Dec. 30th, New Bark Town
Crunch, crunch, crunch, crunch.
I felt the snow give way to my boots; my feet sinking in a couple of inches every time I took a step. The air was brisk since it was, after all, the midst of winter in the Johto region. I turned my face towards the sky. A flock of Spearow flew gracefully overhead. As I gazed at them, I widened my eyes and imeresed my gaze in the beauty of the icy blue sea above my head. It was fresh and alive, as if the bothersome snow clouds masked its true, cool and crisp, blue hue.
It was strange though. The Johto region was not renowned for cold winters. This season, I was surprised to receive a startling amount of snow in my front yard. In fact, tourists from the Sinnoh region came here around this time of year to alleviate themselves from their brutal winter season, only to find more snow covering the streets here than back where they came from.
If it had been any other time of year, I would have been outside searching for a nice spot to kick back and whip out my DS to play some Final Fantasy, but I didn't think my mom would be too pleased if I waltzed back into our house with the back pockets of my jeans soaking wet from sitting on the snow.
"Ethan! Ethan dear! I have some red apricorn soup prepared for lunch!" I pivoted in the snow, almost losing my balance (snow is a pretty grabby after it's been lying in the sun for a half an hour) when I heard my mom shout from the doorway of my house.
"I'll be in in a second ma!" I began to head towards home but before I could even take a step towards the direction of my house, I was completely winded by what felt like a huge sac of rocks.
"OOF!" The collision sent me flying through the air. I landed, the snow pulling me into its sticky slush; it began to soak through my tattered old jeans. "Dangit… now mom has an excuse to drag me all the way to Goldenrod to go shopping….."
"Ethan! Oh Ethan, are you alright? Oh gosh I'm so sorry. It's all my fault! I need to watch Marill more carefully…. MARILL! Bad girl! Don't go running into Ethan unless I say so you hear? Of course, Ethan, I would never tell Marill to do such a thing but-"
"Uuuhhh…. Yeah, yeah, I'm fine Lyra, please slow down though…..." he groaned.
"Jeez… that poor girl doesn't know when to stop talking…" he thought, rubbing his temples.
"Oh gosh Ethan I'm really sorry! I shouldn't talk so much… It's just that I felt really bad about you falling and I thought you were….-"
I
tried my best to suppress the irksome buzzing sound emitting from her mouth as I painfully lifted myself up from the slushy snow. Lyra obviously noticed me picking myself up from the slush, as she ceased her babbling and rushed to my aid.
"Ethan wait! Let me help!"
The grip of her hands supported me as I slowly rose, wavering slightly and still trying to catch my breath after being winded by that blue sac of rocks Lyra calls a pokemon. Thankfully as I brushed of the sticky snow still clinging to my pants, Lyra wisely stayed quiet, for if she couldn't, her high- pitched worrisome voice would have drove me insane.
"Thanks Lyra." I told her as she brushed a fleck of snow off my shoulder.
"Don't worry about it! It's definitely the least I can do after Marril nearly crushed you." She giggled as she knelt down to pick up her pokemon. I stood in awe wondering what workout program she had to follow to have enough strength to pick that thing up.
"I'm really sorry by the way….."she said yet again as she stroked her pokemon.
"Marril, apologize to Ethan."
"No Lyra, that's really alright I under-"I began, but before I could finish, I really got quite an affectionate apology from Marril.
"MARRIIIIILL!" The pokemon leapt from Lyra's arms and into my chest, knocking me, yet again, into the snow below . This time, I had somehow managed to brace myself so the impact was only enough to knock me to the ground. "Maaarriiiiilll…." As her pokemon snuggled into me, I couldn't help from letting out a small laugh. I looked up at Lyra. She giggled and reached down to pick up her pokemon.
"Hehe! Awwww! That's so cute!" Lyra gently grabbed her Marril from me.
"Ya, haha. She is a pretty cute one." I responded I began to pick myself up.
"Oh! Do you need some help Ethan?" Lyra bent down to help me but I shooed her away gently.
"No that's alright. It didn't take away my breath as much as last time. I got it." I reassured her.
"Alright, if your sure….." she stood back up and stood by to make sure I was really alright. When I had managed to pick myself back up again, I heard my mother's voice projecting from my doorway again.
"Ethan dear, hurry up please! Your soup is getting cold!"
"Alright ma! I'm on my way!" I turned to Lyra. "I'll see ya later alright?"
