"What on earth... is happening?"
Alamos Town sat atop a plateau in the center of a lake, connected to the Sinnoh Continent by a large bridge.
At this moment, all the facilities connecting Alamos Town to the outside world seemed to be cut off by a fog, obscuring the road ahead.
Minutes before, the police were still orderly organizing residents' evacuation over the bridge to the outside world.
However, as the fog appeared, batch after batch of evacuating people entered the fog only to quickly find themselves back where they started, an eerie phenomenon.
Silently, they realized they seemed to be trapped inside Alamos Town.
Indeed, the residents who had first responded to the evacuation call had left Alamos Town during the daytime.
The rest, due to various reasons, were initially unwilling to evacuate and only reluctantly agreed to leave after the police persuaded them.
Crisis or not, the authorities hadn't provided a reasonable explanation... not many believed it.
Even during the evacuation, there were still people dragging their feet.
But now...
Bang!
After entering the fog twice and returning to the starting point, a young man was so frightened that he sat down on the ground.
"I clearly... was walking straight ahead."
"Can't we get out??"
In an instant, he regretted his inaction, feeling a cold dread inside.
"Miss Jucha, what's going on?"
"Save us."
"Let us out."
Instantly, Alamos Bridge became noisy.
"Everyone, please remain calm."
Miss Juchas acted quickly to reorganize order.
But even the Miss Juchas were somewhat panicked at this moment.
"This fog..."
A Miss Jucha said with a headache, her eyes full of doubt as she gazed at the quietly appearing and ever-spreading, thickening fog, feeling a tingling on her scalp.
Looking at the chaotic crowd, she felt like crying without tears; if only you had cooperated at the start, we'd all be evacuated by now.
She was only eighteen!!!
She didn't even have a boyfriend!!!
She hadn't even been made permanent at her internship!
Was she going to die here?
This fog didn't look like anything that normally appeared at this time, and the young Miss Jucha felt a piercing pain in her heart.
Most importantly, she had no idea what would happen next in Alamos Town; facing the unknown was the most terrifying.
"Let's not descend into chaos!"
"Aoow!!"
An imposing Arcanine maintained order with its presence and flames, while this Miss Jucha took out her walkie-talkie, hoping to contact her colleagues outside the fog... but alas...
Miss Jucha: (╥╯^╰╥)
No signal...
"Damn it, what exactly is going on!!!"
Miss Jucha furiously glared at the fog, using her "glaring" skill, but sadly to no avail.
"Pidgeot, use Defog."
Next to her, a Trainer opened a Poké Ball, trying to use the power of Pokemon, but even a Hurricane couldn't disperse the fog.
Seeing this, Miss Jucha despaired; someone save her, and she would willingly devote herself.
......
......
"This is... a Space-Time Rift phenomenon..."
Above the bridge, under the Miss Juchas' lead, order was quickly restored, and everyone began trying to find a way out.
At that moment, a figure observing the fog spoke up swiftly.
She had also just walked back from the fog.
However, upon close inspection, Miss Jucha realized she wasn't one of the residents she was responsible for.
"Fortunately... fortunately, I made it into Alamos Town before the fog completely enveloped it. I'm so lucky," the Temple Guardian Sheena patted her chest, relieved.
She had almost not made it.
Miss Jucha, and a heap of people now thinking of getting out but unable to: ???
Listen, is that something a person would say?
Doesn't it sound utterly insensitive!!!
"You came... from the outside??" the intern Miss Jucha gaped, looking at her.
"Yes..." Sheena nodded and then her expression turned serious: "Of course, I have permission to enter. Miss Jucha, please do me a favor and immediately notify everyone in town not to try to pass through this fog anymore."
"'Space-Time Rift' phenomena are full of unknowns, everything is still a mystery, and who knows what anomalies might occur."
"But please be assured... the incident... should be resolved soon."
She had received a message from Hirona at the same time that her companion had just returned to the Temple, taking over her task of observing the Time-space instrument.
As for Sheena, who possessed the Super Cronos Power, she had quickly rushed to Alamos Town, hoping to help in some way...
Her arrival seemed most timely.
Under Miss Jucha's bewildered gaze, Sheena looked up at the sky.
"Hurry."
She looked towards the culprit behind all this.
With hands joined together and eyes closed, she attempted to communicate with them.
Overcome the laws of space-time—
White light engulfed Sheena's entire body.
Seeing this, the people around showed surprised expressions.
Meanwhile, Sheena's whisper was heard.
"They... are very angry now."
"Unable to establish contact."
"Things have gotten more complicated..."
"Who are they?" asked Miss Jucha.
"The deities governing time and space."
At this moment, the skies above Alamos Town.
The entire sky had already twisted into existence.
Behind the distorted space were two independent time-spaces pressing against each other.
Boom!!
Boom!!!!
Within these two independent time-spaces, one was darkness, the other was nothingness, and only occasionally did the breaking of space-time produce strong light and white fragments.
Angry roars echoed from inside the different spaces.
