Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Analyze them?" A shiver ran down her back. "Sorry, but that sounds like something an evil lab would do to poor, unsuspecting creatures, which are made into brainless zombies. @.@ I guess I watch too many movies... sweatdrop " Sammy let her head fall onto the head rest, eyes closed. It was easier to listen to things with her eyes closed.

"Hmm... getting your hands on a virus doesn't sound too good..." Sammy joked, knowing what he meant by that.

"Ditto... and not the pokemon." Sammy sighed, shaking her head. "People are weird. Glad I'm not one," she chuckled a bit at her bad pun, although she didn't find it funny.

_____________________________________________________________
The morning sun’s rays shone in through the four paned window and temporarily blinded me as I sat up in my bed, rubbing my eyes, I remembered the night before. A wild party with the fellow schoolmates at Haley’s house. I shrugged my shoulders and rolled them, trying to derive the loose feeling of muscles with a lot of rest and sleep, but to no avail. I felt something warm in between my legs and something wet under my sheets. I quickly threw the sheets off and relaxed, “Oh! You guys!” I scolded, looking down begrudgingly at them rolled up into tights balls in the warmth of my body heat, poochyena and arcanine were drooling and clawing in there sleep, scratching my legs and probably dreaming of running after tasty poffins. I shooed them out of bed and observed my thoroughly scratched legs.
With a sigh I flipped off the rest of my sheets and jumped out of bed, cursing as the cuts started to bleed. “Look what you did now!” I cried, leaping at arcanine and poochyena as they tried to escape and sleepily giving them each a playful bop on the head. Poochyena and arcanine growled as they bolted out the door after cleffa and torchic.

I met them all downstairs after taking a shower and bandaging my wounds, I had dressed light, a sky blue cardigan sweater with light green jeans embroidered with flowers at the seams. Poochyena and arcanine greeted me sweetly, seeming to make up for the way they had scarred me in their sleep. I smiled at them mockingly and laughed when they acted like espeons and rubbed my legs while they hummed softly. “Nice try, guys!” I laughed, shooing them so I wouldn’t fall, I slipped on a red beanie and walked outside into the chilly winter afternoon. “Happy new year’s day, guys!” I said, motioning them outside to the snow that fell in soft white flakes.

After going inside I had taken out my notebook which I had recently bought to record missions in. I flipped to the front half of it which was filled with uncompleted missions and looked up the most interesting one; Party Quirks. “But I just went to a party!” I complained, remembering last night where everyone had gorged themselves on carrot sticks and fruit punch, most everyone had gone outside to…lose their apatite, including me and had promised never to go to a party again. “But it says here there’s scyther in this for me, and I guess that’s a pretty cool pokemon. I should also start working on my grass pokemon…” I murmured, looking down at torchic and arcanine. Arcanine barked and torchic chirped, hopping up and down excitedly. “plus I need some ultra balls…alright! Let’s do this!” I cried, jumping up, arcanine barked, surprised, and jumped back to avoid being trampled and poochyena yapped on derisively. I rolled my eyes and took out my best black trench coat, “C’mon, to the shopping market!”

We arrived at the shopping market and I thanked Nick, waving goodbye as he drove off with his friend Mark to the superstore to buy medicine for Mark’s sister who had caught a cold on the night of the party. I turned as torchic pulled my pants and ran after my pokemon which were scurrying away into the throng of people who were standing in the marketplace. I ran after them until I came upon a fireworks stall and realized there were only three boxed sets left, “Oh! I need these!” I cried, grabbing them, but just as I grabbed the last another hand reached for them. I turned and looked straight into a face out of a boy model magazine. I stammered and stuttered as I tried to regain balance, which was especially hard with the Christmas crowds and the boy’s hot face so close to me. He smiled and I nearly melted, “Can I please have these?” he asked, smiling almost smugly, and of course I immediately shoved them back to him, making him stumble, “S-sure thing!” I laughed nervously, never in my life had such a hot guy talked to me. He thanked me, bought the fireworks and ran off.

