Pokestuck Chapter 2: Docs and Drones

"Welcome, welcome! Please, do come in. Have a seat, there's plenty of candy to go around. I'm sure you will find I'm an EXCELENT host." The man smiled, his pale complexion discerning. That didn't look like make up to you. He grinned, letting the three of you sit down and grab handfuls of candy before continuing. "As I'm SURE you know, I am Professor Doctor Scratch."

"Professor doctor? How is that even a thing?" Karkat asked, eyeing the briefcase on the other side of the room. You smiled, suppressing a laugh. As much as he tried to hide it, you could see the excitement in his eyes.

"Young man, it most certainly is "a thing". My credentials are on the wall."

"So, doc." You tip your chair back and swing your arm around Karkat's chair to keep balance. "I heard you got the manz all the way from Sinnoh."

"The 'manz'?" The word fell of his tongue like a rotten egg.

"Yea, bro. The manz, the pokemanz. Man, I thought you were an expert on this shit." You grin; pissing this dude off was way too much fun.

He cleared his throat, adjusting his white coat over his green dress shirt. "Yes, well, I got a pokemon from Sinnoh. The others can be found in many different regions."

"Others? Doc, I already got my lil' buddy. Hehehe, I mean, he seems to love these candies! Dontcha Gov?" Cackling she fed more sweets to the Deino.

"Yes, well, I'm giving you another as a challenge." Scratch smiled condescendingly.

"Will you just give them to us already? I'd like to, ya know, leave."

"I don't like you, Mr. Vantas."

Karkat laughed. "Really? I couldn't tell."

"But, I will trust you with your pokemon on one condition. Don't mess this up."

It's your turn to laugh. "Doc, Kar couldn't mess anything up! I'd trust him with creatin' a universe!" You ruffle his hair as he growls at you. "Now. Hand over the manz, brother."

Scratch glares at you again before walking over to the brief case. He pops it open, revealing three red and white balls set into a piece of foam. He brings it back over and hands one to each of you. Karkat growls over a smile, looking at his as if it's a priceless treasure.

"Aww, we don't even get to pick which one?" Terezi laughs, spinning hers on her finger.

"Who cares, let's go." Karkat stands, scooping up his bag.

"Wait." Scratch sneers, and you let your chair fall back to the ground. He hands each of you a shiny looking device which you assume is a pokedex. "Now you may go."

Karkat races outside, Terezi hot on his heels. You begin to stroll out after them, before you feel a hand on your shoulder. You freeze, muscles tensing. The hand is quickly withdrawn, and something slipped into your hand. "Hang on to this, won't you Gamzee?" You don't respond, and he takes your straight face for a yes. You feel his presence behind you leave, and you exit the sterile lab.

Blinded from the sunlight, the first thing you hear is Terezi complaining. "Really? Of all the pokemon to 'challenge' me with, he gives me an IMPOSIBLE ONE? All it knows is splash! Splash! It doesn't do anything!" Your eyes begin to adjust, and focus on the teal and red haired girl staring down at a flopping Magikarp. She kicks it and it glubs, smacking its big ugly lips together. "Stupid Magi-crap."

"Pika~"

"Hey there…" You look over to your best friend, snuggling a big yellow fuzzball. A zig zag tail pops up, along with two black tipped ears. He nuzzles his check against its red dotted ones, and it purrs. "Aren't you just the cutest-!" You blinked, looking at Karkat. His face was blackened, his hair on end.

And he had the biggest smile on his face.

"Pika~!"

He notices you, and stands, letting the Pikachu climb up on top of his head. "Look Gamzee! Isn't she just the sweetest?"

"She?"

"Yes she! I will call her… Karkitty."

The three of you go silent, saddened by the nickname. After a moment Karkat smiles again, scratching Karkitty behind the ears.

"So what did you get Gamz?"

"Oh," You look to the ball in your hand, tossing it to the ground. It pops open, settling on the ground. A purple silhouette appears, forming an odd outline. Terezi scrunches up her face, trying to figure out what's happening, and why Karkat is face palming.

It's a Mime Jr.

You grin, scooping the little (to you) Pokemon up, laughing as you honk its red clown nose. "Aw, hey there, Honks! Let's see what kinda damage you can do~"

"Wait what?" Karkat looked up from Karkitty warily.

"Well we got these little motherfuckers, might as well use 'em!"

"But…" He sighed, looking down at the Pikachu. "I don't want her to think that I'm just going to use her to fight…" Electricity flickered off the Pikachu, and it looked up at Karkat hopefully. "A-alright. I guess if she wants to,"

"Pika!" The little yellow creature scrunched up his face, running towards the mini clown right as you put it down. It stopped about an inch away, bristling with electricity again, looking back towards Karkat.

"Uh, I guess, um, thundersho-!"

"~!"

"Motherfuck!"

"Oh shit!"

"Hehehe!"

When the blinding flash cleared, the Mime Jr. tottered dazedly in the center of what looked like meteor impact. The three kids looked at the electric pokemon grooming itself a few feet away. It strutted over to yours, and knocked it over with its paw. You were the first to break the stillness, scooping up Honks and replacing him back into his ball. "Um, well-"

"I am SO sorry!"

"Wha-?"

"I didn't mean for her to do that, and then Honks and then the flash! It's all my fault, I'm sorry and-"

"UNAUTHORIZED BATTLE! YOU DID NOT OBEY! UNAUTHORIZED!"

"What in the fuck?"

Three figures appeared out of the tress, clad in a black and magenta uniform. They flashed badges looking like forks and stood in a line. The one who was yelling before stepped up, her short curly hair dyed more colors than even you thought possible. She held her hand out, requesting the blank white card the professor had slipped into your hand.

"Your C.R.O.C. cards please!"

"Our what?"

"Your Condense Reigonal Obedience Check cards!"

"Officer Maybel," the other girl spoke up, pushing her triangular black bangs out of her eyes. "They obviously just got their pokemon, and only one has the card-"

"How come you're the only one with a card?" The final one inquired, slicking back his blonde hair with one hand, straightening his vest with another.

"Who the fuck are you guys?" Karkat snapped, letting Karkitty up onto his shoulder.

"Drones. Maplyn, you explain it better." The one named Maybel stepped back, the girl with the black hair stepping forward.

"Drones are followers of Her Imperial Condescension, making sure all people…"

"OBEY."

They spoke in unison, almost robotically. The blonde one handed Karkat and Terezi the same blank cards, and dropped a handbook into each of your hands. "This book outlines battle guidelines. Next time you have an unscripted battle, you will have your pokemon and any badges or ribbons you may have earned stripped from your person.

"Next time you don't obey," she warned, "You're all in real big trouble."
