Chapter 4: The Little Cup
I woke up from my sleep. I was in Jacks' arms, curled up to him for warmth. I made a little yawn. "You up little buddy?" He said and smiled. He put me down. He took off his bag and started to make a fire using to sticks. He then put a pot over it with some stew inside to eat for breakfast.
Sentret and Spearow were already up and exercising. They both had smiles on their faces and giggling. "Hey guys. " I said. "Hello" They both said at the same time. "Jinx" Sentret said that meaning that Spearow has to be quiet until someone says his name three times.
"Breakfast guys" Jack said while pouring soup into 1 of the three-pokemon bowls he had out. They were now full of the beef stew. We all went there. "Spearow come! Spearow! Spearow come now please." Jack said. Spearow then made a sneer at Sentret and flew to his bowl.
I looked at the stew and lowered my head slowly. I sniffed the stuff, and it smelled pretty good. I licked the soup then I shouted. "Rattata! Are you ok...I know its a little bit to hot." Jack said. He gave me some water to drink. I drank some of the water and had my stew. The stew was great, it was better then the stuff that I got when I was wild. Basically eating some wood when I'm really hungry or some Caterpies. Whatever I can find.
"If you are done, then lets' go, Cherrygrove is only a half an hour walk from here." Jack said happily. Sentret on Jacks left side. I went on Jacks right side. And Spearow sat on his shoulder. He smiled then began to walk again towards Cherrygrove.
The whole half an hour I was thinking how my life changed so much in the last two days. Getting a trainer, making friends, and making a pokemon believe in its self. We were there at the city of Cherrgrove. It was a small town, but it looked huge to me. Every roof of each building was a red for some reason. There were also flyers everywhere. Jack took one of the pole and read it:
'On May 26 2001 Cherrygrove City, sponsored by the famous Pokemon League is hosting the little cup. It is a tournament that a trainer uses three pokemon and goes up the ranks. This is only for rookie trainers for pokemon on level five only. The prize will be a months supply of pokemon food, a private hour chat with Lance, and pokemon supplies for the trainer to get more pokemon and to make his pokemon strong as they can be.'
"Wait...It is May 26, maybe I should sign up" Jack whispered to himself. He walked to a dome. It was dome shaped on the top but like circular walls going up to it. The dome was made out of glass and was colorful. Jack walked inside.
There were thousands of people in the stands looking at the arena that was made out of sand with a pokeball sign drawn in the middle. The desk was in the entrance to the left. "I would like to sign up, if that's possible?" Jack asked. "Sure, it will begin in a hour, just fill these forums." She said.
Jack took a marker and signed up the forums. He reading things out to him like "Pokemon using, Hometown, Pokemon Nicknames, Item will be using with a certain pokemon, and etc."
Jack finally filled them all out. He placed the forums on her desk and gave it to her. He was directed to go into the locker room where the contestants will stay if they are not in battle. Jack was shaking, he was nervous, but I was even more nervous.
Jack walked into the locker room and saw about only 30 or so trainers, including him. They were all rookie trainers. There weren't many rookie trainers out there; you're only a rookie until you try to fight for a badge. They were all stroking their pokemon and telling them positive things. They all seemed pretty nervous to.
This would be my first battle. The only battle I did was when I fought the Spearow. But he was on a lower level and I knew what to do. But now I am going to battle against another trainer and his pokemon that is on the same level. I was shaking; I curled up on the bench next to Jack. I just hope that I make Jack proud and I tried my hardest. But I was scared just to go out there and battle. Only if I had experience of battling...
The other trainers' pokemon were probably thinking what I was thinking. I just realized that they are rookie pokemon to, they never was in a major battle before. This made me a little bit more, calm.
Sentret was worried also, but Spearow he was just flying around like he can do whatever he set his mind on. I told him that. It's my turn to stop worrying and just try to do my best because that is all I can do. I got out from my curl and sat down taking deep breaths and staying calm.
