Hotarumon 14
Episode One: Lucky Encounter
Three years earlier
On a mysterious island building warning sirens were being heard. This was followed by the sounds of many feet running down the building. Inside the building there are ten humans running around, eight of which wore white military like suited boys and girls running down pursuing two others. One of the running people was a pink haired girl alongside an older white haired woman. These last two were shouting out threats to the other eight soldiers with the pink haired girl commenting "For anyone that allows Latios and Latias to escape, I will personally refer you to Master Greevil! I am SO not going to take the blame for your failure! So for you're sake, I suggest you do your best to not have those two escape!"
"Greevil won't have my head over this ether!" The white haired woman shouted "Get those two back as they know what we are up to, in creating Shadow Pokemon...Plus they are carrying a device that we stole from Dr. Kamiko!"
The Latias and Latios looked at each other indeed holding something in their tiny arms well two a Rotom and an odd shaped Pokeball object that was strapped to a watch. Where ever the two legendary Pokemon turned more soldiers appeared and finally they seemed to be surrounded."
"There's no use running" the pink haired girl spoke to the two legendary Pokemon "Now you two shall become Shadow Pokemon just like 000X1!"
Turns out this building and island was owned by Team Cipher, a criminal organization that was in the process of making Shadow Pokemon. The pink haired girl was Lovrina, and the white haired man named Snattle took command. The two were Cipher Admins and it seemed as if Latias and Latios would be next to become Shadow Pokemon, however the two Cipher Admins nor their Cipher Pion soldiers that were following them expected what happened next. Latios unleashed it's Luster Purge while Latias unleashed a Mist Ball. The admins and Cipher Pions stop in their tracks to brace themselves as the attacks seem to combine into a big explosion. When the explosion ended both Latias and Latios were gone.
"FOOLS!" Snattle roared "You let them escape!"
"This is SO not cool" Lovrina admitted "Especially when we were in the beginning process to invade Earth with the Shadow Pokemon."
Watching from his chambers the boss of Cipher frowned at this recent development. Things were going so well...Except the Ultimate Shadow Pokemon he was creating in codename 000X1 was taking along time to turn into a Shadow Pokemon and now two more legendary Pokemon eluded him as he spoke "Contact Miror B and his cronies Loveria, and Snattle...Let him know two Pokemon eluded us and have an item of great interests. I want those two Pokemon caught at once, also we will proceed with the new plan to invade the Earth soon."
"Right!"
The two admins followed by two other men, one a man wearing red and seemed to move like a gorilla named Gorigan. Greevil was scene with two other men one wearing a blue outfit and the other wore a red one identical to the other. They were Greevil's sons Ardos, and Eldes all three watched carefully of what might happen hoping for the best. Their plans in dominating the Earth was in jeopardy if it didn't.
Present time 3 year later.
A brown haired pigged tailed girl had just arrived into the US. Her family had just moved from Japan. Her father an NCIS agent was re stationed at Quantico. Her mother was a nurse. The thirteen year old girl wore a yellow jacket, pink sleeveless shirt, a pink mini-skirt long white socks that stretched to underneath her knees, and pink shoes with yellow laces. This was Hotaru Hatsumi. Her blue eyes watched as her mother and father pulled up to her new school. Hotaru sighed as she had to leave her old friends behind. This was a new country with new set of laws. AS they get to the school she finds it odd that in the US, kids weren't required to wear uniforms in most Public Schools.
"Honey, are you okay?" her mother asked.
Hotaru turned to her mother sulking "Why did we have to move?"
"Sorry sweetie" her father answered "But it's mainly my job that's doing it. There's an opening on Quantico that needs me to be there. It's orders sweetie."
"It sucks" Hotaru muttered crossing her arms.
Her mother turned to her "Oh Hotaru, I know what you must be going through thinking that you'll miss your friends and life won't ever be the same. However you will make new friends...And your father is blessed to only have to move once."
"I suppose" Hotaru said.
The family stops the car once they get to the parking lot of the schoolyard, then they exit and quickly enroll Hotaru in the school. After getting enrolled in the school, Hotaru is shown to her new classroom by the guidance councilor. Once at the classroom the teacher walks to the door and meets Hotaru. The teacher turned to the class "attention class, we have a new student today from Japan."
