CHAPTER TWO: THE BATTLE HAS BEGUN

The away team looked at each other until Riker said, "We're not here for this, Pokémon battle of yours. We originally thought she would bring to someone who knows this place."

The woman went, "Well, technically I do live here and I know the area pretty well. Also I'm Korrina by the way."

She shook hands with Riker as he said, "Commander Riker, and this is Lieutenant Data, Ensign Wesley, and Lieutenant Worf."

Everyone shook hands with Korrina, the the canine came back and asked, "Luca?"

Data then asked, "I have a question about the creatures. Why is it that that thye seem to repeat the same word or parts of it?"

Korrina answered, "That's how a Pokémon normally talks unless you have a translator or have a psychic give you the translation."

Worf then asked, "Psychic?"

Korrina then asked, "Do you even know what a Pokémon is?"

Riker answered, "No, we don't know what this Pokemon is."

"Well, Pokémon are creatures similar to humans in a few ways as in intelligence and in skill."

"And some are humanoid?"

Korrina nodded and said, "Some Pokémon like Lucario and Bisharp are human like Pokémon, and the Kirlia you have will evolve into a human like Pokémon as well."

Wesley then asked, "Evolve?"

Riker then said, "Wouldn't that take a few million years to do that?"

Korrina laughed a bit and said, "Not that kind of evolve, Pokémon evolution is much different from the evolution you're thinking about. In Pokémon evolution, it goes in phases from a child to a teen to an adult. Some Pokémon, like Lucario here, have I where there are only two phases instead of three."

Data then said, "An unusual biology if I may add."

"If you haven't seen a Pokémon before, you're about to see even more unusual of a biology. Follow me."

The all went into the building onto a field. Riker asked, "Interesting, but where are all these Pokémon who have besides him of course."

Korrina then got to one side of the field while the rest of the away team stayed on the other side. Worf then told Riker, "This is a battlefield. There are two opposing sides with a referee standing over there."

Riker then said, "So this is what she meant by a battlefield."

The Kirlia came back to them with a device in her hands and gave it to Wesley. He looked at it and scanned it saying, "This is some kind of information device. How do you…", and the device popped open saying in a female robotic voice, "Kirlia, the emotion Pokémon. It is said that a Kirlia that is exposed to the positive emotions of its Trainer grows beautiful. This Pokémon controls psychokinetic powers with its highly developed brain."

They all looked at the Kirlia and Riker said, "I assume a telepath as well?"

Then he heard a voice say, "Correct."

He looked over the place and looked toward the Kirlia and it said, "It's alright commander, it's only me."

Riker looked shocked and said, "Ok, so you can actually talk with a Pokémon."

"Only because I'm part psychic, yes."

Riker then called out to Korrina, "So what are we supposed to do?"

She then called back, "Well, seeing as though you're new, I'll send Mienshao out instead of my harder ones."

"It seems reasonable."

Then she yelled out, "Mienshao, I choose you!"

And out came a purple weasel creature yelling, "Mienshao!"

The away team was stunned, Worf then said, "This is will be an honorable battle."

Wesley then said, "Commander, since I have the Kirlia here, could I possibly fight this one out, sir?"

Riker then said, "Seeing she is most comfortable with you, I say go for it."

And the rest of the away team went to the sidelines while Wesley was one the side with the Kirlia and Korrina was on the other side with Mienshao. The fight broke out when the Lucario cried, "LUCA!", meaning 'FIGHT!'

Korrina then called, "Mienshao use double whip!"

The weasel charged an attack only for Wesley to yell, "Move out of the way!"

The Kirlia moved out of the way as the Mienshao hit the ground, and Korrina yelled out, "High jump kick, now!"

And the Mienshao went high up as Wesley furiously went through the 'dex and called out, "uh, Telekinesis!"

And the Kirlia stopped the Mienshao in its tracks and held it there. There was a moment of silence as then the Kirlia told Wesley, "Now what?"

Wesley was slightly confused and said, "I… don't know."

Worf shook his head while Data still analyzed the situation and Riker just sat there holding a laugh. Korrina said, "You do realize you have to have your Pokémon fight mine right?"

Wesley then said, "Why?"

She laughed out loud saying, "That the point of a Pokémon battle, (HAHA), you're supposed to have two Pokémon fight."

Wesley look befuddled and said, "I'm not used to getting thrown into fights, more or less fighting in general."

"Oh well, you'll learn how to do it eventually, anyways, Mienshao use high jump kick again!"

The Mienshao broke the telekinetic grasp and plunged straight forward at sonic speeds only for it to crash down flinging the Kirlia about 20 feet away heavily damaged. Wesley then said, "Try using mind shock and paralyze it!"

The Kirlia then fired a beam at the Mienshao inflicting some damage but it retalitated as it then recharged at Korrina's command, "Use Double whip and finish it!"

It prepared for the attack, then Wesley in a state of fear scurried though the 'Dex and yelled, "Shock it!"

The Kirlia made a shock that hit both it and the Minshao. The Kirlia was flung back and the Mienshao took a heavy hit. The away team looked at the scene as they also scanned everything. Then a bright glow appeared on the Kilria as she then started to grow up and change into a more feminine figure. Everyone was in awe and Wesley said, "Woah."

