Chapter III: A New Adventure, or Two
Brendan was not sleeping well after the day. He was thinking about Lisia being hurt, and how she could've died if he hadn't had been there. Even though it was Mightyena who saved them, but the Pokemon liked HIM. It may not had saved Lisia if Brendan wasn't there. She was pretty shaken up, she had cuts and bruises all over her body.
He got up out of bed, put on his housecoat, walked into the hallway, and down the stairs as he walked into the living room. He saw Lisia on the couch in the same place. She looked so peaceful to Brendan, he personally had never seen a girl as pretty as her in his life. He smiled. He walked over to the door and walked outside. He went over to the grass, and laid down so he could watch the clear night sky. Literally every star was visable. He stared at the sky thinking about his journey tomorrow. He heard footsteps behind him coming from the house. He turned his head to see a beautiful turcoise-haired girl sit next to him.
"Hey..." She said softly. He continued to stare at her. "Hi." He whispered back. "Couldn't sleep?" She asked. He looked back up to the sky. "No, I am anxious for tomorrow." He murmured. She looked at him with a curious look, he noticed "I'm leaving to go on a journey." He exclaimed. She laid down on her back "I want to go as well. I would've already left if I hadn't have gotten lost in the woods." She said. Brendan turned his head to look at her "I'm sorry about what happened. If only I was there earl...". "You saved my life." She interrupted as she turned her head to look at him. "Thank you." She added.
They stared at eachother for a few minutes. "Well I should go back to bed." She announced as she attempted to get up but then collapsed at the pain from being with amazing speed caught her before she landed face-first into the grass. Her face was only a few inches from Brendan's face, as they both blushed so hard a tomato would be jealous.
"Let me carry you up to my bed, I'll sleep on the couch." he offered. "I am fi..." She tried to speak but he picked her up bridal style again before walking her back to the house. "You really don't need to do this" she said as she looked up at Brendan. "I know, but I will anyways." He smiled
He walked her upstairs to his room and laid her down in his bed, and covered her with the comforter. He started walking towards the door. "Brendan, stay with me." She said. He spun to look at her with a confused face. "don't worry, I just need somebody here." She continued. Brendan nodded and went to the other side as he crawled in on the other side next to her. She stared at him. "Goodnight" she whispered. "Goodnight" he answered back.
Brendan woke up to a tickling on his nose. He opened his eyes and noticed blue hair locks on his face. He brushed them off as he remembered what happened last night. He smiled as he got up. He was still in his housecoat. He walked downstairs as he saw his mom in the kitchen cooking something. He walked over to the island-counter. "Morning mom." He greeted. "Morning Brendan." Caroline answered back. Brendan went over to the cupboards, and grabbed a cup before he got himself a cup of coffee. He walked over to sit down at the island-counter. The TV was on.
"So tell me, why is it Lisia slept with you last night?" She questioned. He explained what happened last night...except the romantic part watching the stars. He reached his hand behind his head and laughed nervously. "Nothing between us happened last night mom." He explained. "Good, you both are underage." She teased. Brendan
After a few minutes, his mom said "Go wake up Lisia, Breakfast is ready." She announced
He went upstairs and into his room as he saw Lisia up and looking out the window. "Hey, Breakfast is ready. That is if you are ready to eat." He told her. She spun around "BREAKFAST. LETS GO! IM HUNGRY!" She shouted as she ran past Brendan, she was running so fast that she could beat a Rapidash in a race. Brendan thought Somebody is feeling better today. He chuckled as he left the room and started walking down the stairs.
After walking downstairs he saw the Lisia was almost finished with her first plate of food. She was sitting at the island-counter, stuffing her face quicker than a Snorlax. He smiled as he walked into the kitchen and dished his plate up with eggs, sausage and waffles. He sat down next to Lisia as she just finished her first plate. She dished up another plateful, and started stuffing her face again. Brendan's mom was watching Lisia "Wow, for someone with a beautiful body, they sure eat a lot!" Caroline stated. Lisia stopped and blushed and started eating slower. Brendan laughed as he got a glare from the turquoise-haired girl.
