"Snowpoint city, what a dump."
"Yeah, yeah. I would recommend not straying at night though... there are a whole load of perverts who see you as an opportunity. Want me to come with you?"
"Don't worry. I got it under control."
"Well. I hope I don't find you in some guy's trunk then, little lady."
"Actually, you'd better hope you don't find some guy in my trunk."
Kagami Anzai, a teenage girl attending a new public school in Snowpoint city, strolled through the snow-covered city. She was bundled up in layering sweaters and sweat pants with her two Pokemon: a Zangoose and a Shinx, trapped in their Pokeballs strapped to her trainer's belt. She had recently given up on becoming a Pokemon trainer... defeat after defeat slowly destroyed her confidence until one defeat killed her desire and she decided enough was enough. The only two Pokemon she had left, the Shinx given as a gift and the Zangoose recently caught by a friend, had now officially resigned under master Kagami's orders even if the Zangoose had not been with her long enough to have attended a battle.
She was 16 years old and without a proper education. She was only home-schooled in basic English and basic mathematics until she decided to forget school and become a Pokemon trainer. Looks like that blew up in her face. Her white trainer's beanie was blown off her head by the freezing wind, it revealed her shoulder-length purple-dyed hair. She turned around and bent over to pick it up but her hand hesitated when she saw the face of... a friend. She sighed. "Forget it." She continued her stroll across the city with her hair blowing in whatever direction the wind pleased. Her parents who lived in Veilstone city had payed to rent a room with a local family.
Kagami's parents were oblivious to this family's intentions or lifestyle however they put their full trust in taking care of their daughter. Funny, her parent's could not even recollect the family's last name or how many family members were in it. Kagami, as a way to always be on the defense with all of the perverts and criminals out there, carried a retractable staff with her. She had it strapped to her back next to her bag full of clothes and other personal items. Bystanders would stare at it, trying to stay as far away from Kagami as possible. After getting too many stares, she decided to retract the staff by pushing a button and watching it snap together into a little rod.
Her Shinx, Shadow, had popped out of his Pokeball. This was one of the reasons she had nicknamed him Shadow... he was scary-smart. This little Shinx was a strategic genius, always seemed to get his way by using manipulation and prediction. Though he was useful, he wasn't so powerful; he would always get his ass handed to him in Pokemon battles. "Kagami," he said with a high-pitched voice... good thing too; if he had a deep voice the only thing missing would be a cigarette in his mouth 24/7 and a 5 'o' clock shadow. "I would recommend getting Gunner out here. I'm nervous about this new family we have to get accustomed to."
Kagami kneeled down to Shadow's level and flicked him on the forehead, he fumbled back. "Hey now, was that honestly necessary?" he rubbed his forehead in the snow.
"No, not really." Kagami snickered. "You're just cute when you're being picked on." picking on Shadow always made Kagami feel better when she was down in the dumps. "I think Gunner is asleep, as always. Plus, we don't need him, I got my staff. I got it all under control." Gunner is Kagami's Zangoose.
"I'd just feel better if Gunner was out, is that so much to ask?" Shadow cringed. "I'm so small and helpless... do you have any idea of the massive quantity of individuals who have fetishes for that?!" just thinking about it made him shiver.
"Don't worry about it." Kagami restated the address in her head: 10460 Lavender court. "Lavender, huh?" she looked around to only see the snow cover every living plant. "Funny joke." Stepping up to the correct house, she rang the doorbell. Shadow took cover behind her, preparing for the worst. The light was on inside so someone had to be home but there was no movement. Nobody was answering.
At first, Kagami had mustered up a polite and kind face, attempting to show off her green eyes. That face vanished after 2 minutes. "What the heck's taking so long...?"
"Well, looks like they're not here..." Shadow was in a hurry to get the hell out. "...what do you say we make a hasty retreat, eh? We most likely dodged a bullet there!"
"Oh can it, Shadow!" Kagami snapped.
"...B-b-but why would you want to depend on some other family to take care of you?" Shadow was playing the 'independence' card against Kagami. "I thought you were your own woman."
"That's not gonna work on me, you little sneak." Kagami rubbed her eyes. "Free food and shelter... what more can you ask for? Well... free for me at least, couldn't say the same about my parents." she tapped her foot against the wood. "Oh my freakin' God this is taking too long!"
