The Science Behind it

(Part II of Sewers, Boulders, and the Genetic Engineering of a Cat-Looking Thing)

- - -

Peter led Bruce and Tony up yo his lab, Sylveon cradled in his arms.

When they reached his lab, he tossed his mask on one of the lab tables and set Sylveon down on the ground. He pulled another three pokéballs from his webshooters and let out Luna-A shiny Umbreon, Vivi-a Vaporeon, and Goggles-a Joltik.

"Do you only have the four?" Tony asked.

"No, I have more. But I can't bring out Maggie-Gyarados-because she'll probably break something and I grounded Moon-Espeon-for the time being because last time I let her out in the lab she tossed my project across the room and nearly blew something up."

"Hold up," Bruce stuttered, "Spider-you're a kid?"

"I am a teen."

"You're 16, kid."

"You're 16 and you managed to bio-engineer-gah, whatever these things are!?" Bruce gestured towards the pokémon with both hands before leaning against the wall. "I need to sit down."

"I'll grab a chair." Peter headed over to his desk, pulling his favorite swirly chair over to Bruce and letting him sit down.

Tony poked around by Peter's computer, pulling up files and scanning through them. "So how did you do this? And without me noticing, because I'm certain I would have noticed..." Tony gestured to the pokémon, "this."

Peter gave a shaky laugh. "Well, I started with..." and Peter went on to explain some very confusing sciencey-type things that made sense.

"Aaand that's how I did it!" Peter said. He smiled, hands on his hips and a proud look in his eyes.

"That's impressive," Bruce sputtered, "Seriously."

Peter squealed. "Thanks Dr. Banner! That's a real compliment, coming from you!"

Gasping Tony put his hand on his chest. "And it isn't, coming from me? I'm hurt."

"You, Mr. Stark, aren't a famous bio-scientist." Then Peter's eyes lit up and he clapped his hands. "Hey I know! I'll give you two pokémon!"

"I don't think that's necessary-" Tony started, but Bruce cut him off.

"I'd love to see the process."

And so two hours later both Bruce and Tony had a watch-type wristband holding a single pokéball.

"Come on, bring them out!" Peter squealed, bouncing on his toes, "I can't wait to meet them!"

Bruce went first, tossing the pokéball in the air. In a flash of light a small, black and red wolf called a Zorua stood at his feet.

"Hey there," Bruce cooed, making small clicking noises with his tongue, "how're you doing?"

The Zorua leapt up onto Bruce's lap, putting it's paws on his shoulders and starring into his eyes. "Zo-ru!" It chirped.

"Guess it's my turn." Tony clicked his tongue and let out his Pokémon-a Riolu.

The Riolu let out a howl before jumping at Tony and biting him. Or more accurately, nibbling at his arm.

"Ouch! Mmv," Tony bit his lip, "Damn that hurt. This thing doesn't have a move called 'bite', does it?"

"Actually, he does," Peter slid into the seat at his desk and pulled up the list of moves he'd given the pokémon. "He's also got Howl-as you've just seen,-Endure and Quick Attack. Though you can train him to have more. Same with Zorua."

Bruce leaned back in his chair. "Does Zorua have bite?"

Peter laughed. "No. But he does have Leer, Scratch, Roar, and Snore."

"Thank goodness..." Bruce mumbled, moving to scratch Zorua behind the ear.

Tony growled at Riolu. "Bite me again and I'm grounding you."

Riolu made an offended noise before backing away with a huff.

"Well, now that we've done that," Peter said, gathering his pokémon, "I think it's time for a pokémon movie night."

Zorua barked excitedly and started dragging Bruce along by the pant leg.

"Hey!" The scientist exclaimed, "You don't even know where the living room is!"

Zorua paused. Then he whimpered lightly and Peter gave a small laugh.

"I'll meet you two upstairs in half an hour. We'll start Kanto today."

Twenty minutes later Tony, Peter, and their pokémon were sitting in the living room and waiting for their popcorn to be ready when Bruce walked in holding Zorua in his arms.

"His name is Zozu now," Bruce commented before slumping onto the sofa and leaving Zozu in his lap.

Ten minutes later they were watching pokémon: season 1.
