I've always wanted to a chance to write something about something. So I present to you that something. It is something I genuinely wrote for my enjoyment and I hope you enjoy this story as much as I do. - Jenny


Story of My Life

For many years, I have trained to become the best Pokémon trainer one can possibly be. I traveled to distant lands and observed many Pokémon throughout the years I had spent as a Pokémon trainer. It had been a long time since I had gone back home and I began to feel a little homesick. I debated whether or not I should return home but with my Pokédex nearly complete; I decided to take a little break and return home after all. My return home was unnoticed since I had not arrived ‘till after dark… or so I thought.

*Sound of scurrying, a jump and a swipe!*
*Munching*
*Lights switched on*

“Why didn’t you tell me you were coming home?!”

I had forgotten that I had left my cousin to watch over my house…

“Uhhh…. No time? Cesar, give me a break. I just got back. And how did you know it was me anyway? I could’ve easily been a robber or something… hmmm?”

“Well, for one thing I saw you on your pidgeot heading in this direction. Second, your raichu happens to be the only one of its kind, that I know of, that loves girl scout cookies and that just so happened to be the last box.”

*Looks the raichu… stuffing its face*

“Oh. I’m sorry. Rayo didn’t mean anything by it. It was a long trip… he must be starvin’. “

“Don’t sweat it. I can get more tomorrow.”

“Ohhh. Ok…. wait a minute… How did you get girl scout cookies?! And at this time of the year?!”

“Connections.”

“Connections…?”

“And by connections, I mean I had boxes stashed under you floor boards…?”

*Rayo’s stomach growls… he doesn’t look too good*

“You know that’s your fault right?”

“Hey, it’s not my fault Rayo is a pig!”

*:O*

*Rayo shocks Cesar*

“Enough Rayo! And Cesar you know better than to be calling him names! I’m taking Rayo to the Miltank Bar, you’re welcome to join when you’re in a better state of mind! ”

*door slams*

*Cesar is on the floor*

*Door reopens*

“And thank you for watching over the house!”

*Door slams*

*Cesar is still on the floor*

“Y-y-you’re… wel-c-c-come…”

*Passes out*

Rayo was too sick to walk so I carried him to the Miltank Bar down the road.
The Miltank Bar is where all the experienced Pokémon trainers get together and talk about their experiences and encounters over a round of pints(Milk, that is). Due to some of the levels of stories that are told within the bar, only people with 6 badges or higher, are allowed to enter. The owner and bartender of the Miltank is Alfred. He is an experienced Herbalist and also owns the Miltank Farm behind the Miltank Bar. By combining his knowledge of herbs with milk, he has saved people the drive into town to the nearest Pokémon Center. Both helpful and humorous, he has done the town a great service over his life-time, without any hesitation, and is loved by everyone in town.

I quickened my pace since Rayo seemed to get worse. Old memories that had been left behind in this little town became quite vivid in my head, almost to the point where I can see them. Each place had its own little memory, lodged in my brain. The school, Cesar’s house, all my friend’s houses, the dock, the grocery store, and even the crazy guy’s house; everyone of those places were priceless memories to me. But I couldn’t stay in this state of reminisce… I had arrived at the Miltank Bar.

There was a line when I got there but my raichu’s situation had to wait. There stood a machop in front of the door to the Miltank Bar. I figured that I would just run right past it but quickly withdrew that thought because this wasn’t just any machop. The machop belonged to my friend, Alex. Alex had been training with his machop to become a better fighter and vice versa. As I watched the machop perform its duty of sorting the allowed and not allowed, I felt something touch my shoulder…

“Shhh… just watch the machop.”

The voice sounded familiar but I just couldn’t remember who the voice belonged to. But I set that aside and watched the machop.

*First kid in line*
“What do you mean no entry?! We have the badges!”

*The machop shakes his head and answers with one word*
“Machop.”

“Fake?! Are you accusing me of having fake badges?!”

*Second kid in line*
“Dude, it’s a machop. Just push it out of the way.”

“You’re right!”
*First kid tries to push machop but machop won’t budge*
“Hey it’s a lot heavier that it looks.”
*Tries even harder to push machop. machop sits down to meditate*
“You’ve got to be kidding me! I’ll just have to walk over it then.”

*Machop grabs the first kid before the kid gets his foot in the door*

*:O*

*SEISMIC TOSS!*

I was in shock! I didn’t see that toss coming but that didn’t surprise me as much as what happened after.

*Other kids*
“Hey!”
“There’s no way he can take all of us on!”
“You’re gonna pay for that!”

*ROLLING KICK!*

*:O*

There were so many questions racing through my head but the main ones were: 1. How did that machop learn that move? 2. Where did the machop learn that move? 3. How did the second move not annihilate the others? Luckily the voice revealed itself to answer all three questions. It was Alex!

“That’s your machop isn't it?!"

*Hugs*
"Of course its mine. Do you know anyone else that has a machop as "lame" as this one?"

"Ha Ha... You're still as funny as I remember you."

*struts over the front of the line and signals me to come with*
"And you will do well to remember these good looks."

Yep. Same old Alex. He really was good looking but I wasn't about to give him an ego boost.

"Ugh. I really can't understand how you see in the mirror every morning if it shatters as soon as u walk in front of it, Zoolander."

"Nooo... the reason it shatters is because..."
*Does impression of Ben Stiller as Zoolander*
"...I'm way too ridiculously good looking for that mirror."

"Ridiculous...? yeah. Good looking...? sorry, don't see it."

"Ok ok enough of this Alex-is-good-looking-eventhough-the-furious-angel-won't-admit-it chat. How have you been?"

"Well no so good at the moment. Cesar gave Rayo old cookies to eat and now Rayo is sick. That's why I'm here. But I'm good overall. I've nearly completed my Pokédex but something's been bothering me lately... but I wanted to ask you something."

*Alex signals the machop to move*
"What is it?"

"How did you get your machop to do what it did?! That was incredible!"

"Shhh... We'll talk more inside, ok?"

I walked right past the machop with Rayo in my arms, into the bar and left the machop to deal with the angry line we had cut in front of outside.

[revelp8]

that was great! :applaud:

[LovelyStrife]

Wonderful job! I can't wait to read more. :-D

Story of My Life: Continued...

As I walked inside the bar, the angry shouts of the people in line grew even louder. I grew puzzled at the way Alex kept his cool and kept walking as if to ignore the situation outside.

*Alex turns around*
“I know what you’re thinking Angel… but my machop will be fine.”

I can hear the mob outside grow even louder as we stood by the door and held Rayo even closer to me.

“Angel he’ll be fine. Would if help if I sent his sister outside to watch over him?”

