Hello everyone and welcome to chapter two in the story! It's been a while
since I added to this, but keep in mind I'm still not fully active. In
other words be grateful for me posting anything. I would like to make one
comment before I begin chapter two, and that is about Sakura. Basically I
didn't think her up until the end of Pokemon High, and that was because I
needed a daughter for Misty. I think the mother/daughter appeal really fit
the scene that I wrote out, and also the last main star of pokemon was a
boy. Change can't hurt, too much. I hope everyone enjoys where I go with
this story, but I must say I'm disappointed. Unlike the last installment,
you will probably get a general idea of what is going to happen. Poor me I
can't keep glued to your seats as tightly as last time. Oh well, here's
chapter two!

Chapter 2- Greeting A Partner
Sakura's opened the last pokeball on the pillar before her, but like all the previous balls, this one was also empty. She turned to her heel to face her uncle and she took note that he was still smiling at her. "I'm sorry Sakura, but that pokemon was chosen by a trainer who got up on time." Gary said in the same mocking tone that he had used for her last two choices. Sakura bit her lip. Her uncle wouldn't lie to her would he? Then again, all the pokeballs were empty.
"Gary aren't there ANY pokemon left?" Sakura asked. Gary smiled and pulled out a pokeball from his lab coat. "Of course there is Sakura, but you didn't ask for this one." Gary told her as she took the pokeball from him. Sakura stared inquisitively at the ball in her hand, but no matter how hard she looked she was still clueless. "So what kind of pokemon is it?" Sakura questioned, and her uncle only sighed.
"Well maybe if you let it out you'd know." Gary said mockingly, "You do take after your dad way to much Sakura." Sakura pressed in the button on the pokeball and released the pokemon. "Come out, come out, whoever you are." Sakura chanted out loud, and as the red beam from the release disappeared as her new pokemon greeted her with a chirp of 'Evee!'.
Sakura laughed as she scooped up the furry little pokemon in her arms to hold it at arm length. "It's adorable!" Sakura said as she gave it a small hug, "Gary is this a pokemon you bred?" Gary smiled as he walked over and rubbed the pokemon's head affectionately. The pokemon was nuzzling Sakura's neck affectionately, and it seemed to dislike being interrupted.
There was a small snap before Gary cried out in pain. "I see it knows 'bite' already." Professor Oak commented, "That's a good thing." The Evee returned to nuzzling Sakura as she surveyed the damage to her uncle's hand. The skin hadn't even been broken. "Well you sure are outspoken." Sakura said as she raised the pokemon's head to face her. As she did so she noticed it has a solitary white spot of fur under it's left eye.
"I think I'll give it a name." Sakura said as she stroked the fur on her pokemon's head, "I'll call you Nip. Do you like that?" 'Nip' only started to purr as it enjoyed it's petting. Gary reached back into his lab coat and retrieved a pokedex for Sakura to use, and he handed it to her carefully. He made sure to keep his hand away from Nip, but the Evee didn't seem interested in him at all now.
"It's already registered to you, so you can use it anytime." Gary explained to Sakura as she held onto both her live and electronic cargo, "Also, you might want to borrow some items from your father. Evee doesn't have to use a stone to evolve, but you might want to use a stone when that time comes." Sakura noted that her uncle had mentioned seeing her father.
"Well I hadn't really planned on stopping at home before leaving." Sakura said, "Do you really think I should?" Gary motioned for his niece to follow him, and as she walked with her uncle through the lab he began to explain something to her. "Sakura you should say goodbye to your mom." Gary explained, "I know you're a little more responsible than your father, but you have to keep in mind a pokemon journey will mean different things to different people."
"What do you mean by that?" Sakura asked, and Gary smiled. "Well I know you're on this journey to decide what you want to do in the future, but your dad went on his journey to become a master outright. He took a lot of risks since he was in such a hurry, and there were a lot of times he almost got killed because of it. I'm sure your mother will be thinking about that while you're gone."
Sakura frowned and lowered her head, and that action was greeted with Nip pawing at her face affectionately. "I didn't think about mom worrying like that." Sakura said. "I don't think that will be THAT bad of a problem." Gary said as he tried to comfort his niece, "After a week she'll realize it's Ash's fault she's worrying, and then it will be ASH'S problem."
Sakura laughed as she pictured her father getting chased down by her mother with a giant mallet. "Thanks Uncle Gary." Sakura said as she set Nip down in the doorway the two had come upon, "I guess a quick stop at home would be best." Gary gave his niece a hug and patted her on the back. "Just remember I can always give you advice on dealing with an Evee okay?" Gary told her before he let her go.
"Yeah, of course I will." Sakura said. Then she turned towards Nip and smiled brightly at the bushy tailed mon'. "Want to get a snack before we begin Nip?" Sakura asked, and Nip yapped at her to voice its approval. Sakura waved goodbye to her uncle as she left the lab, and only minutes later she was almost home. Nip was at her ankles as she ran.
