Hello! Sorry for the late update. My job demanded a weird schedule and I was falling alseep straight after work. I'll try to keep the updates consistent again.

And thank you!

-Line Break-

We were walking along the path as I explained about the Pokédex even after Gold got a call about Polibo, a Poliwag, being missing from the rest of the pokémon that were sent home. He was pretty energetic in about finding Polibo as he was trying to find the thief.

"The Pokédex's main function is to gather information on a pokémon as Professor Oak said before. In battle, you can only scan the level, gender, and health points of a wild pokémon and moves and overall stats of a captured one with the reason being that the information is downloaded once it's captured" I explained to Gold. "Though it only works with pokémon you have on yourself but there is a move list with the moves that it can learn so you'll be fine once you memorize it."

"Eh? That's so much work though!" Gold whined.

I just smiled. "But the thief probably is doing all that right now. Like I said, it's an information gathering tool and prior knowledge can turn the tide of a battle. It's not meant to be used during a battle but it does help if needed."

Gold seemed to be encouraged by this and scanned Murkrow. "'People loathe to see Murkrow at night for it is said that they bring misfortune. They also lead travelers into the mountains after stealing from them, the travelers become lost whilst losing the items they were trying to retrieve. They adore shiny objects.'" He read out loud. "Level 23 and a female."

"Eh, true enough, though that first bit is a superstition. We like to prank humans since they make the funniest reactions." Murkrow shrugged.

"It doesn't show anything else." He said a bit disappointed.

I scanned Murkrow myself. "She knows Peck, Astonish, Pursuit, Haze, Night Shade," I raised my eyebrows, "Shadow Ball, and Icy Wind?" I glanced at her.

"My sire was a Delibird and he taught me Icy Wind. Memma taught me Shadow Ball because a good reliable range move would help me like it did her."

"I don't believe that! Icy Wind my butt!" He pointed at Murkrow. "I want to see proof!"

Murkrow shrugged and flapped her wings and sent a harsh cold wind at Gold with bits of ice and snowy frosting on him.

"I'm not very good at using it too long. My wings tend to numb up before long."

"I guess Pidgeot can help you learn Steel Wing first before we practice your Icy Wind. Stronger wings can help build up resistance and you'll able to fly longer." I said as Murkrow nodded and then I turned to Gold. "All pokémon have a generic move list they all can learn either by leveling or through TMs, but if you train hard enough for a move that might be possible for them to learn, then they'll able to learn it. Like Vulpix with Psychic here." I gestured to the little fire fox.

"That's cool and all but I'm slightly frozen here!" Gold's clothing was slightly iced over.

"Oh sorry. Vulpix?" I looked down to the fire type.

"First a fire bird, now an ice bird." Vulpix said as she light a piece of wood on fire. "Now all we need is an electric bird to have our own legendary bird trio."

I held a laugh at the comment as Gold warmed up. "What about your Vulpix?" He scanned and held in a scream with shocked eyes.

"What's wrong?" I looked at him curiously.

He gulped. "Your Vulpix is level 66?" He squeaked.

"That's really high!" Aibo squeaked along.

I blinked and nodded. "Yep, though is that a problem?"

"How?! I thought you were a researcher not a trainer!" He pointed in an accusing manner.

"Well where I live, there are only strong pokémon that are constantly fighting against each other and my pokémon are always in those fights. It also helps that my friends are always coming over for a training session so I don't have to worry about variety, plus if there's nothing to do, they train on their own." I shrugged. "Two of my friends are stronger than me but then again, it's their jobs to be stronger than their opponents so they're always training to be better. But I always have close matches and sometimes pull a win in the end if the battles are four on four or less."

Gold looked confused. "Why?"

"Because as of a couple of days ago, Murkrow just became my fifth pokémon." I smiled.

"What?! And how long have you been doing this?"

"Three years now. Why?"

Gold just looked at me. "People with usually have a full team by then."

"I don't go out of my way to catch pokémon. I usually let the pokémon follow me if they want to." Then I pulled out Pidgeot's ball and sent him out making Gold and Aibo squawked at the large bird. "Pidgeot, this is Murkrow. She's new to the team so start her off with Steel Wing and work your way up like at home."

"Ho? A fellow flying type? Nice to meet'cha." Pidgeot greeted. "Follow me, I'll take you through the steps." And they both took off.