I really thought that he would’ve had stronger Pokémon but then again two machop are better than one. I hesitated before I answered and told him that I’d send out one of my Pokémon as well.

“No, Angel. I’m good I’ll just send his sis out.”

He took out a pokéball and released the Pokémon inside.

*:O*

“Maaa-Champ!”

I didn’t know Alex his machop’s sister. I didn’t even know machop had one.

“Daisy, go keep an eye on your brother, will ya?”

Daisy was not exactly a name I was expecting to hear… considering she was a strong heavyweight…

*The machamp heads for the door*
“Oh. And no tag-teams, Daisy! He needs the training!”
*The machamp sighs in disappointment and walks out*

The sounds of shouting and butt-kicking were still loud but those sounds were immediately drowned by the sound of a sea of conversations.
People and pokémon from, all over the world, were swapping their stories. Tales of hardships and sorrow, treasures and joy, parties, voyages, and expeditions; all of them filled the bar, each with its own distinct sound. But I couldn’t let all this sidetrack me any further than I already was and called for Alfred. He walked to me from the other end of the bar and let out a sigh.

*Alfred rolls his eyes *
“Let me guess. Cesar and some poisonous mushrooms?”
*Alfred reaches over and takes Rayo*

“Close. Cesar and cookies. Waaay past their expiration date.”

Alfred pulled a little bottle of elixir off one of the shelves and had Rayo drink. He handed his over to me and went into the back to nab a towel from the back. When he came back he asked me to hand Rayo over, wrapped him in the towel and made his way to the back.

*Yelling from the back room behind the bar counter*
“Angel, you know the drill… I’ll be back in a jiffy! Oh and help yourself to anything you like!”

Alfred knew that by heating a body up after giving any Pokémon medicine, it would make the medicine make its way through the body a lot quicker. So, Alfred would give the Pokémon a hot bath after giving it some medicine.
To pass the time, I grabbed some milk behind the counter and sat at one of the stools. I began to scan the bar for any familiar faces but the bar hadn’t changed since the last time I had been there. Most of the people in the bar were complete strangers, some were people I had seen before or had met them on my Pokémon journey and a couple of them were ones I knew. So I called out to one of them at the table across the room…

*Whistles*
“Wero! Don’t I know you from somewhere?”

His head turned in my direction, his eyes locked to where I sat and smiled. The guy I had whistled at was one of my friends. His name was Erick. We called him Wero(weh-ro) because of his fair complexion and by complexion I mean he was too white for his race. He wasn’t much of a motivated Pokémon trainer and the only thing he’d spend his time doing, was to look for different colored Pokémon. I thought it was hog-wash and didn’t believe that there were different colored Pokémon. That is until he showed me one he had captured and I never questioned him again.

“You know better than to pick, this queer of nature, up”

It was Cerda (sir-duh). He, like Alex, was also a black belt in martial arts and a fighting Pokémon trainer. Cerda was always at the top of our class in all subjects in both school and Pokémon.

“Hey, cheap shot, Cerda. I have feelings too you know.”
“Just keep stuffing your face, Wero.”

Erick had an extremely high metabolism and would never gain any weight, even though he would eat an entire buffet of food.

*Alex grabs a pitcher of milk from the counter and walks over to the table where Erick and Cerda sit*
“Erick’s a growing boy, Cerda. Just leave him alone. Come here, Angel.”

I walked over to the table and as I did I couldn’t help but feel that someone was watching me… I scanned the bar. Everyone kept right on talking as they had done when I first walked in. So, I shook off that feeling and sat at the table. We talked about the good times we had as kids. We talked about bad times and mishaps. It was great to be able to talk to my old friends again.

“Hey, Angel. Remember that time we dared you to climb up Lady Penelope’s peach tree?”

I sat there, embarrassed about that incident that happened years ago.

“Oh God… don’t remind me.”
*Erick leans over in interest with a smile on his face*
“Why? What happened, Alex?”
“Well…”
*Cerda began to smile as well*
“Oh, I remember that. You and your stupid dares, Alex. You got the three of us in a lot of trouble. This was before you moved here, Erick.”
“Ohhh…”
“Just tell him the freakin’ story already, you guys, and get it over with!”
“Ok ok. I’ll tell the story because, YOU, always wind up laughing while you tell the story.”
*Alex shrugged his shoulders but maintained the silly grin on his face*

Cerda wound up telling my embarrassing story.

“Ok. One day, we were walking back from school when we noticed Ms. Penelope’s peach tree. All of the ripe peaches, at the bottom of the tree, had been picked but there were still some left at the top. So, this idiot decides to dare Angel into climbing the tree to fetch the ones at the top and since Angel wasn’t one to back down from a dare, she climbed the tree. Up she climbed to the highest part of the tree and picked a couple peaches. Just then, out of nowhere, Alex yells out at Angel that the lady was coming back and in panic she tried to rush down the tree as quick as she can. She stepped on a branch on her way down that couldn’t support her weight. Next thing you know it the branch snapped and she fell about a yard down, only to be snagged on a branch by her underwear.”

The guys burst out laughing as well as some other people in the bar that had overheard the story.

“Haha, oh man! What happened after?”

Eager to get all this over with, I stepped in and finished the story off.

“Well, I waited there, hanging by my underwear for about an hour and a half… Alex had lied about the lady coming home. And since the boys didn’t want to get help, for fear of any punishment as a result for what they did, I really did have to wait there until the lady got home and saw me hanging there…”

The boys kept laughing and I had noticed that the bartender, Alfred, was waiting at the counter for me with Rayo in his arms. I was glad to see Rayo back to his normal self. I got up and headed towards the bar counter. Erick stood up…

“Hey, where are you going?”
“I’m going to get my raichu. I’ll be with you guys in a sec, ok?”
“Alright, but come right back! I wanna hear more! Hahahahaha!”

Erick sat back down and the boys continued their stories. I got to the counter and took back Rayo.

“Thanks a lot, Alfred. I owe you one.”
“It was nothing. Just keep him away from cookies for a while, for obvious reasons. So, tell me, was that the biggest wedgie you had ever received in your life or what? Hahahahaha!”

I was a bit angry but was over it in a second. I guess the story IS pretty funny… heh heh.

“Hahahahaha… yes. If not the only wedgie I’ve ever received.”

As I laughed I noticed the time on the clock that hung over the bar and so did Alfred.

“Are you gonna stick around a little longer?”
*Sigh*
“No, I think I’m gonna take off. I have to go check on Cesar back home. Rayo gave him a bit of a jolt earlier…”
“Shocking.”
“Heh heh heh. Oh, thanks again for fixing up Rayo… again.”
“No worries. It was great to see you again, Angel. You’ll have to tell me more of your misadventures next time you swing by. Hahahahaha!”
“Hahahahaha! Will do, Alfred. I’ll see you around.”

