YYYYYYAAAAAAYYYYYY!
"So, Rain, have you decided what Pokemon you want yet?" asked a very sophisticated looking man standing next to a table with three PokeBalls.
A blonde teenager rubbed her chin, looking closely at each one. "Hm… which one's Totodile again, Professor?"
"Totodile, that is the water Pokemon starter for this region, in this PokeBall," said Professor Elm, pointing at one of the PokeBalls.
Rain's eyes lit up happily. "I'll take Totodile."
"Alright, and you're lucky, you get the first pick, I have another young man coming today for his own Pokemon, but I think he was looking for Chikorita though, so you are lucky," said Elm.
She gently grabbed the PokeBall off of the table and grinned. "YES! You and I are gonna have the best battles ever, Bilbo!"
Professor Elm looked confused. "Bilbo?"
"Yah. Like the hobbit. Lord of the Rings…? Okay, nevermind." She walked to the door of the building and turned back in mid step, smiling. "Thanks, Professor!" With that, she walked out the door only to be hit by another teenage boy that looked a little younger than her.
"Hey! WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GO… never mind, I don't yell at girls," said the teenage boy who had on a black and yellow cap he had on backwards that concealed his black hair except a long strand that stood straight up.
Rain raised an eyebrow questioningly at the strange boy. "Honestly. You people are just not even worth it." She grumbled. "But seriously, YOU HAVE GOT TO BE FREAKING KIDDING ME HERE! I AM PERFECTLY CAPABLE OF HANDLING MYSELF AROUND YOU INCOMPETENT LITTLE BRATS!" She blinked, and brushed some stray strands away from her face. "I mean… good day, young man." She pushed around him, a little furious, and began to walk away, only to get hit by a red head boy the same age as the raven haired that ran into her just a minute ago, but this one acted just a little bit differently.
"I don't have time for this, just get out of my way," said the jerk and pushed Rain out of the way and walked into the lab before she could say anything.
Rain drew in a sharp breath. "Wow. People, shorty is walking here." She huffed angrily. Her short temper was not giving her good first impressions at ALL today, so she tried to stay calm and walk away as dignified as she could possibly manage.
"Todo!" exclaimed Bilbo, appearing from his PokeBall to comfort his partner.
Rain smiled, and picked him up gently. "God, you're even cuter than I thought you would be." She grinned, giving him a light pat on the head. "Thanks, Bilbo."
"HEY! RAIN! WAIT! YOU FORGOT YOUR POKEGEAR!" cried a young blonde boy, holding a small phone like object in his hands.
Rain swiveled around in the direction of the voice, ready to smack it's owner, when she saw it was her younger brother, Alex. "Alex don't scare me like that." She sighed. "But thanks for my stuff."
The energetic little boy turned away to run back, but turned around to say one last thing to his older sister . "Oh, and one more thing, mom says that if you get arrested, call Uncle Falkner."
Rain rolled her eyes, still trying not to explode. "Sure, because I'M going to get arrested. Pssh." Then a little voice in the back of her head kept repeating: You're so screwed. You're sooooo freaking screwed. Rain politely ignored it and continued walking with Bilbo out to route 29.
IN CHERRYGROVE TOWN
Rain stumbled along the path to the entrance, carrying a very exhausted Bilbo. "Jeezus, that was a longer walk than I thought it would be." She panted to Bilbo, who was blinking the crust from his sleepy eyes.
"Toto?" Bilbo croaked sleepily.
Rain stopped abruptly. "You're kidding, right? You were sleeping?"
Bilbo cuddled up to Rain innocently. She sighed, and kept walking.
Just then, a small panda Pokemon stumbled in front of Rain, it looked like it was hit by a bus, then had the bus back into it again, then hit again.
Rain set down Bilbo and knelt down quickly and held up the small pokemon to keep it from falling over. "You alright little guy?" She asked, concerned.
"Pancham!" cried the Pokemon, fainting right on the sidewalk.
Rain gasped as Bilbo gave a frightened squeak. "C'mon, Bilbo, we gotta get him to a Pokemon center, quick!"
Bilbo nodded, and followed Rain obediently.
AT THE POKEMON CENTER
"Welcome to the… OH MY, how could you let your Pokemon get in this condition?!" cried a very plump in the belly Nurse Joy, seeing the injured Pancham.
