A Wild Mary Sue appeared!

Chapter 3: Never Accept Rides From Mary Sue's

Lyra and Ethan sprinted at top speed towards the Olivine City pokemon center from the Olivine Lighthouse. Ethan's Feraligatr and Lyra's Azumarill, formerly a Marill, trailed behind their trainers. Though, the two water-types happened to enjoy the rain, the harsh winds coming off the Olivine coast and the terrifying lightning really ruined the whole experience.

Lyra made a sound that was a mix of a groan and terrified scream, "Mother of Latias! How did it get so stormy so fast?"

Ethan shook his head as he tried to shield himself from the rain with his bag, "I don't know, maybe Kyogre's in Johto!"

"What's a Kyogre?" Lyra asked while she and Ethan turned a corner.

"I think it lives in Hoenn! Apparently, it rains really hard when it's around!" Ethan answered.

In seconds, they finally made it to the pokemon centre.

Ethan took off his hat and shook the water out of it, "Well, this is a fine mess we're in."

"Well, hold up, Ethan, the storm might be done soon, we just gotta check the weather," Lyra stated, trying to not feel negative. She took out her pokegear and went to the weather channel on the radio function. "Listen in."

Ethan then plopped his head on Lyra's shoulder from behind, his chest brushing against Lyra's back.

Once she felt him against her, Lyra couldn't stop the blush rising to her face. She had to take a few seconds to finally listen to the weather report.

"...Looks like some good weather across West Kanto and East Johto, but it's gonna be rough for anyone on West Johto. There's gonna be lots of rain, winds up to 10-13 mph, and definite lighting. Passage to Cianwood and Olivine is gonna be near impossible, and anyone considering exploring the whirl islands is probably gonna end up injured. Looks like it'll be like this for the next 2 days. Now for the sports report, the Electabuzz's lost to the Starmie's at 1-5 last week..."

Ethan groaned, "FML, we're never gonna get to Cianwood, and I'm never going to get to battle with Jasmine."

"Maybe we could just use a bunch of Full Restores on that Ampharos?" Lyra suggested.

Ethan shook his head and pulled his head off her shoulder, "I doubt that could work, that Amphy of hers seemed pretty sick. Does your Ampharos get sick that easily?"

Lyra shrugged, "Not really, he gets itchy sometimes, but at least he isn't a fluffy Flaafy anymore, less to groom."

Azumarill then jumped up on Lyra's back, clinging to her shoulders making her look like a backpack as the aqua-mouse was now to heavy to jump on Lyra's shoulder. "Azumarill!"

Lyra giggled and stroked her partner's face, "But you've gotten a little bit harder to groom. At least your fur's water proof."

Ethan smiled at his girlfriend, seeing her bond with her Azumarill as 'cute.'

He then felt his Feraligatr leaning it's head on the top of his skull. It felt very heavy, but at least it was better than being bitten. "And you don't need to be groomed at all. Hey, Feraligatr, think you can ferry us to Cianwood?"

At that moment, the pokemon centre's Nurse Joy walked by and smacked the back of Ethan's head, "Try that stunt and your Feraligatr's gonna lose his teeth! And in storms like this, the whirlpools of the Whirl Islands are stronger than a hydro-canon."

"Ow!" Ethan rubbed the bump on his head, "Fine then, I won't try it."

Joy nodded, "All right then." She suddenly became positive and perky again, "Have a nice day!"

Lyra raised an eyebrow, "That was odd." She took out her pokeballs, "C'mon, lets heal up."

Ethan nodded, "Will do. Lets go, Feraligatr."

At this moment, Lyra was playing around with the apps on her pokegear while Ethan stared out the window blankly, thinking of a way to brave the storm.

"We can try flying," Lyra suggested out of the blue.

"I have doubts that Heracross would enjoy that," Ethan mentioned. "And it'd look really odd for the both of us to be hanging off my Heracross in a storm like this."

"Well, I got Azumarill and you got Feraligatr... It could work if we tried swimming," Lyra theorized. "Maybe we'll get so far away that Nurse Joy won't be able to smack us."

"What you need is a boat, you ditz."

Ethan and Lyra both turned around to the oddest sight in the world.

Her hair looked like a Ho-Oh's rainbows and seemed to change colour, kind of like her eyes, and she was wearing a rather un-logical shirt for a pokemon journey. It exposed her skinny as a Sudowoodo stomach and had no sleeves. And her mini-skirt was too mini to even be called a mini skirt.

Heck, Lyra's milkmaid outfit seemed more logical for a journey then this! And she was wearing a hat poofier than a Mareep after a bath!

"Who are you?" Lyra asked.

"Ebony Saman'tha Destinee Waters," Ebony greeted. "Nice to meet you." She gave Lyra a nod, and for some reason, gave Ethan a wink.

