Chapter 2

Flirts and Fights

Pichu and I pulled up into Cherrygrove City. I looked behind me, not seeing any sign of the obnoxious Ricky on our tail. I got off the bike, sighing a sigh of relief. I knew that I wouldn't lose him for long, but I might as well take the chance to have some alone time to get to know my new pokemon.

Taking off my helmet I picked up Pichu from the cup holder he sat in. "Are you ready to meet our new friend?"

"Pi-chu!" He beamed, putting his goggles on his head.

I took out the pokeball that I put in Raticate's place, throwing it on the ground. Out came the fire mouse pokemon. Pichu immediately jumped from my shoulder, sniffing around on the ground at the pokemon.

"Quil!" The cyndaquil called out, running scared behind my leg. When he did he looked up to me. "Quil!" He cried again, this time running to hide behind a rock.

"Pi?" Pichu looked at it curiously, inching his way towards the new pokemon.

Cyndaquil hid behind the rock, every inch Pichu grew closer the flames on his back rose. "Quil!" It screamed, shooting out an ember attack that barely missed Pichu.

Pichu's cheeks lit up with electricity, "Pichu!" He was covered in a swarm of electricity as it charged at the mouse.

"Alright!" I said, walking over to pick up Pichu, who shocked me in retaliation. "Pichu, stop!" I held him back, looking into his eyes as they filled with tears. I know the little guy didn't mean to shock me, but still this was getting a little bit out of control. Putting him on my shoulder I looked to Cyndaquil on the ground, who was still fired up. "Cyndaquil, you don't need to be afraid." I said, squatting down to his level. "I know that at first it can be a little scary joining a party, but trust me, you will love all of my pokemon." I gave him a smile as he looked at me with doubt. "Well, bud, you don't need to take my word for it." I said, rising up. "Instead would you like to talk to my other fire pokemon?" I pushed the button on the pokeball around my neck as Arcanine hopped out.

"Arf!" Arcanine barked happily.

Strange enough as it seemed, Cyndaquil came out, peeking around the rock at Arcanine who walked right up to the little mouse. "Quil?" He tilted his head oddly.
"Arf!" Arcanine licked the mouse playfully, making him laugh.

"Quil, Quil, Quil!"

They both played there for a while, hopping around. It actually looked pretty funny to watch, a massive dog monster like Arcanine hopping around on the ground playing with something as small as a Cyndaquil. I couldn't help but chuckle watching them play as a Dodrio came up behind me.

"Gosh, how fast does that thing go?" Ricky asked, hopping off of his three-headed bird pokemon. "We ran full speed and still couldn't keep up with you!"

"Really?" I asked, watching him recall his pokemon. "And here I thought I was giving you a little give, I didn't even take it out of second gear."

"You're full of crap!" He yelled, walking up behind me. "There is nothing around that can go that fast without maxing out."

"Okay Arcanine, come here boy!" I called out, ignoring Ricky. Arcanine bent down, letting Cyndaquil craw on his back as he ran towards us. When he got closer he kneeled down, letting me pick Cyndaquil off his back. "If it makes you feel any better," I said, looking at Cyndaquil. "I will let you hang around with Arcanine some more."

"Quil! Quil!" He squeaked, turning to look back at Arcanine as I recalled them both, putting Cyndaquil's ball back on my belt.

"So why did you do that?" Ricky asked as I turned to face him.

"Do what?" I asked, with Pichu tilting his head sidewise to look at him.

"Why did you just jump on the bike and leave?"

I didn't say anything, just walked on by him, heading to the across the street from where we were.

"Well, are you going to say anything?"

"Ricky," I finally said. "I have had a really rough day, could you please just lay off?"

I heard him huff as we walking into the food joint. He didn't talk much after that, which was good because it gave me the chance to think things out.

* * *

We walked to the pokecenter after that, maybe I was just being hopeful, but I had to know if they found anything on Raticate. Ricky walked in behind me as I went to the P.C. system in the corner of the room. I watched in the corner of my eye as he followed right behind me the whole way, even when I went to log in my information and password. I stopped waiting on him to back off, but he didn't.

"Hey Rick," I said, turning around. "Could you go get me a coffee from Nurse Joy?"

"Oh, yeah, sure." He said, walking away.

