"Where is route two?" Reina walked along route 1 until she came to a waterway, that led across to another island. "Oh yea, the routes are seperated by water." she laughed.
"Mander." Blaze sighed.
Reina glanced over at Dundoo Island. "That would be one heck of a swim. Hey, maybe there's a boat?"
Suddenly there was a flash of light as Lapras appered from her pokeball.
"What are you doing out?" Reina asked.
Insteed of answering Lapras scooted herself into the water and made a motion with her fin.
"Oh I get it." Reina climbed onto the pokemon's back. "Let's go Blaze."
"Char." Blaze looked nervous.
Reina groaned. "Blaze return." she placed his pokeball into her bag. "Nice and safe."
Lapras started off quickly and Reina wrapped her arms about her shell and held on tight.
"Not so fast." Reina yelped, and slowly opened her eyes when she felt Lapras slow slightly.
Lapras glanced back at her with an amused expression.
"Very funny." Reina mumbled. Then she sat up looking thoughtful. "Now that I think about it we haven't given you a name yet. Would you like one?"
Lapras thought it over for a few minutes, then nodded slightly.
"Let's see....What would be a good name for a cutie like you?"
Lapras looked abashed.
Reina suddenly snapped her fingers. "I got it! How about Lala?"
Lapras smiled and splashed water widly, splashing some on Reina in the process.
"I guess that means you like it." Reina grinned. "Onward to Dundoo Island then!"
A short time into the trip Lala was taking a small break and had her nose in the water, while Reina lounged on her back. She suddenly pulled her nose from the water with a small cry.
"Lala! What's wrong?" Reina gasped, turning to face her new friend.
A Krabby was clinging to the end of her nose, and didn't appear to want to let go anytime soon.
"It's a Krabby!" Reina pulled out her pokedex.
"Krabby the crab pokemon. Krabby uses it's pincers for both protection and as a tool to help it gather food. Beware it's vicegrip, it can be very powerful."
"Geez, now you tell me." Reina smacked her forhead.
Lala jerked her head this way and that trying to dilodge the Krabby who only squeezed tighter making her yelp in pain.
"Lala, use watergun!" Reina ordered.
Lala blasted the Krabby right on for a direct hit, then squealed when it still didn't let go, insteed the Krabby fired a bubble right into her face.
"This is getting us nowhere." Reina thought it over. "Lala growl!" she said at last.
Lala growled, a low rumble that built in her throat that burst forward.
Surprised the Krabby let go, and splashed into the water making angry hissing sounds.
"Finish it with another watergun!" Reina laughed.
Krabby was sent flying off into the distance by the force of Lala's water gun.
Lala turned back to Reina with tears budding in her eyes and a big red mark on her nose.
Reina kissed her pokemon on the nose and patted her on the head. "All better?" she asked.
Lala smiled and nodded her head up and down.
"Great. Full speed ahead Lala!" Reina suddenly gripped onto her back again. "Not so fast!"
