Stuck in a Game

Chapter Two:
Stupid Possessed Games
"Ugh...my head!" Lola said as she placed her hand on her head where the pain was. She felt that her head could explode! Her eyes were a bit out of focus, but it got back within a few minutes. In the meantime, Lola looked around where she was. It looked somewhat familiar, but she couldn't place because of her eyesight. After the few minutes, she realized that she was in the room she was always whenever they were in Arizona. The room was quite small, but it felt like home to her.
There was a twin sized bed (that felt it was too high for comfort at times), and the comforter was very, obviously, comfortable. The colors were pretty girlish, but not too girlish. The colors were pink and purple, but there were more purple then pink -- which Lola didn't mind all that much. The pattern was that of a spiral or an abstract picture OF one. Next to the bed was a small wooden yet very steady nightstand. The craftsmanship on it was astounding and she knew her grandparents had to pay a lot for it.
On the night stand was a small lamp that was shaped like you would find in an ancient home of her fellow people. Also on the nightstand was a small alarm radio with the correct time (which was about 8 o' clock) was on it. There was a small dresser, about the same color and craftsmanship as the nightstand, but on it was a few boxes that contained jewelry in it that her grandparents must've saved throughout the years her mother and her aunts grew up in.
Speaking of her mother, Lola remembered the arranged marriage her mother had set her up with. She knew fury was growing in her. Why would her mother want to ruin it her life anyway? Was it because SANKA got his choice? She puffed through her nose as she got up to look for her cell phone. She had found it soon. Her cell phone was obviously a Nokia and it was heavily decorated with pictures of her and Jessica, Kouji, her pugs, some of Hello Kitty, and of course Pokemon.
She rapidly dialed her home's phone number to be picked up by a drowsy sounding Yuri. Lola knew angry tears were coming down her face. She also knew she was shivering from anger, and not from the heavy set air conditioner. "Hello?" her mother responded, bringing Lola back to earth.
"Mom! I hate you! I don't know why you did this to me and not to Sanka!" Lola started to yell uncontrollably. Oh man. Was SHE mad! She had to sit down and force herself to grab a piece of the comforter to control her anger. "Wha? Do what?" her mother asked, absent-minded. This just furthered Lola's anger. "YOU KNOW WHAT!" she said, trying to not let her sobs get the best of her. She heard a bit of muttering on the other end and listened for her mother to make up an excuse.
"Lola, in all honesty, I really don't know what you're talking about." her mother said, really not having a clue on what her daughter was yelling at for – but she did feel guilty about it.
"I hate you, Mom." she said. "I HATE YOU. I WISH I NEVER WAS BORN!" she shouted as she threw down the cell phone down on the floor quite hard – enough to cause it to break almost in half, apparently. Drat. Now she'd also have to get Kouji to fix it too. She turned back to the bed, face first, and started to cry hysterically. However, she didn't notice her window being banged on by a certain boy on the outside window.
"Machiko!" he said, even though it was muffled. He sighed and kept knocking on the window until he saw the door open to a not so happy Sanka. "Why are you yerring? You know grandmother's going to get mad at you for disturbing her..." he said, trying to be as quiet as he could. Although normally, Lola would laugh at Sanka's "fraw", but she wasn't up to it. She felt that the whole world was against her. Or just her elders. Sanka noticed her crying and sat on the bed. He placed a hand on her back as she kept crying hysterically. She pushed his hand away. "Go away, Sanka. I hate you too." she said, through gritted teeth. Sanka got a surprised look on his face. Sure he and Lola had fought over stupid stuff, but nothing would ever utter those three words, "I hate you." Certainly not until that moment.
Needless to say, Sanka was shocked. There really wasn't anything to say. Sure his sister gets on his nerves; who doesn't get on their siblings' nerves? He didn't say anything else, but he didn't leave. The only sound in the room was the crying, which was slowly calming down, and the ignored pounding and muffled speech of the window near them. Sanka turned to the window's direction and saw a frantic Kouji. He got up and walked over to the window, to open it. Kouji fell in, since her room was on the bottom of the house, but not even close to the basement. "You okay, Kouji?" he asked, finally breaking the silence in the room, aside from Lola's crying.
