Chapter 10: Differences solved.
"What a dump!" Exclaimed a man dressed in a black shirt and blue jeans. He was referring to the room he was in, it was in a dark warehouse, it had been abandoned for many years.
"Shut it, Tabitha." Said a black-haired woman in the room. "Seeing the circumstances, this is best we could do, so quit your whining." She said in and irradiated tone. Just than A red-haired man dressed in a black coat came into the scene.
"Boss!" The man and woman said in unison. Maxie looked at the two in seriousness.
"Is it done?" Maxie asked coldly.
"Yes, boss." Tabitha said gleefully. "There they are." Tabitha pointed across the room to an old man and woman tied up in two respective chairs, their head covered with a bag to prevent them from seeing.
"Good work." Maxie said in the same monotonous tone. "Was there any trouble?"
"Yes, as expected that Birch-boy showed up." Tabitha said in an angry tone. Maxie scowled as well. "I don't get. Who's telling him about our plans? Mary is dead. I don't see how-"
"Tabitha shush." Courtney cut him off. She knew talking about the Maxie's daughter like that in front of him like was disrespectful.
"He's right." Maxie said in the same cold tone. "Mary used to expose our plans to him for which I killed her. We have a reason to be suspicious now, he was at the Space Center and Mt. Pyre."
"But no one is aware of real intentions other than us three." Tabitha said.
"It could be a coincidence, boss." Courtney added. Maxie narrowed his eyes and looked at Courtney.
"Or is it?" Maxie walked up to Courtney and grabbed her by the throat, lifting her from the ground causing her to choke."I know you have feelings for the boy." He said glaring at her. "Tell me the truth, are you or are you not helping him?"
"I'm.. not.." Courtney struggled to say. "I.. swear." Tears tickled down her eyes, she was unable to resist the pain.
"Boss, she was with me the whole time. She couldn't have helped the Birch-boy." Tabitha exclaimed.
"Are you sure?" Maxie said. "Because if you are not, I'll have both your heads." Maxie said as he threw Courtney to the ground. Tabitha took a few steps towards her. "Stop! Don't help her, weakling."
"Yes, boss." Tabitha said in a low voice, looking over to Courtney, who was on the ground coughing repeatedly.
"Where are the orbs?" Maxie demanded. Tabitha tossed over a small sack, which had the red and blue orbs in them
"Now, take these bags off and unbind the man's mouth." Maxie ordered standing in front of the old couple. Tabitha did so.
"What do you want?" The old man yelled. Maxie pulled out the blue orb from out the sack.
"You lied to me, old fool." Maxie said plainly. "You hid something from me. Why didn't this work?" Maxie's voice rose with each sentence. The old man sighed.
"I tried to tell you, you can awake Groudon using the blue orb, but you need the red orb to control it, vise versa with Kyogre." The old man voice trembled.
"In any case I have both." He said putting the orb back in the sack.
"It's not the simple.." The old man voice trailed off.
"What else is there?" Maxie asked with the same tone.
"The legendary beasts choose their masters, there is no guarantee that Groudon will listen to you." The old man said.
"Is there anything else?" Maxie asked.
"No. That's all" The man said.
"Are you sure?" Maxie asked with a wicked smile.
"Yes, I'm sure." The man said nodding.
"Fine, I have no need of you. Kill them." Maxie ordered and left the room.
"Noo.." The man tried to argue back but his mouth was bounded and a gun was placed on his forehead by Tabitha. *BANG*
Tabitha pointed the gun towards the woman, who was on the verge of crying.
"I'm sorry. This will hurt way you more than it will hurt me." Tabitha muttered. *BANG*
It seemed the day had ended in a blink of an eye. Meanwhile in the Lilycove medical hospital, a boy was sitting in waiting room. He was hunched down on the chair were was sitting. He had sat there all day, now it was night and he still didn't move a muscle and he was not showing any signs of getting up soon. He was joined by a chest-nut haired girl, who was his childhood friend and she was getting really worried. She walked towards him with two soda cans in her hands.
"Hey." She said softly, handing him one of the drinks.
"Thanks." The boy said in a low voice and then put the drink on his side.
"Brendan, don't do this to yourself. You haven't eaten anything all day." She said concerned.
"I'm fine, May." He said assuring her. "How is she?" He asked.
"I had talk with the doctor." May said. "They got her wound stitched up but she still has not come to." Brendan looked more glum when he heard that. "She's going to be fine, Brendan, don't worry." May said placing her hand on his shoulder than removing it after Brendan nodded. "Do you want to see her?" May asked after a pause.
"No, I'm good." Brendan said clearing his throat. Than silence remained between the two. May continued sipping her drink.
"You like her, don't you?" May said plainly breaking the silence. Brendan was caught off guard with that statement.
"What do you mean?" He said shocked. "It's been just a few days since I met her. I can't- it can't- it's not possible." He said stammering.
"Brendan." May paused and showed him a smile. "I know love when I see it."
"May.." Brendan's voice trailed off.
"It's obvious Brendan." May paused. "When she got hurt, the only thing you cared for at that time was nothing but her safety. You were so worried that the knife was hurting her, but the truth is, seeing her in pain was hurting you as well, wasn't it?" May asked looking at him. Brendan gave a nod. May sighed. "That's love, Brendan." She said looking away.
"But May, how could I just fall in love? It doesn't make any sense." Brendan said shaking his head.
