A/N: Here's another Loud House/Pokemon crossover story. This time I'm setting it in Unova with Lincoln, Lucy, and Sam as the main characters. This it's gonna be a Sam x Lincoln story, but it's going to be a slow burn story. So don't expect anything right away. No harem, no girls from Pokemon anime. I'm doing this because a lot of the stories of Sam x Lincoln always include them with someone else. Whether it is his sisters or a bunch of random other girls (mostly Luna). Just in case anyone wants to know, this takes place not too long after the episode L is for Love.
Disclaimer: I do not own anything, I make no money or profit from this.
Chapter 0: Being Summoned By A God
A 12 year old Lincoln Loud found himself waking up floating in a dark void. He wasn't in his pajamas. He was wearing a white outdoor cap, orange zipper jacket with white stripes black skinny jeans, and black short boots with orange laces.
"Where am I?" He said to himself, looking around. "Is this a dream?" He pinched himself and felt pain, realizing he wasn't in a dream. He then noticed the clothing he was wearing. "What's with these clothes?"
"Lincoln? Is that you?" A monotone voice asked from behind him, scaring him. He turned around to see his 9 year old sister floating behind him. She was wearing a purple headband, black cobweb dress, white tights and black Mary Jane shoes.
"Lucy?! What are you doing? And why did you have to scare me?" Lincoln asked, trying to calm his beating heart.
"I don't know, I just woke up here," she replied, ignoring his last question. "Why are we in this clothing? Not that I hate them," she asked, looking over her outfit.
"Hey you two! Do you know what's going on?" A new voice called out to them, scaring both Loud children. They looked behind them to see a 16 year old girl floating towards them. She had long blonde hair with a teal streak in her bangs. She was wearing a chain necklace, white cut-off shorts, black tank top, and all white shoes. "Wait, your Luna's siblings, right?"
"Yeah, and your Sam from the Moon Goats!" Lincoln replied, shocked at seeing his sister's bandmate.
"What are you doing here?" Lucy asked the older girl.
"I have no clue, or how I got in these clothing," Sam replied, before putting on a depressed and worried expression. "You two probably hate me right?" She asked sadly, not looking at them.
"Hate you?" Lincoln asked, confused.
"Why would you ask us that?" Lucy asked, equally confused.
"Because I turned down Luna's confession," Sam replied looking more depressed.
"Gasp, you're that Sam!" Lucy said surprised, although her voice remained monotone. "That's why she's been so depressed these last few days."
"Why did you reject her?" Lincoln asked in a concerned voice. "Was it because she was a girl?"
"No! It wasn't that! I'm Bi!" Sam quickly said in a panicked voice, before covering her mouth. She didn't know if they knew what that meant and didn't want to be the one explaining it. "I mean no, that wasn't the reason."
"Then what was the reason?" Lucy asked the rocker.
"Me and Luna have been friends for a long time," Sam started with a sigh. "We have good chemistry together as friends. However, if we bring love and romance into it, I'm scared it might mess all that up."
"Isn't that already happening?" Lincoln asked her. Knowing his sister hasn't left her room for the last couple of days.
"Yeah, you're right," Sam replied in a depressed tone. Luna hasn't talked to her since she rejected her confession. "But what if we go out and it doesn't work out? What if one of us sees something that makes the other so jealous, they force the other to do something unspeakable or chases them out of town?!"
"That is oddly specific," Lincoln replied with a conflicted expression.
"It's not just that," she continued, ignoring his comment. "I just never felt that way about her. I always saw her as a rockin' musician and awesome friend. However, I never saw her as a potential girlfriend, only as a friend."
"I guess that makes sense," Lucy said, thinking about what she was told.
"I don't like that you hurt my sister," Lincoln started with a frown. "But I can understand. It's not fair to you or Luna if you're both not committed to the relationship, or if it's only one-sided."
"Thanks for understanding," Sam said to the both of them with a grateful smile.
"Now that you have settled things, it's time for me to explain why I summoned you," a two tone voice said from all around them. Suddenly there was a bright flash of light, before something appeared in front of them. It was a huge white four legged creature with a gold ring floating around its midsection. The three humans just looked at the creature with shocked, scared, and awed expressions.
"Greetings, I am Arceus, God of the Pokemon world," the creature said. Its voice was a deep male and smooth female voice talking in unison. "I'm the one to summon you here and give you the clothing you are currently wearing."
"Um, what are you?" Lincoln asked with a mixture of fear and amazement.
"I am a Pokemon," the Alpha Pokemon replied. It saw they were about to ask more questions, so it spoke first to stop them. "Please let me explain, all your questions will be answered." The three nodded and stayed silent to listen.
"I come from a world completely different from your own," Arceus started to explain. "In my world, humans and Pokemon live in harmony. However, sometimes humans try to use or misuse Pokemon for their own gain or greed. Such events are about to happen in a place in my world called Unova. Normally I would send one of my chosen ones there to stop such events from happening. Unfortunately, something terrible has happened to my selected chosen one and they can't stop it."
