Chapter 2- Past Present Day




"Aw, Crap!", I stared at the mess I made with my sneaker. The sneaker had accidentally bumped the
table and now I have a broken vase lying on the floor.
Crap, crap, crap. Mom's most probably gonna kill me, well not if I run away from home.
I gotta stop thinking like this, after all, I am 16 now.
"Mim,mim,mim", the joker looking housekeeper came in carrying some cookies for me and then he saw
the vase.
"MR.MIME!", he shouted.
My mom rushed in and stared in horror.
Stupid Pokémon.
"Ash Ketchum, Do you know how much that vase cost me?", my mom asked me looking through those
glasses of her. Yeah, thats right, she got glasses now. Problem.
I'm sorry, minds of teenagers work in crazy ways.

"Uh, I'm sorry mom, I accidentaly knocked over the table when I tried to tie my shoelaces", I started.
"Ash honey, you should be more careful in the future, that vase was a special gift from Professor Oak"
"I'm really sorry, I know, how about I let Noctowl mend it back?", the idea popped into my mind.
"You hooting bird can do that?", mom asked. And I sure wished he does know how to mend things.
"Um..yah!", I put my index and middle finger into my mouth and blew a twisting short whistle. I call it
Noctowl's whistle.
I waited under the penetrating stares from mom and Mime.
The fluttering of wings and the arrival of my rare special Noctowl relieved me, slightly.
"Owl!", it settled itself in a ceiling perch and twisted its head counter clock wise to about 90 degrees.
"a-hem, Noctowl I would like you to try and put that vase back into its original state.", I pointed at the
vase.
"Noctowl", it looked at me.
"Noctowl, please!', I said.
Noctowl turned away from me and stared at the vase, it stared and then suddenly its body turned crimson
red and a white beam formed between his beak and twisted into a spiral. The spiral spun around and
blasted onto the remenents of the vase. The pieces started to spin together in the air and white tiny beams
started shooting from each of the pieces and then suddenly the whole thing pieced together and formed
back into the beautiful vase illustrated with the three legendary birds along the upper half of the vase and the three legendary dogs along the lower half.
"WOW!", Mom exclaimed and came forward to inspect the vase and studied it to see if this was actually
true.
"Noctowl", Noctowl closed its eyes and reopened them.
I walked over to the perch and held out my hand. Noctowl fluttered down and sat on my hand and stared
at me.
"Thanks, i better look this up!", I take out my pokedex.

A Legendary attack meant to mend broken things, even broken bones, namely known as Owl Call

"i guess you learned Owl Call, Noctowl, com'n how about you and me go outside and have a training
session? You wanna?"
"Noooct", it nodded.

Life was good, what else could go wrong that Noctowl can't mend.

* * * * * *
"Starmie, thunderbolt!", she yelled as she directed her star shaped pokemon to jump in the air and spin
around to perform a thunderbolt. Yellow electric beams shot out from the index axis arm. It lighted up the
darkened sky and electrocuted the dewgong that was about to let out an aroura beam.
"Deeeeww", the white seal type pokemon fainted and blacked out.
"YES, oh yeah and another bites the dust!", she cried out as she embraced starmie.
"Hcha", Starmie spurted as it's jewel glowed green and subdued.
She was so proud of him, especially the way he learned to use his jewel to do different types of attacks.
Hers was the only starmie that knew how to do Water/ Electric/ Psychic/ Ground attacks. And she was
proud of him.
"Com'n Starmie, time for a swim.", she already had her bathing suit on so she dived in.
"Hcha", Starmie slipped through the water with grace.
"Like, thats not fair, I like totally want a rematch!", her second sisterwhined.
"Aw, go away!", the youngest sister with her Starmie in the pool said.
"Like, great, now, I have to like go to the Pokecenter!", the older girl walked off after recalling her
dewgong into her pokeball.
"Y'know, Starmie, even after 5 years, none of my sisters have changed a bit, I mean, I thought they would
atleast drop using "like" in almost every phrase!", she rested her chin on her hands which she had folded
over one side of the pool on the deck.
"Hicha", Starmie sounded like someone knowing not how to chortle.
"Oh, well, why don't we go and dry up? The steam bath is running again and right now, I'm well dressed
for it. Com'n!", she smiled and a strand of red hair tumbled in front of her eyes, then she turned and
started running towards the steam room while laughing and daring Starmie to catch her.
------

"Whew", she wiped her brow with her steam soaked towel. "Doesn't help much!"
"cha", Starmie nodded its index star bone.
"You know, I never thought that bathing suits could really get very wet, but now you can see!", she puffed
while pulling the chest part of her suit from clinging.

"Oh!", she looked up to see the steam dissapearing.

"Hiiiiiiiiccchhhhhaaah!", Starmie spun around and in a matter of 2.6 seconds there was no sign of steam.
"WhoA!", she exclaimed as she stood up and wrapped the dried out towel around her waist.
"Cha!", Starmie bounded out letting her come at her own time.
"Mmmm, this reminds of the time when we were in those hot springs!", she giggled at the recollection.
"I remeber it like it was yesterday...."

----
"Ya know, Brock, That funny hippie guy always talks in riddles, but you know, I like this service we're
getting right now!"
"Your Right Ash, these springs really do ease you and put you to relaxation, huh?"
Suddenly the rock wall seperating the guys spring from the females spring sank down.
"Huh, misty!"
"eEeek"
BONK! A bar of soap hit Ash in the forehead and knocked him into the spring.
"Oooh, hot, hot, uuuh!"

10 minutes later

"You know Misty, you didn't have to hit so hard!"
"Well you were looking into the girls springs"
"Tookee"
"You were in a bathing suit!"
"Still do you have no shame?"
"Peee"
"It wasn't me! IT was TOGEPI"
"Well.."
----

"....oh the memories! Anyway, I had always forgiven Ash, but then—"
"MIIIIIIISSSSTTTTTTTYYY"
"What?"
"We have to like get a move on, so like get out of that pointless suit and get ready!"
"Its called a bathing suit, but what would you know?"
"Whatever, just like get ready, like now!"
"Fine, Fine, I'm going!"
