LaRousse's Connection
By: Aubrie1234
"Drew! Are you alright? A few minutes ago you started to toss and turn and yell out. I was worried, so I released myself and tried to wake you up. What happened?" Roserade asked me.
"I-I don't know, Roserade. But, I dreamed two memories that I had forgotten for a long time. I never thought I would think of him again..." I told her.
"You mean, you remembered Zooma?"
"Yeah. I remembered the first times I ever met him. Then, the memories faded and I felt like I was getting whipped. I was glad you woke me up, Roserade. I don't know what would've happened if you hadn't." I explained, picking her up and putting her in my lap.
"You're welcome Drew. But, if you remembered Zooma, it might mean he's in danger. We need to go back to LaRousse." she told me. I knew she was right, but that dream scared me. Zooma might be in danger, but he didn't keep his promise. He didn't come back when I went there to ask him to join my team for my journey. The other times I went back he didn't appear, either.
"I don't know, Roserade..." I told her.
"We'll talk more about this in the morning. Right now, we should go to sleep." she explained. I nodded, putting her back on the ground. After I did, she started to use Sweet Scent. It smelled good, and it made me feel better. Soon, I felt myself go to sleep without realizing it.
Roserade POV
After I put Drew back to sleep with my Sweet Scent attack, I returned myself to my pokeball.
"Did you make him feel better, Roserade?" Masquerain asked me.
"Yes, I did. But, he seemed to be frightened." I told them.
"By the dream he had?" Flygon asked.
"Yes."
"Poor Drew. Did he say what it was about?" Butterfree asked.
"Yes, but it's a subject he doesn't like to discuss with anyone else except me."
"We shouldn't pester him about it, then. Especially you two." Absol told us, directing the last part to Masquerain and Butterfree. After that, we all went back to sleep, and I worried so much about Drew that I could barely get to sleep.
Normal POV
It looked so dark in the room. Then, a door opened and the lights came on. A man, hidden in the shadows, looked at the pokemon chained to the wall opposite him. The pokemon slowly opened its eyes and growled at the man.
"Are you ready to confess, yet?" the man asked.
"Not on your life." the pokemon growled, slowly getting off the floor.
"I guess we will have to go through this every time until you tell me." the man said, taking a whip off the wall. The pokemon eyed it with distaste before bracing itself. It cried out in pain with each hit. Soon, it could take no more and blacked out. Before it did, however, it whispered one name.
"Drew..."
"ZOOMA!" I yelled, shooting up and looking around. I was drenched in a cold sweat and my heart raced, making me feel like I had just run a race or something. Nothing was there except my stuff. I looked down sadly.
"Zooma..." I whispered. What had happened? Why had I woken up and felt scared? Something was wrong, but I wasn't sure what.
Well, what do you think of the long-awaited second chapter? Tell me in a review, please!
