Pokemon Virus Version Chapter 2: A Vixen's Entrance (Rewrite)
Okay, so where do I start? Oh yeah, my name is Yumi and I dream of nothing less than becoming a celebrity! Top Coordinators are considered celebrities, so I decided to focus on Pokemon Contests to make my dream a reality! I am thirteen years old and I come from Olivine City. I have long, black hair with aqua blue bangs. I wear a short skirted, aqua blue furisode with some black stocking. I also wear white heeled ankle boots.
I was just accompanied to the Pokemon Lab by my mother. We were in the middle of saying our goodbyes.
"You be careful, sweetie. Follow your dreams, and don't hesitate to visit the house back in Olivine." My mother had to keep from crying
We hugged and said our final goodbyes. We parted ways as I approached the Pokemon Lab to receive my first pokemon, but what I didn't expect was approaching the scene of a broken window. A man stood in front of the window, exasperated.
"Not again." The man sighed as he closed his eyes.
"What happened here?" A guy asked as he approached the coated man.
The boy looked to be around my age. He had black colored hair and blonde bangs.
"The name's Seth." The boy introduced himself. "I was scheduled to receive my first pokemon today."
"Oh, me too!" I excitedly I raised my hand to the sky.
"You are correct, Seth." The man responded rather sheepishly. "However, the pokemon that were supposed to be given to you two were stolen just a few minutes ago.?
Seth sighed. No emotion could be read from his face.
"Aw man." I drooped.
The man in the white coat then faced me. "Miss, may I have your name?"
"Lady Yumi, reporting for duty, Sir!" I gave the man an exaggerated salute.
I don't know why, but Seth looked at me annoyed as his eyes narrowed. I wonder what he's thinking?
"I am Professor Elm." The man looked indignant as he rubbed the back of his head. "I do have one other pokemon that could be given to a trainer, I suppose. The bad news is only one of you will receive the pokemon."
Seth received an apologetic look from the Professor.
"Seth, I do apologize for any inconvenience, but since Yumi arrived here shortly before you did, she will be receiving the final pokemon."
Bummer...Well, it is 'ladies first' after all! But Seth...he still had that indifferent expression on his face.
"It can't be helped." Seth closed his eyes, hands in his pockets. "May I at least get the Pokeballs and Pokedex?"
"Sure." Professor Elm said smiled. "It's the least I could do. Think of it as an apology for this most troublesome inconvenience. The Police should be here in a few minutes, to assess the damages here." He started walking toward the inside of the lab. "In the mean time, I shall give to you the proper tools needed for your journey."
"Alright! So in the lab we go!" I raised my fist to the sky.
Seth's POV
What a drag...
I put my hand on my chest as my mind began to drift. Why am I not upset about this turn of events? Where...where was my heart? Was it really not there anymore? I remained deep in thought until I felt a tap on my shoulder.
"How are you not upset?" Yumi asked. "It's not everyday someone get's snubbed like that."
I sighed as I began following the Professor, "I don't know."
"Man, what a downer..." Yumi whispered to herself. "Wait, I know!"
Yumi ran up to me and grabbed my arm only to start pulling me into the lab. Heart or no heart, even I have problems with people who don't know about personal space.
"I'll make it up to you! How about I help you capture your first pokemon!' Yumi had naive enthusiasm that could only be matched by a toddler that didn't know any better. "We'll be perfect on a journey together!"
I pulled my arm back. "Sure, why not?" I said flatly as we caught up with the professor.
As the professor noted, only one Pokeball was set on the table, ready for Yumi to receive. Without word, Professor Elm grabbed the pokeball and released the pokemon kept inside. The pokemon wasn't one of the starters as advertised, but it certainly was a familiar one. The brown fox was a bit more common back in Sinnoh.
"Aww!" Yumi's eyes glittered like a wide eyed Lillipup. "It's so cute!"
"The Evolution, Eevee!" The Professor was happy to see Yumi's positive response to the Normal Type.
"Vee!" Eevee smiled, happily wagging its tail as it eyed Yumi.
"Can't say I'm surprised." I sighed.
"What do you mean?" Yumi questioned me with a curious expression on her face.
"He's referring to a then-Pokemon League Champion who's first pokemon was an Eevee," Professor Elm answered.
I nodded, confirming the Professor's correct answer.
"Then I guess top tier IS our destiny!" Yumi picked up Eevee and started nuzzling it affectionately.
I turned to the professor as he brought out twelve Pokeballs and two Pokedexes.
"I believe this routine is well known by now." Professor Elm felt little need to explain how Pokeballs and the Pokedex operate. "Must I explain how these devices work?"
"No, thank you." I answered.
Yumi as she grabbed her aqua blue colored Pokedex while still holding Eevee.
"Oh my Arceus, Eevee! This looks like the latest portable gaming system!" Yumi was ecstatic. She started rambling on about topics that were irrelevant to me. To be honest, she talked so much that her voice started becoming background noise to me. Meanwhile, I picked up and observed my own Pokedex. It was navy blue in color. My mind was once again wondering, but that abruptly came to an end when Yumi suddenly grabbed my arm and started speaking.
"Come on! Quit being so quiet!" She started dragging me out the lab. "It's time for me to help you catch your first pokemon!"
Yumi left Eevee outside of its Pokeball for the time being. She still held on to my arm. I pulled away several times, but she was clingy.
We made our way out the lab, Yumi rambling until she caught site of a Flamethrower attack aimed toward the sky coming from the outskirts of New Bark Town.
"Well-" I attempted to speak, but was interrupted by Yumi.
"-That could be a wild Pokemon! Come on!" She dragged me toward the beginning of my journey and what could be my first Pokemon.
To Be Continued...
