Response to reviewers; It's late, I know.
The Review Guy; Thanks for the Staryu-eyes thing, I'd forgotten that. My bad. Thanks for the reviews! I read your 'The Revenge of the Author Characters' ; it's awesome, especially the Mewtwentysevenpointfivethree.
Pokemaniac Hanni: Thanks, you're wonderful. Don't worry, Ash is safe from the MarySue in this story. Though if you really want to kill Celandine, you'll have to get in the queue. BTW, I read your bio. You lucky, lucky person, living that close to the Pokemon Centre. I live in England. Poor me. :- (
Topaz; Thanks! I love praise! Sorry but I can't post this at the Pokemon Tower; the submitting instructions are too difficult for my tiny brain to handle.
The group scrambled up the hill overlooking Fuchsia City and looked down on it. Celandine gasped. Pikachu had no idea why, Fuchsia City looked just like all the other cities they'd been to. Dramatic effect, maybe.
"Wicked funky! Come on, let's go!" Brock shouted.
"Wicked funky?" Togepi repeated. "What's that supposed to mean?" Pikachu shrugged.
"Oof!" Brock said as he tripped over a tree root, presumably one from the oak tree fifty feet away, rolled down the slope, smacked into a rock, and lay motionless.
"No! Oh, Brock, my love!" Celandine cried dramatically, running down the slope towards him yet somehow not ruining her designer Gucci heels.
"For pity's sake, woman, he tripped over a root." Togepi remarked. "It's not like a Rhydon fell on his head or anything."
"Female empowerment!" Starmie hollered, voice muffled from inside her Pokeball.
Pikachu frowned. "Shouldn't he have gotten up by now?"
"Yeah, I think he should have," Topepi said, evaluating the damage. "And why is he bleeding so much? He didn't even hit his head."
Pikachu frowned. Again. It was something he seemed to be doing more and more often these days. "He'll be okay though, right?"
"Yeah, see, he's getting up." Mewtwo said.
"Mewtwo!" Pikachu exclaimed. "What are you doing here?"
Mewtwo waved a paw at Fuchsia City. "Oh, you know, just admiring the view." Pikachu and Togepi stared at him, eyes narrowed, clearly not believing a word he said. "Or plotting to use Fuchsia City in my bid for world domination, whatever floats your boat."
"You're plotting world domination again?" Pikachu said, surprised. "I thought you gave that up."
"Well, three days ago I woke up and decided to take over the world. Mew doesn't like it, though. She's threatening to divorce me." Mewtwo nodded seriously. "Oh well." He snapped his fingers and teleported away.
"Three days ago." Togepi said thoughtfully. "That's about when Celandine arrived, isn't it?"
"You don't think she could have - shush, she's coming back."
Brock limped up the slope towards them, hanging pointlessly onto Celandine's arm.
"Brock!" Misty gushed. "You're alive!"
"Yes, Misty, I was truly dead." Brock said dramatically. 'Dramatic' seemed to be the word of the day. "But your beautiful sister restored me to life by weeping over my body." Celandine smiled sweetly, while shooting a look at Pikachu that said quite clearly, 'Don't even think about spoiling my romantic moment.'
"How did Brock die from tripping over a tree root?" Togepi wondered out loud. "Seems a bit unlikely to me."
"Oh My Gawd, they killed Brock!" Vulpix yelled from inside her Pokeball. Celandine's smug grin flickered for just an instant. Pikachu sniggered.
Ash leapt up. Even though he hadn't actually sat down. "What are we waiting for! Come on, I want my next badge!"
Pikachu looked at Celandine, guessing what she would say next. She didn't disappoint him. "I also must defeat this Gym Leader to prove my worth as a trainer." Having said that, she nanced off down the hillside. Brock followed her like a dog on a leash.