"Sorry for interrupting," Sam spoke up in a fearful and uncertain voice. "But what does any of this have to do with us?"
"I need you three to be my new chosen ones," Arceus replied, in a calm tone. This got wide eyed expressions from the three humans. "I cannot send any of my other chosen ones to Unova, since they'll never make it in time. So I needed to find a replacement immediately. When I couldn't find one, I started to look in other worlds. Then I found all three of you, and foresaw you three being the ones to save my world. I need you to travel across Unova as trainers doing the gym challenge. Along the way you will eventually run into the people that threaten the Pokemon world. Be advised, only one of you needs to actually do the gym challenge. The other two I hope would be there for support."
"Why us specifically," Lucy asked the large Pokemon. "I can understand picking me and Lincoln together, but why Sam? Why not have one of our other sisters?" While she didn't mean to be rude or negative about it, this question did hurt Sam. It made her feel like they didn't want her around.
"I assure you, Ms. Sharp plays an important part," Arceus replied. "I can't disclose how, but it's important." It then lowered its head and bowed to the three humans. "I'm desperate, I'm begging right now. Please help me save the Pokemon world."
All three youths looked at each other with uneasy expressions. They didn't know what to do. They had a literal God bowing and pleading to them to help save its world.
"What about our families?" Lincoln asked the Alpha Pokemon. "They're going to notice us being gone."
"While you are in my world, I will temporarily block all memories of you three from everyone you know," Arceus replied, lifting its head. They all gasped in shock. "This is to minimize the amount of distress they will feel, I don't want them to worry about your sudden disappearance. Once you save my world, I will remove the block and send you back home."
"What about our stuff?" Lucy asked, concerned about her bust of Edwin.
"All your possessions will remain," Arceus replied. "However, they will have no memory of how they got them or why." It then started to bow to them again. "So I will ask you three, will you be my chosen ones to save the Pokemon world?"
All three looked at each other again, before Lincoln put on a determined expression. "I'll do it," he said, surprising the other two.
"Are you serious dude?" Sam asked him in a stunned voice.
"What about our family?" Lucy asked him, concerned.
"I am and I don't want to leave them," he replied, looking at both of them. "But this sounds like an awesome adventure! Besides…" he looked down in sadness. "…I wouldn't mind getting away for a while. My confession to Paige didn't work out as well. I wouldn't mind some time away from home."
"Well, when you put it like that…" Sam said thinking. "…Maybe this is a good idea. If I'm there, then Luna won't remember me and it might help her."
"Sigh, I guess I'll go as well," Lucy said, joining the two. "While I won't be able to watch my The Vampires of Melancholia, going to another world sounds interesting."
"I'm grateful to all of you," Arceus said, lifting its head. "I have prepared everything for your journey, starting with this." Its eyes glowed golden and all three humans grabbed their heads in pain.
"What was that all about?" Sam asked, letting go of her head after the pain vanished.
"I telepathically gave you all the information you'll need about my world, as well as information and gifts to help you along your journey," Arceus replied, eyes going back to normal. Three hiking backpacks then appeared in front of them. One was black, one was orange, and the last one was white. "Inside these bags is extra clothing and gear to help you on your journey. I will be sending you outside of Nuvema Town. You will go to that town and see Professor Juniper, then you'll get your starter Pokemon from her."
"She'll just give us a Pokemon?" Lucy asked skeptically.
"Also, what's with our clothing?" Sam asked, gesturing to all three of them.
"I have manipulated things so you three are registered to get a starter Pokemon from her," Arceus replied to the goth, before looking at the musician. "Do you dislike the outfits I picked for you?" It asked with a head tilt.
"I like it," Lincoln replied with a smile, putting on the orange backpack.
"This does suit me," Lucy answered, putting on the black backpack.
"It's alright," Sam said with uncertainty, wearing the white backpack. "I would've preferred pants and maybe a jacket. However I don't hate this look or style."
"I'm glad, now one last thing," Arceus said, before three small orbs of lights appeared before them. The lights faded revealing three identical white cell phones that look like Arceus. "I have taken your phones from your world and turned them into Arc Phones. They do everything they could before, except contact your families, with two new functions. The first function is they will act as a Pokedex for you to use on your journey. The second function is that they will allow you to check in on your family back in your world. It also has a map of the Unova region on it, so you won't get lost."
"So we still will get to see them?" Lincoln asked in a hopeful tone.
"Yes, but you will only see them, you won't be able to interact with them," Arceus replied as the three new chosen ones started to glow golden. "Now go and save the Pokemon world…and thank you." The golden light enveloped them and they disappeared from the void, to begin their new journey in Unova.
A/N: Just in case people want to know. Lincoln is wearing Calum's outfit from X and Y. Lucy is wearing the Hex Maniac outfit from generation 6. Sam is wearing the Punk Girl outfit from Sun and Moon, minus the hat.
