This was never supposed to happen. When I first came up with the idea, it was only to illustrate the sheer absurdity of certain crossovers, but the idea wouldn't go away, so here's this ficlet is for you to enjoy! (Oh, there are two or three slightly "bad" words in here, but I didn't really think that they deserved upping the rating, so this is your warning in regards to those.)

I'd just like to say in a final note that it was really a lot of fun doing all the research on the Pokémon to make this as accurate as possible XD!

"Shuichi, stop it!" a voice called from a distance.

The pink haired boy jumped and spun around quickly, the words, "I wasn't doing anything!" already past his lips before he could identify who was speaking to him.

"Yes, you were. Now, stop agitating the Tauros! You're going to get yourself trampled to death!" Suguru continued, making his way over to him with Hiro and K not too far behind him.

"It's penned up," Shuichi muttered, glancing back over his shoulder at the snorting, irritated bull Pokémon pawing at the ground. "Oh, come on!" Shuichi exploded, yelling at the Pokémon. "I'm not THAT annoying!"

The Tauros responded by charging the fence separating it from Shuichi and attempting to mow both the fence and Shuichi down.

"Eek!" Shuichi shrieked, tripping and diving to the ground as he tried to escape the angry Pokémon that, luckily for Shuichi, stayed cooped up behind the wooden posts.

Off in the distance, K and Hiro were laughing their asses off while Suguru, who purposely suppressed his mirth, goaded, "I told you to stop."

"It was behind a fence!" Shuichi shouted back from where he was sprawled on the ground, totally outraged.

"Then, why did you run away?" K asked, smirking, sunglasses hiding his eyes from sight.

"You mean try to run away, right, K?" Hiro joked.

"Shut up! You're supposed to be my friend, Hiro!" he yelled, overdramatic tears streaming down his cheeks from his giant, wet anime eyes.

"I'm still your friend. Just because you're an airhead doesn't mean I'm not your friend," Hiro said, reaching Shuichi and offering him his hand.

"Hmph." Shuichi turned his head away. "I don't want help from someone who thinks I'm an airhead." He began to uber-pout.

"So, you're going to stay down there until someone comes along that doesn't think you're an airhead?" K queried a few steps away from the two.

"YES!" Shuichi declared.

"You're going to be down there a long time, then," Suguru stated, glaring down at Shuichi. Suguru's Seadra, whose tail wrapped around Suguru's upper arm kept it in place, shared in the glaring.

The Seadra had been a gift from Suguru's cousin, Tohma, to protect him after he'd joined Shuichi and Hiro in their quest to "catch 'em all". It hadn't been his choice to join; his cousin had made him.

Shuichi and Hiro had joined the company NG, a commercial effort to catch as many Pokémon as possible and to promote teams of successful trainers, because they'd wanted the adventure it promised. They'd become some of the best trainers around quite by accident, not actually making a conscious effort to do anything more than their personal best and have fun as they did so. Nevertheless, news of their success had reached the ears of NG president Tohma Seguchi, who'd attached Suguru, a passable trainer on his own, to their team. He'd also taken away the previous manager of their team, Sakano, instead placing Sakano at the base to wait and care for the Pokémon they brought in. K had become their manager after that, demanding the position and abandoning his prior team, the legendary Ryuichi Sakuma and Noriko Ukai, who could function quite well on their own by now.

"Don't be mean, Suguru," Hiro lightly reprimanded. "Come on, Shuichi. We need to get a move on—"

"NO!"

Suguru scoffed. "Don't be such a baby—"

"NO!"

"Shuichi, I suggest you get up soon. Doing so in the next five seconds would be wise of you," K calmly suggested, peeling his sunglasses off and crossing his arms over his chest, then, leaning against the Tauros, completely without fear of the pen's occupant.

All three of the trainers went quiet, as they always did when K made such a pronouncement.

Even though they all knew what would happen, Suguru began, "What will you do if he doesn't—?"

