I held one hand up with a sigh stopping him from asking anymore, “And tell me again why you care so much?” We were leaving the pokemon center and starting back towards Viridian forest, yet Kaz still felt insecure.

                                 About 5 hours ago . . .

In a record of 3 minutes of sprinting I made it to the pokecenter, Chairo and T was not with me, probably taking their sweet time getting here Argh stubborn pokemon I thought as I jog over breathlessly to Kaz sitting on one corner couch with dark circles under his eyes. Someone didn’t sleep well last night I thought to myself.

“Hey Kaz, tell me everything” I took a seat in front of him. “From the beginning?” He asked looking up to me with tired eyes. “Yes, please”

He started. “So after you left I walked around the forest, avoiding all those stupid bug catching trainers and while I was at it, I trained Frost a bit while scouring the forest. Honestly, I saw probably 10 of thousands of caterpies and it was hard work trying to ask for one caterpie that looked pretty much like all of them. ‘

‘And the strangest thing was,-‘ Kaz seemed to pause on this point, as if pondering something “-none of the caterpies seemed to know of another caterpie that had 5 little sisters with no parents. Some probably had 5 sisters with parents, but it seemed as if not one fit the description of Sap.’

 ‘But given, they’re a lot of caterpies so not everyone knows each other but I relatively searched the place you had caught her.’

Wow, that is weird I mused silently to myself

‘Then when the sun was just about to set, I came across a huge patch of grass stretching for at least a mile and I thought, wow, this place is big and that’s when I heard voices drifting over from farther ahead where the patch of grass ended to trees.’

‘They sounded gruff and low, men voices for sure, and they were talking over hushed tones as if they didn’t want anyone to hear’

‘I didn’t catch much of what they were saying but when I got reasonably closer I noticed a guy with a dark uniform and another guy who had dark hair with trainer clothes. The trainer clothes that he wore looks different from ours, as if it was homemade or from another region, not store bought like how mom bought our clothes from the pokemart.’

“Ahh I see” I said softly, feeling a twinge of a debauched feeling. “Did the trainer have any pokemons with him?”

Kaz answer scratching his head, ‘ Not that I could tell. It was getting dark and I wasn’t looking at whether the trainer had pokemons standing next to him or not. Instead I saw the dark uniformed lad carry something in his arms that was moaning weakly, as if in pain.

At first I felt a little embarrassed for eavesdropping and going into someone else’s business, but then the trainer dude saw me just when I decided to leave them alone.’

‘I panicked, not knowing what to do or say to him but he didn’t say anything to me anyways. He just glared at me, then glared at the thing the other guy was holding and whirled around suddenly and just stalked off.

The uniformed guy didn’t see me and was shocked at dark hair dude’s sudden departure. “Hey, wait, what about this?” He had asked while stumbling to catch up. ‘

‘Dark hair dude only glared and pointed violently and growled, “Come on already, if that thing is too heavy for you just drop it and leave it here. Some creature will eat it for dinner”

‘I was shell-shocked by then and when both of them left I let Frost out and we both hurried to the creature lying painfully on it’s side. It was a metapod. Deeply hurt and almost unconscious. Gently I carried him and noticed that he was bleeding all over the place. I told it, “Don’t you worry, we’re gonna get you all healed up soon” It only fidgeted weakly in reply. ‘

‘I tried bandaging him up so he won’t lose any more blood. By the time we got to the pokemon center it was close to midnight and the metapod was super heavy sis, it was like carrying a ton of weights. ‘

‘And that’s about it after I made it to the pokemon center and slept through the whole morning here.” Kaz rubbed his eyes and looked at me. By that time he had finished his little epic adventure story, Chairo and T walked through the pokecenter looking as if nothing was out of ordinary.

Chairo smirked at me and crossed his arms when he met my eyes while T flew up to my shoulder. “Oh yeah, T, this is my twin bro Kaz, Kaz this is T” I made quick introductions.

