Chapter 10: Another Friend, Another Rival

Chapter 10: Another Friend, Another Rival

"When you smashed those two rockets like they were a rock being kicked, wow, that was amazing from how far they went. It would take months to find us again." I said to Nidoking. I was interesting in the pokemon, along with every other pokemon that is out there, I know I am annoying, but you just have to live with annoying people and someone has to take that spot, and I am willing too, annoying Mike is my nickname, okay it isn't.

"Uh, thanks, next time I will wack you if you continue to annoy me." It responded as he bared his teeth growling.

"Why do you talk English, that is just really weird." Kyle said nervously looking at Alison who was walking beside him.

"As I said, I was just born with it." It responded.

"Fine I will get off the topic." I said even though I did not want to get off the topic of how a pokemon knew engliush, well I did not want to be the first flying-ten-year-old who went to the moon by a angered Nidoking using Iron Tail on me.

"Maybe Nidoking and myself should go and find Eevee, like split apart."

"How long?" Kyle asked Alison.

"How long it takes for me to find Eevee."

"Please do not leave!" Kyle asked.

"Kyle you can come with us."

"You are not leaving me alone!" Mike shouted. No one likes the feeling of abandonment, I always was left behind in things, and I did not want to be left in this.

"Yeah he will lead everyone to insanity." Oh thanks Alison, thank you, this is not Big Brother where I am alone for who knows how many days ina house with idiotic people. I am now insane, yey, annoying and insane!

"Kid, the one with the weird brown hair want to battle?" A kid asked. He had balck hair, he was wearing a red shirt with a ehite jacket over it. It had a pokeball logo on the top pocket He wore tan khakis.

"I do not have weird hair and sure, I will battle, and my name is Mike, yours?" I said.

"The name is Uri, I am one of the three loser trainers from New Bark Town, the one Professor Elm starts off." Uri responded sarcastically.

"Mike you are going slow, a town behind." Alison commented and rolled her eyes.

"How about a um, lets see, a two on two? One on one, lets make it your choice, Mikey."

"AH! Do not call me that!" I exclaimed, I just hated to be called that, Mitchell use to call me that, my rival, the one who stole my pokemon and stuff and tried to throw it down a cliff (See Chapter 2! You should of known of what happened by now if you are reading this! Amph!) This is someone I met, I guess it was okay, maybe it was okay, uh. No comment, "Two on Two, I shall say."

"Right, one three we release our pokemon." Uri put his hands on one of the pokeballs on his belt, I did with mine. "Three. Two. One!" Uri shouted. We both threw our pokeballs.

"Go Charmander!" I shouted.

"Beedrill I choose you!" Uri, my opponent shouted. Yes I got the type advantage, too bad Charmander does not obey me, that may be a problem.

"Ember now!" Charmander growled as he ran at the Beedrill, "NO!" I shouted.

"Twineedle now!" Beedrill shout out little needles from his bottom stinger, its main and most powerful one. Charmander shot a ball of embers at them, the needles being burnt and no longer existing.

"Now Ember!" Charmander took a deep breath as he released a stream of fire at Beedrill, this game is over! Caterpie just popped out of the pokeball as everyone paid attention to it. The pokemon glowed as it evolved into Metapod, it then immediately returned into its pokeball. Everyone just raised a brow, uh, now back to the battle!

"Beedrill return!" Uri shouted as he returned his bee pokemon. Charmander began to glow, oh no not two evolutions in one day! Wait, yahoo! Charmanders form began to change as it fully evolved into Charmeleon.

"You may have a Charmeleon now, but it is no match for…Totodile!" Uri shouted releasing his beginning pokemon, "Rain dance now!" Totodile began to dance around weirdly as the sun was blocked with clouds as water began to pour down, Charmander let out a shrieking cry as it was starting to use its HP.

"Flamethrower!" Charmander shot out a ball of fire from its mouth, it immediately was destroyed by the eater from the rain dance.

"Water gun now!" Totodile released a stream of water, the rain from the rain dance formed around it making the attack huge into a big ball of water, it was then shot at Charmeleon, it was successful at fainting my newly evolved pokemon.

"Poliwag I need you!" I shouted releasing my first pokemon, Poliwag, the two water pokemon glared at each other when they saw each other. The water covered them, but they did not mind.

"First pokemon against first pokemon, this will truly show who was training more, well in the beginning." Alison said and nodded. She was on the side of the field watching the battle.

"Bubble now!" Poliwag shot a stream of bubbles, dozens and dozens, but they were kept on being popped by the pelts of rain being shot down by the rain clouds Totodile called upon.

"Slash now!" Totodile jumped up, its claws extended as they seemed to shine even more than they did before, the Pokemon slashed Poliwag with one of its claws then it turned and slashed him with the other, it landed a few feet to the Poliwags right as it faced it heads back at Poliwag. My pokemon gave a shrieking cry as it fell on the ground, fainted.

