Chapter 2: In the Pokémon Center
Chapter Start
"These strangers seem like they fainted on the spot." Red said to the nurse.
"They will be just fine." The nurse assured Red.
"Thanks Ma'am." Red said, leaving the center as soon as possible.
"I just can't understand how some of them look like us." Pearl said. "Heck, the one who looks like me wears the same clothes I am wearing right now." Pearl tugged at his clothing.
"None of us will know." Green shook his head as he said this. "The one who looks like me looks like a professor, the way the coat makes him look like..."
"I will be pleased if you allow me to talk to the one who looks like me and wears the same clothing as I am." Platina said with a formal tone.
"There is no need to be formal to us, Platina. How many times do we have to tell you that?" Blue sighed.
"We should probably go to Grandpa now, guys." Green said. Everyone agreed, though Pearl reluctantly did. They headed to the Battle Tower, which was the decided meeting place. They took the elevator up to the meeting room. When everyone was in the meeting room (They can't all fit in one go), where the Professors were patiently waiting, they began the discussion.
"We currently have new species of Pokémon showing up out of nowhere." Prof. Oak stated. "These new species keep showing up out of nowhere, and soon we may be able to recognize them. It is your job to figure out what and who they are." Oak said while referring to the Dex holders. We already got some information, and scientists are trying to figure out what to call them." Professor Oak pointed at a picture of a little being with a two leaves attached to its head. "This little creature seems to be able to talk human language. It said that it is called Tanemon. We eventually considered this as its name."
"Speaking of which, professor, we found some of these 'new species' already." Gold blurted out.
"Where are they then?" The Kanto-Johto Pokémon Association President asked, with excitement in his tone.
"We brought them to the Pokémon Center. We found them unconscious." Gold replied. Then suddenly the Gold's Pokégear rang. Gold instantly answered, and discovered that some of the people they have found have regained consciousness.
Prof. Birch went with the Dex Holders to the Pokémon Center. There they found the Brock look-alike flirting with the nurse. They watched amusingly until a Croagunk showed up out of one of the Brock look-alike's Poké balls and hit his trainer with a Poison Jab and dragged him away from the scene. Then the nurse saw them at once and told them they may enter. The first thing they saw was the kid with brown hair, wearing blue hooded shirt, grey pants, yellow armbands, and has a weird device hanging around his neck. He was standing near a red dinosaur.
The boy saw them and said "Hi."
"Hi. Who are you? Ruby asked.
"Takato Matsuki" The boy answered.
"Well, Takato, is that Pokémon yours?" Ruby pointed at the red dinosaur.
"What's a Pokémon?" Takato asked, with confusion in his voice.
"What? You don't know what a Pokémon is and you are standing near that Pokémon and looking at him worriedly?" Gold asked.
"I really have no idea who you are and what you are talking about." Takato said.
He looked towards a bed which contained a boy who was wearing an orange vest, orange T-shirt, dark brown pants, and white armbands. The one next to his bed suddenly stirred. This one is wearing faded blue-green t-shirt and yellowish-brown pants. He sat up and looked around. Seeing Takato seemed to brighten up his mood. He began to wear the gloves found on his bedside table and attached some metal items on his right arm and went straight to Takato.
"How are you Takato?" The boy asked.
"Well, I'm ok, Ryo. Do you know what a Pokémon is?" Takato replied.
"No. Why do you ask? Ryo asked.
"These guys made my head hurt because they keep saying 'How come you don't know what a Pokémon is?' I already told them that I have no idea what they're talking about" Takato pointed towards the Dex Holders, or more specifically, Gold.
"WHAT? WE BROUGHT YOU HERE TO THIS POKÉMON CENTER AND NOW THIS IS HOW YOU THANK US! YOU UNGRATEFUL LITTLE –"
Gold was berating Takato when a pillow hit his face. Silver looked at who hit Gold and saw a girl about Takato's age looking at Gold with a piercing glare. The girl was wearing a yellow collared, light blue and white shirt with a blue heart printed in front. She was also wearing red armbands, wearing jeans with a brown belt holding it in place. Attached to her belt was a device like what Takato had around his neck, except with a blue rim around the screen instead of yellow. A pack of cards was also attached to her belt.
"Rika, what did you do that for?" Takato asked.
