A/N:

I wanted to update this as quickly as possible. This is probably the story I'd like to work on more.

This chapter I'm introducing a character from one of the earlier generations (B&W). It's really just a bug though... Furthermore I'm not going to deal with any X&Y Pokémon as of yet because I'm still pretty confused about this, but don't let it bother you. I might just add some depending on feedback from all of you.

Meoow Meoow Mew Meeow: Thanks for reading and being so considerate to even review this small awkward little piece I just recently thought of. Again, thank you. As for the fire, I agree. I'm a little bothered by the conditions myself, and I strongly believe (in myself :P) that I'll somehow manage to fit an explanation somewhere along the way. There..., well I don't want to spoil too much, but let's just say, it becomes a "fiery" mess after.

Chapter 2: Welcome to PREAM!

"WELCOME TO THE PREAM TEAM!"

"..."

Shaun stared. He stared for a few seconds then blinked. For some reason, he ended up in what seemed like a huge dome from outside. He couldn't explain it correctly, as the interior design was not at all what he had expected. Right now, he was in what seemed like a counter? Agar had entered a code which helped them go on in. Not only that, a Joltik was right there. It was so incredibly small, Shaun could laugh. The Growlithe hardly noticed the small being, who seemed to read his mind and squeaked in reply. "I'm the last of my kind! Better treat me nicely!" Shaun might've actually laughed if he didn't see the dangerously electrifying sparks that had been spewing off from the tiny bug.

"I-I'm sorry. Um. I'm Shaun...," Shaun muttered apprehensively. One wrong move and he would probably die. The Joltik smiled, and the sparks began to fade, and Shaun sighed in relief. It had certainly brought up unnecessary pressure.

The Joltic returned the greeting. "Yo! I'm Jolly. Nice ta meet cha!" There was also a Cyndaquil trembling behind a Feraligatr. The Feraligatr waved, and Shaun felt awkward with his paws unable to wave back. So, he just kind of waved his tail instead. It seemed to work, but the Cyndaquil continued to quiver at an insane speed.

"I'm Scion, and this little girl is Caris. We found her a few days ago left alone in a campfire set on fire. Seriously, when Pokémon go crazy because of the Pokeparasite, it really sucks, especially in a dense forest," Scion boomed. Shaun was startled by the loud, deafening noise, but nodded anyway. On another case, when he tried to approach Caris, she freaked out, jumped, and ran away. "Don't mind her, she's always like that," Scion assured.

"Oh, really...," Shaun trailed off. He smiled. That was an interesting encounter. However, Shaun had other more complicated things on his mind at the moment. "Erm. Jolly? Scion? Didn't you guys mention a "PREAM" earlier?"

Scion smirked as Jolly crawled onto Scion's head. "Yeah, and if you don't join, we'll dump you out," Scion said. That didn't explain anything. On another paw, Shaun couldn't tell if Scion was kidding or not.

"I-I-I'll join!" Shaun stammered, unable to fully produce what he wanted to say. "I-If that's alright..." Jolly smiled.

"Oh yeah? Awesome! We have another member!" Jolly yelped in joy, living up to his name, then scurried to a different room. "Woooooohooooo!" Shaun could hear the small being's extraordinary loud voice echoing through the halls. After that, things kind of just got strangely quiet.

After a while, the semi-awkward silence was broken. "Hey. Guys. You've been leaving me out like I'm invisible for a while now. Am I a pest to you guys?" called out an irritated voice. Shaun recognized it as Agar, the large Drifblim. "Oh, did I bother your private time?"

"Shut up, Agar," Scion angrily replied, and suddenly got into a heated fight between him and Agar. Then, as if on cue, someone burst into the room with a murderous aura that instantly spread throughout the room.

"ENOUGH!" Shaun wasn't sure what kind of Pokémon this was. He seemed to be emerging from a tiny rock, but Shaun wasn't sure. While he was pondering this new creature, Scion and Agar instantly went into what Shaun saw as "Soldier Mode". They both lined up and politely bowed.

"Doctor! We apologize! We were just stating our opinion!" they both said in unison. The "Doctor" seemed to have been satisfied with that, as Shaun suddenly felt the immense tension leave the room, and Agar and Scion relaxed their shoulders. Shaun saw this as an opportunity and decided to speak up.

"Um... Docto-"

"Just call me Judice, my real name. These two morons have to call me Doctor though," Judice cut off, and then beamed at the Drifblim and Feraligatr. Shaun nodded.

"Er-Ah, okay. Judice. What exactly is this... 'PREAM'?" asked Shaun, still confused. A murderous aura began to fill the room once more.

"You imbeciles!... you didn't even explain to the guest-"

"He's part of PREAM now..." Scion whispered.

"DON'T CUT ME OFF. SHUT UP AND JUST LISTEN TO WHAT I SAY! Now. Why didn't you bastards ask him..."

"Shaun," the Growlithe threw in.

"-ask Shaun what PREAM was?" Evidently, Agar and Scion were both trying to find an explanation and excuse themselves. Shaun didn't blame them. Judice really was crazy, in a way that made him... unique.

