Chapter 22: An Island Picnic!
The sun arose in the morning, scattering it's multi-colored rays of bright reds, yellows and dark oranges onto the serene ocean blue, casting a powerful and gorgeous view for our trios as they continue on their boat journey to their next adventure...
"It's beautiful," Kamme held up the Silver Feather up in the sky. Its silver tone was reflected by the red and yellow sunrays, scattering out and around the boat, washing everyone in the boat's face with a spread of yellow and orange.
"It is amazing," Tyson ran a finger down the creases in the shimmering feather before returning his hands to the steering wheel and focusing on the ocean at hand. "It's such a rare artifact, being a true feather from Lugia!"
"And a feather my ancestors, the ancient people of the Orange Islands, have kept sacred every since they first saw the mighty halcyon!" Kamme said as she brought the feather back around her neck, causing the sunrays in the boat to fade away.
"So your grandfather is ok, right?" Dustin propped himself down on the wall of the boat, holding his legs with his arms and yawning some. "I mean, he is ok with everything and the legend and all..."
Kamme just sighed with a mixture of sweat-dropping. "He's fine with it Dustin..."
"So where to next gang?" Tyson asked in his captain like voice. He scratched his head and uneasily smiled after his non-laughable joke, "Seriously...dude where are we going today? Are we stopping somewhere?"
"Hm..." Dustin sat back up and pulled out his PokeGear. With a few touches of the button a generated holographic map formed of the Orange Islands, a red dot indicated the boat's location on the vast sea. "Hm..." he viewed the map and found only one small island near them, "There is one small island..." he clicked on it and found out more information, "It's called Lagoon Island."
"Lagoon Island?!" Kamme latched onto Tyson's right arm, grabbing and squeezing with everything she had while her dark eyes filled up with bright yellow stars, "LAGOON ISLAND!?" she gasp in awe before falling down in disbelief.
Dustin blinked twice in complete and otter confusion.
She quickly picked herself back up and wiped the dust off of her shorts. Cupping her hands as her eyes reverted back into stars as her heart soared and voice became that of a child, "LAGOON ISLAND IS THE MOST ROMANTIC PLACE IN THE WORLD!" she calmed down some after realizing Dustin was right there, "I mean –uh..." her previous explosion died down, "I think we should have a –er....um...picnic there! Yeah a picnic...that would be fun...and a break from this –uh boat!"
Dustin put up the PokeGear and jerked up his right hand in victory, "And I could get in some training!" he grinned, "Lagoon Island is famous for having the largest lagoon in the Orange Islands! Perfect for training with Squirtle!" he winked.
"Then it's settled!" Kamme grinned, "I'll start packing the food right now! When we get there we'll eat and train and uh..." from the corner of her eyes she found a smile curving up from Tyson's lips. "So anyways, let's get going!"
Tyson revved up the boat engine and brought up the speed of the aquatic vehicle, blasting up waves in its wake and disturbing the serene ocean. "To Lagoon Island it is!" he grinned in triumph as the boat sped on to the next location.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Dustin walked off of the boat with nothing in his hands; he had left all his other belonging on the boat, besides his dex, which was concealed in his pocket. He stood in awe as his brown eyes met with the golden sun- kissed ocean shore, an empty and almost private ocean shore!
Kamme took a step with each passing thirty seconds, as her face couldn't be seen because of all the packing of food she had done. "Uh...Dustin..." she gritted from her teeth as she tried to keep balance, "Could you... -please help me here..."
Dustin turned around and found Kamme about to fall over. "Oops!" he ran up to the girl and grabbed some of the food.
Tyson walked off with the key in his pocket as the other two placed their entire food on the grassy area right above the beach and crystal blue lagoon. He met up with the other two and sat down next to Kamme, a smile burning his face.
"Let's eat!" Dustin rudely blurted out as he ravaged his hands through a bag and pulled out some pineapple. "YUMMIE!" he gorged his mouth into the yellow fruit and annihilated the piece of sweet fruit. "Delicious!" he smiled as pineapple juice and seeds piled up around his mouth.
"This is a delicious orange," Kamme elegantly placed the orange into her mouth and chewed without making a sound, she swallowed and looked over at Tyson, "Would you like some coconut Tyson?"
Dustin raised an eyebrow in surprise and suspicion.
Kamme turned around and saw Dustin with the awkward look on his face. 'Oh great...' she thought to herself, 'He knows about me and Tyson...I guess I made it pretty obvious...' without further thought she asked Dustin about his look, "What's the matter Dustin?"
"Ah ha!" Dustin jumped up from his sitting position. "I knew it!" he pointed at Kamme, "Trying to keep it a secret!" he glared into Kamme's eyes, "YOU DIDN'T TELL ME YOU HAD COCONUT!?"
Kamme fell over anime-style, half in relief and half in surprise at Dustin's own stupidity. "You caught me..." she sweat-dropped once picking herself back up. "You sure are smart Dustin..." the sarcasms practically fell from her tongue, however Dustin was too dense to catch the joke.
