It was some time before a small Vulpix with an
even smaller girl entered
the gates of Saffron City. Karuko sat down, an action that caused
the
rider to tumble off and fall flat on the ground.
"Ouch! Next time, warn me Karuko!"
"Vulpix." (Sorry.)
"Whatever you said."
Cajava climbed back up onto Karuko, the safest place the modern
version
of Thumbelina could be. Karuko continued walking yuntil they
reached an
ominous building. Karuko shuddered at the memory of what happened
the
last time they entered Sabrina's Gym. It was Sabrina that
transformed
the Cerulean native into a Vulpix, and shrunk down Cajava to her
new
size. All of it just because they failed to win in battle. Karuko
shok
herself, and the Great Ball attached to her collar fel,off and
opened
up. A purple ghost appaered.
"Haw haw haunter!" cried the ghost, striking a pose
worthy of the Ginyu
Force from Dragoniteball Z.
Cajava and Karuko sweatdropped. "Just what we need, an otaku
Ghost."
Calling it back before the Ghost caused a scene, they entered the
Gym.
Carefully, they searched thorugh, watching the many hopeful
psychics try
their luck at bending spoons and choosing cards. Finally, they
entered
the temple that was called a Gym Arena. Sabrina appeared on the
other
side.
"So now... you've finally decided to return. I would have
known about
you earlier, but my mind was on other things. In suppose you want
your
normal forms back. Well, al you have to do is beat my
Kadabra." A
Pokéball floated from behind her and landed on the Gym floor,
then
released the Psychic type. "Just be warned, another loss wil
result in
you two joining my doll collection...permanently!" In
additon to her
voice, Sabrina added a quick Psychic push, causing Cajava to fall
off,
and the Great Ball to topple on the ground.
"Haunter!" it cried, and started laughing out loud. The
Ghost floated to
the center of the Arena, and proceeded to blow itself up with a
bomb.
Sabrina laughed.
"Just as funny as the Haunter Ash gave to me so long ago.
Now, let's
battle."
Cajava walked forward. Five minutes later, she had reached the
area
where the challenger stood. Karuko sweatdropped, then cried out,
"Let me
do it!" Cajava turned around at the sudden voice.
"Karuko? You can talk now?"
Sabrina responded. "This Ghost cannot hear your tiny voice,
Cajava, so i
gave Karuko her human speech back."
Karuko walked up to Cajava. "Haunter, Night Shade!"
After hesitating for
a moment, the Ghost swooped forward and Licked Kadabra, and thus
doing
absolutely nothing to hurt it!
"Oh no! It's doesn't want to obey! Try Hypnosis!"
haunter flew up to the
ceiling and proceeded to bang its head a few times, then used
Night
Shade. The beam flew down to Kadabra, who fired a Psybeam in
response.
The attacks met, and both pokémon kept the beams going, and it
looked
very much likje a battle on Draginteball Z. Finally, the two
Pokémon
stopped firing, and both were tired.
"Kadabra, Recover." Kadabra regained its energy, and
launched a wave of
energy. Haunter started screming, and smashed its head again.
"Crap! Confuse Ray!"
Haunter recovered and launched a beam of light. Kadabra failed to
look
away, and started to play the spoons...on its head! Sabrina
sweatdropped.
"Kadabra, shake it off! I want my new dolls!" The
Psychic finished off
its musical interlude, but before it could do anything, a Night
Shade
came from nowhere. Kadabra flew back and laid there, down and
out!
Sabrina sighed, then called back her Kadabra. "Well, you
have beaten me.
and I shall keep my word. Karuko, Cajava, back to normal!"
The two girls
started to glow, then teleported out of the Gym. Cajava opened
her eyes
again andwa relieved to see she was normal size again! But
something was
wrong...
"Cajava, l-l-look in the window!" cried a very human,
very surprised
Karuko. Slowly, Cajava turned and saw her reflection. The right
side of
her physical self was the teen that Karuko knew, but the left
side was
exactly like Cajava's alter-ego, Ben!
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!"
Reply by Pipian:
"Who is that... that other person?"
asked Karuko. "There's nothing wrong
with me is there? HEY! We didn't get our
badges!"
"Uhh..." replied Cajava/Ben.

"Now can you plese explain this first?"
Karuko asked.
Cajava/Ben grimaced. "This... person is my alter-ego,
Ben." said Cajava
in both voices.
"Huh? I don't understand this."
"Noone does when they first see it. According to my late
mother this
has been happening my entire life. For some reason, every time my
skin
comes in contact with water, I change from Ben to Cajava and
vice-
versa. No doctor's been able to explain it. my Pokémon have
gotten used
to it, and have no problems taking orders from either
personality. But
it can cause problems. If you don't want to hang out with me
anymore
I'll understand."
Karuko let his/her words sink in. "this is the strangest
thing I've
ever seen, but you have to be crazy if you think I'll ditch you
like
that. You're a godd firend... I mean, friends."
The duo person sighed. "At last, someone who can accept me
for my
problem," she thought.
"So, any ideas on what we have to do to fix this
problem?" asked
Cajava/Ben.
