Chapter 5 After making sure that Ren was in perfect condition at the Accumula Town Pokemon Center, Brenda figured that a little sightseeing of the first town she’d visited outside her own would be beneficial. She tried taking Ren by his hand, but he would just push hers away, so she gave up and only made sure that he was following where she went. Just next to the Pokemon Center was a small park with two benches, where three kids of around six were playing catch with a lillipup. “What do you say, Ren? Do you want to play catch?” Ren turned away, and growled. “I guessed so,” she shrugged, and stuck her tongue out. They went around the town, looking at the small brick buildings without actually going in. Brenda talked with some people passing by, however, who gave her advice on starting her journey. A kind old man even gave her a pokeball as a gift! Accumula Town’s people seemed to be kind, and Brenda felt as though she were just in an extension of her home town. She also spotted a small cafe, which she promised Ren they would dine in for lunch. When they were just about to complete their clockwise rotation of the town, which wasn’t as big as she had imagined, they found a staircase that led to a house. The view from there was fantastic. The rosy trees that spread across the land, and far away she thought she could see a river flowing. Here and there, the trees would tremble, though it was not from the breeze - it was due to small pokemon jumping from branch to branch, finding newborn fruit to eat. The aroma, coupled with music someone was playing on the piano, made spring, Brenda’s favorite season, all the more splendid. Brenda and Ren came down after a good twenty minutes observing the view, and completed their sightseeing. “Now that we have our senses relaxed, let’s go back to Route 1 and train a little. What do you say?” This time, Ren seemed to be invigorated by the proposal. They ran all the way to the tall grass, and actively looked for a match. Soon enough they ran into a pair of wild patrats. “Easy, Ren is a fighting type, so we have this match in our hands,” Brenda whispered to herself. “Ren, use Vacuum Wave!” However, when she thought he would attack, he instead received two tackles from his opponents. Then, gathering himself up from being pushed back, he plunged straight into one patrat and with the momentum, he also shoved the other. The two opponents fainted instantly. “Huh?” Brenda needed a few seconds to understand what had happened. Meanwhile, Ren jumped up and down, celebrating his first victory. “Oh, you must have used Counter. It’s also a fighting type move alright … but you could’ve avoided two tackles had you used priority move Vacuum Wave.” Brenda pouted, and Ren giggled at her face. “Come over, let me treat your wounds.” As Ren walked towards Brenda, however, he heard a bush rustle nearby. More concerned with a possible foe, Ren changed directions and jumped into the bush. “Ren, come back!” Come back, he did immediately, but not without company. A startled pidove was pecking all over his head, and the little Riolu could do nothing but run in circles. “Oh no, flying type attacks are super-effective against fighting types,” Brenda said. “Ren, come back! You can’t fight in your condition.” Even then, Ren tried to punch the pigeon, missing each time and receiving pecks on his head instead. Soon, Ren tripped over, and watched as the pidove retreated into the sky, only to come back at full force to deal its final blow. He closed his eyes, and braced himself for a shockwave of pain. “Ren!” he only heard his name being called. One second, two seconds passed, and yet the pain did not arrive. Ren finally opened his eyes, and caught the pidove flying away with blood on its beak. In front of him, his trainer was sitting with a hand pressing the other arm, which was tainted in a spider web of blood. “Don’t worry about me,” she said, as she noticed Ren gazing at her arm in shock. “We must get to the Pokemon Center to treat our wounds. I hope I don’t scare people looking like this.” Brenda laughed, but the way her cheeks twitched gave away her pain. Both of them stood up, and walked back to the center as fast as possible. Nurse Joy was surprised to see them looking as though they’d gone to war. She had only seen them looking fresh a couple of hours ago. “My my, come here young lady. Let’s stop your bleeding before anything,” she said, and lent Brenda her arms for support. They walked over to a small consulting room, and Nurse Joy asked Brenda to sit down. With skills polished over years of experience, the nurse applied a white ointment which smelt like mint over the wound, and then put a large bandage over it. “I’m covering it for now to avoid infection, but once the blood clots you should remove it to allow the skin to repair itself.” Brenda nodded. “You have to be more careful. Human skin is more delicate that a pokemon’s. Don’t over-exert yourself, alright?” “Yes Nurse Joy, thanks for tending my wounds,” Brenda smiled. In the meanwhile, Ren had been guided by Nurse Joy’s partner, an Audino, to a separate, larger room with many pokemon. Two other Audinos were tending pokemon’s wounds with potions, full restores and full heals. Since this time, Ren’s wounds were not mere scratches from being pushed down to the ground by his trainer, the treatment stung much more. Ren complained, but the Audino persisted, and did not give up until she had covered all his head and legs with bandages. Once they were done, they came out to the waiting hall, where they found Nurse Joy and Brenda standing. At the sight of his trainer, however, Ren looked down to his feet, and walked forcefully. The girl ran over, and kneeled in front of him, careful not to touch him, lest she may cause him pain. “Oh Ren, look at those bandages! Do your wounds still hurt?” Ren did not make a sound, and did not raise his head. “Nurse Joy,” Brenda called the lady, who was still behind her. “I think Ren’s still in pain. He usually at least growls when I talk to him.” Nurse Joy squatted down to check Ren, but could not find a reason for residual pain. She then asked him again, whether he was in pain. Ren slowly moved his head sideways, but still stationed it looking down. Nurse Joy contemplated the Riolu with a hand to her chin. “I think he’s not in pain, but he is depressed.” Brenda looked at her, surprised. “Depressed? Why?” Then she thought again, and said, “Oh, because he lost the battle against the pidove?” She looked back at Ren. “Don’t worry, Ren. One has to lose, to become stronger and win the next time,” she giggled. “This was just practice. We’ll train hard, so we can win our first badge in Striaton City!” Her cheerfulness still wasn’t infecting Ren. “Perhaps Ren is sad that he caused his trainer to get hurt,” Nurse Joy commented. As though he were affirming this, Ren let out a soft growl. Brenda batted her eyes. For a minute or so, she also seemed to have turned into stone, much like her pokemon looked. “Um, Miss Brenda?” even Nurse Joy had to call her. Then, with no premonition whatsoever, she lunged at Ren and locked him into a tight embrace. From where they stood, only Nurse Joy and Audino could see Ren’s blank expression over Brenda’s trembling shoulder. “I’m so happy. Beyond happy,” she said with a clouded voice. “That you’re concerned about me. I’m glad we are starting to build our friendship.” She then let go of Ren, and wiped her eyes with a quick, rough movement of her hand. “I know this is only the beginning, but I’ll eventually convince you that having a trainer is the best thing ever!” Nurse Joy and Audino smiled behind her, and Ren only looked at her with eyes that could be shining in admiration, but also seemed to be widened in disbelief. From a corner of the Pokemon Center, a shadow only watched as the girl picked up her Riolu, and sat him over her shoulders.

