Chapter Six: Stasi is discovered by Team Rocket
Stasi walked into the Pokemon Center. As always Nurse Joy
was waiting behind the counter. "Hello Stasi. Did you win your
battle?"
"Yes Nurse Joy, I did. Could you heal my pokemon again
please? Vulpix has a pretty nasty looking cut on its side from Bugsy's
Scyther."
"With pleasure." Nurse Joy took the pokeballs that held
Pidgeot, Ditto, and Vulpix and disappeared behind a door.
Stasi limped to a couch, took off her backpack and set it
on the floor, and sank into the deep folds of cloth. She put her
feet on one arm and set her head on the other. "I'm wiped. The
battle took a lot out of me." She yawned.
Daniel sat in a chair next to her head. "So I've noticed."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Don't you start thinking that I haven't seen you yawning
your head off. It wasn't just the battle that tired you out. It was
Union Cave too."
"So, Doctor Daniel, what do you prescribe?"
"I prescribe dinner and early bedtime."
Stasi sat up. "Where would we spend the night? Since we're
in town, we can't go camping."
Daniel put his hand on his chin. "I haven't figured that part
out yet."
"Just like a boy." Stasi sighed. "Always coming up with a
plan and then not knowing where to go."
"You could stay the night here." said Nurse Joy as she walked to Stasi
and handed her the pokeballs. "We've got a few beds that still
need to be filled up."
"Thanks Nurse Joy. You just saved the day," said Daniel.
"Since it's early evening, you should get something to eat.
There's a restaurant down the street a few blocks. You can get a
bite there."
Stasi sat up. "Food? I'm ready to eat. Are you Daniel?"
"You bet I am. We didn't stop for lunch at all in the cave."
"Then let's go. Nurse Joy? Is it okay if we leave our bags
here? It will be for a little while."
"No problem." Nurse Joy picked up Stasi's backpack from
the floor. "Will you be leaving Eevee here as well?"
"No, I think Eevee wants something to eat as well. I'll bring
back food for the other pokemon; I don't want them to get any
ideas that Eevee is my favorite or anything."
Daniel stood up. "I think it's time to go Stasi."
Stasi got up as well. "I've been ready."
They walked out of the door. Eevee perched on Stasi's
shoulder as they strolled down the street. Daniel led the way
until they came to a stop in front of a dining place. They walked
inside. A waiter with blue hair was waiting for them.
"Table for two please," said Daniel.
"Make it a booth," said Stasi quickly.
The waiter looked at her. "Right this way."
He led them to a booth next to the front window. He set two
menus on opposite sides of the table and said, "Your server will
be with you in a few minutes."
"Thanks." Daniel sat down. "Hey Stasi, aren't you going to
sit down?"
Stasi was staring off into the distance. {Was it really him?}
she asked herself.
"Hello, Earth to Stasi. Aren't you going to sit down?" Daniel
waved his hand in front of her eyes.
Stasi blinked twice. "Well, yeah, but, I thought I saw
somebody I knew. It was probably nothing." She sat down and
opened her menu. Daniel did the same.
"Hmm, should I get the meat loaf or a hamburger? Decisions,
decisions," said Daniel.
"I know what I want," said Stasi as she set her menu down.
"Excuse me, may I take your drink order?" a teenage girl
with red hair asked.
"I'll have some milk," Daniel said.
"And I'll have some water," replied Stasi.
"And what would your Eevee like?"
Eevee looked at Stasi. Its look told her everything. "My
Eevee would like a medium chocolate malt with whipped cream."
Daniel stared at Stasi. "How do you know that?"
"I don't know, I just do," was the answer. Stasi looked
uncomfortable.
"I'll be back with your drinks." the girl shuffled off. On her
way to the kitchen, she stopped by the waiter. "It's her,"
she whispered. "The one Cassidy's after."
"Right." the boy nodded. "I'll go tell Meowth."
Back at the booth, Stasi was looking down at her hands.
Daniel noticed that. "Stasi, what are you doing?"
