A/N. I'm baaacckkk with the corny like the anime story. This is my longest chapter yet, so please tell my what you think
Pokemon: New Generations
Previously, Axon, David, and Christy arrived in Cosimo Town, where a very special competition was being held. The Pokemon Team Competition. Much to Axon and David's surprise, Christy showed almost immediate interest in the competiton. Naturally, the three decided to stay for the rest of the contest. After making friends with one of the competitors, Christy has now decided that she wants to be part of the next competition, and train as a Pokemon Team Captain.
"Christy, are you crazy?" Axon excalimed as Christy unlocked the room in the pokemon center, where they were staying, "You're not thinking straight. You know we have somewhere to go. Maybe you're sick. Here, let me feel your forehead."
"Axon, get your hands off of me!" Christy said as she pushed him away. "Look, I know it's sudden, but that competition was so cool, and I know if I was given the chance I could beat it easily."
"But Christy, we're already way behind schedule." Axon whined.
"He's right," David said looking in the guide book. "At this rate we won't make it to Vermillion City for another week or tw."
"We already had to stay because you wanted to see the team competition," Axon continued, "Now you suddenly decide that you want to compete in one, and we're just supposed to go along with it? How is that fair in any kind of way?"
"Look, can we just drop it?" Christy said, walking into the room and putting her stuff down on the single bed. "Nurse Joy gave us this room for the night. So since we have it, let's use it and talk more tommorrow. Now, you guys can talk all you want, but I'm going to bed. Goodnight!"
"Fine, goodnight!" Axon said stubbornly getting on the bottom bunk, then swooshing the covers over his head. Minun curled down on the bottom of the bed, as David and charmander climbed up to the top bunk. All three imediately went to sleep with mixed feelings about Christy's new found interest in Team Competitions.
The next morning Axon and David awoke to see Christy's bed empty and Plusle gone with her. "Hey where's Christy?" David asked climbing down the from the top bunk.
"Who cares?" Axon grumbled. "I say we leave Cosimo Town now before Christy comes up with another bright idea to keep us out of our way."
"Come on Axon," David rolled his eyes, pulling on his backpack. "I bet she's downstairs in the lobby waiting for us. Let's go!" So the two headed downstairs to the lobby where, as David expected, Christy was waiting in line. "See, there she is. Hey Christy!"
"Darn it!" Christy clenched hearing the two come behind her. She turned to the two, "I was hoping I could do this before you guys woke up."
"Do what?" He asked.
"Register for the next competition." Christy sighed holding Plusle.
"May I help you?" Nurse Joy called out to Christy, who was now next in line. Christy began to walk up, when Axon grabbed her.
"Wait Christy," He began, "You don't have to do this. If we leave now you can get to your third gym battle in two weeks." Christy ignored him and began to inch forward.
"You haven't forgot about that, have you?" David halted her. "Your gym battle? The entire reason you started this journey in the first place?"
"Ugh, I knew this would happen." She sighed then turned to them, "Listen, I wanted to do this alone because I knew how hard it was going to be to tell you this. Listen, I don't think I want to compete in the pokemon league anymore."
"WHAT!!!?" Axon and David both jumped almost ten feet in the air. Axon stepped up, "Christy, you're going too far now. This whole Team Competition thing was cute in the beginning but now it's spiraling out of control. I thought you wanted to be a pokemon master."
"Things change." Christy looked up briefly at Nurse Joy who was wondering what was taking so long, "Guys, can we please talk about this later? I have to register."
"No!" Axon demanded, "You're not registering. We're leaving right now."
"You're not the boss of me!" Christy said angrily back. "Jeez, why do you guys have to be waiting on me anyway. Aren't you capable of walking by yourselves? It's not that hard."
" Grr, well if that's the way you feel, then maybe you shouldn't travel with us anymore!" Axon blurted out.
"Woah! Hold it. Axon, I think you maybe overreacting a little bit." David tried to calm him down.
"I am not." Axon continued, "Even from the beginning Christy has been holding us down. If it wasn't for her, we probably would've had our new badges by now."
"Well if I'm such a burden on you two then maybe you should just leave!" Christy's voice began to raise.
"Fine then! Let's go David!" Axon began to turn around.
"HOLD IT!" David shouted stopping both of them, now getting angry himself. "No one is going anywhere. Look, we'll wait for Christy to register and then we'll figure out a plan so everything evens out, alright? Geez, it's so annoying when you two fight like this."
"Well well well," Christy folded her arms sarcastically, "Looks like little mr. perfect over here finally has something to say."
"Yeah David," Axon turned his anger on David, "Who says we have to listen to you in the first place?"
"I'm not saying that." David sighed. He then straightened up, "I'm just, I'm the only one being mature about this whole thing. I'm the only one ever being mature about everything we go through."
"WHAAAAT!!?" Christy shrieked in anger. "Let me tell you something Mister, you're no better or worse than either of us. Believe it or not, your know it all attitude get's annoying sometimes too."
"Yeah, and if you thought we were so immature than why didn't you leave us when you had the chance?" Axon glared.
"Grr, I honestly don't know anymore." David growled at the both of them. "All I know now is tha—"
"Aiiiiiieeeee!" A loud shriek came from the corner. The three turned around to see a girl run up to them in excitement. "I can't believe it's you, and you, and you too! It really and truly is totally you! This is just a dream come true!"
"Um…I'm sorry, can we help you?" Axon asked itching his head.
"OH! Golly, where are my manners." The girl straigtened up. She was wearing a red vest sleeveless shirt, green short shorts, a green belt, and had long curly brown hair with a green bandanna on top. "My name is Macy. I'm a pokemon investigator from the Pokemon daily newspaper. And gee whiz, I'd like to write a story about you, and you, and you too! Tee hee."
