'Sarah's voice'

(my thought)

"Conversation"

I started to cry as I saw the horrible image in my head of the boy who was murdered. I then remembered that Sarah was injured badly. "What happened to Sarah will she be ok?" "Well since you murdered that boy she will probably be released depending on what the judge decides…Sam why would you do such a horrible thing?" "He started it! At first he attacked me but when he couldn't land hits on me he went for Sarah….And-and-and then h-" "Well save it Sam…I don't want you mad when you see the judge, besides there's a camera in every hallway so we will see if your innocent." We reached the prison and I went through an inspection. They took the pokeball that had Jasmine away. I was then escorted to a prison cell. "You will wait here until the judge is ready to see you." I walked to the bed and thought about Sarah. (I wonder if she will be ok….She looked horrible…)

After 2 hours the guard unlocked the cell and told me to follow him. When we entered the court room there was several people sitting in rows of chairs. "May the defendant take his seat." I did as the judge told me to. I was really nervous with all the people staring at me….and if I failed I could lose Sarah! "Now tell us why you violently killed that young boy." I took a deep breath to try and calm myself down. "Well I was on my way to the cafeteria to get away from my friends. When I cut the corner he bumped me and teased me about my Kirlia being my girlfriend. Kirlia then tried to protect me when she saw the insult he said to me was upsetting me. I told her to stand back because I originally didn't want to get in trouble. " "So it's your Pokemon's fault?" "No sir you didn't let me finish."

"Ok continue." "When she bulked up to protect me he said another insult, he said "It's pretty pathetic when your "Girlfriend" has to protect you." I didn't like what he said to I defended myself with insults toward him." "So you provoked him?" I started to get annoyed that he was interrupting me so often. "No sir, please let me finish." "I'm sorry go ahead." "He didn't like what I said to him so he tried to hit me, I avoided It by taking a step back. He tried to hit me again and that's when I fought back." "So you kill him for throwing two munches!?" "No! Please let me finish sir!" He glared at me for getting an attitude with him. "His friend joined in and tried to fight me too. I was winning the fight until he grabbed my Kirlia, when he did this she screamed so I was distracted. His friend held me in a full nelson, while I was held down he slammed my Kirlia's head in the ground repeatedly and hit her in the face. He then slammed her head really hard on the ground to where everyone could hear the sound of it. When I saw that he was about to do it again is when I blacked out…."

"So you don't remember what happened after that?" "No sir all I remember is seeing him getting ready to slam her head on the ground. After that I saw him dead in front of me." "Do you have evidence to prove what you say?" Then Officer Jenny spoke up. "Yes sir there are cameras in the hallway." "Do you have the CD from it?" "Yes we do." She gave the CD to the judge and he played it. When I saw what happened when I blacked out I was stunned….what I did was inhuman. Everyone else was shocked to. After he saw after he saw me break the boys arm and pull the bone out he stopped the video. "I have seen enough, I would have gone crazy if someone was hurting my pokemon that way to. I name the defendant innocent!" I was relieved to hear this but I wanted to see if Sarah was ok. "Is it ok if I get a ride to the Pokecenter to check on my pokemon?" "Yes officer Jenny will take you." She handed me Jasmines ball and took me to the Pokecenter. When we got there I thanked her and ran inside. I immediately went to the counter where nurse Joy was at. "Do you know where my shiny Kirlia is?!" "Yes follow me I will take you to her." She led me to the emergency section of the Pokecenter. When we I went to the room were Sarah was I broke in to tears. She was covered with bloody bandages and was breathing heavily. I went to Sarah's bed side and started to mumble through my tears. "I'm so sorry I couldn't get to you sooner!...I'm so sorry…" Nurse Joy patted me on the shoulder. "She will be fine she just needs time to recover." I nodded then went outside to call my mom. "hey Sammy what's wrong?'

"It's Sarah…she's in the emergency room at the Pokecenter…"

"What!? What happened!?"

"A bully beat her severely…"

"Well did you kick his ass!?" I was surprised at what she said. I didn't want to tell her the truth but I had no choice.

"Well….he's dead…..I had to go to court….the judged named me innocent when he saw the video…"

"…..well I'll be there at 5:37 to drop you off some food.."

