A New Tale Of What The Future Holds

Chapter 22: A New Tricky Friend!

*On a long dirt road, just a few miles outside of Coumarine City*

Nash and Lucario walk side by side, Carmin to Lucario's right, and Buck to Nash's left

Nash: So far is it to Kota City anyway?

Buck: About a three day walk. Sooner if we wake up early in the mornings.

Carmin: I wonder what Kota City looks like. I bet it's cool!

Nash: I can't wait for my sixth Gym Badge! Hahaha!

Buck: You always say that, you know that right?

Nash: Yeah, and I also wanna catch another Pokémon at some point.

Carmin: You already have a good amount though.

Nash: Yeah true but I don't have that many Kalos Pokémon. The only ones I've got are Chestnaught and Frogadier.

Buck: Why's that matter?

Nash: Dunno. It feels odd to have less Kalos Pokémon then I do of Pokémon from other regions.

Carmin: Come to think of it, doesn't your brother have a bunch of Kalos Pokémon? I could've sworn he had a few when we last saw him.

Nash: Nope. The only Kalos Pokémon we saw he had was his Goodra.

Carmin: Oh.

Buck: You can't pick and choose what Pokémon you encounter. You're just gonna have to leave it up to fate.

Nash's stomach starts to growl and Lucario sighs

Carmin: Is lunch apart of fate?

Nash: Well duh. Let's eat! Hahahaha!

Buck: Food and battling seems to be the only things on your mind.

Nash: Not true at all.

Carmin: Stop lying blueberry.

Carmin giggles a little after saying that

Nash: Blueberry?

Buck: I think she's talking about the blue edges of your hair.

Nash: Oh you wanna go there Blondie?!

Carmin: What was that Blueberry?!

They butheads and Lucario sighs while placing its paw on its face and shaking its head

Buck: First it was Moria and Carmin bickering, now them.

Lucario: Ca.

Nash and Carmin: Stay out of it!

Buck: Not even doing anything wrong here. Just making an observation.

Lucario sighs again then its ear twitches, Lucario starts growling and looks around

Nash: Lucario, what's wrong?

Carmin: Something's coming, it's definitely a Pokémon. I call dibs on catching it!

Nash: No, me!

Carmin: You keep catching everything! Let me or Buck have a chance!

Buck: Well if you're saying to give me a chance too, then I should definitely get to catch whatever is coming!

Carmin: Ladies first!

Buck: You caught an Absol a few days ago! It's my turn!

A Zorua jumps out from a tree and lands on Bucks bag, then rips it open, taking a rice ball out of it and jumping down. Everyone looks at the Zorua who starts snickering at them
