Aoi Lake: A Pokemon Fanfic

Chapter 4: Showdown in Pewter City!

"Wow! This food is amazing!" Aoi eats a rice ball, and Samurai thanks him.

"My mother used to make these, so I have learned a thing or two from her," Samurai explained as Eevee is seen recovering, bandaged up and everything as Aoi's new Beedrill is seen sitting next to it, wondering if it's okay.

"Hehe, don't worry Beedrill, Eevee will be up soon. Still, I am sorry for putting him through all of that. It isn't like me to get too riled up in a Pokemon Battle." Samurai apologies as Aoi shrugs it off,

"It's... No problem. But now I just need to withstand the defeated look he'll give me when he wakes up. Gold and Eevee don't like being in their PokeBalls either." Aoi says as samurai nods.

"Ah... I see. I heard stories but Pokemon being outside of their PokeBalls are quite rare. It's like the Pikachu I met two days ago..." Samurai says as Aoi's eyes widened,

"You met a trainer with a Pikachu!?! Was his name-!"

"Ah yes! What a magnificent and powerful Pikachu it was! It fought to protect its trainer even in dire situations! It reminds me of that Eevee of yours!" Samurai says as he says once again,

"You know... He too has a Pidgeotto AND a Butterfree. His evolved before mine and that is a testimony of his Pokemon's love for him, as there are instances where Pokemon evolve from the love and affection their trainers have for them and vice versa." Samurai states as Aoi looks back to his Eevee...

"Evolution... With friendship, huh?" Aoi comments, that as soon, as Samurai gets up, he wears a white tank top and black shorts.

"What can I get for you before we part ways? Some water? Maybe some Pokemon Food?" Samurai wondered as Aoi says,

"Samurai... If that is your name, I have a question, if you don't mind." Aoi says from the sink while washing his hands, he says,

"Speak. I'm listening." He wondered as Aoi asks,

"Would you like to tag with us? You know, on our journey? We could use some company." Aoi wondered... Samurai smiles whilst his back is turned, before revealing himself,

"... I'd like that, Aoi," Samurai says as Aoi smiles as well,

"T-Thanks! For a second there I'd thought you wouldn't want to!" Aoi happily says as Samurai smiles,

"But... Let us rest for tomorrow... If you truly would like me to tag along... I'd need to say goodbye to this cabin..." Samurai states as Aoi nods,

"I can respect that," Aoi says in agreement, as during the night, Gold and Eevee sleep separately, Gold perched as it snores and Eevee continues to rest while Beedrill is in its PokeBall.

"... Traveling with buddies... Huh..." Aoi thinks about traveling with this boy, who doesn't even seem to have a name, as he thinks... Before smiling yet again...

"I think he'll make an excellent Pokemon Trainer..." Aoi says before he too falls asleep...

...

...

...

The two are seen making final preparations, as Aoi stretches,

"You ready, Samurai?" Aoi wondered as Eevee is well-rested as it gets to know what the seemingly fast past evolution of Weedle has become. It was a bit aggressive but was a happy-go-lucky bug Pokemon. The Beedrill will be a perfect part of the team.

"... Yeah... I think I'm ready... Let's just hope this cabin can house any of the sick and injured while I'm gone." Samurai says as he looks away, wearing his samurai outfit and wielding his sword and leaving his bug-catching net behind.
