Special I: Kurisu, the Officer In-Training

It was a lovely morning in Japan. Many people were walking around and about; kids were playing in parks here and there, be it with each other or with family, adults were going around walking to work or grocery shopping, and with them all, sticking by their side, were creatures known as Pokemon. Pokemon has been around Earth for as long as people can remember.

These creatures once used as weapons for war in the old ages, even seen as humanity's greatest enemies way before then. Now? These creatures live peacefully with the humans; be it as pets, friends, or neighbors, the last one referring to the more wild Pokemon.

In one apartment complex, in the state of Tokyo, there lived a young woman, exercising on a treadmill. She had her long, black hair up in a ponytail and a headband to keep her bangs up and out of her face. She wore a black sports bra, grey sweats, and white socks. Of course, she wasn't living along, now was she running alone. Running on a smaller treadmill across from her was a Riolu.
An alarm rang out, and both human and Pokemon reached out, hit a button controlling their respective machines, and slowly came to a stop, panting and sweating.

"Whew... That's it for morning workout." Kurisu said.

"Ri ri." Riolu barked in agreement.

"Floe." came Floette's voice, as the Single Bloom Pokemon floated over to the pair with towels in hand.

"Thank you, Floette." the trainer thanked, accepting one of the towels, as did her Emanation Pokemon, who barked his thanks.

Once the pair received their towels, Floette used Aromatherapy. While the move is usually used to heal the status condition affecting human and Pokemon, at times of exhaustion like this, it could also be used to help calm their targets, as the scent is quite soothing.

Once the girl had recovered, she took a sip of the water bottle she kept by her, and took a look at her clock for the time.

"I still have time. Can I trust you two to get my stuff ready?"

Both Pokemon let out happy sounds, signaling that she can definitely trust them both. Once she got their confirmation, Kurisu went to take her shower.

After she washed up, Kurisu got dressed, ate a quick breakfast, returned her two Pokemon in their Pokeballs, and left her apartment. In place of her workout clothes, the girl had on a grey button-up shirt, blue jeans, and purple shoes. She also had a small bag over her shoulders and a pair of tonfas equipped on her lower back.

As she walked along the side-walk, a commotion was heard by an antique store she was going to walk by.

"You idiot son! I told you not to knock over that vase, didn't I?! Don't you know how expensive it is?!" came a cranky, elderly voice.

"For goodness sake, you old geezer! I told you it's not my fault!" came a young, male voice.

'This again?' Kurisu sighed, walking into the store.

As she walked in, she was met with the sight of a young, male teen and a short old man getting in a scuffle. Well, to say that would be wrong, as the elder completely has the teen in submission. Near them, not wanting to have anything to do with this family feud, was a yellow, humanoid Pokemon with long, pointed ears on top of its head, a red star on its forehead, narrow, deep-set eyes, and a long mustache. Its chest is brown and somewhat bulky, like an armor, and it had a large, thick tail with a brown band near the base. In its hand was a silver spoon.

"Accused of breaking something again, Roman?" Kurisu asked the young teen, bringing the attention to her.

"Kurisu! Thank Arceus you are here!" the teen said. "Tell that crazy old man that, for the millionth time, I did not break a damn thing here! Especially that vase!"

"Me?! How about you fess up first and speak the truth like a good boy you should be! Especially in front of the police!" the elder more stated than asked.

"All right, all right. Let's all stay calm now. And also, I am an intern, not an officer," Kurisu said, placing a hand on both guys' shoulders.

As Kurisu had lived in the neighborhood for most of her life, many people knew her, especially for her gift of detecting lies. From the smallest of lies to the biggest, those with poker faces to those who are horrible at the expression. It was thanks to these traits she was working as an intern in the police.

"Okay, so from what I heard, you're being accused of breaking a vase, aren't you?" She asked.

"Yes, which I didn't do!" Roman answered. "I haven't broken a single thing here, and yet the second grandpa heard the vase broke, he turned to me!"

"There's no one else in here but you, is there?!" his grandfather shouted.

"Would you just listen to me, you old codger?!"

"He spoke the truth." Kurisu said, ceasing what would've been round two of the fight. "He didn't break the vase."

"See? I told you!" Roman yelled at the old guy.

