Okay so basically I had started this ages ago, but got way too busy to carry it on. However now I have some free time again I'm starting it back up and hopefully people will read it and enjoy it!
Writer's Note – This takes place during the Season Two episode "Furt"
Chapter One - Rehearsal
"What the hell are you playing?" A female voice snapped at Artie. He sighed and looked up at the temperamental cheerio staring him down.
"What's it to you Santana?" he asked her as she glared at him.
"I'm just curious Christopher Reeves, that's all." Santana sneered. She glanced over to the blonde Cheerio sitting beside Artie. "Cause whatever you're playing seems to have really got Brittany's attention." Artie looked over at Brittany who to his surprise was staring at his game, completely engrossed.
"It's a poaching game," Brittany began to explain. "Artie's going around and kidnapping loads of funny looking animals."
"It's a Pokémon game Brittany." Artie smiled at her. Brittany then frowned.
"So you poke them then poach them?"
"No that's what all the creatures are called, they're Pokémon. You go through the game catching different kinds and you battle gyms with them to collect badges."
"I don't get it." Brittany stared blankly at the DS screen.
"Sure you do, I explained it all to you remember?" Artie smiled affectionately.
"Sort of." Brittany frowned.
"Don't worry Brit, you don't need to understand." Santana smirked. "Pokémon is for little kids. Surely you should have grown out of it by now wheels?"
"Whatever I like it, no matter how sad you find it." Artie smirked back at her. He was starting to get really annoyed with Santana. Brittany was with him now and Santana just had to start getting used to it. I don't even know why she gets so jealous, Artie thought. After all she still sleeps with Puck at any opportunity she can get.
"Which version are you playing?" Sam called out as he walked from across the room with Quinn in tow.
"Soul Silver." Artie replied. "Do you play?"
"Of course" Sam grinned. "I've just restarted my Platinum again. After I traded all my Pokémon to my Diamond of course." Quinn turned to Sam with complete shock.
"You play Pokémon?" She asked him.
"Yeah, why don't you?" Sam looked at her puzzlingly while Quinn frowned and shook her head.
"Sam baby, remember our talk?" Quinn smiles softly at him. "If you're going to be Homecoming King you need to stop playing these dorky little games and speaking Na'vi or whatever because no one's going to vote for a geek."
"But I like playing them." Sam protested.
"Well you're going to have to stop." Quinn stated bluntly. Sam dropped his head while Quinn turned to Santana. "Where the hell is everyone?"
"I don't know but they better get here soon I do not want to go home in that weather!" Santana looked out the window with the others as they noticed the huge storm clouds that were beginning to form. Behind them Tina and Mike suddenly walked through the door.
"Sorry we're late…" Tina began to speak. "We were having dinner."
"Where are Kurt and the others?" Mike asked.
"They should be here soon." Artie replied. He wheeled himself over to the piano and put his Nintendo DS on top of it. He then picked up his guitar and began to tune it while Santana groaned in the corner.
"I don't know why Kurt wants to do another rehearsal. It's simple, we walk down the aisle in pairs, sing some Bruno Mars and there you go."
"Well it is his dad's wedding so obviously he wants to make sure it's perfect." Tina told her as she sat down with Mike.
"Whatever. I hate being in school when I don't need to be." Santana sat down beside Brittany who patted her on the back.
"It's okay," Brittany told her. Santana started to smile.
"Thanks Brit."
"Artie can I play the poaching game?" Brittany asked him.
"Sure you can." Artie grinned at her.
"Thanks." Brittany stood up and walked towards Artie to take the DS. "You're the best boyfriend ever." Brittany kissed him on the cheek and took the DS while Santana pretended to vomit. At that moment the door opened and four people walked in. Finn was arm and arm with Rachel acting all lovey dovey while Kurt and Mercedes were walking behind them.
"About time!" Santana snapped.
"Sorry the weather's getting really bad. The rain just won't stop." Kurt sat down and tried to dry his hair the best he could.
"Yeah it's like the day after tomorrow out there!" Mercedes said sitting beside him.
"Come on everybody there's no time to talk about the weather! We've got a wedding to perform tomorrow and everyone is still missing their cues or singing at the wrong time!" Rachel started telling them all. "Well everyone except me of course, but after all that's because you all lack…"
"… my years of training." The rest of them finished the sentence with her. Rachel looked taken aback for a second before regaining herself.
