Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon. Well, actually, I do own the Pokemon game I'm currently playing ^_^, but just not every PKMN game ^_^ Oooh, I have PKMN Ruby too ^_^ But I HATE how Skitty uses Sing and I can't do anything for 10 turns!
Oh yeah, I was banned from the computer for nearly a week, then I was sorta sick, so sorry for the late update.
"Is this really a good idea, Jose?" I muttered nervously. I had used an action replay before, so I knew that if we got the wrong area to cheat-walk, then we would end up in a black void and the game freezes. I wasn't sure what would happen to us if the "game" froze.
"Of course not," Armelion scoffed before Jossie could say anything. "We'd get screwed."
I rolled my eyes. Armelion was usually very optimistic, so this new...development...was weird. Kevin and I were usually the pessimistic ones, raining down on everyone's parade.
"Does anyone remember the map area?" Kaatrina asked nervously.
"Nope!" I grinned cheerfully. "But I'm pretty sure that this'll lead us back to Twinleaf Town!"
"Great. If you're sure, then that means we're going the wrong way," Kev muttered. Everyone nodded in agreement. Every single one of us knew my terrible sense of direction. I couldn't be trusted to find my way from Point A to Point B on coordinate plane...
"Oh shut up, asshole!" I growled. I forgot how annoying he could be for a moment. "It's not my fault that - fuck." I cursed as my leg got caught under a system of tree roots. "Fucking shit from hell and back..." I tugged at my foot, trying to rip it out by force. It failed, so I had to gently maneuver my leg so that it could slip out.
"Fuck," I cursed yet again, this time because of the long cut I had on my leg from the tree. The gash started from a little bit under my knee to a little before my boot, which was about one-fourths to my knee. Not very deep though.
"Stop cursing! And are you all right?" Kat asked curiously.
I rolled my eyes. I could be dying, and Kaatrina would only worry about my cursing problems.
"I'm fine." I stood up, proving the fact that I really was fine. "Let's keep going. I don't like forests." I stuck my tongue out to the nearest tree. Ahem, nearest trees. We were surrounded by trees, grass shrubs, more trees, grass, more trees, stray branches, even more trees, and trees. AKA we were in a deadly jungle-y forest-y scene. I can tell why the game stops you from entering the forest areas now.
After my little accident, everyone was more careful and paid more attention to the ground. Kaatrina kept walking beside me, making sure that I wasn't stranded out by myself. Hell, even with a fucked-up leg, I could survive in the wild longer than she can. But I liked the company, so I didn't mind much.
After a few more minutes of silent trekking, my leg was no better. In fact, it was worse. "G'dammit..." I leaned over to check on my leg. It was bleeding openly from all the walking I had done.
"Are you okay?" Jossie turned around to check on me. She and Armelion were leading the group, so she had to stop and go back to get to Kaatrina and me. Kevin took the middle area, so he was relatively in the middle of us. He had turned around too, upon hearing my curse.
"No, I don't think I'm okay." I peered at the wound and wiped some blood off. More blood cells flooded out of the open cut. "I think I should've bind it a long time ago. Now it's worse. Shitty shit shit shit."
Jossie rummaged through her bag (all of us had a backpack/bag thingy) and took out a wad of cloth.
"Here, use it to stop the bleeding for now." She passed it to Kat, who used it to staunch (AN: I don't know what "staunch" means, but I think it means to slow down, or stop :\) the bleeding a bit.
"Thanks guys." I stood up and tied it around my leg, cutting of the circulation from my upper leg and my lower leg. That way, it'll stop bleeding for a while, but it'll be dangerous if it's not treated in a while. Yes, I have some knowledge about this kinda stuff, courtesy of my interest in adventure books. In most of them, there are stuff about this, kinda like street logic?
After eons of walking, we finally got through the forest. And what did we see but...Twinleaf Town! Either this was a really long shortcut, or a really short long-cut. Take your pick.
"I think we would've been faster had we actually went where we're supposed to go," Armelion stated. All of us were laced with minor cuts and scrapes from all the branches of the trees.
"Agreed," Kevin replied. Out of all of us, he and Kat were least harmed, him because of his dexterity, Kat because of her size. Like I mentioned before, Kat is half a head shorter than me.
"Let's go back to our homes," Kaatrina suggested. "After all, we were supposed to tell our parents that we need to go on a mission for Prof. Rowan. And we can't keep Lucas waiting out there in the tall grass forever."
"Mm-hmm..." I nodded. "Let's meet up at my house tomorrow morning, eight fifty?"
