Chapter XLII- The Party's not over yet!
Me and Erika both put our armor on and began to head, with Jarod, to Goldenrod
in Jhoto to see my mom and find out where her parents are. The first few days, me and
Erika roller-bladed across the routes while Jarod and Hinokoai rode next to us on
Pegasedon and Charizard. To get out of the pokemon Leauge area without attracting too
much attention, we had to pass through Victory Road, then travel down rts.27 to 26 then
surf past the Dark Cave to New Bark Town. We stopped there a while to get new
pokeballs, stock up on food and supplies, and heal our pokemon. We didn't have the time
to stop and see Proffesor Elm though. Maybe after the wedding, we can start anew in
Jhoto as Pokemon Masters?... Anyway, from New Bark Town, we decided to fly to
Goldenrod city because we had already taken too many days rollerblading and surfing.
"How much farther is it?" I asked Erika who was trying to keep her balance on Ryu and
hold the map at the same time.
"Well, right now we're over Azalea Town, so if we fly over the upper half of route #34,
we should get there in a few minutes." Erika said as she quickly stuffed the map back into
her back pack and grabbed back onto Ryu's neck.
"Great! I can't wait to see your new house Marcy and meet your dad." Jarod said
enthusiasticly.
"............." Silence from me and Hinokoai.
"Ok guys, take a right here! And we're in Goldenrod!" We all swung a right on Erika's
command, and there it was; Goldenrod City. The buildings were all a beautiful shade of
Golden Yellow, even the Radio tower far off at the edge of the City sparkled in the
sunlight, glintting and gleaming like gold.
"It's beautiful!" I said as I spotted a blue house in the middle of all the gold off in the
distance. "Take your time Pidgeot. I'm gonna call mom." I said and I pulled my back pack
off my back to find that Raichu was latched to it. (He doesn't like flying.) "You guys wait
for a minute." I yelled to them and they flew back to me for a second. "Ok, Raichu, do
you think you can unattach yourself from my back pack for one second so I can look for
my cell phone?" He raised one of his paws, undid the latch on my back pack and stuck his
head in, pulling the cell phone out in his mouth. "Oh! Thanks^_^" I said and put it back
on my back with Raichu still attached. "Let's see now, the phone number should still be in
the callers somewhere..." I said and scrolled through the list. "Ah! Here it is!" and I
pressed confirm to dial it. The phone rang for a while then my mom finally picked it up.
"HI!...... I'm in Goldenrod!......well I was looking for the house, but it's not really that hard
to find. It's the only blue one in this entire town!.......we should be there in just a minute if
we hurry.......yeah she's here....k" I said and handed the phone to the slightly surprised
Erika.
"Hello?...yeah! Hi Mrs.Blaze...............................really! Oh! I'm so glad someone knows
where they are!...........Yeah, after all the partys are over and the wedding is all set, we
might stop by since it's on the way.....thanks soooo much. Do you wanna talk to Marcy
again?.............OK!(cute giggle) We'll see you soon! Bye!" She said and handed the cell
phone back to me after she had turned it off.
"What did she say?" I asked and put it in my pocket.
"She just wanted to tell me that my parents found a huge place in Azalea Town near Ilex
Forest and they saw me on T.V.!" She said excited. "I'll have to call them when we get to
your house." She finished and I said,
"Well then, let's get going already!" Noki said and we flew off heading for the blue house
in the distance. As we got closer and closer, it got bigger and bigger until we landed near
the front gate and it look like a million dollar mansion. "I-It's huge!" I said and looked up.
"I think it's even bigger than my house in Mahogany Town!" Jarod said as he looked up
too.
"Hey, who's that?" Erika asked and we all stopped looking up to look at the front door. It
was my mom, runing to greet us.
"Marcy!! Hunny welcome home!! Erika! How are you! Jarod! Congradulations!!" She
yelled all of this as she ran not noticing Noki who was standing behind us.
"Hey mom!" I said and gave her a big hug.
