*BRRRPPPP*
"WAHH! Joseph heard the noise of the ship beeping. He rolled off the bed landing head first on the soft carpet of the First-Class room. They were on a ship. Autumn and Joseph.
"Stupid ship. He mumbled getting back up. He looked at the clock.
7:23 AM.
He looked at Autumn who was still sleeping on her side of the bed.
*How was I sleeping with one of the very few beautiful girls in the world again* He thought.
*How am I gonna show myself on the ship without being caught on board without a ticket*
He looked at his backpack and remembered the Pokeshooter.
*I guess I can work on the Pokeshooter* He unzipped the pack and took out his invention along with some materials and tools.
He set them on a table, pulled in a chair, then sat down fixing it back up again. A few hours passed and he was still working on fixing it.
*I should wake up Autumn* He walked over to her and tapped her on the shoulder. She just moaned.
"Hey Autumn wake up. He whispered in her ear. She laughed as his voice tickled her ear.
*Ticklish huh* He started tickling under her arms. She couldn't resist laughing until she opened her eyes up.
"There your awake.
She got up into a sitting position and yawned.
"What did you do while you were up huh? She asked.
"Fixing the Pokeshooter thats all.
"You know breakfeast started a few hours ago theres only 1 more hour until they stop giving it out. She said looking at the clock which was now 10:00 AM.
"How am I supposed to walk around the ship without being questioned "Wheres your ticket.
"I'll bring you something back up here. She got out of bed and went to the bathroom with her backpack. She took a shower and came out in new clothes.
"See you later. She said leaving out the door.
"See ya.
He sat there in complete silence working on his device. He had black smudges on his face with some cuts on his hands. It didn't bother him since he's been doing this for 7 years.
The door opened up.
"I'm back. Autumn said carrying a foam box.
"Uh...is that grease and oil on your face and your hands...
"Don't worry about it. He said putting down his tools. He went to the bathroom and got a wash cloth, he wet it then cleaned his face. He washed his hands with soap.
"...ok uh I brought you something like I said. She put the box of food on the table.
He got out of the bathroom and went to the table.
"Thanks. He said taking a muffin out of the box then went back to work.
Autumn just watched him working. There was nothing better for her to do besides watch T.V. and read a book. After a while she couldn't handle it anymore.
"Are you just gonna work on that all day I mean we're on a luxury ship we should be enjoying the time we have right now before we go back to the Johto region. She crossed her arms across her chest.
"You mean YOU should be enjoying the time we have here, theres nothing that I can do without a ticket.
"But it won't be that as much fun without you. She frowned giving him puppy dog eyes.
He sighed.
"Fine we'll do something together for a while and then I'll come back here deal.
"Deal now get your swimming trunks b/c we're going swimming. She said grinning.
"What! He shouted out with a shocked look.
"What? Whats wrong with swimming?
"Huh...nothing I just...don't have trunks thats all. He really didn't have any trunks.
"Well then wear some shorts then.
"But-
She was already in the bathroom changing.
*...Great*
She came back out wearing a bikini suit with a towel on her shoulder. Joseph looked at her perfect body and his member immediatley came out. He quick ran to the bathroom with his backpack trying to hide it. He closed the door and looked down to see something pointing upward through his pants.
*Oh Arceus* He waited a while for it to go down before he changed his pants. He then got out of the bathroom.
"Ready to go. She said.
"Yea.
They walked out of the room and went downstairs to the deck. Joseph tried to keep his cool whenever he passed saliors but they didn't stop to ask him questions.
*So far so good* When they reached the pool it was almost empty only 2 kids, a boy and a girl playing in, perhaps 7 or 8 years old and the Slowbro was still running the stand. That made Autumn smile. There was a lifeguard on a small tower where a Buizel sat on.
"So...what now? Joseph said looking at the Slowbro.
"We get in of course. She dipped herself into pool and she touched the floor of the pool.