She had quickly become impatient, it was like her trademark back home: the girl who would break your arm because you didn't say her name right. She started kicking the door while Shadow urged her to stop. Too late. A teenage boy had answered right in between one of Kagami's onslaught of kicks only to be kicked in the gut. He fell back, sliding against his wooden panels and into the wall. "Whoops..." she whispered to herself.
"Well, I think that went rather smoothly." Shadow commented with an obnoxious grin on his face.
"Shut the heck up, Shadow!" Kagami roared and sent him back into his Pokeball. She turned to the boy. "Uh... I didn't break anything, did I?"
The boy chuckled. "No," he pointed to the lamp next to him. "You didn't break anything."
"I meant in your body, dude!" she walked into the house without permission, and with her shoes on as well. Kagami apparently was not raised in a civilized manner. She placed her hand on his stomach. "Not sure if you can actually break a stomach but I probably didn't kick you too hard. Get up." she helped him to his feet, he limped a little but she was able to maintain his weight. She looked into his blue eyes with her green eyes.
"What the heck took you so long anyways?" Kagami asked.
"I was washing dishes... sorry."
The boy had hair purple-dyed like hers, Kagami had just noticed this. He wasn't very muscular, actually he looked a little anorexic... either that or he had a high-metabolism. "I'm guessing you're that girl whose supposed to live here?" Kagami noticed the boy blushing.
"Uh... yeah?"
"You're gonna... spend the night here and everything?"
"Duh. My parents didn't rent a room in your house just for me to sleep under a bridge somewhere."
By that time, the boy's parents had arrived, as a matter of fact, they just got home. Everybody froze for a second, looking at one another. "Um. Son. Is this...?"
"Yeah dad, this is the girl whose staying with us."
"Right."
The teenage boy, Kaemon Ikeda, was an unattended minor the majority of the time. His parents which were not properly introduced, in other words, "Mr. Ikeda and Mrs. Ikeda" left about 10 minutes after they returned, of course, after receiving the payment from Kagami's parents. Kaemon and his older sister, Tora, would take care of one another. After the parents had left, Tora prepared macaroni and cheese for Kagami while Kaemon set up the beds in her room.
Tora was apparently true to her name; Tora, meaning Tiger, meant she had this self-proclaimed obligation to have some sort of apparel with the look of a tiger. As of the moment, she had a tiger beanie on with a black tank top and shorts. Kagami never did say grace before she ate her food, Tora took that as an insult. "So... did you forget to say anything?" she tried to urge Kagami to at least say "Thank you" but all she said was "You have any more?"
"Uh... yeah, help yourself."
"Nice, though the mac and cheese is a little overcooked. Still good though."
"Thanks..." Tora said, grinding on her teeth. She pulled Kaemon into another room to speak with him privately. "How long does this brat have to stay with us?!" she tried to keep her voice as quiet as possible.
"I think mom and dad said it was until the end of the school year..."
"But... school starts in a few days... you mean to tell me..."
"Yeah, she's gonna be with us for an entire year."
"Pile of garbage!" she nearly yelled in outrage. Note: Tora is known in her family for blurting out random things when she was frustrated or caught off guard.
"Would you keep it down?!" Kaemon covered her mouth. "Besides... she's cute. I wouldn't mind her staying with us." he peeped slightly from the corner to see Kagami observe the macaroni on his spoon, sniff it, lift it up over her and let it dunk into her mouth.
"Oh great, now you're listening to your OTHER head?!"
"That's not it." Kaemon paused and chuckled at Tora's joke but continued. "You can't judge her just because she's a little unmannered. She came from Veilstone, what do you expect?" Kaemon stepped out to keep Kagami company.
"Ahh... he's way too nice." she thought about it for a moment. "Either that or my brother is going to be on the front page news as an offender. Oh well." she stroked her brown hair and shook her head.
~
Later that night, Tora was hogging up the bathroom as her nightly ritual. Kagami had introduced her two Pokemon, Shadow and Gunner, earlier. They seemed to have their own introduction as well.
"This here is Shadow, my Shinx."
"Rawr, my comrades!"
"...And this is Gunner, my Zangoose."
"Yeah, hey, whatever." Gunner was a bit apathetic most of the time, didn't seem to care about much except his master.
She put them back in their Pokeballs just to be cruel. Even if Shadow knew how to get out, he knew not to because Kagami would beat the **** out of him. It was like cruelty was a turn-on for her... she'd probably even screw Kaemon if he were to walk up to her and say "I love you so much... because I'm a masochist!"
