The years had passed by, and now our friends were teenagers, and almost adults, Nicole had reached her 19 years already, Tracey was on his 20, brock was 20 too, Rose was 19, like Nicole, justine was 18, so was Misty, Charlie was also 19 and Ash was the youngest, 17. Our friends are having a placid day in the real world, they are having a walk through the center, through a street named Ilica, and there are lots of shops in it. The girls go all arround taking a look at the clothes while the guys...
- oh, im so bored. Ash said.
- Me too. Brock replyed.
- Even though she is my girlfriend, i cant stand her when we come to the center. Tracey answered.
- Guys, welcome to my world, i have to stand those two "i love shopping" girls every single day, since the cinemas are in this stret, or most of them, we always come to the five o clock sesion, so we can get to the 6:30 sesion, you see. Charlie said.
- Girls come here, what a beautiful dress. Justine said.
- Oh, it is so nice. The others replied.
They all rushed in to try on that dress, the guys followed stepping slowly. When they entered Charlie sat down on a chair and started reading a book, the others stared at him quiet puzzled.
- Charlie, i dont think you will have time to read a page of that book. Tracey said.
- Oh i will, indeed i will have time to read two or three chapters. Charlie said.
- But how long does it take to buy a dress? Brock asked.
- Oh, to buy that dress, about ten minutes, but the point is that they will try on every single little piece of clothe they like in this shop, you should know Ash, you have been going with Misty since you were ten, and now you are 17. Charlie said.
- Oh dear! The whole group said.
They all sat down and stared at the girls walking from one way to the other, picking up every clothe they saw, Charlie was right. Finally they finished, they only bought a T-shirt each, Nicole bought a shirt, Misty bought a skirt and rose bough a pair of shorts.
- hey girls didnt you buy the dress? Tracey asked.
- No, it made us look fat. They all said at a time.
- Oh s.... the guys said.
They walked out of the shop and Nicole looked up at the sky, she was looking for mew, but she saw something else, a bird that flew past, it didnt look like any normal bird from the real world.
- guys look, what is that? She said.
- It looks like a pidgeotto, but what would pidgeotto do here? Tracey said.
- I dont know, lets follow. Nicole said.
- He is very fast, we will never reach it. Ash said.
- I guess you are right. Justine said.
- What is a pidgeotto? Rose asked.
- Its a bird pokemon, this weirdo here had one which evolved to pidgeot, and he left him free. Misty answered.
- Hey, he wanted to protect the pidgeys and the pidgeotto from the spearows and fearow. Ash answered.
- Yeah, whatever. Misty answered.
- Hey guys, you love each other, dont start fighting now. Nicole said standing between them.
- Ok, lets go to the cinema, NOW! Charlie shouted and pulled Rose and Justine along with him.
They finally got to the cinema and they sat in the middle row, first was Charlie, then Rose, then Brock, then Justine, Tracey, Nicole and finally Ash and Misty. It was a romantic movie, and so Tracey and Nicole started kissing, so did Ash and Misty, Justine just couldnt stand all this mushy stuff.
- oh, i hate when people start with this kissy stuff. She complained.
- Well, i am here, maybe...Brcok said.
- No thanks. Justine said as she stood up and walked to the seat next to Charlie's.
- He Justi, whats wrong? He asked.
- Well, see it yourselves, i cant stand them. She shouted pulling her hair.
- You are just jeallows because you dont have a match. Charlie said.
- Im not. She replied.
- You are too. He said.
- Im not...Justine complained once again.
- Ok guys stop fightin like little kids, in my opinion they are sweet, its really nice when two people love each other that much. Rose said.
- Yeah, really nice. Brock said all shaded.
- Who asked for your opinion. Rose said angrily.
- Excuse me, please, i want to see the movie so shut up. A guy from behind told Rose, and she looked back.
- We are so sorry, it will not happen again. She answered.
- Oh my... he is the cutest guy i have ever seen. Justine looked back and said as her eyes started glowing.
- And she was complaining about those four kissing. Charlie told Rose.
- Yeah. Rose replyed as a sweatdrop ran down her head.
The movie finally finished, Nicole and Tracey as well as Ash and Misty kept asking everyone what happened in it, like they were too busy to watch it.
- guys, if you were going to have all this kissing about, why did you waste your money? Rose said.
- We dont know, i guess we thought we would watch it. Tracey replied.
- Ok guys here we split, we will meet tomorrow by the bg stone in Green Forest, ok? Nicole said once they reachet the path intersection that would lead each of them to their homeland.
- Ok, bye guys. They all said.
Rose was going to stay with Nicole that night, and they had planned to make a night party. After taking dinner they moved to Nicole's room and they started fooling arround with the computer, chatting with some people through internet and those stuff. They finally turned it off and headed to their beds for taking some sleep. But Rose oppened one eye and saw Nicole standing in front of the window.
- Nicole, you are thinking about all this pokemon stuff right? Rose asked.
- Yeah, it seems so strange, i never thought i could have so many adventures in such a little time. Nicole answered.
- It is weird for me too, when i had my pokemon in my hands, i thought it was a dream, and i still do. Rose said.
- It is real, and i like it, im so happy now, i have everything, a boyfriend, adventures everywhere, and most important, friends, not only you, but also my pokemon, they are my friends too. Nicole said.
- You are right, do you think we will ever manage to put both worlds together? Rose asked.
- I dont know, but a voice inside me says that that day is closer than we all think. Nicole answered.
All of sudden, the bird they saw that afternoon flew past right in front of them, which made both girls amazed.
- i have to figure out where did he come from. Nicole said as she got ready to fly on antartikal.
- Nicole dont, we must stay here, we will figure out tomorrow, or we can ask Mew. Rose answered.
- No Rose, dont stop me, im going to find out. Nicole said and she rode on antartikal.
- Wait, im going with you. Rose said as she jumped on the dragon's back.
They flew rapidly throught the buildings, and finally saw the bird, it was a pidgeotto, and it flew faster than any pidgeotto known, it landed on a window, and a guy came out of it and let him in.
- Did you see what i just saw? Nicole said amazed.
- I cant believe it, there are more chosen children in the earth than just us? Rose said.
- I dont know, seems like it. Nicole said.
- Hu? Nicole, that guy was behind me in the cinema today. Rose said.
- Hi girls. Mew appeared out of nowere.
- WHA! Mew, you again, stopit, in gonna have a heart attack. Nicole said.
- What is going on? He asked.
- A pidgeotto entered that house, and a guy talked to him like if he knew him from before. Rose said.
- How do you explain this? Nicole said.
- I dont know, i have never told any other child about this. Mew said.
- That could mean that there is either another door, or you accidentally left it open, or even that someone else knows about it. Nicole said.
- I dont think so. Mew said.
- We will find out. Rose said.
They returned back to their house, where vulpix and pikachu still slept, amazingly nobody from the city noticed the great dragon flying past, which also helped. On the next day they all rushed to the big rock from the Green Forest, once there they talked about the pidgeotto, they all wanted to figure out what was he doing in the real world. Two big metallic arms went down the trees, and held both pikachus and vulpix tightly, and then pulled them up, it was Team Rocket on their ballon, and they had pikachu and vulpix.
- No, vulpix, we have to do something. Nicole shouted.
- Be careful Nicky, a wrong pokemon might damage them. Tracey said.
- You are right, the stronget ones are antartikal, dragonite and charizard, and they will damage them for sure, and the other just dont fly. Nicole thought.
- Look. Rose shouted.
A pidgeotto rushed out of the forest and flew up to the ballon, they started shoting nets at him, and sticky balls too, but he easily dogged all the attacks.
- it is amazing, how easily a pidgeoto dogges the attacks, not even antartikal could do that. Nicole said.
- You are right, it is amazing, like if it was another pokemon in the skin of pidgeotto. Tracey said.
- Pidgeot was not like this, he was much slower, and he was evolved, he has a strange way of flying which sounds familiar. Ash said.
- It does sound familiar to me too. Misty said.
Suddenly the pidgeotto flew faster than before, it started twisting arround itself and looked like a tornado, it flew straight to the balloon making a big hole in it, then it turned arround and flew torwards the ballon, and with its claws it picked up the boxes where the pikachus and vulpix were. Then he left them on the floor and flew back to the ballon, he made an icy wind attack and then the team rocket blasted off again.
