Amaya emerged from her house a few minutes later and rushed over to Professor Birch's lab, Kenji hanging on it her shoulder. She rushed in and skidded to a halt, or tried, but she failed and wound up on top of Brendan, Kenji had been caught with ease by Professor Birch.
"Wow Amaya, I didn't know you were so happy to see me!" Brendan laughed.
"Oh shush up," Amaya said, getting off Brendan, laughing as well and walked over to Professor Birch.
"Hello Amaya, nice of you to drop in…on Brendan" Professor Birch laughed, causing his son to blush a fiery red, he handed Kenji back to Amaya. "Speaking of Brendan and you, I heard you beat Brendan on you're first try. That's excellent!"
"I know, it was a tough battle though, but it was fun" Amaya smiled. "Right Kenji?"
"Tree, Tree!" Kenji replied, nodding.
"Brendan has been helping me with my research for a long time, ever since he was at least five." Professor Birch said, patting Brendan on the shoulder. "Brendan has an extensive history as a trainer already"
"I know, I could tell by the way he battled" Amaya said, smiling at Brendan who blushed again.
"Here, Amaya, I ordered this for my research, but I think you should have this Pokedex." Professor Birch said, handing Amaya a Pokedex. "I'm sure you know about them since you were a trainer in Johto."
"Oh yeah, I went everywhere with my Pokedex in Johto!" Amaya said, smiling and looked the Pokedex over.
"Brendan here goes everywhere with it too, whenever he catches a rare Pokemon and records its data in the Pokedex, why, Brendan looks for me while I'm out doing fieldwork and shows me" Professor Birch smiled.
"So, now you got a Hoenn Pokedex, Amaya, here I'll give you these too" Brendan said, handing Amaya five pokeballs. "It's a lot more fun with a whole bunch of Pokemon"
"I know!" Amaya smiled. "Thanks, both of you, for ya know…being so nice to be and making my move from Johto a little easier."
"You're welcome, Amaya" Professor Birch said, and then smiled. "Would you care to show us you're Johto Pokedex?"
"Sure," Amaya said, brightly.
She began digging in her bag and found it, it looked similar to the Hoenn Pokedex only there were a few differences. She pulled out the little red Pokedex and turned it on and sat down with Brendan and Professor Birch and began showing them the Pokemon of Johto and Kanto as well.
"Wow…" Brendan murmured.
"That's some Pokedex, Amaya!" Professor Birch smiled.
"You mean you caught all those Pokemon???" Brendan asked.
"Yeah, it was tough, I was on the road and seas for almost three years catching all of them" Amaya smiled. "I really miss my Suicune, I was so happy when I met it…and it didn't put up any fight to be caught, I wonder how Suicune is doing…"
"I'm sure Suicune misses you just as much as you miss it, I'm sure all your Pokemon miss you" Professor Birch said, nodding. "There are a lot of Pokemon here in Hoenn that are in Johto and Kanto, it's just amazing!"
"Yeah…OH! I almost forgot!" Amaya said, smacking her hand on her head, looking at her watch. "My mom wants to know if you, Mrs. Birch and Brendan would like to come over for dinner tonight?"
"Why we'd be delighted!" Professor Birch said. "Brendan why don't you go tell you're mother?"
"Alright," Brendan replied.
"I'll go tell my mom, she said if you can come over to be there at about 7:30" Amaya said, looking at her watch, it was around 6:00 now.
"Okay, tell your mother will be there, I have a few more things to finish up here and then we'll be over!" Professor Birch said, smiling and set off to working.
Amaya and Brendan walked out of Professor Birch's lab together and walked up and split up, Brendan going left to his house and Amaya going right to her house.
"Hey mom!" Amaya yelled walking into the house, sitting Kenji down on the ground. "Mommmmmmm!!! Where might you beeeeeeeeeeeee??"
"I beeeeeeeeeeeee right here," Naomi said, walking down the stairs. "Oh what an adorable Pokemon!!!"
"Yup, his name's Kenji! He's a wood gecko Pokemon, Professor Birch gave him to me" Amaya smiled.
"Oh he's just so adorable!" Naomi repeated, patting Kenji's head. "So, what did Professor Birch say about them coming over?"
"He said they'd be delighted, he said he had some work to finish up so they would be here around 7:30" Amaya replied, sighing as she took her bandanna off. "Yuck, gross… sweaty, stinky…I think I'm going to go take a bath before they get here"
"I think that would be a god idea," Naomi replied, laughing a bit. "Oh Amaya, honey what should we have for dinner?"
"I don't know…uh…how about chicken and rice? And vegetables, of course" Amaya suggested.
"Sounds good, thank you m'dear. Now go take you're bath." Naomi smiled.
Amaya laughed, shaking her head a bit and walked up the stairs, Kenji fallowing her. When she reached her room, she placed Kenji on her bed, handing him a little blanket incase he wanted to go to sleep.
"What should I wear for dinner Kenji?" Amaya asked, walking over to her closet. She looked through what little bit of clothes she had and pulled out a mid thigh navy dress. "What about this?"
"Treecko…" Kenji replied, his little jaw dropping.
"I'll take that as a yes," Amaya laughed, lying the dress down on her bed. "Okay then, I'm going to go take my bath now, my mom is down stairs, you can go down there or you can stay up here and sleep"
"Tree, tree" Kenji replied, nodding.
Amaya walked off into her bathroom and began to draw her bath water; she looked around and found her milk and honey scented wash, she poured a little of it in to the hot water and allowed it to bubble up, she smiled at the sweet scent it gave. She grabbed a few candles and lit them, sitting them around the bathroom. When the bath was the right level, Amaya turned the water off and quickly got undressed and slid into the bathtub, sighing as the hot water loosened and soothed her tightened and aching muscles, she laid back in the bath, allowing her hair to get wet.
"Could life get any better than this?" Amaya asked to herself, or so she thought.
"Yes, it could get better if I were in there" Brendan's voice answered her question.
"AGH!!!!! BRENDAN BIRCH! WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING IN HERE????" Amaya yelled, as she covered what parts of her the bubbles didn't cover.
"Whoa, whoa calm down" Brendan said, covering his eyes. "You're mom had to go out and get something to finish making dinner with so she told me to stay here, and I didn't know where you were so I came looking for you"
"Well you found me now will you please leave?" Amaya asked, glaring at him.
"Gesh okay, no need to bite my head off." Brendan replied with a smile and felt his way out of the bathroom and closed the door.
"God, that Brendan" Amaya thought, lying back down in the bath, letting the hot water ease her tensed muscles again. "He's got some nerve…"
After about an hour, Amaya emerged from her bathroom, she rushed over to her door and locked it, after making sure Brendan wasn't in her room. She sighed and dropped her towel, walking around in her underwear and bra, her hair was soaking wet. She went into the bathroom and got a fresh, dry towel and wrapped it around her wet hair and threw the wet one into the clothes bin. She walked back out and took her dress off the hanger and unzipped it, it was a bit of a snug fit around her hips and chest but she didn't care and didn't feel like searching for something else to wear. She got her make up bag and began doing her make up, which was very simple, just a little eye shadow, eyeliner, mascara, lip-gloss and blush. She took the towel off her hair and towel dried it, when she returned, she looked around for Kenji and she found him, curled up in a shoe box at the side of her bed. She smiled and kissed his head and slipped on her shoes and walked down stairs.
