-Kirlia's Dream- -Kirlia's PoV-
I was in some type of vehicle. There were a lot of others following us. I looked down to my feet, but my legs were long. This shocked me so I looked at my arms next. Then I found my reflection in a window. I'm a Gardevoir. Eventually as I finally gathered my thoughts, the car stopped. We were in a cemetery. Some people we knew were there. I saw May and Brandon. I also saw Tony's mom there. There were also some people I've never seen before. A boy with black hair and a black and gold hat, he was with a girl who had brown hair with two curled pigtails and a white hat. There was also a girl with long blonde hair. I looked at everyone they were all wearing black. I even had my black dress on. A lot of them were crying. Other who weren't, I could tell that they were sad.
"Tony, why are they all sad?" I asked completely confused.
I waited for him to answer but he didn't. I turned to look at him, but he wasn't there. I started looking frantically. But, I couldn't find him. I sensed some more tension so I turned around. A lot of people were glaring at me and I didn't know why. This scared me. I saw a big fancy decorative box about to be lowered into the ground. Then it hit me. This was what humans call a funeral. This is what they do when someone dies, and that someone was Tony. I tried to run over but Brandon and the boy with the black hat held me back.
"No this can't be real." I yelled with telepathy. "He can't be dead. Let me see him."
"You can't do that." Brandon said.
"Why not?" I asked.
"Because those caskets get bolted shut." The other boy said.
At that I just fell down. I didn't know what to do.
"It j... just can't b... be hap... pining." I cried.
I just got death glares from lot of the people there. I just lost my boyfriend, the only family I have. Why are they mad at me?
"Come on, let's go sit down for a second." The blonde girl said while holding out a hand.
I took her hand and followed her. After sitting down I just cried into my hands. While she was patting my back to comfort me, someone started talking about Tony. He was saying all of the things that he remembered about him. But then once his mom got up there I knew that something was going to happen. I listened to her.
"I always loved my son. I always did my best to raise him right." She said. "I was proud of how I had done. He was a great person. One day, while he was on his journey, he stopped by home. I was so happy, my boy had come home. But then he revealed to me that he considered his pet to be his girlfriend." She sneared while glaring at me more.
"I'm not a pet though." I thought while getting more upset.
"I tried to change his mind but couldn't. So I did what I could to punish him for such a sickening act." She said. "I had to disown him. It was the hardest thing I ever had to do. But kept getting updated on him. Eventually he married that animal. I don't know what he saw in her, but it couldn't have been that great. Then one day I heard that my son had pushed her out of the way of a moving semi. I couldn't believe it. He gave his life to save this animal, whose species is supposed to do anything in their power to protect their trainers."
"I didn't mean to, I didn't know." I said with telepathy.
"Quiet!" She shouted. "It's because of you that he's dead." She screamed at me.
She was gaining support from other people who I assumed were his family.
"Yeah."
"What is your problem?"
"Why was it him?"
"It should have been you."
"You didn't even deserve to call him your trainer."
These were all some of the hurtful things that people were saying to me. I fell out of my chair and just broke down crying even more than eariler. It was terrible. It couldn't be my fault, I'd have never done that to him. I loved him. Then the few friends there stood up for me.
"Don't you people have a heart?" The blonde girl yelled.
"Yes you guys loved him, but she loved him just as much if not more." May said.
"She just lost her husband, what if the tables were turned and you guys were getting blamed?" Brandon spoke up.
"It doesn't matter." One of the people said. "Because she couldn't watch the road before crossing, now he's gone."
I couldn't take it. I was so upset. I just walked over to the casket, and forced it open.
"Tony, I need you to help me." I said. I was delusional.
"What are you doing?" The girl with pig tails asked.
"I need him to tell them that they are wrong about me." I said.
At this point it was almost like I was sleep walking.
"Come on." May said. "Let's take you home to rest."
I went along with her and after about 30 minutes of crying, we got back Tony's house. May lead me upstairs and I laid by myself in our bed. I closed my eyes and went to sleep.
-Back to reality- -Tony's PoV-
I woke right back up, or so it felt. I was being shaken. When I opened my eyes, I looked to my left and teared up. He was there. I jumped at him and hung on for dear life.
