Kevin and Buizel (Second edition)
Chapter 6: Middle pages, A growing friendship.
George returned with a more filled up glass of milk, the Pokémon were once again talking with each other while he was gone, Buizel was crying, and the rest shared his anguish. George didn't think about it, but this might also be affecting his other Pokémon. But to make Buizel snap in such fashion, it meant that there was more to this friendship they had.
"Is everyone ready to continue reading?" George asked the talking Pokémon, they all turned to him but Buizel was sobbing. George didn't think it would be a good idea to continue if Buizel was that sad. George looked around for things in the house, Lucario saw how much Buizel was starting to cry, he looked around inside Kevin's backpack and he pulled out a Buizel plushy that was stored inside.
"What are you doing in Kevin's bag?" George asked from behind Lucario, the Pokémon turned around and presented the Buizel figure. "Oh, do you think this will calm Buizel down?" George asked him as he examined the plushy. It was handmade, and it imitated an almost exact replica of an actual Buizel except the eyes of it were black dots, it was very soft when he squeezed the plush toy, George was sure this might help.
The manager handed the plush to Buizel, when buizel turned around to look at it, he hugged it dearly and sat on the couch. He closed his eyes and cried as he swayed the plush from one side to the other. George scratched his head on the event, he still couldn't picture in his head how much feeling a Pokémon could have despite the journal readings. "Let's move on with this journal already"
George sat the Pokémon and prepared the journal, the pages flipped to the last part he had read.
"Day 265: A staying friend
I asked if I was allowed to be out for the weekend to camp in the woods. My parents told me to camp nearby this time
around as wild Pokémon were close by. I obeyed them and showed them the camp I had.
Today I played a lot with my friend, I actually had a medium sized bouncing ball that I used to play with at home, we had so
much fun together!
Before Buizel left it was getting cold, maybe too cold for him to resist, so I had an idea, I asked if Buizel wanted to sleep
inside my tent and he happily said "Bui", he slept in the entrance of the tent while I was in my sleeping bag. He was chilling
that night a lot. It began to rain as well. I wish I could've done something for him. Maybe another sleep bag for him!
At least now I don't need to go searching for Buizel all day when I wake up tomorrow!"
"I see, that's why he had two sleeping bags now..." George said as he recalled times in where he had gone to visit Kevin at his home. He would usually camp outside with his Pokémon. The second sleeping bag got lost one day however. "Where were we?"
Day 267: Old fears
It's the first time I actually take this journal with me; I really like to write everything that is happening lately.
Buizel woke me up, he was on top of my chest poking my nose, I always wonder at what time he gets up, I hope he
doesn't do that tomorrow, I was having this awesome dream where I was a great musician but also a Pokémon trainer!
I'd fight, but I'm not sure if I'm good for it, I'd rather stick with my own music and enjoy!
Buizel also "dragged" me to the special place we always go at. But this time Buizel jumped to the water, it was such a high place to actually
drop from… I would actually love to join for a swim but I am scared of water.
I went back to the tent near home with Buizel and we stood there a bit trying to communicate. It didn't help very much, I
still couldn't understand him, not that it matters. I have a really good friend with me.
I tried explaining him that I feared being in the water a bit, and then he just went on to hug me. I think he understands.
Day 267
I had to go to school the next day so my camping outside had to stop. My family had quickly come by to meet my Pokémon friend. They were
pretty happy to say hi to Buizel, even my mom brought out her Totodile to play around with.
Totodile got along more with my mom than I did; Totodile was also one of those Pokémon that never abandoned their trainer. Hopefully my
mom one day can tell me about some of her stories with Totodile.
In the meantime, Buizel went back home, I couldn't see him when he left however.
Day 268
I woke up and had gotten ready to go to school, but Buizel had hidden in my backpack! I was very close to taking him to school with me; my
mom had noticed just how much Buizel wanted to be alongside me. She asked me if I wanted to actually be a trainer when I grew up. I always
wanted to play music however. It was definitely something to think about.
Meanwhile, Buizel went back outside, but this time he got to the small pond that was outside. I guess he was waiting for me until I came
back.
Day 374
My parents went out for only one day, they told me that they had something really important that they had to do. I'm not really sure why
both of them had to go out, but I didn't mind.
My parents told me that George was also coming tomorrow to see me; they wanted to organize a cool birthday party for me too. But only
with close friends, and they want me to have Buizel along with me! I'm super excited! Not only my family and George will be around, but also my Pokémon friend!
I asked if I could go pick Buizel tomorrow, my parents agreed and they also wanted to come along with me to get him. They even told me
that he can stay with me, just like my mom's Totodile stays at home!
I'm super excited!"
George stopped reading and remembered, "I know what happens here..." George said as he carefully read the upcoming pages, he knew perfectly well that Adam appears in the upcoming conflict, he was scared mostly because Kevin would never tell him how that actually went on.
"Day 375
I'm currently writing from my bed and I'm taking care of Buizel, there was a big problem today and I was honestly so scared, that I thought I
would never ever see my friend again.
My parents had urged me today to go find Buizel while they went to grab something of their own; I imagined that it was some sort of
surprise. I told them where to look for me within the woods.
I was looking for Buizel when I suddenly heard him scream, I was worried immediately and I ran towards him, then I found him on the floor
hurt, and in front of him was a trainer that was at least a bit older than I was, he was using a strange Pokémon that I couldn't recognize it was
a medium sized red lizard and it had its tail on fire. That isn't really a Pokémon I have seen in this region. I told him to leave my friend alone,
but he didn't want too he said he was going to capture that Buizel for himself. He went far to say that if the Pokémon was mine than he would
dare to battle me, but I was dumb enough to actually tell him I was not a trainer, then he ordered his Pokémon to use "flamethrower" at
Buizel.
I ran towards the attack so that it could hit me instead of him, now that I think about it. It would've been a terrible thing if the fire hit me,
but Buizel threw water at that attack and it was stopped. I had looked at Buizel at how hurt he was, but, he still smiled at me.
