Pokémon Red (Book 2)

Is That A Mew ?

Red's POV

'Where were you ?', asked Lyra, angrily. 'Do you know we were looking for you, just to know that you were roaming around like that'.

'You don't have to shout', I said. 'Someone wanted to meet me.....wait, where's Eevee ?'.

'And now you care about Eevee ? Well, you said you didn't want him, so I'm his trainer now', said Lyra, showing me a Pokeball, which I figured was now Eevee's.

'Don't joke, please', I said, walking a few meters away.  

'Hey, what's up with you ? You did wanted the Eevee didn't you ?', asked Lyra.

'Well, yes I did', I said. 'Why didn't you ask me first ?'.

'You didn't tell me that you wanted the Eevee, if you did, I would've given him to you', said Lyra.

'What do I do then ?', I asked.

Bugsy was standing quitely in a distance, he walked forward to us and was in a deep thought.

'Lyra could just trade Eevee with Red, he just has to catch a new Pokemon as I know he wouldn't trade any of his old ones', said Bugsy.

'Excellent idea', said Lyra. 'Now you can have the Eevee'.

'No, no. I want to catch it', I said.

By now you would be thinking that why I don't share the little Eevee secret with them. Simple logic, they won't believe me.

I really had to catch the Eevee myself, because if I don't, I don't know what will happen but it will be not good.

'You want to catch it ?', asked Lyra. She fixed her hair gently.

'Well, that's not happening', said Bugsy.

Lyra and Bugsy started walking away.

'Where are you going ?', I asked, still standing at the spot.

'To the gym', said Lyra. 'Why, you don't wanna participate in the league ?'.

'Cherrygrove doesn't have a gym', I said, irritated. And yes I wanted to challenge a gym leader but my lick wasn't too good.

'Oh yeah ? And how do you know that ?', asked Lyra.

'Ahem, Lyra, he's correct', said Bugsy, correcting her. 'General knowledge'.

'So, now what ?', asked Lyra. 'We just continue ?'.

'First, you figure out a way so that I could catch the Eevee', I said. 'Please'.

'But can't you just trade, it'll be easier', said Bugsy. 'Why do you even want to catch it yourself ?'.

'I have my own reasons, now please', I said.

Bugsy and Lyra both had a confused look and then exchanged it with each other.

'Okay. You know what ? Let's go', I said.

Really, there was no point in arguing, maybe if I could just go with the flow, just maybe, I might be able to catch Eevee in Violet City.

'You know, you're acting weird mate', said Bugsy. 'I didn't expect such immature behaviour from you'.

'Hey, what do you mean ?', I asked.

'You know', said Bugsy, as we progressed.

Lyra was enjoying our conversation so much that she threw her ears between me and the cool Gym Leader.

As we walked through the Route connecting Cherry Grove with Violet, Bugsy observed the trees and looked for something, maybe bugs.

And Lyra was leading us, walking a few meters ahead in a victorious confidence.
