Author's Notes
Hello everybody! For once, this is not Rosie Fierra; instead it is I, Sapphire Mists who will do this prologue.
Previously, I had just finished Aftermath, the story that tells about Rosie's life over the past year or so.
Her brothers and sisters are a year old now. They walk, talk, cry, you know, all those things that toddlers like to do. The best thing about them is their personalities for they are all individuals now.
Rose and John, her parents, are still in love and they always kindle the flame. It seems as if a divorce or separation is never in their thoughts. They never fight or even argue for that matter. In other words, it's the perfect marriage.
Rika and Rosie are very close friends. They talk constantly, even though I may not mention it that often. They come to each other when they have those feminine questions of theirs.
CJ and Rosie, are young lovebirds. Rosie and CJ really love and care for each other despite their young ages. People in my stories get married quickly or just when it seems as if the time is right. CJ never pressures Rosie, nor does she pressure him. They have had a few arguments here and there but who cares? It's a normal part of a relationship. Or so I believe it to be, for nobody can ever have a disagreement unless you are the perfect couple.
In a way, Skyler and Casey are the same way. But their relationship is in a more intimate way. They live together in a rustic apartment building on Neptune in Avalon. It's very quaint in there and the pair gets along with each other great.
Hannah and Josh are also in love. They love each other very much. Hannah has really melded Josh into a man that will fit her needs. His evil side no longer exists and he no longer has an infatuation with Rosie. He is much caring to his pokemon too. Hannah is still the same sweet pokemon trainer who has a gentle disposition. I truly believe that she deserved to win the Championships. Her character is the key to her success.
I know that I haven't mention Chase and Johanna in a while, but they aren't very important. Chase is busy in school and Johanna has been working for a long time. Remember though, school is out in the summer so there may be a few surprises.
Ah, now I'm up to the pokemon! As you know, Ellie and Rosie are extremely attached to each other. The two do almost everything together and sometimes it seems as if Ellie the Aipom is a human. But if best friends have to be humans then I guess that Ellie is one in Rosie's eyes.
Dew is attached to Rosie as well. After all, he does consider her to be his mother. Dew has made a major transition since he evolved however. He is no longer a baby, now he is more of a child about Chase's age. He likes to stay in his crystal ball at times and that leather pouch is no longer necessary.
OK, I am almost finished babbling.
I want to name some improvements in this story that wasn't in the others. This fanfiction is going to be much more descriptive than the last, there is going to be a lot more action and less fluffy stuff, Rosie's going to have to face a lot more problems also.
Now that I've gotten these things out of my head, let's get on with Under the Sea: The Avalon Adventures!
Chapter One
A cool breeze from the ocean wafts over all of us as we look at the glass elevator that goes up and down a hard plastic tunnel. My hair is lifted off of my shoulders as it is blown back.
I glance at my best friend, Rika, and then to my boyfriend CJ. They return my glance with a look of uneasiness. I finally look at my first pokemon, Ellie, and she scratches her ear in nervousness. Dew just looks on at the water, as if he wants to swim in there. Maybe I'll let him sooner or later, first we have to strike up the courage to get on that elevator.
Come on Mom, let's go! Dew cries impatiently as he taps me with his spherical teal blue tail.
"You're right Dew! What are we standing around for?" I ask, for now I am filled with a sudden feeling of courage after Dew's encouragement.
As if my traveling companions were hypnotized they snap out of their daze and perk up from their once dismal state.
"I'm ready!" They say as they clench their fists.
"Well come on." I say and then we stride over to the elevator as if we were doing something drastic.
CJ reaches over and pushes a small black button that soon lights up. It has an arrow on it that points down so it will surely get us down to Meridian Village in no time.
About twenty seconds later, the elevator rises from the abyss below and rings to get our attention.
We walk into the elevator and branch out to different corners of it. There are glass windows that look out at the ocean and all the things that go with it.
With a jolt, the elevator slowly ascends down into the water.
Ellie and Dew's faces are pressed against the windows as they look at the sea. Rika, CJ, and I decide to follow suit and we do the same thing.
It's wonderful down here! I can see Dewgong and other water pokemon going about their normal lives. Some of the younger pokemon swim right up to the elevator and press their snouts to the glass. I reach out and touch the glass and they smile and swim away.
