9:38AM
A young brunette named Susan walked out of the shower dressed in only a small towel. Firstly Susan went to the bedroom door and locked it then she went to her cupboard filled with all her clothes from when she was four to now.
She took out and put on her new set of Pokemon training clothes, a blue tank top with black vertical lines, a green mini skirt at about half-thigh, white socks and a pair of green and red sport shoes.
After that she lay a bit of wax on her thumbs and index-finger and applied it to her green and blue strands of hair dropping over her right eye. When training a few years ago she always wore her white hat but decided not to wear it today.
Lastly is her white laptop bag with red stripes, her six Pokemon attached to her thigh and the new Poke Gear on her wrist.
She flipped opens her Poke Gear and dialled trying to call her friend Ethan. The phone rang a few times until someone finally picked up.
"Hey Sue." says Ethan a tired voice sounding as if he's just got up.
"Hey, I was wondering when we should start the training." answered Susan ignoring his state.
"Let's start at ten, ten. Does that sound good?"
"Yeah that's cool, so I'll see you at ten past then, bye."
"Seriously?"
"What?"
"You're just going to hang up without wanting to know the destination to train?"
Now Susan felt like an idiot. How could you go out without know where to go out? "Sorry. So where are we going to train then?"
"Let's try Mount Silver Cave."
"Wait, did you just say Mount Silver?" Susan asked loudly.
"Hey, your boyfriend got his Pokemon to train there and look how it turned out."
"Yeah but, I don't think we should jump that far now."
"Fine then, why not…Route 42?"
"That's fine with me."
"Okay so I'll see you at Route 42, ten past."
After she hung up Susan went into the cupboard trying to find a quick breakfast snack to pack. The cupboard was immaculate, everything organised, put into the correct places and right drawers. She decided to take a pack of choc-chip cookies, some random chips and lollies.
"What are you doing in the 'sweets' cupboard?" asked a voice from the stairs. It was a boy with black messy wearing a white T-shirt and red boxer shorts.
"I'm packing snacks." Susan answered simply.
"Why?"
Susan realised that she didn't tell him yet. "I asked Ethan if he could train my Pokemon and he said yes, so I'm going to Route 42 to go and train with him."
He nodded his head in response. "Seems legit."
After Susan packed the snacks into her back she gave her boyfriend a hug wrapping her arms around his head which he responded resting his hands on her waist. Soon after they started snogging but had to catch some air and then stopped. "I love you Edward."
"I love you too."
Susan walked out of her boyfriend's soft grasp on her waist and went to the door.
"You look good Sue." He commented.
"Thanks."
Johto, Route 42 – 10:09AM
Ethan waited for Susan to arrive while looking at the images he took on his old Poke Gear. He pondered through the photos a few years when he and Lyra went out on their first Pokemon adventure through Johto and Kanto. There were pictures of Johto's tourist attractions, their Pokemon and images of just him and Lyra.
Looking at these images makes him miss her so much more. She is so cute, even though she hasn't even made it into the Hall of Fame Lyra still carried on with her adventure with Ethan only two days into their journey in Kanto Lyra finally gave in and kissed Ethan for the first time.
It is 12 past 10 and Susan and hasn't shown up yet but this didn't annoy Ethan anyway because it was only two minutes.
But finally there was the sound an approaching Pokemon. A few seconds later there revealed an Aerodactyl being ridden by a teenage girl. "Hey." she greeted Ethan with a cute smile. "Am I late?" she asks jumping off her Aerodactyl.
"No just…" Ethan looks down to check his watch. "Two and a half minutes late." he answers looking back up and flicking his fringe away from his eyes.
"Okay. I thought that we'll be training together." says Susan noticing that Ethan wasn't wearing any clothes that are suited for Pokemon training; a black unzipped jacket showing a black T-shirt underneath, black jeans, dark purple shoes with gold laces, soles and writing that said 'MASTER'.
"We are, but I am a bit. It's mainly you, the reason why I didn't bother with the usual clothes."
The only thing about Ethan that was the same was the Ultra Ball snapback cap but even that wasn't the same as the other cap. "Are you Goth?" asks Susan looking at his fringe.
"A tiny bit, why do you ask?"
"Just that massive fringe that's all."
"Oh yeah, right," says Ethan awkwardly bringing it back on top of his eyebrow. "I know it's big. Don't you like?"
"No, of course I do, I even try to make my hair look nice too."
"Okay then."
"So how do we start?"
"Let's start with your Aerodactyl since it's already out."
"Okay."
"How long has it been since its last training session?" asked Ethan studying the pre-historic dinosaur.
"Umm…" Susan started the think real hard of her last training session but didn't seem to find the answer. "Well…my last battle was just a few weeks ago." says Susan unconvincingly.
"…right. Why were you let off the job?"
"Because I was too weak…apparently."
"How many battles did you lose?"
"Quite a few."
"Then we're gonna need some drugs."
Susan just stood there completely confused about what he meant. Were they going to do drugs or were their Pokemon?
Goldenrod Department Store, 4th Floor – 10:31AM
"Here are your Protein bottles," says an eighteen year old female shop keeper clerk wearing a pink dress with a white belt under her breasts. "That'll be…two, four, six, eight," she counted. "78 400."
Ethan went into his bag and took out a stack of cash and started counting the money and soon handed her the money with a seductive grin. Susan watched him carefully to see why he's such a cute and nice guy around other teen girls.
The teenage clerk started to count and finally stopped because the money she was given has gone over what was needed. "Here's your change." she says handing him the rest over.
Susan watched Ethan reaction to the girl's offer. His eyes slightly showed the tiniest – and I mean the tiniest – amount of shock. "You keep the change." he says smoothly.
