Chap 2
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Jren wake up.", Kari said as she rubbed my shoulders. I swatted at what I thought would be a small paw , till I hit a large soft one. I slowly opened my eyes to see a bright light with a blurry tall blue figure standing over me. "Kari is that you?", I asked as I sat up while rubbing my eyes,"What happen?". "Not much, just you jumping out of a window to save us.",she said. "Oh ya, Team Necro Chaos was attacking that Rotom and one of them was coming at us", I said as I flopped back and opened my eyes seeing a Lucario leaning over me "Ah! where is Kari?". "I am right here" said Kari as she stepped back. "How and when did that happen?", I said as I tried to get out of bed only being stopped by the pain in my ankle as it touched the floor. "I think I might be able to help with that one", Nurse Joy said as she walked into the room,"Your Lucario here told me she tried to drag you here only being tiring herself out while tiring and the last thing she said she remembered was thinking about how you have saved her once and when she opened her eyes she was a Lucario. You see Riolu become a Lucario by two ways, they grow into one or the grow a strong friendship with someone. Her thinking about you gave her that push needed." "Yep, so I carried you here to the Pokemon Center and I only dropped you twice!", she said as she grinned. "Now there young man I am gonna need you to stay here in bed till your ankle gets better!", Joy said with a stern voice. "Just how long are we talking about?, I asked. "Just about 4 days.",she replied. "I think I can handle that long.",I said and then she walked out of the room. "You gotta be kidding me, I can't stand sitting still for along time with out doing anything!", I yelled as I flopped my arms out to the side. "Well you are just gonna have to stuff it out, by the way Jren.", Kari said as she walked over to me. "Ya, what is it?" I asked.
"What do you think?", she asked as she put one paw on her hip and the other behind her head.
I blushed and let out laugh and said "You look hot." She whacked me up side the head and put he paws over her face and said, "Oh, you are just saying that!". The four days went by slowly and I tried my best to get out the door and get outside only to be stopped by Kari and carried back to my bed. I am starting to miss my Riolu that I could carry and not the other way around.
On the fifth day Nurse Joy let me go and gave me the "Don't be so reckless" speech.
We only spent 2 days more in Eterna city to face the trainers at the gym and train Kirlia. I decided to avoid the gym leader till I could come across a bird Pokemon or fire type. I rented a bike for two so Kari could stay out of her Pokeball. Along the Bike Path (Route 206) many trainers tried to catch us for a battle and Kari put her legs to work sending us flying down the route, only to end up crashing at the turn to route 207. After being fished out of a tree by Kari we started out way to Hearthome city. We set up camp for the night at Mt.Coronet's base, while I was setting up the tent Kari was sitting on a log fiddling with her ball and she started to seem uneasy,so I walked over to see what was wrong.
"Hey everything ok?", I asked as I set my hand on her shoulder. She jumped as she felt my hand touch her shoulder, "Umm, ya why do you ask?". I sat down beside her and put my arm around her,"Well lets see here you are sitting down messing with your ball and nearly jump out of your fur when I came over, now tell me something is not wrong." She looked over at me and told me about how she was worried on how I acted that night when those mem where attacking that Rotom and asked if I knew who they where. I looked down at the ground and a sad look crossed my face. "Yes, I do in fact know who they are and I knew one of them personally. They are called Team Necro Chaos and they are a evil group who steal Pokemon and will kill anyone in there way." Kari looked back at me and asked if that is why I acted the way I did. "No, if it was only three grunts I am for sure we could have tag-teamed them and won, but there was one with a silver badge on his arm and he was a ranked commander.", I said as I looked up at the soon to be night sky. "Who do you know this about them?, she asked as she moved my arm off of her side.
"Well, back four years ago I had two friends that where twins, Dustin and Jacob. They both went off to become Pokemon trainers and Jacob came back after a year with a rare Pokemon that was not its normal color. Jacob came over to my house one night to show me and a group of masked men busted the door down and told Jacob to hand over the rare Pokemon, Jacob refused to do so and lunged at the man that wanted the Pokemon, he grabbed the guys mask and he pulled out a gun and shot Jacob. As he fell to the floor he tore off the mask only to find Dustin's face under it. The guy behind me knocked me out and they took all of his Pokemon and left, by the time I had woken up Jacob was dead and Dustin with the other men had left. His brother was the one that was in the hall with the badge on his arm, I didn't want you to get hurt, so I decided we needed out and fast.", I said as I got up and walked over to start the fire. Kari just sat there for a few hours before she came over and I handed her some food while I went and pitched the tent. After I was done I turned to her and asked her to put out the fire when she went to sleep. I woke up the next morning feeling two arms wrapped around me. I nearly jumped out of my skin forgetting that my once small Riolu was now a full grown Lucario. I reached over for my Pokedex looking up info on Lucario when I noticed the picture showed a normal Lucario having a spike on there chest where Kari did not. I lay there for a moment thinking to my self about the pain I might be in right now if she had one. I noted to myself to ask Nurse Joy when we make it to Hearthome City about this. "I hope nothing is wrong with Kari."I said to myself as I decided to doze back off to sleep.
