The Karp Chronicles

Chapter Two: Court is in Session

LAST TIME:

Wingull looked at Magikarp with a newfound respect…and fear, and Magikarp tried to smile weakly, "Uh…I guess we found your Strong Flying Pokemon, right?"

A wise fish once told me, "Don't let haste rule your decisions, or the path you take will lead you to doom." At least, it was something like that. I can't really remember. The point is, though, that I guess you're supposed to think your decisions through before you do them. Er…Think before you act.

I think there are a few exceptions to this saying. For one, I doubt that wise fish was ever called to the Legends court. Two…well, actually its only really that legends court thing. Even so, I didn't have time to think things through. I had to get to vermillion city as fast as possible.

Sigh…Let's hope there's exceptions to this Saying. Otherwise, I might be in trouble.

"So…when did you learn to read human language?" Wingull asked Magikarp as he soared above the water, skimming over the top of it. Magikarp was clutched in its talons, dragging him down. Wingull teetered above the water as Magikarp wiggled slightly, "Hold still! It's hard enough flying while carrying you, can you at least stop moving!"

Magikarp stopped moving quickly, "Sorry, but this is faster. If I got caught up in a strong current, I might never make it to Vermillion."

"Whatever." Wingull strained, "So where'd you learn to read it?"

"I have a lot of spare time." Magikarp gasped as he was plunged into the water, before Wingull managed to pull up with some difficulty, "I found a bunch of human garbage and wreckage below the seas. It took awhile, but I managed to learn to read it."

"Oh no…" Wingull moaned and Magikarp's attention was brought ahead, where a flock of Wingulls was heading towards them. When they reach Magikarp, they wheeled around so that they surrounded them, "It's my flock." Wingull said.

The biggest Wingull soared to them, "So…did you finally decide to eat that Magikarp friend of yers, or are you his servant now?" That caused laughs to ripple through the flock and Wingull scowled, "No."

Some of the Wingulls muttered furiously, and Magikarp picked up one of them saying angrily, "I bet that gold would taste good too…" He suddenly felt very unsafe.

"Then why are you lugging this…this fish around like a Lapras?" The leader scowled and Wingull struggled to float up while he talked, "Because…He's been summoned to the…Legend's court!"

The lead Wingull remained silent for a second, before him and the rest of the flock broke into laughter.

"You expect us to believe that dead weight is called into the Legends court? Ha!" The other Wingulls laughed raucously before the leader glared at Magikarp, "You've brought that fish outta his home, now it's time to dine!"

Magikarp began to struggle franticly as Wingull tried to stay in flight. The other Wingulls were soared towards Magikarp, mouths open, when suddenly a rough voice bellowed out through the sky, "ENOUGH!"

The Wingulls immediately ceases, floating away from Wingull, who was still moving forwards with Magikarp in tow, and a large Pelipper soared up.

"Elder!" The Wingulls in the flock cried while Wingull yelped, "Old Pelip- I mean, elder Pelipper, it's true! Please don't eat him! He has been summoned to the Legend's court!" Wingull pleaded, still dragging Magikarp with him.

Pelipper gave a great sigh as it sidled up next to Wingull, the rest of the flock following after, "I believe you Wingull. I know it for truth. Dragonite contacted me shortly after I told you I had seen him. I was the one who told him where Magikarp could be found. Wingull, you are strong and brave, but your strength has worn out, you couldn't possibly carry Magikarp any farther. Give him to me, he'll arrive in Vermillion much faster, and safer."

Wingull kept moving forwards, still looking hesitantly at Pelipper, before he soared up to Pelipper, dropping Magikarp into the bird's mouth. Magikarp gave a shout, but quickly found himself perfectly fine in the mouth.

"Now, Wets Go!" Pelipper gargled and Magikarp gave a surprised shout from within the mouth. Wingull settled himself behind Pelipper, and the flock behind him as the set out over the sea.

