"Ugh..." I moaned as I rubbed the back of my neck. "This is the last time I sleep against a door."

"Squirtle Squirt Squirt-le." My Pokemon yawned.

"Well not everyone gets the pleasure of getting to sleep on someone." I paused. "Wait that came out wrong." I shook my head. "Never mind." I stood up, but nearly fell back on my rear as my vision blurred.

"Squirtle?" My Pokemon asked with a confused look.

"I'm fine... Fine. I just got a head rush." I rubbed my forehead while I forced myself off of the door behind me, my sight coming back into focus. "Come on, lets go get some breakfast." I reached over and out my blanket back into my bag. I then picked up the side bag and swung it over my shoulder. I stumbled as my legs complained, but I refrained from falling on my face.

I walked down the less creepy hallway, as day seemed to bring life into the hallway. A tall trainer with a buzz cut was talking to a Pokemon I hadn't seen before. I bit my lip as the urge to find out every tiny piece of information shook inside me. But the trainer looked quite threatening. I even think I saw a tattoo on his shoulder!

"What are you looking at kid?" The trainer asked suddenly. My eyes widened in fright.

"N-Nothi-" I felt my Squirtle elbow my leg. "Ow." I shot a glare at my Pokemon, then coughed lightly. "I was wondering what Pokemon was that." I pointed to the orange Pokemon next to the 'punk' trainer. It had two pointed blue fins on its arms and had two tails. The Pokemon had a yellow flotation device that gave the impression of an inflatable life vest. Its forelimbs and tails were tipped a cream color, and there was an orange teardrop shape in its cream lower belly. The Pokemon also has a circular cream spot in the center of its head, cream eyelids and a pattern of two black triangles on the edges of its cream muzzle.

"This here is Jess, My Floatzel." The trainer jerked his thumb and my Squirtle "What's that?" He asked.

"O- Oh. This is Bubbles. He is my Squirtle." I told the Trainer.

"That's... Quite an interesting name. Did you just start out?" The Floatzel trainer asked. I nodded as I saw my Squirtle waddled towards the Floatzel.

"Squirtle?" My Pokemon hesitantly put out his hand for Jess the Floatzel. The strange Pokemon eyed my smaller Squirtle

"Floatzel." The Pokemon's voice was deep, and it had a small rumble in the back of it's throat. But the Floatzel didn't reach for my Pokemon's hand. My Squirtle dropped his hand dejectedly.

"What are you doing challenging the elite four then?" The trainer eyed me like his Floatzel had eyed my Squirtle I blinked.

"I'm not challenging the elite four yet. Are you crazy?" I took my chance to eye him. He was almost a foot and a half taller then me and he wore a black, leather vest with a white, male cut tang-top that had seen better days. He also wore skinny jeans so tight that it would make even skinny girls gape. He also had some tall, black boots that matched his vest.

"Well... Only slightly." He grinned awkwardly. Apparently he hasn't practiced smiling before.

"Oh... OK..." I looked away.

"That was a joke." He looked at me with a deadpan expression.

"Oh. Uhm... Haha?" I smiled and placed my hands behind my back. "I-I should get going." I adjusted my bag's strap and turned to walk away. "It was nice meeting you..." I paused.

"My name is Jack." He quipped in.

"Um, My name is Blue. Hopefully we will meet again... I guess." I added the last part as I walked away.

"Weirdo." I heard Jack say behind my back.

Wait... I'm a weirdo?

Thankfully my legs were less sore then yesterday, making the trip downstairs more of an annoyance then anything.

I had spotted Green drinking something in a plastic cup in the corner of the cafeteria, and I waved to him. I then went up to the front of the room and got myself some dry 'Honey Nut Cheerios' and some milk from the small breakfast buffet. My Pokemon happily received a bowl of Pokemon food, and I picked up some feline pellets with a cup of water.

I sat myself across the Green as he took another sip from his red cup. I sat down my food and the pellets, then took a seat. Green remained silent as he took another drink.

"Good morning to you too." I opened the little bag of pellets and dumped them into the water.

"Mm." Green grumbled as he pulled his drink closer. I shrugged and tore off my cereal's plastic top. I then reached for my milk and drowned the little O shaped pieces.

"Where's Red?" I questioned. I then realized I forgot a spoon.

"Sleeping.." Green let out a yawn. "Red didn't come back to the room for a few hours, and I went to look for him." Green dozed off slightly, but jerked upwards to wake himself back up.

"What happened?" I asked.

"Apparently Red used to go to the Pokemon School when he was a little kid." Green explained. "And he used to have a Pokemon that he used to play with there. So Red went ahead and wanted to go see his friend late at night."

"Completely normal." I rolled my eyes.

"I know. So Red went to the school, and I followed him there. Eventually we got into an argument and accidentally broke a window."

"How do you accidentally break a window?" I interrupted. Green shrugged.

"So that triggered an alarm system that tipped off every officer jenny in town." Green rubbed the bridge of his nose. "So we had to hide. So where does Red go? INSIDE the fricken building! I had to follow him because if Red gets caught, then he will never get to be a trainer."

