Chapter 7
Upon awakening, Sarah, much to her disappointment, noticed that Will was no longer holding her in his arms.
"Will." She called out.
A head popped through the tent opening and answered the girl's call.
"Yes ma'am" replied the brown haired boy.
"Oh I was just wondering where you were." Sarah stated.
"Oh, cool." Will stated.
"So, umm what are you doing?" she questioned.
"I decided to get up and make breakfast." He answered
"And you haven't burned the whole forest down?" Sarah joked.
"Ha Ha Ha! As a matter of fact I have not." Will countered
"I am just messing with you. What did you end up making?" the dark haired girl asked.
"Why don't you come and see for yourself." The aspiring trainer said.
Will helped Sarah up out of bed and led her to where he had prepared the meal. His assortment of eggs, muffins, and bacon were neatly laid out upon the table. Growlithe was dripping with saliva after seeing the bacon lie just a few feet away from him.
"I am very impressed, Will. Not only did you not burn the whole forest to ashes, but you also made a pretty good looking meal." Sarah said
"Don't expect this from me all the time." Will said.
"Awwww, but it looks so good." Sarah exclaimed.
"I was talking about the burning the forest part. There is no guarantees in that category." Will joked.
"Oh I'm okay with that then." Sarah said as she picked out which food she would delight herself into.
The group ate breakfast and as always the leftovers were fed to Growlithe.
"It is like he has an endless stomach." Sarah exclaimed.
"I have no complaint because it means we will never be wasting food." Will concluded.
After Growlithe had finished the leftovers, the group packed up and headed out of the very large forest. The group continued along the path before seeing a sign upon a hill saying Pewter City 2 miles.
"Look Sarah! Civilization!" Will shouted.
"I can not wait until I can take a shower." Sarah yelled.
"That was a little loud." Will warned.
"Oh sorry." Sarah apologized.
"It is okay because no one is around." Will said.
But as if it was on que, a young boy ran over the hill towards the group of young trainers. He looked at Will and asked not so nicely.
"Will you have a battle with me?"
"What is with people these days and not even asking how people are doing or even introducing themselves. All they do is just challenge you to a fight." ranted Will.
"Ok then, Hello My name is Joey and I want to have a Pokémon Battle with you." The boy said.
"Much better." Said Will. "Ok I accept your challenge."
The two boys stared each other down before Joey sent out his Rattata.
"You had better watch out this is a top percentage Rattata"
"We will just have to see about that won't we, Growlithe." Will said while the Orange dog nodded in agreement with its trainer.
"Rattata use Quick Attack."
"Growlithe use Agility to dodge it and then turn that into a Flame Charge." Called Will.
The small purple rodent ran at Will's Growlithe at break neck speed, but narrowly missed. Before Joey could say another command, Growlithe slammed into his Rattata and sent it flying back at the young trainer.
"Growlithe use Bite." Will calmly commanded.
"Rattata use tackle."
Before the Rattata could process what he should do, he was already in Growlithe's jaws. The Orange dog tossed him around like a chew toy before releasing him near the feet of the opposing trainer.
"My Rattata, NO!" yelled Joey.
His Pokémon had swirls in its eyes showing that it had been knocked out.
"You did great, Growlithe. You are the best." Will said while congratulating his starter. The orange dog looked up admirably at his best Friend. It was thankful that he was able to have what he thought was the greatest trainer of all time.
"You are going to pay for that!" screamed Joey who began to run over towards Will.
Will just looked at him curiously before realizing that he wanted to fight him.
"Hey dude just chill out." Said Sarah who was trying to defuse the Situation.
"Shut up you, Whore!" yelled the angry trainer.
He took no more than two steps more forward before Will ran up to the kid and punched him right in the nose. Joey took a step back before touching his nose and saw that he was bleeding.
"I will get you back for this. Just you wait." Screamed the defeated trainer as he recalled his Rattata.
"I can not wait until you try." Yelled Will.
The boy ran off into the distance to the point where the duo could no longer see him.
"Are you alright?" Sarah asked.
"I will be once I get my hands on him again." Will angrily stated.
"Don't worry about him. He is not worth it." Sarah said.
"I know its just, when he called you what he called you, I just lost it." Will admitted.
Sarah blushed before saying "Well you are my hero."
Will turned the color of a Vulpix at the sound of the previous statement.
Meanwhile, down the road a car approached the recently defeated trainer.
The window rolled down and revealed a man with short green hair.
"What do you want?" Joey said.
The man very simply stated "We saw your defeat suffered at the hands of that boy with that pretty girl. We would like to know if you would like to get revenge against him for his actions."
"Who are you?" Joey asked.
"We are Syndicate."
What a surprise am I right? I will finally be getting to Pewter city in the next chapter after spending 7 chapters doing character development. I have basically become Peter Jackson. As always I encourage you to leave a review and help me in making this story.
