Arius was surprised. He'd expected her to be much more stubborn.
"H-huh?" he replied, distracted. "O-oh. Yeah. Weird. Well, I guess, I mean, we started at the same time, so we'll probably see each other around for a while." Arius fidgeted for a moment. "Listen, I guess I should apologize too...
"Hello," Arius said cooly, as he unlocked his door. He'd put all of his pokemon away before arriving at his room, and was about to ignore her and continue on inside, before blurting out. "I don't suppose you're going to apologize for your rude behavior and accusations against my Pokemon from...
As much as Arius had wanted to go to route 2 and find another Pokemon, it had gotten dark, and it would be best to rest up and book a room in the pokemon center. His father had always said, when you can get a room at the pokemon center, GET IT. They tended to fill up quickly as people taking on...
Arius had gone to the pokemon center and healed up his pokemon. At first, the Rattata was afraid of the pair when it was released from the ball, and it had tried to escape. The pokemon had nearly run onto the road before Riolu swooped in and saved it. Unlike with Eevee, Riolu didn't seem...
Arius had kept a passive eye on Harmony and her pokemon but for the most part ignored them. He had to foclus on Riolu- he didn't want the poor thing getting hurt.
By now they had started to experiment with a new technique- counter. It would be the only fighting type move Riolu would be able to...
Arius and Riolu had walked off into Route 1 soon after the exchange. "Alright Riolu, this part of training is pretty simple. I know you're not too used to fighting yet but dont worry. Most of the pokemon around this area are really low level, so they shouldnt be to hard to take down!"
The...
Arius let out a scoff of disbelief, and crossed his arms. "First off, pokemon are living things, just like us. They're going to want things or not want things, and we can't force them to feel or not feel certain ways. Secondly, if Riolu had wanted to just attack your pokemon, it would have done...
"Well, we happened to see you from across the way, and I mentioned how Eevee has a lot of potential. I guess he got kind of jealous about it." Arius' eyebrows came together, a tad offended. "Hey may be jealous but Riolu isn't a bully. He's trying to challenge your Eevee to a battle. To prove...
Arius quickly finished putting away the last of his essentials in his backpack. it was significantly smaller than Harmony's bag, but it was definitely well packed. Riolu was sitting on Arius' bed, looking around, while Casey sniffed and scratched at the door. Arius' mother had burst into tears...
"Arius," the boy replied, "It's nice to meet you." He was quiet for another moment. It wasn't that he was bad at making friends-he'd always been very sociable, it was just that he was so distracted with his own thoughts. He'd just gotten a Pokemon. They'd be here any minute, and then...well...
"O-oh..." Arius deflated a little when Eevee was chosen. He'd always been a fan of the forms it could take, but what was done was done. Eevee was out of the question. He'd have to catch one later. Arius eyed the other Pokemon. It really wouldn't be fair of him to choose a pokemon like Charmander...
Arius followed along, curious himself. The field was large, and some Pokemon were seen playing about, and frolicking in the sunlight. "These pokemon were bred for general research," the aid explained. "Like our usual starters, they've been kept until mature enough to go off with a trainer."...
"M-me?" Arius replied, a little startled. He'd expected to be ignored, and hadn't really planned on getting a pokemon today, or ever. "U-uh, well, I suppose I am. I, uh, just wanted to see what you had available, I guess. I'm...not sure if I'm prepared for a journey..."
The aide nodded...
Arius waved at the few of the aides. Some gave him puzzled looks. His silence and aimlessness suggested he was expecting something, but there probably wasn't anything scheduled for today. One of the aides began to approach Arius, and for a moment his eyebrows raised in polite curiosity as he...
Arius was walking behind a girl struggling horribly with her backpack.
The bakery was en-route to the lab, and as he'd crossed the street, Arius noticed a girl leaving the shop, her bag stuffed to the brim. The young man wondered if it was as messy inside as it looked from the outside. Arius...
It was a beautiful Saturday morning in Pallet Town. Trainers and non-trainers alike were going about their business, be it grocery shopping or getting ready for their next stop on their Gym League Challenge. This year was rather important- the Elite Four, Kanto's most prized and powerful...
