The new group that Ant had joined were slowly making there way outside one by one, getting ready to move on towards  Viridian Forest. [color=f49ac2]"Anthony Blackledge, could you please come to the reception desk. Your Pidgey is fully healed."[/color] A voice said echoed around the room.

Ant looked up towards the speakers slightly scared for a split second thinking he was in trouble when he heard his name. [color=00a651]"Okay guys I'll meet you outside. Come on pal."[/color] He looked down at his Growlithe and smiled. When they got downstairs he walked over slowly to the reception, looking at the nurse on the desk who he thought was really cute. [color=00a651]"Urm hi, I'm here for my Pidgey."[/color] 

[color=f49ac2]"Name?"[/color] She asked with a smile.

[color=00a651]"Well I've not really come up with a name for her but something along the lines of fighter... She decided to attack me whilst I was sleeping."[/color] Ant let out a little laugh, confused as to why he told her that.

She laughed in reply and politely said, [color=f49ac2]"No, I need to know your name so I know which Pidgey is yours."[/color]

Ant went red looking straight at her. [color=00a651]"Ant Blackledge."[/color] He said quickly and quietly. When she walked off Ant clinched his eyes shut hoping that he was actually in a dream. [color=00a651]"Obviously she was talking about your name, you fool."[/color] He whispered to himself.

A second later the nurse walked back with a Pokeball. [color=f49ac2]"She's back to full health and she'll be fighting you in no time."[/color] The nurse giggled at him. [color=f49ac2]"We hope to see you again."[/color]

[color=00a651]"Thanks... I'm pretty sure I'll be back sometime."[/color] Ant replied forcing a smile to the nurse but as soon as he turned away the smile completely vanished from his face. He only wished he could get sucked up into a Pokeball and disappear.  

As Ant walked outside he let out a massive sigh and went and sat down on a bench. The rest of the group were a little ahead of him outside a coffee shop getting some drinks. Ant didn't really like coffee so he wasn't too bothered about getting anything. It took a moment for Ant to realise that the Pokeball with his Pidgey in it was in his hand and Ant decided to let her out. The Pokemon flew out of the Pokeball and she landed on Ants leg. The Pidgey looked up at Ant and just stared at him. The two just stared at each other not breaking eye contact as Growlithe just sat on the bench watching the stare down. From the looks of things, the Pidgey was never going to back down, all she did was narrow her eyes as she carried on looking at Ant. [color=00a651]"Hmmmm so what am I going to call you."[/color] Ant thought out loud. [color=00a651]"I think I'm going to call you Scrappy." The Pidgey let out a quick squawk which seemed to be an approval of the name. Ant smiled and scratched her head and the Pidgey looked slightly annoyed from the show of affection. [color=00a651]"Well I'm glad you're happy with it."[/color] Ant said happily, chuckling to himself at the annoyed look on Scrappies face. [color=00a651]"Well I think it's time to get a move on. You'll have to go back into your Pokeball for now, but I'll bring you out in a bit when we get to the forest so you can have a fly and hopefully I'll  be able to catch some grass and water Pokemon. See you soon."[/color] A second later Scrappy was back in her Pokeball and Ant jumped up to meet up with the rest of the group. [color=00a651]"Are you ready pal?"[/color] He asked his Growlithe.

Growlithe stood up on the Bench and enthusiastically barked, [color=ed1c24]"Growlithe, Growlithe!"[/color] Then the Pokemon jumped off the bench and started walking down the road at the side of Ant.

A few moments later Ant had caught up with everyone and simply said, [color=00a651]"Are you lot ready then?"[/color]
