Pokémon Trainer Hero
Chapter 1: Visitor from a Different World
Today of all days, Izuku Midoryia was feeling a plethora of different emotions all at once; excitement, joy, stress, fear, anxiety. Now you may be wondering why he is feeling this way? Well, today is the day that he and the rest of his class are able to use their quirks in an all-out mock villain versus mock hero exercise, so he was excited. He also got paired up with a very pretty girl called Ochako Uraraka, so he was happy. It was also the first time he would be using his quirk, which he knew from the get-go was extremely unstable and possibly damaging or fatal to his body, so he was stressed. He and Uraraka paired up against two people with extremely powerful and versatile quirks that each had much skill in using, so he was anxious. However, one of those opponents just so happened to be his ex-childhood friend and bully, Bakugou Katsuki. And judging by the look on his face, he was out for blood, so yeah, he was shitting his pants!
Izuku tried to cool his nerves as he and Uraraka crept around the building where the fake weapon was being guarded. He even attempted to make a plan with Uraraka to secure victory. Ultimately it came down to Izuku distracting Bakugou, knowing he would come after him, while Uraraka snuck around and tried to secure the weapon from Iida. And things happened just as planned; Bakugou charged in head first through the whole building while hunting for Izuku like a savage. Izuku faced Katsuki head-on while Uraraka made her way up the building.
The two teens were in a stand-off with Izuku visibly injured from several of Katskui's explosions. They were about to attack one another when something strange stopped them in their tracks. An unusual portal appeared out from the ceiling, and its presence alone was enough to stop the superpowered teens from their scuffle.
The portal generated a strange aura while emitting an otherworldly sound. It was a luminescent gray with a white spider web-like design that appeared to never-ending suck itself in. After staring at the strange portal for a solid minute, it began to fluctuate, and screams could be heard coming from within it.
Several seconds passed as the screaming only got louder, and a shape could be seen forming closer to the opening of the portal. Another moment passed, and a screaming object hurled through the portal and crashed among the rubble around the building! Stones flung all over the place, and a huge dust cloud exploded far enough to make the two teens cover their eyes. Meanwhile, the portal behind them immediately closed after spitting out its passenger.
After a few moments, the dust to see what had burst through into their mock exams. A small groan is heard from the dust and rubble.
"Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Ohhhhhhh! My head.", came a voice clearly in pain.
Another second later and a silhouette broke the dust cloud and unearthed stones around itself. After a few minutes of watching the silhouette stubble and pick itself up from the ground, it finally came into the open to reveal a person, a regular human person.
"What hit me?" the person asked while holding their head. The person rubbed their head and back while saying, "That's the last time I let Hau convince me to have a Malasad eating contest with Nebby."
Once the person walked closer to the stunned teens, they could now make their description. It was a tall, slender, yet medium-built guy with tan skin. He looked a bit older than Izuku and Katskui, with medium length yet thick purple hair on top, black hair coming at his back and sides, yellow eyes, and a weird fashion sense. He wore a white and purple headband with black trim and an odd symbol that looked like two half-circle lines covering a circle. The headband also separated his purple and black hair, making it look like a weird hat. He wore a white muscle shirt and an opened purple hoodie with odd red eye marks on the hood. Black and purple shorts with white and purple shoes. Around his waist was a belt made of a conglomerate of different-sized bags, some of which had evil little faces with the mouth being the zipper.
After shaking himself off from the dust and getting back his calibrations, the older teen finally noticed the other younger teens standing in front of him in stunned silence. He looked around at his surroundings and back at the teens a few times to ensure he didn't imagine this.
After a minute, he side-mouthed to the air and said, "I don't think we're in Alola anymore, Nebby.", after a moment of no response, the teen looked to his side and said, "Nebby?"
That's when a look of panic exploded across his face, and he began to shout into the open, "Nebby?! Nebby! Where are you!?"
As the teen shouted around for this 'Nebby' person, the other two teens finally came out of their shock and started to put together what happened, so did their personalities.
Bakugou was the first to snap out of his trance and shouted, "Hey! Purple fucker!"