"I was going to ask if you were okay, but I know that you are now, and that's the important part." I said.
"I just had the worst dream ever." Kirlia told me.
"How bad was it?" I asked.
"I was at a funeral, and it was yours." Kirlia started. "I was already upset, but then your family started picking on me and being really mean. I was just in so much pain and I was so scared that I had lost you even though it was a dream."
"Oh my gosh!" I said.
"The important part is that you're hear and your okay." She said.
"And I'll always be here right by your side." I said.
At that we got out of bed and I got dressed. I let everyone out and let them eat breakfast. Kirlia just laid her head on me while the others ate. I smiled after looking at her and started thinking into the future.
"What would happen if i did want to marry Kirlia?" I thought to myself. "How would it work, and who would do that for us? I don't think that just any pastor would want to do that." Then my thoughts were interrupted.
"Tony." Kirlia started. "I'm really getting kind of scared."
"Of what?" I asked.
"My dreams." She replied. "Some of them deal with something happening, and it scares me."
"Don't think like that." I told her. "Just keep the thought from your mind and it will be better. I love you and I'm staying here with you."
She grabbed my arm and I saw a blush on her face followed by a smile. It made me feel so good that I could make her feel even better. After a few more minutes, I picked up the empty bowls and we went on our way to get our own breakfast. I never let go of her hand.
"I always wanted to try this place." I said as I pointed out a diner.
"Okay, sounds good." She said.
We started heading over. She kept a tight grip on my hand, even as we entered the diner.
As we left, about 40 minutes later, Kirlia was still holding my hand. We started heading north towards Mauville City.
"Kirlia, are you okay?" I asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine," She said.
"Okay, just making sure, you seem off today." I said.
"No, I'm good." She assured.
I picked her up and felt her forehead. It was warm.
"Kirlia, you have a slight fever." I told her. "Please don't push yourself. If you need me to, I can carry you."
"Okay, but really, I'm fine." She said.
With that, I set her down and we started walking again. I saw cycling road, again wishing that I had a bike and could take the road. But we continued to walk. We got challenged to quite a few battles. I held Kirlia back because of her fever. I didn't want to risk anything. About five hours and 12 battles later, we got challenged by a girl dressed in an olive green shirt and skirt with a hat of the same color. I reached for my belt when I was stopped.
"Tony, please, let me battle." Kirlia begged.
"But, Kirlia, you're sick." I argued.
"I'm not that sick, please let me battle." She continued to beg.
"Okay fine, but if you start looking weak, I'm pulling you back." I said.
"Okay." She agreed.
"So, you ready?" The girl asked.
"Yeah." I responded.
She sent out a Vibrava. No doubt she caught it in the desert. I then sent out Kirlia; feeling better that she had the type advantage.
"Vibrava, Bite." She called.
"Dodge and use Psybeam." I called out too.
The Psybeam didn't do too much though.
"Dark Pulse, Vibrava." The girl commanded.
"Kirlia dodge!" I called but she couldn't do it in time.
The Dark Pulse hit her left shoulder. I saw the pained look on her face.
"Kirlia shake it off and Disarming Voice." I commanded.
As I held my ears, I saw a few waves go towards Vibrava who looked really hurt from it.
"Virbava, Bite again." She called.
"Kirlia, Confusion!" I commanded.
But before Confusion could hit, Vibrava got its Bite in. I heard Kirlia yell in pain, and it hurt me to know that she was in pain.
"Kirlia, Disarming voice again." I yelled.
As she opened her mouth, the shock wave from the attack was hurting Vibrava.
"Vibrava, dig!" Was the next command.
It then dug underground. We tried our best to find it but couldn't. Then Vibrava popped out and sent Kirlia in the air, when she came back down she was out. This was her first loss, and our first loss. I picked up Kirlia and walked over to the girl.
"Good job." I said as I handed her the money I now owed her. "This was our first loss. It kinda sucks."
"Really, your first?" She asked. "If that's the case I'd have expected more."
"Feel her forehead." I said.
