The first thing I should mention about this is that it's set on Earth-7 of the Arrowverse multiverse. Which means that the characters that have been in Arrow aren't the characters you know. They may have similarties, however. :)
Also, this is also a crossover with Power Rangers (The Pirate Powers are the main focus, but it will be crossing over with the 2017 Movie Team as well later on).
Unlocking Potential
Chapter One:
Sophia took a deep breath as she woke up in an unfamiliar wooded clearing. She sat up, smiling when she saw her three companions, Bella the Pikachu, Hela the Houndoom and Kono the Alolan Raichu, were still with her, though they were asleep. As she did, she also reached for her bag, which was on the ground next to her. She let out a sigh of relief as she found her other Poke Balls inside it, along with all of her other stuff. As well as a strange, yet familiar, small brown treasure crest. She frowned as she opened it, and felt a sudden power run through her. She felt compelled to put her hand inside and when she did it gripped around something solid. She frowned as she pulled out a strange black and red phone with a pirate theme. As well as a familiar statuette of a red pirate. She smiled before putting them both back inside as she heard "Pika?" as Bella popped out from underneath her arm. Sophia smiled before saying "Hey Bell, you're awake. And no, I don't know how the Treanger Box got into my bag." revealing an Estuary English accent. "Rai?" came Kono's voice, from behind her. "Raichu?" Sophia smiled as she turned, to see Hela and Kono making their way towards her and Bella. "Hey guys, I'm sorry Kono, I don't know where we are… All I know is that this isn't Lush Jungle." She took a deep breath, before standing up and pushing the box back into her bag, along with the strange phone and statuette. "Let's see if we can find any civilisation." she said, looking at the three Pokemon. Before scooping Bella up and placing her on her shoulder as she made her way into the woods. With Hela and Kono following.
As they walked through the woods, Sophia couldn't help but smile as she saw Caterpie, Weedle and Wurmple hiding in the trees around them, as well as Spinarak skittering across the path. She was happy to know wherever she was had Pokemon, so hers wouldn't look too out of place. She was so engrossed in her thoughts that she didn't notice she had walked through a sticky rope-like substance, not till she found herself stuck. As an Ariados jumped down from the trees. Thankfully Hela had been paying attention and scared the Long Leg Pokemon away by lighting her mouth up with fire, while Kono used her Psychic to get her free. After that, Sophia made sure to pay attention to where she was walking, so she didn't wonder into another Ariados web, or worse, a Beedrill nest.
After a good half hour, they managed to find the exit, and soon found themselves walking into a small town. She was in what looked like the main street, judging by the amount of shops either side of the road. There was even the smell of freshly baked bread and cookies wafting from a bakery, making her slightly hungry. "Pika?" asked Bella, pointing to the bakery. "Pika Pi."
"I'll get you some chocolate later." said Sophia, looking at Bella. "I don't have any money on me." Bella pouted, as Sophia noticed a shop front across from her. The name caught her off guard, but also intrigued her, so she made her way towards the 'Kent General Store'.
Sophia took a deep breath as she looked up at the sign of the shop, a small smile on her lips. Her left wrist was itching, which she was currently doing her best to ignore. And the name of the shop niggled at the back of her mind, but she ignored it as something she didn't need to worry about for the time being. "Alright you two, I'll be right back." she said, looking at Hela and Kono, who were both sat underneath the shop window, while Bella was still sat on her shoulder. "Stay here and don't cause any trouble." She aimed that last part at Kono, who was currently bouncing on her tail in place next to Hela. "'Doom!" said Hela, looking at Sophia, as she sat down next to Kono. Sophia nodded and said "Thanks, Hela, I'll be right back, I promise. I just need to find out where we are, this doesn't feel like Pokearth even if there are Pokemon here." She smiled before walking into the store.