Torchic pecked my leg and I looked down, recovering from my daze. “What?” Torchic burnt my pant leg and I hopped up and down, “Huh? I was…supposed to get those for the party…?” it took me three or four long minutes to realize what torchic was saying, and by then I should have thought the guy was gone. But when I ran towards where he had disappeared I saw him standing there, his back to me. I ran up and tapped his shoulder, he turned and frowned, but smiled again, “Yes?” he asked. I looked up into his miraculous blue eyes then shook my head, “I’m sorry, but I really need those fireworks for a mission for my team, can I please have them?” the boy frowned again and looked around, scratching his beardless chin, “Well…”
“Please! Anything!” I pleaded. Torchic joining in.
“Well, okay, but only because you’re such a cute girl!” he laughed, I nearly fainted but when I reached out to grab the box he pulled it away, “Not so fast,” he sighed, “you have to battle me for it! If you win all the party stuff you need is on me, if I win you must be my slave for the rest of the day!” I replied, a little too early, and I realized what he meant by slave when he held up his shopping bags mockingly from across the abandoned field. I sighed and looked down, “Torchic!” I cried, panicking. Where were the rest of my pokemon!? Torchic looked around and chirruped, “Let’s make this a one pokemon battle, seeing you’re a little short on pokemon!” the boy shouted. I realized I didn’t know his name so I asked him, “Its Justin!” he replied, laughing, “let the battle begin!” he threw his pokeball and out came an eevee, “Aww! So cute!” I screamed, doing a little dance, I cocked my wrist and flicked out my hands and fingers, “Go! Torchic!” I cried, torchic leaped onto the battle field, ready.

“Now! Use tackle, eevee!”
Eevee dashed towards us, racing faster and faster until it was a blur. I tried to keep track of it, but couldn’t and gave up, “Use tackle, torchic, only twice as hard!” torchic pelted across the field mimicking eevee’s moves and leaped into the air. Eevee and torchic collided, a shock was visibly seen pulsing through their bodies as they struck each other. They both brushed off each other and landed closer to the opponent. “Turn around and peck eevee!” torchic turned sharply and flung itself at eevee who dodged precariously close to a nearby bush. “Eevee! Use take down!” eevee jumped up and hit torchic with such force so they both skidded back a couple of feet. Torchic shook itself and we watched eevee’s move recoil. Eevee glared at us but we stood strong and tried our best to look intimidating, “Torchic! It’s time to use scratch, followed by a fiery ember!” Torchic leaped into the air and soared over eevee’s head, landing behind it he jumped onto eevee and began scratching eevee’s ears and face. Eevee cried out in pain and butted torchic off, but torchic used it to climb into the air above eevee. Torchic timed everything perfectly and right at the peak of torchic’s jump he released and fiery inferno that scorched eevee and the ground around it. “Torchic! Quick peck!” I cried, as torchic started to descend. Torchic flipped in the air and hurtled straight into the dazed eevee who was busy looking at a suspicious burn. Eevee stumbled and fell into a heap on the grass, “You said, all of the party stuff was on you?” I asked mockingly, cheering on torchic.

As we walked through the marketplace, Justin and I looked around, picking out plenty of expensive stuff that would look nicely in the Aqua headquarters. I felt a little bad for Justin so I asked him if he’d like if I bought him some lunch, “No, thanks,” he’d said, “The money I earn from modeling is enough for this stuff!” So he did model!

