Chapter XLIX- Out of Action
Well now that we were all safe, with the exception of my broken arm, we made
our way back to my house in Goldenrod where mom decided we should stay for a while.
It kind of put a damper on our hopes that we could go looking for pokemon, but mom
was probably right. So I sat in bed for two days in and out occasionally to eat, get dressed,
all that.
This morning I was rather bored after being upstairs for two days so I decided to
go downstairs and see what everyone else was up to. It's not like it was early in the
morning, it was actually about 7:30. I walked down the stairs carefully holding on to the
right hand railing as I went down. I looked over into the foyer, and there where Noki and
Jarod were playing a video game; I really couldn't tell which one, I had just woken up and
my eyes were still kind of blurry. As I reached the bottom step I suddenly heard a loud
shout from the kitchen.
"AHH!!! SHITT!!!!" Then suddenly there was a loud crash like a landslide of pots and
pans. I slid in my socks onto the floor and stared into the kitchen, there among the pots
and pans was Erika half burried. "Owies..." She said and giggled as she picked a pan up
off her stomach. "Oh fine. The one I need is the last to fall out, right?" She shook her head
and began to move the others aside.
"What are you doing?" I said and walked over to help.
"Well.....It's a suprise!" She said and piled a few small pots onto the kitchen counter. I
picked up one pot at a time until all of them were on the table. "Ok! Now shew! The
master must have her space!" She said and she began to shew me out of the kitchen.
"ooook..." I reluctantly left and she closed the large sliding door behind me.
"What in the world is she doing guys?" I asked as I walked over to the couch where Jarod
and Noki were, seemingly unphased by the loud crash.
"Beats me...." Jarod remarked.
"AHHHH!! NOT FAIR NOT FAIR!!!" Noki shouted as Jarods passed her car.
"HA!!" He smirked and just as he turned the corner, he ran into a large fence.
"Jarod! You've played this game a million times and you STILL don't know where the
turn-around is???" I remarked. All he did was make a muffled grunt noise and turn his car
around as Noki sped past him.
"Rai-chu!!" *Hello!* Raichu came hoping over from the couch he was sitting on and
pulled on my pajama pants.
"Hey Raichu^_^" I said and scratched the top of his head.
"RaiRai Chu Raichu?" *Marcy feeling better?* He said as I continued to scratch his head.
"Yes. Marcy is feeling quite a bit better." There was another crash from the kitchen and
Erika yelled,
"OK!!! You can come in now!!!!!" Both me and Raichu walked over to the closed door
and slowly slide the door open.
"Watashi no Kami-sama!!!!!!!" I stared into the kitchen.
"What!?" Jarod and Noki both shouted and jumped over the couch to join us.
"Whoa...." They both remarked as we walked into the kitchen. There on the table were
PILES of pancakes. "Erika....I think you went a little over board this time....." Noki
remarked as she grabbed a plate with 6 pancakes on it.
"Na-UH!!! It's a get well present for Marcy!" She said and smiled still with the pancake
flipper in hand. "Well....EAT ALREADY!! There's a lot of food here that we have to
eat!!" She said and took off her little Charizard apron, putting the flipper on the table and
taking a plate of 5 pancakes.
"Oh my gosh..." I said and both me and Jarod took a plate with 5 pancakes as well.
"Look Raichu!" Erika said and bent down, "I even made some smaller ones for you^_^!"
She said and pointed to a big plate with several smaller pancakes on it.
"Raichu Rai!!!!" *Thank you!!!!* He said and climbed up onto a chair at the table. We all
started to eat and there was a ringing at the door.
"I'll get it!!!!" Noki shouted, eager to leave the pancakedom in fear of devouring them all.
She walked over to the front door and opened it. "Hm....Can I help you?" Then a light-
hearted female voice was heard.
"Um...Is this the house of Marcy Silph?" Noki poped her head around the door so she
could see me. She moved her eyes to indicate what I wanted her to answer. I shook my
head and she dissapeared again. "I'm sorry this isn't is it?"
"No! No it is...actually." Noki quickly answered.
"Really? I thought so!! My name is Shirushi Okami, and I want to make a challenge to the
Master." I nearly choked on my pancakes. I dashed around the corner to come to the front
door. In the door way the girl stood. She had light brownish red hair in a low loose bun,
and two very thin small braids that hung down on either side of her neck. Both of her ears
were pierced in the cartalidge with little silver hoops, and she wore a red vest like shirt
with a hood, short black shorts, and black fingerless gloves. She also appeared to have a
belt like acsessory around her left arm, and just above that was a tattoo with the japanese
kanji for Okami(Wolf), with a cresent moon above it.
