Ika Musume and the Alien Virus

Disclaimer: I do not own Ika Musume or Pokémon, only my OC, Naomi Hera.

Ch.1: Gilling Up the Mountain and Meeting a New Friend?

Ika Musume, Takeru, Eiko and Chizuru got off the bus at the base of a mountain as the bus pulled away.

"This is the place, Ika nee-chan." Takeru said as the four of them arrived at the start of a path.

"So, this is the mountain you can see from the beach, de geso." Ika Musume said as she gazed at the mountain. "You can't tell from the beach, but from here it looks gilly big, de geso!"

"Okay," Eiko said as she stretched "Let's start climbing, shall we?"

"Climbing?" Ika Musume asked "What are we going to climb, geso?"

"The mountain, of course." Takeru said.

"This must be your first time mountaineering, Ika-chan." Chizuru said.

"Mountaineering, de geso?" Ika Musume asked.

"It's when you climb to the peak of a mountain." Eiko explained.

"I'm gilling home. Why should I do somefin that exhausting, de geso?" Ika Musume asked as she started to walk off. "I don't jet the point, geso."

But Eiko and Chizuru each grabbed one of her arms. "You'll see when you try it." Chizuru said.

"It gets really fun once you get going strong." Eiko said.

20 Minutes Later…

The four were walking up the trail, with Ika Musume getting tired. "Is it gonna be uphill the inktire way, de geso?" Ika Musume asked.

"Well, we are climbing a mountain." Eiko said.

"Just take in the nature you can't see at the beach." Chizuru suggested.

"Nature?" Ika Musume asked.

"There are lots of birds you've never even seen!" Takeru said excitedly.

"Even Takeru's doing fine and he's in grade school." Eiko said. Ika gritted her teeth, but Eiko wasn't done yet. "Or is this small of an elevation change too much for our little invader to handle?" Eiko teased, knowing she just struck a nerve.

Ika Musume gritted her teeth in anger. "This'll be a piece of shrimp for me too once I get serious, de geso. If that's the way you want it, we'll race, ika!" Ika Musume yelled as she ran up the path.

"Wait up!" Eiko yelled.

Unknown to any of them, a figure saw the entire thing from a distance, and giggled softly.

Ika Musume was panting in exhaustion as she slumped against a tree. "I can't keep gilling, de geso..." Ika Musume said to herself. Eiko and the rest approached her. "Why didn't...anysquid try to keep up with me, de geso?" Ika Musume asked the group.

"Because that'll happen." Eiko explained.

"We don't have far to go, Ika-chan." Chizuru said.

Eiko offered her hand to the exhausted squid. "Come on. One more push." Eiko said as she pulled Ika Musume to her feet.

"I'm tired of all this kraken walking, de geso." Ika Musume complained, before getting an idea. Slowly raising her tentacles, she was about to wrap them around a tree like a grappling hook when Chizuru stopped her.

"No cheating on this walk." Chizuru warned, opening her eyes slightly.

"Fine." Ika Musume said, but then winced in pain as she felt something bite on one of her tentacles. Looking up, Ika Musume saw a pair of squirrels nibbling on her tentacles. "That hurts, de geso!" Ika Musume yelled as she retracted her tentacles.

"Leave the squirrels be and let's go." Eiko said.

But then a monkey jumped on Ika Musume's face, knocking her down, and started to nibble on one of her tentacles.

"It's a monkey!" Takeru exclaimed as the three rushed to the squid to help her out.

"These aren't food, de geso!" Ika Musume yelled at the monkey.

"You see these monkeys a lot in tourist areas." Eiko explained as the monkey kept nibbling on the tentacle, but it was scared off when a bear approached, attracted by the noise.

"Now there's a bear, de geso?!" Ika Musume asked in fright.

"It's a brown bear, to be exact." Chizuru corrected.

"This is no time for trivia!" Eiko exclaimed "Everybody play dead!"

And so the four played dead.

The bear, now curious as to why the four just suddenly dropped 'dead', sniffed one of Ika Musume's tentacles before it started gnawing on it.

"I thought I told you my tentacles aren't food, de geso!" Ika shouted at the bear.

Nearby, the figure decided to make herself known to the group, and announced her presence.

"HRRUUMMM!"

"HRRUUMMM!"

The bear, startled by the sudden noise, fled.

The four were also startled by the noise, but Chizuru tensed as the nearby bushes started to shake. But none of the four were prepared for the figure that emerged out of the bushes.

