Prologue
Hello, everyone! Rosie Fierra is here once again! What's been up with you guys? Well a lot has happened with my life lately.
Last time I was with you, I participated in a little shindig called the Gligar Catching Contest. I caught a great pokemon, which I aptly name Artemis after this attack that she can do with an energy bow and arrow. In case you don't know, in Greek mythology, Artemis is the Goddess of the Moon and of the Hunt. I met up with Hannah and I placed third in the contest, thus winning a trophy and fifty dollars that I haven't yet spent.
My beloved pokemon, Flash, evolved into a pure white Espeon with extraordinary psychic powers. I also think that he gave me the power to understand pokemon speech! It's awesome finally knowing what they are saying!
We met a fine older man named Kyle John who gave us a little "southern hospitality". The southern part coming from the accent that he possesses. I had a pokemon battle against his Ponyta with my Flash. Flash won and he taught me how to use a lasso.
I had a scene with CJ! Well not actually a scene but I saw him kind of get undressed. Well that's not much but it sure is for me! I'm falling for him, big time! I hope he's falling for me too.
Oh well, come what may. Let's get on with the story!
Chapter One
"We have now arrived on Misty Island, thanks for using the Flower Ferry!" The announcer tells us over the loud speakers located at different ends of the robust ferry that takes so many people to many places throughout the Archipelago.
"Hooray!" Chase exclaims and jumps for joy.
I sigh. It has been over three days since we left Lasso Island and Kyle. We had been on this ferry for a long, long time and now that it was over I just couldn't fathom it.
"Come on Ellie!" I say and Ellie perks up from the spot on the bench that she had been napping on.
Yea! We're here! She says and stretches her long arms and leaps upon my shoulder.
"I know exactly how you feel." I tell her and pat her on the head. She giggles and pats me on the back with her hand-like tail.
Once we walk off the ramp, a mist seems to just surround us. But it's not a very thick mist, it's just right. I can see through it almost perfectly and it makes everything look so damp and beautiful.
"Whoa…" Chase says as he looks around his surroundings.
"This place looks great!" CJ says and he adjusts the straps on his backpack.
"I know…" I see and stoop down to pick up a beautiful flower that had drops of dew clinging to the lavender petals. I take out a plastic container and put the flower into it, the plastic can keep things in it's original forms forever.
We look around at everything around us as we walk down a dirt path that hopefully leads to the inner city. Everything looked magical here! And when the dew rolled off a leaf on a tree, it sparkled as a crystal would and falls to the ground.
"It so mystical here!" I shriek. Then I touch my now, damp hair.
"Yeah it is beautiful." A mysterious voice says.
"Who's there?" Chase says and looks around.
Out of the mist, a young man of at least twenty appeared before us. He has short blue hair and he's wearing some olive khakis and a white t-shirt. He doesn't look bad but my main interest now is CJ so I brush away his comment.
"Who are you?" CJ asks.
"I'm Lionel, and I want to challenge your stunning friend to a pokemon battle." He says coolly. You just have to admire his nonchalance!
"Sure! How many pokemon?" I ask.
"Is three all right with you? Oh and after one pokemon is eliminated you must switch pokemon!" He asks.
"All right by me!" I say.
"You can with this battle Rosie!" Chase says.
CJ takes his place as referee and waves his hand.
"Go Squirtle!" He says and sends out a cute turtle pokemon.
"Go Sparky!" I say. If the type advantage doesn't work, pure strength will!
*!*
"Squirtle use tackle attack!" Lionel says.
Squirtle retreats to his shell and charges at me. He hits me in the chest and I get blasted a few feet away. Maybe this isn't going to be as easy as I thought!
"Sparky use a mega punch!" Rosie tells me. I leap at the pokemon and deck him across the face with my golden fist. He falls to the ground.
"Use water gun attack!" Lionel says.
Okay! Squirtle replies and shoots out a stream of pressurized water that sends me into a tree. Pain rushes through my entire body and I try to break away from this attack my energy is completely drained and I fall to the ground.
Sorry Rosie, he was just too powerful! I plead.
"That's okay Sparky! Return!" She says cheerfully. Finally, a challenge! She thinks.
*!*
"Go Raichu!" Lionel yells as he throws the pokeball containing the thunder mouse that evolves from a Pikachu.
"I choose you Artemis!" Rosie says and I dematerialize from my pokeball and onto the ground.
