Chapter 3: On the Road to Fullmoon Island
OoO
Lisa was in trouble.
She didn't know when or where she fell asleep, or how she wound up in some old man's laboratory. She just remember traveling through Route 201 last night and she somehow managed to make it to Sandgem Town and this is wherein our problem lies; appearantly she was in Professor Rowan's lab, she over heard one of the assistants talking, Rowan had found her sleeping outside the lab's door step and he decided to bring her in and examine her, wondering why a Meowth would be here of all places, Meowth's are very rare in Sinnoh, heck they don't even appear in this region! Such a rare find! He had to study this Meowth.
So here Lisa was, resting on her haunches having a heated staring/glaring contest with a Chimchar. Why was she having a staring contest with the Chimchar you ask...
"... That stupid monkey looked at me funny" Lisa narrowed her eyes at the Chimchar, who was staring at Lisa intensely, hellbent on winning, there was no way some strange cat was gonna be him.
"Why don't you just give up" Chimchar growled smirking at Lisa, who hissed. Chimchar was a red-orange chimp looking Pokémon with a swirl-like symbol on it's chest, large green eyes and a small flame spurting out of it's rear. The fire monkey's are known for their playfulness, but Lisa know's this one is known for it's cockiness, ever since it gave a smart remark to her, she's been itching to scratch that smug smirk off his face.
"No way! You give up...muttermutter...stupid monkey"
"C-C'mon guys, d-don't fight...please" A timid voice spoke.
It belonged to Piplup; Piplup, was a penguin chick looking Pokémon, It has yellow feet and a light-blue body. There are two white spots on its chest that seem to resemble buttons on a suit. It also appears to have a blue cape. It has a circular, blue head with white circles around its eyes and a small, yellow beak. Piplup, was also a female and she was usually trying to keep Chimchar out of trouble but the cute little chimp, devilish imp's more like it (Lisa) alway's seems to get himself into fights with the other Pokémon that frequently come to the lab. This time he decided to start with Lisa, Piplup had to resist the urge to sigh when they began their staring contest.
"It's no use, you know their not gonna stop" a voice murmured yawning lazily as it stared at the cat and monkey rolling his eyes and shaking his head
Turtwig, the only sane, and laid-back one in the group. Turtwig resembled a turtle/tortoise and it has a prominent jawbone, much like a snapping turtle. Its green and yellow body is covered by a shell. A small seedling grows on its head. Turtwig usually tries to steer clear of Chimchar, due to the monkey's cockiness, the turtle Pokémon could usually be found sleeping or having a friendly chat with Piplup, while the two mainly ignored Chimchar. Truthfully Turtwig was sleeping only minutes ago but then Lisa came, ruining the turtle's chance at silence, plus there's the well known fact that Chimchar loved to purposely provoke other Pokémon, Lisa never stood a chance, because the girl turned cat had very short tolerance and quickly fell into Chimchar's trap. Turtwig shook it's head and sighed, before turning back towards it's little corner trying to get atleast some sleep in, before their trainers came back to pick them up.
Piplup frowned as she glanced at Lisa and Chimchar, her eyes widening at the sight. Lisa had her claws flexed ready to scratch Chimchar and said Pokémon looked ready to set the cat aflame, she could tell because when ever Chimchar would get ready to let loose on of its fire-based attacks, it's tail flame grew larger. She had to stop them, before they hurt someone... or each other! Chimchar opened it's mouth and Lisa elongated her claws, both ready to spring into action, but a comanding voce halted them.
"Chimchar! Meowth! That's enough"
Said Pokémon, including Piplup turned to see a very red faced, not to mention panting Professor Rowan as stood before them with a stern glare on his face all the Pokémon, excluding Turtwig, who was biting back a yawn, gulped and backed down, Lisa retracted her claws and Chimchar calmed itself as the flame on it's tail went back to its normal size.
"Chimchar, you know that I dislike fighting. Yet you continue to do it" Rowan reprimanded as Chimchar frowned and looked away
"Now Chimchar, Piplup and Turtwig. Lucas, Dawn and Zeke should be comming by to get you three very soon"
"Our Trainers!" Piplup squeaked, Rowan seemed to understand the question and nodded
"Yep, your trainers" the professor then glanced at Lisa "What am I going to do about you though, you seem tamed for the most part, more like a house cat I would say, yet there's no one I know who has a Meowth, so who do you belong to" Rowan stroked his white beard in thought as he stared at Lisa "A Trainer from Hoen or Kanto maybe, but I don't recall and Kanto or Hoen trainers stopping by recently." Lisa's eyes narrowed under Rowans gaze as he laughed lightly "Haha I'm sorry Meowth, am I scaring you?" Lisa opened her mouth to retort but a voice interrupted her reply.