"Ok mom…I'll see you then…" After I hung up I saw nurse joy looking at me with a sad face. "I saw what happened on the news…." "it was on the news?!" "Yes..." She looked sad and scared when she lookd at me. "I know….I'm a monster…" "Well I'm not saying what you did was wrong but you need to restrain yourself next time." I nodded and went to Sarah's room. I went to her bedside and held her hand. "I'm so sorry I couldn't protect you….I'm so sorry….." I left the room and went outside to let Jasmine out. When I let her out she stretched and yawned. "Hi daddy!" "Hey Jasmine are you happy to be out of your ball?" "Yes! I love fresh air." "I'm sorry that I don't let you out of the ball very much, I promise I'll let you out of the ball as much as possible."

"Ok!" She smiled and hugged my leg. "Where is mommy daddy? " I didn't want to tell her the truth, I'm afraid she won't take it well. "She's at Donny's house." "When will she be back?" "Soon Jasmine…soon." My phone then started ringing. "Hello?"

"I'll be at the hospital in five minutes."

"Alright I'll see you in a bit…" Alright Jasmine wait in the lobby I'll be right back, mom just wants to drop me off some food." She nodded then went inside the Pokecenter. When I saw mom drive in all the sadness hit me all at once. When she got out of the car I ran to her and embraced her. I don't know what came over me I just started crying uncontrollably. "M-m-mom sh-sh-she looks horrible….it's all my faul-" "Don't ever think it's your fault for even a second." We stood there embracing each other for what seemed like hours. Then finally she broke the silence "She will be ok…she will fight to live because she loves you." I then felt a tug on my pants followed by whimpering. I turned around to see Jasmine crying holding on to my pants. "I dont know why you're crying bt please dont cry…..just please don't cry please." I picked her up and smiled. "I know, it's all going to be just fine since you're here for me." She smiled and hugged me around my neck. "Where is mommy really at?" "In the emergency room in the Pokecenter…." "Well that's why we're here." "Well Sammy I have to get back to work here's your food I'll be back in the morning to bring you breakfast." After she said that she went to her car and headed to work. "Come on Jasmine let's go see Sarah." When we got to her room I held her hand and waited for any sign of her waking up. Jasmine was in the chair on the other side of the bed asleep. Soon after I also drifted asleep.

(SARAH'S POV)

I looked around and saw nothing but white. –Where am I?- Then a figure completely engulfed in light spoke to me. "You my friend are in the Land Of Gods." "Land Of Gods? That can't be! I'm dead!?" "Don't get carried away young one you're just in a coma." "Who are you?" the blinding light around the figure faded revealing who I was speaking to. "I am Arceus." I bowed in respect. "I'm sorry if I offended you my lord." "There is no need for apologies. I have important information for you so listen closely. Pokemon and humans can never live together as one.'' "What why? People do it all the time."

"I don't mean as friends or family….I mean as a couple." I was surprised at what he said "Wait what makes you think that is his intention?" "I don't, If I thought it was his intention I would speak to him….but it's you." After hearing this I began to blush. "Wh-what makes you think I have those kind of intentions?!" "Sarah I am the creator of all pokemon…I can read your mind and nature." -I don't see why we can't be together! I mean it's our life and our choice!- "Don't get the wrong idea Sarah, what you intend to do is forsaken, not aloud. I know it's your life but there are things I just can't allow." "But why cant we! What is so bad about me being in a relationship with a human?!" "That I cannot tell you, this will be your first and last warning." After he said this the light started fading until I awoke in a white room.

I saw Sam asleep slouching in a chair with Jasmine asleep in his lap snuggling with her arms around his waist. Sam's hand was on her head and she was smiling in her sleep. –that sneaky little bitch…well now I know how she really feels for him.- I looked out the window and saw that it was dark out. Next to me I saw Sam wake up.

