Hey guys, it's me again! It feels so good to be back. Firstly i apolagise for the humongous delay of everything but it wasn't my fault. The security was playing up on my computer and letting in load of dodgy virus's and stuff like that. it took forever to get fixed and at one point we thought it did until our whole internet protection got removed making it risky to go on the internet and risk bringing in even more virus's. Hopefully it's ok now though. Anyway i hope this chapter you will find worth the wait. Enjoy! (And before you say anything Haine-Chan No not yet but almost i promise)
Ciao,
AnnaWookie
As I said I would the next morning I prepared myself to go out in search of a strong, suitable flying type to add to my team. I decided to teleport using a Kadabra caught as an Abra near the day-care centre when on my shopping trip with Will to Goldenrod City a while back. My reaction to the teleporting hadn't improved much since the first time I teleported just after exiting Union Cave and as soon as I reappeared in my chosen destination I felt nauseous.
"Hey is it possible for my organs to get rearranged during teleportation?" I asked the Kadabra. It looked blankly at me.
"Because I think I feel my stomach jostling my lungs up in my rib cage." I said weakly, feeling worse by the second. Kadabra shrugged and returned to its poke ball.
All of a sudden, I felt as if I was going to be sick. Franticly glancing round for something to stop it, I spotted a lady who was returning to her house.
"Excuse me!" I exclaimed sprinting up to her as fast as I could, my hand clamped over my mouth.
The lady turned around and realising my predicament let me into her house. After five minutes, I was feeling better. I thanked the lady for her generosity and set off to find a flying type.
As I wandered through the centre of Vermilion city I began thinking about how similar this world was to the one I knew back home. My thoughts were soon broken however when I walked into someone else.
"Oh sorry about that, I was daydreaming." I hastily apologised.
"Its ok, What were you thinking deeply about?" the stranger asked.
I looked at them to answer but was speechless when I realised who I had crashed into. He had silver hair and wore a black suit. He was the ex champion of the hoenn region far away. He was Steven Stone, a rock enthusiast and lover of steel type Pokemon. Beside him stood an Aron, tiny tortoise like creature with a steel mask over its face and two large eyes peeking through it.
"I'm so sorry, I seem to be making a habit of this." I said apologetically.
"Its ok, well what were you thinking about so hard?" Steven asked curiously.
"Well I need a flying type to use as transport as I don't think my stomach can take much more teleporting." I explained, having a flashback to earlier. "
Say no more Anna, I know just the thing for you!" Steven exclaimed eagerly, putting his hand on my back and practically pushing me along next to him.
"But- how do you know my name?" I asked confused.
"A lot of people know who you are Anna, its very rare for anyone to get into the indigo plateau in the circumstances you did." He answered. I felt a wave of relief. For a moment I thought people knew about me not coming from here.
"What about one of these?" Steven asked, gesturing in front of him.
Near the entrance to the town stood a Large silver bird, completely covered in thick armour. Its wings were red and so jagged looking, they appeared to be able to slice through concrete like warm butter.
"A Skarmory!" I said in surprise. Steven nodded.
"The perfect bird. Powerful, fast, large enough to carry heavy weights and best of all a Steel type." I rolled my eyes at the last bit causing Steven to laugh.
"Ok, ok, I will shut up about the steel type." he joked. I smiled, my attention on the bird in front of me.
"That would be perfect. Where did you catch yours?"
"In my home region. But I have one I am willing to trade for. it's young and wishes to travel round and become strong. I could easily train it but I am happy with my current Skarmory, Blade, that you see before you so have no need for his offspring too." Steven explained.
"Fine" I said thoughtfully, "But what do you want traded for it?"
"You stated that you dislike teleporting, hence the reason for wanting something that knows fly. Well my father, you probably know who he is so I won't bother explaining, isn't the biggest fan of trainers but does own a few different types. Well he is in need of a psychic type to help his researchers to develop a new item for trainers to use." Steven replied. I caught on to what he was suggesting.
"So you want me to trade you the Kadabra for your Skarmory."
