As Emerale would say, I'm going to kick it up a notch. Corny? I know.
My so-called skills were improving greatly and I have had normal conversations once in awhile with Naktu. Really! But don't think I'm going all soft on you now, no way of a snow ball's chance in hell of that.
Actually the best part about Pokemon trainers' lives are battles. No, not the easy ones the, the ones with a challenge. Such as Jiggly vs. Hopip. Jigglypuff was however much stronger than the small hot pink Pokemon.
Notice how pink fluffy Pokemon are attracted to me like magnets, I sure noticed.
Sugar and spice mixed with everything nice, but you Pokemon better be fast or I'll kick your ass.
Isn't that a lovely motto of mine? I always liked it. Anyway one particularly cloudy gray that stood fresh in my mind. Of course I wasn't happy but I usually wasn't happy. Surprise, surprise. I was dipping my feet in the water having a light conversation with Naktu for once. Today's subject happened to be about Sabrina, the saffron city gym leader. Beating a physic Pokemon wouldn't be easy.
"Do you think I could do it?" I wondered aloud.
Naktu smiled and said: "Of course, Sabrina will run in fear from you, just like when you round kicked the guy from the mini mart there."
I chuckled. What a way to get to know someone, by robbing mini marts.
I began to explain to him about my tactics, element types and weaknesses but I stopped when I realized it was all going right over his head.
"You really have tons of time to yourself to think about that, no?" he told me.
"I guess you're right. But why are you even following me around still."
I was even being nice to Naktu today I guess I was less moody without PMS.
He shrugged like he always did and said: "Lack of anything else to go or do it's not like I'd want to return home."
"It's your call." I said indifferently I never did require many details of a whole story, you may have guessed from reading.
"I really don't want to live here much longer I really have to think of something, damn it looks like it's going to rain again Saffron City is so AFU with everything even prices." I said miserably
"Saffron isn't the most hospitable place." Naktu said spitefully.
I jumped out of the water and scrambled backwards I saw a shadow under there and most shadows under the water aren't friendly.
"What the hell?!" Naktu shouted.
The shape grew closer to the water and rose up.
"Dragonair!" it announced I didn't even bother pulling out my pokedex for useful information.
This one however looked different from the others. It's eyes where a bit duller but I took no notice to that. There was that familiar tingle again.
"One is most impressed."
"One is pleased."
"Hopip!" I shouted and tapped the round red and white ball to the ground.
Think, tactics, I'd try a direct hit first, it seemed logical.
"Razor Leaf!" I cried out.
The Hopip threw the attack at the giant sea pokemon, which it dodged and stayed in the same position, still looking at me.
"It must be really stupid." I muttered. But then something clicked with me.
Physic pokemon can't hurt pokemon with no minds.
Quickly I hurled my poke ball at the Dragonair. It didn't even wiggle inside of it and it was instantly caught.
Naktu mock golf clapped at me causing me to eye him and he stopped because he knew what wrath I could bring upon him.
My day wasn't over yet. I complained about petty thieves before and I shouldn't of because I met team rocket and they where no joke.
"Stop in the name of Marh, team rocket is here to crush you no joke." A masculine voice said stepping out while another came out.
"Surrender or be beaten to your worthless death." The other said.
They where both male and tall. Black uniforms and daunting grim faces.
"I, be afraid of you? Ha." I said bitterly.
"We do not ask, we destroy." The first one spat back.
Quickly an Entei and Dragonite came out.
My face turned pale quickly.
I'm not stupid, I grabbed my pack and bike Naktu and I hopped on my bike and rode the hell out of the forest.
"So team rocket isn't a joke." I said huffing from using up most of my energy.
Naktu made no comment and I didn't notice. If only I had. Something was wrong then and there and I failed to notice what would happen and I regret that the most in my life more than anything. But I can't say "If only" my whole life.
But I had other things to think about I was at the door of the Saffron Gym. I was going to face Sabrina.
