With Kana
Kana was furious; whoever bothered to kidnap her and see how she would react to being stuck in "pokemon land" was obviously sick in the head. At the moment Kana was laying down on the plush grass, continuously throwing up a pokeball in the air, and catching it before it hit her face. All she really wanted was to see Misa, May, and Nozomi then get the hell out of here. Unfortunately she had yet to figure out where she was. She would test the pokeballs out, and found that they would enlarge and shrink when she hit the button, just like in the game. If memory served her right she would have about 15 great balls, 10 ultra balls, and 19 regular pokeballs. However…there was this one other colored pokeball, which was black and white in color, and held a different design than the rest.
That was when her attention was alerted to another rustle from the same bush; however she calmed when it stopped. Looking away, her attention was alerted again when she heard some…munching? Confused, she looked back to the bush again, only to see in front of it, was a Nidoran…
The blue pokemon had yet to notice Kana with her stillness, and was instead intent on munching on some kind of spice it had found. The girl couldn't believe her eyes, before her was a living breathing, pokemon, and it looked rather real.
She blinked, and blinked, and blinked; wondering if the Nidoran would disappear if she closed her eyes, but when she opened them again the pokemon was still there, hunched over and munching. Finally Kana slowly got up, and the Nidoran seemed to have noticed for she snapped her head up and ran back into the bush. Kana slowly let out a breath, and she finally noticed how hard she was clenching the pokeball. She finally realized she was holding the black one, and it slightly gleamed in the sunlight.
Then another rustle and without warning a Rhyhorn came charging out of the bush, and it looked menacingly at Kana. It huffed and threw its head side to side, as if ready to charge. Quickly she looked towards the pokeball in her hand, was it possible for her to catch it before it attacked her?
Then the Rhyhorn came charging towards her with a menacing roar. Kana's body shook in horror and, determined, she threw the pokeball. But, instead of going to the Rhyhorn in an attempt to catch it, it instead stopped in mid-air, and a bright light let out another pokemon…a…Growlithe!
The Growlithe landed on the ground and looked towards the Rhyhorn with a menacing growl, the charging pokemon then transfixed its attention towards Growlithe, instead of Kana. The dark pokemon growled, and dodged the hit the Rhyhorn was aiming towards it.
Kana gaped as the Growlithe lithely dodged each attack the Rhyhorn was sending. Although that's all it kept doing dodging, and the Rhyhorn looked determined to win, not aiming to stop anytime soon. That's when the Growlithe gave an annoyed growl her way and nudge his head towards the slightly panting Rhyhorn.
Kana blinked, and gasped, 'He wants me to command him to attack.'
That's when the Rhyhorn noticed Growlithe's distracted state and charged again. Quickly Kana commanded, "Growlithe dodge then body slam!"
And obediently Growlithe did as told, dodging the charging pokemon and once in the air slammed its body hard against Rhyhorn.
Rhyhorn roared in pain, and limped away. Growlithe had this oddly accomplished look on its face, making it seem more human than possible. Rhyhorn glared, but understood that if it were to continue attacking there was a possibility he would lose. So, instead, the Rhyhorn limped away into the long grass, leaving the two.
Kana looked from where the Rhyhorn had disappeared to, and then back to Growlithe. The fire dog pokemon was scratching the back of its ear with his hind leg. He continued to do that even when Kana took to sitting next to him, and then slowly met a hand to touch its head. Growlithe noticed this and raised his head to meet her hand, begging to be petted. Amazed Kana did so, and then Growlithe growled in content.
"You did a great job." Kana praised, and the fire dog looked up at her, and then licked her finger. She laughed and got up, Growlithe following her. She got her stuff, and started to walk who knows where, with Growlithe, her now loyal companion, in tow.
"Let's find out where we are, shall we?" Kana inquired, looking around the grassy planes, mindful of any wild pokemon.
With Nozomi
She growled, where the hell was she supposed to go? Continuously she looked through her bag, and to her disdain, found no map whatsoever. So instead she took to going some random direction, which just seemed to lead her to some other location all together. She sighed, "Damnit, damnit, damnit."
She held the bag with all the pokeballs, she didn't know why, but she felt that is she didn't, she might regret it later. Slowly she realized her surroundings looked…oddly…familiar. Cringing she knew why she recognized everything, she's been there before. Sighing she leaned against the tree trunk and rubbed at a temple annoyed as hell. That's when she heard a thump, as if something was landing beside her. Looking down she saw a fruit of some kind, but before she could even bend down to pick it up, a rustle to her right alerted her. And when she looked up, she came to see, a rather hungry looking Scyther.
