Chapter One:
Serena, as usual, was late to another meeting at the temple. She ran up the ancient stone steps and practically crashed through the door as she made her way into the room they held their meetings in. "Hey guys, sorr-" She was cut off as her foot snagged on a cushion laying on the floor. She hit the ground with a yelp and started her usual round of bawling.
"Geez, shut up Meatball Head!" Raye snapped at her. Serena stopped her crying instantly and glared at the other girl. She then stuck her tongue out. Raye retorted in the same fashion and the rest of the group huddled in the room watched as the brief battle carried on. After a moment, they seemed to grow bored and dropped it.
"Okay, now as you saying before you were so rudely interrupted, Luna, we have discovered a dimension cross?" Mina asked as things calmed down.
The black cat that sat in the middle of the group nodded her head. "That is correct Mina," She spoke. "Our dimension has crossed with one that is called Pokeworld. There are numerous villains from this land who wish to take advantage of their inhabitants of Earth. They have learned that draining our energy adds to their power. The one that stands to benefit the most from this the most is a genetically engineered creature named Mewtwo. The recent odd attacks we have experienced were done under his command executed by his two underlings, Jessie and James of Team Rocket. Team Rocket is known for stealing and hurting Pokemon of their world."
"But what are Pokemon?" Amy asked baffled.
"Pokemon are powerful creatures that coexist alongside humans in Pokeworld," Luna explained. "Some are trained to be used in competitions, others are hunted and mistreated."
"The poor things," Serena sighed.
"The point is though, that we must defeat this new evil that has come upon Earth," She looked around the group. "Two people, their names are Misty and Brock, have crossed and disguised themselves to blend into typical Tokyo society. This is to be your help if needed. And you have also been given new powers to help defeat Mewtwo. The powers of our universe will not work on him. You need the powers of the Pokeworld to help you in your fight."
"Cool," Said the brunette, Lita. "So what does that mean?"
Luna jumped up into the air and did a backflip mid-leap. As she landed a sphere dropped into each of the five girl's laps.
"What are these?" Amy asked curiously as she held up the red and white ball.
"These are your new transformation aides. They are called Pokeballs. Now I want you guys to be familiar with your new transformations, so I want you to practice your powers now."
Raye looked at her as if she had lost it. No mind that it was a talking cat with a crescent moon on her forehead that she was addressing. "Are you crazy?" She practically yelled at the small feline. "Grandpa is here!"
"Oh, he's practically blind and deaf as it is," Serena stood up for Luna. Raye's nostrils flared and she lunged for her, but the other girls held her back. "Quick Luna! How do these work?" Serena squealed in terror as angry fire continued to dance in Raye's eyes.
"Hold it out and say Pikachu Power!"
Serena held the ball out in front of her and shouted just as she was instructed to. Everything went black around her for a moment and then she started to twirl, her newly altered costume materializing on her body. The darkness ended with an abrupt flash of blinding light and then she was standing back in the room fully transformed with everyone staring at her. They had all frozen in place from their struggle with Raye and their eyes were the size of saucers.
"That…" Raye started.
"Was…" Lita added.
"Freaky," Amy said. The others gawked at her for a moment. It was so rare she said something that made her sound her age. "What?" She yelled at her odd looks. "I can be normal every once in a while damn it!" She defended. They all continued to stare at her in shock, only now at her cursing. She gave a sigh, shot them all a general look of disgust and threw her hands up in the air in defeat.
It was about this time Serena looked down at her costume and gave a scream mixed of shock and distaste. "Oh my gods, this outfit is hideous!" Serena shrieked as she examined her boots and gloves. When she turned slightly and caught a glimpse of the lightning bolt shaped tail attached to the back she screamed again. "No way am I wearing this in public!" She declared.
"Um, yeah," Mina said to the cat, agreeing with Serena. "That is a tad funky, even for us."
Luna seemed to ignore the remark. "Raye, your transform word is Charmander Power. Amy's is Squirtle Power. Lita's will be Bulbasaur Power. And Mina's will be Eevee Power," The group just started at her as if she had spoken Swahili. "For Christ's sake! Would you transform already!" The cat yelled at them.
"Do we have to?" Lita begged, giving another anxious look at Serena's get-up.
"Do it now or so help me you'll not have to worry about Mewtwo!" She threatened, practically roaring at the now terrified girls.
"Um… you first," Mina whispered to Raye, shoving her forward.
"Hell no! You first!" She snapped back at the blonde.
"Will you hush before she kills us!" Amy looked nervously at the cat. "We'll all do it once," They counted off then shouted out their transformations.
"Charmander Power!"
"Bulbasaur Power!"
"Squirtle Power!"
"Eevee Power!"
Serena watched as a human sized pokeball closed up around each of the girls and began spinning around. After a second or two they opened back up with a flash of light and disappeared, leaving the girls standing there. Each looked down in horror and started shieking about their costumes. They all had tails, and a few other things added to their basic sailor outfits, but for the most part, they had kept the basic form of their uniforms. They were just warped somehow.
The others calmed down as Mina continued to scream about how her costume's basic color scheme was a red-ish brown. "At least we transform in some privacy in this way," Amy pointed out as a good thing.
"Well, you guys don't look that ridiculous," Luna offered.
Just then, Artemis came running in the room. "Quick guys! There's an-" He stopped mid sentence and just started at them oddly. "You guys look like freaks!"
"What were you saying?" Luna growled at him.
"Oh yeah," Artemis sweat-dropped in embarrassment. "There's an attack at the park!"
"Okay scouts, let's go!" Serena yelled as she ran out the door, the other scouts following her.
"I think those new transformations may work," Luna said after they left.
"Yeah. The enemies may kill themselves by laughing to death at them," Artemis stuck in.
Luna smacked him upside the head.