I rolled my eyes. I'm sure that he didn't mean any harm, that he was just a stupid guy, but still I didn't want anyone knowing my information or pokemon stats. I logged on while he was talking to the nurse. No new mail about Raticate, but there were a few pokemon that were missing. Articuno was gone, but that was to be expected, I'm guessing that if I ever wanted to take it out I would have to email my mother a request to do so. Pidgeot and Umbreon were also gone, I would guess that they were being 'observed' as well. "Oh well," I sighed. I really wanted to take Umbreon out and give him some time to stretch, but I guess I can wait till next time. Kabuto on the other hand was still available, and he needs some training, badly. I could start training him and Cyndaquil together, which would keep their levels about the same and also give them both sparing partners. But, I thought, I would have to deposit one. On the bike's GPS I don't remember seeing any water or lakes for a while that I would need to cross, so I guess I could leave Gyarados behind for now. Though he is strong, he is almost useless on land. I pulled out his pokeball, putting it on the deposit tray. I plugged in my information once more, and then the ball vanished into thin air. A light lit up on the screen showing that Gyarados was properly transferred to the P.C. system. Well now, lets see. I haven't had a lot of time to spend with Beedrill, so I'd like to get him back. I guess I wont need Dragonite for a while, so I'll deposit her too. I reached for her ball, placing it on the transfer unit. After that I selected Kabuto, plugged in my password and information again, withdrew him, and did the same thing for Beedrill. This was such a strange feeling, having so many pokemon that you want in your party and having to only pick six. It's hard.

I put the pokeballs on my belt, closing out of the system and logging off. I turned around, expecting to see Ricky, but instead he wasn't around. "That's odd," I said, looking around. "He should be right here, well, I guess he should be, seeing as how he has been hanging around me like a lost puppy."

"You perv!" I heard nurse joy scream.

I rolled my eyes, already knowing what was going on. I walked around the corner, seeing her and Ricky kissing deeply. I stopped, dead in my tracks. I didn't know what to say. I quickly took Pichu off my shoulder, who was watching the whole thing with wide eyes, not know what was going on. I stuck him in my book bag, making sure he didn't see any more of that.

Nurse Joy pushed away from the kiss, taking a deep breath. "Oh, your so…" She drug him in again, pulling him on her, kissing him like crazy.

I walked up to him, reaching up and grabbing his red shaggy hair. "What happened to my coffee, Romeo?"

The nurse stopped kissing him to look at me. "Is it true?" She asked, pushing Ricky away from her. "Are you really Kyle Gray, the pokemon master?" She hopped on the counter Ricky was sitting on, crawling towards me with her shirt unbuttoned. "Are you? Are you?"

"I… um." I just looked at her dumb founded, not knowing what to say, but knowing what to do. "Excuse me." I said, still gripping onto Ricky's hair as I drug him out of the center, him screaming the whole time.

When I got out of the center I threw him against the wall. "What was that? What the heck did you say to her? Why would you do that to a Nurse Joy?!"

"Well if you hadn't busted in I could have worked my way back into the back room with her." He said, grabbing his head. "And why the hell did you pull my hair?"

"Oh you poor little baby." I said, giving him a look of disgust. "And what did you tell her about me, anyway? She sure seemed to know a lot about me."

He smiled, standing up. "If you keep an attitude like that you will never get laid." He shrugged and started laughing. "I started off by saying I wanted a hot coffee, and then it turned into her being hot, I gave a few looks, touched her face, eye gazing, little whispering, showing off my badges, bragging about you, then it went from there to the counter, her boobs, and…"

"Okay!" I screamed. "I get it, I get it." I turned away, shaking my head. "If your going to pull crap like that don't mention me, and don't do it while I'm around."

"Why not?" He paused, then with some shock in his voice he said, "Your not … you know… are you?"

I turned around, shouting at him again. "So just because I have respect for women that automatically makes me-"

"Shhh!" He hushed, looking around to see all these old people looking at us. "Okay, fine, you're not, but keep it down your making a scene."

I turned, looking around to see a bunch of people standing stopped in their tracks looking at us. "Hmph." I huffed, reaching into my pocket to bring out the capsule for my bike and the item holder for my helmet; I was still wearing my gloves and jacket. I pushed both buttons, throwing them on the ground. When the smoke cleared I put on the helmet, taking Pichu out of my book bag, to stick him in his cup holder.

"Oh not that thing again." Ricky said, looking at the bike. "Are you going to let me drive this time?"

I raised the lid, sliding into the seat. "I bet you don't even have a license, pipsqueak, so how could you?" I started the bike, revving the engine and taking off up to the north. I saw in the side mirror that Ricky was on his Dodrio before I took off. The little twerp was still going to follow me, what a drag. But I guess I could have some fun losing him along the way.

