Chapter 2:
Rina Fire! Part 1
"Columbia!" "Cynda!" "Gamboge?" "Cynda!" "How about Ictorine?" "Cynda!" An argument of name's followed the visit to Professor Elm and was the entire conversation on their way to route 29. A trainer named Andain and her "partner" Pokemon Cyndaquil had begun their journey into the world of Pokemon, like many before them. "Icetrine?" "Cynda!" "Languid?" "Cynda!" "You're making this hard, you know that?" "Cyn, Cyndaquil." "Was that a yes of some form?" "Cynda…" "That had better not have been a mayb-" suddenly her sentence was ended by a tree that she had walked into. She fell to the ground next to her Cyndaquil, who promptly jumped onto her chest and stared at her.
"Cyndaquil?" "Yeah, I'm fine…", she replied. "Cynda…" "Really? Then what did you ask?" "Cyndaquil, cynda cyndaquil cyndaquil." "… Give me a second. I'm going to say that was you telling me I'm a dumbass. Yes? No? Maybe?" Andain said. "Cynda!", the Cyndaquil replied with cheerfully. "I hate how happy you sounded while saying that." "Cyndaquil." "I know it's a bad habit to interject what I'd normally expect to hear from someone else over you but you know how I am, now get offa' me!" "Cynda!" he jumped off of her excitedly and she got up then snapped her fingers. "I'VE GOT IT!" "Cynda?" "Your name should be Jade!" "Cyndaquil…" "What? It sounds good! Now let us be on our way Jade!" "Cyndaqu~il." "I am not crazy!"
As Jade and Andain argued, a girl wandering the forest heard them, short dark purple hair and bright green eyes that lit up at the noise. She began to peer through the trees trying to find them, not seeing them immediately she began moving through the forest, darting at as high a speed as possible towards the commotion. Jade suddenly stopped and looked towards the girl causing Andain to immediately become confused. Suddenly the girl emerged at high speed from the trees and looked at Andain. "A TRAINER!" She shouted in excitement.
"I'm guessing she wants a round?" "Cynda." "Yeah. I am prepared for your challe-" suddenly she thrusted her hand out in front of her and went, "My name is Rina, it's nice to meet you!" Andain looked confused but shook her hand. "My name is Andain. I would've expected you to want a battle." "Oh no, I know I wouldn't win, you and your Cyndaquil and all." "What do you mean?" Suddenly she takes out a pokeball and pushes the button on it. "Here, let me show you." The ball splits open and releases a small red beam from it's inside letting loose a Venonat. "Venonat!" "This is my Venonat, and she's a bug type… and that makes her weak to fire types… and flying types… like the first gym!" Andain looked at her for a moment almost blankly and after their moment of silence said, "Well that sucks. Bye!" And turned to walk away with Jade.
"No! please don't leave me!" Rina said suddenly, her venonat in toe with, "Venonat! Venonat!" Andain stopped and turned with, "So you're asking for my help, right?" "Yes?", Rina said a little worried looking. "It's ok, I won't do anything horrible. You need a pokemon that can hold up to a few little birds?" "Uhm… about that, Andai-" "That should be easy!" "Venonat…" "I know, I have one of those feelings too…"
