Chapter 2
It's A Whole New World
"Oh, Miss Belldandy! You've finally arrived!"
A young woman, probably the same age as Urd, stepped out from behind a counter to greet them as they entered. She had pink hair that was tied in two large ring like loops with a nurse's cap and apron. Her poofy skirt reached just below her knees and was supported by layer upon layer of white petticoats underneath. The sleeves were equally poofy and equally pink as the rest of the dress. They were short; maybe just the first fourth of her upper arm. The young woman had blue eyes, almost as blue as Belldandy's. She seemed to be in constant cheer, and her cheeks were pink from the kind smile she wore across her face.
Keiichi noted that Belldandy's cheeks were just as rosy, maybe even rosier. Not to mention that there was something about Bell that made her glow with joy. Beautiful as this woman was, no one could beat Belldandy when it came to looks. Keiichi grinned as he thought of this. He was so lucky!
"Yes, we're sorry we're late, Nurse Joy," Belldandy said with a slight bow.
"That's all right," Nurse Joy said kindly. She then looked at Keiichi, Skuld, and Urd. "These must be your friends. Good afternoon to you all!"
Kei smiled and bowed politely. "Good afternoon, ma'am. I'm Keiichi. This here is..."
"I believe it was you that picked up the telephone, am I right?" Nurse Joy interjected. "Oh, I'm sorry for interrupting."
The young man was surprised that Nurse Joy recognized his voice. "Uh, yeah, actually. That was me."
She then smiled at him. "It's a pleasure to meet you!"
Keiichi laughed, slightly embarrassed. Urd nudged him hard in his side, and he returned to his introductions. Belldandy merely laughed quietly. "A-Anyway, this here's Urd, and over there is Skuld."
Urd only nodded politely with a slight smile while Skuld flashed only the smallest smile. Her eldest sister nudged her and they added quickly, "Nice to meet you." Nurse Joy smiled at Skuld, hoping that that would make the young girl trust her a bit more, before turning back to Belldandy.
"I must thank you for coming on such short notice," she said softly. "The clothes you'll be wearing are in that closet over there." The nurse gestured toward a closet behind the counter and checked her watch. She frowned slightly. "I'm sorry I can't stay long, but I really must be on my way now."
"That's alright," Belldandy said with a smile. "We'll be fine on our own."
"Okay," Nurse Joy said, grabbing her coat. "Thanks again! It was nice meeting you all."
Keiichi waved goodbye as the glass doors slid open automatically to let the pink haired nurse out of the clinic. Urd and Skuld watched her disappear as Belldandy walked calmly to the closet and pulled out the clinic's uniforms, the exact same dress that Nurse Joy had been wearing, complete with the little hat. Bell could only smile. She pulled out two other dresses and a doctor's coat for Keiichi. She then turned around to face everyone else.
"Here everyone," Belldandy called, walking back toward them with the uniforms in her arms. "Please, put these on."
The relief was easy to see on Keiichi's face. He simply picked up the coat and put it on over his plain white sweatshirt. As for the goddesses, they had to excuse themselves as they went to the back room to change. This gave Kei some time to examine the clinic head to toe. Wait, hadn't Belldandy said it was called the "Ecruteak City Pokémon Center"? What was a "Pokémon"? She had also said to keep in mind that this was a different dimension, and not to act surprised at anything unusual. He tried to hide his confusion and kept himself busy by watching all the kids in the lobby.
And that was when Keiichi learned what a Pokémon was. All of the children in the lobby were holding at least one red, white, and black sphere. It would open up, and in a flash of crimson light, an animal, often resembling objects or animals in Keiichi's dimension, would appear. He assumed that all these creatures were called Pokémon. As Kei scanned everyone in the lobby, he realized that not all of them were kids. He noticed a few men and women about his age. And suddenly (and finally, after quite a while), it dawned on him that it was one thirty in the afternoon, and that all these kids, some kindergarten level, weren't in school. That thought was interrupted by the doorbell sound of people passing through the door. Kei's attention turned to the group of pre-teens walking in.
Two boys and a girl. One of the boys was rather short (which sure made Keiichi feel better) in comparison to the only girl of the group. He wore a red and white cap with a green L over the bill covering his spiky black hair. His blue and white jacket fluttered around him as he ran ahead of the group, revealing his jet black T-shirt underneath. He had blue jeans and sneakers, at which a yellow Pokémon - or at least, what Keiichi was assuming to be one - that looked like a cross between a rabbit and a mouse ran close to.