"Artemis, use quick attack!" Rosie says. I fly into the air to gain some altitude first before going in for the kill. Then I tuck myself into a tuck position and dive bomb Pikachu, knocking it to the ground. She screams in pain.
"Pikachu use thunder shock!" Lionel says. Pikachu holds her cheeks and releases a line of thunder at me.
"Use your rapid spin attack!" Rosie tells me. I do at least a one thousand eighty degree turn, absorbing the energy from the attack. After all, ground has and advantage to electric types.
"Use agility!" Lionel yells. Pikachu zooms to many different parts of the area in an attempt to confuse me.
"Use faint attack Artemis!" Rosie tells me.
Whoopee! I shriek and cup my hands into a ball. Then I absorb some of my energy and form it into a purple and black thunder ball. Then I toss the bomb at the speedy Pikachu. It explodes and Pikachu is lifted into the air. But it isn't a direct hit so she is still all right.
"Good job on evading that attack Pikachu. Show them your head butt attack!" Lionel congratulates his pokemon.
Even I have to commend it on that; faint attack is one of my most powerful moves.
Next thing I know, Pikachu rammed me in the chest with her head and I stagger in the air.
"Finish that mouse off with energy bow!" Rosie tells me with a grin.
"He he he!" I laugh and get into my archer position.
Lionel looks on at me in surprise waiting to see what this attack was.
I form a bow and arrow and point at the gasping Pikachu. She's obviously suffering from fatigue.
"Release!" I release the blue arrow and it strikes Pikachu in the chest causing her to fall down in defeat.
"Yea! Great job Artemis! We won our first battle!" Rosie cheers and recalls me to my pokeball.
Cool! I cheer.
*!*
"That's a fine Gligar that you have there!" Lionel tells Rosie.
"Why thank you! Let's get back to the battle!" Rosie says.
"Right, go Persian!" Lionel says and sends out the Classy Cat pokemon with the ruby on it's forehead.
"Handle that cat Ellie!" She tells me. I leap of her shoulder.
"Ellie use fury swipes!" Rosie says. I set myself into a gallop and charge at the cat. I leap atop it's back and start slashing away.
"Use agility and slam attack!" Persian growls and starts running around in circles. I get dizzy and everything gets all out of place.
Whoa... I mumble. Persian leaps into the air and does a flip, the motion causing me to slam into the ground.
Ouchies! I wail.
"Can you still battle Ellie?" Rosie asks. I stand up and dust myself off.
Yeah! I say.
"Good now use karate chop!" Rosie says. Persian leaps into the air and so do I. I chop my arms on her face and she falls to the ground.
"Cool!" Chase says and swirls around.
"Persian use scratch attack!" Persian charges at me in a fluid motion and the next thing I know, I'm pinned to the ground and getting scratch by her sharp claws.
"Oh no Ellie, return!" Rosie says and she scoops me up from the ground. My body aches all over. It kind of feels like when you haven't ran in a long time, and the next day your body is so sore. Believe me, it's not a good feeling.
"Your a talented pokemon trainer and your pokemon are pretty awesome." Lionel says.
"Thanks. I take it that Persian was your first pokemon?" She asks.
"Yeah, we've been buddies for a long time."
"That's good." She says.
"Great job Ellie!" Rosie whispers to me.
All of a sudden, I don't mind the pain at all…
***
"Do you have any brothers or sisters my age?" Chase asks Lionel as we walk towards the metropolitan area of Misty Island.
"Yeah, I have a little bro. I'm pretty sure he would be happy to have a playmate for a few days." Lionel says.
CJ kind of slows around and walks behind us. When will he just leave Rosie alone?
We walk along the moderately busy streets of the inner city, past grand appartment buildings and skyscrapers.
Lionel wants to take over the island's pokemon center. Even thought Joy's usually do this job, he wants to do it too. Right now he's an apprentice to the Nurse Joy that's already there.
Soon we arrive at the pokemon center. The pokemon center is a large establishment with a clear top. On the outside it is painted white and a soft blue.
"After you!" Lionel says as he opens the door for Chase and I, then he lets it shut before Skyler can get in. That punk! Who does he think he is?
Nurse Joy looks up from some clerical work that she had been doing while we were gone.
"Where have you been Lionel? I told you to be in here an hour ago!" Joy yells.
"I was kind of busy Joy." He says cooly.