"Well it's true."
"Wait where's Puck?" Finn wondered. Just then Puck walked into the choir room completely drenched from head to toe as lightning flashed outside.
"Dudes it is getting Apocalypse crazy out there. I've never seen it that bad." Puck shook himself off. "So are we going to do this thing cause I just want to get home and…"
Lightning suddenly flashed directly in front of them and the windows began to smash.
"What the hell!" Kurt screamed. Rain rapidly stated to pour through the windows.
"Let's get the hell out of here!" Artie screamed. They all ran for the exit when the wind suddenly got so strong that it knocked Artie back out of his chair.
"Artie!" Brittany shrieked. All of them turned around and went back to help him. Quinn and Puck got there first; picking Artie up while Quinn grabbed his wheel chair.
"What the hell is that?" Mercedes yelled. They all froze and turned to look as a giant wave of light headed towards them.
"RUN!" Finn screamed. They all begin to move when suddenly the wave of light hit them all and the entire Glee Club fell backwards, oddly slowly before all of them lost consciousness.
X-X-X-X
Artie was dreaming. He knew it had to be a dream as his toes were moving. The sun was shining hotly down on him and he could see birds flying overhead. This is definitely a dream, Artie thought. Because those birds look way too much like a flock of Pidgey. Maybe I am playing too much Pokémon lately. Artie sat up and looked around the scenery. He was in the middle of a field somewhere and the sky was clear and blue. This feels real though. Can't be though it was just raining like crazy. He shook his head and started standing up to… WAIT! I'm stood up. Artie looked down at his legs and saw that he was in fact stood up.
"I'm stood up." Artie muttered in disbelief. He then moved his foot anxiously and was completely gob smacked. "Oh my god, I can walk. It's a miracle I can walk! YES!" Artie started to run around the field and began jumping like a maniac. "I CAN WALK! I CAN WALK!" He began to laugh when he suddenly heard a scream in the distance. He pauses and looked towards the direction of where the scream had come from. "Brittany," he thought aloud. Artie started to get panicked and suddenly began running towards the direction of the scream. He ran for a couple of minutes as the screams got louder and louder, until he ended up in the middle of a clearing and saw a blonde girl cowering in fear.
"Brittany I'm here!" Artie announced before pausing when he saw the girls face. It wasn't Brittany. It was Quinn.
"HELP ME!" Quinn shrieked at the top of her voice.
"From what?" Artie asked her looking puzzled.
"THAT!" Quinn screamed pointing directly behind him. Artie turned around and quickly ducked as a large stinger went straight towards his face. He rolled to the floor and looked up at the thing that attacked him, a large giant Bee like creature.
"No way!" Artie gasped in complete disbelief.
"Beedrill!" The creature screamed as it flew directly towards him, getting ready for a second poison sting attack. Artie quickly jumped down to the ground again as the creature went straight past him.
"This can't be possible, it's not possible!" Artie stammered. The Beedrill then turned around and faced him again. It then charged for a third time when something could unexpectedly be heard shouting out in the distance.
"Pika-CHU!" A voice screamed. Artie and the Beedrill both turned around towards the direction of the noise as a large yellow bolt of lightning headed straight towards them. The lighting then hit the Beedrill violently as it started to shake with all the electricity that was running through it. When it stopped the Beedrill quickly off into the distance, determined to escape. Artie just stood there in shock.
"Jesus Christ." He muttered in complete disbelief. Suddenly a voice spoke from behind him.
"Artie?" They said. Artie jumped, completely having forgot Quinn was there.
"Quinn! Are you okay?" He asked.
"Yeah I'm fine, just. That thing nearly got me with its stinger. I've never seen a … wait a sec…? You're standing?" Quinn looked at Artie completely gob smacked that she hadn't noticed it before.
"Oh yeah I know," Artie replied, not managing to stop himself grinning from ear to ear. "I'm kind of surprised as well."
"Yeah." Quinn nodded before looking around. "Artie where the hell are we?"
"I don't think you'd believe me if I tell you."
"What?" She stared at him puzzled.
"Well you know that bee that just attacked us?"
"Yeah."
"That isn't just any old bee. It's a… well… it's a Pokémon." Artie paused for a moment, waiting for the dramatic effect to take hold when he noticed Quinn crossing her arms and glaring at him.
