~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was a bright and sunny day for Kelly today. She walked around with her two friends who decided to help out at her farm. MARILL farm, that is.

Her two friends were Monica and Jeremy. They loved to help take care of Kelly's Pokémon. She only had Marill. Both of them had a Marill, since Kelly had enough of them to worry about anyway.

Right now, Jeremy was trying to get one of the female Marill, Emerald, to take a bath. (Even though they are water types...) He had no choice but to tackle her.

"YYYYEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!" he shouted, throwing himself on top of the young mouse.

Unfortunately for him, Emerald was one of the most slippery Marill at Kelly's farm. She slipped right out of Jeremy's grip.

He looked at both of his empty hands, and then decided that he had had enough. He yanked out a Great ball. "Let's go, Pichu!" he threw it into the air, and it burst open after a few seconds. The white light formed his tiny mouse Pokémon, who was all happy just to be out of her ball.

"Pichu pi!" her cheeks lighted up as she smiled.

"Alright, Pichu!" Jeremy started, "Get Emerald to take her bath! Thundershock!"

Just as Pichu was about to launch her electrical attack, Kelly came running up. "No, you can't, Jeremy!" she picked the little Pichu up.

"Why not?" Jeremy asked, confused.

"Because she's barely a week old. That's why. You could've serioulsy injured her."

Jeremy stood there with his jaw dropped. "Are you serious? How can you TELL?"

Monica walked up by then, her gold tail-tipped Eevee perched on her shoulder. "Well, Jeremy. They ARE Kelly's Pokémon anyway, so maybe that's why she knows."

Eevee sqweaked.

Pichu gave a cute smile to her trainer while still in Kelly's arms.

Kelly handed Pichu back to Jeremy. "Just don't electricute all of my Marill, alright?"

Jeremy nodded.

Kelly patted his cheek, and then went over to pick Emerald up. (She was nicknamed Emerald because of her odd greenish color, instead of blue.)

Monica grinned at Jeremy very big, and then went over to finish her job of making sure Waterball got his bath too.

Jeremy glared at her, and then looked down at his young Pichu. She was asleep in his arms.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The following day, Kelly went out to train a few of her older Marill so that they could easily win a battle if needed to. Also, if a trainer came by, and wanted to claim one of her little Marill, they would have to battle her for it. (She only trained them in case they wanted to battle the MARILL, otherwise, she would use her regular Pokémon.)

Kelly took out one of her Lure balls, which most of the Marill were caught in, and threw it forward. It opened up, and revealed a young, slightly red at the tip of the tail, Marill.

"Rill!" it cried in a high tone.

"Ya ready, Ruby?" Kelly asked the male Marill.

Ruby nodded his head, which made his ears bounce.

"Okay then. Let's work on some type advantages, okay?" Kelly asked her Pokémon.

Ruby nodded again, but not as hard as the first time.

"Alright then." Kelly said, taking out a Poké ball. "Go! Houndoom!" she threw it into the air, and it opened up, releasing her dog Pokémon.

"Doom!" Houndoom cried, searching for his opponent with his bright purple eyes.

"Okay, Houndoom. I'll be on Marill's side this time, so you just start with level one, alright?" asked Kelly to her Pokémon.

Houndoom nodded, and stood still, waiting for Kelly to command her Marill.

"Okay, Ruby. Let's go with a Bubblebeam on him, since it's what Houndoom's weak against. Ready? Go!"

Ruby sucked a big breath in, and then sent out a bunch of bubbles in Houndoom's direction.

Houndoom stood still, awaiting to be struck by the attack. He knew that Ruby would learn if he got his master's command to be completed.

The bubbles hit their target, and even though Houndoom was not hurt all that bad, he pretended to be seriously injured. He stumbled around for a long time, and then fell to the ground with his tongue hanging out.

Ruby cheered for himself, and hopped around, sqweaking. (He was still such a young Pokémon, but he was old enough to battle now.)

"Yayy, Ruby!" Kelly cheered for her Pokémon. She was going to start Marill off with accuracy later. Right now, she was happy that her Marill was happy. Ruby always loved it when he won, because his master would always praise him.

Kelly picked her little champion up, put him on her shoulders, and then called Houndoom back to his Poké ball. She strode away with her happy, cheering Marill.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

While Kelly was walking around, watching her young Marill play with each other in the big area of grass she made sure they stayed in, Jeremy walked up and nformed her that there was another new egg that she received.

Kelly smiled at him, but she had full doubt that it was going to be an Azurill. She sighed, and Jeremy sighed back, not knowing what to do next.

Later, two trainers walked by Kelly's Marill farm. They were both girls. They asked if they could see the Marill.

Kelly led them to where they were all playing together, rolling around on top of each other, and having a real GREAT time. "Some of them are too young to be taken away, and some of them are too much of good friends to be seperated from each other." Kelly informed the two girls.

They understood, but asked Kelly what she was telling them.

"Well," she started, "you'll have to take two of my Marill that are the best of friends. They're all friends anyway. And since you two are hanging out with each other, your Marill could do that too, if you know what I mean. You do both want one, am I right?"

"Oh yes. They're so sweet!" one of the girls cooed.

The other one just nodded shyly without saying anything. She was looking at Jeremy.

"Alright. Follow me." Kelly said to the both of them, leading them to two of her little Marill, where they were rolling around on each other.

