Alucard's Familiar: Whew, I didn't think you guys would like this one, okay here's the second chapter. Four years have passed since Integra passed into the pokemon world and now has become a popular champion among the Hoenn region. Ash Misty and Brock meet up with her after a battle and well...you'll find out.

I don't own Hellsing or Pokemon, there.

Chapter 1 (Four years later)

"What's that sound?" Misty asked.

"Sounds like a battle," Brock answered.

"Come on, lets go check it out," Ash said as he ran ahead.

They ran up the road until the battle came into view. It was between a tall blond woman and a burly man who seemed to be gloating about how strong his pokemon were.

"You going to get your butt kicked Missy," the man said as he threw a pokeball, "Get her Machamp!"

"I quiver," the woman said flatly as she flicked a pokeball from her sleeve and threw it, "Go Sableye." The pokemon appeared and Brock noticed an out of place white stripe running up its back and ending at its forehead.

"Go Machamp, Seismic Toss!" The man shouted.

"Going to have to do better than that," the woman said as her Sableye disappeared and reappeared behind the stumbling Machamp. "Sableye, Nightshade."

"Machamp use Vital Throw!" He shouted quickly.

The woman seemed to flinch as her Sableye was hit with a direct Vital Throw.

"Sableye, return." She looked at the Machamp for a minute before flicking her wrist again, producing another pokeball, "Go Flygon." It too had an out of place white stripe, but this one was around its neck like a collar or necklace.

"Flygon use Whirlwind!" The woman shouted.

Bye Machamp. It soared over its trainers head and off into the forest somewhere.

"Oh thank God that's over," the woman said as she returned her pokemon to its ball. She went to walk into the woods when she spotted Ash and his friends,

"Can I help you?"

"Yeah, I was wondering if I could battle you," Ash said. "You're battle back there was pretty good."

"It was one of my poorer ones," the woman said as she leaned against a tree.

On closer look the three young trainers saw that this woman was exhausted and looked like she had been in a few fights.

"I'm afraid I will have to decline your request to battle," she said, "because most of my pokemon are too tired out. If you give you names I could probably find you again and we can battle."

"I'm Ash," Ash answered the request readily.

"I'm Misty," the young water pokemon trainer said.

"I'm Brock," the Breeder was a little curious about this woman. Her pokemon had markings that seemed strangely familiar and her battle style was a little different.

"Integra," the woman said. "I'm sorry I can't battle you now, but maybe we'll meet up in the next town and I'll be able to."

"All right," Ash said, "Nice meeting you!"

The woman waved as she walked into the forest and faded out of sight. Brock looked disturbed.

"Something wrong Brock?" Misty asked as they start walking again.

"That woman looked to be in pretty bad shape," Brock said, "Almost as if she were reflecting her pokemon's condition."

"She's just probably been in few too many battles," Ash said as if there was nothing wrong

"I don't think so," Brock said. "Did you see the markings on her pokemon?"

"You mean those white stripes?" Misty asked, "I thought they were a little out of place. Is it an illness?"

"No, but I have an idea of what is," Brock said.

"What is it?" Ash asked.

"There's a legend among trainers about some forming bonds with their pokemon that are so strong that they could read each other thoughts," Brock said. "It's also said that they feel each others pain. Every time one of their pokemon gets hit in battle, the trainer will feel it too, sometimes coming out with the same injury as their pokemon."

"Wouldn't those trainers have to be as physically strong as their pokemon if they wanted to continue battling?" Misty asked.

"From what I've heard, most quit battling and take up jobs instead," Brock said. "Though mostly all of this is just a legend, these trainers have been given names."

"What are they called?" Ash asked.

"Life Bonds," Brock answered, "I think that trainer might be one. Every time her pokemon got hit she would flinch or wince."

"Hey I notice that," Misty said.

"Her pokemon must be in pretty bad shape if she reflects them," Brock said.

"I hope she gets to the next town all right," Ash said.

Something blue darted out of the bushes and Ash and his friends stopped in their tracks. It looked around frantically.

"Hey look a Vaporeon," Ash said. "Is it wild?" Pikachu was getting ready to jump off of Ash's shoulder.

"No wait, look at the stripes!" Misty pointed out. There were white stripes going across the Vaporeon's sides.

"It must Integra's," Brock said as the pokemon spotted them and looked at them for a minute. Then it ran up to them and pleaded with them to follow it.

"I guess it wants us to follow it," Misty said.

"Something must have happened," Ash said as they followed the pokemon through the forest.

They emerged into a semi clearing and found Integra battling a huge gray and black pokemon.

"Whoa, it's an Aggron!" Brock said.

"What's that?" Ash said as he looked at the pokemon Integra was using.

"A Sceptile, I think it's the last evolution of Treeko," Brock said.

Integra stared at the pokemon. It had come up all of a sudden and Sceptile had popped out of its ball without being called. Feeling the urgency of the situation, Vaporeon had done the same and darted off the find help.

"Sceptile, Leaf Blade!" Integra said, her vision was beginning to blur. She watched her pokemon unleash it attack, but it was so weak that the Aggron blocked it easily and sent Sceptile into a tree.

"Sceptile, return," Integra said as she staggered. She looked at the Aggron with rage in her eyes as she flicked out an empty pokeball, "Vaporeon, Hydro Pump!" Vaporeon ran and jumped onto her shoulder, unleashing a title wave of water at the large pokemon.

The Aggron was smashed into a boulder and knocked out.

Integra smiled as she threw the pokeball at the Aggron, "No use wasting a good battle," she said as she caught the ball and watched it disappear to her storage unit, then she collapsed.

"We have to get her to shelter," Brock said as they ran up.

Sceptile popped out of its ball and looked at them menacingly.

"It's all right Sceptile, we're here to help," Brock said as he slowly inched toward the unconscious woman. It was starting to rain, and keeping her out in the cold rain wouldn't make the situation any better. "We just want to get her to shelter."

Sceptile looked at them for minute, as if reasoning whether to trust them. Finally, it bent down and picked up its trainer in its powerful arms and looked at the Brock.

"All right, this way," Brock said, and Ash and Misty followed after.