"She's sick?" She asked. "Why you let her fight then?"
"When she grabbed my hand when I reached for a Pokeball earlier, she was practically begging to battle." I said. "I didn't want to but she told me with telepathy that she really wanted to so I let her." I explained as Kirlia regained consciousness.
"Well we might need a rematch sometime then." The girl said holding out a hand. "My name is Amanda, what's yours?"
"I'm Tony" I replied as I shook her hand.
"So let me see your Pokegear, I'll put my number in." She said. "Also, I'm almost always free for lunch."
"Thanks for the offer but I'm taken." I replied.
"Aww really?" She asked. "That's no fair. Eh oh well, I still got that rematch later."
"Yeah." I said.
Then I called her pokegear so that she would have my number as well then I headed on my way.
"Tony?" Kirlia asked about 10 minutes later.
"Yeah?" I asked back.
"Did I lose back there?" She asked.
"Yeah." I answered.
"Oh, I disappointed you." She said looking down.
"Not at all." I replied. "Everyone loses. It was only a matter of time."
"You sure?" She asked.
"Yep." I said. "Now let's take a lunch break. Mauville City is probably another five hours away."
"Okay." Kirlia said as we set up for lunch.
We sat down to eat and she was definitely just shoveling it down. It was kinda of funny but also kinda of gross. Although she was probably just hungry from the battle. Who could blame her?
"Tony, can I have seconds?" She asked.
"Are you sure you can eat it all?" I asked back.
"Yeah!" She replied excitedly.
"Alright then." I said.
I filled her plate back up. Then I watched her shovel down another plate. At this point it wasn't gross anymore. I was amazed that she was putting it all away. I think i had my mouth hanging open, because I got a response.
"Is something wrong?" Kirlia asked.
"No I'm just kind of surprised." I said.
"Why's that?" She asked.
"You're eating more that normal." I said.
At that I expected her to get mad like any girl would. But to my surprise, she didn't. Instead she looked away with a blush.
"Is that a bad thing?" She asked.
"No, but if you do too much you can get fat." I said.
"Okay." She said going back to chewing.
After not too long, we were packed up and back on the road. I was holding Kirlia's hand as we walked. We were on a weird path that had water on both sides of it. I'd say that we should have another 8 hours or so. There were a lot of trainers here. We got challenged to battle after battle after battle. I could tell that every body was getting exhausted. I had one last battle. This trainer was a fighting type trainer, so I figured Kirlia could probably handle it. It was a Machop that she took down in one hit.
"Look at that Kirlia, you redeemed yourself." I chuckled.
"Yeah I guess I did. She replied with a smile.
After walking about another five minutes, I stopped walking.
"Tony, why are we stopping?" Kirlia asked.
"We're gonna take a small break." I told her. "My feet hurt."
"Okay." She answered.
I went to sit under a tree in some shade. Then, Kirlia came over and sat on my lap.
"You know Tony, I'm really glad you found me." Kirlia said. "I really like traveling with you. You make me so happy. And even though you can't fight, I still feel really safe arounmff..." I cut her off with a kiss that she pulled away from pretty fast.
"What are you doing? I'm still sick." She pleaded.
"I don't care." I said. "I'll still kiss you even if what you have is deadly. I love you Kirlia." I said. as I kissed her again.
I leaned in closer and held the back of her head. I held her there refusing to let her push back. I held her until she gave in. We were sitting in such a nice spot it really helped set the mood. I felt her arms wrap around my head.
"Who am I kidding, I wanted this." She said.
"I knew you did." I answered.
We sat there speechless for another 10 minutes, just kissing each other. Then, I decided to pull away. I grabbed her hand and helped her to her feet. She had a smile on her face i really wanted to make her forget about that loss earlier especially since she wasn't feeling her best.
"Tony, are you alright?" Kirlia asked me.
"Yeah just thinking." I replied.
After that we continued to walk towards Mauville City. Kirlia seemed to be happy so that lifted my spirits a little. I decided it would be good to have the others out as well. so i did just that. I had everyone out and walking. So I just continued to hold Kirlia's hand and kept walking.
"Ugh, it's hot." Kirlia said.
