The Search for Mew and Celebi Gold Michaelnguyen89@aol.com Chapter 8-9 Disclaimer: I don't own Pokémon or anything else in the story except Michael and Kelly. Author's Note: I got some help from a friend and fellow author here at The Pokémon Tower. Her pen name is Pojo Shipper and also the new Pokémon and Jade Athena Sakura is a character that she made (well I made up the name for her character but she helped pick first and last name). ::Any text between the symbols are action during speech:: Chapter 8: Another New Friend Michael and Kelly opened the door to the temple. As the two went in, Michael got out the radio to call back to Prof. Oak and report of their status for the search. As the two went deeper into the temple, the darker it got and so Michael stopped while Kelly was still walking since she was behind Michael. Michael searched his backpack for a flashlight and before he could turn it on, Kelly tripped over a rock and almost fell to the ground until Michael caught her before she hit the ground with his left arm. As Michael caught Kelly, Michael turned on the flashlight and then Kelly thanked Michael. "Thanks Michael for catching me," Kelly thanked him. "Your welcome," Michael replied. As Michael got Kelly back to her feet, something rushed past them. Michael turned around fast and pointing the flashlight right where the thing went. It disappeared. Michael told Kelly to report that in to Prof. Oak while he looked around the area to find it. He had no success so they head back to camp where everyone else was so everyone was back. "Did you guys get lucky and find anything?" Michael asked the others. "No, none of them did," Gary said for the others. "How about we all get ready to go to sleep?" Michael suggested. Before anyone could reply, everyone's Pokemon that was out began to freak and stared in one direction and then Pikachu sent a Thunder Shock into the bushes where all the Pokemon were looking at. When the attack was over, everyone heard something moan from the pain and then fell to the ground with a load thump. Michael was the first to go in and investigate and what he saw surprised him. Behind the bushes was a lovely young lady dressed in denim bellbottoms and a floral-print halter-top. Her hair was as long as she was tall. Her hair was tied up into braids. The color of her hair was strange. On the top layer closest to her head was green. Then a two inch red stripe followed and then a lovely blue-lavender was the last of it. She held a pokeball that was so blue and clear that you could practically see through it. She wore a necklace that had a blue-purple diamond on it. She had a red dot on her forehead. It was her birthmark. Michael asked Ash to help get her out of the bush and try to revive her since she was out cold thanks to Pikachu's Thunder Shock. About 30 minutes later, the girl woke up. She began to look around and was confused. Before she blacked out, she remembered being behind a bush and now she was here in the center of the camp she was looking at. As she tried to get up, she feel down because she was weak from that Thunder Shock. She was still confused on what happened. She then asked someone a question. "Where am I and what happened?" she asked. "Well my Pikachu Thunder Shocked you," Ash said. "And I found you after the attack and Ash and me got you out of the bush," Michael said. "So what's your name?" Gary asked. "M'name's Jade Athena Sakura. Call m'Jade please," The girl said. "What?" Everyone said confused. "I'm sorry but I don't know if I understand you very well?" Duplica asked. The accent bewildered her. "Oh sorry. I guess that m' accent is too dinkum thick. I said that my name is Jade Athena Sakura, but you can call me Jade," Jade said trying NOT to use so much Aussie accent. "I take it that you are from Australia?" Prof. Oak stated. "Y'bet. So can I stay for now? I lost m'group that I was travlin' with," Jade said. "You sure can if that's alright with everyone else?" Prof. Oak said. Everyone nodded. Jade sat down and started talking about her home and what kind of pokemon lives there. All of the Professors went to bed. Jade still had her Pokeball in hand. Ash noticed the PokeBall and wondered what type of Pokemon was in it. "Is that your Pokemon Jade?" Ash asked. Jade nodded. "Do ya wanna take a'peak?" Jade asked back. Ash nodded. "In th'mornin'. I'm dead beat." Jade said forgetting the thick accent. One look at all the puzzled faces and she remembered, "I'm tired," Jade finished. So everyone else went to sleep so everyone went to their tent until Michael stopped and asked Jade where she was going to sleep. "So where you going to sleep. None of our tents have enough room and we're out of extras," Michael said. "I have tent that can fit three. How about I share with you and the person you're sharing your tent with," Jade suggested. "Uh, so in other words, I'll be sleeping with two girls. This can't be happening," Michael said stunned. "If you like, you can sleep on the outside or on the left or right side inside the tent or the middle," Jade said. "I guess I'll go along with this but no funny