"Well, for your information, Gogglehead, his voice woke up everyone in this room." Rika said in her bossy tone. Sure enough, everyone woke up because of Gold's voice. Gold seems to not care and opened his mouth to berate Takato again, but never was able to say a word for Crystal instantly slapped him on the face along with Pearl and told him to shut up.
The Pearl look-alike instantly jolted at the sight of Pearl. A boy with very long, brown, and bushy hair looked at the Dex holders with one eyebrow raised. A boy with messy hair and grey goggles, a blue vest over a long-sleeved blue shirt with yellow and white stripes, looked briefly towards them, and looked towards a boy who was wearing grey polo and pants. A girl with purple hair wearing a blue bandanna, a peach shirt over her red dress and a pair of glasses was staring at them with a Crystal-look on her face. A girl with pink and white shirt, pink arm-long gloves, and yellow pants was staring at the scene mildly. The eldest among them, wearing blue coat over a white polo, was simply looking at them and seemed ready to stand up the next time a fight ensued. The rest are all staring or rubbing their eyes. The grey goggle-kid started standing up and walking towards a blue humanoid dragon that has a yellow V on his head.
"What exactly is a Pokémon?" Ryo asked clearly and audibly. A kid with a vest and shirt like Dia's, the Platina look-alike, the Misty look-alike, the Sapphire look-alike, the Brock look-alike, the Pearl look-alike, and the Green look-alike looked at Ryo with disbelief etched on their faces. The others mildly looked at the Dex Holders with curiosity on their faces.
"Well…" Ryo started. "This is a parallel world, isn't it? So, there must be differences between our world and your world, so let's hear them."
"That explains a lot." snorted Gold. "If you are from a parallel world, then how did you get here?"
"Beam of light." Everyone answered. Then everyone looked at each other in disbelief.
"Everyone got here through beams of light, eh. Were those data streams?" Ryo asked.
"No." Takato answered. "The beam that took us is not pink and I never heard of a data stream that sends you to a parallel universe."
"So you saw that beam of light right before it engulfed us, eh, Gogglehead." Takato, Davis, and Gold cringed. Davis and Gold cringed because of they themselves were wearing goggles. Takato cringed because he was so going to be beaten up.
"Y-yes." Takato's fear rose.
"You are so going to pay for that, Gogglehead." Rika chased Takato while Takato runs for his life. Everyone watched amusingly until the red dinosaur woke up and said, "Takatomon, I am hungry."
"Guilmon, how many times do I have to tell you, I am not a 'Mon'!" Takato yelled while still sprinting around the room at top speed."
"But I am hungry!" Guilmon clawed his stomach.
"Guilmon, you – are – always – hungry!" A long-eared dog with green stripes yelled as he rubbed his eyes.
"Terriermon!" The boy in the orange vest said.
"What is it, Henry?" Terriermon replied.
"What is going on here?" The nurse entered and saw the little ruckus happening.
"Can you give me something to eat?" Guilmon told the nurse.
"He can talk?" The nurse stammered.
"Yes, I can talk. Now can you give me something to eat?" Guilmon again asked.
"Ok, but you have to wait. I will have to prepare your meal." The nurse smiled at Guilmon's innocent voice.
"Awww… Humans always have to wait for everything!" Guilmon cried.
"You always have to EAT everything." Takato, Rika, Henry, and Terriermon said together.
"So what's your point?" Guilmon asked innocently. Everyone grinned because of the innocence of Guilmon's voice except the yellow biped fox standing near Rika's bed, and the big piece of machine in the corner next to a boy with a green visor (No mouth).
"Now, everyone, get in the beds." The nurse said sternly.
"Do WE have to?" Gold asked.
"If you are staying here, do please be quiet." And then she marched out of the door.
"Well, where were we?" Gold asked.
"You are supposed to introduce yourselves first. My name's Cody" The kid wearing a violet shirt, and light brown pants boy said. The Dex holders instantly told their names, except Platina who introduced herself as Lady Berlitz. She only told her first name to the Dex holders, the Professors, and anyone she thinks worthy.
"Lady Berlitz, eh. Is 'Lady' your first name or your title? Anyway I'm Davis." The grey-goggled boy said.
"Title." Platina answered.
"What about 'Berlitz'? My name's Ken." The boy wearing grey polo and pants said.
"Last name." Platina answered again.
"Keeping your first name a secret? My name's Joe" The boy in the professional suit asked.
"Yes." Platina answered.
"We won't bother. The name's Jeri." A girl in a light yellow and green blouse said with a smile.
"Thank you." Platina said.