I smiled and shook his hand. I walked back to the table, where the boys sat, to continue my good-byes.

“Awww, no way! We were just starting to catch up!”
“Yeah, I gotta get going.”
“Erick’s right. Why don’t you stay a little longer?”
“I really gotta go, Cerda. My house is a mess and I gotta check on Cesar.”
“Ok, Angel. We’ll let you go this once but you have to promise to come back so we can continue, ok?”
“Of course! I have to tell my story about Alex fainting at the site of blood… Hahahahaha!”

I hugged them all and said my good-byes. I walked out of the bar, walked over the meditating machop, and into a post battlefield zone. The people that were in the angry line were lying on the floor, all passed out. I had the machamp check for I.D. and carry the people back to their house. After that I started making my way down the street. As I approached the dock I had remembered something! I forgot to ask Alex about his machop!

*:O*
Oh well. I’ll ask him tomorrow when I come back. I began to ponder how Alex might have done it. I wasn’t paying attention and walked right into a fisherman.

“Oh! I’m sorry, sir! I wasn’t paying attention to where I was walking.”
“It’s quite alright and please call me Dan.”
“Here, let me help you with that net. Rayo, you help too. Go pick up the end of the net.”
“Raiii…”

Rayo answered and eagerly did what he was told. He loved to help people. As I carried the net, I made polite conversation since his boat was at the end of one of the docks and his net smelled A LOT like fish.

“So, where are you headed?”
“I cannot say. For the land isn’t known by many and is only open to those who want to learn and see an in depth look into the world of Pokémon.”

I didn’t think much of it since I had already been around the world and learned as much as I can about Pokémon. I didn’t think that there was anything left to learn. But as if Dan had read my mind… he said this.

“On the contrary to what people think. There is still a lot more to learn about Pokémon. Tell me, would you like learn more about the world of Pokémon?”

Well I had fallen into a funk which is the reason why I had returned to my home town. I had asked myself if that was all to Pokémon but this fisherman had a solution to my problem. I did want to know more. So, I answered the fisherman…

“Yes. Yes I do… but what more can I possibly learn?”

The fisherman stopped walking and smiled at me.

“Lots.”

He remained quiet as we walked to his boat. I asked myself if I should ask Dan if he would allow me to come along but was hesitant about it. I barely knew the guy and he could just as easily be some crazy dude but decided to ask anyway. When we got to his boat he pulled in his net and sat down but before I could ask he extended his hand towards the other seat.

“You can come along if you like but only if you are eager to learn…”

I hesitated and thought about my cousin back home but I figured that I’d send my pidgeot back with a message and stepped into the boat. As I did I gave my home town one last look and saw a shadowy figure at the other end of the dock. I didn’t move… it just stood there. So I sat in the boat, caught Rayo as he jumped off the dock into my arms and the boat pulled away. As we sailed away into the fog above the water, the shadow faded into the fog, and was forgotten. We sailed for hours and fell asleep with Rayo in my arms.

When morning came around, Dan woke me up to watch the sun rise and as it did, it made a spectacular scene.

[thefuriousangel]

Story of My Life: Concluded

As the sun rose, the fog began to clear and as the fog cleared it revealed something amazing! And Rayo was in complete awe.

“Raiii…chuuu”

“Welcome to Pokéfarm Island.”

Dan said as we floated closer to the island. The water was so clear you could see the sea teeming with all sorts of water Pokémon from schools of magikarp to the horsea near the coral and even breeching wailord! The skies were filled with flocks of aviary pokémon. I was a beautiful site to see. As we drew closer to the dock the boats and even ships came into view, as well as the buildings and people. The island was in fact different… like nothing I had ever seen.

“ I know what you’re thinking… because I thought the same thing when I first saw the island. It is amazing isn’t it. There are no cars here, no smog, chemicals, nothing like that here on the island.”

We drew closer and I realized what he was saying was right. There were no cars that I can see. Everyone was either on foot or on their bike. There were no skyscrapers or factories of any kind. The island had a clean feel to it and it looked it too. He pulled up next to a ship and tied the boat to the dock. Rayo jumped onto the dock as I helped Dan with the net.

“I really appreciate the help but you don’t have to.”

Dan and I began to walk up the dock and Rayo picked up the end of the net.

“Rai… Raichu… Rai!”

“Rayo is right. We always help when we can.”

“Thanks a bunch. Were gonna go right and into the fourth house on the left.”

We walked to his house and hung the next on a line he had up.

“Just leave it there. You two can wait for me on the porch. I’m gonna go inside to clean up and I’ll be right out.”

Rayo and I sat on the steps and waited for Dan to come back out. We watched as people started to come out of their houses and walk towards a path that led into the hills. Everyone had supplies with them and at least one or two Pokémon helping them. One girl came out of house next to Dan’s and turned to me.

*Waves*
“Hey! Are you new here?!”

“Yeah, I just got here!”

She started making her way over to where I was. She wore overalls, had gloves in her back pocket, a pail in one hand and a sack tied to one of her belt hoops. She opened the gate, walked up to me and shook my hand.

“Don’t worry, Dan knows who I am. I’m very pleased to meet you and happy that you chose to come. We don’t get a lot of new people here.”

I was about to answer when a Pokémon popped out from behind her.

“Iggly!”
“Oh, this is Iggy. Don’t be fooled by his size… he can really do some damage.”
“Igglybuff!”

The Igglybuff walked over to Rayo but Rayo looked up at me.

“It’s ok Rayo… be nice…”
*Rayo smiles and bear hugs Iggy. Iggy looks like it’s about to pop*
“OK! That’s enough love for today, Rayo! Let Iggy go…”
*Rayo stops*

I looked at Iggy in concern but Iggy shook the hug right off.

“See I told you Iggy was tough. I’m Lovely, I’m pretty much in charge of you new kids, here on Pokéfarm Island. I will also answer any questions you have but you look like a knowledgeable person.”

“I do have one question for you.”

Just then Dan came back out with his supplies.

“Lovely! You getting acquainted? She just got here and I still have to show around. Oh, I’m sorry I didn’t even catch your name.”

“I’m Angel and this is my raichu, Rayo.”

I shook Dan’s hand and he walked over to the gate with his supplies.
“So are you two coming or what?”

Lovely and I walked up to Dan and closed the gate behind us. They showed me around town but my mind still wondered what was at the end of the path that led behind the hills. Dan and Lovely told me anything and everything about the island…

“This Island was founded by a man named Steve. He comes to us and fixes any major problems we have on the Island but no one’s been able to speak to him at a personal level. Steve has placed people to watch over the Island in his absence. One of whom, goes by the name of Viscosity, and has created games to play after hard work is done.”

