Pokémon Cross: Cross Dimension

Chapter 11: New Roommate, Old Friend

A/N:

Blablablabla... here's the story.

Alex's POV:

"Ahhh." I sigh as I step in the shower, without my charm as I won't risk the water short-circuiting it, and let the jet's wash away all the tension in my muscles. Finally a moment alone even before meeting Mr. X and these Pokeumans, I was in the company of Luna and Orion. I enjoy their company but still... It's nice to just relax, even for just a little bit, and clear my head.

"Today has been busy, huh? Arceus, how did this even happen. The teleportation machine was on the other side of the room and it worked fine during its initial testing phase." I sigh. "okay, so let's go over what happened today at least."

In my head, I go back to what happened so far. I met with Principal Fishy and had a talk about my past and a not-so-brief history of this world. I decided to request the role of either a science teacher or a gym teacher. I chose both because as a science teacher I can give extra credit to students for helping with making my little 'gateway' home while as a gym teacher I can help them become better fighters since I know how to train pokémon and am quite good at it, despite my chosen profession back home... I begin to wonder how my father is doing before I freeze letting the water roll over me.

"Does he even know I'm alive... or is a crater all that's left of my lab?" I mumble to myself as I begin to tear up. "Will I ever even know for sure? Would he even recognize me now, I-NO! There is zero use thinking about that now! I'm a scientist damn it all! Think logically! I came here with technology I made! It may not have been on purpose but I simply need to recreate the same scenario and do things the exact same way. This will work and I will go home to my family and friends! ... only thing is... I don't know what went wrong..."

I turn off the water and step out of the shower. I shake myself off due to some weird instinct before grabbing the towel I brought in here with me.I turn off the water and step out of the shower. Oh, and apparently Mr. Phaedrus forgot to mention our dorm's other inhabitant...

*Cue Flashback*

I walk towards my temporary new home, and to my surprise, a red light scans me from where the doorknob would be before turning green.

"Authorized. Commander Garett, leader of Ark squad and Alex Shard, noobie," states a robotic female voice.

"Hey! What is the name of Arceus, why do you get a cool title and I get NOOBIE?!" I shout, slightly perturbed and majorly pissed. Whoever did this, I will make the Pokeuman pay.

I glare at Commander Parrot... is he smirking? I'm taking a mental picture(I'm a psychic type, so I can do that). I shake my head and when I enter the dorm, my jaw dropped in shock(not that I would ever admit to it). The room is much larger than I had expected, there was a living room and washroom, a small kitchen along with separate bedrooms for roommates. I see a shiny Lucario playing some strange game on a large 4K flat-screen TV, while Orion snores away in one of the rooms. That's when I spot Luna sitting beside the Lucario, clearly fascinated with the game on the screen.

Then I feel a small tap on the shoulder. "You ok there kiddo?"

"Am I OK?! This place is fricking amazing!!! Holy shit, it's like a five-star hotel room!!!" I state loudly.

"Well, I'm off. I'll see you later bud," says Commander Parrot. "Oh yeah, new kid, show Alex the cafeteria once you guys have met!"

"Yea, whatever, see ya later Commander Parrot!" I say trying not to physically push him out of the room.

Commander Parrot waves his hand as he walks back and shouts, "It's Commander Garett!!!"

I snicker and walk towards the shiny Lucario. Then the Lucario stops the game, takes off a pair of strangely shaped headphones and stands up, paw outstretched.

"Hey! My name's Samantha! I guess I'm supposed to show you around, we can do it now if you want..." says the shiny Lucario.

"... Wait a minute... that voice... SAMANTHA?! How the heck did you get here!?" my jaw drops the second time, with complete silence after my shout.

*End Flashback*

"Of course she had to visit when my lab decided to self destruct," I sigh as I enter my room, "she always did tend to show up at the most interesting times... I had hoped she had grown out of that."

I lay back on my bed with a towel still wrapped around my neck... or is it necks now? Does this tube thing count as a second neck? As I begin to contemplate my situation and the simplistic intricacies of my new species, I hear a knock at the door.

"Just a moment!" I call out, as I rush to put my necklace back on.

I unlocked the door and saw Samantha, Luna, and Orion just outside. But before they could tell me why they wanted to talk to me, Orion's stomach decided to do the honors. Knowing what was coming, I decided to take the lead and start talking with Samantha... lest their bickering scare off what little sense I have left.

"So what's for dinner tonight?" I ask Samantha as we begin walking towards what I assume is the Cafeteria.

"I believe it's smoked venison and mashed potatoes tonight," Samantha said thoughtfully, "Though I could be wrong as I haven't been here much longer than you."

"Fair en-" I was interrupted by a crash as the two behind us began the second phase of their usual argument... meaning it was time for me to enter and begin the third phase. Deep breaths, Alex. Deep breaths.

BOOM!!!

"YOU BLOODY MORONS!!! DO YOU WANT TO DESTROY THIS PLACE?!?! IF YOU TRY SOMETHING LIKE THIS AGAIN I WILL END YOUR RUDDY EXISTENCES DO YOU UNDERSTAND?!?!?!?!" I scream as they retrieve their heads from the floor.

"But-" They both start before seeing my glare, "SIRYESSIR!"

"Good." I say smiling sweetly, "Now march."

And with that done we continued following Samanta. Those two now being completely silent, while I hum a tune I made up... is there more distance between me and Samantha now? Nah, it's probably just my imagination.
