Marvel Runaways/Pokemon AU Second Instalment

So people liked the first one. So I made another! (just a note, the word Sl*t is used in this chapter)

You can read it here, or you can read it below!

If you have any requests for more chapters, what you want to see, or what you want to have involving the runaways and Pokemon, let me know by sending me an ask or whatever!

Anyways, enjoy!

Nico had to say, the day honestly hadn't been bad until Karolina lost her contest by a fraction of points.

It was close. Very close. Rockruff had battled the best he could, but after one to many had steel type moves he had been down for the count. The five friends had watched with a wincing gaze as Karolina lost a chance at a ribbon.

"That was hard." Alex sighed, "Karolina had a rough time thinking up a good strategy against a Pokemon who wasn't affected by any of Rockruff's moves."

"Especially since Mawile's a steel type as well as a fairy type." Chase added dejectedly.

"We should go check on her." Nico mumbled, watching Karolina put on a brave face for her Pokemon, who was giving her a saddened look. Karolina mumbled something, and the canine Pokemon rumbled against her chest.

"Definitely." Molly said, and the five of them got up and went down to the coordinators room.

When they got there, things went from bad to worse.

A girl with long brown hair was talking to Karolina with a malicious smirk on her face, and Karolina was bright red.

"How does it feel Karolina? How does it feel to be outmatched by my Mawile in every way possible?"

Karolina clenched her fists. "Don't even bother Eiffel. It was one contest, and last I checked I've beaten you twice before."

Eiffel hummed. "Well I wouldn't just call it luck. You and your other friends can waltz around and pretend to be Pokemon Trainers all you want, but don't think for one second I don't know you just want to be adventuring with Chase Stein you slut-"

"What did you just say to her?"

So that was how Gert managed to get Eiffel, Karolina's not so nice coordinating rival, to have a full on Pokemon battle with her outside the contest hall. Gert was standing on one side of the open field, and Eiffel on the other. Gert was seething, staring down Eiffel, who just seemed to feed off of her anger.

Alex and Molly were mumbling quickly to each other, casting Gert worried expressions. Nico had her hand rubbing circles on Karolina's back, who looked like she was going to be sick with worry. She hated having her friends fight her battles for her. Chase would referee, but it looked like he didn't want to. His jaw was clenched, and his eyes blazed with rage when he looked at Eiffel. It was clear that he was just as angry, if not more so, than their other friends.

Now it wasn't like Nico wasn't mad. Hell, she was pissed off. Nobody called Karolina a slut and got away with it, but Nico knew that between a competent coordinator like Eiffel and a casual battler like Gert, it wasn't going to be an easy match for Gert to win. So, walking hesitantly towards Gert, she mumbled a few quick words to her.

"Gert, are you sure you want to do this?"

Gert looked at her with shock. "Are you kidding? I'm not backing down to her!"

Nico realized she had said the wrong thing.

"No, that's not what I mean." Nico took a break, looking confused as to how to continue, before exhaling, "maybe you should let me battle instead!"

"No way! I'm not throwing away this chance to kick the shit out of her!" Gert growled, turning back to face Eiffel, "go sit and watch Nico, I'm about to demolish her."

Gert glanced over at Karolina, and her eyes narrowed at the girl who was visibly shaking.

"Make sure Karolina's okay. I'll handle this."

Nico wouldn't say no to that. Heading back over to Karolina, who seemed to calm down at her return, she turned to watch Gert one more time. Her eyes had lit up once again, and she clenched her fist.

"I'm ready when you are you hateful bitch!"

Eiffel looked slightly shocked at the rage in Gert's eyes, but quickly recovered, waving for Chase to start the match.

"Each trainer will use one Pokemon! The battle ends when the Pokemon can no longer battle!" Chase said, clearly clenching his teeth and wishing he were in Gert's place. "Begin!"

Eiffel took out a Pokeball and tossed it lazily. "Let's finish this girls petty little Pokemon quickly Lopunny!"

In a quick flash of white, the rabbit Pokemon appeared, flicking its cotton ears in understanding.

Gert's rage quickly evaporated, her face contorting to a smirk. Alex and Molly released a breath, Chase looked amused, and Nico let out a laugh.