Gold pointed and shouted after looking at his Pokédex. "Level 71- Why is your appearance so deceiving?!"

"Hpmh, what a rude boy. I can see why the old professor made you accompany this one." Vulpix stated.

"Don't underestimate anyone, Gold." I said to him. "That's the fastest way to lose a battle, plus I never really cared for numbers and stats when it comes to training pokémon." I paused. "Actually, this is the first time in a long time that I checked their levels and stats." I said to myself but I shook my head. "Now come on, Violet City is an hour away. Murkrow should be able to get Steel Wing down in that time."

His stomach growled. "And I'm hungry, let's go!"

I laughed as he ran ahead of me. Should I tell him he was going the wrong way?

-Line Break-

Gold and I went our separate ways once we got into the city. After visiting the PokéCenter, Murkrow and I went to the Sprout Tower since I heard this is where trainers come to train.

"Steel Wing and Icy Wind only and no flying, Murkrow. You'll be working with your wings a lot more than just flying so you need to get used to using them as weapons than something for a quick escape." I told her and she nodded.

"And prepare yourself too, you're limit to what you're used to so even if they are weaker or you have the type advantage you won't be at your fullest." Vulpix warned.

"Right, I understand. Plus it doesn't look like there's much room to fly anyways even with its tall structure." She looked up at the lofty building from my shoulders. "I'll do my best."

We went in and saw it being barren of people besides a lone monk besides some stairs. The place was full of information on the building itself and the legend of a thirty meter tall Bellsprout being the center of this building.

"What a bustling place." Vulpix said sarcastically. "Will my voice echo too?"

"I'm here to train my Murkrow, may we pass?" I asked the monk ignoring the fire type.

"Another one today?" He smiled. "Yes you may, but only after you defeat me!" He sent out a Bellsprout who immediately got into a stance.

Murkrow also flew off my shoulders and readied a Steel Wing as he too got into a stance.

"Let's see how well you fight, bird." The grass type said.

Murkrow narrowed her eyes. "Let's see indeed, weed."

"Swords Dance and Cut!" The monk shouted.

"Feel my blade, bird!" The Bellsprout danced a formation before coming in fast with its extremely sharp leaves.

Murkrow quickly parried awkwardly with her wings, but still locked with the smaller pokémon with her Steel Wing. Her feathers were hardened and her muscles were still weaker than what I wanted, but that is why we came here for.

"I may not been training with my senior for long, but the results definitely show!" She pushed back the grass type and immediately rammed her wings into the surprised Bellsprout. "This is the end!"

One final hit and she knocked out Bellsprout throwing it back to the monk. The monk was surprised, probably from the unusual method of defeat.

"Oho! What a way to battle!" He said excitedly. "I've never met a trainer that trains their flying types to stay on the ground."

"I'm actually a field assistant to research pokémon for my employer who sent me out on my own with a traveling companion to watch over, and I thought this would be a great time to train Murkrow before heading off again." I said.

He nodded his head in agreement. "The Sprout Tower is meant for growth of both body and mind. We welcome to those eager to train like you are, it's a shame that you can't stay any longer than today. Up the stairs and other monks will challenge you and tell you where to go next."

"Thank you!" I waved as Murkrow flew up the stairs to catch up.

It was very tedious getting into sword fights, wing versus leaf, but it did help Murkrow learn quickly to be more aware about her wings and get used to battling with them. If she knows her own body well enough, then she'll also know when she's over or under reaching and if she could take or avoid the hit.

Staying grounded can also open up her awareness of her surroundings too since she doesn't have the safety net of flying away, but she was doing very well and hasn't even used Icy Wind yet. It might be because of the fact that her pride as a flying type was on the line if she lost to a dancing plant who has oddly named trainers like 'Thoughtful'. Nothing wrong with it, just another jab to her pride if she did lose.

"I never felt more tired and exhilarated at the same time. Ground bound pokémon have my respect and I find myself appreciating that I can fly." Murkrow shook and preened some feathers back into place.

Vulpix nodded. "It makes you realize how much you rely on your other moves. I never realized how much I retaliated with a fire move until this human told me 'Iron Tail' only. Now I'm able to set my tail on fire and hit hard!" She said giddily as sparks ignited around her tail.

"Really? I wonder if I could combine my dark energy to achieve the same thing..."