After they were finished eating, Lisia was going to go get her Pokemon from Professor Birch's lab. She still was a bit bruised, but she looked better after getting cleaned up. She was about walk out of the door when she heard "Wait for me!" Brendan ran down the stairs and caught up with her. She looked at him with a funny face. "I'm coming with you to see you get your first Pokemon." He said. She smiled "Alright let's go!".
They walked into the Laboratory, it was way more active inside now that it was a weekday. Lisia and Brendan walked over towards the reception desk, there was a lady in a lab coat sitting behind it "Hello, welcome to Littleroot Laboratory! How may I help?" She asked. "I'm here to get a new Pokemon!" Lisia answered. The lady smiled and pushed a button on her desk "The Professor will be here in a moment." The Lady announced. They waited a few minutes in the waiting area when Brendan saw an all too familiar heavyset guy run towards them. "Brendan my boy!" He yelled, shocking both him and Lisia. "So! Is this girl here to get a Pokemon?" The professor asked. "Yes I am!" Lisia answered. Birch smiled "Great! Follow me." He said.
They followed the man through the front to back of the lab, there were about twenty men and women in lab coats either at computers or water tanks built into the walls, or in massive cages for birds. They were writing things down on a clipboard. After they got to the back of the laboratory, they reached two doors. The door on the right said "Prof. E Birch" (A/N I chose Eugene as his first name. Don't know why, just fit his description), the door on the left said "Asst. M Birch". Brendan saw this "Let me guess the door on the right is May's office?" He exclaimed. The Professor nodded. "I didn't see much before in here because it was dark, or I would've asked sooner." Brendan added. He thought about how lucky May was being that she had her own office to work in.
Professor Birch opened the door to his office and allowed the two in. Brendan thought this was very familiar to when he got his Pokemon. Birch walked over to his desk and sat down. He motioned for the two to sit at the opposite end of the desk. He reached in a drawer under his desk and pulled out a form the same exact form that Brendan filled out. The Professor asked her to fill this out while he got up and opened the door. "Be right back, gotta go get everything!" He exclaimed as he left the room.
Lisia grabbed a pen from a cup on the desk, and began writing her information down. Brendan watched her. Hating the silence he started talking "So have you decided what Pokemon you're going to choose?" He questioned. She stopped writing as she lifted her head up thinking "Actually I haven't, I think Torchic and Treecko are cute." She answered. He looked at her "Well, my Treecko and I kinda chose each other. Just go with what your heart tells you!" He stated. She looked back at him and smiled. She blushed a little before going back to writing. Like Birthdate, age, name, etc, she was 15 years old. She finished writing her information down.
The Professor walked back in "Alright! Here we are everything a new trainer needs!" He blurted. He set down a case with 3 pokeballs, 3 different colored Pokedexes, and 10 extra pokeballs. He grabbed the 3 pokeballs from inside the glass container, and released three Pokemon. A Treecko, a Torchic, and a Mudkip. Lisia was troubled, she couldn't decide. She kinda wanted Torchic, it was very cute. She stared at Torchic until the Torchic turned its head away from her snobily. She laughed at Torchic and thought nope. She looked at Treecko, it looked very relaxed and content as she stared at it. It then reached behind its back and took out a twig at started chewing on it as it jumped on top of the computer on the desk.
She thought she would look at Mudkip. She looked in its eyes and immediately fell in love. Mudkip jumped up into her arms and nuzzled her she hugged it back. Professor Birch smiled "I guess that's that!" He blurted. Lisia was giggling with the Mudkip's fin tickling her neck. Brendan smiled at the situation.
