Title: Jump City Pokemon
Part 1: Never More Serious
Description: Everything had once been normal, but after a huge portal opens above Jump City as well as other places, Pokemon somehow are entered into the DC universe. Sounds great right? Well... sorta. After the wrong people learn to control Pokemon, the world is thrown into chaos, and it's every man for himself. As the Teen Titans struggle to retain order and stay together, they too find themselves quickly getting attached to their own caught Pokemon. But will they decide to return the Pokemon back to their own dimension, or is there a way to keep them there without completely destroying the natural order?
In which Robin stays eerily calm while everything goes wonky, Starfire makes friends with every scary Pokemon imaginable, Beast Boy is still grieving over Terra's recent death, Cyborg finds himself liking cute Pokemon, and a Teddyursa refuses to leave Raven alone.

"Hey, Beast Boy."
Beast Boy glanced up, watching as Robin joined him on top of Titans Tower, his uniform gone and replaced with civilian clothes, sun glasses covering his eyes. The only reason Beast Boy noted this was because, well, Robin never wore civilian clothes around his team, it being considered legend if he even had eyes. It had been exactly four hours since Terra died, sacrificing herself to save Jump City and everyone in it; Beast Boy had been on the roof for most of that time. However, his team had all tried to comfort the green changeling, only ending when Beast Boy continuously ignored them. Well, Robin was pretty stubborn too; they'd see who would win out in the end. A broken heart, or a tortured one?
"Hey, Robin." Beast Boy responded, scooting over a bit to let Robin seat himself beside the younger boy. "What's with the clothes?"
"Well, it's sort of illegal to streak in California, BB." Robin joked back, smiling comically before shrugging, rubbing his covered arm self-consciously. "I was... just getting ready to go into town, for some proper alone time."
"Have fun." Beast Boy said, turning back to stare at the sea.
Robin sighed a bit, patting Beast Boy on the shoulder. "As your leader, I am hereby ordering you to come into Jump City with me and have fun. If you don't... you're off the team." He was grinning ear to ear, like a clever little tabby cat.
Beast Boy rolled his eyes. "Are you serious, man?"
"I have never been more serious in my entire life. Now come on, it'll just be me and you; two boys playing at the arcade and doing dumb crap all night long." Robin explained, hopping up to stand above the changeling.
Beast Boy chuckled. "Dude, you like video games?" He asked, standing up to be just a tad shorter than his leader, but barely; he was getting alot taller as of late. "I didn't think it was physically possible."
Robin glared at Beast Boy, before it faded away, replaced again with a boy Beast Boy hadn't ever met before. "Whatever, you need a friend right now more than ever, not a melodramatic leader. Also, the only that isn't physically possible is beating a man to death with his own skull."
"Pff, melodramatic." Beast Boy said, chuckling still at the older boy; apparently, he had ignored the whole 'physically possible' thing. "Fine, I'll go. But hey, if I go... are we using real names or what?"
Robin seemed to really think about, carefully considering whether or not he fully trusted Beast Boy with his secret identity. "Um... after tonight, I... I'm just not ready for that, BB. I'm sure you understand; tonight seriously broke alot of trust in me, and to think there was anything left to break... forget it, just call me Robbie or Robert if you really need another name tonight."
Beast Boy nodded, smiling at his leader. "Well, I'm okay with telling my ID to you, man. Don't feel bad about it though; it's Garfield, but I prefer Gar much more."
"Nice name, better than mine." Robin responded, leading the way to the stairs. "Come on; I heard they set up a new Pokemon Stadium at the Game Globe; opens up tonight."
"Awe, dude, that's awesome!" Beast Boy exclaimed, running for the stairs. "I love Pokemon so much; I've been playing since I was four or five!"
Robin nodded in agreement. "Yeah, I love it too. Come on, I'll race ya'h!" He dashed ahead, giggling wildly.
"Hey!" Beast Boy yelled, changing into a cheetah as he ran to catch up. "Wait up, dude!"
The city was... okay, how can anyone really describe it as being anything other than chaotic and basically Kanto in a nutshell. Ponyta charged through streets, Pikachu stole any groceries in sight, Mareep shocked anyone nearby; Beast Boy and Robin could only stand there, completely confused in civilian clothing. Robin stared at a Pikachu as it ran by, happy to be wearing gloves, and snatched it up, able to tolerate it's pitiful shocks (It was a tiny Pikachu) and rubbed it's head, making it squeak happily and curl against the teenager.