The younger got up, and rubbed his bottom. It was a little sore that he had to close one eye, but not too serious. He looked down to see the broken cell phone and sighed. He picked it up as he stood up, glancing at Sanka before looking at Lola. "Machiko, are you okay?" he said as it was his turn to sit on the bed. He didn't get a response from her, and decided to just let her cry. Sanka, getting bored with all of Lola's drama, picked up her game boy bag and started to go through it – trying to find what he was looking for. Kouji sighed as he, too, turned to the game boy. It was then he saw the actual SP with the Leaf Green version in the back of it. He placed the broken phone near Lola's reach (not exactly a wise choice, mind you).
Kouji snatched it and opened it, turning it on. Since he figured Lola had finished her game already, he decided to start a new game. At this time, Sanka threw her charger across the room – simply out of frustration. "Where is that game?" he muttered. Kouji ignored Sanka and happily glanced at the clock, setting it up.
Realizing she wasn't getting anymore attention from either of the boys, Lola glanced up from her crying spot to see her brother going through her stuff (again!) and Kouji was playing her game boy SP! Not that she didn't mind Kouji touching her stuff...BUT her brother knew better then to look through her stuff! She growled, quite loudly, and jumped from her spot, causing the phone to drop on the floor, yet again, but near Kouji. She landed on Sanka, in a major effort to get her stuff away from his clutches. "LET GO, SANKA!" Obviously, still very, very angry. Sanka, being competitive, tugged the game case away. Or at least tried to. She had to push poor Kouji over, causing him to push the wrong button, thus making him choose Bulbasaur when he wanted a Charmander.
But that was the least of his worries as of then. He landed on the cell phone on his side, a quite sensitive spot for him, as the two siblings cursed at each other (in both languages) and fought over the poor bag. Sanka immediately stood up, with the phone now in his hand as he tried to put in the pocket, and tried to stop them from fighting.
As soon as he tried to literally push them away, there was a magnificent light emitting from the Game boy once again and this time, it was big enough to fill the whole room. There were some swirls, and they all looked up, from the rough wind, they could see something on the blue swirls and some pink. In the middle of it all was a bright light. It was obviously trying to suck them in. They all tried to scream for help, but there wasn't any noise – not even from the gusting wind. Since the light was obviously bright, they shielded their eyes and Sanka, even though he was still fighting with her, protected his little sister, by turning his back towards the girl. Of course his eyes were slammed shut. Kouji used is arm to dim it a little bit – he thought he saw some Unown floating in the blue swirls, spelling out something to "Ignored will be…" or something of the like. He wasn't able to read it all, but what he didn't realize that the wind was picking up and pulling them in.
From then, all they could see was a blinding light.
oooo
The young girl, even though she appeared to be in her teen years, was humming a small tune. Closely following her, was a Wooper, very odd indeed for the Kanto world. She had chin-length silver hair, but the side-bangs were past her shoulders and dyed a dark purple. She had dark green-blue eyes and an odd fashion sense. She was wearing a pale pink tank top that said 'Love' with a heart on it, a black choker on her neck, black belt, a long, pale blue skirt, no shoes, and some sort of dark brown sleeve-like thing on her arm that wasn't attached to her shirt. In her mouth was a long biscuit like thing that was probably dipped in strawberry since most of it was in her mouth.
She had to visit her relatives, sometimes she would refer them as ghosts – for joking matters of course. But then, her tune was rudely interrupted when she felt two heavy weights on her back, of course, gravity took its place again and the girl was on her stomach. The Wooper was jumping up and down. "Wow! Do it again!" She had heard her Pokemon say and repeat.
Lola opened her eyes, which were closed completely shut, and realized that she was clinging to Kouji, in a hug. Of course Kouji wasn't aware of it yet. But when he did realize it, she pushed him off. "Ow!" he said as he landed on his upper back and head. Lola laughed. "Hey! Can you please get off?" the girl under Lola said. Not realizing it, she yelped as she jumped off. It was then she looked down to her outfit.
It was so obviously different from the one she had worn that day. She felt her hair was in a hair scarf, but she was unable to see the designs on it. Her blouse was obviously a midriff and it was red. On the middle of it was a huge star. She was also wearing jeans, along with her favorite pair of low tops Converse shoes. She looked on her hands, and she was wearing red gloves that had the fingers cut off. Of course, there were some stars. She also felt a bit of weight on her back, and behind her was, alas, a red backpack. It wasn't too big, it wasn't too small. It was the kind of backpacks you'd expect little girls to carry. But instead of a stuffed animal, it was just red. And it had a big star on the middle of it.
