After I realized how crazy my new partner was, I ran over to help the poor, careless Eevee.
"AH!" Aika yelled as the Pangoro used Slash on her.
"Aika! Help the children!" I called using Thunder Wave on the Pangoro. I stopped paying attention to Aika and focused on the enemy. He was a little bigger than your average Pangoro. Although, either he was holding back, or he wasn't that strong, because he didn't seem to hurt Aika or the children that badly. Or at least as bad as it seemed he could.
"Thunderbolt!" I used the move at him and ran behind him. Then, I hit him as hard as I could with a Volt Tackle.
"Argh!" The Pangoro used Karate Chop on me as I hit him. The paralysis didn't last as long as I was hoping it would.
"Oh well." I sighed. I used Thunderbolt on him again, then dodged his Slash. Then, out of nowhere, an Eevee popped out of the ground with Dig and attacked the enemy.
"Aika!" I shouted, "what are you doing?"
"Don't worry! Let's get this stupid Pokemon!" Aika stated happily. I sighed and ran at the Pangoro with Volt Tackle, while Aika used Swift. It was unfortunate that Pangoro was part fighting type, but Aika seemed to be doing well. As the battle continued, I realized that Aika and I seemed more like an actual team. When we finally managed to beat the Pangoro, I smiled weakly over at Aika, and she smiled her usual big smile. I'm glad I decided to bring Aika along.
"Aika! Let's get out of here before he wakes up."
"Okay, this way!"
The children, who weren't seriously injured, guided us to their town. I guess it also helped that I happened to have some Oran berries on me.
"Pikachu, Eevee, what are your names?" the Ralts, Maria, asked us.
"I'm Minoru."
"And I, am the great Aika!"
"Wow! So you guys are like a rescue team, right?" Fine, the Cleffa, asked Aika.
"We're just travelers." I told them.
"Then they're adventures!" Emery, the Wynaut, exclaimed.
"Do you guys have a team name?" Maria asked shyly.
"A team name? No, but we should! What should our name be?" Aika asked excitedly. At this, they all started to think really hard.
"I don't think we need a team name..." I started, but no one was listening to me.
"Eevechu!" Fine exclaimed.
"No! That's a stupid name!" Emery yelled at Fine, while I just sighed at the stupid conversation the two were having.
"We don't need a team name! I didn't agree to this."
"How about team Star?" The Wynaut suggested.
"No, that's also stupid!"
"Not as stupid as yours!"
"What about team Flower!" Aika interrupted their argument.
"How about team Gold?" The Ralts asked shyly.
"That's not bad." The Wynaut and Cleffa agreed.
"That settles it!"
"Wait, Aika! I didn't agree to this!"
"Minoru! We're officially Team Gold!"
"Whatever..." I sighed/laughed, giving up. Do whatever you want, Aika. I have officially given up caring about the unimportant stuff. Or even the important matters at this point. Oh well, a team name or two doesn't really matter I guess. At least we're finally at the town. It turns out Fine wasn't from this town, but her mother would be here soon to pick her up. The kids made such a big deal out of the matter. I mean, we didn't do that much. All we did was beat up a Pangoro.
"Thank you for helping them!" A Gardevoir was thanking us, but I was only half listening. What was the Pangoro doing in the first place? Why didn't he take the Ralts, but he took the Wynaut? I sighed, we won't know unless we run into him again, and I really hope that doesn't happen.
"Hey! When is this Pikachu going to come back to Earth?" I awoke from my daydreaming to find an Eevee tail trying to tickle my nose.
"Hahaha," I moved her tail out of the way, "I'm not ticklish. What do you want?"
"Aw! It would've been fun to tickle you! Oh well, she's going to show us around town. Let's go!" I follow Aika and the Gardevoir. After showing us around town, the Gardevoir, whose name was Suri, gave us 300p. We parted ways and Aika and I went over to the store.
"We should do some of those jobs on that board thing Suri showed us." Aika jumped over to me.
"We can later. And if we don't get to it in this town, we can do it in another town. They're in most towns, so we don't have to worry."
"Where are we going next?"
"I'd say we get a map of this region and stock up on supplies."
"Okay. I'll race you to that store!"
"Hold on!"
"Ready. Set...GO!" Not listening to me, she ran off, and I dashed after her. Despite being behind at first, I won. We bought some things and we went to an inn. The Gardevoir gave us some extra money to spend the night here.
The next day, Aika and I left the town and went into Mist Cave. It got that name for the mist that would appear occasionally. Thankfully, it was clear at the moment. As we were walking, I noticed it was really quiet. Way too quiet. Well, there's nothing I can do about it I guess.
"Hey, Aika, are you okay?" The Eevee seemed really tired already, and we haven't been walking for that long.
"I'm fine," she answered weakly, "it's just really hot in here."
"Yea, it is getting hotter. It doesn't help that you have such long fur." How did I not notice the heat sooner? I guess it was because Pikachu has shorter fur than Eevee. Just then, it started to get misty, so I grabbed Aika's fluffy collar so that we wouldn't get separated. Okay, I'll admit it, it was so Aika wouldn't get herself lost. She could be careless at times it seems. Suddenly, we were hit by an Ember! We fell to the ground, and I stood up and tried to look around, but couldn't see a thing. At least I could see a figure of Aika, but she seemed to be struggling to get up. I used Thunderbolt randomly, hoping I would get our attacker. No such luck, because the next thing I know, I have another Ember to the face. This Pokemon was such a cowardly fighter!
"Come out and face me!" I shouted, but got another Ember. I used Thunderbolt in the direction of the attack. I couldn't tell if I hit it or not, but with my luck, probably not. I heard the Pokemon trip over a rock, so I used Thunderbolt in that direction. At least I was getting better at fighting in these conditions. I noticed Swift being used, and saw Aika was up and staring past the fog.
"I last saw him over here." I said pointing in the direction.
"It was over there," she said nodding in the direction her attack had gone, "but now..." She looks around and uses Swift behind her, and I follow with a Thunderbolt. I hear a faint sound of pain, so I guess that means we hit it. I look over at what I can see of Aika and wonder how she knew where the Pokemon was. There was much mystery behind the girl, she could be more powerful than she seems.
Thanks for reading! How did you like this chapter? I tried to make it longer than last time.
SunnySummer77:Well... Welcome to the writing world. I'm SunnySummer77, I would like to congratulate you on tour first review ever! :)
You are new, but this is nothing to fear, you'll get good at this soon. I just like to poke or nudge the author to A. Update and B. Write better. (Although I really am in no position to do either as my own writing needs to be polished. ;
But either way, I must give tips...the first being intro to characters. I recommend doing this a few times and then as the chapters continue it can be dropped. I personally forget what species they are so for that I apologize. I also recommend longer chapter, but this is also a matter of time and really isn't a problem. :)
And finally, I believe you did a great job, while I have seen this myself I would like to see how tour story differs from others. This also includes character and their development. Which reminds me...give them flaws...that's not a problem yet either but... *shrugs shoulders* whatever.
Keep up the great work, use art as your inspiration and have a great time. :)
Thank you! I'm glad to be here. I plan to update as much as possible! I'm aiming for least four times a week, but it depends on how much homework I get in the end (I'm in high school still). I'm trying to write as best I can, but it still will have it's flaws for now. I tried doing the intro to the characters better in this chapter. Is it too much, not enough, or good? Don't worry, I should have noticed I didn't say their species enough. I tried to make this chapter longer this time, and I'll try to make it even longer next time! I have some plans for the characters and their flaws and such. Thank you for your review! :)
Please review to tell me how I did, thank you!
