Playing With Magic Ch1
#1 of Playing With Magic
A little something to commemorate Pokemon Y. I'll keep writing a bit later.
"Flamethrower, now!" Tom shouted. "C'mon, we almost got him!"
He watched as Vye raised her stick wand up at the opponents Carnivine. The small plume of fire on the end of her wand grew brighter and shot forward, lancing toward the opponent. A high pitched squeal signified the collision of flame to flesh. The already weakened Carnivine closed its eyes and lit up, being withdrawn back into its pokeball.
"Ahaha! A fine battle. Your Delphox is very well trained." Tom's opponent said, bowing a little. "You should be proud."
Tom walked up to Vye's side and gave her a hug; to which the pokemon gave a shrill purr of happiness.
"Yeah, I'm very proud." Tom beamed. "Although, she's been a little distant from me lately"
Looking her over, the man noticed the distant look in her eyes. "She didn't happen to evolve only recently did she?"
Tom nodded. "About two weeks ago now"
Laughing, the man gave Vye a pat. "Don't worry about it; she's just gained the psychic type, so her minds probably swimming with all the new power."
Tom looked down into Vye's dazed but happy face, and he felt her lean into him a little. Thanking the man for the battle, he began heading off for home, Vye in tow.
The park they had been battling in was not too far away, so it was only a matter of minutes before they got home. Vye went straight over to her little futon to rest, curling up and watching their shared TV.
Tom headed over to the kitchen, opened the fridge and took a look inside. Same stuff as last time; some milk, some eggs, and the box of poke-puffs he had bought for Vye. He closed the fridge and pulled a loaf of bread out of the cupboard. Putting a couple of slices in the toaster, he looked over at Vye, who had the dazed look on her face again. The toaster popped and Tom took the warm bread out, buttered it and walked over to the futon. He held a slice under Vye's nose until she snapped out of her trance and took it, happily nibbling away.
An idea crossed Tom's mind. "Vye, do you want to do some training with your psychic? Maybe understand it a little better?"
Vye looked up at him for a moment, before breaking into a smile and nodding.
Reassured, tom grabbed a bunch of odd things like cups and pens, placing them along the counter. He took a paperclip and walked over to Vye, holding the paperclip out in his hand.
"Alright, now just try to lift this for me" Tom said, holding his arm out.
Vye got up and sat on her knees, pulled her stick out and aimed it at the clip. The paperclip began to grow warm in Tom's hand, vibrating slightly. The expression on Vye's face changed to one of concentration, and the clip began to lift. Tom let go of it and was ecstatic when it stayed where he let go of it.
"That's it Vye! You're doing it!"
Her faced changed to that of joy, and the paperclip fell to the floor, bouncing underneath the couch. She opened her mouth for the piece of poke-puff Tom offered her. After letting her finish her treat, he went and got the pen. Laughing, he balanced it on Vye's nose. The fox pokemon giggled, almost dropping the pen, but managed to contain herself and focus.
Without her wand, she had a little trouble aiming, but before long, the pen on her muzzle began to rise. She opened her mouth in a grin; and fell over when a piece of poke-puff was pushed into her mouth. Tom fell onto the couch with her, laughing while she playfully pawed at him.
"Alright, alright," Tom laughed, pushing her off gently. "I'm sorry; it was just too good an opportunity."
He helped Vye up and got the mug. Setting it down on the floor, he stood back and gestured to it. Vye set herself up again; pointing her wand at the cup and concentrating. The mug shook and slid along the floor for a bit, but after two minutes it was obvious it wasn't going anywhere. Vye's shoulders drooped as she dropped her stick in disappointment.
"Don't be upset with yourself," Tom said, picking up the stick. "You managed to lift the clip and the pen. You'll get the mug with a bit more practise." He gave his pokemon a hug, slipping another treat into her paws. "I'm just going to go for a bit of a nap, so you can do whatever you want." He said, walking over to the hall. "I'll see you when I see you" he said, blowing a kiss jokingly towards her, turning around and entering the bedroom, just missing her catching the kiss and holding it close to her heart.
