Another quick note: the girls can also be easy to remember because most (if not all) of their names deal with their preferred type. Example: Fuela-fuego (means fire) -fire, Teres-terra (means earth)-ground, etc.
"C'mon Shigeru it'll be fun!"
"Where are we going?"
Gary asked as Liana, the blonde cheerleader, and Teres, the brunette, pulled him through Vermilion City. As they tugged him through, he glanced around and noticed the city's Gym.
"You'll see!"
"Ah, wait wait! There's the Gym there, we gotta go there first!"
"Oh this'll just take a day or two."
"A DAY?"
Gary yanked his arms away from the girls and glared at them.
"Listen I'm not on some vacation alright? I have leaders to beat to become a Champion! And I'm pretty much on a time limit!" he yelled out as he turned around to make sure a certain person wasn't there yet.
Liana innocently cocked her head to the side and asked, "A time limit? Why?"
"A journey should be enjoyed by the trips you take in between Shigeru," Teres added.
"Yeah we'll I didn't take this journey for enjoyment. So you two stay in your place and be my groupies."
With that, Gary turned and began walking his way to the Gym until another voice stopped him.
"You're too weak, Shigeru."
All three turned around to see Fuela looking directly at him. Gary's arrogance boiled at such words. Even though he was a beginner, he most certainly was not weak.
"Where we're going is a place for many Trainers to gather so they can train and ready themselves. That's a whole day to strengthen your Pokemon. It's a once in a lifetime experience and." Fuela flicked her red bangs as the wind blew through the thick strands. "It'll make your journey much easier afterwards. You are on a time limit, right?"
Gary watched the girl in thought as the city's hustle and bustle pervaded the air. He turned back to the Gym and contemplated his options. He could either make a beeline to the Gym and risk a 50/50 chance of winning, along with possibility of seeing Ash. On the other hand he could take this side trip, but lose one to two days of his major goal. However, training would make his Gym Battle easier along with the rest to come...
"*Sigh* So where's this trip?"
Gary's eyes widened as he and his groupies walked down the long plank towards the world famous S.S. Anne herself.
Once at the entrance of the ship, the girls showed a sailor their ticket (which they apparently had won a few days ago) and pulled Gary in. There, Gary found dozens of Trainers who simply wanted to battle which he found strongly beneficial. Throughout the entire morning he fought other Trainers of many types and chatted with his cheerleaders. For each win, they'd somehow create a new chant to cheer Gary on, which (although he wouldn't admit) motivated him a lot more than he expected.
Midday soon approached and Gary plastered on his signature smirk as he won yet another battle with apparently one of the toughest Trainers on board. The girls cheered and hopped up and down as the seasick old man congratulated gary on his win, but promised that next time he wouldn't hold back.
As they began walking back to their room, the green haired cheerleader, Liet, walked closely to him. She then playfully grabbed his arm and pressed her chest against it much more than Gary expected to be normal.
"That was some battle, Shigeru-san."
'Ah right. She's the only one who calls me that,' Gary thought.
"If you want," she moved closer to his ear, managing to almost place his arm between her breast as she whispered, "you can show me some more of your moves away from the girls."
Gary's eyes widened as a blush creeped up to his face. He turned to Liet, attempting to process exactly what she was asking and instantly understood as she seductively licked her lips and threw him a wink.
"B-but we're sharing the same room with the other girls."
"Then we'll find an empty one for the two of us. Whaddyou say, Shigeru-san?"
As they made it down the hall, Gary watched Liet for another moment then looked down at the end of the stairs; honestly still confused about the whole situation.
"You think there are more Trainers up here?"
"Let's take a look!"
"Ah, but Misty! Are we allowed?"
"Oh quit being such a baby."
Gary's face suddenly turned ten shades of red as he heard the one voice he truly did not expect on this ship. The brunette hopped to the side, pressing his back against the wall as he loudly whispered, "What?! Why is he here?!"
Liana looked down asking, "who?", but Gary pulled her away as well. His eyes widened as he heard footsteps coming up the stairs and, as if by instinct, he ran back up the hall, the girls following him in confusion.
Liet watched Gary settle himself onto a wall and seem to change personality, cooling himself down. She frowned, becoming suspicious at the look on her Shigeru-san's face.
