Episode 3: Lost and found
1 By Krissy Maxwell
"Nani…?" Krissy stared down at the Chibi in front of her. The little black- haired Bishonen with the adorable black eyes, smiled up at the surprised, elfin trainer.
"Hi." It said, waving up at her. The Chibi began to fiddle with his blue shirt when the girl didn't respond.
"Krissy-chan, you alright?" Duo asked, waving a hand in front of her face as she stared blankly at the tiny Gohan.
When Duo and Krissy had set up camp, they settled in and ate a good dinner. Well, as good of a dinner as could be for a glutinous trainer and her ever- hungry Maxwell Bishonen. Krissy was ecstatic about her new catch and she decided to bring out the gorgeous half Saiya-jin. She pulled out his bishie- ball, dropped it and waited with bright eyes to see her new bishie.
The light from the bishie-ball faded and there stood her Saiya-jin. He wore a dark blue shirt and sweatpants and had wild, black hair and……was only a foot tall.
"Nani?" Krissy repeated, blinking her eyes. "He's still a Chibi."
"So what?" Duo asked her.
"Well, when you came out of your ball, you had already evolved." Krissy said. "I just thought that Gohan would have evolved too."
"You no like me?" The little Gohan squeaked with a frown on his face. His eyes began to water and he sniffled, wiping his nose with the back of his hand.
Krissy's eyes grew sappy as she turned to mush at the sight of his face. "Aww…Kawaii! Of coarse I like you. You cute, little thing." She squealed, immediately scooping Gohan up in her arms and hugging him like a teddy bear. Chibis have that effect; especially on girls. They're just too cute. Krissy giggled when Gohan hugged her back and nuzzled up to her face. "Forget about evolving. You're so cute! I love you just the way you are, yes I do." She cooed in a really childish, genki voice, squeezing the Chibi.
Duo sweatdropped and uncovered his ears. "Oh boy…"
"What…" Krissy asked innocently, kissing Gohan's head and putting him back down. "I can always wait for him to evolve. Look how cute he is." She said, pointing at Gohan who was trying to open her backpack. She crawled over to the bishie and poked him. "What are ya up to, kiddo?"
"I'm hungry." He squeaked, smiling.
"Kawaii!" Krissy said, hugging the Chibi again. "I'll get you something to eat."
"Krissy, you're beginning to scare me." Duo joked, watching Krissy feed the Chibi cereal bar, after cereal bar…after cereal bar. "Well, I'll get a fire going." He said, walking over to the small pile of logs in front of them.
When he got a fire started, he walked back over to his trainer who was unrolling her sleeping bag with Gohan's help. "I'm so tired." Krissy said, unzipping the bag and placing Gohan in the warm blankets, then crawling in next to him. "Duo, you coming?" She turned around, looking over at Duo.
"Yup." Duo smiled and stretched out as he headed over to his trainer. He climbed in next to Krissy and rested his head against the pillow, letting out a tired sigh and taking in the warmth of the fire. Duo watched out of the corner of his eye as Gohan slowly fell asleep on Krissy's chest, curling his tiny fingers in to a lock of her silky, pink hair and Krissy's lips forming into a smile.
She placed a hand on Gohan's back and yawned, softly. "Night, Duo." She whispered.
"G'night, Krissy."
~~~}~@ @~{~~~
Duo could barely breathe. He tried to move, but it was like there was an anvil resting on his chest. He opened his eyes in a panic and noticed that Krissy was still sleeping, but that squirt, Gohan, was nowhere to be found. He took in a deep breath and lifted his head.
"WAAAAHHH!!"
Krissy bolted up right and turned to Duo. "Duo, what's-" She paused, her eyes going wide.
"Krissy, what the hell happened?!" Duo screamed, pointing at the still sleeping figure that was lying on him. Gohan was snoring peacefully, nuzzling his head into Duo's shirt, but he looked a little different then he had the night before.
"Oh my god…Gohan evolved in his sleep." Krissy couldn't believe it. There, still asleep on Duo, was her Gohan, but he was no longer a Chibi. He was the evolved, seven year old Gohan. "Wow, this is so cool!"
