Hello Everyone! ^-^. I really hope you do enjoy my stories, sadly I'm in a serious writers block with all my other stories. Sometimes, I have to write a new story to get things going with other stories. ^-^'. I'm debating if Steven will show up or not in this chapter, and if he'll travel with my character or if I'll get someone else to go along as well. I also plan for them to have an encounter with most, if not all the legends. I'm just going through this as I go, as I only get time to write during my 9 month old nap time (can't write when she's awake, she's at the state where nothing in the house is safe x_x') and after she goes to bed or off from work, so bear with me please! :3 Now, let's get to the story!
The sun started to sneak a peek through the blinds, as what rays of light were shining in, it hitting the mirror in the corner, reflecting across the entire room. That did it for me, the sun shinned right into my eyes and woke me up. I rolled over in the bed, staring at the alarm clock that was blinking the time over and over again. "It's really on 7am…I guess that means I can go back to sleep." I rolled back over for a split second…wait a minute. I threw the blankets off, scrambling to get off the bed. "Oh no, I can't believe I tried to over sleep." I yelped, redoing the ribbon into a giant bow that held my hair up into a loose ponytail. Grabbing my bag, I threw open the door, nearly bumping into my father.
He gently grabbed my shoulders, laughing a little, he must've been laughing about how much in a hurry I was. "Whoa there, Evie. What's the big hurry? It's only, what? Seven in the morning."
"Dad, if I want to make it to Rustboro City, I need to be leaving now."
"Ah, yes. Well, are sure you can't stay a little longer?"
"I wish I could dad, but the thing is…I can't wait to get back on my journey. I'm ready to see the whole world, meet new people, make friends, and catch so many kinds of Pokemon. I feel like if I stay…even just for a little while longer, then I'll never go. I'll…"Before I could finish my sentence, dad placed a hand on my head, as he knew what I was going to finish saying.
"You don't have to say anymore, Evie, I truly understand. Well, make sure you get plenty to eat and don't forget to call us every now and then, okay?"
I nodded my head, I could feel a slight tear trying to sneak out from the corner of my eye, but I wiped it away before he could've seen it. "Alright dad, I promise, you just take care of yourself, and make sure you go home to see mom. She's going to get worried about you, so don't let her stress out." I placed a hand on my hip and waved my finger at him with my other hand, puffing my cheeks out at him in anger.
"Alright, Jigglypuff, I'll worry about mom and take care of her, you go on okay. Make sure after you get at least four badges and when you do, come back here, and we'll have a battle, deal?"
My cheeks flatten out as my lips turn up into a smile, he sure knew how to put a smile on my face. I turned for the door, but when I laid my hand on the handle, I turned my head slightly, grinning. "No worries dad, I'll be back when I get my four badges, you can count on it."
"I look forward to it."
I left the building and started my way toward Rustboro City, though of course, I know I had to go through Petalburg Forrest, which I was less than thrilled about, as bug Pokemon were my less favorite Pokemon type. Going through Route 104 wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be, as it seemed to be quiet and peaceful. It gave me plenty of time to think about what I wanted to do, where I wanted to go, and what kind of team I wanted to have.
Walking along the dirt path, I noticed a few people battling it out with one another, but none of them seemed to look my way. I truly wasn't in the mood to battle, as, well…truthfully….I'm still trying to wake up. I wasn't a morning person, not what's so ever, so it didn't bother me that they wanted to try and battle me. Petalburg Forrest was just up ahead, as there was a large set of trees that seemed to go on for miles up ahead. I noticed someone was standing next to the forest, or at least it looked to be someone standing by the entrance. I noticed as soon as I'm at the entrance, it was some guy just standing there, as if he was looking to battle. He noticed me out of the corner of his eye, and a smirk came across his lips as he spoke. "Hey babe, the name is Winston, how would you like to go on a date with me?"
I shot a glare at him, not in the mood to deal with anyone, especially with some idiot. I sighed a little, shaking my head to his question. "I'm going to go with…no. For one, I'm a little too old for you, and two, I'm in no mood to even consider dating someone."
"I totally dig older chicks. I'm a millionaire babe, so come on, I'll show you a great time."
