Okay then, second chapter of Team Aero coming up in just a minute.
First, reviews! (Well… In this case, review. . )
Danny- thanks for reading it, and keep watching for new chapters. With the hair thing, I meant it's short at the back and sides, but his fringe is rather long. Hope that fixes that up.

Anyway, Chapter 2:

Chapter 2: Nervous Heather

Talon checked his PokéNav's built-in clock. Half an hour had passed since he sat down, waiting for Danus to show up. He sighed and slouched over the table he was at, sighing.

"I woke up too early…" he groaned, as Houndoom reciprocated his feelings by yawning and stretching beside him. It was true; he was awake before midday on a Saturday.

Just when he thought of getting up, checking back into his room and sleeping in for an extra hour, one of the room doors opened in the hallway. Talon leaned back in his chair to see Danus, clothes askew, face flushed coming out of the room. He grinned into the dim light of the room and Talon spotted a wink before the door shut. Danus tried to neaten himself up and comb his hair with his fingers before coming into the full light of the reception. He spotted Talon and smiled sheepishly.

"Er… Sorry I'm late bro, I er…" He tried to explain, but Talon interrupted him.

"Didn't get much sleep? Restless night?" he asked Danus, raising an eyebrow. About five seconds of awkward silence followed, before the both of them noticed shaky lips on the other, before they evolved into full blown laughs as Danus sat down opposite Talon.

"You always were a ladies' man, Dan…" Talon sighed, shaking his head and smirking.

"They love me, I swear! I know someone who won't though." Said Danus, wincing as he reached for his belt, tossing his first Pokéball out into the space beside him. Out came a very annoyed Sneasel, claws already beared. Talon backed off as Sneasel pounced onto Danus, giving him a heavy beating for keeping him cooped up in his Ball all night. Once Sneasel had calmed down and hopped off of his master, Danus slowly got up, rubbing his face carefully. He looked over at Talon, who was trying not to laugh again, and gave him a glare.

Danus was a little older than Talon, nineteen years old. He was a blatant womaniser, and quite a successful one at that. He stood a steady five feet five inches. He had bright baby blue eyes, well-framed by a stylish pair of black framed glasses, and delicate features. His purple hair was all collected into a side ponytail out of his face. He wore a red shirt, a blue sleeveless hooded jacket and black jeans.

He had three Pokémon; his Sneasel, who was his pride and joy, an Absol, and a rather large Pupitar. As a Trainer, he was quite accomplished, and he adored Dark types. He too was taking the League Challenge and already had obtained five of the eight badges. He and Talon had been close friends since as long as they could remember, growing up right next door to each other, playing, sharing troubles and the like, until their bonds of friendship were at their strongest. It was then that Danus set out on his League adventure, but had promised to return for the start of Talon's own outset. When the time came, Talon had gotten a little too anxious (and rather impatient) and so he had left without Danus, who returned later than expected to discover that they had been separated.

However, already within the one night of being together again, their friendship had picked up as strong as ever. Talon and Danus shared a friendly rivalry, but Houndoom and Sneasel had it much more intense between them.

About an hour passed, and now everyone was fed, watered and ready to leave. It was then that Talon remembered about Professor Birch. He quickly went over to the PC and called through to the Professor.

"Hello? Oh Talon, it's you. Finally! So, tell me what you found yesterday!" the Professor asked.

"Well, I think it's best if I just send it through on a transfer. I'll send it through now." Talon rummaged through his backpack, and pulled out a single Pokéball, before placing it on the PC's transfer pod, usually used to store Pokémon. He punched in a few commands on the computer and the Pokéball disappeared on his side. Moments later, the Professor could be seen reaching off screen and coming back with the Pokéball, a puzzled expression on his face.

"A Pokémon? But… Why is this different than all the others I've been researching?" Birch asked, disappointment leaking through his voice.