*SAM'S POV*

"SARAH YOU-'' I then realized that Jasmine was asleep on my lap. I tried to be as quiet as I could so I wouldn't wake Jasmine up. "How are you feeling Sarah?" 'I've been better….' "I'm sorry I couldn't get to you sooner…if I had kept my mouth shut you wouldn't be in this state…" 'It's fine it was my fault…if I hadn-' "no…don't even think it was your fault for even a second…No matter which way you look at it all fingers are pointed to me…" Awkward silence went on for a while until Nurse Joy walked into the room with scissors. "It's time for her bandages to come off." I looked at her and held my finger to my mouth trying to signal her that Jasmine was sleeping. She nodded and went to Sarah. She clipped one bandage and started unwrapping it off her face slowly. "Well it looks like she has made a full recovery in only four days." I heard Jasmine wake up. She was rubbing one eye while stretching. The movement she did made me uncomfortable. She looked up at me with one eye closed and the other half way open. "Hi daddy did you sleep well?" "Yes I slept fine, look who's awake.'' Jasmine then looked at Sarah and smiled. "MOMMY!" Jasmine jumped onto the bed and hugged Sarah. 'Hey Jasmine how have you been?' Jasmine jumped back to my lap. "Great!" she then looked at Jasmine smiling awkwardly 'I can see that.' Jasmine blushed then smiled deviously as she hugged me. "He's very comfortable by the way." Sarah's then became very mad but she just smiled deviously back and said 'Yes I know I sleep with him every day." Jasmine frowned and hugged me close. "I have too for the past four days." 'I'm warning you Jasmine.' Jasmine then hugged me closer "Daddy! Mommy's being mean to me!" Nurse joy giggled and walked out of the room.

'Sam was I really out for that long?' "Yes you were badly hurt…." 'And you stayed by my side the whole time?' "Of course I did….I lo-" I stopped myself before I could say it. (Why would I say that!? She is a pokemon! Nothing more…nothing less) 'What were you about to say?' "Oh I was going to say I longed for you to wake up." 'Oh ok. –Darn he almost said it…..but why won't he?...-' I saw that Sarah became sad and decided to try to figure it out. "What's wrong Sarah?" 'Oh its nothing….When can we go home?' "I'll ask Nurse Joy." I left the room to find Nurse Joy, I found her behind her desk on her computer. "Hey nurse joy when can we leave?" She is ready to go whenever." "Alright thanks." I got my phone out to call my mom so she could pick me up. "Hey mom Sarah woke up and she's ready to go home." "Oh that's great! Well I will be there in five minutes." After she hung up I went to Sarah's room to get her ready to leave.

When I opened the door to tell her she was ok to leave Jasmine suddenly jumped on me "Hi daddy!" "Hey Jasmine why are you so happy?" I saw her look towards Sarah and smile. "Oh nothing I just wanted a hug." "Why didn't you just hug Sarah?" "Because I love you daddy." "I love you to Jasmine." "You mean it?!" "Well of course I do, you're like a daughter to me." "Oh…" her ears then fell to her head. "What's wrong Jasmine?" "I don't want to be your daughter.." I can't see where she's going with this. "Well what do you want to be?" After I asked this I saw Sarah glare at Jasmine, Jasmine then frowned and said "I'll be fine with being your daughter." "Well mom will be here soon so let's go ahead and head to the lobby." They both said ok and we headed down stairs. Mom wasn't here yet so I sat down in one of the chairs to wait for her arrival. Sarah hoped in my lap and Jasmine climbed to my shoulder and hugged my neck.

While we were waiting a girl ran in cradling a baby Absol that appeared to be hurt. "Nurse Joy Absol's hurt!" "Calm down and tell me what happened." "We were attacked by a group called Team Rocket!" "Well she isn't severely hurt however she is paralyzed." "So she will never be able to walk?!" Nurse joy just giggled "No sweetie I can heal her and if you're not near a Pokecenter then buy paralyze heal at a pokemart." The girl sighed in relief "well that's good to hear!" "I'm going to put her in the machine, could you give me her ball?"

"Ball?" Nurse Joy sighed "When did you get this pokemon?" "I found an egg one day when I was walking in a field." "How much do you know about pokemon?"

"Well…nothing." Nurse Joy sighed again "Alright well wait here I'll get the clipboard." After a while Nurse Joy came back with a clipboard "Here is the sign in sheet." "Will I always have to do this?" "No it just shows who your starter pokemon is." "Ok" The girl signed the paper and was given a pokeball. "Alright Absol will be healed in a sec just take a seat." It wasn't till she started walking towered me when I realized how pretty she was. She had blue eyes, brown hair with blond streaks and had a velvet blue dress. I must have been blushing because when she looked at me she giggled. "Can I sit next to you?" "um y-yea" "Hi my name is Jackie ." She reached out to shake my hand. "Hey my names Sam." When I reached out to shake her hand Sarah grabbed my hand and pulled it away. "It looks like your pokemon doesn't like me." "I can't blame her she was put in here by a human." "Oh well what happened?" I held Sarah close "I don't want to talk about it…" "Oh ok. How long have you been a trainer?" "Four years." "That's so cool! How do you like being a trainer?" "It's cool." "That's it? Isn't it fun traveling?" "Well I don't travel." "Why not!?" "I'm not allowed." Really I haven't even asked my mom if I could go on a journey.

