Dimension travelers 1: pokemon world
Hello all! I want to take a moment to appreciate all those hits you have given me, over 300! Today's pokemon is magikarp.
Ash's POV
"David, I demand an explanation for your behavior!" Misty shouted
"All I have to say is, it's starting again." He replied
"What's starting again?" Misty asked confused, but Joesph got it.
"Say it ain't so." Joesph pleaded
"Will you two start making sense?" Misty asked angrily
"Well, before we came here, I had sleeping problems. I couldn't get more than two hours of sleep a day. To make matters worse, this affliction lasted a whole year." David said
"A whole year!" Brock exclaimed."That's impossible."
"I wish, but I didn't collapse form exhaustion. I pretty much survived on adrenalin." He said
"It also brought out his dark side, At the rear end of the year, he was comparable to Darth Vader." Joesph said
"Thankfully, we finally found an herb that allowed me to sleep. But we don't have any here." David finished. Then a look of deep thought came over him." Hey, Ash, can I borrow butterfree tonight?" He asked
"Why?" I asked
"I think I know why." Jeffery said." He wants to use butterfree's sleep powder to make him fall asleep, correct?"
"Right on the money." David replied."Now, onto the next town, cerulen city!"
"Cerulen? We can't go there!" Misty said
"Why not, that's where the next gym badge is." I told her
"Ash, you don't want pokemon from there." She stuttered."Trust me."
"Why not?" I asked
"Because they're all..." She started
"All what?" I questioned
"Very scary ghost pokemon." She finished
"That's great, I always wanted a gastly." David said."Or maybe a mistrevious." At this Misty deflated and I started to laugh.
"Nice face, Misty." I said and continued on my way to cerulen.
"Hey, hey, wait a minute, how about vermillion city? It's right by the water and there are lots of neat pokemon and you can watch all the giant yachts going in and out of the harbor and there's a little park way up on the hill where you can sit and watch the sunset that's so romantic." She finished
"One question, have you lost your marbles?" David voiced what I was thinking
"It's much nicer than that old cerulen city." Misty said, Then David said something in Misty's ear and she fell silent.
"Ok, let's go." I said
"Really?" Misty asked
"Yeah, to cerulen city." I finished with a smile, she fell flat and we continued walking."I've gotta get more trainer badges, Brock and since there's a gym in cerulen.." I trailed off.
"Yeah, makes sense to me." Brock said. After a few hours of walking we made it to cerulen.
"So, this is cerulen city, eh, Brock?" I asked
"Pretty nice place, isn't it?" Brock replied
"Hey look, that's weird. Misty's not following us." I said
"She really didn't want to come to cerulen." Brock observed
"I wonder why she hates this place." I wondered aloud.
"She doesn't hate this place, rather something in this place." David said cryptically.
"Ah, we'll never figure out girls." I said simply
"Better men than we have tried." David agreed, then we stumbled upon a crowd and police cars.
"Police, wonder what happened." I said
"Yeah." Brock said and we ran toward the crowd.
"Excuse me, but do you know what happened here?" I asked a bystander
"Some burglars broke into the store last night." He informed us
"Burglars, hun?" I said in wonder
"What do you know about buglers?" Said a female voice."You guys look very suspicious to me." Said a green hair person who looked like Officer Jenny.
"Suspicion must run in your family, your sister said the same thing." David said dryly
"If you've met my sister-in-law, you must have had some dealings with the police." Said the Jenny suspiciously
"You know, the only reason we met her was because she's just as over suspicious as you are." David said crossly
"That's what they all say." She said waving hand cuffs in front of us.
"We just got into town, we saw the crowd and decided to check it out." Brock said
"The criminal always returns to the scene of the crime!" She declared
"They say a retired police officer trusts nobody, I know what they mean now." David said acidly."Now, understand that we didn't do it, you will put down the cuffs and stop accusing us without proof. Anyway, you can't arrest us without reasonable evidence or a court order." David said smartly. But she still didn't buy it, then I had an idea. I held up my pokedex and it rattled off my id.
"Yeah, and I was the leader of the pewter city gym." Brock said holding up a badge
"Well, that's evidence enough for me, I'm sorry I was suspicious. Now I'm suspicious of my sister-in-law, she has weird taste in friends." At this David slapped his forehead in disgust.