Then, we look out at the weird plastic dome that the entire city is enclosed by. It is truly spectacular down there! There are skyscrapers with pale lights glowing on top of them as well as other uniquely designed buildings.
I can see streets and houses there too. They look somewhat normal but after all, it is about a mile below us.
OK, OK, I know that it may seem weird but people can survive underwater. Of course they don't breathe water, it's just that the water is sucked out and replaced with a mix of vital gases. The pressure doesn't really exist down here. You're probably like this is impossible but after all, this is the pokemon world, and anything is possible here! ^-^!
"Wow!" Rika says as she looks at the city.
"It's amazing down there!" CJ exclaims as his blue eyes scan the area.
Our little trip comes to an end five minutes later and with a small thump, we touch the stone landing on the sea floor. The doors open and we cautiously step out of the elevator.
When our feet touch cement, we look all around us. It's not as weird as we thought! There are normal houses and everything and the streets seem normal. The Avalon-style of the designs of buildings is very different but it has an advanced appeal to it.
The air that we breathe seems much cleaner. There must be a treatment plant or something. I really like it though.
A short young woman with her hair in a bun walks up to us with a smile plastered onto her round face.
"Hello, I'm Jackie and welcome to Meridian Village!" She says as she extends her hand.
We all shake her hand and tell her who we are.
"So are any of you pokemon trainers?" She asks.
I step up and say, "I'm a pokemon trainer."
Jackie smiles and asks, "are you interested in joining the Avalon League?"
"That's the reason why we're here." Rika tells her.
"That's great! So you must be in need of directions to the pokemon center." She asks.
"Exactly!" CJ tells her.
"Alright-y then. First, you have to go down this road, which is called Beginning Street. After three blocks, make a right onto Galley Avenue and you'll see a pokemon center with a large blue P on the roof. It also has a few Horsea painted on to it." She explains.
I take a moment and memorize this. I really don't want to get lost in my first fifteen minutes her.
"Thank you." I say and we say our goodbyes before we set off down the gently sloping road.
"The people here are really nice." Rika says as we walk down the road.
"I agree." I say.
To my right are a few houses with nice green lawns on them with lanterns that poke out from the earth. There are a lot of white picket fences that add to the appeal of the houses.
I smile as I look at them in amazement.
When we turn onto Galley Avenue I get the impression that this is one of the more busy streets of Meridian. There are a few cars here and there and I can see a lot of specialty stores.
I guess that I would say that the people like fresh foods better than frozen and whatnot, because there are bakeries, butcher shops, creameries, and there are places with a few places with carts full of different produce.
The wonderful scent of fresh baked bread fills our nostrils as we walk to the pokemon center that is just twenty feet or so away from us. My mouth waters and I have an urge to run and by a loaf of bread but I restrain myself from doing so.
The pokemon center is a large facility that is painted with a shade of sky blue. Up near the top is a large blue P with beautifully drawn Horsea gathered around the P. There are many windows on it also.
CJ opens the pair of double doors for us ladies and then we walk through the doors and into the lobby where I can see at least three pokemon trainers sitting on the large blue couches reading magazines.
We walk right up to the long marble desk where a beautiful Nurse Joy with a blue and white version of the normal outfits that the nurses usually where. I get the picture that blue is a major color in this country.
"Welcome to the Meridian Pokemon Center, how may I help you." She asks cheerfully.
"I'm Rosie Fierra and I would like to register for the Avalon League." I say.
"Wow, another pokemon trainer!" She exclaims as she stoops down to grab a clipboard.
"You mean that a lot more pokemon trainers who came here." I ask her as I lean onto the smooth counter.
"Oh yes, today is the day that Professor Willow gives out some water pokemon to upcoming trainers." She explains as she hands me the clipboard along with a clear pen filled with blue ink.
I fill the sheet with all the required information such as my name, hometown, age, experience, and information of that nature.
After I'm finished, Nurse Joy takes the sheet and places it into a machine.
"It's Rosie, right." She asks.
"Yes." I reply.
"It would really help if you take a trip to the Professor's lab. He'll give you an upgrade and the official registration. After that, you should come back here and I'll give you your identification card." She explains.
"I will, just tell me where it is." I ask her with a smile.
"It's right behind the center. I would like it if you let me give your pokemon an official examination; I'll be finished by the time you get back." She says.
I take out my crystal balls and hand her Ellie and Dew along with them.
