Chapter 24: Rock On Dude!
The sun smiled down on the golden beaches of Eagle Island, a small and very unknown island. Tyson figured an island as secretive as this would be perfect for training! While the boat stopped in the water, Kamme was fixing up some food for the two boys, who stomachs growled like a Charizard. However, their roaring tummies didn't stop the two surfers...
"DUDE!" Tyson jumped up from Dustin's story of the previous gym fight.
"And then Wartortle and Charmeleon won!" Dustin winked. "Now I have all four badges, and soon it's to the Orange Crew Leader!" his lips curved up and his teeth sparkled in the island breeze.
"Dude, I can't believe you're all done with the Orange Crew Leaders!" Tyson replied, his eyes also shimmering with amazement and glee for his best friend's accomplishments. "This is so going to rock! We'll train as soon as lunch is done..." he turned his eyes into Kamme's direction.
"I'm trying," she hastily countered as she put together another peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Tossing the meal on a platter of other sandwiches, all recently made on Eagle Island. "You know, I think all you two so owe me! Think of the trouble you'd be in if it wasn't for me!"
"Oh, you know you had fun with us," Dustin chuckled. "Plus, if it wasn't for us you wouldn't have a Milotic on your team," he gave her a thumbs up mixed with a cheerful and playful wink.
"If it wasn't for ME," Tyson corrected. "I'm the one who bought all the PokeBlocks..." he sighed. "But I did loose the bet...anyways I think I've had the most fun in my life with you guys."
"I have had fun..." her cheeks flushed with a bright red color, "Even though I don't like admitting it..." she dropped her head and cupped her hands, "But I wish it wouldn't have to end...at least not now."
"Don't talk about the end," Dustin replied, after standing up, gold sand rolling down his shorts. "We still have a lot of time together. Plus, you two have to come to Johto with me, you so got to meet Jen and Shane! We can all go on a Pokemon adventure!" he gripped his hands with determination.
"Sounds awesome!" Tyson gleamed.
"Totally," Kamme brought her head up and revealed a newly found smile. "I'd love to meet Jen and Shane, we've heard so much good about them."
"Especially about Jen," Tyson nudged Dustin with his elbow.
"Uh...-uh –yeah," Dustin's face flashed a brilliant red, one that could counter a Magmar's skin color. "She's great, she's –uh...Jen!" he slowly brought himself down to sit on the sand, waving off the ideas from the other two.
"It's fine Dustin," Kamme giggled after sitting down by Tyson, placing the sandwich filled plate in front of the others. "It's totally normal to like someone," she giggled a little bit more as the two boys filled their mouths with the food.
Tyson looked around himself, trying to find something, but was having some trouble.
"What are you looking for?" Kamme asked after picking up Tyson's problem. "Did you lose something?"
"I thought I had a bottle of water here, but I can't find it," he replied. "Is there any left on the boat?"
"Nope," Dustin answered, "I took the last one the other day," he sweat- dropped. "But I read on the PokeGear there is a spring around here, I can get some bottles and fill them up with the water from there." He quickly cheered up.
"Ok," Kamme nodded. "There are some bottles in the boat, get three of them. Tyson and I will go get some more fruit," she said after viewing all the sandwiches had already been eaten.
"We'll meet back up in twenty minuets," Tyson announced after standing back up. He looked over at Dustin and smiled, "We'll have our practice battles then," he nodded in sync with Dustin.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Dustin followed the map projected on his PokeGear through the lush jungle. The sun shone down through the openings in the trees, the fresh sunshine danced on his skin as the wild bird Pokemon chirped in the background.
"Where is the water..." he asked the PokeGear, though he knew he wasn't about to get a reply from the machine.
He walked around some more, but still no luck. "Oh well..." he sighed and then looked up at the sunshine, "The view is nice," he finally smiled back at the open blue sky.
He glanced at the clock on the device. 'Fifteen more minuets left...' he thought, 'Plenty of time...' he propped himself against a tree and sat down. "Ah, this is the life!" he admitted after crossing his arms behind his back and kicking back against the brown tree.
"Plus," a squeaky voice chirped.
"Min!" another followed, just as squeaky.
'What was that?' he asked himself, but quickly decided not to worry about it.
"Plus! Plus! Min! Min!" the two voices chirped happily in unison.
"It sounds close," he listened once more, trying to affirm the location of the voices. When he finally caught it he made a move. With a swift shift he turned around and saw two mice like figures, one with blue and the other red.
