Rwar! Hai guys :3 Really happy about all the views :D

Not much to say since I wrote this a while ago, after I posted chapter 5.

Official update days are Thursdays, no more random updates, enjoy.

Lindy's POV

"Mmmh..." I groaned, as the early morning sun had made its way through the curtains. What a pleasant dreamless sleep. I rolled over to look at the clock.

6:49

I was never a morning person. I'd love to stay in bed all day if I could honestly. I let out a sleepy sigh before I threw the blanket off of me. "Alright! The sooner I get ready, the sooner I can go the Pokémon Center!" I said as I jumped out of bed and headed to the bathroom for a shower.

After my shower, I got dressed, brushed my teeth and hair. Even though I had only had my Pokémon for one day, it didn't feel right to eat breakfast without them. I really wanted to make sure they were okay. So, I put my hotel key in my backpack and headed out, being careful not to slam the door since it was still early.

I listened to the bland elevator music, I didn't hear it last time because of Susie's yapping. Good mother of Mew was that girl annoying. I think I like Gary's cheerleaders more. Susie was just... borderline obsessed. I couldn't wrap my head around how anyone could be so attracted to him, with the way he acted in public.

Ding, the elevator went as I reached the lobby. I honestly have problems accepting that I like him. Well... I guess I wouldn't say I like him. I miss what he used to be. I miss my Gary. I let out a sad sigh and headed to the Pokémon center.

Ding, went the doors of the Pokémon Center as I walked in. I saw some trainers sleeping on the couches. I walked up to the main desk where Nurse Joy was furiously typing away on the computer.

"Um, excuse me, Nurse Joy," I said quietly, careful not to wake anyone up.

"Oh!" the pinket gasped as she jumped a little. "You scared me, haha! I was so busy with my report. Oh, what time is it? Only 7:22?"

"Haha... I couldn't sleep. I wanted to check on my Pokémon as soon as I could," I explained.

Nurse Joy gave me a kindhearted smile. "Your Pokémon are fine. Let me go get them for you."

"Thank you Nurse Joy!" I couldn't wait to see my Pokémon. I hadn't gotten a chance to talk with my Pidgey yet, so introductions were in order. And I'd only sent my Rattata out to get battle experience. I figured we could all sit down and have breakfast together.

"Here you are," Nurse Joy said as she handed me my three pokéballs. "Take care."

"Thank you, I will," I assured as put them in my bag. I made my way out of the Pokémon Center, as I stepped outside, the fresh morning air greeting me.

"The weather look's great! Now where should we go eat?" I pondered as I wondered around looking for a decent spot to let my Pokémon out and eat.

"Oh over there," I said to myself as I spotted a nice grassy spot under a tree. I headed over and took my pokéballs out of my bag.

"Alright, come on out guys!" I said as I threw my pokéballs into the air, flashes of red light sent my Pokémon out.

"Bulba!" "Rattata!" "Pidgey!" they greeted.

"Heh, morning guys," I greeted them back. "Are you guys ready for some breakfast?"

They all eagerly nodded in agreement. "Alright guys, hang on a sec." I dug through my bag. Now I only had a few cans of Pokémon food, since I didn't think I'd get 3 on my first day. But I could get more from the PokéMart later.

"Now, I'm not sure if you guy's will like this stuff," I said doubtfully. My Pokémon looked at me confused.

"I just got normal flavours," I explained as I opened it for them. "If you don't like it, we can experiment with different flavours when I go buy more, ok?"

They all nodded and began to sample the food. Bulbasaur and Pidey didn't really care for it, but they ate it regardless. But Rattata on the other hand really seemed to hate it.

"Raaatta ta!" it gagged.

"Aweh, you don't like it do you Rattata?" I asked as I rubbed his little back.

"Ra ta ta," it said, shaking it's little purple head.

"I'm sorry to hear that," I said disappointedly. "I think the PokéMart opens at seven or eight. For now thooough..."

"Rattata?" it asked as it watched me dig through my bag.

"Here it is!" I said happily as I found the bag of cookies. I opened it and handed one to Rattata. "Here try one of these."

Rattata gave the cookie a sniff, then took a nibble."Taaaa," he said, giving an approving nod.

"Glad you like it. Or, at least eat it," I said. "I guess you're a bit of a picky eater."

Rattata nodded, and continued to eat the cookie. I let out a sigh and had a few myself.

The Pokémon let out a content sigh, showing they were full. I smiled and patted them all. "Oh yeah! The introductions!" I remembered.