"Land Ho!" A voice called out, waking Magikarp from his slumber. He nudged open Pelipper's mouth and peeked out to see a bustling seaport. Pelipper soared down to the ground outside the town, the rest of the flock wheeling about above. Wingull landed next to him.

"We're here." Pelipper said and Magikarp flopped out of the mouth onto the dirt road, amazed.

"Wow! Dirt! This is awesome! Everything is so big!" Magikarp gasped and Pelipper looked up at his flock, "I must leave you, I dislike land. Wingull, you may remain with Magikarp if you wish, keep him safe." With that, Pelipper soared off into the air. Magikarp gave a slight hop, "Let's go, and look for the transport."

Wingull nodded, but before they could move, a whisper came from the bushed next to them, "Ey. Ey. Yous, come here!"

Wingull flapped slightly in the air, and him and Magikarp moved to the bushed, where a strange light colored pokemon, whose eyes were clenched closed, and it sat in the bushes, unmoving.

"Y-Yea?" Magikarp asked and the creature remained still, before the voice whispered again, "I sensed ya. Are you tha Magikarp? Ta one sent to ta court?"

"Um…yea, me and Wingull just got here…are…you dead?" Magikarp asked and the Abra's ear twitched, "Do I's look deads to ya?"

Wingull's feathers stiffened, "Yeah actually, you do."

"Oh…" The voice spoke in their heads, "Well, I'm nots. I'm only asleeps." The Abra said, "Now do's you wanna go, or wat?"

"Yeah! Take us there!" Wingull said excitedly, and Magikarp looked at him, "Do you have to be so excited?"

"Why not? We get to go to the Legend's court!" Wingull said and the Magikarp snorted slightly in it's sleep, "Alright, alright, enough bickering. I'll sends you guys right now."

With a tickling, prickling sensation, Magikarp and Wingull suddenly glowed brightly, before disappearing in a flash. The Abra left behind sighed. Its ear twitched again as it spoke to itself, "If dat's ta guy who's supposed to saves us… then we're screwed."

Magikarp appeared in a small dark room; so dark he couldn't see anything but a few feet ahead of him. Wingull was nowhere to be found. He flopped in a circle, looking around, and couldn't help but feel as though hundreds of eyes were watching him. Suddenly a voice boomed out to him, "Magikarp. You have been summoned to the Legend's court. Do you accept what comes?"

"Uh…yeah?"

"Good." Light shone in a circle ahead of Magikarp, giving a shaded outline to a pokemon standing at the far end. It leaned forwards to peer at Magikarp, and it's face came into view.

"I am Mewtwo." It spoke and as it did, it flickered slightly.

"Are you really here?" Magikarp asked, trying to keep fear out of his voice. He wasn't sure if he was succeeding.

"No. I remain in my home in the unknown dungeon. I was the only one available to come to this court. All the other…legendaries…were busy." Mewtwo spoke, slight disgust emerged when he said legendaries.

"What is this about? I heard the Dragonite mention Arceus." Magikarp said and the Mewtwo's eyes flashed dangerously, "Don't speak of him here. That is…blasphemy. I don't know why you are here, or why an insignificant Magikarp like you was chosen to attend this court, or why I was chosen to be here, but I was given one message to pass on to you." Mewtwo spoke, his voice growing angrier at every word, "Seek Moltres."

Magikarp nodded franticly, "Seek Moltres, got it."

"Now, now Mewtwo, don't be so serious." A voice spoke from next to Mewtwo, and Magikarp could barely make the shape of small pokemon.

"I'm sorry Celebi, but I am busy. I don't have time to baby-sit a Magikarp." Mewtwo said angrily and its image flickered again.

The Celebi, still in the shadows, glowed slightly, "He has the potential, why else would he have been chosen by him. It's not luck Mewtwo."

Mewtwo remained silent as Celebi vanished, before it raised one hand, "Seek Moltres." Those three fingers came together and Magikarp felt that familiar prickling sensation.

And I do not cope well with trouble. I'm a Magikarp; it's in my blood.
