Evafan24: To anyone who's been waiting for an update for my Paul series, here's the next update. Hope you all enjoy it! ^^
Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon or it's characters. I do own my character Mio.
"No."
"W-Weavile…"
"I'm not gonna repeat myself Weavile, you're not coming with me."
Weavile stared up at Paul with pleading eyes as he watched him continue to pack his bag that was set on his bed. Paul had decided to travel out to Pokémon Island and see if there were any Pokémon worth catching. Paul wasn't able to pinpoint the exact location of the island even with all the research or lack thereof he had found about the island, but to Paul that only made the trip there all the more interesting. Paul liked the challenge.
"What part of no do you not understand Weavile?" Paul spat.
Weavile flinched at his trainer's harsh words, his gaze now staring at the floor dejectedly. He knew Paul was still upset over their last training session when he was unable to perform Metal Claw like he had asked. Weavile hoped to make it up to Paul by going with him on his journey and show him that he can be a good asset to his team and not a liability.
Paul stared down at Weavile when he felt him tug on his pants a bit to get his attention. Paul scowled and pulled his leg out of his grip. "You'd only hold me back Weavile. If you can't even keep up with the training, what makes you think can handle this trip?"
Weavile's gaze turned back to the ground, clenching both his little hands at his side as he heard Paul zip up his bag and sling it over his shoulder. "My answer stands."
And with those final words, Paul slammed the door to his room shut, leaving Weavile alone in his room.
"Going out Paul?"
"Yeah,"
"I see…"
Paul absentmindedly pushed the food around on his plate with his fork before Reggie spoke up again.
"You can go ahead and pick up your other pokémon when you're ready to head back out again Paul."
Paul stared up at his brother for a moment before he nodded his head silently and continued to eat his breakfast until he was finished. He stood up from his chair and grabbed his empty plate to put it in the sink. "Thanks for breakfast." Paul murmured, albeit loud enough for Reggie to hear him.
Reggie chuckled and smiled at his brother. "No problem, I had a feeling you'd be anxious to leave again sooner or later. So I figured having a nice breakfast would be a good start for you."
"Yeah…"
"I mean, who knows when you'll be able to have another home cooked meal like that?" Reggie smirked playfully with a small laugh.
Paul merely rolled his eyes before he returned the smirk and shaking his head in reply. He walked towards the door the lead to the back yard where Paul's reserved pokémon stayed, along with a few other pokémon that Reggie watched for other trainers.
Reggie stared at Paul's back as he opened up the back door. "Paul?" Reggie spoke up.
Paul turned his head and looked at Reggie with an aloof expression, his back facing him. "…"
"Be careful out there alright?"
Paul stayed quiet, but he nodded his head in acknowledgement before heading out to the back yard to collect his other pokémon.
Weavile stared out the window from Paul's room as he watched Paul gather up his other pokémon for his journey out to the island. He couldn't help but feel a little envious of them. Weavile wanted to show Paul that he wouldn't be a burden if he allowed him to accompany him on his trip, but he knew after that last training session they had, Paul obviously felt different about the matter.
"You'd only hold me back Weavile. If you can't even keep up with the training, what makes you think can handle this trip?"
Weavile clenched his clawed hands as Paul's words echoed in his mind. He couldn't just accept this, that's what Paul would expect. If it meant proving his worth to Paul, then he would just have to disobey his orders for once.
"Weavile…" he stared down at his claws and nodded to himself before his gaze turned back to the window. His eyes followed Paul's back as he watched him head down the road.
"Electabuzz, use Thunder!" Paul commanded.
Obeying his master's commands, Electabuzz gathers electricity from the horns on his head before firing large bolts of electricity from his body and towards his opponent.
"Fearow!" his opponent cried out.
The Thunder attack narrowly misses the wild Fearow as it quickly dives forward to dodge the incoming electric attack. There was always a downside to his Thunder attack. The attack itself may have been powerful, but the accuracy was sometimes just a little bit off its mark. Paul gritted his teeth in annoyance before pointing his finger directly at the Fearow. "Again, use Thunder!"
Electabuzz charged his body up with electricity once more before shooting his attack directly towards the wild Fearow. Fearow cried out in pain, stopping in mid flight as the electricity hit him dead on. Paul smirked in satisfaction as he grabbed an empty pokeball off his belt and proceeded to toss it towards the falling Fearow. Fearow was soon engulfed in a flash of red light before disappearing into the pokeball, falling to the ground. The pokeball shook a couple of times, showing that Fearow was trying to escape, but his lack of energy had outweighed his determination.
Ding.
Paul walked towards the pokeball, picking it up before he took out his pokedex. He allowed his pokedex to scan the pokeball, analyzing the statistics of his newest capture. "Fearow's speed is good, but its only known moves are Drill Peck and Fury Attack. Tch, that figures…" he grumbled under his breath.
Paul closed up the pokedex before putting the pokeball on his belt. 'Whatever, as long as this Fearow gets me to the island, that's all that matters. I can't afford to waste any more time here.'
Electabuzz stared at Paul as curiously, but decided against saying anything. He knew his master was deep in thought. Paul turned to his Electabuzz, giving him a small nod as if to acknowledge his presence, perhaps even thank him for his work. Electabuzz quickly threw that last thought out of his mind. He knew Paul wasn't one to really praise his pokémon.
"Let's go." Paul stated calmly, although his voice held little to no emotion. Electabuzz however was used to this and simply nodded his head before following behind Paul as they headed down the road together.
"Vile…"
Paul suddenly freezes in his tracks, not bothering to turn around towards the voice that was just several feet behind him. His Electabuzz however had turned his attention towards the presence that had recently appeared behind them.
Paul clenches both his fists at his side angrily. Why had he come after he specifically told him he was NOT going with him? "Going against my orders huh?"
Weavile stayed silent, his eyes staring at his trainer's back. He was a little nervous, not knowing how Paul would react to him being persistent and following him, but he knew it was better than just sitting at home waiting for his return. He was willing to accept the fact that he might get scolded again, but he couldn't just sit at home and wait for Paul to return.
Paul suddenly turns around, staring down at Weavile with his usual calm yet annoyed expression. "Didn't expect you to be so damn stubborn."
Even though Paul didn't like the fact that he had ignored his wishes, he had to give him props. He could tell by the look in Weavile's eyes that he wanted to make up for the training. 'I must be going soft...'
Both Electabuzz and Weavile stared wide eyed in surprise as they watched Paul suddenly pull of Weavile's empty pokeball off his belt. Paul held the pokeball out in front of Weavile who smiled at him gratefully before he was returned to the pokeball.
"Don't let me down Weavile…"
