Episode 125! Order!

Disclaimer: *Looks inside a mirror to scry* Hmm, I see that Nintendo, Satoshi Tajiri, 4Kids, Game FREAK, and Shogakukan comics own pokemon. I also see me with destiny, Pika-chan, etc.

So I think we all know who owns what.

Notes: ** indicates thoughts, <> indicates telepathy, italics indicates pokemon speech, Yatta!
Lance has the Moon card and Clow/Sakura card sets.

Ash has the Kanto card set and is trying to get the Johto card set.

Charlotte has the Sun card set.

Giselle is trying to steal the Johto cards away from Ash…

Ranma – you’re right, sealing Geodude was fun!
Xaero – no, there shall be another way in the future.

SS2 Megami-sama – that’s ok, I can wait. ^_^

Tmp – you’re right! I got the idea from Naruto! ^_^ I think his Sexy no Jutsu is kind of cool. The link to my fanart is on my profile, and its at the Pokemon Tower Library

Link Masters – hi! *Sweatdrops* I am Shadow, I changed my name to shadow/phantomness on fanfiction.net because a lot of other people were named shadow… Card Captor Ash was written a few years ago, and this is the revised version… Giselle still will have to take the Final Judgment…

Aragorn the Ranger – Ash can’t kill Giselle yet. It’s not in his character at this time. Also, unwritten rule is that you don’t attack the other obviously/kill them until the final judgment has passed.

Jarzard – guess you’re right, add Legacy n’ Ace Sanchez too… hey guys, I’ll have more fanart on Pokemon Tower up soon, as soon as jolt master puts them up! And I changed the link, since it broke. It’s on my profile.

Safire Ranmako – thank you!

Digifan1 – its amusing to write n’ amusing to read. ^_^

Episode 125: Water, dragon, and ice, oh my!

“Another Magikarp?” Ash asked as he reeled in his Good Rod. * How disappointing… *

“Well, what do you expect? Dragonair is scaring away most of the fish.” Lance said.

“I know, but still… even a Goldeen would be nice.”

“Good luck!”

Ash sighed, put another worm on his rod, and threw it back into the water.

Meanwhile, someone else was fishing as well. Only this person was in a boat, with a Tentacruel by her side.

“Still no water pokemon… eh? What’s that?”

“A dragonair?!”

“Is that your Dragonair?” A voice yelled.

Ash winced at the shrill, high- pitched squeal. * Oh no! Please don’t let it be a fangirl! *

Lance winked at him. < Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it. >

< Thank you! I’m going to go hide now. >

< Hehehehe…. >

< What? Pika-chan, if you were famous, you’d understand how I felt! >

< You’re in disguise, silly, remember? >

< Still! >

Ash dived underwater.

“Yes, she’s mine.” Lance said, stroking Dragonair (Darkstar)’s head.

“Wow! Your dragonair is so pretty! How did you get one?”

“Lucky, I guess.” Lance said. “I’ve had him since he was a Dratini.”

“How cool!”

The girl got all starry-eyed.

Lance thought for a second. “Oh! Are you a water pokemon fancier?”

“Yep! My name’s Marina! I just love water pokemon! What about you?”

“I’m Crystal. Sure, water pokemon are cool, but I like dragon pokemon better.”

“Oh, well, not everyone has dragons. Plus, dragons are weak to ice.”

“And water is weak to electricity and grass, which dragons have a 2x resistance to.”

“So you’re saying that dragons are better than water pokemon?”

Lance shrugged. “Well, why not?”

Marina put down her rod and stood up. “Then why don’t we have a little match to see how well your dragons match up against my water types? Three battles, whoever wins two?”

“You’re on!”

Ash stuck his head up out of the water, but seeing the catfight, decided not to interfere.

“Introducing, the Pearl of the South Seas, Marina! Trainer chooses Tentacruel!”

“I’m Crystal, from Dragon’s Den! Darkstar, you’re up!”

Dragonair nodded and allowed Lance to climb on his head.

“Tentacruel, start off with a Poison Sting attack!”

Darkstar shot out of the water, flying into the air. Tentacruel fired off another wave of poison stings, but Darkstar breathed out a Dragonbreath attack that vaporized all of them.

