btw this story was started before the English translations of the names so this is not I repeat NOT Roark the Gym Leader

I don't own Pokemon

Roark's tale

"You there! What do you think your doing!?" said a girl no older then he was.

"Walking" Roark said half paying attention to her.

"Don't give me that!" she screamed. Looking as if at any moment she would jump and attack him.

"Trust me I'm not giving you anything." his attention now fully on the girl. She was rather cute… She had brown/reddish hair in pigtails. Her eyes an almost unatural blue, she had on a blue sleeveless shirt with a white poke ball symbol on the front as well as white hems on the outline of the shirt. She also had on a skirt of the same design only without the white hem.

"Stacy, who are you yelling at?" said another girl as she ran up to her friend. Also rather cute with dark reddish hair that came down to her shoulders. A lighter skin tone then her friend as well as thin framed glasses that were ovular in shape that she wore over hazel eyes. She wore a red short sleeved shirt with two black stripes that came down at an angle from her shoulders and met at a point near the top of where her belly button would probably be. Instead of the skirt her friend was wearing she had on a pair of black loose fitting shorts that only went down to her kneecaps.

"This guy here just stole my Pokemon!" Stacy shouted as she gave Roark a glare that would put an Arbok to shame.

"He/I what now?" both Roark and the red haired girl said in unison.

"You heard me!He stole my Pokemon. I know it was him Aurora! He's the only person around aside from you and me!" her eyes not leaving her accused "Now give me back Minun!"

"Right... I really have no idea what your talking about, I didn't even know you were here until you started yelling at me"

"LIAR!! You just walked past the both of us not even a minute ago!"

"Stacy! He didn't take your Pokemon! You're pokeball is still on your belt!

"Why are you sticking up for him!... wait what!?" Stacy said as she turned to her friend for the first time since she arrived.

"Minun's pokeball is on your belt you haven't let him out yet!" The red head said as she pointed to the pokeball that was still on Stacy's belt.

"How could he still be in his pokeball if I had released him before we sat down!? He was there before and once he walked by Minun wasn't there."

"That was Plusle you dolt. You didn't release Minun yet that's what I'm telling you! You sat down and started eating and the first time you even look up you just run after this guy! If you don't believe me then just release him, if he's not there then we'll deal with this guy." The red head shouted.

"Do you honestly believe that I couldn't tell the difference between Plusle and Minun and that I wouldn't even know that I hadn't released Minum? Fine! Minum come on out." Stacy seethed as she tossed the ball on the ground. "See! he wasn't in his... ball..." She began as a small blue and yellow mouse appeared from the red beam of light that the ball produced.

"You were saying?" The red head mocked "Now come on before the food goes to waste." she proclaimed as she began to walk back the way they had come. "I'm sorry for the inconvenience whatever you name is, she's like that at times."

"Don't worry about it" Roark said as he turned around to leave, his eyes already looking towards the path that he had been walking. "It happ-" he stopped as there was now a pair of hands wrapped around is arm.

"I'm sorry!" said Stacy as her eyes began to water "Please let me make it up to you!"

"It's really no problem…" Roark began as he stared into her tear filled eyes. He sighed "Alright what do you propose to do to make it up to me" Sad females, his only true weakness.

"Yay! Alright me and Aurora will be sure to make it up to you" Stacy said in a rather sudden mood change

"Wait! Why do I have to hel-" Aurora began as her foot felt a sharp pain in her foot due to Stacy having stomped on it.

"Don't you want to make it up to … um"

"Roark"

"Right, don't you want to make it up to Roark? Or do you want him to leave after we accused him of stealing Minun"

"We didn't do anything, you did it all"

"Ok ok after I accused him of stealing Minun. Please Aurora help me make it up to Roark, please"

"Oh, all right" Aurora sighed knowing full well that nothing she said would change her friends mind.

"Um, do you think you can let go of my arm? Blood is having a hard time getting to my fingers…."

"Oh!" Stacy said as she quickly let go as she stumbled backwards and nearly fell.

After a short trip back down the way Roark had just walked he saw a picnic blanket that he had not noticed (nor smelled) on his first trip down the road.

"Ok" Stacy began "Just take a seat and we'll begin with the making up. Just let me go grab something real quick" she said as she forced Roark to sit. Aurora took a seat across from where Stacy had placed Roark sitting with her Plusle.

"I'm sorry for all this trouble" Aurora said in an annoyed voice. "She tends to miss the obvious and jumps to conclusions, not a good combination"

"Well I really wasn't doing anything else." He said as he smirked at the girl sitting across from him. "I guess since I'm here I could let out my Pokemon, do you mind? They haven't been out for awhile"

"Uh I guess…."

"This is the longest they've been in their pokeballs since I only recently started traveling on the obligatory Pokemon journey."

"Oh you too? Me and Stacy start tomorrow… though I don't think Stacy's 'ready' yet" she added coolly.

