The Dance of Black And White「POKEMON」

07 | OUR NEXT MOVE

"U-Um, excuse me,"

White looked up from the floor to see the boy who she once battled in the park before, the same person who was battling Green before her. She frowned at the thought of the battle, knowing how Green made fast work out of her.

It was to be expected, she had to remind herself. Green was a much more experience Pokedex Holder than her. So now she was waiting by the healing stations, a convenient machine which all White had to do was to put Amanda's pokeball inside and wait. It seems she wasn't the only one waiting.

"Oh," she stood up, "Its you" she smiled. "I never thought I'd run into you here,"

"Y-Yeah," the boy stuttered, and then immediately bowed.

"H-Huh?" White was taken aback,

"I-I'm sorry!" he apologised. "I knew t-that you were a-a pokedex h-h-holder," he looked up. "But I n-never warned you a-about P-Paradise,"

White waved her hands around, seeing that he was still bowing. "Ahhhh, no please stop bowing, I never really blamed you for it,"

"But please!" he bowed harder, "I-If t-t-there's anything I c-can make up f-for it...."

Anxiety peaked as white's brain scrambled for a way for him to stand up straight. "Uhh well...then tell me why you're name!" she quickly spoke. She realized that she knew of the trainer, seeing him battle and battling him herself, but it was only his name she didn't know.

The boy stood up immediately to White's comfort. She could already the imagine the lower back pain she would get if she held still bowing.

"O-Oh well, my n-n-name is A-A-Artie," he smiled. "It's n-nice to m-m-meet you,"

The doors slid open and Kris walked in.

"Hey White, just wanted to see if you're pokemon is done" she walked into the room and as if on cue, the machine beeped a chime-like melody, indicating that Amanda was all healed up.

"Well, it is now," she laughed a bit as she went over and took Amanda's pokeball out.

"That's perfect timing, because we have other people we want you to meet," Kris said.

"Other people? You mean other pokedex holders?"

"Mmhmm!" Kris hummed. "And well, it's to finally explain to you about the whole situation we got going on, one that involves Black and Paradise,"

Her eyes widened at the mention of his name.

"So let's go,"

----

White entered the living room, the same large room where she first met Ruby and the others. She noticed that they were all sitting away from a large screen that Silver was standing by, that and the three new familiar faces.

The one with blue hair clasped her hands together. "Ahh, you must be White, welcome," she bowed while slightly raising the ends of her skirt. "My name is Platinum but please, you may call me Platina," she smiled.

"Welcome to our base," the blonde with green scarf spoke. "I'm Pearl, it's nice to meet you,"

"Arn Ire Deea!" the last boy with a red hat spoke, with buns in both hands and his cheeks swollen. White almost laughed at the sight as the blonde boy smacked him.

"Stop talking with your moth full idiot!"

The boy showed signs of struggle before he finally managed to swallow the last of his food. "And I'm Dia!"

"It's great to meet you all," White giggled.

Y clapped her hands together. "Now that we're all finally here, we can finally start the meeting, so makes yourselves comfortable," she announced as White made her way to sofa, sitting on an empty spot as Kris sat next to her.
