AN: Well, this would have been up yesterday, but wasn't because FF is run by simians. So, it's up today instead. I most likely wont be able to update next week due to my end of symester work load, but if I can I will.
LII: Out Of Goldenrod
"Oh my God." Michael moaned. I just smirked.
"Yeah, I have that effect on people." The bed sheets were loosely pulled around my body and draped over Michael's. His left arm was under my head, and he was starring up at the ceiling, mouth agape.
"Oh my God."
"You'll be saying that for a while." I said. "Your warm you know." Michael just nodded. "We'll need to decide how we're going to do this. You know I'm horny, I know you are also, I may need you to service me in some inappropriate situations."
"Like what?"
"Being in an elevator, or in a bathroom, sometimes I might grab you and pull you behind a bush on the side walk."
"…Really?" I smirked.
The next day came after another three orgasms. Your mother will explain later. Me and Michael were the only ones who still had stuff in our hotel room, so we grabbed our stuff and prepared to check out. I was leaning against Michael as we rode the elevator down.
"I don't think I can stand up." I said with a grin. "You should very proud of yourself."
"What are we going to tell the others?"
"Hmm. You rode me bare back for so long I thought I was going to pass out."
"…Not about that." Michael said, surprising a grin. "Though we probably should keep that quiet. Advertising your sex life is usually not a good idea. No, what I meant was, we still haven't told them about you being attacked twice. We didn't tell them the first time for God knows what reason other then we didn't want them to be afraid they'd be in danger."
"More then that." I said. "I was afraid Charlotte might leave, and not pay for this trip for us."
"Always thinking of others." Michael mumbled. "Well, we need to tell them this time. If Charlotte or Desiree, or God help me, even Virgil got hurt because someone is stalking you, and you didn't tell them, would you be okay with it? I wouldn't." I shrugged.
"I dunno." The elevator doors dinged, and me and Michael walked out. Immediately, we were ushered off to the side by a police officer. Before I could ask why, I could see why.
The elevator beside us was open, and a stretcher was being pulled out. On the stretcher was a black body bag, a dead person, again where I was. I felt my legs go weak, but Michael held me up right. Their were people all around us, crowded off to the side, saying things but I didn't understand them. All I could see was somebody dead, another dead person where I was.
It was only fifteen more minutes before me and Michael could leave. The police questioned the crowd, and me and him were among the first ones questioned. I spoke for both of us, we'd been screwing all last night, never left our room, didn't know anything. They didn't question us any more and moved on.
The two of us got in the (long) line to the check out counter. Their was a lot of noise coming from the counter, arguing, yelling, I didn't care. I was shaken by what I'd seen.
"I-I don't understand, someone died." I whispered. Michael just nodded. He was shaking also.
"It's…Angela, it's got nothing to do with you. For once, it has nothing to do with you, just remember that. It's not your fault. It's just a coincidence, remember that, all a coincidence." I nodded.
"I know. It still upsets me Michael. It just feels like death is always following us, like if I turn around I'll see it behind me, waiting for me. Oh God, if anything happened to someone in our group I don't know what the hell I'd do."
"Nothing has though Angela. It'll be alright." I smiled and nodded. We didn't say anything for another thirty minutes as we stood in the non-moving line. My legs were starting to hurt when it finally did move, and we made it to the front.
Michael turned in our key, but the guy at the counter said someone had dropped a letter off for us. He walked off and quickly returned with an envelope with Angela Duncan and my room number written on it.
"Uh, thanks." I put it in my pants pocket, no point in reading it now, and we headed off.
It was bright outside, bright when we finally made it up to Anna's room in the pokemon center. Anna and the other pokemon were sitting around talking about irrelevant stuff, Charlotte and Desiree sitting across from them watching, and Virgil standing in a corner like a fucking golem.
"Hey guys, we're back." I said, slowly walking in. Everyone looked up with various greetings, I walked over to Anna.
"Angela! They said I'm going to get out of this metal trap today." Anna said. I smiled and nodded.
"Yep, finally out. You'll look so much better without leg braces."
"I think she looks great with them." Gabriel said. He was laying with his head on Anna's stomach.
"You know pervert, this is what I think of your opinion." I picked up Gabriel by his left leg, much to his and Anna's dismay. Gabriel swung up to try and bite my wrist, but as he did I tossed him at Michael. "Michael, in coming!"
"Huh?" Michael turned just in time to see a shocked and kicking Gabriel bit him in the face. Michael screamed, tumbled into Charlotte, Desiree, and Iggy (on her head) and knocked them over. Iggy was apparently annoyed by this, and I watched as his antenna lit up and all five of them were electrocuted. Iggy shut the juice off and an unconscious Gabriel slipped off Michael's face.
"That was awesome." I said with a grin. Anna said nothing, just looked at the mass of squirming, slightly crispy, people.
"You know, stuff like that used to surprise me. Now it surprises me more when those things don't happen."
"Lady Angela, I must ask you something." Darheel walked over to me. "If Ms. Anna is released from the shackles that are binding her, shall we take our leave of this city. I must confess my duress Lady Angela, though as a human you would expect me to be comforted by buildings, I do find myself longing for the forests and trees." I paused, trying to decode what Darheel had just said.
"Couldn't you have said all of that without giving a speech?" I asked. "Yeah, we're leaving, don't worry." Darheel nodded. The Worthless Rejects on Anna's bed cheered at this, Saya included.
"Yes, no more city! Please get me to some water." Saya whined. I looked at her, eye-brow raised. "What? I may be tough as shit, but some times I need to be in water, and I haven't in three weeks! I want a river!"
"I'll get you too a river." I said with a smirk. "Relax. It's going to be a long journey too Ecruteak City. We've got too routes, and a national park. Wonder if we should stop there, what do you think Michael?"
