Chapter Text
Jamesy whimpered as he was lead down the wide, deep corridors of the facility. He was comforted as Daddy’s warm hand rubbed his back, with Papa’s hand on his shoulder on his other side.
“We’re almost there, don’t worry.” Phil smiled as they walked.
“This looks scary, is he comfy here?” Jamesy mumbled.
“Oh trust me, we’ve been taking careful consideration to your and Peter’s suggestions.” Phil hummed. “Here we are!” He chirped, standing in front of a black metal door with a small window.
Jamesy was a little concerned, seeing the almost prison-esque door, before Phil held his ID card up to a screen, then held his thumb over a pad, then stared into a light for a moment, before the door hissed and opened.
He was surely mistaken.
The room beyond the door was a massive expanse of a room, it looked more like a nature reserve than a room, complete with trees and an artificial creek and plenty of nooks and crannies to explore.
The Soldier was a little jealous at the amount of space.
Jamesy gasped as he stepped into the room, taking his shoes and socks off to step in the cool, mossy grass.
“Wow, you guys really outdid yourselves with this.” Daddy hummed. Papa nodded in agreement.
“We figured our guest deserves to be comfortable in an environment that’s as close to the one he would be used to.” Phil explained, leading them further back into the room. “The air is purified and climate controlled based on calculations of what his species would be used to, considering the type of megafauna that exist within his world.”
The four came to a stop at a bend of the artificial creek, where a familiar, fluffy, orange body was perched over the water, taking calm, even sips.
“Rai, you have some visitors!” Phil called out.
The Raichu looked up from the water, his ears flicking up at the sound. His eyes sparkled with recognition as they locked with Jamesy’s own.
“Raichu rai!” He chirped, bounding over to the boy, who quickly kneeled to the ground to catch his fluffy mouse friend.
“Hi Rai!” Jamesy giggled, petting the fluffy back of the creature. “Y’u havin’ fun here?”
“Rai raichu rai rai!” The electric mouse chirped and squeaked, nuzzling his face into the boy’s chest.
“I missed y’u too, ‘s mister Phil takin’ good care of y’u?” Jamesy asked.
“Rai!” The Raichu nodded, sitting up to point to a pile of toys at the far end of the room.
“Yep, those are his favorites. I come in here once a day when I can, and we have a few other agents he’s familiar with that come in when I can’t. He even lets Jemma do little tests with him to make sure he’s not building up too much electricity.” Phil explained.
“Rai, rai raichu chu.” The mouse added on, stepping away to a safe distance before his body was covered in sparks, the lights in the room flickering ever so slightly as he shot a bolt straight towards the ceiling.
“Woah!” Jamesy grinned, for once not terrified of electricity.
“Yep, he’s quite the generator! Jemma and Leo have been having a field day studying his abilities.” Phil nodded, petting the mouse’s head. “Who knows, maybe we’ll ask Loki to bring him a few friends.”
Jamesy giggled at the thought, a whole Pokemon sanctuary for him to play within.
After the impressive power display, Jamesy followed his little electric friend to the large patch of grass, where the two spent their time rolling and playing to their heart’s content.