"Professor Rowan! You in here, I've got Dawn and Zeke with me"
"Ah Yes, Lucas, bring them in!" Rowan said with a grin on his face as he turned to face his assistant
"So, are the Pokemon ready Professor?" Lisa looked past Rowan and studied the people in the lab. She recognized Dawn and Zeke from eairler as the two teens who halted her at the entrance of Lake Verity, this other boy however she didn't know. He wore a cap on his head, it was a red baret with a blue Pokeball on the side, a white shirt which trned into black right below his lower torso and blue pants and red shoes; a red scarf was wrapped around his neck and a yellow pack hung loosely on his shoulders.
"Hello hottie" Lisa thought grinning as her tail swished back and forth happily, much like a puppy, just becuase she was turned into a cat, didn't mean she doesn't retain her human nature and Lucas looked to be her age... her human age anyway Chimchar seemed to notice this and began taunting, because he knew he could get a rise out of the Meowth "What are you staring at stupid cat"
Lisa's head snapped towards the chimp and she hissed at him "You got a problem with me monkey boy, cause we can settle it. Right here and Now!"
"Bring it!" Chimchar then pounced on Lisa, who screeched and whipped out her claws; as the Chimp and the Cat tumbled in the always comical fight cloud, sounds of hissing, screeching, scratching could be heard as Piplup, and Turtwig watched, Piplup looking worried and Turtwig looking bored.
"Chimchar! Meowth!"
The two clearly ignored him.
Nya! Char! scratch, hiss, scratch
Yep, completely ignored.
"Meowth! Proffessor, where'd you get a Meowth"
Lucas.
"I found her outside the Lab this morning, I don't know where the owner is or how this Meowth got here"
Rowan.
"Umm shouldn't we do something about these two"
Dawn.
"I'm rooting for the Meowth! Yeah! Go get'm Meowth"
A chuckling Zeke. Followed by a loud smack and a scolding from Dawn.
Poor Blondie.
"Oh Yes. Meowth! Chimchar! Stop this immediately!" Proffessor Rowan had stepped between the two Pokemon trying to claw each others faces off. Chimchar had scratches and bruises here and there and a large noticeable, yet cool looking X-shaped scar across the bridge of his nose; ohh that's gonna stick with him for life, well if anyone ever asks we'll just say he had a run in with some Zangoose, and he totally kicked their asses and he got the scar as proof. To mortified to admit that a Meowth whupped his butt. Lisa was no better, sporting just as many scratches and bruises as Chimchar, no cool looking X-shaped scar though.
"Ha! In your face Stupid Monkey!" Lisa taunted from behind Rowans left hand
"Come say that to my face so I can roast ya! You dumb cat!" Chimchar growled from behind Rowan's right
"Nyaaah" Lisa pulled down her eye lid and stuck out her tongue at Chimchar who narrowed its eyes, screeched, moved around Rowan's hand and proceeded to tackle Lisa and beat her face in, but he only managed to tackle air, because Lucas had picked up Lisa and began studying her with a critical gaze.
"You like to start trouble too huh?"
"Huh?" Lisa blinked and Lucas only heard a confused 'Meowth' spill out of her mouth. "Do you know where your trainer is Meowth" before Lisa had a chance to reply, Dawn had snatched her from Lucas' arms and gushed over the Scratch Cat, hugging her tightly. Much like her mother did, Lisa had a strange sense of deja vu.
"Aww! She's so cute!"
Yep. Just like her mother.
"Can't...gasp... Breathe!...wheeze" Dawn didn't seem to realize her own strength, because she was practically crushing Lisa's lungs
"Uh, Dawn, I think your killing her" Zeke pointed out as Lisa began turning blue and was slowly loosing consciousness.
"Oh No! I'm so sorry Meowth" the 10-year-old released the vice like grip on Lisa and sat her beside Piplup as she took in huge gulps of air. Lucas and Zeke just glanced at Dawn skeptically.
"I've got it!" Rowan announced as the three pre-teens glanced in his direction, confusion filled their faces.