"Well, maybe it would be cooler if he wasn't cutting off my air supply." Duo groaned, trying to push the newly evolved bishie off of him. Krissy laughed and helped to push Gohan back into the sleeping bag and off of Duo. Duo sat up and took in a long, deep breath, then sighing in relief.
Krissy giggled and shook Gohan lightly, trying to wake him up. Gohan cracked open an eye.
"Mm…Morning Krissy." He mumbled, covering his mouth with his hand as he yawned. His eyes then shot open and he sat upright. "What?" He said to himself, listening to the sound of his new, lower voice. He looked up at Krissy who was smiling madly and then back at himself. "What happened to me, Krissy?" He asked, holding his hands in front of him.
Krissy took his hands in hers and replied happily, "Gohan, you evolved in your sleep."
He blinked back at her. "I did? Wow…cool."
Duo stood up and grabbed a cereal bar from Krissy's backpack. "They all seem to say that." He snorted. Krissy laughed.
"What's wrong with him?" Gohan asked, pointing at the muttering bish.
"Oh, you rolled on top of him during the night and scared him to death."
Gohan bit his lower lip, looking over at Duo sheepishly. "Hey, gomen ne, Duo. I didn't mean to."
The braided bish just smiled, shaking his head and pulling out another bar. "Don't worry about it, kid." He said, tossing Gohan his breakfast. Gohan caught it in one hand and ripped it open, taking a bite. "But since you're bigger now, you gotta sleep in your own sleeping bag, alright?" Duo chuckled, sitting back down and ruffling up Gohan's hair.
Gohan laughed back. "Sure, Duo,"
"Hey, don't I get anything to eat." Krissy joked, watching her Bishonen eat happily. Her stomach started to growl and Duo smirked, pulling an apple out of his pocket. "Sneaky…" She giggled, grabbing the apple and biting into it.
"So we still going to that something or other town?" Duo asked, resting back on his elbows.
Krissy nodded her head, wiping a bit of the juice from the apple off her bottom lip. "Uh huh. I've gotta get some supplies and it would be really nice to have a real meal."
"Okay." Duo said, thoughtfully. "Do you want me to pack up?"
The young trainer smiled, nodding again. "Sure. Gohan, would you help him?" She asked.
Gohan was more than happy to help. He jumped to his feet and ran over to help Duo who was now busy stuffing random objects into Krissy's backpack.
Krissy watched the two Bishonen work and got up, looking around the small clearing. There was a slight chill in the air and the morning breeze whipped through the leaves of the tall trees. Krissy stood there, staring up at the large oaks and thought to herself. 'I wonder if there will be any Bishonen along the way. I mean, there don't seem to be any around here. Maybe it's too cold.' She shrugged and rubbed her shoulders.
"Krissy, we're all set!" Duo called, bringing her out of her odd train of thought. Krissy looked over at Duo and then at Gohan who was finishing stuffing her sleeping bag into her travel-pack.
"Alright, I'm coming." She said, slipping her arms into the sleeves of her trench coat. Krissy picked up her bag on the way over to her bishies and started walking further into the woods, along the path to Scarlet town; Duo and Gohan following right behind her.
~~~}~@ @~{~~~
It was midday and Krissy was ecstatic. Bryanna's directions were right on the mark. After walking for what seemed like miles in the woods, the three came to the edge of the forest and found the dirt road leading to Scarlet town. "I thought we'd never get out of there." Krissy beamed, strolling down the road.
"I dunno, Krissy-chan. It was so peaceful in the forest." Gohan said, walking next to his trainer.
Krissy shook her head and put a hand on the boy's shoulder. "It was isolated, Gohan. Not peaceful." She said almost disdainfully, looking ahead of them. "Trust me, now we'll get back to civilization and people and shopping!" She squealed, bouncing happily, ignoring the sweatdrops rolling down her bishies' heads.
"She's scary." Gohan whispered to the taller bish.
Duo nodded slowly, giving his oblivious trainer an odd look. "No…She's a girl." He mumbled. Suddenly…WHACK.
