Okay, here we go again

the next pokemon she caught was a charmander. it was a male, and bright orange.

"schrarrare" said the orange lizard. "yea. schare. whatever THAT means..."

Littlefire looked at his stomach. "RAREESCH!" "Oh, I see, you're hungry... okay, everyone, let's stop for a snack!" "pii" "Charesh" yururie" everyone agreed. Ari had decided to keep all her pokemon out of their pokeballs, unless it was really necisary. so they all sat down to eat the last of the berries. "I hope we reach Pewter soon. It's been a long trip. and we're all out of food now." At least now Ari knew where she was going. little did she know.... after everyone had had their food, they set of again. suddenly, Ari heard a loud crash."pi!" said Kiara, and pointed to the nearby trees. everyone went over to take a look. there was a small green car lying in the woods, on fire. there seemed to be someone in the car. "okay, everyone, we need to get that person out of there. Kira, you put out the flames. everyone else, help me lift this tree off the car!" so they set to work. Kira was nearly squished beneath the tree as it was rolled off the car, and Littlefire's tale nearly rekindled the whole thing. finaly, Ari was able to lift the person out of the car. he had first degree burns, and apparently a broken arm. but he was breathing, and nothing serious was wrong. Ari began trying to get the ashes off his face, when he woke up. "uuungh? wwhhhhaaaa? hey, why are you rubbing my face?!" he said. sitting up, he winced in pain. "ooowwww, my arm...." Ari was shocked suddenly. she knew him, she just knew it was him, but how...? "Keydin? is that... you?" "Ari...? where am I? why am I covered with ashes...? and... what the hell is with this cat floating around?" Kiki gave him one of her looks.... Ari thought hard. Keydin was a friend from her school... from her world... he was also 17, played the trumpet like she did, and had a job and car, wich explained the crash. "Keydin, how did you get here...? is that REALLY you...? gosh, it's so good to see a friendly face..." "well, I for one, would like to see a friendly DOCTOR." said Keydin flatley. then he noticed the pokemon "what is that yellow thing? and why is that lizard's tail on fire?" "Keydin, I'd like you to meet Kikira, Kiara, and Littlefire, my friends. Guys, this is Keydin." "I still wanna know why the big lizard's tail is on fire." said Keydin flatley. "listen, Keydin, we are a long way from home. also, we're a long way from anywhere, so we can't get you to a doctor right at the moment, you'll have to make due with a makeshift bandage..." "that doesn't explain why the lizard's tail is on fire" "WILL YOU STAY ON TOPIC?!" "... Sorry..." okay, now how did i just suddenly get into this mess?! thought Ari. I can't believe he doesnt at least recognize Kiara; Pikachu is the most famous pokemon of all in reality... Ari decided she would explain this to Keydin. however, she didn't get much of a chance.... "isn't that one of those pokey-mon thingies?" "Yeah, and it's pronounced 'poke-ay-mon', not pokey-mon. these are my buddies, they are a pikachu, a mew, and a charmander." "why is the lizard's tale on fire...?" "I DON'T KNOW! all i know is that if his tail fire goes out, he'll be in trouble, so don't try to put it out." meanwhile, Kikira was still working on putting out the last of the flames. she was using the only water move she knew, which was bubblebeam. 'What is that Mew thingy doing to my car?! giving it a bubble bath...?" "no, silly, Kikira's been putting out the flames, and she's allmost done. We've gotta be on our way to pewter city soon, anyhow...." Keydin looked confused. "did ya manage to get my trumpet out of the car?" "yea, it's stored in my capsule, right here." "what is a capsule? dont tell me its that little green thingy you're holding." Ari rolled her eyes. this could take a while...

later...