I saw a beautiful friendship between the two. Both didn't act on their need to cause mischief as in their nature, but both did enjoy a good laugh when it came at other's expense and top that off with the want to get creative while getting stronger, these two are definitely be something when training together.

"Okay guys, let's go! There should be another monk to battle before moving on to the next floor." I nudged them forward.

When we arrived to the next monk, there was already a red haired trainer battling him. He had a Totodile battling for him that used an ice move on the Bellsprout.

"Finish it off with Ice Punch!" He commanded swiftly and the water starter knocked out the grass type.

"Hmm, not as impressive as Nidoking's but then that's just unfair to compare to." Vulpix said. "But the little water type will be something when it gets stronger."

I nodded. "Totodile could be more agile, but I guess its trainer either powers through obstacles, plays by their strengths, or simply just practicing Ice Punch." I shrugged not caring about his training methods. "Either way he's done good with that Totodile."

I saw the boy glance back at me before walking off to the side checking up on his Totodile. The monk noticed me and grinned ecstatically.

"Two challengers today? How exciting!" He said and saw both Murkrow and Vulpix. "Violet City houses mostly flying type trainers or specifically Bird Keepers, so I definitely can give your Murkrow a challenge though I can't do much against you Vulpix sadly."

I waved at him. "I'm only using Murkrow so it's fine. I need to train with her when I have the time since I'll be traveling most of the time doing research."

"Ah, excellent! I have a second Bellsprout to battle with so prepare yourself!" He threw out said grass type.

"You know what to do Murkrow." I merely said.

Murkrow readied herself once more. "Your kind are very agile and flexible with your styles and each one I fought was stronger than the last. Will you be able to stop me?"

"We shall see."

The fight started and the same song and dance ensued but for Murkrow, the steps were just a little more faster than the last. This place was really perfect for the Darkness Pokémon to ease her way into the training methods that everyone else went through. I really am thankful for the convenience this is.

"You're definitely stronger! But I still have another move I can use, Icy Wind!" But to her surprise, the gust of frost and ice came out more stronger than she did last time with the quick flaps of her wings freezing the poor grass type. "That is definitely a good result."

"Stronger wings means more power to all your attacks along with more stamina when flying." I said to her. "You've done really well today that's for sure."

Vulipx nodded. "And keep that up, you might actually start throwing around Blizzards like Dragonair." She looked at the bird. "I really was serious about the comparisons with the legendary bird trio. Pidgeot can set himself on fire after all."

"...What?"

I laughed a little as the monk congratulated me. "I've never seen a ground bound flying type, nor have I seen a Murkrow use an ice attack before but either way it was such an exciting battle!"

"Thank you, Murkrow already knew Icy Wind when I caught her earlier and keeping her grounded is a good way for her to work her wings like this." I said with practice, this is like the forth or fifth time now?

"She's definitely going to be something if you keep training her this way!"

I smiled and gave an Oran Berry for Murkrow to eat real quick since she starting to show her fatigue from the consecutive battles. She really is like the rest with her pride, she'll fit in real nicely with the others definitely

"That boy has been staring at us for quite some time now. I wonder what he wants?" I saw the red head lingering in a dark corner with Totodile watching us too.

Now that I think about it, a Totodile was stolen from Professor Elm's lab too. I didn't get much from Gold about the thief because I was too busy teaching him about the Pokédex. Maybe he's the thief?

"Hmm? Oh, your still here." The monk looked over in surprise. "You two should go together then! The rest of us has two Bellsprouts also so it'll be a good way to get through the training area quicker and to the next floor." He grinned. "And I also recommend battling together! It'll give you teamwork and planning skills if you two participate in a double battle against the others."

Murkrow shrugged. "I don't mind. I think it'll be interesting."

"I don't mind." I echoed. "How about it?"

He just grunted. "As long as you don't get in my way." He started to walk away.

"What a sunny character." We all started to trot behind him. "I wonder if he does kids shows too."

Murkrow snorted. "And I'm the star pokémon of the act." They both giggled. "Speaking of acts, what do you think of a good old fashion prank?"

"Why darling! I thought you never asked, I have so many to discuss and try out. The only other being that indulges me of my mischief is my mentor herself." Vulpix sighed. "Everybody else are such meatheads here and Rayne is too nice to even think about pranking anybody. The only time he dips into his mischievous ways is when he's playing games that are meant to utilize mind games on others."