Bye Rosie! Ellie says with a wave.
See you later Mom! Dew cries as he jumps into the air.
"You all better behave!" I say and then my friends and I walk out of the pokemon center.
"This is so cool!" Rika says as she lashes a few pictures.
"I know! It's amazing down here! I can't wait to see how tough the pokemon are!" I exclaim as we walk to the large establishment in front of us.
This must be the lab. I have to admit it's much smaller than Palmetto's but I guess that he studies different subjects than Palmetto. There are a few willow trees in the front lawn along with a few spotlights that flash on the brick building.
We walk in the building and follow a few whit signs that direct us to the main lab where the Professor must be located.
A young girl with sea green hair walks out with a shiny blue crystal ball. She clutches it to her chest and she seems to have a dreamy look in her eyes. She must be really happy about the pokemon that she must've received.
Once we pass her we walk into a large room full of aquariums filled with dozens of water pokemon. There are long metal counters and many computers and other gadgets to the right side of the lab.
A tall man with orange hair and pale blue eyes that sparkle in the light. He looks quite young and he has a thin mustache on his upper lip. He's wearing a white lab coat along with a pair of faded blue jeans.
He perks up when we walk into the room.
"Hello, I'm Professor Willow, who are you?" He asks.
"My name is Rosie."
"I'm Rika!"
"I'm CJ."
"And we're from the Flower Archipelago. I came here to get my pokedex upgraded and to get officially registered." I tell him.
"I'll need your pokedex young lady." He says with a smile.
I reach into my teal backpack and pull out the cobalt blue pokedex that Palmetto gave me on my first day as a pokemon trainer.
Willow grabs it and places it into a machine with a large screen on it. He types in a few keys and then my picture comes up. He types once more and then he stops.
"Would you like a color change?" He asks.
"Sure! I'll take a blue violet pokedex please." I tell him.
He punches in a few more keys and I hear a loud whizzing sound as the cover is removed and replaced with a much newer cover. Two minutes later, he hands me my new pokedex full of so much more information than the last.
I open the pokedex and it says that it is Dexter and that he will be my companion on my journeys. Satisfied with the results, I place it back into my backpack and sling the backpack over my shoulder.
"Thank you Sir." I say as I give him a handshake.
"You're welcome. Feel free to call the lab if you have any questions about water pokemon." He says and then we leave his lab and take a trip back to center.
***
"Hey you two, are you hungry?" I ask my pokemon as we sit down at the Pokecafe in the pokemon center.
Uh huh! They say.
I release all of my pokemon that are in my care at the present moment. Vanilla, Lizzie, Sparky, and Crimson all come out of their crystal balls. They cheer at the fact that they're in a new environment.
"Fruits or veggies?" CJ asks them.
Fruits! Vanilla, Dew, and Crimson cry.
Vegetables! Sparky, Lizzie, and Ellie say.
CJ digs out some of the food that we prepared last night before we left. The pokemon food is shaped in triangles and is about five inches on each side.
The pokemon hold their foods and munch on it.
Yum! Dew cries as he wolfs down his food.
All the other pokemon like their food and then us humans buy some turkey sandwiches.
After we fulfill our hunger, I return my pokemon to their crystal balls. Then we get up and walk out of the Pokecafe.
"What do you want to do now?" I ask my pals as we walk out of the center and onto Galley Avenue.
"Let's just walk around the village." CJ suggests.
"I guess that we can do that." I say and Rika agrees soon after I do.
So we stroll around the city until all of a sudden, the next thing that I know is that we're all on the ground kicking and screaming.
Two dark figures appear with black and red outfits with a big red R on the chest area. There are sick smiles on their faces and I can hear a feminine giggle coming from one of the figures.
"That was almost too easy Randy." She says in a low tone.
"You're right Amber." Randy agrees.
"Who are you?" I cry as I struggle to get out of the nets but I come to no avail.
How could this be happening to us? We've never gotten mugged before, except with Josh but he never mugged us. It was always someone else who had gotten mugged.
"We're called Team Rocket and we're taking that Aipom and Marril away from you!" Amber says coolly.
"Never!" Rika cries as she sends out her two pokemon.
Devon and Lassie wait patiently for their master's orders.
"Hey, more pokemon to steal!" Randy points out as he takes out some sort of gun. It is a silver color and has one log barrel in which the weapon comes out of.