The teen turned to Bakugou, looked around, and pointed to himself with a confused face. "Yes, you, I'm talking to you! Who the hell else is wearing purple! Don't look down on me!"
Izuku did want to point out that the size difference between the two was exceedingly significant. In fact, the older teen towered over Bakugou by at least five inches but decided to keep quiet, knowing full well what he'd do.
The guy put his hands up defensively and exclaimed, "Whoah whoah whoah whoah! Let's just calm down for a second there!", he took a deep breath and stated, "Okay, look, I don't know who you guys are or where I even am right now, but I can speak for both parties when I say that we are all clearly freaked out over what just happened. So why don't we just take a deep breath, calm down, and try to figure this out without going crazy."
"I second that thought.", Izuku finally became vocal. "Kacchan, we don't know what's going on right now or who this guy is, but let's be reasonable, end the fight here and try to figure this out. He's at least trying to be civ-."
"Are you saying I'm not civilized!", Bakugu snapped at Izuku while letting out small explosions.
Izuku freaked out while backing away and exclaimed nervously, "N-No! You just always rush into things and don't-!"
"Shut the hell up, shitty nerd!" he snapped at Izuku again!
Meanwhile, the older teen was back far away from the two teens, nearly in a corner, in a weird defensive and shocked animated stance, with an expression like he just said some form of high sacrilege! The other two teens noticed this and turned their attention to him. He stood there for a good minute before finally speaking in a fearful tone.
"You-You have moves, l-like a Pokemon. That's impossible, your human! Unless…", he trailed off with a horrified expression. "Did Team Plasma, Team Rocket, and the Aether Foundation join forces to make a human pokemon hybrid?! What is this world coming to?! Does their insanity know no bounds?!" He began to rant!
Izuku was more than confused at this point about whatever he was talking about. Who were Team Rock, Plasma, and the Aether Foundation? What's a Pokemon? Who's Nebby? What 'moves' is he talking about? Bakugou, however, was not at all confused or asking any similar questions. Instead, he was even more pissed off after getting more crazy info and being ignored! A vein bulges in his head as his anger rises to new levels! First, his fight with Deku was interrupted by this purple dude who comes out of a magic wormhole. He's thrown entirely off his mojo, and now purple fucker and stupid Deku are trying to stop the fight, his fight and purple fucker was only spewing out more noise while calling him a Poke-whatever!
'Screw this! I wanted to blast shit up, so I'm gonna do it!', Bakugou thought to himself while using his explosions to rocket towards him. "Fuck this! I'll blast you to hell first and ask questions later!" he yelled with a vicious look in his eyes!
"Kacchan stop!", Izuku cried as he tried to halt Bakugou!
"AH! MERCY!" the teen cried while covering his body in defense!
Bakugou was only a few feet away from the older teen and ready to blow him up with a powerful blast! His smile curved into a wicked grin, his body flared with excitement, and his arms trembled with the rush of power rising to his fingertips! Just before he could ignite his quirk to the older teen's face, a small round object bounced from his belt and in front of the attack. Bakugou flinched for a moment at seeing the circular object until it exploded in a flash of bright blue light! Bakugou winched at the blinding burning sensation in his eyes and then felt something collide with his body with such great force that it flung him clear across the room and crashed into the far opposite wall!
Izuku also winched from the bright light, heard, and saw Bakugou's body fly across the room and slams into a wall! When his eyes readjusted, he saw the most amazingly terrifying thing he'd ever seen!
The older teen waited for his face to get caved-in by Bakugou, but when nothing happened but the sound of something slamming into a wall with great force, he dared to look out from his arm shield. He saw that the flying teen was gone, and a set of red scales wrapped around his body. He heard a triumphant roar and followed the sound up to a creature that he smiled with relief and joy. "Gyarados!", He squealed with joy at the massive creature.
'Gyarados? Is that what he called this thing!', Izuku squeaked with fear in his head!
The creature standing in front of them and at the defense of the older teen was nothing he'd seen before! Well, he had once, back when he was younger, his mother would tell him scary stories about powerful serpentine-like dragons with untold power! And this thing matched their descriptions perfectly!
