Help me..." Echoed a voice within the black void of darkness. Unaware of where she was, or why she seems to be here? Unable to see or describe any land marks or the surrounding forest she and her trainer was once at? "Why did you abandon me...why do you hate me?" The voice continued speaking, echoing in this void the female Pokemon was in.
"Why do you not help me? Why do you not help me?" The voice was now more distinguishable. It belong to a young girl. A young girl voice was calling out to her, to the female Pokemon who finally spun around and stared behind her. Widening her ruby eyes at the sight of the girl. "Help me...help me...help me." She continued saying, as she just floats there in front of the Pokemon. Who was shaken and frighten at the sight of who it was...she was speaking to.
The small lips on the girl began to slowly curve up and giving somewhat a frightening smile. "Help me...help me, won't you Gardy?" Giggled the girl now as she began lifting her head. Causing the female Pokemon to hyperventilate at the sight. Shaking even more, backing away with light steps and making sure to keeping her distance from the girl. "Are you scared...are you worried, I might do something to you?" Said the young girl.
Whose eyes was blank and spacious. No emotions behind them, no soul or even any hint of there being anyone there. Giggling and laughing, as she then began materialize a rubber ball in front of her hands. Then began bouncing it against a solid floor beneath her, as her white dress began moving with her legs.
"G...G...Gardevoir!" Shouted Gardevoir, who quickly turned around. Shutting her eyes shut and tries desperately to run away from the young girl. Who began following her and yet...not gaining any distance from the weird girl. "Voir, voir!" Screamed the psychic/fairy type. Saying stay away from her and then saying how it wasn't her fault!
"Help me Gardy, help me Gardy, help me Gardy." The girl kept saying over and over. Laughing every time she finished her sentence. Getting Gardevoir, to try and use her psychic abilities to getting away...only to widen her eyes with gritted teeth. Of not feeling any psychic powers at all, or any of her skills activating on her will!
Her arms pumping, her chest tightening with each time she tries running forward. Her legs kicking against the fabric of her dress, to even nearly tripping and collapsing down into the black solid ground. But will quickly, recover and continued to run. "Why do you run Gardy...don't you like me anymore? Aren't we best of friends?" Cackled the young girl. Whose voice was beginning to change and becoming a little bit...dark.
Things were beginning to change around Gardevoir, who continued to run away from the ever approaching young girl. Dead trees were beginning to show, gray like grass and ground beginning to crunch beneath her feet. Twigs, tumbleweed and even dead bushes...plant life were beginning to appear and materialize before Gardevoir. Who was panting, huffing and breathing heavily through this dead like forest.
Grey dull tone clouds and skies were beginning to appear above her. To then whipping of twigs and branches, whipping and slashing against Gardevoir. Who was yelping and gasping from being hit. Being caught in some of them, with her dress getting snagged, as the female Pokemon. Who turned her attention towards the young girl...who was slowly growing before her, bouncing that ball. Thumping against the ground, making the sound of pat whenever coming down and back into the girls hand.
"Why won't you help me? Why won't you help me, Gardy? Don't you care anymore?" The young girl voice was beginning to distort and change before the female Pokemon. Who was tugging and pulling against her dress, off from the branch. To which she successfully managed to rip it off, toppling against the ground and scrambling back onto her feet. Not caring how decent she looked, with her left leg being exposed. Her soft skin and thighs, getting cut and sliced a bit from the bushes...becoming even thicker and thicker.
Making it nearly impossible to see what was in front of her, unable to see above the dead trees. Which were now swallowing the skies, looming over her and bringing despair to whatever is going on here. Gardevoir whimpered and whined, feeling hot tears filling her eyes and coming down her cheeks. Begging the girl to stop chasing her, to stop following her...even going on and saying how it wasn't her fault, wasn't her fault that she became like this.
"Help me Gardy, help me Gardy, help me Gardy." Now the tone of the voice was one of mocking at the frantic and scared psychic type. As the girls looming shadows, began towering over the frantic Pokemon. Watching in sick enjoyment at the female, struggling against the more thickets and rough terrain in front of her. Constantly falling and collapsing into the ground, more and more of her dress getting torn, more of her body being exposed in the harsh environment.
Her white pale skin, were receiving cuts and slashes against her legs, arms, cheeks, thighs and even her sides. Leaving red marks all over the female, who was doing everything in her power to getting away. Away from the white dress, green hair girl who was pursuing her throughout this environment. Constantly shouting out to her, asking her to help her...which Gardevoir. Refuses to doing so, even trying to covering her ears to stop hearing the girl speaking.
"Why did you leave me." The tone was menacing and dark. Scaring Gardevoir greatly, as her eyes shot open. The fear rising to insane levels, as she was now literally screaming her voice out, calling out for Ash. Wailing and screaming bloody murder, as she felt her legs and feet beginning to dig into the ground...kicking mud and muck into the air.
"Why did you abandon me, why did you betray me!"
"Help me Gardy, Gardy why won't you help me?"
Now there were two distinct voices, as Gardevoir's body. Was slowly sinking into the mucky ground. Her thighs and legs halfway into whatever it was, she is being sucked into...gasping and coughing badly. From having the purple and glowing oddity in her mouth...shifting and slurping against her body, slurping up into her thighs. Slurping and vibrating into her womanhood, as her dress was complete torn now and beginning to be absorb into the ground.
"Why did you abandon me, why did you betray me!
"Why won't you help me Gardy? Why won't you help me?"
They continued speaking towards the panic Gardevoir. Who was struggling now and throwing her arms all over the place, sputtering and spitting out the strange muck. Watching tendrils beginning to form out from the ground, to then coiling and snaking around her stretched out arm. Gasping and whimpering with cries of fear. "G...Gardevoir, Gardevoir!" She screamed and sputter through the strange sinking purple glowing muck.
Feeling the tendrils coiling and wrapping all over her body, squeezing her tightly. Her breasts, bounded and tighten with these mucky tendrils. Making it difficult to breathe, making it hard for her to get air into her lungs. She even felt it going around her mouth, silencing her and sucking her even more into the ground. With her out stretched arm and hand, waving and desperately grasping anything she could that's solid.
Watching another woman beginning to form next to the young girl. Having demonic looking eyes, cold and harsh judging stare. Just glaring vacantly at her, showing disappointment. Betrayal, disconnected from the entire world. Showing no emotion but...anger, hate and rage. "You will be punished for what you did to me...all of you, will be punish. You will atone for your sins."
"Mmph...mmph." Moaned Gardevoir, as she felt herself now slowly descending into darkness. Feeling the cold and wet muck hungrily eating her more into the ground. Her hand lazily waving and trying desperately, grasping anything in front of her.
