Four Months for Them, Ten Years for Him

Summary:

Four months after Red Robin vanished saving Batman from the Time Stream, the Batfamily mourns in a quiet limbo of grief and denial. Bruce Wayne refuses to accept Tim Drake’s death without a body—facts over faith—yet the Batcave feels hollow without the son who once anchored him.

When a mysterious portal rips open in the cave, they brace for an enemy. Instead, a scarred, older man collapses through.

It’s Tim.

Just not the one they lost.

This Tim is 27, forged by ten years in another world. No longer Robin, he’s a Dark/Psychic Gym Leader in Unova, protector of Castelia City, a survivor of civil war, and a married man with a life—and a team of Pokémon—he would die for. DNA and protocols confirm the impossible: only four months passed in Gotham; a decade passed for him.

Shock turns to conflict. Bruce, unable to lose his son again, tries to keep Tim in Gotham. But Tim refuses to abandon the world that became his home, the city that depends on him, and the husband waiting across universes.

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Notes:

I know this is a long one, but I wanted to get everything settled for my introduction. My News Revolution was to finish a fanfic and I think this is a beautiful idea.

It's just me myself and I writing the fanfiction and worse of all the grammar since I'm dyslexic please tell me if I misspell or even place wrong grammar. ( Yes I do A level English but still hitting B notes)

This fic was inspired by The Bat Under A Jolly Rogergo by

BTW the tags will be updated by the more characters I introduced.

I will be updating once a week and if I do miss an update I will let you know in the comment section.

Chapter 1: Is the world truly Black and White

Chapter Text

The bat family was in the bat cave, going through logistics and silently grieving the missing Red Robin, who seemingly ‘died’ while saving Bruce from the Time Stream. Batman felt older; his face seemed aged by years, even though it had been only 4 months since Tim Drake disappeared.
 
He didn’t know what to think or how to act with Jason's death he felt an anger a rage that couldn’t be contained until Tim came along and subdued him, but with Tim’s disappearance, he doesn’t know what to think or worse to believe. Bruce knows that he won’t stop until he finds the body of his robin until then there’s no confirmed death. He believes in facts not conspiracy.
 
Bruce surveyed the other vigilantes in the room Jason with his helmet off sitting comfortably on a chair drinking coffee that Alfred made for him. Dick was next to Damian scolding the young boy to be more careful with the civilians with Damian scowling but nodding along. Steph was alongside Cass who was just silent as always, you can notice they’re both grieving for their lost friend and brother. Bruce didn’t know what to do normally he had Tim with him to help.
 
ALERT ALERT
 
 
ALERT ALERT
 
The Batcave computer went red with its emergency system going on high alert with the screen saying an unknown portal is emerging in the Batcave.
 
This shocked the bats, but their instincts kicked in, and they got ready. Jason was pulling out a gun from underneath his shoe with Dick going in front of Damian in a protective stance. Bruce could see Cass and Steph next to each other ready for a fight whiles Bruce was on the bat computer looking for the variable who was entering the cave, if they were hostile.
 
Then something happened that none of them could process Signing in Red Robin entered the cave the bat computer pronounced-
 
The portal emerged and someone fell out of it, a man with black hair scars littered his face a piercing of a fang rested on his right ear and a tattoo of a purple scorpion on the right arm. His eyes were a familiar blue, too familiar for Bruce’s liking or worse to his comfort. What was better was that he looked healthy with no bags underneath his eyes. His hair is in a ponytail and he’s wearing a broken half of a dog tag and a strange stone on his bo staff that screams power.
 
The man who fell from the portal didn’t hit the ground with roughness but with a trained grace. When the man straightened his back Bruce saw his suit was a mixture of pink and dark purple when Bruce locked eyes with him his instincts screamed that it was Tim his son.

 

 

Dick was the first to speak, “Tim?” He could barely wheeze out the name like it was a stab wound to the chest.” Is that you?” Dick questioned once again not believing his eyes.

 

Tim was older, scruffier than clean looking than he usually is he looked like a soldier and bulkier than his past self. He looked around in disbelief and discomfort looking around the cave he saw his family the only ones he hadn’t seen in a long decade. Parts of him were happy but the other part of him would rather this be a fever dream.