"Beast Boy?" Robin asked, looking to Beast Boy with a very serious expression on his pale, never-seeing-sunlight face.
"Yeah, man?" Beast Boy asked in return, staring at Robin as if he had grown a second head (And not a pretty one).
"I think that either A; my theory about us all actually being children in a mental hospital is true, B; we're both losing our minds, or C; Pokemon have somehow come to our world and are taking over the city in unorganized chaos." Robin said very, very calmly, looking almost scared by his own theories. "But, to be honest... I'm not as terrified as one might think; this Pikachu is fucking adorable."
Beast Boy squinted at Robin, as if taking him in for the first time ever. "Pokemon are invading Jump City at an explosive rate, and you're only concern is that the Pikachu in your hands is cute!?" He could no longer take his leader seriously at this point. "I think if either of us have lost it, it's you."
"Shut up." Robin ordered, capturing the Pikachu in a Pokeball. "Help me call the Titans over and help the civilians to safety."
Before Robin could take off, Beast Boy snagged his arm, eyes wide as he stared at Robin. "... Where did you even find a Pokeball?" He asked.
Robin shrugged, tossing said Pokeball to himself as he faced Beast Boy, amazingly relaxed. "Well, I found it on the ground on the way here; figured it was a really cool replica and thought I'd either turn it into the police station or keep it; I was literally only guessing it would work." He explained, waltzing away happily. "I think I'll call her Amelia."
It took about ten seconds for Beast Boy to register what Robin had said, his mind still rampant with the city's status. "Wait, how'd you know it was a girl!?" He asked, running after Robin at a breakneck speed.
It would be a long day.
"Man, are you serious?" Cyborg asked, giving Beast Boy a questioning look through the communicator, trying to make out whatever the heck was happening on Beast Boy's end.
"I have never been more serious in my life, Cy; now get over here, Pokemon are everywhere, people are getting hurt, and Robin is making besties with a Pikachu!" Beast Boy yelled, earning a 'shush' from Robin, who was comforting an electrocuted girl; she had only wanted to pet a baby Mareep, but it sparked at her in surprise. "Oh, sorry, Rob is helping some kid over here; I gotta keep it down."
"Alright, I get that, but nothing else makes sense; what happened, man?" Cyborg asked, growing more and more concerned. "Just after you left, a flock of freaking Pidgey got in somehow; we were all so shocked, I nearly fainted! Also, Starfire made friends with a Dragonite."
"Yeah, okay- wait, go back, a Dragonite?" Beast Boy asked, the name rippling off his tongue with hesitation. "Are you serious?"
Cyborg shrugged, turning the communicator so Beast Boy could see; indeed, a large Dragonite sat in the living room, attempting to make a flower crown with Starfire. "They're making everybody flower crowns, by the way, Starfire asked me to ask you what kinda flowers you want in yours."
"Daisy- wait, fuck that, I don't want a flower crown, Cyborg!" Beast Boy explained; his patience was low, mostly from Terra dying, Robin's usual strangeness, and the difficult situation at hand. "Just get over here!"
"Fine, fine; don't get your panties in a knot, little dude." Cyborg said, putting up his hands in surrender. "We'll be there in five... and, BB?"
"Yeah, man?" Beast Boy inquired.
Cyborg grinned, holding up a flower crown covered in daisy's, poppy's, and dandelions. "Star made yours for you; knew you'd love it."
"Thanks." Beast Boy said dryly, ending the communicator's conversation quickly. He turned to Robin, gaze serious. "Dude, we're doomed."
"No, we're not." Robin grit out, signaling for Beast Boy to not act so negatively in front of the little girl, who he was rocking to calm down. "In fact, everything will be just fine, right?" His glare was dark, threatening... as if Beast Boy had a choice at this point.
"Yep," Beast Boy said, complying to Robin's invisible order. "Everything's peachy."
Robin nodded, his glare dissipating, replaced by a huge grin as he set the girl down, showing her his Pokeball. "Wanna meet my friend?" He asked, hoping that it would comfort the child. "She won't hurt you." He promised.
