Episode 145! *Hi, minna! *

Disclaimer: Hmm… *thinks hard* No, I don’t think I own pokemon. Darn. But I do own Destiny, Charlotte, Pika-chan, Vulpix-chan, Angel, the Triple Guardianship, etc.

Notes: <> indicates psychic communication, ** indicates thoughts, italics indicates translated pokemon speech, yeah! *Smiles happily*

TWITCH! Some baka apparently decided to lift my plot from this fic… again! I’m sick of this happening! If the blatant plagiarism keeps up I think I’ll quit at ff.net…I mean it. But first, I’ll put up all the CCA chapters on my computer to prove that I was first…this has got to be the annoying thing of the day to happen to me.

*Much glaring* Anyways, just needed to get that out of my system. If you feel like it, go flame the copy. If not, I might feel like doing it. In fact its feeling very appealing, very, very, very appealing… But no, I didn’t flame the author like I wanted to. *Sighs* Not like what happened when someone first stole Destiny from me… what’s the point. It’s only going to give their _____ fic more attention anyways. *Laughs sarcastically* I love my life…

Aragorn the Ranger – thank you

Link Masters – um, Giselle and Kamon have been eliminated from the timeline basically. Ash needs no disguise now, neither does Lance. Ash is still Ash, Ash calls Lance by her real name or as Crystal depending…

Ranma – well, Ash is a bit ditzy.

Xaero – thank you

SS2 Megami-sama – as per command, *bows*

Blackness44 – much thanks! *Pika-chan and Vulpix-chan are eating while Angel is restraining Luna…*

Tmp – hai! *smiles*

Episode 145: Sheesh, I was just tired!

“Key that hides the power of the stars, reveal your true form before me! Your master under the seal of contract Ashura commands you, Release!”
There was a release of power and Ash’s staff appeared.

“Rapidash, I choose you!” Ash said, jumping onto the back of the fire horse. “Let’s go!”

The situation was thus. Sometime in the early, ungodly hours of the morning, Ash had woken up sizzling. Thinking that it was Pika-chan’s fault, he had woken her up. Instead, they had discovered the Elekid card laughing while sending more jolts at them.

Ash had opted for not waking the others up. He had quickly dressed, gone through his morning ablutions, and taken off after the little pipsqueak.

Which was why he was no using Rapidash to run after it.

“It’s running too fast!” Pika-chan said.

“Pika-chan, how can it run so fast?”

“I have no idea. Maybe it’s getting help from another card.”
“Like what?” Ash asked, perplexed.

Pika-chan shrugged hopelessly.

After twenty minutes of chasing the Elekid, they reached a stream. It quickly swam across. Rapidash did not look very willing to cross.

“It’s okay, Rapidash, girl.” Ash said reassuringly. “Return.”

The card vanished. Ash drew out another pokemon card.

“Sandshrew, I choose you!” Sandshrew popped out and landed on top of Elekid.

Elekid, shocked, let off a Thunder attack, but it had no effect.

“Shrew!” Sandshrew said. It quickly kicked up a Sand-Attack, causing Elekid to cough and splutter uncontrollably.

Elekid this time tried Thunderpunch, but it still failed.

“Sandshrew, use Earthquake!”
Coming right up, boss! Sandshrew said. He began pounding on the ground with his claws. Elekid bounced up and down several times, before it finally fainted.

Ash grinned. “Oh yeah!”

“Do it now!” Pika-chan said from a tree.

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

There was a flash of white light and the Elekid card floated in front of Ash.

Ash grinned. “Lucky!” Then, he yawned. “Yawn… I’m going back to bed.”

He teleported back to camp and climbed into the nearest tent.

Lance was woken up by Luna’s screams.

< What is it?! > She demanded. * I need my sleep! *

< I’ve caught him in the act! I knew he was a pervert! >

Lance groggily awoke and found Ash snuggled up to her, fully dressed and fast asleep.

< I knew it! > Luna crowed. < Wait until I tell Pika-chan! >

Lance rubbed her eyes. < Luna, shut up. It’s five in the morning, and I’m tired! >

< Oh yeah? >
< Luna, SHUT UP! >
And without further ado, Lance pulled the covers over both of them and fell asleep.

Around seven, Charlotte was awakened by shouts.