I woke up later on some where around noon rolling around I realized that Kari had already gotten up, so I got dressed and put on my lab coat and walked out of the ten sqwenting my eyes at the bright light from the sun. Kari turned over to me as I waked out of the tent and she asked how I slept and I teased her about her fur being so warm, she got ticked and told me I would have to catch my own lunch. After spending two hours trying to catch a fish from a stream a good ways off the path, I had to give up and just grab a fruit chewy bar that I had stashed in my bag for those days I stink at fishing. I pulled out my map and located the two paths on the map that we could take to Hearthome City. One of the ways we would have to go into a cave leading to the other side of Mt.Coronet and the other we would have to take the hikers trail around the side.
around this time of afternoon the cave would have no light and chances are we would be attack by zubats if we tried to stumble our way in there, so at times like this I regret not having a Pokemon that knows flash. After looking over the trail on the map and checking the weather on my Pokegear I decided the best thing to do would be to take the trail and go around, even so we would have to set up camp and a dark cave is not the best place. Seeing as how the bike was totaled from from the crash the other day we decided to leave it behind since I now had lost my deposit on it. After packing up the tent we made our way up the trail only stopping right before night fall to start a fire and pitch the tent. The path had lead us sorta high up and we where surrounded by pine trees and both sides of us. I could feel it getting colder as it got dark and stayed close to the fire, about a hour after we had set up camp my Pokegear's alarm went of and announced a major cold front was heading in on route 207 and 208. After hearing this I grabbed my bag and set it in the tent since being kinda high up it was likely to snow. As it got nine o'clock the temperature was already down to 30 degrees and Kari and I both where curled up in sleeping bag, I could hear her shivering from the cold, so I turned and offered her to come and sleep with me so we could keep each other warm. "n-n-nah, I am o-o-k", she said as she shivered from the cold. "Come on I am not gonna bite, besides if we get any colder we are gonna get sick",I said as I rolled over closer in my sleeping bag. After thinking it over she got out of hers and I gave her some room to get in and she unzipped her sleeping bag and laid it over the one we where in. I rolled over with my back facing her and she wrapped her arms around me and I could feel her breathing as she started to doze off. The sleeping bag got warm from both of our body heat and I fell asleep some where after she did.
I woke up the next morning with a paw in my face and Kari mumbling some nonsense about chimchar taking her cookie. I moved her paw out of my face and looked over at her, I couldn't help but notice that she beautiful when not teasing me. I leaned over and kissed her on the forehead and slowly got out of the sleeping bag trying not to wake her up. I unzipped the tent flap and peaked my head out to see 2 feet of white snow on the ground. I pulled out my Pokegear and looked up to see if there was a Pokelodge near ger. A Pokelodge is sorta like a Pokemon Center , but only found up in the mountions where it tends to have bad weather a lot. To my luck I found that the closest one was just about half a mile away from here. I woke Kari up the only way I could think to tell her it snowed and wake her up at the same time..... I scoped up a nice big of snow and patted it into a ball and tossed it at her, and to her disamay she jerked awake while shouting "It's cold! It's cold!". I could hardly keep myself from laugh and before I knew what hit me she slapped me upside the head and yelled, 'It's not funny you dim whit!". She looked out the tent and took in the sight of the trees colored white with snow and the pure white wonder land. She looked back at me and asked what we where gonna do next. "Well there is a Pokelodge just about a half a mile up he trail, I think think we can stay there till the snow melts and its safe to start back.We packed up and trudged down what we thought was the trail, along the way we saw some stantlers run by jumping in the snow.
