Intangible

In all said and done, Juno ended up being the one to escort Sora to Area A. Model X was carefully tucked in her pocket to join along for extra moral support. Or maybe more so to keep the two in line. They quite happily chatted as they got onto the transerver and for some of the walk. If you wouldn’t have known better, you would have thought that there were two good friends catching up after a long week apart.

“Hey Juno,” Sora asked after at least five other ‘hey, Juno’s before then, “What were Aile and Vent like when they were younger?”

“Oh boy!” Juno laughed. “Do I have stories to tell you! There’s so many, I don't even know where to start.”

Sora gave a laugh of his own. He liked seeing her happy.

“Which one was the most memorable?” he asked.

“Oh that’s easy! Well, it’s more of a series of events, but I'll never forget it. But Aile and Vent, before they hit 5 or so, they used to be able to leech information off each other. Or it seemed like it, at least.”

This information caused Sora to pause. Leech information off each other? How did that work?

“What do you mean?” he wondered.

Juno thought it over for a bit, trying to find a good example for her technologically illiterate friend.

“Aile loved learning about stuff, but Vent got bored of pretty much everything rather easily.” she told him. “But wouldn’t you know, even if he wasn’t in the same room as her, Vent would know just about everything Aile did. How big’s the earth? What does Orion look like? Did Reploids in the really old times have Cyber-Elves too, or is it something only Reploids now can do? It was insane!”

‘It wasn’t that bad.’ Model X objected. ‘There were things Vent would know that Aile didn’t, and vice versa.’

“Not much.” Juno pointed out. “I think you’re just focusing on the soft stuff, you softie. You don’t have much of a concept of what’s creepy or not outside of bad vibes. No offense.”

‘None taken.’

Sora grinned. He then absently placed a hand over his heart as he thought about Roxas.

“I’ve had other hearts inside of mine.” the boy wondered. “I wonder if I learned anything off of them too.”

‘It’s possible.’ Model X agreed. ‘We’re always learning new things from the hearts that touch ours. In a way, it’s what makes us human.’

“So says the metal rock.” Juno snorted. They all went into a small laughter at that.

When they settled down, Sora and Juno continued with idle chatter to help pass the time. Some of their talks had to go on hold as they got to the highest point in Area A. The terrain steeped a bit, making it essential that they focused on where they were going. Once they got to the top of the hill, they all took a deep breath in. It took Sora a slow second to realize that this was where he had landed when he first arrived. The view was exactly how he remembered it. If anything, it was more beautiful.

“I’ve always wanted to have a picnic here.” Juno mused. “Sure, there’s a lot of Mavericks to get around, but this is probably one of the prettiest spots in the country.”

‘It does have a different feeling to it, doesn’t it?’ Model X sighed.

“It’s like being at the top of the world.” Sora agreed. After this, they all let out a collective sigh of thought.

‘Alright,’ Model X declared, ‘Do you still have the letter, Sora?’

“Yep!” the boy affirmed as he pulled it out of his pocket.

‘Good. Now, do your thing.’

Sora gave a firm nod. Carefully, lovingly, Sora placed the letter on the ground- making sure it was in a place where it wouldn’t easily blow away. He stepped a bit away before preparing his Keyblade. The familiar weapon started to glow at its tip, the letter slowly rising off the ground as Sora raised the Keyblade itself. A flash of light from the Keyblade connected to the letter once they were level with each other. The letter slowly started to dissolve into brilliant dust-like particles. Those particles danced in the wind for a moment before taking on a new shape. A keyhole.

Sora put down the Keyblade when the light connecting the weapon to the letter dissipated. The keyhole in front of them was semi-transparent, and slightly shimmered in the light. It almost gave the impression that it wasn’t truly there. Nothing more than a small trick of light. The unfortunate thing was that no one knew if it was supposed to look like that.

“Good job, Sora.” a soft, tender voice congratulated. Then, at the keyhole, a new figure started to appear. Juno make a preemptive reach for her buster, but didn’t pull it out.