"Now, come on then!! I've got a lot planned for you today!" She ran behind us and all
pushed us through the gateway and tword the house.() "First your gonna take a nice long
bath, then your gonna eat some lunch, then you will go shopping, oh, and don't forget
about the par.......wait....I think you have an extra person here...Jarod, Marcy, Erika, and
who are you?" She asked and stopped pushing us for a second.
"Oh!() Mom, this is Noki....I'll explain who she is after we get inside; I don't think you're
going to belive it though." She continued then to go on and on with what she had planned
out for the day(and night[PARTY!!]). When we arrived at the front door, my dad opened
it and said,
"Welcome home pumpmkin! How was you pokemon leauge battle? I didn't get to see it
on T.V. because I was sooo busy with work, but I want to hear all about it! And who is
this handsome young man?" He asked eyeing Jarod.
"I'm Jarod Silph sir! It's nice to meet you." He said and they shook hands.
"Silph hugh? I got a bone to pick with them. Ya see, I've been working on this thing
called a master ball and I can't seem to get the dimesion inverter to release correctly, ya
see...." Dad walked off with Jarod into the living room and they talked while mom
marched us off to the new Ladies Bath.
"You told him that I was gonna marry him hugh?" I asked mom as we walked down
marble stairs.
"Oh sweety, I know you wanted it to be a surprise, but it accidentely popped out while we
were watching you on T.V. Dad asked who that was that kissed you and I had to tell him.
I'm sorry." She said as we got to a landing not to far above the bath.
"That's ok. I just hope he doesn't interogate Jarod too much. He might never wanna come
back." I said as I grabbed a towl off the numerous railings there were on the wall to my
right.
"He promised that he wouldn't ask too much....Now! The changing rooms are down the
stairs along with the bath." She said.
"How come it's sooo far underground, our last one wasn't this far." I asked.
"Well, it turns out that when we bought it, this house didn't have a bath. So when we were
doing construction for one, we came across a natural hot spring! It was soo cute and
quaint we didn't want to build anything over it, so we built around it!"
"Cool! I can't wait to see what it looks like!" Erika yelled and headed down the last flight
of stairs, I could hear her voice echo from the bottom, "COOOOL!!"
"I'll go make lunch. You girls enjoy the hot bath ok!^_^ When you gat back upstairs, I
want to know all about you Noki^_^" Mom said and headed back up the stairs. I walked
down and found Erika already in the bath. She changed fast()
"So, how is it?" I asked Erika but she didn't say anything, it was like she was asleep.
"......"
I went and got changed, through I really did't change into anything, and left my
towel on the side of the spring. Noki slipped in across from me. I stepped in, and it was
soooo nice. Raichu detached himself from my back pack and did a flop into the water. I
splashed him a bit when he came up and tickled his tummy while he back floated in the
water. The room wasn't really decorated at all it was natural rock that made the walls,
supported by some white pillars here and there in an octagon shape. The water was sooo
nice and warm. I turned over and put my arms up on the side of the bath, then put my
head down on them, and fell asleep.
"Marcy? Erika? Noki? What happened you girls fall asleep?" My mom said, she was
standing on the side of the bath. "Sweetie, where did you girls get those tatoos? They
aren't real....right?" She asked as I woke up more.
"Um....well...it's another long story mom...And you'll get really worried if you hear it..." I
said and Erika and Noki got out, going into the changing room.
"What do you mean? What happened?" She continued to ask, so I told her about what
happened at Mahogany Gym and she was stunned. "Lugia!? Really! You're very lucky
Jarod loves you so much."
"I know. I have to get dressed, do you mind...." I motioned her to go back upstairs, and
she did. I got out of the bath, carrying Raichu under my arm, put on my towel, and got
dressed. I dried Raichu off a bit and we went up stairs to find lunch ready, and Jarod
scarffing it down.
"I'm gonna call my parents really fast before I eat, if you don't mind Mrs.Balze..." Erika
said, finishing putting up her odangos int the dinning room mirror.
"No problem hunny!^_^" Mom said and as I sat down, she put a plate in front of me with
a large steak on it, just the way I like it.
