everyone! My name is Emmanuel Jones. If any of you saw my name before like in the end of Cullen Pittman's
first Poké-Odyssey series, then I'm one of the people
who gave him some ideas. Anyway, this my
very first time in writing fanfiction, and I'm not
that good in writing, either. I'm much
better in drawing. Oh, and speaking of
drawing, I hope you like my picture of Cameron and Sandy. I'm thinking of making some title pages of
the two series on Photoshop. O.K., enough with the intros. Let's get this story stared! Before that, I better put this up. I know that you don't like these things, but
it's very important...
DISCLAIMER: Poké-Odyssey and its characters are not mine. They belong to Cullen Pittman. "Poké-Odyssey:
Next Generation" and its characters are created by Bellossom
Boy, and--here's a shocker--"MTV Cribs" is created by--who
else?--MTV. I'm doing a mix of
them. This story takes place before Bellossom Boy's fic. You can e-mail me comments about the segment,
and you can flame me, too, just a couple of rules--no swearing in the messages,
and don't flame me too much. Like I said
before, this is my first time in writing fanfiction
and I'm not that much of an author.
Also, I'm putting this in script mode.
I'll give you a link of my e-mail address after this segment. I'll play as narrator. Enjoy reading...I
hope.

I'll give you the
information about the underlined word(s) in the author's notes after
this segment.
***********************************************************************
In
one corner, there stood a middle-aged, muscular man with jet black hair
with spikes, a
handsome but familiar face, wore a cap which is red on the
back half and white on the front with a marking on it, a black muscle
shirt,
a
pair of dark blue jeans with a black belt, and black and white sneakers.
He
held a red and white sphere in his right hand with a pair of green
fingerless gloves on each hand as he holds it up to his face with his eyes
closed. A few meters away, there stood
a younger, not too muscular man
with straight blonde hair and emerald green eyes which concealed of glasses
while the lenses shine as the bright sun hits them. He wore a white T-shirt,
a
pair of lighter blue jeans with a brown belt, white sneakers, and a same,
familiar cap as the older man. His
face--which is familiar also--had shown
complete focus and determination while holding the same sphere in his right
bare hand. With a light breeze
blowing, the older man opened his eyes, and
if
you look closer, he has clear brown eyes.
Older
man: Ready?
Younger
man: Ready!
In
unison, both men twisted their hats to the back with their free left hands,
wind up their spheres as like they are pitchers in a baseball game, and as
they threw them...
Both
men: POKÉBALL, GO!!
The
balls sailed through the air as they split open from the center and a
white light exploded within as the scene ends.
Me:
(as narrator) Do you know these faces? I'll give you a hint; one of
them is the star of a popular children's anime show and the main character
in
some games in a company called Nintendo.
The other is a fan of it a
long time ago while living in
the
difference of them. What they have in
common is they love these
creatures called Pocket Monsters, or Pokémon for short, they currently
lived in a small but peaceful town which was imprisoned by an evil
organization, and they develop a strong friendship with others and their
Pokémon, especially their first.
You're experiencing "Cribs" like never
before. Welcome to "Cribs: Poké-Odyssey Style!"
First, we reach into
the
cozy home of the star of the Poke-Odyssey series, Cameron Fusterman!
Cameron: I know this is not that big of a house, but
that's OK. We are
trying to live like normal people, and you know the old saying, "Do not
judge a book by its cover."
Me: Next, we take a look at the fantasy house of
the one and only, Ash
Ketchum!
Ash: After I won the Indigo League, I've always
dreamed of living in a
nice house like my mom's. All that
training and winning has paid off, I
have more room than hers, and more bills to pay, but a least I have a job!
Me: And last but certainly not least, we have
seen a little bit of the Pallet
gym,
but Ash and Cameron will give us the full scoop!
Cameron: Our parents, Mrs. Ketchum, Ash, and I did a
nice job with the
warehouse which transforms into a tough but pretty-looking battlefield,
and
some photographer even gave us a huge
blown-up picture of us as
statutes at the town hall.
Ash: And on the floor below that mighty frame, you
see what my mom
made this whole gym possible: the
Hero Badge.
There
we see a pedestal with a small glass box on top of it. Inside there's
a
small, soft, red pillow, and on it is a round badge made out of felt, half
purple, half blue, and in the center of it is a big, red capital
"H".
Ash: We put it up on display so the trainers can
see it, but they can't
touch it. This is the same badge my
mom pulled out from her purse. We
asked the Indigo League committee to make copies them. That badge there
is
very special to us, and we keep it safe from harm.
Me: Poké-Odyssey, we
choose you! This special edition of
"Cribs" starts...
right now!
Then
the "Cribs" theme music comes on and so is the views of some of the
celebrities' houses, but it's in a different title...

The
scene begins as the camcorder shows a medium-sided, two-story white
house with a small car porch on the left side, and some kind of vehicle
inside it. Here is some info about
this one..
3
bedrooms
2.5
bathrooms
a
training room
a
pool
a
flower garden
Location:
The
front door opens and here to welcome us is none other than our blonde-
haired hero.
Cameron: (does a short bow and a wave) Hello,
everyone! I'm Cameron
Fusterman. (grins sheepishly or
in Pokémon terms, Mareepishly, and put
his
hand behind his back) Yes, I'm the hero of Pallet and
Ryooku League champion. Geez, I'm getting
all the praise here. (his
face
back to normal and smiles a normal smile) Anyway, welcome to my house.
I
know this is not that big of a house, but that's OK. We are trying to live
like normal people, and you know the old saying, "Do not judge a book
by
its cover." Come on, I'll show you
around.
