Dreams
Chapter one
The home coming
"(Screaming)"
"Ash this is all your fault!" Shouts Dawn
An Ursaring follows not too far behind
"Pika!"
"(Roar)"
"You wanted to take the shortcut!" Ash replied then he tripped over a rock and falls face first on the ground
"Ash!" Calls Brock
"Pikapi!"
Ash turns over on his back and faces Ursaring, who's standing over him.
"Pika"
Ursaring picks Ash up and then sets him down on his feet
"(Blink)"
"Uh…"
"(Laughing)"
Ursaring laughs as it holds its sides
"(Thundering of hoofs)"
Ursaring stops laughing and then looks down the road
"What's that?" Dawn starts then a Rapidash stops a few feet away from Ash
On Rapidash is a girl, seventeen or eighteen , dressed in black jeans, a somewhat tight sliver tee shirt and a black jean jacket.
"Ursaring, didn't I tell you to wait." She starts then jumped off Rapidash and landed next to Ursaring
Ursaring grins then points to Ash.
"…Ash?" she asks then an Umbreon sits down next to her
"Ann!?"
"Long time no see…So, how's it been Mister Ash Ketchum, the new Pokemon master?" Ann asked once she returned Ursaring
"I should ask you that…after all I did take your job and title." Ash teased then Pikachu starts to laugh
"I ain't out of a job yet Ketchum…The Kanto League offered me a job.' Ann replied once Pikachu stopped laughing
"Really?" asks Dawn
"I haven't taken it yet; there are a few things I have to clear up with the family first." Ann said then returned Rapidash
"…Does this job have anything to do with Team Rocket and Giovanni?" asks Brock
"One could say that…after all that man does need to pay for his sins against Pokemon and Man." Ann replied then a black Mustang pulled over and its driver, a young man with brown hair dressed in blue jeans, black tee, and a lab coat, steps out
"Well…look who the Meowth dragged in……Annalisa M. Carvanha…I thought you'd be in Hoenn by now." He chuckled then Ann scowls at him
"Hello to you too Oak." Ann said then Gary smiles at her
Gary Oak wasn't just known as the second best Professor in Kanto but was also Kanto's most wanted Bachelor.
Girls flocked to see if they had a chance of claiming his love, up to date he had and dumped one too many girlfriends…Only god knew if he didn't have sex with those girls, but his grandfather thought other wise.
As for Ann, she was once known as the only girl in Pallet that didn't want to date him, and that made him try to impress her even more.
A year ago they went on a few dates and after a while she dumped him.
"Aw…C'mon, I'm at least trying to act nice." Gary teased and Ann continued to glare at him
"Nice? Don't even try Oak…I've read about the others." Ann said then she and Umbreon start to walk down the road
"Annalisa, c'mon…" Gary starts then Ann turns to face him
"Sorry for leaving so soon…Ash, Dawn, Brock, Gary…Good bye." Ann said then she releases Salamence and then climbs on him, and then Salamence flies to Pallet
"Sis!"
Rene flings herself at Ann and hugs her.
"Welcome home sis." Rene said then Ann sets her backpack down by the stairs
"Thanks…I brought you a gift Re" Ann said then pulled a silver Pokeball out of her pocket
Ann gives the Pokeball to Rene and an Eevee pops out of the ball.
"Thank you…my very own Pokemon." Rene said then hugged her sister again
"You still have to wait four years till you can be a official Pokemon Trainer…but I think that I might as well give you a starter Pokemon that you like." Ann said then Eevee jumps into Rene arms
"Hi Snowfire…Do you want to be my Pokemon?" Rene asks the little Pokemon and she nods her head
"You're great at thinking of names for the Pokemon." Ann said then the phone rings
"Hello"
"Hello Ann, I heard from Gary and Ash that you came home." Said Prof Oak
"Yep, I'm back…I'll be stay here for a few months." Ann replied then sat down on the couch
"We're having a dinner tonight and I was wondering if you'd come. It's a celebration for Ash." Prof Oak said then Umbreon jumps on the open seat next to Ann
"Sure, do you want me to bring anything?" Ann asked then she looks at the clock
"If it's not too much to ask…you could bring lemonade and chips." Starts Prof Oak
"Ok, what time do you want me there?" Ann asks then she stands up and pulls her wallet out of her backpack
"Does 5:30 sound good?" asks Prof Oak
"Ok then…I'll see you guys then." Ann replied then hung up the phone
"Bre?"
Ann looks at the clock and sees she only has an hour before she has to be at the party.
"Ready to go shopping Umbreon?" Ann asks then she puts her wallet in her pocket and then walks to the door
"Sis, where are you going?" Rene asks then Snowfire licks her hand
"I'll be back in a little while…Prof Oak asked me to get some things for the party tonight at the lab." Ann replied then Rene nods
"Should I get our fancy clothes?" Rene asked then Ann opened the door
"I don't think it's a fancy party…but if you want to wear that dress I don't mind." Ann said then closed the door behind her and the she and Umbreon walk down the dirt path to the paved street
Gary stares at the meat section muttering about why Gramps had to choose him to get the 'main course.'
