I saw a pokemon center. Thank God, I'm safe! I walked in there and saw Nurse Joy (Nurse Joy's mother).
"Hell--Oh, my, you look like a mess! You need some clothes or something?" she asked.
A mess? I turned and looked in a nearby window. I almost forgot that I was still dirty from the hole.
"Um... yes," I said, feeling as if I were a trouble to her.
"You new in this town?" she asked, giving me some cookies she had.
"Um... well, I guess I am... what town is this?"
"Viridian City."
"What? Did you say... Viridian Cty?"
"Um... yes, why?"
"Oh, nothing." Deep down in my heart, I knew that this was close to where my husband... ex-husband's gym was. He told me that he owned a gym and was a gym leader there.
"Is there another town close to here?" I asked, finishing the cookie.
"Pewter City is close. Just go north. That city has a gym up there too... well, if you're a trainer, that is."
"Oh... Well, what town is south?"
"Oh, that's a wonderful town! It's friendly and peaceful there!"
"Really?"
"Yes."
"What's it called?"
"Pallet."

They found me or lost me?
I was still dirty, but I didn't care. I was free, like all the birds... I was free!
I looked at the sun shining down on me. It was so pretty. I thought that I'd never see it again. Our windows used to be black. Giovanni said that he hated seeing the light.
I'm just thinking about Samuel. I miss him and Christina. I want to tell them that I'm so sorry, but I don't know where they are. I even miss Spencer and college.
"Over HERE!" someone said.
NOOOOOOOO! It's John! I know that voice! I ran back inside and told Joy to hide me. Nurse Joy put me in the closet with a lot of coats.
Someone ran in the pokemon center. "Um... has anyone seen a girl named Delia? She has brown hair and brown eyes, and she's about this tall," showing my height.
"No, why do you ask?"
"Oh... nothing. Well, I have to go. Bye!" John was about to leave when Nurse Joy said, "I think saw her."
My hands shook as well as my whole body. My heart was going 30 mph.
"You did? Where?"
"Go to Pewter City. I told her that she should go there. I didn't know she was a runaway."
"Oh, thanks!" John then left, saying to the others, "She headed for Pewter City!"

Pallet's Sweetheart
It was night when Nurse Joy told me it was safe to head out. She gave me a bike to get there faster. I thanked her and rode in the dark.
I hardly saw the night sky; I only saw lights in the building. It was always dark. No sky whatsoever.
(3 1/2 hours later)
I got to the small town. Nurse Joy was right... it was peaceful. I set up my sleeping bag that Nurse Joy gave me before I left. I hid my bags and myself by a big bush.
(1:00 PM)
I was awakened by someone shaking me lightly. "Waitie waitie, Mrz."
I opened my eyes. I thought it was them until I saw a cute little girl staring at me.
"You ok?" she asked. I say she's about 4 or 5. She had brown hair. She was holding a teddy bear, and she was sucking on a lollypop. She had a pretty little pink shirt and baby jeans. She looked like a cute little china doll.
"Yeah, I'm ok," I said, sitting up.
"You wanna play?" she asked.
"Um... no, thank you."
"Come on, wanna meet my family?"
"I don't--"
"Sure you do... c'mon!" She pulled my arm.
I sighed. What the heck. "Ok, I'm coming."
Her house wasn't very far. She led me to a big house. Must be rich, I thought. The house looked nice from where I was standing. I saw many pictures in there. Some were of people I didn't know. For some reason, one picture got my attention.
"Who's this?" I asked.
"You never heard 'bout the greatest Pokemon prof.?"
"I guess I haven't," I said truthfully.
"Oh! My name is May! And that's my grandpa, Professor--"
"Samuel Oak." I saw the same person in the picture... only he was real.
"Samuel Oak?" I asked.
"Delia?" he said in shock. We both stared at each other. I felt funny because I was still a little dirty from the hole.
"Delia... you're... oh, my... let's get you cleaned up," he said.
(Delia's in the bathtub thinking to herself)
As I whir the water gently with my fingers, I sigh, thinking about Samuel and the whole thing. I got it all wrong. I bet he pities me. No, NO... not Samuel.
I watch someone's shadow by the door. Knock, knock, knock.
"Yeah?"
"Delia, you done?" Samuel asked.
"Um..." I looked down at myself and answered, "Yeah."

We ate dinner with May. May is Sam's granddaughter. His son is on a trip with May's mother, so they asked Sam if he could watch her. I still think of her as a little china doll. (^_~) We didn't say much at the dinner table. Only May did all the talking. She told us about her day in school.
"See, I draw this... See!" She showed me a picture of a blue horse.
"That's very nice," I said, smiling at her.
"I love it, May. I need to hang this one up with your other drawings. Are you done eating, sweetheart?" Samuel asked her.
"Yes."
"Why don't you go and watch TV?"
"Ok, Granddaddy." Then she got out of her chair and ran to the front room. She turned on a cartoon called "Sailor Moon"--some Anime cartoon.
Samuel stopped eating and looked at me. I stopped eating too. I didn't know what he was going to do or say. He folded his fingers together and put his head on his hands.
"So... are you going to change? Or will you stay with TR?"
"How do you know about TR?"
"Newspapers... TV."
"Oh," I said, putting my head down.
"Well?"
"I want to change. That's why I ran away," I explained. After a moment, I asked, "But how do I start my life all over? How do I go back to the past?"
"Delia, you can't, but you can go ahead to the future. You will stay here and live with me for a while. You'll have two jobs. One outside the house--I will find you a job--and the other will be cleaning here. When you get your checks, I'll keep them for you to save up for a house for yourself. You don't have to worry about food, I have food here already. These are my only rules for you to stay here... accept it, or leave it. Your choice!"
