are." Ren removes the pillow, "They're doing a village security mission to the northeast on the coast of Vale."

Pyrrha says, "I thought it was a search and destroy mission?"

"No, it was a village security mission."

"SSSSHHH!" Nora shushes everyone in her team, "It's starting!"

So Team JNPR spends the day watching the events unfold on holovision.

In her own personal airship, Winter watches a clip of her sister doing her hardest to win the Pokemon Contest.

She smirks, "My sister always love the spotlight." Then she blushes a little when she sees Cutsie, "Yet she has an adorable creature."

"Miss Schnee?" the pilot says to Winter.

Winter nearly dropped her scroll and juggles it in her hands before finally catching it, puts it away and goes back to her usual self. "Yes, pilot?" she speaks in her usual tone and tries to hide her embarrassment.

"Did you say something?"

Winter raises her tone, "It's just your imagination. Focus on getting us towards Vale."

The pilot snickers, "Sure."

"Are you snickering?"

"Just your imagination, ma'am."

Back in his office, Ozpin watches the Brazil City Pokemon Contest. But he is watching the part where Blake almost got squashed and her shadow clone semblance somehow gained sentience.

"Hmm?" Ozpin notices the two Blakes.

The real Blake touches the shadow clone and it disappears.

"Very interesting."

Ozpin then fast forward to the conversation where Team RWBY discuss about how the world they are stuck in to see if he can get further insight on how it is possible.

"If that world is capable of influencing someone's semblance, I wonder how much of an 'upgrade' of their abilities will go." He tilts his head towards the left, "I should discuss this with the teachers in our next meeting."

Across Vale, everyone has taken an interest in what Team RWBY is doing in the new world they are stuck in. Heck, all of Remnant are enjoying the wonders of Pokemon Contests and these videos have gotten more and more popular. Everyone from Atlas, Vacuo, Mistral, Vale and even Menagerie enjoy this new show with episodes appearing every twenty minutes. Yet there is something else brewing... Some of the shops now have models of the Cosplay Pikachus that are available for- Sorry, let's get back to the story.

Back in the ruins, deep underground, Taiyang explores some of the more flooded areas while having a mask on to seal off any black mold that might be in the area. He is using a flashlight to light up the path, all alone. There are some thick roots hanging from the ceiling as Taiyang wades through knee-deep waters in an area that seems more like a cave then ruins. The area is still part of the ruins but it seems more like a cave with the walls being more cavern-like yet have some smooth stone walls with degraded murals with only traces of paint that had faded and are destroyed beyond recognition. There are a few columns that look similar to the ones in Egypt with writing on them, yet they too are degraded. Some of them have been cracked and destroyed by some of the roots.

Taiyang look around to see if he can find anything of useful to help get his daughters back. He traverse through to see what he can find. Tai travels further and further to see what in the world was this part of the temple is used for.

'What is this place supposed to be?' Taiyang asks himself as he looks around. 'I feel like I'm in some fancy sewer system or something. I can't smell, but I hope I'm not swimming in sewage.'

Taiyang explores further until he comes across a flight of stairs going upwards. It is some sort of spiral staircase made of stone and steel as he sees that it goes high up.

'Oh come on.' Taiyang looks down, 'Do I really have to climb all those stairs?'

He did and regrets it as he crawl his way to the top. Once there, he is on his knees and takes his mask off to breathe easier.

"I really need to get out more."

After a few moments of rest, he stands up and continues to explore. Yet he comes across some sort of silvery metal door with a very, very, very complicated locks. Some engraving puzzles, slide puzzle locks, turning locks, and a lot of ancient locks.

"Wow." he is at awe with the door, "Overcompensating much?" He cracks his knuckles to prepare to do some code breaking, "Well, better get to work."

Actually, he just punches the wall next to the door and breaks in since it is made of regular stone bricks.

He claps his hands, "Better to use force than doing some ridiculous puzzle." He looks at the door, "I mean seriously, those locks are more trouble than they are. Why some ancient civilization have a lock that complicated? It's not a treasury."

