Hi again! I know I said that I will only be updating once I finished 'Life in Stardom', but-
Jayden: You got writer's block, don't you?
Well, yes. Yes, I do.
Janeah: How did you know?
Jayden: It's very obvious, really. Don't you get the hints?
Janeah: Hints? What hints?
Jayden: Nevermind.
Janeah: Well, it's not my fault you're a smarty-pants!
Jayden: What? How did it come to this?
Janeah: Smarty-pants!
Jayden: Blame Jay!
Janeah: =blink= You're blaming yourself with your nickname?
Jayden: No! THAT Jay! =points at author=
Janeah: Ooooh... But why should I blame her?
Jayden: Because she gave me my brain!
Hey! Don't drag me into your fight! ...But you do have a point there. Since you are a half of my personality.
Janeah: Ooooh...
Jayden: Good. You're catching up.
Janeah: Actually... not really.
Jayden: What? How can you not?
Nevermind them. Thank you, my dear reviewers! And it has been decided! Ikarishipping, it is!
Now, I musn't keep you waiting any longer! Read on!
Johnny: redcrystaljay21 does not own Pokemon. Just me and those two over there.
It was a hot afternoon. The sun shone brightly in the sky, illuminating and reflecting off glass and making shadows behind anything. The sands lighted brightly with a flashing yellow. The beach was everything anyone would want right now, relaxing and comfortable. And not too many people were there. Just a few groups here and there. Then the tranquillity was broke off with a loud scream.
Dawn felt the cold water splash against her and saw her friends laughing at her. She looked down at her once shining baby blue sundress, which is now soaking wet and dripping. They knew she hated getting soaked in clothes.
"What the heck?" She screeched, looking at the three girls accusingly. They all giggled, seeing Dawn in this state. The dripping wet hair, soaking wet dress, and the distressed face combined looked hilarious!
Dawn turned to Misty, who was laughing the hardest, and pointed at her. "YOU!" she bellowed. Misty ran, laughing while Dawn chased her.
After a few laps around the water near the cove, Dawn felt her anger slowly lifting away. Feeling this as a game of cat and mouse, she splashed water towards Misty. And they splashed water with each other for a moment before Dawn glanced at the other two giggling girls.
She splashed them with water. "You think you can get away, huh?" She eyed them evilly, scaring both girls. "But you know you're part of the blame as well!"
May, who was getting freaked out by Dawn's evil features, countered with a splash towards Dawn. Leaf suppressed a giggle as she saw the shocked face on Dawn's face. May just stared at what she had just done.
"Oh, you're so going to get it!" Screams were heard throughout the beach. Everyone looked to the cove, then resumed to their business.
Laughter echoed around the cove, emanating from the four girls. They squeezed water from their soaking shirts and sat down when finished. All were panting from running around and screaming.
Leaf sat by the small cliff, which was pointing at the horizon. She saw the sun still high up in the sky, the clouds were covering it, but not fully. She relaxed as the sun's rays of sunshine hit her, feeling energy coursing through her entire body. Misty joined her and lay down next to her, also bathing in the sun's rays.
"Hm…" Leaf hummed in content. "I feel like jumping and running around again."
Misty looked at her with a grin. "How about we use all that energy in swimming?"
Leaf looked at her with fire in her eyes. "Are you challenging me to a swimming race?"
The orange haired girl shrugged and smirked. "So, you up for it?"
Leaf smirked and nodded. "Of course! I accept your challenge!"
Behind them, May and Dawn looked at them in interest. Everyone knew Misty was a pro when it came to swimming and they all knew that Leaf was the sporty kind of gal. Leaf already had soccer and tennis around her finger, and she had basketball games in elementary, and who said swimming could be any different? This should be an interesting match.
Both pumped up girls stood ready and prepared, looking like they'll be jumping at any moment. May stood up and leaped towards the side with a whistle no one knew how she got it.
"This will be a one on one swimming match between Misty, the mermaid of Cerulean," May gestured to the respective girl. "and Leaf, our sports olympian!" She held out her hand towards the said girl. She gestured to the big rock in the middle of the water. "This will be a two lap race! The rock will be the turning line and whoever could cross the cliff first would be the winner. Then, she raised both arms and started the countdown. "Ready, set," She looked at both girls before shouting "GO!" and slamming her hand down and blowing at her whistle.
Leaf and Misty immediately jumped down from the cliff after hearing the whistle. They hit the water and swam up at the same moment. Both began to swim towards the big rock.
"Go Leaf! Go Misty!" Dawn cheered as she saw both start swimming.
A steady competition was taking place. Both girls weren't backing down. After a few strokes, Leaf moved ahead from Misty, reaching out to the rock. She thought she saw Misty withdraw a little, but disregarded it. As Leaf touched the rock, she turned around and made her way back to the cliff, Misty tailing her.
