Fate That Brought Us Together

Chapter 7: Strange voices

"Hey Drew" I said starring at his face closely.

"Uh yeah Nikki"

"Are you like sick or something" I said putting my hand to his forehead.

"Uh no" he said pushing my hand away.

"Are you sure, because you haven't made some obnoxious comment all day"

"I'm not sick, and your stupid" he said.

"There's my Drew" I said giggling.

--Drew's PoV--

"I'm not sick and your stupid" I said expecting her to blow up in anger.

"There's my Drew" she said giggling.

WAIT did she just say MY Drew, as in HER Drew, as in ME and HER TOGETHER!

My thoughts were interrupted when she poked me on the cheek and said, "are you sure your not sick because your cheeks are awfully red." That's when I realized my thoughts had made me blush, so I did the first thing I thought of, " IM NOT SICK" I said and pushed her, causing her to stumble and fall to the ground. I realized that wasn't such a good idea considering both her Arcanine were still out of their Poke balls.

--Back to my PoV--

Did he just….did he just push me?

I noticed both my Arcanine were growling and getting ready to use Drew as there own personal chew toy for pushing me, "No its ok you guys, obviously he is sick" I said hopping on one of the Arcanine, "the next town is 15 minutes away by walking, I should be there in 5, we can meet up in front of the contest hall, consider yourself lucky that I'm nice and that you didn't get burnt to a crisp by my Aracine, or else that pretty little green hair of yours would have been nothing but ashes." The Arcanine took off, and I left Drew standing there in the open road.

That Drew he's such a jerk, I cant believe he pushed me, what I really cant believe is that I let him get away with it, boy I swear he is going to pay, I just have to figure out how.

I sighed then rubbed my Arcanine, "Kumiko what were you thinking when you took on all those pokemon for me back when Dylan attacked me"

"Raa, raa, raa" (of course I was thinking I wanted to protect you mother)

" Kumiko your such a nice girl, such a strong one too, but what I want to know is what made you jump in front of me like that, your eyes were so piercing, and your flames were so intense, back then it seemed like not even Entei itself could get in your way" I said.

"Raaa, raa" (that look in your eyes, I knew you were scared, because they changed their appearance)

"So you don't think that its scary when my eyes do that" I said, and Kumiko shook her head, "you know I think Drew saw them, that other day when the Pidgeot came, I think he saw them change colors, I hope he's not afraid of me."

"Raa, Raa" (Him! Please mother I would be more worried on what attack I should use on him)

"Kumiko, you are one violent Arcanine, you know that?" I said smiling, "even though he did push me, I'm just not that kind of person, not like Dylan"

"Raaa" ( I'm sorry mother I didn't mean that)

"Its ok, I know you didn't its just that he-"

I was interrupted when a weird familiar feeling swept over my body. "Kumiko come with me" I said walking outside of the pokemon center. Come to me, come Nikki come, follow my voice, for I am your answer. What was this voice speaking in my head, Follow my voice, I shall guide you, you must follow my orders, for the sake of this world. I kept walking until I came face to face with a tree, "a tree, the sake of the world has to do with a tree?" I said then sweat dropped. Look to higher grounds, see what only your eyes can see. For some strange reason I felt I should climb the tree, so I did. When I got to the top I looked out to the open view, "see what only my eyes can see?" I said out loud, " what does that mean." Sing, sing the song of your heart, and you'll see my way. "My song, you mean my lullaby, look at me I'm talking to an imaginary voice" I said shaking my head. If I was imaginary, would you be listening to me? "Ahh you talk back, I mean whatever thing, it, something, well whatever you are you can talk back" I said to no one. Why of course, I am your protecter, I am Palkia. "My protector, may I ask you something, if you're my protector what are you protecting me from" I said. People, bad people, and I need your help and you need Drew. "I WHAT, I need Drew please I was doing just fine without him" I said crossing my arms. Believe in me Nikki, you need him, and he needs you, I must go, I've used to much energy for now, we will talk again, then you may sing to me. " Alright" I said jumping out of the tree, landing by Kumiko, "goodbye for now" When there was no reply I figured Palika had already left, "yeah right, me need Drew, Ha when Phanphy fly, and I certainly don't think he needs me either" I said then kumiko and I walked to the contest hall.

Drew was in front of the contest hall, looking around as if he was looking for someone. "looking for someone" I said tapping him on the shoulder. He turned around and glared at me, "HOW COULD YOU JUST LEAVE LIKE THAT, YOU COULD HAVE BEEN HURT" he yelled.

"I didn't think you cared about me."

"I DON'T, BUT I NEED YOU TO ENTER THE CONTEST."

"SO THAT'S ALL YOU NEEDED ME FOR, SO TELL ME IS THAT WHY YOU ASKED ME TO TRAVEL WITH YOU, JUST BECAUSE YOU NEEDED SOME STUPID RIBBON, HAS EVERYTHING I TOLD YOU BEEN NOTHING, AM I REALLY NOTHING TO YOU, AM I THAT WORTHLESS!"

He finally realized that his word actually hurt her, and he didn't mean it to come out like that. "DREW I THOUGHT YOU WERE DIFFERENT, SOMEONE I COULD TRUST, BUT IM JUST ANOTHER STUPID GIRL TO YOU RIGHT, WELL GO FIND SOME OTHER STUPID GIRL TO TRAVEL WITH, BECAUSE I NEVER WANT TO SPEAK TO YOU AGAIN!" I yelled crying, then turned and ran off with Kumiko close behind me.

He doesn't need me, he never did.

I ran to a park and sat on collapsed in the grass as kumiko cuddled against me, (I had returned the other Arcanine a while back), "stupid Drew" I cried, "that obnoxious little jerk, with his stupid green hair, I never should have trusted anyone I was better off on my own."

"Pathetic as ever" a familiar voice said.

I turned around to see Dylan glaring at me, "What are you doing here" I said getting up and backing away only to bump into something behind me. I slowly turned around only to find his Ursaring. "Kumiko, please help" I said, but when I heard no reply I saw that she was knocked out by sleep powder. "What do you want" I said glaring back at Dylan. "I simply want my revenge" he said smirking. "Your revenge for what, I told you to leave and that's all" I said trying to grab a poke ball but realized I gave them all to nurse joy when I arrived in town. "I could have been champion of the Elite Four, I could have been the best, but you got in my way" he said, "now if I cant be champion, neither can you, so I'm going to get rid of you" "Your..your going to get rid of me" I said shocked, "you mean your going to-" "Yes Nikki, I'm going to kill you" he said smirking.