"Um….okaaaayyy." David hesitated, caught off guard by the girls overly peppy attitude. "Um….why us?"
"Oh please. Like you don't know?" Macy laughed, "I was in the stands yesterday at the team competition. I saw everything." The three sulked down, remembering the crazy day they had, "Not only were all your pokemon amazing, but I heard through rumors that the wanted Goon Trio is following you three in particular. So I was wondering if I could get an interview from you guys and get the inside scoop on that."
"Oh, well Macy, this isn't that great of a time—" David began.
"Oh no, it'll only take a second." She interrupted him and pulled out her tape recorder and notepad. "Something like this would really look good on my part in the newspaper. This could be the biggest story of the year. Now, where would you like to begin."
"Hmph," Christy crossed her arms. "Well Macy, I may not feel like talking about that story right now, but I have another great headline that'll put you right on the top of the charts."
"Oooooohhhooo" Macy giggled excitedly putting the tape recorder up to Christy's face. "And what would that be?"
"Famous trio breaks up!" She smirked. "Axon, David, and yours truly are no longer traveling together."
"W-what?" Macy studdered. "Heh, you can't be serious. You three….I mean, you can'……uh……you can't be serious."
"It's true. Right boys?" Christy turned to them.
"Erm….uh….y-ya." Axon hesitated not sure if this is what he wanted. Christy was smirking at him. He then wanted to get even. "Yeah! That's right. These two have done nothing but hold me down since the beginning, and I've had just about enough of it."
"Grr, held you down." David growled. He than began to get even also. "Yeah, I wouldn't be caught dead with these two lamos ever again."
"Well then, ...I-I guess this is goodbye." Christy said, trying to sound as brave and sincere as possible. She was a little sad inside.
"R-right, good riddance to both of you!" Axon said with the same expression as Christy.
"S-same here." David said clearing his throat. They all began to walk opposite ways. Christy towards the front desk, Axon and David to the doors, then turning opposite once again. They all stopped for a brief moment and looked back at each other. Then they kept going.
"Eh….erm…uh…wait!" Macy tried to call out, caught between who to chase after. She sunk to the ground and sighed. "Great, now what'll I do. I wanted them all to tell me the story together. Great time for them to decide to break up. That was such a great story, and now I'll have to go all the way back to johto and keep investigating that boring red gyarados story." She then got an idea. "That is….unless….unless I could find another story about them. One that's even better than that one. A story so big that they'll have no choice but to promote me. Yes, yes. A story about how I, Macy, single handedly brought the broken up gang back together. YES! It's Genius. Pure, genius!"
Later on, Christy had forgotten all about registering for the Team Competition. She was in the waiting room of the pokemon center, pacing back and forth, thinking nervously. "I don't need them," She said half confidently. "I can do this by myself. All those times Axon has said things to make me feel bad are behind me. Traveling on my own will be fine. And I've got Plusle to keep me company. Not to mention Teddiursa and Caterpie. Yeah, I'll be fine."
"Pulluuuhh!" Plusle moaned sadly. Christy picked her up.
"Oh don't be sad Plusle." She smiled. "This is a good thing. No more of those crazy boys telling us what to do. We're free to do whatever we want when we want, for now on."
"Pluhh Pluhh!" Plusle shook its head still looking sad.
"I know you miss Charmander and Minun, but they're just not traveling with us anymore. Cheer up. I'm sure it's not as bad as you think."
"oh, oh, oh!" A voice whaled coming closer to Christy. She turned around to see the girl from earlier in sobs. "Oh, woe is me. What to do. It's over. ALL OVER! Boo hoo hoo!"
"Um…excuse me." Christy said walking up to her, "Um, hi. Are you okay? What's over?"
"Oh it's you." Her face lit up, "I'm glad to se you. Oh, well maybe not. You don't want to here my problems."
"Oh no,you can tell me, erm…Macy right?" Christy hesitated.
"Yes." Macy nodded, "I'm so sorry to had bothered you this morning. But, you see, you three were pretty much my last hope. Now, your broken up and it's all over for me."
"I'm sorry Macy, but it really is for the better of things. Why did you need us anyway."
"Well, I haven't written one good story ever since I was hired for the Pokmom Daily. I traveled all over Johto without finding anything. I finally came here, to the Kanto region, hearing about the Goon trio. I thought I could find some stuff out about them, when I saw you guys yesterday at the competition. I hoped that I could get everything you all knew. But it didn't work out that way. And now, if I don't get a good story soon, I'll be f-f-iir—FIRED!"
"Oh no, that's terrible Macy!" Christy patted her on the back along with Plusle.
"(Sniff) Yes. But I'm sure you have plenty of things to do. So I guess I'll go now." Macy began to stand up.
"Wait Macy!" Christy stopped her, "If you want, you could interview me, and I could tell you everything I know."
"Really? You mean it?" Macy's face lit up.
"If it would help. We'd be glad to. Right Plusle?"
"Pluuhhh!" Plusle cheered.
"That's just great! Thank you so so so very much!" Macy cheered up and down.
"So, are you ready now?"
"Um….no! Actually just sit right back down." Macy sat Christy back down a bit nervously. "I have some things to do first. Why don't you meet me in the park right outside of town in an hour? I'll be ready by then.
"Um…Okay. Sure I guess." Christy shrugged.
"Hmm hmm. Great, got you right where I want you." Macy muttered uncharacteristically.
"What was that?" Christy asked
"Um…I said the park is right where I want you. Hehe" She quickly covered up and began to run out of the pokemon center. "I'll see you there in an hour! Bye bye!"
"Um…bye?" Christy said a bit weirded out. "She sure is a weird one, and really young to be a pokemon investigator."
"Pluhh!" Plusle nodded.