The girl of the group had red hair, tied to one side in a sort of ponytail, which only made Kei think about the time Belldandy had worn her hair like that, when they'd first gone to the beach. That in turn only made him wonder what Belldandy looked like in the nurse outfit. She also wore denim shorts with red suspenders, a yellow tank top underneath, and red sneakers. In her arms she held a Pokémon, a tiny little creature still in its broken egg, which waved its arms about frantically as the first boy shouted things at which this girl would yell back a sharp response. Keiichi even caught parts of this conversation: "I totally won that last badge! Right? We just nailed him!" "Oh please, you won that because the gym leader felt sorry for you! Just like all the others did!"
The last boy had spiky dark brown hair and tanned skin. His eyes were narrow slits in his face, and for a moment Keiichi thought that his eyes were shut. The boy wore a green vest over an orange T-shirt and a pair of brown pants with matching brown sneakers to match. He seemed taller, and much more mature than the young "couple," as Keiichi observed, and watched as this boy settled their argument with a comment Kei couldn't hear. The argument stopped completely, the first boy now standing still.
It wasn't long before Keiichi realized that he did in fact have a job, and turned around to ask Belldandy if she knew what exactly their job was. But he didn't get around to it.
"Hi Nurse - Hey, you're not Nurse Joy."
His heart skipped a beat. Great. He had a customer, and he had absolutely no idea on what to do for this job. Keiichi quickly put on a smile and turned around, only to see the small group he'd been watching earlier standing at the counter. He could now see the face of the boy with the hat. He had slightly tanned skin, and piercingly curious brown eyes.
"Uh…" Keiichi searched for something to say.
The boy leaned forward a little, his face becoming a bit more serious. "Hey, ya haven't answered my question!"
His question? Keiichi blinked. "You didn't ask a question."
The girl's face broke out into a broad smile, and she looked at the boy smugly. He didn't pay her any attention. But the taller boy looked disappointed to find that a man was in the Pokémon Center, instead of an attractive woman nurse. The shorter boy failed to notice that, too. "Where's Nurse Joy?" he asked.
Ah, a question that Kei knew the answer to. "Nurse Joy isn't here. I'm one of the people who will be taking her place for a couple of days, Keiichi Morisato."
Both boys looked shocked. They exchanged confused glances. "Nurse Joy is allowed to leave the clinic?"
The girl looked at Keiichi, amused. "Who would've thought that Nurse Joy would have a guy take over for her?" she said, half to herself, half to the boys.
That was nice, Keiichi thought somewhat angrily. Keiichi glanced at her sharply, opening his mouth to reply.
"What's that s'posed to mean?" the boy with the cap snapped.
Keiichi found himself feeling better. Someone had taken the words right out of his mouth.
The taller boy spoke up. "But he did say he's only one of the people." His expression was hopeful.
Keiichi nodded. "That's true. Actually, I'm kinda… the only guy." His voice had gotten softer as he finished the sentence.
The taller boy grinned, his face turning red. "Yes!" he whispered to himself.
"So where are the others in charge?" the girl asked, leaning forward slightly.
The back door creaked open, and Keiichi turned around, hoping to see Belldandy's beautiful, familiar face. And he did. His face turned red as the door opened wide, revealing Bell in her nurse's outfit, with a kind, warm smile.
"Keiichi?" she said sweetly. "How do I look?"
"You look…" He watched Bell spin around to give him a better look. "…Beautiful."
She moved forward and was about to embrace her boyfriend when she noticed the group of teenagers at the counter. Belldandy blinked, surprised. "Good afternoon," she said to them with a slight bow.
The response came clear from the girl of the group, a loud energetic, "Good afternoon, miss!" However, the responses from the boys were only embarrassed little mumbles. From behind Belldandy came out Skuld's curious little head, ever watchful over her big sister. It was a good thing she'd brought her dolphin gun and her tools. She hurried back into the room to retrieve her squirt gun. And with a little bit of tweaking…
Belldandy continued. "Welcome to the Ecruteak Pokémon Center. I am the…" She caught herself on the word "goddess," glancing at Keiichi. "… The substitute nurse, Belldandy." She smiled at her boyfriend.
It wasn't a lie. She just wouldn't tell the whole truth.
The boy with the hat came to his senses quicker than his friend, sensing that the girl was about to hit him on the back of his head. He cast a wary glance behind him and opened his mouth before the fist came down.