“We also have Gym Leaders: Belnumcree of the Boulder Gym, Jhamin of the Forest Gym, Deneves of the Cobble Gym, Cisco of the Fen Gym, Narnad of the Relic Gym, Wicked Rapture of the Mine Gym, Father Goblin of the Icicle Gym and Alirrath of the Beacon Gym. You may challenge any of the gyms whenever you are ready. Also different types of contests are held throughout the year.”

I had no idea there was more to this island than meets the eye and we drew closer to the path that I had fixated on earlier.

“Most of the people on Pokéfarm Island are breeders and live on the island but everyone is here to learn more about the world of Pokémon.”
We turned the corner and walked up the path that led into the hills. I began to feel nervous and excited at once. Further and further up the path we went and I couldn’t wait to see what lay beyond the hills. I had no idea what to expect. Then Lovely spoke…

“I can’t wait to show you mine!”

She said to me with a smile on her face. And I thought to myself my? My what? Then we stopped walking… we had reached the top.

So many farms lay before my eyes! Farms of all different kinds; each farm was designed to fit the trainer and the pokémon they were breeding. All kinds of Pokémon were being bred: larvitar, pichu, lickitung, phanpy, zangoose, starly, and a whole lot more.

“Just take it all in. We’ll go down there and…”

All this was just too much to believe but it was all there, the solution to my problem… and I stayed on the island. Dan had allowed me to stay at his house until I was able to get my own place. I had learned a lot about pokémon on the island the next couple weeks after my arrival. I had even made friends on the island and gotten to know a few people. Gouswer, a friend of mine I had made on the island, had surprised me with his knowledge of pokémon for his age. Deneves was kind enough to share a couple of his breeding projects with me. I’ve always valued his hard work since I had arrived on the island. Gunshin is very knowledgeable but some of his methods are questionable. Wongerman is a talented trainer and is a breeder as well. Lovely is a lot closer to me than the other four, she has been a great help since I had arrived. Her loving and generous nature has won the hearts and the respect of many on the island. I had received unknown messages since I had arrived on Pokéfarm Island but had never really talk to that person… that is until recently.

I had learned much in my brief time on the island and I had begun to start to do some breeding of my own. That is when the unknown stranger made himself known…

One night as I was walking back to Dan’s house a stranger stopped me. I had left Rayo with Lovely and Iggy to help her with a few tasks. And the person spoke…

“Do not worry. I am no stranger to you. I am the one that had been leaving you messages and I wish to speak with you at a personal level.”

I was curious to know who this person was and how he knew who I was.
“Who are you? And how do you know who I am.”

“I have been watching over you ever since you set foot in that bar.”

I was shocked to hear that because I think I had figured out who the shadow on the dock was…

“You were the one watching me in the bar! And the shadowy figure on the dock as I left on the boat, aren’t you?”
“The very same, Angel.”
*:O*
“But why?! What have I done to you? What do you want from me?”
“My name is James but I go by Revelp… I was at the bar as a scout.”
“A scout?”
“Yes. I went to the bar to scout for a person that would be able to assist me with my farm and you just happened to be the perfect candidate.”
“But why me…? I mean there’s plenty of people on the island that would love to be part of a farm.”
“Becauseyouarecompletelyhopeless. So, are you in?”
“WHAT?”
“We’ll start our own farm and make you my partner.”
“But I don’t know the first thing about breeding.”
“There’s nothing to it! And with you under my wing, you’ll be fine."

I looked at him puzzled… He was really eager to start a farm.

“Ok… And where will this “Farm” be?”
“I haven’t quite figured that out. That’s why we go look for one. Off the island!”

I was skeptical but I thought… Hey it’s not like I’m doing anything and this would be a good chance to practice what I had learned on the island.

That was what happened last week. He picked up some housing and property ads to start looking for a in which to have the farm. Our first pick out of the properties available landed us at our first location, a city in Southern California.
The property was marked… The 12th Gate…

[LovelyStrife]

Awesome job! :-D Keep it up, I can't wait to read the next installment. ^_^

Loved my cameo too. :cool: Now Iggy and I are one step closer to taking over the world! Muwahahahha! :-P

[thefuriousangel]

The XII Gate Farms

Our first week on the property in southern California was full of "happenings".

I had left Rayo to finish helping Lovely and Iggy with their project but would soon send pidgeot to pick him up. The first day that we spent the night on the property, I got an eerie feeling about the place. I wasn't sure if James felt the same way. Although, I did notice that when he did sleep, he would completely "knock out". He would be in such a deep sleep that he'd be unaware of what was being done to his face. This was proven through many tests by sharpie mustaches... So I assumed he felt indifferent about the place. He did however sleep with a knife under his pillow... I've been meaning to ask him about that. The next morning, we went down to the electric, water, phone and gas companies to have it all set before we had the furniture and supplies moved in.

I sent my pidgeot with a note to Cesar. On the letter I wrote I apologized for leaving so sudden and asked him if he could ask Alex and Cerda if they could send some strong Pokémon over. We need help with moving stuff in as well as tearing down a couple walls. My pideot came back to me the next morning with good news. So, James and I flew back to Pokéfarm Island for some furniture and supplies James had left behind. Luckily the island transportation unit lent us one of their wailords to help us ferry these things across the sea. James things took a couple days to arrive but arrived in the same condition they left the island, minus all the whale spit. That same morning, I had received a phone call from Cerda. I walked down to the nearest Pokémon Center to receive our help. Daisy, the machamp and her little brother, machop, were sent over by Alex. Cerda sent over his machop and a sandslash as well. I thanked them both and walked back to start our property make over.

We got a lot done that day. We patched a few holes, tore down some walls and redid the huge yard. By the end of the day, there were still some things left to be fixed but all the major reconstruction was finished. My friends' Pokémon stayed a couple days after that to finish the work, help move stuff in and due to lack of sleep. I guess that same eerie feeling I got, was felt by the other Pokémon. James’s sleep however remained uninterrupted. By the end of the week, the furniture and supplies were moved in and the "farm" was completed. I went to the Pokémon center to send back the borrow Pokémon and thanked the guys for lending me their Pokémon. That afternoon, I sent my pideot to pick Rayo up from the Island. I had a phone call the previous night, from Lovely. She had finished her project and thanked me for allowing Rayo to stay and help.