As we carried on the snow started to get harder and Kari was starting to slow down.I turned around and said, "Hey Kari I want you to go into your ball now." "No!, I want to stay out here with you!",she said as she gave me a stern look and tried to move faster. "I am sorry its just too cold for you." I started, "I don't want you to get sick, and I will let you out when I get there". She started to fight back, but I pulled out her ball and called her back, and in a bright red beam of light she was gone into the ball. "I know she is gonna be steamed at me when I let her out, so I better hurry and get there so she does not have to spend too much time in there.", I said and I picked up my pace to a run and dashed off down the path. I followed the map on the Pokegear and I started to get pelted by hail and I made it to the Pokelodge half beaten by the hail. I walked into the door to find how huge the place was, it turned out that the lodge was built into the side of Mt.Coronet. The place was a large 3 story wood lodge with 3 fire places just in the front lobby. I walked up to the front desk with a few of the trainers letting out a small chuckle as I walked by, when I made it to the front desk I asked Nurse Joy for a room and she turned around started to say ok when she dropped her clipboard and yelled "Oh, mt gosh what happen to you?" I only looked at her with a puzzling face and asked what the heck she was talking about. She turned and and brought a hand mirror out from under her desk and said, "Here take a look and see for yourself." I looked into the mirror only to see my face with a black eye on the right side of my face. Well I forgot when i first got hit by a piece of hail I looked up out of pure stupidity after I had brought Kari into her her ball ad I got hit by another chunk of ice in the eye. She brought down the mirror and asked me if I wanted some ice to put on it. I turned and told her that I had already had some ice on it. She gave me a card key with the number 132 on it, and I walked up the stairs to the 2nd floor and walked to the door with "132" on it and unlocked it with the card key, I walked in turned on the light to see a small room with a fireplace,bed with a green fuzzy cover,hard wood floor, and I door leading into a small bathroom with a small shower, toilet and a twin sink. I pulled out Kari's ball and tossed it in front of me and Kari shot out of her ball and knocked me onto the bed with her land on top of me. She started off yelling at me about how cramped it is in that ball and when she says she does not want to go in I better not, but she stopped and busted out laughing after she got a good look at me. "What happen to your face". she strained out between the laughing. "What might have happen to you if I had not had called you into your ball." "What did you do get into a fight with a Hitmonchan again over a box of Pocky?", she asked as her laughter calmed down to chuckling. "Hey thet Pokemon stole my last box and you know thats tuff is hard to come by when we travel", I said as I crossed my arms. She started to calm down and laid flat to my chest. I looked her in the eyes and blushed remembering how this might look. She started to chuckle again and said,"Your so cute when you are embarrassed, but I am still mad at your for putting em in my ball." "Well how about I make it up to you?", I asked. "Like how?, she asked back. "Well, I might tell ya if you get off of me first", I said back. "Well if you want it that way.", she said as she got off of me. I got off the bed and took off my winter coat and them my lab coat and laid it onto the bed. "Well, while on my way to the room I saw a sign and it said something about Trainr and Pokemon Hot Spring. She started to jump and asked me if I was kidding. I reassured her and I walked into the bathroom and pulled a pair of swim trunks and a t-shirt and put my lab coat back on. We walked out of the room and down the hall to where I saw the sign. We followed it to the back of the lodge on he ground floor, which by the way was a lot farther then we thought. We made it to the back of the lodge to where there was lined by glass windows and out side of them was a large hot spring. We walked in with the hot humid mist hitting our faces as we opened the door. I took off my lab coat and threw it to the side and tossed Kirlia's ball and she appeared out of a beam of red light. She jumped up and down after she saw me and I turned and picked her up and gave her a hug. "Hey I am sorry I have not brought you out of there in awhile, do you think you can forgive me?" She turned and started to talked to me using telepathically, "Well depends how you are gonna make it up to me.", she said. "Well, how about soaking in a hot spring and me cooking for you and Kari tonight?",I asked back. "Well, I think that will do for now", she said with a devilish grin on her face. I turned around to see where Kari was only to find her already soaking in the hot spring. "You waste no time do you?", I said as I stepped in. "I am gonna enjoy this while I can.", she said back as she sank deeper till the water covered her shoulders and I did the same. Kirlia got in slowly adjusting to the temperature of the water. We spent a few hours in there before Kirlia got tired and went back into her ball. After awhile a few trainers came in with there Pokemon and Kari came next to me and leaned her head on my shoulder and closed her eyes.
A couple of the trainers gave us some weird looks while the others just smiled. Pokemon and human relationships are kinda rare, but not against the law or anything. A lot of people look down on those that are in a relationship with a Pokemon, so I figured that was why we where getting the weird looks or it was my black eye. This only got me wondering about how I felt about Kari and how she felt about me.Chapter End Notes:Well the team name was decided.
I combined two team names that I liked.
If Team Darkrai was not already taken I would have jumped at the idea of it.
Oh well...
Let me know what you thought of this chapter

After awhile a few trainers came in with there Pokemon and Kari came next to me and leaned her head on my shoulder and closed her eyes.
A couple of the trainers gave us some weird looks while the others just smiled. Pokemon and human relationships are kinda rare, but not against the law or anything. A lot of people look down on those that are in a relationship with a Pokemon, so I figured that was why we where getting the weird looks or it was my black eye. This only got me wondering about how I felt about Kari and how she felt about me.Chapter End Notes:Well the team name was decided.
I combined two team names that I liked.
If Team Darkrai was not already taken I would have jumped at the idea of it.
Oh well...
Let me know what you thought of this chapter