The figure started to take the form of a human girl. Part of her light blonde hair rested on her shoulder, while the rest hung behind her. Her light blue eyes politely looked at Sora as her hands were knit inside each other. She looked rather timid, shuffling a bit in place. Her white dress shuffled a bit with her.

“Namine!” Sora happily exclaimed before going to hug his friend. It was a horrible shock as he fell over himself- his body phasing through hers. Juno was quick to help Sora back to his feet. His pride was more wounded than his body. Namine gave him a sympathetic smile. She had missed him a lot too, but already knew that she wouldn’t be fully tangible to him. Over-1 had warned her of that much.

“Are you alright?” she asked with genuine apology.

“Yeah…” Sora sighed. Then he looked up at his friend with a new sense of determination. Perhaps sounding a bit too accusatory, he proceeded to ask her, “What are you doing in this world? Or.. half here, since I can’t hug you.”

Namine laughed a little at his expense.

“I’m here to relay a message.” she explained. “About why you’re here.”

Both Sora and Juno recoiled a little at the news. If you were paying close enough attention, you could even feel Model X reel back as well. Namine took it as permission to continue.

“You may not remember,” Namine started, “But you were in the Lanes Between. A rather odd anomaly appeared and, despite Chip and Dale’s wishes, you left the Gummiship to investigate it. The anomaly quickly swallowed you whole, and we thought you were lost for good.”

“But I didn’t.” Sora quickly interjected. “I got sent here.”

Namine nodded. “Not long after, a Reploid named Over-1 approached me and said that he had a way to bring you back home. I… don’t know all of Over-1’s story, but he doesn’t seem like a bad person. Together we’ve been working on a way to get you back home. Using the letter to open up a gateway was the first big step in this. But the pathway isn’t open yet. We need another important object from our world to help establish the link.”

“Gotcha.” Sora nodded. Then he realized something that came out in a sudden, “Wait! Was it you two that brought the paopu fruit over?”

Namine nodded. That was when Sora let out a sheepish laugh, absently rubbing the back of his neck.

“I guess if I had used that instead, we’d be closer to coming home. Huh?”

“Yes and no.” Namine told him. “Over-1 was a bit frustrated, but I knew you would have followed your heart, regardless.”

Sora shot her a beaming grin as Juno thought something over.

“I’ve never tasted anything so sweet.” she said. “I can see why it’s an important part of your world.”

Namine turned to Juno, and gave her a light smile. Juno returned it with a bright grin of her own.

“Guess this is just one more thing I gotta thank you for.” Sora decided before giving his nose a playful brush.

“I guess so.” Namine agreed with a light laugh. She then turned to Juno, giving her a nod of appreciation. “Thank you for all that you and Girouette are doing to keep Sora safe. It means a lot to me. To all of us.”

A blush found its way onto Juno’s face; one that fit quite well with the wide grin she was giving.

“It’s not a problem” the young woman insisted. “I’d never have the heart to just let Vent or Aile wander alone, so what’s another rambunctious kid?”

“Hey!” Sora huffed before going into a bright laughter. The rest soon joined him. The joy of being together echoed through the otherwise quiet forest.

After awhile, Namine had to stop them.

“It’s time for me to go back to Over-1.” she said to Sora and Juno. Her form was also starting to fade in and out as she said this. “We’ll do what we can to send the next part of our world to this one. In the mean time, don’t get into too much trouble. Okay?”

“I’ll keep him in line.” Juno decided with a grin, throwing a hand about Sora’s shoulders, knocking his balance off for a moment. “We all will.”

“Good.” Namine happily replied just as her form disappeared altogether. All that remained was the faintly shimmering keyhole, and a quiet forest.

Juno was the first to talk.

“I’ll contact Prairie to see if we can’t get some security coverage in this area.” she said, already putting a hand on her headset. “Maybe even see if they can’t keep a closer eye on energy anomalies that may occur. You’ll be home in no time, Sora.”