She, for the figure was obviously female, had orange hair and was wearing a blue bandana which had a single, purple line running vertical in the middle of it, which didn't quite reach the top or the bottom of the bandana. Where her ears should be, there were two orange square-like protrusions, which each had a single horizontal blue line which, like the stripe on the bandana, didn't reach the entire length of the protrusions. She also had hazel eyes, a small nose, and a mouth that was smaller than that of the average human. She was wearing an orange tank top that had a large purple gem embedded in it, and was also wearing a dark gray swimsuit with vertical black stripes. She was wearing an orange miniskirt that seemed to have yellow spikes jetting away from her hips. She also wore orange stockings that had a single, vertical blue line that spanned from the lower area of her upper leg, through the knee, and to the upper area of her lower leg. She also wasn't wearing any shoes. But one of the two major characteristics that clearly pointed out that she was an alien was that in place of arms were four tentacles, with two on each side. There were two orange upper tentacles and two blue lower tentacles. The other characteristic that pointed out that she was an alien was the fact that she was floating in midair.

The group of four stared at the newcomer with wide eyes and were openly gaping, while the figure stared at them curiously.

"I think we need to go back and tell Cindy about this, de geso." Ika Musume said. Eiko, Takeru and Chizuru nodded, and the four walked back down the mountain, with the figure following them.

Once the group of, now, five arrived back at the Aizawa household, Chizuru dialed Cindy's number while Eiko, Takeru and Ika Musume gave the alien a tour of the house.

With Chizuru…

Chizuru dialed Cindy's number and waited for her to pick up. After two rings, she heard Cindy's voice.

"Hello? This is Cindy." Cindy spoke.

"Cindy? It's me, Chizuru. Are you on speaker?" Chizuru asked.

"I am now. Why? Is it something that the Three Stooges need to hear as well?" Cindy asked.

"Yes, are they listening?" Chizuru asked.

"They are now." Cindy said after a few moments of silence.

"Good. As of today, you four will no longer go after Ika-chan." Chizuru said.

"What?! But why?!" Cindy yelled.

"Because we just found an actual one." Chizuru said.

"…Are you serious?!" Cindy said excitedly.

"Yes, I am. Can you four come over at 7:30 tonight? By that time, I would have dinner ready for you. Oh, and bring that language learner device which Martin invented that Eiko told me about, okay?" Chizuru asked.

"You got it!" Cindy said before hanging up.

Chizuru sighed. "Well, I better make dinner for everybody that's going to come. Knowing Ika-chan, she'll most likely invite Kiyomi over to see our new friend as well."

At Cindy's lab, the four scientists were eagerly awaiting the time to go over to the Aizawa's.

"Our dreams will finally be fulfilled!" Harris exclaimed.

"We will finally make contact with an alien species!" Clark said excitedly.

"I better make sure that my language learner device is fully functioning!" Martin said.

"Hold on," Cindy said "Chizuru just sent me a picture of the alien. Let's take a look!"

The Three Stooges crowded around Cindy as she opened the picture. When it finally opened, the four gasped, and then got even more excited.

"Kiyomi, you're here, de geso!" Ika Musume said excitedly as she opened the front door to allow her best friend in.

"I heard you made a new friend. Where is she?" Kiyomi asked.

"Upstairs, playing SF4 against Eiko, geso." Ika Musume said as she led Kiyomi upstairs. "She's only ben playing it for ten minutes, but she's already as good as you, de geso!"

"Really? Maybe she's played other fighting games before?" Kiyomi wondered.

"Not likely. From how she acted earlier, I'd say that today is the first time she's ever played a video game, de geso." Ika Musume said.

"Eh?!" Kiyomi asked as she walked into Eiko's rom, only to gape at the sight before her.

Eiko was playing and losing to a girl who was clearly an alien, as the character the alien girl was playing as hadn't taken any damage yet. Not to mention that the alien girl's controller was glowing blue as the buttons and analog stick moved by themselves, no doubt caused by the blue glow. Seeing this, Kiyomi grinned.

"Finally, a worthy opponent!" Kiyomi said, making herself known to Eiko and the alien girl right as said alien won another match.

"Oh, hey, Kiyomi!" Eiko said as the alien looked at Kiyomi curiously. "Think you can beat her?" Eiko asked as she pointed at the alien.

"Let's find out." Kiyomi said as she took Eiko's spot and started another match.

To Kiyomi's surprise and excitement, the alien girl was able to keep up with her every move, as neither of their characters were able to land a hit on each other. The match timed out, resulting in a draw. Despite the draw, Kiyomi was grinning from ear to ear; she hasn't had such a good opponent in years!

By then, the time was 7:25 P.M., and the doorbell rang, which Chizuru answered since she just finished making dinner for everybody. Opening the door, she was greeted to the sight of the Three Stooges wearing their usual lab coats, and Cindy wearing normal clothes and, surprisingly, glasses.

"What's with the glasses, Cindy?" Chizuru asked.

"Oh, I usually wear contacts." Cindy said.

"Oh, well, come on in. Dinner's ready!" Chizuru opened the door further to allow the four in just as Kiyomi, Eiko, Ika Musume, and, to their shock and absolute delight, the alien girl walked down the stairs, or in the alien girl's case, floated down the stairs.
