Shell of a Time-Part1

Author Notes: Yahoo another one shot to celebrate the wondrous thing that is...one shot week(summer's addition) Now Sen just had to add more work for me...because it's Sen who's got a bottomless pit of ideas and wants another one shot. Anyways...we don't own pokemon and we hope you enjoy~

3rd P.O.V

Ahhh a lovely day of sunshine, it was a fabulous la di da day at Cinnabar Island. That is it would be for Sen had he'd not had such a string of bad luck. Ohh he just could not catch a break.

His depressing, ominous aura surrounding his frame, mumbles and grumbles escaping his voice as he travels with his sister and friends. Yes it was just one of those days where he would've been better off staying in bed.

The group of five had arrived very late via ferry, and had to choose one of the several full inns. Cinnabar island was a crowded tourist attraction, so many of the hotels were already booked.

And their last option only had one room that the team of five had to bunk in together. It was cramped, it was hot, it was humid, it was a nightmare, already things were off to a rather bad start.

Hours later when the sun begins it's ascend into the sky was when his true troubles began. Sen awoke before everyone else, in a desperate demand for a shower. He always liked to be the first one up and take his shower, it was best way for him to get the hot water.

However...that didn't happen this time around. Sen had his towel, his cleaning supplies. But instead of the soothing steaming hot water, he was given ice cold. "AHHH! COOOOOOLLDDDDD!" All of the residents awoke startled with the scream.

Mako included, rubbing her eyes she glanced around and found her brother's sleeping area empty. She yawned, not yet with the world. Having no interest whatsoever in checking on her probably in trouble brother she goes back into dreamland.

Time Skip...

Sen was rather...twitchy. Given the painful wake up call of ice water, security came in, and had alerted him of the unfortunate news that they had problems with the bath/shower water...he was very grumpy.

Only Mako was truly able to see how foul a mood he was in. Currently they were exploring the island, looking for a good place to have breakfast. They entered a rather nice looking place for lunch. And due to the crowd, waited about 10 minutes for a table.

When finally seated, they were given their menus, of course, Sen just so happened to get the crappiest menu out of the group, it was old, raggedy, and it even looked like there were remnants of crayon and dried gum on it. As nice as the cafe was, it still had its issues.

Their waitress arrived, and took their orders for drinks. The boys had each ordered their favorite coffee, meanwhile Marina ordered a hot chocolate with Mako ordering hot tea.

"So...who's paying for all of this?" No one spoke, causing Mako to sigh. "Ok...let's try something else, who has money?" Just his damn luck, he had his wallet with cash, everyone else was broke.

A scowl was placed on his face. He groans placing his head on his arms, resting against the cool table. "Can this get any worse?" As if by magic, his question was answered.

Since the waitress walks over to them, a tray full of the hot steaming drinks trips over someones foot. She falls, the cups and hot beverages within fly. In what seems like slow motion, everyone watches as it lands right on Sen.

"YEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAA! IT BURRRNNNNNSSSSS!" With a squeak our little miss clutz who for once isn't Marina, brings out her pokemon. "Come on out squirtle! Use water gun to cool him off!" An adorable little blue turtle comes out. "Squirt!"

It shoots out a blast of water, drenching the teen. "COLD!" Practically repeating her first reaction, our server brings out an orange lizard with a flame on its tail. "Charmander use flamethrower to warm him up!" His eyes snap open in shock.

Waving his hands out in front of him. "No nononono-that's not-" It was too late. A ray of blazing flames blast right on him. "HOOOTTTTTT!" This process repeats several more times.

Time Skip...at the hospital

"My goodness, this is certainly new. Burns, frostbite and inhaling large sums of water. May I ask Miss. What exactly happened to your brother?" Mako shuffle her feet, a nervous smile on her face. "Um it's a...rather long story sir." He looks at her, seeing her discomfort.

Currently she was speaking to Sen's doctor, while Skylar, Shane and Marina were in the waiting room. "Is there anyone giving you and your brother a hard time?" He whispers into her ear. "Is it the ninja looking boy?" The boy looks rather untrusting and suspicious.

She laughs. "No not this time." He frowns but refrains from making a comment. "Well your brother is recovering and can be seen by visitors. He's the first door on the left." With a thank you, she heads to her friends.

