Find my courage (Pokemon fanfiction)

~2 New bonds

As soon as the clock hit 9 I was eagerly dragging Jake out the door, trying not to jump around to much on the raft like platform on which Jake's house sat, Milly following behind. I'd always thought it was amazing how his entire house had been built on the ocean, you could walk out the door and fall in the water or be pushed in as I loved doing to Samurai. Jake and Milly could navigate the log pathways with ease while I fell off just as easily. Despite my realistically tiny strength, Jake allowed me to drag him out the door where Reshiram was waiting patently, using the pathway as a perch while it preened its feather like fur. It looked up at us as we exited Jake's home, raising it's head regally while waiting for us to climb aboard for the journey to Littleroot Town, where would begin our journey through Hoenn and where Milly would apparently get her starter Pokemon. I didn't actually have a Trainer ID so I wasn't allowed to get a starter Pokemon but in a way, I guess that could be a good thing. I only had one spare spot in my team so not being able to get a starter left my final space open to a world of options, literally there were... Only Arceus knows how many Pokemon their were in the world.

Samurai followed behind us, keeping an eye on me I case I fell in the ocean again. Angel was riding on Gummie's head as usual, the two had become best friends over the time they spent together. Gardenia was last out the door, carrying my bag I'd accidentally forgotten. Hmm... That's four... Where'd Miku go?

Come to think of it... I haven't seen her since she went to wash the berry juice of herself... Oooooooops...

:Umm... Guys... Anyone seen Miku?:

~Are you serious Paige?~ Samurai groaned.

:Uuuuuuh.... If I say no will I still get in trouble?: I reply with an awkward smile.

Samurai groaned and face palmed.

"What happened?" Jake asked, not being able to understand my side of the argument.

~Paige lost Miku again.~ Samurai replied, rolling his eyes and returning inside followed by the rest of my Pokemon.

Jake is rolled his eyes before ruffling up my pink hair. "Of course you did." He followed my Pokemon inside.

It took half an hour for us to find Miku buried under a pile of laundry, fast asleep. So thirty minutes after our original planned time we were all outside with all our stuff (and all my Pokémon) we climbed on Reshiram's back.

Jake had caught the Vast White Pokémon back in Unova before his battle with N. Although the White Stone had been mine, which I'd stolen for Ghetsis after a sudden interest I'd gotten after I first seen it, the Stone only seemed to react to Jake so I'd given it to him so he could use it to battle N. However, I'd stopped the battle between N and Jake because I didn't want two of my best friends getting hurt for no reason and I'd also convinced N that people and Pokémon could live together harmoniously. He'd been tricked by Ghetsis into thinking that all humans abused the power of Pokémon and because of this, he wanted to liberate all of them. N had often told me about this but he'd always been sure to remind me that whether or not I agreed was up to me since Ghetsis had always tried to take away my ability to think for myself by using fear to influence my choices but N had quickly stopped this be continuously reminding my that the choice was mine and I guess that's what inspired me to stop with battle between N and Jake. After using Samurai and Gardenia's psychic abilities I'd been able to project my thoughts into others minds so N and Jake could hear my thought's like Samurai and Gardenia could and convicted them to stop, N ended up forfeiting the match to Jake and putting a stop to the entire battle.

I returned my Pokémon besides Angel because she enjoyed the thrill of flight. Jake climbed onto Reshiram's back before extending a hand to assist me climbing onto Reshiram, despite this I still had trouble pulling myself onto Reshiram who was significantly larger then Tutie-fruitie. I was about to slip off again when I felt something firm yet furry beneath my feet. I looked down to see Reshiram lightly lifting me with it's snout until I was seated behind Jake, I smiled at it and lightly pat it's head to show my thanks.
