Ch. 1 Enlisted and Shipped

(Hello old readers, and if you're new, welcome. This is supposed to be my next book/story/bunch of chapters. I decided to do a space themed one because it just seemed rich. I've looked at a lot of the M-rated fanfictions, minus All of the red, ash, gary, blue, you know...the characters I couldn't give a flying (bleep) about, and didn't really see much that had this kind of idea So, I decided to throw Rui in another shit stain just for the fun of it. If none of you have read m work before, I highly suggest Fruits, Spices, and Gardevoir. It starts of like Spice and wolf but the story experiences a lot of twists that changes it into it's own story.)

{Third Person Point Of View}

In a far away galaxy lies a Sun orbited by 11 Planets. The Udalla(Ooo-dah-lah) System. The planets orbit their sun, each bearing life fit for their planet. Here are the planets ranging from closest to farthest.

The first planet, Helios, orbits closest to the sun. This molten rock planet bears life to various Rock and Fire type pokemon. The only thing guaranteed about this planet, is the abundant amount of resources on the planet.

Next, is Gandali(gun-dah-lee). A Planet that's protected from most of the sun's radiation and heat through powerful electromagnetic fields. Every year, it's orbit gets faster by a minute, fueling it's electromagnetic field. The life that thrives here consists of Steel and electric pokemon. Another interesting fact about the planet, is that it's one of two planets that orbit vertically instead of horizontally.

The third Planet is called Hael(hail). It's a Desert world dotted with various Oasis. It's inhabitants are mostly Flying and Ground type pokemon that fight for survival every day. Only sand and heat here with nothing in the inner layers of the planet. Utterly worthless.

The fourth planet is called Plains. It's a lush planet filled with Grass and bug pokemon. The air is so pure with Oxygen that's it's poisonous to humans. The extra amount of O2 is used to make O3 in it's atmosphere to protect the planet from radiation. Prospects are still looking into how valuable the planet could be.

The fifth planet is called Sera. This is the home of Humans, normal Pokemon, and a few dragons. This planet is covered with 20% Salt water, 40% Fresh Water, 25% Forests, 10% Deserts, and 5% Mountains. This planet, the home of the human species, was conquered after the advancement of technology. In the ancient eras, Human knights tried to claim glory and wealth by battling the fierce dragons. After disvovering Space technology, humanity began to overpopulate. Famine and disease became a world wide problem until the governments came together under a united dictatorship. Solar System expansion is a goal they are going to complete, no matter the cost.

The sixth planet, Aura, is a peaceful forest covered planet. The planet seems normal but the inhabitants learned to harness their intelligence into psychic abilities. This planet mostly houses psychic and fairy types. Prospects deem this planet inhabitable but could be dangerous. First contact squad will have to survive and give a detailed report on it's inhabitants. Update, they didn't.

The seventh planet is known as Dakar(De-car). A place shrouded in such dense atmosphere and clouds that the life their have never seen what light is. It's a planet of perpetual all consuming darkness. A place so horrifying and scary that all plans to go there were banned. It'd be suicide. The inhabitants are Dark and ghost type pokemon. All of them are hunters and will feed on human flesh... so says the first and only report. It's also the second planet to orbit vertically.

The eighth planet, Hydra, is nothing but Ocean. An aquatic paradise for all sea life. Mostly Water type Pokemon live on this planet with the occasional ice type near the Ice caps. Since there's no land here, it'd be foolish to try and populate this planet. It's large amount of fish may be a viable resource if we figure out how to get it.

The Ninth planet is Krant. It's a planet with such intense gravity, that it's assumed to be 5 times stronger than Sera. A 200 pound man will become 1000 pounds by merely coming here. Talk about losing weight and hitting the gym, am I right? The pokemon here are mostly Fighting types with a few Steel, Psychic and rock types. This planet is hazardous to all human life. Nothing here is important enough to die for. Avoid at all costs.

The Tenth Planet is Toxin. A planet covered by various poisonous swamps. The poison here help the creatures thrive while killing all alien forms of life. Gas masks do counteract this and are heavily advised. The fruits bore on the trees here are theorized to help advance medical studies by ten years. Samples brought back will be properly paid for. The pokemon are mostly Poison types but share this world with bug types as well.