- that is the first pidgeotto i see with icy attacks. Tracey said.
- Me too, and i have seen quiet a couple. Brock replied.
The pidgeotto flew past them without even lookig and he landed on a boys arm, who started patting him gently.
- good job, you are still as agile as before. He said.
- Thank you, thats my way of flying. The pidgeotto said.
- Hi, i am Nicole i have seen what you have made, it is amazing. Nicole said.
- Hi, my name is Ken, and this is Charlie, my pigeotto. Ken said.
- Charlie? Whahahahahahaha, Charlie, you have got a birds name. Justine told Charlie.
- Shut up Justine. Charlie answered angrily.
- Your pidgeotto is amazing. Tracey said squetching it.
- Yeah, it is. Ken said.
- But Ken, you are the guy that told me to shut up yesterday, right? Rose said.
- Oh, was it you? Yeah, i actually did, i never thought you could be as pretty. Ken said and Rose blushed.
- What? He thinks she is pretty? Justine said.
- Calm down Justine and admit it. Charlie said.
- Ok, if your pidgeotto is so strong, why dont you battle me? Nicole said.
- She wwill never change. Charlie said to himself.
- Well, what do you say Charlie? Ken asked the pidgeotto.
- Ok by me. The pidgeotto answered.
- He talks? They all said amazed.
- It is a long story. Ken answered.
- Ok, lets start, want me to send out my weakest or my strongest. Nicole asked.
- Send out your strongest. Ken answered.
- Are you sure? She is gonna destroy him. Nicole answered.
- Im sure pidgeotto can defeat her easily. Ken said sure of himself.
- Ok, go antartikal. Nicole said.
- Come on Charlie, lets fight. Ken said.
As the pidgeotto flew by it made a very strange sound, not the typical pidgeotto one, but more like a song, like if its cords were made out of glass. The antartikal made several ice beams, but the pidgeotto dogged all of them with amazing grace, antartikal tried hyper beam but the pidgeotto dogged that too, and he made an ice beam that hit antartikal, she was damaged badly, but still remained on the air, she attacked the bird pokemon but the pidgeotto made icy wind and antartikal was frozen, she broke the ice but was too weak to continue and fell. Nicole got her back into her pokeball, she was stunned, she had never seen a pokemon strong enough to defeat her dragon, except that other antartikal.
- Nicky, whats wrong? Tracey asked.
- She didnt even touch him, she didnt touch him even a bit. Nicole said with a loose sight.
- Its ok, well find out his secret. Tracey asked.
- Nice battle, your pokemon obeys you, its the firt one i see that obeys. Ken said.
- Ken, that pokemon is not a pidgeotto right? Tracey said.
- Are you blind or what? Of course he is. Ken said.
- No it isnt, he is more than that, he is like a legendary pokemon, no pidgeotto, it doesnt matter how well trained he is, cant learn several attacks and air moves. Tracey said.
- Ok, i will tell you, he is actually articuno, the ice bird. Ken said.
- But wait a minute, if you are the guy from the cinema and you are here, that means that you are a chosen child. Rose said.
- I dont know what it is, i just found an egg, i took care of it and out came an articuno, i trained him and then a cat shaped pokemon came and told me that this was a pokemon and his name and all that, then he opened the door for me and gave articuno the power for opening it, i came inside the world and met four pokemon that fought, one was articuno, the other was zapdos...Ken said.
- The other was moltres and finally there was lugia. Ash finished.
- How do you know? Ken asked.
- I was there. Ash answered.
- Well, articuno wanted to help lugia and tried to fight, he was faster and stronger than the other, but one of zapdos' attacks made an ice bunch fly and hit articuno, which tried to stablish himself, but all the pokemon attacked at once at him, lugia used his shield to protect him but, somewhat, there was some strange power and articuno was no longer articuno but a pidgeotto, i dont know how it all happend, but that is it, he got really depressed but i tried to comfort him, there must be a way of making him return to his previous appereance. Ken said.
- There is, i will talk with lugia. Mew answered and flew away.
The children slept there, they had to wait for mew to return, and he did, late on the next morning mew returned with good news.
- ok guys, all we have to do is to make the four legendary air beast make their attacks on him and thats it, but it has to be on the great stone or it will not work. Mew said.
- Where is that? Justine asked.
- East of Shamuti island. Misty answered.
- Its right where we had to fight for the worlds safety. Ash answered.
- We have to find a ship to get there. Nicole said.
- I know who has one, Melody is taking her holydays near here, in Starmie Hotel we can ask her. Tracey answered.
- By no means im going there, neither you Ash. Misty said holding him.
- Misty, dont get so jeallows, i love you and i promise i will always do. Ash answered.
- Are you sure? Misty asked.
- Believe me. Ash answered and kissed her softly.
- Ok, lets go then. Misty said.
They all went to the hotel but when they arrived she was not in it, so they decided to look for her down at the beach, but the beach was deserted, she was nowhere to be seen, suddenly Tracey spotted a ship that rushed from behind a stone, he recogniced Melody imeddiatly, so Nicole rode on antartikal with him and they rushed to it, Melody thought it was lugia when she saw her over her head but right after Tracey jumped on the boat andtold her about the problem.
- ok, lets start over, you want my ship to get to the island where the slowking is taking care of the legend, right? Melody said.
- Right. Nicole answered.
- Ok guys, do i have stupid tattoed over my forehead or what? By no means i will lend my ship for that, i spent a bad time there and im not in the mood for remembering everything over. Melody answered.
- Please, do it for the pidgeotto, Melody. Ash said.
- No! Melody answered.
- Ok, lets finish this, even if you like it or not, we will take your ship and get there, how can you be so selfish, how would you feel if you would have been turned to a slowpoke, and you want your beautiful appereance back, and there is only one person who can help and refuses. Nicole answered.
- Well... Melody started thinking.
- She will not, i will never be articuno back. Pidgeotto said weeping.
- Ok, i will take you there. Melody answered.
- Yes, thank you Melody. Nicole answered.
- You are welcome, i know ill regret this. Melody said to herself.
They all rode on the ship, excepting Nicole who chose to fly across the ocean on atartikal's back, Tracey wanted to go with her but she just refused assuring that with less weith antartikal would fly for longer distance. They had gone for half a distance and saw several lapras pods, some gyarados, a couple os amntines and one antartikal shadow across the bottom. Suddely the ship started to slow down and Tracey looked at Melody stunned.
- what is wrong Melody? Charlie asked.
- I think we have ran out of gas. Melody answered worried.
- That means...Tracey added.
- We are stucked in the middle of nowhere. Brock panicked.
- Calm down, it will be ok. Justine said when all of a sudden something hit the boat.
The boat shook and Rose who was in the upper part of the bat fell down, Ken was under and tryed to catch her on his arms, but from the impact he fell backwards, so that Rose stood over him.
- Oh sorry, and thanks for saving me. Rose said blushing.
- It is ok, my pleasure. Ken added blushing heavily.
- Come on you two, get up here and help. Misty shouted.
- Oh...ok, we are coming. They both said.
- Ken, are you ok? Misty asked.
- Yeah, why? Ken said.
- Your face looks like an apple, its so red. Misty said.
- Oh, its the sun. Ken said.
- Whahahahaha, thats what you think Ken. Char said laughing.
- Shut up Char. Ken shouted.
- Calm down Ken, i was just kidding. Char said.
- Hey, is everything allright down there? Nicole asked from the dragon.
- Yeah, but the boat is out of gas, we need some help pulling it to the nearest island. Melody shouted.
- Ok, here, take lapras and dragonite, they will help if you tie a rope over them. Nicole said as she got both pokemon out.
- Ok, come on lapras, squirtle. Ash said.
- Go goldeen, staryu, poliwag. Nicole said.
All of a sudden a huge gyarados rushed out of the water and attacked the strange water pokemon pod, dragonite stood in fron of all of them but antartikal rushed down and shot a devastating hyper beam that sent the pokemon flying. They all tied a rope arround the pokemon and they started pulling hard, the ship moved slowly, and it took them about three hours to get to the nearest island, which was the west side of the huge Shamuti island. After filling the ship with gas they rushed to the nearest pokemon center.
