Here's to chapter 22! I still have a lot to planning before I reach the end of this story. I know I should stop but as a writer who wants to bring out the best I can't help it. Sorry, these things are taking longer than expected.
I have nothing to do with Pokemon nor Dragonball Z I'm just a fan who's just using Satoshi Tajiri's and Akira Toriyama's characters who doesn't want to take credit she doesn't deserve because I'm NOT Hercule either.
Just an important message in chapter 1. Try to be a little creative but got nothing.
Misty woke up by being jumped on repeatedly by her peppy Azurill. The red haired cutie didn't want to wake up Mai so when she got up out of bed and she began to tiptoe until she was out of the room with her Pokemon in her arms. She began to walk around until she found herself peeking through Trunks' messy room and spotted Trunks sleeping upside down on his own bed with the blanket only covering his right leg his bed was the only thing messy that didn't have any trash on it.
Misty thought he looked kind of cute in a tough guy kind of way. She had a mischievous plan."Azurill, water gun!" Misty couldn't help but tell her baby Pokemon. When the water hit Trunks he instantly woke up and when he saw a giggling Misty holding her blue baby Pokemon, he glared at her angrily.
"Couldn't you woken me up like a normal person?" Trunks grumbled drying off with the part of the blanket that hadn't been soaked. Trunks still had bruises but it was really nothing.
"Yes. But what fun is that?" she winked at him and walked up to him put her Azurill in his lap. "Also would it kill you to clean this place? It's disgusting," Misty insulted his room, looking around.
"Yet you still came here. But don't worry I'll get to it later," Trunks held up the tiny blue Pokemon to take a look in her innocent shimmering black eyes and she showed glee. The warrior didn't know what to do so he sat there looking into the cute Pokemon's eyes and sighed.
"I'm not upset with you, but your trainer really needs to understand boundaries," Trunks said to the creature who was showing bewilderment, she didn't know what she had done to make him think that she thought he was upset with her. "And not wake up people with water coming out of a living creature's mouth," Trunks finished speaking to Azurill as he faced Misty.
The red haired girl couldn't help but to just look at her baby Pokemon and her grouchy friend."Aw, mister tough guy has a soft side," Misty cooed.
Trunks shook his head. "I thought we've been through this," he had red splotches on his face, not from anger, though.
Just then Bulma came in to check on Trunks. "Oh you're awake," she said casually even though she could see he was still a little wet.
"Yea, thanks to Miss. Water Squirter and her living squirt gun," he notified his mother.
Bulma looked at the baby creature in his hands, he had a grouchy look appearing on his face that said he wanted to kill anyone in his path, but the way he was holding Misty's Pokemon seemed like the opposite as he was being gentle and putting the tiny Pokemon in any harms way seemed like that would be the last thing he would do. Trunks were sure something of a mystery that not even his own mother could point out.
"Well I'm glad you're up because Gohan and Goten are here to tell you news," Bulma informed her son but Misty was there in hearing distance.
"What news?" Misty and Trunks asked in unison.
"Gohan found Lemon's space pod and brought it here for me to examine from last night, it turns out he decided to come back and help me take a look at it," Bulma revealed what happened when they were all asleep.
Everyone walked into the lab and spotted Gohan looking at the space pod and Goten messing around with the tools. Gohan seemed to be in good condition and the same went for Goten except he had a few more scratches than Trunks.
"Afternoon everyone," the true winner of the Cell games greeted.
No one said anything. Bulma went to go help her friend as Trunks and Misty went fooling around with the tools alongside Goten. Azurill got into it and ended up jumping on Goten's head without him knowing. Psyduck even popped out of his Pokeball to join the fun, however, every time he handles a tool he somehow always makes it land on his head. It didn't really matter none of the tools were sharp or at least none of the sharp parts of it didn't make contact with his head.
