Notes: Pokemon does not belong to me. Anyway, Ackers belongs to me. So do Rhybaby the glitchy Raichu, Fearful the cowardly Fearow, Vinesgalor the neglected Venasaur, that Gengar I forgot the nickname of and SAILOR the Dewgong who needs a better name that I can't change because someone won't let me. Thanks to Crazyloon589 for a review. THIS IS FOR YOU!
Episode Two: Transition
When we left our characters, a young Pokemon 'Mastah' had captured a Mewtwo and named it Ackers. Well, now we've met the star of this random story. Anyway, Ackers the Mewtwo must adjust to the changes of being a tamed Pokemon. Such as being confined to a Pokeball. Well, let's look at this odd character.
Deep inside the database of Bill's Pokemon Storage system, we find our friend Ackers looking at his surroundings. He noted that there were funny green numbers and a Chansey nearby. Also, there were other Pokemon, such as Pikachus, a Hitmonchan, and… a Zapdos? Wow. I forgot I had a Zapdos. Ah, well. Anyway, Ackers freaked out. Who wouldn't?
"EEP!" Ackers cried at the sight. The Zapdos flew up to him and looked at him. It grinned, apparently pleased, and said, in Pokemon-ish, "Hiya!"
Now, for all purposes, I will translate EVERYTHING. Okay? Okay.
"Err… hi?" Ackers replied to the Zapdos in front of him. "Where am I? And what happened to the cave minions!"
The Hitmonchan walked up to him and said, "You're in a PC. And I don't know what happened to the mave cannons." A Pikachu poked him and said, "He said CAVE MINIONS."
Ackers blinked and said, "I miss my cave! I WAS THE RULER OF A CAVE!"
The Chansey skipped over to him and said, "Well, you got captured. I don't think you're going back to your cave and your cave minions any time soon."
Ackers stared at it and said, slowly, "… captured?" The Chansey nodded. Ackers grew VERY angry at hearing this. "I am NOT someone's SLAVE! I am my own person! I refuse to take orders! I WILL NOT BE SILENCED, DAMMIT!"
Just as Ackers was REALLY getting into his rant, a Pokeball with a blue top and a teal bottom flew up to him and he got stuck in it. The Pokeball flew away. Just to let you know, that was the Master Ball. Yeah.
---OUTSIDE OF THE PC…---
Our young Pokemon 'Mastah' held the Master Ball in her hand and tossed it up. She was in the Pokemon Center in Cerulean City. She skipped off, happily holding her new Pokemon's home.
---INSIDE THE POKEBALL UNIVERSE (yes, there IS one of those.)…---
"AAAAIIIIIYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Ackers screamed as he fell headfirst towards what seemed like nothingness. "This is worse than that time I fell down a boulder pit!" Seeing as how Ackers was too scared to use his almighty Mewtwo-ee powers, he landed flat on his face on a totally black floor. He quickly got up and brushed himself off, looking around. He noted that there was nothing but black surrounding him.
"Weird…" he says. He floats off in a random direction. As he floats, he comes across a big sleeping bird. It was brown and had a long beak. Guess what it is? If you guessed a Fearow, you get KUDOS! Yay, Kudos! Anyway, Ackers pokes the Fearow. It wakes up.
Now, I'm still translating, mind you.
"Who poked me…?" asked the groggy Fearow. It looks around and sees Ackers standing there, innocently. "Why did you poke me? I was trying to sleep." the Fearow asks.
"Um…" Ackers starts. But the Fearow cuts him off.
"I heard we were getting a new member to the team. Would that be you?"
"… what team?" Ackers asked, obviously clueless.
"The Master Team. What other teams are there?"
"… I guess I'm that new person… but…" Again, Ackers is cut off.
"Oh, good! A few pointers? Don't get on Rhybaby's bad side. And do what you're told to do! That's all I gotta say. By the way, my name's Fearful. I'm pretty much a coward at heart, really."
After hearing Fearful the Fearow ((what can I say? I was 10 then!)) say 'do what you're told to do', Ackers kinda flipped out. "You mean you LET someone boss you around? Don't you have a say in your life?"
"Actually, yeah. I have no say in a few of the things I do. But we get free food! Yay!" And then Fearful fell asleep. Ackers grumbled and went on.
After a while, Ackers came across a big green thing trying to dance. It had red eyes and had a tree growing out of its back. Guess what it is? If you guessed Venasaur, you get a RUSTY BUCKET OF NAILS! 'Cause EVERYTHING tastes better with tetanus! Yay, tetanus!
Anyway, the thing turned to Ackers and said, "Hey. Wanna dance?" Ackers blinked. "I guess not."
"Where am I? In a PC?" Ackers asked, once more clueless.
"Oh, no, you're in the Pokeball Universe. PCs are just plain creepy."
"Tell me about it…" Ackers muttered. "Why am I here?"
"I guess you're a candidate for the Master Team. I'm Vinesgalor. What's your name?"
Ackers growled. "My name is… is… um…" What IS my name, anyway? Ackers thought. "I don't know."
"Well, I'd call you Bob if I were the trainer. But I'm not. I've seen some pretty weird things go through here, from Chacha the Pikachu to Canada the Rattata. Mind if I show you around?" Ackers shook his head, obviously intrigued by the weirdness.
So, off they went. They came to a white creature that had a horn on its head. It was doing back flips. Guess what it is? If you guessed Dewgong, you get a COPY OF POKEMON RED! Yay, old games!
Anyway, Vinesgalor went up to the Dewgong and said, "Hey, Sailor."