Michael made a gargling noise, and tried to push himself back onto his feel. He failed and collapsed on Charlotte.
"I'll assume that's a yes. Well, we'll be out of here as soon as Anna is out of here." Michael finally stood up, and stumbled over to me, Gabriel draped across his shoulder.
"Uh, that's not all guys." Charlotte and Desiree had made it back into their chairs. Virgil was behind them after helping them up. "Angela has something to tell you."
"No I don't." Michael coughed. "Nothing happened last night, well me and Michael fucked, but that's not really surprising."
"I knew they had sex!" Desiree exclaimed, "My sex powers are never wrong."
"Wow, we spent all night in here watching the pokemon and you used our room to boff?" Charlotte asked. "We spent all night in here! I ate dinner out of a vending machine while you two screwed. So…was it any good?" Michael was now beet red, but still didn't say a word.
"Th-That is not the point." Michael said. "Angela you've got something else to tell them right?"
"Nope, just the sex." Michael fake coughed again. "We did it all night long and slammed the bed against the wall so hard that we left dents in the wall." Michael coughed again, and I hit him in the throat with my elbow. He fell to his knees, coughing yet again, this time for real. "Oh, I'm sorry Michael, did I hit you in the neck? Well, maybe it'll fix your cough." He stood up again.
"Alright, guys Angela was attacked by a lunatic in a yellow robe yesterday." Everyone began to say something, "The problem is, this is not the first time it happened, but the second. Both times someone in yellow jumped her, both times they did something to force her to fight them mentally. Or something, Angela can describe this a lot better then I could." Now they were all looking at me, except Virgil. I sighed.
"Alright, this is a long story. Remember how I once mentioned the Titans? When I pulled that Haunter out of Desiree's brain? Well, I've got to go all the way back to the begining to explain the Titans."
About an hour passed. A nurse had told us they'd be along to release Anna soon, but I barely noticed, I was too busy talking.
"So I was out getting a soda, when the guy in yellow attacked me. I mean, this was normal for me, but what wasn't was all these red lights, and everything going red so I couldn't see where I was. Well, I was in what I thought was a desert/torture chamber, but it wasn't, it was me and Peccavi's mind."
"Who is Peccavi?" Charlotte asked.
"They guy in yellow, try and keep up. Anyways, our minds fought with magic energy Pokemon suites of armor. We hit each other, I broke his, and then I hit his mind which broke it! Essentially, beating him rendered him brain dead or something, I don't care. Anyways, the next day Not Meowth took me into Eternity through a pool to talk to me."
"And Not Meowth is the bad one right?" Charlotte asked.
"I think Meowths are evil." Desiree said.
"Can't trust a Meowth." Saya said.
"No! Not Meowth isn't evil, that's Not Milotic, duh."
"Right, how could I forget?" Charlotte asked, "Your stellar naming skills make them each stand out."
"Whatever. Anyways, he took me to meet his leader the Supreme Titan who gave me this tattoo." I rolled up my sleeve to show how far up it went. "Anyways, he said it'll let me go into peoples heads, I told you about that before. I probably should have told you this then."
"I didn't want to know." Charlotte mumbled, "My head hurts."
"Kay, well like I told you then, the Titans gave me this, and I didn't know then what they are and I don't know now. After that, didn't really have any more run ins with the guys in yellow robes, until a few days ago when Faceless attacked me. Do NOT ask me to explain that nickname, it's a long story. He attacked me and tried to strangle me, so I broke his mind. Then Not Milotic showed up to spout lies to me, and then I woke up. So, that's everything that happened between me killing myself and right now."
Everyone was silent, though for Virgil that was normal, the rest it was odd. Even Michael had nothing to say.
"Hello! I hear there is a Grovyle ready to get her legs back!" On that sing-song note, a nurse walked into the room carrying what looked like a socket wrench. I just pointed at Anna, who was also silent and mouth agape. The nurse walked over with a fake smile and went to work.
After about five minutes the nurse had disassembled the metal riggings. Anna's legs were on the bed, but she still hadn't said anything. The nurse said a few more annoying things and left.
"So Anna" I walked up to her, "How does it feel to have your legs back?" Anna paused.
"It uh, it feels good. So, you once went to an alternate reality where Michael was a Grovyle? You owned another Grovyle aside from me!"
"Not the point Anna." Michael came up beside me.
"I assume even Anna is confused by these events?" Michael asked, "You mentioned some even I don't remember."
"Yeah, don't know why. Anyways, Anna's legs are good, so can we leave now?"
We did just that, leaving the Pokemon center, and heading out of Goldenrod. Fun fact, Goldenrod is fucking huge, being the second largest city on Earth (though it was the largest at the time). By the time the sun was setting, we were just outside of Goldenrod. As in, seven feet outside of the city limits.
"Couldn't we have walked further?" Desiree asked.
"Nope, to tired." I said, opening a soda. Michael had just walked into the gas station across from us to get them.
We had a fire going and Anna was sitting in front of it, with me behind her. I stroked the leaf on the back of her head.
"So, you feel good being back on your own two feet?" Anna nodded.
"I am, my legs feel strong again and they don't hurt. That's…good. I liked the story of your life, but people are attacking you. Angela, I wont let them."
"Anna—"
"I mean it. They don't scare me, I'll fight them if you need me to. I'll protect everyone if you need me to, I'm not scared of them. Even if it means my legs get broken again, or something worse happens, I'll protect you. Darheel and Saya would do the same, and maybe Emily would too. Tell us if someone is going after you, we'll protect you and make them afraid to come back!" I smiled.
"I know you will. Thanks Anna." We didn't say anything else, just sat in silence and watched the fire.