As
we entered into the house, a two-foot tall mouse Pokémon with sand
armor around its body ran down from the long stairway.
Pokémon:
(jumps) Shrew! (lands
on Cameron's open arms) Sandshrew!
Cameron:
Oh, I think we have another guide who shows us our house. This
is
my favorite, first, and toughest of all my Pokémon, Sandy. (to
Say
hi.
Sandy:
(waves to the camera) Sandshrew!
Cameron: He's the same Sandshrew--if
you're wondering what kind of Pokémon
he
is--that rescued me from the dungeon made by Team Rocket. You probably
know them from the past "Pokémon" shows, but
they're...um...different.
and
I became quick friends since that day.
Cameron: Oh, right, the house. We start by where you are standing on right
now: the family room.
And
it's a fairly large room with a living room group, a wall clock, a home
entertainment center and a wall-attached hat rack.
Cameron: We have a 36-inch TV with VHS/DVD/CD combo,
and large speakers
so
it feels like you're going to the movies. Also a couch with recliners for
the
family, some chairs for the guests, a table with small coasters for cups,
and
on this cabinet we acquired lots of movies and music.
The
camera shows a cabinet of four shelves filled with stuff.
Cameron: On the top shelf we have music CDs of
different styles: classic,
alternatives, R&B, and some of Japanese pop which is a favorite for my
wife and one of my daughters. The
next two shelves are the family movies.
The
first one are all DVDs from Disney like "Toy
Story," to the Warner Bros.
like "Space Jam," and some anime movies including the winner of
the Oscar
for
Best Animated Feature, "Spirited Away." Now, in the shelf below it are
tapes of the Walt Disney Masterpiece Collection. It has "The Lion King," "101
Dalmatians," "The Jungle Book," "Lady and the Tramp,"
and more. That's
a
lot of movies, are they? On the last
shelf there are video tapes recorded
that we used for holidays and special occasions like Christmas,
Thanksgiving,
New
Year's, anniversaries, birthdays, vacations, anything. We like to use
the
camcorder a lot.
He
walks toward the hat rack with a variety of hats. He picks up a familiar
cap
and puts it on his head.
Cameron: (points at his hat) Is
this hat familiar to you? Yep, it's the
official Pokémon league expo-hat. It was
a thank you gift from a friend
of
mine. I wear it whenever we encounter
Pokémon battles. We also have
a
straw hat--my wife wears it sometimes in hot, sunny days while gardening,
some visors for the children, and more hats for the year.
He
took off his hat and puts it back as we follow him and Sandy to the next
room which is behind the stairs.
Cameron: Next, we go to somebody says "the
heart of the home,":
the kitchen.
The
camera shows a room large enough for a nice dinette group, a refrigerator
/freezer,
a sink, a dishwashing machine, a stove/oven/microwave combo, some cupboards,
and
a large red octopus moping the floor with four mops in four of
its
tentacles and the other four carrying buckets of water with some new
Don't
Mop with Dirty Water Again Pine-Sol.
Cameron: (points to it) Here's one of our
"housemaids." This is my
Octillery.
Octillery sees its trainer, tackles him affectionately, and starts kissing
him
repeatedly with her snout.
Cameron: (tries to push it away from his face) Hey,
wait a minute! Stop
kissing me, Octillery! No, please!
Not in front of the camera! (he pushes
it
out of his way and pants for two seconds) She does that to me every time
I
come near her, but I got used to it.
It's kinda embarrassing to be in
front of other people. Anyway, this
room is spotless and grimeless thanks
to
her. (to Octillery) Thank you.
Octillery blushes as she’s rubbing the back of her head with one of her
tentacles, then goes back to work.
Cameron: (to camera) Let's see what's in the fridge. (opens the door and
inside...) Well, there are some good food in here like fruits and vegetables,
some meat that I like, my kids love to drink Hi-C. Some rice balls and
sushi--another of my wife and daughter favorites. My wife is a natural in
Japanese
cuisine, and I'm in All-American. Here we have some apricorns
that came from Glory-Sue. (holds a white fruit
that looks like a mix of an
apricot and a acorn) She's a friend of mine from Garlic Acres and one of
the
Ryooku gym leaders there. (to
He
grabs the apricorn from Cameron and munches on it.
Cameron:
small door leads to the laundry room.
There's another Pokémon helping
with some housework. Let's meet him.
We
follow him as he opened the door to a room big enough for a washer
and
dryer, stacks of clothes from each family member on each bucket
(they have names on the buckets) and there was a pink Pokémon
wearing
a
red-and-white striped collar around his neck and a spiral-shaped crown
on
its head folding the last set of clothes.
Cameron: Here is my Slowking. I called him Slowie. (to Slowie) Hey,
Slowie, are you finished?
Slowie: (in a wise but dopey voice)
Hi, Mama. I'm almost done.
Cameron: (whispering to the camera so Slowie can't hear) He's calls me
mama because ever since he was a tiny Slowpoke, I saved him from a hungry
but
deadly Fearow, and since I'm only thing he first
sees, he thinks I'm his
mother. It's really heartbreaking to
tell him what was happening to his real
mother who was a Slowbro, but sooner or later, I
have to let him know the
truth. Oh, and did you notice that he
can talk? Well, after a few years, he
speaks pretty good English. Not perfectly,
but good.
Slowie: I'm finished, Mama.
Cameron: (in a normal voice to Slowie)
Good job. (to
the camera) Now,
watch as he uses his psychic powers to lift the clothes in the air and puts
them in the buckets neatly folded. (to Slowie again) OK, Slowie, show
them what you can do.
