New friends
She awoke by soft music tingling in her ears. What's that? She thought. She trew her blankets of her feet, and stood up, with her light-pink gown falling on her feet. She lifted the oversized pyjama in her hands and walked towards the sound of the music.
Everyone was sleeping already, but she always slept lightly. She tried to place her footsteps as soft as she could, but the wooden floor made a funny sound under her feet. She quickly ran out the room where Cassidy was snoring in, and ran trough the hallway. It is coming from the boy's side! She thought. Well, since I'm already this far, I can just as well go trough with it.
She walked towards one of the rooms, with a fancy door, unlike the rest of the doors. It was the sound of a piano, and Jessie thought it was beautiful. She softly opened up the door, peeking towards it. She thought she had opened it without much sound, but the boy in it immediately stopped and looked over his shoulder. Jessie quickly pulled her head back, praying that he hadn't seen her. I'm not even allowed to go here! She thought. I'll get punished for sure when he finds out that it was me peeking in his room... Suddenly she felt the door open where she had been leaning on. 'I'm sorry if I disturbed you with my music...' A voice said, strangely familiar. The door opened, and out came a cute boy, atleast to Jessie. She hadn't planned to have any friends here, except for James, because it didn't fit in with her plans. She was going to be a Pokemon trainer, and then master, and maybe even a gym leader!
The boy had long black-purple hair, with big emerald eyes staring at her. 'Hey!' He said, hard. He immediately freaked once he realised that he had just shouted trough the quiet hallway of Pokemon Tech on 2:00 at night. He pulled her in his room and quickly closed the door. 'You look familiar...' he said suspiciously. 'Yeah, same here', Jessie said, still hypnotised by who the boy was. 'Now I remember!' The boy shouted again. 'You are the girl who liked Jiggly!' Jessie pulled a hand over his mouth. 'Not so hard!' She hissed. The boy nodded, realising he was still holding her hands. He quickly withdrew his hands, blushing. 'Sorry...' He stuttered. Jessie smiled. 'Now, tell me, who's Jiggly?' The boy smiled too. 'You don't remember?' He asked her. 'I was trying to catch a Jigglypuff, then you came. You were at the same age as me, and very little.' He chuckled, as Jessie got a vein popping out of her head. 'I'm not little!' She bursted out. Now it was the boy's turn to put a hand over Jessie's mouth. 'Ofcourse you're not! Not anymore. Remember, you were at the same age as me, and everyone was little when they are 5 years old', he whispered. 'Now be quiet, okay?' Jessie nodded her head. 'I remember! You're name is Rino, right?' She asked. Rino nodded again. 'Did I wake you up by my piano playing?'
'No, I just thought it sounded pretty.' She said. 'Besides, I'm a light sleeper, so you... actually, you DID wake me up!' 'I'm sorry', Rino said. He walked towards his bed, and searched under his pillow. He pulled out a ball, like the one the Rockets had with them and called Pokemon out. Jessie immediately stepped a few steps back. 'Don't attack me!' She pleaded. 'Please...' She fell on her knees. I guess what happened before got me more as I thought, Jessie thought in herself. Rino quickly let his Pokeball fall on his bed and hugged her nervously, trying to comfort her as best as he could, without actually touching her much. He didn't think she'd appreciate it, but Jessie hugged him back so tightly, that he almost couldn't breath any more. 'I'm not going to attack you', he whispered. He took his Pokeball from the sheets of his bed and opened it by pressing the round button in the middle. A bright flash of light came out, revealing a round Pokemon. As the light faded away, the Pokemon revealed himself to be pink. 'It's Jiggly!' Jessie softly spoke trough sobs. She got out of Rino's embrace and hugged Jiggly, sobbing on it's soft rubbery skin. However, the pink Pokemon began to sing immediately after it's release from the Pokeball. Rino and Jessie fell asleep on the floor right after the first tone was heard.
