Pokemon Fan Fiction ❯ Pokemon Heroes ❯ Cerulean Adventures: Samantha ( Chapter 10 )

After Jesse and Kammy had both left, Samantha still lingered for a little while around the Pokemon Center. Honestly, she didn't know what to do with her free time. Without her friends, she was at a complete loss. After spending about another fifteen minutes at the Pokemon Center, she decided she would go off and explore the town.

 

`I wonder what Jesse and Kammy are up to' She thought to herself. No matter what she did, Samantha couldn't keep her two new friends out of her head. She remembered Jesse saying something about a Water Pokemon display. `Maybe I'll go see if I can find him'

 

After finding directions from one of the Cerulean residents, she ran toward where the Water display was being held. Although she wasn't quite sure why, she was overjoyed at the thought of going to the Water display. She wore a bright smile on her face, at least, until she ran straight into someone.

 

The person she ran into was still standing, but Samantha fell backwards, staring up at this person. The first thing she noticed about him was his sharp, blood red Mohawk placed atop his head. His dark green eyes glared down at Samantha with unbridled anger. He wore an odd piercing in his nose, and numerous others in his ears. He also wore a bright red, unbuttoned vest over a dark black shirt.

 

“HEY!” The boy yelled. He was about twice the size of Samantha. “Why don't you watch where you're going! I see we're going to have to teach you a lesson”

 

Samantha wondered what he meant by `we', but it wasn't long until she found out. He tossed a Pokeball, and out of it appeared a large, grey Pokemon. A drill-like horn was placed at the tip of its face. “Rhydon, use Take Down on this little girl!” The large Pokemon charged at Samantha, only to be stopped by stream of water. At first, Samantha was happy that Jesse had used his Staryu to stop Rhydon, but was turned around to find out who his savior really was.

 

Another boy, with short brown hair, and a backwards worn cap had appeared, accompanied by a blue, mouse-like Pokemon with large, floppy ears, and a white bottom. The boy wore a grin like Samantha had never seen before. “Okay Azumarill, use Bubblebeam!” He shouted. The aqua rabbit Pokemon shot a fast moving stream of bubbles at the Rhydon, knocking it even farther back. “So is that how its going to be” the bully shouted “Rhydon, use Horn Drill!” Rhydon spun its horn and ran after the aqua rabbit. But, neither Azumarill nor its trainer was worried. They both wore the exact same smile.

 

“Azumarill, use Aqua Tail!” Azumarill obeyed, jumping into the air and striking Rhydon with its blue, glowing tail. The Rhydon paused in its tracks, then collapsed. Samantha was still seated, shocked as to what happened. “This isn't the last you'll see of me, Johnson. I'll have my revenge still! Rhydon, return” In a beam of red light, Rhydon was recalled to its Pokeball, and its trainer ran off. The boy that had saved Samantha helped her to her feet. Still speechless, she simply smiled at him. “Hi!” He said, breaking the awkward silence “Don't mind that guy. He's just the resident bully around here, but he's not really that tough. In case you didn't hear him, however, my name is-”

 

“JOHNSON!” Another voice screamed. Another girl began stomping toward him. Fear was placed on not only his, but his Azumarill's face as well. This girl had long brown hair, and a bright, pink dress. Another bunny-like Pokemon accompanied her, but instead of being blue like Azumarill, was a dark brown color. “Janie, Lopunny, what are you two doing here?” Much like a Mime Jr. Lopunny copied each of the girl's movement.

 

“What am I doing here??? What are you doing here?! You're cheating on me, with this girl!” both Janie and Lopunny pointed at Samantha “And you told me you were going to the Water Pokemon display!” Janie ran off, crying, and Lopunny followed. Johnson stood, speechless, as well was Azumarill, and Samantha. Finally finding the ability to say something, Samantha asked “Was that, your…”

“Girlfriend, yes” Johnson finished, and then ran off behind Janie. Samantha frowned, feeling guilty for what had just happened. She decided she was going to help in any way possible. She followed the two of them and their Pokemon.

