So I've actually had this story on my tumblr for a while now, and I'm just now getting around to moving it to Fanfic and Ao3. There's 5 chapters to it, and it's complete. I figure I'll update every few days, when I have time around homework to go through the separate parts and edit it.
Pokemon attacks are going to be notated in italics, and just a fair warning, there have been some adjustments made to some attacks/restrictions between the show and games to fit with the story world. Like Pokemon only knowing four moves. They know more than that.
Anyways. Like the summary says this is "Pre-Malec" so while it will be primarily featuring around Alec and Magnus, there won't be any hooking up between them. I hope that doesn't frighten any of you off.
Disclaimer: I do not own The Mortal Instruments or Pokemon.
Unpleasant Meetings
When Alec's Eevee runs off, he doesn't expect it to cause him to meet one of the most handsome men he's ever seen. If only something could be done about that personality. Pre-Malec
Chapter 1: Crash Course in Introductions
"All right Banette," There was the sound of pencil scratching against paper singing with the hum of Telekinesis and the Kecleon's panicked sounds. "Just hold her there for a few more minutes, okay?"
After ten more minutes, the Kecleon was returned to the ground, vanishing from sight immediately. Banette gave a displeased huff, but let the Kecleon retreat back into the bushes around the clearing.
Alec stood up, stretched, and tucked his sketchbook back into his pack.
"Who's ready to get going?" He asked his Pokémon. Alec's Eevee, who he had caught two weeks ago, twined insistently around his legs, while his Banette took the initiative and scaled Alec until she was hanging off his shoulder.
"Haunter," Alec called for the last of his pokémon. Alec had caught Haunter in a cave towards the beginning of his journey, around the same time he had caught Banette. At the time, Haunter had still been a Ghastly, and Alec had the unpleasant experience of waking up one morning to find his Ghastly evolved into a Haunter. It had been quite the scare.
Banette, lucky for Alec, had been caught as a Banette, but unlucky for Alec, she had the ability of Insomnia, so whenever she insisted on spending the night outside of her Pokéball, he didn't get much sleep.
"Haunter, c'mon," Alec called once more, clapping his hands together, keeping his eyes towards the shadows of the clearing. Haunter did have a predilection for darkness, and Alec was normally conscientious of that, only bringing him out during the night. But Alec had had a slight mix-up, and thought that Haunter had known Telekinesis when it was Banette.
A cold chill shuddered across his free shoulder, but Alec had long since stopped jumping at the sensation; he merely craned his head to look at the ghost-type now hovering over his shoulder. Haunter frowned, obviously upset at not scaring his trainer.
"We ready?" Alec asked his Pokémon once more, and at their nods, they started forward.
Eevee took the lead, wandering in front of them all, while Banette stuck to Alec's shoulder, and Haunter hovered slightly behind Alec.
The trip was mostly uneventful, until Eevee veered off to the side, sprinting under the brush, out of Alec's sight.
"Eevee!" Alec yelped, chasing after him. "Get back here!" He raced through the brush after Eevee. He tripped over a root hidden by the underbrush, and accidentally pitched himself over the edge of the ledge that his Eevee had been smart enough to stop at.
"Banette," He said breathlessly, wanting her to use Telekinesis, but it was too late; the ground was coming up too quickly. God this was an embarrassing end, Alec only hoped that his death was quick–
"Well, well, well," A voice purred below him. "What do you suppose we have here, Chairman?" Alec cracked open his eyes, which he hadn't realized he'd shut.
And promptly saw the most gorgeous eyes he had ever seen before. They were a beautiful mixture of gold and green, centered on golden skin. It was also about that time that Alec realized he was hovering mid-air. He squeaked, flailing, but didn't move much. Banette snickered on his shoulder, the traitor.
"Terribly sorry," Alec managed to get out, hiding his face behind his hands. "Would you, ah, mind putting me down?"
"Oh, it wouldn't be much bother," His savior responded airily, a cocky grin. His eyes glinted, and Alec worried as he removed his hands. "For a price." The Espeon at his side– most likely Chairman –cocked its head to the side, eyes glowing a dark purple with its use of Telekinesis.
"What price?" Alec asked suspiciously.
"Oh, nothing much." His savior said reassuringly, though the glint in his eyes was nothing but. "Just a kiss– though your number would do just as well."
Alec could feel his face burn right to the tips of his ears. A mixture of rage and embarrassment pulsed through him. He studied the Espeon and the man in front of him. No other visible pokémon, and…
"Espeons are psychic-types, right?" Alec asked. "Oh, who am I kidding, of course they are."
"What does that have to do with anything? You only have–"
"Haunter," Alec shouted overtop of his 'savior', voice calm and flat. "Shadow Punch."
"Wha–?"
Haunter laughed as he appeared, delivering a swift uppercut to the Espeon on the ground. The force of the punch sent it skidding back, cancelling Telekinesis, and knocking the poor thing out. Ghost-types were super-effective against psychic-types, after all. Alec and Banette crashed to the ground, and Banette chittered her displeasure as they picked themselves up.
"Hey, that was–"
"Banette, Telekinesis," Alec interrupted the other once more, deathly calm. His 'savior' gave an undignified shriek as he found himself dangled upside down above the ground. Banette laughed as she returned to her perch on Alec's shoulder.
"Okay, okay, let's just discuss this rationally," He was saying, but Alec didn't really have the time for anyone who thought unsolicited offers such as his had been were appropriate.
"Eevee," Alec continued in the same eerie calm and flat tone of voice, "Shadow Ball."
The man yelped as the force of the attack hit him right in the stomach, knocking him out of the clutches of Banette's Telekinesis and straight into a tree.
A twinge of guilt flashed through Alec, said that maybe he had overreacted, but he didn't spare it a second thought. He forced it down as he picked his Eevee up off the ground, and continued their way to the next town, never looking back.
And he most certainly did not spend the next two insomnia filled nights thinking about gold-green eyes and Espeons.
And that's part 1! Please read and review, and tell me what you think!
