Fandom: Pokemon / Detective Pikachu

Prompt: “I never knew it could be this way.”

Rating: T (Though really maybe PG except for one swear)

Trigger Warning: None

Characters: Tim Goodman, Emolga, OC’s Alison Angeles

A/N: These snippets follow after the events of a fanfic I finished called Heart of Gold that can be read in full on AO3 here.

______________________________________________________

“Alison! Jack’s here. So is,” Tim stopped short. The bathroom was empty. He doubled back to his Gram’s room, the last place he’d actually seen her walking to and still nothing.

Gram was still at work cleaning the blood stains from his shirt when he found her. “She said you’re a detective, you can find her.”

She’d turned his romantic, though far less romantic than planned since his friends were tagging along, date into a scavenger hunt.

“She’s never been to Leaventown before, right?” Jack asked after offering to search through her bag like a creep.

Teddy, his other best friend that had left several years ago to study abroad at a tech firm in Sinnoh region, asked, “Maybe she really did need stitches.”

Nope. She would just do that herself and disturb them all and fracture the perfect female image Jack has of her.

“What about calling her?” Jack tossed him the phone sitting on the dresser.

“That’s her phone.” Patting his pockets he realized something was missing. His phone. “Really?” Good thing he knew her password. She had very few apps. One stood out because she thought she was hilarious. ‘Boyfriend finder’. Cute. She had a GPS tracker on his phone. That was creepy.

“Why is she...?” Oh. He was out the door before he knew what he was doing.

Jack and Teddy caught up eventually, out of breath and cursing him as he’d sprinted the entire way to the cemetery.

“When was the last time you were here?” They’d always been hesitant to talk about anything that had to do with his mom. More than any of his friends Jack would broach these tough subjects at ridiculous times or, as was the case now he supposed, wholly appropriate times. And even though this was an appropriate time to ask Tim didn’t answer. The grave was clean. No moss or mildew. The grass around it freshly trimmed. And there his girlfriend sat, tendrils of incense weaving a path around her and a cluster of wild Pokemon. Local Pidgeys, a Tailow, a few Caterpies and Kakunas, even some Butterfree.

Next to her a bucket and rag, a lunch and a blanket. Amber curls falling forward, her head bowed. She was even in a dress.

“I never knew it could be this way.” Tim felt like he was an interloper listening in on a personal conversation. “You would be proud of the man your son grew into.” A Chikorita peered around the gravestone, looking right at Tim as he approached. “He’s...”

“What are you...?” Several Pokemon all jumped with her at the intrusion. “Sorry.”

“Tim!” With little room to maneuver, Pokemon all crowding around them, Em scurried around to shoo them away. “I didn’t expect...I mean...” Her audience had grown to a size she hadn’t expected, including more humans than she’d expected. “What is Jack doing here?”

“I went looking for you when he showed up to go with us to the festival.”

“Ah, oh.” Suddenly hyper aware of herself she started fiddling with her hair, pulling on a curl repeatedly and tucking hair away only to pull it back forward again. All her little tells.

“What is all this?”

“Oh, well, you know where I grew up.” Jack and Teddy had slowly made their way closer, both in ear shot now. Curling her fists into the hem of the dress Alison searched for the right words. “I just thought, you know, that you’d want to visit your mom and, well I wanted to tell her...”

“I don’t really visit.” It came out cold which he didn’t mean.

“Oh.” Her fingers twists in knots, fiddling with the ring he’d given her. “I thought you might...want to pray but...I know you don’t and...” Whatever she’d been about to say he never knew. Abruptly standing and taking the bucket she hurried away with a mumbled, “I should take this back.” All words seemed wrong now, he couldn’t put together a coherent thought even. He was an absolute moron.

Teddy’s voice broke through his tangled thoughts, “She’s from Kanto, huh?”

“How can you tell?” Jack let out a low whistle. The kind he reserved for pretty girls in short skirts and both Teddy and Tim smacked him.

“They have distinct funeral traditions you Pignite.”

Tim tried to find her again. He needed to say something, anything because not saying something felt like utterly screwing up after telling her just earlier in the day that he loved her.

The cemetary’s gardener had a shed in the northern corner where he found her and the entourage of Pokemon bowing slightly and murmuring thanks. Em leading the pack back towards them.

“Don’t touch that!” As if a switch had been flipped she sounded like her normal self once more, slapping Jack’s hand from the sandwich. “It’s for his mom, baka!”

“Strange traditions.” Jack whined like he was genuinely hurt not to have her snack.

“Give us a minute?” The only friend that understood, Teddy dragged Jack by the collar away. Little twitches persisted while she folded the blanket. “I actually haven’t been here since her funeral. Was it...?”

“It wasn’t very over grown. Needed a little,” her fingers fumbled on the blanket and it fell. “Shit.” Taking her warm hands in his Tim guided her back down into the grass with him. Thumb tracing each finger eased her into eventually wrapping herself around him. “I just wanted to....never mind. It’s stupid.”