"Oh? I guess we can try to change that now that you have me. We will be marvelous together." And they both snickered.

I spoke way too soon about them and it seems Totodile would agree with me when I saw him shiver. I can feel dread creep down on my stomach but as long as I choose to be ignorant of their too good of a friendship, it won't be as bad when the end results crashes down on me.

Apparently the boy ahead of me heard my two pokémon and saw his own look slightly afraid. Pokémon are naturally sensitive to their surroundings so of course he would be afraid, but I just shrugged. He looked at me in question.

"It's in their nature to, uh, plan humourous results at other's expense. Your Totodile probably just over hearing them planning."

"Females are scary and they're much scarier than Chikorita back at the lab."

Oh. This is awkward now. This is the Totodile that's stolen from Professor Elm's, but it doesn't look like this boy is misusing him and he's training Totodile legitimately. He's like Blue but less, er, Blue.

Actually, his hair style kind of reminds me of hers when I first met her.

"Never mind that, I guess I'll be your battling partner then." I put on a smile. "My name's Rayne, nice to meet you!" I could see his whole being freeze up in mid step. "Something the matter?"

"No, let's just move on."

It was slightly awkward in the beginning trying to see what works when battling with the other but we managed to find a rhythm, or Murkrow did. I just watched as I usually do.

I really didn't know how to confront the thief besides just to walk up and talk about it. I didn't want to scare him off which won't happen with Vulpix's Psychic, but there's also the fact that Gold has a thing going on with him. I guess I'll just speak to Professor Oak about this.

I looked up again to see Murkrow use Icy Wind to freeze Totodile's Water Gun to create a frozen projectiles aiming towards the poor grass types. Another battle won and adding to the winning streak for the past two hours.

Huh, it's been that long already? I wonder what's Gold doing.

"Hey." I looked over to the unnamed boy. "Why don't you command your pokémon?"

"Hmm? Because I don't need to. Murkrow's doing just fine on her own." I replied.

He just frowned. "I can tell, but how? Pokémon that do their own things in battle usually means it's disobedient or leads to disobedience but your Murkrow seems to be fine. You did say you caught it recently."

Ah, that's right. Normally wild pokémon don't usually has the discipline that trained pokémon has, with the exception with everyone at home. A finesse that shows the trainer's ability to train the pokémon to it's full potential instead of just firing moves like a blind berserker.

For normal humans, it takes a large amount of trust onto their pokémon to let them start doing their own thing in battle. With me though, I don't need constant reassurance to know that they'll be fine on their own since I can communicate on a face to face level and it also helps that Murkrow was willing to submit to these training methods after being impress by the others.

"I gave her prior orders of just Steel Wing and Icy Wind only and no flying." I said to him. "This builds up her situational awareness and reaction times along with building strength to her wings. That's why I don't need to command her, but I will if she needs to shift tactics and even then she could do that on her own."

He was still frowning though. "But you just caught Murkrow though."

"And I trust Murkrow to carry out and win her battles. If she loses then that means she needs to get stronger to win again, that's what trainers are for right?" I grinned. "Though I do recommend holding off mimicking my training methods until you and your pokémon absolutely comfortable with each other. I've been doing this for years now and my own team are able to relay their own experiences to Murkrow to let her know that I'm more competent than I look." I winked.

I laughed as he looked away quickly moving on to the stairs. Gold was exactly right when he told me that my appearance was disarming. I didn't really think about it and once he mentioned it, a lot of things were suddenly clear. I don't hang around people outside my close circle of friends actively so I don't hear what they think of me often and my co-workers keep to themselves unless they need something.

We climbed up to the top of the stairs until I heard Gold shouting behind us half way down.

"You!" I turned to see Gold pointing at the boy ahead of me. "And Rayne? What are you doing with him?!"

"We're training here." I gestured to Murkrow. "I'd introduce you two, but I don't know his name though." Though it doesn't seem like he heard me.

"He's the thief that I'm chasing!"

I just took several steps back as the two boys started to clash against each other. The sudden confrontation made me step back and watch the eleven year olds go at it like little ones that are fighting over a toy.

"So we're not interfering?" The black bird asked.

"They're fine, it's not like they'll hurt each other." I said easily. "This isn't too different from when the little ones or even the more rowdier pokémon duking it out, I would help but Gold has something to settle with the other."

"Most humans would help catch the thief, you know."

