A/N: PurplePantherXVI here! This is a crossover fanfic between Pokémon and Kingdom Hearts. I will be using elements from both the Pokémon Special manga books, the Pokémon anime and the Pokémon games. Please keep that in mind while reading. I hope you all enjoy :3
Main Pairings: Lea x Isa, RokuShi, Naminé x Repliku. There may be VaniVen and Kairi x Ienzo later on as well.
Full Summary: Lea is a trainer out for adventure and on the run from a criminal gang. Xion is a young healer who loves and cares for Pokémon. Roxas is a Pokémon breeder and competes in contests which is everything Xion is against. Ven is a lab assistant who prefers staying in the lab to fieldwork. Vanitas is a wild ruffian and thief who loves observing Pokémon in the wild. Kairi is a trainer and thief who loves trading Pokémon and making deals. Ienzo is a boy who is very sickly, but has a close connection to Pokémon and can talk to them and calm them. And Isa, the grandson of Professor Oak, just wanted a normal life! Instead he found himself caught up in a huge adventure that spanned across the regions of the Pokémon universe...and it's all that redhead's fault! The Fighter, the Healer, the Breeder, the Researcher, the Conqueror, the Evolver, the Calmer and the Trainer...All eight are needed to save the regions of Kanto, Johto and Hoenn from destruction!
NO Gears - Thank you for your review and favorite. I'm glad to see you're enjoying this story, and I hope this chapter was just as good as the first one, if not even better :3
PurplePantherXVI: And now for Lea with the disclaimer!
Lea: Why do I have to do it?
PurplePantherXVI: Because your boyfriend did it last time! And if you don't, I'll tell Xigbar where you guys are ;D
Lea: Fine...PurplePantherXVI does not own Pokémon or Kingdom Hearts (and if she did, we'd all be doomed).
PurplePantherXVI: Thank you Lea. Now enjoy the story!
Intro II
A small black haired girl watched the flames and smoke enveloping the forest. She frowned and leapt down from the tree where she was perched.
"Everyone! I need your help!" She cried out. The wild Pokémon peeked out of the grass and bushes at her before slowly coming out and circling the girl. "We need to put out this fire!" She exclaimed, gesturing to the flames which were consuming the forest they loved and called home.
The Pokémon nodded and scurried off to the river which ran through the forest, the girl chasing after them. It's spreading quickly...She frowned. And not many water Pokémon live in Viridian forest...What can we do to stop it?
A Pikachu tugged on her black dress, and she turned to look at him.
"Oh, hello." She smiled sweetly, bending down until she was eye level with him. "What is it, Burn?" It pointed farther into the forest and scampered off. She ran after it, and saw a cloud of smoke. Through it, she could make out the shape of two young boys. And...
"A Squirtle! Perfect!" She exclaimed, clapping her hands together. "Thank you so much Burn!"
"Pika Pika!" It cried happily, running back towards the river.
"Time to go put out the fire!" She sang happily, running towards where the two were shrouded in a cloud of smoke. "Perfect timing! Almost too perfect..I do wonder...What are those two doing so far in the Viridian Forest?"
Chapter 2: Xion of Viridian Forest
"I hope everyone at Pallet Town is okay..." Isa frowned, glancing back. By now, he could no longer see his hometown or figure out what was happening back there.
"Xigbar will have moved on now that I'm gone. It's me he's after..." Lea comforted. "I'm sure he's left knowing there's nothing left for him there."
"He's after my grandfather, too! What if he went back!" Isa demanded, turning to Lea. "Then my family and friends could be in danger."
"I'm sorry..." Lea muttered, looking down suddenly.
"Huh?" Isa asked.
"I put all of you in danger...I'm sorry, I should have been thinking more." Lea grumbled, refusing to look up at Isa.
"You...You think it was your fault this Organization came to my town?" Isa asked, eyes wide.
"Well, I was running from them and stumbled upon your town. So, yeah...it is, isn't it?" Lea chuckled dryly.
"I-It doesn't matter if it was your fault or wasn't. They would have come eventually seeing as how they're also after my grandfather and his research." Isa stammered, blushing. A grin spread across Lea's face.
"Are you trying to comfort me?" He laughed, looking up slyly at Isa.
"What? I did no such thing!" Isa blushed a dark red, and turned away from Lea. "A-anyway, let's get out of here! They're probably still after us, right? It's best for us to get somewhere safe and far away first, and then plan our next move."
"Glad to see we're in this together, partner." Lea smiled. "Let's get the Hell outta here."
"U-um..." The two froze as a shadow appeared in the smoke and haze before them. Isa tensed, and Lea moved protectively in front of him. "Y-you have a Squirtle...don't you?"
"Are you one of the Organization?" Lea demanded.
"N-no!" The voice cried. "Wait...Ivy, synthesis!" A bright light enveloped the smoke, and it cleared. Before them was a young girl with short black hair. She held a tiny Bulbasaur in her arms. "Synthesis is such a great move, isn't it? It heals Pokémon and supplies light!" She laughed, smiling. Her purplish blue eyes shined up at them innocently.
"Who...are you?" Lea asked, wide eyed as the girl knelt down to pet his Growlithe and Charmander.
"So cute!" She squealed as the Growlithe licked her cheek. She then turned and stroked Ponyta, feeding it an oran berry. At last, she looked over to see Squirtle. "Hey there, little buddy!" She smiled at the turtle Pokémon who stared back at her blankly. "Can you help me with something?" She asked the two boys, smiling sweetly.
