{Author's note: o__O; ok this is my first time putting up a fan fiction and I was really bored/tired so yeah. Enjoy! ^.~

Rikku, a girl of 16, was sitting in the pokemon center. Rikku's hair was a redish-orangish color. It was somewhat braided a bit and had beads attached at the ends of the braids. She wore a purple headband around her forehead. The braids flopped over it and onto the sides of her head. The white, orange, and green beads clacked together. She wore an orange top that showed her stomach and a tight, white mini-skirt, cut low. Her deep emerald eyes quivered as she bit her bottom lip. "AIII" she shrieked loudly, in front of a poke-communicator. Professor Oak was on the other side.

"Calm down, Rikku" he sweatdropped. "No need to get fired up." he stated, slowly.

Rikku looked up. "Huh.oh! Heh! I'm sorry!" she gave a sheepish smile. "I just can't decide who to take with me." She paused while looking at an open window of her pokemon database. "I really only want to take one.since I am headed towards the Hoenn region!"

Professor Oak nodded. "I see." he then clicked on an open window showing him an image of her pokemon database, aswel. "Mastermind hasn't been used lately.he could use some exercise."

Rikku clicked on 'Mastermind' in her database. An enhanced image of a Gengar popped up. Rikku sweatdropped. "Him!?" she gasped.

Professor Oak sighed. "I'm afraid so." He paused. "Rikku, you need to spend time with all of your pokemon! And I think this is a prefect opportunity to get to know eachother. "

Rikku nodded and sighed. "I'm afraid so." she double clicked with the mouse on the 'transfer pokemon' button. Rikku slowly shifted her attention to the Pokemon Transfer Machine as a golden, electrical light shot out, bringing forth the old pokeball. Rikku grinned. "It's time to see what you are made of, Mastermind!"

~~~

Rikku ran outside. She threw the pokeball in the air, Revealing Mastermind. He slowly yawned and floated down from the cloudless sky. ~Rikku.~ He narrowed his eyes to from a ray of red light aiming at her. Rikku shrieked and ran around.

"Stop!!" she urged. Mastermind sighed and the ray came to a stop.

~Might aswel.~ he mused, grinning evilly.

"You little." she started, but then stopped. "I knew I should've picked Dark Fang!"

Mastermind chuckled. ~For all I heard was that you were having a hard time choosing!~

Rikku sneered. "Shut up you little baka!"

Mastermind shrugged. ~Ok.~

Rikku took out the pokeball. "Mastermind re---"

Mastermind shot out an energy blast, throwing the pokeball against a rock, chipping it lightly.

"NOOOOOOOOOOO!" she shrieked. "Mastermind! HOW!?"

He snickered. ~Next time try asking me if I actually LIKE that thing.~

Rikku sniffed. "All right." she whimpered, while picking up the chipped pokeball.

~~~

Rikku sighed as she slowly lunged herself forward to finally arrive at sign that announced 'Welcome to Hoenn!' She sighed happily while falling on her knees. "Phew.what a long walk" she complained.

Mastermind snickered. ~Tired already!?'

Rikku sent a cold glare at him. "Remember, you're the one who gets to fly around."

Mastermind shrugged, as they both continued to Hoenn Pokemon Center.