"Thanks." the clerk smiled while chuckling, raising a hand to cover her mouth as Ethan noticed she had red braces. "Is there anything else you want?"
"No thanks, that'll be all."
"Okay." which sounded to Ethan and Susan more like a disappointing 'oh'.
Ethan turned his attention to Susan. "Let me just go get a drink."
"Don't worry, I'll come too."
"Okay."
The duo walked to a vending machine saying 'The Best Fizz Berry Drinks' located at the corner of the room. "Do you want anything?" he asked while inspecting the choices of berry juice drinks.
"Leppa Berry."
"Huh, never tried that before, I'll take Aspear Berry." Ethan inserted some money into the machine and then popped from the bottom slot two aluminium cans containing Leppa and Aspear Berry juice.
Ethan took his drink cracked it open and gave Susan hers. "Where the one-to-nine number code pad that's supposed to be on the vending machine?"
"Its voice activated." answered Ethan then taking a massive gulp of his juice.
"That's cool; I always thought Johto was behind in technology."
"Nope, their quite as up to date as Sinnoh." Ethan says shooting that same seductive glance he gave the teenage clerk at Susan – which she seemed to have 'fallen' for it – and then looking back at the machine.
"Don't do that." she simply says.
"Do what?"
"Don't give me that look. I know that look. That was the one you gave shopkeeper when you handed her the money."
"You know?"
"Yeah, of course I know, I know a lot of your tricks Ethan."
"Yeah but you like it, don't you?"
"Stop teasing me." Susan groans like a four year old.
"Now you know what it's like to be screwed with."
"Girls are way more sensitive than guys."
"Really?" asked Ethan with confidence.
"Yep, and I know you miss counted the money you gave her."
Ethan flinched, surprised on how Susan can spot very little difference.
"Didn't you?"
"Yeah I did, you win now."
"But I'll give you credit, that was pretty smooth, telling her to keep the change."
"Thanks. I had to anyway. Because if I did take the change I would looked like I can't count money and look like a jerk for not being nice to her."
"Where do you get these things from?"
Ethan took one more sip of his drink before answering. "I used to be a nerd."
Route 42 – 10:57AM
Susan sat on a rock while eating the chips she brought from and drinking her Leppa Berry juice while Ethan worked with her Aerodactyl. The Pokemon now has a boost of points on its Attack, Defence, Speed and HP stats.
"Alright," says Ethan sitting down next to her. "Let' break out the Poke Dex and see what's, what."
Susan opens her Poke Dex and scans her Aerodactyl. A few seconds later revealed the stats of her Pokemon.
"Looks like there's been a bit of a difference but what that does now is give your Pokemon a bit of an adrenaline pump."
"Cool." Susan simply commented.
"Yeah, how are your moves coming along?"
"They seem to be in okay shape."
Ethan fell silent staring into the pond of water near them.
"What?"
"Get you camera out."
"Why?"
"When it happens you'll know."
Susan did so by pulling out her Poke Gear and turning her camera on.
"Okay, follow me and don't make a sound."
She nodded taking her bag with her.
Ethan led Susan into the shady trees and hid behind the one closets to the pond. He lowered his voice to a whisper. "Start recording once you see the Pokemon."
Susan didn't know what it's going to be but knew it was something special. She snuck from behind the tree and knelt down. Susan found herself staring at the most beautiful Pokemon she has ever seen standing on a large rock in the middle of the – now illuminating – pond taking sips of water. She pressed record on her Gear taking in two and a half solid minutes of footage and stopped.
Ethan lowered himself at Susan's height resting his hand on her shoulder. "Beautiful isn't it?"
"Yeah it is. It's so bright and glorious. But what is it?"
"That is a Suicune, one of many legends of Johto. It and two others now roam Johto and even Kanto now."
"Sweet." Susan sneakily pulled out a Master Ball from her bag and pressed the button expanding it. She was just about to throw it until she was held back by Ethan yanked her back making her face him and covering her mouth with his other hand.
Suddenly she was pushed to the tree making a hard THUD causing the Suicune to flinch and run off at lightning speed. Ethan removed his hand. "What the hell is wrong with you?!" he hissed at her.
Susan released her grip from his other hand. "What wrong with you? Pulling me back like that!"
"You can't have that!"
"Why not?!"
"Are you daft women?!"
"Hey, no need to work up that attitude!"
"There's no need for you to catch that thing!"
"What's wrong with having it?"
"It's a legendary Pokemon. Legendary Pokemon weren't made to be caught; they were made to make the whole Earth right. Also that Pokemon belongs to someone."
"Who?"
"Lyra."
"Really?! Has she caught that?"
"Not particularly but it was placed under her possession."
"By who?"
"The Legends that wrote it obviously. It's not right have possession of someone else's Pokemon."
"Why do you care about her?"
Ethan didn't know how to respond but instead ignored. "Look you can't have it. That's just how it is. I wouldn't like is someone went off to go and catch my Ho-oh."
"That's bull, that flying bird is not yours!"
"Ask Amy, she'll tell you it is."
"Would she really?"
"You know her well enough that she knows everything about us."
Susan was stunned, not knowing what to say. "Fine, have it your way then." Susan says hitting her shoulder on his. She walked into the daylight with Ethan following a meter behind. She stopped and turned to Ethan. "I'm an idiot aren't I?" she asks calmly.
"You can be sometimes."
Susan narrowed her eyes at him.
"Any guy would say 'no' but I'm telling you the truth and in fact everyone can be an idiot sometimes. It's part of being human."
"Oh Ethan, you really do have your way with girls don't you?" Susan commented with a smirk. Then they both embraced each other in a hug. "Gosh you're growing heaps!"
