Twice the Speed of Life
Chapter 2
Here is the next chapter! Sorry for the wait. :) Hope you enjoyyyy.
o.0.o Leaf's POV o.0.o
"It's your fault!"
"My fault?! You're the one who ran in a frenzy searching for a Pikachu!"
"Maybe if you aren't such a stuck up jerk, we'd be in a better position!"
"What does my personality have to do with anything?!" Gary yelled in frustration, on the verge of tearing his hair out. I let out a long sigh.
Long story short, I, along with Fire and Gary, where stuck in Viridian forest, and none of our pokégears getting a signal. So we couldn't call for help. The map app was useless, for when we looked at Viridian forest, it was just a route in a strait line. I'll have to remember to get a more detailed map when I get into Pewter City...
Anyways, Gary and Fire have been shooting insults to each other, insisting the other was to blame. And now I was getting bored with trying to separate them. Sighing again, I got up, and decided to take a walk.
The silence is more peaceful as I get farther and farther away from Fire and Gary's bickering. I let out a whoosh of breath, and stretch as a few Pidgey fly lazily over my head. And that's when I notice the sun setting.
"Crap," I say, biting my lip, and looking around nervously. "Now which direction did I come from...?" There is no path to be seen, and the sky is already turning golden. I forge ahead, and push past some shrubs. That's when it hits. A heartbeat ricochets throughout my whole body, and I clutch my chest, as my head starts to pound.
Not now! I think worryingly. I can't be having an anemic attack now! My vision blurs, and I tip over, collapsing into the dirt.
o.0.o Blue's POV o.0.o
The moon is still mostly full, but its brightest night is behind me. I smirk, and leap into another tree before adjusting my new mask. It looks like something from a super hero movie, but I am no hero. I purse my lips together. If only that /boy/ hadn't knocked my previous mask off...I wouldn't be wearing this goofy masquerade one!
I tighten my ponytail, and drop down into an ally. Pewter is quiet tonight. Just how I like it. Heading down the street, I see only a few sleepy looking people wandering about, and two boys with worried expressions on their faces. Wait, WHAT!?
I dash behind a trash can and peak around the corner.
Of all the people! I crouch down lower. Why did it have to be him!?
"Do you think she made it here?" the black haired boy says. The spikey brown haired one shakes his head.
"I have a feeling she's still lost in the forest somewhere. We should probably get Officer Jenny to form a search party."
I freeze. I'm a renowned thief...I shouldn't be hiding from some boy. Standing up, I head straight in their direction. He doesn't see me at first, but when I pass by him, he turns.
"YOU!" he says loudly.
I look over my shoulder.
"Yes?" His eyes are dark and penetrating, and very open in his feelings.
"You're the one who stole from my grandpa's lab," he says. "Give me back the pokemon you took." I smirk.
"As if I'd do that," I say. "Why would I go to the trouble of taking something I desire and then just give it back?" He squints his eyes and in a flash, reaches out to snag me, but I lean to the side, and grab his wrist.
"Not happening this time," I say confidently. "I've already taken what I desire tonight. It's already missing, and no one will find it." I jump onto one of the trees, and swing expertly onto a rooftop. I turn, and look at the dark-haired teen.
Let's mess with them for a bit.
"Oh, and by the way," my smirk grew. "I ran into your friend." I reached into my pocket, and pulled out a pokédex.
Both their eyes widened.
"Where did you get that?" the red-eyed kid demanded.
"From your friend. I said that already, no? But now, I have two, which is utterly useless, unless I want to fill up two pokédexs." I throw it at him, and the dark haired kid caught it.
"So, return it to her, register your own name into it, I could care less." I twirl a pokéball on my finger, and toss it into the air, releasing my Charmander. "Smokescreen!" as the smoke engulfed the area, I scooped up my pokémon, and leapt onto the next rooftop.
"Stop!" the lab kid shouted. "Where's Leaf?!" I look over my shoulder, and watch as he is blinded and choking on the smoke, waving his arm to clear it away. "Wait!"
"Blue waits for no one," I say, and disappear into the night.
o.0.o.0.o
(Gary P.O.V)
"She got away." I growled as the smoke cleared. Fire stared dumbstruck at the pokédex in his hand. I snatched it way from him.
"Hey, give that back!" he exclaimed. "That's Leafs!" I ignored him as I flipped it open, and glanced at the information entered into it. I smirked.
"She gave us the wrong one."
"What?" Fire asked as he looked over my shoulder.
"Look. Name: Blue. Status: Trainer." I glanced through the rest of it. "She's the same age as us."
"Look at her profile picture." Fire pointed to the picture in the corner, and I looked at the girl with long brown hair, some sort of black shirt, and a black masquerade mask with silver accents. Her blue-green eyes, more blue than green, shone through the eye holes.
"She's smart." I said as I took a picture of the information with my pokégear. "Won't even remove her mask for her profile picture."
"So, does that mean she still has Leaf's pokédex? If she does, then where's Leaf?" Fire asked, worry for his cousin evident. I shook my head as I checked the time. 4:00.
"The sun will rise at 5:30 or so." I said, trying to keep my voice steady. "She went missing around 6:30 in the evening, and the law says that a person has to gone for at least twelve hours in order to file a missing persons report."
"So that means..." Fire counted on his fingers, and I nearly smacked him. How could he not do this simple math? "That we can report at 6:30 in the morning, right?"
"Yes." I said slowly. "I want you to wait in the police station. I'm going back into the forest to find a trace of her."
"Why do you get to search for my cousin?!" demanded Fire, anger boiling.
"Do you have the knowledge to get through the forest? Do you even /remember/ where we lost her?" I asked, crossing my arms and raising an eyebrow. Fire opened his mouth to protest, but a thought about it. He crossed his arms, and grumbled something about guys with a huge ego always being right. I smirked.
"Fine!" he said as he threw his hands into the air. "You're right."
"Thank you for admitting to my greatness." I smirked. Fires eyes flashed angrily.
"Admitting to your greatness? Please. I'd much rather smack that stupid smirk off your face." he grumbled. My smirk grew.
"I'd like to see you try."