“Okay, Tentacruel, try using Supersonic!”

“Darkstar, protect yourself with Safeguard!” A veil dropped over Dragonair’s body, protecting both trainer and pokemon from the supersonic waves.

“Okay, now use Thunderbolt!” The attack fried the Tentacruel, and it fell over, paralyzed.

“Return!” Marina said.

“You’re pretty good… but can you beat my Starmie?”

Lance shrugged.

“Starmie, Blizzard!”

The ice shards all flew towards Darkstar, who panicked. He fainted before they even hit. Lance sweatdropped.

“Okay… Darkstar, return! Gyrados, go!”

Gyrados came out and roared, showing its teeth. Starmie quailed.

“Don’t let it intimidate you, Starmie! Hit it with a Thunderbolt!”

“Just land one Bite on it and its finished!” Lance said. Gyrados flew towards Starmie and sank his fangs into its shell.

Starmie shrieked and fainted.

Marina began to sweat. * This girl is pretty good. Guess I’ll have to use my secret weapon… *

“Psyduck, go- WHAT?”

An elegant blue Golduck appeared in front of Marina.

“Oh! It finally evolved!” She said, glomping the pokemon. She would have said more, but then the sea parted.

“Prepare for Trouble!”

“And make it double!”

“To protect the world from devastation!”

“To unite all people within our nation!”

“To denounce the evils of truth and love!”

‘To extend our reach to the stars above!”

“Amy!”

“Jake!”

“Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light!”

“Surrender now or, prepare to fight!”

“Ninetails!”

“We finally found you – hey, where’s the twerp?” Amy asked.

“Who gives?” Jake said. “Mankey, go!”

“Slowpoke, Snubbull, go!” Amy said.

Ash peeked out and decided to let the girls deal with it. He dived back underwater again. Pika-chan tsked, but sighed.

“Gyrados, Hyper Beam!” Lance said, unimpressed.

“You too, Golduck!” Two hyper beams sent Team Rocket’s Magikarp sub flying into the air.

“AAHHHHHHHH! LOOKS LIKE TEAM ROCKET’S BLASTING OFF AGAIN!”

*Ping*

“Now, back to the battle.” Marina said. “I’m using Golduck, of course!”

“Fine by me.” Lance said. “Okay, Gyrados, try using Rain Dance!”

Gyrados nodded, and rain began falling from the sky.

“Golduck, use Surf!”

Golduck rode on the water and crashed into Gyrados, but it didn’t do that much.

“All right, now use Thunder!”

“Thunder?!” Marina demanded. “No way!”

“Yes way.” Lance said, smiling. The Thunder attack sent Golduck flying into the water, but it still managed to Disable Gyrados.

“Tie.” Ash said.

“Cool!” Lance recalled Gyrados. “I still won two, though, so technically, I win.”

“I shouldn’t have made fun of you.” Marina said. “It’s just that I can’t stand people talking about how bad water pokemon are!”

“I didn’t say they were bad, I just said I liked dragons better.”

“Oh! I must have misheard you.”

Ash sighed in relief as the two girls shook hands. Then, they surfed off.

“Well, that’s that.” Pika-chan said.

“No.” Ash said. “There’s a pokemon card underwater.”

‘Why didn’t you say so earlier?”

“You never asked.” Ash said.

“So, what type is it?”

“Water, I think.” Ash said, looking down. “Yep. Excuse me for a minute.” He activated his key and dived underwater.

A few seconds later, he emerged with a card.

“Remoraid?”

“Yep.”

“You did it!” Pika-chan cheered.

“And Giselle’s not in the way for a while.” Luna said, nodding.

Ash and Lance gave each other high fives and posed.

End Episode 125!

Reviews make me happy!

Flame me and you will be subjected to the burn of the hot iron on your forehead! Or, you’ll be forced to wed Pap from Huckleberry Finn. HAHAHAHAH!

*Clears throat* Sorry about that, too much American Literature…

You know, at first I wanted to write Charlotte n’ Lance’s journeys before they met Ash, but considering the heinous amount of New Trainer fics, flooding the pokemon section, I decided against it, even though I am annoyed.