As soon as she entered the shop, she felt the itch on her left wrist intensify, meaning she couldn't ignore it any longer. She lifted the sleeve of her jacket to see two strange black symbols tattooed on her wrist, one of which she recognised almost instantly. It was a diamond shape with a stylised S inside, obviously the Crest of the House of El. Wherever she was, the Super-Family existed, in a world with Pokemon… This world was starting to confuse her, and she didn't like it. She shook the thought out of her head as she studied the second symbol, an office building with an L on the side of it. Another bout of confusion entered her brain, and she was starting to hate whoever had brought to this strange world. Plus, to top it all off, the House-of-El Crest was glowing gold, causing her to frown. She was brought completely out of her thoughts when she heard a loud crash coming from somewhere towards the back of the shop. She instantly looked up as she heard a female voice shout "Everything's fine, Uncle Jon! I caught it!" Sophia let out a small smile, as she saw a middle aged man with slightly greying hair walk out from an aisle, shaking his head with a smile of his own. "Hey there." he said, with a smile. "Welcome to my store. Are you new in town? I haven't seen you around here before."
"I think I'm just passing through." said Sophia, with a smile as she looked at the man, while also hastily pulling her sleeve down. "I was just wondering if you had maps I could have a look at? My phone's not getting any signal here…"
"Of course." said the man, with a smile. "I'm Jonathan, by the way. Jonathan Kent." Sophia gasped, she knew where she was now, before shaking the thought out of her head and saying "Sophia Chase. And this is Bella..." She motioned to where Bella had been sat on her shoulder, only to realise the Pikachu wasn't there anyway. "I was wondering why she had been so quiet… And why my shoulder suddenly felt lighter… I am so sorry Mr. Kent… If she damages anything I can probably pay for it…"
"Please, call me Jonathan." he said, looking at her. "Don't worry, I don't charge for damages." He smiled. "I keep the maps in the back room though, I don't sell many these days but I do keep buying new ones just in case. You never know when somebody will need them. My niece, Kara, will help you." Sophia nodded before following him through the shop.
"Hey Uncle Jon." said Kara, as Jonathan led Sophia into the back room. Sophia smiled as she saw Bella playing chase with an Eevee underneath a table, which Kara was sat on, on her phone. "Is it alright with you if Lena comes here? She's just gotten back from Topeka."
"Of course, as long as she doesn't keep you from doing your work." said Jonathan, with a smile. "Listen, I need you to help this customer. She wants to look at the maps." Kara nodded and said "Of course, uncle." Jonathan nodded before looking at Sophia. "If you have any questions, Kara can answer them. I'll be in the front." Sophia nodded before watching him walk off. Kara smiled at her and said "Hi, I'm Kara Danvers." while extending her left hand. Sophia did the same as she said "Sophia Chase. I see you've met..." She trailed off as their hands met and she felt a slight electric shock. She instantly recoiled her hand, and began checking it for a mark but found none as Kara grinned and said "It is you! Lena's gonna be so jealous I got to meet you first!"
"What was that? What are you talking about?" asked Sophia, looking at Kara, confused. When she catches whoever it was that brought her here they'd be on the wrong side of one of her Pokemon. However, she did notice that her arm had stopped itching, which was a relief, but now Kara was pulling her sleeve up. And had quite the grip, Sophia couldn't break away. "See! You have my mark!" she said, pointing to the House-of-El Crest, which was now a dull gold, not glowing at all. She pointed to the other one, which was now starting to glow gold and itch at the same time. "And that Lena's mark! Yes! Yes!" She grinned as she jumped into the air beginning to seemingly float. Sophia took a deep breath before saying "I still have no idea what any of this means, Danvers."
"It means we're all soulmates." came another female voice, from behind them. Sophia turned to see another girl of the same age as her and Kara standing there, a Poochyena at her heel. "Hi, I'm Lena. And I presume Kara's been too giddy to answer any questions you've had." She held out her hand for Sophia, who shook it with a small smile. The same electric shock was felt, but this time Sophia didn't recoil, and the itchy feeling disappeared once again. She still had no idea what was going on, and it was beginning to annoy her, but she didn't show it. She still had time to get the information she needed. "Sophia." said Sophia, with a small smile. "It's a pleasure to meet you, I suppose. You have soulmates here? Interesting…"
"You didn't know that?" asked Lena, confused. Sophia let out another small smile before saying "I didn't know where I was till I saw Mr. Kent out there. I woke up in the woods outside town nearly an hour ago…" She took a deep breath as she took a seat on the table. Before Kara said "Erm, guys, a woman just walked into the store asking for you, Sophia." Sophia grinned, as she stood up. "Bella, with me." she said, before walking out. With Bella quickly following.
