When Life Gives You Lemons...

[Deleted]

(March 19th; open to all members on the Critics side)

...you make lemonade

Liz Lemon was not happy. Firstly, she had no idea how she ended up in Chicago in the first place, second she was without a coat to fend herself from the nip of the late winter air that dominated the windy city, and she was famished. "Whatever stunt those idiots pulled this time...ughhh they'll all have chins by the time I'm done with them." The brunette muttered, arms close to her torso for warmth. Of course, Liz went to shifting the blame on her wiring staff, they were usually jerks in her eyes, but they weren't this crazy, let alone committed enough to pull a stunt like this. She began to debunk the theory, and then she began to recall the events of the previous night.

"Wait. The party," A puff of air escaped her mouth. She had vague memory of what had occurred, but she recalled vague details here and there. It was a party to celebrate an episode well done. Everyone was there, Jack, Jenna, Tracy...wait he could've had something to do with this. Totally. She did remember stuffing her face and getting very, very intoxicated before blacking out completely and waking up here back in the city where her career began.

I mean, how...why...and who?" She played the baffled detective role in her mind before a sudden caught her by surprise, yiping in surprise. After a groan and some cursing about the Midwestern wind, she did the logical thing-decided to call Jack. "Yeah Jack, he's gotta know something." Liz was very well aware that the scheming executive could've plotted the idea out, he did occasionally send her out to fulfil tasks in other cities, only usually he told her before sending her on her way.

"What the-" That was odd. The number did work, she did make a call to New York, but it wasn't Jack who picked up the phone. When she discovered that it wasn't she tried to call several other numbers of colleagues; Pete, Kenneth; even Jenna. None of them reached their respective owners. "Okay. Who's ever idea of a joke this is, guess what? It's not funny." She spoke loudly, certainly loud enough to get some attention.

[Spoony]

(OCC: Will bring in some new characters plus ones that are still human. For now, here's spoony!)

Spoony was the one to hear that woman's protest of anger. He was, after all, probably the only one on edge and making sure of other people coming nearby for the moment. He knew some people were being helpful as much as they could but not by much. Snob, if he were here instead of Roses' place due to wanting to help there, would probably tell the yeller to shut up. But Spoony wasn't like that, well not at the moment he wasn't. He went from the front yard and went over to the woman and asked "Hey! You alright?" Something told him she wasn't in Chicago for a stroll. Something about her told him she was actually forced here and had no idea why.

"You need help? I'm Spoony. You're lost I take it" He asked, trying to fetch for a story with this woman.

[Deleted]

"Huh?" The television writer whirled around to see Spoony, her mouth hanging open to speak. Liz was about ask the same question he asked her so her mouth currently hung from her jaw, mainly because she had nothing else to say and partially due to this man's incredible intuition...or maybe it just a lucky guess on his behalf.

"Wait...uh yeah." Liz cleared her throat and huddled her arms closer for warmth. "How did you know? You know, that I'm lost? I mean, was it that obvious?" A weak chuckle and a poor attempt at a joke escaped her mouth. "Anyway guy, do you think you can tell me where the closet bus station is? I need to get back to New York as soon as possible." That's when it occurred to her that she had a show to run. "Craapppp." She exclaimed mentally. There was no way Pete would be able to hold things down by himself, if there was going to be a show this week. She groaned and slapped her forehead. "Great. Just great, first I somehow for God knows what reason here in Chicago. Now I have to get back home by tonight if there's gonna be a show. Perfect. Just perfect." She sighed and looked back at the man. "Sorry, I just really really need to get to the nearest train or bus station. It's kind of a big emergency."

[Spoony]

(OCC: Tempted to scare Liz by having Rum Tum prank her. But like I said. Gotta let her glide into this. So just spoony for now unless chick brings his character's in lol)

The woman was definitely not from around here. She was demanding for a bus for one thing. Damn. And she didn't even remember why she was here. Double damn. How could he explain to her? How could he say 'hey you're transported here and can't leave' without sounding crazy? Well you couldn't to be honest.

"Um. Because you're wandering the streets. Just saw you nearby and you seemed like you were lost is all" Glide her into it spoony, he thought. Glide her in. "We may or may not have a problem getting you to a bus station. If you're here unwillingly. You didn't just pop here. Someone forced you to" Spoony facepalmed before responding "Look. You probably won't believe me but I think you got transported here.. And you probably won't go back to where you came from until we find a way to get you back without getting hurt"

[Deleted]

(ooc: Lawl, feel free to do so whenever. I don't mind!)

