If you want the disclaimer, see the beginning of the story. By the way, I forgot to say that Dragonball Z isn't mine, but since the only mention of it will in be chapter 1, it doesn't really matter that much.
"Where No Pokemon Trainer Has Gone Before"
Chapter 2: The Skunk
Felix groaned, and rolled over in the grass. {Great, I rolled off my sleeping pad again} she thought sleepily. {Oh well, I will just do without for once}, and she crossed her arms to use them as a pillow.
Something warm and smooth was in her head.
Bleary eyed, she looked at the smooth thing and found she had a pokeball in her hand. "Huh?" she said aloud, trying to sort through her fog-and-sleep-covered mind. "Is this one mine?" she looked down at her belt and saw only five of her six pokeballs. "Yeah, this one is mine, but how did it get into my hand?" She looked around and saw her backpack lying nearby, with her sleeping pad tied *on* to it. "This isn't making any sense," she said aloud, trying to draw some ideas from the sound of her voice. "How could I forget to unroll my sleeping pad?" She looked around some more and something penetrated the fog covering her brain.
She was in the middle of a field, with tall trees all around her. But that wasn't what caught her attention. The leaves covering the trees were a mixture of colors: green, yellow, red, and brown. The trees were the right color for autumn. But the last time she checked, it was spring.
Felix looked at her pokegear, to check the date, and a flood of memories returned to her.
The angel... above Mount Moon... calling her mom... the bolt of lightning... the black spot... being sucked into the sky... and then... nothing.
So that was it. She had been sucked into that... that black hole. She was somewhere else. {On the other side of the world, or some place else entirely} Felix shivered. This was like something out of a Saturday morning cartoon show. {But that is impossible!} she thought. {So are angels...} echoed her brother's voice.
Angrily, she thrust that thought away, reattached the pokeball to her belt, and started punching in a phone number into her pokegear. She stopped pushing buttons when she realized she wasn't hearing the beeps normally associated with pushing buttons.
Felix examined the pokegear more closely. It appeared to be off. She flicked it a few times with her finger, but when it didn't turn back on, she sighed deeply in frustration and took it off her wrist. {I'll get it examined in the next town,} she decided, and dumped it in her backpack.
[Author's Note: I guess Felix's mother never told her to turn off all electronic equipment in an electro-magnetic storm :) ]
With one more look around, she left the meadow.
After trudging around for several minutes, Felix realized something: she was completely and utterly lost.
In every direction she looked, all she saw were trees. If there were mountains or rivers out there, she couldn't see them with the thick forest around her. Felix heaved a big sigh and looked up to the white wisps of clouds in the blue sky. "Too bad I can't fly," she said aloud. She paused in thought. "I can't fly, but one of my pokemon can! Go, Magnetite!"
A metal sphere with magnets on two sides appeared out of its pokeball. "Magnetite"
"Fly up high and look around for some sort of path in the forest, like a road, or a river."
Wordlessly, Magnetite floated upwards, above the trees. It slowly turned around, examining the layout of the forest. Then it paused, and bounced up and down in the air. "Magnetite!" it cried.
"You found something?"
"Tite."
"Then come down here and lead the way!" Felix said enthusiastically.
Magnetite descended to about head-level for Felix and moved swiftly away. Felix followed at a jog.
They had been making good time, and Felix was starting to hear the barest sounds of water running up ahead when she saw something that made her call out to her floating friend, "Magnetite, wait up!"
"Tite?"
"Ssshhhh." Felix put a finger to her lips, and then pointed to something standing a few meters away. She pulled out her pokedex, turned it on, and pointed it at the strange creature.
"No pokemon detected." The pokedex replied.
"Huh?" the confused Felix said, "then what is it?" She took a close look at the creature.
It was about 60 cm long, including its tail. It stood on four short, stubby feet. The top part of it was white, while the sides and (from what she could tell) its belly were black. Its face was some what like that of a Furret, except that its ears were smaller, and its nose was pulled out from its face a little bit. It was calmly chewing on some sort of meat, while keeping Felix in the corner of its eye.
"Well, it looks like a pokemon; therefore I might as well as try and catch it!" Felix pulled out her empty pokeball and threw it at the animal. The pokeball hit... and bounced off, not opening up. The animal was knocked to the ground by the blow, but quickly got back up and started hissing at Felix. Then it turned its back of Felix and raised its tail.
"Is it signaling that it wants to fight some more?" Felix wondered. Then some sort of mist came out from its behind and hit Felix...
"Eewww! I think I'm going to-" *insert throw-up sounds here*
While Felix puked out the last remains of her dinner, the animal seized hold of its supper, and dragged it away from the scene of the crime.
Felix wiped away the throw-up from her lips and said, weakly, "Magnetite? Be glad that you don't have a sense of smell."
She stood up unsteadily, and holding her nose, she told magnetite, "Take me to the river, I need a bath more than ever!"
Not daring to say anything, for fear of laughing and making his trainer mad at him, Magnetite led Felix towards the sound of rushing water.
I think that went pretty well. I doubt Felix will be fighting skunks any time soon again. I got the idea of this scene from the book "Sojourn" by R. A. Salvatore when Drizzt reaches the surface after spending so long in the Underdark. Hmmm... maybe I should have Felix run into Drizzt... nahhh, I won't do that. At least, not in this story...
*insert evil laughter here*
