Pokemon Pearl

Chapter 12

The next morning, Rico woke up, made his bed, and went downstairs to eat breakfast. And as they eat breakfast, Rosario asked Rico, "So, sweetie, what"s your schedule today?"

"Well," Rico replied while thinking, "I"m going to visit my friend Wesley in Muñoz today. I"m telling him that I had my first Pokèmon."

"Oh, sure," Rosario replied, "You can do that."

"Yeah," Lucas added as he drinks his brown coffee, "By the way, I"m busy today so go and visit him yourself. Do you had your train and bus card?"

"Yes, daddy, I had them in my bag," Rico brightly replied, "I"ll be back this afternoon."

"Okay, kiddo," Lucas replied, "I"ll drop you at Kawayan East Railway Station before I go to work. Is that okay?" In response, Rico nodded in agreement with him.

Later after breakfast, Rico went upstairs, and changed clothing. First of all he put on his plain red t-shirt, and then, top it off with a light green, sky blue, and white striped, long-sleeved, hooded jacket. He then leave the zipper unzipped, showing his red shirt. Next, he put on his brown pants with pockets. He then put on his dark blue and dark red shoes. He then put Riolu"s Pokeball in his red and dark blue shoulder bag, along with his journal, two small pencils, and smartphone. After that, Rico returned downstairs, with his shoulder bag, and ride on his father"s car.

Later while driving through the city streets, Lucas asked his son, "So, do you know how to say to the transport staff?"

"Yeah, I knew how," Rico answered while playing a game on his smartphone.

But years before Rico got his first Pokèmon, he and his father used to go to Muñoz to visit Wesley and his family, who had moved away after Wesley"s father got a job there. They visited them more than twice a year. But as his father became busier at work, Rico decided to visit Wesley himself, if he wanted to. He was given a train and bus card by his parents so he could travel anywhere on train or bus. The cost was between 100 Pokedollars and 200 Pokedollars, but Rico considered this as reasonable.

Being originated from the Mecard World (Another Anime Show), Lucas Cruz is shown to have excellent skills on electronics, especially on mecardimals (Talking toy vehicles which transform to robots when summoned into battle), and currently hold a medium-paying job as an electronics expert and engineer at a gadget company in Rico"s hometown. He was excellent at his tech work, and was appreciated by his boss. But despite his strange origin, Lucas remained a loving father and husband to his family. Rico, however, didn"t know about this until the future.


At Kawayan East Railway Station, Rico proceeded to the cashiers to buy a ticket.

"h.e.l.lo, kid," the cashier greeted, "What is your destination?"

"Muñoz, please," Rico brightly answered.

"Okay, kid"s ticket?" the cashier replied.

"Yes," Rico replied. Calculating the price, the cashier replied, "That"ll be 160 Pokedollars. Cash or card?" In response, Rico gave his train card to the cashier. The cashier then swiped it, give it back to Rico, and said, "Thank you, kid. Here"s your ticket. The train will arrive at 9:00 a.m;" she then gave the ticket to Rico.

"Thank you," Rico brightly and politely replied upon receiving the ticket; he then proceeded to the station platform. After pa.s.sing the security gate, Rico arrived at the station platform, but train is not yet arrived.

Then, after a bit of waiting, the high-speed train arrived at the station. That high-speed train, which just came from the city of Saint Martin, 50 kilometers west of Peñon de Kawayan, was a European-style high speed train with electric lines as its source of power. Once opening its doors, Rico entered the fourth train car with his shoulder bag, along with 19 other pa.s.sengers. The train car, however, was a business cla.s.s one, with 2 rows of seats facing to each other around a table. There Rico settled in a seat for four, putting his shoulder bag onto a table. Once settled, Rico called out his Riolu and let it sit next to him. Half an hour later, the doors closed and the train started to leave the station on a rising speed to 110 km/h. The announcement was this, "Next station: Dasma Town. Estimated travel time: 44 minutes and 23 seconds."

Later, as train speed climbs, along the way, Rico and Riolu went sight-seeing out of their train window, looking at a lot of variety of Pokemon in different biomes: Pidgeys, Pidgeottos, Lotads, Starlys, Staravias, Budews, Burmies, Cherubis, Shaymins, Pidoves, Tranquills, Sewaddles, Pet.i.tils, Rufflets, Vivillons, Noibats, Pikipeks, and Fomantises. Also, they even saw a Braviary flying over the train, and above the electric lines. After that, Rico showed Riolu a piece of brochure containing information about a historical monument at Muñoz. Riolu seems to be interested at this.

Later, at 9:45 a.m., the train arrived at Dasma Town, a small town surrounded by hills of the countryside views and greens. The train doors opened, but Rico and Riolu didn"t get off, because their destination is after Dasma Town. So, after half an hour, the train doors closed, and the train started to leave the station at a steady, rising speed. Then the announcement occurred, "Next station: Muñoz Town. Estimated travel time: 39 minutes and 21 seconds."

"Yes!" Rico responded in excitement upon hearing it, "That"s our destination, Riolu." Riolu then responded with excitement.

Meanwhile, in the same time, at the Soratas Mountains, the Pokèmon Pinchers were deciphering and decoding the four scrolls of Arceus under the supervision of Red Eye.

"Keep up the good work, guys," Red Eye commented while supervising their work, "Because we have great plans to do;" he then smiled in evil.
