Episode one
The harsh light was an unwelcome reminder that Blake was late. He stood there, letting his eyes adjust. He was tall and skinny, his unkempt blonde hair bright in the summer sun. He carried one pokeball on a bracelet around his wrist, and had a heavy, durable pack upon his shoulders. His Bagon stood beside him, tugging at his cargo shorts to try and get him to move. He had just begun his pokemon journey, and he wanted to thank the one who set him on that path.
"Hurry up Akadra, we need to get to Rustboro by noon or we'll miss Roxanne." Blake voiced with equal amounts of excitement and apprehension. "If we don't make it in time we'll have to wait until tomorrow to tell her the good news."
"Bagon, bagon bay." she replied, still annoyed her farewells were cut short.
"Well, I could've just left you with your friends if you didn't want to say goodbye. Besides, this was your idea. Remember, I'm the reclusive one, not you. Geez, I'm not crazy because I can understand you. I'm crazy because I listen to your harebrained ideas."
A perplexed voice interjected, "Um, excuse me, may I ask how you get to Rustboro, I can see it, but someone took down the road signs."
An awkward silence followed, only to be broken by Akadra, "Gon, bagon baybagon." she said to Blake.
"What are you talking about, I wasn't staring! How come you always say stuff like that! You know people discomfort me so stop it!" said Blake, "Sorry about that. I'm heading to Rustboro if you need help getting there. That's a lovely outfit by the way, I really like the skirt. And again I'm really sorry about Akadra. I'm Blake by the way, what's your name?"
"Uhhhh, I'm Anika. Thanks for the offer but I remembered I have a map, bye."
As she walked away Akadra and Anika both commented, "Geez, what a weirdo. I'd never travel with that person." making sure it was unheard by the other though.
"Well, that was a glorious waste of time." said Blake to Akadra, "How about we ride to Rustboro on that big flat rock over there to save time. It'll be just like sledding. Sledding's fun, and it's only like a forty five degree slope."
Akadra shot a glance of utter disappointment and contempt at Blake.
"Fine you can walk, I'm taking the rock."
The rock careened halfway to Rustboro before hitting a small boulder and forcibly dismounting its passengers. Luckily, they made it another third of the way down before they finally came to a stop by the good grace of one of the larger trees.
"See, I knew it was a good idea." Blake sputtered as his nose bled profusely. "We didn't get hurt near as much as when tried to get that aspear berry back from that tentacool horde."
"Bagon, baybagon."
"Oh yeah, I forgot about the Sharpedos that attacked us after I scratched my face on that rock. Ah, good times."
"Gonbagon."
"Good idea. We'll sleep here, then go see Roxanne tomorrow. Oh, hi Anika, keep rocking that skirt."
As Akadra and Blake fell into unconsciousness, Anika hurried to Rustboro, now even more worried about her psychiatry appointment.
(I would deeply appreciate it if you left a review, thanks. And this first one's started out as just a character run. It gets way better as you progress.)