After a while, Azurill was back in Misty's arms and Psyduck was constantly tripping over wires and breaking some glass contaminants along the line. Bulma and Gohan were too busy to noticed the mess behind them, yet they heard the glass shattering and told the kids to be careful over their shoulders despite being too spacey to realize it wasn't even the kids that were making noise.
"Why don't you put him back in your Pokeball?" even the always humble Goten was getting a bit aggravated, albeit the fact he felt bad for the duck Pokemon and didn't want him to get hurt in any way or form.
Misty didn't hesitate as she took out her Pokeball for Psyduck. "Way ahead of you. Psyduck return!" A beam of red light appears to absorb the duck Pokemon back into his Pokeball.
"Okay, I think this is what we needed to know," Bulma found a secret pocket in the back of the inner part of space pod and took out some sort of booklet to examine it. It spoke in a language no one could understand.
"Darn it. It's a good thing I have a translating machine, I mostly use it on animals but I upgraded it for reasons like this," she informed everyone. Bulma got out of the space pod to walk over and grab a device that seemed to scan the object in her other hand.
"Translate machine?" Misty asked.
Bulma faced towards Misty and nodded. "You see I'm not going to know all languages in the world and since there are other beings out there with native languages and writing that nobody in this world can translate, I have this bad boy of mine to make it all that easier. All this thing has to do was scan it and translate the best way I as an individual can understand that and the way to do that is scan me, the current holder," She explained while making everyone feel like Misty's Psyduck. "You can also use it to scan text of any hard core text structure, like if you didn't comprehend what happened in a math textbook or something this baby will help you and translate it into words you understand," she added feeling more proud of herself.
"Don't you think it would've been better for Goten to hold it that way we all could understand it?" Trunks asked his mother.
Bulma quickly scanned everyone that way they were all able to hear and understand it in their own way. Suddenly a robotic masculine voice spoke in a matter of seconds. 'My journal experiences,' it seemed to translate. 'Enter password'. Bulma put the translating device down because she knew she wouldn't be needing it from that point on. Once the scan process is done it's done.
"Great, now I have to crack the code," Bulma sighed getting to work on it.
"How come you need a password?" Goten asked innocently.
"Goten a journal is like a diary and a diary is supposed to be private especially if you're a girl," Misty explained discontentedly at him. He looked at her as if he was at sea.
"Girls like to keep their privacy," she clarified simply.
"Done," Bulma announced. "Already?" The three kids asked together. Bulma opened the booklet that translated 'Special memory journal invented by Lemon' and it gotten everyone transported to somewhere they didn't recognize.
"Is this your home Misty?" Goten asked.
"Nope," Misty answered.
'You are now entering your memories, please find something to be happy about Lemon," The masculine voice said in the language everyone understood. Everyone looked in wonder and saw a little girl with greenish-hair that was long and tied into a ponytail and she had brown eyes.
"Lemon," Gohan whispered.
"How? I thought she had shorter hair not to mention the fact she's dead," Trunks responded to him smartly.
"We must be seeing what she sees as a memory just from our own view," Gohan said to him.
"But that's not how journals work," Misty retorted.
"True, but looks like this one does," Bulma said.
They all saw the little girl running and jumping and being a regular playful child with her parents who had the same hair color and eye color as she did, except her mom had a pink highlight in her hair and that can easily be spotted on Earth and even though they weren't seeing Earth at the moment even though the group was still home since it was just a simulation.
'I remembered playing as a child just a few years before the war, happy and carefree,' the group heard a female's voice this time and it wasn't robotic sounding and she sounded like she was narrating.
The Saiyans automatically recognized as Lemon's voice. The area seemed to change 'than 2 years later the Saiyans unexpectedly attacked in their monkey form,' the Tuffle continued to narrate her life. The group got to witness dozens of Saiyans in their great ape form killing the Tuffles and screamed as they were being stepped on but the foot of the Oozaru just went through them.
"Gosh that was way too close for comfort," Misty panted as she put her hand on her chest with Azurill on the ground while everyone nodded in agreement. Azurill seemed like she was about to cry but Misty picked her up to rock her that way she wouldn't.