Conveniently, there were two extra beds in the room Kagami was assigned. It was a simple room, no decorations, a white paint job, brown carpet... so-so, nothing much. Kagami leaned over from the door to her room to the door to Kaemon's room, the first thing that caught her eye was his laptop. "That!" she pointed at the laptop.
"What?"
"Could I have that laptop? Just for a little bit or whatever?" she wiped her head when she was finally starting to feel the heat from her layers of clothes and the heater.
"Well, since I use it myself, I believe the answer would be no." Kaemon's decision seemed final by the tone of his voice... until Kagami started taking off her layers of sweaters and layers of sweat pants to only be in a small white T-shirt that showed off her belly button and purple short-shorts. It also revealed that she was as flat as a chopping board. Odd, her flatness turned Kaemon on. "Unless you sleep with me" he thought. Funny, he actually wanted to say that but his logical side won that battle. "Fine... fine... you can take the-" before he even finished his sentence, Kagami had taken the laptop to her room. "...laptop..."
"I swear, if I find any naughty files on this, I'm kicking your butt." Kagami said with her eyes fixated on the screen.
"Haha, don't worry." his smile quickly faded. "OH NO!!" he yelled in his thoughts... then he calmed down again. "Ri-i-ight... I deleted it..." he let out a sigh of relief.
"Okay guys, I think I've let you suffer in there enough." she pulled out her Pokeballs and released Shadow and Gunner. Shadow observed the condition of the room and made a list in his mind of anything below satisfactory. Gunner, with an apathetic look on his face, sat on what he assumed was his bed which was the closest to the window. "Hey, hey!" Kagami jumped on Gunner back, he didn't budge at all. "That's mine you silly boy!" she slapped him on the back of the head. "Naughty, naughty."
"Sorry..." Gunner replied. He stood up and sat on a different bed.
"My dear Gunner, I believe you are sitting on the bed I have already called dibs on." Shadow delicately said since he secretly feared that crazy-looking Zangoose.
"I never heard you." Gunner replied.
"Well, I..."
"I don't care. You can sleep on the other free bed." Gunner was clear, Shadow needed no more. He obeyed like a frightened little boy.
"What an odd group..." Kaemon thought. "Well then, do you guys need anything?"
"Pancakes!"
"Wait... is she talking about her chest...?" Kaemon thought. "Oh wait... REAL pancakes... ohhh... that makes much more sense." he chuckled to himself. "Well, we don't have any... but I can pick some up for you if you want."
"Never mind, I'll have pancakes later on. Well, I need you to leave us alone, 'kay? Kagami jumped up and started unpacking her bag. She turned to the doorway again and Kaemon was still there. "Uh... did you hear me?"
"Yeah but..."
"Now!"
"Yes, ma'am..." Kaemon shut the door then leaned against it. "Wow... I hate to judge like my sister but... I have this subtle feeling that my life is going to take a downward spiral." his head lowered. "It's like the beginning of an anime or something..."
"Probably..." Tora walked by with a towel over her body and a towel wrapped around her hair. "Just don't let your teenage boy hormones get the best of you."
"Huh?" Kaemon tried to act oblivious. "Whatever do you mean?"
"Oh come on, either way you're not a good liar, Kaemon." Tora crossed her arms over each other. "I know you're gonna try to seduce her and everything, but face it, you're gonna need a miracle for something like that to happen." she pinched his skinny arms. "Girls don't find anorexia attractive."
"It's not anorexia, dang it!" he defended himself, forcing his arm away from Tora. "It's a freakin' high-metabolism!"
"Whatever you say, little bro." she continued on her merry way, humming a theme song from a show she had recently watched.
Kaemon sighed. "Try to mind Kagami's brattiness... she's still cute." he was a teenage boy, what did you expect?
About an hour had passed, it was 11:00 pm and Kaemon was just slipping into his bed when Kagami charged out of her room yelling: "Yo, you can come in now!" Kaemon froze in place with his hand lifting up his blanket. Great timing. He sighed once more, got up, and started towards the neighboring room but before he had a chance to exit... Kagami came out of nowhere, grabbed him by the shirt, and pulled him out. "You were taking too long, slow-poke!" she rose both of her arms as if she was praising her work. "Behold my new room!"
Kagami had covered this room in posters of Gym Leaders and Rock Bands. She had pictures of her friends from Veilstone on her night-stand. The laptop remained on the floor, it was connected to a website. Gunner and Shadow were already in there beds though Gunner had already fallen asleep.