As the only two things she saw before everything began turning dark or at least, last words before being consumed into the ground came from the young girl. "Bye, bye Gardy...maybe next time!" Chortle the young girl right when the glop of the purple muck completely absorbs her.

"GARDE!" Screamed the female Psychic type Pokemon. Literally throwing herself away from the pillow, to even throwing the blanket off from her body. To then whipping her head towards the outside of the small tent she was in. Hearing loud thunderous booms of a raging storm happening outside...then the rattling rhythm of the rain. Smacking and banging into the tent. While hearing the howls of winds, blowing through the route...as Gardevoir. Pants and gasps for air, feeling cold sweat pouring down from her forehead, body and legs.
To which she then began grasping and grabbing onto herself. Making sure she was all there, that what she just experienced right now was all a dream. She even went and gently touches her exposed breasts, feeling the hard nipples flicking against her fingers. Making her shudder a bit, to then looking down at herself...then blinked her eyes when she heard a light groan. Alerting her to the person next to her; it was Ash. "Gardevoir..." She whispered and lowered her head.
Letting out a loud breath of relief, as memories were being recollected. She recalls it now...though she didn't need to or wanted to remember. As she shook and shake in fear, her legs curling up to her chest. Gardevoir, was crying...shedding tears down her cheeks. Her teeth gritting and hiccuping loudly from what that nightmare was. "Voir...voir...voir." She whispered quietly to herself over and over. Saying how it wasn't her fault, she didn't wanted anything bad to happened to her...blaming herself for what had become of the person in the dream, what had happened to Sabrina.
She inhaled loudly and threw her head back, resting against the tent walls. Sniffing and hiccuping heavily, as she shook her head sadly. To then looking lazily towards the somewhat window of the small tent, watching the raging storm happening outside. "Gardevoir..." She whined and continued to shed tears. Knowing full well that this storm was definitely an omen to come...one, she knows Ash is not prepared for. As the female Pokemon then turned her head towards the young boy, sleeping peacefully next to her. No doubt, he will go in without second guessing or being afraid to challenging Sabrina.
To show her trainer that her winning streak will end, and will be defeated by him. Gardevoir hiccuped and sniffled, as she rubs her nose lightly and sucked in her lower lip. Afraid...afraid of what things may happen, if they were to go and step into Saffron city? Let alone...to which she extended her hand forward. Glowed her eyes blue and materialize an item in her hands, which seems to be cracked down in the middle and looking like a locket of some sort.
To then using her psychic powers to force it open. Showing past memories and painful ones, as her tears began falling onto the opened locket. Which was showing a young Ralts, Abra, a young girl and her parents standing in front of a camera. With a red 'X' crossing out what looked to be a doll, wearing a white sundress and a sun hat that seems to be bigger than the doll. As Gardevoir's reflection shown through the worn out locket metal.
"I'm sorry...I'm sorry...I'm sorry." Gardevoir whimpered and whined out as she began rocking in place. Waiting for the storm to pass and hopefully, her sorrows can bring her back to sleep before sunrise. As no doubt in the morning, after everything she and Ash went through during the whole Mewtwo event? Then meeting back up with Robert, after leaving the docks. To continued traveling towards Saffron city, in order to regroup with Leaf. Gardevoir...will be reliving her childhood once again and the old memories resurfacing of her time here in Saffron city.
Reuniting with her old trainer, her old master will no doubt be one. Her and Ash, will ever forget!

Chapter 23: Saffron we come! A love the Psychics had!

The storm had come and gone, leaving behind dew and water drops onto the wild life. Some of the morning Pokemon, who were resting and sleeping lightly against one another. Especially Pidgey's, some wild Vulpix's in the nearby bushes and burrows. With some wild Meowth and even some bug Pokemon, crawling their way up some of the trees. Were welcoming the morning day with excitement and happiness.
Some Pokemon even yelped or darted away from the trees, from feeling some of the branches. Being shaken by Pokemon, causing huge drops of water to splash all over them and scaring them away from their living place. To which then having a tick mark, on their forehead and began shouting at the ones who splashed the water on them.
We then meet our Hero, Ash Ketchum. Awake and packing up everything of the camp site, with his partner Pikachu and Buneary, helping him out. By gathering some of the smaller items and placing them back into his bag. With Robert and his Eevee, happily humming and cooking some breakfast for the group.
"Talk about that storm huh? Never seen strong storms like those before in my life, glad we pinned our camping tents down deep into the ground." Exclaimed Robert. Who looked up at Eevee, watching the fluffy Pokemon, leaning his front paws against the edge of the cooking pot. Being mindful of getting burned. Sniffing and cooing in delight of the food, Robert was making. "Smells good huh?" Robert asked with a chuckle. He then turned his attention at Ash, who seemed to be quite happy today.
Although, kept spotting the young trainer...looking over towards his other Pokemon. One who has been quite distant and quiet this morning, not doing her usual routine of pressing against Ash. Teasing him or being her usual playful self. Just sitting at a tree, with her legs and knees pushing against her chin. Blinking her ruby eyes suddenly, to then lifting her head up and gave a weak smile at Ash. Waving silently at him and went back, to resting her chin on her knees.
"Yeah...I wondered, if it bothered Gardevoir last night?" Ash spoke finally. As he whips and flaps the blankets they used inside of their tents. "Cause and know she probably doesn't want me to say this, to anyone." He chuckled and looks over at Robert. Being mindful of the now cute pair of Pikachu and Buneary, running around and chasing one another. To even tackling down each other, going into a small tumble.
Having Ash to jump over them, in order to not trip over them or falling over. "But I think she was having a nightmare last night. With the way she kept tossing and turning." He grunted out after kneeling down to the grassy ground. Opening up his back pack, to then gently placing the blankets inside. Using one hand to lay across a knee. "I didn't understand what was happening or what was going on..." Ash then sighed and wipe his forehead. Turning his head back at the female Pokemon.
"It was like in my dream, I could hear her screaming out for help. Running, from something I couldn't understand quite well." Continued Ash. Unaware that Gardevoir, was staring sadly down at the locket she pulled out, from her Pokeball with her Psychic powers. Tears lightly going down her cheeks and hitting against the locket. "It...almost feels like she doesn't want to be here, or has bad memories about the city we are about to enter."
This had Robert stop flipping some of the eggs and pancakes on the pan. Humming lightly with one finger, tapping his chin. "Maybe...I have heard whenever Psychic types, are close to their trainers? They tend to accidentally, show them images or sharing what kind of emotions and feelings. They are experiencing right now." Said the older teen. With both he and Ash staring towards the silent Pokemon.