"Well duh like I hadn't figured that out already?"
"Really?"
"Yes I used to play Pokémon like everyone else did, years ago obviously when it was still cool. I recognised that thing as soon as I saw it, it's a Weedle right?" She asked him. Artie sighed and shook his head.
"Nope you're close though, it's a Beedrill, and it's the final form of Weedle."
"Whatever. What I meant was where the hell are we? Because last time I checked Pokémon were not real."
"My only guess is that we're in the Pokémon world. Maybe we got transported into my game when that wave of light hit us or something."
"Do you know how ridiculous that sounds?" Quinn glared at him.
"About as ridiculous as the fact that you were almost poison stinged by a Beedrill and I can currently walk." Artie shrugged. Quinn looked down to the floor realising he had a point. She stayed silent as Artie looked at the clearing around them, trying to recognise something. "So logically if we have somehow been transported into my Soul Silver Pokémon game then that would mean that we are somewhere in the Johto region."
"That means nothing to me. Can we get back home?" Artie looked into Quinn's eyes and he could see she was starting to get a bit teary. Oh great, I so do not want to deal with that right now.
"Sure." Artie lied. "I'm not exactly sure how yet but we must be able too. First things first we need to find the others cause if you and me are here then everyone else must be around here too." Quinn quickly wiped her tears away and started to calm herself down.
"You're right they all must be here somewhere. Come on we better go find them." Quinn started to walk off and Artie went to follow when he suddenly paused and looked around. "What is it?" Quinn asked.
"The electric attack that hit the Beedrill," Artie said staring in the direction the attack had come from.
"Oh yeah I forgot." Quinn said staring in the same direction too.
"It sounded like a Pikachu. Maybe it was a Pokémon Trainer?"
"So what if it was?"
"Then they might be able to help us! Come on lets go find them!" Artie suddenly started running off and Quinn shouted after him.
"Artie! Wait a second! Artie!" Quinn said clearly annoyed as she began running after him. "I think I preferred it when you couldn't walk."
X-X-X-X
God I'm hungover… how much did I have to drink? Come to think of it I don't even remember drinking anything. Santana suddenly opened her eyes and looked at the scenery around her. All she could see was large trees blocking out the sun.
"Where the hell am I?" She spoke out loud when all of a sudden she heard a rustling sound from behind her. Santana darted around and faced a group of bushes where the noise was coming from. "Who's there?" She eyed the bushes dangerously as the rustling continued. "Okay whoever it is show yourself now before I come over there and beat the living crap out of you!" A small dog suddenly jumped out of the bush and looked at Santana panting stupidly. Santana looked at it and began to laugh. "Just a puppy." She kneeled down as the dog slowly approached her. It's kind of cute she thought. It was mostly black and had these small little fangs poking out of its mouth with the stupidest grin across its face. She smiled at it. "So what's you're name then puppy?" Or maybe not puppy, it looks more like a wolf cub. Sort of like… well never mind. The creature came up to Santana and started licking her hand playfully. She began to chuckle. "You silly little thing." She scratched the animal behind its ears, which it clearly enjoyed.
"Poochenya!" The dog barked happily. Santana stared at it in surprise.
"What did you just say?" She asked when suddenly screaming came from behind her. She quickly darted around and saw two figures running towards her as fast as they could. "Finn? Kurt?"
"SANTANA RUN!" Finn screamed at her as him and Kurt got closer with every passing step. That's when Santana saw it, a large ape like creature running after the two of them.
"VIGOROTH!" The ape roared as it chased the two boys. Santana stayed motionless, looking at them in complete shock.
"Oh Fu…"
X-X-X-X
"Face it Artie, whoever it was is gone now." Quinn muttered as she walked behind Artie who was looking around intently for a sign of the Pikachu or its possible trainer.
"But they might not be. We've got to keep looking!" Artie suddenly started to run again and Quinn ran after him frustrated.
"You know just because you can walk now doesn't mean you have to run everywhere!"
"We don't have time to walk! Come on quick I see something!" Artie shouted back at her. Quinn sighed and ran after him as quick as she could. She soon caught up to find him standing in front of a signpost pointing directly ahead of them.