"Just play along," he quickly whispered as he crossed his arms and loudly stated, "and that's how I beat that dumb sailor! Honestly, with such pathetic Pokemon what made him think he'd ever beat a master like me?"
The girls quickly comprehended Gary's act and clapped, complimenting the boy on his so-called victory he was speaking of.
"Gary?! What're you doing here?"
Gary hesitated for only a moment, but turned to Ash in surprise, then began laughing in amusement.
"Well, well! Bonjour Satoshi-kun! Imagine seeing you here!"
Gary walked up to the boy who glared at the brunette.
"How'd you get on here? Only the best are allowed on!"
As Ash was about to retaliate, he suddenly noticed the two other companions behind him.
"Huh? You two are Gym Leaders right? Brock and Misty?"
The two nodded as they smiled towards him.
"Hey Shigeru! I'm actually astonished that you're on here. But you are a great Trainer; especially for beating me," Misty said with a wink.
"Yup. They simply recognized my sheer awesomeness," Gary gloated.
"Yeah Shigeru is the best!" Liana said, running up next to him.
"Well we decided to join Satoshi on his journey. His admiration for Pokemon inspired me to become what I truly desire! A Pokemon Breeder!" Brock cried out.
"And he owes me something, so I'm keeping watch to make sure he makes up for it."
At that, Ash hesitantly chuckled and scratched his nose.
Gary felt that strange pang in his chest again as he obtained this new piece of information. So...Ash made some new friends. For some reason that didn't fit well into his mind.
"And who are they?" Ash asked, looking behind Gary to the group of girls.
Gary blinked out of his thoughts and instantly smirked, saying, "My fanclub."
"Fanclub?"
"Yea-up. They know Champions when they see one. Anyway, how's your pokedex coming along? I already caught 40 kinds, pal!"
Ash's eyes widened as his face began to turn red again.
"Wanna see?" he asked, pulling out his pokedex.*
Ash swatted his hand away, quickly stating, "I already have just as much! I don't need to see your pokedex!"
"Oh yeah? Let me see yours then."
Ash glared at Gary again but could not hide his lie. The cheerleaders began to giggle as Gary smirked.
"Thought so. Different types are everywhere Satoshi-kun. Crawl around and maybe you'll catch up to me."
"*Psh* I don't need your advice," Ash said as he tried to make his way around Gary.
"Woah slow down there! We're in S.S. Anne Satoshi-kun~. Didn't you come here to battle?"
Ash turned to Gary who pulled out a pokeball, giving the smaller boy a challenging stare. He continued to watch the brunette for another moment, seeming to debate his options. So for extra motivation, Gary then stated, "I guess that promise you made all those years ago was wrong. You're even too afraid to fight me."
With that, Ash accepted the challenge.
"Thundershock Pikachu!"
"Dodge it Wartortle! Now finish this with a Headbutt!"
After dodging another Thundershock, Wartortle executed his move and Pikachu fell to the other side of the dock, attempting to get up but fainted.
The girls cheered as Ash placed Pikachu in a pokeball and thanked it for it's hard work. Then, as Ash looked up at Gary, he saw Liet jump on him and kiss him on the cheek; a little too close to his mouth. Gary, in embarrassment, pushed her away, turning red. Liet noticed Gary then quickly look over to Ash, as if waiting for his reaction. But that quickly faded away as Gary put on his snotty facade.
As the moon decided to reach its peak in the sky, Gary leaned his arms on the railing of the ship, staring out into the sea. He was thinking about the times he and Ash would go to the beach. It truly didn't help his mood.
"So, you got a girlfriend?"
Gary turned to Ash who now stood next to him, looking out as well. Could he have been thinking about the same thing?
"It's not like that."
"Huh, and here I thought you would gloat about her and how you get everything before me."
Gary glanced over to Ash, feeling the tension his old friend was beginning to build.
"And you seem to have made some new friends. Funny. We never had any back then. Just you and me," Gary said in the same tone, expressing his feelings on it.
"There's nothing wrong with some friends."
"I guess Pokemon weren't enough for you then."
"Enough for me? What're you-"
"I heard there was a Cut master on board. I battled him before you came around."
"Gary don't change the subject."
"Just listen stupid!" Gary yelled out of anger, turning to the shorter boy.
