Gotta Catch A Bishonen!
By: Neko-chan
I want to be the very best,
Like no one ever was.
To catch them is my real test,
To train them is my cause.
I will travel across the land,
Searching far and wide.
Each Bishonen, to understand
The power that's inside.
Bishonen
It's you and me
I know it's my destiny
Bishonen
You're my best friend
In a world we must defend
Bishonen
A heart so true
Our courage will pull us through
You teach me and I'll teach you
Bishonen
Gotta catch 'em all
Bishonen!
Every challenge along the way
With courage I will face
I will battle every day
To claim my rightful place
Come with me the time is right
There's no better team
Arm and arm we'll win the fight
It's always been our dream
Chapter One
Two girls, one fifteen and the other fourteen, quietly walked across the tiled floor, headed for the large pedestal in front of them.
The two girls were sisters, though they did not look it. The younger one, Duet, was small for her age. She was about 5'0 and had light brown shoulder length hair and sparkling dark brown eyes. The taller one-the fifteen year old, Arashi, was about 5'7 ½, had elbow length red-orange hair, and she had gray eyes the color of storm clouds.
"We're too late, aren't we, Arashi?", Duet asked sorrowfully as she gazed down at the empty Bishonen balls.
"Yes, we are. All of the other Bishonen trainers have already gotten their Bishonens.", Arashi replied poking a Bishonen ball, making sure that it was empty.
She sighed when a Bishonen didn't come out. "Looks like we'll have to wait until next year to become Bishonen trainers.", she told Duet, avoiding her younger sister's eyes.
"NO!", Duet yelled vehemently, glaring down at the pedestal. "This year I'm finally old enough to become a Bishonen trainer!! It isn't fair, to you or me! You didn't become a Bishonen trainer last year, Arashi, because you promised me that we would train together! I swear that I'll become a Bishonen trainer, this year!" Suddenly, Duet seemed to deflate in hopelessness. "Somehow...", she murmured.
"Is anyone there?", a voice called from deep within the laboratory. Walking through the doorway, a woman in a lab coat appeared. She was about 42 or so, about 5'4, had dark purple hair and twinkling blue eyes, and a pair of glasses perched on her nose. Smiling, she said, "Hello, I'm Professor Lavender. May I help you?"
Duet looked up, surprised. When she saw Professor Lavender, and realized that she was the one in charge on the Bishonen trainers from Evergreen, she stepped forward; prepared to beg. "Yes, you might be able to help us!", she exclaimed. "My sister and I were delayed in getting to your Bishonen laboratory, so we got here late. Are all of the Bishonen that you offer beginner trainers gone?"
Professor Lavender bit her lip, looking apologetic. "Yes, I'm sorry dear. The Bishonen are gone."
Suddenly, Arashi spoke up. "Are you sure that all of the Bishonen are gone?"
Professor Lavender looked at Arashi sharply. "No, not all of them. Just the ones that I find easy to handle and give to beginning trainers."
Duet looked at Professor Lavender, silently begging her with her eyes. "Please, Professor Lavender, give us a Bishonen! My sister stayed home last year, when she could have been out training Bishonen, because I made her promise to wait another year, so that we could train together. Please, don't make her wait another year! We'll accept any Bishonen, difficult or not. Please give us a Bishonen!"
Sighing, Professor Lavender said, "Okay, okay. I'll give you each a Bishonen. But I warn you, they may be difficult to train, for I just captured them yesterday."
She began walking towards another door that lead deeper into the laboratory. Arashi and Duet followed, eager to begin their adventure.
"Here you go, Duet.", the Professor said as she gave Duet a Bisho-Ball. Turning to Arashi, she handed her a different Bisho-Ball. "And here you go, Arashi."
After she handed the two girls their Bisho-Balls, she then handed them each a Bishodex. It would tell them about the different Bishonen that the two girls would encounter on their journey.
Arashi and Duet quickly thanked Professor Lavender; then ran outside, eager to begin their new adventure.
* * *
"So, what Bishonen did you get?", Duet asked as she and Arashi walked down a dirt road.
There was nothing but thick forest surrounding them; they were completely alone.
"I don't know. You?", Arashi replied.
"Don't know either. Should we open them both on the count of three?", Duet asked Arashi, eager to see what Bishonen she got.
Okay!", Arashi exclaimed. "One...two....three!"
At the count of three, the two girls threw their Bisho-Balls.
"Bisho-Ball, go!", Duet yelled as she threw her ball.
"I chose you,.....whoever!", Arashi exclaimed as her ball flew from her hand.
A bright light surrounded the two balls; and out of Duet's ball Duo appeared. Duet squealed when she saw him.
"Duo!!", she exclaimed; running over and hugging him. "I love Duo!!!" Duo stood still for a moment, surprise written on his face, then grinned and hugged her back.
And out of Arashi's ball, Goku appeared.
Arashi, following Duet's example, ran over and hugged Goku. "Yes!", she exclaimed, burying her face in his orange shirt. "I was hoping I would get either Trunks or Goku. But since Long-Haired Mirai Trunks is the rarest Bishonen of all, I knew that I probably wouldn't get him. But at least I got Goku!"
Goku looked down at her, then he too, hugged her back. "It appears that you already know my name, but I don't know yours. What is it?", he asked.
Grinning up at him, Arashi said, "My name is Arashi, Goku. And I'm your new trainer! But don't worry, I don't like to order my Bishonen around, or treat them like dirt. I want to become friends with my Bishonen!"