 

No one dared to make a move how could the bats make a move if they did, it could be a nightmare that they would wake up from though this was really painful.

 

Jason stiffened his instincts told him this man is dangerous; he held his coffee and gun in case this was some evil variant of Tim. He needed a drink and a smoke to make it through this night. Damian was in shock the young boy couldn’t believe this was Drake, he looked like a warrior, he refused to believe it was real. Barbara who just entered seeing a man who resembled Tim was in a state of shock who could blame her, it’s disbelieving that this man was Tim.

 

Bruce for all his contingency plans just froze.

 

Tim sighed unbuttoning his shirt and losing his tie to give himself a moment to breathe he needed to give the facts, so he followed protocol if Bruce wasn’t. “Bat cave protocol Omega transmission four.” The bat computer opened a device, and Tim dropped his DNA into it and there’s the proof Tim Drake of Earth One. That was all the proof the bats needed.

 

That’s when Dick couldn’t hold himself back no longer, he needed to get to his brother, he stopped inches away from Tim’s face hesitant to touch him or hesitant to think he had the right to act like a brother to Tim after he acted towards him trying to put him in Arkham and taking Robin away without asking first.

 

We- “Dick couldn’t hold back a hysterical laugh it sounded flatter than anything” thought you were gone forever.” Dick couldn’t help himself but let the tears drop from his eyes to his feet full of hope and a mixture of sadness.

 

Tim grimaced,” I’m not surprised you thought I was dead.” He wasn’t, being lost in time is being as good as dead that’s why he had to save Bruce even if the others thought he was insane which the ins don’t get him wrong anyone living in Gotham for a minimum of a week can be classed as insane.

 

Tim turned to his past mentor evaluating Bruce with a calm gleam in his eye scanning Batman. Bruce looked horrible, with bags underneath his eyes that looked way more pronounced to the trained eye. Posture is steady but there are slouches in some of Bruce’s breathing. Tim sighed Bruce obviously wasn’t taking care of himself even if he did look like he put on a good amount of weight by the way he looked bulked which is good. What worried Tim was Bruce’s eyes, which looked hollowed out and the life had given up on him by the way he could barely establish eye contact.

 

Even if he’s not Robin anymore or ever be a vigilante again he’s still Tim’s father figure and he will always care and love Bruce Wayne no matter the situation.

 

“How much time has passed for you?” Tim asked looking around not moving as he observed the area even more it didn’t look different before his disappearance. He needed to know for definite from their mouths how long he been gone. “It’s been a long decade for me.”

Bruce's face twitches a little, he knew Tim needed to know how long he’s been missing the protocol.

 

“For 4 months you have disappeared.” Bruce said, staring at Tim putting his Cowl on his face to mask the pain to let the Batman step in and let Bruce step out. It hurt Tim the way that Bruce is analyzing him like a variable that needed to be understood, a piece of a puzzle that seemed untrustworthy.

 

The look in Bruce’s eyes stung him in the worst ways imaginable, like Tim wasn’t trustworthy like Tim hadn’t sacrificed years in an unknown world that he loved now unconditionally.

 

Tim moved swiftly away from Bruce’s eyes to the bat computer sitting down and slumping on the chair he knew he was safe from whatever Bruce would try to do. He needed a break from all this craziness, though if it’s only been 4 months for them, he wouldn’t expect Bruce to grow any emotional intelligence towards his family, the man’s heart was a brick of stone.

 

Jason couldn’t hold it back anymore blurting out,” How long has it been for you?” Tim looked too old for it to be only four months for him.

 

“It’s been 10 years for me,” Tim said simply. Tim didn’t forgive Jason how would you forgive a person who almost killed you and antagonized you calling you a replacement and a pretender but he was older now more mature and didn’t want to start any unnecessary problems so he let it go,” It’s been a decade, looks like I missed you a lot more than you could miss me.” Tim chucked bitterly, he never blamed them he does blame Ra.

 

The shocked everyone minus Tim, 10 years that would make Tim 27. He’s been in an unknown world for a decade.

 

Tim continued, “I went to the Pokémon world it is fantastic, a world of magical creatures that you can interact with and study. I don’t know why I came but I would like to return home I do have a region to protect and a husband that I’m married to, so if you don’t mind helping me out.”

 

Steph screamed, “what your married?” She could not believe her best friend married without her being there.

