Disclaimer: I do not own Batman or Pokemon.


It was just another day in Gotham City.

Things have really changed for the better in Gotham City, ever since Police officer James Gordon became police commissioner. Thanks to him and a mysterious vigilante known as Batman, who some believe is not real, the city has never felt safer in the many years it has been established.

For the first time in forever, the citizens of Gotham City felt like they could walk the streets of night without having the worry of getting mugged, as many of the two-bit criminals were too scared to go out at nights, out of fear of running into the Dark Knight.

It also help that most of the famous mobsters, corrupt police officers, corrupt politicians, and so on or either in jail or had disappeared from Gotham entirely.

That doesn't mean that the new police force / Batman can take a break. They knew that the new presence of Peace was a fragile one, that could easily be broken if someone decided to make a power moving Gotham's underworld!

That is why deep in his lair, which is known as the batcave, Batman was hard at work.

The vigilante who was dressed head to toe in a bat like costume was monitoring every police frequency, security footage of Blackgate prison, and watching security cameras of local banks. The Dark Knight was hard at work, making sure to stay awake as he looked through every ounce of security footage that was out there.

He had to make sure that Gotham was safe as even though most of the crime bosses were in jail or had disappeared, he knew that some of them would come back and make a power play in the city once more! He had to be ready for when that day arrives, as he knows criminals do not give up their power so easily!

Just then, the sound of an elevator door could be heard opening. At a nearby elevator, a bald man wearing what appeared to be a butler outfit walk towards Batman with cup of coffee on a serving platter.

"Your late night coffee, master Bruce."said the butler as he handed Batman his coffee.

"Thank you, Alfred."said Batman as he took the coffee from the Butler and took a sip.

What many people did not know other than a handful of people was that Batman was none other than famous billionaire playboy Bruce Wayne! He was the only son of Thomas and Martha Wayne, two billionaires who lost their lives 15 years ago to a mugger!

Ten year old Bruce Wayne saw the whole thing and it severely traumatized him. He vowed to fight against crime by becoming the creature that many superstitious criminals fear, the bat! Through rigorous training for the next ten years, Bruce learned a handful of skills that would help him in his crusade to become a symbol that criminals fear!

He learn martial arts in Asia from people like David Cain and Wong Fei.

He learned escape tricks from a master magician known as Zatara.

He learn detective skills from a veteran master detective named Henry Ducard.

He learn how to box from a former superhero who fought in World War II.

He learn hacking skills from Alfred Pennyworth himself, who used to be an MI6 agent.

He learns how to build convoluted gadgets from his father's old friend, Lucius Fox.

With these skills and more, Bruce Wayne went from a grieving little boy to an overall badass! After he finished his long years of training, he returns to Gotham City and fakes a persona of being a loose Playboy who only likes women and having fun, that way no one would ever suspect him of being Batman.

His misdirection has worked until now as anytime someone says he's Batman, people quickly brush it off as they say there's no way of Playboy billionaire whatever put on a costume and beat up criminals at night.

Who in the right mind would ever believe that...

That was an important to Bruce Wayne / Batman at the moment, as currently his gut had a bad feeling that something bad was going to happen... and the worst part is that his gut is usually right!

"Are you still monitoring police chatter, master Bruce?"inquired Alfred, who knew of his employers workaholic tendencies when it came to his other job, besides being the main shareholder of Wayne Enterprises.

"I just have a bad feeling that something bad is going to happen to Gotham."said Batman, having a feeling of dread he has never felt before in his 5-year career as Batman.

"You're sure you're not just being paranoid, master Bruce? I mean most of the criminals who played Gotham are either in jail or have left Gotham entirely."said Alfred, who knew that this was mainly because of the man sitting in front of him.

"Rubert Thorne, Carmine Falcone, and Blask Mask are still out there. I can't let my guard down, since I know that one day come back for their territory."said Batman, who knew that crime bosses could not give up their power so easily.

Especially when it was taken from them!

"It's been months sir, and your sources say they have gone deep underground. I don't think they're going to come back for their territory anytime soon."said Alfred, who knows this as Batman told him well he contacted his sources in the FBI and the CIA.

"I know... last I checked Carmine was somewhere in Italy. Rupert went through Canada, and I still don't know who Black Mask is, so he could still be here and Gotham. He is very careful on who knows his real name and anytime he goes out, he's always wearing that mask over his face."said Batman is he held his coffee close to him.

"Sounds like someone I know."said Alfred, referring to the man who he considers a son.