"Did anyone wet their pants?" Trunks asked hoping no one would answer that. Goten who was standing right next to him raised his hand. Misty and Trunks looked at their friend in disgust.
'I escaped thanks to my parents but there was only one space pod and I happened to be in that one,' When the gang heard the Tuffle this time she sounded like she was sad. The supporters and warriors actually got the opportunity to see her cloaked parents telling her to make no Saiyan live and got to watched her go off in space and then they 'transported' to the planet where she was safe and where it all started. 'I promised I wouldn't reveal my species name," the group of five heard her.
Just then they saw everything Lemon stated in her life story about living on the planet to planet and the fact she was one to run away amongst other things like how she got information to track down everyone and to find any clues at all.
The heroes saw her being raised by every species she came across and took her in and gave her everything she needed like food, shelter, clothing, and materials to help her with her plans to make weapons for destroying the Saiyans but really anyone who meant harm. In return, she learned all the culture from every ruling inhabitant from every planet she lived on.
The group paid attention to her fails at her experience and noticed she refused to give up and watch her grow in seconds. Our heroes saw that Lemon was told about her former planet filled with Saiyans being destroyed by the evil lord Frieza and they actually saw her grumbled the words 'serves them right' after she was told before she fully grew.'My goal was to save any Tuffle because I couldn't possibly be the only survivor, right? Also, hunt down and destroy anyone who puts others in harm's way like Saiyans and anyone part of Frieza's galactic army,' The set of heroes heard her say.
'I also didn't always feel welcomed because of the kids of the kind families I was with treated me as a freak,' The gang heard her as they saw memories of child Lemon being picked on by children of a certain species that had the nerve to push her to the ground too. Young Lemon didn't seem to be fighting back nor she wanted to, she kept repeating 'only hurt the Saiyans,' and the children kept on kicking her and calling her crazy. It turns out that happened on every planet she had been on. There will always be jealous or scared kids that would repeatedly beat her and she would let them go through with it.
Goten and Gohan wanted to stop them but they wouldn't be able to hear since it was just a simulation of someone else's past, let alone a past neither of them was born during the time.
'I know every one of them is afraid of me because I'm different I still loved them none the less even though they didn't love me,' Lemon sounded like she was about to cry. 'I was just something unexpected and the last unexpected thing I experienced wasn't a good one. I couldn't blame them I was just a visitor they hardly knew that was living with them for the time being. So I choose to continue to fight for them even though I knew they want was to pick a fight with me. After all, they lost loved ones too and they possibly couldn't afford to care for another person even if they wanted to.' The Tuffle seemed to have seriousness in her voice.
Eventually, they were at the memory where she was genetically engineering herself and creating clones and being careful along with studying how they fight and act in general. Some of them even attempted to kill her by pulling her head off and were helped thanks to her long hair but fortunately for her, their time limit was so minimum. She refused to give up and kept working and after taking a break she chopped her hair off before getting back to business. Lemon even got help from anyone she was currently living with and she agreed to it much to her dismay.
"Gee that was close," Goten said referring to Lemon's near death experience.
"Shush," Misty, Gohan, Bulma, and Trunks hushed him, having Goten quiet immediately and with added bonus, he shrunk himself down in embarrassment.
Lemon used her fighting abilities to attack her enemies and soon became somewhat famous with neighboring planets by having the nickname 'Galactic girl'. The group that was witnessing this saw her snake constriction power where she uses ribbon-like material that shoots out of her wrists towards her enemies and ties them to squeeze the blood followed by their lives, in other words, tied too much together that they became apart. Apparently, she could also turn invisible, develop gills to breathe underwater, and she can survive space.
Trunks covered Misty's eyes before the blood came gushing out of the male victim since he knew what was coming, no he didn't sense it because it was all just a simulation to them, which did actually happen but to the group, there had no effect towards it because it happened many years ago.