Duo rubbed the bump on his head as Krissy continued to walk down the path, putting the baseball bat back in her bag over her shoulder. "Where'd she get that?" Duo winced. Gohan just shrugged and ran to catch up with the smirking, elfin girl.
"Come on, Duo!" Krissy said, still heading down the road. Duo shook his head clear and obediently followed.
As they plodded along the road, a large sign appeared ahead of them with black letters painted on it. "A road map!" Krissy yelled, running up to the sign. "Hey guys, I think we're over here." She said, pointing to a red dot about five miles outside of a town area.
"So does that mean we're close to Scarlet town?" Gohan asked.
"I guess so." Krissy grinned from ear to ear. She whirled around and took off giggling, only to run straight into a tall figure with dark brown, spiky hair, wearing a green vest over his bright orange shirt. "Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to bump into you." She apologized from her new seat on the ground. Krissy looked up at the guy she ran into and her mouth dropped. "No way…you-you're a Brock, aren't you?" She stammered, jumping to her feet and stumbling backwards.
The now definite Bishonen's eyes bulged out and his mouth dropped, mirroring Krissy's reaction. "Wow, a good looking girl like you actually knows my name!" He exclaimed, then suddenly turning and looking up to the sky. "This is a great day for this simple man." He beamed dramatically with sparkling eyes.
The other three sweatdropped. Krissy shook her head, regaining her train of thought and clapped her hands like she made up her mind. "Alright, I'm gonna catch me a Bishonen!" She said, proudly. "Duo? Can you take care of this?" She asked, looking over her shoulder.
Duo cracked his knuckles and made a fist, grinning. "Sure thing, Krissy." He smirked. Duo made his way over to Brock who was still zoned out and tapped him on the back. "Come on, man. Let's go." He said with a low growl as the urge to battle began to build within him.
Brock blinked back at him, obviously confused. "Go where?"
Duo sighed, exasperatedly. "Man, you've gotta be kidding me. Look," He said, eyeing Brock. "My trainer over there wants to catch you and I'm gonna make sure she gets you."
'Duo…' Krissy suddenly blushed, diverting her eyes as Duo continued to stare intently at Brock.
"So let's rumble." Duo held up his fist, ready to take a swing at the pokemon breeder when a sudden gust of wind and dust flew passed him, making his braid flap around in the wind. He blinked again when he realized he was now talking to himself.
Krissy jumped as Brock appeared, standing right in front of her and clasping her hands in his own. "You can train me any day." Brock purred.
Krissy cheered as she immediately hugged her new catch and Brock grinned like an idiot. "Alright, I got Brock!" She exclaimed as Brock turned an even darker shade of red, still holding Krissy around the waist.
Duo facefell. "Oh man, that's not fair. He didn't even put up a fight." He moaned, kicking the dirt as he dragged himself back over to his trainer.
"Aw, it's okay, Duo." Krissy said sympathetically, pulling another bishie- ball off of her belt and enlarging it. "And now to finalize it." With her cheery announcement, she bopped Brock on the head with the ball and he disappeared. The ball turned brown and green and Krissy smiled, dropping the bishie-ball to release her new catch. It snapped open on the ground and Brock instantly reappeared.
"How come you're not keeping me in the ball?" Brock asked when he realized he wasn't still stuck in that cramped, uncomfortable excuse for a ball.
Krissy hooked her arm around his and replied, "You don't need to stay in the ball, Brock. You're gonna stay right out here with me." Brock definitely wasn't going to complain. He didn't really like the idea of being stuck in a bishie-ball for a long time and he was overjoyed that he'd be wondering around with his new, really cute trainer. Even if there still were two other Bishonen around. "So Brock. Meet your traveling buddies." She giggled. "This is Duo and Gohan." She said, pointing at the two bishies behind her. "And I'm Krissy, your new trainer."
"Wow, even your name is beautiful." Brock said dreamily, taking Krissy's hands.
Duo rolled his eyes, feeling slightly disturbed as he watched his trainer squeal with her hands pressed to her cheeks at Brock's compliment. Maybe even with a hint of jealousy, but he immediately pushed that thought aside. He cleared his throat. "Okay you two. We better keep moving."