"I am sure things will be alright Ash, she probably just needs some more sleep." Robert said and turns back to the breakfast. Smiling softly at the boy with a grin. "Knowing her and getting the needed rest, she will be bouncing back to her usual self! You'll see."
"Yeah..." Ash just said openly. Still looking at the female Pokemon...noticing the light puffiness of her eyes. Looking to be crying for a good long time and was staring at something, something he couldn't see. But could've sworn, whenever the sun shined through the branches and leaves of the tree she was leaning on. Ash couldn't tell or was going on a wild guess, the female Pokemon might be staring at something with metal, or something that can be easily reflected off from the sunlight.
This had alert Pikachu and Buneary at the sudden quietness...or least, semi-silent trainer of theirs. Looking at him, then turning towards Gardevoir, with both of their ears standing upright and straight. Pondering what was up and what is making Ash, be worrying over their sexy and busty Psychic partner of theirs..."Oh well..." Ash suddenly said and smiled brightly when he felt his stomach growling. "I bet she is just hungry and is just upset, breakfast isn't finished yet! Need some help?" Ash asked Robert. With the blue hair teen laughing and chuckling, making a small remark about how they all slept in.
And couldn't get started on breakfast because it lasted, for a good while this morning. Which had them starting out late in the morning. "Hey, Gardevoir!" Ash began shouting towards the female Pokemon. Who lifted her head and quickly wiped her eyes, smiled sweetly at Ash. To then blinking her eyes with a tilt of her head. "Think you could and grab the Syrup from Robert's bag? Be careful, it is quite sticky from the bottle itself." Ash said and asked for the Pokemon.
Who happily smiled and nods her head, putting the locket of hers back with teleport. To then leaping up onto her feet with one hand, causing her breasts to swing up and then back down against her chest. She then walked on over to Robert's bag, bending forward to peek inside and opening up the pack. Giving quite an eye view for her trainer, to seeing her cleavage...despite not trying to entice or seducing the boy? She didn't care though as she likes doing this, likes to see how far she can push the boy or even making him becoming bashful; it's what she enjoys and loves seeing how modest. Ash can be about, not wanting to stare or ogling at her assets.
But this morning, she figured to give the boy a break. After all...it's good to take a break form teasing once in awhile. And since they are very close to Saffron city, her old home...where her trainer lives and is currently the Gym leader? She will have to try and be on her best behavior, for Ash and Pikachu. Especially Ash, considering this match will mean everything to him. And will acquire him the fourth Gym badge, for the Kanto league!
The female grabbed the needed items and had them levitating, over towards Ash and Robert. Who thanked the girl and began working on making breakfast. With Robert, shouting at Eevee from putting his paw near the pan. Scolding him for nearly getting burnt! Saying how he needs to be patient, if he wants food he will have to wait. Just like everyone else; this promptly had Eevee sticking his tongue out at Robert, blowing raspberries.
Which had Robert twitched a brow and began chasing the Normal type Pokemon around the fields. Making Ash, Pikachu and the girls to openly laugh and giggle at the antics the two were having. Seemingly, was Eevee way of wanting Robert to play with him and goat him, into playing chase. Leaving Ash, with the food as the young raven hair trainer had no problems of cooking for everyone. As he went ahead and got started, on making the bacon for their breakfast. To then staring up at his Pokemon, which was Pikachu and Buneary...
Who were also staring at the still somewhat depressed Gardevoir. Having Ash, to look over the female Pokemon. Noticing her green hair lightly blowing gently from the breeze, shuddering once in awhile at the town. Making Ash becoming bit worried...concerned for the Psychic/Fairy type health. He too then look towards Saffron city, curiously wondering what it is about this town? That seems to cater Gardevoir's attention so much, making her feel so spaced out and unresponsive to everything around her...Even Buneary, who would whimper lightly, whenever she tries and plays tag with the Pokemon?
Gardevoir will not respond and just continues staring at the city, making Buneary to lightly hop close once more, then inch her way closer to Gardevoir. While then bopping her scrounged ear into her leg, then darts with incredible speed from the Female Pokemon. Only to slowly come to a stop, then turning around and face her. "Arrry..." Whine the Pokemon openly. As she sniffled lightly and stares towards Ash, who looked at her and back to Gardevoir...
"Chuu..." Pikachu this time whined next to the young trainer. Who nods in agreement...there was definitely something wrong, with Gardevoir. And this city, seems to be the main focus point for the female Pokemon.
"I know Pikachu, but...what can we do?" Ash started saying while facing back at the food. Then begins placing them onto some plates. "Every time we try and ask Gardevoir, what is wrong? She will usually wave it off and tell us, there isn't anything wrong." He sighed irritably and began mixing the eggs up a bit. "It's like...she doesn't want us to know, or why it is this town; Saffron city...is the main cause of her worries or staring vacantly at." Ash then flips the eggs a bit and starts batting at it with a spoon. He turned his attention back towards the Female...watching her breathing in and then out, having light tears falling down from her cheeks.
"Pika-Pikachu, chu...Kachu?" Pikachu chanted and spoke to his trainer. Waving his ears up and down, while then pointing at the tall metropolis like buildings in the distance. And then towards Ash's Pokeballs...Making the young trainer to hum lightly, turning his attention towards his belt and then back at Gardevoir. Catching onto what Pikachu was saying right away.
"Maybe your right?" Ash perked up with a serious tone. Getting Buneary to lightly yip a bit, after returning back to him and Pikachu. Tilting her head ajar. "Maybe the reason Gardevoir is behaving like this, is because...Her trainer or her original owner! Might still live in Saffron city!" Exclaimed Ash, just loud enough for his Pokemon to hear, as well Robert. Who managed to dive bomb at Eevee and grabbed him on the sides, with the two of them sliding across the grassy ground. Coming to a stop behind the boy, to then lifting their heads up a bit.
"Hey Robert, I think might know what is wrong with Gardevoir!" Ash said while turning his attention towards the teen. Who looked up at him with blinking eyes. "I will tell you after breakfast, and soon we arrive in Saffron city!" He said having quite the determined smile on his face. Which then said smile turned towards Gardevoir. "We will make sure everything turns out alright for Gardevoir, when she meets back to her trainer. Settling things straight, will do both her and the trainer some good!" He chuckled. Already formulating a plan of action of how, they should approach and react to this trainer of hers...making Eevee and Robert, who were on the ground.
To stare at one another and then chuckled lightly, then sighing quietly to themselves. "His heart is in the right place...just, hope everything turns okay for the two. Eh, Eevee?" Robert said brushing the Pokemon's fur a bit. Who smiled and gave a happy wag of his tail, agreeing with his trainer.
