Spike: the Pokemon master
Camping on route 2
Previous ChapterNext ChapterWe had just left Accumula city, and after those Team Plasma guys left after Twilight shut them up. We walked on Route 2, and as we walked on. We discussed about what exactly those Plasma guys and that N fellow.
but I noticed something, it seemed like it was almost Sunset. And we where halfway between Accumula and Striaton City.
"Alright girls. I think we should set up camp for tonight. We'll go the Striaton City tomorrow morning." I said.
"Couldn't we just go to Striaton and stay there?" Dash asked.
"Yes, isn't that much better then sleeping in the dirt." Rarity said.
"By the time we get there, it'll be night. And I don't think fighting wild Pokemon in the dark will be good. Especially since those Pokemon won't just be Patrats and Lillipups." I said. They slowly back away.
"Alright, that looks like a good spot." I said pointing to a clear space the has trees on one side and some wild grass on the other side. I started to collect some fire wood as the girls set up there tents. I picked up some odd sticks laying on the ground, I saw Dratini jump off my shoulder and into a bush, she came out with a bunch of sticks. Man that looked cute.
We soon came back to see the girls had all there tents set up. I soon placed the sticks in the middle of them.
"Can we help?" Twilight asked.
"Yeah sure, find some rocks and then we'll find a way to light this." I said, the girls nodded as we all left the site and into the trees.
Applejack decided to join me as we looked around for rocks big enough.
"So how long have ya been doin' this?"
"Ever since I left for Kanto back when I was eleven."
"How'd ya parents react?"
"Well, my father didn't react well. But my mom supported the entire way. What about your family?" I asked.
" we'll, mah brother tried to stop me, telling me Ah could get hurt. But Ah kept telling him that we would be with a professional." She said
"You think I'm a professional?" I ask her.
"Of coarse! Ah've only known ya for a little while but you've sown me ya have a lot of potential."
"Thanks. So Applejack, I have a little bit of knowledge on the Equestrian region. Could you tell me a little bit about it, like the types of Pokemon."
"Sure. We mostly have Equine Pokemon, but also some Flying, Steel and dragon types to."
"Uh, interesting. So what do you do?" I asked her.
"Ah work on mah farm, Sweet Apple Acres. It has the best and finest apples in all of Equestria." She said, she reached into her bag and pulled out an apple. She threw it to me which I caught.
"Go on, try it." She said, I took a bit out of it. Man it's so sweet.
"Whatcha think?" She asked as I swallowed the piece.
"That is one very good apple." I said, she gave me a hearty smile. We then heard a scream, sounded like Twilight.
"Twilight!" Applejack said, we rushed to her scream. As we got there, we saw about three knocked out Patrats and Twilight petting her Ponyta's head.
"What happened?" I asked.
"Well these Patrat's came out of nowhere as I found some rocks we could use. Then Ponyta here knocked them all out. In fact o think she's learned a new move." Twilight explained, her Ponyta neighed and started to nuzzle Twilight's hand.
"Well..this is interesting." I said, soon the other four girls popped up.
"What happened, are you okay Twilight?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"Don't worry I'm fine. Did you girls find any rocks?" She asked.
The four girls showed us some large rocks and stones.
"Okay, that should be enough. Lets head back." I said. They all nodded as we made our way through the forest. We soon arrived back at the campsite and set up the rocks and sticks to make a fire.
"Alright, anyone have any idea how to light this?" I asked, Twilight's Ponyta then blew some fire from its mouth and the fire started to burn.
"Looks like it learned Ember, congrats Twilight." I said, she Blushed as her Ponyta showed off in pride. I rolled my eyes, I then saw a spray of water hit the Ponyta, causing it to stop showing off in pride and fall over. I say my Dratini with a smug grin in her face. The event caused us and our Pokemon to laugh, and slowly the Ponyta laughed to.
Afterwards, we sat around the campfire as the sun finally started to set. I then decided to bring out food for dinner. We ate and enjoyed, but I soon got a call on my cell phone, I answered it and I heard Proffeser Juniper.
"Hello Spike!"
"Hey there Juniper. What's up?"
"Where are you?" She asked.
"We're about halfway on Route 2, we should reach Striaton city tomorrow." I said.
"Are the girls all okay? Have they battled or caught any Pokemon?"
"Well earlier today Fluttershy caught a Lillipup, and Twilight's Ponyta learned Ember."
"Well that's good, any problems?"
"Apart from a weird group of people called Team Plasma, and some guy named N, everything was normal in Accumula."
"That's right, I saw that on the news. It was funny how he was shut up by Twilight using you as an example."
"Yeah, It was."
"Oh, and Spike."
"Yes?"
"I wanted to check up something at your house and I found your tent here."
"You mean I didn't pack it?"
"Yes." I face palmed, how could I forget my tent.
"I'm sure you'll find something out, but I have a task for you and the girls."
"Okay, what is it?" I asked.
"I need you to visit a friend of mine, Proffeser Fennel. She's currently conduction experiments on Pokemon Dreams. She may need help with some so please go over."
"Sure, where's her house?"
"Last house on the right."
"Okay, anything else?" I asked.
"Hmm...nope, nothing else."
"Alright, bye Juniper."
"Bye Spike." She said as I hung up and put my phone away.
"Who was it?" Twilight asked.
"Well-"
"Was it Professor Juniper who wanted us to visit a friend of hers called Proffeser Fennel, and help her if we can. And also that you forgot your tent?" Pinkie asked.
"Y-yes. How Did you know all of that?" I asked her.
"Just a hunch." She said giggling. I was about to respond but Applejack whispered.
"It's just Pinkie being Pinkie. Don't bother understanding, even ah don't understand her." I obeyed her words.
"Wait, ya don't have ya tent with you?" She asked.
"Yeah, I forgot." I said embarrassed.
"Mah tents big enough for two, ya can stay in there if ya want."
"Really, I don't want to bother you." I said.
"Ya won't be a bother."
"Alright, if you insist." I said.
We talked into the night, until it was time to go to bed. I followed Applejack into her tent as I pulled out my Sleeping bag. Dratini jumped off of my shoulder as I set it down. I looked to see Applejack's Riolu shivering, but Dratini wrapped her self around him as she laid her head on his shoulder. I saw him blush as he stopped shiver and also slowly closed his eyes.
"Now that's adorable." Applejack said, I chuckled. I agreed.
"Well, night Spike." She said as she took off her Stetson, put her bag away climbed into her sleeping bag.
"Goodnight Applejack." I said as I put my bag away, my cap off and got onto my sleeping bag. I slowly feel asleep and let sleep consume me.