I focused my sight on the navigation system under the radio, punching away at the touch screen. It looked like the closest town was Violet City, 67 miles away. With the current speed, the estimated arrival time would be thirty-eight minutes. "Well that wont do." I said, looking back to the road that was turning fast into nothing more than a blur. "At that speed I wont be able to have some time to train my pokemon without 'sex for brains' catching up." I looked down at Pichu, who was pretending to steer the bike from his cup holder. "Hang on little bud!" I said as I dropped the bike into fourth gear, speeding up. I looked back down to the navigation system, which now said the estimated time of arrival was reduced to twenty nine minutes. I looked back to the road, which was going by so fast I could barely see anything. Everything was blurred, and I was solely driving from the navigation system, hoping that the road map was up to date.

When the town was within 2 minutes away I slowed down, putting the bike back in third, then second, and then back to first. Even though we were cruising at 60mph, I felt like I was crawling. I guess the high speeds on the bike were messing with me, but at least Ricky wouldn't be bothering us for a long time. We pulled into the town, pulling to a stop outside of the pokecenter. Pichu hopped out first, taking off his goggles and unzipping his jacket. He looked around in awe at the new place he was at.

"Pi! Pi! Pi!" He cried out, running around my feet, playing in the small shrubs outside of the center. I didn't say anything, just laughed and put away my bike and helmet. When everything was put away I picked up the little mouse, who ran for my brown hair, nuzzling around in it. This town was rather large. In the north was a very tall tower that was surrounded by ponds on both sides. In west had a gym, pokemart, a line of apartments and a few fast food places. The south had a few little shops and some more houses, not to mention a large road leading out. And in the east entrance, where we were, there was a pokemart as well as pokemon academy, which was obvious from the large sign that said, "Best Academy of the Year!" that was ten years old.

"I would like to go ahead and get the badge here," I said to Pichu. "But I don't know anything about the leader, and three of my pokemon need some training." I picked Pichu off my head, giving him a smile.

He looked around, and then pulled one of little hands to his face. "Pi?" He asked.

I chuckled. "Yes, one of those three is you."

"Piiii-iii…" Pichu whined as he hung his head low.

"Oh come on now," I said, looking at him in the face. "Pichu, the pokemon that fought as one of the pokemon master's party in the Kanto League Championship and won doesn't want to train?"

Pichu looked down, then looked up, rolling his eyes. "Pi pi-chu."

I laughed, sitting him on the ground. "Thanks Pichu." I then reached for a pokeball on my belt. "Go Cyndaquil."

The mouse pokemon hopped out of his pokeball, facing Pichu. "Quil?" He raised up, looking around. He then turned to me. "Quil, Quil! Cynda-quil!"

I looked at him strangely, at first not understanding, but after a while it clicked with me. "Oh, you want Arcanine out?"

"Quil!" Cyndaquil squeaked.

"Okay then, but he's only going to watch." I pushed the button on the pokeball around my neck, releasing Arcanine, who sat beside me. "There Cyndaquil," I said. "Arcanine's out, but you still need to battle, you and Pichu need to train."

"Quil…" He sulked, looking back at Pichu.

"Alright you two," I said, walking between them. "Now, do exactly as I say and neither of you will get hurt in this exercise." I looked over to Cyndaquil first. "You need to trust me, and trust in my orders." I looked at Pichu. "And I need both of you to give it your all." I walked back away, noticing that Cyndaquils fire on its back wasn't lit. No matter though, as soon as the battle starts it will kick in. I walked to Arcanine, who was lying down on the ground. I hopped on his back, getting him to stand up. If Pichu or Cyndaquil get to into it they may not be able to control their powers, a lot of new pokemon are like that, so I need to be able to get away quick if that happens. "Okay." I said, having Arcanine walk around them. "You all ready?"

"Pi!" Pichu said, having little sparks fly from his cheeks.

"Cynda!" Cyndaquil squeaked, having a couple flames shoot out of his back, but obviously not all that he could.

"Alright." I said, getting ready for the quick orders I was about to order. "Pichu, gather electricity and use tackle. Cyndaquil dodge to your left."

Pichu shot a few little sparks out of his cheeks as it ran for Cyndaquil. I saw Pichu two times use a full fledge volt tackle, but that was when he was really mad, so I expected this time to only be enough to give a static shock, which it was. As Pichu got closer Cyndaquil jumped to the left, dodging.

"Good!" I called out. "Cyndaquil shoot some flames at Pichu. Pichu, jump in the air over Cyndaquil to dodge!"