Kouji, on the other hand, was wearing what he had worn in the house. A long sleeved blue shirt with jeans and running shoes. Of course, Lola assumed that his stuff was in her backpack as well – which explained the extra weight. He groaned as he got up, rubbing his back and his neck. She ran up to him, ignoring the girl who was dusting herself off. "Kouji! Where are we?" she asked, still a bit high strung. Kouji opened his eyes to reveal green jade eyes – probably the most beautiful pair she'd ever seen in her life. She fought furiously against the blush that was coming trying to come out.
"Honestly...I don't know…" he said, as he still tried to soothe the pain in his neck, mainly. The girl grew tired of waiting to notice her so she cleared her throat quite loudly, her Wooper, still jumping around, hoping more people would fall on its owner. The two looked at the girl and blinked. Then Kouji realized that she was the soft cushion they had landed. He grabbed her hands and bowed a little in respect. "I'm sorry, ma'am!" he said, as he laughed. She nodded. "That's okay!" her voice, sounding very pleasant.
Of course, Lola got jealous. No way. Kouji was hers and hers ALONE. She grabbed Kouji's collar and started to drag him away. The young blinked in confusion, but her Wooper, for some reason did a Head butt and it hit Lola on the head and landed on Kouji's head. "Ta-da! That outta teach you not rude to people!" as it danced (or just shaking its butt from one side to another). This just fueled Lola's anger. She dropped Kouji, ("Ow!" as he started to rub his head again...) and turned to the Wooper, nearly grabbing it to choke it. But the Wooper jumped to its owner's feet and stuck out its tongue, mocking Lola. "Why, you little...!" she said as she was about to launch herself at the Pokemon.
Of course, the girl had to protect her Pokemon somehow! So she did the first thing she did. She got out another biscuit, but this one was covered in chocolate, and stuck it in Lola's mouth. Lola was shocked to know that is girl knew she liked chocolate pocky...She looked up at the girl again. "That's better!" she said, happily. The Wooper started to jump up and down, as if it won. Lola glared at the Wooper while the girl was introducing herself. But she didn't catch her name, but she did catch "…But you can call me Pocky!" Lola took the biscuit out of her mouth and asked her, trying not to sound mad or annoyed. "Why are you called Pocky?"
The girl smiled wider. "Because I LOVE Pocky! Pocky is the best thing ever!" as she got out some of her boxes that seemed to came out of nowhere and hugged it. Wooper jumped up and said "Thaaat'sright!" Lola rolled her eyes as she placed the biscuit back in her mouth. The girl pointed to Lola and Kouji. "Are you two Kouji and Machiko?" trying to see if she got them right. By now, Kouji was standing behind Lola and he responded for Lola, worrying that if Pocky might hurt them in the future. "Yes. We are." Lola looked up at Kouji, surprised at his actual cool attitude. Then, Pocky glomped the both of them. "I KNEW IT! I found you!" as Wooper danced around the group that was on the ground, singing some song about eggs.
Some passerby's looked at the group in shame or amusement, but they didn't interfere. Kouji and Lola exchanged confused looks. She had found them? And where in the world are they?
Lola inwardly cursed. Stupid possessed games...
oooooo
Ending Notes: YES! She finally gets sucked into the game along with Sanka and Kouji! XD;; Oh yeah, just so you know, I plan to do the Hoenn version of this. Why am I doing Leaf Green version? Cause I can. ;; And in the Hoenn edition of this series will be the Emerald version. :3 So just wait until this edition ends. If I could do Johto, I would. I just gotta find my guide. ;; P.S: I used Digital Skitty's description for Pocky. Reference: ReiShine, Chapter 18, Oodle Doodle! And I'm sorry if I made Pocky and her Wooper out of character. ;-;
' - I do not know any Japanese or Asian phrases PERIOD, so I'm going to have this little apostrophe after every quotation markings in case there is a language change. This will make everybody happy. XD; (It might include Pokemon, but I'm not too sure.) And yes, I realize I cannot do accents. Forgive me:3?
Next Time: Kouji and Machiko get their first Pokemon! And apparently this Bulbasaur likes her and why on earth is Professor Oak giving her a BABY Pokemon in the first place?