"What do you got professor" Zeke asked
"One of you can take the Meowth with you and find it's trainer" he explained "I'm pretty sure if you travel, you'll eventually run into him or her"
"Hey! You've gotta help me escape" Meowth hissed at Piplup and Turtwig not liking the idea of traveling with either of those three.
"I guess so..." Lucas started
"But who's gonna take Meowth" Dawn finished.
"I guess we could battle to see" Zeke murmured.
"No, it's three of us and we each have a Pokemon that has a type advantage over one another" As the three continued to discuss, who was going to have Lisa, they didn't notice that their Pokemon were plotting as well.
"What do you need to escape for" Turtwig yawned "Lucas is a nice trainer, you'd have fun with us"
"Because, I've got to get to FullMoon Island. Before the night of the Red Moon"
"Why" Piplup was curious "Zeke is a very funny guy, besides I wouldn't mind having another female in the group"
"Cause I pissed off Mew, and if I don't get there within two month's that pink cat-looking bastard is gonna rub it in my face" she muttered
"Hey, if it keeps you away from Dawn, and not being stuck on a team with you, I'll help!" Chimchar grunted (1)
"Jeeze, I don't know wether to feel thankful or annoyed" Lisa muttered narrowing her eyes at the fire monkey who stuck it's tounge out at her "Do you want me to help or not" Chimchar asked waving Lisa's comment off, said cat nodded "alright then, ready yourself" Chimchar got into an unfamilliar stance.
"Ready myself?" she murmured aloud staring at Chimchar with a weird look "Ready myself for what"
"For this!"
Lisa was caught off guard when Chimchar had tackled her to the ground and started to scratch her "Hey! Ow! What the -scratch- hell -scratch- are you doing!? -scratch- -bite-" Lisa twitched oh no he didn't! she snarled and started biting and scratch back as they kicked up another fight cloud, this one more dangerous than the first as the rolled all around the lab, wreaking havoc wherever they rolled.
"Just think of it as payback for the permenant scar you gave me on my nose!" Chimchar muttered as he bit her arm, causing Lisa to shriek and bite his leg, the monkey let out an equally shrill shriek and scatched her again.
"Chimchar! Meowth!" The two pokemon ignored the three teens and professor as they tumbled their way past them and towards the labs, convieniently open, door. Once outside and away from the group Chimchar jumped off Lisa and smirked "I suggest you get going before they come" he was panting and his cut's and bruises were much deeper than before.
Lisa sat on the ground dumbfounded "T-thanks" she muttered as Chimchar rolled his eyes "Don't mention it. Now get out of here" Lisa nodded, looking at Chimchar one more time before running off, her next destination was Jubilife City.
OoO
"Hey Chimchar, where'd Meowth go" Dawn asked as she, Piplup, Turtwig, Rowan, Lucas, and Zeke ran up to the Monkey that was lounging against a tree Chimchar shrugged and gave a(n) 'I dunno' look to Dawn, who frowned.
"Looks like Meowth escaped" she mumbled
"Looks like it" Rowan grunted, somewhat upset that it ran and he couldn't study it, shrugging it off Rowan ushured the group back inside "C'mon, I've got to give you three something" Chimchar, Piplup and Turtwig walked beside each other as they headed back towards the lab.
"Hey, do you think we'll see Lisa again" Piplup had asked
"Who knows" replied Turtwig
"Tch. Knowing that stupid cat, I bet this isn't the last we'll see of her" Chimchar murmured rubbing the bridge of his nose, only to wince slightly at his permenant cut Lisa had gave him "I'm sure of it"
Yay another complete chapter!
I liked this chapter, it was fun to write, especially the scenes with Chimchar!
1: I just think Dawn would've been better off with Chimchar, because Fire Starters rock in general. Plus my plot my story. Don't Like. Don't Read. Ahh, I adore such simple concepts.

(Yep It's a sneak peak of Chapter 4)
"What do you mean you can't use electrical attacks!" Lisa shouted ducking behind a trashcan
"I don't use electrical attacks. I hate them, that's why" he replied shrugging as he leaned up against the wall beside Lisa
"But your an electric mouse for Mew's sake! That's like a Fish not knowing how to swim" she muttered glancing around for the enemy "Your electricity would so come in handy right now"
"Too bad for the fish then, and just because I don't use electrical attacks doesn't mean I can't fight!" he declared narrowing his eyes "I can't say the same for you though"
"Shut Up! Who asked you anyway!" she growled, but Lisa knew he was right, she doesn't even know how to use any attacks except for Bite, Scratch and Growl, but those came naturally.