Liz raised an eyebrow at the man's first statement. "Forced..transported?" She blinked hard several times, trying to wrap her head around this. What was the problem? All she needed to do was find a way to get back to the city somehow, what was the challenge in that? "Right, and what's so hard about telling me where the nearest bus, train, whatever station is?" She huffed, growing impatient by the second. Whoever this guy was, Liz suspected he was slightly off his rocker as she rolled her eyes. "Whatever. I need to get home. I have a show to run." She walked pass Spoony, determined to get the Big Apple one way or another.

[Rum Tum Tugger]

(OCC: Temptation was too strong anyway. Here ya go! Surprise Liz!)

Spoony knew from her expressions that he was going absolutely no where. Naturally she didn't believe him, in fact was rather frustrated with him. Due to suffering this damn war longer than she, his patience was much longer than hers was. So when she walked past him he immediately shouted "Wait! You don't understand. They probably won't let you! Hold on! You have to believe me! You..." He then saw a cat, larger than any cat he saw and a cat that looked very similar to a human, come over. Immediately Spoony was shocked by the cat-man that he just stopped talking and allowed the cat to speak for him. It didn't seem to hard since the cat-man immediately got acquainted with the both of them.
XXXXX

Rum Tum's instincts were rather curiouser than he. He followed a green light, and unlike Liz who wanted to leave, he was rather inclined to stay. He lurked in the bushes, listening to the two humans with such amusement. He found humans to be quite interesting. Not enough to be adopted by them mind you, if he wanted to be adopted, he would've a long time ago. No, he was more interested them the way humans were interested in the aquarium. He saw them as things to make fun of or entertain himself with. Naturally he felt he wished to stay with these two to see what would happen. He grinned with slyness as Liz demanded to leave, saying something about having a show to run.

Show? Ooooh. Rum Tum was a born entertainer. This was something he liked. He then jumped out of the bushes and quickly glided over to the woman, putting his arm on her as if leaning. He grinned and responded with excitement "If you're so desperate to get back to your show, then it probably sucks. Perhaps you need better performers. That's where I come in" He growled with delight and purred to the woman "I am a natural performer. The cats love me. Rum Tum Tugger they call me. How are ya, sissy?"

[Deleted]

"Believe what?" She shot back, wheeling around. "Look pal, I don't what you're on right now, or how I even got here to begin with...but I don't have the time to figure that out right now." She concluded, about to walk away if it weren't for Rum Tum's interference.

"Whoa!" Liz exclaimed a jumped back slightly as the tom cat leaned against her, feeling off edge as her personal space was violated. "What the hell?" She questioned mentally to what appeared to be a man dressed like a cat. She furrowed her brows and scrunched her face at his comment. "Sucks? That's flattering coming from a guy dressed like a cereal mascot reject." She snarked, proud of her little comeback. As far as performers went, he was probably right on that part. There was no doubt that Tracy and Jenna were talented at their jobs, but she knew for sure that it was tedious work casting them as the show's only two actors. Sure, there was Danny and she herself did act in a few skits if either Tracy or Jenna were acting up, but that was about it. Either way, without Jack's word she was in no position to hire new actors in spite of her protests, and besides who was this guy?

"Liz. Liz Lemon. The creator and head writer of The Girlie Show with Tracy Jordan." She spoke back with acid words that fit her name appropriately. That's when it hit her. Rum Tum Tugger; wasn't that the name of one of the characters from that musical about cats or something? She'd heard of it, but never had the chance to see it. "Wait, wait, I know you. Yeah, aren't you one of those cats from that Broadway show?" She knew it was an easy name to remember, but memory was failing her at the moment as she pointed at the feline. "Heh. Had no idea the show was touring again. Cool."

[Rum Tum Tugger]

Spoony was admittedly shocked to see her so impatient with him, but it didn't stop him. Seeing a opening when the two calmed down as Rum Tum introduced himself. Rather rudely admittedly. "I know you too. You were... quite interesting" Or more or less physical to the point of annoyance. Yet since Rum Tum was slightly taller and had claws, Spoony didn't feel it was right to say that.

