The P-Files
(Or Mulder and Scully's Excellent Adventure)
Authors Note: This little story is sort of like "The X-Files" meets
"Pokémon". I don't play Pokémon the video game but I do enjoy the
cartoon (among many others) and some of the fanfiction that I read on
the Web. I had this idea and thought it should be expressed. In order
to understand everything in this story it would help to be an X-Phile.
This is my first fanfiction. It is rated "PG".
Chapter 1-The Portal
FBI Special Agent Dana Scully tapped on the door to the office
of Agent Fox Mulder.
"Is that you, Scully?" Mulder asked his partner; "Come on in."
"Mulder, what in the world are you doing?" she asked seeing
Mulder staring at some cartoon show flashing on the screen of a portable
TV set on his desk; "I would never have guessed that you liked
cartoons, is this what you do when you're supposed to be working?
Anyway, we have important work to do. We've just been assigned to go to
Texas to investigate a string of murders. The victims' blood was
completely drained from their bodies and two small holes were left on
each of their necks. I think that it's cult-related, but it sounds a
lot like an X-File. Shut off the set and take a look at these photos!"
"Not now, Scully take a look at this"; he said pointing to the
television.
Dana saw a chubby, yellow creature with lightning bolts coming
out of its cheeks.
"Cute Squirrel, now shouldn't we get to work?"
"Scully, I have been investigating this cartoon in my spare time
for the last four months. It's called 'Pokémon'. The show comes from
Japan where one episode reportedly caused seizures in hundreds of
children. Besides the cartoon, there are video games and countless
items of merchandise. Pokémon has quickly become a youth craze and I
think that there is something sinister behind it. Do you remember that
time we investigated that small town where subliminal messages in
people's TVs were telling them to kill? I think that something similar
is happening with Pokémon, except that the show is not telling them to
kill but to BUY! I also have an errie feeling that the Cigarette
Smoking Man must be behind this and is somehow using it to take over the
world, but I don't know how."
"Oh, Mulder, you and your conspiracy theories!"
Suddenly, Pikachu appeared on the screen again, generating huge
amounts of lightning. The lightning burst from the television and
engulfed the two FBI Agents! After the flash, Mulder's office was
empty!
Chapter 2-Journey to a Truly Paranormal World
Team Rocket dashed through the forest chased by Ash, Brock, and
Misty. James held Pikachu tight in his rubber-gloved arms.
"I can't believe it, James, we've finally got Pikachu!" Jesse
shouted excitedly to her partner-in-crime.
"Wills yous twos stop yakkin' and run already!" screeched a
frustrated Meowth.
Just then, a circle of blinding light appeared in the forest.
Team Rocket, caught by surprise, stood and stared. Two figures
literally flew out of the portal and landed on the green grass of the
forest floor.
"What happened? Where are we?" Fox Mulder and Dana Scully
asked the air, collectively.
Then the Agents caught sight of the two teenagers and the
pokémon before them.
Then Mulder whipped out his FBI badge and shouted: "Special
Agent Fox Mulder of the FBI! I demand that you tell us where we are!"
"The F-F-FBI?!" James stuttered.
"If they catch us, it's PRISON!" Jesse shrieked.
James dropped Pikachu and Team Rocket bolted into the forest.
The portal was gone and Mulder and Scully discovered something shocking
about themselves.
"We're animated!" Mulder shouted; "How did this happen?"
"There has to be a scientific explanation for this;" Scully
replied.
Ash, Brock, and Misty ran into the clearing and Ash scooped his
beloved Poké-pet into his arms.
"Thanks for saving Pikachu from Team Rocket;" Ash said to the
two strangers.
"Pikachu? Team Rocket? What's going on here?" Scully asked.
"Oh my....;" Mulder mused; "I believe that we somehow are in the
cartoon, 'Pokémon'. We must have been sucked through a dimensional
portal via my TV set! How will we get back?"
"A dimensional portal into a cartoon? This is ridiculous,
Mulder!"
"You're seeing it with your own eyes;" Mulder replied.
Ash, Brock, and Misty introduced themselves, and the FBI Agents
did likewise.
They sat in the clearing and talked for hours. Ash and his friends were
completely taken aback that Fox Mulder knew so much about them
(knowledge he had gained from the study of their cartoon). Dana Scully
was absolutely clueless.
"We don't know how to send you two back to your world;" Misty
said; "but we do have and FBI, maybe they can help you."
"We aren't sure how to contact them;" Ash said; "but I'm sure
Police Officer Jenny in the next town can get a hold of them for you."
"Ahhhh, Officer Jenny..;" Brock sighed with dreamy eyes.
