Chapter 11
Chapter 11 A Wacky Halloween Night
"How do you like the Halloween costume?" Jewel said walking into the Pokémon Center.
"Its good," I said surprised that right after we got off the ship she wanted to go get a Halloween costume.
"I'd just love to capture a Clefairy," she said putting on the Clefairy mask.
"Where is your costume?" she asked.
"Well I didn't have enough money to get one because I bought Chikorita one," I said picking Chikorita up and showing her to Jewel.
"She looks like a human," Jewel said petting her on the head, Chikorita opened her mouth and bit Jewel's finger.
"Oww," she said.
"Chikorita be nice," I said.
^I was just acting like a human^ she said.
"Guys look at my costume," he said appearing from the back wearing a blue shirt and short pants that were also blue and a net.
"Who are you suppose to be?" I asked.
"Bugsy the bug gym leader in the Johto League," he said.
"Okay," I said putting Chikorita down.
"Lets go!" Keith said walking out the Pokémon Center.
We walked for a long time getting candy during the nighttime treat or treating (Keith insisted we did) until we reached this store.
"Witches Dream," the sign said.
"Lets go inside there must be a lot of candy in there," Keith said looking at his net full of candy.
"Okay," I said following him inside.
^I will never understand Keith^ Chikorita said.
"I don't think anyone will," Jewel said.
"Hello and welcome to Witches Dream what spell could I get for you?" an old short lady said.
"Yeah right spells," Keith said laughing.
"Don't listen to my friend here," Jewel said. "He just wants candy."
"Well you better buy a spell there only good during Halloween and only 6 more hours till midnight," she said.
"We all know spells aren't real and they don't work," Keith said.
"But they do and they only work on Halloween," the old lady said.
"I don't think-" Keith said.
"Don't think! That's your strong suit," Jewel interrupted. "We will just be leaving now."
"Leaving, but we haven't caused any new trouble," Melissa said.
"Make that double because we want something subtle," Matthew said.
"To cast some spells to make us stronger."
"To make sure the spells last longer."
"Melissa."
"Matthew."
"Team Rocket scaring up Gastlys at the speed of light."
"I like the sound of that ghost so prepare to fight."
"We're the spookiest at night."
"What are you two doing here?" I yelled.
"Yeah isn't it a little to early in the chapter to be attacking?" Keith said.
"We saw you two go into this store and decided to get us a spell to kill you," Melissa yelled.
"Right so can we get the spell?" Matthew said asking the lady.
"We don't ask we take!" Melissa said going to the back of the counter.
"Stop now!" the old lady yelled.
"What are you going to do about it?" Melissa said throwing a Pokéball.
"Arcanine," her Pokémon yelled jumping at the women.
"Lady look out!" Jewel yelled.
The old lady just stood there and reached into her pocket pulled out some dust and threw it into the Pokémon face.
"AR," it cried in pain as it tried to rub the stuff off.
"I will help," Matthew said throwing his Pokéball.
"Primeape," the Pokémon yelled.
"Not if I can help it Chikorita go!" I yelled.
Chikorita attacked first hitting Primeape with tackle but the Pokémon fought back hitting Chikorita with a Mega Punch sending the Pokémon flying into the old lady the pouch in her pocket flew out and dust fell everywhere over everyone.
"What," I heard Melissa yell. I turned around to see here pick up a Growlithe.
"Arcanine you're a Growlithe again," Melissa said giggling because Growlithe licked her face.
"Primeape lets…" Matthew started to say. I turned around to see him pick up a Mankey.
"Your Pokémon devolved," Keith, said surprised.
"They're so cute," Jewel said.
"CUTE!!! How are we suppose to win with cute?" Melissa said.
"Chikorita! Get rid of them with Vine Whip!" I yelled.
"Chiko," she yelled shooting out her vines and knocking Team Rocket out the front door.
"Wow magic is real!" Keith yelled. "Maybe she made all the Nurse Joys and Officer Jennies look alike!"
"You okay lady," I said helping her up.
"GET OUT OF MY STORE!!!!!!!!" she yelled.
"Ahh!!!" was all we yelled as we ran out of the store.
After we had run 5 minutes straight without stopping we decided to stop.
"Ahh," Keith said falling flat on his face.
"I can't run anymore," Jewel said falling down.
"Me…neither," I said sitting down.
^There is lake around here I am going to look^ Chikorita said leaving.
"This is the worst Halloween ever," Jewel said.
"I know," Keith said.
"Well I don't know," I said.
"Hey where did all my candy go?" Keith said his voice sounding different.
"What?" I said surprised at the different voice.
"Keith are you okay?" Jewel said.
"Yeah why do you say that?" he said, and yes his voice was really different.
"Keith your voice is different," Jewel said.
"It is?" he said.
"Yeah and Clef Cle fairy," Jewel said.
"What?" I said surprised again.