Kelly indicated the one on the right. "This one's name is Turquoise, and this one-" she pointed to the one on the left, "is Sparkle." she looked up at them. "They're both female, but I'm sure that won't bother you." Kelly reached down to pick both of them up. "But I must tell you two. I don't charge money for my Marill. The only way you can afford it, is to win a match against it. Either that, or my Pokémon. You get to pick."

The girl who had cooed about how sweet the Marill were told her name to Kelly. "It's Hope." she said, "And this is my friend, Rose."

Rose said a quiet hi, and then looked away.

Kelly knew that Rose was kinda shy, but asked her, "Which Marill do you like, Rose?" she held out both of them.

Rose turned slowly back, and looked at the two Marill, which looked much alike, except that Sparkle was a little brighter and smaller than Turquoise was. She pointed at Sparkle.

"Ah," Kelly said, "good choice. Sparkle's a nice sweet Pokémon. I'm sure she'll love you for a trainer." she smiled.

Rose smiled back, but then looked away to find Jeremy again.

Hope told Kelly that Sparkle was going to be Rose's very first Pokémon, and asked her if it were alright to battle it for her.

Kelly nodded. "Sure. As long as it's a battle, then yeah, you get it."

Hope was about to ask why Kelly wanted a battle in order to obtain the Marill, but decided against it. Instead, she pulled out a Poké ball, and heaved it in front of her. "Go, Vulpix!" the Poké ball hit the ground, and then burst open.

"Vulpix!" the young fox Pokémon cried, eyes sparkling.

Now it was Kelly's turn. She pulled out her Love ball, and then threw it up into the air. "I choose you, Espeon! Go!"

The ball struck the ground, and then released the Pokémon so it stood on the grass.

"Esp!" Espeon cried, her dark purple eyes gleaming.

Rose watched the battle in silence.

"Vulpix! Quick Attack on Espeon!" Hope commanded her Pokémon.

Vulpix did as she was told, and raced toward Espeon with great speed.

"Espeon!" Kelly cried, "Confusion attack!"

"Peeeeon!" Espeon cried, fufilling her command, and sending out a wave of her psychic attack.

Vulpix was struck by it, and then fell to the ground.

"Oh no! Vulpix!" Hope screamed in panic, "Are you okay?"

Vulpix did not say anything, but answered Hope's question nonetheless. She got up, and continued to finish up the battle for the Marill.

"Alright, Vulpix! Ember, now!" Hope pointed at Kelly's Espeon while giving the command.

Vulpix took a deep breath, and then fired out a bunch of flaming embers.

Espeon jumped out of the way, and landed right in front of Vulpix.

This scared Vulpix a little, because she sent out a bunch of fire at Espeon's feet in alarm that burned them.

"EEEEESSSSSSSSPPPPPP!!!" Espeon screamed in pain, jumping back to where she was standing before, doing a little flame dance.

"That was good, Vulpix!" Hope cried to her Pokémon, "...even though I'm sure you did it on accident, but it was still good anyway!" she smiled at her Pokémon.

Once Espeon had gotten the fire put out, she had black spots on her footpaws.

Kelly looked at them. "Well, that's not good..." she said, but only after that she noticed that Espeon had a burn! "Uh-oh. Espeon's weakening. We're gonna lose!"

An idea struck Hope, and she decided to attack Espeon again. "Vulpix! A Bite attack oughta do it!"

Vulpix rushed forward, and bit into Espeon's side. She screeched in pain, and then fell to the ground, defeated.

"Oooooooh..." Kelly murmured, calling her Pokémon back into its Love ball. Then she looked up at Hope. She pulled a Lure ball out of her pocket, pointed it at Turquoise, and called her back into it. Then she handed the ball over to Hope. "I believe that this now belongs to you."

Hope took it very gingerly into her hand, still not believing that she had her own Marill now. "T-t-thank you!" she stammered, notching the Lure ball to her black belt. "I'll take good care of your Marill." she smiled.

"Sure." Kelly said. "My Marill will be very happy to have you as her trainer."

Rose stood there, waiting for Hope to battle for HER Marill now.

Hope called her Vulpix back, and took out another Poké ball. "I'll go with my Jolteon!" she threw the Poké ball underhandedly, and it opened while still in the air.

"Jol-teon!" the male Jolteon cried, shaking his fur.

"Ooooooh..." Kelly said, "I was gonna use Sparkle to battle, so I guess I should! Go!" she pointed the little Marill into the battle, and she walked forward.

"Okay, Sparkle! Attract attack first!" Kelly commanded to her young Marill.

"Marrrr!" she cried, sending out a bunch of hearts that were both pink and red, toward Jolteon.

"Oh, great." muttered Hope, wishing that that didn't happen. "Try to fight it, Jolteon! Thundershock!"

Jolteon shook his head, and sent out a big bolt of electricity. The shock hit the little-experienced Marill, and took her down!

Kelly stared at her defeated Pokémon. "Well... That went by pretty fast." then she took out an Ultra ball, and then called Sparkle back. She then handed it to Rose, who took it into her hands.

"Thanks..." she said quietly.

"You're welcome." Kelly said back. Then she turned to Hope. "Thanks for a good battle." she held out her hand.

Hope took it, and they shook hands. "And thank YOU for the wonderful little Marill. We'll take real good care of them."

And with that, the two girls walked away with their newest Pokémon.