 

Cass was shocked, she felt uneasy she couldn’t read Tim at all it’s like something is blocking her from even trying to understand Tim.

 

“Tim, how about I answer that question,” Jason thought Tim was crazy asking for that, since they just got him back and want to enter this Pokémon world. “No.”

 

Tim sighed he thought as much, to Tim he is passed grieving seeing the bats feel like a phantom wound and he hates it all of them looking shocked at his proposal hell he understands why there shocked they found him after months of searching only for him to pop right in then ask to go back to another dimension he calls home. Tim wanted to be back with his husband, and his friends.

 

The former Robin will always have an unconditional love towards his family and will be loyal to them, out of familial obligation more than anything. However, he has his own family to take care of, his own friends to have drinks and celebrate with. He went through trials after trials of hell to get him where he is but that meant nothing compared to the good days that made Tim nostalgic. He wants to go back. No, he will go back, he has a new life.

 

Bruce refused, he couldn’t let Tim go back, he can’t lose him.

 

Bruce struck forward cocking his fist ready to knock out Tim, if necessary, he would make sure Tim was safe with them. Tim needed to understand that Bruce been looking everywhere. Planets cities towns hell he even asked Constantine for a favor to help him travel dimensions to find Tim. He will not let Tim leave. Before he could even strike-

 

A growl echoed through the room then a creature appeared in front of Tim it was a purple, scorpion-like monster. Its body is segmented, and it stands on four pointed legs. It has two large claws at the front, the tips of which release poison, and a similar large pincer on its tail. He was not pleased that this human was trying to hurt his partner Drapion raised his claws ready to kill the man Infront of him preparing for a cross poison using his poison energy readying up the slashing move-

 

“Scorpina,” Tim said calmly he went to his partner Pokémon and stroked the scorpion Pokémon's head affectionately. Scorpina scowled he was not happy letting the prey go but his partner told him to stop so he begrudgingly stopped activating the cross poison and let Tim pat his head.

 

“Tim what the actual fuck.” Okay, Jason seen a lot in life the killer croc, coming back to life but what the hell is that thing? “Is that thing?”

 

Damian froze he didn’t even see the creature move; it made no sense for him to fear that he was the son of Batman. He should not be scared so why is he shaking?

 

Tim looked at Bruce dead in the eyes he was not impressed with what Bruce tried to do he was a grown ass man,” Bruce I’m 27 years old remember that before trying to strike me down. Tim was impressed that it took Bruce this long to attack to put Tim in confinement. “Now answer your question Jason this is a Pokémon its species name is Drapion it’s a dark/poison type and is referred to as the ‘ogre scorpion’ species there known to be extremely aggressive.”

 

Tim needed to explain everything so there’s less questions,” A Pokémon is a creature with a type attribute that range from the 18 chart types from water to from normal to fairy( pretends he said the rest of the types), in my world we co-exist with these creatures we can even capture turn to become Pokémon trainers, researchers, rangers and much more.” Tim noticed everyone was intrigued well he can’t blame them it’s new knowledge their learning after

all.

 

“So, Tim what are you then?” Steph was curious in her opinion that Tim would be a Pokémon researcher due to how much knowledge Tim can retain and how he can use it. She was genuinely amazed by the creature don’t get her wrong she was scared of those pincers that looked like they could kill her in a snap.

 

“No, I’m not a researcher.” Tim said dryly he knew Steph too well and by the jaw drop Steph was currently doing he was correct on her thought process.” I am a-

 

Before Tim could discuss what, he was he got a call from his head gym leader and Tim sighed great another problem hopefully everything is going fine back home. He should answer the call Tim pulls out his phone and clicks on the accept button letting the call go through.

 

“Gym leader Tim where is your current location,” a hard voice said. The man in the camera is portrayed as slightly old, but a tall and muscular, respected figure. He has white hair and a beard, which, notably enough, covers his mouth and resembles a toothy lower jaw of a reptile. wears a white shirt with rolled sleeves. He also wears gray pants, which are attached by two purple suspenders (with two shoulder pads with spikes), as well as some black shoes. In addition, wears some black gloves and a green gem etched onto the collar of his shirt, with two green strings.

