Lance's Pokemon Saga: Making a Splash in Cerulean!
"So this Cerulean City, Not overly Impressive." Lance said, looking at the city around him. It had been three day's, and finally they had made it to just outside Cerulean City's Pokecenter. Lance smiled and Walked inside with Hitmonchan, who looked a litle ragged around the edges. He took a tray from the front desk and set his Pokeballs and Hitmonchan up on the desk.
"Hello?" He called. After a few minutes Nurse Joy walked up to him.
"Can you heal my Pokemon please?" Lance asked. She nodded and took the tray.
"You can wait over there, it'll be about fifteen or twenty minutes." Lance nodded and sat down in a chair. Suddenly he noticed exactly how dirty his clothes were, he hadn't bothered to change into any of his new clothes for day's. He grabbed his blue bag and rushed to a Bathroom after much searching. Five minutes later he walked out wearing his Black overcoat, black pants and shirt, his black Parks' Gym Hat, and some black fingerless gloves. He smiled and suppressed a chuckle as he reached into one of the Overcoats pockets and pulled out a pair of Visor like sunglasses, then slipped them on. He walked over to his satchel and pulled out a book markes POKEMON GUIDE. He looked up Cerulean City.
"Here we go. Cerulean Gym, The Gym leaders are the Three Sensational Sisters Daisy, Violet, and the oldest Rose. Rumored fourth youngest sister, The Pokemon they use are water oriented. Rose carries a Seaking, Staryu, and a Tentacruel, Violet has a Goldeen and a Seel, and Daisy carries A Seadra and Two Starmies." Lance read off, then closed the book and leaned back, waiting for Hitmonchan and the others, eventually drifting off to sleep.
"Chan?(Lance?)" Hitmonchan said quietly, carrying Lance's two Pokeballs. He reached a hand over and shook his shoulder.
"...Snzzrrt......noooo mommy I dun' wanna go t' th' Zoo, The Mankey's Call me names........." Lance mumbled. Hitmonchan shook him a little harder.
"......Gflbl........hmm? Aquareum? nooo I dun wana go der either, the Magikarp make fun of me!....." Hitmonchan sighed and picked up a Pokeball and whacked him in the head with it.
"CHAN CHAN!(WAKE UP SLEEPING UGLY!)" Hitmonchan cried. Lance bolted up and fell over onto his butt.
"GREAT GOOGILY MOOGILY! Hey, who called me Sleeping ugly?" Lance looked around frantically. Hitmonchan shrugged and handed him his Pokeballs.
"Chan mon chan chan hit chan mon.(You didn't answer when Nurse Joy called you, so I took the Pokeballs and went looking.)" Hitmonchan Explained as Lance put the Pokeballs in his Satchel.
"Good idea. So, what say we mosey on over to the Cerulean Gym and get us another badge?" Lance said, getting up.
"Chan. Chan hit mon chan.(Sure. You look very cool in that getup.)" Hitmonchan grinned crookedly. Lance smiled and started walking. Twenty minutes later he was standing outside Cerulean Gym, which looked rather gaudy.
"Chan chan.(Looks Gaudy.)
"Hey, they can decorate it with Tauros Hides and Cement it in place with Melted Ditto's for all I care, as long as they have a badge." Lance shrugged, walking inside. He saw Aquariums built into walls for viewing, which was kind of neat, and their was a front desk with Blue hair.
" 'Scuse me, I'm here for a Badge." He said, walking up to her.
"Ooo Aren't you the cute one?" SHe giggled. Lance sighed and turned to Hitmonchan, who shrugged.
"Great, an airhead." Lance muttered.
"I'm Rose, I'll take you to the Battle Arena Mr.....?" She offered, getting up. Lance gulped and regretted his comment immediately.
"Lance and That's very hospitable of you Miss Rose." Lance smiled, following her with Hitmonchan by his side.
"Oh! Lance as in the Dragon Trainer from the Elite Four?"
"NO." Lance said. Minutes later they were what looked like a giant Swimming area with a humongous pool and a kind of stadium seating arrangement off to the side. The Pool had various platfoms through out it's water. Lance saw three girls playing with various Pokemon.
"Oh Girls! We have a challenger!" Rose called. Immediately the Girls recalled their Pokemon and started to climb out of the pool, wearing only bathing suits. Lance looked to Hitmonchan, who was staring at the girls and had his mouth open with his tongue rolled out about three feet onto the floor. Lance quietly started to Whistle, then Stomped on Hitmonchans Tongue. Hitmonchan yelped in pain and rolled his tongue back in.
"Lance, this is Violet." She pointed to one with green hair.
"This is Daisy." She pointed to a blonde.
"And Misty." The small Redhead crossed her arms.