business while I'm asleep. Got it?" Michael stated. "I promise no funny business. So which spot do you want and who are you sharing with right now?" Jade asked. "I'm sharing with Kelly. I guess I'll take the center. So where's your tent?" Michael asked. "Right here," Jade said pulling out a bundle of tarp, poles, and cord. "You set it up and I'll go get Kelly and tell her about the tent change. I guess I'll tell Prof. Oak about a vacant tent so it could be used for storage in the morning. Be right back," Michael said and left to go get Kelly and tell her about the switch and bring her to the new tent that was being put together. When Kelly and Michael got back to Jade, they found her in the new tent. Michael moved the stuff from their tent to Jade's tent that they found pretty big. After everything was set, Michael just went straight to sleep. Kelly and Jade were still up so they talked a little bit. "So how did you two meet?" Jade asked. "I met him in the woods a couple of days ago when I got lost in the forest until he came and took me here," Kelly said. "Do you like him?" Jade asked a little quieter. "::blush:: Well...I...um...yes, I do like him. No, I love him," Kelly said. "I knew it!" Jade exclaimed. "Well please, don't tell him," Kelly pleaded. "Okay, I won't tell him," Jade replied. "Goodnight Jade," Kelly said. "G'Night Kelly," Jade replied. After the girls said their goodnights, they went to sleep. But after the girls were fast asleep, Michael got up and looked at Kelly. He heard the conversation between her and Jade and he couldn't believe it. She actually loved him. Before Michael went back to sleep, he kissed her on the forehead. Chapter 9: New Pokémon In the morning, everyone woke up but when Kelly and Jade woke up, they noticed Michael disappeared. Kelly knew where he might of went. She told Jade where he might be at right now and he would be back soon. So when the two girls got to the campfire, Brock and Tracey were cooking breakfast. Kelly and Jade sat down to wait for breakfast to be finished so they waited and soon the others gathered around the fire and breakfast was done. By the time everyone was done eating, Michael came back. There was no food left and Brock said there was no more food supply so Tracey went to Goldenrod City with Gary to buy some more food so everyone couldn't eat for at least 2 to 3 days. When Brock was about to say sorry to Michael for not saving some food for him, Michael left right away and went to the tent that he was sharing with Jade and Kelly and stayed in there for about 5 minutes and came back out with his backpack and took out a smaller bag that was three-fourth the size of his backpack. Michael went over to the others and sat down on a log that was by the campfire. "Let me guess, we're out of food, right?" Michael asked. "Yeah. We are. Sorry for not saving you some. Tracey and Gary left for Goldenrod City to some more food," Brock said. Michael smirked. "Good thing I was prepared for a situation like this," Michael stated and opened the bag. Inside the bag was lots of food and it looked like it would last the whole entire group a month. "How come you didn't tell all of us that you had all of this food?" Ash asked. "I have some good reasons why," Michael stated. "And what would those reasons be?" Kelly asked. "One, this was a emergency food supply that is to be used when we are real low on food or when we are out of food. Two, I didn't tell because I thought that SOME people will try and take some food from the supply. And three, if me and my search group is lost in the woods for a couple of days, this would help us survive if there isn't any plants we could eat nearby. These are my reasons for not telling," Michael explained. "Those are some good reasons, Michael. Now would be a good time to use the supply because we are out of food right now," Prof. Oak said. "It will be in use for the group by the time I get my breakfast out of here first and finish my breakfast. I mean, all of you just finished breakfast," Michael said. "Okay, okay. We'll all wait until lunch time to use it then," Prof. Oak said. By the time Michael finished his breakfast, the search groups got ready to go when Jade stopped them before anyone left. "I have one question. Which group will I be in because I'll be helping out," Jade said in a normal accent. "You can join Michael's group. They have more progress then the other groups so that could be a good group to start in," Prof. Oak said. "Okay. Well great that I'm in the group that has the people I'm sharing my tent with," Jade said as she walked towards Michael and Kelly. "Well, what are you all standing around for? Move out and go back to the areas you guys searched yesterday!" Prof. Elm stated loudly. So as the groups returned to where they last searched, Ash and Misty began looking in a cave that was found near the lake that was hidden in the woods real well. As they entered, they saw a faint glow ahead of them that was like a dieing fire. When Ash got closer, he began getting warmer. Same with Misty. Ash took out his Pokedex and sure enough, it was