It was like something that came straight out of science fiction! It is a huge serpentine-like monster with armored red scales and a yellow underbelly, angry red eyes, a huge mouth filled with fangs, two long whiskers, and ear fins with a three-pointed crest on its head. It also had three pointed fins on its back, two near where its head met its neck, and the last near the end of its long body with a tail fin like a fish.
Izuku couldn't tell if its crest made it look mad or it was just always looking mad, but this Gyarados thing sure did not look pleased! And seeing it made Izuku keep his eyes trained on it, frozen in place as he swallowed dryly!
The older teen was not scared of the giant dragonfish. Instead, he looked overjoyed. "Boy, am I glad to see you, buddy!", He exclaimed excitedly to the animal. Gyarados leaned down, letting out a low yet friendly-sounding grumble, and brought its face close to the older teen who petted it under its chin. "You save me in the nick of time, again.", The older teen stated, embarrassed.
Gyarados made a sound in its throat that could've been equal to laughter as if teasing him.
At this time, Bakugou pulled himself from the wall and fell to the floor with a grunt! He picked himself up on shaky legs and heavy breath and stared down the older teen, only to be thrown off guard by the giant red Sea serpent cooler around him.
"The fuck is that!?", He shouted loud enough for everyone to hear!
All heads turned to Bakugou as Gyarados turned back to the teen and defensively coiled around the older teen as it let out a mighty and bone-chilling roar in warning! Bakugou let out a small growl and stared down at the giant animal, only making it even angrier!
Izuku knew there was no seeking reason with Bakugou at this point; he knew he'd try to attack despite the danger involved. So he opted to hide behind a pillar and wait things out or intervene if things got too out of hand.
The older teen, looking much more confident, stated to Bakugou, "Listen here, you hybrid or whatever you are! I don't know who, or what, you are, but you had better stop attacking if you know what's good for you. You can't win!"
Bakugou snarled at this declaration and set off more explosions in his hands! "Shut the hell up! Don't you fucking tell me what to do, you purple fuck! I'll kill that shitty fish and then you!", Bakugou shouted at him!
Gyarados roared again as the older teen replied calmly, "Then you leave me no choice.", He took out a small round device from his belt and pointed it at Bakugou.
It was spherical and colored half red and half white, and it had a black line going around it, separating the colors with a white button in the center.
"I'll just have to battle and then catch you to quell that vicious temper of yours.", He stated boldly.
"Don't you make fun of me!", Bakugou roared as he shot towards the teen!
The older teen struck a confident pose with his hand shot out in the front and exclaimed to his beast, "You ready, Gyarados!"
Gyarados roared in acknowledgment!
"Great, then let's size him up with a Dragon Pulse!", He shouted!
Gyarados then closed its mouth, and when it opened back up, it shot out a multicolored beam that took a dragon-like shape that soared towards Bakugou! Bakugou used his explosions to curve around the beam and continued closing the distance between them!
"You're fast, but I have the type advantage! Gyarados, use Hydro Pump!", He commanded the fish Dragon!
Gyarados then shot out a powerful stream of water from its mouth like a cannon! The blast was much wider and faster than Dragon Pulse, and Bakugou had to halt his attack and dodge the blast by blasting himself in the opposite direction!
"Let's see how you fare with a rapid-fire attack. Gyarados keeps using Hydro Pump!", He shouted towards the animal.
Gyarados obeyed and continued shooting multitudes of Hydro Pumps at Bakugou! Bakugou could just barely keep out of range and outpace each attack, each of which packed tremendous speed and power behind them! So much so that the ground broke apart, cut pillars in half, and gaping holes made all over, reducing concrete to mud and stones.
Izuku was stunned by this site! Not only was this thing unnatural, but it also had multiple quirks; First an energy attack and now a water attack! What was this thing? He was also having a hard time keeping out of the firing line or just finding decent cover. Every time he would hide, a blast of water or some other attack would destroy his defense, and he would have to flee for his life to not get ripped apart!
Eventually, Gyarados got tired from spitting up water and had to take a breather. Bakugou saw his chance and rocketed towards the monster in mere seconds. He then let out a few powerful explosions right into the fish's face! Gyarados roared in pain from the attack and inches back from the blast!