"Precisely." Steven said.
And so that was that. Within a minute I had received the flying type I was looking for. I thanked Steven a million times for Skarmory and went in search of something to quench my hunger. Before heading back off to the Indigo Plateau, my mobile phone began to vibrate in my pocket. Whipping it out, I glanced the callers ID.
"Hello." I said into the receiver. "
Hey, You left early this morning, are avoiding me or something?" the familiar tone of Will almost sung back. I smiled at the glorious tone of the person who was the centre of my world.
"Hell yeah, I was so fed up of you and your annoying Jynx, I left early this morning." I answered back sarcastically.
Will laughed. "Lady GaGa is not annoying bless her, she's just very fond of me and Bruno's muscles. ...Well how did you get on?"
"Perfecto! I now own a new member of my team. I will show all you guys when I get back in about 30 minutes to an hour." I told the happy sounding psychic trainer.
"That's too long for me to wait! Ha-ha. See you later." Will said his tone a mixture between mocking and happiness. F
orty-five minutes later me and Silver (the Skarmory) landed at the front of the plateau. Immediately I was welcomed by Karen who was yelling something at a child who looked about thirteen. The child turned on his heel and fled as soon as Karen's attention turned on me. I threw her a questioning glance.
"Little - idiot was trying to suggest we cheat by using full restores when he used one the turn before I did. I shook my head in mock disgust to please Karen, but clearly remembered how it annoyed me when my move left one HP on an Elite Four's Pokemon and next turn they would use a full restore.
"Hey a skarmory! Did you know that despite being birdlike, It's mouth contains many small sharp teeth." Karen said eagerly. "
Do you have a lot of trivia?" I asked.
"Masses, like did you know a shiny parasect's colouring is nearly the same as a regular paras's colour. Also no other Pokemon is a dark/flying type like Murkrow." Eventually Karen gave up on the trivia and decided to "surprise" everyone by cooking dinner. I returned Silver to his ball then followed her inside.
While the chill out room was being refurbished everyone tended to relocate to round the dining table. Before I had even gotten inside, I could easily hear an argument going on. It appeared to be between Koga and Lance. I sighed and entered the room. Immediately, the argument stopped as they all acknowledged my arrival. Lance greeted me while Koga scowled and stared downwards at the table.
"Any luck" Lance said, trying to sound casual but his irritation easily noticeable in his voice. I nodded.
"Is everything ok?" I asked Will who was sitting at the table next to Bruno, both looking about as interested as I must of during Karen's lecture about poke' trivia.
"Fine just great! Never better!" snapped Koga, his eyes not moving from the table. I recoiled from the abrupt answer and instead focused my attention on Bruno who asked me what I caught.
Releasing Silver from his ball I was about to explain the circumstances in which I received him, when my phone began ringing again.
"Hold on." I politely said to Bruno, Lance and Will who all were waiting for me to continue. I didn't recognise the number but answered anyway.
"Hello, this is Anna." I said .
"Hey Anna, how's it going? Was your flight better than that teleporting nonsense?" the voice answered back.
"Steven!" I said in surprise. The elite four minus Karen (who was preparing something inedible in the kitchen) all looked at me in confusion.
"Yup, the one and only. Listen I wanted to tell you your Kadabra seemed to settle in great. Oh and I forgot to tell you that the Skarmory I gave you is pretty stubborn so you may need to use a strong will at first to show him who's boss. I'm glad he didn't try to throw you off when you rode him home."
I froze abruptly.
"Did he attempt to throw you off his back then? I asked, my face serious dreading the answer.
"He did the first time I tried to train him to carry a human but once he saw me as boss, he didn't dare try anything." Steven said in a reassuringly casual manor.I paused for a second, running over what I had just been told.
"You never said that before." I said my voice slightly wavering.
"For your own benefit Anna. If I told you that before you rode him, you would anticipate him doing it thus increase the chances of it happening." Steven reasoned.
"True. Thanks for that Steven, you saved me many hours searching. See ya." I finally said understanding his reasoning.
