We (actually, I ) interrupt you to bring you this message:

Gomen... I'm probably interrupting your reading, but I realized that perhaps not everyone knows what every single pokemon is since not everyone is an insane pokemon fanatic like me. Therefore, I shall take this time to explain some pokemon, out of 250 (and some more!) that might possibly appear in this story. Of course, I'll explain the ones which have appeared and will appear ^^...
If you know pokemon well enough, then please by all means skip this part...

Clefairy: Known as the fairy pokemon, they reside on Mt. Moon, a secluded place filled with winding caverns. It is said at they appear at night (on Mondays if you have gold/silver) to perform an unknown ritual and dance in the spirit of the moon. Therefore, Clefairy have a mystery linkage to the moon. They are about 1'4" in size, quite chubby and cute, sporting brown triangle ears and small beady eyes. The pre-evolution of Clefairy is Cleffa, and Clefairy evolves with a moon stone to become the gentle Clefable. They are a normal type.

Seel: A sea lion pokemon, that looks like a white sea lion with cute button eyes and a tongue which often sticks out ^^. They are of an ice/water variety, and can be found on the Seafoam and Whirl Islands. Seel evolves into Dewgong, a more majestic and larger sea-lion. Seels are about 2' and something (gomen, I don't know the exact measure...) long. Ami's bonded pokemon is a Seel.

Vulpix: A cute and rare fire fox pokemon, which looks like a cute red-brown fox with six tails and large, intelligent eyes. Vulpix is a fire type pokemon and can be found in a variety of areas (depending where you look). With a fire stone, Vulpix evolves into Ninetales, known as a highly intelligent fox pokemon, which has, no doubt, nine tails. Rei's bonded pokemon is Vulpix.

Mareep: A sheep pokemon, with fluffy yellowish white wool and dark blue skin. Despite its cute appearance, Mareep are tough and an excellent starting pokemon in Gold/Silver/Crystal, about 3 feet in width (?). Mareep are electric type pokemon, and evolve once into Flaffy, and again into Ampharos. Makoto starts off bonded to a Mareep.

Meowth: Meowth are common enough in any Pokemon version. They are highly similar to a cat, with a good luck charm on its head. Oddly enough, Meowth have no (drawn) noses. They are of a normal variety, and evolve into a tough-looking cat pokemon, Persain. Minako has a Meowth as her bonded pokemon.

(these are a bit of a spoiler, but I wont put the names of the trainers to the pokemon for now...)

Skarmory: This pokemon is considered quite rare, and looks like a bird covered in steel, with silvery steel wings and body armour. Even its beak and head is covered with steel. Its about three feet tall (maybe a bit larger) and of the flying and steel type. Although burdened somewhat by its steel, Skarmory has an agility attack that can make it VERY fast... (hint hint)

Azumarril: This is the evolved version of Marril, which looks like a large water rabbit with floppy ears. Its body is basically oval and blue, with a white bubble pattern on it, making it look deceivingly cute. Azumarril are of a water type, and cannot be found anywhere (in Pokemon games, anyway) but their pre-version, Marril, is found on Mt. Moon. There is also rumored (I've seen the evidence!) to be a 'baby' version of this strain of pokemon, but its not listed yet...

Celebi: An extremely rare pokemon, and as rare as Mew. It is shy and rarely known about, and looks like a white fairy with attennae and a green head crest. One of Celebi's greatest powers is that it can travel through time and to some extent manipulate the field of time (what a spoiler!). Celebi are of the psychic and grass variety, and cannot be found on the pokemon game, but rather have to be 'earned'.

Umbreon: A midnight-black pokemon which has gold bands on its tail, ears, and legs, with menacing red eyes. Umbreon looks rather feline and canine-ish.. They are about 4'0", and evolve from Eevee at night-time, being of the dark type. Of course, they cannot be found on the Pokemon game in the wild.

And finally:

Ho-oh: A legendary pokemon said to be made from the rainbow, which appears only with the summoning of the rainbow wing on the Tin Tower. There is only one Ho-oh, and its appearance is said to be everything equivalent to a miracle. Ho-oh is about 6'0" (somewhere like that) and a fire/flying type. It has a special attack called Sacred Fire, which no other pokemon knows (unless you use Sketch, get lucky with Metronome, or use Mimic, or Transform, but that's another story...) For visual references, Ho-oh is the pokemon seen on the cover of the Gold version game.

As a last reminder, at no time in this story will the senshi appear because the POKEMON are the senshi, sort of. The trainer provides the power, and the pokemon uses the fueled attack (image of Clefairy wearing a Sailor Moon outfit). Hmmm.... I could include Satoshi (Ash) if you want (Myst_Lady's question...) but it'll have to be subtle. Oh yeah... I might have to change Sabrina's name to Natsume otherwise it doesn't match the Japanese thing.. darn. In case you haven't noticed, I LOVE all the Gym Leaders, so you will see them appearing often.

***Note: Sorry.. my next chapter is going to be a bit delayed cause my creative juices aren't flowing to well... If you're interested in knowing any other pokemon e-mail me, and I'll blab them out ^^... Well... ummm.. you can entertain yourself with the fact that I'm learning how to drive tomorrow! Okay.. that's not very interesting ... well... you better go (shoos the readers off the page). Ja! ***
