Chapter 17: A New Adventure
"Dullsville." Sighed a discontented girl. (Maia.) (You were the one who wanted to go on this cruise.) "Yea, I know." Maia and her pet Eevee, Daylite. Are on a cruise/trainer boat that left Vermilion this morning. "The only good thing about this trip, so far, was meeting you, Daylite." (Yea.)
It was a Tuesday. 'Yesterday I met Eevee.' 'Nurse Joy was hysterical about something.' 'For some reason she kept talking about the kid who was taking the blame for the rest of his friends.' 'Going on about how he didn't deserve to be friends with anyone.' 'He took one Eevee while the other four was supposed to go to his friends.' 'But it seems that one of this boy's friends already had an Eevee, so he couldn't keep one or something.' "Oh well, Daylite you got to come with me and that's all that really matters!" (Yes its true!) Eve!
From what Daylite had heard from his new friend and trainer. She had just turned 13 two weeks ago. So the law where she came from said she could only at that age become a trainer. Maia had little bit past shoulder dark purple hair. And deep purple blue eyes. She was wearing a sleeveless blue shirt and shorts. From what he had seen Maia was a kind, but determined person. She lived in Vermilion but that city had no real Pokemon professor. When Maia came by the Pokemon Center like she usually did, Nurse Joy had given him to her. Also Nurse Joy got her signed up as an official Pokemon trainer!
"Look!" "In the water, Daylite!" "It's a kid!" Maia was surprised and shocked. "Gotta hurry!" In seconds Maia had gotten a long piece of rope from her backpack. She tied one end around her and the other end around the rail of the ship. "Daylite watch out for things up here!" And with that Maia dove over the ship's rails and in to the water.
"Hey kid!" "Can you hear me!" Maia had reached the body of the boy floating in the water. She reached him and wrapped her arms around his shoulders to keep him afloat. He seemed to be coughing a little bit. 'That's a good sign.' She thought to herself. "Hang on, I'll get out of here in a second." 'Oh great how do I get us back up to the ship?'
"Daylite help!" Eevee? (What can I do?) "I don't know but do something!" Just then the rope that was holding Maia to the boat rail snapped! SNAP! "OH NO!" Maia and the boy she was carrying were flung further out in the ocean. Then a rainbow light came from the distant ship.
Maia and the boy were floating in the air. They then started floating toward the deck of the ship where her Eevee was. When Maia and the boy landed she saw not an Eevee but an Espeon! "Daylite you evolved to rescue me!" Maia was overjoyed. "Hey, what's going on? Let go of me!" Maia realized she still had her arms around the boy. She quickly let go.
"Why did you save me?" The boy asked her. "It was the right thing to do." She replied. "I didn't ask for your help." "Look, here mister you would have died if it wasn't for me!" "Is it any of your business whether I died or not?" "Listen here I saved your life." "You're point being." Maia was shocked. Here she had saved this guy's life and he didn't even seem to care! His monotone voice gave her the creeps. But he seemed like a normal kid to her. Probably her age. He had brown hair and eyes.
The boy was very quiet. But she hung by him for a reason she didn't know. Probably to make sure he was okay. But he was boring. He didn't talk at all. Just stared out over the ocean. After about two hours of this he asked, "Where are we?" She was kinda surprised when he asked that question. And here she thought he couldn't talk. We are about 10 miles from Vermilion Port. His eyes widened a bit at that. But for just a second. Then they settled back to that intense stare that he used.
"Are you a Pokemon trainer?" She was trying to make conversation. He looked at her. "Once." He said in that no emotion monotone voice of his. "Do you still have any Pokemon?" He gave her a death glare (ala Heero Yuy) then took his backpack off which by some miracle was still strapped to him. He reached in searched for a minute then pulled out a Pokeball. Mashing the button on it he released an Eevee.
"Where did you get that Eevee?" "Why do you want to know." Daylite was talking to the boy's Eevee in Pokemon talk. "Did you get it from around here?" "Like in Vermilion City I mean." "No." "Oh." She suddenly realized she didn't know his name. "What's your name?" He gave her a startled look. But soon gained back control. "Any of your business." "No I just want to know something about you." "I no longer have a name." "That's real sad." "Then I shall call you Seimei, which means to give a name to, Nai, which means no." "That's Japanese." The boy replied. "Yes, Seimei Nai is Japanese." "Fine."
"Your Eevee doesn't seem to like you." She pointed this out to Seimei. "This is the first time we've met." "Huh? Wait never mind." He put a scouter looking thing from Dragonball Z on his ear. Seimei then bent down to talk to his Eevee in a whisper. He must have the volume on his translation set real low so only him and the Eevee could hear each other. "What's your Eevee's name?" "Nitemare." "Wha?" "Nitemare." He repeated for her. "I heard you the first time." "Why a name like that?" "Why did you name your Pokemon Daylite?" "Because it suited the mood I was in at the moment and his." Seimei just nodded to her.
"Where does this boat let off at?" He asked her. "Pallet Town." She was lying to him to see how much he knew. "Pallet doesn't have a port." She was a little taken back by this. "How do you know that?" And as usual Seimei just looked at her. She sighed and said, "It stops at Junjian City." His eyes widened at this. "I can't go there." "Why?" He just gave her his death glare. "Fine, you just stick with me and we'll just go around the city." He nodded his acknowledgement to her.