After that, Rino and Jessie became good friends. They went to rearrange their schedule with the principle of the school, to be able to spend every class with each other. Thunder met Jiggly, however, they didn't became good friends. Actually, the opposite happened. Thunder and Jiggly immediately wanted to fight after Jiggly pulled Thunders' tail and Thunder releasing a devastating thunder attack on the poor balloon Pokemon. 'Jiggly...' It moaned, right before it began to sing. However, Jessie and Rino thought it was really funny, until they got affected by the song also.
It was another day at Pokemon tech, a fabulous school, with hundreds of pupils, excellent teachers, and Pokemon math... Jessie and Rino moaned the second teacher Raica came walking into the class. Jessie at first had liked her, because of her name, but when she found out what Pokemon Math was, she didn't like her any more. It was indeed a horrendous class. It was about calculating the damage done by a Pokemon at a so and so level, which caused the Pokemon of a so and so level to have so much/few damage. It depended on the Pokemon type, it's level, it's attack, it's species, and ofcourse the same for the damage-receiving Pokemon. All the pupils where very cheerful and all of them were paying attention, except for Jessie and Rino. They almost fell asleep. Actually, they did that with every class. Jessie didn't like Pokemon Tech at all. She just came to it to get some decent food, but she could have easily bought some of her own, she thought afterwards. She decided to stay anyway, because of Rino, and of the James, the boy who had promised to meet her here. She hoped he would come eventually. Come on, Jess! She thought to herself, this isn't a friendship you can have with both guys, can you? While Jessie continued to think about this, Rino was making airplanes of paper. He trew them into the class, but unfortunately, it landed on the desk of the teacher, Raica. The teacher immediately stopped talking about why the Spearow wouldn't do 25% damage to Pidgey's with wind-attacks, but more, at level 25 for the Spearow and level 2 Pidgey. She turned her head slowly towards the bench Rino and Jessie were sitting at. They sweatdropped and looked at Raica. She looked at Rino, then at Jessie, then back at Rino. 'Rino, I don't like your face today, so I'll take the chance and send you to the principal! Now get out!' Rino whined a little at against Raica, of how unfair it was, but no prevail. He muttered while he gathered his things and walked out of the room, slamming the door on his way out. The teacher had a bad mood the rest of the day, but continued like nothing had happened.
A couple of years, it continued like that, until they were 10 years old. James wouldn't come, Rino would be send out, while Jessie thought which friendship she should stick with. Rino or James. Rino made the best chance, as he was with her all day, all the time, and James wouldn't even come to the school! Well, I don't blame him, Jessie thought. I don't like this school one bit. Then she smiled, thinking about why she was staying here.
Later, all the pupils could catch a few Pokemon, to start out with and begin learning the basics of Pokemon training. Jessie and Rino, who had snuck in their Pokemon, already knew some things and made their teachers look like idiots, training them, as the teachers expected them to be bad at that also. Jessie and Rino pretended to catch Thunder and Jiggly, while they whistled and walked towards a next place to catch some Pokemon. 'Do I have to put them into those balls?' Jessie asked Rino. Rino smiled. Jessie was so childlike sometimes, but he liked that. He liked her, and constantly was thinking about her and how they would be as a couple. 'If you want the Pokemon not to walk away, because if you ask them to stay with you, they'll run like idiots!' 'Hey!' Jessie pouted. 'Fine then.' She said, angry. 'I'll take this then.' Jessie took all the balls out of Rino's bag, and marched away, stamping the ground. Rino sighed. 'Jessica! I'm sorry!' He yelled, as he ran to catch up with her.
Afterwards, Jessie had tried to catch a Pokemon by asking them if they would want to come with her, but they were already been hunted on by other trainers so that they would run away as soon as they saw a movement. Rino, however, had used the Pokeballs and had caught a Ponyta and a Flareon. Jessie was still angry at Rino. 'Now I haven't caught a Pokemon, my best friend is a jerk, and I'm hungry. Just great,' she muttered. Rino was walking behind her, still trying to get Jessie to talk. 'Jessica, I'm sorry... Please stop walking... I'm tired now, please...'
