"I can't believe I left my bag at home…" I said to Lucky, who was walking beside with her arms crossed disapprovingly at me.

"Sneasel!" she hissed at me in anger. She could have probably cut my eyes out with her claws, but didn't, and I was very grateful for that.

"No food, no potions, and no way to check where I am… My map was in there. Half an hour on my own and I'm already tired, lost and hungry…."

"Sneas-sneas!"

"I said I'm sorry!" I started to ignore her. I was too hungry to argue with her at this moment, I had a few comebacks to shut her icy mouth shut later though. We kept making our way through the trees and shrubbery, hungry and angry. It seemed futile, walking all this time, until I saw it. A sign. "Welcome to Jubilife City!" I smiled widely and pointed to the sign. "Lucky! We're here! From Sandgem Town to Jubilife City in a matter of forty-five minutes. Which isn't that much of an accomplishment, but it made me happy. (Jubilife is fairly close to Sandgem Town.) I started moving with a hop in my step, knowing that there was a place to rest coming up pretty soon.

"Luxio, use Spark!" I spun my head around quickly. To my surprise, I saw two pokemon trainers wearing Knight outfits…? Out of curiosity, I kept watching and I saw a Luxio charging into an Onix engulfed in electricity. I sighed and wanted to facepalm so hard. Even an idiot can figure out that an electric type would have no effect on ground types. Common sense! And even more so, there was two of them. Two Onix and a Luxio.

"Sneasel!"

"I know it's unfair… Let's help him out, Lucky!" She looked at me and nodded with a aly smirk on her mouth. She knew she had this, and once she was in that frame of mind, there was little to stand in her way.

The two of us rushed to the side of the boy nwho I assumed owned the Luxio. He was (much) younger than I was, and had short black hair that reminded me of grass (I resisted the urge to touch it) and a very young face to match. He looked over at me with his dark eyes, that said 'What the hell are you doing?!' "Lucky, use Icy Wind!" On a dime, Lucky took a deep breath and blew large chunks of ice at the two Onix. They roared and writhed in pain, shaking the earth and scaring the heck out of everyone (Even the trainers that were using them). The Onix stopped moving and glared at Lucky with their beady eyes, and retreated..? I kid you not they legitimately ran away!

"Kid! You'll pay for that!" One of the weird people in Knights armor yelled at us. "Those Pokemon were under our control and you snapped them out of it!"

"Ghetsis won't be pleased to hear about you!" After that, the two weirdos chased after their Onix. I looked over and Lucky and shrugged. Ghetsis won't be pleased to hear about me? Sounded like some looney nonsense to me. All I know is that Lucky and I kicked ass!

"Why did you do that?!" The boy yelled at me. Yikes. He's fairly hostile and less grateful than I expected him to be.
"Excuse me..?" I asked. It was confusing. I was expecting a 'Thanks!' not a yelling child.

"Why did you jump in?" the kid asked me. His Luxio growled at me very lowly, triggering Lucky to stand between me and the angry electric type.

"Well sorry, seemed like you needed it! You were getting your ass handed to you. Figured you could use the help."

"I don't need help from some bitch!" Woah, back up. Did he just?! My face went from confused to enraged in half a second.

"Well excuse you! Your dumb ass couldn't even figure out that electric types aren't exactly the best to use against ground types. Even a Ryhorn can figure that out. And by the way, this 'bitch' also just stopped two Onix from destroying your little glorified electric cat. I expect a thank you! And I won't leave until I get one! Also you're like 12, who taught you how to speak like that?!" Never have I ever been so upset. Disregard the fact I saved your dumb little Luxio. Insult me why don't you, why not even take Lucky from me while you're at it! People like this really piss me off.

"I'm not saying sorry! I had it all under control!"

"Yeah! What were you going to do? Fluff it do death?" I asked sarcastically. "Look kid. I'm all for you wanting to stand your own ground, but you're going to need help every once and awhile. And insulting the one who just single handedly kept you from running back to the Pokemon Center like a scared toddler, isn't the wisest of moves." I kept my voice calm, to show him I was willing to forgive me if he was less rude. Even Lucky stopped baring her fangs at the Luxio.

"T-thanks for helping… Sorry for calling you names…" That's more like it!
"Respect, kid. It'll get you a long way. Now why were those two guys attacking you? And I can take you home kid. Your Luxio is in no shape to protect you." He nodded, and began to tell his story.

We were now in the city. This place was HUGE. I couldn't believe the size of these buildings! But it never could compare to the size of Castelia City (Those were some gigantic buildings). After stopping off at the Pokemon Center, we made our way to the kids apartment building. "And then you showed up and sacred the Onix away." The kid finished his almost half an hour long story. Most of the parts were very unnecessary (The first 25 minutes of it to be exact), but I was in no position to tell him that.

"They threatened to steal your Pokemon?" I kid nodded and looked at me with wide eyes, as if scared. Lucky growled and crossed her arms. She hated to hear stuff like this, and with reports of it happening even more frequently, Lucky seemed like she was always pissed. "That's terrible… Wait how old are you?"

"I'm 10."

"They're trying to steal a Luxio from a 10 year old… That's very mature. These morons got a name?"

"Team Plasma…" I stopped walking and felt rage consume my entire body. I knew these idiots. They're the ones that tried freezing over idiots…. Still up to their old tricks huh?

"Miss? Are you alright?" I blinked and realized where I was. The kid looked at me worriedly, and probably thought of me as a loony.

"Yeah, sorry. Just thinking of something that's all. This the building kid?" I asked becoming impatient. I looked up at the big blue, glass building. It looked nice, and it seemed very interesting. But I had places to be so I couldn't have tried going inside. He nodded and hugged me at the waist. I looked at him blankly, and very surprised. From having a potty mouth, to giving me hugs. What are the odds? He ran towards the door and stopped as he was just about to open it.

"Are you having nightmares?" The entire world inverted it's color scheme. I was shocked. How did he know? Is it obvious? So many things rush through my mind at high speeds and I respond while very shaken.

"N-no! Of course not. Big girls like me don't have nightmares!" His eyes darted to the floor in disappointed.

"Oh… Me and my family have… I figured maybe you'd have them too… Never mind then." He opened the door and walked inside. I fell to my knees in shock, and of fright. The nightmares… He's having them too. Not just him, his family.

"What the hell is going on, Lucky?"

"Snea…" She probably had no idea. She was as clueless as I was. All I knew is for sure is that would probably be the last I see of that kid. I turned from the building and started on my way to the nearest store. I need a new bag, and more supplies. And food. Lots of food….

"How do rice balls sound, Lucky?"

"Sneasel!" She replied eagerly. I smiled at her. I knew she liked rice balls, and figured she earned it.

"I have to go get a new bag first." I informed her. I looked down at her to see her reaction, and it was a confident nod. We walked through the city aimlessly, still hungry, and feeling a little bit less unstoppable.
