Sitting in the waiting chairs of the Pokemon center, Wes stared at the back door hoping that Espeon and Umbreon were alright. Even though he knew they had to go here when they were ever harmed in battle, and the injuries were never serious, he always hated bringing them here. He constantly feared that something would happen to them and they would die.
Rui stared at Wes who was now trembling a little bit at the thought of losing either Espeon or Umbreon. She couldn't help but feel bad for the boy sitting beside her.
"Poor, thing," she thought to herself. "He must really care for his Pokemon if he's this scared."
Rui couldn't have been more right, The bond between Wes and his two Pokemon was much stronger than the normal bond of a Pokemon and it's trainer. Wes has cared for both Espeon and Umbreon since they were both little Eevees, and had raised them like they were his own children. Whenever Wes was happy they were happy, and whenever he was sad or scared, they were always there to comfort him. They were his only true friends that he's really ever had, and if anything were to happen to them, he wouldn't know what he would do.
Rui raised her hand and tried to put on Wes's shoulder so she could provide some comfort and reassurance to him and help him feel a little more at ease. However, before she could touch him, the nurse at the desk called them over.
They both stood up and walked over to the desk as another young nurse brought both Espeon and Umbreon out. The two Pokemon for all there life have traveled outside with Wes because they hated being in a pokeball so they were brought out on a gurney.
The two jumped onto the desk happy to see their trainer. Wes let out a sigh of relief and pet both of them as Umbreon licked Wes's hand and Espeon nuzzled the other.
"I'm so glad to see you both are feeling better." Wes said as he softly stroked them both, much to their enjoyment. Things were silent as Wes continued to pet his Pokemon. He soon stopped petting and looked into the eyes of Umbreon.
"Umbreon, I know you care for Espeon, but you can't pull a stunt like you did in that battle against Corphish knowing you couldn't defend yourself in time. You could have been hurt way worse than you were." He said to the black Pokemon sternly.
Umbreon looked down in sadness while Wes gave a small little smirk as he stroked his cheek.
"Besides, you know Espeon can take care of herself. She's a lot stronger than you think she is. I promise you that I wouldn't let anything bad ever happen to her if things ever got too rough, just like I would never let anything happen to you."
Umbreon licked his hand one more time, and Wes turned around to face Rui as the two Pokemon jumped off the desk and went over to her. She bent down and pet them both as Wes looked on in amazement. Normally Espeon and Umbreon weren't very trustworthy of other people but for some reason they didn't seem to mind Rui in the slightest. Even though they just met her, they acted like they've know her for years. Maybe it was because they trusted her after she accepted Wes for who he was and didn't mind that he was part of Team Snagem. Whatever the reason Wes couldn't help but let a small barely visible smile form on his face. After another moment of Silence Rui looked up at Wes and smiled.
"It looks like everything's okay now, right, Wes?" She asked him.
Wes, simply nodded his head as Rui continued to speak.
"That's good, because while we were sitting there I got an idea. I think we should go shopping for some Pokeballs."
"Why? Orre barely has any grassy areas so there are no wild Pokemon out here." Wes said to her.
"True but those guys said you can use the Snag Machine to capture other peoples Pokemon right?" Rui asked in response
Wes arched an eyebrow not liking where this was going.
"Don't worry I'll explain what I've got planned later." Rui said with a smile.
Wes simply shook his head not understanding what she was planning to do.
"Fine whatever. Lucky for you, I've got almost a thousand Pokeballs in a compartment in my bike."
The group was soon outside the city as the sun began to set in the sky. Wes went over to a small oasis by one of the walls where he kept his bike hidden with Rui and his Pokemon following him. When they arrived, he opened up a secret compartment on the back of the bike, that was stuffed with pokeballs. Rui gave Wes a worried look.
"Please tell me you didn't steal those Pokeballs from other trainers."
"No, I didn't steal them from other trainers, I stole them from the Team Snagem hideout a few days before I blew it up. I stole all of them so Team Snagem couldn't steal anymore Pokemon."
Rui nodded her head in understanding as Wes continued to Speak while he looked at the ground.
"To tell you the truth I feel a little bad that I've caused all of this trouble for them. Even though they were all lying, thieving bastards, they still treated me like I was family."
