Chapter 17: Remembrance

How would you feel if you lost really bad at something? What would you do? Well, in this chapter, there's going to be a flashback of some sort and the next chapter won't really be a chapter. I'll do some character bios for the heck of it. Enjoy guys! ^.^

Troppy flew above Mauville City and she landed on the other side of the stretch of water near it on route 119. I hopped off her back and sent everyone else out to heal them. As I fed them berries and herbs I started feeling something, like something was missing. I thought of the strong trainer and who it could be, then I realized that it was in front of me the whole entire time.

"Sapphire? What's wrong?" Kipz asked.

"Oh, I was just remembering the strong trainer who came into my dad's gym a few months ago," I answered.

"You still on that, huh? Oh come on, its so obvious! Get your head back out of the clouds!" Crimson smirked.

"I know who it is! Its Steven!" I yelled at her.

"Yup, wow. I can't believe you didn't realize it when he saved you back at Granite Cave."

"Well I knew he looked familiar, I guess I find it easier to remember people if I know their names."

"What are you two talking about?! I don't know anything at all! Could you explain to me what's going on here?!" Kipz yelled.

"We weren't there, I can say that," Troppy said.

"Yeah, and shouldn't we get training?" Paige asked.

Paige was right, we should be training. We had to get strong and fast in only a few days. It irked me though since not only was my dad coming, my birthday would be coming soon too. I was glad to have gone on this journey but it would all be for nothing once my dad had caught up to me, so the best thing to do was to train and leave like we had never been there at all.

"Okay, we'll get training. We'll train as hard as we can until we can't!" I said.

Everyone cheered and we all got to work. As we started I thought about that day, the day when I saw my father loose for the first time. My dad sometimes took me to his Gym so I could watch his Gym battles. A few months ago, in May, Crimson and I decided to train our own special way to show my dad that my training methods were just as good as his.

"Okay Crimson," I said untying my green and white bandana from around my head,"Let's get training while we wait."

"You got it!" she yipped while wagging her tail.

I tied the bandana around my wrist and then Crimson put her nose underneath the yellow frisbee that was sitting on the ground and tossed it up to me. I easily caught it and she dashed across the room.

"Why did you tie your bandana around your wrist?"

"I felt like it. Maybe because its a sign that we're ready," I said holding the frisbee at my side.

"Oh, alright. Let me know when its coming."

I nodded my head and then tossed the frisbee.

"Crimson, use Tackle!"

Right when the frisbee came at her she leaped into the air and hit it sending it flying back. I caught it, spun around and threw it back.

"Now spin and use Tackle!"

The frisbee flew at her and as soon as it came to her she leaped in the air and did a front flip into the frisbee sending it back at high speed. I barely was able to catch it but I did and then I sent it back to her.
