A/N: Haay peeps. Thanks everyone that satisfied my comment whore needs XD
I've been told there are a few errors in the last chapter, that seem to be minor, but I literally have to take down the chapter and reupload it. Is there an easier way?
I'll try proofreading it again; I also forgot some linebreaks I wanted in there.
I'll admit *cough* I haven't played my game recently =[ but I'll try, for reals!
Edited: So after several days of slowly doing this, I played my game a shitton more. Because we had a snow day! And now after hearing a theory about the game, I'm excited to get this under way
Edit again: So I didn't get too far on the last note XD but then got further behind because I went to an anime convention! I cosplayed N, but had a really bad wig _ SO I'm on the car ride home when typing this now. Woo driving?
I apologize for the long wait, but thanks EVERYONE who commented and watched this story! I found a few grammatical mistakes in the last chapter, so I may go fix those…which involves me taking the chapter down for a while.
let's try getting chapter three on a roll XP
[CHAPTER 3]
White carried Snivy across the small city, excusing herself around some elderly people. She walked further away into a grassy section of the city with a tunnel nearby. Pausing, she went to the glass doors and let herself in. A plasma screen TV covered one side of the wall and an electric banner over the top displayed some announcements scrolling across.
White read them only for a moment, finding the date and then the time: 9:00 p.m. She watched it scroll away before heading out of the tunnel's light, set back into darkness. "I didn't even notice is was this late…" She eyed the path, grass covering it and rustling was heard. She looked at Snarky, the tiny reptile looking back up. "I can't believe we've only been together for a day."
Snarky cooed, smiling in her arms as White continued walking, heading down a dirt road. The sun was setting over the pines and occasional hills. A few Woobats flew over White's head, heading over the hills to a further route. White's Pokédex beeped once and shut off, being ignored. "Oh crap, it's getting late. We gotta catch up to Cheren!" White looked at Snarky and started walking through the grass, avoiding all the Pokémon she saw. Snarky nodded, nuzzling his trainer's arm as she hurried around obstacles and trainers, playing ninja.
The sun set, leaving the field to look purple as the last light was vanishing. White panted, covered in dirt and scratches from running under trees too quickly. Her stomach growled, making her brisk pace slow to a lumbering walk, Snarky looking around quicker than her feet moved. Groaning, she finally stopped walking the path. Snarky tilted his head back up at her, letting out a small cry before a yelp. White sat suddenly on a blank patch of grass, leaning against a tree. "Hungryyyyy…" She mused, giving a small sigh.
Snarky frowned, wiggling his way out of White's grip and went under her arm, digging through her bag. White looked over and moved the bag off her shoulder, allowing Snarky further access. The limbed snake dug around before slithering out, dragging a plastic Tupperware out with him. White stared, taking the case and read a pink sticky note pasted on the lid:
[ Honey, Don't work too hard, and don't forget you need three square meals a day!
Love Mom 3
P.S. I bought a bag of Pokémon food for you too!]
White smiled, setting the plastic down to pull out a small crinkling bag of food. The bag read simply: Pokéfood, and was an aqua color with Tepig, Oshawott, and Snivy chibis on the cover. White giggled, showing Snarky.
"Check it out, you're famous!" Snarky clapped, smiling and reaching for the bag with his stubby paws. Laughing, White set the Tupperware lid on the grass and poured some o f the dry food onto it. Snarky clapped again, sitting back and curling his tail around him as he started to nibble. Giggling, White pulled out her second Pokéball and let Inu-chan have some of Snarky's spoils. The puppy yapped, running around the field for a couple minutes before finally sitting to eat. White took out her sandwich—peanut butter and jelly—and ate the first triangle quickly. Grass started shifting in the wind as it got even darker, clouds covering up the three quarter moon off and on. White shivered, rubbing her arms a little from the chill.
A pair of glowing eyes looked at them from a dark bush, growling in its throat slightly. White looked up at the noise and saw nothing but shrouded leaves, being shaken by the light, chilly breeze sweeping through the clearing. She shrugged, picking up the other part of her sandwich and paused before taking another bite, looking around. "Hey Snarky, do you hear that?" She looked over at her partner, who was staring at her nonchalantly and chewing. She took that as a no, eyes darting around a couple more times before starting to eat the second half.
