A longing for evil
Nicole
My name is Nicole. I'm Jessica's sister,
as you should already know. Don't believe the things she said to you about
me. I'm not "childishly crazy" as she so kindly put it. She could probably
be describing herself, the way she acts sometimes. We're fourteen, although
Jessica looks about twelve. Well, not really, I can't say that since we're
identical twins. She acts about twelve. Yeah, that's better. We both have
long blonde hair and really blue eyes, but my hair looks better since I
style it fashionably, while she just leaves it down. How stupid. Anyway,
I'm probably boring you with all this talk, so back to our battle.
"Go! Vapor!" Jessica yelled, sending out
her strangely small Vaporeon. The small water creature obeyed. I took this
chance to use my new Pokedex. I snapped it open and a picture flashed onto
the screen.
"Pokedex, What abilities does that Vaporeon
have?" I asked it.
"This Vaporeon, although small for it's
species, is rather strong. Its attacks are tackle, growl, tail whip and
water gun." The electronic voice droned.
"Hey! I didn't know you could do that!"
My wimpy sister complained.
"Well, too bad! Ekans, use your wrap attack!"
I commanded.
"Ekans!" My snake Pokemon cried as it
wrapped around the tiny water Pokemon.
"Oh no! Vapor!" My sister yelped. The
creature struggled but it was useless. Snakey was just too strong for it.
I was beginning to like my new Pokemon already.
"Do you forfeit?" I asked.
"Yes! Just stop hurting Vapor!" Jessica
said franticly.
"Ekans, return," I ordered. She returned
Vapor to its Pokeball as well. I laughed happily.
"Yeah! My very first win! You better train
your Vaporeon alot if you are going to beat a gym leader!" I told her.
"You only won because I didn't get a chance
to attack!" She protested.
"You know what? I don't want to travel
with a wimp like you any more! I'm heading for Cinnabar Island. You can
find your own way around. Bye!" I sneered, walking towards the port. She
didn't follow.
I hired a sailing boat from the dock and
headed out into the ocean. Pretty soon I couldn't see the shore, murky
blue water surrounding me on all sides. I liked sailing. We used to sail
as a family alot.
The hot sun beat down on me, probably
making my tanned skin even darker. Bored, I released Snakey from it's Pokeball.
"Ekans," My Pokemon hissed, ready for
battle.
"Hey, relax, Ekans! There's nothing to
fight here! I thought you might be hungry," I told it, while reaching into
my bag for the Pokemon food our foster mother had given to us. After feeding
Ekans, I returned it to my Pokeball. It had to learn that I'm the one in
charge, I decided. I felt slightly guilty for leaving Jessica to do her
journey alone. Our foster mother had expected us to travel together. But
I pushed that thought out of my mind. I'd never really liked Jessica, anyway.
Suddenly, I spotted something. A large
black speedboat with a red R on the front was gliding steadily towards
me. I stopped my own boat, waiting to see what they wanted. The black boat
stopped, and two figures dressed totally in black stood up.
"Who are you guys?" I asked, annoyed.
"Allow us to introduce ourselves," A man
with green hair said. His voice was scratchy and rather annoying. I scowled
as they started a strange motto.
"Prepare for trouble and make it double!"
"To infect the world with devastation,"
"To plunder all peoples in every nation,"
"To denounce the goodness of truth and
love,"
"To extend our wraith to the stars above,"
"Cassidy!"
"Butch!"
"We're Team Rocket, circling earth all
day and night,"
"Surrender to us now or you will surely
lose the fight,"
"That's right!"
"Cate!" A big ugly rat yelped, finishing
the motto.
"What do you want?" I asked suspiciously.
I hadn't heard of Team Rocket before, and I didn't like the look of them.
"Oh, nothing much. Just all your Pokemon
and we'll be on our way," Cassidy said with mock boredom.
"In your dreams! Go! Snakey!" I shouted,
throwing the Pokeball.
"Ekans!" Snakey hissed.
"That's the best you have? Go! Raticate!
Teach that nerd a lesson!" Butch commanded.
"Nerd!" I cried, outraged. "We'll show
him! Snakey, use your poison sting attack!" Snaky opened its mouth wide,
glowing Needles shooting out and hitting the stupid ugly rat.
"Cate!"
The Raticate lay on the deck of their
boat, wreathing in pain. Glumly, Butch returned his ugly Pokemon.
"Ok, what's your next Pokemon? I'm ready
to take you on!" I demanded, confident. Being a Pokemon trainer was going
to be easy!
"Uh, that was my only Pokemon." Butch
said sheepishly. Cassidy glared at him.
"You forgot the Drowzee?" She yelled at
him.
"Well, I didn't mean to, Cass!" Butch
switched his attention back to me.
"You win. Hey, have you ever thought of
joining Team Rocket? We could use an agent like you." He offered.
"What do you guys do?" I asked, thinking
of how I'd look in one of those uniforms.
"We...borrow...other people's Pokemon,"
Cassidy explained hesitantly.
"You're thieves!" I accused.
"Well, are you going to join us or not?"
Cassidy asked. I considered. Stealing Pokemon was wrong, I knew that, but
being a Team Rocket agent seemed so exciting. Besides, at least I wouldn't
have to worry about my annoying sister anymore. I smiled up at them. I
knew it was an evil smile.
"You can count me in."