- Hello children, what can i do for you? Nurse Joy asked.
- We want some rooms for all of us. Nicole said.
- Hello nurse Joy, it doesnt amtter if you dont have a room because having you near makes any place become the most comfortable room. Brock interruped.
- Brock, stop it for once. Misty said smacking him hard and carrying him away.
- Well as i was saying we would like four rooms for two on one room for one. Nicola asked.
- Sorry, we have only got one room fro tree and three rooms for two but with only one bed. Nurse Joy said.
- Ok, i guess we must take them, there is no other choice, oh and also heal our pokemon. Nicole added.
- Ok, here have the keys. Nurse Joy handed the keys.
They all rushed upstairs and searched for the rooms, they finally found them and started deciding with whom will everyone sleep.
- ok, Tracey and I will sleep in one of the couple rooms, Ash and Misty will too, and who will sleep in the other couple room? Nicole said.
- I am taking the three bed room. Brock said and took the key out of Nicoles hand and rushed in.
- Wait Brock, let us go in. Justine and Charlie shouted hopping he would open, which he did.
- Well, i guess we have to sleep in the other room. Rose said stunned.
- I guess so. Ken added also stunned.
- Ok, so lets go. Nicole said and entered the room.
Once inside they unpacked all of their stuff and as Nicole was putting some of their clothes in the wardrove, Tracey held her from the waist, and kissed her sheek softly, Nicole turned arround somewhat a bit surprised, and she held from his neck and smiled, then Tracey aproached his lips slowly towards Nicole's and they ended up kissing, suddenly a nurse Joy entered and they both stared at her quiet surprised but without separating their mouths.
- Oh sorry, i didnt think you would be...well, you understand...well here i leave this kimonos, its a tradition here that the guest dress on kimono inside the center, well bye, and keep on your stuff. She said and rushed away.
Mew who was there bursted out in a lughter, and the couple looked at him with rage, and almost kicked his ass out of the room so they would have some peace. Suddenly they heard a scream, it was Misty.
- WAAAAAAAHHH! CANT YOU CALL BEFORE YOU ENTER? SHE SHOUTED.
- I am sorry, i guess i should have. Nurse joy said leaving the kimonos on the door.
She then headed torwards Ken's and Rose's room, they were just putting their stuff inside the wardrove and then Rose aproached Ken, who kept staring at the bed.
- what is wrong? She asked.
- There is only one bed. Ken said.
- I know, if you want you could sleep in it. Rose said.
- No please, you are the girl, you sleep, i will just sleep on that small sofa. Ken said.
- We will discuss it later, someone is calling. Rose said as she aproached the door.
- Hello, are you kissing or something? Nurse joy asked.
Ken and Rose looked at each other startled and blushed a little, but right after they burst into a laughter, the Rose opened the door, and nurse Joy gave them the kimonos.
- i guess that she might have entered without calling into Nicole's and Misty's room, those two couples take any little time they can be alone to start with thier romantic scene, i understand them. Rose said.
- You..you do? Ken said.
- Yeah, i have never been with any guy before, but in my dreams i have always loved to be alone with my guy. Rose said.
- Ok lovebirds, come on, lets go downstairs to take the dinner. Nicole said nocking on their door.
- Oh well, lets go. Rose said laughing a bit and didnt notice how much had Ken blushed.
Once down they took their dinner quietly, they ate mostly sea food, but Misty refused to eat fish, she was a water type pokemon trainer, so she asked for some tauros steak. They ate plenty of food and some fruit too, and then a dance started, it was summer and the weather was mild and lovely. Tracey took Nicole out to dance, Nicole then saw how Misty was waiting for Ash to take her out to dance and blinked an eye at Ash, who understood imediatly and held her hand and carried her out, Misty knew that it had been Nicole. Brock rushed out looking for some nurse Joy to dance with, but failed in his attemp, Charlie took Justine as a good friend he was, and a gentleman, and Ken and Rose stood by the table.
- Rose, why dont we go dancing with them? He asked.
- Sure, lets go. Rose said joyfully and Ken held her from the hand.
They started dancing with this really romantic music background, and at first they were so separated that a person could have rushed between them without even touching them, but as the dance got more and more intense they forgot that they were dancing with hundreds of couples arround them, and their friends too, and their feelings begun to show. They aproached slowly, they wanted to talk but didnt say a word, they were too scared to say anything, their noses were almost touching, they both closed their eyes and opened their lips, and when it seemed to become the most magical moment of all, out came Justine saying that they should switch pairs. They all switched airs so that Misty ended up dancing with Tracey, Nicole with Ash, Charlie with Rose and Ken with Justine who had a crucsh on him. Justine had noticed that they almost kiss and she avoided it. Ken blushed a lot, as he thought about what he almost made, he thought about what if she didnt feel the same way for him? Rose felt the same way as ken, and it seemed like their thoughts had become one. Then they rushed upstairs, they were all very tired from the day's adventures.
Back in their rooms, Ash and Misty had a pillow fight to see who stood in the side by the window, Tracey and Nicole just lyed on the bed, with Tracey's arm over Nicoles shoulder and her head on his shoulder, and her hand on his chest, they slept peacefully. Ken and Justine had decided that they both wanted the bed, but they didnt want to share it, Char stared at them and laughed.
- come on guys, why dont you make pillow fight just like Ash and Misty? Char suggested.
- Well, we are peaceful people. Ken said when a pillow nocked him down onto the floor.
- Nope, you are a peaceful person. Rose said.
- So you want war? You will get war. Ken said and jumped over the bed torwards Rose.
He rushed torwards her and they started fighting playfully, he tickeled her and shee tried to get rid of him, they all laughed, after half an hour they stopped totally exhausted, they lied down and smiled, then they smiled at each other, and Char laughed too.
- you know? The bed is big enough, its not so bad if we sleep together. Rose said.
- You are right, lets sleep then, tomorrow its gonna be a hard day. Ken said.
- Good night then. Rose said swiching off the light.
- Good night. Ken said facing the wall.
Ken was sound asleep soon, but Rose could not catch the sleep and stared at the window, she thought about him, and about the dance before, a couple of hours passed by and Ken turned arround and put his arm arround Rose's shoulder, ahd she just stared at him, as he slept, and put her head on his shoulder, she fnally fell asleep and Char started at them smiling. He then flew to the window which was open and started singing, like if he wanted to call the legendary birds and lugia, so they would give him his old appereance. It was arround eight o clock in the morning and all of them were sleeping placidly in their beds, when suddenly...
- ASH, GET OUT OF THE BATHROOM IMMEDIATLY, ITS MY TURN. Misty shouted.
- Oh dear, not now, its so early. Tracey complained.
- When will those two stop fighting for nothing. Brock asked himself as he stuck his head under the pillow.
- Misty, im going to take a shower so wait a second. Ash shouted.
- I want to enter, dumb. Misty shouted once again.
- Honey, maybe you dont mind if Misty comes here to take a shower. Nicole asked.
- As long as she stops shouting, she is gonna wake up the whole hotel. Tracey answered.
- Ok, Misty, if you want come to my room, Tracey and I are going to stay a bit longer in bed. Nicole said nocking on the wall.
- Ok, thank you. Misty said and went to Nicole's room.
- What happened? Nicole asked.
- I woke up and walked to the bathroom so i could take a shower but Ash saw me and rushed in before i did. Misty said.
- Dont worry, i uses to happen with my dad and brother. Nicole told.
- Ok, thank you. Misty answered.
- Girls, please, could you lower your voice? I want to take five more minutes of rest. Tracey said sleepily.
Meanwhile Rose was waking up as the sun rays entered through the window right to her face, she was not awake jet, and felt an arm arround her, she thought she was dreaming, but when she got wide awake, she saw it was not a dream, and she saw how they had slept that night, and blushed a lot. Ken started to wake up and got quiet surprised when he saw how he was.
- What are you doing? He asked.
- Me? What are you doing, you are the one who held me. Rose said.
- I did not. He argued.
- You might have been sleeping meanwhile, but you did. Rose said getting out of the bed.
- Oh well, we are not going to argue for this, are we? Ken said.
- No, but i think Ash and Misty are already arguing. Rose said.