"No, I'm not about to risk going to jail for going on a date with you…"
"Psst, people are afraid of me because of my father, trust me…they won't say a word on their life."
Correction, this guy is n total idiot. I turned to face him, reaching my hand into my bag, knowing there was only way to shut this guy up for good. "Alright, fine, you've annoyed me enough. If I win, you leave me the hell alone, but if you win, I'll go one date with you." I bitterly replied, as I threw my Pokeball into the air. "Let's go, Vulpix."
Vulpix came out and was ready to battle, which Winston just grinned a little as he threw his Pokeball into the air. "I don't plan on losing, Zigzagoon."
Zigzagoon didn't look like a Pokemon who was strong, he actually looked like a Pokemon who was pampered, and he wore a white bowtie around his neck, which was a sign he was a primped up Pokemon. I noticed that the Zigzagoon winked at my Vulpix, who just turned her up in disgust. She was totally like me, we both thought they were idiots and could do such better.
"Zigzagoon, use growl!"
Zigzagoon open its mouth and lets out a loud, piercing bleat that distorts the air, which causes the fox Pokemon to shudder a little.
"Vulpix use tackle!"
"Dodge the attack, and use bite!"
Vulpix ran toward the raccoon-looking Pokemon and hit it, sending it back a little, but without taking damage from it using bite on her front paw. Vulpix jumped back, keeping her front right paw up a little, as Zigzagoon looked warn out from being tackled. One move from each Pokemon is all that is needed for one of the two trainers to win this match.
"You might as well give up, your Vulpix is no shape to beat my Zigzagoon." He snickered, as he raised both of his hands up into air, thinking that he already won this match.
I growled slightly, balling my hands into a fist, I didn't like his attitude what's so ever. I looked down at Vulpix and smiled a little. "What'd you say girl? Think you can give it another good attack?"
"Vulpix!" She nodded her head, she was a tough fox to beat.
"Alright, let's win this."
Winston growled a little, placing his right hand on his hip. "You don't give up do you? I like the fire in you, alright, Zigzagoon, use tackle!"
I waited for the Zigzagoon to run at Vulpix, I knew what would work, but he needed to get close to us for it to work. The moment he was within just a few feet, I stood my ground, with Vulpix mimicking me, as I pointing my finger to the approaching Pokemon. "Alright, Vulpix, use Ember!"
Vulpix opened her mouth and shot bolts of fire at the Zigzagoon, covering them in fire. The moment the attack was finished, the poor Pokemon looked finished and fell onto the ground in defeat. Winston pulled out his Pokemon and called Zigzagoon back, sighing a little.
"Think I could get a date still?"
"Vulpix, that was a good match, get some rest." I returned Vulpix to her Pokeball and glared at the idiot, as if he didn't understand of the terms of the match that we had agreed on just seven minutes prior. I started to head into the forest, shaking my head. "Not a chance in hell."
Walking into the forest was a whole lot different than it was from the outside, it was so dark and creepy looking. I'm grateful that I have a fire pokemon to handle the bug types, but we needed to wait around before we could battle again, plus I wasn't really interested in any bug types on my team. I probably looked stupid for what I was about to do, as I brought my right hand up, looking down at it, trying to think.
"I have a fire type, so I really need a water and grass type….that's three, so what else do I…
Rustle…rustle.
I heard some rustling in the bushes near me that completely caught my attention, but when I looked over, I didn't see anything, so I figured it was a wild Pokemon. I kept on walking and continue to count again, picking up from where I had left off.
"I will need a flying type as well…a psych type would be beneficial as well, but what should the…"
Rustle…rustle.
Again, with the rustling sound I'm hearing, I hadn't been here thirty minutes and I'm getting a very unsettling feeling. I turned my attention to the grass behind me this time, but this time all I saw was some of the grass moving slightly. There was no wind in this forest currently blowing, so it must've been a Pokemon who was startled when I stopped. I shook my head and once again picked up from where I left off.
