Chibi- Hello guys, sorry I've been a bit slow, School's in session righ now, and between AP Lang, Ap Music Theory, and Honors Chem, I've got a decent ammount of homework. Oh, and I cant forget the fencing practices I have twice a week, with the once a month tournament that eats those days.
Maya- You mean you're being lazy?
Chibi- That too Maya. Anyways, I figured I would finish this, since this is the second snow day we've had in a row (its just ice now though, and I dont want to go sledding with the younger kids, so I get to stay inside). The sad thing is I actually miss school.
Maya- You mean you miss your friends, band, and getting hugs.
Chibi- Exactly Maya, now let's get on with the story, which on my word document the entire thing is currently over 10,000 words.
Maya- That's exelent, let's hope that your stuff is actually right and makes sense. Now N, disclamer please.
N- Chibi-Bandit does not own anything in this story, except Maya and her crazy nick names for Maya's pokemon.
Chapter 4-
"N!" I ran after him, but it was getting harder because the trees were becoming closer and closer. I heard rushing water, and I saw a river in the middle of the forest. I called out Flygon for some help.
"Flygon can you fly me over this river?" she nodded, and I climbed onto her back. She took off, and swerved towards a rustling bush.
"Oh hi there." A teenage boy riding a Suicune popped out of the bushes.
"Hello, would you happened to have seen a boy with long green hair pass by here?" I asked him, and he grinned and nodded.
"If you want to know where he went, you'll have to beat me first." I sighed, regretting giving Sparkler and Sayaka to Danial without getting Leaf and Lute first.
"Look, I would, but I don't have a full team right now, I'm down two Pokémon." She grinned.
"Then we can have a double battle with the two guys in the Pokémon Center as our teammates." I returned Flygon as she led me to the Pokémon Center. When we entered, I heard two familiar voices arguing.
"Danial, Rikon, why are you arguing?" I asked the two with a sigh.
"He refuses to accept my challenge." Rikon explained calmly.
"Okay then, Danial, I challenge you to a tag battle." I smiled confidently, knowing he wouldn't refuse my challenge.
"Fine, oh and Silver dropped off Leaf and Lute for you." He pointed to the two pokeballs, and I easily strapped them onto my belt.
"Rikon, I guess you're with me." I called to my friend. He grinned and we walked outside to wait for our opponents. I sent out Caffeine and he sent out his Wartortle. When the boy and Danial walked out, they had their Pokémon out. Nyal with his Futachimaru and Danial, Janovy, which caused me to giggle.
"Janovy, use Leaf Blade!" I traded glances with Rikon before giving commands to my Leafeon.
"Caffeine, go, X-Scissor!" she purred before intercepting Janovy, easily deflecting his blow and dealing a bunch of damage in the process.
"Wartortle, finish with Ice Beam!" Caffeine vanished as she dodged, leaving Janovy stunned as the frosty laser hit, knocking him out.
"Miji, Night Slash!" the otter charged at Caffeine.
"Caffeine, Leaf Blade, ant-lion style!" she purred, and stood ready. When the Futachimaru got close enough, she vanished, reappearing behind the water type, slashing with her Leaf Blade, easily one hitting Miji.
"Suicune, go!" I grinned when he sent out the water type.
"Go Repardas!" the dark type cat appeared in front of Danial.
"Caffeine, en guard." My Leafeon stood fearlessly against the larger two Pokémon.
"Repardas, use Fury Swipes on Wartortle!" it seemed that he remembered Caffeine's ant lion tactics.
"Wartortle, Iron Defense." The turtle pulled back into his shell and braced for the strikes.
"Caffeine, go." She jumped into action easily slashing Repardas , who was occupied batting Rikon's Wartortle with an X-Scissor.
"Wartortle, finish with Hydro Pump!" the water type obliged, and the strong water attack caused Repardas to faint.
"Suicune, use Ice Beam." Caffeine barely managed to jump and dodge.
"Caffeine, go." She ran at Suicune, glowing green as she used Leaf Blade.
"Suicune, Boiling Water!" I cringed when the attack nicked Caffeine, and dealt quite a bit of damage. Luckily, she managed to complete her attack, and she dealt a massive amount of damage to the legendary.
"Go Abagoura!" I saw the turtle appear and cringed.
"Caffeine, pull back, Synthesis." Caffeine jumped back and faintly glowed green as she absorbed sunlight.
"Suicune, now, Ice Beam!" I cringed as Suicune prepared for the attack against Caffeine.
"Wartortle, use Ice Beam as well." I smiled when Rikon helped me out.
"Abagoura, use Aqua Jet." The turtle charged at Wartortle.
"Caffeine, time to return the favor. Leaf Blade!" she purred and slashed through Abagoura's Aqua Jet, scoring a critical hit and knocking it out.
"Now Wartortle, Skull Bash against Suicune!" the turtle charged at Suicune, and delivered the final blow.
