Chapter X- Sam Umino: The Ninja of Pokemon Hello, welcome to my first document written on Open Office Writer. Since the internet is stinky on every computer on the house except my dad's, I'm just going to type this while I wait for it to well maybe WORK. So walking through the halls today, inspiration stuck. Today, actually, a lot of inspiration stuck me as I let my mind wander. Part of this chapter was that inspiration, as well as a couple of other random things. Without further ado, I present Chapter X SUTNOP. __________________________THIS IS A LINE BREAK_
As the three parted, Sam began to wonder what she would do. She could imagine that Ash would try to find some sort of gym, and Joseph would plan some evil scheme, but what would she do?

Days passed. Sam now had five Pokemon with her: Yoshin, Poliwag, Magikarp, Buizel, and Marril. Sam still had no idea what she would do, she found herself wandering aimlessly by a river. As she thought for the thousandth time what now, a brown cat blocked her path.

"Who are you?" Sam asked.

"Names are not important," the cat hissed. "And besides, it's none of your business!"

"Pika pika," Yoshin retorted. (If you're blocking our way, it is our business)

"No one asked you, Mousey," the brown cat growled. "I bring a gift."

"A gift?" Samasked.

Suddenly, a yellow she-cat with green eyes that sometimes flashed blue appeared. "Listen. If you're not going to to your job nicely like a Walmart employee, then don't do your job. I'll do this myself. Go."

The brown cat rolled her eyes, gave a package to the yellow cat, and left.

"I apologize for my former messenger," the yellow she-cat mewed. "We never were on the best of terms."

"Who are YOU?" Sam asked once again, sure that this cat was going to kill her or something.

"My name? I've had many names. But Spottedpaw13 works," Spottedpaw13 replied.

"You have a gift for me?" Sam inquired.

"Oh, yes," Spottedpaw13 mewed. "Here." The yellow cat handed Sam a red Poke Ball.

"A Cherish Ball!" Sam gasped. "These are very rare!"

"Yes. Inside is a Jirachi. I'm intrusting the Jirachi to you for now."

"But....me? Why?"

"The most obvious reason is that in your party, you have enough room for one more Pokemon, Spottedpaw13 explained. The main reason is I trust you."

"Shouldn't you pick someone more....experienced?" Like Joseph? Sam couldn't help thinking.

"Point taken," Spottedpaw13 admitted. "I admit that I gave Arceus to Joseph for his experience. He has eight badges, making him one of few people I could give Arceus to that Arceus would actually listen to. But Jirachi is nowhere near that strong. It's in the stage where it will listen to anyone that takes care of it. I made a mistake with Joseph. I hope I've made the correct choice this time." With that final thought, Spottedpaw13 disappeared.

The next day, Sam still couldn't believe it. But it was true.

And suddenly, Sam found what she wanted to do. She was going to train her six Pokemon to beat Joseph. As if the thought summoned him, Joseph appeared.

"Sam," Joseph greeted Sam.

"Joseph," Sam said.

"Nice weather we're having, hmm?" Joseph asked.

"Why are you holding your hand out like that?" Sam demanded. Joseph was holding one of his hands out like a stop signal.

"That's not important," Joseph replied. "How's life been treating you?"

"Pretty good," Sam muttered. "You get any less evil since the last time we saw each other?"

"You're pushing my patience," Joseph warned her.

"Oh, that's too bad. What's even worse is that I don't have evil tea," Sam retorted.

Joseph didn't reply, he only changed his hand from a stop position to a go position. And then Arceus appeared, attacking Yoshin.

Sam let Jirachi out of its Cherish Ball. "You'll pay for that. Jirachi, Draco Meteor!" Somehow, this level 5 Jirachi, which is from the current Gamestop event (in America), knows Draco Meteor, the strongest Dragon attack we words know of. Don't ask.

"Pika pika pika?" Yoshin asked weakly. (How does it know that move)

We mean it. DON'T ASK. Anyway, we words honestly don't know what Draco Meteor does, but we imagine it makes meteors fall from the sky. So let's just say that's what happened.

Joseph laughed. "Do you honestly think that;s going to work? That little thing is no match for Arceus!"

"He has a point," Arceus added.

They're right Sam thought. NONE of my Pokemon stand a chance to the strongest legendary Pokemon there is at full power! What do I do?

And then there was the idea.

"Yoshin, are you able to get up?" Sam asked her first Pokemon.

"Pika. Pika pika?" Yoshin reported. (Sure, whatever. What's your bright idea, eh)

"Get over here," Sam told the shiny Pikachu, making the rat hand signal*. "I have an idea."

"Pika pika," Yoshin retorted as he ran to Sam. (I kinda knew that.) The Pikachu jumped on Sam's shoulder.

"Double Team," Sam whispered.

Yoshin nodded. Suddenly, there were many copies of Sam with Yoshin on her shoulder. If you're wondering 'wait, what?', don't ask. We all know the Pokemon anime never makes sense.

Arceus charged at one of the copies, but it wasn't the real thing. The copy vanished in lightning, causing Arceus to fly backwards.

"You'll pay for that!" Arceus growled as he got back up. He began to attack again, but a lightning bolt appeared from the sky, striking him. "Arrrgh!"

Joseph looked up. "It's a clear sky. Really, now, I didn't think you'd be that good. You win today, but I'll be back." The evil Pokemon trainer recalled Arceus. ""Looks like it's time for try eighty of catching Mesprit." Joseph turned around and left.

"Wow," Sam gasped. "That....was....AWESOME!" The ninja (honestly, this sorta qualifies her as a ninja) ruffled the fur (or whatever it is) on Yoshin's head. "Good job, buddy!"

Yoshin shrugged. "Pika pika." (No problem)

With this victory in mind, Sam recalled Jirachi and went downstream with Yoshin. It was time for some training.

*It's the only hand signal I know. I was born in the year of the rat, making it an automatic cool hand signal. Plus it plain looks cool, if LeafNinja has it right. I hope it does, for their sake.

Just so you know, from now on I'm typing chapters up on Open Office so that it's less likely for the computer to mess up while I'm typing. (Believe me, it's annoying). And yes, the level five Jirachi I received from GAMESTP (Gamestop) knows Draco Meteor. Kinda odd move for a Steel/Psychic type.
Sam is beginning to remind me of Thalia. That's just the random jutsu that occurred. I made it all up, but the Double Team Lightning thing is based off of the Lightning Shadow Clone Jutsu thing that apparently only Kakashi can do. I do not own that, or the random lightning bolt, I got that idea from Percy Jackson and the Olympians.
Remind me to tell people in all of my stories about Open Office because of the line breaks.
