"Kaori....Kaori...hey!"
A voice interrupted the girl's thoughts
"Y-yes
Mrs. Blaire?" She stammered. Her music teacher laughed
"You
were off in dream world again!" Kaori grinned sheepishly
"Yup!
Guess I was...." Mrs. Blaire had curly brown hair down to her shoulders
and glasses. She was hardly slender but not fat. Kaori thought Mrs. Blaire was
the greatest teacher on the planet. She was so nice to her. And she learned so
much from her. "I was just thinking about how lucky I am to be here and
have you for my teacher!" Mrs. Blaire blushed a little
"I.
Oh! OK I'm not mad at you. Just right now try to keep your head out of
the clouds. You do have a solo in the concert," She tried to look stern
but as usual it didn't work.
"I
know I know. I hope I'll do good," She looked at the ground
"I
know you will. You're better than any student I've ever had. Don't tell
anyone I said that!" Her teacher added with a smile. Kaori smiled back.
"I
wont" One thing she loved about this class was she was the only student.
Usually Mrs. Blaire didn't teach fourth period but she had made an exception
for Kaori. She thought the other two choir classes in 7th and 2nd period.
"Lets
run through it again now" So Kaori and Mrs. Blaire worked on her solo for
the rest of the class. Then the bell rang and they said their goodbyes.
"See
you tomorrow"
"Bye!"
Kaori called and rushed out the door. Mrs. Blaire watched her smiling
"Remarkable
child" She said to herself and then readied herself for her next class.
Kaori
walked down the hall with a smile on her face. She knew today was gonna go ok.
Her next classes were History, L.A, and Science -science being worst because of
her awful teacher Mr. Steinback-
"Three
more classes... four more hours" She mused to herself
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"-And
I got the solo too!" Kaori was telling her family at the orphanage about
her day over dinner.
"Wow!"
Said a boy next to her named Bryan.
"That's
Marvelous!" Cried Mrs. Hazel. Mrs. Hazel was not one of the mean ladies
who run trashy orphanages, you can find in books. She was -apart from Mrs.
Blaire, Kaori decided- the nicest person you could hope for to take care of
you. Kaori smiled happily
"So
you sing a whole song by yourself?" Asked her friend Anne
"Well
kind of... Everyone else backs me up and I sing a soprano solo -I'm a
soprano of course- which means I sing something different from anyone
else!"
"Whoa!"
"Yup!"
Kaori laughed and he gaze fell on the clock "Oh my gosh! I'm gonna
be late!" Last week she had scrounged up just enough money to see the
Kimono Girls perform. "If I don't go now I'll miss the show!"
"It's
a long way to Ecruteak" Agreed Mrs. Hazel
"'Specially
if ya gotta walk! Bye everyone!" Kaori raced out the door. She wouldn't
have time to take the main road so she ran straight into the forest, -she knew
it as well as the back of her hand- and onto a path. She took up a brisk walk
keeping an eye out for night pokemon. She sighed. She was never able to take up
pokemon but she had wanted to when she was ten. All of the children in the
orphanage wished they had pokemon. There was not a single one who did. Kaori's
thoughts were interrupted -as they often were- by a strange sound.
"Huh?"
She looked at the ground and gasped
"eon?
yaawwn?" The smallest espeon she had ever seen looked up at her. His dark
violet eyes were delicately framed in long lavender strands of silky fur. The
moon shone on the little pokemon and lit it up like tarnished purple metal.
"Espy?
yaawwwn?" It held up a paw timidly and she saw that he was hurt.
"Oh
are you ok?" She gently reached down and took the small paw in her hand to
look at it. The little pokemon yelped and teleported a few feet away.
"Uh..
I'm sorry!" Kaori said. Espeon swished his tails around angrily.
"Esssssss..."
He hisses
"I
was just trying to help...."
"Peon!"
The pokemon was gone.
"Wait...?!"
She looked around but it had teleported away out of sight. Kaori sighed. It was
hopeless. As well as she knew the forest; she'd never find him. All Espeon had
trainers. That one would find his and they could heal him. Anyways she had to
get going or she would miss the performance. She reluctantly kept walking, Her
thoughts drifting off to the evening show. Suddenly there was a high-pitched
yelp from somewhere in the forest. Thoughts of the Kimono Girls fell out of her
head and were replaced with ones of the espeon. She dashed into the woods at a
dead run and found the little pokemon. He was even more beat up and a huge
noctowl was stalking around him. Kaori gasped.
