Okay the old version of this chapter was super short so I went back and fleshed it out more.
"I can't believe it." I said sitting in the poke-ball completely flabbergasted "I frickin lost."
Before I could get the chance to get my bearings a bright light (That I wasn't to fond of by the way) engulfed my surroundings and I heard a command "Come on out."
As the light got more and more intense I closed my eyes to keep from blinding myself. Suddenly the light was gone and I could feel that I was standing on grass again. When I opened my eyes I was greeted by the Pikachu with a fashion statement. He still had that same genuine and true smile on his face as he spoke.
"Hey." said Spark with a welcoming smile on his face. Well, welcoming if he hadn't just beat the snot out of me one minute ago "I hope we can get to know each other better."
Understandably I wasn't to happy about being captured and I really wasn't happy that I had been beaten in two moves, and I was really very ticked that I was this kid's first Pokemon caught.
Behind me I heard a flip and an artificial voice "Umbreon, the Moonlight Pokemon"
'What the mew?' I thought as I turned my head to see what the goth-kid was doing. In his hand was a device of sorts, almost like a cellphone. I recognized it as a poke-dex, something that Humans use to identify Pokemon
"What the heck is that?" I said sarcastically as I rolled my eyes at the Human device.
"It's a poke-dex" sounded Spark, his voice was right in my ear
I turned to him with an annoyed look on my face "Rhetorical question you dolt."
Spark looked taken aback, "What's up with you? If we're going to travel together we should get along."
"Don't expect me to try" I replied with an arrogant tone, my personal favorite "I didn't want this and belive me, the moment I can slip away I will. I'm not spending the rest of my life helping some stupid human with his hopeless dream."
"Umbreon." sounded the Human's voice from above me.
"What do you want goth?" I said in a spiteful tone and my teeth showing.
Spark walked next to me and leaned on my shoulder "His name isn't goth, it's Jack" said the rodent in a defending tone "And you really shouldn't be so mean."
"Well, if you don't get off me soon you and Jack might have a problem." I replied thinking that it was smart.
"I don't know Umbreon, if I remember right you lost." said Spark with douche smile on his face "And come on, it's not that hard to act nice."
I suddenly felt a blanket of embarrassment overtake me. I lost, not to some super-strong wild Pokemon or an elite four trainer, but to some kid that just left Pallet. Hell, I was probably his first battle and I got my butt completely kicked.
With my ego soundly in check I gritted my teeth and said "You got lucky, next time we fight I'll be sure not to play around with you."
Spark put another smile on his face, except this one was genuine as he extended his paw "Well, I guess you won't. But until then we'll be traveling together so I think we should try and get along."
I wasn't sure if the Pikachu knew that he had just said that, but I wasn't in the mood to point it out."I said I would not underestimate you," I turned my head away from him "Not like you."
Jack seemed to notice that Spark and I weren't getting along to well. He walked over to me and knelt next to me, looking me straight in the eyes. It was the first time that I saw he had green eyes, deep green eyes. He placed his hand on my head and tried to pet me. But I wasn't about to take that, with one swift movement I smacked his hand off "No touching Human."
His eyes were wide with surprise. "Alright, fine. It doesn't matter what you do Night, we are partners now and we will need to work together if we want to achieve something."
Out of that whole sentence the only word I pick out was Night. Seriously kid, that's the best nickname you could come up with, Night? That's not even creative or cool. I would have gone with Dark-paw or Demon-eyes, something intimidating. I mean, I thought that kids had good imaginations.
With that said Jack stood up and looked at the path ahead of him with determination. "That's the road to the Viridian forest guys, from here on out we're all in this together. If we take a shortcut through here we can get around Viridian city and go straight to Pewter." He turned around and looked at us with a smile "Right guys?"
Spark pumped his fist with enthusiasm "Heck yeah!"
I placed my paws on my head 'Perfect, now I have to go though the forest with these idiots.'
