"Yes... it does."
"Sabrina, did he ever have that marking on his arm before?
""Yes. So... where did you say they found him?"
"On top of the Silph Company building. His Umbreon was laying right beside him, expecting him to wake up at any moment."
"It's always with him...."
"He loves it so much, too. It was the first pokémon he ever helped."
"I didn't know that."
"Yes... he loved it ever since... it took him three months to recover its condition when it was an Eevee."
"So it loved him back and evolved into an Umbreon because of that?"
"Yes."
"Is he going to be like this for long?"
"I do not know."
"..... Can you... leave me alone with him, Joy?"
"Yes, sure." The sounds of high heels going away, followed by the sound of an automatic door again fill his ears.
"Thank you, Joy. Mike... please wake up soon. I don't know what caused you to be in such a deep state of sleep, but I want to hear your voice again... see those.... beautiful crimson eyes again. Please come back to conciousness....". He slowly opens his eyes and finds Sabrina at his side, "Hey..." he says, barely keeping focus, ".... where am I?"
She notices him waking up, "Mike!"
"Yeah, that's my name..."
She smiles first, then embraces him, lifting his upper body off of the bed to hold him in her arms, "Oh Mike.... I missed you...!" her eyes start to water.
"Sabrina..."
"Hm? What is it?"
"Where am I?"
"In the Pokémon Center." Pokémon Centers are also used to hold sick, injured, or exausted trainers besides caring for pokémon.
"Why...? What happened to... me?"
"Some workers at Silph Co. found you and Umbreon on the roof, you were unconcious when they found you...." She lets go of him, allowing him to rest his head on the pillow on the bed he is laying on.
He holds his hand to his forehead, ".... I can't remember... anything that happened.... to me...."
"Umbreon seemed worried about you.... its been here the whole time."
He looks over and sees Umbreon next to Sabrina. "Hey there Umbreon... sorry to worry you..."
"Don't worry, your pokémon are doing just fine."
"That's good."
"I just checked on them this morning before I came to visit you. I was worried about you not being home... taking care of them so...."
"... You came to see me."
"Yes."
"Sabrina?"
"Yes?"
"Can you... dive into my mind?"
"What for?"
"I just.... need to know something.... something that has been locked away..."
"What?"
"You can do that right?"
"Yes but...."
"But what?"
"What if I...? What if I find something you wouldn't want me to see?"
"Just please at least try."
"Okay, I'll try to." She places her hands on the sides of his head, "Okay... I'll need for you to just be calm."
He feels a gentle tingling in his mind, like ice, but without the coldness. Then a shock. He hears Sabrina scream, and the sound of her falling to the ground. He sits up real quick at that, and catches her instantly. "What? What was it?"
She looks at him with a terrified expression on her face and struggles to get out of his arms, only to fall onto her side on the hard ceramic tile floor. "M-M-Mike... you can't be....! NO! It can't be true!"
"What was it? What did you see?" He puts out his hand to help her up, she smacks his hand away.
"I won't believe it.... I am sorry but I cannot see you anymore..."
"Why not?"
"Just don't even talk to me, don't even come near me!" She gets up to her feet and runs out of the room.
He stares at the door dumbfounded "What's her problem...?" He gets up off of the bed and walks over to the sink. He turns the faucet, shaped like a Magikarp, and fills his hands with water, splashing it onto his face, and looks at his reflection in the mirror. His eyesight turns everything into opposite color, kind of like the negatives of photographs. He gasps and nearly falls back when he suddenly sees his reflection change into that of a pokémon, but not any ordinary pokémon, not one that he's ever seen before. This only lasts about 1 second, but it shocks him anyway. "What the...? It can't be my reflection... it just can't... it's gotta be my imagination. Yeah, that's it. That's gotta be it..."
