Journey To Becoming A Gym Leader [Discontinued]

Ch.5: Arriving in Santalune City

"We finally made it to Santalune!" I said.

"Yeah, that forest was pretty long," Jake said.

Santalune was a beautiful place. A lovely large fountain gathered Pokemon and small children.  A stone statue of Roselina in the center sprouting water from the flowers on its hands.

"Wow, that is so beautiful. I only have seen this place a few times when visiting my older sister who lives here with her husband," I said.

"You have a sister?" Jake asked.

"Yeah, and a younger brother," I replied.

"Cool, I have two brothers," Jake said.

I nodded.

Suddenly there, was rustling heard in the bushes. I turned around to see a pink creature jump out and tackle me.

"Meowth! Meow!" The cat pokemon screeched and cried as she prepared to fight the mystery pokemon.

"It's a skitty," Jake said.

"Skitty-  The Kitten Pokémon. Skitty will get completely caught up in pursuing any moving objects that catch its eye."

"Skitty!" The pink cat pokemon cried, jumping onto my stomach and licking my face.

"Skitty, there you are!" A familiar voice shouted.

We looked over to see women with red hair tied in a bun running toward us.

'Wait a minute, is that my sister?'

"I have been looking all over for you. Why did you run off like that?" The lady asked, out of breath but not mad. She turned her attention to Jake and me. "Well, if it isn't my little sister, she said. "Allow me to introduce myself to your friend here. My name is Jessica Rose. I am a pokemon breeder. I own a nursing home around here in Santalune City." She said in a formal tone. "This Skitty is one of my pokemon. She has a habit of popping out of her Pokeball and running off."

"A pokemon nursery?" Jake asked.

"Yeah, would you like a tour of the nursery? I know my sister has already seen it a few times, but I actually have something I want to give her."

"I guess I come just to see what it is you want to give me," I replied.

~•~

We were currently touring my sister's pokemon nursery.  It was a really massive house with a large garden for the pokemon to play in.  Some of them were pokemon left by their trainers who couldn't care for them are didn't want them anymore.  There were also wild pokemon who just enjoyed playing at the nursery.

I was curious about what my sister wanted to give me.

Suddenly a tall guy with spiky hair and a very muscular body walked outside to the field to feed the pokemon.

"Hey, Henry!" I shouted.

The guy then looked at me, shocked.

"Wow, Summer, you grow. What are you doing here?"

"Well, me a Jake came here to challenge the gym but then we encounter big sister  Jessica. So she was giving Jake a tour." I replied.

"Oh yeah, I did hear that you were starting your pokemon journey," Henry said.

"Yeah, and I am one  step to coming closer to completing my dream of becoming a gym leader!"

Jessica and Henry then started laughing at my behavior.