Gary gets his cell phone out of his pocket and calls the lab.
"What now Gary?" Tracy asked, a bit tired of Gary calling with the same question every time in the past ten minutes
"Get the meat…What kind? This store has enough to fill a thousand Snorlax." Gary muttered then looks at the freezer again
"Don't fuse at me mister I'm too good for shopping…just get something that actually looks like food." Tracy said then he hung the phone up
"Big help that was." Gary growls then starts reading the different types of meat trying to find something good
Umbreon and Ann looks at the chips and then start filling the shopping cart with seven kinds of chips, sour cream, honey barbecue, baked, tomato, cheese, and a low fat regular.
"I think that should do it…now for the lemonade, c'mon Umbreon we'll get the frozen ones." Ann said then she and Umbreon make their way to the frozen foods
"Why couldn't Gramps ask me to just get the desserts?" Gary groans then he decided on a package of hamburgers and chicken
"Bre?"
Ann and Umbreon turn the corner and then Ann and Gary look at each other shocked.
"So, Prof Oak put you to work." Ann muttered then pulled over to the side of the lisle
"And you got the easy job…Gramps wants me to get the meat and the deserts." Gary groans then Ann looks at the hamburgers
"Gary, I don't think you'd want those." Ann said then pointed to the package of one hundred hamburger patties
"And why wouldn't I?" Gary asked trying to sound a bit upset that a girl was correcting him
"Read the label…Hot and spicy, pepper jack flavored." Ann said then scraped the ice off the label and showed Gary
"(Sweat drop)…I guess I should have looked at that closer." Gary said then Ann put the package back in the freezer and pulled out a package on unflavored hamburger patties, one hundred count
"I bought the same brand a few years back…so I know that they're a bit too spicy for even a Pokemon that likes their food red hot and spicy." Ann said then handed Gary the package
"Thanks…I own ya one." Gary said then put the package in his shopping cart
"You can help me by getting the lemonade." Ann replied then she and Gary walk over to another freezer that had one too many flavors of Lemonade, limes and lemons, strawberry lemon, kiwi-strawberry lemon, raspberry lemon, the types went on and on
"And I thought the meat was tough." Gary said then Ann reads the types over and Umbreon does the same
"Gary, do you know how many people are coming tonight?" Ann asks then reads the prices of the different kinds
"Close to fifty." Gary replied then Ann looks in her wallet
"Each package can serve ten, and at a dollar a piece…ten of two types is what I can buy at the moment." Ann said then put her wallet in her pocket
"I thought you were the second richest person in Pallet" starts Gary
"That doesn't give me the right to have my money to run out of my hand like sand." Ann replied then she gets ten jars of frozen Raspberry Lemon and normal lemonade
"Could I ask for a favor?" Gary asked then Ann sets the jars in her cart
"It depends on what kind of favor." Ann replied then turned to face Gary
"Could you help me chose the desserts? Gramps gave a list on what I need to pick up but it only lists flavors." Gary said then Ann nods
"Ok, but you have to give me a ride." Ann said then she and Gary walk to the baked goods
"Something lemon, chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla." Gary said as he read the list
"And is this cakes or cookies?" Ann asks then Gary folds the list
"Everything's cakes and then chocolate chip cookies." Gary replied then Ann starts looking at German chocolate cakes
"How much to you have?" Ann asks then Gary looks in his wallet
"…A thousand but that's it." Gary said then shoved his wallet in his back pocket
"Go look at the lemon cakes; I'll be there in a sec." Ann said then picked up two German chocolate cakes and placed them carefully in the cart
"This is impossible." Gary muttered then pulled his cell phone out 'again'
"Gary you are indeed a royal pain in the butt…What is it this time?" Tracy groaned on the other end
"What did Gramps mean lemon cake?" Gary asks as he and Ann look at frosted, glazed, and normal lemon cakes
"It means get a lemon cake…what else would it mean?" asked Tracy
"We're trying our best…Even Ann can't figure out which stinking cake to get." Gary cursed, starting to get a bit ticked off
"……Don't ask me…I don't know this stuff…… (Sigh)…just get one of each." Tracy replied then he heard Gary almost drop the cell phone
"Do you know how much money that will cost me?!" Gary yelled in the phone
"Quit whining…You're the third richest person in Pallet…after all you did say you have Ann there helping to choose the cakes, ask for a loan." Tracy teased then he hung the phone up before Gary could respond
"I'm guessing that didn't work." Ann said then reads the cost of each cake
"Tracy is going to get a piece of my mind when I get back." Gary growls then puts his cell phone back in his pocket
