"Lucy Lu, where my girl drew? Cameron d and Destiny, Charlie's Angels come on -" The headphones blasted the song "Independent Women" in my ears as I was studding for a Pokemon Exam on the resistance and weakness.
"Phil, are you busy or do you want to do the next Gym battle?" Blaine came in, looking through his bankbook. "You can use my Arcanine if you want."
"Sure!" I threw down my pencil, closed my book and took off my headphones. Blaine handed me his Arcanine's pokeball and I walked out of the little house, which was at the foot of Cinnabar Volcano. It was bright outside, as always. I walked into the gym and stepped down to the arena. It wasn't long until some people came into the gym.

"Wow this is a nice gym, it is so interesting, being in a volcano and all," A girl in a shirt with a picture of a Pokeball on it, and jeans said to a guy about the same height, wearing a black shirt and jeans.
"Welcome to the Cinnabar City Gym!" I yelled across the room waving franticly. "I will be your Gym Leader for today!"

"Well Uncle, it is time," I said while picking up my bags. "I am leaving to collect the rest of the badges I need to get into the league."
"Well, I am proud," Blaine playfully punched my shoulder. "You better go for the gold Phil, I know you can make it." Blaine tilted his glasses forward to get a look at me. "Grade A Pokemon Master!" He chuckled and punched me again.
"Take good care of Rex, please?" I asked
"Don't worry! Rex is perfectly safe," Blaine looked at Rex's Pokeball. "Good luck, I'm going to miss you," Blaine tilted his glasses forward again, snorted, played with his mustache and walked into the gym.

"Phil!" Jenn waved over to me through the little kids training their Rattatas and Pidgeys.
"Phil!" Daven followed.
"Hey, Jenn, Daven, What are you two doing here?" I waved back to them. "Long time no see!"

***

After meeting up with Jenn and Daven again, we have been through a lot. The battle at the Vermilion City Gym, Getting slapped by a Wigglytuff, My Houndoom tearing a piece of Kyle's underwear off, Nobreifs and Kyle stealing Jenn and Daven's Pokemon, the fight with Kyle and Nobreifs, the hospital, Angel's evil ways. I don't know why I had to leave, I just felt it, and it was probably destiny. But I'd rather be where my family is, in Cinnibar. The good old times in Cinnibar, the sun was always shinning; it was perfect tanning weather all the time. All the people were merry, no one was sad. The gym was my home. Oh, I really did miss the gym, and my Pokemon! That's why I really want to go back! I can remember my little Vulpix, Rex, trying to use ember on my leg. I hope he is all right.

I ran up to the doc where all the ferries were, and I checked the schedule. After reading it over and over, I freaked out, backed up and bumped into a girl. She was about the same height as me, 5'10. She had sky blue hair; with the weirdest looking hat I've ever seen. She wore a short top and a very skimpy shirt; it was so skimpy I almost told her to pull it down a bit.

"What the hell?! Watch where your going!" this girl screamed while pushing me. "You're invading my bubble!"
"Oh, excuse me," I shyly said. "I was.."
"PHIL!?" this girl yelled. "Phil, nephew of Blaine!"
"Yeah," I walked pass her and headed for the Pokemon Center.

"I... I'm Dy. I Live in Celadon. I use to be a trainer in Erika's gym!"
She bragged while I was ignoring every word. I wasn't in the mood for talking now. I read that sign. The volcano on Cinnibar exploded. I cannot believe it, it's an error. It has to be! "Uh, Dy, is it?" I replied.
"Yuppers!" she cheerfully said.
"Is it true, that Cinnabar's volcano erupted?" I lowered my head a bit.
"Yes, sadly. It was a nice little town, but now it's all covered with molten lava." Dy stopped at the look on my face. I was about to cry, but I was just holding it in, well, trying to. "Aww honey let it out, it's ok"

I was silent. I couldn't believe it. Is Blaine ok? I cannot have him die; he is the only family I have. My mom and dad died a long time ago; a mysterious Pokemon that hung around the shores of Cinnibar killed them. My grandparents died before I was born, and my mother was an only child and my dad's brother was Blaine, who has no children.

"No, nothing is wrong, just a little shookin up," I looked ahead and started to run.
"Where are you going?" Dy yelled.
"To the Pokemon Center, wanna come?" I yelled back.
"Sure... but I can't run in these heals!"

