US Journey part 13: The pokemon of lights or A little bit of Razzle Dazzle
By Xen
"Wow, so this is Las Vegas." Misty said as she watched the light.
"Yeah the city of light. Or is it the city of sin. Or is it the city where people waste their life savings. Or is it..."
"We get the picture."
"Well this is technically my home away form home." Isaac said.
"Why is that?"
"Well it is Las Vegas. It's the Holy Land of all performers. When the league was choosing locations, it was either Vegas or LA for the illusion gym. They chose LA."
"Why did chose LA?"
"It wasn't bright enough." Isaac does a rim shot (that's the ba dum ching a drum makes) with his drum sticks."
"Don't bang on the van." Jessie yelled.
"Sorry. Old habit."
"Where did you get the drum sticks?"
"Oh, they where in my jacket." Isaac inserted the sticks back in to jacket.
"Say Isaac. Is it true that there are all you can buffets here?"
"Yeah. Why?"
"Oh nothing. Quick Jessie to the hotel."
"You're going to buffet."
"But why?" James complied.
"Remember our honeymoon?"
"Yeah." James had a big smirk on his face.
"Not that part. The part where you went to buffet for a quick snack?"
"So?"
"You ate their entire food storage. They kicked us out. You're not doing that here. I want to come here later for an anniversary and I don't want to be banned form Vegas."
"OK. I won't go to buffet."
"Um, your so post to cross your fingers behind your back." Isaac said.
"Darn."
---------------------------------------------------------------
At the hotel Ash, Misty, and Isaac where in the lobby. "So what can do?"
"Well we can't gamble and since James is trying to go the buffet and Jessie is trying to stop him. I have no idea."
"What to check out the magicians guild?"
"There is a guild for magicians?"
"Sure, it's where we magicians hang out. We trade tricks, joke around, and try to think up new routines for our acts."
"Sounds like fun."
"Okay, but first. Magimn come out." Isaac released his magician pokemon. (Note: This was before called Magicman. To pronounce it now, just say magic man really fast.)
"Magi." The pokemon said.
"Why did release your Magimn?"
"Vegas is his home. When ever I come back, I let him out."
"I didn't know that Magimn are found here?"
"Well there are raised here, but your not going to get one Ash."
"Why?"
"Because, you gave to join our guild. There are few in the wild and they are very hard to catch. Anyway they are raised here, not found here."
"What are found here?"
"It's a pokemon of light. But you can only find them at a certain time of the year."
"A pokemon of light?" Misty asked.
"Light is one of the new types. There a strong pokemon, but hard to catch. Many of trainer becomes temporary blinded because of them. My brother has one, but you didn't see it because he doesn't like using it often."
"Well I'm going to catch one." Ash stood dramatically.
"Yeah right, mister pokemon master. Let's go and see the guild." Misty grabbed Ash by the ear and dragged him out the hotel. Isaac sighed.
"Are they always like this?" Pikachu merely nodded.
---------------------------------------------------------
James exited the elevator and was slowly walking towards the buffet area. 'Just a few more feet till it all that I can eat.' Just as James was about to enter the line a lasso tied around him.
"I thought I told you, you're not going to the buffet table."
"But I was just going in for a donut." Jessie dragged James away form the line. "But you can't do this! I wear the pants in the family."
"I wear the pants. You get the skirt." An idea into sprung into James head.
"Yes dear. I wear the skirt."
--------------------------------------------------------
"Welcome back to the guild Isaac. I assume that these are your friends?"
"Hi Bill. Yeah these are my friends Misty Williams and Ash Ketchum."
"Thee Ash Ketchum! It is a great honor to have such a great pokemon master in our humble guild."
"Um I'm here too." Misty said weakly.
"Cut the stage talk Bill. There just friends."
"But he's like the greatest pokemon master ever. It would seem dumb if I didn't say something cool and important sounding in front of him."
"And now you just said something stupid." Bill sweatdropped.
"That I did. So he is not here for the capture of light."
"The capture of light?" Ash and Misty asked.
"It's the time of year when the Razzles come out of hiding and can be captured. It a big tourist event and every trainer comes to capture one. I thought it later this year." Isaac explained.
"What's a Razzle?" Ash asked.
"A Razzle is the pokemon of light that I talk of. My brother has one, but it not as strong as the others."
"It would be a extra highlight to this event if Ash joined us."
"Well it up to Ash if he should join us."
"I never miss a chance it a new pokemon. I'm in."
"Can I come too."
