Pokémon
Chapter #2 Saying Goodbye…Or Not
This will be how my current journey starts. Next chapter will be in…. another point of view!!! Please, please, please review! Even if I just get one person to review today, I will basically love that one person forever. I do NOT own pokemon or it's character that you recognize. I only own Alex and Ryan.
Present
I woke up to my radio playing soft music and my little eevee who was also stirring from her spot on my stomach. I quickly turned off my radio before it woke up my brother. I then gently lifted eevee off my stomach and back onto my bed as I crawled out of bed and slowly made my way over to my window, looking out at the dark sky.
It was only 5 in the morning at the moment. Why would I get up that early you way ask? Well you see, I'm planning setting off to the Sinnoh region today. My brother wants me to stay home for a little while, since I just got back from Hoenn, and help him with his pokemon day care center. I may enjoy traveling, but Ryan loves taking care of pokemon from our home. Many people bring him pokemon to take care of for a while and he's really good at it too. He thinks I need some 'down time' before I start traveling again, but it's been a week! He can stay home all he wants but I'm traveling. And today's the day I'll be leaving… without telling him.
Ash is supposed to be leaving today too. The only person I told about me leaving is my best buddy Gary, or Gare-bear as I started calling him (Usually when I'm trying to annoy him). He helped me plan out the whole escape thing. The first thing I had to was wake up before my brother, which wasn't hard at all considering I'm usually up before him anyway. Then I had to have everything all packed and ready to go with only the pokemon I am taking with me. Since my brother will be at the boat to Sinnoh to see his best friend Ash off, I will by flying on one of my many pokemon that I have caught and trained on my journeys. I've been to all the regions, challenged all of the gym-leaders and won all the badges (not including Sinnoh).
No, I did not do all this to be a pokemon master like Ash. I mostly did it to see the world, nature, create the strongest bonds possible with my pokemon and of course to help the professors with their pokemon research. I also have competed in a fair share of pokemon contests. I believe they're great ways to have fun with your pokemon and show them off. Plus, contest routines are very helpful in other battles as well. I met a lot of interesting people and pokemon during my journeys, got to do a lot of camping and I did meet up with my old friends a lot too.
I smiled at the memories as I grabbed my normal attire and threw it on. I was now wearing my loose blue denim jeans with a black pokemon belt hanging loosely around my waist, a leafy green polo shirt with two, my old, comfy black running shoes, a lime green bandana tied around my upper arm and a necklace that could hold two pokeballs around my neck. Professor Oak gave it to me for my Birthday last year so now I can hold up to eight pokemon at a time! I dashed to the bathroom to brush my teeth and my shiny brown hair, with my bangs parted to my right, stopping just about mid eye length. I usually kept them covering my eye.
My eevee looked at me sleepily and yawned as I checked to make sure I had everything I needed. I patted her on the head and whispered, "You can rest in you pokeball for the ride over, ok Isis?" while I returned her to her pokeball and placed in inside my necklace. I only called my pokemon by their names if I'm holding a conversation with them. If not I just called them by their names (species). Weird, I know.
I stealthily jumped out of my window, careful to make no noise, and ran over to the professor's lab to collect my other pokemon I was taking with me. Since I figured I would be catching more pokemon in Sinnoh, I decided to only take eevee, who is my starter, cubone, the little baby that I couldn't bare to leave by himself, and I would be flying over on my charizard, who was my second pokemon I ever got after I saved him from drowning in a river as a charmander when I first started my journey.
The professor was out at the moment so I let myself in, snatched my pokeballs and ran to the field to call them out. Soon my large charzard and my tiny cubone were in front of me.
Don't worry, my charizard is my best friend and is totally obedient, which Ash is really jealous of since his will barely listen to a word he says. My charizard and I have a really close bond that I worked really hard on. He respects me a lot for that day I saved him. He can get a rather 'fiery' attitude if you mess with me, him or my other pokemon, so I nicknamed him Hotshot.
My cubone I just caught before I last came home. It was a newborn that just lost his mother, so it's still very young. I took care of it and now it thinks of me as his mother. I nicknamed him Skull.
My eevee was my starter pokemon from professor Oak. We have the strongest bond out of all my pokemon and even though she's small and un-evolved, she can easily knock out a pokemon ten times the size she is. I've asked her if she wanted to evolve before but she refuses every time and I'm fine with that. She keeps all my pokemon, and me, in place and also hates when people mess with either of us. I often leave her out of her pokeball to keep me company, like Ash's pikachu. I nicknamed her Isis.
I gazed over at Gary's house to see him watching me. I picked up my cubone and held him tightly as I flung myself onto my awaiting charizard's back and told him to go over to Gary's window. Gary had his widow open and was slightly leaning out so he could talk to me as charzard hovered outside his window.
"Well you're up early. Everything is going as planned." I said softly.
He gave me a small smile and said, " I wanted to say goodbye to you before you left, and to tell you to call me sometimes to tell me how you're doing."
I chuckled. "Aww you're going soft Gary Oak. You know I'll call you whenever I can. I think I'll wait until my brother cools down before I try calling him though." I grimaced thinking of what he would say. "Please tell him I'm sorry."
Gary nodded and I gave him a hug, well the best I could while hovering and holding cubone at the same time. "I'll miss you my little Lexi," he whispered in my ear.
I pulled back, stuck my tongue out at him at his use of my nickname and said our famous line, "Smell ya later my Gare-bear," while charizard took off flying over the sea to Sinnoh and cubone and I waved back to a smirking Gary Oak.
Ok. Again please review! And yes, the next chapter will be in...another point of view!! Review away!
