Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon, if I did, Black and White 2 would have been out a lot sooner.

My first story, please R&R, if you don't review, thats ok as long as you read it and (hopefully) enjoy it.

Rule of Thumb for reviews:

Positive reviews = Great!

Constructive Critics = OK

Flames = you're going to be seeing a lot more of those where you're headed, jerk.

Unexpected Consequences

Chapter 1: Enter Luke

"Luke!"

The 12-year-old looked away from punching his little brother Leo for a second and immediately regretted it. That little 8-year-old might not look like much, but when he hit you, you can feel it. A lot.

"Yeah Mom?"

"Stop hitting Leo or I'll drive back to the hotel right now and neither of you will get your new games!"

Luke quickly stopped hitting his little brother and stared out the window instead. They are only in New York for one more day and there is no way he was going to miss his chance again. Some things were even more important than payback, even if the little jerk had cheated earlier by using a LV 100 Arceus when they had both agreed not to use legendaries. "Besides" he thought to himself as he watched the buildings race by, "She didn't say anything about later..."

Luke was an average 12-year-old with short brown hair and brown eyes, which his little brother Leo (Whose full name was Leopold) will probably never stop teasing him about from the time he slipped in the mud and, as Leo put it, 'Blended in perfectly' even after he'd wiped the mud out of his face. He was also around a head taller than Leo, who was the most annoying little brother in existence. Leo teased him about everything. His hair and eyes, his actual name which was Lycaon, (Come on, who names their kids Lycaon and Leopold?), even the fact that he liked Pokemon, which his "mature" little brother said he should have grown out of by now.

Leo had dirty-blonde hair, green eyes, and was able to both annoy and pulverize kids up to twice his age. (He had, on one memorable occasion, knocked out a 16-year-old who tried to steal his bag and throw it in the gutter. The teenager later left the school because he was getting so much abuse about letting an 8-year-old KO him.) He was also able to beat Luke in Pokemon any time they played, but only because he cheated by using things like the LV 100 Arceus and cheats from his Action Replay cheat card.

"Luke!"

Luke woke up with a start, having not even realized that he had fallen asleep, and looked out at the shop looming above him as he got out of the car. Although maybe 'shop' wasn't the right word. Calling the building before them a 'shop' would be like calling the Titanic a 'boat'. It was technically true, but it just didn't get across the sheer size of the place.

'My whole house back home could fit into this one room' thought Luke as he walked inside. There was quite literally every toy he could think of arrayed before him, from Power Rangers to Transformers, from Lego to Meccano, and many more besides. And that was just the first floor. He and Leo exchanged awed glances. Then, as if by some telepathic signal, they both dashed as fast as they could up the stairs to the video games section, where the eagerly anticipated Pokemon Black and White awaited them.

They both knew that whoever got there first would get to decide which of them got which game, since their mom would never let them get 2 of the same game in a million years. Luck didn't seem to be with Luke, for as soon as he reached the DS section, he tripped on the loose corner of a tile and went flying. Leo either didn't notice or didn't care,(Probably the latter) since he was still sprinting just as fast towards the shelf with Black & White on it.

'No…' thought Luke as his little brother reached the shelf, and triumphantly returned holding his copy of Pokemon White close to his chest, as if it might suddenly jump away from him. He got to his feet dejectedly as Leo waved the game at him.

"Ha ha, I got there faster than you!" teased Leo, while Luke was desperately scouring the shelves for a copy of Pokemon Black. "Come on, Come on, there has to be one somewhere!" Said Luke to himself as his panic mounted. "There just has to be..."

His sentence trailed off as he reached the end of the DS section. He stared blankly for a while. Then, with the slow, shuffling walk of people about to be executed, he made his way to the checkout. "Can I help you?" asked the ever-cheery cashier. "Not unless you have a copy of Pokemon Black thats not on the shelves." Luke said dejectedly. He was not expecting the answer he received in reply. The cashier looked around, leaned in close, and whispered, "As a matter of fact, there is one, but I should warn you, it might not work. When it was being made, the factory got hit by lightning. This is the only game left of the affected batch. We aren't supposed to sell them without warning people about it first to stop people trying to sue us for faulty goods, so it comes at half price. Do you still want it?"

Luke had stopped listening after she had said that there was one left. By this point, he probably would have bought one if it had come with a lit stick of dynamite attached. He nodded dumbly with a grin spreading across his face. He wouldn't have to go home without one after all!

Later, back at the hotel, Luke was just starting his game. Leo's jaw had hit the floor when he saw that Luke had gotten a half-price copy, and had then tried to give him spoilers about it, because he had brought his DSi with him, (Luke's had been back at the hotel, charging) but Luke had just ignored him by listening to "Through the Fire and Flames" by DragonForce at full volume on his iPod. Now, finally, he was able to play it. He was about to watch the opening sequence but his DSi slipped and when he picked it back up, he accidentally pressed the A button, skipping the rest of the opening.

'Damn' Thought Luke, as a massive white dragon with blue eyes, claws on its wings and a conical tail that appeared to be on fire. 'That's gotta be Reshiram.' He thought as he watched the screen rotate around it. He pressed the A button, and it zoomed in on Reshirams head and played a truly awesome roar that could only be Reshiram's. He pressed 'New Game' and was about to see who the 5th gen professor was, but his mom was calling him for dinner. "Damn. I'll just have to wait." He graned inwardly as he put his DSi away. "And endure another hour and a half of Leo trying to give me spoilers..."

When he walking towards his room door, he failed to notice that his DSi was glowing a dark purple as he closed the door, or the fact that it seems to be pulsing...

2 hours later, and he had somehow managed to avoid all spoilers by a quick lie that since they were different versions, there could easily be different storylines, which only shut Leo up because he didn't want to do it if it wouldn't spoil the game for Luke.

He finally got back to his room, jumped on his bed, and opened the DSi again. Immediately he noticed a slight difference. The graphics, which before had been so pixelated as to be unrecognizable, were now so sharp they looked a lot like the kind of graphics the show had. As Professor Juniper walked him through the basic concepts of Pokemon, he found himself scrutinizing the screen for any sign that it was pixelated at all and not somehow all solid areas of color. He couldn't find any, but as soon as he saw the characters, he stopped caring and realized why Leo had gaped at the screen earlier in the car.

The male character looked exactly like him, just dressed differently. Where Luke was wearing a black Dragonforce T-shirt, denim jeans, and black/orange trainers, the character (Hilbert) was wearing a blue zip-up jacket with a darker blue collar over a black-and-white shirt, a black-and-blue bag with the one strap over his opposite shoulder, black jeans tucked into his red-and-black shoes, and a red-and-white hat with a black pokeball design and brim. A massive improvement over Lucas, the Diamond/Pearl/Platinum male character, whose stupid hat had actually made Leo choose the female character (Dawn) for that game. He clicked on it, and put in his name, then confirmed it. Luke started to notice a weird feeling in the back of his head as the professor gave a final monologue, and with the words 'It's time to leap into the world of Pokemon', he blacked out.

AN: Their names are based on Lycaon(Ancient Greek king of wolves) and Leopold(Ancient Mythological Prince of Lions).

No wonder they don't get along.
