Better and Tougher, the Real Adventures

Chapter 24: 2 S.S. Pre-Adventures: Sheryl's Secret, and Splicing Surprise!

Welcome again, to another adventure of B&T, RA! We join Carl 5 seconds into the future, cheering himself on about his newest badge, the Hydro-E badge! "Wow, you're a real good trainer Laurrella." He decided to be complementary.

"Thanks." she stayed angered still. as if something else was hot on her mind, which as our main man will soon learn, is really quite true.

"Oh, I hope this works." worried Sheryl Garen as she sat in her room back at home. "Carl's been such a good friend, especially ever since that day." she says as the scenery man frantically tries to keep up the pace before he gets replaced.

It is dark, and 3 years ago, in ye old Pallet Town. Actually, it's not too different, but it is in a dark, remote part of the town that this scene takes place. A man, who you can just tell by his lecherous looks, that he is. just that. Waiting with his sick self, and psychopathic ways, waiting to nab a poor, unsuspecting victim. and guess whom it is. that's right, Sheryl. Then, she begins to narrate. "It was so awful," she begins to sob slightly, "he was filthy, and disgusting. And all so suddenly, all went cold. He had torn most all my clothing right off, like a ravenous beast." She begins to very noticeable cry, as she narrates this story. Good thing that Ledyba is there, thanks to our main man, his friends will always be safe. "Just before I thought he was going to do something 'horrible!' he shows up. Carl, the bravest man alive... Just as this freak is about to lower his pants, revealing something butt-freaking horrible. The rest is a blur, until I apparently woke up a few minutes later." She sighs, clearly saddened by all this. "He could've have as easily taken advantage of my well being, but instead he said, 'Oh my god! I hope you're ok! Let's get you something to wear.' in a voice that lets me know he cares. He was really cute when he blushed and looked away though." She actually giggled at this, despite being at the sad part of the story. "So I merely say nothing, but rather just run up to him and hug him on the spot, despite being in a suit made for birthdays. I could tell by when that I kneed him in the groin by accident, even though lightly, that he was not immune to worldly turn on. And being hugged by a naked girl didn't make things any easier, even if a rapist did just run away, a criminal, who hopefully is dead, almost could've killed me." And then our flashback ends.

"That, is why I love him, ever since that day." Sheryl sighed, "If only you could understand, Ledyba. But I'm scared to tell him, not yet anyway." She speaks to her pokemon, who has become a friend during these weeks that she had him.

The bug pokemon gave its trainer a reassuring hug, having taken a liking to the dramatic young woman; it felt safe, and comforted by her caring nature. Sheryl continued "If we can help make his mother happy, then I'm glad to have helped Carl, and the ones he loves. For I love him."

"Are you feeling ok, Laurrella?" Carl asked, noticing at last, that trouble was afoot.

"Yes, actually. there is." She hesitated a bit before speaking, then sighed in heavy sadness. "There's a laboratory nearby here, working on some rather illegal activities." She explained. "They're working on cloning!" This gave the group a bit of a shock.

"Cloning!" yelled Kim, "That sounds just awful!"

"Well, its hardly the worst part." Continued the gym leader, "They also steal powerful pokemon in order to get good genetic material!" she begins to sob slightly. "They stole my prized Mareep." And lets out all the tears. "I'd love to go save him, but I have a gym, and power plant to run." She continues.

"Well," Yetis speaks, "I think we need to show these mad scientists a few things about respecting pokemon for what they are!" he shows great detesting towards the evil ideals of cloning for mere purpose of making an item. "Unless they intend to show these clones love and care, which I doubt, then they have another thing coming to them!"

The rest of the 4 friends chime in with their agreement. Carl then voices out as well, "We'll save your poor Mareep! So don't you worry!" he nods with confidence.

"Thank you Carl, and all of you. I'll give you anything you want, if you save my poor Mareep."

"Don't you dare come near me!" fearfully shouts a man. oh wait, no it's not, it's just Wilbur, uh, I mean William, the Team Rocketeer with name sensitivity. Looks like he's yelling at something.

"Jeez!" yells Bonnie; "It's just a Grimer!" she looks at the purple blob. They're a bit away from our main man and his friends. "Although it does smell a bit awkward. Why don't you just capture it." She suggests.

"I think I shall!" he shouts, "Paras, go get it!" he yells, as the bug pokemon is unleashed into combat. "Hit it with your Stun Spore!" he tells the mushroom bug, who obeys, and sprinkles the target with the powder of stun. "That was easy enough." he gets shocked, "Go Pokeball!" he tosses, with hopes of catching the sludge flinger, before he gets caught up in the end of the chapter. Oh, too late, it 'is' the end!
