This is a X-Over between Megaman X and Pokémon, also my first fanfiction here. I got this idea after replaying Megaman X series and some Pokémon games this week, so I gave the best of imagination to this story.
Also, forgive me if my vocabulary and grammar aren't that good. I'm not a native English speaker after all.
Chapter 1: X is found!
September 25th, 21XX
"Hey Lelou, are we there yet?" A girl with medium spiked red hair and blue eyes asked impatiently while she looked towards her companion. She wore a red and white hat, a red jacket over a white blouse, red skirt, white sneakers and her usual tiny white side bag.
"We must be, Liz. We have been walking in this forest for hours." A boy by her same age answered as they kept walking by the woods. He had short razor black hair and purple eyes. He wore black and white hat with a white Pokéball insignia, a black jacket over a white T-shirt, jeans, black and white gloves and sneakers and a black and gray side bag.
"Just admit it. We're lost!"
"No, we're not. I have everything under control!" The girl face palmed not convinced of his optimism.
"How can you easily forget the way we went to Rustboro City when we came here from our last time?"
"Hey, don't put the entire fault on me! It was you who didn't remember the path we took in the first place!"
Coming from Littleroot Town, the 14 year old boy Lelouch and the girl, same age as her friend, Kallen had started their journey not too long ago.
Both teens had grown up together there until their parents finally allowed them to carry on their dreams to be Pokémon Trainers. As any beginner trainer, they had to go to a Pokémon Researcher lab to choose their starter Pokémon. Once they had gone to Prof. Birch's lab, Daniels had chosen Treecko and Kallen kept with Mudkip. Now, each teen had captured 3 Pokémon for their respective teams, totalizing 4 Pokémon for each.
Lelouch liked to have his best bud Rogue, now a Grovyle, out of his Pokémon. It has been like since they met each other for the first time. Although he was a fearless warrior in battles, Rogue was friendly towards everyone, a feat that he got from his trainer. The same went for Kallen's Marshtomp Vina.
Now at the middle of Petalburg Forest, both teens were arguing whose fault was for getting them lost. They had just gotten their 5th badge from Petalburg Gym and had to return to the east side of Hoenn to proceed with their journey. However with their PokéNavs out of battery, they had no idea where they were going.
"We should stop this. Arguing won't get us anywhere." Lelouch said bluntly.
"You're right, sorry." Kallen said as she looked down apologizing.
When both trainers settled down, they noticed that their Pokémon were looking around like if they were looking for something.
"What's it, Rogue?" Lelouch asked concerned.
"You heard something, Vina?" Kallen asked. Her Marshtomp nodded confirming her suspicion.
"Let's check it out!" Lelouch said excitedly. They let the Pokémon take the lead and they followed suit.
Not far away...
Both teens and their Pokémon found the source of the earlier noise. They decided to hide in the bushes to not raise any suspicion. They saw a lot of tents scattered along the clearing they were in and from sound they heard earlier, it sounded to be a digging party. But what could they be digging?
"When we were back at Petalburg Poké Center, I heard that a scientist had found leads to an underground building here at Petalburg Forest." Kallen whispered to Lelouch.
"But what could they be searching for?" Lelouch asked in thought. However, his friend said nothing since she didn't know the answer as well.
Kallen turned to him. "Let's see what they are digging?" She asked. He smirked and nodded in approval.
They got out of the bushes and headed towards the center of the digging camp, with their Pokémon following closely behind. In their way, they stumble with one of the workers.
"Hey, who are you?" He asked a bit angry to have kids disturbing his work.
"Sorry to interrupt, but we got lost in this forest. Can we ask for directions?" Lelouch asked politely.
"Oh, in that case, sorry if I can't help you. You see, I'm new around these parts. But I think Dr. Cain might be able to help with that. He's at the center of the dig site, coordinating the teams."
"Thank you, sir." Kallen said.
As they wandered through the camp, they saw lots of Pokémon and robots working alongside the humans. That sight pleased Lelouch. Humans, Pokémon and Machines working together for a goal. However, Pokémon often ignored robots due to the fact that they were non-living creatures.
When they reached their destination, they saw an old man overlooking the operations around the camp. Obviously for his age, he had no hair, his eyebrows were white and he had long white beard. He wore a blue robe with some red lines on its edges and white shoes.
"Uh… Dr. Cain?" Lelouch asked bluntly.
"Hmm?" He turned to face the young kids. "Oh, who might you be?"
"I'm Lelouch and this is my partner Rogue." Lelouch introduced.