"Well, if that is true, then who did?! Even if I do know how good your lie detecting skills are, how do I know if you are not covering for this idiot grandson of mine?!" he questioned Kurisu.

As if already anticipating the question, Kurisu had already called Riolu out. The Emanation Pokemon heard of what was going on from his ball and looked around the room, eyes glowing in blue energy. He stopped at one direction and walked, pointing at an antique on the shelf.

"Rio." he simply barked.

Kurisu raised a brow at the object her Pokemon was pointing at. "Was this tea pot ever here before?"

"A customer sold that to us, actually. Late last night," the elder answered.

Kurisu took a good look at the pot. There was something suspicious about it, something she did not like about that pot, as she took it in her hand. And it didn't take long for the object itself to prove her suspicions, as she saw the lid tremble slightly. Next thing the pair knew, she tossed it over to Riolu.

"Force Palm it."

While the pair of guys and their Kadabra looked at her in shock at this, Riolu went to engage his attack.

"Wait, what are you doing?! You break that you will-" Roman's grandpa stopped, as Riolu's attack made contact with the pot.

However, instead of getting destroyed as they assumed, the pot went right through Riolu and hit the ground with a thud.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, some parts of the pot just fell off, revealing some purple inside, and the lid was suddenly lifted up by a purple face.

"Wait a sec, that pot's a Pokemon!" Roman shouted, pointed accusingly at the hidden creature.

"And most likely the true culprit of the broken vase. Isn't that right?" Kurisu asked it.

Rather than answering her, however, the Pokemon gave them the slip and flew off.

"Hey! It's getting away!" Roman's grandfather shouted.

"Vine Whip." At Kurisu's call, a pair of vines suddenly appeared and bound the escapee. From the other end of the vines was none other than Floette, whom Kurisu had released when she tossed the culprit Pokemon at Riolu. "Good work," the trainer complimented her Pokemon, walking over to the now-captured one. "Now then, if you can cooperate with me, maybe lead me to your trainer, you can be let off with a lighter sentence."

"Polteageist. Poltea polt geist." the Pokemon, a Polteageist, spoke in what seemed like a mocking tone.

Kurisu simply glanced at Floette, who got the unspoken message and harshly shook the Black Tea Pokemon. Not only was the Ghost-type letting out screams from the shaking, sounds of coins was also heard from it, prompting Floette to stop and Kurisu to raise a brow in suspicion. One glance at each other, and the Single Bloom Pokemon flipped the Polteageist upside down and resumed shaking. It was then, falling out of the Black Tea Pokemon's pot, was money... belonging to the store.

Seeing this, the owner of the antique store was now fuming.

"So not only did this Pokemon break one of the most expensive items in my store, it's robbing me of my money? Twice?! Don't screw-Oww!" Before he could finish his words, the old man stood up a bit too fast and bent his back, causing him to break his back.

"Ah! Grandpa!" Roman cried out.

"As I was saying, let's see your trainer. And some police officers while we're at it." With that, Kurisu took her Poryphone out and had the Black Tea Pokemon to lead them to its trainer/seller. "Oh! And Roman. You should know that twisting the truth doesn't work on me either." At that, the teen's grandfather somehow recovered from his back pain and berated his grandson, demanding to know what broke on his watch.

It didn't take long for the Ghost-type to lead the pair to its trainer's hideout. And thanks to the police station's Porygon, they were able to trace her Poryphone call to them and arrived just seconds after she did and arrested the guy and his Pokemon.

"Not a full year has passed, and yet you're doing way better at this job than most people in our station," an officer said to her.

"It helps that I can easily detect lies. As easily as a Pokemon using Odor Sleuth to find items and people through smell and Foresight to find things through enhanced sight." Kurisu stated.

"You sure you're in your fourth year of college now? Captain and I can write up a recommendation to the higher ups and have you move up from intern to full-timer and have you graduate way earlier than you planned it."

"I'm pretty sure that is not how it works, Mac." Kurisu told him.

"You'll never know. With all you've achieved this past year, you could be the exception. Plus, it could get you out of trouble from our Captain for some certain cases that an intern like you are not allowed to be in. I mean, don't tell me you forgot that one time when we had to do that undercover mission-"

"Yes, yes. I still remember that, no thank you." As tempting as it was for Kurisu to accept the offer, to be a full-time police officer that she always wanted to be, she didn't want to get any special treatments for her achievements as an intern. Even if the missions she was allowed to go on as an intern are limited.