Slowie nods, and if by some force, the Slowking
surrounds himself with
a
blue aura as he lifted the clothes with his mind, and divides them as
he
put them in the buckets neatly folded like Cameron says.
Cameron: That was excellent as always, Slowie.
Slowie: (blushes) Thank
you, Mama.
Cameron: (to Slowie and the
camera) Follow me.
And
we follow them out of the laundry room and into the kitchen once again.
Cameron: (calling out to his Pokémon) Octillery, since you did great with
the
kitchen, you deserve a break.
apricorn, throw it in the garbage so
you, Octillery, and Slowie can
go to
the
backyard. (to
the camera) Keep up with us.
Cameron
opens the big sliding door which is next to the laundry door, went
down a couple of stairs, and we enter into an even bigger yard. As big as
two
acres, to be exact.
Cameron: (to his Pokémon) OK, you guys can go to your
resting spots.
(they split up as Cameron speaks to the camera) This is my favorite place.
To
my right there's a picnic table with a bench on each side. I ordered in
the
paint that can withstand any weather conditions: rain, snow, ice, sleet,
hail, even in hot or cold temperatures.
It's as strong as steel. Now,
beside
the
stairs behind me are two large lawn chairs.
(sat at the left one) It's
big
enough for two people. My wife and I usually
sit on this one while
our
two daughters sat on the right one.
Well, no time to lounge here.
I'll
do
that after I show you the house. (stands up and walks to the left) This
is
the sandbox in what we called (quoting fingers) "
not
too big and not too small, either.
He
looked at his Sandshrew staring at a Sandshrew sculpture.
Cameron:
female one, in fact. We mixed in sand
and cement and it will hold that
way
so he can look at it all he wants. (to
wishing it was a real female Sandshrew. Cameron waved his hand at his
dazed friend, but Sandy didn't even flinch nor blink.
Cameron: (to the camera) He's out of it. (sighs) It's tough
to be single.
I
know that Pokémon do age like humans, but he's still young to me. Don't
worry, he'll find his love someday.
OK, moving on.
We
followed him as he walked about eight feet to a pool to the left filled
with Pokémon.
Cameron. We have a Poké-pool
here. You already met Slowie and Octillery.
(points to a large blue squid with many tentacles) This is my
wife's
Tentacruel...
Tenacruel: (waving tentacles to the camera
with a deep, fluid voice)
Tenta-cruel!
Cameron: (points to a huge red crab) and Kingler.
Kingler: (waves to the camera with a
voice like the Cookie Monster) Co-king
co-king!
He
walks a few more feet and we see a Pokémon with a pointed head kicking
nothing but air.
Cameron: And here's her Hitmontop--training
hard as always.
We
follow him again until we see something so pretty, we don't see it often.
There's
an arch door with some vines of roses and thorns on it, and around
it
there's a long flower fence. As we enter
through it, the place is filled
with flower bushes almost everywhere and flowers planted in the
ground.
We
follow him as he walks through the walkway.
Cameron: You can see an entire acre of my wife's
flower garden. She
plants lilies, dandelions, tulips, daisies, plums, roses, buttercups—
probably every flower in the world. She
got that inspiration from Mai
Goodness,
the owner of the famous
takes care of them everyday and protects them. She even mixes bleach
with water so that will kill bacteria in the plants and they will live
longer.
She
thinks she wants to add some trees in here, but it will give or take 10
to
20 years to grow.
He
stops near a small walkway to a huge, gorgeous flowered igloo with a
cave opening.
Cameron: This garden is also the home of our plant
couple. (turns
to
toward igloo speaking to someone) Hey, are two any decent in here?
Voice
1: Vileplume!
Voice
2:
Cameron: (turns to the camera) They
said it's OK. (turns
to the igloo
again) Why don't you come on out and introduce yourselves?
Out
from their home, the two plant Pokémon are holding
hands. One of
them is almost four feet tall, blue-violet skin, and a huge red flower with
large petals on its head. The other
one is about one foot, four inches, has
two
red smaller flowers on each side of its head, green skin, and a face
of
a cute girl. It wears a hula skirt made
out of leaves.
Cameron: This is my Vileplume,
VP...
VP: (waves to the camera) Vile!
Cameron: And my wife's Bellossom.
Bellossom: (does a curtsy) Bellossom
Cameron: Slowie and Octillery are the only Pokémon who spends most of
the
time taking care of the house while the others stay at the gym.
and
VP are just visiting right now. (pats VP) He's also wants to know how
his
wife is doing.
VP: (blushes and put his hand behind his petaled head and rubs it) Vileplume!
Cameron: Yes, I did say wife. They had a grass-type Pokémon wedding
somewhere in Pallet in a secret place so they won't be attacked by any
bug-type Pokémon. Anyway, I've been
through the garden a few times a
week because I'm allergic to flower nectar, but I took some medicine before
I
went outside.
Unknown
to Cameron and the plant couple, the camera shows somebody opened
the
backyard door and a pair of black slippers and silk stepped in.
Cameron: My wife said that we're a destined couple if
both of our grass-
types are in love with other. Those
two have though everything together
outside their Pokéballs filled with love and
affection. Although Bellossom
misses VP very much when he's at the gym, they keep in touch by
videophone.
They
got married after that, and we like to show you a little surprise.
(talks to the plant couple) OK, you can bring them out.
They
smile and nod. They turned toward the
igloo and...
Bellossom: (shouts)
VP: (also shouts) Vileplume
vile!
They
waited for five seconds...until...three miniscule radishes with the
same skin color as VP and leaves on top of their heads came out running
with little feet, but they have no arms.
Triplets: Oddish oddish odd!
Cameron: Yep, they have Oddish
babies. Very healty ones, too.