"I go inside the place, and find Red talking to his Pokemon friend. One thing lead to another, and Red throws a Pokeball at the Pokemon Red then tells me to hold my breath, and I ask why. Apparently his Pokemon friend knows sleep powder, and he is going to put the cops to sleep so we can escape. Eventually we knock out the cops, and we head to the Pokemon center." Green finishes.

I take a moment to let the information sink in.

"So you guys went on an adventure without me?" I asked.

"Wh- what? That is your only question? Not, am I OK. Or something along those lines?" Green looked at me, baffled.

"Well, you seem fine." I shrug.

"I swear..." Green sighed, then went to take another sip of his drink. Only to be stopped with nothing came out. "Ugh.." Green pushed his drink away from him. A silence grew between us. I watched the doorway as trainers started to trickle in from the bedroom.

"So..." I started. "I'm going to go get a spoon." I looked over and saw my Pokemon finishing up the last of his food. I looked down at my cereal and noted how soggy it was. "Never mind." I picked up my cereal and got up from the table to throw out the food.

I was stopped by the creepy feeling like I was being watched. I looked around the room, and noticed a suspicious looking woman looking at an oddly convent newspaper. I scrunched my brow at the woman and tossed out my cereal.

I hurried back to my seat as Green shot me a confused look. I leaned closer to him and whispered.

"I think there is a police officer watching us." I nodded my head towards the woman. Green looked at the woman, then back at me.

"I don't think so. But just in case, act natural." Green whispered back. I leaned back into a slightly tense state. "Let your Pidgey out to eat. It will make you seem less... Worried."

"Uh." Why did he hesitate? "OK." I had nearly forgotten about my new Pokemon entirely. Heck, I haven't even given it a name yet. I looked at my Squirtle to see he had finished his food, and was watching me from on the floor. I reached into my bag and searched for the Pokeball I found the ball stuffed at the bottom of the bag, between my blanket and my laptop. I pulled out the red sphere and aimed it at the table, in front of both me and Green. "Go Pidgey!" A red flash blinked in front of me, leaving behind a small Pidgey.

"PIIII!" The Pokemon in front of me screeched. It's wings were splayed out threateningly while it's tiny claws scratched at the smooth surface of the table. The Pokemon was no bigger then my palm, and it showed.

"Hello." I reasoned that the Pokemon wouldn't attack it's trainer, and reached my index finger over to pet it's tiny head. But when my hand got within range, my Pidgey attacked my hand with a flurry of feathers and claws.

"PIII!" My Pokemon screeched. I yelped and drew back my hand towards my chest. I saw little droplets of red starting to appear.

"Squirtle!" My Pokemon jumped on the seat next to me.

"Ah-hem." Green interrupted. I looked up at him, and noticed that the center had grown awfully quiet. I looked around and saw everyone looking at me and my Pidgey I felt my face turn red hot. My Pokemon took no notice, and let out another screech. I flinched back from my Pokemon call.

"OK." I pulled back out my Pokemon's Pokeball, and returned it with a flash of red that matched my face. "Green, go get Red. Meet me on..." I paused. "Just find me." I then stood up and stepped away from the table. I saw as everyone slowly turned back to there conversations. I slouched over in defeat and took my leave.

"Squirtle Squirt." My Pokemon reassured me with a pat on my back. After that...Scene... I went outside of the Pokemon center and went to the Pokemart for supplies. I apparently still didn't have enough money for a single Pokeball, but I have enough for a ten PokeDollar pillow, five PokeDollars worth of Pokefood, and lastly some easily made dinners. After that I decided to go and challenge the gym, to get my mind off things, but apparently the gym leader had taken a small leave to attend some business out of town for a few months.

Wonderful...

I rested my chin on the palm of my hand as I watched town's folk and trainers of all sorts walk by. I was sitting on a tall ledge in front of the gym as I suddenly remembered what that one punk trainer with the Floatzel had said behind my back.

"Am I a weirdo?" I asked Bubbles with a small sigh. Bubbles looked up at me with a confused look, then shook his head 'no'. I snorted. "We perhaps not to you, but what if I am a weirdo to everyone else?" I moved my legs back and forth while I looked down from the ridge. The drop was only a few feet, but if I fell wrong, I could defiantly break something.

"What if everyone only puts up with me?" I asked my Pokemon

"Squirtle Squirtle." My Pokemon hugged my arm, concern written across his face.

"I know you care. But..." I sighed. "You're just one Pokemon What is one caring Pokemon to a thousand humans who could care less?" I fell onto the grass behind me, my legs still dangling off of the ledge and my arms spread wide, as if I was a bird. I watched the fluffy clouds drift by without a care in the world. First running away, then catching a Pokemon horribly, and then I got embarrassed in front of all those people!

"Squirtle Squirt Squirtle!" My Pokemon went inside my bag and pulled out my Pidgey's Pokeball

"Hey!" I sat up and reached for the Pokeball My Squirtle jumped back and threw the Pokeball at the ground, successfully releasing the Pidgey

"PII!" My Pokemon cried out. I sat up completely and looked around. There were no beings to be found in sight.

