Me: Well, yeah….Haven't been here in a while…
Misty: YA THINK!
Ash: No….No, I don't.
Misty and I: (sweat drop)
Gary: Hey babe!
Me: I am not your babe.
Dawn: Well you are in the story.
Kenny: Speaking of the story, PokeshippersShadow1 doesn't own Pokemon!
Paul: Just start the stupid story!
Chapter 7: Expect the Unexpected
Vicky hummed to herself as she flew around trying to find the others in the mysterious looking land. Some would've thought she was weird for humming in such a dreary place. But Vicky just kept thinking positively. Besides, Gary was there with her.
Just at the mere thought of Gary, Vicky let out a quiet but happy giggle.
Suddenly one of her poke balls released a Pokemon. Vicky waited a while as the figure began to take form. In her lap was a Cleffa. Vicky smiled at the baby Pokemon as it cuddled closer to her. Obviously used to Vicky flying around on a broom.
"Did you come to keep me company?" Cleffa called out it's name softly before smiling. Vicky smiled back as the Pokemon started to have a conversation with her.
Vicky waved her hand near her ears as they glowed a light green color before fading away. She was now able to understand the Pokemon as it continued on telling her about it's day.
Lucas and Lily
'I, like, barely know this guy.' Lily thought to herself while glancing at Lucas out the corner of her eye. Lucas was looking around, studying the space around him. He had one eyebrow raised, his lips pressed together lightly, and his eyes were gazing all around him. 'Yet, I, like, think I want to, like, date him.' (A/N: I would say love but….seems kind of rushed considering she just met the guy.)
Lucas saw Lily looking at him out of the corner of her eye while blushing a light pink. He smiled to himself softly. She looked cute. Her face expressions would change because of all the thoughts running through her pretty little head. The light pink blush filled her cheeks and slightly over her nose. Lucas shook his head quickly when he realized what he was doing. He mentally scowled at himself. 'You just met her!' He reasoned until he smiled lightly again. 'Checking her out isn't so bad….besides I would date her. But she would probably think I am some freak for asking her out so suddenly.' Lily took a deep breathe before starting up a conversation.
"So," She started to grab his attention. Lucas snapped out of it as he directed his gaze towards her. "What do you, like, plan on doing after this whole thing is, like, over?" Lucas turned his gaze upwards in thought before looking back into her eyes again.
"Probably to the Kanto Region to catch more Pokemon and do some more research. I figure I research some of the Pokemon there while training my own," Lucas said before smiling widely. Lily nodded since the Pokemon here and the Pokemon back at Kanto are different. "Besides I want to head to Pallet Town to meet the famous, Professor Oak." Lily smiled at how happy he seemed about the idea.
"Yeah I, like, have to head back home." Lucas nodded before raising an eyebrow.
"Where do you live?" Lily smirked at the question and puffed up her chest in pride.
"I am, like, one of the Sensational Sisters, one of the gym leaders of the Cerulean City Gym, actress, model, and, like, a dancer!" Lily then flipped one of her pink ponytails over her shoulder as her eyes closed in confidence. Lucas was wide eyed as he sweat dropped.
'I heard of girls who are triple threats but that is ridiculous.' Lucas couldn't help but smile at her though. She was sensational.
"That's cool! That is probably my favorite part about Kanto!" Lily opened her eyes and raised an eyebrow.
"Me?" Lucas blushed. 'Yes.' He mentally answered.
"No, I mean you're great and all." He said while smiling politely at Lily who smiled back. "But I mean you owning a gym and performing. I heard the Cerulean City Gym is amazing." Lily smiled and gently grabbed a hold of Lucas' hand. She batted her eyelashes lightly at him while smiling cutely. Lucas blushed heavily while stuttering.
"You know," Lily began. "You can always come back with us to see the gym." Lucas smiled widely.
"I WOULD LOVE THAT!" He immediately slapped a hand over his mouth and blushed at his yelling, from all his excitement. Lily giggled and kissed his cheek quickly. She then began to walk ahead of him with Lucas right on her heels with a dopey expression.
Back with Vicky
"I WOULD LOVE THAT!" She heard the yell even from where she was. She rolled her eyes and giggled.
'I guess I found Lucas.' She began to fly a little faster. Heading towards the yell. "And wherever Lucas is," She mumbled quietly with amusement to Cleffa. "Lily is bound to be with him."
Cleffa called out for a moment before suddenly getting quiet as it stared straight ahead. Vicky frowned seeing this. "What's wrong?"
