Jennifer was alone again. Her uncle had been able to get her back to her room without attracting other Rocket's attention. Then he had left his niece with her new Pokémon. The training would start tomorrow.

Jennifer sat down on the couch and looked at the puppy in her arms.

,,Hello there. I hope you're not upset because I took you away from your mommy. If you don't mind, you'll be my Pokémon from now on. My uncle, James, will get you a Pokéball as soon as he finds one. I've also decided to give you a name. What do you think about Ernil?"

The little Growlithe blinked a few times, then barked.

Jennifer laughed. ,,I think we'll be okay."

There was a knock on the door. Jennifer walked to the door en called:

,,James, is that you?"

There came an answer from behind the door. It was a voice she never heard before:

,,No, but can I come in anyway? You're new here, aren't you?"

Jennifer putted Ernil on the couch and slowly opened the door. There was a girl of her age with dark hair and green eyes at the other side of the door.

,,Yes, I'm new here. Who are you?" Jennifer asked.

The girl smiled. ,,My name is Raven. What's yours?"

,,Jennifer."

Jennifer stepped aside as the girl came in. Raven turned around to her.

,,I'm so glad that there's finally a girl around my age around here. How old are you?"

,,15. What about you?"

,,I'm 15, almost 16."

Then Raven saw Ernil.

,,Oh! He's so cute!"

The girl ran up to the couch and petted the puppy on his little head. Jennifer sat down beside Ernil.

,,Don't you think it's weird to have a Growlithe? I'm mean, being a Rocket and all."

Raven shook her head. ,,No! In fact, I think it's very smart! He could be of great use!"

Jennifer looked at Raven. ,,Thank you. I was wondering, how long have you been here?"

Raven sat down on the couch, too. ,,I've been here my whole life. My parents thought that I would be a better Rocket if I grew up among them."

,,Are there many children our age in here?"

,,No. There are a few boys that are two years older, but certainly no girls. That's why I'm so glad to meet you!"

Jennifer stared at Raven. ,,You must be a very skilled Rocket! I have just arrived, and I still need to be trained."

Raven looked at her curiously. ,,Who is going to train you?"

,,Well, he's called James."

,,James??? Is JAMES going to train you?" Raven started laughing and nearly fell off the couch.

Jennifer looked at the other girl and frowned. ,,What's so funny?"

,,James is the most pathetic member of Team Rocket. He has NEVER caught any Pokémon for the boss. And that Jessy-girl, she's just as bad. The only thing special about them is that talking Meowth. It's really too bad for you that you're going to be trained by such a loser."

Jennifer had listened to Raven full of disbelief. She felt anger filling her head. She rose from the couch and grabbed Raven's shoulders.

Jennifer said with a cold voice: ,,Excuse me?! Perhaps I should let you know that James is my uncle! So this is what you've been doing: you come here for the first time, and you immediatly start gossiping about things that I don't care about! Is that how you deal with people? Then it's no miracle that you don't have any friends! Now. Get. Lost."

And with that, she pushed Raven out the door and slammed the door closed behind the girl.

Ernil crawled under the couch, squeaking.
