Happy Harbor
November 20, 6:25 AM
"Come out everyone," I say this as I toss my unique Love Balls into the air. In a burst of holographic hearts and white-blue light, my pokemon come out.
Immediately I am surrounded by my beloved family. Eevee, the brown and light brown pokemon with fennec-like ears. Mew the hairless blue cat/mouse-like pokemon with bright blue eyes. While the first two needed little description as they were iconic Pokemon that came from the first generation, the rest of my companions needed a more in-depth description.
Please Just Help Me was a mass of floating screens, cubes, and disconnected tentacles. The colors of their body were a hodgepodge of yellow, red, blue, and black, while the screens showed white, teal and black jagged smiles and dilated eyes.
Cthultulzu was the spitting image of a smaller Cthulhu. Swamp green skin coating large alien muscles similar to that of an octopus, dark gray iron shackles around his wrists and legs, large wings, black eyelids, crimson eyes, and a spiky blue shield-like crest on his head.
Lunar Guardian was the most difficult to describe. Half biblical angel and half biblical demon. A combination of flesh, stone, ichor, and energy. Different colors from white, red, gold, dark green, blue, and black. You see Lunar Guardian was a combination of six different parts that can act individually away from the body. When they all combined they turned into a nightmarish being that most would cower in fear over. I however, loved them to bits.
Stelloch was an owl made of darkness and stone. Stelloch had a small golden crown connected atop its owl-like head. Stelloch had two black pits for eyes with two blood red dots at the center of each pit. She also had brown feather-like rock on their talons, breast, belly, and back, alongside black stone making up their horns, wings, and tail.
Finally, Rotom, who was currently living inside my phone, booted up and floated out of my pocket. They had the classic red of any Rotom Phone with a clear case to protect them from harm. Their cyan eyes were slightly droopy probably due to them just waking up.
Each of my Pokemon stood, flew, or floated to their full heights causing a few squirrels and birds to scatter. Stelloch, who was the most perceptive of the bunch, narrowed her void-like eyes at this. Nothing ever got past her, even this new world… The Idol Pokemon looked at me with a question burning through her gaze.I of course, knew what it meant. Stelloch wanted to know where we were. A question I would soon answer.
<Maria? I thought we were going to have a picnic?> Mew says this to me telepathically with an innocent look in their eyes as the others look at me with varied questions.
"There's been a change of plans, Mew." I say this solemnly.
"Mew?" The blue mother of Pokemon answered me with a question about what I meant. She and the others were now catching on to the unfamiliar fauna and flora around them.
"To put it simply my loves, we've been sent to another world by Hoopa. Not our Hoopa mind you, a different one." I say this as silence reigns amongst my Poke-family. They needed some time to process the whole situation.
"Stell Stelloch?" The stone owl said this to me with shocked curiosity. They wondered why we were sent to a new world.
"Imagine a being more powerful than Arceus." I let my words sink in before I continue. The shocked expressions of my party were definitely something I needed to get used to quickly. "Now imagine that being making me its plaything. A pawn in its entertainment." The various angered expressions on my Pokemon were to be expected.
"Eevee?" My dear first Pokemon asked me if we were fighting HIM again. A question I soon put to rest. Our time against that chaotic lord was over.
"No, we're not fighting HIM again. In fact, this new being or ROB as he likes to be called, wants us to entertain him." I say this with a mirthful smile, trying to placate the rage emanating off of my Pokemon.
"Cthultulzu, Cthu Cthult?" My dear Cthulhu-esque Pokemon brought up a very good statement. He wondered about the dangers of this new world.
"Mew, connect us all together telepathically. This might take a while."
<Yes Maria.> Then I felt the familiar psychic wave wash over me and my pokemon. Each of them had different minds, with Mew and Lunar Guardian standing out amongst the rest. Mostly because they were Legendary Pokemon with unfathomable powers.
Then I began to imagine all I knew about the DC Universe. The great evils, the villains, the Light, Apokolips, the Chaos Lords, the Endless, the Gods, the Lantern Corps and much more. I thought of the clown prince of crime and the gray-skinned abomination that killed Superman. I thought of the heroes, the princess of the amazons, the dark knight, and the man of steel.
