Friends Forever

Chapter Two- Meeting New Friends
______________________________

I walked to the area in the forest where lots of berries grow with my Kecleon. My name is Teru. I’m 5’ 4” high and I’m 8 years old. I usually wear green shorts and a white shirt with black sneakers and white socks on. I have short black hair and emerald green eyes. I live in a town called Ratiosu, in a dense forest. It’s a small village right by the mountains in Houen. Some of the homes are in the trees while others want their homes on the ground.

I have a few friends, but also a rival. My rival’s name is Nathan. We both want to study rare pokemon. Nathan wanted to be the best legendary pokemon researcher in the world, while I wanted to study more about the legendary pokemon Latios and Latias. My dream was to ride Latios and fly into the sky, but that’s obviously not going to happen.

I have a sister and a mother. My father died years ago from a disease called lyme disease. I was only three years old when my father died. My sister was only one year old when he died. My sister’s name is Kim. She is 7 years old and owns her own pokemon called Chimecho. My mother owns a pokemon called Butterfree. We all live in a house in the trees, like some of the people there.

Our town is very well known for our little tree houses. We get some tourists here, but also get crooks and those people that want to buy the land and demolish it to make factories. So far it doesn’t seem that those business people will get the land anytime soon, since it is now a national forest called Ratiosu National Park.

Me and Kecleon went to a group of large redwood size trees to find the blue berries that mom wanted to make pies. My mom owns a bakery in the town that is very known for good food. Kecleon stood there staring at me.

“Well Kecleon, help me find the berries.” I said to Kecleon.

“Kec kec kecleon cleon.” Kecleon said.

A few seconds later I found the mother load. A bush full of dark and plump blue berries just waiting to be picked. I started picking the blue berries off the bushes. I enjoy picking berries since it gives me time to relax and forget about the crooks coming into town. Kecleon started poking me on the shoulder.

I turned around and saw what my Kecleon was pointing to. There was a boy and a girl sitting on separate branches on the tree. The boy had short bright blue hair with one spike of hair on both left and right side of his head. He was wearing black sneakers and green shorts with a white shirt on. He was about four inches taller than me and has ruby red eyes. The girl’s hair was almost the same as the boy’s hair, but it was red and her hair went down to her shoulders. She was wearing a floppy looking green hat and was wearing sandals. She was also wearing a green frilled shirt with a short red skirt. She has deep mustard yellow eyes.

I stared at them surprised, not expecting anyone to be back here in the forest. I wonder if they were pokemon trainers?

“Um hi.” I said nervously.

“Hello!” the girl said cheerfully while jumping off the branch and landed on her feet on the ground. “My name is Laurie”

“And my name is Lance.” the boy said while jumping off the branch too.

Laurie frowned when she heard the name Lance. I wonder why?

“Are you pokemon trainers?” I asked.

“Nope. Wish I was one though.” Lance said while smiling.

“Yea. You WISH you were.” Laurie said with a grin.

“Oh shut up!” Lance snapped.

I got all the berries that I could get in the small bag I was holding. Kecleon was trying to talk to Lance and Laurie, though I knew they couldn’t understand what it was saying.

“Well I got to go home now. Bye!” I said while waving my hand. “Come on Kecleon. Lets go home.”

“Kecleon.” It said.

I walked back down the path towards home while I saw those two talking to each other while staring at me. I wanted to go back and see if they were talking bad stuff about me behind my back, but I needed to get home before my mom sends Butterfree after me.

I checked my pockets to see if my blue gem was still there. Luckily it didn’t fall out of my pocket. I found it in an old temple that my school went to on a field trip. It had all kinds of hieroglyphics of rare pokemon, especially Latios and Latias. I found the blue gem in a small chamber when I abandoned the group and decided to explore by myself. I got in a lot of trouble of course by my teacher.

The chamber I found it in was small. There was two giant portraits of Latias and Latios on it, each of them had a hole on their foreheads. The hole in the Latias portrait was missing, but the Latios portrait had a blue gem, which I took as a souvenir. It glowed a little bit when I touched it, but hasn’t glowed again since then.

I smiled as I put the gem back into my pocket and kept walking down the path, not knowing that I was being followed.