“I’ve never thought you were stupid.” Sitting together their fingers twined together. He could feel the ring bumping under his thumb with every calming pass. “What were you talking about? With my mom, I mean.”

“Uh.” Every couple breaths, as he continued his passes over her knuckles, her body relaxed, “Just...you.”

Drawing her closer, “What’s this?”

“An offering. It’s rude not to have enough for…”

“Did you have lunch out here?”

He could feel her muscles tense in her arms, “Maybe.”

Entry #2: Fallout Double Nuzlocke

Year- 2274 CE

After the world was destroyed by nuclear weapons where all vaults such as New Bark Town and Pallet Towns had people living underground all their lives. However, at age of 10 years old where the young venture into harsh environment that everything will kill him. Most did not make it, but there’s few became living legends.

Not all life was killed, there was many pokemon were saved during the vaults and often raised as companions for those to venture into the unknown wasteland. Some make it and others did not. In Kanto, Vault Pallet Town has three legendary kids who venture into the unknown where they had faced dreaded Team Rocket, evil Mercenaries who exploited the local populace.

Red is more a melee fighter while Green is a weapon specialist. Blue, however is more thief with a heart of gold. After meeting the Brotherhood of Steel Kanto Chapter, they have defeated Team Rocket who under payroll of Enclave. The three decided to become merchants and venture into the wildness and helping out others despite both Red and Green wonder why Blue is ripping other merchants off.

Year- 2277 CE

Three years after the Kanto event, Johto is about to receive its own heroes. Vault New Bark town has three kids who lived in the vault except for one who want to leave the vault. Gold, Crystal, and Lyra were those heroes who were about to enter the dreaded wasteland.

It all happen when Crystal’s mother went out of the vault and Crystal decides to go after her only for Gold and Lyra to enter the wasteland with their companions. They saw Johto is now scarred wasteland where they must face various mutated creatures especially mutated fusion Pokemon, raiders, slavers, and Team Rocket Remnant. The trio strumble upon a certain red hair individual wearing power armor named Silver. He was looking for his teacher, Lance who founded Brotherhood of Steel Johto chapter.

They continue their adventure into the ruins of Goldenrod city to Blackthorn settlement. In this AU, all gymleaders are mayors of what’s left of civilizations. The Team Rocket remnants are hunting the trio as they discover that Silver is no other than son of Giovanni, leader who was defeated by Kanto heroes. Silver swore to bring them down.

During their time in Maghoney town, they stopped Team Rocket’s plans to continue mutate magikarp and save Lance from the clutches of Team Rocket. He offers them intel of their operations during the past three years since their supposed disband. Lance leaves with Silver, but Lyra wants to tag along as well. Lance takes Lyra as a new recuit. Gold makes a comment that Lyra has a thing for Silver.

After strumble upon Olivine City, Gold and Crystal found Crystal’s mother was working a project to restore environment from nuclear fallout been around for 200 years. However, enclave with support of Team Rocket arrived to take the project and claimed it for their own. Brotherhood of Steel appear and saved the heroes and Crystal’s mother as they fled away from them.

They went to their headquarters in Blackthorn that they have set up operations. Crystal’s mother has told them about the information, but need supplies and equipment to make it happen. All items that was needed was from Professor Oak in Vault Pallet Town. Crystal’s mothers beg Crystal to go there and retrieve the items. Crystal accepts the mission, but Gold volunteers to help her out.

Lyra helps out the project as she becomes a scribe for Brotherhood of Steel Johto. Crystal worries that she might messed up, but confident that she will do fine on her own. Both Gold and Crystal go into the Kanto region as yet the unknown danger awaits for them. Along the way, they have met both Green and Blue who tells the duo that Red had disappeared three years ago and nobody has ever seen him.

They reach to Vault Pallet Town as Professor Oak told them about the project that Crystal’s mother was working on, but his machine was taken to Mt. Silver, where it used to be a military installation by United States during time of Sino-American War. Then he said about Red was taken over by a mysterious being which both Blue and Green mention something that during their adventures that Enclave given a task to Team Rocket to create a Pokemon bioweapon under their control.

Then radio was heard that Team Rocket is trying to reach Giovanni as they stated that enclave is coming to give Team Rockets weapons and power armor. No time to lose, they heard to Radio Tower in Goldenrod city ruins where they fought Team Rocket and their enclave allies. After defeating Archer and Silver found Giovanni.

Gold and Crystal told Brotherhood about Mt. Silver was once a military base and the machine build by Oak is there. As they venture into the mountain only to find more mutated pokemon, they entered the heart of the fortress where it was holding massive treasure of weapons, power armor, medical supplies, and vast food stockpile reserves to feed army of 10,000 for ten years. Gold collected good weapons and got his hands on older, but efficient power armor. Crystal was looking into computer files only to find that Oak and her parents were researchers for project Ho-Oh.

