A Trainer with Fire in his Eyes...
A fan fiction by Kyogre Kyogirl...
Chapter Four: New Friends
Kyogirl: Jasper wound up falling asleep on his "porch" which was no longer a porch. It was just a piece of wood that he happened to be sitting on. At three o'clock in the morning, things started to get weird.

Kitt was up for no reason. She was walking around Pallet Town worrying about her father's friends. Then a strange thought occurred to her. That Jasper boy was pretty cute. She liked him. Maybe there was more to that story but she pushed it into the back of her mind and walked on.
Kitt saw a glowing light coming from down the road. It was a warm glow, like a fire on the hearth during winter time. She followed the light it made and stumbled upon the remains of the Ketchums' house.

Jasper woke up and saw the fire he'd made. It was a bit friendly to him. It kept him warm and provided a good light to read with. He'd found the papers on the door earlier that evening but kept quiet about it.
The first paper was like a map. It seemed as if it had been dropped or thrown away. The paper had a map on it, but it wasn't like any other map he'd ever seen. It had little lines and dots on it. There was also some weird writing. It looked similar to the writing in the Ruins of Alph but they were slightly different.
He could only make out one word on the top. It said: "REGIS" in big black letters.
The other paper was Maxie's ransom note. It was written in red ink and had scorch marks on it.
He stood up and looked into the flames again. Why was fire so friendly with him? He wiped his eyes very carefully, to make sure he didn't get ashes all over his face from crying.
He thought hard for a moment. His father had done so many great things when he was a kid. How could he have been defeated now? And why would anyone want to capture the world's greatest pokemon master anyway? He snapped back to reality when he heard a squeaking noise from the road. He thrust the map into his pocket and strode off down the road.
"Who's there?" he said quietly.
"It's just me, Kitt." said the voice. "Were you over at your house? Maybe I can talk to you later-"
"It's okay. There's barely anything left anyhow. I combusted it and this is all that's left. It was kind of an accident." said Jasper. "So what did you want to talk about?"
"Oh nothing. Just that I wanted to be your friend if you didn't mind." Kitt said.
"I'd like to be your friend if you're okay with it." Jasper said. "Besides, if we all stay in our own protective little circles we'll never save my parents."
"Jasper?"
"What?"
"I really, really like your eyes."
Jasper looked into Josie's eyes for a minute. Hers were a pretty shade of green, like the Viridian Forest. He saw that she was blushing and knew that she liked him. He thought she was flirting with him and was slightly annoyed, but he concluded that she was okay. Nobody was so nice to him before. Normally anybody who talked to him would say "Hey kid!" or "You there!" and most of the time he would be the amazing invisible boy, as if he were part of the environment.
"Don't think about her Jasper." He thought to himself. "There's no such thing as love at first sight. Besides, you have a job to do. A crush might interfere with things." He tried with all his might not to fall for Kitt and it worked for a while.
"Want to see this map I found at the house?" Jasper asked.
"Sure. I like reading maps. It's fun and educating at the same time." Kitt said staring dreamily into Jasper's eyes.
"You know, you're right about that." said Jasper. He was falling for Kitt hook, line, and sinker. "I just can't figure out what the rest of it says. At the bottom there's a map of Hoenn, but up here at the top, there's a bunch of little marks that don't mean anything."
"Hmm. My dad told me about maps like these. They call 'em manuscripts. They're normally maps to an important place. Look at the red 'X' right over that one spot. I think that whoever dropped this was planning on going there."
"I have a feeling that someone is the guy who took my parents. Maybe we should show this to the professors."
"I think we should show it to my dad first. He can read stuff like this. But normally it's a puzzle anyway, so that'll take a while to decipher."
"I suggest we sleep on it. I'll walk you back to your-erm-wherever you're staying." Jasper said, blushing a deep scarlet.
"Thanks. You know, my mother used to refer to you by this weird name. It's Firesoul. Wonder what it means." said Kitt taking Jasper's arm.
"I dunno what it means. Is you mother here?" asked Jasper.
"No. Unfortunately she disappeared three years ago. It was right after the flood." said Kitt.
"Oh, I'm sorry." Jasper said.
"It's okay." Josie said.
They got to the huge tent that Brock's family was sleeping in and they said goodnight.
"Well, I'll see ya tomorrow." said Jasper.
"Goodnight my Firesoul." Kitt said placing a kiss on Jasper's cheek which blushed soon afterward.
"G'night." Jasper said in a squeaky voice. When she was gone he walked back to the "porch" he'd been sleeping on sighing, "Damn that girl is cute."
Jasper went back to sleep, but in the forest behind the house, two icy blue eyes were watching him through the trees...
