Chapter two: Anora's new home Part 2
Anora had just started unpacking a few minutes ago as she sorted out her clothing and placed them into the drawers of her new dresser. Mimi was lying on her bed sleeping with her body curled up into a ball, while her nose was tucked into her tail. Anora was just pulling out one of her shirts from her suitcase when she heard a knock at her bedroom door.
Anora turned to look at the door "Come in!"
The door opened to reveal Charlie, who was now wearing a white short sleeved shirt instead of his blue police shirt. He had a smile on his face when he saw that Anora was getting settle in her new room.
"Are you ready to meet your cousins again, Anora?" asked Charlie.
Anora had a bit of an unsure look upon her face before giving her uncle a small smile "Yeah, I think so."
Mimi, who had woken up from her nap, yipped before Anora held out her left arm to the little fox Pokémon climb up it. Mimi soon perched herself on Anora's left shoulder and calmly sat there. Anora took in a deep breath before she followed her uncle to the kitchen living room. She walked down the stairs behind her uncle before stopping on the last five steps when she saw four people in the living room sitting on the large sofa. There were three older people and one young boy sitting on the sofa together as they whispered amongst each other.
One of the people was a young red headed man that looked to be twenty three years old. He was wearing a white short sleeved shirt, yellow firefighter overall pants and black firefighter boots.
The second person was a young man that looked to be twenty two years old with short light brown hair. Sitting on the young man's nose were a pair of square glasses with light blue lenses. He was wearing a white shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows, blue jeans that were held up by a brown belt with tool pouches and black worker boots, and tied loosely around his neck was a blue necktie.
The third person was a young dark brown haired woman that looked to be twenty years old. She was wearing a dark charcoal grey flight suit with six pockets. Two of the pockets were located on her upper sleeves, and the four pockets were on the top and lower parts of her pants. Around the woman's hips was a black belt with a silver metal buckle, and there were light brown straps that were located around her shoulders and upper legs. On the knee part of the flight suit were light brown shin guards. Lastly she was wearing dark brown boots and gloves.
The last one on the sofa was a young boy that looked to be about eight years old, with short blonde hair with long bangs hanging over his forehead. He was wearing a fleece collared brown jacket over a short sleeved grey green shirt, light brown pants and brown boots.
Anora gulped nervously as she stared at the four new people that were on the sofa before tensing when the young boy turned his dark brown eyes on her. The three older people turned when they noticed the young boy looking towards the stairs and saw Anora standing there. Anora quickly ran down the last steps of the stairs before hiding behind Charlie, while she nervously looked at the four new people in front of her.
"Hey dad, who's the squirt?" asked the red headed boy with a raised eyebrow.
Charlie side stepped to bring Anora out into view before placing his left hand on Anora's right shoulder to comfort her.
"Kids, I want to reintroduce you to your cousin, Anora," said Charlie gently. "Anora, these are my kids and your cousins, Kade, Dani, Graham and Cody."
The three boys on the sofa looked at their father in confusion, but the older girl, Dani's, face brightened in recognition as she stood up from the sofa and walked towards Anora. Mimi jumped down from Anora's shoulders and into her arms as the young teen stared nervously up at the approaching woman before Dani came to stand in front of her.
"Anora…Is that really you?" asked Dani in a gentle voice.
Anora blinked in surprise and confusion before slowly nodding her head at the woman. Dani gently smiled at Anora before she spoke again.
"Wow, it's been a long time since we last saw you kiddo, you've really grown up. You probably don't remember me, but my name is Daniella, one of your older cousins. But everybody calls me Dani for short."
Anora slowly smiled back at Dani "It's...it's nice to see you again Dani."
"Wait a minute," spoke the red headed man, Kade, as he and the two other males, Graham and Cody, walked up to stand behind Dani. "Are you saying that this is our little baby cousin from mom's side of the family that we haven't seen for years."
"I don't really remember meeting her," said Cody as he stared up at Anora curiously.
"That's because you weren't born yet Cody," said Graham as he smiled down at the boy.
"Yeah, and I definitely don't remember her carrying around that thing," spoked Kade with a frown as he pointed to Mimi.
Mimi tensed up in Anora's arms as the little Pokémon glared up at the red head in anger and suspicion. Anora hugged Mimi closer to her chest as she nervously looked up at Kade. Cody took one glance at Mimi and smiled excitedly when he realized what the little fox was.
"Noble, is that a Pokémon?" asked Cody as he looked up at Anora.
Anora looked at Cody shyly before nodding her head "Her names Mimi and she's an Eevee."