Vulpix padded beside her. "Rayne's not a normal human. He was raised by pokémon so his sense of right and wrong are very mixed between us and his kind. And he's not wrong, this is extremely tame compared to what we see."

"Really now? That's a story I want to hear next time but I guess that makes sense."

I laughed awkwardly thinking on my situation. With pokémon, grievances are always settled between the parties that are involved, but with humans, it's like a Beedrill nest and they all swarm depending on the degree of the crime. Unless I really have to, I won't get involve in respect of the two parties but it's getting harder to do that with how complex humans are. Not that Gold and the other boy's problem with each other are.

As long as those grievances doesn't spill to other's normalcy, then it's best to leave them be so they can work it out. I am so glad pokémon are so simple, even Old Zam would take a nice long meditation than go around scolding others to try and keep order.

"Totodile, Slash!" I shook out of my musings and watched as the red head destroyed the stair casing right under Gold but Aibo's quick save with his tail manage to pull up the hot headed boy.

"We aren't giving up until you give back Totodile, Silver!" Gold yelled. "Exbo, Ember!"

"Water Gun!"

"If they keep this up, they might break more than just those stairs." Vulpix said watching with a leery gaze at the puddle a few feet from her.

I crouched down dodging another Water Gun. "I think it's best for Gold to find out that Totodile is pretty fond of the other boy."

"Silver, huh? I wonder why Gold didn't bring it up."

Murkrow perched up onto my shoulders avoiding a stray Ember. "He's a prideful one so I guess he's just afraid that Rayne would alert the other humans before he gets his thoughts across."

"Smokescreen!" Exbo released heavy smoke from his back blinding all of us and I strained my ears like the others so I could hear Gold.

"C'mon Totodile! Come with me, I'm sure you want to be away from that jerk. You don't have to- Ack!"

"I like my trainer, you stupid human!"

I could hear Gold grunt in pain. "Don't tell me you actually want to stay with him!"

The smoke cleared and Silver waved off some smoke. "Don't be surprised, of course he would." And Totodile jumped back to his trainer. "He wants to be strong and I can make him strong."

"What?! That can't be, though I can't tell what he's thinking." Gold trailed off uncertainly.

Then creaking sounded along with the sound of gears turning as their wooded bodies grinded against each other. The walls surrounding us revealed spikes and started closing in on us and we all scrambled into the center.

"What's going on?! What's wrong with this place?!" Gold shouted.

"How exciting! Let's see if it can take a hit!" Vulpix gave a nice sized dent and dislodging the iron spiked wall from the mechanism it's attached to. "Eh, good enough but a little more power could've destroyed the wooden exterior."

"Scary." I heard Totodile muttered.

I turned to the other two who both had a degree of shock on their faces. "I knew Vulpix was strong, but I couldn't believe just how strong she was." Gold muttered.

I smiled. "She's been through the same training as Murkrow so of course she would be strong." I said simply. "Murkrow should be able to power her way through the basics if she keeps this up, then it's a matter of experience and adding on to her move sets along with strategies and practice."

"Your supposed to be a researcher, not a trainer!" Gold shouted.

I crossed my arms. "How else am I going to keep them in shape? And just because I have a job doesn't mean I'm not a trainer." People have other jobs to work with too like how Falkner is a police officer while being a trainer going for a gym leader position.

Another creaking interrupted us and the ceiling opened up dropping a giant iron ball from the top of another set of stairs. I pinched the bridge of my nose exhaling softly. Why is this place full of traps?

"What is with this place! We can't out run that since you broke the stairs behind us!" Gold yelled in panic.

"What a loud one he is."

"Then we'll have to catch it!" Silver prepared himself.

Vulpix's eyes glowed in her psychic energy and used Psychic. "This is much heavier than Nidoking but still manageable if I just hold it back." I nodded.

I looked towards the two starters and an idea popped into my head as I looked at their trainers. "Vulpix is only holding it back and the only way out of here is to break that iron ball. Since this is a training place, it must be part of the design to test the trainers themselves." I looked at them seriously. "What will you do?"

Murkrow already proved herself and I can already think of ways to destroy that ball. This is a test of the trainer's ingenuity in response to situations like these.

"Can't you just bring out one of your other pokémon and break it?" Gold whined. "It'll be faster."

I rolled my eyes. "Yes, but then you'll just be taking the easy way out. Are you saying that you can't take up a challenge like this? If you can't, then how do you expect to reach your goals?"