"Alright boys and girl, move out!" Whilst walking they hear a terrible scream. "NO! Not you again!" The gang hears sniffles. "I-I just came to say i'm sorry!" The waitress from breakfast was crying, holding her squirtle as she profusely apologizes to the now panicked Sen.

Her poke-companion offers a tissue. Grateful the poor sniffling woman takes it, blowing her nose, being as loud as a trumpet. She hugs her blue turtle, rubbing her face on it's smooth head.

"Ohh squirtle you're the only good thing that's happened to me! Sure my boat sank, but meeting you at squirtle island was worth the pain and suffering." And so curiosity plagued the group of trainers minds. "How did you and your squirtle meet?"

They listen with rapt attention to how she and her partner met. A story of dumb luck coming from misfortune. It was so saddening to hear that her cruise ship the S.S Annette, made in honor of the S.S Anne sank and how she nearly drowned. She had no water pokemon who could help her.

Only to awake and find deep eyes staring at her, an adorable little turtle with a lot of other turtles behind it, look at her with interest. A bond forms between the pokemon and girl.

Leading to the duo they are today. "Wait wait wait! So there's a island full of squirtle?" She blinks. "No, it's an island full of squirtle, wartortle, oh! And I think there's a blastoise there too~" Immediately the team of teens knew what they wanted to do.

"Can you take us there?" She thinks for a minute, before nodding. "Sure it's been awhile since i last visited anyways." With the ok from the doctor Sen was released from the hospital. But of course before he left...he was handed a piece of paper.

Confused he simply asked what it was. His terrible reply came from a walking nurse. "Oh that's the bill for your treatment! Be sure to pay at the service desk~ Have a nice day." Sighing in defeat Sen goes to pay for the cost of his treatment...on the bright side he's not suffering burns or frostbite anymore...

One thing led to another and here they are setting sail for Turtle Island, the bright blazing sun, the dear blue sea shining and glittering in the light. Sadly though they don't make it far on their journey.

Because during the trip, the boat starts acting up, somehow setting on fire. "AHHH!" People are throwing themselves out, away from the inferno. Mako coughs and gasps as ice cold water hits her skin. "Ok I didn't plan for a swim. Come on out dewgong!" Released from her pokeball, the white sea lion appears.

"Dewwww gong gong gong!" Climbing on the pokemons back she searches for her friends. "Maaaaaakkooooooo-Channnnn~" A sigh of relief escapes her as she sees Marina swimming along merrily with her politoad. "Any sign of the guys and our sailor waitress?"

With the negative the two continue along the sea. "Look look! Over there. Heyyyyy! Guys!" Shane and Skylar were found, atop of a lapras, both are arguing over some stupid topic. Mako shakes her head in annoyance. "Quit it you two we still need to find Sen and Sailor waitress Sally!" They grumble but agree.

They search long and hard, finding nothing by debris here in the vast sea. "Oh! Mako-San!" Sally was swimming, gripping onto the back of her squirtle. "Are you alright Sally?" She nods. "Yes squirtle fortunately broke free from her pokeball to help me after the boat caught on fire."

The relief was short lived as they found no sign of the missing twin of Mako. "Let's head to the island and see where we go from there." It was a couple miles of wading and poke-surfing to reach the shell looking island. "Wow it's huge!" With the waves they landed in very little time.

Their water allies safely tucked into their pokeballs, everyone watches as Mako looks towards the open water. "Seeennnn! Please come back! Boo hoo hooo!" Marina and Shane share a sad expression. "She must be feeling horrible about this." Sally cries once more in a hysterical repeat of apologies.

Skylar walks up to the red head, seeing her face hidden between her palms. "Mako...why are you smiling?" Busted she reveals her happy none tear stained face. "Oh please, I know he's alive, although i don't think it's the sea that's delaying him." The group sweat drops.

"What do you think is holding him up?" Her wicked grin causes a chill to fall down their spines. "The beast of the sea...one who's aggression causes massive storms and undersea whirlpools. Its rage strong and grudge merciless."

A splash on the shore and deep panting caught everyones attention. Indeed it was the final missing member of their team, Sen was soaked to the bone, almost blue from the cold ocean. "Gah, hah...damn gyarados..."