Meanwhile, Axon walks alone, with Minun on his shoulder, not far away from Cosimo town. He wasn't entirely sure which way to go. Minun was sulking angrily beside him.
"Minun, I know your upset at me for making us split away from Christy and David," He said, "But I had to make an excecutive decision. They were being ridiculous. We had to go."
"Maii!" Minun pulled its head the opposite way, stubbornly.
"It's not that bad. I bet we'll even find some new friends." He tried to cheer up the mood. "Friends that'll be even better than those two."
"Maiii Maii!" Minun shook it's head.
"Guess there's no convincing you." Axon sighed. Just then, Macy came scrambling out of the bushes, falling right in front of them.
"Hey!" Axon ran to help her up. "Are you alright?"
"Y-yes I'm fine." She stood up. "Oh, it's terrible. The most ferocious thing I've ever seen in my whole entire life."
"What are you talking about?" Axon asked her, trying to understand.
"I just ran into a crazy pokemon." She panted.
"Really? What kind of pokemon was it?"
"I don't know. My Pokedex couldn't read it." She explained. "But it was big. I mean, huge! The most biggest, and totally scariest pokemon I have ever seen in my entire life, EVER! There's no doubt that it's a mysterious, rare, and probably legendary pokemon."
"A LEGENDARY POKEMON?" Axon almost exploded. He than grabbed Macy, "Where did you see it? Please, you have to tell me!"
"I saw it in the park, right outside of Cosimo Town." She pointed down the path.
"You mean I have to go all the way back there?" Axon said in disbelief.
"Well, you can go back there if you want to. I'm running far, FAR away from that place." She said then took off the opposite way.
"You see Minun," Axon smiled, "We're having good luck already. Now we can go and catch that legendary pokemon and we'll be totally unbeatable."
"Maii" Minun sighed as they took off towards Cosimo town. Not that far away, Macy was behind a bush, watching Axon run back to Cosimo Town through a pair of binoculars.
"Yes!" She smiled as she took out her tape recorder and began to talk into it. "Phase 2 is now complete. Both Axon and Christy are now headed to the same place. Now we will commence with Phase 3, to get the third member of the party, David to meet up with them once again"
Meanwhile(again), not far the opposite way, Charmander sits on the top of David's head looking very sad and confused. "Well Charmander, I'm sorry you didn't get to say goodbye to your friends," David said, "But we have to start learning to travel on our own and take care of ourselves."
"Charrr!" Charmander sighed.
"Just look at it this way, now you don't have to share your pokemon food. Heheh." He tried to get a laugh out of Charmander. Charmander just sat there blankly. "(sigh) You're a stubborn one, you know that?"
"David!" A voice called to him from behind. He turned around to see the girl from earlier, Macy, running towards him. "Thank goodness I finally found you."
"Oh, I remember you!" David acknowledged, "But I'm not really in the mood for an interview right now."
"I'm not here for an interview." She stopped to catch her breath. "I need your help with something."
"What is it?"
"There's a baby pokemon that's hurt and sick. I tried to help it up, but it shot fire at me and warned me to stay away."
"Woah! What pokemon was it?"
"I-I'm not sure. It looked a lot like the one right there on your head. I know I just met you, but I figured if anyone could help it would be you. It was probably foolish of me. But you just seem so noble and smart. Just the right person to help it. Maybe I should go get someone else."
"No, wait! Calm down! Where is it?"
"It's laying down in a park, right outside of Cosimo Town."
"Don't worry Macy, Charmander and I will help it." David said turning around and running towards Cosimo Town.
"Thank you so so very and truly much." She waved. When he was completely out of sight, she pulled out her tape recorder again. "Phase 3 complete. All three of trainers will soon be caught in the same place. Now we will Commence with Phase 4." She shut off the tape recorder and pulled out a Poke-ball. "Come on out Oinky!"
"Spoink!" A gray pokebaall with a spring for legs, and a pink pearl on it's head appeared. It was a Spoink.
"Listen Oinky," She bent down to it. "This is finally our chance to shine. If we can get this story, we'll be promoted."
"Spoink! Spoink!" Spoink cheered.
"Now, here's what I need you to do: Get the biggest and most ferocious looking pokemon you can find, and get them to come with you. Then, I want you to meet with me right outside of Cosimo Town. Got it?"
"Spoink!" Oinky nodded and began to hop away.
"Wait!" Macy stopped it, "You have to make sure it comes with you on it's own. Do not, I repeat do N-O-T, NOT, use your psychic attack to make it come with you. Understand?"
"Spoink Spoink!" Spoink nodded once again then set off to find a pokemon. Once it was out of sight, Macy turned around and headed back for Cosimo Town herself.
After wandering around town, doing some hard thinking with Plusle, Christy arrived at the park Macy told her about. The grass was green as ever and there were many trees along side of it. Christy found a bench to sit on as she waited for Macy to show up, "Well, it's been an hour." She said, "I hope Macy hasn't forgotten about us. Huh?" She turned to see Axon running into the park.
"Grr, What are you doing here?" They both shouted pointing there fingers at each other. Axon spoke, "Argh, I don't have time for you right now. I've got business to take care of."
"Oh, yeah. Failing to be a pokemon trainer can be pretty time consuming." Christy taunted.
"Grr, for your information Ms. Team Failure," He retorted, "I'm on the trace of a highly rare legendary pokemon, so you just stay out of my way if you know what's good for you."
"HA! A legendary pokemon. You've got to be kidding me." She laughed uncontrollably. She then saw he was serious, "Oh, wow you're serious. Okay then, where is this legendary pokemon?"
"For your information it's right here." He crossed his arms. He then looked around and didn't see it anywhere, "um….. it's supposed to be anyway."
"Ha! Your pathetic!" Christy continued to laugh.