Professor Birch picked up the Blue Pokedex and set it in front of his computer and started typing in his computer while setting it up. (A/N the Pokedex is supposed to look like an iPad Mini with an extremely protective case either it Blue, Red or Green.) "You get a Blue Pokedex since you chose Mudkip!" He said. Lisia wondered how many times he has said that sentence everyday. After a few minutes, the Professor set the Pokedex in front of Lisia "There you go." He exclaimed. He then gave her ten empty pokeballs. "Thank you sir! I will take good care of Mudkip!" She squealed excitedly.
Everybody got up and left the room.
Brendan started walking back towards his house to tell his mom he was leaving, when somebody from behind yelled at him "HEEEEY!" He turned around and saw Lisia running toward him. "WAIT FOR MEEEE!" She yelled. He stopped and watched as she caught up to him. "You don't think you can get rid of me that easy do you?" She smirked. Brendan gave her a confused look, "I'm coming with you on your journey!" She answered his look. He continued to look at her before he got an idea "No." He stated sternly. The look on her face was so broken, he couldn't help but break out laughing tears. He kept laughing when his said "Yes you can come along!". She yiped as she embraced him in a deep hug.
Brendan was shocked at this, he embraced her back. This lasted a few minutes before they un-embraced each other, then Lisia punched Brendan in the shoulder. "Owww!" He cried as he rubbed his wound. "That's for nearly breaking my heart!" She retorted. Brendan looked at her funny. She nervously laughed "err, well. Um I mean. Uhh." She stumbled. He smiled as he just started walking again. He heard her give out a sigh of relief before she started following him.
As they were walking, Brendan started thinking about something "Lisia?" He asked. "Yes?" She answered. "What is it you want to do? Like what is your dream?" He questioned. She smiled at him "I want to become a Pokemon Contest Star!" She answered excitedly, Brendan nodded. "You?" She added. Brendan breathed in a deep breath with his nose before resting his hands behind his head. "I want to become a Pokemon Master." He exclaimed. Being that there was nothing really to talk about, Brendan didn't want to have awkward silence. He started again "What city are you from? I'm from Goldenrod City in Johto." He exclaimed. She smiled "Johto huh? Nice! I'm from Sootopolis City here in Hoenn." She replied. They actually found things to talk about along the way to Brendan's house.
They soon came upon Brendan's house as Brendan opened the door. "Mom!" He called. He saw his mother walk from down from upstairs, "Hey honey, what's up?" She asked. "We are leaving today, and came back to get ready." He answered. They walked inside and sat down. Caroline insisted on packing everything for them, she grabbed both Lisia and Brendan's satchels and started putting stuff in them. Including two changes of clothes, bathroom stuff, etc. She then grabbed another backpack for other supplies, and started packing things into it such as a cooking pot, packages of dried soup, a thermos, and a small fold up camping tent.
Back to Brendan's bag, Caroline packed two changes of clothes that are the same as he has on, a striped black and orange sports-shirt, black stretchy shorts, and his trademark white beanie. In Lisia's bag, Caroline packed two pairs of blue-Jean short shorts, two blue tank tops, and makeup, hair spray, etc. Where Caroline got all of this stuff, nobody knew. Caroline handed the bigger backpack to Brendan, along with his satchel. She handed Lisia's satchel to her. "Thank you." The two said.
Brendan went and gave his Mom a goodbye hug as they walked out of the door. They started walking towards Route 101.
About 5 hours later, Brendan and Lisia reached Oldale town. Brendan looked at his Pokedex, it said "5:30". "Do you want to go check in at the Pokemon Center?" Brendan asked. Lisia turned her head in Brendan's direction. "Yes, I'm tired." She replied.
They walked to the the Pokemon Center and inside. They went over to the reception desk and saw Nurse Joy. "One bedroom, two beds please." Brendan said. Nurse Joy gave him the key "Room 233 on the second floor". "Thanks." He said as him and Lisia walked down the hall, in the elevator, up to the second floor, down the hall to the room. Brendan unlocked the door and held the door for Lisia before walking in "Well aren't you a gentleman!" She exclaimed. He blushed "Well I, uh." He laughed nervously. She smirked.