The
figure got off the stairs and walks toward the garden.
Cameron:
If I remember from my Pokédex, an average Oddish should
be the
height of 1'11". Just let them
grow a few more inches and they well be
learning some attacks from their "parents."
VP/Bellossom: (blushing
uncontrollably) VILE/
Cameron: (to them) Hey, it's
true. Look, if it's embarrassing to you,
I
won't tease you again. Deal?
VP/Bellossom: (nods)
Vile/Bell.
The
figure stops a few feet from Cameron and the Pokémon.
Cameron: (patting all the Oddish)
Just look at those little guys. Aren't
they adorable?
Female
voice: (with a Japanese accent) Hai, but the most
adorable one is
you,
Came-chan.
He
smiled. He knew who made that soft,
beautiful voice and the only one
who
called him that pet name. He turned his
head around to see a wonderful
Asian woman at the age of 30. She wears a
pink and lavender kimono with
white flower designs, a black belt snug tightly around her waist to show a
slim and sexy figure, and sleeves about five or six inches from her
wrists
while carrying two big, heavy plastic bags on her arms. She has the most
beautiful face in the anime world with ruby red eyes, an angelic smile, long,
charcoal black hair tied to a braid, and golden skin which is almost shining.
For
an added effect, cherry blossoms flutter around her.
Cameron: Here's my little Moonray. Everyone, this is my lovely wife coming
near our tenth year anniversary, Reiko Yudoku.
Reiko: (bows to the camera) Konichiwa. I hope you're enjoying our
home and
my
little garden. (to
her husband) Hi, Came-chan.
Cameron: Hey yourself.
Do you need any help?
Reiko: Oh, no, I have everything under
control--whoops!
She
accidentally drops the bag on his feet.
Cameron led out an "ow" in
a
little voice.
Reiko: (drops the other bag on the ground and runs to
him) Oh, my gosh!
Are
you alright?
Cameron: (with pain shown on his face, his voice back
to normal and smiles)
Yeah. No problem.
Reiko
lifted the bag off his feet and massages his feet from through his
sneakers.
Reiko: Gomen. Your mother will punish me for hurting you.
Cameron: I'm OK.
I've been in a lot more pain during our past journey.
What's
inside those bags...
He
stopped as he saw the words on the bags:
Xanadu Nursery.
Cameron: (shakes his heads while smiling) More fertilizer--I
should
have known.
Reiko: (smiles at him) So,
my plants need more food, you know?
Cameron: I know, and I suppose you have some for the
little ones, too?
Reiko: (holds a smaller paper bag out from of
nowhere) It just so happens
I
do.
She
kneels down, opens the bag, and poor out some Pokémon food on the
floor small enough for the Oddish to chew. The three babies make happy
noises as they nibble through the food.
Cameron: So how did you do on that greenhouse?
Reiko: The usual--I stepped in, Floirnda
and Potter greeted me, we talked,
and
then I bought two bags for the price of one.
(holds Cameron's face)
This
garden is my life, but so are you.
She
leans in and...
Cameron: (holds her back) Uh, don't you think we
should kiss some another
time? We're on TV here.
Reiko: I can't wait.
(seductively drawing circles on his chest with
her
finger and removing his glasses while staring into his handsome eyes) Like
the
Farfetch'd who feels lost without its leek, I feel so
alone without you.
Besides,
I want to show the camera how much we love each other.
Cameron
tries again, but her sweet lips upon his stopped him in his tracks.
She
kissed gently, waiting for her husband to surrender. Try as he might,
Cameron
just can't resist the love spell his "Moonray"
has cast on him.
He
wanted to push her away, but Reiko's soft, strong arms might break his
back. So, he did the only thing he
can do--he responded and deepened the
kiss. VP and Bellossom
smiled silently at their trainers. The
humans
shared a bliss like they do. The Vileplume told his wife to stay with the
kids and then the petal Pokémon told the camera to follow him. He ran
to
the sandbox one minute later because he has shorter feet than the humans.
He
looked at his Sandshrew friend still gazing at the
sculpture. He waved
his
fingerless hand in front of
the
rodent's side and...
VP: (shouts) VILEPLUME!
VP's
big mouth into
He's
stepping back about three feet and...
VP: (running towards
He
slams
to
his senses.
Sandy: (angrily at VP) Shrew shrew,
sandshrew sandshrew?!
He's
asking VP why did he do that.
VP: (apologizes to him) Vileplume!
Then
VP told
he
lost track of his trainer. The two
Pokémon ran and found him and his
wife still in the garden. Cameron
and Reiko have stopped kissing, but
they’re holding close and staring at one another.
Cameron's
pants leg until he sees some skin and then...
Cameron: (screaming) YOW!!!
He
pinched Cameron with his sharp claws.
The emerald-eyed trainer looks
down at his Sandshrew with closed eyes and a mix
of a sigh and a moan came
from his mouth, shaking his sandy head.
Cameron: (put his glasses back on with a small smile)
Well, welcome back,
Sandy: (shows the victory sign for him) Shrew!
Cameron: (to his wife) Sorry, Moonray,
but I have to continue to show them
(to the camera) the house.
Reiko: (to Cameron with a sad smile) I
understand. (went
to
his
head as he wags his tail) I know how impatient Sandy-san is. I'll be
working in the garden, anyway.
Cameron: See ya later.
He
kissed her one more time and speaks to
Cameron: How about a race back to the house?
Cameron: (to his wife and the Pokémon) Bye, guys.
They
ran towards the door. Reiko giggles at
her husband beautifully. For
ten
years, he is older and more sweeter, but he's still a kid at heart.
