Shadow Fire Posted January 31, 2011 Author Share Posted January 31, 2011 Silver had already made it to Olivine City and made a beeline directly for the Gym. Maybe a few more battles will distract me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorruptedMoon Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 "We're getting better and better." Ethan said with a smile as he patted his starter's head. Cynder purred softly in content. "Let's hurry to the city and explore a bit before we take on the gym." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Fire Posted January 31, 2011 Author Share Posted January 31, 2011 "What the hell?!" Silver's voice echoed throughout the gym. "Nobody's here?!" Scowling, Silver listened as the gym representative told him of the leader's absence due to the lighthouse's sick Pokemon. "Ugh..." he hissed, turning away. "Forget it." With a growl, he rushed outside, only to have someone bump into him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorruptedMoon Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 "Whoa!" Ethan fell back in surprise. He looked up and bit back a groan, 'Why am I not surprised?' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Fire Posted January 31, 2011 Author Share Posted January 31, 2011 Grunting as he was hit, Silver prepared to glare at his assailant, his expression immediately softening as he saw Ethan. Closing his eyes and shaking his head, he reached down and lifted the other boy to his feet. "Ethan..." he said after a few moments. "If you're after the leader, she's not here. Something about the lighthouse Pokemon. It's apparently sick. So, you may have to wait before getting to battle her. If you need any Pokemon that can surf you across water... you can use Snappy for now." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorruptedMoon Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Ethan stared at his rival warily, "Why...are you offering to help me?" He asked, completely confused and slightly nervous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Fire Posted January 31, 2011 Author Share Posted January 31, 2011 A blank expression showed on Silver's face. "Why?" he repeated, before shaking his head. "You're asking a question which I don't know the answer to." Handing Ethan the Monster Ball for Snappy, the red-haired boy closed his eyes. "Use him well..." he mumbled. "You can be sure of his power." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorruptedMoon Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Ethan bit his lip harshly, nearly drawing blood. He was confused and it made him slightly frightened. But he finally spoke with uncertainty, "Thank you..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Fire Posted January 31, 2011 Author Share Posted January 31, 2011 Silver smirked slightly, giving Ethan a thumbs-up. "Thank me..." he said softly. "...when you succeed. I will be waiting in Olivine... for your return." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorruptedMoon Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Ethan nodded slowly before starting to walk away. He paused, looking back at Silver. An unidentifiable emotion flashed through his eyes before he looked away and ran off to the water routes, toward Cinawood City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Fire Posted January 31, 2011 Author Share Posted January 31, 2011 Silver decided he'd go to the nearby Pokemon Center and wait. He knew it would likely take some time, but he'd be alright waiting. Snappy... aid Ethan as best as you can... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorruptedMoon Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Clutching the water starter's monsterball, Ethan quickly released the water pokemon. He looked down, "...your trainer said you could help me across the water to Cinawood. Would you be willing to?" He asked softly. Just because Silver let Ethan borrow Snappy, didn't mean the water starter would go along with it, so he had to make sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Fire Posted February 1, 2011 Author Share Posted February 1, 2011 The Croconaw glanced up at his trainer's rival, listening to his words. Chomping his jaws, he nodded. "Croco..." he said in his Pokemon way. "Naw." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorruptedMoon Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Ethan gave a faint smile, "Alright then, let's go!" he said with a hint of cheer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Fire Posted February 2, 2011 Author Share Posted February 2, 2011 The Croconaw gave a loud cheer of his own, before jumping into the water, waiting for Ethan to jump on and hold on to him. "Croco croconaw naw..." Snappy said. "Naw!" Meanwhile, Silver made his way to the Olivine Pokemon Center and sat down on the sofa once inside.

CorruptedMoon Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 -Later back in Olivine (because I am lazy and don't feel like writing the trip to and from Cinawood)- Ethan shook his head in vain of getting rid of some of the water. "That was rough..." He muttered. "But I can't say I wouldn't want to do it again." He smiled faintly while Cynder, who had just been released from his monster ball, gave his trainer a flat look.

Shadow Fire Posted February 4, 2011 Author Share Posted February 4, 2011 Chomping his jaws, Snappy gave Cynder a 'We were a great team' look. "Croconaw!" the water Pokemon said cheerfully. "Naw naw croconaw!" Inside the Pokemon Center, Silver opened his eyes, giving a slight smile. He's back... Snappy... you served him well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorruptedMoon Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 The fire starter gave a faint smirk in return. Ethan tugged off his hat, shivering as his cold wet hair hit his neck. "Well, let's head, to the center, okay?" He said with a faint smile. Cynder growled faintly in agreement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Fire Posted February 5, 2011 Author Share Posted February 5, 2011 Silver cast a glance over at the door, watching as Snappy toddled through, giving an excited growl at seeing his trainer again. Standing up with a smirk, the red-haired boy suddenly froze as Ethan walked in, hair still wet, water dripping from it, his clothes sticking to his body. "Uh..." Silver stammered out. "W-welcome back..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorruptedMoon Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 "Hm? Oh, thanks." Ethan replied with a faint smile. He held out Snappy's monster ball, "Here." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Fire Posted February 5, 2011 Author Share Posted February 5, 2011 Slowly, Silver reached out and took Snappy's Monster Ball. His fingers unintentionally brushed against the raven-haired boy's, causing him to stiffen slightly. Cheeks going a little red, he glanced away. "Uh..." he mumbled. "Th-thanks..."

CorruptedMoon Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Ethan raised an eyebrow in confusion but gave a small smile, "You're welcome." Shaking his head, he stretched and yawned, "I don't know about you, but I am beat..." OFF TOPIC: Sleepy Ethan is friendlier than his more awake self. But not by much. *shot* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Fire Posted February 5, 2011 Author Share Posted February 5, 2011 Silver turned his glance to the side, daring to look at the other boy. A slight smile seemed to edge its way onto Silver's face at Ethan's comment. "I agree..." he mumbled. "I may not have been doing much, but I've still been having too many early starts." Walking forward so that he was parallel with his rival, the red-haired teen held out a card key. "Your accommodation..." he said softly. "It's my thanks..."

CorruptedMoon Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Ethan blinked, looking at the card before looking back to Silver. "Thank you." He slowly took the key and was about to turn away when he paused, looking at the redhead once more. "You know, you should do that more often." He said, referring to his smile, no matter how slightly.

Shadow Fire Posted February 5, 2011 Author Share Posted February 5, 2011 Smile replaced with a look of confusion, Silver suddenly understood what Ethan meant. The slight smile returned, and he cast another glance at the other boy. "I look forward to our next battle..." he said softly. "Until then, take care..." Rushing out of the Pokemon Center, followed closely by Snappy, the red-haired trainer glanced over his shoulder. This is weird... I'm going soft...
