What's going on, well here's chapter 4 hopefully this story gets more attention. Anyways I own nothing about pokemon so read on fellow peeps, read on.
When i gave my final goodbyes to May's family, May and I walked out to her front porch.
"I'm going to miss you May." I said.
"Me to," May said.
"Promise you'll call me as much as you can John."
"I promise." I then kissed May on the lips, she returned it back as well. Hopefully this won't be the last time i see her.
I started walking home, with ralts still on my shoulder.
"So ralts, do you have anyplace where you can stay?"
She didn't say anything for a bit and quietly said, "No."
"Well hey, serious question. How would you like to come and live with me and possibly be my pokemon?"
Ralts' expression lit up and she said, "I would like that. Thank you John."
"No problem, i'll just have to tell my parents."
I wasn't to worried that they would say no, besides, ralts did save me, so that should have a soft spot for my parents.
"Do you think your parents will say yes?" Ralts said.
I looked at her confidently and said, "Definitly."
As soon as we got home, i saw a moving truck parked infront our house. (Hmm, my dad probably got the truck so he doesn't have to get it tomorrow).
I walked in and saw my dad bringing boxes downstairs.
"Hey John, i heard what happened to you today, thank god your alright." He put the box down near my feet and took a deep breath.
"Not as strong as i was before," he said
He looked up at me and saw the pokemon that was sitting on my shoulder.
"Well this must be the pokemon that saved your life. I can't thank you enough."
Ralts just nodded, guess she was just shy since my dad can be loud at times.
"Well, hey dad, i need to talk to you and mom right now."
"Your mom's not here right now, she went to get some food, but you can tell me right now if you'd like.""Well... I decided i want to keep ralts and possibly use her as my starter pokemon when we move into the new place." He was quite for a bit, and started picking up the box he put infront of me and put it in the garage.
When he came back, he said, "Well, it's fine by me. I can already see that you two have gotten along well." Ralts started jumping up and down on my shoulder saying, "Thank you, I promise I will be good and if you ever need any help, i'll be glad to help."
My dad replied, "Well, thank you, if anything comes to mind, i'll see what you can help with."
"Thanks dad," i said, giving him a hug.
"Yeah thank you," ralts said also giving my dad a hug.
"No problem you two."
I headed upstairs to my room to get changed into something more comfortable.
"Hey ralts, since you're going to be living here, I thought it'd be a good time now to give you a name."
Ralts seemed happy at that.
"I'd been thinking about your name and decided to call you Ruby."
She hugged my head and said, "Thank you, I love it!"
I set her down on my bed and said,"Wait here for a bit okay? I'm just going to go get changed real fast."
She replied, "Okay John."
I grabbed some sweatpants and a white t-shirt and went to the bathroom. When I came out and went to my room, I was about to tell Ruby if she wanted something to drink our snack on and saw her curled up on my bed, fast asleep. I smiled at that. Sleep is probably what she needs most since it seems she has been alone and afraid for awhile. I turned off the lights in my room and went downstairs.
"Hey John," my dad said. "Help me lift this box up to the garage."
I grabbed one end of the box and started lifting it. God it was freaking heaaavvyyyyy, but we managed.
"There, (sigh), that'll be the last box for the night." my dad said.
He saw that Ruby wasn't with me and said,"Where's your pokemon?"
"She fell asleep," i said. We were about to chat when we heard,
"I'm home!" I heard my mom shout.
My dad and I walked towards the kitchen and saw that she brought back pizza.
"Hey give me a sec, let me go upsatirs real quick," I said.
"Okay, but hurry, you know how your father is when he's hungry," my mom said.
I looked at my dad and saw he already had two slices in each hand. I went to my room and whispered,"Hey Ruby."
She didn't respond. I moved her a bit, which was probably a mistake. She got up, terrified and shouted out for me.
"I'm here Ruby! Calm down, i'm here!" i said while holding her close to me.
She calmed down and started sobbing. I was hugging her tight to show her she is safe here. She then looked at me and said,"I though you left me."
"I would never leave you Ruby."
After she stopped crying i asked,
"You feel better?"
She sniffled and said,"Yeah, as long as you don't ever leave me alone."
"I promise. Now, are you hungry?"
I then heard her stomach growl and saw that she blushed a bit.
"C'mon, i'm sure you'll like what we're having."
I picked her up and put her on my shoulder.
"Thank you for everything your doing for me," she said.
"It's what friends do when friends are in need," i said.
I went downstairs to grab whatever was left of the pizza.
"How many slices do you want Ruby?"
"Just one."
I grabbed on slice for her and two for myself.
When my mom saw Ruby on my shoulder she pet her head and said,"Welome to the family."
Ruby smiled and said,"Thank you for taking me in."
After we were done eating, we headed back upstairs. It was a long day, and I was just tired. I put Ruby on my bed and went to grab my iPod. I usually can't sleep without music, so i sometimes put my iPod under my pillow and let it play throughout the night. Since Ruby was here, i'll just have to use earphones.
"Goodnight John," Ruby said as she curled up next to me.
"Goodnight Ruby."
I scrolled through my music list and started playing "Feel Good Inc." I then shut my eyes and made sure that i didn't crush Ruby. I started thinking about what Ruby may have drempt. I wanted to ask to see help her over come the nightmare, but, I'm afraid that she may be dreaming of what happened to her parents.
"You don't have to be afraid to ask John," I heard Ruby said. That startled me. I wasn't expecting her to here my thoughts. "Are you sure you want to tell me?" I said. "Yeah, I think that we should get know each other more since now, I have a new family."
Well we get to know more of Ruby's life before she met John. She must feel real comfortable now being with him. Anyways, hope this chapter wasn't bad or anything. So leave a review, and have a merry Christmas. Before I also forget, I'll try to get the next chapter up before, lets say, Sunday or Monday. Anyways, adios people.
