"Aaaaaarrrrrhhhhhhh!"
Kelly and Ned both ran screaming from the cave, stones flying around behind them.
"Why did you do that?" Yelled Ned as they ran.
"I wanted to catch a Clefairy!"
"But you don't even like Clefairy!"
"I was going to sell it!" Kelly panted as she jumped some rocks, "People would pay a lot of
money for a pokemon like that!"
"Why did you put your Voltorb up against it? Did you think they weren't going to use metronome?"
"I forgot they had that attack!"
"You forgot!" Ned yelled, he stumbled on a stone, caught himself before he could fall, and kept
running.
The reached the cave entrance and ran for the sunlight. Ned dove for the soft grass and
collapsed there panting. Kelly came out behind him, Voltorb in her arms. Kelly sank down
next to him in the grass, on her knees, trying to catch her breath.
"We……Nearly….. didn't.." Ned panted. He was cut off by a large bang as the cave rumbled and
rocks fell to block off the entrance.
"Ah oh," said Kelly.
"What do you mean Ah-"?
VOLTORB!
Bright light, very bright. Kelly tried to sit up, but it was too bright. The light must be
holding me down, she thought. She listened to her head for a while, it was fuzzy and sore.
After a while, she realised that it was tightly tucked sheets that were holding her down, and
that she had a shocking headache. Shocking! Now she remembered! The cave collapsing had
scared Voltorb into self destructing. It was too bright to open her eyes. Kelly heard voices.
"Don't worry, we can talk here."
Kelly was about to call out to whoever it was to tell them she was awake.
"Don't worry, these two are in coma's, they won't hear a thing. With a little luck, they won't
even wake up."
"So your pretty sure the boss doesn't know it was us who caused the explosion that hurt these
guys?"
"Of course I'm sure, trust me Butch."
'You scare me sometimes Cass."
Kelly heard them walk away. Who were they? Were they talking about her and Ned? Was their
boss, THE BOSS? Kelly felt her brain swell with all the effort. The white got back into her
head again.
When she awoke, she could see properly. See saw the ceiling. It was plain white, what was
with all the white in this place? It was almost all white, except for the dark smudge on one
side. As her eyes began to focus the smudge transformed into her partner Neds head of dark
hair. He was looking down on her with concern.
"Hey Ned, that was cool… Could you do that head fade thing again?"
Neds expression on concern changed to that of confusion.
"What?"
"She needs her sleep now," another voice said. Kelly looked to the other side and saw a smiling
nurse. Kelly hated people who fake smiled.
"We want to keep her another couple of days." The nurse said to Ned, as if Kelly was not there.
Like hell, thought Kelly.
"I'm fine, really," she said, trying to get up. The nurse pushed her back down, still smiling.
"Oh no, you mustn't! You've been through so much, you really should rest now. Keep an eye on
her will you dear?" she said to Ned as she smiled at him and left.
"Keep an eye on her dear…." Kelly imitated with mock sweetness. "What a flake." She sat up.
"C'mon 'dear' lets get out of here." To her surprise, Ned grabbed her shoulders and pushed her
back down.
"Hey! What's the big idea?"
"Your supposed to rest, don't sit up." Ned let go of her and pulled her sheets back up.
"But we have to, we can't sta-"
"Kelly listen to me, you need your rest."
"No, you listen to me!" Kelly grabbed Ned by the collar and pulled him closer to her, "We're in
danger, they did this! We're not supposed to wake up! Don't you see?" Kelly shook his slightly
to get the point across.
"Yes, I see. You must have hit your head worse than they thought," he put and hand on her
forehead, "Do you feel dizzy? Does your head hurt?"
Kelly slapped his hand away.
"I'm serious Ned, we are leaving this place, NOW and that's an order." Before Ned could tell
her that they were of equal rank and she couldn't give him orders, she slipped out of his reach
and stumbled out of her bed. "I'm leaving, if you have any sense you'll follow me."
Ned looked faintly amused.
"I don't think you should go outside dressed like that." He smiled slightly. Kelly looked down
to see that she was wearing a hospital gown. She felt a breeze, then cranked her head around
to see her bare behind sticking out. She snapped her head back to look at Ned, who was looking
away and blushing slightly, trying not to smile.
"When were you going to tell me about that you bastard!" She yelled, looking for something to
throw at him. She felt a wave of dizziness wash over her and grabbed the bed to steady herself.
"What! You the one who just jumped up like… Kelly are you okay?"
"I'm fine. Get me my clothes, we are leaving." Kelly closed her eyes and waited for the
dizziness to pass. Truthfully, she felt like she was about to pass out, she could barely stand,
but she wanted to get out of there and sort out what she had heard earlier. Ned looked at her,
he could tell by the look on her face that she was not going to be talked out of it. Maybe, if
he did what she asked, she would realise that she was better off in hospital and would ask to
go back. Ned knew the chances of that happening were slim, but decided to go for it anyway.
Besides, he had only woken up a day before her and was feeling fine now. They were only
concerned about Kelly because Ned had woken up a few times, while Kelly had been in her coma
until now.
"Okay," Ned said finally, "Lets get out of here."
Kelly and Ned both ran screaming from the cave, stones flying around behind them.
"Why did you do that?" Yelled Ned as they ran.
"I wanted to catch a Clefairy!"
"But you don't even like Clefairy!"