 

“Drayden I am located in my regional world, a worm hole swallowed me up and I landed at my family location, I don’t know when I will come back, I have all my Pokémon with me incase anything comes south and I will be reporting to this worlds hero’s to help return me to a safe trip back to Unova.” Tim sighed then continues speaking again,” oh and please tell my husband hi and I should be back soon, do not tell Grimsley I went missing again…” 

 

Tim began to think what else he missing then he froze, shit he thought. “Drayden, I need someone to handle my Gym in Castelia, since I’m not there anymore the workers are going to lax show them the video in case I even disappear it should be the one called ‘you kids better not be slacking off.’” Tim sighed rubbing his head.

 

Drayden didn’t even blink processing the information,” Yes, I will ask Burgh to come out of retirement. “He then let out a smirk,” I won’t be telling your husband anything that doesn’t mean Iris won’t, stay safe.” Drayden ended the call

 

Tim looked at Scorpina,” shit, we are screwed.” Scorpina just nodded in agreement.

 

“Tim.” Batman growled, he knew not to step closer, the Pokémon was right next to Tim protecting Tim’s every angle.”Who was that and why did he call you a gym leader?”

 

Tim was going to explain so he ignored Bruce turning his head towards Steph.”I am a gym leader.”

 

Steph blinked” yeah okay, what is a gym leader?”

 

Tim smiled proudly,” A gym leader is the highest-ranking trainer and an official leader of the gym they're managing in their respective city, we gym leaders use a specific type, we are like earth justice league in our regions.” Tim continued growing even happy at the thought of Castilla.” I am a dark/psychic type gym leader those are the types I specialize in, more importantly I am the gym leader of Castella City.”

 

Barbara asked,” What does Castelia City look like?” She wanted to know the place Tim loved so much, you can see the genuine emotion of happiness on his face.

 

Tim's eyes soften, how would he describe his city, he knew if he said this it would piss Bruce off,” It’s like Gotham but better.” Tim looked around and saw Bruce stiffening. “You see there are beautiful skyscrapers busy streets it’s bright in the day, it’s dazzling I’m glad to be its protector.” Tim never regretted becoming a gym leader for his city.

 

The bats saw Tim face they knew Tim wouldn’t lie but it disturbed them, a city like Gotham where Tim was managing the city and protecting it led to it becoming less crime-filled unlike their mission which seemed to get worse. Batman didn’t know but he felt a tingle of envy.

 

“Now do you want to see the rest of my Pokémon. Tim asked, if he’s here he might as well make everyone comfortable with each other.

 

Cass nodded signaled toward Tim ‘go ahead. She was curious and trusted Tim wouldn’t bring anything too dangerous out. Jason nodded he was intrigued to know more of these creatures. Dick smiled giving Tim the go ahead why wouldn’t he, he wants Tim to get comfortable so if he feels safer with these creatures why would he stop him? 

 

Tim didn’t even look at Bruce for permission, the man was too paranoid to even hug his son or say, " I miss you. Bringing out a pink poke ball which has a heart love heart.”Come on out Mesogog.” Tim released a primarily pink creature, with a pale-yellow muzzle and a scaled belly. Its feet and hands each have a single clawed digit, while the hands also have a clawless thumb. Around its neck is a spiny ruff with alternating red and white stripes. The large seashell on its head has a spiral shape with two horns near the base. A red gem resides in the center of the shell. The shell's eyes are visible on the back of the shell.

 

“Sloooow.” The royal Pokémon already knew he was in a different universe; he was going through Tim’s memories. He turned his body back to Tim and bowed halfway in respect for his trainer. He decided to use simple human dialect to communicate since he knew humans do not understand Pokémon language.” Leader, I seem to understand this is your family from this universe. “Yawning SlowKing continued,” They are quite an interesting bunch of individuals sure none of them can handle your intelligence though they are your ‘family’ so I will give them the benefit of the doubt.” SlowKing did not care if he offended and Scorpina was agreeing with him which is rare.

 

Jason clenched his jaw this little- whatever it was needs a right punch to the jaw.

 

Tim shook his head,” SlowKing what did I say about being too blunt?” Even though SlowKing was highly intelligent seeking knowledge from everywhere he was too blunt.

 

“That sensitive creatures like these humans are too fragile to know the truth.” Slowking will not admit defeat, even if it means disobeying his trainer, he will not be civil with individuals who hurt his leader.

