I do not own pokemon or any reference I may make, they belong to their respective owners.
Characters are based of me and my friends with a few twists.
Author's Note: To those who ask, no the pokemon do not talk and the humans do not understand them, I, the author, am only translating what they are saying.
"Ah, this is nice" I said, opening two bottles, one for me and the other for Konata, we were fishing in the safari zone. I was relaxing for the afternoon after traveling from Saffron to Fuchsia and missing the boat to Cinnabar Island. Going down cycle road was exhausting, but it's currently the only road to Fuchsia, since somebody destroyed the bridge in route 12.
I felt a tug from my rod. "Oh, a bite" I pulled, reeling up my catch. It was a small blue serpent like creature, with fins on the side of its head and a big round silver nose.
"Awesome!" I said excitedly. "A Dratini" I threw a safari ball, hitting the pokemon and sucking it in. Sadly it broke free and fled. "Aw" I cast the line again and waited, enjoying my drink when my line was tugged again. I reeled it in and another Dratini appeared. I tossed some bait and threw another ball while it was eating. Unfortunately it noticed and smacked the ball away with its tail and then dove.
"Well, they said these things were hard to catch" I said disappointedly. Casting the line again, it was immediately tugged on and another Dratini was reeled in. I tossed another ball, only for the pokemon to avoid it, laugh at me and dive back underwater. "Well it didn't have to laugh at me" I stated. Before I could cast the line again, two more appeared.
Konata stood up, but I stopped her. "Sorry, were not allowed to use pokemon to catch others" I just tossed some more balls and which were swatted away. The two serpents laugh and swam away. "Ok, this is starting to get annoying, it's like they're trying to piss me off" I thought for a second. "Nah, that can't be it" I calmed myself down and continued to fish. "Can't let things get to me so easily, just need to enjoy the day and not bring attention to myself"
Third person P.O.V.
Pallet town has been quite peaceful for the past few weeks. Professor Oak was sitting at his desk, taking a small break after tending to the pokemon in the field.
"I wonder how everyone is doing?" he asked himself. "Ah, to be young and travel around the world, I just hope none of them have gotten into too much trouble" he sipped his tea.
"Um professor" one of the lab worker called. "You may want to come see this"
"Is it important?"
"Yes"
The professor stood and followed his assistant. He led him towards the living room and motioned the professor to the television.
"-d to be restrained. Luckily they safari workers called security before any pokemon were severely harmed and the safari zone was too damage. The trainer claimed that the pokemon were plotting against him. Here is the live footage from the scene two hours ago"
Oak and his assistant watched closely. "Um, isn't that?"
"Yes, yes it is" the professor rubbed his forehead. He walked over to the phone and began to dial.
Eddy's P.O.V.
"This place isn't too bad" I thought as I scanned my surroundings. It was almost like my place when I start gaming, dark. The difference's were that my seat wasn't that comfortable, there was light getting in, and bars to cage me in, so my place was better. I had been here for about two hours and I was bored. I heard the sound of foot steps approaching. A guard unlocked the cage.
"Your free" he said in a gruff voice. I followed him out and he pointed to a phone. "You can thank him"
I sat in front of the screen and picked up the receiver. It was the professor, but he did not seem that happy. "Um, hey professor, um, thank you bailing me out"
"Your very welcome, now could you explain to me what happened"
"Yeah, sure, I was in the safari zone, trying to catch some more pokemon for the pokedex, when the Dratini's in the area started making fun of me and annoying me for their fun"
"And instead of ignoring them and moving to another area, you retaliated in a barbaric matter"
"Well, I was just relaxing when that happened and I went on a rampage" I explained. "So, I'm not trying to be rude, but why did you bail me out"
"Because I know you are a good trainer and would not do something like that without a good reason or at least a reasonable reason" he answered. "That and I am rewarding you for assisting with the prevention of another Team Rocket takeover"
"How do you know about that and there was one before?"
"Yes, Salem informed me after the incident and there was a previous attack on Silph. Co by Team Rocket not too long ago, how is it that you are uninformed about that"
"I don't pay attention to the news"
"I figured, well anyways, I must be off, try to avoid getting arrested again. Good bye for now" he hung up. I walked up to the receptionist and picked up my things and left the station. I looked up at the night sky and set up camp by the forest. Tomorrow I would catch the boat to Cinnabar without any problems.
