Pokegirls Of Justice

Pokegirls Of Justice is a Pokemon fanfic written by Rosepaw. It is about the five original Pokegirls becoming PreCure-esque superheroes fighting the mysterious evil that has taken over the Pokémon world, while also dealing with regular teen girl stuff. :P

Episode One - Pokegirl Found!
The war was over now. Their Queen was frozen, keeping herself and the citizens alive, but disabling her battle abilities, leaving everyone else defenseless. The head of the evil army had sealed her away, waiting for the right moment to claim her life, while destroying everything she had worked for.

Fia uncomfortably sat on the star, which was shooting across the sky. Away from her home. Away from her friends. Away from her Queen. Earth was coming into view, a blue and green planet with no magic whatsoever. She glared at the sphere with disgust.

Pathetic.

Nothing? Not even a spark? Fía sighed. How would they react when she landed, then? The… humans, was it? Yes, the people that inhabited the regions. They’d freak, and probably kill her, or worse. If there could be a worse from them. She doubted it. Magic was a vital source of everything back in her world. It flowed through the sky, the earth, and the veins of all the Pokémon, the creatures that lived there.

Fía’s mind went back to the war. How her Queen had taken her in when she was a mere child, fostering her as her own when nobody cared. Fed her the sweetest honey and given her the bounciest bed. It all seemed too perfect. All the Queen asked for in return were a few chores to be done, here and there.

How she missed that life. When it was peaceful, and she could just bask in her blissful ignorance.

Her mind needed to be focused on her mission. She was breaking through the atmosphere now, and wow. Arceus, this place was breathtaking!

It reminded her painfully of her own home, except this place had shinier buildings, no magic, and – oh gosh, what was that awful smell!

The star landed near a green bin, which was absolutely killing Fia’s nose. Using some of her powers, she perfumed the air around her to the fragrance of home. Petty, she knew, but much better. Satisfied, she used her powers again, increasing her speed to run away from the strange, smelly bin.

Now she had to find her partner, the one she was sent here for. The only one who could help the little Sylveon and her planet.

Her  Pokegirl.

Beep. Beep. Beep.

Serena groaned. Stupid alarm. She buried herself under her blanket and pillow, trying to escape the obnoxious noise.

Beep. Beep. Beep.

“Shut UP,” she shouted from underneath the pillow.

Beep. Beep. Beep.

It didn’t quite work.

Beep. Beep. Bee-

“QUIET!” She pounded the snooze button. Then, yawning, she took notice of the time.

“Seven thirty five?” She jumped up. Uh oh. “AGH! I’M LATE! CRAP CRAP CRAP CRAP – “

She rushed out, hopping into the shower hurriedly. Hurry hurry hurry hurry hurry.

“AND ON MY FIRST DAY TOO, WHY DO I HAVE SUCH BAD LUCK DANGIT – “

She slid into her selected clothes, the crimson long-sleeved shirt with the jeans that didn’t quite reach her ankles, rhinestone earrings and sparkly pink flats decided on by herself and her best friend Shauna via Skype. A wave of sadness as she remembered Shauna had to be pushed down as she ran downstairs, trying to smooth her disobedient hair while shoveling spoonfuls of cereal into her face.

“AND MAH AIR’S EH MESSH, MAHM CAN’T YOU HELP?!”

Her mother sighed, then picked up a brush and combed through all the tangles. “Did you wash it through, Serena?” She scolded. “You know how your hair gets.”

Serena, finished her cereal, stood up and took a quick look at her clothes, making sure she didn’t get messy, before replying. “Yes, mom. Now I gotta go, this is my first day of high school, you know. The best years of my life.”

Her mother smirked at her. “Best years? Hmmmm, I was taught teenagers hate high school.”

Serena laughed. Her mom, Grace Morton, always knew how to make her feel better. “Not this teenager. Now excuse me, mother dearest, I need to attend my lessons.”

Grace giggled before curtsying. “As you wish.”

Serena gave her mom one last smile from the door before running out, feeling like the day would be truly magical.

That feeling didn’t last for long, unfortunately. As she ran, the year’s not-so-good events came back as soon as she lost sight of her house, haunting her. Her father dying, her mother and her having to move, her friends back in California…

Shauna…

Her grip on her backpack tightened. She shook her head. No need to bring back bad memories.