The trainer threw pokeballs towards Buizel one after the other, I blocked them away at my best efforts, but I was unable to block one away,
and Buizel ended up captured. Adam, who was the trainer, picked up the pokeball and was about to leave, even despite I told him that he was
my friend, he didn't matter. So a huge fight broke out.
I grabbed the pokeball and attempted to snatch it away from him, Buizel was released also in this struggle and was left on the ground still
hurt; the pokeball was being smashed against a rock as we struggled, and I was trying to get him to release it. I was able to snatch the
pokeball, and I called out for my mom with a very loud scream.
The trainer had ordered his own Pokémon to attack me, as the command was given I heard Buizel screaming in the background, Buizel was
charging this power inside him, it was a yellow and orange one and he was able to shoot it out in a beam, that attack had enough power to
knock out Adam's Pokémon. It was a grand display of power.
My parents arrived with George too right after the attack had happened, I gave them the pokeball and we went to the Pokémon center.
Buizel was healed, but the problem was that Adam still wanted "his" Pokémon, my parents argued with the trainer. They were mad that he
wouldn't reconsider that Buizel was my friend and that he shouldn't ruin something like that and he should know better as a Pokémon trainer,
but mom was especially outraged that Adam would even think on attacking a trainer, I remember some of these words "Attacking another
trainer while using a Pokémon is a vile and criminal act.
Adam had argued that I was attempting to steal his Pokémon from him, in which my father had replied that he was stealing a friend.
My mother had told Adam to reconsider the facts, and that he should be ready one day to forgive me. Way to go mom! But in the end, here I
stand now with Buizel and I'm letting him stay in my room this time, safe from trainers like Adam.
I had learned that my parents had bought me a pokeball to store Buizel in; I can't believe I didn't think of this before. But my mom especially
wanted me to keep my Pokémon by my side at all times. But after this incident, I can't bring myself to store him in Adam's pokeball, it scares
me to even reviving that moment to Buizel.
I played him my song for him earlier, it was the song I was playing for him the whole time and I titled it "True Friend of Mine" The only issue
is that it had no lyrics, I had still to figure out what to sing, Buizel helped me with the song ever so slightly but it made all the difference. I was
able to finally finish a good portion of it.
The tune is basically a chord being played and then 2 simple notes while everything is still ringing, it is a very nice tune honestly and I love
it. Basically everything that has been a chord is mine, and everything that has been single notes, has been Buizel.
Well, tomorrow is my birthday, and I needed some rest. I'm going to let Buizel sleep in a basket my mom gave me for him."
George stopped here and picked up the phone, he was going to call Cedric the doctor again, not only was this chapter very important in Kevin's life, but the source of why the pokeball broke was here. "Hey Ced, sorry for waking you up in the middle of the night."
Cedric responded with a yawn first and then spoke, "I was awake anyway, my Lucario tonight has been completely restless and it has taken a toll on me. What do you need?"
George wondered, "you keep Pokémon out of their pokeballs too?"
"I do actually, I only have my Lucario though, but do tell me why you called."
"I found a very important chapter and we should check this out together, it might help and I need a squarehead like you to help me out."
"Do you know how la- wait what did you just call me?" Cedric asked bothered.
"Sorry, it doesn;t matter, are you coming or not?"
"I'm very tired and it's like what, two in the morning? I have much to do tomorrow."
"If you come I'll, I dunno, give you one of Kevin's music Cds that has his autograph on it." George insisted trying to convince him, the phone hung up quickly with a loud slam on the receiver. "Well, I guess not..."
George had gone back to the couch to read some more, but before he could sit down, the door was knocking. "Who could it be at this time?" George got up once again bothered, when he opened the door Cedric came bursting in the manager's home.
Cedric was wearing a Kevin and Buizel shirt as well, this was probably the first time George has seen Cedric with regular clothes, and right beside him was what appeared to be his Lucario. "Okay I'm here! Where is my Kevin merch?" George didn't really realize how much of a fan Cedric was, until this very moment.
"Ced, isn't your house like four blocks from here? How did you get here so fast?" George asked Cedric as he sat down the table, his Lucario following Cedric. "Doesn't matter, yeah I'll give you a CD of Kevin's music, but can we talk about him first?"
Cedric got comfortable in his seat, his Lucario hugged him from above as he was seated and Lucario displayed a lot of affection towards him, Cedric sighed. "Didn't I tell you she was being restless? And yes, let's talk about Kevin, but I would like a coffee, running all the way here was the worst idea so far." Cedric simply laughed it off, while George went to prepare coffee for the both of them and turned on the machine. George sat in front of Cedric; still seeing how much his Lucario was snuggling and hugging Cedric. "Are Pokémon usually this affectionate?" George asked.
Cedric hugged Lucario back for a bit and told her to talk to the other Pokémon, Lucario kissed his cheek and went along. Cedric rubbed that off of his cheek. "If you mean THAT affectionate, not at all, Lucarios are usually calm and reserved, mine however is affectionate and energetic." Cedric saw his Pokémon walk towards Kevin's Buizel and talk. "If you told me that you saw my Lucario meditating or asleep I would not believe it." Cedric yawned again and rubbed his tired eyes out.
George grabbed the journal and recited the chapter he had just read to Cedric, it was hard for the doctor, but he payed close attention to every detail, after George finished reading the chapter, Cedric had much to say.
While Cedric was talking, George was getting the coffee ready. "It's interesting to know that Buizel learned hyperbeam that way, it’s a very cool thing. Although when he mentions how smashed the pokeball became," Cedric collected his thoughts for a bit, "impossible, that would mean that in all this time Kevin never stored Buizel inside a pokeball." Cedric thought as he was served the coffee, he received the cup and thanked George.
"What if he never really stored Buizel in the pokeball.”?
"That would make sense, because if a pokeball is smashed as described in the journal, it’s definitely going to break at some point. The real question is why would he store his Pokémon now, and think about this well, because only Buizel was stored. His other two Pokémon as I've been told did not get put back inside their pokeballs."
