Episode 129! Is this a prime number? Guess not…

Disclaimer: *Picks up wooden sign* I must protest Nelvana owning CCS! But that has nothing to do with the point that I don’t own pokemon. However, I do own Destiny n’ stuff. *Smile*

Notes: <> indicates telepathy, ** indicates thoughts, italics indicate poke speech.

Lance = Crystal. She has the Moon pokemon cards and the Clow/Sakura cards.

Ash = Red. He has the Kanto set and is trying to get the Johto set.

Giselle is an imposter who is trying to steal the Johto set…

Jarzard – I know, ignore the flamers. Usually they’re just ignorant gits who write worse than you do. And… hurry n’ update! *_*

Link Masters – the judgment for the Johto set is different from the Kanto set, and it will be explained in a later chapter.

Tmp – well, differences are good. Dunsparce was, again, randomly chosen with my calculator, so…

Digifan1 – hai! *waves*

Aragorn the Ranger – well, inconsistency is good. I guess its sunny… it was rainy when I wrote that… but it’s still cold! Hey, its raining hard today!

Episode 129: A fiery good time

“I think we’re lost.”

“No, Ash, we are not lost.” Lance reassured him. “We’re only about 10 miles from the next island.”

“Really? Yay!”

“Yes, we should get there soon.”

Ash beamed. “Okay then!” He pulled out a bag of tortilla chips. “Want some?”

“No thank you, I don’t like them.”

“Too bad.”

Pika-chan grabbed two paws full. “Well, then I’ll help you eat them!”

“Pika-chan…”

They soon arrived on the shore of the next island. Ash noticed something odd. There were a lot of Growlithe and Arcanine running around on it, but almost no water or grass pokemon.

“Is this an island inhabited only by fire-types?”

“Not sure.” Lance said. They hiked onshore. The pokemon were only mildly curious and left them alone.

“Did you see that, Amy?”

“Yes I did, Jake. I think that’s our next target.”

“This time, the boss will promote us for sure!”

“Ninetails!”

Ash and Lance were practicing transforming magic on inanimate objects.

“So, how did you turn paper into clothes, anyways?”
Lance smiled. “Want me to show you how?”

“Okay!”
Lance pulled several pieces of paper out of her pack. They were just plain white squares, without any magic aura on them.

“Now, do you remember what I did?”

Ash thought back. “You drew on the paper… and then you blew on it, right?”

Lance nodded. “Actually, I wrote on the paper, but it doesn’t matter. First, you have to think about what to create.”

“Like an apple?”

“That will work.” Lance said. “First…”
She pulled out a pen and wrote apple on both pieces of paper. Then, she picked it up in her hands.

Ash did the same, copying her motions.

“Now think about the paper turning into the apple.”

Ash nodded, closed his eyes and concentrated.

“Okay, now, you bring the paper up in front of your face and blow on it. Keep thinking about the apple.”
Ash did so. There was a flash of white light.

A green apple sat in front of him.

“Cool!” Ash said. “Does it work for everything?”

“As long as it is not something extremely complicated, like a palace.”

“Okay.”

“You can create pokemon, but then they appear as magic-types.”

“Sounds interesting.” Ash said. * But why would I want to get pokemon that way? *

“Is the paper special?”

“No, any paper will do, same with the pen, but you must use a pen.”

Ash filed that away in his memory for future reference.

Lance blew on the paper, forming a red apple, which she threw to Luna. This time, Pika-chan did not interfere; since she was too busy trying to figure out how to cook Vulpix-chan’s special cinnamon applesauce.

“Mm….” Pika-chan whispered as she stared at the picture in the leather-bound cookbook.

The Chosen sighed and decided not to bug their guardians for a while.

Ash thought hard and blew on a second piece of paper. This time, there was a creamy white jacket lying in front of him.

However, it was a girl’s jacket.

“Ash, did you let your mind wander?”

“No, it’s for my mom.” Ash said.

Lance raised her eyebrows, but did not interfere.

Ash also made a pale blue pair of socks for himself. Then, feeling a bit tired. He lay down and took a nap.

“Prepare for trouble!”

“And make it double!”

“To protect the world from conflagration!”

“To unite all fire-types within our nation!”

“To denounce the evils of flaming love!”