"No no," Rain tried to explain while drawing heavy, panicked breaths. "He… I found him… like this ma'am! Please, just help him!" She panted, putting the Pancham on the reception desk with shaky hands.
"Oh, I am so sorry for jumping to conclusions, it's just that, I don't know, I've been hormonal, as you can see, I'm pregnant," said Nurse Joy, pointing at her belly than handing her Chansy the injured Pancham.
Rain blinked, startled from the sudden chain of events. "Who's the husband or father?" As soon as she finished, she wanted to smack herself in the head. Husband or father? What the heck was wrong with her?!
"Well, you may know the former gym leader of Pewter?" asked Nurse Joy.
Rain laughed faintly. "No way….. Brock?"
"Yes Brock, and he is the one helping Chansey with your injured Pancham, so don't insult him will he is standing right behind his beautiful wife and some random trainer girl," said a voice that appeared from behind them, but before the two girls could react, a teen around Rain's age rushed into the Center.
"IS MY PO HERE!" he cried, his skin and brown hair dripping with sweat.
Rain looked over and coughed. "Uh… the Pancham?" She asked as Bilbo hid behind her leg shyly.
"No shit the Pancham, now please tell me where he is, and if he's okay," cried the boy, tears running down his face.
Rain put up her hands and gave the boy a quizzical glance. "I think he's alright… right Mrs. Joy?"
"Yes, he's just fine, but what I want to know is how in hell did you let your partner get in that state?!" questioned Joy.
"Yes!" cried the group in unison.
"Well, I was attacked by some red haired kid with a Cyndaquil and i was not strong enough to stop him and he blasted Pancham with a flamethrower and he was blasted away and I thought that I lost him," choked out the boy before he could not hold back the tears.
"Shh, its alright, but how did you know your partner was here?" asked Brock, rubbing his chin. " And who was that red haired boy?"
"I can answer the first one, I saw that it landed near here and hello Rain," said a girl the same age as Rain.
"Marill," said a blue Pokemon that climbed on her shoulder.
"Lyra?" Rain asked, blinking. "What the hell is going on?! First I get rammed by like three guys and then I come and find a half dead pokemon wandering aimlessly in which I have to SPRINT all the way here to find my bff strutting around with a complete STRANGER!"
"Hey!" cried the boy. " I have a name you know!"
Rain's face turned a little flushed. "And I'd love to know it!"
Lyra sighed. "Rain cut the temper, please. You're gonna get arrested."
Rain blinked, stunned. "Did you… how… Alex? AGH! I'd be just dandy with that, Lyra. Just. Dandy."
"Its Jeremy, thanks for asking!" screamed the boy.
Rain smacked her forehead. "Okay. Back on topic. Red headed guy? Yeah, he shoved me over when I was walking out of Professor Elm's lab earlier today. Did you get his name?"
"Yes I did, he said it was Silver, actually, I tackled him and stole his trainer ID card, took a pic of it with my Pokegear, then threw it in a bush, and ran away," said Jeremy, nodding at the memory and showing the pic of the card.
"Violent." Rain replied. "And irrational. But now that we know who he is…" She trailed off, a devilish look in her eyes. Bilbo and her shared a quick glance and darted for the door.
Lyra grabbed Rain's shoulder. "Speaking of irrational, here comes Rain, ready to smack the crap out of a guy she doesn't even know the slightest and who is extremely exhausted from the jog over. Why, Rain?"
Rain squirmed, trying to get Lyra to let go. "He could've killed the poor thing!"
"Stay. Put." Lyra commanded.
Rain's shoulders slouched as she sat down on one of the waiting seats with Bilbo. "What now?"
"HEY, I REMEMBER YOU, FROM THE LAB!" cried the raven haired boy from earlier.
"Does everyone just wanna come and party or what?" Rain muttered to herself. "Yeah, sorry for yelling I have a short fuse, do NOT abuse it or set it off or things will go BOOM." She sighed, laying back in her chair
"Look I wanted to apologize for my behavior, I mean we've been neighbors for four years and we never talked so yeah, can we bury the hatchet, by the way, my name is Gold," he asked, holding out his hand.
"I say you forgive him, he's cute," whispered Lyra.
"Heard that," said Gold.
"No you didn't," said Lyra, blushing.
"Awkward," said Jeremy.
"That's an understatement." Rain added under her breath, trying not to fall asleep like Bilbo had in her lap.