 

“Alright your pink shit” Jason had enough he would not be disrespected by some alien-looking garbage. He pulled out his gun to shoot-

 

Only for the gun to be crushed, “The move I used on your gun was the move psychic, if you attempt to harm me again, I will…” his eyes glowed blue releasing his psychic energy. “Kill you.”

 

Tim smacked Mesogog on the head,” No, don’t threaten anyone, I think it’s time back in your ball.” Tim pulled out the love ball and Mesogog sending a mean glare at Jason huffed presenting himself at the ball and letting himself in floating slightly to Tim's poke ball slot on his gloves which controls three poke balls on each side.

 

“Timmy, I hope that’s your most aggressive creature you have.” Dick nervously questioned he didn’t want anyone dead. That would be disastrous.

 

Tim sighed,” That was my fault, I apologize I do keep forgetting my Pokémon hate other people, I didn’t expect Mesogog to be so hostile. Tim decided to explain what species mesogog.

 

“Mesogog is from the Slowpoke species who evolved into a SlowKing to get one you need a rare item called the kings rock and a shelder to bite into the Slowpokes head as they have a toxin that unlocks the intelligence of a slowpoke to turn into a SlowKing, SlowKing is the royal pokemon and is a water/psychic type. Tim explained to them like a scholar would do to a bunch of children.

 

“Why was he so egotistical,” Dick wondered.

 

“He’s the royal Pokémon, a king is not without his arrogance he’s normally much more collected than this, he must have been affected much more I will help him out later to deal with the situation.” Tim looked at the love ball and giving it a friendly squeeze and he got a happy wiggle back, that warmed his heart.

 

“He threatened to kill me.” Jason growled out.

 

Tim looked at Jason shaking his head.” Jason, please remember that Mesogog may be intelligent but is still affected by emotions he’s in a place, no a universe that doesn’t belong to him he feels out of place especially with the psychic energy.” Tim didn’t have the energy to argue with Jason; he will though protect his Pokémon.

 

Tim decided he needed to lie down before he could continue speaking. He was about to get a chair until Scorpina picked him up and placed him onto a couch in the Batcave that he pulled over with his segmented tail. Scorpina decided to stand next to Tim like a bodyguard, he is the second in command after Tim.

 

“Drake why are you lying down?” Damian tried to keep his hostility to a minimum; he knew Drake was not the same person as before it’s been such a long period of time for the third robin. He was curious why Tim decided to lay down he doesn’t look exhausted.

 

“I’m figuring out who to send next, maybe Venjix will be a good idea.” Tim wondered out loud, he knew the Metagross will not be interested meeting his family due to its almost emotionless nature maybe a little curiosity. He knew the hive mind Pokémon will not be hostile towards his siblings and Bruce who is like a father to him.

 

Before Tim could reach for the heavy ball it opened up by itself showcasing a massive, robotic Pokémon with a turquoise, disc-shaped body, and four legs. The main body appears to serve as both head and body, and this Pokémon's overall construction gives it the appearance of a mechanized arachnid.

 

Venjix stood still then it slowly turned its head to the bats,” Tim’s family. You are now a part of the hive.”They state simply using their telepathy to speak.

 

“Tim, what does he mean by we are a part of the hive.” Dick asked

 

Tim just blinked at Metagross,” Venjix that was quick.” Normally the best you can get out a Metagross is disinterest other than its hive. This was a shock to Tim.

 

Venjix just nodded” They are your family no matter how long it’s been so I will protect them until we head home.” Venjix continued tilting its head to the side.” You told me that your family was like to the hive for us in the beldium species so I must protect them to protect you.”

 

Tim let out an amused chuckle,” You’re the best Venjix, if you put it like that, I won’t stop you.” Tim was honestly proud of his hive mind companion.

 

“Tim how can they speak” Steph asked then points to Scorpina,” but this one we can’t understand.” Scorpina snarled at the blond-haired girl who hid behind Cass.

 

“Pokémon have their own language that they talk with, and most Pokémon can’t speak human dialect, but they can understand unlike humans who have to use body language and bonds to understand their Pokémon.” Tim continued, “Psychic types Pokémon are the intelligent type some psychics can talk using some words barely any phrases or use telepathy like the  metagross species, however the real smart ones that pushes their power like my pseudo legendary and my SlowKing has reached an advance level of their type they mastered the aspect of psychic energy to be able to translate themselves for humans to understand them clearly.”