"Well kind of get yourself busy doing this paperwork!" She responds and hands him a stack of papers. It was at least like two inches thick!
She grunts and turns back to us.
"Hello! Welcome to the Misty Island Pokemon Center! How may I help you?" She asks in a sweet tone. Wow, for someone that was just angry she can sure cover up her feelings!
"Could you please heal my pokemon Nurse Joy?" I ask her.
"Of course! Hey! Aren't you Rosie Fierra?" She asks as she takes Ellie and my pokeballs to the healing room.
"Yeah." I say.
"It's great that you did what you did. I have some leftover chicken and rice, would you like that for dinner?" She asks.
"That would be great Nurse Joy!" Chase says.
"Okay I'll heat it up for you!" She says and goes into the faculty lounge.
CJ and Chase walk over to the couches and start reading magazines.
I walk over to the desk that Lionel was working diligently at. I would have to say that more than half the work was completed that he needed done.
"I never knew it took so much work to run a pokemon center." I say in an attempt to strike up a conversation.
"Yeah, I didn't either until I started working for Joy, it pays good though. Plus I get to meet all kinds of new pokemon!" He says and finishes up the remainder of the paperwork.
"Ah, I'm finished!" He says and cracks his knuckles.
"That's pretty cool." I say looking at a crystal paperweight on the desk.
"Do you know what that is?" He asks. Then he grasps the round object.
"It's a paperweight right?" I ask him.
"Nah, it's a new pokeball called a Crystal Ball. If you talk to the Professor, she'll give you a gift certificate for a case of ten crystal balls." He says.
"Cool! I'll be right back!" I say and hurry to the nearest videophone.
I quickly punch in the digits to the lab and Professor Palmetto's beautiful face pops up.
"Hello Rosie! What's up?" She asks and looks down at a pokeball on her desk.
"Nothing much but I would like to know about these Crystal Balls that I've heard about."
"Oh, the Crystal Balls! They are great for a pokemon trainer to have!" She says.
"And?" I ask growing a little impatient. I really want one of them, now!
"With a Crystal Ball, you can keep an eye on your pokemon constantly. It has it's own unique habitat that meets your pokemon's needs. They are the newest and best types of pokeball out at the time probably for the next few years! I designed it myself!" She says with a snug look on her face.
"Wow!" I say. That's amazing!
"Yeah, I know! Oh, I received the baby pokemon you sent me. Thanks Rosie, I've been studying them since. I'm preparing a story on them based on my reasearch!" She says.
"That's good Professor. Guess what?" I ask.
"What?" She says.
"I caught a Gligar at the contest on Lasso Island! She's wonderful! Oh and Flash evolved into Espeon! But the best thing is that somehow I can understand pokemon speech!" I exclaim.
"That's very interesting." She says and ponders about this for a moment. It's no doubt that Flash has something to do with it.
"Well, could you send me the gift certificate now?" I ask.
"Aren't we a little hasty today? Which type of crystal? There's quartz, topaz, and amethyst." She asks.
"I would like six quartz, two blue topaz, and two rose quartz please." I say.
Sending appears across the screen and a gift certificate materializes into my hand.
"I got it!" I say.
"Redeem that at the nearest Trainer Market. Good bye Rosie and catch more pokemon!" She says and hangs up.
I look at the gift certificate with a silver and gold outline around it. It says for the purchase of ten Crystal Balls for Rosie Fierra. Then it has the types and Professor Palmetto's signature along with her crest that has a swaying palm tree.
I stick it into my pockets and go tell Skyler and Chase about them.
Chapter Two
"My name's Chase! What's your name?" Chase asks Lionel's little brother that looks just like he does.
"I'm Lee! Want to play with my toys?" Lee asks.
"Sure!" Chase says and runs behind Lee to Lee's bedroom.
Right now we're in Lionel's home that he stays in with his two brothers. It was a nice establishment with spacious bedrooms, two bathrooms, a small kitchen, and all the other things you would expect in a house.
Right now we're sitting on a nice couch with a tan exterior on it. It has fluffly cream throw pillows and comfy cushions on the bottom.
"So Rosie, how would you like to go to the movies with me?" Lionel asks.
CJ perks up and stares at me with questioning eyes.
What harm could it be to go on a friendly date to the movies? None, of course!
"Sure!" I say. CJ slumps in his chair. Why does he seem so spaced out now?
"Great!" Lionel says and clasps his hands together.
