Chapter 12 – The Accidental Trade –

"I think we are going to make it! I see trees and I think I see a building. Why does this town have to be so buggy?" I shouted from being on top of a tree looking over to see if the town was any closer. We were we? We had been traveling for like two weeks or something trying to get to this buggy town. I don't have a watch, and I forgot my pokegear at home, I realized so I cannot call anyone or check the time using the…using the…using the time checker debit card? I know it is a credit card of some sort.

"No town and no phone!" Alison complained as she looked up at me in the tree, "I don't think you can see anything because…there is a Metapod in front of your face, no wonder it is so buggy? And so pointy…" She said looking up towards me; I did not have a Metapod in my face. Look those yellow eyes looking like he had to little sleep eyes opened.

"Your right!" I then began to wonder. The Metapod just stood there staring at me, as I shouted in a reaction. This making me release my so horrible grip upon the branch I was on, which lead me to fall down from the tree, which lead me to have… Ouch! "OUCH!" I shouted in a reaction as I feel in a bush, feeling the pines pushing against my skin. I scrambled out of it and just back on the dirt road.

"Those Metapods are so mean! And I have a snickering Caterpie! They don't like me, do they? I have a Metapod, don't I? Or is it still a Caterpie, I forgot which pokemon I even have!" Let me think for a second…Caterpie, white light, glowing, DNA changing, shape changing, and wait…that is an evolution! Yes I have a Metapod, right… Yep… I have one.

"The stupidity of him is just endless some time. Actually looking, not staring at a Metapod I mean. Mike, sorry to offend you and your hobby to stare at a Metapod. Well I see the next town ahead; only a few hours and we should be there. Then we can actually eat, sleep, and can get an excuse to ditch Mike for a few hours. Oh wait, did I say that out loud?" Alison commented, and then she rolled her eyes. She put her hand over her mouth and giggled, okay I don't get it. I barely even pay attention. Look, that Metapod is going up and down…up and down on that white gooey string. Ooooooohhh….

"It is good that I don't even try to enter this. I am just here traveling with the one who has the broken compass and the one that cannot keep something in, while I am just here walking around in circles wanting to walk to the next town already so I don't' need to walk on the stupid dirt road for a day or so. My legs are tired, all I want to do is just sit at the Pokemon center and find some pretty girls to gaze at, now is that too much to ask?" Kyle muttered himself as he paced in circles, his hands in his pocket. I am just going to remain silent, as I mean don't comment on his following words… Or should I just hold up my glory of my annoying stupid attitude. Uh I don't need to talk right now, the Metapod is putting ------ me in a trance…

"Lets just go already! I hate standing! It is a weak point for me!" Alison joked as she walked along that stupid dirt road leading to the town, yes there were some dirt roads, but I never can stay in the lines if you know what I mean. Actually no one probably does, just means I cannot walk straight. Well I can, but so many distracting things. A little brown mole, known as Diglett coming out from the ground trying to trip you, it being completely unexpected. Geodudes floating right in front you while it crosses the little brown road. Mareeps running in a line a cross the road, okay I am just making this up now. But the Diglett thing was true! It almost tripped me! Reminds me of my snickering Caterpie…

"The buildings seem to get bigger and bigger." I commented as I walked forward, then backwards. Bigger, smaller, bigger, smaller, oh yes it is good to be young!

"That happens when you get closer to it, then you see its real size. But you came from a little house and probably were stupid top realize how to escape the little town so everything seemed like its normal size. Well it is great you are in the great outdoors, so you can actually know how it is to be normal for once, but I don't know if that's possible. Just please, don't talk make our lives just a little bit better. Let me see a little ray of happiness throughout sometime in my life." The Pokedex muffled in my pocket.

"Don't you remember that you are just an annoying machine? You don't die! You just get destroyed or broken!" I shouted as I put my hand in my pocket and shut the thing shut, as it was opened a little." I shouted in response as I rolled my eyes, okay I have no idea what that thing thinks it is, but it's a machine! Why do I need to get the one that's screwed up, the one screwed up one in the…factory?

"Bugsy is the gym leader for this place, he uses bug pokemon. That is why he is here, after this place is the Illex Forest and it is crawling with bug pokemon, literally. It is nice to see a Bug type gym I mean bug types? They seem so weak and small, but it is nice to see that size and appearance does not matter." Kyle said as we past the entrance of the town, putting his palm of his hand up against his chin. Oh yes, great. I have a bug pokemon, all it does is string shot me though.

Okay, so some more walking. Yey! We were there in the town; I just forgot the name of it. Azeyla, oh yes!

"Wow what's going on over there!" Alison said pointing over to a little group in the center of town, it seemed like some sort of convention. I think, wow there was lots of people.

"Lets go there!" I shouted as I ran towards the little convention going on. Finally we arrived there. There were lots of people, many little trading machines. I looked over at one of the people, "Hey what is this thing for anyway? If you know, some people just come so they feel like the crowd, wait we are in the crowd, but no performance! Let me stop talking and let you start explaining!" I said as I chuckled a little. He just stared at me weirdly.