What Cedric said made George wonder, but then again when it came to Pokémon, he was a total stranger. George wanted to talk about his own version of what he saw that day to Cedric. "In the day of the incident, I remember very well, I heard the trainer commanding a flamethrower attack to that Charmalin." Cedric's eyes widened in curiosity as he heard that name.
"Excuse me, what?!" Cedric asked in disbelief.
"You know... Charmalin, the red fire-type lizard Pokémon... I think it evolves to Flamezard."
"Charmeleon! And it evolves to Charizard!" Cedric corrected him, every Pokémon in the room noticed, Cedric's Lucario came running to him as soon as Cedric screamed and gave him a hug. "I'm fine Kyla." Lucario went back to talk to the Pokémon, but not before kissing his cheek again. "Kyla!" The doctor rubbed that one off as well, "you really have scarce Pokémon knowledge, don't you?"
"I spent my life studying most of the time, but at least I like Chikorita."
"Chikorita is a cool grass type!"
"Cool, I was not wrong on that one! Let's not lose track though, the day of the incident was a very stressful day, that trainer Adam even insisted that Charmalon should've attacked the trainer, that Pokémon had not want to however, I thought before that the Pokémon just didn't want to fight another, but now that I know," George thought on his friend, Kevin once again, "there is no telling what would've happened if the Pokémon did attack Kevin."
"It really is concerning, I just don't know why anyone would attack a trainer." Cedric said as he thought about the situation.
"In the Pokémon centre, Adam was furious that he didn't own that Pokémon that he rightfully caught, needless to say, his actions were insensitive. Kevin's father told the trainer that he would tell of what he almost did to Kevin with his own Pokémon, which would make him lose his possibility to be a trainer in the future. Kevin's mother however insisted that he has to learn more about Pokémon, so she gave him a book she wrote about anger management."
"Interesting, I wonder why he had anger issues though."
"I received a letter and a pokeball one day from Adam; apparently he did change later on because he wanted Kevin to train his Pikachu. That was about two years after this whole incident, it was around the same time Kevin acquired an actual trainer's badge. Little do people know that Kevin actually had a team of five Pokémon, the ones he owns now, Karen's Totodile and a Vivillion he owned but gave to his father to keep him company, he had always wanted one and he even mentioned it indirectly to Karen when they visited Kalos."
As the both of them kept talking, Kyla had approached Cedric one more time, but this time she was preoccupied, she kept pointing at Buizel while talking quickly. Cedric had wished that instead of this sort of reaction she would just hug him.
"Yes Kyla, Buizel lost his trainer." As Cedric said this, the Lucario shook her head and pointed at Buizel once again. "Is he sad? its fine, we will find Kevin soon enough, we just need to stay calm." Kyla then gave up and went back to talk to the Pokémon.
George stared at Cedric's Lucario until it talked with the other Pokémon again. "What was that all about?"
"I don't know, she doesn't usually react like this, she only hugs and snuggles me whenever nearby." The doctor looked at Buizel. "What is so important about Buizel right now that is making every Pokémon depressed?"
"What are you talking about?"
"Look around, they are all concerned while Buizel is sad."
"Well obviously!"
"No, not obviously! Because all of Kevin's Pokémon would be sad, why is it that only Buizel is sad then?"
"Buizel and Kevin were very good friends."
"Despite that, the other Pokémon don't seem sad at all." Cedric then talked back to George. "Well, there is more story to tell, go ahead and recite more of the tale. I personally wanna hear the rest after what you told me of that incident, maybe I can know why Buizel is so sad and the rest isn't." What Cedric was saying actually did make sense, Lucario and Pikachu both have reasons to be completely sad, but aren't. Despite this, George preferred to continue reading, maybe the reason was there.
"Day 1: My birthday (I will put day one every time it is my birthday.)
I woke up, and Buizel had a berry for me, a red one, and a pretty sweet one as well. I told him that he didn't have to give anything for my
birthday, him being alright was all I needed. I was a bit mad that I wasn't able to talk to him, but it was ok, we still had fun together.
On my birthday my father asked me to play that song I had played for Buizel, everyone loved it! Me and Buizel shared an incredible birthday
too, my mother made me some very impressive gifts including that pokeball, even if I couldn't use it maybe I can find another Pokémon one
day.
My mother had bought a Buizel plush toy she had found. She gave it to me as a birthday present. Although she had also had asked someone
to make a custom plush of ME and she gave it to Buizel, I told her that it was a bit creepy, but she told me that Buizel might also think that me
having a plush of him would also be creepy, that actually made a lot of sense.
George bought me a new acoustic guitar that sounded simply beautiful, it was easy to tune and to grip, and my father then gave me his gift.
Another trip to Kalos! But this time I could take my Buizel!
I was lucky because I was 16 today and I could have Pokémon, but first we had to make sure I was able to have a trainer licence to take
Buizel with me. This is going to be super cool!
My mother finally gave me as a present a book on how to get along with water Pokémon, a book she wrote herself! Of
course she showed me a peculiar collar she had bought, it had an everstone attached to it. Everstones worked so that
pokemon could not evolve, but my mother had said "Never change my Kevin, never change who you really are" This was
why she had given me the everstone, it was a very good gift.
Day 2: Showing my friend around the house.
I showed Buizel so a lot of stuff around the house! I showed him the refrigerator, he didn't understand what that meant
at first but then I opened it to show him, he saw all the food and he even snatched a couple of berries from inside.
I showed him the TV, and how it worked. I actually doubt he will be able to change a channel.
My parents have asked what kind of abilities my Buizel has, I told them that I wasn't very sure, my mother
recommended me to train my Buizel from time to time. I will definitely try tomorrow to see what he can do.
Day 3: Let's train!
I asked Buizel if he wanted to train, Buizel was a bit confused at first but then I explained him about how it was important
for him to be strong. He agreed with me in the end.
I checked the Pokémon book to see which attacks did he/could he know.
There was water gun, they should know it and he actually does. It was the attack he used to save me from Charmeleon's
fire.
