"I choose you, Scyther!" Brad called.
He had caught his brand new pokemon, his starter. Hot damn, was he proud. He reached in his pocket again, and pulled out a potion spray, using it on the Scyther. It instantly perked up.
"Hey, little buddy, can I call you Saber?" Brad asked the young Scyther, who nodded. It seemed cool to the young trainer.
"Hey, kid!" A familiar voice called out.
Brad looked up, and saw the same girl he had seen earlier.
"Who are you, anyway. I didn't get the chance to talk while we were running." Brad said, flashing a grin.
"My name's Erin Fallyena. Are you a new trainer?" Erin asked, curious.
"Yes, why?"
"Consider me your new teacher then."
"Huh? Why?"
"Because you have a Scyther as a starter."
"That doesn't mean you can follow me around!"
"You have an arrogant natured pokemon. They're very difficult for novices like you to handle."
Brad laughed. "I'm not a novice. Besides, what can you teach me that I haven't learned at Tech?"
"I've been on the streets since I was born, and I know more about the world than you do. More than you could ever know sitting in an air conditioned class room. Besides, you're kinda cute for a novice."
Brad blushed, much to his dismay.
"All right, you win." Brad sighed.
'This is going to be a long trip,' Brad thought. They were quiet as they approached Brad's house, until they reached the front gate. Erin leaned on the white picket fence.
"So, where do I sleep?" Erin asked.
"Outside."
"That's not the way to treat a lady."
"What lady?"
"What did you say, twerp?" She threw a punch at Brad. It was too fast for him to see, and the punch hit his shoulder.
"You're fast, Erin." Brad said, but Erin had disappeared, the front gate swinging open.
"Brad! BRAD!" an older female voice called out. It was Brad's mother.
Brad realized this was a good opportunity to talk to his new Scyther.
"Saber, do you actually want to follow me around? She kind of has a point, about me not knowing the world or how raise you. You are a member of a powerful and rare species of pokemon."
(Yeah, but you saved my life. I must adhere to the Scyther life debt. I hope I can live and fulfill my debt to you, master.)
"I release you from your debt. I don't need a pokemon servant. What I would like is for a Pokemon friend." Brad replied, mildly startled.
(I thank you… friend.) the scyther replied.
"Brad, get over here! We have a visitor! She's a cutie, too!" Brad's mother called from the inside.
What a way to meet… what a way to meet.

God my writing skills were horrible…
Changes: A lot like last chapter. I spread it out, and I altered the whole introduction of Erin and Brad. Due to my former lack of any skill, it seemed good to me then, but when I decided to rewrite, it seemed like a noob wrote it, all rude and crap… coughmecough