“To extend our reach to the stars above!”

“Amy!”

“Jake!”

“Team Rocket juggles fire at the speed of light!”

“Surrender now, or prepare to fight!”

“Ninetails!”

Ash woke up. He rubbed his forehead and groaned.

Jake pulled out a hose attached to a huge water tank and began firing.

Many of the fire pokemon fell over, twitching or fainted. Amy scooped them up and put them into their truck.

“Cut that out!” A voice said. Lance jumped down from a tree, with Aerodactyl. “Aerodactyl, use Ancientpower!”
Aerodactyl nodded and used rocks to destroy the water tank. However, the tank imploded, sending water every which way.

More fire pokemon fainted.

“Let’s go while we still can!” Amy said. She grabbed Jake’s hand, and they hopped into their truck, driving away as fast as they could.

“Come back here!” Lance said. She hopped onto Aerodactyl’s back. “Come on, Aerodactyl.”

They flew after the truck.

Meanwhile…

Ash realized that he was sopping wet when he awoke.

“Oh, you’re up?” Pika-chan asked. “Crystal already went off to catch Team Rocket.”

“Maybe she needs help.” Ash said, as he stood up. Squelching sounds came from his drenched attire.

“Get into some dry clothes first.” Pika-chan advised.

Ash nodded, and went into a tree to change. He emerged in dark blue overalls over a black shirt and green rubber boots. He also put on a green rubber raincoat, grabbed his staff, and used the Pidgeot wings to fly after them.

Soon, he spotted Lance and Aerodactyl using Supersonic waves from the air against the rockets.

“Looks like she’s doing fine.” Pika-chan said.

Ash nodded. They hovered, waiting. Then, Amy pulled out a flamethrower and let loose six bursts of fire.

Lance managed to dodge five, but the last one caught her between the shoulder blades. She tumbled off Aerodactyl and towards the ground.

Ash panicked. He quickly teleported over and managed to catch her. However, he also managed to catch on fire.

They both quickly stopped, dropped, and rolled.

“Owwwww….” Ash said. His scrapes stung, but at least they weren’t serious or deep. That was good.

“Aerodactyl, use Rock Slide!” Lance called up to her pokemon. She began brushing dirt and dust off her clothes, before realizing that they had mostly been destroyed. She groaned.

“Ash, do you have any paper?”

Ash blinked, but nodded and handed over a piece. Lance quickly wrote and blew on it, before she pulled out another copy of her traveling outfit. She grabbed it and headed to an outcropping.

Ash stared. * Oh. Weird. I thought that some fire wouldn’t do that much, but it was burning for a bit. *

Then, Ash turned his attention back to TR. He had to free those fire pokemon, but how?

“Something rampaging.” Pika-chan suggested.

“Okay then…” Ash said, pulling out a pokemon card. “Tauros!”
Tauros immediately charged TR, destroying the truck.

“Hey!” Amy protested.

“Diglett, go!” Jake called.

Ash yawned. He crossed his fingers. “Thunder Beam.”

A huge bolt of electricity came from him and crashed into TR.

“AAAAAHHHHHHHHHH! LOOKS LIKE TEAM ROCKET IS BLASTING OFF AGAIN!”

*Ping*

Ash would have said more, but then he noticed that there was a Johto pokemon card next to him.

You have a noble heart. I would like to join you.

Ash smiled. “Okay. Under a new seal of contract, your master commands you, return to your true form, pokemon card!”

The pokemon smiled and blurred away.

“Quilava.” Ash said.

Lance came out, now fully clothed. “Great job, Ash!”

“Hai, Crystal!”

They shook hands and headed back to camp.

End Episode 129!

NO! PLOTBUNNIES LEAVE ME ALONE! Drop a review and save me!

Flames will be used to fry ham sandwiches!

Final Judgment won’t take place for a while. Oh… about 25 episodes or so

Authoress’ rant: today I found a YAOI Red/Yellow fic. O.O *Shudders* I mean, its kind of cute, even though I much prefer Championshipping, but how can it be yaoi if its pokemon adventure?

And…

Goodbye hope! *Waves* The last several fics I checked out that started good and I was looking forward to reading suddenly turned into mushy AAMRNS in a few chapters. *Cries* Can’t there be action without it? Oh well.

End of Rant