The memories of Lemon seemed to skim more and more although there was no rush. It was really just a summary of her life, and everything she told Trunks, Goten, and Gohan in her life story was present and it turns out she knew about super Saiyans and was actually close to working with Vegeta in Frieza's galactic army but never actually spoke to him but kept her strength because she knew she wasn't ready to face him just yet. Lemon also didn't seem to be taking any chances rather or not the super Saiyan transformation was real or not and secretly kept training herself and restrained her strength that way she didn't have to go on the hard missions, which was a smart decision because she didn't go to Namek to help Frieza find the dragon balls. The Tuffle apparently knew about the magical balls but needed to keep her focus on getting stronger and smarter even if she didn't want to plus she was only able to go on missions that didn't involve hurting anyone innocent, which was the main reason she kept her power level low also she was smart enough to figure out that the scouters only worked well on determining power levels to a certain degree.
'I vow to mostly protect my friends and family and fight for anyone who stood on my side,' everybody heard her pledge. Soon there was the sight of Lemon her hair the hair color and the length she was last seen with appeared, the warriors and their female supporters even got to see how she knew where the last remaining Saiyans were. Lemon knew the whole time but needed to keep going with her training as well as take breaks and not only that the group saw she needed to pinpoint planet Earth because that was where the Saiyans where they were last reported despite it being many years ago at the time.
It was a time of the memory where she met the warriors. Misty and Bulma had the opportunity to see what the fight was like without getting in the way and having a front row seat along with it; however there was still something that didn't seem right no one, even Goten got it.
"How come we are seeing us even though she died before she could possibly program her memory database?" Trunks asked.
"Beats me," Gohan spoke.
"I guess she doesn't need to as long as she has some sort of memory going on. I mean think about it, we didn't see her really touch her memory device and she went through a lot yet here we are witnessing it all," Bulma explained.
"You know that sounds really familiar to me," Trunks thought out loud distantly.
Misty saw what Gotenks looked like and giggled at the fusion dance making both Goten and Trunks blush. "Guys you look handsome when you're the same person," she commented as her Azurill made tiny cute noises that agreed with her. "Although that technique is absolutely ridiculous and pathetic and stupid, and-" Misty stopped listing with her hand being covered by Trunks' hand.
"We get it, but it was the only way," an annoyed Trunks told his female friend. Misty took out her hand to grab Trunks' to continue to talk.
"I hoped you washed your hands," she spits out just to be safe.
They heard her little speech and as for Bulma and Misty, they got the chance to see Lemon's clones. When Lemon's death was about to occur Misty knew what was coming and quickly got into Trunks' arms and began to cover her face onto his shoulder with Azurill being in both of her arms in order to prevent from either of them seeing the sight. Bulma covered one eye as Gohan covered both of Goten's while looking away and shutting his own. Trunks hugged Misty tightly as he shut his own eyes.
Everyone heard her screaming and then it stopped right there and soon they were all back in capsule corp. The entire time Bulma had one eye open and she said that she actually didn't hear her stop screaming until they were all back home, in other words, Bulma saw her dying, she just didn't actually see her die.
"Maybe it's because we can only see her life memories," Trunks suggested letting go of Misty.
"Yeah and as soon as she stopped screaming we appeared here, right?" Misty asked trying to get the gist of everything.
"Her screaming did sound like it was being interrupted," Gohan noted. "As in if she were screaming as a movie character and someone hit the pause button," he added.
"I thought her screaming at the end did sound funny," Goten finally said.
"Me too," Trunks agreed.
"I wasn't even really there the first time and I thought the last part of her shrieks also sounded a bit odd," Misty nodded.
"Therefore we must've returned because that the end of her life memories so it stopped there," Bulma finally said.
Just then everyone heard someone clear their throats from behind them. Each of them turned around to find the Pilaf gang and it appears that it was Mai who cleared her throat since was the only one who was putting her hand away.
"Where the heck were you guys?" Shu asked.
"Seeing memories of Lemon from our perspective," Trunks said casually.
