Pokemon Cards Book One

Back To The Past!

"I'm so bored!" Gaia groaned. It was quiet time again, but most of us wanted to be outside. Popplio was especially fond of the pool here, and had been bugging me about it all day once again. Gaia and Misdreavus were playing on Gaia's phone, but I guess they beat all the levels on their game because they'd put it down a few minutes ago and hadn't gone back to it yet. Greninja and I had been having a conversation telepathically, and at one point it had been entertaining. The others had been confused at why we were laughing at first before remembering Greninja and I often talk to each other through our thoughts. Eve and Eevee were now awake from their nap, Aubrey and Flabebe were singing softly for a while, following along with some quiet karaoke on Aubrey's phone, and Pearl and her eevee (now nicknamed Jade) had been playing. Lilac and Deerling had been drawing more outfit designs.

"I want to do something." Pearl sighed. "Quiet time is boring! None of us are five anymore!"

Eevee yelled, slightly startled by a sudden movement, and everyone turned to look up at me, Trinity, and Espeon who was out of her card and hopping across our beds. She'd been still enough to look dead before. Pearl quickly shushed her and Eve pointed at me and Greninja so that Eevee would look too.

"Sorry guys..." Eve apologized.

I didn't realize why they were apologizing right away. Nobody had been disturbed. Then I realized they didn't know Greninja as well as I did. He was sitting beside me with his arms folded, eyes closed, and his head leaning on my shoulder. To anyone else, it looked like he was asleep. He wasn't. He was almost always awake when he did this, he was just curious about the conversations on the other side of the room and didn't want to look like he could be eavesdropping when he was. Our counselors were chattering quietly.

"I'm not asleep." Greninja said, opened his eyes and sat up straight.

"Oh. What were you doing then?" Pearl asked. Greninja shrugged.

"He does that sometimes. It's kind of a thing." I said.

"Geez, can he get any weirder?" Gaia grinned teasingly. "I guess I shouldn't complain though. At least he's not-" she stopped to shudder at the next word, "-normal."

Everyone laughed. It was great to be unique, and there was currently a secret competition we were having with Cabin Rowlet. Who's more boring? It was kind of fun actually. We'd done several ridiculous things during this competition. The last thing we'd tried was spinning on our heads or while doing a headstand to counter their gymnastics. There were no rules for the contest, you just had to be as creative and weird as possible.

"We have type advantage!" They'd yelled.

"Yeah, but we're fully evolved." Was our reply.

"So what should we do?" I asked. Nobody replied at first.

"I can record everything we do. Anyone wanna make a video?" Eve asked. She'd already whipped her phone out of her pocket.

"Sure!" Gaia smiled.

"I'm up for it." Lilac shrugged.

"I think it's a great idea! It'll be lots of fun!" Pearl smiled.

"Only if we can turn it into a musical." Aubrey grinned.

Our counselors and their pokemon all agreed and so did I. All the pokemon were okay with it, so Eve turned on her camera and began recording.

"Oi wussup everyone how y'all doing TEAM ROWLET SUCKS!" Greninja yelled as soon as Eve said she was recording. Pearl was caught a bit off guard and choked back a laugh. Gaia was the opposite. She nearly rolled off her bed laughing from the shock that came from hearing that line so suddenly. I just smirked. I already knew he was going to do something like that.