"Sure the more the merrier. Allow us to go to meeting room for a briefing." Isaac guided Ash and Misty down a hall.
----------------------------------------------------------
Jessie was on the look out of James in case he tried to go back to the buffet. 'No sign of James. Lets see a large bald guy, a large family, a young couple, and a bellhop. No sign of him anywhere.' Just then, a pretty young blond woman came prancing along the lobby. 'Wait a minute. I know that prance anywhere.' Jessie went up to the woman. "Ah ha. Thought you could fool me James." Jessie pulled the woman's hair, but it only pulled the woman with it.
"How dare you." The woman said. "I'm not James! My name is Amanda. I suggest you get a pair of glasses." The women walked away.
'Darn. I thought for sure that was him." Jessie started to leave when she saw someone else. "You won't fool me this time James." Jessie grabbed the red headed woman leaving the lobby. Jessie pulled the wig off to reveal James hair.
"How did you know it was me?" James asked.
"That's my dress. I knew you try something like this."
"I'm sorry."
"You better be. Now lets go to our room and get you out of my dress." Jessie dragged James off to the elevator.
------------------------------------------------------------------
"So what is a Razzle?" Misty asked. Isaac pulled out a book form the self and turned to a page. On the page was a picture of small green lizard with small mirrors over it body. Most of picture was overexposed out one could see the pokemon in it.
"This is a Razzle. This is one of the better pictures of it."
"Why is the picture overexposed?"
"See the mirrors on its body? They reflect light very easily so they're hard to take a picture of."
"Well are they hard to capture?" Ash asked.
"They're not difficult, if you know what your doing, but Isaac wouldn't know that, would he?" A voice said form behind. Ash, Misty, and Isaac turned to face the person. The man was dressed in tux and had dark hair and eyes."
"Hello Enrqiue."
"I see that you couldn't find a Razzle on your own, so you brought in outsiders to catch one for you."
"These are new friends, not hired thugs. Which is something you would be using."
"Ha! As if you could prove such a thing. See you after the capture, with my new Razzle." Enrqiue left.
"What with him?" Misty asked.
"Enrqiue is the local legend of sorts. Over the years, he captured more Razzles then anyone else, but how he captures them, we don't know how. Some people believe he uses extreme measures like knock out gas, or laying deadly traps. Some say he evens shoots them and hires thugs to make his captures."
"That's horrible. Why hasn't anyone done anything about it?"
"Because we can't prove it. He always manages to avoid other trainer at the capture, then the next day we find him with about five or six new Razzles. The guild knows he doing something illegal, but we can't anything on him. But I'll show him. This year I will capture a Razzle and prove my worth."
"Well if its means that much to you, We'll help you out. Maybe you want to use one of my pokemon?"
"No Ash. If I'm going to do this I must do it on my own."
"Sounds just like you Ash." Misty said.
"I do not sound like that." Ash backfired.
"Do too."
"Do not."
"Do too."
"Do not."
"Are they going to be like this for long?" Isaac asked Pikachu. Pikachu nodded. "Then lets go get a drink."
"Pika!"
"Magi!"
"I knew you would like that." Isaac, Pikachu, and Magimn left leaving the two to their own devices.
-------------------------------------------------
"See we can have fun without going to the buffet." Jessie pulled down the handle the slot machine in front of her. "Darn I lost." Jessie put in another quarter and pulled the handle.
"I guess."
"I told you, you would have fun." Jessie put in another quarter.
"I guess." James got an idea. "Say Jessie, I'm going to get a drink. You want anything?"
"No. But don't go to the buffet." Jessie continued playing.
"I won't." James went out of the casino and towards the buffet. 'With Jessie busying playing, it's eaten time for me.'
----------------------------------------------------
Sunset. A few miles form Las Vegas. We find Ash, Misty, and Isaac in a jeep with Bill.
"Thanks for allowing us to ride with you, Bill." Isaac said.
"No prob. Anything for the great pokemon master."
"Cut it out. I'm a former champ."
"But you're here to become the American league champ. I know you'll make it."
"Stop sucking up Bill, your not getting anything form it."
"How dare you think I would use this time and opportunity to kiss up to a great pokemon master."
"Bill. Just drive." They drove on further till they reached the base of some high rocks.
"OK he we are."
"So, this is where we'll find them?" Misty asked.
"This is one of the areas where they could be found. They live under the ground by the rocks or mountains. There have been some early sightings here, so we well most likely find one around here."
"And so will just about everyone else. Let's go find a spot."
