Chapter XXIV- Baby Love
The first two weeks were fairly uneventful inside of the fact that I can't stop
thinking about Jarod. Hey, so what's NEW??? Not much.....Gyrados learned Dragon
Rage. Which was actually an accident. And I got a special visit at the beach. We were at
the beach with Ash and Misty when Ash said,
"I've got an idea! Why don't we have a surfing contest? Erika, you have a pokemon that
can surf right?"
"Sure I do."
"Great! Misty's got plenty too! We'll have teams, Misty and me against you and Marcy.
What do ya say?"
"Sounds like fun!" I said and grabbed Gyrados' pokeball. "Go Gyrados!" I said and threw
his pokeball into the water. Me and Erika both climbed onto his back. I held onto his
dorsal fin, while Erika held onto my waist.
"Go, Mantine!" she yelled and threw a blue pokeball into the water.
"What's that?" I asked.
"I caught it in Jhoto fishing! Isn't it cute?" She said as she got onto it's back with Ash. It
had two fins on it's sides that were made of cartalige, so they were more like wings. But it
was a beautiful dark blue color with a greyish underside.
"All right. On the count of three, we'll go out to that marker and back. Who ever get's
back first wins."
"Right!" Erika said.
"Go!" He yelled and we sprinted off. At first, we were in the lead, but that Mantine of
hers was really fast. It didn't even look like it was touching the water.
"Come on Gyrados! Use your whirlpool!" I yelled and he created a huge whirlpool of
water that lifted us out of the water. We sped tword Misty and Ash who were rounding
the marker. We rounded the marker after them, and it was a flat out swim to the shore.
Mantine pulled ahead again, but something happened to Gyrados. The whirlpool became
larger and higher, until we were a good two feet out of the water. The sky turned black
and the waves began to crash up against all of us.
"What's happening!?" I yelled and held on tight.
"That's his Dragon Rage!!!!" Misty yelled as we caught up to her and Ash.
"What!?" I yelled and tried to hold on as the wind blew up. The shore was right there, and
Misty and Ash were far behind us.
"Marcy!!Tell him to stop!!" Erika yelled and held on to my waist tight.
"Gyrados, stop!!" I yelled, but he ignored my command. "Erika, hold on!!" Gyrados
slammed into the shore, and we both flew off him, landing on the sand.
"Marcy!! Erika!!" I could hear Misty yelling from far behind us.
"Eri..ka?" I said as I tried to get up. I realized she was half ontop of me, and I carefully
slid out from underneath. "You..ok?" I asked and she opened her eyes a little.
"Yeah...but.."
"but..." I repeated,
"THAT WAS NUTS!!" She yelled and jumped up off me, "LET'S GO AGAIN!!"
"Ahhhh..........NO!!" I said and sat up. "Gyrados, return!" I yelled and as soon as he went
back into his pokeball, everything went back to normal.
"Are you guys ok???!!!" Misty yelled and Ash called back her Mantine.
"Yeah, although, I think Erika's common sense left with the wind." I said and giggled.
"That was fun!! Dangerous, but fun none the less!!" She yelled and stood up.
"I'm really sorry, I never should have asked you to race. That's something I only usually
do in Jhoto." Ash said and gave Misty back her lure ball.
"That's ok. No harm done." I said as I turned around to pick up Raichu because he was
shaking. "Oh, my poor baby...I'm ok."
"Oh my gosh!!!! You're hurt!!!!" She yelled and ran over to me touching my back
carefully.
"Hugh? oh, that was from Seafoam Islands." I said and tried to reach my scar.
"You got that at Seafoam Islands??!! What happened did a Gyrados attack you?!" She
said and realized that it wasn't bleeding.
"I don't remember how I got it." I said and Misty starred at me like I was nuts or
something. It was like, 'How could you not remember getting a scar that big?'
"It's a long story. Whad' ya say if we get some hot dogs, and I'll tell you all about it?"
"Sure!" Ash said and we all got hotdogs at the concession stand to eat while I told the
story. I even got Raichu one.
"So to make a longgggg story really short, we were visiting Seafoam Islands, and we
stopped on a patch of ice. We both thought it was an icy part on the floor, but it turns out
that it was the floor. Charizard accidentally melted the ice, and then cracked it when he
tried to fly off. He ended up falling down onto the basement floor with me, and we were
both knocked out for a while. I was out a lot longer than him though. So, when I woke up,
or when my eyes focused, I don't exactly remember which came first, I saw Articuno
trying to get the snow and ice off me."
"Articuno??!! Really??!! Are you sure??" Ash said.
"Positive. Erika can even tell you. So any way, there was a sharp pain in my back.
Articuno had accidentally caught it's beak on my shirt, and when it tried to get it off, it
gave me that scar."
"Amazing." Misty said and polished off her hotdog.
"So, how did you escape?" Ash asked as he pet pikachu's head.
"Jarod helped us out. I don't know how though because I was out the entire
time."
"So, it sounds like Jarod is a really nice guy...Is he your boyfriend?" Misty said and turned
to look at the hotels along the beach then smiled.
"Not yet. But he is an amazing guy." I said.
"He is...?" I heard behind me a guys voice, I turned around, and there he was, swimming
trunks and towel.
"....Jarod...." I was too astonished to speak at first. "JAROD!!!!" I yelled and my eyes
filled with tears. I ran over to him and hugged him tight.
"Marcy...I couldn't wait any longer to see you." He said and hugged me back.
"Jarod! I've missed you soooo much...you can't imagine!" I said as I began to cry.
"Marc..." He said and just held me tight. There was a relaxing silence. No birds, no waves
crashing. Just the beating of his heart and a silent wind that blew our hair.
"Baby Love....They were ment for each other." I could hear Erika whisper.
"Why...did you come home so soon?" I asked him as I wiped tears off my face.
"Well I had everything I needed and...I didn't want to make you wait any more. There was
just...no point in it."
"You are the perfect guy!" I said as I kissed him on the cheek. He turned a little red, but
didn't pull away. He was a little stunned at first, but quickly brushed his paralysis off.
"Er..rrika. I have your pokeball. Do you have yours Marc?" He was still holding onto me.
"Yup." I said and pulled it out. I was a little surprised at what I had just done myself.
"Here you go Erika." He said and pulled another Yujin ball like mine out of his back pack
and gave it to Erika.
"What are those?" Ash asked and got up.
"A little present for my friends." He said and finished, "go ahead, open them."
"Pokeball go!" We both yelled and threw them up into the air. They hit the ground and let
out the cuttest pokemon I had ever seen!....