All the students stop talking and Hotaru walks into the room. She looks around seeing all the other boys and girls. Two immediately stood out to her, one was a black boy with black hair, muscular, his hair was in dreadlocks, he wore black shirt, jeans, sport socks, and kleets. Then there was a blond haired girl with long blond hair, and green eyes. She wore a white dress and white boots.
"Don't be shy" The teacher told Hotaru "Introduce yourself little one."
Hotaru shyly at first took a deep breathe but spoke bowing "Good morning. My name is Hotaru Hatsumi and I look forward to settling into my new school."
"Morning Hotaru!" was the response from the class.
The teacher spoke "It's great to meet you Hotaru, now let's see where to seat you?"
The teacher scans the area spotting an opened seat, right next to the black boy and blond haired girl "How about right in between Darnel and Ashley?"
Hotaru followed the teacher's gaze and walked to her seat. She asks the two "Are you two Darnel and Ashley?"
"We are" Darnel the black boy said "I'm Darnel, I play on the school's football team."
"I'm Ashley!" Ashley said "Welcome to the US. Mainly Manassas Virgina."
Hotaru took her seat next to these two right in the middle of them. Almost immediately she felt as if these two would indeed become her new friends. The teacher looked at Ashely and Darnel "Keep in mind Hotaru just moved here today so please help her adjust to her new surroundings."
"Sure thing ma'am!" Ashley and Darnel said.
The teacher smiled "Now let's get into the lesson for the day."
Hotaru gets ready to learn the lesson for the day unaware her life would change again.
A man with a big afro was standing outside looking over the new area he himself was in charge of supervising over. He was dressed in a purple disco outfit. With him were two other boys and four Ludicolos. They stood at the man whom seemed to enjoy disco dances but he still had an objective which was to help Cipher deliver Shadow Pokemon into the Earth. Right now his two henchmen were carrying shipments of Shadow Pokemon. The blond haired one turned to the man "I'm surprised we weren't able to track down the escaped legendary Pokemon."
"Don't you worry about that!" the man told the boy "Let me worry about where those two Legendary Pokemon have been...And I have a plan to capture those legendary Pokemon."
"Does it involve dancing Miror B?" the second boy asked he had black hair.
The man stops and turned to one of his Ludicolos "Would you mind using Hydro Pump on him for me?"
The Ludicolo nodded and before the boy could do anything the Ludicolo unleashed its Hydro Pump at him flattening him onto the ground completely wet head to toe. The blond haired boy named Folly shook his head at the other one's stupidity "After all this time of working together with the Major. You'd think that you'd learn by now not to insult him with that question Trudley."
The man shook his head "No, my plan doesn't involve dancing at all...But of you two to unleash a Shadow Pokemon onto the civilians below at a specific time...The Earth still doesn't know about Cipher, or the Shadow Pokemon yet nor has defenses for them. If Latias and Latios are still around, they'd appear to save that individual from the Shadow Pokemon and that's when we'll secretly nab them once that individual is saved and brought to where ever those legendary Pokemon will take him or her."
"How do you suppose we follow them Miror B"
The major held up a teleporting cube "With this! With any luck we won't be just nabbing those legendary Pokemon for Loveria to turn into Shadow Pokemon but remember those two legendaries have that device they stole. So we'd be doing Cipher a lot of good! Now get ready and get into position then be prepared to strike!
"YES SIR!"
Twelve hours later, Hotaru with Ashley and Darnel with her was walking to their homes. Normally the school would've had eight hours but Hotaru had learned that during her lunch hour, that the school was having Gymnastics tryouts and Hotaru loved gymnastics and she was pretty good at it. So she participated in the first day of tryouts. Turns out Ashely was a cheerleader at her school and Darnel was on the school's football team so those two had practices to attend to allowing Hotaru to tryout for her school's gymnastics team. Hotaru felt she had done so well and impressed the school's gymnastics coach for the first day. Now that the activities were over Ashley, Darnel, and Hotaru were walking home. Each of them were quite tired for the day as it was a hard workout for all three of them.
"So...Hotaru" Ashley asked "How'd you do?"
"I think I impressed" Hotaru admitted "I've been doing that since I was six. How was your practice Ashley?"