"Just let it out, and you'll see!" Talon replied. The Professor tossed the Pokéball off screen and his eyes grew wide at the sight.
"Talon, this… This… I don't know about this Pokémon! This is a brand new discovery! I must go now; I need to research it, bye!"
"By-"
-beep- Birch had already cut off the feed, excited like a kid at Christmas.

Talon shrugged and walked back to his table, adjusting his backpack. Danus looked up and took this as a sign that they were ready to go. He got up too and they both made their way to the automatic doors of the Pokémon Center. As they went through the doors, a girl bumped into Talon, and the two of them got knocked off their feet. The girl was clutching a Teddiursa in her arms, and from the looks of it, it was unconscious. She had long, shining aqua-blue hair, and eyes to match. She was quite attractive to the two guys, and no doubt would draw attention from passers-by as she walked. She was wearing a white shirt, and a blue denim jacket over that. She was wearing ice-blasted blue jeans and white sneakers.

When Talon helped her up, she stood around 5'8", and was already pink in the face and apologizing.

"Oh no! I'm sorry, are you okay? I'm sorry, I should've looked where I was going.." she said.

"No, I'm fine baby, how are you?" said Danus, butting in as Talon tried to reply, moving in-between the two of them. She looked simply terrified and tried to back away against the wall. She looked fit to scream, but then Talon pulled Danus away from her.

"Sorry about my friend… Are you okay? Come on, let's sit you down and get that Teddiursa looked at, okay?" said Talon, guiding her to the reception desk. She handed the nurse Teddiursa and sat down. Danus went to sit beside her on her side of the table, but Talon pointed firmly at the seat beside him opposite her. Reluctantly, he sat down by Talon.

"I'm sorry about all this, I really am..." she started, but Talon interrupted, saying, "It's fine… No one's hurt. No problem."

"Thanks… I'm Heather. I was in such a hurry because Teddiursa just lost to Morty again. I'm hopeless as a Trainer…" she said.

"I'm sure you don't. The only problem you have is that Normal types, like Teddiursa, can't hit Ghost-types no matter what. Don't beat yourself up about it, okay? Teddiursa will be fine, it looked strong." Talon explained.

Heather smiled, and went a little pink across the cheeks again, playing with the end of her hair with her fingers nervously. "Thanks for helping me… So what do you think I should do to beat Morty? Catch another Pokémon?" she asked.

"Yeah, that's your best bet." Said Talon, looking at her. She seemed too delicate for her own good…

"Oh… Well, I, umm… I don't know how… I was given Teddy." She said, looking awkwardly at the table in front of her, blushing a little more at how bad this made her look.

Talon smiled. "That's no problem at all. Want us to show you a few things?" he asked. This shocked Heather, as she had thought that they would've laughed at her for not knowing how to catch a Pokémon as a Trainer in her late teens. She had started when she was ten, like everyone else, but only had one Pokémon, and that was given to her too. She quickly nodded and smiled.

"I'd love it if you helped me! I'd be so grateful… If it's not too much of a hassle that is…" she looked at the two Trainers. Talon nodded and Danus winked, and was then slapped upside the head.

"We'd love it if you tagged along with us." Said Talon, smiling.

Just then, the nurse called for Heather, and then handed Teddiursa back. When he noticed Heather, he visibly looked cheerier and she scooped him back up into his arms. Danus whispered "That's cute." into Talon's ear, which earned him an elbow in the gut.

"Right then, are we all ready to go?" said Talon. Heather nodded, as did Danus, and Houndoom and Sneasel sounded their approval of finally leaving, the latter on Danus' shoulder. Now a trio, they made their way out of the Pokémon Center, into Ecruteak City.

Chapter 2 is over, and the guys have a new travelling companion, which they quite literally bumped into. So far, Danus' charm hasn't worked on her one bit, and the concept is mind-boggling for him. Chapter 3 is coming soon, but for now, enjoy this one! Reviews are always welcomed.
