Chapter 4: Team Chaos... and my Guitar?

...«Don't worry, you are safe. I'll take care of you... big guy.»


USHIO's POV

I looked at that Paul guy. He returned his Turtwig and said to me coldly "What do you want?"

I just ignored his cold presence. "Who were those guys?"

"Team Chaos..." he almost smiled - "You sure are an ignorant girl. The «C» would be of what? «Cangaroo»?"

"Excuse me, Mr. Perfect. But the only ignorant I see here is you." He gave me a look like he was not enjoying our little conversation. - "«Cangaroo» is written with a «K»"

"Humph" - He started to walk - "Anyway, we should get moving to the Pokemon Center, and fast. It's going to rain soon"

"What? We? We who? Is he thinking that I am going with him? Well, Chimchar is pretty sold-out, I guess it's the only choice I have." - I hugged the fire Pokemon tighter - "OK, Let's go!"

It took a long time to arrive at the nearest Center and we had to dash not to get wet from the rain.

"Nurse Joy, Nurse Joy!" - I shouted - "Please, can you treat my Chimchar?"

"Oh my Dear Lord Arceus!" Nurse Joy seemed shocked. - "How could you let your Chimchar reach this horrible state?"

"I'm sorry, Nurse Jo.."

"Don't apologize to me! You should be apologizing to Chimchar! Now, excuse me."

She left us and went inside the emergency room

I went to the waiting room and sat in one of the red chairs. "Stupid, stupid, stupid! I'm so stupid!"

"Really? That's news to me!" - What? That guy followed me? - He has got some nerve!

"Look! I am not in the mood to hear your ironies!" - That guy just pissed me off! - "Just shut up!"

He seemed very serious and sat in front of me. "Look girl, I am..."

"The girl has a name, and it's Ushio!"

"Whatever" - he continued - "I am not here with you because I want. We are both Guardians and we have a mission. I don't like you and I'm pretty sure you don't like me either. But, we have to stick together and fight as one. Got it?"

"Yeah, sure" - I was getting weaker by the second - "It's you and me now, right?"

I was being ironic, but he didn't seem to understand that. "And I'm the stupid one?..."

"Humph! Now don't fall for me, girl" - as he said this, he got up and fell.

"Well, I guess you're the one who's falling for me... literally." - I was very entertained, but I could barely open my eyes.

"I'm getting a room." - he said this as he stood up... again - "Do you want to share?"

But, when he turned my way, I was already asleep.

"I am NOT taking her!"

And he disappeared up the stairs.


"Ahhh, bad night of sleep. My body really hurts!" - I said as I was trying to find a comfortable position in the chair I had slept in.

"It's just incredible how the only part of your body that doesn't hurt is your mouth!"

I looked to my left. There was Paul, sitting right next to me. "Good morning for you too!"

"Shut up, girl. I am with a headache, OK?" - He said with a face of who hadn't sleep very well.

But I wasn't finished - "Really? I have been with a headache since I first heard your voice!"

"I am going outside! I need to train!"

He was mad for some reason.

I got up. "Is that what you always do, drama boy?"

He turned around and faced me. "What do you mean, girl?"

I didn't even comment the fact that he didn't use my name, because I did not use his either. - "Every time the conversation doesn't fit you, you just run away! You can't even..."

I didn't finish what I was saying because he interrupted me. And that is a response I will never forget.

"At least I didn't take a nap while my Pokemon was fighting all alone just to protect me! Do you understand, Ushio? I never gave up on my Pokemon like you did."

He was really mad and he just stopped «attacking» when he saw that I was crying and running towards Chimchar's room.

He looked at Turtwig's Pokeball and went outside.

"He's right. I abandoned Chimchar... I don't deserve to be here. How can I be a Guardian when I can't even take care of my Pokemon?" All these thoughts were running through my head. I just kept running until I reached the right room.


PAUL's POV

"She sure is a stupid girl. She let emotion take control of her. Now that I think about it, so did I. But... Those eyes... they are the same as..."

"(Master?)" - Turtwig looked at me with a worried expression.

"Emotions... They just exist to poison our lives..." - I returned Turtwig. I couldn't train. - "I can't train. I guess I'll just go and... apologize to her..."

I started to make my way to the Center. "That's right. She still doesn't know..."

"The only thing Team Chaos wants from her is..."


Soooo... What did you think? What does T. Chaos wants from our little Guardian? If you ask me... it´s just too simple...

I have terrible news : Due to my tests and future exams, I wont publish for a while... now that the story was getting interesting. But I will try.