"How far is the next town?" Fox Mulder asked.
"Three days by foot;" Ash replied; "You can travel with us. We
were on our way there anyway.
"Three days!" Scully exclaimed; "Director Skinner will have our
butts in a sling after we've been unaccounted for three days!
Especially since were both supposed to be in Texas!"
The group of five spent the next three days walking toward the
nearest town.
Chapter 3-The Team Rocket Conspiracy
Jesse, James, and Meowth sat within one of their many outpost-
hideouts in the woods, discussing new plans for the capture of Pikachu
and lamenting their most recent failure.
"I was your fault!" Jesse screamed to James; "You dropped
Pikachu!"
"I was scared out of my wits! Those FBI Agents came out of
nowhere! I didn't want to get caught with a stolen pokémon!" He
explained.
Their argument was interrupted by the videophone. A man in a
red suit whose face was obscured appeared on the screen. He was
stroking a vicious looking Persian.
"It's the Boss!" Jesse, James, and Meowth said in unison.
"I have a new assignment for you;" the Boss explained; "Two
people from another dimension have come to Pokéworld. I want you to
capture them for me."
"But, Boss;" James weakly spoke up; "I thought you wanted us to
capture rare pokémon, not people."
"This is a very special job, James. For now, pokémon can wait.
I've decided to assign you nimrods to the task because my equipment
detected the dimensional tear close to where you are now. The people
that I'm looking for can't be far away."
The Boss then went into a long explanation of how he was able to
communicate with certain people from another dimension (the dimension of
The X-Files) via some very high tech equipment. The Boss had
established a friendship with a certain Mr. Spender on the other side
(also known as the Cigarette Smoking Man and a variety of aliases). Mr.
Spender and his cohorts were behind a number of dark conspiracies, most
notably the one to create a race of alien-human hybrids. The Boss did a
number of things to help Mr. Spender in his quest, and he, in turn,
helped the cause of Team Rocket to create an army of evil pokémon to use
in taking over Pokéworld. The Boss described FBI Agents Fox Mulder and
Dana Scully, and how they must be stopped before they uncover the Truth
about the conspiracies.
The third day, Ash, Brock, Misty, Mulder and Scully saw a town
in the distance.
"There it is! It's Chartreuse City!" Ash shouted.
Mulder and Scully lagged behind.
"You kids are just too energetic!" Mulder shouted ahead.
Suddenly, a huge metal cage fell over Mulder and Scully! The
cage was attached to a cable, which was attached to a black helicopter
emblazoned on the front with a great red R.
"It's Team Rocket!" Ash shouted as all three pokémon trainers
readied their pokéballs for battle.
"To protect the world from devastation!"
"To unite all peoples within our nation!"
"To denounce the evils of Truth and Love!"
"To extend our reach to the stars above!"
"Jesse!"
"James!"
"Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light!"
"Surrender now or prepare to fight!"
"Meowth! That's right!"
The helicopter sped out of sight with Mulder and Scully before
anyone could release their pokémon.
Chapter 4-The Imprisonment
At the main Team Rocket headquarters, FBI Agents Dana Scully and
Fox Mulder were held in a prison cell. Team Rocket's Boss, a very
creepy man with a strange voice, told them that they were being held
until he could contact the Cigarette Smoking Man for further
instructions on what to do with them. The Boss was very pleased and
promoted Jesse and James as his co-bosses for their fine work. Meowth
was very happy too, as he was promoted back to his position on the
Boss's lap, while the Persian was sent to work with Butch and Cassidy.
Jesse and James were also assigned to guard Mulder and Scully.
They often sat by the Agents' cell listening to their stories about
their quest for the Truth, and laughing at their petitions to let them
go. For entertainment, Jesse and James told Mulder and Scully of some
of their adventures.
"That story about the Saint Anne was amazing!" Mulder said to
Jess and Jim during one of their conversations to kill time; "I was
aboard a ship called the Queen Anne once, in the Bermuda Triangle. A
woman who looked like Scully and I saved the world from the Nazis."
"Mulder, that was just some weird dream you had! The Lone
Gunmen and I pulled you from the sea unconscious. It didn't really
happen."
"You think it was just a dream, but I don't;" Mulder retorted.
"Don't you think this quest for the Truth that you're on is a
little futile? " Jesse said; "You haven't uncovered anything yet. Why
don't you become bad guys, like us?"
"I have thought about it;" Fox Mulder replied; "There was this
one time when I was holding a gun to the head of the Cigarette Smoking
Man. He told me that all the horrible things he did were right because
the only way to save the Human Race was to turn them into alien-human
hybrids. He said that he and his group gave up their loved ones to the
aliens so that they might receive them back. He said that that's what
my father did with my sister, and that it was the only way. I could not
pull the trigger. That's it! We will become bad guys! I am weary of
the quest for Truth! I want now to cover the Truth! Jesse! James! Go
tell your Boss that we want to join Team Rocket!"
