Under the training tree

Hello again, this time I've brought a love story between my favorite Pokémon. For the first time that I publish a love story on this site (the first one is in Spanish), and with established characters, so there could be parts that are out of character. I did my best I could do and this is the result. Enjoy.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Every time Ash Ketchum, a young trainer, completed a trip, with successes and failures, left his companion Pokémon that he had captured during his journeys in the Professor's Oak laboratory, to start fresh a new journey with his partner Pikachu. The trainers' Pokémon who didn't use them were in that place. It was a very spacious green land with many biodiversity and habitats. It had lakes, grasslands, woods, mountains, etc. It was a place that any Pokémon could enjoy, whether resting under the sun or interacting with other Pokémon, such as fighting or play with each other. Ash made several trips through various regions and he had captured and taken care several Pokémon in his adventures. Bulbasaur, Swellow, Totodile, Pignite, Gliscor, to mention a few. They rested in the ranch as their trainer kept traveling to become a Pokémon master.

Two Pokémon he had got on his journey through Unova were Oshawott and Snivy: the first one is the Sea Otter Pokémon, a water type and male; while the second one is the Grass Snake Pokémon, grass type and female. Oshawott was proud, hyperactive sometimes and a little bit clumsy; while Snivy is calmer, serious and reserved. Both of them had their good and bad moments, as many victories as defeats in combat. After the journey of the young trainer Ash, he wanted to leave his Pokémon in the Professor Oak's ranch located in the Kanto region. Since he left Oshawott and Snivy with Oak, both of them went on with their own lives on the terrain.

In a sunny day with some clouds in the sky, Oshawott was walking through the ranch, enjoying the day as he sang happily. He went to a lake to swim quietly, he was playing a lot with Totodile and Gible until getting exhausted, he wanted to relax after all the fuss. The lake he wanted to go was located away from other Pokémon. It took a while but he could arrive. There weren't any Pokémon around there. Once he was there, he jumped into the water for a splash. He floated backwards so that the sun could warm up his face and the rest of the body in the air. The Sea Otter Pokémon was swimming happily as he traveled through the lake making circles. After swimming for a long time, he stopped while floating in the water. The ambient was warm and quiet, very nice. He felt tired and decided to sleep on the shore. He put his scalchop as a pillow and fell asleep.

Nap minutes later, Oshawott felt a noise at a considerable distance. He woke up confused and wanted to know what or who was the one making that noise. He saw that, up a raised hill, there was a Pokémon who was dealing hard blows at a huge tree. He observed carefully to see who it was: it was about Snivy. He hasn't seen her for a long time since they arrived at the ranch. As he used to see her during the trip with Ash through Unova, she mostly likes being alone and away from others. Just by seeing her without other Pokémon around her, the water type felt something for her in the inside. He felt that she needed someone to accompany her, at least to talk to her for a while, because he felt that she was very lonely. So, he walked towards her to talk to her for a moment.

He saw that she was whipping as he approached, using Vine Whip repeatedly at the tree trunk. This made the tree shake a little and the leaves were seeing falling to the ground, the marks of the attacks on the wood were also noticeable. The otter wanted to approach to the grass-type Pokémon, however, something said to him that it wouldn't turn out as expected. She was cold with everyone; she might even ignore him completely. He felt a little fear and shyness inside for Snivy, but he had to be brave to talk to her. He watched as she kept hitting hard and fast before he spoke.

"Hah! Hah...! Haah!"

"Uh... Hello...how's it going, Snivy?"

When she heard and recognized his voice, Snivy stopped for a moment and turned around.
