It's A Beautifly Isn't It?
Neku, Shiki and Beat are still on the route 102. They were disappointed when all of their food had been stolen by a group of Taillow. On the way, the three of them feel tired because of the hunger, so they decided to take a break. "I'm hungry.." Beat said as he gives a long sigh.
"We are too.. Beat.." Neku said as he sighed as well.
"Can we look for some food around here?" Shiki asked.
"I don't know. I think we should hold our hunger first. I feel we're not too far with Petalburg City anymore."
Beat looked at him. "Are you sure, Phones?"
"Yeah." He nodded. "Rest for a while, then we will keep going."
Beat and Shiki nodded.
Took 15 minutes for them to take a rest. Once rested, they keep walking again till have found a city in front of them. They immediately ran into that city.
"Finally, we already here!" Shiki said as she stretches her hand.
"Yo, is there a restaurant here? Wait, is there a curry too here? I need a curry from this town." Beat said, looking around for a restaurant.
Neku laughed. "Still need a curry even we're here?"
"Of course, man. Curry is life. I can eat 3 bowls of the curry everyday of each day, morning, afternoon and night. For me, no curry no life."
"... Isn't that will make your stomach ache?"
"No. I'm already getting used to it."
"You're weird." Neku sighed. "Well then, let's find the restaurant."
Before they go looking for a restaurant, Shiki had seen someone she knew was sitting on the edge of the fountain. Someone she regarded as her best friend, Eri, a girl who always wearing sexy clothes, boots and hat. She immediately approached her. Beat and Neku confused when seeing Shiki ran towards the fountain. They decided to follow her.
"Eri!" Shiki called her when she was close to where her best friend was sitting.
The girl turned toward Shiki and her eyes widen, startled because she couldn't believe that she could meet her best friend here. "Shiki!" Eri replied, answering her. They both hugged each other after meeting.
"I can't believe we can meet here."
"Yeah. Me too." Eri smiled.
"So, how are you?"
"I'm fine. How about you? Are you still carrying Mr. Mew? And with whom you come here?" Eri questioned.
"I'm fine too, and yes." Shiki smiled, take out Mr. Mew from her bag. "I'll always take him wherever I go. Oh yes, I came here together with Neku and Beat." She answered
From afar, Neku and Beat have seen Shiki was sitting on the edge of the fountain and was talking to a girl.
"Who's that?" Beat asked.
"I don't know. Maybe that was her friend."
While looking around, finally Shiki has seen Neku and Beat from afar, and waved to them. After they approached her, they startled when seeing Eri was there.
"Wow, Eri. So you also do a journey too?" Beat asked.
"Yup." Eri nodded. "I just got here."
"So, you're more ahead of us, huh? How many Pokemon you already have? Neku asked.
"Only one. I don't know what kind of Pokemon I should catch." She sighed.
"It's okay, Eri. I'll help you to find and catch the Pokemon you want." Beat said, trying to cheer her up. "Let's go to Route 102 now to catch-" Suddenly his stomach is groaning, his face instantly turned red. "S-Sorry.. I-I forgot that I feel hungry.." He rubbed the back of his head, turned to the other way to hide his embarrassment.
Eri giggled, seeing Beat's face flushed. "You're so funny, Beat."
"Oh, yes. I forgot I also feel hungry. I'm too excited to meet you here till I forgot about my hunger." Shiki said.
"... Is there a restaurant here?" Neku asked, holding his stomach.
Eri nodded. "Yes. I also want to get there, let's go together."
Neku, Shiki and Beat nodded.
Four of them went to the restaurant and ordered some food for them and for their Pokemon. While waiting, they send out their Pokemon.
"Well, what's the name of your Pokemon, Eri?" Shiki asked while looking at the Pokemon that looks like a dragon and have a fire tail.
"Oh, his name is Charmander. He is my first Pokemon." Eri replied, petting her Charmander head.
"Very cool." Neku amazed to her Pokemon.
"Where did you get it Eri? Does Prof. Birch is the one who gives you?" Beat asked curiously.
"Nope. I have found him alone in Littleroot harbor since I have arrived in Hoenn. I saw him sitting alone, holding his Pokeball. I felt sorry for him, so I approached him. When I approached him, he looked at me and approached me too. At first I was scared, but once I saw his eyes, he almost cried. I crouched down petting his head. Then he hands over his Pokeball to me and asked me to put him in. From there, me and Charmander becoming friends and he becomes my first Pokemon."
"Wow.. I can imagine the loneliness he feels.." Shiki petting Charmander head and he really loves it.
"Must be his trainer abandoned him.." Neku said.
"Dammit. We must give him a lesson if we meet him." Beat groaned, feeling angry after hearing the story about Charmander being abandoned by his previous trainer. He looked at Charmander and hold him. "Don't worry, Charmander. From now on, we are your friends." Beat petting his head. "We won't leave you alone anymore."
Charmander smiled and hugged Beat. The others also smiled when seeing Charmander so happy. Not long after, the food they have ordered have come and ready to be served. Then they eat together. After eating, Eri went to pay, then they gathered again near the fountain.
"So, Eri. Let's enjoy the journey together." Shiki said, invited her to join them.
"Sure. I feel happy if we all could go together." Eri smiled.
"Looks like someone feel happy now after Eri joined with us." Neku looked at Beat
Shiki and Eri giggled.
Beat gave them a confused look, when he saw them both giggled. He realized that Neku is looking at him. "Why are you looking at me?"
"Feeling good after Eri join with us, Daisukenojo?" Neku calls him by his real name mockingly.
"H-Hey! Don't call me that!" Beat face flushed.
"So, are you happy?"
Beat looked at the other way to hide his embarrassment. "Y-Yeah.."
Eri smiled and felt happy. "Thank you, Beat."
Beat looked at her, his face was slightly flushed. "N-No problem."
By the time they want to return their Pokemon back into their Pokeballs, Shiki's Silcoon is glowing again like her Wurmple wants to evolve before. And it turns out, her Silcoon has evolved into Beautifly. In this way, between four of them, Shiki is the strongest. Seeing her Pokemon already evolved two times, Neku and Beat even Eri didn't want to lose against Shiki. They decided to get stronger too.
