Floret's POV
I was awake now but didn't want to open my eyes. It was still so comfortable to lie on such a soft and bouncy land again. It was like the one that Tom put me on in the other city. I started to think about the unusual activity happening within me. I seemed to be drooling often since morning. During in the battle, I was still drooling but I ignored that. The others might have not noticed because they were too focused on the battle. But as expected of Pain, she always tried to protect the weak one. I had to put that aside now since the drooling worried me more. What was wrong with me? This got to some kind of symptom for a disease but I didn't eat anything spoiled or I didn't do anything dirty. I hated being dirty...
I now slowly opened my eyes. My vision was blurring and a figure was looking at me. The blur faded slowly. I screamed slightly and jumped as it was the ugly and scary face of Lightning that was looking at me. I was right. I was in the same room and on the same kind of bed again. But this time, I was in the room with this jerk!
"Don't do like that again. We are chained here." He said and I scowled. I hated to be "chained" again with this idiot. But I noticed that this time, the chain was much shorter than before, which minimized my freedom now. I drooled again and wiped my drool with my paw.
"Is that drool?" Lightning asked with a slight concern in his tone and I nodded.
"Well, anyway, here look at this." Lightning said and he took a sheet of paper from behind him and showed me. It was not an ordinary paper but a paper with a drawing on it. It was a roughly sketch picture of me which somehow looked like me but not much.
"Tom drew this for you. Even though he hadn't learned much about drawing, he still did it for you." He said, smiling. I looked away, showing that I did not admire the picture. I was actually lying about it. I still wanted to get away as far as I could. The jolteon seemed to notice this and frowned. He suddenly held my shouldered tightly and forced me to face him.
"Why are you being so stubborn, umbreon?" he said harshly with a forceful tone and I blinked.
"Don't you know who brought you to this pokemon centre? It was Jeffery, Tom and me! Don't you get it? We cared for you and we are your family." He said and I scowled.
"Oh, forget it, jolteon." I snarled back and his expression changed to a misbelieving. He released my shoulders from his paw. I was drooling
"You really are stupid. I thought that I had a sister now but I was wrong." He said, turning away from me, once again my sentimental part was taking over me. I really shouldn't be doing this after all they cared for me. Why was I being soft again? Why? Maybe it was just my nature. I should have known that no matter how I forced myself to be, I would always end up being in normal nature.
"Well, but you are not getting away this time." Lightning turned back to me and said, causing my soft feelings for to fade away. I noted that I was drooling again so I had to wipe it out. I signed.
"I suppose I finally cannot escape with the like of you here." I said, smiling. I had to give up that escape plan now.
"Do you drool often?" he asked, staring at me with concern.
"Well, I don't usually drool. But today is a strange day. I am drooling more often." I said and he suddenly seemed frightened. He suddenly became sweated and stunned with eyes wide opened. I waved my paw in front of his eyes but he didn't react. I placed my paw on his right chest, testing his heart rate which was rapid now.
"Don't touch me!" he snapped, jerking back and I flinched. What was with this stupid theorist now? He seemed to be afraid of me but why?
"Okay.." I said, with a little soft tone. He turned away from me and I could see that his whole body was sweating.
Soon after, Jeffery brought us home and I brought the sketch along since I like it. I kept it with me but Lightning seemed to be in the same strange behavior. He was still sweating. Maybe he was getting sick.
"Are you okay?" I said, putting my paw on his forehead. He didn't have a fear which showed that he was just sweating from fear.
"I am alright. Please don't touch me, Floret." Lightning pleaded and I blinked.
"What was wrong with him? Was it something related to my drooling?"