Sophia let out a small smile as she saw a very familiar woman talking to Jonathan. "Thanks again, Jonathan." said the woman, looking at Jonathan as Sophia walked up to them. Jonathan smiled at her before saying "It's no problem at all, Athena. I'm sure Clark won't mind having another kid around the farm. And Martha will be happy to have somebody else to help out."
"Hey Mum, you finally caught up with me, huh?" said Sophia, announcing her presence. "What 'cha talkin' 'bout?"
"Jonathan was just telling me that he thinks you've met your soulmates." said Athena, with a smile. "And he also offered to let you stay at his and his wife's farm, if you want."
"And also attend school here, right?" asked Sophia, looking at Athena, with a smile. "Because there's a lot I don't know about this world. Stuff I really need to know if I'm going to be staying here."
"Only my children wouldn't moan about having to attend school." said Athena, shaking her head with a chuckle. "Yes, you'll be attending Smallville High when it starts again next week. I've already set it up." She smiled. "I'm gonna assume you didn't look at the letter I left for you in your bag?"
"Letter?" asked Sophia, opening her bag with a frown. She hadn't seen a letter… "All I found out of the ordinary was the Treanger Box." Athena raised an eyebrow as Sophia pulled the small brown treasure chest out of her bag. "You didn't give me this?"
"No." said Athena, frowning. "I've never seen anything like that before. The power that's coming off it… You know what it is?"
"Of course I do." said Sophia, looking at her mother. "But if you didn't put it in my bag… Who did?"
"I will look into that." said Athena, looking at her. "I suggest you don't open it till..." She saw Sophia's small smile. "You've already opened it, haven't you? What happened?"
"Nothing. Nothing at all." said Sophia, looking at her with a smile. "I wouldn't have opened it if I thought it would be bad, Mum. You know I'm more cautious than that." Athena nodded, even though she didn't appear to be convinced. "I'll believe you." she said, looking at Sophia. "Be good for the Kents, OK? I'll be in contact when I find out who put that box in your bag. Don't use whatever you found inside till then. Please. I own you're wiser than to use something you barely know anything about."
"Of course, Mum." said Sophia, with a small smile. "I won't use anything from the box till you find out who put it in my bag." Athena shook her head before pulling Sophia into a hug as she said "Seriously, though, be good for the Kents. I know how you get when you're stuck in one town." Sophia rolled her eyes as the two said their goodbyes.
After Athena left, Jonathan suggested to Kara that she and Lena take Sophia up to the farm. Which was how she found herself in Lena's car with Bella on her lap and Kono and Hela next to her in the back of said car. Lena's Poochyena, Argos, and Kara's Eevee, Streaky, were sat on Kara's lap in the front passenger seat. "So, what are you hiding from your mom?" asked Lena, looking at Sophia through the rear-view mirror. Sophia smiled before saying "Was I that unconvincing?"
"Perks of being soulmates." said Lena, with a smile. "We cannot lie to each other. Though your mother did see through it so maybe you were unconvincing." Sophia chuckled, as Kara said "You're going to use whatever was inside that strange box, aren't you?"
"I'd never turn down the chance to become a Power Ranger." said Sophia, with a grin. "Especially not the Red Pirate." Lena raised an eyebrow as she drove, as Kara said "A Power Ranger? What's that?"
"It's kinda hard to explain, I'll have to show you." said Sophia, with a smile. "I'll need to do some practising with the Power, after all. My sister always taught never to do things half-arsed. Though she never used those words exactly." Sophia chuckled to herself, as Kara grinned just before the car fell into silence for the rest of the ride.
It took ten minutes to reach the Kent Farm, and Sophia saw a middle aged woman standing on the porch of the house with a Persian at her side, waiting, no doubt, for them to arrive. Kara put the two Pokemon on her lap down on the floor before she ran up to the porch saying "Aunt Martha!" The woman, Martha, smiled and hugged Kara as Sophia placed Bella back on her shoulder and Kono and Hela jumped out of the car. Before she made her way up to the porch with Lena. "You must be Sophia." said Martha, with a smile. "I'm Martha, it's a pleasure to meet you."
"Same." said Sophia, with a small smile. "You don't mind me staying here?"