"Right... Joseph took off his shirt,shoes, and socks and got in. Joseph shivered a little when he got into the water but got used to it after a while.
"So...what now- "You just want this to get over with b/c you don't want to see me partially naked am I right. She said looking at herself.
"Yea pretty much.
"So you just think its awkward swimming with a partially naked friend. She had her hands on her hips.
"...yea. He said looking somewhere else.
"What did I say about looking at me when I'm speaking no matter what huh. She swam to him and put her hands on his head turning it towards hers.
"What-
"You need to stop thinking of me as some stranger in a cute bikini and think of me as a friend alright. She said to him softly.
He nodded.
"Glad we got that straightened out now... She splashed a wave in his face.
He took the splash and he sent an even bigger wave at her. She was consumed by the wave. When the wave disappeared she was gone.
"Autumn...where are you-
Autumn came from behind him and duncked his head underwater by suprise. She stood on his back like a surfboard while he tried swimming to the surface.
Air bubbles came out from underwater and Autumn knew she had to get off his back, but she was then pulled by her feet into the water. She held her breath and Joseph went to the surface to get some air then came right back down still keeping her underwater.
She started flailing her arms everywhere until Joseph thought she had enough. He let go and she propeled out flying to the surface. Her head bobbed as her long flowing hair was in tangles.
"Don't ever...ever do that to me again...ever. She said trying to regain her breath.
"...sorry I-
"You take things to seriously sometimes you know. She laughed.
Joseph gave out a weak smile.
"Hey lets play chicken fight. The little boy in the pool said to his sister/friend.
"But Jason theres only two of us. The little girl said looking around until she saw Autumn and Joseph.
"Hey do you's two want to play chicken fight. The girl said shyly.
Joseph and Autumn looked at each other and then back at the girl.
"Sure. Autumn said smiling.
"Ok then its boys and girls. She said.
"You are so on Autumn. Joseph said smirking.
"Autumn...thats a pretty name...my names Tory and his name is Jason. She pointed at the boy.
"Thats a nice name. Autumn said blushing b/c she called said her name was pretty.
"Whats your name? Jason said.
"Joseph.
"Hmmm are you like boyfriend and girlfriend and did you's two smooch together. The Tory said giggling.
"No! No we're just-
"Its ok you two don't have to be defensive jeez besides...Joseph your a lucky man to be hanging out with that beautiful girl. Tory said laughing.
Joseph's cheeks started to turn red. He was both angry and embarressed at the same time. Autumn was also blushing.
"Ok can we please play chicken fight now! Jason yelled out.
"Sure.
It was the boys against the girls. Joseph had Jason on his shoulders and Autumn had Tory on her shoulders.
"Your going down Tory! Jason yelled out.
The fight began.
Jason and Tory's arms were locked together trying to push one another off. Joseph tried moving forward but Autumn was kicking at him.
"Your cheating! Joseph yelled at Autumn.
"This isn't cheating!
"Joseph I've got her give it all you've got and shove Autumn! Joseph did he ignored Autumns kicks and Jason gave out a last push and Tory went tumbling down. Autumn kicked Joseph in the face and he dropped Jason. Autumn fell down floating on the surface of the water. Joseph fell over her closing his eyes. He felt something soft,warm and sweet.
He opened his eyes and saw that his lips were touching Autumns. She looked down and saw this. Joseph immediatley got off of her and then got out of the pool.
Autumn got into a standing position and put her fingers to her lips. She looked at Joseph who was blushing.
"I'm sorry it was an accident, I'm sorry so sorry. Joseph was sending out a barrage of sorrys.
"Joseph stop ok...it was just an accident like you said... She got out of the pool and sat on a chair.
"I should get back to the room. Joseph said putting his shirt on and then leaving.
She didn't say anything but just sit there looking down.
"SORRY!
*Oh just shut up already I forgive you*
Jason and tory emerged from the water.
"So who won. Tory said.
"Well isn't it obvious me and Joseph won. Jason ssid snickering.