"Me too!", Duet added, still hugging Duo; she still couldn't believe her good luck. She hoped that she would get a Duo, and she did!
Grinning down at Arashi, Goku said, "I want to become friends, too."
"Good.", Arashi replied.
"I want to become friends with you too, but I don't think I'll be able to if I die from lack of oxygen.", Duo said, grinning down at Duet.
Looking sheepish, Duet let him go. "Oops.", she said, smiling shyly at Duo. "I didn't mean to hug so hard. It's just that you're one of my favorite Bishonen! Oh, by the way, my name is Duet."
Duo smiled back. "It's nice to meet you, Duet."
* * *
"Please?", Arashi and Duet asked nicely for the hundredth time.
"No.", Goku and Duo stubbornly replied.
For the hundred and first time, Arashi and Duet asked, "Please, will you both please go into your Bisho-Balls?"
"No.", Goku and Duo answered.
Sighing, Duet put her head in her hands. "At least tell us why not."
In reply to her question, Duo took Duet's Bishodex from her and pointed it at himself and Goku.
/.It is very rare, but in some cases, Bishonen refuse to go into their Bisho-Balls./, the Bishodex started to explain. /.Goku and Duo are among the Bishonen who refuse to go into their Bisho-Balls. They claim that it is uncomfortable and that the Bisho-Ball is too small. Some Bishonen trainers ignore this and force them to go into their balls. Others let the Bishonen stay outside of their balls. It is up to the trainer or trainers to decide what to do./
Arashi sighed and looked at Goku. "Looks like you get to stay outside. I don't want to force you to go into your Bisho-Ball if you dislike it that much. I want to be your friend, not your master."
Duet took her head out of her hands and looked at Duo. "Ditto for you."
Goku and Duo looked at each other, surprised that Arashi and Duet hadn't forced them to go back into the Bisho-Balls. Then they turned back to the two girls. Grinning, they said, "Thank you!"
* * *
Two days later, the four companions were still wandering around in the forest. They were lost. And the sad part is....the two girls hadn't captured any new Bishonen.
Growling in frustration, Arashi kicked at a stone that was embedded in the path. "I knew we shouldn't have gone through this forest! I should've known that we would get lost! After all, we don't even have a map! We're lost!"
Duet sighed, and then sat on a large rock, thinking. "Well,", she began, grinning sheepishly, "I thought that this would be a shortcut!"
"Some shortcut.", Arashi snorted, glaring off into the distance.
Goku and Duo also stopped, glancing curiously at their new friends, wondering why they had stopped.
"Are we lost?", Goku asked Arashi.
"Yes.", Arashi answered him, glaring at her younger sister.
In reply, Duet stuck out her tongue.
Wanting to break up a fight before it happened, Goku suggested, "Well, if we are lost, I can fly up and see where the main road is. That way, once we find the path, we can go to the nearest town and rest for a couple of days." Suddenly, his stomach growled. Looking sheepish, Goku added, "And get some food. I'm hungry!"
Arashi smiled at Goku. "Now that's what I call a plan! But I'm coming with you when you fly up and scout for the road."
Shrugging, Goku said, "Sure."
"Alright! Let's go!", Arashi replied.
And, with that, Goku grabbed Arashi's waist and then flew up into the sky.
"Hey! Cool! I wish that I could fly!", Duo said, watching the Bishonen and his trainer get smaller and smaller as they got higher and higher.
Looking enviously up at her older sister, Duet said, "I wish that you could, too."
Meanwhile, up in the sky, Goku and Arashi were having trouble. Everything was going fine....until Arashi noticed something.
"Hey, Goku. Isn't that Android 17?", she asked as she pointed to a black dot that was quickly becoming bigger as it flew toward them.
Goku looked in the direction where she was pointing. "Nah.", he said, after a few moments study.
A few moments later, Android 17 stopped in front of them.
"So, that wasn't Android 17?", Arashi asked Goku sarcastically. "This bird sure looks like him, though!"
Looking sheepish, Goku said, "Ooops! I guess that I was wrong!"
Glaring at him, Arashi said, "Duh."
All the while, Android 17 watched them, an anime sweat drop forming by his head.
Ignoring Goku (for the time being, at least), Arashi asked Android 17, "So, are you Android 17, or Mirai Android 17?"
Looking puzzled, Android 17 replied, "I'm Android 17."
"So you aren't Mirai Android 17?", she asked.
"No.", he replied.
Goku watched this, becoming more and more puzzled.
Arashi sighed, then started muttering to herself. Because of Goku's Saiyan heritage, thus his enhanced hearing, he heard every word that she said. "Great, this is just great. Android 17 is stronger than Mirai Android 17. I haven't even had a chance to start training Goku!" Arashi, finally noticing that Goku was listening to her, asked, "Can you turn Super Saiyan, Goku?"
Goku shook his head, saying, "No. I haven't been able to reach that level yet."
Drawing their attention back to himself, Android 17 yelled, "Enough talking! Now it's time to fight!"
And with that, he transformed into.... Super Android 17.
Goku watched this, amazed at the amount of power that Super Android 17 possessed.
Arashi also watched the transformation. And, like Goku, she was able to sense Super Android 17's power; and also Goku's power. She compared the two power readings. It was then when she realized how puny Goku's power was compared to Super Android 17's. "Awww, crap."