"Ok! I'll see ya tomorrow!" She waved, flashing me a jubilant smile as she set her pokemon down running off toward the ocean shore with Marill following close behind. I watched them run off for a moment and then I stopped to take one last look at the icy blue ocean that stretched over my head before I went to meet my ma at the front door.
"When I die, I would want to die in the winter. Then, I could soar up into its icy blue depths."
Deep in thought, I almost didn't realize my mother nagging above my head.
"Ethan! What in the world happened to your jeans?!" my mom knelt down and examined them, the soaking wet material, the many patched holes…I saw where this was going as she continued to rant about the many faults of my pants,
" …and you know, I was planning on heading to Goldenrod this weekend so maybe you can tag along and help me pick out a new pair of pants for you."
There it was. I knew I couldn't say no, so I just went along with it.
"Ok mom… it….sounds like a plan." I tried to smile at her as nicely as I could; I knew she liked it when I came with her on her shopping errands so I didn't want to upset her.
"Oh you…." She hugged me and laughed. "I know you don't want to come but thank you for thinking of me dear. You're my sweet little baby…"
"Mom…." I said, blushing. My mom laughed and ceased her hugging, proceeding to lead me into the house.
"Ok, ok I won't smother you anymore. I'll go warm up your soup, so you can put your jeans in the dryer."
I kicked off my tennis shoes and hung up my jacket on the coat rack. I then took off my dripping, cold, and wet pants and wrapped them up in my arms. I made my way down the hall to the laundry room and threw my pants into the dryer. I slipped on a pair of old sweats and left the pants to dry.
As I reached the stairs on my way to play my N64 while I waited for my soup to finish heating up, I heard the house phone ring on my way by the coffee table.
"Ethan, would you mind getting that for me? I spilled the soup so I'll be a bit busy." My mom called from the kitchen.
"Sure!" I yelled. The phone continued to ring.
"Honey, do you have the phone?" My mom shouted again.
"Yeah! I got it don't worry." I pulled myself out of my 'zoned out' mode and picked up the receiver. "Hello?" I answered, not recognizing the number on the screen.
"Good morning, Mr. Gold. This is a telephone call inviting you to attend our meeting on January 5th, 2012."
I listened to the booming voice on the other line; I asked my first question.
"Um…. excuse me sir….. who exactly….. are you? And what is this….. meeting you are talking about?" I asked the man, slightly flustered and sorta confused. I mean, it could just be one of those advertising calls right? He's probably not all that important. I spoke again. "Sir, if this is one of those annoying add phone calls my mom is always ranting about, I don't really want to hear it and neither does my mom."
"No no young Mr. Gold it is nothing of the sort." The man responded on the other end calmly, something inflicting in his voice as though he knew I wouldn't hang up the phone just yet…..weird old guy.
"Alright then," I continued, I thought about his earlier proposal; the thought of it being a meeting I was specifically invited to attend made me curious. What was so special about a kid from New Bark town that I was being invited to a meeting in the biggest city in Kanto. "If you wouldn't mind me asking sir, could I please have more information about the meeting you were talking about a minute ago?" I heard a chortle on the other end.
"Ha ha. Very sure of yourself, prodding me for more information when you have no idea…." I heard his voice trail of and I gulped. He must have heard me, for he continued to laugh.
"Don't worry lad. You are alright. Besides, although there are things I can't inform you of at the moment, there are still a few things you need to know." I listened and he continued to speak; his voice converted back to the deep, monotone seriousness it had earlier.
"The meeting is to be held in Safferon City, Kanto on January 5th, 2012 on 4658 west Kabuto avenue building 4, board room office 35 on the 7th floor. Don't worry, I'll give you a chance to write it down. "
As he repeated the address information, I scribbled my chicken scratch all across the paper I had grabbed off the coffee table. I thought he was done and I would have ended the conversation but before I had a chance to do so, he began speaking again. I closed my lips and listened.
"If you attend this meeting, you will meet 12 other children around your age. The children we are calling together all have had a similar experience in the past that lead us to believe that they could benefit our organization's main objective. Pokemon are not aloud. Do not fret young one, you will find that you will be able to work together quite nicely together with the children you meet."
Before I could ask him what he was talking about, he hung up on me. Before the insane beeping sound the phone make when you don't hang up started to buzz in I my ear, I hung it up and went into the kitchen to see if the soup was ready. My mom began to speak again but I didn't really listen to what she was saying all that closely, I just nodded my head and said "uh-huh" the usual motions. As I ate my soup, I thought about the man's words.
