This is Episode 131! ^_^

Disclaimer: Welcome to Shadow’s world. Here, in this black hole apart from the rest of civilization, Shadow controls all. Therefore, I own pokemon. However, out in the real world, it belongs to Satoshi Tajiri, Nintendo, Game FREAK, 4Kids, and a host of other rich companies. Shadow does, however, own Destiny and some other characters, as well as new pokemon and attacks.

Notes: <> indicates telepathy, ** indicates thoughts, and in this place, italics shall stand for pokemon talk.

Ash is our hero and the master of the Kanto pokemon cards.

Lance is Ash’s traveling companion, friend, and master of the Moon pokemon cards and the Clow/Sakura cards.

Episode 131: Ice in the islands?

“Dragonair! Use Ice Beam!”

Dragonair nodded and the beam from its horn sent the opposing Pinser flying. The junior trainer sighed and recalled his pokemon.

“Wow, you’re a good trainer.”
“Thank you.” Lance said, as she collected some money. < Ash? Where are you? >

< Battling. > Came the reply. < This island is chock-full of eager, young, hotshot trainers. Great way to make money! >

Lance sent a mental laugh.

< See you later! >

< Yes, maybe we can have lunch together. >

Lance recalled Dragonair. * That’s the third trainer that’s challenged me. So far, I’ve only had to use Tempest… *

“I challenge you!”
Lance sighed. * Not another one… *
Then, she looked up. “Oh! Hi, Lorelei.”

“Hi!” Lorelei said. “I’m taking my vacation in the Orange Islands. How have things been?”

“Pretty good.” Lance replied. “So, how’s stuff back at the Plateau.”
“I’ve only been back once, the guards are all in place and everything, and so I don’t think that anyone’s gotten in. Plus, we’re on vacation.”

“Well, you never know. Some trainers…”

“Are insane. I know.”

“I challenge you!” Another voice chirped.

Lorelei sighed. “It’s so hard to get any privacy.” She whispered in an undertone. “I should have gone in disguise.”
“I know. Can’t you just tell them to leave you alone?”

“It’s not easy…”

A girl ran up. “I challenge you!”
Lorelei sighed. “Okay, let’s go to the stadium.”

“You hold all your battles in the stadium?”

“Yes.” Lorelei said. She ruffled Lance’s blonde locks, earning a look. “Have fun, Crystal.”
“I will! Maybe I’ll see you later.” The two parted and split up.

“Cloyster, Blizzard!”
“Oh no! Raticate!” The girl wailed.

Lorelei sighed. “Next.”
A boy walked up. “Charmeleon, go!”

“Cloyster, Surf!”

Charmeleon was easily overwhelmed. No more challengers showed up. Lorelei nodded in satisfaction and went to change, before heading for the beach.

Ash found Lance in a dark blue bathing suit and sunglasses, soaking up the sun’s rays on the beach. She was lying on top of Gyrados’s back. Gyrados was growling at any male that came within twenty feet of his trainer, discouraging any males from being foolish enough to try.

“Hi.”
Lance looked up. “Hi, Ash.”

“Mind if I join you?”

“No problem.” Ash went to change and lay down on the sand next to her, on top of a fluffy blue towel. They closed their eyes and soaked in sunlight.

“So, did you win?”

“Yep.” Ash said. “I only had to use Flareon too. Two junior trainers that only had grass and bug types.”

“Ah.”
Ash yawned. “I’m getting sleepy.” He soon fell asleep. Lance did too. They didn’t wake up until it was early afternoon.

“Hot dogs!” Pika-chan said, pointing to a nearby stand.

“Oh, why not?” Ash asked. He bought six hot dogs, three for him, one for Pika-chan, one for Luna, and one for Lance.

“Here you go, Crystal.”

Lance nodded her thanks and bit into it. They had fries and soda too. After a not-so-healthy lunch, they packed up their supplies and went swimming with their water pokemon.

They ran into Lorelei, who was swimming with her Dewgong.

“Hi, Ms. Lorelei.” Ash said politely.

“Hi, Ash.” Lorelei said. “How’s your journey?”

“Fine. I have 2 badges already.” Ash said proudly.

“That’s good. Are you going to challenge Drake?”

“I don’t’ know. I already have 1 league championship.”

“Actually, I’m going to challenge Drake.” Lance said, grinning impishly.

“I feel sorry for the poor trainer.” Lorelei said, sighing.

“Why? Do you like him? I thought you liked Bruno.”

“No, Bruno is not my boyfriend.” Lorelei said.

“Then who is? Koga?”

Lorelei thwapped Lance. “Not telling!”
Ash shrugged. * Well, I’m not going to ask… *

They swam around and splashed water at each other, Lorelei’s glasses got soaked, and Ash nearly lost his swimming trunks because of the furious water fight.

“I guess we should head back now.” Lorelei sighed.

“Yes.” Ash said. He would have said more, but all of a sudden, it started to snow.

“No way!” Lance said. “These are tropical islands!”
‘I think we’d better get back to shore.” Lorelei said. They quickly swam back to the edge of the water and scrambled out onto dry land.

“Why is it snowing here?” Lorelei pondered.

< Pokémon card? >

< Of course. > Pika-chan replied from her seat on Ash’s towel. < Ice-type, obviously. >
< Any idea what? >

< Flying type. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be able to change the weather. >
< Gotcha. >

“Quilava, I choose you!”
Quilava popped out.

“Can you find the ice pokemon that’s causing the snow?”

Quilava nodded and took off. Soon, it had a pokemon encircled with its flame wheel.

“Delibird.” Lorelei said.

“Oh, I see.” Lance said. “Ash, you can capture it now.”

“Okay!” Ash said. He pulled out his staff. “Under a new seal of contract, your master commands you, return to your true form, pokemon card!”
Delibird shivered, and turned back into a pokemon card.

Lorelei yawned. “It’s getting late. Well, it was nice meeting you too. See you again at the Plateau.”

“Bye!”

Pokemon center…

“Now why didn’t she freak out?” Ash asked.

“She didn’t see you use your magic.”

“What do you mean?”

Lance smiled. “I was shielding you with illusion.”

“Oh!”

“She just saw you throw a poke ball and capture it.”

“Thanks for covering for me.”

“Not a problem.” Lance said. “You did pay for lunch, after all.”

“Yes, but still…”

“Aw, don’t be overmodest, Ash.” Pika-chan said. “It doesn’t do much for you.”

“Pika-chan!”

Ash threw an orange at her. It bounced off her head. Luna caught it in her mouth and flew off.

“Hey! That’s my orange!”

“No it isn’t! It’s mine now!” Luna said, dashing out of Pika-chan’s reach.

Pika-chan sniffled emotionally. Ash sighed and gave her strawberry shortcake.

“YAY!”

And so, night fell on the group of friends.

End Episode 131! Yes, I know it was a filler episode, or at least kind of. But I was bored. Anyways, review! ^_^

Flames will be used to toast the evil Egg! *Sizzle*

And… last of all, please do write up your trainer descriptions. I’d like to have them.
