Chapter 1

Chapter 1-

~Rockett's POV~

Silver and I were walking together in the cold snow. I looked down at my ripped jeans and Converse shoes, shivering a bit. I turned to Silver's hand, thinking, I just desperately want to hold it sometimes. It looked so muscular and warm. Silver's probably the only one I can trust right now. Other than my father, and maybe Midnight...

Suddenly a small girl appeared in front of me. She looked a bit younger than me, probably 14. She had long braided brown hair with purple dip-dye and streak. She had a short green skirt on that looked so cold, and a long sleeved  v-neck shirt. And a gray beanie like mine. Her face looked a little worried at first, but then changed into a genuine smile.

"H-Hi!" she said in a nervous voice. "I'm Nicole!" she put her hand out to shake. I was a little confused at first, but I put my hand into her small one and shook nervously, like her. 

"Hi, I'm Rockett!" I said, trying to act calm. Ok, we just need to make up an excuse to get away. Silver gave her an unsure look. I looked at the boy beside her. He had longish black hair and and glasses resting on his stubby nose. A blue coat was wrapped around his scrawny arms. 

Trying not to sound rude, I asked, "Uh, so, why...are you here?"

She looked at me a bit impatiently, then stuttered, "Uh, I- you looked like a strong trainer, and I wanted to battle you...!" 

I thought for a minute, looking at her awkwardly. "Sure, I guess!" I finally said. She would help me train for the wimpy bug type, Bugsy. 

"So, how long have you two been dating?" I asked the two before we started. 

The boy and Nicole stared at each other quickly, shaking their heads nervously and blushing like crazy. I chuckled at their anxiousness

"Uh, we're not dating!" they said quickly in unison. Silver joined me in my chuckles, color creeping up his cheeks, probably remembering when Midnight asked us that.

"Wait! You said your name is Nicole?" Silver questioned the girl. 

"Yeah..." she said quietly.

"Oh my Arceus, hi! It's me, Silver!" the red-head spoke. He hugged the girl. Jealousy began to build up in me, but I avoided the thought.

"Silver! I remember you!" Nicole cheered loudly.

"Uh, Rockett, would you mind if I battled Nicole first? I haven't seen her in so long! She was my rival when we were way young." Silver said excitedly. A tone he's never used with me. But  I guess rivals are a big deal, so I agreed happily.

"But I still want to battle you!" I winked at Nicole and watched them step over to a battlefield. Silver was very cute when he was happy.