"Excuse me miss, but since I'm new in town, maybe we could get together tonight and you could show me around." Brock said
"Alert, we have a Brock attack, man the battle stations." David said in my ear, I caught his drift and watched the development.
"Well, I'm not off duty until past your bed time, and I might even have to work round the clock to catch these burglars." Ouch, score one for her.
"What exactly did they steal?" I asked
"That's the strange part, they didn't take any money, just a giant vacuum." She replied
"Maybe some crazy neat freak stole it." David joked, then She told us to move along and we went to sit on some benches in the park.
"Good thing I had my pokedex and you had that badge." I said
"Yeah, shouldn't you be heading to the cerulen city gym?" Brock asked
"Don't forget me." David said."Since I won first at pewter, you can go first Ash."
"Yeah, hey Brock, do you have any inside info on the gym leader?" I asked, Then Brock looked surprised."I just want to find out as much about him before we have our match. Know yourself, know your adversary and you will have the key to victory." I said
"Don't you mean her, and I think you know quite a bit about the gym leader." David said mysteriously
"Well Ash, I can't give you any information." Brock said
"Why not?" I asked
"I'm a gym leader too, after all, I can't tell you out of respect, you understand of course." Brock said
"Alright." I said and we started to head to the gym.
"I have some stuff I need to check out." Brock told us
"What stuff?" I inquired
"Just stuff." He replied and started to leave.
"Bye." I called after him. The rest of us started to look for the gym. When we saw it there was a huge dewgone on the front. We entered and saw there was a show going on. We decided to watch. There were three girls, one with yellow hair, one with blue, and one with pink. They jumped off the diving board in sync and splashed into the water.
"Must be a aqua ballet." David remarked
"I thought this was a pokemon gym." I said, the show finished and we went down some stairs and found ourselves in an aquarium, then the swimmers came down the hall.
"Can anyone say airhead?" David asked sarcastically
"Hello?" I asked timidly
"Sorry, but if you want an interview, you have to ,like, call our manager." said the one with the pink hair
"No, it's not that." I said
"We don't do autographs." She said
"It's not that either." I said again."I really just wanted to know if this is a pokemon gym." I said
"It sure is." Said one of the girls
"Well, I'm looking for the gym trainer." I told them
"Your looking at them." One of them said and they struck a pose."We're the gym leaders here." Said the blond one
"We're the sensational sisters." Said the one with pink hair
"We're world famous." Said the one with blue hair
"Asked and answered." David said in an undertone, but I didn't hear him ask anything.
"But what's with all that swimming?" I asked
"It's, like, our hobby and our fans love to watch us preform." Said the pink haired one
"We pool our talents to make a big splash." Said the one with the blue hair, making a lame joke. We all went up to the pool and I declared my challenge.
"I challenge all of you!" I told them
"We don't feel much like battling anymore." said the blond one
"What do you mean?" Ash asked outraged
"We just got beaten three times in a row by kids from this nowhere place called pallet town." Said the blue haired one
"Not again." I said to myself
"It was just one defeat after another, my eyes were spinning from all the losses." Blue hair said
"We had to, like, practical rush all our pokemon to the pokemon center." Said Blond hair
"This is the only one left." Said pink hair, enlarging a pokeball and out came a goldeen.
"You mean all you have is a goldeen?" I asked in disbelief and it was recalled
"If it would evolve into seaking, we could use it. But all it can do now is horn attack." said Blue hair
"So, like, there's no point in battleing." Said blond hair
"Now instead of having matches, we have time to make ourselves look more beautiful." Said pink hair
"I know what you want." Said blond hair, she clapped her hands and called."Seel." And the said pokemon appeared form the water."The cascade badge, this is what you want, right? So you can have it." She finished
"What do you mean we can have it! You are the gym leaders! You are supposed to at least battle with whatever pokemon you have. Not just give away badges like they're going out of style!" David said outraged
"Take it, a badge is a badge." said blond one and seeing I wouldn't get a battle form them I decide to take the badge.
"Stop right there!" Exclaimed a female voice, I turned and saw Misty.
"Misty?" I asked in confusion she jumped down and said.
"Alright, Daisy, if you don't want to battle them, I will." She said to the blond one, whose name was Daisy.
"What do you mean?" I asked still more confused
"I am the cerulen city gym trainer, too." She explained
"Now do my cryptic clues make sense?" David asked smugly, some how he had known.
