Aroura: O...M...G...I don't even have a good excuse for this one...(hides face in shame)
Akki: Well, I had nothing to do with this...(whistles suspicious tune)
Aroura: What the f-- do you mean when you say that you had nothing to do with this?! You're my co-author!! You had everything to do with this!!
Akki:...well...I really think that they don't wanna hear this right now...lets...just...get on with the story...
"Professor Oak, are you here?" Ash cried as the Gang walked into the lab. The only noise that returned was the sound of machinery beeping and the Gang's footsteps.
"Hey! It's Ashy-boy!!" The Gang turned to the staircase to find a brown-haired boy in a white lab coat at the top.
"My name is not Ashy-boy!" Ash yelled, Pikachu nodding his agreement.
"So, what are you doing back so soon?" the boy asked. "I thought you weren't coming back until you were Pokemon Master or something like that."
"Yeah…well…"
Misty stepped forward. "We need to get some starters for them." She jabbed a finger over her shoulder at Yumi and the others. "We also need to get their Pokemon." She motioned to Lizzy and Kelsey.
"Yeah…what she said!!" Ash said. He gave a snort and crossed his arms over his chest.
"Ash! What are you doing here?" a man with graying hair trotted down the stairs and to the Gang.
"Can we go to the back?" Kelsey asked, hopping up and down like a very excited jackrabbit.
"Of course." The Professor said absentmindedly. Kelsey and Lizzy ran to the back of the lab and out into the backyard, the Lyoko Gang following close behind. Ash glanced at Misty, who shrugged her shoulders and followed after the others. They found the two Angels standing in the middle of a clearing. Lizzy nudged Kelsey's elbow.
Kelsey grinned and cupped her hands around her mouth. "Gurasu!!"
"Leafeon!!" A small green fox hopped out of the tree above the Angels' heads and landed on Kelsey's shoulder, knocking its trainer's glasses askew.
"There, there, girl. It's all right." Kelsey whispered. "Have you been good?" The tiny angel placed one small finger on the emerald in the fox-like pokemon's headdress.
"Leaf!" Gurasu rubbed her head against Kelsey's cheek.
Kelsey turned to Lizzy and poked her with one finger. "Well?"
Lizzy turned with her back facing the others. "Koori!!"
"Glace eon glace!!" A bright blue fox with a thick gold bejeweled necklace wrapped its body around Lizzy's leg.
Lizzy scooped the Glaceon into her arms. "How's my baby?"
"Eon glace!" Koori licked Lizzy's cheek as Gurasu hopped out of Kelsey's arms and onto the head Angel's head.
"They are SOOO cute!!" Aelita cried, pulling Gurasu off of Lizzy's head. "I want one!!"
Kelsey grinned. "Well-"
Kelsey was cut off by the cries of multiple Pokemon as they rushed over to their owners and mauled them.
"Guys! Get OFF!!" Lizzy cried.
"Run!!" Misty yelled, sprinting back towards the door. The others followed her, yelling and shaking off Pokemon the whole time. They all ran inside the doors and slammed them shut, breathing hard.
"Okay, you guys, here's something you might want to know." Lizzy gasped, addressing the Lyoko Gang. "When you guys get your Pokemon and you see that they're about to do that," she motioned to the hoard of Pokemon behind the glass door, staring at her and Kelsey, "run like there's no tomorrow. Do not let them catch you. We're lucky that we were able to get away."
"Yeah." Ash agreed. Pikachu nodded and flopped forward over his master's shoulder.
"Come on!! I wanna get my Pokemon! I don't care if they mob me! I want one!!" Odd yelled, scrambling to his feet.
"Fine, fine. Just hold your horses…" Lizzy moaned. Odd ran over, latched onto her wrist, and dragged her into one of the larger rooms of the lab. The Gang stood and scrambled into the room.
"Come on, Gary! It's not that many pokeballs!" A voice echoed from the staircase.
"Oh, really? Then I wanna see you carry all of these down there!! A second voice cried. A yelp was heard after that, then a crash, and a couple dozen pokeballs rolled into the room. "See what you made me do?!"
"Gary, help me pick these up." Professor Oak said. A minute later, he and Gary walked into the room, their arms filled with pokeballs. "You guys ready for your first Pokemon?"
