Chapter 15: a midnight battle
I woke up to the sound of whispering, I looked out the ipwindow and saw the men who attacked Alen sneaking around the garden. They were surrounding Alen by the training ground. I creeped out the window and into a nearby tree. He was defending himself with the spoon easily, but didn't notice them steaming around behind him. They jumped out, but before they could attack I sent out a flurry of aura spheres repelling them. He quickly saw me and gave a slight smile. I jumped to his back, assuming a close combat stance. "couldn't sleep?" he teased.
"not seeing you out here alone."
They decided to switch out and sent out a nidoking and queen along with a kangaskan. I quickly used a forcepalm on the queens stomache making her fall back and distract the king. Alen easily slapped it on the head with the spoon, but was hit by the blunt force of kangaskan's comet punch. I left kangaskan to him, while I began using extreme speed to quickly dispose of the trainers. Once they were beaten and fled Alen rejoined with me and we went back inside to see a scared Bessa and Alice, while Alex was checking to assure they had left.
"what was that?" Bessa questioned.
"I though giovani had died, but as it seems, he's still commanding team rocket."
"team rocket?"
"a organization trying to stop all the trainers I've been searching for. They hate the idea of anything being equal to the human race. They believe if I work for them, they can beat any opponent, so I have been hunted for years. I normally move from place to place, but I've grown attached to this place."
We were all silent, until Bessa spoke up, "I think I speak for all of us, when I say you are always welcome here. As long as you want to stay, this will be your home. He began to tear up, but before he could continue a pink head popped up from behind the door. "mew?"
It lazily floated around the door circling Alen occasionally saying "mew" then it was surrounded in bubbles and disappeared.
We all looked at Allen stunned. "her name is mew, I was created from her, and everywhere I go shes always there. She seems to randomly pop up, but I can never tell if it's her because she uses transform. She confuses me, she's the only person I've ever fully trusted other than lucky."
We all decided not to worry about it and went to bed, Alen gave me a quick "thanks" before going into his room, and me and Alice went to ours. We crawled into bed and I wrapped my arms around her as we fell asleep.
