(A/N: So I had been thinking and I think I'm going to extend the plot a little bit, since I think it's time to do some story work outside the U.S.)


Chapter 6: Mission Briefing

Once getting back to the Nomad, we waited until further instructions on where to go, since at this point, Summers could be anywhere. Once getting inside and relaxing from the battle, I then noticed Dawn sitting on the couch.

"Hey," I said, sitting next to her and putting my arm around her. "You alright? I bet you're probably a bit shaken up."

Dawn only smiled while shaking her head. "Chris, I'm fine, really," she said.

"Are you sure?" I said, "I mean it's a little nerve-racking having a gun pointed at your face. Me, personally, I'm not quite-"

"Chris," she said, interrupting me. "I've stared death in the face plenty of times, in many different ways." She looked at me with a serious look.

"Yeah, I forgot about that," I said. A wave of guilt suddenly hit me. "I should've done something anyway, the only reason you're alive is because of luck."

Dawn then grabbed my hands. "Chris, you know there's no such thing as luck," she said. "Besides, don't get down on yourself for that. You couldn't do anything anyway, so please don't feel guilty."

"You're right," I said, kissing her on the cheek. "Besides, I'm going to have to stay focused on this mission."

All of a sudden, a beeping sound was heard. Otacon, who was at his laptop, took a look at it. "It's the Colonel," he said.

Once we gathered around, the screen flickered on, showing the Colonel himself. "It's good to see you're all in one piece," he said. "I guess Summers got away, huh?"

"Unfortunately, yes," Otacon said. "Even so, we made some interesting discoveries down there. That base wasn't a military base, it was a research facility."

"Most likely more captured Pokemon," I said. "The only question is, what are they planning on doing with them."

"If what you say about them is true," Snake said, "Then they'll be able to take on armies without much problem."

"We may have been able to track him down," Colonel said. "A couple of hours ago, we received a video message from Venice, Italy."

Then, a video popped up on the screen. It then showed a young Italian soldier staring into a camera. "My name is Antonio Benzetti, of the 33rd Field Artillery Regiment "Acqui." Enemy forces have infiltrated into Venice, and are pressing forward. It won't be long till the city will be overrun. If anyone gets this, we need outside military aid immediately!"

The video then cut off. Snake then looked back to the Colonel. "How is the White House responding to this?"

"The President is meeting with world leaders in an emergency conference in Geneva," Colonel responded. "However, troops are being pulled out of Iraq and Afghanistan to aid German and Italian forces in Italy. We have suspicions that Summers may be there as well, lying in the shadows."

"Then I guess we're heading to Venice then," I said. From here to Italy, we would get there sometime in the morning hours.


After a couple of hours since we took off, Otacon had been doing some research, looking up any information he could find on Sector 7. "Wait a minute," he said, looking at certain pictures. "Oh this is not good."

"Otacon, what's wrong?" Snake said.

"Take a look at these pictures," Otacon said. Snake then looked at the pictures. "These are some of the tanks used by Sector 7. Notice anything familiar about them?"

"Thats a M1A1 Abrams Tank from the U.S. Army," Snake said. "A Type 98 Main Battle Tank, and a T-90 Vladimir. How in the world did they get blueprints from the U.S., Chinese, and Russians?"

"I don't know, I fear that there may be agents in the governments high enough in power to get a hold of these blueprints. If they're using them together, this could be a huge problem for all of us," Otacon said.

"Even so, they can't possibly have the numbers that each country has, it's almost impossible to have production rates that high," Snake said.

"I wouldn't get your hopes up Snake," Otacon said. "I think you can agree with me on this saying that these days the impossible can happen."

"Good point," Snake said. "Wait a minute, you don't think they would know about Metal Gear?"

"If you mean REX, then probably not," Otacon said. "I'm the only one who has the blueprints to build REX the right way. RAY, however, is a different case. But I don't see why they would need RAY to accomplish this when they have something just as powerful."

"An army always likes to come prepared, even if they don't need to use all their supplies," Snake said.

"You do have a point there," Otacon said, sighing. "Let's just hope my hunch is right."


It had finally gotten dark outside, and was starting to get late. I felt like a huge weight had been lifted off of me. Well, I had taken off all my gear, so it was appropriate to say that. I was laying in one of the sleeping bags that the Nomad had.

"So, what is Venice like?" Dawn said, lying next to me in her own sleeping bag.

"Well, it definitely has a good reputation," I said, smiling. "It's been known as the "La Dominante", "Serenissima", "Queen of the Adriatic", "City of Water", "City of Bridges", "The City of Light," and is often cited as one of the most beautiful cities in the world, making it a perfect getaway for love and romance."

Dawn laughed. "Wow, you sure know your cities well."

"Yeah, unfortunately now it's been turned into a war zone, but Europe is known to have the most beautiful cities in the world," I said. "Unfortunately, it costs a fortune to travel around."

"Well, even if it was a war zone or not, I'd still love to see it," Dawn said, getting close to me. "Maybe if we have the chance, we can check out the full city."

"Yeah, with the luck we've had lately, I doubt that will happen," I said, laughing. "Still, if this whole thing was done with then, we could surely use the vacation."

"I can agree with that," Dawn said, before our lips met.


Mightyena had been resting on the floor of the plane, allowing the gentle shaking of the floor to make him fall asleep. However, his ears went up and his eyes flashed open in response. In front of him stood Pikachu and Pikette, and they seemed a little uncomfortable.

"Why do you seem afraid of me?" Mightyena said, giving them both a confused look.

"Scared? Us? No way," Pikette said. "You're just, how do we say it...?"

