Dark clouds covered the sky and a chilly breeze blew across the open field as Summer headed along the dusty dirt pathway. She looked around curiously, wondering if there were any Pokémon in the area. It had been several hours since she'd left the Pokémon center and she was getting impatient.
Her ice blue eyes scanned the tall grass on either side of the path, looking for the tell tale movements of a hidden Pokémon. She continued forward for another few feet when out in front of her appeared a purple colored rat Pokémon.
Summer sighed as the small creature attempted to make itself look intimidating. "Go away; I don't want to battle such a weak Pokémon!" She shouted loudly before stepping around the rat and continuing on her way. She didn't want t be mean to it, but was in a really bad mood.
"Geez, is that all this area has to offer?" She muttered to herself. "At this rate, I'll have no chance to train my Pokémon before we get to the next gym."
The blond haired girl continued down the path for another hour. During this time the wind had begun to pick up and distant rumbles of thunder echoed across the area. "Crap, looks like it's going to rain…" she sighed before quickening her pace. She hoped to make the next town before it started to rain.
The tall, blond, Trainer knew someone was watching, but ignored him. She could tell he was weak and didn't think he was worth getting soaked for. As she approached his hiding place he quietly reached down to his belt and carefully removed a red and white Poke ball. He waited…. Until the girl was only a few feet away before standing up and tossing the Poke ball in front of her. "Quilava, I choose you!" He shouted.
Summer glared at him."Get lost."She said."I don't have time to battle a worthless wanna-be Trainer like you"She stepped past him.
"It's a Pokémon battle, and I'm challenging you!" The boy spoke as he stepped into Summer's way. She scoffed.
"Please, don't flatter yourself."She said, her ice blue eyes glaring at him."I can tell your weak. You sent a Fire-Type Pokemon out in the rain. Let me explain something, Fire is weak against Water. Dumbass."She began to walk off again.
The brown haired young man laughed, and grabbed her arm. I felt her anger flicker and rise. That was the only emotion I felt through her these days.
"Oh, I'm good enough. Question is, are you?"He asked.
She glared at him again, and I felt the fear rising up in him. If he was smart, he would have been running. But he didn't. Summer grab a red and white Pokeball, kissed it lightly, and threw it.
"Piplup! Let's kick his ass!"She said. A white light emege from the Pokeball, and began to take a form. A blue penguin a little over a foot high appeared. He had two white circles on his chest, and a blue cape on his back. His face was mostly white, except for the triangle like lines between his eyes.
A grin appeared on the boys face. "A water type huh, I figured that's what you would do!"
"Stop talking and start battling!" Summer shouted back, annoyance could be heard in her voice as she spoke.
The boy nodded. "Quilava, use your tackle attack!"
As the battle began, the first drops of rain began to fall around the two trainers and their Pokémon.
"Piplup, dodge and counter with Bubblebeam!" Summer commanded. She watched as her water type sprung forward and into battle. It was that rush, along with the promise of staying alive, that had drawn her to be a Pokemon Trainer.
As the battle continued both trainers seem to be evenly matched. Summer's Piplup was able to defeat her challengers Quilava, but then lost to his Flaaffy, which was a pink electric sheep Pokemon. Lightning blazed across the darkened sky and cracks of thunder echoed across the area.
Summer wiped her rain soaked hair from her face before reaching for another Poke ball.
"Kirlia, you ready?"She asked me. I nodded my head slightly, and step in front of her. The electric pink sheep snorted, as though I was not a challenge. I felt a small flicker of anger appear in my Trainer's heart, but then disappear. She hated humans, but could never stay mad at a Pokemon.
"Your move."The brown hair Trainer that challenge us said. I glared at him slightly. My Trainer could get sick like this! If that happened, he would pay.
"Kirlia, use Psychic to hold Flaaffy in place!"She ordered. I close my eyes and focus my energy to the middle of my body, and then out my hand. It flowed fast towards the smug sheep, holding her in place.
"Flaffy, use Iron Tail!"He commanded. Flaaffy tried to move, but she couldn't.
