Dsclaimer: I do not own Pokémon, the characters from the show, or the Pokémon. Just Alexis!

The Poké Life Is Not For Me!

Part Two: A Quick Change in Attitude

You know when people have their favorite characters and they write a story about how they fall in love with them? And the writer is the OC person that is the person the original character? I'm thankful I don't like anyone in that way here.

Where am I? Currently, Pallet Town. Oh yes, I'm in the world where Pokémon are real. And I just so happen to be at the mall shopping with Shigeru, Satoshi, Pikachu, and Hikari. If this sounds like a good and very cool thing, it's not. And I'm not the only one here that is thinking this.

After a small non vocal fight with Shigeru, Yukinari and Satoshi's mother thought it would be a good idea to take me shopping after Shigeru's grandfather said I could be staying with them. Satoshi and Pikachu had no objections.

Dammit.

I didn't mind the fact that I got to go shopping, but when Yukinari said that Shigeru had to go, I had to put my foot down, so did he. We both begged Prof. Ookido to NOT let him go. As you can tell, he came whether we liked it or not. But, I was able to convince them to let Hikari come and not Kasumi.

"Alex! What do you think about this?!"

I was beginning to regret asking that. All the guys were doing were sitting in chairs talking while Hikari was helping me shop for cloths. Okay, trying to help me shop for cloths. She held up a dress. No, not just any dress, a pink dress. I was not going to wear it. I was better off looking somewhat similar to what Shigeru originally looked to some degree. This purple short sleeve somewhat baggy shirt, was nice. Loved the gloves, and the belts that made an X on the upper part of my left arm the covered my fire emblem. The kinda big white shorts that went to the top of my knees were alright. And I liked my boots that also went up to my knees.

"No."

"Why?" She said, with disappointment and agitation in her voice. I just looked at her plainly and the guys just so happen to glance over.

"I don't want to sound mean, nor am I trying to, but I don't wear dress -let alone pink." I couldn't help but cross my arms and tell her flatly. She got the message, but didn't sop trying to shop with me. I glanced back at the guys and gave them a look that said 'What?' in an innocent way… Well, to Satoshi anyways. Shigeru, I could give much different look.

After about a half hour of looking, Hikari found some cloths and as did I. She shoved me in the dressing room before I could even ask her to let me see what she got me. She even grabbed my cloths that I picked out.

"Why can't I change into the cloths I found?"

"'Cause I want you to try on the cloths I found first!" She said with a cheery tone. I bet she was smiling on the other side of the door too. She through a shirt and pants over the door and I just rolled my eyes. I groaned a little and shook my head a little. I put on the cloths she tossed me and I walked out and looked at myself in the mirror. When I practically told her that I didn't like girly things, she got the point. I had a red top that went around my neck that was sewed inside of a black tube top. Not to mention a pair of dark faded jeans with a very nice belt. My gloves and boots went great with it. Hikari knew her fashion. And you thought Kasumi had good taste in fashion for someone who's a shop-a-holic. "Well?! What do you think?! Did I do a good job or what?!"

I shook my head in agreement. Pikachu suddenly appeared on my shoulder, smiling at me in the mirror.

"You like Pikachu?" I asked him with a small chuckle.

"Pika!" He replied joyfully. I smiled at it again.

After looking at and trying on all the cloths and getting complimented by Hikari, Pikachu, and even Satoshi, we went to the register and paid for everything. I couldn't help but to keep glancing over my shoulder when I felt a pair of eyes were looking at me. Every time I did, it was the same guy, always standing behind me. I didn't recognize him in any way. It's not like I hadn't changed the way everything was going on in the Poké world. But this, this was a kind of feeling you wouldn't ever expect to find if you were here. The kind where you should always be on your guard and that it wasn't good at all.

We walked out of the store and began driving home. Who would have thought time would fly by so fast? It was already getting dark in Pallet and Hikari, Satoshi, and Pikachu were asleep in the back. That meant, I was stuck in the passenger seat with Shigeru. Wonderful.

I sat there looking out the window; legs and arms crossed, and scooted up close to the door. It's not that I didn't want to be anywhere near him-oh wait that is why I'm up close and almost personal with the passenger door! He bugged me so much! He may have not said a word since I got here and had our stare down at his and his grandpa's house. We dropped the two trainers and Pikachu off at Satoshi's house.

Notice I did not say: three people. I didn't mention that Shigeru's granddad said (or more like, ordered) me to stay at there house. Why I don't know, but I wasn't willing to ask questions.

As we drove off, I had to shift a bit into a little bit of a better position, still as far away from him as possible. That shirt was so long and baggy, it was causing me to feel like it was about to slip off. At the cause of my movement, he looked over. I looked over at him when I felt his eyes on me. He sighed heavily and glanced back and forth at me and the road.

"What?" I asked.

"Just because I look at you for a second and sigh, doesn't mean-"

"Bull crap Gary, you snapped at me earlier and for why I don't know, only makes me assume you have an issue with me-what that issue is bewilders me!" I had to snap at him a little. It had been irritating me all day! Could ya blame me?! Okay, maybe you could, but still!

