Hello everyone! I finally decided to start cross-posting the chapters of Let's Go Stitch here from Archive of Our Own. I waited this long as to get a good amount of chapters from Chan in Bellwood over on the other site, seeing as there was so much to go over with that one. Now that I've got a few of those put out, however, it's time for this story to make its debut. So now I present to you, my first ever Pokemon crossover!

Before we begin, however, I'd like to explain how this story works for those who don't use AO3. First and foremost, Ash will actually age and mature. I'm not the biggest fan of the fact that Ash stays the same age throughout the series. I've even heard that they had a birthday episode or something! Like what the heck Pokémon!? I digress.

The second point I want to mention is that in this series, Ash WILL NOT forget about how to battle and catch Pokémon. Any moment like that will be saved for new characters or just general explanations. Levels will not be a thing in the story as they aren't in the anime. That way Pikachu can still be under the weather, lose to a Snivy, and it all still make sense. Any mentioning of pokémon levels will be replaced with experience and type advantages and effectiveness will be strict (meaning no using Tackle to hit a Ghost Type Pokémon or thunderbolt on a ground type. Looking at you Noctowl and Pikachu!).

Lastly, I will try to avoid as many Pokémon let goes as I can unless it's for moral reasons or plot. That sadly means Butterfree still gets released, but it might not be gone forever. Ash will also be less likely to forget about Pokémon he still has on call, whether they be at Professor Oak's lab or somewhere else in the world. Depending on how the odds work we might see some significant changes to canon. With all that being said, let's jump in to the first chapter of Let's Go Stitch: Pokemon World!

I don't own Lilo and Stitch or Pokemon. I do own OC concepts and characters unless stated otherwise.

Kauai, Hawaii

The sun shined brightly overhead as the ocean waves crashed across the shore. Various tourists and locals enjoyed relaxing and playing on the beaches of Kauai, Hawaii. Children could be seen chasing crabs around, parents keeping a close eye on them, and other adults playing beach games such as volleyball. A local surfer exited the ocean with his surfboard in hand as he walked up the beach. He put on his shirt, slid on his sandals, and left the sands behind as he made his way to a plaza of sorts.

He soon came across fast food restaurant. He smirked as he walked over to the shop. He entered the building and placed a few dollars on the counter.

"I'll take some Frenchfry French-fries and a Richter Scale Shake." Ordered the surfer. The cashier took the money and rung the man up before patting on the wall.

"Frenchfry!" called out the cashier. "Richter! You're up!" He held onto the counter as the customers grabbed on to anything that could keep them standing. A mighty slap was followed by the whole restaurant shaking.

An angry voice spoke in French on the other side as the man shook his head. He walked back to the kitchen to witness a sight that would shock most others. Two strange creatures were in an argument, each at different vantage points. One was a small gray and white mustached creature with four arms with three fingers on each hand, black eyes, a round nose, a little mouth, short ears, a chef's hat, and a spatula for a tail that stood on the counter. The other was a small purple ankylosaurus-like creature with a lavender stomach, a bulky body and legs, a huge tail with a triangle shape at the end, a round face with a wide mouth, a round nose, black eyes, short ears, a single horn on his head and tiny spikes down his back that looked downtrodden as he looked to the floor.

The employee sighed as he stood between the two. "Look Frenchfry it was just an accident. Richter still has a hard time controlling his tail. Could you please cut him some slack?" The French speaking experiment sighed as it got back to work. Richter looked away from the duo as the man poured the shake into a cup.

He smiled as he looked down to the purple creature. "It'll be fine Richter. You'll get that tail under control eventually. It's just gonna take a little more practice." Richter nodded as his spirits were lifted. The employee was quick to return to the counter and give the surfer his order.

The door to the shop burst open, causing some of the patrons to turn to the door. A young Hawaiian girl with long black hair and brown eyes stood in the entrance. She wore a red button up shirt with a white leaf pattern, a green t-shirt, blue jeans, and beige sandals. The employee smiled as the girl approached the counter. "Aloha Lilo!"

"Aloha Lucas." greeted the girl. She brought out some cash as she approached the counter. "I was thinking of getting some lunch for Stitch. He'll have his usual." Lucas nodded as he patted on the wall.

"One Stitch Special to go!" The shakes in the building continued as it sounded like a bunch of cannons were shooting off. Frenchfry cracked his knuckles as he became a mini tornado, quickly preparing multiple different food items. He walked to the front as he placed six bags of food on the counter.

"Bonjour Lilo!" greeted the little gray creature. He rushed back to the kitchen as he smelt more food cooking. The young girl chuckled as she grabbed three of the bags. Lucas was quick to grab the remaining ones as he helped her out the door. They soon arrived at a red bicycle with a wagon attached to the back.

"I thought Nani had a car?" questioned the man. "What are you doing here getting this much food by yourself?" Lilo sighed as she turned to Lucas.