"I ask myself the same thing." May said looking glum.
"Who do you love, May?" Brendan asked looking towards her. May looked away trying to hide her face.
"You." She muttered. Brendan eyes were now wide open.
"May.. I.." He didn't know what to say.
"It's okay Brendan, I can't force you to fall in love with me." She said looking back at Brendan, tears flowing down her cheeks. "I have accepted the truth." May said getting up.
"May, I'm sorry." Brendan said to his best friend. "Where are you going?" He said following her. She turned to face him.
"You can stay here, if you want. I'm going to check on Dawn." May showed a small smile. "Don't worry, I'm not going to hurt her." She said jokingly. "I just want to apologize to her for picking a fight with her at Mt. Pyre. I think I'll be seeing a lot of her now so better mend our relationship." Brendan smiled when he heard this.
"Thanks May." He said. "And I'm really sorry if I hurt you."
"It's okay, B.B" She said, Brendan tilted his head at the nickname. "I'm fine, I'm a strong girl, I can handle it." She said with a smile.
"I know you can." He said with a smile. May continued to walk and was soon out of sight.
Dawn was sleeping in Room 232. She woke up and was confused at the sight she saw. She was lying down on a hospital bed, tucked in. She was wearing a blue hospital gown.
'Where the hell are my clothes?' She blushed at the thought. She moves a little around the bed, she felt a tremendous pain in her right shoulder-blade. 'Oh, now i remember why I'm here.' She thought placing her hand on her wound. "We'll have to take her to the hospital." May's voice echoed in her mind.
"Chansey." Dawn heard a voice which startled her. She looked over her right and saw a round and pink Pokémon in a nurse's uniform.
"Oh it's just you Chansey." She said relived. "Do you know where my friends are?" She said to the Pokémon.
"Chansey." The Pokémon nodded. Chansey headed out the room. There was silence in the room, than the door opened. The chest-nut haired girl entered the room. Dawn clenches her fists when she saw her, not in anger, but in fear. Dawn looked back to the fight these two had at Mt. Pyre, she knew that she was not safe, looking at the situation. She was already wounded and May could easily take advantage of that. Dawn fidgeted as May got closer. May could see the fear in Dawn's eyes.
"It's okay." She said with a smile. "I'm not going to hurt you."
"What do you want?" Dawn said in a low voice backing away from May. May sighed.
"I came to apologize." May said joining her hands.
"What?" Dawn said confused.
"Look I was wrong in insulting you, truth is I just got a little jealous when Brendan told me he met a new girl. So I'm sorry" May stopped seeing if he had Dawn's attention.
"A little?" Dawn rolled her eyes.
"Maybe, slightly more than a little." May said rubbing the side of her head. Dawn smiled at her.
"I'm sorry I called you a two-faced-" Dawn was cut off.
"It's okay. You don't have to say anything." May said cutting her off. "I'm the one who started the feud." May paused. "So, how are you feeling?"
"I'm not sure, but it could have been worse." Dawn said. May giggled. "So do you plan to stick around?"
"Yeah, from the looks of it, I think you guys will need all the help you can get. So, you don't mind if I tag along with you guys?" May said with a smile.
"Of course not." Dawn said with a smile. "It'll be great to have another girl in the team."
"Yah!" May cheered with a jump. "I think we'll be great friends." She was over joyed. "By the way, if you want alone time with Brendan. You can tell me, I'll you guys alone for a while." May whispered with a wink. Dawn's face suddenly became red.
"Now, what would I want that?" Dawn said with a cough.
"Sure." May said sarcastically. "Don't worry, I won't tell him. I just want to hear it from you."
"Hear what?" Dawn said looking away.
"Oh, don't play dumb with me." May said poking her forehead. "Fine, if you don't want to tell me 'now'. You are free to ask me for advice anytime, because I can help you big time this."
"Advice for what?" They heard a voice behind them. May turned around to see Brendan standing at the door.
"Brendan, when did you get here?" May said surprised.
"Just now, what advice were you giving Dawn?" Brendan asked May.
"Umm.. Nothing.. Ahh." May tried to come up with an excuse. She looked at Dawn than back at Brendan. "Girl stuff?" May muttered. Brendan shivered at the sound.
"Uggh, tell me when you guys are done." He said walking out of the room.
"Wow, can't believe that worked." May said in surprise. Dawn gave out a small laugh.
"Boys, right." Dawn said. Both girls laughed. They followed with a high-five. Dawn pulls back and grabs her shoulder-blade in pain.
"Oww.." She cried.
"You know, you should rest that." May said pointing out the obvious.
"Thanks, I didn't know that." Dawn yelled sarcastically.
"You're welcome." May followed the sarcasm.
"Can I rest now?" Dawn said turning over.
"Sure, I'll be gone." May whispered and tip-toed away. Right before departing, she clenched the doorknob with a sly smile. Than used used all her might and loudly slammed the door and ran off, disturbing Dawn's peace of mind.
"ARCEUS-DAMMIT. DAMN YOU MAY!" Dawn yelled shaking her fist at the door. "Oww.. my shoulder." She cried clenching her shoulder in pain.
Author Notes:
1. Do you think I might be getting out of hand with the violence? I killed two people in this Chapter.
2. You know if I woke up in a hospital wearing nothing but a hospital gown, the first thing I would ask is 'what happened to my clothes?' So don't think I was being perverted. I just based Dawn's reaction on what my reaction would have been.