"We'll have to get two of the three kinds…it won't cost that much……only around twenty or thirty." Ann replied then placed four of the cakes in Gary's cart, since her cart could only fit four cakes with the chips and the jars of lemonade
Gary looks at the strawberry cakes and saw that it wasn't going to be that hard with them…Only two types, normal and strawberry chip. And since he knew that not very many people he knew liked the chip he got three normal and then followed Ann to get a vanilla cake, a frosted one
"Ok, all of these are the same…that's easy." Gary said relieved
"We'll get three and then we can checkout." Ann said then she puts one in her cart and Gary puts two in his
"This should do it." Gary said then he and Ann head for the checkout and got in the same line
"Ann, I'll pay for this." Gary said then Ann shakes her head
"Prof Oak asked me to get the chips and the lemonade, besides; you'll need your money with the bill that you'll run up." Ann replied then helped Gary get the cakes on the conveyer belt
"Yes, but I am needing to use your cart to get them to my car." Gary added then Ann sighed
"Ok, I'll pay the bill and you can pay me back later." Ann said then Gary looked at her shocked
"You don't have to." Starts Gary
"It's the least I can do, you are giving me a ride home and to the party." Ann said then pulled out her wallet
"I don't need help…I can pay the bill without help." Gary said then Ann sighed
"I know…but I do own ya a few." Ann replied then Gary gave into the request
"Ok, but don't tell Gramps." Gary said then Ann nodded and the line moved
"Hi Ann, I heard you came home." The clerk, Lauren, said as she rung the items up
"Yeah, I got back today." Ann replied then Lauren saw who she was with
"What'd you have to do this time Oak? Beg?" Lauren said, not very happy that she was talking to who she thought was the biggest jerk in Pallet
"I'm not dating anyone at the moment…My job is more important at the moment." Gary replied then loaded the bags in the carts
"120 is the amount.' Lauren said then Ann hands over the money and then Lauren gives her the change
"See ya later." Ann said then she and Gary start to walk for the doors
"Keep an eye on that one Ann…He might get broken in for you!" Lauren teases then returns to her job
"I guess you've become Kanto's most Wanted Bachelor and Pallet's biggest sucker." Ann said then sat down in Gary's nice black Mustang
"Very funny…and what about you? How's you're dating life?" Gary asked then Ann blushes
Gary pulls out of the parking space and then the car heads for the street.
"I don't really pay that much attention to a love life…I'm more into following my passion and making my dreams come true." Ann replied as Gary drives down the street she lives on
"And that is?" Gary asked then turned the fan down
"Music has always been my passion…Singing the most." Ann replied then Gary pulls in her driveway
"You should sing for us sometime." Gary said then Ann opens the door
"I'll be back in a few minutes." Ann said then walked into the house
"All ready Re?" Ann asked then her little sister and Snowfire run down the stairs, Rene in a plain red dress with a red ribbon in her hair and a matching bow on Snowfire's collar
"Yep, and I got that really pretty dress all ready for you." Rene said then Snowfire nods
"Ok, Gary's waiting outside, he's going to drive us…Tell him I'll be right out." Ann call as she walked into her room
Gary looks at his watch and sees that he has ten minutes before they needed to get there.
"Are you sure Ann said 'right' out?" Gary asked as Rene pets Snowfire
"She's just changing…it won't take more then three minutes." Rene replied then the door opens and Ann walks out, locks it and hops in the car
Ann's wearing a nice, but plain, silver dress and a blue jean jacket.
Her eyes glittered from a light blue eye shadow, and her lips shimmered from a deep red lipstick.
Gary himself look quite plain in his tie-less (And jacket-less) tux.
"Sorry if I took too long." Ann replied then she puts on the seatbelt and Gary pulls out of the driveway
"Bre"
Umbreon smiles at the reaction Gary gave Ann and then winked at her trainer.
"Where is he?"
Prof Oak looks out the window hoping he'd see Gary's black Mustang in the driveway.
"He might be giving Ann a ride." Dawn said then Ash fell over laughing and Pikachu does the same
"Gary wants to be Ann's boyfriend and the whole town knows that. And Annalisa isn't one for love as far as I know." Ash laughed then he sees his mother's scolding look in her eye, because it took her a long time to iron his tux, he gets up and stops laughing
"O my god" Tracy mutter once he saw Gary's car pull in the driveway
"What? Is Gary back?" asks Ash
"More then that…Gary got a date; and guess who it is." Tracy said then Ash looks out the window
"How did that jerk get her for a date?" Ash mutters after he saw Ann in the car and once she stepped out of the car he and Tracy almost fell over in shock
"And how did he talk her into wearing a dress?!" they both said then they had to duck before Ann caught sight of them
Ann and Rene helps Gary carry the food in and Alakazam helps with the rest.