"Nice to meet you ladies." Lance tipped his hat in respect.
"I ,like, love your fashion sense!" Daisy said.
"Yeah, Black goes well with you, it brings out your hair." Violet giggled.
"I think the Sunglasses are a little much." Misty said. Lance looked at her a minute, thinking he'd seen her somewhere else before...buit he wasn't quite sure.
"Well, that's your opinion Misty." Lance said, then looked at Hitmonchan, who yet again was staring and had his tongue rolled out on the floor. Before Lance could stomp on it, A mallet beat him to it, causing Hitmonchan to screech in pain, then fall down holding his hurt tongue. Lance looked and saw the owner of the Mallet was none other than Misty.
"It's not polite to stare at women!" She said matter of factly. Lance kneeled next to Hitmonchan.
"Out of all four of them, she scares me the most." Lance whispered. He got up and turned around, only to get a heel slammed across his head and sent his hat and Glasses flying, and a mallet blow that knocked him to the ground.
"It's not polite to Talk about a person behind her back either!" Misty huffed as Lance groaned in pain.
"MISTY!" Rose hissed, grabbing the mallet away from her. Lance moaned, tenderly rubbing his now bruised face.
"His Pokemon was staring at us!"
"That was, like, no reason to hit him!"
"Help.....meee.." Lance moaned.
"You do this to every trainer that stares at us!"
"He was talking about me behind my back!"
"Man...in pain..here! Need...Help! S.O.S!"
"You overeacted Misty!"
"I was not!"
"I want you to apologize."
"HELLO?" Lance yelled, then moaned as that made his head hurt worse. He felt A hand help him up, then he opened his eye's to see Misty getting scolded by her sisters.
"Fine fine." Misty walked over to Lance.
"I am sorry I beat you senseless Lance." SHe muttered. Lance looked at her, then clenched his fist.
"I'm sorry too."
"For what?" Just as she finished Lance Swung his fist, connecting solidly with her nose. She crumpled to the floor unconscious.
"THAT." Lance said, then lurched a bit, his head still throbbing. He turned and saw Misty's sisters staring at Lance.
"What? She had it coming. I don't care if she was a girl, boy, or a frickin' Pokemon." Lance snapped, rubbing his head in pain.
"Well, like, duh. But No-one has ever punched her out." Daisy said, amazed.
"Yeah, usually that just gets her angry, and we end up calling an ambulance." Violet added. Rose shook her head and handed Lance his hat and sunglasses.
"Here." Then the sisters noticed the writing.
"Oh! Is there,like, a new Gym opening up?" Daisy asked. Lance shook his head.
"Uhhg. Can we just battle now before she wakes up?" Lance pointed to Misty, who had a trickle of blood going down her slightly broken nose.
"Okay then. As the senior Trainer here, I'll battle you. Sisters, Why don't you get Misty to the Hospital to get her nose taken care of?" Rose turned to her sisters. They nodded and picked Misty up off the floor.
"Three Pokemon each." Rose explained. They we're both on different sides of the Pool. Rose was nearest to the door while Lance and Hitmonchan we're back towards the wall.
"Fine with me! Let's rock!" Lance cried enthuiasticly. Rose picked up a Pokeball the same time Lance did.
"Rose Sends out...Seaking!" She cried, throwing the Pokeball into the water. As the Red and Black striped Seaking appeared, the Pokeball returned to her.
"Alright then. SLICE AND DICE SCYTHER!" Lance hollered, throwing Scyther's Pokeball onto one of the platforms. Scyther slashed the air a couple times.
"A bug Versus a Water pokemon? This won't take Long. Seaking, Use your Horn attack!" Rose cried. Seaking swam through the water and launched itself at Scyther, it's horn pointing straight at him. Scyther Jumped above the attack and landed again.
"Seaking, Use your Water gun!" Seaking rose it's face above the water and shot a stream of water at Scyther, who blocked with his blades.
"Scyther, AGILITY!" Lance cried. Scyther jumped from platform to platform, the Seaking trying to nail it with it's Water gun.
"Mon chan!(GO SCYTHER!)"
"You've trained It well! Seaking, Tackle!" Rose cried. Seaking Jumped back and forth, trying to nail Scyther with Little success.
"SCYTHER SLASH!" Lance cried. As Seaking jumped again, Scyther moved to the side and slashed it across it's side, then it made a big splash and lay there, moaning in pain.
"Oh! Seaking! Don't give up! Try again!" Rose cried with enouragement. Seaking dived under water, then splashed behind Scyther, nailing him in the back. Scyther stumbled but turned around.
"Scyyy...(Fish Sticks tonight!)" Scyther mumbled, then shot it's foot behind him as Seaking jumped behind him, nailing it straight in the face. Scyther picked up the Seaking as it flopped around on the platform and threw it back to Rose.