"Autumn tell him that we won.
"...I'm sorry...I have to go. Autumn said getting up.
The kids just looked at her as she walked away.
…back at the room…
He changed when he got in and ate the rest of the breakfeast Autumn brought him.
"I need someone to talk to...Fungas,Alpha,Tricksy come on out. He pressed the center button of the Pokeballs. The three Pokemon came out.
"Hi you guys- Tricksy stared at him squinting her eyes - and...girl. She stopped squinting.
"I just needed to have someone out here to keep me company thats all. He said. Suddenly the he heard a knock on the door. He ran to it and locked it.
The knobbed turned but never opened.
"Hey! Why did you lock me out of my room! Let me in. Autumn said with a bit of anger in her voice.
"Uh...I have my reasons!
"If you don't open this door, I'm having Harmony- She stopped talking.
"You left your Pokeballs in the room didn't you... Joseph said laughing a little.
"Joseph please open the door or...or...
"Or what?
"Or I'm telling the captain that you snuck on board.
"You wouldn't... Joseph said leaning against the door.
"Grrrrr! Joseph come on! She was pounding on the door.
"Ha! I'll let you in when its the middle of the night.
"I'm gonna get tan out here...please Joseph please...I just wanna talk to you...please... Joseph heard a little bit of sorrow in her voice and he couldn't stand it.
He sighed.
"Fine just hold on.
He got his Pokeballs then opened up a window and climbed out. His Pokemon looked at him with curious faces. He gave them a hand sign telling them to unlock the door. As soon as Alpha did using his fangs, Joseph returned them all and quickly closed the window.
Autumn opened the door and saw no one.
"Joseph come out I want to talk.
Joseph was already climbing to the top of the boat all the way up to the watchmens tower.
"Joseph we can talk about this. She opened the window and looked around but had no luck of finding him.
The watchtower was a small glass room that had an elevator leading down. It had a couch and a telescope. A man was sitting on the couch looking through the telescope. He watched the sea's until he saw a person's hand reaching up.
"What the-
Joseph was now standing at the edge of the watchtower. He turned his head and saw the man. He knocked on the glass and the man got up then opened up a window. Joseph climbed through with a scared face.
"I thought I was gonna fall. Joseph said shaking.
"What were you doing out there, you crazy or something. The man shoke his head.
"Trying to avoid someone thats all sir.
"Was it really that serious...to climb all the way up here...please explain.
"Sir I believe you wouldn't want to hear it.
"Try me. The man wanted to know why he was avoiding this person.
"Well...ok. Joseph explained every bit of detail besides him sneaking on board. The man sat on the couch with him not showing any expression.
"And after that I climbed up here...so yea there you go.
"Sunny let me tell you something. The man patted him on the back.
"What that I should talk to her about...the K-I-S-S that happened on accident.
"Yes you should talk to her about it, if like you said she forgived you then maybe she...kinda...digs you. He winked at him.
"Uh we're just friends and we promised no matter what we would always be friends-
"Well then how come she didn't get mad huh...has she ever been mad when you touched her.
"Uh no...
"Well then there you go she likes you.
"But-
"It'll all work out kid now go take the elevator and talk to her I don't want to see you climbing this tower ok your not a Mankey.
Joseph walked into the elevator and pressed 3rd. As the elevator went down he felt sick. He didn't want to confront Autumn feeling like this but he knew he had to talk to her sometime.
Just when the elevator stopped. The door opened and he saw Autumn just getting out of her room wearing new clothes.
*I change my mind* He dashed out just in time when she looked towards the elevator.
She walked to the elevator and looked both ways. She saw no one so she turned back.
*That was your chance to get it over with* Joseph peeked and saw Autumn staring at him.
*NO!* "Get over here! She ran to him. He tried running away but she just grabbed him arm before he could even make an inch.
"You have been avoiding me and I know why lets talk about it in the room.
"Aren't you mad at all! He yelled out.