"I maaaaaay have accidentally burnt some food I was making and decided to use my allowance to get Stitch something from here." answered Lilo. The restaurant employee shook his head as he walked back to the store. "Wait! I forgot to…" Lucas chuckled as he stopped at the door.

"It's on the house. You two have done so much for this little town, so it's my way of saying thanks. Aloha." Lilo didn't have much time to retort as Lucas walked back into the restaurant. Shaking her head with a smile, Lilo peddled her way back home.

As she rode down the road, more strange beings began popping up. One would think they were some magical beasts from some video-game or natural animals on an alien world. The only thing they'd find to be real out of those options would be the mention of extraterrestrial origins. The creatures, all 626 of them, were alien experiments created by an evil scientist for various diabolical purposes. Thankfully, the creatures and the scientist turned good over the years as they appeared on the island, though the latter still likes to be known as an evil scientist.

Lilo looked around as she crossed paths with various familiar faces, experiment and human. There was the redheaded Myrtle and her dog Gigi, the latter of which was actually experiment number 007. Then she noticed an elderly lady named Mrs. Hasagawa surrounded by many experiments that were dubbed her "Cats." All these different examples of experiments and humans living together was such a nice sight for the little girl. She soon found herself feeling a little empty as she continued on her path.

Lilo soon pedaled uphill as she came across a little hut with a large, red spaceship beside it. She slowed her roll as she approached the building. The girl rested her bike against the side of her home as she grabbed her buggy. She slightly opened the door as she looked around. Lilo tiptoed into the building as she dragged the buggy behind her.

She fully entered the room when the door slammed behind her. She turned to see an older Hawaiian woman who looked similar to her. She wore a blue belly-shirt, beige calf-long pants, and sandals. Lilo chuckled as she took a few steps back.

"Hey Nani." The older woman said nothing as she continued to glare at the younger Hawaiian. "Does it help that I tried to clean it up after I messed up?" Nani sighed as she rubbed her temples.

"You're just lucky Pleakley likes to clean." stated the older Hawaiian as she grabbed Lilo's hand. The younger girl didn't even fight back as she was lead into the living room. Lilo sat on a yellow couch as Nani stood in front of her, arms crossed, and slight frown clearly displayed. "May I ask what you were doing cooking with the stove? You know you aren't old enough to be working with that kind of stuff."

"I just wanted to make Stitch some lunch. He's been in our room these days ever since…" Lilo paused as she looked around the area. She looked down as she shook her head. "Angel broke up with him."

Nani's frown began to fade as her arms loosened. "I've never seen him so upset. I thought some food and some fun on the beach would help to clear his head. I was gonna use my allowance to buy him a Stitch Special, but Lucas gave it to me on the house." The older Hawaiian knelt down to meet her younger sister.

"That's sweet of you Lilo, but no more working with the stove without adult supervision. And no, Jumba and Pleakley don't count." Lilo couldn't help but chuckle as she embraced her sister. Nani let go as her younger sister grabbed the wagon. "Now go get him."

The young Hawaiian nodded as she walked over to a small elevator. It rose up to the next floor as she took a deep breath. Meanwhile, in a small bedroom a little blue, koala-like experiment with large ears, large tear shaped pupil-less eyes, a round navy nose and a short stumpy tail sat on the bed. He also had light blue patches around his eyes, a light blue patch running from under his chin down to his stomach, two dark blue markings; one on the back of his head, and the other on his back, navy claws and toes, two nose wrinkles, one chin wrinkle, three tufts of sharp hair on top of his head and three more tufts on his chest. He looked down at a picture of himself among various other experiments.

He rubbed his finger along the image until he landed on a certain individual. The individual seemed like a pink, feminine version of himself with two long antennae atop her head. He sighed as he rubbed a circle around the being.

"Angel." Sighed the creature in sadness. A knock at the door startled the creature.

"Stitch?" called a voice from the other side of the door. He hid the picture under a small pillow as he turned to the door.

"Ih!" called the little blue experiment. Lilo entered the room with her buggy behind her. Stitch took one sniff, causing his frown to turn into a large smile. The Hawaiian girl had to step back as her companion ran over to her buggy. He quickly went through the food and shakes like a starved animal.

"I thought you could use some food since you've been up here for so long." Stitch barely registered her excuse as he began to slurp down the last milkshake. He patted his belly as he looked up. He suddenly let out a loud belch, causing Lilo to burst into laughter. The two sat together on Lilo's bed as they looked to the midday sun.

Stitch had his paws in his lap as Lilo continued to look over the horizon. The Hawaiian girl jumped up as she put her hands on her hips. "I was thinking of heading down to the beach and having some fun. There'll probably a sandcastle or two. Wanna come with me?"