Now truly looking at him, Gary noticed the boys' burnt sienna eyes almost glistening in the moonlight, even though it was a glare towards him.
"I battled him but found out that he was just some sea-sick old man. Still, Cut is really useful and he'll give you it if you beat him."
Ash watched Gary push off of the railing and begin to make his leave, but Ash grabbed his wrist to stop him.
"You didn't explain yourself yet, Gary."
"There's nothing to explain."
"Of course there is! What did you mean when you said-"
"Shigeeeeru-saaan!"
The two turned to Liet who walked up to them and wrapped her arms around Gary's neck.
"I'm tiiiired Shigeru-san. Come to bed with me."
Gary turned to Ash whose eyes slightly widened but looked away as if to drop the subject. He slowly let go of Gary's wrist and walked away with a simple 'good night'.
Misty waved good bye to the girls as she dragged Brock by the ear to get him away as well, following Ash back into the ship. Gary's eyes followed them until they were no longer in his view, but Liet noticed this and narrowed her eyes at that boy.
"Let's go now Shigeru-san," she whispered as she held Gary's hand and led him inside.
The other girls decided to go back as well, feeling sleepy but wanting to stay up in their room.
The rooms had two bunk beds, so four beds would be taken while the other three had sleeping bags. They could have had separate rooms, but the girls insisted on staying together. Gary argued to sleep in a sleeping bag, but the girls only shook their heads, arguing that they were his groupies and they wanted the best comfort for him. In the end, he was forced to have the top bunk on the left bunk beds.
"Oh, I need to go somewhere for a moment. BRB girls!" Liet said all too merrily.
While the other girls went inside the room, Gary had the urge to go to the bathroom and said he'd be back.
Once releasing the fluids from his body, Gary left the bathroom and was surprised to see Liet standing in front of him.
"I found an empty room Shigeru-san~" she murmured as she pressed her body up against his.
Gary looked away, feeling too upset to even care. He allowed himself to be pulled by Liet, thinking 'what's the point of fighting this? Who's it gonna hurt? Ash obviously doesn't care. Hell, he's already moved on to bigger and better friends.'
Gary watched as Liet picked open the lock to the room and walked in, grabbing Gary's hand and pulling him into the dark room. The green haired cheerleader quickly shut the door and pushed Gary onto the opposite wall, pushing herself onto him so much that Gary almost believed that she was trying to morph into one with him. She began pulling his collar down and kissing up his neck, giving him a strange chill that felt weird but nice.
"Ow," he said as she bit his jaw, slowly moving closer to his lips.
"Don't be a wuss Shigeru-san."
"Don't bite me."
Liet chuckled and grabbed Gary's hands, pulling them to her waist and moving them up her body, pulling her shirt up through the process. Gary then realized something today; he did not like the feel of breast. He became nervous as she made him roughly grip down onto them. Doesn't that hurt?!
Being too preoccupied over her chest, he never noticed her lips grazing over his. She pressed her lips roughly down on his which finally caught his attention. He kept his eyes open, watching Liet practically squirm all over him and wondered if he was supposed to be feeling something good right now.
"Mm-, Liet stop."
Liet complained and tried to place her lips on his again but Gary yanked his arms off of her body and softly pushed her shoulders.
"I said stop, I'm warning you."
"Why do you wanna stop? Am I being too aggressive? I'll slow down."
"No, I don't want this at all."
"Shigeru-san c'mon don't be like that."
"I'm leaving," Gary stated as he walked by her and towards the door.
Liet glared at the brunette and grabbed his wrist, quickly saying, "you like him don't you?"
"What?"
"That boy you fought! You like him! I saw the way you were looking at him!"
"What the hell are you talking about?"
"I'll show you what you're supposed to love, you little brat."
At that, Liet yanked Gary around and went down onto her knees, attempting to force his pants down. Gary froze for a moment but kept a firm grip on his clothing, stepping away from her.
"G-get off!"
"If I can't have you no one else will! Especially some stupid boy!"
This was his final limit.
"I said get the hell off, you whore!" Gary yelled as he pushed her off with all of his might.
Liet yelped and hit the side of the bed, falling completely on the floor. She looked up at Gary who opened the door and turned, now glaring at her.
"After tonight, I never want to see your face again."
