"Are you sure you will be alright by yourself Hikari?" Satoshi asked with slight worry in his tone.
I smiled "Satoshi i'll be fine, no need to worry right?"
He nodded "No need to worry"
Our hands met in a high five one last time before the boat horn went off signaling Satoshi and Takeshi had to leave.
With one last wave they boarded the ship, tears threatened to fall from my eyes.
The ship left, hanging my head, i refused to let tears fall.
"Hikari!"
I looked back up to see Takeshi and Satoshi waving goodbye to me.
I smiled and ran down the docks to get closer to the boat, once at the end i cupped my mouth with my hands.
"See you both again someday! Satoshi! Takeshi!" I shouted.
"You too Hikari!"
Piplup waved off Pikachu, bidding him farewell in his own laguage, i smiled, instead of the tears of sorrow i was once going to shed, tears of joy fell.
"Dont forget about me guys..."
That was the last time i saw them...
[4 years later]
BEEP...BEEP...BEEP...BEEP...BEEP- SMASH!
I growled, why does my mum insist i keep a alarm clock? I mean seriously... and she sets it at seven o'clock every morning! Newsflash! ITS THE FUCKING WEEKEND!
I sat up, rubbing my eye, doing so knocking Piplup off the bed.
He cried in shock and fell to my ocean blue carpeted floor, hitting it with a loud 'Thud'
"Piplup! Im so sorry!" I apologized, going to the edge of the bed and scooping him into my arms, looking at him in worry.
He chirped and stood up, knocking his flipper against his chest proudly.
I giggled "Yes, i know your strong, i just want you to be alright though..." I kissed his cheek and set him on the bed, promptly standing up and stretching.
Piplup blushed before shaking it off, leaping off my bed and running to my wardrobe.
"Oh yeah, could you pick something out for me Piplup?" I asked as i walked over to my desk, grasping the hairbrush in my hands and running it through my midnight blue hair.
He nodded and scrabbled through my wardrobe, looking for what he thinks suits the mood.
I took some clips into my hands and set my hair up the way i usually do, adding a pink bow at the back, i twirled a little, letting my hair catch the wind.
I felt a poke on my leg and looked down to see Piplup smiling, in his flippers, a white summer top with a pink and black pokeball symbol on it, a black leather jacket, grey denim shorts and my pink and black trainers.
I smiled and patted his head "You get the taste of fashion off me" I pointed to myself.
He huffed and shook his head, running out my bedroom door to do who knows what.
I quickly threw my clothes on, looking in the mirror and correcting a few things before heading downstairs and strolling into the kitchen.
I saw Piplup, Buneary, Pachirisu and Cyndaquil curled up on the couch, i smiled for a moment before going to the fridge, noticing a note i took it between my fingers and read it:
Hikari,
I've headed out for a interview and wont be back until 10pm.
I have left lunch in the fridge for whenever you want it, take off the plastic film before cooking otherwise it will melt into it, and please use the oven gloves so you dont burn yourself.
I rolled my eyes "Because of course there is nothing worse than a burn" I continued to read the letter.
The pokemon food is in the cupboard, the one where i keep the grooming supplies, when you feed your pokemon, can you feed Glameow and Umbreon as well dear?
If anyone knocks dont answer, or at least wait to see if they call your name, if so then open the door and ask them what is wrong, dont let any people in the house, PREFERABLY NOT GUYS! YOU REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED LAST TIME!
I flinched "Jesus, no need to shout at the paper woman..." I shuddered at the memory at what happened last time i let Kenny inside my house.
That son of a bitch...
I continued to read.
Also, i was suprised but at 6 in the morning, professor rowan called over and said he wanted to have a talk with you, probably just to see the health of your pokemon, no doubt.
Thats all for now, though if you are planning to go out, take your pokemon and lock the door behind you.
Love Mummy x
"Mummy?" I chuckled "Im 15 now, Mummy?" I burst out laughing which made my pokemon jump and glare at me.
I looked at them and blushed "Sorry..." I scratched my cheek sheepishly, placing the note down on the counter and taking a pecha berry from the fruit bowl.
"So Rowan wants to see me?" I looked at my pokegear, It read '9:24am' I growled, so much for sleeping in...
"So i can leave to go to the lab at half past, which gives me six minutes to get ready" I got my pokeballs of the counter and approached the still annoyed Cyndaquil, Piplup, Buneary and Pachirisu, i returned everyone but Piplup, who jumped onto my shoulder.
I quickly tied my scarf around my neck and looked in the livingroom that reached from the ground to the ceiling, over the past couple of years my body had took in the effects of puberty and made me more curvy, my hips had grown larger same as my chest, though i didnt eat much at all, my body had kept even.
I smiled "You ready Piplup?"
He nodded and let out a little squeak as i ran out the door, not without locking the door and checking it twice.
As i walked down the path i couldnt help but admire twinleaf towns beauty, it hadnt changed a bit all the time ive lived here, i never does, it was perfect just the way it was.
On that thought i tripped and a rock, but steadying myself in time to not actually fall, lucky enough for me.
Piplup brushed his flippers through my hair in boredom "Piplup, Pip-Lup?" Where are we going exactly?
I smiled at him "Sorry, forgot to tell you. Professor Rowans lab"
He simply nodded "Lup Lup Piplup Pip?" Do you think we will see Paul, Kenny and Barry?
"Maybe, Maybe not, Kenny and Paul are still travelling though, they might not have the time to come to the lab" I pointed out "But if Barry was called, yes, he will be there no doubt"
Me and Jun had been catching up a lot lately, we were like brother and sister no doubt, and the strongest in Twinleaf, fuck Kengo...
Shinji and Me talk a bit as well, hes not as enclosed as he used to be but we do have small conversations when we can be bothered, you could call us brother and sister... Not really though...
Kengo... Was such a dickhead, i mean seriously, im not even going to go there...
I froze for a second, Piplup stopped and looked at me.
"Piplup? Lup?" Dawn are you ok?
I shuddered "Satoshi..."
At the mention of his name, my head froze for a few moments, Piplup just stared at me, then started stroking his flipper up and down my cheek.
I shook my head and looked at Piplup with a cheerful smile.
"Im fine! No need to worry!" And with that i started walking again, a fake smile plastered to my face.
"Pip... Pip lup" Whatever you say...
I was breaking down on the inside, just hearing his name made me want to break buildings, it was so hard to say goodbye, i just need to get over the fact hes not coming back...
I didnt even notice i had entered Sangem town until i ran into a signpost, Piplup burst out laughing.
"Its not funny!" I cried, rubbing my nose.
He just kept laughing, i sighed and walked away from the lamppost, once you entered sangem town, you cant miss the lab, its practically the town itself!
I stood outside, going towards stepping inside, before.
"WATCH OUT!"
My back was met with the sharp sting, the type that only one person can cause me.
"JUN YOU IDIOT!" I Screeched, Piplup tumbling off my shoulder.
"Im going to fine you!"
Let the game begin...
