Pokemon: Alexandrite & Topaz

Chapter 18: Yellow

"Isn't it getting pretty dark?" Hikaru questioned, looking at the sky. Sentoki and Kimyona looked at it too and agreed.

"Hey, why don't we have a camp out? I mean we're always in lodging in the Pokemon Center," Kimyona said, "Wouldn't it be nice sleeping with nature?"

"Yeah, it would be nice," Sentoki added. They looked over at Hikaru. Her reaction was the exact opposite of what they thought it was going to be. Instead of her usual cheering and tossing Pichu, she looked more... disappointed.

"Something wrong, Hikaru?" Kimyona asked, concerned.

"Look, we know you promised that you wouldn't do things on your own but you don't have to take things so seriously," Sentoki said.

"It's not that. It's just that..." Hikaru began to say.

"Just what?" he asked, getting annoyed.

"I hate the outdoors," Hikaru pouted.

"Hate it? How can you hate it?" Kimyona asked, "Don't you like the the smell of the trees or stargazing at night?"

"I just don't like it," Hikaru pouted some more. Pichu could read to situation so it decided to tell them why Hikaru hates the outdoors.

"Pichu. Pichu, pi. Chu, chu." Sentoki and Kimyona nodded their heads.

"Pi, pi, pichu. Chu, pi."

"I see," Sentoki said, "THE HELL I DO! How can I understand a freaking Pokemon?"

"Perhaps I could help," The voice belonged to a teenage girl with blonde hair. She had a Pikachu with her.

"How?" Kimyona asked.

"I can understand Pokemon."

"Understand Pichu? What are yo-" Sentoki got cut off by Hikaru. "Wait. A blonde haired girl who has a Pikachu with a flower in its hair. Could you possibly be...Yellow!" Hikaru was screeching with excitement.

"Um, that's right," Yellow said taken aback.

"Oh my gosh! Pichu, it's Yellow! A Pokedex Holder from Kanto. She's the only trainer with the original Pokedex," said a fangirling Hikaru who was cheering and hugging Pichu.

"Oi, Hikaru. Didn't you say that you wouldn't do that to Pichu anymore?" Sentoki scolded.

"No. I promised not to toss it in the air. I'm only hugging it," Hikaru said matter-of-factly.

"She's right, you know," Kimyona confirmed. Sentoki sighed, "Whatever."

"Is something the matter here?" Yellow asked?

"It's nothing you need to concern yourself with," Sentoki said coldly.

"Sentoki! You shouldn't be rude," Hikaru scolded, "We are talking to a Pokedex Holder, you know."

"So what? We have Pokedexes too."

"You do?" Yellow asked.

"That's right," Sentoki said while taking out his blue Pokedex. Hikaru took out her red one and Kimyona, a green one.

"You guys really do have them. If that's the case, would you like to camp out with me?" Yellow pointed in the forest, "I have everything set up. I just need a fire."

"Charmeleon and I can help," Hikaru suggested.

Yellow smiled and she led the trio to her camp site. She was right. She did have everything set up: from sleeping bags to a tent. There was a pile of wood in the center of the site. Hikaru commanded Charmeleon to use Ember and covered the wood with a blanket of flames. It slowly got darker as everyone sat around the campfire and talked.