Then there's the final world, Frost. A world with entire Oceans frozen over from the horrifyingly low temperatures. It's inhabitants are mostly Water and Ice types. Nothing of value here that we know of yet.

That is the Udalla System. A System humans are trying to expand across. Will they succeed? No. The people in charge are just too stupid not to try.

{Rui's Point Of View}

I started to stir in my sleep until a flashlight hit my face. I tried to turn my head to ignore it but I couldn't. Especially when the person holding the flashlight started kicking my bed.

"Wake up Cadet! You're supposed to be up and at 'em ten minutes ago!" My drill Sergeant yelled.

"Ugh, Sir! I'm a part of the research corps! Not the military! I don't need to be up this early!" I complained.

"You were drafted into the military to be a part of the research corps maggot! Whether you like it or not, you are Military! Now get up and give me 50 pushups!" my drill Sergeant yelled.

'God damn it!' I screamed in my mind.

My name is Rui and this is my life now. Currently, I am thirteen years old, White skin, 54 inches tall, short spiky black hair and Hazel Eyes. Several weeks ago, I turned thirteen, the age the draft starts. Those with intellectual promise were drafted into the research corps. Our job is to research the other planets based off of reports and readings from scanners. With that information, we start formulating strategies and tech to help protect ourselves from the planets' hazardous environments. The trouble is, we don't exactly know how it'll work until it's tested. The first planet to be landed on and explored on foot, is Aura. Me, being the most fucking unlucky bitch alive, is forced to go there with the initial team. Why? My mother fucking head Scientist insisted on me going. The bastard doesn't even like me so I know it wasn't a favor. The bitch wants me gone. The only bit of confidence I have, is the fact about 2000 Soldiers are going with me. That is protection I'm very satisfied with at the start. I'm just dead fucking terrified of what we'll find. As a member of the Research Corps, I'm only armed with a pistol. That's some form of self protection but I know that won't matter. Breakfast went by quickly since I had no friends to talk to. Walking into the Research Corps didn't help my day as I say the Scientist I worked under. His smug look gave me all the proof I needed that he was going to be happy to be rid of me. The guy is at least 50 years old with no hair on his head at all. His skull shone like a lightbulb in the sun. His eyes were blue and his skin was almost as white as his lab coat.

"Are you excited for the trip to Aura?" He asked, masking his excitement.

"Yeah. It's going to be a fucking great time. Like that knight who had to slay a Druddigon. You really should come with us. There's room for one more, it's a fucking party down here." I retorted quickly.

He scoffed and started walking by me, "I think I'll pass. Good luck!"

I bit back a rude response, "Pfft. Slimy fuckin' prick. Screwing me over to probably get his old wrinkly ass hands on a young female intern. Sick bastard..."

I started going through my normal routine of looking through reading, statements and other boring things. My Rocket is going to be leaving in 8 hours and I wasn't going to be late for it. Why? A military escort is set up to force me there. With no way around it, I knew it'd be pointless to run. On my free time, I decided to hit the shooting gallery in order to work on my pistol skills. Suicide is always an answer. Not particularly a pleasant or original one, but a choice nonetheless. My drill Sergeant thought it'd be hilarious to give me a good run down. As he called it, A testament for a man. So, my arms and legs were sore, I was being dragged and I have to go to a potentially dangerous planet. ...Greeeeeaaat. As I sat at Lunch, a Soldier decided to sit with me. He looked about 15 years old with short orange hair, pale skin and freckles. He wore the standard green camouflage flak jacket of our military. His pants were the same color with at least 10 pockets.

"Hello sir. Name's Jackson." He greeted.

"Sir? Do I look high ranking to you?" I asked bitterly.

"No but you're supposed to be one of the few in charge. Our job is to keep you safe as you research on the planet Ray." He smiled politely.

"Don't you mean Aura? There is no planet named Ray." I corrected.

"My bad sir. I'm just saying we're here to keep you safe." He assured.

"Seven minutes."

"Huh?"

"That's how long I'll be safe until you all die. Lucky me." I slammed my forehead on the table, "I hate everyone."

"You sure are a pessimist sir."

I looked at him like he was stupid before hanging my head, "And it's down to six minutes. Might as well get laid before going."

"Uh, you can't do that sir. Only Officials of age can do that." Jackson reminded.

