A new arrival
Season 1 Episode 2
Two days passed since our fantastic "meeting". I finally found the time to return to the Spear Pillar, at Dialga and Palkia's home, to ask them for information on currency exchange. This because the afternoon of the meeting day Giulia literally forced me to go to the bathhouse "Carlo 17" with our friends: I didn't do a fuck for 3 or 4 hours, at the end I was really bored! Yesterday, then, I went to Rimini airport to see some airplanes, I love them. Today, however, I am supposed to be free; for security, before opening the portal, I turn off my phone, hoping that my cousin doesn't disturb me. Like the last time, I get Riolu in the Pokéball, I hold the medallion in my hand and pronounce "Spear Pillar". The portal opens, I dip into it, and after a while I am on the floor surrounded by columns that looks like the Vatican. I find the two legendary immediately in front of me.
«Oh, Mirkho! What a coincidence, we were about to call you here telepathically»
«Oh, really? Tell me»
«We wanted to tell you before, but we forgot it. In case you don't know it, we have prepared a machine for the money exchange»
«Oh, well, thank you! I came here for the same reason! Great, now it's better!»
I walk over to the machine, and the display says: 1 € = 0.8011 ₱. Wow, I did the right calculations!
«There are exchange machines in each city of each region, in places that only you can know»
«Again, thank you. You do all this just for us…»
«Because you and your friends are humans with a pure heart. It is we who should thank you for your love towards us, promise us that you will do everything to defend us»
«I solemnly promise» I put a hand on my heart.
«Ok. Bye, Mirkho, have fun in your travels»
«Thank you, have a nice day»
I return back to my world and I look at the time: half past eleven. I eat a small snack to fill a little my stomach, before going, along with Julia and my friends, in a restaurant to have lunch. I go in my bedroom, arrange the clothes in the closet, and when I was about to sit down, a powerful light blinds me for a while. When I return to see something, I see a portal whence someone comes out.
«What the fuck…?» I cover my eyes with my arms.
When the light disappears, after half a minute, I do not believe my eyes: in front of me there is Renamon, my favorite Digimon! I remain speechless for a while, then I find the strength to speak:
«R-Renamon…?! Oh fuck… is it really you?»
She is lying on the mat, unconscious. It's hard for me to speak:
«Oh my God… and now what should I do? Ho-how did she come here?»
I watch her for a few seconds, then, caressing her flank, I feel the softness of her fur, which I remain amazed of.
«Wow ... what does she use when she takes a shower? Wow… I have to do something…»
I decide to lift and lay her on my bed, the mat is not really soft. How heavy! And now… let's wait for her to wake up. And here's the problem: I just hope that when she wakes she doesn't destroy my house in the throes of a fright.
«Renamon… hey, Rena, wake up!»
I give her a couple of light bumps, after which she begins to open his eyes slightly. She turns her head a couple of times, then jumps up.
«Where… where am I?»
She sees me and starts staring at me.
«Who… who are you?»
«I am Mirkho, nice to meet you. You suddenly appeared into my house, I couldn't sit there and do nothing, I'm sorry» I tell her, calmly.
«Sorry for what? I don't think you've done something wrong… however, I'm Renamon. Am I in the Pokémon world?» asks me looking around.
She also has a beautiful voice. Wait a minute… did she mention the Pokémon world?!
«Uhm… I'm sorry, but I think you have the wrong address… you're in the real world… or maybe if you call it in another way, I don't know…but that's not the Pokémon world»
«How…?! Did they send me to the wrong world?!»
«"They" who?»
She suddenly run out from my room and starts running around the house.
«Renamon, stop! Wait a minute!»
She stops on the terrace and begins to look around alarmed.
«It can't be… how could this happen?»
«What? Can you explain, Renamon?»
«I should have be sent into the world of Pokémon, because I wanted to begin the adventure I've always dreamed of! I can't believe that I finished in the wrong world!» and sticks a fist that shakes the entire railing.
She, in the Pokémon world too? Curious, considering the fact that she is a Digimon.
«You will begin an adventure with Pokémon too?»
«What?! What do you mean?»