sorry you can wait this time - the script is too slow on my end

@StarryDreamerKitten I think it's stuck so we'll have to redo (hopefully it doesn't keep bugging)

I'll wait then (ID Candy)

I'll get the gengar on credit then

Also I totes forgot to breed you a shiny spiritomb :/ I guess I can give it to you when I do Nakoles' trades? Edit: also let me know when to request!

Sorry Nakoles hasn't come online yet... but if you'd like we can do our side of the trade first since you requested 7 mons and that'd be two trades anyway

This is awesome Thanks! I'll look forward to if/when you update for more alolan sprites

No problem @Nakoles If you're good with your side of the trade (5IV trapinch and sneasel for 5IV makuhita and scraggy), then you can send me the two mons over so I can do the trade (and get your mons to you afterwards) I'm not available to trade now, but will be tomorrow at around this time or a little earlier.

Chapter 4 Probably the one caught most off-guard was Cheren. So much so that his quick wit was surpassed by Bianca’s reaction. “So you’re naming him Ren?” she asked. “You said you were taking it from part of the best trainer’s name. Could you mean Cheren’s?” Hearing his thoughts out-loud, Cheren’s face instantly turned a bright pink. He looked away, as to conceal half of his face. Without any notice of his mind, however, Brenda bursted out laughing. “I didn’t realize that his name also contained a ‘Ren’,” she said. The two other youngsters batted their eyes, and Professor Juniper only smiled. “As much as I esteem you,” Brenda told Cheren. “You just aren’t the best trainer, and won’t be, as long as I, Brenda, live.” She wiped off her tears, product of her laughter. Cheren, turning even more red, snapped back, “You just see, I’ll become the best trainer, and I’ll make you take back your words.” “That’s a challenge I’ll accept,” Brenda winked. “Well then, now that we have sorted all the starter business out,” Bianca said. “I think it’s time for us to leave Nuvema Town. Thanks for everything, Professor.” “Thank you too, for making me a proud teacher and professor. I hope your journey will be thrilling and nurturing for you and your pokemon.” “I’m sure it’ll be, I’m going to force it to be so,” Brenda said, forming a fist on her right hand. “Do please keep yourselves safe, though,” Professor Juniper chuckled. Cheren stepped forward, with a hand on his chest. “No worries, I’ll, erm, keep an eye on the rowdy child,” he replied, and pushed his glasses up his nose bridge. “Stop treating me like a child! I’m already fourteen years old, you know.” “Well, I’m fifteen, and therefore your senpai.” “Only by a month,” she said, and bit her fist. “Now, now,” Professor Juniper said. “And do expect a call from me on your birthday, Brenda.” “Thank you.” “If any of you need anything, don’t hesitate to call me. I’ll go back to the lab now.” “Good bye, Professor.” The trio then waved their hands to the professor, as she returned to Nuvema Town. “Ok, let’s go then,” Cheren said, and Bianca followed. “Wait guys,” Brenda called them back. “What is it,” Bianca asked her, concerned because her friend looked uneasy. “I- I won’t be going with you guys.” Bianca widened her eyes, and Cheren, who is usually composed in any situation, looked as though he’d been hit on the head with a rock. “What do you mean?” he whispered, but since none of his friends could hear him, Bianca asked the same question loudly. “If I said it’s because I need to befriend Ren, and wouldn’t want to slow you guys down, that’d be a lie. The truth is, I want to learn to survive by myself. To make many mistakes, and always stand back up, with only my two legs to depend on.” Brenda scratched her neck, and let out an uncomfortable laugh. “I feel I’ll end up depending on you guys too much, as I’ve done all my life up until now. That’s why, I want to go my separate way. Ren only gave me a reason to make up my mind.” Her two friends were visibly disappointed, but in the end, they smiled. “We understand,” Bianca said. “But I think I’ve depended on you more than you’ve depended on me. I think I would like to learn to be independent too.” “Yeah, it wouldn’t be that different if we hung out with the same old friends,” Cheren laughed. “Thanks guys, you’re the