"What is it?" Quinn asked. Artie just stayed staring at the sign confused so Quinn started to read the sign out loud. "Pallet Town One Mile. Well that's great maybe they'll have a phone we could use?"
"Yeah maybe…" Artie replied, a look of intense thinking on his face that Quinn quickly notices.
"What's the matter?"
"Well it's nothing really, it's just I though we were in the Johto region, because of my game you know?"
"Yeah so?"
"Well Pallet Town is in Kanto. That's a completely different region."
"So what does that mean?" She looked into his eyes trying to figure out what he was thinking.
"I have no idea." Artie frowned.
X-X-X-X
Mercedes and Tina walked through the woods looking around for any sign of where they might be.
"Why are there no signs anywhere?" Tina asked no-one in particular. "Its stupid how are you supposed to know where you are?"
"Girl I have no idea but I have a feeling wherever we are, we really don't want to be here." Mercedes sighed.
"Well at least we found each other; I just wish I knew where Mike and the others were."
"Yeah how is it going with you and Mike by the way?" Mercedes grinned, determined to get some gossip.
"It's fine; we really have a good time. There's only one problem really." Tina frowned.
"What is it?"
"Everything always has to be Asian! Asian camp, Asian restaurants, Asian Cinema, Asian! Asian! Asian!" Tina snapped. Mercedes started to laugh. "What!?"
"I'm sorry Tina but if that's you're only problem then you're pretty lucky. Just be happy you have someone."
"Isn't there anyone you like?" Tina asked her. Mercedes looked down.
"Not particularly, but even if there was they'd be taken already anyway."
"What do you mean?"
"Come on girl everyone is hallways hooking up with each other except me. You and Mike, Artie and Brittany, Finn and Rachel, Sam and Quinn. Santana and Puck with pretty much everybody. Hell even Kurt's sort of met this guy from that boy's school that's going to be competing with us in sectionals. To be honest it is frustrating that everyone is getting together, except for me." Mercedes started to get a bit teary and stopped walking. Tina then quickly gave her a big hug.
"Don't worry Mercedes it's okay, you'll find someone soon. I just know it." She continued to hug Mercedes who began to smile.
"Yeah you're right. Anyway we've got more important things to do like working out where the hell we…" Mercedes suddenly stopped and looked down the road ahead of them.
"What is it?" Tina asks.
"There's someone lying on the road." Mercedes said. Tina turned around and looked at the figure collapsed in the middle of the path in front of them.
"Oh my god." Tina stared, realising who it was. "Mercedes I think that's Sam!"
"I think you're right." Mercedes said staring after her. "Come on quick he might be hurt!" The two girls then started to run as fast as they could towards the still and unmoving Sam.
X-X-X-X
"Wow look at this place," Quinn smiled. "It looks so peaceful and quiet." She looked over at the surroundings where there were small houses scattered around the place. Also a large building with a windmill could be seen in the distance.
"I know," Artie smiled with her. "I can't believe I'm actually here in Pallet Town. I am so geeking out right now." They stayed silent for a few moments, still looking in awe around the town. Quinn then turned around to face Artie.
"So where do we start?" She asked.
"I think I might have an idea." Artie said as he looked up in the distance towards a large building with a windmill.
"Hey you two over there freeze!" A voice suddenly shouted out. Quinn and Artie quickly darted around to the source of the voice. When Artie saw who it was, he smiled even bigger.
"Who is that?" Quinn asked him. Artie stayed silent, looking at the woman running towards them. She had long blue hair and was wearing a short blue police uniform.
"Officer Jenny!" He called out, still not quite believing what he was saying.
"Do I know you?" Officer Jenny stared at him suspiciously.
"Oh no but I um… I know some other Officer Jenny's." Artie quickly replied.
"Okay then can you please show me some identification?" Jenny asked them. Artie and Quinn glanced nervously at each other.
"Why do you need to see our identification?" Quinn asked defensively.
"About half an hour ago this guy came into town and started causing a lot of trouble with the residents." Jenny explained. "He said he was from some place called Lima and that he was looking for people in his glee club… whatever that is."
"Oh my god!" Quinn asked suddenly getting excited. "What does this guy look like?"
"Big, dumb and sporting a Mohawk." Jenny described. Quinn and Artie smiled at each other.
"Puck." They both said.
So yeah end of Chapter One... Two will be right along next!