"Gyarados, are you okay!?", The older teen called the fish. Gyarados shook itself off and roared again. The older teen smiled and said, "Good to hear!"
When Bakugou set off his last explosions on Gyarados' face, he used the momentum to push himself into the air. He then propelled himself down with another, ready to pepper the giant fish again.
"Here he comes!" the older teen called attention to Bakugou. "Use Thunder!"
Gyarados' head crest began to produce electricity and shot a bolt into the air. It curved back down and right into Bakugou's flight path! Bakugou got lucky and managed to use another explosion to propel himself back! The attack missed and made the ground underneath explode!
"Hyper Beam!", Cried the older teen as Gyarados shot out a yellowish-white beam of energy from its mouth!
This time the attack hit Bakugou and sent him flying back! After the beam dissipated, he skidded across the floor and quickly brought himself back to his feet with a feral snarl! Gyarados hissed back and kept its defensive stance around its master.
"Geez, this thing is tough! How much HP does it have?" the older teen asked himself.
Bakugou then raised one of his gauntlets and pointed it at the teen and his pet.
"What's it doing?", The teen asked himself.
Bakugou snickered and stated, "This time, I'll blow both of you to hell."
"Uh-oh.", The teen pales in fear.
"Now Die!", Bakugou yells as he pulls the pin and shoots off a deadly explosion!
The older teens screamed in fear seeing as there was nowhere to escape from the blast! But Gyarados had another idea and quickly wrapped its long body around its master to shield him from the attack! The explosion quickly engulfed Gyarados's body in a plum of fire and debris within a blink! The dust cleared, and Gyarados's charred red body emerged from the smoke. The giant fish unraveled from around its master and flopped on the ground with a defeated groan. The older teen opened his eyes and saw that he was completely fine, along with the downed Gyarados.
He freaked out, running to the fish's head and holding it. He begged, "No, no, no! Come on, buddy, you have to get up! Please! That pokemon is still on the loose and-WHA!"
Bakugou emerged from the smoke and collapsing building with a snide smile on his face as he stared down the older teen with one visible yes and caused him to scream with terror. This sight made Bakugou lick his lips in anticipation as he slowly walked up to the teen and his downed animal.
"Arceus Arceus Arceus Arceus Arceus Arceus!" the teen cursed as he began to shuffle wildly through his belt pouches!
Bakugou then went into a full sprint, ready to blast and teen, and the teen began to panic while failing to back away due to Gyarados's body trapping him in! He looked back at the fallen form of his pet, then back to Bakugou, who was still charging him with only a few feet to close the gap! He jumped in front of the fish face with arms wide open to shield the fish from the explosion, closed his eyes, and braced himself!
"DIE!", Bakugou shouted as he jumped into the air with a large explosion!
However, instead of being hit with an explosion straight to the face, Bakugou was the one hit with a finned tail straight to the side of his body that sent him flying into the nearest wall! The teen opened his eyes and saw Bakugou jammed into the wall with a glare on his face, Gyarados's tail laying out in front of him, and Gyarados starting to pick himself back up. Gyarados lifted its body and let out a triumphant war cry!
The older teens' eyes glittered with hope and joy at seeing the giant fish while exclaiming, "Gyarados, you're okay! I knew you could tough it out! You're not one of my best for nothing."
Gyarados lowers its head to its master, allowing the older team to pet the fish under its chin and behind its finned ears with a growling purr. Meanwhile, Bakugou had pulled himself away from the wall and looked even more pissed off than before. He lost off a few explosions and an angry scream showing that he hadn't given up yet. The older teen and Gyarados look back towards the angry fuming younger teen and tense up, seeing as he was still not down.
"Even after all that, it's still kicking? What level is this thing anyway?", The older teen complained.
The two people and giant animals stare down at each other for several tenths seconds as the older teen whispers to his pet, "Gyarados, I have an idea, but I need you to trust me."
Gyarados seemed to understand its master and appeared to nod its head.
The teen smiled and pointed his arm at Bakugou; he commanded, "Then get ready to battle!" Gyarados roared with gusto.
