Normal P.O.V
Behind them, a pair of eyes was watching. Mewtwo had stayed a little longer than the others to make sure the trainer was safe. He heard the young Eevee's doubt and the young trainer's reply and grinned.
'Stay safe, Megan. You will be needed soon.' With that thought, he Teleported back to Mount Quena, the trainer and her Pokémon not knowing he was there.
Megan's P.O.V. again
I woke up to the sound of Shinrai and another Eevee. I looked at my watch. It was 9:27 in the morning. "Normal people like to SLEEP IN in the morning! Especially if they were woken up at the ungodly hour of two a.m.!" I called out sleepily. I heard a familiar voice say something and I sensed someone come towards the tent. It was Shinrai. She looked happy.
"Meg, there's this nice girl out here with a blue-eyed Eevee. She said that she knows you!" she said really quickly. I stared at her for a moment, trying to process all that she said.
"Say that again, slower please?" She repeated it and I sensed someone making their way towards us. I got up and looked outside to see one of my friends. "I was woken up at TWO IN THE MORNING, Alex. NORMAL people like to SLEEP then. NORMAL people are not up and going at THREE. Give me an hour to be ready." I put on my glasses and got dressed.
"Funny, I WAS up at three." I heard Alex murmur. I went outside the tent and saw Alex trying to cook a decent breakfast. TRYING being the keyword there.
"Skooch over. I can at least make pancakes." I said. She had at least made a good-sized fire. Trust Alex to be a fire-starter. After breakfast, we started to travel again.
"So how'd you get here and where are you going?" I asked her.
"I dunno, it was weird. I went to sleep in my bed at home and the next thing I knew, a Jolteon was waking me up in a hotel room. I almost had a heart attack. My mom was almost crying when I left the room and almost wouldn't let me go. I had WAY too many questions for her to answer, so I just went with the flow. Scary thing was, I ran into a Pichu on my way and I could understand it! Just like the Jolteon! I was heading to Pallet Town. When I heard from the Cerulean Sisters that Misty had to lead a newbie to there, I decided to meet them. I didn't know that I already knew them." She said to me.
"You were in Cerulean? I was in Saffron and I had an Espeon wake me up. My mom was like yours and I could understand her Espeon. I'm heading to Pewter; I wanna meet and beat Brock. It would break his heart, to be beaten by a girl that he most likely will try to ask out." I said.
"After this, I'm going to Viridian to try to meet the Joys and Jennys."
"I met the Joys already. Ha ha, just a day here and I'm already a step ahead of you. How many Pokémon have you caught?"
"I only have Kitsune." She pointed at the Eevee.
"Ha, make that two steps ahead. I have Kaze and Shinrai."
"Damn you."
"Thanks. Well, I'll see you... sometime. Let's try to meet in Celadon, ok? Here, gimme your cell number for your Gear." She wrote it down and I gave her mine.
"Done. See ya!" Alex and I went in separate directions. I headed north to Pewter while she headed south to Viridian.
"So did you like my friend?" I asked Shinrai later.
"Yes, even though she was a little hyper."
"What about Kitsune?"
"He was a little quiet."
"Well, let's get to Pewter. I wanna see if Brock took back the Gym or if his father kept it." We walked until we came to a building in the middle of the road. We went through and were stopped by a woman.
"Oh, you're completing a PokéDex? Here this will help." She said as she handed me a small box labeled 'TM 12'. I looked at her.
"Sweet scent, right?" I asked. Then I remembered something. "Wait... Aren't you supposed to be in Ilex Forest in Johto?" The woman faltered.
"Yes, but... I moved here since nobody went through since that Ash boy... Well, I hope you like that TM!" she said. I walked off feeling rather creeped out by that woman. We walked until I spotted the buildings of Pewter City in the distance.
"Yes! We're almost there!" I cried, jumping up and down. Have you ever noticed that whenever something goes right, something else happens that's bad? Cliché time! Boom! The ground beneath us collapsed and we fell into a hole.
"Now, why does this seem so familiar? Ah, yes." I mumbled as I stood up. Shinrai jumped onto my shoulder. "Nothing like the classics, huh, Jessie? Sorry, but I'm a rookie. Nothing good on me yet." I called out to the surrounding foliage. I heard a bush rustle and a twig snap. But nothing else. Sighing, I closed my eyes and tried to use the sensing powers the Mewtwo gave me. Nope, a Bug. Nope, a Bird. There! Two humans and a Cat behind that bush. I climbed out of the hole; they didn't make it deep, I noticed; and walked over to the bush.