"Mrrrreow!" White almost choked on her peanut butter as she saw a small Purrloin approaching her side. Snarky hissed, hopping to his short feet and waved his tail a few times. White finally swallowed safely, looking at the cat that gave her the pitifully adorable face, ears falling down.
"Aw…she's hungry," she watched the cat slowly lick her paw, still looking quite meek. Snarky growled, taking the bag of Pokéfood that was the same size as he was a hugged it close to his scaly body. Mine. White frowned, extending a hand to him. "C'mon Snarks, sharing is caring and kitties are cute," He chattered, shaking his head a few times before getting a sterner look. "You'll get fat if you eat that entire bag of food!"
Snarky's eyes widened, looking at the puppy (who had fallen asleep before even finishing all his food) before handing the bag to White, still glaring at Purrloin. The cat got to her feet, excited as White got a handful of food set onto a soft patch of grass for her. Purrloin mewed, licking White's fingers before she could pull away fully and began eating. White thought for a little bit, taking out her Pokédex and checking the cat's information again. "Well, she doesn't exactly fit the bill my Pokédex says." White looked at the feasting cat, watching it's purple ears go back to normal form, and scythe tail twitching with every gust of wind.
The young Pokémon trainer leaned against the tree behind her, putting the crusts of her sandwich back into the Tupperware. She let out a sigh, watching Inu-chan breathe evenly, comfortably asleep, and the clouds cover and uncover the moon. The clouds twisted and spiked randomly, leaving long streams that reminded her of green hair glistening. Purrloin started to clean her paws, having finished all White had given her. The trainer watched her, observing some battle scars on the young Pokémon and sighed, looking back to the wispy clouds that reminded her of…
"Oh god," she thought. "Why would this remind me of that stupid groupie, sure there's a Purrloin here and he's got crazy, dreamy hair… but really, what a dork." White scoffed, looking back at Snarky as he yawned with a tiny squeak. She smiled, then frowned as Purrloin's ears went back and hissed at Snarky, and kept distance from the sleepy puppy. She got to her feet, looking at White before running off into a bush. White pulled out a Pokéball on instinct, but sighed as the cat disappeared. Instead, White withdrew Inu-chan's Pokéball and recalled him, not that he noticed.
White got to her feet, stretching and packed away the food in her bag. Snarky yawned; mimicking her stretches before White picked him up, slinging the bag over her shoulder. "Let's get going, I'm tired." Snarky squeaked in agreement as White continued walking through the bushes. Soon, a streetlight came into view over a sign that said: Striaton City ahead. She walked past it and headed towards another tunnel like the one exiting Accumula town.
She groaned, dragging her feet onto concrete as a sidewalk formed after the tunnel with the night watchman. Her feet lead her into the new towns, apartments lining the walkway, moon still overhead. It was probably around 11 o'clock when White found her way to the Pokémon center, the automatic doors sliding open as she got closer. "Whoosh…" A few trainers were around the main area at tables, drinking coffee and reading. Some were completely asleep on cots or plushy couches that littered the main area. The Pokémart in the corner's lights were off, showing they had closed for the evening. White went to the counter, where the nurse was typing on a computer with a pink and cream colored Pokémon behind her. White's Pokédex started to go off, but she ignored it and set Snarky and Inu-chan's Pokéballs on the counter.
The nurse looked up at the noise, as did the large eared Pokémon. White blinked, rubbing her eyes. "Can you heal them please…" The nurse nodded, her Pokémon picking up Snarky and set him on a table, recharging him. The nurse looked at White as she yawned, waiting.
"Do you need a room for the night?" She asked and White looked at her, confused.
"A room…? Isn't this the Pokémon center…" She looked around. The nurse smiled.
"We have rooms built for trainers that need rest. You look like you need some," she handed her a key with a Pokéball on the end. "You can have room 4 down that hall to the right." The pink Pokémon set Snarky back on the main counter, who was holding Inu-chan Pokéball as well. White nodded, taking the key.
