Heartfelt Interference
Chapter Two
Age 13
You tried to keep the blush off your face as you squeezed your arms closer to your body. Beside you was a rather cute boy from class. You played with the end of your braid, which you had pulled over the shoulder nearest him as you tried to keep your eyes towards the window. It wasn't so strange that you were sitting next to him; it was just that you were sitting so close to him on the bus. The bus which was jostling down a very familiar road.
"So how big is it?" Max, the boy beside you, asked.
Nervously you turned to look at him. You took a deep breath and offered him a smile to start out with.
"Well we have a lake, a lot of room for herd pokemon, a cave system that goes around the simulated volcano…" you started to list off, "a small forest area...uh, basically an area for each type of pokemon. So pretty big."
"Where do you live?" Max asked the next question.
"We have houses scattered all throughout the area."
"I heard you guys build you houses with your bare hands."
You smiled as the blush finally made it's way onto your face. "Well...kinda. I mean in the last year, if we're going to stay on at the ranch, then yeah. We're supposed to build a house with the help of our pokemon or the pokemon in the area."
He looked rather confused about that and you really didn't know why. Though as the silence dragged on you slowly started to see why. He was probably thinking about poorly built log cabins or people continuously living in tents. You were even pretty sure he'd been thinking about leaky roofs and things like outhouses. And then there was stuff about cooking over an open flame and seeing by candlelight once it got dark. None of that was exactly new things for you but as Max reflected on it silently, never having said a word, you got the distinct impression that he would never want to live that way. That he thought it was weird.
Feeling embarrassed you went quiet again even as the gates of the breeding ranch came into view. It would still be at least another ten minutes before the bus pulled up to the greeting center where clients or visitors were introduced to the grounds. As your school mates filed out of the bus a rather large group started to form. There was excited chatter as the teachers rounded everyone up and made sure that the headcheck was right.
A streak of bright light caught your attention. Instantly you knew what it was - Rorch, your eevee, had used quick attack to get away from whomever had been trying to keep him away from the group. Unfortunately the teacher had called you back to attention as they started to rattle off all the rules. Which seemed really strange, given that you were at your own home. Especially when they started to go over safety rules about not approaching any of the pokemon.
You felt your legs being brushed up against by a rather familiar bushy tail. Rorsh had gotten out from under the busses and had walked towards you, as quiet as a ghost pokemon. As you went to pick him up, your teacher came over to you with a very disappointed expression.
"Didn't we just tell you not to touch the pokemon without direct permission?"
You nodded as you stood up, leaving Rorsh on the ground. It was obvious that the teacher had singled you out by the way the students were looking around. Not to mention that had been a question obviously directed at you.
Rorsh looked up between you and the teacher and you got the distinct feeling that he was not happy. At all; not a single strand of fur anywhere on him liked the fact that this new human (to him) had stopped you from picking him up. He liked it less that this one was using a mean tone at you.
"Now, if you think you can restrain yourself we'll continue."
Restrain yourself? You tried to hold back the flood of embarrassment that wanted to swallow you hole as the teacher turned back around. Rorsh butted his tan colored head into your calf, though really it was more like a brush with how gentle he was.
You tried to impart upon him a 'not now' look and sensation as the group started moving, silently directing him to the idea that he should go play. But Rorsh would have none of that - he kept by you as the crowd moved. His wide eyes moving back and forth as he took in all the new humans. He knew that you went to school with a lot of new humans but he never thought it would be this many. And he already didn't like at least half of them. The ones that had laughed when you had gotten a scolding for nothing - he didn't like those.
He also didn't like the human (Max) which had tried to smile at you in reassurance.
Of course, you got those sensations as they rolled off your Eevee but there was nothing you could really do about it. It wasn't like you could leave the group or try to introduce Rorsh to all your schoolmates. At least not without the teacher seeing.
'I can't right now, Rorsh. I still have to do the school thing,' you thought, though it was less than firm, as you stared at the tan and cream pokemon as you tried to get your point across.
He stared back up at you silently, the look of determination in his eyes. Instead of answering you in any word type way, he simply started walking beside you when the class started to move. It even felt like he was paying attention to what the teacher was saying. In a way, it was extremely cute. He wanted to try to do the 'school thing' too. In another way it was making you a little nervous. Especially when Max kept looking over with that incredibly cute and friendly smile of his.
You followed quietly in the middle of the group, trying to draw attention to Rorsh or yourself, as the group moved on. It looks like your parents and everyone else had been busy setting up yesterday and this morning because as soon as everyone moved out of the welcoming center, there were a lot of different station set up. Of course they were still a little spread out but you could already see two dotted around. You didn't remember doing this last year but then again, last year there wasn't a field trip to your family's ranch so that was probably why. It wasn't until this year that you started to study how all the biodiversity of pokemon worked together within the Earth's systems.
