Soul link
Chapter Three:
The friendship and the promise
Jake POV
I woke up in the dawn like ever, and even with my eyes closed I knew it was dawn because I could feel the cold wind that entered through the opening of my tent. I raised my eyelids and immediately looked to my chest, but Lily wasn't there. I got up and went out of the tent and watched around, but I couldn't see her.
"LIIILYYY" I shouted, and as response I heard a laugh over me. I watched up to see Lily laughing while sitting in a tree branch, and I could say that she appeared amused from my sudden burst of panic."Lily don't do that to me again, I was scared" I told her.
"Sorry for that it is just that I like to see the sun rising" she said.
"You too?" I asked while climbing up the same tree.
"Do you like to watch it?" she answered my question with another one.
"Yes, I watch it every day. It makes me feel that even if I am far from home my family is by my side" I confessed.
"That's really beautiful, Jake" she said looking at me.
"Thanks Lily. Hey, look that!" I said pointing with a finger to the horizon. When she turned the sun started to rise, but it was different now: the ever orange sun rise now had a golden glow. "I have never seen a sun rise with a golden color" I was surprised to see her with a confused expression in her face.
"Never? But I watch it like this every day" the little Pokémon said staring at me.
"But then how?" I asked, but before she could open her mouth I discovered the answer "The link! Now I can see the world at your way!" I told her smiling.
"Maybe is that, but now that doesn't matter" she said wrapping her little arms around my waist. I hugged her with my right arm and with the left I reached to an apple and grabbed it. When I was going to bite it I stopped and looked to Lily.
I gave her the apple while telling "Take it, you must be hungry" she looked at the apple and next to my face, then picked the apple and started to eat it while I was petting her.
"I'll have a meal and after that I need to brush my teeth, you can come with me if you want" I said.
I jumped from the tree and fell slightly. Maybe my legs are thin, but they are really powerful; I can run during two hours without getting tired. I entered the tent and looked in my bag where I found prepared meals, which I started to eat smiling. After I finished I looked for my toothbrush, but I was surprised when I found two of them. It was strange but I took them both and exited from the tent to find that Lily was waiting for me.
"Here, take this" I handed one of the toothbrush.
"What is this?" she asked when she grabbed it.
"That is a toothbrush and it is used to clean the teeth" I answered.
"The teeth has to be cleaned?" she asked surprised this time.
"Well, humans usually do it to avoid getting the mouth stinky or oral diseases" I explained.
"Oh, now I understand. Can you teach me how to brush my teeth?" she asked.
"Sure, why not?" I told her. She seemed to be happy when I taught her how to brush her teeth.
Strangely, I felt that happiness as it was my own. After brushing our teeth I told her that I was going to get dressed and to not enter the tent. When I was dressed I put my sable on my belt and packed the tent and headed towards Sandgem Town.
"Where are we going?" said Lily to break the silence between us.
"We are going to Sandgem Town because I need a Pokedex to be registered as a trainer" I cleared for the little Pokémon.
"A Pokedex, what is that?" she asked interested; to be appear she liked to make questions.
"The Pokedex is a device that works like an encyclopedia of Pokémon, and a trainer can save his data in it and getting registered" I told her. She seemed surprised but stayed quiet, but to be appear she wanted to make more questions. We walked for a while until a Shinx appeared from behind some bushes and growled us. We stood quiet and watched him.
After a few moments I told Lily "Hey, do you want to fight?" she turned her head to see me and nodded.
"If you think you can beat me you're crazy" called the Shinx.
"We don't think we can beat you, we KNOW we can" I said.
"Can you understand what I am saying?" the wild Pokémon asked.
"Yes, I can but that doesn't matter now: you wanted a fight and you will get it!" I said with adrenaline flowing through my veins.
"Well, let's begin then" he said going in a tackle towards Lily.
"Use Teleport!" I ordered. She teleported away from the attack "Now use Psychic and throw him away!" Lily eyes glowed bright blue and the Shinx levitated and was hurled to a tree, where he crashed and fainted "Yes! You did it Lily, you won!" I said hugging her.
"I can't believe I won!" she said.
I looked down to her face and smiled "Believe it or not you did it great" I assured her.
She smiled and we headed again to Sandgem Town, but we were so happy that without knowing it we already were in front of Prof. Serbal lab. I handed a fist and knocked the door three times and waited a few moments before the Pokémon Professor opened.
"So you are Jake Coen? Glad to meet you" said Serbal hanging me a hand.
"Glad to meet you too, Professor but how did you know I was coming here?" I asked shaking his hand.
He just smiled "Your dad called me saying that you were coming here. Well, I think this is what you want" he handed a Pokedex.
"Thanks Professor" I said while grabbing the device.
"You're welcome son. Good luck" he told me before closing the door.
I stood there a while before jumping and shout to the sky a loud 'YES!' Lily started to dance and I felt the happiness from her wrapping my own. We went to the route 202 and in the way I saved my info in the Pokedex, but there was too late so we decided to camp there. I was setting the sleeping bag in the floor when I felt a fear that didn't was mine, so I supposed it was Lily who was bothered. She was outside the tent so I walked out to see that she was sitting in the ground staring the stars, but I sat next to her and asked "Are you okay Lily?"
"Yes, I'm okay" she said still looking to the sky.
"No, you are not. You can't lie to me, my soul is attached to the yours so I can feel when you are lying to me" I pressed, looking how she slowly started to get her head down.
"Can you promise something?" she told me.
"What is it?" I urged.
"Promise that you will never leave me alone" I was shocked by this: how could she think that I will do that.
I wanted to reply but I couldn't so I stood up, walked to be in front of her and there I knelt , bowed my body to forward and said with a really trustful voice "I promise, by my life, that I will never leave you alone Lily". I didn't know that the promise I made in that moment would become something of life and death for me with the time.
Well I hope you like it, but I have you a little surprise: the next chapter POV will be from Lily. Yes it is true; well see you the next time. And let me tell you something: it is really hard to take time to the chapters when you go to the high school, so if I don't post a chapter one day you will know why. Please leave reviews.
