Alucard's Familiar: "Okay, here we go, only a few more chapters left to go!"

I don't own Hellsing or its characters, or Pokemon or it's characters.

Chapter 9

"Well that wasn't a smooth landing," Integra said as she looked up from the floor. Her eyes immediately met with Walter's and she smiled up at him. "Please don't have a heart attack, I just got home."

"Sir Integra, you're alive," Walter stuttered.

"Of course I am, why wouldn't I be?" Integra asked.

"When you disappeared, we thought you had been kidnapped, assassinated," Walter said.

"No, just flung into a different dimension, nothing I can't handle," Integra said as she stood up and dusted her arms off casually.

"What's going on down there?" Came an all too familiar Italian accent.

"Shit," Walter said, then covered his mouth, "Sorry Sir Integra."

"It's all right Walter," Integra whispered.

"Down here," Alucard pulled his mistress down the dungeon stairs and closed the door behind them to wait for Maxwell to leave. Walter came down a few moments later.

"I am so glad you have returned," Walter said as he shut the door. "Maxwell is a royal pain in the behind."

"So I've been told," Integra said as she flicked a glance at Alucard.

"We have a visitor," Alucard said just before Seras came around to corner.

"Sir Integra!" The young vampire threw her arms around the woman and hugged her tightly. It was very uncharacteristic for both of them and Walter and Alucard just sort of stared and waited.

"Okay Seras, you can let me go now," Integra said as she tried to push the woman off.

"Oh, sorry Sir," Seras said as she pulled away.

"It's all right Seras," Integra said.

"Where have you been?" Walter finally asked.

"It's a long story," Integra said.

"We're all ears," Walter said.

Integra sighed, "Could we at least sit down and talk?"

Alucard walked down to his room, and they all sat in there so they wouldn't be disturbed.

"Well, explain," Walter said.

"Impatient old man aren't you?" Integra asked and Walter went to apologize, but Integra stopped him. "Don't worry Walter. We are all quite different now."

Walter gave her a strange look and Integra sighed.

"All right, let's begin," Integra said. "I was pulled into a world very different from our own. There are no vampires, no ghouls, no undead, and no Iscariot..." she got the chuckle she had waited for. "Instead there were creatures of the likes I had never seen before. They are called pokemon, and from what I learned from them, will forever change who I am."

"What do they look like?" Seras asked.

"They have many different shapes and forms," Integra said as she released her Vaporeon and Pichu. "Types and sizes," she released a Ninetails and a Seviper, "Personality and ability." Lastly, her Absol and Sceptile. "These are six of the 352 species of pokemon."

"They're cute," Seras said as the Pichu sniffed her and jumped onto her lap.

"Some are, some aren't," Integra said as Vaporeon jumped into her lap and rubbed its head under her chin.

"Which one was your first?" Walter asked as he held out his hand to Ninetail to sniff.

"Sceptile was," Integra answered, "But he wasn't always this big." She pulled out her pokedex to show them "He started out as a Treeko, the evolved into Groyvle, then into Sceptile. He's rather protective of me."

"It's like a pokemon version of Alucard," Seras said as Pichu jumped onto her head.

"I guess you could say that," Integra said as she watched as Alucard and Sceptile scowled at one another. "On no you don't. I will lock both of you up if you start doing that."

Sceptile settled for hissing at Alucard as the vampire rolled his eyes and pretended to stare at the wall. The Pichu decided that that was the time to jump onto the old vampire head, and did so, adding a rather amusing scene to the dreary room.

"Master has a Pichu on his head," Seras giggled uncontrollably.

Integra laughed as the Pichu started to dance around on Alucard's head and make Alucard turn red with embarrassment.

"Come here Pichu," Integra said and held out her arms. The little pokemon jumped to her and landed in her arms, hugging her. "They are rather lovable."

"They seem to like you a lot," Walter pointed out.

"They do," Integra said as he eyes took on a different tone. "And I like them a lot in return. It's rather strange I know, but these pokemon changed me. I am no longer a cold emotionless person anymore, I can feel, and more than you know." She signaled for Sceptile to come beside her. "I am about to show you how far some bonds go." She pulled out her knife and told Sceptile to hold out his arm. "Forgive me Sceptile." The pokemon nodded, having had to have demonstrated this before.