- And those two are a couple? They keep arguing about everything. Ken said.
- Yeah, i know. Rose answered and rushed to the bathroom.
Ken waited till she got dressed and then he entered. When Ash finally got out of the bathroom, he looked all arround wondering where Misty was, pikachu just sat on the bed with togepi laughing. They all rushed downstairs and ate something for breakfast, then they ran to the harbour where Melody was with her boat, it had a lot of gas and it could run very fast now.
- Mew, go and call lugia, so he gets to the stone, i will rush with antartikal and try to get the birds here ok? Nicole said.
- Sure. Answered mew.
- Be carefull Nicky. Tracey shouted.
Mew went underwater in search for lugia and Nicole flew on antartikal torwards the icy isand, wich was the closes, antartikal san, and threw several hyper beams at the island hoping that articuno would rush out of it, and he did, he flew out of a cave and shot several ice beams which the dragon dogged, she then rushed to the thunder island. Zapdos was sleeping under a tree, and when he saw articuno in his territory he flew up and attacked the ice bird, the plan was just going right like Nicole expected. Antartikal flew higher and manoveured in a way that the other birds kept fighting and she could get the fire bird. Se got to the island and antatikal shot several ice beams at it, suddelly moltres flew out and attackde them with flamethrower, but antartikal dogged, she then flew to the great island where the slowking was, but as articuno followed, he frost the whole ocean and the ship was unable to continue.
- Oh no, how are we going to get there now? Ken said.
- I dont know. Melody answered.
Char didnt think twice and he flew torwards the island all by himself, Ken was going to go after him but Rose jumped on him and made him fall on the floor.
- let me go. Ken said.
- Never, are you nuts? Rose said.
- Let me go, he is in danger. Ken answered.
- NO, i will not, if only one of those birds notcies you, you are a gonner, you get my point? Only zapdos' energy is so big that could light the whole Viridian city for a year with only one of its thunderbolts. Rose said.
- You are right, but he will not make it. Ken said.
- He is a great bird, you will see, he will. Rose said.
They both hugged and Ken started crying, he was worried for his pokemon, his friend, and also happy that he had a friend like Rose that could comfort him now. The three birds attacked antartikal, she was very fast and easily dogged the attacks the all threw, she made several spins in the air and Nicole almost falls down. Suddenly articuno noticed the pidgeotto who was flying at the level of ice, and he gave the alarm at the other two, they attacked him but he dogged all the attacks easily, he flew up and got between to ice and fire pokemon so that both their attacks would hit each other, and it worked, they both fell but stood up quickly. The thunder bird tried several electric attacks on the small bird, but he missed all of them, then pidgeotto turned arround and flew torwards the island, he was very close now. The three birds were right next to him, articuno at the top, moltres at the left and zapdos at the right side, they shot their attacks at a time and pidgeotto dogged it, and the three beams hitted at the same time making a small explosion which made Char loose control of himslef for a while, but when he finally managed it was too late, a flamethrower hit him making him fall down, somewhat he recovered hhis flight a bit and flew slightly torwards the island and finally fell in it chrashing against a stone.
- NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! ARTICUNOOOOOOOOO. Ken called out, for the first time he called Charlie articuno.
The bird pokemon oppened his eyes slightly and stared at the three birds who were about to finish him off, antartikal was going to throw a hyper beam at them, but suddenly a whirlpool flew up and lugia appeared, he sang his son out loud and the three birds calmed down, he then stood right over Char, who somewhat managed to stand up, lugia stared at him, and mew stood next to lugia proudly, suddenly he made a loud shriek and moltres shoot out his flamethrwoer, zapdos his thunder and articuno finished with his ice beam, it didnt touch Char because lugia made a shield arround him, then he started glowing, and floated up twisting arround, then there was a big flash and the big figured floated down slowly, the glow disappeared partially, and a shiny blue figure stood still with its wings wrapped arround its body, it lifted its head up and slowly oppened its wing, when he finally did he sa they were as blue and shiny as the water, and a long shiny tail extended through the ice, he sang out loud and flew up, with the three birds flying friendly next to him.
- Ken, it is me, Char. The articuno said.
- Charlie, you are as beautiful as before. Ken said.
- Yeah, come on, get on my back and lets go for a ride, oh, you can take Rose as well if you want. Articuno said.
- Thanks. Rose said and they both blushed.
They rode on articuno which flew quickly, he did it so Rose would hold onto Ken's waist, he knew that they both liked each other, they just needed a little push. The three legendary birds flew next to then and suddenly lugia, mew and antatikal joined them. Nicole shouted from her dragon pokemon, and so did Ken and Rose, they were having fun. Lugia ordered moltres to melt the ocean and so did the fire pokemon. Melody observed with joy at lugia and the three birds, it brought her many memories, Brock came next to her and put his hands arround her shoulders, she touched his hand gently, Misty and Ash watched quiet amazed, as they expected that melody would slap him really hard, which she didnt. Antartikal passed near the boat and Nicole streched and hand out, Tracey held from it and she pulled him up, they both hugged. The day was comming to an end and it was time that they went back to their places, lugia with a last song returned to the sea with a big splash, the three legendary birds sang and returned to their islands, and the children went back to Shamuti.
- Hey Arti, how do you feel beeing back a huge legendary pokemon. Ken asked.
- I feel cold, but wonderful. Articuno joked.
- Oh, i love you, my friend. Ken said giving him a big hug, which almost frost him.
Rose watched from a far end, next to a tree, she sighted several times and a tear dropped down her cheek.
- tell him. A voice said.
- What the...? oh mew. Rose said.
- Tell him, he loves you, i am sure. Mew said.
- What if he doesnt? Rose said.
- What if he does? Are you going to suffer for him all your life? Mew said angrily.
- No, but, i am afraid he will refuse me. Rose said.
- That is exactly what keeps many people from dating, that fear. Mew said.
- But...Rose tried again.
- No buts, tell him or i will. Mew said and disappeared.
Articuno noticed that Rose was there, he knew that they loved each other and wanted his friend to be happy.
- Ken, you like Rose, right? He asked.
- No i dont. Ken said blushing.
- Then why do you blush? Articuno asked.
- I dont. Ken said furiously.
- Come on Ken, who are you trying to lie? Articuno said.
- Ok, i do. Ken said.
- Then tell her. Articuno suggested.
- No, i am sure a girl like her will never fall in love with a weirdo like me. Ken said sadly.
- I know you better than that, and i am sure she likes you, i saw it that night you slept together, in your dreams you hugged her, and was wide awake, and didnt move away. Articuno said.
- Really? Ken said with a huge smile on his face.
- Really, now tell her, she is right there. Articuno said pushing his friend with his head.
Ken aproached Rose, and at first she tried to hide but was too surprised to move, she stared at his eyes with a bright smile.
- Hi Rose. Ken said.
- Hi Ken, it was magnificent being over your pokemon, he is the most beautiful and majestic bird pokemon i have ever seen. Rose said.
- Thank you, well, i wanted to tell you something. Ken said.
- What is it? Rose asked.
- Well...i wanted...remember the dance? Well...i was...ex...pec...ting...i...Ken tried.
- Oh, what a disaster. Articuno said.
- I also wanted to tell you something, i wanted to tell you that i...i...Rose tried too.
- Here we go with the blushing about. Mew said.
- Spit it out guys. Both mew and articuno said.
- I wanted to tell you that i love you Ken/Rose. They both said at a time.
- Finally. The two legendary pokemon said.
The two teens aproached their heads slowly, opened their lips and closed their eyes, ending into a mystical and wonderful first kiss for both of them. The rest of the group saw them and they had a party that night. The next day they were all going to leave, but Brock refused.
- so you are not coming brock? Tracey asked.
- No, i have found what i wanted here. Brock answered, and hugged Melody.
- Really, you two are together? Misty said amazed.
- Yeah, i am sorry i once liked your boyfriend. Melody said.
- It is ok. Misty answered.
- Ok Brock, we are going to miss you, but, oh well, i guess we will meet again, i hope not like when you left proffesor Ivy. Ash said.
- That name. Brock said as he bent on the floor.
- Well guys, good bye. They all said.
