Hey guys I know I have updated in a while and I'm sorry a lot has happened. Please don't give up on this story because I'm back and I'm not going anywhere.
Jaconda POV
While walking to August house she was explaining to us how the daycare center was set up. "Its split up into sections," she said, "we have our forest dwellers, lake dwellers, plain dwellers, and cave/mountine dwellers".
"So is every pokemon there own by trainers" asked Don?
"No I'd say about thirty to forty percent belong to trainers as for the rest some where left there while others are pokemon we've raised ourselves and sell to people who want them" she said.
"How did it all get started" I asked?
"It started with my great grandfather, she explained, "when he was hound he found a group of injured pokemon and toke care of them until they got better. Afterward people saw how well of a job he did that they began to ask him to take care of thier sick pokemon, or when the went on vacation dropped them off at his place." She signaled for use to look in ahead and in the distance we could see a large house. " When relishing how many pokemon he was receiving he built that house and buy all the land around it."
"Its huge" I say as we get closer to the house. An elderly man walkers out. When he saw us he waved.
"Grandpa" yelled August waving.
"August I was wondering what was taking you so long" he said as we got closer.
"I meet some friends along the way," she said, "this is Jacinda and Don."
"It's nice to meet you sr." I say shaking his hand.
"Is it alright if they stay the night" asked August?
"Of course come in I was just finishing dinner" he announced as we walked into the house. "Why don't you show them around August." She took use up stairs to show us the rooms we would be staying in. We put our stuff down and follow her down stairs.
"Hey you guys want to help me feed the pokemon" she asked?
"Yeah" both Don and I said in union and headed out to the barn. She gave each of us three bowls of food.
"Okey Don you take the left path that will lead you to the lake and part of the forest and Jacinda you take the right it will lead you another part of the forest and the cave" she informed us and we headed to our areas.
As I walked down the path I think to myself 'this place is beautiful.' "Um time to eat" I yell as I place the food down and pokemon came running out left and right. I smiled at the different pokemon I saw.
"Cu cubone"
"Hello there little guy" I say reaching down to pet him. I them pull out my pokedex for some information.
"Cubone the ground type pokemon it wears the skull of its dead mother on its head. When it becomes lonesome, it is said to cry loudly."
"Poor thing" I say as I pet him.
"Jacinda" yelled Don.
"Coming, I got to go little guy" I say getten up and began to head back to the house.
"Hey what took you so long" said Don as I came in.
"Just playing with some pokemon" I explained.
"Dinner is served" announced August grandfather and we toke our seats as he handed us a plate. "So where do you two live?"
"I live in Vermilion City" I say.
"And I live in Saffron City" answered Don.
"Two great places to live," he said, "hey there is plenty here why not let your pokemon out."
"Alright come on out you guys" I grinned releasing charmander, Pidgey, and Psyduck.
"Lets go Buldasaur" said Don.
"You two have some very healthy looking pokemon" he smiled petting each of them. "I want to thank you all again for allowing August to travel with you."
"It no problem at all" I tell him with a smile.
"So I heard you all help feed the pokemon today" grandfather said.
"Yeah there a lot of different varieties" Don said with a smile.
"What the story with Cubone" I asked?
"Cubone" questioned August?
"Yeah while I was feeding the pokemon he came up to me and allowed me to pet him" I explained.
"Oh Cubone story is a sad one" explained grandfather letting out a long sigh. "He originally lived in Lavender Tohim but them Team Rocket invaded the place."
"What did they want" asked Don?
"Team Rocket tried to steal the Cubone to sell their valuable skulls. His mother Marowak was killed trying to protect him," he said, "A women there found him. She buried him mother in the Pokémon Tower and took him in trying to help him but he resisted her so she brought him here."
"But this is the first time he ever came out during feeding time he usually stays hidden," August informed me with a smile, "you must be special."
"Yes it good to see that his coming out of his shell to someone" said her Grandfather with a smile.
"Hey you guys where are we going after this" asked August?
"Oh that reminds me August I need you to take some pokemon medicine to your cousins Melanie" asked her Grandfather?
"Where dose she live" I asked?
"It's called the Hidden Valley," he told us, "its located a little closer to Vermilion City."
"Hey theres a gym there" reminded Don.
"Alright looks like that where we're heading" I say with a smile. "Can I use your phone?"
"Of course it right in the living room" she said. I put my plate in the sink before I head to the living room. The moment I found the phone I called my dad.
"Hi dad" I say when he answers.
"Jacinda sweet heart how are you" Dad said with a smile.
"Fine I meet an other friend and don't worry this ones a girl," I reassured him, "her names August and we are at her grandfathers daycare center."
"Good at lease your some where secure" he sighed.
"Yeah also our next destination is in Vermilion City" I tell him.
"The gym leader and I were close friends when we were young still are" he told me.
"Really" I asked?
"Yeah I'll give him a call and tell him your on your way" he told me.
"Thanks how are things going" I asked?
"Everything good on this end you brother is spending all his time training" he tells me.
"Tell him I said hi and that I love him" I say and began to yown.
"Alright babe I a let you go so you can get some sleep but call me when you get the chance"
"Love you" I say, he repeats and hangs up.
"Alright everyone lets turn in for the night" announced Grandfather as I returned. We said our goodnights and retreated to our room. I returned my pokemon before laying down to sleep.
"Cuuuuuuu" I had woken up with a fright at a howling sound.
"Cuuuuuu" I look out the window trying to see where the sound was coming from but couldn't pin point it's location. "Charmander" I call releasing her from her poke ball. She look around confused wondering what the problem was until she heard the moaning sounds. I motion for her to follow me be before we headed out the room. We tip toed through the house trying not to disturb anyone's sleep before exiting the back door in the kitchen. The sounds where coming from the woods so we followed. We walked a good distance before exiting into a clearing.
"Cuuuuuuuuuuuu" I turned towards the cry to see the Cubone I encountered earlier. He was facing a lake, tears were running down his face. I walked up to him, my heart breaking with every step.
"Cubone" I say when I got closer to him, touching him lightly on the head. He jumped at my presents but soon relaxed. "Can we sit down" I asked he nodded wiping his face? "I heard about your mom, I'm so sorry."
"Char" agreed Charmander sitting on the other side of him.
"You know I lost my mom when I was young too" I tell them. They look up at me waiting for me to continue. "I don't really remember her, but everyone would always tell me about. How good of a trainer she was, how much I look like her, and how much she loved me." Both Charmander and Cubone climed into my chest and rested against my chest. "Your mother loved you very much Cubone," I tell him, "she wouldn't want you to hide away but to enjoy lican and live it to the fullest." We sit there watching the full moon, I then look down to see both Cubone and Charmander has fallen asleep. I smile, get up, and carry them back to the house.