"12 other children huh… he said something about us having similar experiences in the past…. I mean, if they are normal kids like me they have probably done a lot of the same stuff I have… but wait! I wonder if they are referring to…..no they can't be talking about that…." I shook my head and continued eating. I would probably go to meet with these people this weekend and take the train to Safferon from Goldenrod…..that is, after I got some new pants.
4 years ago, the notorious Team Rocket that had reigned havoc upon the Kanto region reappeared in the Johto region to reattempt operating their hedious crimes. Around this time, Ethan, a fresh new pokemon trainer from the sandy shores of New Bark town would set out on a quest of epic proportions, going up against some of the strongest gyms in the world that rested nestled in the little towns and cities throughout his region. He had been not only focused on becoming the champion of one of the world's strongest pokemon leages, but also gaining all the gym badges of the Kanto leaders and seeking out the infamous Pokemon trainer Red to challenge his idol to the battle he had always dreamed of. Along the way, sooner than you would expect in this 10 year old boy's journey, he would find himself and his friend Lyra (but mostly himself) caught up in the sick affairs of the awful team rocket. Not only would he be asked to deal with these criminals throughout his travels, but he would also find himself battling what could be considered his "rival", a boy named Silver who had managed to steal one of the pokemon from a professor in Ethan's home town and was now trying to prove to Ethan through battling that pokemon were only good for battling. These numerous encounters would leave the boy barley able to have the will to trek the Kanto region as he had planed but somehow he managed to defeat the reoccurring organization that is probably one of the worst to exist to this day… except…
January 3rd, Goldenrod City
"May, are you coming?"
My cousin Brendon's voice slurred in with the bustling crowds of the train station. I barley heard him as I looked around at all of the people stuffed wall to wall in the large halls of Goldenrod's station.
"Wow…people sure are different here than they are in Hoenn…..such different tastes….culture…. it's so neat!" I turned to walk toward my cousin. I could feel my lips curving up into a large smile. I waved at him. I could see him laugh but I couldn't hear him. Honestly, I didn't really need too. I had been around Brendan most of my life so I could hear his laughter jingle in my head anyways.
"Are you coming or aren't you May? We have to meet Wally here soon and I don't want to have to worry about you being the only one to miss the train." I managed to make my way through the crowd over to him.
"Jeez, took you long enough. May, you know you are so flighty." He rustled my hair and I turned up to look at him.
"Brendan, why do you always gotta treat me like I'm a kid? You know, you're only a year older than me." I said to nag him, as I sraightened my smoothed almond brown hair and pulled on my green bandana to keep him from pulling that move again.
"Hey May, you know I'm just kidding." He laughed when I punched him affectionately in the arm. We stood together waiting for the train to arrive, the train that our friend Wally was riding to reach us here I looked up at Brendan, envious of his tall stature as he scanned the crowded halls of the station. I would've really loved to get a closer look at the light fixtures on the side walls to see how they connected as a network without interfering with the train control panel on the other side where the operating desk was. I could defiantly say I'm a bit of a dork when it comes to mechanics. Brendan looked down at me and with a knowing look in his eyes he laughed and patted me on the head.
"Sorry you couldn't be a bit taller. Would you like me to sit you on my shoulders?" He teased. I punched his arm softly again and he laughed to himself, continuing to scan the station for signs of train arrival while I continued to examine the floor tiles.
"Hey." He nudged me with his elbow and pointed at the electronic schedual board. I stood up on my tip-toes I order to get a better view, but there was no need for that when an animatronic female's voice erupted through the loud speakers.
"Attention, all pedestrians standing near the de-boarding platforms, please clear the area. The 4:15 train arriving from: Mauville City: is deboarding.." I heard a shirll chiming sound come from the train's front car; the doors to the passenger cars made a "ppsshhhh" sound as they opened. I looked up at Brenden. His eyes scanned the many train cars looking for our friend. I wanted to help, but of course, my shortness was not preferable to the situation. So instead, I stayed focused on the one door I could see. I watched the many people flooding out of the doors, not expecting to see the one I was looking for. I continued to watch mothers, children, business men, travelers like us, dump out of the train car, when a familiar sight caught my eye, I head of thick green hair that could only be…
"Branden! There he is! It's Wally!" I elbowed him and he turned toward the nearest train car I had been watching. I could see our friend Wally being shoved around by people looking a little flustered; I could tell he was a little wary not being able to have his trusted Gardevior by his side. "Wally! Wally! Over here!" I saw him turn when I yelled his name.
