Chapter 20 - Chapter 20: Meeting With Water Flowers Of Cerulean City

[Soon...]

(she and her Pokemon walk inside.)

(Inside the building, there are a crowd of people sitting on bleachers as they see a large pool with lights shining from above.)

(Mew and her Pokemon walk inside and are shocked to see so many people in one building.)

(The announcer says on the speakers.)

The announcer: "Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the stars of our show, The Sensational Cerulean City Synchronized Swimming Sisters!"

[Soon...]

(the lights shine on a high diving board to see three girls on top.)

(The one on the left has long blonde hair, green eyes, and wears a red swimsuit.)

(The one in the middle has long indigo hair, brown eyes, and wears a green swimsuit.)

(And the one on the right has pink short hair, blue eyes, and wears an orange swimsuit with a blue ribbon on top, and red ribbons on the bottom.)

(She soon hears the crowd shouting their names.)

the crowd: "Lily, Violet, and Daisy!"

(Mew and her Pokemon are confused, and yet interested to see what they're going to do.)

(The three girls then jump from the diving board, perform tricks, and splash into the water.)

(The girls are under water and perform swimming dances.)

Mew: "Hmm, I thought this was a Pokemon Gym."

(Mew replies.)

(Pikachu and Eevee are too amazed by the performance.)

(Mew continues to watch the performance and amazed by it too.)

[Soon...]

(the three girls finish their performance and the crowd goes wild.)

(The three girls exit the pool and wave to the people in the audience.)

(After the show, Mew is rather confused about what she has seen.)

Mew: "I can't understand it."

(Mew says, confused.)

(She then notices a large display of windows and looks around to see many different Water Pokemon swimming around.)

(Suddenly, she hears a female voice.)

???: "The crowd was totally awesome!"

(Then another.)

???: "I know, that was so great!"

(Mew and her Pokemon turn their heads to see the three girls.)

indigo haired girl: "Daisy, the dive you did was super,"

(The indigo haired girl says.)

(Then the blonde hair girl says.)

???: "The practice really paid off."

pink haired girl: "Totally,"

(The pink haired girl agrees.)

(Then all three laugh.)

(Mew walks over and asks.)

Mew: "Um, excuse me."

(The three sisters stop to see Mew and her Pokemon walking to them.)

(The pink hair girl says.)

pink hair girl: "I'm sorry, but if you want an interview, you have to, like, call our manager."

Mew: "No, I'm not here for that."

(Mew says.)

(The Pink hair girl then says.)

Pink hair girl: "We don't do autographs."

Mew: "No. Not that either. I'm actually I was wondering if this is the Pokemon City Gym."

(Mew replies.)

blonde girl: "It sure is,"

(The blonde girl answers.)

Mew: "Okay, do you know where the gym leader is?"

(Mew asks.)

The Blonde girl: "You're looking at them?"

(The Blonde girl answers.)

(Mew becomes confused.)

(The Blonde girl says.)

The Blonde girl: "The three of us are the gym trainers here."

Lily: "We're the Sensational Sisters. The Blonde is Daisy. The blue is Violet. And I'm Lily."

(The pink hair girl says.)

(Then the indigo hair girl says.)

indigo hair girl: "We're world famous."

Mew: "You are? But why were you three swimming and well, performing?"

(Mew asks.)

(The pink hair girl, Lily says.)

Lily: "It's, like, our hobby and our fans love to watch us perform."

Violet: "We pool our talents to make a big splash."

(The indigo girl, Violet says.)

(Then the three girls laugh.)

[After that...]

(the three sisters, Mew and her Pokemon are in front of the pool.)

Mew: "Well now that you're here. I ask you if I can challenge you to a battle."

(Mew says.)

Pikachu: "Pika!"

(Pikachu says.)

Eevee: "Eevee!"

(Eevee says.)

[However...]

(the three sisters don't seem to be interested.)

(Mew and her Pokemon look at them with confused looks on their faces.)

(Daisy answers.)

Daisy: "We don't feel much like battling anymore."

Mew: "What do you mean?"

(Mew asks, confused.)

Violet: "We just got beaten twice in a row by kids from this nowhere place called Pallet Town."

(Violet says.)

Mew: "Guess I missed Gary."

(Mew mutters.)

(Violet continues.)

Violet: "It was just one defeat and then another. My eyes were spinning from the losses."

Daisy: "We had to, like, practically rush all our Pokemon to the Pokemon Center."

(Daisy says.)

Lily: "This is the only one left."

(Lily says, bringing out a Pokeball.)

(She drops it to the ground and Goldeen appears.)

