While on Route 3, Walcekite started to walk next to a river. Some Swannas were swimming together and following the rivers flow, while Walcekite was walking against the flow. On the other side of the river some Blitzle were eating grass. Walcekite even saw a Zebstrika cautiously examining the girl on the other side of the river from her. There were sounds and noises of various pokemon in the sparkling orange afternoon sun. There were some clouds in the direction she was going, but they seemed very far away so she didn't concern herself with them and continued looking at the closer scenery.
"How beautiful," Walcekite thought and let out her pokemon, so that they could experience this beauty.
Meilli immediately started walking really close to the river and the little waves reaching the shore were wetting her feet, and she always squealed with excitement. Pela ran to the water, because she saw the water sparkling and shining, but as she was ready to jump, she gave a last thought to it and realized she almost jumped into somewhat cold water and stopped herself, after looking at the water for a bit, she started chasing her own tail, not giving any fuss to what was around. Chesire looked happily at the surroundings, but didn't want to leave Walcekite and was walking right next to her.
As they were calmly walking and hoping to reach Nacrene City till sunset, Meilli said to Walcekite telepathically.
"I think I found something!"
She jumped on a rock that had river water flowing from both sides around it. She tried to reach something, but her arms were too little. Her tail wasn't a good hook either. Walcekite walked up to her, to see a branch, and something in it, stuck at the other side of the rock Meilli was on. Walcekite took of her shoes and socks and landed her first step in the cold water.
"Agh! So cold," shivered Walcekite and landed a second step in the water.
With both feet in the water, she went over to Meilli, who was pointing at a stuck pokeball. Walcekite took the pokeball and jumped back to the shore. Her feet were freezing from the autumn cold water. Meilli jumped after her master as well and all three pokemon got closer to the master, to see what pokemon was inside the pokeball.
"Well, come out," said Walcekite throwing the pokeball softly. When it was about a meter away, it opened, released the pokemon, and came back to Walcekite's hand.
"Minccino," said a mostly gray fluffy pokemon that resembled a chinchilla. It didn't seem enthusiastic about being sent out from the pokeball, but when it saw that his trainer wasn't around, it became very timid and ran to hide behind the nearest rock on land.
"It's alright little one. We won't hurt you," Walcekite squatted down to look less big and intimidating, but Minccino didn't even look at the stranger and her pokemon. Then Walcekite said to Pela. "Could you try and make friends with Minccino?"
As Pela nodded and cutely tottered to the scared pokemon, she climbed on the rock and let down her tail next to Minccino. It tilted its head and touched one of the pink tail's little yellow balls and Pela mewed. Minccino raised its head quickly, scared of the sound, but Pela's face really wasn't scary to begin with, so Minccino smiled. As Pela started dangling her tail over Minccino and it was trying to catch it, both pokemon were having a fun time and Walcekite, along with Meilli and Chesire, went to the little creature.
"Is everything ok now, Minccino?" Walcekite asked when Minccino noticed her. It froze for a second and with a surprised face - nodded. "Great," smiled Walcekite. "Are you lost?"
Minccino looked around and nodded again.
"Then let's look for your owner," Walcekite suggested and walked upstream, for Minccino's pokeball was obviously washed away by the current.
Not long after all four pokemon and a girl, saw a bridge with someone on it. Once they got closer, they saw a little girl crying and a little boy trying to cheer her up, but constantly backing up, like embarrassed he has to do it. The girl had brown hair in two braids and a pink with yellow accessories coat. The boy had black spiky hair and was dressed like he was going for a run.
"Oh, stop crying!" the boy told the girl. "I told you I was sorry. What more can I do?"
The girl continued crying and ignored the boy.
"Ugh, you are such a baby. You can catch another Minccino in no time."
"But I wanted that one!" the girl screamed through tears.
"I think I can end these tears," said Walcekite and pushed Minccino to its owner.
"Ah! You are back! I though I lost you!" the girl hugged her pokemon tightly and looked at Walcekite. "Thank you so much."
"No problem. Here, its pokeball." Walcekite walked up to the girl and gave Minccino's pokeball.
"Really, thank you," said the boy. "She wouldn't stop crying and I'm already late. Ugh, I had to stand here and listen to her crying for ten minutes."
"You could have gone and got it, you know," smirked Walcekite and asked. "How did the pokeball fall into the water anyway?"