Gardevoir...who had been listening and overhearing everyone's conversation. Had to close her eyes, to prevent more tears to running down her face. The female Pokemon felt her heart tugging against her chest, making it quite hard to breathe. She couldn't believe how much Ash, really cares for her...Never, she has seen a trainer show so much love and affection for Pokemon in her entire life. That they will go the extra mile, to making sure they will be happy and alright. Even feeling the courage of the boy, wanting to go and face off with her trainer: Her master Sabrina.
Gardevoir hiccuped quietly, as she grit her teeth into a smile. Oh how much she would love to have the young trainer's courage, his boldness...okay maybe not boldness, since she is quite bold already. But his ignorance to the world, never knowing what kind of dangers or troubles they might face against in their journey. This...is what made her fall in love with the boy, is just him being him. Not letting anyone changing who he is, or making him thinking out of a plan he already came up with.
"Voir..." She sighed quietly and began wiping her tears and stared back up at the city. Saying how she wish...she had his courage. As right now...she's scared, she is afraid to return what used to be her home. What used to be her childhood, her lively hood and what would've been her hometown...If only, she didn't act so brash and unrealistic, towards that stupid doll! That stupid in-animated object and possession of Sabrina's toy? None of this would've happened, she would not have been sent to the Professor, in order to study her and figuring out the cause of Gardevoir's rage that day.
Though she knew it wasn't her rage that got the best of her...No, it was something she saw that scared her. With a voice calling out for help, to help them to being release from the doll...but she could never figured it out and was unable to free them. As Sabrina, who will catch her every time she is near the doll or by herself with the toy? Will punish her severely, to the point she would not been able to move for almost the entire night...And just doing it out of trying to find joy from her, yet never to any of her other Pokemon.
Gardevoir shuddered and then gasp, when she heard her name being called. Causing her to get out of her musing and turned towards the others. Hearing Ash calling out that breakfast was done, making her smile and start running on back to the group. She will worry when the time has come for Ash, whenever he reaches the gym after all? She can always prevent him, from going to the Gym and stopping him from challenging the Gym leader right...Least that what she thought and threw the idea away. No way, anything will be prevent Ash from heading to the Gym and fighting for his fourth Gym badge! So for now, she might as well take the walk into town, with stride and possibly...relive her memories of the city. Before Sabrina started changing on her, becoming a completely different person.
If only she can recall what it was...That changed the young happy girl, to this person she had become in later years? Whatever happen to that happy go lucky girl, she once knew and fell in love with during Christmas time...this is definitely going to be a mystery, she will have trouble solving. But for now, she will enjoy breakfast with everyone and enjoy her walk into town. After all...she still has time to figure things out. Leaf is waiting for the boys to arrive and wanted to speak to them, about things she has learned or probably Pokemon locations, she is dying to tell Ash and Robert about.
And know these three, when Pokemon is on the table...they can nearly spend two hours talking none stop about Pokemon, battle strategies and what kind of moves, they should teach their team in. That...that is when Gardevoir, will slip away from the team and start wandering about in the town. Using her empathetic abilities, to possibly read memories of Sabrina. Hopefully, they will be strong and still residual over the years. The psychic Pokemon figured, she could go to places where Sabrina's memories are the most strongest at...will try reading the memories or past events there. Following the trail that leads up, to the young girl change in personality and entire being.
She just hopes she will have enough time, to figuring it out...along with being strong enough to handle such strong emotions. To even hopefully, prevent Ash from getting transmutation into Sabrina's doll house, which happens to challengers who loses against her. Definitely one thing she will try and defend Ash from...she just hopes, she will be strong enough to protect him.

After breakfast was finished and everyone had their fill, Ash and company continued their way towards the bustling city of Saffron. Where there, they will be welcomed and towered over by many tall buildings and business places, to even some shopping centers, Mall complexes, to even restaurant beau. Where one can find most if not, anything they need. Especially, for wandering Pokemon trainers...The city was definitely active and quite busy this week.
With construction being done and made in certain districts, children and parents. Walking through the city, doing some window shopping and looking through some of the toys in certain windows. To even some native alley Pokemon, running about and playing among one another in the alleyways and back streets of the city. To some being with Pokemon trainers, having friendly competition or even competing to one another. Of who will have the best Pokemon of that type, it was truly a welcome experience for anyone, who comes to this city.
It was quite the sight to behold, especially with how towering some of the buildings can be, along with making it quite intimidating. Forcing Pikachu and Buneary, to sticking close to Ash; riding on his shoulders as they travel through the city. "So where did Leaf, wanted us to meet her at?" Ash asked. Feeling Gardevoir's soft hands, encircling around his...wanting to stick close as possible. So this way, they wouldn't get separated or split apart. Having the boy to hold her hand back. "I mean...there has to be somewhere, where there isn't a whole lot of people right?"
"Well, she did say through telephone there's a open park. Near the central area of the city." Explained the teen, who looked up at the map. Then handing it to Ash. "Here, your better at reading the map than I am. If I hold onto it, I will have us getting lost." Robert chuckled. Earning some snickering from Eevee, who nods and even yipped out how it is true. Robert, can't read a map even if it saves his life.
"Alright, let's see..." Ash mumbled out and straighten the field map. With Robert leaning over to see, if the younger trainer can figure it out. "So we came from this entrance, on the north-eastern part of Saffron city. Right between the routes of Lavender town, as well a long bridge leading towards the northern part of Kanto. Leading towards Cerulean..." He then leans further into the map. "If we take three blocks forward, then make a left. We will entering a street lined up, with different housing district with a open shopping center." He said with a smile. "So, we just follow this road three blocks and we will get to the park in no time!"
Which had Robert looking over his shoulder, to see what path they will be taking. Smiling at the quick route Ash chosen, to which having the older teen. To lightly rub his shoulders with appreciation.. "Alright, lead the way Ash. I don't want to cause." The older teen then laughed. When Ash chuckled and finished his sentence for him.
"I know, you might end us getting lost in the end, with the map in hand." Then chuckled when Buneary, decided Ash shoulders needing rest, by jumping onto Robert's own shoulder. Which he happily accepts and rubs her chin. Ash then turned to Gardevoir. "Hey Gardevoir, we are heading out! Don't fall behind okay?" The trainer announced to his Pokemon, who turned her head away from the store she was staring at.
Smiling happily and nods and then follows after the boys and Pokemon. To the park of Saffron city...She remembers all those times heading there with Sabrina, having fun and enjoying play time with the girl and her friends. The female Pokemon sighed lightly, turning her attention towards the buildings she was walking part, staring at her reflection...as memories began playing in her head. Of the times she spent walking down this same street, with young Sabrina. Who was at the time around nine to ten years old. Wanting to spend time with her and Abra, telling them they will be playing at the park...

