Just starting off... (Pokèmon Fanfic)

Chapter Twenty-One

It was about 8 in the morning and I didn't go to sleep after that battle. Not to say I'm tired; on the contrary actually. I have more energy than before. Feeling like taking out Giovanni right now. Plus, that doesn't count the energy I burned on my morning run.

Ever since the battle, I have ran, stretched, showered, and I'm currently making breakfast. Grandma taught me a thing or two about cooking before I left, making it slightly easier. I made eggs and bacon for everyone this morning. Am I getting ahead of myself here? Nah!

Hmm.. maybe I could spar with Hitmonchan later. Or play a game with my little sister like old times. Or I could train with Dex to train up my Pokémon. Or maybe spend some time with Liz. Or... Or... Hehe... maybe I am getting ahead of myself.

"Ryver, are you okay?" Jade said.

"Couldn't be better," I reply. "Just need to calm down is all."

"That's good," She said. "I know you were down in the dumps yesterday."

"Really?" I reply, thinking back to yesterday. "Oh yeah, I guess I was."

"Yeah," She says in a tone that makes it sound like she's suspicious of me.

"Want some food?" I asked.

"Sure," She responded. "Are you sure you're okay?" She feels my forehead.

"I'm fine," I reply. "You don't need to worry about me."

"Big bro," She said. This is the first time in a long while since she called me that. "I will always worry about you."

This hit me right in the heart. "Jade, thank you." I think I started to cry a little.  I remember when I left home.  She was in tears that day too because we wouldn't be able to play again.  When I walked away, I knew that, but I was so set on becoming the best.

"Hey," I say.  Jade looks up at me.  I hug her suddenly.  "Wanna play a game?"

I can feel her perk up.  "Game? Like before you left?"  She asked excitedly.

"Yeah," I responded.

"Let's play a Love Live game!" She was sure getting hyped for this.  But ... can you blame her?

I ready my old characters for these games, such as Asden, Ren, and Tero.  She plays with Crystal, Rie, and Alten.

"Alright, you ready?" I asked.

"Yeah!" She said enthusiastically.

"Alright, where to start?" I asked myself.

"Why don't we start where we normally do?"

"I don't see why not."

I sat back as I imagined the scene that usually started our little RP's: the beach.

As we progressed through the story, both Liz and Dex had awoken from their slumber and listened to the story. I think they got to into the story because I looked over once and it looked like they were actually interested in the story.

When we finished the story, which had taken up most of the day, my sister was still over joyed.

"That was a great story Ryver," Jade said. "You make some of the best stories!"

"You're just saying that," I countered.

"No," Liz cut it. "It really was a good story."

"Yeah," Dex interjected. "Where did you get story telling skills like that?"

"From doing these," I replied. "You guys want to join next time? We can help you make characters."

"Sure," Liz said, smiling. "I would like that."