Stitch felt a little conflicted at this point. On one hand he didn't want the awkward feeling of running into Angel again. BUUUUTT he did love destruction and nowadays that's all Lilo ever builds sandcastles for. The two sides conflicted in his head as Lilo got her beach stuff together. He nodded his head as he looked to his best friend.

"Okie-taka." Lilo walked past Stitch calmly mentally pumping her fist at her success. Stitch hopped off the bed to follow her but, upon reaching the door, she turned to face him.

"Race ya!" She quickly shut the door before sliding down a pole. Stitch let out a crazed laugh as he ran for the window. Lilo began to ride her bike down to the beach as Stitch rolled after her. The Hawaiian girl pedaled faster and faster, but Stitch was still gaining.

People quickly moved out of the duo's path upon sight. Lilo crossed the street just as a truck was approaching the intersection. Stitch jumped out of his role as he leapt over the vehicle. He jumped off of one of the buildings at the turn before resuming his roll. The beach was soon in sight as the duo tried to pick up the pace.

Lilo found herself tiring out as she pushed harder and harder. She suddenly began to fall behind as Stitch pulled forward. A banana peel soon found its way in her path, tripping up her bike and sending her flying. "Stitch!"

The little blue ball took a sudden turn as he raced to catch her. He was successful in cushioning her fall as they both skidded to a stop. Lilo rolled off of him as they both had their backs to the sidewalk. "You good?" Stitch nodded as he looked to her. "Let's not go that fast again."

"Emba-chua." It took the duo a bit to gather their bearings, but they soon returned to their plans. As far as Stitch was concerned they were having a ball. They did all the things they'd usually do on the beach, which usually consisted of: looking for shells for making necklaces and bracelet; visiting any experiments who show up to the beach (sans Angel who was thankfully absent); and doing a bit of hula practice. Then came time for Stitch's favorite beach activity of all time.

A few crabs wandered through a sandy fortress as they made themselves at home. The sudden vibrations, however, caused them to dig into the ground. Stitch loomed overhead as he prepared to destroy the center of the establishment. He raised his foot as high as it could go.

"WAIT!" He stopped in compliance as Lilo checked her bag. She sounded off her success as she brought out a camera. "I'm not letting this go to waste." She quickly took the photo before jumping back. "OKAY GO!"

Once given the okie-taka, Stitch slammed his foot into the castle. He continued to wail on it as he tore it apart. He then grabbed on to a seashell and used it to cut up an impressive tower. Lilo couldn't help but laugh, squealing as sand was kicked towards her by accident. The blue furball let out a crazed laugh as he looked up into the sky.

Lilo sat down beside her friend as he plopped on his back. She looked over the ocean as the sun was beginning to set. Stitch began to sit up as Lilo grew silent. He soon found her frowning and looking down to where the wave meets the beach. He tried to subtly catch her attention, but she seemed to be deep in thought.

"Lilo okie-taka?" The girl in question jerked as she looked to Stitch.

"Yeah. I'm good Stitch." The experiment sent her a raised brow, actually making her chuckle at the unusual face. "It's just… don't you feel like something is missing?" Stitch looked a little surprised by the question.

What could be missing in their happily ever after? Wasn't it good that they rescued all his cousins? Seeing his confusion, Lilo cleared her throat. "I mean it's nice that Hamstervile is locked up for good and the experiments are back but, now I'm not so sure what to do with myself. I don't know if anything could feel like what we've done in the past few years, ya know what I mean?"

Stitch could only shrug in response. The only thing he was missing… wouldn't be thought of at this point in time, so he couldn't really tell Lilo that he felt what she was feeling. The young Hawaiian sighed as she stood up. "Sorry I messed up our beach trip with all this mushy stuff." Now that was a lie and Stitch wouldn't let it go unanswered.

"Naga!" He jumped up to stand beside her. "Lilo bootifa!" He hugged his companion to try and make her feel better, but he was only partly successful. Both of them noticed the sky grow darker as the stars began to shine through.

"We should probably get home before the others worry. I heard Jumba will be back from his trip in a few days." Stitch's happy mood returned as he began to pull Lilo along. They got their stuff together before heading back to the house. A new star shined in the sky overhead as they departed.

Pelekai Household

Lilo could be found helping with the cleanup from dinner. Pleakley had thrown on his human disguise beforehand and said he had a date with an alien woman from Andromeda 3 who wanted to try some earth cuisine, something that wasn't that common legally outside the planet's galaxy. That left Lilo and Stitch with the duty of taking care of the dishes as Nani was caught up in a phone call. Stitch had started to make a competition out of it, but Nani was quick to stop him before he did any damage. Lilo was lost in thought as she continued to wipe a plate.

She still couldn't shake that feeling inside. Something was missing, but she couldn't really tell what. She felt a hand on her shoulder as she stopped her work.

