Okay this is my first real post on this site (or any for that manner) my first was because I lost a bet and I don't suggest reading it, so go easy on me.
Disclaimer: I have no money, therefore I do not own Pokemon. I do own my OC's Because they are free.
The forest that surrounds Mt. Coronet has been described as "amazing" and "lush", and it said to fill with Pokémon, Adventure, and for our heroes...
Boredom...
"When you said that we were going to try to catch a Pokémon today," said a feminine voice, "I never would have thought that we would have to sit in a tree FOR SIX HOURS!" Anna yelled staring at Rush with a very annoyed look. Her ruby red eyes trying to burn a hole in his thick skull.
Alas, her attempts were in vain for Rush didn't even turn his head her way. With a sigh Anna dropped her head and looked at her dress-covered knees. "I don't think we're gonna find one today..."
"Nonsense!" Rush shouted.
Anna lifted her head up to see Rush standing at the top branch of the tree, six feet Higher than he was two seconds ago. He was standing in a very heroic looking position pointing toward the sky.
"For in this forest I sense a Pokémon with a burning spirit and a passion for battle unlike any other! And with that Pokémon we will be able to conquer any foe that steps before us!" Rush continued to shot stirring up nest of Starly.
"Will you get down from there!" Anna shouted up at Rush, "You're going to get your self killed..." she trailed off noticing that Rush wasn't there any more.
Suddenly a pair of arms wrapped themselves around her waist and pulled her out of the tree. She quickly recovered from her shock and used her psychic powers to slow down the fall and land gently on her feet.
"You worry to much," Said Rush letting go of Anna's waist. Besides, I trust you, I know that if I fell you'd catch me."
Anna turned around and was about to yell at Rush but got lost in his warm blue eyes, partially obscured by his black hair, and she blushed. He knows that she likes him but whenever she tries anything he always says "Maybe someday, but not today"
They stood there for several minutes until Rush started walking past her. "Come on, lets keep looking,"
Anna rolled her eyes and groaned "Can we take a brake? I haven't eaten since we got into that tree. I'm sure your hungry too."
"No I'm no-" Rush was interrupted by the sound of his stomach growling which made him laugh. "Alright lets find some place to set camp.
Twenty minutes later they had found a clearing and had set up camp. With a fire going, Rush started cooking a can of soup while Anna went searching for berries. By the time the sun was setting they were enjoying a quiet dinner in each others company.
"If we search for a Pokémon tomorrow can we not do it in a tree?"
Rush Laughed again "Yeah, I guess that isn't really working for us, but we can't look tomorrow we have to go into town and get some supplies and Fo-"
Rushed stopped as he saw a rustle in the bush to his right. Anna immediately shot up into a ready stance.
With a hand signal from Rush she used her psychic to lift whatever was into the bush into the air.
"Hey, hey put me down! This isn't funny!" Anna, realizing that what she lifted out of the bush was human slowly put the boy back on the ground.
Rush ran up to the boy and quickly apologized "Sorry about that I thought you were a Pokémon." He stepped back after helping the boy to his feet So lets try this again, hi my names Rush and over there is Anna," Anna waved at the boy with an apologetic look an her face.
"Hi to you, the names Luke."
"So, Luke, what brings you to this neck of the woods?"
"Well about an hour ago I heard someone shouting to the heavens somewhere around here and I wanted to see If I can find them and have a battle,"
Which reminds me, I need to tell him to stop doing that. thought Anna feeling slightly embarrassed.
"Your in luck," said Rush, not embarrassed at all, "You found him"
"That was you?" questioned Luke, somewhat surprised.
"Yes, it was, now come on lets battle while we got some light." said Rush rather quickly. He jogged past Anna who was already in a fighting stance.
Luke reach for his belt grabbing the lone pokeball hanging from it. "I choose you Beedrill!" He shouted throwing the ball in the air. The pokeball opened up and shot out a white light extending to the ground that morphed into the shape of a Beedrill. As the light faded the ball floated back into Luke's hand.
"So will this be one-on-one?" asked Rush, enthusiastically.
"Yup"
"Good, 'cause Anna's all I need!"
Anna, slightly flattered, was awaiting Rush's order a strong look of determination on her face.
"First moves to you Rush!" Luke his Beedrill rising into the air.
Rush laughed, a sinister smile on his face, his normally warm blue eyes seeming colder now. "Suit yourself," he said "Psychic!"
Anna's eyes glowed blue as she raised her hand towards the Beedrill, a faint glow forming around it, the same color as Anna's eyes.
It's wings halted, the psychic attack solely keeping it in the air.
"Try to shake it off, Beedrill!" Luke yelled trying to think of what to do.
The Beedrill shut it's eyes, most likely straining to free itself from Anna's grip.
"Send it packing Anna," said Rush.
Anna nodded her head sent the Beedrill flying back with a flick of her wrist. Hitting it's trainer square in the chest. Which sent them flying into the bush that they fond them in.
"Oops, sorry," Anna mumbled.
"Wow your strong!" Luke said as he crawled out of the bush and running up to Anna, his Beedrill close behind.
"Um... Thank you?" Anna said, somewhat uncomfortable with how close Luke was getting.
Luke backed off, puzzled "Hey, did she just talk?"
