Pokemon Pearl - Chapter 29

One Friday morning, at Rico’s school, everyone in his class section was boarding a bus to a summer camp in the countryside. They will spend the weekend there. Almost every parent of every student say goodbye to their precious children. Rico’s parents said goodbye to their son and his Pokémon.

“Be a good kid out there!” Rosario exclaimed in happiness. Her Sylveon then responded in happiness.

“Good luck, Titus!’ Lucas added in happiness. His Magneton then responded in happiness.

“Bye, mommy and daddy!” Rico responded back whilst waving his hand goodbye.

“Ri-o-lu!’ Riolu responded in happy goodbye. Just then, the provincial bus started to move and then, left the school bus stop.

Later on the road to the forest camp, as the other kids chatting to each other and playing with their Pokémon, Rico glanced at the bus window from his window seat in excitement and enthusiasm. Riolu and Litleo joined him in glancing and enthusiasm. One of his classmates, Maneki, a student migrated from the Kalos region, and whom owned a Chespin and a Pidove, then commented in adding, “Yeah right, I’m going to have smores tonight.”

“Wow, and I’ll have roasted potatoes, roasted from the campfire,” Rico replied in excitement and enthusiasm. His two Pokémon then responded in excitement and enthusiasm.

Later, just before lunch, they arrived at their camp, a well-maintained, clean, neat, and well-arranged one, and located in the cool forest of the island. The cabins are separated by gender; there’s a dining hall, an activities center for Pokémon, a big area for bonfires and campfires. Also, there’s a big cabin for the camp staff. And as the children get off and carried their belongings, their teacher, acting as their leader, turned on her megaphone and announced through it in enthusiasm, “Alright, kids, all of you are ȧssigned to your cabins: Cabins for boys and cabins for girls.” In response, they obeyed her, and went to their ȧssigned, respective cabins, carrying their belongings and Pokémon.

Half an hour later, Rico, Maneki, and Raymond arrived at their cabin, B11. Once inside the cabin, they unloaded and unpacked their belongings, and take a little rest by laying down on their beds, except Raymond was on the clean floor.

“Man, that was a long trip,” Maneki commented their trip.

“You could say that again,” Rico replied. Riolu then responded in a mix of plain and exhaustion.

Meanwhile, in the same time, at the forest outside of Kawayan City, Blue Ninja and his Pokémon are training hard and serious. He is revealed to have a Talonflame and Noivern.

Back to the camp, it’s lunch time. Everything was in the dining hall for lunch, along with their Pokémon. Their meals are sandwiches, roasted and mashed potatoes, freshly steamed rice, broccoli, carrots, and brownies. Their Pokémon, however, are eating their special food. And as they eat, one student, who had hatred against another student, threw a lump of mashed potatoes to him and laughed in funny. Clearing the potatoes from his face, that student, with a classical, black hair, was enraged by it, and threw a lump of whipped cream to him back. But that student dodged it, hitting Raymond instead. That student who threw it then gasped what he had done. Wiping the cream off his face, Raymond was enraged, throwing some roasted potatoes towards him. Then, half of everyone present got into a complex food fight, hitting and throwing each other. Its throwing lines are multi-targets and complex, like connecting lines to multiple dots. Rico and Maneki, however, got down under the table along with their Pokémon to avoid being hit. The hall was covered with food and splattered drinks. Their leader and the camp staff then managed to quell the fight, and punished the kids who staged and responsible for the fight. Their punishment is cleaning up the dining hall, a common punishment for having a fight. And as the other kids left, Rico and Maneki stayed to help them clean up faster, along with their Pokémon. On response to this cooperation, the other kids were amazed, with one commenting, “What? Are you helping us?”

“Yup,” Maneki brightly replied. His Chespin then responded in happiness.

“Yeah, that’s what we do every time we see someone doing as a punishment,” Rico brightly and softly added as he mopped the floor.

“Riolu!” Riolu happily responded. In response, they smiled in pity-happiness. And so, they cleaned the hall together.