"Ralts, raaaal!" Shouted the young female Pokemon known as Ralts. Rushing her way over towards a young green hair girl, who was happily skipping along and moving through the sidewalk. While then stops in place and turns around, smiling at her young Pokemon. Who approached the girl with excitement and giddiness...to then laughing, as she got brought into a tight hug.
"Don't worry Ralts, I won't leave ya!" Giggled the young green hair girl. Who was hugging and swaying the Ralts in her hold. Then placing her down. "I just tend to forget, your not very fast...and that." She then giggled when the proud Pokemon. Began marching forward with her head held high, to then yelp and trips right over her own leg sleeves! Causing her to fall and hit the ground hard, while groaning lightly. "You tend to trip over your own pant legs,whenever you walk." Chuckled the young girl. Who walked on over and helped Ralts up onto her feet, which then the two of them.
Suddenly jumps and got frighten a bit, when their other friend, Abra. Teleported right next to them and floats on down on the ground. Yawning lightly and swishing his tail lazily. Getting the young girl and Ralts wide eyed at the Pokemon, to then looking at one another...followed by some laughter. "Anyway, are you guys hungry?" She suddenly said. "I know a very good ice cream shop, who sells great flavor of Ice cream! She lives on the next block over, come on. Want you two to meet her!" She smiled and held onto Ralts hand, as she began running forward.
Giggling and laughing with the young fairy/psychic type. Who was doing everything to hold onto her hand, as well looking behind her. To seeing Abra still sitting on the spot, he teleported on...then teleporting once more, disappearing from sight. "I tell you Ralts, it is such an amazing place...I have no doubt, you will love it." Smiled the girl while blushing a bit and smiling at the girl. "Especially this flavor Ice cream I always love getting, with sprinkles on top of it. Followed by some sliced bananas on the side!"
"Ralts! Rallts!" Hummed the Psychic/Fairy type happily., licking her lips at the delicious sounding ice cream. The young Ralts, though blushed a bit when she saw her trainer Sabrina, smiling down at her with loving eyes. "Ralts?" She asked lightly, tilting her head cutely. Wondering what was wrong or why she was staring at her like that?
"It's nothing Ralts, just happy to share something I like so much, to somebody I can trust." The young girl said and faces back forward. Making Ralts heart feel a fluttered, but also bit worried...she felt mixture of love and slight sadness from the girl. Wondering what gotten her so upset, when she told Ralts: She trust in someone like her with something she likes? Whatever it was, the female Pokemon will definitely not betray her trust! After all...
They were partners and best friends! Like how a trainer and Pokemon should be, even sharing a psychic link with one another. "Anyway...just try and not eat to fast of the ice cream!" Giggled the girl suddenly. "You can get what my daddy and mommy say, brain freeze." She stated while making a right turn around the corner. Nearly lifting Ralts off from her feet, who slap her other hand onto Sabrina's arm, laughing happily as she was lifted off the ground.
To then jumping and skipping along the ground, in order to keep up and not fall behind her trainer. Sabrina then suddenly stops, to lightly grunt and giggled, when she felt Ralts. Slamming up against her back and then playfully, wrapped her arms around her stomach and tried tickling her through her white dress. "Ralts, stop!" Laughed the girl and grabs the small Pokemon. Swinging her around and hugging her against her body. "Payback!" Shouted the girl. Laughing and giggling along with Ralts, by tickling the young Pokemon into a laughing fit.
Once again though, they both let out slight frights...when Abra teleported right next to them once more. Scaring the life out of them, to which the two of them glared at the floating Pokemon, then at each other. "We should seriously think of getting Abra, a bell...want do you thin?" Sabrina asked Ralts. Who in returned nodded, then facing back at Abra, watching how the Pokemon flinched a bit and then sweat dropped lightly...then eye smiled nervously towards the girl, hoping to apologize for his sudden appearance like that.

Gardevoir sighs and shakes her head fondly of the memory. The ice cream shop was definitely one of their favorites stores, to visit when they were young. And would be standing there for a good long awhile, for least four years. Before they go and started closing the shop down, after not making lot of money during the two last years, in the city...especially when the building Silph company. Began development and started hiring workers to the building, and manufacturing more and more Pokeballs to the market.
The psychic type lifted her head and then stared north-east, to one of the tallest building in the city. Which was the business building, Silph co: which can be seen easily. When one gets to the park of Saffron city or any open areas of the city. Making it easy to spot the large building from the distance, or even in hotel rooms. This made Gardevoir to sigh and look down at the grassy field of the park, to which they arrived couple minutes ago; as Ash, Robert went and met up with Leaf.
Who also had someone else there with the young girl, who she ran into while entering the park. Her name was Cindy, she was traveling around the region just like them. Just sightseeing and checking out some of the towns, Kanto has to offer. To even happily joining the children for lunch, as she goes and pets Ash's Pikachu, on the head. Who chu and cooed happily at the soft hands she had, to even sighing in bliss when the girl...began rubbing on his sweet spots. And then let's out a happy Pikachu, after she was done.
Making Cindy, to giggle and smile at the electric mouse, to then lifting her gaze up towards Ash. "So Ash, if you don't mind me asking? How many badges do you have right now?" Cindy asked. Brushing her brown hair a bit, while also fixing her sunhat...which Sneasel, nearly ruined with her ice cream filled claws of hers.
Ash, who was sitting on a bench and laughing from Pikachu. Walking over and leaping onto his shoulders, while moving behind his head. Smiled and opened up part of his jacket. "I actually manage to get three Gym badges, which some of them. Were really tough to get and hard to gain, especially the thunder badge one." Stated the young boy. Who then grins and rests both arms on the table. "I wouldn't been able to get these, without my Pokemon team! They trained really hard and fought bravely, to getting these badges from the gyms." He then look at Pikachu with a smile. "Especially my buddy here, you showed that Raichu what you're made of huh, Pikachu!"
"Pikachu, pika!" Pikachu proudly nods and pounded his chest. Making Cindy and Leaf, to giggle and laugh at the same time. From the happy Pokemon. Who then blushes lightly and rubs his head gently, while yelping out in surprise. When Buneary, tackling him down towards the ground and followed by pinning the male Pokemon, against the grass. Giggling and wiggling her nose happily, wanting to play with Pikachu some more.
To which he happily accepts, by lifting his legs underneath her stomach and kicked her off. "Bun!" Grunted the bunny, who flailed about and got back on her feet. Glaring playfully at the running and taunting Pikachu. "Bun, buneary!" She shouted. Saying how he won't get away with that, so easily! As she lift her leg and began chasing after the electric mouse!