“Right.” he agreed with a nod. He grinned as he looked from her and back out to the main city’s skyline. For a moment he thought ‘I’m glad to call this place home,’ and not once considered correcting himself.

. . .

Prairie was a different person when she was leading her troops. Sora could only watch in mild bewilderment as she went around.

“Thon, we need the barrier closer to the keyhole or else it’ll lose its connection to the charge station.” she barked at one Guardian. At another she demanded, “Congre, stop jumping at every bird chirp and bring those spark rods to Maquereau. Sometime today would be wonderful.”

“How are you two doing?” Girouette’s soft voice asked. Sora turned to see that the Reploid was coming toward them. He was merged with Model Z at this point. It was mostly so he could give the Guardians some extra strength, if they needed it, but also because he tried to keep some amount of secrecy to his true identity. The only ones who really knew he was Girouette was the commander, Fleuve, and the Guardian’s nurses.

“The energy around here feels different now.” Juno said first. “Can you feel it?”

‘Yes.’ Model Z replied before anyone else could speak.

“Is it agitating Model O?” Girouette asked, a distressed frown pressing onto his lips. When Juno shook her head, the Reploid let out a sigh of relief.

“I can hear the ocean.” Sora quietly said. “Just like the ones at home.”

Giro and Juno looked toward the boy. His gaze had shifted to the keyhole and he was now staring at it with a certain longing in his eyes. It was almost like he was saying goodbye.

“You’ll be home soon enough.” Girouette assured him.

Sora slowly turned his head to face the Reploid. The corners of his mouth twitched a bit as he ran through his thoughts. In a small, unsure voice, he asked, “What if I don’t want to?”

EVERYONE SAY HI TO MY GOOFY OC. her name is professor tuckamore and she's the worst ever.

After a trip to Cinnabar Island, Tuckamore's course of life was changed forever. She saw something on the coastline that shouldn't have been there—something that shouldn't have existed at all. After finding no plausible explanation for what it could've been, she took to Pokemon research herself, forever searching after that forbidden variable.

Basically, Tuckamore researches (or TRIES to research) the in-universe equivalent of glitches, glitch Pokemon, and random number generation. The effectiveness of her methods tend to vary wildly and mostly involve doing stuff that makes absolutely no sense to anyone. When they inexplicably end up working, no one really knows to make of it. Her team includes a Porygon-Z, two Chatot, and a Bad EGG. more fun facts about her beneath the cut...

Lives in Sinnoh

Unknown where she got her PhD from, or if she has one at all

Has a Porygon-Z because duh, and 2 Chatot because of Gen 4/5 RNG Chatter manipulation. All her Pokemon are Normal-type birds. BIRD/NORMAL. MISSINGNO JOKE

Her Bad EGG just showed up one day. She has no idea what it is or what to do with it, but she's afraid of angering it.

Tuckamore cracked the code of her reality's random number generation. The discovery that everything is predetermined and can be both predicted and influenced by seemingly nonsensical actions permanently altered her outlook on life, and she sought to use this knowledge for the greater good. Unfortunately, no one believes her, because flipping a coin on a Poketch app for an hour straight to somehow change the course of reality sounds completely stupid.

Has seen the Mystery Zone. Didn't come back the same.

Once rode a bicycle at record-breaking speeds in the middle of Jubilife City. There WERE injuries involved. For some reason, explaining to the authorities that she was "tweaking" did not help her case.

Refuses to return to Kanto—says she's afraid of "breaking reality"

Her Chatot try to sit on the Bad EGG to warm it up. She has to chase them away with a broom because god knows what would happen if that thing hatched.

Her Chatot's Chatter sounds exactly like when you blow into the broken microphone of an old DS. It's just this horrible screech.

#pokemon #porygon-z #my art #there's a lot you can do with the idea that glitches actually exist in the games they appear in #and tuckamore is the stupidest thing to do with that idea. so she's great #p.s. i wasn't trying to give her gaster eyes i swear to god. that just happened and i didn't realize it until i was done with the model #3D art