«I'm about to begin it too… I had the "permission", and now I'm free to leave…»
She looks at me intently, puts her hand on my shoulder, and whispers to me:
«So… will you give me a hand? Do you want to?»
«Of course, I am also very knowledgeable about Pokémon. Tomorrow… what do you think if we leave together?»
«Okay, Mirkho» she answered me, smiling.
We hug, and after a few seconds we start to kiss. A few seconds later, finished the long kiss (I don't know why I didn't resist), on the terrace of the house in front of us we see an old man who looks at us, adjusting his glasses to see better.
«Oh, fuck, this ballbuster is always there… come on, it's better go in, if anyone sees you in my world I don't know what it would happen»
«Why? In this world it's not normal to see Digimons?» she asks, while we return.
«Absolutely not! Only in anime! In this world there are only humans!»
«Oh really? That sucks… – she sits on my bed - where do you find the fun, if there isn't someone else, not human, and able to speak, next to you?»
I sit next to her.
«You're absolutely right, Rena… you don't know, for example, the emotion that I'm feeling now seeing my favorite Digimon next to me»
«You see, huh? But… how do you know me?»
«I've said it before, you're a cartoon character»
«Really?»
«I swear it on everything! Look here»
I take from the closet a DVD with some episodes of Digimon Tamers and I offer it to her.
«Wow, that's incredible… I'm there, how to explain it… they know of our existence, even if not directly? I don't know how to say it»
«More or less… we can also say that perhaps they may have had a mark of your existence, or in a dream or astral travel (you know, this is a custom of this world). I'm seriously beginning to think that after I saw you, because the same thing happened with Pokémon»
«Wow! So…»
«So very few people may know that you exist for real… while the rest of humanity is convinced that you are just anime characters. For this reason I have told you before that if they find you or a Pokémon in this world, at least they take it to the laboratory for experiments and vivisection… I prefer not to continue, however, you understand, right?»
«Yes… my dream is that this world, sooner or later, will be populated by Pokémon, Digimon, and who knows who else»
«How blame you… anyway, continuing the story… I do not think that a full integration is possible immediately… humans would kill someone for sure… and then there's also the downside: there are dangerous people in this world, if the Pokémon fall into bad hands, like Gaddafi, Bin Laden, the Taliban in Afghanistan… I don't know what would happen, we would arrive at the 3rd World War»
«Yeah, it's true… so mine is an impossible dream»
«Not at all, I believe in magic and miracles, if it happens, I think that something good would come to stop the evil intentions… for example, there are Pokémon who, with special special moves, can change people's behavior, making them become good»
«Wow, not bad…»
«Anyway, speaking of our "adventure", I tell you that we are not only the two of us»
«Oh really? Who else comes with us?»
«We are together with my cousin and some of my childhood friends»
«I'll be happy to know them. I've heard of this "rivalry" between Pokémon and Digimon… well, you know that it is not my case. Quite the contrary… it will seem strange, but I'm a Digimon who loves Pokémon»
«I'm glad to know that. But now I give you to dress up, you can't go out with tits and ass outside»
«Yeah, you're right»
I give her some clothes that my cousin no longer uses, which in theory I wanted to give my sister when she grows (she will be 10 at the end of July), a pink short-sleeved T-shirt, panties, and a nice jeans skirt. They're perfect. At the skirt I had to make a hole for her tail. Now I don't have bras, I'll think about when I can.
«You're beautiful»
«Thank youuuu!»
We lie on my bed. Renamon lies down on me, and we kiss. Suddenly the door of my room opens, and my cousin broke into the room:
«Hey, Mirkho, do you… oh my God! W-Who are you? What the fuck, it's an invasion!»
Renamon gets up, I go to my cousin and I explain everything:
«Julia, she is Renamon. If you know the Digimon, you know what I'm talking about. Don't worry, she doesn't eat anyone. I was incredulous too when she appeared in my room!»
The two girls approach.
«Hello, nice to meet you»
«I-It's a p-pleasure, Renamon… sorry for my reaction… I'm Julia, her cousin»
«Don't worry, everything is fine. I'm interested to the journey into the world of Pokémon. Can I join you?»