Cindy, after calming down from her laughter and seeing the playful Pokemon. Playing with one another, she turned her attention over towards Robert real quick. Who seems was playing with his Eevee. And then looking over towards Leaf, who was sitting next to her...rubbing and petting a Clefairy on the head, who was happily squeaking and chanting out at the girl. To then snuggling lightly against her chest, while then opening her mouth from Leaf. Giving a small berry into the Pokemon's mouth.
The older girl then turn and faces towards Ash, who seemed to be preoccupied...staring openly towards on of the other Pokemon...His Gardevoir. Which had Cindy, humming and leaning lightly on the right, looking at the Psychic/Fairy type as well. Seemingly lost in complete thought and staring openly, towards the open field of the park. "Is everything alright with Gardevoir, Ash?" Cindy asked. Alerting the boy of where he was, making him to sigh and turn back facing her.
"I...honestly don't know?" He said with a light sigh. Shifting his gaze once more towards the vacant Pokemon, who seemed to have sat down on the hill she was on. Continuing to stare down at the fields, with her legs curling up against her chest. "She's been acting little funny, ever since arriving here in Saffron city." Ash started saying, while then leaning against his hand. "Especially, when we left the boating docks couple weeks ago. Like...she is afraid of something or doesn't want me coming here." He said and lifted his hand up and then back down on the picnic table.
Cindy, hums lightly and turns her attention back towards the Gardevoir. Then back to Ash. "Has she told you the reasoning, for her behavior? Or why it is she seems...antsy of coming here?" The older girl asked. Which her response she gotten from Ash, was a shake of his head. "Hmm..." Cindy hummed and then rubs her chin. "Well...what have you noticed Ash?"
Which he looked up at her and then back down at the table. "Nothing to much, just she tends to walk very slowly whenever, we seemed to pass certain buildings?" He began counting off. "Then she will be whimpering lightly and refuses, to go towards a certain block. That may lead to the gym...either than those two things. They're the only strange behavior I noticed." Informed the young trainer.
Which this had Cindy, after hearing and giving Gardevoir's behavior. To close her eyes and began thinking it over. If there is only once conclusion she can think of? It is that Gardevoir...used to live in this town and belonging to someone at some point in time. After all...from what Leaf told her, the Pokemon Ash gotten from Professor Oak, were all abandoned or giving to the professor to watch over. To which then, he gave them over towards Ash, thinking he will be right for them.
The girl laughed a bit, when she saw Ash. Getting his hair ruffled and messed with by Pikachu, who hopped onto the table and then. Leaps up on his shoulders, removing his hat and began sparking electricity through his paws, then moving it along Ash's hair. Which the trainer laughed and giggled lightly, from his buddy being silly, which he happily picked Pikachu up from his back and places him down on his lap. "Come on Pikachu, knock it off." Chuckled Ash. Petting his head and then yelps when Buneary, hop up on his lap too and then cutely removed his hat. Then placing it on top of her own head, giggling and smiling with a blush.
Getting some coos from Leaf and Cindy, from the way Buneary was acting cute. To then turning her attention towards one another. As Leaf, lifted up her cup of lemonade and gently places against her lips, before speaking to Cindy. "So, Cindy...you know anything about the gym leader here? Or what they maybe specialized in?" She asked while taking a sip.
Making the older teen to hum lightly and staring at her own drink. Lightly drumming her fingers lightly against the cup...wondering if she should tell them or not? Then again, it wouldn't hurt to giving Ash some tips or advice on how to handle Sabrina...though the young trainer in question. Already beat her to the punch, after he gently picks the hat up from Buneary. Placing it back on his head, to then smiling at the girl.
"Oh, Sabrina specializes in Psychic types Leaf!" Exclaimed Ash as he goes lifting up the Pokenav, Robert was using before they arrived here. "This device, gave me a bit of info about her...as well, Robert looking her up while on our way here." He then places it on the picnic table. To then rubbing and stroking Pikachu's sides, who was humming in delight. "Already have something in mind, to handling her and the Pokemon! Since Psychic types, specializes in mostly Special traits? I figured." He then laughed and chuckled, when Pikachu...after making sure not to be knocking Buneary off. Laid onto his side and chu cutely, of wanting to be petted more now on the stomach.
"Using Pokemon, who excels in physical traits will fair more against her. Than, using Pokemon who relies on special traits." Ash then looks up at the girl. Who hums and gently wipes an arm over her lips. "Of course...having Pokemon, who can resist special traits from Pokemon. Will probably help out more, for physical attackers right?" He sheepishly asked. Making the older girl to nod lightly, while raising a finger.
"You are on the right track though Ash." Leaf said, while shimmy to her right. For Robert, to sit down and join in on the conversation, and get some food. "Though having Pokemon with Special traits, can be effective too. Especially, when using Ghost type moves, Bug type moves and even Dark type moves." Leaf then paused. While looking up in thought and humming to herself, going over the team Ash has currently. "Let's see...Blaziken and Nidoqueen are out of the question. As Fighting and Poison types, are weak to Psychic types." She then opened her right eye, leaning lightly to the right. "Lucario...might have some struggle against her, as she will receive regular damage from Psychic attacks." She then smiled.
"But being part steel, will make it hard for probably her psychic type Pokemon. To lift and toss the Pokemon around, so might want to use her then!" She then clapped her hands. "Especially, if she knows Shadow punch!" She then blinked her eyes. When Ash, gave a light chuckle..."Ah, guess you don't know how to teach her, the move yet huh?"
"That and the TM, is very hard to find." Ash then groaned lightly and shrugs his shoulders. Getting Cindy to giggle lightly and laugh a bit, as it reminded her of her friend Des. Whenever he finds something odd or frustrating, to figure out...or when items are quite expensive to buy. "Heck, some of them are quite costly, I barely have enough money as is. To even getting them, considering I mostly just buy Potions and other healing items. Along with some Pokeballs, even then..." He then took the time to sigh.
Laughing lightly when Pikachu, began whining...wanting his trainer to keep petting him. But then blushed a bit, when Buneary. Decided to go ahead and scratch along his tummy, for him and Ash...with a cute blush crossing her nose, as she smiles down at him. "It will be to much to buy, and if I did get a TM? It will make me broke." Joked the young trainer.
"Know what you mean." Robert stated with a nod. With everyone else agreeing with Ash, Technical machines are quite expensive and costly. Makes one wonder, how they even cost that much money..."There some TM Leaf and I want to get, but even together or getting them both. Is like almost 80k money, it's insane with some of the things these stores. Sell items for..." Sighed the boy frustratingly.