"Decent" Ashley admitted "Till two of my teammates dropped me by accident due to mistiming the catch."
Darnel sighed "That seems to happen to every girl on the school team."
"It's a common trend that started recently" Ashley admitted.
"How was your practice?" Hotaru asked Darnel.
Darnel answered "Good, I even intercepted our own Quarterback three times."
"You are quite fast at the Safety position" Ashley admitted.
As the trio walked they were seen by Major B and his two henchmen. The major smiled "Talk about luck! School kids!"
He turned to his henchmen "Send down the Shadow Pokemon we just got."
"That giant one?" the blond haired one asked "It nearly flattened me and my partner!"
"DON'T ARGUE WITH ME SEND IT!"
"Yes sir, Miror B, Sir!"
The two boys kicked down a container and it rolled down the hill towards Ashley, Darnel and Hotaru. The trio heard something clattering against the ground. They turned around just as the container hit the ground at their backs a few feet away. Then the container erupted and a huge Centipede monster appeared.
"What…Is...That…?" Ashley asked terrified of the huge insect.
"Got me" Hotaru admitted taking a step back scared as well.
"Looks to be some sort of purple giant centipede" Darnel said.
"What do centipedes eat?" Ashley asked.
Hotaru answered weakly "Normally anything they can get their claws into, mainly bugs, maybe a mouse or rat...But a giant one like that...Might be able to eat us."
"LET'S NOT STAND HERE LADIES!" Darnel said seeing the huge monster prepare to attack them "AND RUN!"
The trio burst off running just in the nick of time for if they had been standing where they would've been, they would've been literally Steam Rolled. The giant centipede creature saw that the two had ran away and gave chase. The centipede was fast and seemed to close in real quickly, every time it would get in close and try to Steam Roll the trio they'd jump and avoid it. They would soon come to a split. Hotaru looked at Ashley and Darnel "Darnel, take Ashley with you and go one way! I'll go the other!"
"Alright but be careful that way may lead to a dead end!" Darnel said.
"Maybe true but there might be a way for me to get away from it" Hotaru said.
With this the three split up with Ashley and Darnel taking one way and Hotaru took the other way. The sudden split confused the giant centipede monster allowing it's targets to get some distance away. This was not meant to last as the giant centipede decided to chase Hotaru down the other end. Hotaru briefly stopped to catch her breathe hoping the centipede would've went after Ashley and Darnel but that hope was dashed when she heard the monster's feet hit the ground. She turned catching her breathe rapidly and fled seeing the monster come after her and she thought OH WHY ME?! I just moved here earlier today and now I might be eaten by this giant centipede! What horrible luck I have!
She ran down the path and came to a sudden stop as Darnel was right! It was a dead end and she muttered "Great..."
She looked to see if there was anything she could do to get away. True it was a dead end due to a wall being in front of her. Seeing her cornered the monster prepared to roll over her. It seemed to form into a ball and began rolling around in the ball. Hotaru could only watch as the beast came towards her ready to flatten her. As she is preparing for the worse, Hotaru looks at anything she could use to bat it back. Nothing, not even a large stick or club. Then just as she was prepared to die, there was a flash of light and two more creatures appeared. One was red and white while the other was blue and white. The two wasted no time and with their eyes glowing blue the two send the huge centipede flying for miles...And right onto the two henchmen of Major B.
The two boys groan flatten by the monster's weight with the blond muttering "What do you suppose did that to our Shadow Scolipede?"
"Certainly not the girl" the other one muttered.
Miror B knew returning the Scolipede to his own ball "Get up you idiotic buffoons! Latias and Latios are here! Now come on we gotta get to that girl before they disappear, the teleportation cube is only good when there's Psychic Pokemon nearby."
The two henchmen get up and follow Miror B.
Hotaru was grateful for the help. She had been saved by these two creatures. She bows to them as if giving them her thanks. Latias turned her head towards Latios and the two nod. They link to Hotaru's mind telepathically. Latias spoke first "I see my brother and I have arrived at the nick of time."
"Brother?" Hotaru asked.
Latios nods "Indeed, Latias over there is my sister."