"Thanks very much!" She smiled and picked Snarky up, carrying him down the designated hallway and to a room with a gold 4 on the door. She entered, finding a small one bed room with a lamp and alarm clock. She set Snarky on the bed by the pillow, where he flopped onto the fluffy cushion. White put her bag onto the desk nearby and pulled out a pair of cotton grey pants and a pink tank top. She changed into her pajamas and set the alarm clock, looking at the bed where Snarky had comfortably fallen asleep in the exact center of the bed. She sighed, climbing around him and slept with her back against the wall.
"Good night Snarky," she yawned, petting him gently and getting a small whine in response as he curled up, moving against her stomach and pulled the blankets to his waist. "And I thought Tepig was hog…"
Purrloin mewed, backing up before getting her head patted. "There there friend, you can run free again now. Thank you for helping me…" White light surrounded the cat before dispersing; a Pokéball in the masculine person's hand did the same thing before shrinking to normal size. Purrloin meowed, going to step towards the person again but he stood, setting a handful of food on the ground and walked away. "Take care!" He waved over his shoulder and went through the tunnel to Striaton city, leaving Purrloin sitting under a tree with more food, when she wasn't even hungry anymore. She curled up, staying on the path and fell asleep as the moon reached its full height.
White awoke the next morning with comfy sheets around her and hair down. She didn't really remember taking out her ponytail but figured she was just tired. Looking down, Snarky was still curled up next to her, but had definitely given her more room during the night. She carefully got up, sliding off the bed around him and went to get changed again. She had a clean set of clothes on a table next to the bathroom. "Oh yeah, I put my clothes in for laundry…" she yawned, looking at the time before herself in the mirror. She was tired, of course, but her memory should have been better. "Oh well."
After doing her hair and making sure her visor was on straight, she came out of the bathroom and back into the bedroom. Snarky was sitting up in bed, rubbing his large eyes with tiny paws and slowly hopped to his feet, bouncing on the bed a few times before realizing White was giggling at him. She smiled, watching while Snarky crossed his arms and huffed. White picked up her bag and put it over her shoulder, reminding herself to check her Pokédex entries later if she felt like it.
Exiting the room, Snarky walked next to her, stretching a few times like White had the night before. He followed his trainer out into the main area of the Pokémon center, where the people from the night before had cleared out and more workers or college students were just relaxing on a Saturday morning. Snarky looked around, watching the people laughing and talking and Pokémon doing the same. He gulped, keeping close to White's heels when he bumped into them with a squeak. White looked back at the sound. "Sorry Snarky, want me to carry you again?" Snarky shook his head and took the lead, walking towards the table that had a bunch of breakfast items on it, and bowls of Pokéfood on the floor. White snickered again and followed him, getting a plate and took a couple muffins for herself and sat at a table nearby to keep an eye on Snarky. She released Inu-chan, and he instantly started running circles around her table.
People looked over at the yappy puppy, making White blush and look under the table. "Inu-chan, Snarky has some breakfast!" The dog stopped and looked up at her incredulously, as if disbelieving before Snarky gave a cry, waving him over (though he didn't look very thrilled about it). The puppy wagged his tail and bounced over to Snarky's bowl, where the grass snake was eating with his paws, he stuck his entire face into it. A few older watchers started to chuckle and continue eating their breakfast.
White finished her muffins and got rid of the trash, looking at her two Pokémon have an argument over Inu's table manners. White waved, getting their attention. "Come on guys, we've gotta look around this place. Cheren said there's a gym here."
"There is a gym here!" A petite, short green haired boy walked by, throwing away a cup of coffee. "I could…I mean if you want, I could show you where it is." He smiled, eyes matching his hair color. White blinked a few times before nodding.
"That'd be great!"
"Excellent. I'm Cilan." He offered a hand after a moment, and White complied with a shake.
"I'm White, this is Snarky and Inu-chan." She motioned to the two tiny Pokémon looking up at the strange-haired boy. He smiled, waving.
