Hey Guys, sorry about taking so long to get chapters out. School takes a lot time out of my schedule. I'm going to try to work out a deadline for chapters so you guys aren't waiting to randomly get an email about a new chapter. Once I get that figured out you hopefully won't have to go too long with out a new chapter.
Silver watched the battle between Luna and the stranger from the doorway. Gin was sitting in between his feet, observing the fight. "Your master is working hard Gin." Silver smirked.
"Eve." The pokemon nodded.
"That guy knows what he's doing. If Luna's not careful, he'll beat her." Gin apparently didn't like Silver saying things like that because he growled at him. "I'm just saying Gin. Luna can win, but she's got to be careful what she does." He told the small pokemon and picked him up. Gin fought with Silver for a bit before finding a comfortable position in his arms. There was a small bench by the wall so Silver snuck in and went to sit down.
A small cry came from under the bench and when Silver look under the bench there was a white Eevee sitting down there. It glared at him and stuck up its nose. "I guess it has a sassy personality, Gin." He put Gin down on the bench, pulled out a pokepuff and held it out for the Eevee. The pokemon walked up to the pokepuff, sniffed it, and then knocked it out of his hand. Only after the puff had hit the ground did the stuck up pokemon finally take a bite.
"Oh, sorry about Tsuki. She's kind of a brat. I'm Jameson." A voice spoke. The boy that Luna had been battle was in front of him. The white Eevee ran up to him and pawed at his legs, but the boy ignored her.
"Silver," He introduced. "Why is she white? Aren't most Eevees brown like Gin here?" Silver asked, picking up Luna's pokemon and putting him in his lap.
"She's a shiny. It's rare enough to find a female Eevee, but a shiny as well is almost unbelievable."
"You have a pretty interesting team. A shiny Eevee, a Gardevoir, and a Froslass."
"Yeah, we're weird alright but we work well together. We impress a lot of people."
"Hey, Silver!" Luna yelled.
"Yeah?" Silver replied.
"How much time do we have till that concert?" She asked.
"About forty-five minutes." He answered.
"Can you have Pidge battle with Gin? I want him to get use to battling." She asked.
"Sure." Silver stood up. "It was nice to meet you." He held out his hand.
Jameson shook it. "You too." He turned to his pokemon. "Cleo, Yuki. We're gonna go." He called. Jameson picked up the shiny Eevee and started to leave before turning back to Silver. "I hope we meet again." He smiled then walked out of the room.
"Silver, are you coming?" Luna called.
"Ah, yeah. Sorry." Silver apologized. He pulled out Pidge's Pokeball and released him. Gin ran over to Luna and Silver walked over to the field.
"Maybe I should get a flying type." She stated.
"That would be a good idea. Then they could learn fly and you could go visit your mom and Hannah." He explained. "And Ethan." He muttered.
"What was that?" She asked.
"Nothing. Just talking to myself a bit. Old habits die hard." He lied. Luna glared at him for a second before shrugging her shoulders. "So did you win or did Jameson? I got distracted at the end." Silver asked.
"Neither of us won. He had something to do apparently so we called it a tie. He probably would have won. Is Pidge ready?"
"Pidgey!" The pokemon cried.
"I'm pretty sure that's a yes." Silver smiled.
"Ready Gin?" Luna asked.
"Eevee!"
"Alright. Gin, Tackle."
"Pidge, Sand Attack." As Gin lunged towards Pidge, he threw sand into Gin's eyes. Gin cried and landed on top of Pidge. The bird quickly pecked at Gin without an order from Silver. Gin tried to bite Pidge, but he just scratched Gin with his talons. The Eevee got off of Pidge and ran straight to Luna and hide behind her. Luna got down and started to talk with Gin, but when it was clear that Gin wanted nothing more to do with the battle Luna picked him up.
"We forfeit." She told him. "You win Silver." Luna started to walk off the field when Silver remembered that she hadn't finished her battle with Jameson. It was a tie.
"You still have a pokemon you could use. Are you sure you want to forfeit?" Luna looked at him for a second then at Gin.
"No, I'm not going to lose that easily to you, Silver." Luna put Gin down and called Tot over. "Ready to go?" She asked.
"Croconaw!" The Pokemon yelled.
"Ice Fang!" Luna yelled.
"Quick Attack!" Silver ordered. Tot went to bite Pidge and managed to land an attack before the pokemon attacked back.
"Water Gun."
"Gust." Pidge dodged before Tot's attack could hit, and then attacked with gust.
"Again Tot," Luna told him. Tot shot a blast of water at Pidge and it hit. Pidge winced as he hit the ground.
"Pidge, you alright?" Silver asked. Pidge struggled to get up but managed to get up. The pokemon started to retreat when a familiar glow covered him. His figure grew larger as he evolved and soon the once familiar Pidgey was replaced with a Pidgeotto.
Silver smiled brightly. Pidge had evolved. He looked as if he was ready to topple over and pass out, but he had evolved into a Pidgeotto. "Come on back Pidge." Silver called, pulling out another Pokeball. The pokemon stumbled over to Silver before he returned Pidge to his ball and released his Mareep.
Bow yawned as she walked onto the battlefield, looking tired and bored. Tot glared at her, waiting for Luna's orders."Ready?"
Silver nodded. "Thunder Shock." Bow shot a jolt of lightning at Tot. He cried out in pain before passing out. "Nice work Bow." Silver complemented.
"Mareep." The Pokemon replied, blandly. Luna pulled out Bell's Pokeball and released her.
