Alucard's Familiar: "Why did I write this? It's sad, not to mention OOC to the moon and back. Oh well. Sorry for the OOCness now so I don't have to write apologies at the end. Yes, please bare with me, the OOCness ends here, believe me.
I don't own Hellsing or Pokemon...wah!
They soared over the mountains at top speed watching the ground below them whiz by like a river going in the opposite direction.
"I am going to shoot Maxwell in the head when I get home," Integra said.
Alucard chuckled, "That's the Integra I know."
"Well, you're going to have to get used to this one, because I am not the same one I left as," Integra said as she turned to look at him with a small smile.
"Yes Master," Alucard said with a slight grin of his own.
The gust of wind took them by complete surprise and they were hurtled from the air. Alucard and Integra were thrown from the pokemon's back and separated as they crashed into the forest.
Integra woke to someone shaking her and she looked up into Alucard's red eyes. Then she saw red as she felt agonizing pain run through her back, head, and arms and legs. She felt her skin tear open on some parts of her body and she screamed in pain. She quickly subdued her screams and stood up ignoring the pain.
"Master," Alucard steadied her as she stood. "What's going on?"
"Tropius, I have to find him, he's hurt, badly," Integra panted as she stumbled through the forest.
"You are hurt," Alucard said as he tried to follow his master.
"Some of this is mine," Integra managed, "A lot of this is a reflection of the injuries...Tropius has." She cried out and fell to her knees, blood running from her mouth as she tried to clear her vision.
"Integra! Alucard! Where are you!" Came Ash's voice.
"Over here!" Alucard shouted as he knelt down beside his master. He studied her and found four lacerations on her body, one down her left leg, a giant one running from her neck and all the way down to her right hand. One showing through the rip in her shirt on her side, and the last one was across her chest. He could sense she had a few broken ribs from the fall, but there was a strange unreadable energy source radiating from her back.
Integra stumbled to her feet again as Ash came up from behind them.
"Are you guys all right, I saw Tropius get thrown into the forest, whoa!" Ash had gotten close enough to see Integra's injuries.
Integra ignored the young teenager and started walking through the forest again. All she could do was keep moving forward. It seemed the closer she got to her friend, the more pain came. She could hear him trying to move as she neared enough to see him and she dashed over when she finally caught sight of the camouflaged body in the darkness.
"Tropius," Integra whispered as she knelt down by the dinosaur pokemon's massive head. "It'll be all right Tropius, just hold on." She pulled out his pokeball and returned him. She felt the pain fade a little, but she feared the worst for her pokemon. "We have to find a Pokemon Center."
"I saw one just before I landed," Ash said, "It's ahead of us about half a mile. If we start heading there now we should make it there in a short amount of time."
"Let's go," Integra shoved the pain aside and focused on the forest in front of her. She concentrated on each step, using everything she knew to keep herself from thinking of the pain. She fell once, and when Alucard went to help her, she slapped him away and stood up herself.
"It's good to know she still retains some of her stubbornness," Alucard said as he followed behind his master.
Ash had been meaning to ask Alucard this question the minute he had met him, "Alucard, if you don't mind me asking, what was Integra like, before she came here?"
Alucard laughed lowly before he looked over at the boy. He sent some images of Integra before she had changed. The first few were of Integra sitting at her desk looking angry or irritated. The next couple were of her kicking a few ghouls and FREAKS butts. The very last one of Integra stabbing herself in the throat, which made Ash nearly fall over.
"That's unbelievable," Ash said as he stumbled after them. He looked up at the woman who was ahead of him, and tried to put her in a situation like that as the person she was now. He could almost imagine it, but she was nothing like the person he had seen in the images. How could it be possible? Then he noticed the lights from the Pokemon Center, "Hey there it is!"
Integra mumbled something as Alucard, ignoring her orders, wrapped one arm around her waist and put one of her arms over his shoulders so he could let her walk, but lean most of her weight on him.
Ash ran in first to make sure someone was up, then made sure the nurses were ready for an uncomfortable sight before Alucard walked in with Integra. Though the vampire had gotten ride of the red coat and formal wear for travel wear, he still looked menacing with his red as and height.
"What happened here?" Asked the Nurse Joy.
"A gust of wind knocked her Tropius out of the air and it's hurt really badly," Ash explained.
"Looks as if its trainer got beat up pretty well too," Joy said as Alucard set Integra down on the floor. She was unable to move any farther.
"No, that's the thing Nurse Joy, she's a Life Bond trainer," Ash said as he pointed out the white necklace that Integra now held in her hand, the chain cut and broken. "She's the reflection of her pokemon."
"Ash, can you get it?" Integra asked, "Third pokeball on my right side, I can't move."
"Sure," Ash answered as he unclipped the pokeball from the woman's belt and handed it to the nurse. "It's hurt pretty bad."
"Bring her back as well, I don't know what kind of nurse I would be if I didn't treat the injured trainer along with the pokemon." They followed the nurse back, "You said this was a Tropius?"
"Yes," Integra said as Alucard carried her.
"All right, follow me," Joy said as she turned off course and into a giant room. She released the pokemon from its pokeball and Tropius appeared lying on the floor, instantly creating a puddle of blood where he lay.
Alucard had set Integra on her feet just before Joy had released the pokemon, and now the woman screamed out in pain and fell to her knees, causing the wounds that had managed to stop bleeding, start pouring blood again.
Joy examined the pokemon, and the prognosis was grim. She frowned as she walked over to its trainer only minutes after starting her examination. "I'm afraid it's back is broken, and there is nothing I can do. He's too big."