 

“So, Timbo what you’re saying they’re just massive nerds” Jason stated.

 

“Massive nerds that can crush your gun yes that’s what they are.” Tim retorted.

 

Venjjx decided that he rather be near the bat computer going pass Bruce calmly levitating who just glared at them in submission only for Venjix-

Human, you have strong will and mental defenses, but do not make mistake my benevolence for weakness if we wanted to hurt anyone here, we would have done so, move out the way I want to learn more of this planet.”

The hive mind Pokémon stated factually, floating around Bruce using its telekinesis to do some research about his trainer’s previous world. It was curiously he never had, since he’s here he might as well satisfy it.

 

“Now you seen three of my Pokémon who admittedly are my safer partners the other three are well…” How would Tim explain this that his other three companions are overly protective of him and that they are willing to kill everyone in this room if they even dare disrespect Tim.” They are naturally aggressive more than Scorpina.”

 

Dick went pale as a ghost, he thought Scorpina was the most aggressive and dangerous Pokémon Tim had through the use of his large size with the snarls when ether someone tries to approach Tim. Now Tim is telling them he has three more creatures that were even more dangerous.

 

Jason snorted, only replacement would capture dangerous creatures and tame them. If they weren’t like that pink smart ass, then it’s no problem.” Come on bring them out.”

 

Tim lazily grabbed another ball the coloring of which was green and black,” Hunt Prince Olympus.” He released the dusk ball and what popped out was a canine with black fur, a long orange snout, and an orange underbelly. It has small red eyes and a black nose. Around its neck is a white band with a small skull-shaped pendant on its throat. There are two white bands on each of its ankles, as well as three rib-like ridges on its back. The canine has a long, skinny tail with a triangular tip and three clawed toes on each paw. Atop its head is a pair of long, curved gray horns that raked sharply towards the back serves a leadership role if it was in a pack.

 

The hellhound let out a vicious snarl growling darkly smelling scents that are new and not of Tim. His master must be in trouble, so he gathered a large amount of fire energy in its mouth preparing to use flamethrower only for a scratch to his ear made him calm down. He turned his head and saw Tim and barked like a puppy, rolling over for belly rubs which Tim affectionately gave.

 

Damian muttered,” You called this mutt dangerous.” The demon child looked at the hellhound unflinchingly making direct eye contact. This was the wrong move-

 

Houndoom appeared Infront of Damian flashing right at his mouth wide open with fire blossoming to burn the young assassins face. Damian just froze.

 

Tim whistled Prince Olympus back to his side with Olympus walking to Tim then climbing on the sofa deciding to lay atop of the gym leader making sure none of his spikes injured his master. “Damian you should know as an animal lover, you never make direct contact with a predator.” Tim continued to pet.

 

Damian just scowled, he knew that already Drake didn’t have to inform him he knows everything about animals.

 

Jason was impressed,” Damn Timmy that’s a massive dog.” It looked huge in Jason eyes maybe not may big as the other Pokémon Tim showcased. The whole vibes of the Pokémon gave the bully type in Jason’s opinion by the way it was threatening to blow off the demon’s brat head off with that heat.

 

“Your Dangerous.” Bruce Simply said it like a fact to be made and not an opinion. Bruce did not like this something he has no control over worse it was his son. He had no contingency for this.

 

“Bruce, I am dangerous. “Tim won’t sugarcoat how dangerous he is,” I am a trainer who mastered two types that are direct opposite of each other, and I am a gym leader one of the eight trainers who defends the region from any criminals or evil Organizations, but I am not dangerous to family unless you don’t view me as family anymore…”

 

Tim stared at Bruce’s face not breaking eye contact.

 

“You are.” Bruce said simply, Tim no matter if he aged 10 years is still his son.

 

Tim looked relieved by the aspect smiling at Bruce. “Then I’m not dangerous to you, plus if we can find a way to sort this mess out, we can get help from the Justice League to make a device to travel in between worlds whenever you need me but right now my priority is my husband and Unova.”

 

Bruce still didn’t like it, Tim wanted to go back away from him, away from his family to the world that stole him. He needed to convince Tim to stay in Gotham.

