[IC] Pokemon: A New Generation

[ShadowVentus]

"Good point...just how skilled are you in terms of hand-to-hand combat?" Neku asks, interested in what James knows.

[booksmusicanime]

"Pretty good. I didn't leave home without any skills if that's what you're asking." James snapped sending a short glare at him.

[ShadowVentus]

"I was just asking..with some people, their bark is worse than their bite." Neku says as he continues to walk, hands in his pockets.

[booksmusicanime]

"Yea well bite is worse then my bark." James said glaring at him again.

[ShadowVentus]

"Look, I'm sorry if I offended you. You certainly seem capable of carrying your own weight." Neku says, looking at her from the corner of his eye.

[booksmusicanime]

James snorted. "I have to prove myself as being strong since my dad abandoned my mom and I and then my mom died before I got my Vulpix."

[ShadowVentus]

"I see...sounds like you were dealt a bad hand." Neku responds.

[booksmusicanime]

James nodded. "That's why I don't want to go home. I left and I forgot who I was from then. I left behind my old name and self."

[ShadowVentus]

"Well, I'd like to think of it this way....you can't just run from who you really are...the memories will always remain...you can at least remember that, James..." Neku says, waiting for any sort of lashing out from her to commence.

[booksmusicanime]

"I'll try to do my best to forget. I don't want to remember and I won't be who I was before." James said

[ShadowVentus]

"Suit yourself..." Neku says.

[booksmusicanime]

James' hands clenched into fist.

[ShadowVentus]

"We can save the fighting for later. Right now, our Priority is finding Soulless..but I suppose if it can't wait, then go ahead and hit me." Neku says, mentally preparing in case James decides to take him up on that offer.

[booksmusicanime]

James rolled her eyes and just started flat out sprinting. She was used to running like this so she could run like this for almost ten minutes straight.

[ShadowVentus]

Neku sprinted after James, barely keeping up with her as they ran towards the cave entrance.

[booksmusicanime]

James skidded to a halt in front of the cave mouth. She was breathing a little heavy

[ShadowVentus]

Neku seemed to have barely broken a sweat from all of the running as he stopped beside her. "You alright?" He asks James, panting slightly as he speaks.

[booksmusicanime]

James nodded and she looked at the cave mouth