Night came around and I grew nervous. I was afraid of the night on the farm, even though we kept the lights on. The lights helped a little I admit but that same eerie feeling still lingered. Against my better judgment, I brought out my piplup, Neptune. He is still very young but is very calm in all kinds of situations, so I knew he'd be able to handle our current situation. I stayed up late into the night and began to fall asleep with Neptune in my arms. I slept in the same room James slept in, even though he was passed out, three somebodies is better than two somebodies. Suddenly, I felt a cool breeze over the top of my head. I looked up but there was nothing there...I got off the chair to wake James. Just then a shuppet flew into the room, dropped something and flew back out. I shook James but he wouldn't wake up. And then another flew in! And then another! More and more shuppet flew in and more and more items were dropped into a pile.

My last attempt at waking James was a pinch to his leg, which worked but then he rolled over to fall back to sleep. I kept shaking him until he asked me what was wrong. I told him to look behind me and so he did. Behind me floated many shuppet with what I guessed were stolen items. We stayed up all night 'till dawn, watching these Pokémon float into the room and back out. By morning they had all gone and left us two without sleep. I didn't wake Neptune when the whole thing happened because it happened, quietly. That was because James and I would catch the dropped items in mid-air.

A couple hours later James got up, did his morning routine and headed out. He didn't tell me where but when he came back he brought back a lot. Cameras, cords, inputs, outputs and a some drilling later, we had surveillance up and running. That night, James and I hid in another room while we watched the shuppet float in, the same way they had done before. Then we both ran into the room, armed with whatever pokéballs we had and caught eighteen of the thieving shuppet.

We took the pokéballs into the living room to inspect the freshly caught Pokémon. We couldn't very well keep the shuppet because it would cause too much attention and bring the Feds to our front gate. So, last night we decided that they would be sent to Pokéfarm Island and dispersed around the island by holding an event to have each shuppet adopted. I hope the next couple of weeks here are as eventful as this week. It gives us something to do while we decide on a Pokémon to breed. A couple of the shuppet still remain to be adopted. I hope that they find good homes. We weren't able to catch all the shuppet so we still have a couple floating around. I have asked my favorite shuppet, Clyde, to go into the city and bring back something nice. So, that I may raffle it off to the people that have adopted the other shuppet, on Pokéfarm Isle.

On another note: One of the other shuppet, Bonnie, brought a super awesome fishing rod. I'm sure I can put it to good use.

The Finishing Touches

For the past couple of days, we've been putting the finishing touches on the Farm.

Rayo has been a big help since he's gotten back. Although, he did have a little trouble adjusting to having shuppet float around the Farm as we slept. Rayo eventually turned those shuppet into sheep and has been counting them for the past couple of nights, before he goes to sleep. Because he's only been here a couple days, Rayo doesn't know that we only have 7 shuppet floating around the house, but I'm sure he'll find out eventually. I have given my pideot, Angelo, the next couple of days off and gave him permission to fly off on his own to explore the city. Hopefully he'll pick up a map or something to help us navigate through these tall buildings. I had grown more and more concerned about Clyde's whereabouts... So, I sent Bonnie, last night, to go look for him. She hardly sleeps and I'm hoping that her insomnia will help her with her search for Clyde. I pray for Bonnie and Clyde's safe return home or I will have to send out a search party and go out there myself.

The following is a description of the farm and adjustments done to it... We have torn down one side of the house and have built a barn next to it. The barn was built to keep the Pokémon dry, in case of any rainstorms. We have build little rooms and areas within the barn so that the Pokémon can play and rest in that situation. Doorways have also been built so that the Pokémon have access into the house, in case of any nightmares or other little emergencies. One of the bigger rooms in the house has been built into an incubator. The Incubating room will help us a lot with the Pokémon eggs and, of course we had to place a viewing window at the request of my chansey, Consuela(Con-soo-el-ah). Consuela has been placed in charge of the Incubating room. James and I had agreed that the kitchen had to be bigger. So, we tore down the wall behind it and the kitchen was extended into the room behind it. This gave us more space for another fridge, sink, storage, and an island where I could prepare the food. I haven't had any time to fix up my room but there's a lot of prepping to do before we start breeding. I don't think I'm gonna be able to work on my room any time soon. One of the last things to go up was a fence and planted a few berry seeds, for future medicinal use.

Because the Farm was pretty much done and it didn't need a man around the house, James decided to go for a little exploring of his own and has gone into the hills nearby to hike. He took his Pokémon, a lot of pokéballs, his backpack/gear, and of course... his knife. So it pretty much looks like he's gonna be gone for a couple of days... a week the most. I'll send a package of food and supplies with Angelo if he doesn't return by Saturday night. I'm not left entirely alone... Alex's birthday is tomorrow and the guys have planned to have the party here. Rayo is excited about tomorrow since Alex had asked if he could bring his Pokémon and I had okayed. I'm guessing Rayo wants to learn some of Alex's machop's moves.

I've told Consuela about tomorrow and left her to watch Neptune in the bathtub while Rayo, the rest of the shuppet and I fixed up some dinner. I worry about Bonnie and Clyde but I have a feeling that both will return home safely. The super rod remains in my closet, collecting dust. I feel bad for wasting a good rod and allowing it to be forgotten. Hopefully I'll be able to take the group out to fish if there aren't any further delays. On another note... I'm taking the shuppet with me and going down to the basement later tonight to check out the door, that leads into the sewers below. I've been hearing noises coming from down there... I wonder what it is...

[revelp8]

im gone for a week. to the hills huh, i wonder what im going to do there o3o:p

[nana nettie]

Another great installment! :hug: Keep up with it. You've got quite a few fans, myself included. :-D

[thefuriousangel]

A Bump on the Noggin' and a Strange Lady

Last Thursday, after everyone else had gone to sleep, I took the group of shuppet with me... down into the basement and through the door that led into the sewers...

As I walked down the steps that led into the basement, I could already hear the groans coming from behind that door. Past the basement door and through the intricate maze of sewer tunnels, I walked; With my flashlight, my trusty baseball bat and my army of shuppet... I explored every nook and cranny. But still no sign of anything. Then, silence. Nothing but the sound of running water and dropplets hitting the ground as they dripped from the cracks above. We continued to walk in silence until the shuppet and I had hit a dead end. My flashlight started to flicker and then stopped. I had used up the battery in the flashlight. So, I decided we should head home quickly but before we could turn around and walk back...

*Mmmmmuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhh...*

*:O*

THE GROAN! I slowly turned around... and there it was. I couldn't really see it but its eyes glowed in the dark tunnel... I tried to get my flashlight to work but it was no use! The eyes drew closer! It tried to attack the shuppet but the attack had no effect on them, blew through them and hit me... I blacked out.

I vaguely remember anything that happened after that. I just remember being surrounded by James, the pokémon at the farm, and some lady. I thought it was all a dream until I woke up in my bed with a bandage on my head with some cuts a bruises. I ached all over but still in good shape but I couldn't remember anything. Then a voice...

"Ah! You're awake. I was beginning to worry about you. Thank goodness you were found in time."

