Chapter 1: Meeting the second thief.
I was there when the lab was robbed and when two pokemon were stolen. Yes, that's right, two, not one.
I watched from my perch in a tree as a red-haired boy jumped through a broken window and followed behind. I went unnoticed as he walked over to some sort of device that held two pokeballs. It did have three but some boy that lived in the area took one and went to pick up something that the professor wanted. Shortly after the professor left with his assistants, leaving the lab unguarded.
The red-haired boy picked up both of the pokeballs and looked at them, looking like he was trying to remember what pokemon was in each of them. Just as he decided and was about to put one in his pocket, I snatched it from my hand.
He glared at me while I tutted at him, "Why would his son only steal one pokemon when he has the chance for two?"
"What do you want?" He pratically growled at me and tried to take the pokeball back but I stepped away.
"Now, now, Silvey. I'm here for the same reason you are, I mean, I never really started my own journey, or had a starter pokemon. So I came to get one, only to find you had beaten me to it." I studied the pokeball he wanted so badly as he continued to glare, "You know, that water-type would suite you better. Matches your personality and you'll be able to defend your Sneasel from fire."
Silver raised an eyebrow, "What about yours? And fire is suppossed to reflect your personality?"
"My little Ai can defend herself. And no, I just prefer fire to water. I would have chosen the grass-type but it seems-"
Our heads turned when the door burst open and the professor ran in, "Theives! The pokemon!"
"It seems we'll have to settle this later."
Before I even got to finish my scentence Silver was out of the window.
"I apologise. The pokemon will be taken care of properly." I said before following Silver out the window.
It wasn't long before I found him again, in route 29, fighting with a boy and a Chikorita. The Totodile he was using was getting beaten pretty badly. That's going to effect his pride.
"Aww, Silvey!" I whined, earning another glare, "You didn't wait for me!"
The other boy looked at me, looking slightly confused. He had black hair and wore a black and gold cap.
"Is she a friend of yours?"
Silver said "no" at the same time I said "yes".
"Harsh..." I muttered to myself, "But you won't get very far with Totodile."
"Why do you think I wanted Cyndaquil?"
"Daiki." I corrected Silver.
"Whatever." Silver huffed before going back to the battle, which was practically over anyway, "Why would the professor give a starter pokemon to someone as weak as you?" He asked as his Totodile was knocked aside. He returned it while muttering "Pathetic" and walked off, shoving the other boy out off the way.
Something fell to the ground and the boy picked it up. It was Silver's trainer card.
"So that's his name." He thought out loud before turning his attention on me, "So you must be the other theif that I was told about. Hand over the other pokemon."
"Heh, no. Just like Silver I have my reasons for stealing this pokemon."
"Whatever reasons you have, you had no right to steal that pokemon!" The boy's voice was starting to get louder and the Chikorita infront of him looked liked it was going to attack at any minute.
I frowned as a crowd seemed to start gathering a little ways off. This isn't going to end well if I don't get away now.
"Fine, a battle it is then. You win I give up the pokemon, I win you let me go."
"Ok, but you use the pokemon you stole AND you'll hand yourself in for theft."
"Fine by me." I held up the pokeball that was still in my hand, "Daiki, let's go!"
The small shrew pokemon appeared in a beam of light infront of me and looked up curiously, tilting his head. Daiki then looked at the Chikorita. Both of them looked reluctant to fight until the boy told Chika, the name of the Chikorita, to use Tackle. Daiki dodged but when I told him to attack he didn't and when Chika attacked again he didn't dodge, taking the attack full on. He didn't attack or dodge the next few times either and looked like he was at his limit. Daiki refused to fight his old friend.
"Daiki..." I thought for a moment before returning him to his pokeball, "Well, looks like I lose."
The boy looked confused, "You'd give up just like that, even though you'd have to hand yourself in."
I shrugged before throwing him Daiki's ball, "No point trying. You can't force someone to fight a friend. It looks like you've already trained your Chikorita and this was Daiki's first fight, also can't push him to hard. If I was using Little Ai on the other hand..."
"But-you..."
"I'm a theif, not cold hearted. I could never put anyone through that." I was about to say something else but notice a certain red haired boy stood behind the other one, "Oh, hey Silver. I was wondering when you'd notice something missing."
"Give me that!" Silver snatched his trainer card back then muttered something that sounded like, "Only a wimp would give up that easily."
"It's not like you didn't lose completely, and you've had more experience then this guy."
Silver just said, "Whatever" before walking away.
After making a quick stop at the pokemon centre, the boy (whom was called Ethan I was told and of course gave him my own name, Rei) decided to make the trip back almost immediatly. After he had calmed down, Ethan was quite a nice guy, but still couldn't see why I gave up so easily, although he had stopped asking. On the way he decided to make conversation.
"You acted like you knew Silver. But that guy looks like he would never be nice to anyone, ever."
I chuckled, "Yeah, we used to be friends when we were little. But something happened and he changed so quickly. I don't know why, he refuses to tell me." I pulled out Ai's pokeball and let her walk next to me, "Ai here, was actually a gift from him. He also has a Sneasel. But that is all you're getting from me. Sorry."
"Wha-"
Thump!
I walked over and plucked Daiki's pokeball out of Ethan's bag, (and maybe some money as well. I'll pay him back later).
"Sorry kid. Shouldn't have trusted me so easily. You were right, I don't give up just like that." I chuckled and started to walk away, "C'mon Ai."
