"So you actually caught that Skarmory Maria?!" a boy with red brown hair exclaims.
My best friend/longtime rival and I are walking down a busy street along with our Pokémon in Ecruteak City, I tell him about how I caught my latest Pokémon
"For the tenth time, yes Alexander I did catch her" I grumble, my female Shiny Zorua Chippy notices my annoyance "But the Skarmory hit Volcain in the eye with an Air Slash."
"Oh no, how is he?" Alexander asks me looking very worried.
I stop walking and look down at the pavement, "Nurse Joy said that he might make a full recovery or Volcain will become partial blind in his left eye."
"That poor Charizard…you had him since you were a kid didn't you?" Alex was right, I had Volcain since I first started my Pokémon journey; right after I obtained my Froakie, who is now a Greninja.
"Yeah…" That was the only thing I can say to him. Bitter thoughts began to drift into my mind, Alex noticed that I was trouble and pats me on my shoulder.
"Hey now, don't worry about it" my rival reassures me, "Why don't we battle each other again just like old times?" It was getting late, the sun was starting to set over the city's horizon.
"It's getting late Alex, how about tomorrow? I am not feeling to well…"
Alexander's green eyes shine with disappointment, "Oh ok. Yeah tomorrow sounds great."
I sighed and went my separate way with Alexander, Poor kid he needs guidance from someone much older. Finally I reach my temporary apartment, it was around average size with a couple bedrooms and a bathroom; I was lucky to get it for an easy, affordable price. I glanced behind me to make sure was securely locked before letting Chippy out of her simple Pokeball. She sparkled a bit immediately after she was released followed by her usual routine of stretching and greeting me in her native language.
Chippy nudges my hand wanting me to pet and brush her fluffy body, so I retrieve her fur brush out of my bag. I gently brush her brown fur, "You can be so spoiled sometimes" I tease her jokingly, causing her to protest furiously. Finally she curled up on her bed and dozed off.
Heheh she is so adorable I giggle when she rolls on her belly. My stomach growls singling that I was starving. Right, I didn't eat today… I open my refrigerator door and look inside to find a half empty carton of take out. I place it in the microwave and start cleaning up my somewhat filthy kitchen.
An annoyed yip grabs my attention after I start filling up the sink with hot water and dirty dishes, "Oh, Chippy I am sorry. You must be hungry right?" The Zorua nudges me forward to her food bowl.
"Ok, ok one sec." I grab her PokeFood off of the counter and fill her bowl to the rim, as Chippy begins to eat ravenously I feel a warm liquid pool around my feet. "Oh Shit! The water!" The sink was overflowing badly and I quickly turn the water off. Great…another mess to clean, well at least Chippy is trying to help. Chippy stopped eating when the sink started overflowing and was lapping up the fallen water instead.
After wiping up the water and finished up the dishes, I took my lukewarm leftovers and sat on the sofa once again. Chippy is in her usual state of "Pretending to sleep but will quickly rush over if you have any leftover food to give me". I sighed and slowly finished my meal.
Then there came a rushed knocking on my door…
(Sorry I kind of seems slow and boring but it's going to get better in the next chapter so stay tuned!
Ciao!)