They flew away, Rose and Ken riding on articuno, Nicole and Tracey as well as Ash and Misty rode on antartikal, Charlie rode on dragonite and justine rode on charizard, and that way they returned home after another great pokemon adventure, and wondering which other adventures will they have whenever they return.
END
- oh, im so bored. Ash said.
- Me too. Brock replyed.
- Even though she is my girlfriend, i cant stand her when we come to the center. Tracey answered.
- Guys, welcome to my world, i have to stand those two "i love shopping" girls every single day, since the cinemas are in this stret, or most of them, we always come to the five o clock sesion, so we can get to the 6:30 sesion, you see. Charlie said.
- Girls come here, what a beautiful dress. Justine said.
- Oh, it is so nice. The others replied.
They all rushed in to try on that dress, the guys followed stepping slowly. When they entered Charlie sat down on a chair and started reading a book, the others stared at him quiet puzzled.
- Charlie, i dont think you will have time to read a page of that book. Tracey said.
- Oh i will, indeed i will have time to read two or three chapters. Charlie said.
- But how long does it take to buy a dress? Brock asked.
- Oh, to buy that dress, about ten minutes, but the point is that they will try on every single little piece of clothe they like in this shop, you should know Ash, you have been going with Misty since you were ten, and now you are 17. Charlie said.
- Oh dear! The whole group said.
They all sat down and stared at the girls walking from one way to the other, picking up every clothe they saw, Charlie was right. Finally they finished, they only bought a T-shirt each, Nicole bought a shirt, Misty bought a skirt and rose bough a pair of shorts.
- hey girls didnt you buy the dress? Tracey asked.
- No, it made us look fat. They all said at a time.
- Oh s.... the guys said.
They walked out of the shop and Nicole looked up at the sky, she was looking for mew, but she saw something else, a bird that flew past, it didnt look like any normal bird from the real world.
- guys look, what is that? She said.
- It looks like a pidgeotto, but what would pidgeotto do here? Tracey said.
- I dont know, lets follow. Nicole said.
- He is very fast, we will never reach it. Ash said.
- I guess you are right. Justine said.
- What is a pidgeotto? Rose asked.
- Its a bird pokemon, this weirdo here had one which evolved to pidgeot, and he left him free. Misty answered.
- Hey, he wanted to protect the pidgeys and the pidgeotto from the spearows and fearow. Ash answered.
- Yeah, whatever. Misty answered.
- Hey guys, you love each other, dont start fighting now. Nicole said standing between them.
- Ok, lets go to the cinema, NOW! Charlie shouted and pulled Rose and Justine along with him.
They finally got to the cinema and they sat in the middle row, first was Charlie, then Rose, then Brock, then Justine, Tracey, Nicole and finally Ash and Misty. It was a romantic movie, and so Tracey and Nicole started kissing, so did Ash and Misty, Justine just couldnt stand all this mushy stuff.
- oh, i hate when people start with this kissy stuff. She complained.
- Well, i am here, maybe...Brcok said.
- No thanks. Justine said as she stood up and walked to the seat next to Charlie's.
- He Justi, whats wrong? He asked.
- Well, see it yourselves, i cant stand them. She shouted pulling her hair.
- You are just jeallows because you dont have a match. Charlie said.
- Im not. She replied.
- You are too. He said.
- Im not...Justine complained once again.
- Ok guys stop fightin like little kids, in my opinion they are sweet, its really nice when two people love each other that much. Rose said.
- Yeah, really nice. Brock said all shaded.
- Who asked for your opinion. Rose said angrily.
- Excuse me, please, i want to see the movie so shut up. A guy from behind told Rose, and she looked back.
- We are so sorry, it will not happen again. She answered.
- Oh my... he is the cutest guy i have ever seen. Justine looked back and said as her eyes started glowing.
- And she was complaining about those four kissing. Charlie told Rose.
- Yeah. Rose replyed as a sweatdrop ran down her head.
The movie finally finished, Nicole and Tracey as well as Ash and Misty kept asking everyone what happened in it, like they were too busy to watch it.
- guys, if you were going to have all this kissing about, why did you waste your money? Rose said.
- We dont know, i guess we thought we would watch it. Tracey replied.
- Ok guys here we split, we will meet tomorrow by the bg stone in Green Forest, ok? Nicole said once they reachet the path intersection that would lead each of them to their homeland.
- Ok, bye guys. They all said.
Rose was going to stay with Nicole that night, and they had planned to make a night party. After taking dinner they moved to Nicole's room and they started fooling arround with the computer, chatting with some people through internet and those stuff. They finally turned it off and headed to their beds for taking some sleep. But Rose oppened one eye and saw Nicole standing in front of the window.
- Nicole, you are thinking about all this pokemon stuff right? Rose asked.
- Yeah, it seems so strange, i never thought i could have so many adventures in such a little time. Nicole answered.
- It is weird for me too, when i had my pokemon in my hands, i thought it was a dream, and i still do. Rose said.
- It is real, and i like it, im so happy now, i have everything, a boyfriend, adventures everywhere, and most important, friends, not only you, but also my pokemon, they are my friends too. Nicole said.
- You are right, do you think we will ever manage to put both worlds together? Rose asked.
- I dont know, but a voice inside me says that that day is closer than we all think. Nicole answered.
All of sudden, the bird they saw that afternoon flew past right in front of them, which made both girls amazed.
- i have to figure out where did he come from. Nicole said as she got ready to fly on antartikal.
- Nicole dont, we must stay here, we will figure out tomorrow, or we can ask Mew. Rose answered.
- No Rose, dont stop me, im going to find out. Nicole said and she rode on antartikal.
- Wait, im going with you. Rose said as she jumped on the dragon's back.
They flew rapidly throught the buildings, and finally saw the bird, it was a pidgeotto, and it flew faster than any pidgeotto known, it landed on a window, and a guy came out of it and let him in.
- Did you see what i just saw? Nicole said amazed.
- I cant believe it, there are more chosen children in the earth than just us? Rose said.
- I dont know, seems like it. Nicole said.
- Hu? Nicole, that guy was behind me in the cinema today. Rose said.
- Hi girls. Mew appeared out of nowere.
- WHA! Mew, you again, stopit, in gonna have a heart attack. Nicole said.
- What is going on? He asked.
- A pidgeotto entered that house, and a guy talked to him like if he knew him from before. Rose said.
- How do you explain this? Nicole said.
- I dont know, i have never told any other child about this. Mew said.
- That could mean that there is either another door, or you accidentally left it open, or even that someone else knows about it. Nicole said.
- I dont think so. Mew said.
- We will find out. Rose said.
They returned back to their house, where vulpix and pikachu still slept, amazingly nobody from the city noticed the great dragon flying past, which also helped. On the next day they all rushed to the big rock from the Green Forest, once there they talked about the pidgeotto, they all wanted to figure out what was he doing in the real world. Two big metallic arms went down the trees, and held both pikachus and vulpix tightly, and then pulled them up, it was Team Rocket on their ballon, and they had pikachu and vulpix.
- No, vulpix, we have to do something. Nicole shouted.
- Be careful Nicky, a wrong pokemon might damage them. Tracey said.
- You are right, the stronget ones are antartikal, dragonite and charizard, and they will damage them for sure, and the other just dont fly. Nicole thought.
- Look. Rose shouted.
A pidgeotto rushed out of the forest and flew up to the ballon, they started shoting nets at him, and sticky balls too, but he easily dogged all the attacks.
- it is amazing, how easily a pidgeoto dogges the attacks, not even antartikal could do that. Nicole said.
- You are right, it is amazing, like if it was another pokemon in the skin of pidgeotto. Tracey said.
- Pidgeot was not like this, he was much slower, and he was evolved, he has a strange way of flying which sounds familiar. Ash said.
- It does sound familiar to me too. Misty said.
Suddenly the pidgeotto flew faster than before, it started twisting arround itself and looked like a tornado, it flew straight to the balloon making a big hole in it, then it turned arround and flew torwards the ballon, and with its claws it picked up the boxes where the pikachus and vulpix were. Then he left them on the floor and flew back to the ballon, he made an icy wind attack and then the team rocket blasted off again.
- that is the first pidgeotto i see with icy attacks. Tracey said.
- Me too, and i have seen quiet a couple. Brock replied.
