Hello! Well, now onto chapter five! ^_^ BB? You're in this chapter!
No, I don't own pokemon... Do you think I would be putting these stories up
here if I did? ^_^
Well, please read and review!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter Five:
Finally, after a full week of staying cooped up on that boat, I was there!
Cinnabar gym, here I come!
I was actually excited about this. My first pokemon battle as Rubia, would be
against one of the gym leaders... I was excited! No, excited was not really
right... I was ecstatic!
Quickly, I walked about the small town, searching for the one and only
pokemon center in that town. Upon finding it, I rushed through the sliding
glass door.
I was met with the sounds of four or five conversations from the ten or so
trainers waiting in the center at the time. The cool, air conditioned air
was a pleasant change from the hot, humid air from outside, and the quiet
murmurs of the trainers were a nice change from the loud, crowded streets
outside... 'God...' I thought. 'Nearly this whole island is just a tourist
trap...'
Walking up to the front counter of the center, I took my three poke balls
from my dusky, one strapped backpack, and placed them on the tabletop in
front of a smiling Nurse Joy.
Politely smiling, I asked, "Nurse Joy, could you please check to see how my
Pokemon are doing?"
"Yes, of course!" Nurse Joy replied, as she took the poke balls from the
counter. "What is your name, miss?"
"It's Rubia. Rubia Springleaf," I answered shakily. Did my voice sound as
nervous as I felt? I hope to god, no...
"Okay, Rubia!" Nurse Joy said. "Your pokemon will be ready to be picked up
within the next two hours, so you can take a seat, or walk around town for a
bit."
"Sure," I said smiling.
"Okay. See you in about two hours!" She then walked into the back room,
carrying my pokemon and leaving me standing at the front desk alone.
Totally at loss at what to do, I turned and walked out of the center.
The sun was bright, the air was hot, the street was filled with laughter and
the scent of corn dogs clung to the still winds. Slowly walking down the
streets, I made my way though the small city, drinking in the sights and
smells like a cool drink on a hot summers day...
I found myself in one of the many parks that dotted the tropical city, and I
sluggishly strolled about the grounds, smiling slightly at the small children
that ran by playing a tag game...
I guess I wasn't watching where I was going, nor do I think that she was
watching either...
I was hit with a force great enough to knock me off my feet and to the ground
fairly painfully.
"Ow..." I groaned, as I slowly opened my eyes to see what had hit me. Seeing
a girl roughly my age, with long, platinum blonde hair, sprawled out before
me, also groaning, I opened my mouth to voice an apology, but she beet me to
it.
Looking up at me with innocent, baby blue eyes, she said, "Oh my gosh! I
wasn't watching where I was going! Are you all right? I'm sooo sorry!"
Smiling at her worried look, I replied, "Ya, I'm fine. I wasn't watching
where I was going either... Now, the question is, are you all right?"
Grinning, the girl answered, "Yep! Nothin' can harm me! By the way, my name
is Bonnie Star. What's your name?"
"I'm," I beamed, "Rubia Springleaf. Nice to meet you." Standing up, I face
Bonnie once more. "Here, let me help you up, Bonnie," I said, reaching my
hand out to help her up.
"Thanks, Rubia!" Bonnie cried, as she took my hand, and aloud me to help her
to her feet. "Um, sorry again for running in to you... I was chasing after that
Charmander..." Looking over my shoulder, she gasped, "There she is! Do you
wanna help me catch her?"
"Sure!" I replied, and the wild goose chase was on. Catching the little red
lizard was harder then it seemed. I swear, that thing was faster then a
Pidgeot in the sky! That little lizard could run! Just when you think you
had her, the little bugger went ahead and used its agility attack!
Bonnie and I tried for hours, it seemed, trying to catch that Charmander,
but she refused to be caught...
Finally giving up what seemed to be an impossible mission, we sat on the cool
grass, panting, with large grins on our faces.
"So," Bonnie said, catching her breath, "I haven't seen you before. You a
tourist? Or a trainer?"
"A trainer," I replied.
"Cool. Come to challenge Blaine?"
"Yep. I'm hoping to win myself his badge..."
"What kinda pokemon do you have?"
"Well, I have a Staryu, a Poliwhirl and a Psyduck that are at the pokemon
center right now... Speaking of pokemon, is that Charmander yours?"
"Ya. She's made a hobby out of making me run after her..."
"She sure has you trained good."
"You got that right!" laughed Bonnie, as she gazed over at her blue eyed
Charmander, who was starting to walk back over to her trainer, knowing that
this game of tag was over.
Smiling, I looked up at the darkening sky...
"Hey, do you know what time it is?" I asked.
"Ya," Bonnie said as she looked at her watch. "Oh jeez! It's already past
six! Well, I guess time does fly when you're having fun..."
"Yep, you're sure right with that. Do you want to come with me to go pick up
my pokemon?"
"Okay! Then your pokemon can meet my Charmander!"
I nodded. The two of us stood, and we started to walk towards the poke center.
We talked about nothing in particular; our ages, boy bands we were in love
with, pokemon...
"So, do you have a place to stay tonight?" asked Bonnie, as we neared the
poke center.
"Well, I was planning on staying at center..."
"Hey! How about you come and stay with me tonight? I have an extra bed in my
room, and the Cinnabar Gym is next door, so you won't have to go far to
challenge Blaine..."
"You live next door to the gym?"
"Yep! I'm training there."
"Cool. Ya, I think I'll come stay. You sure you don't mind?"
"Not one bit!"
"Thanks!" I said, as we entered the center.
I made my way to the front desk where a waiting Nurse Joy stood, still
smiling like she was earlier today.
"Hi, Nurse Joy! Could I get my pokemon?"
"Sure. You're Rubia, right? Then, here are your pokemon. They're all rested
and healthy!"
"Thank you, Nurse Joy!" I cried happily, as I took my poke balls from Nurse
Joy's outstretched hands. I put them in my backpack, and then Bonnie and I
were off.
I beamed, as Bonnie and I walked down the now quieting streets, to her
apartment. 'You already have your first friend, Rubia...' I thought
happily...
Well, how was it? Next chapter will have the more of Bonnie, and some of the
gym battle! Thanks for reading!