Leaf felt the water pressure grabbing her, and her feet were slowing down. She felt tired. She saw Misty swimming faster ahead of her. Now, she knew the orange-headed girl's tactic.
Slow at first, then using the energy stored to go faster! Dawn thought as she stared at the swimming maiden in awe.
May stood by the edge of the cliff, ready to blow her whistle. She had already seen Misty swim and this tactic before. And it confirmed her suspicions when she saw Misty withdrawing a bit, and swimming faster when Leaf struggled a bit to find her pace.
May quickly blew on her whistle as Misty went to the small shade under the cliff. Dawn walked next to her and they watched Leaf making her way to Misty.
May jumped down and released her cherry-colored wings and flew next to the two. She raised Leaf from the water as Leaf spread her wings. She thanked May before flying up to a flustered Dawn.
"B-but, I thought we weren't allowed to show our wings in public!" Dawn stuttered.
Leaf glanced at the people on the beach. "They have been ignoring us. So, it's safe." Dawn just gaped at the clueless people as Leaf made way for the other two to land.
Leaf immediately made her way to Misty. "Great match." She looked at the older girl with a grin. Misty smiled and held up a hand. Leaf, getting what it meant, raised her hand and slapped it against Misty's raised hand.
"Yeah!"
A smirk adorned Leaf's face once more. "But don't think you won this race that you're gonna win in the next match!" Determination was seen in her eyes and can be heard with words.
Misty just smirked back. "Didn't think of it."
May turned from the two to see Dawn still gaping at the beach. She waved a hand in front of the younger girl's face. She sighed. "Really?" she said exasperatedly. She then realized night falling over the horizon once again, and called to the other two.
Misty slapped Dawn to bring her back to the real world, and they went to a resort, labelled 'Beach Cove Resort'. They went up the elevator and went to their room. They all shared one room, since the room was big enough to even hold a small house. After watching TV, eating dinner, and dressing up, they went to sleep.
"Have you spotted any yet?"
"Yes, we have, sir!" A grunt saluted and faced the boss.
"Well, where?" the boss inquired.
The grunt fearfully stuttered, "We d-don't know, sir."
"What?" the boss shouted as the grunt jumped. "How do you not know where you spotted it?"
The grunt cringed and answered with fear in his voice, "We only saw the radio waves signal to us that there are some who are around the area, sir."
He froze up when the boss eyed him and sighed when the boss turned to a large speaker on the corner of the room. The speaker crackled before sending out clear sentences.
"What is it?" The boss looked at the speaker impatiently.
"Sir, we have spotted targets around the beach!" The speaker spoke with no sign of hesitance.
Something clicked on the boss's brain. "Targets?"
"Yes, targets, sir. Multiple. A group, sir."
"Really? Have you found their specific location?"
"Yes, sir."
"Good." The boss smiled evilly. "Move out now."
"Yes, sir." Then, the speaker crackled off. The grunt felt relief wash over him. That was a close one, he thought. Then, he cringed when the boss looked at him again.
"Start the preparations. You are to find the targets' profiles," he commanded the shaking grunt.
"Y-yes, sir!" The grunt quickly walked out.
"Really, sir? We have found targets?" A voice rang out behind the boss.
"Yes, my boy." The figure behind him grinned mischievously.
"I doubt you're going to let us go, right?" Another voice added.
The boss smiled. Both figures already knew the answer. And the first voice whined, "Why? I wanna get into action right now!"
"Patience, boys. You're going to have your fun." The whining voice stopped while the other smiled knowingly.
"Of course, sir."
Oooh... The evil people come in... What will happen next?
Jayden: =raises an eyebrow= Aren't you supposed to know that?
Ye- Hey! You are a party pooper, you know?
Jayden: Of course.
Janeah: Don't you think the chapter was kind of a filler?
Jayden: And it's short.
Yeah. I know. And still, no boys.
Johnny: What about us? =pulls Jayden close to him=
You're not in the story. Just in the author's notes.
Johnny and Janeah: Aww...
And we're going to have information about fairies in this story starting on this chapter. Starring our very own JAYDEN!
Jayden: =sweatdrops= Ahem.
In this world, fairies' wings are sensitive to water. Some fairies can control their wings in the water but some can't. It's very dangerous to have a fairy child wander around the water, so fairies live in forests, and in one certain place.
Janeah: You forgot the classes of the fairies!
Jayden: That's 'till next chapter.
Janeah: ... A talking encyclopedia is my partner...
Jayden: H-hey!
Anyways! My poll's still up. And I still need some votes for it. And starting now, I will update this story if I can't update the other one or having writer's block.
And next...
All: REVIEW!
Janeah and Jayden: The more, the merrier!
