"Juniper!What are you doing here?" Juniper gave a wry smile and chuckled. She had brown chestnut hair tied up in a short ponytail on her head. Her Cyan eyes twinkled mischievously.
"What's wrong Oak, unhappy to see me?" Oak turned red and vehemently denied it, his hands waving. He was basically babbling at this point.
"No, it's just that I wasn't expecting you! If it's about Snivy she's safe and sound!" Juniper nodded and turned to Ash. "If it's no problem Oak, I want to see for myself." Oak nodded and let her pass.
"Can I examine Snivy young man?" Ash stared at her in distrust, inching away a bit. Juniper eyes lit up in understanding, and she knelt down in front of Ash. 'I'm not going to take her away." She added softly, her arms outstretched and her smile a bit sad. Ash slowly nodded and handed Snivy over. There was a ring of truth in her voice.
Juniper examined Snivy, much to her discomfort. The grass type squirmed and struggled. It was clear though that juniper was used to this kind of attitude, since she held Snivy firmly and gently. In the end, she returned Snivy to Ash, who held the grass type in his arms. Juniper looked at Ash.
"You must love that Snivy very much if you're willing to move to Unova for it young man."Juniper said, her tone caring. Oak blinked and opened his mouth to say something. One look from Juniper made him close it again.
"That's right! My name is Ash Ketchum and I'll be a pokemon master!" Ash said, a proud grin on his face. It was soon replaced by a pleading frown. "So please, let me take care of her!" He hugged Snivy harder.
Oak regarded Ash silently. This was the moment he had been dreading. Ash had finally gotten a new friend and it was leaving him, just like Gary. He braced himself for the inevitable tears.
Imagine his surprise when Juniper actually nodded! His jaw dropped. The female professor pretended not to take notice.
"While normally I will disagree, in this case I'll make an exception." Juniper said, and Ash did a little jig around the room. "But it is going to be hard Ash. Snivy is traumatized and young. Will you be able to do this?" Ash looked up with a determined gaze and nodded.
"I promise I will! And if there is one thing I never do, is back down from my promises!"
4 years later
Ash sat in front of the television, with Snivy in his arms. They were watching a Nidorino and a Gengar battle. The Poison type was hit by a shadow ball, and it's trainer shouted encouraging words.
"Who do you think will win?"Ash asked his friend, as the Nidorino made a counterattack. Snivy was silent for a moment before pointing to Gengar, who had a wide grin on it's face and another shadow ball charging in it's hands.
"Me too." Ash said softly, as they resumed watching.
"Ash!What do you think you're doing up at this hour! Go to bed this instant! You wouldn't want to be late tomorrow, wouldn't you?" Delia shouted, appearing behind him. She was brandishing a saucepan threateningly and wore a chastising look on her face.
"Of course not! Come on Snivy, let's go." Snivy cooed, and they went upstairs. Snivy snuggled up beside Ash as soon as he lied down on his bed.
'Tomorrow's the day I finally start my pokemon journey.'Ash said. Snivy prodded him with her finger. "Sorry, we." This satisfied Snivy, and they both fell asleep.
Done!Hope you like it!Sorry if it's too short.