Riker then said, "So that's the evolution she was talking about."

The Kirlia changed and Wesley looked at it again as it then stated, "Gardevoir, the embrace pokemon. Gardevoir has the ability to read the future. If it senses impending danger to its Trainer, this Pokémon is said to unleash its psychokinetic energy at full power."

Everyone was astonished as the Gardevoir told Wesley, "Stop reading and start fighting."

Wesley then said, "Alright let's try…"

Korrina yelled, "Mienshao High Jump now!"

"Psychic beam!"

The weasel went high and Gardevoir shot at it like a target and the explosion was massive as the Meinshao went crashing into the field, unconscious. Wesley had a worried look on his face as he thought he may have killed it. Gardevoir then told Wesley, "He isn't dead, calm down."

Then Korrina returned her Mienshao back to her little sphere, she then congratulated, "Not bad Ensign, you beat Mienshao as your first Pokémon battle."

Wesley then said, "Thanks but, what about her?"

Korrina and Gardevoir looked at each other and the gym leader said, "Well, she obviously likes you and you have just commanded her in battle so technically she would be yours."

Wesley then said, "If it is alright with commander Riker then I can have her come to Enterprise."

Riker then walked over and said, "Well, of course she can. She can even work on Enterprise."

Gardevoir's heart fluttered as she then hugged Wesley and he said, "I see why they are called the embrace Pokémon."

Korrina laughed a bit and then asked, "So where are you four from?"

Riker asked, "From as in born?"

Korrina explained, "Well, where you are from as in home region."

Riker said, "I'm from Alaska, a north American state."

Worf then said, "I am from Qo'nos."

Dat then said, "Originally I was built in a colony which was destroyed later on."

And Wesley then said, "I'm from (I don't know where he is from)."

Korrina asked, "Wait, what do you mean by built?"

Data explained, "I am not a human, I am an android."

"Huh, I have a friend named Clement who also built an android, but it got destroyed about a few months back."

Data then was intrigued and asked, "There was a successfully built android?"

"According to what Clement and Ash said, yeah."

"Perhaps it is possible to meet this Clement and Ash."

Korrina then explained, "Well, Ash went back to Kanto, but Clement lives in Lumonise city."

Riker asked, "And we are?"

"You're on my father's island, but I technically run the place now."

"No, what I meant was what region we are in since you said something about that."

"Oh, we're in the Kalos region."

Worf then asked, "I have a question, if I may battle with your Lucario Pokémon here?"

Korrina then said, "Are you sure on that?"

Riker then said, "Worf here is a Klingon, I'm sure he can take a few hits."

"Alright then, you can go, but I want Bisharp to watch over, come out Bisharp."

Out came a steel humanoid with an axe on his head. Then Korrina told it, "Wathc over these tow as they fight, I don't want Mr. Worf here having his limbs broken off."

Worf then said, "I don't think that will happen."

Then the Klingon and two Pokémon walked in as the rest stayed out. They talked a bit for about a minute until they ehard a yell, "LUCCAAAAA!"

Riker then said with a smile, "I think Worf won."

A few seconds later, Worf came out with multiple bruises and Lucario came out with his arm in a heaping amount of pain. Worf said, "I may have overdone the twisting of his arm."

Gardevoir went up the Lucario and healed the arm. Wesley was impressed like the rest of the away team and he asked, "How did you heal him?"

She said, "I have a move where I can heal."

Riker then said, "Maybe with the captain's permission we could allow you and your friends on Enterprise for a cultural exchange and technology look over."

Korrina agreed, "Well, you seem pretty friendly, I'll accept your invite."

Riker then nodded and tapped his badge and said, "Riker to Picard."

The captain replied, "Picard here."

"We are bringing some guests aboard including someone who will be staying with Wesley."

"Alright, but no animals on the ship, after the last group we had."

"Don't worry captain, they are not animals."

"Alright then, I give permission to beam aboard."

Riker tapped his badge again and said, "Riker to O' Brien"

It said, "O' Brien here."

"Beam all life sings to transporter room."

"Aye, sir."

And a blue swirl brought them up.

Meanwhile on the other side of the region, a man and his Braxien is traveling on the roads to Kindlertown. However he heard something moving in the forest. He walked into to see some strange men in weird suits attaching metallic piece to a Blaziken and a Greninja (Not the main one). He yelled at the men, "Hey what are doing?"

They ignored him and kept on attaching parts. Then one of them cut off the Greninja's arm and replace with a mechanical one. The man grew furious and said, "You can't do that, who do you think you are?"

He told his Braixen, "Use flamethrower!"

She burnt up the grass and bushes until one of the men turned toward them and shocked the man as he saw they weren't just people, they were cyborgs. It walked closer and the man said, "Stay back."

The cyborg didn't listen and then the man ran back only to be encounter by two more cyborgs, own with pointed ears and one with large ears and a wrinkled nose. The man and his Braixen were scared and then the cyborg in theb back stuck two prongs into the man's neck and then a voice appeared as he heard, "You will be assimilated."

And the last thing he saw was his Braixen having her neck stuck with prongs as well.

An excellent introduction to our new antagonists, review for the end of this chapter. :D