Cyndaquils flames on his back went into full blast as it shot out a small ember attack at Pichu who jumped in the air to avoid the blast. The shot barely missed Pichu, but he did jump completely over it, landing a few feet away from Cyndaquil.

"Great job!" I called out, watching as a passerby came to watch. "Cyndaquil, that's called an Ember attack."

"Quil?" He questioned.

"Do you think you can shoot some more of those?"

"Quil!" He beamed happily.

"Okay, Pichu!"

"Pi?" He tilted his head, looking at me.

"You need to work on your speed, so your going to be dodging everything Cyndaquil throws at you."

"Quil, quil, quil!" Cyndaquil laughed.

"Hey," I said looking at him. "I wouldn't laugh, your going to be dodging Pichu's attacks next."

"Pi, i, i." Pichu chuckled.

"Alright, enough playing around." I said as I saw another person come to watch the battle. "Cyndaquil, shoot the smallest ember attacks you can as fast as you can at Pichu. Pichu, dodge by jumping with your legs, arms and tail."

"Pi?" He looked at me again tilting his head.

"Awww!" I head a girl say as she joined the growing crowd.

"You'll figure it out." I said, having Arcanine walk around in front of the people so they wouldn't get hurt. "Okay Cyndaquil, go!"

Cyndaquil started shooting off small slivers of fire at Pichu, who dodged them as fast as he could. I heard Arcanine chuckle in a few low woofs. I knew why he was laughing, he was remembering back when he was a pup, shooting those popcans the same way, building up his ember attack strong enough to make it a Flamethrower attack. I watched the battle, seeing Cyndaquil shooting flames faster and faster making Pichu jump more and more. A few came close, but none of them hit. Before long Pichu started moving so fast that it appeared like there were two of him, and then three.

"Okay, stop!" I said as Cyndaquil laid down on the ground, taking deep breaths, and the two of the three Pichus vanished, leaving only the one in the middle, he too, was out of breath. "That was really great you two." I said, hopping off of Arcanine, putting out a few embers that were on the ground. "Pichu, you learned Double Team!"

"Huff… Huff… Pi?" He tilted his head again, which once more made the girls around us awe.

"When you run really fast, like you were doing before, it appears like there were more than one of you, that's a Double Team."

"Piiiii!" Pichu nodded, with his eyes opened wide.

"Would you like to try it again?"

"Pichu!" He put up is paw as the crowd of girls cooed again.

"Okay, go!" With that Pichu ran as fast as he could around Cyndaquil, making it look like there were two of him, then three, and then four. "Alright Cyndaquil," I said, hopping back on Arcanine. "When an enemy is using a Double Team like that you can't trust your eyes." He looked at me confused. "Close your eyes, listen for his footsteps. Keep in mind that he is running in a circle around you." I saw him slowly close his eyes, listening closely. The group around us, now close to twenty people, kept silent, trying not to disturb us. "Once you're locked on to him, shoot an ember attack where you think he's going to be." I watched patiently as the flames on Cyndaquil's back lit up, and he shot a fire ball at one of the Pichus, striking him hard enough to throw him into one of the little girls behind him.

The girls all gasped as Pichu fell at their feet. "Pii-iii-ii-" He said, walking around dizzy.

"You poor little thing!" One of the girls said, bending down to pick him up. "You didn't get hurt did you?"

Pichu looked at the girl oddly, turning his head sideways. "Pi?"

Once again the girls squealed as he made cute little faces at them. I smiled, shaking my head. "That little mouse, what a lady-killer." I said under my breath. "Okay, Pichu, its your turn."

"Pi!" He called out, jumping out of the girl's hug, landing back down on the ground in front of Cyndaquil. "Now, Pichu, charge up with some static."

"Piiiiii…" Pichu said as he started to spark with electricity all around him.

"Good!" I said, watching him start to glow with little sparks all over him. "Now, hold out your hands and try to make the electricity gather in my palms." He stretched out his arms, as the sparks went from his body to concentrating in his hands. "Perfect! Now, try to throw it on the ground." With that Pichu pulled his hands closer to his body, then pushed them away fast, throwing the small ball of electric on the ground, where it fizzled out. "Great job, Pichu!" I called out. "That was an attack called a Thunder Shock."

Pichu just stood there speechless for a long time, looking at his hands like 'Did I just do that?'

"Alright Pichu, do you think you can do that like Cyndaquil did with his ember attack?"

