Takoe was seriously starting to hate this world. First his sentience gets insulted multiple times, and now he's reached the top of the most wanted lists (AGAIN!) for blowing up a safari park and supposedly killing innocents. Yes, he had made some very poetic death threats and he had been planning to realise, but had changed his mind at the last moment. Instead of ripping the boy and his Pokémon apart in an explosion of unbridled destructive energy he had decided to make them a pod of congealed lava and had used astral recall (Which had been a bit more powerful than expected. It usually doesn't make a kilometre wide crater does it?) to shoot him to Outland.
The kid needed to grow up and no better place for that then the beautiful Outland, with all its Ogres, Gronn, Fel Orcs, Ravagers and those evil bird-men whose name he kept forgetting.
Maybe not his best idea ever, but alas, it was done. His biggest concern at the moment was dealing with the giant ice-shooting bird and the asshole machine that had betrayed him and had given the law his location. Oh yeah, he was starting to hate this world.

*A few minutes earlier*

'You said nobody ever came here.' Takoe said grumpily after hexing the umpteenth skier, tired of having to fight both the Pokémon in the cave, whose attacks hurt like hell, and the obnoxious humans that picked a fight as soon as you made eye contact.

'Can't I make mistakes too?' Dexter asked him, seemingly hurt.

'No, you can't. You're a machine. Machines can't miscalculate. That's sort of the point. '

'True…But I hadn't expected there to be this many people here. According to my database this place qualifies as extreme environment, so it would be illogical for there to be any human activity here.'

'Yeah yeah, it's alright. Just tell me where the entrance to the next level is so we can get somewhere safe.' Takoe grumbled.

'It's right ahead.'

Dexter was starting to get nervous. Maybe his master plan to fame hadn't been so fool proof as he had calculated. Takoe hadn't been caught by the ninja's of Fuchsia City. Janine had spotted them and she had followed them over the rooftops, but she only called the authorities to update them and gave them an accurate description of the Pokémon who had just blown the safari zone to kingdom come. Clever girl.
He hadn't been stopped by the ocean either, even though he was a ground type. He had just ran over the water all the way here. Some Tentacool had tried to attack Takoe, but they had just been stomped on and swatted away in what could best be described as a martial art for bovines. And now they neared their final destination. The "safe haven" that Dexter had promised Takoe. The lowest level of the Seafoam Islands. There he'd be cornered by the law, because it was a dead end or he'd frozen into a popsicle by a being of legendary power that holds a double type advantage over Takoe. But still, as Takoe entered the bottom level of the cave Dexter was having serious doubts about the result of the coming fight.

'CUOOOOO!'

Right on cue, Takoe got tackled by Articuno. Dexter set in motion the final stage of his plan, which involved sending a S.O.S. to the authorities, laughing like a madman and cramming exposition down Takoe's throat on how this had been his plan all along and how he would now become rich/famous/powerful and gradually take over the world, because that's what sentient machines do.

Then something unexpected happened. Takoe suddenly changed type! Dexter was flabbergasted. Instead of the Ground/Fight type he had been he now was Fire/Fight.

'How can this be! The only Pokémon capable of changing types is Arceus! And he's god!' Dexter exclaimed from a where Takoe had dropped him when he got tackled.

'You really haven't listened to my angry rant from when I shot you previous master through space, have you.' Takoe said while getting the big bird of his chest with lava lash. 'I'm not a Pokémon! I'm a Tauren! I control the elements because the old gods decided to screw with me because I kept buggering their plans up. My soul got fused with that of a primal elemental. It nearly drove me insane, but eventually we made a truce, because I was now immortal and he was stuck inside me. I got his powers and he got a bit of my humanity. That what just happened was just me switching element. Your plan was doomed from the start.'

'That can't be! I took everything into account!'

'No, you didn't. Besides my mental and bodily conditions you forgot another variable.'

'Which one?'

'My wrath.' That was the final thing Dexter registered, because that next moment he was cut in half by a flaming axe that Takoe had conjured up and hurled at him.

Takoe switched his attention to Articuno who had recuperated from Takoe's attack. Takoe held his hands up in submission. 'I don't want to fight you. I was led here by that stupid hunk of metal on purpose.'