Another attack he should know was Aqua Jet, it was sort of, a torpedo type attack in where the Pokémon made water
appear around his body and kinda used it to swim in the air.
I asked Buizel if he could do that, he stopped and thought about it for awhile and then he nodded. The Aqua jet he
performed was very swift, and the sound it made was also very cool.
I asked him if he knew an attack called sonic boom and Buizel simply looked at me with confusion.
He only knows those two moves I suppose, but we are going to practice so that he could get stronger first.
Now that I think about it, it's three moves, but that last one was very powerful.
Dad let me go outside with Buizel "But remember to practice guitar playing my son" He said before I left outside.
We practiced a lot with all the targets I placed around outside, he was able to hit them all and break some of them. Let's
say my dad won't be happy that I tore open his cereal boxes. His aim seemed to be pretty good.
Day 7:
Wanted to rest more than training, I wanted to play with Buizel a bit too. Training too often can get bothersome.
I asked Dad if I could buy a drum set. He said that he had a good drum set in the basement. I wanted a drum set for Buizel so that he could
play too!
We went outside with the drum set and I gave the drum sticks to Buizel, I showed him how they worked and then he began playing quickly.
He really enjoyed it, he almost destroyed the drums. I told him to be easy on them, that he had to follow a certain rhythm. Of course, he was
following a simple rhythm but he got it right almost instantly.
I played "True friend of mine" with Buizel."
Day 15: A new friend.
While I was in Kalos playing outside I noticed a bunch of Pokémon gather around me, I didn't recognize these Pokémon and I didn’t have
time to check with the pokedex. I thought they had wanted to listen to my music but they were attacking me instead! Buizel and I were able to
do alright, but Riolu came running towards us, luckily he was on our side and helped deal with the rest of the wild Pokémon.
Riolu wanted me to play more music for him, I played for hours. Buizel and our new friend spoke for a long while playing. In the end, Riolu
wanted to go along with me. I wasn't sure why but he really cared for me. I asked him if he wanted to be my Pokémon, he nodded and then I
put the pokeball on the ground, he willingly let himself get caught.
A new friend with me now! Maybe I can train Riolu too, he proved to be a grand fighter when saving us."
George skimmed through the majority of the pages, "Geez, many of these are just about training, more music, and more trips to Kalos. I need to find something more relevant to what is happening with his Buizel now. Not to mention that there is absolutely nothing I can mock Kevin with later." George said as he skimmed many of the days ahead.
Cedric stared at George, "excuse me what, mock Kevin?"
"It’s kinda my way to tell him I'm his friend ya know?" George read ahead and he even passed around one year ahead. "Wow, here is something interesting, music wise that is. I quote, "I had come to realize why I hadn't written any lyrics for my first song, I can't talk to my Pokémon because I can't understand him, if he can't talk, I want to not sing. It's strange, but I need to feel his struggle, I feel like he really wished he could talk to me. But it's still fine, we are friends and that can never be stopped by something as small as not being able to talk with each other." So that's why none of Kevin's songs have lyrics in them, he wanted to feel how his friend did, just expressing himself through emotion."
Cedric was certainly impressed, "That's deep, I wonder what kind of lyrics he would've made up if he did."
"Here is more though, Kevin's mother, Karen is visited by many important people from Kalos when they are visiting Sunnyshore. Kevin had Pokémon battles with some of them. He has obtained 2 badges thus far!"
"So Kevin had two badges? But I thought he wasn't a trainer."
"He was before, but it says here that they were given to him because the gym leaders saw something special in Kevin's way of fighting these battles." George continued to skim through pages until he reached that peculiar day where he had the gym leader battle he saw, although yet again from a visiting gym leader. George realized how poetic and personal the journal was starting to become as he advanced through the years. He was now eighteen after all.
"Day 22: Peculiar gifts
Today I was greeted with news of yet another visiting gym leader from the distant Kalos region, my Buizel and I were ready for this match
up. No matter who this leader was, we would certainly be victorious.
My Riolu, Buizel and Vivillion were ready for anything that stood in front of us!
My Pokémon battles was against a gym leader that ran by the name "Ramos" An old gym leader by the looks of it as well, the battle went
smoothly but it certainly was a challenge. Grass type Pokémon always had difficult attack patterns when you want to dodge a move. And Riolu's
specialty was to stand still and then find an opening for him to move, it’s his signature strategy basically, it didn't work however. Buizel being
my last Pokémon I warned him about the difficult
patterns, I was keeping track of how the rhythm of them went down, so I knew exactly when dodging and evading was a good idea.
After the battle was over, Ramos told me that I had a peculiar strategy that he thought was interesting. I was worthy enough to earn the
Plant Badge, but of course like the rest of them, I must pick them up next time I'm around in the Kalos region as he was not allowed to give
badges outside of his gym.
After the match was over George showed me a pokeball that apparently Adam was giving to me. I didn't really know why but I didn't want to
ask him at all if he was around.
Inside of the pokeball there was a Pikachu, but he had cut marks around him, this must've been done by Adam and he was probably giving
him to me because he thought it was weak. Didn't matter, I'm going to train this Pikachu well to grow strong and I'll make sure he has a good
friend to be with as well."
George remembered this day as well. "That Pikachu had some nasty cuts, I mean just look at the cuts he has." As soon as George was pointing towards the couch Pikachu was sat on, he noticed that no Pokémon was sitting there and Kevin's stuff was also gone. Only Cedric's Lucario was there. George immediately began to panic. "Where are they?!" George ran to all of his rooms.
Cedric approached his Lucario, "is this what you wanted to tell me? But why are they gone?!" Cedric was also worried, but Kyla was trying to calm him down with her hugs and also kisses. "This is definitely not the time to get this silly Kyla, Kevin’s Pokémon must be around the house somewhere and we have to look for them." George interrupted as he returned from the last place.
"That won't be possible, the window is open." And the worst, was what he assumed that happened. "I think Kevin's Pokémon escaped!"
To be continued…

What a long chapter!
This is the most edited chapter I've written out so far. So much of the story changes here. Mostly because Cedric and George are trying to find out about why Kevin has gone missing, but with the turnabout that the rest of the Pokémon go missing too!
