Sorry it took so long guys! I'll try to update faster, but I'm RPing way to much now. Go join the RPs listed on my profile! Now! Sorry. Anyways, onto the story!
It ended up taking Pablo a lot longer than we thought it would. "Don't worry; they're probably fooling around town. You never know with them." Faron said when Kalle voiced a concern. I didn't really care; the two could take care of themselves.
After a while I got bored. Do you know how frustrating it is to have a 6 months old mind in a body that's physically only about 2 or 3 months old? Since you probably don't, I'll tell you: very. I know how to do things that I'd know how to do if I were that old, but my body isn't physically capable of it. I know some powerful attacks, but if I tried them I would electrocute myself. I hope you understand my problem.
While I was resting and ranting to myself about this Kalle tackled me again, breaking my calm trance and knocking me over. I got up and shook out my fur; she had gotten dirt in it. I was used to it by now; the pup enjoyed tackling me. The first few times I had retaliated with weak electric attacks or a tackle of my own, but each time I did that she would hold me down until I apologized. And me, being the proud fool I am, made that a lot more painful than it had to be.
Kalle jumped on me again, pinning me on the ground. She licked the side of my face with her slobbery tongue. I wanted to wipe it off but was unable to due to my position. I was also a bit worried. "Er, Kalle? Did I do something?" I asked nervously. It had never been a good thing for her to pin me like this. She laughed, and I noticed it actually sounded like laughter instead of her amused half barks when she was little(er).
"No, silly! We're playing football!" she said happily. Then she noticed something. "There's no ball!" She wailed, getting off me and looking around the clearing for a 'ball', whatever that was. I honestly have no idea where she gets the ideas she has. Earlier she was talking about a game called 'I Spy' where you were supposed to find something and have the other person guess what you saw. I really see no point to it at all, but she found it extremely amusing, so I humored her.
Eventually she found a berry in the pack, an Oran berry. "Here! This is a football!" she said happily through the berry- excuse me, ball- in her mouth. "Hike!" she yelled, throwing the berry into the air.
I assumed I was supposed to catch it, so I did. But I just stood there; how was I supposed to know I was supposed to run? Anyways, Kalle tackled me. "Ha! That's one down! You only have three more! Run this time!" She yelled to me as she grabbed the 'ball' and ran back to her position. "Hike!" she yelled again, throwing the berry yet again. I grabbed it and ran away from her, reaching the other end of the clearing. She tackled me again.
"That didn't count, this is my goal! Which means you just gave me a point! Thank you!" she said quickly, licking my face again. I wiped it off with my paw as she prepared to throw the berry again. When she did, I jumped up and grabbed it, 'accidentally' swallowing it to get rid of it. Unfortunately I swallowed it whole, and the result was me gagging uncontrollably.
Faron walked over, laughing, and flipped me over. She jumped on my chest, dislodging the berry from my throat. I walked over to the edge of the woods and spit it out, frying it with a spark for good measure. Kalle had little tears in her eyes.
"It… died!" she sobbed. I sighed inwardly and went to comfort her.
"Don't worry, Kalle. It was just a berry-" I started.
"No it wasn't. It was a football." She said. I sighed.
"Don't worry Kalle." I started again. "It was just a football. You can find another one." I said in an attempt to cheer her up. I love Kalle, but she doesn't always think completely straight. I'm hoping she'll grow out of that. She sniffled and smiled at me.
"OK, Trinexx!" she said more happily. I looked up at the sky; it was getting dark.
"We should be getting to sleep." I murmured. Kalle nodded obediently and laid down in the middle of the clearing, where she had set up a bed. I had a bed to, but she had taken all the good material and therefore mine was a little bit of grass on top of more grass. Not very comfortable. So I opted to share a bed with Kalle instead; it kept us both warm at night to. I saw Faron curl up on the edge of the clearing, but light reflected of her eyes and I knew she was keeping watch. I heard Kalle's breathing become rhythmic beside me, lulling me to sleep.
I woke up to hear a human's footsteps. I knew it was a human because Pokemon are a lot more careful to be quiet. Faron had left her post; probably to go get some water from the nearby stream or something. Pablo and Bajo still weren't back, but I didn't worry. They could be with Faron, wherever she was. Kalle was still asleep beside me.
I feigned sleep, and soon I saw the human walk through the brush, making such a big racket I was surprised that Kalle didn't wake up. But then again, almost everything sounded loud to me. He had some sort of plant Pokemon by his side; I didn't recognize it. I made a mental note to learn more types of Pokemon.
I wasn't too worried at first, because I didn't think he could see me. When he turned his head towards me, I just sat completely still. When his eyes lit up I made a decision: Wake Kalle and run.
Unfortunately it didn't work. He soundlessly took out a Pokeball, thinking I was still asleep probably. Out came-
"Crap." I muttered to myself. Just what I needed. A Manectric was standing obediently in front of the trainer, ready to fight.
I heard Kalle's breathing quicken at my quiet curse, and that only made me want to curse more. I really didn't need Kalle in this fight. I didn't want her to get hurt, or worse, captured. I stood up, hoping that she would stay down. For the moment she did, but I think that was mostly because she didn't know what was going on.
I growled; it was actually semi menacing. That's what I did in my free time; worked on my growl. Sad, I know. The trainer flinched, but the Manectric didn't. He stood up a bit straighter. "Trinexx?"
I stumbled, which was sad cause I wasn't walking. "How… how do you know my name?" I asked worriedly. The Manectric laughed, and I could tell it was a girl. Oops. Stupid gender confusion.
"I'm so sad that you don't remember your Aunty Jolene." She said, and her voice made me shudder. I didn't know who she was, and the way she talked made me feel like I should know her. It annoyed the crap out of me not to know.
"Er, excuse me? I'm afraid I don't remember you." I said, trying to be polite. You should be polite to someone who's about to beat you to a pulp, shouldn't you? You know, just incase they changed their mind. If she was from my pack I was screwed. All the adults went through rigorous training that I had absolutely no hope of matching. She laughed, and it reminded me of my father's laugh.
"I'm the one who let you live that first night, Trinexx. The one who gave meat to your helpless mother." Oh yes. The mean one. I remember her. The comment about my mother made my fur bristle.
"She was not helpless!" I told her. I guess I forgot about being polite. Jolene noticed.
"Tsk tsk, Trinexx. I thought your mother taught you to be polite to your elders! And if she wasn't helpless, why is it that she's dead now?" she said, catching me off guard.
"How did you know that?" I growled. "You left before that happened."
She shrugged. "News gets around, dear. Now anyways, I think I'm supposed to be beating you to a pulp now." She said nonchalantly as her trainer ordered an attack.