'Shut up!' Jessie screamed as she suddenly turned at Rino. 'You are just the whiniest person I've ever seen! You should be happy! You're rich and fancy parents got you into this school, and you can always turn on them when you flunk out of the Tech. But I don't! I don't have anyone besides you and Thunder!' She quickly ran away in the woods. 'Aw, come on Jessica! I didn't mean it like that, I was only teasing you!' He ran after her.
After 15 minutes or so, Jessie fell on the ground, sobbing. Rino, who was right behind her, caressed her back. 'Sssh now,' he hushed. He pulled her in an embrace, much like the previous one they had, nervously. 'Here', he said, holding out a Pokeball. 'You can have this one.' She hugged him tightly, whispering: 'Thank you.' Softly. She pressed the button on the Pokeball and out came the shape of a medium sized, Pokemon, much like Growlithe, the Growlithe of James. Jessie couldn't believe herself. She was thinking of James while he didn't even show up, and Rino did everything for her? He had to put up with her rotten attitude, and her whining about her past. From now on, she thought, I'm going to live in the future.
Rino had given her the Flareon. She immediately loved it very much, as it was 'fluffy and cuddly'. Unlike Jiggly and Thunder, Flareon, which Jessie named Flammie, and Thunder got along very well. However, Jiggly and Flammie got along very well too. Rino's Ponyta, which he didn't name, for if he did, the fire-horse threatened him that he would kick him into the next year.
Jessie and Rino were training in training class, with their Thunder and Jiggly, who always wanted to fight with each other. 'Thunder, use your body slam!' Jessie yelled. Thunder jumped up in the air, and fell towards Jiggly. 'Jiggly, dodge!' Rino yelled at Jiggly, 'and then use your roll out!' Jiggly jumped up in the air, but when he had to roll, he began to sing instead. 'Oh no...' Rino moaned, as he stretched his arms and fell on the floor, snoring. The rest of the class fell asleep too.
When everyone awoke, the teacher was so mad at Rino, that she immediately sent Rino to the principal, with a note that said, well, probably a bad thing. Rino walked slowly out of the classroom, after he had recalled Jiggly. Jessie had a bad feeling about it. Rino had been sent away many times, but maybe this time it was too many.
Indeed, Rino was sent back in the class to gather his things that he left when he went to the principal. The teacher had written that he had trained Jiggly in a way, that when he ordered it to 'roll out', he was actually ordering it to sing. 'But...but that's not true!' Rino said, weakly. He knew they wouldn't believe him anyhow. So he was ordered to gather his things and leave as fast as he could. Now he stood before Jessie, known only as Jessica for him. 'Jessica, I'm so sorry...' he stuttered, shyly. 'I know you don't like it on this school, but you have to go trough with it. You will get a good job later, and a great live. I'm sorry.' Jessie just nodded, sadly. 'I know you have to go', she said, her voice trembling. 'I just want you to know that you were the best friend I have ever had... t...thank you.' A tear dripped from her face, as she kissed Rino on his cheek. Rino blushed bright red, and ran out of the classroom. Jessie was so sad, she thought she would never see him again. Ever. Then he ran back, his face still red. 'I... umm... forgot my things.' He quickly picked up his bag and ran out. Jessie was surprised that she had kissed him. Okay, it was on the cheek, but it still counted! Or didn't it? She was only ten years old, and it was just a peck on the cheek. But still...
A few days got by. Like in a dream. She only had her Pokemon now. Cassidy was constantly teasing her, with all of her friends. 'How romantic', the said sarcastically, 'Jessica kissed Rino on his cheek...' They sighed. Jessie just shrugged it of and walked trough. She didn't care if Cassidy didn't like her. She sure didn't like Cassidy! Then she saw a fight in the middle of a field. Everyone was gathered around in a circle, which was the common sight if there was a fight. Jessie pushed trough the crowd. She saw a lavender-haired boy, with shoulder-length hair being kicked into oblivion. Jessie immediately recognised him. 'James!' She yelled.
She awoke by soft music tingling in her ears. What's that? She thought. She trew her blankets of her feet, and stood up, with her light-pink gown falling on her feet. She lifted the oversized pyjama in her hands and walked towards the sound of the music.