Bakugou charged at the teen and his pet as the older teen commanded the fish to tank the attack. Gyarados obeyed and stood perfectly still, allowing Bakugou to charge forward and land a few powerful attacks on the fish's face! Thick black smoke covered the giant animal's face as a painful screech can be heard from inside the cloud. Bakugou smiled at hearing the roar, knowing he had done a significant amount of damage to the creature.
The older teen grinned, seeing Bakugou's ego flare-up, just like he planned. He took advantage and shot his arm out towards him and commanded, "Now Gyarados use Hydro Pump one last time!"
Suddenly a large stream of water bursts out from the clouds and nails Bakugou head-on! Bakugou was thrown back a good several feet before he was able to push himself out of the torrent power and landed on his feet soaking wet. Bakugou growled at this, and putting up his other gauntlet; he aimed to fire it one last time at the creature. But the older team expected this and waited until Bakugou pulled the pin.
"Quickly, Gyarados, get rid of that explosion with Hyper Beam!", The older teen commanded the dragonfish.
Gyarados then let out the pale yellowish energy beam and shot it into the center of the explosion! The two forces collide with such great force that they canceled each other out in a blast of smoke! Bakugou covered his eyes and tried to gain better footing from the force of the explosions exerting from both sides. But he was quickly outmaneuvered when Gyarados burst through the smoke with an angry expression and pounced on Bakugou!
Gyarados quickly wrapped its body around Bakugou like a snake and held him in a restraining squeeze. Bakugou tried to break free but to no avail as he simply flopped his head around like a fish out of water. So instead, he changed to swearing and threats.
"Let me the hell go, you ugly seafood platter! I'll turn you into sashimi and blast that purple fucker into next week!", He cursed them both!
The older teen smiled and said, "Then let's finish this. Gyarados, finish it off with Thunder!"
Gyarados's head crest generated electricity and shot a bolt in the air, which rolled down where Bakugou was held in its coils. Bakugou looked up with a stunned expression and marveled at the lighting in fear! The attack shot down and landed directly on Bakugou, whose screams were drowned out by the intense power!
After the attack, Gyarados lets go of Bakugou, letting his body slump into the ground, and moved away as the older teen threw the round half colored device at Bakugou. The device flew through the air and bounced right off Bakugou's head. It then popped open, and a red beam enveloped the younger teen's body. It seemed to be similar to electricity since it began to shock and cause Bakugou to convulse even further. The device fell to the ground and broke into pieces.
The older teen looked at this in confusion and said, "What? It-it didn't work?! But he's a Pokemon, he should've gone into the Pokeball! Unless... he's part human, he can't be caught!". He then looked out into the distance like his brain was buffering until he snapped back, exclaiming while throwing his arms in front, "Then how the hell was Aether, Rocket, and Plasma going to control that thing if they couldn't catch it!?"
Then the older teen's eyes caught someone hiding behind one of the few remaining pillars was a set of fearful green eyes. The teen turned towards the eyes as Gyarados stood ready, half more relaxed around its master. But the older teen put a hand up, signaling the fish to stand down, and it did. Seeing that he wasn't going to attack, Izuku poked his head out a little more.
The older teen took up an awkward and coy demeanor while looking to the ground in a sweat drop. Seeing this, Izuku decided to come out from his hiding spot but still kept his eyes on the giant red dragonfish.
The older teen rubbed his head while laughing nervously and apologized, "Hehehe. Sorry you had to see me get like that. I get pretty intense when I battle, especially with new or hard ones. Hope I didn't scare you...too much."
Izuku also gave a nervous laugh and replied, "Hehehe. Yeah."
"I guess we should...talk now? To...clear the air on things?", The older teen asked.
"Y-Yeah, talk! That's what I wanted to do, um uh….", Izuku trailed off, not knowing the teens' name.
The older teen blushed in embarrassment and quickly introduced himself, "Garfield! But everyone always calls me Gar, or Gar-Gar, or Gengar. You can call me whatever."
"Izuku Midoriya. Nice meeting you.", Izuku introduced himself back with a slight bow.
