Chapter Three: Sedated
Oak continued. "I dashed home as quickly as possible and grieved in my house in Pallet for years and years. I remember Delia--"
"Delia?" Oak looked up at the girl in his doorway.
"Professor! What's wrong?" She blinked her adorable hazel eyes and gave Oak that concerned look. She dashed to his bedside and snuggled next to him.
"It's just... I'm remembering one of my past loves."
"What happened to her?"
Professor Oak smiled and decided not to tell Delia the truth. 'She's too young.' "Well, she was lost at sea."
"Really?"
"Well, abducted by a legendary Pokemon."
"Wow! What Pokemon?"
"Lugia, the dragon-like Legendary Pokemon with the powers of psyche."
"Aww that's sad." Her eyes grew clouded with tears.
Oak held Delia close, "Don't cry for me."
"Okay..." Delia closed her eyes sedately and yawned innocently. "Love you..."
"I love you too," Oak whispered as she fell asleep on his lap. He flipped on the TV and stared at the screen, his jaw dropping. He turned up the volume and listened intently to the announcer.
"We bring you here to Pewter City, where the local gym leader celebrates his 100th battle. Flint Harrison, shown here," Flint waved from his spot in front of the Pewter gym, "has recently began his gym training career, and hopes to continue for quite a long time. Quoth Flint:"
The scene switched to an interview with the gym leader. "I've chosen this path in honor of Dad. He was a great man, constantly fascinated with Pokemon..." He continued talking, and the announcer voiced-over.
"Flint continues on about his late father, Flint Harrison, Senior. If you have heard the stories, he is rumored to have had a close relationship with none other but the legendary Lugia himself!"
Professor Oak turned off the TV and picked up the phone.
