Please, please, pretty, pretty please Review!

Meika

Chapter 14

Goosefoot

Kari enlarged Tangela's Pokeball, "Take a nice rest!" and a red beam of light swallowed Tangela and absorbed the immobilized mass of tangled weeds. Kari glared at the Tauros, that attack had clearly been pursuit so recalling her Pokemon during this fight to protect them would not be an option; in this case a good defense might best a great offense. "Geodude! You're up!"

Geodude burst onto the steel floor in a white flash of light. "Use Rock Polish!" Kari shouted and Geodude curled in his arms and its dull gray skin began to shine.

Maika rocked back and forth while sitting cross legged, her satin dress exposing her lower less and falling between her legs discreetly, "Pokey! Pokey! Poke!" she sang and Tauros charged towards Geodude with its horns lowered.

"Geodude, quick, use Rock Throw!" Geodude started throwing Rocks at Tauros as fast as it could, attempting to halt Tauros. Where the rocks came from is a question which should be answered some other day.

"Stop Hurting Taro!" Maika cried as Tauros failed and retreated from the rocks, "Taro, when others hurt you hurt them back!" Tauros then lowered its head and its eyes seemed to budge slightly, charging at Geodude.

"Get out of the way and use Defense Curl!" Kari called, noticing the enraged look in Tauros's eyes could not be a good sign. As Geodude attempted to leap out of Tauros's charge he was prodded by the thick horns, knocking Geodude a clear twenty feet across the battle floor.

Leaving a crater dent in the steel floor Geodude collected it's self and curled his arms around the middle of his body and gathered all his strength. Again Tauros charged towards Geodude, anger seemed to roll off of it in waves, "Geodude another round of Rock throw!"

Geodude again started pelting Tauros with rocks, as the Tauros took the abuse it seemed to become more furious and stronger. "Twinkle Twinkle little star, H I J K what you are. Q R S T U V Like a diamond in the sky" Maika sang to herself, somehow mixing the two childhood songs together.

Through the rocks Tauros charged and again prodded Geodude, his time sending him even farther, Geodude crashed into the steel wall behind Kari, beside Ginyuu. Ginyuu calmly glanced at the large rock, lodged within the metal crater. She sighed looking at the rock, "Shake everything and hit the joints," she whispered in a barely audible voice.

Maika's eyes widened and her brows furrowed.

Geodude then pried himself from the crater and hopped back on to the field. Kari glanced over the physical condition of Geodude, scratches everywhere, but most of his HP seemed intact."Geodude! Let's do rock throw again!"

Geodude then hopped into the air and slammed forcibly on the ground immediately the ground rumbled and the building shook violently, "What the?" Kari shouted, losing her balance and kneeling, "When did Geodude learn Magnitude?" she asked herself aloud. Geodude then Hopped into the air again and forcibly slammed down creating another round of violent shaking. Kari glanced up to see Maika had tumbled onto her back and failed her arms slightly, but more importantly Tauros was barely able to keep its balance.

"Geodude, Magnitude one more time and then Rock Throw!" Kari called, and Geodude obediently shook the ground once again, this time was stronger than the previous two, hanging lights over head banged into each other and burst with small fragments of glass raining as glitter across the field. Ginyuu stood on the side of the field, not a single hair was rustled by the shaking. Tauros managed to stay standing as the small glass fragments showered down on it, obscuring it's vision. Geodude took this moment to fling rocks towards Tauros's legs.

On impacted the one front knee directly, forcing Tauros to kneel on the shaking ground. Yet another rock crashed against the other front knee. Tauros then fell face first onto the steel floor, unable to gather the strength to stand.

"Time to finish it!" Kari called, Tauros was literally on its last legs, "Tackle!" Geodude then flung himself at Tauros.

Suddenly a red light swallowed Tauros before the tackle could make contact, returning the battered bull to its Pokeball.

The ref managed to get back to his feet and raised his flag on Kari's side, "Tauros has forfeited! Challengers point! The score is two to one in Challenger Hanazo Kari's favor!"

"Way to go Geodude!" Kari called. Amazingly Geodude's high defense had spared him most of the damage from the physical attacks and he had easily half of his health intact. Maika then stumbled to her feet, tightly holding Tauros's Pokeball in her arms. She walked across the field towards Kari. "Oh boy," Kari sighed slightly.

Maika's platinum blond hair swayed with each step, and her blank blue eyes seemed unfocused on Kari, Kari then sighed and slouched slightly, prepared for another insanity assault. Maika picked up speed walking directly past Kari. In surprised she turned around to see Maika stop right into front of Ginyuu, Ginyuu glanced up at Maika with cold eyes, void of emotion.

Maika then raised her hand and slapped Ginyuu loudly across her cheek. "You filth. I know exactly what you are you ugly bug, but I still allowed you within HER gym, and then you felt the need to taint it with you germs anyway. I do not care how radiant of a flower you feel you maybe, but I will not tolerate this improper action. Leave."