"Maybe a fairy type? They are strong…oh maybe a duel type, like fairy and steel? I could use a ghost type as well…maybe even a…
Rustle…rustle
"You have got to be kidding me? Whoever is following me, you need to come out here right now and face me." I shouted, looking toward the direction where I heard the rustling come from, which was now behind a tree. This had been going on the past half an hour and it had finally drove me insane. I waited a few minutes for whoever it was to come out, I was about ready to turn around and continue on with what I was doing, but I finally heard the faint sound once
Rustle.
A small plant-like Pokemon that seriously looked like an onion, appeared out from behind the tree, looking up at me with small eyes. It was seriously the cutest Pokemon I've ever seen, well, besides my Vulpix. I kneeled down to the ground, which caused the little Pokemon to vanish behind the tree again. I opened my Pokedex and held it up to it, as it peered from behind the tree, curious to what I was doing.
"Petilil, the Bulb Pokemon. Petilil prefer living in rich, fertile soul where all types of plants grow in abundance."
I placed the Pokedex back into my bag, as I held my other hand out to the Pokemon. "Petilil, huh? So, you are the one who's been following me through the forest, huh?"
"Petilil." She slowly came out from behind the tree, it seemed scared and frightened.
"Don't worry, I won't hurt you. I'm sorry I shouted at you, it's okay…you don't have to be afraid." I watched as Petilil started to creep towards me, but it's what the Pokedex had said that dawned on me, I looked around the forest and all I noticed that there were grass and trees. There was no plants that were growing in abundance at all around here, which could only mean one thing. "This forest isn't your home, is it?"
"Pet." The poor Pokemon shook her head, it was obvious that her eyes was full of sadness and pain. I raised my hand to give her a pat, but she closed her eyes and coward in fear, as if she was afraid being hurt. I gently laid my hand on her head, giving her a warm smile as I spoke. "It's okay, you're going to just be fine now."
It seemed that my gentle voice and warm smile put her at ease, as she started to relax a little. I knew I couldn't spend all my time here with this Pokemon, but deep down in my heart, I know it was my job as a Pokemon trainer to do what was right and take care of her.
"Help!"
The sound of someone yelling sent Petilil running behind the tree again in fear, and sent me jumping to feet, wondering what the hell was going on. I glanced at the scared Pokemon and gave it a gentle smile, nodding my head. "Stay here, Petilil. I'm going to see what's all the yelling about."
Leaving the tiny Pokemon behind, I started to run through the forest, toward the sound of the voice. My curiosity was being driven to a new high, as it was strange for someone to be yelling out for help, but then I remember Professor Birch being chased by that wild Poochyena, so it was probably another person being chased by a Pokemon or had fallen and needed help. I ran across an older gentleman in a white lab coat, holding a bunch of files to his chest, as he ran toward me. He stopped within a few feet of me, it was obvious he was out of breath, as if he has never ran this fast before in his life.
"A-Are…are y-you a t-trainer?" He struggled to get out, as he clutched the files to his chest.
"Yes, I am. Were you the one screaming for help?"
"Y-Yes…I was…being chased."
"Chased? By a Pokemon?"
He shook his head roughly, as he stood up straight pushing his glasses up. "No, by some young looking guy."
This caught my attention real quick, as my original assumption was wrong, thought I was seriously curious to why he was being chased and what that person wanted from him. I folded my arms across my chest, thinking a little. "So…he's actually being chased by someone. I mean, what would they want from him? He looks like a scientist…" I scanned my eyes over him, noticing the files that he had clutched tightly to his chest, and then it dawned on me. "Whatever it is that they want…it must be in those files, but what could it…."
"Yo! Devon Researcher! Hand over those papers!"
The sound of a deep sounding male voice brought me out of my thoughts as I noticed a guy wearing black bandana, and black and white strips on his shirt, gray shorts with what looked to be black and white strips pants under his shorts. He ran up toward us, which caused the scientist to jump behind me, frightened, as if this was the very person who had been chasing him.
"Please help me!"
"Huh?" The strange man looked me over, as if he was completely dumbfounded. It seemed today was my day to deal with all the idiots, which he started to yell at me, even though it was completely unnecessary to yell at all. "What do you think you're doing? What, you're going to protect him?"
I stood my ground, digging my boots into the soft dirt. I had one arm out to protect the older gentleman behind me, and my other arm in my bag. "What the hell do you think you're doing? Why are you chasing this gentleman around like you own the place and trying to steal his files?"
