"Rosie, use pound!"
"Shieldon, protect!"
Sakura watched on as Rosie attack was blocked, the normal type Pokémon cried out as she flew back. "Come on, Rosie! You can do it!"
"Shieldon… metal sound." Shikamaru commanded, he inwardly flinched when Shieldon used metal sound. He watched on as the move caused Rosie to flinch and let out a cry as she attempts to reach up to her ears. "Tackle."
Without a second commanded needed, Shieldon tackled Rosie and winning the fight. Shieldon let out a victory yell before he was summoned back into his Pokéball. Shikamaru let out a sigh as he watched Sakura run towards Rosie, checking her over and pulling out healing supplies from her person. He looked around the area to see they were still alone and no sight of any other wandering trainers. From what he had heard, there's a place just up ahead that takes in trainers for them to take a short break. "We should keep moving. There's a place a up ahead we should consider taking shelter in for the night."
"Okay…" Sakura mumbled out, she did her best to heal up Rosie before picking her up. She looked up to see Shikamaru talking to Shieldon's Pokéball, praising him for his actions. With a small smile on her lips, the pinkette reached into her bag and took out a medical spray to heal Rosie. As she healed her Pokémon, she thought over what had occurred the day before.
After reuniting the little girl with her father and, getting rid of Team Galactic from the powerplant, they, her and Shikamaru, took a break. Naruto had decided to continue with his journey, not before conversing with Shikamaru. Whatever her friend said to the blonde, it caused Naruto to run off without another word. As for Guy… Sakura shuddered, the man needed to take a chill pill… After spending the night at the Pokécenter, it was decided to continue with their journey. Which resulted with doing some training beforehand.
"I'm going to take a nap…" Shikamaru yawned aloud, he placed Shieldon's Pokéball back in it's place before he walked off in a seemingly random direction. "Wake me up in an hour, I want to get through the forest before it gets dark."
Sakura paused, oh right… the forest. She looked over her shoulder towards the direction of Eterna Forest. She had heard rumors of the place and none of them are good. Rumor has it, there's an abandoned mansion, the Old Chateau, in the forest and that the previous owners were either killed or run out of there. Since then, no one had taken it over and it was left for the Pokémon that roamed around the forest. Parents would tell their children about the abandoned the mansion, warning them that if they misbehaved, they'll end up there. "Oh…"
Shikamaru stopped walking, he debated if he should turn around to ask what was wrong with Sakura or should just go take a nap. With a grumble, he knew that if Ino was here and would smack him for not helping his friend. "What's wrong now?"
"Huh?" Sakura head snapped up and looked over at Shikamaru to see him staring at her, waiting for a response. "Oh, nothing is wrong… really."
"…Does it have to do with the abandoned Chateau?" Shikamaru asked with an eyebrow raised. He got his answer when the pinkette shuddered at the mention of said location. "Scared of ghost?"
"No! I'm scared of ghosts!" Sakura nearly screeched aloud, she saw how Shikamaru only rolled his eyes at her. "Are you?"
"My god-father is the gym leader back at Johto, he has several ghost type Pokémon. My friends and I got use to them… after a while…" Shikamaru looked away, lost in the thought of all the memories of dealing with Inoichi Yamanaka, the Gym Leader of Ecruteak City the Ghost and Poison type. Inoichi had, at several times, sent his Pokémon after his daughter, Choji and himself. He would say all in good fun, yeah… all in good fun. "Terrifying…"
"Do you have any ghost type Pokémon?" Sakura asked quietly, she hugged Rosie closer to her.
"I only have one. She's a Misdreavus." Shikamaru answered, he then turned around and head towards a tree to take a nap. "Wake me up in an hour."
-.-
"Well, well, well… if it isn't my rival…"
"… What a drag."
To be continued…
