Chapter 1: An Aron and A Girl
Jinn Hayabusa sat underneath a nearby tree as he observed the various areas. A smile on his face as a Pokemon rested in his lap. He was now seventeen years old, meaning seven years had past since he had left on his journey. Over time... Jinn had gone through a whirlwind of events. It started when he was first lookin for a job. It seemed there was a man who wanted a person to sell balloons to various people in hopes of atracting business. Jinn applied for the job, sure that it might help him find something to do in his life... or at the very least a decent paycheck.
What happened next was a complete surprise. Jinn was able to sell each and every last one of the balloons. Not just to kids though... he sold them to adults, senoir citizens, and even Pokemon trainers. From then on, he decided that he would honor the spirit of his Cubone and all the other Pokemon that he had lost somehow by repenting from his previous life of thievery and focus on making people and Pokemon alike happy.
That happened about two years ago. After a little while, Jinn began to make a small, but steady income selling balloons to various people. It wasn't much, but it gave him alot of freedom. He didn't need a store or any advertising... all he needed was the merchandise. It allowed him to make money while traveling at the same time. As time passed, Jinn also trained his Pokemon in battle with hopes of possibly becoming a famous trainer. A dream he had like others since he was but a small child. The Pokemon he ahd saved that day turned out be an Aron. A steel type that was pretty strong.
Jinn's Aron also grew up around balloons since his trainer was always selling them to other trainers. It made the pokemon learn more about his trainer and thus helped them to become good friends. Of course one pokemon could only get you so far if you wanted to become a pokemon trainer. Jinn had always constantly searched for another Pokemon to capture... but he could never find one that was right for him. And so he grew up with his one Aron and that was it.
As Jinn stood up from underneath the tree, he spotted a nearby trainer. She seemed to be a little nervous as she was looking around catiously. A Pichu was sitting on the girl's shoulder, having a completely opposite personality of the trainer. It was jumping around wildly as it looked around for no real reason.
Jinn smiled and looked down to his Aron. The Pokemon had a large assortment of balloon's tied around his little horn. Obviously the Pokemon didn't mind this and it also made it alot easier to keep up with his trainer's inventory. As Jinn slowly approached the girl, he smiled and quickly grabbed a red helium filled latex orb and offered it to the girl. " Hello... " he said in a friendly manner. " Whats wrong? Are you not used to being around people? " He asked curiously.
The girl took the gift a bit reluctantly. " Thanks... " she said slowly. " Its just that I don't like to be around crowds. It makes me a little nervous. " She then handed the balloon to the Pichu who immediately began yanking on the string intently, trying to entertain herself. Aron watched the Pokemon as his trainer talked to the girl. " That Pichu... " the Aron thought. " Why can't I take my eyes off her? "
Jinn looked to the Pichu as well... smiling slightly. " I guess she likes it. Well consider it a gift. " he said smiling again. " Now tell me whats your name? I'd like to know who I'm talking to, wouldn't you? " The girl looked to Jinn and smiled slightly. " I'm Gi... " she whispered quietly. " And my Pichu is called Stormy. Whats yours? " she replied. The trainer looked to the girl. " They call me Jinn Hayabusa... you can simply call me Jinn. This happy little fellow is Aron... my best and... well only friend. "
The so called Gi laughed slightly. " Its nice to meet you Jinn. " she said happily. Obviously... she wasn't as nervous anymore. " Ummm... I hate to ask this... but do you have any food? Stormy and I haven't eaten all day. " The Pichu looked over at the mention of food. " Pi? " it said curiously. The Pokemon quickly jumped down and looked up at Jinn, a big grin on the Pokemon's face. Jinn sighed. " Sure... I got some food... " he said. " Its not much... but it should be enough to fill you two up. " the trainer said as he whistled to the Aron who quickly walked over.
Jinn slowly went back over to where he was sitting and sat down. He then pulled out a few cooking supplies, including some pots and pans as well as a box of matches. Jinn looked to the girl. " I'll fix us some soup. " he said. Gi nodded. " That sounds good... " she replied. The girl then turned to Stormy who was looking right at Aron. The steel Pokemon was looking right back at the electric type. " Hello... I'm Aron... " he said to the Pichu a bit nervously. Stormy grinned. " Hi Aron! I'm Stormy... nice to meetcha! " she replied quickly.
Jinn quickly got to work as he made a quick lunch for them all to eat. As he added all the necessary ingredients to the broth, he looked up at Gi a bit nervously... unsure if it would turn out right. He sighed and looked at Gi. " I got to be honest... I'm not the world's best cook. " Jinn said. The girl looked at him. " Its ok... " she said. " I'm not picky... "
Meanwhile, Aron was still talking with Stormy. " So... you like the balloon? " he said a bit nervously. The Pichu looked at him a bit confused. " Ummm... whats a balloon? " she said completely baffled at the mention of the word. Aron thought for a second. " Well... its kind of like this thing that floats in the air. You know... like a floaty... thing. " Stormy nodded. " So... its a floaty thing... that sounds cool! " The Pichu smiled. " So... what do you think of your trainer? " she asked the Aron. The steel Pokemon thought for a second. " Well... hes really nice... and I like him... "
Finally... Jinn finished cooking the soup. It actually had turned out alright. " Well then... shall we eat? " he said pulling out four different bowls. Two of them, normal human bowls, and the others, smaller pokemon-sized bowls. He then poured a portion of the soup into each of the dishes. " Alright everyone... lets eat! " he said immediately beginning to chew away at the tasty soup. Gi quietly ate hers... while Stormy began ating pretty fast, licking up the broth of the soup happily. Aron ate much slower... but enjoying it just as much. Soon... they had all finished eating their food. Jinn quickly put the dishes away. " Too bad I don't have a water type to help me wash the dishes. " he joked as the trainer wiped them clean with a dish rag.Gi smiled. " Well... thanks alot for the balloon and the lunch. I think I'll go now. It was nice meeting you Jinn. Maybe we'll meet again. " Jinn smiled as he stood up. " Maybe so... until we meet again Gi. " He quickly turned to Aron. " C'mon buddy... lets see if we can make a little bit more money. "