"Bye Anna." The phone line went dead and I snapped shut my phone.
"You have Steven the champion of the Hoenn regions phone number." Will said slowly, his eyes wide. "Do you know you're impossible!" he added afterwards shaking his head in amusement. Lance smiled. He obviously shared the same view as Will did.
"Why do you say that?" I answered indignantly. "I only got it today and it wasn't intentional, it just happened that I met Steven in Vermilion city. Besides i have Lances Phone number and he is the champion of Johto" I argued tilting my head in Lances direction. He stared at me, eyebrows slightly raised.
At that point Karen came in with "dinner" so I proceeded to tell the five of them how I gained Silver the Skarmory. Lance shook his head in bemused.
"You attract more famous people than we do" he laughed. Will agreed.
"Jealous" I mocked.
"No, of course not. I couldn't care less who you meet" Will retorted. Karen rolled her eyes at Will's sudden defensive body language. She obviously thought he felt otherwise.
"Well I don't care what you say "champion" but I am going to Fuchsia city tonight". Koga said abruptly, placing his plate on the side and stalking out the door. He sent a furious look at Lance before he went, that soon focussed on all of us individually. The door that sectioned the main hallway to the foyer of the Indigo Plateau slammed violently. Karen and Bruno went to look out the window to try and see Koga's fast disappearing shadow in the pitch black night. Lance sighed, wished us goodnight then exited the room. I took that as a cue to head off to bed too, and headed towards Will and my apartment. Will followed. When we arrived my curiosity go the better of me.
"Well? What's going on that I missed?" I asked, laying down on Will huge king sized double bed. Will positioned himself laying next to me.
"Koga's daughter, Janine who took over from him when he joined us in the elite four has become …...pregnant and Koga isn't happy. The reason his foul mood is aimed at Lance is when he asked Lance to leave the elite four for a few day to go sort things out with Janine, Lance refused, saying we need him here and this should be his main priority rather than his knocked up daughter." Will explained, turning his head to face me so he could read my expression.
"I can see both sides of it." I replied. "Koga should be allowed to be temporally dismissed from the Elite Four if there are family issues as he obviously cares for Janine. However losing his temper wasn't very smart and it is Janine's own fault that she is pregnant."
Will nodded. He was silent for a few seconds.
"What would your parents do to me if you were pregnant?" He asked abruptly. His question surprised me.
"Since they are in another dimension, very little." I replied, puzzled by the random question.
"You know what I mean Anna." Will said refusing to drop it. I thought for a little while before answering
"Well my mum would probably give you a distasteful look but accept it pretty well. My dad however….." I trailed off. Will probed me further.
"Your dad however would do what?" he said almost raising his voice.
"Well my dad would probably try and punch you then make sure you never are physically capable of having children any more." I said staring at his formal black waistcoat as I spoke rather than look at his curious face. As I finished speaking I looked up at his face to read his reaction. Will's face was paler than usual and he looked stunned so he was barely moving at all.
"You asked Will." I pointed out gently.
"Ok then, I see why you trailed off now." He said weakly.
I laughed at his terrified reaction and nodded. Placing my arms around him, I leant my head affectionately on his shoulder.
"Now I've scared you haven't I?" I murmured.
"For once, I am glad there is a dimension between me and you and your family, they sound really scary." Will said, his voice sounding its usual mix of being firm yet soft. I laughed again softly.
"My dad could scare away an ursurang just by looking at it" I replied.
"With what you just told me, I aren't surprised" Will replied wrapping his arms around my torso.
Well what do ya think? Please review as the more reviews i get the more motivated i shall be, thus the sooner chapter 12 comes out. Before i get loads of hatemail,I actually love Lady GaGa and am a big fan of hers. Will's Jynx is a reference to a converstion with my 4 year old brother while battling Will in Heart Gold when he said "Is that lady GaGa Anna?" After that i decided to name a jynx Lady GaGa when i capture one so it kinda followed on from that. Hopefully you liked this chapter as much as i liked writing it. Once again i say Ciao to you all! Remember keep reviewing and i love you all
