Pokemon: The Misadventures in Unova

Chapter 12

《An unlikely travel companion》

. . Y a a a w n. .

An echo, on the very early morning. Why is it ? The individual who yawned, pondered eventually using words. .

- "Why is it... that I get to go early.. It's barely 4 Am. . I think ?" (Frost)

Yes. That's Frost, making his way to Castelia, but 'somebody' decided to urge him at 4 in the morning to 'hurry up' since some person will be accompanying him (?).

- "I don't even care anymore... Who and where will I even meet that someone.." (Frost)

And before he got anytime to ponder anything- A wild pokemon herd surrounded the Professor's assistant.

The pokemon, being agressive for no reason were just staring as if he was their long lost enemy being reborn–

Frost, just gave them a non-chalant glance and got a sudden Idea.. Let's train pokemon- especially Ralts..

{A grind session later.. Y'know how it is}

- "Well, that sure enough helped.. Froakie who is now even more exhausted did all the work, nobody evolved. But both of you got some experienced and Ralts herself did especially well. Confusion did it's job in confusing and made the battle easier. " (Frost)

The assistant mumbled. Ralts just ran back to it's trainer and hugged his leg, probably wanting praise. Much like a kid..

Frost of course understanding her, he lifted her up and brought her to his shoulder, apparently her self-proclaimed best spot to sit on, and took out a macaron for her to feast on. While the other pokemon, Froakie, just groggily went to his own pokeball, to sleep.

{Afterwards, finally at the docks in Virbank city}

A nice breeze flew by. . The sun's warmth crept in, leaving only the gentle caresses of heat. . .

The boat siren's echoed throught the city as an alarm clock. It was 6 Am and a sleepy Frost which was startled by the sudden siren jumped and stood straight, making the poor sleeping Ralts fall over the floor.

- "R. . Ra.." (Ralts)

Oh no.. it's a cry for help. . She's probably crying..

- "Uhh you alright ? Uhhh.. I didn't get your name last time.. well, or I guess 'Delivery boy' will do !" (A familiar voice)

After helping the poor little Ralts calm down and stop crying, by placing her on her self-proclaimed 'best spot' she hugged his head tight, robbing of his vision and thus... having no clue who the familiar voice is fro. . Wait is that the Virbank.. Gym Leader ?!—

- "A-Ah.. Yeah, Had a rough awakening you see.. Uhh Roxie right ? Thanks for your album that time.. and It's Frost, my name- " (Frost)

After a brief introduction, the boat was swiftly parked. And people walked past the two, whispering. . Most likely about the crying Ral–

- "You think.. they're a thing ?" (Random pedestrian)

Or not.. which is unfortunate because that's worse..

Well, it's better to ignore it, they'll realize soon enough. . . Right ?

- "Raa. ." (Ralts)

And finally being freed from her grasp, the Ralts sat down and was pouting for him disturbing most likely her beauty sleep- do Pokemon have beauty slee–

- "Why is your face red. . ?" (Frost)

Frost, being geniunly concerned.. she was red as a tomato, and unable to make eye contact.

- "That looks like.. are you having a fever ? We could get the crewmates to check yo–" (Frost)

And – she turned her head ? Is she ignoring him ?

- "Huh ?" (Frost)

- "Let's go.." (Roxie)

After walking past.. from an outsiders perspective it definitely looked suspicious.. like a failed confession. Yet they're friends ??

Well, after that interaction (?) both got in the boat, which the captain personally came to 'visit' them..

Why , you may ask... Well, it so happens the captain is the father of Roxie.. they're currently in their cabin, which had a cheap discount, a bed for two ..

- "Oh.. I gotta go tell Tommy, he's gonna be so jealous !" (Roxie)

And as the move swift, with precise accuracy, she made her way down to wherever her 'friend' would be...

Which left.. two individuals.. in an awkward situation..

- "What. Were. You. Planning. Getting. The. Couples. Discount ?" (Roxie's father)

. . . S w e a t d r o p.

- "Well, you see sir.. To be perfectly honest. I simply payed for the cheapest room for two... and they gave me it.." (Frost)

Well, partly is right.. he just didn't let the sailor who suggested the room talk. It was an abrupt morning okay ?

- "Sigh.. Listen kid, my daughter isn't a thing you can use for your benefit-" (Roxie's Father)

‐ "And for the last time I'm not her boyfriend ! We literally met yesterday !" (Frost)

- "Hou ? Is she not good enough ?!" (Roxie's father)

This... this man..

- "I mean.. Well... When you put it that way. . . Maybe ?" (Frost)

- "Oh you little sh–" (Roxie's dad)

Before he finished that sentence, the intercom resounded. Asking for the captain, permision to check the route(?) Are we lost.. ?

Frost wondered.. he's not a sailor so he doesn't know any better.

- " Haah... We'll talk later son..." (Roxie's father)

And "S l a m !" The door closed..

s i G H H.

Great. Just great.. more misunderstandings..

And a couple of minutes later, the door opens and closes, which was of course his roommate Roxie.

- "S-So, you had a talk with my dad I take it ?. ." (Roxie)

What a weird start to the conversation.

- "Look, if this is about the couple thing, I'll sleep on the floor if you want, or maybe your dad could lend me a couch-" (Frost)

Just to clarify. . It usually takes a few hours getting to Castelia city, but. . . Somehow they got on the wrong boat. Of course, Roxie's dad being the MVP, decided to help us into Castelia once the passengers enjoyed the island by the name of: Liberty Garden.

Home to the aparent legendary pokemon Victini.. or so the legend goes.

- "Ah.. Well.. you don' . . Have to . ." (Roxie)

She's acting weird... suspicious.
Well, she does have a point.

- "Well. Yeah.. I'd be awkward to sleep near the captain. I'll take the floor then. In the meantime. We have a whole day to relax.. I already contacted the professor of our delay... so.. what do we even do now.. ?" (Frost)

And... a silence filled the suite. . Awkward.

Until. . . !

- "U-Um.. Frost ? Where are you from.. ? You're unfamiliar with everything around here.. so I asumme you're an outsider. ?" (Roxie)

Ah- the girl spoke first... and took a seat next to him.. but far enough for personal space. .