"I know. I'm probably being paranoid, but Gotham City has always had a problem with the criminal element. I'm worried that someone is going to exploit that, and use that to their own advantage."said Batman, who felt like Gotham was always going to be in danger.

It was like the whole city itself was under a curse!

"I'm sure commissioner Gordon can handle the day-to-day operations. He has made it his mission to weed out the corruption that former commissioner Loeb allowed to seep in. Most of the high-ranking positions in the police department are now filled with police officers he can trust. You yourself did a thorough background check on each of them, and you said each of them was clean."said Alfred, reminding his employer that he made sure that the police department was fixed from the inside out.

"I know... I just feel like with the power vacuum in the Gotham City underworld, someone from outside Gotham might try to take advantage and take over."said Batman, who knew that other crime families were eager to move in to the territory that was left behind when most of the leadership of the Gotham Mafia either went away to jail, or went into hiding.

"Well it's not like you will ever allow that."said Alfred, who knew well that his employer was monitoring the activity of other gangs in different cities.

Like the Intergang, a crime family that was located mainly in Metropolis.

"I can only do so much. Commissioner Gordon is an honest man, and I feel with the officers he's placed in his inner circle, he'll have the power to help me clean Gotham City. The problem is going to take years to clean up this mess, and no matter how many criminals I put away, someone will always take their place.The best I can do right now is keep up the fight and try my very best to make Gotham City a better place."said Batman, who knew the mission was a never-ending battle.

But that doesn't mean he was going to stop trying!

Suddenly the alarms in the batcave went off! Surprising Batman and Alfred. Batman quickly went over to the monitors to see what was happening, and what he heard through the police radio he could not believe.

"This is officer Mike Torres calling into headquarters! We have...well I'm not sure we have a protocol for this but some kind of giant castle appeared in Gotham Bay!"set a police officer through the police frequency.

"I'm sorry, but did you say a giant castle appeared in Gotham Bay?"inquired the police dispatcher.

"That's what I'm saying! Some kind of castle with a rainbow colored R on the front just appeared out of nowhere! Wait... the doors to the castle are opening! A bunch of people wearing these weird uniforms are coming out. FREEZE! PUT THOSE STRANGE BALLS ON THE GROUND AND PUT YOUR HANDS UP IN THE AIR! Wait... what are you doing?! Oh my goodness! What the hell are those things! Dispatch! Call for backup! Whoever these people are the commanding these strangers looking animals! And these animals have superpowers or something! Wait...no... STAY AWAY!!"shout of the police officer before his radio went silent.

"Hello? Hello?! Officer Torres, are you there?!"questions the police dispatcher, but she gets no reply.

"Oh my! Is this is an invasion?!"said Alfred, worried that Gotham might be suffering an alien invasion.

"I don't think so. I'm looking at videos being taken by people right now at the scene, and whoever these people are, they're clearly human! I don't know about those animals that are controlling, but they're using them to advance through the city! I got to get over there right now and put a stop to this!"said Batman, before he put his coffee down and made his way to the batmobile.

"Master Bruce? Are you sure this is a good idea? I mean, you've never faced anything like this before."said Alfred, who knew that his employer only has faced criminals before... not creatures that can breathe fire.

"I have to get over there right now, Alfred! It's clear this is a hostile takeover as they're taking people hostage! I have to find out who is responsible for this and put it into it! That's the only way any of this is going to end!"said Batman, before he jumped into his batmobile and started the ignition.

Once the batmobile heated up a few seconds later, Batman stepped on the gas and began driving said vehicle out of the batcave as fast as it could go! Alfred had a worried look on his face as he had a feeling that this was going to be different from anything Bruce has ever faced.

He was used to taking down horrible people, and the worst of humanity. What he was not used to was facing people who were commanding creatures who can breathe fire, command water, and shoot out electricity!

Was he really going to be okay? Alfred couldn't help but wonder as he saw the batmobile disappear into the darkness.

Meanwhile, Batman had driven the batmobile out of the hidden entrance that led to the batcave. He then began making his way to Gotham Bay as fast as the batmobile would take him! He knew this was some kind of human invasion! He didn't know what they wanted and he didn't care!

All he knew as he had to stop this invasion before they could cover more ground!

He didn't care who these people were or what they wanted! Batman was not about to let them take over his City!


Still deciding on which region to send Bruce Wayne to.

It's harder than I thought as so many Pokemon regions could fit Bruce Wayne in one way or another...

Haaa... I'll just keep thinking about it and see where I go from here.

Hope you enjoy the first official chapter of Batman vs Team Rainbow Rocket!