"And... this...gives me...what choice?" Integra panted as blood started to seep from her mouth.
"The only way to let your pokemon go, you're going to have to break the bond that binds you to it," Joy said as she opened the woman's hand and laid a scalpel in it. "You need to cut the white ring around your Tropius's neck to let him go. He will not be able to die while he is connected to you, and you will only suffer as he gets weaker and weaker."
Integra shuddered as she stood up and stumbled over to her pokemon. She slowly sat down near the ring around Tropius's neck and looked over at his head, he was looking back at her. "Are you ready to go...Tropius?" The pokemon nodded its massive head with a vocalization of good-bye. Integra lifted the scalpel to the pokemon's neck and quickly cut through with white ring, watching the pokemon relax as the bond was cut. She watched as her pokemon's eyes closed in comfort, knowing they would never open again.
Integra shuddered as she sobbed and backed away from her pokemon's body. She stood up and stumbled back over to Alucard and Ash, letting the nurse handle the rest.
Ash left the room as Integra fell against Alucard's chest. She looked up at him with glassy eyes and gasped when she felt the lacerations on her arm, chest, side, and leg start to tingle. She watched them flash white, then close on their own accord. Her back stopped aching, and all that was left behind was a dull ache at the sight of each laceration.
"Interesting," Alucard said as he lifted his master's arm to inspect it. There wasn't even a scar. "Seems like those life bonds have their limits after all."
"What do you mean?" Integra asked as she walked out of the room, no longer wishing to look upon her fallen friend. They walked into the front room and found Ash on the videophone speaking to Professor Oak.
"Here she is Professor," Ash said as he turned to look at the woman. "The Professor wants to talk to you."
"All right," Integra said as Ash stood up and she took his seat. "Yes Professor?"
"Are you all right?" Oak asked, his voice was stern and serious.
"I'll be all right," Integra answered, finally realizing that her eyes were too dry for tears to fall anymore. Alucard stood behind her, almost defensively watching over her.
"To be honest, I really don't know how to respond," Oak said. "I've never been witness to a pokemon death, and I haven't known anyone else has either, until now."
"It's all right Professor, I'll manage," Integra said. "I need to get to Hoenn right now. I'll have to call Professor Birch to find out what other flying pokemon I have that are big enough to carry both of us."
"All right then, if you need anything you know all you need to do is call right?" Oak asked.
"Yes sir," Integra said as she hung up the phone and dialed in Birch's number.
"Hello Integra, what can I help you with?" Birch asked cheerfully, having no knowledge of the tragedy.
"I need to know what other pokemon I have that is big enough to carry two people and fly at the same time," Integra said.
"What happened to Tropius, he's your best bet when it comes to that," Birch said.
Integra hung her head, "Tropius is dead sir. He just died."
"What?" Birch asked. "How?"
"Broken back, he broke it in a fall from a strong wind," Integra explained. "Please sir, I need to get back to Hoenn before the night ends. Do I have any other flying pokemon that can carry two people?"
"I believe so, let me look," Birch said, and his image disappeared from the screen for a minute.
"Excuse me Master, but if you don't mind me saying, that man is retarded," Alucard said.
"Shut up Alucard," Integra said without much force.
Birch appeared on the screen, "You have an Aerodactal, a Lugia, and a Flygon."
"I forgot about Lugia, I'll use it," Integra said.
"All right, it'll be over in a minute," Birch said, and the screen went black.
Integra sighed as she stood and walked over to the receiver. Alucard watched as a pokeball appeared in a flash of light and Integra picked in up. "Let's go."
They walked back outside, thankful for the darkness, and Integra released Lugia from its ball. Having caught it in the Orange Islands, it was larger than the others she had seen and its colors were a little brighter.
They took flight and Integra watched as ocean replaced mountains. They would fly over ocean for a few hours before they reached land again, but then the journey would be almost over. Professor Birch's lab was right near the wharf, so you could look out the window and see the ocean.
"I believe we will give Walter a heart attack when we return," Alucard said as he pulled his master up against his chest possessively.
"I hope not," Integra said. "I haven't seen him in four years. He has to stay alive at least long enough to see him again."
Alucard chuckled, "I just hope we make it to this human's place before the sun rises."
"We should," Integra said as she watched the water below them.
Lugia, the water loving pokemon it was, soared low over the water and leaned slightly to the left to dip its wing into the water. Water drops hit its trainer as he did so and Integra laughed as she leaned over and splashed water at the vampire behind her.
Alucard spit out the water that had gotten into his mouth and splashed Integra back. They both laughed as Lugia pulled up from the water and flew higher in the sky again.
To their right Mewtwo appeared beside them and flew with them.
Mew landed in Integra's lap with a plop and Integra chuckled. The little pokemon was content with have its chin scratched and lavished the attention by lying on its back and getting its belly scratched.
To their surprise, the sun started to peek over the mountains and Alucard hissed at the light.
"Shit, what do we do?" Integra asked Mewtwo.
-You'll have to go back now,- the psychic pokemon answered.
"Are you sure, I mean, I'll have to take my pokemon with me," Integra said.
-You will need them anyways,- Mewtwo said as he opened a portal, -Return your pokemon and jump through.-
Integra had a better idea. She jabbed her fingernail into the skin at the base of Lugia's neck and drew it upwards, severing the Bond between them. "Go home Lugia." With that, she and Alucard leapt off the pokemon and through the portal, back home.
