After a half hour of pestering the people of Woodwick with pitiful begs, and trade offers, and more then enough of
"Pleeeeeease?! I promise I'll give it baaack!"
for anything that could be used for writing, one old lady finally gave her an old fountain pen in exchange for Allura to shut up and leave her alone. She gladly accepted this offer and ran back to the stone she was writing agents earlier with her mimikyu.
"Alright mimikyu, lets try this again."
She was about to sign the paper but she hesitated.
'What's the matter now?'
Mimikyu asked her
"I'm just trying to think of a name to sign on the paper."
'Just put Ms. what ever your last name is.'
"I would but... what's my last name again..?"
'... I wish I could tell you but I never knew in the first place, heh...'
"Eh, I'll just scribble anyone down then, as long as there's something there I don't think it matters."
Allura scribbled down a signature that looked like the name 'Ms.Burr' but it was hard to tell because the letters where written so closely together.
"There."
Mimikyu hopped down from her shoulders.
'So we just keep this with us and we'll be able to fight the gym leaders?'
"Um- well I'm not sure. He didn't really explain that part. For now I'll just keep it here."A few minutes later Allura and Mimikyu where walking up the dirt trail to get past the little part of the town that stood between where they had just came from and route one. They figured that since they had finally gotten the endorsement signed they could start to search for the first gym.
'How long do you think the walk's going to be?'
Mimikyu asked
"Probably a good six miles or so..."
Allura responded. The two walked in silence for a little while longer until they came across a Scorbunny.
Allura stopped walking to look at the small creature and it looked back at her with a blank stare. This little rabbit had blotches of grey fur scattered across its white pelt and one floppy ear.It stared at them both for a few moments longer before saying.
"Scorbun..?"
'Are you just going to keep staring at me, or..?'
Allura shook her head to snap out of the trance she was in.
"Oh um- I-I'm so sorry! I d-don't mean to stare I've, um, just never seen a pokémon like you before."
She explained with a little bit of nervous laughter at the end.
"Score?"
'Wait, can you hear me?'
The rabbit said in surprise
"Um, yeah. For the most part at least."
'Wow! This is so cool!! Wish you could be my trainer, all anyone else hears is "Score-bun" or "Nibba!" and it's soooo annoying!" It said while pulling on its ears "Oh- and I'm a Scorebunny by the way.'
"Are all Scorbunnies spotted like this, if they are that's really cool."
'Nnnnope! I'm one of a kind! Not your typical white, orange, and red color pallet! Get a good look trainer, you'll probably never see another one of me ever again!'
It said proudly while striking a confident pose with its paws placed on its hips.
"Oh so you're a shiny then?"
'Well not exactly. I don't really know what pokémon spotted like me are supposed to be called but I'm pretty sure we're a little rarer then the shines are.'
The Scorbunny explained. Allura nodded in understanding afterwards.
They would have talked for a little while longer but a familiar voice called the little rabbit over
"Scorbunny! We're supposed to stay over here!"
They shouted. Allura looked over to see Gloria, Hop, and Leon form earlier. They where in a small yard with a little battle field near a stone house. They where standing by another Scorbunny that was much bigger and tougher looking then the one she was just talking with. This one had the plain white fur the smaller one was telling her about and two other Pokémon Allura didn't recognize. One looked like a little green monkey with a twig tangled in the leafy fur on its head. It's tail was medium in length and had the same brown color as it's ears did. The other one was a small chameleon-like thing with a long curled up tail and a leaf looking fin that sat up crookedly on the top of its head. Somehow it's appearance kind of reminded Allura of Mudkip.
"Niybba..."
'Bye trainer...'