"I'm pretty sure it's clean now Lilo." informed Nani as she hung up the phone. The young Hawaiian sighed as she put the plate in the other side of the sink. "Why don't we talk about what's bothering you." Lilo wanted to argue that everything was fine, but if her words wouldn't get through to Stitch then there was no way she was gonna convince her older sister. They once again found themselves in the living room, but this time Lilo found herself in Jumba's lazy chair as Nani sat in a wooden one.

"I don't really know where to begin." answered Lilo honestly. Nani waited patiently as her younger sister tried to find the words to say. "Have you ever felt empty? Like you didn't know what was really going on anymore?" The older Hawaiian woman nodded in response.

"I felt that way when I was left to take care of you by myself." Lilo nodded as she remained silent. The fact that their parents weren't around was still a sore spot that hadn't exactly faded away. "I thought I wouldn't be able to take care of you and keep up with my competitive surfing, so it left me thinking the same thing. All I can say is that I'm thankful for the choice I made."

Lilo nodded in agreement. She couldn't think of how life would be if she were separated from her sister. It was nice to know that someone had an idea of what she was feeling. She looked up from her hands as she decided to continue.

"Now that the whole thing with the experiments and Hamstervile is over, I don't really know what to do with myself. I had a set goal for an entire year, and then there were those rare times when something was wrong with an experiment or someone needed something. I just… can't see what I'm gonna do with my life from here." Nani shook her head as Lilo looked at the powered off TV.

"You're still stir crazy from all those adventures. That's how I felt when surfing season came and went. You just have to find a new outlet for all that pent up energy. We both know private school didn't work out as best as you hoped, even after the whole experiment wrangling. Maybe you just need a job to keep some responsibility until you're old enough for college."

Lilo dragged her fingers across the chair as she looked down. "I know it might take a few years but…" Lilo suddenly stood up from her seat, shocking Nani.

"I can't just sit around and do nothing! There's more out there than just college and work. I don't think anything would have the same appeal as what we've been doing all this time. I've entertained the idea of going into wildlife protection and care, and I've studied it enough to know that it'll give me something. I just feel like I was made for more than this!"

Nani didn't know what to say as Lilo looked away in shame. Neither expected such an outburst from the young Hawaiian. She decided to do the only thing she knew to do in this moment and embrace her younger sister. Lilo remained quiet as Nani rubbed the back of her head.

"Why don't we wait for Jumba to come back Thursday. He probably knows some exciting space jobs that you and Stitch could do together." Lilo nodded as she remained close to her sister. It was a few minutes before the two finally broke apart. "Tomorrow we'll head out to get some supplies to make him a big welcome back party."

"I'd like that. I'd like that very much." The two sisters split ways as they prepared for bed. Stitch was already knocked out as Lilo entered the room. She changed into a blue night shirt and a pair of light blue shorts as she approached the window.

She stared off into the night sky, much like she did the night Stitch came to Earth. She soon focused on a very bright star as it hung in the night sky. She really hoped Jumba would have the answer to her problems. She didn't know what she'd do if he didn't. The star that held her attention seemed to glow a little brighter as she looked at it.

Taking a second to make sure no one would be able to hear her; she closed her eyes. "Hey big guy. It's me again. I know it's been a while since I've asked anything of you, but I honestly don't know what to do. I've been running around in circles trying to find something to give me that feeling of purpose, and I'm grateful that everything is alright now, but I just can't seem to find an answer."

Stitch's ear twitched as he secretly listened in on Lilo's prayer. "I know Jumba might have an answer to my problem, but I just can't help but feel that there's so much more out there for me. I just wish I could find what I'm looking for, so that's why I come to you now. You've never let me down before. Please give me what I need and help me to feel complete and help me to be the best that I can be. Amen."

Stitch lowered his ear as he heard Lilo stand up. He could make out her movements as he watched her shadow. She laid down in bed as she grabbed on to her green doll Scrump. The little blue experiment waited till Lilo was completely asleep before moving over to her bed. He hopped on the mattress, careful not to wake his trusted companion.

He still couldn't believe that after five years she would go from being just slightly taller than him to being more than double his size, and she was ten. He tried to help her with many problems that she came across as she got older, but he wasn't as knowledgeable as he felt he needed to be. He at least had been some help when the girl started having mood swings a month ago, but even then it was only as a little cuddle buddy. He sighed as he curled up next to the young Hawaiian girl. It didn't take long for him to also fall into slumber.

The star slightly moved in the sky as it continued to glow. The light it gave off grew brighter and brighter, almost as if it were getting closer. The star found a constant brightness as it approached the building. A three pronged shape began to appear as the light began to dim, a blue tag flowing on each. More of the being began to appear as it grew closer to the house.

