Hey, this is my first story, so don't review THAT bad. Just giving credit to my good friend, Unique Art. She co-wrote the story with me. This story was based off Pokemon Mystery Dungeon. Hope you enjoy it!
DISCLAIMER:I don't own Pokemon, or associate with them in any way.
I locked myself in my room, hoping for some peace and quiet. I stared at the talking device on my computer desk in agony. It taunted me. It looked like it was smiling at me! Why, why must it taunt me like this?!
I groaned inwardly, and closed my eyes.
How am I supposed to ask Lisa out? She's pretty, and sweet...She'll never say yes to me!
I turned away from the phone in defeat.
But, she could like you back!
I perked up at the thought.
What if she does! She might be sitting in her room...fretting like I am...thinking the same way...
That'd be awesome!
Then, when I'd call her, she be all excited, and say yes, and we'd get married! I can see her in a pretty white dress. Gosh, she has pretty hair. It's so soft, and fluffy...
How would she like me? I mean, she's WAY too popular...and pretty...and smart...She's too perfect!
A loud RING! broke through my inner conflict. I jumped, and let a slight scream escape my lips. Should I answer it? It might be for Carl, my older brother. Might as well look. The phone rang again.
I slowly made my way over to the phone. I read the bright red letters in total shock.
LISA DURGEN
I stared at the phone, my eyes wide.
She's calling me?
The phone rang again.
I'd better answer it!!
I picked up the phone with a shaking hand, my heart pounding in my chest. I lifted the teal phone to my ear, and asked in a soft voice, "H-hello?"
"Jes? Is that you? Hey, it's Lisa!"
"He-hey, Lisa. What's up?" I stuttered, my mouth suddenly dry. My heart was pounding so loud, I thought she could hear it on the other end!
"Not much. I just wanted to call. I missed you at school today," came the angelic voice that made my brain turn to mush.
"Yeah. I wasn't feelin' too well." I had stayed home with a headache that day.
"Aw, how are you feeling now?"
"Much better!" I paused a moment, then said, "Thanks for asking."
"That's great! Well, I'd better get going."
"Wait!" I blurted. This was my only chance to ask, I figured. "Would you...like to hang out sometime? Like, Friday? At the, you know...movies?" I babbled like an idiot.
"You mean like a...date, or something?" came a soft voice. I could tell she was pondering what I had asked.
"Uh..." I didn't know what to say. "Only if you want to...If you don't I understand..."
"No, no! I'd...love to go out with you. That'd be...nice."
I was in too much of a shock to reply. I was so happy, I forgot how to speak.
"Uh, well, see ya on Monday, Jes."
"See ya, Lisa."
I hung up the phone softly. I sat there, my mind racing.
Lisa said yes! Lisa said yes!
A loud, annoying fit of giggles came from outside my door, breaking my jubilant chant. I only knew one person that could be so cute and be such an evil pest: my little sister, Liz.
I stormed to the door, and ripped it open in a flash. Sitting by my wooden door was a grinning six year old, holding the hallway phone. Her dark hair was pulled in perky pigtails, and her vibrant blue eyes were full of laughter. She grinned up at me, showing some of her missing teeth.
"Hahaha!" she laughed, a sickening sneer forming on her little devious face.
"Jes's got a girlfriend! Jes's got a girlfriend!" she chanted, her freakishly loud voice ringing down the halls. She jumped up, and darted down the hall before I could snatch her up by the little pigtails. She continued to chant loudly, in between her insane giggles.
I started to run after her, feeling furious. If my parents ever found out I was dating Lisa, I would never hear the end of it! And if Carl found out...I didn't want to think what would happen.
So I ran after her blindly, knowing I probably would never catch my little sis. But, I tried anyway. And I was so busy focusing on the little twerp, I didn't realize I was going through the lowest door way in the house. It was a few inches short for me, but Liz fit just fine. (Of course).