Rui arched an eyebrow curiously at that last statement and she couldn't help but ask a question.
"But, Wes, what about your real family?"
Rui immediately fell silent as Wes looked up at her with a very cold angry glare. She could here him seething and could see his hand shaking. It looked he was trying to hold himself back from slapping her. Rui became scared as she stepped a little bit away from Wes, but he got closer to her and got into her face.
"Don't you ever ask me that again." Wes said venomously to her.
he violently snatched some Pokeballs from the compartment before angrily storming off leaving her and his Pokemon behind. Several pokeballs fell onto the ground from the force of Wes's snatch. Rui picked them up and put them back into the compartment while she continued to Watch the upset Wes rest up against the side if the town wall. She waited at the bike for a few minutes with Espeon and Umbreon while Wes calmed down as she continued to wonder what could have happened to him to make him angry like that. She eventually saw him motioning for them to come on. Rui, Espeon, and, Umbreon, rejoined him and the group headed back into Phenac City.
"Let's go see the Mayor." Wes said before walking off
Rui said nothing and walked behind him as she felt that he was still upset with her, and he was. He hated anyone ever asking him anything about his past.
When they arrived past the town gate, Rui felt a sudden sharp pain in her head. It felt like she had just hit her head on something. Closing her eyes, she held her head as the pain began to increase. When she opened her eyes, she fell into a state of shock. Everything was black and red. The sky looked like it was covered in darkness and the water around the city looked like flowing blood. At this point Rui was scared. This felt like something from one of her nightmares, and what made things worse was she couldn't find Wes anywhere. Looking around she didn't see him, his Pokemon, or anyone else at all.
"Wes! Wes, where are you!?" She called out only to hear no response.
She was about to call out again, however she heard a voice that sounded like a small whisper. Rui began to tremble as the whisper became louder and louder. Rui was now completely terrified. The only thing she wanted to do was run but she was so scared she couldn't move. The loud whispers began to turn into violent screams and it sounded like it wanted to hurt her. She then saw something appear in the distance, and from what it looked like, it was a Pokemon. However Rui was not at all relieved because the Pokemon was the source of the angry whispers. It had dark red eyes and was emanating a black aura. It began to slow walk up to Rui screaming in anger and with a raised fist ready to strike. Rui wanted to scream but she couldn't. She was too terrified of what was coming towards her. Rui closed her eyes and covered covered her head in fear waiting for the Pokemon to attack.
"Rui! Rui!" A voice shouted.
Opening her eyes Rui didn't see the Pokemon anymore. Instead she was looking into the eyes of Wes. She then saw that her surroundings were no longer black and red and the screams of the Pokemon had stopped. She was back in the normal and peaceful Phenac city. She let out a sigh of relief but was still afraid of what had just happened. She stepped a little bit closer to Wes, because she felt safe when she was near him. However, even though everything was normal again, she couldn't help but feel scared as she looked around to make sure everything she had just seen was gone. Wes just looked down at the girl who was literally laying up against him and trembling in fear as she looked around.
"Rui, what happened?" Wes asked as he gave her a look of actual concern. "You just zoned out when we entered the city, and now you look like you've seen a ghost."
Rui looked up at Wes and let out a long sigh before saying.
"Oh, it's nothing." She lied as calmly as possible.
"Like hell, it's nothing!" Wes responded.
However, before he could confront her further about what just happened, they both saw the boy that had helped Wes untie Rui earlier today running toward them in a state of Panic.
"Oh...it's...you!" The boy said in between breaths as he dropped to his knees and tried to breath.
Wes and Rui both looked at him with concern and went over to him.
"Calm down, kid!" Wes said.
"What's wrong?" Rui asked completely forgetting about what had just happened to her.
The boy finally caught his breath before saying, "There's trouble at the Mayor's office. Those two dudes you beat earlier just went in there with another guy that I couldn't get a good look at. You both need to head over there before something happens to the Mayor."
Wes and Rui looked at the boy and then at each other.
"Let's get over there!" Wes said with determination to Rui before looking down at his Pokemon. "Espeon, Umbreon, I hope your ready to fight."
The two Pokemon nodded and the group ran straight for the Mayor's office.