"...Sergeant Righty just got promoted..." I whispered.

"Who's that?" Jackson asked.

"Ho... How do you even function?" I asked, flabbergasted by his stupidity.

"Hey, I'm just like every other guy. I time my shots appropriately and kill my targets. I'm just not the brightest crayon in the cereal box."

"...You can say that again." I sighed.

"Why? I've already said it once." Jackson asked.

"Why are you still here!?" I yelled.

"You want me to leave sir?"

"Yes! God! Do I have to write it out for you?" I asked sarcastically.

"I can't read..."

"Fuuuuck! Get out of here!" I screamed.

-Several Hours Later-

I strapped a backpack on with some of my things, "Alright. Toothbrush, Clothes, suicide pills, back up suicide pills, bottles of water just in case I need to take the suicide pills, Combat knife in case the pills aren't enough or there, extra ammunition, And... a journal with a pen. All set."

My drill Sergeant pat my back, "Ready for the trip?"

"All I know, this is going to be one expensive ass funeral to a mass grave." I replied sadly.

"You have 2000 soldiers to protect you. What could possibly defeat that on an alien planet?" He asked.

"I'm pretty sure the Prince of Zrack thought the same thing until a Salamence completely murdered his army." I frowned unimpressed.

"Who even cares about history?" He asked.

"...I'm going to go now. I won't miss you in the slightest sir. Good luck dumbass." I replied as I walked past.

He chuckled a bit before giving me an order, "Before you go... drop and give me 50."

"God damn it." I groaned.

After doing the accused push ups, I finally got escorted to the ship we were taking to Planet Aura. The ship itself is huge. It must be the size of an entire military base. I didn't have time to inspect the outside of the ship since the other soldiers were busy pushing me onto the ship. When I got inside, I was a bit intrigued by the layout of the ship. The Flooring is equipped with state of the art gravity plating. When we're in space, they help make the gravity equal to Sera's. I remember reading that without the gravity plating, humans need to exercise regularly in space. If they don't, they lose a lot of muscle mass and that's not helpful for soldiers. They need to be able to hold their equipment. Not become lazy asses. Vent fans are arranged along the walls and ceilings. Florescent Lightbulbs were lit behind the fans, giving an ominous shadow in darker areas. Due to all the metal and lack of paint to help make the ship more homey, it felt like you're trapped in a metal box. I'd hate to be that one guy who's claustrophobic.

-Elsewhere-

"Get me off this ship!" A soldier screamed as the others held him.

"Knock him out!"

"What!?"

"Knock him the fuck out!"

-Back to what's important-

"Hm. I wonder how long it took to build this ship." I said aloud.

A woman walked beside me but she wasn't a soldier, "Seven years. Welcome to the Kelion. The largest Military Spaceship to date. This will be our second voyage. My name's Hailey. I'm the leader of the science team." Hailey smiled.

"Will you be going to the surface too?" I asked curiously.

Hailey laughed aloud, "Of course not. Only the expendable people are going."

"...I hate this story. I hate this story so much." I whispered to myself.

"Don't be so down. You may be expendable but that doesn't mean you'll die... probably." She smiled.

"...I. Hate. All of you." I whispered.

"What was that?" Hailey asked.

"I said, how this ship is amazing. Thank you soooo much for making me feel welcome." I said half sarcastically.

"Your welcome! I have to go do... paperwork and... stuff. See ya." Hailey quickly walked off, leaving me to try and find my way around the ship.

"Warning to all personnel, we're going to be lifting off in just a moment. The first time is always a bit shocking so be ready for the jump." A voice spoke over the intercom.

"This day gets BETTER!" I screamed as the ship suddenly jumped and forced me to lay on the floor.

The force of the take off lasted a couple of minutes until we exited Sera's orbit. Once we were out, I didn't feel anything as I started floating up with the other soldiers. It was... kind of fun. Until Gravity came on and I landed face first on the metal flooring. A nearby soldier asked me if I was okay and I responded with a loud groan into the floor.

"Sir, do you need a medic?"

"Urrrghk." I groaned.

"Are you sure?"

"Urgh!"

"No need to be snappy."

"Uknerg gerhn."

"Fine. Good luck getting up sir."

"That's what she said!" Someone yelled from down the hall.