"What's the deal you purple haired freak?" Eiffel growled, clearly annoyed, "do you want to battle or not!"

Gert's smirk just widened as she picked up her Pokeball. All five friends knew what she was thinking, hell, even Karolina let out a little smile.

"Let's show her what we got Old Lace!" she cried, tossing her Pokeball in the air.

The dinosaur Pokemon landed on the ground and roared, and Eiffel's face whitened. Lopunny took a few steps back.

"This petty little Pokemon is ready to go on your mark Eiffel!" Gert said, looking rather smug.

So the battle began.

Nico had to give Eiffel some credit. (Not much though, she still was furious at how Karolina was still shaking, even with Nico rubbing soothing circles into her back.) She really did try. Quick Attack and Dizzy Punch were smartly times moves, but when Old Lace was hit she got back up as though nothing had touched her. Nico took a breath in when Eiffel called for Charm, but Old Lace, as though feeling the rage Gert felt, shook it off like it was nothing. Finally, as though Eiffel had finally clicked in what she should do, Jump Kick landed. This attack seemed to hit Old Lace hard, she reeled from the kick and roared in anger.

Gert, enraged that her Pokemon had been injured, pointed at Eiffel's Pokemon angrily and yelled for Dragon Claw, and Old Lace obeyed, slashing the rabbit Pokemon with angry claws. Lopunny sailed backwards, hitting the ground hard. Due to Eiffel's angry screeching, she did get up, just barely. Gert, feeling sorry for the Pokemon, cried out another attack, this time Bulldoze. This time, when Old Lace charged into Lopunny she did not get up, and Chase called to end the battle.

"Lopunny is unable to battle! Gert is the winner!"

Eiffel, returning her Pokemon and screeching about freaks, stormed away angrily. Gert whooped loudly, rubbing Old Lace's head and calling out after the fleeing coordinator. "How does it feel Eiffel! That's what you get for calling my friend a slut!"

Chase, Molly, and Alex cheered, racing over and giving Gert high fives. Nico didn't move, looking to Karolina with concern.

"Are you alright? That was really nasty of her." Nico murmured, moving the hand that was rubbing circles on her back to her shoulder. She squeezed it reassuringly. "I know you hate watching us fight your battles. But we're your friends! We're never going to leave you to deal with people like her on your own."

Karolina looked up to meet Nico's eyes, and Nico saw them glimmering with uncertainty.

"Seriously Nico? You think girls like Eiffel are the reason I'm worried?"

Nico tilted her head, looking confused. "Well… I mean yeah. She did call you a-"

"I know what she called me!" Karolina snapped back, and Nico recoiled, pulling her hand away quickly and taking a few steps backwards. Karolina immediately looked guilty.

"I'm sorry… I didn't mean to yell at you like that." She murmured, this time being the one to step forward and meet her gaze again. "I'm just anxious."

Nico looked searchingly into her eyes, waiting for her to continue. After a deep breath, she did.

"I'm worried because if Gert is willing to charge into battle to defend me, which if we're being honest with ourselves, if it wasn't her it would have been you or Chase or even Alex or Molly-"

"As if Gert would let Molly fight," Nico added, shaking her head.

"Exactly, but that's not the point." Karolina said, biting her lip nervously, "Let's say the threat wasn't Eiffel for a minute. What if it was our parents or some other goons from Team Pride?"

It suddenly clicked into place for Nico. Of course that was what Karolina was worried about. The last time they had run from their parents and Karolina hadn't.

"You guys have to go. He came for me."

There was a moment of pause. All five friends looked to one another in shock at Karolina's outburst. They had been caught trying to foil one of their parents scarier plans, a giant drill planning on digging up some unknown thing below the surface.

Their parents were there, all of them standing without their Pokemon, as though they had rushed over to face their children and forgotten them. But there was one person there who had a Pokemon. Jonah.

Nico and the others had no idea who Jonah was, other than the fact that he seemed to have complete power over Team Pride. Standing there, with a Pokemon that none of the runaways had ever seen before. Alex, in a fleeting moment before Karolina's problematic outburst, had pulled out his red Pokedex to try and get some fact, but he found nothing. The Pokemon didn't seem to exist at all.