"Speaking of which." Leaf began saying, while then leaning on her hand and resting an elbow, on the picnic table. Lifting up a palm and spinning her wrist about. "What about that one trainer, we met back at Vermilion huh?" She said, while then thumping that hand down on the table. Causing Cindy, who was taking a sip of her drink. To cough suddenly and choking lightly on her drink, rapidly grabbing a napkin in order to not, get any lemonade on her dress.
"What was his deal!? The way he was training his Pokemon, having them doing such straining training regime, and attacking each other. Like their life depends on it, is ludicrous!" Exclaimed the teen. To even then pounding a fist into the table, gritting her teeth. "Who goes and treats their Pokemon like that?! I mean." She then throw her arms out forward.
Opening up both of her hands. "He literally had his Charizard, palming his Sneasel into the ground, without any hesitation or even looking like he cares, for their health and safety!" Growled Leaf. Making Cindy, to lightly chuckled and sheepishly looks away with a sweat drop.
Yup, seems like her friend went and fought one of them. Though which Trainer he fought, is the question...no way. He will go and fight Ash at his current strength, considering they don't want to damper the young trainer's mood, or making him feel like he has no real chance in the Pokemon league.
"Yeah!" Ash then leans forward, accidentally having both Buneary and Pikachu. Falling right off of his lap, with Pikachu winding on top of Buneary and her. Underneath him, with both Pokemon blushing furiously and staring wide eyed at one another. To then quickly separating from one another, with their faces completely red, at the same time, rubbing their paws behind their heads.
"Whatever or however he trains them, or even taught them how to fight like that. Makes me wonder, exactly how powerful Des. Really is..." Ash then grins lightly and chuckled. Considering Robert, fought him first hand...he wondered. If Robert took that lost heavily or not really well at all...though when he looked at the teen? He only saw Robert, nodding and smiling lightly at the training method being quite cruel and harsh, but effective.
"I'll say, his Sneasel was definitely tough and challenging. Being able to take on three of my Pokemon...though." Robert then chuckled and smiled lightly. "I have a feeling, which is just a gut feeling mind you." He quickly added while raising his fingers from his arm. "She tends to not take her training to seriously, considering...after the second Pokemon. She was starting to slow down and began losing stamina, while fighting my Eevee back then. But boy..."
He and Ash looked at one another with wide smiles. "Was his Pokemon team amazing! Never seen such variety or so many different Pokemon, all in one place. Have you!?" Robert asked Ash. Who rapidly nods his head and pumping his his hands.
"Yeah, they were so cool!" Ash then threw one arm up. "And did you see how some of them, looked quite different from the regular Pokemon?" He then leans forward. "What did you call them...Shiny Pokemon? Were they really shiny Pokemon, on his team Robert?" He asked and had his eyes glimmering with excitement.
When Robert nods and chuckles. "Yup, their considered to be very rare...and I mean." He then spread his hands apart. "Really, really rare Ash! I didn't think some of the Pokemon, could even look like that! He must've search for them really hard, to looking for specific Shiny Pokemon." Robert said and laughed with the boy.
This had Cindy laughing to herself and giggling lightly, at how excited the two boys were. Seems like Robert, was not upset at all about losing to Des at all. "Hell you two on about!?" Leaf shouted. Causing everyone there to look at the girl, while she stood up and thrust a finger at Robert's nose. Causing him to nervously laugh a bit.
"Robert, he literally obliterated all of your Pokemon!" She then leans away a bit. "Even though, it was quite impressive on his end." Leaf quickly shook her head and glares at the two boys. "I mean come on, aren't the two of you even worried for his Pokemon safety!? Let alone, what kind of injuries they might have to go through or how bad, their muscles maybe screaming out in protest." She exclaimed. Making Robert and Ash, to stare at one another with their eyes shifting...then back to Leaf.
Cindy, also stared lightly at the young female trainer. Definitely noticing what Des said, or informed her and Ramsez, at their meeting place near one of the routes. Leaf, seems to care for Pokemon quite a lot and may someday, wanting to possibly be a traveling Pokemon doctor someday in the future. Though...the way she was talking about Des and his training method; she may have to intervene and informed everyone. The reasoning for the training method and why, it is that Des...seems to being doing this for his Pokemon.
Heck, she and Ramsez also somewhat took this training method to heart. But not in an extent, Des takes it with his Pokemon. Considering, they have different ways of training and incorporating, their own means and methods to help improve their Pokemon, skills and abilities. To even teaching them human fighting styles or techniques...
Which is what Sneasel, used against Robert's Pokemon from the way. Leaf, was describing the movements of the Pokemon, and how it attack and fought back against Robert and his team. "Leaf..." She finally spoke up. Causing the brunette trainer, to turn her attention towards Cindy..then tilting her head lightly, curious of what she wanted? "I think there some things, I need to clear up and why it is, Des uses this training method of his. On his Pokemon, care to listen?" She asked sweetly.
Getting the young teenage girl, to blink vacantly for a bit and then nods. As she went and sat back down on the bench. Making Robert and Ash, to sigh lightly and relaxing themselves...they were afraid, Leaf might chew the two of them out. For praising such harsh training methods, to even possibly forcing or having the two of them. Find a way around Des's Pokemon, fighting techniques and abilities. If they ever wish to stand a chance, against the older teen.
"Listen Leaf, dear..." Cindy began saying while folding her hands together on top of the picnic table. Sighing lightly. "You are right, the training that Des puts his Pokemon through are somewhat harsh and inhumane...to even being quite dangerous for them." She began saying while then brushing her sideburns a bit.
"But it doesn't mean he is in the wrong, to training them in such manners. Does it?" Cindy said with a giggle and smiling up at Leaf. Who was about to argue and retort, by standing up and ready to slam her hand on the table. But pauses...shifted her eyes a bit to then sitting back down, groaning lightly and shook her head. "Heck, even I started taking on his training method for a good while. Proving to be quite effective and good for the Pokemon."
This had the three kids blinking their eyes lightly, while staring towards the older teen. "You're all probably in what way right? Well...you already seen it for yourselves." She giggled lightly. "The way Sneasel was moving about in the battlefield, reacting and bending in ways. One wouldn't even think Pokemon, could ever do or even perform from anyone." She then scratches the side of her cheek. While lightly grimacing a bit. "Though granted...it puts a lot of strain and muscle pain, for the Pokemon, who goes and tries attempting this. Even the ones on four legs, it can become quite horrible on their muscle joints."
Cindy then quickly looked up at them. "But don't think it is out of anger, or frustration or just doing it to see how far, he can go and push his Pokemon." She then raised a hand. "He cares for them and loves them, like you and I. He just wants the best for them and to seeing them, being able to handle any situation they may come across. Or getting into any dangers, they may need if they're ever separated."