Suddenly a large black and red beam hit the broom. It knocked Vicky right off her broom as Vicky, Cleffa and the broom were about to hit the ground. Vicky reached out and grabbed Cleffa. 'Cleffa isn't a flying type, so I need-'
Her train of thought was cut off by Cleffa's yells. She grabbed her poke ball and returned the Pokemon against it's will. She then grabbed her broom and tried to used magic to make it fly again. When it failed, she shrunk it and put it back into her pocket while pulling out a poke ball.
"Go Pidgeot!"
The large bird called out it's name before swooping down and catching her. Vicky sighed in relief as soon as the bird Pokemon did. She then petted its feathers gently. "Sorry…I am too weak to fly on my own right now, I tried using my broom but something….or someone threw a blast at me." The large bird Pokemon responded before flying around, waiting for her orders. Vicky looked suspicious in the area where the blast came from. Nothing was there. She stared at the area for a moment waiting for movement. When she found none, she ordered Pidgeot to fly in the direction from where she heard the yell come from.
Meanwhile with Gary
Gary was walking around, doing the same thing Vicky was doing. Trying to find the others while thinking about everything that just happened. Gary, however, was at ease as he wondered around the area.
Suddenly something reflected light into his eye. He closed his eye quickly before opening them slowly while trying to find where it came from. Hanging from the side of a large boulder was a golden chain. At the end of the chain, there was a red jewel.
Gary walked closer to it before picking it up and examining it. It shined brightly and there was something very alluring about it. Gary squinted his eyes as he gazed at the shiny gem. He looked both ways quickly before looking back at the chain. He sighed before pulling the chain over his head and letting hang from his neck. It suddenly turned a calming blue against his shirt. He gasped at the sudden change.
'Maybe it changes depending on my emotions…Like a mood necklace or something.' He felt energy surging through his veins and the rest of his body. Gary couldn't help but smirk at the feeling. It felt weird but in a good way. He then frowned slightly at his thoughts. 'What makes it so special though?' Gary looked down at the glowing blue gem. It was shining more brightly as if it wanted him to use it's power. 'But what do I do?' As if hearing his thoughts, the jewel lit up as blue energy formed in his hand. He gasped again at the feeling and the sight. Slowly he smirked as he tossed the energy ball around. He then pulled his hand back and threw it up as high as he can. The blue energy ball flew high then exploded in a bright blue and white smoke.
"Whoa…" Was all Gary was able to say. "That was awesome." He smiled widely as the jewel suddenly turned green. Gary looked down at the chain as it changed colors again. He then looked up slightly in thought. 'What does green mean again?' He closed his eyes in thought before opening them and smiling. 'Oh yeah,' He lifted the chain up slightly. 'Active.' (A/N: I looked up the meaning of each mood ring color. I am using the ones that I found. So sorry if it seems wrong to you guys.)
The gem glowed again. Suddenly green energy began to form underneath him. He looked down curiously as the energy formed a skate board like shape. Gary smiled widely as he glided through the air on the board.
After a few minutes of flying, he suddenly remember what he was supposed to be doing. He glided back to the stone floor and made the board disappear. 'I think I am getting the hang of this.' He thought with a smirk. Gary quickly shook his head. 'Remember where you are.' Gary mentally reminded himself. He then glared at the ground. 'It's all that guy's fault!' He thought referring to the King of Shadows.
The jewel turned a deep red. Gary didn't notice it until the energy formed and lit his whole arm with what looked like flames. He growled and threw it far into the air. A ball of red and grey swirled along the sky and disappeared into the direction Vicky had gone to.
With Vicky
'Where did it come from?' Vicky questioned as Pidgeot flew towards Lily and Lucas.
"Like, look!" Lily pointed to the sky where Vicky was. Lucas looked and smiled. Lily and Lucas then waved their arms in the air trying to get her attention. Vicky shook her head and snapped out her thoughts as Pidgeot flew towards them.
"How did you know we were here?" Lucas asked while helping Lily onto the large bird-like Pokemon. Vicky gave him a small smile before answering.
"I heard a yell…" She smirked with this said as Lily giggled and Lucas blushed a light pink. The two then hopped on as they flew back.
Once they flew back. Vicky called back Pidgeot. Daisy, Violet, Brock, Dawn and Kenny were already back along with Gary. Gary smiled at the sight of Vicky and the others. His gaze softened as he gazed at Vicky. The jewel turned a deep violet color.
Vicky and the others hopped off Pidgeot. She then returned him and walked to where the others were. She looked around taking in the faces of the others. Kenny and Dawn were blushing and sitting very close to each other. Brock was flirting with Violet. Compared to most girls, she looked like she was enjoying the attention. Daisy was fixing her hair while giggling at Brock's actions. Lily and Lucas immediately joined in. Vicky seemed to look around in thought until Gary walked up to her and wrapped his arms around her waist.
