Anime Survivor: OS
Side Story Two
The Imperial Palace resonated silence. Which just happened to make Tiamat edgy. "The Outer Scouts, the pink spore, two flirty guys, a flying stuffed lion, eight hopped on sugar digidestined, and one mentally unstable sister… and I can't find any of them!" she muttered to herself.
It had been like this ever since she had come back from the first tribal council, noone, anywhere. "Michie! I swear! If you don't come out now, I'm gonna… I don't know what! But I'll do it!" Tiamat yelled out.
"Geez! Ya wanna blow a guardian beasts eardrums or what?"
Tiamat turned around in surprise. "Kero! Where is everyone?"
Kero flew over onto Tiamat's shoulder. "First, who got voted off?" he questioned.
"Meiling," Tiamat answered exasperatedly, "now where is everyone?"
"Her?! Well, that's what I expected, but now I have to listen to her whining everyday."
"Kero? The answer to my question please."
"Hmmm? Oh yeah, there all at the beach."
"At seven in the morning? Are they all crazy?"
"Probably. Your sister, definitely. Hey where is Meiling?"
"In the garden dealing with her emotional tragedies."
"I think I'll go help. See ya!" With that Kero took off from Tiamat's shoulder and flew down the hall toward the garden.
"The beach? At seven in the morning?" Tiamat shook her head in disbelief.
Still wondering over her sister's sanity, Tiamat walked through the palace, her footsteps echoing behind her, and then into the bright sunlight of early morning. "The quickest way to the beach…" Tiamat mused, "Ah! Perfect!"
Around the palace was a clear, glassy moat that ran out through the forest toward the ocean. Tiamat smiled and took out a pokeball. "Let's go Dewgong!"
The white seel Pokemon splashed into the water. Tiamat climbed atop it and directed it toward the ocean.

"Service!" yelled Yolei as she spiked Upamon over the net.
"Got 'im!" Davis replied.
And so it continued, with Yolei, Cody, Willis and Kari on one team, against Davis, TK, Sora and Mimi, whacking Upamon back and forth between them. Not far away lay all four outer scouts, including Rini and Mina sunbathing comfortably with Michie, who was watching Brock and Tracey swim off shore.
"So, Rini," Michie said, turning toward the junior scout, "honestly, who do you like better, Helios or Peruru?"
"That's none of your business!" blushed Rini.
"Fine," Michie turned back to watch the two guys, "You know, Ti would go absolutely ballistic if she saw Tracey without a shirt."
"Looks like she'll get the chance." Michiru commented, looking inland.
Coming fast toward them was Tiamat astride her Dewgong, kicking up a gigantic plume of spray behind them. "Kinda reminds you of Jessiebell, doesn't it?" Michie mused.
"Who's Jessiebell?" asked Rini.
"Nevermind."
"Where the hell have you been Michie!" Tiamat yelled as Dewgong beached itself.
"I've been here since seven o'clock last night, where've you been?"
Tiamat looked at her sister in disbelief and dismounted from Dewgong, tripping on a small dune of sand on the way down. Muttering to herself the authoress recalled her Pokemon and stalked over to Michie. "Where have I been?! Where have I been?! I have been overseeing the first tribal council, then back here looking all over for- oh my God. Tracey. Without a shirt on. And if I wasn't so pissed off at you, I might actually enjoy that little pleasantry! Now, answer me this, how are, why are you here, at the beach at seven in the morning?"
"Well," Michie began, "I had four triple-shot lattes last night and I'm still wired."
"So you brought everyone not participating with you?"
"Well, yeah, if I have to suffer they do to."
Tiamat sighed letting her shoulders drop. "Mind if I join you?"
"Sure, I doubt it would matter if I said no." Michie smiled.
"Darn right." Said Tiamat, snapping her fingers and instantly changing into her swimsuit, "Tracey! I'm coming!"
"Run Tracey! Or swim, whatever." Michie yelled across the water.
Tracey looked up, spotted Tiamat, and dived into the water.
"Michie! After I catch Tracey, I'm gonna come back and hurt you!" yelled Tiamat before she jumped into the water after Tracey.
"Oh, yeah, I totally believe you." Michie said boredly as she lay back on her towel.