At this point Please Just Help Me was shaking and I huddled them close for a hug. The poor thing needed some loving, and I was glad to give it. Still, I had to continue my veritable information overload. My pokemon deserved, no, they NEEDED to know. Finally I thought about Darkseid and his heinous machinations. He was the evil of the universe. An evil we would have to face alongside the heroes and villains of this world.
I let the information sink in as each of my Pokemon had varied looks and emotions going through them. There was one unifying thought that brought us all together though. The thought of protecting each other. We were family, through thick and thin, nothing could change that.
"Lunar Guardian?" The rumbling voice of my beloved guardian echoed a bit through the forestry as he questioned what I had planned. He always knew when something was cookin' up in my noggin.
"Well love… I've always wanted to be a villain."
"Please Just, Please Just Help Me?" My dear Pokemon from the cyber world asked me as I looked down to meet the eyes on their screen face.
"Ever since I was a child. I've always dreamt of having fun in a world filled with superheroes and supervillains. However, I don't want to get caught up with all the rules and machinations of the League and the Light. Dear ones, I want to be a free agent. Someone who does bad for the sake of fun. I don't want to kill people, far from it. I want to play tricks and mess with them.
"I remember Team Rocket from my childhood. The ones I told you about during our time in the haunted school dimension. How they set themselves an impossible goal and never caught Pikachu. Yet after all the trouble they'd been through, they never gave up. They were villains of course, but they were both fun and inspirational.
"It's time we all had some fun being bad. So…" I reach my hand out to all of my Pokemon after my impromptu speech. "Are you all with me?"
Slowly, and one by one, whether by paw, claw, or tentacle they put their limbs over my hand. I'm not ashamed to say I shed a tear at that moment. It was an emotional time for me, to find out that even when I wanted to turn evil, my team was still with me, through thick and thin we were a family.
"Thank you all, for sticking with me through my crazy ideas." I finish my statement by stretching my arms out and going in for a group hug.
I don't know why I was crying, but my Pokemon helped wipe away my tears as we hugged. After a cherished moment, we all let go just as the breeze started to pick up. It was starting to get very windy. Perhaps a storm was brewing.
"Alright everyone return, except Mew. I don't want us getting caught in the rain and we need to fly." The rest of my Pokemon agreed as I returned them to their Love Balls. Then I picked up my backpack, which contained an ungodly amount of items, and started levitating alongside Mew until we were well above the treeline.
<Where are we going Maria?> Mew asks this with excited and curious thoughts as I take in the view of the city before us. I knew it well. From the coast to Mount Justice it was easy to recognize Happy Harbor.
<Turn us invisible then take us to the City Mew. Let's find the nearest bank.> I send this thought to them as she and I begin to take a fast flight.
Happy Harbor
November 20, 8:56
Mew and I eventually found a Bank of America branch at the center of Happy Harbor. However before we started I asked Mew to land us on a nearby rooftop so I could scope out the area.
It seems there was only one security guard at the front of the building who could be easily taken care of. People were waiting in line just outside the bank. It was a Friday, and thus payday for most folks. Many of them probably wanted to withdraw or make a deposit. Most of the people were wearing clothes for cool weather suggesting the date was probably early spring or fall.
<Mew please fly us into the alleyway near the Dave & Buster's parking lot. It'll be easier for us to scope the place out once we've gotten a closer look. Reveal me but stay invisible, once we get into the bank I want you to phase through the back and into the vault. Scope out any potential dangers then come back to me.> I think this with a hurried pace as a devious plot begins to form in my mind.
<Okay~!> Mew then flies us into the dark alleyway without any nearby cameras and my form shimmers into existence as Mew allows me to exit my invisibility. Then I simply walked out the alley without any eyes turning towards me as it was completely empty this time of day.
It had taken more than about an hour and 30 minutes of flying to get into the city, and another hour to find the nearest bank as Mew and I got distracted talking about what I knew of this world. Needless to say both of us also got lost here and there, but we eventually found our way after I made Mew read a few minds.
Meanwhile the walk to the bank was going smoothly, though I did notice a few people giving me some looks, I was after all, a young attractive female with large breasts. For those of you who are wondering what I looked like well…
(Due to rules I cannot post the images of my SI here. One show too much leg and thigh and the other one has huge boobas. However if you wish to check them out, you may look in the forums of QQ.)