He then responded with nervousness "He's not from the show. He's the real Rum Tum Tugger. And please listen" Spoony insisted sharply. He then quickly responded "Look a scientist by Dr. Insano invented a machine to transport people from anywhere. Cartoons, theatre shows, tv, films, anything. Dr. Insano did this because some idiot named Ask Thatguy wants to take over everything and will enslave anyone to do it. That's why you're here! You can't go back because Dr. Insano probably trapped you here"

After all of that he breathed, not very happy to be the only one to have to explain this. He calmed down slightly and responded "I don't expect you to believe me right away but you should just come with me. I can prove it to you. And you should probably come too Rum Tum. You're just screaming attention"
XXXXXX

"Oooooh. You're impressed? I like you" Rum Tum responded as Liz exclaimed confusion, more amused than ever. The snark coming from this girl was actually quite endearing. He then puffed his chest in delight as Liz snarked to him "Wow. Only a few seconds to come up with a comment about my looks. Impressive. That dumb kid Mungojerrie would've laughed his tail off for it" Rum Tum chuckled, his body slowly waltzing around her, somewhat similar to a cat trying to look for a mate. He went around her some more as she spitefully introduced herself, his smile a little more predatory than before. Well, he wasn't interested in her, but she wasn't bad looking. For a human that is.

"Pleasure to meet you... Liz lemon. Yuck. Lemons taste disgusting" Rum Tum then laughed at that, his body jolting a bit back as he did so. He was VERY physical as many could tell. He then perked up as Liz remembered him. He actually grew less amused and more pleased... Until she asked if he was in a whatever show. He at first was about to express a question. Then he remembered Gus the theatre cat then responded with relief "Oh! No. They wouldn't let me go near those humans. They think I'm diseased filth. Shame. I'd rock the house" As he said that he began to wiggle himself in a circle with his hips, purring with excitement.

"Yeah. I'm real. Want me to prove it?" He winked to them both, flirtatiously. He then listened to Spoony explain that Liz, and maybe himself, was transported by a scientist. Dr. Insano? Strange name. For a strange human probably. He then nodded when Spoony was finished and was told he was screaming attention "Well no duh, man. I'm not wasting my good looks. But sure, why not?" He then turned to the girl and replied "He may be not right or maybe crazy but let's give it a shot. Even a broken clock is right twice"

[Deleted]

"Blargh." She groaned in disgust, giving in to her signature eye roll. Surprisingly, her eyes didn't pop out of her sockets like the doctor said. "Haha, hilarious." She stretched her last word as a response to Rum Tum's comment about lemons, brown orbs scanning the anthropomorphic cat and his physical sensations. Liz was about to add more until Spoony spoke about, giving what should've been a clearer explanation, instead it just confused her further.

"What." That was the only word that came out of her mouth, trying to wrap her head around this guy's words. Not she was certain that he had to be tripping on something. Wanting nothing to do with this and desperate to get back home, she slowly began to back away from the pair until Rum Tum spoke up again. A sigh escaped her as she placed an irritated hand on her head. "Fine, whatever. If it'll get me home faster. I'll follow you." She admitted temporary defeat. "And I swear this better not be a waste of time, or so help me..."

[Rum Tum Tugger]

Spoony's face was slightly relieved Liz and Rum Tum were willing enough to not run off. Spoony eventually leaded the two to Critic's place. "This is.. well.. not my place. It's my friend's Critic's. Anyway, let me go find the footage. Thank you Linkara and your weird planning" He mumbled that linkara comment before he remembered something. The two WERE guests at the moment "Yeah, you both may wanna take a seat. Right there. Let me go get the footage in the mean time" He guided the two to the living room couch before running off.

He eventually came back with a dvd. A dvd titled "Footage" aptly. He quickly put it in, sat down and allowed the footage to speak for him. It was somewhat amateurish film but it was the best they had. It was a battle. A small battle but a battle nonetheless. Facilier, Rita Repulsa, some cartoon characters both from critic's side and facilier's side were there, then there was a man in a labcoat shouting 'Dr. Insano will destroy you all' before trying to shoot them all. Eventually the footage ended and Spoony coughed "Now you believe me or do you need more information?"
XXXXX

"Glad to see you more agreeable sissy" Rum Tum replied, smiling slyly. He then followed the two humans and chuckled as Spoony nervously showed them around. He then was guided to a couch, Rum Tum purred and made himself incredibly comfortable. Feet on the table, crossed, his arms widened, oh he definitely was going to like it here. Definitely. This was much nicer than his old pad in the alley. "He's a bit antsy but I dig him. Nice guy for a human" He commented to Liz, not caring if she cared what he said. He then chuckled as Spoony came back before seeing the footage. His amusement plummeted faster than a rock down a cliff. All the footage showed quite a lot of chaos. Destruction. It was like macavity only worse. He then looked to Spoony and responded "You may not be tripping on catnip after all. Damn. This looks serious"

"I think we should believe him. This seems proof enough" Rum Tum was now incredibly serious. Drama caused that. Rum Tum was a funlover but he knew when things were serious. Drama was something of no laughing matter and this was certainly dramatic.