"Go Erafuun!" I was captivated by Danial's cottony grass type.
"Ozu, go!" I looked at Rikon to see if he knew what the small Pokémon was.
"It's a Monozu, so it's dark and dragon type. Let me handle it, you focus on Erafuun." Rikon answered my unspoken question.
"Caffeine, you heard him, X-Scissor!" Caffeine charged at the cottony grass type.
"Ozu, interrupt with Fire Fang!" the small dragon type's maw was cloaked in flames as she charged at Caffeine.
"Caffeine, dodge!" Caffeine vanished, reappearing behind Erafuun as she landed her attack.
"Wartortle, Ice Beam!" Wartortle easily hit the stunned dragon, who was frozen by the attack.
"Erafuun, use Gust!" the flying type attack stunned Caffeine and me, and whipped Caffeine up into the air. Luckily, Rikon and Wartortle came to our aid.
"Wartortle, use Ice Beam on Erafuun!" the fairy-like grass Pokémon stopped his attack and tried to dodge the ice attack, but Wartortle was too fast.
"Now Caffeine, X-Scissor on the frozen-thing!" Caffeine landed in a crouch and charged at the small frozen dragon. She slashed through the ice and the dragon fainted. I noticed that Caffeine was starting to tire, so I called her back.
"Go Pidgeotto." I was sort of surprised when Danial sent out the flying type, but I quickly remembered he had briefly trained in Johto, where Pidgy were fairly common.
"Go Lavvi!" I recognized the Quilava instantly. I pulled out Flygon's ball, hoping that she could handle a Pidgeotto better than Caffeine could.
"Flygon, time to shine!" she appeared amidst her sparkles.
"Flygon, Dragon Claw!" my Flygon darted forward at Danial's Pidgeotto, nailing a strong attack with her claws.
"Lavvi, Wild Charge!" I saw the Quilava cloaked in electricity charging at Wartortle.
"Flygon, intercept with Aerial Ace!" She understood and flew strait at the Quilava, easily making it so she was in between him and Wartortle. "Deflect with Iron Tail!" I knew the hit wouldn't do much damage to Quilava, but it was successful at stopping his attack.
"Now Wartortle, Hydro Pump!" Flygon zipped around Wartortle so she wouldn't get hit as the water type launched the attack against the fire type, who fainted.
"Go Ari!" I remembered this Pokémon, which was an Archeos, from my fight with N.
"Pidgeotto, get high enough that Wartortle can't hit you!" The flying type shot into the air.
"Ari, you do the same!" , and I glanced at Rikon.
"Wartortle, get on Flygon's back." Flygon landed so the water type could climb onto her back.
"Now Flygon, get in range." She buzzed happily before taking off at a speed that wouldn't shake off her passenger.
"Wartortle, Ice Beam!" the water type launched the attack, and he manage to hit the Pidgeotto, and cause the bird to faint. Danial returned his Pokémon before he hit the ground. Without needing to be told, the water type fired another Ice Beam at the Archeos. The attack dealt massive damage.
"Archeos, Dragon Claw!" I could tell that she was going to attempt to one hit my Flygon.
"Flygon, Aerial Ace!" She looked at me confused before catching on to my plan. She flew up and over the flying type without shaking Wartortle off.
"Now Wartortle, use Hydro Pump!" the water attack hit and finished off the flying type. Flygon easily descended and landed gracefully, allowing Wartortle to jump onto the ground.
"Go Chi!" I recognized the Pokémon as a Churine, a common Pokémon in the area.
"Go Cyndaquil!" it seemed that everyone had an evolution of Cyndaquil now a days.
"Wartortle, use Hydro Pump." The attack knocked the weak Cyndaquil out in one hit.
"Flygon use Aerial Ace." I had gotten bored by the battle, and I wanted to find N soon, so I had her swiftly end the match.
"Wow, you guys are good." The girl said.
"Thank you, oh, I don't believe that we introduced ourselves. I'm Maya, and you are?" I asked politely.
"I'm Nyal. Now, let's go find that person you were looking for." I grinned.
"Oh, let me heal your Pokémon first. It's not safe to have them all out." I handed him a bunch of items and helped get all of him Pokémon back to full health. I did the same for Danial.
"Okay, follow me." I followed Nyal as he lead me through the forest.
"Mind if we tag along?" I froze at the sound of Danial's voice.
"Don't creep up like that. Feel free to come along though." I glanced back and saw him and Rikon following us.
"Up ahead, just past the trees." I looked where Nyal was pointing, and saw N standing with his Zoroark. He looked dejected, but when I saw Sky, I decided not to go get him just yet.
"You! Asian trucker dude, what are you doing here?" I heard Sky say. I motioned for everyone to stay back, so I could see what would happen. They apparently took that as their cue to leave.
