Unova! The 2nd Chapter!

October 7th, 2012

"Happy Birthday Mei!" Shouted a brunette woman in her early thirties, her hair was worn in a sock bun, and she was carrying a tray of her daughters favorite deserts, chocolate chip cookies!

"Mmm! Something smells delicious!" Shouted a younger girl, who's face was almost an exact copy of her mothers, except for her eyes, whice were a deep ocean blue.

"Thank you mom!" Shouted Mei as she sprang up out off her bed and hugged her moms neck, almost causing her mom to spill the cookies.

Mei's mother stared into space as her daughter shoved over 20 cookies into his mouth at once. "What's up mom?" Asked Mei as she noticed her mothers lack of attention.

"Oh," her mom started, "I need to talk to you about something, you're 14 now, so I just thought-"

"MOM!" Shouted Mei, flustered, "I THOUGHT THAT WE TALKED ABOUT THIS! I AM NOT HAVING THIS TALK!"

"No, it's not about that!" Explained the girl's mother, "Well, I know you have a Pokemon phobia... but..."

Mei's eyes widened with shock, terror, and realization as she realized what her mother was about to do to her, "No..."

"It's about time that we broke that phobia, I've already talked to professor Juniper, and she's arranged everything!"

"Mom!" was all that she could get out, her mother looked like she was about to cry.

"I'm sorry honey, but this is what your father would've wanted, he went on a pokemon journey when he was younger too! Although he wasn't very successful... I was how we met! Please Mei, will you do this, for me, for your father?"

Mei looked thoughtfully at her mother. Yes, her father had died while she was only 5. When he was on a trip to Jhoto, a giant bird Pokemon had crashed into the plane he was riding in, causing Mei's phobia of Pokemon. But Mei did remember that her father loved Pokemon very much, and her phobia wasn't as bad anymore after she remembered this last year.

"Ok mom. I'll do it."

Her mother gave her a huge bear hug, "Thank you honey! Ok now, go find a girl in a huge green hat! She should be somewhere here!"

Outside, Mei found her childhood best friend/rival Hugh. "So, you're finally going to face your fears, huh?"

The brunette rolled her eyes, Hugh was very obedient to her commands, kind of like a dog. "Whatever Hugh."

"Well," He started, "I'm about to set off! I'm getting my little sister's Purrlion back! Stupid Team Plasma..."

Hugh's sister was standing right beside him, looking proud of herself. Mei hated little kids, they think that they can get whatever they want just because their small, especially Hugh's little sister, she was spoiled rotten.

"I see..." Mei muttered, obviously Hugh was oblivious to his sisters tricks, but for the most part his little sister was nice, at least around her.

"Ok," Hugh said, looking at his petite sister, "Time to go home now!"

Before running home, the little girl ran and gave Mei a big hug, "Have fun sissy!"

"Alright, now what are we doing?" Hugh said looking at his best friend.

Looking uneasily at the 15 year old standing before her, she said "We?"

Hugh was smiling now, "Yea! We! We've know each other forever! Why not start a journey together?"

Mei rolled her eyes once more, oblivious to Hugh's blush, "Alright, but we are NOT spending this entire journey together! Now go look for a girl with a big green hat!"

Hugh's eyes lit up, "Oh so we're going on a scavenger hunt?"

Mei looked at her best friend, glad that he was such an idiot sometimes, it really helped lighted up the mood. In all truth, she was terrified of starting her journey! "Nope," she said, smiling nervously, "I'm getting a Pokemon..."

Eyes wide with surprise, her spiky haired companion tried to calm her nerves, "It's all right Mei! Pokemon are actually pretty cool! You wanna see my Tepig? Remember, the one I hatched from an egg?"

Mei's eyes drifted to the sky, "Yeah, sure... I think that'll help."

Hugh took a Pokeball out of his bag, "Go, Tepig!"

A small little fire pig Pokemon popped out of the red and white translucent ball, and ran towards Mei.

Mei was trying her best not to run away, and suppressed a small squeal when the petite Pokemon brushed up against her leg.

"Look" Hugh said, looking at her thoughtfully, "He likes you!"

"Huh?" Mei looked down at the thing, it was adorable! She picked up the Pokemon. "Hm... Well maybe you aren't TOO bad..."