best! Now, let’s go. Our way is still the same until the end of Route 1.” Cheren and Bianca started walking, and Brenda looked back at her Riolu, who had been watching them talk for a while. “Ren, let’s go,” Brenda stretched her hand to him, but Ren looked away with a dissatisfied growl. “You know, you will look back to this day someday, and think ‘man, I was stupid for disliking my trainer, for she’s awesomeness all around’. I just know it!” She scooped Ren up with both arms, and placed him on top of her shoulders. “When my father visited me as a child, he’d pick me up like this and say, ‘Brenda, if you shift your view a little, look at how different your world seems, even though it’s the same old Nuvema Town you’ve known your whole life’.” Ren growled and complained by flailing his legs and pulling Brenda’s hair, but rather delicately. “My father can’t do this now, of course, since I’m a grown girl, but I can do it to you. Now, I don’t think I’ll be able to once you evolve into a Lucario, so take it as a limited-time offer.” The pokemon still kept pulling on her hair, which wasn’t hurting, but was still annoying. “Stop that, I won’t be letting you down, whatever you try,” Brenda laughed, and started running. Midway to Accumula Town, Brenda ran past her two friends, who had paused to battle some wild pokemon. “Slowpokes, I’m winning the race,” she said as she waved back at them. “Since when is this a race?” Cheren shouted back, but Brenda couldn’t hear from her own laughter. “Brenda, she’s a really amazing girl,” Bianca commented. “Amazing and carefree, a toxic combination, if you ask me,” Cheren sighed. “I… I don’t want to lose,” Bianca smiled, and began running after her childhood friend. “Wait, Bianca, Brenda! Agh, these girls,” Cheren complained, but also smiled. At the entrance of Accumula Town, Brenda, and then Bianca, stopped to wait for their last friend. After a little pause, Brenda spoke up. “Here’s where we part ways. Let’s try to cut all the cheesy stuff, and-” She was cut short by Bianca’s sudden embrace, which surprised both Brenda and Ren alike. “I’ll miss you Brenda, I don’t know how I’ll live without you.” “Now, now. This is what I meant by-” “Cheesy or not, I just can’t imagine myself without you. You’ve been a constant in my life.” “I have been, haven’t I?” Brenda laughed. “But it’s not like we won’t be seeing each other often. After all, we’ll be taking on the same Unova League, at a similar pace.” “I know but,” Bianca tightened her embrace. “It won’t be all the time. At least let me give you an extra long hug, so I may live without seeing you for a while.” “Ok, ok, but don’t tighten anymore, I can’t breathe.” “Oh sorry,” Bianca let go, and wiped her face. “I think I got carried away.” “No worries. I’ll be missing you too, for a while.” Once Brenda and Bianca had stopped their dramatic parting scene, Cheren stepped in, and placed a small bag on both of their hands. “What’s this, Cheren?” Brenda asked, and then opened the bag to find two potions, a container of pecha, cheri and chesto berries, another container of pokemon food, and some human snack bars. “All this for us?” Bianca exclaimed. “Thank you, Cheren.” “Cheren, always the well-prepared senpai of the group,” Brenda laughed. “Please don’t do anything stupid when I’m not around, or actually, also when I’m around,” Cheren scratched his head. Brenda then gave him a quick hug, which caught him largely off-guard. Ren had to hold on tight to Brenda’s ponytail, in order to conserve balance. “I will, I’m not stupid,” she stretched a thumbs up inches from his blank face. “Now, I’m off to explore the world!” Brenda raised her hand, and waved at her friends while running away in the direction of the Pokemon Center. The two who stayed behind, watched in silence as Brenda, with Ren still on her shoulders, entered the Center, and were off their sight. Bianca glanced at Cheren, who was still looking in that direction, his face’s redness just starting to fade. “Your feelings are obvious,” Bianca commented, which woke Cheren from the trance. “Huh? Ah, well. They don’t seem to be, though.” “With Brenda… Let’s say you’ll need more than a subtle coloration of the face to get to her.” Leaving that thought with him, Bianca also waved her hand, and went off her way.
