Into the Pokemon World! Chapter 2
A/N Alright, here we go, I'm gonna get this fic into full swing! I got a few OCs, but I'm only using one this , here we go!
Last time, our new heroes were brought into the world of Pokemon by Team Rocket, and were almost instantly found by Ash and his friends. Brock took an instant liking to Alex, but, seriously, what girl doesn't he like? Now, Ash is bringing the 3 to Professor Oak's to get their starters, but will soon be sidetracked!
"How long til we get to Professor oak's place, Ash?" Asked the tall girl with the auburn hair.
"Only a little bit longer, Alex, now stop asking!" Ash replied. He turned, hearing chuckling behind him, and a girl walked up to him, her fiery red contrasting with her sea green eyes.
"She sounds like you, you hypocrite!" She said, hitting him on the head for good measure. "You could not stop asking, 'When's the next gym? Where is it? How long until we get there?' It drove us all mad!" She said, doing a cruel but accurate impression of Ash. Alex laughed, while Ash sweat dropped, groaning. This caught the attention of a kid on the side of the street. He was sitting on a log next to a fire, shadows dancing across his red, shoulder length hair, the yellow highlights blending in nicely. He stood up, revealing his attire. Long, army camo jeans, a matching jacket, and a white t-shirt. His boots, also camo, were immaculately clean, as if he polished them 5 minutes ago. His red, wire rimmed glasses flashed in the light of the fire.
"Hey, you're that kid who just beat Sabrina, aren't you?" He said, addressing Ash. His voice was deep and low, but still laid back, calm, almost. "I want a battle, right here, right now." He said, still talking to Ash as if he was the only person in the entire forest.
"A-a battle?" Ash said, slightly taken aback. "I accept! Let's go Pikachu!" He said, getting his battle mind on. The kid unclipped a Pokeball, throwing it with a cry of, "Come on out, Arturia!"
"Arturia? I've never heard of a Pokemon called Arturia." Jakob whispered to Alex, waiting for the ball to open. It did, and out came a scyther. It got into a battle stance, it's long knife like arms up in the air.
"Scy! Ther!" It said, awaiting a battle command. Pikachu did the same, standing battle ready, awaiting Ash's command.
"Pikachu, use a thunder shock!" Ash cried, starting the battle. Pikachu's red cheeks began to spark, and he let of a huge burst of electricity, shocking Scyther before it could dodge. Scyther winced, obviously hurt, but hen steeled himself and straightened up.
"Arturia! Use a scratch attack!" The scyther ran forward, and tried to scratch Pikachu, but Pikachu was to fast for him. The little mouse ran forward, after Ash's yell of, "Agility, Pikachu!" Pikachu ran so fast that all you could see was a yellow blur.
"This is amazing! Who would have ever thought we'd be wittnessing a live Pokemon battle!" Michael said to his siblings. They both nodded, with huge grins on their faces. In truth, Alex had had this exact same battle on her HeartGold game. Her Pikachu had totally kicked that trainer's scyther's butt! So it was really weird to be seeing the same battle she had done a million times, acted out right here in front of her. She was a little freaked out, but really loved the idea of battling and really wanted to learn how to really do it, so she turned her attention back to the match. She was glad she did, because right at that moment, Pikachu let off a HUGE burst of electricity, causing scyther to faint, right there on the dirt path. Brock let out a yell of, "Scyther is unable to battle! The winner is Pikachu!" then sat back down next to Alex. He did that corny yawn thing, and tried to put his arm around Alex, but she yawned too, and scootched down the seat toward Jakob, to talk to him. Brock sunk down in his seat, before running off to try and get to Alex again.
Meanwhile, Ash was talking to this kid. They were laughing, and Misty was completely fangirling over his huge water type, Gyrados, whom he had nicknamed sweetheart. Gyrados had always creeeped out Alex, who thought that their ever present silent yell face was really weird looking. Other than that, she sorta liked water types, but just thought that grass types were much cooler. Alex got up and moved slowly towards the little clearing in which Gyrados was sitting with Misty. She flinched slightly as Gyrados looked at her, and when he began to move towards her, she lost it. She began to scream, but then Gyrados snuggled up to her. She loved the cool, smooth feel of Gyrados's scales, and as it got closer, she relaxed, and Gyrados figured her job was done. She sat down, or sat as much as a giant snake-dragon-lizard thing can sit, and the new kid walked over to her.
"Hey, sweetheart." He said, petting Gyrados. Alex moved closer to this new kid, who was about an inch taller than her. She was very tall for her age, about 5 foot 9, and anyone taller than her really freaked her out. It was just one of her pet peeves, like loose screws, and broken hairbrushes. So when she say tis new guy, she got annoyed. She walked up to him, and decided to introduce herself.
