"I'm really sorry about what happened Miss. Meyers. And I'm sorry that you had to see that Lyric." I said trying to recover any kind of trust in me that they may have had.
"its understandable" said Miss. Myers from the front of the car. "you did what you thought was right. Its good that you got that off your chest" she said. Hearing this made me some what better. I looked up and saw Lyric looking at her poke ball again.
"um…Lyric?" I called out trying to catch her attention. She looked up and smiled. "what is it Jet?"
Seeing that smile brought my sprits up. "um, do you know anything about your Illumise? Like attacks?" I asked hoping that some one knew how to use there pokemon.
"hum…well lets see." she said as she brought the poke ball in front of her. "come out Illumise." she calmly said as her Illumise sprang froth and appeared in the seat between us.
It twitched its wings and examined its surroundings before bouncing into Lyrics lap. "oh! How cute!" she exclaimed as she gave it a hug. "why don't you bring out your pokemon?" she asked. Not seeing a reason not to I said "sure why not. Come out Shroomish." and with that my pokeball let out a dazzling white light and soon appeared my Shroomish in my lap. But it was sleeping still from the battle with Lance. "um Shroomish wake up…hay come on I got a friend I want you to meet." I said pokeing it in the head.
"oh its ok it looks peaceful asleep. Well how about when we get registered we battle? Just for both of us to get some experience." she said giving her Illumise one last hug before she recalled it.
"crap…I still don't know any attacks for Shroomish…" I though to my self as I recalled Shroomish. "yeah ok…" I said trying to sound enthusiastic before also recalling my sleeping pokemon.
"Ok we are here" said Miss. Myers from the front of the car. "I'll wait here and you two go and get things sorted out. Good luck!" she said to the both of us as we got out of the car.
In front of us was a large new looking building. Some people where scattered around the courtyard conversing with each other. "know where to go?" I asked Lyric as we closed closer to the door to the building. "not exactly." she said sounding a bit worried. Hearing this I looked over to her and asked "are you ok?" quickly she looked at me and smiled and said "oh its just that I'm a bit nervous." knowing that I was somewhat nervous too I asked "is there anything you know of that would calm us down?" I asked jokingly. She stopped for a second and stood in her spot. "what's up?" I asked hoping I didn't just make things worst. Suddenly she grabbed at my hand. "just don't let go ok?" she said quickly.
My mind raced wondering what to do, her grip was tight and because I was stunned just standing there she now was leading me, almost dragging. "come on Jet." she called out as I was yanked from my moment of confusion in to a new feeling…complete and total infatuation.
"No.43...No.43 to the front desk please." spoke a loud speaker from what felt like in every direction. "that's me!" said a young boy from across the way. As we watched him bounce out of his seat and dash off into the door leading to the front desk me and Lyric knew that it was only time till we got our chance to go and get registered. "what number are we again?" she asked lazily. "I'm 88 and your 90" I said just as lazy. "well its getting closer…" she said with a small bit of hope. "yeah soon." I reassured her.
The waiting room that we where…well waiting in, had mellow music playing. It was hard not to fall asleep with such a surrounding. The comfy chairs where almost a nice way of saying "get comfortable, your going to be here a while". there where a few others waiting around in the room too. A few young trainers looking quite nervous and some extremely anxious looking like they couldn't wait another minute. My eyes scanned over some of the others, nothing too interesting…suddenly I noticed that a boy and a girl where looking at us. I didn't want to stair but when I noticed that this boy was completely staring me down I starred back just to see what he would do… suddenly he smiled and rose from his seat. He took hold of the girl next to him and led her over to me and Lyric.
"Lyric." I said notifying her of the people heading in our direction.
Lyric looked at me and then looked at the on coming people. Suddenly she grabbed hold of my hand again. I was beginning to enjoy this.
The two heading towards us looked a bit intimidating. The boy had a Dark Green bucket hat that went quite well with his oversized white t-shirt. He looked almost about my size but possibly a bit shorter . He looked lax but his attitude was hostile. The girl next to him had long blond hair. Her expression was a strange one. She looked at me as if examining me but almost like she didn't care. She had a mid length skirt that stood out with its bright yellow color and cute Pikachu patterns. Her light blue shirt had a few spots of white that on closer inspection turned out to be small Swablu's. over all she was quite cute…but Lyric beat her hands down.
"hi, my names Tank. This is Melody. What are you two here for?" he asked bluntly.
"we are here for registrations. I'm Jet." I said answering his question.
"And I'm Lyric. Nice to meet both of you." added Lyric giving her nicest smile.
"So what kind of pokemon do you have there." Tank asked eyeing my pokeball.
"It's a Shroomish. Do you have any pokemon?" I asked noticing that he didn't have any noticeable pokeball's on him.
"well today I'm going to get my first pokemon. I asked the NTPI (New Trainer Pokemon Issuer ) to hold me one of the best!" he said sounding enthusiastic.
"oh what one is it?" asked Lyric sounding just as excited.
Tank hearing this looked over at Lyric and smiled almost bashfully. "well um it's a Teddiursa, iv always wanted one."
Melody chimed in saying " It's such a cute pokemon…oh today I'm getting my first pokemon too! it's a Magikarp! My older brother told me it the best pokemon!"
Hearing this I wanted to laugh. I knew what Magikarp where like…useless. "well I hope you enjoy it." I said trying to sound enthusiastic.
"oh I'm so going to!" she said and surprisingly gave me a hug. As she released me I felt confused and kind of funny. I looked at Lyric, her expression looked hurt. I quickly flashed over to Tank. Who looked shocked and upset.
Not wanting to make things worst I quickly changed the subject.
"so what number are you two?" I asked
Clearly trying to shake it off Tank said "87". still bouncing , Melody said "and I'm 91! Oh I cant wait!"
Realizing this me and Lyric looked at each other. "we have numbers 88 and 90" I said realizing that a lot of coincidences where taking place today…
