~ Eevee
I turned around to see Sylveon in his new high school top.
"Nice uniform."
"Thanks. How have you been lately Eevee?"
"Just perfect. I'm here to help Fennekin here confess her feelings. Isn't that right Fennekin?"
"Uh yeah yeah I am...Now who are you gorgeous?"
Whoah! I did not see that one coming! I guess Sylveon tends to have that effect on a lot of girls. But why it left me feeling jealous I had no idea.
"Hahahaha! I like your spunk kid! But I don't see anyone by 'gorgeous' around here. I'm Sylveon. Do you know what she's talking about Eevee?"
"No clue. And umm Froakie...why are you bright red?"
Did Froakie have a crush on Fennekin? It sort of seems like it but maybe I'm wrong.
"Huh?! I am! Ah, it's nothing!! Don't worry about it!!"
"Ookaayyy...Anyways Sylveon, where's Riolu?"
"I thought he'd be here already. But it looks like we'll have to- Oh there he is."
We all turned to see Riolu approaching with a lot of bandaids on his face.
"What happenned to you? You look like you walked into a store that was having a sale."
"My new teammate is what happenned."
"Uh 'new teammate'? I'm not sure I follow..."
"Our new coach decided the best way to kick off the school year was to introduce us to our new double-battle partner. And for introductions she suggested it best we spar with one another. As for my partner...well you could say she doesn't exactly want to work with me. And she almost beat the crap out of me as a result."
"That sucks. Who is your partner?"
"A shiny Eevee. But she is not nice at all like our friend. She's stubborn, brutal, way too independent, and just terrible. I can't believe I have to work with her for the rest of the year too. Why me of all Pokemon?"
"Cheer up. She's probably not as bad as you say, and for now just keep your hopes up that it will get better. Because with that attitude you're not going to last long in middle school. I mean it could be worse right?"
"I guess so. But she's not making easy with that short temper of hers either. So I don't know how I'm even going to put up with her."
"Uh huh. I- Oh! Wait is that her?"
I pointed at an agitated looking Eevee stomping down the sidewalk. She fits Riolu's description, but was she really as bad as he says?
"Oh umm, hello *Eevee-"
"Zip it weakling! I only agreed to team up with you only because they threatened to not give me credit if I didn't! So don't even bother trying to cozy up to me! Are we clear?!"
"Yeah we are."
"Tch! When you speak you tick me off! Shut up!"
"But you just said-"
The Eevee put her foot onto Riolu's and starting applying pressure onto it.
"I don't care what I said, but when I tell you to do something you do it. And if I want you to shut up, you shut up. So keep your f*ing mouth shut. Understood?"
"Yes...Ma'am..."
"All of you get out of my face."
We all stepped aside to let her pass.
When she bumped into an Absol on her way, and just before he could offer a word of apology, she punched him into the nearby tree.
She muttered something incoherently and continued stomping on her way. When Sylveon suddenly burst into hysterics making me raise an eyebrow.
"Hahahahahaha!!! That was hysterical!!! Hahahahahaha!!!"
"Sylveon. You're the only one that's laughing."
"Hahahahahaha!!! Well Riolu she seems like a nice catch so good luck!!!"
"Uh thanks?"
"What a wierdo. Anyways Riolu, this is Fennekin."
"N-n-n-n-n-n-n-n nice to m-m-m-m-m meet you R-R-R-Riolu."
"Uh you too?"
Oh boy...
"You guys want to go with us to Magikonalds for our study group?"
"Uh sure! We'd like that gorgeous!"
"I still have no idea who that is. But he's welcome along too."
I walked behind everyone as Fennekin was openly flirting with Sylveon as we walked to Magikonalds.
But why I wanted to get between I still didn't know.
(Note : Can Riolu handle his new 'teammate'? Find out in Ch 55 ~ Riolu (Male!))