«Sure, you can come with us. Anyway… Mirkho, I came to ask you if you have a camera»
«And why? You have one with 12 megapixels and you want mine that has 10?»
«That idiot of my sister has broken it, they are repairing it, thank goodness it's still under warranty»
I hand her the camera.
«Here, and you tell to that girl that the camera is not a toy»
«If it were easy… I'll give you it back, bye»
«Bye»
Julia is gone, and we are left alone again.
«I bet that within two days she puts it all on Facebook and I find myself tagged in a pile of crap»
«Speaking of Facebook, Mirkho… I saw on your computer that you have an account with my name»
«Don't worry, Rena… it was my way of showing that I go crazy for you»
«I don't eat you! Do you want to leave it to me?»
«Of course! At least it is a bit used… is at risk of closure for inactivity!»
I write the email and password on a piece of paper, which withdraws in the ex-portfolio of my cousin.
«The email, however, is mine… it is the one I use for the account on the website of my school»
«It's not a problem, my love»
Huh? Love?
We kiss again. Having a Digimon as a girlfriend… amazing! Finally it's all true! I always wanted to be engaged with Renamon, and is now a reality! What period in my life I'm living! I discovered the existence of Pokémon, Digimon and I have Renamon as a girlfriend! If it's a dream don't wake me! I would like to see the face of my classmates, when they see that she and the Pokémon really exist! And there I will laugh, all right!
Suddenly, Lady Gaga's song "Poker Face" disturbs our moment together. I'm not referring strictly to Lady Gaga, but to my phone. [Editor's note: Lady Gaga reigns!]
«Hello… tell me, Yle»
«Mirkho, we are waiting… you've jotted yourself down somewhere?»
I look at the time and… I can't believe it! It's past noon! Among Renamon, my cousin and all the rest, I didn't notice that is passed a lot of time!
«Oh shit… yeah, I'm coming!»
I close the call.
«Love, I'm sorry but I have to go to lunch with my friends, I'm in an apocalyptic late. Come on, come with us, I'll let you know them»
«Ok»
We go down at full speed, but we get hindered by my grandmother, who approaches to Renamon:
«Who are you?»
«That's my girl, grandma» I answer.
«And are you from Rimini?»
«Yes, I am!» she answers convinced.
«Oh well then. Bye»
Thank goodness…
«We're lucky, my grandmother doesn't understand nothing… she didn't see that you're not human!»
We leave the gate and reach my friends, who are watching Renamon disbelief.
«B-But… I know you… you're Renamon!» says James.
We join the group.
«My friends, I present to you Renamon, high-class Digimon… as well as my girlfriend»
«High-class… don't overdo it» she says, smiling.
«Wow, do you exist too?» Lucy is incredulous too.
«Oh, it seems so» I replied looking at Renamon.
«After Mirkho told me that you were going to the world of Pokémon, I came in seventh heaven… I beg you, can I join you? I love Pokémon!»
«Yes, it's okay. You can come with us» they answers in unison.
«Thank you, guys»
«It's a pleasure. Please, can I touch your tail?»
«Just don't pull it, it's not one of the best feelings… for the rest you can do what you want»
James rubs his face on Renamon's tail for a few seconds, then Ylenia calls her:
«Wanna come to eat with us?»
«Yes, I'd like to, thank you»
«Okay, I'm going to call "La Posada" restaurant and I ask if they can add one more place»
James spoke again:
«Renamon, but you're a Rimini FC supporter?»
«Huh? No, I don't follow so much soccer»
«I gave her this hat. I have two of them, I gave one to her, the sun is too much bright» I reply.