"She had a point, Jess. She wouldn't have anything because she's a rookie." I heard James's voice say.
"Jimmy's right. Dis here girl would only have da basics." Came Meowth's voice.
"I don't care. She would at least have SOMEHTING on her. That Eevee would be good for the Boss, too." Jessie said.
"You have a point there." James said.
"Are you three going to just sit there all day or are you at least going to ask me where Ash and Misty went?" I said. The three jumped at my voice. I know because the bush literally came a foot off the ground.
I recalled Shinrai for safety measures and turned to Team Rocket. They were climbing out of the bush. Please note that it was the smallest one in a huge clump of big ones. And that it was made from a large cardboard box with fake twis and leaves glued to it.
"Just give us dat Eevee and nobody gets hoit." Meowth said. He held up a bazooka-like thing. I recognized it as the freezer-bazooka that they used in Cinnabar Gym.
"Not on your last life." He lowered the blaster in surprise.
"How'd yous know that I only had one life left?"
"Quote: 'Sorry, Jess, but the last time you cooked, you wiped out eight of my nine lives.' Unquote." That was when Jessie got a good look at me.
"She... She's... gorgeous." Jessie whispered.
"What?! No, I'm not. I'm not pretty." I said. James and Meowth stood off the side, forgotten.
"Yes, you are! Your hair falls perfectly; sure, your figure's off, but your eyes are centered and your glasses only make them look more violet than they really are. You, girl, are beautiful." Jessie said. I just stared.
"Um, Jessie, since when did you become concerned with the looks of trainers?" I asked. When she didn't answer, I started to edge away.
"I'm just going to...leave now." I looked at Meowth.
"They are in Vermilion." I told him. Then I ran for it. I ran until I couldn't sense Team Rocket anymore. I stopped near a stream and let out Shinrai.
"Thank you! I hate that thing!" she said.
"C'mon. I wanna make it to Pewter by lunch at least." I said. Then I remembered something. WHY did I not hear a Team Rocket motto? I'll ponder that later. We walked until we reached the city. I led the way to the Pokémon Center. That's when the though crossed my mind. I pulled out Dextra.
"Dextra, give me the levels of Kaze and Shinrai." I commanded.
"Butterfree, level 13. Eevee, level 12." My PokeDex replied. I thought. It was good enough to beat Brock, but I would need more to really get at him. Oh, well. So long as I beat him, I was happy. I had just walked out of the Center with Shinrai on my shoulder when I spotted something in a bush. I pushed aside the leaves to see-
"A Rare Candy? Just my luck!" I pulled it out of the bush and gave it to Shinrai. Dextra beeped.
"Eevee has grown to level 13. Bite is now learned."
"Wow." I commented.
"Do you want to get to the Gym or not?" Shinrai asked.
"Yeah, c'mon." We walked until we came to a building that looked like it was made of boulders. "I guess this is it?" I said.
"I think so. Open the door and see if the Leader is there." I did so. The room was dark, but I managed to see a figure in a corner.
"Hey, are you the Leader?" The figure said nothing but walked out of the shadows. It was Brock. He took one look at me and went all lovey-dovey.
"Hey! Can I get your name, address, email, phone number, and anything else you'd like to tell me?!" he cried.
"If you beat me in a Gym battle, I may give you my address. The name's Megan." I said.
"Ah, the name of an angel! Tell me, fair lady, to what do I owe this fated meeting?!" He asked as he took my hand. I shot a death-glare at Shinrai, who was laying on the floor laughing. I took back my hand.
"I. Want. A. Gym. Battle." I said slowly. "Well, I want to battle the LEADER."
"I am the Leader of this Gym. And I'd LOVE to battle a girl so pretty as you. Two on two sound alright to you, Megan?" Brock said, still in a lovey- dovey voice.
"Done. But stick to the Rocks, please."
"Deal..." The announcer/referee person came out and we took our places. I looked up near the ceiling and saw all of Brock's little siblings cheering him on. One girl in particular kept yelling things like
"Don't let this pretty girl beat you, Brocko! Beat her badly!" and "This girl's a pushover! Look, she has an EEVEE for god's sake!" Shinrai was about to step up when I stopped her.