"I'm the fourth sensational sister." She said
"There are only three sensational sisters." said pink hair."And one runt." She said meanly
"So, little sister, it's a surprise to see you back so soon." Daisy said
"That little girl with the big mouth who said she'd never come back until she was a great pokemon trainer." said blue hair."Wasn't that you?"
"I guess I did say something like that when I left." Misty admitted
"So that's why Misty was so dead set against us coming here." I observed
"Misty, you left here pretending you wanted to become a pokemon trainer cause you couldn't compare with us, cause we're obviously more talented and beautiful that you are." Said the pink hired one, pushing her luck.
"THAT wan't the reason!" Misty shouted
"Well then I guess you came back because, like, you couldn't make it as a pokemon trainer." Said Daisy
"It wasn't my idea to come back here, the only reason I'm here is because he wanted to come." Pointing an accusing finger at me.
"Well, he's totally not someone I would chose for a boyfriend." At this point I collapsed and was stunned out of my wits.
David's POV
So, the tradition begins. Everyone we meet will assume Ash and Misty are together, I for one, agree with them 100%. They just won't admit it to themselves.
"If I battle him, it'll prove I'm not a quitter and I'm just a good as you three!" Misty shouted at Daisy
"Well, you are the only one of us that have pokemon that can battle." She said
"Alright, Ash, are you ready to rumble?" Misty asked eagerly. They took up their positions and got ready."I wasn't planning to challenge you until you paid me back for my bike, but this is as good a time as any!" She called."To get the cascade badge, your gonna have to beat me!"
"It'll be my pleasure." Ash said and he looked to pikachu."How many pokemon?"
"Two agains two!" She replied
"You got it. Pikachu, go!" And Ash launched him but he wouldn't go."Pikachu, what are you doing?" Ash asked him and pikachu pointed to Misty and shook His head."Are you saying that you don't want to battle against Misty?" I asked and pikachu answered affirmative."Well, I guess it's okay if you don't want to battle a friend." Ash said and I started to worry that pikablue would have a similar problem, so I devised an insane plan that only a mad man would consider.
"Your a pikapal, pikachu!" Called Misty
"Thanks alot, pikachu" Ash said as he got out a pokeball."Butterfree, I chose you!" And out came the butterfly pokemon.
"Well in that case, Misty calls, staryu!" And the starfish pokemon materialized.
"Butterfree, tackle it!" Ash commanded and the pokemon went on the attack.
"Staryu, counter attack!" Misty ordered and the water pokemon spun at butterfree.
"Butterfree, dodge!" And it flew out of the way and butterfree continued the pounding of the starfish pokemon.
"Staryu, water gun!" And the pokemon lept into the water and started the attack. It landed, but didn't do much. Then the water pokemon lept out of the water and fired short bursts of water and butterfree just dodged.
"Use stun spore now!" Ash said and butterfree flew over the staryu and it was paralyzed.
"Oh no, staryu looks like it's in real pain." Misty said
"It dosen't even have a face, how can you tell?" Ash asked
"Because I'm sensitive to others feelings." She replied
"Oh yeah, and I'm not?" Ash asked
"Staryu, wash it off." Misty commanded and the pokemon fell into the water."yay, too bad you didn't know that stun spore doesn't work if you wash it off in water."
"She think she knows every thing. Butterfree, sleep powder." Ash said and the same thing happend with the stun spore except it was a blue powder.
"Tackle it from under water." Misty ordered and the pokemon lept in and out of the water, only a few attacks hitting."If I can get butterfree under water, I win, because water pokemon always have the advantage in the water, ha ha ha ha!"
"Pikachu, your supposed to be on my side." Ash said riled, then staryu hit butterfree and the butterfly fell into the water."Butterfree, return!" And the red light shot out and absorbed the pokemon. He replaced the pokeball and out came pidgeotto.
"Oh yeah, staryu return!" Misty countered and replaced staryu with its evolved form.
"Pidgeotto, whirlwind it away!" Ash told the bird, the strong winds were too much for starmie, so it jumped into the water and tackled pidgeotto."Strike back with wing attack!" and the bird hit the water pokemon with a well placed hit. It came back with a vengeance and Ash ordered pidgeotto to attack with at gust. The wind overpowered the purple pokemon and it crashed into the wall, defeated. Then the whole building shook. Team Rocket burst through the wall.
