Chapter 4: the appearance of Team Rocket

Glaceon:

I was shocked by the tone of voice Sylveon had shown and how seriously he looked straight at me. I walked away as Sylveon just sat there staring at me then decided to take a swim while I looked around for food. I noticed there were a few places that would be good like a store where pizza was being made fresh, an Italian stall where little pots of pasta could be bought and a nice little store where ice cream cones was told and made.

The ice cream store wasn't like other stores, this store had ice cream that had a unique flavour that everywhere else simply didn't have. I love the ice cream from there so I decided to go get some. I wondered if Sylveon was mad at me while I went round the back. The store owner was around the back; the store closed not that long ago, so when I walked to him he had only one left for the day. Feeling bad about what happened between me and Sylveon I decided to give the ice cream to him.

The store owner gave me the ice cream then I walked back to the sprout tower, where Sylveon was still swimming, and I couldn't help but feel that he is mad. Something told me he wasn't and I don't really care if he did. But deep inside something was telling me to be concerned about what he thought of me. When I arrived at the tower Sylveon wasn't anywhere to be seen and I started to worry more, which was unlike me, then started a search for him. Sylveon pounced on my back, giving me a heart attack, and hugging me. Sylveon giggled and said in a cheerful tone "I got you, looks like you are easy to scare" I couldn't believe he got me good but also I was generally concerned with no real reason to be. What was going on with me? Is there something wrong? Some many questions rolling inside my head but I decided to forget it and look at sylveon who was smiling.

Facing Sylveon I said to him "here" passing him the ice cream. I could tell he was surprised by the gift so Sylveon asked "what is this for?" I replied "well I wanted to make it up to you" he smiled and hugged me. I hugged back surprised and slightly blushed. Sylveon licked the ice cream and seemed to thoroughly enjoyed it. I was happy, which was really unlike me, and smiled thinking that I might enjoy being with this guy. I couldn't help but notice a few people walk by wearing black shirts, trousers and hat. They seemed to be heading back the way me and Sylveon had came from.

Before Sylveon could even react I quickly followed the guys back past Route 36 and 37. They headed east and it was difficult keeping up with them, Sylveon was having no trouble keeping up with me. We both stopped when we lost sight of them at the beginning of Route 42. It had 2 lakes between the two towns and a cave that connected them together allowing pokemon trainers to travel effectively. Sylveon smiled and said "we'll see them again. They're most likely to be at the next town by now.

I knew Sylveon was right but there was something that didn't make sense. They looked like they were in a really big hurry to get to somewhere. What could they be in a rush for? I really wanted to know. Sylveon ran to the first lake and stood there giggling. I walked to Sylveon who then said "use ice beam to make a path on the lake" I replied "don't tell me what to do" I did it anyway and walked across. He followed close behind. We made it half way through Route 42 and witnessed the same guy capturing pokemon through a different method. Like they were stealing the pokemon and catching them with nets and catcher poles.

Me and Sylveon couldn't believe what we were seeing. Even though Sylveon seemed to not be affected by this I could tell he was deeply saddened by it all. We had to do something but the question is what. Sylveon jumped in and swam to where they were. They went into the next town, it was called mahogany town, and it is located south of the lake of rage. We arrived at the new town and looked around. Sylveon went to the nearest food stall and got us both some chips to eat. I said to Sylveon "thank you" and ate some saving more for him. Sylveon ate some too but was clearly thinking about where the cruel guys had gone.

After we ate he sat and looked around seeing people come and go as they pleased. I noticed that there was something odd so I looked for the nearest building to climb up and look around. Sylveon was confused by my actions and looked up at me as I was on the roof of the pokemon center getting a clear view of the town and the lake of rage. I saw a bright red Gyarados and was surprised to see one of the guys standing there like he was going to capture the wild pokemon. The guy ran away from the Gyarados roaring loudly. He ran back into the town and into a nearby store.

Sylveon saw where the guy ran and got annoyed knowing that he wasn't too far away. I climbed down to him as fast as I could and help him, preventing him from running to the strange guy. Sylveon wasn't happy. He was wriggling as much as he could trying to get to that guy. He settled down when he saw a strange trainer wearing a white T-shirt, a blue skirt and had a bag on her side. This trainer had long blue hair and violet eyes. We both was interested in her because she seemed different from how the guys in black did. It was like we could see a bright soul, knowing her before even meeting her; she looked kind so we followed her who went into the same store as the strange guy.

Sylveon: O.O who are they? Who are they? Who are they? WHO ARE THEY!

Glaceon: -.- (hits Sylveon and drags him away)

Sylveon: . m-muffin?