"Pleasure to meet you! So… is this Snivy your starter from the Professor? She's been talking about a group she sent off on their journey yesterday."
"Yup, we just met yesterday…how did you know?" White answered and followed the boy out of the Pokémon center. He was wearing a white button up shirt with black accents. He looked sort of like a waiter, but didn't want to question him much.
"Oh, well that's great. You two look like great friends already." He stopped in front of a tall building with stone pillars by the doors, ignoring her question. "This is the gym, it's also a café. We..uh… should meet up for lunch later!" He smiled genuinely, but nervously. White nodded, smiling back.
"Sounds great, I think I'm going to go explore and train these two a little more before actually challenging the leader."
"Leaders actually. I recommend you go east towards the Dreamyard, there are lots of Pokémon and trainers that will help you out," he took a small bow. "Have a nice day, White. See you later!" He turned on a heel while waving and entered the café gym. She watched him leave then looked back at her team.
"Okay, let's go see this Dreamyard place," she took a right up the concrete path and then left, heading towards another tunnel stop. A few trainers inside were watching the news on the screen, as well as the watchman. Snarky made another shrill sound, grinning up at White with slanted eyes. She tilted her head. "What?"
Her grass Pokémon shook his head, continuing to walk out of the tunnel into another grassy path. A cement fence covered the left side, as well as a few trees blocking part of the crumbling wall. A few trainers walked around, and a couple challenging each other. White gulped, looking at her Pokémon but walked around, not wanting to disturb them. While watching a couple boys' battle of Lillipups, she almost bumped into a girl. "Oh! Excuse me…" She backed up.
The girl waved a hand. "No, it's okay really. If you came to challenge those two you came at a bad time. They're always fighting each other when no other trainers come here," she looked at Inu and Snarky, smiling. "Aw, cute. Snivy was your starter huh? Are you going to challenge the gym?"
White nodded. "That's my plan, but I haven't heard anything about the gym leader or their Pokémon types."
The girl nodded. "Well, there's three gym leaders. But you only fight one. You'll have to battle the younger brother, Chili, because he has a fire Pokémon."
White's eyes widened a little. "A fire type? But Snarky is weak against fire types, and I haven't trained Inu-chan very much…" She looked at them a little nervously, and Snarky shivered.
"Oh, well at least you know your effective types. You could get a few more pointers from the trainer school south of the Pokémon center."
"A school? Well, I guess I could try it out later…I'm gonna train for a bit though." She nodded and Snarky puffed his chest out, crossing his arms. The girl smiled, digging in her bag and handed her a Pokéball.
"Here, take this. I know it's kind of random but I love helping the newer trainers. Battling against types you're weak to is scary." White took the Pokéball and looked at it.
"A Pokémon…I can't accept it though, it wouldn't be right."
"No no, I give all the trainers Professor sends out a Pokémon. It's just to balance your team out a little bit."
"So, did you see a boy with dark hair and a blonde girl with a green hat?"
"Yup, and a few before them. Juniper sure chose a lot of trainers to send off early, huh? Well, good luck, I wanna watch your battle at the café!" She smiled, walking around white to go break up the boys' fight.
White watched her walk away, looking at the Pokéball carefully before holding it out and released the creature inside. A blue and tan monkey with a water spout shape on its head came out, yawning and looking around before looking up at White with fox eyes. She waved. "Hello, I'm White." Her Pokédex beeped and she pulled it out, going to the newest entry.
"PANPOUR: The Spray Pokémon. The tuft on the top of its head contains water that contains lots of nutrient. If it must thrive in dry environments, it dampens itself with this water."
She looked through the other entries while she was there, including the Woobats that had flown overhead and the pink Pokémon that had followed the nurse—Audino. The monkey scratched its head, looking around more and squeaked to Snarky, who replied with a similar, lower toned one. Inu-chan went and started sniffing the new party member, giving her a big lick on the face. Panpour whined, wiping off her face and squirted water back in the dog's face, earning a yelp.
