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.
My eyes opened to an unfamiliar room, it looked like a hospital room. I slowly sat up, my body aching and stiff. "Where am I?" I asked no one. My voice was dry and raspy. I touched my face and felt a lot of hair. "A beard, how long was I out for?"
The sound of the door opened and a familiar nurse came in with a tray of medicine. She noticed me sitting upwards and smiled.
"Oh good, your awake" Nurse Joy said. "We were worried that you would be asleep for a long time. Your fever is completely gone, but you will probably be feeling numb for some time"
I stared at her. "Um, how long was I asleep for?"
"You were asleep for two days" she said as she approached me. "Let me remove you face warmer" She pulled off my 'beard'.
"So what happened?"
"Blaine found you outside near the center. You were nearly frozen and collapsed of exhaustion. You were also running a high fever, but we were able to bring it down. Well now that you have awoken, I'll go call him" She turned to leave, but stopped. "Also you need to take the medication" With that she left.
"Guess I have to thank Blai… wait, did she say Blaine. Sweet I get to see Blaine again. Man I haven't seen him in a while" I thought excitedly about seeing my old acquaintance.
About 2 hours passed when someone knocked on the door.
"Come in"
The door opened revealing a bald old man, with a white mustache and black tinted glasses. He wore a black collar shirt under a white lab coat and yellow pants. "Hello Eddy, it's been a while" he greeted.
"Yo teach, how's it going?" I asked my old teacher. Blaine would occasionally visit the pallet town schools to teach and he was definitely one of the fun teachers and even encouraged me to do some of the 'fun' things I did around town. He taught me how to be a man, although we've gotten into a lot of trouble for it.
"It's been going pretty good, just repaired my gym from the last battle I had" he said with a smile, but then his expression changed. "So tell me what happened. Why were you collapsed out on the street, soaked from head to toe and cold as ice?"
"I don't really remember. I was in the Seafoam Islands cave and being chased by a Snorlax, when the floor broke and we fell. Then this giant shadow bird thing attacked me and I got blown away into the water. Next thing I know I wake up here"
"Really" he mused. "Well it doesn't matter now, your awake and alive. So tell me how your journey is coming along and whether or not you've gotten lucky"
We talked for about an hour or so, well I talked. I told him about my pokemon, the things that happened on my journey, not everything, but he doesn't need to know everything.
"Hohohohoho, it sounds like you've had a lot going on. I know Red, he is extremely powerful and if you ever face him, you're going to have a rough time"
"Sounds like it"
"So tell me about that Kabutops of yours" he asked.
"Um, there's really nothing to say about Rena, she's kinda shy for a pokemon that has blades for arms, but she is really strong"
"Does she ever act out in battle?" I looked at him, confused at his question. "I mean does she ever go berserk, become vicious"
"Yeah sometimes she into this weird berserker mode or something, is that bad thing?"
"It could be. See, the one problem with revived prehistoric pokemon is that even though they now live in these simpler times, they still harbor the instincts that kept them alive during the hostile prehistoric age. Back then it was kill or be killed, so the pokemon were more violent"
"So when she goes into her berserker mode, it's just her old killer instincts. So what should I do about it?"
"As long as she listens to you there shouldn't be any problems, but just in case, call her back. Also never let her fight another prehistoric pokemon. Their instincts are more likely to emerge when battling another fossil pokemon"
"Ok, I'll remember that"
He grinned. "Now that we've settled this, I suggest you go take a dip in the hot springs, to warm yourself up, since you almost froze to death" A grin appeared on his face. "Plus there's something else there that should warm up. Some real nice things"
"You don't mean?"
"Yes, I've set it up for all men; now go"
I saluted my old teacher. "Yes sir!"
"Oh man, this is awesome" I thought as I relaxed in the hot water. Definitely feeling better than when I woke up earlier today. "Too bad I can't let the pokemon in here, they'd probably enjoy it" I thought, but then I realized something. "They would probably destroy this place" Oh well, luckily I was alone. Everybody was busy during the daytime, so rarely anyone comes, which makes it perfect for travelers.
"Stop it" a voice from the other side of the spring's bamboo wall brought me at of my relaxation, a female voice. "Almost forgot the other reason I came here" I grinned. I moved to the wall at the corner of the spring. "It should be around here. Aha!" Bingo, found what Blaine had set up. I looked through the small hole in the wall; it seemed that the presence of it was covered up by the steam.
"Hello" On the other side was a girl with pink hair. It looked like she was being groped by another girl. "Aw yeah" Sadly it was hard to see through the steam.
The girl then swam to another, she looked familiar. "It couldn't be, damn stupid steam is covering them up too much" The girl began groping the other girl.
"Oh Erika, why is your skin so soft" "It is her!"
Erika struggled out of the girls grip. "Now stop that. That is no way for a proper lady to act, now is it Green?"
The steam moved and allowed a slightly clearer view of both girls. "Oh My God, this is prefect" I felt something drip of my nose, but I was too pre-occupied with the view. "Come on, steam just go away"
"Oh fine, I'll leave you alone" Green pouted. She lowered back into the water and moved to another target. "Come on, just stand up a little"
"Well if I can't play you, then I'll play with Whitney"
"Nooo!" the pink haired girl, Whitney, yelled, her face going completely red. Green again groped her. "I can't believe how big yours are" Green giggled.
"Will you just cut it out!" someone yelled.
My eyes widened. "It couldn't be?" I carelessly said out loud. I covered up my mouth. "Oh crap" Nobody from the other side said anything so I assumed they didn't hear me. I looked through the hole and saw Green looking in this direction. I noticed a small smirk on her face. "Oh no" She slightly turned her head.
"Would you like if I played with you?"
