Kale: … Okay….
Hi Nexus! Anyway, STORY!
"I SAID, do you want to be my personal assistant?" Serena repeated, a completely serious expression on her face.
"WHO ASKS THAT?!"
"I DO."
"WHY DO YOU NEED ONE?!"
"I'm glad you asked!"
"… You're not gonna sing are you?"
"… No…?"
"Okay."
Serena pulled down a chart out of seemingly nowhere. On it was a map of the six regions: Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova, and Kalos. On the map, certain cities were circled in red: Cerulean City, Goldenrod was circled twice, Sootopolis had a question mark next to it, Jubilife was plainly circled, Castelia had three circles and four arrows pointing to it, Lumiose was marked with a bull's eye, and both Vaniville and Aquacorde had been X'd out.
"… What does all this mean exactly? "
"This, dear Kale, is my map to becoming Grand Gang Leader!" Serena said, her fists in her sides in a victory Pose.
"… Still lost."
"Basically, it's how I became the Gang Leader of all six regions!"
"… But why do you need me?"
"What, you thought I could beat every gang in the world by myself? No, I need people like you." Serena said, pointing at Kale.
"And if I refuse?"
"Well, for starters, you don't get to see the world, and secondly." She leaned in close. "I will make your life a living hell. Got it?"
"…" Kale gulped. "Got it."
"Good! We leave tomorrow. Get packed, explain to your mother, all that."
Kale nodded and left, thinking about exactly WHAT to say to his mother.
Lily Greystone had heard and seen many things. She did become a trainer after all. Hell, all of Kale's Pokemon were originally hers. Regardless, this took the cake. "You're saying you're going to all the regions… Because a girl FORCED you into it?"
"I would like to remind you that this girl is a Gang Leader…"
"Besides the point!" She said, crossing her arms.
"Look, I HAVE to go now."
"Hm… Fine."
"Wait, really? You're not gonna say no?"
"Maybe you'll finally get some real life experience"
"… Glad to know that you have faith in me…"
"Oh, and one more thing Kale."
"Yeah?"
"You're going to be with a girl your age for a while. Don't… Try to do anything."
"… MOM!"
Dink!
"Mm…" Kale turned over in his bed.
DINK!
"Five more minutes Mom…"
CRASH!
Kale shot up. "WHAT THE-"
A good sized rock had broken his bedroom window. Kale climbed out of bed and rushed to look out the window.
Serena stood outside on his front porch, dressed and ready to go.
"Serena, what the hell?!" He whisper-yelled.
"Why aren't you ready?!" She whisper-yelled back.
"Because it's…" He glanced at his bedside clock. "THREE IN THE MORNING?!"
"Kale…? Who is it?" A bleary-eyed Lily stumbled into the room.
"Um…"
"Guest." Serena answered.
"What she said."
"Oh. Well, tell her to come in. I'll make toast."
Serena bit into a piece of toast. "Mm, that is good toast."
Kale mumbled something in response, tugging on his Rhyperior shirt.
"So, you're the girl my Kale is going to be traveling with?" Lily asked, awake thanks to a cup of coffee.
"Yes ma'am."
"And you're a… Gang Leader?"
"That I am."
"Oh, well…"
"What?"
"Nothing!" Lily exclaimed.
"…" Serena glared at Lily.
Lily sighed. "You just… Don't look like a Gang Leader?"
"WHAT YOU JUST-"
"AS LOVELY AS THIS CONVERSATION HAS BEEN…" Kale interrupted. "Don't you think we should get going Serena?"
Serena nodded. "I'll give you two some privacy to say goodbye." She grabbed her pack and went outside.
Kale and Lily stood up and hugged each other.
"Bye Mom."
"Goodbye Kale. Make sure to call every once in a while okay?"
"You got it Mom." Kale pulled himself from her embrace, grabbed his stuff, and, with a final wave goodbye, left the house.
Serena got up from the tree she had been sitting against. "Shall we?"
"…" Kale nodded. "Yeah."
And with that, the two walked through the gate and left Vaniville Town.
Short chapter, I know, but trust me, things will happen in the next chapter! Regardless, hope you guys have a good day!
