"Wow, talk about ironic." Kevin itched his head looking at the little boy. Cara bent down to him.
"Joey, what on earth are you doing here?" She said taking a look around, "Oh no, are mom and dad with you too?"
"Uh-uh" Joey shook his head. "When I found out you left, I decided I wanted to go on a pokemon journey too. I followed you all the way from home. Isn't that cool?"
"You've been following me this whole time?" Cara was astounded.
"Well, only since this morning." He explained, "All the other time I got to play with some pokemon. Then this morning i got to this place and found you. I wanted to say hi to you, but then you ran away again, and I lost you in this big crowd of people. But I'm glad I found you now big sister." He gave her a big hug.
"Joey..." Cara couldn't help but smiled. "I'm glad to see you too. But traveling without an adult like that was really dangerous. You know as well as I do that you're not allowed to go on a journey."
"Well neither are you, but you went anyway." Joey whined.
"Woah, what?" Kevin exclaimed. He turned to Cara, "Cara, what is he talking about?"
"Uh..hehheh, nothing." Cara quickly covered Joey's mouth. "Excuse us for a second!"
"Mmmmm-mm" Joey mumbled with his mouth covered up, as Cara carried him to the side. She uncovered his mouth. "Ouch, that hurt!"
"I'm sorry Joey," Cara whispered, "but you have to go back home now!"
"What!??" Joey screamed.
"Shhh, keep your voice down." Cara shushed him, "Listen, if you're here, that means Mom and Dad won't be far behind, and if they find you they'll find me, and I don't want them to find me because if they find me they'll make me come back home, and I can't have that happening."
"So, you mean you don't like me?" Joey whimpered.
"Joey, I love you bro," Cara patted his back, "But this journey means alot to me. So, I'm sending you back home."
"No! You better let me stay!" Joey demanded, crossing arms.
"Or what?" Cara rolled her eyes.
"O-or I'll tell that boy over there that you ran away from home!"
"W-what? You wouldn't!"
"Uh-huh! Let me stay or I'll do it right now!"
"Grr, fine!" Cara pulled out the guide book, flipping through it. She found a page. "Aha! Kevin and I will walk you to Violet City. That's a one week journey, and there's a train there. Once we get there, you get on the train, go home, and you don't tell mom or dad a word about this. Deal?"
"Yay! Deal! We're going on a journey, we're going on a journey!" Joey skipped around singing.
"This is going to be a long two weeks." Cara sighed.

Kevin stood waiting with Squirtle. He was watching the two of them whispering to each other. It seemed a bit weird. "What's going on with those guys Squirtle?"
"Squirtle squirt!" Squirtle shrugged. Suddenly, they saw Joey skipping around happily, and coming towards them. Cara followed. She walked up to Kevin, grabbing Joey's hand.
"Kevin," She half smiled, "I'd like you to officially meet my little brother Joey."
"Hi Joey," Kevin smiled, "My name is Kevin."
"Hi Kevin!" Joey smiled back.
"Joey's going to be traveling with us for a little bit..." Said Cara.
"Oh, really?" Kevin itched his head confused.
"Yep, I sure am!" Joey let go of Cara's hand. "And it's going to be awesome! We'll get to camp out under the stars, play with pokemon, sing songs, and I get to see real pokemon battles because we're going on journey! We're going on a journey, a journey, a journey! We're going on a journey, for ONE WHOLE WEEKK!"
"Squirtle squirtle squirtle!" Squirtle skipped along with Joey, joining in on the song.
"Err..Cara, can I talk to you for a second?" Kevin signaled to her to come closer. Cara walked up to him, letting Squirtle and Joey continue singing. "Cara, you can't just go around recruiting traveling members. This could be dangerous. He's just a little kid."
"Exactly," Cara explained, "a little kid who would never let it down if we didn't let him tag along for a little bit. Look, I promise you, its just going to be for a little while. There's a city ahead that has a train station. Once we get there we'll put him on one, he'll go home and we can keep moving."
"Hmmm," Kevin looked at her suspiciously, "No offense Cara, but you don't seem like the type of girl who gives free candy to little children. Why are you really doing this?"
"You obviously don't know me that well!" Cara scowled, "Look, you and your little Squirtle don't have to follow me and my little brother if you don't want to. We can find our way ourselves."
"No, i'll go with you." Kevin shook his head clear. "I'm sorry Cara."
"Whatever," Cara rolled her eyes, than walked back over to Joey. Kevin followed. Joey ran up to Cara with Squirtle beside him.
"Oohh, Cara, is this your pokemon?" He said excitedly, "It's the coolest one ever! I'm so glad you got a cool pokemon."
"Actuallly," Cara pulled out her poke-ball. "That one's not mine. This one is, Chikorita, I choose you!"
"Chiko!" Chikorita appeared from a flash of light.
"See, this is my pokemon Chikorita." Cara picked Chikorita up. "Isn't it cool?"
"Nahh," Joey waved his hand, "This one's much cooler. Why didn't you pick this one sis?"
