Chapter 8: Cardinal is a gambler
Cardinal hugged her scyther, "I'm so happy. It was worth it though. Wasn't it Kenshin?"
Kenshin, the scyther in question, actually was a quite annoyed with his new trainer as she wouldn't stop hugging him.
"All those hours at the casino payed off!"
…..
"Wait, you're staying in Lavender Town tonight? Why?" Cardinal asked annoyed looking at the Sage at the video screen.
"Well…" Sage leaned a little to show the fact that Teal had falling asleep on his shoulder.
Cardinal sighed annoyed, "Of course. You know this is a Teal thing that would happen. See you tomorrow?"
Sage nodded and the screen went blank.
….
Cardinal sighed as she tossed her clothes in the washing machine provided at the pokemon center and turned it on. She had decided to wash them since she had the time and was now lounging around in her red t-shirt and pokeball pajama pants.
Her recently hatched Eevee was perched on her shoulder was leaning over trying to see what her trainer was doing, "Careful."
Eevee made a noise and Cardinal smiled and scratched her ear and she left the laundry area and headed to the room she had rented.
"Cute, Eevee."
The soft voice got Cardinal's attention and she turned and to see a girl her age with dark hair and wearing pink at the counter, "Thanks."
They both stared awkwardly for a minute before the girl asked, "What's your eevee's name?"
"Oh, um, Raiden, and my name's Cardinal Blake," The red trainer replied, "What's yours?"
"I'm Iris," The girl smiled at Cardinal, "It's nice to meet."
The trainer smiled back, "So, want to keep me and Raiden company."
….
"You seem happy today, Cardinal," Teal commented as they made their way through the fourth gym, "I don't trust it. What do you think, Sage?"
The yellow trainer in question was staring at his egg, "Soon, my eevee. Soon."
Teal sighed as Cardinal replied, "I had a good night? So sue me."
"I wish I could."
"Halt! Before facing Erika you must face me!"
Everyone turns to look at the young trainer.
"Iris?"
"Cardinal?"
Teal looks at the blushing Iris then Cardinal, "Oh, that's what you meant by good night?"
"Thanks, Teal. Thanks, as if this wasn't awkward enough…"
…
Erika and Iris waved as the trio left the gym.
Sage was smiling at his newly hatched eevee, named Annalise.
"So, shes never going to call me," Cardinal muttered putting her badge in her case.
"Why? Cause she meet me and Sage, you destroyed her team, or because you were staring at Erika?" Teal asked.
"Yes. All three."
…..
Sage smiled as he bought the thunder and water stone, "Teal, Cardinal, wha- Teal what are you doing with all those potions?!"
Cardinal sighed as she paid with her thunder stone, "Why?"
