Okay but speaking of Dick having a Magikarp, I’m now obsessed with the idea of his Magikarp not having evolved by the time the Teen Titans start up.

So, yeah, maybe Dick’s a little jealous of Wally and his Jolteon or Garth and his Starmie. Maybe he’s a little sad that Magikarp doesn’t show him much affection like Donna’s Emolga does. Maybe he’s a little frustrated that he can’t even leave Magikarp in the open water without worrying that Magikarp is going to randomly start jumping around and get snatched up by a Pidgeotto.

But Bruce gave him Magikarp because he believed in him dammit. He believed that Dick had what it took to help Magikarp evolve into Gyarados, and Dick does! He does, he does, he does! He’s not going to disappoint Bruce. He’s not going to give up on his floppy friend who no longer fits in Bruce’s bathtub. He’s going to keep working with Magikarp until he evolves! Dick tells himself this constantly, strengthening his resolve.

And then the unexpected happens…

The Teen Titans HQ is attacked. The Titans and their Pokemon jump into action. Well, all of the Pokemon except Magikarp who’s swimming around in the river next to the HQ.

The roof of the HQ gets blasted to bits. Donna and Emolga take to the sky. The other Titans run outside to help and a battle ensues. Garth gets surrounded and Dick jumps in to help him. He sees a blast meant for Garth and he pushes Garth out of the way. The impact of the attack sends Dick sprawling through the air and into the river with an almighty splash.

The churning water tosses him around in its cold depths. Arms aching, Dick scrambles to swim back towards the bank. He reaches out to snag a rock but misses when an all-consuming light fills his vision, making it impossible for him to see. He falls further and further until something snags his cape, and Dick chokes at the sudden pressure around his neck. It makes it harder to breathe and Dick panics. His hands instinctively reach up to try and alleviate the tension, but before he can even try and unclasp his cape, he’s being yanked out of the water and back into open air.

He sputters and chokes until he’s dropped on solid ground like a wet blanket. Without warning, a loud, guttural growl cuts through the air, causing goosebumps to ripple across Dick’s skin.

What the fuck was that, he wonders as he instinctively rolls out of the way to protect himself from whatever threat is behind him. He looks up at where the sound came from, and when his eyes lock on the dragon-like face above him, he swears his heart stops beating for a moment.

“Magikarp?” he mouths to himself in disbelief.

Magikarp—no—Gyarados spares Dick a look as if making sure he’s okay before he lets out another angry roar and turns towards Dick’s attackers with a ball of light already forming in his mouth.
