Disclaimer: I don't own Poke'mon
Thanks for the review guys! Sorry for updating late.
skarmory-Thanks for reading one of my stories and thanks for the compliment! Yes, I know he has a Pupitar but like you, that's all I know besides Sparky.
dbzgtfan2004-Thanks! And agreed: Ash and Misty forever!
Soft Flame Matthias-Thanks! Well, I'm not new new writer. I'm just new for Poke'mon. It seems that everyone different anime, cartoon or whatever has their own little theme they keep. So if I use a style fans don't like for Poke'mon, I don't want them to scold me for that (it happened to me once). And your piece of wisdom really got me inspired to finish this story so thanks for that! And I'm pretty sure you got the review I sent for your story. It was so good!
Asian-Cutie-Thanks! And you're not the only one that doesn't know Richie's Johto Poke'mon.
They had a little picnic at a park. Everyone had their Poke'mon out and Brock introduced his Poke'mon food to Reena.
Her Poke'mon became friends fast with everyone's Poke'mon except for Umbreon.
"So Ash, where are you heading next?" Richie asked,
"To get my 6th badge!" he answered with confidence.
"Here, dig in everyone," said Brock as he finished cooking.
"What do you guys think?" Brock asked
"Just as good as ever!" said Ash.
"Delicious!" said Richie.
"The best as usual," said Misty.
"It's…very good," said Reena quietly. They all talked except for Reena who finished first and went to hang out with everyone's Poke'mon.
"Look Vulpix, it's another Vulpix," Reena said and was all smiles.
Then she saw Totodile teasing Cyndaquil.
Ash saw and was about to stop Totodile but Reena did that before he could.
"Not that wasn't nice, Totodile. But hey, why don't you say sorry to Cyndaquil and my Wartortle and I will race you to that pond over there, okay?" Reena asked in a calm and gentle voice.
Totodile gave his sincere apologies and ran his way to the pond. Reena let Totodile win but Wartortle didn't.
The two water Poke'mon got into a splash fight. Then the two splashed Reena who was watching on dry land.
"Hey that's not fair!" and she splashed back (she didn't jump in the water). She was laughing and having so much fun.
"Wow, she seems…un-shy now," said Ash,
"Yeah," said Misty,
"Reena loves Poke'mon and they love her. As you already saw, Poke'mon become friends with her really fast," said Richie.
"And by the looks of her Poke'mon condition, I'd say she's a very strong trainer and takes care of her Poke'mon well," said Brock examining her Poke'mon, but then he got closer to Midnight who was sleeping.
"Uh, I wouldn't go near that Umbreon," Richie warned.
"What's wrong with it?" Ash asked,
"Nothing's really 'wrong' with him, it's just that…"
"What a nice coat," said Brock. Midnight's ears twitched and opened his eyes. He saw Brock and used Take Down on him,
"He doesn't like other humans much and is not afraid of hurting them," said Richie with a sweat drop.
"Midnight!" Reena scolded as she ran up to them,
"What did I tell you about attacking other people?"
"Umbreon! Breon!" and went back to catch some Z's.
Her Poke'mon along with Reena shook their heads in disappointment.
"Hey Reena! I heard you're a strong trainer! How about a battle with me?" Ash asked,
"Ash! Why would you do that if-?"
"Don't worry, Misty, she's anti-social but not when it comes to battles," said Richie with a smile.
"Sure, Ash," Reena answered.
They got into position.
"How does three on three sound?" Ash asked,
"No problem," said Reena.
Since their Poke'mon are already out, they'll just call their Poke'mon name and they'll come out to battle.
"I chose Bayleef,"
"Bay! Bay!" Bayleef stepped up.
"I choose MaPsychic," and Alakazam stepped up.
"Why didn't she choose her Quilava?" Misty asked,
"Reena likes to challenge herself. And she thinks it's unfair for her opponents to choose their Poke'mon first and letting her choose an advantage in type," Richie explained.
"It's a three on three battle with no time limit, let the battle begin!" Brock announced.
"Go Bayleef! Vine whip!"
"Used Psychic!"
"Ala…kazam!" and sent the Vine whip back at Bayleef.
"Alright, you want to play that way, fine by me. Bayleef! Go and use body slam!"
"Oh no…" Reena said to herself.
"Look out! MaPsychic!" but the body slam hit.
"Alright! Not keep him there and use Razor leaf!
"Thunderbolt!"
"Hey Alakazam can use Thunderbolt?" Brock asked in surprise. The attack stopped the razor leaf and got Bayleef off too.
"Psybeam now!"
It was a pretty good battle but Reena turned out to be the victor of Round 1.
"Bayleef, are you okay?"
"Bay…"
"You get a nice rest now," said Ahs and lets Brock help nurse it.
Misty took over as ref.
"I chose Midnight,"
"Umbreon!"
"Hm…an Umbreon huh? Then I chose Noctowl!"
"Wow, that's a pretty unusual color for a Noctowl, Ash, but it's still cool," said Reena
"Thanks!"
"Let the battle begin!"
"Noctowl Confusion!"
"Just stand your ground," said Reena. Confusion didn't work
"Doesn't Ash know that psychic attacks don't work on dark Poke'mon?" Richie asked,
"Apparently not…Ash! Did you forget that psychic attacks don't work on dark Poke'mon? Remember Gary's Umbreon?" Misty shouted.
"Huh? Oh yeah…"
But Ash is no quitter, and being Ash he's good at making comebacks. So let's just say that Umbreon got the wind knocked out of him.
"Midnight!"
"Not bad, Ash, not many people can beat Midnight," said Reena.
"Then again, not many can beat any of my Poke'mon," said Reena.
"Stop bragging and battle!" said Ash.
