Scout Junior

Chapter 1: A New World

Deep inside a forest in the Sinnoh region, we see a handful of young and happy Pokémon out and about. Running around, playing with one another, and just enjoying life as a free and wild Pokémon. Here we met one Pokémon in particular; a small and young male Buizel. About the normal size of any other Buizel, but he had somewhat of a cocky attitude. It's not like he even has a reason to be as arrogant since the area he's around most Pokémon don't battle one another unless a trainer were to come up and tried to catch that Pokémon. However, as cocky as the young Buizel is, he's very clever and very good at not getting captured of any trainer. Try as they must, no trainer has ever successfully caught this certain little Buizel as he refuses to stay inside a Pokémon. "Escape of faint trying!" as he would say to himself (that is if Pokémon could talk of course). I guess you could say that's the reason why this little guy is so cocky, but that still doesn't change the fact most Pokémon don't like his attitude. About the only thing this little Buizel couldn't do was ask out any girl Pokémon he liked.

He really liked this one Vulpix he would see in the afternoon around the lake everyday. He tried asking her our almost everyday, but every time it's always the same result. Buizel goes up to Vulpix, tries to ask her out, ends up freezing and jittering his words, she laughs, and then she walks away. Every night he would lay down wherever he decided to rest that night, thinking about that same Vulpix and new ways of trying to ask her out. He had a small picture of Vulpix that he would look at every time he'd thought about her. The picture was taken by a Pokémon photographer who came to visit one day but accidentally left his picture behind after being changed by a heard of Beedrills. The more he's think about her, the lonelier he gets. When he really thinks about it, it's not just the fact he doesn't know how to ask out a girl, but also that he really doesn't have any friends. Sure, he's arrogant but it's not like he's a big jerk and puts down any other Pokémon, but he does seem to boost about his own self more than any other should. It's a hard pill to swallow, but the young Buizel knows that he just might need to change his attitude sooner or later.

One day on a nice and sunny day, things were normal as usually for most of the Pokémon in the small forest, and Buizel was just lying down on the grass, looking up at the sky just watching the clouds. Suddenly, a roar of thunder echoed around the land as the sky began to darken and the sun was blocked by the dark clouds. All of the Pokémon around the area looked up in fear as they weren't sure what was going on. Inside the clouds, it looked like a dark shadow with glowing red eyes was coming. They all began to shake, and all of a sudden the legendary Pokémon, Giratina appeared and he didn't look happy one bit! All of the Pokémon began to scream and run away in fear as fast as they could. Buizel was frozen in fear as the wigged beast Pokémon flew closer to the ground, and closer to him. He finally snapped out of it and began to run away as quickly as he could with his stubby little legs. He ran as fast as he could, but Giratina was only getting closer to him with every passing second. The little guy tried to run even faster, but he ended up tripping on a tree root and landed right on his left paw, hurting it really badly. He held his paw, moaning in pain, and starting to tear up. Buizel looked up, and saw that Giratina was right above him. The young Buizel knew this was the end; this is how his young life was going to be over right then and there!

Just then the unthinkable happened. From the other direction, two more Pokémon were coming from the clouds. This time instead of red eyes they had a pair of blue and purple bright eyes. Emerged was the other legendary Pokémon from Sinnoh, Dialga and Palkia to stop Giratina's destruction. They flew down to help the defenseless Pokémon, but it didn't stop Giratina who still had his attention set on Buizel. Giratina was charging up an attack to strike Buizel with do at least some type of damage to the other Pokémon. Buizel was trapped, and wouldn't be able to move out of the way in time. Dialga and Palkia noticed the small Pokémon and also knew they wouldn't get to him in time. So, they used the only thing they could do to save Buizel and not putting him in any more danger. They combined their powers together to make a small portal appear underneath Buizel, which was too small for Giratina to fit though but just the right size for Buizel to go though. The little guy felt into the portal, which looked like a time vortex going though. Buizel scrammed in fear, not knowing where he would end up at the end of this. He realized wherever he was going would be a whole lot safer than were he was now, but what he didn't know was what was in store for him on the other side.

