Imperceivable Beauty

Chapter 5

Moi-Moi: This chapter will introduce a new OC to the game. All credit goes to Umbruhon for coming up with the character. He designed everything about him. I just added him in. :D I hope you all like him.

And now for the answer to the last Pokémon trivia. It was Primal Groudon! Primal Groudon weighs a little over 2204 pounds (~1000kg). I guessed Wailord and then Giratina, but both weigh less than regular Groudon. I expected it to be a legendary though so I was close enough. For your next question,

What was the first human word Meowth learned?

Having won her first Ribbon at the Mauville Contest, Alena is now wrapping up her last day in Mauville City before she and her sister, Anya, head out towards Slateport City.

Alena tapped her pencil to her chin in thought before writing some more words down onto her notepad. She was sitting with Anya and her Pokémon in the lobby of the Mauville City Pokémon Center. Anya was running a brush along Electrike's fur on the couch next to her sister. Treecko and Absol were lounging on the floor of the Pokémon Center near the girls. Electrike panted happily on Anya's lap, always ready to receive some attention. Anya had passed the brush through Electrike's fur a few more times when Alena suddenly spoke up, "There. That should be everything we need."

"What are you doing, Alena?" Anya questioned her sister with a puzzled frown.

"I'm making a list of all the supplies we need to buy before we can head out. It's a lot so we should get started on the shopping now," Alena mused and stood.

Anya groaned loudly. Alena stopped and blinked at her sister in confusion. "Do I have to go shopping? It's not like you're going shopping for anything cool. It's just medicine and groceries. Can't I just stay here with your Pokémon?" Anya pleaded.

"I don't know... I don't think that's a good idea," Alena frowned deeply.

"Oh come on, Alena! Treecko and Absol are sleeping. Electrike is gonna fall asleep soon, too! I can sit here with them and wait for you to come back. Please, Alena? If I'm going to be a Trainer one day, I have to learn how to take care of Pokémon," Anya pointed out. "I'll take good care of them. I promise!"

Alena folded her arms with a dubious frown. But at the hopeful glint in her sister's eyes... Alena bit her lip in worry. "Do you promise to stay in the Pokémon Center?" Alena asked.

"Yes! You bet! We'll be waiting right here for you when you get back!" Anya grinned a 10,000 Megawatt grin.

"Oh, alright then. I'll be back around five. Just stay out of trouble. Okay, Anya?" Alena said and shot her sister a warning look over her shoulder before leaving. Alena frowned again at Anya's excited wave goodbye. "She's staying in the Pokémon Center. I'm sure that she won't get into any trouble with Nurse Joy around..." Alena mused as she walked away from the Center. "Then why do I still feel so worried?"

Meanwhile, Anya was giggling in excitement as she moved to stand authoritatively in front of the Pokémon. She stared down Treecko and Absol. Electrike was sitting on the couch with his tongue lolling out of his mouth, still in a happy pant. "Alright, guys. Alena left me in charge and I'm gonna make sure that nothing happens to you guys," Anya said with an entitled air about her. Absol offered her a sleepy glance through lidded eyes before resting her head on her front paws again with a yawn. Treecko had ignored her altogether. Electrike was the only one paying the utmost attention to Anya. "Absol, Treecko, are you guys even listening? Look at Electrike. He's just a baby and he knows to pay attention to me," Anya huffed.