"I don't know" an older trainer said, that I had just beaten in a battle.
"Well those are your two options, either pay the full trainer fee or buy my some drinks, which would cost less" I told him.
"Alright, it'll save me some money. I'll be right back" he said, heading to the store.
"Yay, I get my drinks" Afterwards I would head to the boat.
"Heh" I mentally laugh at the line behind me. I arrived at the port early, so I would get a good room. The boat stopped and a large crowd exited the boat, then a sailor allowed us to board the boat. The boat was big and looked like there were a lot of activities to been done on board. I entered my room, dropped onto my bed and fell asleep.
I awoke several hours later and scanned the area, remembering where I was. "I'm hungry"
Room service came a few minutes later and I ate. "Yum, this is good, now just to wash it down" I opened one of my drinks and finished it. "One more couldn't hurt"
"Hey! Hey! Are you okay?" I faintly heard someone ask. My eyes opened, only for the light to force them shut again. I sat up, my head was killing. I looked at the person beside me, it was a young camper girl and I think they are called picnickers.
"What happened?" I asked.
"I don't really know" she said, rather loudly. Damn headache.
"Um, could you talk a bit quieter?"
"Okay, so what I saw, the boat you were on stopped here and evacuated the passengers, then I saw you being escorted, you were barely standing, and spouting nonsense. Apparently you made some mess"
"Oh, I remember that. It wasn't my fault, their boating terms are misleading"
"Anyways, they boarded all the other passengers back on and left you here, then you past out"
"Aw crap" I looked around and saw my things were with me. "Well, at least they were nice enough to let me keep my things" I noticed we were on a small island. "So where are we?"
"We are on the Seafoam Islands" she said. "The islands between Fuchsia City" she pointed in one direction. "And Cinnabar Island" she pointed in the opposite direction.
"So how do I get to Cinnabar?"
"By going through the cave" she pointed to a cave entrance.
"Great, another cave" I sighed and gathered my things. "Um, why are you here alone?"
"I'm not alone, my friends and I are camping here. Our scout master will pick us up tomorrow" she explained.
"Alright then" I walked into the cave. "What kind of scout master leaves kids on an island?" I thought.
Inside the cave, it was frozen all over; I slipped a few times while walking, but it was not too bad. I could hear the sound of running water, but could not see any. Wondering around for what seemed like hours, I grew tired. I became frustrated when I reached a dead end, my path being blocked by a giant piece of ice.
"Firaga" I called my shiny pokemon. "Try melting this thing with Flamethrower"
He grumbled a bit, but did as he was told. The ice was slowing melting, but I was getting impatience.
"Little Mac" my fighting pokemon came out. I pointed to the ice. "The spots that Flamethrower isn't near, hit them with Fire Punch"
He seemed more eager than Firaga, his fists went a blazed and he began pounding on the ice. "What is that?" as the ice melted, I noticed a big round figure within it. The ice cracked.
"Stop" my two pokemon looked at me confused. I pointed to the figure. The ice began breaking some more and then it shattered, the figure from inside stretched and yawned.
"It can't be?" I stepped back. The shaped looked familiar.
'Lax?'
The thing in the ice turned out to be a Snorlax. "It couldn't be the same one, could it?" It turned and looked at me. "Of course it's the same Snorlax from the bridge" The creature roared.
It raised it fist, glowing, and tried attacking me. Fortunately I dodged and ran behind it.
"Mach Punch and Slash"
Both attacks hit, pushing Snorlax back. It jumped and landed on my pokemon.
"Oh crap" It was slowly rising, not by itself. Underneath Little Mac was lifting it, catching it before it completely crashed them. He tossed it to the side and then collapsed onto his knees, breathing heavily.
'Nice save' Firaga thanked.
'Ye-ah… no problem'
"Guys pull back; let's just get out of here"
They nodded and we ran down the path that was just blocked. A sound was heard following us, I looked behind to see a giant ball chasing us.
"Shit, run faster" I yelled, but my two pokemon were way ahead of me. "Wait for me!" They sharply turned and I followed, the ball crashed into the wall. It groaned and uncurled, revealing Snorlax. Firaga and Little Mac ran to my sides.