Either
way, her love for him grows every single day, just like her lovely
garden.
Meanwhile,
back at the kitchen...
Cameron: Good race,
to
be a little quicker if you want to dodge those nasty water attacks.
Cameron
picks up his winded friend.
Cameron: Why don't you rest right here? There you go. (to
the camera) OK,
we've seen the family room, the kitchen, the backyard. Next, we have a
little library.
We
follow them to the room from the right of the kitchen. It has a computer
cabinet in the center of it with a computer system--a monitor, keyboard, a
cordless mouse with mouse pad, a CPU with modem, and a four-in-one color
printer/copier/scanner/fax machine--a cabinet filled with books, and one top
of
it is the a small, handmade hook and lash with a cross and it's held on a
small stand.
Cameron: (pats the computer) Believe it or not, the
Internet has some
Pokémon
web sites in here, and there're some anime sites,
too. (walks
to
the other cabinet) This is our library cabinet.
We've collected a lot of
books here. The top shelf is
mine. (took out
a pocket-sized book) This
is
a mini-Pokémon anime album from the past shows.
It's a good thing I
showed this to Misty, Brock, and Mrs. Ketchum for the first time or else
they think of me as some kind of nut and they probably sent me to an
asylum.
The
next shelf is Reiko's. She read some
American culture and a lot of
Japanese
works. The last two shelves are my
daughters. One of them reads
all-American like I am and the other is like Reiko--some
He
took out the cross and looks at it with a sad face.
Cameron: (speaks slowly) I do not know how many
"thank you’s" I'm saying
to
Reiko. I said it time and time again,
but it's still not enough. I asked
her
to make a cross not just for me, but to my late father--my real father.
I
remembered it like it was only yesterday.
While I was 13, the members
of
the Pallet Rebellion and I were going to the
about to challege Sabrina for a Marsh Badge. She was spooked when she
saw
me thinking that I'm not from this world.
She was right; I'm came from
the
real, unanimated Earth in
showing me and everyone else an image of my old hometown. Lord, I'm missed
that. She forgave me and then she
made it up, as I requested her to see how
my
dad's doing since I haven't seen him for weeks.
(sniffs and eyes
watering) She puts her hands on my face again... (sniffs
again as voice
breaks) and then...and then... there's this huge traffic jam in the
highway...
and
in the middle there's a car wreck and one of them looks like my dad's.
Then
some medics rolled somebody in the stretcher... and I saw in fear who
was
on it. I couldn't believe it at first,
but then...a medic came to a
policeman...and then...he said those seven words that never left in my
mind.
(pauses for about seven seconds as tears comes out) "I'm
sorry. But this
man
is dead." (sobs
softly for ten seconds) My father--the only family I
have in the world... gone...forever...just like my real mother. She died
while I was only two.
He
cries some more for almost a minute. He
knew and feared what will
happen to his father since his mom died, and he will be homeless and without
a
family. The kind-hearted boy's fears
came true; he will be all alone in his
hometown with a bunch of strange people and traffic all around him. It pains
him
just thinking about it. He felt
something hugging his leg. He looked
down and saw
Poképals
comforting their sad trainer. Cameron
picked up his first Pokémon
and
hugged him tight, but not too tight.
Cameron: Thank you,
with the story) Anyway, that was the most traumatic day of my life. Sabrina
gave me a room so I can be alone to cry.
I haven't spoken or eaten for three
days straight. With
a little support of my friends... (rubs
and
some food, Sabrina used her psychic power to give me the news for the
future if I went back to the real world.
It will be a gruesome one, and I
get
shot and die at age 31. Shocking, isn't
it? So I made an important
decision, and I'm willing stay in the Pokémon world. After I won the Marsh
Badge,
when we get rid of Team Rocket, Jenny--who's my adopted mother now—
will make me a citizen in Pallet.
Soon, their whole evil organization, their
former boss Giovanni, and the psychic-menace Mewtwo
are no more. The ooze
from Mewtwo started to bubble and I thought it
was he was coming back for
revenge, and when it comes out it's none other then the legendary Mew. He
told us in the past he was captured by Giovanni, and he and his scientists
experimented him making Mew into Mewtwo. We freed him and he repays us
to
make Pallet Town back to its beautiful, peaceful place. That's one of the
miracles we've seen... (smiles) and then another one
happened. Mew had a
message from me from heaven, and there's my real dad as an angel. He knew
about the car accident I saw, the world I live in, and my future in the real
world. He told me to treat my new
family right, eat my vegetables, read the
bible... (taps at the big book on the furthest left
of his shelf) every night
and
pray, and always think of him in any future Pokémon journeys. After
a
couple years, we're off to Ryooku for yet another
journey; Jessie, James,
and
Meowth returned with a vengeance; met and joined
Tracey on our quest;
reunited with Reiko--who was my girlfriend at that time; saw new Pokémon
and
caught some, met some friendly people and their Pokémon; I battled eight
tough gym leaders; and I won the Ryooku
League. Several months later, we
saved
Rocket
with help from our of our friends like Leo Patra,
second gym leader
from the
and
the three legendary beast brothers: Entei, Suicune, and Raikou. During
the
down while the pilot was Nurse Joy.
My dad wanted me to be a librarian when
I
grow up, but for my heroics, I have been assigned to one half of the gym
leaders in Pallet. (looks
up at the sky) Dad, I dedicate this mini-library
to
you, and you gave me strength during the gym battles. Whether I win,
lose, or draw, I will never give up, give the trainers good sportsmanship,
and
I continue to make you proud. (kisses the cross and held it to his
heart) I always love you and miss you, Dad.