Kurisu felt a tap on her leg and looked down to see both Riolu and Floette pointing at their wrist. It didn't take long for her to realize one important thing.

"Oh s, that's right! Sorry, Mac! I gotta run! See you tomorrow during patrol!" Without waiting for a goodbye back, Kurisu returned her two Pokemon and left.

Normally, when people are in a rush, it would be for a date, work, picking up a relative, class, or an appointment. For Kurisu, it was none of the above.
She didn't want people to know. To those who did when this started, in simpler terms, it was nothing but an act of foolishness. Now, it wasn't because of that point of view that she didn't want anyone else to know; it was because of what the act was for.

"Hey, Elaine. Sorry I'm late. Got myself in a case. Well... I wouldn't say 'case', when I stopped it before it got to my superiors, but... That's what happened." Kurisu spoke, a bouquet of flowers in hand... in which she placed down on a gravestone.

The gravestone belonged to a childhood friend of hers, who passed away several years ago. She was more than a childhood friend to Kurisu, though; the two were practically sisters back then. Unfortunately, because of what her friend's dad was known for, many kids their age found it satisfying, amusing even, to constantly accuse Elaine for things she did not do nor had gotten anywhere near involved with such things and constantly bullying her all day long. It didn't help that said father even beat his own daughter from time to time, making it an even harder childhood for Elaine. Only Kurisu stuck with her through it all, doing whatever she could to help her heal from the pain and be the support she needed. Sadly, it wasn't enough... as the girl had committed suicide to escape from the pain. It was because of Elaine that Kurisu had decided to be a police officer. She didn't want any other people to suffer the way her best friend did. And she wasn't the only one who felt that way.

"Oh right. Almost forgot." She reached into her pocket where Floette and Riolu's Pokeballs were in and called out the two. "They want to pay their respects, too. Especially Floette. After all, she was practically your Pokemon first."

Kurisu got Riolu for her birthday a couple years after her friend passed. Her parents knew her drive for wanting to be an officer and wanted to get her a Pokemon that could help with the cases. As Riolu can sense people's aura, there was no better Pokemon to be her partner-in-crime than the Emanation Pokemon. As for Floette, she knew it way before her friend died, when it was a Flabebe. The Single Bloom Pokemon was a wild Pokemon at that time, but it was just as much of a friend to Kurisu as it was to Elaine. No... it was even closer than that for the Fairy-type and the late girl. Like Kurisu, Floette, as Flabebe, had been by Elaine's side through thick and thin, always doing whatever it could to cheer her up just as Kurisu had. However, there was only so much that it could do back then for Elaine. When the girl passed, Floette also didn't want anyone to suffer as she had and became Kurisu's Pokemon because of it.

Once the trainer and pair of Pokemon paid their respects, Kurisu returned them both back in.

"Gotta go now. Got work at the restaurant. Have to earn some money for tuition next year, after all. But don't worry; I'll come back next year, as a full-fledge police officer. Yeah... I'm almost there, Elaine." She told her deceased friend before she tood up. "Well, wish me luck for another year." After that, Kurisu had taken her leave.

Kurisu made her way to the closest subway station, waiting for her train to arrive with a few others. From the look of the time schedule on the board, her train would be arriving in less than a minute.

A small group of voices was then heard nearby. Not too loud to get the attention of other people, but also not too soft for Kurisu to not hear. Kurisu turned to where the voices are from slowly walked towards it. and saw a trio of boys picking on another, meek-looking boy, and one of those three have a Pokemon on them. The Pokemon was a brown and yellow mongoose, with a pink nose and a large mouth full of pointed teeth.

Kurisu had seen scenes like this many times to know what was going on. She looked and saw a working camera facing the kids, already recording what was going to go on there. Unfortunately, before she could call out to the kids, one of the bullies had his Pokemon tackle the meek boy off the platform. The young adult gasped at this, especially as she heard the train approaching soon. Instinct took over her, as Kurisu ran off the platform herself, making her presence known to the other boys. Just as the girl got to the meek boy and tossed him to safety, unfortunately, that was when the train came and ran her over.

At least that was what she remembered had happened, or should've happened.

