I do not own Pokemon.
Here's a quick summary, a question mark signifies unrevealed information.
Name of Trainer - Name of pokemon(Type)
David - Weedle(Kakuna), Ee-ee(Mankey), Ducky(Farfetch'd) Emily - Rex(Charmander), ?(Growlithe), ?(Magby) Anna - Daffodil(Totodile), ?(Magikarp), ? Dante - ? Spence(Strikerfox) - Clamp(Feraligatr), ...?
David hammered the last stake into the ground and took a step back. He put down Weedle, his make-shift hammer, and looked at the tent he had just finished setting up. He nodded in satisfaction. As he unzipped the flap and pulled it back, two young girls darted in. David gave a long blink, during which time, he observed, the two girls had made themselves right at home. Scanning the inside of the tent he saw two sleeping bags, two packs, and two girls giving him an annoyed look. What he couldn't find, was an empty spot to put -his- things.
"Um, what are you doing?" David inquired.
"Neither of us have a tent, so we're taking yours. Thanks for setting it up, looked like hard work." Emily answered.
Anna moved towards the front of the tent, gave a sweet smile, and zipped the door flap closed. "Sorry, but no boys allowed."
David walked over to the pile of wood that would later become a fire, sat down on Weedle and just stared. He shook his head and said, "Should have seen it coming."
Dante, the other male in their group chuckled slightly and said, " Yeah, Emily's been real nasty since she lost that practice match against Anna."
David smiled in recollection. Only an hour after leaving the last city, they had to backtrack so that Emily's pokemon could be healed. "She should have known that one good watergun attack takes care of most fire pokemon."
Dante nodded, "She did, but I think she thought she could still win since Rex evolved into a charmeleon. It -did- manage to take out Anna's magikarp, but that totodile of hers is something else."
"Hmm, it seems like Daffodil is only playing and has no idea about how serious a battle is supposed to be, yet she always wins."
David fell with a thump onto the ground. He swiveled his body to see Daffodil, the clueless totodile, running off with Weedle in her mouth.
"Hey! Get back here!" David yelled.
Daffodil looked at him blankly, then spit Weedle out at him. Deprived of her chew-toy she sulked off towards the tent. Almost on cue, Anna unzipped the flap and stepped out. She scooped Daffodil up and rocked her. "Aww, what happened?" Daffodil pointed over towards David. "David! You apologize to Daffodil!"
"She's the one who was chewing on -my- pokemon!"
Emily stepped out behind Anna and looked at David. She remembered how only a week ago, in this same situation, David would have been blubbering forgiveness, but now he was holding his own. "Ann, leave him be." Emily whistled and Rex came scurrying out of some nearby bushes. "I'm going for a walk, and I'm leaving King to guard the tent." she said as she pointedly looked at David and Dante. Afterall, the girls had stolen the tent fair and square, and it wouldn't be right for them to take it back.
David looked at the growlithe now sitting in front of the door to the tent, King may be just a puppy, but he could be terrifying.
"I'm going for a bath..." Anna said to noone in particular. David and Dante's heads turned toward her. Anna had the strangest habit of commenting on simple things like bathing or dressing, that just seemed to absorb male attention. She really didn't understand what the big deal was, or why it would interest the boys.
Emily sighed as she reached the edge of the clearing, and turned around. "I'd better go with you then."
Anna squealed with excitement, "Yay! We can bathe together!"
The two boys made sure they didn't say or do anything, all the while pretending not to be paying attention to the exchange going on between the girls.
"No. I'm going to stand guard, and so will Rex. I don't trust these two." Emily replied, giving the male duo a stern look.
As soon as they were gone, David released his other two pokemon, and let them play their strange new game. Ee-ee would throw Weedle at Ducky as hard as he could, and then Ducky would hit Weedle back to Ee-ee, using his reed-sword as a bat. It looked funny, but it -was- good training. Ee-ee would work on strength, Ducky on reflexes, and Weedle...well...on being as hard as possible, so the reed strikes didn't hurt. Dante released his two eevees, Molly and Polly (Polly being a guy), watched the game they were playing until he realized what it was, and then quickly kicked the two behind a bush.
---------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------
An hour later, the two girls walked back into the clearing, Emily more sour than ever. A quick look would reveal that she was quite soaked. She marched straight into the tent and angrily zipped the flap close.
"I said I was sorry!" Anna said to the closed flap. "How was I supposed to know Sunshine would splash you?"
The flap partially unzipped, Emily stuck her face out and said, "It's a magikarp! That's all they do! I can't deal with this now, I need to change." The flap zipped closed.
Anna walked over and sat down in front of the pile of wood, I the center of their camp, and pouted.
"Um, Anna..." David began questionly.
"What?! Did Sunshine splash you too?!" Anna replied with a flushed face.
David considered how anger only seemed to make Anna all the more pretty before dismissing those thoughts and turning his attention back to his question. "Um, no. Um, is it safe for Daffodil to have that rock?" He pointed at the yellow rock the little totodile was cuddling.
"It's just a rock. Leave her alone."
"Um, Anna...it's glowing!"
Anna reached over grabbed the rock, marched over to the tent whipped the front flap open and threw the rock inside. It thudded against the back of the tent, and Anna yelled, "It's gone! Happy?!"
David went pale in the face. Anna followed his gaze and realized that it wasn't on her, it was on something inside the tent. Anna turned around and saw a strangely calm Emily sitting cross-legged.
"Now Anna, because we are friends, I'm going to forgive your magikarp for splashing me, and because we are friends I'm going to forgive the fact that a yellow, glowing rock just whizzed by my head...but! But Anna, you just opened the tent after I -said- I was changing. You -knew- I was dressing. But, you still opened the flap...AND with DAVID sitting right THERE!...fortunately for both your sakes I had just finished."
David slowly regained his ability to think and considered how close he had just come. A few seconds before and he might have seen Emily...then he considered the probable reaction Emily would have had and realized that in the very least she would have killed him. He took a deep breath and mumbled, "We should start the fire now..."
Almost as an afterthought or maybe just to fill the silence, Dante collapsed in a fit of laughter and tears.

Well, that's chapter 3. It was about half as short as the others, but that's only because the next one will be longer. I just wanted a short chapter to get back in touch with the characters after not writing for awhile. Chapter 4 will be fun, I promise. And I'll have it done by the 15th of Jan. Consider it my New Year's Resolution.
