Prologue
Hello, everyone! How have y'all been doing lately? I've been doing all right.
Last time on I was with you, a lot of different things happened.
We were on Misty Island when I was with you.
On Misty Island, I met a nice guy named Lionel. He was okay looking and everything but I just wasn't attracted to him. But he was attracted to me and he asked me out to go to the movies. I accepted I wanted it to be just out of friendship but he apparently thought it was more. In the end, I guess I kind of hurt his feelings by declining his invitation for me to stay there with him and his bros.
I also won the beautiful Misty Badge from his brother, Ronnie. It was a tough battle indeed. On the first round I used Vanilla against his Poliwrath. It was a tough battle even though Vanilla had a type advantage. But we came out on top.
Ellie's battle with Tyrogue, however, was very tough. I actually thought that we were going to lose the match and it would end up a tie. But she pulled through with an overhead kick that floored the unsuspecting Tyrogue. Ellie finished him off with a stomp attack. It was a great victory for her!
The one and only Professor Palmetto released a new invention, the Crystal Ball. It's a wonderful contraption that allows the trainer to watch their pokemon in their own little planet. The pokemon even get to modify it to their likings.
The mysterious egg finally hatched! It turned out to be a newly discovered baby pokemon called Luri-Luri. Luri-Luri is the baby form of Marril, the aqua mouse pokemon. Mines is a cute baby boy with lavender colored skin that fits him perfectly.
This is where I last left you so let's pick it up from there!
Chapter One
Look Mommy! The bubbles go pop pop! Dew exclaims as he shoots a stream of bubbles at CJ.
"Make him stop Rosie! Make him stop!" CJ wails as he is pushed to the ground by the pressure of the bubbles.
"Stop Dew." I say with a giggle. I guess he just learned how to do a bubble attack!
Okay! He says and stops.
Chase scoops Dew out of the pouch that I carry him in. The pouch itself is made of leather and has a strap that snaps up in the back. That way Dew can watch all that happens but stay snug and comfortable while doing so.
It's been a few days since Dew hatched out of his egg. He had been inside the egg for over a month or two. During that time I tried guessing what would come out of it but I never expected it to be a Luri-Luri!
Dew is a good baby but sometimes he can be a little mischievous. Like that time when he crawled out of his pouch and bounced on CJ's face while he was sleeping. CJ woke up screaming! It was hilarious!
We're on our way to the Scattered Islands. The Scattered Islands is a water community that has islands that are connected together into a city. Like the Pokemon center may be on one island and the Trainer Store might be on another isle.
The main source of transportation is jet skis but most people swim to where they want to go. The Scattered Islands are known for their powerful swimmers that participate in the Worldwide Olympics that are held in selected areas throughout the world. Last year's Olympics were held in Kanto but I heard that this years Olympics is taking place on Coconut Island.
"We are now approaching the Arrival Isle, please watch your step. Thank you for using the Flower Ferry!" The announcer says.
I put on my pack and so do the boys. Then, we walk down the ramp and into a building. Them we walk outside the building so that we can find our way to the pokemon center.
We sit down at a wooden bench and I pull out my map and look through the pages. I find the Scattered Islands and use my finger to guide us to the pokemon center. It's about three blocks away from us.
"I guess we better put on our bathing suits!" I say.
"Cool!" Chase says and hurries to the men's room that's located in the Arrival Building. CJ follows him and Ellie, Dew, and I walk to the ladies room.
I take out my bathing suit with the flowers on it and put it on while I'm in the stall.
Then I walk to the mirror and look at my reflection. I hope that CJ will think that I look hot in my swimsuit!
I grab a rubber band out my pack and tie my hair up into a high ponytail. Then I braid it and wrap it around the band to give it a coiled look.
I scoop do into my arms and beckon for Ellie to follow me.
Together we walk out the room and meet the boys next to the bench.
Chase has on some red swimming trunks with a blue stripe going down the sides.
CJ has on a pair of blue swimming trunks with white lotus flowers on it. He looked hot in it and he also had on a wood bead necklace around his neck.
When I arrive in front of them CJ eyes my body and when I look back him he blushes quickly. She looks so hot in that bathing suit!
I smile at him and then turn to look at Chase who had taken do from my arms.
