Pokemon -OHANA no Monogatari-

Chapter 5: "Chitchat Chitchat Chitchat"

OHANA (緒花)

"... ... ..." I didn't say anything and looking at the random scenery I was staring earlier. Which btw, I wasn't looking at her when I answered her question.

"Oh it's okay, it's okay, If you don't want, I understand. We're not close after all," Her hands are a bit forward and shaking it as she was saying these words.

"It's okay, I can tell you," I said.

"Oh are you sure? If you're not comfortable telling it, it's okay," Mayuki countered.

"Yes it was fun, as well as not," I answered and started to walk.

"And why?" She asked and follows me.

"It was fun because you're doing things what you love," I said while walking.

"As well as not because someone is not supporting you because of their expectations for you," I added.

"Oh," Mayuki said.

Five minutes has passed, Mayuki was very surprised from the story I told her.

We are sitting at some random place nearby hotel where Mayuki's family are staying.

"Also...I want to go on a Pokemon Journey," I added.

And as expected, she was also very surprised of what I just said.

"I want to leave the house," I said.

"I'm so sick of my Dad," I added. "Tonight is my last day of being a Kimono Girl, tomorrow right away, I will start my journey to become a Pokemon Trainer," I stand up and look at a random scenery.

"Wait hang on!" Mayuki said.

"Hmmm?" I looked at her.

"First of all, I'm so sorry to hear about your Mom. Second, do you have any knowledge about taking a Pokemon Journey? If you don't, then it's dangerous. And third, why not follow your father's footsteps this time since you're retiring by tomorrow?" Mayuki asked.

"Too late," I said. "Besides, I'm already 20, it's too late now to learn a new skill," I added.

"But isn't being a Pokemon Trainer a skill too?" Mayuki asked.

"To answer your previous question before that, yes. I have a bit knowledge of being a Pokemon Trainer since we Kimono Girls have to train our assigned Pokemon to perform and battle," I answered. "So the question you just asked has been answered too right?" And I questioned her back.

"Okay. I respect that," Mayuki said. "But, won't you gonna miss your Dad?" Mayuki added.

"Hummph! I'm a hundred percent sure he wouldn't care," I answered.

"Well, good luck with tha---" Mayuki yawns. "--t, I need to sleep now. Thank you for your time, it was an honor to spend time with a Kimono Girl," Mayumi smiled.

"No, thank you." I smiled at her as well. "Thank you for you time, and it was nice to meet a very humble and friendly client," and I bowed.

She bowed as well and bid ourselves farewell.

The next day...

I went to the kitchen to see what my Mom's Snorlax was cooking, it was the usual Onigiris I eat everyday.

"Snor..." Snorlax said while offering me the food they made.

"Where's Dad?" I asked.

Snorlax shrugged telling me they do not know where Dad is.

"Okay. I respect that, but, won't you gonna miss your Dad?"

"Hummph! I'm a hundred percent sure he wouldn't care..."

Those words popped up in my mind all of a sudden.

"Yeah, he really wouldn't care if I leave this house..." I said in my mind.
