Fiery Sapphire

"Feolan, get off my leg," Ellen yelled crabbily, pushing the Poochenna off her leg and slinking out of the sleeping bag.

"Charles, get your Charmeleon butt outa my face," yelled Feolan, as he crawled out of the sleeping bag and hit the hard ground. Feolan pulled a groggy Charles out by his tail. Ellen gazed at the stars in the sky, as Feolan and Charles sat next to her.

"So. Its…" Ellen examined her watch. " 7:00 A.M."

"WHAT?" Charles cried, as he peered at Ellen's watch. "Ellen. Its 3 A.M." Charles crossed his arms, and swished his tail. A branch near his tail shriveled up from the heat. "We should get to the Lightning Gym by 7:00. That way, we can get the gym over with and press on. Sound good?"

"No." Feolan covered his face with the sleeping bag and lay down. Ellen sighed and agreed with Feolan. She moved over a protesting Feolan and reclined. Charles gave in, also. They slept as night became morning.

The three continued walking in the morning, feeling refreshed and ready. They were in high sprits as they saw the gym. Ellen ran like the wind, full of energy and happiness.

And then ran into the tree.

"Holy crap!" cried the girl, after falling down. "Who put that there?"

"I did!" said a sinister voice, and a man in a long, black cloak came up. The Anti-Trainer screamed as he laughed manically. Then, he took off his cloak. "I'm the gardener!" he said in a squeaky voice, and then skipped away singing If You're Happy and you Know it.

Ellen began to get angry. She saw that the gym was blocked by a tree, and she pulled out an ax. "Chop the tree down! Mwhahaha!" She immediately began trying to chop down the tree. When I write trying, I mean she had no chance of chopping it down. "Come on, darn tree, FALL DOWN!" Ellen gave up when he ax broke. "Charles, torch the tree." Charles tried and tried, but to no avail.

Finally, a random bystander said, "You need to teach your Pokémon the TM Cut. I think the captain on the S.S Anne is the master of cut. Bill has a ticket." She walked away.

"Uh…Thanks random stranger. Bill…Isn't he that eccentric guy who dresses up like Pokémon?"

Feolan said, "He sounds like a crackpot to me. But he sounds rich, so he most likely has the Anne ticket. Let's walk back to Cerulean." So they did, and left the broken ax behind.

OoO

The three adventurers looked up at Bill's home. "You think we can just walk in?" Ellen asked the two Pokémon. She looked at the trainers she had beaten up to get to Bill's house. It was always, "I want to battle with you!" or "Jigglypuff, I chose you!"

"We might as well," said Charles, and he knocked on the door. No one answered, so they slowly pushed open the door. It was a fairly normal house, except for the large machine in the back and the small Eevee that sat in the middle of the room, a depressed look on it's face. Ellen ran up to it and kneeled down. "Hey there," she said, grinning at the Eevee. "D'you know where Bill is? We need a ticket for a boat and some random guy said he had them."

The Eevee's eyes grew to the size of bowling balls, and he said, in English, "I am Bill." Ellen's nerves jumped at the sight of an English speaking Eevee with an English accent. "Oh don't worry, I won't tell a soul," 'Bill' continued, waving his paw in the air as if it was nothing at all. "I believe it's wonderful to communicate with Pokémon. I wish I could do it. Well, enough talk. Can you assist me in changing back to a human? I was experimenting, and I made a mistake in my calculations."

"Yeah. We'll help you, man," Feolan said. Bill noted he could understand Pokémon, and he showed them the machine. He explained the unexpectedly simple mechanics of the device, and Bill entered the DNA teleporter. The girl flicked a large switch, as instructed.

There were some cool lights, and disco music. A grinning Bill came out like a new man.

Naked.

"HOLY SHIT!" Ellen screamed, shielding her eyes. "IT BURNS, IT BURNS! Put some clothes on!" Ellen tossed him some random clothes on the floor, and Bill quickly suited himself in a polo and khakis.

"There. Good as new!" the man exclaimed jovially, smoothing down his ruffled brown hair. "Well, I believe some thanks are in order." He majestically bowed and handed Ellen a ticket, as wanted. "Thank you."

Ellen snorted with laughter. "Yeah man, any time. Anytime I want a totally embarrassing situation..."

"Come to me," he finished, and they both exchanged awkward looks.

"Okay…maybe not," the girl said, and they left.


End of Chapter! Sorry it was kinda short, but that's the way the cookie crumbles! Oh well!

Whoot!

This is Flameboo, over and out!