And now she was here. Middletown. A relatively small place compared to their previous home. Still, she was determined not to lose hope. Good things could come out of this year, just you wait. She would make new friends, maybe find a boyfriend –

But before all that, I’ve got to get to class! Her thoughts steered back to school as soon as she arrived to the front doors.

Middletown High was bland, to be frank. Much like the town. The classes weren’t very hard, and the teachers were friendly enough. What made it lively and cheerful, at least, according to the website, were the students. Big, small, dark, light, gay, straight, they’re all welcome.

And Serena was very excited to become one of them.

“Hey! Heyyyyy!”

An echo-like noise of someone’s voice sounded through Serena’s ears. When she looked around, though, there was no one.

“Hey! WATCH OUT!”

Thud!

“What the heck?!” A something bumped into her leg. Throughly creeped out, she screeched and ran inside, hoping to get it away.

Once a few feet inside, she realized it, indeed, had stayed away. Good. I don’t need weird ghost animals or whatever following me. Taking a look around, Serena wondered what the time was.

Riiiiiiing!

The late bell rang, giving her the answer. Serena came into her first class, General Science, late.

“Ah, there you are, Miss Morton,” said her science teacher, Miss Yvonne. “Everyone, this is our new transfer student, Miss Serena Morton. Please welcome her with open arms.”

Serena fingered with her hair embarrassedly, taking in the sights. The teens, arranged in circular groups, went back to themselves, almost bored with her. Don’t mind it,  she thought to herself. She looked for a place to sit.

A small group out in front had a girl with long straight blonde/red hair, a tall guy with dark hair and glasses, a shorter guy with nearly no hair, and a girl with frizzy dark brown hair and glasses, all of them energetically talking to one another. You should talk to them later, they seem fun.

Another group had a athletic-looking girl with light brown pigtails, a tall guy with tan skin and squinted eyes, and a cute black haired guy with a friendly smile, waving her over.

Face heating up, Serena walked over, sitting down next to the dark haired guy. He was wearing a red and white jock-type jacket, with green fingerless gloves and grey sweatpants. His baseball hat looked beaten, like it had been through multiple games. But what attracted her attention the most were his eyes.

His eyes. A dreamy, chocolate brown color, warm and delicious, never-look-away-from kind of eyes.

He spoke, voice not exactly matching what Serena had imagined. Sort of high-pitched, almost child-like. “Hey. My name’s Ash. These are some of my friends, May and Brock.”

Serena waved at his comrades, smiling stupidly. Say something, idiot! “So, um… what are we doing?”  Well, that was dumb.

Ash grinned. “We’re doing…” He did a little drumming on the table for dramatic effect. Then he jumped up, surprising her. “I DON’T KNOW! Hey guys, what are we doing?”

May rolled her eyes. “We’re studying pages eight to eighteen, atoms,” she said, in a playfully scolding voice.

“Right. Atoms. Got that, Serena?”

She nodded, then brought out her own science book, beginning to study. Or look like she was studying. Really she just needed a distraction from the hot guy right next to her.

~|~|~|~|~|~|~

Fía dusted herself off. Ugh. Her powers were low, and decided to go  completely  bonkers, making her zoom right into the girl’s leg. And apparently one or all of the Pokegirls are located here. In this… place. Where adolescents gather.

Which meant her Pokegirl was most likely an adolescent.

Why? Why would Fate choose a teenager, for Arceus’ sake! Why not someone more emotionally stable?

She put her Fate-doubting thoughts in the back of her mind for now. Right now she needed to navigate through the interior of her partner’s home. Or hive. Whatever.

Middletown High, huh?

Humans are weird.

~|~|~|~|~|~

Lunchtime. Serena’s stomach rumbled as she looked for a place to sit without drawing attention to herself. All the books she read told her that falling face first in the cafeteria was  not  an ideal first impression.

“Heyyyyy! Serena!”

Her cheeks flushed when she turned and saw Ash, who was sitting across the room with Brock, May and another girl she didn’t know, a bluenette. What a nice hair color. Walking over, she chose a seat next to May. “Hi again,” she said, then turned to the blue haired girl. “My name’s Serena, nice to meet you!”

