Disclaimer: I wanna own it!!!!!!!!!!! WWAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! THEY SAY I CAN'T HAVE

**In a forest near Cerulean**

"I thought you said that there were Pikachu here." I say to Calatain. He just shrugs.

"I said that was what I heard." He replies. Zuberi is riding piggyback on Chan's

shoulders. Michiko is in my arms, looking around. After the incident this morning, I decided to

keep them apart for a while.

"Daddy" Zuberi says.

"I'm not your daddy..." Chan says for the millionth time. Zuberi just laughs.

"Daddydaddydaddydaddydaddydaddy" (You get the idea..)

"What?" Chan says groaning. Michiko laughs. Zuberi finally stops.

"What's that thing?" Zuberi says pointing. We all look in the direction she is

pointing. Half hidden in the bushes is a Vulpix. It looks hurt.

"Oh!" I cry. I put Michiko down and go over to it. Calatain comes over after grabbing

something from his bag.

"Look at you... hey, what's this?" I pull out something metal which is around its leg.

It is some kind of trap. "Calatain, help me get this off." Even with the 2 of us, we can't get

it open. Chan and Machoke come over and help, and we finally get it off. Calatain gives it a

full restore. Then he picks it up. The Vulpix licks his face.

"Thank you." The translator gives the Vulpix's voice a female sound. Calatain looks

down at her.

"You OK now?" He asks her.

"My leg still hurts..." Calatain smiles.

"We'll get you to a Pokemon center and have you back to normal in no time!" Vulpix

smiles.

Michiko puts her front paws on Calatain's leg trying to see. Vulpix looks down at her.

"What's your name?" Michiko asks. Vulpix looks at her strange.

"Name? Why would I need a name? Isn't that a human thing?"

"My name Michiko!!" Michiko looks really proud of herself. Vulpix still gives her a

strange look.

"Why?"

"Because it means Beautiful Child, and Ariana thinks I'm beautiful!!" She says. I

can't help noticing that her speech the past few days is becoming more grown up.

"That's what a name is?" Vulpix is confused.

"What did you think it was?" Calatain asks her.

"Well, trainers I see call their pokemon "dumb", "stupid", "useless"..." We look at

her, new understanding coming to us.

"That isn't names, that's insults. Those trainers obviously didn't take their pokemon

training seriously." I say. Vulpix looks at me, then at Calatain.

"I wanna go with him." She says, and licks Calatain's face again. Calatain blushes.

"Can I have a name too?" Calatain smiles, still blushing.

"Sure, but why don't we get you fixed up first." We head back to the city and the

Pokemon Center.



***Pokemon Center***



Nurse Joy comes back with Vulpix. "She'll be fine. She'll be limping for a couple of

days, but there is no need for a cast. Just take it easy, and no battles for a week." Calatain

picks her up.

"Thank you." He says. Vulpix licks his face again.

"Can I have name now?" She says.

"We have to find something good for you... hey Ariana? Could I use that laptop for a

minute?"

"No one touches the sacred laptop." I say.

"Protective are we?"

"You haven't seen the half of it..." Chan says. I just groan.

"If you won't let me use it, could you look it up for me?"

"Sure. What do you want it to mean?"

"Any preferences Vulpix?"

"I dunno...fire?" she says. I start searching...

"Let's see... we have... 'Fiammetta'"

"Too long... and complicated." Calatain says.

"Sounds weird." Vulpix adds.

"We also have 'Hourig'"

"That's a girl's name?"

"No."

"There is only one other; 'Huo'"

"Huh?"

"What does it mean?"

"It means 'fire' in Chinese." I say.

"I like that one." Vulpix says.

"Then that is what it is." Calatain says.

Zuberi goes over to her. "How come you were playing with the metal snake?"

"I wasn't playing with that thing. I was walking and it grabbed me." Huo says.

"Who would want to trap her?" I wonder out loud.

"Team Rocket comes to mind..." Calatain says.

"Yeah, they would be that dumb... well, she's safe now." Calatain puts her into a

pokeball, and then collects his others. I gather my pokemon as well. Zuberi refuses to go in by

hiding under a table. I just shake my head. Chan goes over and picks him up.

"Wanna stay with daddy." Zuberi says. Chan groans.

"OK." As we leave the center, I decide that I want to go shopping. We go into a gift

shop. Zuberi and Chan start looking around. I go over to the figurines. I pick up one that is

a glass statuette of a man and woman together.

"This would be a great present for mom and dad." I say to myself. I look over at the

toys, and notice Zuberi is loving that section. Thankfully, he isn't grabbing the stuff. I find

some toys that Linna and her Eevee would love. I pick one up. Zuberi, of course, gets jealous.



"How come Michiko gets presents?" he asks. I sigh.

"These aren't for Michiko. They are for my sister and her Eevee." I explain. I think

for a moment. "If you want, you can pick out ONE toy, but you also have to get one for Michiko,

OK?"

"Yeah!!" He starts searching for the perfect toy. I go back to looking. In the book

section, I find Calatain looking at a few.

"Hey Ariana!" He says laughing. "Check this out!" He holds up a book called "Pokemon

Training for Idiots". I start laughing.

"Oh, that is so perfect!!!" I take the book from him. "My brother is going to love

this..." :)

"You love your brother so much huh?" he says. I roll my eyes.

"Oh, yeah... he is pissed that Chan can beat his pokemon up. Actually, he used them as

target practice." I smile at the memories. I am starting to feel a little homesick.

"Well, let's get this stuff paid for." As we walk up to the counter, Zuberi comes up with

his choices. He is carrying a beach ball. That's it. I look at him.

"I said you had to get one for Michiko too." I remind him. He just looks up at me.

"I did. We can all play with this!!" he replies. I smile.

"Good boy." I tell him. I look over at Chan, who for some reason is trying on

sunglasses. He looks over at me with a pair on. They actually look good on him.

"If you want them get over here." I say. He walks over and hands me the glasses. When

we finally get up to the counter, I also get some boxes so I can send my family the gifts I

bought them. As we are leaving, I deflate the beach ball and put it in my backpack. Chan takes

his sunglasses and puts them on. Zuberi loves it and starts laughing. Chan just sighs. I stop

at the post office and send the packages. Then we go back to the forest and start searching for

an electric again.





Done for now. See ya later!!