The Gang answered with a round of 'yeah's, or, in Jeremy's case, an 'I guess'. The two emptied their armfuls of pokeballs onto a table in the center of the room.
"Who wants to go first?" May asked. Odd's hand immediately shot into the air, knocking Jeremy's glasses askew. Odd ran forward, picked up the first pokeball he could reach, and looked at Ash.
"How do I make it come out?" He asked, looking at the ball in his hand.
"You toss it." Ash replied.
"Okay, then." Odd whispered. "Go!!" He tossed the pokeball into the air and it opened with a crack. A long line of white light ran to the floor, where it formed into a tiny, purple, rabbit-like creature with large ears and a tiny horn on its forehead.
"That is a Nidoran male." Professor Oak said, his hands clasped behind his back. "It's a poison type and eventually evolves into the very powerful Nidoking." The tiny Nidoran walked over and nibbled on the hem of Odd's pants. "This particular Nidoran is extremely curious for a newborn."
"I want it!!" Odd yelled, picking up the Pokemon. Nidoran reached up and pulled a piece of Odd's hair into its mouth and pulled. "I wanna name it!...what should I name it?"
"How about Gaidoku?" Lizzy suggested.
"Gaidoku?"
"Yeah." Kelsey smiled. "It means mischief in Japanese…and poison…and…something else that I can't remember right now…"
"…I like it…from now on, you'll be Gaidoku!!" Odd grinned.
"Nido!" Gaidoku cried.
"I'm next." Yumi walked up to the pile, picked up a pokeball, and tossed it into the air. It snapped open and a black ball with a purple, gassy aura around it appeared.
"That would be a Gastly. It's a ghost Pokemon." Gary said, pulling out a Pokemon treat from his pocket. He tossed it at Gastly, who swerved and caught the food in his mouth.
"Youma…this one's mine." Yumi pocketed the pokeball and went to stand by Odd. The 'first-Pokemon-choosing-ceremony' continued like this until everyone had chosen one. Aelita had ended up with a baby Happiny, affectionately named Kinchaku. Ulrich had chosen a Scyther named Kaigara. Jeremy had been lucky enough to end up with Kaze, a ruby-colored Dratini. Professor Oak handed a Pokedex and five empty pokeballs to each of the Lyoko Gang. He showed each of them how to work the Pokedex and how to catch Pokemon with the pokeballs. While the Gang spent a little 'bonding' time with their Pokemon and a Q&A with the Pokemon Gang, the two Angels went back outside to collect their Pokemon.
Kelsey, the munchkin Angel, had a rather impressive Pokemon collection for a seven-year-old. (I know the Pokemon age limit for a Pokemon license is ten, but just bear with me) Her collection consisted of her starter Pokemon, Leafeon, or Gurasu, a tiny Cherrim, named Sakura, and a Roserade, named Bara. Her wide array of grass-type powerhouses included a Torterra, a Venusaur, a Sceptile, a Meganium, and a Tropius, named Tairiku, Kusabana, Hachuu, Taiyou, and Kinomi, respectively.
Lizzy, the head Angel, collected all sorts of Pokemon, but specialized in ice. Other than her starter, Koori, all of her Pokemon had an exceptional set of powerhouse stats. Some of her most used Pokemon included a Dewgon, a Cloyster, a Lapras, a Walrein, and Abomasnow, a Mamoswine, and a Froslass, named Natsuin, Kaki, Kyouryuu, Seiuchi, Yuki, Manmosu, and Furosuto, respectively. Kelsey had even told the others that Lizzy and the Angels seemed to have some sort of special connection with the Legends of the Pokemon World.
Amy, the dark specialist of the Angel Gang, was the Angel's current project.
Kelsey and Lizzy, after battling their way back inside, clipped their pokeballs to their belts and walked into the room where the Gang was. All of them either had a bag clipped to their waists (the girls) or a backpack hanging from their shoulders (the guys).
"Come on! Let's get moving!" Kelsey grinned as she paraded outside, the Gang following her.
"You guys don't mind if we tag along, do you?" Ash asked.
"'course not! The more, the merrier!" Aelita smiled, holding Kinchaku close to her chest.
As the Gang, now twice as large as it was before, walked out of Pallet, they failed to notice the amber-haired figure in a black cloak watching them from the top of a tree.
