Again, not much to babble about. Thank you Ice-phoenix-chan for the review! I'll be using be using the Japanese versions of names. So Haruka is actually May, and Mitsuru is Wally. Satoshi (aka Ash) and Kasumi (aka Misty) will not be major characters. Lastly Yuuki (aka Brendan) will appear later in the story.
Disclaimer: Again I do not own Pokemon.
Chapter Two: The Underlying Truth
When Misa awaken she found herself on one of the beds in the nurse's office. The sound of the gentle rain hitting the window could be heard. Misa could feel that her espeon was asleep by feeling the warmth on her left side and the movement of slow steady breathing.
"I must have been out for awhile. Hm... I miss the rain. It's good for the plants. Oh! I guess my hearing is back to normal!" Misa happily exclaimed. She then reached for her frameless glasses that were on the bedside table.
"And so is my vision! Score!" Misa then noticed the bandages that were on her arms and legs.
"How could this have happen? Ricko and I have always battled so how come I got hurt this time?" Misa wondered.
" Misa? I didn't know you were here," said the boy with messy green hair who took a seat on the other bed.
"Oh, Mitsuru! I didn't know you were here either. How's it go---"
"Misa!" boomed Ricko from the door.
"Oniichan?"
"You were out for three hours! I thought you were...Huh?" Ricko then noticed bite marks on Misa's neck.
"What! Who did this? I'm gonna get the little punk who..."
"You dolt! I got this when Umbreon bit Eefi in battle. Have you not noticed that my bandages are in the exactly same place as Eefi's?"
"But how?"
" I don't know... I felt it the minute your umbreon bit into my Eefi. I could feel the bite."
"But how about the scrapes and bruises?"
" I don't know. Maybe it's only physical damage that have an effect. I didn't feel any of the special attacks like secret power."
" It seems you have some clairsentience," Misa and Ricko turned their heads towards Mitsuru.
"Clairsentience?" Misa asked.
"Well, she is pretty intune with other's feelings. It means you can feel things that others can't feel. Kind of lik a sixth sense," Ricko reasoned.
"Or maybe you have the same ability as ralts," Mitsuru added.
"You mean synchronize?" Misa asked. Mitsuru then nodded.
"I dunno. It all sounds a little far fetch." Misa replied. Ricko then handed her a bento.
"It's lunch break so you better eat up. We still have two more classes. Do you think you can attend class?" Ricko asked.
"Yeah, I think I'll be fine. Thanks."
"No problem, Sis. Anyway I got to go to the workshop. I still haven't finished making a chain and it's due today."
"Don't forget to take Inferno with you," Misa called out as she waved good bye to her brother.
"Who's Inferno?" Mitsuru asked.
"Oh, that's my brother's quilava. He needs him for metal art. So how are you feeling?"
"I'm ok. I just came in for an asprin. So that was one weird battle."
"Yeah...Hey, how did you know about our battle?"
"I was in English class and I saw the whole thing from the window."
"Oh... what do you have next?"
"CAPP (Career and personal planning). And you?"
"Socials..."
"Is it really that bad?"
"I'd rather not say," Misa said as she took a bite out of her lunch.
---After lunch, Mitsuru and Misa split as they headed for their classes.----
"Misha!" Haruka ran up to Misa and gave her a hug. She then added, "I was so worried!"
"I'm ok Haruka-chan. So how was the meeting?"
"We didn't accomplish anything. There was to much 'debating'." The two girls then entered the classroom and took their seats.
---After the last class of the day...----
"Why did he get mad at me for?" Misa heard Satoshi complain.
"How should I know?" Kasumi replied. The two walked down the hallway, hand in hand.
"Ow! My head!" Haruka whinned.
"Yeah, I know what you mean. Sensai's voice is so monotone that it drives me crazy." Misa comforted.
"Well, I'm meeting Ricko at the soccer field. You wanna come?"
"Oh! I just remembered I have a few errands to run," Haruka answered.
"Ok then. See you tomorrow!"
"Ja ne!"
---At the soccer field----
"Wow! You're actually on time for a change," Misa exclaimed when she caught sight of Ricko as she arrived.
"Well, there's a first time for everything. So how are you feeling?"
"Ok. How about we go buy some..."
"Cream puff!"
"Haha, yeah." Misa just laughed at Ricko's enthusiasm.
After they had bought a couple of cream puffs they decided to eat them on the river banks. Ricko quickly took the wrapped delicacy out of the bag of dry ice. He then noticed that his sister was a bit more quiet then usual.
"It's rude to stare," Misa said without taking her eyes off of the water.
"Sorry, it's just that usually you're more...peachy."
"I'm still a little bit shocked at what happen this morning," Misa explained as she sat by the water.
"No one can blame you, Sis," Ricko comforted as he followed Misa with a cream puff still in his hand.
"It's just...that when...I...I don't know. I don't know anymore," Misa rambled as she looked into her reflection off the river. She then stretched out her hand and dipped it into the water, distorting her image.
"Take it easy, Misa. Just give it some time," Ricko said as he took a bite out of his cream puff.
Misa then looked pass the surface and pulled out a small sigay shell. She hated it when jellewers break the purple half just to fit the trend. To her the purple half was what made it itself and beautiful.
"Oh, that's pretty. Mmm.... choco flavour! What flavour did you get?" Ricko asked savouring his cream puff.
"Ichigo."
"Huh?"
"Strawberry."
"Again? You should try something different like green tea. It's not that shabby," Ricko suggested. A faint smile crept on his sister's face.
"Thanks, Ricko." Misa said as she held onto the shell.
"For what?" Ricko asked oblivious of what she was talking about. He then finished the last of his cream puff.
"Let's go home," Misa said as she got up and dusted the grass off herself. She then turned to her brother and let out her free hand towards Ricko who was still sitting down.
"Oniichan?"
[End of Chapter Two]
I'm still trying to develope a better reason for why Misa got the same injuries as her espeon. Yes, there is a point to this chapter. It may seem subtle but it's definitely there.
