Hey guys, I'm back! This chapter will bring back the focus to the two main characters.
Darrith's POV
Oldale Town, 6:30PM
"Come on guys, we've been wandering for hours, let's get something to eat!" I said, mad with hunger, then we hear rumbling, May and Jolene start rubbing their stomachs. "Yeah, let's go to the Pokémon Center" said May, "The Pokémon Center!? I thought the Pokèmon Center is for resting" "Yeah, resting, eating is a part of rest ya'know" said May.
The Pokémon Center, 6:45PM
We walk inside and see a pink haired woman on the other side of the counter wearing a nurse's outfit. "Hey Nurse Joy, hows the kids?" said May, "They're all right, so... How may I help you?" "We need you to heal our Pokèmon for us" "Okay, just put your Pokéballs in this tray" she pulls out a tray from under the counter and May puts 3 Pokéballs and Jolene puts 2. "Ra-Ralts?" said a familiar voice, I look down to see Lucy tugging my sock, "Oh, Lucy! I forgot about you! Look, I need you to go in the ball for me, okay?" I said while pointing the ball in her direction. When the laser was about a centimeter from her, she just disappeared, leaving her ribbon on the ground while a 'DUN!!!' sound was heared, my eyes widened. May and Jolene turned around to look, I was motionless and sweating, then something poked the back of my head, I turn my head to see Lucy, and I swore I saw shaking "ゴゴゴゴ" surrounding her. I tried putting her in the ball again and the same thing happened.
Reader's POV
"You shouldn't keep doing that" said the pinkette nurse, the brown haired boy said "Whad'ya mean?", "Well, on very rare occasions, Pokémon refuse to go inside their balls. It is usually caused by Claustrophobia... "I highly doubt that" thought the brunette with a red bandana to herself, "...so it's best you just put her in the tray with the balls"
Lucy's POV
"Uh... Nurse Joy?" Darrith said, "What is it?" she responded, "I have 4 balls, but this tray has only space for 1 ball left" "Oh! Sorry for the inconvenience" she then proceeds to pull out another tray from under the counter. He proceeds to put 4 balls on the tray, then he picks me up, puts me on the tray with the balls and says "Don't worry Lucy, you're in safe hands". The nurse puts the 5 balls that belong to MAY and JOJO on a weird machine and they spin with a weird sound, after that she gives the balls back to THEM. She then walks towards us, and picks up the tray then saying "By the way Darrith, Lucy will take a minute to be healed since she's outside her ball" She then proceeds to pull the ball on the machine and give them back to him, then she heads for a door labeled in words I cannot understand.
Check-up Room, 6:47PM
"Alright, Lucy, open your mouth and say "Aaah" or in your case "Raaah"" She said, trying to be funny, but I did as I was told. I opened my mouth and she took a pen and pointed it at my mouth, a light came on it. "Wow! You have really healthy teeth You can close your mouth now!". I closed my mouth and she pulls out a weird looking stick with a weird red dot on the bottom. "Lucy, would you kindly put this thermometer in your mouth?", I put it in my mouth and the red dot started to rise up then stops...
Pokémon Center Lobby, 6:52PM, Darrith's POV
"Come on, Darrith. Let's eat, I'm starving" said JoJo, "No! Not without Lucy" I said, "Jeez Darrith, you don't have to yell" said May. We see Nurse Joy opening the door from the Check-up Room, "Here's your Ralts. She's perfectly fine" she puts the tray with Lucy on the counter. I tied the ribbon on her neck, then I picked her up and put her on my left shoulder, "Thanks Nurse Joy!" I said "No problem, we hope to see you again" she said. We then went to the Pokémon Center Cafeteria. While walking, JoJo started a conversation "Huh, I wonder why Nurse Joy said "We hope to see you again"?", May responded with "I don't know JoJo, I think it's..." but before she could finish JoJo YELLED "DON'T CALL ME JOJO!" "Jeez, why don't you want to be called JoJo, I think it's kinda cute actually" "NO IT'S NOT!". The entire conversation went on until we got to the cafeteria...
Pokémon Center Lobby, 7:15PM, After a delicious meal
"Nurse Joy, we would like to get a room please" said May, "Here you go, Room 9" "Thanks Nurse Joy!" "Glad to be of service. And have fun, but not too much fun" After that, we head to our room.
Room 9, 7:20PM, May's POV
We get to the room, we see 2 beds with Pokéball designs, the right one is next to the bathroom, while the left one is next to a small table with a phone that resembles a pink Pokémon I don't know. Darrith and Lucy quickly ran to the bed next to the bathroom "Dibs!" "Ralts!" they said while slamming their bodies on the bed. I did the same thing but with the other bed "Dibs!" I with my body on the other bed and JoJo said "Where am I supposed to sleep!?" "You know, you could sleep on the floor" I said, "What!? The floor! Yucky! I'm not sleeping on the floor, are you insane!?" She walks to Darrith, who was sitting on the bed and begs "Darrith, please let me sleep next to you!" "What? No! That's weird. After that she walks to me and begs "Oh come on May, let me sleep with you" "Okay, fine you crybaby". After that, Darrith says "So, who's going to the bathroom first?" "I'll..." but before JoJo could finish, I interrupted her "You go first, we'll be fine" "Okay" he then turned to Lucy and said "Is it okay if you wait here for a moment?", she said "Ralts!" while nodding her head. He heads for the bathroom, closes the door and starts to run the water. I found the right opportunity to conduct my secret plan "All according to plan" I whispered to myself, "Wait, what plan?" said JoJo, I flinched, but I explained to her the secret plan, so secret that you, the reader, didn't even know about "You see, I have to talk to Lucy about her affections for Darrith" "Pfft! What makes you think that she likes him?" "I don't think it's true, I know it's true". After talking to JoJo, I head for Lucy.
Lucy's POV
As I lie down, thinking about Darrith, MAY starts talking to me, "Hey Lucy, I have to talk to you about something" she said, but I just turned to face the bathroom, ignoring her, but she continued "Lucy, I know that you like Darrith" the moment she said it, I froze in shock, "I'm not trying to steal him away from you, I'm just letting you know" after talking she goes back to JoJo and they start talking. Then, I start to fall asleep.