«Well… I, Mirkho, David and his brother are rowdy fans of Rimini Soccer Team»
«While we were coming, we got stopped by my grandmother, she didn't understand that she is not human… there, quiet, she stopped us and let us go»
«But if your grandmother is stoned, I'm sorry if I tell you…»
«Don't worry, you're right! I'm sorry, I've never wanted that she got reduced this way»
We walk towards the restaurant "La Posada", which is located in Via Paolo Toscanelli, one of my favorite restaurants. No one, when we enter the restaurant, seems to have any kind of reaction, even when the waiter came for the order, he asked her what she wants and has gone after receiving the order. Well, so much the better. We eat a bit strange today: pasta, piadina, Ylenia prefers seafood salad (the usual woman who is attentive to the line!). Renamon begins to tell what she had previously told me: where she comes from, how she reached this world, why she has grown loving Pokémon… and also adds a curious detail:
«At least the Pokémon have a lot of different names, did you ever hear ours? They all end in "-mon", the Pokémon doesn't. But I'm not telling you to call me otherwise… Mirkho calls me "Rena", but if you call me with the full name is the same, I'm not offended»
«I already have a Pokémon, you know? I'm already prepared»
«Oh really? Wow… let me see it, please!»
«I can't do it here… if they discover the existence of the Pokémon you know what a mess that would be created? WTF, if mine get caught, they take it for experiments, as I told you before… and the same with all the others who were to find… Michela Vittoria Brambilla can't do anything here… and then if the people of this world with bad intentions goes there combining all kinds of trouble… there would be a diplomatic crisis, not only the third world war… there are Pokémon that can annihilate all if we do something bad! Now I would just like to prevent the population of this planet falls to 0 with vertical collapse!»
«Don't be so apocalyptic! Don't worry, nothing will happen! Will you show me your Pokémon later?»
«Yes, later, let's go Ylenia's home and I can let her out. It's a Riolu»
«Uh… maybe… I know who Riolu is… I don't remember… oh well, I'll know later. And then… it seems that anyone didn't notice me, how is it possible?»
«It will be a case, sooner or later the situation will go out of control»
«Why do you always think to the worst? Come on, let's continue to eat»
After eating, we continue taking a walk along the seafront and then we head back to home.
Let's go in the back of the Ylenia's house, where she puts stuff for cleaning and a sink, a small piece of one square meter estimated. I take the Pokéball from my cousin's bag (I keep it there for the moment, when we are definitely in the world of Pokémon I will use my backpack) and I get out Riolu.
«How cute… it's beautiful, Mirkho…» Renamon hugs her and picks her up. Riolu is happy.
«She's a female»
«Ah… well. Hello puppy, I'm Renamon, nice to meet you»
Riolu does his verse and hugs Renamon back. Then I greet my friends, and go home.
«Rena, what do you say? Let's go buy some clothes for you? You have only two or three other clothes taken from my cousin… better expand the wardrobe, what d'ya think?»
«You're right. Where are we going to?»
«To a store named "Oviesse"… it's located in the center of Rimini, it's a clothing store. It's the closest from here»
«Okay, let's go, honey»
«Let's take the bikes. I'm not an adult, so I can't take you with me on the scooter, this is the only way, unless you want to walk»
«No, no… are you crazy?» says me hugging me and resting her head on my shoulder.
I take some money from my private safe, and more moneys are given me by my grandmother (every time I go out, if she sees me, she fills me with money… in practice a large part of her pension ends up in my hand… although unintentionally, I'm learning to be a perfect evader… or not?) then we take the bike out of the garage and ride to the city center.
«Be careful, Renamon, that downtown streets are all cobbled… you could have hemorrhoids, some are full of holes!»
«Ah… ok, good to know, heh heh»
At the "Oviesse" we take summer t-shirts, shorts, some bras (it was necessary, because her breasts were bouncing like balls) and sunglasses. Added a couple of clothes for the winter, we spend almost 200 €.
«We've spent a lot…» I comment.
«You pay these capitals only for me… thank you so much… sooner or later I will find a way to repay you»
«Don't worry… I don't work, but it's not a problem, I have my grandmother as a bank» I joke about.
After being in another store to buy a backpack for our future trip, we returned home determined to start preparing to leave. With Riolu's help, we begin to put the clothes in the backpacks.
«We don't have a Pokédex…»
«It will be given to us there, don't worry. Oh, I haven't told you, let's start from the Johto region»
«Ah, well, I know there are some good Pokémon there… I can't wait!»