"Blastoise, I choose you!" Ripping a pokeball from inside his back pocket, K hurled it up the air, and it erupted to release the huge Pokémon contained within.

"Blastoise," the Pokémon moaned out.

"Wait, wait! I'll get up! Wait!" Shuichi cried out, desperately attempting to scramble to his feet and escape the consequences of his little tantrum.

"Blastoise, water canon attack!" K commanded sadistically.

"Blastoise," the Pokémon responded thunderously, bracing its feet against the ground and aiming its revealed canons directly at Shuichi… and Hiro and Suguru who were standing near him.

"K, no! Stop! Wait!"

"Oh, my God! K! What the hell?"

"Eeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaahhh!"

The blast of water hit, and all three trainers went flying with the force of it, K laughing all the while in the background.

"You bastard, K!" Suguru shouted once the water canon let up. Hiro was sitting up, coughing up water several feet away from him, and, even further beyond Hiro, Shuichi was curled into the fetal position, arms up protecting his head and face, not taking any chance that the onslaught was truly over.

"Come on, Suguru. At least your Seadra liked the soaking," K laughed. It was true: the Seadra was preening its snout down the fins on its back, as close to having a pleased expression as a Seadra was capable of having.

"Goddamn water Pokémon," Hiro cursed, voice hoarse from the coughing. Hiro himself was a fire Pokémon trainer and already predisposed to not like the water-types. Having to deal with K's Blastoise and Suguru's often vicious and always hateful Seadra just reinforced the dislike.

Suguru, who was already up and shaking his arms to flick off the excess water, called out nastily, "Now will you get up Shuichi? …Shuichi?"

"I'm scared," came the squeak from the curled up ball of Shuichi.

"You got blasted because you didn't get up, you idiot! Getting up will, therefore, not get you soaked again. So, get up!" Suguru shouted, finally cracking completely.

"That's not what I'm scared of," came the second squeak.

Suguru turned away with a throaty sound of fed-up disgust, his Seadra glaring back at Shuichi, emitting a low, barely recognizable, "Dra."

"Yes, yes, we all hate you, too, Seadra," Hiro said, waving flippantly waving his hand, dismissing the bad-tempered Pokémon as he made his way over to his friend.

Reaching him, Hiro squatted down and asked, "So, what are you so scared of that you don't want to go anywhere, Shuichi?"

"Mm… I don't want to talk about it," the ball that was Shuichi quickly muttered.

"It might help," K said in a sing-song voice, coming up to the two, Blastoise following with a heavy gait.

"Mm…"

"Come on, Shuichi," Hiro tenderly coaxed. Shuichi lifted his head from his arms so that only his emotive, purple eyes peeked out.

"Just spit it out, airhead," Suguru spat, coming back over to the huddling group.

"No," Shuichi said, popping his head back behind his arms.

K sighed. "I guess I'll just have to use my Blastoise again."

"No!" the three shouted in unison, Hiro and Shuichi suddenly leaping to their feet, ready to flee.

"Heh." K smirked, crossing his arms once again. "Are you going to tell or not, Shuichi?"

They all focused on him again.

"Well…" he began.

"Yeees?" K enticed, leaning in.

"I… I sort of met someone," he admitted.

Looking up, he saw all three of them had looks of utter disbelief and shock on their faces.

"You… what?" Hiro asked.

"Okay, I guess I really didn't "meet" someone, but I did meet him, you know, for the first time," Shuichi blathered. "And… and he was cool, and he was handsome, and he was tall, and he was hot, and he had the most amazing eyes, and… and… and he HATES ME!" Shuichi broke down in tears right before their very eyes.

"Shuichi, you… you mean to say you…" Hiro wasn't even sure what he was supposed to be asking, he was so confused.

"I didn't even know he was gay," Suguru said quietly, mystified, to his Seadra.

"Dra…" the Pokémon responded, eyes wide.

