Satoshi Jekyll
ch. 1 - Welcome to the S. S. Raquaza
Here's the next part of my story. Mysteries and laughs await.
After a while, Satoshi sighed in relief. The research ship was out of Kanto and was moving to someplace else. Satoshi was still on the deck, looking at the sea. He never been on a moving ship before, and it was a little sea sickening. Barry was next to Satoshi as he smiled. "Don't worry, you'll get over it," Barry said to the boy. Soon Satoshi emptied out his stomach. Barry felt like the boy could begin walking again. "Well, I guess it's time to show you around," Berry said. Soon Barry went into the boat. Satoshi slowly began fallowing Berry. "So, wh..what will I... do?" Satoshi asked once he was safely inside the ship, he was nervous about this. He had never been on boat like this where people expect him to do physical work. "Well... what can you do?" Barry asked, "Do you know how to cook?" "No," Satoshi replied. "Can you tie a rope, raise a sail, or throw an anchor?" Barry asked. Satoshi looked down. "No. ...I'm not that good with physical labor," Satoshi replied. Barry held his chin. "Can you carry plates around?" Barry asked. Satoshi thought for a moment. "I've never tried," He said. Barry smiled. "Well, let's get you to the kitchen," He said. Barry soon grabbed Satoshi by the wrist and ran down the hallway. Satoshi was surprised by this. After a while of navigation, they reached the kitchen. It was big with many chefs and waiters walking around. Barry stopped in front of an old chief that looked very experienced. The cook was a large man wearing a blue striped shirt. "Hey, chief Bellrock. My friend Satoshi wants to be a delivery boy. Could he do it?" Barry asked. The man looked at the black haired boy. Satoshi became scarred. "He looks a bit too wobbly to do so," The large man said. Satoshi soon calmed down and stood in front of the man. "No... I think I c-can," Satoshi said his voice shaky at best. Bellrock looks at him. "I'll have a practice run on ya. If you can carry these plates to room 42 without spilling it, then ya got the job," Bellrock said, giving Satoshi three plates of spaghetti. Satoshi nodded. He slowly grabs them and carries the plates. He slowly walks out of the room, then turns to Barry. "Um... where's that?" Satoshi asked. Barry sighed. "I'll help him out on the rooms. Don't worry. We're not going to cheat," Berry said. Satoshi nodded. They soon got out of the kitchen.

Barry soon began to talk. "So... what's your dream?" Barry asked. Satoshi looks at him, carefully holding the plates. He wasn't used to doing what the servants did. "My..my dream?" Satoshi asked in confusion. Barry nodded. "Well... I want to help humans and Pokemon around the world. I want to be a... a doctor. I... want to be big and have my family name known everywhere. But most of all, I want to split the human mind so it's pure and good. I guess that's my biggest dream of all," Satoshi said. Barry nodded. "Wow, that sounds cool. So what's it like being rich? I bet you get lots of cool things," Barry said, excited. Satoshi looked away. "Yeah... right..." He said kind of sad. Barry notices this. "Hey is something wrong?" Barry asked. "Well... my parents are too high strung for me to like them, and it's hard for me to follow their rules... All nice things they give me don't make up for all the times they've left me alone, or hurt me when I did something...'wicked' according to them... I...I hate my father," Satoshi said. Barry was shocked. "Wow. I didn't know that. There aren't a lot of people on this ship with that kind of strain on their family. But the again, there aren't many rich boys on this ship," Barry said. Satoshi sighed. "So what's your dream?" Satoshi asked, they soon made a turn down the hallway. Barry smiles. "I want to be a Pokemon master, but my dad wants me in politics. Thankfully I was able to convince him to send me on this trip so I can learn more about the world. He thinks it all for learning different policicianal stuff, but it's actually my plan to see the other countries and decide which one I want to go to, and what I want to see." Barry said. Satoshi looks at him. "So... you hate your father like how I hate my father?" Satoshi asked. Barry looks at him like he was nuts. "What? No. Just because he wants me to be in politics doesn't mean I automatically hate him. He's actually really cool guy that I admire. Plus if I show him how good my travelings are, I can convince him for me to follow my dream," Barry said excited. Satoshi smiles. Then looks down. "I... I wish I could do be a traveler as well," Satoshi said. Barry looks at him. "But I thought you wanted to be a doctor, and doctors don't go on adventures," Barry said. Satoshi sighed. He looks up. "I want to be a doctor...but I... I also want adventures. I want to explore the world. But... by my rules. I don't want to be on ship where I could be pushed aside by someone stronger. I want to be on the land or in the sky where I can roam with other people I like. I could be free to do anything. I could battle. I could..." Satoshi said as he turns a corner, but he loses his balance.