 

He decided he hated Tim’s new family even only meeting some of these creatures he disliked them for the simple fact they Tim happy whiles he could never.

 

They stole a decade.

 

His own son made a new family, has a mystery husband and is a protector of his very own city.

 

Did Tim even try to come back home? It shouldn’t have taken this long.

 

Bruce wanted to answer these growing questions only for a mechanical voice to appear in his head.

 

“If you dare ask these questions towards my trainer, I will simply kill you.”

 

Bruce startled turned his head to Venjix who wasn’t even staring at him and looked busy on the bat computer searching up information about creatures of this world. Bruce knew the Pokémon would actually kill him the tone even if he couldn’t distinguish it the intent behind it spoke enough for Bruce does not do anything rash.

 

Bruce snapped out of his mind when Tim began to speak again.

 

“Now you’re seeing my last psychic Pokémon, her name is Astronema she’s feral even not being a dark type.” Tim loved his bird she reminded him of his robin days and she’s shiny. She was a perfect princess, Clay tells me I spoil her too much, but I think he’s jealous that he doesn’t have a shiny.

 

Tim’s Houndoom uses his tail to grab the futuristic looking Pokeball that has a blue, white and yellow finned design giving Tim the ball which Tim pats his head pressing the button on the ball which release a Pokémon who let out a blood curling cry.

 

The Pokémon was large, her legs and undersides feature dark grey plumage while black feathers extend across their back, wings, and tail. Its tail feathers are now shaped like a jet. The crest of feathers above its beak and now purple cerehas evolved into a formation that appears to be blue flames adorned with two white eye-like markings, altogether resembling aviator goggles. The mane of feathers behind this formation has grown more voluminous and fans upward.

 

“KRAAA—VRAAAHHH!”

 

That startled the everyone in the case minus Tim and his Pokémon.

 

The large bird tilted its head hoping it scared some of the humans scanning the room she saw Tim laying with houndoom and she inwardly scoffed she should be the one having the snuggles not the mutt.

 

“Astronema, princess enough with the dramatics you don’t want me going deaf again do you.” The bird Pokémon let out a mournful cry flying down next to Tim pouting. Tim just chuckled maybe clay was right with Astronema being a little spoilt well who could blame him she was the only female member and the youngest on the team.

 

“Holy shit!” Jason could not believe his eyes this creature was magnificent its front having so many scars littered over her body. She looked badass.

 

“This is my youngest member her name is Astronema, she's a rare Pokémon what's rare is her colour, this is what we call a shiny Pokémon, normally she's supposed to have white feathers, and her markings are supposed to be pink not white with the fake eyes being a light blue and not white.” The avian hearing Tim praises her puffed out her chest in pride she was the last of her kind's variant in modern day.

 

Astronema decided to go back to her ball as much as she wants to stay beside Tim, she doesn't like the cave restricting her movements. She can't even stretch her wings or fly properly which is a big no for her.

 

“Now for my last Pokémon…”

 

The bat family could see Tim’s hesitation and they were on alert. The last Pokémon must be the most dangerous of all of them.

 

Tim continued, “You all especially you Bruce do not and when I mean do not stare at their eyes, they will take it as a challenge this is a Pokémon of destruction and very violent, they need to see me first.” Tim continued“Come out Dai-Shi” Tim throws out a dark blue and black poke ball with a yellow crescent moon.

 

What came out shocked the whole bat family…

 

three-headed, draconic Pokémon with six thin, black wings that each end in two points on its back. Its body is primarily dark blue, with black fur covering its necks and shoulders. Its secondary necks are also arms with elbow and shoulder joints. The inner fur surrounding its heads is fuchsia in color and resembles collars. The dragon's heads have black eyes; the main head additionally has fuchsia pupils and visible pointed teeth, while the secondary heads' eyes are simplistic and unable to blink. Its abdomen has two fuchsia stripes, and its feet appear atrophied, having no claws or defined soles. Its tail also sports a fuchsia stripe and ends with a black tuft.

 

The dragon type turned its head towards the Bat family the center head looking bored, he wanted to cause a little damage, but he knew Tim wouldn't appreciate another destroyed building. Turning to Tim he snorted out “High-dry-gon?” He wanted to know why he was released when there was no battle.

