Offbeat Feet - PKMN Training (Feet Caption)
May stopped for a respite at a wayward village that seemed to lack a lot of the normal amenities she'd often find in towns or cities. She sat under a shady tree, removed her shoes and brought her knees to her chest. She didn't see a sign for any sort of shop, and most of the buildings seemed like large huts, luckily her pack had plenty of provisions for herself and Torchic who had opted to follow her around outside of her pokeball. The weather had been calm that day, and seemed perfect for a restful day. She leaned back against the tree and chugged from a water bottle and gave some food to her Pokemon, and closed her eyes. She was starting to doze off when a voice startled her awake.
"Hello there young traveler!" said a stout young man who walked about with his hands behind his back. "Welcome to our little slice of heaven."
May blinked and thanked him. The man walked closer and extended his hand, she shook it and he explained how he was the unofficial welcoming comittee since he enjoyed being towards the entrance of the village, where he could capture amazing photos of the wild pokemon that roamed the surrounding area. The man adjusted his thick spectacles, and smiled at her Torchic who hid behind May.
"What a cute little Torchic," he said waving at her. Torchic seemed to smile back and appreciated the compliment. "Would you mind me taking a few pictures of you?" Torchic hopped closer to the man and stood proudly, as if preparing to pose for the camera. The man snapped a few photos, and stepped back a bit.
"I'm Kitel, by the way," he said with a small bow.
"Nice to meet you, Kitel, I'm May," said May and scratched Torchic's head who introduced herself as well.
Kitel glanced down at May, coughed a little and added, "You know, our village is quite old fashioned... and we have a legend that says that a Pokemon Trainer who has their picture taken here becomes the greatest Trainer the world has ever known.... it may seem like hoopla, but since you're here, if you're game I could snap a few pictrues for you."
May hadn't noticed but he had glanced a few times at her bare feet since their encounter. May blinked, the idea seemed odd, but it couldn't hurt to have some pictures taken, they could make for nice keepsakes. She started to get up but Kitel asked her to remain where she was, he liked the way the shadows looked on her underneath the tree and he stepped back further, and instructed her to raise her feet up instead of keeping them flat on the ground.
"Like this?" asked May, resting only her heels on the grass, with her knees still bent towards her.
"That's perfect," said Kitel and lifted his camera to his face. He clicked the shutter button several times before being interrupted by May.
"I'm sorry, but what does taking pictures of my feet have to do with Pokemon Training?" she asked, rather angrily.
"What do you mean 'of your feet'? replied Kitel, shocked, with a question of his own.
"I could see them very well reflected on your lens," said May. Kitel started sweating, and inserted an explanation for his strange object choice.
"Well... we believe that feet always carry you wherever you go, so by capturing an image of them, a part of the journey so far is immortalized forever," he said, and wiped sweat off of his brow. May glared at him, and he quickly backed away and said that it would take some time for the photos to be develped. Kitel glanced at May's Torchic and wondered if she could sense the tension in the air, afraid that his camera and himself would get burned, he ran away as fast as his stout legs could carry him.
May sighed. She would have given chase, but she felt he wasn't really worth it. She scratched Torchic's head.
"Well," she said. "I think we just got our pictures taken by a creepy perv." She leaned back against the tree and dozed off feeling assured that no other creeps would be around.
