pulled here

Tala jetted past Ashley before she could wave. she turned to her eevee "extreme racing as usual!" eevee giggled

Tala was riding on Stripes's back as she ran alone side Tasha.

"Hi!" tasha said to the person she just saw. Freddie sped up because he wanted to win the race. "ok Freddie just be careful of where your going."

"We're NOT racing you! You were off before I could tell you how to stop without crashing!" Tala called.

"hi!" ashley shouted back to the girl

"Freddie slow down please"Freddie starts slowing down. "thank you Freddie." freddie nods. " can you tell us how to stop without crashing?"

"You get your pokemonto slow down a bit. There's a break at the back of the skateboard you need to put one foot down on it with all your weight making the board vertical, that's the easy part! The thing is you have to do it at the exact same time as when your pokemon stops, it's hard to do the first time so me and Stripes will go ahead and be ready to catch you invade!" Tala explained, Stripes ran ahead of Freddie and got ready to turn so he was sideways to cushion Tasha if she went flying.

Tasha hits the break and Freddie stops a little late making him fly backward into her arms."Oof!" tasha said catching freddie. "ooah! oaaaee eea?(sorry! you ok?)" freddie said worredly. "yeah freddie im alright." tasha laughed putting him down gently.

Tala rode over to them with a smile. "Uts usually the trainer that falls or flys! You were great but it's hard to stop perfectly the first time, you will be surprised at the amour of trees I flew into before perfecting it! You just need to be more in sync, so be patient and you can learn." she told them Stripes nodded in agreement in decaying for Freddie to pay attention too.

"Yeah..." tasha looked at the burn mark on her right hand. " ok i really Dont feel much in that hand." luna splashed stripes accidentally. "ottt... ttta!(oops...sorry!)"

Stripes smiled gently at the smaller Pokemon. "Arc Arcanine nine nine arc! ( That's alright, unlike most fire types I like the water as much as Jett or you!)" Stripes reassured. Tala was happy as her pokemon team wee making new friends so quickly, even Instinct who had taken a shine to Tasha's pikachu.

A wild swanna flys over to the lake . "oh wow! here in my pokedex it says,'swanna start to dance at dusk. The one dancing in the middle is the leader of the flock.' cool!" freddie cools off in the calm water. "ooa!(ah)"

Ty went into the lake floating at the top very relaxed. Tala asked Stripes if he wanted to go swim but he refused to leave her side. Tala then turned to Tasha and the equiptment. "Are you interested in continueing to train in extreme Pokemon racing?" she asked.

"Sure if freddies up for it after his swim." tasha smiled at talas arcanine. "youre protective of your friends arent you?"

Stripe gave a brief nod "Mainly me and the family well our team is our family! Sonething happened a while back and ever since when I have him with me he doesn't leave my side! Anyways, you keep the leash collar and board, I've got more!" Tala said. Stripes nudged Tala gently As she climbed down off his back.

"Freddie and Pal are sometimes a little overprotective. freddie would break his neck trying to keep me safe. they know i would do the same if they needed me." freddie splashes tasha. "aaa aaa aaa(ha ha ha)" freddie laughed. " thanks a lot Freddie now i cant open my eyes or else they'll hurt from the water." tasha said with her eyes tightly closed. " can i get a paper towel or napkin or something please?"

Tala handed Tasha a towel from her bag, Stripes decided that he wanted to have some fun. He walked over to lake then he cannon ball dived into the lake causing a huge splash soaking the girls. "STRIPES!!" Tala laughed "Oh my, I only brought one towel! I hope one of the Pokemon know Gust or we'll be drenched when we get back!" Tala laughed again.

"Freddie... please come here and dry Tala off." Freddie stands in front of tala the heat from him drying her off quickly. tasha shakes off the eccess water and wrings out her hair as it curls up into tight curls like shirley temples hair. " ok thank you freddie you can go back to swimming now." tasha said running farther back with tala so we wont be splashed again.

"Thank you Freddie! Usually I pack an extra towel but I forgot today, typical the day you fogey something is the day you need it! It's good to see them, having fun and being casual, y'know not concentrated in battle or competitions or contests. Just them being them...free..." Tala said blissfully looking upto the sky. She missed her days back at Merri's ranch running about with the Pokemon playing games and having fun without a care in the world. Years began to form in her eyes as she thought of home.

Tasha starts to think of home and her best friend jacob how he seriously wanted to become the 'best pokemon trainer ever'. "yeah my pokemon and i really miss home too."

Tala took a deep breath drying her eyes "I came here to get as far away from my brother and father as I could but now...I miss them, even after the aguement we had I'd forgive them, if it meant they'd come and visit and know, that I don't hate them, what about you? Did you come here to get away from something?" Tala asked as she noticed her Pokemon watching and listening to them.

"Yes and no i came here to learn how to become a better pokemon trainer. i kept getting beaten by the elite four(specifically bertha), i just cant get win with her in my way. i also wanted to get away from the hectic life that is pokemon trainer/researcher/guinea pig for the pokedex project."

Tala gave a giggle when Stripes got out of the lake and walked over to them. Tala grabbed Tasha by the wrist and pulled her behind some trees as Stripes began to shake himself dry. "Sorry, but we just got dry and wet Arcanine isn't a very nice smell on your clothes!" she said with a giggle.

Tasha giggled and then spooked by a haunter floating behind Tala." ummm Tala look behind you... theres a haunter..."

Gala calmly turned around to the Haunter, pulling a silly face making the Haunter laugh. It then gave the girls a big hug and floated around Tala who happily smiled at it.