"Oh, poor Seaking! Return!" Seaking returned to his Pokeball. SHe pulled out a different one.
"You are quite good Young man! Staryu Go!" She flung her Pokeball, releasing her Staryu. Lance pulled out Scyther's Pokeball.
"Scyther, great going! Return!" He recalled Scyther, then pulled out Pinsir's Pokeball.
"ALRIGHT PINSIR, IT'S TIME TO MAKE A SPLASH!" Lance cried, flinging out Pinsir's Pokeball. Pinsir appeared on a different Platform, it's pincers opening and closing.
"A Pinsir? You have many rare Pokemon! Staryu! Water gun!" Rose cried. Staryu dived under water, then partially surface, firing a Blast of water at Pinsir, who nimbly stepped aside dodging the blast barely.
"Alright Pinsir, HARDEN!" Lance cried. Pinsir slowly started to glow, then a flash of light shined off him as a Water gun hit him, not doing much.
"Mon chan chan!(Ooo Good move!)" Hitmonchan clapped.
"Clever! Quite clever! Staryu, Spinning tackle!" Rose ordered. Stary Jumped out of the water and spun at an incredible rate, then sped towards Pinsir.
"Alright Pinsir, give it a SEISMIC TOSS!" Lance cried gleefully. Pinsir watched the Staryu come at him, then opened it's pincers and grabbed it before it hit him. He spun it around a few times, then threw it past Rose into the door.
"Hmm, not bad! Come on Staryu, Recover!" Staryu got up and glowed, then jumped back into the battle as good as new, hitting Pinsir in the gut.
"Watch out Pinsir! Vice Grip!" Lance cried. Pinsir got to his feet and grabbed the Staryu, squeezing it painfully, keeping it from moving.
"Staryu!" Rose cried in alarm as Pinsirs inner spikes pierced a hole in Staryu's jewel.
"Alright Pinsir, Another Seismic Toss!" Lance cried. Pinsir threw it back at the feet of it's trainer, who hugged it and recalled it.
"You're too rough on other people's Pokemon!" She frowned. She pulled out her last Pokeball.
"Tentacruel go!" Lance gulped as the Tentacruel appeared.
"Okay Tentacruel, WRAP IT!" Tentacruels Vine like arms shot out, grabbing Pinsir and started Squeezing.
"Pinsir Return!" Lance cried, recalling Pinsir into his Pokeball. He looked at Hitmonchan.
"Your turn Hitmonchan, Take that Over grown Jelly fish DOWN!" Lance cried as Hitmonchan jumped out into the platform in front of Tentacruel, whose arms immediately shot out and tried to grab Hitmonchan, who nimbly dodged.
"Give it a Mega Punch!" Lance cried. Hitmonchan jumped up on top of It's Head and slammed his fist into Tentacruel. His fist sank into it, but didn't hurt it. It whacked him off with a thick Tentacle and laughed.
"Alright Tentacruel, Acid!" Tentacruel's mouth opened and globs of black acid shot at Hitmonchan, who jumped out of the way.
"Alright Hitmonchan, I've got an idea." Lance said as he noticed Tentacruel Hop into the water.
"USE A THUNDER PUNCH AND STICK IT INTO THE WATER!" Lance yelled. Hitmonchan grinned and concentrated, it's fist starting to crackle with electricity.
"Oh no! TENTACRUEL! GET OUT OF THE WATER!" Rose cried, too late. Hitmonchan slammed his fist into the water, causing an electrical jolt that hit Tentacruel, frying him good. Lance suddenly thought he smelled fried sushi. When Hitmonchan was done, Tentacruel was floating in the water, black and singed.
"Tentacruel Return!" Rose recalled Tentacruel, then looked at Lance.
"You've beaten Me, so this Cascade Badge is yours." Rose admitted as a Small Krabby climbed up next to her. She put the Tear shaped badge in it's claws, then whispered some isntructiosn to it. It jumped in the water and climbed up to Lance, depositing the Badge in front of him.
"Cool!" Lance picked up the badge and took off his hat. Hitmonchan smiled, full of pride.
"Mon chan chan hit!(And another one bites the dust!)" Hitmonchan laughed. Lance pinned the badge to his hat and smiled, then jumped for Joy.
"ALRIGHT! TWO DOWN, SIX TO GO!" Lance hollered, dancing with Hitmonchan.
"So this Cerulean City, Not overly Impressive." Lance said, looking at the city around him. It had been three day's, and finally they had made it to just outside Cerulean City's Pokecenter. Lance smiled and Walked inside with Hitmonchan, who looked a litle ragged around the edges. He took a tray from the front desk and set his Pokeballs and Hitmonchan up on the desk.