An awkward silence filled the area as the two teens couldn't think of how to carry on their conversation from here. "So uhhhhhhh….nice…giant, fish, dragon, thing.", Izuku tried to break the ice.
The older teen pepped up a bit and replied, "Oh, um, thanks! He's a Gyarados, and one of my oldest companions. He's helped me through a lot of battles; I owe much of my success to him.", He said while petting Gyarados's scales. The teen then turned to Bakugou's still body and motioned to him he asked, "Sooooooooo, what's up with this Pokemon? Where'd he come from?"
Izuku looked at him weirdly as he replied, "Kacchan isn't a Pokemon. And what's a Pokemon?"
The older teen looked back at him weirdly and stated, "You're kidding, right? You have to be kidding. This-!" he exclaimed while waving at Bakugou. "Can't be anything but a Pokemon! H-He was flying around a-and shooting f-fire from hi-his hands. And he took a direct blast from Hyper Beam! And I've been hit by Hyper Beam, and let me tell ya, it's not fun! Also, how could you ask 'what's a pokemon' when there's one, literally, right next to me!?"
Izuku blinked at the teen and replied, "That's Kacchan's quirk. He can produce explosions from his hands, and also, he's definitely human."
"What's a quirk?" Gar asked back.
"I think we should start explaining some things to one another.", Izuku offered.
"Yeah, I think so too.", Gar agreed with a sigh.
A Few Hours Later, in a Meeting Hall.
Gar now sat around a table, surrounded by several heroes. All of which were asking and answering each other's questions about what in the world is going on?! The Mock exercise was canceled, and all students were sent back to their homeroom until things sorted out, apart from Bakugou, who was sent to Recovery Girl for his extreme injuries. After some time of debate and questions, the group finally settled down and tried to compile everything they learned about each other in the simplest form.
"So let me try and see if I understand this clearly; there are no Pokemon in this world, and all Pokemon are called animals, and they don't have any moves, but instead the humans are the pokemon and have moves you call 'quirks' and work as superheroes like in comic books? That is crazy!" Gar exclaimed while sitting back in his seat with a flop.
"Yes, and let me see if I understand this clearly; in your world, your animals are called Pokemon. These Pokemon have quirks, and all of them have multiple or interchangeable quirks, but people don't, and you use pokemon for fighting while keeping them in these Pokeball things? That's even crazier." Aizawa explained back nonchalantly.
Gar immediately sat up straight and exclaimed, "You're telling me! I've been to some strange alternate dimensions before, but this place beats 'em all!"
"So you've done this sort of thing before?", Midnight asked.
Gar nodded and replied, "Oh yeah, loads of times. But like I said, I've never seen a place like this! Something...must've happened during the trip." he theories while tapping his chin.
"How exactly did you get here? You say you're quirkless, yet you're able to travel between dimensions?", Present Mic asked.
"Well, technically, I'm not the one who does the traveling; Nebby does.", Gar confirmed.
"Who's Nebby?", All Might inquired.
"He's a legendary Ultra Beast that can evolve. He was kept hostage by a crazed woman who was obsessed with gaining knowledge of other Ultra Beasts. I went to another Dimension with the Crazed woman's daughter, after Nebby evolved, and fought her as she merged with another Ultra Beats and beat her in a battle in the Ultra Beasts home Dimension.", Gar explained to the heroes.
All the heroes sitting around the table stare and blink multiple times at the young man with confused expressions, trying to make sense of what he just said as if he had just grown a third head.
Realizing his explanation, he blushed, embarrassed, and rubbed his head; he said, "I uh, realize now that there is a lot to unpack in that. But for the sake of simplicity, let's just say he's a really powerful pokemon that travels between dimensions."
"Wow.", Present Mic whistles.
"Wow indeed.", Gar confirmed.
"So did you come here on purpose when you and 'Nebby' were traveling?", Midnight asked.
Gar took a sharp breath and, putting up both hands under his chin, he explained, "Well actually...that's a story all on its own. You see, I was in Galar. After I had held my title as Champion for the umpteenth time, I set out to do other things; fill the Pokedex, complete my curry dex, catch every pokemon in Galar, EV, and IV breeding, and get all forms and flavors of Alcremie. But then I got bored again and decided to go traveling to visit some old friends. First, I traveled to Alola and met my old friend Hau where-." Gar was then cut off by Aizawa, who butted in, saying, "Could you just skip to the part where you got to our world."