"I don't answer to you, so get out of my way, now." He completely ignored my question, which just pissed me off even more. I continued to stand my ground, I was about to be pushed around by some punk who thinks he can go around stealing stuff. I just shook my head, digging my boots into the dirt even more.
"Not a chance in hell, you'll have to get through me to get to him."
The grunt looking dude pulled out his Pokeball, curling up into his fist. "No one who crosses Team Aqua gets any mercy, not even a woman!" He threw his Pokeball and out came a Poochyena. That was one hell of a mean looking Poochyena, even more than the one I faced yesterday that had chased Professor Birch. With my hand already in my bag, I went to grab Vulpix's Pokeball, and then it finally dawned on me as my face paled a little.
"Vulpix isn't fully healed from her battle earlier with Zigzagoon. If I brought her out now, I would just be putting her in danger, but I don't have any other Pokemon. Damnit, I'm not going to risk her health right now."
He must've saw my expression and knew what I was thinking, as he started to laugh. "Looks like the only Pokemon you have isn't fully healed and you aren't going to risk your Pokemon. You're just a weakling."
I gritted my teeth in anger, shaking my head. "You're wrong! My Pokemon is my friend and I refuse to bring her out and put her in harm's way for my sake. You'll just have to get through me if you want those damn files so bad."
"Fine, Poochyena, use bite!" He ordered, as the Poochyena started to run at me with hatred in his eyes, his mouth wide open and ready to bite at my leg. I braced myself for the attack, I could feel my adrenaline running through my veins, my heart pounding in my chest, my body ready to jolt, but I made my body stay in place, not wanting to let the Researcher get hurt. Even through everything going on, I heard a slight rustling sound come from the bush nearby which caught my attention slightly.
Rustle…rustle.
Out of the corner of my eye I see a tiny green blur come out of the bushes and two red beams fires two red beams, which were very bright and blinded me, at the Poochyena, which caused the pup to slow down and stagger a little. It took a few seconds to get my vision back, which I noticed the Poochyena was weakened and the wild Petilil standing guard between him and me. Then it finally dawned on me.
"Petilil…you protected me?"
"Pet, Petilil!" She said, as the pup like pokemon started to growl at her for getting in its way.
"What the hell? Where did that Pokemon come from? No, matter, Poochyena, use quick attack!"
That Poochyena was quick, real quick. It hit the poor Petilil with full force, causing the Bulb Pokemon to hit the ground. I ran up toward to Petilil, kneeling on the ground next to her, I was worried that she was injured pretty badly. "Petilil, are you okay? You're not badly injured, are you?"
It was obvious she was injured a bit, but she got right back and stood her ground again. That scared and frightened look that was in her eyes before when I had first met was completely gone, she had a different look now…she looked as if she was mad that someone tried to harm me. At least, that's what I gathered.
"Good job, now use bite on more time on that little onion!"
Petilil held out her tiny little arms and fired two red beams at Poochyena, which caused him to glow red, draining the remaining energy from him. He fell over in defeat as the angry weird looking clothes dude returned him to his Pokeball, growling.
"You've got some nerve meddling with Team Aqua!"
"Hey now! You are the one who was chasing this poor gentleman and causing trouble." I guess he didn't expect me to shout at him, because he jumped back and started to shake a little.
"Well…we got stuff planning in Rustboro City anyway, so I'll let you go today!" He then ran off with his tail between his legs. I turned my attention to the Researcher behind me, who seemed relieved that the guy who was after him was finally gone. I finally asked the one question I've been meaning to ask.
"Who in the hell was that guy? Who's Team Aqua, anyway?"
"They are a group of bad people…them and Team Magma…wait…did he say Rustboro City?!" He asked, he had look a little freaked out more than when he was being chased. I nodded my head, as he started to take off and run toward exit of the forest that was up a head. He seemed in a bit of a hurry, but didn't say what the hell could be going on. I noticed that Petilil was still standing next to me, looking in the same direction as I was, apparently she had the same idea about him as me.
I bent down next to Petilil, as I was still curious about one thing when it came to her. "Say, Petilil…did you come all this way to protect me from that trainer and his pokemon?"
