Chapter 4: Friend or Rival?
Last Time:
"I lost?"
The smoke cleared and there was Swoop and Tide lay fainted on the ground. Flame and Mystic ran back to Yuri.
"Thanks guys, you were great!" Yuri said, hugging her pokemon. They whinnied and cried, extremely happy about their first victory as a team. "Come on you deserve a rest!" She said, recalling Mystic. Flame however shook her head, refusing to go back into the pokeball. Yuri looked at her ponyta and smiled. "Okay then Flame."
Leo shook his head and recalled his two pokemon. He sighed then walked over to Yuri, head bowed in defeat. Yuri turned to him with triumph clearly written on her face. Leo looked up at Yuri, then looked down and said in an, almost too serious, tone. "What do you want me to do, oh master?" Yuri laughed and Leo looked up at her again, then down at his feet again, his cheeks red. Yuri stared at him confused, 'Did Leo just blush?' She thought in amazement. She shook her head and pondered this weird situation. Flame neighed and butted her head up against Yuri's side. Yuri smiled.
"You're right!" She said to her ponyta then put her hand under Leo's chin and forced him to look at her. "I herby declare that you, Leo, will no longer be my slave!" She said with royalty in her tone, then looked at the boy and laughed. Leo stared at her for a second then burst into chuckles. They both stood there laughing for a minute or two. Finally Yuri stopped, wiping her eyes, closely followed by Leo. They looked at each other in silence, until Leo said.
"That was pretty stupid wasn't it?" He shook his head.
Yuri smiled and replied. "Yeah, it was." They stood in awkward silence as if unsure of what to do. Then Yuri got another, oh so brilliant idea. She put out her hand. Leo stared at it. Yuri sighed.
"How about it?" She asked. "You want to be friends?"
Leo looked from her hand to her face. He smiled and shook her hand, Yuri grinned. "So, you want to travel together then?" He asked her.
"Well that was kind of the point wasn't it?" She said, positively beaming. Leo stared at her and shook his head, shrugging.
"You're really hard to figure out, you know that?" He said, sarcastically, but then grinned.
They both stood there then turned together, heading toward the city. Yuri looked at him and smiled. Her adventure was unfolding, but through all the easy and tough times she now had someone to lean on. She had a new friend.
