The next day came around without much going on. Mystic and I were in a field, just training. The other two decided to stay in the city and resupply or whatever.
But that didn't really interest me. I just wanted to train and be ready for what comes next. I decided to let out all my team so they can do whatever in the field. But before we started, I completely forgot to name Fennekin and Vaporeon, though it's been a while since I got them. I decided to name Fennekin Flanite. A name of an ingot forged from lava crystals. And after a lot of name picking, Vaporeon finally allowed me to name him Stealth.
But after that, we began our training, as my other team members enjoyed the nice weather.
And after training on many trees, Mystic wanted to take a break. Walking over, I gently rubbed her head, saying just a few more hours and we'll be completely ready. She nodded and walked to my small camp setup. Walking over to the camp, I sat down with Mystic who was I think chatting with Sav. I just decided to sit back and enjoy the sunshine.
This went on for half an hour, when I got up and walked towards the trees. Looking around, I didn't really know what I was looking for, but I wanted to find something for our next training session. Pretty much grabbing anything I could find, I dragged them to the treeline. Setting them up, I walked towards Mystic, who was laying on the grass. Walking over him, I spoke.
"Well, are you ready for our next training session?" I asked.
She sighed and got up.
We then proceeded to continue our training, commanding Mystic to slice the wooden logs into pieces. This didn't last long, and I saw a difference in her strength. And after getting another couple of things done, I called it a morning. Retrieving all my party, I walked back to the city. Mystic spoke her dislike with using wood as targets, showing me her paws hurt. I admitted it was a little to much, and I'll find something softer to use next time.
We just enjoyed our walk back to the city after that, and soon, we were entering the hotel. I went up to our room and saw that Ruka and Zach was back from their trip. Sitting Mystic down, I went to the fridge and got a water bottle out. Joining Mystic, I gave her it and spoke.
"You two already got what you needed?" I asked.
"Yes. Just basic medical supply and some food for the road." Ruka replied.
"Hmm hmm. We mostly got the sprays for you, since your fighting gyms. Just remember to give your Pokemon a break once in a while." Zach added.
"True, Mystic is worn out with the constant training. Why don't you relax and explore quantum city? It's rather nice here." Ruka told me.
"Guess your right. I just want to be prepared… Seems like these gyms will just get harder as I beat them. But fine, I'll give us a rest." I replied.
They both liked this idea. So I grabbed a few snacks and water, along with Mystic. I did think constantly training Mystic could lead to fatigue, not sure why I had to think about that. So I decided to let Mystic and my other teammates enjoy some time at the beach, since quantum city has a pretty nice beach just by the hotel. But as I was about to leave, I noticed laying on the bed, Electric. Thing that was weird was, he didn't look like his normal energized self. Concern, I had to ask.
"Um, is Electric alright?"
"I… Don't know. He probably just caught a cold or something from being out in that rain. I hope he gets better soon." Zach gently rubbed Electrics side.
"Oh, okay… Well, I'm heading to the beach since you said I should give my team a break. Though Mystic has been my main trainee." I mumbled the last part.
"Alright, have fun then. We'll might join you, but right now… My legs are killing me." Ruka groaned, laying on the bed.
Nodding, I opened the door and went back to the main lobby. Leaving the hotel, I went to the beach. I placed Mystic down, and she began enjoying the small break. Releasing all my Pokemon, they all joined Mystic. With myself, I decided to relax on a nearby bench.
Nothing much went on honestly, just a small relaxing break, and after an hour or two later, I got up and decided to get going since it was getting hot. Calling all my Pokemon back, they enjoyed their fun, and Stealth looked happy, which was surprising. But I called them all back and headed back to the hotel.
Back in the hotel, I saw the two still doing their own thing.
"Back? Enjoy the small load off?" Ruka asked.
"It seemed okay, Mystic liked it also. Maybe I'll do it again." I replied.
"That's good. Well, wanna do something?" Ruka said.
"Not really sure. Maybe just search the city I guess." I said back.