The pidgeotto flew past them without even lookig and he landed on a boys arm, who started patting him gently.
- good job, you are still as agile as before. He said.
- Thank you, thats my way of flying. The pidgeotto said.
- Hi, i am Nicole i have seen what you have made, it is amazing. Nicole said.
- Hi, my name is Ken, and this is Charlie, my pigeotto. Ken said.
- Charlie? Whahahahahahaha, Charlie, you have got a birds name. Justine told Charlie.
- Shut up Justine. Charlie answered angrily.
- Your pidgeotto is amazing. Tracey said squetching it.
- Yeah, it is. Ken said.
- But Ken, you are the guy that told me to shut up yesterday, right? Rose said.
- Oh, was it you? Yeah, i actually did, i never thought you could be as pretty. Ken said and Rose blushed.
- What? He thinks she is pretty? Justine said.
- Calm down Justine and admit it. Charlie said.
- Ok, if your pidgeotto is so strong, why dont you battle me? Nicole said.
- She wwill never change. Charlie said to himself.
- Well, what do you say Charlie? Ken asked the pidgeotto.
- Ok by me. The pidgeotto answered.
- He talks? They all said amazed.
- It is a long story. Ken answered.
- Ok, lets start, want me to send out my weakest or my strongest. Nicole asked.
- Send out your strongest. Ken answered.
- Are you sure? She is gonna destroy him. Nicole answered.
- Im sure pidgeotto can defeat her easily. Ken said sure of himself.
- Ok, go antartikal. Nicole said.
- Come on Charlie, lets fight. Ken said.
As the pidgeotto flew by it made a very strange sound, not the typical pidgeotto one, but more like a song, like if its cords were made out of glass. The antartikal made several ice beams, but the pidgeotto dogged all of them with amazing grace, antartikal tried hyper beam but the pidgeotto dogged that too, and he made an ice beam that hit antartikal, she was damaged badly, but still remained on the air, she attacked the bird pokemon but the pidgeotto made icy wind and antartikal was frozen, she broke the ice but was too weak to continue and fell. Nicole got her back into her pokeball, she was stunned, she had never seen a pokemon strong enough to defeat her dragon, except that other antartikal.
- Nicky, whats wrong? Tracey asked.
- She didnt even touch him, she didnt touch him even a bit. Nicole said with a loose sight.
- Its ok, well find out his secret. Tracey asked.
- Nice battle, your pokemon obeys you, its the firt one i see that obeys. Ken said.
- Ken, that pokemon is not a pidgeotto right? Tracey said.
- Are you blind or what? Of course he is. Ken said.
- No it isnt, he is more than that, he is like a legendary pokemon, no pidgeotto, it doesnt matter how well trained he is, cant learn several attacks and air moves. Tracey said.
- Ok, i will tell you, he is actually articuno, the ice bird. Ken said.
- But wait a minute, if you are the guy from the cinema and you are here, that means that you are a chosen child. Rose said.
- I dont know what it is, i just found an egg, i took care of it and out came an articuno, i trained him and then a cat shaped pokemon came and told me that this was a pokemon and his name and all that, then he opened the door for me and gave articuno the power for opening it, i came inside the world and met four pokemon that fought, one was articuno, the other was zapdos...Ken said.
- The other was moltres and finally there was lugia. Ash finished.
- How do you know? Ken asked.
- I was there. Ash answered.
- Well, articuno wanted to help lugia and tried to fight, he was faster and stronger than the other, but one of zapdos' attacks made an ice bunch fly and hit articuno, which tried to stablish himself, but all the pokemon attacked at once at him, lugia used his shield to protect him but, somewhat, there was some strange power and articuno was no longer articuno but a pidgeotto, i dont know how it all happend, but that is it, he got really depressed but i tried to comfort him, there must be a way of making him return to his previous appereance. Ken said.
- There is, i will talk with lugia. Mew answered and flew away.
The children slept there, they had to wait for mew to return, and he did, late on the next morning mew returned with good news.
- ok guys, all we have to do is to make the four legendary air beast make their attacks on him and thats it, but it has to be on the great stone or it will not work. Mew said.
- Where is that? Justine asked.
- East of Shamuti island. Misty answered.
- Its right where we had to fight for the worlds safety. Ash answered.
- We have to find a ship to get there. Nicole said.
- I know who has one, Melody is taking her holydays near here, in Starmie Hotel we can ask her. Tracey answered.
- By no means im going there, neither you Ash. Misty said holding him.
- Misty, dont get so jeallows, i love you and i promise i will always do. Ash answered.
- Are you sure? Misty asked.
- Believe me. Ash answered and kissed her softly.
- Ok, lets go then. Misty said.
They all went to the hotel but when they arrived she was not in it, so they decided to look for her down at the beach, but the beach was deserted, she was nowhere to be seen, suddenly Tracey spotted a ship that rushed from behind a stone, he recogniced Melody imeddiatly, so Nicole rode on antartikal with him and they rushed to it, Melody thought it was lugia when she saw her over her head but right after Tracey jumped on the boat andtold her about the problem.
- ok, lets start over, you want my ship to get to the island where the slowking is taking care of the legend, right? Melody said.
- Right. Nicole answered.
- Ok guys, do i have stupid tattoed over my forehead or what? By no means i will lend my ship for that, i spent a bad time there and im not in the mood for remembering everything over. Melody answered.
- Please, do it for the pidgeotto, Melody. Ash said.
- No! Melody answered.
- Ok, lets finish this, even if you like it or not, we will take your ship and get there, how can you be so selfish, how would you feel if you would have been turned to a slowpoke, and you want your beautiful appereance back, and there is only one person who can help and refuses. Nicole answered.
- Well... Melody started thinking.
- She will not, i will never be articuno back. Pidgeotto said weeping.
- Ok, i will take you there. Melody answered.
- Yes, thank you Melody. Nicole answered.
- You are welcome, i know ill regret this. Melody said to herself.
They all rode on the ship, excepting Nicole who chose to fly across the ocean on atartikal's back, Tracey wanted to go with her but she just refused assuring that with less weith antartikal would fly for longer distance. They had gone for half a distance and saw several lapras pods, some gyarados, a couple os amntines and one antartikal shadow across the bottom. Suddely the ship started to slow down and Tracey looked at Melody stunned.
- what is wrong Melody? Charlie asked.
- I think we have ran out of gas. Melody answered worried.
- That means...Tracey added.
- We are stucked in the middle of nowhere. Brock panicked.
- Calm down, it will be ok. Justine said when all of a sudden something hit the boat.
The boat shook and Rose who was in the upper part of the bat fell down, Ken was under and tryed to catch her on his arms, but from the impact he fell backwards, so that Rose stood over him.
- Oh sorry, and thanks for saving me. Rose said blushing.
- It is ok, my pleasure. Ken added blushing heavily.
- Come on you two, get up here and help. Misty shouted.
- Oh...ok, we are coming. They both said.
- Ken, are you ok? Misty asked.
- Yeah, why? Ken said.
- Your face looks like an apple, its so red. Misty said.
- Oh, its the sun. Ken said.
- Whahahahaha, thats what you think Ken. Char said laughing.
- Shut up Char. Ken shouted.
- Calm down Ken, i was just kidding. Char said.
- Hey, is everything allright down there? Nicole asked from the dragon.
- Yeah, but the boat is out of gas, we need some help pulling it to the nearest island. Melody shouted.
- Ok, here, take lapras and dragonite, they will help if you tie a rope over them. Nicole said as she got both pokemon out.
- Ok, come on lapras, squirtle. Ash said.
- Go goldeen, staryu, poliwag. Nicole said.
All of a sudden a huge gyarados rushed out of the water and attacked the strange water pokemon pod, dragonite stood in fron of all of them but antartikal rushed down and shot a devastating hyper beam that sent the pokemon flying. They all tied a rope arround the pokemon and they started pulling hard, the ship moved slowly, and it took them about three hours to get to the nearest island, which was the west side of the huge Shamuti island. After filling the ship with gas they rushed to the nearest pokemon center.
- Hello children, what can i do for you? Nurse Joy asked.
- We want some rooms for all of us. Nicole said.