"Hey, I'm Alex. Why are you so tall?" She said, deciding to be straight with him. He looked taken aback for a minute, before replying, in his laid back voice,
"I'm Briar. Briar Victoria. And, just so you know, I've always been tall." He said, chuckling. Alex smiled, and held out her hand, which he took, and shook with surprising strength, for his slightly wiry figure.
"So, where are you guys heading?" Briar asked, flicking a strand of red hair out of his eyes and sitting down on the ground.
"We're going to Professor Oak's for our starter Pokemon." Alex said, sitting down next to him, and leaning back to look at the sky.
"Ah, yes, Oak. I remember my starter. At that time, he had Bellsprout, Vulpix, and Poliwag. I picked Vulpix, and now she's really tough. Not to brag, ut I think I've trained her really well." He said, unclipping a poke ball from his belt. He enlarged it, and then threw it out into the sky. The red light came out, and materialized into the little fire fox, which gave a happy little mewl, and crawled into it's trainer's lap. Briar smiled, and began to stroke the Vulpix, which closed it's eyes happily.
"So, do you know what Pokemon you're going to pick?" He asked, looking up at Alex. She nodded.
"Yeah. I'm gonna pick Bulbasaur. Then I'm gonna become the best grass-type trainer in the world!" She cried, striking a dramatic pose, her arm up in the air. Briar chuckled.
"Yeah. I used to want to be a fire type trainer, but then I caught Scyther, and I just started catching everything I could. I'm really happy with my team." He said, smiling up at Sweethart as he talked. Alex and Briar seemed to get along really well, and continued to talk and laugh, unaware that, right at this moment, they were being watched. Watched by three people, well, two people and a Pokemon.
"Grrrr! I can't believe those twerps got away, and then found the other twerps! Just our luck!" Jessie growled in a low whisper.
"Yes, they took away my instant noodles!" James cried, tears threatening to spill at the thought of the deliciously tempting pork flavored noodles.
"Shut it James!" Jessie snapped, whacking James on the side of his head.
"Owww! Jessie!" He moaned, massaging his poor, assaulted head. Meowth snickered, and James glared at him, while Jessie turned her attention back to the "twerps" in the clearing.
"Hey, here they come!" She whispered, as the group of trainers began to slowly walk past, still talking and laughing.
"Annnnd three... Two... One! Lets do this!" She said, and they all jumped out of the bush they were in, though James' foot got caught, and he faceplanted.
"It's Team Rocket!" Yelled Ash, holding Pikachu closer so that Team Rocket couldn't take him. Pikachu's red sacs began to spark.
Alex's eyes widened. They were the ones who had brought them here! Now they were gonna expose them, and just when she was going to get a Bulbasaur! She turned towards Jakob, and saw that he was looking really downcast. Michael was next to him, and he was standing with his arms crossed, seemingly putting 2+2 together in his mind.
"Mwahahahaha! Prepare for trouble, were back for more!" Jessie proclaimed to the group of preteens, striking her usual dramatic pose. Next to her, James did the same, twigs stuck in his hair.
"Hahahahaha! Make it double, for our final score!" He replied.
"To protect the world from devastation!"
"To unite all peoples within our nation!"
"To denounce the evils of truth and love!"
"To extend our reach to the stars above!"
"Jessie!" She cried, holding out her hands.
"James!" He replied, grasping them in his own.
"Team Rocket! Blast off at the speed of light!"
"Surrender now or prepare to fight!"
"Meowth! Dat's right!" Meowth dropped in, saying his only line.
"Forget it, you're not getting Pikachu!" Ash yelled to them, unclipping a Pokeball.
"Oh, we're not here for Pikachu today, young twerp." James said, unclipping his as well.
"We're here for those twerps who got away!" She said, grabbing her Pokeball. She threw it, with a cry of, "Come out, Arbok!" The snake Pokemon emerged, crying her name, before getting into a battle stance. Brock jumped in front of Alex.
"What do you want with them?" He yelled. He grabbed Onix's Pokeball, and threw it, calling out his Onix to battle.
"Yooooooooooor!" It growled, glaring at Arbok.
"You mean they haven't told you?" Jessie said, a flash of evil in her blue eyes. She snickered.
"What are they talking about, Alex?" Misty asked, staring at her curiously. Alex sat down, and began to cry, the events of the day washing over her as she sobbed. Brock went to comfort her, but Misty pulled him back by the ear.
"I-i'm sorry! We didn't t-think you'd b-believe us if we told the t-t-truth!" She cried. "We're not from here... W-we're from a different... A d-different universe." She sobbed.
"What? A different universe? Do you mean Hoenn? That's not that far away." Ash said, being dense as always. Misty smacked him. Good for her.
"N-no! I m-mean a place where P-pokemon d-don't exist! Where they're j-just games, and t-tv shows!" She wailed.
"But, that's impossible!" Misty cried, sitting down on the ground.
"But it's true. Didn't you wonder why you found three kids in the middle of a forest without any Pokemon, so far from Professor Oak's?" Jakob said, pulling Alex close, as he sat down too. Brock looked like the urge to comfort her was overwhelming him.