"Devon, use a scratch attack to free us from the net!" Rika tells him.
OK! Devon cries as his crescent moon glows as well as his extended claws. A few seconds later he shreds the net into pieces and waits for more orders.
Randy shoots the gun. It makes a quiet sound, almost like a tranquilizer gun. Devon falls to the ground clutching his neck.
"Devon!" She cries as she rushes to her wounded pokemon's side. She shakes him but he doesn't move. But he is still alive because I can see a gentle rise and fall of his furry chest when he breathes.
"You're going to pay!" Rika says with ferocity that I thought was unknown to her. She clenches her fists.
"Lassie, torch those fools!" She says as she jumps on her devoted dog's back.
Lassie roars and shoots out a massive fireball at the team. It had to be at least ten feet in diameter! The flames scorch the duo and they fall to the ground.
Somehow, Randy gets a lucky shot in and Lassie falls down from the effects of the tranquilizer.
"No!" Rika cries as she blindly rushes at the enemies.
CJ and I look at each other and nod our heads. We sneak behind our opponents and with our hands, we chop their necks in a certain place that leaves them unconscious.
"I'll go call the police!" CJ says as he runs to a nearby payphone at the corner of the block.
I run to my pokemon to check and see if they were all right, but it turns out that they had gotten shot also so they are unconscious. I weep as I clutch them in my arms hoping that they will be okay.
"Oh Lassie." Rika says as she rubs her fallen pokemon.
A few minutes later, an Officer Jenny and a team of other officers arrest the criminals. Then, after some brief questioning, they escort all of us back to the pokemon center for the pokemon to be healed.
"Will the pokemon be all right?" I plead with Joy as I shake her arm.
"They'll be find. A good night's rest should cure them but-." Nurse Joy says but then her eyes trail off.
"But what?" Rika demands.
"They were filled with an extremely high dose of tranquilizer that could have possibly killed them if they hadn't gotten here on time." She says.
"What?" I ask. It seems as if I'm falling off a cliff that never ends. My brain is screaming but my mind isn't. A part if me is glad that I got them there on time but another part of me is still worried.
"When will they heal?" Rika asks her.
"In order to be safe, you should stay here for at least a week." Joy says.
"Fine! As long as my pokemon is going to be all right I'll stay as long as it takes!" I exclaim.
"It would be a great idea is you all went to sleep." Joy says.
We obediently follow her directions and go into one of the small rooms upstairs that has two beds in it. There is a small bathroom that is connected to the room too.
I slip on a pair of new pajamas; a pair of pink pajama bottoms with Jigglypuff on the along with a pink tank top.
We all get into the bed but everyone except CJ and I fall asleep.
"I hope that my friends will be all right." I say to CJ, who was sitting upright on his bed.
"I do too." He says.
"Why would they want to attack us CJ?" I ask him and then I look into his eyes through the darkness of the room. For some odd reason, I can always see his eyes even when it is pitch black. I don't know exactly why but I just can.
"I really don't know Rosie. All we can do is wait." He says.
I climb into his bed and snuggle up closely to him.
"Hold me." I say and CJ wraps his strong arms around my body. For some odd reason, I fell asleep almost immediately after that.
***
My head throbs as I watch my fallen pokemon sleeping in the mini stretchers that belongs to the center. She has an IV needle stuck in her elbow, as does all the other pokemon that had gotten shot.
I walk into the room and pull up a chair beside my pokemon. Dew had a look of discomfort on his face and Ellie looked like she hadn't slept in days; she was so quiet.
I place my hand in their hands and stay there with them like that for about twenty minutes. During that time I might whisper to them about how much I care for them how much I hope that I would've gotten shot instead of them.
Nurse Joy quietly walks in the room and places her hand on my shoulder. I turn my head to look her into her eyes.
"Why don't you go outside? I have to give them some food and some more medicine." She says.
I sigh and do as I was told. I walk into the large lobby and plop myself on the couch where a whole bunch of other trainers were. I feel a few stares from some of them, mainly the fourteen-year-olds.
This one boy with short red hair and brown eyes pats me on the shoulder.
"You're a pokemon trainer right?" He asks.
Here we go again. I just don't feel like battling right now, not while my pokemon are injured. Does anyone really think that I want more of them to get hurt? If they do then they are terribly mistaken.
"Yeah." I say dryly.
"Well would you like to have a battle?" He asks.
