Chapter two: The journey begins
Stasi woke up the next morning with a jolt. She leaped out
of bed, got dressed, and ran down the hallway to the kitchen.
Nurse Joy was there making enough scrambled eggs and bacon
to feed an army. In this case: four hungry workers, Stasi, herself,
and the people spending the night at the pokemon center.
"How did you sleep?" asked Nurse Joy.
"Like a rock, a log, and a baby all rolled together," replied
Stasi. "Can I eat breakfast now?"
"Sure," Nurse Joy said as she spooned some food on Stasi's
plate.
"Something smells good," Jake said as he walked into the
kitchen in his boxers. He yawned and grinned at Stasi. "So, ready to start
your journey?"
Stasi nodded. "I'm going to miss you guys. Just to let you
know, you forgot to get dressed again."
"Hey, I do that for you, kid." He winked. "Hey Joy, can I have
some grub?"
"Not until you go back to your room and get dressed. What
if the trainers saw you in the kitchen with only your boxers on?
They would think that the Center is unsanitary."
"Fine, you win." Jake turned to Stasi. "Hey Stasi?"
"Yes, Jake?"
"Don't forget the guy who walks in the kitchen with only his
boxers on."
Stasi laughed. "Okay Jake. I'll remember you."
"Good." Jake walked out of the room.
"I might as well feed my pokemon. Eevee, Vulpix, Pidgeot,
Kadabra, and Ditto, come on out!" Stasi threw her pokeballs in
the air. Instantly, the pokemon materialized.
"Ditto," Ditto said as it Transformed into scrambled eggs.
"You'd better watch out Ditto, somebody might come along
and eat you!" Stasi said.
Ditto instantly Transformed back with a worried look on its
face.
Stasi laughed. "I'm only kidding Ditto."
The pokemon laughed as Ditto blushed.
"Well now, it sounds like all of you are getting along before
you even leave the house," said Joy.
Stasi smiled at Joy and ate her food.
After breakfast, Stasi put on her favorite clothes: a pair of
flares, a white tank top, and a blue jacket partially zipped, and
put her hair back in a ponytail. She hung her PokeGear around her
neck and slung her backpack over her shoulders. Outside of the
Pokemon Center, Nurse Joy and the workers were waiting to
give her a proper farewell.
"I'll miss you Stasi," said Jane as she hugged the sixteen
year old.
"I'll miss you too, Jane."
"Hey Stasi, remember, you gotta pay me back for the
mummy bag."
"But Jill-"
"Psyche!"
"Very funny." Stasi punched Jill in the arm.
"Hey Stasi, that offer for the Kadabra is still open," said
John.
Jill hit him in the back of the head. "John!"
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Don't hit me again!" John cowered
beneath Jill's glare.
"Sorry John, I'm not going to trade my Kadabra for the
world."
"Darn."
"I'll miss you anyway, John."
Stasi turned to Jake. He gave her a tight hug. "Remember
what I said, kid."
"I won't forget. Thanks for being my big brother Jake."
"No problem."
He released her and Stasi turned to Nurse Joy; they hugged.
"Your mother would be so proud of you right now, honey,"
Nurse Joy whispered.
"I know," Stasi replied softly.
"You can call anytime, you know that."
"I know. I promise to write."
Nurse Joy stepped back. "It seems like yesterday that you
were outside making mud pies with the Diglett with a cold that
you let out of the Center."
"I think that was yesterday Nurse Joy," remarked Jake.
Everybody laughed. Stasi started walking to the route that
would take her out of town.
"I'll see you later you guys!" she called. She walked out of
town and into a forest. "Okay, Eevee go!"
Eevee appeared from an envelope of light. It cocked its
head at her.
"I'm going to need some company on my journey. Want to
join me?"
"Eevee! Vee!" Eevee nodded enthusiastically and leaped on
her shoulder.
"You seem comfortable."
"Vee."
Suddenly Stasi heard a bush rustling. {It must be a pokemon!}
she thought.
But to no avail, it was only the wind. Stasi sighed and
pressed on. It took all day to walk two thirds of the way and was
early evening when she decided to set up camp.
"Vee. Eev," said Eevee.
"What is it Eevee?" asked Stasi.
It nudged her belt with the pokeballs.
"You think that I shouldn't do all of the work?"
Eevee nodded.