"These idiot's came and tried to kidnap us while we were sleeping." Michael said, pointing to Team Rocket. They smiled at them.
"W-we didn't know w-what to s-say! I thought I-i was dreaming!" Alex cried miserably. Brock let out a cry, and wrenched his ear from Misty's grip, going to comfort Alex.
"Well then, we'll help you get back! Who cares if you're from another universe! We'll help you!" Ash cried, going to help Alex up.
"Yeah, we don't care, and I believe you!" Misty said, help Jakob off the ground, as he blushed.
"I LOVE YOU ANYWAY!" Brock cried, hearts replacing his slitty eyes, hugging Alex, as she sobbed.
"Enough lovey-doveyness! Dose Twoips belong to us!" Meowth said, pressing a button. A cage shot out, holding all of the kids, except for Briar. He seemed like this whole thing was overwhelming him completely. A hand shot out of the remote as well, grabbing Pikachu from Ash's grip.
"Might as well kill two birds with one stone!" Jessie laughed. Pikachu tried to thunder shock, but he might as well have hit them with a girly pink ribbon, for all it worked.
"Shock proof, shook proof, we upgraded the shock proof!" James sang. He did a little dance, while Jessie and Meowth shook their heads disapprovingly.
"Let us out!" Cried Alex, shaking the metal bars of the cage. Ash took out one of his Pokeballs. He threw it, and out came the sole thing that could calm Alex down. A grass type Pokemon.
"Bulba! Saur!" It cried. Alex lunged at it, and gave it a smothering hug.
"Oh my glob! It's a grass type! Whoo hoo!" She cried, laughing as she hugged the poor creature.
"Bulba!" It cried, glaring at the poor girl, trying to wrench itself free of her grip. Alex knew she was being slightly insane, but she always had been about her grass types... Anything from Bulbasaur to Victreebel to Vileploom... She would love.
"Hey, Alex... I think you should let Bulbasaur go now..." Misty said, staring at her. Alex blushed, and let Bulbasaur go.
"Bulbasaur, razor leaf!" Cried Ash. Bulbasaur set loose his leaves, and the cages bars shattered. Team Rocket screamed, and Jessie hit James.
"I thought you said it was leaf proof!" Jessie cried, smacking James repeatedly.
"Well... Da shock proof cost more, so we couldn't get da leaf proof too..." Meowth muttered, cowering under the extreme force of Jessie's rage.
"Bulbasaur, solar beam!" Yelled Ash, causing Team Rocket to snap around. Bulbasaur began powering its signature attack, smiling at Team Rocket's terrified faces.
"Bulba...SAUR!" It yelled, firing off its solar beam. Team Rocket screamed as the beam hit them, and Meowth let go of the hand. Pikachu dropped to the ground, and ran to Ash, who was chuckling at Team Rocket's failure.
Something exploded, and team Rocket flew away, with a cry of, "We're blasting off again!"
Brock ran to Alex, hugging her tightly. "I don't care where you're from, I LOVE YOU!" He cried. Misty face-palmed, then pulled him away by the ear. Ash replaced Brock's place, sitting down next to Alex.
"So... You still want a Bulbasaur?" he asked, grinning. His grin soon spread to her face, and she jumped up in the air.
"Yes! Of course! Thank you thank you thank you!" She yelled, giving Ash a hug. He blushed, patting her awkwardly on the head.
"So I still get my Squirtle?" Jakob asked, and Misty walked to him.
"Of course. No one should be denied the joy of Pokemon! Especially water-types!" She cried. Jakob laughed, then jumped as well. Michael joined him, jumping up and down and yelling, "Charmander! Charmander! Wooo!" Briar walked over, staring at Alex.
"You- you're not from here, then?" He asked, sitting down in the grassy area.
"Nope! But I get a Pokemon anyway!" She cried, sitting down next to him. He laughed, then turned to Misty and Ash, who were talking to Jakob. Briar thought for a second, then looked as if he remembered something important.
"I'm sorry guys, but I've gotta go... My mom makes me come back home for a checkup every year, and now I've gotta go back to Celadon..." He trailed off, staring at the ground.
"You're from Celadon? You must know Erika!" Alex cried, staring at him. He nodded, and Alex whooped.
"First off, we'll be going to Celadon for our Rainbow Badge, and Erika trains grass-types!" She yelled, jumping up and down. She hadn't realized she would be meeting gym leaders in her initial shock... Now she would meet Erika, her idol!
"Well, I hope to see you there, then... See ya guys later!" Briar said, waving to them as he walked away, into the forest. They waved back, knowing they would see him again.
"Shall we get going, then?" Ash asked, turning towards the path, marked, "To Pallet Town." Alex jumped up, and ran ahead, laughing about her Bulbasaur. Everyone ran after her, Misty yelling, "Wait up!" as they ran into the dense trees.