"Now, Kirlia! Kirlia, finish this pointless battle with Return!"My Trainer, my best friend, commanded. No. it wasn't a command or a order, it was a option. SHe cared deeply about me as I ran towards Flaffy. Every memory we had together.
Her saving me from those Honchkrows when I was just a Ralts...
Us running away from that hell of a house...
Winning our first Gym Badge at Oreburgh...
Everything.
We've been through everything together, and I wouldn't fail her now.
I rammed into Flaaffy, and sent her flying. She hit the rocks a few yards from where we were battling and broke them. I dance happily back to my Trainers, as the one we had just faced returned his fainted Pokemon.
I felt disappointment, but something else. Kindness in his heart, and towards us even though we were the cause of his disappointment. He turned and faced us.
"Thank you for our battle. Your very good."He said. He then unzipped his coat and threw at Summer, who cought it with one hand.
"Why'd you give me this?"She asked, a hint of annoyance could be heard in her voice.
"Because, you'll get a cold for being out here, and it'll be my fought."His warm brown eyes sparkled. He then turned to leave. Summer threw the coat back at him, making his alreay soaked black tee even wetter. He stopped walking.
"If I wanted your help, I would asked for it."Summer said. Her voice as cold as her eyes."And next time you see me, don't talk to me. You'll only embaress yourself." She stucked her hands in her pocket and walked past him. I followed silently.
The boy suddenly reached out, and grabbed her arm. She was caught off guard and stepped back to catch her balance.
"What the hell is your problem?"He yelled."I was being generous, and you just throw it back back in my face?"
Summer yanked her arm out of his grip, and smack in the process. There was a red mark from were she had hit him, and she began to go off at him.
"Listen here, you stupid human!"She yelled, stepping up closer and and getting in his face. I could feel the shock in him, her being so bold did that to a lot of people."You DON'T touch me ever. And unless you want to get your ass handed to you twice today in a row, don't ever talk to me again."She then stalked away, leaving that idiot of a Trainer with his mouth hanging open.
I began to follow my friend, when the Trainer we had just defeated handed me the jacket. I looked at him confuse.
"Think of it as a reason to see her again."He winked and walked away from me.
"Kirlia!"Summer's voice called. I turned to see her looking at me confuse as she walked over to me."Why are you holding that, it's gross."She took the jacket out of my hand."I would throw it at him, again , but he's gone."She glared in the direction he had walked.
"Come on, Kirlia. Let's hurry to the next town so we can get you out of this rain."She began to jog down the somewhat rocky path. I looked once more at the direction the other Trainer had walked, and then followed her down the path surrounded by the dense, green trees.
It was he next day, and could immediately feel something was wrong with Summer. She wasn't feeling well, and yet there she was, forcing herself to stand up. Acting like nothing was wrong.
"Hey, Kirlia."She said. She was trying to act calm. She knew I could feel the little emotions she had left. She moved slowly to the door as I rush over to her.
"Stop it! You're sick! You need to rest!"I said, but to most people it would just sound like: Kir- Kirlia! But not her. I knew she understood me as well as I understood her.
"I'm fine Kirlia."She said, and opened the door.
"Hey."Said a voice. We both turned our heads to see the brown hair and eye boy we had defeated yesterday.
"What the hell are you doing here?"Summer growled.
"Didn't Kirlia tell you?"He asked."I gave her my jacket. I'm just here to retrieve it."
Summer snorted."Please, that piece of crap? I threw it away."She began to walk down the white wall hallway. The boy reached out to grab her arm, but she was expecting it this time.
"Geez your predictable."She said, smirking slightly."Can't you tell your just a insignificant life form to me? Go...away...before I...before I.."She began breathing heavily and then collapse. The boy caught her with one arm before I could do anything. I had to admit I was mad and jealous. He had saved her. That was my job.
"Whoa! Are you okay?"He looked down at her. Anybody could see he was worried, and I could feel it."Kirlia, go get Nurse Joy! And quick!"
I growled slightly, hating that he had ordered me to do something, but nevertheless, ran down to get Nurse Joy.
I hoped silently that it wouldn't be too late.
Too bad hopes don't always come true.