"Plus! Min!" the two Pokemon stared up at Dustin with sparkling eyes.
"DUDE!" Dustin flipped out his Pokedex and scanned the two figures.
"Plusle and Minun," Devon began. "These two Electric type Pokemon work together as teams. While one is fighting the other one cheers on its partner. These two Pokemon are very docile and enjoy playing around." The dex shut off and Dustin put it back up.
"These dudes are cool!" he bent down and smiled back at the two Pokemon, who chirped happily in perfect harmony back at Dustin.
"Plus! Plus!" one playful sparked out white lightning.
"Min! Min!" the other one clapped its hands for its partner.
Dustin had his face lit up, full of joy and excitement as both Pokemon played together, one charging and the other one playfully clapping, both Pokemon had huge smiles on their small faces.
"AGG!" a mighty roar echoed through the hallow trees.
"Plus! Min!" the two Pokemon latched onto each other in a hug, both sparking up little white thunderbolts.
"Huh?" Dustin questioned as he stood up. 'That sounded like an Aggron,' he thought about the Steel/Rock type tyrant.
"GRON!" the voice replied, assuring Dustin's hunch.
"Plus! Min! Plus! Min!" the two Pokemon's grip on each other increased in tightness. More sparks came flying from their cheeks as heavy stomps occupied the ground around them, followed by Aggron's roars.
"Aggron!" a harmonic, yet stern voice called from the forest.
The stomps and the roars stopped all of a sudden. Before Dustin and the two Pokemon could catch themselves a male figure along with an Aggron walked out of the wooded area and into sight.
"Plus! Min!" the two Pokemon ran up towards the figure and his Aggron. "Min! Plus!" both Electric Pokemon climbed up the male's body and took a seat on each shoulder, now the mice were calmed down.
"Thank you," the guy nodded at Dustin. He looked to be around seventeen or eighteen, with spiky brown and dyed blonde hair. His height and built was similar to Tyson's. He wore a pair of rugged blue jeans, a black vintage tee shirt and some punk-rocker type bracelets around both wrists. His deep green eyes matched his emerald shoes perfectly. The guy was in fact some type of rock musician.
"Plus! Min!" the two whispered in the guy's ears.
He nodded at his Pokemon and then talked to Dustin, "My Pokemon said you helped them," he smiled gleefully, "Thanks, man." He gave a thumb up, "My name is Ryan, what's yours?"
"I'm Dustin," he responded. "Nice to meet you."
"Dustin?" he echoed the name. "Your name is Dustin?" he laughed, "No way! I just saw two friends of mine, who I haven't seen in forever, and they said they had a guy traveling with them named Dustin!"
"Was it Tyson and Kamme?"
"Yep," he scratched the back of his spiky haired head. "Believe it or not," he grinned at the irony, "We're traveling partners!"
"We are?" Dustin drew a question mark.
"Yep," he chuckled. "I live on the same island as Kamme, in fact my mom and her mom are best friends. You guys are taking me home when your done with your journey." He sighed, "My poor Lapras is so old, he just barely made it to this island."
"DUDE!" Dustin smiled.
"I was looking for Plusle and Minun," he laughed a little, "These little guys ran off when I was napping. They're very mischievous, always looking for trouble," he pet both of them. "And this is my Aggron," he introduced the Steel/Rock type Pokemon.
"Awesome!" Dustin added. "So are Kamme and Tyson looking for me?"
"They're waiting, they've already found the fruit. My stuff is already on the boat," he affirmed, "Did you get some water." He looked down at the empty bottles and cupped his hands over his mouth, trying to hold back the laughter.
"Oh yeah..." he sweat-dropped.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Dustin and his new friend and travel partner Ryan walked back onto the beach, water bottles filed and smiles on faces. Plusle and Minun, along with Aggron, had all been returned back into their Pokeballs.
"So I see you already met Ryan," Kamme concluded.
"Yep," Ryan and Dustin nodded together.
"Cool," Tyson finished. "So Dustin," he enlarged a Pokeball, "Ready for our battle?"
"You bet!" Dustin enlarged a Pokeball of his own and smiled.
And so the training begins! And a new friend is added on their journey through the Orange Islands! But will Dustin get enough training in before the final battle with the Orange Crew Leader? Only time will tell. In order to find out, keep reading Pokemon Charged!
DONE! Hope you liked Ryan; he is the final of the traveling partners. So Ryan will be in all the chapters from now on! And more will be explains about his past in the next chapter. Well I'll do reviews in the next chapter
