What Am I?

Da Truck! :D

Jen had snatched up her poncho, and ran from the gym as fast as she could. Her Pokemon followed close behind, as all three of them got soaked.

        “Master, please stop! We must find shelter from this downpour or you may fall ill.” Gastly cried over the roar of the torrent.

        Jen ignored him and kept on running. Vulpix ran close to her heels, leaping and bounding over every root and rock they came across.

        Jen stopped and picked Vulpix up, wrapping her fox Pokemon in her poncho.

        “Master, you don’t need to do this. Please get under the poncho. You’re getting soaked to the bone.”

        Jen ignored her and kept walking down route 6. There were times when she slipped on the muddy ground, but she didn’t let that slow her down. It didn’t take them very long to find Vermilion City.

        Vermilion appeared to be much smaller than the previous cities that Jen had been to. She slowed to a walk once she and her Pokemon entered the city, and looked for the Pokemon Center.

        Gastly rose into the air to help pinpoint where the gym and Center was. “Master, this way.” He said as he led her towards the Center.

        Jen followed swiftly behind, still clutching onto Vulpix. The streets were abandoned here as well, but Jen could see into some of the houses and see residence moving about inside. She shook her head and walked into the Center.

        Both Gastly and Vulpix shook themselves off as Jen approached the counter.

        “Hello, how may I help you?” Nurse Joy asked.

        “I would like my Pokemon to be healed, please.” Jen replied.

        “And would you like a room? You look quite soaked and tired.” Nurse Joy asked sweetly.

        “No. I just need my Pokemon to be healed and dried. Thank you.”

        Joy frowned at Jen’s denial for a room, but accepted her request anyway. Gastly and Vulpix were taken to the back to be healed, and as Jen watched them disappear into the back, she took out her phone and called Ash. She had to tell him.

        The phone rang and rang.

        “But how do I tell him?” She wondered as the phone continued to ring.

        “Hello?” It was Misty.

        Jen looked at her caller ID to make sure she had called the right number. “Misty, what are you doing with Ash’s phone? Are you with Ash right now?”

        “Yeah, but he is a little busy at the moment. Do you want me to leave him a message?” Misty asked. Jen couldn’t tell if Misty’s voice sounded a bit off or not.

        “No, no, that’s alright. I’ll try him back later…are you alright, Misty? You sound as if you have been crying.”

        “Crying? Oh, no, Jen, no, I haven’t…not exactly.”

        “You’re just happy to see Ash, aren’t you?”

        There was a pause on the other end.

        Jen let herself grin a little. “Where are you two lovebirds now?”

        “Ah…we…” Jen could hear Misty blushing on the other end as she stumbled over her words. “We’re…uh-”
