Author’s Note: This is my spn_cinema fic for the prompt Pokémon franchise. It has nothing to do with any of the movies; actually, I've never seen any of the movies. This is all to do with the game and the TV show. Uh, both of which make up 89% of my childhood (real math here people, real math). So…this fic. Basically. What even, Cherie? I don't know. I just…I really loved playing Pokémon, okay? Don't judge me? No, probably do judge me for this one. I think I might deserve to be judged. LOOK, I DON'T EVEN KNOW, OKAY. I got this idea like a year ago and it just MADE SO MUCH SENSE. And now I have written it and maybe it makes sense to no one else on the planet, but it continues to make sense to me. If you're wondering why only the original 150 Pokémon are referenced here, it's not because I am some anti-new-Pokémon snob but because all the new ones were added at around the time I was getting too old to still be as into Pokémon as I was and I was like, "Whoa, whoa, what? I could keep track of 150 but how the balls am I supposed to collect them all if YOU GUYS DO NOT EVEN KNOW HOW MANY THERE ARE ANYMORE?! Cherie out." Anyway, I'm sorry for this fic only I'm not really. I *am* sorry to anyone who reads it. I stole the poke ball divider from here. Title is from the song-DON'T PRETEND YOU DON'T KNOW WHICH SONG I AM TALKING ABOUT BECAUSE YOU DO. A big thank you to both clex_monkie89, who was originally going to do art for this and then her computers all exploded at once, and mashimero, who stepped in at the VERY LAST minute when she heard Clex couldn't do art and offered and produced this gorgeous piece with WERENINETALES!JENSEN who has FRECKLES LIKE OMG. She cannot resist the siren song of Pokémon, poor dear. Also: I made my stand-in Bill the inventor of the Pokédex instead of my stand-in Professor Oak. Full disclosure.



Summary: Pokémon AU: Like most kids his age, Jared left home at 18, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, determined to become a Pokémon master. Five years later, the plan has changed a bit-Jared traded in his gym badge collection for a better adventure, a chance to do some good. Now he's what you might call an eco-terrorist; he finds abusive Pokémon masters and, well, persuades them to free their Pokémon. Jared doesn't believe in keeping Pokémon as pets, but he frees a Ninetales from Team Rocket that will not stop following him. In addition to his new, fire-type plus one, Jared keeps bumping into a very forward, very handsome, green-eyed stranger. He doesn't know who Jensen is, why he seems to be everywhere Jared goes, or why his Ninetales takes off every time Jensen is near, but he's very much enjoying trying to figure it out.

Unfortunately, I'm not so sure how accessible this story will be to people not already at least moderately familiar with Pokémon. In a better world, this story was half as long (like it was supposed to be), and I got a chance to send it to some n00bs for feedback on what does vs. what doesn't make sense. If you would like to venture to try and read this fic without any prior knowledge, here are some links that might be useful to you:

Searchable List of the 151 Original Pokémon with Pictures
So you know what the little guys look like when I mention them.

General Map of Kanto
Jared does a lot of traveling. Here's a good general idea of what that looks like.

Layout of Kanto from the Generation I Games
This is probably more detail than anyone needs and can also slow down computers a lot, but it gives you details on what can be found in the world of the games I based this story on.

Bulbapedia - The Pokémon Wiki
Great for general searches of anything I mention that doesn't make sense. This thing saved my life while I was writing this.

The Wiki Page on Ninetales
The best and most important of all Pokémon (at least as far as this fic and author are concerned). Can supply you with useful information on why I made certain choices (for example the eyes changing colors in the fight scene).
