"Free accesory cases is you have the town's badge!" Someone yelled from the street. I ran towards him and flashed my badge. "Congratulations. Here's your cases. How many?" I looked at Jacob. "I guess might as well not look a gift horse in the mouth." He answered. "Three then." I said to the man. "Oh great your took my last three. I'm off duty now." He thanked us like it was a favor, then ran off. "Schweet." I said. "Well, let's go to the store and stock up. I got some cash from beating Falkner. Better idea. I'll give you guys money and you buy what you need." I handed them each five hundred dollars. "Holy shee-ot! How much did you get from him!?!" She was astounded. "$1650 why?" I asked. "Because that's a lot." She replied. "Well, why do you think there are only 8 gyms in each continent? It pays to be a good trainer." I chortled. We all set off in opposite directions.
I came across a kinda small looking department store. The air conditioner was on so it was nice and cool. The shelves were crammed full of back to school stuff. I love being homeschooled. I picked up some extra blankets and a tent. I know better than to trust Momo with just the "necessities". I nearly toppled over an old lady with my cart. Threw in some ramen. The cool like 800 pack for $5. And got some drinks and canteens and so on. Then something caught my eye. It was a new model of pokeball. "Let your pokemon rest in luxury" the sign said. I wanted one for Mumble and feebas but $400 dollars was out of the question. I checked out and headed for the next mini mall. Just then I saw what was happening in the street and ran for Momo's side.
MOMO'S POV
Josh handed me my cash and I was gone. I ran to the closest store and burst in. It was a grocery store. "Well might as well get some food. Josh probably won't expect me to be responsible." I walked all over the store picking out random food items and putting them in the cart. When I felt I had a good load I checked out. While I was waiting in line, I happened to glance out the sliding door and see a man kicking something. I looked harder. It was a pokemon he was kicking. I dropped my stuff and ran out the door. "--ou worthless piece of shit! Can't even beat a hoothoot!" the evil man said. "Stop it now!" I yelled. "Leave the poor thing alone!" "Shut the f up bitch!" He screamed back. "grr that's it. Eevee quick attack!" Eevee sprung forward leaping at the man. She knocked him down. "Bite eevee!" CHOMP! "Oww. Oh hell! Take the damn thing! I don't want it anymore!" Eevee bit harder. "PLEASE LADY CALL IT OFF!" The man yelped in pain. "Eevee come." Eevee ran back to me. "Now", I bent down in the man's face, "if I see you hurt another pokemon ever, no, even HEAR you TOUCHED a pokemon ever, my big borther and i will be on you like ugly on an ape. Do I make myself clear?" I warned. "Yes." The man managed. "Good boy." I walked away to see Josh running towards me.
BACK TO ME
"You imbecile! He could have hurt you!" I was mad. "I could stand and watch him beat that poor--" She turned and ran towards a beaten smoochum lying on the ground. "It's ok. Save your strength. Don't cry. I'm going to take good care of you." Momo looked just like mom at that moment. "Josh, center now!" She was stern. I nodded.
Jacobs mom wasn't too enthused to see us, until she saw the smoochum. "Oh my, give it here." Momo handed over the smoochum. "Poor dear, it just has a broken rib or two. It'll be fine after some bandages and some food." Momo exhaled, relieved. I went to comfort her. "Your a good person Momo."
We left the center to go find Jacob. Didn't take long. He was sittiing on a bench waiting for us at our designated spot of return. "Where were you guys?" He asked. Momo and I proceeded to tell the story.
"Wow. Good on ya Momo." Jacob said. We walked back to the center to get smoochum. She was all patched up and sitting on the counter. She jumped off the counter and snuggled on Momo. "Awww." I said. "She's your now and i don't think anything in the world could change that!"
We spent the rest of the day preparing to leave and then spent the night at the center again. Come morning we left for Azalea Town, home of my next badge and Azalea Forest Contest Hall.
