Stammer turned to face his team and said,"Since she's the expert on this, I'm giving your attention to Danika." Everyone looked to me, and I started. "In this team we have all 18 types of Pokemon. That is what we need, and in a circle." The team circled up, with their Pokemon in front of them. A few had to get them out of Pokeballs, and some just hopped off of shoulders or just followed. I let Strike climb onto my shoulder as I dropped a Pokeball, and Lilly, my Sylveon emerged. I had to use her since nobody on the team had a Fairy type Pokemon.

I got Lilly as a gift from a parents a little bit before I caught Strike. And since I was a young girl that was obsessed with fairies, princesses, and stuff like that, she was my everything. Once I caught Strike, I started to battle with him primarily, but I still battled with Lilly. Occasionally I switch between Lilly and Strike as the one being out all of the time, but it usually isn't very long. Ever since I caught Strike, he hated being in his Pokeball. Once he was strong enough, he broke out numerous times.

Eighteen players were in the circle, all representing the types of Pokemon.

"Now, use a projectile attack to the center of the circle on my word. And hold it out for ten seconds." I stated,"One, two, three, go!"

All at once, everyone shouted out attacks, including myself saying,"Lilly, use Fairy Wind!" She did what she was told, and she held the attack for ten seconds. After that, the small device the size of a baseball, lowered itself down and onto the ground. Everyone looked at it in silence, as I walked forward to pick it up. It had an inner part, and parts that lined the sides and crossed in an x in the centers.

"That's it?" Vladdy asked in confusion. I turned to face him and said,"Yep. That's all it is." Vladdy still looked confused. I sighed as Steven spoke up. "This thing's gonna have to take us back in time, so yes, that is it."

Probably still confused, Vladdy nodded again.

"If any of you have changed your mind about time travel, walk forward." Stammer said in a monotone voice. He walked to the center, along with Pally. It took a moment, then Fillpula, Boyle, Hedman, and Sustr walked forward.

Fillpula has an Absol, (named Valsol) that can mega evolve. It has an exceptionally strong bond with Val, since of their length together. He picked that Pokemon out when he joined the league with the Red Wings in 2005. His Absol is quite powerful.

Boyle has a powerful Garchomp, (named Boylchomp) that he got when he entered the league in 2007 with the Kings. Since then, he has trained him lots, and he has become incredibly powerful.

Hedman has a Zapados, named Victory. The Pokemon was selected on his 2009 debut with the Lightning against the Atlanta Thrashers (now known as the Winnipeg Jets).

Sustr has a Lucario, (named Suscario) which he has had since 2013. Since then, he has taken on a mega form, and will be a good asset to have for this 'battle'.

Their Pokemon followed behind. Another few silent moments past, then Stammer broke the silence. "We are facing the whole Montreal team. If we only have seven people, seems like we'd be just a little bit outnumbered. Is there anyone else going?"

Another silence, and no one moved. Then Killorn walked forward. His Seviper was perched on his shoulder.

Alex had selected his Seviper (named Seviller) in his 2013 debut against the Rangers. Seviper is a powerful Pokemon, after having three years of training.

"So that's all I presume?" Steven asked. The guys dipped their heads. "I guess so." He finished.

"I'd recommend maybe training your Pokemon a bit before this. We are facing the whole team in Montreal after all." I added,"I'll be in the training facility here, if anyone needs me."

Another silence. "You all may go. Time travers stay." Stammer said. The guys dispersed and drove away. He sighed and said,"I'd also recommend training. I'll be in the facility along with Danika."

The guys followed as we walked through to the facility. It was located in the back of Amalie. I was stopped as one of the other equipment people stopped me. "Vinik wants to see you in his office." I sighed and went in his direction. What could he want? I thought as I strolled through the empty hallways.

I knocked on his door and he said,"Come in."

"You needed me?" I asked somewhat nervously.

Vinik sighed and said,"Yes, but I'm just gonna get right to the point. What the hell were you doing in the parking lot?"

That statement sure took the breath out of me. He has a window in his office, but it didn't face the parking lot, so he couldn't see much. I glanced at the floor and back up again and said,"It's quite a story, and a long one."

"Alright, go ahead." Vinik replied.

I started to tell the story up until today's events. He followed along seemingly well, and once I was done he said,"So that's why the security workers are in the hospital. And what happened to the walls there, I'm sure that wasn't Gallagher.."

"That was Kucherov, a pre game battle sent his Vaporeon into that wall." I muttered. Telling this whole story made me realize the mess it was making.

With another sigh, Vinik said,"You've got my approval to go on with it. But- how would the guys get back in time for the game tomorrow?" His Keldeo looked up as if questioning me too.

"The timing works like Narnia, we could be gone weeks, and not a second has past here." I replied. He nodded in response. "Also, if it's possible, could this whole plan be kept somewhat secret?" I asked.

"Well, its kind of hard when you're making a damn time machine in the parking lot, but I'll try my hardest. But Steve and Cooper know. That's it." Jeff replied with a sigh. "Thanks for letting me know. You can leave now."

"Keldeo!" His Pokémon said in agreement.

I nodded and walked out. I made the long journey down to the training facility, which in my convenience, was located at the other end of the building.

I walked in to see all of the guys battling. Valsol was in his mega form, along with Suscario. That opened a little hole in my heart, since Strike couldn't evolve, and won't get the chance to be mega. Even though electrikes have slow evolution rates, his was exceptionally slow. Getting suspicious, I figured out that he was one of the few Pokémon who couldn't evolve. It's a rare thing that prevents them from evolving.

I snapped out of that, and jumped into a battle with Stammer and Victor.