He
puts it back on the stand, took off his thin glasses, and wipes the tears
off
his blurry, green eyes.
Cameron: (sniffs) Sorry, everyone. I always do that when I was reflecting
my
memories, and I also apologize for taking so long. Maybe if we see
Mew
again, he'll let me speak to Dad more and probably Mom, too. It's
been too long since I've seen her; I wonder what she looks like and also
if
she still remembers me. I miss her so
much as I miss Dad. (puts
his
glasses back on) OK, we're done the library, and in this door is the
smallest bathroom. Here, I show you.
He
walks to couple feet from the cabinet, opens the door and...
Cameron: See?
Just a small room with a toilet, some tissue, a sink, a
mirror, some hand soap, and a towel.
This is where I usually go after I
went home from the gym before dinner time.
He
closes the door and he speaks to
Cameron: Are you ready to go upstairs?
Cameron: (to the camera) OK, follow us to the second
floor.
We
follow them back to the family room, ran up the stairs into the small
hallway with four doors--two on one side, two in the other. They approached
the
nearest one on the right.
Cameron: This enters my daughters' room. Right now they're in school and
they graduate when they are ten. The
reason that soon is because the school
can
let the students to be off on their Pokémon journeys. They have to take
a
Pokémon license test first. If they
pass, they will leave after the
graduation. If they fail, they stay in
school for one more year.
Cameron
opens the door and he,
medium-sized room with bunk beds, some windows, a tall dresser drawer,
and
a desk with these essentials: a 15-inch
TV, VCR, a 10 x 16 (in inches)
boombox, a small videophone, a
digital alarm clock, and a CD holder that
hold 36 CDs. The walls are painted
in big, horizontal lines of purple and
sand brown with frames with sketches anime pictures all over. Cameron
takes out on of the many pictures of his daughters--it's located on the back
of
the door--and shows it to the camera.
Cameron: These are my daughters. They're twins, but they have the looks
from us. The one on the left with
glasses on is Cindy and the other one
who’s younger by 12 minutes is Yuffie. Yuffie likes her
hair long, but
Cindy's
more of a tomboy.
He
puts the picture back on the door and speaks as the camera looks around
the
room.
Cameron: They did everything together, shared together--except
their beds,
they went to the same school, and they love each other very much like real
sisters should. I'm not sure if they
argue or not, but if they do, that
shows how much they care. They're
eager to go on a journey. They knew
all
of the Pokémon in Kanto and some in the Johto
region. Cindy is going
to
be like me--the greatest Pokémon master this world ever seen and Yuffie
is
going to capture as many grass and fighting-type Pokémon as possible.
Seeing
after her mother loving and taking great care of the plants and her
Bellossom, Yuffie also has an interest in fighting
types and she have her
ninja skills to prove that she is as much of what Reiko said "kunoichi"
as
her
mother. Now, as they start packing, they
bring some clothes, their food,
some money--it's a good thing the Pokédexes has Pokédollars in them--some
Pokémon
and medical supplies, a couple of portable CDs holders, and Cindy's
CD
walkman so they lend it to each other so they can listen to music while
traveling. Speaking of music, let's take
a look at some of the CDs they
bought.
He
and Sandy walk towards the CD holder.
Cameron: The top half are
Cindy's and she music from Britney Spears, Hilary
Duff, and Avril Lavigne. She also collected Kidz
Bop albums 1-4 and she's
thinking of buying a Beyoncé album and a Kidz Bop 5.
Cameron
took out one of the CD cases from Cindy's half and holds it toward
the
camera.
Cameron: This is Nelly Furtado's
second album, I think. It's called
"Folklore," and Cindy told me that her theme song is in
the ninth track
right here:
"Powerless." I heard
her sing that one almost everyday.
He
puts it the CD back in and took another one out.
Cameron: And this is the teen pop music group called
Dream. Cindy listens
to
it almost all the time. I heard her
singing this track here. It's called
"Crazy" featuring Loon. (Quick author's note: I know the album "Reality"
isn't here yet, so I made in the Pokémon world.) She dedicates this song to
the
one she's crazy about, Max, who is the son of Ash Ketchum--my hero,
my
co-gym leader, and my best friend.
Cameron: (to
My best human friend.
whole world. There's just no one to
replace this bond of friendship, trust,
and
teamwork between human and Pokémon as that blond-haired kid--now in
a
not-too-much-older body. They did
everything together from their Kanto
journey to where
out
of his Pokéball, and he's even been the ring bearer
on Cameron and
Reiko's
wedding.
Cameron: (back to the camera) Well,
the only problem for her is that she
didn't have the courage to admit her feelings towards him. Maybe she will
when she's a little older, but she can't bottle it up forever. Continuing
on,
the
right side belongs to Yuffie and she has more J-pop
than US songs.
For
training, she uses fast-pace songs, and for her mediation or cool down,
she
either leaves the music alone or puts on some soft music. When they
come back from their journey, we're planning a surprise welcome home party,
and
we're giving them a karaoke system as a present.
The
camera shows some anime drawings.
Cameron: My daughters' favorite subject is art. They have different kind
of
arts in the school. Cindy is a pretty
good singer, but she's the best in
drawing pictures. She has drawn from
the girls of "Sailor Moon" to the
boys on "Dragonball Z" and other anime
shows like "Cardcaptors," "Ruroni
Kenshin," Tenchi and the girls, "Yu-Gi-Oh!," and more. She also drew us
as
a family, Reiko and I, some of herself and Yuffie,
her friends from school
and
not from school, and a self-portrait. (camera shows a pretty sketch of
Cindy
without her glasses which made it even prettier) She has four favorite
Pokémon
on the walls: Sandshrew
being #1...