"Grovyle!"
"I'm Kallen and this is Vina." Kallen introduced.
"Marsh!"
As he first thought, both were trainers in journeys. "I'm Dr. Cain, the head of this digging operation. What brings you here, trainers?"
"Well, we got lost in this forest. Could you help us with some directions?" Lelouch asked.
"I see. Well,-" Dr. Cain started, but he was suddenly interrupted by one of the diggers that ran up to him.
"Dr. Cain!" He exclaimed as he got closer and stopped right in front of him.
"What is it?" Cain asked.
"We found… the entrance to the building,… sir." The digger said while panting. "The workers think you should have the honors to enter first."
"About time." The scientist turned to the trainers. "Say, don't you want to stay a bit longer and join me?"
"Why not? It's not every day that you witness a discovery." Lelouch said sheepishly. Dr. Cain laughed at the young boy.
"If he's going, I'm going too." Kallen remarked.
"Alright then, follow me." Dr. Cain motioned.
As they walked through the camp towards the supposed entrance, they kept talking.
"What's exactly you are searching, Dr. Cain?" Kallen asked curiously.
"Oh, there is a building buried here that dates back from about 20XX."
"The Era of Megaman, isn't it?" Lelouch added.
"Exactly, and we think that this building is related to the greatest inventor that humanity has ever produced, Dr. Thomas Light!" Dr. Cain exclaimed.
Everyone who knew few things of history knew about Megaman who protected the world from 200X to 20XX against the evil Dr. Wily. His creator, Dr. Thomas Light, had made many discoveries and advancements in robotics while he was alive.
"He might be a great inventor, but there were things he couldn't make possible." Kallen said. Both Cain and Lelouch knew what she had meant. So far, robots hadn't been able to successfully interact with a Pokémon as humans easily did. If humanity could create such robot, it'd open ways for more advancements.
However, all experiments had ended up in failure so far. It was more than obvious that Pokémon could tell the difference between living and non-living creatures.
"Well, here we are." Dr. Cain presented. In front of them, the team had dug meters of soil which ended at a metallic door.
The three walked down to the door and opened it. It led to a big round chamber with lots of electronics still active. At the center, there was a big capsule. When they got closer, they saw an inscription. It was the roman algorism 'X'.
Dr. Cain took a closer inspection on the capsule and cleaned the dust that had gathered around it after all these years. Behind its glass, there was something that looked almost human. It was a robot that bore tremendous resemblance to Megaman himself. His armor was multiple shades of blue and his helmet had a red crystal in it.
Dr. Cain wasted no time and pressed a few buttons to open the capsule. When he did, it opened slowly also releasing a white smoke. When it cleared, the robot began to move.
It opened its eyes and yawned. It looked around curiously and spotted three humans and two creatures behind them.
"Uh, hello?" It said calmly.
Dr. Cain, being excited and all, was the first one to introduce. "Hello, I'm Dr. Cain."
"I'm Kallen and this is Vina."
"Marsh!" Her Marshtomp said in an acknowledging tone which confused the three humans watching.
"Those are Pokémon, right?" The robot asked as it looked to the creatures behind the trainers.
"Yes." Dr. Cain answered.
Rogue, who was behind his trainer, moved to the blue robot and stopped in front of it. Both Pokémon and robot met each other's eyes and remained like that for a moment. Suddenly, Rogue lifted his right arm, stopping at the robot's waist.
Not knowing what to do, the robot asked. "What is he doing?"
Lelouch knew exactly what Rogue was doing. He was incredulous at the sight. "Shake his paw."
"Huh?" The robot looked up at Lelouch in a confused manner. Kallen too was wondering what Lelouch was up too.
"Go ahead and shake hands." Lelouch continued, trying to maintain a calm look.
The robot lifted his right arm and met with Rogue's paw. After that, they shook hands.
"That's how Rogue makes new friends. He kinda learned that from me." Lelouch explained sheepishly.
"Weird, I've never seen Rogue take a liking to robots so quickly before," whispered Kallen to Lelouch rather awkwardly.
"Rogue always ignores robots." Lelouch whispered back. The whole thing was so strange, why would a Pokémon take a liking to a robot? Unless this was more than an ordinary robot.
"Lelouch, didn't you forget something?" Dr. Cain asked, breaking the tension.
"Oh, right. I'm Lelouch and this is my partner Rogue." Lelouch motioned
Rogue smirked. "
"I'm Megaman X, X for short. Which time is this?"
