"Oh.. It's just a tiny baby Pokemon.. Nothing special really" Andrew didn't seem as interested anymore when he saw the little bonsly in front of him.
"Bons- Bonsly Bonsly!" The baby Pokemon was happy and scared at the same time. Obviously, he was happy his head wasn't burried underground anymore, but he was scared too. The storm drew it away from its family, and as a baby Pokemon that is ofcourse a frightning thing to happen. The baby bonsly started crying.
"Come on little bonsly, don't cry." Andrew's father lifted the bonsly and put him in his arms, cradling him so he would be silent.
The storm left a chaos on the whole Island. Andrew and his father, who lived in Ambilo city, in the south part of the Island country, were cleaning up the mess that was caused by the storm. At least.. Andrew his father did the work. Andrew only cleaned up when his father was looking to avoid his wining. Many Islanders now dared to go outside too, to clean the mess up together. And of course to talk about the storm itself. Even Bonsly helped out with the cleaning.
"What a mess!"
"Tell me about it."
"Never have I seen such a storm. And believe me when I say that I have seen many storms when I was a kid."
"Bonsly Bonsly!"
Still, with all their effort, they couldn't fix everything. There always would be the empty spots where trees used to stand. Their roots, ripped from the ground, their leaves and berries scattered around and their torn and crumbled bark on the ground could be cleaned up. But not the empty spots.
The storm left more than only empty spots. Boats were destroyed. Some roofs that belonged to houses were even taken away by the storm, making people literally roofless. Habitats of many wild Pokemon were destroyed.
Many people and Pokemon got hurt by the storm too. The hospital in Ambilo city, which miraculously gained nothing from the storm but a few broken windows, was full of patients. Andrew sat on a public bench that was positioned in front of the hospital. The back of the chair was mostly destroyed, but Andrew didn't care. Bonsly followed him to the bench.
"What do you want, Bonsly?"
Bonsly stood quietly. Andrew kept looking at the hospital and started talking again to the Bonsly.
"Wasn't it enough to dig you up from underground? I can't do more for you.."
The Bonsly tried climbing the bench, but without success. After a few tries, Andrew decided to help him sit on the bench. After a few minutes, Andrew started talking to the little Bonsly.
"You know, this hospital has not been here very long. About five years ago, this building opened its doors.
Before that, we had to go to the Herb Shop if we felt sick. Exactly five years ago, my mom passed away after she had traveled through the whole Island as part of some expedition. The people at the Herb Shop couldn't help her. Everyone was baffled. They decided to built this hospital when my mom already p-"
Andrew took a pause to control his emotions. He was good at keeping them bottled up when people asked him, but he had problems now, when he talked about it to Bonsly.
Bonsly noticed that Andrew stopped talking. Andrew's father walked up to the bench Andrew and Bonsly were sitting on.
"It's getting late. Time to go home Andrew." Andrew's father lifted Bonsly up and headed home with the Pokemon in his arms, with Andrew following him.
