A Father Quest

Chapter 2:

A Burning

City

Early the next morning Vincent woke up in the middle of the forest looking up at the sunny sky. He then felt some breathing on his chest and looked down seeing the girl he saved laying there happily asleep. He looked down at her unable to believe that he had really slept with her last night. He had only been married ten months and he was already sleeping around with girls. He soon convinced himself that he had just got caught up in the moment and that it was no big deal. He slowly shook her waking her up.

"Good morning," the girl said as she woke up. "I hope you slept well."

"Yeah I slept fine," Vincent replied. "We should get moving soon though. Team Rocket will soon be after us."

"Sure anything you say," the girl replied smiling getting up putting her shirt back on. "Oh and about yesterday well I normally don't just sleep around like that but I felt some kind of connection between us."

"Yeah sure it's fine," Vincent replied quickly throwing his pants on. "We can't just stand around here. There's a town up the road a little ways. We can get something to eat and talk there. I don't think Town Rocket would attack in an area with tons of witnesses."

"Sure," the girl replied confused. After a little bit the two were on there way to the town.

"Umm is something the matter you've been really quiet this morning," the girl asked looking at Vincent.

"Nothing wrong," Vincent replied. "If you want to talk about something tell me your name okay."

"Umm okay," the girl replied thinking. "I'm sorry I don't remember it. I lost all my memories so I have no clue who I am." She then looked up at the sky for a few minutes thinking.

"How about I call you Rain," Vincent said. "It was the name of a girl I met a long time ago during my journey. You know you look a lot like her."

"Sure I love it," the girl replied. "So did you like this girl?"

"Yeah a lot," Vincent replied. "I almost stopped my journey to be with her. But she was already engaged to a great trainer."

"I wonder if I had someone I cared about," Rain said. "Oh I forgot to even think if you had someone. Don't worry I won't tell them about last night I promise. I'm so dumb that's why you've been so quiet."

"Don't worry about it," Vincent replied looking at her only to see the girl he cared about years ago. One part of him wanted to tell her he was married but another half told him to forget about them and stay with this new girl and it was winning. "I don't have anyone so don't worry about it."

"That's good," Rain said looking at him. "I was really hoping you say that. Because I think I'd like you to be my special person." The town could now be seen in the distanced as they walked towards it. As they got closer they could see that the town was actually a city and a big one at that. It had many big building and people were busy walking up and down the streets of the city.

"Well let's find a place to eat," Vincent said as they entered the city around lunchtime.

"Sure I'm starving," Rain replied as then walked down the busy streets. They soon found a small restaurant. Vincent looked around looking for any sign of Team Rocket but didn't see any. They then soon order some food.

Off in the back of the restaurant a man sat wearing a black suit looking at the two taking out what looked like a pair of sunglasses putting them on. He then took a wired out of his pocket and connected it to his glasses. Then all sorts of notes and information appeared on one of the lenses. "Vincent Ketchum trainer class S . Yes I've found him."

Later that night Vincent and Rain checked into a hotel and were sitting up in there room. Rain sat by the window looking out it at the wonderful view of the city lights.

"Wow the view is so beautiful," Rain said as she looked over the city. She then screamed as she noticed flames shooting up all over the city. "Vincent the city on fire."

"What," Vincent said rushing to the window to see a Charizard flying by lighting everything on fire. "This is nuts. Who'd burn down a whole city?"