There, next to my bed, sat a lady in a chair. She had an apron on, her hair was pulled back, she wore glasses and with a warm smile said...

"I do apologize for the rude awakening... James asked me to tell you that he is sorry for leaving you so soon because he had to head right back to his camp. Oh, he also said he'd be back soon."

As she cleaned her glasses, I sat there in my bed. It wasn't a dream...

"But... what..."

"Happened? I'm not exactly sure but according to James you were found by the door in the basement. The shuppet had drug you to the door and alerted the other Pokémon. The Pokémon in turn went to fetch James for help. You are very lucky. James had asked me if I could watch over you while he was away... and here I am. You can call me Nana."

I was still out of it... considering the huge bump on my noggin but was grateful for Nana watching over me. I started to get out of bed when Neptune ran in.

"PIP!"

"Oh... your piplup was worried sick about you all night. I can see that he's certainly glad to see you're alright."

Realizing that James had left the Pokémon in Nana's care, I thanked her as I held the inconsolable piplup in my arms.

"Thank you."

"For what my dear?"

"For watching over me and taking care of my Pokémon."

"My pleasure, my dear. It was no trouble at all."

I leaned over to get out of bed but felt really dizzy all of a sudden and sat back down.

"Oh no. You should rest, my dear. You are in no condition to be doing anything. Now, I helped myself to the kitchen and made you some breakfast. You stay put and I'll bring it to you."

*Nana walks out*

I wasn't about to just sit in bed all day. I had stuff to do and Pokémon to take care of. I got up a second time, without the side effects of my first attempt at standing, and walked out into the kitchen. As soon as I walked in I was bombarded by Pokémon, all glad to see I was doing well. Seeing that I was Ok the Pokémon continued to eat. I pulled up a stool next to the island and sat down with Neptune in my arms.

[thefuriousangel]

The Search

I sat down at the edge of the island, comforting Neptune, when Nana turned around. With a frown on her face, as if to say I thought I told you to stay in bed, she handed me a plate.

*THUD!*

There was a loud thud that came from the roof.

"Oh, your uhh... pideot. I sent it and your raichu, to run a couple errands for me.They were also worried about you.Your pidgeot and raichu were the ones that went to fetch James and I."

She placed a couple pancakes on my plate and handed me some orange juice. As I ate Angelo flew down next to the sliding glass window with Rayo on his back. I greeted Rayo with kisses and hugs, then walked over to Angelo. I had them to thank for my still being here, minus the bump on the noggin and some bruises. I started feeling better by the end of the day but when I started to get better, I started feeling a whole lot worse. I had remembered that my shuppet, Bonnie and Clyde were still haven't returned home. That night I split the pokémon up into 3's and set out into the city to find Bonnie and Clyde.

We had searched for an hour before we found both of them in an alley. We found Bonnie first then she led us to Clyde, who had something with him but was to small to get a hold of. Both of them were tired and dirty. I snatched up Bonnie, Consuela took Clyde, and Nana grabbed it. When we got home, I had Consuela run a bath for Bonnie and Clyde. Nana and I stood over the thing in the kitchen.

"So... what do you think it is?"

*Nana pokes it*
"I'm not sure, dear. It's not a rare candy that's for sure."

We couldn't quite figure it out what it was. Then it moved!

*Both jump back*

"Oh my God!"

"Did you see it..."

"Yeah."

We moved closer to get another look and two eyes popped out from all that dirt. The critter could barely move. Nana picked it up and placed it in the sink to wash off whatever dirt she could. The thing didn't seem agitated by it so Nana continued to rinse. As she rinsed the thing began to look like something... it was a meowth!

*Nana continues to rinse the meowth*
"The poor thing must've been out there a while. It's got a couple cuts and bruises and its fur is matted... it's gonna need some care."

I had never rehabilitated a pokémon and had asked Nana if she could stay a little longer. At least until the meowth gets better.

*Nana smiles*
"Of course I will but I am gonna need my friends help if you don't mind."

I told her that I didn't and that anyone who is a friend of Nana is a friend of mine. She called up her friend last night and told me that she would be here by Sunday and apologized for not being here sooner. I thanked Nana again for staying, scooped up Rayo and Neptune and went to bed. As I lay in my bed, I could see the kitchen light on... Nana must've stayed up watching over the meowth.

[revelp8]

yay! nana is in the story! camp? nice...what exactly am i doing there? :p

[nana nettie]

Oh Ms. Angel :hug: I feel so honored to be a part of your story, and it is such a lovely story :) I felt a little teary eyed ;)

Again, another wonderful addition :applaud:

[thefuriousangel]

The Lovely Ladies and the Abandoned

Friday night rolled into Saturday and Saturday into Sunday and my head was still wrapped in bandages...

That morning, I walked into the bathroom to begin my morning routine of cleaning and dressing the wound on my head. Consuela walked in after and so did Neptune and Rayo. I turned on the boombox to KROQ, my favorite radio station, to listen to some tunage while I changed my bandages. I had Rayo take Neptune out of the bathroom, so that he wouldn't see any blood, and had Consuela help me dress the huge gash on my head. While she bandaged my head, I cleaned some of my scrapes and made sure they were healing properly. Nothing a little neosporin couldn't fix. As Consuela was finishing up, I heard a knock at the front door. Rayo of course was the first one there to greet whomever was at the door. I could hear the warm hellos being exchange. It had to be Nana's friend. Consuela had finished up bandaging my head so I went out to greet my guest. The lady seemed like a respectable citizen. She wore her blonde hair down. A clean and nice looking lady, much like Nana. As I walked up she smiled. So, I began my greetings...

"Hi. Welcome to 12th Gate Farms. These are my Pokémon, Neptune, Rayo, Consuela, Bonnie, Clyde, and the rest of the shuppet. I'm sure you saw my pidgeot, Angelo, on the roof and I'm Jenny... friends call me Angel."

"Many thanks for allowing me to stay at your farm, Ms. Angel. Friends call me Momtaro. May I ask what happened to your head?"

I touched my head... even thinking about the incident made my head ache.

"It's a long story. I'll tell you about it later but please, make yourself at home. You may take the guest room next to Nana's, down the hall and to the left. My chansey, Consuela, will help you with your bags."

"Oh, no thank you Ms. Angel. I can carry the bags myself... but if she could help me find my room, I'd be very much obliged."

Momtaro thanked me again, as she picked up her bags and followed Consuela down the hallway. I went to sit down at the island and Nana walked over. She told me that they had known each other for a while and that Momtaro was great with Pokémon. I sure hoped that both these awesome ladies would work their magic on the meowth that lay by the fire place, still hurt. After she had finished unpacking, Momtaro came back out and asked where the meowth was. Nana got up to show her.