"What's that supposed to mean."
"You made up an excuse, just so you could come back here and try to travel with me again. Well I'm sorry, but unfortunately for you I'm not looking for any traveling buddies right now."
"I'd never come back to you, even if it meant dying first." He shouted.
"Oh yeah?"
"Yeah!"
"Oh yeah?"
"YEAH!" Just then, David came bursting into the park, almost completely out of breath. Christy turned to him with a cold glare. "Great, it's you! Will the intrusions never end?"
"Well actually," David stopped to catch his breath, "Considering how this park doesn't even belong to you I can't really be intruding."
"Grr, what are you doing here anyway?" Axon said getting angry at the world.
"I'm not here for either of you two if that's what your wondering." David turned to him "Chamrander and I are here to help a sick baby fire pokemon."
"What? There's no sick pokemon here?" Christy stood up. "Now why don't you both just leave, I'm here for an important meeting."
Macy began to walk into the park as she talked into her tape recorder, "Phase 4 is in progress, and now I will begin with Phase 5 the fina-uh-oh!" She stopped in her tracks, seeing that all three of the trainers were already there. They all ran up to her. "Oh erm…heheh, hey, you're all here already. Well it's real swell to see you."
"Macy, where is that sick baby pokemon?" David asked, "I don't see it anywhere."
"No Macy!" Christy shoved David to the side, "We have to get to that interview right? "
"Forget about that!" Axon pushed them both over, "Tell these two about the big, huge, and rare legendary pokemon you saw here earlier. Go on, tell them!"
"Wait a second," Christy stood back up, "Macy's the one who told you there was a legendary pokemon here? She told me that she needed an interview."
"Now hold on!" David stood up as well, "Macy told you guys that stuff? She told me about the sick pokemon here."
"OKAY! OKAY!" Macy finally blurted out, "I admit it! There is no sick pokemon, there is no legendary pokemon, and I don't need to interview anyone. I just had to get you guys all in the same place."
"You mean, theres no legendary pokemon?" Axon's jaw dropped to the ground.
"So you lied to us, just so we could get together?" Christy crossed her arms.
"and there's no legendary pokemon?" Axon exclaimed still in shock.
"That was really wrong of you." David wagged his finger,
"Hey! Hey! There really isn't a legendary pokemon?" Axon continued to over react.
"AXON, SHUT UP ALREADY!" David and Christy both screamed in his ear. Axon backed away from the two. Christy turned to Macy, "Look, I know you were only trying to help, but the truth is this really doesn't have anything to do with you."
"Oh yes, I know! I promise you it will never happen again." Macy gave her a slight smile Hurry up Oinky. Anytime would be good now, she thought desperately. Just then, Spoink came hopping into the park, with a huge floating pokemon behind it. It looked like a giant turtle with cannons coming out of it's shell. It was a Blastoise. There was a blue force glazed over it's body. It looked as if Spoink was carrying it telepathically. Yes! Way to go Oinky! Just in time.
"Oh look," She walked over to Spoink and the Blastoise, "It's a cute little Spoink. And oh my, what is this? A Blastoise, and it looks like a huge and strong one, I sure hope it's friendly and doesn't attack us."
"Spoink!" Spoink giggled setting Blastoise down. As soon as Blastoise gained it self control back, it jumped up and sent a powerful hydro pump at Macy.
"BLAST!" It roared.
"Oh my, it's attacking me." She put her hand on her forehead dramatically, "What to do. If only there were three trainers who were capable of working together to stop this monstrosity. Ooohhhh noooo."
"You can cut the act Macy." David rolled his eyes.
"Yeah, we're not falling for your tricks again." Axon crossed his arms.
"We can see right through this phony act." added Christy, "Which by the way, your acting could use some work. Well alot of work actually."
" Nooooo, really! Heeeelllp!" Macy tried to convince them, but her acting was getting even worse. "Oh well, it was worth a SSSSSSHHHHHHOTTTT!" She screamed as the Blastoise knocked her over to the side. She got up and turned to Spoink. "Uh…heheh. Okay Oinky, you can tell your friend here that it's over. It can calm down."
"Spoink?" Oinky turned it's head sideways in confusion.
"Oinky," Macy smacked her head on her forehead "please tell me this Blastoise came with you willingly and you DIDN'T force it to come here with your psychic!"
"Spoink! Spoink!" It cheered back. Macy could tell that was exactly what happened.
"Oh boy, than that must mean that this Blastoise is…" She slowly looked up at the Blastoise. It was looking even more angry than befor and inching towards her. "Uh….heh heh, okay Blastoise. I know my Spoink may have carried you against your will, but just calm down and I'm sure we can work something OUUUUTT!"
"TOOOOOIIIISE!" Blastoise shot another huge stream of water at Macy. It was going in a crazy rage. "BLASTOISE! BLASTOISEEEE!"
"WAAAAHHHHH! THIS IS NOT PLEASANT!" Macy screamed running around the park with Spoink away from the angered pokemon. She noticed Axon, David, and Christy all beginning to leave. "HEY! DON'T LEAVE! I KNOW I MADE A BUNCH OF STUFF UP BUT I'M SERIOUS NOW. I REALLY DON'T WANT TO DIE!"
"Fine, Okay Minun let's help her!" Axon turned to Minun. "Use thundershock!"
"MAIIIII!" Minun used all of its mite to release a large amount of electricity on Blastoise. Blastoise only flinched a little bit. It then continued in it's rage.
"BLASTOOOOOOIIIISEEE!" It shot a long stream of water at Minun.
"Mai!" Minun hopped away just in time for the attack to miss.
"Grr, looks like we're gonna' have to go a bit tougher than that." Axon clenched his fist looking at the Blastoise, "Alright, Minun go for a full on thunderbolt attac--"
"Plusle use Spark!" Christy interrupted him.
