Chapter 7: Powers I didn't know I had...
"Hold on. Grab Giovanni and Yang." Clover ordered.
"Huh? Oh, okay." Gary and Ash said, lifting the men onto their shoulders.
At the Slateport Pokemon Center: At Night-Dinnertime
"Thank you for delivering Giovanni and Yang to the Slateport police station, kids." Officer Jenny said to our heroes, saluting them.
"No problem, Officer Jenny." They all replied.
"We'll make sure than Ivy gets the best of care we can provide." Nurse Joy said as she came to their table.
"Thank you." Steven said graciously.
"Guys, it's getting late, let's talk in our room." Misty said, shivering from the cold that rushed across her skin.
In the room
"KIAHHH!" Misty screamed as something moved about under her blanket.
"What is it?" Ash said as he scrambled in with the others trailing behind him.
Misty had ran into the room first because of the cold.
"S-S-S-Something, m-m-moving under m-my b-b-blanket." Misty stuttered as she backed away from the moving object under her covers.
"Oh, get out there, Ice." Gary said as he chuckled in spite of himself.
He reached under the covers and pulled out a baby Articuno.
Misty squealed and snatched the frightened pokemon from Gary's arms. Then she squeezed the air out of it. The blue pokemon now turned a little bit purple.
"Misty, you're turning it purple..." Clover said as she and the others sweatdropped.
She stopped and looked at the Articuno.
It stopped for a second to catch its breath, and then pecked Misty on the nose.
"Ow!" Misty said as she roughly let go of the bird and covered her nose.
The bird elegantly flew from the bed into the hallway.
"No! Catch that bird!" Ash said as he charged after it.
When Ash charged after it, it only made it fly faster by instinct.
It made a sharp turn near the double door and Ash missed it, slamming himself against the doors.
Everybody laughed and walked to the room where Ice had entered.
The scene was so cute.
Ivy was cuddling the baby Moltres, Zapdos and Articuno while singing 'Miracles Happen' to them softly.
"You showed me dreams come to light, that taking a chance on us was right..." she said her beautiful voice just barely above a whisper.
"All things will come, with a little time, if you believe..." Misty started.
Ivy looked up, startled.
"There is no question, we found the missing pieces, our picture is complete..." Ash sang next.
"It's fallen into place; this is our moment you and I are looking up..." Yumi sang.
"Someone is watching over us, keeping me close..." Hikari continued.
"Closer to you everyday, No where..." Steven vocalized.
"No where on earth I'd rather be. No one..." Clover sang.
"Can take this away from you and me..." Gary finished.
"You showed me faith is not blind,
I don't need wings to help me fly,
Miracles Happen,
Once in a while,
When you believe..."
The whole group sang softly.
"Ivy, why didn't you sing with us?" Steven asked.
"My voice is horrible; it will probably ruin the whole song. Ice, Zap, and Heat was only listening because I'm their trainer; they're probably thinking that I'm bad too. Right guys?" Ivy said, looking at the three pokemon in front of her.
All three of them shook their heads in a 'no' manner.
"Ivy, you're voice is beautiful." Misty and Yumi said.
"I agree with the girls." Clover said softly.
"Really?" Ivy said.
"Yeah, you know, I heard of a singing contest down in Viridian City." Clover said as she recalled the ad.
"Oh, yeah! I saw it too! But, you can sing solo or sing as a couple or as a group. The winners get a mysterious egg." Misty squealed.
"How about this. We can all enter!" Ivy said, happily.
"No!" The boys yelled.
The girls did some cute pout-begging and they all gave in.
"Once I can recover, we can sing!" Ivy said to her pokemon.
"We'll call our group Avenue eight!" Ash suggested.
"Yeah! Go Avenue eight!" they all said and clapped hands with Ivy.
Ivy couldn't move out of her seat so the others came to her.
One week later, the day of the contest
"Our first contestants are Avenue Eight!" the announcer said.
