A Ninja's (Poke)Journey [Complete]

Pun intended.

By the way, thanks to @RubyRed883 for inspiring Snivy's name in this book. She suggested the name Five, a reference to Lloyd's hoodie. I decided to name him Cinq though since the Snivy line is heavily inspired by France, and cinq means five in French.

Also, if you didn't know, in Kanto, a character named Bill is an inventor/scientist. When you first go into his lab, you only find a Nidoran. He later tells you that because of an experiment gone wrong, he turned himself into a Pokemon. So yeah, plots like that are canon in the Pokemon Universe.

Anyways, here's when the rest of the characters will start joining the main team.

Third POV

"Woah, you're taller than I thought. Did you reach puberty or something?" Jay said.

Lloyd and Cyrus looked at each other. It didn't take long for him to start freaking out.

"You're a Pikachu!" yelled Lloyd, turning to Cyrus. "You did this to him!"

He pushed his wheelchair closer to the now broken machine, examining the back in particular. "Ah, I see," he turned back to them, nervously fidgeting with his hands. "It seems that the ice shard has been ripped to pieces.

"Ice shard?" said Lloyd, picking Jay up. "Why would you need an ice shard for a machine?"

"Well, it's a special gear an old friend once gave to me years ago. It powers up the machine, I can't fix it without it."

"Can't you just go to his house and get another one?" Jay said.

"He lives up in the mountains, it would be too dangerous to fly up there. You will have to go on foot."

"Great..." Lloyd sighed. "We'll bring a shard back to you. Let's go, Jay."

They left without another word, Lloyd even more pissed than Jay. Since he also had to carry Candy and Wisp, they all tried to fit in. Lloyd held Jay in his arms while Candy sat on his shoulder, with Wisp following him on the ground. Once they finally got back to the gym, Kai and Nya were already waiting for them, both holding sleeping bags and food in their hands.

He approached them awkwardly, though they greeted them with a smile.

"Oh, you're back," said Nya, dropping the bags. She noticed the Pikachu and smiled. "And who's this cutie?" she took him from Lloyd's arms, booping his nose.

"That's... Jay."

They both looked at him confused.

Jay waved with a sheepish smile. "Hey?"

Nya gasped, immediately dropping him. "We told you you shouldn't trust those machines!"

"I know, I know!" he said. "He... fused with this Pikachu and now we have to go up to the mountains for some stupid ice shard!"

"Well, we don't know where these mountains are..." Kai finally spoke up. "The only person that could possibly help us right now is..." he sighed, gesturing at the poster. "Cole."