".. wahh. WAhh!" He yelled as he closed his eyes and fell. Soon the food falls over onto the ground. He opens his auburn eyes and sees the food on the floor. "DAMN IT!" He yelled. He gets up, grinning his teeth. "AUGH!" He screams in frustration as he gets up. "I'm just not good in stuff like this!" Satoshi screams. He wanted to punch something. Barry sighs. "I'll get a mop," He said. Satoshi looked around. "Wait... I don't know where my room is. You haven't told me," Satoshi said, following Barry. After getting the mops, the two were cleaning up their mess. "Your not that good at this stuff. I guess being a rich boy has spoiled you," Barry said, then laughed. Satoshi glares at Barry. Berry soon stopped and felt paralyzed. "Wow... that's one scary glare," Barry noticed, still paralyzed. Satoshi soon stopped. "Really? I...haven't really done something like this since I tried to stand up to my dad. But... he wasn't fazed by it," Satoshi said, softening his eyes which freed the sailor. Barry soon began cleaning again. "Well... is there anything you like about your dad?" Barry asked. Satoshi looked at him. "No... I despise the man and how he works. I bet I don't even need his rules and such," Satoshi said with confident. Barry looks at him. "Wow dude, you need to calm down. Maybe his rules would allow you to not get angry at most things," Barry said. Satoshi sighed. After they were done cleaning, Barry showed Satoshi to his room. Satoshi looked at his room, it was room 13. 'Joy, the unlucky number.' Satoshi thought as they entered the room. It was quite small and had two beds on the sides and a small table at the end. Satoshi sees his bags already on one of the beds. Satoshi sighed. He picks up the bag with his chemistry set and puts it on the table. He grublems in anger, the place would be crowded if he let out all of his stuff. He sighs and puts on a forced smile. "So... who'll be my roommate? Will he or she be someone new or someone who's already on the ship but is working now?" Satoshi asked. He was kind of excited and scared at this. He never had a roommate before, and he was an only child so he didn't get along with others that great. "Actually you'll be staying here alone. Not many people get this room. Plus you are the last of the guests/crew members to join before the trip truly begins, but you're the only one from Kanto. I guess the other people in your land didn't want to travel the world like this," Barry said. Satoshi looked down in sadness. He soon let go of his stuff and looked at Barry. "Well we better tell chief that I failed the test. We've been avoiding him for too long," Satoshi said. Barry nodded.

At the kitchen, the two teens explained what happened. Chief Bellrock just nodded. "And, that's what happened." Barry said. The chief let out a hmm. Satoshi looked at him curiously. "So you failed the test. It's understandable. We don't get a lot of rich boys here, so it's understandable that one wouldn't be able to do that much. Even if we are famous along the sea and land, the rich land lubbers wouldn't like to go, " He said. Satoshi raised his hand. "Yes?" Bellrock asked. The black haired boy gulped. "well... how come not many rich people go on this trip. I would have suspected that the rich would want to learn more about the world, and this is runned by Drake of the Elite Four of Hoenn. I thought more people from the upper class would like to join in a heart beat," Satoshi said. Chief Bellrock laughs. Satoshi became scarred. "Those rich snobs don't know what's good for them. They're too scared to get their children or themselves hurt and since we travel to a lot areas that are considered 'too dangerous' for the rich, they decide to stay at home. So they miss out while not even considering about any educational values. Besides, they don't like getting to our level since there's a lot of work and lower class people here." Chief said. Satoshi looked around, it did looked like how his servants had worked when he was at home. Satoshi looks back to the chief. "So...what do I do now?" Satoshi asked, he really wanted to help. "Well, stay in your room. You're too inexperienced to handle working on this ship. Besides, you'll learn more from the places we'll be visiting than the actual ship," Bellrock said, "I hope you brought enough stuff to not get bored." Satoshi sighed. He really wanted to help, but they were right, he was too inexperienced. "So what room did the caption put him in? I need to know where the little guy goes if he ever wants room service. Hopefully he's not with that Trip guy." The chief said to Barry. Satoshi noticed this. "Room 13." Barry said, nonchalantly.