"That was not as fantastic as I thought." Kyle commented.

"I been training shorter than you and I beat you easily." Uri said and smirked as he began to walk away into the distance.

"You were lucky" I shouted as he walked off into the distance, he returned Totodile, he rian immediately stopped.

I stood there, being soaked in rain. I returned my fainted Poliwag as I watdched ihm walking off, I then returned over to my friends who were ot really in shock, "You are the weakest link…Goodbye!" Alison said and giggled once she said it.

"That was so not funny." I commented rolling my eyes.

"It fit the part though." She commented as he splaced her hands on her hips.

"Uri wait up!" I shouted as I ran trying to catch up to him, I wanted to ask him something. He stopped as he turned over to me, he placed his hands in his pockets as he made a grin on his face.

"What is it?" He responded.

"Do you want to join us on your journey, well um, maybe jus tto Azeyla Town, we are kinda of, uh, how can I say this --- lost!"

"I may be your friend, but I am your rival, I am going to decline." He said as he turned his head baxck towards the road and walked off.

"So you won't mind if I just follow you, I mean you are going the right way right?"

"Actually, I am also lost, the lost only finds more people whom are lost."

"That is not true." Alison interrupted, "The rescue teams find the lost."

"She tries to be a know it all, don't mind her." I said looking over at her.

"Well we are going to be lost together if you like it or not, buddy 'ol pal." I said as I placed my hand on his shoulder. He picked up my hand and threw it off of him.

"I travel solo! S-O-L-O I do not want to be pestered."

"Well you know where you are going, ahuh, I know you do, so I am going to follow you because I am going where you are going."

"You are so annoying! A-N-N-O-Y-I-N-G-!"

"Did he win a spelling contest or something?" Kyle whispered into Alisons ear, they both made a little laugh.

"I cannot wait until I capture my fifth pokemon, it is going to be great, I want a grass type because Kyle took my miracle seed. (Chapter 8 :D) and I wanted something, but I never see a grass pokemon, sure I walk in grass, it does not mean I WILL find a grass POKEMON, I think they like to hide or something, maybe they got something against me because one time, I was just playing with the grass while my coach at soccor camp, do not ask why I was there and I yanked out a Oddish from the ground, it was really weird, it kicked me in the nose, as it broke, so I threw it into a tree, where it got pissed off, I think it absorbed me or something because when I woke up it past three days and I had a broke nose, and I was in a hospital bed, it was really weird and the oddish was not even the same color it was. Well I just need a grass pokemon, not badly, but it will be nice when I find a pokemon which is weak against grass." I babbled to Uri, I was trying to get to know him.

"My Family gave me a Bulbasaur for my birthday after I got Totodile, end of story." He sighed.

"Wow you parents are nice, my mom did try to get me a Pinsir or a Dratinin once when we went to Celadon for vacation, but she got into a gambling problem at the Casino, apparently she had a enough to get it and one of those cool 'Tm' but she then wasted it all in some games, that is when she got a gambling problem, it really sucked because I actually pre-ordered by Dratini when I stole my moms credit card, it was like a lot of money and when she found out she was really pissed. She usually is, I think she had moodswings or is just really pissed off because our coffee machine keeps on braking somehow when this guy fixes it and coffee gets all overf her, and then she has to buy a knew dress, and wait for a sale, she is the weirdest mother."

"My mom or dad does not have gambling problems, they got it at a breeding center when they found it there, left by some trainer who had to leave to become something, which pokemon could not be."

"When I went o Goldenrod, I told you I went there right, well we went to the breeding center, and I did get a Goldeen that was just there and had no one to give it too, so I kept it as a goldfish, I actually forgot to feed it for a month until I relized I kept it in my suitcase, it is a boxy suitcase which had my bowlof water, I have no idea how it fitted, all I know it was dead from lack of air and from starvation."

"You're dumb."

"You're tired."

"Leave me alone."

"Go to sleep."

"I will."

"When?"

"When you leave me alone."

"When is that?"

"Soon, when you will hit a tree."

"I don't see a tree."

"Just leave me alone." He said and sighed. I just raised a brow in response. It was already getting dark.

h

"Wow, I did not know that we became such great friends in course of this beautiful day. Well we should go and get some sleep, it will be nice and hopefully you will not go through a mood swing tomorrow or some sort of problems you are having with relationships and family."

"I am not having a mood swing! And I am not having problems with my friends and familys, I just cannot believe I am being followed by a complete idiot!"

"Whos that? Do you have a pet goldfish like me?"

"YOU!"

"I am not a goldfish."

"Just. Shut. Up!" Uri stopped as he threw his bag onto the ground. I stopped, alonf with Kyle and Alison. We took out our sleeping bags as we unravled them. We unzipped them and went into them to go to sleep. The End of the day and todays adventure.
