PIMPIN' AIN'T EASY, LEMME SHOW YOU HOW IT'S DONE

Pikachu was fighting for his life.

At least, that's what the simulation was. He hadn't bothered making a holographic Samus, not with the real thing on the ship. Even if she didn't know him, it'd just be creepy to make another version of her. Ridley roared out again, the force of his cry pushing the Pokemon backwards. It was hard hanging on, but Pikachu would rather take a little damage than risk falling off the platform. "PIKACHYUU!" he cried, releasing a massive bolt of lightning at the violet behemoth.

"Piiikachuuuuu!" he continued, the blast of lightning arcing across the sky to collide with the monster before him, knocking it backwards. "Piiika."

Sentinel had been planning on simulating Macaddam's Oil House from back on Cybertron, when the first thing he sees upon entering is some gigantic winged (and no doubt contagious!) organic hurtling at him!

"Stupid stinking organic!" He arms his shield and energy lance, raising the first up while swinging the other one across. It hits Ridley with a heavy thud, Sentinel's servo's shrieking for a moment before his strength catches up and he hurls it aside as he completes the swing. "Rraah!"

Pikachu wasn't used to giant robots, but he didn't have much of a problem with them. Sure, the ROBs had been jerks, but samus looked like a robot in her power armor. For all he knew, so was this guy. "Pikachu!" he shouted to the robot, telling him to stand back. The reason why soon became obvious.

Thunderclouds gathered overhead, and Pikachu called down another powerful bolt on top of Ridley. The small Pokemon had been wanting to stop Ridley himself, but he wasn't going to turn down the extra help.

Sentinel's jaw fell open as he watched the energy discharge. From such a small construct? Unconceivable!

Inconceivable?

Impossible?

Impossible works, go with that.

Impossible!

It certainly looked organic, but he'd learned that not all of the meat-things, or constructs, on this ship were always what they seemed at first scan. He transformed and hurtled across the platform they were on, transforming back with a very cool three-point 180 drift turn, readying his weapons again. "Bring it this way, little live wire! I, Sentinel Prime, Cybertronian champion of justice, will assist you in defeating this vile beast!" *g*

So the new guy was excitable. That worked. Using his weaker jolts, Pikachu began knocking Ridley back as much as he could. Ridley, however, was far larger than any normal Brawler, and his claw came down on Pikachu even faster than the Pokemon had expected, hitting the mouse for quite a bit of damage. "Chaaa!" he yelled, feeling the force of the blow knock him backwards toward the giant robot. The only thing that crossed Pikachu's mind at that moment was how much it was going to hurt when he hit Sentinel Prime.

Sentinel raised his shield, then abruptly realized that might not be a good idea. He opened his arms and caught the yellow thing with a loud THOK against his torso.

"I told you to bring IT over here, not for YOU to come over here! Do you speak Cybertronian?" Sentinel growled, missing the point entirely.

[friend-of-samus.livejournal.com]

Pikachu shook his head and rolled his eyes at the giant robot's offhanded remark. Rather than answer, however, he leaped out of Sentinel Prime's hands and back into the fray, charging straight at Ridley. This time he saw the claw coming, so he dodged with the thanks of his Quick Attack.

Once he'd gotten behind Ridley, then the real fun began. Pikachu felt the energy building in him, and he launched himself forward suddenly, slamming into Ridley's back with a fully-charged Skull Bash. It sent the space pirate leader hurtling toward Sentinel Prime, with Pikachu hitting the ground not far from the both of them.

"Pikaaa!" he shouted.

[i-am-that-jerk.livejournal.com]

Sentinel dropped his shield and diverted all power to his lance, swinging it like a mace as the creature came at him. "Eat the crackling taste of justice, you overgrown shrike bat!" The lance connected with Ridley's skull with staggering force.

[friend-of-samus.livejournal.com]

That worked. Ridley flew off, shrieking and exploding as the simulation ended. "Pika!" Pikachu said to his new friend, striding over to him.

Sentinel examined the thing closely as it approached. It didn't scan quite like an organic, but who could be sure? That electrical discharge ability was something impressive though. Probably kicks like unfiltered energon.

He still took a step back as it approached, watching it cautiously. "Err... yes, of course." He put his hands on his hips. "Nothing to it for a true Cybertronian warrior of the Autobot Elite Guard." He grinned. "So... what are you?"

'Who' was entirely secondary.

[friend-of-samus.livejournal.com]

Oh, that was easy to answer. Pikachu pointed to himself. "Pikachu," he said.

[i-am-that-jerk.livejournal.com]

Sentinel paused, then nodded. "Peekhachu it is then." He then decided to broach the more important question.

"Are you an organic, or are you more evolved?"

[friend-of-samus.livejournal.com]

Pikachu's ear twitched, but he showed no other sign of understanding Sentinel Prime's question. "Pika pika?" he asked, cocking his head to the side.

[i-am-that-jerk.livejournal.com]

Sentinel blinked at the incomprehensible response. He thought this ship translated speech.

"Basic Cybertronian! Do you speak it?!"

[friend-of-samus.livejournal.com]

That was easy to answer. Pikachu simply shook his head.

[i-am-that-jerk.livejournal.com]

Sentinel let out a heavy sigh. "So you understand it... but you don't speak it. Slag."

He drew himself up. "Well... in light of your exemplary value as a potential energy source, I, Sentinel Prime, will teach you!" He addressed the sensorium. "Techno-organic nightmare computer! I require a classroom, with whatever tools and equipment necessary to instruct this... Peekhachu to vocalize Basic Cybertronian."

Pikachu stared as the room suddenly changed, now quite confused. "Pika pika?" he asked, turning his gaze up (way up) to Sentinel Prime.

Blitzwing was standing in a corner, merely watching (and recording) an Autobot and a small rodent fighting a giant alien dragon-thing.
"Now I haff seen everyzink!" he announced suddenly, coming out from his corner, grinning maniacally.

Pikachu was getting confused. Where were all the giant robots coming from? "Pika?"

asdfgh Pikachu is adorable

[crazychanger.livejournal.com]

"How cute!" Random suddenly giggled, despite Icy and Hothead's protests reaching down and patting the small electric Pokemon on the head, though not as roughly as he might have done so in the past.

Is he?

[friend-of-samus.livejournal.com]

Okay. That was nice enough. "Chaa!" Pikachu replied, grinning at the much taller robot.
