Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon, Doctor Who, or anything mentioned in here. Like Abe Lincoln hunting vampires. That movie does seem a bit odd.

Okay, okay, this is my first time writing a story like this. Though it may not turn out well, I hope you can stay with me through the whole thing!


"Doctor, where are we going?" The irritated voice of Amy Pond resonated through out the Tardis, which at the moment was shaking and tumbling through time.

"Well, I was planning on going to meet Abraham Lincoln, see if he really did hunt vampires, but River is sending me somewhere else. 'Somewhere more important,' she says," the Doctor complained. "Some kid has been known to see the past and future of people. Personally, I want to see this President hunt vampires, but no. We have to find this kid."

"See their past and future? He can't just be some normal kid, then. River's right- you need to go see this. Forget about vampires for now, and grow up for once."

"Picky, picky, hm? I'd much rather be hunting vampires with Abe Lincoln, even cooped up with the Master, then go check out some kid! What if he turns out to be faking? I'll say to River, 'I told you so.' But..."

"But?"

"But she claims that everything he says will happen, happens. She still has yet to give me an example, so how should I believe her? It's a bit childish, don't you think?"

"You are the most childish person I've met. What more, you want to hunt vampires. That proves my point!"

"So what? You drew pictures of me and told stories of me to everyone! Is that childish?"

"They were true."

"Yes, and so are vampires."

"They may be, but this could be something important!"

"Ooh, looks like we're here! Come along, Pond, follow me!"

"Doctor, take me home." Now, this was a change of mind. The first time the Doctor said he was taking a trip, Amy was excited, like she couldn't wait.

"Amy... Why? It'll be fun. I promise. We're already here, mind you. I don't want to go all the way back, then all the way back here again!" He impatiently stomped his his foot on the ground, crossing his arms over his chest. "No."

"That's the same old Doctor I know. I'll stay in the TARDIS, then?"

"Fine. Don't touch anything, don't go anywhere. You hear?"

"Yes, o wise one," Amy chuckled.

"Good girl." With a curt nod, he threw open the tall wooden doors and was out into the sun, into a wide open field.


Trees lined the edges, and patches of tall grass lay here and there around the trees. To the north of the field, the grass grew darker and taller, up to the point where they just might reach his waist. "Beautiful scenery, it is!" he exclaimed, gently pinching the ends of his bowtie, standing up on his toes to see farther. The first thing that caught his eye was a lovely flower- at least it looked like one- a growing one, that is. It was a small, green stem, growing out of a brown and yellow striped seed. "Now, would you look at this... The largest seed I've ever seen." Ever so carefully, he scooped it into his hands, turning it over in all sorts of directions, but there was something odd. Of course, the Doctor didn't think it odd, because he'd seen so many different things, but to a normal human, of course they might be a little concerned about it.

It had a face. A small, shiny-eyed face. It's mouth curled at both sides, forming a loose W shape, and it was wide open in a bright, even kind of cute smile. It's eyes seemed a bit big for the creature. White pupils were surrounded by black on all sides. The brown stripes went down from it's eyes and mouth, all the way to the back of the seed. "Sun?" it spoke with a high-pitched squeak.

"Sun? Why sun? Or do you say 'son'?" The Doctor tilted his head in confusion as he held it up close to it's face.

"Kern."

"Kern? What's kern?" Seeming to respond to this, the 'seed''s mouth shrank into a small 'o' shape as it took a sharp breath in. A series of round, smaller seeds shot into the Doctor's face, making him jump back in surprise, dropping the poor thing on the ground. "What was that for?"

"Sunkern!" As the Doctor stared into the eyes of the thing, it took small hops backward until it was shrouded beneath the blades of the dark, tall grass.

"That just might have been the strangest thing that's happened," he mumbled. "Back to business. River didn't tell me what the kid looked like! Stupid, stupid, me. Must have forgotten to ask. Or I might have forgotten, with everything that runs through my mind."

"Sunkern said it sensed something strange in you." This new voice was calm and spoke intelligently, as if it knew just what the creature was thinking! The face behind the voice was shadowed by a black and white hat- underneath were soft, gray-blue eyes, staring straight down at the Doctor, who was now kneeling on the grass. "You've been through many things, and will see many more- but you've never been here. You've never seen Pokémon before, nor heard of them. Who are you?"

"I'm the Doctor, and I've come to find you. Come back with me. That good with you? Good. Let's go." He bolted up, not bothering to take a look at the kid, and took his arm and ran.

But the kid was stronger. He pulled his arm free of the Time Lord's grasp, making the Doctor lurch forward as the added weight was taken away. "Hey! I need you."

"I cannot leave. I need to help the Pokémon."

"The Pokémon? Is that what the thing was?" With a flustered expression, he pointed a finger back in the direction where Sunkern had retreated to the grass. "It tried to kill me."

"It cannot kill you, it isn't strong enough. It felt threatened, being confronted by a man with such power as you. I can speak with the Pokémon- I hear what they are saying. Those that are treated terribly by their trainers cry out in despair, while those treated luxuriously by their trainers cry out in glee. Wild ones, like that Sunkern," he nodded toward the grass, where it was peeking out at them, "sometimes want to be caught, and sometimes want to be free to roam around the country."

"That's impressive. I'm the Doctor- who are you?"

"My name is N. I am a Trainer, but I can't help to wonder... Should Pokémon really be confined to be with Trainers? Should they have to be expected to obey their every command? I'm searching for a way to stop this, put an end to it all, and end the Pokémon's suffering."


Yay, for my first story...

I apologize for the EXTREMELY out of character Doctor. If anyone is willing, would you help me to write him better?

I hope to update soon, when I am not busy with work and things like that. I hope you at least enjoyed this!