Suddenly Bellrock yelled, "WHAT!? You know the room is cursed." "Cc-cursed?" Satoshi scarred out his wite. Barry groans while Bellrock nods. "Yer. It's true. There once was a guy who came upon this ship as a passenger. Just like ye self. And he stayed in room 13. However, when the full moon came. He turned into a Were-Houndoom. The crew nearly lost their lives because of the beast. They eventually sealed the beast inside his room until it had starved to death. Some say that the beast is still in the room. Hiding as a spirit so it could possess a new body so it can have it's revenge." Chief said, his voice craggy and eerie. Satoshi was scarred out of his wit, biting on his finger nails. Barry laughs adwardly, breaking the tension. "Bellrock, you've been telling too many ghosts tells. Room 13 is fine. Besides, Were-Pokemon don't exist. It's just some old stories made from old guys to scare children." Barry said. Satoshi was still scared shitless. "Right Satoshi. That's all made up hogwash," Barry said. Satoshi soon froze in place and falls over. A goat sound was made as his legs and arms straightened out on the floor. "Ash are you okay?" Barry asked. Satoshi soon shocked his head. "What'cha called me?" Satoshi asked. "Ash. I'm tired of calling you satoshi all the time. It's weird sounding. Besides, your fairy like ashes," Barry said. Satoshi soon grabs Barry's collar. "I can allow you to mispronounce my last name. Fine. But! I will not let you call me ASH! Ever since Gary gave me the nick name Ashy-boy, I've been humiliated in privet school for so long. I will not be called by something that resembles that nick name! YOU HEAR ME!" Satoshi screamed in front of Barry. "Ok, okay. Jess." Barry said, "I won't call you Ash. Now will you please let me go." Satoshi slowly lets go and holds himself. He slowly breaths through his nose to try and calm himself down. He soon let a soft sigh. "You okay?" Barry asked. Satoshi looks at him with a smile. "Yeah. I'll be." Satoshi said.

Soon the two left the kitchen. "I guess I can call you Satoshi for now. That is until I figure out a better nickname for you." Barry said. Satoshi smiles. "Since you looked very scared by that story, didn't your parents or friends back home tell you any scary stories?" Barry asked. Satoshi looks at him. "Well...my best friend Gary has... but they were usually to make myself get all scarred and stuff. He's kind of a jerk that way." Satoshi said. Barry looks at him. "That's not nice." Barry said. Satoshi nodded. He looks at Pikachu. "Are you okay with Pikachu being out of his ball? He doesn't like it in there." Satoshi said. Pikachu nodded. Barry smiles. "Of course. We're here to study Pokemon of course. Hey, want to see my Empoleon when the ships lands on the nearest continent?" Berry said. Satoshi looks at him. "How come you can't pull out your... magical creature... out right now?" Satoshi asked. Barry huffs. "Empoleon's too heavy to be on deck. He's my starter Pokemon and fully evolved so his weight would be too heavy." Berry said. Satoshi was amazed. "You have a fully evolved Pokemon, and it's a starter! How!?" Satoshi said in excitement. Barry smiles. "My dad knows Professor Rowan, so when I was ten I was able to get a starter right away. Hey... do you have a starter Pokemon?" Barry asked. Satoshi shocked no. "No, my parents haven't allowed me to get a Pokemon until a few months ago. My friend Gary is grandson of Professor Oak, but my birthday is so late in the year that the starters were already taken, so he had to get me a wild Pokemon. Though I'm grateful, it would have been cool to see a bulbasaur, a charmander, or a squirtle." Satoshi said. Berry mouth fell to the ground. "Your friend is the grandson of the legendary Professor Oak!? Oh man! How lucky are you! Professor Oak is the highest of all the Pokemon Professors in the world." Berry said. Satoshi began to blush. He scratches his head. "Aw, thanks... I've always been praised by it, and it always makes me feel good. So thanks," Satoshi said. Berry smiles. Soon they reached a room. It was room 35. "Oh, this is my room. My roommate is a guy named Jonah. He's a nice guy. Well, see you later." Berry said. Satoshi smiles.