"Yep," said Rush-who seemed to teleport to Anna's side for the second time that day-putting an arm around her shoulders. "Taught her myself," he bragged.
"No way, how did you know she could learn English?"
"Well, two years ago Anna and I were climbing on the other side of Mt. Coronet near my home town."
"When out of nowhere, appeared this huge Meouth hot-air balloon." Anna cut in.
"The balloon landed in the clearing we were resting in, we didn't want any trouble so we hid behind a rock to see what would happen."
"These two weirdoes and a Meouth stepped out of the balloon. They started talking about some kid with a Pikachu, they seemed really pissed."
"But the thing that came as A shocker was that the Meouth Joined in the conversation"
"Speaking perfect English!"
"With a slight accent."
"Yeah I noticed that too."
"It was then and there that I knew Anna would be able to speak English too."
"Cool," whispered Luke who, surprisingly, listened to every word they said, though a little disoriented by them talking back and forth like that. "I gotta try that some time." Luke looked down in deep thought continuing to mumble to himself.
"So, you wanna stay for some food?" asked Rush, snapping Luke out of his world.
Luke considered this for a moment, while Anna remembered that we were out of food. "Uh, Rush..."
"Nah, can't," Luke cut in, "I need to get back to my parents they're probably starting to get worried." He recalled his Beedrill and turned to leave the way he came.
"Okay, see you around," Rush and Anna said in unison.
"See ya!" Luke said as he disappeared in to the forest.
"Nice kid," Rush said After a few minutes of silence, removing his arm from Anna's shoulders, and turning to walk towards the tent.
"Where are you going?" Anna asked.
"Sleep, it's getting late"
Anna blinked, realizing that it was pitch black aside from the small amount of light given off by the dying fire. She started to feel tired and teleported herself into the tent just as Rush opened the flap. He zipped the flap, got into his sleeping bag and quickly fell asleep. Anna got into her sleeping bag as well, she stared at Rush for a few moments before sleep took her as well.
Anna awoke to the sound of a pained yip. Worried, she crawled over to Rush and shook him awake.
"Mmm...what, Anna?" mumbled Rush, almost falling asleep again.
Anna shook him harder, "Rush I heard something, I think someone's in trouble."
"I was probably nothing, go back to slee-" Rush was cut off by another pained yip.
They quickly got up and hurried outside of the tent, trying to locate the source of the sound. What ever it was made another yip, they immediately located the direction it came from and started running.
They stopped at the site of an Eevee and a Sneasel squaring off, the Eevee looked as if it was barely able to stand. Rush and Anna crouched behind a bush, wondering what was going on.
The Eevee suddenly lunged at the Sneasel trying to connect with a take down. The Sneasel used it's superior speed to dodge the attack with ease and brought his elbow down on the Eevee's back, the crushing blow knocking it to the ground.
It's gonna get it's self killed Anna thought standing up to come to the Eevee's aid. Rush put an arm in front of her stopping her dead, as the Eevee slowly got back to his feet. All four legs wobbling he lunged for another take down. This time the Sneasel slashed at the Eevee's head making a deep cut with it's claws in the Eevee's left cheek and knocking it back several feet. The Eevee yipping in pain once again. The Sneasel started to walk away, thinking it was over, only to be shocked when he heard the Eevee start to rise again. Now it was mad, it charged at the Eevee claw raised above its head, ready to strike the Eevee down for good.
Rush decided he had seen enough. "Energy Ball," he said.
Anna, though slightly confused at the sudden command, quickly obliged and charged an Energy Ball, firing at the Sneasel.
The Energy Ball hit sending the Sneasel flying into a tree, it mumbled a part of its own then slipped out of consciousness. The last thing the Eevee saw was Rush running up to in before blacking out as well.
Rush picked the Eevee up into his arms, and turn to Anna.
"We should get him back to camp," he said
"Right," Anna nodded.
They quickly ran back to camp and Rush started to spray potion the Eevee's wounds.
Anna, after relighting the fire, watched Rush work on the cut on the Eevee's face. She was about to question his earlier action, but decided it was better not to.
"So It's male?" she asked instead.
"Huh?" Rush said looking up from the Eevee.
"You said 'he' before, so it's male?" she asked again.
"Oh, yeah, it is, and he looks like he's gonna be OK." Rush finished healing the wounds, the one on his face leaving a noticeable scar, and sat there staring at him.
Anna sighed in re "Well, now that that catastrophe is averted," she said standing up and walking over to the tent, "I'm going back to bed." She opened the tent, "You coming?" she asked, looking over her shoulder at Rush, who just continued to sit there.
Anna let out another sigh and stepped into the tent, closing it behind her.
Meanwhile, the Eevee began to stir and slowly open one eye.
"I'm gonna call you Blaze," Rush said noticing that the Eevee was awake. "You know why?" he continued leaning towards the small Pokémon.
The Eevee's eye shot up to Rush intrigued by what he was say.
"It's because you and I are a lot alike," Rush brought a fist in front of his face." We've both got burning spirit, and together we will conquer any foe that comes before us. So, what do you say, Blaze? Wanna be part of the family?"
"Blaze smiled and weakly nodded his head before blacking out again.
That took me awhile(oddly has nothing whity to say)... anyway please review, I really need it!
