Author's Note: So, the long-awaited chapter 2 is here. I chose the title for a reason. If you're reading HD, then you know that Cody Sycamore is my OC & the only character I own. They only mentioned Kai & Nya's father briefly, but, I decided to name him. I'm fully aware that Courtney appears in the games & that Blaise only appears in the manga, but it's called "AU" for a reason. With that being said, I don't own Pokémon or Ninjago.
Chapter 2: Heated Revelations!
(Kai's P.O.V.)
"So, it's Tuesday already. Huh, looks like I'm up before everyone else. The world of Pokémon. It's different than Ninjago City, for sure. I'm glad to see Dad again. I know mom's voice when I hear it. Paul seemed to be really happy when he found out dad's first name. I think that the Oak kid said something about it being an ability." I get out of my bed & I'm not the only one who's awake. I resist the urge & say, "Hey, Ash?" Ash says, "On guard! Huh? Oh, it's only you, Kai. Man, you startled me." Yep, I've got it. Ash says, "Why are you up this early?" I say, "I was going to ask you the same question." Ash says, "Your dad appointed shifts for lookout. Not just of Team Chaos, but of the other trainers." I say, "I see. So, Ash, what are your parents like?" That question seemed to make him tense. He sat on the shore & I did the same.
(Ash's P.O.V.)
I can't believe he asked that. I say, "My mom's great. She kinda raised me by herself after my dad left to go on his journey. I don't know much about my dad. At least you know for a fact yours is alive. Well, here, anyway." Kai pulled me aside when it came to his mom. I say, "So, what about your mom?" Kai looks up. He says, "Nya means the world to me. See, my father only told me that my mom was sick when Nya was born. She died when I was 4. In our world, dad died on what you tell me as a happy day for trainers."
Taking a second to remember what I said, I think, "I felt bad, because I told him what happens when someone turns 10. Charmander wasn't my first choice. When I got to Johto, I wouldn't have minded a Cyndaquil. Then, when I met Harrison, Blaziken was so interesting. When May's Combusken finally evolved, I thought, "Another chance against Blaziken!" I kinda wanted a Treecko, though. When I got to Sinnoh, I really wanted a Piplup. After seeing Trip get Snivy, I had no idea who I wanted. I wasn't considering Oshawott, despite his cuteness. I don't remember Kalos's Fire starter. I wonder if Kai's trying to ask me something." I say, "You were saying?" Kai says, "I wanted to ask you about each regional starter. You said you've been to different regions & that Pikachu isn't traditional." I say, "That's what I was thinking about. Do you mean like, all 18 starters?"
(Kai's P.O.V.)
I say, "Eighteen fire types?" Ash says, "No. Each region gets a different starter from the type of Fire, Water, or Grass. It's different for each region, though. See, Infernape didn't originally belong to me," elaborating on what he told me yesterday.
(Later in the day, Nya's P.O.V.)
I say, "See, the Serpentine were ancient & the Skeletons, well, that I don't know. Samukai was the general, but then he got vaporized, leaving Frakjaw to take over. The Serpentine, like the Skeletons were divided into 4 elements: Fire, Ice, Lightning & Earth, despite there being only 5 tribes," explaining the villains a little further. Kai says, "The 5 tribes were the Hypnobrai, Fangpyre, Anacondrai, Constrictai, & the Venomari." Gary says, "So, who had which type?" turning from his post. I say, "Let's see. The Fangpyre were the Fire-types, the Hypnobrai were the Ice-types, the Venomari were the Lightning-types, & the Constrictai were the Earth-types." May says, "What about the Anacondrai?" I look at Kai & Dad. Dad says, "No one knows."
Pyro says, "So, the Lightning & Earth types are what?" I say, "What do you mean?" He says, "Equivalents." I say, "Lightning, I guess, is equal to your Electric-types." Kai says, "Ash, you said that the Viridian Gym Leader gives out the Earth badge." Ash & Gary both tense up. Gary says, "Ground & Rock. The gym leader needs to be locked up." Just then, a group of people show up & Dad seems to know them all. He says, "Flannery, Egan, Jimmy, Tabitha, Blaise, Courtney, Chili, Flint, Malva, Cody, & Lucas." Wait. Tabitha is a guy?
(Gary's P.O.V.)
I say, "Team Magma & Team Flare. Come to turn yourselves in?" specifically addressing the Hoenn & Kalos villains. Chili says, "Explanations are needed, as are introductions. Who's first?" A kid wearing a sweatshirt along with shorts says, "I'm Jimmy Gold, from the town of New Bark, Johto. This hothead is my friend Egan," indicating a kid wearing a black T-shirt & cargo shorts. Egan elbows Jimmy & says, "Egan Moore. Allegedly, Mahogany Town," glaring at a girl next to him. The girl says, "Egan, I said that we'd talk a little later, especially regarding that giant Magcargo of yours. The name's Flannery, that's Tabitha, Blaise & Courtney. They're ex-members of Team Magma." Tabitha says, "Thanks for the reminder, sis." Courtney says, "Yeah. Thanks. I'm Courtney," I say, "Where's my sister?" I wouldn't hit a girl, but I have exceptions. Ash & Paul are holding me back & Blaise says, "In Kanto, with your grandpa. I don't care where I end up." Tabitha says, "Blaise, don't be so hard on yourself. I don't know what made Dad who he is. I don't want to see you in an orphanage, though." Flannery says, "Ash, May, you remember my grandpa, don't you?" They nod & Courtney says, "Do you know Blaine?" I say, "I've heard of him." Paul says, "Gary, don't waste your energy. The Cinnabar Gym Leader, correct?" Blaise nods. My focus shifts to Lucas & I say, "Hey, Lucas." Lucas says, "Lucas Rowan. Grandson of the one & only Prof. Rowan. This," but is cut off by Flint saying, "I can speak for myself. The name's Flint Baku." Ash says, "Cody?" I blink & say, "Long time, no see." Cody says, "The same. I'm Cody Sycamore." Chili says, "The name's Chili. One of the 3 Striaton City Gym Leaders." A girl who has pink hair & sunglasses says, "Malva is my name. I presume, we've been called for a reason." Kai says, "You have."
