Clark Davies
Cerulean City
Clark was standing at the door of his apartment, having second thoughts about leaving on a journey and leaving his sister behind.
I know she said she'll be alright, but what if something happens to her? he thought, biting his lower lip as Fiona, his Bellsprout, danced around him happily. He decided that he wouldn't be starting his journey if his head was like that. He needed to think clearly, and the worry would just hold him back and his journey would be just a waste of time. He stepped outside of the apartment, with Fiona skipping behind him, and locked the door.
Once he left the building, he decided to talk a walk to clear his mind. Laurie was training at the Gym, so he decided that he'd stop by there first to hang around for a while, maybe watch some battles and pick up something useful for his Pokémon Journey. He walked the short distance between his place and the Gym and arrived at the doors in less than five minutes.
As he was about to step inside, a young boy stormed out of the building, and ran straight into Clark, making both of them fall over. "Hey, watch where you're going, you twerp!" the boy shouted at him. Clark was angered, but took some deep breaths and did nothing. The boy just huffed, got up, and walked away. "You better not get in my way again!" he shouted before disappearing from Clark's sight.
Clark sighed and got up. He brushed some dust off his clothes and then got inside the Gym. He was greeted by Clyde, who stood by the entrance as usual. "Hello, Clark!" he said in a friendly way, and Clark gave a short wave in response. "If you're here to see Laurie, she just had a battle with this boy. Oh, what an arrogant challenger! He never even stopped to listen to my words of advice?"
"Wow..." Clark said, "How'd his battle end?"
"He didn't reach the Gym Leader! Your sister wiped the floor with him!" Clyde replied, "He just left the Gym, with his face all red! You probably must have seen him pass by."
"Yeah... I think I have..." Clark replied, "Anyway, where's Laurie right now?"
"Oh, she's taking a break now. Must be getting something to eat while her Pokémon rest up." Clyde said.
"Thanks, see you around, Clyde!" Clark said, smiling happily and went over to the small cafeteria inside the Gym. He'd been there so many times, he could easily find his way around it. When he arrived, he could see her sitting at a table, taking a bite off a small sandwich. "Hey, Laurie!" he said, and walked over to her table. She waved at him, but said nothing given that her mouth was stuffed. He took a seat in front of her, and waited for her to be done with that bite.
"Hey, Clark!" she said after gulping down, "What brings you here?"
"Not much. I was bored, and wanted to hang out with my big sis for a while." he replied.
Meanwhile, as both siblings chatted, Fiona danced around the table, and then hugged Clark's leg and rested her head against it. The Pokémon had no worry in the entire world, one could say.