 

“Dai-Shi this is my family from this universe, so I expect you not to be hostile do I make myself clear as your commander.” Tim firmly said he will not take any risk with his Pokémon, his dragon is very affectionate toward Tim but to other people or Pokémon it has killed trainers Pokémon for them simply looking the wrong way at Tim. This is why Tim rarely uses him due to his vicious nature towards everything else but Tim.

 

Hydreigon just snorted he will act Nice for now.

 

“Tim, Timmy, Timbo, Timber!” Jason hysterically called out.” what the fuck is that thing?”

 

“This thing is Hydreigon the destruction Pokémon it’s a dark/dragon type and is what most people in my world called a banned Pokémon due to its nature to kill its own trainer or when it's in its pre-evolution stage it will try to each its own head” Tim could see the mix expression on the bats face of caution, scared, and anxiety. “And I'm like the third person to own one in the world well at this moment of time I am the only person to have this Pokémon not even dragon master’s would dare try to touch this Pokémon due to its naturally violent nature. 

 

The dragon simply scoffed his kind wasn't violent they were just a little destructive who cares if there's a dead human or dead Pokémon here and there, like the human businessmen say in Castelia who cares if a few trees are dying?

 

“Tim, why do you have one then,” Bruce asked.

 

Tim couldn't answer that, how could he…that he…

 

Tim couldn't breathe, his eyes started to water a little until Olympus started to lick his tears away and rub his head gently into Tim's chest helping Tim relax to a state of calmness once more.

 

“Sorry, it's not the best of memories where I got Dai-Shi from.”

 

The Hydreigon looked away guiltily slowly moving to Tim who just smiled at the dragon, “you know she and I will never blame you for what happened.” Tim continued,” I forgive you no matter what so she would, you’re a partner I'm proud of having Dai-Shi no matter what anyone said you’re my Pokémon not his anymore.” Dai-Shi nodded.

 

“Tim, what was that about,” Dick asked was worried his brother just had a panic attack right in front of him.

 

Tim grimaced, “PTSD, you don't survive a civil war and walk away unscathed, it leaves scars.” Tim will know he will never be the same after the war he can admit to that he's not afraid to be vulnerable or weak because he knows he has people and his Pokémon who he can rely on. His husband who dealt with war before knew him the best.

 

Bruce was shocked that his son was in a war.

 

How did this happen?

 

Not just any war a civil war. Was he forced to fight?

 

“As much I love to tell you all my adventures, I don’t want to share any details without following the necessary procedures of telling Champion.” Tim lied he could tell them in fact he was free to say anything his champion wouldn't stop him, but Tim only trusted one person with those moments and

he wasn't here yet.

 

Bruce was not satisfied with the explanation at all. He will get the answers one way or another later.

 

“Now that you met my team of 6, what do you think.” Tim asked he was intrigued on what they would respond with.

 

“I hate the pink bubblegum piece of shit” Joson grumbled; the fat fuck deserved a right shot in the face for breaking his gun.

 

“The bird, she's definitely my favorite.” Dick was not being biased because the bird had flown and has wings that reminds him of Robin. Definitely no bias involved.

 

“Drake, your scorpion is an acceptable warrior” Damian was no fool the scorpion was the most dangerous in the team and clearly the leader by the others acts around it even the dragon.

 

Bruce doesn't join in he's not going to play bonding with animals; he has better things to do like a contingency to keep his son here.

 

Cass signed, ‘cute dog.’ To her the houndoom looked like an adorable puppy curling on Tim’s chest like a blanket.

 

Steph snorted she knew which one was the best. “The pink one who pissed of Jason is my favorite since he can annoy Jason easily.” Jason snorted at her lack of imagination choosing the fake Buu.

 

Barbara finally joining in after talking with metagross the whole time said, “Isn't it obvious that Venjix is the best their smart and have very much to give me in terms of ideas.”

 

Now that everyone thought of the creature’s name there was a certain theme going on, but they couldn't quite catch it until the metal Arachne player the theme song of Power Rangers RPM.

 

They all turned to the bat computer then realised Tim named all his Pokémon after power ranger villains.

 

Tim just smiled who was a Power Ranger fan since he was young.

 

Now thought he needed to contact the justice league to help him figure out a way back home.
