It was time to go to sleep now, so we all got ready to go to sleep. I crawled into our roomy tent, followed by my brother, but not Lucus. He refused to sleep inside and insisted on staying out in the cold. I didn't get that at all, with the Spinarak still roaming the forest. I snuggled down under the make-shift duvet and got myself cosy. Fieritis was running around, gathering all of our belongings, including Lucus' stuff funnily enough. I rolled over to face him. He was bending down, stuffing lots of things into his big backpack.
"So, what do you think of Lucus?" he asked, quietly.
"He's cool." I responded, in a whisper. He nodded, still rummaging through our things. "You should get some sleep." I stated. He sighed and stood up, walking towards the pillow near mine. Silently, he sat down, covering himself up under the cover. Then I closed my eyes and slowly drifted off to sleep.
I'd never really been a girly-girl but I'd recently started to wear more dresses, do my hair more fancy and... like boys... I hadn't really ever liked anyone in particular until I'd met Lucus that day. Sadly, I couldn't help but begin to like him. He could be a bit of an idiot but I thought it was cute. I didn't show it though; that would be stupid. Never ever, had I had a crush on someone like that. How I'd gone from disliking him to loving him, I didn't really know.
When I'd woken up, Fieritis was already getting the bags ready once again and Lucus was waiting for my help in order to dismantle the tent. He never trapped his fingers (which I always had done) and had the tent down within minutes. I didn't do much other than stand there while he passed me metal poles to hold for him or put in a bag. By the time we'd finished, Fieritis was standing next to a tree with all of our bags at his feet. We ran over to him and picked our own up, slinging it over our shoulders, ready to leave. Lucus opened the front pocket of his backpack, pulled out a map and pulled a puzzled face. He was holding the map upside down. 'Typical' I thought. My brother took the map and began reading it and began walking ahead. My friend and I weren't paying attention very closely.
"Are you coming?" Fieritis called shouted. I raced Lucus to see who got to my sibling first. Of course, I lost.
I looked over towards a beautiful lake, shining in the sun, surrounded by lots of harmless pokemon including several Pidgey, lots and lots of Lotad and several zebra looking pokemon that I believed to be called Blitzle. Suddenly, I spotted a fluffy bird with two heads, drinking peacefully out of the lake. I couldn't quite remember what it was called until it glanced up at me, swallowing a gulp of water. I pointed at it, past a set of big white trees.
"Look, look! A Doduo!" I cried out, walking towards it with everyone following me. It was then that I realised what was coming next and bit my lip nervously, but also trying to contain my laughter.
"I'm going to catch it!" Fieritis exclaimed, excitedly. I couldn't help but think of when he tried to catch several pokemon before including the Butterfree on the branch and failed miserably. "Let's go buddy!" Froakie's pokeball was thrown in the air and a big, bright red beam appeared until the frog materialized. The orders soon started, being yelled as loud as possible. "Froakie! Use bubble!" Froakie's mouth stretched open and a gush of hard, fast moving bubbles flew out towards the Doduo. It quickly tried to retaliate, using peck on my brother's pokemon. The frog dodged it, leaving the bird face-planting into the mud painfully. I felt slightly sorry for it, as it really didn't need to be 'owned' for no reason. "Finish with Quick Attack!" Fieritis screamed as the Doduo fell to the ground unconscious. He pulled out another ball, ready to capture the poor creature. I flinched as a loud cry came from a furious Dodrio, charging at the three of us, its three heads changing to the primary colors. I screamed as my brother grabbed hold of my wrist and yanked me along, up the hill. I couldn't see very clearly, but as I was running, a red blur attacked the Dodrio with a purple blaze allowing Lucus to run away.
After a lot of training and travelling over large hills, which Lucus kept calling mountains, I spotted something. Something like a building. When the boys had reached the top of the hill, they began cheering, so I asked them what they were on about. Lucus grabbed me by the shoulders and shook me hard. I squealed at him as he spun me around to face the weird structure in the distance. He pointed at it, then pulled the poster we had previously shown him out of my bag and poked it hard.
"It's The Academy!"