“What is it?!” She demanded, coming out of her tent in full armor and brandishing her sword.

Luna looked up, from where she and Pika-chan were shouting at each other.

“Well?!” Charlotte asked, tapping her foot.

“Luna is accusing my chosen of being a pervert!”

“Pika-chan’s lying!”
“Is not!”

“Is too!”

“Is not!”
“Is too!”
“QUIET!” Another voice shouted. Lance stumbled out, still in her light blue pajamas with little Dratinis on them. “Can’t a person get any sleep around here?!”
“But he was in bed with you!”

‘Luna, you think too much! We were just trying to sleep!”

Ash stuck his head out. “I’m sorry, okay? It was dark, and I just stumbled into the nearest tent since I was tired! I’ve already apologized!”
Pika-chan stuck out her tongue at Luna. “See?”

Luna growled.

Angel padded out. < What seems to be the problem? >

< Oh, just a spat between those two. > Vulpix-chan said, as she munched on some apple slices. * Yummy! *

Angel wisely dragged Luna off.

“I really didn’t mean it.” Ash said.

“I know; I don’t blame you.” Lance said. * Stupid Luna… making such a fuss over this. It’s not like we haven’t slept in the same room before. *

“Luna’s just insane!” Vulpix-chan piped up.

“I disagree. She’s just very high-strung.” Dragonair-chan said, stretching herself out to bask in the warm sunlight. * Aahhh… *

Ash and Lance both shrugged and kept eating.

“KWEEK!”

“What was that?” Charlotte asked, looking up from her glass of milk.

“Well, it was some kind of pokemon…”

“Let’s go look!” Ash said. He grabbed his key. “Release!”

They soon found the offending creature.

“This isn’t a pokemon.” Ash said. He narrowed his eyes at the black floating mass.

“Demon, probably.” Lance said.

Ash nodded. “In that case… Eterneon, I choose you!”

Eterneon popped out of her poke ball. She immediately spotted the creature and used Light Ray. Stars shot everywhere, stunning it. Soon, it began to dissolve into little blocky pieces.

“Didn’t I seal the gateway?”

“I think some already got in before you sealed it, so they are stuck here.” Lance said.

Ash narrowed his eyes. “Very well then. I’ll hunt them out.”

Eriol flipped off his mirror.

“You haven’t been checking on them much.” Spinel said.

“Why? They’re mostly well established. Although I didn’t predict the Giselle situation.”

‘Is she still alive?”

“I believe so, and still with Team Rocket.”
“But Ash has already corrected what she has done.”

“Still… she is like a loose cannon, a bit of dust that can tip the scales too far in the wrong direction. Something must be done.”

“Can’t you seal her, master?”

“I do not like to intrude in other dimensions. They will have to deal with her on their own.”

Spinel sighed.

“Don’t be so blue, Suppi!” Nakaru said. “Look! I baked some cinnamon rolls for you!”

“No thank you, Ruby Moon.”

“Nonsense!” Nakaru said, stuffing one in his mouth. “Eat up!” She said cheerfully.

Eriol’s eyes bugged out. “Nakaru!”
“Hehehehe!”

And soon, he was too preoccupied with a sugar high Spinel to bother with the others…

Pokemon Universe…

“Wartortle, use Rapid Spin!”
“Interesting.” Lance said, as Wartortle blew away the Spikes that Qwilfish had laid down. “Qwilfish, use Poison Sting!”
“Yikes! Wartortle, withdraw!”
“Follow it up with Toxic!”

Qwilfish nodded and splashed Wartortle generously with the scummy acid.

Wartortle quickly reverted back to card form.

Ash narrowed his eyes. * Might as well try this one. *

“Elekid, go! Use Dynamicpunch!”
Elekid nodded and punched Qwilfish. Little swirls went around Qwilfish’s head.

“Not bad.” Lance said. “But…” She tossed Qwilfish a bitter berry, which it ate. “Qwilfish! Use Flail!”

Qwilfish nodded and flailed mightily, throwing Elekid aside.

Ash suddenly felt himself feeling dizzy. “I don’t feel too good, Crystal…”

Lance nodded. “All right then. Let’s stop for now.”

End Episode 145!

C&CC make me cheer, Flames make me shed tears…sorry for making you all listen to my rant. *sighs*