"What do you need?" Lea asked, regaining his composure. "Anything to help a cute little damsel in distress!" The girl blushed and Isa frowned at Lea.
"Weren't you just accusing her of being part of the Organization?" He asked.
"Isa! Listen to yourself! There's no way a cute little girl like this could be part of a criminal group!" Lea flailed his arms. Isa sighed, face palming.
"Y-you mentioned the Organization..." The girl blushed, looking down. "Are they the ones responsible for this fire?"
"Eh...?" Lea asked, looking at her. "The...the forest fire?"
"Yep!" The girl cried, balling her hands into the fists and frowning. "That fire is hurting my friends and my home, and I need to put it out! So please, let me borrow your Squirtle!" She bowed to the two, her eyes wide.
"I'm sorry, I want to help, but Squirtle doesn't know any water moves." Isa sighed. The girl's attention, however, was elsewhere.
"What's wrong with him?" She asked, pointing at Lea who was blushing and trying to hide behind Isa.
"Oh, he's the one who started the fire." Isa explained. "While he was fighting the Organization, he burned down the forest."
"What!?" The girl screamed, turning to Lea who shot Isa a look of betrayal. She ran over to where Lea was slapped him hard across the face.
"Ow that hurt!" Lea cried, rubbing his cheek. She returned his cries with another slap.
"How dare you! You hurt my friends!" She cried, slapping him again and again. "Take that! And that! And that!"
"Hey, listen, my Squirtle doesn't know any water moves, but we'd be willing to help you put out the fire. Is there a river around, or something?" Isa asked hopefully, putting a hand on the girl's shoulder. To his relief, she stopped slapping Lea. The red haired boy took this chance to get as far away from the short raven haired girl as possible.
"Actually..." She reached into a pocket of her dress and pulled out a TM. "I have here a TM for water gun. I collect TMs, you see, even if I can't use them all." She looked down embarrassed. "Please, teach your Squirtle this, so he can put out the fire." She bowed, handing it to him.
"Squirtle, water gun!" Isa yelled. The tiny turtle opened his mouth and a jet of water flew out, putting out one of the smaller fires on a nearby tree.
"Yay, it worked!" The girl jumped up excitedly, pulling Isa along. "Come on, please! Put them all out!"
After the little girl led Isa threw the forest and put out all the fires, the three sat down by the river together. Lea and Isa told the girl about what happened before they met her.
"Thank you so much." She smiled at Isa. Then, she glared at Lea. "As for you, be more careful when you fight! You could've killed some of my friends!"
"But I didn't." Lea protested, earning himself another slap. He rubbed his face, and sighed. "So how do you, a girl living all out in the woods by herself, know about the Organization while this guy doesn't?" He asked, pointing at Lea.
"My name is Xion!" The girl proclaimed proudly. "And this is Ivy, my Bulbasaur friend." She smiled down at the Pokémon in her arms. "This is Kitty, my other friend." She pointed at the Caterpie which was crawling on her shoulder.
"Whoa! Isa, had that thing been there the whole time? I just noticed it!" Lea hissed in Isa's ear.
"I didn't notice it before either..." Isa whispered back. "Although if you don't want another slap from her, I suggest you don't call her friend a 'thing.' She might not take it kindly..."
"I live in Viridian Forest along with my brother Lance." Xion explained, thankfully not hearing their conversation. "A few months ago, Lance left the forest to go defeat the Organization. Now, he's the champion of Johto and using his power to put an end to them!" She exclaimed happily. "So how about you two?" She asked curiously.
"I'm Lea, and this is Isa." Lea said, pointing at the blue haired boy beside him. "Charmander, Ponyta, Growlithe and Squirtle. And sorry about burning down your home, by the way..." He chuckled, scratching his head. She glared at him, but sighed.
"Alright, I forgive you. You helped me, and you were fighting the Organization, so I guess you can be forgiven. Just be more careful in the future, okay? Or there may be consequences..." She winked, and he shivered. Then, she looked over at their team of Pokémon. "Poor things must be exhausted..." She knelt next to them, resting her hand on Squirtle's forehead. It began to glow, and Squirtle's bruises and scratches healed instantly.
"Wh-what?" Lea cried, jumping back and Isa looked shocked as she proceeded to do it for Lea's team.
"All better!" Xion smiled once all their Pokémon were healed. "Now, for your payment..."
"Payment? Because you healed our Pokémon?" Lea cried, outraged.
"Oh, I'm a Viridian Forest trainer! I can heal Pokémon and read their thoughts. So can my brother Lance." Xion smiled as if this was nothing special at all. "But that's not what I meant. I need payment because of all the damage you caused."
"Didn't we fix it?" Lea protested. "And I don't have that much pokédollars!"
"I don't want pokédolly-ers, whatever that is!" She huffed, crossing her arms. "I want you two to take me with you. You're gonna beat the Organization, right? I wanna help! My brother wouldn't take me because of the danger, but I can't just sit around here while the Organization hurts Pokémon!"
"This is no journey for a girl!" Lea cried, waving his arms.
"Okay." Isa nodded. Lea turned to him, frowning.
"Why did you betray me partner?" He sobbed.
"Yay!" Xion cried, jumping up. "Bye everyone, take care of yourselves! Play nice!" She smiled, waving at the forest Pokémon who had been hiding in the tall grass and trees at the arrival of newcomers. She grabbed the boys' hands and pulled them along, skipping off through the forest. "Oh, and you're gonna be paying to all my expenses, by the way." She grinned cheekily up at Lea.
"Why me?" He cried. "Xion!"