The girl nodded, gasping as he sent out Amelia. "A Pikachu!" She said, giggling as she got to hold Amelia, petting her softly and carefully.
It was one of those you couldn't help but smile at; even Beast Boy did, watching as Robin grinned too.
After a little while, Beast Boy and Robin managed to find the girl's mother, allowing them more time to think and ready their weapons without having to censer themselves around a small child. They both stood on top of Jump City's Wayne Industries tower, staring at the chaos carefully, unknowing of how to solve the problems at hand. Beast Boy sat with his feet dangling on the edge, while Robin stood like a superhero, with Amelia on his shoulder, licking his cheek and making it very hard to keep a straight face.
Out of nowhere, Starfire, Raven, and Cyborg met up with them; Raven levitated in, with a Teddiursa balanced on her hip with her arm wrapped around it; Starfire flew in, with her Dragonite flying beside her, humming some kind of song; and Cyborg drove over, climbed the stairs, and didn't have a single Pokemon with him. They all exchanged worried looks, no one talking for some time; a woman nearby screamed, Raven blinked in response. Finally, Robin sighed, scratching Amelia's chin in deep thought.
"We need to get everyone out of here." He deadpanned, staring at his feet awkwardly. "Batman isn't answering my calls; Hell, I got desperate enough to call Slade," No one gasped, to his surprise; they all expected him to have Slade's number by now for emergencies. "He won't pick up either; I think this isn't just in Jump... it's all over the world. Now, I don't know how we're going to fix everything, but we've gotta be strategic and careful; one false move and Pokemon might start killing people." He explained.
Raven nodded, placing the Teddiursa on the ground; it gripped her cloak like a baby and sucked on it's other paw, an amazed look on it's young face. "From what I've seen so far, the Pokemon are scared of us; they're confused and way out of their element. It also seems that Pokeballs are everywhere, meaning people are already catching Pokemon as we speak. Now, we should focus on getting into contact with other cities and getting barriers between the people and the Pokemon."
Robin, agreeing, motioned for everyone's attention. "I agree with Raven; we need to keep everyone safe from these guys, even if they don't mean any harm from what we've seen. Raven, I'm putting you in charge of barriers; you make sure those Pokemon can't get to anyone. Cyborg, get those abandoned cars and trucks working down there; some kinda EMP went off and shut everything down, and we need rescue vehicles ready. Starfire, start evacuating buildings and leading groups of people away from the large city areas as fast and as organized as you can. Beast Boy, start changing into animals and chatting up Pokemon; see if you can communicate with them." He turned around, starting to run off.
"Wait!" Beast Boy yelled, waving at Robin. "Where are you going?"
"Gotham." Robin stated, clicking a small remote he had with him to call his motorcycle over. "If anyone knows what's going on, it'll be either Batman or Slade; since I can't find either of them, I'm going home and finding someone who can."
"And who would that be?" Cyborg asked, tilting his head curiously.
Robin grinned, returning Amelia to her Pokeball as his motorcycle parked next to him, ready to go. "Oracle; now, I'll be back in a few hours, maybe a few days if things are worse in Gotham. Call me if anything comes up, and guys-"
"Yeah?" Beast Boy asked, looking at Robin fearfully.
"Be careful; also, don't die." Robin ordered, leaving the city to his team.
He trusted them, therefore, he had no doubts that they would be fine.
They could do this, they just needed time...
End of Part 1
Part 2: "Jumping Boats": Slade isn't happy when a bunch of weird animals end up on his doorstep, fortunately, neither is his old buddy; Batman. When Slade rolls into Gotham, he and Batman join forces as they attempt to find out what's happening. In the meantime, Robin ends up in Gotham, desperately trying to find Batman as he struggles to stay cool under the pressure. Will a lovable Woobat drive Bats up the wall? Will a strangely loyal Houndoom make itself attached to Slade? Will a mysterious shiny Victini stalk Robin anonymously through the city?
A/N: Hope this will suffice for now, CrimsonKaiserDragon. I know I said it would be a One-Shot; but, as usual, I got carried away and wanted to do WAY more with the story. It should only be in a few parts, and updates will be... well, as good as I can get them, but I'll try to Beta this and make it one of my best works for you all! Please R&R!
