Chapter 4: New Faces
Demond's POV
Route 3 was where we all were. We all were just walking down the Route. You know, just like any group. I realised that Akia was walking quite fast ahead.
"Hey! Akia, why are you walking so fast!?" I shouted after her.
"Because we just need to get at least half way through this route by night." Akia explained.
"What's halfway through this Route Akia?" Cheshire asked as we kept on walking.
"You'll see. It's a nice surprise, don't you worry about that." She answered.
"Oh! Really! I LOVE surprises!" Emma exclaimed.
"I know you do. I am your sister after all." Akia said. As I was walking slightly behind the group, I saw Espeon look straight ahead and to the side a little. I wondered why, but I dismissed it afterwards.
"Wait, did you meet Cheshire before Akia?" I suddenly asked. I remembered that I saw them recognise each other yesterday, and I have been meaning to ask that.
"Yea, why?" She answered me.
"Just curious. Where tho-" I was about to say, once again.
"My life story is none of your business." She interrupted me.
"Whatever..." I said. We walked for a little longer when suddenly we heard a cry. A cry of help.
"Umbreon, Espeon, run ahead, see what's wrong." Akia told her Pokemon. They nodded and ran ahead.
"Buneary! Do the same." Emma said, calling her Buneary out. Her Buneary hopped behind the two. After a little bit for waiting the trio came back, with a Spheal on Espeon's back.
"Espeon, is the Spheal okay?" Akia asked.
Espeon shook her head. Akia knelt by Espeon and took the Spheal off her back. She petted the Spheal. He was still crying.
"Shush, it's okay. We'll help you find your way back soon enough." Akia said, calming the Spheal down. The Spheal looked into Akia's eyes with hope and dependence. She smiled at him softly. "Guys, come, we better rush to the middle of this route."
"Righty!" Emma said. I looked at Akia with a confused look.
"I'm not just an Eevee Trainer. I'm also a breeder." She told me. "Espeon, Umbreon return, I don't need anymore trouble right now." She said as she let Espeon and Umbreon return.
"What's a Breeder?" I asked. Akia face palmed.
"I'll tell you later." She explained and sighed. We continued down the route, but at a faster pace and reached nearly halfway to the route when Emma suddenly said.
"Are we thereeee yettt?" Emma questioned Akia.
"Nearly." She answered.
"But I'm tiiiirrreeeddd." Emma whined.
"I don't care, just walk." Akia replied.
"But; But! You should! You're my older sister!"
"I still don't care."
"But Akiiaaa! You're the best-" Akia turned around as Emma was saying that.
"Emma!" Akia snapped. She sighed. "I know you are tired, but remember, you can't get your way with me. I know all your tricks. Plus, flattering will get you nowhere my dear." Emma was speechless. After a few more minutes of walking I saw a house, a little cabin at that. It looked slightly cosy. Akia walked towards it and knocked on the door, the Spheal still in her arms. The door opened and a old couple was there. The woman had short white hair that was at her shoulders, and hazel eyes. She wore a magenta short sleeved top and black trousers with brown sandals. The man had really short white hair and green eyes. He wore a navy blue long sleeved top and white trousers and brown sandals too.
"Akia! Long time no see." The woman said.
"It has, hasn't it Nicolette? How have you guys been?" Akia asked.
"We've been well." The man said.
"And how has been the little one, Kent?" Akia asked again.
"He's very well, come on in. It's going to be night soon, might as well stay here." Nicolette stated.
"That is what I was planning to do." Akia replied. "Oh, you can feed three more mouths right?"
"Oh sure thing, are those people travelling with you?" Kent asked.
"Yup! This is Emma, my little sister. Cheshire, an old friend from Hoenn, and Demond..."
"I don't get a little info then?" I said.
"I can't think of anything good to say." Akia explained.
"What would you of said about me then?" I questioned further.
"The retarded person from the Powzer family that I am teaching life to." She finished off. I was stunned.
"Well then. Come on in. Make yourself at home." The couple walked us into the cabin. It was obviously made of wood, but it was very cosy. There was a nice oak wood table with some cushions. Their kitchen wasn't too big or too small. They had wall with a door way in the middle of it that, I think, lead to the bedrooms. I looked above the door way and saw a row of pictures with all the professors; Including my mum. I slowly backed away, when I tripped backwards again. Everyone started to laugh again, except for Akia. I wonder what it takes to make her laugh...
"Arrgh!" I shouted in pain.
"You okay there Demond?" Emma asked.
"Do I look okay?!" I shouted again.
"Well sorrrrry Mr Grumpy ass, I was just asking." She said back.