"Here they are gramps…the meat and the cakes." Gary said then Alakazam sets the last few bags down on the table
"Here's the chips, and the lemonade." Ann said then she returns Alakazam
"Thank you for going on the shopping trip…I know my grandson is impossible when it comes to food shopping." Prof Oak said then Brock takes the bags to the kitchen
"It was kinda nice…I at least got a ride for helping Gary make up his mind." Ann said then Delia walks into the room
"O my…Ann you look beautiful in that dress." Delia said then everyone looks at her
"Thanks" Ann said then Snowfire jumps out of Rene arms and lands on the ground
"How in the world did you get her to look like that?" Ash asks Gary then he scoffed
"I didn't do that… (Sigh)… Why do I feel like I'm being dragged into this?" Gary mutters as he looks over at Ann
"Is that the old Gary Oak coming back?" Ash asks, teasing Gary about his jerk self
"…She does look real hot in that." Gary admitted then Ash shakes his head
"You aren't going to win her over like that…You have to be kind, gentle, and show a bit of respect to win a woman's heart…that's how I got to Dawn." Ash said then Gary sighs
"Asking her to go out on a date with me would be a joke…Ann's no where near wanting a love life, and even if I try to ask her there's the chance I'll get something broken, torn, or bloody." Gary replied as he watches Ann walk into the library
"Ann is a tom boy at heart…but she is slowly being more like a lady……Just ask." Ash said pushing Gary into the library
"Ash, I can't…Ann's too nice to get a guy like me…sure, she's the best sharp shooter and trainer in Pallet and maybe Kanto……I just don't want to get her humiliated again, last year's try was good enough." Gary said then Ash shakes his head
"Gary, you've had a crush on that girl since you met her…And now it's gone from a crush to what you say is true love. You've tried to find a girl like her but couldn't, just try to talk to her…maybe you'll get lucky with her." Ash said then Gary looks at a open seat next to Ann that he thinks has his name on it
Ash and Gary joins the group, Ash taking a seat next to Dawn and his mother, Gary taking the seat next to Ann on the couch.
Ann looks out of the corner of her eye at Gary, looking him over better.
His tux was gray but he wasn't wearing the jacket, his button up shirt was unbuttoned by two near the top, showing a small glint of his chest and the Ying-yang necklace he wore.
That's probably how he lures girls in. Ann sighed to herself then returns to Ash talking about the trip back
"So Ann, what have you been up to since the battle?" Delia asked Ann, snapping her straight back into reality
"For the past four months I've been performing and training a few of my Pokemon." Ann replied then Dawn sets her glass down
"What kind of performing?" Dawn asks then Ann sits up straight, hoping to get Gary to get his hand away from her shoulder as he rested his left arm around the back of the couch and his hand resting on the area where she shoulder was
"Mostly singing and playing the guitar." Ann replied then she feels Gary touch her hair with a finger
"You should sing for us sometime…I got an idea, There's an old guitar if you want maybe you could play and sing for us?" asks Tracy
"Sure, I'll be happy to." Ann said then Tracy stood up and went to go find the guitar
"When did you start performing?" asks Delia
"I've performed on and off over the past eight years…it became a every week thing just a few months ago.' Ann replied then Gary's Umbreon jumps on his lap
"Found it" Tracy said then walked back in the room with a guitar case
Ann opens the case and pulls out the guitar and as she tunes it Prof Oak and Brock walks in.
"Ah, I see Ann is going to show us that wonderful talent of her's." Prof Oak said then he sits down in a chair
"(Ann plays the guitar softly.)"
"……I
wanted you to know that I love the way you laugh
I wanna hold you
high and steal your pain away
I keep your photograph; I know it
serves me well
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain
'Cause
I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when
you're gone away
You've gone away, you don't feel me anymore
The worst is over now and we can breathe again
I
wanna hold you high, you steal my pain away
There's so much left
to learn, and no one left to fight
I wanna hold you high and steal
your pain
'Cause I'm broken when I'm open
And I
don't feel like I am strong enough
'Cause I'm broken when
I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
[Tempo quickens
'Cause
I'm broken when I'm open!
And I don't feel like I am strong
enough
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome!
And I don't
feel right when you're gone away
'Cause I'm broken when
I'm lonesome!
And I don't feel right when you're gone
[Tempo slows down
You've gone away, you don't feel me anymore" Ann sang then everyone looks at her with shock
"Wow Ann… song…How'd you learn it?" Dawn asks then she wipes a tear from her eye
"I heard it on the radio and I learned it soon after." Ann replied then Ash leans back in the couch
"What other songs do you know?" asks Ash
"Miracle, Bad boy, My heart will go on, and a few others." Ann replied then Ash smirked
"I think Bad boy is a good song for Gary." Ash said then Gary looked at him, glaring
"I'm able to sing Miracle far better." Ann said then Gary nods with Ash
"I would like to hear Bad Boy Ann…I'm sure you can sing it with just the guitar." Gary said then Ann realizes what Gary was doing
"If I sing it then will you stop twirling my hair?" Ann said then Gary caught his grandfather's gaze, warning him to keep his hands off
Gary sits with both hands in his lap, a lot like a three year old, and then Ann starts to play.