Seimei walked over to one of the cabins on the deck labeled Hair Care and went in. She waited for him outside the cabin and two hours later he came out. His hair now looked more like the traditional anime style. He now had 4 long curls cover half his face, with the occasional spike in back. But with one quick hand swipe through his hair it looked like it did before. After showing her who he was he changed his hair back to his 'new' style.
Daylite and Nitemare were chasing each other around the ship with the occasional bite of the tail. It then started to become night. Seimei seemed not to care. Around 12 o'clock they reached Junjian Port. They exited the ship together. Once they reached dry land, he led the way through a forest. She was surprised that he knew the way through. 'Guess he's been here before, and has a bad past here.'
After walking for a mile through the forest she asked him where they would stop to sleep. "You have a sleeping bag don't you?" He asked her. She shook her head no. "This is really my second day on my own, and I forgot to pack a sleeping bag." It was true. The day before she had got a ticket to go on the cruise/trainer ship. She was so excited she forgot to pack a sleeping bag. "Here you use mine." And with that he took a bag out of that big backpack of his. Inside was a sleeping bag. "What about you?" She asked him, surprised at his kindness to her. "I'll sleep in this tree." With that he climbed up a tree and fell asleep.
When Maia awoke the next morning she couldn't figure out why she wasn't in her room. Then she remembered, getting Eevee, the cruise, and the kid, Eevee evolving into Espeon, Seimei, and finally Junjian. She looked in the tree and around her for Seimei but couldn't find him. Then she noticed tapped to the tree, gone for supplies back soon. She sighed. He scared her to death. She wondered what she was doing hanging around him. Then she realized she was protecting him. From what? Why? She couldn't answer her own questions.
According to the watch on her backpack it was 9:37 a.m. A little while later Seimei walked up behind her. She jumped, startled, then calmed down after seeing whom it was. He nodded to her. "What did you get?" She asked him. "Week worth of food, a watch for both of us, a sleeping bag for you, more Poke balls, potions, antidotes, Poke food, the essentials." He handed her a watch, and a purple sleeping bag. "Thank you, I really mean it." He just grunted. "Where did you get the money?" He grunted again, but answered. "I got enough money to last a while." "Oh."
"We should continue on our journey." He looked questioningly at her. "Yes, we need to continue our journey." She added with a smile. He still had the monotone voice and the cold eyes but at least he was human. He cared enough to let her use his sleeping bag while slept in a tree.
Around 10 o' clock they had reached Route 3. Walking through the forest they let their Pokemon walk freely. Daylite and Nitemare got along great. At 10:45 they heard noises in the trees and bushes around them. Maia paid no attention but she noticed that Seimei did. After a little while they were approached by five people. They were dressed in all black with black caps concealing their faces. Plus they had a dark red R on their shirts.
"Give us all your Pokemon and your money!" "You must be joking!" Maia said shocked. "No, they mean what they say." Seimei muttered real low to her. "Well not without a fight!" "Come on Seimei!" Then Seimei's Nitemare evolved into an Umbreon! "Ha Ha Ha!" "That doesn't scare us!" Snickered the obnoxious thieves. They released all sorts of poisonous Pokemon from their Poke balls. The battle was on!
The thieves all attacked Daylite. "Help Seimei!" "I can't fight in Pokemon battles." But fortunately Nitemare could. Together they released a Confusion attack that knocked out half the thieves Pokemon. Still there was over 10 left. They battle was over in 10 minutes. Maia and Seimei had lost.
"Now little girl, hand us over your money." "NO!" "Alright we'll just take your Pokemon instead." The thief captured Maia's and Seimei's Pokemon with ease. Holding the two Poke balls in his hand the thief taunted her and Seimei. Maia couldn't take it. She charged right into the thief. "Give those back!" "What cha gonna do about it?" The arrogant punk caught her in a headlock.
"NOOOOOOO!!!!" Maia was sick of this. "Let her go." Maia was kinda surprised to see him stand up for her. "Ah, trying to protect your girlfriend?" He said mockingly. Then a loud shot rang out. "AAHHHHHH!!" "THE LITTLE JERK SHOT ME!" The thieves all gasped. Seimei was holding a gun in his hand! The guy that was holding Maia let go and dropped the Poke balls. "Let's get out of here!" With that the thieves all turned tail and ran.
"Are you okay?" He asked her with a hint of kindness in his voice. She realized she was panting. "Yea, I'm okay." "Thank you Seimei." "You saved my life." She was very grateful to him. "Don't mention it." "I merely returned the favor." With that he released the Pokemon from their captive Poke balls. "Are you guys okay." She asked. (Yes we're fine, but what happened?) "Seimei saved us all." The Pokemon hugged (?) Seimei before returning to their rightful Poke balls.
"By the way, where did you get that gun?" She asked him a little uneasily. He grunted and gave the smallest possiblest trace of a smile. "Why did I even bother?" "I might as well ask a rock." With that they continued their walk through the forest. As dawn came they looked up into the sky. In the sky they saw two rainbow colored birds flying into the sun.