"Petilil!" She nodded her head.
I could help but smile, but sadly I knew I had to keep moving forward in my journey. That's when I got an idea. I reached into my bag and pulled out a Pokeball, looking at her. "I know you don't belong here and I feel wrong for leaving you here after you risked your life to protect me. So…" I enlarged the Pokeball and held out toward her. "How would you like to travel with me and make new friends?"
"Petilil! Petilil!" She knew what I was asking, she took her tiny hand and touched the Pokeball, as it quickly went inside of the Pokeball. I was extremely happy to know that she wanted to come along, as I placed her securely back into my bag, next to Vulpix.
"Now, let's get you two to the Pokemon Center." I said, heading off toward the exit of the forest and back on Route 104. There was just one thing that was bothering me.
Who and what do Team Aqua want with whatever that researcher had on him?
Rustboro City was the fourth largest city in the Hoenn Region, with its large buildings, tall sky rises, tons of businesses, ranging from all kinds of food to eat to all kinds of shopping. It was obvious that the sun was getting close to setting, which means that the streets will soon be full of people getting off work, either trying to get home, stop by the store and do some shopping, or meet up with friends. It was truly a city full of life, at least it will be once everyone leaves for the day.
I was staring at a map in the center of the city, my finger tracing from the "You are here" marker to where the Pokemon Center was. I tapped on the glass where the marker for the Center was, thinking about what's the easiest and quickest way to get there. Biting the lower part of my lip, I traced the map once again, trying to forge it to memory. "So, if I go east from here, I will make a right turn on the third street next to the Poke Clothing store, take the second left next to the Battle Restaurant, and the first left down the alley between Marci's Clothing store and Winston's Jewelry shop, and I will come out just two buildings to my right. I think I can remember that…I hope."
I started to head east, toward the Poke Clothing store, which I remember to turned right. I passed a few shops that caught my attention, which I jotted down the name of those stores, as I wanted to get the girls to the Pokemon Center and healed before I did any shopping.
"I'll have to stop back here to pick up that outfit I saw later, hopefully they will have my size." I grinned, I was a big sucker for clothes, what more do you expect from a twenty year old woman?
I noticed the Battle Restaurant up head, and remembered to take a left, but that's where my memory of the directions just stopped. I stood there, in confusion as I looked around the place, which with everyone getting off work wasn't helping me at all. The first thing I did, was look around for the big map guide that was sitting in the square when I had first arrived.
"Just my luck, they don't have a map guide over here…what kind of city doesn't have a map guide in at least every street? Whoever the hell designed this place seriously needs a talking too." I puffed my cheeks out as I chewed on the thought of ripping the city planner a new one.
Sighing in defeat, I decided to do the next best thing. Ask people around here and hope they give me directions or at least point me in the right direction. I walked up to the first person I saw, it was a teenage girl who was standing on the corner with her Skitty.
"Excuse me, could you tell me where the Pokemon Center is located?"
The moment I walked up to her and asked my ever so innocent question, I realized she was yelling on the phone.
"What do you mean you lost my keys?! How the hell do…ugh. Hold on." She pulled her phone down, holding her hand over the speaker, glaring and snapping at me like I had tried to steal her Pokemon. "What? Can't you see that I'm on the phone?"
"Woah. I was just asking if you could tell me where the Pokemon Center is."
"It's like, over in that direction or whatever." She barely even pointed to the direction behind me, as she went back to her little phone conversation. "Now, you better go and find my damn keys."
I took a step back and rolled my eyes at the very rude and hateful teenager. "Well then. Mother Nature must've paid her a visit this morning, so hateful." I knew that the direction that she had pointed in had a fifty-fifty on being right or not, which I rather not try and chance it. I decided to try someone else, hopefully they will be able to point me in the right direction or I'll come across another map guide, which would be even more helpful then asking someone.
I noticed a business man standing outside of what looked to be a hotel, so I figured he would be able to help me more than that bitchy teenager back there, who obviously was having a bad day, well the person she was yelling at on the phone was having an even worse day. As soon as I got close to him, he noticed me pretty quickly and greeted me with such a smile on his face, which put me at ease a little.