"Remember
the feelings, remember the day
My stone heart was breaking
My
love ran away
This moments I knew I would be someone else
My
love turned around and I fell
Be my bad boy, be my man
Be my
week-end lover
But don't be my friend
You can be my bad boy
But
understand
That I don't need you in my life again
Won't you be
my bad boy, be my man
Be my week-end lover
But don't be my
friend
You can be my bad boy
But understand
That I don't
need you again
No I don't need you again
[Tempo speeds up
Bad boy
You
once made this promise
To stay by my side
But after some time
you just pushed me aside
You never thought that a girl could be
strong
Now I'll show you how to go on
Be my bad boy, be my
man
Be my week-end lover
But don't be my friend
You can be
my bad boy
But understand
That I don't need you in my life
again
Won't you be my bad boy, be my man
Be my week-end
lover
But don't be my friend
You can be my bad boy
But
understand
That I don't need you again
No I don't need you
again." Ann sang as the guitar music fades
"Now that is a good song." Gary said then Brock hits him over the head
"Yeah, because that's meant for guys like you." Brock said then Rene giggles
"I don't normally sing that song…but concerting that I'm stuck sitting next to a jerk." Ann starts then Gary protected his head think that Ann was going to hit him for trying to arouse her by twirling her hair and placing his hand near her thigh
"Ann, could you sing Miracle? I just love that song." Dawn asks then Ann nods
"Boy
meets girl You were my dream, my world
But I was blind,
You
cheated on me from behind
So on my own
I feel so all alone
Though I know it's true
I'm still in love with you
[Tempo speeds up
I need a
miracle
I wanna be your girl
Give me a chance to see
That
you are made for me
I need a miracle
Please let me be your
girl
One day you'll see it can happen to me

Day and
night

'Cause I know for sure
My

So take a try
No need to ask

'Cause I know it's true

[Guitar stops
I need a

[Guitar starts playing hard.
It can happen to me
[Guitar plays even harder.
Miracle…Miracle
[More guitar
Miracle…Miracle" Ann sang then there's a knock at the door
Prof Oak stands up and walks out of the library.
"I take it back…that is a way better song." Gary said then Ann places the guitar in the case
"That is amazing Ann…I never knew that you were such a good singer." Starts Delia
"When I was little Grandma gave me a few lesions for the guitar and since then I've enjoyed music." Ann replied then Prof Oak walks back in the library with two people that seem to look like twins
"(Running footsteps)"
A young brown hair girl runs in the library and then she spots Ann.
"Ann! You're back!" She said then hugs her
The girl sees Gary and scowls at him.
"There's no way you're going to use this one brother…I'll get Charizard to fry you to a crisp." She said then Gary scoffs
"Put a cork in it…I'm not trying to do anything wrong yet, am I?" Gary replied then the girl pulls Ann to a lounge chair
"Here, sitting here is way better then sitting next to my jerk of a brother." She teased then Gary turns slightly red with anger
"Daisy! I'm not a jerk!" Gary snapped, and then caught a look at his grandfather's gaze, as if he was going to say 'not when there are guests.'
"You're a really big pain in the bum." Daisy said then Gary stands up
"Excuse me" Gary said then he walks out of the library and into the gardens, slamming the door behind him
"Sorry about that Alana, Mike…Gary's just acting more like a jerk since yesterday." Daisy said then she sat down
"I can see why." Ann said then Rene sighs
"Gary is a jerk sis…but at least he's not acting like a perv." Rene said then leans back in the chair holding Snowfire in her lap
"Gary's always been like that Ann…growing up it was the worst." Daisy said then Ann shakes her head
"I don't remember that…All I remember is him getting that attitude from his stepmother." Ann said then the door bell rings
"Don't forget…I am Gary's half sister." Daisy said then Ann stands up
"And I'm his friend." Ann added then walked outside
Ann leaves everyone in shock, Ann had never called anyone but her Pokemon a friend. And calling Gary a friend alone was a shock enough.
Ann walks around the gardens for a while and then spots Gary watching some Rapidash and Ponyta grazing in a field.
Why does everyone hate me? It's not like I did anything wrong?
Gary sighs then he hears someone sit next to him.
"I'm sorry that I didn't defend you in there." Ann said then she watches a Rapidash race across the field
"It's ok…everyone hates me, and now they've all said it to my face." Gary replied then he feels Ann's hand on his
Gary looks up at Ann in shock.