This could only be the mythical Pokémon Jira…

"Got ya!" shouted a voice as a yellow hat was thrown away. The light completely dissipated, revealing a light purple creature with a vaguely humanoid appearance. It had green eyes with yellow sclera, a yellow ring marking on its forehead, a small, pink dot under each eye, an up curving horn on each side of its head and dark pink hair tied into a short ponytail. Its body had a dark pink, V-shaped marking on the chest and a small, golden spike on each shoulder. Its mitten handed arms were not attached to its body and instead floated next to it; each arm donning a small golden spike similar to those on its shoulders.

A large golden ring behind it was revealed to be the source of the light, almost like a portal. He had two more rings; one around his waist and the other hanging freely from his horn. He chuckled as he slowly drew closer to the hut. "You actually thought I was Jirachi! Nah! Name's Hoopa!"

He quietly entered the room as he rubbed his hands together. "So this little girl wants a new adventure huh? Well then, let Hoopa be the one to grant you your wish little lady. I'm sure Arceus or the human upstairs won't mind if I have a little fun." He silently enlarged one of his rings as he used Psychic to lift Lilo and Stitch into the air.

With a snap of his fingers Lilo was changed back into her regular clothes and her bike was floating in between the duo. "Hope your happy with your wish little lady. If not then you can find me in a few years, and I'll bring ya right back here. Either way, nothing will ever be the same." He moved the duo into the ring as slowly as possible, careful not to awaken the woman or the alien.

Lilo and Stitch disappeared from sight and Hoopa's work was done. He closed the portal and moved the ring under himself. "And as for me, I'm heading home." He yawned as he stretched his detached arms. "It's been a long month and I'm tired."

With that his ring flew up, pulling him back home. A smaller golden ring was left in his wake as his regular one disappeared. No one was around to witness the departure of two of this world's heroes.

Unknown Forest

Lilo rolled around as she struggled to stay asleep. She felt an uncomfortable sensation on her back as she let out a groan. The familiar feeling of grass hit her hand, feeling a bit soothing. Her face scrunched as she patted at the plants. Her eyes slowly opened as she looked to where her roof should be.

She was instead met by a sky filled with clouds and tree branches that obscured her view. She screamed as she shot up, making several strange birds fly off. A familiar snarl reached her ears as she turned to find Stitch up on his feet and looking around frantically. She was too shocked by the change of scenery to correct him about his thumb still being in his mouth. He finally turned her direction, his anger turning to concern.

"Wiwo!" shouted Stitch, shouting out as he bit his thumb. He quickly removed the object before running her way. He began to sniff her as she righted her position. Some of her worries dissipated as Stitch began to lift her arm.

"I'm fine Stitch." chuckled Lilo as she pulled her arm away from her little buddy. Stitch helped her stand up, especially when she almost tripped over her fallen bike. The duo quickly took inventory before assessing their situation. Lilo sighed as she shook her head. "It's official: we're pretty much lost and alone out here."

Stitch nodded sadly in acknowledgment as he took one last look around. He caught a small blur moving through the brush as Lilo brushed off her bike. Oblivious to the potential threat, the young Hawaiian girl looked to her companion with a smile. "We aren't going to get our answers just laying around here. Let's see if we can find a town or something."

Stitch looked to the brush for a bit, making sure whatever moved didn't come out to attack. After a bit, he nodded in agreement and moved to meet her. He was thankful that the buggy was also among the few objects they found in their possession. He hopped in as Lilo began to take off. An hour later and they still hadn't found any sign of civilization.

One thing became clear very quickly as they took in their surroundings: they were no longer in Hawaii. The trees and plants that could be found were all meant for an inland forest. Nowhere in the islands of Hawaii could someone find an area of trees this big. Not only that, but the animals around them were completely different from anything they'd ever seen. Stitch groaned as he laid back.

"Need… food." Lilo looked back to comfort her old friend, but her stomach also growled in hunger. She looked around as she tried to identify some kind of food item. She sounded off her relief as she noticed some apples in the trees. She came to a stop as she propped her bike up.

"Well now's your chance to get us both something to eat." Stitch followed the Hawaiian girl's line of sight, soon spotting the fruits in the tree. His exhaustion was lost on him as he eagerly climbed the tree. He quickly ate one of the apples before grabbing a few more with his extendable arms. He tossed Lilo two of the fruits before grabbing a few more for the road.

This time Lilo heard the rustling from a bush nearby. She turned her back to the tree as she awaited Stitch's return. The grass began to shake more as a small creature could be made out. She readied one of the apples in defense as a small purple rodent with a beige underbelly slowly approached her. The only thing she could tell for sure was that it was not friendly.

She heard some rustling as two more hopped out of the brush. Lilo quickly realized that she was surrounded. "Stitch!" One of the strange rodents leapt at her but was stopped as the blue experiment pounced it. Stitch was quick to beat up the little rodent before throwing him into a tree.