“So now what?” I asked. “I don’t know.. I think we could call the professor and see what he says.” My heart leaped up at that suggestion, pounding with unease.

“You mean ask that crazy professor oak what we should do about an abandoned metapod?” I asked with annoyance at Kaz. I didn’t feel like Oak could help the metapod. “Then what, you have a better plan sis?” Kaz mocked tiredly.

We sat for some good time trying to figure out what to do when finally I snapped getting up impatient, I just couldn’t take it anymore. Not with my own pokemon I still had to find.

“Kaz, what is this metapod to you? Maybe you should just leave it here in the pokemon center, at least you already saved it from death, nurse Joy can take care of it and it doesn’t matter to us if the trainer comes back or not—“

“OMG sis,” Kaz suddenly exclaimed “You are a freaking genius” “huh?” I blink my eyes in a startled manner. anyone could think of leaving pokemon here in Nurse Joy’s care without having any brain cells I thought sarcastically.

“Of course Nurse Joy could take care of this! All pokemons are registered to their trainers in their trainer cards right?! What if.. what if Nurse Joy can pull up that trainer card?” Kaz was starting to babble like crazy but I slowly started to see where he was getting at and my eyes lit up in excitement.

“Finally we’re getting somewhere”, grumbled Chairo who had been jumping on the couches and annoying the other trainers trying to rest in the room “I’m danged tired of waiting around here”.

Kaz and I walked up to the main desk area where Nurse Joy sat with a shiny black laptop.

“Uh, excuse us Nurse Joy?” Kaz stood in front of the desk. Nurse Joy looked up and smiled, “Oh hi, its you again. What can I help you two with?”

“You told me that the metapod was registered to a trainer and only that trainer could have permission to retrieve his pokemon from you, right?”

“Yes that is right”

“Okay, we were wondering if you have the metapod’s trainer on file? So we could find him and tell him what happened to his metapod”

I crossed my fingers hoping she did and we could finally get out of here. “Hmmm no, I’m terribly sorry, because since this metapod hadn’t come with it’s pokeball, it’s hard to know who the trainer is. However-“

I inwardly groaned, wishing the metapod’s trainer could be found soon

“-I can make an announcement through the speaker around town informing town folks about this metapod so if this trainer you’re looking for is in town right now, he would hear the announcement”

“Oh ok, thanks! I’ll like you to do that” Kaz smiled appreciatively at her. She blushed slightly and reached for the phone. I rolled my eyes at Kaz who was obliviously walking back to the corner couches.

After the announcement had been made, Kaz insisted we wait and see if the trainer would come. Give it a day or two, Kaz had said. I told him that he’ll owe me on this one. Finally Chairo grew tired enough to stop jumping around and was sleeping peacefully curled up next to T, who was grooming his feathers. Several moments later Kaz suddenly whisper harshly, “I think that’s him”

I looked up to see a handsome red and black haired trainer step in with a permanent scowl on his face. I glance over at Kaz who was hiding behind the couch he was sitting in moments before.

“Excuse me miss” came a low even tone, “But I heard an announcement saying you had my metapod?” Nurse Joy stopped typing in her laptop. “Ah yes, give me one second. Feel free to sit somewhere while I get your metapod” She got up and went around in the back.

Throwing looks around he caught my steady curious gaze at him and glared. I didn’t look away but only challenged him with my eyes He seems like a stupid low-life criminal that could care less about his pokemons. Kaz is right, this kid is a butt I thought to myself while noticing Kaz trying to get my attention.

“Psst, Lexi, stop having staring contests with him, I particularly don’t want him to know I’m here to not cause any trouble.” I broke my gaze away reluctantly and sighed asking, “didn’t you want to ‘deal’ with him like you said over the phone call if you ever find him?”

“Yes I do, but not right now, first I want to see how the metapod would react with this guy before I make any moves. If the metapod seems at ease enough, I’ll give him another chance” I nodded considering, “sounds fair.”  