"Saur?" Bulbasaur asked me.

I giggled. "We have to get to know our two friends still, Bulbasaur! We've spent some time with Rattata, but after we caught Pidgey we headed to the Pokémon Center remember?" I explained.

Bulbasaur let out a nod of understanding.

"Mmh. Okay how should I do this..." I pondered. "Alrighty!"

"Okay. So, my name is Lindy, and um, I'm going to be your Pokémon Trainer," I explained to Pidgey.

"Pid...gey?" she seemed pretty confused.

"Huh maybe I did it wrong..." I said aloud. "Okay one more time! My name's Lindy! It's nice to meet you Pidgey."

"Pidgeey!" she chirped as she flapped her little wings.

"These are my other Pokémon and friends, Bulbasaur and Rattata," I said, introducing my other two.

"Bulbasaur!" my started greeted, sending one of its vines out to shake Pidgey's wing.

"Rattata!" said the Mouse Pokémon as it ran over to nudge Pidgey in a friendly manner.

"Pid pid!" she chirped.

"I'm glad you guys are getting along! I was worried you guys wouldn't get along," I laughed with relief.

"Bulbasaur!" my starter tackled me and hugged me with his stubby little arms. "Saur saur! Bulbasaur!"

"Heh, you're right. I guess I do worry too much," I agreed with my Pokémon and rubbed his head.

"Rattata!" "Pidgey!" my other too Pokémon dog piled me.

"Ahahaha! Guys get off!" I giggled as they nuzzled me. "That tickles!"

Gary's POV

I ran through the forest desperately. I have to find her, I just have to! I jumped over roots and fallen logs. I frantically looked left and right, behind trees and in bushes. Looking for any sign at all of where she could be?

I heard the sound of muffled sobbing.

That must be her! I thought as I ran towards the sound.

I ran and ran, but no matter how fast I got, it seemed as if I was getting father away. "No! I have to find her!" I cried. Then the ground began to shake. "W-whoa!" as gasped, as the earth beneath my feet began to rumble and crack.

"Crap, I've got to hurry." Just then it gave away and I began to plummet. "Nooooo!"

My eyes snapped open.

"Mmmm-mm-mn-mmmh."

Ugh. Susie is humming again. Why didn't I get rid of her yet? I asked myself.

I sat up to see Susie adjusting her pencil skirt and slip her arms into the sleeves of her blouse. I guess she heard me sit up because she turned my way.

"Ooh, good morning Gary," she said, her blouse still open.

Oh yeah. That's why.

"Mornin' Susie," I said, still looking at her chest. "What time is it?"

"Mh? Oh iiits five past eight."

"Mmh. Okay. I'ma go grab a shower," I said as I got out of bed. I think I heard her ask if I wanted some help, but it was too early to deal with that woman. I locked the bathroom door behind me.

I turned the taps on, making sure the water would be nice and hot. My body was a bit sore from training for so long. I slipped out of my PJs and into the shower, letting the water run over my body, relaxing my tired muscles.

My thoughts trailed back to the nightmare I had. Why would I have dreamt about that...?

I knocked on the door to Lindy's room for the sixth time.

"Grrr...LINDY OPEN UP RIGHT NOW!" I roared extremely frustrated.

"Damn, okay okay." I turned to see Lindy walk out from the elevator and open the door with her key. "Happy?"

I fell over. "Ugh. Where were you?" I asked, standing up and brushing myself off.

"Like you care," she said bitterly as she crossed her arms. "But if you must know, I was getting my Pokémon from the Pokémon Center and then I fed them some breakfast."

"Oh," I was planning on eating breakfast all together. "Did you eat yet?"

"No not really. I came back to see if you were awake yet so we could get some breakfast and stock up on supplies for Viridian Forest."

"Mh. Well alright," I pushed the down button for the elevator.

"I'll be sending Susie on ahead to Pewter City," I explained as we stepped in the elevator. "The shortest way to Pewter is through the Viridian Forest, but there arn't any paved roads so she'll be taking a detour."

"M'kay," Lindy said as we stepped out of the elevator. "So we're checking out now?"

"Yeah, so give me your key," I said, extending my hand.

"Alright," she said as she handed it to me. "So we're leaving now?

"No, not yet – Here you go, we'll be checking out now," I said to Lindy then the receptionist. " We're going to grab some breakfast here first. Susie is waiting in the dinning hall."

I caught her face twist at bit when I mentioned Susie's name.

"Okay," she muttered reluctantly.