Meanwhile, at a whole other universe far away from the Pokémon world, we arrive at place called the Sawmill in a world known only as Mann's Land. Things look rather normal at this ordinary sawmill, but taking a look around it shows that it's more designed for a battlefield. At each end of the Sawmill, there are two groups of a total of nine men on each side. One side is known as RED, and the team is called BLU. We turn our attention to one man from the RED side; a man named Scout. Now he may not be the strongest one on the team, but he doesn't care if he is or not since his speed, agility, and his ability to hurt you in more ways than one is reason enough for you to watch your back with him around. At lease that's what he tells everyone, and he's not wrong about it. Before the mayhem started, RED gathered around to go over their plan.

"Ahem, gentlemen," said a sharply dressed man named Spy. "We all know why we're here."

"To blow shit up and kick some ass!" yelled out a man named Solider.

"Well yes, but more than just that. To capture BLU's insurgence and bring it back to our headquarters. To do that I want Heavy, Solider, and Pyro to charge at BLU's base so I can slip in undetected and take the briefcase. The rest of you will stay here and defend our intelligence. Does anyone have a question before the mission starts?"

"Yeah, I do have a question!" said Scout, as he stood up looking at Spy. "Why am I left to defend when I can get the briefcase faster than you can?"

"The last time you went to go get the intelligence you were blown up by a sentry. As much as I love seeing your body parts fly across the room on a daily basic, failure isn't an option!"

"I can execute this plan better than you can and you know it, wise guy."

"Is that so?"

"Yeah, it is so!"

"Hmm, I'll make a bet with you then, Scout. You can lead the attack and retrieve the intelligence. If you come back and succeed, I will take back everything I've ever said about you and even will even say you're better than me."

"You mean that?"

"I may be a backstabber, but I'm still a man of my word. I will say it in front of you and every man in this room with us right now."

"You got a deal, Spy."

Mission begins in ten seconds!

RED loaded their guns and readied themselves for the upcoming warfare. Scout was with the men he was going to charge the base at with. He felt ready for this, Scout felt that this was the perfect plan to prove Spy wrong once and for all and prove he's the better man.

Five…four…three…two…one!

The sound of a siren began to make noise as the doors opened and men rushed out for battle. Scout took off with his squad to BLU's location of their intelligence. They rushed inside the Sawmill main center of the map, already half way to the briefcase. They were greeted by BLU's Demoman, Sniper, and Engineer. The Engineer set down his tool box to let his sentry gun begin building as the Demoman defended him with his grenade launcher. RED's Solider and Heavy took aim and fired at the two members of BLU, but couldn't get a clear shot as they took cover behind the moving saw blade. Scout and Pyro went up the stairs to the right to attack from above, but BLU's Sniper was still there as he took aim and shot his gun. Scout was quick enough to dodge the bullet but Pyro wasn't as he took the shot right to the head and dropped dead. Scout took aim at the Sniper as the assassin was trying to reload his gun and shot him twice in the torso and was able to kill him. He looked down as Solider was crouched trying not to take any more damage from Demoman and Engineer. Things only got worst as BLU's Solider ran in to aid his allies and make RED's job that much harder. "Go Scout! I'll keep them busy!" shouted Heavy. Scout simply nodded and kept going without them. The plan was already looking like a bust, but that didn't distract Scout from his objective.

Scout ran inside BLU's base and the location of their intelligence. He looked around and was surprised not to see anyone inside, and even hear any splashes of footsteps besides his own. Other than the briefcase, he noticed one of BLU's teleporters. It was making that noise of someone coming though, which made Scout take aim. He was ready for any BLU scum to appear so he can kill them. However, a member of BLU's team didn't come out of the teleporter, but instead it was Buizel. Scout let out a gasp as he took a closer look at the strange creature. Buizel gasped as well as he looked around looking very confused and scared. Scout put his hand out to let Buizel sniff it, but he didn't want to since he is a Pokémon and not a dog. Buizel noticed Scout's weapon and put his paws up. He had an unhappy look on his face as if he was ready to fight Scout. But quickly let out a little noise of pain as he started to hold his left paw again.

"Hey, it's okay," said Scout. "I'm not going to hurt you, I you I promise. That paw of yours look pretty bad. I have a friend that could help with that. He's a human doctor but I'm sure he can still fix you up."

Buizel looked at Scout, who had a smile on his face. The Pokémon smiled back and nodded at the man. However, his smile quickly went away as another came appeared right behind Scout and aimed a gun right at the back of his head.