"Well, Alexis, you come out of no where and fall on Ash's friend Tracey and when our battle was almost over! And you had perfect timing for that by the way…!"

"It's not like I meant to I-! Wait, you complimented me?" This did indeed shocked me.

He just looked over at me and sighed. Shigeru shook his head and mumbled something under his breath. And leaned on the edge of the door, his head on his palm.

"What was that?" Now I was being a smart ass. I leaned in to hear jus what he was trying to say to me.

"I said, in a way yes, and try finding a better position to sit in if your gonna be pissy at me…"

"Not like we got long to get there by car, Gary." I said crossing my arms across my chest again and leaning back. I then started to think about home.

Home...

Even though it's been almost one day here, it seems almost like a distant memory. Why is that? I don't know. But I don't think that question can help me get out of here. I can't help but think about before a wave of family invaded my sunny South Carolina home that sits off the dock of a lake. I couldn't hold in a laugh really.

"What's so funny?" Shigeru questioned defensively glancing at me again.

"I couldn't help but think about home. My older brother, Mikey, and step-brothers, Kyle and Matt; we use to take my race cars' trailer, when I raced, down to the beach when we were home." I said laughing a little.

"You raced cars?-"

"-Professionally.-"

"-Then what's funny about that?" He asked scooting up to the steering wheel. I have seemed to catch his attention.

"If I could show you the pictures and videos we took, you'd know why." I said, smiling as I leaned in and relaxed on my knees. Shigeru just looked at me and I just flash a glimpse at him. "I'd play my acoustic and Matt and Mikey would entertain us by dancing with each other around a fire on the beach the first night were there. It was a riot. Has been for a long time..."

The car came to a stop when we got to the Ookido home. Shigeru shut off the engine and turned a little to me. I tried to open the door, but he wouldn't unlock it.

"Alexis, before you get out, I have one more question to ask…" He got out of the car and locked his door. How rude is that! He walked over to my side of the car and gestured me to roll down the hand cranked window.

"Have you asked me this already?"

"Yes, I have-"

"-Fine, as long as you don't ask it again and you don't ask for your ass to be kicked."

Shigeru just looked at me as if I were joking about that. How wrong he was… But he went back to serious look to me.

"Where are you really from?" This time, he asked nicely. This was a shocker. I looked down at my hands and then back at him.

"You really want to know?" He shook his head and replied with a 'duh' as he placed his arms on the car door. "It's hard to believe, even for me, but I'm not from here." He shook his head as if I answered his question and he stepped back and was about to turn away- "Shigeru Ookido, you unlock this door! I answered your question!"

"Really?-"

"-As best I could without seeming crazy, yes!" He conjured a very small smile that I just barely caught and unlocked the door, holding it open for me. "Jerk…"

"I opened the door for you and you call me a 'jerk'?" He said, acting as if he was all that appalled. "Not to mention your staying at my house, I can kick you out-"

"-And your grandfather can do the same with you Shigeru."

"…"

Hah! That shut him up. He just turned and walked away.

I opened the trunk and got my bags out and walked into the house. Shigeru was already inside sitting in the living room, flipping through the channels of the TV. He looked up and back at the TV. "Gramps wants to see you. He's in the lab." He said starting to stand.

"No, I know whereto go, no worries." I told him before he stood completely. He just looked at me oddly again. He plopped back down putting his feet and legs on the couch and crossed his arms. His eyes never left me. Another suspicious stare…Great.

"And how is it you know where it is?"

I leaned down pacing my hands on the arm of the couch at his feet and looked right back at him. "That question you asked me, has a lot to do with this." He opened his mouth to say something, but before he said a word, I told him the answer to his unspoken question. "Soo, I know where your grandpa's lab is." And with that said, I walked off, leaving the researcher to do his own mental research.

--

I was able to find my way to Yukinari's lab from the inside of the house. I opened the door and the lights were on. Cautiously, I stepped in.

"Prof. Oak?"

No answer.

"Yukinari?"

Still no answer.

"Sammy?"

Nothing. Maybe he left into the house after Shigeru told me he was supposedly in here? I turn around and-

-Bang!-

"EEEP!!"

I finally found Prof. Ookido.

"Oh, my, I'm sorry about that Alexis. I see Gary should you how to get here." He said rubbing the back of his neck.

"Actually, I knew how to get here. Shigeru didn't show me." I told him the truth. After the thought of my brothers, I suddenly felt home sick.

"Really? I guess you're good at finding your way around places I see. I wanted to ask you some questions, nothing what my grandson asked earlier, I assure you. And don't worry, I wont experiment on you, I wouldn't dream of such a thing!" He said, a little too cheery. But all the while, knowing him from the anime, he meant what he was saying and would stick to it.

I sat down in a chair and made myself a little at home since I was staying here for the night. There were Pokémon everywhere! This guy was totally into what he was doing, and the lab was much bigger then you would think in the show. It wasn't creepy in any way, or crowded. It was nice, very clean, and very much spacious.

