Collisions chapter 2
"I know I'm not one" Mark continued "I'm a Digimon; short for digital monsters, my names Mark, the Wanyamon" finishing with a polite smile and nod (somehow).
Silence descended upon the trio, as Nurse Joy's brain tried to start itself again, while James gave a quick glance around the place he and Mark had found themselves in, he couldn't help but be reminded of a hospital waiting room, even the smell of disinfectant swam within the air, or maybe it was a veterinary clinic, as James was sure he could hear animals scratching at the door to his right (Nurse Joy's left) as well as some really weird noises that sounded like words. As the, almost silence continued, Mark and James looked at each other puzzled, this place was defiantly not what they expected the digital world to be like, although Mark was from the Digital world he hadn't explored much of it so he couldn't say what some areas of the digital world would look like. Nurse Joy continued to stand in front of them still shocked at the sight of a Pokémon? Digimon? Talking in front of her, as she regained her ability to think, disaster struck. The program that operated the door rebooted itself and could be opened by either a registered human, such as Nurse Joy or her Audino. The door recognized Audino's input and swung open, releasing a torrent of panicking Pokémon.
James and Mark screamed, diving over the counter to avoid being trampled on by, as James saw them; mutated animals. James scrambled off the floor and grabbed Mark by his tail, and proceeded to charge towards the door in front of him in a wild state of panic, cutting out Marks cries of combined pain and fear. James looked behind him to see a red monkey with a red fluffy tail and hair in fiery curls, what caught James's attention most was that the monkey's mouth was a blazing yellow, and flames encircled its rim. Time slowed to a snail's pace, James stared in horror as a long sickly red flame bellowed out from the monkey's mouth, and James dived to the left, thankfully dodging the fire blast. From beneath the blue counter to which they had dived to, James and Mark watched as the fire blast smashed through the double doors in front of them in a musical twinkle of glass, not wanting to stay any longer, Mark and James made a hasty exit through the now destroyed doors, leaving Nurse Joy to deal with the panicking animals.
Outside James and Mark found themselves in a small rural town, but it just whisked past them as they ran, fear stricken, they also ran through a tunnel like thing, on the outside it was grey with a green roof, for the few moment they saw of its inside as they ran through James and Mark noticed a women working at a blue topped counter, shouting at them and a screen showing an image of the place they just ran through. On the other side of the tunnel, a lush green forest came up to meet them, but they still ran on….
It was only a few minutes later of straight sprinting, jumping in Marks case, that they came to rest under a large tree, that resembled a weeping willow, As the adrenaline left his body, James felt a wave of exhaustion pass over him, to his right Mark was having the same feeling, it was almost as if they had never came to the digital world, never gone through the Digiport, but where instead at home, in the woods, without a care in the world. Home. Parents!
"OH GOD, MUM AND DAD!" James shot up "they'll be wondering where I am"
"Don't worry" Mark spoke reassuringly "to get to the digital world we had to pass through a computer screen didn't we, and then we came out of one too, so if they have computer screens and the like then it's obvious-"
"BUT WE'RE NOT IN THE DIGITAL WORLD" James grabbed Mark off the floor and shook him roughly "YOU SAID IT YOURSELF"
Mark groaned and spouted some nonsense about chocolate teddy bears, which earned him the honour of being thrown to the ground. James was about to continue berating Mark when a disembodied voice stopped him.
"That's no way to treat your Pokémon"
Turning around James saw a girl looking disapprovingly at him past some trees, as she came towards them James could see that she wore a yellow T-shirt and a white jumper acting as a scarf, she also wore a white, frilled skirt topped off with long white socks that reached for her knees and brown shoes, to perfect the school girl look.
"I know" James looked at the ground "He's not a Pokémon!" He thought
"I'm just really stressed" he turned to Mark "can you forgive me buddy?"
Mark sat beneath the tree, his ears a tail flicking as he sat in mock thought before with a resounding cry.
"Of course!" he leapt into James's waiting arm "after all, I'm your best friend"
"WHOA! It can talk," she rushed up to get a closer look at Mark "I've never seen a Pokémon that can talk before"
From an unseen pocket in the back of her skirt, she pulled out a white rectangular device with pink edges, it then extended as the back segment slid above the top, from what James could see the two screens displayed green with black arrows. The girl then pointed the device at Mark.
"Analysing….unidentified Pokémon, bzzt, bzzt"
A few more buzzing sounds came from the device and a lot of 1's and 0's scrolled across the screens before going blank, a growl of frustration came from the girls throat, before repeatedly bashing it with her palm, but the screens stayed blank.
"What did you do?"
"I didn't do anything" James and Mark replied together
"You must have done something!" she poked James hard in the chest "it was working fine before I scanned your Pokémon!"
"I would like to point out to you people that I'm a Digimon" Mark spoke
"Well whatever you Pokémon's name is, you still owe me a new Pokédex"
"I'm a Digimon" Mark tried to point out
"But I don't have any money with me" James protested
"Is it so hard to understand" Mark chattered on
"Fine then"
Here the girl walked a little way in the direction in front of James, before turning round and pointing at him, and in a grand tone stated.
