Shade had to admit, the ginger helped. Until she ran out.
She clung to the rail and chummed the water with her breakfast.
Gertrude sat nearby keeping an eye on her.
"Broken really enjoys this sailoring stuff doesn't he?"
Shade answered with weary nod then again heaved ho over the edge of the ship.
The gardevoir stepped up to stare down into the water.
A bunch of little pokemon and fish without abilities ate the bits and pieces that were swiftly left behind.
"You are really trying to keep it down aren't you!"
"Trying." Shade finally flopped back and rested her head on the cool deck. "Isn't there some psychic cure you could do?"
"Not a clue. Next time we fly." Gertrude picked Shade up bridal style. "Come on, you're playing cards with us."
Below decks Shade found that for the past few days, Gertrude had been playing cards with the crew and a few passengers. One man, a passenger, had his head wrapped in gauze. He lokked away from Gertrude quickly.
"What did you..." Shade's cheeks puffed out then she swallowed. "Never mind. Just set me down."
"Poor little land lubber not feeling well?" One of the crew, a blonde man, mocked her. His laughter was short lived as Gertrude used telekenisis to force feed him a handful of poker chips.
As he coughed up and spit out chips another crew man shook his head. "Gardevoir are very protective of their partners."
"Boys, this is Shade. Shade, these are the boys. Seamus, Parker, Lumis is the one eating chips." Gertrude heard Shade laugh weakly. "And Bandages here is Tai."
"Hey." The dark trainer waved by simply lifting her hand. "Mind if I just watch?"
"Fine with me."
"We're expecting a new player tonight." Seamus, currently dealing, announced. Just then a well dressed man stepped in, a bag under his arm. He reguarded Shade and Gertrude carefully a moment then shook his head and took a seat next to Tai and Lumis. "Ladies, gentlemen, this is Mr. Sunny."
The man didn't say anything, just laid out some bills and motioned to Seamus to deal.
Four hands were played. Between the second and third, someone had brought a lovesest from one of rhr better cabins and gave it to Gertrude and Shade. Shade was curled up with her head in the Gardevoir's lap.
"I call your fifty and raise you five." Gertrude tossed her chips into the pot at looked across the table at the newcomer.
Sunny eyed her and looked around the table. "None of you are worried about playing cards with a psychic?"
"She busted Faulk cheating, that's why he isn't here tonight. I also suggest that you don't accuse her of being a cheat." Lumis told the man. Tai nodded as quickly as he dared to as his aspirin was wearing off.
Sunny looked across the table to see Gertrude and an ill looking Shade both glaring at him.
"I'm still not comfortable with it." He stated.
"Then take your winnings and leave." Seamus said as he antied up.
Five more hands and only three were left with enough to gamble. Gertrude had split her winnings as she and the others had talked Shade into playing the next hand. The biggest two culprits were Gertrude and Sunny. Gertrude because she wanted to be able to play with Shade a different type of poker game she had recently heard about from the chit chat with the boys. Sunny because he wanted to take the money Shade had been given ny Gertrude.
Nodoby but Sunny had issues with Gertrude and Shade looking at eachothers cards. Gertrude explaining the game and hands to Shade. After the practice hand, played with soda crackers, the real hand was under way.
After fifteen minutes of anti and call and raise, Shade pushed all of her money into the pot.
"Shade!" Gertrude exclaimed. "What are you doing?"
"I'm bored, and sick. I just want to finish this."
Seamus and folded. Sunny Grinned and shoved all of his into the pot. Gertrude gathered her own winnings and folded as well.
"Okay, sickly, lets see your cards, now." Sunny said as if he was the boss.
"Yours first." Shade obviously didn't like taking orders. She looked down to her cards repeatedly with a thoughtful expression.
Sunny, keeping his eye on the girl, laid his out. 5,6,7,8,9 all clubs. "Straight flush!" He said smugly as he started to reach for the pot.
Just as his fingers met and he started to draw back, Shade laid her cards out. Jack, 10, ace, queen, king, all spades. "The little people mean something, right?" She asked as she held up the queen. She looked to Gertrude. "I want a dress like that."
Sunny stare in disbelief. The others gathered around the table.
"The loopy, little lady won!" Tai said with shock. He looked to Sunny. "Let go of her winnings, man."
Sunny pulled them to his side of the table anyway. "They cheated!"
Shade stood calmly, if not a bit wobbly, and pointed at the man. "You..."
"Shade, sit down, please." Gertrude didn't catch Shade in time.
Instead they watched as Shade fell onto the table and took Sunny by his suit collar and then rolled onto the floor.
Shade would never admit that it was unplanned. The pitching of the boat and her already being unsteady is why she ended up on the table. Her want to not fall onto the floor, which everyone had spit shells and spit and dropped cigarette and cigar butts, was why she had grabbed Sunny. Of course once on the floor, Sunny had swung, landing a strike on Shade's left cheek, didn't have much effect on her as she was already well shook up. It had the effect of causing Shade to pin his arms with her knees and wailing on his unprotected face until Gertrude had pulled her off.
Shade, now spent of energy, fell asleep in Gertrude's arms.
The unconcious Sunny was taken back to his room.
6/5/2011
Shade woke up to sunshine from the port hole.
She was being spooned by Gertrude.
