Karania, Mal, and Edgar had made it to
Route 121, when they met ip with a brunette girl who wore red, white,
and black. She smiled cheerfully, then walked over to the trio.
"Hi,
I'm May," She said. "Do any of you want to battle?"
Mal
smiled. "I'll battle!"
Karania shook her head.
"Sorry, not right now." She responded.
Edgar didn't
reply. Mal raised an eyebrow and waved her hand in front of his face.
"Hello? Space cadet? Hey, wake up!"
Edgar shook his
head. "What? Oh, sorry." He rubbed the back of his head,
then smiled.
Mal looked at Kyo, then nodded. Kyo grinned, then
stepped forward, ready to battle. "War, Wartortle!" Kyo
taunted, and balled up her fists.
May frowned. "Oh
dear...Well then, go Combusken! Then start it with a Focus
Energy!"
"Kyo, Rain Dance!"
Combusken's
attack pumped her up, while Kyo summoned a large rain cloud, then
raised her arms. The rain began pouring all over the area.
"Combusken, Double Kick!" May cried, and Combusken obeyed,
who sent Kyo on to her back. Kyo growled in frustration as she began
trying to steady herself. She finally got up, only to be hit by
another Double Kick.
"Kyo, use Surf!" Kyo summoned a
huge tidal wave, which crashed over the trio, May, and
Combusken.
May bit her lip. "Let's see...Umm...."
May frowned. "Oh great....I've already forgotten Combusken's
moves....wait, Combusken, use Mirror Move!"
Combusken
held her arms up in defense, and easily reflected the attack back to
Kyo, who tumbled head over heels in the wave.
Mal gasped. "Oh,
no!" She cried, but Kyo merely shook the attack off. Mal
smirked, then commanded Kyo to use Surf once more. She was suddenly
stopped by Edgar, and Mal had to call off her attack.
"What'd
you do that for, Edgar!?" Mal demanded. Edgar placed his hands
on his hips and frowned. "Hey, she dosen't seem to be a good
battler for you, leave her alone!"
Mal raised an eyebrow,
then smiled. "Ohhh, now I get it! Edgar's got a girlfriend!"
She said with a laugh.
Edgar blushed, then glared at Mal.
"That's not true! I'm just trying to save her the embarrasment
of losing to you!"
Mal rolled her eyes. "Uh-huh.
Sure."
Karania stepped between the two of them. "Stop
it, both of you." She said.
Edgar and Mal both stopped,
then huffed and looked away from each other.
"Sounds to
me like they're an item," May said, adding a light chuckle at
the end.
Edgar and Mal both glared at May, then walked off in
a random direction, Mal accidently walking into a puddle and
slipping. "Gah!" She yelled angrily. "Stupid
puddle!"
Edgar walked into the Safari Zone, while Karania
and Mal continued down the Route. Mal had recently caught a Seviper,
whom she named Fatal Fang. She enjoyed having the giant snake Pokémon
around, and began battling with him. He had learn Poison Tail in her
most recent battle.
Edgar came out of the Safari Zone about
thirty minutes later, seeming to cheer to himself. He ran over to
Karania and Mal, and greeted them before noticing the setting sun.
"Wow...the day sure ended fast..." He mumbled.
Karania
bit her lip. "We should get to a clear area and set up camp,"
She said.
Mal agreed. "Yeah, let's go." She ran off
in front of Karania and Edgar, eager to find a nice spot. The three
passed the Route 120 marker, when Mal suddenly ran off, then came
back. "I found a good spot, c'mon!" She exclaimed, then ran
ahead.
They came to a small clearing near a Stone Monument,
and they all laid out their sleeping bags and such. The three took
turns ducking behind a tree or something to change into bedclothes,
which was delayed as Mal couldn't find her sweatshirt. She appeared
from behind the tree about five minutes afterward, fully
changed.
"Wonder if he'll really call me...?" Mal
muttered, looking at her Poké Gear curiously.
"Wonder
if who'll call?" Edgar asked.
"Dad." Mal
answered. Karania released Entei, who lit a fire for the three. Mal
sat by the fire for a while, then was the first to go to sleep. She
crawled all the way into her sleeping bag so she couldn't be seen,
then drifted off to sleep. Karania and Edgar stayed up for a while,
chatting about Karania's title and Edgar's dreams of being a good
trainer.
Midnight came, and a sudden rustling was heard.
A
crackle of a radio was heard, along with a quiet screech. "Boss,
send the grunts," A male voice whispered. "I think I've
found her, along with that other girl, and an unknown boy..."
The
radio crackled once more. "Good, I'll send them." A click
was heard, and the radio was pocketed.
Karania looked up as
she heard a crackle. "What the?" She muttered, then peered
through the bushes to find out who was spying on them.
"Huh...maybe
I was mistaken..."
Edgar looked up at Karania. "Mistaken?
For what?"
"I could've sworn I heard a
radio...."
"Hm. Oh well." Edgar replied. "I'm
off to bed, see ya in the mornin'..."
Karania nodded. "Me
too. Goodnight, Edgar. You too, Mal, Kyo."
Mal snorted.
"G'night...." She muttered groggily, and turned
over.
Edgar fell asleep, Karania hoping that she hadn't heard
a radio, nor that anybody was spying on them. She worried all night,
then finally fell asleep.