"Dew is a water pokemon, right? So he should be able to swim!" Chase reasons.
"That's a good deduction Chase." CJ tells him.
Chase smiles in satisfaction of his inference.
"Well let's go see if he can." I say and we walk to the edge of the tiny island. I grab Dew and climb into the cool water.
"We're gonna see if you can see okay?" I ask him.
Sure Mommy! He says and shakes his tail in excitement.
I gently ease my grip on him. When I let go he is floating as if it wasn't a problem. Then he kicks his tiny little feet and he is propelled through water. Before I know it he is almost at the next block.
"Wait up!" CJ says and him and Chase jump into the water, causing a huge splash.
We swim quickly to Dew and I tell him to swim with us not ahead of us. About ten minutes later we're at our destination island. We dry ourselves off with some towels.
What I forgot to tell you is that they have an underwater delivery system that sends your items to wherever your destination is. The pickup is usually at the side of the island.
Once we're all dried up we walk into the glass doors of the pokemon center. Behind the long white desk is a beautiful Nurse Joy that has her hair down instead of the usual loopy pigtails.
"Hello, how may I help you?" She asks in a sweet voice.
"Could you give my pokemon a checkup?" I ask her.
"Sure!" She replies and takes my pokemon into a room.
About an hour later she brings back my pokemon.
"They are all quite healthy and are in good shape. Your Luri-Luri looks healthy and as if he just hatched. Did he?" She asks me as she hands me over my pokemon.
"Yeah, about three days ago." I tell her.
Mommy I'm hungry! He cries.
"Could you hold him while I get some pokemon baby food?" I ask CJ and hand Dew over to him.
Wah! Dew cries and tears start pouring out his eyes. He sure doesn't like CJ that much!
"Shh! Everything's going to be fine!" I say in effort to calm him. I take out some applesauce and grab him from CJ. Dew immediately stops crying. CJ sighs.
Oh, I hope that Dew will learn to like CJ soon. His cries are driving me nuts!
I take out a plastic spoon and scoop up some applesauce. I put it into his mouth and he swallows.
Yummy! He giggles and wags his tail. About ten scoops later he pushes the spoon away and tells me that he's full.
"Hey are you Rosie?" Nurse Joy asks.
"Yes I am." I say as I pat Dew on his back. He burps and I put him in his pouch. He quickly falls asleep and I pat him on the head.
"He looks so cute when he's asleep!" CJ says and peers down at Dew.
"Well you have a package." She says and brings me a small white box. It's from the Banana Island Gym. Skyler must have sent it to me!
I quickly tear apart the wrapping and pull out a clear Crystal Ball and a letter written on manila stationery. It says:
Dear Rosie,
How have you and your pokemon been doing? Well my pokemon are doing great and I'm having the time of my life! Training at the gym has been awesome. But I miss you so much.
I met someone! Her name is Casey and she's is so hot! She wants to become a gym leader also. I can't wait for you to meet her! You'll love her!
I enclosed the product of Sammy and Samantha who by the way are at their highest forms! They had two babies together before they evolved.
Take good care of her and write back soon!
Love,
Skyler
That Skyler is so generous. I'm glad that he found someone that he likes. I can't believe that Sammy and Samantha evolved and had babies! They were so cute together.
I take a look at the pokeball. I see a large creature with lavender scales and a long powerful tail.
"Go Crystal Ball!" I say and the large beast comes out. She rushes over and hugs me, lifting me off my feet.
"You can let go of me!" I gasp.
She does and watches me with a smile on her face.
I'm Lizzie and your my new trainer! She says.
"Hey Lizzie I'm Rosie! You must be Sammy and Samantha's daughter!" I say.
Yeah. Mommy and Daddy agreed to let me go with you. They trust that you'll take good care of me! She says.
So, Lizzie is an evolved pokemon. A Nidoqueen to be exact. I thought she was just going to be a Nidoran!
"I know your parents! How's Skyler?" I ask. The boys and Nurse Joy watch me in amazement. I can't fathom that she understands pokemon speech! Nurse Joy thinks.
She's amazing! CJ thinks.
Skyler is fine! She says.
Hello I know your parents too! Ellie says.
They told me all about you Ellie! Lizzie says.