"Come on out Eevee - Mawile." Roark said as he tossed two poke balls into the air. From the poke balls there came a small grey fox like Pokemon that had a bushy tail and a mane of fur around his neck, also appearing was a slightly taller yellow Pokemon that stood about 2 feet tall with a cute looking face and a black horn that was in the shape of a pair of jaws that hung from the top of her head down her back that was as big as she was. Seeing both the Minun and Plusle who had slipped away from Aurora's grip they both made their way towards them after greeting Aurora.

"Wow I've never seen those Pokemon" Aurora said as she pulled out a Pokedex to see what it would say about Eevee and Mawile. "That's weird…."

"What's weird?"

"Well the picture of the Eevee on the Pokedex has it as brown in color not gray…"

"Really?" Roark remarked as he looked over at his Eevee and Mawile as they played with Stacy's and Aurora's Plusle and Minun.

"You don't think something could be wrong with him do you…" Said as she looked to the odd colored Eevee.

"Nope"

"But what if-" Aurora had began as she saw her Stacy coming towards them with a full basket of bakery goods. "I thought mom told you to stop taking stuff from the bakery without telling her."

"I asked her and said that it was a peace offering to a new friend so she said it was alright."

"What?! Just five minutes ago you accused him of stealing Minun and now suddenly he's your friend?! You barely even know the guy!" Aurora shouted as her friend placed the basket near Roark and took a seat next to her sister.

"Sure he's our friend" she said while grinning. "I apologized and offered to make it up to him, now since this is to make up for what I did earlier, everything's is all settled and we're now friends. Isn't that right Roark" Stacy said as she smiled at Roark.

"Uh, yea sure" replied Roark at a loss for words. The seamless transitions between emotions completely throwing him for a loop.

"Whatever" Aurora fumed

"OK! Now lets eat!" Said Stacy as she started chowing down upon the food that was laying about/

After a quick meal (with their Pokemon eating there fill as well) each of the trainers did their own thing for awhile. The two girls sat talking to each other, the Pokemon again were off having a mock battle with Plusle, Minun, and Eevee against Mawile. Roark was lying in the grass and staring at formless clouds contemplating things. Noticing the sun setting he decided to make his leave, but first a question.

"So …..Stacy and Aurora was it?"

"Yes?" said both the girls in unison, with the same look of surprised confusion on their face at the sudden mention of their names

"Stacy what was with the whole "You stole my Pokemon" thing?" Roark asked as he again stared back at sky

"Oh! W-well um…." Stuttered a blushing Stacy who was taken aback by Roark's forwardness. "Well Aurora and I had decided to have a picnic with our Pokemon and I guess I forgot to release Minun." she said as she tapped her head with her knuckle. "I really am sorry for the accusation".

"If you say so…" Roark said as he again stared to the now purplish sky. "Thanks for the meal you two" as he stood up and began to pull his tent out of his pack.

"So what your just going to eat and run?!" shouted Aurora as she stood up. Stacy remained seated looking towards Aurora with confusion on her face.

"No, I am going to eat and sleep." he said as he pulled a sleeping bag out of his pack. "I don't know about you but I've been traveling all day and my legs are sore".

"Oh" Remarked Aurora as her face becoming slightly red "Well I uh, good bye then. I guess we'll be seeing you around…"

"Roark you can stay with us tonight. Our place is more then big enough." chimed in the ever chipper Stacy "Then tomorrow you can leave to… where are you heading anyways?"

"Dunno I've no real place to be. At least till I figure what else I want to do with this journey of mine"

"What a coincidence, both me and Aurora were about to heading out on our journey as well. Why don't you join us!" beamed Stacy.

"What!" Shouted Aurora as she spun around to face Stacy. "Why would you want him to join us?"

"The question is, why don't you want him to join us!" Stacy shouted back to her friend as the volume in her voice reached the same pitch as her friend.

"Because this is our journey, as in you and I! I don't want to have to spend it with this freak!!" Shouted back Aurora in a cold fury. Both of the girls turned to Roark, the fear of a reaction that they both knew would come. Roark however didn't react at all.

"I D-didn't mean it like-"Began Aurora but stopped when Roark spoke.

"You don't need to apologize for an opinion. Now it's getting late, let's call it a night." Roark said as he stood up facing his now finished tent. His face didn't seem to register what he heard or at least didn't show it.

"Oh... ok; guess we'll see you in the morning then. Goodnight Roark." Stacy said as she recalled her Minun and started walking. Aurora did the same only with a faster pace.

"Goodnight"

Roark waited till both Stacy and Aurora were out of earshot to turn to Mawile and Eevee "So... what do you think?"

"I like the red head she has spunk, she actually called you a freak and according to Plusle she's actually made some guy cry." Laughed Mawile

"She scares me..." Eevee retorted "Stacy on the other hand seems nice and Minun says that she's really a great trainer and she's funny too."

"I think you should take them up on their offer!" both said together.

"Yea i was thinking along the same lines. Now let's get to sleep, night you two." Roark said as he recalled them into their pokeballs.

"Night"