"Squirt!" My Pokemon hit his chest. Bubbles was challenging my Pidgey to a battle. The Pidgey ruffled up it's feathers and scraped at the ground.

"PIII!" My Pidgey slammed into my Squirtle's chest, making Bubbles skid backwards slightly. Bubbles leaped into the air and sucked in a deep breath. My Pidgey spread it's wings and clawed at the ground in response. Bubbles sent a stream of water towards the Pidgey, but at the last second, my Pidgey jumped into the air.

But instead of flapping it's wings, My Pidgey kept it's wings strait so that it floated down slowly. Bubbles took this chance and shot another water gun at the bird Pokemon This time the water hit it's target, sending my Pidgey flying backwards and off the ledge.

"That's enough!" I looked over the ledge and saw the Pidgey laying on the ground motionless. I hopped off the ledge and fell on my legs wrong, bringing up the soreness from yesterday. I fell to the ground as pain shot up my spine. I yipped in shock and dug my hands into the grass below me.

"Squirtle?!" My Pokemon called to me in worry. I waved my hand.

"I'm fine. Don't worry." I pushed myself off of the ground and gripped onto my left knee. "Just landed wrong, that's all." I trudged up to my fallen Pokemon, but just stood there. "Um.. are you OK?" I asked with concern written in my voice. When it didn't respond, I knelt down closer. I was about to reach for my Pokemon, but I hesitated.

"Pii..." The bird Pokemon moved it's wings slightly around, but it's voice was muddled.

"Hey. Um... It's me your trainer.." I moved my hand a little closer to the Pokemon "My name is Blue by the way, and I'm going to pick you up off the ground... OK?" I paused, but I didn't hear a complaint from the Pokemon I used my right hand to cup around it's body and my left hand to hold up it's wings that didn't fit in my other hand. I looked over my Pokemon, but I couldn't see anything obvious like a broken wing.

"PIIIIII!" My Pidgey suddenly jumped to life in my hand. I then did the only normal thing anyone would do. I freaked out by jumping away from the Pokemon and dropping the bird on the ground. The Pokemon squawked as it hit the ground, out of surprise or pain I didn't know. The baby Pidgey got to it's feet and eyed me over. The Pokemon didn't even reach to my ankle, so the fall from the ledge should of hurt the bird a lot more. Not to forget me dropping the Pokemon on the ground.

"Sorry..." I laughed nervously. "You're a resilient thing aren't you?"

"Pidgey." The Pokemon stretched it's wings out.

"Yeah..." I looked around and saw my Squirtle trying to climb down the ledge. The tiny turtle had already gotten half way down, but it looked like he was having a bit of trouble. "Oh, Hold on Bubbles!" I rushed over to him and grabbed him from the ledge. I then sat him on the ground

"Squirtle Squirt." My Pokemon grabbed my leg.

"I'm fine. I just got startled." I explained as we walked back over to the Pidgey. "Anyway..." I bent down to look at the down covered bird. "We need to give you a name." I paused. "Erm.. Your name is now... Feathers?" I asked.

"Pi." The baby Pokemon shook his head.

"Okay... How about...Flighty?"

"Pi." Again, No.

"Erm... Are you a girl or a boy?" I scratched the back of my head.

"Pi. Pidgey." My Pokemon pecked at it's under wing.

"OK, So you're a boy." I huffed. "Furs. Fight. Finch... How about Finch?" My Pidgey looked up at me, seeming to think about the name.

"Pidgey." The bird Pokemon ruffled it's feathers.

"Well, do you have any better ideas?" I miffed. The Pokemon watched me for a few seconds, then shook his head. "Well then your name is Finch from now on." I decided.

"Pid Pi!" The newly named Finch argued.

"Well, too bad. It's official." I crossed my arms.

Suddenly I felt the ground shake. I blinked and looked around.

"Squirtle Squirt Squirtle?" Bubbles asked.

"I don't know what that is." I motioned for my Pokemon "Come here." I paused as only Bubbles moved towards me. "Both of you." I added.

"Pidgey Pi Pi Pid!" Finch argued.

"I don't care if you can take care of yourself! Come here now!" I demanded. Finch opened it's beak, then shut it. I open my palm out to Finch, and it jumped onto my hand. I raised my hand up to my shoulder, and Finch jumped on. I then bent down to pick up my Squirtle

"RUN BLUE RUN!" I heard Red's voice suddenly scream out of nowhere. I jumped in shock and looked around for Red. I spotted something speeding towards me and my Pokemon. I blinked as I saw Red running next to Green. In Red's hand was his Bulbasaur, who was vine whipping at the seemingly millions of Pokemon running behind them. Green on the other hand was giving his Charmander a piggy-back ride as the fire lizard shot embers behind them. I just stood there gawking like an idiot.

"WHAT ARE YOU STANDING THERE FOR? RUN YOU IDIOT!" Green called me out as they ran past. I snapped out of my confusion and saw purple and blue four legged creatures running right at me. I turned on my heel and high tailed it towards Red and Green.