"Okay, any second now you'll be taken to Prof. Palmetto's lab, so I want you to be good. I'll take you out soon Lizzie!" I tell her.
Sayonara! She says and she glows an eerie white color and she and her Crystal Ball are taken to the Lab.
"That was a pleasant surprise!" I say with a grin.
"Yeah I know, a Nidoqueen should prove to be a valuable member of your team!" Nurse Joy informs me.
"She's right!" Chase says.
"Nidoqueen are quite powerful, plus it's your first pokemon that is close to you in height." CJ says.
We all laugh and I walk over to the videophone so I can make a few phone calls.
I punch in the number for the Banana Island Gym. Soon after Skyler's face appears on the screen.
"Hey Rosie!" He exclaims and then smiles.
"Hey Skyler!" I say.
"What's up?" He asks me. Then a young girl of about seventeen years drapes onto Skyler's shoulder.
"Who's that?" I ask.
"Oh this is Casey! Casey this is Rosie, Rosie this is Casey." He says.
Casey is quite pretty. She has dark brown hair and gray eyes. Her peachy colored skin has a rosy tint to it.
"Hello Rosie, I've heard a lot about you." She says.
"Yeah, I'm sure of it." I say.
"Thanks for Lizzie, Skyler! We had a nice conversation!" I say.
He face faults.
"What?" He asks.
"Oh I forgot to tell you, I can understand pokemon speech." I say nonchalantly.
"That's great! How's Ellie?" He asks.
I'm fine! She says and jumps on my shoulder to wave at Skyler.
"That's good. Oh you're welcome!" He says and scratches his head.
"Well I'll talk to you later, ok Skyler?" I ask him.
"Anytime you want! Write me!" He says and he fades away.
Phew...I'm kind of glad that's over!
As I begin to walk away, the phone starts to ring. I walk back to it and click on the button; Professor Palmetto's face comes into the screen.
"Hello Rosie! I received Lizzie, your new Nidoqueen!" She says and holds up Lizzie's Crystal Ball.
"That's great Professor." I say.
"Guess what?" I ask her.
"What?" She asks.
"The egg hatched into a Luri-Luri!" I say excitedly.
"That's great Rosie! Those are quite rare! You've been taking good care of it right?" She asks.
"Of course Professor!" I tell her.
"Remember that all baby pokemon evolve when they are extremely happy so treat it well." She remids me.
"Okay Professor, I will." I say.
"All right, we'll I'm going to examine Lizzie so I'll talk to you later." She says.
"Bye!" I tell her and she blanks out of the screen.
For the last time, I finally make my way to the group of people waiting for me.
"So what's fun to in these islands?" I ask Nurse Joy.
"Well, there's a dojo around the corner from here. You could train there with your pokemon." She says.
"Wow a dojo!" I say. I could brush up on my karate skills! Maybe I could spar with Ellie or something.
"Let's go!" I say in a voice that a true leader would have.
Chapter Two
"The training room is straight ahead!" A woman in her late thirties tells us from the reception desk.
We walk to a set of double doors. Once we're through there is a large floor mat filled with trainers and their pokemon. On the mat I can see a boy with his Poliwhirl, a girl with her Hitmontop, and a man with his Hitmonchan. In the corner is a boy sitting by himself with his legs crossed.
"Just pull out a pokemon and start training!" The sensei tells me.
"Ok!" I say.
"Come on Ellie!" I say.
"I choose you Snap!" CJ says, tossing out his Mankey. They square off and start sparring.
Chase decides to pull out his Pichu, Bobby, and start training but with no hitting.
"Ellie, I don't want you to hold out on me okay?" I ask her.
I'll try. She says with an unsure look on her face. I hope that I don't hurt her.
Ellie leaps into the air and punches at me. I block her punches and try a roundhouse kick on her. She flips out the way but then she charges at me with her fist in front of her. I quickly knock her out the way with a kick. She falls to the ground and I jump over her to punch but she moves out the way and catches me in the jaw with her fist.
I fall to the ground and clutch my jaw. Before I know it she kicks me in the back of my head and I go face first onto the mat. Man does she pack some power!
I react quickly and trip her with my leg. She falls onto her back and I left her up in an attempt to throw her but she wraps that prehensile tail of hers around my arms and stays there. She then punches me dead-on my nose. I let go of it and clutch it.
