Someone New

Shayna and Charmander are still looking for a way out of the forest, they better make it out soon!
“Charmander char.” Charmander complained.
“I know Charmander. We’re almost to Pewter City. At least that’s what my map says.” Shayna said reassuringly.
“Char char.” Charmander said.
“Hey you!” a voice yelled.
“Who? Me?” Shayna said.
“Yeah. You with the Charmander. Let’s battle!” the voice said.
“Okay. Send your Pokemon out first!” Shayna said.
“Right. I choose Squirtle!” the boy yelled. (They could see him now.)
“Then I’ll use... Venonat! Go!” Shayna said.
“Okay. Squirtle tackle it!” the boy said.
“Before it can reach you use your stun spore!” Shayna said.
“Veno nat!” Venonat said as it shook stun spore onto the Squirtle paralyzing it.
“Squirtle return!” The boy yelled whipping out a Pokeball and recalling Squirtle. “Try this! Go... geodude!” The boy said.
“Geeoo!” Geodude said.
“Venonat use the poison powder!” Shayna ordered.
“Venno!” Venonat said spaying poison powder toward geodude.
“Geodude dodge it and use the tackle attack!” the boy ordered.
“Geo! Dude!” Geodude said tackling Venonat.
“Veno!” Venonat said injured.
“Venonat hang in there and use the Psybeam attack!” Shayna said.
“Veno!” Venonat said jumping into the air and Psybeaming Geodude.
“Geodude you can make it!” the boy said looking at his stunned Geodude. “Geodude, put it out of the fight with a mega punch!” the boy said.
“Geeeo DUDE!” Geodude said punching Venonat very hardly.
“Veno naat.” Venoat said before it fainted.
“Oh no! Venonat return!” Shayna said as her pokeball recalled Venonat.
“Go Charmander!” Shayna ordered.
“Char.” Charmander said.
“Charmander, since Geodude is weak use FireSpin.... full blast!” Shayna ordered.
“Char man DER!!!!” Charmander said as a huge flame came out and covered geodude. Whe the flame was out Geodude had fainted.
“No! I lost!” the boy screamed.
“Yeah! I won!” Shayna said. “Oh, by the way, do you know where Pewter City is?”
“Yeah. right over that hill.” the boy said sulking all the way down the road. After he left Shayna hurried to Pewter City. Straight to the Pokemon Center, that is.
She ran so quickly she didn’t seem to notice the Jigglypuff and Eevee following her.
“Marshmallow, why are we following this trainer?”
“Because. I bored and sitting in the forest all day and night is getting old. Maybe we can go adventuring with her. She doesn’t look like an evil trainer.” Fluff wasn’t so easily swayed.
“I don’t like trainers. I won’t ever like them again. Not after mine abandoned me.”
“Fluff... She isn’t YOUR trainer. She has her own pokemon. I think she’s nice. And even if she isn’t, we can have the fun of beating her at her own game. OK?”
“Ahhh... fine... But she better not try capturing us.”
“Don’t worry. I’ll never let that happen. Never.” Marshmallow produced a small tear in her eye as she remembered her first friend. She could never let someone do that to her again.
Marshmallow and Fluff snuck into the pokécenter and began searching for where the girl they saw earlier was staying. After searching through the halls, they found her room and snuck in. “Let’s just wait in here for when she wakes up,” Marshmallow whispered to Fluff. She yawned. “Ahhhh... I’m a little tired myself... let’s take a quick nap before she wakes...” They both instantly fell asleep. Shayna yawned as she woke up in her room at the Pokemon Center. Thats when she noticed she had visitors. An Eevee and a Jigglypuff were sleeping in her room. She figured she better not disturb them and tiptoed over to Charmander shaking him slightly to wake him up. “It’s time to go. We have to go to the gym today just don’t disturb our guests. Oh are they friends of yours??” Shayla asked.
“Char mander char.” Charmander said shaking his head.
“Okay. Well let’s go. We might as well get breakfast and check the town out before we go to the gym.” Shayna said. Just then the Jigglypuff stirred. “Shh...” Shayna said.
“Charmander mander char.” Charmander whispered.
“We’ll see if they’re still here when we get back.” Shayna said.
“Char.” Charmander said.
As they walked around Pewter CIty Shayna noticed a Pokémart. “Let’s check the Pokémart out.” Shayna said walking inside.
