Chapter 3: The Spark
A storm had started outside. I was in a comfy bed looking at the storm.A man with blue skrubs wheeled in a cart with some water food and X-rays.
"Here you go." He placed the water and food on a desk. "You know how the desk works right?" He grabbed the desk and pulled it. It swiveled towards my chest." Just sit upright when you do otherwise." He hit his head with his hand and pretended to be unconscious. I looked at him like he was an idiot
"I'm fifteen I know how it works not that stupid. Lemme see the X-rays real quick." he handed me the X-rays.
"It seems to be fine. The rock missed you back but there is this tiny crack here," He pointed at the middle vertebra. " It hit you but not enough to paralyze you. You'll be fine just sit up straight and you'll be fine." He took the cart out and left.
"So." I looked at the desk. "How do I use this again."
I had fallen asleep multiple times watching morning soap operas. I had a flashbacks of the flames. The Volcano. Every time i would wake up there would be doctors all around me trying to get my blood pressure back to normal. I would look through my backpack to see if I had missed anything. Nothing new there ever. "Eevee come out." When he came out i realized a smell that had suddenly appeared." Damn son you stink." I took a look outside. Still rain and thunder. "Well i don't want to take a chance of you getting electrocuted." The Storm only got worse and it started to rain harder."Shit, well i guess not right now." A nurse came in to check on me.
"Why are you out of bed."
"'Cause I feel good all right. can i just leave now."
"You have been here a whole week i think you are fine too. so i brought you these discharge papers" She held out a packet of papers. "So where are your parents. you need them to sign it to leave."
"Umm." a tear started to form. "They- They're dead."
"Oh that's OK. Just leave here I'll sign them right now for you." She signed them and released us from the hospital. I took the time to change into some normal clothes.
"All right Eevee let's go." Eevee ran out of the doors fast and ran. "No Eevee come back!"
He turned the corner and kept going. "God no please don't get hurt." I ran after him. i started to tire out but Eevee wouldn't stop. Then all of a sudden he did. "Eevee what's wrong." when i got up to him there was another Pokemon in front of him. "Vaporeon. Wow it looks amazing." another voice called in the distance.
"Vaporeon! Vaporeon i know you like rain but it's too dangerous. Just come out alre-." She walked up slowly. "Be careful it might be dangerous."
"We don't bite." i said who ever it was jumped.
"Who the hell are you." It was a girl
"My Eevee ran away too and I found it here sitting with your Vaporeon."
"OK then you just." she let out a heavy breath. " you just seemed to appear out of nowhere. You scared me." Vaporeon rubbed up against Eevee. I looked at her.
"Let's step out of the rain right now. Come on Eevee let's get out." He stood there kinda shocked he got affection. "what is that smell." I sniffed the air. "It's good."
"Sweet scent. I don't think that most Vaporeon can learn that move but after a while of training it worked."
"So my Eevee smelled bad and your Vaporeon caught the scent and tried to make it smell better." I stepped out of the rain and under a cover from one of the markets around. The girl followed. " Oh wow." She looked amazing.
"What? Is there something wrong?"
"No just umm- oh wow the rain just picked up some." She had deep blue eyes like the ocean. She was Brunette and wore ripped jeans and a T-shirt of all of Eevee's evolutions.
"Yeah it has huh." Then a huge wind blew. Eevee and Vaporeon blew away in the air.
"No not again." We both said together. We ran for our Pokemon Within seconds the wind started to blow even more.
"They- went into th-the forest." She said out of breath
"Well i guess we got to go there too." We went into the Forest where it no longer rained but it was misty. I couldn't see in front of me. " We need some way to know where we are going and we know we are by each others side."
"Well vision is out of the question." She said
"What options do we have"
"Stepping out of the mist real quick."
"OK then." We stepped out.
"Now our options. Hand and shoulder or shirt, hand holding which i am not really comfortable with. Or-" She stopped
"Or what. i guess we can just call out a random word ever once in a-" She dashed into the Forest. "Or we can do that. Wait up"
I started to get tired "Can't run any- anymore."
"Vaporeon where are you."
"I don't think that they are here anymore. They might have been blown awa-" She slapped me.
"Don't think like that OK." The fog started to clear up. There was a tear in her eyes. "I know they are here OK. That Vaporeon was my first Pokemon. I will not leave this place without it."
"I'm sorry. My first Pokemon Growlithe died not even a month ago. He died trying to help me out of a fire and instead he died."
"I think that we should just. Go look for them again." I nodded my head as a tear fell down.
"Eevee! Eve eve."
"That was Eevee which would mean that"
"Vaporeon isn't that far away either!" She jumped happily and ran to the sound. Eevee sat next to a tree waiting with Vaporeon.
"Oh thank God you two are all right." She said. She hugged her Vaporeon.
"Hey you know what?" I asked
"What is it?"
"We don't know each other's name even though we spent the whole day looking for each other's Pokemon"
"Silvia. My name is Silvia."
"Huh wat a nice name. I'm Jonathan. Last name Spark."
"Oh mine is Rosa. Silvia Rosa." ' Like Rose in Spanish.'
"OK I think that we should get out of here. Before more mist settles in again."
"Ok." She nodded and got up. "Vaporeon return." Silvia held her hand out with a Pokeball and Vaporeon became a mist into the ball. "How about you. Return your Eevee."
"You see. i don't really. Really have a Pokeball for any of my Pokemon."
She looked at me as if she was judging me. "Why not?"
"Long story just. No it's too long and we need to leave quick. Eevee come on." I tapped my leg He followed and we left the Forest.
"When did that get there?" Asked Silvia. She pointed at a mountain. It was in the middle of town.
"Groudon is back. Silvia follow me." She stayed in her position
"It's rumbling she said. Why is it rumbling?"
"That is no mountian. It's a Volcano. Do you have any family here?"
She shook her head.
"Then let's go."
She shook her head again. "I want to see it."
"Are you fuc-. Are you crazy."
She shook her head and dashed towards it.
"Eevee it tears me apart to do this but. Just stay here right now and don't run away." I ran towards Silvia. "Silvia! Come back" She stood at the base of the Volcano.
"It's amazing. I want to check it out more. Go near the top."
"It's about to erupt. You will die and I know you don't want to die."
"I do whatever the hell i want Ok. I have had no rules for ten years."
"What do you mean."
"Long story."
"We will have time to tell the stories if you get the hell of this damn Volcano."
"No. I will not. No one gives a shit about my life. Who would care if I would die. My parents, dead grandparents, dead none of my parents friends cared about me. So tell me, who would care if I died."
"I would. I care and I know that we haven't known each other for that long but you know, after a whole day i mean i don't want to see anyone else die on my watch. It doesn't seem like enough for me to say it but-" I was cut off by magma starting to pour out the top. I looked at it. It was almost as thick as toothpaste. Silvia had tears in her eyes.
"Thank you for letting me know that there was someone."
"Now let's go." I grabbed her arm and ran away from the Volcano. "Eevee come back here!" Eevee trailed right behind me. We found a safe place beyond the Forest and on a real Mountain.
"Now," Silvia started "I guess it's story time."