Tears well up in my eyes as I look at Ellie and touch my nose. That hurts!
I look for the door to the restroom and I make a quick dash to it.
While I'm in there I check my nose and I see blood trickling towards my swollen lip. I grimace at the sight and rinse it out with water.
Then, with a soft towel, I dry off the water and walk out of the bathroom.
I should have told Ellie not to hit so hard. No! It was my fault! I shouldn't have been so careless to let her punch me in the first place! But it was so fast that I didn't know about it until it happened.
Ellie runs up and leaps onto my shoulder. I look at her now with dry eyes no longer containing those salty tears.
"I'm sorry Rosie, I didn't mean to hit you so hard! She says with pleading eyes.
I put on my best smile, well actually it appeared on my face involuntarily. You can't help but smile!
"That's okay Ellie, I told you not to hold back and you didn't that's all that matters." I tell her and scoop her into my eyes for a nice big hug.
Thanks for understanding Rosie I knew you would! She says.
"You're welcome." I tell her and look down at Dew whom had woke up and had watched the fight from the sidelines. He bounces up and down on his tail to get over to me.
I'm glad that you're okay Mommy! He exclaims and jumps into my arms. I give him a tiny little hug and put him in his pouch so that he would be close by.
That boy that had been sitting down on the floor walks up to me with a determined look on his face.
"My name is Howie and I would like to challenge you to a pokemon battle!" He tells me.
"Sure! Oh, and by the way, my name is Rosie. One on one sound good to you?" I ask him with a flick of my hair.
"It's fine by me!" He says and pulls out a rosy Crystal Ball.
"Go Nidorino!" He yells and a ready Nidorino comes out of his pokeball. He stamps his feet in impatience.
"For your Nidorino I choose Sparky!" I say and send out my trusty Elekid.
"Begin!" Chase says and waves his arm.
*!*
Nidorino charges at me head on but I jump out the way at each attempt.
"Nidorino use your poison needles!" Howie says.
Nidorino leaps back and releases dozens of sharp needles that prick every single part of my body. I fall back to the ground.
"Sparky use your swift attack!" Rosie tells me. I leap back this time and release dozens of sharp stars that sends Nidorino flying back.
"Horn attack please!" Howie says.
Nidorino charges at me so fast that I don't know what's coming until I get rammed by the sharp horn on his forehead.
Ah! I say and clutch my tummy, which is the place where I got stuck.
"Can you continue Sparky?" Rosie asks.
I think so. I say and grimace from the pain.
"Use a thunderbolt attack!" She says.
Electricity fizzles between the plugs atop my head and I release a massive bolt of blue lightning at the weary pokemon.
This is just too much for him and he falls to the ground in a big heap. A sigh passes through it's lips and he closes his eyes.
"Great job Sparky!" Rosie says and runs up to me and lifts me off the ground. She hugs me affectionately and I return her hug.
I glance over at the smiling Howie. Why is he so happy, he just lost a match?
"Here!" He says and tosses Rosie a blur Crystal Ball.
"What?" She asks with a dumbfounded look on her face.
***
Right now we are all at the Trainer's Buffet and eating our delicious meals.
I look at the Crystal Ball in my hand. I can see a large red figure that looks somewhat of a Scyther but I can't see it too clearly. In the ball I can see some mountains and a lush jungle.
"So why did you give me this pokemon?" I ask Howie who had just finished munching on a carrot that was in his garden salad.
"Blade, the Scizor is my newest pokemon. But he refuses to listen to me! So while I was in the dojo I was waiting for a trainer that looked like they might be worthy of owning my Scizor." He explains.
"How long have you had Blade?" I ask him.
"Over two months now." He says.
I look at Dew whom was on the table drinking a bottle.
"Drink up now!" I say cheerfully.
I will Mommy! He says and continues drinking his bottle of milk.
"Have you tried to befriend him?" I ask.
"Yeah! He just won't listen!" Howie exclaims.
I just shrug. There's only one way to find out why this Scizor doesn't like Howie.
"Come out Blade!" I say and the tall steel pokemon materializes next to our seats.
Who are you? He asks in a confused voice.
"I'm Rosie. Your trainer, Howie wants to give you to me, would you like that?" I ask him in a friendly voice.