Much to the duo's surprise it easily rose again as it let out an angry hiss. The other two jumped at Stitch as they bit and clawed at him. He used his extra appendages to easily throw them off before grabbing at a large rock nearby. He threw the improvised weapon at one of the beasts. It connected, but once again the creature walked the damage off.

The one who first popped up began to gain sparks in its whiskers as it stood its ground. It suddenly unleashed a bolt of electricity, making Stitch roar out in pain. "STITCH!" He found himself on the ground as the three rodents circled him. Lilo readied for her original plan to throw an apple, but a shadow suddenly caught her attention.

"Use Tackle!" shouted an elderly voice. A light caught the Hawaiian girl's attention as something knocked all the rodents off at once. She was surprised to see a red lizard with a yellow underbelly standing guard over her and Stitch. His tail was ignited by a flame, which was actually not the most shocking thing she's seen all day. The sounds of heavy footsteps soon catch her attention as a large figure approached.

He was an elderly man with an Asian complexion that wore a lab coat, a red long sleeve shirt, khakis, and brown loafers. He looked to Lilo with a serious frown. "Are you alright young lady?" Lilo could only lightly nod in response. His attention was soon returned to the creatures that attacked her and Stitch.

The little red lizard continued to dodge several attacks made by the rodents. It would return swipes in kind. The elderly man threw his arm to the side as he looked to his companion. "Use ember to chase the Rattata off Charmander!" The little lizard, now known as Charmander, puffed up his chest as the three Rattata rushed him.

"CHAR!" roared the creature as he unleashed a small stream of flames. The three rodents were smoked as the flames dissipated. Fearing that the attack would come at them again, they bolted. The little lizard soon turned his attention to Stitch as he sounded his concern. Lilo was quick to exit her stupor as she collected her friend.

"Please wake up Stitch." pleaded Lilo as she held Stitch in her arms. "Please." The elderly man quickly joined them as he looked over the little blue experiment.

"Looks like a low level thunder was enough to do your Pokémon in." assessed the man. Lilo looked confused by the unfamiliar term, but Stitch's groaning caused her to pause and drop the subject. Her unknown savior shook his hand as he pointed to her buggy. "Does he have a Pokéball?" Once again confused, Lilo looked down to her companion.

"No sir." The man nodded in understanding. It wasn't uncommon for families to keep Pokémon with them as pets without not catching them. He quickly pointed to her buggy.

"Then load him into that buggy and follow me. I can heal him back at my lab." Lilo was too worried about her friend to even care if this man was taking advantage of her or not. She placed Stitch in the buggy as the man pulled out a round sphere with a red top and a white bottom. "Return Charmander."

She turned around in time to see the creature become absorbed into the ball upon its opening. She was a little worried about the sight, but she really had no other choice at this point. The man nodded to her as he walked backwards. "This way to my lab, you're lucky we aren't too far away." Lilo followed behind her savior as he led her forward, unsure of what she was getting herself into.

Unknown Laboratory

Stitch was hooked up to some kind of machine as it scanned him. Lilo watched from a one way window as her friend was stabilized. The old man could be seen checking his vitals in an attempt to help him heal faster. He sprayed a yellow liquid from a bottle, which made the experiment jerk a bit. After this the man removed his face mask and gloves as he walked towards the door.

He exited the room to find Lilo looking over her friend. He could see the slight ease in her stance as Stitch returned to peaceful slumber. The elder smiled as he placed a hand on Lilo's shoulder.

"He'll be fine after a few minutes of rest." stated the man as Lilo turned to him. "The time will go by much faster if you relax and let the paralysis run its course. Would you like some tea young lady?" Lilo slowly nodded as the man lead her out of the med lab. She sighed as she sat in a small chair.

The man soon came into the room with a tray carrying a tea set. He quickly poured himself and Lilo a glass each. The Hawaiian girl slowly took a sip of her cup as the elderly man sat across from her. "I don't believe I've ever seen you around here before young lady. Might I ask who you are?"

"Lilo Pelekai sir." answered Lilo as she looked down at her cup. Seeing that she was at least willing to talk to him, the man took a sip of his own tea.

"It's good to meet you young Ms. Pelekai. My name is Professor Samuel Oak. I run the Pokémon Research Lab here in Pallet Town." Lilo was once again puzzled by the strange term as she looked up to meet the professor's eyes. "Speaking of, I don't think I've ever seen a Pokémon quite like yours before."

"Can I ask a question and not sound crazy?" Samuel seemed a little concerned by the question, but nodded, nonetheless. Lilo knew that if he looked at her like she was crazy then it would confirm her suspicions. "What exactly is a Pokémon?" He tried to compose himself, but the professor had never heard that question from someone her age before.