"Excuse me, do you think you could give me directions to the Pokemon Center?"
The smile on his face slowly started to fade, he started to laugh a little nervously while rubbing the back of his head. "Oh, I'm terribly sorry, I'm just in town for the week, and I'm not entirely sure where everything is."
I waved my hands in front of me, laughing a little with him. "Oh no, it's alright, I'm the one who should be sorry for assuming that you would know. I'm sorry to have bothered you, sir. You have a good rest of the evening." I started to turn to leave to find someone else who could probably help me, but the man stopped me when he started to speak again.
"Excuse me miss, I don't mean to make assumptions, but you don't happen to be a working girl, would you?"
I raised an eyebrow at the middle-age business man, trying to find the words to respond. What in the living hell was he asking her. I slowly shook my head, trying to find the right words out of my scrambled mind. "Uhm…what do you exactly mean, by a…uhm…"working girl"?"
He stood there for a second, just staring at me. He must've been thinking about what he was going to say next to me, but he seemed to be having a hard time trying to get it out without sounding like he was going to offend me. "You know…a call girl."
My eyes just widen when the words "call girl" came out of his mouth. I raised a finger into the air, my mouth hung slightly open. "He…he…he thought I was a call girl?! What in the living hell was this dude thinking?!" I lowered my finger, and just stepped away from the man, as he just stared at me. I mean, I had no idea what to do or even say to the man.
"Uh, excuse me…I better get going."
I turned around and high tailed it out of there, running through the crowds of people. I didn't know where I was going, I just knew I needed to get far away from there. Of course, I didn't pay attention to where I was going and ended up outside some huge corporation. I was completely out of breath, my hands landing on my knees, and I was mad at myself because I couldn't seem to remember a good way to get to the Pokemon Center. Before I thought all hope was lost, I heard a familiar voice call out from behind me.
"Excuse me, aren't you the same young lady that helped me today in the forest?"
I took a deep breath and turned around, seeing the researcher who I had protected earlier from that terrible man earlier. My eyes started to light up in hope as I nodded my head. "Yes, I'm glad to see that you are safe."
He sighed in relief, I guess he was worried about mixing someone else up for me, but then he panicked a little. I feel like this guy must live on anti-anxiety medicines to get through everyday life. "Oh, no! I left you behind in the forest, if I had known that you were heading this way, I would've had you come with me. I was in such a hurry, I guess it slipped my mind to ask, I didn't even get your name."
"Calm down, it's alright, you had a long day. My name is Evie, and since I have you here, do you think you could help me something?"
"It's nice to meet you, Evie. My name is Professor Lester, and I'd be happy to help you with anything, just name it."
I pulled out Vulpix's and Petilil's Pokeball as I started to ask him for the directions I've been looking for. "I was on my way to the Pokemon Center to heal my Pokemon, but I had forgotten the directions I had memorized, due to getting a little distracted from all the shops, I had gotten lost. I had asked a couple of people, but one girl was too busy yelling at someone and one man…well anyway I ended up running and ended up here." I returned my two Poke Balls to my bag, hoping that he may be able to help me.
"I'm terribly sorry you had some bad experiences with the people here, and this city can get really confusing, when I had first move here, I got lost myself for the first two months. Anyway, it would be my pleasure to show you where the Pokemon Center is, it's actually just around the block actually."
I soon startled Professor Lester with my high pitch squeal as I clapped my hands together in excitement. I noticed my sudden excitement had seemed to cause his anxiety to stir up a little, which I calmed down and bowed my head in respect. "Sorry, I just got excited that's all. If you could show me the way that would be wonderful."
He nodded his head, as he started to lead the way toward the Pokemon Center. I was finally happy knowing that someone was actually going to help me, and not either give me terrible directions or creep me out. I watched as the moon started to rise slowly into the sky, a group of Zubats fly high into the air up, as if they were trying to fly to the moon. "The Zubat…they look so peaceful…so free…free to roam and fly as they please." I thought as a small smile creeped across my face. It was apparent to the Professor that I was in dreamland, as stammered a little when he started to speak up from in front of me. "U-Uh, we…we have arrived here now…"
I shook, trying to wake myself from day dreaming, as I gazed up at the Pokemon Center with big bright eyes. I jumped into the air cheering once more, as Professor Lester jumped in fright, as he started to shake a little. The moment I noticed him starting to have another anxiety attack, I stopped what I was doing, laughing slightly. "Sorry, I got excited…actually, I get excited rather easily."
