Hey, guys, I've been keeping an eye on the reviews and just being honest here, my hands started shaking a little and I almost cried. Ever since my situation started my emotions have been a bit up and down, just genuinely shaky, which is understandable due to the stress I'm going through. These stories are actually a way for me to escape reality and basically just not be an adult anymore, I'm a teenager again when I'm writing these and it honestly helps. I've reread the last chapter on the Pokemon fanfic to see where I was at last time, I decided I'm going to skip through the whole Team Rocket fiasco cause I can say with this much that it's kinda hard to write through their normal talk, which is serious, which is why I'm asking if there's a BETA out there that's willing to help me write through them? I really need one. Anywho, let's go through this next chapter, thanks so much for being there with me everyone, really.

Emily sighed in relief when they saw the city of Cerulean, where their second gym badge is waiting for them. She grinned back to Brock and Ash when they walked up to stand beside her along with Pikachu and Emily's Pokemon, she had to keep her newest friend, Sandshrew in the Pokeball because he was damaged a bit when Team had lit up the cave and he was deeply dehydrated. So she was waiting until after they got to the Pokemon Center before she let him out with the rest of her team. "Well gentlemen, shall we head on down to the city?" Emily asked them playfully, all the while grabbing Ash's favorite hat and jogging down the hill with her Pokemon giving the humans amused smirks. Ash and Brock looked at each other for about a second before they started going after Emily, with Ash demanding his hat back all the while.

Emily was leaning on the desk while wearing Ash's hat inside the Pokemon center, giggling a bit when she spotted Brock and Ash run in through the doors, huffing as though out of breath, Nurse Joy had playfully allowed her to hide behind the desk after making sure she wasn't busy with any extra work and getting Cephas healed up. "Man, she sure does run rather fast huh Brock," Ash said to the man who was still wheezing a bit. from the run. "Much faster than my siblings for sure." He said slowly. gaining his breath and back, straighten his back up and started looking around for Emily, eyebrow rising when he couldn't see her. He spotted Nurse Joy behind the desk, ready to heal more Pokemon if necessary, which always made his heart pound at the care she provided for them. It was what he liked in a woman and one of the reason's he would go after them depending on the Pokemon and their condition.

"Hello miss, have you had any chance to see a friend of our's with her Pokemon all out in the open come through here? She made us chase her." He said sheepishly, Nurse Joy just smiled and stealthily winked at Emily who was crouching behind the counter. "No I haven't Brock, maybe she's still out?" Nurse Joy suggested causing Brock to sigh and turn around to face Ash with a shrug of his shoulders. Once Emily saw that Brock was turned, she immediately jumped over the counter and shook his shoulders with a loud "Gotcha!" Both Brock and Ash screamed a bit in surprise before turning to face Emily. Brock had a hand over his chest, huffing a little from the shock. "Don't do that! Jeeze, you act like my younger siblings would do." Brock said and Emily just giggled at his disgruntled expression and made her way around the counter while giving Nurse Joy a grateful smile. "Thanks, Nurse Joy, that was great." She said giggling a little along with the Pokemon nurse. Nurse Joy giggled a bit with her. "Not a problem dear, that really was priceless." She said before finally calming down a bit. Ash looked around a bit along with Pikachu. "Hey, Emily, where's you're other Pokemon?" He asked her.

She looked at Ash and shrugged. "They're currently resting up a bit from all of the action we had with Team Rocket but they'll be ready for the second gym come tomorrow morning, Cephas though will be sitting this gym out considering water is his weakness and whatnot." She explained and Ash nodded his head in response before turning to Nurse Joy. "Do you have any bedrooms available, three at least?" He asked her. Nurse Joy nodded, she went through her desk a bit before she dug out three keys and handed them to Ash, there you go young man, do any of your Pokemon need any healing?" She asked him and Ash nodded, taking out three Pokeballs and sitting them on to the treys whereas Pikachu just hopped onto the counter with a coo and a flick of his ear. Nurse Joy looked at him with a slight surprise. "Pikachu hates being cooped up inside the Pokeball.." He said simply and she nodded before taking his Pokemon to the back room.

Once they got the keys to each of their rooms, Emily turned to Ash with an excited grin. "Well, Ash, what do you want to do right now while we're waiting for our Pokemon?" She asked him. Ash looked to Brock with a pleading gaze. Brock just smirked at him before he turned his gaze to where he spotted a pretty girl. "Well guys, I'm going to do some socializing, you do what you want." He ignored Ash's pleads before he walked off, not before turning to him and gave Ash a thumbs up. Ash turned to Emily with some nervousness, normally they have never been alone before, normally they'd have their Pokemon out with them, Emily especially always leaves her Pokemon out unless they were injured in some way or another.

"I guess we could go for lunch or something? Maybe see the city?" Ash suggested nervously. Emily immediately brightens at the idea and nodded. "Where do you think we should go?" Emily, he asked him. Ash looked thoughtful for a bit, but since he has never been in this city before he grinned a bit and went to Nurse Joy, Emily watching him in curiosity all the while. It was about a minute later that Ash came back and grabbed Emily's hand, making her look at him in surprise. "Ash where are we going?" She asked him when they started running out of the Pokemon Center. "I know a great place we can go, come on Emily, your being slow!" Ash yelled out a bit, causing Emily to giggle and chase after him to their destination.

Brock was around the corner nearby when he heard them shout and shook his head. "They don't even know they even like each other yet. Hmm, maybe I can help with that somewhere in the future, I'll leave them be for now if Ash didn't mess it up." Brock said to himself, chuckling all the while.


Well, everyone, here's the new chapter! Hope you enjoyed it, I know it's a bit short but I like how I ended it don't you? Chapters might be a little more ongoing cause I've been laid off of my job until further notice thanks to this dang Coronavirus. I work at a restaurant as an assistant server and I just found out yesterday afternoon that I'm out of work for a little while. They did say I gotta call on Saturday to see if anything changed, as of right now I'll be un Unemployment benefits and such, I'm also still waiting on my tax money and I don't get my work paycheck until Friday, woe is me and I want to do some grocery shopping, but what can you do about it when everyone is in a panic, comment in the reviews, let me know what's going on at your home? How serious has it gotten? Hope everyone stays safe, just keep yourself clean, stay inside as much as possible, keep your house clean, stay away from overly populated areas with a crowd and you should be just fine, let our hearts be with the elderly though, They're not as strong as some o us can be when it comes to this virus, not to mention the bird flu that just now broke out in China, can things get any worse than it already is?

On another note this is about my story and one review, I will not evolve Eevee(Shade) into Sylvian, cute as it is, it was not in my plan. I want you guy's to guess what Eevee will eventually evolve into just by looking at his nickname if you guess correctly, I'll give you a shoutout in my next chapter. Thanks for reading.