"Find a spot? Shouldn't we go and look for Razzles."
"That would be a dumb idea. Razzles travel in-groups. Many trainers get badly hurt and blinded because they look for them."
"So how are we so post to capture them if we can't get near them?"
"Well they come out form the surface to mate. After they mate, they are kind of tipsy and stray form the group. That's when we can capture them."
"Sounds like a wild party."
"That sounds kind of wrong."
"Well they mated, so it's not like where hurting the population." Bill said. They went by to a shallow area covered by some rocks. "I think here is good spot."
"Yeah it's good. We'll wait here." Everyone went inside the shallow area and waited. After waiting for about an hour, movement stirred the attention of Ash.
"I think there here." Isaac looked over the rock. Isaac saw some green hides that glimmered slightly in the moonlight.
"Yep their here. Um...Misty would mind not looking. It's not appropriate for the eyes of an women."
"I think I can handle a watching few pokemon." Misty stood and her eyes went wide in shock. Misty quickly went under holding her eyes in disgust. "That's disgusting! What in the world are they doing?"
"They're mating and I told you not to look."
"If you where wondering why they're tipsy after the mating, now you know why."
"I didn't want to know. And how can you look at it?"
"You get used to it."
"What's your excuse Ash?"
"At my age, any kind of sex looks good."
"We didn't need to that, but thanks for telling."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I wonder what's taking James so long?" Jessie said while playing the shots. It had been over a half-hour since James left. Just then, Jessie realized something as she pulled in the arm down. "Oh my. He wouldn't. He did." Jessie got up and ran for the buffet area. The shot machine Jessie was playing hit jackpot and Jessie ran back to collect the cash.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Everyone waited for about an hour, when a bright flash went through the area.
"What was that?" Ash asked.
"I hope it's not what I think it is."
"What could it be?" A roar swept though the desert.
"Daaaaaaaaaaaazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!"
"Oh it's him. Quick Bill the sunglasses." Bill handed everyone a pair of sunglasses.
"Why would need sunglasses in the middle of the night?" Misty asked.
"Put them on and look out there." Misty put on her shades and looked out form the rocks. Surrounded by the Razzles was a creature of what appeared to be of pure light.
"That's a Dazzle the evolved form of Razzle." Isaac explained. "His body is so reflective that the slightest bit of light covers his entire body. No one has ever seen the color of it's actual skin. That is currently the only on of it 's kind and he can't be captured."
"So what do we do?"
"We do nothing."
"I going to capture him." Ash started to go for his pokeballs, but Isaac grabbed him.
"I wouldn't do that Ash."
"Why not?"
"Because a Dazzle is high dangerous. Many trainers get killed because they try to get it. Besides its is most likely the leader of the group you would have to fight ever Razzle in the area to get to him. It's best to wait and let it leave."
"OK. I guess so." Ash sat back down.
"Sometimes Ash it is better to leave a pokemon on it's own then to capture them."
"Well at least we know nothing bad could happen?" Misty said. A screech went throughout the air. An explosion blasted out form the mating ground.
"What was that?"
"Someone's attacking the Razzles. But who would so stupid?"
"OK men, I want those Razzles." A voice said.
"That voice sounds familiar?" Ash said.
"That's Enrqiue! I would know that voice anywhere. He's not that stupid to attack them?" A bunch of explosions starred the Razzle and chaos ensued.
"They're going to stampede! Let's get out of here!" Everyone ran form there hiding spot and made a dash for the car, but someone saw them.
"Look boss. There are some people other there."
"Stop them." Enrqiue commanded. The men threw some pokeballs.
"Pikachu. Thunder."
"Pikachuuu!" Pikachu's shock stopped some of the pokemon but more kept coming.
"Magimn, use your ice beam." Isaac threw his pokeball.
"Magi." A beam of cold energy shot out of the pokemons wand. The beam froze the rest of the pokemon charging. A net fired over everyone and they became trapped.
"Got them boss."
"Good work." Enrqiue walked up to them. "Ah Isaac! So good to see you."
"The guild knew you hired thugs to capture your Razzles. But this? This is cruel. You could kill these pokemon."
"Like you'll be around to tell."
"What are you going to do to us?" Misty asked.
"Well I can't have you telling the guild." Enrqiue motioned to two of his men to come forward. "Kill them."
"You may kill us, but the Dazzle will kill you."
"That Dazzle you say? The Dazzle hasn't been sited in area for ages. You're just saying that so I won't kill you."
"But boss. What if there is a..."