"Lets just talk about it inside come on. She dragged him to the door and they got in. He sat on the bed looking at the ceiling.
She locked the door behind her.
"Why did you...lock it?
"That way you don't escape. She turned around and leaned against the door.
"I'm sorry that I-
"No! Stop saying that I'm tired of it! She yelled out.
Joseph thought of another way to say it.
"I apologize for what happened- She walked up to him and slapped his across the cheek.
"Stop apologizing! She was mad now.
Joseph rubbed his cheek, it burned as he touched it.
"Then what is there to say just take your anger at me!
"Your just to...nice ok...I'm tired of you apologizing for stupid stuff like when you almost saw me naked by the river, you freaked out! Or how about when you were climbing that rock wall, when I pulled you up we were still holding hands and you quickly jerked it away all nervous.
"Whats wrong with me respecting your privacy or your space I respect you I don't understand.
"When you kissed me, it was an accident yet you walk away all scared...tell me this...
"What is it? He leaned his ear closer to her.
"Do you have-
"GYARADOS!
She stopped talking and stared out the window. There sure was a Gyarados a giant one too.
"We have to get to a lifeboat. He grabbed the Pokeshooter off the table and put it into his backpack. He picked up Autumns backpack and slung it over his shoulder while the other was in his hand.
"But I really need to ask you this-
"We leave now. He grabbed her by the wrist and ran out the door.
They walked down the stairs until they were on the deck. The Slowbro was looking up at the giant Gyarados that was infront of the ship. He showed no sign of fear. He was like an ant to it.
"Slowbro! Autumn yelled out. The Slowbro looked back at her and smiled.
"What do you think your doing! She yelled. He just gave her a thumbs up and stared at the Gyarados straight in the eyes. His eyes glowed blue and the Water/Flying started floating in the air.
*What power* Joseph thought.
Soon the Gyarados fell back down to the ocean with a big splash and even more angrier.
"We'll Psychic Pokemon do have their limits when lifting something that big with their minds. Joseph said rubbing his neck.
The Gyarados looked at the Slowbro and spewed out a blue and orange flame out of his mouth.
"Dragon Rage! They both yelled out.
The Slowbro could do nothing but stand there to endure the hit. It did and once the flames subsided the Slowbro was standing there. He didn't move for a moment and then he fell to the floor.
"I hope he doesn't resist when I catch him. Autumn said throwing a Pokeball at him. He got inside and it moved.
...1...2...3
"Wow now your one Pokemon ahead from me. Joseph said looking at his four Pokeballs that were clipped to his belt.
"I'm just gonna keep him until we find safety.
"Get on the lifeboats everyone! We have to leave fast! A salior shouted. Autumn and Joseph looked at the lifeboats and saw that there was only one left almost full.
They ran to it until they saw Jason and Tory running to it.
"Theres only room for 3 more people. The salior said.
"You three go I'll stay here. Joseph said taking out a Pokeball.
"You'll be Gyarados chow don't be an idiot! Autumn shouted.
"Jason, Tory get on the boat. They did but they felt bad about him.
"Don't be a hero!
He threw a Pokeball at the ground gently. Fungas came out.
"You can't battle something that big!
"Get on the boat Autumn!
She just stared at him for a while and then she quickly leaned in and kissed him on the lips.
"For goodluck we're still friends-
He pushed her on the boat and the other people on it caught her.
"Fungas cut the ropes. He slashed them and the boat quickly fell down onto the ocean floor.
"Be careful! She yelled out.
He nodded and then he went to the middle of the ship. He rolled up his sleeves and stared at the mighty sea serpent. The Gyarados roared out loud.
"You wanna go...then lets go. He threw all three of his Pokeballs into the air and Tank,Alpha, and Tricksy came out.
The Gyarados let ou a battle cry and he shot out a high pressure blast of water from its mouth.
"Split! Tank and Fungas jumped to one side while Tricksy and Alpha leapted the other. The pressure of the water hit the wooden floor of the dock shattering wood chips in his face.