Pichu looked at me, holding up both arms in the air and then thrusting them down to his chest. "Piiiiiii-Chu!" He said

"Alright great." I said looking at both of them. "When I say go, Pichu you as many of the smallest Thunder Shocks you can at Cyndaquil, and Cyndaquil it's your turn to dodge."

"Quil." Cyndaquil said, lighting the flames on his back once more.

"Alright." I looked to them both again. "Are you two ready?" When they both nodded I took a deep breath. "Go!"

Pichu started by charging up, letting little sparks fly out at Cyndaquil when he punched. The attacks were not strong enough to even reach Cyndaquil, who was still trying to dodge them. I didn't say anything, though, I mean, its not like it was a real battle or anything, they are still both learning. Besides, the small burst of attacks like this will help them learn how to control their powers better, get their aim dead on, and also let their power grow. Though it may not seem like much to them, a bunch of little attacks gets them to use more power without being tired verses using one massive attack that would leave them drained.

A few minutes into training I noticed Pichu wasn't using his hands to throw the electricity anymore, instead he was just holding his arms out in the direction he wanted it to go. "Nice going Pichu! You're doing great! Keep focusing your attacks just like you're doing!" I also noticed Cyndaquil pick up his speed. At first he was hardly able to jump off the ground, now he was jumping high in the air, landing on his front paw and jumping again. "You're doing great Cyndaquil, but you all should take it up a notch. Pichu, put a little more power into your shocks. Cyndaquil, try to run instead of jumping, you're better off on land."

With that Pichu turned up the juice, making the thunder shocks actually hit within the proximity of Cyndaquil. Cyndaquil, on the other hand, was having a much harder time dodging attacks that could actually reach him. At first he did nothing more but run away from the little shocks, but after a while he started to dodge them. He ran to the left, then to the right, running around Pichu in so many directions that Pichu actually got dizzy after a while.

"Piii-iii-ii!" He called out as he stumbled around dizzy.

"Quil, Quil, Quil," Cyndaquil panted as he slowed down.

I hopped off Arcanine, walking up to the two, knelling down to their level. "You all did really great today, I'm very proud of you." I smiled at them, rubbing them both on the head. "You two deserve a rest." I put Pichu on my shoulder, and picked Cyndaquil up in my arms. When I turned around I saw that the crowd had turned into about 30 – 40 people, who were all clapping and cheering.

"That was so cool!" One of the kids said.
"I want to be just like you when I grow up!" A little boy said.

"Very nicely done young man." An elderly person said.

"Well, thank you all," I said, as the three of us rubbed our heads. "But I didn't do anything, it was my friends who did."

"You're so cool!" One of the little boys said when he ran up to me with a pokeball and a marker. "Can I have your autograph?" He held up his pokeball.

"Umm… I guess so…" I can honestly say I had never had a person ask me that, but, oh well.

"Thanks so much!" The boy said as one of the girls that was all over Pichu ran up to me.

"Can I have your number?" She asked, giving me a pen while she twisted her butt in one of those slutty looking school outfits.

"No, but you can have mine." I heard Ricky say, shoving me out of the way. "This is my friend, Kyle Gray, you know, the pokemon master?"

Everyone in the crowd went silent.

"Its true!" He said, wrapping his arm around the girl that asked for my number. "And if you want," He rubbed one finger under the girl's chin. "I can tell you more." He moved in closer, putting his lips only inches away from hers, whispering ever so softly. "That is, if you want to get to know me better."

A tall guy from the crowd, probably in his late thirties, walked up to Ricky, Grabbing him by the hair and holding him up off the ground. "Ahhh!" He screamed. "What is it with the hair today!?!"

Part of me wanted to leave, being around all these people made me feel uncomfortable, but at the same time I really wanted to see Ricky get his just desserts.

"What do you think your doing to my daughter!?" The man yelled through his thick beard.

"Daddy, please!" The girl jumped up and down. "He was just being nice, please daddy, don't beat up this boy too!"

"Hmph." I smiled, hopping on the back of Arcanine, watching as the focus of the crowd went from me to Ricky. "My, my, I don't know who's going to love this more, me, or the father."

"Ahh, not the hair! What do you mean 'too'?" Ricky asked.

The girl sighed. "The last two boys that kissed me left with two black eyes and some broken ribs."

I heard Ricky gulp. He turned around to look at me. "Kyle, aren't you going to help?"

"What? What's that?" I yelled, knowing full well what he said. "I'm sorry, I can't hear you over your womanizing."

"That's it punk!" The man said, raising up his free hand to form it into a fist that was drawn back. "Lights out!"

