As we approached the park I walked towards a table.
"Here why don't you sit here and I'll see if I can find us a snack."
The one thing I loved about this city was that the park was so rarely visited, there was no one ever around and there were still plenty of wild berries growing around.
I walked off the path into a thicker portion of the park. There were trees and bushes everywhere. I got down on my knees and started pulling off Cherri berries. I don't know how long I was there, but I was suddenly torn from a daze by a scream.
I ran back to the table to see Christen bleeding badly, being attacked by a flock of pigeys and pigeots. I pulled out her pokeball in an attempt to retreat her, but she was so badly damaged that the ball didn't recognise her.
I ran to her side, beating the swarming bird pokemon off her as I picked her up in my arms. despite being as tall as me, she weighed very little, and I ran to the pokemon center, shielding her body with mine as the attacks continued. I crashed through the doors of the building and managed a cry for help as I fell to the ground unconscious from the injuries.
I woke up to see Nurse Joy looking at me.
"you had quite the adventure" she said in a giggly voice.
I groaned as I sat up. My arms were covered in bandages.
"What happened to my arms?" I asked in shock.
"Well you came in, your shirt was torn and your arms and back were bloody. I counted at least 13 cuts that were deep and at least 25 that broke skin. You got really lucky. You and your Gardevoir."
"Where is she?" I demanded, launching my self of the hospital bed as I remembered what had happened. "Take me to her!"
"You really shouldn't be moving so do you promise if I take you to her you will stay and rest? The bed should be large enough to hold both of you if don't mind sharing with her."
I nodded and she walked me to Christen's room.
When I got in there, my gardevoir had bandages covering her arms, legs, and her chest. Her head was left mostly unscarred besides a cut running from her cheek to her lip.
"Christen," I said softly as I fell to my knees.
Nurse Joy stood behind me.
"Don't worry. She should be fine. Nothing is too terrible and she will recover within a few days. I would be more worried about yourself right now as your scars are a lot worse. Humans cannot take the same kind of damage as a pokemon for long.."
I nodded and sat next to Christen on the bed, and took hold of her hand. she had shown me how to open myself to be pulled into her consciousness a while back, and I now felt a tug as I was pulled into her mind.
I felt a cold breeze. 'Christen?' I called out in my head, and I felt another dragging sensation; then nothing.
Lloyd! What the hell happened? Where are we? This doesn't feel familiar."
It's ok. I need you to calm down alright? We are in a Poke center. Some pokemon attacked you at the park. I found you on the floor all bloody and still being attacked. I stole you away and ran you here.
Silence followed for a while, as if she were choosing her words very carefully.
"Th...thanks…"
"No problem, you would have done the same for me."
"I mean thanks for throwing yourself in there. Before blacking out I remember seeing your face close to mine and the Pidgeys attacking you. You shouldn't have done that… You could have been seriously hurt."
I fell silent, internally batling with myself whether I would tell her my feelings for her. Maybe if I did I could blame it on the painkillers... play it off... noone could intrude into the bond we were sharing but one wrong word and I could screw up a lifelong friendship.
"christen, can I tell you something?"
"anything"
"I... I like you more than ju... what I mean is you mean so much to..." I groaned at how bad this was.
"what im trying to say is.. I love you. not just as a friend, I truely love you so much.. if you want me to shut up please tell me to stop..."
It was an awkward silence for a while and just as I was panicing; about to take it all back and play it off as a joke, I felt something tearing me back to reality. As I opened my eyes Christen had wrapped her arms around me and was holding me in a kiss.
At first I was surprised but I leaned into it and slowly parted my mouth. Her tongue came in slowly and carefully and I rubbed mine against it. She started exploring the caverns of my mouth and I pushed my tongue into hers.
after what seemed an eternity, yet a length of time far too short, our faces parted and she smiled at me as she set her head back down on the pillow.
I wanted to say something, anything, but I collapsed onto the bed from exhaustion next to her before I could manage a word.