"Well maybe you should look instead of asking me!" I replied.
"Does it look like I want to look at you?" She asked.
"No, at least try maybe?!"
"Maybe if you weren't so grumpy, maybe you could hear I was actually caring about your well-being!"
"Maybe if you weren't so blind you didn't need to ask me!"
"Maybe if you-" Emma started.
"Would you two just SHUT UP! You are BOTH giving me a headache!" Akia snapped, very loudly.
"Sowwie.." Emma apologised.
"If you are sorry, just don't make any more trouble. Geez." Akia said.
"That.. was loud Akia." Cheshire stated.
"It was suppose to be." Akia replied.
"Well, why don't you guys go to the main room, we'll call you when we've done the food." Nicolette said. She and her husband walked into the kitchen. Akia led the way to the main room, where we saw another Eevee.
"Hey there little guy." Akia said. The Eevee looked up at Akia and smiled and jumped up and down. Akia set down the Spheal, finally. She knelt beside the two and patted both of their heads. "This here is the Couple's Eevee." She introduced us. She then let out her Pokemon. He jumped onto Akia's shoulder and rested there. Akia sweat dropped.
"So you've met the Eevee and the couple before then I suppose." Cheshire said.
"Yea, when I was travelling with my sister." She replied.
"Hold up a second." I said.
"What?" Akia said harshly.
"Aren't you gonna tell me what a breeder is?"
"Oh that. Fine." Akia took the Eevee from her shoulder and placed him down on the floor. She looked at me and began. "A breeder is a trainer who basically cares for injured Pokemon, and help Pokemon go back to the wild. As well as breeding them. Like, Nurse Joy can be considered as a Breeder, in the sense that she helps Pokemon, but we qualify her as a Pokemon Nurse." She explained.
"Wait, she can?" Cheshire asked.
"Not many people think outside the box." Akia replied.
"I see, well you learn something new every day." Cheshire stated.
"I learnt something." Akia began.
"What?" I asked.
"That I feel like your mother." She finished off.
"How?" I questioned.
"How? Well, I'm teaching you life, something your mother should have done, but if someone hadn't daydreamt all the time, I wouldn't have had to say all this."
"You don't have-"
"To be so blunt about it. I've heard it all already." Akia finished off for me.
"You two just calm down. Seriously, you are just acting-" Cheshire started.
"Like a couple I know." Akia again, finished off.
"Guys dinners ready." Nicolette came into the room and said.
"I'm not hungry right now, I'll eat later." Akia said before walking into the back yard with her Pokemon and the Spheal.
x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
After dinner I walked into the bedroom area. I saw that Cheshire had her own room. Nicolette had come out of Cheshire's Room and walked towards me.
"Oh, there you are. Come this way, to your room." Nicolette led the way to my own room too.
"Do you know where Akia is?" I asked. Not that I liked her or anything, she was our guide, so if she was gone, where would I go next?
"Oh, she is having her dinner; I showed her, her room already, she's staying with her little sister."
"But it's like 7 in the evening." I said.
"Akia is always different like that. She might seem cold hearted, heartless even. But she is such a sweet girl, caring too, but can be- Oh I've said too much. Anyways, here's your room. We'll wake you up in the mornings." And off she went out of my room. The room had a blue single bed in the corner, next to a window. There was a small desk and a wardrobe at the side. There was a black and red rug in the centre of the room. Suddenly I realised something; because I ran to the route as soon as I got my Pokedex and stuff, I forgot to pick up my bag. That had all my other Pokemon equipment, food, water, my map and my spare clothes and pyjamas. Damn it all. I peeked my head outside my door and saw Akia walking down the hall. She saw my head and rolled her eyes.
"I know something is up, what is it now?" She asked me, as she advanced closer to me.
"Well you know. I kinda rushed to get on Route one, as you know. And I realised that I forgot my bag, which had all the stuff I need. So I've been wearing the same clothes for like 8 days." I explained.
"Geez, you could have told me first. I'll at Kent if he has any spare Pjs for you, which you can keep till we can get to Stone Summit Valley, because the next village does not have a good clothes shop. It only sells clothes for the constant winter that is there." Akia told me. She turned around and walked away from me. She came back 10 minutes later with some spare pyjamas.
"Thank you!" I said grabbing the clothes and running into my room to take a shower and go to bed.
"You're welcome." I heard her say. She retreated back into her room, as her footsteps faded away.
x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
I woke up and changed into the clothes I've been wearing 8 days straight. Now that I think about it, it feels all weird wearing clothes, that haven't been washed. I walked out into the main room and I felt something is different, like I have this strange feeling. I heard steps.