«Same for me. If you had arrived two days ago, you would have attended the meeting that I and the others have made about the adventure… it would have been useful to you, there we have clarified all»
«Ah… I'm sorry that I didn't come here first, so… if you like, you can give me a recap of what you said?»
«Of course»
I clearly explain in broad outline everything that we talked about, and she shows very concerned.
«All clear, thank you very much, honey»
«You're welcome. Come on, you should better put a couple more t-shirts, you never know»
«Ok»
«That's good. Now we should better not put more stuff, there's something for a week, the rest of the space is destined for the Pokémon food, the various potions, and the Pokéball container»
«Okay, you're the expert»
I think I'm more or less like a Pokédex… after I watched 10 and more years of Pokémon episodes now I know almost everything»
«There's also this new region, Unova…»
«Oh well… I preferred not to consider it because it has just been discovered… we should better wait for now»
«No, no, quiet, I didn't ask to go there right now»
I finish everything and close my backpack, but I remember that I forgot one important thing:
«Uh… Riolu, would you get me the speakers please?»
Riolu takes them immediately.
«Thank you, my puppy… I don't ever separate myself from these speakers… is the only way to make my cousin mad without talking to her by person… ha ha!»
«What a fool you are! Poor girl!»
«What "poor girl"! With all the times that she makes me turn my "balls"»
«That's not a good reason!»
«What the fuck, how are sensitive you girls…»
Renamon starts laughing leaning on me. Then we decided to have our moment of greatest intimacy: we hang on the door the "do not disturb" signboard, we strip off and have some fun. But… when Riolu, who meanwhile was in the next room, comes in the bedroom and catches us, her eyes widen horrified.
«Don't worry, puppy, we aren't doing nothing particular»
My Pokémon approaches me and kisses me on the mouth, then hugs me. She had already done it before, so I don't mind so much. However, we decide to close the matter here… surely I don't wanna have sex with my Pokémon! We dress quickly, then, being almost three o' clock, I decided to go to watch TV:
«Rena, now there is Rimini's soccer match, is the national final of the D-Series play-off; before arriving at the final Rimini FC has beaten many other teams, without ever losing: Teramo, Forlì, Vallée Aoste and Voghera. And now there is the Turris FC. Just think that once the Rimini FC was in B-Series»
«Oh yeah? Wow, what a great result… and why now is there?»
«Because it happened a mess… a couple of years ago was relegated to C1 due to a championship distorted in every way, sooner or later you will hear talk of "match-fixing". Anyway… the team finished fourth that year, it made the play-offs for the B series but was eliminated in the semifinals from Hellas Verona. At Rimini needed the promotion to have money to save it from bankruptcy, as the main sponsor had literally abandoned it, but Rimini FC failed, thanks also to the economic crisis, and was forced to start from the hell of D-Series, the one for amateurs teams. But now the nightmare might end, my Rimini FC is being revived, and will come back stronger than before, in the face of all those who didn't believe it!»
«I hope so, for you and for the city. Such a beautiful place couldn't not have a strong team»
«Thank you, my love… you completely understand me!»
During the kick-off, we kiss deeply, then we begin to follow the game. At 25 of the first half the Rimini FC went close to scoring.
«Uhhh… oh my… what Onescu did» but at 40 1st half gets a resounding crossbar, the goalkeeper was beaten. Renamon and I shoot standing with our hands to the heads.
The second half is very weak, with the teams very short. Nothing done, regular time ended 0-0. During extra times Turris FC scared us two or three times, but the goalkeeper Scuffia did well to defend the door. But Rimini FC goes even close to scoring with a low shot narrowly wide of Olcese after a nice break. But in the end we must suffer the penalties. It's the most tense moment of every important game, in which you are all the time with nerves on edge. Rimini FC scores the first penalty, we put our hands close to each other. Even Turris FC scores. The red and white guys scores 2-1, and when the corals (they are called this way, I don't know why) fail their penalty, we scream happy. 3-1 in favor of Rimini FC, then Turris fails another one. I'm eating all the nails. But now Rimini FC fails too, and they score the 3-2. There remains only one penalty. If Rimini FC scores it, we are in C2-series. Me and Renamon hug each other. The player starts to run… then shoots… GOOOOOOOAAAAALLL! I jumped up and put in place the greatest joy I've ever done in my life, the Rimini has been promoted! We hug, then call James, who couldn't see the game because he was away with his mother. He is happy too.