"Of course not." said Martha, looking at Sophia. "Just as long as you don't mind helping out around here. We are a farm after all."
"Of course." said Sophia, nodding. "I'd be happy to help out, it'll probably stop me from getting bored." She smiled, as Martha nodded with a smile of her own before saying "Right, I'll show you to your room." She looked at Lena and Kara. "Lena, Kara, dears, there are cookies in the kitchen if you want them. And I just made some lemonade so help yourself." Kara had already run off at the mention of cookies, making Lena smile before following. Leaving Martha with Sophia on the porch. "Shall we?" asked Martha, with a smile. Sophia nodded before following Martha into the house. With Kono and Hela following.
A few minutes later, Sophia was taking a deep breath as she looked around the room Martha had led her to. Bella had already claimed the bed, and was curled up on the pillow, asleep, while Hela was curled up at the bottom of the bed, also snoozing. Kono was bouncing on her tail in the middle of the room, however, restless as ever, as Sophia walked over to the window. "Everything alright?" came Lena's voice, from behind her. Sophia turned to see Lena standing in the doorway. "Do you want to talk?"
"I'd ask why you care about somebody you just met but it's the whole soulmate thing, isn't it." said Sophia, sighing, as she itched her left arm. "I just got out of my longest relationship… It lasted a year and… She broke up with me, you know, but I somehow gained custody of Nebby… She gave me her as a gift and…" Sophia took a deep breath. "Look, I'm just not ready to be in another relationship right now… Especially not one that's supposedly predestined… All this Aphrodite mumbo jumbo, she's obviously using this world as a guinea pig for love experiments…" She shook her head. "I just need some time to clear my head and maybe in a few months, possibly a year, I think I might be ready." She looked at Lena. "Can we just start off as friends?"
"Of course." said Lena, looking at her. "Kara and I didn't start dating till a year after we met, I don't believe in blindly stumbling into something as important as love. The people who adopted me were soulmates, but they didn't get to know each other before they got married and it was a disaster. Just because we're soulmates, doesn't mean we have to automatically get married." She let out a small smile. "Though, it is entirely possible now that Kara and I have met you. We could easily get married tomorrow if we wanted. By law, soulmates can get married as soon as they meet all of their soulmates. They don't even need to get permission from anybody other than the government."
"It's nice to know we're on the same page." said Sophia, with a smile, before furrowing her eyebrows. "Wait, you can legally marry more than one person here? Wow, that's kinda progressive…"
"Only if you're soulmates." said Lena, with a small smile. "And you have to prove it to the government before you can get your marriage license." Sophia nodded, that sounded like a lot of work, as well as something she didn't want to talk about, so she changed the subject and said "You know, I've never had American Lemonade before, is there still some in the kitchen?" Lena smiled before nodding and leading Sophia out of the room. Kono was the first to notice, and floated over to where Hela was sleeping. Waking her up. "Rai!" said Kono, looking at Hela. "Raichu!"
"'Doom?" said Hela, looking around. "Hound. Houndoom." She stood up, stretching, as Bella began floating with a purple aura around her. "Pika! Pikachu!" she said, as she woke up. Before getting placed on Hela's back as Hela headed out of the room with Kono following.
"No offence, but I think I prefer the British version of Lemonade, this is way too sweet." said Sophia, as she put her glass of Lemonade down on the kitchen table before grabbing a cookie from the plate in the middle of the table. Bella was sat on the table in front of her, nibbling on her own cookie, while Hela was eating out of a bowl on the floor, next to Streaky and Argos who had their own bowl, and Kono was in the corner levitating one cookie while eating another. Kara had her own plate of cookies in front of her, which was already close to empty, while Lena was sat next to Sophia, sipping her own glass of Lemonade. Sophia smiled as she continued "But these cookies are amazing, Ms. Kent. Did you bake them?"
"I'd love to take the credit but I got them from the bakery in town." said Martha, with a smile. "And please, call me Martha." Sophia nodded, with a smile, before saying "I smelt that place when I got into town… It smelt divine… There's nothing like the smell of freshly baked bread and cookies…"
"Kara spends pretty much all of her allowance there." said Lena, with a grin. "Between me and Kara, I think we're the ones keeping the place afloat. Kara loves their doughnuts, I can literally get her to do anything if I promise to buy a box."