"If we leave now, we'll be able to see the next movie! Come on!" He says and raises up from his chair.
I look at CJ.
"You don't mine do you?" I ask him.
He tries his best to smile.
"Of course not." He says feebly.
"Thanks CJ; I'll see you in a little while." I say and walk out the door with Lionel.
***
During the movie, at this part when the teen couple started kissing Lionel tried to put his arm around me. I pretended to pick something up from the floor; narrowly missing it.
When the movie was out we walk down the moonlit streets. The city was in lights and had all sorts of music playing. But the mist that covered everything makes the town spooky.
When we were at the patio of his house, it was time for me to go to the pokemon center.
"I had a great time Lionel." I say.
"I did too, I guess that I'll see you tomorrow!" He says with a smile.
"Yeah I guess so..." I say and look down at the ground.
He leans in for a kiss but I peck him on the cheek.
"Good night!" I say exaggerating the 'night'.
"OK." He says and unlocks the door to his house.
I turn away and briskly walk down the cool streets of Misty Island.
The date wasfine but he kept trying to do all that normal stuff people do. I'm sorry that I didn't give him a good night kiss but I only want CJ. Only him.
I wonder if Ellie, CJ, and Chase are asleep right now. Hopefully they are, that way I can go to sleep in peace.
When I arrive at the pokemon center, most of the lights are shut off except for a select few. I carefully slink to our room, get undressed, and tuck myself under the sheets.
***
So... how was your date? Ellie asks me.
I wipe the mucus out the corner of my eye and look into her grinning face.
"It was fine." I say.
Oh really? Do you like Lionel? She asks.
"No!" I say.
Oh, I see. You like CJ don't you? She asks.
"Yeah." I say and blush deeply.
Cool, tell him how you feel! She exclaims.
"Not now, I just can't!" I say.
"Just can't do what?" CJ says with a yawn. He gets up and stretches, his long hair covering his eyes.
"I just can't seem to get Ellie to learn any special attacks!" I say quickly. That was a nice coverup Rosie! Good job!
"Really?" He says and scratches his chest.
"Yeah..." I say, mesmerized.
"Oh well, I'm going to go get dressed, see you in a few minutes." He says and walks out the room with his backpack.
"Phew, that was close!" I gasp and wipe the perspiration from my forehead.
Yeah, it was. Ellie says and hops of the bed and onto the floor.
Go get dressed! She yells.
"Okay!" I say and gather my supplies and go into the bathroom. I take a hower and put on my khaki colored Capri pants with the red embroidery and a red v-neck sweater.
"This has got to get cut!" I say and fling my hair across my shoulder.
***
"Viola!" Selene, the hairdresser says as she turns my chair to face the mirrror.
I just got my haircut up to my shoulder. It had the flip with the ends of my hair flipped up at the ends. I had gotten it died to a more crimson color like my Dad's hair. Overall it's a nice looking 'do.
"This looks great!" I say, fawning over my new 'do.
"It sure does, that'll be twenty-five dollars." Selene says as she holds out her hand.
I hand over the money and rise up from the chair, allowing another girl to get her hair done.
Finally! It's gone!
CJ pays his hairdresser and looks at his short spiky hair. I have to admit it does look great on him, as does anything!
Even Chase had gotten his haircut to look like CJ's. It was so cute on him.
"We look totall different now." Chase says.
"I know especially you CJ!" I say and touch his blonde hair.
"I was tired of my hair." He says modestly.
"Well, let's get over to that Trainer Store so I can get the Crystal Balls!" I say.
They nod their agreements and we hurry to the large building that contained everything that a trainer could possibly need for pokemon training.
"Wow!" Chase exclaims as we look at the endless rows of shelves stacked full of pokemon goods.
I walk over to the pokeball section and choose out the Crystal Balls that I had kind of pre-ordered. They are about the same size as a normal pokeball but they do so much more.
I put them into a bag along with the instructions and walk over to the healing equipment section. I pick out a few potions and walk up to the counter.
There, a young woman with long green hair rings up my items.
"Hello, your total comes up to sixty dollars." She says and opens the cash register.
I hand her my gist certificate and ten dollars. She takes it and prints out a receipt and puts them all in a clear bag with the Trainer Store logo on it.
"Thank you for shopping at the Trainer Store, come back soon!" She says in a cheerful voice.
I take my bag and walk over to Chase and CJ who were waiting for me outside.