"so... we're in the pokemon world now...? and why the hell are you traveling with three of 'em?" "I'm a trainer now, Keydin... these little guys are my responsibility!" Explained Ari, for the millionth time. they were back on the road, and she could see pewter city in the distance. "i'm hungy, I'm tired, can we rest?" complained Keydin. again. "HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU THAT WE HAVE TO REACH PEWTER CITY BEFORE WE REST?!" Keydin gulped as everyone (not just kikira) gave him a look. It was late before they reached Pewter. they went into a resaraunt, and Ari ordered a two cheeseburger meal form McDonalds for her and her pokemon to split, she only had one dollar left after buying food, and she knew this would have to suffice. however, Keydin had other ideas. "why are you all sharing one meal?" Ari rolled her eyes. "becuase we dont have enough money for everyone to have their own." "I got cash" replied Keydin, smiling. he was finally going to earn their trust, and since he knew he wasn't going to get home any time soon, he knew they were all he had. he handed her a twenty. "there, that's twenty for you and a thirty for me. but I have a question, though, how do we get more money?" "we fight" Ari said simply. "we fight who?" "other trainers. the trainer who wins the battle recieves half of the other trainer's cash. only pokemon can fight, and ponly one at a time. if you want to join my friends and I, you'll need to catch some pokemon of your own." Keydin thought hard. this isn't happening... he thought. this is some crazy dream... he thought. "well, we're gonna need some more pokeballs, i only need 3 more, you should buy six." "why do I need six?" Ari sighed. Keydin had clearly never played any of the games before. "because thats how many pokemon are in a team. six. now, I'm going to go over to that PC and register my pokedex, its just lucky that team rocket hadn't registered this thing yet." Keydin gave her a blank look. he had no clue what or whom team rocket was, and he had a feeling he didnt want to know. wondering what else could possible happen, he absentmindedly picked at his bandage, a sort of sling made from Ari's white hamkercheif. Ari came back. "I need you to come over here with me. if we're traveling together, we'll both need to be registered." and so Keydin and Ari spent the next hour entering data about themselves into the computor. name: Arianna Grekle Keydin Dustka Age: 15 17 gender: female male Hair color: brown light brown Eye color: Green teal-blue height: 5'1" 5'6" birthdate: 11/15/95 3/22/93 status: beginner beginner badges: 0 0 etc, etc, etc, etc.... after everything else was done, the computor took a picture of the two of them together,(with keydins broken arm outsied of veiw), standing side by side and smiling like they were best friends (they aren't!), and downloaded all the information, and the photo, into the pokedex. well, anyhow, when all that was done with and the two of them had purchased pokeballs and more supplies (and berries!), Keydin and Ari went to the pokemon center to see if the nurse there could do anything about Keydin's arm. Ari was a little nervous that the nurse here would be the same as the nurse in the last center (like in the game and show) but was relieved to see that she wasn't... er... he wasn't. he had nice normal light brown hair and an earing. hey, he's kinda cute... thought Ari. she focused. this is not the time.. she thought.

"Hi, I know this is a pokemon center, but my friend here has been injured, and I was wondering if you could do something for him." He smiled (gawd, he's cute! thought Ari) "We're fully trained to deal with minor human injuries as well. hold on. chansey!" a pink pokemon came out of a door and did a sort of curtsey. "Chansey, see to it that this young man's arm is healed. Ms...? that will be 15 dollars." Keydin looked embarrased. thee was no way he wanted Ari to pay for him, he didn't want to be in her debt any more than he allready was. "no, that's all right, Ari, I can pay for myself." and with that, he let the chansey lead him into the next room. Keydin had no clue what was happening, as the chasey pulled a spongey looking egg-shaped thing out of the pouch on her belly and pressed it into the bandage. it disappeared, and the pain went away completely. chansey led him into a back room of the center. she pulled off the bandage and gave a hard yank on the bones. "YEOUW!!!" that had hurt quite a bit. then the chansey placed his arm carefully on a plain balck metal table. Keydin wasn't sure he trusted this strange, pink creature, but it seemed he didn't have a choice... she pushed a button on a console next to the table and the black table top glowed with an eerie light. and suddenly, Keydin's arm was just fine. Chansey led Keydin back out to the front desk, where he told Ari everything that had ahpened to him and payed the Nurse 15 dollars. between the two of them, they had 12 dollars left. "well, Keydin, I think it's time we battled someone." "who?" "the town gym leader" she said simply, and headed out of the pokemon center, leaving Keydin wondering absentmindedly what a gym leader was.



okay, that's all for now, folks! reviews, please!!!
