CH 1 – TAKE ME WITH YOU
_______________


Drigil
How about Aqua escapes the facility, is being chased by this thing that I just showed you.
Then we have Marcus just walking along, home from school-
Wait, no. He failed a test and is hesitant to bring it home, so he's sort of ducking low a bit, wandering around a quiet neighbourhood.
Probably a collision involved.
Marcus: Dangit. My dad's gonna chew me out this time. Can... can I retake this?
Marcus: No, teach said he wouldn't give me no more second chances.
Marcus: Aw @#%$, I'm screwed. Gotta... gotta think. Could I... could I just tear up this and-
WHAM

Yoshigamer2988YT
I actually have another idea... he's walking home from school after having a bad day and he suddenly hears crying from a box...he opens it just to see aqua hugging a beaten up Eevee plush...

Drigil
OK. Reverting.
Marcus: Aw @#$%, I'm screwed. Gotta... gotta think. Could I... could I just tear this up and-...
Marcus: ... wait, what's that sound?
Marcus: Peers into nearby alleyway between two large apartments
Marcus: Ehh... nah, I shouldn't get myself involved...
Marcus: Ah, but if someone's in trouble, I won't get any sleep tonight.
Marcus: [Approaches alleyway entrance] Uh, hello? Is there someone here?

Yoshigamer2988YT
he finds a box where the crying is coming from

Drigil
Marcus: Is this- oh geez, i hope this isn't a kid who's run away from home...
Marcus: [Picks up a stick and gingerly pries the lid open]
Marcus: [Looks inside]
Marcus: Oh @#%$. Good, it's just a pokemon...
Marcus: I'll just... maybe just... back away slowly?

Yoshigamer2988YT
he sees it's a weird Pokemon hybrid...
and it was a girl...she looked so scared

Drigil
Marcus: ... what the heck kinda pokemon are you now?
Marcus: Although, you don't look too dirty or feral. You must have an owner.
Marcus: is there... maybe I should call out to someone?

Yoshigamer2988YT
???: I...I have...no...owner...

Drigil
Marcus: [Looks out to alleyway] Woah. Hello? Who's there?
Marcus: What did you mean you-... wait...
Marcus: you have... no...
Marcus: [Peering into box] Holy smokes, was that YOU?!

Yoshigamer2988YT
she nods

Drigil
Marcus: You... you can...
Marcus: OK. Ok. No, this.. this is... no, this is too weird.
Marcus: [Backing away] I'm just... no, I'm not having any of this. I'm outta here.
Marcus: [Turns back to alleyway, sees there's something there:]
[Enter the ekans/zubat/koffing hybrid, floating menacingly in the opening]
Marcus: [Stunned into silence]
The creature, wings flapped, floats into the alleyway, flicking its tongue out towards Marcus
Marcus: [Petrified] What... are... you...
The creature loses interest in Marcus immediately, instead tries to get past him

Yoshigamer2988YT
???: NO... don't let it get me!

Drigil
Marcus: [Silent gasp]
The creature doesn't respond to the sound, though
Marcus: [Slowly positions himself in the way of the box]
The creature floats around him, and Marcus edges himself so he's standing practically over the box. Since the creature is not interested in Marcus, he uses his body as a sort of shield
Eventually the creature takes one last look at Marcus, hisses angrily, and flies off
Marcus: That... was... the scariest thing... that's ever... happened to me...
Marcus: [Looks over at the box] OK, what the @#$% did I just get myself into?

Yoshigamer2988YT
she hugged his leg

Drigil
Marcus: Oh woah woah woah. Gross! You're in an alleyway. I don't wanna catch any diseases or nothing.

Yoshigamer2988YT
???: O-oh.. sorry... She backs away

Drigil
Marcus: OK, what... wh- what was that thing? What's going on here?
Marcus: I've never seen the likes or either of you.
Marcus: What... what ARE you?
Marcus: I mean, this is awkward, but usually Pokemon speak using their names, so having to ask them...

Yoshigamer2988YT
???: I'm...a hybrid Pokemon...

Drigil
Marcus: A hybrid?
Marcus: Never heard of that before.

Yoshigamer2988YT
???: I'm...a Riolu and popplio hybrid... I'm Aqua

Drigil
Marcus: Oh. Aqua. Um... hi, I guess? I'm Marcus.
Marcus: I'm... just guy... on his way home...
Marcus: ... like, right now.

Yoshigamer2988YT
Aqua: can I come?

Drigil
Marcus: Oh. Um... I, uh... I... would... um... prefer you... didn't...
Marcus: Although... if that thing returns...
Marcus: I... aah, dangit, what do I do...
Marcus: Ah, I don't like this. First I fail my exam, and now I've gotta bring home this... thing, and...
# ah.... [sigh]. Ok, look... Aqua...
Marcus: I'm, just... I'm not the right... guy... to help you.
Marcus: Look, I'm sure there's a lot of humans who would be better equipped to keep you safe.
Marcus: I mean, I don't even have a Pokemon. I'm not a trainer. I'm just a guy who works at a gas station.
Marcus: I can't do anything.

Yoshigamer2988YT
Aqua: n-no... please...
Aqua: please.. I don't wanna be alone... please...

Drigil
Marcus: [Breathing quickly and sweating, pondering his options]
Marcus: Um... OK, listen. What if... what if I take you to the police?
Marcus: Tell them that there's something after you?

Yoshigamer2988YT
Aqua: no... please... they'll take me back to them... please... She started crying...
Aqua: your the only human who actually helped me... please...

Drigil
Marcus: ... aw man, if even the police are after you...
Marcus: [Grasps forehead with hand] ... ah man...
Marcus: ... you... don't have a poke-ball or anything, do you?
Marcus: Cause, you know, I don't know how to hide you otherwise, if those things are patrolling the streets.

Yoshigamer2988YT
Aqua: no...I don't wanna be in a pokeball... just keep me in the box and take me in the box...home

Drigil
Marcus: Yeah, but this box... it's all wet and...
Marcus: ... my backpack.
Marcus: [Pulls his backpack off, looks through the contents]
Marcus: ... oh man, this might be tight...
Marcus: Like, today was test day, so I didn't bring many books, but...

Yoshigamer2988YT
Aqua: I might fit...

Drigil
Marcus: ... aw man, what am I doing...
Marcus: Alright, just... here, I'll take my books out. Let's see if we can get you inside.

Yoshigamer2988YT
he makes enough room for her.. but he has a towel and he dried aqua off

Drigil
Marcus: Good thing I don't sweat much in gym class...

Yoshigamer2988YT
he picked her up and put her in his backpack.. surprisingly...she really wasn't that heavy...

Drigil
Marcus: Aw man, now I got two things to hide...
Marcus: [Puts backpack on, creeps out of alleyway, watching around]
Marcus: Ok, good, I don't see those things around.
Marcus: I'll just... walk home... perfectly normally.
Marcus: [Proceeds to walk home... slowly... cautiously]
