Second chapter up.
Enjoy.
A/N: Oh, and when some words are in bold, or italics it means emphasis. Just FYI.
Chapter 4 Lunatics and Jobs
Blue's P.O.V.
"Champion Blue! How do you feel after defeating the elite four and becoming the new Champion of Kanto Region?"
"It's an overwhelming feeling, but overall I feel really great," I shouted in excitement to the reporter and huge crowds.
"It's been my dream for the very start, and I am just ecstatic to know, that it finally came true," I continued with my speech feeling a bit teary then.
"GO BLUE!" The crowd chanted cheering me on.
"Thank you, everyone," I yelled out, increasingly happy.
The crowd continued cheering me on. "Go Blue! Go Blue! Go Blue! Go Blue…"
"Go Blue," I muttered, "Go Blue…"
I rolled my head over to the side, my head colliding with a hard surface.
"Ow!" I woke up with a start, rubbing my head.
Yawning, I stretched out my sore back and arms, looking around.
Oh yeah, the lab and job, I thought.
Rubbing my sleepy eyes, I directed them to look at the sign in the door. It was still closed.
I was about to collapse onto the soft patches of grass, but stood up abruptly.
"Chikori!" I exclaimed.
Usually she would always find her way back to me one way or another, but I had completely forgotten that someone could easily take her.
In the Kanto Region, many people did not know about my Pokémon from Johto, which meant people could easily capture her, pokéball or not.
I pushed myself to my feet, and started running in the direction that I had come from, and thought, panicked that Chikori could have gotten lost along the way.
Green's P.O.V.
"Chikori?" It cocked its head, as if questioning me.
I looked at the Pokémon, never having seen it around here or the entire region.
Frowning, I flipped my newly updated Pokédex open and immediately data was seen on the screen.
Chikorita:
Species: Leaf Pokémon
Type(s): Grass
Height: 2' 11" (0.9m)
Weight: 14.1 lbs. (6.4kg)
Abilities: Overgrow
Pokédex Color: Green
Region: Johto
Additional Information: A sweet aroma gently wafts from the leaf on its head. It is docile and loves to soak up the sun's rays.
I scanned over the data again, to make sure I didn't miss anything.
What was a Pokémon from Johto doing all the way here in Kanto Region? I mused.
I stared at the Pokémon again, intent on finding out where it had come from.
The chikorita curiously stared in response.
Blue's P.O.V.
Chikori? Where are you? I thought, my pace getting even more agitated, and I started walking faster.
She wasn't back loitering in the town streets, nor was she near the forests, or even near the lab.
I had checked many times, and asked the locals if they had seen a small red-eyed, leafy Pokémon, but all had shaken their heads in response.
I honestly did not know where Chikori had gone, and for the first time I was lost to how I could fix things. Also, Chikori wasn't the type to always go wandering off… She always came back to me when she found what she needed, or when I called her back.
I was so deep in thought that I didn't notice that I had bumped into someone, again.
This time, I was relieved to find the face of an elderly man, than that of a scowling, overly rude prick.
Papers were scattered to the ground.
"Oh!" I exclaimed. "I'm really sorry."
Without waiting for a reply, I bent down and scooped the papers up into my arms. They looked familiar…
"It's quite alright," the old man kindly said. He looked down to where the papers where in my arms.
"Ah, thank you," he said warmly as I handed them back to him.
I let out a nervous chuckle, as I thought back on those papers. I could've sworn that I had seen them before, somewhere…
"Ah, HA!" I suddenly yelled out. "Those are the papers I saw in Saffron! It was…" What was it again? I racked my brain for answers. "It was that job I really wanted to get!"
I turned to see 'gramps' staring at me.
Oh, I thought. I must've looked like a lunatic while screaming that out.
He suddenly stood more upright, and cleared his throat.
"You say that you were looking for this job," the old man questioned. "Correct?"
"Yes sir," I replied, a little bemused to why he didn't call the nearest mental hospital on me.
"Excellent!" He beamed, smiling down at me.
Wha..? I thought before Gramps calmly explained, and assuredly stated something that almost made me spiral down to the ground in shock. That, or jump up and down on the ground in pure glee.
I was going to get the job!
_A/N: Whew! Finally finished!
Just so everyone knows, the chapter before, and ¼ of the chapter now was written a LOOONG time ago. Like two years ago. Meep.
Well thanks to many of my friends encouraging me to finish these chapters, I did.
Adios!