"Oh well that sucks I was going to ask you if you wanted to travel with me since i have a pokemon now." "No I won't allow him to travel." My mom walked in and gave me a hug. "Hey Sammy how are you?" "Oh Sarah's fine thanks for asking."

"Well Sam I'll give you my number." "O-ok." (I am so happy that I am getting a pretty girls number!) 'Why is it such a big deal!' I could see Sarah frowning at me. "Why wouldn't it be?" She frowned and hugged my neck. 'You already have one…' "What do you mean?" 'Don't play dumb I know how you feel.' "Well good." 'So you love me?!' "Well ya your my little sis." 'Never mind Sam…' "I don't understand you sometimes…"

Jackie looked at me funny "Do you tend to talk to yourself?" "Oh I'm not Sarah can talk to me with telepathy." "Which one is Sarah?" "Oh I haven't introduced them yet have I? Well this is Sarah and this is jasmine." "Oh wow there so cute!" Jasmine smiled "I know, I'm so adorable." "This one can talk?!" "Ya she can, isn't it cool."

"Come on Sammy I want to get home soon it's past your bedtime." Sarah then jumped on my shoulder. "Well you better get back to your mother, call me." "Ok!"

When I got home I released Jasmine and went to my room and jumped in bed. "Finally I can sleep in a bed!" Jasmine ran and jumped in bed with me. "Sam can I sleep with you tonight?" "Well I don't know let me ask, Sarah can she?" She turned around and started walking off 'Ya why not you like every girl equally!' "What do you mean?" 'I don't want to talk about it!' She walked out the room then the door slammed behind her. I turned to look at Jasmine "Well it looks like your sleeping with me." "Yay I can finally be close to you!" "You're always close to me." "Yes but now I can be really close…" "I'm not even going to try to understand what you're saying. I'll be right back I'm getting in the shower."

*SARAH'S POV)

-I can't believe how naïve he is! Why can't he see how I feel…or how any girl feels!? How dare that girl flirt with him. No….how dare he flirt back!- I must have looked mad because Sam's mom stopped me "What's wrong Sarah?" 'Nothing.' "Now when I ask you something you answer." She is so weird…she asked me what was wrong with concern then ordered me to tell her as if I were a pet. Even though I don't want to tell her I have to if I don't I will be in deep trouble. 'It's Sam he doesn't understand girls at all!' "Well he has never dated before or had a girlfriend so he has no experience." 'Wait he has never had a girlfriend?'

"Nope not that I'm aware of, he has never asked a girl out before." Wow I can't believe he's never had a girlfriend. "Why are you so angry about him not understanding girls?" I couldn't help blushing when she asked me that. "Wait don't tell me…oh god you have a crush on my son!" She seemed furious. 'I-I-I would never like him that way! He is my master…my trainer and that's all he will be.' "All he will be to you or you to him?" What she said made me think, what am I to him really. "I see what I said got to you so that means you do feel for him." I could deny it no longer 'Yes I do…I love him.'

She just sighed "Ok well all I can say is he's human and you're not. The moment I see you two go too far you can no longer sleep in the same room as him especially when you evolve." I didn't want to argue so I just nodded my head. "Well good now go back to Sam's room."

*SAM'S POV*

I awoke to the sound of my door opening. I looked to my right and Jasmine was soundly asleep hugging my chest. The door shut and I felt something climb in bed beside me. "Sarah? Is that you?" 'Yes just go back to sleep.' "Sarah…I'm sorry for not understanding your feelings, I will do my best to understand them from here on out." I felt her get closer and kiss me on the cheek. 'It's ok I will always forgive you.' I smiled when I heard her say that. "I'm glad, good night." 'Good night Sam." She hugged my necked and hummed a tune until I drifted asleep.