Justin and I were just eating a fine meal of ramen when two boys almost as hot as Justin walked up, “Hey, Justin, what’s with the chick?” the broader, more muscular of them asked. Justin just smiled and had the two sit down as he moved to sit down next to me on the crowded booth seat, “This is…” “Tally!” I finished for him, smiling at the cute boys. “Do you know Justin or something?” the guy asked, “Because you two seem pretty friendly…”
“We just had a pokemon battle over these fireworks, that’s all…now he’s buying me everything on my list!”
“Justin!” the boy yelled, slapping the booth table so hard it jumped, “You know you can’t do that especially with the debt you owe to that guy and everyone else!”
“What!?” I shouted, “You owe a debt!? Why didn’t you tell me, I didn’t need you to buy that stuff for me!” Justin looked surprised, but laughed it off and made me sit down, “Listen, sorry, Tally, I’m in debt but I manage, besides it’s none of your business!”
“Yes it is hers!” the burly man growled, “and Jake here and I will get you back all your money! In a pokemon battle!” I looked at them and blinked, “Well alright, but my other pokemon disappeared so…”
“Let’s find ‘em then!” the man sighed, pulling up Jake and Justin by their shirt collars, “C’mon little guys, let’s find ‘em, what are they?”
“Oh! They’re an arcanine, poochyena, and a cleffa…”

The search lasted hours on end, but we finally found them all, looking up at the gigantic Christmas tree just being taken down in the square. Poochyena and cleffa immediately ran up to me and barked and cried their excitement, but arcanine slowly approached, looking reproachfully at the three models. “Oh, you guys, these people are Justin, Jake and…and…” “Austin” “Austin! We’ll be battling them!”

“Poochyena! Go!”
“Vulpix! Your turn to shine!”
Poochyena and vulpix faced off, watching each other with intent eyes.
“Poochyena! Let’s make this fast so we can make it to the party! Go now and use tackle along with a well timed iron tail!” Poochyena raced off in the direction of our opponents, “Vulpix, use your flamethrower!” Austin shouted in his powerful voice, “And I want you to work it!” I blinked and watched incredulous as vulpix twirled in the air then landed as gracefully and blew out a plume of fire so beautiful it nearly hit and singed poochyena if not for the fact poochyena wasn’t easily impressed by such performances. “Good job, poochyena!” I cried, watching as he attacked vulpix from all sides. Vulpix shouted out angrily at poochyena, but poochyena, unrelenting, kept attacking. Vulpix looked around and I watched it closely, Austin had something in mind with his Vulpix. “Vulpix! Use double team to surround poochyena!” Vulpix ran out of poochyena’s attacks and started to run; creating the image of many vulpix’s surrounding the confused poochyena. Poochyena looked around, trying to figure which vulpix was the real one, but vulpix’s double team was making its evasiveness rise to major proportions. Poochyena and vulpix stared at each other, even though it might not have been the real vulpix. “Now, vulpix! Use your scary face!” Vulpix used scary face which was multiplied by the amount of vulpix “clones” facing poochyena. Poochyena backed away from the many vulpix clones, “No, poochyena! Use your iron tail and run them down along with bite!” poochyena glanced at me then started to run along the circle of vulpix’s, picking out certain ones and biting or hitting them with his iron tail. Suddenly, poochyena hit something solid and he turned to bite the real vulpix, his jaws clamping tightly around vulpix’s ear.

Vulpix cried out and stammered back, then fainted on the spot as poochyena retreated back to my side. Poochyena looked up at me and barked, and surprisingly, he started to glow, “Poochyena?” I gasped, and poochyena barked, but he was no longer poochyena, for he grew bigger and his coat became darker until he was a beautiful looking mightyena. “Mightyena!” I cried, hugging his furry neck, “Oh! Wow!”

“I-it’s my um…my turn…h-hello, Tally…” Jake stammered, the cute shy kid was just walking up with his pokemon just out of the pokeball, “G-g-go, zigzagoon!” zigzagoon jumped out in front of his trainer and looked at arcanine. “It’s time to finish it!” I cried, as the battle began.

It didn’t take long for arcanine to finish off the zigzagoon. I cheered as Justin came up and looked back at his buddies as they told him they’d meet him in the car, “Hey,” Justin smiled down at me, “let’s get together some time, later, ‘kay? Here’s my cell, call sometime, bye!” he laughed running over to the awaiting Mercedes.