Articuno didn't listen and fired an ice beam at Takoe which hit him right in the chest. He was unfazed by this, because his form had once again been engulfed in a fiery aura Then he got an idea.
'It shoots ice, so maybe it understands the language of the elements.' Takoe pondered. Takoe repeated himself, but this time in Kalimag.

Articuno stopped shooting his beam and shifted out of his combat stance. 'A non-Pokémon who looks like a Pokémon and speaks our general language? You're a strange one.' Articuno replied in Kalimag as well, his head tilted in curiosity.

'Where I'm from I'm a shaman. A person who can speak to the elements and spirits of the land and harness their power. I was called a Tauren. Not really sure what I am now. I'm sorry for trespassing by the way. Didn't know this was your roost.'

'It's alright. The only reason I attacked you was because of those damn trainers that keep barging in here and try to capture me.'

'I understand that reaction…' Takoe muttered. 'Say, can you help me out with some things?'

'Sure, what do you need?'

'I need you to buy me some time. I have a feeling an army will soon be here to take me captive and I need time to shapeshift into a somewhat less monstrous form. It isn't easy being stealthy when you're 2,50 M tall.'

'Sure thing. I've been wanting to let off some steam anyway. Anything else?'

'Hmm, yes. There's one more thing. Do you know where I can find this "Arceus" that that treacherous piece of junk mentioned. Maybe he knows how the hell I got here. Since apparently he's the god of this world.'

'You can find Arceus in the Hall of Origins. The Hall is located at the summit of Mount Coronet in the Sinnoh region. There should be a liner going there from Cinnabar Island. Just keep going west and you'll run into it.'

'Thanks for the help. If you ever need something, ask for Takoe. I'll find you.'

'No problem. Now will you please excuse me.' Articuno said while he spread his wings. 'I have a rampage to go on. Give my regards to that old coot of an almighty Llama!'

Articuno took off into the morning sky through a hole in the cave's ceiling. The last thing Takoe saw of him was an evil smirk plastered on his beak while he was busy whipping up a snowstorm.

'Nice guy. Pretty strong too. Such a shame I can't stick around and watch that go down.' Takoe said to himself with a grin on his face. 'Now lets see if I can recall that spell.

Takoe began chanting in some long-forgotten language channelling his power into himself. But nothing happened.

'You mispronounced the 7 vowel of the 13th word.' A voice inside him spoke.

'Thanks Baradur.' Takoe thought back, all the while continuing his chanting and correcting his mistake from earlier.

'What, no hello? I've been out cold since we jumped through that damn portal and you didn't even wonder why I had been silent for one and a half day? You heartless bastard.'

'I did wonder where you were Baradur. I was just rejoicing in the silence.'

'So you're saying I'm annoying?' Baradur asked, feigning hurt.

'Not Jeod levels of annoying, but you're a good second place.'

'Thanks.' Baradur said, his low voice that sounded like a mixture of cracking ice, rolling waves, roaring flames and trembling earth dripping with sarcasm. 'So what did I miss.'

'I shot some punk to Outland so he you grow a pair. Unfortunately I tried to kill him first, and apparently using the power you've generated to cast a minor cataclysm to cast astral recall instead causes quite the explosion.

'How big?'

'Remember Dalaran's crater.'

'That big?'

'No. Twice that size.'

'Dayum.'

'Indeed. And for that little oopsy daisy I've gotten myself on top of every most wanted list on this world.

'Nothing new there.'

'Sadly yes. That's why I'm morphing into a human. They are looking for a 2,5M tall behemoth of destruction. Not a man who looks like a barbarian running around in scale mail.'

'Still not very stealthy.'

'I'll buy some new clothes on Cinnabar Island. Now would you please shut up for a moment. I've almost got it.'

At that moment smoke began to arise from, and cover Takoe's body. When the smoke cleared a man in green black scale mail robes stood where Takoe had previously been. He had long black hair with two braids draped over his shoulders. He had a well-kept beard and light yellow eyes.

'I forgot just how nauseous that makes me.' Said the humanized Takoe. 'I've also forgotten how much better five fingers and feet are then three fingers and hooves. And how horribly small humans are in comparison.'

