Chapter LVIII- A Normal Battle
Chapter LVIII- A Normal Battle
As I layed in bed with Jarod fast alseep snoring away next to me, I thought about
all of our past adventures. It was kind of odd to be married to the kid I used to know
when I was12. But I layed there, my arms streatched out over my head, reclining on the
head board, just staring off at the fireplace infront of me. All of a sudden I heard a low
grunt from Jarod, that sounded like he was upset and he rolled over onto his back.
"What's wrong?" He asked and yawned slightly. "I would think that you of all people
would be asleep by now after eating and drinking so much." He said and rustled his hair a
tiny bit.
"I know. That's just the thing." I said and thought about it some more. "Have you noticed
ever since I got these wings my problems just haven't been affecting me as much as they
normally should...?" I said and turned to look at him, "What do you think?"
"Hmm..." He said and rubbed his eyes. "I think...you're right. Actually I've been feeling
pretty good lately too. Maybe they do have something to do with one another, but don't
you think we should get some sleep now? It is...." He turned over to look at the clock, "..2
in the morning and we have to battle Whittney tommorrow..." He said and snuggled
himself back under the covers.
"Yeah...you're right." I said and pulled myself under them as well. I was set for a while,
but decided to check my e-mail just to get me groggy. I turned on my computer and
opened it up to find an e-mail from Roger saying that my Charmander evolved and he sent
it to the Characific Valley for a little while. It was nice of him to tell me where she was,
but I was upset he decided not to take care of her longer. I finally turned everything oof
though and went back to bed.
I woke up later that morning to the sound of water running in my bathroom. I sat
up, rubbing my eyes until they focused, and found Jaord in there, shirtless yet again,
brushing his teeth. I got up out of bed slowly, and moved the covers aside, standing up
and stretching, careful not to wake Raichu who was still sleeping at the edge of the bed. I
slowly slothed over toward the bathroom and Jarod turned and smiled at me, with his
tooth brush still in his mouth.
"Out." I said and squished him against the counter.
"Why?" He asked and spit into the sink.
"My bathroom, and I need to take a shower and get dressed." I said and got my bathrobe
off the towel rack.
"Right then ok.^_^" He said and left, closing the door behind him. I turned on the faucet
and got it as hot as I wanted then got ready to go in, just as there was a knock on the
door.
"I'm in the shower." I said and opened the door to the shower when the bathroom door
creaked open. "JAROD!!" I shouted and stood there for a second momentarily stunned.
"..." He just stood there staring for a moment, then decided to make a joke out of it. "Well
I guess I'd see that eventually...." He said and giggled. I took a bath towel and flung it at
him, landing it right on his face. Without removing it he asked, "Well...could you at least
hand me my comb?" And I could help giggling a little. I turned around and gave it to him,
which he took gratefully without removing the towel, then left closing the door.
By the time I had gotten out Raichu was up and sitting by the fire that had started
in the fireplace, supposedly by Jarod to make up for walking in on me, and the sun was
now bright, with the shades of the windows drawn back. I got dressed and picked up
Raichu, getting my pokeballs out of the dresser, and putting them onto my belt. I slowly
made my way into the hallway and walked down the stairs with Raichu following me, and
jumped the last step down the the floor, Raichu landing on one foot. I looked over to the
sitting area and saw Jarod and Noki playing a fighting game while Erika was watching
with Ryu, waiting their turns. I walked over to them and crouched behind the couch,
putting my hand on Jarods shoulder.
"Hey did you guys have breakfast already?" I asked and Jarod turned around slightly red.
"Ugh...Angel about before..." he said and turned back to his game suddenly as Noki
kicked his character and K.O.'d him.
"That's ok^_^" I said and waited for a response to my question.
"Yeah...I ate some frozen pancakes..." Noki said as the game restarted and their characters
were restored.
"Yep! Me and Ryu had some cereal and apples." Erika said as she watched. "GET HIM!!"
She shouted and Ryu made a low growling noise.
"Ok. Well me and Raichu are just gonna grab something quick. I'm not really too hungry."
I said and walked over to the kitchen, getting two peaches for me and an apple for Raichu,
which he gobbled down as I ate one of my peaches and watched them play. Jarod got
K.O.'d by Noki again.
"YEA! Who's the champ??" She said and raised her arms shouting chants. "So who's
facing my wrath NEXT!?" She asked and looked from me to Erika, then to Ryu then
smirked.
