Pika?
Disclaimer: I don't own any thing except the OC Josh
This is just a idea that I saw someone (survivor28) start and then not continue well I stole the idea to a degree, only there will be changes in my story such as characters and events, it would be nice if I could get a Beta reader to help with improve my writing. This is a slight crossover there will be another OC character that will be a Pokémon and maybe something else too.
I quickly stepped onto the subway car and found a seat before taking out my I-pod and began to watch some One Piece episodes as the doors slid closed and the subway started to move. My name is Josh Hopent, I am a eighteen year old High School senior getting ready to go off to college and live on my own, little did I know that I would be live away from my parents very soon.
I enjoy most anime's and early 2000's T.V. shows like Static Shock. I always liked the idea of wielding nature's most feared weapon; it was so beautiful yet so scary at the same time.
I was currently rewatching the One Piece episode where it shows Nami's past, it was one of my favorite episode because it finally explains her betrayal and makes her appear more human, up until that point all we saw of her was greedy and manipulative girl. Nami was my favorite character, though I never saw her as a love interest, I just liked the depth of her character.
One Piece was one of my favorite animes along with Bleach and Fairy Tale because they have hard battles that don't always turn out how you hoped, but the good guy's still win in the end. However there is one anime I can't stand and it is Pokémon I can't' take it, it's boring, they never have to struggle too much in order to win their fights. I mean seriously even Digimon has harder fights. I had seen Pokémon when I was younger, but I stopped when I got into One Piece and never looked back.
I looked up and around the subway car, I saw several men and women on their way home from their respective jobs, along with mother's out with their children and families. To my right was a ten year old kid, he had a Nintendo D.S. and was playing Pokémon Diamond, I watched him with utter disgust.
He was currently in a battle using a Pikachu against a Staraptor. When the Staraptor fainted I turned my attention back to my I-pod fully intending to shut out the kid next to me, when I noticed everyone was moving in slow motion.
I quickly looked around to see that everyone moving at a crawl, 'What's going on,' I thought to myself. I looked over at the kid to my right the screen had changed, instead of the battle screen it originally had it showed the Pikachu staring out of the screen and looking directly at me.
It wasn't moving slow like everything else, our eyes meet and a looked of disappointment crossed the Pikachu's face. I looked at it in disbelief before blinking and shaking my head "I must be seeing things," I tell myself turning my attention back to the slow moving people.
Just then I hear a small rumbling. I turned to the left towards the front end of the car to see a wall of fast moving, sky blue glowing energy wall. I begin to panic as I quickly try to get up and starting to run to the end of the car. I barely got five steps when I felt the sky blue mass crash into my back and cover me with it's warm embrace, I opened my eyes o find nothing the walls sky blue everywhere and that the ground was missing.
I floated there for a few minutes before I felt a immeasurable pain begin to crawl all over my body. I tried to keep myself from screaming, but it came out anyway as a throaty animalistic growl. It felt like an eternity as I floated their screaming, just before I succumbed to the darkness, I swore I saw the shape of a familiar rodent.
I opened my eyes and sat up, I began to blink the sleep from my eyes, 'What happened?' I thought as I raised my arm to rub my eyes. 'I remember the subway, the wall, the pain,' I shudder as I thought of that. 'But what did it do to me? Am I dead?' Once I had effectively cleared my eyes I opened them to see my arm, "Ah!" I cried out in surprise, But instead I heard a familiar "Pika," sound in a high pitched squeaky voice.
"What is wrong with me?" I screamed panic raising in my new voice, as I bolted up right, but again I heard "Pika pi pikachu." I quickly examined by body. My arms were short and covered in yellow fur, well my whole body was too, my hands had shortened to four small claws position properly so I could still grab things. The ground appeared to be closer suggesting that I had shrunk. I noticed my feet had became more like paws with three toes.
I started to put two and two together, but I reached up to check my ears...just in case. The sides of my head were bare, instead on the top of my head I pulled down into view two long, yellow think almost rabbit like ears with black tips. I feared to turn around I didn't want to turn around and see what I knew was there, but I did it anyway, I slowly twisted my back and head to see a lightning bolt shaped tail. I was a Pikachu. After seeing my tail...that's so weird to think about. I turned back and looked forward. "Now I'm just going to close my eyes and lie down and wake up in my bed...yeah," I said to myself, hopeful that I could wish away my situation as I lied down shutting my eyes. I counted to ten before opening my black orb shaped eyes and I see the same alleyway I was in when I woke up, with cobblestone streets and large 18th century wooden houses.
I pinched by cheek and accidently released some electricity shocking myself. "This isn't a dream..." I breathed as I started to hyperventilate. I fell on my side and hugged myself as best I could with my new body tears leaking from my eyes. This was awful. It wasn't fair. I was going to be finally get out of the house and live my life, but now I was a small creature, that can't even speak in a language that human's understand.
I don't know how long I laid there, softly sobbing before I sucked up my tears and managed to pull myself together. I sat up slowly wiping my eyes with my right paw, 'well, no use sitting here crying about it I just have to find away to turn back to normal. And I won't let anything get in my way, that's what Luffy or the Elric Brothers would tell me at least,' I thought trying to put as much fire behind my thought as possible.
