** I do not own Sailor Moon or Pokemon. The next few chapters will be done in short bursts where each two characters gets a section of their own. Until they join together that is. So the pairings will go as follows: Ami and Michiru, Minako and Haruka, Makoto and Setsuna, and the pairings you'll read from this chapter. Enjoy (^^) **
Rei groaned. Last thing she knew, there had been an explosion, and now she belly-down, half her face covered in grime. Slowly, she struggled to stand up, but a jarring pain along her spine stopped her immediately. But she fiercely pushed the pain away, unwilling to give up.
"You'll never get up that way."
A voice attracted her attention, and Rei turned her neck slightly to see a girl about thirteen to fourteen years in age, which looked somewhat like Rei herself, save the hair, which was cut along the shoulders, extremely pale skin, and large purple eyes.
"Look, I don't need you're opinions, little girl." Rei spat back, wiping the grime from her mouth with her free hand.
The 'little girl' simply cocked her head to one side, regarding Rei curiously. "You need a hand?"
And Rei thought for a moment, and after deciding that this girl couldn't be much of a threat, she finally obliged. Although Rei couldn't actually see it, with her head turned away, she could her the girl summon a pokeball, and this was followed shortly by an easing of pain on her injured spine, which soon melded away until it felt as perfect as ever.
Slowly, Rei got up, wiping the dirt from her shirt and then tossing her hair to get the remaining specks out.
"Thanks..." She began, turning towards her benefactor, when she realized just what pokemon stood beside the girl.
Rei swore under her breath, and jumped a distance away, angry at being fooled so easily.
"You think you're so smart, huh?" She breathed angrily, black-violet eyes sparkling with fire. "I know all about your purposes, and I'll never join the likes of you!"
And with that, Rei summoned her pokeball, deliberately picking this one. Out flew a pokemon similar in build to the one the girl had chosen, only Rei's was covered in a gorgeous creamy mane, with reddish-orange fur.
And the Flareon, seeing the burning intensity of its mistress's eyes, immediately shifted to battle position.
The younger girl put her hand on her Umbreon, restraining it. "I think you've got it all wrong." She said, her eyes clouded.
Rei simply snarled, "Liar!"
Usagi was in a beautiful sleep, one devoid of dreams or any emotions. Indeed, it seemed more like death than any sleep she had experienced. But in her state, she couldn't have cared.
Suddenly, voices interrupted her peaceful rest, and her eyebrows twitched slightly as her ears and other senses began adjusting to her environment. She was cold - so very cold. And it seemed as if something was pressing against her, choking her while letting her breathe at the same time. It was a slowly agonizing sensation, and made Usagi want to scream in frustration, but when she opened her mouth, only a foul-smelling gas seeped in. She choked, and her eyes snapped open.
"Doctor, she's awake." A womanly voice seemed to exclaim somewhere in the background.
As Usagi's vision slowly shifted from blurry to normal, she began to take in her surroundings. Where was she? It seemed like a strange laboratory of some sort, a lot like the ones they use to research on pokemon. Around her was a strange glass paneling, that seemed to encircle in a cylinder-like shaped. Usagi was confused. Did she need protection from the laboratory and the people, to be so safely encased? Slowly, she turned her head to look at herself, and she screamed, out of pure shock.
The containment tube had been specially created to hold certain species of pokemon, from fighting type all the way to psychic and steel. However, it had NOT been built to contain this type of power.
Usagi continued to scream silently, and the power chained within her, unable to be fully released, simply grew and expanded like a hot-air balloon. The glass paneling began to slowly shatter, as strange spider-web patterns snaked dangerously around the glass.
"Back off!" Commanded the doctor in charge, telling everyone else to move out of the way.
In some detached corner of her mind, Usagi recognized the white lab coat, with a red "R" emblazoned on the back of it. In fact, everyone in this... laboratory seemed to be wearing one. But what were they studying?
And as her mind began to piece together all the parts of the puzzle, Usagi's fear and frustration reached an unbearable limit, and she simply let all the piled up tension go, unable to contain herself any longer.
With only that warning, the glass surrounding her exploded into a million fragments, shattering and flying across the entire radius of the laboratory. The energy-sensing wires and other containment tubes attached to the blonde-haired girl simply severed and exploded in a gigantic combustion.
One of the scientists widened his mouth as the image of the glass flying and everything burning brought back a painful flashback. The same thing had happened last time, only it had been a pokemon, not a human. And that pokemon had brought a horrifying message to its creators and captors, wrecking apart the isolated lab with untold destruction. And still it lived somewhere in this world, a potential danger and a created threat.
Usagi stepped out on bare feet into the floor of the lab, unaware of the pain of the glass as it cut he soft skin. An anger was burning within her again, and it demanded to be released. So she did, for her normal cheerful disposition had been vexed to the point of no return with that these scientists had done. She was a human, for God's sake - even pokemon did not deserve that type of treating. And yes, she was very, very angry.
The people in the lab recoiled in fear as the seemingly angelic girl standing before them brought her hands into the air, as if reaching for something. A brilliant golden glow began to burn, becoming so intense that it was impossible to look at without turning away. And the glow expanded until it was no longer just a colour, but a discernible shape, one of a large golden phoenix. The young girl stepped back, and the strange pokemon - if it could even be called one - did the same, as if the phoenix was no more than a shadow of the girl's.