"That's right." Krissy said, remembering that she wanted to reach their destination by nightfall. A light bulb suddenly appeared above her head when she got a great idea, a smirk running across her face. "Hey Brock, do you know if there are any Bishonen around here?"
Brock thought for a moment, resting his chin on his fist. "Yeah, I did. I was actually trying to get away from that annoying team rocket when I bumped into you. I hate that stupid motto of theirs." He cringed.
Krissy's eyes began to sparkle and she bounced happily from one foot to the other. "That means I can get James!" She then grabbed on to Brock's arm and began tugging him down the road. "Come on, Brock. We're gonna catch that James." She yelled in a giddy voice, ignoring Brock's pleas for her to slow down and forgetting the other two bishies still lingering behind.
~~~}~@ @~{~~~
Krissy's head popped out from behind a tree with a mischievous grin on her face; Brock sticking his head out on the other side of the tree. "They had to have been around here somewhere, right?" Krissy whispered to Brock, her eyes darting around to scout around the area.
"I think so." Brock whispered back. He looked left and then slowly turned his head to the right. "Maybe if we go this way." He said, taking Krissy's hand. The two started tip toeing out from behind the tree and then ran quickly into some bushes. Warily peaking her head out, Krissy and Brock again tip toed out of the bushes and ran behind another tree.
Duo sighed heavily, shoving his hands into his pockets and kicking a rock out of his way. He'd been watching Krissy and Brock play detective for almost an hour now, and they were nowhere close to finding that James. Duo was glad to help Krissy find that bish that she was so intent on getting, but it was getting boring and Krissy's genki smile was beginning to waver. 'I gotta find that guy fast.' He decided, making his way closer to the others. "Now if I were a whiny, blue-haired Bishonen, where would I be." Duo joked to himself, pushing a branch of a tree out of his way.
As if almost on cue, there came a soft, "Prepare for trouble!"
Krissy's sensitive elfin ears suddenly perked up, picking up what sounded like the beginning of the Team Rocket motto. "Hey did you guys heat that?" Krissy asked, pulling on Brock's sleeve.
Brock and Duo stopped short and listened carefully and soon there was a faint, "And make it double!"
"That's them alright." Brock groaned, dropping his head in his hand. "I can't stand listening to that. Krissy, do we have to…Krissy?" He had reached out to grab Krissy's hand, but instead he just got air. Brock whirled around and searched for his trainer, but she was no where in sight.
"Brock, where's Krissy?" Duo asked, running up to the spiky-haired Bishonen. Brock shrugged, the look of shock on his face.
Suddenly, they heard what sounded like, "Bishie-ball, go!"
"What are you doing?! Get away from him!"
"Why you!" That last shout was obviously Krissy, but Duo didn't recognize the other female voice. Duo sighed, motioning for Gohan to check it out and Gohan nodded back, springing into a tree and taking off to find their trainer. Duo turned to Brock and the two Bishonen started heading towards the loud noise they heard coming from the distance.
When the noise seemed like it was right around the corner, Duo found Gohan starring wide eyed into the distance. Wondering what the kid was starring at, he looked ahead of them and then facefaulted.
"How dare you try to capture my partner, you little hussy!"
"I'm a Bishonen trainer. I'm suppose to catch him!"
"Oh no you don't!"
"Oh yes I do!" and there was Krissy, who was currently in the middle of a cat fight with the apparent Jessie Bishoujo of Team Rocket. Krissy's Bishonen watched as their trainer rolled around on the ground with the red- haired Bishoujo, trying to pull her hair to get the Rocket to let go of her trench coat; dust being kicked up around them as they fought. With a bit of a long struggle and a few choice Japanese words, Krissy managed to peel Jessie off of her and jumped to her feet…only to fall flat on her face when the Bishoujo grabbed her leg and pulled. "Would you let go?!" Krissy yelled, trying to kick her off, Jessie holding on for dear life.
The three Bishonen sweatdropped, Brock and Gohan continuing to watch the ugly fight between the violent Bishoujo and crazed Bishonen trainer, but Duo began to wonder where the bish in question was. He looked up and there the guy was. James was hiding up in a tree, his arms and legs tightly clamped around a large branch and his face looking terrified. Duo sighed, 'Wimp…'.