As you can see, I pride myself in my luscious beauty, so the attention was something I was used to. Still, it was nice to know my love and care for my looks didn't fail me in this world. I looked like an anime girl come to life, and that was something I thoroughly enjoyed about myself.
Anyways, my walk to the bank was uneventful besides the aforementioned looks I got. The buildings around me were a bland hodge podge of colors I cared not to describe. The architecture was quite nice though. Coming from the year 2022 I appreciated the classic style of cities and towns built during the 80's to 2010's. I also appreciated the smell of donuts and coffee coming from the local cafe I passed by. I asked Mew to swipe us a couple of maple glaze donuts on display while I distracted the baker with a smiley 'Good morning!' through an open window.
<This is tasty!> Mew exclaimed as she munched on her invisible donut.
<I know right~.> I think this with dreamy sighs as Mew and I finally arrive in front of the bank.
This specific branch of the Bank of America was clean with lots of windows. I could see all sorts of people inside. Retirees, young adults, office workers, etc.
"Good Morning Ma'am what business do you have with us today." The hispanic security guard tips his hat toward me as he greets me and I smile at him brilliantly.
"Good Morning~. I'm here to inquire about safety deposit boxes and the pricing of storage." I say this with a brilliant smile. The security guard nods and lets me in without any hassle after that. As soon as I enter the bank, I am greeted with a clean office setup. The place is organized with offwhite wallpaper on the walls, gray tiles on the flooring, offwhite fluorescent lights, white interconnected desks with red accents, and crimson leather seats for both workers and customers. The place was air conditioned and had four security cameras, each placed atop a corner.
<Now Mew.> I thought this as I approached the inquiries desk. It seems I was next in line.
<On it Maria~!> Mew thought this with excitable brain waves as I sensed her phase through the walls at the end of the bank's interior.
I patiently overheard a young caucasian woman with brown hair ask some questions about checking accounts this and initial deposits that. I admired the woman's pinstripe work dress. It looked quite good on her slim figure, not too tight, and yet not too loose. Perhaps it was a custom piece. Sadly, even though she was quite the looker, I wasn't attracted to women. I preferred men and all their manly assets.
While this interaction was happening, Mew sent me mental images of the vault. I saw the metallic interior through Mew's eyes. I could see walls lined with safety deposit boxes and steel cubby holes filled with stacks of cold hard cash. I nearly drooled at the mental sight of it all. Still, I needed to get past the Waynetech security cameras and all the alarms.
"-cuse me Miss. It's your turn." The bank staff with asian-american features. I was almost shocked by him calling out to me. Well I suppose it was time for me to 'perform'.
<Mew return to my location and read this man's mind please. Spare me the random thoughts and focus on the bank's information.> I say this as I pretended to be a shy girl as I batted my eyelashes at the man who blushed slightly as he spoke.
"H-Hi. My name's Maria." I said this as I gingerly swept a lock of my hair behind my ear. I was playing the innocent girl act you see.
"Hello Miss Maria. How can we at Bank of America help you today?" He had a brilliant smile on him as he spoke to me in a professional tone. He wore a name tag that had Ken written on it alongside a red and black polkadot tie to go with his black and white work suit.
"S-Sorry this is my first time in a bank, I'm just so nervous. I don't wanna embarrass myself with all the cameras here."
"It's alright Miss." His face contorts to that of surprise.
"I'm just a little shy is all." I say this as I placed my left hand on my chest and swirled a lock of my hair with my right. I bite my lip to add more effect to it.
"So what brings to the bank today Miss Maria?" Ken asks as he loosens his tie slightly. Perhaps it was choking him.
"I was wondering about safety deposit boxes. I have some jewelry at home that my Mom left after she…after she," I covered my mouth as I turned to the side and sniffled while imagining the time I saw Eevee who was a Light-Type Solareon at the time, get stabbed by Gowen's Phantom Tendrils. The mere thought made me tear up.
As for who Gowen was, well he was the leader of a group of cannibals living in the Arctic of the world of Pokemon. He himself transformed into a horrific Pokemon after all was said and done. Then the Sloggoths attacked and…
"Are you alright Miss Maria?" My thoughts zoned back to Ken who had a worried look on his face. I had him right where I wanted him. I internally smirked as a tear fell from my face.
