Part 5

Violet City with a Friend!

"Are you sure you have to go?" Asked Hotaru, standing outside of the Pokemon center.

"Yeah. I need to continue my journey." Replied Naru.

"Oh... I wish I could go with you..." Said Hotaru.

Naru looked at Hotaru. "But why? Don't you like it here?"

Hotaru stared at her feet. "Yeah... But I always wanted to go on a Pokemon journey... My mother never let me though."

"Well... I wouldn't suggest it... But if you have a Pokemon, you could just leave a note, and run away on your journey... That's sort of what I did..." Naru said. "In fact, probably better if you didn't do that."

"Wait, no! Miss. Kimori! That's a great idea!" Hotaru proclaimed.

Naru gawked at Hotaru. "It... It is?"

Hotaru nodded. "Yes! I'll go grab Love and Chance! I'll be right back!"

Hotaru ran off. Naru looked down at her Totodile. "What have I done...?"

Totodile looked back up at her, and put one of its claws against his neck, then it moved it sidewards.

Naru shuddered. "Yeah, her Mom sounds really strict..."

Hotaru ran back. "Alright, ready to go!"

Naru stood as still as a statue.

Hotaru poked Naru. "Come on! Let's go!"

Hotaru happily skipped past the sign to Route 30 with Naru drearily walking behind her. Then she got punched in the leg by Totodile.

"Ow!" Naru yelped. "What was that for?"

"Toto!" Totodile said, with an angry face.

Hotaru looked back. "I think he means, you should try to be more lively. Especially since I'll make sure that my mother puts me to all the blame..."

"What?" Naru said. "How did you...?"

"I sort of figured it out. There's no reason to be scared. My mother is strict, and sort of old fashioned, but she shouldn't be too angry... more like just worried." Hotaru said. "Even if she is angry that I left without asking... I'll take all the blame, you needn't get involved."

Naru looked at Hotaru in awe. "Thanks... for that. That's calmed me down, I guess..."

"Well, I'm glad." Hotaru smiled. "I need an exciting, active friend to go on my journey with!"

Naru smiled back. "Alright! Let's get on with our journeys then! Onto Violet City... and beyond!"

Hotaru, Naru and her Totodile ran off into the depths of Route 30, ready for anything...
