CHAPTER 7
"Elekid use Thunder Punch!" Paul order.
The round-bodied Pokémon march to its opponent which is a Staravia with it's fist lighten up and sparks flew around it.
By on the side, acting as referee, Nyla watch the match with Eevee and Pikachu by her side also engross to the match.
On their journey to Hearthome City, they cross path with a trainer name Samuel which on his journey to Oreburgh City to collect his second badge but the boy was challenge by Paul upon seeing his Staravia which is an evolve form of Starly.
"Dodge it!" Samuel order the flying pokemon.
However, it was too late as Elekid was quite a fast pokemon being an electric type itself jump of the ground and hit the flying type pokemon directly which a critical hit. Staravia than fall on the ground after being hit as it faint from being hit by such effective move.
"Staravia, no!"
"Staravia no longer able to battle! Elekid win!" Nyla announce which make both her partners cheer loudly.
Samuel summon back his pokemon with a sad smile. "You did great, Staravia."
"Huh." Paul smirk. "I think your pokemon are just pathetic."
"What did you said?!"
"Would you look at that? A weak and deaf trainer." He smugly taunt. "No wonder your pokemon was so weak."
"Why you!" The taunted trainer fuming in rage and ready to attack.
"Samuel right?" The reddish brown hair girl step up with her usual calm attire.
The asked boy blinks few times. "Y-yeah, why?"
She gave him a close eyes smile. "Nah, just making sure. I think that Staravia of yours are quite splendid." She praise.
"But he lose." The boy state in discourage.
Nyla shrug. "It's the law of battle. One lose and other win. That's that. Don't let it bring you down. After all, I think your Staravia is very well taking care off."
"Y-you think so?"
"Absolutely!" She cheer. "Those Aerial Ace was spot on. It did some quite lots of damage given its disadvantage type."
"You notice!" Samuel eyes brighten up. "Staravia and I have been practicing that move a lots."
The girl chuckle. "And those practice worth it."
"You're joking." Paul piped in. "His Staravia lose in the end. That just showed that it was weak, what more prove do you need?"
The other male trainer narrow his eyes in rage while Nyla sigh.
"Sorry about that Grumpy Grump." She apologize to Samuel which was taken a back. "He woke up on the wrong side this morning, so that's why he more grumpy than usual."
"I'm not grumpy!"
"See?" She point over the scowl boy.
Samuel watch in bit bewildered on the so much opposite duo than state.
"Don't worry about his too much. He always like that." Nyla wave her hand dismissingly. "But I got some tips for you if you don't mind."
"I could use some actually."
"Can your Staravia use Quick Attack?" The female trainer ask which earn her a nod. "That fantastic! You see, why don't use an Attack as a Defence. Like Quick Attack, it actually a great move since it's allow your pokemon to strike first which also allow them to dodge an attack. If you think that your pokemon won't be able to dodge in time, just use Quick Attack which boost their speed. Easy right?"
Samuel listen to her in awe than his eyes brighten up. "That was awesome! Using an attack in such way, I never thought of that! Thank you so much!"
With that the boy part away to search for nearby Pokemon Center to heal up his pokemon.
After waving him off, Nyla and Paul get back to their journey as they walk side by side with Pikachu and Eevee running around, chasing each other.
"Why did you praised that guy so much?" the purple hair boy break the silent.
Nyla peek over him. "Jealous much?"
"Just answer that question, damn it." He snap which make her giggle.
The girl shrug. "I just think that everyone have room to improve. You did get strong or be the best immediately. It could took some times through some rough journey to archive them, which mean, everyone could be strong with efforts and dream. They made them want to reach those dream so much that those dream wasn't impossible at all."
Along her speech, Paul stay in silent with his thought remembering his brother. "Well, what happen when they stop dreaming?"
"They don't." She automatically state. "No one stop dreaming, they just change it, not because they lose hope but could rather be, they found something else they want too."
The purple hair boy frown as he listened to her. "What about you?" He glance to the girl that holding the egg's container. "Do you have one?"
"I do actually." Her eyes brighten up. "I have always want to be a historian. I want to learn more about the history of pokemon and their legends. I know that there are so many more to be discover and I want to know more about them. Like those legendary pokemon. How was they were born? What roles they plays around the others? What made them so different? I want to even meet them all." She ramble than glance to her partners. "Of course, I need you guys help to achieve them. What do you guys think?"
Eevee and Pikachu glance at each other than back to their trainer, happily jumping around saying that they gladly help her. They then climb over and rest over her shoulder. They nuzzle fondly at each of her cheeks showing their affection making her giggle.
Nyla than glance over him. "What about you?"
Paul huff. "Why should I tell you?"
"But I told you mine!" She pout.
"I never told you too, how pathetic."
"Paul is meanie!" The female trainer keep hitting her other companion who try his best to dodge her hits.
"Stop- You- Hey!"
The sound of both trainers arguing fill around the forest making few pokemon came out and only watch in confuse at their interaction. Upon feeling that they're no threat to them, they walk away to continue their daily life.
Meanwhile, Eevee and Pikachu watch in amuse as their trainer keep poking to annoy the purple hair boy who they learn have been quite an opposite character to theirs but they could help but notice how happy their trainer is whenever they're together.
Paul have grows so annoy that he quicken his pace which only amuse the girl much more. They also end up finding that they have arrive at Hearthome City much sooner than expected.
"Come on Mr. Grumpy Head. Let's go to the Pokemon Center!" Nyla happily cheer.
"I" He pant. "Honestly. Hate. Her." He practically out of breath as he spoke up those words leaving Pikachu and Eevee giggle as they pat his legs in comforting manner as they're used to the girl's antics.
