As the boy walked into his pre-school, something that had become second nature to him since mid-October, he felt weird but in the end he chalked it up to it being the he his parents were going to leave him with a babysitter for more than an hour. They said they were going on a "romantic getaway", but Skye knew better. They had been bickering for days now, nothing enough to worry the boy about a divorce, but not petty enough that they would not want to be alone with each other for more than 3 hours.

The boy went about as normal, celebrating in the saint Patricks' day festivities at his school. There was dancing and singing with his friends and all the grass type Pokémon, shroomish and bulbasuar and Cyoto's grass own grass starter, herbapec. Herbapecs are small Pokémon that bear a close resemblance to bulbasuar, unlike bulbasuar however these Pokémon have mini-gardens on their backs. Most of the kids only being in kindergarten had never seen a herbapec, so they had a trainer come in and scan it to find out what it was.

HERBAPEC: the grass-beast Pokémon

Weight: 17 Lb.

Height: 1'5

This Pokémon makes use of the flowers on its back for photosynthesis meaning it requires no food. The flowers also show how close to evolving the Pokémon is, the more flowers the closer it is to evolution.

After all of the kids got over the fact that the pokedex could talk, they were amazed by the things it said. One adventurous child went-up and plucked a flower from its' back, the herbapec looked at the child with a mildly confused glare before a flower came up to take its' place. This further amazed everyone before the trainer said that it could change the type of flower on its' back at will. All of the children screamed for the trainer to do that, before he got up and went outside. The kids' roar of noise turned into a dull murmur, all of them wondering where the man had gone. After a good five minutes the men returned and in his hands were 8 shamrocks and one four-leafed clover. The man calmly walked up to the Pokémon and held up the 9 plants, the Herbapec seemed to automatically know what to do, as if the man does this particular trick a lot and suddenly all of the various flowers on its' back vanished. Then, not two seconds later the creatures' back was completely adorned with shamrocks, and if you looked closely enough you could see some four-leafed clovers.

The man proceeded to talk to the Principal, which then turned into an argument, which they desperately tried and failed to keep quiet. All of the children heard what they were talking about, the trainer wanted 50,000 Poke-yen (50 US Dollars) for doing the trick with the shamrocks and clovers. The Principal, however, was having none of that.

"50,000 Poke-yen!" The Principal whisper-shouted "Have you lost your damn mind!? Do you know how much you cost us yearly? 12% of our freaking budget and you have the audacity to ask for more!?"

The trainer stifled a laugh "Only 12%? You should consider yourselves lucky, I have friends who would charge 45%, and would have done much less than I did."

The Principal stood there, his scowl masking the frustration he felt, he knew full well that the trainer was right and they could NOT afford to lose this program, and the fact that someone less than half his age had leverage over him annoyed him to no end.

After grumbling somethings that most parents wouldn't want their kids repeating, the Principal dug around in his pockets for a bit and pulled out the cash and begrudgingly handed it over.

"Pleasure doing business with you." Said the trainer before walking out of the room with a swagger in his step and wearing a grin too big for his face.

The Principal sighed before saying that the rest of the day was a recess. As the man turned to leave he was trampled over by the excited children as if they were a herd of Tauros caught in an earthquake.

As I peeked around from my hiding spot behind the tree I saw HIM. Skye… I just can't explain it but one day him and I were working on a coloring project and he wouldn't stop making jokes, at first it was SO annoying but after a while it started to grow on me. After that I paid a lot more attention to him in class, at first it was listening to him more, and then I slowly started to stare at him and his shaggy, jet black hair with streaks of golden blond and brown running through. His skin that was lightly tanned from all the time he spent outside. And those eyes! Each was so beautiful, one was a blue deeper than the sea, and the other was a red that made blood look pink in comparison. I can't stop watching him, he has no idea either. Mom has always said spying on people is rude, but I can't stop myself. I feel a NEED to talk with him, to walk with him, to be his... friend. That's it I have to talk to him, I want to be his friend, I NEED to be his friend. Here goes nothing…


Skye Pov

YAWNNNN. That was the best nap ever. Well I should head back to the building now. As I get-up I see something behind a tree, as I go over to check it out it moves in a blur away from me.

"Oh well, it was probably a wild rattata or something. T

hey are super scared of everything" I say dismissively, I head back to the school.


As the boy headed back into his own home his mother said something

"Alright, our numbers are on the fridge, don't go to the door, go to bed at 9:15, and DON'T give the baby-sitter any trouble."

"Yes mom," the boy said, not hiding his annoyance in the least. "You've said this for the past 3 days, AND the entire car ride."

"Oh, I'm sorry, I just want my little baby to be safe and sound is all." His mother cooed while pinching one of his cheeks.

"Yeah yeah, whatever." The boy groaned whilst rolling his eyes

"Watch your tone mister, you're four going on five, the sass isn't supposed to show-up for another 10 years." His mother said in a very scolding tone. How she managed to switch from caring too much to ready to bite your head-off so seamlessly had always amazed the boy.

The boy then quickly stood-up straight, out of reflex more than thought "Yes mom, sorry mom, won't happen again mom." His mother relaxed a bit as he said that, and the look was gone.

"Well alright then, behave yourself. Bye." She then drove off into the distance, Leaving the small boy alone in the driveway.

"Well then," the boy started fiendishly, while growing a look that matched his tone "How to make this FUN…"

A/N: Ok I don't have an excuse for why this was uploaded in chunks, School was getting in the way and I was always playing video games with my free time… sorry. To try and make it up the next chapter will have a lemon(whenever the hell THAT gets out)… yay?