"Sure, Vulpix, you're up!"
"Vul!"
"Good job Noctowl. Now, go Pikachu!"
"Pika!
"Let the battle begin!"
"Pikachu! Quick attack!"
"You too, Vulpix!"
And they ended up head butting each other.
"That's a pretty fast Vulpix…" said Ash.
"Go, flamethrower!"
"Dodge and use quick attack!"
Pikachu landed a hit.
This battle went on longer and both the trainers and Poke'mon were getting tired.
"Pikachu, can you pull off a Thunder?"
"Pika!"
"Vulpix is too tired to use Fire Spin," Reena thought.
"Thunder!"
"Dig!' Reena quickly ordered.
"What?" Ash couldn't believe that missed.
"Attack and use Flame Wheel!" Vulpix did just that and won them the battle.
"Pikachu, are you okay, buddy?"
"Chu,"
"Vulpix!" Vulpix was tired and exhausted,
"You okay, pal?"
"Vulpix,"
"That was a great battle Ash! You were one of my toughest opponents!" said Reena,
"You too!" said Ash.
The five were at the Poke'mon Center now.
"That was a great battle, Reena, not many can beat Ash," said Misty,
"Um, thanks, Misty,"
"Well not many can beat Reena either," said Richie.
"You're Poke'mon were amazing," said Brock.
"Thanks…so….why do, um, you guys travel together?" Reena asked,
"Well, I want to become a Poke'mon Breeder. And Ash is my friend and they wouldn't survive without me," said Brock.
"Well, I like adventures….but I'm trying to remember why-oh yeah! You still owe me a bike Ash Ketchum!"
"Oh, not that again!"
"I'm not going to leave you alone until you give me a new bike!"
"Can't we just forget about it?" Ashe asked,
"No!" and the argument continued.
Reena and Richie (hey, they both begin with R, didn't notice that) had faces on that tells everyone they have no idea what's going on.
"Um, long story," said Brock.
"So, is Misty a trainer too?" Reena asked,
"She is but she's only interested in water Poke'mon," Brock explained.
"Really? Reena really likes fire Poke'mon," said Richie and Reena nudges him telling him to be quiet.
"Sorry," he said sweetly.
"It's okay, I just…never mind,"
"Don't worry, take your time to get to know them," said Richie putting his hand on her shoulder.
She nods,
"I-I…plan on becoming a gym leader someday. And use fire Poke'mon…." she said but her sentence got quieter every second while saying it.
"Really?" Brock asked and Reena nods.
"I was the gym leader from the Pewter City Gym (takes Reena's hands). Maybe we were destined to meet,"
This time Richie separated Brock and was surprised himself since it's not like him.
The three looked at Ash and Misty who were still fighting.
"You know, you guys must be very good friends, they say if you fight a lot, you like each other a lot," said Richie,
"WHAT? ME LIKE HIM/HER? NO WAY!" and they turned their backs from each other with their arms crossed.
"At least that's the case with most relationships. Some just happen through kindness," said Reena.
"WE ARE NOT IN A RELATIONSHIP!"
"We didn't say you were," said Reena with a sweat drop along with Richie.
"Yeah, we only mentioned it," Richie added.
"So…do you guys fight often?" Reena asked,
"All the time," Brock answered.
"DO NOT!" the two answered at the same time.
"Pika…" Pikachu just shook his head in disagreement.
"So, are you guys heading up north tomorrow and out of this town?" Richie asked,
"Yeah, we are," Ash answered.
"Cool, so are we, we can travel together until we reach our destination. Is that okay with you guys?" Richie asked,
"You bet!" said Ash,
"Of course," said Misty.
"It would be heaven to have you traveling with us!" said Brock in front of Reena.
Misty grabbed his ear,
"Okay, you're scaring her now," she said.
"Is that okay with you, Reena?" Richie asked,
"Um…sure," she answered.
"Yes! I can have another girl to talk to!" said Misty.
"You're Poke'mon are ready!" Nurse Joy called.
Reena and Ash let out the Poke'mon they battled with today to see how they're feeling.
All was well except Umbreon who was upset over the loss.
Then he got angry after Reena announced they were traveling with Ash and his friends.
"It doesn't look like you're Umbreon is happy," said Misty,
"He wasn't happy when Reena started traveling with me," said Richie with a sweat drop.
Poke'mon conversation:
"How come you don't want to come with us?" Pikachu asked,
"None of your business, squirt!" Umbreon snapped.
Pikachu didn't feel appreciated.
"Don't worry about him, he'll get used to you," said Sparky.
"Fun! Fun!" Togepi and Magby said and started pulling on cloth that's on a table with knives and forks on it.
Pikachu, Sparky, and Vulpix had to quickly get the two out of the way.
"Togepi!" Misty picked Togepi up and Reena did the same with Magby.
"Thanks Pikachu," said Misty,
"Pika!"
"Thank you Vulpix, and Sparky," said Reena.
"Vul!"
"Pika!"
"And I never thanked you, Richie,"
"Huh? Um, for what?"
"Well…for raising Sparky well that he helped saved Magby and….for being a good friend…." Reena blushed a bit.
"Oh, then you're welcome," said Richie with the kawaii smile of his.
"Well guys! Lets get a good night's sleep!" said Ash as he stretched his arms and yawned.
Everyone was heading off for sleep.
"Hey Ash,"
"Yeah, Misty?"
"Thank you too, for raising Pikachu well. He saved Togepi after all," said Misty.
"Ah, no problem, Misty, right Pikachu?"
"Pikachu!"
Please R and R
And Happy 4th of July everyone!
And since no one knows what Poke'mon Richie has, why don't you guys tell me what Poke'mon you want him to have and their nicknames.