"You're not actually going to let him play that....are you???" I asked as I watched Jarod
dodge out of the way as Ryu sat down on the now very small looking couch.
"Why not?" Noki asked and pointed to the controller. "You saw what Jarod did right? Just
do that...but don't press or squeeze it too hard ok?" he shook his head and the game
started. At first he was just pressing random buttons, but once he had figured out what
they all did, he was pretty damn good.
"That is sooooo weird..." I said as I ate the last bit of my second peach.
"Wow...GO BABY!! YAY!" Erika shouted and watched as Ryu finished off Nokis'
character. We all stared in disbelief as Ryu glared at Noki 'So who's the champ NOW?'
written all over his face.
"Well we better get going." I said and picked up Raichu. He was happy that I had done
that because I hadn't been able to for some time. Everyone eventually got their stuff
together, and we walked to the gym, not being able to hold in our excitment. "Hey
Noki..." I asked her as we walked, "..how did you know Ryu was able to play Mortal
Kombat so well?" She turned to look at me, and then shifted her eyes to look and see if
Erika or Jarod were near by and they weren't,
"To tell you the truth..." She whisped as Jarod and Erika came closer, "I play that game
with him all the time at the ranch in the future. It's good for expanding their intelligence
cause they have to learn all the buttons and combos, just like a person. Plus, they pick up a
few abilities that aren't really moves, but motions they can remember to do...like Knight's
Move. Jarod taught it to Ryu when he was still a Charizard, but I'll bet you he remembers
it." She said as we arrived at the gym and walked in thorugh the glass sliding doors.
"Do you want to go first?" I asked Erika.
"Na. That's ok. You can go first." She said, as her, Jarod and Noki sat down on the bench
behind me.
"Ok." I said and walked forward onto the field where I could see a figure at the other end.
"I am Marcy Silph of Cinnibar Island, and I am here to challenge you, Whittney of
Goldenrod!" I said and the figure turned around.
"So...this is Marcy Silph of Cinnibar Island." She looked around me to see Erika, "And
Erika as well...interesting. Well I'm sure you girls will have fun here. Hey...can I ask you
about those wings?" She said rather annoyingly, and we both ignored her.
"Go Raichu!" I said and Raichu hopped out to the center of the field.
"Hmm...ok fine. Go Milktank!" She said and threw out her Miltanks pokeball. "Rollout!!"
She yelled and she instantly rolled up into a ball and chased after Raichu.
"Raichu, jump!!" I shouted and he dodged just in time, "Now thunderbolt!!" I yelled and
he created a huge spark of lighting that headed right for her Miltank.
"The other trainers of Jhoto may have been easy...but it's uphill from here!!" She said and
looked back to her Miltank. "Spin as fast as you can Milktank!!" And she began to spin
around, deflecting Raichus thunder, so that we had to jump out of the way. "Now Body
Slam!!" She yelled and She jumped into the air, slamming Raichu to the ground.
"RAICHU!" I said and stared. "Raichu! Thunderstorm!" I shouted as I fell backward and
landed on my butt as sparks of thunder flew through the air.
"You ok!?" Erika shouted and I could feel myself become dizzy again.
"Hehe fine thankies..." I said and stood up. A few bolts hit Miltank and paralyzed it.
"Milktank, HEAL BELL!" She said and it was suddenly perfectly fine.
"Shit." I said and Raichu turned to me as Whittney smiled evily at me. " I think we have to
beat her together Erika..." I picked up Raichu, who for the most part was still ready to
battle, and walked back to the field with Erika. We stopped at our spots, I put Raichu
down, and he walked over to her Miltank, then Erika threw Ryus pokeball out. "I
underestimated you and payed dearly for it. I'm not fooling around anymore." I said and
we both shouted different commands at the same time to confuse Whittney,
"Raichu Extreme Speed!!"
"Ryu!! Rake that Milktank!" Raichu dissapeared, and Ryu lunged forward, swipping at the
Milktank. Together, Whittney couldn't decide on who to attack. But since she couldn't see
Raichu at the current moment, she decided to pick on Ryu.
"Milktank!! CHARM!" She said and Miltank made a cute little face with hearts swirrling
around her. Ryu simply stared at her, then made a face like, 'Yeah right...' and continued
his attack, changing his attack pattern so it was difficult for Whittney to counter.
