Chapter 2:Friends and Enemies
"Hey guys,good morning..."Ruby said to the two boys who had finally woke up.She stared at them as she wondered whether May had woken up.
Brendan,noticing her stare,asked playfully, "Rudy,do you really have to act like such a freak?"
"Bad move,Brendan!"Michael laughed as he watched Ruby attack him
...
"Oww...I'm still hurting!Rudy,that was not very fun to hit someone repeatedly!"Brendan scowled at her as they set off for Petalburg Town.
"Well,it was your own fault..."Ruby shook her fist threateningly at him.
"Uh..okay...Just don't hit me again!"
...
Soon,the group had reached Petalburg.
"Hey guys,I wanna go to the Gym first.You wanna come?"May asked them.They quickly agreed and followed her to the Petalburg Gym.
May entered the Gym and shouted "Dad?"she ran into the arms of her awaiting father,Norman,Gym Leader of Petalburg.
"Hi,May!How's your mother?How do you like it in Littleroot?"he asked her, "Are these Your friends?"he looked at the three other kids.
"Yeah,this is Rudy,Michael and Brendan."
"Brendan!You must be Prof.Birch's son!How is your father doing?"
"My dad's pretty fine,"Brendan replied.
"Uh,Norman?"A green haired boy who had just entered the Gym asked, "I'm here to get my first pokemon before I move to Verdanturf."
"You must be Wally!This is my daughter,May and her friends,Brendan,Michael and Rudy.May?I'm quite busy now,so do you think you can help Wally catch a pokemon?"Norman asked her.
"Sure Dad! I'll help!"
...
"Hey look!A Ralts!"Michael pointed to a white and green pokemon.
"Uh, okay...Uh, go, Zigzagoon!"Wally sent out the Zigzagoon Norman had lent him, "Use Tackle!"The Zigzagoon repeatedly tackled the Ralts until it fainted.
"Uh...Go Pokeball!"Wally tossed the pokeball Norman had given him at the Ralts, The pokemon was sucked into the pokeball. Wally picked up the pokeball as he recalled the Zigzagoon and cheered,"Yea!My first pokemon!"
"No fair!A Ralts is really rare!"Brendan whined, "Even my dad has problems finding one!"
"Too bad,old man!"Wally snorted at him.
"Oh yeah,what about you,WALNUT?!"Brendan argued back.May and Michael laughed at seeing them shout insults at each other for no reason at all,but Ruby just stood beside them,deep in thought again.
Wally noticed her and whispered to Brendan,"Okay,that Rudy guy is kinda weird.He's totally freaking me out ,somehow..."
"I know,but you had better not say that to him, 'cause he's real good at beating people up!He's also kind of overprotective over his cap,if you ask me.He kicked me last night just because of that and this morn,too!You would have thought someone taught him how to fight or something!"He whispered back.
Ruby suddenly noticed them glancing her way and snapped, "Can we go now?!"
"Yeah!Let's get going,guys!"May led the way back to the Gym again.
...
"Hey Dad!Wally got a Ralts!"May immediately informed Norman.
"Good job,Wally."
"Thanks you all.I really have to go now!Bye!"he left the Gym.
"May,I know that you all want to get your first badge here,right?I'm really sorry but you can't.I'm not going to fight some low-level trainers,so how about you get,let's say,four badges first before you fight me,alright?"Norman explained to them.
"Alright!"they chorused in unison.
...
The group of four set off for Rustboro City,where the next nearest Gym was.Soon they reached a little beach beside the sea.
"Aww...I'm beat! Can't we camp here for tonight?"May whined.
"Alright then, May..."Michael replied, half-sighing.
"Hey, it's still kinda bright and it's also quite warm, why don't we go for a little swim?"Brendan suggested.
May went off to change into her swimsuit while Brendan and Michael plunged into the cool blue water.
"Rudy, aren't you gonna come in?"Michael asked.
"No thanks. I don't really like to swim,"she lied, feeling if her cap was in place.
"Suit yourself,"he shrugged and swam off as May dived into the water.
...
"Goodnight everyone!"May turned in her sleeping bag.
Ruby waited until the others had fallen asleep before she got up and went over to the other end of the beach. She let her beloved little Mudkip out.
"Hi, Muddy,"she patted the water type pokemon on its head.
"Mudd...Kip!"it said in satisfaction.
"Hold on, Muddy,"Ruby pulled her pokedex out of her back pack and switched it to translator mode (Okay, so there's no such thing but I've seen other stories with stuff like this so just pretend there is okay? THANKS!), "Now, I can understand what you're saying!"
Nice move, Rudy! Muddy commented.
"Uh, Muddy? I can't believe you haven't noticed it yet...I'm not really Rudy,"Ruby took her cap off and let her long plait fall pass her shoulders.
AHH! IMPOSTER! WHERE DID YOU-Muddy was cut off by ruby clamping its mouth shut.
"Shush!I'm Rudy!It's just that I'm really a girl and my real name is Ruby Sakuya.Don't you ever tell anyone my real name or even use it at all!I'm running from some body..."Ruby quickly replaced her cap on her head.
Running from who?
