Loki
#1 of A World of Power and Pleasure
One night out in the many plains in the land of Pokémon there was a lost Kadabra sitting on the ground thinking. It knew not how it got there nor who put it there. All he remembered was a bright flash and the fuzzy feeling of sensory deprivation. Before that event he was only a cowardly abra without true thoughts or emotions, which means he had evolved in the place he was kept.
His memories as an abra were still there but very blurry and he pondered over the events which occurred before the bright flash. He found nothing that he understood there. So, he stood up, turned and looked into the distance. He saw some lights in the distance of a farm. "Well, here I go," he said as he started to walk toward the lights. As soon as he said that he clamped his hands over his mouth in realization. "I can talk," he exclaimed in delight. "I can talk," he repeated even louder.
It's not common for Pokémon to be able to talk, it's normally a sign of either extreme genius in a Pokémon or genetic manipulation. And as this Kadabra knew itself to be only semi-smart it had to be genetic experimentation, but by who? The Kadabra did not know this information and was just very happy to speak.
His screams of happiness just so happened to be heard by one of the farmers daughters out on a midnight stroll. As she walked over the Kadabra sensed danger starting to come across the field, however this danger was not human. It was going after the human though. He sensed the human shortly after the danger. His delight was silenced and he started to run as fast as his untrained legs would carry him. He arrived to see the human take a sharp horn in her leg by a very strong Rapidash. She yelled in agony and something deep within the Kadabra stirred.
A great power swelled up inside of him, he sent all of this energy unthinking straight into the side of the Rapidash. What happened to the Rapidash does not need to be said. The amount of power released equaled around Sixty-Seven Giga-watts, more than some power plants put out. You could say he vaporized the Pokémon since there was nothing left but a small crater where it was.
The girl however was long unconscious. She was still bleeding from her leg. The Kadabra was faced with a choice, it could help the girl and possibly put itself in more danger or it could leave her there and hope for the best. This may be a simple choice for humans, but it is not however easy for an uneducated and unloved Pokémon. As he started to walk away he felt her stir, "Please, help..." The Kadabra turned around and looked at her, she was cute. Her age was hard to tell, he looked in her mind for minute to learn about her. The burst of power earlier forced him to remember how to use his powers as to not hurt her.
She was fifteen, strong-willed, and her name was Sarah. He sensed all her vitals were starting to fail, it seemed the Rapidash had hit the artery in her thigh. The Kadabra did not know how to heal anything but it could transport her to a Pokémon Center. One of the skills he remembered was teleport. So he sent her to a Center and he soon followed.
He made her hover in midair and follow him into the Center. As they came in people moved out of the way, forced by his telekinetic powers to the side. He yelled at the Nurse to come help, her response was slow and Sarah's heart was fluttering.
"What happened?," the Nurse said.
"Wild Rapidash," the Kadabra answered.
The Nurse seemed to recoil from his words. 'That was unexpected," she said still surprised from a Pokémon talking.
"Please help her," he said.
"We will," she replied.
For over six hours he waited in the lobby for her to get out of surgery. He watched all the kids play outside with their newly caught Pokémon. 'Will I be like them, trapped in those little balls without free will' he thought. Should I try to help these humans, they seem to have good intentions. Just then the nurse came out of the E.R. "What happened to this girl in detail, I need to know. And her parents need to be notified of this," she asked. He told the Nurse about the events that happened in the field, when he was done she said "You are incredibly powerful for a Pokémon that has just evolved The part about the sensory deprivation, no-one does that to Pokémon anymore. It was outlawed a few years ago. It was considered cruel to keep a being's mind there without feeling. Do you remember anything as an abra?" The Kadabra replied "No, it is all fuzzy, I think they brainwashed me or something. You said I was powerful, why?
She was silent for a minute, then she said "Your powers are directly linked to your mind and your cognitive abilities. Just being able to talk and think shows us you are above average, but what you did to that Rapidash. That is unheard of even in my profession. If you would like to we can do some quick tests on you to see your potential."
"But first," she continued "we need to know your name."
"A name?," he asked "I don't have a name."
"Well then," she said "we will have to find you one. Would you possibly let the girl you rescued name you?"
"I don't know. That's pretty big... Would I have to go inside one of those little balls those kids are playing with." He pointed to the kids outside of the glass door with his long finger.
"Not if you don't want to," she replied.
"Nurse," one of the surgeons called out to her from the E.R. "she is awake."
"Good timing," the Nurse said to the Kadabra.
As the girl awoke she noticed the red cross on the wall first, then everything started coming back to her from the time in the field. First the running and playing, then the Rapidash coming straight for her, the impalement in her leg. Then the memory of the Kadabra saving her returned to her in an instant.
"Nurse," She thought she said yet it only came out as a moan. She tried again "uhhrse," she could not form words.
Just then the nurse came in, "Save your energy, you have lost a lot of blood. Your very lucky, if that Kadabra wasn't there you may not have survived. Rest, you need it." At that she left the room to go back to the Kadabra.
"She is very determined to meet you I think," she said to him "although you probably should not question her very much."
"Thank you," he said.
"By the way, would it be okay to give her energy. I think I can do that," He asked
She replied "She best thing for her now is rest, but you can try. If you succeed though, don't blow her up like you did that Rapidash." He hoped she was joking on that last part.
"Hello Sarah," he said as he walked into the E.R. room.
"oo ca' 'alk," she tried to say with her weakened voice, even though no one else the room understood her Kadabra did, he could understand her mind by reading it.
He said back to her "Yes, but we can talk faster with our minds. If you don't mind, we can do that."
"Es," was her answer. As soon as the Kadabra entered her mind she felt as if a heavy weight was set on her as its massive consciousness invaded her brain. However as soon as that feeling came it was gone replaced with what felt like energy. 'I cannot give you blood, but I can give you the energy to heal yourself,' he said into her mind.
"wha," she said out loud.
'Think, and I will hear you,' again she heard the voice within her, it echoed slightly.
'Okay, I'm thinking. Can you hear me,' she thought.
'Yes, I can,' he replied.
'Whoa, this is messed up. I feel violated and safe at the same time,' she thought.
'It has that effect. Okay, I know your name is Sarah. But to know my name you need to name me. I have decided to become yours... even if it means being in one of those little Pokéballs,' he said.
'Why me,' she asked.
'I almost left you to bleed out on those plains, I owe it to you to be your Pokémon,' he replied.
'Well then, do you really want this,' she said.
'Yes, if it makes you happy'
'Well, if you truly want this. Your new name will be Loki,' she said with pride, 'You know you're my first Pokémon.'
'I did know that, I hope your family will like me,' he said.
'They should, you saved my life,' she thought, 'If you don't mind Loki I would like to get some rest now, you understand.'
'You may rest, I will be waiting the lobby for you when you heal fully. I like my new name also, Loki, from all these people's memories a have gained the knowledge that that is the name of the Norse mythologies god of fire,' he said.
'Where going to have to work on that to, reading the minds of all around you is not polite,' and with that thought she fell asleep on her cot.