"Alright!" Shouted Mei, putting down Tepig and giving Hugh a determined look, "Let's look for a girl in a big green hat!"

There it was again, Hugh's face had turned bright red! "Hugh... I think you might be sick," Said Mei, with a worried expression, "You're face is burning up!"

"Huh?" Hugh said, he sure was strange sometimes, "N-n-n-no! I'm not sick! Let's go look for your friend!" And with that, Hugh was off!

He pretty much searched everyone's house in Aspertia City! Leaving them in pieces as he did! Finally, when they had almost given up, Mei saw something... something green...

"Hugh! Look! Look!" Shouted Mei, pulling on Hugh's arm, causing him to blush due to physical contact.

"Where Mei?" He asked, not sure where to look. Honestly she wasn't even pointing, AND she was flailing her head around, so he couldn't see where she was looking! He was clueless.

"Up on top of the hill!" She was right! There was something green, barley within sigh.

"Well," Said Hugh, getting into a running stance, "Let's race!"

"Huh?" Mei asked, "Wait... what?" She got into place as well, though she was confused.

"On your mark..." Said Hugh, glancing at Mei every once in a while.

"Get set..." Said Mei, who now fully comprehended what was going on.

"GO" The two shouted together!

Mei chose a simple path than Hugh, she dashed through the street, her feet burning the pavement. She sprinted her hardest, out of all the races Hugh and she had had after all these years, she had only one 2! She just HAD to win this one!

When Hugh took of, he was jumping over fences and running through small alley ways to reach his destination.

Of course, when Mei got to the finish line, which was right in front of the staircase, she was under the impression that she had won, but her hopes were crushed when she saw Hugh climb down from a huge Oak tree!

"Man..." Mei said, wearing a depressed expression, "I should've known I wouldn't have won..."

Hugh looked at her for a while, then came up with an idea, "We can have another race!"

Mei gave him a puzzled look.

"Whoever becomes champion of the Pokemon League first wins!" He exclaimed!

Mei's expression was just as determined as his now, "Alright! What are we waiting for then? Let's go get a Pokemon!"

The two scaled the stairs and gave each other a high five when they finally reached the top of the stairs, they had been correct, the girl with the huge green had was on top the hill, looking into the distance.

Mei ran up to her, she was about two years older than Mei, who was now 14.

"Oh!" The girl exclaimed, "You must be Mei! I'm Bianca!"

Mei smiled nervously at her, "Hey Bianca, so... where's the Pokemon?"

"That's right!" She said, digging around in her huge bag, "Here!" She was holding out a huge container.

"What's that?" Mei asked. Bianca pushed a button and revealed 3 poke-balls!

"Choose which one you want! There's the grass snake, Snivy; the water type Pokemon, Oshawatt; or the fire pig, Tepig!

"Hmm," Mei grunted, thinking over the choice. Tepig was a no go, Hugh had one just like it, and if she got it... No, just no! Then there was that water Pokemon, but it had a weird look on it's face, and last but not least, Snivy! Mei thought she had a cool look to her, "I choose Snivy!"

Bianca's eyes lit up! "Snivy!" She said, "Good choice, you know, when I went on an adventure, I choose Snivy as well!"

"Whoa!" Said Mei, "That means we could be like, best friends now! The Snivy girls!"

"Yeah!" Bianca exclaimed, high-fiving Mei and handing her the poke-ball.

"Hugh look! I think I'll name her... Stubs! Cause she looks stubborn! Go! Stubs!"

The grass snake Pokemon looked at her, giving her a look that said "Really, are you serious?"

"I think she likes it!" Shouted Mei, then taking Stubs in her hands, lifted her up over ledge and started to sing a strange song.

"Um, Mei?" Said a confused Hugh, "What are you doing?"

She looked at him as if he were an idiot, "Really, have you never seen the Purrlion King?"

All Hugh could do know was look at his surprisingly dense best friend, she doesn't seem dense at first, but after knowing her for sometime, you realize that she's a total air-head with occasional sense every once in a while.

"All right Hugh! Are you ready to battle?" She exclaimed, setting Snivy down in front of her.

"Do you not realize the type advantage I have?" Asked Hugh, "Oh well, I'll beat you anyways!" He said, giving Mei a smug look as he said the last part.

To be continued!

I hope y'all enjoy this story about Mei's adventure!