Shaun smiled. "I-It's okay, you don't have to tell me," he mumbled. Judice looked at Shaun gently and with some embarrassment.

"Sorry these two morons didn't fit your expectations." Judice then did something that seemed like a bow, but Shaun wasn't too sure. "We are the Pokeparasite Research, Extermination, and More!" Shaun sort of didn't get that.

First of all, he didn't get that you could exterminate Pokeparasite. Second, Shaun was next to nothing on knowledge about Pokeparasites. Lastly... what did more mean?

"Judice, erm. What exactly do you do in this... PREAM of yours?" Shaun asked. Judice nodded, and smirked.

"Well, we basically travel around looking for information about the Pokeparasite. We also are like a rescue team and bring back survivors. A special team is needed for that. Agar was part of it-," Judice then jabbed a glare at Agar, and Agar... floated... paralyzed, "-and we take them here to the PREAM center. After investigation, we have discovered several things. Also that the Pokeparasite may be more than just some parasite. I am the lead doctor here."

"Oh. Um... what did you mean by more than just a parasite?" asked Shaun. Judice looked down in shame.

"Unfortunately, we are still in the process of investigating that. I'll lend you a large book of all of our studies later, but please be careful with it," Judice promised. Shaun nodded. He didn't know how to write, but he knew how to read from a few books he scavenged from the remains of his last home, the home where he lived with his parents. He also knew how to be sensitive about some things. Shaun had a vase that miraculously survived from the collapse of the house before the one with the invisible Super Door, but was on the verge of breaking. It had probably broken by now though.

"We know one thing for sure though. The Pokeparasite cannot effect those who have not have had physical contact with one of the infected, so we're not sure how it started. Every clue-another mystery," Judice finished. "Ah we also have a Master, but I cannot reveal details of him yet." Shaun sighed.

"Thanks Judice, you really helped," Shaun spoke appreciatively. Judice nodded.

"Oh, and about that book, I'll leave it on your desk which will be in your room. Also, be sure to get Pokehealed," Judice called. He then left dragging what seemed like a heavy rock in a spirit form... Shaun tipped his head in confusion.

"Pokeheal?" he whispered. "What?" Shaun looked back at Agar and Scion, who were ready to break and start fighting again. "Ah... you two. I'll go get Judice if you start fighting again..." The twosome then glared harshly at the Growlithe, who felt as though his heart skipped a beat.

"What'd you say?" Agar growled. Shaun thought growling was his thing.

"I'll bite you if you do," Scion threatened. Shaun thought biting was his thing. He was ready to take off and find Judice now. Not to tease and abuse (indirectly), but for his own good.

"I-I'm sorry. I won't. B-By the way, where's my room and what's Pokeheal?" Shaun tried to change the subject and draw their attention from just barely resisting to killing each other (and also Shaun). Agar huffed.

"Somewhere. But I won't tell you-because you were mean to me," Agar pouted. Scion glared at Agar scornfully. It felt like they were a father, daughter relationship, or something like that. Shaun giggled.

Scion stared daggers at Agar, who pouted some more. "Come on! Fine! But you owe me now. Jeez." Scion sighed and grinned. Agar looked over at Shaun. "Come with me."

They entered the hall. It was littered with trash in every corner. Literally (A/N: See what I did there? *wink*). The floor could not be stepped on without stepping on a bag, paper, or anything else. Random things were sticking on the ceiling, which Shaun shivered in disgust from. The roof was ready to collapse. The walls seemed to be in poor condition. Yet, even with this living hell, Agar seemed used to it, and appeared genuinely surprised when Shaun didn't follow.

"Huh? What's wrong? Come on or I'll just leave you here!" Agar used one of his "hands" to gesture he wanted Shaun to follow. The young Growlithe who seemed traumatized by this overwhelming overload of trash gingerly did so. Shaun would clean this later. One way or another-he would. Otherwise... Shaun shivered. No one would ever be able to walk through, and even his own room (which Shaun had no idea where it was yet) would even reek of a horribly eerie smell, which meant the hallway would be unapproachable. At least, for Shaun. Even he could see Agar or the tiny Joltic navigating their way through the trash, without a single care.

Eventually, they got to Shaun's room, which he was truly relieved of-he could rid of the trash walking. At the same time, he was not. Although it wasn't too far from the room from before, his doorstep was also where the trash concentrated the most, and Shaun could barely hold in his cries of horror.

Though little did he know... the true horror was yet to begin... until now.

Agar opened the door, and Shaun looked in.

"KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

Closing Words:

So sorry that this chapter was a bit shorter (Wait a second, technically this is longer than the last chapter...), but I really did want to end on a cliffhanger that much. *Feels da glares from mah readers* G-Gomen!

Anyway, this chapter really didn't fit my expectations. It felt forced, even while I was writing, but I wanted it to continue without many disturbances that would lead me astray from the actual storyline.

Though putting that aside, can you guess what Pokemon the Judice/Doctor is? I'll reveal it in the next chapter, maybe. (Must make you all suffer type of person = me) I would also love some more feedback, but I don't want to force any of you. You're all busy I'm assuming.

Thanks for reading! (I was about to write, "Thanks a lot!" but then that would seem sarcastic right?)