Back at the camp…
Dr. Cain explained his findings to his crew and presented the robot X. They were surprised that their Pokémon took a fast liking to it, like Rogue and Vina did before. Dr. Cain invited the trainers and X to his tent to discuss a few things. However, X asked if he could take a walk around the camp. Dr. Cain didn't agree at first, but Lelouch and Kallen persuaded him to let X be for now. And so, without X, they continued to the tent.
Upon arrival, Dr. Cain blurted out. "That man doesn't stop to impress me."
"Well, it's Dr. Light we are talking about after all." Kallen smirked jokingly. She and Lelouch were no doubt impressed too, but you could expect many things coming from Dr. Light's inventions.
Dr. Cain turned on his mobile holographic TV. He often liked to watch the news channel. It was showing a report of man that saw two strange Pokémon flying above his house. According to the man's testimony, they resembled much of a jet plane and one was blue and the other was red. However, before he could identify them, they vanished in thin air like there was nothing there.
Lelouch searched on his PokéDex for a Pokémon that matched these features. "Oh, looks like those two are Latias and Latios. Both Legendary Pokémon, rare to see around these parts."
"I thought that Legendaries preferred to hide instead to be around that recklessly." Dr. Cain commented. He wasn't an expert on Pokémon matters, so he knew little about Legendary Pokémon.
"They do like to hide, but no one would stay hidden forever, right? They need some fresh air too." Lelouch smirked while explaining.
Somewhere around the camp…
X was walking around to satisfy his curiosity of the world he had woke up in. He was glad that peace reigned here so far. He could see that humans, Pokémon and robots worked together as if they were part of the same civilization.
Almost at the edge of the camp, he stopped knowing full well that he shouldn't make his finders worried about him getting lost in the forest. But when he was turn back, he heard some bushes near him rustling. He couldn't see what was making the noise, so he changed his optics to infra-red.
Now, he could see the shape of the hidden thing. It resembled much a jet plane, except for the long slender neck it had. Also, its temperature was below human standards, which made X conclude that it was a Pokémon. However, he was unable to determine which Pokémon he was seeing since he had little information about known Pokémon species.
Noticing that it had been discovered, the Pokémon backed away a few steps.
"Hey, wait!" X exclaimed. The Pokémon immediately stopped.
X slowly walked closer to the Pokémon, not wanting to alarm it. He leaned down until their faces' heights were matched. "Come here, I won't harm you." X said softly. The Pokémon did what he said and came out of the bushes. X changed to his normal optics again.
Now, he could clearly see the real features of the creature. It had triangle-shaped ears and a red face with a white pentagon in the middle. The upper-half of the body is white and the lower half was red with jet-plane wings and stubby feet. On its chest, there was a blue triangle-shaped ring on her chest.
X inched his hand to the creature's forehead. The creature didn't back away, just stared the being in front of it. He made contact with it and began to stroke its forehead. The creature then closed its eyes and began to coo contentedly. Somehow, it thought that the blue figure wasn't to be feared after all.
Noticing that the creature was enjoying the moment, X continued stroking its forehead, but also moving his hand to its long neck.
However, he didn't notice a worker that was looking for him. "Hey X, what are you-" He stopped mid-sentence when he spotted the creature in front of X. The worker was incredulous at the sight. "Oh goodness, I must tell this to Dr. Cain!" He ran back to the camp.
"Laa?" The creature looked at X and began to panic. X understood her reaction.
"Hey, don't worry. They won't harm you. They are my friends." X said softly. Upon listening those words, it calmed down a bit, but remained wary.
Back at Dr. Cain's tent…
"Dr. Cain! Dr. Cain!" A worker shouted from the outside. Dr. Cain, Lelouch and Kallen stepped outside to check the commotion.
"What is it?" Dr. Cain asked.
"It's X! You won't believe what he found!" The worker exclaimed and quickly motioned to follow him.
When they reached their destination, they saw X leaned down to some bushes, but no one else.
"X, where is it?" The worker almost shouted.
X turned to face them and placed one of his fingers at his mouth. "Sshh… You are going to startle it." X pointed to the bushes in front of it. Everyone nodded and slowly came closer. When they were at a good distance, X returned his attention to the bushes. "Come on out. I promise they won't hurt you." X said softly.
There was silence for a moment, but, soon, the bushes started rustling. Except for X and the worker, everyone's eyes widened when the figure showed itself. Lelouch and Kallen gaped in joy, because they never wondered they would have such honor. In front of them, the figure was a Latias.
So, what do you think of this? Good, bad? Something to improve? I'll be waiting for your reviews.