Prof. Ookido grabbed a pencil and note pad as he sat in a chair that was almost across from me. He began to jot down some things as I sat there patiently, tapping my fingers on my arm. My shirt was already irritating me, it was baggy! I kept thinking it was going to fall off anytime now. But when Yukinari asked me his first question, it snapped me out of my thoughts.

"Wha?"

"I asked, What is your birth date?"

"Oh, May 9th, 1992"

"Where were you born?"

Ooh, should answer this one? He'll think I'm nuts!

No shit girly, you shouldn't! You're trying to get out of this world! Not like it would matter anyways where you're really from!

"I wasn't born in this world…"

And there I said it. He stopped and looked at me differently. I shifted in my chair uncomfortable of the look I was getting.

"You were born… In a different world?" I nodded "What kind?"

He seemed interested in this.

"Where I'm from, Pokémon don't exist." And from that, we had a very serious talk and plenty of questions that I answered truthfully. I was fine the first pert of the day, but not knowing how far away from home I was, or if I was even able to get home, worried me and made home sick. I've never felt this home sick other then from when I was in grade school. For once, I missed being home.

"Well," Yukinari stated as he began to rise from his seat and walk towards the door into the house. "From what you've told me, you seem to be a very long way from where you're originally from. I'm sure everyone wou-"

"No!" I said scooting to the very edge of my seat and raising my hand at him. He stopped and looked at me surprised. "Please don't tell anyone. Until we find a way for me to get home, don't tell them." I pleaded, letting my hand and head drop. He placed his hand on my shoulder and I looked up. He smiled at me and nodded.

"Very well then, but then you can tell them when you would like to." He reminded me of my grandpa. A lot about my grandpa. "But, until then, you'll be staying here. So get a little use to being here for a while. I guarantee you; you won't be leaving here very soon."

I smiled a little and nodded. "Thanks." I got up from my chair and opened the door from the lab to the house.

-BAM!-

Shigeru fell to the floor. He was standing outside of the door standing listening to our conversation I bet. He got up on his elbows and rubbed the back of his neck.

"And you call Satoshi a loser…" With that, he quickly looked up and gave me a glare, while I just smirked at him, and behind me, his grandfather trying to stifle a chuckle.

--First Persons' P.O.V.--

Gary Oak heard the door shut.

Alexis found the lab… He thought. Hr got up off the couch and went over to the door. Black mail, its how he got his way. He put his ear on the door as carefully as he could. He heard a bang and-

"EEEP!!"

Gary pulled his ear away from the door and rubbed at it. And he thought she was soft spoken…?! After the big bang and Alexis's freak out, he put his ear back on the door. He couldn't hear anything at first, but when they finally started talking, he listened carefully.

"Well," he heard his gramps say as he heard him stand and begin to walk to the door after their conversation, "From what you've told me, you seem to be a very long way from where you're originally from. I'm sure everyone wou-" Gary jumped from the door a little until…

"No!" Gary froze. He could hear her much clearer this time. Did she sound… Scared? Worried maybe? "Please don't tell anyone. Until we find a way for me to get home, don't tell them." Gary moved from the door and leaned on it quietly.

What now?

Tell Ash and leave it at that?

No, he'll blab it out to someone and end up telling her I told him. Then she'll find out I eaves dro-

He fell to the ground hard and bumped his head a little. Gary got on his elbows and began to rub his head and neck.

"And you call Satoshi a loser…" Gary looked up at Alexis who was smirking at him. He glared at her from that remark.

Is gramps laughing at me?!

--Normal P.O.V.--

When Shigeru got up off his sore ass, Yukinari told him to show me to an available room they had upstairs. He mumbled under his breath and grabbed my bags of new cloths as we walked away. You couldn't wipe the smirk off my face with acid if you tried! I was so pleased with agitating the twenty year old.

We went up the stairs and he led me to a room. He turned around and was starting to walk back down the stairs; he stopped when he stepped on the third step. "You know how to cook, right?" He asked as he turned around a little bit. I nodded. "Well if you get hungry in the middle of the night have at the kitchen." With that, he shoved his hands in his pockets and turned back around to somewhat jog down the stairs. I looked at him in confusion. I opened the door and stepped into my accommodations that the Oaks' let me have for the night.

I walked blindly into the room and turned on a lamp. It was a quaint little room. A queen mattress bed with tan sheets and what looked like fluffy pillows. I decided to… Test that theory of mine. I jumped on the bed and plopped my head on one of the pillows. Oh yes, very fluffy, soft, and cuddly feather pillows. I snuggled my face into the pillow and took a deep breath in and heavily sighed it out. I turned around to look at the digital clock.

10:52 PM. I got up and dug into my bag to find some pajama's that Hikari helped me buy. But to add to my luck as it is; the bag was still down stairs. As I went down the stairs I couldn't help but hear Yukinari and Shigeru talking… About me. Shigeru found out, so I listened, and decided to be patient when it came to going home. Home was here for now, whether I liked it or not.

And that was a hard pill to swallow.

Authore's Note: Awsome! Second one is up! This time, I will try and get the third chapter up today, if not... Sometime this week... .;