"Forget it and run" I said. We ran hard, but it continued to chase us. I looked behind once again and my eyes widened.
"Jump to the side now!" we narrowly avoided the beam that past us. I looked at Snorlax, who was trying to catch its breath. It took a step forward, each step caused a tremble.
"Damn, what now?"
It took another step, charging up a second Hyper Beam.
Crack.
We all froze; I looked at the ground, which had been damaged by the previous attack. Another crack was heard; I glanced back up at Snorlax who did the same. The floor broke and we screamed. Thankfully I fell onto something soft and bounced off that onto the ground. I spotted Firaga and Little Mac; they hadn't been hurt by the fall either. I noticed Snorlax too had not been hurt. We were surrounding by rivers of water, the currents moving fast.
"This sucks"
Snorlax rose and my pokemon ran in front of me. "Let's finish this"
They charged all ready with an attack when suddenly a beam appeared within their path, the beam froze the ground. A screech filled the cave. Several more beams were fired, fortunately we dodged them. I noticed a shadow of a figure approaching, what looked like wings were spread out. It screeched again and took flight, sending wind that chilled the bones within me.
"Flamethrower" I called.
The attack hit and the bird cried in pain, but didn't slow down. It fired more beams, freezing the area around us. Snorlax jumped at it, its fist glowing, but was hit by one of the beams, sending it crashing into the ground, covered in ice. Little Mac jumped at the bird as well, but was blown back by a gust of wind, he barely stood back up. Snorlax shattered the ice on its body.
"Hey Snorlax" it looked at me. "I think we're gonna have to work together to beat this thing"
It thought for a bit and then reluctantly nodded.
"Ok, so try to fire a Hyper Beam in front of it. Firaga, Flamethrower when it stops"
'Can't believe I'm taking orders from him' Snorlax fired his attack, stopping the bird in place. The bird cried from the fire attack, causing it to plummet to the ground. Being able to see it clearer, I noticed that it had a small beak, long cyan tail feathers and a cyan head crest. Its body was covered in icy-blue feathers, thin grey legs. It stood again effortlessly, but was uppercut by Little Mac.
"Yes" I cheered. Then he was blown back by a gust of wind, depleting what little energy he had left. I sighed as I returned my fallen pokemon "Good work"
"Snorlax, get up close" it ran forward, grabbing the bird by its legs, before it could take off, slamming it back into the ground. The bird fired another beam, forcing Snorlax back as it stood.
"Now Thunder Fang" Firaga bit down on the bird's wing, shocking it. "Good job" I said. "Huh?" it suddenly felt colder, like the temperature of the area was dropping. I rubbed my arms together, trying to warm myself. The bird screeched again, spreading its wings as ice emitted from its body, freezing the entire area and Firaga. It smacked Firaga's frozen body away, shattered the ice, revealing that my pokemon had fallen unconscious. I returned him and ran towards Snorlax.
"Things don't look good" I said to it. It looked at me and shook its head. Then I felt an icy wind hit us, trying to push us back. I grabbed onto the nearest rock, holding on for dear life, whereas Snorlax held its ground until it slipped on the ice, being sent into the water. I grew tiresome from all the cold and my hands gave way, I flew back, joining Snorlax in the water.
My eyes opened as I awoke, only for me to close them again, the bright light of the sun burning them too much. I was wet, but I felt something soft under me.
I grumbled a bit. "What happened?" I asked softly to no one. My body hurt and my throat was sore, I was exhausted. I sat up; noticing the thing I was on was Snorlax, whom was asleep and floating on water.
I turned my head to see a land and a town. As we approached I jumped off Snorlax onto land, but the force of my jump caused Snorlax's body to move away from the shore, drifting away with the current of the ocean. I shrugged it off and wondered around, but I grew wearier. Without notice, I collapsed.
I had originally planed to make another filler chapter involving Eddy returning to Celadon city and getting into an eating contest with a certain pink haired girl, but it didn't turn out well, so I wrote this up instead. I feel that I rushed the plot of the chapter a bit, but what do you guys think?
Anyways what was the bird creature and where is this island. If you don't know, go play pokemon.
Please Review.
P.S. I will not be able to post anything for a while, my apologies to those who enjoy my story. Next chapter should be out in September. Once again, sorry for another hiatus, it's a small one this time.