"Because there was only one, and the Professor gave it to me." Kevin picked up Squirtle, "This pokemon's name is Squirtle."
"Cool!" Joey stroked his hand on Squirtle's head excitedly, "You really know how to pick good pokemon. Hi Squirtle, I'm Joey!"
"Squirtle!" Squirtle rubbed it's head under Joey's chin happily. Joey giggled.
"Hmph, I don't see what's so great about Squirtle." Cara muttered, "You're just as cool, Chikorita."
"Chiko.." Chikorita's head went down in shame.
"Alright guys," Cara walked up to them, "We've got alot of traveling to do. And if you don't mind, I'd like to actually get somewhere before it gets dark. Let's get moving!"
"Yay!" Joey jumped for joy, "We're going on a journey, a journey, a journey! We're going on a journey for one whole week! For one whole week, for one whole week, for one whole week, for one whole week! We're going on a journey for one whole week! Hooray! Hooray! Hooray!"
Joey led the way down the path singing and skipping, with Squirtle behind him.

"A journey! Hooray! Hooray! Hooray!" An hour had passsed, and Joey was still singing his happy traveling song. Cara was covering her ears, as Kevin thought he would explode if he heard the word "journey" in a melodic tune ever again. Even Squirtle was dragging behind now. Joey was about to start another verse when Cara grabbed, "We're goin-"
"Joey!" Cara quickly interupted him. "Not that that wasn't really nice, if not incredibly long, but why don't we talk about something else for awhile."
"Like what?" Joey asked.
"Like uh...like truth or dare!" She said, "You love that game."
"Oooohh, okay!" Joey said excitedly, "Kevin, you go first!"
"Alright, truth or dare Joey?" Kevin asked.
"Dare!" He said.
"Alright, I dare you to....ha! I dare you to hold your breath for one whole minute(scandalous, i kno)"
"Alright!" Joey took in a deep breath. His mouth puffed up as he held in the air. His face began to turn purple, but soon he let it out with a sigh. "Ha! That was a minute and a half!"
"Wait a go Kevin, trying to kill my brother?" Cara said sarcastically.
"Not my fault that the kid's got guts." Kevin said, "What about you Cara?"
"What about me?"
"Truth or dare?" Joey asked her.
"Ugh, truth I guess." Cara shrugged.
"Okay, is it true that..." Joey thought, "Is it true that you're still afraid of the dark, and have to sleep with the light on. Oh, and you won't go to sleep without your teddy bear 'Mr. Cubby Chubs?'
"JOEY!" Cara exclaimed. She couldn't believe Joey just said that out loud in front of Kevin.
"Hahahaha!" Kevin laughed, "Well, is it true Cara. If you lie you're going to have to do an even worse dare."
"Yes," She said nervously, "I mean no, i mean, ARGH! We're not playing this game anymore. It's stupid anyway."
"But Kevin never got a dare or truth!" Joey whined.
"I said enough!" Cara finally demanded. Everyone got quiet, and began walking down the road silently. Joey softly hummed his song to himself. He then broke the silence with a question.
"So, Kevin, are you going to be a pokemon trainer?" He asked.
"Not sure," Kevin thought. He looked down at Squirtle, "First I just want to get to know my Squirtle a bit more. Then I'll decide."
"Cool!" He smiled, "So Cara, is Kevin your boyfriend?"
"WHATTTT!?" Both Cara and Kevin screamed in shock.
"Come on, you can tell me. I won't tell anyone, I promise!" He pleaded.
"Joey, shut up!" Cara said angrily.
"Oh, Kevin I got your dare now!" He said, "I dare you to kiss Cara!"
"THHAAAATTTSSS ITT!!!" Cara screamed enraged. "Joey, if I hear another word coming from that little annoying mouth of yours, your not going to be around long enough to see what happens afterwards." Joey backed up in fear. He tried to get a word out, but she just kept screaming. "You've barely been here an hour and you've managed to embarass me beyond belief. You're not being funny, you're being a pest!"
"Grr," Joey's eyes filled up with water. He was getting angry. He turned to Kevin "GUESS WHAT KEVIN? CARA'S NOT ALOWWED TO BE ON A POKEMON JOURNEY, AND SHE RAN AWAY FROM HOME WITHOUT TELLING ANYBODY! IN FACT, THE ONLY REASON SHE'S LETTING ME COME WITH YOU GUYS IS BECAUSE SHE DOESN'T WANT YOU TO KNOW!"
"W-what?" Kevin turned to Cara.
"Joey!" Cara gasped. "J-JUST TURN AROUND AND GO HOME NOW JOEY! I HATE YOU!"
"Cara, you don't mean that!" Kevin tried to sympathize.
"Please, just leave me alone Kevin." She turned around and ran away in sobs.
"Fine!" Joey screamed at her. "I hate you more!" He folded, his arms and sat down stubbornly. What was Kevin going to do?