No! He says and crosses his arms together.
Boy, was he stubborn.
"Okay. But I have a few questions to ask you." I say and crack my knuckles.
Fine. He replies. His golden eyes look at me from the corners. It's amazing how she can communicate with pokemon. Maybe she would be a good trainer after all...
"Why won't you listen to Howie?" I ask him. Howie waits in anticipation to see what Blade's reply would be.
Howie is a weakling; an experienced trainer could actually spar with me. He cowers at the sight of me. Blade says with a coolness that surprises even myself.
"He says that he won't listen to you because you're afraid of him and you can't spar with him." I say to Howie.
"I try! I really do, he's just scary!" Howie pleads.
Chase, CJ, and I turn to look at Howie.
"First of all, you can't be afraid of your pokemon." I say. You would think that he would realize that.
Howie lowers his head in embarrassment.
"Secondly, you have to try to be his friend. Not his master!" I say.
Howie's head sinks even lower.
"Lastly, you know how Scizor are. They love to fight. If you didn't know how to spar, you should have at least tried to learn! Or you shouldn't have captured him!" I say, then I sigh after giving out all this info.
"I captured Blade because he was hurt! I wanted to save him! But apparently, he would have preferred to stay injured!" Howie exclaims.
Well, that was the logical thing to do. But still, he didn't have to capture him. There is such a thing called the Pokemon Ambulance.
"I also caught him because I knew that I needed some power on my team. I wasn't considerate of Blade's feelings." He says and droops his head once more.
Blade softens and pats Howie on the back.
I'm pretty sure that we could learn about each other! He says.
"He wants to get to know you Howie. Now that you've explained to him, he's ready to make a change." I say.
"Really?" Howie exclaims, tears well up in his eyes.
Yes. Blade says.
"OK, we're going to spend the day together! Just you and me!" Howie says and hugs Blade.
Blade tenses up at the expression of happiness but soon begin to understand what it means. These humans are strange. I will learn to love them.
"Finally! I thought Blade would never understand!" Chase says and takes a sip of him lemon tea.
All done! Dew says and places his bottle on the table. Then he releases a large burp.
Oh boy!
***
"Punch like this." I say and Ellie and I demonstrate the punch.
Blade and Howie do the same.
"Now that you learned a few basics, you can train now alone. Be careful though, Blade seems really powerful." I say.
CJ and Snap were sparring again in the corner of the dojo.
Chase was talking with a young boy that has a Beedrill as his pokemon.
"I bet you that my Beedrill can beat your Pichu!" The boy exclaims.
"I bet you that it can't!" Chase fires back.
"Well we can have a pokemon battle to prove it!" The boy says.
"Fine!" Chase says and whispers something into Bobby's ear.
Right. Bobby says.
"Beedrill use your twin needle attack!" The boy says. Beedrill launches into an all out attack on Bobby but he dodges each needle.
"Good Bobby, now show him your quick attack!" Chase says.
Bobby tenses up and springs into the air, knocking Beedrill to the ground. Then he jumps on top of him.
"Beedrill try to get up!" The Boy frantically yells.
But Beedrill can't, Bobby has put all his weight upon him.
"Finish it off with a thunder shock!" Chase says and points at Beedrill.
Electricity fizzles at Bobby's cheeks and he releases a stream of lightning at Beedrill. The electricity spreads through Beedrill's body and he goes limp.
"Beedrill!" The boy cries and lifts up his Beedrill.
"I'm telling my Mommy! Wah!" He cries and runs out the building.
"High five Bobby!" Chase says.
Yeah! Bobby says and he leaps into the air and slaps hands with Chase.
I giggle at the spectacle. It was so cute.
"That was good battle Chase, especially if it's your first one!" CJ tells him and slaps hands with him.
I walk up to him.
"That was cool Chase. You'll make a great pokemon trainer!" I say.
"Thanks Rosie!" Chase exclaims and turns a bright red. If Rosie says then I must have done a great job!
Chapter Three
Wow! Being in the Scattered Islands has been quite an experience!
Heck, I got a new pokemon, a note from my best friend; I made a new friend, what more could a girl ask for in two days?
Right now, we're on the Battling Block a place where trainers go to have trainer battles.