"I tell you that there are no Dazzles here. If there was one here don't you think I would spot it. It's not hard to miss."
"Daazzzzzzzzzzzz!" The ground split open and the Dazzle jump out of the crack, followed by a herd of Razzles behind him.
"The Dazzle. Get him!" Enrqiue's command went unanswered as his men ran form the herd of mad Razzles. "Fine then. The Dazzle will be mine." Enrqiue pulled a gun out of his jacket and aimed at the Dazzle, which was chasing down one of the men fleeing. Just as Enrqiue was about to shoot a wand, hit the gun moving it off course, just barely missing the Dazzle.
"Give it up Enrqiue. You can't win this way." Isaac said. Pikachu had bitten though the rope allowing them to everyone get out.
"That's it your the goner." Enrqiue turned his gun towards Isaac. "Your brother not here to stop me now." Enrqiue was pulling the trigger but then a beam of light stuck him. The Dazzle emerged on top of his body. A bright light gathered form the Dazzle's horn. A bight flash engulfed the area and Enrqiue was gone.
"It didn't... It couldn't.... I never saw a pokemon do that." Misty managed to speak first. The Dazzle turned to face the gang.
"Oh man were going to die." Bill said.
"I don't think. I don't know why but I don't think he's going to harm us." The Dazzle motioned it head and a Razzle ran up to it. A few seconds later the Razzle left the Dazzle and ran to Isaac.
"Dazzzzzzzzzzzzzzz." The Dazzle the tuned around and burrowed underground.
"What just happened?" Misty said.
"I think it gave us one of its herd as a thank you for saving it. Am I right?" The little Razzle nodded. "I guess so. But who are you going with?" The Razzle nudged up to Isaac's leg.
"I guess he wants to go with you."
"OK." Isaac took a pokemon and threw it at the Razzle. The pokemon was engulfed inside the ball. It wiggled a few times then stopped. Isaac picked up the ball. "All right I got a Razzle!"
"Way to go."
"Just one step further to becoming the illusion gym leader."
"Well I guess we should be heading back. I'll go get the car." Bill left.
"I guess we should be getting back. We never told Jessie and James where we went. They must be worried by now." Misty said as they left for the car.
--------------------------------------------------
"Wow we didn't sleep the entire night. I'm beat." Ash said as they flopped into the conch in the lobby.
"Pika."
"Well we can sleep in the car. I wonder what Jessie and James did?" Misty said.
"They're a married couple. I'm sure they have plenty of ideas to keep themselves busy." Jessie came into the lobby rolling a much larger James in. Ash, Misty, Isaac Jaws dropped.
"What happened to him?"
"The buffet table that's what." Jessie said.
"It wasn't all that I could eat."
"You almost put the casino out of business. I hope you guys are well rested because, we have to stuff James into the van. I'll get the oil."
"Awwwwwww."
"Pika."

"Yeah the city of light. Or is it the city of sin. Or is it the city where people waste their life savings. Or is it..."

"I didn't know that Magimn are found here?"
"Well there are raised here, but your not going to get one Ash."

"But I was just going in for a donut." Jessie dragged James away form the line. "But you can't do this! I wear the pants in the family."
"I wear the pants. You get the skirt." An idea into sprung into James head.
"Yes dear. I wear the skirt."
--------------------------------------------------------
"Welcome back to the guild Isaac. I assume that these are your friends?"
"Hi Bill. Yeah these are my friends Misty Williams and Ash Ketchum."
"Thee Ash Ketchum! It is a great honor to have such a great pokemon master in our humble guild."

"Oh it's him. Quick Bill the sunglasses." Bill handed everyone a pair of sunglasses.
"Why would need sunglasses in the middle of the night?" Misty asked.
"Put them on and look out there." Misty put on her shades and looked out form the rocks. Surrounded by the Razzles was a creature of what appeared to be of pure light.
"That's a Dazzle the evolved form of Razzle." Isaac explained. "His body is so reflective that the slightest bit of light covers his entire body. No one has ever seen the color of it's actual skin. That is currently the only on of it 's kind and he can't be captured."
"So what do we do?"
"We do nothing."
"I going to capture him." Ash started to go for his pokeballs, but Isaac grabbed him.
"I wouldn't do that Ash."
"Why not?"
"Because a Dazzle is high dangerous. Many trainers get killed because they try to get it. Besides its is most likely the leader of the group you would have to fight ever Razzle in the area to get to him. It's best to wait and let it leave."
"OK. I guess so." Ash sat back down.