I stood up on my hind legs 'well, if I'm going to survive with this body, I need to learn how to move,' I thought to myself, before taking my first step, felling the gritty ground under my padded paw. ' Come on, come on, I can do this,' I thought determined. I took my second step and before I knew it I was walking like a natural. It felt a little awkward at first but I adjusted quickly.
"Ok next is running,' I sighed nervously. This won't be like walking. If what I remember about Pikachu is correct, then I won't be able to run on two legs again. "Alright, drop to all fours," I reluctantly lowered my forelegs, only to find that the foreign position was somewhat comfortable.
"Ok, we'll start slow," I took my first step careful to move my right front paw along with the back left. Once I had mastered walking on all fours, I moved on to running, "Now actually to start running, OK move both front legs simultaneously," I took my first leap only to over shoot and land flat on my face.
I got up, discouraged slightly, I had master the other skills with ease. 'Man and I was doing so well too.' I took my first leap again getting the balance right this time and followed through with my hind legs, I took off running right out of the alley, 'I'm doing it!' I thought excitedly. "Alright let's see what this body can do," I said confidently as I started to pick up the pace running faster than I ever did as a human. 'Man,' I thought, ' everything should run on fours,' excitement bubbling out of me. Little did I know that I had learned my first move.
I kept running around enjoying the feeling of the wind passing through my yellow fur. I was running through the town dodging peoples feet and carts, not really caring where I was going I just kept going, enjoying the feeling it gave me. 'Maybe this won't be so bad,' I thought.
I kept going, until I ran into a different alleyway to find that it was a dead end and that there was a girl who appeared to be in her late teens, she had a huge white sack obscuring most of her head. She was cornered by three big men. 'This can't be good,' I thought as I observed the event playing out in front of me.
"Alright missy," said a large man who appeared to be the leader, I decided to name him Burly Idiot 1, "we got you cornered, now hand over what you stole, or we'll have to get a little rough with you." he said suggestively as Burly Idiot 1's companions, Burly Idiot 2 and Burly Idiot 3, laughed lecherously.
"Mmmm," she pretended to think, "You're not my type," she said tilting her head teasingly. "Alright boys we've got a lively one," he laughed and started to move towards her. This is when I decided to make my move, I started to run at Burly Idiot 3 as fast as I could before jumping and slamming into his back. He released a scream of pain and shock as he fell down before quickly moving protectively in front of the girl trying to look threatening as possible. I dropped into the same position I had seen Ash's Pikachu use many times, I raised my tail up and crouched my front half down and growled.
As I growled I suddenly felt heat leaving my cheeks. Immediately I stopped confused on what happened. The other two Burly Idiots and the Girl were looking at me confused, "Did that yellow mouse just spark?" Burly Idiot 2 asked. "I think so," Replied BI1. (A/N just for ease for me and you I going to shorten their names to BI#)
Then I figured it out. The heat was me releasing the electricity stored in the red pouches on my cheeks. I immediately forced myself to spark again, by now BI3 was up again and BI1 was looking at me with interest, "Let's capture the thing, we could sell it for a lot of Beli, you," he pointed to BI3 make sure the girl doesn't run," he nodded before moving towards the girl.
"No you don't," I said squeakily as I tried to move to intercept him. I was about to move in front of BI3 when I saw a shadow fall over me, I turned and saw BI1 and 2 towering over me reaching down trying to grab me. I quickly ran in between BI1's Hands, but BI2 was there.
By the time I saw him he already had his hands on me and picking me up, I have to say that was a...humbling experience being man handled. I didn't like it, I didn't like it one bit, and we all know what happens to people who touch a Pikachu without permission, that's right, as if by instinct I released a lot of electricity into BI2 until he was on the ground convulsing. I wiggled out of his hands and turned to look at my work, 'Wow did I do that?' I thought looking at him.
He had obvious 3rd degree burns on his hands and was unconscious from the high amounts of electricity I put into him. 'Alright, I can use electrical attacks, now all I need to do is figure out how to shoot them.' I turned and looked at BI1 who was looking at me with even more interest as well as a wary look, "Forget selling you I'm keeping you for myself," he declared.
I shut my eyes and tried to conjure up the feeling I had when I unleashed my lightning into BI2. I heard the heavy set man stomping his thunderous feet my way, I quickly moved out of the way and began to concentrating on my lightning, I envisioned it coming out and pinched my pouches and felt all of my hairs stand up on end as I felt the drain of electricity leaving me when I had stopped I looked to see that I had missed, BI1 had backed away quickly as I released my thunder attack.
"Alright, I got to fire the lighting with my eyes open now," BI1 lunged at me now, but I deftly ran under him and immediately turned around an repeated the same sequence I just did only with my eyes open. I felt the electricity coursing out of me as I condensed it into a stream and launched it at the huge man. "Auahhhhh," he screamed as the amps traveled through him into the ground, before falling to the ground with burns all over his body.
I looked over at the girl, she was still holding her sack in one hand and holding a Bo staff in the other with an unconscious BI3 in front of her looking at me with amazement in her chocolate eyes. I gave her the biggest grin I could muster with my new face before promptly passing out.
Alright (man I say that a lot) bet you can't guess who the girl is. :) Please read and review and if anyone is interested in beta reading for me please contact me, this story is a practice story so I can improve my writing ability to the point I feel comfortable with writing a huge story I have mostly planed. Flames and constructive criticism is welcomed you are all entitle to your own opinions. Until next time ( and I don't know when that will be, depends on if I get a beta reader or not.)