"Not really?" I say.
His face contorts into a slight frown.
"Then what kind of trainer are you?" He asks angrily.
This sets me off and I stare at him with a piercing gaze and tight lips. My teal eyes that normally looks so gentle now glow with an invincible rage.
"How old are you kid?" I ask him while I slowly calm myself down.
"I'm fourteen and I want to test out my new Corsola." He says.
A Corsola! I would love to have used Dew for this match but he isn't here with me.
"I really don't want to hurt your pokemon, but if you wish it. How about a one on one pokemon battle and I'll choose a fire type so that you'll have an advantage." I say as I rise from my seat.
"You don't stand a chance but I agree." He says.
I smile at his arrogance. That brat doesn't even know what he's getting into. Crimson is a wisely trained Vulpix that knows just what to do to get on a water pokemon's bad side. If you know what I mean.
We walk outside the center and out into the street. We walk about thirty feet away from each other and then we wait for a pokemon to be chosen.
"Go Corsola!" The boy yells, I didn't even bother to get his name.
"Come on out Crimson!" I say.
*~*
"Leave it to a girl to choose a cute pokemon." The boy says.
I glare at him as well as the Corsola that is supposedly going to be my contender for this match.
"He may be handsome but my Vulpix is not a force to be reckoned with!" Rosie says nonchalantly.
I love Rosie's coolness, even in tough matches. She always seems to know just what to do to win the match, well sometimes. She occasionally slips up here and then but who cares, I love her nonetheless.
"Use a tackle attack Corsola."
Corsola lets out a high pitched shrill and hops from place to place in an attempt to confuse me. I stand there and keep my cool until it actually hits me. I get thrown to the ground but I get right back up for it didn't hurt too much.
"Scare it with a roar attack!" Rosie says.
I leap back and bare my teeth. Then, with a huge breath of air, I let out a ferocious roar that sends Corsola weeping to her master. She tugs his pant's leg but he looks down at her.
"You can beat him Corsola, I know that you can!" He pleads with her.
"Oh all right." Corsola says as she goes back on the battlefield.
"That-a girl! Use a bubble attack!" He says.
"Use a fire blast!" Rosie says.
Corsola opens her tiny mouth and shoot out twenty bubbles. I can see the determination that she has. She really wants to win for her master and I don't want to disappoint her.
I shot an off center fireball that just misses the pokemon and the bubbles hit me full force. I fall to the floor in defeat but as you know I'm not really defeated.
"You're the best Corsola!" The boy cheers as he lifts pokemon high into the air.
"I guess that you did." Rosie says as she scoops me into her arms.
***
"Crimson." I say to my pokemon after the boy walks away, joyfully praising his pokemon.
Yes Rosie? He asks.
"You did that on purpose didn't you?" I ask him with a sideways look.
Yeah! He admits happily.
"Why?" I ask him.
You should've seen how much the Corsola wanted to win for her trainer. I didn't want to make her lose her pride as well as the master's. He says.
It made perfect sense. If Crimson had won the match, it probably would have broken the spirit of both of the beings. He wanted to keep them happy so he willfully lost the battle. He's such a caring pokemon.
"I understand Crimson, return." I say as he goes back into his pokemon with a jubilant smile at his good deed.
***
The red light above the white door of the operating room fades out and the doors burst open.
Ellie and Dew leap into my arms with huge smile plastered on their faces.
I twirl them round and round with yet another huge smile on my face. I'm so happy that they're all right!
"I'm so glad that you're here! It's been lonely here without you two on my shoulder!" I cry.
Rika and her pokemon are caressing each other and basically doing the same things that I am doing. Nurse Joy and CJ stand of to the side with satisfied smiles on their faces.
After we reacquaint ourselves with each other we leave the pokemon center.
"The map says that there is a large island full of all sorts of pokemon." CJ says.
"Let's go there!" Rika says.
"I haven't caught a new pokemon in over a year. I need the practice!" I say with a determined look on my face as we walk back to the elevator that leads up to the dock above.
Meridian is a very beautiful village. Beside me lamenting over the week that our pokemon were hospitalized, I did a lot of sightseeing. There are so many things to do there. CJ even took us to the movies to see a cool movie called "Out Cold." It was pretty funny too.
So we hop on the elevator, that leads to another new adventure. An adventure that might possibly get me some other friends!