«Come on, Rena, now we have to do well in C2-series, we must return to the levels of the past!»
«Because that's what this team deserves» concluded Renamon.
I go into the room to put one important thing in my backpack: the plate for the piadina. In fact, I don't want to give up the delicious food of my region, when I leave. Then I swear I won't put anything else. The only problem is mortadella*, 'cos if it stays there for more than two days it becomes uneatable. We will think to it when it will be the time. I already have in mind the piadina with Oran Berries, it wouldn't be so bad, I love them. Even their juice is fantastic.
I'm going to do a quick round of calls to see if everyone is ready.
«Yle? Hello, it's me… how are you with the preparations? Huh? Ah, you're done? Fine. Your brother already said that's ready… ok… no, I'm doing a round of calls to see if we are ready, because if we are we could start already tomorrow. Ok, bye»
Then I call David.
«Hey David, are you ready? Ah, you're ending? Ok ok, I'll let you finish in peace, okay. If all we are ready, we can start already tomorrow, okay? Bye, bye»
Even Lucia and my cousin are very ready, and therefore I send a multiple message to everyone (except my cousin because, being outside to dry clothes, I've shouted, for the good peace of the neighborhoods, thus saving precious pennies) saying that we'll leave tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock. Finally, we will leave for our adventure at least I've always dreamed of. Let's enjoy this last night in the real world. To finish in a good way, I would like to take a walk to the Adamello square and via Toscanelli, every night packed with interesting markets (except "vu cumprà", for the most part owned by black people, who sell a big mountain of shit, plus there's also a woman-statue, of those who paint themselves white and don't move… I fucking hate them, because last year we have been persecuted by one of them for a half an hour asking money, she ran away only when she realized that I was going to put my hands on her). I eat dinner with my cousin again, and then, as established in the meantime, let's start our evening walk, that I love so much, because it relaxes the nerves. First of all, me and my cousin go on some mats on which you have to jump attached to the bungee cords, that's cool, I always do a lot of somersaults. Ylenia, Lucia and James are watching us while sucking up an ice cream taken to the next bar, while David makes us photos. A quarter of an hour, and we resumed our journey to the seafront. Julia stops by a Chinese man who is very good at drawing people's names with the typical Chinese style: local figures and doodles of all kinds. For 3 € he draws her name, puts it in her bag and then we go on. We also find some "hairdressers", I wouldn't go there even if I were forced, I don't let them put their hands in my hair, they do not have the slightest health protection. Later we find a bookshop, and, attacked, a sale of marshmallows. While Renamon buys a book to read, I take some candy, I cannot resist. Let's go ahead, and we find locations and locations of illegal vendors, you can recognize them because, unlike the regular ones, they put their stuff on a sheet, so when the police controls, they take all their stuff and throw themselves behind the hedge. With those I don't want to have anything to do, because for anyone who gets caught there are 1000 € of fine, and I don't have much money to waste. We stopped at a bar, where we all take a glass of Baileys, a bitter that I like a lot, except Lucy, who takes a Sex on the beach, another delicious cocktail. All of us smoke a lot… only David and James do not smoke, Ylenia… yeah, she rarely smokes a cigarette. When Renamon see me with the cigarette, she blurts out:
«But… Mirkho, do you smoke too?»
«Yeah… unfortunately I started smoking in 2006 when I was in depression…»
«Depression? Were you hurt?»
«I was feeling very bad, especially on moral grounds. The transfer to Piedmont had ruined my life, I lost weight more than 15 kg, I had arrived even to the wicked thought of killing myself…»
«Oh my God, Mirkho, killing yourself wouldn't definitely solved the life, no?»
«Actually you're absolutely right. Fortunately my friends never abandoned me»
My girlfriend hugs me and says:
«Oh, Mirkho, I'm so sorry… but now do you live here, right?»