"May! Hi!" Wally waved frantically as he pushed his way through the crowds of people gathering by the exit to the train to meet their loved ones. I rushed up to meet him with an embrace.
"Hey big bro! Brendan, little sis May!" He said playfully. Wally is only a little taller than me so essentailly, Brendan is big bro and he's…
"Hey little bro!" Brenden laughed. I stood aside and let Brendan come in. I watched them do there really complicated hand thingy that I could never figure out and laugh when they messed up at the end.
"Dude! You always do that at the end! You go forward and THEN side."
"Ahh I see now. Ok!" They finished the hand shake sucsessfully and turned to me.
"So Wally, how was your ride then?" I asked. I knew Wally had trouble with traveling. He traveled best by train and so we took the plane and he rode the many trains and railways it took to get here. Brendan and I had been here for a couple of days enjoying the sights.
"It was alright…..I guess. Except when I first was getting out of Hoenn I passed out when the tracks started to span over the sea." He smiled and we all laughed. Today, the plan was to pick Wally up from the train and all head over to Johto on the 6:30 train. I still don't quite understand why I agreed to make this trip in the first place. All this was just because of one single phone call my cousin got a few days after Christmas. My mind drifted to just a few days ago when we got the news as I sat with my cousin and my friend on a bench waiting for our train to arrive.

December 30, Littleroot Town
The sun was beating down on a girl's tired eyes as she soaked up the morning light on her front porch. Although it was the end of December and the midst of winter for most regions, her home region was mostly known for its frigid air and its icy rain. A break from all the freezing rain and a day to bask in the sun was really what she had needed since the end of autumn. In the midst of her basking, she felt a huge shove on her shoulders, sending her lurching forward in her chair and almost falling to the ground.
"What the heck!?" A head peaked over her, shading her face. Her eyes adjusted to find none other than, her cousin Brenden.
"'Sup May?!"
May face palmed and sighed. "Brenden, the next time you want to chat, can you please not scare the living crap out of me?" ^^'
"But that's pretty much the highlight of my day right there!" He threw back his head and laughed some more. May stood up and began to walk into the house. Behind her, laughter abruptly stopped and her hand was grabbed.
"Wait."
May spun around, slightly taken aback by the sudden seriousness in his eyes.
"Uhh… Yeah?"
Brenden pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket. "Check this out." He handed it over to her.
May unfolded the paper in her hand and muttered it aloud
"Safferon City, Kanto
January 5th, 2012
4658 west Kabuto avenue building 4 board room office 35. 7th floor"
May raised an eyebrow. She looked up at him. "Alright….. what does this have to do with anything?"
Brenden laughed, grabbing the paper from her. "Sheesh. You're in a sour mood today." He folded it up again and put it in his pocket. He turned and looked up at her expectantly.
"Um… What?"
Brenden laughed. "Dude! We've been summoned!"
May's eyebrow's furrowed. "Alright….but you do realized, Kanto is practically on the other side of the earth…?" She paused for a moment. "And you haven't really told me much else so I don't have an opinion if that's what you're looking for…." She sweat-dropped. ^^'
Brenden thought for a moment. "Ok… Well…" he scratched his head. "Ok, just a little bit ago I got this call. There was a man on the other end who had a really deep voice and it was a little creepy. But anyways, he essentially said that we are invited to a meeting with a bunch of other kids like us and they think it will help their organization."
May sat for a moment and pondered over his explanation. " Well….do you WANT to go?"
Brendan sat and pondered over it for a moment himself. "Well...yeah, i guess. I was more less asking if you wanted to come."
May took a look at the sunny skies. Cloudless. She felt like if she tried hard enough, she could soar up and around the world... on another adventure... to... to...
She breathed in the air and let it out, whipping around to face Bredan with a confident smile. She nodded and pumped a fist into the air. "Hell, I feel like another adventure!" She held out her hand to him for another high five. "Lets go to frickin Kanto!"
Bredan smiled slyly and returned her high five. "Heh heh, that didnt take as much convincing as i thought it would..."
May scowled. "Are you saying what i think your saying?"
"Am I?"
May punch him in the arm and crossed her arms, turning a 180 away from him.
"Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed." He laughed and waltzed inside.
"Better get packin'. I already talked to my pa Birch. He bought the tickets an hour ago." He snikered as he closed the door behind him.
"He has got to be the most nonchelaunt guy..." She sighed face palming one more time before following him inside to prepare for their new adventure.
2 years ago in the the green, sunny climate of the Hoenn region, 2 amature eleven year old pokemon trainers set out from the little coastal town of Littleroot to partake in a glorious adventure to become the champion of their region. However unbeknownst to the two aspiring pokemon trainers, two organizations known as Team Magma and Team Aqua who were blinded by their conflicting motives, were planning to drastically distort the geological balance of the pokemon universe to make life easier; this is later proven to have the opposite effect. As the two young trainers make their continue to take on the numerous gym leaders, they combat the schemes of the two evil syndacites of the region. They meet Wally, a frail young lad who has dreams of becoming a professional trainer as well. Only one, May, was able to conquer the elite four and the champion Wallace and foil the plots of what had the ability to become the most destructive organizations in the world...
except...
January 3rd, Goldenrod City
Ethen sat in the check out line with his mother, still whering his tattered warn pans that he had completely soiled just the other day. They were both silent. As soon as his talk with the man had ended, he had asked- no... told his mother that he was going on a trip to the Janto region. His mother was generally pretty overprotective, but she reluctantly let him set out to go to the prestigious meeting, since he had after all, traveled the whole Kanto region in the past. He would know what to expect.
"Ethen dear, are you absolutly sure you are going to be able to do this without me?"
"Yes mom. I went when i was ten years old. Im 14 now and im sure i can get around."
His mom sighed and smiled warily. "I supose if you are confident about this..."
They eventually reached the front of check out and payed for the pants. His mom immidiatly sent him and his new pants to the nearest changing room. He jumped into them, actually relieved at the feeling of the fresh deinum on his legs. He sat in the changing room for a moment, his new pants giving off the aroma of newly bought fabric. As he leaned against the flimsy walls, he thought thoroughly about his decision to travel to Safferon one last time.
"This... well... mom will miss me but since Lyra is coming too, she probably won't worry as much as she would have..." He nodded assuringly.
"Yes. This is something I should do." He muttered to himself.
"Ethan? Ethan dear, are you ok in there?" His mom knocked softly on the changing room door. He blushed in embarassment and face-palmed.
"Yes mom, it's all good."
"Great! now come out and let me see how those pants fit!" He opened the door and heaved an exasperated sigh as she yanked him out and rushed to examine his new jeans.
"Oh... the seem is a little flimsy here and the zipper is in the shape of an oval and..." He tuned her out as he waited for the agonizing moment to subside. Just when he thought he was safe, a group of pretty girls walked past and giggled at the sight of his mom checking for anything "out of place" on his pants. He blushed madly and tugged on her sleeve gently. "Mom... can we please go now?"
She looked up at him in suprise but nodded, smiling warmly.
"Yes honey. You pants are just wonderful!" She looked at him and could tell that he was just anxious to be on his journey.
"Oh honey..." She hugged him. "Are you sure you'd rather walk to the station from here?" He felt kinda bad for leaving his mom behind instead of letting her see him off, but he reeeeeaally didn't want anymore embarassing moments. So, he just smiled and hugged her back reassuringly.
"Yea mom. I'll be ok. I know you have other things you want to do."
She squeezed him one last time and beemed down at him.
"Alright sweet heart. Now you have fun!" She kissed his cheek and turned away to walk out, giving him one last wave.
And the group of girls that had passed earlier all said, "aaaaaaww"
And Ethan turned red to the ears as he bolted out the doors and down the busy streets to Goldenrod Station, glad he didn't have to deal with anymore embarassing situations.
May was awoken by an annoying voice in her ear.
"May. Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay."
She sat up groggily from wherever her head had been before. She rubbed her eyes and threw her arms out to stretch. She was startled when her action resulted in a noise of pain.
"Ow! Jeez May, watch where you're throwing those things!" She turned, confused, to an unhappy Brendan rubbing his nose which she had probably smacked with the back of her hand. She redirected her gaze to Wally sitting next to her who was trying to muffle his laughter with his sleeve. She smiled at him and she held her hand up to him for a high five. He returned it triumphently.
"Hey, is that what I get for waking you up so gentley grateful cousin?" Brendan pouted, still rubbing his nose.