The other girl smirked, taking a sip of her drink. “Miette,” she said after a gulp. “ Nice to meet you. ” The tone she took sent a shiver down Serena’s spine. Creepy. I take back what I said in my mind about your hair.

Putting on a cheerful face, she opened her lunch, which was a salad and sandwich with turkey.

“Ah, I see you’re a meat-eater,” sneered Miette. Serena looked up at her for a few moments before recognizing what the comment meant.

“You’re a vegan?”

May’s face went slightly pale. Brock coughed, nearly choking on his water. Ash was too busy eating to notice anything off with his group.

Miette kicked up her feet. “So? At least I don’t eat the cooked remains of hardly well kept animals.”

Serena felt a wave of rage go through her. Calm yourself. Making a scene won’t help. She let out a shaky breath, and spent the rest of lunch thinking profanities at Miette, who leered on, while the others had their lunch in uncomfortable silence.

~|~|~|~|~|~|~|~

P.E. Oh, how she hated P.E.

Let’s face it,  Serena reasoned as she ran. My legs weren’t built for running. Or jumping. Or most physical activities. I mainly use my legs for transportation to the fridge.

Delicious food,  she mused dreamily, practically drooling as her thoughts turned to food. Delicious food in the fridge.Think of it waiting for me at home. Ice cream. ICE CREAM!

“You’re doing great!” A familiar voice sounded through her ears. She turned and realized Ash was already done with his laps and was cheering her on. “You can do it!”

Once again, a blush appeared on Serena’s face as she was filled with new motivation. Half for Ash and half for the ice cream, Serena sprinted as fast as she could, becoming –

Last to finish. Oh well, at least P.E. wasn’t everything.

“Guess you aren’t built for running, are you newbie?”

Panting heavily, Serena turned and saw May and another girl, one with gorgeous long dark violet hair and stunning dark skin. She looked a bit like May in physique; both were well-built and looked made for sports.

“Yeah, these noodle legs aren’t made for track.”

May introduced the other girl eagerly. “Hey Serena, I want you to meet Iris. Iris, Serena.”

Serena wiped her forehead, then stretched her hand out. “Nice to meet you.”

Iris grinned, then grabbed her hand and shook it energetically. Then brought her in for a hug.

While Serena appreciated the sentiment, her bones were getting crushed. “Ok, ok, can’t breathe.”

The hug loosened as Iris giggled. “Sorry, I’m like that. Can’t really find a person’s personal space.”

May slapped Iris on the back. “You won’t have to worry about that with me though.” Iris let out another laugh. May turned to Serena. “Serena, want to sit with Iris and me tomorrow? I noticed you were a tad uncomfortable with The Drama Queen of Mean over there.”

Serena chuckled. “A tad? Really?” She was liking May more and more. Especially because of the nickname she’d given to Miette.

May punched her in the arm playfully. “Hey, I know vocabulary. I’m not a dumb jock, unlike Ash. By the way, he’s looking over here.”

Serena’s head whipped around faster than a comet. “Where?! Oh gosh, where?!”

May and Iris shared a look. They squealed like five year olds, almost hysterically. Like they  knew  something.

Serena’s flush from running deepened. “Sh-shut up, guys! He’ll hear you!”  Oh gosh, don’t look over here Ash. Don’t look.

May pushed down her case of the giggles, trying to act calm and serious. “Okay, okay, but really, him? Ash? Why not… um… Derek? Nah, not him. Look, how’d we even get talking about this? We’ll save it for lunch gossip. That’s if you’ll join us, Serena.” She looked in Serena’s direction and, without missing a beat, asked her the important, life-changing question. Well, life-changing for Serena.

“So, are you in?”

Serena thought for a minute. They seem nice. I’ll have good friends, won’t be lonely or bothered by Miette. Er, The Drama Queen Of Mean. And they know Ash! How could I lose?

She beamed at the pair. “I’m in.”

~|~|~|~|~|~

As all the students streamed out, Fia lay in wait. A part of her would supposedly light up when her Pokegirl came close to her.