Soon he sighs, he better return to his quarters before he got in the way of someone. Suddenly somebody bumps behind him. Satoshi falls to the ground. "Hey!" A voice yelled. Satoshi looks up and sees a boy slightly younger than him. He had dark blond hair, blue eyes, a orange hoodie over a less thick blue hoody, had grey pants, and had black shoes. "Watch we're your standing. This is a hallway," He said, his voice similar to Berry's but more serious. (But since this is an anime, Satoshi doesn't really notices it.) "Oh, I'm sorry. I'm Satoshi Jekyll. Sorry," Satoshi said. (Jeek-yll.) "Jekyll? Oh, from the Jekyll family in Kanto. I've heard about you," The teenager said in a know-it-all kind of attitude, "Your family came from the country we just visited in some small little town called Pallet Town. They had to work their way to the top to even get the kind of work and power they have now. And let me guess. You know next to nothing about working on a ship. And since I heard a very large crash earlier. I guess you can't learn to handle this ship," He said, he sounded much more jerkish than Gary. Satoshi growled. "So what if my family were originally poor and that I'm not good at manual work! Most of theses people aren't even on my level!" Satoshi yelled, showing his fangs. The teen smirks. "Most huh? So? Who's on your level?" The teen asked. Satoshi looks away. "It's none of your business. You low-leveled scum," Satoshi said. Trip was annoyed. "Scum? Well I guess your attitude matches your smugness. I wonder if your parents raised you like this, or if something ... deeper ... is the cause. No matter, your still acting like a kid." Trip said. Satoshi growls. "Why YOU!" Satoshi screams. Trip was surprised by this. "You know, for a rich kid, your tempure is rapid. If I didn't know who your family was, then I would have thought you came from a cave and barely fitted in society. I guess you can't handle yourself like other 'people' I have met. Even the most vile of 'people' I've met at least know how to control their urges and rage." Satoshi growled in frustration, he was now fuming. "And who are you to go on about how I should act!? Your not my parents!" Satoshi yelled. The teen chuckles.

"I'm Trip from Unova. Even though my family is considered middle class, it seems I have a much bigger understanding of control and obedience than a rich boy from Kanto. Which must mean your family, one of the most sophisticated and well heard of doctor families in all of Kanto, can't handle the big time if they raise a son like you. A barbarian who attacks first and ask questions later." Trip said. Satoshi rolled up his sleeves, he couldn't handle it anymore. He soon an image of his father. He was holding a broken vase. "Look at what you've done. Another broken item. I've told you time and time again that you have to control yourself and your anger. You will never live in our world if you keep doing what your instincts tell you. Your a disgrace to our name. Now go to your room and think it over!" He yelled. Soon the image disappears. Satoshi's eyes sharpened. Suddenly Berry came out his room. "Hey! What's all the noise!?" He yelled annoyed. Suddenly he sees Satoshi and Trip. "Oh, it's you Trip," Berry said annoyed. "Oh, it's another middle class man," Trip said. Then he pointed to him. "But unlike me, he's too focused on wanting adventures to advance to a higher class," Trip said. Berry got ticked. "You know Trip, your ego is really annoying. But.. I will forgive you, if you stopped bragging that your from Unova. It's getting really old. Real quick," Berry said, angry. He soon notices that Satoshi was fuming and he was looking down. "Hey, Satoshi... did you talk to Trip? Uh oh... Trip what did you say to him?" Berry asked. Trip flips his hair. "I was just talking about his family, and how they were once lowsome country folk." Trip said. Suddenly Satoshi tries to rush over to Trip, blood lust in his eyes, but Berry holds him back. "Come on Satoshi! Get a hold of yourself. I know Trip's a jerk, but you can't let him get to you!" Berry yelled, Satoshi was trying to escape. He soon bites onto Berry's arm. "OW!" Berry yells, but he didn't let go. Satoshi bites harder in an attempt to escape. He claws towards the dark blond. Trip soon slowly walks away. "Umm... I think I should go now. I don't want to be mauled by a barbarian! Hahaha!" Trip said, it getting to Satoshi's anger.