"I wouldn't call whispering uncomfortably in my ear 'gentle'. More like creepy if you ask me..." She laughed.
"Well i tried..."
She leaned over and hugged him from the side. "Don't worry about it Brendan. Thanks for trying." Wally beside them laughed when Brendan's cheeks flushed in embarassment. "Jeez May, in public?"
"Oh look who's ungrateful now!" May slugged him playfully in the shoulder. He rubbed the back of his hair and sweatdropped.
"Sorry..." he apologized
Just then, the loud speakers emmited a female's voice once again.
"Calling all passengers, calling ALL passengers, the train set for departure to Safferon City, Kanto at 6:30 p.m. has arrived at the station. Please prepare all belongings. The train departs in the next 5 minutes."
"Cool-e-o." Brendan hopped up from his seat and began to collect their baggage from under the bench. Wally stood up and offered a hand to May, who graciously took it and pulled herself up.
"Here May, bag." Brendan held out her trusty old travel bag. She pretended to look suprised.
" Whaaaaat? You don't expect a lady such as myself to carry her luggage do you? I thought you were a gentleman like Wally."
Brendan rolled his eyes and tossed the bag to her; she fumbled around to catch it and slung it over her shoulder once she had it under control.
"You really do try to embarass me don't you?" Brendan pouted. Wally laughed with May as they began to board.
"You bet!" She smiled at him, winking. But, before she was able to step on the train, she realized something.
"Crap guys wait" She whisked around and so did they.
"What's wrong May?" Wally asked confused.
"I think I left my map on the bench!"
Brendan grabbed her hand. "May, you don't even need that map! Its Just a map if the Hoenn Region!" He said in attempt to get her on the train without any troubles. May whisked BACK aroun and looked at him with a devilish gleam in her eyes. (for those if you who know russia...) He immiediatly let go of her hand and backed away.
"Y-yes ma'am..." He truned around nervously and then rolle his eyes when he thought she wasn't looking.
"I know you are rolling your eyes Mr..." she trilled. He quickened his pace and followed after Wally into the train.
With her attention now completely focused on her map, she hustled back to the bench to see if it had fell out of her pocket and landed near-by.
The map, even though it served her no purpose in the Johto or Kanto regions, was very dear to her in terms of sentimental value. The map had been the very soul of her journey along with her pokemon. It had guided her at times of loss and had given her hope when she was led astray, even metaphorically.
"Wha?!" She almost tripped over her feat as she barely caught sight of the map beneath her feet, only halfway to the bench.
"Sheesh you... getting me all worked up... no more falling outta my pocket!" ^w^
She bent over to pick up the map.
The next thing she knew, the had landed 3 feet away from where she originally was, and there was a heavier weight above her.
"Uuunngh... ouch..." She rubbed her head.
"Holy crap! I'm really sorry!" A hand helped pushed her back up from behind.
"Are you ok? Sorry I was kinda in a hurry..."
She opened her eyes up and caught a glimpse of the concerned boy who had bombarded her. If it had been someone like Brendan, she would have been fuming with rage. But this boy... he just looked so sincere...
"Y-yes... I'm alright. What about you?" She smiled.
The boy caught her gaze and turned away. She wondered if her had been hurt too.
"Do you need some help?" Her briw furrowed and she placed a hand worriedly on his shoulder.
"H-help? Ahaha! Someone like me would never need help!" He put a hand on his fore-arm as he flexed it and laughed with a very slight nervousness. May continued to gaze at him, amused as much as she was confused.
"If you sat so..." she giggled. He smiled and stood up, lending her his hand.
"Thank you." She took his hand and pulled herself up, smiling back.
"No problem! Can I ask your name?" He asked.
"May." She cocked her head and offered him a smile. "What's yours?"
He scratched the back of his head and blushed slightly. "My name's Ethan. Nice to meet y-"
"Attention all passengers! The train set for departure at 6:30 pm to Safferon city, Kanto, will be departing in 2 minutes. Any passengers who have not boarded should do so immidiatly."
Ethan stopped in mid-sentance and whipped his gaze over to the train, and May did the same.
"Crap!" they said simultaniously. They watched in horror as the last few passengers closest to the train stepped through the doors, which soon after... closed.
A/N: Hi. Was it good? I wouldn't mind some reviews ^w^ i think it was a little long... but thats ok. -w-
Alyoop. Hasta la Pasta.
