The Miko and the Legends
Chapter I
Prompt: Journey
Ten-year old Higarashi Kagome followed behind her best friend, Inuyasha, as they headed for their destination. Inuyasha had showed up at her house this morning with the idea of maybe encountering a red Gyarados at Lake Verity. The puppy-eared boy had been all but bouncing in place waiting for the raven-haired Kagome to finish getting ready.
The duo had left their home, Twin Leaf Town, behind a few minutes ago. Pausing at the edge of the town the two spotted an older male in what looked to be a lab coat and a boy their age. The other duo soon headed in the direction of Lake Verity, as well. Inuyasha looked to where the older male and his companion wandered off to with a curious look, “Wonder what they are up to?” Inuyasha turned to Kagome, “Do you know who they were?”
Kagome shook her head in a negative fashion, “No idea. Are we still going to go to the lake?” she asked her friend.
Inuyasha nodded vigorously, “of course. You want to see that rare Pokémon, right?” At Kagome’s nod, he continued, “then we need to keep moving.” And with that, the duo made their way towards the lake. They soon entered the forest surrounding Lake Verity once more spotting the old man and boy waiting by the still water of the lake. After a few moments the strange duo turned to leave, Inuyasha and Kagome mover aside to let them pass. After they were gone, Inuyasha spotted something in the grass, “What is that? Is it a briefcase?” Inuyasha moved to get a closer look, but Kagome’s voice stopped him.
“Leave it Inuyasha! We’re not supposed to enter into the tall grass! What if a Pokémon attacks?”
Inuyasha shook his head, his white puppy ears flat against his head at her tone. “Don’t worry so much, Kags. Nothing is going to attack us. Besides don’t you think we should return it to them?”
“Well yea….” Kagome’s voice trailed off as she reluctantly followed after her best friend. Suddenly a pair of small bird Pokémon jumped out at them. They were in fact a pair of Starly. Kagome looked over at her friend, “Well now what, genius?”
Inuyasha looked around before turning to the briefcase that had gotten knocked over; “Look,” he said pointing to it, “Pokéballs. We can use them.” Ignoring her warning he grabbed a pokéball and threw it. Out popped a small monkey with a flame on the tip of its tail.
Kagome gasped in recognition, “that’s a Chimchar! It’s a fire-type!” She looked at the other two pokéballs, before grabbing one herself. Tossing it up into the air and pushing the release button, out popped a small green turtle with a leaf on its head. “Go! Turtwig!” she called out.
Inuyasha looked at the Starly before turning to Kagome and asking, “Now what?”
She shrugged, “guess we battle.” She looked at the Starly as it rushed over to her Turtwig, “Dodge it Turtwig! And then use Tackle!” the turtle Pokémon obeyed, moving swiftly out of the way, before ramming its whole body into the other Pokémon. Once more Tackle later and the injured Starly fled. Cheering, Kagome knelt to give the little Turtwig a hug, congratulating it on its first successful battle.
Kagome then turned to check on Inuyasha, only to discover that the other Starly had also fled. Chimchar was resting on Inuyasha shoulder. The sound of rushing feet drew her attention as the boy in the red hat approached them, and following him was the old man in the lab jacket.
Kagome immediately remembered the briefcase full of pokéballs and bowed before speaking, “we’re sorry for using these Pokémon without asking, but we were ambushed by a pair of Starly. If you want, we will return them.”
The professor looked at both Inuyasha and Kagome, before turning his attention to the Chimchar and Turtwig. “no need for that, young lady. I can see that those two Pokémon are perfectly content to remain at your side. Why don’t you two stop by my lab in the morning? There is something we need to discuss.” Receiving a nod from both of them, he walked over to grab his briefcase, before turning and leaving the lake.
Kagome looked over at her friend before saying. “It’s getting late, Inuyasha. Why don’t we head home?” Upon receiving a nod in response, Kagome lead the way back home to Twin Leaf Town, after recalling her Turtwig.
