Chapter 11: Bonnie's first Pokemon
"A new Pokemon" Bonnie thought to herself "Am I ready to take care of another Pokemon?". Bonnie was thinking to herself in her room at the top of Lumiose Tower. It was a rainy day so they Clemont and her had to postpone seeing Ash and Serena for the day. She had tried to think of a specific type of pokemon but all to no avail. She looked at Dedenne on the side of her bed "Dedenne what kind of pokemon do you think I should get?" she asked for the advice of her beloved partner. He looked at her with a confused smile and simply said "Nene ne De Den" which Bonnie translated to "How should I know? You're the trainer!". "Fair enough, Dedenne but still I want my pokemon's opinion. He responded with a bunch of "Den" and "Nenes" which Bonnie translated to "ask Froakie, he may be able to help you considering how long he was in Professor Sycamore's lab". And with that Dedenne turned himself around and fell asleep without another word. Bonnie sighed at Dedenne's unwillingness to help her so she called Froakie out, who looked like he was expecting a battle. "Froakie there's no battle I just wanted to ask your opinion on a new pokemon" Froakie tilted his head like he wasn't happy that she had called him out of his pokeball without having the purpose to battle. "Froakie kie fro" as he looked at Bonnie, reluctant to answer questions. "Froakie" Bonnie asked "what type of pokemon would you like me to catch?". "kie froa" which Bonnie translated as "you're the trainer it doesn't matter to me". She sighed "just like Dedenne" she thought "Alright well, do you think I'm ready for another pokemon?". "Kie froakie" which Bonnie thought was "Do you think you're ready?". Bonnie was getting nowhere with this and laid down on her bed facing the city. She heard a sigh behind her and saw Froakie behind her "kie froa froa" he said as he reluctantly told her what she wanted to here "You know, I heard from Professor Sycamore that there are some strong pokemon on route 7" she exploded with joy with the info on pokemon. "Thanks Froakie!" she said pulling out his pokeball "return". She jumped off her bed and ran too see what Clemont thought of going to Route 7 with her.
Clemont:
Clemont was almost done upgrading Clembot when Bonnie came in yelling about Route 7. "Bonnie how are you going to get to Route 7 without having your pokemon fainting" he panicked but still continued to upgrade Clembot "They don't have enough expierence yet!" he cautioned. "I know, Clemont" she agreed with him which frankly suprised him. "Oh good" he said continuing to work "I want you, Ash, and Serena to come with me" and with that a part of Clembot that he forgot to fix exploded. Their hair went up all poofy with smoke and oil covering their faces. A second passed "Bonnie, you're going to use your friends to get you to Route 7. That's irresponsible!". Bonnie glared at her brother and responded coldly "Hey! I wasn't using anyone. It would be there choice. But even if they didn't come, I'd still go!". They had a standoff for a moment, he looked at his older and expierenced eyes as a gym leader to stare down his younger sister who's eyes had the determination and fire as any new trainer. He would not back down. They continued their glares somehow becoming even more piercing. Clemont would not back down. He used every bit of his being to glare even harder at Bonnie who was starting to glare harder to. Clemont WOULD not back down. He continued to look at Bonnie with the same eyes "Bonnie" he said in a dark,manly voice "You can go". He backed down. "Really, Clemont! Yes finally you aren't a big bother anymore" she said happily. "Yeah, you're a pokemon trainer now so I have to let yo... did you say brother or bother?" he asked curiously. She ignored the question and ran to the door waking up Dedenne "Let's go Clemont!" she called impatiently "We got to get Ash and Serena, and then I'm going to catch my first pokemon!" she raced out of the room. "Wait Bonnie! It's still raining" he cried out "Shouldn't we wait for it to stop?". It was all in vain though, Bonnie was already heading outside while Clemont was struggling to get his pokeballs ready and finishing his progress with Clembot. It took forever for Clemont to finally see his sister but by that time, she had already gotten Ash and Serena with her. So, with Ash and Serena joining there little "journey" they were off. "Just like old times" Clemont thought to himself.
Bonnie:
By the time they had gotten to Route 7, it had been about 2 hours. So it was reasonable for them to be hungry, as none of them had had breakfast or lunch. Not to mention that it was 5 o'clock! Naturally, Ash was the first one to complain "Ahhh, when are we gonna eat!". Serena patted his shoulder and sighed "Soon. As soon as we finish here we'll eat". He stopped complaining and gave a long "hhh" although he wasn't happy about it. Bonnie found this funny and decided to intervene "You're such a...". Before she could even finish Ash put a hand over her mouth "Bonnie please!" he begged desperately "For the sake of my sanity (and everybody who hates the black and white anime) do not EVER say that. Okay?" she looked at him not as a rolemodel or champion of a Empire but as a.. pycho? "Ah. Okay, sure". "Thank you" he breathed heavily. He looked at Serena and Clemont "Same for you two. Please never say You're such a kid ever". Serena and Clemont looked at Ash strangely but both said "got it". He nodded and walked again leaving all of them wondering what the hell had just happened.