And the scientist, who had recognized and remembered the incident of Mewtwo, looked at the golden-haired girl, and from his mouth uttered what sounded like a series of nonsense-words, but had Setsuna, Michiru, or Haruka heard it, they would have frowned.
"So, the Spirit Pokemon has arrived." And he fainted as he realized the implications of this.
Usagi looked at the scene of carnage around her, her eyes blank as in reality, she was viewing through the eyes of the Ho-oh, her mind bonded to her pokemon's thoughts.
:No. I am not just a pokemon.: The Ho-oh's voice sounded amused.
Asked Usagi, confused.
:I am part of you. You are part of me. We exist together. That is how the bonding works:
Usagi thought for a moment.
:Of course. I see through your eyes every day, even when you do not Call me in this physical form.:
Suddenly, there were a series of panicked yells, and a helicopter with a large "R" on its side heading towards Usagi and her Spirit pokemon. As one, they both turned their heads to look at the approaching sight, realizing danger. And with a swift motion, as if planned by both, Usagi leapt into the air and landed gracefully at the exact desired spot on the Ho-oh's neck, which had solidified enough to resemble the likeliness of any pokemon. Both girl and her Bonded flew into the air, where Usagi desired and the Ho-oh agreed. Simply because they were one.
Usagi closed her eyes and borrowed the golden energy of her Ho-oh, using some of it to retrieve her pokeballs which were still on the ground. Ho-oh make a sound resembling that of a derisive snort as it felt the concern Usagi radiated for her pokemon.
:Your little ones are fine. They just need to rest a bit longer.: The Ho-oh turned so that it was partially looking at Usagi. :They love you dearly:
Usagi nodded. I know. I would do anything for them. She paused.
There was a mental chuckle. :You have no choice. If I cease to exist, than so do you.:
Usagi picked up the immediate seriousness of that tone.
It snorted again. :You don't protect yourself very well, you know.:
Usagi shrugged
:As long as you know.: Was the Ho-oh's only answer, but Usagi, sensing its mind, knew that her Bonded had no choice but to also trust her friends. And she smiled, stroking the soft spot on her Spirit pokemon's neck, and feeling its pleasure at her every stroke. They continued to fly, both unsure of where exactly they were doing, but sure enough that they would finally find it.
Michiru froze in her spot, her stance dead-still. Ami, caught off guard, almost lost her balance as she swerved to avoid hitting into the older girl. The short-haired girl glared at Michiru, but Michiru didn't seemed to notice. The older girl looked... like she was meditating, as if she could sense something from far away.
"Your friend has done something foolish." Michiru said, her voice edged with concern.
"Who?" Ami asked, still confused.
"I believe her name is Usagi." Michiru took out a strange mirror from what seemed to be nowhere, and gazed into its reflection, as if dazzled by her own.
Ami blinked. Where one earth had the mirror popped out from, and why did Michiru suddenly find her reflection so interesting? "What did Usagi do?"
Michiru momentarily looked up from the reflection of the mirror, deeply pondering, as if she had obtained information from just looking into the mirror. "She Called upon her Spirit pokemon, as was on the verge of abusing its powers. Now, Team Rocket knows for sure of their existence, and will do anything to get their hands on her."
Ami was shocked. "Then, it looks like we have a new mission at hand."
Michiru nodded. "Yes. We must find Usagi first. At all costs. Since she has already Summoned her Spirit pokemon and yet is still unsure, she will be one that poses the greatest threat."
"That's great, but how do we get there?" Ami asked, throwing her hands dejectedly in the air. "Its not like we can magically teleport there, and I don't have a water pokemon big enough for us to get across the ocean!" She pointed her hand at the past expanse of water around the island the pair had been stranded on, emphasizing her point.
"No problem." Michiru shrugged, and brought out another pokeball. From it grew a large pokemon, easily six or seven feet tall, with front and back flippers as well as hard shell that resembled a flat seat, covering its back.
. "Oh." Ami sized up Michiru's other pokemon, and was a bit unnerved to see it gazing calmly into her eyes at her, as if reading her every single thought.
Michiru clambered onto her Lapras, patiently waiting for Ami, who was still goggling at the sight of the pokemon. "You coming or not? I don't have all day."
Mutely, Ami nodded, and Ami could have sworn that the Lapras winked at her before obeying Michiru's orders. She sighed. This was one hectic day. For sure.
** I know, I know, my chapters are getting shorter. Sorry... writer's block. I, unlike certain people (glares at a numerous bunch of people) still have school. Also, I've run out of ideas for normal pokemon for each character. Since each character is allowed up to 6 normal pokemon, and I only have one or two normal pokemon for each, feel free to write any suggestions. I will choose your first suggestion, as long as it is a pokemon of the person's element. But only choose one pokemon and for one character. For example: write: Togepi, Minako, if you think Minako should have Togepi. Give a reason if you want. I'll list the characters and their elements below:
Usagi - any type - Clefairy and ??
Ami - Ice type - Seel, and ??
Rei - Fire type - Vulpix, Ponyta, Flareon, and ??
Makoto - Electric and Grass Type - Mareep, Raichu and ??
Minako - Normal Type - Meowth and ??
Michiru - Water Type - Azumarril, Lapras (I know, it's a water/ice type), and ??
Haruka - Flying or Steel type - Skarmory, Scizor and ??
Setsuna - Psychic type - Celebi, Unknown and ??
Hotaru - Dark type - Umbreon, and ??
Mamoru (who will probably make almost no appearances) - Ground type - ??