"What did you get Chase?" I ask.
"I got these!" He says showing me a large inflatable ball and smaller golf ball-like balls.
"What did you get CJ?" I ask. He shows my some ankle weights. No doubt this stuff was for pokemon training.
"So where do you want to go now?" CJ asks me.
"Let's go back to the pokemon center, I want to put my pokemon in these Crystal Balls!" I say.
***
"Okay, come on out everyone!" I say and send out all my pokemon at once.
Vanilla, Sparky, Flash, Crimson, and Artemis happily come out of their old pokeballs.
"What's up everyone?" I ask them. Talking with my pokemon is excellent!
I'm doing great! Vanilla says.
Me too! Sparky agrees.
I'm fine. Flash says.
I'm all right! Crimson exclaims.
I'm cool! Artemis says and all the pokemon start to laugh. I do too.
Chase and CJ look on at me like I'm a nut who needs to be locked up in a mental ward.
"OK. The reason why I sent you all out is because I got some new pokeballs for you. They are called Crystal Balls!" I tell them and show them the sparkling spheres.
Wow. They all say.
"Yeah I know! You guys should love these. You get to choose your own environment and its like you're own your very own planet!" I say reading the instructions.
Cool! They exclaim.
"Now choose which one you want to be in." I say.
I want the pretty pink one! Vanilla says and points at the Crystal Ball made of rose quartz.
I want the blue one! Flash says.
Clear is all right with me. Crimson says.
Blue please. Artemis says.
Hey Rosie even though I'm going to be out most of the time, I would like that rose colored one. Ellie tells me.
"Okay!" I say.
: Vanilla:
(A/N: This means that Vanilla is inside her Crystal Ball!)
"How do you want your planet to be?" A robotic voice says once I'm inside of my new pokeball.
I want it to have a lot of streams, fields of wild flowers and plants, a beach, rolling hills, and wild fruit! I exclaim.
"OK." It says and the next thing I know, there is a whole bunch of fragrant flowers.
This is so cool! I say and sprawl out on the blanket of flowers.
: Flash:
I would like mountains, valleys, waterfalls, rolling fields, a beach, and a forest! I say happily.
Then I see a beautiful waterfall about twenty feet away. I take a sip of cool water that refreshes my whole body.
I let out a satisfied sigh.
: Crimson:
Ooh, toasty! I say as I look at the pit of magma below me.
Right now I'm standing on a tall pillar of stone. I leap from pillar to pillar until I get to a river that cuts through the mountain.
It's perfect here! I say. Not only did my planet have volcanoes and rivers. It also has beaches and forests!
: Artemis:
Ooh! I say as I soar over the skies of my new planet. Below me is a system of rivers, forests, and waterfalls. Ah, this is the life.
I swoop down to a clump of bushes and pull out a ripe strawberry and bite into it's juicy flesh. Yummy!
: Sparky:
I curl up on a long limb of a huge tree. It's so comfortable way up there!
I could seriously get used to this!
: Ellie:
Ooh, a banana! I say and grasp a firm banana. I peel of it's yellow covering and bite into it.
I grab a vine and swing from each one until I get to a pond, then I jump in, making a huge splash.
Whoopee! I scream.
Chapter Three
"Are you ready Ellie?" I ask her as she stands atop my shoulder tousling with my hair.
I guess so! I'm ready to kick some booty! She exclaims excitedly.
I've never seen her so happy to go into a battle before, much less a gym battle. Maybe she feels more confident after being in that Crystal Ball for a few hours. I really think so.
"Ellie, why are you so happy to go into a battle?" I ask her, then I turn me head to look at the cheerful expression on her cute face.
Well, while I was in the Ball, I did some training! I swung from wines, did gymnastics, punched and kicked trees, all sorts of stuff. It was so fun; I love the Crystal Ball! She explains to me, doing sign language as she did so.
"That does sound cool." I say. Then, a new idea springs into my head. What if she doesn't want to stay outside with me? I really hope that she does stay with me outside her pokeball. That extra weight on my shoulder feels so natural now that I can't even notice it anymore.
Don't worry! She says as though she had read my mind.
Right now, the boys and I are walking to the Misty Island Gym. I haven't really seen it yet but I heard from the townspeople that the leader and his pokemon are extremely tough. Just the thought of facing a tough leader makes my heart beat faster. I love challenges!
