Chapter 7: Career Day!!! Case Of The Dancing Eevee!!!
"wake up master" someone insists shaking me.
I open my eyes and yawn. Riolu is sitting on my chest looking down at me.
"are you awake master?" he asks.
"have you ever wondered, if there is a reason that Pokemon don't talk" I chuckle.
Riolu squints his eyes at me. There are a few moments of silence.
"why are you waking me up?" I ask.
"class is going to start in a few minutes" he replies frantically.
I look at the digital alarm clock beside the bed.
"crap! It's 8:50! I got ten minutes!" I yell frantically.
"yeah and career day is today too" Riolu yells.
"no way!"
I jump off of my bed and Riolu soars across the room. He lands on his paws by the door. I grab my uniform clothes from my dresser and quickly put them on. I look on the top bunk and notice that Alex is gone. Why didn't he wake me up? Riolu notices that I am looking at the top bunk.
"he had to leave earlier for some reason" Riolu points out.
"hmm…ok then" I comment.
Riolu jumps onto my shoulder and I begin running for class, with 5 minutes left before the bell rings.
There is one minute left I see that the door is open. I jump and dive into the room. Riolu soars off of my shoulder onto a desk. I slide about 3 feet before coming to a complete stop. The bells goes off about a second later.
"nice" Casey comments giggling.
"oh shut up…please" I chuckle.
I push myself up with my arms. Ms. April walks to the whiteboard.
"okay! As soon as I tell you where your going. Leave immediately and be careful….okay! Casey and Charlie are to head towards the ranger station in Vien town!"
Casey and I quickly walk out of the room. Riolu jumps on my head as we pass him.
"so…you excited?" Casey asks.
"about what?"
"about going to the ranger station?…we might see those two rangers from a couple of months ago again"
"eh I'm mediocre" I yawn.
"mediocre? What is that supposed to mean?"
"I do care, but then I don't care because I am really tired" I reply yawning again.
"then maybe you should stop training with Riolu so late then" she comments.
"heck no! Me and Riolu would rather train than sleep! Isn't that right Riolu?!"
"that's right, Master!"
"how are you guys so full of energy? I thought you were tired?" she asks setting her fists on her hips.
I forcibly make myself yawn to avoid her glare and to allude her suspicion. Riolu falls on the ground dramatically.
"so tired! Ughhhhhh!" he yells.
I can't help but chuckle at his performance.
Casey growls "why are you laughing?"
I quickly stop laughing out of fear.
"I'm not" I reply, forcibly holding my chuckle back.
She glares at Riolu. He quickly sticks his tongue out of his mouth and plays like he's dead.
"you guys are weird" she comments growling as she walks on ahead.
An hour later we finally arrive at the Ranger Station. The building isn't that big. It's only one story too. As we walk closer to the doors they slide open electrically. Riolu is astonished by this, so much that he walks back outside, waits for the doors to close and walk back in to open them again.
"ooh magic!" he yells in excitement.
"you would think, because he came from a lab that he would know what a electric door is" Casey points out.
"I've been talking to him and he can't remember a thing about his past or where he came from" I inform her.
She looks down at the ground with a worried expression on her face. "sorry"
"oh think nothing of it. U didn't know" I chuckle.
She sighs "it must be hard, not knowing where you came from".
" It is…but me and master get through it day after day" Riolu explains laughing.
"hmm, you guys are quite a pair" she giggles.
Me and Riolu look at each other and chuckle.
"oh, hey guys!" Ranger Parker greets walking over.
Him and his uniform are looking as cool as ever.
"okay! I got a mission for ya'll, for your career days!" he yells acting to be excited.
"what?" Casey asks falling into his trap.
"there is a Pokemon that has stealing our lunches and before we can catch a glimpse of it, it dances away with our food.
"I sense another Pokemon here!" Riolu yells running back into the kitchen.
Riolu is running so fast that I lose him around the corner. I get around the corner and see Riolu growling at an Eevee pinned in a corner.
"so it was an Eevee!" parker yells frantically.
Riolu is now fiercely snarling at it. It looks terrified and it is froze up in fear, It won't move.
Casey runs out in front of Riolu, protecting Eevee.
"wait! She's just scared and hungry. Leave her alone" Casey yells frantically.
"Riolu, stand down"
"yes master"
Riolu stands up straight and stops snarling. Casey turns around and crouches down. She begins to move her hand closer to Eevee. Eevee ducks down, cautious of her. Casey pets Eevee's head.
"Eeee!" it barks in happiness.
It begins to jump up and down joyously. Casey begins to giggle. She finds some lettuce on a counter nearby and sets it on the floor in front of Eevee. Eevee quickly scoops it up with her tongue and begins to nibble on it. Eevee stands up on it's hind legs and begins spinning around. Casey giggles even harder.
"it's dancing!" she yells in excitement.
Ranger Nate walks into the kitchen.
"what I miss?, what I miss?!"
He looks at Eevee dancing.
"oh hey! looks like they found the Pokemon that was stealing your lunch Parker" Nate chuckles.
"yeah, they did…mission success guys" he comments briefly chuckling.
"okay guys! Let's show ya'll around. When ya'll graduate, you two will be stationed here" Ranger Nate informs us.
"wait…that means, there is a good chance that Alex won't be here with us" Casey points out.
I think about for a moment and she's right. Alex is going to be stationed somewhere else far away. That is probably, why he had to get up early for career day, today. Man, this kind of sucks. Man, I can't get too worked up about it.
"yeah, it might be that way" I reply.
I begin following Nate out of the kitchen and Casey follows after. I am soon startled by Ranger Parker's Chuckling.
"hey guys. Looks like Eevee wants to go with ya'll"
We turn around and Eevee jumps into Casey's arms.
"Eeee!"
"do you want to come with me?" Casey asks giggling.
"Eeee!" it barks in excitement.
"I'll take that as a yes" she giggles.
We all begin chuckling.