Satoshi soon stops. He immediately realizes what he was trying to do. He tastes the blood and flesh he was biting on. Satoshi lets go of the arm and spits the blood out. Berry looks at his arm. "Ew, you were able to penetrate my skin and got your spit in my blood," Berry said disgusted, "I'll have to go to the nearest Doctor to make sure you didn't infect me. But... it's strange. No normal human can really bite through a human's skin. ... Satoshi... I'm worried about you," Berry said. Satoshi looks down. He felt guilty that he was so angry that he hurted his friend. Berry soon let's Satoshi go. "I'm sorry. I guess I took his words too literally... It... brought back painful memories of me arguing with my father," Satoshi said, holding himself. Berry sighs. "Well, sooner or later you'll be able to learn that temper. Just make sure you stay away from Trip until you do so. I don't want you to turn into a murder," Berry said. Satoshi nodded. "Well, better go to a fully licensed doctor. They're are a lot, so that wouldn't be hard," Berry said. Soon the light haired blond left. Satoshi sighed. He walks off, still tasting the blood. Pikachu worrying looks at his master. Satoshi smiles a bit. 'It... tastes okay... but an emotion needs to be there to be really good.d...W...wait a minute.. what!? What am I thinking about? I shouldn't even think blood is okay. And why am I thinking about emotions and stuff. That's crazy talk.' Satoshi held his head in confusion. Why was he suddenly thinking like this? Satoshi lick his lips then shocked his head. He felt strange inside as urges go through his body. He soon reached his cabin. He sighed. 'Maybe I should write to my parents? Maybe they know what's happening to me... but... they haven't told me yet about the birds and the bees thing like most parents have. I wonder why? You would think they would tell me about it as early as possible so I wouldn't go run off to some woman and accidently get her pregnant or something equally as monstrous. It is a very ungentlemanly for someone like me to do. At least my friends and their parents told me that.' Satoshi soon enters his cabin and looks through his stuff. He chuckles. His clothes were considered three decades behind, and very old looking by many of his friends. He didn't mind. He didn't really care about clothes in the fashion sense.

Satoshi got out a picture the 4 of them in a photo held that was in one of his bags. It was taken when they were very young kids. Satoshi soon puts it near his chemistry set. Even if he was a little disheartened to see a photo of Delia, it was the only comfort he had of home. He didn't think of bringing a photo of his family since he hated his father. Not to mention the family never took one photo together, even when the boy didn't hate his dad. Satoshi sighed. Then he thought back to Trips words. They now confused him. 'Though... how did Trip know about my family? Sure my family is well known in Kanto and maybe Hoenn. But Unova? A big place that's probably even further advance than Sinnoh, the most advance region in my continent. Why would Unova know about me and my family? It's too big to consider my family of to be any real importance. That's why my parents sent me on this trip, to learn more about the advance science and medical techenics that are around the world. Besides, Kanto medical famillies are pratically nothing comparied to Jhoto's, the most medically advance country on my continent.' Satoshi sighed. He really didn't like Trip. Satoshi looked up and saw that the ceiling was medium height. He wasn't really sure why the height of the ceiling mattered though, but he wanted to know it. Pikachu looks at his master. He was getting scarrier each day it seemed. First the party, then him overreacting to Delia leaving, now him biting on Berry and trying to kill Trip. Satoshi soon felt Pikachu tap him. "Oh, I'm sorry Pikachu. I... I didn't mean to make you upset. I guess I'm still angry at Trip. He's such a scum," Satoshi said. Pikachu nodded. Satoshi yawns. "What time is it?" He asks. He looks through his stuff and sees a small clock he had made. He smiles as he puts it on the table, after making sure he had enough room. It said 9:35 pm. He smiles. 'I should get some sleep. It has been a rough day for me.' Satoshi thought. He stretches and changes into his night attire, which was a white fluffy shirt with a x tie and a pair of brown pants. Satoshi carefully puts his stuff away. He looks at his clothes. He had quite a bit, definitely not enough to consider himself girlish, but enough to wear for this three year journey.

