Me: Ohayo!(Hello in Japanese) So, the news for voting is...IT'S A TIE! But I used a random generator, 1-4, odd are Mitsunari, even are Hanbei, best out of five. Numbers: 4, 2, 4, 4, 4. Which means the winner is Hanbei!
Aiko: There's a new character, but she's just there to balance out the number of warlords, because you can get two from Violight and one from Puligis, and she's also there because THERE AREN'T ENOUGH GIRLS!
Aura: Yeah!
Mr.001 - :3
Leodasdragon - Lol, yeah, that Shuckle. To be truthful, I always look forward to your reviews because one, they're funny, and two, you are awesome. XD
Hanbei: *Now has a Zapdos* ._.
Me: Be thankful. Zapdos seem to be the easiest of the three birds. Moltres just...never seems to want to stay in that freaking pokeball! GAH! Oh yeah, and I beat the e4 and Iris in W2 yesterday. On my first try, with underleveled pokemon, might I add. :D
Akio: Gemstone Gal doesn't own Pokemon or Samurai Warriors. Enjoy!
Chapter 11 - Ruby of Johto
In Aurora, a young girl by the name of Ruby and her precious Petilil and Cyndaquil, named Sunny and Flare respectively, were doing what they usually did. Steal. Ruby was an orphan. She had heard stories about the Moon Twins, who were born into a noble family. She wished that she also been born in a rich family. Ruby had slightly dark honey brown hair, which was unusual in Ransei, but she had been born in Johto, along with her Cyndaquil. She also had crimson eyes, and even though she wasn't from a family with warlords, she could control fire. Yes, that's right. Ruby, the poor orphan thief, could control fire. Ruby sighed. It had been a long time since she had last had a bath. In truth, she was only eleven, while to some she appeared as a short, poor fourteen year old. Today she had only gotten some ponigiri. She and her pokemon quickly finished it and walked through the streets again.
"Aiko!" She heard a voice yell. "How many times have I told you not to freeze things? We don't even have fire to melt it!"
"Geez, sorry that I accidentally froze something!" A girl replied. Ruby looked at the frozen item. It was part of the castle wall. There were more people who were watching, but Ruby didn't care. She walked to the wall, unnoticed by the two arguing, and put her hand in front of the frozen spot, with a fire from her pointer finger. Ruby melted the ice in a few seconds.
"That should solve your problem." She said. Everyone looked at her. Then the wall. Then her pokemon. Then her finger that had fire on it. Ruby noticed that she hadn't made it go away and blew on it. The small flame disappeared.
"Well, I gotta go." Ruby said.
"Wait!" A girl with a Jigglypuff and Charmander said. "What's your name?"
"I'm Ruby." Ruby said. "Ruby Takenaka." A boy with a Pikachu gasped.
"No way!" He said. "That's the name of one of my cousins!"
"Is your name Hanbei Takenaka?" Ruby asked, remembering that before her mom had passed away, she told her the name of the cousin that Ruby should look for is she ever ended up in Ransei. The boy nodded.
"That's me." He said.
"Hm...so mom told me that I should look for you if I ever come to Ransei." Ruby said. "Because the difference with Johto and Ransei is great."
"Hey Ruby, would you like to join my army?" The first girl asked.
"You mean our army." The other boy said.
"Uh...sure?" Ruby said.
"Great! Ah! I forgot to introduce myself." The girl said. "I'm Aiko, that's Eve, Shiro and Thunder."
"I'm Akio. That's Kuro, Razor and Lemon." The boy said.
"I'm Oichi and this is Jigglypuff and Charmander." The girl with the Jigglypuff said.
"Kanbei." A dude(lol) with a Litwick said.
"I'm Kiyomasa." A boy with silver hair said. "Those two idiots are Mitsunari and Masanori."
"I'm not an idiot." Mitsunari, who had a fluffy headdress, protested.
"Hey!" Masanori said suddenly. "You're that girl who stole my Guardian Charm!"
"Oh you mean this?" Ruby asked, holding up a black Guardian Charm. "It's not very useful. Here, you can have it back." The Masanori caught it, falling in the process. Aiko frowned when she saw that all Ruby was wearing was rags.
"Ruby, come with me." Aiko said. Ruby did as told.
Aiko had given Ruby a bath and a red kimono with daisies on it that went from left to right diagonally and got smaller as it got closer to the right. The obi was pink. Ruby now saw Aiko as an older sister figure, due to how nice she was.
"Thank you..." Ruby said.
"No problem!" Aiko said, smiling. The two of them walked into another room of the castle with their pokemon following. "Alright! We're splitting up now."
"Who's going with who?" Kiyomasa asked.
"I was getting to that part." Aiko said. "Going with me to Violight is Ruby, Hanbei, and Mitsunari. Everyone else, being Kanbei, Oichi, Kiyomasa and Masanori, goes with Akio to Puligis."
"Mkay." Akio said. "Well then, we'll be taking our leave." He and everyone who was assigned Puligis left the room.
"We should get going, too." Mitsunari said.
"We're only riding three Blitzle. Ruby will ride with me, just in case." Aiko said. "If she's okay with it, that is."
"It's fine." Ruby said.
"Then let's go!" Aiko said, skating out of the room and to the stable. The three left in the room followed her to the stable.
Inside the stable, Akio and his group were still there when Aiko and her group came in.
"You haven't left yet?" Aiko asked.
"We're just about to." Akio said. "See ya in Chrysalia."
"Kay. Bye!" Aiko said, waving as her twin left. Ruby walked to one of the Blitzle who had a scar over his left eye. She patted his head, and then a golden light appeared.
"A link?!" Ruby was stunned. This Blitzle was now her partner.
"That Blitzle's old partner abandoned it." Hanbei said. "Maybe that's why. He was feeling lonely."
"So, what's your name?" Ruby asked the electric horse pokemon.
"I'm Lightning." The Blitzle said.
"Lightning, eh? What a wonderful name!" Ruby said. Everyone looked at her.
"You can understand Pokemon?" To say they were shocked was an understatement. Ruby nodded.
"Well Lightning, can you lead and those two bring us to Violight?" Ruby smiled.
"Sure!" Lightning said. "Just hold on tight!"
Me: While I was working on this, I was listening mostly to Whatcha Say and now it's stuck in my head. Heck, I'm listening to it now. XD
Ruby: Did you know that she's got a weird habit of being able to work better while either listening to music, humming or singing?
Akio: Well, what do yo-
FUN FACT: Right now, the story is set in December. :3
QUESTION OF THE CHAPTER: What was your first pokemon and what are the starters you've gotten in the order you got them?
Akio: -u think? She's weird. ARGH! This is like that dream you had where you kept cutting me off. -.-
Me: My first was an awesome Turtwig, then Mudkip, Torchic, Piplup, Chikorita, Snivy, Tepig, and Oshawott(FEMALE!). :D Oh yeah, and then I had a Squirtle somewhere in the middle. XD
Aura: GEMSTONE GAL HAS THIS WEIRD THING THAT SOMETIMES SHE HAS DREAMS THAT COME TRUE! Seriously, once she saw this football in her dream, and then she woke up later that night(her brother had come back from a party), and she saw the SAME FOOTBALL! ._.
Me: At least it wasn't as weird as the dreams that I've had, like me being the heroine of Pokemon Conquest, or being Touko, or seeing a flying llama. XD
Aiko: ._. Well...Hope you enjoyed!
Ruby: :3 See you next time~ Oh, and don't forget to review!