"I'm just thinking. I've heard that if you have a psychic
pokemon, in order to be close to it you need to have a psychic
bond to it."
"And you're thinking that because?"
"It's nothing. It's strange because I seem to know what
Kadabra is thinking, but I haven't had it for very long. It's the
same with all of my pokemon."
The teenage girl returned with the drinks. "May I take your
order?"
"I'll have the meat loaf please," said Daniel.
"With or without ketchup?"
"Without."
"Alright and you, miss?" the girl turned to Stasi.
"I'll have the turkey please."
"I'll be back with your orders in a few minutes." The girl
turned around and left. After half an hour, she returned with two
plates. "Here's your meat loaf and your turkey." She set the
plates in front of the trainers. "Enjoy!" She left them alone.
"Oh boy, food!" Daniel speared the meat loaf and shoved
half of it in his mouth.
"Daniel, I thought you said that you were well brought up."
"I am. It's just when there's food around, I go crazy."
Stasi took a spoonful of gravy and held it in front of
Eevee's face. "Would you like some Eevee?"
"Vee!" Eevee's lavender eyes gleamed with pleasure. It sat
on its hind legs and carefully took the spoon from Stasi's palm.
"Eevee's sure excited about food," Daniel commented.
"No more excited than you," Stasi retorted.
They ate their dinner and just when they were about to
stand up, Daniel asked, "Hey Stasi? This has been bothering me
all night, but, why didn't you order milk? Usually people order that or
soda."
Stasi laughed. "Did I forget to tell you? I'm lactose
intolerant. I'm allergic to milk products."
"Oh, that explains a lot."
They stood up and left. They didn't notice the two pairs of
ears in the booth behind them.
"Did you hear that?" whispered Cassidy excitedly.
"Yeah, I knew she had to have some weakness. Since we
started following her in the cave, I thought she was Supergirl
or something," replied Butch.
"When we get her alone, we can force feed her something
with milk in it and take the Eevee. We'll be the Boss's favorite
again in no time!" exclaimed Cassidy. She got up and left the
restaurant. Butch followed her.
**************************************************
Stasi flopped on her bed. Eevee yipped indignantly and
crawled on her stomach. "I'm beat. How about you Eevee?"
"Vee."
"Thanks a lot."
"I agree with you Eevee. It's too early to go to sleep," said
Daniel.
"What time did you wake up?" demanded Stasi as she sat
up.
"I don't know."
"Tell me."
"No."
"Tell me, or face the consequences."
"What would you do to me?"
"I'll release Pidgeot and tell it that you're treating me
unfairly. I've learned that it's fair protective of me."
"I won't tell you."
"Tell me."
"I won't... oh fine, eight in the morning."
"Hah! I was up at the crack of dawn!" Stasi crowed. "You're
just a lazy bum!"
"Am not."
"Are too."
"Am not!"
"Are too!"
"AM NOT!"
"ARE TOO!"
"I don't have a lazy bum!" cried Daniel.
"Oh yes you do."
Eevee stepped in between them. "Vee. Eevee. Ee."
"You want us to stop arguing?" asked Stasi.
It nodded. "Eevee."
Stasi looked at Daniel and stuck out her hand. "Truce?"
He took it. "Truce."
At that time, Stasi saw his eyes for the first time. They
weren't just blue, they were green too. Stasi had never seen such eyes like
that. She caught him staring back at her. He quickly turned away, taking
his hand out of hers. Eevee smiled, it knew what was going on.
"We may be under a truce, but you're still lazy," said Stasi.
"And you're right, it's time to get some shut-eye."
"I'm glad you agree with me." Stasi laid back down on the
bed and pulled the covers up to her chin. Eevee curled up next to
her head. "Good night Daniel."
He turned off the light and laid on the bed next to her.
"Good night Stasi."

Gotta love this fic. I hope you liked the arguing scene. *Sad look on
face* The snow melted. Wah! It's almost Christmas too! I need more
answers for my poll. I only have 1 good reply (That's you Raven!).
