CHAPTER 8: JOURNEY TO YOU
"And ever has it been that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation." Kahlil Gibran
It has been a day since I left the mansion. I was just two hours away from Floaroma town-the place where Blue was. It was shocking, I had never worked so hard for someone else before in my life. The town of Floaroma and the small towns around it outlawed automobiles for the sake of preserving their clean environments- which made me walk all this way by foot. I walked through thick forests to reach her. Now I was walking through a small town. I walked through the streets, apparently I was not attracting any unnecessary attention to myself. I was relieved. However, when I was walking through the town, I overexerted myself. I had forced my overexerted body way too much- trying to get there as soon as possible. That caught up to me when I suddenly felt my legs going limp. Everything around me started to blur, and the last thing I heard was this guy's voice.
..
..
..
I woke up inside a white room... was I inside a hospital? I quickly sat up to find a someone sitting in the chair next to my bed.
"Finally up now?" He said.
I nodded, "Yeah... what happened?"
"You collapsed in the streets. You kind of scared me actually, I was just walking behind you and you fell on top of me," The guy said.
I carefully examined his face- he looked familiar. I couldn't put my finger on it... but he reminded me of someone.
"...It's kind of funny though... to think I would meet up with you here Green. It's been a while," The guy said.
That shocked me... he knew me? I took a good look at this face and slowly started to realize just who this guy was. His face must've recognized my coming-to-realization.
"....it's you! Red!" I shouted as though I had an epiphany.
He grinned and nodded, "Yep! Great to see you again Green! It's been, what, three years?!"
I ignored his greeting and said, "You look different! More mature looking now!"
He sweatdropped at my comment, he then smiled and replied, "You don't look too shabby yourself Green. Now can I ask you-What are you doing here in Sinnoh?"
I smirked. "I could ask you the same exact thing, Red. You disappeared from Pallet three years ago.. and then I meet you by chance in Sinnoh? It's too random."
"Ah... I just decided to promote my career-that's all," Red explained.
"...Promote your career? What career are you talking about?" I asked with clear curiosity in my voice.
Red laughed. "Believe it or not, I'm a traveling musician. I often preform in clubs," Red said.
My eyes widened. Since when was Red a musician?
Red laughed and leaned back while holding his head. He looked up at the ceiling and whispered, "it was always one of my dreams..."
I looked down and smiled. It was good Red was doing what he wanted. He also had the ability to do whatever he felt like doing since he had so much freedom. I admit, I was a bit jealous.
"...Green. You never told me... what are you doing here anyways?" Red asked again.
I looked at Red and said, "I'm here because I fell for someone..."
Red looked deep in thought after I had said those words.
"..I think I recall reading a magazine article about your engagement to... what was her name.. Pantene Berlin?" Red asked.
"No she's not a city or a hair product. Her name is Platina Berlitz," I finished, "but that's not who I'm talking about."
Red shot me a confused look. I sighed and started to explain my situation.
"Long story short... I went to her compound... met her and her family... spent a couple days there... and then I met someone," I explained.
"...don't tell me- she part of the staff?" Red asked with confusion.
I smirked and said, "Yeah...."
Red stood up in shock, "That's so scandalous, Green!"
I laughed. "But if you really think about it... it isn't. Platina and I never met before I went to her compound."
Red sat down.
"Huh... you're right... So... who's she? Describe her to me."
I looked down while smiling, "Her name is Blue... she's well-educated and understanding... She's also very caring and confident. I've never met someone like her."
I could hear Red laughing as he said, "you sound whipped man! You didn't even mention what she looked like! Don't tell me... she's unattractive?"
I looked over to him. He was definitely kidding but I responded to his joke right away, "No.. she's very attractive. She's absolutely gorgeous. If you ever meet her I'll be sure to ward your prying hands away from her."
Red said, "Woah, you sound serious... but tell me this... why are you all the way out here?"
I sighed and sat back, "Yeah... that's the problem. She's a thief. She stole from the Berlitz's and I'm trying to get them back."
"Woah, a thief? Why are you doing it? Why not the police?" Red asked.
"Because I have unfinished business with her," I explained, "I'm on my way to Floaroma town to meet her."
Red stood up and gave me a bright face, "Dude, I'm going there too! We should travel together! I want to meet this so-called Blue anyhow."
I smiled and replied, "sounds good man, just don't scare her off, alright?"
Red laughed, "Please... you should see me as a threat."
I laughed, "I doubt that. Anyways... where am I? Am I in a hospital or what?"
Red said, "You're actually in a small clinic, they gave me free charge if I gave them permission to take some pictures of your sleeping face."
I stood up from my bed and yelled, "what?!"
Red just laughed and said, "Nah I was just kidding! Chill dude! I just gave them a small concert and they said okay."
I cleared my throat and got off the bed. I slipped on my shoes and headed towards the door. I stood at the doorway and signaled Red to follow.
"Come on, Red. Let's go."
....
...
.
"We're finally here! Floaroma town!! Man, I've always wanted to come to this town!" Red shouted childishly.
I couldn't help but chuckle. We had just arrived to the beautiful town of Floaroma. The town was really stunning. Everywhere around us there were flowers in bloom-even in the streets! The town was not rural, but not bustling either. The town had this certain air of nostalgia. It made you feel at home. I felt great here.-it was no surprise that Blue came from this town. Red seemed to enjoy this town as well. I was walking down the street when I noticed a strange cloaked figure that made it's way into a local bar. Just before the person entered, I caught a glimpse of brown hair, so immediately I pulled Red and rushed in.
The sights in the bar surprised me. There were gang members everywhere, it contrasted to the image of the town.