"Hey babe," He whispered before pecking her lips. Vicky smiled at the name before giving him a kiss.
"Where's Tracey?" Vicky questioned as she pulled away slowly. Gary let out a content moan with droopy eyes before smiling widely.
"Daisy said he went to draw something he found." Gary rolled his eyes before chuckling. Vicky giggled and nodded. She moved to lay her head on his chest until she saw the chain. She paused and examined it. It looked familiar.
"Where did you-" Vicky was cut off by her poke ball lighting up and Cleffa coming out. Vicky's attention immediately turned to the cute Pokemon. Cleffa looked like it was gonna cry as it clung to her leg. Vicky giggled before scooping up the Pokemon. "What's wrong?" The Cleffa began to cry about everything that happened earlier. Vicky thought she was the only one who was able to understand what the baby Pokemon. Little did she know, Gary was there.
Gary's jewel began to light up. Suddenly Gary was able to understand everything coming out of the baby Pokemon's mouth. He gasped quietly as he heard everything. His jewel turned grey with nervousness. Gary ran to Vicky's side as soon as the Pokemon fell asleep in her arms. He carefully but quickly placed the Pokemon on her lap as he cupped her hands and brought them to his lips. Vicky blushed quickly while gazing at him in confusion.
"I heard everything Cleffa said." Vicky's eyes widened in shock as Gary wrapped his arms around her and cuddled her closer, in a way of protection. Vicky was pressed into his chest while Cleffa was curled on her stomach. She was too shocked to consider anything going on. It was then she realized where that chain was from. She gasped loudly causing everybody to turn their attention towards her. She jumped out of his lap as Cleffa hopped off of her stomach.
"THAT CHAIN IS-"
Suddenly a white beam shot across the sky and caught Vicky into it's beam. Vicky sensed it was coming but didn't fear it. What looked like a pale, glowing hand reached out to grab Vicky. It pulled her into the white beam and began to fly away.
Gary quickly stood up and reached out to grab her. He was too slow though as the white beam shot away in amazing speed.
The jewel turned a deep red again. A deep red beam surrounded Gary. He floated off the ground. Just as he was about to fly in the same direction as Vicky was taken off, he heard a cry. It was Cleffa. Cleffa was holding out it's little arms towards him with teary eyes. He sighed softly before scooping up the baby. He then shot out in the direction of the beam.
Everyone's jaw dropped as all this happened.
"What the-" Brock started but Violet finished.
"Like, fudge."
In the Real World
Paul was tossing around a ball of red energy. Mikki smirked before throwing a blue blast making it disappear. Paul glared while Mikki smirked challengingly. Paul just stared at her face. Mikki's eyes were sparkling challengingly as her smirk was challengingly yet playful. Paul felt that familiar jump of his heart and a smirk lit his face.
Dina knew the look on Mikki's face and rolled her eyes playfully before skimming the book again. Ash, on the other hand, was gaping while staring at Paul. After a minute of dealing with that, Paul glared at Ash.
"What?!" Ash pointed to his mouth.
"You're smiling!" Mikki grinned cheekily before pinching Paul's cheek.
"Actually it was a smirk." Paul glared while moving her hand off. "But with Paul…..that's as close to a smile as we're gonna get." Misty, Dina, and May giggled while Drew smirked.
"Same thing with Drew…" May added while smiling innocently at the green haired boy. Drew crossed his arms with a slight pout and didn't bother to flick his hair off his face.
"Aw…" All the girls swooned at the cute face. May threw her arms around his shoulders along with Misty and Dina. Mikki swooned as well and instead hugged his torso since his shoulders were occupied. Paul, Ash, and Ritchie glared at Drew sharply. Drew was blushing and letting out a nervous laugh which to the girls was even cuter. Mikki pulled away from the group. She faced Paul with a playful grin.
"Aw does Pauly Wauly want a hug?" She had her arms spread out with that grin still on her face. Paul glared slightly with a pink blush.
"No.." He mumbled quietly while crossing his arms. Mikki grinned and ran up to him while throwing her arms around him. He turned a bright red and buried his face in her neck to hide it.
"Aw is Paul blushing?!" Misty ran over and hugged him too along with the other girls. Mikki glared and pushed them off.
"Hey!" The girls smirked at Mikki as she glared at them in a friendly way. "He's mine!" Paul blushed even deeper and the girls giggles didn't make it better.
