The Misty Mermaid: A Pokeshipping Tail
Heh...new idea. ;) I should be posting another chapter of Oh My, Mummy...but I got carried away. :P This is sorta based off of The Little Mermaid, as well as Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch, but only loosely. Hope you enjoyyy~
(This is my first 3rd person fanfic...so I hope I don't slip into 1st! I apologize if I do!)
This story is also dedicated to Malory79080! I thought she would like the Ikarishipping I have planned. ;)
Summery:
When Misty was a young mermaid, she fell in love with a boy from the surface. One day, when he got caught in a deadly storm, she saved his life. Now, six years later, she longs to see him again, but she cannot tell the one she loves who she is, or she'll risk turning to mere bubbles in the ocean. (Poke, Ikari, Contest, & Leafgreenshipping)
Chapter 1: Mermaids of the Ocean
~6 years ago~
Waves crashed together in a mighty dance as winds raged and lightening struck. A lone ship plowed through the rough waves, and it's captain held onto the stern strongly. Out on deck, things were not so good. Sailors scrambled about, trying to keep the water out as it sloshed across the metal flooring, and swept several of them off into the depths of the sea.
A small child clung to a mast.
"You okay Pikachu!?" he called, his raven colored hair slapping him in the face as the wind blew about.
"Pika pikaaa!" his pokemon replied, but shook, as the effort to hold on was becoming unbearable.
"Are you sure-?" the boy started, but the pokemon's paws slipped off the deck, and it went over the edge.
"PIKACHUUU!" the boy screamed, pain filling his voice. Struggling over to the side of the deck, he dove in after his beloved pokemon. As he fell, he saw the small yellow mouse holding onto the anchor, and climbing up the rope.
He snagged the same rope, and his arms jarred from the halt in his drop.
"You okay?" he asked, as he reached down to pick up his wet pokemon, his muscles bulged in the strain to hold on. The salty water of the ocean slapped him in the face, and ran through his fingers, causing his grip to loosen.
"Sorry buddy..." he murmured, and used all his strength to throw Pikachu up, and back onto the deck. With that, his hands slipped, and his body dropped like a stone into the ocean...
...
But that was not the end. From deep below the ocean, a pair of eyes watched the body slowly descend into the depths. With a few powerful strokes, the shadow reached the sinking body, and drug them to shore. The young boy coughed, and spluttered as the water was expelled from his lungs by a pair of small hands that pumped his chest.
The boy blinked, and look blearily at his savior. The figure's face was shadowed by the sun behind them, and as soon as the boy tried to move, there was a splash, and they were gone. He stared out to the ocean as the storm clouds began to clear.
"Who are you...?" he whispered.
~Now~
"Mistyyyy!" a high pitched voice called. "It's time to practice!" A girl with bluish-black hair looked around for her friend before suddenly flipping forward, and scattered all her seaweed papers.
"Dawn?" another voice said. "Is that you? Were you calling for me?" The girl on the ocean floor pushed herself up, and swam around frantically, grabbing all the papers before the current swept them away.
"Yes!" she exclaimed.
"Wow, well, you're the only mermaid in the seven seas who is capable of tripping in a wide open space even when there was nothing there to trip you," the orange head stated. The first huffed.
"There was a water current! I swear!" Dawn said. Misty rolled her eyes with a grin.
"Of course there was. Now, let me see these sheets. Drew wrote them, correct?" she asked her friend.
"Yes! And Gary tried to sing it, but it was too high for his range, and now he's sulking." Misty laughed, hugging her sides.
"I gotta see that! But should we practice first?" Dawn nodded.
"Yeah. I want to teach you the choreography I made up for it!" Misty smiled.
"Let's go then!" With that, both the green and pink tailed mermaids swam down the hallways to their practice room.
~.~.~
Misty pushed a lock of her sunset hair behind her ear, placed a pearl headband on, and made sure the two pink shells were tied around her chest securely before tying a string of jewels around her waist, and allowing them to hang across her green scaled fin.
"Dawn, is this good?" she asked, and turned to look at her friend. "Wow! You look pretty!"
Dawn blushed. Her hair was tied into a braid that was pulled around on one side, a pink ribbon was tied around her head so that the ends were floating on the opposite side of the braid, the violet colored shells on her chest were polished and practically sparkling, and her waist had a see through mini skirt that complimented her pink fin.
"You're gorgeous though," Dawn said, looking at her friend.
Misty rolled her eyes. "Not the most important thing to me," she said.
"Now, let's go practice with Drew and Gary!" Dawn cheered, grabbing Misty's hand.
"I'll be along in a minute," Misty told her. Dawn nodded.
"Don't be late!" With that, the young mermaid swam out of the large room. Misty turned back to her mirror with the pink coral border. She looked at her reflection and sighed.
I just wish I could go to the surface...I want to tell him...how I really feel.
She pushed some hair behind her ear, and looked down. She definitely wasn't pretty enough to tell him how she felt. And that was the only thing holding her back from going to the surface.
A year prior, she'd gone to the queen of the sea, and asked permission to walk on land and find him. The queen granted her wish, but told her that any mermaid who told a human how they felt would immediately turn to bubbles and float through the ocean for eternity. Misty had been terrified when she heard that, but decided when she thought she was ready, she would go up and find a way to show him how she felt.
Swimming out of the room, she headed down a hallway decorated in flowing seaweed.
"Oof!" she grunted, as she ran into someone.
"Watch it, red head!" a voice complained.
"Sure, whatever you say Gary," Misty sighed. He looked her over.
"What's your problem?" Misty shook her head.
"Erm...nothing, let's go practice, Dawn is waiting." Gary groaned.
"But then Drew will hear you sing the song, and make fun of me, and I hate it when that guy is able to poke fun at me. That's MY job." The red head smirked.
"Well, it's your fault for singing my song."
Gary frowned. "Well, Drew needs to start writing more duets for us so I can sing too!"
Misty shook her head. "It's hard to write duets that aren't romantic," she said and Gary groaned.
"Why is everyone obsessed with romance songs? There are plenty of duets that aren't romantic!"
"Yeah, like the one about how ocean bubbles are amazing?" Misty deadpaned.
"Hey! That song was awesome! You're just jealous that it was such a hit!" The girl raised an eyebrow.
"Among the little mer-kids..." Gary scoffed, and they entered the practice room.
"Well, we're here ladies!" Gary announced.
"I'm not a lady," Drew stated.
"Yes you are, you have a rose in your hair," Gary said.
"It's a fashionable item currently!" Drew huffed, and flicked his bangs, causing them to stick straight up. Gary howled in laughter, and Drew turned red.
"Shut it!" he snapped. Misty let out a silent sigh, and looked at the floor.
If only she could go to the surface now...
Yayz! ^-^ Hope you guys liked it.
Please tell me what you thought!