So far I've lost a battle and I've won a battle. The first battle being Sparky against a Cyndaquil. The battle that I won was between Artemis and a Raticate. It was a tough battle but Artemis used her energy arrow attack that finished the Raticate off completely.
"Hey Rosie!" Howie says as he runs up to us in his swim outfit. A tank top and some red shorts.
I turn around abruptly, causing my hair to blow into my face. I tuck it behind my ear and smile.
"Hey Howie, what's up?" I ask him nonchalantly.
"Can we have a rematch? I want to test out Blade's skills now. We been training really hard and I want to see if we can beat you this time!" He says and clutches his fist.
"Sure!" I say and pull out a blue Crystal Ball, the one that contains Crimson.
"Come on out Blade!" Howie says.
"I choose you Crimson!" I say and toss the ball. Crimson comes out the pokeball, rearing to battle. I haven't used him in a while but he seems like the perfect pokemon. He has a full type advantage!
Blade focuses on Crimson. Hopefully Crimson will have another advantage because of his height. He should be able to penetrate Blade's attacks with no problem.
"Go!" Chase says and waves his hand.
*!*
Blade looks extremely powerful! I'm going to try and keep my distance, that way I shouldn't get hurt.
"Blade use your quick attack!" Howie says.
Blade extends his arms until a golden hue overcomes them. Then golden balls of energy come out of the claws. I try my best to leap out the way but some connect and I get hit into the air by one hug one.
Ah! I holler.
"Use agility attack Crimson!" Rosie says. I land on my feet and start zooming from place to place.
"Iron claw!" Howie says.
Blade quickly matches my every move so I leap into the air and dematerialize to different places in the air. But Blade appears right beside me and punches me with a silver claw. I plummet to the ground and stay there groaning in pain.
Darn! Crimson can't go on much longer! I know!
"Roar attack please!" Rosie says confidently. I let out a gut wrenching roar that stops Blade in his tracks. His golden eyes light up in surprise.
Great! It worked.
"Use fire blast!" I leap back and let out a symbol of fire that hits Blade with deadly accuracy. He staggers back.
"Tackle attack Crimson!" Rosie says. I charge at the tall beast and dive into his stomach. He swipes me away as I hit him and I go flying to the other side of the area that we're battling in.
"Crimson!" Rosie yells. I struggle to get to my feet and I stare at the panting Scizor.
I'm hurting so much! I don't think I can last another attack!
Can't stay up must rest. Uh. Blade grunts and falls to the ground.
A powerful sense of victory surges through my body.
"Hooray!" I scream. I dive into Rosie's arms.
"That was awesome Crimson! What a great job! Return!" She says with a smile.
***
The beautiful sun was just starting to dip below the horizon. Goldenrod and rosy streaks pain the sky. A slight breeze blows, making the ocean sparkle like champagne.
Hmm, I hum. This is beautiful!
"It's been great on the Scattered Islands!" CJ says and looks down at the water.
"Yeah." We agree. We were on the Flower Ferry once again.
I look into the sky. I see a strange red thing rapidly ascending towards us. I wonder what it could be!
A few seconds later, Howie and Blade land on the ferry and walk towards us.
"Rosie! Wait up!" Howie says.
"What is it Howie?" Chase asks.
"Rosie, how would you like to train Blade for a while?" Howie asks and looks me did in the eyes.
It would be awesome if I could train Blade for a while!
"I would love to!" I exclaim.
We agreed to let you train me! I want to go with you on your journeys! Blades says with bright eyes.
"Really? that's so nice of you! But you guys were just starting to get along!" I say.
"Yeah Rosie, but I think he would be happier with you." Howie says with a smile.
"OK." I say.
"I'm going to miss you Blade! Be good to Rosie okay?" Howie asks.
I will! He says. They embrace each other and then they pull away.
"I guess this is goodbye!" Howie says and stares at the floor.
"Yeah I guess so." We all say.
Howie takes out a capsule and throws it into the water. A jet ski appears and he dives into the water and climbs aboard.
"Bye everyone! Bye Blade!" He says.
"We'll never forget you!" I say and wave back to him.
I'll miss you Howie! Blade says and waves a claw.
Wow! Blade cared about him the whole time! How cute!