- Hello nurse Joy, it doesnt amtter if you dont have a room because having you near makes any place become the most comfortable room. Brock interruped.
- Brock, stop it for once. Misty said smacking him hard and carrying him away.
- Well as i was saying we would like four rooms for two on one room for one. Nicola asked.
- Sorry, we have only got one room fro tree and three rooms for two but with only one bed. Nurse Joy said.
- Ok, i guess we must take them, there is no other choice, oh and also heal our pokemon. Nicole added.
- Ok, here have the keys. Nurse Joy handed the keys.
They all rushed upstairs and searched for the rooms, they finally found them and started deciding with whom will everyone sleep.
- ok, Tracey and I will sleep in one of the couple rooms, Ash and Misty will too, and who will sleep in the other couple room? Nicole said.
- I am taking the three bed room. Brock said and took the key out of Nicoles hand and rushed in.
- Wait Brock, let us go in. Justine and Charlie shouted hopping he would open, which he did.
- Well, i guess we have to sleep in the other room. Rose said stunned.
- I guess so. Ken added also stunned.
- Ok, so lets go. Nicole said and entered the room.
Once inside they unpacked all of their stuff and as Nicole was putting some of their clothes in the wardrove, Tracey held her from the waist, and kissed her sheek softly, Nicole turned arround somewhat a bit surprised, and she held from his neck and smiled, then Tracey aproached his lips slowly towards Nicole's and they ended up kissing, suddenly a nurse Joy entered and they both stared at her quiet surprised but without separating their mouths.
- Oh sorry, i didnt think you would be...well, you understand...well here i leave this kimonos, its a tradition here that the guest dress on kimono inside the center, well bye, and keep on your stuff. She said and rushed away.
Mew who was there bursted out in a lughter, and the couple looked at him with rage, and almost kicked his ass out of the room so they would have some peace. Suddenly they heard a scream, it was Misty.
- WAAAAAAAHHH! CANT YOU CALL BEFORE YOU ENTER? SHE SHOUTED.
- I am sorry, i guess i should have. Nurse joy said leaving the kimonos on the door.
She then headed torwards Ken's and Rose's room, they were just putting their stuff inside the wardrove and then Rose aproached Ken, who kept staring at the bed.
- what is wrong? She asked.
- There is only one bed. Ken said.
- I know, if you want you could sleep in it. Rose said.
- No please, you are the girl, you sleep, i will just sleep on that small sofa. Ken said.
- We will discuss it later, someone is calling. Rose said as she aproached the door.
- Hello, are you kissing or something? Nurse joy asked.
Ken and Rose looked at each other startled and blushed a little, but right after they burst into a laughter, the Rose opened the door, and nurse Joy gave them the kimonos.
- i guess that she might have entered without calling into Nicole's and Misty's room, those two couples take any little time they can be alone to start with thier romantic scene, i understand them. Rose said.
- You..you do? Ken said.
- Yeah, i have never been with any guy before, but in my dreams i have always loved to be alone with my guy. Rose said.
- Ok lovebirds, come on, lets go downstairs to take the dinner. Nicole said nocking on their door.
- Oh well, lets go. Rose said laughing a bit and didnt notice how much had Ken blushed.
Once down they took their dinner quietly, they ate mostly sea food, but Misty refused to eat fish, she was a water type pokemon trainer, so she asked for some tauros steak. They ate plenty of food and some fruit too, and then a dance started, it was summer and the weather was mild and lovely. Tracey took Nicole out to dance, Nicole then saw how Misty was waiting for Ash to take her out to dance and blinked an eye at Ash, who understood imediatly and held her hand and carried her out, Misty knew that it had been Nicole. Brock rushed out looking for some nurse Joy to dance with, but failed in his attemp, Charlie took Justine as a good friend he was, and a gentleman, and Ken and Rose stood by the table.
- Rose, why dont we go dancing with them? He asked.
- Sure, lets go. Rose said joyfully and Ken held her from the hand.
They started dancing with this really romantic music background, and at first they were so separated that a person could have rushed between them without even touching them, but as the dance got more and more intense they forgot that they were dancing with hundreds of couples arround them, and their friends too, and their feelings begun to show. They aproached slowly, they wanted to talk but didnt say a word, they were too scared to say anything, their noses were almost touching, they both closed their eyes and opened their lips, and when it seemed to become the most magical moment of all, out came Justine saying that they should switch pairs. They all switched airs so that Misty ended up dancing with Tracey, Nicole with Ash, Charlie with Rose and Ken with Justine who had a crucsh on him. Justine had noticed that they almost kiss and she avoided it. Ken blushed a lot, as he thought about what he almost made, he thought about what if she didnt feel the same way for him? Rose felt the same way as ken, and it seemed like their thoughts had become one. Then they rushed upstairs, they were all very tired from the day's adventures.
Back in their rooms, Ash and Misty had a pillow fight to see who stood in the side by the window, Tracey and Nicole just lyed on the bed, with Tracey's arm over Nicoles shoulder and her head on his shoulder, and her hand on his chest, they slept peacefully. Ken and Justine had decided that they both wanted the bed, but they didnt want to share it, Char stared at them and laughed.
- come on guys, why dont you make pillow fight just like Ash and Misty? Char suggested.
- Well, we are peaceful people. Ken said when a pillow nocked him down onto the floor.
- Nope, you are a peaceful person. Rose said.
- So you want war? You will get war. Ken said and jumped over the bed torwards Rose.
He rushed torwards her and they started fighting playfully, he tickeled her and shee tried to get rid of him, they all laughed, after half an hour they stopped totally exhausted, they lied down and smiled, then they smiled at each other, and Char laughed too.
- you know? The bed is big enough, its not so bad if we sleep together. Rose said.
- You are right, lets sleep then, tomorrow its gonna be a hard day. Ken said.
- Good night then. Rose said swiching off the light.
- Good night. Ken said facing the wall.
Ken was sound asleep soon, but Rose could not catch the sleep and stared at the window, she thought about him, and about the dance before, a couple of hours passed by and Ken turned arround and put his arm arround Rose's shoulder, ahd she just stared at him, as he slept, and put her head on his shoulder, she fnally fell asleep and Char started at them smiling. He then flew to the window which was open and started singing, like if he wanted to call the legendary birds and lugia, so they would give him his old appereance. It was arround eight o clock in the morning and all of them were sleeping placidly in their beds, when suddenly...
- ASH, GET OUT OF THE BATHROOM IMMEDIATLY, ITS MY TURN. Misty shouted.
- Oh dear, not now, its so early. Tracey complained.
- When will those two stop fighting for nothing. Brock asked himself as he stuck his head under the pillow.
- Misty, im going to take a shower so wait a second. Ash shouted.
- I want to enter, dumb. Misty shouted once again.
- Honey, maybe you dont mind if Misty comes here to take a shower. Nicole asked.
- As long as she stops shouting, she is gonna wake up the whole hotel. Tracey answered.
- Ok, Misty, if you want come to my room, Tracey and I are going to stay a bit longer in bed. Nicole said nocking on the wall.
- Ok, thank you. Misty said and went to Nicole's room.
- What happened? Nicole asked.
- I woke up and walked to the bathroom so i could take a shower but Ash saw me and rushed in before i did. Misty said.
- Dont worry, i uses to happen with my dad and brother. Nicole told.
- Ok, thank you. Misty answered.
- Girls, please, could you lower your voice? I want to take five more minutes of rest. Tracey said sleepily.
Meanwhile Rose was waking up as the sun rays entered through the window right to her face, she was not awake jet, and felt an arm arround her, she thought she was dreaming, but when she got wide awake, she saw it was not a dream, and she saw how they had slept that night, and blushed a lot. Ken started to wake up and got quiet surprised when he saw how he was.
- What are you doing? He asked.
- Me? What are you doing, you are the one who held me. Rose said.
- I did not. He argued.
- You might have been sleeping meanwhile, but you did. Rose said getting out of the bed.
- Oh well, we are not going to argue for this, are we? Ken said.
- No, but i think Ash and Misty are already arguing. Rose said.
- And those two are a couple? They keep arguing about everything. Ken said.
- Yeah, i know. Rose answered and rushed to the bathroom.