She gulped and backed up, only to accidentally step on the fruit like thing, which she horribly found to be very, very delicate. For once she stepped on it did it crush and the juice from it squished out, even making a disgusting noise. Nozomi gasped and looked down, immediately knowing that was a bad thing.
When hearing a growl of annoyance, she looked up to see the Scyther annoyed, and apparently glaring at her. With her semi-quick thinking she dug into the pokeball bag, and pulled out….a black one?
Confused she was about to reach for another one when the Scyther launched at her in anger, horrified she threw it, and instead of bouncing on the Scyther and catching it, the pokeball instead stopped short, and in a sweep of light, two fur balls were then launched at Scyther's face. The offending pokemon stopped, trying to get the two yellow fur balls off its face. Nozomi didn't even know what they were, but it seemed that one of them bit Scyther's ear for it howled in anger. Then the bug pokemon threw its head to the side, causing one of the yellow balls of fur landed on the grassy plain and barked out, "Pey!"
The other fur ball still on the Scyther's face, jumped off of the bug pokemon's forehead, causing the pokemon to stumble back slightly.
"Chu!" the other one barked, landing next to the other one.
"Pey…Chu…pichu!" Nozomi said in realization, looking at the two pichu's, twins she presumed. One of the twins looked up at her, and smiled in delight, "Pey!"
But with it distracted it didn't notice one of Scyther's deadly blades to almost come in contact with its head, and so Nozomi shouted, "Pey watch out!"
The pichu named Pey looked up and dodged the incoming attack. Chu glared at the bug pokemon annoyed, "Chu!"
However it kept up as this, the two twin brothers dodging with Scyther mad hacking at them. That's when her pokemon playing instincts kicked in, 'You have to say an attack.'
"Chu, Thunder shock!" Nozomi commanded, and Chu did so accordingly. The wave of electricity shot off it's small body and hit the Scyther in a critical hit. The Scyther yelped in pain, and dropped to the floor in pain. Nozomi watched with wide eyes, as she literally saw steam coming of off its body. She could see it's harsh breathing, and that's when it hit her, it was paralyzed!
'Nozomi this is your chance! Catch it!' Nozomi thought, and hurriedly she grabbed an ultra ball, just to be safe, and threw it at the Scyther. It hit the pokemon and bounced back, capturing it with a flash of light. The pokeball only shook once when the light turned dormant. Nozomi gaped, as Pey and Chu sniffed at the pokeball. Slowly she walked up to them, and picked up the pokeball. And while she was bending down did Pey and Chu jump up on her outstretched arm to rest on her shoulders. She looked at them alarmed, however they only smiled and nudged their heads against her.
Looking a little disgruntled she noticed that she didn't know where to put the pokeball now, most certainly not back in the bag…
"You know I'm impressed, I've been after that little bugger for a bit now. But a fair catch is a fair catch, even if I'm a bit jealous." A new voice alerted behind her, and Nozomi jumped up and turned around alarmed, the pichu twins holding onto her hair desperately. There stood a boy; 14 years old perhaps, with brown spiked hair, a dark blue long sleeved shirt, jeans, and orange and black boots. The one thing that stood out though was his yellow and green ying yang pendant.
'Now why does he look so familiar?' Nozomi thought in confusion, and her confusion must've shown for Gary laughed in a semi-friendly manner.
"Sorry, where are my manners? Allow me to introduce myself. The name's Gary Oak, and who might you be?"
With May
"Hey mom I think she's waking up!"
"No need to yell Ash! Oh poor girl, I'll go get some water."
May then heard a rustle of clothing, and the sound of footsteps walking away. Her eyes shifted under her eyelids, who were these people, where was she? She groaned and tried to move her hand. She heard some rustling and felt a hand go to her forehead. She groaned again, and opened her eyes slowly, only to come face to face with concerned coal colored eyes. She gasped in surprise and the eyes blinked in surprise and backed off.
"S-sorry about that, you just, well you…" Ash stuttered to come up with an explanation.
May stared at him wide eyed, what was Ash doing at her bed side. He again tried to stutter out an explanation, but then failed to come up with a response. But he didn't necessarily have to when his mother suddenly came in through the bedroom door.
"Oh dear, are you alright? When Ash brought you in and told me you had fainted I was scared that you might've been hurt." Delia Ketchum gushed over the girl, placing a bandage here, putting a thermometer in her mouth, putting some itching cream on her arm, and then shoving a teaspoon full of cough medicine into her mouth, amazingly avoiding the thermometer.
Now May was slightly choking at the unneeded medical attention. Swallowing down the cough medicine, which practically killed her taste buds, managed out, "U-umm…Deli-Miss, this isn't needed really!"
