What Am I?

Mom, Rockets, and Memories. UGH!

        “Kenji, this is my cousin, Red. Red, this is Kenji. We met at the Hero’s Ball.”

        “It’s nice to meet you, Red.” Kenji said, holding out a friendly hand.

        Red shook his hand and nodded.

        Kenji’s smile faded a little when Red didn’t say anything.

        “Oh, sorry. Red is mute.” Jen explained.

        Red nodded again.

        “And you’re also a Pokemon trainer. How do you communicate with your Pokemon?” Kenji asked. He sounded very fascinated. 

        “I use sign and sound codes.” Red signed. Jen translated for him so Kenji could understand him.

        “What are sound codes?”

        Red snapped his fingers and stomped on the ground.

        “Huh, nifty!”

        “He seems like a nice guy.” Red said. “Are you guys going to ditch me now?”

        Kenji looked to Jen for a translation.

        “I don’t think you will want to follow us around.” Jen replied slowly.

        Red smirked and rolled his eyes. “I’ll see you guys later.” He then led his Pokemon and Jen’s Pokemon, who left reluctantly, down the street and out of sight.

        Jen turned towards Kenji and gave him a soft smile. “Red is leaving us alone. What do you want to do while he is gone?”

        Kenji smiled and took her hand. “I thought you might want to see something. Come on.”

        He took her to the southern outskirts of Rota and led her towards a lookout of Kanto. The view was breathtaking. Jen could see almost all of Kanto.

        “I think I can see a part of Pallet Town!” Jen exclaimed. “How did you find this, Kenji?”

        “I like to explore a lot whenever I get bored, and when I happened upon this place, I knew I had to show you.”

        Jen’s smile widened as she scanned the region. She felt like she was on top of the world. “Thank you for showing me this.” She said slowly. Jen glanced over at Kenji to see that he was staring at her with a smile on his face as well. “What?” She asked shyly.

        He cupped his hand under her chin and grinned. “You are so beautiful.”

        Jen’s cheeks turned rosy and she looked down to hide it. “Sorry.”

        Kenji laughed and lifted her head up. “Don’t apologize.” He slowly leaned forward and pressed his lips against hers. Jen smiled as she kissed him back.

        He moved his hand from her chin and wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her closer, and kissing her harder. Jen leaned into him, and kissed him just as hard.

        It was only when she smelled something revolting that she and Kenji were forced to pull away from each other.

        “You can smell that too?” He asked as he plugged his nose.

        Jen nodded, cringing. She was starting to feel sick.

        There had been a few Pokemon near them earlier, but as soon as they smelled the mysterious stench, they fled. Jen tried to look towards the direction where the smell was coming from and nearly fainted.