The Scorebunny said sadly. It dragged its feet all the way back over to them. When the Scorbunny stood beside the other starters the other, and much bigger, Scorbunny smacked it on the back of its head with its paw and growled something to it that Allura didn't catch. The smaller Scorbonny didn't fight back, it just rubbed the back of its head and looked away submissively. She could just make out it mouthing the words 'I'm sorry...'. Seeing this made something burn inside of Allura. Something that was kind of like anger but not quite. She didn't know what it was or why this new emotion had been triggered, but whatever it was made her eyes narrow, the upper corner of her mouth draw back a little bit not enough to show any teeth, and made it feel like her ears where bending back like how a dogs would when they snarl at something. Except Allura knew very well that they couldn't be doing this because human ears just can't move around that much. She looked over to Leon but he didn't seem to notice this, he just started talking with Gloria and Hop.
"These are the Pokémon you get to pick from. We have, Grookey, the grass type starter. Sobble, the water type starter. And last but not least the twin Scorbunnys, the fire type starters."
He announced. Allura sighed away this strange feeling and came closer to stand a little behind Gloria and Hop.
"This is a pretty big decision to pick your first Pokémon so there's no rush. Feel free to take your-"
Before Leon was finished Gloria rushed over to the Sobble and picked it up.
"I call this one!"
She declared. The Sobble was trembling and crying with what Allura guessed where tears of joy
"Sob..! S-Sobble..!"
'Hurray..! A-A new partner..!'
It sounded like it wanted to be excited but it just sounded like it was about to start crying harder then what it already was.
"I'll call yooou... Misty!"
'Okey...'
Misty said. She was content with this new name.
Hop laughed a little at Gloria's excitement. Then the purple-haired boy walked over to the Grookey.
"What'd ya say little one, want to be the second member of my team?"
"Groo!"
'O'corse!'
It jumped up into a front flip to land perfectly on Hop's shoulder
"Let's call you Tempo from now on, sound good?"
Tempo cried out in joy, it sounded like he was more then happy with his new name.The spotted Scorbunny dashed over to Allura leaving small embers in its path. Once it was close enough it hugged her lower leg.
"Niybba ni!"
'And I choose this one!'
It cried out.
"Heheh, seems like this one has taken quite a liking to you, Allura. I suppose you can take it. No use in anyone being left behind."
Leon told her.
"Oh I-I wish I could but I've already got Mimikyu." She gestured to her Mimikyu who was looking at some buttercups that where sprouting up out of the dirt. "They're starters right? Aren't they meant to be your first pokémon?"
The Scorbunny's ears went down with disappointment
'But...'
Then Hop stood up with his new teammate.
"Well, yes they normally are. But I've already got Wooloo so I'm sure it's ok if they're not your first."
When Scorbunny heard those words it slowly started to raise its ears back up.
"Well yeah, then I guess it's ok then." Allura crouched down to be at eye level with the bunny
"I guess I'm supposed to re-name you then..."
She took a moment to think about a name that would fit the little guy.
'Maybe Ember? No not that one. Pyro..? That'd probably work if she wasn't a girl. Maybe a name that's got something to do with her gray spots..?'
"How about... Cinder. Do you like that one?"
"Niiiba!"
'It's perfect!'
Cinder said happily
"Welp, Cinder it is!"The bigger Scorbunny stood all alone as it looked around. Allura could see that it was jealous of the other Pokémon who where talking with their new trainers. The rabbit pouted and crossed her arms, tapping her foot in annoyance. Small flames burned beneath the yellow bandage on the bottom of her foot.
She almost looked like she was going to cry out of frustration when Leon walked over to her and pat her on the head.
"Don't worry Scorbunny, you'll just come with me. Charizard can teach you a thing or two and you'll be stronger then ever."
The scorbunny huffed and rolled her eyes
'I guess that's fine...''Can't you act a little more appreciative?'
Allura thought in annoyance.
Allura was about to say goodbye and go find the first gym with Mimikyu and Cinder but Hop's energetic shout caught her attention.
"Gloria, now that you have a partner let's battle!"
"Groo-key! Gro!"
Tempo was just as excited as Hop was.
Gloria looked down at Misty who gave a nod of validation then Gloria turned back to Hop.
"You're on, mate!"
She said while looking him in the eye.(Thanks for reading!