Cameron: Pikachu at #2 and a
tie between Teddiursa and Eevee
in third. Her
sister, by the way, has a voice of an angel.
Yuffie sings in a beautiful
soprano, both in Japanese and American.
She learned herself to sing when
she
was about five or six years old and she's a quick study. I think we have
daughters who have skills as Pokémon trainers and talent in the future.
Well,
that's their room and we're heading to the second bathroom. (to
You're
coming with me, buddy?
Cameron: Oops, I always keep forgetting--you're not
comfortable around
water. Sorry about that.
Cameron: (to the camera) Right this way.
We follow
him to a door opposite of their room. He
opens the door and it
shows...
Cameron: It's similar to the first one, but it has a
little more room for a
small tub with a shower. I'm sorry
there isn't much to see here. Don't
worry. Once you see our third, you'll
be either surprised or jealous, but
not
too jealous, please.
He
closes the door and calls out his Sandshrew.
Cameron: Hey,
Sandy: (runs to his trainer/friend) Sandshrew.
We
follow at the second door on the right side. Cameron opens the door
and
inside it is a room as the same size as the girls'.
Cameron: We have a queen size daybed, a 24-inch TV, a
small glass table
for
food and/or drink, and a small shelf filled with books on the side wall.
Ash
and Misty--which is his wife now for 11 years--have
been our house
lots of times, and sometimes they spend the night in this room. Not only
it's their "spend the night" room, but I'm not sure if Reiko and
I are having
another baby. If we do, it's his or her
room.
They
left the room and they walk toward the final door.
Cameron: This is my and Reiko's bedroom. I think this is where the fun
really starts.
The
door opens to a room big enough for a large window covered with
curtains and a long, beautiful red certain sheet with little golden Japanese
words on it, a tall and wide dresser in four drawers, a huge, thin black TV
and
DVD system on one side and on the another is a king size bed and night
stand with a regular-sized videophone and alarm clock on top of it. There's
someone on the bed and that someone is...
Cameron: (surprised) Reiko? What are you doing here?
Reiko: (smiles flirtatiously) Is
your mind the speed of a Slowking, Came-
chan? Not yours, I assume.
Cameron: I guess time went by while I'm touring. You're done with the
garden already?
Reiko: (nods) Hai. (get
off the bed and approached him) So, are you done
with the house? Since our daughters
are away, we have plenty of time so
I
can spend with you.
Cameron: Just let me to this room and wait, OK?
Reiko: (sighs discouraged) All right.
Cameron: That's my girl.
He
rewards his wife with a quick but passionate kiss for her patience and
love.
Cameron: Take a look at the ceiling. (camera looks
up) On either side of
the
fan you see the
of
those flags any stores in this world, so I drew the flags the best way I
can
and after that, the carpenter copied and painted them. Those flags are
from the real world. (camera back to the couple) We made this room half
plasma TV, the DVD system, a dresser filled with normal clothes, and this.
He
pulls out a DVD video case from a holder on top of the dresser.
Cameron: "Princess Mononoke"--our
favorite movie. We watched it while
we
were in our honeymoon on
chewing some meat and fed to the hero who got injured, I did not have a
chance to watch the rest of the movie because of (points to Reiko) her.
Reiko: (smiles flirtatiously again) Oh, are you
talking about the piece of
bread I gave you from my mouth to yours and then, for the first time in our
lives, we...
Cameron: (covers her mouth with his hand while
blushing uncontrollably
with lots of anime sweatdrops covering his face)
Uh, Reiko, not in front of
the
camera, please!
He
remembered when Cameron told the story about the honeymoon, but his
trainer didn't say what happen to himself and his wife about their
unforgettable night.
Cameron: Besides, we're going to our master bathroom
next.
We
follow Cameron as he opens the door towards a large bathroom while he
went inside and gives us the details.
Cameron: We have two sinks in one table, a long line
of vanity mirrors and
they double as doors for medicine cabinets, a clean toilet--thanks to
Octillery--and (points at something) this.
He
points at nice, big tub.
Cameron: It's a size of a small Jacuzzi, enough for
two people. Reiko and I
went to this tub in some nights if we have time. Sometimes we take bubble
baths. (blushes)
Reiko does look very sexy in a tub
filled with bubbles, and
when she even took off her braid, she looks like an Asian goddess.
He
closes the door and walks toward his wife and his best friend.
Cameron: (to Reiko) Well, Moonray,
you have the control of the camera
now. You want the fans to show something, right?
Reiko: (Yep, that smile again) Like us in a romantic
embrace?
Cameron: (blushes again) I meant in the basement.
Reiko: Oh, I see.
(to the camera) Follow us.
We
follow them out the second floor back to the family room. From there
she
opens a small trap door on the floor near the stairs. They walk down a
smaller stairway and she turns on the light.
We're in a room filled with
dumbbells, weapons, and a large wrestling mat.
Reiko: This is our training room. I insisted my Came-chan
and our daughters
to
exercise and learn the martial arts. We
have dumbbells to strengthen our
arms, a wresting mat to endure our bodies, and learn how to use these
weapons.
Came-chan masters the bo
staff, Yuffie wields the daggers, and I fully have
control the weapons like my katana and sai. I own a small metal shop so I
can
create these weapons. This is for a
physical workout. For mediation I
lit
some candles that the smell relaxes the body, turn the lights off, and
form a circle as we sat in Indian style.
Cameron: Besides me and the family, the training room,
and her garden,
Reiko
dreams of owning a martial arts dojo for people and Pokémon. She
does not know how, though.
