Sorry I didn't put this chapter up sooner, but my Internet wasn't working. Oh well, here's Chapter 3. If it sounds a little weird, I'll change it.
CHAPTER 3- Morning Plan
Bob didn't know what time it was, nor did he care. He was too busy trying to search for more Pokemon with Banette. It was pretty quiet in the dark forested mountain around them. Almost too quiet. He hasn't seen any Pokemon since the two arrived God knows how long ago. Suddenly noise broke the silence.
"I'm BORED!" Bob didn't even have to guess where it came from. He turned to the groaning Banette. "It's just a little further. We can make it." Bob said. "That's what you said an hour ago." Banette said. "I'm sure this time. We'll take a left at the willow tree ahead of us." Bob said and continued walking. "My feet are hurting. Hiking's no thing a Banette should be doing." Banette said and sat down on a rock by the path.
"It's just right there. It's beyong the left turn and the waterfall. It says here on this map. Wait, where is the map?" Bob said and started searching through his backpack. "Oh, here it is. Hmm, take a right at the water fall and up the rocky hill- Aaaah!" Bob screamed as Banette punched the other side of the map. "What's your problem Banette, you're trying to give me a heart... at... ack.." Bob stopped when he saw he was face to face with a hungry Ursaring.
"AAAAAH! Banette! WHERE ARE YOU! HELP ME!" Bob screamed as the bear picked him up and started shaking him. Bob could've sworn the Ursaring was about to use Solar Beam when he opened his eyes. He was staring out the window and the sun was hitting his eyes. He realized he was still being shaken so he looked down to see Banette nudging him.
"Wake up, you have to make breakfast." Banette said. "Can't you make it yourself?" Bob asked. "Not really. I usually burn or undercook stuff. You do have food, right?" Banette asked. "Of course I do! I have prunes, oatmeal, soymilk, coffee, apple-" "I tell you what, you can have breakfast here while I beg for food from the neighbors." Banette said and ran out the door. Bob didn't have nearly enough time to stop him.
Once outside Banette tried fixing himself to look cuter; he knew his species was known to be a bit scary. He gave up and just strutted into the neighbor's yard. He was about to reach the door when it opened. Banette quickly hid in some bushes by the house and peered out. Two kids walked out of the house. They were a little boy and an even younger girl, both probably seven and five. The girl was holding a blue beach ball as the two ran across the street to another house. Banette, assuming the kids won't be back for a while, climbed out and headed for the door.
He couldn't find a doorbell, so he settled for banging on the door. Banette tried to look as cute and pathetic as possible while he waited for someone to answer. Sure enough, a young woman came to the door. She didn't see the begging Banette at her feet until she heard a shuffle. She looked down, "Banette..." "AAAAAH!" and screamed. Banette was about to make a run for it when the woman suddenly bent down and picked him up.
"You poor thing, you must be hungry." She cooed. Banette simply noddled, mentally smirking at his successful plan. "Well, I've got just the thing for that." The woman said and carried Banette inside. She set him at the dining room table and went into the kitchen to fix something a Banette could handle eating, like a milkshake or something. She couldn't decide on making vanilla or chocolate.
Soon, Banette was getting bored. 'I'm getting a little bored. Bob is a little boring. He has such a funny name. It rhymes with Spongebob. Hmm, I wonder if that annoying yellow sponge finally got cancelled.' Banette thought and chuckled at his last thought. At that moment, the woman walked in with a chocolate milkshake with a straw. "Here you go. I hope you like chocolate." She placed the milkshake on the table. Banette would have thanked her, but didn't want to freak her out. He unzipped his mouth and opened it ever so slightly to insert the straw.
Just then, there was a knock at the door. The two kids rushed in before the woman got to the door. The sudden entrance started Banette. "Man, those kids are- I mean, Banette bane!" Banette shouted. The kids took one look at him before hiding behind their mother. "Mommy, make that scary thing go away!" The girl cried out. "Don't worry Erin, it won't hurt you." The boy shot a look of fear at Banette. "That's a Banette. I heard they eat kids like us!" He said. Banette gave him a hurt look and placed the milkshake down, zipping his mouth in the process.
"Don't be silly Kevin, a Banette can't eat you, I think." The mother said. Kevin calmed down a bit, but Erin still wasn't sure. She backed away even more when Banette jumped off the chair to greet her.
"Come on Erin, it doesn't look all that mean." Kevin said. "But it's scary! Just make it go away!" Erin cried as she picked up a skate shoe and threw it at Banette full force. It hit him square in the face. Unfortunately, his yelp of pain came out in plain English. "Yeowch! Not the face!" He cried out and clutched his face.
Everyone stood in shocked silence. 'Please say they didn't hear that.' Banette thought as he showed himself out. As he was out in the yard, Banette found Bob searching around for him across the street. 'Meh, might as well go back.' Banette flatly thought. Banette quietly crossed the street and hid in some bushes to spy on him a bit. He leaned in a little closer to hear what he was mumbling about.
"Why did I even bother getting that stubborn Banette? I could've started with a Shuppet. When I find that talking jerk, I'll tie him to a chair and throw him in the basement for a couple days. Then maybe he'll respect me a little more." Banette crawled out of the bushes in utter shock. 'I thought Clara gave me to a kind trainer. This old fart really doesn't sound like he fits the part. I'll just go back to Clara, she'll understand.' Banette thought and then wondered which direction it was. "But first, to get an adress book and a phone." Banette said and walked off in a random direction.
