Yay, it's chapter four. I still have no reviews to answer though. TT-TT

But on a happier note, this is biggest pokemon story I have ever written so far. I'm happy! :3

Disclaimer: I don't own pokemon in any way, only my favorite pervy growlithe and a few of those other characters

"Why does it have to be so damn hot?" I muttered, rubbing some sweat from my forehead. Hanna looked at me, quite stunned by my swear.

Hanna got over it and shrugged. "Foxx and Erikku don't seem to mind." Erikku was trying to show off in front of Foxx as if it would help but the little vulpix just ignored him. Plus and Minus were both slumped over in the heat, Hanna had tried to return them to their balls but they wanted to stay out and practice with each other.

It was late afternoon, tomorrow would be my first gym battle and I was so excited. I had done some research after my haircut and it said that she was a dark trainer so my fire pokémon wouldn't either be super effective or weak so it would be somewhat fair.

I brushed my short hair out of my face and bent down to stroke Foxx who had made her way over to her, obviously trying to get away from Erikku. "Should we head in for the night?" I asked, returning Foxx to her pokeball, it was the only safe place for her from Erikku.

Hanna nodded, returning Plus and Minus to their pokeballs. We walked out of the training field, both of us sweaty and exhausted. We had had another mock battle to practice for my gym battle.

After a few minutes, we reached the pokémon center. As I swung open the doors and I felt myself brush up against some fabric, I turned to see someone staring down at me. He was tall, really tall. "Watch it." He snarled, shaking his brown hair, cold gray eyes locked onto me.

"S…Sorry." I muttered, following Hanna the rest of the way inside, tucking my hands into my pockets, embarrassed.

Hanna looked over her shoulder, looking confused. "Who was that?" She asked, raising an eyebrow. I shrugged, how was I supposed to know? "He looked mean; I wouldn't want to run into him."

I made my way up to the counter and placed Erikku and Foxx's balls on the table and Hanna placed Plus and Minus's along with them. Nurse Joy took them and disappeared into the other room. I plopped down onto one of the couches that sat in the waiting room, at least it was air conditioned in here.

"Hey, are you two trainers?" Someone asked. I looked around to see two girls, a blonde and a brunette looking at us.

I shook my head. "I'm a trainer but she's a coordinator." I shrugged, still looking at them.

"Good, because I am looking for someone to battle with, would you be willing to battle me?" The blonde asked, unclipping one of her pokeballs. No matter how much I wanted to battle, I knew that my pokémon were tired and didn't need any more battling today.

I shook my head. "Sorry, my pokémon are done for today and I have my gym match tomorrow." I explained sadly. "Anyways, my pokémon are with Nurse Joy right now." The blonde looked disappointed and the brunette laughed at her friend's rashness.



The brunette smiled as the blonde drifted away sadly. "Sorry about my friend, Jakii, she can be a bit rash when she wants a battle. She just beat the gym leader over at the Moonpoint Gym and has gotten cocky. I'm Orivia by the way." She explained, turning around to watch her friend retreat to a dark corner and go into a dejected position (1). She snickered at her friend's idiotic ways.

Nurse Joy walked over with a tray with our pokeballs in it. "Here you go." She said, handing us the pokeballs. I smiled and took Erikku and Foxx's balls and Hanna took the remaining two.

Orivia's eyes lit up at the sight of our pokeballs. "If you don't mind me asking, what kinds of pokémon do you have? I am training to be a breeder and I want to learn about as many pokémon as I can!"

Hanna smiled, happy to show off her pokémon. "I have a plusle and a minun, they are great but maybe tomorrow I can show them to you because they are tired." Hanna said apologetically, tucking her pokeballs away.

"I have a perverted Growlithe and a vulpix." I muttered, clipping my pokeballs to my bag. Orivia giggled at my comment about Erikku and Jakii was also laughing for she had recovered because no one was really paying any attention anyways.

"Yeah, maybe we can see them tomorrow, before you go to face the gym leader." Jakii suggested, they both seemed really interested in our pokémon but I couldn't blame them.

I stood slowly and stretched, I wanted to get some sleep before tomorrow.

I tossed in my bed, my eyes half closed. I could feel Foxx twitching at my feet and Erikku was snoring like a hand saw in the corner of the room. I slipped my legs out from under the little vulpix and climbed down from my bunk and slipped out onto the balcony where I could see the stars which calmed me. A cool wind whipped around and made my short hair fly up. I heard the clicking of nails on the stone floor and a bundle of fur brush up against me.

I sat down to stroke Erikku's fur, his amber eyes gazed at me carefully and concerned. I laughed and stroked him lightly. "Thanks for the concern buddy but I will be fine. I'm just a bit nervous for tomorrow; it's nothing to get worried over." I muttered, he whined and licked me in the hand.

I stood and slowly and walked back into the room, Erikku following behind me slowly. He curled back into his corner and almost automatically started snoring. I climbed back into my bunk making Foxx raise her head a bit to look at me but then curled right back up. There was nothing to worry about, Foxx and Erikku would do just fine as long as I stayed calm, which I hoped I could do.

Only time would tell.

1. If you can tell me what that's from, I will give you a cookie and a chance for an OC to make an appearance if you want. I don't have enough characters to keep the plot moving and it would help.

This chapter was fun because I got to introduce, not two but three new characters. Yes, the boy Teiraa bumped into plays one of the biggest parts besides the four girls, but you will just have to wait to find out who he is. x3 But it was short so expect to next chapter to be slightly larger. -evillaugh-
