Chapter 2
Sparky
Penny, the snivy, looks around in the trees, looking for something to eat. Climbing from tree to tree she quickly is making her way across the land. She doesn't stop to check out the view. She is going to complete that goal. She comes across a tree, for how many times this bold and quick creature has been to this tree, no one really knows, except perhaps the tree itself. She climbs the tree and searches for what hasn't been taken from the tree yet. She finds the prize that the tree has on a thin and weak branch. She slowly makes her way on this fragile branch. Penny then hears a voice from the same tree, "You know you're not going to make it."
Penny looks up and sees an emolga. "I have to try."
The emolga flies down to penny and makes a soft landing. "You and I both know that the branch will break if you go out there. When you do, you will go crack just like the branch. This branch is your lifeline, but sometimes we need to choose a better lifeline."
"Do you see any other branch with an apple?"
"You can't always go with the first one you see"
"You can't always play it safe" Penny smirks.
The emolga flies to the end of the branch and picks the blood red apple and hands it to Penny.
Penny takes the apple. "Why would you do that?"
"I'm saving your life. Plus you look really hungry."
"I am. But I'm a complete stranger to you. Why would you care?"
"I don't know. I usually let them fall because they wouldn't listen like you, but for some reason I thought about helping you out. Something about you I felt like, well, sometimes we just feel like we can trust someone even though we barely know them. It's very strange. I also thought it was different to see a girl here. Usually they get pushed out by the guys."
"But you're a girl too." Penny bites into the red apple.
"Ya. But I can fly. Kind of hard to stop someone from stealing when you can't catch them in the sky." She giggles.
Penny doesn't answer. She keeps biting into the apple.
The emolga breaks the silent, "Well I'm Sparky and you?"
"I'm penny"
"That's a cool name!"
Penny smiles, "Thanks. Yours isn't half bad either."
"Thanks!" Sparky giggles.
Penny discards the apple then folds her arms. "So..."
"So how are the guys treating you?"
"Meh... I have this one oshawott that likes me but I'm not interested."
"D'aww I think you would be cute with an oshawott."
Penny looks away.
"Sorry. Did I say something?"
"No. How are the guys treating you?"
"Pretty bad."
"Hm?"
"Ya."
"Why are they mean to you?"
Sparky doesn't answer.
"Too personal?"
Sparky nods.
"Okay then... That's a nice bow you got there" Penny points to the white bow on Sparky's ear.
Sparky smiles, "Thanks. You would look good with a bow too!" She puts the white bow on her tail before she can abject. "You look great!"
"Heh heh Thanks"
"We look like a team with these bows."
"A team eh?"
"Ya! I think you would fit in well with the team!"
"Wait! You already have a team?" Penny said surprisingly.
"Yep." Sparky smiles. "You want to be part of our team?"
"What does the team do?"
"You'll enjoy what we do."
"Who else is on the team?"
"Well... I have a lot of pokèmon and people on the team that work with us. I have main pokèmon that works with me. He-"
"He?" Penny interrupted. She folds her arms. "Whatever happened to the guys being mean to you?"
"Well... um... you see... he's the only one... um... that doesn't hate me."
Penny rolls her eyes.
"Alright you got me, so not every guy hates me."
Penny thinks, "Why would any guy hate her? She is very nice. Too nice maybe. What is she hiding? Can anyone be this nice? What does this mean? There are too many questions that I still have. I'm getting more questions than answers. If I'm going to get these answered there's only one thing to do."
Penny finally saids, "I'll join your team."