"I don't hate you." Ann said then Gary smiles
"Thanks Ann…that means a lot." Gary said then Ann smiles back
"You're one of my best friends…I won't deny that." Ann said then Gary looks at the Pokemon
"We should catch up…I haven't heard from you for a year." Gary said then Ann nods
"I heard from Rene that you're doing a study on Farm Pokemon…maybe you could come by the house and do you research on Mareep and Miltank…Free dinner." Ann said then Gary laughs
"And are you sure you'd want me in your house?" Gary asks then Ann picked up on what he was thinking
"I do have Houndoom…He'll keep ya straight." Ann teased then Umbreon laughs at the thought of Houndoom pulling Gary out of the house by his pants
"That sounds like a great idea…besides…the work here at the lab can wait till I get my studies on this done." Gary said then a Glaceon pops out of one of Ann's Pokeballs
"Ce"
"Sorry Glaceon…I forgot to let you out." Ann said then Glaceon sniffs the air and walks over to Gary
Glaceon sniffs Gary and then smiles.
"What's wrong with her eyes?" starts Gary
"When she was an Eevee she got poisoned by a Weedle and I brought her to the Pokemon Center…Nurse Joy said she wasn't able to save her eyes…I've had her ever since." Ann replied then Glaceon walks toward her Trainer's voice and curls up next to her
"How is she at battling?" Gary asks then Ann sees that he didn't want her to tell him, he wanted to see Glaceon fight for his own eyes
"I can show you in a double battle…that is…if you even dare to try to beat my team." Ann said, and then Gary smirked
"I can beat you anytime anywhere." Gary bragged then Ann pets Glaceon
"Prove it…Glaceon and Umbreon against your team." Ann said then she stands up
"And get dirt all over your pretty witty dress?" Gary said, mockingly
"Are ya afraid I'll beat ya?" Ann said, her accent very-very-very thick
"Ok, you're on…Umbreon and Blastoise can beat you." Gary said once he stood up
"You've got what it takes?" Ann snickered, and then Gary pulls out a Pokeball
"…O yeah"
Ann stands on one side of the field while Gary stands on the other.
"Ladies first." Gary said, slightly bowing
"As a new member of the Kanto Elite I can't…challenger first." Ann said then Gary smirked
So that's her new job. Gary thought then he nods
"Umbreon, Shadow ball!" Gary called then Umbreon releases the blackish ball of doom
"Glaceon, use Ice beam…(Shadow ball moves closer)…Now"
Gary watched in awe as he saw Glaceon's timing with Ann's voice…Maybe he was wrong about this being an easy battle.
"Blastoise, Hydro Cannon!" Gary calls then Ann crosses her arms
"Glaceon, Ice beam…Umbreon, Hyper beam………Now!" Ann called as the two releases the attacks
The Hydro Cannon was frozen by Ice beam, and Hyper Beam shattered the ice and hit Blastoise.
"It'll take a lot more then that Gary…Glaceon may be blind, but she has the use of my eyes and Umbreon's, and that is not just an asset to her, it's what helps her rely on her other senses so she can win." Ann replied once she saw the shock on Gary's face
"…Umbreon, Hyper Beam!" Gary called then Umbreon powers up the attack
"Umbreon, use Hyper Beam as well." Ann said then both Umbreon's release their attacks, causing a huge explosion
"What was that?"
Dawn walks over to the deck and looks over the field.
"Guys, come take a look at this." Dawn said then everyone at the party looks at the Pokemon battle
"Is that Ann's Glaceon?" starts Brock
"I thought she didn't battle with that Pokemon." Dawn said then Ash looks closer at the battle
"Let go take a closer look." Ash said then he and Pikachu run for the battle
"Hydro Cannon!"
"Ice Beam…Shadow Ball! NOW!"
Gary watches as Blastoise once again got hit, and then he looks at Ann's Pokemon.
Not even a scratch He cursed in his mind again and again
"Umbreon, Shadow Ball!" Gary called then Ann shakes her head
"Glaceon…five feet to the right and use a Hyper Beam to the left." Ann said then Glaceon did just want her trainer said
"Block it with Protect Umbreon!" Gary called as the attack reflected off the barrier
"Double Hyper Beam!" Ann calls just as the barrier fell
Glaceon and Umbreon release the attack and it hits Blastoise, knocking him out.
"(Sigh)…Return, you did a great job." Gary said then he returned the Pokeball to his belt
"Not bad for someone who lost to Ash a few months ago." Ann said then Gary smirked once he saw everyone at the party
Better get your act together…If I lose everyone here will haunt me till my last breath.
"Umbreon, Bite!" Gary calls then Umbreon heads for Glaceon
"……A Hyper Beam please Glaceon." Ann said then Glaceon powers up her attack
"CEON!!!!"
Umbreon was thrown back a few feet, knocked out.
"(Applause)"
Gary returns Umbreon and looks at Ann.
How in the world did she lose to Ash?
"Glaceon is blind? She's far better then any other Pokemon I've seen." Prof Oak said as he pets Glaceon
"Why didn't you use her in the last battle Ann?" asks Ash
"Glaceon wasn't ready to battle…when I battled you I got her and she was getting use to being blind." Ann said then she sees Gary walk closer
"Glaceon is amazing Ann…she sure is a great Pokemon." Gary said then he patted Glaceon on the head
"She is one of my top Pokemon." Ann replied then Glaceon sniffs the air and could smell a Pikachu, Ash's Pikachu
Hours pasted since the little Pokemon battle and the party soon became like formal dinner party…too formal.