Before Hotaru could ask Latias spoke "There's very little time to chat right now but please trust us. Climb onto ether of us and we're going to take you someplace where we can help explain things to you.
Hotaru didn't want another run in with that creature, she supposed it was still alive someplace and might come running towards her again. She climbed up onto Latias's back. That Latias seemed to chuckle commenting "You have good taste in selecting which of us to ride on! Now hold on tight!"
Hotaru held onto Latias carefully not wanting to strangle her and the two turned to towards the wall then with Hotaru on Latias, Latios opened a portal and the two disappear with Hotaru on Latias's back with Hotaru blacking out. Unaware Major B and his henchmen were right behind them following their every move, but Major B didn't count on one thing...How fast he'd be getting to Latias and Latios's area which could take hours compared to instantly like Latias and Latios.
"Latias, she might've picked you to ride on but you gotta slow down your speed when you have a rider. It's no wonder she blacked out."
"OH QUIET YOU!" the Latias said blushing in embarrassment at her brother's words"HOW DO WE KNOW IT WASN'T YOUR PORTAL MAKING ABILITY THAT DID IT"
Hotaru groans and opens her eyes to see Latias and Latios. The two legendary Pokemon look at her with the Latias speaking "So you're awake!"
"I think so" Hotaru muttered sitting upright then she saw a stone that seemed to have green energy coming from it "Where am I? and what is that?"
"You are safe for now Hotaru" the Latios told her "We are in Ageth Village, near it's Relic Stone."
Hotaru now got onto her two feet and walk towards the stone feeling an angelic like force coming from it "Strange...An angelic feeling rock."
"It has the power to free Shadow Pokemon by purifying them" Latias said.
"Shadow Pokemon? Does it have something to do with what chased me and my friends?"
"Indeed it was!" Latios explained "Shadow Pokemon were once normal Pokemon, but in short they have been brainwashed and somehow stronger than their normal selves...Their hearts are closed in darkness and they can and will attack people even fatally injuring them without a single thought. This Relic Stone has the power to allow a Shadow Pokemon to be purified by opening up it's heart...Although trainers need to lower their heart gages first to work properly."
"But I'm not a trainer!" Hotaru told them "I don't even know what that means."
Latias answered "True, you aren't a trainer but my brother and I three years ago escaped the ones that created these Shadow Pokemon to begin with known as Cipher. They plan to unleash their Shadow Pokemon over the Earth to take it over."
Hotaru blinks "Nuts...We have no trainer on Earth...So there's no way to purify these Shadow Pokemon...Earth is defenseless!"
"Defenseless?" the Latias stated then she continued then she looked at Hotaru's eyes "True, the Earth maybe defenseless but...There might be a way to save it.
"Really?" Hotaru asked then she noticed Latias staring into her eyes and soul "Why are you looking at me Latias?"
It wasn't just Latias, for Latios was also doing it and he agreed "Hotaru...Do you wish to save the Earth and stop Cipher's plans?"
"My father would do so immediately if he knew of the threat" Hotaru said "But I'm just one girl, and all I have to help maybe Ashley and Darnel."
Latias and Latios felt Major B coming this way and they look at Hotaru both claiming "We can see in your soul that you want to save others from these Shadow Pokemon...And your heart is pure...Almost as pure as the Relic Stone or even our own hearts. We have a device Dr. Kamiko made that was stolen by Cipher three years ago. No one has ever been able to wear it and wield it before but we believe you can."
"Really?" Hotaru asked "Where is it?"
"In the Relic Stone! There's not much time to see if we are right or wrong...Please stick your left arm into the Relic stone. And quickly! We're about to have company!"
Hotaru didn't like the sound of that. Not one bit. She fought her nervousness in her heart and bravely made the plunge. She raised her left arm and inserted it into the Relic Stone just as Major B appeared with his henchmen "Well, well, well, Latias and Latios, we meet at last! And that girl…hmm...What could she be reaching in that Relic Stone for?"
"Who are you?" Hotaru asked.
"He's Major B! He works for Cipher! Focus on getting that device...My brother and I will buy you time! He must not get the device for if Cipher gets it who knows if they can find a way to use it." that Latias said.
Hotaru nodded focusing.
