Chapter Twenty - CIVILISATION!
After a few weeks of exploration, Scribbles still hadn't seen any new Pokémon. But they somehow managed to leave the island anyway. They got to a new island that was the exact opposite of the last. It was full of people! They went to the Pokémon centre, and had something to eat. (They had previously only been eating leaves, not good for the digestion)
Victoria, Jig and Sillabub were so happy to be back to civilisation, that they went on a shopping spree. At first, they were all fine with it, but about five hours later they looked like mannequins and they were weighted down with bags and boxes. Everyone that is, except Victoria, Jig, Sillabub, Jemima and Ash, who just looked like Barbie dolls (Apart from Ash, he looked like a total idiot, as always, but in different clothes). Victoria was striding out in front with Jig and Sillabub, and Jemima and Ash were traipsing along, dragging their feet at the back. Jemima was looking at the awful gloves Vicky had bought her and forced her to wear. They were fingerless and black. The glove part was fine, but there were two little pom-poms on green string hanging off the middle. One was pink and the other was purple. She was wearing a long patchwork skirt, like her flares, which to her was bearable. The top was very strange. Her shoulders were bare, but there was a stringy bit round her neck, and it had small sleeves that were halfway down her arm. It was black, and it too was bearable, but she still didn't like it. She was just thinking how awful she looked when, she heard a shrewish laugh from behind them. Ash heard it too. Him and Jemima stopped in their tracks. They turned around.
"IT'S FATALIX!"
"AND G-G-G…" Started Ash
"GARY!" Squawked Jemima
"HEY! ASH!"
"JEMIMA! Still struggling along back here?"
"Still playing with your little Poképals?"
"Less of the little." Said Jetstorm, stepping forward.
"Yeah" Said Manic
"Mmm-Hmm." Agreed Atomic
"You're gonna have to deal with all of us if you have a grudge against two of us." Said John, menacingly as he stepped forward and stood in front of Fatalix, looking piercingly into his left eye.
Gary and Fatalix both swallowed hard. They hadn't been banking on eighteen people. They looked at each other and then glared straight back at the friends.
"We're not afraid of you!"
"Fatalix and Gary!
They're the best!
Fatalix and Gary!
Beat the rest!
WHOOOOOO" Chorused Gary's cheerleaders
"I'M afraid now…" said Ash
"You're afraid of almost EVERYTHING" Said Jemima, sideways through clenched teeth, as she was trying to remain dignified and cool, because if she unclenched her teeth, she would go bananas. Fatalix growled at Jemima.
"Look, Its Labby Girl!"
"GRRR!"
"What do you mean by that?" Asked Jacob
"You heard!" Sneered Fatalix
Gary just laughed in Ash's face as Ash struggled to punch him. Gary held his hand on Ash's forehead and held him away at arms length. Andre did a Karate Chop on Gary's arm and then Topaz gave him a bad Chinese burn. Jetstorm walked forward and lifted up Gary's chin:
"Still not afraid?" Asked Jetstorm
"POKÉMON BATTLE! That'll settle this!"
"ALRIGHT!" Yelled Ash
Jemima pulled Jacob away from Fatalix by the collar, as he was only making a total fool of himself, trying to kick Fatalix because Fatalix kept on blocking him.
'As much as I hate Fatalix' Thought Jemima 'He's got the quickest reflexes of anybody I know.'
"BUTTERFREE! GO!" Said Ash
"KARINKAT! GO!"
"What's that?" Asked Ash.
He checked in his Pokédex.
"Karinkat. No specific information exists for this genetically created Pokémon."
"It's my little Karinkat!"
Karinkat was bright orange, and about 3' 3". It had only one huge eye, and there was a small black cross where the other eye should be. Its tongue lolled out of its mouth, and its back legs looked as though they were on backwards. Its paws and muzzle were yellow and it was regarding Fatalix with a look of disdain.
"We can't use two Pokémon at one time! It's against the rules!" Said Ash
"Would you shut up about rules?" Said Jemima
Ash shut up.
"This should be interesting! BEEDRILL! GO!" Said Gary
"You know the old saying, The dog always beats the cat? ARCANINE! GO!" Said Fatalix
"Cat?"
"Karinkat is a cat you lame brain!"
"He'll be the winner!
Not that Ash!
We'll have an early victory bash!
This is Gary! He's our man!
No one wins like Gary Oak can!" Chorused the cheerleaders
Gary laughed and winked at Fatalix. Fatalix winked back.
"BEEDRILL! TWIN NEEDLE!"
"ARCANINE! FIRE BLAST!"
"BUTTERFREE! SLEEP POWDER!"
"KARINKAT! METRONOME!"
Beedrill's twin needle hit home on Butterfree. Karinkat dodged the Fire Blast, but its back end got caught in it. Butterfree used Sleep Powder, but it missed. Karinkat used Metronome. It used Hydro Pump. Arcanine was fainted, but Beedrill dodged.
"ARKI!"
"You called?" Asked John who had obviously been paying little or no attention to the escalating chaos.
"SHUT UP AND GO TO SLEEP ARKI!"
"BEEDRILL! POISON STING!"
Beedrill poisoned Karinkat. Karinkat swayed a little.
"Good… Good… Keep it going…" Whispered Jemima
"FINISH IT BEEDRILL!"
"SCAR ATTACK KARINKAT!"
Karinkat backflipped and Beedrill got the spikes on its front legs jammed into the ground. Karinkat leapt forward with suprising agility and pinned Beedrill down. It bit into Beedrill and Beedrill fainted.
"KARINKAT! WELL DONE! RETURN!"
"What!? I LOST?! This can't be!?"
"C'mon Gary, we don't wanna be near freaks like that. Lets go and find some people… more" He paused "our class." Said Fatalix, sneering over their horrific defeat and pretending they had won.
"C'mon girls, we don't wanna be near losers like that."
"YOU LOST!" Chorused Gary's cheerleaders. They all started bawling their eyes out.
"OH GIVE OVER! If I cried like that every time Ash lost a match, I'D BE WATERLOGGED!" Yelled Misty fiercely
Ash went bright red.
"Ah-ha-ha! She's just kidding! Aren't you Misty dear?" Grinned Ash
SMASH.
Misty hit him.
"Misty… That's not exactly what Ash needs right now, not in front of his arch enemy" Whispered Brock savagely.