Gar sweat dropped in embarrassment, "Oh right, sorry. Anyway, Hau said that he could out-eat any man or pokemon in a Malasada eating contest, and he was right. So he decided to test his skills against something that wasn't a man or Pokemon and wanted to compete against Nebby. Who is, but actually isn't a Pokemon. It's kind of weird, anyway; I don't know how he convinced me, but I agreed, and then the two started to eat while I was sitting on Nebby's back to keep him calm in case things went south. And well, things did go south, and real quick too. I shouldn't have let Nebby eat bitter Malasada cause then he started to go wild from the taste! He started to randomly open Ultra Wormhole Portals all over the place and jumped into one, going at speeds I've never seen him go before! He booted me off, and I got sucked outside the Ultra Stream and into a weird Worm Hole I've never seen before. And now I'm here.", he explained casually.
All the heroes were silent as they digested this information and tried to make some sense of it. As most of it was a lot of things, they never heard of before! That and the fact it sounded so absurd.
Suddenly the door opened, and a new voice chimed into the silence, saying, "Well, that does sound like quite the adventure and conundrum you got yourself into, young man."
All heads swiveled to the door and saw the hyper-intelligent animal thing, Principle Nezu standing in the doorway, finally coming to the meeting after having to take care of some other urgent business.
Nezu straightened his tie and introduced himself, saying, "Hello there, I am-."
Before he could continue, Gar shot up from his seat and whipped out a Pokeball and screamed while pointing to Nezu, "A POKEMON!"
Gar threw the device at the small animal, and the same thing that happened with Bakugou happened with Nezu. The device opened, and a red beam enveloped him, which caused an electric shock to run over his body and convulse from it! When it failed to catch the principle, the device fell to the ground and broke into pieces.
Gar stared blankly at this before realizing what happened and theorized, "Oh...I guess you're not a pokemon, huh?"
Nezu stood up while brushing himself off, and in the nicest, most patient tone he could manage, he confirmed, "No, I'm not."
Gar rubbed the back of his head, embarrassed, and apologized, saying, "Sorry about that. I'm a trainer, so when I see a new pokemon, I kinda freak out and try to catch it. But I mean, you do look like a weird shiny Ratata...in a tux."
After fixing his tie again, Nezu then replied, "Well, not all of us are okay with being beaten to near exhaustion, forcefully placed in a small prison, and then forced to fight other creatures to the death for the entertainment of others. And let's not forget the Stockholm Syndrome."
Everyone in the room made a shocked expression as the Principle roasted the young man until the young man walked up to Nezu with a ticked-off expression and pinched his nose hard.
"Ouchy.", Nezu complained.
Gar then took a deep breath to calm himself and ranted off on the animal, saying, "Okay, I'm not even sure where I should begin with you. First, you have to weaken a pokemon to catch it; it's the only way. I tried to catch a Pidgey without weakening it first, and I still regret it. Second, a Pokeball is not a prison; it's a holding device. The Pokémon's matter is converted into energy; they're more like in a comfortable sleep-like state. Third, Pokemon Battles are an international sport that has strict rules, guidelines, and regulations. Fourth, Pokemon don't fight to the death, and they only fight until they pass out. And speaking of which, that's quite Hypocritical coming from someone who delights in setting up events where young children fight in a ring with deadly abilities, pinning them against one another, fighting them yourselves, and sending them off to fight other stronger adults. And fifth, there is no Stockholm syndrome! That's just a myth! When a Pokemon is caught, they immediately become tame enough to receive commands, and they still have free will to do what they want, when they want. And I can't tell you how many times I literally asked a Pokemon to just join me on my journey!"
Everyone in the room was now making shocked expressions at the sweating principal who just got roasted back with cold hard facts for an adolescent.
Nezu cleared his throat and replied calmly, "I, um, see your point."
A cold and awkward silence filled the room at this point until Aizawa, who was the only one to care less about the current atmosphere, struck back up the conversation, asking Gar, "So, time to ask the big question. Are you able to get back to your home dimension?"
