Now here's a story I never thought I'd update again. I was looking at the themes for CxB week and suddenly my brain just started screaming POKEMON, POKEMON, POKEMON! Funny how inspiration works, isn't it?
As for the Guest who said they would only continue to read this if I didn't bring in Slash I have a couple of recommendations for you; if you don't like Slash DON'T read anything I write, even the ones without slash in it, because I support same sex couples in fanfiction, fiction and reality. If you can't support that then I don't want your patronage. And DON'T try to tell authors what to write, they may do the opposite just to spite you. I have yet to decide whether or not I shall do so.
Chapter 2
Brainy awoke to the sound of people talking. Or at least he thought they were people; seeing as the sounds the fox like creature made almost sounded human there was no telling how much a similar creature could learn to say. Then again the creature only seemed to know one word while now he was hearing conversations, though he had no idea what a "pokedex" was.
As Brainy sat up and looked around the fox like creature awoke and turned until their head was resting on Brainy's lap, repeating "vulpix" in the same content way from the night before. Either it didn't hear the voices from somewhere nearby or it just didn't feel the need to worry about them.
"I'm going to try and catch it," Brainy could hear a young male voice say right before such a boy jumped out of the bushes into Brainy's little hiding place. The boy looked like a Japanese male child around the age of ten or eleven, wearing jeans a black shirt, a blue jacket with white short sleeves and collar, green fingerless gloves and a red and white baseball cap that had what looked like a green 21st century stapler.
It was a relief to encounter intelligent humanoid life; maybe this boy could show him where to find a science center or, at the least, a parts store.
Before Brainy cold great the boy a small creature came out of the bushes beside him, declaring "pika". This creature was yellow and reminded Brainy of a large Terran rabbit that could stand on its hind legs like a squirrel. Besides yellow there were red on its cheeks like a painted doll, black on the tips of its long upright ears and a tail with brown at the base that sort of looked like a lightning bolt.
Behind the boy appeared a slightly older girl with red hair, tied into a side ponytail. She had blue eyes and wore short shorts, held up by red suspenders over her yellow midriff top and holding a creature that looked like a half hatched egg.
"Be careful Ash, we don't know what kind of Pokemon that is," the girl told the boy and Brainy wondered if she was referring to his fox like creature or him.
"Just imagine if it's an undiscovered; we could be the first to see this new type of humanoid Pokemon," came a boy older than Brainy, if his height was any indication. He was tanned with short spikey brown hair and, oddly, his eyes were closed. How could he see anything like that? This older boy had brown pants, an orange T-shirt and a green vest. The boy smiled, "With its coloring I bet it's a grass type."
Considering Brainy was the only green one there he had to conclude that they were, indeed talking about him; so much for finding intelligent humanoid life.
"Now listen here," Brainy began but his words were lost when the younger boy, Ash, shouted at the yellow creature, which Brainy assumed was a Pokemon, to attack Brainy with something called a "thunder shock".
The yellow rabbit creature seemed to gather lightning in his cheeks, making Brainy imagine Lightning Lad doing the same thing, but the thought was quickly lost when the creature unleashed the lightning in Brainy's direction with the declaration of "Pikachu".
Thankfully having his belt, Brainy activated his force field which thankfully shielded him, the fox creature and the time bubble behind him. He could not vouch for the tree behind him though.
"It's strong," commented the girl and Brainy had to roll his eyes. He has used his intellect to build a device in order to protect himself; strength had nothing to with it.
The attempted attack also awoke the fox creature, which sprang to its feet and faced the yellow rat like an agitated cat, shouting variations of "vulpix" at it. Somehow it made the fox creature rather… endearing to him.
"If it's good against electricity it might be an electric type," theorized the older boy, making Brainy pinch the bridge of his nose, really the whole thing was just giving him a headache. "Try a different Pokemon."
With a nod the Japanese boy seemed to reach into a pocket and take out a small red and white ball, the size of a marble. Using his thumb he pressed a button on it and it grew bigger, a little bigger than the size of an average sized apple.
Now that was interesting. Maybe Brainy could adapt the technology to make his time bubble easier to transport?
"If you are done being stupid," Brainy began but again went unheard when Ash shouted, "Squirtle, I choose you," tossing the ball onto the ground.
The ball released a red light and the red light formed a new creature. This one looked like a blue skinned turtle, shell red and white trimmed on top with a light tan belly, red eyes and a blue curly tail.
"Squirtle, use water gun," shouted Ash.
The blue turtle, apparently called Squirtle, reeled his head back and when it moved its head forward again, water shot out of its mouth like a water hose, spraying Brainy from head to toe since he had deactivated the force field when the fox creature started verbally fighting with the yellow rat.
When the water stopped, Brainy couldn't stop himself from growling as he wiped at his face with his hands. He had essentially just been spat on! No one spat on Brainiac Five and got away with it.
As Brainy stood, the fox creature attacked Squirtle, seeming to be punching it with their paws. He would consider the slight of the turtle taken care of; his main concern was the person who had ordered the turtle to do it.
Ash took out a new red and white ball, making it grow before throwing it at Brainy's chest.
Was the boy trying to capture Brainy with the small device? How cute.
Brainy caught the ball with ease, clutching it so hard it sparked a bit of electricity as he glared at the humans and seethed;
"I. Am. Not. A. Pokemon!"