Taiyang looks around with his flashlight and notices some wooden bookshelves full of old volumes and tomes that seem to be untouched by time. So he looks over at the doorway and sees some sort of mechanism that is meant to light the room. Some sort of tripwire attached to some flint and there is a scent of some sort of oil that is connected to some of the torches. He takes the flint and lights it. The oil is set on fire that spreads to the said torches that light the place up. Above are crystal chandeliers that glow by the reaction of the light from the torches. Once the room is lit up, Taiyang sees at least hundreds of bookshelves with a whole lot of books, tomes and other such books that are remarkably clean and untouched by time.

There are even artifacts scattered around such as a large skeletal Aerodactyl with five Archeopses hanging from the ceiling. A glass case with all the known fossils (and some Fakemon ones) neatly organized. A skeletal fossil of a saber-toothed Pokemon (Scimitooth from Pokemon Vega) below the flying-type Pokemon skeletons.

Scimitooth, the Saber Pokemon. Rock and electric-type. It viciously attacks prey with its two enormous fangs, landing the final blow by skewering them straight through.

AN: I know that there is no Megadex, but someone wanted more Pokedex entries.

There are even chests and other glass cases filled with whatever sort of artifacts there are in this room. Taiyang notices that the wooden shelves and furniture seems extremely clean. As he rub two fingers of his right hand, there is no trace of dust as if the entire room was vacuum sealed. Not to mention the lack of cobwebs.

He whistles, "I think I just hit the jackpot." Taiyang pulls out his scroll and calls the archaeologists, "Hey! I found a massive library of some sort! Get down here!"

Moments later, many of the archaeologists came and investigate all the books, artifacts and fossils in this strange library to learn more about, well, everything.

One of the archaeologist says to Ironwood over his scroll, "I can't read the language of these books. It is written in a strange language that seem to be written from a later date than the writings on the walls. Although we could use that Bulbapedia site to translate them." He is referring to the script similarly on the ruins of the Galar Region.

"Do what you can." Ironwood says via the archaeologist's scroll. "We need as much information on the Pokemon World as we can and the connection between that world and this one."

Taiyang is looking over an ancient scroll and sees pictures of DNA, some strange devices, and people turning into some sort of human/Pokemon hybrid.

One of the archaeologists approach and asks, "What is that?"

Taiyang says, "It appears to be some basic drawing of people turning into some form of hybrids through some strange device." He points at the device, "I wonder if this strange device here is what created the gods." The device he is pointing at is similar, nay, identical to the DNA Splicers from Pokemon Black and White 2. "At least that's what it looks like."

The archaeologist takes a closer look at the scroll and sees the pictures. "You might be right."

At one of the bookshelves, Cinder is looking at the books as she over hears the conversation. She has taken a great interest in the DNA Splicers. She is also wondering if she can use it herself.

The archaeologist says, "I wonder if those things are here in the temple."

Cinder wanders off to meet with her team.

At the bottom of the stairs, Mercury groans, "I hate having to wade through water. My legs are gonna get rusted at this rate." as he sits on a rock close to the stairs.

Emerald is sitting on the railway as she looks down at Mercury, "At least you don't have to feel water in your boots. My feet feel weird and my shoes will smell horrible for a week." Then she looks at the water, "I hope we did not go through an ancient sewer."

Mercury empties the water in his left boot, "Hope there's no black mold. I'm too young to die."

Cinder comes down the stairs, "Mercury, Emerald, pack-up. We have much more of the ruins to explore."

Emerald asks, "For more treasure?"

Cinder evily grins, "Oh. We are gonna search for the greatest treasure that there is."

Mercury just complains after a few moments of silence, "I just had my boots emptied."

AN: Hey everyone. I hope you enjoy this new chapter. Sorry if I made this short, but time constraints and my job and all that. Hopefully I can write a longer chapter next time. See ya!
