Here's chapter three, I hope y'all are enjoying it... or how ever many actually read my story.

Chapter 3

When Eilish woke up to the sun on her eyelids, she was surprised to find herself very warm.

She opened her eyes properly, and watched as Talon yawned widely, he had obviously just woken up. She saw Hazel curled up next to Talon, her tail covering her face.

Eilish yawned, and attempted to sit up, but froze when she felt something lying against her back. She slowly turned her head, as much as she could, to see what it was. She let out the breath she had been holding as she saw the white hair of Leo.

She slid away from him, before crawling out of the sleeping bag. She stretched her legs, and arms, before putting her boots back on.

She sat on the tree stump that she had sat on when Leo jumped out at her, and stroked Talon, who was sitting beside her.

She waited roughly five minutes before deciding that she was bored. She smirked, before walking over to the sleeping bag. She watched him for a few seconds before pulling a branch off a nearby tree.

She tickled his nose with the branch, and he frowned. She smirked again, before making buzzing sounds while tickling his nose again. His eyes opened wide, and he jumped up, brushing off the imaginary bug.

Eilish burst into laughter, clutching her stomach. Talon chuckled, as well as a pokémon could chuckle, and Hazel uncurled, stretching into wakeful-ness. (A/n: Is that a word? The auto-correct didn't underline it…)

He glared at Eilish, "That was not funny."

"Neither was jumping behind me and scaring me out of my wits." Eilish retorted, folding up her now empty sleeping bag. Eventually she managed to fit it into her pack.

She shouldered her pack and made sure her pokéballs were securely on her waist, she only had four pokéballs; one was Talon's, as she had used two to capture a Wurmple and a Poochyena. She smirked, before opening her pokédex, and she pressed a white button. A picture of Poochyena came up, she pressed another button, and the picture changed to Wurmple.

She pressed the white button again, and a pokéball materialised into her hand. "You have received Wurmple, the bug type pokémon. If you wish to receive your Poochyena, press the white button."

Eilish glared at the machine, "I know what to do. I just did it to get Wurmple didn't I?"

The pokédex was silent, as she had expected, so she clipped it to her belt, beside her pokéballs.

Leo looked at the pokéball in her hand, and at the pokédex now on her belt. "How come I didn't get a pokédex thing?" he asked, before looking at the pokémon, "And what pokémon's in there?"

She smirked, knowing his fear for bug pokémon, and threw the pokéball into the air. It opened and a stream of red light shot to the ground. The red light ceased as the pokéball returned into her hand.

Leo moved backwards a few steps, staring at the Wurmple with utter distaste.

"It's my Wurmple." She said, smiling.

Leo glared at the bug pokémon, "I hate bug pokémon, for one, I had to dress up as one in that stupid play, and for two, I was attacked by a stupid Dustox when I fell into its damn nest."

Eilish laughed, as Wurmple walked towards Leo, causing him to take a few more steps back. She returned the bug pokémon into its pokéball, smirking.

"That's evil." Leo commented, as Hazel laughed at him.

"Well, you obviously don't know me well enough. Otherwise you'd know how evil I am." She said, glaring at him in mock-hate.

Leo raised an eyebrow, before putting on his boots. He picked up Hazel, and held her in his arms, stroking her softly.

Eilish looked around, "Which way?" She asked.

Leo took a quick glance in either direction before heading off the way he had came from yesterday. Eilish followed with Talon at her heels.

She walked alongside him, watching as he trained Hazel with wild Poochyenas and Wurmples; occasionally a racoon-like pokémon named Zigzagoon would come out, before running back into the underbrush.

Eventually the small houses of Oldale came into view. Leo led Eilish through the town, only stopping to heal their pokémon in the pokémon centre and to stock up on potions and pokéballs. They came to a thatched house just behind Oldale on route three.

They went in, and Leo shouted, "Mum! I'm ho-ome!"

"Blaziken." Came a deep voice, as a six feet high pokémon with a beak and bird-like hands, came through the door.

"Blaze, nice to see ya buddie." Leo said, smiling as he engulfed the pokémon in a hug.

Eilish pulled out her pokédex, "Blaziken, the fire/fighting pokémon. The evolved form of Combusken. This pokémon is an adept fighter; using attacks like Blaze kick to both burn and damage its foes."

Eilish raised an eyebrow, "Cool." She muttered, the pokédex was about to continue speaking, but she closed it, not really bothered about what it would say next.

Blaze, the Blaziken, watched Eilish oddly, not knowing her. Eilish stared back, for the same reason.

"Eilish, oh my god, is that you?" A high pitched voice came from the stairway.

Eilish looked up, "Mrs. Andrews, how're you?"

"I'm fine. My, how you've grown." Mrs. Andrews said in shock, coming to stand beside Eilish. "I feel so small." She muttered, Eilish was almost the same height, standing at 4'4" only two inches shorter than Leo.

Eilish smiled, "You're not half as shrimpy as you used to be." She said smirking.

Mrs. Andrews nudged her playfully, while Leo watched with a raised eyebrow.

"I just wanted to pick up my bag, since I've gotta get going." Leo said, smiling to his mother.

Mrs. Andrews looked saddened for a short moment, before she smiled, "Okay, I'll make sure you have everything."

She went upstairs, and Leo and Eilish were left in a comfortable silence, Blaze watching their pokémon with narrowed eyes.

"Where's you're underwear drawer?" Mrs. Andrew's voice came down the stairs.

Eilish burst into laughter, while Leo walked upstairs, blushing lightly.

When he came downstairs he had a navy blue back pack slung across his shoulder. He smiled, and she giggled. Mrs. Andrews came down shortly after, watching Eilish giggling while Leo glared at her.

"Okay, as long as you both stick together, and don't go off alone, I'm happy." She said, and both children looked at her, "Eilish, don't let Leo do anything stupid, and Leo, don't let Eilish …uh… run off." She added, unsure of what Eilish was bound to do.

Eilish and Leo nodded, before heading out of the door. They waved smiling, as Mrs. Andrews stood at the door, with Blaze beside her.

They made their way through the town, before heading out eastwards along route four. (A/n: I think.)

They took turns battling the trainers lined along the route, who were searching for experience. Eilish managed to win more than Leo, though she did not defeat all of the trainers. She smirked at him smugly as Petalburg City came into view.

I know, I kinda rushed the end, but I wanted to complete this chapter, so I could update my other story.
