Pewter City

The man gulped and started at him back blankly as if he were captured in his stare.
"I'll just give it to you as a gift then."
He returned it to it's pokeball and handed it to him
Magicarp lv. 5 male
Tackle
Splash.

Then he reached for another pokeball.
"I think This'll fit you better"
A shellos emerged from the ball
"This here is a shellos from the far away region of Sinnoh."
He petted the shellos then looked at the trainer
"he can be yours for a cheap 1500 pokedollars."

Mikona put away the Magikarp; He knew about the Gyarados, but didn't know how to deal with one. He might train it later on, though. This one, however...

He only had the Kanto and Johto Pokemon in his book. It looked like a water type or a normal type... Maybe it can take hits? Mikona shook his head mentally. This wasn't the right way to go about things. The Shellos, as it was called, wanted to be picked up. To be strong. Mikona looked at it for a bit then spoke.

"Alright, I'll have her." He handed the money to the salesman. "It's been good dealing with you."

Mikona walked away putting his spoon away finally, letting the pink Pokemon slink across the ground. It seemed shy and afraid. Mikona picked it up and smiled at it like a mother of sorts, his softer side coming back. "You can be... Ekitai."

The newly christened Ekitai had a mile-wide grin as she hugged her trainer. Kagami, who was flirting with a local trainers Machop, came back and talked telepathically to the Sinnoh pokemon. 'Female,' The Ralts said, 'And she was very lonely until you came along.' Mikona nodded and held the Shellos like a baby, right to the Pokemon Center where he deposited Magikarp to Someone's PC. Not many knew who "Someone" was, but those who did said he was trustable.

Feeling happy about his new pseudo-family member, the psychic decided to look around Route 3 again, maybe find an item or two.

[Exit to Route 3]

A bit bored of the city, Mikona decided to take a closer look at the infamously small Route 2. The devil is in the details, after all.

[Exit to Route 2]

I pointed down at the city toward flygon.
"Right there Fly-kun!"
He Nodded as we landed
"Good job return"
[SFX: Telephone ring]
I pulled out my pokegear and saw that mikey was calling so I pressed answer.
"Hey Mikey-kun. Good afternoon."

"Nice to know bu-----"
[SFX: Click Click]
"Oh hang up on me." I chuckled a bit and stared walkinng towards the pokemon center.

Mikey have landing In Pewter City and said" I am back. Mikey have saw Sliver And said" Sliver what up my friend and how you been.

Mikey follow Sliver into the Pokemon Center And said" Sliver how you been my friend.

I was about to enter the Pokemon center I felt Some one tug on my clothes I turned around and saw it was Mikey and I chuckled a bit"
"Wow You Sure Explored Kanto quickly." I joked

Mikey said"Well can't blame me i came here to see some good battles and talk to my old friend misty".

Mikey said to sliver" I will show you." Mikey pull out a locket with a Pic with His dad Tommy Knight, Misty and A Young Mikey.Mikey said to Sliver" Well you like the pic i show you?

"ahh I see good battles." then I had a confused look.
"well if you wanted good battles why didn't you stay back at the gym?"
I asked as I looked puzzled
Then I looked at his locket. oh that's neat

Mikey said to Sliver" Hey Sliver I buy you Lunch how you like that my friend and we can chat about what we did over the years and even how the 2 of us became friends.

I smiled
"Ok sure. where do you want to go?" I asked him

Satoko's Journey

After a long trek back from Mt. Moon, I walked back into town. Strange, though. It was much quieter than before. As I walked I noticed a crowd of girls swarming outside of the Pokemon Center. They were squealing and shrieking something like "Silver!" or something. Still, it was annoying as they were blocking the door.

"Hey!" I shouted. "Some of us need our Pokemon to be healed!"

My shouting did little to make them move. I shrugged my shoulders and instead started pushing my way inside. The other girls didn't care or even notice. Soon, I made my way inside as I collapsed on the ground. There I saw two guys, around Fushi's age, talking. They don't seem to notice me yet, so I instead sat aside, listening.

As we were about to leave I turned around and I saw horde of Fan Girls swarming me and I screamed
"FAN GIRLS RUN FOR COVER!"
but they were too quick and they blocked the door so I couldn't escape.
"alright alright I'm here for you ladies one at a time." I said blushing deeply.
then after about an hour I finally satisfied I noticed one girl that collapsed and I ran over to her and I handed her a soda.
"Are you okay you seem like you just completed a decathlon." I said in almost a concerned tone.