He left with a slam of the door and made his way back to his room. The girls' noticed Gary's expression and asked what was wrong, but he kept quiet and went onto the top bunk, declaring that he was going to bed.
"Where's Liet?" Liana innocently asked.
"I don't want her sleeping in here tonight," Gary stated as he turned towards the wall; away from everyone.
Gary awoke to the sudden urge to go to the bathroom. With a groan, he turned and slowly made his way off the bed, keeping his shoes off to not wake the girls.
After using the restroom, he pulled his clothing up then heard someone open the door.
"We can't just look in every room for th'guy."
"Well we can't drop it either. Molesting a girl like that ain't no joke."
Gary paused and very slowly stood on the toilet, listening to the men. They weren't talking about him, right?
"She said the main thing she remembered was his red and white hat. He's a bit of a shorty too. A newbie Trainer with scratches or some scar on his face."
Gary's eyes widened as he noticed that this description best fit his old friend. He tried to think positively but as the description continued, it just sounded more and more like Ash.
"Let's just knock on each door and ask fer tickets. Like a check cuz we have a passenger without one or somethin."
"Yeah. We'll teach that bastard a lesson ourselves. He's just a new kid anyway. No one'll notice him when he disappears."
As the men left, Gary waited a few moments then jumped off the toilet and got out, quickly washing his hands and making a beeline to Ash's room. He had seen Ash in an actual fist fight and knew that although the kid had speed, he didn't have too much strength to back it up. Before he could really create a plan, Gary knocked on the door and waited, hearing someone moving inside.
The door slowly opened as a half asleep Ash popped up from behind, yawning and rubbing one eye.
'Dammit, this moron is still wearing his hat. That would be a dead give away. Why would he do that?'
"Gary? It's 3 in the morning what is it?"
"I-I uhm, uh. H-how did that battle of yours go?"
Ash cocked an eyebrow at the question.
"You're asking me this at 3 in the morning?"
"Well, you know I was busy and I wanted to know how much you screwed up."
Ash sleepily glared but let it pass as he replied, "It went FINE Gary. If you really want to know I can tell you about it tomorrow. Now good night."
As Ash turned and began shutting the door, Gary slipped his hand in and swiped his hat and ran off.
"Garyyy! Ugh! Give it back tomorrow!" Ash yelled out as he shut the door; too tired to be mad.
Gary placed the hat on his head and walked down the hall, feeling his heart racing. Maybe he should grab some of his Pokemon too. He didn't know how many guys were after Ash.
As he walked down another hall realization hit him about what he was planning on doing. Is he insane? Why is he trying to take the blame for Ash? He doesn't even know if Ash actually did do something to someone. Either way, he still didn't plan on changing his mind. Something told him this was the best way to protecting him. Although he didn't understand why he'd go to such measures in doing so.
"Hey kid! What're you doing out so late?"
Gary froze, feeling his heart sink at the men's voices again.
Quickly, Gary stopped at a small table in the hall that had a potted plant and put some of the dirt on his face, trying to make it look like a small scratch on each cheek. He turned towards the men who he regrettably noticed were very tall and muscular sailors who stared at him for a moment in surprise then with anger.
"Hey, we need to talk to you," the sailor stated as he quickly stalked down the hall.
Gary gulped and went into flight or fight mode as he sped through his options.
Once choosing, Gary bolted down the hallway hearing the men yell out then run after him.
*lol that "wanna see?" always makes me think that Gary's being a pervert XD pulling out his 'pokedex' lol...
A.N. AAAAAND CLIFFHANGERRRR. Lol I feel like this is a decent end for the chapter. I want to make my chapters longer but I don't want to rush writing more (although I'm a decent amount ahead). These seem short though... Is that cool?
I should have more soon. I just want to end it here for now. Will he get away? Will the truth be revealed of who the attacked girl is? Is it severely obvious or am I throwing you in a complete loop that'll make you go OMFG NO WAI?! Figure it out next time on What I've Done For You fanfiction awesomeness!
(Sorry if there are any major mistakes. I'm typing from my iPad and it's hard to move it to FF cuz it moves everything together, and FF starts malfunctioning and crap. Ugh. But for the sake of shipping, I will go through the tedious fixing :P)
R&R. It'll make me write faster. Trust me, it works. I got a bunch of reviews for another story and already made a few chaos for it out of no where lol...