"No, Shinrai; let Kaze handle this." I said quietly. She nodded and sat next to me.
"Geodude, go!" Brock called, throwing a PokéBall.
"Go, Kaze!" I released my Butterfree. My heart started to pound. I got all jumpy from adrenaline rush. My first real Trainer Battle!
"Begin!" called the ref.
"Geodude, tackle!"
"Dodge it, Kaze! Then use Sleep Powder!" Kaze flew up above Geodude as the rock went in for a tackle. The rock hit the floor again just as Kaze released the Sleep Powder spores. Geodude's eyes slowly closed. It was asleep.
"Geodude is unable to battle. Megan wins the first round!" came the referee's voice. I jumped. Wasn't a knockout a win? I was brought out of my thoughts when Brock called out his second Pokémon.
"Onix, go!"
"I'll stay with Kaze." My hands were trembling from adrenaline.
"Begin!"
"Kaze, Confusion!"
"Onix, Bide!" The butterfly gathered dark blue energy between her little hands. Onix's black body began to glow. Kaze shot off a ball of energy at Onix. The energy exploded on contact. The rock snake looked hurt by the blast but still absorbed some of it.
"Keep it up, Kaze! Confusion again!" Kaze shot off the ball, this time stronger than the last time. Onix wavered but held strong. It released the energy it absorbed at Kaze. Kaze fell from the air. I dug out a Potion and sprayed it on my Butterfree. Kaze got back up and the battle resumed. Onix looked beat.
"Kaze, one more Confusion! Full power!" I called. Kaze fired off the strongest ball of energy yet. Brock yelled something, but I didn't hear it. The energy hit Onix and the big snake fell. It didn't get back up.
"Onix is unable to battle! The match goes to Challenger Megan of Saffron!" called the ref.
"Alright Kaze! We won, uh huh, oh yeah, yep, yep, uh huh, we won, oh yeah!" I did a victory dance. Brock's oldest little sister came up to me.
"You beat our brother. Here is your Badge and TM 34." She said, handing me a small gray pin, a wad of cash, and a little black box. Then Brock walked up to me.
"Congratulations, Megan. Now... can I have your address?" he said hopefully.
"No, but the Nurse Joy in Viridian said that she could get her cousin here in Pewter to go out with you. She may not be able to, though." I replied. "I have to go. Pokémon to catch, Gym Leaders to beat. Next stop, Cerulean City." I waved to Brock and his siblings and recalled Kaze. I stood there for a moment before deciding to put my new Badge onto the inside of my jacket, like Ash did. Then Shinrai and I walked out of the Gym...
...Straight into an excited crowd of people. All at once they started to ask me questions about the battle, my Pokémon, and myself. My head started to ache dully.
"How did you win?"
"How many Pokémon do you have?"
"How old are you?"
"What's your name?"
"Where do you live?"
"What Pokémon types do you like the most?"
"Do you know any other Gym Leaders?"
"Do you have any brothers or sisters?"
"Who are your parents?"
"Do they know you won?"
One woman in particular yelled out, "Can you give us any beauty tips?" What is with these people saying that I'm pretty? My headache was getting worse from all the people closing in around me. A girl's mind can only take so much. Shinrai started to growl at the crowd and they backed away. My headache went down just a bit. It was almost funny; this little Eevee growling this little tiny growl and the crowd backing away from her.
In the corner of my vision, blurred slightly because of my glasses, I saw a shadow in the woods behind the Gym. I recognized the shadow as Suicune and grinned to myself. First sighting of the day, let's keep track. The reporters kept asking questions, so I answered some of them.
"My name is Megan; I'm fourteen; I only have two Pokémon; I used a Psychic attack to win; I live in Saffron; I know Misty of Cerulean, Brock, and Sabrina of Saffron, who's my cousin; I like Psychic types; and I have a smaller brother who I'm sending a Pokémon to soon. Anything else? No? Good, then I'll be on my way." I made my way out of the crowd. As I got farther away, my headache went away. Shinrai jumped on my shoulder and we went through town. As we walked, a little girl came up to us, her mother trailing behind.