"Wow......() That's one big peice of meat." I said as I starred and began to drool.
"A big peice for a big ocassion!" She said, and motioned me to eat as she went back to the
kitchen to show Erika where the phone was and get her lunch ready. I ate it slowly and
joyfully. It was the best steak I had ever eaten. Mom must have made it specially for me,
because it was soooo good, and sooo well done...."mmmmm" I mumbled. Jarod looked
up from his plate for a second and I nearly chooked laughing at him. He had a huge bunch
of noodles hanging out of his mouth with the ocassional vegtable hanging on to it. I
swallowed what I had been chewing on and said "Hold on!! Don't move an inch!!" and I
ran into the kitchen, finding the right drawer with the camera in it, she always kept it in
the kitchen, and ran back to take a picture of Jarod. He slurped up all the noodles,()eww,
and said,
"What's the big idea?" He said.
"Nothing^_^ I just think that's going to look really nice in my room!" I said and ran back
into the kitchen as mom and Noki went into the dinning room with plates.
"So, Noki...where are you from?" Mom asked as they began to eat their lunch, and I
finished mine. (I eat way too fast for my own good()) Noki looked at me and I said, "Tell
her everything."
"Hmm. Noki...No-ki...isn't that short for Hinokoai in our language?" Mom said asking
me.
"Yeah." I plainly said.
"Doesn't it mean 'Fire of Love?' and Noki means 'The Fire Birds...love?'" Mom finished,
and let Noki continue.
"Yeah." Noki said and finally I told mom what happened about Celebi, and how we got
dragged across time. "So....you see....Noki...is your...granddaughter..." I said and mom
nearly fell off her seat.
"???But you're the same age!? How can it be?"
"It's because she's from the future. She came through the transporter with us." I said and
tried to stretch out.
"Amazing! This is sooo wonderful!" She stood up and cleared everyones plate from the
table. She came back and handed an envalope to Hinokoai, then said, "Consider it a pre-
happy first birthday gift. A little cash to spend on a Kimono and jewelry^_^" Hinokoai
looked stunned and opened the envalope.
"Oh! Mrs. Blaze! I can't take this!?" She said and folded it back in.
"Non-sense child! It's only 100 dollars! And call me Grandma Blaze! I like the sound of
it^_^" She came over and gave us each, including Jarod, an envalope.
"Mom!!!??" I said and didn't move except to quickly put the 600 dollars mom had given
me back into the envalope.
"It's your present for becoming a pokemon Master! And I think Jarod already has an idea
of what he's going to use his for^_^(I thoguht he might need a little more^_^)" Jarod counted it out and
then on his fingers again to make sure.
"Sure do mom^_^!" He said and put it in his back pocket.
"That's the spirit^_^! Mom to Jarod and Grandma to Noki....boy oh boy! You've been a
busy girl Marcy Blaze!.....Now! There's a Fire pokemon festival all this week, starting
tommorow, in New Bark Town. What I thought you could do; just a suggestion of
course^_^, is, go to the festival, have some fun, plan the wedding for 2 days later, and
then start out your new pokemon journey in Jhoto! And you don't even have to go
anywhere! All your friends won't be too far away, it's right in between Jhoto and Kanto!"
As usual, mom had everything planned out down to the very last detail. She had found us
a hotel to stay in in New Bark Town, a place to have the wedding, a bridal shop that had
beautiful dresses; none over 300 dollars, and even had the invitations all ready to be sent
out.
"As usual, you've out-done yourself Mrs.Blaze." Erika remarked as she put her hand on
mom's shoulder.
"Yes, I know, but it's all for you guys to be happy^_^."
"I don't know what we'd do without you mom." Jarod said.
"Well! Don't just stand around! You've got shopping to do!" She made a 'go on, shew'
motion to us, and saying thanks, we headed for New Bark Town to put mom's plan into
motion.
Me and Erika both put our armor on and began to head, with Jarod, to Goldenrod
in Jhoto to see my mom and find out where her parents are. The first few days, me and