She agreed and got up. Zach decided to stay with Electric, and with that, we walked out. The next five or so hours, we explored every inch of the city. The city was honestly quite nice, and there was a lot of interesting landmarks within. But as it began, it ended, and we were back at the hotel. Tired and wanting to take a small nap, I jumped in my bed and closed my eyes. Mystic routinely climbed on my stomach and fell asleep with me.
A few hours passed, way beyond my planned time, and when I awoke, it was around ten at night.
"Geez, how is it ten already…? Ugh…" I said, getting up.
Mystic was awoken from my movement and groaned in annoyance.
"Sorry Mystic. Didn't mean to wake you up." I quietly said, moving her gently off me.
She just mumbled, pulling the covers over her.
Getting up after Mystic took my spot, I walked to the fridge, grabbed a drink, and walked to the window. Just looking down at the streetlights and seeing a vehicle pass every so often.
"This city is pretty peaceful. Hmm, golden city is noisy during the nights." I said.
"Ah, feel kinda weird not being home. But hey, I'm on my journey to become a champion I guess." I continued.
Drinking my drink, I walked around the room. But as I was walking around the small room, I noticed Electric. He was squirming around uncomfortably, and kept making this heavy breathing. Walking up to him, I crouched down and picked him up gently. He looked up with sleepy eyes, as he couldn't sleep.
"Are you alright?" I asked.
"You're quite hot." I replied, feeling his head.
Walking to the bags on the kitchen counter, I grabbed a bottle of medicine and gave it to Electric. After that, I sat on my bed and gently covered him up. Mystic looked at me, then at him, looking instantly worried.
"It's okay, Mystic. Mind keeping him company? I'll be on the floor, so I won't be going far." I said.
Mystic placed her paw on Electric and looked up. She slowly nodded and laid back down.
Grabbing a spare pillow and blanket, I made a small bed on the ground and fell asleep.
The next morning, I awoke to everyone still asleep. Rubbing my eyes from sleep, I got up and looked to see Mystic had her arms around Electric.
"Guess she cares for him. That's good." I told myself.
It was honestly cute to look at. But after looking at them for a moment, I turned and faced the bathroom. Walking in, I jumped in the shower quickly, did all the morning bathroom stuff, and dressed in clean clothes. I walked out and just did my own things till someone woke up. And that someone was Ruka. She groggily got up and looked at me, then at the floor.
"You do know there's beds here..." She yawned.
"Eh, I was kinda kicked out of my bed by Mystic." I replied, seeing her look at Mystic.
"Wow… Those two are going places. All loving and stuff." She replied.
"I just laid Electric there last night, he isn't looking so good. Might actually gotten a nasty cold." I said back.
"He does look like crap. Well, I'm gonna get cleaned up then I'll be your cook." She said, getting up and into the bathroom.
I just sat on the bed and waited. Ruka then walked out not long later and started making breakfast. Walking over to Zach, I shook him awake. Telling him to wake up and get ready to eat, I went over to Mystic and gently woke her up. She woke up and stared at me.
"Come on, Mystic. Time to eat." I said.
She smiled and quickly got up. And after waiting a few minutes, our food was placed down in front of us. Ruka stood over us and placed her hand on her hip.
"I expect you to make me food next time." She spoke.
"Sure, sure… Anyways, lets just eat and get ready for the day." I replied.
It didn't take two minutes to finish. And I just stared out the window. Mystic joined me moments later after eating too. But my attention was shifted to Zach. He was sitting next to Electric with some food.
"Come on, you got to eat. I thought you like these berries. I got some real food here too, if you want." I heard him.
Electric kept on avoiding Zach with this.
Getting up, I walked to Zach and crouched down to him. I picked up Electric carefully and looked at Zach.
"Maybe take him to a doctor." I said.
"I might…" Zach simply replied.
Giving him Electric, I grabbed my bag and told Mystic to come. Looking down to her, I told her we're going to go explore a bit. She agreed happily and we walked out. Exiting the hotel, I thought of what to do. Thinking a bit, it was nice out. So I just decided to take a walk around the place...