***

"Your Pokemon are healed!" Nurse Joy said, bowed and handed me my Pokemon. Her Chansey jumped up and down and waved goodbye to me.
"Might as well let them out," I said. "Pokemon, I choose you!" I threw out three of my Pokeballs. "Let me introduce you to my Pokemon!"
"Ok!" Dy said while adjusting her hat.

"Here is Snorlax!" I pointed to the big Pokemon; it let out a huge snore and fell asleep. "Bellossom, who I don't use as a battling Pokemon," Bellossom started to dance around chanting her name. "Houndoom!" I had to tie Houndoom up just incase a Meowth comes by.
"Wow! They are so cool!" Dy got up and petted my Bellossom.
"And... My pride and joy..." I got out my Pink and White pokeball, with a little diamond stud in the middle of the ball. "Princess... go!" I threw the ball and Princess appeared. It barked and ran up to me and started to lick my face. "Aww you ate the Pink Bow!" I laughed and Dy gave me a strange look.
"Nine!" Princess exclaimed.

"You are lucky! You have a lot of good Pokemon, but, it's ok!" Dy got up, and took off her necklace. She took out the Pokeball and enlarged it. "Meowth! I choose you!" She threw the ball, landing near Houndoom. Before the pokeball opened up, Princess ran towards the pokeball, grabbed it with her mouth and scampered over to me.
"AHH! SHE IS GOING TO EAT MEOWTH!" Dy freaked out; she started to shake me franticly! "GET IT OUT GET IT OUT!" As this was happening, Houndoom's ears perked up.

"Ok! Stop shaking me first!" she stopped. "Now Princess. Drop it," she didn't do anything. "Drop it," I said in a firm voice. "Princess. Bad Ninetales, not drop it!" I grabbed the Pokeball trying to pull it out. "Drop it..." I said once more, then thinking this wouldn't work. I said in a whisper "What are those on your bum?!" Princess freaked out, dropped the ball, and started to chase her tails! Dy then quickly grabbed her ball, and called out Meowth!

"This is my," she stopped. "OH MY GOD HOUNDOOM IS GOING TO EAT MEOWTH!"
Houndoom tired to chase after Dy's Meowth, Meowth was throwing coins at it, making Houndoom more pissed off. I looked in my backpack and pulled out the muzzle.

"Here Houndoom, I thought I could trust you, but I guess I can't." I put the muzzle on him and noticed a piece of Pikachu underwear in his teeth. "Haha! I remember this, that dumbass." I chuckled and I smelt the piece of fabric. "Oh Jesus!" I screamed and threw it to the ground.
"Did I miss anything here?" Dy said while hugging her Meowth.

"No, no," I said. "Where can we go?" I asked."
"Well, I heard that there was a new gym opening up in Chateau City," Dy said. "I heard that that place is where all the rich people gather!"
"Well, lets go! It will be fun to see all the snobby rich dudes!" I called my Pokemon back, except for Ninetales and Dy's Meowth jumped on her head and we walked down the street to the bullet train, to get to Chateau City!

The bullet train ride didn't take long, only about 15 minutes. That's because Chateau isn't far from Pallet Doc's. Dy told me about herself, every little detail. She has 18 pairs of "panties" 14 pairs of shoes, not including runners. She lived in Celadon all her life, all 16 years of it. She has had no boyfriends and has been stood up a lot. I hope she wasn't hinting around, because she isn't my type.

We got to the boarder of Chateau City, which was really scary because there was all these French people, I'm not saying that French people are scary, it's just I didn't know what to say. I took Spanish instead of French, and I didn't want to make a complete idiot of myself. I walked up to the officer who was in charge to ask where the Gym was.
"Uh... bounjour mes ames, je comme ci comme sa, erm... bon bon! Tu age as tu?" I mumbled, and Dy giggled.
"Umm... I speak English, you ijiot!" The officer snarled. "Vood you like to knowd where zee Pokemon gym is?"
"Yes," Dy yelled, "We vood like to knowd where zee Pokemon gym is!" she mocked.
"Snooty ittle Celadonians!" The guy whispered to himself. "Zee Gym is in de city, near zee fountain du e'au."
"Let's go!" Dy yelled. She ran in front of me, grabbed my sleeve and dragged me into the city.