"Morning Demond!" Emma greeted me as she walked out of the hallway.
"Hey." I replied.
"Heya Demond." Cheshire told me. She was behind Emma.
"Hey Emma, where's your sister?" I asked.
"Oh, Akia is out in the back yard, with her Pokemon and stuff." Emma answered. "Oh speak of the Devil." I looked at the back door and saw Akia, with the Spheal in her arms and her Eevees beside her. But I saw a figure behind her.
"Yo." She greeted us.
"Akia, who's that behind you?" I asked.
"Him? See for yourself." Akia stepped to the side and I saw... wait what? I grabbed my pokedex from my pocket.
"Lucario, The Aura Pokemon. It is on its Tip toes all the time. I wonder if it can ever feel pain from there... Anyways, it's not only a fighting type, but is ALSO a steel type. Lucario has the power to sense the aura of its opponent. It-" I cut him off.
"What's an Aura?" I asked.
"AT LEAST LET ME FINISH BEFORE YOU ASK A QUESTION!" He screamed at me.
"Sorry? But it was getting tooooo boringgg. You talk to mu-"
"HOW DOES IT FEEL GETTING CU-"
"I'm use to it." I said.
"Dam it. Anyways an Aura, HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW? I just tell you about the Pokemon..."
"Whatever..." I pointed the Pokedex at Spheal. "Might as well."
"No."
"I won't cut you off this time."
"Fine. Sp-"
"Thank you."
". . ."
"Continue."
"Spheal, the Clap Pokemon... It is an Ice and Water type. And NO it's not something you can kick around like a ball. Spheal moves more quickly by rolling than walkin-"
"Enough of that."
"I WAS ABOUT TO FINISH!"
"Got too boring." And I closed the Pokedex and shoved it into my pocket. "Anyways, who does that Lucario belong to?"
"You." Akia said.
"Wait what?"
"He's yours; he was your Riolu yesterday."
"No way.."
"Yes way. Anyways, we should go, before it's too late." Akia explained. Lucario walked towards me and stood behind me.
"Wait Akia!" Nicolette told her.
"Yes Nico?" Akia questioned.
"You see, our lovely Eevee, needs to go on an Adventure. He shouldn't be kept in this cabin. He should enjoy the wonders of this world, like a Pokemon should."
"Does Eevee want to though?" Akia asked. Espeon walked up the Eevee and talked to him. She nodded at Akia. Nicolette gave Akia a Luxury ball.
"Whenever you're ready." Akia placed the Luxury ball down on the floor. The Eevee walked to the ball and tapped his paw on it, causing it to open and bringing him in. Akia let the Eevee come out.
"Right, here's some food just in case you need it Akia." Nicolette gave her a bag of food.
"Thanks! Right, let's move guys." Akia said, walking out of the front door. "Umbreon and Eevee can you guys return?" The pokemon nodded and went back into their ball. Akia then got onto the route and started walking. The rest of the gang, including me, ran to catch up with her.
x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
"Spheal, this is where you live?" Akia asked as we reached a cave. The Spheal nodded. We walked into the cave and saw it was a two was path. But we were in like a big room.
"Hey there trainers! I'm Eira! I Challenge you to a double battle! One on One!" This girl had a dress just below her knee. It was navy blue, the ends were white and arms, which are short sleeves. She also had a red ribbon on her neck and a big blue bow in her hair.
"I'll do it." I said, walking forward a bit.
"If you can handle it." Akia stated.
"I will."
"Fly away Delibird and Spin Seel!" Eira said.
"Go Poochyena and Lucario!"
"Fake out and Icy winds!" Delibird ran up to Lucario and clapped in front of him. The hands had huge sound waves and made Lucarico flinch.
"Damn. Poochyena Bite! Lucario Dark Pulse!" Poochyena ran up to Seel and was about to Bite her when Seel used Icy winds to deflect it. Lucario shoots a beam of purple circles at Delibird and hit her straight on.
"Present! Head Butt!"
"Tackle! Metal Claw!" Delibird got a present and threw it at Lucario. Lucario dodged it and ran up to Delibird and clawed her in the FACE ((in the face) If you get this reference good for you). Seel and Poochyena ran and met each other in the middle and ran into each other, with their heads.
"Ice Shard! Hail"
"Bite and Force Palm!" Seel shot 5 ice shards from her mouth and aimed at Poochyena, who took it like a man. He ran up to her and did a front flip to end up behind her. Just to be fancy. He bit Seel on the tail. Delibird blew out some bits of hail into the air and created some hail.
