** That's the best way to describe him. At least I'm still alive.
Well, I read an old issue of Shonen Jump last night, issue 3 of volume 7 [thanks for the Naruto manga! Ha, sarcasm] and I read about the wonderful chakra stuff. Yay.
"...Fine," Mew replied. "Protecting the good is more important than capturing the evil. Let him go."
Azelf and Gyarados nodded and released Joseph and Minun. Deidara and Sasori released Sam. That's how you use hostages. Anyway, then the three Pokemon Akatsuki and the two Akatsuki members disappeared.
"....What the heck?" Ash asked.
"I don't know," Sam shrugged. "I just know that Joseph over there is evil."
"...I'm RIGHT HERE!" Joseph told her.
"Whatever." Sam rolled her eyes. "I just know that....Ooh, a poliwag!"
As Sam mentioned, a Poliwag was making its way to the three Pokemon trainers/former ninja.
"Hey, Poliwag, do you want to be my friend?" Sam asked.
"PIKA!" Yoshin protested. (That's way too cheesey, Sam.)
"You have a point," Sam muttered as the Poliwag ran away. "Ooh, look, another Poliwag! Hi, Poliwag! How's it going?"
The second Poliwag ran to Sam and grinned.
"Pika," Yoshin sighed. (Much better.) "Pika?" (Anyone else notice that in the last scene of last chapter, I disappeared? That's very annoying.)
"Yeah," Ash replied. "Almost as annoying as you, Yoshin."
"PIKA!" (hey!)
"Hey, Sam, are you completely sure that you couldn't be a ninja?" Joseph asked innocently.
Sam gave Joseph the evil eye and turned away.
"Evil or not, Joseph has a point," Ash reminded her.
"Okay, you've got me," Sam muttered. "There is something I can do, but it requires a sheet of paper."
Ash held out a random sheet of paper/
"A piece of LITMUS paper," Sam added. "Which I have right here." Sam pulled out a sheet of paper. "Aw, it's wrinkled."
"Here." Ash gave her a sheet of litmus paper. "Merry Christmas."
"Happy New Year!" Joseph added.
Sam rolled her eyes and took the sheet of litmus paper. Soon, the paper was wrinkled.
"Does that mean anything?" Ash asked.
"Other than the fact that you apparently have the power to wrinkle paper," Joseph added.
"Well, is that so?" Sam asked. "It appears that my chakra nature is lightning."
"Pika pika pika!" Yoshin announced suddenly. (You know what's weird? The fact that all the nature stuff is backwards between Naruto and Pokemon. Lightning/Electric and Earth/Ground is a good example. Lightning style is superior to Earth style, but Ground attacks dominate Electric Pokemon. The same is true backwards, Earth style is inferior to Lightning styke, but Electric attacks don't harm a ground Pokemon at all. Wait, you're a ninja?)
"So, that means you're a ninja, right?" Ash asked.
"Actually, I never got through school, but technically I can be a ninja," Sam muttered.
"Nice," Joseph agreed.
"Alright, bye," Sam sighed.
"Huh?" Ash asked.
"Well, it's just not going to work. Joseph is evil, I'm...not evil, and no one here really likes Ash. Obviously it just doesn't work out."
"It did for like a chapter," Joseph protested.
"Why are you trying to save the group when two minutes ago you were trying to butcher it?" Sam demanded.
"I wasn't, I was just curious!" Joseph replied.
"Yeah, this isn't working out," Ash agreed with Sam. "At least not with you two in the same group."
"I'm still not going to be a ninja," Sam muttered. "Yoshin, Poliwag and I are going to have our own adventure. Bye."
And with that, Sam turned around and left.
"....Do you still want to hang out with me?" Ash asked Joseph.
"Not really," Joseph told hmi as he went somewhere else.
Ash shrugged. "Oh well."
"Pika!" Yoshin shouted. "Come on, I was just beginning to like those guys!"
"Too bad," Sam grumpily replied, making Yoshin flinch.
See, it didn't really work out for more than a couple of chapters. Still, this isn't the last of Ash and Joseph, mark my words.
Despite what you're thinking, NO, Sam isn't going to be a ninja. Not yet, anyway. I just felt like announcing what I decided her chakra nature is.