"What are you talking about?" Scully asked Mulder as the blue-
haired young man and the young woman bearing her hair color left to
inform their Boss.
"Scully, this is the way we get home! We play the role of Team
Rocket members. This way we can get access to the Boss's dimensional
portal to go home!"
Chapter 5-Dana and Fox of Team Rocket
"To protect the world from devastation!"
"To extend our rule to every nation!"
"The Truth is Out There, and so is Love!"
"The world needs neither, we shall prove!"
"Dana!"
"Fox!"
"Team Rocket soars at the speed of light!"
"Surrender now, for we are right!"
Fox Mulder and Dana Scully practiced their version of the Team
Rocket Motto as they practiced battled the pokémon they had received
from the Boss. "Fox" Mulder ironically chose a Vulpix. Everyone
laughed at Dana Scully's choice of pokémon, a rather unimpressive Evee.
She chose it because it reminded her of her dear departed Pomeranian
dog, Queequag.
Soon, Dana and Fox were sent out on their first assignment.
They were to prove themselves as Team Rocket field agents before being
sent back to their own dimension to the Cigarette Smoking Man to do his
evil bidding. Over the course of a month Dana and Fox became the most
successful Team Rocket members ever, stealing numerous rare pokémon from
wildlife preserves, Pokémon Centers, and individuals. One day, Dana and
Fox arrived at headquarters with a very special present for the Boss,
and the co-bosses, Jesse and James.
They stepped forward, toward the Boss's chair, leading Ash,
Brock, Misty and Pikachu in chains.
"You've finally captured that Pikachu I've been wanting;" the
Boss said in a sinister, but very pleased tone; "not even Jesse and
James could accomplish that!"
"Hey!" James protested at the insult.
"I'm going to have sooooo much fun torturing you little brats!"
Jesse laughed wickedly.
All present went toward the Team Rocket torture chamber, which
was also was the place where they kept their captured pokémon and the
dimensional transporter.
Suddenly, the chains fell off the wrists of Ash, Brock, Misty and
Pikachu. They, with Dana and Fox, shoved the Boss, Jesse and James into
a large empty pokémon cage!
"Quick!" Mulder commanded; "Free all the pokémon!"
Ash, Brock, Misty and Pikachu frantically opened cages while Fox
Mulder and Dana Scully activated the dimensional transporter. Standing
in front of the glowing portal, they gave a speech:
"To protect the world from devastation!"
"To reveal the Truth to every nation!"
"The Truth is Out There, my friends!"
"This great cause we do defend!"
"Mulder"
"Scully"
"Special Agents for the FBI!"
"It's been fun, but we gotta fly!"
With that, Fox Mulder and Dana Scully disappeared into the
glowing light.
Chapter 6-More things in Heaven and Earth...
Agents Mulder and Scully found themselves in Mulder's office.
The calendar on the wall told them that this was the same day they were
sucked into the TV. Scully clutched her hand to her head. She was
suffering from the worst headache of her life.
"We're back!" Mulder exclaimed.
"Back from where?" replied Scully.
"From Pokéworld!" shouted Mulder; "I can't believe you don't
remember!"
"Must've been some sort of collective hallucination, like when
we were being digested by that giant fungus! But how did fungus spore
get in your office, Mulder?"
"Rats!" thought Mulder; "She experienced the same thing that I
did and still she doesn't believe! This is just like the time I rescued
her from Antarctica!"
"What's this?" Dana Scully asked, pulling some strange lump she
felt out of her jacket. It was a red and white metallic sphere. The
button on it glowed and out popped an Evee.
"Queequag!" Scully whispered in disbelief as she fainted.
Mulder just looked at the "I Want To Believe" poster on his
office wall remembering a line that, he thought, came from Shakespeare;
"There are more things in Heaven and Earth than men's hearts dare to
dream."
Chapter 7-Meanwhile, Back in Pokéworld...
Jesse, James and Meowth wandered down a desolate forest road,
once again on the trail of Pikachu. They had, once again, been demoted
to field agents.
"At least the Boss liked us for a little while;" James said,
turning to Jesse.
"I wonder what Dana and Fox are doing right now;" Jesse said;
"Probably uncovering the Truth." She said that last word with certain
disgust in her voice.
"They kinda made a cute couple, I's thought;" said Meowth.
"Yeah;" said James; "I wonder if they'll ever get together.
"Nah!"
