Chapter 2- Troubles
"Oh man! I can't find my way out of here!" Kelly cried as she started to pull her hair in frustration.
"Cynda Cynda (Don't worry we'll find a way out of here)" Her dear Cyndaquil reassured her.
"Thanks Cyndaquil, I shouldn't panic. We'll get out of here, right?"
The Daydream Forest is a big forest. Bigger than the Viridian Forest, I believe. Kelly and Cyndaquil were very close to the exit, but then a mysterious figure appeared in front of them.
"Huh?! A Wurmple? Cool! I want to catch it!" She said as she rummaged through her knapsack looking for an empty poke ball.
"Okay I got one, now Cyndaquil use Tackle!"
The fire type ran towards the worm like Pokémon with all its might. And guess what? It made a direct hit.
"Yes! Now use Ember!"
The fire type cried its name as the flame on its butt started to get bigger, and it unleashed a powerful Ember attack. The worm Pokémon cried in pain.
"Uh I think you overdid it a bit Cyndaquil" Kelly said as Cyndaquil pouted. "Okay...Go poke ball!" The brunette cried as she threw her poke ball towards the Wurmple who was barley moving. The red and white ball quickly hit the worm Pokémon on its head and started beeping. After a couple of seconds, it stopped beeping. Meaning Kelly has caught her first Pokémon. "Alright! I just caught a Wurmple!" She cried. "Cynda!" the fire type jumped for joy, excited that it had a new friend.
"Now to get out of this forest..." She said as started walking straight ahead with her starter Pokémon right behind her and sooner or later, she was right in front of the exit. "We're almost there!" "Quil!"
"Hold it!" An unfamiliar voice shouted as Kelly and Cyndaquil stopped in their tracks. "Huh?"
"Where do you think you're going?" A boy asked. He looked to be about the same age as Kelly. He had black messy hair, a green t-shirt with a blue jacket over it. He wore blue jeans and had a Garchomp standing beside him.
"To Littlerock town of course!" She said happily while smiling. But soon her smile faded as she saw the angry look on the boys face. "Something wrong?" She asked.
"Yes, no one is allowed to leave this forest unless they beat me in a battle!"
"That's nonsense! I'm a new trainer!"
"So?"
"SO!? SO, YOU'LL LET ME OUT OF HERE OR I'LL HAVE TO KICK YOUR-" She yelled but was cut off by her Cyndaquil.
"Quil!!!!!! (Would you shush? Do you want to get into more trouble!?)" Her Cyndaquil shouted at her.
"So? You think I'm going to let you pass?" The boy asked.
"Yeah" She said as she just walked passed him and entered Littlerock Town. The boy followed.
"H-how! HOW DID YOU GET BY ME!?" Kelly smirked.
"I just walked by, easy peasy"
"Whatever, so are you competing in contests or gym battles?"
"Why are you so interested all of a sudden?" The brunette asked, a little annoyed that the boy was still here.
"No reason..." He said. And with that she walked away, heading towards the Pokémon Center. Leaving the boy standing there. What's her problem!? He thought. Although for a girl with a bit of a temper, she's kind of cute. He thought again. (Damn someone has a crush...LOL)
Later in the Pokémon Center Kelly was in the cafeteria eating some Noodles. She was enjoying her meal, eating up all the noodles and slurping up the broth.
"HEY!" Someone shouted and Kelly spat out the broth and started choking.
"Whoa are you alright?" The person said worriedly.
"Y-Yeah I'm fine..." She looked up. "Oh it's you..."
"Yeah it's me; by the way I'm staying here too. Oh yeah I didn't catch your name"
"So?"
"So, this is the time when you're supposed to introduce yourself..."
"What makes you think I want to do that?"
"What's with all the questions!?"
"WHY WON'T YOU SHUT UP AND LEAVE ME ALONE!!!??"
This war went on for quite a while, sooner or later. They were both kicked out of the cafeteria for disturbing the other guests. And with that, they were forced to use two rooms that were connected to each other but soon Nurse Joy and her assistants regretted that decision. Kelly and that boy were fighting for hours and it was still going on.
"CAN'T YOU SHUT UP? GEEZ YOU'RE SO ANNOYING! I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHO YOU ARE AND YOU'RE ALREADY BOTHERING ME!" The girl screamed from the top of her lungs.
"WELL YOU WOULD HAVE KNOWN WHO I WAS BUT YOU DIDN'T INTRODUCE YOURSELF FIRST!"
