Summary:
Knowledge is not good nor evil: It has no master and knows no end. Knowledge is not good nor evil: it's what you do with it that matters.
Amy has a lot of knowledge on Pokémon. She knows type-advantages and battle styles. She knows that there are legendaries that watch over the world and she knows that humans have a habit of making the worst decisions when it comes to controlling these legendaries.
But she doesn't know one thing, there is one thing she doesn't understand. Why is she here?
This is the story of a journey: a journey to find answers, a journey to find understanding, a journey to find out just who she is. Amy needs this, she needs to discover who she is, because Amy is an Outsider.

Disclaimer: It's been ages since I've done one of these. I don't own Pokemon. I just own a few games.

Pokémon: a popular TV show, collection of games, cards and films. Collectors around the world, our world, collect them/watch them/play them. Fans write their own versions and chat endlessly about what they would do if they could go there. Of course, everyone knows you can't…

Meanwhile, in a different universe…

Arceus was trying to get himself heard over the other legendaries. He knew it was a bad move inviting all of them, but some had to be present; others it was best to invite or resign yourself to being chased through space and time searching for the reason why you didn't invite them. Being the all-powerful creator Pokémon, he didn't have time to do that. Nor, really, did he have time for this. But there was something important that needed to be said, and it needed to be said now, because something was going to begin to happen.

There was a tension in the air as many of the legendary Pokémon who had fought each other since the dawn of time settled themselves on either side of the metaphorical room. This was not helped by the bird trio, who were causing havoc with the weather in the heavens. Thunder would crash, lightning crackle, fireballs explode and blizzards hailed hatred amongst the rest, particularly those dragon Pokémon who were a little nervous around ice. Apart from Kyurem, and several other ice legendaries, who sat back on their haunches and lifted their faces into the blizzard. Arceus nodded at Rayquaza and all weather effects ceased.

How had a simple discussion turned into the brink of war? Arceus tried, over his pounding headache, to remember why he had called the legendaries here in the first place. It was something to do with humans. Then again, it was nearly always something to do with humans. Humans, the legendaries have tolerated living on their world for countless generations, because they cared for Pokémon and looked after Pokémon, were as one with Pokémon in many ways. But, as with everything, there were the odd bump in the smooth timeline who cropped up, but were usually flattened before any damage really happened. In fact, there had been peace for so long that Arceus had sent many legendaries in a sleep so that their fighting did not disturb this peace. He needed peace. Chaos gave him headache.

Speaking of headaches, his current one was getting worse. He was reaching the point when he started dishing out a serious round of Judgements. He knew that this would not help, but was reaching the point where he could see no other alternative. He tried recalling why they were there. Human…

It was the sudden rise of, what Arceus liked to call, anti-humans, humans who were opposed to peace, who were cruel to Pokémon, who wanted to reawaken legendaries, that sort of thing. There had been the odd one or two over the years, but suddenly, there were groups appearing and not just in one or two regions. They were appearing everywhere. And Arceus knew that there were only a limited number of humans who were good enough to combat them.

There was a cry from somewhere near the back of the metaphorical room that Arceus had constructed for the meeting. It was the Creation Trio again. Arceus knew that out of all the legendaries, they were the worst to stick in the same space-time dimension. He would not have done it if it had not been for the fact that they were central in one of the predictions from Dialga and Celebi, the two time legendaries who could read future advents.

Giratina had still not settled down. Ever since Dialga had brought up the prophecy about humans, calling themselves "Galactic", and what they will do, Giratina had been going nonstop at Arceus to do something. Arceus would try and explain politely that he had purposely set himself back so that he wouldn't meddle in human affairs. Besides, Dialga had concluded that it would all end happily. That apparently wasn't good enough for Giratina. Palkia looked set to pounce on Dialga any moment and was only held back by Arceus' command.

Uxie, Mesprit and Azelf, all were also mentioned in the prophecy, sat together in a corner of the darkness in deep discussion. At least, Uxie and Mesprit were discussing something but Arceus had a feeling that Azelf had gone back to sleep. That was the problem with sending legendaries into a never ending sleep. They tended to have difficult staying awake once woken and when properly awake, they tended to get very angry, very quickly.
Another prophecy was facing the three Hoenn legendaries – Kyogre, Groudon and Rayquaza – were struggling not to attack one another when stuck in the same dimension. When Arceus let Dialga tell them what was to come, they immediately started bickering about who started it. Arceus had had a go at them for disrupting the peace and they stopped although they were still indecisive at whose fault it was.