It is spoken alot on how Kevin also travels to Kalos region and he even has a Vivillion.
Chapter 6: Middle pages, A growing friendship.
George returned with a more filled up glass of milk, the Pokémon were once again talking with each other while he was gone, Buizel was crying, and the rest shared his anguish. George didn't think about it, but this might also be affecting his other Pokémon. But to make Buizel snap in such fashion, it meant that there was more to this friendship they had.
"Is everyone ready to continue reading?" George asked the talking Pokémon, they all turned to him but Buizel was sobbing. George didn't think it would be a good idea to continue if Buizel was that sad. George looked around for things in the house, Lucario saw how much Buizel was starting to cry, he looked around inside Kevin's backpack and he pulled out a Buizel plushy that was stored inside.
"What are you doing in Kevin's bag?" George asked from behind Lucario, the Pokémon turned around and presented the Buizel figure. "Oh, do you think this will calm Buizel down?" George asked him as he examined the plushy. It was handmade, and it imitated an almost exact replica of an actual Buizel except the eyes of it were black dots, it was very soft when he squeezed the plush toy, George was sure this might help.
The manager handed the plush to Buizel, when buizel turned around to look at it, he hugged it dearly and sat on the couch. He closed his eyes and cried as he swayed the plush from one side to the other. George scratched his head on the event, he still couldn't picture in his head how much feeling a Pokémon could have despite the journal readings. "Let's move on with this journal already"
George sat the Pokémon and prepared the journal, the pages flipped to the last part he had read.
"Day 265: A staying friend
I asked if I was allowed to be out for the weekend to camp in the woods. My parents told me to camp nearby this time
around as wild Pokémon were close by. I obeyed them and showed them the camp I had.
Today I played a lot with my friend, I actually had a medium sized bouncing ball that I used to play with at home, we had so
much fun together!
Before Buizel left it was getting cold, maybe too cold for him to resist, so I had an idea, I asked if Buizel wanted to sleep
inside my tent and he happily said "Bui", he slept in the entrance of the tent while I was in my sleeping bag. He was chilling
that night a lot. It began to rain as well. I wish I could've done something for him. Maybe another sleep bag for him!
At least now I don't need to go searching for Buizel all day when I wake up tomorrow!"
"I see, that's why he had two sleeping bags now..." George said as he recalled times in where he had gone to visit Kevin at his home. He would usually camp outside with his Pokémon. The second sleeping bag got lost one day however. "Where were we?"
Day 267: Old fears
It's the first time I actually take this journal with me; I really like to write everything that is happening lately.
Buizel woke me up, he was on top of my chest poking my nose, I always wonder at what time he gets up, I hope he
doesn't do that tomorrow, I was having this awesome dream where I was a great musician but also a Pokémon trainer!
I'd fight, but I'm not sure if I'm good for it, I'd rather stick with my own music and enjoy!
Buizel also "dragged" me to the special place we always go at. But this time Buizel jumped to the water, it was such a high place to actually
drop from… I would actually love to join for a swim but I am scared of water.
I went back to the tent near home with Buizel and we stood there a bit trying to communicate. It didn't help very much, I
still couldn't understand him, not that it matters. I have a really good friend with me.
I tried explaining him that I feared being in the water a bit, and then he just went on to hug me. I think he understands.
Day 267
I had to go to school the next day so my camping outside had to stop. My family had quickly come by to meet my Pokémon friend. They were
pretty happy to say hi to Buizel, even my mom brought out her Totodile to play around with.
Totodile got along more with my mom than I did; Totodile was also one of those Pokémon that never abandoned their trainer. Hopefully my
mom one day can tell me about some of her stories with Totodile.
In the meantime, Buizel went back home, I couldn't see him when he left however.
Day 268
I woke up and had gotten ready to go to school, but Buizel had hidden in my backpack! I was very close to taking him to school with me; my
mom had noticed just how much Buizel wanted to be alongside me. She asked me if I wanted to actually be a trainer when I grew up. I always
wanted to play music however. It was definitely something to think about.
Meanwhile, Buizel went back outside, but this time he got to the small pond that was outside. I guess he was waiting for me until I came
back.
Day 374
My parents went out for only one day, they told me that they had something really important that they had to do. I'm not really sure why
both of them had to go out, but I didn't mind.
My parents told me that George was also coming tomorrow to see me; they wanted to organize a cool birthday party for me too. But only
with close friends, and they want me to have Buizel along with me! I'm super excited! Not only my family and George will be around, but also my Pokémon friend!
I asked if I could go pick Buizel tomorrow, my parents agreed and they also wanted to come along with me to get him. They even told me
that he can stay with me, just like my mom's Totodile stays at home!
I'm super excited!"
George stopped reading and remembered, "I know what happens here..." George said as he carefully read the upcoming pages, he knew perfectly well that Adam appears in the upcoming conflict, he was scared mostly because Kevin would never tell him how that actually went on.
"Day 375
I'm currently writing from my bed and I'm taking care of Buizel, there was a big problem today and I was honestly so scared, that I thought I
would never ever see my friend again.
My parents had urged me today to go find Buizel while they went to grab something of their own; I imagined that it was some sort of
surprise. I told them where to look for me within the woods.
I was looking for Buizel when I suddenly heard him scream, I was worried immediately and I ran towards him, then I found him on the floor
hurt, and in front of him was a trainer that was at least a bit older than I was, he was using a strange Pokémon that I couldn't recognize it was
a medium sized red lizard and it had its tail on fire. That isn't really a Pokémon I have seen in this region. I told him to leave my friend alone,
but he didn't want too he said he was going to capture that Buizel for himself. He went far to say that if the Pokémon was mine than he would
dare to battle me, but I was dumb enough to actually tell him I was not a trainer, then he ordered his Pokémon to use "flamethrower" at
Buizel.
I ran towards the attack so that it could hit me instead of him, now that I think about it. It would've been a terrible thing if the fire hit me,
but Buizel threw water at that attack and it was stopped. I had looked at Buizel at how hurt he was, but, he still smiled at me.