Ethan flinched.

"Hello, Ebony," Lyra started. "So... what about a boat?"

"You need a boat, you ditz," Ebony restated as she flipped her kaleidoscope hair flamboyantly.

"We don't have a boat, but we have 2 water types and 1 flying type," Ethan explained.

"Well, buddy, at least you know someone with a boat now!" Ebony sang with a voice similar to a Larvitar's screech.

Lyra crooked her head, "Who? You?"

Ebony nodded proudly, "Yep! Me!"

Ethan had trouble believing this, "Um... not to burst your bubblebeam, but aren't you... 16? Don't you have to be like... 18 to even be a beginning sailor?" That was the age he guessed, even though very few 16 year olds had boobs that looked like someone stuffed Phampy's in their chest.

"I'm actually 15," Ebony explained. "But I worked with Team Aqua in Hoenn since I was a child, so I have lots of nautical knowledge!"

"Why didn't you stay in Hoenn?" Lyra mumbled. Ethan then poked her to transport the message: 'Be nice, this seems legit.'

"Alas, I was transferred to Team Rocket because Archie hated how I was stronger than him with my shiny Azumarill and Corsola!" Ebony told with a dramatic voice.

This is when Lyra started listening more, "You have a shiny Azumarill and Corsola?"

Ebony released her pokemon, which were contained in moon balls only made by Kurt from Azalea Town, not available in Hoenn, because they were black, and black was goth, and goth was so cool!

The light blue Corsola appeared on the centre floor, looking cheery, and the yellow Azumarill appeared next to it. They seemed bored.

"See!" Ebony cheered. "So cool! And so special! Is your Azumarill shiny to?

"Well, her Azumarill's coat is pretty shiny and its eyes and pretty glossy," Ethan recalled, having seen Lyra raise the water type with his own eyes.

Ebony frowned, "Aww... so sad, shiny pokemon are stronger than non-shiny ones... And more special!"

Lyra grumbled, "Ethan, maybe we should just crash here for the night."

Ethan shushed her, "Hold on. Um... Ebony, you said something about a boat?"

Ebony nodded, "Yes!"

"Can you get us to Cianwood?"

"Yes!"

"When can you get us there?"

"Right now!"

"Okay, lets go then," Ethan agreed right as the Nurse put out two trays of Pokeballs on the main counter, signalling that both Lyra and Ethan's pokemon were healed.

Ebony made an excited noise, "Yay! Come on then! The last one there is a stinky Lyra!"

Suddenly, the urge for Lyra to call out her Quilava and scream: "USE FLAMETHROWER UNTIL SHE GOES BALD!" was as intense as a Blast Burn.

"All right, out of every boat in the world, I did not expect a row boat!" Lyra burst out at she and clung onto her beloved Azumarill, whom like it's master, was trembling as the stormy waves rocked the boat back and forth.

A wave splashed Ethan's side of the boat, "Ahh! Okay, is this a bad time to say that this could have been worse?"

"Duh!" Lyra answered.

Behind the two of them on the rowboat was Ebony, who should have been rowing, but instead, she was hugging her shiny pokemon while the boat rocked on and on.

Lyra recalled her Azumarill, "Ethan! Maybe we should go back!"

Ethan pressed his hat on his head to make sure it didn't blow away, "Lets do that!" He turned around to Ebony, "Hey, we change our minds, can we... EBONY!"

Ebony looked up from her shiny Azumarill's ears, "What is it, my love?"

Ethan cringed at her name for him, "You said you'd row!"

"But my pokemon are so special! And sooooo cute! I'm cuddling them!" Ebony crooned. Cuddling was not what she was doing, she was suffocating her poor Corsola and Azumarill.

The two water types struggled against her vice grip and would sell their souls to Giratina to just be free.

"Please row! And... WHERE'D THE OARS GO?" Ethan was at the point of freaking out now.

"Oh, those? We lost them ages ago, the waves carried us out here!" Ebony smiled.

Ethan groaned, "You have no idea how strong the whirpools are in this area! We might get sucked in!"

Lyra tapped her boy friend's (Nothing official...yet) shoulder, "Ethan, I don't think that whirlpools are the issue now."

"Hm?"

Ethan turned his head, and what lay before the rowboat was a tidal wave larger than the trainer school in Violet City.

His eyes widened greatly, "Mother of Latios..."

"BRACE YOURSELF!" Lyra screamed as she clung to Ethan right before the wave hit them.

SPLOOSH!

The impact was intense, at least Ethan knew what it felt like to be hit by a Surf attack.

The waves managed to clear up, but the boat was half-filled with water.

"This is bad!" Ebony gasped.