"WHAT A LAME COME-BACK! AND YOU CALL YOURSELF A MAN."
"WHEN DID I SAY I WAS A MAN?" Kelly smirked.
"Oh so you're not a man eh?"
"W-Wait! I didn't mean it like that! I- uh..." Before he knew it, Kelly picked him up by his collar. Did he even have a collar? Who knows...?
"Tell me who you are" She said, in a tone that was scarier than ever. And she gave him a death glare as well.
"I'm Michael" He said nervously. She put him down.
"Okay!" She said in a cheerful manner. Michael was taken aback at her actions. "Why are you so cheery all of a sudden?" He asked. Kelly stopped smiling and frowned. "W-what's wrong?" He asked once more, this time he was worried. You see, he wasn't the type to upset a girl. And when he did, he would always try to make everything better.
"Oh nothing...JUST GET THE HELL OUT OF MY ROOM BEFORE I-"
"Okay okay" He said as he opened the door that connected both of their rooms. You know he's not all that bad; he was worried about me after all. But I still don't trust that freak. The brunette thought as she turned off the lights and went to sleep, not bothering to change into her PJ's. She was too tired anyways.
The next morning wasn't any different; Kelly and Michael started to bicker again in the cafeteria. But to everyone's surprise. They stopped fighting quickly and left. Michael and Kelly headed towards the gym.
"I wonder who the gym leader is" Kelly said.
"Well I already know, I've been in this town for a while now. See" Michael said, holding up a badge.
"You got the badge!?"
"Yeah, the Smash Badge" They kept on walking and you could have sworn you heard Kelly mutter things like "lucky bastard" or "he stole it".
Once they got to the gym, Kelly was amazed. It was a circular shape and had a rock type of material. It looked like it was shaped as a Geodude or a Golem.
"Wow this gym is amazing; I wonder who the gym leader is"
"Well I for one know who the gym leader is"
"Who?"
"Paul"
"Paul!? You mean that nasty trainer from Sinnoh???" Michael nodded. "Oh no..." Kelly added.
"Yeah and it's going to be hard to beat Paul with a Cyndaquil, it won't have much effect. Plus your Wurmple is completely useless so yeah. You're screwed"
"Thanks a lot Mr. Know-it-all"
"No problem! If you need any help I'm here"
"Yeah yeah" She said as she started walking back to the Pokémon Center. With Michael not too far behind.
"Hey where are you going?"
"To the lake nearby, I'm going to catch a water type and train it"
"Won't that take a long time...?" He asked.
"So? It's worth it, I want to earn my first badge and become a great trainer"
"Yeah"
The lake was called The Lake of Faith. There are three lakes in the Mira Region. The Lake of Faith, the Lake of Hope and the Lake of Belief. Each one has something special about it. And you can find lots of Pokémon in the lakes no doubt. But it's hard.
They arrived at the lake after their 10 minute walk. It wasn't far away from the Town. Kelly just watched the lake, wondering where she'll find a water type or exactly how she'll be able to catch one without a good Pokémon.
"Ugh this is so hard! Not only do I not know how to get a water type to come out but I don't even have a good Pokémon that isn't at a disadvantage!!!" She cried while running around in circles.
"Calm down! Here take this fishing rod" Michael said as he handed her a fishing rod.
"Thanks..."
"You know if you're too scared to use your Pokémon, you can always borrow one of mine"
"Nah it's too much trouble, I'll just see if Cyndaquil can give it a shot"
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah I am" She smiled.
"Okay then. Good luck...um"
"Kelly"
"Good luck Kelly" He smirked.
"Thanks" She quickly took the rod and she sort of threw it out of her hand. Luckily only the fishing line made it into the lake.
They waited and waited. It's been about 10 minutes and still no bite. Kelly was beginning to get impatient and she was about to go into that lake and grab a water type out of there. Although Michael managed to stop her before she went to...murder a Pokémon.
"Oh my gosh! Why is it taking so long???"
"Be patient"
"I'm trying!"
"Well..." Michael stopped talking when he saw the line started to move. "Hey you got a bite!"
"Yes!" She cried as she started reeling it in. Although it was very hard, she was getting pulled into the lake. Michael ran over to her and started pulling as well. "It's...too strong" He struggled to say.
"I know..." They both gave one last tug and fell to the ground.
"RAWWWR!!!!!!!!" A Pokémon shouted at them.
