Whazzup guys? The guys and I are back with Criminal Protection! Where we pay a little friend a visit.
Pikachu: Who is it?
Me: Not gonna tell.
Pikachu: Is it Professor Juniper?
Me: Nope.
Pikachu: Professor Birch?
Me: I wish it was him, but no.
Pikachu: Is it -
Me: One more guess and I'll get Giratina here.
Pikachu: *(Nervously)* Now, now, let's not get hasty here. Heh, heh...
Me: Pokemon belongs to Nintendo and Game Freak. Anyways, on with the story!
The gang continued on to the next town (with Victoria holding Aura's hand). Then Aura got a realization.
"Hey, Ruby, why don't we visit Professor Elm again? I'd like for the rest of the gang to meet Victoria," Aura suggested.
"That's not a bad idea. Yeah, I'd like to see the gang again. Would you, Coco?" Ruby replied.
"Eevee!" ("Yeah!") Coco shouted.
"How about you guys?" Ruby said.
"Yeah. I'd like to see Professor Elm again," Misty said.
"Plus, I'd also like to see the rest of your Pokemon, too," Ash said.
"So, that's a yes for everyone?" Ruby asked.
"Agreed," Everybody concluded.
"I'll get Kirlia to do it. Kirlia, use Teleport!" Max shouted, throwing a Poke Ball. The Emotion Pokemon appeared before everyone and glowed multicolored. She then became outlined in light blue and disappeared along with the rest of the group. In a matter of seconds, they reappeared in front of Professor Elm's lab.
"Thanks, Kirlia," Max thanked.
"Kirlia," ("No problem,") Kirlia replied.
"I want you guys to meet my mother first," Ruby said. She then started to run to the house next to the lab.
"Ruby, wait!" Cilan shouted before he and the rest of the group ran after her. Then Ruby stopped at the door and knocked on it.
"Hello? Anyone here?" She said. Then at the door, Jade appeared.
"Ruby?" Jade asked.
"Hi, Mama! I missed you so much!" Ruby replied.
"Vee, eeveevee!" ("Hi, Jade!") Coco chirped, jumping into her arms and nuzzling into her.
"Hello, Coco. Nice to see you, too. So, who are your friends?" Jade asked.
"Mom, this is Ash, Brock, Misty, May, Max, Dawn, Ritchie, Iris and Cilan," Ruby introduced respectively.
"Hello to all of you," Jade said cheerfully. "Do they know about your secret?" She asked in Ruby's ear quietly.
"Don't worry. They promised to keep it a secret," Ruby assured her.
"In that case, welcome," Jade said. She then noticed Aura and Victoria.
"Hi, Aura. Who's your friend?" She asked.
"Actually, she is technically my 'daughter'. We hatched little Victoria from an Egg and I was the first thing she saw," Aura explained.
"Oh, I get it. Hello, little one," Jade said, reaching her hand to Victoria. But once again, Victoria hid behind Aura at the sight of this new stranger. But once she saw that the stranger wasn't attacking her, Victoria floated up to Jade and looked curiously. She then nuzzled into Jade, cooing.
"Aww, she likes you. Anyway, we got here because we wanted to show Victoria to the rest of the gang," Ruby informed.
"Well, that sounds splendid. Go ahead. Professor Elm's probably waiting to see you," Jade said.
"Thanks, Mama. Let's go, guys," Ruby said, heading to the lab. Victoria jumped out of Jade's arms and followed her 'mother'. The gang went inside Professor Elm's lab.
"Hello? Professor Elm?" Ruby called. Then the Professor himself walked in.
"Hello, Ruby. I wasn't expecting you," Elm said.
"Actually, I want you to meet my new Pokemon," Ruby said, picking Victoria up. "Say hello, Victoria," She introduced.
"V-Victini," ("H-Hello,") Victoria chirped, shaking slightly.
"Is that the Legendary Pokemon Victini?" Elm asked astounded.
"Yes it is. See, we hatched her," Ruby explained.
"With me being her 'mother'," Aura backed up.
"Well, can we see how our team is doing?" Ruby asked.
"Of course. Come here," Elm said, directing everyone down the hallway. At the end of the hallway, they saw a bipedal, blue crocodile-like Pokemon with red spines on its back and tail. The spine on its back was larger with additional ridges. Its head was large, with ridges above its eyes. There are two visible teeth on the tip of its upper jaw, and two rows of three teeth on each side of its lower jaw. On its chest is a yellow, somewhat V-shaped pattern that extends to its arms with a line bisecting the pattern. It had five sharp claws and three toes. Its eyes were red and surrounded by a dark blue or black pattern. It was also holding a stick and had a small ribbon on its tail.
"It's a Totodile!" Brock observed.
"Hey, Aqua. How have you been doing?" Ruby said, petting her.
"Totodile!" Aqua chirped. But when she saw the rest of the gang, she grabbed her stick and readied her stance, ready to fight to the end.
"Whoa, hold up! Aqua, these are friends of mine," Ruby explained.