"So I've noticed…"He coughed a little, as he pointed an index finger toward the Pokemon Center, speaking up again. "The Pokemon Center has rooms upstairs that you can stay in while your Pokemon heal. If you plan on challenging the Rustboro City Gym Leader, Roxanne, her gym is just several blocks north of here."
"Roxanne, huh?"
Professor Lester nodded his head slightly, looking down at the young lady. "Yes, well, do get you and your Pokemon some rest. Have a good evening." He stated, as he started off back to the other direction that they had just came from. I sighed a little, shaking my head at the older man. He was a very strange man, but to be a Scientist, I guess you have to be strange person to do something like that.
I walked into the Pokemon Center, only to be greeted by a very bubbly and cheerful pink hair nurse at the front desk. I mean, I'm naturally a very bubbly happy person myself, but this lady seemed to take it over the top just a little. "Welcome to the Pokemon Center, my name is Nurse Joy, how may I help you this evening?"
"Her voice is just as bubbly as her personality…wonder if she freaks that Professor out about as much as I do." I thought as I strolled up to her desk, removing the two Poke Balls from my bag.
"Hi, my name is Evie and my Vulpix and Petilil need to be healed, and I was told there was a room upstairs that I could stay while I wait on them." I explained, as I removed the two Pokeballs from my bag. I frowned a tad bit, I was seriously worried about those two.
"Of course! We are very happy to help you and heal your Pokemon, here, let Chansey take your Pokeballs and work on getting your Pokemon healed, and I'll be more than happy to show you upstairs to one of the rooms that you be in." Nurse Joy explained, as a Chansey came out from the back with a Pokeball tray in her hand. I laid them on the tray and winced a little, as Chansey walked off toward the back with them, it bothered me not to be able near them, but I knew they were in good hands.
"I understand, it's hard leaving your friends the first time, but don't worry…they are very good hands." Nurse Joy explained, as she showed me the way upstairs. I knew she was right, it was hard leaving the two of them behind, but they needed the rest. Nodding my head in agreement, I couldn't help but just smile a little. "Yeah, it is a little hard, but I know Vulpix and Petilil are in good hands here."
We arrived up to a small room that had a bed, table and chair, which was really all I needed. My plan was to crash and fall asleep as soon as I could. I placed my bag down onto the desk, as Nurse Joy laid some blankets on the bed. "So, Evie, are you from around here?"
I pulled the ribbon out of my hair, as I answered her question. "My family and I just moved to Littleroot Town a few days ago, we are actually from Seafoam Island."
"Oh, that sounds exciting! My Mother's Cousin's Aunt's Niece's Daughter's Sister's Daughter is the Nurse at the Pokemon Center in Seafoam Island, and she tells me all the time that she loves it out there. She talks about how the ocean is so clear and the sand is so white that it's almost like snow, which she doesn't miss at all. She also enjoys the warm temperature, it sounds like a vacation every day there. "
The more she talks about Seafoam Island, the more I…wait. What the hell did she say? Her Mother's what? I just looked up at her, blinking slowly. I was trying to remember the order she had said that in. "Mother's Cousin's Niece's Sister's….no, I think it was Mother's Aunt's Daughter's Niece's….or maybe it was Sister's Daughter's Aunt's Mother's…" Shaking my head I couldn't get what she had just told me not even a minute ago right, I just replied with a soft smile. "Yeah, it's truly beautiful out there, your Mother's….Sister's…eh, your relative is lucky to be out there. I'm starting to miss it, but I'm enjoying my journey so far out here."
"Well, I'm glad, now get some sleep and by the time you wake up in the morning you're Pokemon will be fully healed." Nurse Joy explained as she quietly shut the door behind her. I changed out of my clothes and fell onto the bed, slowly closing my eyes. My mind slowly started to drift toward one thought.
"I wonder if I'll ever see him again…"
