Once again, disclaimer...

I don't own Pokemon or anything other than D'sak, a stuffed Pikachu doll, the games on which this Nuzlocke is based on, and (yay! Finally!) the computer I am typing this story up on.

If I did own Pokemon, this story would be in book form, not on a fanfiction website.

chapter nineteen: dreams are your subconscious. Damn, I'm fucked up.

Lavender Town actually was the quiet city the games had made it out to be. It was respected -rare for a town near the very large cities of inner Kanto. But Vermillion, Saffron, nor Lavender interested me at the moment. It was Celedon that I wanted.

Celedon was one of those big towns that attempts to clean up for the many visitors it acquires. It was pretty nice, just a bit rough around the edges. The drug addicts and prostitutes tended to stay around the perimeter of the city.

Malls, Casinos, and Gyms galore. Perfect. Well, actually just one of each, but you get my drift.

I grabbed up a few things before I went to those three things: the tea to get into Saffron, and the Eevee.

"Zarmin." I named him.

He made my team full, and the seven of us went to the mall.

"Uh, if anyone wants to stay out here, they're welcome to." I smirked.

They all decided to follow.

If there is one thing that I love to do girly, it's shop. Mostly it's for video games, but clothes shopping is fun too!

MANY HOURS LATER

"I'm sorry! I like shopping! I am a girl!" I sighed at Dean.

The sun was setting yet again as we walked to the Pokecenter.

He poked a vine at one of the many bags I was holding.

"Yes it was all necessary!" I scolded.

He reached in it and pulled out a water stone.

"It's for Zarmin!" I sighed.

My Eevee popped his head up at the mention of his name.

I set the stone in front of him.

"Uh... What do I do?" I asked.

Dean threw his vines up, exasperated, and threw the stone at Z.

Before the stone hit him, it encased him in a blue light. When it disappeared, I had a Vaporeon.

"Come on, ya nutcases." I smirked.

We were about to crash on another couch when the Nurse Joy stopped us.

"Miss Monroe? I have a room reserved for you."

Oh! It was probably Gary again. He was so nice!

And also pissed off at me the last time I saw him.

"I'm just gonna stay on the couch..." I said.

"No. The man insisted."

I was a little shocked at her roughness, but the hot showers in the rooms were calling my name.

"Ahhh..." I sighed under the hot water.

I fell asleep in the large, warm bed soon after I exited.

My Pokemon crowded around me, happy to be on a bed and not a couch.

The dream was odd... It was a dream where I had a bad dream. Dream me woke up, frightened, and then arms wrapped around her, kissing her head.

"It is alright, my dear." Giovanni whispered.

I sat up, gasping for breath, glad to be out of that nightmare.

"What's wrong?" Giovanni asked, his hands grasping mine.

I screamed and the dreams lifted.

"Saur! Saur! Ivysaur!" Dean was yelling.

"Oh dear God!" I gasped.

A dream withing a dream within a dream. My head hurt more than when I watched Inception. (of course, an extra dream could be added depending on whether or not the Pokemon thing was a dream itself.)

Yet even though it was a dream, I could still feel Giovanni's arms around me. I shivered.

I glanced at the clock. 9am. Finally, I woke up at a normal time!

We were all still tired, but we got ready anyways.

It was time to face Erika.

chapter twenty: sorry Dean, but I still hate grass Pokemon.

I hugged my Pidgeotto.

"Okay, Sam! Erika will be a piece of cake, right?"

"Pigeotto!"

"That's my boy! Maybe after, we'll hit the Name Rater in Lavender. I'm thinking Ash..." I was now talking to myself more than Sam2.

We ran to the Gym, I almost leaving all my other Pokemon, but decided that would make me seem too cocky.

The Gym assaulted us with the smell of flowers and perfume. Eww.

"Welcome, young trainer. I am Erika of Celedon."

"I'm D'sak. This is Sam2. We're gonna battle you now."

"Oh, I was hoping we would just hang out!" Erika pouted. "That Gary boy stayed for a while!"

I didn't want to talk about Gary, especially after killing his Ratticate.

Erika frowned at my still glaring face.

"Very well. Go Gloom!"

The wicked smelling Pokemon lept out of it's ball.

"Arial Ace!" I cried.

Erika was astounded at how fast her Pokemon went down.

"Victreebell!"

"Wing Attack!"

Victreebell went down too. Sam didn't have a scratch on him.

"Vileplume, Gigadrain!"

A small chunk of HP fell.

"That's ok. Now use A-"

"Toxic!" Erika yelled.

Damn. I hate those two in a row hits.

"Arial Ace!" I yelled.

Only one hit left. I love me some type advantages!

Sam was still in green, so I thought nothing of still having him fight.

"Arial Ace, once more!"

"Again!" was all Erika yelled.

Gigadrain had dropped Sam's HP, so I dove into my bag for a Potion.

"Toxic." Erika growled.

My bag hit the floor.

"Not cool! I should get a chance to-"

I was cut off as Sam2 hit the ground.

"No..." I whispered.

Erika laughed evilly.

"Give up yet?"

I walked on the field and picked up Sam2. As I walked off, Dean lept out of his ball.

"Kill it." I whispered.

I could see the shadow of Dean destroying the Vileplume.

Erika tossed the badge at me.

"You don't care about Pokemon like I do! If you did, that Pidgeotto wouldn't be dead! You wouldn't have let your Ivysaur kill my Vileplume!"

Dean grabbed Sam2 as I ran at Erika and savored the feeling of her nose breaking under my fist.

"You can say that I'm a slut, you can say that I'm a horrible, unlovable person, but you do NOT say that I don't love my Pokemon!" I growled.

I think that punching Erika made me happier.

Reviews make me happy after chapters like this...