a Pokemon. "Entei, the Volcano Pokemon. This brawny Pokemon courses around the earth, spouting flames hotter than a volcano's magma," Ash's Pokédex said. When Entei heard the Pokédex, it looked towards Ash and Misty. It began running in their direction. Ash and Misty ducked as the fire Pokemon ran out of the cave. When Michael, Kelly, and Jade made it back to the temple, they all got their flashlights out, turned them on, then headed into the temple. They didn't need to struggle to open the door because it was left open when they last visited the temple and left when they had to go back to camp. "Kelly, once were in there, look where you go so you won't fall over...again," Michael said. "Um, okay. So should we split up or stay together or you go by yourself with me and Jade looking around together?" Kelly asked. "Lets stick together. Remember, there was something in there the last time we were here and we don't know what it is and if it's friendly or dangerous," Michael said. "So when did you guys come here?" Jade asked. "At least a couple of hours before you got Thunder Shocked by Ash's Pikachu on the day we found you," Michael said. "Oh. So think that thing that's in here is still there?" Jade asked. "Maybe. Just be careful and stick close to each other and we should be fine until we need to head back to camp," Michael stated. "Got it, Michael!" Jade and Kelly said in unison. By the time they finished talking, the trio got back to where Michael and Kelly were yesterday. With nothing interesting to investigate, they headed on down the hall. As they were walking, Jade's pokéball fell out of her pocket but without her noticing. When they were out of sight, a Pokémon came up to the ball, picked it up, and left silently. Back with the search team in the temple, they reached a dead end and there weren't any other halls in there. As Michael was leaning on the wall that was at the end of the hall, it began to move over on the left side of the wall and in the result Michael fell down on the rocky ground and another part of the hall came into view. "You okay, Michael?" Kelly asked while helping him up. "Yeah. Guess the last people here before we came must've sealed this place up before they left for good," Michael said getting up with Kelly's help. "Well, what are you waiting for? LET'S GO!!!" shouted Jade. "::sigh:: Seems like someone is very energetic today and wants to get this search done quickly," Michael said and ran to catch up with Jade. "Agreed," Kelly said and also ran down the hall to catch up with them. "AHHHHHH!!!!" Jade yelled. "What?" Michael and Kelly said in unison. "I LOST MY POKéBALL!!!" Jade yelled. "The one with the new Pokémon Ash wanted to see?" Michael asked. "The same one! Let's just stop where we are now and look for that Pokéball!" Jade exclaimed. After Jade calmed down, Michael took out his radio and reported about the missing Pokéball and said that Kelly, Jade, and him were going to postpone there search and start looking for the ball. When the three backtracked all the way to the entrance of the temple, the ball wasn't found. Then Michael thought of something. "Jade, did you leave your Pokéball back at camp?" Michael asked. "I'm not sure. Maybe I did or maybe I didn't," Jade said. "Hold on, let me radio any Prof. Oak," Michael said. After Michael asked Prof. Oak to go into their tent and look for where Jade said she thought she last put her Pokéball and when the professor reported back, there was bad news. The ball wasn't there so Jade must've taken it. "Maybe you dropped it on our way here or something," Kelly said. "Maybe," Jade replied. Just then, they all heard a Pokémon cry. They all rushed to where it was which was on the other side of a lake by the temple and they saw three things: a Umbreon, a Vaporeon, and Jade's Pokéball being passed between them as if it was a toy ball. "HEY!!! GIVE BACK MY POKéBALL!!!" Jade yelled at the two Pokémon, which caused them to run away into the forest, and leaving the Pokéball. "I guess that the thing we heard in the temple yesterday was that Umbreon because that is the only thing that can see in the dark," Kelly said to Michael. "I guess you're right," Michael replied. With the Pokéball back, the three headed back to camp since it was about 9 o'clock. When all the search teams returned, Ash remembered about Jade's Pokémon and was going to ask if Jade would show it to them but before he asked, he overheard Michael, Kelly, and Jade talking about how the missing Pokéball fell out of Jade's pocket and onto the ground where that Umbreon might've been hiding near by and took it when they were gone. With this heard, Ash decided not to ask yet but maybe tomorrow. To be continued ---> Hope you enjoyed it. I haven't done some writing for like a week. I decided to tell why I chose the names Michael and Kelly. The reason is that Michael is my real name and I know a girl named Kelly who goes to my school. Well, ever since Kindergarten, I had a crush on her and I still haven't tried to ask her out and I just finished 6th Grade! That's the 'story' about why I chose those names.
