Forever a Rurouni

(Disclaimer: *insert the standard witty one here about only owning Arisa and what she says*)
No review responses for you people this chapter. Sorry, but I am in a total frenzy to get this up. ^^ ; After all, you've all been waiting for a few months.
Anyway, thanks to MTG for sending in all of those lovely scripts so far, they've really helped. ^^ I owe you one oekaki picture, now. And .... those pictures from that special were a riot! XD Oh, how I laughed. Hmm, a scrapbook full of Lance pictures doesn't seem like a bad idea....
I ... think ... I'm officially scarred for life. I was browsing around, searching for Pokemon pictures and. . .ran across hentai ones. And they said the family filters were ON! What kinda filtering was that?! Eww! Ew, ew, ew! Oh, my poor eyes ...... Oh, the horror ..how could they twist such an innocent thing?! *gags* Gee, and all on doing the search on Altavista. ...*makes a face* And, for some reason, I ran across lots of pictures of cows from that search.
Also, to all those who have tried to send in scripts, I thank you all, too. Though. . . .ehe, too bad none of you got working ones. ^^;
Well, now, onwards to the story!
-~*^-^*~-
Slumping upen the steps, Arisa groaned, wondering how much longer until the top. She knew she would regret not excersising as much during her weight training sessions in school. Of course, getting bulked up probably wouldn't have helped that much, either, since this was more of a leg thing and not much else.
With a long sigh, Arisa stood up. 'No use stalling.'
She leaned against the wall, after getting to her feet, for a second more before pushing off and walking up the steps with new determination.
Well, as much determination as one who had climbed five or so flights of stars in a tower could muster.
Luckily for Arisa, she had just succeeded in climbing the very last flight of stairs. She had reached the top.
"Whoo!"Arisa cheered, doing some strange victory dance. "I made it up! And I swear, if anyone saw that, I'm going to beat myself and them silly for seeing me do that."
Arisa scanned the area to see if anyone happened to have seen that dance of hers, and spotted someone, who looked mighty busy fretting over an Ampharos. Maybe she wan't see doing her dance. . .
Not wanting to intrud, Arisa walkd up to the girl and the pokemon she was tending to.
"Um, pardon. . ."Arisa began, "Are you. . .Jasmine, the gym leader?"
The girl looked up, the pigtailed parts of her hair swaying slightly from the movement.
"Yes, I am."
"Oh, well. . . .Are you busy? I'd. . .like a gym battle."
"Well. . . .I can't right now."Jasmine paused, petting the Ampharos on the head soothingly. ". . . .This pokemon always kept the see lit at night. . .but then it suddenly got sick. . . .It is gasping for air. I know that there is a wonderful pharmacy in Cianwood, but I cannot go, I have to stay here to attend to Amphy. Do you think you could. . . .Go there and fetch the medicine for me?"
Arisa paused, glancing from Jasmine to Amphy, before deciding, "I guess I could. . ."
Besides, wasn't there a gym down there anyway? Talk about killing two birds with one stone.
Jasmine positively beamed, "Oh, thank you! Please, hurry."
"I will."
-~*^-^*~-
Arisa looked off into the distance, shielding her eyes from the sun by placing one hand over her brow.
"Dang, I can't see Cianwood, and there aren't any ferries leaving! Guess I have to send out someone to Surf me there. . . ."she sighed. "Well, it can't be that bad. . .hopefully. Besides the random Pokemon encounter and maybe a swimmer or two, there shouldn't be anything too tough to handle."
Little did Arisa know, those 'one or two swimmers' would turn out to be a good ten or so, sadly enough.
"Yeah, I might wanna take a leaf out of some wise dude's book and take something grass or electric with me. . . ."she decided, wondering if she had any such types. "Hmm, didn't I catch that Mareep earlier near Violet City? Ah, it's only a low level one, too! Dang... Well, guess I'll just have to deal with what I have."
Heading back towards the Pokemon Center (which was right behind her since she was attempting to see how far she would need to go), the doors slid open and she walked over to the PC, clicking upon Bill's sotrage system and entering her password. Upon entering, she scanned through her different storage boxes for a good water type that could endure a long swim across the water.
"Hm, Staryu doesn't seem like a good idea... Aah, let's see here.... I heard there were Lapras calls coming from Union Cave. I could probably hitch a ride back there and see if that sucker's there. Or.... Naw. Ah! Here's a nice one! I can just hitch a ride on this Gyarados I caught earlier! ....Oh, hope it isn't too violent."
With that decided, the stored one of her Pokemon in the box (with a goodbye of 'Sorry, Pidgeotto!") and withdrew her Gyrados.