The trainer threw pokeballs towards Buizel one after the other, I blocked them away at my best efforts, but I was unable to block one away,
and Buizel ended up captured. Adam, who was the trainer, picked up the pokeball and was about to leave, even despite I told him that he was
my friend, he didn't matter. So a huge fight broke out.
I grabbed the pokeball and attempted to snatch it away from him, Buizel was released also in this struggle and was left on the ground still
hurt; the pokeball was being smashed against a rock as we struggled, and I was trying to get him to release it. I was able to snatch the
pokeball, and I called out for my mom with a very loud scream.
The trainer had ordered his own Pokémon to attack me, as the command was given I heard Buizel screaming in the background, Buizel was
charging this power inside him, it was a yellow and orange one and he was able to shoot it out in a beam, that attack had enough power to
knock out Adam's Pokémon. It was a grand display of power.
My parents arrived with George too right after the attack had happened, I gave them the pokeball and we went to the Pokémon center.
Buizel was healed, but the problem was that Adam still wanted "his" Pokémon, my parents argued with the trainer. They were mad that he
wouldn't reconsider that Buizel was my friend and that he shouldn't ruin something like that and he should know better as a Pokémon trainer,
but mom was especially outraged that Adam would even think on attacking a trainer, I remember some of these words "Attacking another
trainer while using a Pokémon is a vile and criminal act.
Adam had argued that I was attempting to steal his Pokémon from him, in which my father had replied that he was stealing a friend.
My mother had told Adam to reconsider the facts, and that he should be ready one day to forgive me. Way to go mom! But in the end, here I
stand now with Buizel and I'm letting him stay in my room this time, safe from trainers like Adam.
I had learned that my parents had bought me a pokeball to store Buizel in; I can't believe I didn't think of this before. But my mom especially
wanted me to keep my Pokémon by my side at all times. But after this incident, I can't bring myself to store him in Adam's pokeball, it scares
me to even reviving that moment to Buizel.
I played him my song for him earlier, it was the song I was playing for him the whole time and I titled it "True Friend of Mine" The only issue
is that it had no lyrics, I had still to figure out what to sing, Buizel helped me with the song ever so slightly but it made all the difference. I was
able to finally finish a good portion of it.
The tune is basically a chord being played and then 2 simple notes while everything is still ringing, it is a very nice tune honestly and I love
it. Basically everything that has been a chord is mine, and everything that has been single notes, has been Buizel.
Well, tomorrow is my birthday, and I needed some rest. I'm going to let Buizel sleep in a basket my mom gave me for him."
George stopped here and picked up the phone, he was going to call Cedric the doctor again, not only was this chapter very important in Kevin's life, but the source of why the pokeball broke was here. "Hey Ced, sorry for waking you up in the middle of the night."
Cedric responded with a yawn first and then spoke, "I was awake anyway, my Lucario tonight has been completely restless and it has taken a toll on me. What do you need?"
George wondered, "you keep Pokémon out of their pokeballs too?"
"I do actually, I only have my Lucario though, but do tell me why you called."
"I found a very important chapter and we should check this out together, it might help and I need a squarehead like you to help me out."
"Do you know how la- wait what did you just call me?" Cedric asked bothered.
"Sorry, it doesn;t matter, are you coming or not?"
"I'm very tired and it's like what, two in the morning? I have much to do tomorrow."
"If you come I'll, I dunno, give you one of Kevin's music Cds that has his autograph on it." George insisted trying to convince him, the phone hung up quickly with a loud slam on the receiver. "Well, I guess not..."
George had gone back to the couch to read some more, but before he could sit down, the door was knocking. "Who could it be at this time?" George got up once again bothered, when he opened the door Cedric came bursting in the manager's home.
Cedric was wearing a Kevin and Buizel shirt as well, this was probably the first time George has seen Cedric with regular clothes, and right beside him was what appeared to be his Lucario. "Okay I'm here! Where is my Kevin merch?" George didn't really realize how much of a fan Cedric was, until this very moment.
"Ced, isn't your house like four blocks from here? How did you get here so fast?" George asked Cedric as he sat down the table, his Lucario following Cedric. "Doesn't matter, yeah I'll give you a CD of Kevin's music, but can we talk about him first?"
Cedric got comfortable in his seat, his Lucario hugged him from above as he was seated and Lucario displayed a lot of affection towards him, Cedric sighed. "Didn't I tell you she was being restless? And yes, let's talk about Kevin, but I would like a coffee, running all the way here was the worst idea so far." Cedric simply laughed it off, while George went to prepare coffee for the both of them and turned on the machine. George sat in front of Cedric; still seeing how much his Lucario was snuggling and hugging Cedric. "Are Pokémon usually this affectionate?" George asked.
Cedric hugged Lucario back for a bit and told her to talk to the other Pokémon, Lucario kissed his cheek and went along. Cedric rubbed that off of his cheek. "If you mean THAT affectionate, not at all, Lucarios are usually calm and reserved, mine however is affectionate and energetic." Cedric saw his Pokémon walk towards Kevin's Buizel and talk. "If you told me that you saw my Lucario meditating or asleep I would not believe it." Cedric yawned again and rubbed his tired eyes out.
George grabbed the journal and recited the chapter he had just read to Cedric, it was hard for the doctor, but he payed close attention to every detail, after George finished reading the chapter, Cedric had much to say.
While Cedric was talking, George was getting the coffee ready. "It's interesting to know that Buizel learned hyperbeam that way, it’s a very cool thing. Although when he mentions how smashed the pokeball became," Cedric collected his thoughts for a bit, "impossible, that would mean that in all this time Kevin never stored Buizel inside a pokeball." Cedric thought as he was served the coffee, he received the cup and thanked George.
"What if he never really stored Buizel in the pokeball.”?
"That would make sense, because if a pokeball is smashed as described in the journal, it’s definitely going to break at some point. The real question is why would he store his Pokémon now, and think about this well, because only Buizel was stored. His other two Pokémon as I've been told did not get put back inside their pokeballs."