Kevin sat thinking what to do next. Cara was over sitting on a rock, while Joey was sitting cross armed and cross legged on the ground. It had only been one day and it already felt like he'd been through everything possible. "Squirtle, what should we do? It's getting late, and I can't just abandoned them. I know, I'll go talk to Cara, while you go cheer Joey up."
"Squirtle!" Squirtle gave Kevin thumbs up. The two parted ways as Squirtle waddled over to Joey. It tapped him on his shoulder. "Squirtle squirt!"
"Huh?" Joey looked up to see the blue pokemon. "Oh, hi Squirtle."
"Squirt!" It waved smiling.
"Squirtle, why is Cara so mad at me?" He sighed, "I was only trying to have fun. I know she didn't want me around so I was trying to act cool, but I guess I just ended up making a mess out of things."
"Squirtle!" Squirtle patted him on his back. It then got in front of it's face, and made it's eyes crossed. This made Joey smiled.
"Hahaha," He laughed, "You're funny Squirtle."
Meanwhile, Kevin walked over to Cara who was sitting on a big rock, watching the sunset. She was so deep in thought that she barely even heard Kevin walk up to her. "Hey Cara," Kevin said, "How are you doing?"
"Like I just want this nightmare to be over." She grumbled.
"Cara," Kevin continued, "What's going on here? I know this isn't exactly the most comfortable situation for you, but come on. You ran away from home?"
"I know," She sighed, "It was stupid and idiotic, and every bit as dangerous as what Joey did. But, you've seen the way my parents act. If I had brought up the whole "journey" topic they'd probably lock me in the attic. When I heard about Professor Elm coming back to New Bark town, i don't know...It was like this energy went through me that just wouldn't let me stay home. Once I went to his lab, things just kind of spun out of control. Next thing I know I'm sitting an entirely new city with a bag packed and a pokemon in my lap."
"Okay, well why couldn't you tell me about it." Kevin asked.
"Kevin, come on," Cara rolled her eyes again, "you're not stupid. You know me. Sometimes my ego gets the better of me. I thought if I told you, you'd start thinking down on me. I mean come on, your mom allowed you to go by yourself. I had to run away from home. Kind of pathetic right?"
"Cara, I would never think of you like that. I couldn't. I mean, you're just such a cool girl. It's like you never have any worries, and you never let other people intimidate you. You're funny, and smart, a little arrogant, but that's besides the point."
"Shut up," Cara teased.
"Haha," Kevin laughed. "And earlier today, when I was so scared, you stood by me the whole time. I could never ask for a better friend than that."
"Woah, friends?" Cara teased more, "Let's not get ahead of ourselves here."
"Sorry, I'll be sure to take the tempo down." Kevin rolled his eyes. "Seriously Cara, I think you need to forgive your brother. He's just a little kid, and he only wants the same thing as you do. And thats to travel."
"Ugh, you're never going to let this down are you?"
"You can pretty much count on that."
"Fine, whatever. But you have to stay here." Cara got off of her rock and began to walk over to Joey. He was still playing with Squirtle and laughing. When he saw his sister his smile turned into a frown. "Don't worry I'm not going to bite...yet.."
"What do you want?" He mumbled, as Squirtle waddled away.
"What do I want?" Cara repeated the question, thinking hard. "Let's see, yesterday I wanted to run away from home, this morning I wanted to see you again, about 3 hours ago I wanted you to leave, and an hour ago I wanted to strangle you. And now, now I want to say I'm sorry." Joey looked up when he heard this, "Ya I know, bit of a surprise hearing that from stubborn Cara, but I mean it Joe. I yelled at you and you didn't deserve that."
"Thanks Cara!" Joey smiled.
"Don't get all bubbly on me just yet," Cara's face turned serious. "We still have to talk about that little secret spill you pulled back there. I specifically asked you not to tell and you did it anyway. Would you mind sharing why you would do something like that?"
"I'm sorry Cara," Joey sighed, "I wanted you guys to like me so I made alot of jokes. Then when you yelled at me I got so angry that I couldn't help it. I guess I just wanted to get back at you for it."
"Well, revenge is supposedly sweet. How did it taste?"
"Really disgusting." Joey said. Both of them laughed. "Does this mean I have to go home."
"I guess so..." Cara said hesitantly.
"In one week," A voice said from behind the both of them. It was Kevin, with Squirtle in his arms, "like we promised."
"Is eaves dropping like a hobby of yours?" Cara said sarcastically.
"IS breaking promises a habit of yours?" Kevin retorted slyly. "Joey, you're a cool little kid. You just have to learn, embarrassing people isn't the only way to make people laugh. Okay?"
"Okay, I understand." Joey nodded. "Then lets get on the road again!"
"Actually, its getting kind of dark." Cara said looking around. "I think it'd be better if we just set up a camp for the night."
"Yay!" Joey said, "This is going to be awesome! We can toast marshmallows, make little pictures with the stars in the air. Even tell scary stories! This is going to be the best journey ever! We're going on a journey!"
Kevin and Cara watched as Joey skipped happily and joyously, anticipating the journey ahead. It was going to be a long week.