Everyone nodded, and we left to each of our homes.
"Hey, mom, guess what?" I charged into the house, leaving dirt in my wake. "Prof. Rowan sent all of us - Kat, Arm, Jose, Kev, and me - on this really important mission for him!" I took off my boots and untied the cloth on my leg. I then made my way over to the treatment kit thingy in the house, but first washed my cut clean.
"Really?" My mom made her way over from the kitchen to me. "He asked you to do something that important?"
"Yup!" I paused to wince a bit as I put on the antiseptic (AN: spelling?) on the cut. "We're heading out tomorrow morning!"
My mom nodded quickly. "Will you be okay?"
"Of course!" I scoffed. "I'll be fine!" I took out a roll of cotton and tape-like thingy, then banded it to my leg, ripping it off with my teeth. "We're going to be meeting here tomorrow morning, mmkay?"
"Alright, just don't get in trouble when you guys are traveling!" She started humming cheerfully to herself as she went to prepare dinner. That's my mom! Never a worrier! Well, unless it involves doing something by myself. If I'm in a group, then almost anything's alright by her.
"Thanks mom!" I went upstairs to change and get ready for what tomorrow will bring.
"Hey, sleepyhead!" My mom's voice interrupted my awesome and peaceful sleep. "One of your friends is here!" (AN: Yes, that's correct grammar, don't even THINK of messing with me in this area.)
"Hm? Why?" I temporarily forgot that everyone was coming over to my house. "Oh wait, never mind, I'm coming!" I lazily got out of bed and checked the clock. It was still 8:45 A.M. Who wakes up this early on non-school days? And since we're in a game, I guess we never go to school? Yay. But I was pretty sure I knew who it was.
I grunted as I hopped out of bed, the sudden cold biting at my skin. Once again I was reminded that it's winter right now.
I went over to the closet and pulled out a fresh change of clothes, slightly tripping over nothing as I did so.
"Good job," I muttered to myself. "Pro ninja skills, right there." I took off my pajamas and pulled on a tight, black, short-sleeved t-shirt. Then I put a sweater over it, then a grey hoodie, then changed my pants to comfortable jeans. Which means they're not super tight; they're saggy, but not so saggy that you can see my ass.
I hummed to myself as I made my way down the stairs. Breakfast, which was bacon, hash browns, milk, and chocolate pudding, was already on the table, just waiting to be eaten.
Kevin was down there too, giving me his usual glare. It was always no contact, or a random glare thrown out nowadays. And it's been so long since he last glared at me, I couldn't help grinning. Whenever he glares, he looks like Gaara from Naruto. He gets this black eyeshadow-y thing, and it looks so much like Gaara that I just can't help laughing as well.
I made myself comfortable and started eating my breakfast silently, ignoring him. He didn't make any small talk either, just sat in a chair staring at me eat. Do you know that awkward feeling you get when everyone's staring at you? Yup, I had it right now.
"What?" I paused between bites of bacon to talk to him. "You're distracting me."
He just kept staring some more. "How is this distracting?"
"Argh, dammit," I growled. I could feel his glare even more now, even more intense now that he knew that he was pissing me off.
I gave up trying to tell him to fuck off after a couple more tries, and instead focused on my food, chewing it as quickly as possible. When I finished my breakfast, no one else had arrived yet. What was wrong with them, were they trying to make this situation more awkward than it already was? Knowing them, probably...
"Okay, so what do you want?" I turned to Kevin. "What are you guys planning?"
He pretend not to know what I was talking about, putting on a mask of total confusion. "What?"
I sighed. "Armelion and you are the most on-time people I know." That explained everything I was thinking, in a nutshell. "So what do you want?"
Kevin sighed. "I'm sorry, okay? After you left, Kaatrina told me everything, like how much I was hurting you. I didn't mean to, but..." Instead of turning to not face me, he glared at me head-on. "Alright?"
I shrugged. I acted as if half-speech hadn't affected me at all. "So? What do you want me to do about it?"
He raised his hands up in exasperation. "I don't know! Kat told me apologize!"
I growled. "So that apology wasn't even real? G'dammit! Don't play with my feelings!" I rolled my eyes up at the ceiling. Good job starting my day with crap.
Nothing eventful here...I have to put this up today, cuz I'm doing my science notes tomorrow and I won't be able to update next week :'( (too much weekend homework!) Sorry for the shortness.
And yes, I know, Kevin would NEVER do that in real life. Haha, don't tell him anything~