"Oh right," he said, which stopped the blow from coming down on him. "I'm Ash Ketchum, and this here's my Pokémon, Pikachu."
Keiichi watched, trying to hide his amazement, when the yellow creature jumped up to his shoulder and perched on his head, its little yellow paws clinging to his red hat. It looked at him with curious brown eyes, then smiled with an energetic, "Pika!"
Ash looked up at it, making him go cross eyed, then laughed with it at some joke only they understood. The girl spoke up, before Keiichi's face told them that, well, he wasn't exactly from around there. She smiled at Kei and Bell, and clutched her little egg in her arms.
"And my name is Misty," she smiled. She then lifted the egg for them to see. "This is my Pokémon, Togepi. Say 'hi,' Togepi…" The little creature waved its arms with a shrill cry.
The goddess only smiled warmly at all the introductions, her boyfriend standing behind her. It was then that Ash noticed that the third member of his party was… well… being rude. Misty, who had been cooing softly to her Togepi, suddenly looked up at the last boy, an angry look in her eye. Belldandy cocked her head curiously to one side, completely clueless.
Ash laughed, embarrassed, and apologized for his friend. "That's Brock. His brain doesn't work too well around pretty girls…"
He looked over at Brock, and sighed. A lost cause.
"Oh?" Belldandy turned around at the feel of a good push. She saw only her little sister in her nurse's outfit, holding something concealed within the folds of her skirt. Her little face was red with anger, and her burning brown eyes were on Brock's blushing face. Keiichi knew what was coming next, and could only back away, eyes wide. Ash, Misty, and Pikachu gasped at the sight of the angry goddess (though of course, they didn't know she was a goddess at the time) and tried to snap their companion out of his "pretty girl" daze.
"Brock? Brock? Please, Brock, snap out of it!" they said as they nudged him roughly.
"PIKACHU! PI PIKA!" the little Pokémon screamed urgently, waving its arms.
"How dare you look at my big sister that way," Skuld said under her breath. "No one, not even Keiichi, is allowed to do that."
Pikachu fell into a zone of complete silence, eyes wide in horror, its little paws digging into Ash's hat. Ash took a step back, but was still hanging onto his friend's arm and shaking him. "Brock! Snap out of it! C'mon, Brock!"
Misty held Togepi as though her life depended on it. Keiichi felt as though he should count down, and did so mentally.
Five, four, three, two…
Skuld raised her arms. The item she'd been hiding within her skirt was revealed as a squirt gun in the shape of a dolphin. Keiichi recognized it. He recalled a stream of water shooting from it and hitting his face. It wouldn't be too dangerous.
She fired at Brock's face.
One.
The stream of water was unusually strong, and knocked Brock off his feet. Ash had finally let go of Brock's arm and, together with Misty and Pikachu, watched him fall to the ground, their faces expressing a mix of shock and amazement. Even Keiichi was shocked to see how strong the jet had become. Amazing what a few minutes of tweaking could do. At least Brock had finally come back to his senses. He wiped his face and shouted, "Hey!" at the raven-haired goddess now standing in front of Belldandy, her arms folded across her chest.
"What was that for?" he yelled.
She leaned forward, her brown eyes piercing through him. "I know what you were thinking about my big sister, you… you dirty old man."
"PIKACHU?" the little Pokémon squealed at Skuld's comment.
Keiichi rolled his eyes. He'd heard this routine all too often. Only difference was that this time, Skuld's anger was being inflicted on someone else. It was true, Skuld had indeed called Keiichi himself a dirty old man before. He would have laughed, if he didn't know what it felt like to be the trigger of Skuld's hate.
" 'Big sister'?" Ash, Misty, and Brock all looked up at Belldandy's apologetic face. She glanced at them, then back at Keiichi, who only sighed at Skuld's, well, usual overprotective nature. Bell then stepped forward and put one hand on Skuld's shoulder. Skuld whirled around at her big sister's touch and looked up into her blue eyes.
"Skuld, that was very rude of you," she said softly. "Please, apologize to him."
The effect Bell had on her little sister was simply amazing. She opened her mouth to protest, then shut it again. When Skuld turned back to Brock, her face had completely changed. Her brown eyes were lowered to the floor, her cheeks were noticeably paler, her lips in a slight apologetic frown. She looked like the angelic goddess she was supposed to be. She bowed slightly and said bluntly, "I'm sorry."
"You really should be more obedient, Skuld. How many times have I told you that?"