"He was running and he pushed me. I was holding a pokeball in my hand and to grab him, so I wouldn't fall, I let it go." the girl explained with a sad face.
"And she says that it's my fault. You shouldn't have been fooling around on this bridge in the first place!" yelled the boy.
"You shouldn't have ran so fast I almost fell into the river!" shouted the girl back standing up and holding Minccino tighter over his belly. It didn't seem it liked the possition.
"Hey, kids. Stop it! Now everything is fine: Minccino is back and no one got hurt. Now break it up and make up."
Both children looked at each other for a moment and turned their heads away, both angry and cocky. All pokemon and Walcekite sweat dropped, but Walcekite wasn't in the mood to listen to arguments so she said good bye and was on her way, but the boy stopped her.
"Hey! I see you have some pokemon. Let's go 3 on 3."
"Umm, didn't you say you were late for something?" raised one eyebrow Walcekite, though trough the bangs, it wasn't very noticable.
"At least I will have a better excuse for being late than that I was listening to a little brat cry."
"Who are you calling a brat?" the little girl puffed her cheeks.
"Of course you, who else," the boy showed his tongue to the girl and again turned to Walcekite. "What do you say?"
"My pokemon need healing after some battles."
"Ha, are you scared?" the boy smirked.
"Ugh, no!" Walcekite looked at her pokemon who really didn't seem like they battled not so long ago. Well, Meilli didn't battle at all, but Pela was battling Chesire. "Maybe 1 on 1?" suggested Walcekite.
"Hmmm...fine," agreed the boy. "Then I will choose my strongest! Go Krokorok!"
"A dark type... This may take a long time since Meilli is a dark type as well. Well, nevermind, I can't put my other pokemon in danger whent they have battled much before."thought Walcekite and after scanning the Krokorok, commanded Meilli to go up against it.
Once they got off the bridge, the boy didn't waste time and commanded.
"Krokorok, use Rage!" the pokemon glowed red and smirked at Meilli.
"Meilli, use Shadow Ball!" as the dark ball flew towards Krokorok, it took the hit and got more powerfull. "We have to do this quickly," understood Walcekite.
"Krokorok, use Sand Tomb!"
"Dodge it, Meilli!"
Sand was starting to move around Meilli as Krokorok started kicking up the sand. Meilli jumped from the circle forming around her and landed on safe ground.
"Use Pursuit followed up by Shadow Ball!" commanded Walcekite.
Appearing right in front of Krokorok so fast he hardly noticed it, Meilli smashed herself into its belly and after jumping a few steps back, she fired another Shadow Ball. Krokorok got some bruises.
"Agh, that little Zorua gives out a lot of damage!" the boy was irritated. "Well, now she will feel the power of Krokorok! Use Crunch!"
The Krokorok opened up his enormous jaws and bit Meilli, almost making her disappear in his jaws.
"Ah, Meilli!" Walcekite was frightened that Krokorok will eat her, but then she came up with an idea. "Meilli, use Shadow Ball and aim it at its throat!"
The pain gotten from an exploding dark ball inside ones body was huge and Krokorok screeched from pain opening his jaws wide and letting Meilli free.
"Use Pursuit and finish him!"
As Krokorok was trembling from pain, Pursuit made him lose his balance and it fell on his back. The fall kicked up some sand in the air and after a few seconds, when the sand retreated, Krokorok already was fainted.
"Ha, you thought you could beat my Meilli?" smirked Walcekite catching Meilli, who was jumping in her arms.
"Krokorok return," said the boy in a defeated tone, making the pokemon return to its pokeball. "Fine, you beat me. This day couldn't get any worse."
And it started to rain.
"What the?! I had to open my mouth! You firetrucking sky!" cursed the boy looking at the sky filled with dark clouds.
"Oh right. I was wondering when the rain will come," smiled Walcekite at the boy's frustration and got a small and compact umbrella out of her bag. "You should return guys. I don't want to get you wet." Walcekite opened her umbrella and returned all of her pokemon to their pokeballs and left the boy still cursing the sky.
The little girl was sitting on the bridge that whole time and again started crying because it was raining, but Walcekite had enough crying for one day and just told her to rush home. The boy took her hand and dragged her after him. It seemed they lived next to each other, maybe they were neighbours. Walcekite couldn't help but notice that the girl was blushing a bit. Walcekite smiled and ran to Nacrene City.