Cody slowly held out his hand towards Mimi "Is it okay if I pet her?"
"Cody, be careful," warned Dani as she placed a hand on the boy's shoulder. "Remember, Pokémon can be dangerous and you should never get near one in case they attack you."
"Mimi wouldn't do that," said Anora as she defended her Eevee friend. "She's nice and gentle, and she wouldn't hurt anyone unless she's provoked."
"Yeah, but still..."
Cody gently pushed Dani's hand off his shoulder before he slowly held out his hand in front of Mimi's face. Mimi looked back and forth between Cody's hand and eyes for a moment before leaning forward to sniff at the boy's fingers. The little fox Pokémon gave a friendly yip as she used her right paw to lightly bat at Cody's fingers in a friendly gesture. Anora blinked in surprise at this before looking at Cody as she gave him a small smile.
"I think you've just earned Mimi's trust," said Anora.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah," said Kade impatiently, "But that doesn't change the fact that Pokémon aren't allowed to be in the firehouse!"
Anora grew fearful as she turned sideways to shield Mimi from the older Burns sibling.
"Kade that's enough," said Charlie as he glared at his eldest son. "Mimi is Anora's only friend and the two of them are not going to be separated."
"Also, it's a known fact that Eevee's are friendly Pokémon and they're pretty popular for people to have as pets," said Graham.
Kade glared at Graham before he stubbornly crossed his arms over his chest. Graham let out a sigh before he walked towards Anora, while giving her a friendly smile.
Graham knelt down and held out his hand towards Anora "My name's Graham, Kade's younger sibling and second oldest in the family."
Anora looked at Graham's hand for a moment before she shyly reached out with her left hand to shake his. She started to feel a little bit more confident around these new people, but she wasn't all that comfortable with Kade, and she couldn't help but feel that he might be someone she wasn't going to get along with in the future. Suddenly, without warning, Anora's stomach began to growl along with Mimi's stomach. The two friends blushed as they looked down at the ground in embarrassment. Everyone looked at Anora in surprise and confusion, but it was Charlie who understood why Anora's stomach growled.
"Your parents haven't given you breakfast back home did they," stated Charlie with a frown.
Anora continued to look down at the ground as she slowly shook her head 'no'. Charlie let out a sigh of frustration at how Molly and her husband had neglected to let their daughter eat something before leaving home.
"Well, let's all get settled and have lunch," said Charlie as he gazed at Anora, Mimi and his kids.
Anora looked up at her uncle as she gave him a small appreciative smile before Charlie led her to the kitchen table. Once everyone was at the table, Charlie slipped on a kitchen apron with the picture of a hula girl on the front of it. Anora sat near the end of the table with Cody, while Dani sat on her left. Dani had taken off her gloves and the top part of her flight suit, which revealed a short sleeved white shirt underneath, with it now tied around her waist. Mimi sat in Anora's lap as the young teen gently stroked her fur with her free hand. Dani watched with a curious eye at how still Mimi sat in Anora's lap and couldn't help, but slowly reach out to touch the little Pokémon. Mimi, as if sensing Dani's hand coming towards her, lifted her head up to look at Dani curiously. Dani froze with her hand only a few inches away from Mimi's face.
"Um...nice little Mimi," spoke Dani in a nervous voice.
Mimi gazed at Dani's hand for a second before sniffing it. The little Pokémon then let out another happy yip before nudging the side of her head against Dani's hand. Dani blinked in surprise before she began to gently pet the little Pokémon, while Mimi let out a happy cooing sound. Anora gently smiled at seeing Mimi being petted by Dani. She had been worried that Mimi would have felt overwhelmed at being around new people, but so far the little Pokémon was calm and was letting her cousins touch her.
"Aw...she's so cute," said Dani with a smile as she petted the young Eevee. "And her fur is so soft. You must take really good care of her Anora."
Anora blushed at Dani's comment "Well...it helps to find the right berries for Mimi to eat."
Graham became interested in the conversation "What kind of berries?"
Anora blushed even redder as she shyly looked down at the ground for a moment before looking up at her cousins again. She was about to answer Graham's question when Kade suddenly spoke up.
"Who cares what kind of berries her pet eats," said Kade with a scoff. "A Pokémon is a Pokémon and that's all we need to know, not to mention that they're nothing but trouble."
Anora frowned at what Kade said, while Mimi popped her head up to look at Kade over the table as she glared at him. Cody, Dani and Graham gave their older brother a disapproving glare. Kade glanced around at his siblings in confusion before frowning in annoyance.
"What? It's true!"
