Two Different Worlds

Part 7

By Mini Misty

Yay! Another one started! This one is deticated to Angel Clefairy, or Jen, because she’s a really great friend and I was fresh outta ideas for Rennie at the current time. Email me at CuteMadi345 @aol.com. By the way, a name change is going to happen very soon, after the New Year. Plan on it being R.C. Babe but I’m really not sure. Make sure to pay attention all my fans so you can find my fics =)!

Dear Journal,

Wow we are getting extremely close to Violet. After some weird dream I had a few days ago, I figured out that electricity could get me back and forth to my world and the Pokemon world. Of course, I know what happened yesterday was just a dream. Or, at least I’m pretty sure.

Anyways, tomorrow is Jen’s birthday, and Brock and I are trying to get a large hotel room reserved at the next city for her party. Normally, I wouldn’t do this, but her hometown is the next one on our route to Violet.

Well, I g2g. Write later!

Luv ya lotz!

Rennie

I close my journal, and I turn my flashlight off. It was about 1:00am, and I COULD NOT FALL ASLEEP! Everyone else was dead. Not literally, but you get what I mean. I sit up and look at the stars for a while, but I heard someone stirring. I look around, and I notice Jen was awake.

" Hey Jen, why are you awake?" I ask her quietly. She perks up and looks at me.

" Oh, hi Rennie. I didn’t think any of you guys would be awake this late. What time is it?" She asks.

" About 1:15am. I haven’t fallen asleep yet, so I’ve been up for a while now." I tell her. She crawls over to me.

" Sleep is so impossible the day before my birthday." Jen says.

" Yeah, I know how that is." I say.

" You know, it’s been a lot of fun traveling with you guys." Jen tells me.

" You think so?" I ask.

" Yeah. A lot of my friends aren’t really into Pokemon and stuff. I’ve always liked it, but training around home got so boring." Jen tells me.

" Makes sense. So whatcha want for your birthday?" I ask her. She looks down.

" I dunno. It’s kinda weird…" Jen says.

" Just tell me. I won’t laugh. I promise!" I say.

" Well, Brock and I have been going out for a few weeks, and he hasn’t kissed me yet…" Jen says.

" So you want a kiss from Brock for your birthday?" I ask.

" Yeah. But not just a plain, ordinary kiss. I want to have a special kiss with him. Kinda like you and Ash." Jen says.

" I never really thought our kisses were at all special…" I say.

" I don’t know. Ash really seems to care about you. Brock, well, he seems more interested in how a Pokeball works then me." Jen says. " I’m doubting he cares about me a lot." I hug her.

" Of course he cares about you. But some guys have a different way of showing it. You have to get used to what he does." I say. " I mean, this may sound completely WEIRD, but, he’s had a crush on me too. He pretty much likes any girl. But I know he cares about you!"

" Thanks. That helps." Jen says, smiling. I look at her, and notice something I have never seen before. There was a big gash on her cheek. Her hair always covered it up, but when she brushed it back I noticed it.

" Hey Jen, what happened to your cheek?" I ask her. She blinks in thought for a moment.

" You mean this scar?" She says, while touching it.

" Yeah."

" Oh, you wouldn’t be interested in it." Jen says, using an unfamiliar sad voice. She was usually very perky. I wondered what was up.

" Something is wrong! Come on tell me. It might help you feel better." I tell her. She looks down for a moment, then looks up at me.

" Three years ago I ran away from my hometown. My parents and my brother died, from Team Rocket. They were deep enemies of them. I was too, but I was too young to help. My parents almost destroyed them once before I was born, but one somehow survived. That one was Giovanni, the leader now, or at least possibly. I don’t exactly know. Anyways, when they took over Johto three years ago, it was my brother, Hiro that destroyed Team Rocket. My parents took some help as well. Unfortunately, he didn’t kill very many. The remaining got together, and one night, came to our hometown to find every one of our relatives and kill the last one, no matter what age." Jen says.

" Wow, how scary!" I comment. She nods her head.

" Well, it was really late, and I was still up. I thought I smelled smoke, so I got up from my bed and opened my door. By then, smoke was covering pretty much the entire house, except my room. I didn’t have any choice but jump out my window. Well, I did, but a Team Rocket member must have spotted me, for soon after the jump, I was being chased. I tripped, and he caught me…" She finishes, fading into memory.

*****************

The memory…

" Ahh!" A younger Jen says, tripping on a loose branch. A guy in a Team Rocket outfit runs up to her and scoops her up. Then he starts to strangle her.

" I’ll kill you, like I did to the rest of your rotten, miserable family!" The Team Rocket member says.

" NOOO!" Jen yells, then kicks the Team Rocket member.

" Ow! Dang you, you stupid girl!" He yells and scratches her face. Jen bites him, and he lets go. She got up, and started running. That time, he didn’t follow her…

***************

Back to reality…

" Oh my God, I’m so sorry about your family!" I tell her.

" It’s ok. Really!" Jen says.

" No it’s not. So how’d you end up getting by?" I ask.

" Well, a family in New Bark Town was really good friends with my family, and I stayed with them until you guys came along." Jen says.

" Oh. Well, I’m glad you’re with us. It wouldn’t be half as fun without you." I mention.

" Thanks. You know, you’re a really great friend!" Jen says, hugging me.

" Yeah, you are too!" I say.

A few days later…

Dear Journal,

Well, the last few days have been fun. We celebrated Jen’s birthday two days ago, and yesterday, we went to visit her family’s gravesite. As it turns out, and even Jen wasn’t expecting this one, but there is a festival in honor of her family every year around the same time the attack to them happened. Jen was very well known, considering she was the only one left in her family. Today we left, and Jen was sad to leave. Though it must have been really sad for her to be in Flower Town, her hometown, I bet just being in the presence of her family made her happy.

Love, Rennie

I look at Jen after I close my journal. She was once again happy. Oh, by the way, did I mention she did get her birthday wish?

Yes! Part 7 done and an unknown number (sigh…) left. Oh well, I really enjoy writing this fic! Thanks for reading! Merry after Christmas and a rockin' New Year!!!!