"Puluhhluuhh!" Plusle charged at an intense speed sparking with electic power surrounding it's body. It charged rite into Blastoise' stomach combining the power of both a quick attack and a thundershock. It did damage, but not enough for Blastoise to back down.
"TTTTOOOOOIIIIISSSEEEE!" Blastoise roared completely enraged.
"Hey, what's the big idea?" Axon turned to Christy, "Minun was about to get that Blastoise down until you came along and ruined everything.
"Attacking from far away isn't going to cut it this time." Christy retorted. "We needed to hit it full on."
"Minun and I were doing just fine. You made it more angry!"
"We did more damage than you did."
"Charmander, take it down with your flamethrower!" David came between both Axon and Christy, tired of waiting.
"CHHAAAAARRR!" Chamrander shot out a large flame out of it's mouth that blasted back Blastoise. Blastoise got right back up, but still looking even weaker than before.
"Oh, real smart David." Axon rolled his eyes sarcastically, "You should know better than either of us that fire attacks don't do much of anything to a water-type."
"Well I didn't see your electric attacks working either." Retorted David, "So why don't you just back off and let me handle this battle."
"No way!" Axon got in David's face, "This Blastoise may not be the Legendary pokemon I was hoping for but I'm gonna' defeat it and catch it anyway."
"You're both wrong!" Christy came between the two, "I'm battling that Blastoise and catching it. Then I'm going to use it in my first Team Competition."
"Enough about your dumb competition! Nobody cares!" Axon shouted.
"Shut up! There so much cooler than gym battles!" Christy retorted.
"Gym battles are much more challenging!" David yelled. "I bet that's why you quit too. Besides, both your battles have been pretty much easy passes."
"TAKE THAT BACK!" Christy screamed at the top of her lungs.
"Maii," Minun tried to shout to them over the screaming. It then turned to Plusle and Charmander. "Maiii Maaiiiii maaiii!"
"Pulllluhluhluh!" Plusle nodded.
"Charrrrr!" Charmander agreed as well. They all turned to the Blastoise letting out three powerful attacks. Charmander with it's flamethrower and Plusle and Minun with their thunder attacks. "CHHHHHAAAARRR!"
"MAIIIIIIIi!" Minun let out a powerful thunderbolt.
"PLUUUUHHHHHH!" Plusle did the same. Blastoise blasted back onto the ground. It didn't have the will to battle anymore. It got up, and ran into the trees away from the park. Axon, David, and Christy all turned to the three.
"Alright Minun!" Axon cheered, "You did it! Great job!"
"What are you congratulating Minun for?" Christy crossed her arms, "Plusle is the one who did all the work. The other two were just there for support."
"You're both wrong!" David jumped in, "It was all Charmander. It's power is much stronger than both of your pokemon."
"Charrr," Chamander sulked as the three continued to bicker with each other. It turned to Plusle and Minun once again. "Charr Charr maan?"
"Maaaii!" Minun nodded.
"Pluhhh!" Plusle nodded as well. The three turned towards the forest and ran off into it to play. The three trainers did not notice. The only one who did notice was Macy, who was standing on the sidelines, unoticed. She walked up to the three of them.
"Um….guys?" She said trying to talk over their fighting, which was getting louder and louder. "Er….heh…guyss…….hey….listen to me!... Hey! ...guys ….errrr ……hello? ...grrrrrrrrrrr QUUUUUUIIIIIIIEEEEEEETTTTTT!" The three finally quieted down, startled by the panting and angry girl. "Geez, have any of you three even noticed that your pokemon are gone?"
"What?" Christy looked down noticing that they were all gone. "Oh no! Plusle! Plusle! Where are you? Great, nice job guys! You lost the pokemon! Was it really so hard just to do one thing?"
"What? You weren't watching the pokemon either." Axon crossed his arms.
"Yeah? Well I think it's both of your faults!" David wagged his finger.
"Well what makes you so perfect?" Christy shouted.
"Grrrrr,' Macy growled as the three once again continued to fight. She then turned to Spoink, "That's it! Oinky, use psycic!"
"Sppppoooiiinnnk!" Spoink began to concentrate. Suddenly, Axon, David, and Christy became glazed over with a blue haze and began to float into the air.
"WAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!" They all screamed being lifted into the air.
"Now Listen up!" Macy walked up to them. "You're not going to find your pokemon by fighting more. So for now on until we find them, everytime you begin to bicker,Oinky here will take care of you. Now understand?"
"Yea-yea-whatever, just let us down." Christy whined.
"Quit whining Christy, she's just trying to help!" Said Axon.
"Don't tell her what to do." David shouted.
"Don't tell me what to do! What is she, your girlfriend?" Axon teased.
"I said…UNDERSTAND!" Macy Practically exploded.
"Y-yes ma'am." They all stuttered, startled by her outburst.
"Good, now Oinky, let them down now!" Macy's frown turned to a big smile. Spoink retrieved its psychic attack and all three trainers fell flat on their behinds. "Now, I think we'll get along just dandy. If you all cooperate that is. Hee hee."
"Guys, this girl scares me." Christy whispered over to Axon and David.
"Um…sorry," David stood up, "But what do you mean cooperate? Cooperate with what?"
"Oh, you certaintly are a silly one aren't you." Macy giggled. "I mean Cooperate when we go off and look for your three adorable little pokemon. So are you guys ready to get going?"
"Now hold on just a minute!" Axon stood up, "I already said there was no way I was going anywhere with these two ever again. Forget it! I'm going to look for Minun by myself."
"Argh, you are so selfish!" Christy put her hands on her hips, "Plusle and Charmander are both gone too, and you're not even going to help look for them."