"It is just for pokemon trainers for battling and trading them. It is just for today though, it is held every year. It is actually pretty known here, since there are some very rare pokemon here. I saw some blonde with a Larvitar! You know how rare those things are? There was some dark pokemon too they are a new species! I saw a Scizor! Oh wow, I mean those are so co---"

Get me out of here, please? I just let him continue to talk about all the pokemon, just slipping away from that weirdo-obsessed person. He was just such a follower; he is not a leading type whom actually does something. He is just gazed and amazed by all the pokemon trainers. I need to battle and do something! I never see so much people in one little area!

"I want to battle!" I complained as I stomped my foot, where was Alison? Uh, okay she is gone. Kyle? Wait he is gone too, I wonder where they went. Well, anyhow I want to battle.

"Where are those two?" I walked around in the crowd, being pushed many times, shoved many times. And screamed at for doing nothing, many times. They did not seem to like me that much.

"Next one who shoves me will get a Slash from my Sandshrew!" I shouted in my head as I took Sandshrews pokeball in my grasp and just held it, my palm getting a little bit sweaty. Ouch! I was shoved. I moved over to my left in a response as I fell a little, "That's it! I won't be bullied around!"

"You go girl." The pokedex commented, what?

"I'm not a girl…"

"It just felt like saying it."

Okay, just ignore the thing. I took Sandshrews pokeball off my belt and held out my arm, aiming it towards the trainer who just shoved me. Ouch! I was shoved again, the pokeball in my hand, Sandshrews pokeball being hoisted towards somewhere in the place. I shouted out in shock, as I could not find the pokeball, maybe it was in the air. "Get out of my way!" I shouted as I kicked the person who shoved me, and the one who made me release the pokeball. I looked towards the trading the machine as it glowed a white for a second. A trainer's hand was over the second slot, it being curved as he was holding a sphere like object. Ouch! I was shoved again. I could not see what the machine was doing.

I was thrown forward, as I growled as I pushed myself back up. A pokeball appeared in my hand as it was sucked to me, maybe it was just on the ground and I landed on it! Well, I found it, and hopefully it is Sandshrew. It is not like anything else could happen.

A person, whom was by the trading machine as he ran off with a pokeball being held in one of his hands, maybe he had to go, made a laugh. I had no idea. I just stared at the pokeball in my hand.

It wiggled a few times, as the pokemon wanted to get out. Why did Sandshrew to get out of the pokeball, it never complained before about being contained? I held it between both of my hands as I saw it wiggle.

A white light emerged from it as a pokemon was released okay it was not Sandshrew! Uh-oh what was it. I pointed my pokedex at the pokemon. It was on its hind legs. Its claws were extended as it had them in some sort of battle stance. It was sort of cat-like. "Pokedex, tell me what this is!"

"Sneasel, it is Mike, and it seems to be yours it says on my database. Traded pokemon in matter of fact. With a traded pokemon you need to prove your strength to it, no not literally as your little brain probably thought of it. As I mean in badges and battling. When it sees you are a powerful pokemon it may obey, but this a Sneasel, it is a dark pokemon and very evil. So it will be hard to get it to trust you, and don't think about giving it chocolates or something as that won't help."

"A Sneasel? Who did I even trade with! Oh god, that must of been my pokeball in the trading machine and that other kid with the black hair must of had a pokeball in his hand as he was just like relaxing, I have no idea where he went though! And why he left, I think I heard his mom calling him, as he was only around my age, maybe he could not be a trainer yet and just wanted some battles!" I shouted, okay so now I have a Sneasel, my Sandshrew was traded with this other kid in this town and I have no idea what to do! This pokemon is officially mine, but it was an accidental trade!

"This pokemon is very rare! I wonder how a simple trainer could have had it. It is a very powerful pokemon and basically impossible to capture since it is very strong and fast. Your lucky, kid." The pokedex said.

"Don't try to act all smart on me. Well let's see, so this pokemon is mine correct? But I don't want it, I earned to have Sandshrew, not this Sneasel, it does not even seem to like me. I want a obedient pokemon, even if it is common." I commented as I returned Sneasel back into its pokeball, as it did not even seem to care that it went in, maybe it just wanted to sleep or something.

"You got a Sneasel, Mike? Sorry we only got to get coke, you want?" Alison said rushing over to me, handing me a coke can.

"Thanks!" Yey, Coke, now I can go on a sugar rush.

(Mike got a Sneasel, very clever boy! I am not letting him give it back to the trainer, if anyone is even thinking of doing such a horrid thing! It is a Sneasel; I would be a Meany and not give it back. He won't either. Well he got one! ^.^ I got the idea of him getting a Sneasel from that person who reviewed asking for him to get a Sneasel, but I won't promise he won't get a request for a pokemon, if you ask for some weird reason. n.n )
