Peace Sign Prologue "Ummm, Mom?" "Yes dear?" "This jacket only reaches the bottom of my ribs. And the shorts reach my knees." "Thats how it suppose to be Piglo." "Mooooommm, don't call me Piglo! I hate that name!" "I'm sorry Piglo, but thats what I call you." "Mom, what will I wear under the jacket? I have no shirts that will match the jacket and the shorts!" "Why don't you wear your black bathing suit under it Piglo?" "My bathing suit?" "It will look sooo nice together!" "Okay Mom, if you say so." "Now you remember where you have to go first right?" "Yes of coarse Mom." "Remember, you go...." "First to Pallet to see Prof Oak and get my first Pokemon then along the paths and routes to all the other cities and towns." Paige sighed remembering the conversation with her mother only a couple days ago. She rubbed her hands together. Black gloves which didn't cover her fingers or her thumb were one of those thing her mother thought that she should have. Just like the gray hat on her head. She sighed again, all she was doing was following in her parents footsteps. "Man, if I ever get a Pokemon, it better be friendly! I'm starting to get lonely!" She said out loud. She had seen some walked to Pallet, but she couldn't catch them without a her own Pokemon to weaken them. "This bites." She mumbled, seeing another bunch of Pokemon in the bushes. "When I get my first Pokemon, I'll never see any more Pokemon like I am now. I know my kind of luck." ********************************************************** She walked up to the building she was told belonged to Professor Oak. Knocking on the door she wondered what the guy was like. "Hello." She said as he opened the door. "Are you Professor Oak?" "Yes, and you are?" "Paige Heiwa. My Mom told me I could get my first Pokemon here." "Come on in, I may have one I can give you." Professor Oak said leading Paige towards one of the doors leading into another room. He looked around the room before picking up one of the Pokeballs. He tossed it to her. Paige caught the ball in mid air. And looked at it. "What's in it?" "A Eevee. I'm sorry, I should be giving you a Charmander or something like that, but that Eevee is the only I have left to give." Professor Oak said, shrugging. He tossed her a couple of empty Pokeballs and a Pokedex before seeing Paige off. "Eevee, huh?" She tossed the ball to the ground and out popped what Professor Oak had said, a Eevee. "It's kinda cute. Eevee, do you like your Pokeball?" She watched Eevee shake it's head. "Okay. Then how 'bout you don't go back into it? I get lonely, and you would be a perfect pal." "Eeeeevvvveee!" It giggled happily, nodding it's head. ********************************************************** Eevee was sleeping in Paige's backpack when she arrived at the Viridian city Pokemon Center. It was already dark out when she walked in the door. She yawned while walking up to counter. "Hello. Can I help you?" The Nurse asked sweetly. Paige yawned. "Yeah, I need a room for the night. Got one left?" She asked, trying the best to smile in her tired state, failing completely. "Sure, follow me Miss.....?" The Nurse asked as she started leading the way to the room where Paige would stay. "Heiwa, Paige Heiwa." Paige said as they reached their destination. "Good night Miss Heiwa." The Nurse said as she walked back to her post. "Night." Paige said as she walked into the room. She flopped down onto the bed (face down so she wouldn't hurt Eevee) and fell fast asleep. Eevee was awake before her. Paige knew this because it was sitting on her and watching her as she awoke. "Hey there Eevee. Did I sleep in?" "Eeeevvveee!" Eevee said while nodding. "What time is it?" Eevee lifted Paige's watch up (yes, it was still on her hand) so she could see. She groaned, seeing it was 10 already. "Time to get up and try to find some more Pokemon, eh Eevee?" Paige asked her only Pokemon while sitting up and brushing her short, dark brown hair. Her hat had fallen off during the night and was laying on the floor. Eevee was now sitting on the floor with her hat in it's mouth. She took it from Eevee, thanking it for holding it up for her. Thats when she noticed the letters PM on her hat. It was her mothers idea to get it, she'd once thought it was just her mothers before hand. Her mother and father had both been in the league when she was little. She had to follow in their footsteps to ever be the favorite in her family. "Whacha think Eevee. Should we go to Viridian Forest today or just look around town and have some fun?" Eevee thought for a moment. "Eevee ee vee ee ee vee eevee!" It replied finally. Paige smiled. "Fun in the City it is! Lets go Eevee! I wanna see the Viridian fair thats here this week!" She exclaimed happily while jumping off the bed and putting on her hat. Eevee giggled happily running around her feet as she picked up her