They wanted to use Ho-Oh’s ability sacred Ash to recover the lands was destroyed by Nuclear weapons. However, things went wrong as the recording is showing figure destroying the lab with its pokemon. The video ends with a startling with fear and horror. There was a slight chill in other side of the lab as it reveals way to the top of the mountain. What’s way ahead of them was that figure is no other than Red who is taken over by Bioweapon, Mewtwo.

They both managed to defeated Mewtwo and saved Red on time. They found the machine within the lab as they managed to take it back to Blackthorn as they managed to help the machine to produce little of Sacred Ash. Next step was to use the ash on Ho-Oh who died during the Great War. Ho-Oh was recovered and fly all over the lands to help recover the lands was scarred by nuclear war.

Bonus side- Enclave prank

During their time in Kanto, Gold and Crystal are looking into the research complex where Crystal is using the computer into the files. Gold comes in as he trying to look for more stuff.

“This sucks. This place has barely any stuff for valuable.” Gold whined.

“Well, all science books are more worth than caps. I need to go another room. Don’t touch anything. I will be back.” Crystal said as she heads to the next room. Gold being Gold decides to type into the PC as he turns on to find various codes until suddenly…

“Enclave here. Why isn’t your video feed working?” Enclave soldier wondered as the video appear before him. This gives Gold an idea since his face not appear before him.

“We’re working on the visual link right now. I just wanted to test it.” Gold replied which Enclave is curious to know why.

“Well, your unit still doesn’t appear to be operational,, Pal. Who is this?” Enclave soldier is wondering why this doesn’t make any sense. This gives Gold an idea to give a response.

“I’m Chosen One.” Gold smiled as he looks away.

“Chosen One, huh? Well, uh, pardon me for not blowing shushine up your ass, but I’m little too busy for this your highness.” Enclave got annoyed by that remark.

“Uh, I meant I was the one *chosen* to fix the comm-unit. Seems like nothing works anymore.” Gold responded as it was true that he has to deal with electronics on daily basis.

“Huh, ain’t it the truth. Just don’t let anyone who’s got the President’s ear hear that. You’ll making cattle-runs to New Reno ‘til the end of time, pal.” Enclave soldier doesn’t want to deal with his boss.

“president?” Gold wondered.

“Yea, you know how unhappy he gets when people complain. He takes it personal, like it’s loyalty thing. Maybe that just goes with being President of the United States. Or what’s left of ‘em.” Enclave soldier remembered as how President complains and bitches about everything.

“The President of the United States?” Gold asked again which it might be a good response.

The President of the United-Fucking-States of-America. Who’d you think I was talking about? Who the fu - who is- What - I should kick your fucking ass, who is this?“ Enclave soldier is confused of the question which he’s enraged about this.

“You’re not important enough got that information.” Gold said as he’s just trolling with him.

“Oh? A wise guy, huh? Look, I’m tracing you right now, pal. We’ll see how smart you feel with internal security all over fucking ass, dickhead.” Enclave soldier is not lying on that part as it made Gold pissed off about it.

“I’ve got your trace for you, and I can show you just where to shove it.” Gold remarked which Enclave soldier least surprise by it.

“Ah, a few more moments and I’ll have your sorry ass in a sling. Hey, wait a minute. This can’t be right.. I’ve got you somewhere on Japan.”

“That can’t be right. I’m at the comm desk right across the hall from you…” Gold said as Enclave soldier suddenly realized what he meant.

“Made you look. What a rube.” Gold laughed his ass off which only enraged him except something hit him in the screen.

“I’ve got you, at Kanto region, Bill’s lab. Ah, well, why don’t you just sit tight and I” order up a little celebration for ya. Including fireworks.“ Enclave soldier got the trace on him which Gold gulped.

“Oh, goodie. I just lo-ove fireworks. Send me a lot.” Gold remarked that he hopes to grab more stuff.

“Yeah well, whoever you are, I just dispatched a verti-assault team to your location. Have a nice day.” Enclave mentions it which Gold begs to wonder.

“And what are they going to do?” Gold begs the question.

“Usually they just go in shooting. They let someone else sit though the ashes to figure out what was going on.” Enclave soldier described on what they do.

“Oh, now you’ve got me all scared, I need to change my undies.” Gold sarcastic responded which nothing guffs the soldier.

"Goodbye. Next news on you will be when I read the after-action report.“ Enclave hopes they kill him.

"Hey, you just went on my list.” Gold swore he’s next on his list to kill for his pokemon to do.

Several minutes later

Both Gold and Crystal are trapped by Enclave soldiers who ambushed the duo. Crystal looks at him wondering what caused this to happen.

“What did you do!?!” Crystal shouted as they fight back against Enclave soldiers.
