-Mawile's PoV-
I honestly I don't know who to side with. I want to side with Kirlia, but she's in the wrong. I want to side with Tony but then Kirlia will get mad at me. I'm definitely not good at these decisions.
"I don't like this at all." Braixen said. It's not fair that she's hurting him like this. He didn't do anything wrong."
"I know they always seemed so happy together." Marshtomp said. "I don't think any of us would have seen this coming."
Just then my stomach growled. I got a few weird looks but then almost like a set of dominos, their stomachs all growled as well.
"Um... I guess it is about lunch time." Braixen said.
"You're gonna have to tell him, he can't understand me." I told her.
"Oh yeah, I forgot." Braixen replied with a small chuckle. "Tony! It's lunch time, we're hungry!
He didn't respond. I don't know if he was ignoring us, or if he was really so hurt that he wasn't hearing.
"Ah, forget this." I complained. "I'm going in his bag."
"Are you sure that's a good idea?" Luxio asked.
"Yeah if seen Kirlia do it plenty of times." I told him.
"Yes but she always asked first." He pointed out.
"Look, are you hungry, or not?" I asked annoyed.
"Ok, nevermind." He said now worried a little.
"Yep, thought so." I said laughing a little bit.
So then I went beside him and opened his bag while starting to look through it. It was really organized inside. I was surprised. I then continued to pull out five bowls and then the food. I went and filled all of our bowls. I didn't know what he usually did to measure so I just eyeballed it. Then when I went to put the food back something caught my eye. It was a black case with some slight cushion to it. So I pulled it out.
"Do you guys know what this is!?" I asked shocked.
"I don't." Shroomish said. Nobody else answered.
"It's a case humans use to put jewelry in, usually rings." I said. "They use rings in cases like these to show that they choose you as their mate." With that I opened it.
"This is Gardevoirite on this ring." I was definitely surprised now. I think we all were. "So he got this as a ring to tell her that he wants her to be his mate. He really did love her, and she pulled that crap. I can't believe it."
After that I put it back and we started eating. We pretty much ate in silence because of what we found out. Then Kirlia came over.
"Hey I didn't know you guys were eating." She said. "Why didn't you tell me?"
We all just glared at her.
"What are those looks for?" She asked. "You guys are acting weird."
Without even a second thought, she walked over, went in his bag, and got out her bowl and food.
"I was starting to get hungry and wanted to know when you guys were going to have dinner." She said.
We all just continued to eat in silence.
"Come on guys." She complained. What's going on? Why won't you talk to me?"
"You should know by now." Marshtomp said coldly.
She then started to think for a little bit.
"I got nothing." KIrlia said.
We just shook our heads.
"What's that all about?" She asked.
Just then I pointed at Tony.
"What about him?" Kirlia asked.
"Look at him." I said. "Look at how hurt he is. Look what you did to him. I've never seen anyone that devastated."
She started laughing. "You actually feel bad for him." She laughed. "Wow, well I guess someone has to care about that low-life."
That was the last straw. I went over and smacked her.
"Your nothing but a monster!" I screamed. "You know nothing about human culture, but yet you just destroyed his heart."
With that we all took our bowls and moved. She followed us.
"Don't you get the idea?" I asked.
"Yeah but I don't care." She laughed.
I was already mad but now I was angry. I got up and went over to him and searched his belt. Then, I took her Pokeball, aimed it at her and pressed the button, which recalled her back to the Pokeball. After that, I went back to the others to enjoy my food. They were all shocked.
"Why didn't I think of that?" Marshtomp asked.
"It just came to me now." I said shrugging my shoulders.
With that we all finished our food then I put our bowls away.
-Braixen PoV-
I still can't imagine what went through Kirlia's head to make her do that. I tried and tried to figure something out. We had to snap him out of it somehow. Then I got an idea.
"Hey, Mawile can you do me a favor?" I asked.
"Sure what is it?" She offered.
"I want you to hit Master." I told her.
"Why!?" Mawile asked me.
"I feel like a sharp pain might be needed to wake him up." I told her. "Besides Kirlia told me how you used to hate him, so I figured that you would have the easiest time doing this."
"Oh ok." Mawile replied.
I stood back with the others as they watched. Mawile started to turn her head, then turned it back really fast, using her jaw to hit him. It went clear across his face. Then it worked.
"Ouch!" He screamed. "Mawile, what was that for!?"
Then she pointed to me.
"We've been trying to get you to come to for almost half an hour." I said.
"Oh crap." He yelled. "You guys must be hungry. He started fumbling through his bag.
"Don't worry, we took care of it." I told him. "Mawile got everything ready and we ate."
"Ah ok." He said. "Where's Kirlia? I just had some crazy dream where she hated me. She'd love to hear it." He asked while laughing.
"Um Master, that wasn't a dream." I told him with some sadness in my voice.
"Oh." He said now looking down. "So where is she now?"
"In her Pokeball." I told him pointing to Mawile who was holding it now.
"Oh ok." He said.
Then Mr. Briney spoke up. "We are now pulling in to Dewford!"
We then got off of his boat. We then went right to the Pokemon Center.
"I want to get you a check up after what happened." He told me. "I want to make sure you actually are ok."
"Oh ok." I replied.