They had walked along Route 7 for a couple minutes before they encountered her first pokemon. As luck turned out, they encountered a Croagunk. Bonnie smirked at her first find of the night and pulled out a pokeball "Dedenne let's rock". Dedenne came out with a very motivated "Ne ne". "I shouldn't waste any time" Bonnie thought to herself "Dedenne, use Play Rough" she called out. "Bonnie wait" Clemont called out "That move is..." he didn't get to finish as Dedenne smashed into Croagunk with it's superior speed, strength, and level. And to Bonnie's horror and shock, Croagunk disappeared. "What?!" Bonnie and Dedenne's faces went white in shock "It disappeared! I didn't even get to throw a pokeball" she pouted. Clemont went up to Bonnie and tried to explain that fighting type moves are super effective against fighting types and that since Dedenne had superior speed, strength, and a higher level; Croagunk stood little to no chance against Dedenne. She wasn't happy to stay the least, "Clemont, you're telling me that I have to think about what moves I have to use to catch certain pokemon" she said, still not understanding. "Uh, yeah Bonnie. It's never that simple; Why do think every trainer gets a starter pokemon before they stary their journey?" Clemont answered trying to be kind in trying to explain the obvious to Bonnie. She looked at them oddly "Oh, I no wonder Ash hadtrouble all the time with catching new pokemon; he had to think!" she thought outloud. "Wait, you guys thought I was dumb" Ash said sounding hurt. "No, no Ash you weren't dumb" she said reassuring him "You were just a little... dense". "Oh" he said looking a little better "But what about..." he didn't finish as Bonnie was eying a new pokemon, a Smeargle.
Unfortunately, Smeargle along with more than 12 dozen other pokemon were no match for Dedenne and Froakie. Clemont had suggested to stop for dinner and Bonnie had reluctantly agreed. Clemont cooked potato soup and Serena made some cake. They had just sat down to eat after a whole day of not eating. A wild Ducklett appeared and fired a Water Gun at them just as she was about to take a bite of her soup. That was the last thing she wanted to happen on a bad day for her. She sat up with the others looking at her with a nervous look. She had rage in her eyes as she glared at the Ducklett "You will pay" she belowed. She drew her pokeball, "Dedenne, destroy it" she called. Ducklett sweat dropped at the sight and started to fly away, but Bonnie was having none of it. "Thundershock" she yelled with surprising rage "and make it hurt". "ne den ne nene" he called as he fired one of, if not thee, most powerful Thundershock at a poor Water-Flying type. A lightning bolt bolted (no pun intended) across the sky charging the Ducklett. It hit Ducklett with alarming speed and strength, it sounded like a giant bug zapper annihilating an even bigger bug. Everyone ran after the blast and entered a small field with a crater in the middle with smoke and fire exiting the crater with a all-but-dead deapfried Ducklett in the middle laying on her stomach. There were many pokemon looking at Dedenne in fear from his display of power and some pokemon looked at him in anger for what they did to their friend. But one pokemon, a flabebe, came up to Dedenne and hugged it. It then floated up to Bonnie and sat on her shoulder and gave her a side hug. Both were confused but from the show of emotion, especially since the others didn't seem to share the same opinions as this particular flabebe. Ash looked at Pikachu, who was on his shoulder, and Pikachu tried his best to explain to Ash what was going on. Ash spoke up "Pikachu says that Flabebe is saying that Ducklett bullied her all her life and never let her get strong. And since you trained Dedenne,Bonnie. She wants to join you to be strong like Dedenne." Ash said explaining the circumstances. She smiled at Flabebe in delight "Really Flabebe? You want to come along with me?". Flabebe smiled and jumped off Bonnie's shoulder into the air, as Bonnie pulled out a pokeball. "Welcome aboard" she tossed it into the air, hitting Flabebe in the process. The pokeball fell to the ground; it wobbled once,twice,thrice(is that a word?) and...
Click!
Bonnie ran up to the pokeball and jumped into the air with Dedenne by her side "Alright!!!! I just caught Flabebe!!!!!!!". She looked at everybody who started congratulating her on first catch. "Great job, Bonnie" Ash said as he high fived her, "I'm so happy for you Bonnie" Serena hugged her, and Clemont was to busy crying teard of joy to say anything. "Alright, Flabebe come on out" Bonnie called excited to talk with her new pokemon. Flabebe camr out with a "Bebe" and started flying around them and the group of pokemon around them. They stopped being shocked for a moment, and decided to beat Dedenne up to avenge their friend. Clemont noticed this and decided to bring it up "Guys, maybe we should formally welcome Flabebe later" he motioned to the pokemon charging their attacks. They started backing away and when they were almost out of the field Adh had the bright idea to yell "Run!!!!" and resulted in a 1/2 hour long chase along Route 7.
Clemont:
It had been a long walk home that night. After they had properly met Flabebe they had walked home. It was almost twilight when they were in a small forest just outside of Lumiose City. Even though it was a rainy morning; the day turned out good with a gentle breeze. The forest was known for being a tourist area at night, however their did not seem to be any tonight. It was funny, even though this forest was not on any map, people seemed to visit it at any chabce they had visiting Kalos. Although, to be fair besides Lumiose City there were not many well known tourist sites and structures. Clemont was tired from the day, so it was definitely a good day the forest was quiet. "Maybe to quiet?" Clemont thought to himself. Ash must of picked up on the vibe of the forest too and broke the silence "It's too quiet." Ash stated "Where are all the pokemon?". Clemont used his brain to think "Well" he started gaining everyone's attention "The pokemon are friendly and have interacted with humans since the days of AZ. So that means what?". They looked confused until Ash answered "That means they aren't scared of us", his answer was spot on; it suprised Clemont a bit. "Correct Ash. Also the pokemon here don't normally shy from other pokemon ,especially when it comes to battle, so what does that mean. Ash?". He thought and responded back "They aren't hiding from a pokemon and..." his smile turned into a frown of realization "And whatever is making them hide is VERY tough and appears even SCARIER".
"Thank you, Mr. Ketchum for that absolutely terrifying description" said a hooded figure with futuristic looking goggles with a evil smirk on his face. He looked at all of them with a shine in his eye, like a fallen angel. "I been waiting for this moment for a long time." he continued harshly. He then pulled out a pokeball "I hope you don't disappoint".
