RainbowSeagull: So, this is my first time ever submitting a story I've written. I just got Explorers of Sky, and I've been reading Les Miserables, so this idea popped into my head. Please excuse me if they come out OOC. I tried, but sometimes when you try it just doesn't work. And I wanted Javert to be a cute and cuddly Pokemon because... I don't know. It seemed like a good idea.
"Oh my! A kitty! Are you all right, kitty?"
Javert groaned and opened one eye, keeping the other covered by his hand. He blinked until his vision cleared, and jumped to his feet when he saw a large yellow thing with red cheeks running straight to him.
"Get back!" Javert reached to his side for his stick, but when he did so he lost his balance and fell on his side. He climbed back to his feet and flicked his tail angrily to get the sand out of his fur.
"Wait. Tail? Fur!" Javert looked down and saw shiny brown fur. He looked behind him and saw a fluffy tail. "What on earth happened? I swear when I find out who did this to me I'll have them arrested! Was it Valjean! I bet it was!" The yellow creature's ears twitched.
"Valjean? How do you know that name?" it asked.
"HOW THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING! Javert screamed.
"How are you talking?" it retorted.
"...Good point," Javert grumbled. "I know that name because I've been chasing him for God knows how long. Why do you ask?"
"Well, I ask because..." the thing paused. "Maybe I have your name, sir?"
"Inspector Javert."
"Oh my, would you look at the time! I really should get going now, monsieur. Sorry, but I have some important business to attend to." The yellow thing attempted to turn and run, but Javert dashed in front of him.
"Hold it. I gave you my name, now give me yours and your reason for asking why I knew the name Valjean." Javert glared at the thing.
"I... Er, I'm Ultime Fauchelevent. I live in a convent in Paris as gardener. I ask because I... saw that name in the papers once," it explained.
"...Liar. No one in their right mind would hire an oversized yellow mouse to be their gardener, let alone a group of nuns! Now, who are you and how do you know Valjean?" Javert took a step toward the mouse thing. It tried to run, but Javert tackled it before it got far. However, the mouse was able to push Javert off.
"I'm Ultime Fauchelevent, I tell you!" it said.
"...Fauchelevent, you say?" Javert blocked his way once more. "You're surely not connected to a certain Fauchelevent that was saved from a cart by Jean Valjean? I don't recall him ever having a brother while living in Montreuil-Sur-Mer, or any relatives at all. You're quite strong for your size as well..."
"Oh dear, not this again," it muttered quietly.
"What was that?"
"Alright Javert. Past experience has told me that you'll get it eventually, and it will take a long time, but every second of that time you will be bothering me out of my wits. I'm Jean Valjean. However, since we don't appear to be in Paris anymore, or France for that matter, you can't arrest me right now. You're not wearing any clothes, anyway. It's not like you have your badge on you."
Javert learned two things from this. First, it was that the yellow thing is Jean Valjean. Second, he realized he was naked. For most Pokemon, there isn't anything wrong with that. He still had fur, anyway. But for Javert, it was public indecency and he was ready to arrest himself or bury himself in the sand under the ocean that was next to them.
"How can I arrest you when I should be arresting myself for going without clothes?" Javert lamented. Gloomily, he headed towards the ocean with his ears drooping.
"Um, Javert? It's not so bad. I'm not wearing anything either," Jean said.
"AHA! So you admit to breaking the law yet again, 24601!" Javert turned around, preparing to launch himself at Valjean. Before either could do anything, however, a little crab-like thing scurried between them.
"Why hello there! I haven't seen you two around here before. An Eevee," he said, turning to Javert, "and a Pikachu! What are your names and where are you from?"
"Hello, I'm Jean Valjean. You can just call me Jean if you want, of Valjean. And this is Ja-"
"Silence, 24601! I can introduce myself. My name's Javert."
"Wow, those are strange names. I'm Krabby. If you guys are looking for Treasure Town, it's up that way. Follow the path to the east, then when you reach the crossroads up north go west. Or, you can go north more to get to Wigglytuff's guild, if you were looking for jobs and stuff. Either way, get out of here because I'm going to be sleeping soon and you guys are making lots of noise," Krabby said.
Javert nodded, and turned to Valjean. "Well, Valjean? After you. I want you in front of me so you can't get away." Valjean, sighed, and aggreed to walk in front of the inspector.
"If only you were so cuddly and fluffy back home, I could live with you chasing me all the time," Valjean said after they reached the path.
"WHAT DID YOU SAY?"
"But officer Magnezone, I'm telling you that this man is a dangerous theif!"
"Zzzt. We have no evidence against him. Zzzt. There are no complaints against this Pokemon. Zzzt. We cannot arrest him," Magnezone floated away, leaving Javert frustrated.
"The one time I have you, and no once will let me put you behind bars! I could kill myself, this is so frustrating," Javert glared at Valjean. "It's all your fault."
"How is it my fault? I don't know how we got here either. "
"Everything is your fault. You're a convict. That makes everything your fault," Javert said seriously.
"Javert, your logic isn't usually this hard to follow. I think you need some rest. We both do. Why don't we go to that guild place Krabby told us about and we can sleep? You can keep looking for a way to get me arrested tomorrow. I just want to sleep for now," Valjean said.
"...Fine. But don't you dare run away in the morning, Valjean." Javert led Valjean to the crossroads, listening to make sure his footsteps were still there. "North," he said, thinking back to what Krabby said. The two Pokemon took the path up to the top of the hill, where they saw a large pink tent.
"Wigglytuff's Guild," Valjean read. "Hello? Is anyone there?" he called down the hole in front of the entrance.
"What? You talking to me? Loudred! Pokemon detected! He called out, but he didn't put his foot on it."
"Then make him!"
"Understood! Sir, please stand on top of the hole," the voice commanded. Valjean did so. "Footprint detected! Footprint detected! The footprint is Pikachu's! The footprint is Pikachu's! Please have your companion do the same." Valjean stepped away and looked at Javert.
"...No." Javert said.
"Why not?" Valjean asked. "Don't you want to get in?"
"I might fall," Javert said simply.
"What, are you afraid of heights of something?" Javert said nothing. "Oh. Well, do it quickly then so we can get in. Javert nodded, and reluctantly placed a foot over the hole.
"The footprint is Eevee's! The footprint is Eevee's! Come in, guests!" The gate opened, and the two walked cautiously inside. Valjean notice that Javert had carefully stepped around the hole.
This will be something to tell the people back home, Valjean thought.
So, I'm sort of only writing this to entertain myself. I'll try to follow the story of Explorers of Sky a bit. No promises on how often this will be updated, in case anyone was interested. I has much schoolworks.