Urd was now standing in the doorway, leaning to one side with arms folded across her chest. Keiichi was feeling completely humiliated now. The oldest goddess had "fixed" her dress to her approval. The skirt had been cut so it was practically a mini-skirt, and the puffy sleeves had been cut off. Urd had chosen to wear knee-high socks to make up for it all. Keiichi knew that Brock's brain had burned out already, and when he looked at him again, it was true.
"Urd, did ya have to do that to your dress?" Keiichi said, looking up at the ceiling.
"What?" she asked, feigning innocence. "What's wrong with it?"
Keiichi sighed heavily and looked to Bell for support. He didn't get any. Belldandy clearly knew how to do this job, and was busy attending to the needs of the other trainers. Keiichi looked to Ash and his friends, then tapped Belldandy lightly on the shoulder. She turned to face him, cradling a Pokémon in her arms. She looked intensely worried, more so than Keiichi had seen her be in a long while.
"Hey Bell?" Keiichi called after her. "Care to fill me in on the basics?"
Urd watched Keiichi leave with one emerald eye, then turned her attention to Ash and his friends before her. It seemed Ash and Misty always argued.
"I really showed that Morty, huh?" Ash gloated with a silly grin across his face.
Misty rolled her eyes at him. "Oh please, Ash! Morty only gave you that badge because--"
"Because I'm a talented Pokémon trainer!" Ash interrupted. "I'm well on my way to becoming a great Pokémon master!"
"He took pity on you! Just like the others!"
Pikachu looked first at its master, then at Misty, and sighed. It was like fighting the tide.
"You two never quit, do you?" Brock sighed, his brain functioning at the sound of his comrades' arguing. "Really, you guys. Let's just leave it at, 'Ash got the badge.' Okay?"
Brock then leaned toward Ash, saying something to him quietly. Ash grinned then looked smugly at Misty, who was now glaring at the two boys, obviously enraged by being left in the dark.
Skuld was much calmer now, and was staring at Ash's empty PokéBalls that he'd left on the counter. She reached forward and picked one up with one hand and brought it up to her face. She examined it closely and pressed the white button. It enlarged, and Skuld let out a tiny "Oh!" of surprise. Urd sighed.
"Interesting…" Skuld pushed the little white button a second time, which made it split and open, allowing her to examine the interior closely. "Hmm…"
It wasn't long before Skuld's little "Oh"s and "Hmm"s caught Ash's attention. And Ash, being the curious little fool he was, leaned forward and asked Skuld, "What are ya doin'?"
"Analyzing the structure of this sphere," she said, not looking up and forgetting that she was in a different dimension. "I just want to see how the sphere enlarges and opens, and how all that mechanical equipment fits into a small spherical device like this." Skuld shut the PokéBall and tapped it. "Hmm… I just don't understand how all the microprocessors and other various parts can fit and function properly."
This is bad, Urd thought, trying to figure out how to inconspicuously remind her youngest sister that they were in a different world. It was going to be hard, what with Ash listening to her wonder out loud. It didn't take long for Urd to realize that she couldn't bring Skuld back to reality, and therefore did nothing.
"Why do ya wanna know all that?" he asked, brimming with curiosity.
She answered without looking up at him. "If I ever want to build this, I know the basic mechanical structure…" Skuld poked the exterior, then shrunk the ball. "That's the best part." She enlarged it again, smiling, and shrunk it back. Skuld then pulled away, hanging on to the PokéBall. "I can keep this, right?" she asked, turning to Ash.
He was completely dumbfounded. "Uh… sure?"
The youngest goddess grinned and put the shrunken PokéBall into her apron pocket and ran into the backroom. Urd sighed heavily. She knew what was coming next.
"Uh, Miss Urd?" It was Ash. "What's with her?"
"With Skuld?" she said, looking over at him with one eye shut. "She's just got a bit of a mecha-fetish, that's all. Back home she's always fiddling around with her tools and her inventions."
She yawned to show him how bored she was with her little sister's activities. Ash sighed and turned back to his comrades, who were already on the other side of the room, sitting on the benches and talking calmly. Pikachu stayed close to his heels the whole way. Urd watched him run toward them, waving one gloved hand, and it was at that instant that Belldandy and Keiichi returned to tend to any other customers.
"Hey Bell," Urd called as Belldandy passed her. "Yo, k-boy."
"Hi Urd," Kei called. Belldandy only rushed past, reaching out for the injured Pokémon a young boy had brought up to the counter. Keiichi halted next to Urd and gave her a questioning look. "Urd, what are you up to now?"
