A case of the Blues!

We followed the men down a side street, and heard Eevee cry out as they closed in on it.
'Charmander and Rattata are injured from our battle! They won't be able to help much!' Called Ragnarok as we hurtled after them.
'Oh yeah, I brought this'
I pulled an orange out of my pocket and threw it over my shoulder to him as I got one out for Rattata. 'Bought them earlier. Figured it would help, Oran, Orange, it's our worlds equivalent..'
'Good point'
I held out a wedge of orange and Rattata, running alongside me, leapt, grabbed it with his teeth, and munched happily away as we continued our pursuit. I could hear Charmander enjoying some behind me. Rattata looked better, and most of his grazes had faded. I fed him another bit as we rounded a corner, and saw the two men had cornered Eevee against the end of an alley.

'Right you freaky little mutt, lets finish what we started shall we?'

'Stop! Rattata! FLAME WHEEL!'

'Whoah? Aaah! What the hell is that? Ooow!'

'Charmander! Hit the other one with your tail!'

'Is that a...dinosaur? Ow!'

The first man was knocked down by a direct hit from flame wheel, and as he rolled around, desperately trying to put out his shirt, the second man was felled by a well aimed whack at an ankle by Charmander. His trouser leg caught fire as he went down, and we rushed over to the Eevee to see how bad the damage was. It was shivering, and looked pretty scuffed up. I fed it an orange wedge as Charmander brought his tail round in front of him, and held the tip out to Eevee, who after nervously accepting the fruit, huddled close to the flame, and seemed to recover a little. I turned to the men, furious. 'What the hell do you think you're doing?!'

'The mongrel can talk! It called us evil, then it threw sand in our faces, then it called us evil again as it ran off!'

'Who are you two? Why have you got monsters with you? Wait, Charmander? Isn't that a .........pokémon? My cousin kept mentioning some thing called a Charmander a few years ago...'

'Yes. Yes it is. So is my Rattata, and if you'd paid attention you'd have heard this poor little creature saying 'Eevee' not evil. That's it's name. That's how Pokémon speak, you ignorant dolts! As for the sand, sounds like a sand attack to me, you probably scared it. Guard them for a sec, Rattata.'
'Rata!'
I got out my DS and pointed at the Eevee. 'Now, let's see how you're doing..'
'Huh?' Ragnarok looked up at me from kneeling by Eevee.
'Oh right!' I was going to show you, but then this happened. I got my DS out again last night, and it sort of scanned itself, then Rattata, and now look.'
All the normal buttons were there- The D-pad, the four circles, Start and Select. But now there were two power buttons. The normal one, and one with a tiny picture of a Pokéball on it, next to the normal one, making them the doubles of Start and Select on the other side. I pressed the new one, and the console turned red. The left side curved, grew a black edge, and the top half gained a smaller semicircle, that lined up with an indent in the lower half. It had become a Sinnoh Pokédex. (Interestingly, the DS didn't have a Sinnoh game in it when it transformed, and it has the most up to date information, from Heartgold and Soulsilver. I guess this was the easiest shape for it to become? This Pokédex IS designed to resemble the DS afterall..)

It had both power buttons, and both my HeartGold and Rag's Firered in their slots, but in every other way it was a genuine Pokédex.
'That. Is cool.'
'I know! Anyway, let's see what it says. Ok, level 10, The orange is helping, back up to 3/4 health, She's a she, Bashful nature. Not doing too badly, she should be up to full strength again soon.
I turned back to the men, as I heard a squeak of fury and Rattata landed on my shoulder, grabbing tight not to fall off.

'Don't mess with my Rat! Now, if you tell ANYONE about all this-'
'Anyone? Dude, we're telling everyone! We'll be rich for turning these monsters over to scientists. Who knows what could be achieved! An army of firey Dinosaurs! Rodents that can sneak into the enemy camp and destroy them from the inside!'
One turned to run, and Rattata leapt. He shot forward with incredible speed, and tripped the man up with his tail, causing him to fall on his face with a crunching sound. As Rattata jumped up and down on the man, my DSDex beeped, still being active:

Quick Attack:
The user lunges at the foe at a speed that makes it almost invisible. It is sure to strike first.

'You learned Quick Attack. Cool!'
There was a cry of pain from the other man as Charmander decided to make sure he didn't run
either, by slashing his leg, making him fall to the ground.'
'You were great Rattata, thanks.'
'Thanks Charmander. Oh. Tempest, we have company.....'

I saw a pokémon hurrying down the alley towards us.
'Wow! A Glaceon!'
I glanced at my DSDex. 'Hmm. Level 12. Oooh, knows Ice beam though. Male. Oh, this explains things. He's the brother of this Eevee.'

Glaceon reached us, a flicked his head at Eevee.
'Glay!'
Eevee climbed on his back, and conversed with him. Glaceon looked at us, gave a a small nod, leaning forwards, acknowledging our help with her recovery.'
'Look after her Glaceon, be careful.'
Another nod, and he turned to go, only to see the two thugs.
'What! That ones even weirder! It's freakin' blue!
Glaceon turned back to me.

'Hey, we're not keen on them either. Glaceon! Ice Beam!'
Two cries of terror were cut short as they were sealed inside a huge chunk of Ice. Glaceon flicked an ear at us, and fled.

We walked up to the bluey silhouettes inside the tiny iceburg, which was sending wafts of cold air out in all directions.

'NOW who's blue!'
'Oh, Rag, too cheesy, too cheesy.'
We both laughed, and wandered off with our Pokémon. I stared up at the sky, and saw a bird fly by over head. When it was directly above us, it seemed to flicker, and for a second, looked just like a starly. The world is changing. Pokémon are here, and I'm not sure how long we can stop people from noticing.
