Last chapter: Jaden helped Rika back in the bed and place the rag back on her forehead. He then sat back on the chair with the red ball in his right hand as he watch Rika started to fall asleep. Jaden waited ten minutes before leaning back in the chair and started to fall asleep with Winged Kuriboh next to Rika head and fell asleep.
As midnight came rolling by, Jaden phone started to ringing. Winged Kuriboh woke up from the phone music and try waking up it's master, "Kuri, Kuri." as he flew around.
Jaden awoken from Winged Kuriboh and rubbed his eyes, "What's wrong pal?" as he looked at Winged Kuriboh flying around in his face, Kuri, Kuri!" That's when he heard his phone ringing.
"I hear you, I hear you." said Jaden as he reach for his phone in his pocket as he place the red ball on the nightstand next to Rika bed. Rika woke up from the ringing and Jaden talking to Winged Kuriboh.
Jaden looked at the caller ID and saw it was Bastion and answer, "Do you have any idea what time it is, Bastion?" asked Jaden as he answer the phone after he click a button and place the phone to his ears.
"These 'Pokemon' you were talking about a few hours ago, are they creatures that are wild in different parts of the world? Like are they a different species from animals?" asked Bastion on the other line sounding tired from his late night research he was doing.
"You can say that? They are kind of like a different species from animals. But you are right about they are wild. But they are easily tamed by other Pokemon who aren't wild. They can be tame by a device called a 'Pokeball. Pokeballs limit the power of Pokemon contained inside, taming them, thought they do not cause the Pokemon inside to always obey the Trainer." answering Jaden before Bastion asked what a Pokeball was.
"Then that red ball you keep messing with is a… Pokeball, correct? It's used to tame a Pokemon inside of it?" asked Bastion trying to get his thoughts straight when Jaden explain a the answer that was given to him. Rika sat there listening to Jaden answering a question to Bastion over the phone.
Ten minutes went by with Jaden answering questions about Pokemon and Pokeballs. "That's about it for what I know and Rika knows the samething that I know. I can't explain anymore of this, Bastion. The person I was talking on the phone a few hours is coming here to give me a hand about all this so for now we are going to have to wait. I have questions about something's that's going on, so till then we have to wait." said Jaden as he looked at Rika as she played with Winged Kuriboh.
Rika grabbed the phone from Jaden and said to Bastion on the other line, "Bastion, most things can't be explain. We don't know where they came from, or how they came here. Most say they came from space by a meteorite that hit the Earth and out came Cleffa, Clefairy, and Clefable. Well, that's what me and Jaden was told when learning about Pokemon. Bastion, it's late you sound tired, so wait till the Professor comes in the early morning hours. Good night." as she click a button and gave the phone back to Jaden and he put it in his pocket.
Rika yawn and laid down in the bed and she started to close her eyes and fell asleep. Jaden looked at her, put his head on the bed, next to her right hand, closed his eyes, and fell asleep with Winged Kuriboh near his head.
It's going to be a long day when the Professor comes by today. I just hope I can do it and not hurt anyone this time. I don't want my friends to get hurt for the mistake I made long ago that made me quit being a Pokemon Trainer in the first and became more of a duelist. I don't want Rika to get hurt. She wasn't there when "IT" happen. I just hope I'm strong enough to battle with my Pokemon by my side again. She'll never forgive me if "IT" happens again. I'll blame myself if anyone is hurt by this. I just hope the Professor will understand if I whole back on my attacks I'm giving to my Pokemon." thought Jaden as he open his eyes and grab with his left hand Rika right hand.
"I'm sorry if I wasn't there to help and protect you. I promise, it wont happen to you again. I'll keep you safe. I don't want you to get hurt and my past comes to haunt me again." Jaden said as a tear came down his face as he remember the past that made him quit being a Pokemon Trainer and became more of a duelist.
He grip the sheets of the bed with his left hand hiding the fear on his face with the bad memories of it. "Please understand Rika, Professor if I whole back with my attacks. Since you know Professor, you were there. He may think I'm over it, with the lies I told him when I visit him over the summer to help take care of the Pokemon." though Jaden as he let go of the sheets and fell asleep.