[Brock Harrison & Pokemon]

Brock was standing in the back yard feeding some of his Pokemon. Thanks to the sorcerers and scientists in the group they'd found a way to camoflage the back yard so he didn't have to always take them to the woods. And with magic they could repair anything if something got hurt. He didn't like keeping his Pokemon cooped up all the time so this worked out great. Thanks to Linksano and the others he was able to reproduce Pokemon food here and he was glad his Pokemon were ok. He still missed Ash, Pikachu, Misty, his family, and everyone else but he was stuck here and he wasn't sure when he'd go back. He paused looking up seeing Dean and nodded.

"Yeah. I mean we don't really have any animals in our world except fish and Pokemon. Fish is what we mostly eat. Pokemon we capture to be our friends. And to help us in various fields. Doctors, nurses, or scientists who study and take care of Pokemon. Pokemon breeders, Pokemon trainers, even cops have pokemon. It's just such a part of our world." said Brock.

He paused looking at Grimhilde and remembered Jasmine had returned to them. He was so grateful she'd used her last wish to bring her here. He and Kim had felt guilty for getting away when she had gotten captured. But then Bruce had disappeared the day before and they still couldn't find him. Many of them feared he'd gone after Facilier. They just hoped he was okay.

XXXX

Dean walked out and started stretching a bit on the porch. He wasn't still used to his new teenager body. That spell had shrunk him to a teen and he'd found himself being protected a lot by Sam. He was saying he was younger and his body couldn't handle as much as when he was older. He knew that was probably true but he didn't like it. He was supposed to protect Sam not the other way around. He smiled at Brock and saw the Pokemon. He was quite curious about them.

"So these are really creatures in your world?" asked Dean.

He listened more intrigued by the minute.

"That sounds so cool. Some of them definitely look like animals I'm used to but they don't have the powers these guys do." said Dean.

XXXX

Grimhilde walked out next with a grin. She smiled seeing the Pokemon. She hadn't seen such magnificent creatures before and they were always wonderful to see. Brock usually took them out to the forest but now he could have them eat and exercise in the backyard. And she liked that.

"Hello boys. These Pokemon are such magnificent creatures." said Grimhilde.

She had been spending most of her time with Maleficent, Diablo, or Ace lately. Jasmine was in the medical wing recovering from her ordeal and she was glad to have her back after all this time.

XXXX

Linksano and Marzgurl were the next to walk out. Linksano was talking about one of his latest inventions while Marzgurl was trying to pay attention.

"And when it was finished we were able to shield the back yard from prying eyes. Hopefully this means Ask That guy and Facilier can't see in here as well." said Linksano.

He smiled marveled at the creatures. He'd also done it for Starscream. He knew the robot was big and besides the woods he now had more room to walk around here at the house. He agreed with Grimhilde's words. He was also glad Jasmine was back but was worried about Bruce.

"Yes they are. I'm glad my invention was a success." said Linksano.

"Perhaps we could extend this to our house and Roses's house too. She has some guests that would be nice to run in the backyard as well." said Marzgurl.

She paused hearing voices inside realizing Spoony was talking with someone. She wasn't aware there were new members yet and just figured he was talking with Goggles or one of the others. She turned leaning in and shouting out to him.

"Hey Spoony. A bunch of us are out here on the back porch if you want to come join us." said Marzgurl.

[Deleted]

With much hesitation, the brunette followed Spoony and the cat to this 'Critic's home. Naturally, Liz was skeptical about the man's claims, after all while incidents like this were everyday fare back in the big city, she never recalled incidents like this during her time in Chicago. Well, unless Jenna dragged her to one of her usual clubs. She had to admit, she encountered...interesting things to say the least.