"Alpha and Tricksy use Dark Pulse! Fungas Poison Powder! Tank max power Mirror Shot! The two Dark Types shot out a blast of dark energy beams at the monster. It ifflicted very little damage and only made it angrier. The Mirror Shot struck one of the serpents eyes blinding it. The cloud of poison touched the enemy and it started glowing purple.
The Water/Flying Type started flailing its tail at the deck smashing the sides of the ship. Water started flowing in from the sides.
"We have to end this quick everyone! The Gyarados started charging a white ball in its mouth.
*Hyper Beam*
Tank...are you able to...use Hyper Beam? Tank shook his head telling him no.
"Well theres always a first time for everyone! Now lets do this, lets finish this...HYPER BEAM! Tank closed his eyes and concentrated. He opened his mouth and Joseph saw a small orb of white light.
"Your getting there Tank. The Gyarados was just almost done launching its ultimate weapon.
"Tricksy and Alpha Dark Pulse! The blast of the two combined making a even bigger beam. It struck the Gyarados white ball of energy and exploded it. The serpent shrieked in pain. It began charging a new one but with more power.
Joseph looked at how Tank was doing. He was giving it all he got. A huge ball of white energy filled its entire mouth. It looked like light show.
Alright...let loose your own Hyper Beam Tank! Just when Tank shot out the Hyper Beam the Gyarados shot out its own. The two collided with each. The serpents beam looked like it was winning.
"Fungas...can you use Solarbeam. After what Fungas saw from Tank he nodded his head telling him he could try. His mushrooms took in the light of the sun.
"Tricksy and Alpha back Tank up! They combined their Dark Pulse together and shot at the serpents Hyper Beam aiding Tank.
"You can do it Fungas I know you can. *I can do this* Fungas thought. He started glowing white. "Your...evolving?
Fungas turned into a solid white color and then white sparkles sprang up into the air revealing himself in another form. His eyes were solid white with no pupils. His back was a huge mushroom that was red with yellow stripes. His claws were bigger now and his legs longer.
"Great...NOW LETS FINISH THIS EVERYONE!
Fungas shot out his Solarbeam attack and helped out Tank and the two Dark Types.
The 4 beams worked together against the fierce Hyper Beam of the sea monster. A big ball of rainbow energy formed in the middle of the 5 attacks.
"This isn't gonna be good! The sphere grew larger and larger until it was the size of a mansion.
The sphere exploded.
*I sure hope hes alright* Autumn thought.
She then saw a big flash of light far away in the distance. Everyone else saw this and wondered what it was.
"Joseph!
Wooden planks were flying out of the sky. Stuffing from the chairs and couches fell down. Tiny bit of ashes came down like snow. Joseph was knocked out hanging onto a broken plank. He felt the embers falling on his hands they burnt him and he woke up.
"Huh...Tank! Alpha, Tricksy! Fungas! He looked around turning his head in a 180° degree angle.
He heard a bark. He turned towards the noise and saw the entire party on a wide thick piece of wooden plate.
"Thank you Arceus you four are alright.
He swam to them getting on. He shivered when he got out of the water. Alpha and Tricksy came over to him trying to keep him warm.
"You four did awesome. Tank you learned Hyper Beam and Fungas you evolved into a parasect and learned Solarbeam. Great work.
They sat there in the sun for hours until it became dark.
"Do yous think they would come back for us? The Pokemon nodded.
"Lets hope...because hope is all we have now...besides family. The Pokemon came together to keep one another warm through the night.
They drifted away at sea, letting the wooden plate that kept them on take them wherever it pleased. They slept through the night.
The sun came back out shining down on them. Joseph quickly woke up and his eyes started to adjust to it. He looked around.
They were on a island with palm trees and grass and looks of exotict plants.
"Everyone wake up...we found land. He got up and walked around the shore. His shoes touched the soft smooth sand. He explored the island. He saw Mankeys on tree's eating bananas.
