The field's game
Born 2015, M, from Ho Chi Minh, Viet Nam.png)
The sun was shining as they walked across the field. Blooms and flowers of all different colors bloomed in the sunshine, giving out their beautiful and vibrant colors. Isha, her blonde ponytail trailing along, was skipping ahead, her feet dancing as she cried, "Ready or not, here I come!". Isha searched along the field and not long later, she bellowed,
"And... I caught you, Tom!" Isha shouted at the top of her voice.
"Uh, why do you like targeting me the first, Isha?" Tom groaned.
"Because you are so easy to find, Tom Tom!", Isha giggled, "You always hide behind that tree, Tom! You could have hidden somewhere better! Right, I'll be back!"
Tom groaned as she walked away. She always catches Tom (or Tom Tom) first. Because he doesn't know where to hide. The only place he knew where to hide was behind this old and crooked tree. Tom sighed and kicked a rock at his feet. He knew this couldn't keep on and needed a plan...
"TING!" went his brain. He could hide and when Isha is close, he will run away! Nothing could ruin the plan! He knew he had to beat all of his four friends, Vancroover, Lani, Gyredos, and Isha! As the day continued, they had yet, started a new game!
"Ready, set, go! One, two, three, four,..." Isha counted
All scuttled away and Tom was always aware.
"Aware mode, on," he whispered to himself.
"Ready or not, here I come!" she murmured.
"Alert! Alert! Alert! Alert! Alert! Alert! Isha is near! Go hide!" came his tiny mobile-like thing.
It was just a tiny Japanese Robin and actually, it was a robot. It still chirped, but he just got a translator beside him.
The little bot's chirps signaled Tom to move. He sniggered and climbed the big oak he was hiding behind. Soon, he was sitting atop a big branch, waiting to be found.
"Caught you, Vancroover, Lani, Gyredos!" she shouted glee, "But just the thing, I couldn't find Tom Tom."
"Of course!" Vancroover said, "We all thought he was all dumbo in hide-and-seek"
"Agree. Tom! You win!" they all shouted.
"Go fly! Robin!" Tom whispered and it flew up and it caught the eye of all four.
"Oh, Robin! Remember Tom's Japanese Robin? It was a robot that was like real, right?" he asked, staring at the Japanese Robin, suspiciously.
Tom saw everything and made Robin land on a tree. And Robin pointed his tail to where Tom was.
"Oh, Tom Tom! How did you defeat me?" Isha asked.
"Well... It's magic!" Tom said, his eyes shining with glee.
So Vancroover, Lani, Tom, Gyredos, and Isha kept on playing hide and seek. Every round, they saw Robin and it always pointed its tail at where Tom was. Sneaky!
Then, at home, Tom treated Robin like a prince. Let it eat batteries, let it fly around, let it sleep,... Tom loved Robin and Robin loved Tom. The next day, all Vancroover, Lani, Gyredos, Tom, and Isha played again. Now Vancroover was the seeker.
"1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,..." he counted.
Everyone scuttled away to not be seen by Vancroover.
"7, 8, 9, 10! Ready or not, here I come!" Vancroover shouted at the top of his voice.
"Caught you, Lani!"
"Caught yo
u, Isha!"
"But there's a problem, where is Tom?" Isha asked.
"Alert! Alert! Alert! Alert! Alert! Alert! Vancroover is near! Go hide!" said his prince friend, Robin.
Tom ran away and his prince trailed along. As he was running...
"Caught you, Tom and Robin!"
They both huffed and puffed. They are really tired, you know that, right? You can already know.
"Gyredos! You win!" Vancroover, Lani, Isha, and Tom all shouted, while Robin chirped.
Gyredos leaped out from behind a bush, smiling with glee.
"Yeah! I knew I would win! Come out Speara!"
For the whole time, Gyredos has been making a robot sparrow and just like Robin, it was named Speara.
"Cute, isn't she?" Gyredos asked.
"Of course," they said.
With Speara as Gyredos's partner, Speara can always alert Gyredos when the seeker is near. Gyredos smiled and cried, "Now, take a break! I brought sandwiches with me!"
