Chapter 8

"Lîna!" Amî ran to her friend and hugged her. "You did it!"
Everybody else walked over to them.
"That was..." Zelgadis started. Lina cut him off.
"Amazing! Who would of thought that something so small could have so much power!"
"Very impressive." Xellos said, nodding.
"Ms. Amî, when will you battle Norman?"
Amî turned to face Norman. "Norman, I would like to battle you in two days.
"I'd be happy to." He answered. "But why wait so long?"
"I want you to be at your full strength." Amî grinned.
"Well, I'll battle you in two days, then. Until then, where are you guys staying?"
"At the pokémon center." Zelgadis answered.
"You guys are welcome to stay here." Norman said, looking at them.
"No thanks." Lîna replied. "We're just going to stay there."
Mae whispered something in her father's ear. Norman's eyes knitted together.
"Amî, do you have a growlithe?" He asked her. Amî nodded. "May I please see it?"
Amî took out her pokéball,. "Fuego, come on out." Fuego came out of his pokéball, barking happily. He spotted Norman and wimpered. Fuego ran to Xellos and hid behind his legs.
"Daddy, that's Chino!" Max cried.. Lîna glared at max and he shrunk away.
"Amî, where did you get him?" Norman asked.
"She stole him from the pokémon xecter in Fushia City!" Mae said.
"The pokémon there were hurting him." Amî said calmly. "I couldn't let him stay there."
"BUT YOU STILL STOLE HIM!" Mae screamed.
"He would have been seriously hurt if I hadn't taken him!" Amî screamed back.
"He was in a pokémon center!"
"Nurse Joy was on an emergency call! She wouldn't be back for another week!"
"There was somebody filling in for her!"
"That guy didn't know what he was doing! He didn't care about what happened to Fuego!"
"Well I think..." Max started. Lîna gave him a death glare and he shrunk away again. Everybody else just watched as Mae and Amî continued yelling at eachother.
"You should have reported the guy to officer Jenny!" "Who would have watched the others?" "They would have gotten somebody else!"
"ENOUGH!" Norman shouted. Mae and Amî stopped yelling. Everybody stared at Norman. "Amî, I agree with Mae. Stealing Fuego was not a good idea. But as far as what will happen to him. he can decide who he wants to stay with." Norman looked towards Xellos. "Fuegom please come here." Fuego trotted over cautiously. "Who would you rather stay with, Mae or Amî?"
Fuego looked at the two girls. Slowly he trotted over to Amî. He pawed at her legs, begging to be picked up. Amî bent down and let Fuego jump into her arms.
"That's his decision." Norman said. "Mae, you're just going to have to live with this. Do you guys want to stay for dinner?"
"We're just going to go ahead to the pokémon center." Mae said. "Thanks anyway, Dad."
back at the pc Everybody sat around a small table, eating. The pokémon were on the floor, eating out of two large bowls. Amî looked down at them.
"Lîna, I think your pokémon eat almost as much as you do." Amî said, laughing. "Should you really let them eat that much?"
"Why do you ask?" Lîna said, curious.
"Well, I think you're overfeeding them."
"And your point would be... what?"
"You can't be a very good trainer if you let them eat that much!" Max yelled.
"What do you know about training pokémon, shrimp?" Lîna shouted back. "You don't even have any!"
"I don't need pokémon to know that if you overfeed them , they won't do as well in battle!"
"Shows how much you know! If you starve them, they'll be to weak to fight!"
"Yeah, well..."
"GUYS!" Amî shouted, cutting Max off. "As much as I enjoy watching people fight, this is ridiculous." Amî looked at a clock. "It's getting late. Let's just finish eating and get to bed."