May mentally scolded herself for almost uttering out Delia's name.
"Oh nonsense, you're too skinny for your own good. Oh I know! Once you feel better you'll need to eat, and after that you can go speak to Professor Oak, hmm….you're temperature seems normal…" Ms. Ketchum said as she surveyed the thermometer, which caused May to sigh. Ms. Ketchum then proceeded to leave the room, leaving Ash and May alone.
"So…you're a pokemon trainer right? I mean seeing that bag of pokeballs you must be." Ash said, trying to strike up a conversation. However May looked at him weird, but before she could question him Ms. Ketchum yelled from out of the room, "Ash go to Professor Oak that we'll see him soon!" Ash sighed and did as told, giving May a quick smile before leaving. May looked at his retreating back as he closed the door behind him.
This confused May, this Ash…was way more quiet than the one featured in the TV show. Though that's when her bag, which was situated at the end of the bed, caught her attention. She leaned in and grabbed it, and looked through it. Coming across the money, the clothes, and the bag of pokeballs he was talking about, along with the small notebook, May was slightly disturbed. 'Where did all this stuff come from?'
However she too questioned the oddly colored pokeball she came across, and curious she threw the pokeball, expecting it to land on the floor pathetically, but instead the pokeball stopped in mid-air, and when the light dispersed left a rather beautiful Vulpix. The fire pokemon seemed dazed for a moment, but when it spotted May on the bed it jumped up and situated itself on her lap, as if it belonged there. It curled around itself and before she knew it fell asleep. That all happened in the span of about 3 minutes, and she was shocked to say the least.
She looked back at the pokeball that had returned to her hand, and decided to put it back in the bag. She stuffed all the things back in the backpack, without waking the Vulpix, and laid it down on the floor. Looking down at the sleeping creature she hesitantly rubbed at its head, and in turn the pokemon almost purred in delight.
May smiled and continued to rub the pokemon, which snuggled deeper into her lap. That's when the bedroom door opened, and in came a smiling Ms. Ketchum.
"Well dear foods ready and, oh! Why you have a pokemon? My son is bound to be jealous of you." Ms. Ketchum said looking at the slumbering Vulpix.
"Oh, well wait, I've never told you who I am yet have I? Oh silly me! My name's Delia Ketchum, you can call me Ms. Ketchum. And my son Ash Ketchum, you saw him earlier." Ms. Ketchum explained, even though May didn't need the introduction she smiled.
"My name's May, Ms. Ketchum." May politely replied.
"Oh May what a nice name! Well food is ready, so whenever you feel like it just come on down stairs." And gleefully Ms. Ketchum left May with her pokemon.
May hesitantly looked down at the Vulpix, breathing in content.
"Hey," May started, shaking the pokemon a little, "You hungry? There's food." The Vulpix blinked, and then slowly got up and stretched in her lap.
"Pix." Was all it said as it jumped off the bed. May smiled and opened the bedroom door, letting the Vulpix go out first.
With Misa
Misa stared, and stared, and stared some more…
Brock looked at her a little disturbed, not use to someone staring so much.
"U-umm…I know I'm a gym leader and all, but I just didn't know that someone would gawk at me for so long." Brock managed to say, while Misa snapped out of her stupor.
"O-oh I'm sorry. It's just that…um…well…" Misa had no clue on how to explain her predicament, oh she could only imagine what she would say, 'I'm terribly sorry Brock, but I'm from a different dimension you see. And I have no clue on what to do, mind helping me out?'…not very likely.
"If you're a pokemon trainer there's no need to be scared, even though I won't necessarily go easy on you or anything." Brock somewhat reassured, though that didn't help Misa at all.
"W-well, um, I'm not a pokemon trainer." Misa managed to say, now owning one single pokemon…or so she thought.
Brock looked at her in shock, well as much as he could with his eyes looking well…like his eyes. Misa looked nervous, not knowing how to take in Brock's reaction to hear she wasn't a pokemon trainer.
"Well then, I'll change that." And then Brock turned on his heel, slowly taking Misa's hand in his large one. Misa looked down at their intertwined hands first, then back up at Brock.
"B-But, what are you planning on doing?" Misa questioned. Brock looked back at her, then continued walked to who-knows-where.
"I'm going to help you catch your first pokemon." Brock stated proudly, however Misa shook with fear. That was something she couldn't grasp, wasn't meeting a real live pokemon her dream? Or…was it just the pokemon that made her nervous?
Looking up back at Brock she affirmatively thought, 'Nope, definitely not the pokemon.'