"Sometimes Ash it is better to leave a pokemon on it's own then to capture them."
"Well at least we know nothing bad could happen?" Misty said. A screech went throughout the air. An explosion blasted out form the mating ground.
"What was that?"
"Someone's attacking the Razzles. But who would so stupid?"
"OK men, I want those Razzles." A voice said.
"That voice sounds familiar?" Ash said.
"That's Enrqiue! I would know that voice anywhere. He's not that stupid to attack them?" A bunch of explosions starred the Razzle and chaos ensued.
"They're going to stampede! Let's get out of here!" Everyone ran form there hiding spot and made a dash for the car, but someone saw them.
"Look boss. There are some people other there."
"Stop them." Enrqiue commanded. The men threw some pokeballs.
"Pikachu. Thunder."
"Pikachuuu!" Pikachu's shock stopped some of the pokemon but more kept coming.
"Magimn, use your ice beam." Isaac threw his pokeball.
"Magi." A beam of cold energy shot out of the pokemons wand. The beam froze the rest of the pokemon charging. A net fired over everyone and they became trapped.
"Got them boss."
"Good work." Enrqiue walked up to them. "Ah Isaac! So good to see you."
"The guild knew you hired thugs to capture your Razzles. But this? This is cruel. You could kill these pokemon."
"Like you'll be around to tell."
"What are you going to do to us?" Misty asked.
"Well I can't have you telling the guild." Enrqiue motioned to two of his men to come forward. "Kill them."
"You may kill us, but the Dazzle will kill you."
"That Dazzle you say? The Dazzle hasn't been sited in area for ages. You're just saying that so I won't kill you."
"But boss. What if there is a..."
"I tell you that there are no Dazzles here. If there was one here don't you think I would spot it. It's not hard to miss."
"Daazzzzzzzzzzzz!" The ground split open and the Dazzle jump out of the crack, followed by a herd of Razzles behind him.
"The Dazzle. Get him!" Enrqiue's command went unanswered as his men ran form the herd of mad Razzles. "Fine then. The Dazzle will be mine." Enrqiue pulled a gun out of his jacket and aimed at the Dazzle, which was chasing down one of the men fleeing. Just as Enrqiue was about to shoot a wand, hit the gun moving it off course, just barely missing the Dazzle.
"Give it up Enrqiue. You can't win this way." Isaac said. Pikachu had bitten though the rope allowing them to everyone get out.
"That's it your the goner." Enrqiue turned his gun towards Isaac. "Your brother not here to stop me now." Enrqiue was pulling the trigger but then a beam of light stuck him. The Dazzle emerged on top of his body. A bright light gathered form the Dazzle's horn. A bight flash engulfed the area and Enrqiue was gone.
"It didn't... It couldn't.... I never saw a pokemon do that." Misty managed to speak first. The Dazzle turned to face the gang.
"Oh man were going to die." Bill said.
"I don't think. I don't know why but I don't think he's going to harm us." The Dazzle motioned it head and a Razzle ran up to it. A few seconds later the Razzle left the Dazzle and ran to Isaac.
"Dazzzzzzzzzzzzzzz." The Dazzle the tuned around and burrowed underground.
"What just happened?" Misty said.
"I think it gave us one of its herd as a thank you for saving it. Am I right?" The little Razzle nodded. "I guess so. But who are you going with?" The Razzle nudged up to Isaac's leg.
"I guess he wants to go with you."
"OK." Isaac took a pokemon and threw it at the Razzle. The pokemon was engulfed inside the ball. It wiggled a few times then stopped. Isaac picked up the ball. "All right I got a Razzle!"
"Way to go."
"Just one step further to becoming the illusion gym leader."
"Well I guess we should be heading back. I'll go get the car." Bill left.
"I guess we should be getting back. We never told Jessie and James where we went. They must be worried by now." Misty said as they left for the car.
--------------------------------------------------
"Wow we didn't sleep the entire night. I'm beat." Ash said as they flopped into the conch in the lobby.
"Pika."
"Well we can sleep in the car. I wonder what Jessie and James did?" Misty said.
"They're a married couple. I'm sure they have plenty of ideas to keep themselves busy." Jessie came into the lobby rolling a much larger James in. Ash, Misty, Isaac Jaws dropped.
"What happened to him?"
"The buffet table that's what." Jessie said.
"It wasn't all that I could eat."
"You almost put the casino out of business. I hope you guys are well rested because, we have to stuff James into the van. I'll get the oil."
"Awwwwwww."
"Pika."
