I sighed deeply as I felt him lay his head down on my stomach. 'He's always been there for me. Since the very beginning, he's been there. Always sticking up for me. Always comforting me when I was upset. Always there…'
"Growlithe stop it! I'm not going to go and spend my money to see some butt-heads show off!" Growlithe looked at me with his puppy eyes, yet I remained cool. "No!"
He growled at me and barked. I laughed lightly, "Look we have to train. Eevee, you and all the others are getting weak. I don't think I can take another loss."
As if on cue, "Eevee, ee!"
"Not you too!" I put my hand behind my head and leaned against the tree stump. I closed my eyes and sighed, "Fine! I'll take you to the Poke' Festival. But you aren't getting any of those cheap gadgets like last year!"
I smiled at them sweetly as the licked/nipped my affectionately. The Poke' Festival was happening close by. Actually as much as I didn't want to admit it, I wanted to go. Maybe Professor Oak will be there?
Professor Oak. There's a topic I haven't touched for a while. God I haven't seen him since he sent me off with Growlithe those years ago in Pallet Town. I remember it all a bit TOO vividly…
***Flashback***
I cried and ran down the street. I tripped on my feet and fell to the ground, scrapping my knees in the process. I rolled myself into a ball and put my dirty hands to face and sobbed. I looked up as I heard two familiar voices.
"So you excited?"
"No…what do you think? I'm PSCYCHED!"
"* Chuckle* Yeah me too. I can't believe it! We're going to be Pokemon trainers!"
"Yeah I can't wait until…. Lina!" I guess that's when they noticed me sprawled out in the middle of the sidewalk. I heard them gasp.
"Lina oh my god! Are you ok?" Ash bent down and looked at my bleeding hands. He looked up at Gary, who amazingly looked concerned, before looking back at me, "What happened?"
I looked down at the ground and the small puddle of blood forming form my knee, "I can't be a Pokemon trainer."
Gary crouched down to my height, "What are you talking about? Of course you can! Remember tomorrow's the day! All three of us get our Pokemon!"
I let the tears run down my face again. What a fool! "I can't…I…"
Ash didn't let me finish. He helped me up and carried me to Professor Oak's, with amazing strength I had never seen. Although I was very small (90 pounds) it still had to be rough. Gary followed not far behind. I looked at him over Ash's shoulder. He looked at me and made adisgusted arrogant look on his face as he noticed. I sighed and put my head on Ash's shoulder, 'We're going to leave on bad terms. Not that we were ever on good terms…The only reason were friends is cause of Ash. I swear he would've been long gone if I didn't have such a crush on Ash.'
We arrived in front of Prof. Oak lab. Ash set me down and looked down at my knee before knocking on the door, "Professor! Professor!"
Professor Oak opened his door and looked at Ash and smiled and then to Gary also. I looked down at my knee as another trickle of blood came out, but I was sure he had his eyes on me. "Oh my! Come in! I'll get the First Aid kit."
He patched up me knee while Gary stood next to him, as did Ash. Gary looked at me and smiled. A actual smile. I didn't even care if that was the first one I'd ever saw from him at the moment. I just had to get away
When I saw that my leg was dine I attempted to walk out the door. But the Prof. Wouldn't have it, "Where are you going? I thought your mother was having you stay here and then seeing you off in the morning."
"I can't…"
"You can't what?" he persisted.
"I can't be a Pokemon trainer." I broke down and cried some more.
I felt a hand on my shoulder as he bent down to my short height, "What do you mean?"
I sobbed into his leg, "My dad he called…he doesn't want me to. He said its too dangerous."
Professor Oak's eyes widened but softened, "Look why don't you go lay down? Get some rest. Or why don't you and the boys talk? I'm sure your dying to take notes!" He nudged me towards the guest room I had come accustomed to.
My mother who had been sick my whole life had been in the hospital since I was born. While my father had moved out and was living in Pewter. Helping train a friend's son to be a gym leader.
I walked forward, limped actually, and sat on the bed. Ash followed me. Gary stayed back at the doorway and watched.
Soon I felt myself falling asleep. I nodded as Ash asked me aquestion, which I hadn't even heard. My eyelids began to droop and then they shut.
I woke up on the floor. "Wake up!"
I looked up at Gary and scowled, "Why'd ya do that?"
He whined, "I poured water on you! I shook the living daylights out of you! So then I just shoved your lazy butt outta bed. NOW get up! Gramps wants to talk to you."
I got dressed (Gary left the room), brushed my teeth, and walked out the door. I gasped as I saw my mother, in a wheelchair, with a black leather bag in her lap. My name was neatly sewn on:
Paige Parker
Professor Oak put his arm around my shoulder, "I called your mom. She called your dad and with some persuasion he agreed to let you. So you ready?"
My face must have shown my shock as everyone started laughing lightly. I nodded dully. My mother pushed forward and hugged me. She handed me the bag and with an emotional smile, "I won't say goodbye."
I nodded. And soon Gary and me were walking out the door. I struggled before setting the tiny Growlithe down. I turned to Gary, "Where's Ash?"
He shrugged, "Who knows?"
I gulped before looking out at the rising sun, "Well I guess this is bye."
He looked me in the eye before shaking his head, "No just a see ya later." HE hugged me and kissed me on the cheek.
I gaped, "What is up with you?"
He sighed, "Well good luck!"
He shoved me down the dirt hill. I heard a few faint 'see ya's', As Growlithe dragged me along.
***End Flashback***
He never did answer me. I hadn't seen him since. I wonder if Ash…Of course he did! Knowing him he's already a master! I felt a nudge on my knee.
I looked down and noticed Eevee was curled up in my lap and Growlithe by my feet. I laughed, "Alright! Alright!"