"Ready?" Ash said as he took in a deep breath.
"Let's Rock."
The song began.
They sang.
Meanwhile...
"Boss, we've located the targets." A female voice said in the crowd.
"Good. When they're done, capture them." Another voice said from the Nextel phone the girl was holding.
"Yes, Sir. We'll be ready." She responded.
Back to Avenue Eight
"I can't help falling in love with you.
Take my hand,
Take my whole life too,
Cuz, I can't help,
Falling in love,
Falling in love with you..."
Applause erupted from the crowd.
They all smiled and excited the stage.
"We did great!" Yumi said as she gave a high-five to everyone.
Then, a girl about four years younger than their age stepped into the room holding a book.
She had pigtails, glasses, and wore overalls over a red shirt.
She also had red hair and green eyes.
"Hello, Can you guys sign this for me?" She asked.
"Sure, who da ya want it to?" Hikari said as he took the book.
"Just to my best friend, Giovanni." She replied.
"Giovan- what!" Hikari yelled, nearly dropping the book.
Suddenly, four mechanical hands came out of the roof and grabbed the four girls.
"Help! Guys!" They screamed.
Ash got real mad, so did the others guys.
Ash's aura turned silver.
Gary's turned red.
Steven's turned gray.
Hikari's turned chestnut.
All of a sudden, the earth came out from the foundation beneath them and grabbed hold of Yumi.
A huge, powerful gust stopped Misty's hand in its track.
A red flame shot out from Gary's open hand on either side and started burning the hand Clover was caught in.
A steel hand shot out from Steven's hand and grabbed tight hold of Ivy.
Ivy yelled, "Help! Anyone! Help me!"
Just then, a performing bulbasaur from the stage ran off stage and ran into the room.
Ivy stared at the bulb on bulbasaur's back and suddenly, razor-sharp leaves came out and cut the metal rod that connected the hand and roof together.
Ivy fell down and the steel hand grabbed her just in time.
"Thanks, Steven." Ivy said, hugging him.
"How did I do that?" He asked, looking at his hands.
"Who cares?" Ivy said happily as she pet and praised the bulbasaur for its assistance.
Clover's eyes glowed purple and suddenly the hand loosened its grip on her and she slowly landed on the floor gracefully.
"Wow." She said as she stared at herself.
Misty created a water tunnel and broke herself loose from the ceiling.
Yumi's aura was the weirdest. It was black and white.
A powerful black and white beam shot out of her hands and it COMPLETELEY DESTROYED the roof.
She landed safely.
"How did we just do that?" All of them said in unison.
The bulbasaur resumed to dancing back on the stage.
"Cool! We have powers!" Ash yelled.
"I can control the wind." He said as he showed off.
"I can control fire." Gary said as the tip of his index finger lit up.
"I'm Physic." Clover said as her eyes glowed purple again.
"Water!" Misty said as she played with the water that she floated up in midair.
"I can talk to pokemon and make plants grow rapidly!" Ivy said as she grew a pecha tree.
"I can control the Earth." Hikari said as the earth shifted in Ivy's plant's dirt.
"Steel is what I can control." Steven said as he repaired the damages on the roof.
"But, I dun know what my power is." Yuki said as she looked at her hands sadly.
"You have Yin Yang opposite forces at your command." Clover said as she closed her eyes.
"How do you know?" Misty asked, tilting her head sideways.
"The spirits have told me." Clover said as she opened her eyes.
"How did we get these powers anyways?" Ivy said as she handed out Pecha berries to everyone.
"Dunno." Everyone responded.
"I know." Said a voice.
"Who are you?" Gary asked.
"I am Juan, the Sootopolis Gym leader." Said the man.
He was in his early twenties, late teens.
Hee hee! I forgot that I finished this chappie! Sorry! I'm listening to 'Who Let the Dogs Out?' right now. Who let the dogs out? Who? Who? Who? Who? Who let the Dogs out?
