Pokémon Red (Book 2)

Sunkern's Picnic

Bugsy's POV

Yellow and I were finally able to find Red and Lyra somewhere west from route 35 standing outside a house with a board that said jewelery store. They were talking to a teenager boy who made a serious expression. Maybe they broke his window.

"Okay, party's over." I said, walking to the shabby old house. All four of them looked at me.

"Bugsy ?" Lyra questioned.

"Yeah, Bugsy. The friend you forgot at the restaurant".

"Uh, same." Said Yellow. We looked at each other. Yellow managed a smile.

"Sorry for that." Red walked a few steps to me. "I was curious."

"Noted. And your curiosity might've separated us." I said.

"Wow, so you do care if we aren't around." Said Lyra, in a rather sarcastic tone. "I'm impressed."

"You don't have to talk like that." Yellow complained softly.

"Okay, then. We'll get going." Red shook hands with the teenager he was standing with. The teenager and the kid walked inside without another word.

"Okay. I'm sorry. Not leaving anyone like that again. Now can we continue were already a month behind." Said Red, trying his best to hide his frustration.

Red was annoyed, I knew it, I've known him for two months now, uh, three. And I know when he's annoyed. But this was something else, he was running from something, from his past. What I didn't know was his past.

I only know that his father died in bus accident. Nothing less, nothing more.

Continuing towards the National Park. Lyra told me about what happened, and I instantly had a theory.

Red's dad was working on the Master Ball. Giovanni wanted the Master Ball in order to catch Mewtwo. Given that Red's dad's body wasn't found, what if he was alive. What if Giovanni planned the bus accident.

I was thinking while walking with my head down. I looked at the ground, not paying attention to anything else.

Suddenly, my jacket's inner left pocket began to shake. I knew what it was but I did not want others to notice. I quickly reached for it and pressed the button.

"Bugsy you all right ?" Asked Yellow.

"I'm fine." I smiled.

Red's POV

National Park - was written on a board. The beauty of the park was charismatic, with green color everywhere along with countless colorful flowers. The aroma...

"Hey guys, why does the air smell like-", said Bugsy, falling down to the ground. "Sleep-powder."

I instantly covered my nose, so did Yellow. I felt sorry for Lyra, she wasn't smart enough to do the same and fell asleep. I looked around for the source of the sleep powder.

Yellow rushed to a bush and fiddled with he leaves. She then took a deep breath.

"Wait, how did you..."
