I've had this idea for a while. It all started with me and one of my friends talking, we started about game related things, then talking about the newest pokemon ds game, after we suddenly jumped to x-overs (Random isn't it?) and for whatever reason we ended up with: "Dude, wouldn't it be weird to write about a xover about Halo / Pokémon?"
So here we are...
ANYWAY! I'm working on both this and my other project BUT I came up with an idea, a Teaser (Well it was my friends idea but he can sue me for all I care.)
This is it. Enjoy
"Ahh… just the way I like it"
"…Bitter…"
Midday, in the living room.
Two people sat on a couch one in front of the other, both of them sipping their respective cups.
One of them wore a lab-coat, as he calmly sat, peacefully enjoying the simple pleasures of his daily life. He had lived through many different events, and although this conversation was strange or even astounding it was still within the margin of possibilities that could occur in this world. That and as a scientist he was already used to expect the unexpected.
The other one was a man with a huge constitution, wearing a dark t-shirt with 4 letters written on it and having part of his left arm bandaged. This guy on the other hand wasn't having such a good time, as you could clearly see in his face, his mind racing about many different things.
There was a relative silence for a few minutes as you could feel the one-sided tension.
"Sorry… Professor, Was it? But I'd like to go over this one more time…" the injured man voiced placing his cup on the table. He didn't know why but he was taking this much better than he would have expected, probably because it hadn't truly sunk in yet.
"Of course, I'm pretty sure this must be quite a shocking experience." The other man replied nonchalantly, taking another sip from his cup.
"Let's go over it one more time from the beginning. Until today, you have never heard about the United Nations Space Command, correct?"
"Yes, I have never heard of an organization named as such."
"You also said that you don't have the technology to achieve spaceflight, leaving out any question of having a ship with Slipspace capacity for faster than light travel, ending with me having almost no hope of returning to UNSC controlled space, right?"
"Yes, I'm afraid it does." The older man simply replied for the second time today. He was still curious about what 'Slipspace' was but he also figured it wouldn't be a good time to ask about it right now.
The soldier simply grabbed his cup and drank half of its contents in one go, visibly a little anxious. Forcing himself to calm down.
"Ok, that helped." He took a deep breath "Since I'm essentially stuck here, I'd like to ask a few things about this world." The soldier immediately added.
"Go right ahead, I'll answer as many questions as I can." The professor nodded, smiling as they had finally gotten past the first part.
"First I'd like to confirm my current location, I was told that this place was called Pallet Town, inside the 'region' of 'Kanto'? How many regions are there?"
The professor chuckled "Yes, we're in Pallet Town which is part of the Kanto region. And as for the second question, our world is divided in many different regions being: Kanto, Johto, The Orange Islands, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova… Just to name a few. I won't go into the specifics today, seeing that you've already got enough to chew on your plate."
The soldier nodded, thankful for the Professor's understanding. Although he still had one more question to ask.
"I know this might seem odd, but is this world filled with these…" He started motioning to the different creatures that were doing their own things in the room, starting with the group of smaller one that were near the professor, and ending with the one that was peacefully resting next to his spot " 'creatures'?"
The professor started to laugh lightly, he picked up some sort of treats on the table and then lowered his open hand near the floor, prompting the small creatures to get close, which they did. "Yes, we call them 'Pokémon' and they are also the inhabitants of this world. I've spent my whole life studying Pokémon and there's still thousands of thing that we don't know about them. There are hundreds of different species out there and not a day goes by in which I don't learn something new. You'll see them as partners with their trainers, as they both fight in battle to prove who is the strongest, as friends who you live with, or loyal companions which travel beside you in your journey towards the unknown… Pokémon are many different things in this world, they come in many sizes, have many different abilities and I know that it will be impossible for me to discover all of their mysteries, even if I live on for hundreds of years." He passionately added as he gave treats or petted the small creatures, with a bright smile on his face.
A small mouse looking Pokémon lost interest in the professor as it jumped on the table, looking curiously at the soldier.
"Pi-chu?" it said, tilting its head in an adorable way.
The soldier shook its head "What and obnoxious world…" he voiced as he leaned forward, stretching his right hand.
The professor chuckled "It's almost as if someone-
(A/N: Oi! Oi! Hold on a second
W-B: Professor, this isn't what we talked about.
P.O: Well I thought it would seem better this way; giving the story a bit of 4th wall breaking, wouldn't it?
W-B: … Please, just stick to the script would you?
P.O: Well the thing is, I'm the guest here. It's not like you own me or anything in the Pokémon Universe or even in Halo for that matter. Which means you can't force me to do it.
W-B: Srly?! You bring out the legal issues? What the ff-
End A/N)
"- or something is messing with you isn't it?" the professor added in a low voice.
"Still… I've got to admit…" he added as he attempted to scratch the small mouse pokemon under its chin "…some of these guys are quite cute."
"Chaaaa-" cooed the pleased pokemon, closing its eyes from the pleasure. A little smile edged on the soldiers face.
That's the end of the teaser, I basically worked on this and my other project when I THANKFULLY got some spare time from college.
I'm already writing about the story settings in one of my draft docs...
I'm also open to external comments here, tell me what you think, review, comment, suggest or PM if you want.
Thx for stopping to read this^^.