"Hey! I don't need your help finding Charmander." David said, "I can find all three of those pokemon all by myself."
"You're both getting on my last nerves!" Christy began to shout.
"Grrrr, just shut up! Both of you just close your mouths!" David shouted as well.
"Oinky," Macy called to Spoink.
"Spooooiiiinnnkk!" Spoink used psychic once again lifting all three into the air.
"Waah! Not again!" Axon trembled.
"Let me make one thing crystal clear for the three of you," Macy began pleasantly. "YOU'RE ALL COMING WITH ME TO LOOK FOR YOUR POKEMON, EVERYONE'S GOING TO BE HAPPY, AND THERE'S NOT A DOGGONE THING ANYONE OF YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT! Tee Hee, got it?"
"Y-yes ma'am!" They stuttered, once again caught ff guard by Macy's spontainious explosion. Spoink let them fall down once again. Axon rubbed his back. "Ouch! Couldn't she had let us down a bit more gently?"
"Ok everybody! Chop, chop! Hurry up and get off your butts!" Macy clapped her hands. "Oinky and I will lead the way. Let's go now! It's time to find your pokemon." So the three stood up and followed Macy and Spoink into the trees, where they would hopefully find there pokemon.
Meanwhile, the pokemon played deep inside the forest, although they weren't at all sure where they were. "Puhluhluhluh!" Plusle bounced around Minun and Charmander as they continued their famous game of tag. Plusle was it this time. It pounced onto Charmander, tagging it. "Pluhluhluh!"
"Charrr!" Charmander laughed falling onto the ground. The three pokemon decided to rest against a tree. It was then that Minun looked up and realized that they were completely lost.
"Maaiiii maiii!" It stood up looking around frantically. It then turned to it's friends, suggesting they start looking for away back. "Maii maii maii!"
"Pluhh!" Plusle jumped when Minun told them they were lost and then agreed. "Puluhh puluhh!"
"Charr!' Charmander nodded in agreement as well. Charmander and Plusle got up from their resting spots and began to follow Minun, who was playing as the leader of the three. They had been walking for about an hour when they heard something rustle in the bushes. They all stopped and turned around to see the huge water pokemon from before, explode out of the bushes.
"BLASTOOIISE!" It roared when it saw the three pokemon beneath it. Blastoise swung an angry claw at them. Plusle, Minun, and Charmander quickly dodged the attack and scrambled into different directions. They all surrounded the Blastoise. Blastoise looked around, wondering which one he should attack next. It was then that it spotted Charmander, a fire pokemon. A sly smirk came across it's face. Blastoise backed up, making it look like it was about to surrender, when it blasted a huge pump of water at Charmander.
"CHAAARRRR!" Charmander shrieked in pain, as the water blasted him back onto the ground.
"Pluh pluh!" Plusle quickly hopped over to help.
"Maii!" Minun did the same. Charmander couldn't move. It was almost passed out. Plusle and Minun quickly turned around, as the Blastoise cornered them into one spot. They held each other close, bracing themselves for a massive attack.
Meanwhile, Axon, Christ, and David continue to follow Macy through the long and mazeful forest, shielding their ears from more of her barking orders. "Let's march, march, march!" She ordered . "Come on you lamos, move your feet!"
"In about a second my foots gonna be moving on your face!" Christy muttered to herself. She began to whisper to David and Axon, "Come on guys! The three of us can take her out, and no one has to know about it."
"So like you to result to violence." David rolled his eyes.
"Grrr," Christy began to say something when Macy and spoink turned around. A cold, warning, glare on their faces. "Uh…heh, heh. I wasn't growling…er….it was…my stomach. Yah! That's it! My stomach! Boy am I hungry, ehheheheh!"
"Better tell your "stomach" to be quiet then." She smirked and then turned back round.
"Huh?" Axon quickly turned to the side. "What was that?"
"What was what?" David asked turning to Axon.
"There it is again!" He said. "It's coming from over there."
"Yeah!" Christy nodded, "I hear it now too. It sounds like…(gasp!)…it sounds like Plusle..a-and Minun too!"
"And Charmander's with them right?" David he ran up to them. "You can hear Charmader can't you?"
"No…I can't" Christy shook her head.
"Alright then!" Macy barked, "Then lead us to thy pokemon. " So the four of them headed into the direction where Axon and Christy heard the sounds of their pokemon. Their fast paced walks slowly turned into a run, as the sound became even louder. So loud that even David was beginning to hear. It wasn't long until they arrived at the source of the sound. Their pokemon themselves.
"Hey look! It is Plusle and Minun!" Christy pointed at Plusle and Minun who were being cornered by the giant Blastoise.
"And hey!" Axon pointed out, "Isn't that the same Blastoise from before?"
"Wait a second…..Charmander!" David exclaimed, spotting Charmander behind Plusle and Minun, "Oh, no! Charmander's hurt! We have to help him!"
"Then don't just stand there," Macy ordered, "Get over there and help them!"
"Right! Don't worry Charmander!" David pulled out a pokeball, "Ariados, go!"
"Hey guys, Teddiursa is on the way!" Christy tossed out Teddiursa's pokeball.
"And Pidgeotto will help out too!" Axon through a pokeball out in the air. All thee of their pokemon appeared. Axon attacked first, "Pidgeotto, quick attack, now!"
"Pidgeooott!" Pidgeotto flew at an intense speed coming straight for Blastoise.
"Blast!" Blastoise embraced the attack full on, then swung Pidgeotto off of it into the ait. It didn't do much damage.
"It's alright Pideotto. Get right back in there with wing attack!" He ordered.
"Piidddgg" Pidgeotto chirped as it flew into Blastoise, with it's wings turning sharp like blades. This barely hurt Blastoise either. It countered with a sharp swipe with it's claw, that knocked out Pidgeotto on the ground.