Reiko: (sadly) I do not know the location or how I
run it.
Cameron: (putting his hand on Reiko's shoulder) Don't worry about it,
Moonray. You know it when the time is right. Remember, you're not alone
in
this. You have all our support. (to his best friend)
Right, Sandy?
Cameron: (looks deeply on Reiko's red eyes) Don't give up on your dreams;
they might come true someday. You
married me, you have two beautiful girls,
and
you made a big, beautiful garden. You
made those fantasies into
realities. Let's make this one, too. Is that a promise?
Reiko: (smiles a real, normal smile this time with
tears of joy running from
her
eyes to her lovely cheeks) I swear on my ninja's honor I will make this
work. You said it time and time
again, but it always makes me feel better.
Arigato, my love.
Cameron: (smiles while wiping her tears) Always being
the pleasure.
They
give each other a small, soft kiss and then the beautiful kunoichi
kneeled down and kiss the top of the head of her husband's Sandshrew.
Reiko: (smiles) You, too,
Sandy-san.
And
they left the training room.
Cameron: (to the camera) There's
one more thing I like to show you guys
outside. Come on.
We
fellow the threesome out the front door and walk towards a green mini-
van
inside the car porch.
Cameron: This is the family car: the Kia Sportage. Reiko picked
this one
for
a reason.
Reiko: (to her husband, blushing) It has the same
green color as your
emerald eyes, Came-chan.
Cameron: (smiles shyly) Uh...that's true. (back to the camera)
Anyway, we
use
this SUV if we want to go to a restaurant, go on vacations, or whatever.
I
use my Crobat, Batty, for transportation to the gym
and back.
Cameron
took out a Pokéball from his belt. It's a size of a marble, but once
he
presses the button in the middle, the ball expands into a size of a
baseball. He pressed the button again, the ball splits open, and a flash of
white light explodes from the ball.
The light form something tall and it
reveals a 5'11" tall purple bat with yellow eyes and dark pupils, a
toothy
mouth, and a wing from each corner (actually the two on the top are longer
than the two on the bottom). Around
its waist is a rope tied like a belt and
on
the other end is a heavy boulder on the ground.
Cameron: (to his Pokémon) Say hi, Batty.
Batty: (bows at the camera) Crobat.
Cameron: (back to the camera) She
spends most of the time in her Pokéball
because she didn't like the sun too much nor she stays in the gym with the
other Pokémon. I tied the rope from
her waist to the boulder which is twice
her
weight. We started from small rocks and
move it up. It was hard at
first, but it's good for her training.
Once we took off her "training belt,"
she
flies farther and faster than normal.
Nurse Joy gave me some vitamins
that I can put into her food so that Batty can recover her stamina quickly
after her long, hard flights.
Here's
the recap: we saw the family room; the
kitchen; the laundry room;
the
backyard including
the
mini-library; the smallest bathroom; Cindy and Yuffie's
room; the bigger
bathroom; the guest room; Cameron and Reiko's bathroom; the master bathroom;
the
training room; and finally the car.
Cameron,
Reiko, and their Pokémon are gathered in the front yard.
Cameron:
Well, we enjoyed showing the house to you.
We thank you for being
here with us, it's been fun. Now,
we're waiting for the school bus for our
daughters. I think this is where you’re
leaving. See you around.
Reiko:
(bows to the camera) Sayonara.
Slowie: (also waves) Bye-bye.
The
Pokémon say goodbye in their language as the camera started to back
away slowly from the house. We wait
for a few seconds and then Octillery
affectionately tackles Cameron again by surprise, then Reiko joins in, and
the
Pokémon take him down the grass playfully.
Cameron: (straining and mumbling) Hey, guys, can you
please get off of me?
Reiko: (wines playfully) But we want to play with
you, Came-chan.
Cameron: But aren't we supposed to wait for Cindy and Yuffie? They might
come in any minute.
Reiko: (smiles flirtatiously again) Then we must
make every second count.
Reiko
kisses Cameron and he deepened it with more passion. The Pokémon
looked and sighs happily at the married couple as they leave them alone and
go
back to do their tasks as the scene faces to black.
The
scene shows "coming up..." with a huge house in the view.
Me: (as narrator) We'll
see how the Pokémon master and his family made a
living in this house...after the break (or wait for the next chapter).
***********************************************************************
End of "Cameron's Crib."
Thanks
for reading my one of three parts of the story.
Now for the words
that they are underlined.
1.
"The kitchen is the heart of the home" is on a rug my mom brought.
2.
I heard from a game show called "Hollywood Squares" that when
Japanese
people wear kimonos with sleeves about five or six inches from the wrists,
they're officially married.
3. Kunoichi is
Japanese for "female ninja" or "girl assassin." Reiko is more
of
a girl assassin when she joined Team Rocket.
4.
I'm not certain that the currency in the Pokédexes
are called Pokédollars.
I
have not play the game much and I did not pay much attention to the
Pokédollar sign. If anybody knows what it looks like, and if
the sign comes
before or after the numbers, e-mail me, please.
5.
A katana is a Japanese sword that has a single edge and is slightly curved
toward the point.
6.
A sai is a small trident. For Cullen, Bellossom
Boy, and the readers, if
you
seen "Teenager Mutant Ninja Turtles," these are the weapons Rapael use.
He
has two; Reiko, on the other hand, has one.
My
e-mail address EJONES914@aol.com. Use something with "story" or
"Cribs"
on
the subject. I have a lot of junk mail
and am planning to delete them for
good. I'll be back for the next part
soon. It might take a while because I
only go on the computer or Internet in the weekends. If I make any spelling
errors, grammar, or punctuation, let me know.
