No one ever said that Karen Phose was the smartest person in the world. Her blatant idiocy had gotten her into a ,literal, sticky situation. Purple goo coated her aqua hair and the exposed parts of her clothes would be permanently stained. But hwat did that matter to her? She was helping after all.

It had started almost as soon as she signed up to join the Rez Pax, a team that was dedicated to salvaging the remains of the land. She thought. After being given her own Pokemon, a Aaken she called Monty, the scrawny seventeen year old set out to make the world a better place. But what could one girl and bird do? She could clean. Protecting the land was important, ne? And where was the best place to clean? Why, a sewage plant that had fallen inti disrepair, of course! Never mind all of the toxins and chemicals that could kill her, with some rubber gloves and a dream she could do it.

Or so she told herself.

The truth was, the place was in horrible shape. It lived up to its name and was, in fact, defunct. The walls of the old building were either crumbling or had already fallen, a smelly fog hung over the immediate area, the ground around was wet with a suspicious green liquid, and everything else was dead or dying. A small stream, dirty and stained with filth, would be the best place to start.

And so, humming a jolly tune and trying not to breathe out her nose, she strolled over to the mucky waters and pushed her arms in up to the elbows. The water was a lot thicker than it should have been, but the bright pink gloves that went up to her shoulders didn't let her feel much. Eventually she grappled onto something and pulled it out. It was a Magikarp, which were notable for living almost anywhere. Ignoring the fact it was orange and had three eyes, she scrubbed it clean with a brush and some dish soap she had brought along, then threw it back out into the grime. Pointless, but Karen was convinced it was something good.

She continues to do this- pulling out a mutated Magikarp, scrubbing it clean, then throwing it back- for a few minutes. It was only when she had 'washed' fourteen fish did she notice how quiet it was. No problem! Smile still intact, she pulled a small small music player and a beastly set of headphones out. Turning it on, she pulled the ear pieces over her, well, ears and turned it up full blast. After this she proceeded to bathe the Magikarp again, only this time with a song to sing.

This was another problem; No one ever said that Karen Phose was the best singer in the world either.

Unnoticed to her, after five minutes of her horrid vocals something began to stir in the nearby ruins. It burbled and gurgled and roared, but Karen was in her own little world. Whatever it was slunk out of a large hole and oozed up closer to the girl. The next thing she knew, she was covered in purple goop and it was dark. Dazed, she glanced around. A roof was over her head, but only just; she could see stars blazing through missing pieces of ceiling. Odd. It should still have been morning. She was on her back, so the girl pushed herself into a sitting position. Her vision wavered, and her head felt both light and like it was about to explode. She brought her hand up to her head, but immediately pulled it back when she felt something sticky in her hair.

"Hello?" Her voice was met by silence. Karen got to her feet, but almost fell over again: Something slick was underfoot. She looked around again, hoping to find some answers to what was going on. It looked like she was in the plant, but how had she gotten there? Puzzling over this, she picked her way over piles of debris to a promising hole in the wall.

"GRI! GIRMER GRIME!" A large creature made of the same glop that coated her slithered out from behind the hole. It was bright purple, but but it had two eyes and a large mouth. It stretched out the sides of its body, making oozing limbs. It was absolutely terrifying. Karen did the only thing she could think to do at the moment. She screamed. It echoed throughout the abandoned building, making the quiet stiller, more threatening.

Luckily, it also did one other thing. The Pokeball that rested on her hip popped, and a red light escaped from it. A small, colorful bird fluffed out his feathers and hissed at his Trainer for disturbing his nap. He bared his sharp fangs and unsheathed his claws. He had no intention of hurting the girl, but he was irritable when awakened. He was satisfied by her terrified expression, but then noticed she was staring behind him and not at him. He turned, in just enough time to be hit with an orb of slime. It burned, but he was rocky and tough, so he wiped it off and lunged.

"Mo-Monty! Protect me!" Karen's cry was unheard; the little Aaken was to busy flinging stones at the other Pokemon. For the most part they either bounced off or were absorbed into the other Pokemon, but some hit it in the eyes. It cried out when a particularly large one smashed into it. To retaliate, it pulled a large hunk of dirt from the ground, packed it tight, and threw it at Monty.

The ball hit, bit slid off harmlessly; He was part Flying type, and Ground moves like Mud Bomb didn't hurt him. He chuckled, then hissed again and spread his wings wide. They seemed to sheen with razor sharpness, and he let out a loud battle cry and charge at the Grimer. It was a direct hit that sawed the Pokemon in two. Monty grinned and shook some of the grime off his wings. He was very surprised when something cracked down hard on his back, knocking him over. It seemed the other Pokemon still lived, and was slowly pulling itself back together.

He hobbled up, and charged at the filth Pokemon with impressive speed. He chomped down hard on it, shaking his head from side to side so he could tear at his opponent. It cried out in anguish and he growled viciously, purple ooze sliding out from between his teeth. He picked up another rock, fully prepared to bash its head in, as it flailed about helplessly. A sharp cried of victory tore out of the little bird as he smashed the rock down....

Only to have it shatter on the floor. A red and white ball shook back and forth, and as he watched it teetered to a stop. He growled, then looked up at his Trainer. Her eyes were wide, shell-shocked. The goop on her had dried somewhat, and was cracking in places. She gulped, then slowly walked over to ball and picked it up. She unhinged another ball from her hip - his ball- and called him back.

"Good.... job?" She spoke to Monty's ball. She was very confused. What had just happened? Did her Pokemon almost kill another one? Maybe... maybe that was what happened when you revived Pokemon from fossils; they were more vicious than normal. He had looked delighted by the fact he was about to end that other Pokemon, even as it tried to run away. Perhaps..... she could train it out of him?

That was it, then. Grinning, Karen went to the hole and went outside. She made her way back the way she had came. Making her way back to her home.

To be continued. Had to post what I have because electricity is treating to go out, and I don't want to lose this. Sorry if it inconveniences.

Edit: Finished it and stuffs. Electricity didn't go out, but its better to be safe than sorry, ne? Is finished now and all of that good stuff. I didn't say the names of the moves used so much as described them, but I'll list them just in case. They were (in order): Sludge, Rock Throw, Mud Bomb, Wing Attack, Pound, and Rock Throw. =)