The four of them ran through the city nearly running over people that were in their way, neither Wes nor Rui said anything to each other as they didn't want to risk being overheard by the crowd of people. As they approached the Mayor's office, Wes wondered who could be the third person that was working with those two flunkies that had kidnapped Rui. Could it have been the tall silver haired man he saw before?
When the group arrived at the the Mayor's Office, they burst through the door and saw the two thugs from earlier today standing in front of them with their backs turned.
"Hey you two flunkies, Didn't I kick your butts enough earlier?" Wes snapped angrily "What are you up to now?"
The two thugs turned around to face the person that was talking to them. However the Moment they laid eyes on the person they quickly froze up in fear.
"Oh Crap, Trudly, it's him again!" The thug on the right said as he shook in fear a little bit.
"Your right, Folly!" Trudly replied, terrified of the glare that Wes was giving him. "Where the heck is the boss!? We sure could use his help right about now!"
Both Wes and Rui glared at the with fierce determination to stop whatever it was they were doing. Wes began to slowly walked toward them with Espeon and Umbreon stalking up to them. Rui began to walk behind them, but she stopped when she began to feel a strange yet familiar sensation course through her body.
Wes didn't notice Rui at all as he stood with his fist clenched with Espeon and Umbreon ready to attack.
"Where's the Mayor? Where are you hiding him?" Wes demanded coldly
"L-Like we'd tell you!" Trudly replied nervously.
Wes began to growl a little bit as he glared at the two thugs before saying, "Tell me where you have the Mayor, or else I'm going to show that I'm just as dangerous as my Pokemon are."
Wes began to take a stop towards Folly and Trudly, and the two jumped back in terror as they each quickly threw out a Pokeball to save themselves.
"Go, Lotad!" Folly Shouted in a scared tone of voice
"Go, Duskull!" Trudly Shouted in the same tone of voice.
The Water Pokemon, Lotad appeared in front of Umbreon While the ghost Pokemon, Duskull appeared in front of Espeon.
Rui stared at the two Pokemon as she began to feel Lightheaded. Wes looked back and saw her holding her head like she was in pain.
"Keep it together, Rui!" Wes snapped at her before turning his attention back his opponents.
Each person fighting was ready to call out an attack, but before anyone could even utter a syllable, The battle was stopped by a new voice in the room.
"Now hold up there folks, don't start the show just yet!" The voice shouted from an open back corner door behind the Mayor's Desk.
Everyone in the room turned to the door as a tall figure came strutting out of the light and into the doorway. Everyone in the room was now seeing a tall slim man with a huge red and white Afro leaning against the doorway. He was wearing a yellow jumpsuit as well as yellow and blue sunglasses. Wes and Rui stared at him in confusion as Trudly and Folly grinned like Cheshire cats. The man began to dance toward the group with a grin on his face. He stood in front of Trudly and Folly before spinning around and pointing at Wes and Rui.
"So I take it you to darlin' younguns' are the ones who have been messin' with my boys?" He asked them with a grin on his face.
"Yeah that's them Master Miror B. that punks the one that took the girl away from us." Folly snapped while pointing a finger at Wes.
Rui began to get scared and stood right behind Wes who glared at the tall man in front of him.
Miror B. looked down at Wes as a the grin became wider. He then started to chuckle before breaking down into hysterical laughter.
"You boy's mean to tell me that you were bested by this darlin' Infant!? You've gotta be joking me!" He shouted as he howled with laughter.
Wes growled in anger at Miror B.
"Who do you think your laughing at, you Afro haired punk!?" Wes snapped as the man continued to laugh.
Wes Clenched his fist and was about to strike Miror B. but he felt Rui grab his arm to stop him from swinging
"Wes, don't!" She begged not wanting him to get hurt
Miror B. eventually stopped and wiped away a tear he felt rolling down his cheek from laughing so hard. He then looked at back at Wes as he let loose a few remaining chuckles.
"I gotta say I haven't laughed that hard in a long time," He said to Wes before turning to Folly and Trudly. "You boy's are frightfully pathetic if you lost to this youngun'." He then turned back to Wes. "Now darlin' what was your name, Wes or somethin' I hate to say it but this as far as your going because we can't let your little lady friend right there stay with you anymore.
