Chapter Two

Viridian and Beyond

Melody's P.O.V.

I wake up in the morning in a sleeping bag and tent thinking, "It wasn't a dream." I sit up and stretch out my arms then look down at Vulpix who was beginning to stir. Yesterday both Ty and I decided to let our starters stay outside of their pokeballs if they so choose which they agreed to happily. At the thought of Ty III remember what happened last night, not my very sexual dream, but him catching a shiny gastly. When I inhale I smell pancakes and eggs and eagerly start getting dressed, once I get dressed and do my hair I step out of my tent and see the breakfast picnic display in front of me. Ty had just finished making the last pancake and was setting our spots while our pokemon were all devouring on pokemon food. The meal waiting for me was scrambled eggs, pancakes, syrup, and bacon. Once it sinks in I run up to Ty and hug him.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!" I say to him.

"Melody…air," Ty says as I wasn't allowing him to breath I was holding him so tightly.

"Oh, sorry. I'm just so thankful that you made a wonderful breakfast."

"It's okay. So lets eat, I'm hungry." He says.

We then proceed to stuff our faces until we couldn't eat any more and then ate more after that. When we were finally done with the feast of a breakfast I hugged him yet again attempting to crush his lungs and just barely kept myself from kissing him.

"So now that were done gorging ourselves we should get back on the road," says Ty as he takes apart his tent.

After we finished taking apart camp Ty checked Gastly's moveset he was level seven and knows the moves hypnosis and lick. Once we were done with that we headed off again towards Viridian City. As we headed there we ran into a couple trainers who wanted to battle us but Gastly, Riolu, and Vulpix just obliterated any foe that dare challenge them. About ten minutes south of Viridian we decided to take a training break, while we were training I heard something moving in the bushes.

"Hey Ty! Did you hear something moving in the bushes over there?" I inquire.

"Yeah I did one sec," He says as he digs through his bag. Finally he pulls out a berry and puts it in the ground in front of the bush. All of the sudden a pokemon bursts out of the bushes and starts eating the berry. I immediately pull out my pokedex and scan it.

"Furret, the long body pokemon, it makes nests to suit its long skinny body. It is impossible for other pokemon to enter. This furret currently knows the moves scratch, quick attack, foresight, and defense curl "

"Ty! I want to catch it! Can I!" I ask him.

"If you want to catch it you can."

"Okay Vulpix, your up!"

"Lets start this off with tail whip!"

"Here let me help, Gastly use mean look!" Ty says, god he is so hot… battle right.

As vulpix uses tail whip the furret curls up into a ball canceling out the tail whip by using defense curl.

"Okay now use ember!"

I watch as the furret gets hit with the ember attack causing decant damage, but before I can issue a new order the furret uses quick attack landing a hit on vulpix.

"Quick now use ember again!"

With that the furret becomes very low in way of HP and I'm quick to react, "Go pokeball!" I yell as I through the pokeball at the furret. It rocks three times before making a *Ping* indicating that I caught it.

"Alright! I caught a furret!" I exclaim happily

I then turn around and without thinking kiss Ty on the cheek making him blush as red as Vulpix.

"Wha-what was th-th-that f-f-for?" he stammers.

By this time I too am blushing a fiery red, "It was for all the help you've been giving me," I explain

"All I did was ensure that the furret wouldn't run away," he says confusedly.

"Not just that, also for helping me train vulpix, for vulpix, and also for breakfast," I elucidate.

Upon our arrival at Viridian City we meet Kris and Mary at the pokemon center.

"Hi Kris and Mary! How have you two been?" We ask in unison.

"Oh we've been more than fine, you?" he asks as he swoops down to kiss Mary.

This makes us both start laughing because Mary being my best friend, and Kris being Ty's we were both talking about how they probable ended up screwing each other last night, or were planning to tonight. Once we finish laughing we finally respond.

"Well it's about time!" we say together.

"What is," they ask obliviously.

"That you two got together!" I say blindly.

"Yeah no kidding, and we've been good, you won't believe what pokemon I caught already Kris!" Ty says happily.

"Come on we'll talk in the cafeteria in the pokemon center," Kris says.

Once we enter the pokemon center Ty and I give Nurse Joy our pokemon to be healed then go to sit down in the cafeteria for lunch. As soon as we finish eating I start firing.

"So when did you two get together?" I ask them earnestly.

"When will you two get together," Mary snaps making us blush before answering my question.

"Oh well we got together this morning because it was way too awkward so I told her how I felt."

"Yeah I was so relieved after he told me we ended up making out for like five minutes… not that I was counting,' Mary adds making them blush and us laugh even more.

"So Kris and I are going for the pokemon league but what are you two doing?" Mary asks us.

"Well I'm also going for the pokemon league and Melody is going to be a contest trainer," Ty answers for me.

"So Kris, what do you say to a battle at Pewter City after we get our respective badges. Though it's going to be tough for you," Ty says.

"Sounds good, I can't wait to see your new pokemon, well Mary and I are off, see you at Pewter," he says.

As they walk of we say in unison, "Don't get too frisky!" to which Kris responds by flipping us off making us fall down in laughter.

Once we finally stop laughing we decide to get on the road again because Ty is eager to get his first gym badge. As we travel through Route Two I keep thinking of what Kris and Mary said "When will you together!"

"Could Ty like me? No it can't be… but it seems like Kris knows something… I'll ask him in Pewter," I tell myself deep in thought.

"Earth to Melody, come in Melody," I realize Ty saying while waving his hand in front of my face.

"Oh, sorry just thinking, what did you want?" I ask.

"Just wondering if there was anything you wanted to do in Pewter."

"Nothing really, just stock up on food and supplies and get some more clothes," I reply.

Yet again due to our late start we didn't make it all the way to Pewter and decided to call it a day early so Ty could train and rest before his gym battle. Before we went to bed we checked on our pokemon in the pokedex. Vulpix is now level eighteen and knows ember, baby-doll eyes, quick attack, fire spin, and payback. Furret is now level seventeen and knows fury swipes, scratch, defense curl, quick attack, and foresight. Ty's riolu is now level twenty, very impressive, and knows endure, foresight, quick attack, counter, feint, force palm, and copycat. Finally gastly is level seventeen and knows the moves hypnosis, lick, mean look, curse, and nightshade.
