Ryan's Adventures Chapter 2- Days at the Pokemon Castle Ryan and Ginger walked from the waterfall cave back towards the Pokemon castle. Ryan's words echoed through Ginger's mind "I cant let a delicate flower like you get hurt" Girnger blushed as she though but her ears went down and Ryan took notice of this and looked at her "is something wrong Ginger?" he asked. The pikachu frowned after having remembered "well i have to leave tomorrow and i'll be gone for a week" Ryan looked at her "well can you just promise that you'll be safe?" Ginger's ears perked up as she smiled "of course i'll be safe me and a few friends are just going on a trip". Soon The brown riolu and the Pikahu arrive at the castle and Ryan looked at her nervously "umm Ginger c-can you at least stay with me in my room before you leave?" Ryan said as they walked to their rooms "well i guess i can do it for you Ryan" Ryan blushed and scratched the back of his head as he opened the door letting her go into her room first "ehehe thanks it really means a lot to me" he said as he walked into the room closing the door behind him as he stared out the open window as the moon shone its dim light down onto the earth. After they got settled in Ryan's room they went downstairs to eat the dining hall. Ryan of course sat next to Ginger as they enjoyed dinner with the castle's other residents, Ryan managed to see out of the corner of his eyes his dark furred eevee friend, Black look at him and giggle making him blush a bit. One by one the pokemon left the table and went to their room, eventually the riolu and pikachu lovebirds went to Ryan's room. After entering the room locked his room for the night and layed down on his bed, Ginger following soon after and gave ryan a little kiss on the cheek causing him to blush wildly which made Ginger blush in return then she yawned and slept nuzzling Ryan before she did, Ryan simply smiled and went to sleep as well. As morning arrived Ginger packed up her things being awake earlier than Ryan, she gave The riolu a kiss on the forehead before she left for the week as Black just exited her room and saw Ginger walking out of Ryan's room and go outside walking away from the castle. Simply shrugging she went to the dining hall where there are slices of buttered toast in a basket then takes one of the slices and walked outside, The dark furred eevee staring at the morning sky a paw landed softly on her shoulder, she turned around and saw that it was Ryan behind her. Black chuckled meschieviously "hey Ryan i've been seeing you with that pikachu a lot recently, did you have a good time with her last night?" "we didnt do that!" Ryan said defensively blushing as Black chuckled "hey calm down Ryan i was just kidding". Ryan looks down blushing "alright i guess" Black gives Ryan a light punch on the shoulder and heads back inside. Ryan sits outside the castle medidtating until he catches a black furred pikachu who calls himself a negachu, known as Sparky. Ryan admired him for his strength and has been one his his long time rivals since he arrived in the castle, whenever he and Ryan would battle they would have to battle outside in the castle fields due to how destructive they become during battles, an obvious sign that they had battled many times over is the battle scarred fields. HOwever no matter how many battles they fought however Sparky always easily overpowers Ryan. Sparky looked at Ryan "hey, i'm gonna be training on the beach with Mike wanna come along?" Ryan nodded and got up" sure Sparky thanks". Ryan and Sparky walked down the forest path, as Ryan picked up on the smell of salt in the air he could see the beach and saw a pikachu there wearing a pair of boxing gloves punching a punching bag "HEY MIKE!!!" Ryan yelled as he approched the pikachu" oh hey Ryan" Mike gives another punch to the bag before letting Sparky hit it hard with his attacks, afterwards Sparky stepped aside giving Ryan his turn with the punching bag as a cradily friend of theirs watches. Ryan gets set and jumps into the sand using dig "hey Ryan you dont have to use dig" Sparky said plainly. Ryan pops his head out of the ground " i know but i am practicing" he says as a golden coin falls form his head "CHA-CHING!" sparky said as he snached up the gold coin "there should be more down here" Ryan said as he used his paws like shovels to move the sand out of his way and finding the chest soon after. "hey sparky i found it" Mike helps Ryan pull the treasure chest up as sparky threw a rope down there "tie it to the chest" sparky said excitedly and they both nodded and did it working together they managed to pull out the treasure chest, mike seeing his cradily ftiend seeming upset he went to her as Ryan and Sparky figured out where they could get the key to the locked chest as Ryan pointed it out."i did find this key here Ryan" Sparky said as he handed Ryan the key "where did you find this?" "while you were digging up the sand it hit me in the face" Sparky said rubbing between his eyes "oh sorry there buddy" Ryan said as he unlocked the chest as his and Sparky's eyes widened with so much treasure inside it, immediately Ryan and Sparky raced to grab more of the valuable loot from the chest, by the time Mike had come back all the treasure was gone but Ryan tossed a small bag towards him containing some of his half of the treausre "thanks Ryan" Mike said happily as they all walked back to the castle "looks like this week's gonna go by quickly" Ryan thought to himself as he already saw the sun setting as they walked through the long forest path back to the castle.
