Pokemon Shining Star Chapter 8

Chapter 8-We start our journey

Nobody noticed anything the next day. It's like nothing even happened. We all snuck back in (except Kim, who snuck back into the woods) and acted like we were sleeping. Mom came in at about 7 to wake us up. It was a typical morning. We all talked, ate breakfast, and me and John tried to kill each other. Pretty soon, Tyson came over and we were almost ready to go. We just needed to say our goodbyes.
"Alright sweeties," said my mom, a little red eyed. "do you two have anything you need?"
"Yes mom" I said trying not to sound exhausted, yet kind of sad at the same time.
"Are you sure. Do you have your pokegear, extra cloths, and food for the road?"
"Yes mom. I have everything." I said
"Alright. Promise that you'll call me regularly?"
"Mom I-"
"Promise?" she said in a stern tone.
"Alright I promise." I said finally.
"I watch out for him," said John. "and make sure he doesn't get into too much trouble." after we gave her one last long hug, we set out to Route 30. Next stop Goldenrod.

A few minutes later, we ran into Kim who was waiting for us.
"Hey Kim," asked Tyson "Where are you from?"
"Ecruteak City." she said
"So what were you doing here in the middle of the night?"
"Well," she started "I was coming back from Professor Elms lab, and was looking for a Hoothoot. I wanted to catch one and-" she paused and looked at me. "Weren't you running with an injured Cyndaquill, and Hoothoot?"
"Oh yeah" I said pulling out my two pokeballs. "I caught the Hoothoot last night." I said. She shot me with an angry look, when Tyson cut back in.
"What were you going there for? To get a Pokemon?"
"No, I actually had it for some time already. I just wanted to register for the Pokemon League, and get a pokedex."
"Do you have any badges?" asked Tyson getting a little wide eyed.
"Just one." she said pulling out a Zephyr badge.
"Aw cool." I said looking at the Badge.
"eh, I could beat you." said Tyson with a smug look on his face. That wasn't the greatest thing to do.
"What?" she snapped back looking kind of mad.
"I said me and Todidile could pound you into the dirt." He taunted.
"Yeah, you couldn't even beat Robert over here." said John. "He stands more of a chance."
"Hey, once I'm done with her, I'm beating Rob, and then you." he said trying to sound really intimidating.

"Alright" John the 'referee' said "this is a one on one match. Are you two ready?" they both nodded and pulled out a poke ball.
"Alright Todidile show em who's boss!"
"Sneasel, let's do this. You have the first move kid."
"Alright, Todidile, use water gun!"
Todidile opened his mouth, and let out a of water. Sneasel didn't move at all, but just stood there.
"Sneasel, dodge and use Taunt." said Kim. He only side stepped, and snickered. Todidile got mad, and used another water gun. Sneasel ducked, and snickered some more. Todidile got even madder, and started shooting off more water guns. Only a few got close to hitting him, the rest were stray shots and hit trees. Some got close to hitting me. Soon, Todidile got tired, and stopped.
"Now Sneasel, use quick attack." she said. Sneasel sprang forward at a blinding speed, and tackled into Todidile with such force, it knocked him back, and right into a wet tree.
"No! Todidile, get up!" shouted Tyson. He struggled a bit, but Todidile got up.
"Alright! Use scratch!" Todidile got up, and charged straight towards Sneasel.
"Please, a head on attack? Sneasel, end this. Dodge and use scratch." While he was charging, Sneasel simpilly waited until he was 2 feet away. Then, he jumped into the air. Todidile missed, and hit a tree, getting it's claws stuck. Sneasel landed next to him, and scratched him across the chest. Todidile stumbled across the ground and fainted.

"Todidile is unable to battle. The winner is of course Kim." said John.
"Ha! What was that you said about me not standing a chance?" asked Kim. Tyson walked over, and picked up his Todidile.
"You just wait! I'm going to get stronger, and beat you!" He grabbed his stuff, and ran off.
"Wait. Where are you going?" asked John.
"TO TRAIN!" He yelled as he was getting out of sight. John and Kim said something to each other, and ran off. I figured that I would follow them in a minute, but now, my eyes feel dry. I'll close my eyes for a second, and catch up. Then, everything went blank.