"So there are people in this town as well..."
There was one image that surprised me the most. There was this young girl, no older than sixteen standing at the bar. It shocked me- she shouldn't have been here.
"I'm telling you! She sent me here to get the money! I need to get it today or she'll get mad!" The girl argued with the bar host.
"Look, kid. I told ya... I ain't got no extra dough! I don't care whatcha owner said, I ain't giving ya the money today!" He argued back.
She glared at him and warned, "look... you've owed that money to us for-what... four months now? You obviously have the money! Now I need it today or we can't pay for the rent!"
He gave her a menacing look back and snapped-signaling for his guards to take her away. Two cloaked men appeared, one with grey hair and another with brown hair. I mentally sighed as I figured out that the cloaked figure wasn't Blue at all. I was just about to leave the scene when I noticed Red was no longer next to me.
"Stay away from her!"
I turned my attention to the source of the voice. Red, being an idiot, was defending the girl that was talking to the bar owner. He stood in front of her defensively.
That Red... always meddling into other people's affairs like he's a hero or something. I slapped my forehead in annoyance while I witnessed this scene.
"Look, punk! This is none of ya's beeswax! Now get! Take ya's little girlfriend as well!" The owner shouted.
"I'm not leaving until you do as she said!" Red yelled back.
The owner shot a hateful glare towards Red and signalled for his guards to attack Red. I reached out in attempt to save Red's sorry butt...
but then the young girl stood in front of Red defensively.
"Okay! I'll leave! Just let us go quietly!" She warned.
The owner gave her a suspicious look and finally nodded in agreement. She slowly walked to the door, passing by me with no sign of relent, and then walked out of the bar. Red watched as she go, and then ran outside to catch up with her. In alarm, I followed Red. Outside I found Red talking to the girl.
"Thanks for all your help... you really are a kind person," The girl shyly looked down as she thanked Red.
Red grinned playfully and said, "No problem! I'm sorry we couldn't get what you came for though!"
She gave him a silly smile and replied, "It's okay! By the way... I never got your name..."
"Red is the name!"
She blushed and responded, "My name is Yellow... I'm pleased to meet you Red."
He stuck out his hand in greeting and she took it gratefully. This was my cue to step in...
"Red, we have to get going. I need to find Blue."
Red and the "Yellow" girl turned their attention towards me. Red laughed, apparently in understanding, while the Yellow girl studied my face.
"Aren't you...?" She started.
I looked back and said, "Yes... just don't say it out loud."
She smiled and replied, "No problem! By the way... did you say that you are looking for someone by the name Blue?"
I widened my eyes, did she happen to know her?
"Yeah... do you know her?" I replied back.
"Not exactly... but the boy who is my fellow employee said he has a sister who has that name..."
I couldn't believe it. Lady luck was on my side today!
"Green... you couldn't possibly think..." Red started.
"Blue is not a common name, Red," I replied back.
Red hushed up and turned his attention once again the the blond girl next to him.
"What's this boy's name?" I asked.
"His name is Silver."
I widened my eyes even further. I recognized that name! The Silver in the letter, it was her brother! I gawked at Yellow as she proceeded to smile.
"He's working at the shop today. I could take you to him, do you want to follow?" She asked.
I nodded thankfully. It turns out I was going to find Blue sooner than I expected.
...
..
.
We walked into the convenience store casually. Yellow walked up the a fellow worker and said to her, "Hey Lala! Have you seen Silver around?"
This "Lala" girl gave Yellow a weird look and replied, "He's out in the back... why? And did you get the money back from that smelly old man?"
Yellow laughed nervously and said, "Funny you mention that... he refused and that guy over there tried to help me." Yellow pointed towards Red.
The "Lala" girl turned her attention towards Red. Her calm face turned into an evil grin.
"Oh ho ho~! Boyfriend aye? He's quite a looker too! The guy next to him is not bad either! You're like in a reverse harem Yellow~!" "Lala" teased.
Yellow turned ten shades of red until she countered, "He's not my boyfriend! Now if you excuse me I have to go and see Silver! Bye!"
Yellow ran to the backroom. I stood there unmoving. Not knowing if I should follow or stay there.
"You know, you could go back there if you want~!" Lala playfully answered my thoughts. It was weird; like she knew what I was thinking...
I turned my attention to the petite brunette as she said these words. I nodded in understanding and did as she said. I walked into the back room with Red right behind me, and then I saw it.
Yellow was talking the a guy who look younger than I did. He had bright red hair and a smug face.
"So... You're Blue's brother..." I stated more than asked.
He turned his attention to me and narrowed his eyebrows.
"What do you have to do with her?" He asked veniously.
I gave him a serious face and said, "I need to meet with her. You know.. you don't look anything like Blue.."
He seemed to have lift his smug face and replied, "I know you... you're Green Oak. How do you know Blue?"
"Let's just say she worked for me before..."
His expression turned angry once again, "Nonsense. She said she was working in Oreburgh City. I don't know why you would be there."
I slowly examined the situation and said, "Let me guess... she said she found priceless gems and just "happened" to turn rich?"
Anger turned to shock.
"H-How did you...?"
"-She stole something from a rich family. I'm here to get it back instead of the police. I'm not a detective or anything, but in order for her not to go to jail I want to make her return them herself."
He looked down sadly and slowly whispered, "...I thought Blue and I made a promise never to steal again... Nevertheless... I'll take you to her."
I smiled in triumph. Blue was just one step away.
"Just wait Blue... I'm coming for you! I'll save you from whatever made you steal..."
"We'll go to my house... Blue should be home in about an hour..." Silver announced.