"Hmm aren't you Miss Sky? Anyways, I can assure you I am neither Asian nor a trucker." I smiled at N's response. Polite as always. I saw him glance in my direction, but he didn't seem to notice me yet, that or he didn't care.
"Could have fooled me, I mean, that is such a trucker hat." I rolled my eyes at the remark about N's hat. What made it seem any more trucker-like than Black's hat.
"I can assure you Miss Sky, my hat is not a trucker hat, rather it is merely a hat, much similar to Black and Miss White's hats. Speaking of Black, where is he. I would have thought that the two of you would have been together." N seemed to have hit a nerve.
"I got lost. I don't exactly know my way around these parts." I rolled my eyes. Even I knew my way around the forest, but I guess that was only because I grew up around here.
"Would you like me to help you find Black Miss Sky?" N offered politely.
"No thanks, I think I can manage. Dark's helping me find Black again." N shrugged as she ran off following her Houndoom.
"Miss Maya, you can come out now. I know you're there." I gasped.
"How did you know?" I stepped out of the bushes, and I noticed that my friends had crept away while I had been watching the exchange.
"I heard people leaving, but noticed you were still there. What do you want Miss Maya?" I cringed when he used the formalities with me.
"N, please come back. I don't want to travel by myself." I reached out and grabbed his wrist when he tried to leave.
"But Miss Maya, don't you hate me for what happened to your parents?" He was looking straight at the ground.
"No N, I never blamed you for that. Now please drop the formalities, and come back with me." N stepped back, and I released my grip on his wrist.
"How can you forgive what I did?" I smiled.
"No N, you didn't do anything that I need to forgive. That was your father, not you. My father ran away from my mom, but no one blames me for that. You aren't you dad, so why should anyone blame you for what he did?" He turned around as if he was going to leave, and I sniffed, trying not to cry.
"Even so, I have that Reshiram that killed your parents." I started to cry as he started to walk away.
"Please N, please don't leave." I managed to say between sniffles and sobs.
"Miss Maya, are you crying?" N turned back and wiped a tear off my cheek.
"I'm crying because of you. I don't want you to go you idiot. I want you to travel with me around Unova. I don't care that you caught Reshiram, I don't care what happened was because of your dad. I became friends with you because you are a good person, nothing can change that. Now please stop calling me 'Miss Maya' it's creeping me out. Just call me Maya." I told him.
"Are you sure Maya?" N asked me softly. I nodded.
"Of course I'm sure N, I couldn't think of anyone I would want to travel with more. Besides, every knight needs a prince, or in this case, a king." He smiled.
"I'm not a prince or a king anymore you know." I just wiped my tears and grinned.
"To me you always will be one. And don't worry, not because of Team Plasma, but because you act like one." He looked at me with curiosity.
"How do I act like a prince or king?" He asked.
"Well, you're gentle with your Pokémon, like any good leader should be, and you always speak formally. Especially with girls. When you walk and battle, and just about everything else too, you have a certain air of elegance about you. Do I need to go on?" He shook his head.
"No Maya, I get your point. Now if you want to start your adventure properly, let's go see Professor Juniper." I nodded, and called out Flygon.
"Flygon, can you fly us to Kanoko Town?" she nodded, and N and I got on her back. I felt my phone vibrate, so I pulled it out to see who was calling.
"Maya, did everything work out okay?" It was Rikon.
"Yep, I'm currently flying with N to Kanoko town." I heard muffled laughter in the background.
"Tell Danial that he better be stronger next time we have a fight." Rikon just sighed before relaying my message.
"Don't worry Maya, I will be." I heard him yell in the background.
"Well Rikon, I need to go now, hope to see you again soon, today was fun." I could tell we were nearing Kanoko Town.
"Of course Maya, we should set up some more battles in the future. Good luck with starting your journey. Later Maya." I smiled when he used later, as he seemed to have picked up that I didn't like saying good bye.
"Later Rikon." We both hung up at the same time.
"What happened with Rikon today?" N asked, and I could have sworn that I caught a hint of jealousy in his voice.
"We had a double battle against Danial, the kid you met, and a boy who I was asking where you were. Simple as that." I explained.
"Why?" I should have known that N would want to know why.
"Because the boy, Nyal challenged me to a double battle, and I know that Rikon is a really good trainer. He only used one Pokémon the entire battle, and he might have been able to sweep my entire team, had I challenged him." I explained.
"So he's that good of a trainer?" I just nodded.
"Yeah, I trained Sparkler so I would stand a chance." I looked up and saw Kanoko Town when I felt Flygon start to descend.
"Looks like we're here now, ready to go?" he nodded and we stepped off Flygon, and I returned her to her ball. Today marked the start of my journey around my home region, Unova.
Chibi- Sorry about that, my friend decided that she wanted to change her OC from a girl to a boy, so I had to go back and edit a few things here, that and I found out that I forgot to finish one of the lines.