"Forgive me if this sounds rude, but is that supposed to be a joke Ms. Pelekai?" Lilo shook her head in response, shocking the old man to no end. The very look he tried not to give her told her everything she needed to know. "Why Pokémon are the very creatures who inhabit our world, with over 750 of them being discovered within the past few decades! How, might I ask, have you never even heard the term before?!"

"I didn't want to think about it at first, but I don't think I'm from your world at all." This deduction startled Samuel to no end. He had heard of the Ultra Wormholes popping up around the Alola region and unleashing powerful extra dimensional Pokémon into their world, but never in his life had he heard of a person from another world. He shook his head as he tried to deny the possibility.

"How did you come to such a conclusion? It sounds like a crazy theory for anyone to make, even someone of your age." Lilo nodded as she looked to the room that held her friend.

"Because I've had enough experience with aliens to know that life on other worlds exists." The professor looked between the girl and her healing companion a few times before she returned her attention to him. "Stitch isn't one of these Pokémon that inhabit your world. He was a genetic experiment by the recently reformed Dr. Jumba Jookiba. I know it sounds crazy, but you have to believe me on this."

Samuel didn't really want to believe the young girl that stood before him. A story like this sounds like some child's elaborate scheme to keep from being in trouble or a crazy person's lament. One look into the girl's eyes, however, told him that she was very serious. Plus it would explain the slightly unnatural DNA and organs Stitch contained. He stood up as he walked over to a door.

"Excuse me while I think over the matter Lilo." The Hawaiian girl hesitantly nodded as the professor left the room. He rubbed his temples as he stood with his back to the door. He had a call to make, and he wasn't exactly going to enjoy it. He quickly pulled up a phone as he dialed a number.

The screen in front of him remained black as someone picked up the line. "Hello, Detective Looker? This is Professor Samuel Oak of the Kanto Region. I have a situation over here, but I must ask you to please listen before you go jumping to conclusions." An hour almost passed as Lilo found herself looking into the room Stitch was resting in once more.

She still couldn't believe such little creatures would be able to take him down so easily. Not even Sparky could knock out Stitch in one hit like that, but the electric experiment had gotten close enough before in some accidents. She had a firm faith that Stitch would awaken soon, but it just didn't feel like things were going by fast enough. She heard the door open as she turned to greet the professor. Instead she was met with a blue turtle that had a squirrel like tail and a frog with a plant on its back.

They clearly looked like they were in search for something fun to do, and the turtle's actions told Lilo that they definitely weren't supposed to be in here. The frog stopped in place upon being spotted, but the turtle didn't seem to notice as he continued to walk forward. He accidentally ran into Lilo as he toppled backwards, landing on his back. The Hawaiian had to hold back her laughter as the little turtle tried to get up on its own to no avail. She knelt down as she helped the turtle stand up again.

"There you go little guy. Next time remember to look where you're going unless you like falling on your back." The squirrel turtle rubbed the back of its head in embarrassment as it looked up to the girl. The plant Pokémon rolled its eyes as it walked up beside its companion.

"Bulbasaur." groaned the plant frog hybrid. The turtle repeated his own name, Squirtle, a few times. She might not have known much about these strange creatures, but it was definitely visible that they say their own names when they speak. This fact reminded her of that one tree person she saw in a movie once, though he had more to his vocabulary than them. The door opened once again as Professor Oak returned.

"I see you've met the other starter Pokémon." stated Professor Oak. "These two, along with Charmander, are Pokémon that I gift to new trainers when they come of age or earn their trainer license." Lilo looked down at the two creatures before her in surprise. Squirtle struck a pose as he tried to look cool, while Bulbasaur gave her a lazy nod. She looked back up to the professor as he brought out the orb that held Charmander, which she assumed was one of the Pokéballs he mentioned earlier.

He held the ball outwards as he unleashed the fire lizard. The three starters ran off to play as Professor Oak put the Pokéball on the counter. "I concurred with a colleague who has more knowledge on trans dimensional travel, and he informed me that there was indeed some form of spatial distortion in the forest where I found you. Sadly, there may not be a way to send you home for some time. The kind of technology required for this endeavor has just recently entered the experimental field and any natural phenomenon could send you and your partner anywhere in the universe."

Lilo didn't take her eyes off the professor as she let the news sink in. She knew the only real way that she could ever viably her home was if Jumba could get that kind of technology up and running, and even for him it sounded like a challenge. Seeing the girl's downtrodden expression, Samuel decided to proceed. "I know that being so far from home can be a daunting and scary experience, but I want to help you as best as I can." The Hawaiian girl sent the professor a hopeful smile.

"I wouldn't want to be a burden on you Professor." denied Lilo. "Stitch can eat a lot and he has a bit of a temper." Samuel waved the girl off as he gave off a light whistle.

