When Nick wakes up, he realizes that Charmy still has her wings wrapped around him.
"Morning Charmy."
She opens her eyes and unwraps her wings. Then, she sits up and helps Nick get his glasses.
"What time is it?"
Charmy picks up Nick's phone and hands it to him.
"4:00!"
Charmy then points to the Translator app. Nick nods, and activates it.
"Nick."
"Yes, Charmy?"
She looks towards the door.
"We should find your friends."
"They are also your friends, you know."
She nods.
"Charmy...is there something else you want to discuss?"
She starts, and turns back around to face him.
"Y-Yea."
Nick takes one of her hands and holds it on his heart.
"What is it?"
"I...I don't want...I don't want to tell Remited and the others, YET, that I confessed my love to you."
"I understand, Charmy. If you don't want them to know yet, I won't tell them."
Charmy then wraps her wings affectionately around him. Nick laughs, and leans his head against her large chest. Charmy blushes at this action, and then proceeds to kiss the top of his head. Nick lets out a giggle, and then proceeds to nuzzle her chest. Then, she pulls him back down on the bed and wraps her tail around him. Charmy proceeds to lean in and kiss her new lover. Nick reciprocates, and when they pull back, he remarks at the warmth from her.
"You are so warm, Charmy!"
She laughs.
"I AM a Fire-type after all."
"Yea, but the Flying-type in you didn't seem to cool you off at all. I could lay here against you all day just because of your warmth."
Charmy laughs heartily, then proceeds to snuggle up against, and occasionally kiss the forehead of, her Trainer-turned-lover.
"It's only 4:00, Charmy. We can sleep for a couple more hours."
Nick slowly falls back asleep, and Charmy giggles once he does. The female Charizard then gently rolls him over on to his back, and then she gets up off the bed. She feels uneasy about something, and walks over to the window. She looks through it, and sees what she is uneasy about. A familiar Meowth-shaped balloon is currently floating around the city. Charmy gently opens the window, and climbs outside. She closes it behind with a slam that makes her wince, but fortunately doesn't wake up Nick. She then flies up towards the balloon, and suddenly a cage just big enough to hold her captures her.
"Hahahaha!"
Jessie laughs as she places the captured Charmy in the back of the balloon's basket.
(I was going to try and send them blasting off again, and now I'm captured!)
Charmy thinks this bitterly. She can barely move. But, she gets an idea. She realizes that she is facing the wall of the Center, and breathes fire through the cage, and onto said wall.
"Hey! Quit it!"
James then rocks the cage, startling her. But, she had accomplished her task. She formed an 'R' of fire on the side of the wall.
(I can only hope Nick understands it.)
She then notices that they aren't going very far, and wishes she had time to draw an arrow pointing to where she knows she will be held.
Nick's Perspective
I wake up and stretch. Then I reach over and grab my glasses from the nightstand. I realize that Charmy isn't next to me.
"Charmy?"
There is no response.
"Charmy?!"
Still no response. So I grab my phone and head out of the room. The Nurse sees me.
"How are you feeling?"
"Really good, but what happened to me?"
"You were hit by two Acid Attacks, which caused you to pass out. We removed the Poison from your body, and left you to get some rest."
"Oh! W-well, thank you."
Then I leave the Center, and am about to head to Remited's home when something catches my eye. I run to the Center's left side, and see the letter 'R' burned in.
(Team Rocket has her!)
I'm so mad, that I then punch the wall. I then wring my hand out from the pain. I head to Remited's house, when I sense Charmy in the Viridian City Gym. I rush in, determined to save my new girlfriend. I send out Skylie to perch on my shoulder so it's harder for me to be taken out of commission. Then, a bright light blinds me, but I keep on running. I see the silhouette of Jessie and James. Then I hear them laughing.
"Skylie! Use Wing Attack on them!"
She flies towards them, and then gets instantly knocked out from a Thunderbolt fired by Wobbuffet. I recall her, then approach them.
"We have your Starter!"
Jessie says this in a sing song voice. I glare at her.
"LET. CHARMY. GO."
"Ooh he's maaad."
She giggles, then motions for James to hit a button. Suddenly, before I can even react, a net captures me, then lifts me up off the ground. I struggle, but I can't even reach my Poké Balls to free myself with my Pokémon.
"Let me go!"
"Eh, no!"
After five minutes of struggling, I give up.
(Remited. Please help me. Please!)
Remited's POV
I am walking back to Viridian's Center alongside the Gym Leaders.
"I hope Nick is fine."
"I'm sure he is, Remited."
"Ok...I'm just worried about him."
Misty nods in understanding. We soon make it to the Center and head in.
"Hello!"
The Nurse greets us.
"Hello, Nurse. Do you know if Nick is awake?"
"He's that Trainer with the Charizard, right?"
I nod.
"He left not long ago. I think he was headed for the Gym."
I jump.
(The Gym? But, we don't even have the 7 Badges necessary to challenge it!)
We leave the Center, and I rush to the Gym to check in my friend.
"Remited! Wait up!"
I skid to a stop and wait for Misty, Surge, and Forrest to catch up.
"Hey, where's Julie?"
"She said she would wait for us in the Center."
"Ok."
We rush into Viridian Gym. It's pitch black. I'm about to send out Pixy when bright light blinds us. When our eyes get adjusted, I gasp. I see Nick and Charmy both being held in separate cages. Well, Nick is in a very flammable looking net, while Charmy is in a steel cage. Jessie and James are laughing maniacs.
"Let my friend go!"
James shakes his head.
"Alright then. Pixy, free him!"
I send her out and she immediately uses Flamethrower to burn up the net holding Nick.
"WOOOAAAHH!!"
She runs and jumps so Nick lands on her back. Then she runs back to me. Nick gets off her back, and I start stroking her chin.
"Great job, Pixy!"
She nuzzles me. Then, I get up as I see Nick running back towards Team Rocket.
"Give me back my Charmy!!"
Suddenly, Jessie pushes a button, and a wall of electricity that stretches from the floor to the ceiling forms. Unfortunately, Nick runs right into it.
"AAAAAAGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!"
Surge then runs towards him while putting on rubber gloves, before pulling him out of the electric wall. Nick is now twitching constantly, and his hair is standing on end. I send out Zenny.
"Zenny, can you gently soak Nick in some water?"
Zenny nods, and spews our a weak Water Pulse that allows Nick's hair to fall back down. His twitching also decreases drastically. Jessie and James both laugh.
"Foolish boy! If you want your Starter back..."
Surge helps Nick back to his feet, and together they walk back to us.
"...then you will need to get all the other Gym Badges. Then you can fight us! And if you win..."
Nick bares his teeth in anger.
"...not only will you receive the final Badge..."
I put on Nick's shoulder to keep him from running towards the wall of electricity.
"...we will also free your Charizard and Blue's Blastoise!"
We all gasp.
"H-how did you get his Blastoise?!"
Meowth appears and laughs.
"Da twerp shouldn't have left his Blastoise out while he was asleep!"
Misty sighs.
"Of course Blue would get complacent. Oh well...FINE. We'll play your game! Come on guys, we have a lot of work to do!"
We leave the Viridian Gym to discuss our next course of action at the Center...