Satoshi soon puts all of his clothe bags under his bed. He looks at the blue prints/poster/science books/adventure books bag. He had quite a lot in it, but he was a master organizer. He puts it under the second bed. Satoshi sighed. He looks at his chemistry set and the chemicals he brought. 'I will make everyone proud of me. I...I'll make something that will wow the world. I'll show them, show them all,' Satoshi said to himself. He need to boost his self esteem up. He soon blew out the candles that were lighting the room. He was scared, he didn't like being in the dark that much. He soon went to lay on the bed, Pikachu soon laid on top of him. Satoshi looks around the room and notices a large window with the moon showing. It was a full moon. Satoshi soon thought back to the story he was told. He began to sweat. 'It's just a silly story. There's... there's no were-houndoom living on this ship. Besides were-Pokemon is just another silly story that my friends scarred me with. I... shouldn't be ...thinking now,' Satoshi thought. He soon fell asleep.

...

Satoshi was sitting in group near a fire. He was on a local camping site that the other parents had picked out. Satoshi was sitting near his best friends. The parents looked at them from the tents they had put up. It seemed all the parents were there with the kids. Well except for Satoshi's parents, who were off on business. They had left Satoshi's friends' parents to babysit them. Satoshi looked around, he didn't mind it that his parents were gone. Not only was it common when the gang went on trips, but he was also in the processing age of him hating his dad. "Why don't we tell scary stories. It is a camping trip after all," Delia's dad, Mr. Ketchum, said. Satoshi smiles, this was his first chance to hear a scary story since his parents didn't think they were good for the mind. "Oh! Let me go first!" Brock said. His parents, the Stones, allowed. Many of Brock's younger sisters and brothers were already fast asleep in the large tent the Stones' had put up. "I heard a legend of a sinking ship. There was once a ship on sea, sailing towards the new world of Unova and such. When it hit an iceberg in the Arctic, puckering the ship. Many people died that day except for a single group. The group said it was a miracle from Arceus itself. Some say that near the arctic you can still hear the cries of the people who didn't make it, and are cursing at the ones who did," Brock said. Satoshi became scarred. Gary laughs. Soon the others began laughing. "You think that's a ghost story. I'll tell you a ghost story," Gary said. The he looked at the fire.

"I heard from my grandpa that there's a special race of humans that feed off the blood humans and can change their forms into animals and mist. He calls them VAMPIRES! They serage the night searching for prey. They bite onto their victims, usually draining them dry. When a human is fully drained from their blood by the monsters, they become servants of the monsters called Kremlins. They're said to be part humans, part zombie, unable to refuse an order from their masters and are very weak against humans. They hardly talk and they are clumsy. The vampires can even turn a human into one of themselves by either feeding the humans some of their blood, or injecting a human with said blood. It is even said that Vampires are part Dark type, even though they're part humans. That's why they're so powerful and different than regular humans. The Vampires are weak to two things, holy items like land, water, and other stuff; or a stake through the heart. They hate and are allergic to garlic and onions, and they despised creatures who think they are better than them. They have large egos, and if offended enough, they turn into savages. My grandpa says that Vampires start off fairly similar to humans when they are born. But they show their true colors around puberty. They start wanting blood, they lose their reflections in both mirrors and photos, they learn to use Pokemon attacks and how to change their forms, they have to sleep upside down on the ceiling or in coffins, and they can feel what emotions a human can feel. They also slowly stop aging around their late to early 20s-30s. It has been rumored that vampires can tastes a human's emotions in the blood, and the monsters have a craving for one emotion or traite they just love to feel when feeding. The rumor also states that the emotion each vampire wants is different for each one. The monsters are said to be immortal and can breed with each other, and maybe humans. It's hard to tell why they breed since they're immortal, but maybe it's for fun... They could be here, hiding in this country. OR even in town."Gary said, slowly looking away, "OR THEY'RE RIGHT HERE!" Suddenly he turns towards the kids, revealing large white fangs. Satoshi soon screams in terror and hides behind Delia. Delia and Gary laughs at this.