"No shit, Swinub-Face!" Lyra retorted as she looked over Ethan, who managed to hold on.

"I know! My make-up is ruined!" Ebony took a make up case out of nowhere and started re-applying everything.

"SO not the issue right now!" Ethan yelled back to her. And then he turned forward, "Because we happen to have THAT hurdling towards us!"

Alas, there was another wave, this time, bigger, possibly as tall as Falkner's gym, and coming at an un-escapable rate.

"Ethan, I have an idea," Lyra said in a low voice.

Ethan nodded, "Anything."

"PRAY!"

SPLOOOOOOOSH!

Lyra felt herself separate from the boat and plunge into the water, but she didn't dare open her eyes until the force of falling in the water lightened up a bit. When she opened her eyes, she could see the surface of the water several feet above her.

Her next move seemed logical, she sent out Azumarill.

The aqua-mouse seemed calmer when she was in the water than in the boat, maybe because it felt more natural in the water than out of it.

She looked down to her master and swam down to save her. Once Lyra clung on, Azumarill swam her up to the surface.

Once up, Lyra called out, "EEETHAN! ANYONE?" She looked over to see the row boat or anything else, but nothing. Hopefully Ebony Anderson was dead though...

"AZOOO!" Azumarill screeched as a smaller, but still strong, wave swooped over them and pushed them down again.

It took them longer to re-surface this time, but at least she was still alive.

"Azumarill! See Ethan any where?" Lyra asked, even though Azumarill couldn't properly give an answer.

Azumarill shook her head, even though it didn't have a neck, and dove down under the water once again to dodge another large wave.

Lyra held her breath and looked around in the water. She averted her eyes down when she felt a slight-change in the current. One look behind her revealed Ethan's Feraligatr, and his trainer clinging to the spikes on it's back.

Lyra felt a rush of relief as he swam closer to her, linked his arm to hers, and pulled her and Azumarill up to the surface.

"Are you all right?" was the first thing he asked her.

"Had better days, Ethan," she answered, gripping onto his hand tightly with her other around her Azumarill.

The waves tossed and turned them un-gently, making it hard to stay on the surface for a long time.

"Just don't let go!" Lyra exclaimed as another wave pushed them under before the two floated back up to the surface. "We have to stay together! It's the only way we'll survive this!"

Ethan nodded quickly, "Got it!" Just then, his pokegear rang. Out of all these moments, he was getting a call now. He answered it, "Joey, your Ratatta is NOT in the top percentage of Ratatta! Oh, hi, mom!"

"Hey, Ethan! So listen, I found a useful item while shopping, I bought it with your money, sorry!" At this point, the mother's habit was getting quite old.

"That's great, mom! Gotta go, bye!" He practically screamed his answer into the pokegear before hanging up.

Back in New Bark, Ethan's mother was puzzled. "Well, that was odd, Ethan usually listens to me when I call him...Oh well, time to go shopping again!"

Both trainers were sopping wet when they FINALLY arrived on the Cianwood coast. Ethan was grumbling because of obvious reasons, and Azumarill was raging mad because of all the damn Tentacool. At least the rain lightened up at this point.

"Lesson Learned: Do not accept every free ride you get," Lyra stated as she wrung her pig-tails out.

Ethan just had to agree, "And not someone with boobs the size of Phampy's."

"More like Donphan's," Lyra muttered. "Lets get to the pokemon centre before we catch a cold."

"Will do."

Once Azumarill and Feraligatr were returned, Ethan and Lyra heard a familiar voice: "You made it!"

They turned their heads to see the hopefully one and only Ebony standing on a boulder, her hair seemed to be perfectly styled again and she wasn't wet at all.

Lyra clenched her fist, "How did YOU get here?"

"I flew here with my totally kewl powers!" Ebony cheered as she jumped in the air attempting to fly. She didn't succeed, even though her flying away would be perfect right now.

Simultaneously, the two trainers from New Bark town groaned and screamed "KILL YOURSELF!" to the Mary Sue before leaving her on the stormy Cianwood coast.

And that's that!

I know the pokegear still being used while soaked thing is odd, but those things don't need to be charged, so I'm sure that Silph Co. could make them water proof.

Personality wise, I really tried to balance both Lyra and Ethan out personality wise, and I think I gave Ethan the personality of a kumquat.

Oh well, I tried.

Tip for not making a Mary Sue/Gary Stu: Watch the names you give them. Here's a Mary Sue name; Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way. Here's a not-so-Mary-Sue name; Minnie Winchell. Try to only use two names, excluding middle names help, and keep the syllable count down to less than 5.

That's all for now, I will try to update sooner. A heads up, I have an idea for a finale, it might not work, but I'm gonna wing it.

K'bye!