On the bright side, at least she was indoors, which meant she was no longer freezing her butt off. Her cheeks were numb against the warmth of the house, not that she wasn't complaining, at least it would make the progress of trying to figure a way to get home easier while she was cozy. Upon Rum Tum's words, she was silent and only raised a brow. She attempted to listen to him, but soon found herself tuning out without realizing she was. At least until Spoony returned, popping in a DVD into a DVD player and activating the entertainment device.

The whole time, Liz believed she was watching a scene from some sort of low budget science fiction film. And being a sci-fi nerd herself, she was sorely disappointed at what she saw. "Um okay, so you expect me to believe that we were transported here by some crazy dude who wants to take over the universe?" She questioned, trying to suppress laughter. "Right, and in alternate universe I'm hosting the Golden Globes." She rolled her eyes and stood up. "Look, I've already wasted enough time here. Unless you have more proof to prove your claim, I'm outta here." She spoke, secretly disappointed about leaving such a warm location to resume wandering around in the cold again, but for all ahe knew this man could've been a serial killer or drug dealer!

(ooc: Also if anyone got the secret Tina Fey reference, give yourself a pat on the back.)

[Deleted]

"What is this place?  This isn't my game.  I don't even think this is a place in the arcade at all.  Am I...even alive?"

After some exploratory self-groping, the little racing creature confirmed it to himself that he, in fact, still existed.  This was strange for Null, given he was dead last thing he knew.  What was worse, he didn't know where he was.  Was he in heaven?  ...Couldn't be.  Or else he wouldn't be so scared out of his wits.  Having no idea what to do on his own, Null took to an alley to hide for a while, pacing in circles in an attempt to think out his situation.  This isn't last long.  A noise from behind him made him jump.  From behind some trash and clutter emerged a big, grumpy stray dog.  Null's yellow eyes widened before he clenched his fists and scowled.

"Go find a chew toy you worthless mutt," Null growled.

He was met with a sharp stare and a much more vicious growl than his own.  Faced with the threat, Null immediately shivered in fear.  The dog's fur stood on end as it began to approach him.  Apparently, the dog intended to take Null up on his advice and find a chew toy - a gaunt, yellow-eyed, blue-clad chew toy.

"No.  Not me.  No.  Nice doggy.  Nice doggy.  No!  GAH!  HALP!"

The dog ran.  Null fled the alley, the vicious brute right on his heels.  No matter how fast he ran or how much he tried to evade the hound, Null couldn't shake it.  As he was looking over his shoulder, he did not realize he was running up to a house door until he smacked into it.  The hit made the door shake and toppled the racer over.  Null recovered quickly and stared at the front door to the Critic's house for a moment.  A bark from the street alerted him and he was on his feet again in an instant.  Null saw what to him was a gigantic beast running right at him and panicked.  The door was pounded violently by the racer's fists as he attempted to open it, not even thinking of who or what might be inside.

"Let me in!  Let me in!"

[Spoony]

Lottie was a bit bored of worrying over Harvey's... condition. So she decided to catch some fun and try to clear her mind. She saw brock, dean, and grimhilde observing Brock's pokemon and she felt the need to do so also. "Oh aren't they just adorable!" Lottie said as Brock described them. She then quickly responded "Oh I do apologize for intruding but your pokemon look very interestin'. How did you get them exactly, dear?" Lottie never understood pokemon. Maybe learning this would get her to know different cultures better.
XXXXX

Pollo meanwhile was with Marzgurl and Linksano. He didn't really say anything only just listening. Eventually he turned to Linksano and said, with robotic impression "Good job on the inventions linksano. It was smart for you to make it. These pokemon can't hide in the house forever" He then saw Marzgurl go for spoony and followed her. He then saw a new catlike man and a woman arguing with him. He then was pulled in by spoony and was explained the situation. Then suddenly he heard screaming. Quickly, ignoring the ramblings, he went to the door and magnetically pulled the door open. He then saw a small white creature bust in and he heard a loud barking coming over and naturally he shut the door. "They should keep their pets on leashes. Hey there new guy. I'm Pollo"
XXXX

"Marzgurl!" Spoony said, ignoring Liz's demands and grabbed her. "You need to help me. Liz and this cat Rum Tum Tugger got here. Rum Tum believes me but I need more proof. Is there anymore footage?!" He then breathed and responded "I'm trying to help her understand about you know what" He meant the war and hoped marzgurl would help her. "Liz and Rum Tum are new and I showed her footage but it's not enough" He then saw Pollo take care of Null which was less stress for him. God he wished goggles was here, that or at least one of the leaders wasn't a freaking animal. "Help me a bit please" Spoony said kindly
XXXXX

"Hey there human chick. Nice to see more" Rum tum said with a sly smile. He saw marzgurl invite him to the back porch. Then saw Spoony explain about liz's disbelief and responded "Nice to meet ya.. Marzgurl. But I'm gonna take your offer to meet the others, I might as well since I'm not going anywhere, and let you talk with Ms. Cynical and nervous wreck spoony over here" He went to the back porch and jumped at the sight of Linksano.