"Did she just speak Pokémon?" Keith said in that different voice.
This was really started to freak me out then I heard a scream.
"Chikorita!" I said taking off in the direction that my Pokémon went. But when I got to the lake I didn't see Chikorita all I saw was a girl with long green hair bent over the pond looking at herself.
"Excuse," I said. "But have you seen my Chikorita.
She looked at me her eyes were red in color and they looked familiar.
"Do I know you?" I said.
She looked at me then started to form some words. "It's…me…Chikorita."
"What?!" I said really freak out now.
She tried to stand up but fell down.
"Let me help you," I said helping her up.
"I…turn…to…human!" she said.
"Yeah," I said recognizing the cloths I had bought for her but they were bigger.
"We…need to…find…why?" she said.
"Yes but first you have to learn to walk," I said. "It's easy you just put on foot in front of the other."
She took her first step like a baby hold on to me then she let go and took another.
"Wow you're a fast learner," I said.
It took her a good five minutes to get the hand of walking and talking.
"But how can I be a human," she said looking into the water.
"I don't know," I said then remembering Keith and Jewel. "Ohh no Keith and Jewel!"
"Keith and Jewel?" she said.
"Follow me," I said running towards where Keith and Jewel where. I left Chikorita in the dust because she didn't know how to run but when I got back to where Keith and Jewel where they weren't there.
"Where did they go?" I said.
"Chris," Chikorita said coming out of the bushes looking scared. "Don't leave me alone," she said grabbing on to my hand and holding it tight.
"I forgot," I said.
"Where are they?" she said twirling her long green hair.
"I don't know?" I said. "Maybe they went back to the city?"
"Why did this happen to me?" she said.
"I don't know," I said. "But I'm going to find out. Lets head back to town."
"Okay," she said following me never letting go of my hand.
We were almost to town when a kid appeared out of the bushes and bumped into me.
"Excuse me but I don't know how I got here and-"
"Keith!" I said looking at the guy but he was smaller in size, he was dressed like Keith was supposed to be for Halloween.
"Keith was dressed like that for Halloween and-" before Chikorita could finish her sentence Keith/ Bugsy took off towards the city.
"Wait!" I yelled starting to run after him then realizing Chikorita couldn't. "We have to figure out what is going on around here?"
"I know?" Chikorita said then adding, "I don't want to be a human."
"Don't worry I will figure out something lets head back to Vermillion City."
We stared to make our way back to the city when a Pokémon ran out of the bushes.
"Hey isn't that a clefairy," I said surprised to see one all the way out here.
"Cle clef clefairy," the Pokémon screamed its name like crazy.
"Normally when a Clefairy sees a human it takes off running," Chikorita said.
"Yeah," then I remembered that Jewel was dressed as a Clefairy. "You don't think that?"
"Clef," the Pokémon said.
"It is Jewel!" Chikorita said surprised.
"But how?" I said.
"Clef clefairy fairy," Jewel said.
"She said that why are you surprised I turned to a human she turns into a Pokémon and you're surprised?" Chikorita said translating.
I turned on my translator. "Jewel what is going on?"
^I don't know^ she said. ^I felt funny so I sat down then all of a sudden I started to shrink then I was a Clefairy. ^
"What about Keith?" I asked.
^I wasn't use to being a Pokémon but what blur I could make out of him he took off. ^
"We need to head back to Vermillion City and find him!" I said picking Jewel up.
We headed back to Vermillion City and started looking for Keith but we couldn't find him anywhere.
"There has got to be a way to find him?" I said.
"How about you use Shadow!" Chikorita said. "It's radar eyes should help."
^Good idea, Chikorita if you where a human you would make a good trainer. ^ Jewel said.
"Okay go Shadow!" I threw his Pokéball.
^Yes? ^ The bug Pokémon said.
"Find Keith using your radar eyes!" I said.
^Is that a new Pokémon you captured Chris? ^ He said ignoring my order and looking at Jewel.
"No!" I said.
^Who is the girl? ^ He said looking a Chikorita. ^She looks familiar…^
"It's me Chikorita! I got turned into a human!"
^And I am Jewel I got turned into a Pokémon. ^
^I can tell ^ Shadow said.
"And Keith got turned into Bugsy," I said. I then continued to describe how Bugsy look to help Shadow; before we knew it we had found Keith/Bugsy he was in an alley battling a trainer.
"Pinsir finish it off with Vicegrip!" Keith yelled in that Bugsy voice.
"Pin!" the Pokémon yelled using its pincers to knock out a Raticate.
"Keith!" I yelled he didn't respond.
"Man I thought I could win a Hivebadge," the kid said calling back his Pokémon and leaving the alley.
^He won't answer to that! ^ Jewel said.
"Bugsy! I challenge you to a Pokémon match!" Chikorita said stepping forward. "I have always wanted to do that," she added.
"Fine one on one," he said. "And what is your name?" he added.