"Sorry to break in on you like this." Jesse said
"Allow us to introduce ourselves." James started
"To protect the world from devastation."
"To unite all peoples within our nation."
"To denounce the evils of truth and love."
"To extend our reach to the stars above."
"Jesse."
"James"
"Team Rocket blasts of at the speed of light."
"Surrender now or prepare to fight."
"Meowth, that's right."
"The water pokemon have the advantage." James stated
"But if we steal that water away.." Jesse started
"The pokemon are ours for the taking." James finished
"And meowth knows just how to do it." Meowth told us
"What are they trying to prove?" Asked The one with blue hair, then Team Rocket started to suck up all the water in the pool.
"A massive vacuum. Team Rocket were the robbers who broke into that store back then!" Ash said, putting two and two together.
"Our swimming pool!" Daisy cried
"They're sucking it dry!" Misty declared
"That's our water!" Said the one with pink hair
"Right, I should give it back." Meowth and he turned the hose on us and started to blast water.
"We've gotta protect the pokemon!" Misty shouted
"Like, what about my hair!" Said the blue haired one, then meowth reversed the hose and it stared to suck up everything, including me! Then I heard pikachu get caught up in the tide. I was caught by tweedledumb and tweedledumber!
"Pikachu use thundershock!" I heard Ash called, this is going to sting unless I go pikachu. So I went pikachu just before I got shocked silly, though it still stung. It certainly got Team Rocket's attention. They were sucked up and blasted through the other end of the hose and said their trademark yell.
"Team Rocket's blasting off again!" I was relived, until I noticed the vacuum was still on! Both pikachu and I were sucked in and the forced back out, pikachu landed in Daisy's arms, I on the other hand landed on my head.
"Pikaaa."(Owwww) Misty heard and looked over in my direction.
"Sorry, David. I was too caught up watching pikachu's decent." I changed back to give her a piece of my mind.
"You will get no mercy from me." I said darkly."I will crush you like a bug and obtain the badge."
"Hey, we never got to finish our match, Ash." Misty commented
"Yeah, and I was just about to beat you." He said
"What?" Misty asked, caught off guard
"You could say your match was postponed on account of drain." Said Misty's sister with the blue hair.
"Oh hardy har har, my sides are splitting." I said sarcastically
"I wanted to win." Misty pouted
"I guess I'm not going to get that cascade badge." Ash said sadly
"Wrong, we're giving this badge to you." Daisy said, holding up a badge.
"How come he gets the badge?" Misty asked
"Pikachu is the one who, like, totally saved us all, and if he used pikachu from the start, there was no way your water pokemon would have won." Daisy finished
"Aw man." Misty said
"Take the badge, Ash, you deserve it." Daisy said
"Gee, thanks." Ash said appreciatively."I'll take it!"
"Now, what about your battle, David?" Asked Misty
"Easy, just watch." I said and changed to blazeiken. I lept over the pool and pulled out the hose and jumped through the hole in the wall to retrieve the platforms. I changed back and said.
"There, now the pool is ready for my battle." I said
"He's right, Misty." Daisy said
"Fine, I accept you challenge." Misty said and we took our positions
"Hey, do you mind if I do something first?" I asked
"What?" Misty replied
"This, I want to overcome the fire type's greatest weakness, the water. So I want to battle in my blazeiken form, but first I want to get accustomed to the water." I said
"Okay." Misty gave her consent and I changed and jumped into the pool. I was fine for about a second then it hit me. I burst from the water screeching.
"BLAZEEEE!"(OWWWWWW!) And I landed on a platform in pain.
"My brother's gone insane!" Joesph said with glee and I spouted some fire into the air to signify the threat. I was going to roast that brother of mine.
"Alright, Misty calls out staryu!" And the pokemon came out, I nodded my head to signify she should go first.
"Alright, staryu use water gun!" And I let the blast hit me dead center, I cringed in pain but wouldn't let it break me.
"Blazeiken!" (Skyuppercut!) I charged up the attack and headed to the starfish pokemon. I hit the center of it and it was thrown back into the water.
"Staryu, stay down there, he can't get you as long as you under water!" Misty shouted, oh no? I lept into the water and felt the burning sensation, but did my best to ignore it. I saw the staryu sitting at the bottom of the pool, unaware of me. I tried to say something, but it came out as bubbles. The double kick went throught thought. The unsuspecting pokemon was wounded, but not defeated, yet. It surfaced and so did I.
