"No, no this wasn't right."Cheren was trying to find the right gift to give to White for her birthday.
him and White had been good friends since they were three but they were three but they
were fourteen now and old enough to start their Pokemon journey.
professor Juniper had given them their pokemon that morning and they start their journey tomorrow and Cheren knew he would have no other time to get her a gift.
He pouted at the small Comballion keychain he had, had in his hand a minute ago.
White wasn't easy to buy for she was different.
Cheren left the little pokemon store empty handed maybe he would find something in one of the few gift stores (three in total) not many people ever came to Numeva town well it wasn't really a tourist attraction. Cheren liked it though the fourteen year old boy had lived there his entire life and the population never grew much higher than thirty.
Cheren shuffled home disappointed that he still had not found a gift for his best friend.
Then it hit him! The new department store that just opened up in town! Maybe he could find something there.
Cheren ran to the new store,(nearly tripped a few times but he made it.)
He had never been inside before and only walked past it a few times. It was fairly small but looked interesting, he went inside.
The store had two stories and two stair cases. it had a food court, infant section, clothes section, Pokemon section and book section. Cheren thought about the book section unlike him White hated reading. Then he thought about clothing but he didn't know her size.
He walked past the infant isle but White wasn't an infant so there wasn't any point in going in there.
Then he saw it a beautiful drawing pad White loved drawing Great he thought Cheren bought the Drawing Pad then rushed home to wrap it.
"GOOD BYE MOTHER! gotta go meet Cheren!" White yelled as she ran down the stairs" WAIT!" her mother said chasing her "I have a birthday present for you." her mom handed her an xtransciver
"so we can keep in touch" White hugged her mother said good bye again thenran out the door screaming "I'M GONNA BE A POKEMON MASTER!"
White ran to Cheren's house and when she got there she rang the door bell. his mom answered the door "hi white" she said in a meek voice like Cheren she was very quiet. White never understood why.
"I'll get Cheren" she said again so quiet she could barely hear her
Cheren came down stairs soon after and it seemed as though he blushed when she saw her face.
He said goodbye to his family They finally left on there way to route one and didn't say much until a few minutes away from route one Cheren decided to Break the scilence. "Here" he said quieter than his mother and blushed again he handed her a wrapped parcel "Wow thank you" she said
White opened the box carefully. untying the blue ribbon, then she unwrapped the violet paper.
When she saw it a smile spread across her face she went to hug him but he flinched and stepped back so she just thanked him again awkwardly and "Ummm let's keep going" Cheren said "Yeah" white agreed.