The ref appeared behind Maika and grasped her arms. "Maika-sama, return to the battle field this instant. Your actions are improper. This girl has committed no foul to your match."

Maika then clenched her fist and pulled her arms free, storming back to the battle field, pausing beside Kari. "That girls life was not as valuable as hers, yet she felt the need to interfere with your ability. That should make you sick. She should never even whisper a suggestion to your Pokemon again, do you understand?" Kari gasped and glanced at Ginyuu behind her, Ginyuu was calmly walking towards the double door exit, unfazed by the slap she had just received.

"But Gin-chan hadn't said or done anything..." Kari muttered.

"You are a naïve fool, she will take you to the death she should have died long ago." Maika then flipped her long hair and glared at Kari through blank blue eyes, "You never told, which is more impressive, A garden or a rose?"

"How about I tell you after we finish our gym battle?" Kari smirked.

Maika's expression suddenly brightened, "A gym Battle, well how fun! When can we get started?"

"As soon as you go to the other side of the gym and call out your last Pokemon..." Kari pointed to the opposite side.

"A B C D Little star..." She sang dancing across the crater filled steel floor. A gentle thump was heard as the doors behind Kari closed.

"I think I finally figured out how to get her to finish a stupid fight finally." Kari quietly sighed. Kari enlarged Geodude's Pokeball, it would be better to keep him in reserve. "Thank you Geodude! Return!" The red light engulfed Geodude and quickly disappeared within the Pokeball. "'Kay Jigglypuff! It's You Turn!" Kari called. In a white flash of light Jigglypuff hopped onto the battle field, ready as ever.

"Dizzy!" Maika called, on her side there was a white flash filled with sparks or stars and a tan and pink creature stumbled onto the field.

What a fitting final Pokemon.

A/n:

Okay I'm going to end it here because I am out of umph for this fight... they are so hard for me v.v so to make up for I have a little extra for you,(The name of the extra comes from one of the most catchy lines from the manga full moon wo sagashite) For those that don't know Twinkle Twinkle little star and the Abc's have EXACTLY the same tune, it took a while for me to mix the two together XDD

PLEASE PLEAS PLEASE REVIEW!

Today's flower language: Goosefoot: Insult, Goosefoot is a common plant occurring just about anywhere in the world with 150 different forms. Called "Chualar" in California from the name the Native Americans gave it and "Bluebushes" in Australia. They can be used a food, much like spinach though it's seeds can work as a Gluten substitute.

Leaving just a Bit of Loneliness

When I hatched the first thing I saw around me was a light bulb. Was the light bulb mommy? After all the light bulb was so nice and warm, that's what mommy's are supposed to be like, right? Stumbling towards the light I bathed in its warmth, around me were many pink eggs, they looked just like the one I had come from.

After falling asleep within the bright white glow and pleasant warmth a strange noises awoke me. Tall creatures took me away from mommy. Holding me firmly with two huge hands they spoke in a language I can now recognize.

After a long while the others emerged from their eggs as well, all going through the same process as I. First declaring the light bulb mommy, than being forcibly taken away.

The creatures abducting us we're called 'humans' and after a long period of being hand fed by them I noticed those around me no longer called the light bulb mommy. They referred to the humans as their parents instead. I was just one of many little pink masses being cared for by these humans. I don't think they could have ever old us apart from one another without consulting strange beeping objects. Eventually we were allowed to interact with more Pokemon our age. Elekids, Tyrouges, Magbys, Pichus and Smoochums out in the field. Though we were kept on a different side of a fence then much larger Pokemon, who were all much older than us.

One day the old head human told us all that we would be adopted by a human. They would come up and pick one of us to be their trusted partner. So we obediently pushed our ways into small glass jars which could become completely dark.

One after another I watched human girls walk up to my glass cage and look me right in the eye before picking either a Smoochum or a Pichu. Claiming their reason was that I had no real type advantage.

After seeing seventeen of my old friends having been claimed the head human came over to me and whispered, "If you want, the next trainer will pick you, but you must give her a big hug and make sure to tell her how much you want her to be yours."

So as Kari tried to pick one of us the glass jars were raised for the first time and she looked as though she would pick a Pichu. I couldn't take it so I followed his advice and lunged at Kari, tightly embracing what I could grasp.

She was so surprised by my sudden actions that she tumbled over. I heard the head human declare that she was now my trainer and I cheered with glee. I wanted to see a world where Pokemon take care of other Pokemon, outside of that boxed in field.

I have been so lucky, Kari has taken me outside of my prison of glass, and shown me much of the world with much more to come. I want to help her, even save her from her nightmares she seems to always have as she hugs me tightly at night. No matter what.