By the time Kurisu tossed the kid to the platform and should've been gotten hit by the train, she suddenly found herself in the middle of the woods.

"Where... am I?" she asked, looking around her surroundings. "How the heck did I end up here? Did I get hit by that train? This... doesn't look like heaven."

Kurisu knew the first thing she should do is look for civilization, a town, any place where there would be people who would help her in... wherever she ended up in. With that in mind, she took out Riolu's Pokeball and called out her Emanation Pokemon.

"Riolu. Think you can sense out the closest civilization here? If you can sense the aura of the closest person from here, that's fine, too."

Riolu did as requested and, with his eyes glowing blue, tried to sense out the closest aura from where he and his trainer were. "... I'm getting a lot of weird auras around us, but the more human ones are all coming from that direction, and it's not that far either. We can get there soon if we race there," Riolu answered, looking over to his trainer. To his confusion, she was looking at him with a shocked look on her face, eyes wide and standing on one leg in a freaked out pose. "What's wrong? Did a Joltik got on my fur?"

"Forget the Joltik! Why are you talking?!" Kurisu questioned.

It took the Emanation Pokemon a few seconds to realize he was speaking in his trainer's language.

"Wait, why am I speaking in your language?!"

"That's what I just asked!"

Unfortunately, their screams were getting the attention the owners of the odd aura Riolu had sensed, as a bush near them shook somewhat. Next the pair knew, something came out and made its way to Kurisu. Riolu reacted fast enough to tackle it away with a good Quick Attack.

"You okay, Kurisu?!" he asked.

"Yeah... I'm fine but... What the heck is that?!" she answered, pinting at the thing Riolu hit away.

On the ground not far from them was a blue, egg-like creature, one that only had a creepy looking face on it, and showing the uncooked egg on the inside. Next they knew, it cracked to nothing but shells, and appearing by their heads for a brief moment was something Kurisu knew could only happen in a game.

"Huh? Plus 16 EXP? What?" Kurisu questioned. "Okay. Just where in the world are we?"

More rustles were heard, putting Riolu on guard.

"Careful, Kurisu. We still have some more of those guys next."

"I'm not letting you fight alone." The trainer called Floette out of her ball and took out her tonfas. "We need all the fire power we can get."

While she may have been an intern officer and a Pokemon trainer, she was a very dedicated officer, for back in her world, she took daily night class on self-defense and martial arts since she was a child and was top of her class. As such, she herself was efficient when it comes to combat, as proven when she blocked some sword strikes from her foes and forcibly disarm their weapons from them, as well as landing some blows on them.

"Let's go, guys!" Kurisu told her Pokémon.

"Right!" Both Riolu and Floette said as they charged towards their enemies

After somehow fighting off against a horde of Balloons, Mushrooms, more Eggugs, and even some Tree monsters that clearly were not Trenevant, all whose names Kurisu had learned upon fighting them, and noticing the level and health bars on them, the trainer and pair of Pokemon team took a breather.

"Okay... Now that was kind of tiring," she panted as she put the tonfas away.

"Those things, whatever they are, were persistent..." Riolu said.

"Shall I use Aromatherapy to heal us from the fatigue?" Floette offered.

"That would be nice, actually," Kurisu allowed.

Once she caught her breath, she took a look at herself and her Pokemon's health bars and level. Whether it was because they had leveled up during the fight, they didn't get hit much by those pesky monsters, or those things were weaker than they though, she didn't know, but all three have their health bar in the green, near full. Not only that, she noticed her Level was at 14, Riolu's at 17, and Floette at 41.

'They say big things come in small packages,' Kurisu thought to herself in slight amusement.
"So... Now that we're all recovered, is there any chance you can check the area again, Riolu?" she asked the Fighting-type.

"Leave it to me," he nodded. Riolu used his powers once more to sense his surroundings. And luckily for them, the people he sensed are still not far from where they were. "Everything's all clear. The people I sensed are still in that direction."

"Great. Then let's go. The sooner we get out of these woods, the better." She suggested.

"It's best if I take the lead, though. There's still some of those weird not-Pokemon around." Riolu volunteered.

"Good idea. I don't want anything to happen to Kurisu. Especially when she's not used to battle as we, Pokemon, are." Floette agreed.

Kurisu was also all in for the idea and let her Emanation Pokemon lead them to the humans he sensed.

