Chapter 9: Black and White

My bag was knocked over and my belongings spilled onto the floor. The girl gasped loudly and started to collect all my stuff in a clumsy manner. "Sorry, Jiao. So sorry!"

Then she returned my bag and stuff to me. Have you guessed who she was? She was flighty Bianca from Nuvema Town. Then, something caught my eye.

I took it out. It was my sketchbook. The one from MY WORLD! How did it get in here? Had it came here with me? I flipped the homemade sketchbook hurriedly. IT was the same. The sketches of dolphins, eagles, my family, Faolan…all in there! Then, Bianca broke my frenzy. "Jiao, Cheren and Black are there! Come on, I'll bring you to meet them!"

"Who is Black?" I asked as Bianca started leading me. I stuff my sketchbook into my backpack. I'll look at it later.

At the café, Cheren was sitting on the table with another boy. He had brown hair light brown eyes(Mine are far more darker, could have been black). He wore a red cap, blue jacket , black trousers and red shoes. Cheren was telling him something, and I could tell that that boy was shocked by the news.

"Hi, Cheren and Black, Jiao is here! Hey, where is your girlfriend, Black?" Bianca greeted as she plopped me and herself on the chair. Faolan sat on his hunches beside me.

Um, hello," I said awkwardly. Black asked," Hey, so you are the newest trainer? What a weird name!"

Weird name? I would have lashed out at him. Then, another girl came over. Who is she? She too, had brown hair and wore a cap. She had blue eyes which was different from Black's brown ones. She wore a black vest, white sleeveless shirt and those extremely short shorts which showed off her legs. Black's girlfriend? Twin sister or something would be more fitting.

The girl said, " Hey, we need to hurry! We have to get to the next town ASAP! We need to shoot another commercial by the day after tomorrow and you are part of the agency now, so you'll have to be there too!"

Black scowled, " Hey, I didn't even agree to come to your agency, all I wanted is too challenge all the gyms in the region and win the elite four, and become the champion! Not become some lousy assistant or something! Don't think I'll be a tame pokemon, White!"

White looked as if she were about to explode. I pushed my chair back in case there was a need to escape. I could see that White was one of those open girls who could chat with anyone in the street, or fight with anyone on the street. I was the opposite. Then, Black muttered, shaking his pokedex," Is my pokedex broken or something? Why can't it identify this pokemon?"

Oh god, he was referring to Faolan.

Cheren coughed. Cheren and Bianca both knew who Faolan and I was. Professor Juniper had told them the importance of keeping Faolan and my identities a secret. Then, Black is also their friend(they seem to be best friends) How would they explain it?

Bianca seemed to have and idea. She said," Okay, we'll go to our rooms and talk about this! It's top secret!" "Bianca!" Cheren looked frantic. Bianca dragged him took one second for me to understand. BIANCA!

I squeezed my eyes shut and clenched my fists tight. You could have just lied, Bianca! Anyway, I followed them to their rooms in the pokemon centre .Bianca then started telling Black and White all that was supposed to be a secret! Cheren was shaking his head while I was totally downcast.

"You mean that Jiao and er… Faolan are beings that came here during the Cosmic light incident that happened about two days ago?" White gasped. She held out the paper. " Researchers on astronomy and pokemon are flooding to Nuvema Town where the now called Cosmos Light incident happened. Professor Juniper and some other researchers who bore witness denied that nothing extraordinary happened other than the burst of light as shown on the picture…" There, a full-color picture displayed a beautiful spectrum of light hovering above the lake water. Ribbons of light spiraling from the source of the light , connecting two forms of light to the source. Can(Chinese)… now I would be hunted by reporters. It'll be better if I kept out of the public eye now.

I opened my eyes and raised my head to see Black and White. From what I heard, White owned an agency, an ADVERTISING AGENCY of some sort. I hate advertising agencies, and now, they would be giving a lot more trouble than I thought.

"You. Will. Not. Reveal. My. Identity." I spoke darkly to them, placing the pressure on every word. Everyone in the room gave a gasp of shock. White yelped. What now? "You-you're eyes..." Bianca stuttered.

Black hurriedly put up his hands, "Hey, chill, chill! We know we can't let the whole world know who you and Faolan are. We'll keep our mouths shut! We promise!" White nodded her head in agreement.

Fine, you can't just assume that people would betray you for money, besides, all who knew my identity were about maybe fourteen years old. I'll let them off this time. I take a deep breath and relax.

"I'm going to challenge the Striaton Gym tomorrow, I'm going to get ready for it." Cheren shrugged as he left the room. Bianca and Black yelled together, "Hey, we are going to challenge the Striaton Gym too! It's not only you, Cheren!"

"In fact, I've already got the Trio Badge," I grinned as I took out my shiny new badge. Black and Bianca stared at it. "You got a badge on your first day? That's fast!"

I left the room hurriedly, wanting to leave the previous situation behind. Faolan tagged along, just like always. Bianca's words replayed over and over again in my head. "You-you're eyes...". What about my eyes?

Part of this fanfic is based on the pokemon special manga. I decided to use that as I feel that it will be good for this story. Imagine a kid who's being viewed as an alien by people having her identity as and "alien" revealed to someone in an advertising agency! Anyway, please rate and review.
