Pokemon Vengence Chapter 5
-------------------

Mai jumped up and down "We won!" She hugged the starmie, than suddenly regained her composure. She held out the pokeball calmly. "Starmie, return. Good job." she snapped the ball shut and returned it to the pouch. She walked in between the two other trainers and carefully looked each over. She pointed to the cloaked one, "You. What's your name?"

He pushed back the hood, revealing tousled black hair, "I am Shigeru. Of Saffron City's fighting gym," [{(I'm just gonna use the english names, it seems easier for people)}]

Mai interrupted him and pointed to the otehr trainer, "Hey, and you?"

He finished giving his Fearow the freeze heal, then clamored up onto its back to leaave, "I'm Yujiro. From Celadon! Come on Fearow, let's go to Pewter."

Mai looked up. "Pewter? That's where I'm headed! Please, Yujiro, take me so I don't have to go alone." He pleading eyes looked to be on the edge of overflowing with tears.

Yujiro's nose twitched, then he finally gave in. "Oh, fine. I'll take you, but don't get in my way."

Mai jumped and clapped her hands, "Thank you!" she climbed up behind him and hugged her arms around his waist.

Yujiro rolled his eyes, then made a clicking sound with his tounge, "Let's go," the bird raised its wings, took a few hopping steps, then was soaring. In a few minutes, the buildings of Pewter were obvious on the horizon. The Fearow swung down and landed in the barest outskirts of a forest. Yujiro called her back, put his hands in his pockets, and calmly walked away, wihout a word.

Mai ran after him, "Wait! Arn't you going to at least say good bye?"

"Bye." he kept walking.

"Fine then." Mai pushed by him, "Thanks for the ride." She turned and stormed off in teh pokecenter's general direction, but couldn't help but glance back at the slender boy. Even though he looked like he had endured 40 years worth of travel, he couldn't have been much older than her. She sighed, and walked away.