So we made our way over to the Pokemon Center. Upon entering we when to the front desk and master started talking to the lady who was standing there.
"Hello and welcome to the Pokemon Center." The lady said with a smile.
"Hi Nurse Joy, recently my Braixen here passed out in battle and afterwards she was out for a few days." He told her. "I wanted to make sure nothing was seriously wrong that we couldn't see."
"Okay I'll take a look at her." She told him as she turned to me. "Ok let's head to the back." She said while extending her hand.
So I took her hand and she walked me to the back.
"I'll be right outside if you need me." He said to the nurse lady one last time.
So while I was back there, it was kind of scary. It was kinda bright and I was with this strange lady. To top it off, something is wrong with my friend who is acting weird, and my new trainer isn't here. This time if something happens, no one will be here to help me. I just got scared and didn't know what to think so I just let her do her thing.
"Ok I want you to lay here." She told me.
After I did that she started sticking a few things to me.
"Don't worry, these are just sensitive thing that can check your vitals easily." She said.
I had no clue what she was saying but just decided to listen. I laid there for a few minutes doing nothing while she looked at a screen and I heard some clicking. Then she stopped, stood up and walked over to me.
"Ok, you're good to go." She said while taking those things off of me. "You're perfectly fine."
After that we just went back to let master know that I was okay.
-Mawile PoV-
"I think it's time we see what's going on with Kirlia." Tony said to me as he let her out of her Pokeball.
I just nodded my head and watched since he can't understand me. Then, while she was standing there she looked at him and then to me. That's when Tony spoke up.
"Kirlia, we need to talk." He told her.
"Oh yeah, about what?" She snapped.
"About that attitude and what happened to you." He said.
"I don't have an attitude and nothing's wrong." She said. "What don't you get about that?"
"Look, I know something happened, you were all nice, and we were close." He started. "But then, somehow after taking that nap, you just changed. You got mean. Almost like you became a different Pokemon. I miss the Kirlia that I fell in love with, the Kirlia that I saved that day, the girl that I've grown to expect by my side when I wake up. I miss her, and I want her back."
"HA, That Kirlia is dead!" She yelled as she turned around.
Just then the doors to the Pokemon Center opened up. Braixen and Nurse Joy both came outside.
"Your Braixen is just fine." Nurse Joy said to Tony.
"Ok, thanks for the help, it's a big relief that she's ok." Tony said back.
"If you could come with me to sign a few papers, I'll let you be on your way." Nurse Joy requested.
"OK." Tony answered.
I then went over to Kirlia as Braixen followed Tony inside. I found Kirlia's face to find it covered in tears.
"Kirlia, you can't keep up this lie." I told her.
"What lie?" She asked trying to dry her face.
"The one that's hurting Tony more than you can even imagine." I said.
"That's not a lie, I told you that already." She shouted.
I stopped and smacked her.
"Stop that!" I shouted. "You need to stop and tell me what's happened!"
"Fine, I'll tell you." She sighed. "While taking that nap, I had a dream."
-Kirlia's dream-
"Kirlia!" A voice shouted.
I looked around for the source of the voice but couldn't find anything. I was in a city during night time. The lights were all out and there wasn't a single person other than Tony. He didn't seem to hear it. It was a masculine voice but it wasn't Tony's
"Kirlia!" It shouted again.
This time I turned around still holding on to Tony's hand. I saw two Gardevoir standing there. They both had stern looks on their faces, it scared me.
"Who are you?" I asked them.
"We are your parents." One of them said.
This voice was more feminine and slightly softer while still remaining stern.
"Mawile is my mom, I have no dad." I told them.
"We are the one's who brought your egg into this world." The male told me.
"Then why did you leave me on my own, before hatching me?" I asked them.
"Our life wasn't right for you." The female said. "We were always fighting or running. We left your egg hidden so that you could find happiness."
"However this thing will not bring you happiness." The male said holding up Tony who was unconscious.
I checked my hand and sure enough he was gone. This is when I got really scared.
"Please give him back!" I pleaded. "Don't hurt my mate!"
"This cannot be your mate." The male shouted. "Being with him will bring nothing but shame to our kind!"
"That's not true, I love him!" I yelled back.
"He will bring you pain and suffering." The female said. "Humans are a despicable species. They will lure you close to them just to fulfill their desires and then hurt you. They will corrupt your mind and make you want something that they refuse to give."
"Remaining with this creature will make you a disgrace to your kind!" The male shouted. "You are to remove this burden from your life. Make sure he stays away."
"And if I refuse?" I asked.
"Your life will be filled with pain and suffering." The female told me. "Your best bet is to listen. That way you will live a happy life. You will run into a point where he hurts you and won't care."
"Remove him from your life!" The male shouted yet again.
"But I can't leave him like that, I'm in love with him." I said as I fell down now crying. "I can't d... do that I owe him m... m... my life. He saved me from death and then w... we fell in love. He e... even turned down other humans f... for me."
"You!" The male shouted. "Pick yourself up, and stop crying!"
I now looked over at them. They had turned around and were walking away now.
"Heed our warning and do what you must." The female said.
"And don't you dare disgrace our kind!" The male shouted.
I then ran over to Tony who was unconscious on the ground. I fell down and cried as they walked out of sight. Just then while I was sitting there crying, Tony's body vanished and I was left there all alone.