So, being the lucky person I was, I hit my head on the doorway at full speed. I stumbled backward, my head pounding and my thoughts spinning wildly. I fell to the hardwood floor, and slammed my head on the ground. I saw my vision get blurry, and my eyes start to water. As my vision went black, I heard one last line:
"Jes's got a girlfriend!"
"Ugh..." I groaned. My back was slumped on the damp ground, my mind fuzzy and unclear. I was dizzy and confused, and felt...odd. I didn't feel like myself; but, what could I tell? I was half asleep anyway.
"Wake up! Wake up!" someone shouted, kinda close to me. But, as far as I could tell, it was thousands of yards away. The words made no sense to my weary, dazed brain.
"Wake up!" the voice cried again, this time a little closer.
My eyes started to open groggily, my head still spinning round and round. I saw a hazy, crimson figure looking down on me, which looked oddly familiar. But, again, what did I know right then?
"Ugh..." I groaned again, this time louder. "Huh? Where am I?" I began to sit up, my vision still blurred.
The figure perked up with relief. "Finally! Your awake!" I couldn't see the figure very well, but it sounded like a boy, probably my age.
"Who are you?" I grunted while I was sitting up, my head spinning. I groaned again in pain.
"I'm Charmander, but call me Blaze," he said. "Who are you?"
"My name's Jes."
Hey, I finally got my grip.
Then, a realization hit me.
Wait, Charmander?!
"Did you say...Charmander?" I asked, my eyes widening in shock.
"Uh, yeah, dude. Char-man-der. What's your problem?"
I was speechless. I couldn't find words to speak; my brain was working too fast to make intelligent words. He did look like a Charmander!
"Wha...Whoa! You are a Charmander! But... how..." I said, my voice barely above a whisper.
That costume is pretty impressive.
Yeah, that was it! A costume.
"Why are you confused, dude? If you're a Pikachu, you shouldn't wonder why I'm a Charmander!" The kid in the Charmander costume shrugged.
"What are you talking about? I'm not a...Oh. My. Gosh! Why is my skin yellow?!" I shreiked, gazing at my tiny palm.
What's happening...
"I'm a human! Not a pikachu." I shook my head in disbelief.
Carl probally hired someone to dress me as a Pikachu. I hate Carl.
"How can you be a human when you look like a Pikachu?" the kid asked, cocking his head to one side.
"Come on! I can't just somehow fall into a world of Pokemon!" I started tugging on my body. "Huh? Why can't it come off?"
"Cause your not in a costume, dude. Your a pokemon. Get a grip!"
But...This can't happen...I can't turn into a pokemon...That means I'm going to miss my date with Lisa! How can I tell her I'm a pokemon?
"I'M NOT A POKEMON!" I yelled in rage.
I hope...
"Come on maybe you can try-" began Blaze, but a shriek interrupted him.
"HELP!!" someone screamed. A person in a Pidgeot costume came running towards Blaze and me frantically.
"Oh this is terrible! My baby pidgey fell in a hole!"
"What?!" Blaze and I yelled in unison.
"My pidgey and I were flying peacefully. Suddenly, he got very tired. So we rested for a bit. All of a sudden, the ground opened and he fell in! I tried to go in there and save my baby, but the other pokemon we're attacking me!" she explained, on the verge of tears.
"They were attacking you?!" we - again - said together.
"Yes, and I don't know why! Oh dear...What do I do?"
Blaze and I looked at each other, thinking the same thing.
Well, almost. I was thinking something like:
These actors are pretty convincing! I'll play along...
I looked over at Blaze, and he nodded his little Charmander head.
"We're ready to save your baby!"
"Oh, thank you so much. Please be carefull!"
"Thanks!" we said, smiling at her.
Then Blaze and I started running toward the fissure in the ground.
"Are you ready, Blaze?" I asked, glancing at him.
"Yes I am. Please be careful, Jes."
"Ok. Let's go!" I told him.
"Ok!"
We walked in the fissure, not knowing what adventure was in store for us.