"See, mama, I told you this is the girl who beat Brock!" she said.
"I'm sorry, she just insisted on talking to you." The girl's mother said.
"It's ok, not a problem." I replied. I turned to the little girl and kneeled down.
"Hey, what's your name? My name's Megan." I asked her.
"My name's Katrina!" the girl said cheerfully. "Can I pet your Eevee?" I looked at Shinrai.
"Shin?" I murmured. Shinrai hopped off of my shoulder and walked to Katrina.
"Katrina, this is Shinrai."
"Nice to meet you, Shin-rai." Katrina said.
"Nice to meet you too. But I have to stay with my trainer, if you don't mind." Shinrai said.
"I wish I knew what you were saying..." Katrina said sadly.
"She said 'Nice to meet you too, but I have to stay with my trainer.' Look, Katrina, we have to go." I picked up Shinrai.
"Aw... bye-bye, Shin-rai! Bye-bye, Megan!" The girl and her mother walked away. Shinrai and I walked until we got to the forest. I checked my watch. 12:32 pm.
"Shin, you hungry?" I said.
"Not really, why?" Shinrai said.
"Then we'll keep going." I said. We walked for about an hour until we came to a fork in the road.
"Damn, I don't remember which way to go to get to Mt. Moon!" I said. "And there's nobody here but a few Pokémon. God—" Then what I just said sunk in. "The Pokémon! How stupid am I?! I could ask the Pokémon for help!" I said. I recalled Shinrai and climbed up the nearest tree. As soon as I got up into it, I started to root through the nearest branches, hoping to find a Pidgey or a Weedle or something that could help me out. I felt a very strong presence near me but figured it was Suicune checking up on me. It was then a branch to my left started to rustle. I edged closer to it and moved aside the leaves...
...To stare into a pair of huge blue eyes on a pink face.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" I yelled. I lost my balance on the branch and fell. Keep in mind that I was at least twenty feet up. I fell to the ground, hitting random branches as I went. As I was about to hit the ground, a bright pink bubble formed under me. I bounced off of it and landed softly on the ground. The bubble popped and I heard an insane giggling laughing sound. It sounded vaguely familiar...
A pink Pokémon popped out of the tree I was just in. I got a good look at it and I stared. It had a long tail and short arms. Its bright blue eyes were sparkling with insane happiness.
"Mew. No way. No way in hell you are THE Mew." I said. 'Mew' just giggled in that insane way of hers. "I am standing in front of the most powerful of Pokémon Gods."
"Yep, you humans are so funny! I was sent to lead you to Mt. Moon. Well, come on!" Mew said in that bouncy way.
"Um... Who sent you, again?" I asked.
"Suicune did." Mew giggled. Figures that Suicune sent THE most powerful being in the history of Pokémon to lead me the right way. But why waste so much energy on one newbie trainer?
"Just one last thing before you lead me the right way. Could you stop with the insane gigglyness? I mean, Mewtwo doesn't giggle like this; let alone he hardly laughs at all, but OH WELL."
"Aw, you humans are no fun. Giggles spread happiness and happiness spreads love and love spreads peace. Peace is nice." I thought about that.
'Ya know, she has a point there.' My stomach growled.
"I'm hungry now. Wanna join us, Mew?" I asked. Mew floated down towards me.
"You won't catch me?" she asked cautiously.
"You seriously think I could catch a Pokémon God with two Pokéballs, a level 13 Eevee, and a level 13 Butterfree?" I said.
"No..."
"Then come on! We have a little extra today so we could feed one more Pokémon." I removed my two Pokémon from my belt and released them. "Food! Here, Kaze." I put down a bowl of food.
"Thank you!" Kaze said before digging in. At this point, I didn't even bother to wonder how I knew what she said.
"Shin. Here's yours." I said, setting down another bowl. Shinrai said nothing but began to eat. Mew floated down and was practically sitting on my head by the time I found some more food.
"Here. Dig in." I said. Mew giggled insanely again and started to eat. I dug out a sandwich and started to munch on it. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Suicune's silhouette just behind the tree line. Sighting number two. I sensed something coming nearer to us, but I waved it off as a high-level Pokémon. Then—
"WHAT IN THE NAME OF ALL THINGS RIGHT AND HOLY ARE YOU DOING WITH A MEW?!" a voice screeched. I winced.