"Do you think that you can beat the Gym Leader?" Chase asks.
"I think so but I can't underestimate him." I reply.
Chase nods in agreement at my choice of words.
"What does underestimate mean?" He asks.
"Underestimate is when you doubt someone else's strength and abilities." CJ says in is own words. I smile at his quickness and we continue to walk to the gym.
A few minutes later we arrive at an arena or something. There are a lot of arches and the arches have glass windows in them. The arena itself is shaped like a dome. All of a sudden I hear an audience cheer and a yellow light pierces through the window and through the fog.
"No!" A trainer yells and runs out the window clutching Butterfree. He was a teenager that was most likely fourteen; no doubt he was from another League or something.
We all look at each other with nervous glances on our faces.
My heart quickens. Am I really going to have to go up against that, I think to myself.
We walk through two large glass doors and into an area that you have to wait in. I sign my name on the list and soon enough a secretary shouts my name and we walk through a large door to get into the arena.
The arena is huge! There is a moat or something going around the battlefield, filled with clean water. The battlefield itself, is a large circular area with a small pool of water in the middle. I'm guessing that this must be a water pokemon gym.
We walk up to a young man that has to be at least twenty-five. He has short blue hair, blue eyes, and he is wearing a white t-shirt and some blue jeans. He looks a lot like Lionel!
"Hey Rosie, we're having a two pokemon battle, and it has no time limit." He says nicely. How does he know my name? I decide to keep my mouth shut, questions can wait until later.
"Your friends can go sit in the booth behind you." He says and points to a clear booth with two seats. CJ and Chase walk over there to cheer me on.
"Now you can go over there on that platform and the battle will start in two minutes. Oh and my name is Ronnie." He says and points to a blue stand. I climb the stares and Ellie sits on the railing.
A few minutes later, "Begin!"
I take out a rosy colored ball. I can see Vanilla running through a field of flowers.
"I choose you." I whisper to her.
Whoopee! She exclaims and is sent out into the arena.
"For your Bayleef, I'll choose Poliwrath!" He says.
"Be careful Rosie, his Poliwrath must be at an extremely high level for him to send it out!" CJ warns me.
*!*
The blue Poliwrath stretches his muscles and legs while he waits for an attack. He looks pretty strong and is quite large but I keep a positive attitude so I won't be intimidated.
"Use water gun!" Ronnie tells his pokemon.
Okay! Poliwrath exclaims and shoots out a stream of water.
"Soak it in!" Rosie says. I swivel the lush green leaf atop my head and absorb the water, and was it ever tasty! I feel all energized now!
"That's a good move but try to absorb this! Bubble attack now!" Ronnie says.
Poliwhirl release a gaggle of blue bubbles at me. They encircle me and pop in my face and body. I squeal in pain from the constant hits.
Ouch! I squeal.
"Use take down attack!" Ronnie says.
"Jump out the way!" Rosie tells me. We're definitely on the losing side right now.
I leap into the air but so does Poliwrath, he slams into my side and I skid across the ground. Pain fills my body and tears well up in my eyes.
"Oh Vanilla, can you still fight?" Rosie asks in a caring tone.
It's going to take more than that to take me down! I say.
A smile appears on Rosie's face.
"I knew I could count on you! Razor leaf attack now!" She says.
I send dozens of leaves at the pokemon but he jumps into the pool in the middle of the ring.
"That's just where we want him! Use a slam attack!" Rosie says, I run to the side of the pool and feel around the pool with my vines. I feel a body and wrap them around Poliwrath. I lift him out the water and fling him across the arena, causing him to skid across the ground. And just when he stands up a charge him with a tackle attack and he falls down to the ground in defeat.
I sigh in relief at the pokemon but I also pant because I'm tired.
"You need a rest, return Vanilla!" Rosie says.
Thanks Rosie! I say and go to my beautiful planet.
*!*
"That was a great strategy Rosie! But this pokemon won't be so easy!" Ronnie says.
He throws out a fighting type pokemon out.
"What's that?" Rosie says and pulls out her pokedex.
"Tyrogue: the scuffle pokemon. This tiny tot loves to fight and keeps on fighting even if it loses. When you knock this pokemon down, make sure it stays down!" The pokedex says.
"I'm going to choose you Ellie!" She says.
"Be careful, okay?" She asks.
I will. I tell her and leap from the railing and to the arena.
I size up the pokemon. We are about the same height and it has a smile on his face.
