The Squirtle Story

CHAPTER ONE
I'm a Squirtle that has been abandoned by my trainer. He did do me a favor though. The creep gave me Metronome. It has been useful. Deep under water, where no human has been before because it was too deep, I have a job as a cartoonist. It gets me about 200 sea dollars for each good cartoon. I'm famous because I can speak English. I have rare talents such as I can make a seven-layer Bubble for air in space and make additional air packs if I run out of air, plus I can use Skull Bash to fly and use Tackle to hover. I was bored one day and decided to go to the arcade. I passed my I.D. card through the scanner. The I.D. card reads SQUIRTLE: #7 I.D. #80493. I played a couple games of Pokemon Pinball. Then suddenly, a Dewgong came in and said "DEW-DEW-DEW-GONG!" In English that means, "Freeze, this is a hold-up!" After that, he shot an Ice Beam. I was frozen! He put us all in a net, swam us up to the top of the water and gave us to some men on a boat. After I chewed my way out of the ice, I saw a man in a red suit. His men called him Giovanni. Whoever he was, I didn't like him. I knew he was from Team Rocket. Team Rocket is a group of Pokemon thieves. They captured us. There are only three Pokemon that can speak English and I’m one of them. If they kept me I wouldn't leave. It's going to be hard to get all of these water Pokemon across land and back into the water but I have to do it. I used my Bite attack to chew through the rope I was in. I had to think fast. There were guys with restraints all around me. I used Metronome: Ice Beam attack. Everybody around me was frozen. I had one plan...don’t speak English. I used Psychic with my Metronome attack to carry the Pokemon to the ocean. If I didn't get them there fast, a baby Magikarp was going to die from lack of water. I poured them all into the ocean. I jumped back into the ocean and swam to Shell Island, my home. I went in my shell and on the news, King Blastoise was interviewed. He said "BLAS BLAS BLAS TOISE TOISE BLAS." That means, "I’d like to thank Squirtle #80493 for saving most of my kingdom." "I’ll go to the palace!" I said. As I went to the palace, I told my best friends, Seadra and Mew, what happened. I went past the guards, showing them my I.D. Then I saw King Blastoise. I bowed and said, "SQUIRT SQUIRT SQUIRTLE SQUIRTLE SQUIRT," "You didn’t have to talk about me on the news." "BLAS BLAS TOISE BLAS TOISE BLAS BLAS!" "It was all my pleasure, Squirtle!" "SQUIRTLE!" "Thank you!" I forgot to tell you that the three Pokemon that can speak English are a Meowth (who doesn’t care about humans finding out), Mew, and me. I got on my skatebubble (a bubble that hovers above the ground and moves as if it were a skateboard) and went back to my territory and went in my shell. I went into my bedroom and went to sleep but I couldn’t sleep that well knowing that Team Rocket was still out there. Tomorrow, I am going to stop Team Rocket from causing more mayhem. I woke up the next morning and got ready. I knew where to find Mew after his visits here...space. I made a seven-layer bubble for air and to resist the pressure in space. I made some extra bubbles for air when I ran out. I used Skull Bash to take off. When I got into space I found Mew. I knew what I had to do. I asked him to help me. We went down to Celadon City’s Game Corner, Team Rocket’s lair. We snuck in to the part of Team Rocket's lair that was totally secret except for Mew and me. We are the only Pokemon who know about it. We went over to Giovanni’s room. "Giovanni, we challenge you to a match," I said, "If we win, you stop causing mayhem, if you win, you can own us both!" "Very well," he said. "Send out your Pokemon first!" I said. "Sure! I choose Mewtwo! Ready to lose, Mew?" "I'm ready to win!" Mewtwo wiped out Mew with one Psychic attack. "All right, I'm going to beat you fair and square," I said. I used a Blizzard attack and froze him. He easily broke out but I could tell that he was hurt bad. Then he used a Psychic attack. I quickly went into my shell. It didn't hurt me. I got back up and used another Blizzard. He dropped over. I had won. I then decided that he couldn’t be trusted on our deal. I used Vine Whip and wrapped him up. I brought him to the police station. He was cuffed and arrested. I received a plaque of honor from the police. Everybody was glad to see me when I got home. I wasn't surprised at all!
CHAPTER TWO
I was in my living room watching the news. A Seel was handing me a plaque for what I did last time but I wasn't there. That could be fixed. I popped my body out of my shell and used Skull Bash. I was there in a flash! I put it in my shell and used another Skull Bash home. I then later decided to go to shore to see what's changed. Humans would never think there was an advanced civilization under the water. Then I saw one of my friend's trainers. I went up to him to talk to his Squirtle but I couldn’t speak English in front of all those people. Then I remembered that Ash, Squirtle's trainer, could understand Pokemon language. "SQUIRT SQUIRTLE SQUIRTLE SQUIRT?" In English that means, "Can I talk to Squirtle, please?" "Sure," he said. "Squirtle, go!" "SQUIRTLE!" his Squirtle said. "SQUIRT SQUIRTLE!" "You look stronger!" I said. "SQUIRT SQUIRT SQUIRTLE!" "Strength will be useful." "SQUIRTLE." "I know." "Prepare for trouble..." a voice suddenly said. "And make it double," said another voice. "SQUIRTLE SQUIRT!" "Shut up!" I pointed an Ice Beam right at them. Boom! They were frozen and down for the count. Then Meowth used Fury Swipes to get out. Team Rocket threw a bomb at us that would explode any second. I had to think fast! "Everyone hold hands!" I said. I used Minimize. Everyone shrunk. I used Growth to get back to my normal size. I shoved them all in my shell and sealed up the holes. The bomb exploded and we were safe inside my shell. I let everyone out at their normal sizes. Then they all left, after saying thank you. These adventures gave me an idea for a new cartoon. The only thing is, I didn't know what to call it. I figured I would ask Seadra. "Hey Seadra could you..." "DEW DEW DEEEEEEWWWWW!" "Hey man you rocked!" "DEW DEW DEW DEW DEW!" "They should call you Super Squirtle!" "What?!" I said. "DEW DEW DEW DEW!" "I'm a cameraman now!" "You saw the whole thing and put it on tape for the news?" I asked. "But that name is cool! I could use that for my comics! Hey! I could become Super Squirtle and base my comics on real life!" "HOR SEA HOR SEA HOR!" "Team Rocket’s helicopter has spotted us!" Everyone evacuated underwater as fast as they could. Suddenly, Team Rocket sucked up all the water in that area! Then, they sucked up all the Pokemon! "This looks like a job for Super Squirtle!" I used Mega Punch to break the vacuum. They looked at me and looked confused. It was mainly because I was in a Superman outfit with a cape on. I took a deep breath and used Hydro Pump. Let's just say that they had to parachute back to shore. At work the next day a lot of people bought my comics. I felt good and looked good. Both of my jobs are done today.