Gar slumped back into his seat, and with a solemn headshake and anxious expression, he replied, "I'm afraid not; only Nebby or Lunala can travel in between dimensions." He then took off six different-looking Pokeballs from around his belt and placed them on the table, saying, "And the Pokemon I have with me can't do any of that. So I guess I'm stuck."
This time Midnight broke the atmosphere, placing a reassuring hand on Gar's shoulder and asking, "Is there really no way for you to contact your friends or Nebby to come pick you up?"
Gar looked off to the side and replied, "There is one way, but it's not working.", he then slumped down even further into his seat, and giving off an exhausted sigh, he continued, "I could pull Nebby or Lunala from my PC, but my Pokebox is not working."
Gar then pulled out a large unusual-looking device from one of his pouches. It looked like a thick frisbee made of glass with a handle on top and a small metallic screen on the front with several buttons. He pressed one of the buttons and the whole thing extended upward until it was at least 2 feet tall. It had glass all around and three separate grey dividers with small indents around each one where a Pokeball is placed. It had an invisible sliding door mechanism that opened automatically.
Gar sighed and said, "Deep ocean floors, dark caves, thick jungles, endless deserts, or the highest mountain peaks; this thing will work without fail. But I guess Alternate dimensions are its limit."
Another round of silence was set into the melancholy atmosphere until Present Mic asked out of the blue, "Wait, so you keep your Pocket Monsters in a PC?"
"Yes," Gar answered.
"Like a computer?" he asked again.
"Yes.", Gar replied while sweat dropping a bit.
"A PC computer?" he asked further.
"Yes.", Gar stated firmly with an aggravated sigh, having to say the same thing over and over.
"That doesn't make any sense?" he exclaimed in confusion.
Gar rolled his eyes and explained, "The Pokeballs convert matter into energy. Who's to say that matter can't also be converted to data? And besides, there are like a thousand different Pokemon! You really think I'm gonna carry around like a thousand different Pokeballs all the time.", no one said anything but opted to just stare at the young man. Seeing this, Gar sighed and continued on. "The limit that anyone can carry is about 6; otherwise, they're sent to their personal PC. And the six that I currently have." Gar motioned to the six different Pokeballs on the table. "Can't perform interdimensional travel. So I'm pretty much stuck, like a Shelder on a Slowpoke tail."
Gar slumped into his seat again until Nezu spoke up, causing the young man to straighten out at his voice. "Well, seeing as all things have come to light, it would be in everyone's best interest if you were to stay here at UA until you're able to travel back to your world.", he told the teen.
"What!?" everyone in the room asked the Principle with mixed confusion and surprise.
"Well, it would be quite heartless of us to throw you out into a world you simply have no knowledge of, and it would go against everything we at UA stand for.", Nezu explained further.
"So you're gonna let me stay so you can keep an eye on me to make sure I don't decide to use my murderous magic beasts to slay all of you and conquer your world?" Gar asked while making funny hand gestures and faces.
"In a manner of speaking, yes.", Nezu replied nonchalantly.
"Fair enough." Gar shrugged his shoulders in agreement.
After that was settled, Gar deviated from the topic and stated, "Speaking of which, sorry about nearly obliterating one of your students. The one with the bad temper and fire hands."
Nezu waved his apology off and replied, "It's quite alright; mistakes happen. And you were simply defending yourself when young Katskui attacked you unprovoked. After he heals up, we'll be sure to have a strict talk about unprofessional hero behavior."
The other teachers also nodded, knowing that Bakugou would be handled accordingly.
Gar then deviated from the topic again and asked, "Speaking of healing. What have you guys got in the line of a Pokecenter?"
"Uh, Pokécenter?", All Might asked.
Gar sighed and replied in a sweat drop, "I think we still have some things to discuss."
Hey everyone I'm sure you've all noticed the change that has happened to this first chapter, and that is because I've gotten a beta...sorta.

And now I have two chapters that have been beat read and corrected. So Id like to thank FreelancerAmber for her hard work and continued help on this story. Check her out and give her some love.
