Hey there readers. I guess I waited a little long to start the generic writer/reader natter, but hey. Let me know if you're liking the story so far. If you've got any ideas you wanna see or even a character you want put in my story, hit me up, but for now. Enjoy!
"Your Pokemon are ready." Nurse Joy called out as she opened the doors to her operating rooms. "Pachirisu never left Torchic's side." She added with a smile.
Pachirisu ran out of the operating rooms and jumped on to the bench Ryan and Jordyn were sitting at. Torchic seemed less willing to move, still visibly upset at his former trainer. Ryan moved from his seat on the bench, to take a seat on the floor.
"Listen Torchic, I know you're upset, and probably angry too." Torchic looked at him. "But I don't want to use you just to get powerful, that's not what being a trainer is about. You can come with me if you like, as my friend, not my Pokemon. If you don't want to come though, I'll have to leave you here, Nurse Joy will send you to Professor Pender, I don't know what will happen from there."
Torchic continued to look at the ground, not seeming to budge, no change of expression challenged it's current look. It seemed to have made up it's mind. Even when Pokemon are treated badly, they still try to follow their trainer.
"I'm sorry you feel that way Torchic. Maybe we will meet again if you find another trainer."
Ryan took the Torchic in his arms and handed it to Nurse Joy. She looked saddened that the Torchic didn't want to travel, though, they all did. Ryan and Jordyn turned away from the Torchic and began to walk out of the centre. Pachirisu climbed up Ryan's arm then on to his head before looking back at Torchic and letting out a cry. Torchic finally made a noise, he seemed to tweet in reply to Pachirisu. Pachirisu jumped from Ryan's head and ran towards Nurse Joy, Torchic jumped out of her arms and they met in between the trio. They began to chatter, Pachirisu seemed to be trying to convince Torchic. Ryan, Jordyn & Joy watched on as the Pokemon continued to talk, Torchic seemed to be changing his mind every minute, one minute he started to walk towards Pachirisu, but the next he was backing away. Finally they stopped chattering at each other, and Pachirisu seemed saddened, it seemed Torchic was done. Pachirisu slowly turned around and began to crawl back to the couple. It suddenly felt a squeeze on it's tail. Looking round, Torchic was tweeting and had bitten Pachirisu's tail playfully. Pachirisu and Torchic began chasing each other around the Pokemon Centre as Jordyn giggled.
"Looks like you have a new Pokemon then Ryan." She said.
"I sure do!"
He took out his Pokedex to get more information.
Torchic, the Fire type Pokemon. This Pokemon breathes fire of over 1800 Degrees F, including fireballs that leave the foe scorched black.
"Awesome! Right guys. We have a Gym to beat, and I wanna beat him today, so lets go."
Pachirisu and Torchic stopped playing and ran back to Ryan.
"I'm going to have to put you in here for now Torchic, okay?" Ryan said as he showed Torchic a Poke ball he had taken from his bag.
Torchic seemed to have no reservations, so Ryan called for a return, Torchic merged in to the red energy before disappearing in to the Poke ball. It nudged once or twice, but there was no problem.
"Come on then, I wanna beat this guy."
Ryan and Jordyn ran to the Gym hoping to reach it before it closed, they still had around an hour left but they weren't sure. They reached the doors which slid open to let them through and quickly made their way to the battlefield where Sid was waiting.
"You ready to lose again?" He shouted at Ryan.
"You've got a big mouth, I'm going to earn this win, I won't have my sucess bought for me!"
Claims like this clearly got to Sid, as true as they were, he didn't like them. He clearly knew they were true otherwise the claims wouldn't have gotten to him so much.
"I'm gunna show you exactly why I deserve to be here you little punk. Go! Bulbasaur!"
"Go! Torchic!"
"Bulb await, use Vine Whip!"
Green vines shot from Bulbasaurs mid-section straight towards Torchic who had no time to move. They wrapped around Torchic and threw im cross the room, only narrowly missing Jordyn before hitting the wall next to her.
"Come on Torchic, you can beat this guy."
Torchic struggld back back to his feet still able to battle.
"Alright Torchic, it's our turn. Ember!"
Torchic let out a cry before firing out a barrage of tiny fireballs at Bulbasaur. They made a connection, and a good one at that.
"Follow it up with Peck!"
Torchic ran towards Bulbasaur as his beak began to glow white and enlarge. Bulbasaur was just getting bacon to feet when he was hit with the vicious attack. Throwing him backwards towards Sid.
"Okay okay, you win!" Sid announced.
Sid recalled his beaten Bulbasaur back in to it's Poke ball before revealing his Gym's badge. It resembled a leaf rather fittingly enough though one with gold outlines. Just another way of showing off how rich his father is really. He handed over the badge before ushering the couple out of his Gym with the request that they don't return. Bitter perhaps?