"S-STOP
IT!" She yelled at the noctowl and threw a rock at it. It hissed and
clacked its beak. Flapping its wings it started moving in on her. "GO
AWAY!" Kaori threw another rock and the bird growled lowly. Without
thinking she sped around the bird and to the espeon who was lying on the ground
immobilized by the noctowl's sharp beak. She grabbed up the pokemon who
squeaked faintly and ran as fast as she could in the direction of Ecruteak.
She
could see the town. It wasn't far away but the huge noctowl was flying behind
them angrily and was gaining fast. Kaori knew she had to fear for her own life
as well as the pokemon's now. The noctowl was so big....
"HELP!"
She screamed as she ran out of the forest still pursued by the noctowl
"HELP! I NEED HELP! SOME ONE PLEASE! HHEEELLLPPP!!!" She gasped for
air and ran straight to the pokecenter without looking back. She thought she
heard the sounds of battle. Hopefully someone had stopped the noctowl. She
burst through the door of the pokecenter
"Espeon...need...help....now!"
She collapsed on the floor breathing hard. Two chanceys ran over and grabbed
the espeon and Nurse Joy after them to see if Kaori was ok.
"Are
you alright?" She asked helping Kaori to her feet
"I'll
be fine," She said shaking slightly. "Will he be?"
"I'm
not sure... how could you let him get like that? He was near death!"
"I'm
not his trainer. I found him in the woods"
"Oh?"
Asked Nurse Joy curiously. Just then a chancey ran out and started barking at
her.
"Chan
cey chancey chan chan chhhaann!!!" It grabbed its face and spun around in
confusion.
"What
do you mean it's to young?" She turned to Kaori "It says something's
wrong with the espeon. It's too young. It's at level 4. All eggs
are born at level 5 and eevees aren't wild,"
"Yeah
I know," She said confused. Though she didn't have any pokemon of her own,
her knowledge was almost as much about them as a Pokemon Tech student from her
studies at Gwerty.
"Hmm.
Follow me please" Kaori did. Nurse Joy led her into the room where espeon
was. It perked up its head and looked at her happily
"Hello!"
The little pokemon grinned his jewel glittering with energy. Kaori fell back in
surprise
"You
can t-talk?"
"Essy?"
"Only
a few words right now but it does seem quite smart. I bet it will know how to
talk soon" Espeon sprung of the table towards Kaori and fell to the floor
with a thump
"What
the... are you ok?" The pokemon flattened his long ears and winced
"Esspeeonn.."
He slowly got up and looked at Kaori again
"Hello!"
he said happily lightly waving his tails.
"Uh
hi.." She carefully picked him up and stroked him with a small smile
"He is so cute" She laughed. He sniffed her hair and stuck his tiny
face in hers
"Hello!"
He grinned so big it forced his tiny eyes closed.
Hi
there!" Kaori laughed and kissed his nose.
"Well,"
Said Nurse Joy smiling "We'll have to keep him here for a couple of days,
give me your name and phone number. In two days we will take him to see
professor oak about his age and after that he's all yours!"
"M-mine?!"
Kaori stammered and almost dropped him. Espeon looked up at her and cocked his
small head to one side.
"Mine!"
He said happily "Mine! Mine! Mine!" He leapt onto the table.
"Hello!" He said to a chansey
"Chancey
chan?" The chancey asked
"Mine!"
"You
mean I'll get to keep him?!?" Asked Kaori turning her attention back to
Nurse Joy
"Of
course!" Nurse joy smiled at her
"Now
please give me your name and number and then you better get to your show"
She said eyeing Kaori's ticket "I think its already started but you
can still get in!" Kaori scribbled down her name and phone number. Then
she said goodbye to Espeon and went out the door practically skipping with joy.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
She
could barely concentrate on the Kimono Girls's performance. She always watched
the one girls espeon.
"Espeon..."
She whispered to herself.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
When
she got back from the show she went straight to Mrs. Hazels room. Mrs. Hazel
was reading.
"Hello?
Oh Kaori! How was the performance? Did something happen? You look a
little-"
"Mrs.
Hazel!" Kaori cried, "I got an Espeon!"