Anora let out a sigh before looking down at Mimi as she gently petted her friend's back to calm her down. Charlie was in the kitchen as he began to whip-up some lunch for his children and niece. He heard what Anora had just said and turned to look over his shoulder to talk to her.
"So what kind of berries does your friend like?" asked Charlie curiously.
Anora looked at her uncle for a moment before thinking "Um...The berries that Mimi likes are Pecha Berries, Oran Berries, Liechi Berries and strawberries."
The Burns siblings looked at Anora in confusion when she told Charlie about the three berries that Mimi liked. Charlie raised an amused eyebrow at his children's confused faces before he spoke again.
"Sorry Anora, we don't have any of the three berries that you mention, but we do have strawberries if that's alright with Mimi."
Mimi yipped from Anora's lap as Anora smiled at her uncle in understanding.
"Strawberries sound just fine Uncle Charlie," said Anora.
Charlie nodded his head before he walked to the fridge and pulled out a basket full of strawberries. Mimi let out a cheerful yipped when she saw the basket of strawberries before she jumped off of Anora's lap. The little fox Pokémon run up to Charlie before coming to a stop in front of him. Mimi sat down on the floor a few feet away from Charlie with her tail wagging in excitement. Charlie chuckle as he washed a few of the strawberries under the tap before placing them into a small bowl. Once he placed the strawberries into the bowl, Charlie set it down on the floor in front of Mimi.
"There you go girl," said Charlie.
Mimi yipped in thanks before she began to chow down on the strawberries, eating them slowly as she savored their sweet flavor. Charlie turned back to what he was doing as he started to cook up a few hot dogs on the stove. Cody turned to look at Anora and asked her a question that popped into his head.
"So, how did you meet Mimi?"
Anora glanced sadly at Cody for a moment before she answered his question.
"Well...I met Mimi when I saved her from a group of kids who were throwing rocks at her."
Cody and his siblings had looks of shock, and confusion on their faces when Anora told them what had happened to Mimi.
"That's just cruel," said Dani with an angry frown on her face. "Why would those kids do that to an innocent Pokémon like Mimi?"
"Well...where I come from, the people of my hometown hate Pokémon," explained Anora sadly as she gazed at all of her cousins. "My parents included. The only person that doesn't hate Pokémon was the local nurse in my hometown's only Pokémon Center, Nurse Joy. I took Mimi to the Pokémon Center where Nurse Joy was able to heal her, and that was when I made the decision of becoming friends with Mimi. Mimi and I somehow instantly bonded with each other on the first day, and we've been best friends for four weeks."
"So...basically you and that pipsqueak of a Pokémon haven't known each other for very long," stated Kade bluntly.
Anora decided to ignore Kade as Cody asked her another question.
"So...how did you convince Dad to let Mimi come along with you?"
"Honestly, I had no idea that Mimi had tagged along with me on the drive back to Griffin Rock," said Anora with a shrug. "She must have somehow gotten into my backpack last night while I was sleeping. Though I'm glad she did, otherwise I would have been a little lonely and scared when I arrived here on Griffin Rock."
"Can't really blame you," said Dani with a sad smile. "You haven't really visited us in long time and you don't have many memories of us either."
"Yeah," voiced Anora as she looked down at the table's surface. "I can't even remember what Aunt Kayla looks like."
The Burns siblings sadly looked at one when Anora mention their mother. Even though it had been years since their mother's death, they still felt the loss as if it had happened only yesterday to them. Graham was the first one to speak as he turned to look at Anora.
"You know, our mother wanted to see you again. She said that you had been quite rambunctious and adventurous when you were little."
Anora looked up at Graham with interest when he told her that "R-really?"
"Yeah," answered Dani with a chuckle. "She always told us how you had reminded her of how she was like when she was a kid."
A blush of embarrassment appeared on Anora's cheeks, while she smiled sheepishly at what Dani had just said. But that blush disappeared when Kade spoke again in a scoffing voice.
"Yeah, well, to bad Anora isn't like she used to be when she was a kid. Now she's just...weird and timid."
"Kade!" shouted Graham, Dani and Cody as they glared at their older brother.
"What?"
Charlie then walked over to the table with a one plate filled with hot dogs, while the other plate held a pile of hot dog buns. He placed the two plates on the table before he looked at Kade with a gentle, yet firm look upon his face.
"People can go through a lot of changes, Kade," said Charlie firmly. "Sometimes it's for the best, sometimes it can be for the worst. But let's not talk about that now, right now we should enjoy our lunch."