As we were speaking Nurse Joy had returned with a cute looking metapod that still had a bandage around it’s head. “Here you go mister, this metapod is about as good as new, save for its head which may take a week to recover. I suggest not battling with it yet and to wait until it’s fully recovered”

When Nurse Joy tried to hand the dark haired dude his metapod, it suddenly squirmed looking scared and jumped out of her arms falling towards the ground.

Chairo was abruptly there, catching the metapod and setting it down with some difficulty. We all took a breath and I got up quickly, walking towards them and after a moment or two Kaz followed behind.

Nurse Joy was thanking Chairo over and over again, “Good little charmander, if you didn’t save this metapod, it would have broken some bones and gone right back to surgery, I thank you so much!” Chairo only smirked ruefully to itself with pride. I pet Chairo on his head and rolled my eyes at him laughingly, “So it looked like you care for him huh?”

“Yeah whatever, couldn’t have someone get hurt with me around to be able to do something” His words warmed my heart and I gave my first true smile at him today. Chairo shifted uncomfortably unexpectedly embarrassed.

Kaz cleared his throat suddenly and everyone stared at him. He stared at the red-black haired guy with disgust. “You.” Kaz start to say. Dark hair guy raise an eyebrow with surprise. “First of all, what is your name?”

“And why should I tell you?” dark haired guy countered smoothly.

“Well for one, I would like to stop calling you ‘dark haired guy’ or ‘trainer dude’”

Both of his eyebrows now rose with amusement, “Oh really? Ok, guess its only fair that I tell you since I already know you two’s names” He spared a look at me and I only glared back wondering how he knew. By this time Nurse Joy was helping another pokemon trainer and was out of the conversation.

“My name is Xarxes Valinyon.”

Silence met his words. Suddenly I remembered the metapod who was still on the floor. “So um, your metapod, do you have it’s pokeball?” I awkwardly ask.

He look down at the metapod with contempt. “Nah, I already got a few pokemons and I don’t know where this thing’s pokeball went. It doesn’t deserve a trainer anyways, such a weakling.”

I stare at him, shock running through my body. How could he say that in front of this poor metapod? I literally cried inside looking down at the poor thing. It seemed hunched over as if expecting someone to kick it.

 I lean down and pet it, resisting me at first but I sooth it until it looked at me with a calmer façade. Kaz behind me was getting more enraged by the minute. 

When I finally look up from several tense minutes Kaz was red in the face and the Xarxes dude was challenging Kaz with mild cocky look that seem to make Kaz even more pissed.

I stood up brushing my shirt and attempt to pull Kaz from the tension that was serioulsy starting to heat up the room.

“Uh Kaz, we should probably get going now? Don’t you think? This guy doesn’t deserve your anger and we should leave before you do something you regret-“ Kaz violently pulls away from me and jab a finger in Xarxes’s face. To give Xarxes some credit, he didn't even flinch or bat an eye at the sudden movement Kaz made.

“You boy. I want to have a battle with you right now , just so I can crush your stupid ass for leaving a pokemon defenseless dying and then coming back for it after it recovered as if you even cared for it just so you could use it again!”

I felt alarm rising from my body, and said quickly to Kaz hoping to calm him, “Bro, you only got Frost, let me battle him, I have 1 more pokemon than you do.” Xarxes watch us with a narrowed gaze and then grinned maliciously when he saw me glaring at him.

“Fine,” agree Kaz. “Beat the freaking fudge out of him.” I nod grimly hoping my pokemons were ready. I didn’t want to lose them now to this stupid heartless, arrogant trainer. 

I clench my teeth and look straight at Xarxes, “Bring it on buddy”. Chairo and T gather besides me and I felt true loyalty from my team.

He smile wickedly, twirling a pokeball in his hand, “Oh yes, and I shall enjoy every moment of this.”