Miror B watch as Latias and Latios prepare to defend themselves and Hotaru "Not going to get away are we? Well Latias and Latios, you've given Cipher the slip once too many times...but now prepare to be captured and turned into Shadow Pokemon."
Miror B turned to his two henchmen nodding. The two boys armed themselves with guns and before the legendaries could do anything about it, the boys pulled the trigger, ice came out of it as if the guns were pulling off an Ice Beam attack striking the two and freezing them solid.
"NO! LATIAS! LATIOS!" Hotaru shouts seeing this.
"Now to take them out of here and to Cipher!" Major B said then he eyed the girl "You can't do anything to stop me!"
Hotaru focused more and her hand struck something. A Rotom whom had been in the device saw the hand approaching and allowed Hotaru's hand to hit the object. Almost immediately there was a glow as the watch strapped itself on Hotaru's left wrist. Hotaru shrieks in panic pulling her arm out and the two boys saw what was on her wrist "Miror B! THE GIRL!"
Major B looked at the girl's left wrist "No! It can't be...The Rototrix!"
Hotaru looked at the device puzzled and the Rotom inside it spoke as if sensing the danger Latias and Latios were in "No time to explain girl! Time to get to work, save those two legendaries!"
Hotaru watched as the device activated and she raised her right arm turning to Major B "You won't get these legendaries to turn into Shadow Pokemon...I swear it!"
"Oh?" Major B asked "I bet you don't even know how to use that item..."
"No, I don't" Hotaru told him "But it won't stop me from using it."
She turned the watch and saw a creature and took her chance slamming the watch down. There was a flash of white light as a transformation began. First, Hotaru lost all of her clothes and natural hair color. Her body turned blue, grew giant Butterfly wings, she grew butterfly intennas and her eyes became red compound eyes of the butterfly. When the transformation had ended she seemed to announce whom she was "Buttefree!"
She looked at her reflection in the water.
"So that's what that device does" Miror B said "We'll just take you too girl!"
"You'll try!" Hotaru said and she took into the skies.
The henchmen try to blast at her and in fact they do but she was aware of it so after she dodged the blasts, she then comes right at them with a high flying Tackle to the their chests. The two scream as they go plowing head first into a tree getting knocked out.
MirorB shook his head "Then I'll have to this the harder way!"
He brought out his Pokeball "Let's see how good you are against this thing!"
He through it and out of the ball came out the Shadow Scolipede "Scolipede!"
Hotaru watched this creature feeling angry about this man "IT WAS YOU THAT SENT THIS THING ON ME AND MY FRIENDS!"
"Guilty as charged little girl!" Miror B told her "Now prepare to face off against a Shadow Pokemon! Go Scolopede...Roll Out!"
The giant centipede curled into a ball and comes at her. Hotaru took to the skies miraculously avoiding the damage. Instead of hitting her, the Scolopede hits the frozen Latias and Latios shattering off the ice. The two Psychic Legendaries now look to see what Hotaru was doing. In their eyes she was a Butterfree! Well a Butterfree girl. She was mostly a Butterfree but with human characteristics.
"So...The Rototrix worked!" Latias spoke to her brother.
"About time one invention of that crazy old man worked" Latios agreed.
Major B watched as the Shadow Scolipede looked at Hotaru whom came at it punching it with her fist! It didn't do much and it nearly bit her with it's jaws causing her to back away. She saw her wings glowing with powder of some kind and she decides to use it "Let's see what sort of powder I carry around!"
She unleashed her Sleep Powder attack over the Scolopede. It falls asleep immediately.
"Oh, that is so cool!" Hotaru said "I have Sleeping Powder in this form? Wicked!"
Her red eyes glow briefly blue as she lifts up the Scolopede and sent it hurdling at MirorB whom dodged it "Nuts! That was Psychic Attack!"
"I'll deal with that Scolipede later while it sleeps!" Hotaru said she came at Miror B "I'll just be taking you out!"
The Major managed to call out a Ludicolo whom she slams into tackling it. The major points "Hydro Pump her!"
Hotaru gasps watching as the Ludicolo opens it's mouth. She thought fast and jammed both fists into it's mouth to prevent it from firing the attack. It worked to a certain extent inflating the Ludicolo briefly but eventually just like a garden hose, her hands couldn't keep the water in for long and WOOSH! The Hydro Pump connected to her sending her crashing into a tree limb back first. She slumps down "That worked somewhat...But I'm not out yet!"