"That's far enough, Scout," said the man holding the gun.

Scout turned his head a little to see who it was. It was BLU's Spy. "Now just lay your gun down on the ground, and I promise to make your death quick."

Scout put his gun down as he looked the Pokémon in the eyes. Buizel had the look of fear on his face. He may have had a cocky attitude, but given the current situation he didn't want to do anything to get himself shot. As Scout placed his gun on the ground, he gave Buizel an assuring look with a smirk on his face as he put stood up with his hands raised. Spy cocked his gun, ready to fire. Suddenly with quickness, Scout back kicked Spy in the leg, quickly reached for his baseball bat, turned around and whacked Spy right in the face. BONK! Making Spy drop his weapon in the water and unable to find it due to being stunned by the bat. Scout quickly reached for his pistol and shoot Spy right in the face, killing him with a single shot. He put his bat away and used his one free hand to pick up Buizel. The Pokémon didn't fight or resist the aid from Scout and allowed the man to pick him up. Scout had to leave, but then remembered why he came here in the first place; to get BLU's intelligence. As he thought about it, he ran out of time as he heard Heavy's voice coming his way, but it wasn't the same Heavy from his team. It was BLU's Heavy weapons guy. "I'm here for you little man!" he yelled. Scout ran to the other exit, avoiding any bullets being shot his way, but that exit was blocked too with BLU's Pyro now in the way with his flamethrower. Scout was trapped, armed only with his pistol and trying to carry a Pokémon in his other hand. Scout only had one option and if it didn't work he would be killed, which isn't a problem for him since he'll just respawn within fifteen seconds but he wasn't so sure about the little guy. He didn't want to take that risk, so Scout did what he had to do. He ran to Heavy, who was all ready to fire his mini-gun, but before he could Scout ran up and kicked Heavy right in the testacies! Bring the big man down to his keens. The Pyro was right behind them, and Scout high tailed it out of BLU's base as fast as he could.

Alert! The enemy has captured our intelligence!

As much as Scout wanted to do something about the stolen intelligence, he couldn't right now with trying to get Buizel back RED's base and getting the hell out of Sawmill with him okay. He did his best to avoid any BLU teammate and he was able to do just that and keeping the little guy safe. As he entered the safety of the base, he saw his teammates there already. Looking banged up, and very angry.

"Well that didn't go as planned," said Scout.

"What the hell was that, maggot?" yelled out Solider, "You were right there with BLU's intelligence but you didn't take it! WHY?"

"You think I didn't want to? I was going to take it but this thing showed up on BLU's teleporter and-"

"He came out of BLU's teleporter?" interrupted Spy. "Scout, that creature could be a spy for BLU!"

"What? No! Spy, come on now. I found him injured and scared when BLU's Spy showed up and almost killed me. There's no way he's a spy!"

"Well there's only one way to find out," said Solider, as he took out his shotgun and aimed it at Buizel.

"Hey! Hey! Hey!"

"Everyone shut the hell up!" said Sniper, coming in between Scout and Solider. "Listing you bloody wankers! BLU's going to be any second now to kill us all now that they have our intelligence, and we're in no condition to fight back. As for this little…whatever he is, we'll worry if he's a spy later. If Scout says he's just an animal that needs our help then I don't see anything wrong with it. Now everyone get their asses on the truck and let's head headquarters!"

Everyone just looked each other, but nodded in agreement that they needed to get out. They made a run for the truck and went back to headquarters. Scout got in the passenger seat, holding Buizel in his arms. Buizel's been though one hell of a day. First almost getting killed by Giratina, and now almost getting killed by a bunch of humans. He held on to Scout tightly, beginning to cry on his shirt. Scout felt really bad for the little guy, which is something he often doesn't feel at all for anyone else since he kills people just about everyday. Heavy got in the driver seat as looked at Scout and Buizel. He noticed the small creature crying and patted him on the head with his enormous hand. Buizel jumped a little as he didn't see Heavy's hand coming in, but he began to calm down afterwards. Heavy smiled warmly at the little guy and started the truck and drove off. Buizel, while still in pain and crying, started to feel a bit safer now. He may be around people who think he's dangerous, but at the same time he's around people that he could become very close to.