"Weeeeaaaarrrrroooo!" The police sirens went off, which made all the people scatter like scared rats. The father, however, kept his fist drawn back, looking back and forth at the approaching cops and the boy who tried to put the moves on his daughter.

He finally let Ricky go, dropping him on the ground. "Let this be a warning!" The man said, pointing his finger at Ricky. "If I see your face around my baby again, the cops will be taking you away in a body bag." With that the man took off down the street.

* * *

When the cops arrived Officer Jenny went straight to Ricky, I guess he looked more suspicious or something, while the other cop came to me. He stood in front of me, questioning what happened.

"Yeah," I said. "I was training my Pichu and Cyndaquil when that bozo showed up and started putting the moves on some younger girl."

The cop took out a note pad and started scribbling something down. "And? Anything else?"

"Yeah, the girl's father came and threatened to beat him up, but when you all came he ran like mad, just like the rest of the towns folk that was standing around."

The cop looked at me over his thick shades. "So have you met that young man with red hair before? Do you know him?"

"Sadly." I huffed. "For whatever reason he demands to tag along with me, the womanizing pig."

"What exactly was he trying to do?" The cop asked.

I looked over his shoulder, and then put my hand to my face as I pointed to Ricky. "That."

The cop turned to see Ricky having Officer Jenny pinned up on the police car, her legs wrapped around him, deeply kissing on him. The cop's glasses dropped off his face as he watched. "Dang…"

We watched for a few more seconds until Officer Jenny pushed him off of her. She then straitened out her skirt, fixed her hat, and proceeded to write him a ticket.

"Well…" The cop said. "Um… I… um… " He turned back to me. "I guess that's all sir, thanks for everything." He picked up his glasses as he walked away, hopping back in the police curser.

Ricky walked up beside me, red lipstick all over the neck of his hoodie. "Boy, that was the best ticket I ever got."

I just stared at him, shaking my head with disbelief on my face.

"Aren't you even going to ask me how much it was for?" He smiled.

"Arg." I groaned, now even more disgusted with him. "Sure tell me." The only good thing out of this whole incident was that he did indeed get a ticket, so I might as well know how much it was.

"It was for 453-334-1287!" He laughed, pushing the paper in my face.

"Wait… how much?" I took the ticket, looking it over.

Crime Committed: Call me XoXoXo 3

Charge: $ 453-334-1287

Ticket Wrote By: Officer Jenny

"I don't believe it." I said, throwing the ticket back in his face.

He laughed more. "I love at the bottom corner where she kissed it." He paused, still following me. "I'm surprised she had enough lipstick left to do that."

I walked into the pokemon center, closing the door in Ricky's face. My gosh, that guy is so disgusting, how in the heck do women find him so attractive, even the ones that I think wouldn't? Nurse Joy, O fficer Jenny, the slutty freshmen I can kinda see, but come on, Jenny? I shook my head, putting my pokemon on the counter. "Heal these please, Joy."

"Of course!" She said, scooping them up in her hand and laying them down on the poke-healer.

"Hey man, what's up with you?" Ricky said, walking up behind me. "You left me trailing long behind you when you left Cherrygrove and when I got here you had a group of girls around you." He stuck his hands on his hips. "You know I love girls more than anything, why didn't you tell me you were trying to pick some up? Then when you did you almost let me get pounded over it. And just a few seconds ago you left me outside talking to a door about officer Jenny." He crossed his arms. "Not cool man."

"Sorry, but I must have missed the memo about me trying to impress you." I said, scooping up my pokeballs from the tray. "Next time I'll try to be more considerate of your STD filled future." I walked by him, signing in for a room at the registration list.

"God, are you always this up tight?" Ricky asked, watching me grab the key to my room.

"Ricky," I paused, my back facing him. "I have had a long day. The sun is already setting, and I'm tired. I have lost one of my pokemon, and gained a tag along that thinks about nothing except how many girl's panties he can get into. Personally," I said, still not facing him. "I think you are the worst scum there is, and I would prefer that you didn't hang around me if you're going to act like that." I threw my jacket over my shoulder as I walked into my room, locking the door behind me. I took Pichu out of my book bag, who had been asleep since the training ended. I laid him on the pillow beside me as I took off my pants, and shirt, slipping into my pajamas. I laid down, looking to the roof as I popped open the pill bottle mom gave me. God Shonna, why did you have to leave me? I took a pill, swallowing it without any water. I loved you, and you just left. I rolled over in my bed as a tear formed in my eye. I need you.