“If only they had said  which  part! UGH!” Fia kicked a bunch of rock, which flew into the leg of an unsuspecting student that coughed and mutter something about allergies, whatever those were, and walked away faster.

Stupid humans. Pathetic humans. Horrible, nasty smelling planet.

A glow emitted from her paw.

“OH MY GOSH! Okay, okay, calm down. Focus. Where are they?”

There was hardly anyone left there, except for –

Fudgesticks. That girl I bumped into. Oh well, now or never. They’ll be coming here soon, wanting to expand their borders. I can’t wait for them.

Fia cleared her throat, which elicited a reaction from the girl. “Hi,” Fia began, startling the girl, who was looking for the origin of the voice.

“Who are you? I – I know martial arts!” And in a smaller voice, “Please don’t kill me.”

Fia sneered. “Please. I don’t know what ‘martial arts’ is, but I know you don’t have it.” The girl was still looking around fearfully, and, in Fia’s case, annoyingly. She walked straight near her legs, poking her. “WOULD YOU LOOK DOWN! Gosh, you humans have NO respect for little Pokémon!”

“CRAP! A TALKING PINK CAT! GET AWAY!”

Fia sighed tiredly. Stay calm. She  is  your Pokegirl. She has hidden potential. Hopefully. “Hi,” she began again. “My name’s Fia, and you’re my Pokegirl.”

The girl, who looked  this  close to running away, bent down curiously, all traces of fear gone. “Pokegirl? What’s that? And what  are  you?” She picked Fia up and shook her a bit, even turning her upside down.

“PLEASE STOP!! THAT HURTS OW OUCH OWWWW!!!”

The teen put her down, worried that she might’ve hurt the cat. Shaking herself off angrily, Fia replied to her questions.

“First of all, the Pokegirls are the chosen ones destined to save my world. You are one of them, however inadequate you seem. Secondly, I am a Pokémon, a creature native to my world. You humans are so weird.”

The girl sighed. “Another world? Me? Chosen one? Wouldn’t that be something?” She got up, looking somber. “Like I could be someone like that. Anyways, I better get home. Bye Fia.” She started jogging away. It was all a prank, she reminded herself. They love to pick on newbies. Pfft. Like I could be something special. She then wondered about “Fia”’s word choice. Pokegirl? Is that from some kind of game or something?

Fia grunted angrily before using a bit of her magic to keep pace with the ignorant human. “I’m not joking, stop! Really -“

But Fia was interrupted by a loud cackle. Looking up, her eyes widened with realization and dread.

A large shadow covered the sky. Two silhouettes sped down, eyes glowing red-green.

“Fudgesticks.”

~|~|~|~|~|~|~

Serena gasped. A feeling of alarm washed over her as her head began to hurt intensely. Almost like the life was being sucked from her.

“Human!” It was Fia, the magical creature from another planet. “You’ve got to transform, now!”

Serena looked up at the ‘Pokémon’. A fiery rage was in her eyes, and all the sarcasm on Serena’s species vanished. Wow. I’m guessing this isn’t a prank. Unless they got a very, very big set.

One of the people-shadows suddenly whipped out a grey ball. “Go, Shadow Koffing!”

A black, deformed ball of… something, came out of the smaller ball, looking just barely alive. Disgust and fear mixed together in her stomach, making Serena want to vomit. “Fia, what is that?!”

Fia had gone extremely blue. “Oh..” Her voice was a mere whisper, and had Serena not been standing right next to the Sylveon, she surely would not have heard her. “Oh no.”

This sent Serena into full-blown panic mode. “WHAT DO YOU MEAN OH NO?!?!” The Shadow Koffing blasted a car with some black snot-like substance. Nope. Definitely real. Defffinitely real.

That snapped Fia out of her trance. “I MEAN THESE ARE THE PEOPLE YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO FIGHT AGAINST!!”

“WELL HOW THE HECK AM I SUPPOSED TO DO THAT?!”

Fia rolled her eyes and pressed her ribbon-like feeler to her temple. “Child. I am working with a child.” After settling down her anger, she concentrated hard and pulled a sparkly pink brooch out of her flower. “Take this, touch it with your index finger, and say the words ‘Now become a warrior for peace! Transform!!’. Got it?”