This was surprising. Kaemon had believed Kagami only had Shadow and Gunner to keep her company or something, turns out she must have been a trainer or at least aspired to be one by the look of those posters. "Whoa." he exclaimed. "You really must have made this room like your old one." he chuckled excitedly. "I'm glad you've made yourself at home." he extended his hand to shake hers but she ended up hugging him. Kaemon blushed. "What... what is this for?"
"Nothing, just haven't hugged anyone recently." Kagami released and resumed work on whatever she was doing on the laptop.
Out of curiosity, Kaemon decided to butt in. "Hmm... what'cha doing?"
"Working on my Fanfiction.net profile."
"Ohh, you like writing fanfics, huh?"
"Yep."
"What kind anyways?"
"Yaoi crossovers..." she admitted it without hesitation.
"Say wha-a-a-a...?"
"Yaoi crossovers, you know... two guys from-"
"I know what you mean, dang it!" Kaemon cut her off.
"Then what's the problem?" Kaemon was about to say something but decided not to, he figured it would be best not to piss her off over something like this. Yaoi crossovers though... why is it that Kaemon wasn't too surprised?
"Her fan-fictions are far over my expectation for a girl her age, even if they are as straight as a circle." Shadow commented, still checking for other problems in this room from his bed.
"That's the point, moron!" Kagami yelled.
Kaemon said nothing. He tried muting out this nonsense and began pondering about what may have happened to Kagami on her journey to become a Pokemon Master. This must have been a spur-of-the-moment kind of thing.
Finally, his curiosity claimed him prisoner and he was forced to ask what happened to her. That calmed-down look on Kagami's face quickly vanished, she slowly turned to him and ominously approached him. Kaemon feared he had made a huge mistake.
She put her finger on his chest. "You shouldn't go around randomly asking people about what happened to them."
"Something bad happened and she doesn't want to be a trainer anymore." Shadow explained against Kagami's will. She ran over there and smacked him upside the head, roaring about how she didn't want anybody to know what happened.
"Come on, we're all friends here." Kaemon said.
"Whatever. I still don't want you to know!" she shot him a dead-serious face. "Got it?" she turned to Shadow. "And I swear, if you open that big, fat mouth of yours... I'll skin you alive!"
"Yes ma'am!" Shadow shrunk into his bed, cowering in fear.
"Well..." Kaemon started. "...I could help you if your want. Did you have anybody traveling with you on your journey?"
"No I didn't, but I don't want your freakin' help!"
"That may be a reason right there," Kaemon rubbed his non-existent chin hair. "If you had at least one person traveling with you then you could get some emotional support, and if you're really in trouble they can come in to help you!"
"I said-"
"And the current Gym Leader, Candice, could train you a little and we could send you to Twinleaf town so you could restart your journey properly."
Kagami had become irritated beyond belief. Why wouldn't this boy listen to her. "I don't freakin' want to!!" she roared after a long pause, pushing him out of the room and slamming the door right in his face.
Tora was in the area and she heard the last thing Kagami said only. "Don't tell me you just bluntly walked up to her and said 'Wanna have relations?'..."
"Dang you Tora!" Kaemon shouted in retaliation. "Why do you think I'm stupid like that?!"
"Hey," she was giggling. "Just saying, it'd be funny." she fingered a happy-face into thin air (:3) and left. She had a knack for being a subtle nerd like that.
Kaemon slunk against Kagami's door. He was always a sucker for helping people out in their time of need, especially when it came to girls. He had this gut feeling that she could become a great trainer... maybe even the champion of the Sinnoh region and he hated to see such potential wasted by a supposed "huge" mistake. Whatever it was, Kaemon decided he was going to try all things necessary to get Kagami back into Pokemon training. The school life just didn't seem to fit her.
Funny, he wanted to help her to be a good person and feel good inside... but his hormones had a whole different motive. They thought "Hey... maybe if we help this girl out, she'll grow a strong bond to us and then... bow chika wow wow!" Kaemon sighed once again and went back to his room, hoping that a good-night's sleep could trigger a stroke of genius to formulate a plan.
He crawled into bed and fell asleep near-instantly.
Kagami stayed up with her eyes blankly focused on the laptop. She say silent and still. "I think that boy is right." Gunner, whom everyone believed was asleep, proclaimed. "You are a great trainer, it's just that your collection of Pokemon isn't too powerful. I mean... look at Shadow here."
