Me: HOLY ARCEUS, CHAPTER 25!

Roma: STOP SHOUTING, GHETSIS HAS BEEN YELLING At ME AND NOW I HAVE A HEADACHE! Urgh...*holds head*

Me: Okay, how bout you go lay down.

Roma: I will not be told what to do! I'll go lay down now...

Me: *sigh* hatever. We don't on pokemon, spheal with it.


Roma's POV

Inside, I cringed and was shaking. But on the outside, I tried to remain unaffected, if only for the sake of Stormer. He still though I was unafraid of everything.

"Who is this oddly dressed human, Mistress? And why is he SO LOUD?" Stormer asked, shaking.

Eve, on the other hand, knew exactly who he was and had her ears laid down against her head and was snarling. I knelt down and laid my left hand on Stormer's head and my right hand on Eve's head.

"Eve, cool it. Stormer, this is my grandfather, Ghetsis. Ghetsis," I looked up at him, "This is Stormer, my newest E.S. Eevee friend. Unfortunately, I cannot seem to find his Poke Ball."

Ghetsis glared at Stormer, causing him to scoot closer to me for reassurance. "THERE'S ANOTHER ONE!?" Ghetsis roared, enraged.

I scratched behind Stormer's ear, attempting to calm him down. "Yes, Grandfather," I said, standing up. "Eve found him in Nimbasa and alerted me. He was bleeding and had server injuries on his leg and neck so we took him to a Poke center for extensive treatment. If you like, you can call the Poke Center. They will confirm that is what we were doing for 3 days."

"Oh, and what abut the fourth day you were absent?" he growled.

I smiled sheepishly. "Well, that was my fault. I had wanted to see a Musical or two, being back in Unova, and I dragged them along with me. I'm not sure they enjoyed it too much but I just LOVE Musicals and couldn't resist seeing one." I said.

Ghetsis rolled his eyes and rubbed his temples. Then he just waved us off. "Go to bed, Princess and friend girl. Matt, some of the female grunts have asked for you." he growled, not looking at us.

Matt dashed off. I stood stock-still, not believing we just got off Scott-free. Eva tugged my hand and I snapped out of my daze.

"Thank you, my Lord," I muttered to Ghetsis. He walked off, leaving us alone in the hallway. I bent down and picked up Stormer. Whistling for Eve (There are a few distinctive whistles), we walked towards were my internal map told me our room was.

We entered the room and Eva flopped happily onto her bed.

"IT'S SO FLUFFEH!" she shouted, snuggling the blanket.

Eve snickered and said, "I can't help thinking that Chili would be jealous of that pillow right now." I laughed.

Eva looked at me confused, as did Stormer. I explained to Eva first.

"She said that she couldn't help thinking how jealous Chili would be of that pillow right now." I explained. Then I turned to Stormer.

"I've told you about Cress, right?" I asked.

He raised his lip a little, revealing white teeth. "Yes. I told you that if he ever hurts you, I'll hurt him badly." Stormer said.

I rolled my eyes. "Yeah, kay. Well, Chili is the youngest of the Straition triplets. Originally, they were Gym Leaders. But after having our battles and winning our Badges against them, I didn't want to leave and told Eva I'd go if the triplets did."

I paused for effect. "All of them eventually agreed and we set off. However,"

"Eve took a detour and you had to stop in Castelia for a bit. Then Ghetsis found out and you were captured. Yes, Eve told me that part, Mistress." Stormer informed me.

"Oh, okay," I said. "Well, we've been living here for...umm...a few months, I guess and Cress and I have been going through stupid "royalty training". And I'm pretty sure we both hated it. So, I asked to go to Nimbasa for a short trip."

"Which is where you found me!" Stormer said. I smiled and nodded. Eve laughed.

I glanced over at her. "Look at Eva! HAHAHA!" Eve said.

I ooked at my human travelling partner and saw her looking shocked.

"Still not over how I can talk to Pokemon?" I asked, suppressing a laugh myself.

She scowled. "I'm completely over it! I just wish I could understand what they're saying." she grumbled.

I shrugged. "It's a rare ability." I said noncommittally.

Eva tilted her head to the side. "Why do you call it an ability? That's a rare gift you have there, Roma. Why do you insist on calling it an ability?" she asked, confused.

I frowned. "It's not just a gift. It's a curse as well. I'm not antisocal because I don't like people. I'm antisocial because A) people don't like me and B) I have a past that I didn't want anyone involved in."

Eva smiled. "If that's your form of an apology, then I accept!" she said.

I shook my head. My voice was at a whisper level now. "People that have noticed me or taken pity on me wish they hadn't." I said sadly.

Eva looked confused again. "Why's that?"

"All the people that cared about me ended up horribly injured. Or, more commonly, dead."


Me: Roma, stop overexaggerating!

Roma: *sadface* I'm not, that's the problem.

Me: WHOA...CURSE MY ABILITY TO WRITE DARK CHAPTERS! But please review anyways!