"Hmm?" Urd pointed at herself innocently. "Me? Why nothing!" Urd smiled innocently and clasped her hands together. Then her face dropped back into her usual mischievous look. "Actually, I was only wondering if we could have a huge Pokémon Trainer party here in the clinic."
"I should've known," Keiichi said, then rushed to Belldandy's side to inspect the injured creature.
"Oh, Keiichi," Bell cried, her voice dripping with desperation. "Please help me get this poor creature to the operating room!"
The words "operating room" caught Keiichi off guard. "Operating room?" he cried. Then suddenly decided to play along and looked at the unconscious Pokémon sadly.
The young boy gasped, his little green eyes filling with tears. Keiichi immediately felt horrible, then made it a point that he would come back and comfort the little boy. Belldandy and Keiichi wordlessly scooped up the Pokémon and moved it into the back room. Once the creature was set on the table, the goddess's emblem began to glow softly as she reached forward and laid one divine hand on its chest area. A healing spell, obviously. Keiichi watched in silence, and then walked out the door and back to the boy who was waiting at the counter, crying quietly.
"Excuse me," he said politely to the child. The boy looked up at him, and Keiichi offered him the best smile he could. "Your Pokémon will be fine in a few hours. Please wait until it's rested up."
"Pidgey's gonna be okay?" he said hopefully.
"Yes, Pidgey will be just fine," Kei said. Now he knew the names of three Pokémon. "Don't you worry. In the meantime, do you have any other Pokémon in need of service?"
The little boy shook his head and then ran off. Keiichi put his hands behind his back and looked around him. He felt… well, kind of powerful. He didn't know why, he just did. It was incredible. A pair of hands was suddenly on his shoulders, along with the words, "Well done, K-boy."
"Thanks, Urd," Kei said, turning around and looking her full in the face.
"So about my party idea," she said with a wicked smile.
"No!" Keiichi burst. "You can ask Belldandy, but I know that I say 'no.' Got it?"
With that, Keiichi spun around, getting back to work.
"Suit yourself," Urd muttered, turning around and heading to the back room to ask her younger sister. How stupid. She, the oldest of the three goddesses, had to ask her younger sister! Ugh! How embarrassing! But then again, Bell was the first class goddess.
"Say, Bell," Urd said as she opened the door. "D'you mind if we have some kind of celebration here for all the trainers?"
Belldandy looked up from the sleeping Pidgey. Her face became radiant with the idea. "Of course! Why don't you go outside and tell all the trainers for me. I'll tell Keiichi!"
Urd almost burst out laughing. It had been that easy! As Belldandy hurried out of the room, Urd made a megaphone appear in her right hand so she could scream it out for all the trainers. As soon as she saw that Belldandy had finished telling Keiichi, Urd held the megaphone up to her mouth and turned it on.
"Attention, one and all! Attention! I'd like to announce that we, the substitute nurses and doctor of the Ecruteak City Pokémon Center, are going to be holding a trainer's party here in the center tomorrow night!"
A great cry of happiness came from many of the trainers, including Ash and Brock, though Misty did give them a wary, disappointed look. The only person who didn't look very happy was Keiichi. His eyes were wide, one hand raised slightly in Urd's direction, as though he had been ready to stop her. Belldandy stood next to him, looking slightly puzzled. Urd continued with her announcement once the cries died down enough for her voice to be heard.
"Lasting from sunset to midnight! Come one and all! Tell all your friends! And I'll be seein' ya later. Ciao!"
With that, Urd blew a few kisses and winked a few times before heading back into the back room. She was greeted by her youngest sister. "What was that?" The raven-haired goddess looked both curious and upset.
"We're just going to have a party here, Skuld. No big deal."
"Party? What for?"
"Nothing in particular," Urd answered with a shrug.
The young goddess tucked some of her long dark hair behind her ear. "When is this?"
"Tomorrow night."
Skuld raised a suspicious eyebrow at her elder sister, but then dismissed her quirky behavior. It was just another one of Urd's hare-brained schemes. It really was no big deal.
Keiichi was talking to Belldandy, and Urd suspected that he was explaining why it wasn't good to be holding a party. She caught sight of Belldandy place one hand over her mouth, her expression apologetic. Urd knew that Bell would win Keiichi over. She smiled to herself, a mischievous look in her eye as she glanced over her shoulder and back at Ash and Misty.
Author's Note: I'm a bit more amused by this chapter, mainly because the cast of Pokemon make me laugh. They're all so quirky!