"Sheesh, let other people introduce themselves, guys. Well I'm Tai." The boy with the longest and bushiest hair among them said.
"How come some of you look like us? The name's Barry." The Pearl look-alike said.
"We also want to know about that." Pearl said.
"Everyone we are in a parallel world, remember?" Ryo shook his head. "There must be some people who like you in another world."
"Then how come you don't know about Pokémon? My name's Ash." The capped boy with the same vest as Dia had.
"Where we come from there are Digimon, not Pokémon." The biped fox answered.
"What Pokémon?" A small Digimon with a small heart on his stomach and a gold collar asked. The introductions were continued at this point. Kenta made sure to remind everyone of MarineAngemon's question. The ones who know about Pokémon told the Digidestined and the Tamers about them. The problem about this is that the ones who explained kept talking about Pokémon Battles (Ash, Barry, Gold and etc.)
"So, you throw a ball at those 'Pokémon' and they become yours?" Cody said. His eyes look too serious for his age. "Everyone in this place that does that is like a Digimon Emperor because of the way you talk you seem to enjoy making Pokémon fight." The ones who have talked about Pokémon Battles cringed at this statement. Ken cringed at the words 'Digimon Emperor'.
"Now, now, we don't all want to battle." Prof. Birch said while glaring at the ones who talked. "Some of us join Pokémon Contest where they compete for ribbons." Prof. Birch began.
"So you use Pokémon for personal gain? You use them to get victories, trophies, honors? People who do that also make me think they're untrustworthy." Cody said. Now everyone who has Pokémon cringed.
"Some of us work on Pokémon breeding and researching them. This place we are in is a place where Pokémon are treated and cared for." Prof. Birch now starting to be tensed at the glare Cody gave them.
"Cody, Moumantai." Terriermon weakly said.
"What does Moumantai mean?" Cody asked.
"Take it easy, don't worry, not a problem, and relax." Terriermon rambled.
"Ok." Cody said. "But I still don't trust your views. You sound like you treat Pokémon like slaves. I do like the idea of a hospital for Pokémon but I don't see the reason to battle with them. People should fight evil, not each other."
"So what are 'Digimon'?" Red said to change the subject.
The Digidestined spoke fondly about Digimon and not one of the Dex Holders could find a fault in their words. The Tamers made sure not to talk about battles, because Cody could easily put them in the list of untrustworthy people. It was easier to be in Cody's good books than be in the side in which Cody will glare at occasionally. The only thing about battles that they talk about is fighting bad Digimon.
The Trainers seemed to be at a lost because they can't find a single fault in their words. Gold tried to get something by saying, "What happens if you get into a fight?" but the Digidestined just told him they don't send their Digimon hitting the other because of a petty fight. This statement really made the Tamers sheepish. Gold pointed it out and said "Ah-hah! Caught ya! I knew it! You guys sent your Digimon onto each other before didn't you?"
"That was because we thought that Digimon was just a bunch of data then!" Rika retorted.
"Rika, you were the only one who thought that." Henry said, face palming.
"Oh ok." Rika said defeated.
"But you still sent your Digimon against each other!" Gold said with an arrogant smile.
"It was self-defense. Rika was trying to pummel Guilmon with Renamon, so Guilmon fought back before he gets deleted! And where we come from, battle isn't a sport!" Takato said.
"Oh, ok. You win!" Gold said in a defeated tone. Then a glint in his eye came. "But then you guys must have had a fight and sent your Digimon against each other." Gold said with accusation in his voice.
"Cherrymon manipulated my feelings and turned them into anger against Tai." Matt said quietly.
"And when we set our Digimon against Ken, he was the Digimon Emperor." Davis said.
"Digimon Emperor?" Prof. Birch asked curiously.
"Never mind," Davis said quickly.
"Why do we look like a bunch of evil emperors whenever you talk about battling?" Gold said now fully defeated in his quest to find a fault in Digimon. A red hand mark was still on his face which he earned from Mimi for the reason of saying 'Digimon are just data, right? And Pokémon are real, so Pokémon is much better than Digimon' and he was almost deaf because of the shouting he got from her about Digimon being data or not, they are still real. He hadn't even once heard them say Digimon are better than Pokémon.
"We got our different point of views when it comes to battles, I far as I'm concerned." Prof. Birch quietly said. Then he looked at Cody. "But please, it's normal around here to battle, so please tolerate it." Cody nodded quietly but still seems to not trust Pokémon Trainers.
