Disclaimer: I do not claim any of the Pokemon characters used in this chapter–not even the one taken by surprise–because they are all property of Satoshi Tajiri and I haven't stolen the rights from him yet. I bet he has people try that all the time, actually; probably has to have bodyguards and stuff.
Surprise
Suddenly, the abra was gone, and he blinked as the fox teleported in front of him, sitting Indian-style in the air. Bewildered, he called, "Aria, what're you doing?" She surprises me every time I think I understand her.
The reason for her sudden departure became apparent when nearby grass rustled, and he placed a hand on his belt before it dropped to his side in awe at what stepped out. "Raikou," he whispered, eyes wide as the beast stared him down.
It huffed softly before it bounded off, leaving a very surprised trainer and his protective pokemon to their journey.
Lots of dragon-y love,