"Yeah…Sniffle…Just some sad memories," I wiped my tears away to give Ken a vulnerable look before continuing, "S-So about those safety deposit boxes, are they safe?"
"Yes they are. We use the latest in Waynetech security to ensure our-" I zoned out as he began his boring explanation about how advanced Waynetech's security system was. I made sure to nod ever so often with an earnest smile on my face. This technique got me through a lot of terrible dates back on my first earth.
Meanwhile, Mew was hard at work sending me information about the security system, the man earnestly thought I was interested in depositing some jewelry from a mother I didn't have. Through Mew's vast psychic abilities, I managed to get more information about the security system. Apparently Ken was one of the two people required for a double thumbprint scan. There were also pressure plates in the vault that required the correct weight depending on the ID card scanned to open the barred gate behind the vault.
"-s there anything else you needed Miss Maria" Ken said this as the last bits of information about the bank's security was siphoned out of his mind.
"No, but thank you Ken. I think I've found a safe place to keep my Mother's necklace." To seal in the deal, I clasped Ken's hands into mine as I gave him a 'heartfelt' thank you. I quickly got up and said my goodbye after that.
<Thank you so much for the excellent work Mew.> I sent this thought to her with all the gratitude and love I could muster as we exited the bank.
<You're welcome!> Dear Mew sent happy thoughts my way as we both trounced along the street telekinetically picking pockets and loose change along the way.
Happy Harbor
November 21, 12:00 AM
It's close to midnight and something evil's lurking in the dark. That evil was me! Oh I was so excited to commit my first crime, I felt so bad. I was a bad girl. I needed to be pu-!
<Maria, you're doing it again.> Mew said this to me telepathically as they gave me that look that said 'Really hoe?'.
<Sorry Mew!> I scratch the back of my head as a sign of embarrassment as we flew invisible through the night. I'd opted to take a nap in the local library to kill time. All the while there were a few stops we needed to make tonight. All to establish myself of course. I needed money and an identity. In order to do that, I needed to rob a bank, infiltrate the local hospital, break into the local highschool, before finally creeping into the nearest Social Security Offices.
First stop, Happy Harbor's very own Bank of America. The yellow-orange streetlights gave the eerie feel I loved as they showed the closed front of the bank. They had white rollup doors that gave away nothing to the outside world. The perfect enclosed space for what I had planned.
Luckily there were no guard dogs on patrol. Only a single guard who may or may not be fired after my robbery. Perhaps it was the bank's hubris for not being more prepared against a super-powered robber.
Anyways, I landed in an empty and dark alleyway and brought out the pokemon I needed tonight's heist.
"Come out and play Eevee. It's time to have some fun Please Just Help me. Let's get sneaky~!" I say this quietly as I bring out and expand two loveballs from my belt. The hearts and lights soon being drowned by the darkness.
"Eevee."
"Please Just Help Me." Both my Pokemon appeared with a silent exclamation of their names as Mew began to connect us all together telepathically.
<Eevee, please evolve into Virtualeon and Mew please turn all of us invisible.> I only saw a small amount of flashing light as Eevee began to evolve before we were all enveloped in a shroud of invisibility. Still, I could sense Eevee's new form and the sheer computative power of their Cyber-Type form.
Cyber-Type Pokemon were living embodiments of data. As if the internet and video games came to life and became adorable murderbeasts. They weren't just capable of battle though. Cyber Types had many uses when it came to digital work. Something the Pokemon World used to its advantage.
<Now for the fun part~. Mew, bring us up into the air and use Teleport to bring us into the bank please.> In a blinking flash we were now in the bank with no one the wiser. The place was dark, but thankfully I was used to seeing in the dark.
I remember my back in the Wack Region. I was trapped in a horrifying dark school dimension where I was chased by numerous horrific pokemon and disembodied mannequins. I had no lightsource and not even my pokemon provided any solace. It was dark as all light died in that place. I hope to Arceus I never have to return there again. Thus, I closed my eyes for a moment and counted to sixty, then I opened my eyes to see a grayed out office-scape.
