"Akiko-san! Wait up for me!" Haruki ran up beside her and continued jogging to keep up with her fast-paced walking.
"Why should I?" Akkie continued glaring straight ahead, not once glancing at Haruki as she spoke sourly.
"I wanna meet your father! He's one of the most brillant minds of his age!" At this remark Akkie swerved around to look at Haruki. She grabbed his shoulders and turned him straight towards her so she was looking into his eyes.
"Trust me Haruki-kun. You do not want to meet him." This bit of advice didn't phase Haruki's excitment at all.
"Did he help you pick out your pokemon? Since HE'S your father did you get first pick or anything?"
"He's a college professor for people, not pokemon. And even if he was he still wouldn't pay me any extra attention. Heck, he pays his students more attention then me." She brought her arms back down to her sides and continued walking, a bit slower this time.
"Damn, you're tough to talk to aren't you?" Haruki lifted an eyebrow for a moment but then shrugged it off and continued walking also.
They both walked silently for several minutes, while Akkie slowly wore off her anger at her father by looking around the cave, which, in her opinion, was one of the most beautiful things she ever saw. She kept walking, now happily glancing around at all the crystal and ice, until suddenly Haruki grabbed her arm, yanking her back a few steps. Haruki pulling her back so hard unexpectedly caused her to loose her balance, and she fell on her butt on the ice-covered ground. She winced painfully for a moment then glared at Haruki.
"What the hell's your problem? You could've hurt me!"
"Watch where you're walking! You could've gotten hurt far worse than what you're complaining about!" He had a slightly annoyed expression on his faced as he pointed to the ground in front of them. "Notice any difference?"
Akkie blinked looking at where he was pointing before she realized that he just saved her from a cracked skull or worse.
"The ice turns slippery..."
Haruki nodded slightly, "And here I thought I was the stupid one."
As Akkie slowly stood up and brushed herself off she spoke, softly now, "Now what? How do we get across?"
Haruki lifted an eyebrow at the word "we" realizing that this was the first time she actually included him in her plans. "Well... I guess we'll have to use our pokemon unless you'd rather slide across on your ass?"
"Uh, pokemon. Please."
"What pokemon do you have?"
"I have a Weedle and Pidgey. I doubt those will help too much?"
Haruki thought for a moment, "I'm sure they could do something but... I'm not smart enough to figure it out."
"Well thats just perfect, now ain't it?" Akkie droned sarcastically.
"Well, I've sorta been a trainer slightly longer than you... So I slightly more pokemon than you."
"How long have you been a trainer?"
"Five years."
"Yup, that's slightly longer."
"Well, with me I have my Quilava, Raichu, Pidgeot, Scyther, Golduck, and Pochena." (a/n: for those of you that don't know about the new pokemon being released for Pokemon Advanced, Pochena is a biting pokemon. It looks like a gray wolf to me and its an ice type. Visit www.pojo.com and the pokedex to see it, its the third to last pokemon)
"Pochena? I never heard about that pokemon... Damn, is my head in the clouds?"
Haruki laughed gleefully, "Nah, I just turned out to be one of those lucky trainers to catch a new breed that nothing's known about. I dunno too much about Pochena except that it's an ice type and it likes to bite."
"Let's use Pidgeot to get across if thats okay with you."
"That's fine," Haruki answered as he pulled a pokeball from his belt and pressed the button on the pokeball so a flash of red light filled out to become a Pidgeot.
"Oh, wow," Akkie cooed, "I've never seen such a beautiful and dignified pokemon so close."
Haruki blinked, "It's just a Pidgeot, not an Arcanine or anything ya know."
"Just a Pidgeot? Is that how you talk to all your pokemon. Oh well... You're just a stupid boy!"
"You freak out over the simplest things you know?" Akkie just returned a semi-glare in response.

And thats where I'm finishing off. I'm sorry that took so long, but I didn't start this chapter till I got a review and then I got caught up in sickness, then school work, then more sickness, then make-up work, and now I found barely enough time to finish it off x.x; So.. be ready to make this chapter last till Halloween or something cause I doubt I'll find much time to work on this for a while.