(Paul's P.O.V.)
Meeting Flint is just amazing. He's the reason I wanted a Chimchar. I don't know who this Blaise is, though. Bianca seems to be on somewhat familiar terms with Chili. I say, "So, how do you know Blaine?" Blaise says, "Grandpa. I was sent to Hoenn at a young age, to find my parents. I found them dead & vowed vengeance. That's when I met Tabitha." Tabitha says, "I took Blaise under my wing. Once Courtney made him his lighter, he was able to find the person responsible." Malva says, "I could never understand my father. Nor, do I really want to. Blaine had to close the Cinnabar gym & went in the Seafoam Islands. The big one, is where the gym is, & where Blaise is to take over." To see him cry, was just, unreal. Tabitha says, "Our father, Egan, left our mom with you." Flannery says, "Mom was born in Mahogany Town & Dad in Mossdeep. Dad saw potential in Tabitha & I; he left to Lavaridge, where Tabitha & I were born. When grandpa got wind of it, he separated us further. Come on, did you really catch a giant Magcargo?" Egan pulls a Heavy Ball out & tosses it. I say, "Giant is an understatement. Yo, Kai, gonna show Flame again?" Kai says, "Tell me what having a Chimchar was like," referring to Ash's Infernape. I say, "Ash, Dawn, & Brock think I released Chimchar just because he was powerless & wouldn't activate Blaze. Aside Reggie, there's only one person who knows the truth," pointing to a certain Sinnoh native.
(Lucas's P.O.V.)
All eyes were on me. It's true; I'm the only one who knows. In this group, anyway. I say, "I met Chimchar when Paul brought him to the lab. It was a rainy night & I was given the task of monitoring the starters. I don't know why, overall, that upon a trainer's 10th birthday, a Chimchar & a Piplup always manage to get into some sort of fight. Anyway, I was watching them & one particular Chimchar was looking outside the window. The Chimchar next to me kept trying to get my attention. She wasn't able to get my attention, so," Flint says, "Whoa, slow down. She?" I say, "A Jynx tried to use Charm. Do the math," allowing everyone to process it. Nya says, "Jynx?" I say, "Jynx is the evolved form of Smoochum. Both of those are an all-female species." Kai says, "So that's how Ash knew about attraction." The Pallet trainer says, "It took me a while, but I got it. Go on, Lucas," staring at Serena for a reason Arceus knows. I say, "Anyway, she tapped the ball on my belt. I was monitoring Turtwig & Piplup. At the time, my Infernape was only a Monferno, who had just recently learned Mach Punch. Monferno succeeded, & that's when I saw 3 Zangoose going insane. I could see a small flame, moving. I thought, 'Chimchar? Without a trainer?' After Chimchar activated Blaze, I knew what to do. I managed to get Yuzo up so he could see if Chimchar had a trainer. I waited outside, & once I saw Paul, I shouted. Now, Paul's a fast runner as is; however, when he was bringing Chimchar, he was moving faster than a Pichu who just learned Volt Tackle. When he caught his breath, I said, 'So, who does Chimchar belong to?' Paul raised a brow & said, 'I thought a Chimchar could've escaped from the lab.' Yuzo said that it's very rare that we get an extra, but it didn't belong to anyone." Cody says, "So, how do you know that Paul was telling the truth?" I say, "Eye contact. Signs someone is lying is if they don't make direct eye contact. Paul's eyes were locked into mine. For the record, that Pichu happens to be under the ownership of my friend Ayumi & is now a Pikachu. So, Fiore is only temporary HQ, right, Prof. Smith?" He says, "Correct. Cody, let's see if Ash & Gary were exaggerating," handing the Kalos native a laptop. Cody stares at it & says, "Piece of cake." He grabs his pack, which is similar to Paul's, except it's orange. He pulls out a few wires, a headset & a pair of sunglasses. He plugs in the stuff & I just watch in sheer amazement at his speed. He begins typing with lightning speed & accuracy, something that Kai & Nya take note of.
Kai says, "Nya, when we get back," she says, "Yeah. We'll tell them & say that Zane has met his match." I say, "Zane? The ice ninja?" remembering Prof. Smith's brief description. Kai says, "Yeah. Better known as the nindroid. The term was first coined by Nya's boyfriend, Jay." Nya swiftly elbows Kai in the ribs, blushing slightly. I say, "Romance is a mystery to some & a game to others. Every rose has its thorn," noticing Nya's blush, as well as Serena's. As Cody is working, Flint begins to talk with Malva, Pyro & Virgil show their Flareon, May & Serena happen to be whispering & looking at Ash & Cody. I think, "If only Dawn was older. Being single isn't all it's cracked up to be. Then again, Brendan, Gary & Alyssa are still single. I don't know, though." Cody is printing all these stats & papers. A Pichu that just learned Volt Tackle goes 25 mi/s. That may seem like a low number, but, Volt Tackle is an egg move. If learned right away, it's fast.