"Oh my goodness... How long has it been this way?"

*Nana walks over to Momtaro who is standing over the meowth in the living room*
"We're not sure... we found it when we went out to look for Angel's shuppet. It has a collar but no address or a name. It also has something clutched in its paws but we haven't been able to pry it from it. So, we just left that alone."

*Momtaro picks up the meowth*
"Well... let's get to it."

She moved everything aside and set the meowth on the island. I fetched some sheers from the closet for Momtaro. She carefully shaved off the meowth's matted fur and as she did Nana ran some warm water in the sink. After Momtaro was done, she picked up the meowth and placed him in the warm water, to rinse off any fur that might have gotten into any of its wounds. I had a towel ready with some antiseptic, gauze, medical scissors, the works. I sat by as both Nana and Momtaro worked on the meowth. It wasn't anything major but a couple of bandages and some stitches around its neck, where it's collar was. The details of the meowth's injuries were a little too gruesome and refuse to repeat such details. Then the ladies finished their work...

*Momtaro wraps meowth in a blanket and lays it back down near the fireplace*
"The meowth it fine but we will need to keep an eye on it so that it doesn't try to pull the bandages off. This meowth has been through a lot. Have you found its owners?"

"We haven't tried to find them. I mean we would have, but the meowth was in too poor of a condition to post any pictures up. We will start putting up posters by tomorrow."

I woke up the next morning with Neptune pecking at my face. I had overslept... 'till about 12pm! But the rest did me good considering the excitement happening at the farm. I felt a whole lot better than I did the day before and my head wasn't hurting as much. I got dressed, picked up Neptune and headed out into the bathroom to have my head dressed. I didn't really want to wear the bandage since I felt a whole lot better but both Consuela and Nana insisted that I wear it.

*Momtaro walks in to pick up Neptune*
"Better safe than sorry."

After my morning ritual I went to the living room to check on the meowth. It still lay there, asleep, and wrapped up like a mummy.

"Its best if it gets its rest or it won't recover. I wish there was some way to help it along. It's heartbreaking to see a Pokémon like this."

Momtaro and Nana went out on the patio and it hit me.

"ALFRED!"

I swiped up the meowth and wrapped it in a blanket. I left Nana and Momtaro a note:

Ladies,
I'm sorry to leave in such a rush but I took Momtaro's wish into consideration. I have gone to my hometown to have the meowth taken care of. I will be back by tonight. And if you would please watch over my Pokémon while I'm away, I would be most grateful.

- Angel

So, off I flew on Angelo's back to the O.C., my home town. I held the meowth close as we flew. When we got to the Miltank Bar, it was as if Alfred already knew I was coming. I had Angelo wait outside and walked past the machop into the bar. Alfred, as usual, took the meowth into the back. A couple minutes turned into an hour when Alfred came back out with the meowth. It was asleep in his arms when he handed it over to me. He handed me a bag as well.

"I have placed some of my medicine in that bag. Make sure you give the meowth a vile every 3 hours. Let me know how it is doing in a couple of days, ok? Thank you for bringing it to me."

I thanked Alfred as I slung the bag over my shoulder.

"My pleasure, Angel. Don't forget. Every 3 hours and make sure you let me know how it's doing."

I waved goodbye, hopped up on Angelo, and headed back to the farm.

[Momtaro]

Not only such a great story, but Momtaro gets to help the poor little meowth? :) Oh, I am so very touched! *tissue, please?*:( :-D
Please keep up the great fiction! You have a rare talent for words and your story is absolutely wonderful! (and *sniffle* thanks!) :)

[nana nettie]

Another great chapter :) I look forward to the next one :)

[thefuriousangel]

James: The Char-Lizard King!

As Angelo flew towards the farm, I noticed little lights all over the yard but as we got closer, the lights turned into flames...

I had Angelo fly over the yard to get a closer look. The yard was filled with Pokémon and little patches of fire. James must have returned from his trip because I saw him among the Pokémon. He, Nana, and Momtaro, all had fire extinguishers at hand and were running around. Angelo flew back over and dropped me off by the front door. I ran inside the house and placed the meowth on the couch. I made my way towards the sliding glass door when I was approached by Consuela. She insisted that I follow her but I couldn't keep my eyes off what was going on outside. I wound up following Consuela. She had led me into the Incubating room where at least a dozen eggs lay. I ran back and outside to help James and the others but they didn't seem to be in need of any help. In soot and burnt clothing, James approached me...

"Look I know were partners and all but I couldn't resist this opportunity. I had read in the papers, before we got here, that there had been fires in the inland area. So, I grabbed some pokéballs and went to investigate. I found a couple of wild charizard and with some time and effort, I captured and tamed them. I saw that they were special and brought back their offspring as well as the rest of the eggs. I've had Nana and Momtaro help me with taming the younger ones. Well not so much taming as getting used to people. So, uh. How you been? I'm sorry I couldn't stick around..."

*hug*

"I'm good. Still hurty and bandaged but good."

"HOLY!"
*James puts out fire started next to him with extinguisher*
"Um...You were saying...?"

"Remember I told you that I was gonna send out a shuppet to pick up something in the city..?"

"Yeah, yeah. Um... to raffle it off to the people that adopted our shuppet. I member..."
*continues to extinguish other fires*

"Well... I had sent out Clyde. Then I sent out Bonnie when Clyde didn't return. I grew worried and went to look for them and when we found them, they had something with them... and its not an item."

"It's not a kid is it? I mean I like kids an' all but not when they're kidnapped..."

"No! No! It's not like that. They had a meowth with them. It was injured when we found them... and its still in pretty bad shape."

"Just give it some time. Meowth are pretty resilient when it comes to survival and with the help of that medicine Alfred gave you, it should be back to itself in no time."

"Ok. But wait. How did you know I have medicine with me?"

*James starts to walk off to extinguish another fire*
"Look at you bag!"

*Bag reads: Property of Alfred: Medicine Bag*

Feeling stupid, I went back inside to give the meowth its medicine and placed a whiteboard calendar on the fridge to keep track of its medicine times. I went back outside to check in with Nana and Momtaro, to let them know that I was back with the meowth and some medicine. Feeling a little dizzy, I sat on a bench on the back porch and watched everyone run around after the charmander. I watched as Neptune grew frustrated over the fact that he couldn't help. He practiced his Bubble move on a few embers but they would pop as soon as the bubble would get near them. After about 15 minutes, He grew tired and came to sit with me.