"Oh by the way, what's your name?" Brock suddenly asked, and Misa looked up at the back of his head. "M-Misa…my name's Misa." She stuttered out…and after a few seconds something else popped into her mind.
"But then, who's going to take care of the gym?" Misa asked, and Brock didn't have to think twice about it.
"No one ever comes on Mondays, and besides Joey has it all under control. And if there's someone there they'll just have to wait until I get there." And to her horror it all made perfect sense. So, she didn't bother to continue her excuses, but instead let Brock drag her deeper into the forest.
That's when he stopped suddenly, and that caused Misa to stop.
"Brock what-"
But the boy just merely put up a finger next to his lip, signaling her to be quiet. Misa shut up and watched as he pointed to something up ahead. Following his sight she soon saw what made him stop, and almost gasped in surprise. There stood a proud looking and beautiful Pidgeotto, ruffling it's feathers and obviously looking for food on the ground.
Misa gaped at it as Brock thought of a plan.
"Do you have any pokeballs?" Brock whispered towards her, and she looked up at him in surprise. She was about to say no, when she remembered she hadn't checked her bag yet, and that there was a strong possibility that there were some pokeballs in there. Taking off her backpack she unclipped the sleeping bag and held it out to Brock to hold, which he did, and rifled through her backpack.
She ignored the clothes and the notebook, and the weird pouch filled with money, but instead found a bag holding, from the outside, large sphere shaped object. Sticking a hand in she felt one pokeball and immediately brought it out.
"Got it!" she stated proudly and he smiled in somewhat relief, only his face took to one in curiosity.
"Hey, that's an interesting looking pokeball…never seen one like it." Confused she looked at the pokeball in her hand as well, only to notice it was black, and white, and had the most unusual design she had ever seen. Thinking quickly she said, "Oh! That's because my father makes pokeballs, he must've made this for me." Brock looked at her for more than a second, before just wordlessly handing her back her sleeping bag.
"Umm…okay." Brock finally said when her sleeping bag was attached to her backpack, and was regularly situated on her shoulders.
She held the pokeball in her hand unsurely, looking from the Pidgeotto to Brock, and back and forth again. Noticing her confused state, Brock smirked, "Well I highly suggest you through it now, since the Pidgeotto has yet to notice us."
Nodding, Misa set back her arm, and then through the pokeball in the air. However what shocked them both, was when the pokeball stopped in mid-air and in a disperse of light let out an Eevee. Misa gaped at the small and cute fox like pokemon as it shook it's head in confusion. That's when the Pidgeotto noticed the Eevee that had materialized beside itself. The bird pokemon placed itself in an attack, ready for anything. The Eevee did so as well, cautious. Misa continued to gap, when the Pidgeotto suddenly let out a dangerous wing attack, and the Eevee expertly dodged. But the after wind hit the other two full on, blowing up some dust and flapping their clothes. Misa coughed and so did Brock, however they heard a cry as they both saw Eevee get knocked down.
"Well do something!" Brock shouted back at her. There was some wind, and the Eevee hurriedly got back up. Seeing the Pidgeotto about to attack, Misa then yelled, "Eevee quick attack!"
And the Eevee did as told, hurriedly hitting the Pidgeotto, making it slightly lose its balance. When seeing the Pidgeotto lose its balance, Misa quickly said, "Now Bite!"
Eevee viciously bit at one of the bird's wing and the Pidgeotto stumbled back more, a limp wing at its side. The Eevee looked victorious and the Pidgeotto looked worn. That's when Brock finally said, "Here, throw this." And he handed her a great ball.
Clutching the pokeball in her hand she then finally threw it, and no pokemon came out this time, and it hit the Pidgeotto successfully, catching it and storing it in the great ball. Misa held a breath, along with Brock, as the great ball moved, and then finally stopped.
Misa let out the breath and smiled in relief, so did Brock. But that's when Brock remembered something, "I thought you said you didn't own any pokemon."
The girl was about to say she didn't, when she looked back at the Eevee looked at the pokeball curiously, lightly tapping it with its paw. "Oh…my father must've put it in…" she slowly said, not believing the words coming out of her mouth.
"Well, are you going to name it?" Brock asked looking with slight amusement at the Eevee.
"I would, if I knew whether it was a boy or a girl." Misa replied, and she watched with amazement when Brock just suddenly picked up the Eevee and observed its….well….yeah…
"Well, he's a well…he." Brock said bluntly, putting Eevee back down.
She thought about it, but then decided against it. "Eevee will do just fine."
End
Animegrrl: good, bad, anything in between?
Misa: she would like to know
Nozomi: course she would
