Kates' P.O.V
Walked back out with Star on my shoulder and walked into the lobby. I saw Big Bertha there with a bowl of, something that looked like chocolate.
"Oh Kate Big Bertha came to give us some milk pudding" Barlow said.
"It's our Miltanks' way of saying thank you" Big Bertha said. (A/n I know I left that out but I think I was doing Keiths' P.O.V when it was happening.)
I smiled at her and took some. I lifted the spoon up and brought it to my mouth. "Mmmm this is good Big Bertha" I said.
"You are very much welcome dear" she said and went to Ollie.
"That guy refuses to talk. Just stick a spoon in his mouth and that'll be plenty" Barlow said. I was about to say something, when:
"NOW HUSH, THAT IS NO WAY TO TREAT PEOPLE!" Big Bertha yelled. I stared at her. Beat me to it. "Now here you go love, eat as much as you like, I'll even spoon it for ya" she said, I smiled at her. Big Bertha was being all mother like to him. Ollie then began to cry.
"It- it was my fault about the Vien forest fire. This guy said I could make some easy money. So I set up the machine he gave me, and- and then the oil went out of control and then a fuse went, and the fire started" he said crying.
"If I'm piecing that together I'd say Dim Sun asked him to" I said. Barlow nodded.
"Kate untie Ollie would you?" he asked.
"Sure thing" I went over to untie his ropes. They were too tight. "Luana little help?" I asked, she came over, we still couldn't do it.
"Elaine do you have anything in your tool box to cut these ropes?" Luana asked, she came over with some tweezers and cut them without a word.
"Thank you" Ollie said.
"Never again I'm I untying ropes that are a smidgeon on the tight side" I said and went back to my pudding.
"Kate it's time for you to go and patrol" Barlow said.
"Sure thing" I looked to Prof. Hastings. "It's nice to meet you Prof. Hastings" I said.
"And you too dear" he said, I smiled at him and ran out the door.
"KATE WAIT!" Ollie yelled. I turned to him. "My mo-friend lives in Chicole Village. I was wondering if you would take me to her?" he asked, I looked at him. Really he needed me to take him to see his mom?
"Sure thing come on" I said and walked in front of him. The walk to Chicole Village was short and silent, just the way I like 'em.
"Big sister, big sister!" my sister came up to me.
"Woah, Grace, what's up?" I asked.
"There's a hot ghost on partner farm." She said.
"A hat ghost?" I asked.
"Yes this way quick, hurry up please" she begged and ran off. I turned to Ollie.
"Let's go, this sound more important than my quest" he said, I nodded and ran to the farm. Ollie tagging along way behind.
We got to the farm and I was staring at a hat that was jumping around.
"What the hell is that?" I asked, I would have said fuck but my sisters her, so I can't.
"It's a hat ghost big sister." Grace said.
"There's no such thing as ghosts" I said to her. I walked over to the hat and picked it up. There was a pokemon underneath it, a Kricketot jumped out from under it. "See I told you" I said and started up my styler. "CAPTURE ON!" I yelled, within a minute the Kricketot was caught. It came up to me and began to cuddle me.
"Awe it's cute. Can we keep it?" Grace asked.
"It looks as if it wants to be your partner Kate" my dad said.
"Well I can't have more ten one at a time" I said with a frown.
"I KNOW, I KNOW. We can keep Kricketot here on partner farm" Grace said, I looked at dad pleadingly.
"Very well, this will now be the place where you can switch pokemon, Kate" my dad said, I jumped and hugged him.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you daddy" I said as he laughed. I bent down to the Kricketot. "Now I just need a name for you" I said pondering the options. "I know, Grace why don't you chose one?" I asked.
"Really?" she looked at me, I nodded. She smiled and walked over to the Kricketot, it was clearly a girl with how soft its fur was. "I KNOW! How about Melody?" Grace asked and looked at Kricketot who chirped happily.
"Melody it is then" I said and smiled.
"What did you call Pachirisu?" Grace asked me.
"I called her Star" I said.
"How come?" she looked at Star and petted her.
"I was lying in bed one night and she was just staring at the Stars, I asked if she liked them and she said yes, so her name is Star now" I explained.
"Awe how cute" my sister said, as Star ran along her back and onto her head, before jumping back into my shoulder. I smiled at her.
"We should get going I have to patrol" I told them.
"Sure thing, bye honey" my dad said.
"Bye, bye big sister" Grace said, I hugged them both and then took Ollie to see his 'friend'. We walked into the house next door to mine. I stared at him, is he really my neighbour.
"Mom? I'm sorry I left you alone for so long. I didn't mean to. I, um, how should I say this. I'm just so, so awkward and clumsy, and I just fail at everything I do. Mom, I'm always causing you to worry. That's all I've ever been good at. But, um. I want. Please, I'm sorry, and um. I'm home mom." Ollie said. His mother turned around.
"All I wanted was to hear you say I'm home" his mother said hugging him, he smiled as she did so and I smiled at the scene before me.
"Kate I'm sorry I lied to you it was my mother I wanted to see, not a friend" he apologized. I smiled at him.
"No problem, I gotta get going so I'll see you soon" I said running out the door. I went to a little girl who wanted me investigate the bridge near the school. I did as asked, turns out it was a Floatzel. The little girl said thanks I went back to Vien Town. An old woman asked me to catch her a Combee. I did as asked and brought her one back from the forest. She thanked me and went on her way with the Combee to make some honey. Something sweet sounded pretty good right about now. I went back on the path to the forest, where a man asked me to calm some Wartortle and a Cranidos down. The Wartortle were mad for it stepping into their territory. The Cranidos seemed to have taken a liking to me, so he became a partner pokemon.
I smiled down at him. "Now we just need a name for you" I said. He then went over and smashed some rocks into a rocky pile. "I know how about Rocky?" I asked, he made a happy sound, I smiled at him. "Rocky it is then" I said, he then took off back down to partner farm; how he knew the way I have no idea.
I decided to head back to the base after that, it was late, and I was tiered. I walked through the doors and Crawford greeted me with a smile.
"You got a call" he said, everyone was crowding around Aminas' desk.
"What's up?" I asked sleepily.
"Oh Kate did we call at a bad time?" Rythmis' voice rang in my ears. My eyes shot to the screen, I smiled at her.
"Nah just tiered from all the quests" I explained, she smiled at me. It was just Rythmi Keith wasn't with her, which kind of upset me. Wait, what? I don't like Keith, do I? Rythmi began to catch me up on all the stuff she had done that day and what the Go Rock Squad was doing. By the time she finished talking it was 10 here, which meant it was 1 there. I smiled at her.
"Ryth, quit blabbing and go to bed it's late" I said to her. She looked at the clock.
"Oh my it is, well good night Kate" she chirped.
"Good night Ryth" I said, she ended the transmission and I walked over to my room. I got my PJs on and jumped into bed falling asleep in an instant.