"You don't own me." He began to walk away but Mikki flicked her wrist as a sparkle hit his back and words began to form. The girls squinted to read it but laughed when they did.
Property of Mikki
Mikki smirked in accomplishment before following Paul out the room. The girls burst into laughter as Mikki was walking away from them.
Property of Paul
With Misty, May, Dina, Ritchie, Drew, and Ash
"They would look so cute together," Dina sighed dreamingly as she said this. Misty nodded.
"Paul is good looking too…." Ash threw his hands into the air.
"I GIVE UP!" Ash then walked out the room. Misty frowned as she watched him.
"Ash, what's wrong?" Nothing. "Ash, I am talking to you!" Still nothing. "ASHTON SATOSHI KETCHUM, LOOK AT ME WHEN I AM TALKING TO YOU!" Door slam. "I'm gonna kill him…"
"Misty! Where are you going?!" Dina yelled as Misty walked after Ash.
"To kill Ash…" She trailed off while pulling out her mallet.
"Oh okay." May shrugged. Dina looked at her in shock. May shrugged again. "It's normal." Dina shrugged.
"Oh okay." They both put their hands behind their heads and kicked their legs up.
"Ah…" They sighed comfortably. Drew rolled his eyes.
"Did you even find anything in the book that can help us?" Dina snapped her fingers making the book appear. She let it float in front of her and moved her fingers causing the pages to turn. Dina then sat up and pointed to a specific page.
"Well yes and no." Dina pointed to a picture of a man surrounded in a white light. "See we, meaning Mikki, Vicky, and I, can't do anything without the portal or learning how to control the shadows. However," Dina said while tapping her finger on the man in the picture. "This guy is the only other that can help us. He is the king of light. The only other person that can control the shadows." May looked at her questioningly.
"I thought you said that whoever learns how to control the shadows becomes king." Dina nodded.
"And that is true. But since he is already the king of light, he stuck with the king of light. Besides," Dina smiled lightly. "He is too dedicated, passionate, and kind to be the king of shadows." They all nodded and looked at the picture again. They all gasped.
"THAT LOOKS LIKE-" Drew was cut off by Ritchie fainting. Dina gasped as she realized who the person resembled.
With Mikki and Paul
Mikki smirked as she looked at Paul from behind. She was just waiting at the right moment to pounce. She then ran up and threw her arms around his neck and moved her legs around his waist. Paul stumbled a little before steadying himself. He then glared at Mikki as she rested her head on his shoulder.
"HI PAUL!"
"What do you want?" Mikki glared slightly before pinching his cheek.
"Let's try this again." Mikki then moved her hand to his ear and twisted it. "HI PAUL!" She then screamed into his ear. Paul groaned and winced.
"Hi," he mumbled. Mikki smiled widely before letting go of his ear. His ear was bright red as Paul began to rub it. Mikki then frowned slightly at the sight. She pushed his hand away and began to rub it herself. Paul's eye widened a little before he relaxed. Her warm hands rubbing his sore ear. He completely ignored the fact she was hanging on him. Besides she was light. Mikki smirked at Paul's face expression. She then jumped off him and twirled around to smirk at him. Paul's eyes opened after closing them in content.
"You act different around the others," Paul's eyes went down as his cheeks turned a light shade of pink. Mikki raised an eyebrow at his expression. Paul then looked up and opened his mouth but was cut off by a flash of light. Paul moved his arm to cover Mikki and pull her to his chest. Mikki had her hands on her ears and her eyes shut.
"What the-" Mikki heard Paul say and felt his chest move as he talked. Mikki blinked her eyes and looked at the person before them. A wide smile filled her face and she pulled out Paul's arms. Paul just stood in the back with his arms cross and a tiny smirk on his lips. She smirked at the person before her and Paul.
"Well look at who is back and ready to save the day." The person before her stood at her height and mirrored her. They both had their arms crossed with a smirk on their face.
"You didn't think I would miss out on all the fun did you?" Mikki's smirk turned into a smile. She then ran forward and hugged the person. The person immediately hugged back.
"How did you do it, Vicky?" Vicky chuckled and pulled away.
"You won't believe who finally decided to join the fun and reveal himself." Their was another flash of light as a man now stood before them.
"No way," Mikki then smiled widely. "YOU'RE the King of Light?!"
Me: Find out who it is in the next chapter!
Ash: It would be easy to just tell us now.
Me: Yeah but where is the fun in that.
Everyone: (sweat drop)
Me: Anyway, sorry for the wait. I had a lot of stuff to do, and then I had no idea on what to do with this chapter…(sigh) I was a mess. But I guess it worked out a little.
Everyone: REVIEW!