 

After a while, she lost Johnson, but found Janie and Lopunny crying on a cliff top. Samantha walked up there, and sat down next to Janie.

 

“What do you want?” She yelled at Samantha. Samantha lost her words for a moment, but then regained her thoughts “Listen, Johnson wasn't cheating on you today. He had just saved me from this bully with a Rhydon. I don't know-”

“Why should I believe anything you say?” Janie was stood up; now screaming “You're probably just lying so you can have him all to yourself. I'll make you leave me alone. Prepare to battle, Lopunny!”

 

Samantha sighed. Although she didn't want to, she figured that a battle might at least calm her down. “Well, alright. Let's go, Psy” She gently threw her Pokeball, and out of it came a small, green bird. “Wow, what a cute Natu!” Janie screamed, before regaining her senses. “Lopunny, use Dizzy Punch!” The bunny jumped at the Natu, throwing a large punch at it. “Psy, dodge and use Confusion” the Natu jumped out of the way, and shot a bolt of psychic energy at the Lopunny. It collapsed instantly.

 

“Wow, I guess its not built to battle” Samantha said, stunned. Janie began crying again at her fainted Lopunny. “You meanie! Lopunny doesn't battle, it's a contest Pokemon!”

“Contest… Pokemon?” Samantha wondered. Before Janie replied, however, the Rhydon had jumped out from the bushes, roaring loudly into the night sky. “I'll have my revenge on Johnson, by taking out his girlfriend!”

“Stop it, Gary!” Janie yelled at the bully who had now crawled from behind the bushes as well. “I told you, there's no way I can go on a date with you. Even if I am mad at Johnson, I could never go out with you!”

“Why?” Gary cried, “What does that loser have that I don't have!”

 

“How about manners, for example!” Samantha interrupted. All eyes were on her, now. “Maybe if you were more caring, and a bit nicer, then maybe she might like you. But you're a jerk, and a bully. That's what makes you a loser”

 

Gary growled angrily. “Rhydon, use Take Down now!” Rhydon angrily charged at Psy, Lopunny, Janie, and Samantha. Yet, once again, it was stopped, not by one, but two streams of water. Not only had Johnson and Azumarill showed up, but Jesse and Staryu as well. “Now there are two of you! Well, lets even the odds. Go, Electabuzz!” Gary threw another Pokeball, and out came a yellow and black, cat-like Pokemon. “Electabuzz, use Thunderbolt, and Rhydon use Horn Drill!”

 

“Okay, everyone, attack now!” Jesse commanded “Staryu, use Water Gun on Rhydon!” Samantha smiled, and followed “Psy, use Confusion on Rhydon!” Janie and Johnson smiled at each other. “Lopunny, use Dizzy Punch on Electabuzz!” Lopunny jumped at the Rock Pokemon, while Johnson commanded Azumarill “Azumarill, use Aqua Tail!”

 

All of these attacks combined sent Electabuzz and Rhydon flying into Gary, then sending all three of them flying. Jesse, Samantha, Janie, and Johnson all smiled at their accomplishment. Samantha hugged Jesse tightly, beaming.

 

After all had settled down, Johnson was spilling apology after apology at Janie, who simply smiled and agreed. Samantha, however, interjected “Johnson shouldn't have to apologize for anything! He simply saved me. I don't know much about him, but I don know that he's absolutely crazy about you! Besides, I already have, someone else…”

 

Everyone wondered whom, but even after much questioning, Samantha never said. She simply smiled at them all, until they changed the subject. Samantha had questioned Janie on what a contest Pokemon was. “Contest Pokemon are Pokemon who are raised specifically to compete in contests around the world. Pokemon Coordinators” Janie explained “Are their trainers, who compete in these contests in hopes of winning ribbons These ribbons are the Coordinator's badges, which gets them into the national Contests held at other times”

 

Samantha for the rest of the night began thinking about Pokemon Contests. All four of them had returned to the Pokemon Center, where Johnson and Jesse were arguing about what had happened at the Water Pokemon display, although, Samantha wasn't really listening. Happily, she eventually fell asleep, thinking about all that had happened that day.