"The food's here." The nurse said smiling as she entered the room.
"Yay! Food!" Guilmon said happily. After their little meal, Guilmon went to sleep saying, "Still hungry, but too tired to eat…"
"Well where were we?" Prof. Birch asked. "Let's see are there different classifications for Digimon?"
"Well there is Data, Virus, and Vaccine." Izzy said. "Vaccine beats Virus, Virus beats Data, and Data beats Vaccine."
"There are also different Digimon families." Takato said. "There are Virus Busters, Nightmare Soldiers, Dragon's Roar, Nature Spirits, Deep Savers, Metal Empire, Wind Guardians, Jungle Troopers, Unknown Family, and the Dark Area family." Prof. Birch wrote everything down. Lady Berlitz kept murmuring everything she heard. Takato looked at everyone and said "I got this much Digimon Family information because of the Digimon Cards."
"I don't really care where you got it." Rika said. "I want to know if there is a shortcut to all you just said."
"Virus Busters are classified as Holy. Nightmare Soldiers are classified as Dark. Dragon's Roar is obviously Dragon. Nature Spirits are Beast. Deep Savers are Aquan. Metal Empire is Machine or Mutant. Wind Guardians are called Bird. Jungle Troopers are Insect. Unknown Family is obviously Unknown. Dark Area is just Nightmare Soldiers turned bad." Takato said.
"Is there a Virus type that's a Virus Buster?" Gold asked curiously. At this question, everyone silenced.
"Yes." Takato said. "Gallantmon is."
"Who's Gallantmon?" Platina asked curiously.
"Guilmon's mega level." Takato said.
"Mega level?" Platina said. Again, silence.
"There are different levels in Digimon." Izzy said. "Fresh, In-Training, Rookie, Champion, Ultimate, Mega are the different levels."
"Izzy, you missed something…" Davis grinned.
"What did I forget?" Izzy asked.
"The fact that you forgot Armor level, your brain is getting rusty." Davis grinned.
"Oh, that. I completely forgot Armor Digivolution." Izzy said with a faint laugh. And then he continued his little explanation. "Well, Armor Digivolution is a level between Rookie and Champion –" Izzy was again interrupted by Davis. "What is it?"
"Golden Armor Digivolution is in between Ultimate to Mega." Davis said. "Do you think a Digimon in the level between Rookie and Champion can stand up to Chimeramon and Evil Cherubimon?" The Digidestined shuddered to think if Magnamon and GoldRapidmon were between Rookie and Champion levels.
"Oh, ok." Izzy said. "I was getting to that part. Well," Izzy rambled about levels and the digivolution line to which the studious of the Trainers, Platina, Crystal, Brock, Gary, and Prof. Birch listened to. The others, however, listened to a simpler explanation from the rest of the team.
"So it seems Digimon are pretty powerful too." Prof. Birch said.
"That's just putting it mildly." Takato said grimly. "Digimon can have the power to destroy a whole world if they want to."
"What do you mean?" Brock asked.
"For example, Megidramon has the power of the Digital Hazard." Takato said, still with a grim look on his face.
"What's the Digital Hazard?" Almost everyone, except the Tamers and their Digimon asked.
"It has the power to destroy the whole world." Henry said grimly. Everyone gulped.
"Never mind that. Others are the Digimon Sovereigns." Takato said.
"Are the Digimon Sovereigns bad?" Ash said.
"Well, Azulongmon's ok –" Takato began but was interrupted by Yolei.
"Azulongmon? Isn't he part of the Harmonious Ones?" Yolei asked.
"Yolei, maybe Harmonious Ones is another name for Digimon Sovereigns." Izzy said.
"They weren't so harmonious when we saw Zhuqiaomon." Rika said.
"So Zhuqiaomon is what? The Phoenix, the Tiger, or the Tortoise?" Yolei said.
"He's the Phoenix." Takato said. "Ebonwumon's the Tortoise and Baihumon is the Tiger.
"What on earth are you talking about?" Gold asked, starting to feel out of place.
"Visiting hours is over. Everyone, please leave and let the patients rest." The nurse said over speakerphone."
Chapter End
The Digidestined, the Tamers, and the Anime Trainers will be outside the Center at the next chapter. I just realized that almost the whole chapter seemed based in the Center. I made the Pokémon Center like a usual Hospital because I have no idea where trainers go to if the trainer is hurt.