"How do you know he hated you, Shuichi?" K questioned, taking control.

"He… he just did! He was mean and rude, and he told me that I wasn't a very good trainer—"

"How would he know if you were a good trainer or not?" Suguru asked, miffed that someone in his team would be considered anything less than great.

"Well…" And, now, Shuichi got really quiet, knowing he was in for it. "I had my Jynx out, and—"

"WHAT?" Hiro shouted.

"You were told never to bring that Pokémon out, Shuichi. Ever!" Suguru scolded violently. Seadra gave several emphasized, loud, growling "Dra's".

K paled and took several slow, unsteady steps back from Shuichi and a certain pokeball housed in Shuichi's vest.

Shuichi's Jynx wasn't something normally to be feared. If anything, it was probably weaker than many other Jynx's in the region, if not world. But, something, the team didn't know what, had gone wrong in Jynx's evolution from a Smoochum, and, now, the Jynx had a nasty attitude, almost unheard of in the species, and a strange, unexplainable attraction towards… K.

Shuichi's Jynx held a very prominent role in the nightmares that attacked K in his sleep.

"The moment we get back to NG, you're getting rid of that thing, you hear, Shuichi?" K said weakly, mostly to himself.

Shuichi bobbed his head up and down quickly. "Right, right, I know. But, while I still had her, I figured I might as well give her a chance to stretch and breathe some fresh air; it would be cruel to keep her confined for the entire trip!" he defended himself.

Not one of his teammates agreed with him. That Jynx was a menace, the end.

"So, you had your Jynx out…" Hiro encouraged the telling of the story.

"Well, I think it's because he had yellow hair, like K…" K paled even more so.

"The guy who you met but didn't "meet"?" Hiro clarified.

"Yes, him. But… she just kind of went ballistic and tried to go after him," Shuichi said, a still fairly horrified look on his face over what had happened.

"Oh, God," Suguru muttered, face-palming himself. "No wonder he hates you."

"And, then, what?" Hiro asked, wondering if he really wanted to know.

"I tried to grab her, I really did, but… she kind of over-powered me. And, when I called out my Staryu, she just brushed off its water attacks…" Hiro's left eye began twitching with the sheer… lack of common sense Shuichi had shown, as well as the general dismay the tale inspired. He swallowed.

"And, then…?"

"I lost control." When he got no response to the statement, Shuichi continued, "Of everything."

… A cricket chirped in the distance…

"What else do you expect me to say?" he burst out.

"What happened to the man?" Suguru asked, frustrated that he had to. K, who'd been quiet the whole time, gave a slight nod.

"Oh, you see, just in the nick of time, he called out his Victreebel and caught my Jynx—"

"Oh, thank god!" K rasped out, almost sinking to the ground with relief that the man had escaped the terror that was Shuichi's Jynx, only being kept upright by his Blastoise standing behind him and catching him.

"Blastoise."

"No!" Shuichi argued. "It was horrible; the thing tried to eat my Jynx!"

"And, it should have," K shouted back from his Blastoise's arms. "Good riddance to the thing is what I would have said had it been eaten. That's it; tomorrow we're heading back to NG to get rid of that demented Pokémon, do you understand?"

They all nodded, readily agreeing to whatever K wanted when he was like this. Being sprayed by Blastoise's canon was hard enough to handle once a day, let alone twice. Plus, the first time, which was also the last and only time they'd disagreed with K when he'd been in this particular mood, not only had they gotten soaked by Blastoise, but K had also called out his Hitmonchan and had it chase them all up a tree and keep them there all night, occasionally waking them by having it punch the base of the tree in a staccato rhythm that fiercely made its way up the tree to where they'd "slept", almost shaking them down to the waiting fighting-type Pokemon.

It was understandable why they never disagreed with K again when he was like this.