"Intimidating," Pikachu said, finishing the sentence.

Mightyena smiled. "I'm just as playful as I am intimidating," he said, getting to his feet while stretching. "So," he said, looking at Pikette. "You're from our world as well?"

"Yes," Pikette said. "Due to some events, I had been transported from my world to here."

"I see," Mightyena said. "And do you wish to go back?"

Pikette hesitated, while looking at Pikachu. "I... don't know," she said. "I grew up in my world, and yet, I feel happier with Pikachu." She then had tears in her eyes. "But I also have good friends who I had left behind."

Mightyena looked at the small yellow Pokemon. He had not be known to show such emotions for a very long time. He had been trained, and trained hard, as a Poochyena, for the duties he would fulfill in his future. As one, he had first been somewhat emotional and loving. And yet, despite his evolution and still loving nature, he had become hardened as a warrior, not showing nearly as much emotion. All he knew know the way of the warrior and being in a battlefield. It was because of this that he was able to survive each and everyday.

"One day, Chris will no longer need me," he said. "You could come with me back to our world."

"You would do that for me?" Pikette said. While she seemed happy about that, there was one thing that was still holding her back. "But, Pikachu, what about you?" she said.

"I can't leave Ash behind," Pikachu said. He then looked to her. "Don't worry about me. The choice is yours."

Pikette looked at him, and with tears in her eyes, she quickly turned away and ran off.

Pikachu sighed. He then looked to Mightyena. "I know she would want to stay with me, but if she would be more happy going back to her own world, then that is what she should do."

"She has to make that decision herself," Mightyena said. "And in the end, that choice will be the right decision for her." He then laid down again, closing his eyes.

Pikachu then left, looking for Pikette. He then found her crying in the one hallway. He went up to her slowly and placed a paw on her.

She sighed, but did not turn around. "You must find it silly that I'm acting this way," she said.

"No," Pikachu said, turning her so that she was facing him. "Whatever choice you could ever make, it's your choice, not mine, and don't ever think I won't respect your decision."

Pikette smiled while wiping her tears. "I know. It's just that I don't know what decision to make. It would almost be like choosing between Ash and Chris for you."

"Yeah, I know exactly what you mean," Pikachu said. "But then again, if he loves Dawn so much, then he should stay with her."

Pikette looked to him in surprise. Then she smiled again. "You're right, he should, and I'll do the same," she said, taking Pikachu's paws.

"Are you sure?" Pikachu said.

Pikette nodded. "I know I have friends back in my world, but once they know where I am and how I found a great Pokemon to fall in love with, they'll be happy for me."

Pikachu smiled. "I love you," he said before kissing her on the lips. After about a minute, they broke the kiss and gave each other a hug.

"You know," Pikette said, with a mischievous look. "We should try to find ourselves a place for ourselves."

"Ourselves?" Pikachu said, looking at her suspiciously. "What are you getting at?"

"Oh, I think you know," she said seductively, and Pikachu caught on.

"Uh, I don't know," he said, putting a paw behind his head. "Maybe we should just-"

But he was interrupted when Pikette grabbed his paw and dragged him to the closest empty room. After closing the door, Pikette quickly kissed Pikachu, and he quickly lost the will to object. He put his paws around her waist while she put her paws around his neck.

While kissing her, he then proceeded to stick his tongue in her, surprising her but she did the same. She then pushed him back slightly and got on top of him.

"Pikachu, can you just do me one favor?" Pikette said.

"Anything," Pikachu said.

"Don't tell anyone about this," Pikette said. "It might be a little too much for anyone to hear."

"Even Chris?" Pikachu said.

"Well... maybe not," Pikette said. "But don't tell him either unless he does find out, but I trust him enough not to say anything."

They soon got to be kissing, but this time more passionately. Both of them seemed surprised at what they were doing but they didn't care. All of a sudden, Pikachu rolled over so that he was now on top. They gripped each other harder, their hormones raging inside of them. And at the very last moment, they both gave a huge gasp and finally stopped, gasping for air.

Pikachu got off and went on his back, gasping for air. He couldn't believe what just happened.

"So that's what it feels like," Pikette said, gasping out of breath as well.

"Did we just do, what I think we just did?" Pikachu said.

"Yes, we did," Pikette said.

"Well," Pikachu said, turning to her with a smile on his face. "I enjoyed it very much."

"So did I," Pikette said, taking his paw.


After quite some time, Dawn and I stopped kissing, gasping for air. "You know, I was thinking," I said. "What if Pikachu and Pikette ended up... well you know?"

"What, having sex?" Dawn said, laughing. "I think that would be just wonderful."

"You do?" I asked, surprised.

"Well of course," Dawn said. "They were made for each other, and with the skills and power they have, their offspring will be just as powerful."

"Offspring?" I said. Now that was a weird thought.

"Yeah, how do you think there's so many Pokemon?" Dawn said, smirking. "Sooner or later Pikachu will end up having to raise a family."

"Well, I knew that, but yeah, I guess you're right," I said. "I wouldn't be surprised if they ended up doing it right now." Little did I know that was what just happened.


(A/N: Umm, yeah, that really just happened. Two Pokemon just had sex, although I had to dumb it down a little bit, didn't want to go overboard, plus I'm not really sure how it goes, so I decided to play it safe. Now before anyone says anything: 1. It's perfectly fine for two Pokemon to have sex, hence why there's so many of them, and 2. you know the rating on this so it's perfectly fine to write. Anyway, I decided for the next part to split it into two other parts. Hopefully, that'll give me a little more balance in the storyline. So, I hope you liked this and next part will get back into the action.)
