Endless
Chapter 1.
Her Dewott by her side, Hilda ran down Route 4. Sand in her eyes and the wind blowing through, she skidded to a halt in front of the gate. Nimbasa City. At least she's made it here before –
"HIIIILLLLDAAA!~"
Bianca. Hilda scuttled into the gate, hiding behind a pot plant.
"Oh, where'd she go… I was almost sure I saw her coming past here…" As Bianca examined the plant pot on the other side of the monitor, Hilda's nose began to tickle.
"Wot…" Dewott could sense the change in Hilda's body language, knowing something was going to happen.
"I guess I just imagined her. Huh. Onto Nimbasa!" Bianca skipped out of the gate, tripping over herself slightly.
"A-A-ACHOO!" Hilda sneezed, blowing the sand grains out of her nose. Thankfully, Bianca was already through the gate, so she didn't hear anything.
"Alright Dewott! Let's go to the city!"
"Wot! Dewott!"
Hilda looked around her.
"Wow…"
Coming from such a small town, Hilda found big cities intimidating. Castelia's skyscrapers made her fell so small, and this city wasn't much better, with it's massive landmarks. She was sure sightseeing would be on her agenda. Hilda quickly located the gym, and made an appointment to battle the Gym Leader, who was called Elesa, on Thursday. Then, she set out about tracking down the Pokémon Centre.
"Wot wot! Dee!"
"I know you're tired Dewott. I am too. But we have to find the… oh!"
A big building with glass doors and a luminous loomed up in front of her.
"Look Dewott! The Pokémon Center!"
"Deeewott!"
Hilda started to walk across the street, headed towards those glass doors. Suddenly, she tripped over a rock in the street, landing face first on the ground.
"WOT!" Dewott ran over to his trainer, shaking her lightly.
"I'm fine Dewott!" she said, pulling herself up and laughing.
"HEY!" A boy about the same age as Hilda with cinnamon hair came running up to them. "Are you okay? I saw you fall…"
"Yeah, I'm fine. Just a bit clumsy, that's all."
"You sure?"
"Yeah. Thanks for… your concern or whatever."
"No problem. Try to be more careful." He nodded once, readjusting his red and black baseball cap, and walked back in the direction he came.
"Hi Nurse Joy!" Hilda said, walking up to the counter.
"Hello there! Welcome to the Pokémon Center! How can I help you?"
"Can you heal my Pokémon, please?" she asked, pushing four Pokéballs towards Nurse Joy.
"Of course!" She took the Pokéballs, placing them in the Healing Machine and turning it on. "It'll just be one minute."
"Can I also have a room…?" she asked, fiddling with the brim of her cap.
"Sure! Number 14 is free… and here is your key," she said, handing Hilda a grey card key. The Healing Machine beeped, and Nurse Joy collected Hilda's Pokémon.
"Thanks so much!"
Hilda walked out of the lobby, skipping up two flights of stairs and halfway along the corridor that lead to her room. She swiped the card, walking into the room. The walls were a pearly grey, except for the one surrounding the window, which was a lace white. The bed had a multicoloured throw over the top of a silver cover. Hilda dropped her pink bag on the bedside, and flopped down on the bed as her Xtransceiver began to ring.
"Mom! Hey!"
"Hello sweetie! How are you?" her mom smiled at her from Nuvema Town.
"I'm good! I got to Nimbasa today!"
"Oh, good. I'd hoped you'd be there. You see, I have a package in the Pokémon Centre and I need you to give it to my friend Ava in Anville Town. As soon as possible."
"Alright. I'll do it tomorrow morning. I was planning to use the subway to go to Anville at some point anyway."
"Good girl. Have fun, and keep safe!" Her mom waved, and pressed end call, making the Xtransceiver screen went black. Hilda changed into her pyjamas: a black t-shirt with the Accumula Audino foot ball team's logo and pink shorts, and climbed into her bed. Within minutes, she was asleep, having dreams about fluffy Buneary.
Well, what did you think? The whole plot for this story came into my had one day, and I had to get started. Please review, it makes the whole thing seem all the more worthwhile.
