Yaaay!~ Chapter two; finally uploaded! I actually wrote this the night after I uploaded chapter one, but fanfiction wouldn't let me upload it.

So; Chapter two is heeree! I know, this chapter doesn't have much to do with Alec, but I didn't really want to write it in Rosie's POV, 'cause it'd be unfair.. I'm trying to take it in turnsss. ALSOOOO, there will be much more Joshuaaaaaa in this fic, and it will have more to do with Alec and Eve.. This story isn't all about Rosie.

I hope you enjoy itt, and remember, I do not own any of the pokémon, or Prof. Oak (Even though he isn't in this chapter. xD).


Chapter two: The Preparations.
Alec POV.

I watched as my best friend, and her rival got ready to battle, how on earth was she going to pull this off? Joshua had been training to be the ultimate pokémon training since he could say the word. Rosie, she was clueless, compared to him.
"Okay, Elekid. Let's show these guys how it's meant to be done," He said with a smirk. I frowned.
"Go on, Rosie, we know that you can beat him!" Eve cheered on. Obviously, his words had an effect on her. I chuckled. Typical Eve. Joshua chuckled,

"Elekid, quick at—"
"Hold it right there, young lady!" We all turned, to see who'd cut Joshua mid-sentence, "You are not thinking of battling within your very first hour, were you?" The woman frowned. I couldn't help but chuckle at the way Rosie's mum yelled at her daughter, I noticed Rosie frown, too.
"Well, actually yes, but..."
"No buts, missy. You should know that you need to get to know you're pokémon before you use it. Sweetheart, I know you're excited that you have one, but I think it's important that you spend some time with it, before you get into any serious battles," She informed. Rosie sighed, and nodded,
"You're right," She murmured, just loud enough for myself and her mum to hear.
"Now, before you three set off on your journey, you should have something to eat," Her mum said, we all nodded, "You're welcome to come too, Joshua, if you would like,"
"No!" Rosie snapped, frowning.
"Now, Rosie. Don't be so horrible. I'm sure Joshua is starving,"
"Well then, he can find his own food, can't he?" Rosie argued, turning to Joshua who was still grinning.
"I would love to, Ms. Harper," He smiled politely.
Rosie cringed, and I knew exactly why.

Rosie sulked the whole journey back to her house, which was about a 5 minute walk, but with her complaining, and her arguments with Josh, it felt like a lifetime.
"Remind me why her mum invited Josh again?" I whispered to Eve, who giggled, and shrugged,
"Probably just to be kind, I guess," She answered. I chuckled. Probably.
"What are you talking about? Bulbasaur totally would've kicked Elekid's butt!" We heard the fight between them continue,

"No way! Elekid is much more capable of winning a battle, especially to a beginner," Josh argued.
"Whatever, I bet the only thing you've battled so far is a caterpie, and we all know that they're nothing special. I could beat one of those with an empty can,"
"You're extremely wrong, and even if I had battled a caterpie, at least I would've known to catch it,"
"At least I would've been smart enough to take pokéballs with me,"
We took Rosie's comment as the final one in the argument, as Josh didn't answer. She raised an eyebrow, "What? Did you seriously not bring any?" She asked. I looked back, noticing the way she was about to burst out laughing.
"Of course I did!" Josh snapped. Rosie laughed,
"You liar! You forgot, didn't you? I bet you were so excited to come down to Pallet Town to show off you're pokémon, you forgot to bring pokéballs to catch another one," She chuckled.
"That's not true!" He defended.
"Whatever," Rosie grinned, skipping to catch up with myself and Eve, happy to know that she'd won the argument.

