NEVERMORE
~Part One Of Forever Trilogy~
Chapter 7
On The Lam
We really didn't get that far before we were stopped; not even to Sandgem Town. And guess who we were stopped by? Guess. That just made my day. It really did. Not.
Diamonda.
"PLATO, WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING?" she shrieked shrilly.
I thought we really had ditched her. Guess not. She looked like she packed to join us. Arceus help us all.
"I don't think," said Plato. "I know."
She scowled. "Don't be a smartass! Where are you going and what are you doing?"
"I'm going on a journey to be a pokemon trainer," he replied. "Got a problem with that?"
"Of course I do!" she cried. "Pokemon are stupid creatures! Don't ruin your life, Plato!"
Raiden growled, cheeks crackling with yellow electricity. We are not stupid, you $%&!
Whoa, I just totally heard what Raiden was thinking! My Pikachu has a foul mouth!
"I'm not ruining my life," her brother said. "I'm getting a life."
"I'm not letting you do this!" she shrieked.
"Sorry, you have no say."
"Fine, then I'm coming with you!"
"NO!" Viola and I screamed at the same time.
She stuck her tongue out at us. "Too bad. I'm coming whether you like it or not."
"Fine then," I said. "Then you better makes friends with a pokemon 'cause Raiden and I are so not saving your ass."
...
We made to Sandgem. Raiden had to beat down a couple Bidoof and Starly, but that was it. All the Starly went down in one hit. Raiden must be extremely high leveled compared to the local Pokemon. Thanks to a book on Pokemon Viola brought with her, I figured out his moves. He only knew three: Thunderbolt, Quick Attack, and Iron Tail.
We stocked up on supplies at Sandgem. Raiden hid in my bag the whole time. Yes, we were stared at. Did I care? No. But then the whispering started. Apparently I was on the Most Wanted List because I was a Pokemon trainer; we had to split fast. I was just as bad as Chase now. Great. I wonder if he knew?
So we headed off to Jublilife City. I honestly had no idea where to go. Only if I could somehow contact Chase! He would know what to do. Besides, I missed him. Of course, that got me thinking of the news, and how the news said he was always with that Safaia chick. They didn't show a picture of her, but with that kind of name, she had to be gorgeous.
And then I was suddenly in a very pissy mood.
"Oooh, Viola, I think I want this Pokemon," Rubin said, pointing to a drawing in the pokemon book. "It's called 'Poochyena'! It's so cute! Oooh, Skitty's pretty cute too! But I want Poochyena! Its cute and cool!"
"I don't think you can find them in Sinnoh," said Viola. "It says they're found in Hoenn."
"Aw man," he groaned. "But I've got to befriend a Poochyena as my starter!"
"Oh, Rube, don't be so stubborn," said Viola, shaking her head.
"You know what I'd like to be my partner?" said Plato. "A Chimchar. They're freakin' awesome."
"Yeah, like you're going to find a wild Chimchar," said Viola, her voice dripping with sarcasm.
"I just want something cute," said Jade. "Something from Kanto that's cute."
"Why Kanto?" I asked, butting into the conversation.
"Because that's where I'm from," said Jade. "I was just boarding at school. I'm really from Viridian. Also, I'm descended from two of the Pokedex Holders, Silver and Green."
"Really?" I gasped. "I'm from Goldenrod in Johto. Well, I guess I'm really from Pallet Town, though I was born in Viridian; literally, I was born in the forest. Red and Yellow are my ancestors!"
"Whoa, that' so cool!" exclaimed Rubin. "No wonder you befriended a Pikachu!"
"Pikachu!" Raiden said happily. Duh! He's a smart one.
"Wait," said Jade. "You say you were born in Virdian Forest?"
"Yeah," I replied. "Why?"
"Well, there's this legend that says that anyone from the Viridian Forest has a connection to it," Jade explained. "They have special abilities. Like, hearing thoughts of pokemon, healing powers, etc."
No. Freaking. Way.
Well, that explained a lot.
"Wow, that's so cool!" exclaimed Rubin, his eyes shining.
Diamonda rolled her eyes. "I don't see what's so special about it."
"Shut up, blondie," I snapped.
"Look who's talking," she said snidely.
I scowled. "Okay, how about this: shut up, girl who thinks she's a princess."
She returned my scowl and flipped her hair with a huff. Arceus, I hated her.
I turned to Plato. "How the hell can you stand her?"
He shrugged. "Do I have a choice?"
Good point.
Yes, I'm still accepting OCs!