Aqua skeptically looked at the gang. But after she noticed that they weren't attacking her, she dropped her stick, acknowledging that the group were not enemies. She saw Victoria and nearly passed out at the sight of her. Aqua looked at Ruby, expecting some answers.
"I know what you're thinking. We hatched little Victoria from an Egg. We wanted you guys to meet her," Ruby explained.
"Don't forget that I'm her 'mother'," Aura said.
"Toto totodile," ("No problem,") Aqua said, directing the group to a garden.
"Thanks, Aqua. Come on out everyone!" Ruby shouted, throwing her Poke Balls.
Out came Kitty, Skull, Missy, Angel, Little Blue, Shelly, Duchess, Scar, Chuchu, Mystic, Hydra, Tia, Raven, Liz, Buoy, Charcoal, Biter, Ryu and Dragirl. They were happy to be back at Professor Elm's lab. Then the group heard a earthquake. They saw a cloud of dust racing towards them.
"What's that?" May asked fearfully.
"It's all of my Pokemon!" Ruby answered.
"Those are all of yours?" Ash asked astonished.
"Yeah. Hey guys, I'm right here!" Ruby said, waving her arms.
The cloud of dust faded away and the group saw a huge Pokemon. The first Pokemon was a Torterra with a flower on its shell.
"Or one of them. Hey Terra. How's the garden been doing?" Ruby asked, petting the Continent Pokemon.
"Terra," ("Great,") She replied, purring at Ruby's petting.
Then Iris felt something rubbing her leg. She saw a bipedal, blue, reptilian Pokemon that vaguely resembled a Pachycephalosaurus. It possessed a large, round snout, triangular eyes, yellow, circular ears similar to reptiles, and a yellow lower jaw with two teeth protruding upwards. Three thick, gray ridges covered the top of its head, and continue downwards to cover its neck as well. There was a triangular patch of yellow on its underside. It had stubby, digit-less arms and short legs with two toes on each foot.
"It's a Bagon!" Iris observed.
"Apparently, Hope likes you. Maybe because you're a Dragon-type Trainer," Ruby said. She then also felt something hugging her leg. She saw two Pokemon. The first Pokemon was an orange, bipedal, reptilian creature. It had two small fangs visible on its upper and lower jaws and blue eyes. It had a cream-colored underside and an expansive cream marking on the soles of its feet. Its arms and legs were short, and it has four fingers and three clawed toes. A flame burned on the tip of its tail. There was also a pink ribbon on the middle of its tail. The second Pokemon was a small, bipedal Pokemon with bluish fur on top of its body, and a milky color on the underside. It seemed to be a composite of features from the echidna and the shrew. The echidna features are the flames from its back, while its general body shape is shrew-like. Its eyes were closed and it had a long, thin snout. It lacked claws on its forelimbs, but had a single claw on each hind foot. It had four red spots on its back.
"Charmander!" "Cyndaquil!" They chirped.
"Hey Cinder! Hey Cindi!" Ruby said, picking them up.
"Aww, they look cute together!" May complimented.
"Thanks!" Ruby replied. She then put the Flame and Fire Mouse Pokemon down and saw a small, quadruped Pokemon with green or bluish green skin and dark patches. Its thick legs each ended with three sharp claws. Its eyes had red irises, while the sclera and pupils were white. It had a bulb on its back. On the bulb was a flower.
"Bulbasaur!" It chirped.
"Hi, Rose! How's my little Bulbasaur doing?" Ruby asked, petting the Seed Pokemon. Rose cooed as a response.
"Ruby!" A feminine voice shouted happily.
Then Ruby saw two Pokemon running toward her. The first one was a quadruped, mammalian Pokemon with a dark blue to gray body covered in white fur. It had a ruff around its neck and chest and a tuft on the top of its head adorned with a single blue-black oval. It had a feline face with almond-shaped, red eyes, a scythe-like tail, and a sickle-shaped horn on the side of its head. Its broad feet had three claws each, and spikes protruded from the heels of its hind legs and the elbows of its front legs. The second one was a bipedal mushroom and kangaroo-like Pokemon with short arms. It had a mushroom-like green cap on its head with visible gills and a round, berry or oak gall-like growth on both sides. Its head, neck, and tail were tan. Its mouth was beak-like, and there was a petal-like arrangement of extensions from its shoulders. Its chest and lower body was green, and its feet and hands had two red claws each. At the end of its tail, there were seed clusters. They hugged Ruby excitedly.
"It's a Absol and Breloom!" Max observed.
"Scythe! Kinosa!" Ruby said, also hugging them. But when Scythe saw the group, she growled and her namesake glowed white, preparing to attack. Ruby noticed it and immediately stepped in front of the Disaster Pokemon.
"Scythe, stop it! These are my friends. They mean us no harm," She informed.
Scythe also looked at the group skeptically and stopped preparing her Razor Wind attack.
"Sorry about that. I didn't know that you were friendly. It's been a while ever since I seen a friendly face," Scythe informed.