"Touch me and I'll kick your butt"
"Oh crap, it is her"
Realizing who the voice belonged to. "Oh come on Emily, you know you want it" Green then turned her head back in the direction of the hole and winked.
"Who are you winking at?" Emily's angry voice asked.
"No-bo-dy"
"Run!" I screamed in my head. I dove under the water and made my way to the other corner of the spring, in front of the wall. "I think I'm safe" A noise was heard and pieces of the bamboo wall were falling into the spring. "As soon as I think it" I thought sadly.
"So it's you Eddy. Did you not do this enough back home? How many times until you stop?" I looked up to see an angry Emily, covering herself with a towel and a fist, ready to beat the crap out of me.
"Oh, you're that boy that had an argument with my assistant" I heard Erika say. "So you were peeping" her voice sounding disappointed.
"So, who is he?" I assumed that was the pink hair girl.
"Oh Eddy, since when were you here?" Green asked innocently.
"So how could you make a hole in the hot spring?" Emily asked.
"It wasn't me" I cried.
"Then who was it?"
"Um … It was some perverted old man"
"It was Blaine, wasn't it" Erika asked.
"How'd she know?"
"I do not understand how a genius like him could do such horrific things"
"Well I'm going to deal with Eddy here and then I'll go pay my old teacher a visit"
"So how did you hurt yourself at the hot springs?" Nurse Joy asked as she gave me an ice pack for my eye.
"I-I- I fell down"
I walked around town, Firaga beside me, to see what there was to do, when we came upon a large building. There was construction workers renovating the outside and people entering and exiting the building.
"Wonder what they working on?" I asked out loud.
"Well I bought this old manor" I jumped, surprised by the sudden voice. I turned to see Blaine with a grin. "It was once used as a lab for experiments, but now I hope to rebuild this place to use as a research lab" He fixed his glasses, which were sliding down his face, and looked down at Firaga. "Hmmm, quite the interesting pokemon you've got there. And a shiny none the less"
A smug grin appeared on Firaga's face. "But is he as strong as he looks?" That made the fire pokemon become angry.
"Yeah, he's as strong as he looks" I said.
"We will have to see"
"Yup, so anyways, I'm gonna go. Good luck with your lab"
"Good bye Eddy" I began walking. "Eddy"
"Yeah"
"What happened to your eye?"
"I don't wanna talk about it"
Cinnabar Island was a really big town and it was quite nice. It surprisingly had a huge forest for an island, near a mountain. Firaga and I were sitting at the island's beach café, both enjoying a burger and a drink, him water and me a shake, waiting for my sundae. I stared off at the horizon; the sound of people having fun at the beach filled the air, very peaceful. Better than the past few days have been, besides getting a black eye.
"Well that not something you see everyday" a female voice said behind me. I bent my head upwards to see behind me, it was an older woman with brown hair, glasses and a lab coat, holding some drink.
"What? You've never seen someone sitting with their pokemon?"
"No" she said irritated. "I meant a pokemon eating a hamburger. Most people pokemon food to their pokemon"
"Meh, they seem to enjoy it, so I let them eat it. I still fed them pokemon food"
"What about drinks? Do you let them drink anything else?"
I pointed to Firaga. "He wanted water, but yes, they drink other things, whatever they want, I let them. Juice, milk, pop, beer-"
"Pardon" she said surprisingly. "I did not know pokemon could drink alcohol. Although I think that's a terrible think to let your pokemon drink"
"It's not my fault, my Hypno was drinking before I caught her"
She sat down next to me. "Really, that's quite interesting. Is there anything else unusual that your pokemon do?"
"My Hypno is into anime, my Kabutops is shy, and my Hitmonchan is a gamer"
"That is odd for a fighting pokemon and where did you get a Kabutops?"
"From the gym leader Brock"
"Oh yes, Brock made a request at the research lab months ago to revive a fossil he found"
"Research lab? I thought Blaine was building one right now"
She frowned. "That's right; he's building another research lab. I don't understand why that idiot is spending money to rebuild that destroyed lab instead of funding the research lab that is already built"
"Here's your sundae, sorry for the wait" the waiter came up and placed the sundae on the table.
I grabbed a spoonful of it and ate. "So how was the place destroyed?"
"By an experiment goon deadly wrong"
She had my full attention after that. "What kind of experiment?"
"Around fifteen years ago, I was just a little girl at the time"
"And I was a little boy, you could've left that out" Yes that was rude, I was just more interested in the story.
"Shut Up! Anyways researchers discovered a pokemon; nobody had ever heard of it, they dubbed it Mew. They brought it back to that lab and ran experiments on it. Horrible experiments that caused an uproar, the media was all over it and people formed riots to try and stop them. I don't exactly know all the details, but apparently they were trying to clone it"
"That's terrible, who would do something like that?"
"Team Rocket, they were just formed back then. Luckily a group of trainers broke in to save the pokemon, but they were too late"
"It died?"
"Thankfully no, it was freed, but they cloned it. One night it went on a rampage and destroyed the lab. Almost everyone inside died. You thought the outside looked bad, you should have gone inside. You know what the worst part is; no one knows whether or not the clone is still out there" she looked at her watch. "Oh wow its getting late. Thank you for the conversation. Good bye kid" she got up and left.
I sat there, thinking about what I just heard. A super dangerous pokemon could still be out there. I stared down at the table.
"My sundae melted"
Double Update. 40-41
Well that was quite depressing; I get sad when my ice cream melts.
So I'm back and I return with this chapter, I really hope it wasn't too boring or bad. So what can I say, I had a random idea that Blaine being an old pervert would be funny. Well we explored Cinnabar Island and there's only one thing left.
Next time we have another gym battle.
Please Review.
