Gunshots and explosions could be heard in the distance, but he soon
realised it was not this that had woken him, it was the considerable
pounding in his head. He groaned and raised his hand to his head as if it
would stop the ache. He tried to open his eyes slowly, but when a
tremendous pain shot through his head he decided better of it.
It was then that he heard a soft moaning coming from next to him. He recognised it instantly as the voice of his best friend and out of pure concern for her safety he slowly opened his eyes. What he saw shocked him and he immediately became scared. He pushed these thoughts to the back of his mind as he realised that he had to be the strong one now. He scrambled over to her side and looked at her face. She had a small stream of blood trickling down the side of her face from a gash on her head, and although her eyes were shut her features portrayed just how much pain she was in.
Despite her moaning she was not fully conscious and he decided to wake her. He needed to hear her voice if only for his comfort
"Jess?" he shook her by the shoulders gently, silently pleading that she would just open her eyes. Her voice was shaky but it immediately comforted him when he heard it
"J-James?"
"Yeah, I'm here Jess" he hoped that his voice comforted her as much as hers did for him, they needed as much courage as they could get if they were going to survive this.
"What happened?" she asked breathlessly,
He surveyed their surroundings quickly and noted that they were still inside the HQ. Rubble surrounded them, as part of the ceiling had caved in. He turned back to her and answered
"I don't know, but we're still at headquarters, the place is a mess –it looks like a bombs hit it!"
"It probably has" she replied with her eyes still closed. "Are you okay?" she continued.
He smiled faintly at her immediate questioning of his safety and tried to ignore the severe pain in his head as he answered
"I've been worse" he lied
She nodded faintly "What about Meowth?"
His mind immediately panicked, he hadn't even given a thought to Meowth, simply concentrating on her wellbeing. His eyes searched the remains of the main hall swiftly. He tried to keep the desperation out of his voice
"I don't know, I-I can't see him",
"Maybe he got out?" she tried
He knew in his mind that this was unlikely but in an effort to console her he replied
"Yeah probably, you know what he's like. He always was the lucky one"
"Yeah…" there was a long silence until she continued "James?" the fear in her voice startled him
"What's wrong?" he panicked
"I-I can't feel my leg"
His eyes quickly looked down her body and he took a sharp intake of breath. She began to panic when she heard this
"James what is it? What's wrong?" she reached out for him and he forced himself to look back at her face. He took hold of her hand and squeezed it tight
"It's nothing Jess, it's okay"
"James we've been best friends for 8 years, I know when your lying"
"It's nothing Jess, really, you're going to be okay"
"James, just tell me"
"It's, it's…"
