Hroondeel's (space taking) notes
Well, they are space taking! But don't think that I'll be taking them off anytime soon, I'm just doing this for fun! I'm trying to update as soon as possible too.
May couldn't sleep the whole night, for whatever reason, she didn't know. Her new clothes were very comfortable though, and she especially liked the bandana. Who knew Brendan was such a good knitter? She rolled on her side but still couldn't succeed in falling asleep or anywhere close to it. On the bright side, she felt much more warm, not wearing leaves and going barefoot anymore. There was even a pair of gloves, inside the shoes. They were white with black fingers and a black band, and May was just amazed at Brendan's generosity. What had inspired him to knit this outfit? Maybe it was his 'clean and proper' reputation…May thought, wrinkling her nose. "Argh! That's it! If I can't sleep, I'm not going to!" she cried out, leaping out of her sleeping position, and to no one in particular. She took her yellow bag and walked stormily further down the route to Petalburg.
"Mhmh. That's right. Your nickname will be Zuzu."
May froze in her steps, as she knew that voice. Argh! Why can't he stay out of my business! But she couldn't help listening in. "And you, my little pup," he hesitated, and she heard some soft footsteps, probably by little feet and a friendly "Poochyena!" WHAT? He already has two Pokemon! No fair! "-Shall be called Nana. Doesn't it fit you, you cute little girl?" May gritted her teeth, still mad from him, Brendan, having more Pokemon than she did.
"Well, lady and gentlemen, we have to get moving, as we need to get out of Petalburg as fast as possible…" Suddenly, May's mouth dropped open. That's his last name! How could I have not noticed? What did his family do to have a town named after them? May's mind was overflowing with questions, and she didn't even notice that Brendan and his companions had become completely silent.
"Or should I say ladies…?" he said, with a hint of playfulness in his voice. May froze.
"I-I-…never heard anything! No sir-ee! I didn't hear anything about you nicknaming your Pokemon or having a city named after your last name? Nope!" she giggled nervously. Brendan raised an eyebrow, as she had just stated what she had heard. "What are you doing here." He asked, no scratch that, said.
"What's it to you?" she said, or rather shrieked in shock.
"I…" he started, but stopped. Mudkip, or Zuzu looked up at his trainer in curiosity. Nana wagged her tail at May in greeting.
"So you're Nana, aren't you?" May said in a slightly nicer voice. She kneeled down and Nana walked up to her, placing her paws in May's lap and wagging her tail energetically. Brendan bit his lip.
"Pooch!" Nana said happily as May scratched her behind her ears.
"Nana, you should meet Torchic." May said as she fished in her bag and released the fiery bird.
"Torchic!" Torchic said in greeting to Nana. Nana went back to fours and walked over to Torchic, as if introducing herself. Just randomly, May asked Brendan, "Should I nickname Torchic too?" Brendan shrugged, not finding words. When he turned around, she rolled her eyes.
"How about Chaka?" she asked, to no one in particular. Brendan wrinkled his nose at the strange and random name. May ignored him and called, "Chaka! Chaka! Yes, I'm talking to you!" when Torchic looked around in confusion. May sighed in helplessness and walked over to 'Chaka' and picked her up.
"You little rascal! That's your new name! I hope you like it, 'cause you're going to need to get used to it!" Chaka cocked her head. "Oh whatever. Just remember that you're Chaka from now on, 'kay?" May said, placing Chaka gently back on the ground. Brendan was meanwhile, watching her silently. What he didn't notice was someone rustling behind them.
"I'm sure this is him,bzzt, it says so on this sleeping bag, bzzt, he must be nearby, bzzzzzt." Brendan flinched at the voice. It was one of his father's 'apprentices', and he appeared to be talking on a walkie-talkie. Thinking reflexively, he jumped behind May and whispered, "Help, hide me." May, stunned, turned around and crept away, Brendan following closely behind her, to where she left her bag. They both crept inside the tree hollow, and Nana, Zuzu, and Chaka went inside as well. Nana lied down in May's lap, apparently taking a liking to her, while Chaka quite amazingly, kept quiet and Zuzu sat down next to her. They were ready for a long wait.
Well, did you like it? Tell me on the reviews! Sorry this update came so late, my Internet was down. (XD) I'll try to update more often from now on!