Late in the afternoon, the whole gang was making their way back toward the Imperial Palace. "That caffeine wearing out yet?" Tiamat turned toward her sister.
Michie yawned. "I think so, I might actually get some sleep tonight."
"Thank God." Tiamat said wryly.
A ringing began emanating from Michie's towel. She looked in surprise at the towel, then fished through it and brought out a cell phone. "Hello?… Five minutes?… Kay! See ya then, bye!" With that she hung up.
"And who was that?" Tiamat asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Lorn. She said she'll be here in five minutes." Michie replied.
Davis looked up at the sky. "Who's Lorn and how is she gonna get here?"
"Lorn," Michie answered, "is a fellow classmate, fanfic writer, and Digimon and Pokemon fan. And she will get here with the help of her incredibly talented Ditto."
The whole group stopped and sat where they stood to wait. After a short time, Rini shot up from her seat and pointed to the sky, "There she is! At least I think so!"
Through the evening clouds plummeted a sleek Pidgeot. The Pokemon angled down and backwinged to land in front of Michie. From atop the Pidgeot a short, dark-haired girl, with glasses and pigtails, jumped to the ground. "Michie!" she cried.
"Lorn!"
The two friends ran and gave each other a big hug and started jabbering about who-knows-what. Tracey took out his sketchbook and started sketching the Pidgeot. "This Pidgeot's feathers are incredibly shiny. I've never seen a finer specimen." He observed.
"Oh, I have." Tiamat drooled.
Michie stopped her conversation with Lorn and looked at Tiamat. "He was talking about the Pokemon Ti."
"I knew that." Tiamat defended.
"Hmmm, that Lorn isn't all that bad herself, I wonder if she has a sister." Brock thought aloud.
"No," Tiamat growled, "she's got a brother, I should know."
"Um, I don't mean to alarm anyone," interrupted Tracey, "but something's wrong with this Pidgeot!"
Everyone turned around and watched as Lorn's Pidgeot started glowing and shrinking until it formed into a small pink blob. "Ditto!" it chirped.
"Oh, I get it now! Her Ditto flew her here!" Tracey said.
"Forgive me for being rude, but what's a Ditto?" Cody questioned.
"A Ditto is a Pokemon with only one attack, transform, which it uses to morph itself into the enemy Pokemon." Supplied Brock.
"It's the best and cutest Pokemon of them all!" Lorn beamed.
"Yeah, it's indispensable in Gold and Silver." Tiamat said sarcastically.
"Let's not get into how Ditto and Snorlax do it. Our teenage minds are warped enough." Cautioned Michie.
"But it's a very interesting subject." Tiamat pressed.
"Yeah… could we go have dinner?" Lorn asked, jumping up and down excitedly.
"Yes, of course, but, I'll have you know, both you and Michie are on sugar restriction." Replied Tiamat.
Lorn gaped at Tiamat. "But you have a gigantic bag of sugar in your larder!"
"How? I mean… what makes you think there's sugar in the palace?" Tiamat stuttered.
"I had Ditto transform into a Diglett to dig into the cellar and scope out the food situation. You wouldn't believe how hard it was to restrain Ditto from eating the sugar. I wonder why Pokemon love sugar so much?" Lorn wondered.
Michie looked at her sister, "Didn't you put all the Digimon and Pokemon…"
"Oh God," Tiamat's eyes widened, "this can't be good."
Tiamat took off into the palace followed closely by the rest of the gang. "What's going on?" Mina asked as she sprinted alongside Michie.
"Well," Michie replied, "Ti was an idiot and put the Pokemon and Digimon in the room right above the cellar, and you know how smell can carry through those vents."
Tiamat stopped and slid across the floor, passing the door she wanted and crashing into the wall. She quickly got up, unfazed, and ran into the cellar.
"NO! NononononoNOOOO! My life's blood! How do you expect me to survive on this god-forsaken island for another thirty-six days?!" Tiamat broke down, kneeled on the ground and started sobbing.
Sitting in the middle of the ground with the large bag of sugar between them was all the Pokemon belonging to Ash's clique, along with the digidestined's Digimon. "What's her problem?" Gomamon asked around a mouthful of sugar.
"You just ate her entire sugar supply." Michie stated blandly.
"She's an author, isn't she? It's not like she can't get anymore." Biyomon volunteered.
Tiamat stopped sobbing and got up, "That's right! Michie? Your mirror please."
"What?!" Michie exclaimed, "It's my mirror! Get your own darn mirror!"
"Just gimme the darn mirror." Tiamat said, wrenching the mirror from Michie's fingers.
Michie glared at Tiamat as her older sister reached in and pulled out a large bag of sugar identical to the one mauled by the 'mons.
"OK. Everyone out!" ordered Tiamat as she placed the sugar in a corner.
"See, this is why she doesn't have a boyfriend." Explained Michie on the way out.
"Michie, shut up or I'll kill you."
"I love you to Ti."

Author's Note: If anyone has ever played the new Pokemon Gold and Silver games, and has gotten the new babies like Smoochum or whatever, they'll understand the whole Ditto, Snorlax concept. Also, sugar will be a recurring theme, because, one, my sister's friend Lorn is hopped on it all the time (I wonder how she gets to sleep at night), and two, it just will be. On a side note, all the people that have requested cameos so far have been recorded, so don't worry. But I am still looking and hoping for more. When I get to the point where I need info, I'll post what I need in an upcoming story or just e-mail all that have asked. Hopefully I should have the next ep. Up faster than I did the last one.
