Chapter 17 Part 1 - Thinking of a plan

A/N - I don't own Pokemon and Megaman X. They both belong to their respective owners: Gamefreak and Capcom. Now, enjoy it!

"Pokemon translation"
("Thoughts")

Alia looks around her surroundings within the storage room, trying to keep calm despite her hyperventilating brain overloading with thoughts that aren't helping her case at all, but shakes her head and try to focus on what she needs to do; ("Escape.")

Her phtalo blue eyes scan around the room, decorated by the pile of Pokemons entrapped within gold and capsules. She knows there are two men outside of the front door, so trying to escape from there is both out of the question and stupid.

Going out of the vent could help, but it's too small for her, unless...

("I can try to get one of those creatures out of there and get help!") Alia got an idea, but it's a bit risky since she has no idea what those small critters would do to her since she just came into this world. She was mentally prepared for many things, but this isn't one of them, and she has no idea what those things are called except the white bug thing is apparently named Snom.

Judging by the biology, it would be way too slow to get help, so that Snom creature is out of the question. She tried to put her focus in the ones that can crawl through the vent, but the problem is that she knows absolutely nothing about these creatures.

("This is gonna take forever. Great, wonderful.") Alia thought sarcastically as she takes a deep breath and tries to hop a bit to move while tied up. She looks around and look at the Pokemons up and down, "Okay... which one would be the best?" She mumbled to herself, though she also grabs her caller device on the floor that Hunter J threw where she is careful not to activate it.

She notices majority within the storage room she's in are small creatures, which makes sense considering the storage room is quite small and a bit crowded. Knowing Hunter J from what she observed earlier, she probably has more of them in another different room or a drastically different location and this is just one of the branches she's in.

Then, she sees one pokemon that catch her eyes where it looks like it can float and a small rectangle body with one eye. Alia tries to worm to that specific capsule, turns around so that her hand can reach for the button and press it, where the gold starts to fade and expose the creature's true colours where its bluish metal skin, reddish pink eye and silver spikes on the back.

("Y-You free me?") The creature asked her telepathically, which caught her by surprise.

("You can speak to me telepathically?!") Alia asked in surprised.

("It's the only way you can understand me.") The creature told her; unaware of Alia able to understand Pokemon due to her being an "outsider" of the Pokemon world.

Alia considered correcting the creature, but she doesn't have all the time in the world to explain, and it speaking to her telepathically would make things easier. So, she rolls with it for now.

("Okay then, still I need your help to get out of here.") Alia gets straight to the point, not wanting to waste time. ("I need you to find three people that can help us.")

("Why not the police?") The robotic creature asked her.

("Because I trust those three more than the police.") Alia lied, where her true intention is that she's hoping to kill two birds with one stone - find the trio and escaping from whatever she's currently in, so the last thing she wants is being rescued by the police, and having to explain what happened which she very highly doubt that anybody would believe her story and probably complicate things.

("Liar") The creature blurted out, which shocks Alia a bit, but she bites her lips.

("Fine. I just want to kill two birds - finding those three and getting rescued.") Alia explained more honestly, ("Just... look, you will easily find them together very likely, where one is a guy with very long blonde hair tied in a ponytail, another guy with orange spiky hair and the last guy always wears blue.")

The robotic creature thinks for a moment in silence, then telepathically says, ("While your course of action is illogical and risky, tell me why I should go to them and not the police?")

("Because they're the most capable people I know.") Alia stated clearly and honestly while her blue eyes narrow a bit with determination.

The creature takes another moment of silence, and says telepathically, ("Fine. I will go those three you have described. Now, help me out of the capsule.")

Alia nodded as she turns over and tries to kick the capsule's glass, but couldn't put enough strength due to her very awkward position, much to her annoyance.

("Ugh! Can you just tackle it out?") Alia asked.

("Alright, but it will take quite a while to break it.") The creature explained as it starts to tackle it again and again.

("... This is gonna quite a bit.") Alia thought.

(Meanwhile at an Pokemon centre's extra rooms)

"Ah! God, that was tiring!" Axl yelled out as he falls flat on the bed.

"How do you think I feel?" Zero pointed out sarcastically about his gym battle.

"But still, walking around the city sucks." Axl admitted, which Zero rolled his eyes as he sits on the bed.

X takes out the two eggs that he got from Nurse Joy in Canalava city and the other from Officer Jenny. Zero's eyes widen and blurts out, "Oh yeah. Forgot we got those eggs."

"How could you forget?" X pointed out while his brow raise as he place the eggs on his bed.

"I was focusing on the task." Zero defended him stoically as he opens up his bag and takes out his own egg from Nurse Joy.

"Oh yeah!" Axl remembered as he always takes his egg out from his bag too. "I wonder what it will hatch?"

"Me too, but I'm sort of excited." X admitted a bit while blush little bit from embarrassment.

"Of course you are." Zero sighs, "I just hope my one isn't chaotic like my other Pokemons."

Suddenly, Zero hears some noise from his bag, and felt something heavy on his hair. He sighs, lowers his head and asks, "He's in my hair again, isn't he?"

Axl bursts out laughing at Staravia, once again, trying to sleep in his hair. Zero just sighs in defeat and shrugs, not bothering to argue with a literal bird and just flops on the bed.

X snickers a bit, and says as he looks at his egg, "Maybe they'll hatch in the morning."

"That would be pretty neat." Axl admitted. "Still, we should rest up for tomorrow."

"That is actually the most responsible thing you ever said." Zero mumbled at him, which he glares at him.

"Anyways! We should get to sleep." X intervened to deescalate.

"Fine." Zero sighed and just goes to sleep while holding his egg to keep it warm, and with Staravia still sleeping on his hair like a nest.

"Night guys." Axl said while holding his egg too.

X sighs of relief, and sleeps too with his egg. "Night..."