"Whoever you are, don't DO that! Do you KNOW how much that hurts the ears?! Wait, who are you anyway?" I turned around to see Misty.
"Wait... What?"
"I was GOING back to Cerulean when I heard something. I followed the noise and found you. Now, what are you doing with a Mew? I thought you were a rookie Trainer." Misty replied. Then she noticed my other Pokémon. "Y-you have a B-butterfree?" she stammered.
"Well, yeah. I caught her as a Metapod. She's the one who helped me beat Brock." I replied, showing her my Badge. "And I AM a rookie Trainer. Mew was just going to guide me to Mt. Moon." I dug into my bag and brought out a basic map and a calendar. The map only showed where the routes were, not how to navigate them.
"So, let's see...we're about here, and Mt. Moon is that way, so... it will take about two days to get to Cerulean!" I looked at the calendar. "And the new moon is...tomorrow?!" I looked at my watch. It was about 3:10. "Anyone want to keep going or make camp? If not—"
"You have a phone call from Trainer Alexandria Yami of Vermillion City, status: 2 Pokémon. Would you like to take it?" interrupted Dextra.
"Yes, I will." I answered. I opened my cell phone screen. "Talk to me."
"Meg,whereareyou?!Thestrangestthinghappenedtomelastnight!" (AN: underlined stuff that isn't in italics is talking from on the phone.)
"BREATHE, ALEX, BREATHE! Now, tell me what happened." Misty seemed to pick up that this was a private conversation and went off to the stream.
"I was sleeping, right? Kit came in and woke me up. He said something about there being a big yellow-ish thing outside our tent and a big fiery bird- thingy too. It was about midnight, remember."
"Not like that ever stopped you before." I said dryly.
"Shut up! Well, I went outside to see what Kit was so riled up about, and I almost fainted! It was Raikou and Ho-oh! They said that they were going to be protecting me and that they would meet me again in the next new moon!"
"The same thing happened to me! Only for me it was Suicune, Mewtwo, and Lugia! Shin woke me up at two-thirteen, saying something about a big white- ish bird-thingy, a big blue-ish dog-thingy, and a big purpley thing. I got up to see what she was jabbering about. I almost wet myself. They said that Suicune would follow me to keep tabs on me and protect me. Mewtwo gave me sensing-powers so I could tell when something was getting close to me. Oh, and the new moon is tomorrow, I checked. Tell Raikou that his sister is following your friend and I'll tell Suicune that her brother is following you. So, anything new other than that?"
"Yeah, I caught a Pichu called Kaminari. And I got word from one of the Joys that Lance Knighte has a girlfriend. Any idea who it is?"
"Hell yeah. That girlfriend is me."
"YOUR BOYFRIEND IS THE POKEMON LEAGUE CHAMPION?!" Alex screeched. I had to hold the phone away from my ear to keep from going deaf.
"I guess! I GOT THE CUTE ONE, I GOT THE CUTE ONE!"
"Damn you."
"Thanks. And I'll go to the pits of hell and back if Lance was there. And Sabrina is my cousin that I'm taking the Gym from when I go back later."
"WHOA! Stop, REWIND! SABRINA IS YOUR COUSIN?!"
"Yep. I think this world is mixed with the games because in the games, this route is swarming with trainers. In the show it wasn't. Sabby's Gym had the teleport pads like in the game, but in the show it didn't."
"Freaky. So I guess I'll be challenging you in a Gym soon. Or will it be your cousin?"
"Probably Sabby unless I'm so far ahead of you that it's not even funny."
"Ha ha."
"In fact, I'LL be facing Sabby at one point or another."
"Good point. So where ARE you?"
"On my way to Mount Moon. And you?"
"I must be either ahead of you or behind you because I'm on Route 4."
"You're ahead of us then. We're on Route 3."
"Who else is with you?"
"Misty. Listen, I gotta go. Call me when you get to Cerulean and wait for me there. 'K?"
"Yep. Bye!"
"See ya." I closed my cell phone just as Misty came back.
There. the next chapter will have another battle in it. I can add in another peson to be a Trainer. First reviewer gets it. Gimme a bio, Type preferance, Starter, Team, and number of badges gotten. (no more than the boulder, cascade, thunder, and rainbow, please.)
JA!