"I see..." Leaf said softly while folding her hands, looking quite serious and still somewhat annoy. Someone will even do that with their Pokemon. "Including teaching his Pokemon, how to even use Human fighting styles?" She bluntly said. Causing Ash and Robert, to literally choke and cough on their drinks. Both of them trying their best, to get their lungs cleared and calming down from choking...not expecting to even hear about Pokemon, learning how to fight like a human would!
This didn't bother Cindy at all and found it amusing, how Leaf...thinks it is kind of wrong for them, to learn such techniques. "Well...nothing in the rules says, Pokemon can't learn fighting styles that regular martial artist or even regular boxers learn right?" She then giggles and grins widely, while leaning forward on the table. "And come on, Hitmonchan, Hitmonlee, Machoke and Machamp. ANY fighting type Pokemon, are basically using human like fighting styles. It is in their genetics and instincts to use human like styles."
Which Leaf groaned a bit and shook her head. "That isn't the point!" She exclaimed, while slamming her fist down. "My point is...is why does he train them like that! Why does he having them, train in such manners that. They need to fight, that they need to do it if it like." Then looks up at Cindy, with her brown eyes being quite serious.
"Like if they're life depends on it, I saw how Sneasel was moving and battling! She was fighting in such manners, as if Robert and his Pokemon. Were the enemy of war!" Declared Leaf, while glaring harshly at Cindy. Who looked quite surprised of the girl, being able to notice something like that? While then looking down in thought and staring at her hands. "Well, can you tell me why it is, you guys would even train like that?" Leaf egged on while crossing her arms. "Huh, why do you need to."
"Something...you wouldn't understand honestly." Cindy finally said. Getting the young girl to blink her eyes, to even gaining Ash and Robert's attention. After they calmed down and recovered from their choking fits. Staring confusingly at the older girl, who seemed to have quite the serious look on her face...but also an expression of we do it, because we care. "Trust me, it is something we only know and care to only share, between each other. We don't want any of you worrying or adopting in our wars." She informed and then giggles. "Cause, something tells me if I were to even tell ya? You wouldn't believe me anyway!" She laughed at the end.
Which had the trio to lightly stare at one another and back to the girl. "Anyway, the technique and training method Des is teaching his Pokemon. Is on his own occurred: Something that most trainers, have done or believes their training ways is the right way." She then leans lightly on her chair. "Heck, I've been using it for nearly two years, getting great results. But I stopped after awhile, seeing it wasn't really worth it..." Cindy then lightly rubs her hair, after lifting her sunhat just a tad. "It wouldn't be any good, if they can't be ready for any Pokemon battles or fights, they may get into with other trainers."
"So in a sense." The older girl then folds her hands back again. "What you guys may think is harsh, may be the right thing for those who uses the techniques and method. But the same could be said, about your way of training and battling. May be harsh to those, who doesn't understand how Pokemon battling works or, how trainers can train their Pokemon. Without thinking they are hurting them." She then shrugs her shoulders with a giggle. "It is black and white, no matter how one sees it...all it will end up doing in the end, is bringing in arguments and unwanted fights. So, to end it..." The girl then lightly looks at the three and then to Leaf.
"Yes it is harsh, but at the same time can be good for the Pokemon. Is it good for long hours? No, but does it bring good results for all of them." She then reaches out and gently, touches Leaf's hand. "Your heart is in the right place Leaf and don't ever change from it. Sometimes, you have to see through others eyes, to come an understanding or why they are doing this." She inform while lightly pulling away, watching the young girl look at her lightly.
"There is always two sides of a coin and two sides of a story, you just have to find them and figure it out." She said. "Plus." She then winks. "Let's be honest, boys are going to be boys, always acting tough and thinking they have to act tough. To make themselves looking strong and confident right!"
Which earn some loud giggling and fits of laughter from the two girls. "Well, if you put it that way! Then yeah it makes sense now!" Giggled Leaf. While wiping her eyes a bit. "But still, am not going to be let bit go that easily, nor will I let it not bother me. I still don't approve of it and it is wrong, to having Pokemon do such things." She said. Which Cindy happily nods and went ahead and continue eating the delicious lunch of theirs.
"Sure thing, I am not going to change your mind don't worry. Anyway, is there anything you guys want to know? I may not look like it, but I am pretty knowledgeable about Kanto quite well." Cindy offered while holding onto her sun hat, after feeling gust of winds. Beginning to blow from the back of her, causing her hat to flap a bit.
"Actually yeah!" Robert suddenly said, while turning and face the girl. Feeling Buneary, plopping herself on top of his head, waving cutely at everyone. To even lazily having one paw, swinging between his eyes. "Am curious if you know, where we could go and find some Ghost type Pokemon or even Cubone?" Robert asked, chuckling a bit. "Considering, Leaf wants to try and catch some of them and possibly add them onto her team." Informed the blue hair boy. To which Cindy giggles, while happily saying she will oblige and began giving the two information of where to find, the two Pokemon.
While Ash, who was being quiet for some time now, had began focusing his attention towards the still quiet looking Gardevoir. Who was still standing and staring down near the lakeside of the park...watching the way her white dress, will gently brush and blow up into the air for a bit. With her green hair, blowing gently up and down against her face. Her ruby eyes, showing strong focus down at the lake, with a few strand of tears...which he can barely see, from where he is at. Dropping down from the female's cheeks.
This had Ash humming and turning his attention towards the lake...wondering. Wondering if something had happened there? That would bring pain to the female Pokemon. "Pikapi?" Pikachu suddenly chanted up at Ash from below. Which alerted him and stared down at the Pokemon, to then smiling softly at the electric mouse, to then bending down lightly and pets his head. Having the electric mouse, to chuu cutely at the touch and even lean his head into the hand. When he felt Ash hands, brushing down against his ear.
"Hey Pikachu, just worry about Gardevoir..." He said while looking up at the female. To which had Pikachu doing the same, turning around and facing at Gardevoir. "She is really focus on that lake...and it is making me wonder? If, if something bad happened here in this park?" Ash stated and sat back upright again. Unaware of the tug of war, going on between Leaf and Robert's Eevee right now, after the girl had accidentally lower her arm with a pretzel...which had tempted Eevee to going after it, to then biting down on it.
Which had the girl reacting and throwing him up on the table, while trying to pry the pretzel off from the Pokemon. Who was growling and doing his best to let go, but his teeth was stuck on the food, with it; surprisingly not breaking apart. As she, Eevee and Robert, were doing their best to getting the Pokemon mouth off from the food.
"I am really worried..." Ash said and lightly crosses his arms. Sometime wishing, he was a psychic himself and could possibly, probe into Gardevoir's mind and see what it is...she is reliving of her past? Or what kind of tragic experience she had, back before being sent away from her trainer?