Misty was fretting at the breakfast table as she continued to pick her food apart. "Do you think she'll get into any battles before she reaches Pewter?" Misty asked her husband, "I know you did, and they were pretty hard on some of your pokemon." Ash moaned and bowed his head. "Honestly Misty you're acting like you're my mother." Ash said lamely, and he was hit over the head with a mallet a second later.
"I'm nothing like your mother so you'd better just shut your mouth." Misty warned Ash, and she took her plate to the sink to clean up. She just couldn't eat. Ash meanwhile rose from the table and embraced his wife from behind. "I only said you were acting like my mother." Ash whispered in Misty's ear, "You're much sexier when you act like yourself." Misty blushed slightly as she set her plate in the sink.
"It's the middle of the day. Don't start anything." Misty scolded her husband, but Ash only laughed at her halfhearted warning. "So what, the kid's gone for a while remember?" Ash asked, "I've waited for this since she was twelve." Misty smiled as she leaned into his grasp a little more. "Yeah, and now you don't get to use that shotgun on any boyfriends she dates." Misty teased.
Ash started to kiss her on the cheek as his hands wandered from her sides. "You talk too much." He breathed into her ear. Before the moment could get any farther however there was a ring from the doorbell. Ash sighed and let his wife go. "Now I get to use the shotgun on the mailman." Ash threatened. Misty laughed lightly as she imagined him doing just that.
Ash walked to the door and opened it roughly, but he was greeted with only open air. "What the hey?" Ash questioned, and he was about to turn around and go back inside when he heard a distinctive shout of 'BANZAI!' before a furry foreign object was thrown into his face. Nip shrieked as Sakura threw it forcefully into Ash's face, and instinctively it thrust out its claws to grip the nearest object.
Ash screamed in agony and Sakura yelped as she tried to unglue her pokemon from her father's face. "Nip I'm sorry please let go!" Sakura wailed as she pictured the scolding soon to follow this accident. Then, she heard her mother. "Ash is something wrong?" Misty asked, but she gasped as she saw Sakura pulling Nip free from her husband, "Oh it's so kawaii!" Ash sighed as he rubbed his sore face lightly.
"Yes, HE is I guess." Ash stated bitterly, "Sakura you decided to put your mom's mind at ease then?" Sakura nodded as she picked the now calm Nip from her mother's arms. "I only wanted to say goodbye before I leave, and I figured you should both see Nip." Sakura explained, "I know it seems rude, but I want to get going now."
Her parents didn't seem upset however, but Misty's eyes were clouded in unshed tears. "I'll miss you honey." Misty told her daughter as she embraced Sakura in one last hug. Sakura sighed as Nip looked up at the two it was sandwiched between. "I love you two mom." Sakura said, and Misty released her daughter. "Okay honey you can go now." Misty said as she smiled at her daughter.
Ash cleared his throat to remind them of his presence. "I suppose she doesn't owe her pop a hug now does she?" Ash asked his wife, and Sakura laughed as she gave Ash a giant hug. "I'll miss you two dad." She teased as she got her hair tussled by her father. Ash released his daughter a moment later, and then Sakura left. Without looking back, well without looking too much, she exited town and started down the path to Pewter City.
Sakura walked along as Nip was beside her, and she started to stare at the little brown pokemon trotting at her feet. "Say Nip, just what do you think about my being your trainer?" Sakura asked the pokemon, and Nip only cocked his head at her. Nip didn't answer, so Sakura decided to try a different question. "Well, I'm not entirely sure I'm going to be a trainer. I was thinking about becoming a breeder, but I also might want to be a trainer. That's why I'm here with you anyway, to see what I am."
Nip thought about what Sakura had said for a moment, and then a smile played it's way across the pokemon's face. 'Eve!' Nip called out. He jumped up into Sakura's arms and licked her on the cheek. She giggled at its display of affection.
**Pardon me folks, but it's seems there is a slight infestation in the fic. Please allow me one moment. BANG! BANG! Stupid hentais! Don't you ever die! BANG! BANG! Please enjoy the rest of the fic while my gauss rifle recharges. (**
"I guess you're behind me all the way then?" Sakura asked Nip, and the pokemon only nuzzled her neck in answer. "I guess I should give my all then!" Sakura said as she clenched a fist in a show of determination, and then her face brightened as a thought came to her. "HEY! Maybe I could even become a master like my dad! Only I'll do it in a year!" Sakura said as Nip looked up at her face in confusion.
Sakura continued on her way while she thought out loud about the adventures she could have with her pokemon. It wasn't until she was deep inside the Viridian forest that she realized something very important. "Umm, Nip have you been keeping track of which way we've been going?" Sakura asked, but her pokemon looked as clueless as she did, "Oh no, then if that's the case." Sakura trailed off as she remembered the other argument her parents talked about having in their youth.
"I'M TOTTALLY LOST!" She wailed, and as she continued to scream a group of nearby pidgeys took flight into the air.
~Fin.
This chapter still isn't as particularly long as I would like it to be, but at least I got it put up for you to read. Next chapter Sakura meet's uncle Brock, but she also bumps into the boy Brock let take over the Pewter gym. Thank god he's not Brock's kid, or else Sakura would have to mallet him for a match. Also, did I mention team rocket is in this fic? Lol, yes it's possible!