Good luck! He says.
Thank you! I say.
"Rosie! Normal pokemon are weak against fighting types!" Chase says.
"I know that but Ellie has fighting type moves!" She replies.
"I hope you know what you're doing…" CJ says.
"Tyrogue use karate chop!" Ronnie says. Tyrogue moves his arms so fast that I can barely keep up. I jump all around dodging the attacks.
"Ellie, good job. Use your snap kicks!" Rosie says. I launch my right leg at Tyrogue moving them so fast that it's a blur. I land a few of them but he ducks and trips me with his leg. I fall to the ground.
"That's a great Aipom you have there. But it doesn't stand a chance! Use a mega punch attack!"
Tyrogue lands a direct hit on my cheek and I go flying to the ground.
Ouch, that hurts! I cry and rub my cheek.
Tyrogue rushes at me with a golden fist and throws dozens of punches. I duck this way and that, avoiding his blows. But one hits me in the chest and I fall to the ground.
I clutch my stomach in pain but I open my eyes and see the pokemon getting ready to punch me while I was on the ground. I quickly roll out the way.
"Oh no we're losing." Rosie says to herself.
While Rosie is pondering over which attack to use I try my best to defend myself. I don't think that I can go on much longer!
"I know! Ellie do some flips!" I jump well away from Tyrogue. Then I do like four handsprings and on the last one I launch myself over his head. While I'm in midair, I prepare for a mega kick and kick Tyrogue in the back of his head. He skids across the ground from the attack.
"Good, now use stomp!" Rosie says. I leap into the air and land on Tyrogue's stomach. He screams in pain and I jump off of him, ready to attack again if need be.
You defeated me… He gasps.
"Tyrogue return!" Ronnie says with a smile on his face.
Rosie leaps off the stand and scoops me into her loving arms.
"That was excellent Ellie!" She says and squeezes me.
I feel so warm with love right now.
"That's a great pokemon that you have there." Ronnie say pointing to me.
"You know, I taught her those attacks." Rosie says.
"Hooray!" Chase says and hugs me tightly.
"Great job girls!" CJ says and pats Rosie and me on the back.
"You truly deserve this Rosie. I present to you, the Misty Badge." He says and hands Rosie a small badge with a silver moon that has blue glitter covering it, as if to mimic the mist.
Lionel saunters up to Rosie and Ronnie.
"That was a great battle, bro!" He says.
So this is Lionel's brother?

"I guess this is it..." I say to Lionel and his family. Chase and CJ were already on the Flower Ferry.
I give them each a hug.
"We agreed, and we all would love it if you stayed her with us." Lionel offers. This takes me by surprise. I never knew Lionel felt that way about me.
"I'm sorry but I can't, I have dreams." I say.
"I can fulfill them!" Lionel pleads.
"I'm sorry Lionel but I can't my heart belongs to another." I say. My eyes linger over at CJ who was watching the whole thing. But he didn't hear what I had said.
"But-!" Lionel stammers.
"Shh." I say and place my index and middle fingers over his mouth.
"I can't." I say and give him a kiss on the cheek.
Then I walk away from him and his family. He stands there, clutching his cheek.
"Goodbye!" We call out to them and wave.
"Bye Rosie! We'll never forget you!" They say and wave at me.
I exhale a sigh of relief.
Suddenly I feel something shaking violently in my backpack.
"Hey come over here!" I say and the boys come over to me.
"What is it?" They ask.
I take out the egg that I had received from getting second place in the Taste of Sunset. It was rattling violently.
We all look around at it. Then with a mighty push, the baby pokemon frees itself out of the egg.
Before me was the cutest pokemon that I've ever seen! It has cute little ears, a lavender colored body. A tail with a large ball at the end of it. On each cheek is a white patch. On the baby male pokemon's face is a tiny smile.
"Cool!" Chase and CJ exclaim.
"Luri-Luri: the pre-evolved form of Marril. This pokemon is one of the newest baby pokemon discovered. When disturbed, this pokemon's cries are very loud. As with any baby pokemon, treat them as if they were your own." The pokedex says.
"Cool!" I say.
Luri-Luri watches me with curious eyes.
"Hello Dew, do you like that name?" I ask him in a gentile voice.
Yes Mommy! Dew exclaims.
"Mommy?" I ask.
Mommy! He replies.
I look at the boys.
"Uh oh!"