"Okay, pokeballs, go!"
Her pokemon appeared and waited expectantly.
"I need you to help me set up camp. Ditto, will you
Transform into Scyther and find some fruit?"
"Ditto!" it cried as it nodded.
"Kadabra, I need you to find some stones and firewood so
we can make a fire. Vulpix, that's where you come in. Pidgeot, I
need you to scout the area so we can find a trail that leads to
Violet City tomorrow. Eevee, you're with me."
The rest of the pokemon nodded. Ditto Transformed and
they went their separate ways. After some time, Kadabra
returned with some large stones and firewood levitating in the
air, Ditto returned with grapefruit, apples, and pears, Pidgeot
returned with a clear trail marked out on the map, and Stasi,
Vulpix, and Eevee had finished unrolling the mummy bag, getting
a pot out, and getting some ingredients for an excellent stew.
"Is everyone present and accounted for?" asked Stasi.
Pidgeot nodded.
"Okay, let's start cooking!"
The pokemon cheered and started getting busy. Kadabra
arranged the stones into a circle, Pidgeot, Ditto, and Eevee
placed the firewood inside, Vulpix lit the fire, and Stasi started
cooking their dinner. When the stew started bubbling, Stasi
removed it from the fire and they started eating.
"Does everything taste alright?" asked Stasi.
"Vul. Pix. Vul." Vulpix said with a satisfied smile.
The other pokemon agreed. After they ate, Stasi returned
them to their pokeballs and went to bed. She spent the night
with a long, dreamless sleep.
**************************************************
It was early morning when Stasi woke up.
"Everybody, come on out of your pokeballs. We need to
take down camp and set on out," Stasi said.
Kadabra decided to crush the stones into pebbles to bring
along as a weapon, it Teleported them into Stasi's backpack.
"Good thinking Kadabra," praised Stasi. "Who knows what
pokemon or goons we might meet along the way."
It smiled. Pidgeot flew into the air to make one last check
on where the trail was. It flew back with good results. Meanwhile,
Stasi rolled up her mummy bag while Ditto, Eevee, and Vulpix
searched for snacks for the trip. They returned with fruit,
walnuts, and radishes.
"Great job everybody. Everyone accounted for?"
Pidgeot nodded.
"Okay, Ditto, Kadabra and Vulpix, return. Pidgeot lead the
way," Stasi said as she slung her backpack on.
Pidgeot landed on the ground in front of Stasi. It turned it back to
her and lowered its wings.
"You want me to climb on?"
It nodded and chirped.
"I'm sorry, I can't. I'm afraid of heights."
It looked at her and took off. Eevee leaped onto her
shoulder. Pidgeot started leading Stasi to the trail. It flew slow
so she wouldn't have to run. When Stasi stepped onto the trail,
she had Pidgeot to return and started walking to Violet City.
"Getting tired Eevee?" she asked about an hour later.
Eevee nodded. "Ee.Vee," it replied as it almost lost its
footing.
"Well, you'll just have to hold on for a little while longer.
We're almost there."
After twenty more minutes of walking, Stasi stepped on
the paved streets of Violet City.
"First things first, I need to go to the Pokemon Center."
"Vee," Eevee replied.
They walked down the street for a while. People turned to
look at her as she passed by.
"Eevee, do you get the feeling that we're being stared at
just a little too much?" Stasi asked through clenched teeth.
It nodded. It seemed like everyone had to turn their heads
to see the girl with an Eevee perched on her shoulder. Especially
when the Eevee had lavender eyes. Two people especially had to
stare at the Eevee.
"Hey Butch," whispered Cassidy.
Butch turned around. "What?"
"Doesn't that Eevee look familiar?"
"Yeah, it does." Butch rubbed his chin. "You know? I think
its that Eevee that we tried to steal from that lady about fourteen
years ago."
"You're right. It is."
"But that was when we were young, and inexperienced, but I
wonder..."
"What?" Cassidy asked.
"Who's the girl with it?" he pondered.
"I bet it's her daughter. You know, the girl she was holding
the last time we saw her?"
"If the girl has the Eevee..."
"That means the woman died because of your Haunter. You
shouldn't have told it to use Poison Gas. You know that it's
always fatal," scolded Cassidy.
"I forgot, okay? What are we going to do about the Eevee?"
"We wait until we can catch the girl alone."
"Right."