"Exactly, hey I'm sorry for blowing up at you earlier, I was just worried about Po, you see, he and Venus are the only Family I have, my mom basically disowned me when she sent me to stay with my aunt, I haven't seen her in five years, not even on Christmas," said Jeremy, sitting down next to Rain.
Rain sat up a bit straighter. "Really? Wow… I mean, she didn't call you or anything?"
"No, I mean, I don't think she disowned me, but she's a gym leader that is constantly being challenged and helping out the city, but she did send letters, like on Christmas or my birthday, but that's it," said Jeremy.
"Oh. Well, my uncle is a gym leader too. We don't see him much either, but he inspired me to become a trainer." She replied, petting Bilbo on the head.
"Thats the same with my mom, thats why I came back home, back here to Johto, to be able to walk up to Olivine City gym, and challenge her, and beat her, and look her in the eyes and say thank you, because she made me who I am, STRONG!" proclaimed Jeremy.
"Fabulous." Rain said. "By the way, who's Venus?"
"I'll show you, come on out!" cried Jeremy, throwing a PokeBall into the air, which revealed a Mawile.
"Mawile," called the Pokemon, flipping its plant, hair, growth to the side.
"Cool!" Rain exclaimed, nearly sending Bilbo tumbling to the floor. "I've only heard of these guys from Uncle Faulkner!" She explained, sitting on the edge of her seat.
"Love the hair, girl." Lyra commented.
"I love your hair," said Gold, lipstick covering his face
Rain's face went instantly from smiling into some kind of crazy twitch attack. "DUDE. YOU LITERALLY JUST MET HIM LIKE 2 SECONDS AGO."
Lyra's face went red. "What? I REALLY think he's cute…"
Rain coughed. "APPARENTLY."
Jeremy rolled his eyes. " I would have never guessed that they like each other."
"Did you two seriously not notice them making out, or the fact that Pancham is on your shoulder?" asked Brock, pointing at Jeremy, who nearly peed himself when he saw his partner on his shoulder, smiling happily.
"YOU DISGUST ME." Rain said, finishing her side conversation with Lyra. She turned her head towards Brock "Now wha-" She yelped when she saw Po, staring at her like a total stalker. She fell on the floor and grabbed Bilbo, holding him out to Po. "TAKE HIM NOT ME! Oh… it's just you."
Jeremy looked at Po, then at Rain, then at Venus, then at Rain again, then at Lyra who was kissing Gold again, then back at Rain. "Well, it seems that Po and Venus have taken a liking to you and Bilbo, so it seems that I'm going to have to come with you then."
"It'll be a party! A super fabulous party." Rain said, turning to Gold and Lyra. When she saw them, she pretended to double over and hurl while Bilbo's face had scrunched up like an accordion. "Without that." She said, waving her hands at the two.
Lyra looked over. "You just gestured to all of me."
""Well when you're going all leech-girl on that poor kid in the middle of a battle and your pokemon get their faces pounded into the ground, I'd think it's your fault." Rain replied flatly.
"You don't know that!" Lyra snapped.
"Well I'm guessing I'm pretty close…" Rain replied innocently, she coughed, and continued. "Annnd you walked right into that one."
Jeremy looked at Lyra and Gold then smiled.
"I say we let them come, so if we get attacked, we can push them in front of us as a shield, then run," he said, whispering the last part so that only Rain could hear.
"Maw," agreed Venus.
"Pan," agreed Po.
Rain held back her laughter as she tried to talk clearly. "I'll give 'em a chance… what could go wrong?"
"They could do it in the woods," said Jeremy, looking disgusted by the thought.
Rain was caught in a daze smiling until her brain finally processed what he was saying, then got up and bolted to the nearest bathroom, ready to hurl. Bilbo looked a little helpless as he scratched on the locked door, waiting for his friend to come back out. When Rain got back, her friends where ready, All Pokemon except Pancham, Marill, and Gold's Chikorita where in there PokeBalls.
"Well, lets go already, we all want to have a chance to kick your uncle's ass and we have a long walk to Violet city and the walk through Dark Cave, and I hear we need at least two Pokemon to battle Falkner, so lets go," said Jeremy, walking out the door.
"Lets go," said Gold, arm draped over Lyra's shoulders.
"Thanks people…" Rain gave a small wave to Nurse Joy and Brock as she hobbled out the door with Bilbo trying to see if he could match his friend's footsteps and large stride.
