A New Line Through The Lives Of Kanto

The Odd Couple

Ampharos stared around at everyone staring back at her, and she made her pleasant greeting.

Blitzle also called out, turning to June after.

Manectric sniffed the air, eyeing everyone. "Manectric..." she spoke in a raspy whisper.

"Pika Pi Chuuuu!" Pikachu smiled.

Rotom whirled in the air, taking in everyone with a big smile.

"Galvantulaaaa..." Galvantula made Gary jump as he eyed the enormous spider.

"Veeeee!" Eevee smiled and wagged her tail adorably.

Lanturn wailed out in a strange voice that grabbed everyone's attention.

"Magnetoooon!" Magneton sparked lightly.

Electivire breathed heavily, his eyes going over everybody. He stopped on Gary's Pokemon. "Tivire."

"Char..." Charmeleon stared blandly at all of June's Pokemon.

"Bell, Bell," Weepinbell said, standing next to Charmeleon.

Kingdra said nothing, standing by Weepinbell.

"Toooooooooooooooyyyyy!" Baltoy twirled rapidly in place like a top, right by Kingdra.

"Prrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr..." Primeape kept his eyes on Electivire who, at this point, was staring right back.

"Tyrogue!" Tyrogue was bouncing to a fast beat on his feet.

"So, these are my Pokemon," June introduced with a huge, nervous smile on her face. "Heh..."

Gary put away his Pokedex, having scanned June's Pokemon. "June, I can't believe you kept all these guys a secret for so long! This is so cool! Ten Pokemon! Most Electric, of course. It's nice to meet all of you!" Gary smiled at the group, though inside, Galvantula was just plain nasty looking.

The Pokemon all responded to Gary happily, except for Electivire.

Gary eyed Electivire. "So this-"

"AAAAAAPE!!" Primeape lunged out and pulled back his fist, headed for Electivire.

"Vire..." Electivire barely moved, just reaching out his hand. With ease, he caught Primeape!

"Primeape!" Gary couldn't believe his Pokemon had leaped out to start a fight like that!

June gasped. "Gary!"

"Tivire!" Electivire's body was outlined in white, and he turned behind him and used Strength to fling Primeape into a tree!

"APE!" Primeape hit it hard and dropped, but he got right back up, punching his fists together.

"Gary! Electivire is hard enough to control without your Pokemon starting a fight!" June complained.

"Primeape, what's gotten into you? Cut it out!" Gary ordered.

"Body language."

Gary turned to June. "Huh?"

"I may not be able to read it the same way I can read Pokemon speaking, but it's the body language," June explained. "It doesn't excuse jumping into a fight like that, but Primeape didn't like Electivire's body language. He must have taken it as a challenge."

"Or, Primeape is still holding a grudge from their first fight..." Gary suggested.

"Ha! Yeah, that might be a part of it," June admitted shyly, rubbing the side of her face and looking down with embarrassment.