-1 Hour Later-

I was finally led to my room by a guide, "Here is your room."

"Thank everything ho- ...This is bigger than the room I had on base." I muttered.

"Yeah, too bad it's only for a week." The guide smiled.

"Please. Don't ruin this for me." I replied.

The room actually had space for me to walk around. The bed was an actual bed with a Mattress and everything. The one I had back at base was a plank of wood. A desk sat next to a set of Drawers along the far wall. A brand new computer sat on the desk with a touch screen and holographic keyboard. The walls were still made of metal with no paint. Three vents were present in the room, one overhead with two on opposite walls. After the guide left, I took the liberty of checking out how soft the bed was. The verdict, so damn soft I fell asleep instantly. When I woke up, dinner was being served but I didn't know where the mess hall is. I looked at the computer and decided to check it out. Maybe it'll have a map of the ship in its hard drive. When I turned it on, the screen immediately lit up and had three files on screen. One was a list of rules and included a map to help new members find their way around. The other two were files on Planet Aura. If I tried to do anything else, the computer would say invalid. I guess they restricted complete access to the ship's computer. I wanted to access the ship rules first but... the Intel on Aura interested me.

I started talking to myself, "I did research on Aura but only through scanner results and initial reports. The first team that went there did vanish after their first report. That would explain why they'd send 2000 troops this time..."

The file wasn't a detailed report, it's a vocal report from the first contact team, "Day 1, 13:00 hours. We landed on Aura today and... it's beautiful. We hypothesized that the Forest Planet would look just as or more beautiful but... being here... standing on the grass... taking in the air... It feels... like home. Like I'm still on Sera. With the extermination of all pokemon on our planet, we don't really know what they're like. I hope to examine one of the specimens he... Wait... I thought I saw something. Must've been my imagination."

"Hm... that's abrupt. He was so fascinated by the planet but suddenly changed his tone. He had to have saw something... wait, there are two more recordings.

"Day 1, 16:00 hours. Billy disappeared an hour ago. He went deeper into the forest and hasn't come back. I want to be optimistic but... I know we're being watched. Something is studying us when it should be the other way around. I theorize that our arrival drew a lot more attention than we thought. Shock Pods are too loud to use for these expeditions. I suggest we find a way to get on a new planet quietly in order to avoid detection from the native life. That way we don't... Billy? What are you..? Oh my god. It's his head... just his head! Where's the rest of him!?" The recording cut off.

"...I should just avoid this third recording. I really should but..." I clicked on the third entry.

"(Static) (Murmurs) (Louder Static) (Crackles of Flames) (Static) (Chewing) (End)"

"Well... that was useful." I glanced at my backpack, "...I am so glad I came prepared to KYS as soon as possible."

I clicked on the other file and saw it was a detailed report made by the person that recorded the audio logs. It was made an hour after their initial arrival. It describes that the fruits bore on the trees help give life on the planet their powers. The fruits aren't poisonous to humans but are extremely addictive. It's unknown what the long term effects are but the short terms effects are apparent. Billy ate one, despite my pleas not to. After a couple of minutes, he started sweating and itching as if going through the first phase of withdrawal. As I began to breath freely, I started to notice... an almost mint flavor and smell to the air. The native life here thrive off the fruits and I believe they may be vegetarians. If so, direct interaction may be needed in order to fully understand what we're dealing with. I'd also like to make a formal request for some soldiers. We need more help. We don't have enough information to be complete sure we're safe here. Dr. Bendon out.

After reading that report, I started skimming through the rules until I found the map. Without a printer, I studied the map and tried to memorize it as best as I could. The Cafeteria is five floors in total with enough room to fit every person on the ship. My stomach growled loudly, earning my attention and forced me to take action. Luckily, I was able to find the cafeteria and eat like a pig since the food didn't suck. While I sat there, three other scientist interns sat with me.

"Hello." They greeted.

"Expendable interns as well?" I asked with a half frown.

"Sigh. Yes." They all groaned.

"Yeah... that's why I prepared my backpack with plenty of ways to kill myself." I shrugged.

The intern next to me look offended, "Kill yourself but that's a sin!"

"Idiot, I'd rather take my own life than suffer to the unknown." The intern across from me argued.

"Yeah... a lot better..." I whispered as they began to argue.