When the trio arrived at at the large gathering of aura Riolu sensed, they found themselves on top of a small cliff, looking down at what seemed to be a village. Not only that, but down below, there were bandits raiding the village.

"Bandits?! Seriously?" Kurisu gasped.

"We have to help them!" Floette said.

"We can't go around! We won't make it in time!" Riolu pointed out, finding no paths nearby that could take them straight to the village.

"Not quite," Kurisu corrected, looking ahead from the clifftop. Her Pokemon looked her way, then to where she was looking and caught on.

"Kurisu, this is different from chasing criminals down ramps," Floette told her.

"So you want me to take the safest route and leave those villagers to die? I think not." Without another word, Kurisu jumped off the cliff, prompting her pair of partners to look at each other.

"She got herself in all sorts of dangers, remember?" Riolu pointed out to his Fairy-type friend, whom nodded in agreement as they followed after her.

Thankfully for Kurisu, the cliff had a steep slope going down the way she went, as she ran along the side. Due to the effects of gravity, however, she was coming down a bit too fast and could not slow down at all, this gradually increasing speed... that she could not control at all. Luckily all her time getting involved in dangerous cases has helped her with her reaction time, as she narrowly avoided some trees, shrubs, and rocks she came close to crashing into.

"Kurisu! Quick question!" came Riolu's voice next to her.

"What is it?" she asked.

"What are you going to do about the fence you're going to run into? I can jump, but last I remember, you're not much of a jumper!"

That got the girl in a slight panic. Upon seeing the villagers in danger, she had neglected how she was going to enter from the way she was coming from, as it wasn't an entrance and was blocked by the fence. And while she was not one for destroying any public property, there are times when such a thing cannot be avoided. And this was one of those times.

"Floette! Moonblast! The explosion should get the bandits' attention as well!" she ordered.

"Got it!" Floette nodded, as she flew on ahead.

Meanwhile, in Lute Village, the villagers had gathered at the plaza. The men grabbed whatever they could find to use as a weapon and formed a barrier around the kids, women, and elders, protecting them from the bandits around them.

"All right, boys, you know the deal!" one of the bandits, the leader of the group, spoke. "Kill the guys and elders, sell the kids, and..." He licked the back of his dagger. "Do whatever the hell you want with the women."

That got the villagers tense, as the guys formed a tighter barrier around the innocents.

Before anything else could be done, an explosion was heard nearby, grabbing all their attention to the source. There, where the fence was, was a cloud of smoke. Neither bandits nor villagers knew who or what could cause all that smoke to form, or if the one responsible was friend or foe, and had their guards up. Suddenly, bursting out of the smoke was a blur of black and blue, as it struck down some of the bandits near the cloud.

"Out of the way!" a female voice followed, as Kurisu ran out of the smoke and landed a jump kick on another bandit, right in the gut. Thanks to the force and momentum of the speed she had picked up on the way down the hill, the kick was strong enough to knock the bandit out, as Riolu and Floette landed or hovered by her side.

"What the-?! Who the hell are you?!" the leader demanded.

"Your worst nightmare if you don't leave this village right now!" Kurisu answered, tonfas in hand as she prepared herself for battle.

The leader scoffed at the threat. "You and what army?"

"Why do bad guys always ask that before they get beaten?" Riolu voiced out, surprising the villagers and bandits alike.

"That raccoon thing can talk?!"

"Is it a demihuman?"

"It doesn't look like one."

Kurisu knew that there will be a lot of questions that would need to be answered for both sides and decided to save it for after the bandits are subdued.

"Hard way it is, then. Riolu, another Quick Attack! Floette, Vine Whip!" She commanded.

"Right!" both Pokemon replied. Riolu dashed in a burst of speed at a couple more bandits, striking them in either the gut or face, and caused them to tumble down, while Floette followed it up with summoning a pair of vines from her back to wrap around the weakened bandits and tossed them at their nearby allies.

Kurisu charged at some bandits as well. Because of both her gender and she was using a weapon none of them had ever seen before, and one that didn't have a blade at that, many of them had underestimated her strength. That became part of their downfall, as the former intern officer made quick work of one bandit, jabbing her right tonfa in his gut and the other right right on the armpit, causing him to lose feeling in his sword arm and drop the sword. She followed it up with striking him in between the eyes with the back end, knocking him out.