Serena nodded, taking the brooch and pinning it to herself. This is happening. Really happening. It’s like an anime of something. She took a deep breath, willing everything inside of her to be calm. Like a normal person could be calm when they find out they have a huge destiny to fulfill. Right.

Fingers grazing the surface of the gem-like brooch, she recited the words with a vigor she didn’t know she had. “Now become a warrior for peace! Transform!!”

A dazzling iridescent light shot out of the brooch, covering Serena from head to toe, lifting her off the sidewalk. She closed her eyes and felt the powers of a thousand supernovas wash over her, threatening to explode her body for being such a small container of the power. Dang, that was deep.

When she opened her eyes, she stretched out, watching as her hair went up into two large side ponytails, her shirt become a gorgeous pink bodice with a heart at the center, her jeans change into a poofy skirt tried with a bow in the back, and her flats grow and become pink boots, all adorned with hearts.

Then the words spilled out her mouth, almost naturally. “Sparkling, glittering, protector of Love! Pokegirl Serena!”

She dropped back onto the ground, into a fighting stance. Wow. I bet I look really cool.

“Really? The little girl thinks she can defeat us?” A male voice boomed.

A female talked back. “Hmmm… stupid brat. All we wanted was the little furball, but you just had to go along with it’s instructions. Oh well, at least you’ll get a quick death for being so innocent.”

Now transformed, Serena realized she had no idea was to do. “Pssst, Fia. Now what?”

Fia sputtered, frustration on her face clear. “N-now what?! I have clearly underestimated your incompetence, human! Arceus! Just call out an attack, like so – Charm!”

“Gee, you don’t have to be so rude! Alright, Charm!”

Nothing happened. The air filled with more evil laughs.

“Oh, you also have to blow a kiss for that attack.”

“CHARM!!” Serena frantically blew kisses left and right. I can’t die! I’m finally doing something important in my life! One hit the Shadow Koffing right in the forehead, knocking it down.

“Koffing!” One of the figures reached out, trying to reach the falling Pokemon, the one with the feminine voice. Then she stomped on the air furiously. “UGH! I  HATE  LITTLE KIDS!”

“Ok, Serena, you’ve got them where you want them,” muttered Fia underneath her breath. “Now, touch your heart, focus yourself, and call out ‘Dazzling Gleam’!”

“Got it,” replied Serena, closing her eyes. “Focus.”  Focus. Focus on the people you’re saving. Mom. Shauna. May. Iris. Ash. All of them. This is your destiny. Fate chose you.

Fate chose  you.

She let out a grunt, snapping her eyes open and stretch out her hands in a heart shape. “Dazzling GLEAM!”

A large amount of swirling, twirling, sparkling white light gathered towards Serena’s hands, forming a huge ball that shot out as a beam. Whoa, thought Serena. A laser.

The beam hit the Koffing and the mysterious figures, who were calling out profanities before these disappeared. The Koffing tar-like goop flew off, revealing a still-but-slightly-less-revolting purple creature underneath, who suddenly flashed and disappeared too. They sky reverted back to it’s normal sunset color, and almost everything looked normal – except the smashed car, of course. Serena’s Pokegirl outfit faded back into her original clothes.

A few seconds of silence passed. Then Serena threw her arms around Fia, shouting wildly. “WOOOOOHOOOO! I DID IT!!”

Fia felt a rush of warmth at being hugged, but quickly dismissed the emotion. “Calm down, calm down!” She called out annoyedly. This didn’t wipe off the giddy smile on Serena’s face. “I guess I might’ve underestimated you, human.”

“Oh, you can just call me Serena,” Serena exclaimed excitedly.

“Serena. Still, there are many, many more threats-“

“Oh yeah, I know. I’ve watched enough anime to know what happens now. Although, usually the little creatures from another world can transform into cellphones or something. Can  you  -“

“No, I cannot transform. Also, ‘anime’?” Fia looked cautiously curious.

Serena nodded. Picking up Fia, she started jogging home. “I’ll tell you all about it later. Woo-hoo! I’m a Pokegirl!!” She jumped up. “This is gonna be GREAT!”

Fía rolled her eyes. This’ll be one loooong rescue mission.