Arceus was pleased that Reshiram and Zekrom had stopped fighting, although that might have been something do to with Arceus' threat to stick them back into one dragon and let them fight internally to see who was right. that way, Arceus had declared, none of us would have to listen to you. Kyurem was now sitting smugly in between them, practically waiting for them to continue.

It's alright for them, Arceus thought, no matter what happens in Unova, the villain behind it all has a caring heart, according to Celebi (who always did try and see the best in people), and so no real damage happens. It was everyone else, like the prophecy about corrupting space and time into a new world that worried Arceus.

Mew was zooming over their heads coming up with wild, practically impossible ideas (like blowing up the planet and creating a new one) whilst his clone, Mewtwo, stood calmly watching him and feeling rather superior about being the more mature clone. Mew hadn't always been like this, but ever since he had been cloned, he'd been feeling rather giddy, which was unfortunate for everyone else. Arceus had half a mind to shut him up in some remote cave on the very brink of a region, or not in a region at all.

Humans, Arceus thought as Unown danced about his head, the problem is humans: Bad humans outnumbering the good humans.

Well then, said a little thought in his ear, all we need are more good humans.

We cannot tell humans of what is to come, Arceus thought back angrily, think how they would react. It might cause the blips to act sooner. Maybe we should just let it all play out and it would work out for the best.

Will it? Said the little voice, I'm not sure it will. All it takes is for one person to change their mind, for one little delay, for something to occur out of place and all the good in the world goes up in smoke.

Buzz off before I summon Judgement, Arceus snapped. The Unown flittered and zoomed away. Angry as Arceus was, he had to admit that they had a point. All it would take is for one thing to go wrong and… Arceus did not really want to think about the and…

We need humans who know what is to come and yet we cannot directly tell them. Arceus wondered about creating some Unown ruins in the past to relate to future problems. How many people would believe that that was a message from Pokémon? How many would act upon it? Psychics were out of the question. There were no real psychics about anymore, Arceus thought sadly. That would have made this so much easier.

So it came as a surprise to him that Mew's only sensible suggestion of the meeting turned out to be the best way to solve their problem.

Arceus was nearly at bursting point and was getting ready to deal out Judgements to all those giving him a headache when Mewtwo sidled up to him and muttered in his ear. He nodded at Mew who was now being chased back and forward by Zapdos, egged on by Articuno and Moltres, and murmured Mew's suggestion into Arceus' ear.

Forced silence descended upon the legendaries thicker than Celestic town fog. Any arguments that continued, Arceus at least could not hear as he rose to his full height, which was still shorter than some of the other legendaries, and explained the plan.

"There is another universe," Arceus explained, "a universe inhabited by humans, but not by Pokémon. To make up for that, these humans created Pokémon in the form of stories to tell to their children, so they could feel a part of this world. Many of these humans know of what will happen because of the stories they tell. If we could bring a human with the knowledge of Pokémon from that world into ours, they may be able to change the course of the history in our universe. They will know what will happen and they can strive to stop it!"

There was a pause as this plan was thought over. And then all of the legendaries tried talking at once through the silence. Arceus was reluctant to remove the silence; his headache just going down.

"How are we going to get them from their universe into ours?" was the first question he heard.

The silence was back before he heard anymore. "Palkia, Dialga and Giratina can aid me in creating some sort of portal to bring them through. Celebi, you can be in charge of distributing them evenly across time and space. When they reach a certain age, we can send them back. We can freeze time in their world to make it fair on those we take and those left behind. And when we send them back, they will remember this only as a dream."

They were still clamouring the other side of the silence.

"How will you know which ones to take?" was the next question Arceus allowed through.

This took Arceus a little longer to answer, several centuries longer. Finally, he found the answer. "We could send Rotom through. He can check their electrical appliances for any connections to our world. That is how we will know which the right one to bring through is." He did not add that they would not know for sure if a hero would be brought through, or, in fact, they would help, but he did not need to. Many of the legendaries had already spotted this problem just were a little nervous about stating it.

There was a muted murmur as the others agreed with the idea. Arceus dismissed them to do their jobs and silently wished that this idea would work. If it didn't, he was going to have a serious talk with Mew and Mewtwo. And then with the world in general.

Please tell me what you think because if you don't like it, well if you don't like it I don't really care, but if you do like it I'd like to know so please review!