With so many different stations it was no wonder that lunch came before the end. You sat down on one of the grassy hills overlooking part of the grass pokemon habitat. Watching them was relaxing and it almost made you want to choose to handle the grass one next. You shook your head as you took a bite of meat. No - you weren't going to change your plans. You had it all planned out and you weren't going to change it.
"That eevee is yours isn't it?" Max asked as he sat down by you.
You looked at him with a mildly surprised expression. You hadn't expected for him to get up away from his friends. The only reason the two of you had been close on the bus was the fact that his friends had chosen the back seat as well, just like you had. Which meant that everyone, including yourself, had squeezed onto the back seat.
"Well he doesn't have a pokeball or anything, but yeah I suppose you could say that," you informed him as you picked up your bottle of water.
"So how'd you get him?"
You smiled nervously. "My mom and dad gave me him as an egg when I was ten."
"That's cool. Hey--" he started to say something but cut himself off as he looked over your shoulder. "Oh no…"
Mildly alarmed you looked around to see what he was staring at. His small group of friends were over by the edge of the forest area with food in one hand and a pokeball in the other. For a moment you couldn't believe what you were seeing. What were they thinking?!
"I can't believe them."
"Are they seri--oh no," your voice broke off.
They just found a newly hatched Pichu and were trying to lure it out with a cut up apple. And seeing as only one Pichu had hatched in the last year you knew exactly it's parentage. It had been pretty big news around your family because the mother was a Dedenne from the Kalos region that had fallen in love with a trainer's Pikachu. The poor thing ended up following the trainer until it got the Pikachu to love it, or so you'd been told because Pokemon were exceedingly monogamous and loyal. But the trainer couldn't capture and train the Dedenne because none of the pokemon would battle it. Probably because it had an egg developing. So the Dedenne had been sent over to the farm so she could lay and hatch the egg.
Which also meant that those kids were going to be in for a rude awakening. There was going to be an angry momma.
You got up without even considering what Max might have thought. Your legs carried you over to where the three boys had been gathered trying to lure the Pichu out. You could already see the mother Dedenne coming out from the bush and she didn't look happy.
Without having to glance down you knew that Rorsh was running with you towards the kids. The Pichu reached out for the apple timidly. But once it was munching on the apple, the boys had surrounded him. A shock of surprise stunned not only the boys but the Pichu himself. Even through the stun, the baby Pichu started to cry. And just like that, the mother was out and charging up an electric attack.
You came to a stop as you pushed the boys out of the way just in time. The teacher was coming over but it was already too late. They'd pissed off the mother and the baby was still crying.
You motioned to Rorsh to with a swirl of your finger to let him know what to do. Eevee kicked up a sand attack and started started up a quick attack to contain the sand. The wind from the quick attack washed over you in almost a soothing manner, letting you know that everything was being dealt with just right.
"Don't hit her!" You called out.
Just in time too because Rorsh had started his swift attack. It pushed the mother back as you picked up the baby, soothing it. The little sparks were things that you were used to by this point. Not because you had trained with them or anything but because you had grown up around pokemon.
"Shh, shh, I'll get you back to your mom," you soothed the baby.
You leaned your head down to the little thing, trying to sooth it, as your hand stroked the tip of it's tale. This way, just incase the shocks started happening again, you made a complete circuit. As Rorsh pushed the Dedenne back with swift, you walked around. Rorsh looked between you and the mother pokemon in concern but you just smiled. The little baby was calmed down now.
You bent down and held Pichu out. Dedenne came up to you wearily but once she had her baby back, holding onto her back, she took back off. By nature Dedenne wasn't that aggressive...or at least this one wasn't. She had just wanted her baby back safe and sound.
Rorsh came over to stand beside your crouched form even though you kept your eyes on the retreating mother pokemon. As your hand brushed through his fur a crowd started to form but the teacher stopped them. You figured out just why that was when light started to glow from your side. You looked in surprise to see Rorsh glowing and pulsing. His form got bigger and bigger until he was three feet tall sitting on his hunches.
When the glow broke, Rorsh's new form was revealed.
"Oh wow," you said as you looked at the lilac fur of your new Espeon.
"Are you done gawking?" The voice, deep and somehow soothing to the nerves, sounded off somewhere in the reaches of your mind like listening to the tale end of a dream.
You blinked and fell on your butt as you looked at him. Nope, you definitely weren't done gawking. Rorsh was an Espeon now; not exactly something you'd expected to happen.
"Was...that you?" You asked as you looked at him with a tilted head.
Rorsh smirked, and yes you could tell the difference, as he nodded. As you stared at him, you forgot all about the fact that your classmates were witness to all of this. But in your defense you'd never really seen an Espeon first hand before. And you had never heard Rorsh as you just had. The only ever voice you had heard in your head, besides your own, was a rather playful Ninetails a few months ago. But Rorsh's voice was something else entirely - it felt a lot closer in every way that you could think of. Quite literally in this case.