"Nonsense my dear! I would feel horrible if I left the two of you to fend for yourselves, and it just so happens that I have a perfect way for you to earn a living for your stay." Lilo was about to question the man's words when the starter trio ran over. Professor Oak knelt gown to pet the little guys as he kept his eyes on his guest. "You see, being a Pokémon Professor not only means studying the various Pokémon that inhabit our world, but also looking after the Pokémon of other trainers who don't have the blessing of a large property."

Charmander and Squirtle began to fight over the professor's attention as Bulbasaur patiently waited for his turn. "While I usually don't have much trouble taking care of these creatures, I find myself short staffed as the number of Pokémon on my ranch increases. I could definitely use your help with some of the more docile specimens if you're willing that is. I won't force you to do something you're not interested in." Lilo decided to think on the offer for a bit.

She didn't really know when they'd get home, so finding a way to make money was a necessity in a place like this. Plus there'd be a roof over their heads. Her thought process was interrupted as she watched the frustrated Bulbasaur walk away from the professor. On instinct, she walked over and began to show the little plant frog attention. She smiled as Bulbasaur sounded of his joy, tapping his foot on the ground a few times as she gently rubbed the bulb on his back.

"I'll do it." Samuel smiled as Bulbasaur affectionately licked Lilo's hand. Before he could acknowledge her decision, a pleasant ringing filled the air. The starters ran over to the exit, the professor soon to follow.

"Sounds like our little friend is done healing." Lilo's expression lit up as she ran over to meet him. "I'll let you go in first as to not give off the wrong impression. If what you said is true I'd like to keep my lab in one piece." The Hawaiian nodded as Samuel lead her back to the med lab.

Stitch felt a headache forming as he began to stir. He learned a valuable lesson today: don't underestimate little purple rats. He slowly opened his eyes as a green light flashed over him. He was met with a strange machine and yet another unknown location. He sat up as he tried to assess the situation.

He quickly took note of several medical supplies, diagrams of weird creatures and other various signs that point towards a medical facility. He grabbed at his head as he stood up. A nearby door opened just as he felt his balance leave him. He fell backwards only to be caught in a familiar, warm embrace.

"Lilo." stated Stitch in his exhaustion. The Hawaiian girl pulled her friend into a cradle position as she carried him away from the machine. She smiled as the experiment tried to make himself comfortable. She rubbed his head as he curled up in her grasp, sighing in relief.

"I'm alright Stitch." reassured Lilo. "Everything's okay. I've found a nice man who decided to let us stay with him in return for some help taking care of the animals here." Stitch nodded slowly as to not upset his headache. The duo soon exited the lab to meet up with Professor Oak and the starter Pokémon.

The three little creatures looked to Stitch with admiration and curiosity as Lilo held him in her arms. They'd never seen a creature quite like him before. Stitch looked to the elderly man who saved him, letting off a light growl in suspicion. Being all too familiar with that kind of reaction, Samuel decided to keep a safe distance from the exhausted creature.

"Glad to see you're awake little one." greeted the professor. "My name is Professor Oak. I hope the treatment was able to cure you of your paralysis." Stitch groaned as he laid back in Lilo's arms. He wasn't in the mood to look threatening.

The Hawaiian girl looked between her old friend and the professor as she rubbed the former's head. Samuel sounded odd his understanding as he quietly clapped his hands together. "He must still be tired from the whole ordeal. It is rather late isn't it? I'll show you to your room so you both can get some proper rest."

The starters were left behind as they made their way down the halls. Lilo looked outside to see a few more creatures walking around the area. There were walking tadpoles, floating rocks with arms, even a two headed bird! She didn't have time to look for more of the creatures as Samuel came to a stop. "This room is usually used for when I have colleagues over or I just don't feel like moving from one side of the building to another, but I believe you'll find more use for it than me."

He opened the door to reveal a plain room with blue walls, light brown carpeting, dark brown furniture, and a black lamp. The bed looked like it would be able to hold her and Stitch. She entered the room as Professor Oak let out a yawn. "I'll let you get settled in for the night. Good night Lilo."

The Hawaiian nodded her head as the door was closed. She kicked off her sandals as she placed Stitch on the bed. She contemplated changing into something else, but after a long day she didn't really care about sleepwear. She carefully laid down beside her friend as she held him close. Sleep soon took her as the night wore on.

And so Lilo and Stitch have found themselves in the Pokémon world. They will help the man look after the various Pokémon under his care, but how much help will they be? Will they ever get home? Find out next time, as the journey continues.

That's it for the first chapter. I know some of you probably don't believe it that Stitch was taken down by a Rattata, but it's a different world with different rules. He isn't exactly built for the world of Pokémon. That Thunder could've had any effect on him. In any case, what's done is done.

So what do you guys think? Are you satisfied with how Lilo and Stitch found themselves in the world of Pokémon? Did Hoopa's trick fool you? Let me know in a review down below and I'll try to respond ASAP. This is Inkaliber, signing out.