<Virtualeon, please use Tech.Error on the Cameras.> I received affirmative thoughts as Virtualeon sent a big red holographic error sign towards each of the cameras. Now that that was taken care of, it was time to play.
I had Mew float me towards one of the computers. Then, I turned the desktop on after an embarrassing amount of time finding the switch. I closed my eyes as I turned on the monitor so as not to be blinded by the screen light. After a few moments I opened my eyes to see a login screen. This would've stumped me if it weren't for the fact that I had a Virus-Type Pokemon with me.
Virus-Types came in strange shapes and sizes. They consisted of living embodiments of disease and malware. To say the least, they were beings who were capable of causing anaphylactic shocks and trojanware rushes. They held power over things like the common cold and malaria, and yet they had access to a move called The Cure. A literal panacea capable of curing any disease. I could go on, detailing the type's advantages and weaknesses, but I didn't have that much time to think.
Thus, I turned to Please Just Help Me. Who I couldn't see, but I knew was floating idly at the center of this office space. They were singing a tune in their digital head, and nearly dozing off until they sensed my thoughts of need for them.
<Please Just Help Me, would you be so kind as to use Hack on their system?>
I sensed agreeable, yet lackadaisical thoughts as Please Just Help Me approached the computer and literally dived into the screen. Once they were inside the server, nothing could stop them. I saw multiple screens flash in and out, with multiple progress bars loading before me. My Pokemon and I waited patiently until Please Just Help Me was done.
<Be careful not to trigger any silent alarms my Love. We don't want to leave a single trace. Also, please intercept any signals being sent out of this branch.> I mentally thought this as I watched Please Just Help Me work their hacking magic.
It took about 3 minutes for Please Just Help Me to get past all the cyber security, and another 41 seconds to disable all of the alarms, cameras, and pressure plates. Once they were finished. All that was left on the screen was my Pokemon's usual jagged smiling and beady eyes. Their lips were moving as if to laugh. I got the mental sense and realized that Please Just Help Me enjoyed doing this. After all, I wasn't one to hack security systems back in the world of Pokemon.
In the end, I could also sense excitement from Virtualeon and Mew, they were both so used to just Pokemon battling, that they never got to use their powers creatively. It was definitely a positive experience for all of us. However, the best was yet to come.
<Mew, now is the time. Please use Teleport to bring us the vault past the barred gate.> I thought this as I prepared my backpack for what was to come. You see in the Pokemon world, backpacks functioned like bags of holding in DnD. I'm not sure how it functioned, I never bothered finding out, but everything just fit in there, from hundreds of pokeball of different types to cooking ingredients and a large, collapsible bicycle. Still, there was still enough space for cold hard cash. From what little I knew about Pokemon bags, they were designed by the man who created pokeballs. They functioned like um…I forget. It was all mambo jumbo that didn't feel important until back then.
<Yay~! Robbery time!> Mew said this with fun-loving thought as we all disappeared into the vault in a flash.
As soon as we arrived, me and my pokemon needed no instructions as we got to work. Mew and I stuffed my backpack with all the cash that lined the rightmost shelves amounting to at least two-hundred thousand dollars. A ludicrous amount that would allow me to sustain myself for a very long time. Meanwhile, Virtualeon and Please Just Help Me were busy grabbing wads of cash on the left. Their pace was a bit slower, but appreciated.
After a couple of minutes grabbing what I could only assume was around four-hundred thousand dollars, I finally let out a mental sigh of satisfaction. Still, we had a couple more stops to visit before the night was done.
<Thank you all for the hard work, sadly the night is still young and we have much to do! Teleport us into the air Mew. It's time made our way to Happy Harbor General Hospital.>
In a flash of light we disappeared instantly. Leaving only a note on the floor. A calling card of sorts. Written in big bold letters by Mew while we were in the Library. It stated a catchphrase that was near and dear to my heart. As for what the note says well… It simply said this:
PREPARE FOR TROUBLE
Happy Harbor
November 21, 12:47 AM
Once we made our way out of the bank, it was a simple flight on our way to the Hospital. From there we simply had to sneak into the administrative offices.
There were more people walking in and out of the hospital than the closed bank, but that didn't matter. My Pokemon and I were invisible, and thus undetectable to the mundane staff. There was a map on every floor so it made going through the hospital very very easy. The administrative offices were on the top floor so we simply flew out of the ground floor and made our way up.