"Hey! Watch it!" Shadow whined.
"It's not that..."
"Come now, Kagami..." Gunner started. "You can't really believe that Naysa's death was your fault. I may not know the entire story but..."
"Well it was my fault... so there!"
"A Treeko, such as herself, are always in fatal danger when struck by fire and..."
"I said shut up!" Kagami slapped Gunner. She always slapped him so he didn't take it harshly. "And good-night! We're going to bed right now!"
"But Kagami..."
"I said good-night!" Kagami threw her pillow at the lamp and smashed it.
"Yeah, yeah. I would recommend not straying at night though... there are a whole load of perverts who see you as an opportunity. Want me to come with you?"
"Don't worry. I got it under control."
"Well. I hope I don't find you in some guy's trunk then, little lady."
"Actually, you'd better hope you don't find some guy in my trunk."

Shadow observed the condition of the room and made a list in his mind of anything below satisfactory. Gunner, with an apathetic look on his face, sat on what he assumed was his bed which was the closest to the window. "Hey, hey!" Kagami jumped on Gunner back, he didn't budge at all. "That's mine you silly boy!" she slapped him on the back of the head. "Naughty, naughty."
"Sorry..." Gunner replied. He stood up and sat on a different bed.
"My dear Gunner, I believe you are sitting on the bed I have already called dibs on." Shadow delicately said since he secretly feared that crazy-looking Zangoose.
"I never heard you." Gunner replied.
"Well, I..."
"I don't care. You can sleep on the other free bed." Gunner was clear, Shadow needed no more. He obeyed like a frightened little boy.
"What an odd group..." Kaemon thought. "Well then, do you guys need anything?"
"Pancakes!"
"Wait... is she talking about her chest...?" Kaemon thought. "Oh wait... REAL pancakes... ohhh... that makes much more sense." he chuckled to himself. "Well, we don't have any... but I can pick some up for you if you want."
"Never mind, I'll have pancakes later on. Well, I need you to leave us alone, 'kay? Kagami jumped up and started unpacking her bag. She turned to the doorway again and Kaemon was still there. "Uh... did you hear me?"
"Yeah but..."
"Now!"
"Yes, ma'am..." Kaemon shut the door then leaned against it. "Wow... I hate to judge like my sister but... I have this subtle feeling that my life is going to take a downward spiral." his head lowered. "It's like the beginning of an anime or something..."
"Probably..." Tora walked by with a towel over her body and a towel wrapped around her hair. "Just don't let your teenage boy hormones get the best of you."
"Huh?" Kaemon tried to act oblivious. "Whatever do you mean?"
"Oh come on, either way you're not a good liar, Kaemon." Tora crossed her arms over each other. "I know you're gonna try to seduce her and everything, but face it, you're gonna need a miracle for something like that to happen." she pinched his skinny arms. "Girls don't find anorexia attractive."
"It's not anorexia, dang it!" he defended himself, forcing his arm away from Tora. "It's a freakin' high-metabolism!"
"Whatever you say, little bro." she continued on her merry way, humming a theme song from a show she had recently watched.
Kaemon sighed. "Try to mind Kagami's brattiness... she's still cute." he was a teenage boy, what did you expect?
About an hour had passed, it was 11:00 pm and Kaemon was just slipping into his bed when Kagami charged out of her room yelling: "Yo, you can come in now!" Kaemon froze in place with his hand lifting up his blanket. Great timing. He sighed once more, got up, and started towards the neighboring room but before he had a chance to exit... Kagami came out of nowhere, grabbed him by the shirt, and pulled him out. "You were taking too long, slow-poke!" she rose both of her arms as if she was praising her work. "Behold my new room!"
Kagami had covered this room in posters of Gym Leaders and Rock Bands. She had pictures of her friends from Veilstone on her night-stand. The laptop remained on the floor, it was connected to a website. Gunner and Shadow were already in there beds though Gunner had already fallen asleep.
This was surprising. Kaemon had believed Kagami only had Shadow and Gunner to keep her company or something, turns out she must have been a trainer or at least aspired to be one by the look of those posters. "Whoa." he exclaimed. "You really must have made this room like your old one." he chuckled excitedly. "I'm glad you've made yourself at home." he extended his hand to shake hers but she ended up hugging him. Kaemon blushed. "What... what is this for?"
"Nothing, just haven't hugged anyone recently." Kagami released and resumed work on whatever she was doing on the laptop.
