Chapter two... Continue the party build.
The surprise.
I look over to my clock by the bed, it said 7:30am I look back over at Sammy where she is snuggled into the sheets. “Come on Sammy, time to get up”. I gently shake her to which she grumbles cutely and rolls over to sleep again. “Sam, get up or else you aren’t getting any sweets when we leave”. At this she instantly gets up and runs to get ready. I chuckle at this seeing her acting silly like this. I get up as well knowing full well if I haven’t gotten up by the time she’s ready she’ll thrown me out the window, I know this cause on my third day with her she did exactly that. I was lucky there was a river next to the house or i’d have broken something.
Rushing into the shower I undress and bathe for a good 20 minutes seeing as this’ll be my last day at home after recuperating from the attack. I get up and dry off, as i’m taking the towel away to dress the door opens and my Sammy walks in on me not knowing that I was there. “Sammy, Get Out!” I cry in alarm from seeing her standing stock still staring at me as though she’d just walked into a bears lair. That was all she needed to get back to reality, blush profusely and run away. I quickly throw on clothes and chase after. “Get back here!” I yell while after chasing her down the stairs and out the front door where I see her hiding behind a pile of logs by the side of the house. “I know where you are, get over here so I can talk to you”.
The leans out of cover and sheepishly walks over to me where I stand red in the face from embarrassment and anger. “I’m sorry, I thought you were dressed so I came right in. Please don’t punish me it was an accident!” she pleads. I have no idea why she thought I was going to punish her but I didn’t let that thought stick around too long.
“It was only an accident. I’m sorry for yelling at you, I got surprised when you walked in on me but that doesn’t matter now. Get our bags please. We have a big day ahead”. I state as I head back inside for breakfast and put on my Jacket and Shoes. I can hear Sammy upstairs attempting to drag our bags downstairs which I giggle at seeing that she forgot that she had her abilities to move them. “You know you could always use your abilities to move them” I shout upstairs which i’m rewarded with a load groan in annoyance from her. Eventually we are ready looking at the clock before we leave we wasted about an hour and a half. We take the path into town with Sammy on my shoulder while avoiding the bushes making sure not to disturb the pokemon in there. We make it into town and head straight to the pokemart to buy supplies courtesy of my father I don’t need to pay for anything, I buy a knife and machete for all the really high grass and grab about a dozen pokeballs and potions to go then head outside. To which I find some kid getting harassed by another kid.
Now normally I’d let that go but this kid looked like an ass so stormed right up there and pushed him away from the kid. “Sammy, please restrain this punk for me?” A second later the punk kid is strung up by his ankles and got a gag over his mouth to shut him up. “Thank you”. Sammy just nods at me. Turning to the punk i address him in an angered and annoyed tone. “Now kid, what do you think you’re doing bullying this kid?”
“I-I-I-I I Can’t remember why I did it. I just did”.
“Really well you’re just lucky you found me in a good mood today because I wasn’t I would have my Ralts walk you through town by your ankles in only your underwear, got me clear buster. Leave now and stop”. With that simple statement I had Sammy drop him and we walk away back out of town and after a pokemon to add to the team.
“Rob, what pokemon are you gonna be after?” Sammy inquired of me.
“We’ll be working at getting you stronger today. Now lets go”. With that I step into the forest with Ralts sitting on my shoulder. I look to my left then my right and see a trainer and a load of grass and trees. “That’s where we need to go. Only bugs should be in here so it’ll be a breeze”. After a few steps in we notice a caterpie crawling through the grass and decide to battle it, I let down Sammy and call out to the Caterpie getting its attention to come over. I initiate the battle by telling Ralts to use Confusion, Sammy powers up confusion making her eyes and hands glow blue and the Caterpie to be surrounded by the same glow, picked and thrown into a tree, the Caterpie throws itself at Sammy trying to use tackle but is picked up by confusion and thrown away again rendering it unconscious.
“Good job Ralts, Lets go”. I then pick up Ralts and move on. We continues this all day until it gets dark. “I think it’s time to go find a place to sleep now?”