Miror B pointed a finger at Rui who stood as close to Wes as she possibly could.
"So you're the one that wants her?" Wes asked in response
Miror B. nodded in response.
"That's right, you see, your little lady friend is no normal little lady because she has the ability to see things normal people can't see, and that just won't do for what we have planned."
Rui gasped in horror as she knew what Miror B. was talking about. Wes looked back at her in confusion wondering what secret she was holding.
"Ow!" Miror B. shouted before spinning into a pose "Now if you don't like pain like most people, Wes, you'll hand over the little lady to us or else we'll have to take her from you the hard way."
Wes looked back at Rui who was shaking like a leaf. He could just imagine what would happen if they had gotten their hands on her. She would probably be beaten, tortured, or killed if they took her. Scowling back at Miror B. Wes snapped his fingers a which made Espeon and Umbreon jump in front of him ready to battle once more.
"Not happening, you circus clown reject. I don't know what you want with her, but your not laying a finger on her. If you want her you'll have to go through me." He said in a low venomous tone that would make a person's skin crawl.
Miror B. smiled evilly as Trudly and Folly jumped in front of him.
"Don't worry Master Miror B. we'll take care of him." Trudly said confidently.
However, before they could make a single move towards their Pokeballs, Miror B. violently threw them backwards by their shirt collars.
"You two have embarrassed yourselves enough for one day." He snapped at his lackeys as he looked at Wes while grabbing a Pokeball. "I'll deal with this youngun' myself." He then spun around into another pose before shouting, "let the music play!"
Rui suddenly felt a sharp pain in her head whenever Miror B. brought out the Pokeball. It was the same pain she felt before but it was getting worse. Neither Wes nor Miror B. noticed her as Miror B. was ready to call out the Pokemon he had.
"You made a big mistake messin' with me darlin', Go, Makuhita!" He shouted
The little fighting Pokemon appeared in front of Miror B. with it's fist raised ready for battle.
Wes arched an eyebrow and quickly realized this was the only Pokemon his opponent was going to be using. With a new plan in mind Wes looked down at his Pokemon.
"Umbreon, come back." Wes ordered.
The black Pokemon looked at his master and shook his head in defiance.
"That's an order!" Wes snapped at Umbreon
Umbreon wanted to shake his head again but the look Wes gave him made him give up. He returned to Wes's side as Espeon stood in front of both of them.
"If he wants to battle one on one, then I'm not going to play dirty and battle two on one." Wes explained.
Rui looked at all the Pokemon as the pain in her head increased tenfold it was almost as if the Pokemon were the ones causing the pain. Rui felt tears form in her eyes as the pain continued to increase. Suddenly everything turned black and red just like when Rui entered the city, except this time she could see Wes and everyone else. The pain she felt grew and grew almost to the point where she was about to scream out in agony. However when she laid her eye's on the Makuhita she noticed something familiar about it. She then began to noticed a black cloud form around it and Rui gasped which made her snap out of her pain filled state of mind.
"Wes!" She shouted making Wes jump in surprise.
"What!?" He asked still surprised from her shouting all of a sudden.
"That Makuhita, it's the Pokemon I was talking about when we first came to the mayor. It's the Pokemon with the black aura, the one that attacks humans." She said in worried tone of voice.
Wes looked at the Pokemon and said, "If that's true I better knock this thing out fast." He then looked at Espeon who was waiting for an order.
"Espeon use confusion!" Wes ordered.
Espeon fired a wave of Psychic energy at the Makuhita but the Pokemon jumped out of the way without an order from Miror B. However it didn't wait for it's next order. Instead, it raised it's fist and rushed towards Wes and his group, but it didn't aim for Espeon, it was aiming for Wes! Before the young trainer could react, Makuhita swung a vicious blow to his ribs knocking the wind out of him and sending him flying to the side of the room, and colliding back first into the wall.
"Wes!" Rui screamed in terror as she ran over to him with Espeon and Umbreon right behind her.
She knelt own beside Wes and looked at him hoping he was alright. Wes groaned in pain as Rui put a hand on his shoulder.
"That's one mean, Pokemon." Wes said through the pain he felt as he held his ribs "That really hurt."