"Um...parrdon me saying this....but you want to make a challange to me?" I said and
realized I was still in my pjs. "Why don't you come in and eat some pancakes with us...I'll
go upstairs and get dressed."
"Really? I can come in? Thank you very much." She said and bowed slightly after walking
into the house and taking off her shoes. Noki closed the door and showed her to the
kitchen as I ran up the stairs with Raichu behind me. As I made it to the top I heard
Shirushi remark,
"Jarod Silph!!....AND Erika Crimson!!!! WOW!! Can I challenge you too!?" I shook my
head and ran to my bedroom where I took a quick shower and got dressed careful not to
move my arm too much. I came back downstairs with Raichu following me again and
walked into the kitchen where a lively conversation was going on.
"Really? How did you get into dog and wolf pokemon?" Jarod asked. He was sitting at the
table with Shirushi while Erika pilled the cleaned off dishes into the dishwasher. Noki
stood, leaning agaist the counter, staring incessantly at her. I made my way across the
kitchen while Shirushi talked with Jarod and leaned on the counter next to Noki.
"What is it?" I whispered to her.
"Something......." Noki whispered back, not moving her head or her eyes to look at me.
"Something my mom told me. It's interesting to watch this play out in the past...."
"Oh I see. So I guess that means you can't tell me what's bothering you right?" I asked and
stood up straight.
"Yep." She said finally removing her eyes from Shirushi and turing to me with an odd sad
faced smile.
"Hey! Do you accept my challenge?" Shirushi suddenly remarked. I stared for a moment
and since I haden't been there for Jarod's interogation of her I had no idea if I should or
not.
"Um...Shirushi where are you from?" I asked hoping to get some info.
"Oh I'm from Azalea Town here in Jhoto... I compeated in the Leauge here just the other
month and got 6th place. Recently I just went to the Hoenn Region to train, and I found
some really nice wolf pokemon there! I wanted to come here and see just how good I am."
I stood and starred for a moment assesing my chances of winning--or rather my chances of
loosing. I had no idea what kind of pokemon lived in Hoenn, so I didn't know if she had
any legendary pokemon with her or not.
"You said you like wolf pokemon right? Which ones do you have?" I asked.
"All sorts! I have cat ones too! But my team is usually my wolves. I can't tell you which
though! That would give you a major advantage^_^." She said and I grumbled to myself.
"Hinokoai......give me Orion." I said and held my hand out infront of her.
"Oh! You accept! Good!" She said and stood up.
"Shall we then ladies?" Jarod said and motioned for us to go outside. We all walked
outside, Raichu and Ryu following us down the stairs and to the front gates of the house.
We opened the gates and were instantly bombarded by fans.
"Oh!!! LOOK!!! It's Marcy AND ERIKA!!!!!" One girl shouted and a crowd came
running. Jarod jumped infront of me so no one would knock my arm and they all stopped.
"Please people! We are trying to have a pokemon battle here!! Please step VERY far
back!" Jarod shouted and they all gathered in a large circle around the front gates.
"OOOO!!!! They're going to use their powerful pokemon!!!" Another guy shouted and the
crowd finally back up far enough where we could battle safely. I took a spot on one side
of the crowd, and her on the other.
"Ok ladies what'll it be? 2 on 2? 3 on 3?"
"How about 2 on 2? We each use two pokemon!" She shouted and the crowd quited
down.
"Sounds good to me." I said and Noki handed me Orion's Pokeball.
"Ok! Here I go!" She said and tossed out what looked like a Moon Ball. It popped open
and there was the oddest pokemon I had seen yet. It was longish in body shape like a
Zigzagoon, but it was black with a smaller head, red eyes, and a silver 'cap' with a silver
tummy and two long silver claws on each paw. I took out my pokedex and opened it up. It
pulled up a picture of it and started to ramble off....
'Quirilat...a base pokemon...height- 4' 5''...Type 1--Dark, Type 2--None...Special Ability--
Intimidate--Lowers the foes Attack Sharply...Quirilat are found rarely in Heonn located
sparsly on the mysterious Mirage Island which only appears once one day every 3 years in
the summer. Originally discovered by Shirushi Okami.'
"Wow...looks like you've got yourself quite a pokemon there..." I said and put the
pokedex away. "...but I've got quite a pokemon as well!" I said and threw out Orions
Master Ball.