"Oh-no! Pidgeotto, return!" Axon retrieved his pokemon.
"My turn! Teddiursa, use fury swipes"Christy shouted.
"Teddi-urse!" Teddiursa charged, slashing it's claws back and forth. Like before, Blastoise coutered it with a block, and tossed it into the air.
"Swift, in the air!" Christy ordered.
"Ursa-urse!" Teddiursa shot bladed stars out of it's forehead, and onto Blastoise, while airborn.
"Blastoise!" Blastoise shielded itself from the attack, reducing the effect. Blastoise charged into the air, knocking Teddiursa out.
"Return Teddiursa!" Christy sucked Teddiursa back into the pokeball, "It looks like it's up to you now David!"
"Fine," David nodded, "Ariados, use spider web!"
"Arrr,tck,tck!" Ariados buzzed, as it shot a huge web, onto Blastoise. This time, Blastoise was caight in it's spot. It struggled to move inside, fussing and squirming in the web.
"Good, now follow it up with poison sting!" David ordered. Ariados sent, what looked like a purple needle, coming straight for Blastoise. It looked like it was all over for Blastoise, but just then, Blastoise ripped open the Spider web, and blasted the poison sting back with a hydro pump, and sent Ariados slamming back onto the ground.
"Grr, Ariados return!" David grunted sadly. "Now what? I'm all out of usable pokemon."
"It's not over yet you lamos!" Macy ordered.
"Listen Macy, we're doing the best we can!" Axon crossed his arms.
"No, you're not!" Macy got firm, "You listen to me right now! You've already forced your pokemon to run away by your constant bickerering, but you can't let them down twice. And if you give up now, that's what you'll be doing. Letting them down. Again!"
"So what'd you suppose we do?" Christy asked.
"Axon, Christy, listen!" She explained, "Plusle and Minun are still able to battle. Blastoise maybe a fully evolved pokemon, but it's also a fully evolved water pokemon. Helloooo? Electic type? Water type? Am I ringing any bells here?"
"Axon, she's right." Christy said, "Plusle and Minun would defintitely be strong against a water type like Blastoise."
"Then for now,maybe working together isn't such a bad idea.." Axon propsed.
"Right! Hey Plusle! Minun!" Christy shouted over to the two pokemon. Plusle and Minun looked over spotting their trainers. "Listen guys, I know we haven't been acting that great lately,"
"But," Axon began to finish her sentence, "If you wanna finish off the Blastoise for good, then you're just going to have to to trust us."
"Pluh!" Plusle nodded.
"Maiii maaii!" Minun did the same. The two both stood up, getting ready for their orders.
"Okay guys, lets start out with spark!" Axon shouted.
"Together!" Christy added in.
Pluhhhhhh!" Plusle charged up with energy.
"Maaaaiiiii!" Minun did the same. Once they stored up enough, they both charged at Blastoise, sparkng with power. They rammed right into it, combining the power of both a quick attack and a thundershock. Blastoise, stumbled back, looking weaker.
"Nice, now Minun use thunderbolt." Axon shouted.
"Plusle, thundershock now!" Christy ordred.
"Maaaiiiiiiiiiiii!" Minun released powerful electric surges out of it's body.
"Puluuuhhh!" Plusle did the same. Blastoise fell back on to the ground.
"Ch-charrmander…" Charmander began to wake up. David quickly ran over and helped it to it's feet.
"Charmander," David said as Charmander struggled to stay up, "Take it easy buddy. You're still hurt."
"Okay, let's make sure this thing doesn't decide to wake up again." Macy stepped up turning to Spoink, "Ready Oinky? Blast that blue monster away with psychic!"
"Spooooiiinnk!" Spoink concentrated, closing it's eyes. Blastoise began to rise, glazed over with a hazey blue. Then, Spoink tossed it way into the air, where it became smaller and smaller until it was nothing but a distant star.
"BLAAASSSSSSTTT!" Blastoise roared as it flew away.
"Yes! Good job Oinky!" Macy got down on her knees and hugged spoink.
"Spoink! Spoink!" Spoink cheered.
"Good job Spoink! You too, Macy!" Axon smiled, when suddenly he felt Minun jump into his arms in a big hug. "Haha, I didn't forget you either Minun. I'm so happy I've got you back now."
"Plusle! Come here you!" Christy giggled running up to Plusle as she hopped into her trainer's arms. "I'm so sorry we haven't been acting like very good friends lately, but please don't ever scare me like that again."
"Puluhh!" Plusle nodded in a promise. It then hopped out of her arms, as Minun did the same, running over to play with Spoink. Soon, Charmander found the strength to do the same.
"Hey guys.." David said walking over, "I know we've had our differences lately, but thanks for helping out anyway. Without you, I don't know what would've happened to Charmander."
"Hey, no matter what our problems are, we can't let the pokemon get hurt." Axon smiled, nodding.
"Yeah," Christy giggled. She looked over at the pokemon, who had just added Spoink to their game of tag. "Man, look at those guys. There such good buddies. All that craziness just happened, and they're still playing around like everything's just fine."
"Well duhh!" Macy rolled her eyes walking over. "Helloo? That's what friends do! They don't care what happen's down the road, they still stay friends no matter what. That's what true friends do anyway."
"Macy…" Axon began.
"I'm just saying." Macy interupted, "That if I had a good friend or two, I would make sure I never stop. I might even (cough cough) keep traveling with them (cough cough)
"Um…Macy…" David tried.
"No no," Macy continued, "If you guys really can't stick together, that's none of my buisness. I'm just saying, I'd never let anything like that happen. But of course, that's just me."
"Haha, Macy chill!" Christy laughed at Macy's silliness. "Listen, Axon, David. I'm going to be perfectly honest with you. I don't want to stop traveling with you guys."