Out of curiosity, Kaemon decided to butt in. "Hmm... what'cha doing?"
"Working on my Fanfiction.net profile."
"Ohh, you like writing fanfics, huh?"
"Yep."
"What kind anyways?"
"Yaoi crossovers..." she admitted it without hesitation.
"Say wha-a-a-a...?"
"Yaoi crossovers, you know... two guys from-"
"I know what you mean, dang it!" Kaemon cut her off.
"Then what's the problem?" Kaemon was about to say something but decided not to, he figured it would be best not to piss her off over something like this. Yaoi crossovers though... why is it that Kaemon wasn't too surprised?
"Her fan-fictions are far over my expectation for a girl her age, even if they are as straight as a circle." Shadow commented, still checking for other problems in this room from his bed.
"That's the point, moron!" Kagami yelled.
Kaemon said nothing. He tried muting out this nonsense and began pondering about what may have happened to Kagami on her journey to become a Pokemon Master. This must have been a spur-of-the-moment kind of thing.
Finally, his curiosity claimed him prisoner and he was forced to ask what happened to her. That calmed-down look on Kagami's face quickly vanished, she slowly turned to him and ominously approached him. Kaemon feared he had made a huge mistake.
She put her finger on his chest. "You shouldn't go around randomly asking people about what happened to them."
"Something bad happened and she doesn't want to be a trainer anymore." Shadow explained against Kagami's will. She ran over there and smacked him upside the head, roaring about how she didn't want anybody to know what happened.
"Come on, we're all friends here." Kaemon said.
"Whatever. I still don't want you to know!" she shot him a dead-serious face. "Got it?" she turned to Shadow. "And I swear, if you open that big, fat mouth of yours... I'll skin you alive!"
"Yes ma'am!" Shadow shrunk into his bed, cowering in fear.
"Well..." Kaemon started. "...I could help you if your want. Did you have anybody traveling with you on your journey?"
"No I didn't, but I don't want your freakin' help!"
"That may be a reason right there," Kaemon rubbed his non-existent chin hair. "If you had at least one person traveling with you then you could get some emotional support, and if you're really in trouble they can come in to help you!"
"I said-"
"And the current Gym Leader, Candice, could train you a little and we could send you to Twinleaf town so you could restart your journey properly."
Kagami had become irritated beyond belief. Why wouldn't this boy listen to her. "I don't freakin' want to!!" she roared after a long pause, pushing him out of the room and slamming the door right in his face.
Tora was in the area and she heard the last thing Kagami said only. "Don't tell me you just bluntly walked up to her and said 'Wanna have relations?'..."
"Dang you Tora!" Kaemon shouted in retaliation. "Why do you think I'm stupid like that?!"
"Hey," she was giggling. "Just saying, it'd be funny." she fingered a happy-face into thin air (:3) and left. She had a knack for being a subtle nerd like that.
Kaemon slunk against Kagami's door. He was always a sucker for helping people out in their time of need, especially when it came to girls. He had this gut feeling that she could become a great trainer... maybe even the champion of the Sinnoh region and he hated to see such potential wasted by a supposed "huge" mistake. Whatever it was, Kaemon decided he was going to try all things necessary to get Kagami back into Pokemon training. The school life just didn't seem to fit her.
Funny, he wanted to help her to be a good person and feel good inside... but his hormones had a whole different motive. They thought "Hey... maybe if we help this girl out, she'll grow a strong bond to us and then... bow chika wow wow!" Kaemon sighed once again and went back to his room, hoping that a good-night's sleep could trigger a stroke of genius to formulate a plan.
He crawled into bed and fell asleep near-instantly.
Kagami stayed up with her eyes blankly focused on the laptop. She say silent and still. "I think that boy is right." Gunner, whom everyone believed was asleep, proclaimed. "You are a great trainer, it's just that your collection of Pokemon isn't too powerful. I mean... look at Shadow here."
"Hey! Watch it!" Shadow whined.
"It's not that..."
"Come now, Kagami..." Gunner started. "You can't really believe that Naysa's death was your fault. I may not know the entire story but..."
"Well it was my fault... so there!"
"A Treeko, such as herself, are always in fatal danger when struck by fire and..."
"I said shut up!" Kagami slapped Gunner. She always slapped him so he didn't take it harshly. "And good-night! We're going to bed right now!"
"But Kagami..."
"I said good-night!" Kagami threw her pillow at the lamp and smashed it.