"Wow.....what is that? It looks like a cat\dog...." She remarked as Orion materialized.
"Actually that's kinda what it is." I said.
"Hm...well...Quirilat, Faint Attack!" She yelled and it suddenly dissapeared.
"Orion quick Extreem Speed!" I yelled and Orion leaped forward dissapearing in a flash,
then both of them reappeared in a massive clash of light twords the center of the field.
Orion had stopped Quirilats attack, and Quirilat had stopped Orions. "Hm..." I said and
considered my next move, but not before Shirushi made hers.
"Now Shadow Ball!" She shouted and a huge ball of Negative energy hurleditself at
Orion.
"Orion Fury Cutter!!" I yelled and it reared up on it's back legs, cutting through the air and
right through the shadow ball, but not before it injured him a bit. "GO!" I shouted and it
leaped forward, slashing at Quirilat.
"Fury Swipes!!!" She shouted and it began to slash at him fiercly.
"Orion ROAR!" I yelled and Orion roared with the power of Entei. It opened it's huge
mouth and let out a loud Entei roar that went from one pitch to the other. The crowd near
by wisely covered their ears and Quirilat was paralyzed. "Sacred FIRE!!" I shouted and
the flames on his ankles flamed up and he leaped forward as a mass of fire, body slamming
the Quirilat back near Shirushi's feet.
"Uh!! Quirilat!! Return." She said and called it back. "Go Manectric!!" She yelled and
threw out a Speed Ball. A strange Jolteon like pokemon emerged and I decided to leave
Orion on the field.
"Orion Roar!!!" I shouted but just as it did, Manectric dissapeared and reappeared bash
Orion before he could open his mouth. "So fast!!!" I shouted and yelled to Orion, "Ok, no
fooling around anymore Orion! He's too quick for our little games!" And Orion got back
up.
"Manectric Charge!" She yelled and it began to glow bright yellow, accumulating all the
electricity it could.
"Damn! Orion Fire Blast!!" I said and it sent a huge blast of Fire at Manectric.
"Now!" She yelled and it ran at Orion, dodging the Fire Blast barely, "Spark!" She yelled
and it slammed into him again.
"Extreem Speed! Orion?" I said but it didn't get up, small sparks around it's body
emenated. "Oh no..."
"You have to watch out for Manectrics special ability!! It's called Static and it instantly
paralyzes on contact!!" She yelled and I had no choice to call orion back. He was far from
done, but being paralyzed he couldn't even defend himself.
"Go Raichu!" I said and he hopped out from behind me and onto the field.
"Thunderbolt!" She yelled and Raichu instantly got up onto it's tail. The Thunder hit him,
but he was unphased. "What!?"
"Electric Type moves don't work on other electric types...."
"Well then I guess it's a draw then." She said and stared.
"Not quite...." She looked up slightly annoyed.
"Raichu....BLIZZARD!!!!!" I said and it got down, creating an ice cold wind. The hole
crowd backed away as the Blizzard rushed twords Shirushi. She yelled,
"Agility!!!" And Manectric began to move from spot to spot, but it was finally frozen.
"NO!.....Manectric...return...." She said and called it back. The whole crowd began to
cheer, some wandered over to me, some wandered over to Raichu, and some wandered
over to Shirushi. Shouts of 'That was amazing!' Eminated from the crowd as they gathered
around their respective people (and pokemon). I managed to wriggle my way through the
crowd that was growing thicker by the moment, and stoped to face Shirushi. The crowd
suddenly fell uncomfortably silent.
"That was a good battle." I said and put out my hand for her to shake it. "You really
almost nailed me there. There's still alot about pokemon from this region that I haven't
learned yet."
"Thanks." She took my hand and we shook them, and then Jarod came from behind me,
carefully pushing though the crowd making a path for us.
"Come back to the house would you?" I asked and motioned my hand in the direction of
the gate.
"Um...maybe just for a little." She said and we walked back, the crowd finally backing
away from Ryu as he let out a massive yawn, which apparently they mistakenly interperted
as a threat. Erika laughed and walked back up after us with Ryu following her, keeping the
crowd at bay.
Well now that we were all safe, with the exception of my broken arm, we made
our way back to my house in Goldenrod where mom decided we should stay for a while.
It kind of put a damper on our hopes that we could go looking for pokemon, but mom
was probably right. So I sat in bed for two days in and out occasionally to eat, get dressed,