She flies into the air spreading her wings shaking them off of the water "Time to fall asleep Ludicolo! Face my Sleep Powder!"
She unleashed another Sleep Powder but this time it has no effect on Ludicolo "What the?"
Major B smirked "Sleep Powder, Stun Spore, and Poison Powder don't work on Grass Types now it's my turn...Ludicolo...Hydro Pump!"
The Ludicolo heard and obeyed but this time it missed her thanks for her being able to fly out of the attack's range then she aimed her wings vibrating them "Then let's see about this!"
She unleashed Bug Buzz at the Ludicolo, it covers it's ears as the attack hit "LUDI!" then it fainted.
"Sweet!" Hotaru told herself.
She watches as Miror B's henchmen get up and come at her this time having nets. She saw them coming and leaps out of their net's range even back flipping behind the two "You're not catching this Butterfree!"
The two turn but she manages to punch both of them towards their master then her wings glow again then she crosses her wings sending two Air Slashes out at them, the two Air Slashes formed an X striking the Major, his henchmen, the Shadow Scolipede, and the fainted Ludicolo sending both flying and back to Cipher's main base.
"I think she did it for her first battle brother!" Latias said.
"I believe she did! It came at a good time!" Latios said.
Hotaru lands on the ground surprised with her new transformation and it's power. There was a bright flash of white light as she turned back to normal "Okay...That was...Awesome!"
Latias turned to her and explained "That device you have on your wrist is the Rototrix. It contains D.N.A of Pokemon in it. Each Pokemon you choose has an advantage, a weakness, an ability and might have an immunity. You have only one Pokemon of each type to choose from, and those that are Duel Types like your first transformation ever Butterfree count as both Bug and Flying. The Rotom inside your Rototrix is capable of detecting Shadow Pokemon. It's also capable of purifying Shadow Pokemon as it has been hidden in the Relic Stone.
"Oops...I didn't purify that Scolipede" Hotaru muttered.
"No need to worry...That man will return with it" Latios said "But you'd probably want to purify the Shadow Pokemon as soon as you can next time."
"How do I purify these Shadow Pokemon?" Hotaru asked.
The Rotom explained "First you need to beat the Shadow Pokemon in Battle then stand next to it and allow me to handle the purification power."
"Okay" Hotaru said.
She looks at Latias "Thank you for saving me."
"You're welcome! Now that you have the Rototrix, it is up to you to save the Earth, use it to defeat and purify every Shadow Pokemon, and bring down Cipher, once and for all. Seriously...These guys don't ever give up!"
Hotaru giggled at the comment "Well I can assure you, they are messing with the wrong girl's home planet. I'll teach them to give up! Earth won't be there's but I have to get back."
"I'll take you home" Latias offered.
Hotaru decided to take her offer again "Okay, thanks!"
Hotaru climbs on top of Latias and after her brother opens the portal to Earth, she takes Hotaru back to her house. As they get to the Earth and towards Hotaru's house, Hotaru was determined to stop Cipher and their schemes. She didn't know how many Shadow Pokemon were around but she was determined to beat them all and purify them all...After all no being deserved to not have a pure heart. For Hotaru...This was all going to be a big adventure for her.
End of chapter
Yes, instead of going with prologue as I'd normally do, I've decided to base this fanfic on episodes. Hotarumon is officially a thing.To recap she has 14 different Pokemon species D.N.A within her thanks to her Rototrix. If any are wondering this fanfic is combining aspects of Ben 10, with some of Danny Phantom as in Hotaru's need to defeat, purify Shadow Pokemon, as well as defeating Cipher and other threats as well. What other Pokemon D.N.A lies within her? Big shout out thank you to Dragon Knight 15 by the way for helping with the suggestions on which Pokemon Hotaru can turn herself into. Well you're going to have to read the episodes. Next episode is, Episode 2: Feeling Haunted: After hearing rumors of a haunted house, Ashley, Darnel, and Hotaru investigate the home unaware that it is haunted by a ghostly Shadow...Could it be a Shadow Pokemon?