Gold was taken aback. "What brought this on? We just need to get out don't we?"

I sighed. "Gold, this is a training facility. Silver, the person you're trying to catch, came here to train and has been successful in getting stronger while you were off doing whatever you were doing." I looked at him hard. "Can you say that you can catch him the way you are?"

Silver himself was already trying to think of a way to destroy to ball while the two starters were whispering to each other It seemed to struck a cord with Gold since that his enemy/rival was ahead of him in terms of power.

I was kind of proud to see Gold grow up a little as he set everything aside for a moment to destroy that ball with Silver. It just put a smile to my face to know that Gold is taking things more seriously and taking things into consideration before stepping forward. His brashness really does remind me of Red's but he's just like a brave little one that doesn't really think.

I spun my cane in my one hand and looked down on it. This thing has been my own crutch for the longest time. Given to me as a way to defend myself, but also a tool that housed a large amount of my self-confidence, and now, I don't even think about it anymore.

I don't hide behind it or grip it as much with my nervous habits like before and it certainly is not holding up my self-confidence anymore. It's more like an extension of myself since it's been with me nearly my whole conscience life and sharing all the experiences I've ever been through.

I don't need it anymore, but I don't have the heart to leave it behind. Seeing it just reminds me just how much happier I've been and to know that I can actively help others too.

It made me wonder if the others think the same way as I do. My life changed so much but the changes just fly right pass me without me noticing. I wonder what I'll notice now that I'm kind of aware of it.

I watched Yellow get smothered under the group of Eevee. Like the others, she wasn't very comfortable traveling deep into the Viridian forest, but knowing that the others visited my home reassured her a bit.

She absolutely loved it especially when the Eevee started to play with her and she sent out all her pokémon to join in all the fun. Old Zam also commented on how she was a child of the forest and that the forest accepts her kindly.

"Hey Rayne? Have you ever wondered who your parents were?" Yellow asked.

I swallowed nervously and grimaced. "I try not to honestly."

"Why not? I mean, your home is amazing but don't you think that someone is looking for you before you came here?" Yellow's innocent questioning brought up an uncomfortable feeling.

An Eevee jumped to my lap and I petted the soft fur. "To be honest with you, everytime I try to remember something before I lived here, I always get a horrible sense of loneliness." I said. "And it's the kind where the people around you don't want you there so you have to stay out of the way in order to avoid trouble."

"That's horrible!" Yellow exclaimed. "I'm sorry that I asked."

I smiled weakly to her. "It's fine, you're the first person that I actually told this to and it something that I don't really need to worry about."

"Really? I thought you would've told someone by now since you live here alone with pokémon." Yellow commented.

I nodded. "Professor Oak and Red's memma actually inspected and added to the living areas before leaving satisfied. They said to think of it as a thank you gift for collecting data on the legendaries and traveling with Red." I thought back. "I think they already know I'm too cemented to leave this place and it also help ease their minds that this place it in great condition despite its age."

We laughed and went onto lighter topics but the subject of my parents always leave me a bit depressed.

Did they not want me or did I ran away?

I don't remember but I do know that I really don't want to find out. Dread fills my heart at the thought of confronting my parents, and if I do, I hope I won't be alone.

The loneliness was always coupled with the feeling of confinement but something else inside of me tells me that those fears were made worse through the years, especially after Team Rocket's failed raid. The thought that it was my own imagination making my fears worse gave me some hope that my parents weren't too bad.

But the stabbing pain of rejection and isolation was ever growing each time my thoughts drift back to them.

"Rayne!" I eyes snapped out of the haze I was lost in and I turned to Yellow who looked concern. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm more hung up on the parent issue but never mind that. What were you asking?"

Yellow looked at me worriedly but dropped it to my relief. "So moms and dads are 'memmas' and 'sires' right?"

"Yup!" I beamed. "And er, I guess newborns would be hatchlings and the young pokémon would be little ones. It's interchangeable depending who you're talking to and other species like bird pokémon have different terms like 'fledgling' or 'kit' for the feline pokémon but 'little one' is universal since everyone is little when they're young. Or acting like a brat."

Yellow and I chatted on happily. She was so eager to learn more about the world that is pokémon and I happily obliged her since we can both relate to each other from our connections to pokémon.

I hope there are more happy days like this.