"Really?" Axon exclaimed, "I-I mean…me neither. I just said it, because you guys said it."
"No way!" David jumped in disbelief. "T-that's exactly how I feel. So…why don't we just pick up where we left off. I mean…It's getting kinda dark right now but.."
"Than heres the thing." Christy interupted. "We need to head back to Cosimo town, and spend another night at the pokemon center. I'm sorry that I'm pulling you guys behind schedule, but I'm going to be a Pokemon Team captain whether you guys approve or not. So it's up to you whether you want to still come or not."
"Christy," Axon said, "We're behind you. I don't think I've ever seen you this pationate about anything. And if it means that much to you, then I don't wanna miss it."
"Me too." David smiled.
"Thanks guys." Christy giggled. "Well then Macy, we're going back to the pokemon cen—Macy?" Christy looked around her. Macy was nowhere insight. Spoink was gone too. "Hey, where did Macy go?"
"I..don't know." David itched his head. "She was hear barely a minute ago. Hey, Charmander, Plusle, Minun, did you guys see what happened to Spoink?"
All the pokemon shook their heads.
"Well, maybe shes back in town." Said Axon, "Let's head back, okay?"
"Yeah!" Christy and David both nodded, picking up the pokemon. They all headed back to the pokemon center, where they had a good night's rest, feeling warmer than the night before.
The next morning, the three all woke up early, this time together, to give their pokemon a good healing session, and to get Christy first in line for her registery in the Pokemon Team Competition.
"Now," Nurse Joy said, "All I need to know, is your name and your hometown."
"My name is Christy," She smiled excitedly, "And I'm from Pallet town."
"Okay, now just wait a bit for you pass to come out." Nurse Joy said typing on the computer. In a matter of minutes. A pass with Christy's picture on it, and all her information, came out of a machine behind the desk. Nurse Joy handed it to her, as well as a sheet of paper and a case. "Here is your Team pass. It's the only thing you'll need to ensure you can enter the Team Competitions. This is a list of towns in which a team competition will be held within the next year. Make sure you enter as early as possible before the entry is full. And this is your pokefigure case. Once you fill this up with six different pokefigures, you'll be able to enter the Grand Gathering."
"Thank you so much Nurse Joy." Christy took all of the items, "I can't believe this. It's like a dream. But, which one should I head to first."
"Well," David looked at the map, and the list at the same time. "It looks like the next place the Team Competition will be held is in Crystal town, on Crystal Island. But this map….it only marks how to get to all the Pokemon league gyms. So, I have no idea how to get there."
"Oh, I can help with that." Nurse Joy walked around her desk and pointed out the window. "Just over those mountains, and further down the route, there's a port where a ferry drops by once a week, carrying any passengers in need to Crystal town. All you have to is hike up that mountain, and then it's about a day's walk to the port. You'll be in Crystal town by early next week, just in time for the Competition."
"Really?" Christy clenched her fist. "Normally I'd be upset about hiking up a mountain but I'll make an exception for this."
"Well then," Nurse Joy smiled, "Good luck to all of you."
"Thanks for everything Nurse Joy." They all waved, as she left into the back room to tend to the rest of the pokemon.
"Yoohooo! Trainers!" A familiar voice called running out of the elevator.
"Macy!" They all exclaimed running up to her. Axon spoke, "Hey, where'd you disappear to yesterday?"
"Well, to finish writing my story of course." Macy giggled, pulling out a newspaper. "Which happened to be a front page headliner!"
"Hey, congrats!" David smiled.
"Char!" Charmander cheered on the top of his head.
"Thank you very much!" She smiled showing them the paper. All of them were surprised to see an embaracing picture of them all shouting at eachother with the title "AMAZING REPORTER GIVES TROUBLED TRIO ANGER MANAGEMENT!"
"WHAAAATTTT???" Axon jumped at the picture.
"WHAT THE HECK!" David exclaimed in disbelief.
"MY IMAGE IS RUINED! THE SHAMME!" Christy covered her face up. All three of the pokemon fell off of their trainer's in laughter.
"Oh, don't be so dramatic." Macy rolled her eyes. "You guys got my mojo back. Now I'm at the top of my game. Besides, you guys were heroes in the story…well…..sidekicks more like it."
"SIDEKICKS?!!" They all screamed.
"Don't worry, only half of the Kanto region reads the Pokemon daily." Macy smirked. "Maybe this'll teach you not to fight so much."
"Ugh, guess you're right in some twisted way." Axon sulked. "Anyway, we're on ouy way to Crystal Island, so I guess this is goodbye for now."
"Actually," Macy suddenly became very nervous. "That's uh..heh, heh…kinda what I wanted to talk to you about. Well ya see, I haven't gotten a good story in such a long time. And from what I understand, you guys face crazy things like this all the time. So I was wondering…sorta,kinda….for Professional reasons of course…if maybe, possibly..I could…"
"You're lonely aren't ya?" Christy gave Macy a "no nonsense" look.
"Heh,heh, yes." Macy looked even more ebarassed.
"Well, you did totally mess up our reputation." David itched his head, "But you also kept us inline when we lost our minds yesterday."
"So what David's saying is the more the merrier." Axon smiled. "Right Minun?"
"Maii!" Minun nodded hopping back on Axon's shoulder.
"You really mean it?" Macy shook in excitement. "Yes! Then let's not waste anytime then. I can't wait to meet the goon trio."
"Ha! Who needs them." Christy smirked. " Plusle, our first Team Competition is right over those mountains, so are you ready?"
"Pluhh!" Plusle cheered.
"Good, than let's go!" Christy lead the gang out marching out the pokemon center.
So now, with a new member to the team, the gang sets off towards the mountains, where new adventures await them once again.