"Ce"
Glaceon could tell that her Trainer was stressed out about something, and Umbreon could see it; even though Ann leaned on a wall near one of the windows and watches people, mostly dressed up, pass by or drown her in questions.
"Breon?"
Why in the world am I doing? I'm a Dark Trainer…I don't do this type of thing unless there's a gun to my head or something…but is kinda nice talking to people who actually have a life…the only people I've talked to in the past few months are the Pokemon G-men, nice to know that Lance is helping me track Giovanni down but am I really doing the right thing? What am I thinking? Of course I am, Giovanni killed my father, six of my Pokemon, the cause of thousands of Poke-napping cases and deaths…It's my job to put that man and the rest of Team Rocket behind bars…After all, Doomon told me that when he gave me my badge… "Your mission is stop Team Rocket no matter what." Even Lance agreed to the idea of a suicide mission to stop Giovanni, I'll do anything to stop him from hurting any more Pokemon and People. Ann thought then she spots three people that made her growl
"James, hurry up." A red head snapped as her partner and a Meowth follow
"Take it easy Jess…I don't see that Agent from the Pokemon G-men or the Dark Pokemon Trainer group ." Meowth said then the three of them hide behind a table of finger foods
"Yeah but if that Agent was able to arrest Butch and Cassidy he must be real good." Starts James
"No one knows if it's a male or a female, young or old." Meowth replied then the group moves in on Pikachu
"Pika"
Ash's Pikachu and Ann's Raichu sit on the back of the couch, talking about what happened over the past year since they saw each other.
Ann carefully follows the three bumbling idiots from Team Rocket, and bumped into Gary.
"I'm sorry Ann I should have looked where I was walking." Starts Gary
"Shh" Ann pushes Gary into a dark corner of the room, covering Gary's mouth with her hand and looking at the three as they sneak up to the couch
"Ann, what's going on?" Gary asks once he got Ann's hand off
"Team Rocket's here…Jessie, James, and Meowth; and they're after Pikachu. I can't arrest them unless I catch them in the act, Call Officer Jenny, Tell her that DPT 0092 caught three Team Rocket members and will need help." Ann said then she leaves Gary and follows the trail of the three
"Almost there" giggled Jessie
"Quiet, we don't want Pikachu to hear us." James said then they nap Pikachu with their net
"Wha!?"
Pikachu and Raichu are in the net and everyone in the room, and party, look at them.
"Team Rocket!" Starts Ash
"That's right twerp" snickers Jessie
"To protect the world from devastation…"
Jessie looks at the net and sees that the Pokemon weren't there, and both Pokemon were in the arms of a girl dressed in black jeans, a tight silver shirt, and a black jean jacket; holding a skirt in her hand setting it down along with Raichu and Pikachu
"We stole those Pokemon fair and square!" Whines James
"Found you." She said then Pikachu and Raichu look up into the girl's eyes and saw Ann
"(Sweat drop)…James Jessie, That's 0092!" Meowth shouts then hides behind James
"You better be scared! I don't like finding TR agents around here, and here of all places trying to steal the Pokemon Master's Pokemon…You just got yourself in a whole lot of trouble." Ann growls then the three jump
"We're sorry DPT 0092…Don't kill us." James whimpered on his hands and knees
Everyone in the room looked on at the sight, still not realizing it was their own Ann Carvanha, shocked that Team Rocket even dared to come near Pallet.
"(Sirens)"
Team Rocket pales and then runs for the window, but Ann was there before they were.
"Please, we promise we'll be good." James begs then Jessie becomes mad
Jessie's fist heads for Ann's face, and was stopped by her hand gripping onto it.
Ann kicked Jessie back, causing James and Meowth to fall on their knees begging for mercy, and after a while Jessie too was begging.
"Dark Trainer's don't give mercy to the likes of you." Ann growls just as the cops and Office Jenny walked in
"Who is that girl?"
Ash holds Pikachu and looks at the girl, Ann, talking to Officer Jenny and Prof Oak.
"Thank you DPT 0092…Thanks to you and the DPT we've arrested over one hundred Team Rocket members in the past month." Officer Jenny said then Ann nods
"Jenny, you don't have to use my code name…I don't mind if the whole town knows." Ann said then Prof Oak turns to her
"I think we all would like to know what this is Ann." Prof Oak said then Ann nods
"I'll tell y'all in the library…I just have to finish up here." Ann said then signed her name at the paper Officer Jenny handed her
All of the guests left and Prof Oak, Delia, Ash, Dawn, Tracy, Brock, Gary, and Rene (Asleep on the couch.) sat in the library.