What Cedric said made George wonder, but then again when it came to Pokémon, he was a total stranger. George wanted to talk about his own version of what he saw that day to Cedric. "In the day of the incident, I remember very well, I heard the trainer commanding a flamethrower attack to that Charmalin." Cedric's eyes widened in curiosity as he heard that name.
"Excuse me, what?!" Cedric asked in disbelief.
"You know... Charmalin, the red fire-type lizard Pokémon... I think it evolves to Flamezard."
"Charmeleon! And it evolves to Charizard!" Cedric corrected him, every Pokémon in the room noticed, Cedric's Lucario came running to him as soon as Cedric screamed and gave him a hug. "I'm fine Kyla." Lucario went back to talk to the Pokémon, but not before kissing his cheek again. "Kyla!" The doctor rubbed that one off as well, "you really have scarce Pokémon knowledge, don't you?"
"I spent my life studying most of the time, but at least I like Chikorita."
"Chikorita is a cool grass type!"
"Cool, I was not wrong on that one! Let's not lose track though, the day of the incident was a very stressful day, that trainer Adam even insisted that Charmalon should've attacked the trainer, that Pokémon had not want to however, I thought before that the Pokémon just didn't want to fight another, but now that I know," George thought on his friend, Kevin once again, "there is no telling what would've happened if the Pokémon did attack Kevin."
"It really is concerning, I just don't know why anyone would attack a trainer." Cedric said as he thought about the situation.
"In the Pokémon centre, Adam was furious that he didn't own that Pokémon that he rightfully caught, needless to say, his actions were insensitive. Kevin's father told the trainer that he would tell of what he almost did to Kevin with his own Pokémon, which would make him lose his possibility to be a trainer in the future. Kevin's mother however insisted that he has to learn more about Pokémon, so she gave him a book she wrote about anger management."
"Interesting, I wonder why he had anger issues though."
"I received a letter and a pokeball one day from Adam; apparently he did change later on because he wanted Kevin to train his Pikachu. That was about two years after this whole incident, it was around the same time Kevin acquired an actual trainer's badge. Little do people know that Kevin actually had a team of five Pokémon, the ones he owns now, Karen's Totodile and a Vivillion he owned but gave to his father to keep him company, he had always wanted one and he even mentioned it indirectly to Karen when they visited Kalos."
As the both of them kept talking, Kyla had approached Cedric one more time, but this time she was preoccupied, she kept pointing at Buizel while talking quickly. Cedric had wished that instead of this sort of reaction she would just hug him.
"Yes Kyla, Buizel lost his trainer." As Cedric said this, the Lucario shook her head and pointed at Buizel once again. "Is he sad? its fine, we will find Kevin soon enough, we just need to stay calm." Kyla then gave up and went back to talk to the Pokémon.
George stared at Cedric's Lucario until it talked with the other Pokémon again. "What was that all about?"
"I don't know, she doesn't usually react like this, she only hugs and snuggles me whenever nearby." The doctor looked at Buizel. "What is so important about Buizel right now that is making every Pokémon depressed?"
"What are you talking about?"
"Look around, they are all concerned while Buizel is sad."
"Well obviously!"
"No, not obviously! Because all of Kevin's Pokémon would be sad, why is it that only Buizel is sad then?"
"Buizel and Kevin were very good friends."
"Despite that, the other Pokémon don't seem sad at all." Cedric then talked back to George. "Well, there is more story to tell, go ahead and recite more of the tale. I personally wanna hear the rest after what you told me of that incident, maybe I can know why Buizel is so sad and the rest isn't." What Cedric was saying actually did make sense, Lucario and Pikachu both have reasons to be completely sad, but aren't. Despite this, George preferred to continue reading, maybe the reason was there.
"Day 1: My birthday (I will put day one every time it is my birthday.)
I woke up, and Buizel had a berry for me, a red one, and a pretty sweet one as well. I told him that he didn't have to give anything for my
birthday, him being alright was all I needed. I was a bit mad that I wasn't able to talk to him, but it was ok, we still had fun together.
On my birthday my father asked me to play that song I had played for Buizel, everyone loved it! Me and Buizel shared an incredible birthday
too, my mother made me some very impressive gifts including that pokeball, even if I couldn't use it maybe I can find another Pokémon one
day.
My mother had bought a Buizel plush toy she had found. She gave it to me as a birthday present. Although she had also had asked someone
to make a custom plush of ME and she gave it to Buizel, I told her that it was a bit creepy, but she told me that Buizel might also think that me
having a plush of him would also be creepy, that actually made a lot of sense.
George bought me a new acoustic guitar that sounded simply beautiful, it was easy to tune and to grip, and my father then gave me his gift.
Another trip to Kalos! But this time I could take my Buizel!
I was lucky because I was 16 today and I could have Pokémon, but first we had to make sure I was able to have a trainer licence to take
Buizel with me. This is going to be super cool!
My mother finally gave me as a present a book on how to get along with water Pokémon, a book she wrote herself! Of
course she showed me a peculiar collar she had bought, it had an everstone attached to it. Everstones worked so that
pokemon could not evolve, but my mother had said "Never change my Kevin, never change who you really are" This was
why she had given me the everstone, it was a very good gift.
Day 2: Showing my friend around the house.
I showed Buizel so a lot of stuff around the house! I showed him the refrigerator, he didn't understand what that meant
at first but then I opened it to show him, he saw all the food and he even snatched a couple of berries from inside.
I showed him the TV, and how it worked. I actually doubt he will be able to change a channel.
My parents have asked what kind of abilities my Buizel has, I told them that I wasn't very sure, my mother
recommended me to train my Buizel from time to time. I will definitely try tomorrow to see what he can do.
Day 3: Let's train!
I asked Buizel if he wanted to train, Buizel was a bit confused at first but then I explained him about how it was important
for him to be strong. He agreed with me in the end.
I checked the Pokémon book to see which attacks did he/could he know.