"Huh...hey you guys uh...hows it-
The Mankeys looked at him and then offered him a banana.
"Uh thanks. He took it and walked away.
*Huh usually when you look at a Mankey they would just get mad at you and chase you* He ate the banana quietly exploring the island somemore.
He saw a waterfall and auickly went up to it. He started drinking from it. His throat was dry and he felt like he could drink an entire lake. He was that parched.
"I found fresh water everyone! He shouted. His Pokemon appeared out of the forest and they all drank from it.
After they were done, they relaxed. Alpha and Tricksy played with each other and getting to know one another.
"Autumn was right...I just need to relax. He put his hands behind his head and kicked his legs out.
Tank was smashing boulders eating iron ore and Fungas was eating fruits and leaves.
*Man this is like...heaven* He looked at the sky and saw a rainbow with a bird flying over it. It had orange wings feathers as its tail wing. Its wings were red,green, and white. Its belly was white and it had golden curly hair and a yellow beak.
"Whats that?
He heard muffling from his backpack and he unzipped it.
"Ho-Oh. The Rainbow Pokemon. It possesses seven-colored wings. It is said that those who see Ho-Oh are promised an eternal happiness. The Pokedex said from the backpack.
"Huh and I think thats why we were lucky to land ashore here...thank you Mythical Flying Bird Of Awesomeness.
They sat there for a while until they heard something in the air. He got up and followed the noise. He went back to the shore and saw something flying from a distance.
*Rescue Team* Joseph thought. He smiled.
"Everyone get over here! The four came.
"Tank use Hyper Beam up in the air. He did and it consumed a quarter of his energy. It flashed through the sky. The helicopter turned and saw it.
"Everyone we're going home. He smiled.
Autumn sitting on a bench in the Pokemon Center. She was getting her Pokemon checked out. Everyone was fine besides the Slowbro. She walked up to the desk to get her pokemon back.
"Ok your Pokemon are back to full health please come again. Nurse Joy said smiling.
"Thanks. Autumn said giving a weak smile.
She walked out with them. She took out Slowbro from his Pokeball.
"Ok Slowbro we're at a nice safe area I think you'll be much happier here so...I'm gonna let you go.
The Slowbro shook his head.
"Oh so you want to travel with me...sweet now I can taste your smoothies all the time! Slowbro was blushing now.
They walked away back to the docks to see if Joseph ever came back.
"They didn't find him...what if he...no he had to make it...he just had to... She sat by the docks with her Slowbro. They waited for hours but he never came back.
*What if hes gone, I did see that white flash but he just has too make it*
They waited a while longer. The moon came out.
She was starting to get worried.
"I want to believe hes ok but...its been like hours and hours...hes not coming back...maybe I should just-
She looked at the ocean and saw a helicopter coming.
*Oh please be him, please be him. She crossed her fingers.
The helicopter landed on the helipad, the blades stopped.
The doors opened up.
"So you took on a rampaging Gyarados and defeated it in an ending blow of giant explosion. A guy said talking to someone.
"Yea he was tough though but had to give it all we got. A 16 year old looking teen said as he stepped out of the helicopter.
"And then you ended up at a-
"Joseph... Autumn said.
Joseph looked towards the person who said his name. He smiled.
She ran up to him and he opened his arms wide out. She embraced him.
"You had me worried there...don't be a hero next time ok.
"I can't promise that but I'll try not to.
"I'm just glad your back. She hugged him tighter.
"Yea sorry about pushing-
She slapped him.
"What did I say about being sorry. She had her hands on her hips now.
"Not to-
She kissed him on the cheek.
"Just shut up.
"But...fine.
*When am I gonna tell him what I'm feeling about him...I'm can't decide if I want to be-*
"Hey. He said.
"Yea. She said.
"Friends stick together.
"Your right on that one. She said smiling.
*Maybe some other time* She thought.
"Lets get some sleep I'm tired. He said
They went to the Pokemon Center, rented a room and slept individually.
