Hexagon 2
Nate, Karen, and Alan all arrived in Viridian city.
Viridian city is small city filled with many houses and small businesses.
"Well here we are, Viridian city" Alan said.
"Wow this must a pretty peaceful place to live huh" Karen said as her eyes scanned over the town.
"Yeah it's usually pretty quiet around, not much happens around here, which makes things sometimes boring around here." Alan explained.
"Well why don't you go and start your journey, you already have a Pokemon why do you stay here?" Nate asked.
"I uh kind of have my reasons" Alan said nervously as his eyes moved away from the two.
"Never mind that let's take a look around the town," he said quick to change the subject.
The three strolled through the town many small shops and vendors lined the streets as they tried to make a sale to any person who wandered by .
"Wow this place sure is lively" Nate said, as he looked around at all the people as they walked, stopped at shops and drank coffee at cafes.
"Yeah it normally really busy around this time." Alan said as he led the two through the cornfield of people.
"Why's that?" Karen asked as she tried her best to keep up.
Alan turned towards with a shocked looked on his face. "You didn't know "
"Know what?" The two said in unison completely confused
"The Pokemon league is about to start, most trainers come here to stock up on items before they head into Victory Road" Alan explained.
The three finally got of the crowed and entered a rural neighborhood.
"Were almost to my house" Alan said as they continued down the sidewalk, they approached a small double story house.
"Were here," Alan said as he looked at his house.
The two looked at the house, the exterior of the house was made of brick with two windows on the first story and two on the second story, a cement path went up towards the house, two small steps led into the front door.
The three entered the front door.
"Ah home sweet home" Alan said as he took a deep breath. "Honey I'm home!" he shouted through the halls.
"Honey?" Nate said in confusion.
"Welcome home." a voice rang from inside the living room ". The three walked into the living room where a young beautiful women was sitting on the couch, she had long blonde hair, and clear brown eyes.
"How was your training?" she asked as they approached her.
"Good, I think Charmander and I got in plenty of practice." he said as his eyes flicked towards the pokeball on his belt.
"That's good, I think we should go out to eat tonight, would you be okay with that?" She asked in a loving way.
"Sure but could I bring a couple of friends along with us." Alan said as he looked back towards Nate and Karen.
Her smile slightly faded " huh which friends?" she said as she looked back at the two her eyes widened and her mouth gaped. "Oh I'm sorry I didn't see you there."
Karen and Nate gave a slight nervous chuckle.
"Hello my name is Yoka it's nice to meet you." Yoka introduced.
"Hello I'm Nate and this Karen." he said as he gestured towards her.
"Hello " Karen added.
"Hey sorry for asking but who she?" Nate feeling slightly uncomfortable saying it."
Alan made face like an idea had just popped into his head. "Oh that's right I forgot to tell you" Alan said as stood beside Yoka. "This is my wife Yoka" he said as he put his arm around her and pulled her close.
Nate's face went into total shock. "YOU WIFE!" Nate shouted his jaw dropped.
"Wow congratulations" Karen said with a delighted look on her face." How did you two meet" she continued wanting to know more.
"It was the- " Alan stopped when he felt Yoka's hand on his shoulder "Honey don't you think we should get going?" she suggested.
"Yeah that's right dinner" he nodded "We'll talk about it at dinner" he said as he looked at Karen.
The four approach the restaurant, it was an old style restaurant old colored browns and tans bricks made the walls, inside the carpet was a dark green blue color and had a diamond pattern to it, the walls had a dull tan wallpaper and had a couple of old style paintings hung up. The tables and booths all had maroon colored seats.
The four approached the hostess; who stood behind a podium she was young her black hair was tied back in a ponytail and she had an apron tied around her waist as every employee did.
Yoka approached the hostess " table for four please"
"Right this way " the hostess said gesturing towards the tables.
As they walked to their table two strangers past by them, they were holding kiddy meal cups "That was delicious WAH." one said.
"I'm glad we decided to eat here WAH," the other said taking a sip from his cup.
The hostess stopped in front of one of the booths " here we are" she said with a slight delight in her.
"Thank you " Yoka said speaking for the rest of them. The four sat down Yoka and Alan on one side and Karen and Nate on the other. They were given their menus and were told the waiter will be with them. They quickly picked what they wanted to eat and then they waited for the waiter.
"So how long you two been married?" Karen as she leaned forward creating a cradle for her chin with her hands.
"Two years " Yoka said slightly boastful.
"Wow right out of high school huh"
"Yep we met junior year, and it was at first sight" she said as she slowly grabbed Alan's hand.
"You should have told me I would have gone to the wedding." Nate said
"Well we really didn't have a big wedding it was just the families." Alan said "but we do still plan to have big ceremony after we get the money."
The waiter arrived he took their orders and went back to the kitchen.
They talked about what they been doing in their lives and what they plan to do. They finished eating and headed back to Alan's house.
It was pretty late so Yoka suggested that they spend the night. They agreed.
The next morning they got up got dressed and headed down stairs where Yoka had already started making breakfast, Karen went over to help Yoka, while Alan and Nate sat at the table and chatted while they waited.
Karen placed pieces of bacon into the frying pan she waited awhile then she took off.
"Those sure are soft do you like them that way?" Yoka asked.
"No but Nate does" Karen said with a delighted smile on her face.
Yoka looked at Karen and gave a suspicious smile on her face.
After they finished breakfast Yoka approached Karen "hey you want to go shopping with me today?" Yoka asked.