'Could you just stop being nostalgic for a moment and get going? I don't want to end up in jail after the Tol Barad incident.' Baradur said, being pretty annoyed.

'I've told you before, I'm sorry. How could I have known how strong those Pygmies were?'

'If I remember correctly the exact same thing happened 200 years before that!'

'It did?'

'YES!'

'Well, then I owe you an apology.'

'Just get going already.' Baradur sighed.

Escaping was a walk in the park now that everybody had either been frozen, turned into a frog or knocked out. Takoe walked out onto the ocean after casting water walking on himself. It was a beautiful warm day out. Which made the ice everywhere seem even more out of place. Takoe was grateful for this warmth, because it had been freezing inside the cave.

'He must have really put on a show here. He scared them all of.' Takoe said as he strolled past a police cruiser that had crashed into an iceberg.

'Not all of them. The ninja girl has been following us ever since she spotted you.' Baradur noted.

Takoe nodded. 'You can come out now ninja. I won't hurt you if you don't give me reason to.' He said with a raised voice.
Janine pulled herself up onto some flotsam she had been hiding under and went into a combat stance.

'Oh please girl. You know I destroyed that safari park without any effort whatsoever and you've seen me fighting the wild Pokémon in the sea. What chance do you think you have?'

At this she sighed and let her shoulders slump.

'Who, no, What are you? And why are you a human all of the sudden?' She asked.

'Who I am is a tricky question. You may call me Yewyn. What I am is even trickier. I'm from another world called Azeroth. Many people there have special capabilities. Be it great strength and stamina or magical powers. I'm somewhat of a special case, even in my world. Come here, the water is preventing a nice conversation.' Yewyn, as Takoe had renamed himself, said with a warm smile on his face.

Janine tried to dive of the flotsam into the water, but was stunned as she landed on the surface of the water but didn't break through it. Yewyn gave a hearty chuckled as he saw her drop her jaw.

'How is this possible? What kind of sorcery is this?' Janine asked.

'It's elemental magic, my dear. The same magic that allowed me to take on a human form. Now I don't think you've told me your name yet.'

'It's Janine.' Janine said as she stood up. 'So… you're an alien?'

'Hadn't thought about it like that yet. I must say I'm very impressed at your stealth skills. If I hadn't been told you were there I wouldn't have known.' Yewyn said as he took a good look at her slender figure. She couldn't be older then 18, but she had an athlete's body and the attitude of an adult. She wore cloth ninja garments and had a purple scarf wrapped around her neck. Both her hair and eyes were a dark shade of purple that Yewyn couldn't believe was natural. But then again, he didn't think giant ice-shooting birds were natural either. Her hair was pulled back by a hair elastic and slightly spikey.

'Thanks. I'm trying to become the best ninja and poison-type specialist ever, but my dad keeps beating me no matter how hard I try.' She pouted a little. 'It's good to know that I'm good enough to be able to shadow a night unstoppable force of destruction without being seen.' She said with a wry smile

'Thanks for realising that I'm dangerous. I'd have hated to deal with such a skilled ninja.' He cringed at the thought of his training sessions with Taoshi back in Pandaria.
'Did you know you are the first sensible human I've met on this world so far. All the others either thought it was a good idea to insult the big bovine creature that can cast magic and has 2 burning warhammers or were trying to kill the big bovine creature that can cast magic and has 2 burning warhammers.' Janine started laughing and Yewyn soon joined her.

Janine felt the last bits of tension leave her as she realized Yewyn wasn't lying about not posing a danger to her. 'So why did you blow up the safari?'

'I saved a kid from the trigger happy warden and as payment he attack me and tried to catch me. I wanted to kill him in a "stylish" fashion befitting of his dickishness, but I decided against it at the last moment. So I blasted him to a world that's linked to mine so he can learn some valuable life lessons. The explosion was just residue energy from charging way too much power into a low cost spell.'

'So what are you going to do now?'

'Articuno advised me go see the god of this world. But I think I'll try my hand against this world's champions first. These Pokémon have a lot of power and I don't think I'm ready to fight their creator. I don't even know how to get to his home. Hell, I don't even know what part of the world it's in. Well, that's not entirely true. He mentioned a liner departing from a nearby isle, but liners never stop in only one harbour, so I still know nothing. Do you know a guide who could get me there?'