"Alright, girl. It's up to you. You can do it Bell." Luna encouraged. Bell looked to Luna and nodded before she walked onto the field to battle Bow. "Tackle!" She ordered.
"Dodge it Bow!" Bell when into attack, but Bow quickly moved out of the way before tackling Bell. As the two continued to fight, Luna noticed a faint glow radiating off of the two Mareeps. When Bow and Bell stopped to breath, that's when they started to evolve. Silver didn't seem surprised that they were evolving.
When the glow faded their Mareeps had evolved into Flaaffies. "I was wondering when you'd finally evolve Bow." Silver spoke.
"How'd you know that they would be evolving soon?" Luna asked.
"Because Pidge evolved and we use Bow and Bell more often than I use Pidge." He explained.
As Luna admired her pokemon, Silver pulled out his pokemon gear. "Shoot. Luna, we need to end the battle here or we'll miss the performance. We need to go heal our pokemon before we leave too."
"Alright, so you win then," Luna told him.
"Huh? Why do I win?"Silver asked, returning Bow to her ball.
"Tot fainted, but Pidge didn't." She answered.
"Yeah, but Tot was tired and hurt from your battle with Jameson." He explained.
"Just take the win since it's probably going to be the only one you get from me."
"Alright, I win. Let's go heal our pokemon." Silver chucked.
The two rivals walked into the loud theater. There were cushions on the floor for seats. Most of them were already full so Silver and Luna sat down in their seats quickly and waited for the show to start. Five girls dressed in Kimonos walked onto the stage and bowed. The tallest of the girls was in the center and the shortest girls were on the ends.
The girls bowed and waited for their cue to start when suddenly the cord holding up one of the lights snapped. The light crashed down onto the stage, barely missing the girl at the end. Shattered glass scattered across the floor as the girls screamed and huddled together.
A disturbing laugh echo through the theater as a man wearing black walked on stage. There was a Koffing at his side and a Bright red "R" was on his chest. "Hello, Ladies. Lovely evening for a show, don't you think?" The grunt's sadistic grin sent shivers down Silver's spine.
"W-what do you want?" The tallest of the dancers asked, trying to guard the girls hiding behind her. One had burst into tears.
"Oh, nothing much. Just world domination and control of the legendary pokemon. Nothing to worry your pretty little heads about." He chuckled, licking his lips.
"Out of the corner of his eye, Silver noticed Luna reaching for a Pokeball. He grabbed her wrist. "What are you doing?" He questioned. "Do you have a plan?"
"Someone needs to help. I need you to cause a distraction so I can get up on stage. Please, Silver. If we don't help now, I may lose my confidence and someone could get hurt." Luna explained.
"Are you sure?" Silver asked.
"Positive." She nodded. "Besides, I'll have my rival at my side helping out." Silver let go of Luna's arm and grabbed Pidge's Pokeball. Luna nodded, showing that she was ready to move, and he released his pokemon.
"Gust!" Silver ordered. Pidge used his wings and directed the attack at the grunt. Luna shot from her seat, a Pokeball in each hand, to the stage. She quickly released Bell and Tot.
"Water Gun, Thundershock." Her team attacked just before Koffing let out a thick screen of smoke. The room filled and Silver lost sight of Luna.
"Gust." Silver waited as Pidge flapped, clearing his view of the stage.
"Tackle," Luna yelled. Bell and Tot each chose a target and attacked. The Flaaffy hit Koffing, knocking it out while Tot pinned down the grunt. The theater doors burst open and Officer Jenny and her team rushed in and took over for Luna, Tot, and Bell. Luna climbed down off the stage and without thinking Silver ran over to her and embraced her in his arms.
Realizing what he'd done, Silver let go just as Luna wrapped her arms around him. She was shaking. Silver held onto her as she tried to calm down. When she finally let go, the grunt had been handcuffed and the fallen light removed from the stage. Staff members were cleaning off the glass and Jenny was leading the grunt away. As they passed by Silver, the grunt gave him a sly grin. "Better watch out." He laughed. "Mummy's watching and she isn't happy with you." He started to cackle and Officer Jenny backhanded him.
"Anything you say can and will be used against you." She told him. The grunt simply laughed at her and continued to stare Silver down as he was dragged out of the theater.
Silver sighed and he and Luna went back to there seats when the tallest of the Kimono dancers walked over to them. "Thank you so much. I don't know how we can ever repay you."
"There's no need," Luna told her.
"There must be something we can do. I believe we have two open seats in the front row. Would you like to sit there instead?" The dancer offered. Silver looked to Luna and she shook her head.
"Thank you for your offer, but no thank you. I like where I'm sitting." Luna smiled.
"Miki!" one of the dancers yelled. The tall dancer turned to look at them. "We're ready to start if you are." Miki turned back to Luna and Silver.
"Duty calls. I hope you enjoy the show." She walked to the stage and Silver and Luna sat down.
"We seem to be a magnet for trouble." Luna giggled. Silver laughed.
The five dancers took their positions, bowed and then started to dance to the soft constant rhythm of bells and other instruments. They were elegant and beautiful, gracefully moved across the floor. The mood in the room quickly changed from stressful to a peaceful calm.
As he watched the dancers, Silver felt a head lay on him. He looked to find Luna soundly asleep with her head resting on his left shoulder. He smiled and rested his head on her's as he watched the show.
That's all for now. Thank you guys for sticking around. I hope you'll continue to read. Please leave a comment if you have any suggestion on what I can do better. Until next time.