"Hail is a weather changer, it's like sunny day, but instead makes it hail instead of the temperature increasing and the sun brightening. Hail makes it so that Pokemon who are not Ice type get damaged occasionally." Akia explained. I hate to admit. Like a pro. As she said that, Lucario ran right up to Delibird and slapped her in the belly with a Force Palm and then Force Palm her bag.
"Oh looks like your little -"
"She is not my girlfriend!"
"Hm. Head Butt once more and Frost breath!"
"Quick Attack and Tackle." Seel headed for Poochyena, but instead Lucario ran up and met Seel half way, pushing her back and fainting. Delibird shot out a Frost Breath and was aiming for Poochyena. Poochyena jumped to the side and dodged the breath. He ran up and hit Delibird straight on, causing her to faint
"I won?" I questioned.
"Just! Wait a second. Look at your Poochyena!" Eira said. Poochyena was glowing brightly. I blinked. I had no idea what was going on. After a minute or so, my poochyena transformed into a Mightyena.
"Woah I got a Mightyena!" I exclaimed.
"You know it's natural for your Pokemon to evolve" Akia explained. I started to jump around excitedly and shouted repeatedly at the top of my lungs. 'YES! I GOT A MIGHTYENA!' I paused for a bit when I realized that Akia was staring at me. There was a 10 second pause.
"Noww~ You are just creeping me out." She said, but I still kept going. Suddenly I tripped and face planted. Everyone laughed except for Akia again. "You tripped on some ice. It was great that you did, you would never have stopped if you didn't. We have a region to go through." Akia explained with a smirk on her face. I wished I could just wipe that smirk off her face.
"That was a great battle! I was so, SO close to winning! Oh well, good luck on your journey! And with your-" Eria said.
"Don't you DARE finish that sentence!" I shouted.
"Oh just shut your mouth Demond. No one wants to hear your complaints." Akia scolded me. "Anyways, come on guys, you should go to the left. I gotta take this Spheal back to his home. Meet you guys outside the cave."
"Okie Doki sis." Emma replied.
"Oh Emma I forgot to tell you that you can use the Honorific (I think this is the right word), if you want."
"Okie Nee~"
"Wait what?" I asked.
"Your head is too weak to handle it all, De-san."
"Huh?"
"Just follow Cheshire, Emma and Willow."
"Okay boss!"
"Whatever. Just go." Akia said. So Cheshire, Emma, Willow and me went to the left while Akia went to the right.
x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
We got outside and saw it was snowing softly. It was breathtaking. We stared at the scenery for a while longer.
"This looks amazing!" Emma stated the obvious.
"I wonder what this place is called." Cheshire said to no one in particular.
"It's called Frozen Carven." Someone said from behind us. We turned around and saw it was Akia.
"Nee!" Emma shouted, running up to the figure.
"Hey Emma, looks like you came out alive."
"Akiii-neee~ You make it seem like I wouldn't."
"Exactly." Akia looked at Emma with a smirk. "Come, we need to go to the next Village," And with that we began our way to the next town.
x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
We reached the Village. I looked up and saw a sign with 'FrostLake Village'
"Let's head to the pokemon centre, you are gonna need to rest up your pokemon Demond." Akia told me and walked ahead with that group.
We reached the pokemon centre and in there I saw my mum? What? I backed off behind Cheshire, as she was at the back of the group.
"Son, what are you doing? Trying to hide from me huh?" My mum scolded me.
"Wait WHAT?" Cheshire and Emma shouted at the same time.
"Is it that impossible to believe?" Akia asked.
"Yes!" Emma shouted out.
"The reason is that, the child of a professor should me amazing." Cheshire said.
"Plus! Isn't the Powzer family suppose to be good at what they do?" Emma asked.
"Your question Emma, that's a yes. Che-Chan, everyone is different, just saying." Akia answered.
"Anyways, that's not why we are here for." My mum said.
"Why are you here?" I asked.
"Well you know its Emma's birthday?" Akia proclaimed.
"It is?" Cheshire and I said at the same time.
"And she is now ten. So she can now become an actual trainer." Akia replied.
"Here is your trainer card and your pokedex." My mum gave her a trainer card and the same pokedex that I had.
"Wait. This pokedex is the exact replica of Unova's Pokedex though!" Emma stated.
"I'm still working on our region Pokedex. Oh and I almost forgot, you two don't have a trainer card, so here you go." My mum gave me and Akia a trainer card.
"Problem. I'm going to have 9 Pokemon." Akia said.