“Good idea, you find a clearing to set up camp while I take a nap in your arms”. To this she climbs down and into my arms where I cradle her knowing she is exhausted I don’t argue.
“You did well today, Have a good nap”. I whisper to her as I continue to walk, It doesn’t take long to find a convenient clearing to set up. I carefully lay Sammy down on some soft grass while I take the two man tent from my bag and set up. Before long it’s up and ready for us. I head back over to Sammy and pick her up which wakes her.
“Ugh, I’m hungry” she whines, to which I slime at. Don’t know why I do though, I guess it’s just her making me happy because of her abilities.
“Yeah I’m hungry to, Just gimme a few minutes and food will be prepared”. I quickly take her into the tent for her to nap in till its ready and lay her down. As soon as her head touches the ground she’s out like a light. “Well you’re a lot more tired than expected” I muse as I pull out a few bags of two minute noodles - for those who haven’t had it before, you’re missing out - and set up the camp fire and grab a pot of water to fill but there isn’t any water left.
Mumbling to myself on being stupid I walk into the forest in the search of water with pot in hand. I don’t get far before hearing rustling in the bushes, I look over and see a baby poochyena crawl out of the bushes looking as though it hasn’t been fed in ages. It looked pathetic so I had to help it, I picked it up to it’s surprise and tries to get away but gives up after seeing that I won’t let go just stares at pathetically. “Hey there little guy, you don’t look too good. How about you come with me and we can get you fed and somewhere to sleep”.
The hungry poochyena smiled tiredly and falls asleep in my arms. I sit the pup in my backpack that I was carrying with me and continue in the search for water, I find it a minute later and fill my water bottles and the pot with the refreshing liquid to take back with me. The rest of the walk went without incident as I get back to the camp seeing Sammy still asleep. I take my bag off and grab out the poochyena pup and put in the tent as well letting it sleep next to Sammy seing no danger in it.
I turn back to the fire which has yet to lit and got to cooking the noodles.. within minutes the noodles are ready and enough doled out for Sammy and I are put in bowls With the exception of the Poochyena getting pokefood in a third bowl. With that done I head back over to the tent but what I see there made me giggle again from the cute sight of the poochyena cuddling into Sammy. I take a quick picture for print later and decide to wake them up.
Meanwhile with Twilight
It has been a week and Twilight hasn’t gotten far in her research. She still didn’t know what was wrong. “Spike! Have you gotten all the books I need yet!” Twilight calls downstairs where Spike is searching high and low for any book related to Time/Space magic.
“Not yet. I can’t seem to find the reference guide to Time/Space magics anywhere!” Spike calls back in a hurry to find that annoying book that he swore was there yesterday. “Twilight are you sure that book isn’t up there with you!?”
“I don’t thi..... Oh there it is!”, This causes the young dragon to faceclaw. “What will I ever do without you Spike”.
Back with Rob and the pokemon
I creep into the tent and lean down to nudge Sammy and the Poochyena awake but the pup beats me to it by making a massive sneeze that nearly makes the Ralts jump out of her skin and have a spaz. She looks over at the aggressor and nearly has a heart attack at what caused it. It was a Poochyena and it was starting to wake up. I but in before anything happens.
“I’ll explain later just come outside so you can eat”. I pick up the hungry, underfed pokemon and walk over to where he/she can eat. “Actually Sam, Can you ask the pup whether it’s a boy or girl?”
“Ugh, sure”. After a quick chat with the hungry pup I get my answer in a gruff annoyed manner. “It’s a she”.
“Oh goody”, Clapping my hands, “I haven’t got any males yet”. I say in a sarcastic tone, I can see it now. I’ll be riding the P.M.S train for the rest of my life... or until I get a male pokemon to hang with. We all finish eating around the same time, to which Ralts crawls back into the tent and the pup falls asleep where she stands. I go and pick her up and bring her into the tent with us and lay her down. I climb into my tent thinking over what has happened recently and hope that things don’t change for the worse..
(Oh boy you have yet to meet your true adventure. Then the fun begins)