"I, lass Mali, Challenge you to a Pokémon battle, the loser buys me a new Pokédex"
After a short silence that mainly composed of Mark and James looking at each other, James replied.
"I, um-Digidestined James, Accept your challenge, just one question"
"What is it?" Mali sighed as she reached behind her back, to grab her poke ball
"Can I use my Digimon, because I haven't got a Pokémon?"
Mali gave a questioning look before answering "whatever the name of the Pokémon's species is, I'm sure you can use it"
"I'M A DIGIMON" Mark yelled in rage
Mark leapt from James's arms and onto the ground, his fur puffed up in anger, he also hissed for effect.
"Wow, eager aren't we, okay" she pulled out a sphere from behind her back "Purrloin centre field"
From where James stood he could see that the top half of it was red while the bottom was white, before it split in half, spewing out a red light, inside the red light James could see a shadow, then it gained features and colour, before the red light returned to the sphere. Looking at the thing that came out of the sphere, James saw it as a cat, but its tail looked like a boomerang at the end, its eyes were huge, and its eyelids were pink with its body being mainly of purple fur, with some cream spots, it basically made James feel a bit dizzy.
"Purrloin, scratch!"
James watched in awe as the 'Purrloins' claws extended, then it charged at Mark, Mark screamed in surprise, as the talons clawed over his face, sending him rolling backwards.
"Man, what a weak Pokémon" Mali stated obnoxiously
"He's a Digimon!" James turned to Mark "Don't you have any attacks?"
Mark eagerly bounced ahead of James
"I have one" Mark stopped just in front of the Purrloin, Mila ordered her Purrloin to use scratch again, but Mark was faster.
"SMILEY FANG"
Marks pupils enlarged, his tail curled around himself, and his mouth made a cute 3 shape (think of the cutest thing ever, then times it by 2, you have Mark). Purrloin stopped in its tracks spell bound by this ball of cuteness before it. Without warning Mark dived at the Purrloin, fangs bared before sinking into the Purrloins left ear. A piercing screech erupted from the Purrloin, making Mark let go of its ear, blood trickling down through its fur the Purrloin sat, dazed by the sight of its own blood.
"PURRLOIN!" Mila screamed "what did you do? You can't do that!"She rushed forward to console her Purrloin
"But, you said it was a battle?" James spoke, slightly worried that he did something really bad
"Yeah, but you're not supposed to hurt Pokémon like this"
Mark hoped forward a bit "good grief, it's just a little scratch, it's more blood than anything"
This statement was responded to by some harsh glares.
"Hold on, I've got some potions"
Once again her hand went behind her back, this time she brought out a squirt bottle, with a purple base and white top. She sprayed a few squirts onto the Purrloins left ear, and almost instantly, the blood seemed to fade away too. James and Mark looked on in amazement, they didn't have anything like that at home, and they said so.
"So where do you come from?" Mila stood up again
"England" James replied
"And I come from the Digital World!" mark jumped
Mila pulled out the sphere from her back again, and called her Purrloin back into it.
"Never heard of those regions" Mila placed her hand on her hip "are they south of Unova?"
James and Mark gave her blank looks, they'd never heard of Unova.
"Oh silly me, or are they North of here"
"Well to be honest...we've never heard of Unova" James said apologetically
"WHAT!" Mila almost shouted obviously surprised "How can you not have heard of Unova? Our Cargo planes travel all over the world delivering delicious vegetables grown at Mistralton City"
"Sorry, but me and Mark-" James began, but was cut off by a strange voice to his right through the woods
"WYNAAAAAAUUUT!"
James turned to his left and was taken aback by what he saw, it was a small cyan-blue thing hiding among the trees, with a balloon-shaped body and a black tail with an eye-spot on it, and its ears dangled down to the floor, below this wart like growth.
"What is that?" James looked behind him, where Mila had dived
Mila peaked her head above his shoulder "that's a Wynaut, there are a few living in these woods, but they're really strong, only really strong Pokémon trainers fight them"
"So, aren't you gonna fight it?"
"What! But your Pokémon's stronger than mine" She pushed him forward, ignoring Marks remarks
When Mila was satisfied with where she had moved James, She quickly rushed backwards, picking up Mark; she threw him towards James, who thankfully caught the angry Digimon. Turning back to the weird creature called a Wynaut; James saw it had come forward so that it now stood in plain sight, and it was slapping its tail on the ground.
Mila answered why it was doing that "If a Wynaut is slapping its tail on the ground that means it's enraged"
"Nice to know, so what do we do?" Mark asked rather rudely
"Battle it, duh, what kind of Pokémon are you"
"I'm gonna slap that girl so hard" Mark thought before jumping out of James's arms and onto the ground "LETS GO!" he charged towards the Wynaut "SMILEY FANG"
Mark repeated what he did with Mila's Purrloin before charging at the Wynaut, fangs bared charging at the Wynaut, fangs bared, however, the Wynaut was prepared and countered the attack by swinging its ears and hitting Mark, sending him flying into a nearby tree.
"Mark!"