The hospital was beige with lots of reflective windows. Some had lights peaking through the blinds while most were dark. As we reached the twentieth floor, I noticed an open window and decided to take a peak. The room was slightly lit to only reveal a portion of the room. Most said room was filled with desks, computers, documents, and shelves lined with files. It was then that my eyes zoned in on the dark-skinned man with a doctor's coat sleeping in front of his desk. He had his computer open too. Perfect.
<Mew fly us in and keep that man asleep. Virtualeon, use Tech.Error to loop the footage on the cameras. Finally, Please Just Help Me, use Hack on that open PC and connect the servers to Rotom.> Mew's telekinetic abilities and cloaking allowed us to fly in without any hassle. As soon as we entered, one by one sliding through the sizable window, Mew set us down and we all sprung into action.
Virtualeon was up first as she blasts a smaller version of the red holographic error sign towards the singular camera situated at the end of the room's front right corner. Then, Mew's invisible eyes begin to glow a faint blue light as the sleeping man situated near the room is slowly moved away from the desk as he is telekinetically guided to lean backward into his seat. Then, Please Just Help Me floats towards the screen and jumps into the servers of the hospital.
It takes less than 15 seconds for Please Just Help Me to hack past the Hospital's security systems. Then, I bring my Rotom Phone out and pull out a USB connecter to begin infiltrating and forging my information and Medical History. Once Rotom was connected to the PC, I cracked my knuckles and mentally signaled for Virtualeon.
<Virtualeon, please keep a lookout while I type like a secretary rushing their work a day before the holidays.> I say this as the clickity clacks of the keyboard keys fills the room with slight noise.
Within the next hour, my new identity was created. Maria Valentine, who was born on October 31, 1991, now had a fairly medium-sized paper trail to her name. I now had a birth certificate that stated that I was born right here in sleepy Happy Harbor.
Once we finished I had Virtualeon remove the camera loop and Please Just Help Me exit the Computer. Then Mew stopped giving the sleeping man a psychic massage and we left for Happy Harbor High School.
It was a simple ordeal once we arrived. The same old rinse a repeat, the only differences were that we falsified highschool and elementary history. We also managed to print out a Happy Harbor High School Diploma.
By the time we got to the Social Security Offices, I was smiling ear to ear. The finale to my plot was at hand! Insert evil laugh here.
I danced through the air as Mew used Teleport to move us through a window. The red-brick building only had one floor and one slightly chubby caucasian night guard who was already semi-dozing off.
Then, we simply did our work. Between me, Mew, Please Just Help Me, Rotom, and Virtualeon, the job was ridiculously easy. We just needed to loop the cameras, hack a computer, connect to the database, fill in the information, and print the ID.
With everything going according to plan, I managed to get my Social Security Number and ID in record time, though the hacking took a bit longer than I'd hoped. I blame the security systems of the Social Security Offices.
Happy Harbor
November 21, 3:33 AM
Once we were finished I smiled in satisfaction as I gave all of my pokemon a big hug midair. We did it! My dastardly plot was complete! In less than four hours I managed to gain tons of money and create an identity with the help of my loved ones. It was all so perfect.
<Thank you all for the hard work.> I say this mentally and with all the appreciation I can muster. I received happiness and thoughts of 'no worries' from my Pokemon. I could sense that they enjoyed tonight's endeavors.
<I'm glad you all had fun. Virtualeon, devolve back into Eevee and return alongside Please Just Help Me. Thank you both for your hard work.> A faint light appeared in a space I knew Virtualeon was floating and soon enough their bright silhouette shifted and shrank into Eevee main form. Then I simply brought out my Love Balls and returned them.
<Sadly your job isn't done yet Mew. Could you fly us to the hotel we passed by on our way to the library? Its time we got some well needed rest.>
<It's okay Maria! I'm happy to help~!> Mew thought this with energetic happiness as we flew into the night.
The next chapter is already being outlined as we speak. I hope you all look forward to the next installment of my fanfic!
Pictures and information on the Fakemon mentioned in the chapter will be posted soon. Also, information on the moves used will be posted as well.