That hot sunday night turned into a cool Monday morning. The charmander began to settle down and obey James' commands. The meowth was also doing well and began to eat. And I had no bandage on my head... it still hurt a little though. James, Nana, Momtaro and I have been preparing for tomorrows event. I have sent Angelo over to Pokéfarm Island, with a letter addressed to Steve and everyone else on the Island about our charmander event. I hope to see everyone out tomorrow for this event and wish each charmander a happy home.

[thefuriousangel]

Ghosts, Luck, Fish and Fire

I keep hearing the strange noises below but I am afraid to venture down there again...

The gash on my head had healed completely but still a little tender. I don't think I'll be going down there anytime soon. Although I think my curiosity will get the best of me in the long run. The shuppet event on the island went well. The shuppet that weren't adopted were brought back to the farm. So, now we have more ghosts to keep an eye on and more for Rayo to count. It was a good thing we fire proofed the house and barn when we made improvements on it. Things were hectic around the farm with all those charmander running around. The last of the eggs have hatched. There are less of them but that didn't mean we should let our guard down. The charmander had melted the front gate and reshaped it. It now reads "Char-Char Farms" with two outlines of charmanders. Luckily, I had managed to befriend one the the charmander. I had it help me with restoring the gate back to the way it was.

Momtaro and Nana were a big help around the farm for the last couple of days. Seeing how good the farm was doing and the meowth's progress... they went back to Pokéfarm Island. The meowth made an awesome recovery. Even though we had put up signs about it, no one had come to claim it. So, James and I made a few calls and found someone that would take the meowth in. Rayfox-Kun, will be here shortly to pick up the meowth. The meowth is lucky to get adopted by a great trainer. I know she will be taken to a good home.

We're heading out to the pier to do some fishing for two reasons. One, because the fish are more likely to bite at sun down. Two, because there are less people to be terrorized by the charmander. I sure hope they behave themselves. James has authority over them but we've never taken them outside the gates. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

"Raaai?"

"What is it Rayo?"

"Rai-Raichu-Rai-Rai?"

"Crossing fingers?"

"Chu."

"Ohhh... People do it for good luck and hope bad stuff doesn't happen."

"Chuuu..."
*Rayo walks out of the room trying to cross its fingers*

I believe Rayo will be attempting this for a while. So, I'll just leave him alone. I think I will attempt to go back down tomorrow... I was right. Curiosity has gotten the best of me... but for now, I'll just focus on the fish and the fire.

[thefuriousangel]

Something's Here!

Dear Pokéfarm Island,

I apologize for not keeping all of you updated. We are in a state of emergency here at the farm. So, I must be brief...

Something has found it's way into the basement and into the house. Our electricity is out. We don't know what it is but it does smell a lot, as if it had brought the sewers with it. None of our pokémon's attacks seem to be working. We have managed to hold it off for a while but we don't know how much longer we can last. I have managed to get this note onto my pidgeot, Angelo. We ask that any of you willing to help us out with our current situation, to attach a note to Angelo!

and please...

HURRY!

[Seaer]

I don't know if the "note" was rhetorical or not... But anyhow, I'm willing to help. How may I be of assistance?

*inaudible speech*

http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a139/acousticrocker87/wakingup1.jpg

*thinking*
Wha...
What am I doing in bed?
Was that just a dream...?
It can't be...
I must've fallen asleep in the closet...
This must be a dream...

[thefuriousangel]

Out of the Ashes.
Thought you had heard the last of me, huh.
Welp.
It went down like this...

After hours of riding high in the clouds I knew we just had to be there...

"I'm sure we're getting close to the destination, Angelo. Do you mind swoopin' down to get a closer look at the land?"

"Pidgeot!"

Angelo was always very well behaved and well-mannered. I raised him right, I guess.

"Hahahahaha... Alright. Alright. Pleeeeease?"

Upon hearing the magic word, Angelo descended below the clouds so that we would be able to scout for our destination. As we descended the lay of the land became clear. The view was amazing! I guess Texas was a bit different that I had imagined. I knew we were close to our destination so I decided to let my newly aquired Pidgey named Sheena. She had lots of spunk. I knew she'd be a good scout since she was very observant and full of energy.

"Sheena!"

*Sheena pops out of her pokéball and perches on my arm*

"Hiya girl! Time to stretch those wings. Help us find Crymzon Fury Farms!"

As I watched her fly off, I couldn't help but think about the endless possibilities that awaited me at the new farm. I reached into my pocket to retrieve at letter. I had received this letter not to long ago. It was from my good friend, Don. He wrote that he had learned all he could from helping out at Fields of Silence and that he wanted to run his own farm. I jumped at the chance to help a fellow breeder out and was on the next flight out! Part of me wished to go back to XII Gate but I knew that Jimmy was capable of handling the farm by himself. There were still a few miles left till we got to the farm. So I began think about all the pokémon that I was gonna get to breed...

*smack smack*

"Hey! Angel! Hellooooo..."

"Hmmm... Huh?! What?! Ahhhhh!"

*falls off Angelo*

"Oof!"

"Hahahaha! Daydreaming again. Eh, Angel? Let me help you up"

I was so into my daydream that I hadn't noticed that we had arrived at Crymzon Fury Farms. I knew that voice but couldn't tell who it was by looking up. The stranger helped me up and out of the glare of the sun came a familiar face. It was my dear friend. I had gotten to know him quite well on Pokéfarm Island. Don, had recruited him off the island as a farmhand. His extensive knowledge of pokemon battle would help immensely in the breeding of pokémon. It had been a while since I had last spoken to him and was very glad to see him. So I did what any excited girl would do...

SQUEE!

"Adam!"

I gave Adam a huge hug!

"Hehe. Thought you had gotten rid of me huh."

"Ahahaha! I guess I should try harder. So you're the farmhand Don mentioned. When'd you get here?! How's your brother?"

"What is this? 20 questions? Haha. Yeah. I'm Don's farmhand. I figured if I wanted a new team... what better way than by learning from a pokémon breeder. I got here not too long ago to help Don around the farm. It needed a lot of work. And as for my brother... he's on the Island. He's alright. His frequent PC calls are getting annoying though. He's always got his eye on me. As if I couldn't take care of myself. Ugh. Anyway he's got his own gym now and runs his own farm. So, in short, he's just peachy. But I'm fine! Thanks for asking."

"Ah! I'm sorry! How've you been?!"

"Good."

"Just good?"

"Well, if you'd really like to know. I'm sitting on millions of dollars as the Don of a gang called Skarm's Talon. I have many followers and have taken out anyone who opposes me. My plan... World Domination!"

"Haha... very funny."

"Oh right... funny..."

As I watched Adam speak into his watch. I began to reminisce about all the good times we had on the Island. Then... out of nowhere...

"Angel!"

"Don!"

I had forgotten how Ursaring-like his hugs were... I missed them.

"Welcome to Crymzon Fury Farms!"