"It's OK. I'm not complaining, but why do some of your Pokemon act like that?" May asked.
"See, Aqua, Scythe and Kinosa protect the place from any harm. And it's been a while ever since they seen a friendly face like you guys," Ruby explained. "Hey, where's the lake?" She asked, looking around. She then saw a large lake near a tree.
"There it is. Come on guys!" She said, running to the lake. The group followed her and at the lake were two Pokemon: one in the lake and one out of it. The figure that was in the lake was a large, blue fish-like Pokemon with a pair of small blue fins. It had a yellow 'mask' over its red eyes. The tip of the bottom of its tail was also colored yellow. Its yellow orbs came from a modification of its dorsal fin. The figure outside of the lake was a small amphibious quadruped Pokemon. It had a blue body with a light-blue underside. It had a large head with a blue fin on top, and a light-blue tail fin. It had black, beady eyes and orange, star-shaped gills on its cheeks. It also had a pink ribbon on its tail.
"That's Star and Seashell," Ruby introduced. She then saw a tree near the lake. Under the tree were four Pokemon sleeping. The first figure was a small, quadruped, fox-like Pokemon. It had a red-brown pelt, brown, pupil-less eyes, large, pointed ears with dark brown insides, and six orange tails with curled tips. It also had curled locks of orange fur with bangs on top of its head. It had a cream underbelly, and brown feet with lighter brown paw pads. The second figure was a furry, gray chinchilla-like Pokemon with scruffs of fur on its head and neck. It had large ears on the sides of its head with red insides partly covered by tufts of fur. It had large, brown eyes and a small, dot-like nose. Its limbs were somewhat rounded and small, and its tail was long and particularly furry. The third figure was a purple, serpentine Pokemon. Its eyes, underbelly, stripe, and rattle were yellow. It had three pairs of black lines encircling its body, as well as another line that connected each slitted eye and curves toward its nose. Its large mouth had a round, pink tongue and no visible teeth. The last figure was a large, red dragonfly-like Pokemon. Compared to its long, thin abdomen, its thorax was short and wide. It had three pairs of two-toed legs and two pairs of wings with red bands on them. A bright green mask marking covered most of its face, and it had two spikes on top of its head. The end of its tail had two flat extensions from the sides and two gray spikes in the center.
"It's a Vulpix, Minccino, Ekans and Yanma," Ash observed.
"Shh! They're sleeping!" Ruby informed quietly.
"Sorry," Ash apologized.
Then all of a sudden, a Pokemon appeared behind Iris. It was another Yamask and it eerily wailed behind her, making Iris nearly jumping out of her skin.
"It's another Yamask!" Cilan identified.
"Yamimasu, quit doing that!" Ruby ordered. "Sorry. She and her little buddies like to scare people like that. Speaking of which, where is Candle and Volt, Yamimasu?" She asked.
In a matter of seconds, two Pokemon appeared beside the Spirit Pokemon. The first one was a small, candle-like Pokemon with a purple flame atop its head. Its body and two stubby arms were made of primarily of white wax. The folded, melted wax laid over its right eye, and left only the bright yellow left eye visible. It had a small smile under a protruding upper lip. The second Pokemon had a body of plasma and was shaped like a lightning rod. There was a whitish blue aura of electricity around it that formed lightning bolt-shaped arms. It had teeth, and its unique, blue eyes have a dividing line across them.
"It's a Litwick and Rotom!" Dawn identified.
"These three are mostly the troublemakers," Ruby introduced. "OK, two more Pokemon to meet and that's it," She said.
Then in a matter of seconds, a Pokemon tackled her to the ground, nuzzling into her. It was another Shinx with a blue ribbon on the star part of its tail.
"I'm happy to see you too, Sparx," Ruby said, petting the Flash Pokemon. "Have you seen Beacon?" She asked.
Sparx nodded and ran north. The gang followed her and saw a yellow, bipedal Pokemon with a white belly. It had conical ears with black stripes and a red orb on its forehead. Its long neck had several black rings around it near the base. Its stubby arms resembled flippers and each foot had a single white nail. It had a long, black-striped tail with a red orb at the tip. It was also sniffing some flowers.
"It's an Ampharos!" Misty recognized.
"That's Beacon. She loves plant life in any way," Ruby explained. "Now you've met all my Pokemon," She said.
"They're great!" Ash complimented.
"And cute too," May backed up.
"Thanks, guys," Ruby thanked.
Unknown to them, a strange figure stood behind the whole garden and lab. It saw Little Blue and smirked.
"I found you now, Piplup. And you're not getting away this time," A male voice declared.
Me: Holy crap! Who was that?!
Pikachu: More importantly, why is he going after Little Blue?
Coco: I dunno, but probably because she did something wrong to him.
Little Blue: Did not!
Me: Great, now how did you get here?
Little Blue: Once I heard that voice, I ran in here.
Shelly: So did I.
Me: Good grief. OK, you can stay, but only for the next chapter.
Little Blue & Shelly: Works for us.
Me: Anyways, that's it for today! R & R! ;D