"Pancakes for everyone!" Rosie's mum announced. We all ran to sit at the table, leaving Josh sulking on the couch while he watched television.
"Five for me, please mum," Rosie grinned. Me and Eve stared, five?! That was an awful lot, especially for Rosie. Her mum gave her a stern look, and she frowned, "Fine, I'll have three," She muttered. A smile curled onto her mother's face and she put a plate in front of her daughter, three pancakes stacked up. A plate then fell in front of me, where her mum had just dropped it,
"Sorry love," She smiled, then putting a plate infront of Eve. Josh was the last to get his food, as he was sitting on the couch. "Rosie, while you were out getting your pokémon, I packed your bag for you. It has some cookies, a couple energy drinks for you and your friends..." She paused, and then began a long list of all the things she'd packed for her daughter.
"Geez, mum. How big is this bag going to be?" She rolled her eyes, finishing the pancakes in less than three bites each, pig. She then ran into her room, to get her bag.

A couple minutes later, she walked out with a small, yellow bag. "Right, come on. Guys. You two need to get your stuff, and then we need to get going!" She rushed us. We both sighed. We all had our annoying sides, Rosie just had more than the average person. For one, she cried about the littlest things, she was bossy, and she was stubborn.
"Um, what about Josh?" I asked,
"Josh? He made his way here on his own, he'll be fine," Eve told me. Obviously, she wasn't too keen on him, either.
"Josh, he's already gone, by the looks of things," Rosie's mum pointed out. We looked over at the couch. It was true. Josh had gone, and left his pancakes,
"I call dibs!" Rosie yelled, dropping her bag on the floor and running over to the plate her mum was holding.

We'd finished our pancakes, been nagged by Rosie's mum to keep safe, been to Eve's house, and now it was off to my house. We left mine last because it was closest to the exit out of town.
"Mum, dad, I'm home," I called out, grabbing my bag from the couch.
"Alright, have fun!" Was all I got back from my dad, as he was out in the back garden, training with his machamp. Whereas my mum ran out from the kitchen, and gave me a large hug,
"Oh, goodness sweetie. You're a mess! What have you been doing?" She asked. I looked down at my outfit, nothing was out of place, "Oh well, no matter. Have you got everything? Are you happy with the pokémon you got? Oh, did you get that charmander you wanted so badly?" She asked, I nodded, in answer to all of her questions.
"Yes, mum. I have everything, I got the charmander, I am extremely happy," I smiled.
"Oh, that's great sweetheart. Well, you and you're friends take care of yourselves, okay? Don't get into any trouble, and if you're ever stuck, you know you can come back, and..." She paused, tearing up. "Oh, I'm sorry. It's just, yesterday you were helping your father with his machamp, now look at you, all grown up, going on our own adventure..." She paused again, and pulled me into a hug.
"Mum... You're squashing me," I managed to say. She chuckled, and let me go,
"Oh, my. I'm so sorry dear. Just have fun, okay? And good luck," She smiled, wiping the one or two tears that were streaming down her cheeks. I chuckled,
"Mum, I promise to call you, and tell you everything that happens," I promised. She nodded, and I gave her one last hug.
"Okay, I'll tell you everything that goes on here, too," She promised. I nodded, and threw my bag over my shoulder, waving back as I made my way to the door, opening it and taking one step out with a smile,
"I love you, mum. See you soon," I told her,

"You too," She replied. With one more nod, I shut the door, walking over to my two best friends.
"Well, guys. This is the beginning of an entirely new journey," Rosie giggled, clapping and jumping, dancing around, unable to contain her excitement.
"Yeah, and it's going to be awesome. Just think, you two are going to become great trainers, and I'll become the best pokémon co-ordinator!" Eve grinned, grabbing Rosie's hands as they began to jump up and down, 'happy dancing', as they would call it,
"A new adventure," I murmured, looking at my two hyper, over-excited best friends, "Guys, this is going to be awesome!" I chuckled, almost squealing like a girl.

We were soon on our way out of pallet. I paused, while the girls took a couple steps, "Well, see you soon, Pallet town," I whispered,
"Hey Alec, what are you doing?!" Eve yelled,
"Hurry up, slowcoach!" Rosie chuckled. They were both waving, and I ran to catch up. Rosie put her arms around both of us, "Guys, this is the beginning of a new adventure, and we're all going to achieve our dreams..." She told us, grinning.