There was a sudden loud thud. Duo nervously turned his head back to where the fight was, wondering if Krissy got pummeled or not, but his mouth dropped, starring at Krissy who was standing there smiling, flashing the V sign and her foot resting on the unconscious Bishoujo's back.
"Yeah, Krissy! You showed her." Gohan cheered, running up to his trainer and jumping into her arms. She laughed, ruffling his hair and turning to Duo.
"Well, that was fun." She smirked, dusting herself off and clapping her hands, getting rid of any extra dirt.
He sighed as he approached the elfin girl. "You alright?" He asked in concern.
Krissy smiled back, nodding to him. "I'm fine, Duo. Now to take care of business." She rubbed her hands together, stepping over Jessie who was still out cold and walking up to the tree James was clinging to. She rested a hand against the tree, grinning up at James. "James, you wanna come down from there?"
James shook his head no and shut his eyes. "Jessie, save me!" He whined.
Krissy sighed, knowing what she had to do. "Gohan?"
The boy jumped high in the air and landed gracefully in the tree next to James. He poked the blue-haired Rocket and James jumped in surprise, falling out of the tree and landing on his head. "Jessie, help…" He murmured before he slumped over on the ground.
"Arigato, Gohan." Krissy called up to the half Saiya-jin, she then turned back to the whimpering Bishonen in front of her. "Aw, it's okay James. Here, have a doughnut." She said, pulling a sprinkled doughnut from her pocket. James's eyes lit up at the sight of the pastry and grabbed in, devouring it almost as fast as he took it. While he was munching away, Krissy took the opportunity to bop James with a bishie-ball and he dematerialized into the ball. "That was easy." Krissy remarked, putting the ball with James in it on her belt.
"Where'd you get the doughnuts, Krissy?" Duo asked.
Krissy giggled and pulled what looked like a blue lunch box out of her bag. "It's part of the official 'How to Catch James Kit'." She beamed. The bishies all facefaulted.
Holding up her Bishonen-dex, Krissy pushed a button and waited for the dex to speak. // This kit is meant for the more serious of trainers. Since James can be hard to catch because they depend solely on the Jessie Bishoujo they travel with who can be quite violent, a kit was created…\\
Krissy let the dex trail off, noticing that her Bishonen were all starring at her awkwardly. She smiled nervously and tossed the box over her shoulder. "Anyway, now that I've got James, let's get back to the road." Her Bishonen all nodded, walking behind their smiling trainer.
~~~}~@ @~{~~~
Night was closing in and the group of trainer and bish still had a ways to go before they made in to the next town. Krissy yawned as she slowly trudged down the path, leaning against Duo to try and stay awake.
"Krissy, you look tired. "Duo said softly, stating the obvious and wrapping an arm around Krissy's waist to support her. Krissy just nodded absently and yawned again, pushing a few renegade strands of hair away from her face. Without a word, Duo carefully scooped Krissy up into his arms and began to carry her as they continued to walk. He smiled, noting that she was surprisingly light and he almost really enjoyed the way she wrapped her arm around his neck.
Krissy closed her eyes, pulling Duo a bit closer and let out a tired sigh. "Duo, you don't have to do this." She whispered.
Duo shook his head. "Ya had a long day, babe. Don't worry." Krissy smiled and didn't say anymore. Behind them, Gohan and Brock exchanged knowing glances; Brock also looking a bit jealous of Duo, and the two silently followed Duo and the now sleeping girl, hoping to reach Scarlet town and rest before the day was over.

"So what?" Duo asked her.
"Well, when you came out of your ball, you had already evolved." Krissy said. "I just thought that Gohan would have evolved too."
"You no like me?" The little Gohan squeaked with a frown on his face. His eyes began to water and he sniffled, wiping his nose with the back of his hand.
Krissy's eyes grew sappy as she turned to mush at the sight of his face. "Aww…Kawaii! Of coarse I like you. You cute, little thing." She squealed, immediately scooping Gohan up in her arms and hugging him like a teddy bear. Chibis have that effect; especially on girls. They're just too cute.