«Yes, yes now, after all this time I got my mother's permission to go back to stay here. Here among my closest friends»
«We never abandoned you – says to me Lucy – and we'll not abandon you for any reason. We grew up together, right?»
«Thank you for taken care of him in some way, I immediately noticed that thanks to you all now he feels good» says Renamon.
«Don't worry! It's the least we can do, friends do this» continued Lucy.
Renamon asks me to let her smoke the last part of the cigarette. It's strange seeing her smoking the cigarette, a Digimon who smokes? If it was so even in the anime I don't think they would have aired them even in Japan. After that, we go to the next shop, that sells those shirts with written about all the crap imaginable: an image of a man and a woman married, saying "game over", a "prayer" against the communists, many with Mussolini, a shirt with "I'm not fat, is the shirt that makes effect". All very cool, even Renamon, by looking on some, bursts out laughing. I buy the t-shirt with the anti-communists prayer, because I support "Lega Nord", an italian political party that wants the independence of North Italy and hates communists, and I hate communists too. After about ten minutes we decided to go back, because from that point there is nothing. We stop where there are trampolines, it has been years that I go there when I have nothing to do. I, Renamon, James and David decide to go there, and we pay for 15 minutes of jumping. It's fun to go back to childhood sometimes. Renamon, having the skirt, every time she jumps I could see everything below. We lie together on the trampoline No. 1 (there are 10) and we kiss. When we finish the time, we take the sandals back and go on. Returning back, we cross the street and stopped at an ice cream shop that also makes the crepes. I'll take a nice big crepes, Renamon, Lucia and Ylenia take an ice cream and James takes a milkshake. After eating, we let us do make a group photo from a passer-by with in the background the junction Toscanelli street-Coletti street.
«Guys, tomorrow is the big day, our adventure begins… look Rivabella with all the lights for the last time… well, "last time" in an allegorical sense, of course we will come back here sometimes» says Lucy.
«Ah huh… well of course, with all the respect for the world of Pokémon, but I'd like every now and then to come back here to rest, I cannot live without Rimini» I respond.
«Mirkho, we are all of the same idea» adds Ylenia.
«Will you let me visit it one day? Aside from a quick trip to the "Oviesse" we've never gone out from Rivabella»
«Oh sure, love, don't worry»
«Ok, It's half past 10 pm, it is still a bit early… what do you guys wanna do?»
«Now we go to the soccer fields, Julia, I and James have booked for tonight»
«Ah, well ... then I, Ylenia and Lucy will do as spectators»
Let's go back to our street, David calls his brother Richard while we go on. We get into the fields and I let out Riolu, I think she definitely will have fun. Richard befriends Riolu, then we begin to play on penalties.
«Look, Riolu»
I put the ball on the penalty spot, I shoot, but I let my penalty saved by James, who in romagnolian tells me that I'm not good with penalties. I let Riolu try, after all she must have fun too. Incredibly, Riolu with a powerful shoot sends the ball into the top corner.
«Oh shit, Riolu, you amazed me…»
«Mirkho, you have to improve yourself eh… your Pokémon overtakes you! You are in a bad situation!»
«Oh James… I still have the mix Baileys-Nutella in my stomach that's stoning me, not to mention the vodka that I drunk this morning in the tea»
«Did you put the vodka into the tea? Are you crazy?!» screams my cousin.
«I wanted to try something new… you know I'm the king of the mixture!»
I won this particular title three years ago, when in a restaurant I mixed water, coke, wine, beer, spicy oil, lemon and something else I don't remember. It came out a black liquid with white lumps due to some kind of chemical reaction… I drank and I burped in a scandalous way… my cousin will remember it forever! She almost fainted! We stay there for more than an hour, then we pay, we greet the guardian and go home. Me, my cousin and Renamon smoke a last cigarette while we speak.
«My mother greets us all. She does it now because tomorrow morning works» says David.
«Okay, You say hello to her for us when you come back to your home» answers Ylenia.
«Sure!»
I lean on the gate of my house and starts an alarm.
«Oh my God, she broke my balls with this fucking alarm…» I comment.