The pilaf gang looked at each other. "Who's Lemon?" Pilaf questioned. Misty, Bulma, Gohan, Goten, and Trunks all sighed in disbelief even though in fairness they were never told.
The Pilaf gang, the duo of Goten and Trunks, and the youngest orca trainer that was carrying her Azurill were at Atlantic area. Misty did her daily work as everyone followed to watch her. Soon the Pilaf gang and Azurill (Psyduck too) had the chance to meet Splash the Orca.
"Psyduck, I choose you!" Misty pulled out her Pokeball with one hand as she carried her blue baby Pokemon in the other. A yellow duck Pokemon appeared. Misty kneeled down next to the edge of the platform holding Azurill with both hands as Splash greeted her with so much delight.
"Psy?" he looked at his trainer confusingly.
"I thought your Psyduck couldn't swim," Goten said.
"He can't, but I really been dying for him and Azurill to meet Splash since yesterday," Misty responded not looking at him but instead Splash.
"You have?" her friends asked behind her.
Misty ignored them and greeted her Orcinus friend "Hi Splash! I would like for you to meet Azurill and Psyduck they're my good friends that happened to be like family so be good to them," Misty introduced her Pokemon to her Orca for the first time.
Splash seemed to show joy and excitement and Azurill seemed to struggle out of Misty's hands and was instantly put down by her trainer as Psyduck grasps Misty's kneeled left leg. Azurill appears that she wanted to play with the giant black and white baby and to show it she jumped on Splash's nose. Splash also seemed to want to play with the tiny blue Pokemon by seemingly purposely sticking out her nose at the edge as if wanting Azurill to jump on in the first place.
Soon enough Splash was balancing Azurill on her nose and Azurill was making little joyful noises along with Splash and to Misty that was a symphony, and the few times Azurill fell but thankfully Azurill was able to float using her tail and Splash used her nose to push the baby pokemon. Next thing everyone knew was that Splash brought Azurill back to Misty as if saying playtime was done.
It was time to get down to business. Misty got herself into a wetsuit, blindfolded Splash and herself as Trunks was supposed to wait for a signal to throw a robotic fish that Goten was supposed to control. Azurill was in Mai's arms, Psyduck was beyond her leg and everyone watched.
Misty blew the whistle as Trunks went on cue with his job and Goten started his by using the fish controller.
"Okay Splash lets do this," Misty said getting into action.
After many attempts neither one of them couldn't catch the robotic fish; however, they worked together just fine and made a good team none the less. Hours had passed and the team that was in the water decided to call it a day. No one on the sidelines gotten bored, in fact, they were all fascinated by how Misty was able to team up with Splash.
Misty gave Splash some fish to eat then called upon Goten and Trunks to get close to the platform, which they hesitantly did. When they were at the edge Misty had Splash turn around and had her tail to come up and make a big splash on the two unfortunate boys up front.
The spiky black-haired boy spits out water."That was critical," (A/n I had to, people)Misty hears Goten mutter in annoyance for the first time since she got to Earth.
"Why did you do that?!" Trunks shouted at his aquatic loving friend. "I mean first your little wake-up call now this," he said stomping off to the side to cool down.
"Because" Misty wasn't doing a good job of holding in her laughter."You didn't take me with you to see your fight and I already had it planned with Splash," Misty kneeled down to pet Splash to say goodbye.
Indeed it was a busy and interesting day for mostly Misty but it wasn't over since Trunks and Goten had to take Mai and Misty (Psyduck and Azurill too) to Marron's for their sleepover.
I know this chapter is like a century long but I couldn't stop typing. I'm just going to end the chapter here and the sleepover will be planned but I wanted everyone to see a better picture of my 'villain' in the story which is why I did it, also I need more inventions because come on Dragon ball is based on future events and I do have more than a few inventions around. I hope to find a way to use them in future chapters but possibly not all of them.
Please review and if you're reviewing to anyone at no matter what choose to be kind in words please and stick up for others.