Tyson finished eating a piece of Hawaiian sweet roll before standing up. "So Dustin, how about a practice battle right next to the ocean? Let's say only Water type Pokemon allowed?" he grinned, "It'll be great for your training."
Dustin jerked up his Diveball and enlarged it, "You're on!"
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
"Go Swampert!" Tyson chunked his Pokeball and from the white light merged the final evolution of the Mudkip line.
"Squirtle you're up dude!" Dustin called out the Tiny Turtle Pokemon.
Both amphibians formed right where the ocean cracked up onto the golden shore. The two aquatic Pokemon glared daggers into each other as they taunted back and forth in their own language, waiting for commands to attack.
"Go Swampert!" Tyson commanded, "Mud Shot now!"
"Use a Protect!"
"Swamp!" the Mud Fish Pokemon inhaled a large amount of oxygen, "ERT!" he exhaled a thick jet of nasty and murky mud, however Squirtle ducked into his shell and reflected the mud into a different direction.
"Great job dude!" Dustin congratulated, "Now use an Ice Beam!"
"Ice Beam Swampert!"
Both Pokemon inhaled and exhaled at about the same time, bellowing out baby blue beams of ice and colliding in the middle, pushing each other and freezing the air particles around them, eventually both moves died down and left both Squirtle and Swampert tired and panting, trying to quickly recover for their next command.
"Use a Toxic Swampert!"
"Use Protect one more time!"
"Swampert!" he yelled, blowing chunks of purple ooze, however Squirtle curled up in his shell and spun around, deflecting the purple ooze into other directions before he stopped and landed with a grin on his face, causing Swampert to get angry.
"Build off your anger Swampert!" Tyson declared, "Use Frustration!"
Squirtle had got on the Mud Fish Pokemon's last nerve, and through the intense anger the Water/Ground type attacked. Running up to Squirtle and smashing his hand-like fin into the Tiny Turtle's face, throwing Squirtle back a few feet. The hit released Swampert's anger as his face became cooler and collect once more.
"Now finish with a Hyper Beam!" Tyson finally announced.
"Swamp!" the Mud Fish Pokemon took up some time to collect the energy remanding in his body, forging all the energy into a ball cupping his mouth, "ERT!" he shot out the beam in a flash of yellow and orange, cracking into Squirtle and causing the Tiny Turtle Pokemon to fall to his back with swirls for eyes, completely knocked out. "Swampert!" he grinned with victory.
"Great job Swampert," Tyson smiled and withdrew his Pokemon, putting up the Pokeball. "Good battle Dustin," he genuinely admitted.
"Thanks, you too," Dustin said as he bent down and pulled Squirtle to him. "You did good dude," he said to Squirtle. "Now for a rest," he grabbed his Diveball but was interrupted...
"Tle..." Squirtle conjured up the remanding energy left into him to develop his body into a white glow.
"He's evolving!" Kamme and Tyson said in shock.
The Tiny Turtle Pokemon was replaced as his tail split and ear like figures formed on his head, his size grew and his voice got deeper, once the light died down Squirtle was replaced by his higher form, Wartortle. "War! War! Tortle!" he jumped up and down with victory.
"Dude!" Dustin hugged his new Pokemon, "You evolved! This rocks!"
"He must been wanting to evolve," Tyson commented, "That battle only fueled his desire more, seems the outcome of the battle triggered the final chain and now you have a Wartortle, congratulations Dustin."
"Thanks," he smiled and then pulled out his dex, scanning over his newest Pokemon addition.
"Wartortle," Devon began analyzing, "The Turtle Pokemon, after evolving from Squirtle Wartortle gains more speed in the water with the additions of its fin like ears and wavy tail. Wartortle also gains a more powerful bite, like its previous form Wartortle can spray heavy amounts of water through its mouth."
Dustin put the dex back into his pocket. "Dude! This totally rocks!"
"I hate to bust up this moment," Kamme said with a true smile on her face, "But we still have some cake left, it's double chocolate with vanilla frosting and cherry filling, I bought it back a few islands ago," she winked.
"CAKE!" Dustin zoomed off into the direction of the cake, leaving a trail of sandy dust behind him.
"TOR! TOR! WAR! WAR! TOR! TOR! WAR! WAR! TLE! TLE!" Wartortle ran after his master, also wanting a piece of cake for stomach. "TLE! TLE! TLE! WAR!" he threw his blue legs in the same direction of his owner.
"Like trainer like Pokemon..." Kamme laughed.
"I guess so," Tyson replied. He put his hand over Kamme's and smiled at her, leaning down and giving her a small kiss, something Dustin once again didn't see and probably never would figure out.
DONE! I needed a chapter to let Squirtle evolve, and this was it! Now Dustin has Wartortle! Yeah! Yeah! Go Dustin! Go Dustin! Lol, but seriously I do like Wartortle, anyways this chapter was kind of short and kind of pointless, but o well, lol. I'll do reviews next chapter, I DOUBLE-TRIPLE promise