"Sure do want me to go tell Nate and Alan?" Karen said pointing in the direction of the two boys who were sitting in the living room watching a Pokemon battle.
"No how about the two of us go shopping." Yoka said
"Alright let me at least go tell Nate where I'm going." she said as walked towards the living room.
"Alright have a good time" Yoka heard Nate and Alan from the other room.
"Thank you" Yoka shouted in response to Alan's call.
She returned, "Alright let's go" and the two headed towards the shopping district.
After the girls had left leaving Alan and Nate alone. Nate turned to Alan "So I was wondering where did you get your Charmander from, there's no lab in this city." Nate said his eyes glancing down at Alan's pokeball.
"Yeah well one day I came home and there was a white box on my doorstep I picked it up and brought inside, I set it down on the counter and opened it and Charmander's pokeball was sitting inside with five other pokeballs and a device, there was a note attached, it said I hope this will help you on your journey.
"Really so are you going to start your journey?" Nate asked in anticipation.
"I don't think so" Alan said
Nate frowned "why not"
"I'm married dude I can't just get up and leave my wife and go on a journey, and even if I could I don't think she would let me." Alan explained.
"Why don't you just ask?" Nate asked.
"Cause I know she will say no, besides I need to get a job to save up money." Alan insisted.
Nate sighed, "Have you forgot what the prize is for winning the Pokemon league." Nate said.
"Yeah a trophy " Alan said
"Aaannndd"
Alan sighed "A place in the hall of fame"
"Aaannndd"
"Begging rights for the whole year."
"Aaannndd"
"What what else is there" Alan said annoyed.
"One million dollars" Nate finalized
"Really?" Alan asked
"Yeah and there's even a cash prize for second and third." Nate added.
"Yeah but do you know how long that would take I need the money now." Alan said as he placed his right finger into his left palm.
"Well you can still get money from the random trainers along the way and you could send back home most of it when you get to the next town." Nate explained.
"Weelllll" Alan pondered.
"Just ask her if she says no I won't bother you anymore alright" Nate said.
"Fine but if she does say no we drop this" Alan gave in.
Meanwhile in the shopping district Karen and Yoka were looking at clothes in a shop.
"What do think of this." Karen said holding up a yellow T-shirt.
"It would look great on you." Yoka said in approval.
Yoka's fingers scanned through a hanger full of dresses, her eyes widen when she saw something, she pulled out a light blue sundress." this would look great on you." she said.
"Nah I don't think so I'm not really a dress girl." Karen said shaking her head.
"Oh come on I'd think it would look great on you." Yoka egged on. "and besides I'm sure Nate would like it too" She smirked.
Red rushed in to Karen's cheeks "Wh-why do you think I would wear it just for him." Karen denied.
"I saw they way you look at him and how you happy to make breakfast for him." Yoka said.
"I-it's nothing were just really good friends." Karen said embarrassed.
"Are you surrrre?" she asked suggestively
"Yes of course I'm sure." she said knowing that was her final answer.
"So what are you two doing in Viridian city anyways?" Yoka asked changing the subject.
"We are just passing through on are way to Pewter city to get the badge so we can start getting into the Pokemon league." Karen explained.
"So you two are leaving soon" Yoka asked.
"Yeah" Karen answered.
Yoka looked down slightly disappointed but then there was a twinkle in her eye as she raised her head up again. " Hey would you mind if Alan came with you?" she asked.
Karen's eyes widened "Why? You two just got married." Karen asked confused.
"I know but I want Alan to have more adventure in his life, before he settles down, he's only 21" Yoka explained "besides I think he wants to"
"Why do you think that?"
"On occasion I see him gazing out towards route 2" Yoka continued "but I think he's afraid to ask me."
Back at Alan's house.
Alan and Nate watched Pokemon match on the TV they rooted for one of the Pokemon they liked. Nate felt weird "where have I seen this before?" Nate said.
"What?" Alan asked
"Nothing" Nate said "So when she comes through that door you are going to ask her right?" Nate said as he turned his attention towards Alan.
"Yes already, geez that fifth time you asked me that I will I promise." Alan reassured him.
An hour later the girls returned home.
"We're home" the two greeted in unison.
"Hey" the two boys said in unison as well.
"Alright here's your chance, go" Nate whispered.
Alan took a deep breath and stood up off the couch.
"Yoka can I talk to you?" Alan said nervously.
"Sure what is it?"
"C-c-can I go with Nate on his Pokemon journey?" Alan said his words quivering.
"Sure why not" Yoka answered cheerfully.
"Really?" Alan said not believing what he just heard.
"Sure go ahead just make sure you come back." Yoka smiled.
"Why are you letting me go on a journey?" Alan said.
"Because your still young, we got plenty of time to settle down. Besides if you do win that a million bucks in our pocket."
"Thank you, I'll come back with a load of money so we can actually have a wedding ceremony." Alan promised.
"Alright I look forward to it."
That day Alan packed up his stuff and gave Yoka a kiss and headed down the road towards route 2 with Nate and Karen with Yoka waving goodbye in front of his house.
As soon they got out of the city Alan pulled out his map "Alright so the next town is Pewter city."
"Yep" the two agreed
"So we have to go through Viridian Forest." Alan said pointing at the forest on the map.
"Yeah but can we a little detour first there's a Pokemon around here that I want to catch." Karen said.
"Yeah come to think of it I also want to catch something." Alan added.
"Alright let's go" Nate shouted as they continued down the road, but little did they know that there was a long snake like Pokemon lurking in the shadows.
