"At least we never have to see that douchebag again." Ryan said as they left the Gym.
"That's not very nice, how's your Gym doing Ryan?" Jordyn joked.
"Hey! You just remember who's paying for the Pokemon Centre tonight."
"It's free."
"Exactly, me, that's who."
Jordyn sighed as she walked ahead of Ryan, Pachirisu ran behind her and jumped on her shoulder, he seemed to be taking a liking to her more than Ryan really, of course Pachirisu trusted Ryan, he listened, but he and Jordyn seemed to be making a real connection like you would see between a trainer and Pokemon. It wasn't a problem of course, in fact for Jordyn, it was an advantage if anything, she had always shown an ability to connect with Pokemon very quickly, she would always play with the Pokemon on Route 101 before she could leave for her journey. It would certainly help her catch Pokemon now that she was finally on her journey.
The couple began to reach the Pokemon centre just as it was beginning to get dark. Places were beginning to close for the night leaving nothing to do, though rest was looking more and more appealing after such a long day. The journey had already been more eventful than Ryan had expected, he wasn't expecting to have two Pokemon already, he wasn't interested in catching every Pokemon out there, he was more inclined to catch only the ones he wanted to use, after all, what's the point in having a Pokemon and it just being kept in a PC? So he decided to catch only what he would like to use, even made something of a shortlist before his journey started. You would find all the usual suspects on his list, Charizard, Blastoise, Gyrados. But the. There was some less common ones too, Alakazam, Pyroar and maybe even a Raichu.
The couple had finally reached the Pokemon Centre, by this time all of the lights had been turned on making it look like some sort of beacon. It lit up the city and apparently could be seen from miles away. Inside it looked even better under the lights, you couldn't even tell it was dark outside because of how well lit the centre was. The couple reached the counter where Nurse Joy was waiting with that same smile on her face.
"You must be ready for your room now?"
"Definitely."
"I will lead you straight there then, follow me and don't get lost."
Ryan and Jordyn stayed close behind Nurse Joy as she gave them somewhat of a tour along the route towards the bedroom, she was clearly very proud of her centre and why not, it was better than most peoples houses, usually theyre just little buildings tucked away in the backgrounds of huge cities. NurseJoy led them past a few rooms on what must have been the 5th floor of the building before they finally reached a room.
"This will be your room for the night." She stated as she opened the door.
The room was incredible, the walls were a spotless white except for one wall where the beds lay against, that was a deep shade of red. The wall opposite the door was glass, leaving them a great view, and the bed, it was huge, with mainly white sheets, though there was a purple band across the bed towards the bottom. There was a flat screen 40" TV attached to the wall opposite of the bed.
"You did want to share a room, you werent expecting separate rooms?" Nurse Joy asked.
Ryan and Jordyn replied simultaneously. "Yes." From Ryan. "No." From Jordyn. Before looking at each other. They then switched answers again simultaneously, Ryan saying no and Jordyn with yes. There was a silence after this, the space between the 3 filled with pure awkwardness. Ryan added a final yes as Joy handed over the keys, she wasn't the only one who eanted to leave out of embarrassment, that's for sure.
"I'm going in the shower." Jordyn said as she pushed past Ryan and hid in the bathroom, Ryan laughed as he shut the door and threw his bag down. He kicked his shoes off before jumping on the bed and lying down with his hands behind his head. He examined the room for a moment, looking at the TV, then the bedside cabinet which had a small tray on which could be found the ingredients for tea and coffee… A strange choice at this time but never mind. Then to the windows, he was about to go to look out when Jordyn emerged from the shower in a white bath robe. He looked at her before jumping up from the bed.
"You cleaned up in there?" He asked.
She didn't even respond, she usually didn't when he asked what she considered to be a silly question. He walked past Jordyn and jumped in to the shower. Jordyn seemed to continue on from what Ryan was going to do, she walked towards the windows and stood looking through. Because of the side they were on, the view pointed back towards Orburn Town… Home.
After a shile Ryan got out of the shower and left the room in a matching white robe, Jordyn was still looking out of the window with her left hand pressed against it, she didn't even notice him coming out of the bathroom. Ryan walked around before putting his arms round her waist and resting his chin against her shoulder.
"It's a great view isnt it." He asked.
She just smiled and nodded as she pressed her head against his and held his hands. Only a moment passed, or maybe it was 10 minutes, they just looked out at the great view as they held each other, there was no bickering, there were no punches, no disturbances at all. Just blissful peace. Jordyn's hand left Ryan's so she could rub her eyes, she was clearly tired.
"Come on then, maybe we should get some sleep." Ryan said.
She agreed before she left Ryan's grasp and shuffled towards the bed. She slipped off her robe to reveal a pair of shorts and a small tank top, before finally falling in to the bed.
"Come on Ryan, I need a cuddle." She said with her arms in the air.
He followed her in to the bed before she rested her head against his chest and within moments, was asleep. Ryan stroked her hair for a minute or so before he too was asleep.