It had a gas based body, with two strange extensions, yellow eyes, and strange blue cheeks. It didn't look powerful at all, not until Jonah had seemly ordered it to attack with its mind. The small Pokemon seemed to telepathically push all of the teenagers back, landing hard on the floor.

Nico's opinion of the Pokemon had changed. It was most definitely scary. But not nearly as scary as Karolina offering herself up as some kind of diversion.

"What?" Alex responded, shocked.

"Are you crazy?" Chase exclaimed, looking at her like she was mad.

Nico however, was completely unable to process that as an option. "We're not leaving you."

"I'll hold him off and I'll meet you outside okay?" She insisted.

Now Nico was starting to panic.

"Don't do this please, I'm begging you! You- you can't do this alone!" She looked to the others, but all of them had grim faces, knowing that now was the only time to go. It didn't help that their parents, their own evil parents, we're yelling too. Yelling at them to run. She didn't need any more shitty advice from them.

"Go! Go!" Karolina ordered, and Alex and Chase started to move, grabbing Molly and dragging them with her. Nico didn't budge.

"I'm not leaving you!" She cried, but Karolina just started at her.

"Nico, go."

Then she didn't have a choice. Gert grabbed her and tugged her away just as Karolina called Espeon out of her Pokeball. Nico might have been hysterical, but she could have sworn her Umbreon's Pokeball was shaking in protest, wanting to fight alongside Karolina.

"None of us think that we owe you one Karolina." Nico spoke gently.

That much was true. The others had quickly come to Karolina's defense, much to Nico's own insistence, and rescued her with the help of their Pokemon back at Leslie's Legendary Pokemon Research Facility and broken her out.

"I know you don't." Karolina responded back, clearly still troubled. "But now, because I did what I thought was best, everybody is trying to be a hero. Everybody is more willing to risk their own safety and their Pokémon's safety fighting battles I should have been able to finish!"

"Don't think like that." Nico hissed, and this time it was Karolina's turn to jump. Looking at Nico in shock, the goth girl quickly continued, "whatever trouble our parents and that freak Jonah are cooking up, it's a lot more than what you and Espeon could handle. Besides, Jonah doesn't know how much stronger we've all gotten! He doesn't know how much harder we've been working, and he certainly doesn't know about how we are all going to stick together if we ever face him again. You can count on that Karolina!"

Nico wasn't expecting Karolina to fling herself onto her. The hug was long, Karolina's arms wrapped around Nico, who returned the hug with just as much enthusiasm. When Nico hesitantly pulled apart, she met Karolina's eyes with ferocious intensity.

"The only way to figure this out is to stick together ok?"

Karolina nodded, exhaling shaking and letting out a breathy laugh. "Ok."

"Hey guys!

Nico and Karolina turned at the sound of their friends voices.

"Look what Princess left behind!" Chase held up a bright pink wallet gleefully, and Alex immediately crossed his arms.

"We're not stealing her wallet Chase! We're not thief's."

"He speaks the truth!" Nico called, walking over with Karolina at her side. She shot Alex a cheeky smile, "but technically… Gert is owed her money for winning the battle."

Gert and Molly roared with laughter, and Chase grinned and tossed Gert the wallet. Alex rolled his eyes disdainfully, but didn't protest. Opening it up, Gert whistled at the amount of cash inside.

"Jeez, it looks like she has some money to spare."

They all crowed around and blinked in amazement. That was more money than what they had spent their entire four months on the run.

Gert scooped out a couple bills. "This should do. She won't even know it went missing."

She was about to give the wallet back to Chase when, to everyone's surprise, Karolina scooped up the wallet and took one bill for herself, before tossing the wallet to a baffled Chase.

When she noticed the eyes on her, she lifted a brow. "What? She was the one who called me a slut, the least she can do is buy us pizza tonight."

Nodding in agreement, the runaways tossed the pink wallet back on the grass where Eiffel previously stood, and headed out to the nearest pizzeria, laughing and joking around as though Karolina had won a ribbon.
