The sun was still shining, the birds still twittering and Skull was still in a very bad mood. She'd tried very hard to behave while getting a Pokemon, and had instead stood cursing Bill out of view of the lab's windows while her boyfriend, Kurai, was getting his Pokemon. She would have gone in with him if she wasn't so furious with the way that Alakazam had humiliated her.
With an angry sigh, the pale youth looked again at her watch. It was almost three o'clock. At this rate, they would have to stay here in Barkwish for the night, or sleep out on the road. Skull couldn't stand to do either. She couldn't go home since her mother kicked her out, and the thought of sleeping out in the open apalled her, even if Kurai was there as well.
Tapping her foot irratably, Skull started to go though her inventory to make sure she had all she would need. Her iPod, guitar, journal, raidio...Perhaps taking so much heavy junk would only slow them down, but Skull didn't care. It would be worth it in the long run, so she thought. She zipped up her bag again and looked up, watching for her boyfriend.

Kurai snuck up behind Skull, being very careful that she didn't notice that he was there. Kurai sadly had an obsession with doing one of the most annoying things ever. It all started one day when he did it once. Then he did it the next day. Soon he started doing it to other people. And then...it spread.
And once Kurai was close enough behind Skull, he reached his hand in front of her neck, slid it gently across her neck and said "Stealth kill!"

Skull yelped and jumped a bit. She didn't like her neck being touched. With an angry glare she turned on Kurai. "Why do you always do that?!" Skull shouted, then immediately regreted it. She hated to get so angry with Kurai, since he scared so easily. But every day he did this!
"Ach-Nevermind." The greasy teenage waved her hand to show it was no big deal. "So...What did you get? The Prof gave me a Trapinch. It'll be a Flygon someday!" As she spoke, a light flashed from her bag and said Trapinch appeared at her side, looking grumpy. Skull glowered at it for a moment. Why couldn't the thing stay in it's damn Pokeball? But she turned back to Kurai and added, "I nicknamed him Sandstar. Where's your Pokemon?"

Kurai couldn't help but laugh a bit at Skull's reaction to the stealth kill. "I do it 'cause it's fun." he said. "Anyway. Is there really any question to what I got?" He pulled Fireball's Pokéball out of his bag, and tossed it into the air. It opened, and Fireball appeared on his shoulder. "Her name's Fireball, by the way."

"Oh, cool!" Skull exclaimed, reaching out a hand to pet Fireball. It was rare for a starter-especially one like Torchic-to be female. Kurai was really lucky to get one like this. Fireball looked like she would be a strong battler as well. Shooting a worried glance at Sandstar, Skull couldn't help but wonder if the bad-tempered little Trapinch would be any good as a fighter.
As though he had read her thoughts, Sandstar glared right back up at his new master. /No good as a fighter this!/ he growled(in the Pokemon language, of course), opened his huge mouth wide and chomped down on Skull's right hand.
Skull screeched in pain and shook off the Trapinch. "Ow ow ow ow!!" The teenager wailed. "Worthless little bugger!" She tried to kick the Trapinch but he jumped out of the way and stuck out his tounge at her. Truely these two were made for each other.

"Ah-Are you alright?" Kurai asked. He figured he already knew the answer. Even so, he still had to ask. It was how he was. He knew very well that Skull could watch out for herself, yet he always worried about her. He wanted to protect her, even if he didn't need to.

Irritably, Skull flicked droplets of blood from her hand and inspected the damage. Small puncture wounds were evenly spaced out across the back of her hand where Sandstar's teeth had broken the skin. But luckily, the Trapinch hadn't biten too hard and the damage was not too bad.
"Yeah, I'm fine." Skull muttered. She ripped off one of the many random pieces of black cloth she kept on her wrist and wrapped it around her hand to prevent too much blood loss. Sandstar smirked, but Skull ignored him. And she knew returning him to his ball would do no good, so she didn't even bother.
Skull looked again to Kurai's Torchic, still perched on his shoulder. She hoped Fireball would be kind to Kurai. He could use another really good friend, as he had so few. Skull was glad he wouldn't have to deal with Sandstar's attitude. "I hope Fireball's better behaved than Sandstar." Skull commented. She was testing Fireball's reaction to see if she was really the right Pokemon for Skull's beloved.

Fireball stared at Skull for a moment, then hopped of Kurai's shoulder and looked at the ground, pretending to be sad, and started to walk away. "Look what you did, Skull." Kurai said, joking. "Comparing her to Sandstar. You hurt her feelings. You're so cruel." He laughed, and then kneeled down for Fireball to hop back onto his shoulder.
"So, what now?" he asked.

"I wasn't comparing her to Sandstar!" Skull retorted, alarmed. She sometimes had trouble recognizing sarcasm or acting when she wasn't the one being sarcasm. Skull was also a little out-of-it, having been dropped on her head earlier. "I was just saying it's good that she's better behaved than Sandstar, 'cause you-" Skull broke off here, deciding this was one time she would refrain from speaking her mind.
"We'd better get on the road." The pale teen said hurriedly, gathering up her things and swinging her guitar onto her back. "We need to reach the next town before nightfall. I am not sleeping on the ground tonight." Skull started out down the road without waiting to see if Kurai was following. Sandstar dragged his feet along behind her.

Kurai didn't say any words in response. He wasn't sure of what Skull was going to say before she cut off, but he was sure that she definetaly had a reason for not telling him what she thought. Although his curiosity would sometimes get the better of him, this time he decided that he simply would rather not know. His thoughts were already plagued enough by worries about himself. Did he really need more?