"Good," K stated, heaving himself from arms of his Blastoise and returning it to its pokeball. He turned to look back at and address them all. "Now, let's get a move on. I want to find a phone to call Sakano with and let him know we're coming, and to warn him get all blondes off the premises." He turned around and began walking along the country lane that ran beside the Tauros pen.

Suguru rolled his eyes at the silliness being displayed about him and shared a look of annoyance with his Seadra before he began following the team's manager.

Hiro and Shuichi formed the rear of the group, trouping behind the other two side by side.

"So, what happened after that?" Hiro asked quietly to Shuichi.

Shuichi looked up at him with a confused frown between his eyebrows.

"With the guy? After his Victreebel brought your Jynx's rampage to a standstill, what happened?" he spelled out, looking ahead rather than at Shuichi. "I mean, no offense, but right before you told us he hated you, you seemed to be on the verge of fan-girling all over the guy."

"I'm not a fangirl," Shuichi stated sulkily, turning his poutiful face away from his accuser.

"No, you're not, if only by a simple anatomical error." Hiro's face was completely serious as he said this.

Shuichi was on the verge of letting Hiro have it, when the emotions he'd felt while in the presence of the Victreebels's trainer resurfaced.

He sighed deeply.

"It's just… I know I'm a good trainer, even if the guy says I'm not. After all, what does he know? But, it's stuff like what happened with Jynx that sometimes make me think otherwise."

"But, that's the one Pokémon, Shuichi, not all of them—"

"Yeah, I know, but then, in front of this guy, I also try to use Staryu to get Jynx to stop. Staryu? I tried to use a water-type Pokémon against a Jynx. I mean, what the hell was I thinking?" Shuichi threw his arms up into the air, bringing them back down to cover his head. "It's no wonder the guy thought I was a bad trainer. And, that's exactly what he said, too, that I was a bad trainer."

"The man knows nothing about you, Shuichi." Shuichi looked over to his friend, who was looking down on him with great kindness in his eyes. "He knew you for five minutes at the most it sounds like. He doesn't know a thing, and you can't let his words get to you like this. You're an excellent trainer, and each and every one of your Pokémon, besides Jynx, would say the same if they could." Shuichi's eyes filled with emotion for a moment, but then it all went away.

"I know… but, when I looked into his eyes, at first I saw disdain there, but… beyond that… they were so beautiful…" Shuichi trailed off, looking down at the ground passing beneath his feet, not really seeing it. "I want to believe everything that the man with those eyes says, Hiro. I can't explain it more than that."

Hiro looked down at his friend, compassion warring with practicality inside of him…

Draping his arm around his friend's shoulders and getting a confused look for it, he asked Shuichi, "Did he give you any clues as to where he was going after your little scrap?"

"Uh…" Shuichi was completely dazed for a moment, thinking back to earlier that day. Then, a spark lit in his eyes. "Yes! He was at the top of a hill when Jynx went after him, and he left before I did, so I was able to see where he went once he left. He took that road where we were attacked by all those Zubats and its evolutions, remember it?"

"Yeah. It goes through the forest and along the cliffs and rivers. It doesn't have any turnoffs, and…" Shuichi waited for him to continue with wide, expectant eyes. "… it's on the way to NG."

It dawned it Shuichi's mind. He gave a drastic inhale of glee. "If we can convince K to take that route back to NG, we might be able to catch up with him!"

Hiro nodded. "And, once we do, we can prove to him that you're not a trainer to be messed with."

"La li hoooooooooooooooooo!" Shuichi shouted in fantastical, exuberant delight. "K! I have an idea, K!"

Hiro shook his head, a grin on his face, as Shuichi rushed ahead to tell K "his" idea…

How was it? Keep in mind that this was an attempt to be purely juvenile and to have fun doing so. I haven't had anything to do with Pokémon for years, and I actually didn't watch that many episodes of it when I did. But, like I said, it was a hell of a lot of fun researching and writing this, and there are going to be two more chapters, so keep that in mind!