Seeing how fast she defeated one bandit shocked them, as the girl went to her next victim and simply struck him in the Adam's Apple, causing him to drop his weapon and hold his neck in pain. Kurisu then followed it up with a good kick... to where the sun don't shine. While this served to bring the guy to hold himself and bring him to his knees, this action also caused the other males to pale up and hold their own in fear, as they pitied the poor victim, who then got knocked out by a strike under the jaw.

"Who's next?" Kurisu challenged.

The bandit leader was getting frustrated to see some of his guys get beaten by a girl and a pair of smallfries.

"Why you little-! What are you boys waiting for?! Stop holding back and kill her! And bag those talking monsters, too, while you're at it! We're going to make a fortune out of them!"

Hearing those words from the leader's mouth made Kurisu more mad than before.

"You want them? Think again! Riolu, back-to-back Force Palm! Floette, Moonblast!"

Floette started first, as she gathered energy from the moon into her flower. Once she gathered enough, she fired the attack at the unharmed bandits, blowing them all away. After that, Riolu rushed in and slammed his paw at the rest of the bandits with great force, sending those guys flying.

This new display of strength shocked the leader, as he couldn't believe how strong the pair of weak-looking monsters were. He was so distracted by their strengths, he didn't notice Kurisu appearing in front of him, as she smacked her tonfa across his face and back, knocking out a tooth or two. This enraged the guy as he looked back at her with a glare. As he swung his sword at her, Kurisu blocked the strike with her left tonfa and jabbed her right one forward at his inner thigh, causing him to fall to his knee. The girl knew, however, that for a big guy like him, it was going to take more than that to stop him. With a small flick of the wrist, her right tonfa was suddenly crackling in electricity, in which she jabbed the bandit with, sending all that electricity down straight to his core, with his skeleton showing for all to see. Seconds after that light show, the shock had ended, and the bandit was charred brown. Despite the appearance, Kurisu saw he still had some health left.

"Now... Do you yield?" she asked once more.
The leader coughed out some smoke, as he shakily replied, "W-... We surrender..."

With the battle finally over, the remaining active bandits grabbed whoever they could and ran out of the village at full speed. A few shouted that they will come back, but all in all, the worst of it was over, and the villagers were extremely grateful for Kurisu and her Pokemon's help.

"Thank you so much for saving us," the elderly lord of the village thanked the trio once more. "You have our upmost gratitude."

"It was nothing, really." Kurisu said. "I'm just sorry I actually let them leave."

"Though by the looks of them, they won't be coming back any time soon." Riolu pointed out.

"I would be happy if that's true. Other than that, though..." Kurisu looked around the village. While the people were unharmed, the same couldn't be said for some of the buildings and crops. "I'm sorry about some of your home and crops."

"Please, think nothing of it. We can always regrow and rebuild here," the old man said.

Despite his words, Kurisu knew he was just putting up a small front. Even if that was true, that these things can be fixed, it didn't change the fact that those bandits had came close to destroying all of the village. Kurisu couldn't pretend that she didn't see through the lie. Even if she did, Riolu would've told her about it and make her feel more guilty for being oblivious. Plus, if she had gotten here sooner, there would've been less destruction towards the village at the very least.

"Let us help you." she offered, to the villager's shock.

"You, miss? We couldn't ask you after you just saved us." the old man told her.

"I insist. It's no trouble at all, really. Besides, the more help you have, the faster your village is restored, right?"

"We'll help out, too!" Riolu added, with Floette nodding in agreement.

Hearing such kind and caring words, the people were more convinced that the girl and her companions truly wanted to help them.

"We truly can never thank you enough." the old man thanked, as he and the others bowed their heads in gratitude.

Afterwards, Kurisu and her Pokémon proceeded to help out the villagers in exchange that Kurisu stay in the village since she has no clue where she go next.

Next: Chapter 5: A New Party Member

That's wraps about today's origin chapter.

There will be an OC from Tyler's world soon and she will serve as Tyler's love interest. Also, there will be another OC based on one of the characters in SAO. What is said character? Well, that's for me to know and for you to find out.

Kurisu's background was somewhat similar to the film version of Detective Pikachu, with the exception that it's a world not too different from ours.

As always, leave a review or comment down below :)
