To The Top [ Pokemon Fanfic. ]

Chapter 16 - Finding Jolt

"We're here!" I threw my hands up in the air happily, smelling the flowery scented air. It smelled so good.

"Finally," Adriana smiled from behind me. She was just as relieved & tired as I was.

We made it to Celadon City in just four days.

Four long, dreadful, tiring days.

First of all, I was attacked by a group of wild Rattata, because of Brandon.

He was trying to battle a wild Raticate, & little did we know this Ratticate had several small Rattata children.

These Rattata's attacked me. How is it possible, you ask, that four Rattata's attacked me & me only? I wish I knew. Adriana & Brandon were left unharmed.

I had horrible cuts all over my legs, especially my left leg. That really slowed us down. It was hard for me to walk.

We came across some trainers every once in a while, & battled. Of course that took up some time. & despite this, we took some time off to train. Cinder even learned a new move, Fire Spin. It was a bit bad at first, but she quickly got the hang of it & was using it against our opponents.

Despite this training & wild Pokemon battling, Brandon didn't catch any Pokemon at all. I was beginning to wonder if he even wanted to, because he had several opportunities to catch some, yet he made an excuse every time.

"Too weak."

"Weak against electric-types."

"Takes too long to train/evolve."

These were just some of the many reasons he gave me everytime we knocked out a wild Pokemon.

Brandon also got to really train his newest team member, his Poliwag. That thing looked so small & cute & innocent, but with all the battles Brandon put it through it was starting to grow tough. It had recently learned Body Slam during a battle with a trainer's Raticate, & knocked it out just like that.

Adriana trained too, but she let us take on most of the trainers we came across. Unless our Pokemon were weak, or we weren't in the mood, we would battle & she wouldn't mind. She let us because she knew we needed the experience much more than she did.

As soon as we arrived in Celadon, Adriana wanted to go to her sister's house. She invited us to come along, & even said that it would be okay for us to stay with them for a couple days. We gladly accepted the offer.

Celadon was a big city. Not only that, but it was so beautiful & full of flowers. Everywhere. It smelled good too, I could breathe in & inhale roses with every step I took, & I loved it.

The walk to Adriana's sister's house was pretty long. I was relieved & tired when we finally got there. Adriana proudly walked up to the front door & knocked a bit loud.

Moments later, a women looking almost identical to her, answered the door. "Adriana!" her face lit up as soon as she saw her sister. "Ariana!" Adriana yelled back & hugged her.

Brandon & I stood there awkwardly as the two women embraced each other in what I would call a very long hug. When they parted, the other girl, Ariana, looked at us & frowned a bit. "May I help you?"

"Oh, Ariana, this is Katrina & Brandon. I met them just recently. I was hoping they could stay here for a few days while they're in Celadon?" Adriana asked hopefully.

Adriana's almost twin looking sister looked us over & bit her lip. "They're cool, trust me," Adriana nodded approvingly.

After Adriana assured her we wouldn't rob her house & stab her in the leg the women smiled & said,"Sorry. Come on in." As soon as we walked in I smelled cupcakes. My eyes went wide & I looked to Brandon. He licked his lips; he smelled it too.