"Whoa, you know water gun?" White blinked, and the monkey nodded, spitting more water on the grass and made Snarky move out of the way. "That'll be super effective on a fire type that the Chili guy has…this is great!" She smiled, kneeling by the Panpour. "You need a nickname…"
"Whi—ite!" The trainer's thought process was interrupted as she looked over her shoulder to see Bianca running towards her, holding her hat onto her head. Snarky squeaked, getting out of the running girl's way and kept near White. Inu-chan yapped, bounding over to meet their new guest.
"Bianca?" White got up, getting half glomped by the blonde girl. "Ack! Hey, what are you doing here?"
"Going to train, duh! And and—I'm going on a lunch date with a red haired hottie!" She squealed. White blinked, looking at her before the ground, and back up.
White smiled. "Congrats, I'm going to lunch with this green haired guy in the café too."
"Then it's a double date! Well, I just hope he pays, he seemed a bit arrogant."
White rolled her eyes, just smiling and blowing it off as her flighty friend had. "Yeah, stupid boys."
"Speaking of stupid boys, Cheren has been at the trainer school since last night! He must've slept in that place reading books about strategy." Her eyes stopped on Panpour, who tilted her head at the blonde.
"Aw, you got a Pokémon too! That girl is really nice; she told me all about the gym and who I'd be battling, I can't remember his name now…"
White shrugged. "Ah well, by the sounds of it us three will be battling different trainers anyways." She looked back at Panpour, still trying to think of a name when Bianca grabbed her by the arm.
"Will you come to the Dreamyard with me? I heard a scientist was looking for a rare Pokémon that can control dreams!" her eyes were sparkling as White nodded, also intrigued.
"Sounds great, but why would a scientist be interested in that?"
"The Pokémon apparently gives off some kind of incense that she can use in a project. I'm no good at science, but I really wanna meet a Pokémon that can do that!"
"Same here, I wanted to try training Inu-chan anyways, ad Panpour too."
"Great! I saw some tall grass in here." She pulled White into a break in the fencing. A tall cement structure was built and dilapidated, crumbling in parts, pillars being all that was keeping a top level up. Some stairs lead up onto the roof, but White was unsure if she wanted to brave going on top of the place. The center was open and had some wider pillars, dirt spots, as well as tall grass. Some Pokémon were heard around nearby. Upon walking over a hill, they reached the center of the Dreamyard, to see a floating, pink floral Pokémon and two metallically dressed people.
"Come on you stupid Pokémon, cough up the dream dust!" One said, kicking the pink creature into his partner. It let out a chiming cry of distress as it was pushed around. The second trainer got a Pokéball.
"Let's just battle it until it gives us more."
"What are you doing?" Bianca gasped, running over to the clearing. White was pulled along, her three Pokémon having to run to keep up with them. "You can't attack Munna like that, who are you?" She demanded, then recoiled behind her friend as the first male shot her a glare. Bianca and White's Pokédex started to beep, Bianca was the one to pull hers out.
"MUNNA: The Dream Eater Pokémon. It is always floating in the air, absorbing people's dreams. When the dreams are absorbed—people no longer remember their dreams, and Munna releases a pink mist"
"We're getting the dream dust we need, now be gone kids!" The second said and the first silenced him.
"They have Pokémon as partners; I think the boss would like us to liberate them too!"
White tisked, glaring. "Bianca, this is Team Plasma. They're bad news."
She looked up at White, bewilderment on her face. "How do you know them?"
"We—me and Cheren—heard their leader give a speech in Accumula town. They want to take and release everyone's Pokémon."
She looked at her friend for a few more seconds. "So…they don't use Pokémon?"
"They do, they're just hypocritical."
"We are not! We battle for our cause, lady!" The second retorted, flustered, and earned a slap in the arm by his knight partner.
"Be quiet, Felix! We do our job. And if they're in our way of getting the dream dust the Seven Sages want, we must get rid of them!" He pulled out a Pokéball, and Felix nodded, doing the same.
"What are Seven Sages?" Bianca let off of White's arm, and she shook her head.