Ken waited till she got dressed and then he entered. When Ash finally got out of the bathroom, he looked all arround wondering where Misty was, pikachu just sat on the bed with togepi laughing. They all rushed downstairs and ate something for breakfast, then they ran to the harbour where Melody was with her boat, it had a lot of gas and it could run very fast now.
- Mew, go and call lugia, so he gets to the stone, i will rush with antartikal and try to get the birds here ok? Nicole said.
- Sure. Answered mew.
- Be carefull Nicky. Tracey shouted.
Mew went underwater in search for lugia and Nicole flew on antartikal torwards the icy isand, wich was the closes, antartikal san, and threw several hyper beams at the island hoping that articuno would rush out of it, and he did, he flew out of a cave and shot several ice beams which the dragon dogged, she then rushed to the thunder island. Zapdos was sleeping under a tree, and when he saw articuno in his territory he flew up and attacked the ice bird, the plan was just going right like Nicole expected. Antartikal flew higher and manoveured in a way that the other birds kept fighting and she could get the fire bird. Se got to the island and antatikal shot several ice beams at it, suddelly moltres flew out and attackde them with flamethrower, but antartikal dogged, she then flew to the great island where the slowking was, but as articuno followed, he frost the whole ocean and the ship was unable to continue.
- Oh no, how are we going to get there now? Ken said.
- I dont know. Melody answered.
Char didnt think twice and he flew torwards the island all by himself, Ken was going to go after him but Rose jumped on him and made him fall on the floor.
- let me go. Ken said.
- Never, are you nuts? Rose said.
- Let me go, he is in danger. Ken answered.
- NO, i will not, if only one of those birds notcies you, you are a gonner, you get my point? Only zapdos' energy is so big that could light the whole Viridian city for a year with only one of its thunderbolts. Rose said.
- You are right, but he will not make it. Ken said.
- He is a great bird, you will see, he will. Rose said.
They both hugged and Ken started crying, he was worried for his pokemon, his friend, and also happy that he had a friend like Rose that could comfort him now. The three birds attacked antartikal, she was very fast and easily dogged the attacks the all threw, she made several spins in the air and Nicole almost falls down. Suddenly articuno noticed the pidgeotto who was flying at the level of ice, and he gave the alarm at the other two, they attacked him but he dogged all the attacks easily, he flew up and got between to ice and fire pokemon so that both their attacks would hit each other, and it worked, they both fell but stood up quickly. The thunder bird tried several electric attacks on the small bird, but he missed all of them, then pidgeotto turned arround and flew torwards the island, he was very close now. The three birds were right next to him, articuno at the top, moltres at the left and zapdos at the right side, they shot their attacks at a time and pidgeotto dogged it, and the three beams hitted at the same time making a small explosion which made Char loose control of himslef for a while, but when he finally managed it was too late, a flamethrower hit him making him fall down, somewhat he recovered hhis flight a bit and flew slightly torwards the island and finally fell in it chrashing against a stone.
- NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! ARTICUNOOOOOOOOO. Ken called out, for the first time he called Charlie articuno.
The bird pokemon oppened his eyes slightly and stared at the three birds who were about to finish him off, antartikal was going to throw a hyper beam at them, but suddenly a whirlpool flew up and lugia appeared, he sang his son out loud and the three birds calmed down, he then stood right over Char, who somewhat managed to stand up, lugia stared at him, and mew stood next to lugia proudly, suddenly he made a loud shriek and moltres shoot out his flamethrwoer, zapdos his thunder and articuno finished with his ice beam, it didnt touch Char because lugia made a shield arround him, then he started glowing, and floated up twisting arround, then there was a big flash and the big figured floated down slowly, the glow disappeared partially, and a shiny blue figure stood still with its wings wrapped arround its body, it lifted its head up and slowly oppened its wing, when he finally did he sa they were as blue and shiny as the water, and a long shiny tail extended through the ice, he sang out loud and flew up, with the three birds flying friendly next to him.
- Ken, it is me, Char. The articuno said.
- Charlie, you are as beautiful as before. Ken said.
- Yeah, come on, get on my back and lets go for a ride, oh, you can take Rose as well if you want. Articuno said.
- Thanks. Rose said and they both blushed.
They rode on articuno which flew quickly, he did it so Rose would hold onto Ken's waist, he knew that they both liked each other, they just needed a little push. The three legendary birds flew next to then and suddenly lugia, mew and antatikal joined them. Nicole shouted from her dragon pokemon, and so did Ken and Rose, they were having fun. Lugia ordered moltres to melt the ocean and so did the fire pokemon. Melody observed with joy at lugia and the three birds, it brought her many memories, Brock came next to her and put his hands arround her shoulders, she touched his hand gently, Misty and Ash watched quiet amazed, as they expected that melody would slap him really hard, which she didnt. Antartikal passed near the boat and Nicole streched and hand out, Tracey held from it and she pulled him up, they both hugged. The day was comming to an end and it was time that they went back to their places, lugia with a last song returned to the sea with a big splash, the three legendary birds sang and returned to their islands, and the children went back to Shamuti.
- Hey Arti, how do you feel beeing back a huge legendary pokemon. Ken asked.
- I feel cold, but wonderful. Articuno joked.
- Oh, i love you, my friend. Ken said giving him a big hug, which almost frost him.
Rose watched from a far end, next to a tree, she sighted several times and a tear dropped down her cheek.
- tell him. A voice said.
- What the...? oh mew. Rose said.
- Tell him, he loves you, i am sure. Mew said.
- What if he doesnt? Rose said.
- What if he does? Are you going to suffer for him all your life? Mew said angrily.
- No, but, i am afraid he will refuse me. Rose said.
- That is exactly what keeps many people from dating, that fear. Mew said.
- But...Rose tried again.
- No buts, tell him or i will. Mew said and disappeared.
Articuno noticed that Rose was there, he knew that they loved each other and wanted his friend to be happy.
- Ken, you like Rose, right? He asked.
- No i dont. Ken said blushing.
- Then why do you blush? Articuno asked.
- I dont. Ken said furiously.
- Come on Ken, who are you trying to lie? Articuno said.
- Ok, i do. Ken said.
- Then tell her. Articuno suggested.
- No, i am sure a girl like her will never fall in love with a weirdo like me. Ken said sadly.
- I know you better than that, and i am sure she likes you, i saw it that night you slept together, in your dreams you hugged her, and was wide awake, and didnt move away. Articuno said.
- Really? Ken said with a huge smile on his face.
- Really, now tell her, she is right there. Articuno said pushing his friend with his head.
Ken aproached Rose, and at first she tried to hide but was too surprised to move, she stared at his eyes with a bright smile.
- Hi Rose. Ken said.
- Hi Ken, it was magnificent being over your pokemon, he is the most beautiful and majestic bird pokemon i have ever seen. Rose said.
- Thank you, well, i wanted to tell you something. Ken said.
- What is it? Rose asked.
- Well...i wanted...remember the dance? Well...i was...ex...pec...ting...i...Ken tried.
- Oh, what a disaster. Articuno said.
- I also wanted to tell you something, i wanted to tell you that i...i...Rose tried too.
- Here we go with the blushing about. Mew said.
- Spit it out guys. Both mew and articuno said.
- I wanted to tell you that i love you Ken/Rose. They both said at a time.
- Finally. The two legendary pokemon said.
The two teens aproached their heads slowly, opened their lips and closed their eyes, ending into a mystical and wonderful first kiss for both of them. The rest of the group saw them and they had a party that night. The next day they were all going to leave, but Brock refused.
- so you are not coming brock? Tracey asked.
- No, i have found what i wanted here. Brock answered, and hugged Melody.
- Really, you two are together? Misty said amazed.
- Yeah, i am sorry i once liked your boyfriend. Melody said.
- It is ok. Misty answered.
- Ok Brock, we are going to miss you, but, oh well, i guess we will meet again, i hope not like when you left proffesor Ivy. Ash said.
- That name. Brock said as he bent on the floor.
- Well guys, good bye. They all said.
They flew away, Rose and Ken riding on articuno, Nicole and Tracey as well as Ash and Misty rode on antartikal, Charlie rode on dragonite and justine rode on charizard, and that way they returned home after another great pokemon adventure, and wondering which other adventures will they have whenever they return.