She had been washed because she smelled the shampoo and soap. She was also in her loose pajama pants and worn out Slayne t-shirt.
Her cheek hurt, which was weird. She didn't remember drinking, so she had no clue as to why she didn't remember what had happened last night
She smiled, she wasn't dizzy or sea sick.
She eased out of bed and went to the bathroom. Looking in the mirror, she saw the bruise.
"Hey." Shade said as Gertrude appeared in the mirror. "Did I wake you?"
Gertrude shook her head no and sat on the toilet. A tinkle sounding. "How's cheek?" Gertrude asked.
"Sore. Was I drinking?"
"Fight." Gertrude motioned for the TP. "Need wipe."
"Were you drinking?" Shade asked.
"Broken brought beer. Good. Strong."
Out on deck Shade took a stroll, able to enjoy the breeze and not cling to the rail while vomiting. She was greeted by a handful of people she did not know. There was one man with a bandage on his head. "I didn't do that, did I?"
"No, no, but Sunny won't mess with you any more!" The man told her. "That was so cool how you just pulled him right out of his chair like that!"
"Why did I do that... um... sir."
The man eyed her. "You don't remember me." He patted his chest. "Tai. We were playing cards last night."
"That punch must have given her amnesia." Another man said as he walked up. "I'm Seamus. Here." He handed her some bills. "That Machoke of yours is really earning it!"
"Not mine, just family. I'll see he gets paid." Shade said as she stretched. "Breakfast?"
A few hours later Shade had found a quiet spot near the stern. Gertrude was still sleeping it off and Broken was working hard up at the bow.
Footfalls alerted her to someone approaching. She turned to see a man with a nice suit and a face full of bruises.
"Sunny?" She asked.
"Yes." He stopped a short distance away from her.
"Look, about last night..."
"Shut up, bitch!" He took a ball from his belt and released a grass type she had never seen before. "I thought I recognized you, but to be insulted and humiliated again! To be cheated!"
"I'm not going to battle you."
"This isn't a battle. This is the end! Nobody is close enough to hear and you're going for a swim! He smiled wickedly.
Shade's mood changed. Survival instincts kicking in. "One of us is going over, and it isn't me."
"Carnevine, attack!"
With those words Shade was watching a razor leaf attack coming her way. She used Icy Wind to counter it and surprised the hell out of the plant and Sunny. Shade rushed in and hit the grass type opponent with an ice punch. The pokemon being affected harshly and she proceeded to tackle Sunny again and pummled him until she was pulled off of him by the forgotten Carnevine that had thawed enough to break loose from the ice.
As he held her she lokked him in the eye. "You really want to throw me overboard?"
It's master still reeling, the pokemon set her on her feet.
"You know, people get lost at sea all the time." Shade walked over and gave Sunny a swift kick to the side, knocking the wind out of him again. "Maybe he took off his balls to get comfortable on that chair there. Then went to look over the edge and... fell. Maybe."
"Carnevine!" Sunny tried not to sound pitiful as he weezed out.
Shade kicked him hard again. Then for good measure stomped solidly on his stomach. He curled up in pain.
"You know, you guys could go back to the wild or find new trainers. The crew seem pretty cool and Broken, the Machoke I travel with, he seems to like it."
Carnevine looked down at Sunny, beaten again, trying to catch his breath.
Shade knelt down, taking his wallet from him. "You know, I do remember you now. You stole from me once." She searched the wallet and found a chip. "Yeah! The smell is unmistakable, and this only proves it further." She turned the chip in her fingers a few times. "Didn't have a clue what it is for, but stole it anyway." She slipped it in her own pocket. "You're never going to know."
Shade stood up and gave him a parting kick to his head. Leaving him dazed. She walked past Carnevine. "Your choice." She said and headed towards the front of the ship.
As she walked she heard a splash.
She was back in the cabin, their bathroom. Gertrude soaked in the tub while she treated her cuts.
"So what happened?" Gertrude asked, moving the cool rag off of her eyes to look Shade over.
"Sunny." Gertrude made to get up but Shade was quick to be by her side and ease her back into the tub. "No longer a poblem. There was a mutiny on his team. Captain Sunny walked the plank."
"Huh?" Gertrude blinked, trying to make sense of thingd.
"If anyone asks, you don't know anything." Shade felt the water. "Nice and cool." She smiled, stood up and begab undressing. "Want some company?"
Gertrude watched wide eyed as she was joined by Shade. The Sneasel girl planting a kiss on the Gardevoir. Gertrude squeaked in pleasant surprise as she felt Shade's fingers slide up her thigh. Inching closer and closer to her sex. She began to shudder with anticipation when the door to the cabin opened and Broken then steppwd into the bathroom.
"Hey there's this Car..."
"Get out!" Gertrude hit him in the face with the cold rag, and it fell to the floor showing his surprised face.
His eyes went between the two then he smiled appreciatively. "Finally!" He backed out of the room and closed the door. They heard something set out on the dresser than the cabin door closed.
Gertrude was tinged red and Shade was trying not to laugh.
"Wh-where were we?" Gertrude took Shade's hand and moved it a little higher. When she let go, Shade continued. Gertrude reached out and placed her hand on Shade's thigh, starting her own exploration upward.