"I don't know Bianca but this is a bad time. I'll battle this guy and you take the other." She stepped in front of the first Plasma member, Bianca flanking her to go in front of Felix.
Inu-chan ran up from behind Snarky and jumped in front of White, growling. White nodded. "Let's do this Inu-chan." She said quietly, Snarky and Panpour keeping behind them. Felix shimmied away, digging out a Pokéball too.
"You sure this is a good idea, Wyatt?"
"Go, Patrat!" Wyatt ignored his partner, letting the small gopher-like Pokémon face Inu-chan. The inu barked, and the rat made a chattering sound back at him. White frowned but kept their battle not far from Bianca's.
"Inu-chan, tackle!" White started off the battle, and from there everything was set off. Patrat was attacking quickly, landing several hits on Inu-chan before he managed to knock him back into his trainer, putting stars into his eyes.
"Patrat! …kids aren't supposed to defeat Team Plasma!" Wyatt howled, enraged. Felix started to panic when he partner lost, his Purrloin being dispatched by Bianca's Pansear shortly after. White let out a sigh of relief, nodding to her puppy Pokémon that was still determined to scare off the pair. He barked, not being too threatening, but he tried. Bianca let out a deep breath she had been holding in, fishing through her duffle bag for a Pokéball.
"Return, Pansear, thank you!" The red monkey yowled a little in accomplishment before disappearing. Bianca put the ball away and White glared back to the Team Plasma members.
"Okay you two, leave that Munna alone!"
Felix looked to Wyatt, who had a contemplative face on. "What do we do?" Wyatt shook his head, a hand going to his forehead. He glanced back at the injured Munna, moving his leg to kick it one more time but stopped.
"We must retreat, and hope the sages will not hear of this."
"We already have." A voice boomed from behind a concrete pillar. White jumped and Inu-chan gave a yelp, both looking over to the voice. The green and violet cloaked sage Ghetsis stepped out in a flash, looking at the grunts with distaste.
"M-my lord Ghetsis! We—" Wyatt started, and was silenced when the person he spoke to appeared on his other side, glowering down with his red monocle.
"We, Team Plasma, exist to separate Pokémon from foolish trainers…If you cannot fulfill your duties…" His face was shadowed, eyebrows furrowing. Felix started to shiver, looking at his partner.
"This isn't Ghetsis when he's gathering followers…or control people by tricking them."
"Right…this is Ghetsis when a plan has failed, and he's going to issue a punishment," Wyatt sounded worried now as well. "Let's scram!" He and Felix both took off running, jumping over the Munna and pushing Bianca out of the way. She shrieked in surprise, adjusting her hat and looking to where they ran off—a path of dust showing where they tread.
White looked back at where the medieval duo ran off, looking back to glare at Ghetsis. Instead, she was glaring at a grassy patch further away. "Where did he—" She stopped, hearing a low chiming sound. A floating, pink and purple Pokémon hovered to Munna, giving off a pink mist as it flew.
"Shaaaar…" The floating Pokémon called. Munna rolled back to its small feet, starting to hover up next to the larger version. White looked between them when her Pokédex started to beep. She withdrew it, opening the pink lid to see a picture of the Pokémon in front of her.
"MUSHARNA: The Drowsing Pokémon. The mist coming from it is filled with dreams it has eaten from people and Pokémon. It can make shapes of things from dreams out of the mist."
White shut the lid once the screen turned black, setting it back in her bag. "What's a Musharna doing here?"
"Did we just dream that the Ghetsis guy was here?" Bianca asked, looking around the area suspiciously. Behind them, a woman with long, flowing black hair ran towards them.
"You two! Hey!" The woman stopped next to White, still much taller than the younger girl. "That's a Musharna…!" Her eyes practically sparkled behind her glasses. Said Pokémon looked at the woman, then the Munna. The two gave a short bow to the trainers before floating into the grass, disappearing in a cloud of mist.
White tilted her head slightly, but Bianca stepped forward. "Fennel, something weird just happened! There was Munna, and Team Plasma, and more team plasma! Then Musharna and…now you." She sighed, getting a nod from Fennel.