Sailor, which was the Dewgong's name, looked at Vinesgalor. "Hey, Vines." He looked over Vinesgalor's shoulder and saw Ackers, looking puzzled. "Who's the kitty?"
Vinesgalor gestured with his head to make Ackers understand that he should come over. Which he did. "This is our new teammate. He doesn't know his name, yet. I'm gonna call him Bob. Is that okay?"
Ackers glared at Vinesgalor and his eyes started glowing purple. "No, it's not." Vinesgalor was engulfed by a purple light and lifted into the air.
"EEP!" Vinesgalor screamed. He was doing back flips in the air like Sailor was earlier. "Stop, please! THIS HURTS!"
Just as Ackers was about to let him down, he got tackled by something. It was purple and had a BIG smile plastered on its face. Guess what it is? If you guessed a Gastly, you get POKEMON FIRE RED! Boo, good games turned BAD! If you guessed a Gengar, you get a COOKIE! Yay, cookie!
Anyway, the Gengar said in plain English, "No friendly fire. It's rule number uno." Ackers just looked at the Gengar. He tried shoving the ghost off of him, but his paws went right through him.
"Get off of me!" Ackers cried. He tried pushing the Gengar off of him again, but that failed. "Please?" The Gengar stood and brushed itself off. Ackers floated up and his tail twitched.
"… right, I'll learn to stay out of your way…" Vinesgalor and Sailor said together. They backed away, leaving the psychic cat and the ghost together.
"I'm Gengar, by the way. We all forgot my name, including me. What's your name?" Gengar asked.
"……… I don't know." Ackers replied.
"Any idea what your species name is? 'Cause I've been ALL over this country and I haven't seen ANY Pokemon like you."
"……………… no."
"Ah. Clueless, aren't you?" Ackers nodded. "It's okay. C'mon. I take it you've met Fearful, right?" Another nod. "And I know you've met Vines and Sailor and me. So we just have to meet Rhybaby." And so Gengar headed off in the direction he came from. Ackers followed slowly.
Eventually they came to an orange mouse with yellow cheeks and a REALLY long tail. Guess what it is? If you guessed Pikachu, you get a CONCUSSION! You know why? I would have hit you with the squeaky hammer of doom so hard it would have given you one! It's a Raichu, people.
So, Gengar walks up to Rhybaby, who was happily munching on a cookie. "Hey, Rai."
"Hey, Gen." Rhybaby replied. His voice was rough, like most Raichus. "Who's the cat?"
"I dunno." Gengar says, shrugging. "He doesn't know his name."
"Sounds like someone I know." They both burst out laughing. But not Ackers. He was just staring at Rhybaby, remembering the Cave Minions.
---FLASHBACK!---
Ackers was meditating on his little plateau in the Cerulean Cave. He was floating a few inches off of the ground and his eyes glowed behind his eyelids. He was just getting into the REALLY deep part of his daily meditation—don't ask how they know when it's night or day in a cave—when he heard a familiar noise. It was the sound of some water Pokemon landing on the shore of the plateau ((it is surrounded by water, right?)) with another Pokemon on its back. So, Ackers opened his eyes and got into a standing position. He waited for something to happen for about 10 minutes.
Ackers was just about to go back to meditating when he saw one of the Cave Minions, a Raichu, walk up to him. It was smiling and holding a piece of food for Ackers. You see, Ackers is, like, TOTALLY in charge of Cerulean Cave. And this was one of his most faithful followers.
I'm still translating!
"I brought food!" The Raichu said, happily. It skipped up to Ackers and handed him the food.
Ackers smiled and said, "Thank you. Wanna join me for food?" ((they AREN'T the most civilized Pokemon))
The Raichu squealed and nodded, taking a seat next to its favorite psychic kitty. They both ate the food and chatted and such.
---END FLASHBACK!---
"Yoo-hoo! Mr. Kitty!" Gengar was jumping up and down in front of Ackers, trying to get his attention. Eventually Ackers snapped out of his reverie. He looked at Gengar. "You okay?"
"Yeah, I-I'm fine." Ackers replied, slightly shaken.
Rhybaby looked up at him and said, "Well, you gotta find your place in our hierarchy. I'm usually at the top. I've been around less than Vines has, but I'm the favorite." Rhybaby explained. "Did he tell you about Chacha?" Ackers nodded. "I was Chacha."
There was silence. For about 20 minutes. Then Ackers asked a startling question: "When can I go home?"
Gengar and Rhybaby looked at him like he was crazy. Then they broke out laughing. If there were a synchronized laughing competition, those two would have won. Then, Ackers got ANGRY. "Quit laughing! I'm serious!"
Gengar and Rhybaby finally stopped laughing. At the same time, too! Gengar walked up to Ackers and put his hand on Ackers' arm. "Dude, I came from Pokemon Tower. I was a Haunter then. I got caught. I haven't seen the Tower, never mind the town it's IN, in three years."
Rhybaby nodded. "I came from Viridian Forest. I once was in there after my capture. No one recognized me. I'm NOT going back. And I doubt you will, too."
Ackers was shocked to hear this. I… I'm not… going back? Why? Who says I can't? What's stopping me from leaving here right now and going home to my plateau? Why did this happen to me? Ackers had too many questions to ask. But then a Pokeball snatched Rhybaby and took him away. A little bit later, and much more thinking on the part of Ackers, Rhybaby came back. Then, an even shorter time later, the Pokeball came back and took away Ackers, screaming the whole time.