Integra cut along the pokemon's arm a bit until the cut was big enough before pulling away and hissing through her teeth. She held her own arm just above the place where she had just cut Sceptile and raised the sleeve. Underneath, was the same wound she had just inflicted on her pokemon, bleeding freely upon the floor.

"Sir Integra, what is this?" Walter asked as he stood up in shock.

"It's called Life Bonding," Integra as she gritted her teeth. "It's stronger than any bond of friendship imaginable. It links my thoughts, emotion, and physical health to my pokemon, and visa versa. It comes in handy sometimes."

"And other times is a pain," Walter said.

"I don't mind," Integra said as she pulled out a meter of bandage and wrapped it around Sceptile's wounded arm. Sceptile protested at this and tried to snap at the bandage to cut it and save some for her. Integra just whacked him on the head and told him to be quit as she finished bandaging him.

She turned to find Alucard standing next to her with his cravat in his hand. He used it to wrap around Integra's arm until they could get to adequate bandages later. Maxwell would have a tizzy fit if he found someone going into the store or bandages for some unknown reason, and they didn't need that.

"Well, now that that is settled, what shall we do about Maxwell?" Walter asked.

Before Integra could answer, something flashed behind them and they turned to see a portal open up and Ash, Misty, Brock, Mew, and Mewtwo stumble through it.

"What the?" Integra asked as the three trainers looked around the room. "What are you three doing here?"

"We came to help," Ash said. "You helped us, we came to return the favor."

"This is way more than you know how to handle, go back right now," Integra said.

A knock came at the door and Maxwell's voice could be heard from the other side. Alucard opened his coffin for Integra to hide in and Mew joined her as receptor for Mewtwo, so they knew when to reopen the portal as the rest jumped back through and left the room looking as though only Walter, Seras, and Alucard were in it.

"Who gave you permission to loiter when there is work to be done?" Maxwell asked as he came into the room uninvited.

"We don't need permission Catholic," Alucard growled said as he sat on top of his coffin. "We do as we like."

"Maybe you vampiric filth do, but our good friend Walter does not, get back to work!" Maxwell shouted at the old man, who slumped his shoulders and walked out of the room, glancing back only once before. Maxwell glared at Alucard for a moment before leaving the room, Seras closing the door behind him.

Alucard hopped off his coffin and opened the lid. Integra sat up with a sigh and Mew floated out looking squashed.

"I like the look of you in my coffin," Alucard grinned. "Mind staying in there?"

"Not a chance Alucard," Integra said as she stood up at stepped out of the coffin.

A portal reopened and Ash, Misty, Brock, and Mewtwo stepped through once again.

-That was a little too close for comfort- Mewtwo said.

"No kidding," Integra said as she picked up her backpack from the floor and opened it. She pulled out two daggers, a knife, and a handgun.

"Did we know you had those?" Brock asked.

"No," Integra said as she inspected her gun. "These were the weapons I had on me when I was pulled into your world. I kept them with me in case of emergencies, and to my fortune, never had to use them." She took the bullets out of the gun and pulled the trigger a couple of times to get it warmed up again. She reloaded it and set it down on the table. "I only have three bullets, and I can't have Alucard raiding the stores at the moment, so I'll have to save them."

"What can we do to help?" Ash asked.

"Stay put," Integra said as she walked to the door with Alucard.

"We didn't come all the way here to stay put, we came here to help," Ash said.

"This isn't like anything you've faced before Ash," Integra said as she turned to look at him, eyes like ice. "This will be a fight with a lot of death in it, and a lot of it will come from my hands. I don't want you to see it."

-The children came here knowing that Integra- Mewtwo said. -Give them a chance, I am sure they will be a good addition to your force, especially since your forces are controlled by another.-

"Fine," Integra turned to Alucard and whispered into his ear. He disappeared and returned moments later with a long sword and three hand guns.

"I want you three armed," Integra said as Alucard walked up and handed them the guns. The three of them took them hesitantly, their hands never touching a weapon like this before in their lives. "If either of you three are killed in this fight, I will never forgive myself for letting you help." Integra said as she strapped the sword to her belt. She turned towards the door once again. "Follow me." ***

Alucard's Familiar: "Woooooo, Ash and the gang got guns. I should be ashamed of myself. Hehe. Next chapter, the fight with Maxwell!