"I think I followed that…well, Munna was in danger. Perhaps Musharna was just defending its friend by creating an illusion of a Team Plasma person." She adjusted her glasses, looking down at White. "Pardon me, I'm Fennel, a scientist here. I've been looking for—Dream mist!" Her eyes lit up again, running behind White before she should shake her hand. White smiled nervously but looked back at the professor running around the pink fog with a jar.
"Pleasure to meet you, Fennel…I'm White."
"Pleasure! Oh my god, this is the last piece of my project!" She capped the jar and ran off, picking up dust just as the grunts had. "See you ladies later!" A distant call was heard. White gulped, looking as she ran off.
"Well. She's excited."
"Come on Bianca, We don't wanna be late for our double date!" White teased, laughing as Bianca started to blush. She pulled her hat on further.
"Oh shut up, you're just as excited. We get to see the gym before we even challenge it!" White nodded in agreement, coming around the last turn from the Dreamyard back into the city. "By the way," Bianca stopped walking, pointing back towards Route 2, "Fennel's lab is on the second floor of that building there. She said I could visit any time, I'd say it applies to you too, White!"
"That's great; we can stop there after lunch."
"White!" The girl looked away from her shorter friend to see Cilan on the steps of the café, waving to her with a nervous smile on. White smiled and waved back, much more casually. Looking from the green haired male to her friend, Bianca walked to the steps with her.
"Hello Cilan, this is my friend Bianca. She said she has a lunch date here as well."
"Yo, Bianca baby!" White heard from behind her, turning to see Bianca doing the same, waving excitedly. An average height male with blazing red hair started to stride down the pavement, saluting to the blond girl. His clothes were in the same category as Cilan's—very much like a waiter.
"Hi Chili!"
"Chili?" White jumped, looking from Bianca to the red haired boy, then Cilan. "Did you say the gym leader I'd face would be…"
"Oh, yeah…Chili is a gym leader here…and um…" Cilan started to fluster under the pressure, and Bianca looked up.
"Wait, Chili didn't you call the gym leader I'd fight something like Cilantro?"
"Cil…antro?" Cilan paled, frowning and held his head in his hands. "…Forgotten elder brother…"
White looked between them, starting to get dizzy and confused. "I don't understand, what's going on?"
Chili hopped up the steps, standing next to White at her same height. "Me, the amazing Chili, and your gym leader miss! My brother here is gonna be Bianca's gym leader, and the other one Cress is whoever chose a fire Pokémon as a starter."
"Three gym leaders…" White looked at Cilan. "Why didn't you say you were a gym leader?"
"I can't handle the pressure…!" Cilan turned red, backing away, thinking White was angry. She shook her head.
"Sorry…but that's an important factor. Cheren will be facing your third brother then," she looked back at Chili. "So I'm battling you, and Bianca's having lunch with you. Kind of random, right?" She gave a smile, Chili reciprocating it and smirking.
"Oh right, lunch…about that—"
"We're just waiters!" Cilan practically sobbed. White rose and eyebrow and pat the now crouching gym leader as reassurance she wasn't angry.
"You're gym leaders. You must be powerful, and we appreciate the invitation to have lunch without feeling awkward…it's kind of spoiled now."
"Well, actually I was gonna say that Cress had the idea that our lunch date was more along the lines of a gym battle,"
White stared at him, Bianca did too. Cilan finally stood and gulped, fidgeting a little as he waited for the girls to answer. They were still staring at Chili, wide eyed. He finally replied:
"What, girls dig battles, don't they?"
A/N: GYEEEAAAH.
It's finally done…good jesus.
Four thousand of these words were written in a car and the others here at home D: about 1500 of them just now and I'm tired…
I'm so sorry I've procrastinated on writing this! I went to the anime convention (as said above) and sort of put this off.
Anyways, I hope you enjoy this slightly-longer chapter...I kinda thought my other two chapters were 6k words each, not three XD Consistancy fail!
I'm a comment whore, so please comment!
Oh, and if any of my other watchers are here…I'm working on a chapter of Kitsune Secchuu!