backpack and ran out the door of her room and out of the Pokemon Center. She laughed as Eevee started to run towards the Fair. "Slow down Eevee! I'm not as fast as you!" She yelled at her Pokemon while following it toward the Fair. Eevee stopped at the cashier. Paige caught up and pick Eevee up into her arms while paying their way into the Fair. "This place is so cool! Look at all the rides! What should we go on first Eevee?" "Eeeevvveee ee vvee vee ee eevee!" "Right! The Bumper Cars first!" ********************************************************** Paige smiled as she watch her Eevee eat some of her cotton candy. "That was soo much fun, wasn't it Eevee?" Eevee nodded, giggling, and continued eating the cotton candy. Laughing, Paige picked up her pigging out Pokemon and put it into her backpack (with the cotton candy, of coarse). It was 6 pm, they'd been at the fair that whole day, digging out and going on all the rides. Paige started to go off to the Pokemon Center, she wanted to get there before it closed down for the night. She still had a lot of time, it shut down at 10 pm. Then, while she was thinking if she go and check out a restaurant, she bumped into someone. She toppled over backwards, sending her backpack out of her hands and her hat to fly a bit over her eyes. She could hear books and the person she ran into hit the ground. "Oh, geezzz, Paige you ditz! I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to run into! I wasn't looking where I was going!" Paige started, picking up her backpack with the confused Eevee in it. She lifted her hat off her eyes to look at who she ran over. The guy sat there, his books laying all around him, his long black bangs covering his eyes. He brushed them out of his eyes to look at her. He had the strangest eyes too, one was blue, the other was green. "I guess I wasn't watching were I was going either." He started to pick up his books. Paige started to help him. Feeling like a total idiot as she did so. Her Eevee watched her, then went off to find where the cotton candy had fallen. Once all the books were off the ground she gave them back to the guy. She looked at one before she gave the last one back. "Whats this? Training Pokemon for Dummies?" She giggled and handed it back. "Hey, sorry again. But as long as your my road kill, might as well put a name on you, right? I'm Paige Heiwa, whats your name?" "Road kill? Do I look like that? I knew I was dirty but..... Anyways, I'm Gabriel Stone. Nice to meet you Paige or, run into you." Gabriel chuckled. Paige smiled. "Well, I better be going off to the Pokemon Center. Come one Eevee!" She said while picking up her Pokemon. "Will you be in town tomorrow?" "I will be going to Viridian Forest tomorrow." "Oh, maybe I'll see you there." Paige raised her eyebrow. "Are you saying you wanna be my friend?" "Umm, yeah, I guess. Why, is there something wrong?" "I don't usually keep friends." "Then I'll be your follower." "You can my friend if ya don't slow me down." "Then 'til tomorrow." "Yeah, bye!" Paige said as she ran off, leaving a confused Gabriel behind her. She ran all the way to the Pokemon Center and to the room she was using, saying hi to the Nurse as she went. Inside her room she placed Eevee down on her bed and took off her hat, jacket (little note, she never takes off the gloves, weird but kinda cool looking) and shorts so she was only wearing her bathing suit. She flopped down onto the bed beside Eevee. "Eevee, do you think you'll like traveling with me?" "Eeeeevvvveeee ee ee vee." "Thanks, I needed that. Night Eevee." "Eeevveee." ********************************************************** "Oh my God its almost noon!! Eevee get up! We've got to get moving!" Paige yelled as she put on her shorts, jacket and hat. She grabbed her backpack and Eevee and ran out the door. She thanked the Nurse for letting her stay then ran out the door toward Viridian Forest. She ran as fast as she could with a sleeping Eevee in her arms. Once again she watching where she was going and ran straight into someone. She let out a yelp and tumbled backwards, luckly not dropping Eevee. Her hat covering her eyes. "Geeezzz twice in 24 hours!" "Gabriel?" "Paige?" "Sorry again Road kill!" She giggled "Hey, is that my nickname now?" "Yep, gotta problem?" "No, but I'd like to know your nickname." "Okay. My Mom always calls me Piglo." "Piglo it is then." "Thanks Road kill." Something was sitting in the bushes watching them. Two people and a Pokemon, sat there watching the couple. "They're the perfect targets. They'll catch some Pokemon, and we can steal them!" "Hopefully this plan will work this time." "Be optimistic James! These are kids who have no idea how to battle with Pokemon yet. Maybe we'll get lucky and it will be really easy." "Maybe...." "Just wait until they catch something and you'll see!" To be countinued......