"Oh Gary. That's a great story. But Vampires aren't real, everyone knows that," She said. Satoshi looks at her. She smiles at the boy behind her. He soon felt his heart pump in his chest. He blushes, then laughs. "ye..yeah. That... that is kind of silly. Humans... that drink blood and are part dark types. hahahah." Satoshi nervously laughs. Gary smiles. "It seemed to work on you," Gary said. Satoshi looks away. "Th..that's because.. I've never heard a gh..ghost story before. I couldn't tell if you were lying," Satoshi said. Gary soon spites the fake fangs out. He smiles at his best friend. "Don't worry, all these stories are fake. So don't be scared," Gary said. Satoshi smiles. Delia looks at them. "Oh. Oh! I know another fun story," She said. She looks at the fire. "It called the Were-Pokemon. Every generation of Pokemon, there are a few magical creatures that can turn into humans. They have a special power that has been passed down through generations, allowing more and more Pokemon to disguise themselves as humans. Nobody knows why it happens. But some say it's a gift from some unknown lunar Pokemon, or maybe Cresselia, since all of the were-Pokemon gain enormous Power on the full moon. However, their animal instincts are said to go into overdrive on theses nights and if the Pokemon is weak willed, it will break from it's normal personality and become a killer. It will return to normal once the full moon is over; however, a night is plenty enough for it to kill a lot of people. And it is said that once a were-Pokemon kills 3 people, it will be unable to control itself and become a killer much longer than then full moon. It will not be tamed, and it will try to kill more people." Delia said. "There are three ways to kill a Were-Pokemon, first is with silver like a cane or a bullet or something that can hit it's skin, second is to starve it since it's still a Pokemon, or three have a Vampire rip out it's neck." Satoshi hide behind her. "Oh. I'm sorry, Satoshi. It seemed that this story has scarred you too. Remember, I mentioned Vampires in this story, so remember it's not real," She said. Satoshi soon looks away. "ye..yeah... I gu..guess I'm no...not ready for..for sc...scary stories." Satoshi said. Everyone laughs. Satoshi looks down. Suddenly a houndoom howl was heard. It was long and hauntinging. Satoshi screams in terror.

...

Satoshi screams up in terror as he sat up in his bed. Pikachu falls over, taking the blanket. He looks around. The howl was now over it heavily breathed as he looked around his room. He suddenly hears the Houndoom's roar. Pikachu looked just as terrified as Satoshi. The black haired boy looked around. 'Drate. I... I don't remember how ghosts work... I guess Gary told me that story on a later date... but... I have to be careful. It's probably here somewhere.' Satoshi looked around frantically, it was the third time, and so far he couldn't hear or feel a ghost. The howl was heard again. Satoshi held his chest, trying his best to calm down. 'No...no. I ... I have to be brave. I... I won't let some scary story g..get the...better of me...' Satoshi thought. The howl was heard again. Suddenly Satoshi falls down and puts his pillow over his head. 'No. I'm too scared to face it... I.. I can't face a were-Pokemon. Especially a killing one. I'll..I'll be torn to shreds.' Satoshi thought. Pikachu looks at his master. He had to get him to face the monster so it won't kill more humans. "PikaPi!" It yells. Satoshi looks at it. It soon gave many motions of his body to show that Satoshi had to over come his fears to protect the crew while talking mostly in Pika and chus. "Yo..your right! I.. I have to protect the crew members. I won't let a silly myth scare me!" Satoshi said. Pikachu cheers at him. Satoshi soon looked around. 'Where is it coming from?' He asked himself. He began to force his hearing, actually listen to the sound to see where it's coming from. "It's coming from on deck. ... And it's a full moon tonight. I... I have to stop it!" Satoshi yelled. He soon zips out of his room to the top deck. He soon reaches the top, ready to face the monster, but he soon sees a houndoom sitting next to a large man. Satoshi was confused. The man soon looks around then notices him.

"Oh, so your Ash." He said. Satoshi became angry. "It's Satoshi. Not Ash! ...*cough*... Anyways, was it your Houndoom that was making that noise?" Satoshi asked. The man chuckles. "Oh, dear Hound Blazer. Why yes. He tends to howl at the full moon a lot. The crew members tend to hate it, so I usually have him stay in your room since he usually can see the moon while in there. But since I didn't want to have you sleep in a room with a howling dog and I have no other rooms for you, I decide to have him howl out here. Unfortunately, now his howls tend to be echoed through pipes over there, and it seems to now be effecting everyone. I'm sorry if he woke you," The man said. Satoshi was surprised. "But.. what about the story about my room? About the were-houndoom?" Satoshi asked. The man laughes. "Oh, thoses stories. Me and Houndblazer have been here for so long that the full time crew members have decided to make up stories about my dog and his room to scare new members of the crew. It usually ends up causing a few hijinks until they learn the truth. Hehe. Berry was even scarred of the story," The man said. Satoshi laughs. It was a funny prank. Then he noticed something. "Hey? How do you know about my connection with Berry and that you know me and my room?" Satoshi asked. The man smiles. "I heard it from the crew staff. It's my job to know what's going on with my crew. For I am the caption!" He said with a large grin. Satoshi was surprised. Then he noticed the man's looks. He had a large white sailor's hat with a yellow pokeball emblem on the black part of his hat. He had very short white hair and a large wide v shaped like mustache. He was shirtless with large black jacket with a blue underverse that was visable thanks to him outwards folding the collar, it was black at the ends of the jacket and jagged like, and it had yellow outlines around his neck and chest areas and two large rings around his lower arms. He wore light blue baggy that were held on by a large black belt with sliver colored buckle. He also had large black rubber boats on.

