A Restful Break

[Zola & Zalmon]

After the long, tiring battle on route 801, the group was back at the Pokemon center, healing their Pokemon back to full heal so that they would be able to train some more. Their Pokemon were getting stronger and so were the people themselves.

As usual Zalmon took his and his sister's up to the front desk. Arceus forbid his sister ever do it. Zalmon didn't mind though, he was happy to give his sister some time to rest.

[Timothy]

"Hey. I never asked your story, Zalmon, what is your class," Tim asked, patting Zalmon on the shoulder after giving Sakura to Nurse Joy.

[Zola & Zalmon]

Zalmon blinked. Timothy was correct, neither he nor his....Friend? Mentioned their class or their history. How strange.

"Huh...I guess neither of us mentioned that. Me and Zola are Coordinators, what about you?" He asked calmly, the conversation had caught Zola's attention, pulling her off the couch and over to the guys. "Hey, Whatcha guys talking about?"

[Timothy]

"I'm a trainer, proudly. I didn't have a good childhood, like I've told you before, but, I'm getting a more bright look on life. I do miss my big Sen back in Sinnoh. Huge Charizard, the most beautiful shade of black you'd ever see." Timothy smiles brightly as he flips his old phone open and shows them a picture of his Charizard. "I miss him. He had a black necklace once, it had a piece of charcoal hanging from it. It disappeared one day though. Lost it in Veilstone, strangely enough. He was a little golden Charmeleon at the time, smaller than others. I was surprised how he grew. Mom always said, if Sen gets any bigger, we'll have to get a new house... I hope he's okay without me.

[Zola & Zalmon]

Zola jumped as she remembered that. She had spotted the necklace around the golden Charmeleon's neck, Zola had a feeling it would pay decently and snatched it from the yellow lizard. The memory came back to her quite well. "Oh ya! I remember your Charmeleon!" She said excitedly. "Heh...That necklace sure help us out tha-"

Zalmon immediately covered Zola's mouth, knowing just was she was about to say, he had a feeling it was too late though, she already said most of her sentence and had a bad feeling Timothy would piece together something that would cause more trouble then it was worth. Zalmon glared at his sister a little.

"Er...Don't listen to her, we've never seen a golden Charmeleon before. What an interesting colour, doesn't that mean he was shiny?" He said trying to cover up the story the best he could, he had no clue what to say or do about the situation though.

[Timothy]

"Why yes. And ignoring that strange outburst, I miss that necklace. That Charcoal was a family heirloom, meant the world to my Charmeleon. I wish I knew what happened to it. That chunk of charcoal was worth a fortune, you know? A good 200 years old, it's strange it didn't disintegrate, but I guess it was time to let go." Timothy put his phone away and smiled at the two. "I'm kind of glad to have companions. I got lonely back at my mother's dang farm. I also miss Mimi, she was a big butthead. A Serperior. she used to hang around on my neck when she was a Servine, she had a little twinkle in her eye. Had a bow with a large diamond on the end that my Great Grandmother made for her before she died, lost it in Veilstone as well actually."

[Zola & Zalmon]

Zalmon sighed, he felt rather guilty hearing how important that necklace was to Timothy. Zola was correct in her half said out burst. That necklace did help them out quite a lot, however they were not aware that it was worth as much as a fortune. They didn't get THAT much from the seller, it was enough to get them by, that was good at least.

Zola didn't anywhere near as guilty about stealing something so important, she just shrugged and mumbled something about wishing she got a higher price out of the seller. Soon the nurse came back with their Pokemon, handing them over to the group.

"Well...I guess we might as well tell our story." Zalmon said with another sigh. "Not much to it though. We lived a normal life I guess, that is till our parents were murdered by a psychopath who broke out of jail. We ended up having to live on the streets of Veilstone. We had to learn how to live on our own and how to make money, which we did through playing music on the streets and some other stuff. That's pretty much our story, like I said, not much."

"Aw, but Zallll, you forgot all the awesome parts like when I stol-"

"Shut up!" Zalmon cut his sister off before she could continue her story. He did not need people knowing about their theft. "So...Want to get some more training done?"

[Timothy]

"Yeah man. I'm pumped." Timothy walked out the door after getting Sakura. "Never know, I could end up getting Pokemon I've had my eye set on for ages, new places and all that jazz." Timothy points at himself and smiles. "You're looking at a Legendary Pokemon trainer here, before they were taken from me back in Sinnoh." Timothy motioned for them to come. "And I'm prepared to get more, possibly."