"What's with the mad scientist glasses fella?" Oh yeah, Rum Tum Tugger was definitely going to make himself comfortable. After all, he was a guest and guests could do a lot of whatever they pleased. At least that was the cat's philosophy.

[Brock Harrison & Pokemon]

Marzgurl walked in turning to her.

"Look Liz is it? You're in another universe." said Marzgurl.

She nodded. She looked at the other new arrival hearing a dog barking at the door.

'Are you ok?" asked Marzgurl.

She paused nodding to Spoony.

"Our world is similar to yours. But your life is a tv show here. If you went to New York people would just think you're the actress Tina Fey who plays you here. Your job doesn't exist her and if your home does it's probably owned by other people." said Marzgurl.

She looked up as Linksano offered to show her footage.

"Yes. Let's do that." said Marzgurl.

XXXX

Linksano excused himself as he heard the commotion inside and activate a device on his wrist. A disc appeared in his hand as he put it ino the dvd player.

"This has footage of several members of our army as well as the wars. Tell me in your world do you have cartoons? Disney movies? Tv shows? Because many of the people in this war were pulled from other universes. Not just you." said Linksano.

He pressed play as it showed footage of various battles and even home movies of training or just hanging out around the house. If any fictional tv show or movie existed in her universe she was bound to see it on this dvd and hopefully get the picture. He paused turning to Rum Tum Tigger.

"Well I am a mad scientist technically. I use my skills for good now though. Welcome to the army. I'm Linksano." said Linksano.

He guessed the cat was from an anthro world where cats walked on two legs an wore clothes. There were many of those worlds in fiction but he hadn't watched many movies or tv shows of anthromopic animals.

XXXX

Brock nodded as Marzgurl and Linksano left to help Spoony. He turned to Lottie with a grin.

"It's alright. It's weird to me that people don't know about them here. I mean they're pretty common in my world. Everyone has at least one Pokemon. Even cops and doctors do." said Brock.

He smiled as if thinking.

"Well all Pokemon are wild. But in our towns you are given the option of three starter Pokemon. You choose the one you want and then travel around capturing other Pokemon. You have to battle them and capture them in these Pokeballs when you win. These have become some of my best friends. I do miss my other friends but they're probably still back at home. Well aside from Mewtwo. He's from my world as well. I'm not sure if you met him yet. He's a Pokemon too but he doesn't have an owner. He doesn't need one. He's one of the strongest Pokemon in my universe and a good friend." said Brock.

Brock heard Grimhilde's question and nodded.

"Well we can only hold six Pokemon with us at a time. And these are all my current Pokemon. I don't really have any others yet. I might have caught more but I was brought here. If we tried to capture any pokemon beyond six it would be sent back to our hometown. And we'd have to trade it with one of the six we currently had if we wanted to travel along with it. My friend Ash had tons of Pokemon he trained with and most of them are at his hometown Pallet Town. But he rotated them out enough to train them and spend time with them." said Brock.

Brock smild as she asked their names.

"The giant rock Pokemon is Onyx. The smaller rock Pokemon is Geodude. Crobat is the bat Pokemon and my final Pokemon is Forretress." said Brock.

He sighed at her next statement.

"I'm not sure about that. Sure they're tough but I don't know if they'd be strong enough to fight up against the magic and technology in this war. I don't want them hurt. We don't exactly have a Pokemon center to treat their injuries here." said Brock.

XXXX

Grimhilde watched interested.

"So there are many of these creatures in your world. Why did you only bring four?" asked Grimhilde.

She nodded as Brock explained.

"A limit on how many you can hold. That does make sense. Fascinating. What are their names?" asked Grimhilde.

She listened curious. Out of the four them Onyx looked the most intimidating.

"They could be quite useful in battle." said Grimhilde.

She nodded.

"But what if others from your world show up? And use Pokemon in battle. You may be the only one who can stop them." said Grimhilde.