"Caption Drake of the Hoenn Elite Four! How!? ... How did I not recognize you sir?" Satoshi said. He always knew Drake of the elite four of Hoenn circuit lead the cruise. That's why it was so popular, but since it was so cheap for middle classed people to go on easily, the upper people were too stuck up to go on. The man soon laughs. "Well you were more focused on your problems and my dog that you didn't even look at me. From what I heard from your parents, this happens a lot. You were so focused on the noise that you forget who's with you." He said with a smile. Satoshi nodded. "But how come you have a Houndoom? I thought you trained.. those... scarry... monstrous... mean...Dd...dr..ra..aggggoooon types?" Satoshi said terrified. The man nodded. "Well, even though I train hard in dragon types. Hound Blazer has and will ever be my partner. Just like how your Pikachu is yours." Drake said. Satoshi looks at his shoulder and sees that his buddy Pikachu was on it. He was in such a hurry to find out what was causing the noise that he didn't noticed. Pikachu smiles and blushes. Satoshi smiles back. Drake looks at Satoshi. "From the way you were describing dragons and your stammer at it's actual words, I can figure out your scared of Dragon types." The caption said. Satoshi chuckles. "Ye...yeah... my best friend Gary scarred me so hard with a Deino that Professor Oak was taking care of that I've been scarred of all Dragon types. It doesn't help that Gary also used his grandfather's Dragonite to frighten me when ever he had the chance." Satoshi said, scarred. The man nodded. "So, your family is so popular that it knows the Oaks. That's very nice." He said. Satoshi smiled. He need to keep his thoughts off of dragon types. Suddenly the houndoom howled. "AUGH!" Berry's voice was heard. Soon he climbs up the stairs, he was in his own night goan. "Caption! None of the crew members can get to sleep thanks to your dog. Now either put him in your room, or put him in his Pokeball!" Berry said, angry. The caption laughs. "Ah, Berry. It's good to see you again. Sorry about that," He said as turned to his houndoom, "Are you done for tonight?" It nodded, soon he got out a home made pokeball and returned it. Berry sighed in relief.

He soon noticed Satoshi on board. "Oh, Satoshi. I guess you fond out the truth. Well, it's good that you fond out now instead of waking up each night terrified by the howling." Barry said. Satoshi nods with a smile. "I-I knew that story was fake all along. Haha. I mean, were-Pokemon being real. Hahaha!" Satoshi said, trying to be as tough as he could. The caption chuckles. "I wouldn't be saying something like that isn't real. You never know what is and isn't real in this world." Drake said. Satoshi and Berry looked at him in confusion. Was he actually suggesting that Were-Pokemon were actually real? He smiles. "You're kidding right?" Barry said confused. The caption smiles. "You never know." He just said. Soon he went off into his cabin. Satoshi and Barry just looked at him in confusion. "Well better get back to bed." Barry said. Soon Satoshi nodded and the two went to their rooms. Satoshi was soon in his room laying on his bed with Pikachu on his lap. 'Could Were-Pokemon really exist? The caption seems to think so. Plus he is an elite four member, so he has a much better chance of telling the truth and believability than anyone else. But... if were-pokemon are real, does that mean Vampires, ghosts and other monsters are real besides Pokemon?' Satoshi looks at his hand. Suddenly it looked like a claw for a second. Satoshi shocked his head, then looked back at his hand. It was back to normal. 'I'm over reacting again. I... I should just go to bed.' Satoshi thought, soon he fell asleep.

Is Satoshi's suspicions right? Is he connected to the fable and strange monsters of his world? Well see in the next few chapters.