Duo chuckled, sitting back down and ruffling up Gohan's hair.
Gohan laughed back. "Sure, Duo,"
"Hey, don't I get anything to eat." Krissy joked, watching her Bishonen eat happily. Her stomach started to growl and Duo smirked, pulling an apple out of his pocket. "Sneaky…" She giggled, grabbing the apple and biting into it.
"So we still going to that something or other town?" Duo asked, resting back on his elbows.
Krissy nodded her head, wiping a bit of the juice from the apple off her bottom lip. "Uh huh. I've gotta get some supplies and it would be really nice to have a real meal."
"Okay." Duo said, thoughtfully. "Do you want me to pack up?"

As they plodded along the road, a large sign appeared ahead of them with black letters painted on it. "A road map!" Krissy yelled, running up to the sign. "Hey guys, I think we're over here." She said, pointing to a red dot about five miles outside of a town area.
"So does that mean we're close to Scarlet town?" Gohan asked.
"I guess so." Krissy grinned from ear to ear. She whirled around and took off giggling, only to run straight into a tall figure with dark brown, spiky hair, wearing a green vest over his bright orange shirt. "Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to bump into you." She apologized from her new seat on the ground. Krissy looked up at the guy she ran into and her mouth dropped. "No way…you-you're a Brock, aren't you?" She stammered, jumping to her feet and stumbling backwards.
The now definite Bishonen's eyes bulged out and his mouth dropped, mirroring Krissy's reaction. "Wow, a good looking girl like you actually knows my name!" He exclaimed, then suddenly turning and looking up to the sky. "This is a great day for this simple man." He beamed dramatically with sparkling eyes.
The other three sweatdropped. Krissy shook her head, regaining her train of thought and clapped her hands like she made up her mind. "Alright, I'm gonna catch me a Bishonen!" She said, proudly. "Duo? Can you take care of this?" She asked, looking over her shoulder.
Duo cracked his knuckles and made a fist, grinning. "Sure thing, Krissy." He smirked. Duo made his way over to Brock who was still zoned out and tapped him on the back. "Come on, man. Let's go." He said with a low growl as the urge to battle began to build within him.
Brock blinked back at him, obviously confused. "Go where?"
Duo sighed, exasperatedly. "Man, you've gotta be kidding me. Look," He said, eyeing Brock. "My trainer over there wants to catch you and I'm gonna make sure she gets you."
'Duo…' Krissy suddenly blushed, diverting her eyes as Duo continued to stare intently at Brock.
"So let's rumble." Duo held up his fist, ready to take a swing at the pokemon breeder when a sudden gust of wind and dust flew passed him, making his braid flap around in the wind. He blinked again when he realized he was now talking to himself.
Krissy jumped as Brock appeared, standing right in front of her and clasping her hands in his own. "You can train me any day." Brock purred.
Krissy cheered as she immediately hugged her new catch and Brock grinned like an idiot. "Alright, I got Brock!" She exclaimed as Brock turned an even darker shade of red, still holding Krissy around the waist.
Duo facefell. "Oh man, that's not fair. He didn't even put up a fight." He moaned, kicking the dirt as he dragged himself back over to his trainer.
"Aw, it's okay, Duo." Krissy said sympathetically, pulling another bishie- ball off of her belt and enlarging it. "And now to finalize it." With her cheery announcement, she bopped Brock on the head with the ball and he disappeared. The ball turned brown and green and Krissy smiled, dropping the bishie-ball to release her new catch. It snapped open on the ground and Brock instantly reappeared.
"How come you're not keeping me in the ball?" Brock asked when he realized he wasn't still stuck in that cramped, uncomfortable excuse for a ball.
Krissy hooked her arm around his and replied, "You don't need to stay in the ball, Brock. You're gonna stay right out here with me." Brock definitely wasn't going to complain. He didn't really like the idea of being stuck in a bishie-ball for a long time and he was overjoyed that he'd be wondering around with his new, really cute trainer. Even if there still were two other Bishonen around. "So Brock. Meet your traveling buddies." She giggled. "This is Duo and Gohan." She said, pointing at the two bishies behind her. "And I'm Krissy, your new trainer."