'I can show you around if you want.' Janine blurted in a fit of excitement. 'I just want one thing from you.'

'Which is?' Yewyn asked with a raised eyebrow.

'That you take me on as an apprentice or at least bring me to someone who will.' Janine had been stuck at the same level of skill for far too long and this might be her only chance to break through her current limits. Plus, the chance that her mentor would have special powers too and that she might learn some of them was just too good to pass up.

'I cannot train you in the art of the rouge.' Janine's face fell. 'But,' She got excited again. 'I can teach you how to properly use weapons since I was quite the arms master in my days. And I think teaching you elemental magic wouldn't be out of my range either.'

'Oh, thankyouthankyouthankyou!' Janine squeed as she took Yewyn into a bear hug.

Yewyn was taken by surprise. 'Wow, easy there girl.'

Janine back of and flushed. 'Sorry. I get carried away sometimes.'

'It's alright Janine. Please, walk with me.' Yewyn said, making a hand gesture towards the ocean.

'We have some things to go over concerning your apprenticeship.' Yewyn began as they strolled over the ocean like regular people would through tall grass.
'First, I'll need to know what you can do. I assume you have basic understanding of hand to hand and hand to claw combat.'

'Hand to claw?'

'You'll thank me once you're getting mauled by some big scary thing.' Yewyn said while dismissing her comment with a flick of hand. 'On a side note, I will not hold back during our sparring matches. Your enemies won't do so either. After the second phase we will cover basic weapon skills and we will begin steeling your mind as to prepare you for use of magic. Then you will choose a weapon to specialise yourself in and we'll start with basic magic. The last phase of the training will consist of mastering both mind and body so you'll be able to chain magic into your melee combos. During our training you will call me master and treat me with the respect my skill deserves. I will do the same according to your abilities.'

'That sounds fair enough.'

'After we are done with our daily training you'll educate me in the history and customs of your world and I'll do the same for mine. Should help me to blend in more and it will prepare you for certain situations as well. How long do you think it is to Cinnabar from here?'

'Shouldn't take too long. You can already see the volcano's smoke on the horizon we should get there at noon.'

'I'm going to have to find some new clothes that are practical for both travel and combat. Do you know a place that has that there?'

'No, but Blaine might know.'

'Who's Blaine?'

'He's the gym leader of Cinnabar Island. Just like I'm the gym leader of Fuchsia city.' Seeing the slight confusion on Yewyn's face she explained him how the Pokémon League worked.

'In name government is the boss, but the real power lies with the League and the Pokémon professors.' Janine said with pride in her voice.

'But then aren't you running from your responsibilities?' Yewyn asked. 'How will they react if they find out you're gone?'

'They won't. My gym is full of other trainers disguised like me. I usually go out and do other, more useful things, and no one ever noticed. Well, maybe my dad, but he approves of me exploring life.'

'He sounds like a good person.'

'He is. And he's strong too. He's one of the Indigo Plateau Elite Four.'

Yewyn whistled through his teeth. 'Then I got why you haven't been able to beat him yet.'

'Rub it in will you.'

'Sorry.'

It was slightly after noon when the two travellers stepped onto the beach of Cinnabar Island.

'Alright Janine, you go find Blaine, then I'll go look for an inn or something like that.'

'How am I supposed to find you when I don't know where you will be.'

'You're a ninja. You'll think of something.' After having said this Yewyn walked into town leaving Janine to her own devices. The town was unlike anything he had seen before. It was like a Goblin city if they'd give a damn about the environment. Everything was clean, tall and technologically advanced. Vehicles were zipping around on tarmac roads. Yewyn spotted something that looked like an inn (Apparently it was called a café.) and sat down by a table. A waiter came by to ask him what he wanted to drink. Yewyn said he wanted a Cinnabar speciality, preferably cooled. Paying for the drink proved a bit more difficult as his gold wasn't a viable currency on this world. So he asked the angry manager to wait a moment, compressed his coins with his bare hands into ingots, leaned back into his chair while the manager was dumbfounded that he had just been paid in pure gold and enjoyed a cold yet spicy drink in the tropical sun.

He was starting to like this world.