"Sorry to keep you waiting." Ann said then everyone, but Prof Oak and Gary, looked at her in shock
"You're the agent?" starts Dawn
"I've been a DPT agent for a long time now." Ann replied then she sat down and Umbreon sits next to her
"DPT?" starts Brock
"Dark Pokemon Trainer department…We're a group of four hundred trainers and our Pokemon work with the Elite and the police in arresting Team Rocket members, we don't even think twice about our missions…even suicide missions." Ann replied then Gary looks at her
"Suicide?" starts Gary
"Five DPT have been given the job of tracking Giovanni himself down and bringing him in……(Sigh)…dead or alive." Ann said then Ash coughs on his cola
"What!? Who gave the ok?" asks Ash
"The Pokemon Elite is above us…who else but you and the Elite?" Ann said then Ash started to remember the meeting about the issue, he was out voted and was against the idea
"I didn't think they'd go through with out my ok." Ash said then Pikachu looks up at his trainer
"When I wasn't given the job of tracking Giovanni down I myself wasn't happy…That's why I said no." Ann replied then Umbreon and Glaceon nod, remembering the day clearly
"So, Annalisa is a butt kicking Dark Trainer…now we all know why you're so cold." Gary said then Ann looked at him
"You must understand that DPTs aren't normally this willing to be 'friendly'…I myself am normally colder then this, my boss said that it's good to have two faces for this job." Ann said then Gary scoffs
"You've never been that friendly." Gary mutters then he hears a growl
"I heard that" Ann growls at Gary
"How long have you been a DPT?" asks Brock
"Six years…possibly seven." Ann replied then Umbreon nods after counting the years in her head
"You've been a DPT since you became a Trainer?" starts Delia
"Yeah…I guess it has been that long…At the time all I wanted was to do my best to get Giovanni and Team Rocket to back off…(Sigh)…and all I did was place a million dollar bounty on my head." Ann said then Gary's mouth dropped
"Giovanni's trying to kill you?" starts Brock
"Has been for seven years now." Ann replied then Gary looks at Ann, his heart begging that it wasn't true
"Are you sure?" asks Prof Oak
"Lance did a raid of one of the old Team Rocket buildings and found a hit list…He sent a copy to me." Ann said then handed a letter to Prof Oak
Everyone crowds around Prof Oak reading the hit list.
Ace Carvanha
Ann Carvanha
Lance of the Elite Four
Agatha of the Elite Four
The list went on and on names of Elite members and ex Team Rocket members and even Pokemon professors.
"Ace Carvanha?" starts Tracy
"His name is scratched out." Brock added looking closely at the page
"Ace is my father and he died five months before I became a trainer…I was the only witness to the murder." Ann said then Gary steps on Brock's foot
Gary saw Ann's spirit fall at the mention of her father's death…She never told anyone anything, the only thing she told Officer Jenny was the name of the man that killed her father and that's all. It had almost been eight years, how could she hold that kind of pain and sorrow inside? Why was she hiding the details of that night?
Prof Oak gives Ann the letter back and she tucks it in her shirt pocket.
"I'm sorry Ann…I didn't know." Brock start, seeing why Gary stepped on his foot
"It's fine…You didn't know because I've never told anyone about it." Ann replied then she stood up
Ann starts to walk to the couch and picks up her sleeping sister and then Gary places a hand on her shoulder.
"I'll drive you home." Gary said then Ann nods
"Good night…see ya later." Ann said then she follows Gary outside
Gary drove his car down the street, he and Ann hadn't tried to talk since they left.
"Ann, are you ok?" Gary asks then Ann looks at him
"Meaning what?" Ann asks then Gary stops at a red light
"You've never really talked about that night…everyone knows you watched Giovanni kill your father but no one else knows more then that…How could you hold that kind of pain inside?" Gary asks then Ann looks out the window at the street as Gary drives to her house
"I don't live with it……I fight it, I hate it…if I had a choice I would have never gone back that night. That's why I'll hate Giovanni and Team Rocket till my final breath." Ann said, her eyes cold as ice
Gary stops the car in Ann's driveway and faces her.
"You took that mission to kill Giovanni didn't you?" starts Gary
"It's none of your business Oak." Ann said then reaches for the car door handle
"It is…Ann, you're the only person that I think I could trust with my life…I don't think I could live without you." Gary said then Ann felt her heart beating faster and faster
"…Giovanni needs to pay for what he has done to the world…So yeah, if I die I'm at least going to take him down with me." Ann replied coldly
Gary looked at Ann shocked…In the past she had snapped at him a few times, but this time he knew that something was wrong. All the other times she took back what she said, and something told him she would never talk those words back.
Her eyes were filled with rage and pain, but mostly cold, the very sight of Ann like this made Gary scared.
"Ann" starts Gary
Ann steps out of the car and picks up her sister from the back seat.
"I'll see you in the morning…Night Oak." Ann said then she closed the door and walks to her house, unlocking the door and disappearing inside
What is going on with you Ann? I have to help her…She's blocked her memories with rage and sorrow, I have to help her open up…I'll try tomorrow.