"Wow, even your name is beautiful." Brock said dreamily, taking Krissy's hands.
Duo rolled his eyes, feeling slightly disturbed as he watched his trainer squeal with her hands pressed to her cheeks at Brock's compliment. Maybe even with a hint of jealousy, but he immediately pushed that thought aside. He cleared his throat. "Okay you two. We better keep moving."
"That's right." Krissy said, remembering that she wanted to reach their destination by nightfall. A light bulb suddenly appeared above her head when she got a great idea, a smirk running across her face. "Hey Brock, do you know if there are any Bishonen around here?"
Brock thought for a moment, resting his chin on his fist. "Yeah, I did. I was actually trying to get away from that annoying team rocket when I bumped into you. I hate that stupid motto of theirs." He cringed.
Krissy's eyes began to sparkle and she bounced happily from one foot to the other. "That means I can get James!" She then grabbed on to Brock's arm and began tugging him down the road. "Come on, Brock. We're gonna catch that James." She yelled in a giddy voice, ignoring Brock's pleas for her to slow down and forgetting the other two bishies still lingering behind.
~~~}~@ @~{~~~
Krissy's head popped out from behind a tree with a mischievous grin on her face; Brock sticking his head out on the other side of the tree. "They had to have been around here somewhere, right?" Krissy whispered to Brock, her eyes darting around to scout around the area.
"I think so." Brock whispered back. He looked left and then slowly turned his head to the right. "Maybe if we go this way." He said, taking Krissy's hand. The two started tip toeing out from behind the tree and then ran quickly into some bushes. Warily peaking her head out, Krissy and Brock again tip toed out of the bushes and ran behind another tree.
Duo sighed heavily, shoving his hands into his pockets and kicking a rock out of his way. He'd been watching Krissy and Brock play detective for almost an hour now, and they were nowhere close to finding that James. Duo was glad to help Krissy find that bish that she was so intent on getting, but it was getting boring and Krissy's genki smile was beginning to waver. 'I gotta find that guy fast.' He decided, making his way closer to the others. "Now if I were a whiny, blue-haired Bishonen, where would I be." Duo joked to himself, pushing a branch of a tree out of his way.
As if almost on cue, there came a soft, "Prepare for trouble!"
Krissy's sensitive elfin ears suddenly perked up, picking up what sounded like the beginning of the Team Rocket motto. "Hey did you guys heat that?" Krissy asked, pulling on Brock's sleeve.
Brock and Duo stopped short and listened carefully and soon there was a faint, "And make it double!"
"That's them alright." Brock groaned, dropping his head in his hand. "I can't stand listening to that. Krissy, do we have to…Krissy?" He had reached out to grab Krissy's hand, but instead he just got air. Brock whirled around and searched for his trainer, but she was no where in sight.
"Brock, where's Krissy?" Duo asked, running up to the spiky-haired Bishonen. Brock shrugged, the look of shock on his face.
Suddenly, they heard what sounded like, "Bishie-ball, go!"
"What are you doing?! Get away from him!"
"Why you!" That last shout was obviously Krissy, but Duo didn't recognize the other female voice. Duo sighed, motioning for Gohan to check it out and Gohan nodded back, springing into a tree and taking off to find their trainer. Duo turned to Brock and the two Bishonen started heading towards the loud noise they heard coming from the distance.
When the noise seemed like it was right around the corner, Duo found Gohan starring wide eyed into the distance. Wondering what the kid was starring at, he looked ahead of them and then facefaulted.
"How dare you try to capture my partner, you little hussy!"
"I'm a Bishonen trainer. I'm suppose to catch him!"
"Oh no you don't!"
"Oh yes I do!" and there was Krissy, who was currently in the middle of a cat fight with the apparent Jessie Bishoujo of Team Rocket. Krissy's Bishonen watched as their trainer rolled around on the ground with the red- haired Bishoujo, trying to pull her hair to get the Rocket to let go of her trench coat; dust being kicked up around them as they fought. With a bit of a long struggle and a few choice Japanese words, Krissy managed to peel Jessie off of her and jumped to her feet…only to fall flat on her face when the Bishoujo grabbed her leg and pulled. "Would you let go?!" Krissy yelled, trying to kick her off, Jessie holding on for dear life.