“Char char.” Charmander said following her. As they looked around Shayna saw that the store was having a special. You could buy a Pokemon! There were Eevees, Meowths, Squirtles, Pikachus, Bulbasaurs, and Sandshrews.
“Well I have enough for two. I’m getting a Squirtle for the gym and a Meowth because they are sooo cute!” Shayna said taking the Pokeballs.
“Char char.” Charmander said insulted.
“Your soooo cute too.” Shayna said hugging Charmander.
“Char.” Charmander said forgiving Shayna.
“Can I help you?” the clerk asked.
“Yes I would like these two Pokemon.” Shayna said placing the Pokéballs on the desk.
“Alright that’ll be 2000 Pokecoins.” the clerk said. “Wow.” Shayna said handing out the coins. “Now I only have 5000 left!” She said sighing.
“Char char.” Charmander said. They found the gym on the map and walked into the gym.
“Who goes there?” a voice asked.
“I am Shayna from Viridian City. I’ve come to challenge you to a match for a badge.” Shayna said.
“Alright. Two Pokemon each. No Items no time limit.” the boy said.
“Agreed.” Shayna said.
“Alright. By the way, I’m Brock (He was back at his gym for awhile.)” Brock said. “I choose... Geodude!” Brock said.
“Then I choose Charmander!” Shayna said.
“Char!” Charmander said running into battle.
“Charmander flamethrower!” Shayna ordered her Charmander.
“Man DER!” Charmander said flaming geodude till’ he was coal black.
“Geo.” Geodude said weak but not defeated.
“Geodude use the rock throw!” Brock ordered Geodude.
“Geo!” Geodude said throwing three big rocks at charmander. But charmander dodged them easily and waited for it’s master to say it’s next attack.
“Charmander fire spin. Finish it off!” Shayna said.
“Char!” Charmander said forming a swirl of fire over Geodude. When it had ended Geodude had fainted.
“Geodude return!” Brock said whipping out his Pokeball and recalling geodude.
“This time I choose onix!” Brock said throwing down a Pokeball a huge Onix emerged from the small pokeball.
“Alright! Charmander return.” She said and Charmander ran back to her side. “I choose... Squirtle!” Shayna said.
“Squirtle!” Squirtle said emerging from his Pokeball.
“Squirtle weaken it with a water gun!” Shayna ordered her squirtle.
“Squirtle!” Squirtle said spraying water out of it’s mouth and on to Onix.
“Onix tackle it!” Brock ordered. Onix’s tackle connected with Squirtle. Squirtle was hurt but he was still ready to fight.
“Squirtle finish it!” Shayna said pointing to the weakened Onix, “Bubblebeam!”
“Squiirt!” Squirtle said as bubbles came out of it’s mouth and hit onix, fainting it.
“Onix! Return.” Brock said. “You are very strong you have earned a Boulder badge.” he said handing her the badge.
“Thankyou.” Shayna said. “Goodbye!” she said as she and Charmander walked out of the gym. They headed to their room at the Pokemon Center. Jigglypuff and Eevee were sitting there waiting for her. “Hi little Jigglypuff and Eevee. What are you two doing here?” she asked. “You talk to her. I’m just sitting here,” Fluff said to Marshmallow.
“Jiggy, jigg, jigg, jigglypuff! [Hi, I’m Marshmallow and this is my friend Fluff! ]”
Shayna tried to make sense of what Marshmallow was saying. Her Charmander translated it for her. “Oh. Well. My name is Shayna. What were you two doing in my room this morning?” Marshmallow looked at Fluff.
“Ahhh... We wanted to meet you. You looked like a nice human. Can we stick around with you and go on adventures?”
“Sure. I love company! Welcome to the group Marshmallow, Fluff.” She extended her hand to pet the adorable Eevee but Fluff smacked her hand away and ducked his head down.
“Fluff! She’s not evil. She just wants to pet you.”
“No! No trainers! No! Not after what I’ve been through.”
“Awww... Were you abandoned?”
Fluff’s eyes began to water. “I don’t want to talk about it right now.” He started to cry.
“How could anyone abandon such an adorable pokémon like you. Well, I’m not an evil trainer. Can we be friends Fluff?” She reached her hand out to him again. Fluff cowered back but then gave up. She petted his soft fur. Fluff cooed as she ran her hand slowly over him. For the first time since his trainer had left him, he left a special bond to a human.
“Well, I see you two are friends now. Where are we going first, ahhhh, what do we call you?”
“Oh, my name is Shayna.”