"Wait WHAT?" I asked.
"I've told you this before."
"You did?"
"Naaa, I totally didn't and just lying to you right now."
"Seriously? You are?" Akia face palmed.
"Whatever, just shut up. Professor, may I have another trainer card?"
"Here you go." My mum gave her another trainer card.
"Emma here." Akia gave Emma a pokeball. "Happy tenth birthday."
"Thanks Nee!" Emma let out the pokemon. "Omg! Thanks Nee! I always wanted a Skitty!" Emma ran up to Akia and hugged her. Akia returned the hug. I took out my Pokedex and pointed it at the Skitty.
"Skitty, the kitty Pokemon. It loves chasing objects and its own tail. I guess it likes running. Thought it has proven to be difficult to earn its-" I closed the Pokedex.
"Before I go, you can update your Trainer card at any Pokemon centre. Okay, I'm off" My mum stated at the last minute.
"Bai bai!" Emma said. My mum went out of the pokemon centre.
Akia asked Nurse Joy to get us all a room each and to look after my Pokemon. She agreed and took us to our respected rooms. After some time in our room, it was night time, and I have yet to get changed. I felt as though I shouldn't get changed right now. I heard footsteps outside my door. I let it go pass before I go and followed the sound. I was just curious that was all. I kept following this figure. It went to this little place near the Village. I stood behind a bush, which was slightly higher than where then figure jumped down at. There was some kind of Ice rock there with a Pokemon on it? I looked at the figure and saw it was Akia!
"Hey there. Why are you out here by your-" Akia started, but was interrupted by the Pokemon taking its battle stance and slowly backed away. Akia did back off a bit and opened her bag. She pulled out a piece of Pokemon food and put it on the floor. Akia backed off, just a little be more, to give the Pokemon some space. The Pokemon walked towards the piece of food with caution. The Pokemon put its head down and sniffed the food. Then it ate it. Akia then put a piece of food into her hand. The Pokemon walked towards her with caution too. It put its head onto the hand and ate the food. While that happened Akia's hand that held the food was brought up and pet the pokemon. The pokemon suddenly jumped and backed off. Akia looked at it with a sad face. Akia sat down on the floor and put a pokeball down in front of her.
"You can join me if you want to, but you don't have to. It's your choice." Akia explained. The pokemon backed off to rock and sat on it. Akia smiled sadly. She let out all her pokemon.
"Hey Espeon, can you ask the Glaceon why she keeps backing off? And if she doesn't want to tell you its fine." Espeon nodded and walked to the Glaceon. Espeon talked to the Glaceon for a little while and then she turned to face Akia. She locked eyes with Akia and closed their eyes at the same time. She sighed. "I know how you feel Glaceon. It happened to me too... about 4 years ago. I thought I could trust them, but I thought wrong. They left. Just for money as well." I just stared at her shocked at what I heard. "Because of that, I lost so much trust in people, which is why I'm so cold and rude to strangers, or people I don't really trust, which is basically everyone. But in reality, I'm just scared and afraid." Akia looked at Glaceon. "So I do know how you feel." The Glaceon smiled at her and ran straight at the pokeball. The pokeball caught her immediately. Akia let out Glaceon and the Glaceon jumped straight into Akia's arms so they both hugged. I was about to leave, when I tripped over my own foot and fell into the rock area, head first into the ground. "Damn it De. What are y-" Akia was interrupted by a sneeze. "You alright Glaceon?" Akia put her hand on Glaceon's head and her eyes widen a little. Then I blacked out.
x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
I woke up on a hospital bed. I questioned how I got there. I looked to the right, there was Nurse Joy, Cheshire and Emma while to the left there was Akia.
"You okay De?" Akia asked.
"Just about. What happened?" I questioned her back.
"You fell off your bed and went sleep walking. I went for a stroll, because I couldn't sleep. I saw you and you feel straight into the Ice rock ditch. Head first. You have temporary memory loss of that event. Don't worry; you'll remember it one day." Akia explained.
"Okay?" A Chansey came in the room and looked at Nurse Joy.
"Akia-chan, you are going to love this." The Nurse said. Akia looked at Chnasey and she held a...
"Glaceon, The fresh snow pokemon. It is a Ice type. Glaceon can freeze the fur on its body, and make it stick out like sharp needles." I looked at Emma and she was holding her Pokedex.
"Wait. When did you get a shiny Glaceon?" Cheshire asked.
"Now that is something you don't need to know."
Well thats it! Such a good cliffy!
Edit: Okay not really! I've done better cliffys but you know :33
Snowy out!
