Chapter 38 - A kid from the past?

It's been a while…

"I can't wait any more-" I said to myself getting up from bed.

I haven't rested that long. My body is still sore but I can move efficiently enough.

"Chloe! …Zorua??" I called out as I walked through the house.

The place was empty, the only thing I heard was the chirping of the Pidgeys.

The sun peeked through the window and illuminated the living room I was currently in.

I sat on the chair feeling the warm sun hit against my back.

It felt nice..

Eventually I ended up sleeping there even though I couldn't a few minutes ago..

Maybe that's why cats do this.

"So this place is a burial ground?" Chloe asked as she looked at all the tombstones

"Indeed it is." The mr.Fuji walked ahead leading the way to the top.

Mr.Fuji, Chloe and Zorua were in the pokemon tower trying to get to the top floor.

"This is where trainers pay respects to their comrades that died in battle during the war between Kanto and Jhoto…people still use it to this day for their fallen friends."

"Oh.." Chloe said a hint of sadness filled her voice as she remembered him…

"No matter how much you love them they're going to leave you sooner or later and you're going to have to say your goodbyes…but the good times you two share are always special."

"I guess you're right."

"How long were you two traveling for?" Mr.Fuji asked her.

"We were traveling for six months."

"That's quite a while you two must be pretty close."

"No ..not really-"

Mr.Fuji was confused by what she just said.

"Really? By the way he called your name. I was sure of it."

Chloe turned red hearing this and just ignored his statement.

"We're almost there." Mr. Fuji said as he climbed the last flight of stairs.

Chloe followed him

Our journey continues with a boy with straight blue hair with a black fade and blue eyes.

He had on a long blue (short sleeved) shirt with a black (long sleeved) one underneath that stretched even longer and was wearing brown cargo pants.

He and his partner Oshawott are going on an adventure through the hilly plains of the Kanto region at the ripe age of 15.

They were together for quite a while and their adventures so far were nothing but fruitful.

With four badges to their name they are now heading for the soul badge in Fuchsia city!

"Hey there!" The boy heard a voice behind him and turned around to see who it was.

He saw a man with brown spikey hair, black leather jacket and brown pants.

It was Blue.

"Your Kenzo Atsuna, correct?" Blue asked with a smile.

"Yeah? Who are you?" Kenzo turned around fully to get a good look at this stranger.

"I'm Blue! Might've heard of me. I'm the only one who can beat red now-a-days" Blue pushed his hair back as if he was some superstar leaving Kenzo and his Oshawott confused.

"Blue? Never heard of someone named after a color before-"

Kenzo's words shot daggers at Blue's self esteem.

"..You ok?" He looked at Blue with a concerned look.

"Yeah I'm fine…Anyway back on topic." Blue brushed off the earlier comment.

"I saw you fight Erika and i gotta say i'm impressed you beat her entire team with just a water type."

Blue complemented Kenzo but he felt something was wrong.

"What do you want?" He wanted to get straight to the point as soon as possible.

"What I want is…for you to join me on a mission to Unova."

"Pass." He immediately responded before turning around to leave.

"H-hey wait! Don't you want to see Unova??"

"It'll get in the way of my training and my gym badge collecting." He continued as he walked off.

"Hold on a sec!" Blue tried to catch up to the kid.

"If you need a Gym badge and training that badly I can train you myself. I'll have you know that i'm the 8th/strongest gym leader in all of Kanto!"

That caught Kenzo's attention and he stopped to listen.

"Really?"

"Of course! And I can give you some special top tier training on our trip to Unova." He crossed his arms and nodded confidently.

"Besides, you'll get to catch more Unovian pokemon like Oshawott."

Blue looked at the trainer from top to bottom.

"You do have other pokemon..right?"

"Nope-" Kenzo instantly replied.

'Does this kid even know that Oshawott is from Unova?' Blue thought to himself.

"Hey kid, where are you from anyway?"

Blue asked out of curiosity.

"The Granite region."
