Pokemon BW.02 Town Appeal
"Are we there yet?" a voice rings through my head.
"I've said this many times Flo, we're ALMOST there." I reply cooly. "We're close to Accumula Town anyway. It should be just over the next hill."
"I see it now!" chirped in Terry.
"Do you see the Pokemon centre? I need to make a call." I asked Terry.
"Yeah, it's right there at the centre of town. It's that big building right there."
"Why is it so big?" confusion spread all across my face.
"It's a Pokemon Centre and Pokemart mixed into one building." Terry replies back with a smug look on his face.
"What's that look for?" annoyance can clearly be seen all over my face.
"Nothing." He said quickly and quietly.
As we enter Accumula Town, we see a crowd start to form in a town square. "-berated. Our goal is to release pokemon from the grips of human control, because we as humans are limiting the pokemons' capabilities. If you want your pokemon to be truly happy, I urge you to release your pokemon so that they may be free to roam the wild." As this was being said I put on a cloak and moved into the crowd. From what I see, the speaker looks to be an old man, maybe 50 to 60 years of age. He wore a big robe with what looked like a castles turrets towards the top of the robe. Where the robe clasped together was an emblem, it looked like a shield with a black and white background and with what looked like a letter z behind a letter P.
My friends are probably thinking where I had gone to by then, but I had to see what was up with this crowd and now I found out. It was some looney trying to get people to release their pokemon for some stupid reason. Around me, I heard people wondering whether to release their pokemon or not. "We sincerely appreciate your attention." The last words of the speech. I saw what looked like knights pack up flags with the shield emblem and form a circle around the old man to make sure he was protected.
"Do you believe what that man was talking about?" I turned around and saw a young man about two to three years older than I. He had long, wild green hair tied in a ponytail and a black and white cap on. His clothes looked simple, a white overshirt and a black undershirt. Grey jeans, green shoes. He had a chain attached to his pants, and at the end of that chain looked like an old Rubick's Cube.
"No I don't, I believe humans and pokemon have to be with one another to learn more of what they can do. Right Treeko?" I turned to the little Wood Gecko pokemon. "Tree!" was his reply.
"Interesting." The trainer had a thoughtful expression on his face.
"What is it?"
"It seems your pokemon really likes you. It is something I have not seen with a pokemon being contained in a pokeball before."
"I've got news for you buddy, I never put Treeko in a pokeball. He practically hates it in there."
"I see. I challenge you to a battle." He challenged me.
"Fine by me." I accepted his challenge. "You ready for this Treeko?"
"Ko!" he said with determination in his eyes.
Just then. "-ink I see her" an annoying voice rings out in my head. "She looks like she's about to battle someone."
"Purrloin, let's have some fun." In a flash of red light, I see a primarily purple cat with beige patches. "Purrrr."
Two smug looking pokemon, a Treeko and a Purrloin ready to battle, one for freedom of pokemon and one for pokemon friendships.
"Treeko, let's try to end this quickly, use Quick Attack." I said calmly to Treeko. Before the trainer could even tell his pokemon what to do, Purrloin had been knocked out by the Quick Attack.
"Amazing! I have never seen a trainer and pokemon bonded as well as you and your Treeko." The trainer said. "My name is N. I would hope to meet you in the near future so we can battle again."
"Me too." Was my simple reply. N left quickly before my friends fought their way through a dissipating crowd.
"Ah, Stormy, we've been looking everywhere for you." Jonathon said. "And why are you wearing that cloak?"
"Don't you know J? I wear cloaks now. I think cloaks look cool." I joked with Jonathon.
"Can you please take it off? It looks really suspicious." Jonathon said, obviously annoyed at being called J. "And don't call me J. Please?"
Terry interjected before I could reply, "What was that crowd about?"
"Some old guy wanted trainers to release their pokemon because, apparently, we are mistreating them."
"Well, when you put it that way, it makes it seem like the oji-chan is a bad guy for making us think that." Flo said.
"Don't tell me you believe the crap he spewed?" I shot.
Flo looked hurt at what I had said. "Oh come on Stormy, lay off her. She's very confused right now." Terry said.
"Confused about what?" I spat at him. "She just started her pokemon journey, what is there to be confused about?"
"What about you huh? Didn't you just start your journey? And don't talk to Terr like that!" I could hear a trace of iciness in Florance's voice.
"As a matter of fact, no, I didn't just start out. Why do you think Treeko is so strong? Why would I come to a foreign land before journeying my home region? Look, I don't need this right now." I see everyone's stunned faces then I turn around and put on my cloak heading towards what I think is Striaton City.
"Stormy! Wait up!" I hear a warm voice behind me. I don't turn around but I know Jonathon is following me.
"If you want to follow me, go ahead. But I don't want to be around her for now." I said in a soft voice.
"I won't force you to go back there, but just remember this: we are all friends, no matter what will happen."
I stop for a second, and without turning around to face Jonathon, I start heading off to Striaton City again. I hear a second set of footsteps coming after me; Jonathon chose to come with me. "Thank you, Jonathon."
"Now that's just weird, it's not like you to call me by my first name. Please, just call me J." I smile, tears welling in my eyes.