"I resent that." said Kara, looking at Lena. "I won't do anything for them. I turned down that one thing, even though you offered me doughnuts."
"OK, so there's one or two things you won't do for doughnuts, but that's a very small list." said Lena, with a chuckle. Sophia smiled as she lent back in her chair. Before saying "I know a lot about having a love for food. Alola had these amazing Malasadas… Everytime I went to a city I had to have one… Well, actually twelve but you know… That's still technically one, just one box." She smiled again, as Lena chuckled before she said "In that case, Kara only has two." Kara stuck her tongue out at Lena, causing her to shake her head with a smile as she continued "I'm still not sure where she puts it all. She never puts on any weight. I hate her for it, I actually have to watch my weight."
"Oh, you're probably gonna hate me as well then." said Sophia, with a small smile. "I've never gained weight myself… Probably something to do with my Olympian heritage. Lillie always said I..." She trailed off as she took a deep breath. "Nope, not ready to go down that route right now…" She stood up with a small smile as she looked at Martha. "I hope it's alright with you, Martha, if I get some fresh air for a bit. I'll be back before it gets dark, I promise."
"Of course, dear." said Martha, with a smile. Sophia nodded before heading for the back door, with Bella jumping onto her shoulder. Hela and Kono also followed.
Soon enough, Sophia was sat in a field with the Treanger Box in front of her, out of which she had already extracted the red pirate statuette and strange phone. Bella had her head inside the box, Kono sat bouncing on her tail next to them and Hela was sniffing the box. As Sophia flipped the statuette into a key and went to put it in the opening in the phone, the key was knocked out of her hand by a fire ball. Sophia turned to see a girl of about eighteen standing there with a Combusken. And they looked like they wanted to battle. "You're on private property." said the girl, looking at Sophia. "Wanna tell me why you're here or do I have to battle you?"
"The name's Sophia. I'm staying with the Kents." said Sophia, looking at the girl. "But I am up for a battle if you are. I find battles are a good way to clear my head." She reached into her bag and pulled out a Luxury Ball. "Are you sure you want to battle me though? I've been practically undefeated for the past two years."
"Past three years, me." said the girl, looking at her. "Grant and I accept your challenge." Sophia smirked and stepped forward, before saying "As do Wendy and I." as she pressed the button on the Luxury Ball. A red light emerged and when it dissipated, Wendy the Mimikyu was sat on the ground. Wendy looked around, before noticing the Combusken and letting out a cry of "Mim!"
"Yes, Wendy, you're in a battle." said Sophia, with a smile. "Afterwards you can read your books, OK?"
"Mim!" said Wendy, nodding. Her head bobbling. As both Sophia and the girl heard "Alex! Sophia! What's going on?!" Both of them turned to see Kara running towards them with Streaky in her arms. Lena was behind them with Argos in her arms. "Why does it look like you're about to battle?"
"Because we are, Kara." said the girl, Alex, looking at Kara. "You know this girl?"
"Yeah, she's Sophia. My other soulmate." said Kara, looking at Alex. "Please tell me you didn't scare her."
"This is just a friendly battle, Danvers." said Sophia, with a smile. "I was the one who suggested it. I need to clear my head. A battle's the easiest way I know, plus it's always good to keep your skills sharp." Kara looked at Sophia. As Lena joined them and said "Kara, if Sophia wants to battle your sister, let her."
"But..." said Kara, looking at Lena. Lena shot her a look before saying "Sophia can handle herself. I'm sure of it."
"Are we gonna battle or not?" asked Alex, looking at Sophia. Sophia smiled as she nodded before saying "Of course."
"Then we should probably take this to the practise field Jonathan made for me a few years ago." said Alex, looking at Sophia with a smile. "It's probably better than doing it in a random field..."
"That's fine by me." said Sophia, with a smile of her own. "Though the last place Wendy and I fought was inside of an abandoned Thrifty Mart, so a random field is a step up." Alex laughed, as Sophia scooped up the Treanger Box and put it back in her bag. Along with the strange phone and the statuette, which Kono had levitated over to her. She smiled before the eleven began making their way back towards the farm.
Next chapter begins with a Pokemon Battle. :D
