Trever and I were walking around a huge pack of grass, trying to capture some pokemon. We did a double battle. I stood in front of a caterpie, and Trever was facing against a weedle. We both had out our starter pokemon, ready to battle. "All right, Cyndauil. Let's catch this caterpie!" "Give it your all, Mareep. It's about time we got a new pokemon." We both gave our pokemon their commands. "Cyndaquil, use ember!" "And Mareep, use thundershock!" Flames and shockwaves came out to our opponents, who fortunately ddged the attacks. Then out of nowhere, Caterpie shot its string shot at both m and Cyndaquil, and we obth we tangled in a rope of web as Caterpie fled. Trever laughed at out perdictament. "Ha!Ha!Ha!" It wasn't long till weedle shot rever and Mareep with string shot, and fled from the battle. I turned over to Trever, chuckling on the inside. "Oh, Shut up!" "Hehe. Sorry. Want to take a break?" "I'm not stopping till I catch that weedle!" All of a sudden, the same weedle came back, and shot a string shot at Trever's face. It left taunting at the both of us. "Now?" Trever nodded, agreeing to a break.
We set up a place to relax, away from any patches of grass, and near a body of water. We each opened a bag of chips. Trever seemed depressed, as he ate his chips gloomy. "What's wrong, dude?" He looked at me, lik I was stupid or something. "You can't see the problem?" "Well,there are othr weedles..." "What are you talking about? I'm not sad about that." "Then what?" "Look around." I did was Trever asked me to do. What I saw was many trainer couples working together. "You want us to work together more?" "If you can't see it, then-" "Will you just tell me?" He sighed for a minute, then told me his dilemma. "We need a chickin this group." "What are you talking about?" "I mean, hanging with your friend is fun, really, but if we had a girl here, it woul be so much exciting." "You know, I have been thinking about this also." We just stayed there in silence. "Well,where are we going to find a girl that isn't already part of a group?" We looked around. "How about that one?" I pointed to a big girl. "No.Too chunkey." "Her?" "Looks insane." This wasn't going to be easy with Trever being so picky. I finally found a girl that may be just right. "What about her? She's not fat. Doesn't look like she just got out of rehab." "Let's see." Trever and Mareep walked their way to her. "Wait up!" Me and Cyndauil followed behind them.
We caught up with Trever and Mareep, who were observing the girl behind a rock. She was sketching the wil pokemon that were nar her. "I call dibs." I was confused by his quick statement. "What?" "I mean, I'm going to ask her out, and to join our group." "Why you? I saw her first?" "Come on, Shank. Back at Pokebrains, you were too shy to tak to any girl. I just wasn't lucky. So can I have this one?" "Uh-" "Thanks, dude!" He left to confront the girl, not gving me a chance to answer him. Cyndaquil and I looked over to Trever and Mareep, who were approaching her. Trever rubbed his hands together, preparing himself. "Hi, I'm-" "Go away." So moved away to a different location. He turned back to me, giving me a hand signal that said "I got this." He wen to her one more time. "Listen, I-" "Tyrogue, use fake out." Out of nowhere, a Tyrogue came out and striked Trever in the chest. The wild pokemon she was sketching fled, and pointed her anger at Trever. "Look what you did!" "I-I-I didn't mean to-" "Of course you didn't. What do you want?" "I just wanted to ask if you'd like to join our group." "Our?" Trever pointed to me, as I was too stunned to make a move. I made a stumbling wave to her. "Yeah...No." "But-" Tyrogue, use-" "No, no! I'll leave." They were walking back to the rock, terrified of what just happened. "Your turn." "What?!" He pushed me down the hill, towards the girl.
I made the first mistake by bumping into her. "Watch where your going!" "Sorry." I spoke so softly, not even I could hear myself. "What's wrong with you? Can't you talk?" I swallowed my pride, and cleared my throat. "My name's Shank." "Great. Why do I care?" I was getting nervous that I was next to get jabbed in the chest. "Um, what's your name?" "It's Milena. What do you want?" "I just wanted to ask-" She let out an annoyed sigh. "Look, I already told your friend that I'm not joining your group." "Why not?" I started to sound desperate. "I go alone. I don't need a group." "But a trainer always has to go with friends." "Who ever said I was a trainer?" "Your not a trainer?" "I'm a breeder." "That's cool." "Yeah. So why don't you and your friend just leave route 30, and continue on your big journey?" I was ready to walk away, but I realized I wasn't going to give up. "Spend the night with us." She gave me a baffled look. "Excuse me?" "I mean, just spend one day with us. If you don't like us by the next day, we'll leave." She gave my deal some thought. "I like you, shy kid." I started to blush. "Not like that." My blush faded. "So, do we have a deal?" I let out my hand for a handshake. "Sure." "And by the way, this is my buddy, Cyndaquil." I showed Cyndaquil to Milena, who seemed satisfied to see her. "And this is my buddy, Tyrogue." Tyrogue stepped out behind her, getting close to Cyndaquil. He gave Cyndaquil a friendly punch. "They seems to like him." "They sure do. Let's go up this hill." We both went up to where Trever and Mareep were. "So?" "She going to hang with us for a day, then she'll see whether she wants to stay or not." "Mmm-hmm?" She wanted some attention. "Aren't you going to introduce me?" "Oh,Yeah. Trever, Milena. Milena, Trever. Tyrogue, Mareep. Mareep,Tyrogue." We all greeted. "Now let's get ready for the night."
We all gathered around a fire, warming up from the cold night. We all enjoyed some melted smores. Then Me and Trever wanted to ask some questions from Milena. "So where are you from, Milena?" "Um. Let's just say I live near Blackthorn city." "That far?" "Why is it such a surprise?" "Well, it's just that it's so far." "Well I just like to travel." "Ok." I wanted to know something. "So why did you become a breeder?" "Because instead of just catching pokemon, I just want to study them, get to know them much better." "But you can do the same while being a trainer." "You got a point there, Shank. So, tell me." "What?" "Why did you want to become a trainer?" "That's easy. I want to be the best of the best. I'm trying to get myself eight badges to enter the Johto League." "Are you doing the same, Trever?" "Of course. I want to challenge my pal." "That's cool." We each burned our smores while talking, and laughed about it. "So what education did you guys get?" "We came from Pokebrains Academy." "Never heard of it. I heard of Brawlfist, though." "Those are our rivals." "Sounds fun, then." "What school are you from, Milena?" After that, she just went silent. "What's wrong?" "I'm just getting sleepy. Let's get to bed."
I put out the fire, and we all snuggled into our sleeping bags. Trever was out as a light, but me and Milena were still awake. "I thought you said you were tired." "Well it takes some people a while to get into the sleeping zone." "Sorry." "It's ok, dude. You need to clam down whenever I get my sarcasim out." "Ok, well, good night." "Until tomorrow, Shank." I closed my eyes. My dream was a kind of a doozy. I was imagining me and Milena together, holding hands and walking down a long path. We looked totally in love. I a blink of an eye, I was in a tuxedo, and she was suddenly in a white gown. It looked like we were getting married. She was coming close to my face, about to kiss. I didn't want to look strange, so I copied her reactions. As we were about to kiss, I woke up in the middle of the night. I looked around to see a horrible sight. I quickly woke up Trever. "Trever, wake up, dude!" "Huh? What happened?" "Dude, our bags are gone!" "No way! Our pokemon are in them." "That's not all." "What?" "Milena's gone too." | |