"Over here Gary!" Susie called to me as we entered, causing Lindy to cringe. "I got us a nice table by the window."

"Prefect," I said as I followed her to the table and took a seat. Susie instantly took the seat next to me. Lindy just rolled her eyes and sat across from me. We all picked up our menus and looked over the selection.

"I see your friends have arrived, would you like to order now ma'am?" A waiter asked Susie.

"Yes, I'll have a small mango smoothie and French toast." Susie said, trying to sound somewhat refined.

"And for the gentlemen?" he asked, causing Susie to snicker.

Ooooohh snap. I thought as I heard Lindy crinkle up the laminated menu in her hands.

"I'm a girl," Lindy snarled, flames surrounding her like a Rapidash's mane.

"O-oh! My deepest apologies!" the waiter stammered in fear for his life.

"Ahem," I coughed clearing my throat. "I'll have earl gray tea and a stack of blueberry pancakes."

The waiter scribbled down my order. "A-and you miss?" he asked Lindy.

"I'll have a large banana strawberry smoothie, five blueberry muffins and the fruit salad for an appetizer, the bacon and eggs plate, double the bacon, 4 pieces of toast, and a large plate of diced hash browns," Lindy stated.

"U-um... Are you sure you can eat all of that miss?" the waiter asked.

She snapped her head towards him. "Of course I'm sure! Now make it snappy!" she demanded.

"Eek! Yes ma'am!" he yelped and ran away.

"Hmph!" Lindy sneered.

"Oh Gary, darling. Are you sure you want to go through the Viridian Forest with this... gluttonous beast?" Susie asked, looking disgusted by Lindy's unladylike actions.

"What was that?" Lindy asked, giving her a death glare.

"Ack!" Susie screeched as she clung to my arm. "Oh Gary! Keep it away!"

"It?" Lindy growled, slamming her hand down on the table, attracting unwanted attention.

I let out a frustrated sigh. "Susie. Shut up. You're annoying me," I instructed cooling, shaking her off my arm.

"B-but Gary!" she protested.

"Enough," I commanded. "Let's just eat. I can see the waiter coming with what looks like our orders."

As I had assumed, our waiter had come back. I suppose Lindy's treat helped speed up the preparation of our orders. That or we had gotten someone else's order so Lindy wouldn't kill anyone. He set our drinks down first, then our orders, and Lindy's... smorgasbord.

"Oh it looks great!" Susie cheered as she picked up her utensils and gingerly cut her French toast. As I poured and prepared my tea I could hear Susie's sounds of delight.

"Aaah. That hit the spot," Lindy said as she leant back and rubbed her stomach.

"You didn't even eat your muffins, fruit salad or hash browns though," I said. "Why'd you even order them?"

"To have something tasty to snack on while we're traveling through the forest of course," Lindy explained. "We can get them to package this stuff for us.

"Do you really expect Gary to eat leftovers?" Susie demanded.

"Mh. Not a bad idea," I said as I called to our waiter over. "Alright, check please. And wrap these up for us if you please."

"Of course sir," the waiter said as he took our, and by our I mean Lindy's, leftovers and to get our check.

"Susie, could you go get the car?" I requested.

"Of course!" she said happily as she got up. "I'll be waiting out front."

"Alright," Lindy started, "I made a mental list of what we'll need . We'll diffidently need to stock up on antidote and potions. I know I need more Pokémon food, I don't know about you."

"Mhm," I nodded in agreement. "A paralyze heal or two couldn't hurt either."

"Yeah, we'd need some sooner or later anyway."

"Here you are," the waiter said as he placed the packaged leftovers down with the check on top.

"Thank you," I said as I stood up and took the bag with the leftovers.

"You're welcome. I hope the food was too your liking," he said then left.

Lindy picked up her bag and followed me to the desk where I paid for our food with the credit card my parents had given me for the journey. After a swipe of the card and punching in a few buttons, we left.

As soon as Lindy and I stepped out of the hotel, Susie honked the horn. I gave her a wave, showing her I saw her. I hopped up front, next to Susie, while Lindy sat in back.

"Alright we have a few errands to do before we head off," I said as she pulled away from the hotel.

"Okay! Where to?" she asked.

"The PokéMart," I said.

"Yes, sir!" Susie said, as made a sharp left and headed to the PokéMart.

Sounds like a yummy breakfast! But I just had pizza for supper hehe. And I'll probably have pizza for breakfast... Yay for left overs :D

Do you hate Susie yet? :3 I hope so ~
