Alright, so, I used Gold's Pokémon in this chapter. I assume none of you will have a problem with this, but if you do you can let me know. My best friend may help me with some future chapters (She's an expert on Ben), just to let you know. Anyway, I hope you enjoy and thanks for reading~ (No chapter title because I have no ideas for it XD)
-Ben-
I was crying…Why was I crying? I didn't want to cry, I didn't feel the need to cry, but I was doing it anyway. Sure I was upset that one of my closest friends wasn't coming back and also he probably hated himself, but it didn't upset me THAT much. I had other friends, didn't I? I would go along fine without Gold, just like he would be alright without me. Of course, he won't have anyone other than me…
He was just looking at me, he had a worried look on his face, but that didn't surprise me – I had started crying for absolutely no reason. He was most likely searching for something to say, but had nothing to say. He hadn't had anyone to comfort but himself since he died, and was even bad at that, so he thought that he couldn't help me.
"Ben, are you alright?" He asked slowly, as if unsure he wanted to say it. "Y-yes… I'm fine…" I said. I was pretty much choking over that weird feeling you get in your throat when you're sad, and it made me sound pathetic. He only seemed half satisfied with my answer, but he wasn't about to try saying something about it. He just stared at me for a few moments, than stood up and walked to the other side of the camp.
I wanted to ask what the heck he was doing, but I didn't want to sound like a helpless child so I kept my mouth shut and watched him. He was fiddling around with a bag that I guessed was from his adventures while he was living, pulling out random items while he looked for something. Finally he pulled out a PokeBall. Pokémon had always fascinated me, so I watched as he pressed the button in the middle. Out in a flash of red light came his Celebi.
It just happened to be a shiny Celebi, though one half of it was a transparent black coloring. She (I assume it's a she, I've always tried to determine the gender of legendary Pokémon.) seemed happy to be out of her PokeBall, as she fluttered her wings and spun in a little circle. To me, Pokémon in Creepypastas always seemed oblivious to the fact that they could be considered horrifying, unless that was their intention, like BRVR. They were usually only aware of their sorrow.
It pretty much ignored Gold at first and fluttered over to me, spinning circles around my head playfully, before it saw Gold. She flew over to him, the look in her eye suddenly dull. He lent in closer and whispered something to her, and she smiled again and rushed off into the forest. "Where is she going?" I asked, raising an eyebrow at the bush that Celebi disappeared into. "I told her to go on an adventure to look for firewood," Gold laughed. "She does it faster if I call it an adventure."
I soon joined in with his laughter, and once it died down we just sat in silence. I was going to give him a chance to break it, but I decided after a while it would be better if I started a conversation. "Why can't we just use Ty?" I asked him. "He won't do any good; I'd prefer to sleep in a tent tonight," He said, without looking up from whatever he was fiddling with. "You have a tent?" "Yes, an extra if you would rather sleep in one too." 'Oh, so you won't share a tent with me?' I joked in my mind about how awkward that would be.
The conversation about this went on for a little bit, before I finally had to know what the heck he was doing. "What the heck is that?" I asked, that sounded a bit rude, but I knew he didn't mind. "It's a Pokedex," He said as if it was the most obvious thing in the whole world. I remembered from his Creepypasta that he had apparently seen (and caught) every Pokémon known in that time, and jumped at the chance to see them all. Sure enough, it had data on every Pokémon in the Johto and Kanto regions.
After a while of looking at and talking about Pokémon. Celebi came back from her 'adventure'. Just in the nick of time, too. The sun was starting to go down and it was getting dark and chilly. At some point, Typhlosion and HURRY were taken out of their PokeBalls to light the fire. Most of the night was filled with awkward conversations and Gold trying to explain why he felt that he didn't belong with Creepypasta.
We were hoping to stay up all night, but that certainly did not happen. Though it was impossible to know who had fallen asleep first, we did sleep at some point. All I knew is that we had been moved into our tents and the Pokémon had put the fire out so nothing would burst into flames while we were sleeping.
I had dreamt the whole time I was asleep, and while I was dreaming, I discovered the answer to why Gold felt so uncomfortable with Creepypasta...