Mew: "So Goldeen is the only one left?"

(Mew says.)

(She brings out her Pokedex, and Dexter says.)

Dexter: "Goldeen, the Goldfish Pokemon. A Water Type. Goldeen loves swimming wild and free in rivers and ponds. If one of these Pokémon is placed in an aquarium, it will shatter even the thickest glass with one ram of its horn and make its escape."

(Then Lily calls it back in it's Pokeball.)

Violet: "If only it would evolve into Seaking, we could use it, but all it can do now is its Horn Attack."

(Violet says.)

Daisy: "So, like, there's no point in battling."

(Daisy says.)

Lily: "Now, instead of having matches, we have time to make ourselves look more beautiful than ever."

(Lily says.)

(Mew mutters.)

Mew: "What let down."

[Suddenly...]

(Daisy says.)

Daisy: "I know what you want."

(Then calls out.)

Daisy: "Seel!"

(Coming out of the water is Pokemon.)

(It hops out and lands on the side of the pool.)

(The Pokemon is a pinniped Pokémon with a thick hide covered in bluish-white fur.)

(It has a pale tan maw with a large red tongue and a pair of tusks on its lower jaw.)

(It has circular eyes and a black nose.)

(There is a small horn on its forehead, two flippers on its chest, and two more on the end of its tail.)

Mew: "Aw, it's a Seel."

(Mew says.)

(Then pulls out her Pokedex, Dexter says.)

Dexter: "Seel the Sea Lion Pokemon. A Water Type. Although it can't walk well on land, it is a graceful swimmer. It especially loves being in frigid seas."

(The Seel sticks its tongue out to reveal a badge that resembles light blue raindrop.)

(Daisy takes it out and presents it to Mew.)

Daisy: "A Cascade Badge. This is what you want, right? You can have it."

(Skeptic Mew says.)

Mew: "Thanks, but I would rather earn our badges."

Daisy: "Take it. A badge is a badge. Here."

(Daisy says.)

(Mew feels very skeptic about it then says.)

Mew: "I'm afraid I can't accept it."

(That makes the three sisters confused.)

(Soon Mew says.)

Mew: "I do appreciate you wanting to give me a badge, but I really want to earn my badge in a battle with my Pokemon. I may not know too much about gym battles, but I feel that a badge is the result of hours of training from a trainer and Pokemon. If we won the badge through battle then, there's a sense of accomplishment. And just being handed a badge like that, well, it just doesn't feel right."

???: "I'm glad you think so!

(A familiar voice says.)

(Mew, Pikachu, Eevee, and the three sisters turn their heads to see Misty.)

Mew: "Misty?!

(Mew says, surprised.)

(Misty then jumps off the stands and lands in front of the sisters.)

Misty: "Alright, Daisy. If you don't want to battle them, I will!"

(Hearing that Mew comes to realize.)

Mew: "Misty, are you saying that you're actually one of the Cerulean Gym Leaders?!"

(Misty says.)

Misty: "I'm sorry for not telling you about it before, Mew. But now, I'm telling you right here and now that I'm a Cerulean City trainer, too. I am the fourth Sensational Sister!"

(Suddenly, Lily says.)

Lily: "There are only three Sensational Sisters and one runt."

(Misty growls in anger.)

(Daisy then says.)

Daisy: "So, little sister, it's a surprise to see you back so soon."

Violet: "That little girl with the big mouth who said she wouldn't come back till she was a great Pokemon trainer, wasn't that you?"

(Violet says.)

Misty: "I guess I did say something like that when I left."

(Misty says.)

(Suddenly, Lily says.)

Lily: "Misty, you left here pretending you wanted to become a Pokemon trainer because you couldn't compare with us because we're obviously much more talented and beautiful then you are."

Misty: "That wasn't the reason!"

(Misty yells, shouting at her sisters.)

(Mew kneels to Pikachu and Eevee, then whispers.)

Mew: "I'm starting to see why Misty is against us coming here. Her sisters aren't being very nice to her."

(Suddenly they hear Daisy saying to Misty.)

Daisy: "Well then, I guess, like, you came back because you couldn't make it as a Pokemon trainer."

(Suddenly Mew says.)

Mew: "Hold on, Misty was with me when we were traveling. I'm the one who insisted on coming here to have a battle. But it looks like I'm not going to have one with you three."

(Then turns to Misty.)

Mew: "Alright Misty, I ask for an official Pokemon Gym Match."

(Misty smiles with determination.)

Misty: "Okay Mew, I accept your challenge. Ready to rumble?"

Mew: "Let's do it."

(Mew says.)