Mikey was looking at all the fan girls that sliver is geting. Mikey said" He love it". Mike said to Sliver" come on friend There this place i know that make the best Pokepizza Ever come on".

I looked up from my collapse on the floor to see a guy, around the age of Fushi. I admit he looked handsome, but not like Mikona. Alot like a bishounen or someone with fangirls always surrounding him. He held up a soda to my face like he was offering it.

"Are you okay? You seem like you just completed a decathlon." He said. He seemed concerned, but still something seemed odd about him. Somewhat creepy.

"Uh...thanks," I replied as I reached my hand for the cup.

Suddenly, a voice spoke in my head

"There's a time and place for everything, including boys. But not now. Not this guy."

It sounded like Fushi. I think he said something like that once. I pulled my hand back.

"My big brother said not to trust strangers. Especially ones that look pretty and offer drinks" I declared as I glared at him.

I was kinda confused at how the girl thought I was Kind of wierd.
"What's wrong? There's nothing to be scared about." I said
Then I laughed a bit when she called me a stranger.
"I'm not stranger, Kid. Me and your Brother are really good friends." I declared as I smiled a bit and looked back at her. See I'll Even prove it to you."
Then I took my gloves off and my left hand revealed a tattoo of a dragon eating it's tail, and my right hand was metal.

I jumped back a bit when I saw the tattoo on the strange man's hand. An ouroboros, the snake biting its tail to symbolize eternal life. This somehow shocked me more than the metal arm.

I remembered Fushi mentioning someone like this. A guy with a metal arm and a tattoo of a snake biting its tail. Fushi said he was a nice guy, a bit odd though. Overall, Fushi warned me of his "prettiness". I can see what he means by the hordes of girls earlier. Still, he didn't deny that the two were friends.

"So...you know Fushi?" I asked, still glaring at him.

"Yeah, I know him. He's a fellow Elite-Four" He replied, flashing this warm smile.

I start drinking the soda he offered me, thinking that maybe he can help me find Mikona.

I chuckled a bit when the girl jumped back as I opened my bags key items pocket and put my gloves in there.
"What's wrong? does my ouroboros scare you that much?" I said with kind of a confused look.
"Hell yeah I know Fushidara." I said as I smiled and chuckled.
"Me and Him go waaaay back."
Then I opened my eyes and looked at her, with a "w.t.f. look"
"Is there something on my face? what's with the glare, kid?"

Still skeptical of him, I ask, "Have you seen a guy with white hair somewhere? Quiet and with a very bold Ralts?"

I shrugged.
"have you checked the gym I heard him talking about how he needed his 'partner' for his gym match with the leader." I replied.

I perked at the idea that Mikona's already at the gym. "Thanks, creepy friend of Fushi!" I shouted as I bolted to the door. Maybe he wasn't such a weirdo after all, aside from the automail arm and the tattoo.

Nevertheless, the idea of seeing Mikona again fluttered in my mind as I sprinted as fast as I could.

I noticed the kid was about to leave so I said after I heard her call me creepy.
"The Name Is Greed, Kid." I said as I saw her leaving. then I Looked at my pokegear and found fushi's name and touched call.
[SFX: Ring Ring]

Teleporting from Viridian, he put his hands up, not really used to the teleport. As such, his grasp of the spoons went away, the spoons going back into his pocket.

"O-Oh dear! I-I hope I didn't-" His mind then went to a halt as Satoko sprinted headfirst into him, Ekitai and Kumo dropping to the floor with said Psychic. His eyes went into a spiral, Kagami in the background doing a catcall from the position.

Rounding the corner to the Pewter City Gym, I ran headfirst into a guy. White hair that I wouldn't forget anywhere. It was Mikona! His eyes were in a daze after a collision like that.

"Haha, sorry about that, Mikona. I was in a hurry to find you so we can take that gym challenge." I apologized.

I held his hands and helped him on his feet. He still didn't say a word and avoided looking at me straight. Is he seriously this shy? Maybe that's something I can change later.

All the while, I didn't notice Kagami use Psychic to sneak Riolu, Rattata and Clefairy outside of their Pokeballs.

After she helped him up, The psychic got out of that silence. That hurt... "I-Its fine..." He damned his mouth for not keeping up. Rubbing the back of his head, not really caring about the bruise, he laughed nervously. "H-How are you?"

In the background he never really noticed Kagami hitting on Riolu, Ekitai talking with Clefairy and Kumo and Rattatta messing with his puzzle cube.
