Chapter 6: A New Companion!

Callie's Pov:

When I woke up the next morning Chris was not in his bed, but Blaze still was so I knew he hadn't left yet. The door opens and Chris walks in carrying a tray of food, Aeon walking besides him with one too. "Morning sleeping beauty." He says lightly smiling. He sets the tray he was carrying on the nightstand next to my bed, "Hope you enjoy it." He grabs the other tray from Aeon setting food for him and Blaze on the bed, quietly eating his own.

Blaze wakes up rubbing his eyes, grabbing a piece of food and nibbling at it, he looked too adorable. "Ummm Callie are you okay? You're eyes are really big." "I'm great~ Oh wait I almost forgot, come on out Eevee." I pull a pokéball from my bag and let my partner come out. Chris looks at me, "Does your pokémon not have a name of its own?" I look at him, "She does but you don't get to know~" I stick my tongue out at him."

He sighs shaking his head, and I giggle. Messing with him is really fun, "Thanks for the grub." I dig in with my Pokémon partner. Chris eats quietly, and slowly with his eyes closed almost moving in an extremely somber way. "Hey Mr. moooooooooooopey~ Why are you so down?" He opens his eyes, "What are you talking about?" I raise my eyebrow, "What do you mean, what am I talking about? You are all quiet, and your eyes are closed"

"I always eat like this." I gape, "How is that possible?" He shrugs, "I just always do. It makes it easier to focus when I have to prepare for an upcoming match." He closes his eyes again, "I think about the data I pull up on the gym leader and imagine the fight." "And it works?" "It did in the games, I never lost a match against a gym leader, or the elite four, or even to someone I played on line." He opens his eyes which are now narrowed like a hawk's when it stalks its prey.

"If I knew what pokémon they had I could plan for every eventuality." I whistle, "Wait then shouldn't you have been ready for Celebi?" He sighs his eyes going back to normal, "It never mentioned Celebi in her profile. It was one of the few variables that I wasn't ready for." I stand up and grab his shoulders, "Battle me right now, one pokémon a piece!" He jumps a bit startled, "What why?" "Just do it pweeeeaaasssseeee?" I add in a batting of my eye lashes for added effect.

"Alright, but wait until we are done with breakfast." I nod excitedly, and quickly wolf down the rest of my food. Although I am forced to restlessly wait until he finally finishes his food. Once he sets his bowl down I grab his arm and drag him to the battle ground out back. He rolls his shoulder while he and his team take their places. I take my place, "While mister smarty what can you tell me about my Eevee?"

He closes his eyes, "Eevee normal type, mega evolution presently none, abilities run away, adaptability, and anticipation." "How did you remember all of that?" He shrugs opening his eyes, "I don't know, I just do. Blaze you'll be taking this spot." I smile, "Alright let's start. Eevee use quick attack!" "Blaze dodge, and use ember" They moved quickly to dodge and attack, but I was a step ahead.

"Eevee use quick attack to dodge and use bite to counter them." It connects at Blaze flinches, so I press the advantage with a tackle. Yet Chris kept his calm. I pump my fist, "Eevee use tackle~!" He smiles. "Blaze, use ember." He gives the command as Eevee lunges at Blaze, and he hits Eevee full force with flames. It sends Eevee flying, "How was it so strong?" "Simple Blaze's ability which happens to be of the same name, and before you asked the name came before I even knew about the ability." Eevee gets up. "We should stop it here Callie." I blink, "Why?" He sighs, "Blaze and your Eevee are both on the ropes, can't you see it?" I take a good look at both of them and they are both shaking, barely able to stand. Although they are trying to hide it, I can see it now.

"Eevee how could you try to hide that?" I go pick her up, and Chris picks up Blaze. "Come on Callie let's get these two healed." We head back inside, and let our partners rest. Aeon shadow boxes while Chris and I drink some hot cocoa. "Chris how did you notice?" I ask looking into my drink. "It's hard to explain. I suppose it's because Blaze and I have known each other since I was still just a little kid." I look at him my eyes bright, "Really!?"

He nods, "I still remember the day like it was yesterday." He closes his eyes and leans back, "It was nine years ago on my sixth birthday, I had just gone to bed. It was storming, but even through the heavy sound of rain I heard something, and I went to check what it was." I lean over the table, "What was it?" He smiles, "It was a small Cyndaquil hiding from the rain on the porch. He was cold and wet, so I brought him inside and dried him off.

He opens his eyes and looks at Blaze, "From that day forward, we became friends." I smile widely, "I've decided!" He looks at me, "Decided what?" "From this day forward I am going to be traveling with you~!" "Oh okay…" He takes a sip of hot chocolate and does a spit take into the cup, "Wait what!?" I flick his forehead, "Yup you're stuck with me~"

Story update:

Hey guys not much to say for this chapter, save for that I hope you liked it. I decided to do a pov from Callie's perspective instead of Chris' this chapter because of how different she is from him. You can expect there to be more povs like this in the future. Well guys I hope you all stay well, and I will see you next time. Bye! Also I'm really sorry I uploaded this at Midnight the 5th central time so it's technically Monday!