There was water gun, they should know it and he actually does. It was the attack he used to save me from Charmeleon's
fire.
Another attack he should know was Aqua Jet, it was sort of, a torpedo type attack in where the Pokémon made water
appear around his body and kinda used it to swim in the air.
I asked Buizel if he could do that, he stopped and thought about it for awhile and then he nodded. The Aqua jet he
performed was very swift, and the sound it made was also very cool.
I asked him if he knew an attack called sonic boom and Buizel simply looked at me with confusion.
He only knows those two moves I suppose, but we are going to practice so that he could get stronger first.
Now that I think about it, it's three moves, but that last one was very powerful.
Dad let me go outside with Buizel "But remember to practice guitar playing my son" He said before I left outside.
We practiced a lot with all the targets I placed around outside, he was able to hit them all and break some of them. Let's
say my dad won't be happy that I tore open his cereal boxes. His aim seemed to be pretty good.
Day 7:
Wanted to rest more than training, I wanted to play with Buizel a bit too. Training too often can get bothersome.
I asked Dad if I could buy a drum set. He said that he had a good drum set in the basement. I wanted a drum set for Buizel so that he could
play too!
We went outside with the drum set and I gave the drum sticks to Buizel, I showed him how they worked and then he began playing quickly.
He really enjoyed it, he almost destroyed the drums. I told him to be easy on them, that he had to follow a certain rhythm. Of course, he was
following a simple rhythm but he got it right almost instantly.
I played "True friend of mine" with Buizel."
Day 15: A new friend.
While I was in Kalos playing outside I noticed a bunch of Pokémon gather around me, I didn't recognize these Pokémon and I didn’t have
time to check with the pokedex. I thought they had wanted to listen to my music but they were attacking me instead! Buizel and I were able to
do alright, but Riolu came running towards us, luckily he was on our side and helped deal with the rest of the wild Pokémon.
Riolu wanted me to play more music for him, I played for hours. Buizel and our new friend spoke for a long while playing. In the end, Riolu
wanted to go along with me. I wasn't sure why but he really cared for me. I asked him if he wanted to be my Pokémon, he nodded and then I
put the pokeball on the ground, he willingly let himself get caught.
A new friend with me now! Maybe I can train Riolu too, he proved to be a grand fighter when saving us."
George skimmed through the majority of the pages, "Geez, many of these are just about training, more music, and more trips to Kalos. I need to find something more relevant to what is happening with his Buizel now. Not to mention that there is absolutely nothing I can mock Kevin with later." George said as he skimmed many of the days ahead.
Cedric stared at George, "excuse me what, mock Kevin?"
"It’s kinda my way to tell him I'm his friend ya know?" George read ahead and he even passed around one year ahead. "Wow, here is something interesting, music wise that is. I quote, "I had come to realize why I hadn't written any lyrics for my first song, I can't talk to my Pokémon because I can't understand him, if he can't talk, I want to not sing. It's strange, but I need to feel his struggle, I feel like he really wished he could talk to me. But it's still fine, we are friends and that can never be stopped by something as small as not being able to talk with each other." So that's why none of Kevin's songs have lyrics in them, he wanted to feel how his friend did, just expressing himself through emotion."
Cedric was certainly impressed, "That's deep, I wonder what kind of lyrics he would've made up if he did."
"Here is more though, Kevin's mother, Karen is visited by many important people from Kalos when they are visiting Sunnyshore. Kevin had Pokémon battles with some of them. He has obtained 2 badges thus far!"
"So Kevin had two badges? But I thought he wasn't a trainer."
"He was before, but it says here that they were given to him because the gym leaders saw something special in Kevin's way of fighting these battles." George continued to skim through pages until he reached that peculiar day where he had the gym leader battle he saw, although yet again from a visiting gym leader. George realized how poetic and personal the journal was starting to become as he advanced through the years. He was now eighteen after all.
"Day 22: Peculiar gifts
Today I was greeted with news of yet another visiting gym leader from the distant Kalos region, my Buizel and I were ready for this match
up. No matter who this leader was, we would certainly be victorious.
My Riolu, Buizel and Vivillion were ready for anything that stood in front of us!
My Pokémon battles was against a gym leader that ran by the name "Ramos" An old gym leader by the looks of it as well, the battle went
smoothly but it certainly was a challenge. Grass type Pokémon always had difficult attack patterns when you want to dodge a move. And Riolu's
specialty was to stand still and then find an opening for him to move, it’s his signature strategy basically, it didn't work however. Buizel being
my last Pokémon I warned him about the difficult
patterns, I was keeping track of how the rhythm of them went down, so I knew exactly when dodging and evading was a good idea.
After the battle was over, Ramos told me that I had a peculiar strategy that he thought was interesting. I was worthy enough to earn the
Plant Badge, but of course like the rest of them, I must pick them up next time I'm around in the Kalos region as he was not allowed to give
badges outside of his gym.
After the match was over George showed me a pokeball that apparently Adam was giving to me. I didn't really know why but I didn't want to
ask him at all if he was around.
Inside of the pokeball there was a Pikachu, but he had cut marks around him, this must've been done by Adam and he was probably giving
him to me because he thought it was weak. Didn't matter, I'm going to train this Pikachu well to grow strong and I'll make sure he has a good
friend to be with as well."
George remembered this day as well. "That Pikachu had some nasty cuts, I mean just look at the cuts he has." As soon as George was pointing towards the couch Pikachu was sat on, he noticed that no Pokémon was sitting there and Kevin's stuff was also gone. Only Cedric's Lucario was there. George immediately began to panic. "Where are they?!" George ran to all of his rooms.
Cedric approached his Lucario, "is this what you wanted to tell me? But why are they gone?!" Cedric was also worried, but Kyla was trying to calm him down with her hugs and also kisses. "This is definitely not the time to get this silly Kyla, Kevin’s Pokémon must be around the house somewhere and we have to look for them." George interrupted as he returned from the last place.
"That won't be possible, the window is open." And the worst, was what he assumed that happened. "I think Kevin's Pokémon escaped!"
