Route 26
It was around eight twenty-seven at night, and Mason and Sandra were
getting very tired. It had been a very long day of training and exploring the
beauty of had been traveling to Mt. Silver to attempt to spot the
ledgendary Moltres, and had been awake since about four o' clock, so naturally
everyone was quite sleepy.
Mason had begun to set up the tent and would not allow Allow Sandra to
help because it was "Men's work," and attempted to set it up himself. Sandra
made herself useful and tended to the pokemon, making sure they were all well
feed and groomed. It was a philosophy of Sandra's that if a pokemon looked it's
best it could perform at its best.
-Jolteon's POV-
Master's parter, "Oka" as he called her, was a very kind human. She
treated him like her own kin and was able to treat him with the motherly love
that Master never could. Not to say that Master did not love him, in fact he
probobly treated Jolteon better than any of his fellow pokemon, but he was also
very determined and treated Jolteon as more of a friend than a pokemon.
Nevertheless, Jolteon loved his Master and would stay by his side to the very
end, and he knew Master felt the same way about him.
Gardevoir walked over and sat down in the grass next to Jolteon.
Gardevoir was Master's go-to pokemon, she was the strongest and the wisest, but
still treated everyone else as an equal.
"Good evening Jolteon." She smiled and took a bite of a plump red apple.
Juice dribbled down her chin and dripped on the ground. Jolteon's mouth watered,
he was so hungry. He looked up to see his master passing out food to all of his
pokemon. He walked over and Master patted him on the head and gave him a big
apple, bigger than Gaverdevoir's, but who's measuring? He rested his head on
Master's leg to show his gratitude, and ran back over and sat down with
Gardevoir.
"You know..." Gardevoir interrupted herslf by taking another bite of her
apple, "I really do love fruit. It's so juicy and sweet." She continued to talk
but Jolteon wasn't listening. Manetric walked over to Oka and layed down next to
her.
"Ha! That, Sandra is how it's done!" Master yelled over by the structre
he had erected. Master was very talented and knew all the best places to get
food and how to build structures to sleep in.
"Great job, and hey it only took you twenty minutes this time." Oka
responded in a way that caused Jolteon to start to get defensive, but he knew
they often used their words to play games and try to see who could make the
other more mad. He knew this, but he still stayed alert.
Master and Oka set their belongings into the structure and put the
majority of their pokemon into their respective pokeballs. Jolteon and Manetric
were the only ones that got to walk around and sleep next to their trainers.
Manetric was a tall, slender pokemon but was very strong. he held his
head up high and never backed out of a challenge. Manetric had been a mentor of
sorts to Jolteon ever since he evolved. He taught him how to fight and how to
protect his Master. Jolteon looked up to Manetric, and several times found
himself admiring him. These were, of course, very confusing feelings that he
never acted on for fear of losing one of his closest and dearest friends.
Jolteon broke his gaze from Manetric and layed down next to Master for a
good night's sleep.
"Wake up!"
"Jolteon wake up!" Jolteon forced his eyes open and yawned loudly.
Manetric stood over him and bit the scruff of his neck pulling him to his feet.
"He-HEY!"Jolteon yelped, "what's going on?!"
"Quiet down." Manetric snapped back, "I heard something outside. Help me
look around."
"Ok..."Jolteon walked out of the shelter very slowly. Manetric had not
raised his voice to Jolteon in a very long time, and Manetric was scary when he
was angry. Jolteon looked around but felt horrible for making him angry.
-Manetric's POV-
Manetric's ear twitched and a soft rustling awoke him from his slumber.
He got up to take a lookk but it was very dark and was going to need some help.
He looked at his Mistress, but dared not disturb her. The Mistress became
extremly frightening if you woke her up, and manetric never made the same
mistake twice. He turned and looked at Jolteon. He was younger than Manetric and
would be able to see in the dark better than he could.
"Hey." Manetric gave him a soft nudge. "Wake up." Jolteon just shifted
his position and remained asleep. He was such a lazy kid. "Jolteon Wake up!"
Jolteon opened his eyes a little and let out a yawn, but Manetric didn't have
time for him to wait for him to wake up. Manetric bent over him and bit down on
his neck scruff yanking him to his feet.
"He-HEY!"Jolteon yelped, "what's going on?"
"Quiet down. I heard something outside. Help me look around around."
Manetric saw Jolton's expression turn from sleepy to scared. Manetric had begun
to yell at Jolteon without even realizing it.
"Ok..." Jolteon said quietly. Manetric felt horrible, he had not gotten
angry at Jolteon in a very long time, and he hated to see him so scared. Now was
not the time for apologies though, they needed to see if their trainers were in
any danger.
They stepped out into the silent darkness. "Do you see anything?"
Manetric asked Jolteon, being especially careful as to not upset him any
further.
"No, are you sure you heard something?" Jolteon reponded, not taking his
eyes off the treeline. "Maybe it was just a Rattata or a-" Joleon was cut short,
and Manetric turned around to see Jolteon being held up by a tall human in a
funny looking outfit.
"Here's a Jolteon. Do we need one?"
"Giovanni told us to get any and all pokemon, so yes." Another human
responded, but Manetric wasn't concerned with their idle talking. He wanted them
gone and his friend back. He began to charge up his fur to give a warning, one
warning.
"This one's a little feisty." the tall one said and went to capture
Manetric. Manetric got down, and readied his pounce.
please keep in mind that this is a "rough draft" of sorts. I intend on making a revised edition if the story is reviewed well. Please let me know what you think