"I can't believe I forgot this thing!"she laughed to herself, jogging outside and sending the dragon-like swimmer out. With a roar it appeared in a flash from the PokeBall, looking quite menacing and scaring a few nearby pedestrians.
"Wow..."Arisa muttered. "Hey there, Gyrados! Remember me?"
"Grooaaarr!"Gyrados cried out, causing a few civilians to whimper and duck into nearby buildings out of fear. Arise chuckled and grinned sheepishly at a few hard glares sent her way.
"Well, anyway, I have this HM here, and I need to do a real big favor if I want to get a badge, y'know?"she asked Gyrados, tilting her head to the side slightly and waiting for a response.
"Grooor?"Gyrados inquired.
"There's this sick Pokemon. I need to go down to Cianwood to get the right medicine. The trick is, I have no Pokemon who can Surf that far. And, if I want to battle Jasmine for my next badge, I have to get that medicine. So, willing to learn Surf for a greater cause?"Arisa asked, holding out the mentioned HM. "Trust me, it isn't as bad as it looks, or so Quilava and all the others say."
"Gyraaa. . . ."Gyrados paused, acting quite docile compared to others of its species, before bending down to allow Arisa to use the HM upon him.
"Oh, I knew you'd understand! You're so nice!"Arisa squealed, hugging Gyrados before stepping back and setting down the HM, beginning to boot it up while attaching a couple of wires to Gyrados. The machine kicked up, some of its lights flashing, and it listed the moves Gyrados knew. Arisa scanned over them and quickly decided to remove 'Splash' from the list. Worthless move...
The HM whirred and, before you knew it, a bright flash went off, temporarily blinding the two. When it faded, Gyrados looked a bit dazed, but shook his head and quickly regained the normal look. Arisa grinned and took the wires off, stufing the HM into its compact form again before putting it away.
Gyrados leaned down again to allow Arisa onto his back before taking off across the waters at an easy rate.
"Remember, avoid any and all swimmers. We don't want to get into a battle, now do we?"Arisa said, patting Gyrados gentley.
"Gyraa....."
-~*^--^*~-
"Wow, look at those islands, Gyrados! Hm, we should check those out when we get the chance, eh?"Arisa asked lazily, pointing to the silhouettes of four islands off in the distance.
Night was falling, and Arisa was slowly drifting off. It's not like one could blame the girl for doing so; he gentle sound of the waves and the rocking motion of Gyrados made one slightly sleepy, especially in the silence of the night. Arisa's yes drooped slightly, and her grip on Gyrados loosened slightly.
Gyrados, on the other hand, was wide awake. Adjusting himself so that his trainer would stay on even after dozing into a light slumber, he moved slightly faster so they would arrive at the place Arisa had said they would in an hour or so.
Arisa smiled soflty as she fell into a heavy slumber, snuggling into Gyrados.
-~*^--^*~-
Arisa awoke to the sound of some gulls chirping off in the distance, and smiled slightly, stretching and looking around to find herself in a nice, warm bed.
'Did Gyrados make it all the way to Cianwood last night?'she pondered, sititng up and rubbing the sleep from her eyes, climbing out of bed to check if that was so.
Grabbing some clothes,she went into the bathroom to change and freshen up, hoping to get a nice start to her day, unlike yesterday where she met Eill.
Shutting the door behind her, she turned on the water in the shower, checking to make sure the temperature was right.
-~*^--^*~-
Arisa tugged a loose, plain maroon shirt over her head, thus completing her time in the bathroom. She opened the door, folding her hair into a towel to help it dry faster.
Entering the room, she found some of her Pokemon had come out on their own will. She grinned at them and ruffled Quilava's fur as she walked by, enjoying the warm sensation that eminated from him.
"So, since I assume Gyrados was kind enough to bring us here in the middle of the night, I say we go down and bring him a nice, big breakfast!"Arisa cheered, pulling her hair from her towel and rubbing it dry.
Her other Pokemon agreed whole-heartedly and she smiled.
"Well, let me get ready first and we can head, down, okay?"
-~*^--^*~-
I'm considering doing a sequel to this fic once I'm done. I'm not exactly sure, though. It's VERY sketchy. It'll be on some blood relative of Arisa's ending up in the time period of the Hoenn game adventures. Bleah.
Anywho, I'm happy. Just a few more days 'till spring break starts. Ooh, I can't wait!! I can finally sleep in!! Yes!
Well, I'll be going now. I hope everyone enjoyed the chapter. I'll try to make the next one longer, okay?