"Well, 3 P.M. is the hottest point of the day." I chuckled.
"Ugh, it's no fair." She whined,
"Are you okay hun?" I asked.
"Yes" She said with a blush.
"Alright." I smiled.
We continued to walked well into the day talking about various topics. With the occasional lovey dovey stuff here and there Kirlia and I enjoyed the walk. it was kind of boring aside from having Kirlia there. We weren't challenged to any battles since the Machop.
"Where are all of the trainers?" Kirlia asked.
"Maybe they heard how good we are and they ran away." I chuckled
"Haha, yeah I doubt that." She laughed. "But, hey are we getting close?"
"Yeah, about another hour or so." I said.
"Okay good, I'm abnormally tired today. Kirlia said. "Probably my fever."
"Yeah, it is getting dark too." I noticed.
I called everyone back to their Pokeballs. Then, Kirlia and I decided to walk the last hour. Then we saw someone approach us.
"Well, what is this?" The guy asked to no one in particular. "What are you doing? Are you really that low?"
Kirlia started to get mad and step forward but I stopped her.
"Let's just keep walking." I told her.
"Hey where do you think you're going?" He snarled. "I was talking to you."
"It's dark so I'm going to town." I said as I continued to walk more.
That's when he grabbed my arm. "We're not done here." He said.
"Excuse me?" I asked. "Who said you can touch me?"
"What does it matter? Are you in a hurry to be a freak and screw your pet?" He snickered.
I pulled my arm free and continued to walk with Kirlia until I was grabbed again.
"You are really a low life." He laughed some more. "I cant believe anyone would use one of those things just to screw them. You must have terrible luck to be with that."
"Kirlia, Confusion, push him back a little." I said.
She sent him to a tree and we left him there. As we walked, I saw him fade into the darkness of the forest. Then we went on to the City. It was nice there were buildings everywhere, some tall and some small. A lot of them had lights on so even in the dark of night, the city was well illuminated.
"Wow, this city is huge." Kirlia said.
"Yep and there are even bigger ones out there." I told her.
"Really?!" She asked.
"Yep, but come on, the Pokemon Centere is in the middle of the city, let's go." I said.
"Okay." Kirlia said happily.
After about another ten minutes, we got there.
"Welcome to the Pokemon Center, how can I help you tonight?" Nurse Joy asked.
"I'd like a room for the night." I said.
"Okay your room is #137, right down this hall." Nurse Joy said handingme a key and pointing me to a hallway.
"Thank you." I said as I went down the hall to my room.
I opened the door set my things down and left with Kirlia, closing the door behind me.
"Where are we going?" Kirlia asked me.
"I'm going to get you a check up to make sure that your fever isn't bad." I told her.
"Oh ok." She answered.
So with that we went back to the front desk.
"Oh, hello again, is everything alright?" Joy asked.
"Yes, I just wanted to get my Kirlia here a check up." I said. "She had a fever when we woke up this morning and it hasn't gone down yet."
"Okay I'll take a look and be right back." Joy said.
"Okay." I replied.
About ten minutes later, she was back.
"How is she?" I asked.
"Your Kirlia will be just fine." Joy said. "She just needs to rest for the night and she should be better by tomorrow."
"Okay that's good." I replied.
"Would you like her back for the night or would you like me to watch her?" Joy asked.
"I'd like to have her back please." I said.
"Okay I'll bring her right out." She said.
"Thanks." I replied again.
Then shortly after Joy went to the back she came back with Kirlia who came over and grabbed my hand.
"Okay you two have a good night now." Joy said.
"We will and you too." I answered.
"She said I'll be better by morning." Kirlia said.
"She told me that too." I said as we entered the room.
"Okay, ugh I can't wait to get to sleep." Kirlia yawned as she climbed into bed.
"Yeah, you've had a long day." I said as I climbed in with her. " And tomorrow is the gym battle."
"Oh yeah I should really rest up then, haha." She laughed. "Good night Tony."
"Good night Kirlia." I said. "I love you."
"I love you too." Kirlia replied as she gave me a quick kiss then rolled over to go to sleep.