They unloaded their stuff as Lisia decided to get cleaned up. Brendan turned on the TV and flicked through the channels. Deciding nothing good was on, an idea came to his head.
After the two took their turns in the shower, Brendan grabbed his wallet from his bag "I want a real dinner, Pokemon Center food isn't satisfactory." He said. "How about we go out to one of the good places here before we have to eat pre-dried soup tomorrow?" He questioned. She looked at him "Yes please!" She exclaimed.
They left the Pokemon Center. Oldale Town was not very big, but it had lots of shops, cafes, and restaurants. They walked into a place called "Restaurant Oldale" it was a nice wooden cabin, and it had many tables in it with lights over them, many people filled the tables. It was safe to say it was old fashioned. The two waited to be seated, because there was a sign that said "Please wait to be seated". Eventually, a waitress walked over to the two. "Why hello! Welcome to Restaurant Oldale!" She exclaimed. She gave a look at Brendan and winked at him. This didn't go unnoticed by Lisia, she frowned at this.
Brendan was shocked at this, he felt a little bit guilty. He didn't know why. He brushed it off, and took a look at Lisia, she did not look like she was in the best mood. "Are you alright?" He asked. She shivered "Y-Yes". The waitress led them over to a table with two chairs, here you are! Good luck with your date you two!" She exclaimed again before she dragged her hand slowly as she snapped her jaw at him. He stepped back from her as he gave her a sharp look. It chased her away. "Ugh, why me." He sighed.
They sat down and waited. Lisia was staring down at the table. Brendan was wondering why she was acting this way, was it because of the waitress? If so that must mean... He got up, "Excuse me." He said. Lisia looked up. Brendan stumbled his way over to the bathroom. Once he got inside he went over to the sink, turned on the tap, and washed his face. He dried himself with a towel and looked at himself in the mirror.
Lisia was at the table, wondering what just happened. Why did she have to act that way, the girl was just flirting with Brendan, why was she...jealous? Her eyes widened at what she was thinking. Did she like him? After a few seconds, the waitress came back over. "Well now, where'd your little boyfriend go?" She teased. Lisia felt overwhelmed, she felt as if her mind would explode. Confusion about Brendan, anger at the waitress, concern about Brendan leaving. It was too much. She got up and ran outside, and back to the Pokemon Center.
Brendan walked out of the bathroom, and walked over to the table. He noticed Lisia wasn't there, he sat down at his seat. The waitress came over to him, "Oh hey there! Your Girlfriend had a freak out and ran outside. She prolly wasn't that good anyway." She exclaimed Brendan had an anger flash. "We are not dating in any way shape or form. Also you need to shut your mouth before you ruin someone's else's relationship!" He yelled. Everybody in the room was watching the incident. "Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go catch up with my friend!"
He stormed out of the restaurant. There was pure silence in the room.
He ran back to the Pokemon Center and up into the room. He saw Lisia sitting on her bed with her head in her hands as it looked like she was crying. Brendan's heart sank when he saw this. "Lisia. Are you alright?" He asked in a soft tone. Lisia removed her hands from her face before she looked up at him. She sniffled and started crying again, Brendan ran over and sat next to her on the bed, as he embraced her. "What did that broad do to you?" He questioned. She kept crying as she tried to utter words out "She *niff* didn't do anything. *niff*" she uttered.
He looked confused, "What happened?" He asked. She stopped sniffling and looked at him. They stared at each other for a few seconds. Before she reached her head up and kissed him. On the lips.
Brendan felt so many Butterfree's and Beautifly's in his stomach when this happened. He kissed her back. Their tongues swirled in each other's mouths she reached up and set her hand on his shoulder. All of Lisia's worries faded as she knew this felt right, their kiss lasted another minute or two. They finally broke apart as they stared at each other for some time. Lisia finally spoke "That is why, the waitress just activated it." She said before she pecked him on the lips again.
"I love you." She said.
"I love you, too" Brendan answered.
Please tell me how I am doing here, I'd love to hear your opinions.