The next morning was incredibly bright and warm… Though not that Ryan knew, he was still asleep. Jordyn had already been up, gotten ready, had breakfast downstairs, and walked back upstairs while Ryan was still sleeping. She shook him and shouted at him to wake up. He obliged… Almost, waking for a moment to look up at her, before turning over and going back to sleep. This annoyed Jordyn, causing her to punch that arm once again, same place as usual. Never failed to hit that same place.
"We've got to go Ryan, we have to get to Morhedge Town."
"Can we not just stay here for like… Ever?"
Jordyn threw a pillow at Ryan before toling him to get up.
"I'll be in the lobby waiting."
With that, Jordyn left leaving Ryan lying on the bed. 'Shes a little different from last night', he thought to himself. He continued to think to himself as he got ready. 'Shame really, I quite enjoyed last night'. He grabbed a Poke ball when he was ready.
"Come on out Pachirisu."
Pachirisu emerged from his Poke ball and immediately ran over to Ryan before jumping on his arm then climbing up it, before finally settling on his head.
"Sorry I couldn't let you out last night pal. Me and Jordyn had a… Moment."
Pachirisu didn't seem too bothered about not being let out, there was a good chance he was already asleep in his Poke ball anyways. They left the room, picking up his bag and closing the door as they did, they left it a mess, but… Maids…. Right?
When they reached the lobby Jordyn was standing at the counter with her arms crossed, she looked frustrated. Ryan looked at his watch, I mean, they were only… An hour late… Whoops.
"Can we go now?" Jordyn asked with annoyance on her voice.
"Sorry." Ryan replied with remorse.
Jordyn walked ahead of Ryan trying to make up some time. It was pointless, but, she was clearly annoyed. They made their way through the city and finally reached Route 102. They took their first steps on it before a conversations sparked up.
"Are you okay?" Ryan asked.
She sighed before answering, though her answer was just a simple 'mhmm.'
Ryan caught up a little and grabbed her arm.
"What's wrong Jordyn. This can't just be because I was a little late in waking up."
"A little late? You were an hour late!" She snapped.
"I know you Jordyn. It takes a lot to get you annoyed, this isn't just about me being late."
"You want to know why…"
Jordyn was cut off by another voice, this seemed to be a quite high pitched voice, child like. The couple turned to look in to the tree line in the general direction of the voice. 'Stop fighting.' It called out. From the trees emerged a small black Pokemon with red accents. Ryan looked at Jordyn before taking out his Pokedex.
'Zorua, the Dark type Pokemon. To protect themselves from danger, they hide their true identities by transforming in to people and Pokemon.'
"Wow, it can change it's shape. That's awesome."
Almost on cue, Zorua jumped in to the air, changing in to a purple ball before reforming in to Jordyn. Ryan and Jordyn stepped forward in amazement, examining the likeness.
"I have to have this." Ryan said.
"You couldn't beat me." Zorua said before giggling menacingly.
"Wow, this one has some fight in it too. Go! Pachirisu!"
Pachirisu jumped from Ryan's head to land in between him and Zorua. Zorua leapt to the air, returning to that purple state and then revealing himself as a Pachirisu. The change confused Pachirisu, he had never seen such an action.
"Don't worry Pachirisu, it's just an illusion, take him out anyways. Thundershock."
Pachirisu began storing energy, his cheeks sparked and he lifted his tail. He finally discharged the attack from his tail which hit Zorua. It knocked the Zorua back and the illusion faded revealing his normal form.
"That's it Pachirisu, keep going, hit it with a Quick Attack!"
Pachirisu began to run at the grounded Zorua as he made every attempt to struggle back to his feet but the task was impossible in the short time Pachirisu had afforded him. The second attack hit knocking the wild Zorua even further backwards, this time, landing closer to the bushes at the edges of the dirt path.
"Sorry Zorua." Ryan called as he threw a Poke ball at the fainted Pokemon.
Zorua changed in to the red energy released by the Poke ball before being drawn in to the Poke ball. It shook once… Twice… Three times, and stopped, then the button flashed indicating a successful capture.
"I got it! A Zorua, that's so cool!"
"Well done." Jordyn added as she walked over to the Poke ball and picked it up.
"We should probably heal what injuries we can before we continue. Come on out Zorua." Jordyn threw the Poke ball directly up in to the air and a white flash soon formed in to a Zorua.
"Sorry I had to hurt you Zorua." Ryan said.
"Hmph." The Zorua turned away in annoyance at Ryan and looked at Jordyn who was rummaging about in her bag.
"What are you doing?" Zorua asked.
"We have potions and things that can heal you."
She took a potion out of her bag and sprayed it on Zorua's leg. The Pokemon hissed at the immediate contact, but was calmed by Jordyn as she continued to talk to the Pokemon, reassuring it. After a few moments, the Zorua was in no pain.
"Probably a good idea to get some food right about now?" Ryan asked
"My Pokemon and I already ate, though you slept in so yours wont have, youre lucky my new friend here agrees with me." Jordyn joked.