"He has, like, a will of iron." Said Daisy from the side lines, but the water was taking it's toll. My energy was depleted, so I decided to finish it off before it could recover and attack.
"Blaze!"(Flamethrower) and the attack hit, I didn't do much damage but it did it's job. The pokemon fainted and Misty recalled it, face red with embarrassment.
"Misty calls out, starmie." And the evolved form of the pokemon I just beat came to play. I fell to one knee in exhaustion, but I wasn't ready to give up. I knew that if she called out the pokemon's psychic attack, I was through."You're a fire and fighting type, right?" Misty asked, but I wasn't going to give her that.
"He is!" Joesph yelled, traitor. As such he got a flamethrower in the face for his treachery and he was going to get a lot worse than that later. Misty got a grin on her face and called out that fatal attack.
"Starmie, use psychic!" And my mind felt like it was getting torn apart. It stopped but it robbed me of the energy I had left. I fell to the floor of the platform, defeated. I got up and lept over to the challenger's position before changing back.
"Good going, but I still have an ace up my sleeve. Hey, pikablue, will you battle?" I asked and pikablue thought it over. It was taking awhile so I decided to bribe him."If you do, I'll get you something I think you'll love." I said and pikablue's ears perked up.
"Pika pikachu?"(What is it?)
"You'll see when I give it to you." I said mysteriously, I was planning to get him a bottle of ketchup.
"Pika pichu!"(I'll do it!) And with that he lept onto a platform.
"Alright, let's get started with a quick attack!" I said and he ran toward and hit the starmie."Good going!"
"Starmie, use water gun!" Misty commanded
"Dodge it!" I shouted and pikachu lept and the attack scarped his underside."Alright, now let's go in with a thundershock!"
"Watch out!" Misty shouted and starmie went into the water.
"Now redirect it into the water!" I said and Misty's smile disappeared and the whole pool was electrified. The hurt starfish pokemon lept up onto a platform.
"Starmie, use recover!" Misty said smugly
"Oh no you don't! Pikablue, THUNDER!" I called, it was a long shot, but if it hit if would mean instant KO. I prayed the stars were in alignment, and sure enough it just scratched the tip of it, but the electricity was redirected into the water and psychic pokemon. It was still recovering and so the attack did enough damage to KO it."You did it, pikablue!"
"I can't believe it, one of my pokemon got beat by a fire pokemon." Misty said in awe
"Good.. match." I panted out,"Now after I get my badge, I have a certian little brother I need to utterly destroy for his treachery." I said
"That was, like, amazing." Daisy said." And now for your badge." She said, giving me the cascade badge.
"Thank you." I replied and took the badge."I got the cascade badge!"
"You earned it." Misty said
"Now, Joesph, you have a date with a thunderbolt." I said and changed into pikachu and he stareted to back away.
"Now David, don't do anything hastey." But it was too late, I had fiered off the bolt and it hit."YEowch! That hurt!" He said as I changed back.
"That's the point, ding dong." I said and we went outside. Just before we left Misty's sisters offered a few words of advice.
"Misty, you just go right on trying to be a pokemon trainer." Said the pink haired one."You might as well be good at something, cause you'll never be stars like us."
"You keep that up and you'll be seeing stars." Misty said hotly
"Chill out." Said Misty's blue haired sister
"Misty, be careful, you know how you are." Daisy said
"Yeah." Misty said
"Hey, Guys!" Brock called, running up.
"Yo, Brocko." Ash said back to him
"How'd it go, you two?" He asked me and Ash
"See for yourself." Ash said holding up his badge
"It went great! I beat a staryu with my blazeiken form!" I cried joyously
"Well, let's get going." Brock said
"Right." We agreed
"Your not leaving without me!" Misty yelled
"Misty, your not going to be a sore loser, are you?" Ash asked
"I didn't lose anything to you!" Misty shouted back
"Well, I'm the one who got the badge." Ash retorted
"What, you know you lost with butterfree!" Misty countered
"That was just round one, we made a great come back." Ash said
"If Team Rocket hadn't burst in, I would have destroyed you!" Misty replied
"Your lucky they showed up, you were about to lose." Ash Yelled
"Lose..." And I let their argument fade away.
Well, next time we head into a forest. This is where David will get his staff he was talking about a chapter back. It will accompany him through his travels and serve him loyally.
