Bitter~Sweet 2 Ula'ula Mischief

Chapter.20 Reprogrammed

/ Haaa, haaa, wow for such little guys...haaa...you sure do walk fast. You seriously went into the Haina Desert all on your own, and made it back before I finished hosting the ghost trial?\

Alex, and Sid maintain their defensive stance, unsure of what to make of this strange girl.

Sid? Do you have any clue who this is? -She was the girl on the beach that helped fend off the crazy lady remember?

Oh yeah, with that grey haired guy in the black outfit. Really wish Ribrieen could have seen her. That anchor like pokemon was nuts! - We should stay alert, she's definitely no push over. -

Steen stee steeenee! - Gloo glo glllom gloom glooooom.-  / Aww, sounds like you two are good friends.\  Acerola says with a twinkle in her eyes. 

/ I just wish I knew what you were saying. I'm starting to feel left out. Now what to do with you two? I haven't heard you starting any trouble. 

If anything you seemed to have helped stop more trouble from happening, but neither of you are native to this island per se... Hnnnnnnnn, well how about we take a walk in the direction that you were going then?\

Huh?! She wants to follow us? -It doesn't sound like a bad deal at first. If trainers see us with her, they won't try to make a move on us, and it will save us hours of darting behind trainers to get to the mountain.-

Well it doesn't exactly feel like we have much choice, I don't think we can get far from her before one of her pokemon catches up. I get this weird feeling that she's super strong. Sid just silently nods in agreement.

I mean yeah, but the sun will be setting soon anyway, it's not like the trainers here will be up all night right? 

Sid shakes his head. -To think I was starting to be impressed by you. Have you not been paying attention? They seldom ever leave their post. They are trained by the best to stand in place for days, weeks even without food, sleep, or oh wait, there they go.-

I spin my head around to see the trainers stretch their arms, and walk down the path. Ow my neck! They're leaving just like that!? 

- Honestly the only reason we shouldn't bring her along. is that this might all be a trick to let our guard down.-  You're just going to ignore the fact that half the trainers just left without batting an eye aren't you...

/ You two ok? You certainly love to talk with each other a lot. Are you two close? Oooo, oooo, can I be the flower girl when you get married?\

What the F$%!! Brzzzt...  -Alex? I don't think she was serious. Sigh... (This girl takes some things too seriously.)-

Sorry Sid, I think a nerve in my brain just short circuited. - I'd believe you, if you ever had a brain. Also your eye is twitching, you might want to fix that.- 

Buh...let...let's get moving, we're wasting time. As we go through the grass, we notice a sign up ahead. I recognize the numbers 11, and 12, but everything else is in foreign letters. Hey Sid, can you read that?

-It says we're on Route 12. To our left is Blush Mountain, but it looks like we have to go forward to reach Route 11.-  Blush Mountain? Alex's face turns dark pink. There's no way that's a real place!

- You're not remembering what that girl said did you? - Sh..shut up. I don't think of you in that way to begin with. We're friends, end of story. Second of all, it seems a bit rude to call her "That Girl."

-Well good luck asking for her name, she can't understand a word of what we say. - Then let me show you how it's done.

Alex turns around to face the girl, and puts a hand on her own chest. Hello, my name is Alex. /Oh, are you introducing yourself? It's nice to meet you Steenee. My name is Acerola. I hope you remember it.\  Sid's jaw drops.