"Practically everyone!You see,my mom and dad had special powers.My mom could go into the future, my dad into the past and I...Am supposed to inherit these powers.The two rival teams,Team Magma and Aqua were after us which was why my father taught me how to defend myself by fighting back.Still,Team Magma found us before Team Aqua did.The team leader,Maxie,tortured my parents to death as they refused to help him no matter what.When Team Aqua finds out I've managed to escape,they'll also be after me,which is why I had to disguise myself.I just wish my parents were back!"
Why don't you use your powers to save them?You know,like go back in time to save them or something?
"Because then it would be easier for them to find me and I don't even know how my powers work so it is quite dangerous to be risking everything like that."
Well,at least if they catch you,I'll be with you to get you out!
"No,Mudster...They'll take you away from me and Maxie's stupid Mightyena will do this to you..."she sighed as she removed her jacket and showed Muddy all her cuts and bruises on her arms and legs.
I'm GONNA KILL THAT BLOODY MIGHTYENA FOR DOING THIS TO MY TRAINER!!Muddy yelled.
...
May was startled awake by a yell.She looked around to see only Rudy and his Mudkip at one end of the beach.She wondered why Brendan and Michael could sleep through the noise as she creeped up behind Rudy listening in onto their conversation.
...
"Quiet,Muddy!You might wake them up!"
Oops!Sorry!
"It's okay,Mudster..."
Are you gonna tell May and the others?
"No way!You can't really trust someone you just knew too much..."
What about me?
"You're different...You are my pokemon,my best friend. I know I can trust you!"
Aww...Thanks real much!
"I just hope they don't find me, you know...My dream was to become a pokemon master but because of them...If they really find me, Muddy, you have to run as far as you can and never come back,alright?"
Why?I wanna help you,Rue...I can't possibly be running away while some people take my trainer away...
"I know...But I don't want to let them take you,too...Let's just hope they'll never find us..."Ruby couldn't stop her tears from welling up in her eyes.
Hmm...
"C'mon,Mudster...We better get back.It's gettng kind of bright now,"Ruby put her jacket back on and picked Muddy up,while brushing away her tears.She got up and turned around to find May staring straight at her.
"What in the world were you talking about?"May demanded to know.
"Nothing at all..."she muttered and walked past May,ignoring her the best she could.
"Why?Are you hiding something you're afraid of?"May taunted.
"It's none of your business and if you know what's good for you,you would stop eavesdropping in on other people's conversations!"Ruby glared menacingly at May.
"Oh yeah,like you would be able to beat me up or something!"
"Maybe I should,"Ruby said thoughtfully, "I'll beat you up pretty good if I liked it!"She walked away leaving May fuming red.
Harsh...Muddy muttered.
"Yea,I know,but sometimes,like they say,ignorance is bliss.Not knowing something could save you over and over again.I don't want to get them into this.They had nothing to do with it at all..."she murmured to Muddy.
...
"Aww...When are we gonna get out of here?"May whined.The group had been trekking through Petalburg Woods for a long time now.
"We should be reaching the exit soon,"Michael answered her question promptly.
"Hey kids!"A smartly-dressed man introduced himself as a employee of Devon Corporation, "Have you seen a pokemon named Shroomish?I really like them!"
"Uh,no..."Brendan replied.
"Hey you!Hand over those papers now!"Two Magma Grunts appeared out of nowhere.
"Not so fast,Magma losers!"Another two Aqua Grunts appeared.
"Please don't let them take away my papers!"The Devon Corp. Assistant whimpered,hiding behind the four trainers.
"Alright!May,Rudy,your pokemon will be able to take on the Magma's.Mine and Brendan's will settle the Aqua's!"Michael held out his pokeball infront of him,"Treecko,go!"
"Go Poochyena!"The Aqua Grunt sent out his pokemon.
...
"Mudkip,I choose you!"Brendan tossed his pokeball.
"Poochyena,go!"
...
"Torchic,let's do this!"May sent out the fire type pokemon.
"Go Poochyena!"
...
"Muddy,win this for me!"Ruby sent out her beloved Mudkip,who growled at the Poochyena opposite, Touch my trainer and you're doggy meat!
Ooh...Touchy,aren't we?The Poochyena sniggered.
"Muddy,use Water Gun!"
"Poochyena,Tackle!"
...
"Treecko,Pound!"
"Use Tackle,Poochyena!"
...
"Mudkip,use your Water Gun!"
"Poochyena,use Tackle!"
...
"Torchic,Ember Attack!"
"Tackle it,Poochyena!"
...
The four trainers Pokemon quickly finished off the Poochyenas,saving the Devon corp. Assistant.
"As a way of saying thanks,here's a little something for all of you,"he gave each of them a Great Ball,"Good bye!"He went off,leaving them still in the dark forest.
"And you were saying we were gonna reach the exit when,Mike?"May smirked at him.
...
"I think we should go to the Gym tomorrow instead.It's quite late now and the Gym is probably closed by now..."Michael looked at his wristwatch.
"Aww...I really wanted to get my first badge!"Brendan wailed childishly.They ignored him and heade for the Pokemon Center in Rustboro City.
