Once the guys in the funny tuxedos let all us trainers go, me, Raynard, and Autumn began heading out of the Indigo Plateau building. Much to my surprise, all the buses were gone. I frowned, looking in the direction of where Viridian City lay. How many miles was it? Five or six? Oh, god, my feet are going to be killing me.
Autumn and Raynard didn't look too alarmed by this. “Well, we have a long walk ahead of us. Why don't we allow our Pokemon out of their balls?” suggested Autumn with a smile. Before I could even say Articuno, she let out the Pikachu that she proudly proclaimed hers when she greeted us.
Raynard let out his strange candle Pokemon (though, if you ask me, it looks more like a giant marshmallow) called Litwick. I frowned slightly as I pulled out my first Pokemon's pokeball. I sighed and released him. Autumn's Pikachu jumped over to the Litwick and my Sandshrew, greeting them. The Litwick give any verbal response, and my Sandshrew waved its arms. Once they were done, we started heading out.
Farther down the way, we saw other trainers. One had a Pikachu as well. I took a moment to think. There are a lot of Sandshrew and Pikachu around Kanto and Jhoto...just like Ratattata and other such Pokemon. “Maybe we should give our Pokemon names?” I suggested. “I'm sure a lot of people could get a hold of similar Pokemon as we do...”
“Not a Litwick,” answered Raynard.
Autumn smiled. “Yeah, we should do that!”
I looked down at my Sandshrew, unsure of what to name the little guy. He had gone quite a distance a head of us with Autumn's Pikachu. Raynard's Litwick stayed with him, riding on her trainer's hat.
My eyes turned upward as I rummaged my mind for ideas. Ryan...no, that doesn't fit. Riku? Too common. So's Hunter and Yuki. Now, Yuki's just ironic. So would be Mizu. Nion? Timmy? Kennith? Take? No, that's just-
The next thing I knew, I found myself face first in the dirt path. I gritted my teeth and looked back to see my Sandshrew “grinning” sheepishly at me like only a Pokemon can. How rude! “That's it, your name's Rudy!”
Behind me, I could swear that my traveling companions might have sweatdropped.
