There was something about mornings that always made Iris feel like she'd been hit by a truck whether it was having to open her eyes to the morning rays of the sun or trying to leave the warm comforts of her bed. She shifted under the blankets, trying to put off getting up as long as she could. Something felt off today though, this didn't feel like her bed...
She opened her eyes and found herself laying in the Pokémon Center bed. That's right, she'd nearly forgotten. She had started a Pokemon journey to look for her sister and ended up meeting Tai and Cecil Two boys who acted like nearly complete opposites. She didn't think too much about how the two probably hated each other with a flaming passion and headed to the shower.
Surely a warm shower could make her less likely to run into any walls because her eyes weren't exactly working properly at the moment.
The shower water had done its job for the most part. At least Iris could see and make sense of everything. She quickly got dressed and did all her morning duties to make sure she didn't look like a complete and utter mess when she faced the world.
While she was walking down the hall to get breakfast a loud girls screech filled the cafeteria. Who could be yelling so loud in the morning or an even better question why was she yelling so loud in the first place?
"YOU BASTARD!" A girls yell filled the cafeteria just as she walked in. Iris tried not to stare at the girl but failed miserably. It was a girl who had dark hair and wore a Viridian school girl's uniform. She had one of the cafeteria desks in her hands and was glaring at none other than Tai.
"What's he gotten himself into this time?" Iris thought to herself.
Apparently Tai had kissed the girl on the cheek in a playful manner and the girl wasn't very happy about it. She was angry enough to throw desks at Tai and quickly chase him out of the cafeteria.
When all the commotion died down Iris was able to grab a bowl of rice and miso soup and sit down with Cecil to eat.
Despite these thoughts, the forest itself had a very peaceful atmosphere to it. The trees were filled with greenery which was complimented by numerous amounts of moss and several bug catchers were out catching Weedle and Caterpie. They could have been no more than the age of 10 or 11.
Tai had admitted to being afraid of large and began to ramble on about how a mutated spider was going to drag him away and eat him. Iris was glad she wasn't the only one who had similiar fears, even if instead of it being a deformed zombie it was a mutated spider.
"ACK SOMETHING MOVED! IT WAS A MUTATED SPIDER POKEMON!" He sunk behind Charco, eyes darting around nervously.
"It's only a Caterpie, I think...that's rather unbecoming of you, Sugimori." Cecil looked at the worm Pokemon.
"Cowyee?" The Caterpie looked up at Tai with a smile. The boy grinned, "Awesome! A Caterpie, I wanna catch it!" He grinned and peered at it, and in return got a face full of string shot.
"SH*T! GET IF OFF!" Tai yelped as he clawed at his face trying to get the sticky string off. Cecil's squirtle also decided to try and 'help' and used Bubble on his face but instead of actually helping it made it worse. When Tai managed to peel the mask off he shot the Squirtle an angry look.
"Hey there big trainers!" A small boy smiled jovially, the Caterpie crawling over to his side. "I'm Bug Catcher James...but heck, that's not why I came here. I wanted to ask you three if you'd like to battle with me and my friends, we've been watching you for a while now-" The boy was cut off mid-sentence by a snarky remark from Tai.
"What did you say? You've been watching us for awhile? What are you, a stalker?!" Tai demanded, tearing off the last bit of string from his face. The bug catcher chuckled.
"No, but I see you're a bugger...one of those people bug's instantly take a hating towards. They usually hate grumpy, unpleasant people..." James' two friends walked up behind him and grinned deviously.
"THAT'S IT KID! YOU'RE GETTING ON MY NERVES! LET'S BATTLE!" Tai shot an evil grin towards the boy and held up Gee's pokeball.
"1 on 1, you and me! My friends will deal with your friends!" Catcher James grinned.
The battle didn't look like it was going to be too difficult but Iris knew she was at a clear type advantage. Amaranth was a grass type, and that would make vine whip virtually useless. No matter, Amaranth still knew tackle and that would be sufficient for taking down a few Caterpie and Weedle.
"Alright."
OoC: It's rather choppy but Cirrus forced me to right when I had writer's block. D:

After a somewhat quiet morning the group journeyed to the Viridian Forest. Iris had her own personal fear about this place. It was fun at day and dead scary at night. It wasn't the bug Pokémon that freaked her out, she learned to deal with bug Pokémon while working in the gardens at home.. She despised anything that got dark and creepy and this was the exact definition of this place at night, dark and creepy. Iris shuddered at the thought of several eyes peering at her from the darkness and then something out of Silent Hill 4 or Fatal Frame II coming out of the bushes and eating her.
Despite these thoughts, the forest itself had a very peaceful atmosphere to it. The trees were filled with greenery which was complimented by numerous amounts of moss and several bug catchers were out catching Weedle and Caterpie. They could have been no more than the age of 10 or 11.
