Chapter 7: Rin's Story
Rachel lumbered behind the bush soon after me and Gregor landed smoothly next to her. "Is everyone all right?" I asked, my voice strained.
"We're fine." Rachel answered for both of them.
"Thanks Rin," I told her, "We would never have gotten out of there without your help."
"You're very welcome." She said, her breathing almost back to normal. "Where would you like to go now?" She persisted.
"I think we should go back to Littleroot, we need to talk to the professor. But first, I think I speak for all of us when I say we want to hear the story of how you got to where you are now." I requested of her.
"Well then," she started, "you may want to take a seat, it's a long story." We all sat down expectant of her words. "When I was barely a month old, I was taken out of my den by these huge men coated in black. I didn't know what to do."
"I wriggled around in his grasp but he wouldn't let me go. Finally, he put me into a cage much like the one I found you three in. I waited there for about three days before one of the men came in and picked me up by the scruff of the neck to take me into another room. This one was much brighter and filled with ecstatic young people. They were all howling and jumping like a bunch of Poochyena, I could hardly stand it with my sensitive ears."
"I was set up on a stage with several other small Pokemon about my age: a Torchic, a Poochyena, and a Zigzagoon. We all huddled in one of the corners of the small pin. A man dressed in a suit picked us up one by one and gave us to one of the young people. I was given to a dark haired boy who seemed very kind. Towards the end of the meeting the person in the suit said we could not start training for three more months so that we would be ready."
"My new master took me to his room and allowed me to run around. He has changed a lot since then," she added with a sigh, then got back to the story, "He would let me run around outside with the other Pokemon, too. That's how I met Blacktail the Houndour and Fireburst the Torchic. We had a lot of fun in those days. After the three months were up, we were all put into a strenuous training program and didn't get to see each other often."
"I finally finished the training and got to go on missions with my master. We were together for five years before he started being mean and rude to me. I didn't know why either. I lived with that for about ten more years and then saw this as a perfect way to escape. He wasn't worth it anymore." She finished the story, and a grateful smile formed on her face.
"Wow." We said in unison. "I understand now." I said. "You will always be welcome with us, no matter what happens. Remember that." I promised soothingly.
"Thank you." She said, relief flashing on her face. "Now then, weren't we going to Littleroot?" She asked, back in good spirits.
We all perked up too. "Yeah! Let's go!" Gregor cried as he shot ahead. He circled quickly back. "Umm…which way is Littleroot?" He asked, embarrassed.
"I suppose you'll have to follow me." Rin said. She got up and raced ahead of all of us.
"Wait up!" I called after her.
"You're going to have to catch up." She taunted over her shoulder. I sprinted as fast as my Growlithe paws could carry me, which was pretty fast. I soon overtook her.
"Ha! You're going to have to do better than that!" I said joyfully. We continued like this the entire way to Littleroot. Rachel and Gregor kept their distance, too embarrassed to be anywhere close to us.
Soon enough, we reached Littleroot, having encountered no problems along the way. "Well that's a first." I said, skidding to a stop. "Do you mind helping us around town, I don't trust myself, after being captured and all." I grinned sheepishly.
"No, not at all." Rin said, walking ahead. My friends caught up and we followed her through town. We eventually arrived at a sparkling, white building. "This is the lab." She stated.
"Let's go in." I dared. I walked in first. All three of them flanked my sides. We walked up to one of the white coated assistants. He pointed us towards a doorway to the left. We began walking in that direction. A man in a gold lab coat greeted us. This was obviously the professor.
"Hello, my name is Professor Maple." He said to us. "What can I do for you?"
A/N: I hope everyone liked this chapter. Sorry if it was a little short. Next one will be longer. Keep those Pokemon pouring in. I have yet to decide whose will be Vaporeon's prophecy. Even if yours isn't the prophetical Pokemon, it will still be used in the story.
So tell me how you think of it. Opinions are greatly appreciated and I'll respond to any questions you give me. Chapter 8 will be here soon,
Pika!!
