Echo and Dante walked into the Pokémon Center, ohhing and ahing at all the Trainers and Pokémon surrounding them. When they finally reached the front desk, they handed their ID's over to Nurse Joy and sighed up for the Tournament. She and Dante left the front desk, walking over to the dining area of the Pokémon Center when they noticed a fight breaking out outside. Looking at each other breifly, before running out to see what was happening. What they saw was...confusing to say the least. A boy, around their age and an inch or so shorter then Echo was yelling at a group of much older kids, a Ladyba buzzing angrily over his shoulder. The boy wore a purple hoodie jumper over top a checkered shirt and beige short-pants. A pair of jogging sneakers adorned his feet. He had spiky blonde hair that complimented his pale skin. The most unique thing though was his eyes. One was a bright green, the other a deep red.
He looked extremely angry, reaching for something the taller boy was holding above his head, "GIVE IT BACK!"
With a smirk the bully held it higher, "an why should I shorty? What, you gonna make me?"
"He wont, but I will." Echos cold voice came from behind him. Dante gapped, looking to his side then back to his friend. Since when did she move..?
The bully and his goons turned to her in surprise, before smirking.
"Aw how cute, this little girl thinks she can help the shorty. Move along, girly, before I have to hurt you. " Echo just smirked.
"How cute if you to think I'm scared of you. Give the kid back his thing and I won't have to get nasty." The guy snarled, throwing a punch at Echo. She smirked, simply dodging to the side. The others charged at her. She sighed, butting her hands in her pockets and dancing around their kicks and punches with ease. Soon, they backed off, panting. The leader growled.
"Fearow, I choose you! Use gust on that girl!" With a cry, the Fearow released a strong gust right for Echo. She just looked at it blankly. Dante screamed, reaching for her from where he stood.
Echo smirked and raised her hand.
From behind her a huge plume of fire blocked the Gust.
Gasps a rupee from everyone except Echo and Dante, who was being held back by a couple people. He grinned, letting out a loud whoop, "THATS MY ECHO!"
She grinned, Litleo coming to stand next to her, the little fire on his head huge and kicking at the air surrounding him. The bully just gaped at her, the let out a growl.
"Fearow, Use-!"
"Ladyba, use string shot!"
Before the Fearow could use another attack, a thick casing a string surrounded it. The man gasped "WHAT!?"
the boy came to stand at Echos side, his Ladyba standing next to her Litleo. His eyes were narrowed. Echo looked at him out of the corner of her eyes and smirked. The guy growled and tossed a purple shiny thing to the boy, which he caught.
"Let's go boys these chumps are annoying me." With tnat, the bullies left. Echo sighed and turned to the boy, her serious attitude melting back to her normal friendly one.
"Hey, I'm Echo. Are you okay, those guys didn't hurt you did they?" The boy shook his head, putting the thing around his neck. It was a purple eight point star.
"No, they didnt. Thank you for helping me, they were kind pissing me off." Echo laughed, but before she could reply, something tackled her from behind. She let out a little squeak as strong as strong tan arms rapped around her.
"You idiot! Don't you ever do that again you reckless moron!" Dante yelled into her shoulder, a shaky sigh of relief escaping him. She laughed.
"Dante, chill! I'm fine! Besides, I had to help this kid!" Dante just sighed and looked at the kid over Echos shoulder.
He raised an eyebrow, "Whats your name kid?"
The kid blinked, "Kaya. And this is Ladyba. Are you guys dating?" He bluntly asked, Dante ND Echo blushed and jumped away from each other.
"EW FUCK NO!" Kaya chuckled at their weirdness. They were still yelling insults at the other, faces still bright red. Kaya just rolled his eyes.
Unknown to the three. Someone was watching them, eyes narrowed. Without a single sound, the figure disapeared.