"Just call me Rita," Chikorita said.
"What is she doing?" I asked.
^I think she is enjoying being a human? ^ Jewel said.
"But she doesn't have a Pokémon," I said.
"Shadow Tackle!" she yelled and Shadow listen tackling Pinsir.
"Shadow what are you doing?" I said.
"Pinsir Vicegrip!"
Pinsir went to grab Shadow in its claws but it jumped over the Pokémon and use Sleep Powder but not on Pinsir on Keith putting him to sleep. Chikorita then took Pinsir's Pokéball off Keith's belt and called back his Pokémon.
"Wow!" I said surprised at both Shadow and Chikorita.
^I was right…^Jewel said smiling.
"Now that everyone is here we need to figure out what happen," I said.
^I don't want to be a Pokémon forever! ^ Jewel said.
"Neither do I!" Chikorita said. "A human that is," she added after an awkward pause.
"It has to be that old lady!" I said.
^Yeah I remembered how she used that white powder to make Team Rockets Pokémon devolve^ Jewel said.
"Yeah but that still doesn't explain why you guys turned to something and I didn't," I said.
"That's not important," Chikorita said suddenly. "Remember she said that the magic on works on Halloween?"
"Yeah…"
"Well if we don't get changed back we will be stuck like this until next Halloween!" Chikorita said.
^She is smart! ^ Jewel said.
"Its 11:04," I said looking at my Pokégear.
"We need to get there now!" Chikorita yelled.
It took us longer than I thought because I had to carry Keith all the way to the store. Luckily he was smaller in his normal body.
We got to the front of the store at 11:33 less than half an hour till the end of Halloween.
"Wha…wha is…" it was Keith starting to wake up as we walked inside the store.
"Hello," Chikorita called out.
We heard some footsteps then all of a sudden a net fell on top of us.
"Ah…Prepare for trouble because were back for more," Melissa said stepping out of the shadows.
"Make it double this Halloween is a bore," Matthew said.
"What are you doing here?" I asked yelling.
"We came here to get the lady to turn our Pokémon back but she wouldn't," Melissa said turning around a chair with the old lady tied to it.
"Let her go!" I yelled trying to get out of the net.
"You think we are going to do that?" Matthew said.
"HYA," Keith yelled waking up.
"Keith!" I said.
"Whose Keith?" he said looking at me.
"Time to burn some losers," Melissa said pulling out her Pokéball and out popped Growlithe. "Flamethrower them!"
"Grow," the Pokémon said getting ready to use the attack.
"I guess this is the end," Chikorita said.
"Not if I can help it," Keith said pulling out a Pokéball and releasing his Pokémon. "Cut!" he yelled.
"Pinsir," the Pokémon yelled as it used its claws to cut the net but as it did that Growlithe released its Flamethrower Pinsir bravely took the attack on getting burn and fainting.
"We're free," Chikorita said getting out of the net.
"Not on my watch," Matthew said throwing his Pokéball and out popped his Mankey.
"Low Kick," he yelled.
"Key," the Pokémon said trying to Low Kick Chikorita but she jumped out of the way.
^She adapt real fast^ Jewel said.
"What? Matthew said angrily. "Mankey Karate Chop."
Jewel hopped over to the old lady and untied her.
"Thank you," she said.
Mankey went to chop Chikorita but she moved out of the way and Kicked Mankey send the Pokémon flying into Matthew and Melissa who caught the Pokémon.
"ARRGGGHH…Growlithe Flamethrower attack!" Melissa yelled.
"STOP!" the old lady yelled as she threw some green dust at Team Rocket.
"I can't move," Melissa yelled.
"Neither can I," Matthew said.
"Good. Rhy go and Body Slam Team Rocket away!" I yelled throwing Rhy's Pokéball.
^Yo Rockets catch you on the flip side^ he yelled as he Body Slam Team Rocket sending them flying away.
"Woooohooo!" I said running up to Chikorita and giving her a huge. I glanced at my watch 11:56. "Ahh," I yelled.
"I know there is a spell on you," the lady said.
"What spell?" Keith said. "All I need is someone to escort me back to Johto."
The lady then went to the back and came out with some powder she poured some on Keith, Jewel, and Chikorita; they started to glow and changed back.
"What happen?" Keith said utterly confused.
"I'm back to being me!" Jewel said happily.
^But how come Chris didn't change? ^Chikorita said admiring herself in a mirror that was on the floor.
"Because he was dressed as himself," the lady said. "Each one of you were dressed as something or someone else so the magic did the rest."
"Wow so I was Bugsy?" Keith said.
"Too bad you can't remember," Jewel said with a smile on her face. That was when I decide to ask her. It was the perfect time no Team Rocket anyone coming to mess it up.
"Jewel will you go out with me?" I asked right then and there. She looked into my eyes for what seemed like forever until she answered…
"Yes."
