Dis: I don't own Pokemon. But, I do own the Pokemon that I created. ****Jade Hearts**** By: StarrybluMew *This means it's in italics. Or it means that somebody's thinking. "Kyle! Wait up!" Ashley called as she hurried to catch up with him. Kyle turned around to find Ashley smiling at him. " What?" he asked. "Well, could I um, travel with you?" It looked as if Kyle would faint on the trail. Flame stuck his tongue out at Ashley. "Wha...what?!" Kyle yelled as he got in Ashley's face. Ashley slowly backed away. " What's your problem?" Ashley asked. " Me, a boy, traveling with a girl?" Flame covered his eyes. Ashley cocked her head from side to side as she asked, "So?" "That's stupid." He muttered as Ashley stared at him. " I'm sorry. It's just..." Kyle shrugged as Ashley stomped her foot. "Listen! It's just to the next town. Besides," Ashley wrapped her arms around Kyle's waist. " I'll need a strong and handsome man to help look after me." Flame winked at Kyle as Ashley gave a fake smiled. "I uh, I...." Kyle stuttered. " Would you *please* get off!" Kyle said as he shoved Ashley off of himself. "Please?" Ashley begged as she gave Kyle the best Growlite eyes she could manage. "Look, if you think flattery will get me to help you, then you're wrong." Ashley had the Growlite look plastered on her face. "Uh-uh. I'll never help you." Ashley got up off of her knees and she gave a fake lip qiver. "There's no way. Not in a millon years...." ****4 hours later**** "I can't belive I'm helping you!" Kyle mouned as Ashley put some lipstick on. "Good thing I brought my make-up kit with me." She gave a fake smile at Kyle. " Otherwise, I'd be butt ugly." Flame giggled as Kyle said, " You're to late." underneathe his breath. Ashley slapped him on the cheek as she walked ahead. "Ow! Good God! What in the hell did you do that for?" Kyle yelped. Ashley stared at him as she asked "Can you cuss?" Kyle turned to her and said, "Yeah. I cuss all the time when I'm angry." Flame chuckled at the surprised look on Ashley's face as she insisted " Yeah? Well don't do it around me." Then Ashley walked ahead of the group. *Gee,* Kyle thought. *What's her problem?* All of a sudden, a twig broke. Both Ashley and Kyle stopped dead in their tracks as Flame ran ahead of Ashley. Kyle quickly grabbed ahold of Flame's shoulders and Flame jerked backwards. "What was that?" Ashley asked in a low whisper. Kyle whispered back, " Probbly nothing. Besides, it's the same way I met you. You know, when you were behind the bushes." Ashley nodded. A chop, chop, chop sound was heard as a couple of leaves gently made their way to the ground. Flame tugged on Kyle's jeans and gave him a worried look. Kyle picked Flame up and held him in his arms like a baby as Ashley checked her surroundings. "Wait," Kyle cautioned. " What's that?" he asked as he pointed his finger at the trees right down the dirt trail. Ashley and Kyle neared the trees and a grey fist chopped through them. Ashley fell back and gasped as the grey fist wiggled it's little grey fingers. "Hey, Ashley?" Kyle asked. "Yeah?" Kyle pulled out a yellow ultra ball as he said "I think we have company." Ashley stared off into the direction Kyle was looking at and saw a spiky figure crossing the trail a few yards down from where they were standing. Kyle tossed the yellow ultra ball into the air and yelled, " Come on out, Spike!". A yellow dog popped out of the pokeball. The dog was spiky and had deep brown eyes. Around the dog's neck was a white, spiky mane. "Jolt!" the dog called. "Spike, use pin missle!" Kyle pointed at the target. Spike started shaking his body and stopped. His brown eyes rose on the target and then Kyle shouted "Now!". Golden pins were fired out from Spike's body and they hit the target. The target fell over, holding it's belly in pain, and it looked as if the spiky target had fainted. "Yes!" Kyle yelled as Spike started running around in circles. "Uh, Kyle?" Ashley asked, nervously. Kyle faced her and repiled, "What?" "Um, I think that was a person." The joyed look on Kyle's face quickly disappeared as he remarked "Are you kidding me!" Spike started chasing his tail as Kyle kicked the ground in anger. As Ashley focused her eyes on the target's body, she cired "Oh my God! Tommy!" Kyle looked at Ashley, and he looked at the limp body of Tommy Brimming. A/N: Eh, I think this chapter sucks but it's all I could come up with. And it took them awhile to reach the city, even though they haven't yet.