Anora and her cousins nodded as they began to use the forks, which had been placed on the table a few moments ago, to take the hot dogs off the plate, while they grabbed two or three hot dog buns from the other plate. Charlie went to the fridge again and pulled out two bottles with one of them having ketchup, while the other one held muster. He placed the two bottles on the table before he took a seat at the table and began to dig into the hot dogs as well. Anora ate her hot dogs slowly as she wanted to savor them for a bit, while she watched how her uncle and cousins interacted with each other.
Back when she was younger, Anora's parents had never sat at the same table with her. They were always too busy working at their jobs to come home for supper. So Anora had never gotten the chance to talk to her parents about her day like how her cousins and uncle were talking amongst each other. She couldn't help but feel a little envious about how happy her cousin's and uncle were. Anora can only hope to find happiness someday, but for now she was content with being a part of this family. Anora continued to eat in silence for a while before Dani spoke up as she turned to look at Anora.
"So, Anora, are you going to get a Pokémon Trainer's license so that you can keep Mimi?" asked Dani curiously.
Anora nodded her head at Dani "Uncle Charlie said that he would talk to one of the Pokémon Professor's today."
Cody became excited as he leaned against the table "Are you going to Doc Greene's lab to get your Pokémon Trainer's license?"
Anora turned to look at Cody curiously "Doc Greene?"
"Doc Greene is one of the Pokémon Professor's that lives on our island," explained Charlie as he entered the conversation. "He's also one of our lead scientists that helps invent the tech on the island."
"Where does he live?" asked Anora curiously.
"He lives up at the lab that's located high up on the mountain," explained Charlie. "He does a lot of testing and building on technology, but he also researches Pokémon to see what he can learn from them, although there aren't very many Pokémon on Griffin Rock."
Anora looked at her uncle in surprise "What do you mean?"
"Well, the people on Griffin Rock are more use to technology than anything else," explained Graham gently with a sad frown on his face. "And there aren't a lot of habitats on this island for Pokémon to live in. So the only Pokémon that we have ever seen on this island are Bird Pokémon, Water Pokémon and Plant Pokémon."
"But once in a while a new Pokémon would appear from out of nowhere on the island," added Charlie with a sigh. "Some times the Pokémon that come to our island will happen to be someone's lost pet or a wild Pokémon that had somehow snuck onto the ferry without anyone even knowing about it. When that problem occurs it causes the people in town to start panicking a little bit."
Mimi, who had just finished her bowl of strawberries, came up to Anora and jumped into her lap again, while the young teen stared at her uncle in bewilderment.
"Why would people panic when a new Pokémon comes onto the island?" asked Anora as she gently petted Mimi.
"Well, people here on this island don't have much experience with Pokémon, other than Doc Greene of course." Charlie explained as he leaned his elbows against the edge of the table. "So they don't really know what to expect when a new Pokémon comes to the island."
Anora sadly frowned at what her uncle had said "So...the people of Griffin Rock don't like Pokémon either?"
"Not exactly," answered Charlie gently. "They just have a fear of anything new that's not technology related to the island."
Anora only nodded, but the thought of the people on this island not liking Pokémon still sadden her. Mimi, sensing her friend's sadness, licked the back of Anora's right hand to comfort her. Anora looked down at her Pokémon friend with a sad smile before gently hugging her. The young teen then looked back up at Charlie as she gave him a small smile.
"So...when should we go meet Mr. Greene?" asked Anora.
"I'll give him a call right now to let him know that we're coming over," answered Charlie with a smile. "So we'll go to the lab after you finished your lunch. Also, Doc Greene prefers to be called 'Doc' instead of 'Mister'."
Anora blinked curiously at her uncle "Why does he what to be called 'Doc'?"
"He says that people who call him 'Mister' makes him feel old," replied Charlie with a chuckle.
"Do you mind if I come with you and Anora, Dad?" asked Cody excitedly.
"Sure son," said Charlie with a nod before he looked at Anora, "If that's alright with you, Anora."
"I don't mind," answered Anora with a smile.
"Then it's settled," said Charlie as he stood up from his chair. "I'll go give Doc Greene a call."
To be continued
Okay so I've been thinking that Doc Greene should have a Pokémon partner in this story, and I need your help to decide what Pokémon would be a good partner for him. Here are three of the Pokémon that I think would be an interesting partner for him.
Rotom
Chatot
Magnemite
So I will be leaving a poll up on my profile for all of you to vote on which Pokémon Doc Greene. The Pokémon that has the highest votes is the winner. I will leave the poll up for either one or two weeks.
White Hunter, howling out to you and creativity!