«It's always this way, Mirkho… every time we come to play here, that alarm begins to make noise… 2 weeks ago I was catching the ball which was finished in front of the fence, I took it and the sound started; your grandmother came out and began to scream»
«I agree with David, it's impossible. Excuse us, Mirkho, but we are getting really tired of that shit…» adds James.
«Guys, you are both right… every night, is unbearable… my aunt is always angry! Three or four days ago she was leaving to go to work early in the morning, the alarm started and she has made a mess… incredible»
«And she is right…» joins my cousin.
«Only sometimes my grandmother doesn't activate it. Sometimes, when I ask her to remove it, she really removes it… but rarely. Oh well, standing here and talk about it among ourselves is not very useful. I'm beginning to be a little tired, my friends… I, Renamon and my cousin go to sleep. Night, guys»
«Goodnight everyone, bye!» they greet us.
After my grandmother took off the alarm, we go up through the stairs. Renamon and my cousin exchanges kisses on the cheeks and greet, and then we come back to my home. I immediately take a shower, and, shortly after, I was ready, in my pajama, ready for bed. But I suddenly hear a scream from downstairs:
«You turn off that fucking alarm tomorrow, because otherwise I'll destroy it!»
And another voice:
«Shut the fuck up! Of course I'll turn it off, go to sleep»
Oh no… please, not now… my aunt and my grandmother were born to fight…
«I'm sorry honey, but this is not a good time»
«Quiet, I'm going to take a shower»
I'm afraid of one thing: soon or then, by dint of hearing these quarrels, Renamon get tired and go away, something I would never want. Luckily, going into the world of Pokémon, we will be free from that shit! I look out the window. I see my aunt who looks down from her balcony to my grandmother who is in the garden below. They scream about most subjects 'til I decide to stop all:
«Hey! Sorry for the intrusion but there are people who would like to sleep here! And not only us, but also the neighbors! It's midnight! Stop it!»
«There's nothing I can do, is that douchebag of your grandmother with the alarm!» says me my aunt.
My grandmother replies immediately:
«You are a douchebag!»
They were about to restart again, but this time I'm ready:
«Stop it! Grandma, go to bed please! And you too, aunt, please, 'cos it's not the right time!»
«But it's not my f…»
«Grandma, I said stop! You are both stressful! Go to bed before someone denounces! You broke my balls!»
«You're right, I'm sorry, good night» says my aunt, entering his house.
My grandmother remains two minutes in the garden and then, finally, she come back too. Uh, the nightmare is finished! Somehow I stopped everything. I've got used to it by now, They are years I listen them arguing, I have learned in some way to stop them. I close the window, and after about ten minutes my girlfriend come out of the bathroom in a bathrobe.
«Did they finish?» asks her.
«Yes, fortunately I found a way to silence them. But now that we start our adventure, we will not hear them anymore, we may live peaceful»
We kiss. Riolu attracts my attention and then jumps on me.
«Of course, here are you too, puppy, come here»
After petted Riolu, Renamon goes back into the bathroom to finish to dry, and I wait her going on the terrace to look at those who came to the soccer fields to play after us. Seeing people play at the fields in the late evening makes me feel better. After a quarter of an hour Renamon comes to me and puts a hand on my shoulder:
«Honey, are you still awake? What do you say, let's go to bed?»
«… (yaaawn)… yeah, okay. Riolu, put the ball in the goal, we go to bed. It is better to get up early tomorrow»
Riolu meanwhile was playing football with a small net that I had given over 10 years ago, standing for a miracle. I take her by the hand and together we go to bed, after arranging the house for our absence. Renamon and I together, hugged each other in the bed, and Riolu curled up on me.
«Are you ready, Renamon? Our life is about to change»
«Very ready. I cannot wait»
«And you, Riolu? Are you ready?»
Riolu does his verse, convinced.
«Very well. Goodnight everyone»
Yes, we try to rest the best way possible, 'cos tomorrow is the big day. Bye bye Rimini, we'll be back soon. Finally, the dream of an entire lifetime will begin to take its course. Who would have thought it? Many thanks to all the Pokémon, thanks to exist, you made me happy. Tomorrow I will arrive, and I hope to have a good time!
