I've been lazy; therefore this chapter is small…
I'll make it up for the next one:)
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
Outside, Dylan and Bryan were waiting for Casey. Her father had told them to stick with her all the way and they promised to do so. Dylan's mobile phone rang and she picked it up not paying attention to whom it could be.
- Hello? – Her face then chalked white. –M-mom! Hey how are you? The field trip? ... Oh, yeah! It's great! I made two friends already! –Bryan couldn't help but to stare at Dylan. – They're Bryan and Casey, they're both very nice. Oh yeah mom, this trip might take a good two weeks… how come? Because… we're going inside the cave of Indigo Plateau to explore and learn more about it. The people responsible for this trip are very responsible so you don't have to worry one bit! Tell dad I say hi, bye mom!
Dylan hung up her phone with a sigh of relief. Bryan leaned against the house wall.
- So you lied to your parents about this trip uh? – Dylan didn't reply to him; she wasn't in the mood to hear another of his jokes. – If you did that, then there must be a very strong reason for them to reprehend you, but if you think that you're doing the right thing, then it's none of my business to meddle in.
Dylan nodded thanking for him not to push the subject any further. Jumping out of the door house, Casey revealed to them.
- I'm ready! –She shouted happy. Casey was wearing a white top with light blue circles. A knee length white skirt with equal white sandals that atached her ankles. Her blue hair was pinned in a pony-tail. – Let's get going you two! I can't wait to start this already!
At her command the three departed from Casey's house and continued down route 30. Dylan was disappointed for not being able to finish her battle with Casey; she was sure that she would win. Along their path, Casey informed them a little more about her. She was born on August 15 and was 14 years old. Her father was a proud Hiker and her mother worked in Indigo Plateau and would only go home twice a week. She had no brothers or sisters and was happy for that. Her dream is to become a Pokémon Trainer Competitor.
- You want to become a Trainer Competitor? –Asked Dylan surprised.
- Yes. –Replied Casey. – They travel a lot and they are respected everywhere!
- It's not an easy job you know. –Advised Bryan calmly. – You will have to struggle a lot in order to be recognized and actually start your own Training business. There aren't many T.C.'s out there.
- I know that! –Shouted Casey; her voice could be frightening at times. – But who says that I'm not going to make it? I'll work hard to reach my goal! –She mockingly stared at Bryan. – What about you? –Bryan raised an eyebrow at her. – Why are you in this journey? You want to become a Pokémon Mater like Dylan?
Dylan was instantly intrigued; she had never questioned herself about Bryan's presence. In fact, she didn't know much about him, so hearing out a little would only do well.
- I want to become an Elite Four; you have a problem with that?
Casey laughed amused.
- And you're telling me to work hard?! You'll have to suffer in order to become part of the Elite! – She smiled at the two. – Every year there's a tournament held just for Elite Four's wannabes. To this date none have managed to enter. It's normal I guess; the other Elite are in the business for many years. There would have to be another League to give these people a job.
Bryan gazed off and continued walking along the road. Dylan followed him along with Casey. Still, they laughed at each other, as they all had big dreams. One to become a Pokémon Master, another to travel the World as Trainer Competitor and one to be recognized as an Elite Four. They were very ambitious teens.
After a few long hours Dylan asked for them to take a rest. They respected her and sat down in the lawn. Dylan's Pichu climbed up a near three and ate, what it seemed to be some kind of fruit from it.
- Hey Pichu be careful! –She got up. – That thing can be poisoned!
Bryan and Casey laughed at her naivety. Casey got up in a jump and approached the confused Dylan.
- Those are wild Berries! Pokémon eat it all the time, it's their favorite food.
- Oh, yeah? –She stared admired. – Then I probably won't have to worry too much with food for my Pokémon.
As they turned back a young boy was standing in front of them. He had black hair, a little oily, wearing green shorts and a simple blue shirt.
- Hi! –He said. His voice was of a young boy before going through puberty. – I was wondering if you would like to battle.
- Sure! –Replied Dylan exited. She went near the boy. – You want to go two on two?
- Not you loser!! –The boy shouted annoyed. He pointed at the sitting Bryan. – I'm talking with him!
Bryan stared at the boy surprised. Casey was holding Dylan from killing the boy. Bryan nodded accepting the challenge and grabbed one of his pokéballs.
- Do you have good Pokémon? –He asked enlarging the pokéball.
- You'll see just that! –Replied the boy confident
The boy threw the first pokémon. Dylan grabbed the pokédex to examine. It identified as being an Ekans, the purple snake growled intimately. Bryan smirked and unleashed his Pokémon. This would be the first time that either girl would see his Pokémon. The pokéball revealed a dark dog with a skull on the top of his head. Dylan's pokédex examined the Pokémon as being a Houndour; both girls were impressed with it.
- Let's start this battle already! –Shouted Bryan as he noticed that his opponent had become nervous at the sight of his Pokémon. – Houndour commence with leer!
The black dog gave the foe Ekans a fright with his leer, making Ekans out of guard. Houndour took the opportunity and cast ember on the purple snake. Ekans cried in pain from the burns inflicted to her.
- Ekans hang on! –Shouted the boy. –Use your Poison Sting now!
Ekans opened her mouth and many needles were thrown at the Houndour. He managed to avoid most of them, but there were so many of them that he eventually was hit. Fortunately for Houndour and Bryan, the Ekans was still young and her poison was very week not affecting Houndour.
- Houndour finish it! –Ordered Bryan convinced to end the battle.
Houndour used Ember again and Ekans was hit with the heat of the flames. The snake pokémon fell to the ground incapacitated of continuing. Her trainer recalled her and instantly threw another pokéball.
- Another one? –Asked Bryan convinced that the battle had ended. – Very well then.
His other pokémon was a Beedrill. Bryan withdrew Houndour and unleashed another Pokémon of his own. It was smaller than Houndour and with big ears. Casey shrieked and announced that it was an Eevee, a very rare Pokémon.
- Beedrill use Fury Attack! –Ordered Beedrill's trainer.
The bee Pokémon charged against Eevee and hit it multiple times with both his sharp needles. Eevee flipped to the ground hurt.
- Eevee are you ok? –The Pokémon got up nodding. –Good, use Sand-attack!
The little fox created a storm of sand so fearsome that Beedrill had no other choice but to land. Eevee took the opportunity and hit Beedrill with a strong Tail Whip. Beedrill was knocked back and before it could react, Eevee rushed to the Pokémon and gave a hard Tackle to the stomach. Beedrill was sent off flying to the other side. Bryan had won. The trainer withdrew Beedrill and shook hands with Bryan before leaving. Dylan went to Bryan very impressed.
- Uau! I didn't know that you had such spectacular Pokémon! –She picked his Eevee up admiring the little Pokémon. – Do you have any others?
- No. These are about it. –He stored Eevee back to the pokéball. – I hope you learned something from the battle Dylan. –He rubbed her head. –We better get going if we want to find a good place to sleep.
