The sound of a rooster woke up Dominic Jenkins from a deep sleep, confused,
annoyed, and realizing that the jail thing wasn't a dream. Looking around
he saw Cara on her back, still asleep. Damn. Even in jail nothing could
wake her up.
Immediately Dominic felt for his belt, which, to his relief, was still attached to him. His electrike was okay, or at least he hoped it was.
He walked over to the barred window and looked out. Mauville City looked extremely different than it had the previous night - the building were no longer white from the glow of the moon, the alleyways were bright, and the streets were filled with people. Aside from the pokecenter and gym, Dominic noticed, all the building were made of yellow brick and had purple roofs. An odd combination, yes, but it matched the town's theme of electricity. Dominic remembered reading a book called 'Gym Leaders of the World', in which he recalled the leader of Mauville Gym - Wattson - a very talented trainer who specialized in electric pokemon. His electrike was this type - he would fit in perfectly. If ONLY they could get out of jail -
"Wahoo!" Dominic quickly turned around to see Cara sitting up. She was in her normal hyper morning mode. "Hey Dom, buddy, wasn't that WEIRD last night? I mean, who would have thought we were TRESPASSING! So, thought of how we could get out of here?" She pulled her shoulder-length hair back into her usual ponytail and stood up.
"Cara, I don't know how long we'll be in here! Stupid French guy! You would think he would have at least given us some fries," said Dominic, walking over to where Cara was standing.
"Or fondue!"
"Or fondue," said Dominic, thinking, "Damnit I need to go to the bathroom!"
"You and me both, Dom" she said, doing a funky little dance, "Go surskit!" Dominic was surprised by the sudden yell. Cara had thrown down her pokeball and her surskit had come out.
"Sursk!"
"Hey surskit, whats up?" Dominic asked. The small blue spider scrambled up and down the sides of the jail cell. It was a very small cell, Dom now noticed, only big enough for him and Cara. It had the single window that Dom had been looking out of, a bench, and that was it.
"Sursk!"
"We needed a little company," said Cara, smiling.
Dom looked at her, unable to listen. He was in thinking mode. "Cara, I have an idea."
"What, Dom?"
"Surskit is a water type, right?"
"Yea,"
"And, electrike is electric type,"
"Yea,"
"Cara, don't you get it?"
"No,"
"You can have surskit shoot water onto the window. Then, I can have electrike electrocute the water. Water conducts electricity - maybe the blast could blow the bars off."
"Oh, Dom, that's the smartest thing you've thought of in a month!" said Cara. Dom looked at her and she said, "Right - er - surskit, water gun the window!"
Surskit hopped off the wall, opened his mouth, and shot out water onto the window.
"Go, Zap!" Dominic threw down his pokeball and his electrike appeared. The small dog had a green body and yellow streaks on his head. If Dominic hadn't known that Zap was tame, he would have been very intimidated. "Alright, Zappy, thunderbolt that window!" The electrike's body glowed a shade of neon green and suddenly burst into lightning bolts that flew towards the window.
On the moment of impact, Dominic shielded his eyes from the blinding light. A few moments later, the smoke had cleared and - to Dominic's extreme pleasure - the bars were hanging on to the window by a thread. He walked over and easily yanked them off.
"Ladies first!" he yelled. Cara yelped with delight and shoved her body through the small window. Her surskit quickly followed, scampering through after her.
"Electrike, return!" said Dominic, pointing the pokeball at him. In a burst of energy electrike's body flew into the ball. Dominic jumped out the window.
And it was just in time - as Dominic began running with Cara as fast as they could, the night guard came hobbling over to the cell. With a look of disbelief on his face, his eyes fell upon the broken window.
"Goddammit! I knew I should have took ze little brats pokemon! ARGHH!" he threw down the keys to the cell and ran outside, but by the time he made it out it was too late - there was no sign of them in the crowd.
* * * * * * * * *
"Cara, we hafta get out of Mauville City."
"I know, Dom.. but where are we gonna go? We were supposed to get our trainer stuff at the Mauville lab, and, and, all we have are our two pathetic pokemon.." Cara's eyes were wide and helpless. Her and Dominic were outside the city limits, in a small apple tree grove.
"I don't know what to tell you, Cara," said Dom, picking an apple and taking a bite, "I don't even understand why we were arrested in the first place. That French guy is almost definitely on our trail as we speak.." They looked at each other and for a moment Dom thought that she was very pretty when she was nervous, but then they were interrupted.
"So, here are ze little brats.."
"AHH!" Cara screamed as she saw the man come out from behind a tree. "God DAMN it! We're dead!"
"You two.. you two are very smart.." the man sat down on the ground next to Dominic and Cara.
"What do you want?" asked Dom.
"You know I could arrest you two," he took off his yellow cap revealing equally blondish white hair. "It iz ze law, you know."
"So..what are you proposing?" Cara replied.
"I'll have you an offer," he said. "I've seen your use of a pokemon's power already. I know your pokemon are still young. If you battle me I will let you off ze hook." Dom and Cara each took a moment to look at the guard in disbelief.
"Offer accepted!"
"Wonderful. Ze girl, she cannot battle. It iz not fair to have a two on one battle."
Cara suddenly grew red in the face. "What? If it wasn't for my surskit we wouldn't BE here right now!" She stood up and looked the guard in the face.
"Shush, girl. Would you razzer let your little friend battle me or go back to ze jail?"
"Fine." Cara sat back down, crossing her arms. "But if Dom wins then you have to clear our records completely. By the way, what IS on our records?"
"Dom, iz it?" the guard put back on his hat. "I am Pierre. And your record? You were on ze streets past midnight..Mauville City has recently been infiltrated by Team Magma and ze government has made a curfew of 12 midnight. Needless to say, you broke ze curfew and I was only following suit."
"Well it helps to get that confirmed," said Dom, pulling out his pokeball. "Ready, Pierre?"
"Wahoo, I am!"
"Shut up Cara."
"Yes, Dominic, I am ready to battle."
Both stepped away from Cara into a small clear area.
"Alright, Pierre, let's make it a good battle,"
"Yes sir. It had better be - you're chances of going back to jail are in jeopardy." Pierre had his pokeball in hand, ready to go, as did Dominic, when he realized something. This was his first battle in four years.