The three Bishonen sweatdropped, Brock and Gohan continuing to watch the ugly fight between the violent Bishoujo and crazed Bishonen trainer, but Duo began to wonder where the bish in question was. He looked up and there the guy was. James was hiding up in a tree, his arms and legs tightly clamped around a large branch and his face looking terrified. Duo sighed, 'Wimp…'.
There was a sudden loud thud. Duo nervously turned his head back to where the fight was, wondering if Krissy got pummeled or not, but his mouth dropped, starring at Krissy who was standing there smiling, flashing the V sign and her foot resting on the unconscious Bishoujo's back.
"Yeah, Krissy! You showed her." Gohan cheered, running up to his trainer and jumping into her arms. She laughed, ruffling his hair and turning to Duo.
"Well, that was fun." She smirked, dusting herself off and clapping her hands, getting rid of any extra dirt.
He sighed as he approached the elfin girl. "You alright?" He asked in concern.
Krissy smiled back, nodding to him. "I'm fine, Duo. Now to take care of business." She rubbed her hands together, stepping over Jessie who was still out cold and walking up to the tree James was clinging to. She rested a hand against the tree, grinning up at James. "James, you wanna come down from there?"
James shook his head no and shut his eyes. "Jessie, save me!" He whined.
Krissy sighed, knowing what she had to do. "Gohan?"
The boy jumped high in the air and landed gracefully in the tree next to James. He poked the blue-haired Rocket and James jumped in surprise, falling out of the tree and landing on his head. "Jessie, help…" He murmured before he slumped over on the ground.
"Arigato, Gohan." Krissy called up to the half Saiya-jin, she then turned back to the whimpering Bishonen in front of her. "Aw, it's okay James. Here, have a doughnut." She said, pulling a sprinkled doughnut from her pocket. James's eyes lit up at the sight of the pastry and grabbed in, devouring it almost as fast as he took it. While he was munching away, Krissy took the opportunity to bop James with a bishie-ball and he dematerialized into the ball. "That was easy." Krissy remarked, putting the ball with James in it on her belt.
"Where'd you get the doughnuts, Krissy?" Duo asked.
Krissy giggled and pulled what looked like a blue lunch box out of her bag. "It's part of the official 'How to Catch James Kit'." She beamed. The bishies all facefaulted.
Holding up her Bishonen-dex, Krissy pushed a button and waited for the dex to speak. // This kit is meant for the more serious of trainers. Since James can be hard to catch because they depend solely on the Jessie Bishoujo they travel with who can be quite violent, a kit was created…\\
Krissy let the dex trail off, noticing that her Bishonen were all starring at her awkwardly. She smiled nervously and tossed the box over her shoulder. "Anyway, now that I've got James, let's get back to the road." Her Bishonen all nodded, walking behind their smiling trainer.
~~~}~@ @~{~~~
Night was closing in and the group of trainer and bish still had a ways to go before they made in to the next town. Krissy yawned as she slowly trudged down the path, leaning against Duo to try and stay awake.
"Krissy, you look tired. "Duo said softly, stating the obvious and wrapping an arm around Krissy's waist to support her. Krissy just nodded absently and yawned again, pushing a few renegade strands of hair away from her face. Without a word, Duo carefully scooped Krissy up into his arms and began to carry her as they continued to walk. He smiled, noting that she was surprisingly light and he almost really enjoyed the way she wrapped her arm around his neck.
Krissy closed her eyes, pulling Duo a bit closer and let out a tired sigh. "Duo, you don't have to do this." She whispered.
Duo shook his head. "Ya had a long day, babe. Don't worry." Krissy smiled and didn't say anymore. Behind them, Gohan and Brock exchanged knowing glances; Brock also looking a bit jealous of Duo, and the two silently followed Duo and the now sleeping girl, hoping to reach Scarlet town and rest before the day was over.