Miror B. laughed with delight as Wes tried to stand. Rui however tried to stop him as got to one knee.
"Wes, don't, your hurt." Rui said almost pleadingly.
Miror B. smiled in satisfaction.
"I told you you made a mistake messin' with me." he said before landing his eyes on Rui. "Makuhita attack the little lady!" he commanded.
The Makuhita then began to rush towards her with it's fist raised while growling and shouting. Rui saw this and and the vision she had when first came back into town flashed through her mind. She screamed in fear while covering her head as the Makuhita got closer and closer.
"Rui get down!" Wes shouted at her as pulled her down to his level.
He then wrapped his arms around Rui and and held her close to him, shielding her from the Makuhita. The Makuhita brought it's fist back ready to strike Wes but something suddenly jumped in front of Wes and it received the blow. Wes and Rui both looked up and gasped in horror as they saw the Makuhita violently striking another Pokemon.
"ESPEON!" Wes shouted as he saw his precious Pokemon being violently beaten by the Makuhita.
Espeon cried out in pain as the Makuhita delivered blow after blow to her pain filled body. She was utterly defenseless as the Makuhita continued to mercilessly assault her.
Wes tried to get up but the pain he felt in his ribs was to great. He then saw Umbreon, who was looking on in terror.
"Umbreon, help her!" Wes shouted at his Pokemon.
Umbreon however didn't listen he was to terrified at what he was witnessing to even move. The Makuhita continued to rain down his hard fist to Espeon as her cries started to become more and more loud. Wes felt tears come to his eyes as he feared that Espeon was living the last moments of her life if he didn't do something. He then looked up at Miror B. who crossed his arms and grinned evilly while nodding his head in satisfaction. Wes knew what he had to do to save Espeon.
"Please, Call off, Makuhita, I'll do anything." He begged as Miror B. looked down at him.
Miror B. however shook his head while he continued to grin menacingly.
"Sorry darlin' that just wouldn't make this tune work." He said almost psychotically "It looks like the song's over for your poor, scared, little Pokemon."
The Makuhita continued to beat Espeon relentlessly as Wes closed his eyes and let a few tears spill as he felt like this was the end. Rui began to cry to as she looked down not wanting to see Espeon die. However when she looked down, she saw the Snag Machine on Wes's arm and she quickly realized what had to be done in order to save Espeon. Wes's tears stopped when he heard Rui something quietly into his ear so Miror B. couldn't hear them.
"Wes you have to use the Snag Machine and capture, Makuhita!"
Wes looked up at Rui and then down at the snag Machine.
"Rui, I can't, I swore-"
Rui cut him off as she put her hands on his shoulders
"Wes you have too, it's the only way to save Espeon!" She said to him with a pleading look in her eyes.
Wes looked back at Espeon who was looking at her Master with fear in her eyes as she cried out for him.
Wes looked at Rui and nodded his head to her, knowing she was right. With her her help he was able to get to his feet but the pain he felt in his ribs made stumble a bit. He then used the arm he had the Snag Machine on and grabbed a pokeball with it. He quickly attached the ball to a part of the machine on his palm and there was a quick flash of light which nobody but he and Rui noticed.
"Hang on Espeon!" Wes shouted as he threw the pokeball with all the Power he had at Makuhita. He he grunted in Pain as he held his ribs while Rui looked at him worryingly. The Makuhita didn't see the pokeball coming and he disappeared with in a flash of light into the ball.
"What the-!?" Miror B. quickly shouted as he saw the disappearance of Makuhita. Wes and Rui had determined looks on their faces as the ball shook.
"Rui, quick, grab Espeon!" Wes ordered to the girl who was supporting him.
She nodded her head and ran over to Espeon as Wes held onto a wall for support. The ball continued to shake as she grabbed the badly injured Pokemon. She then went back to Wes's side cradling Espeon like a newborn child. The Pokemon whimpered and trembled in her arms, as the room went silent watching the ball. Finally the ball stopped shaking as Wes tensed up hoping he caught the monstrous Pokemon. After a second nothing happened and the ball remained motionless on the ground. Wes and Rui let out a sight of happiness and relief realizing that they were victorious. They had successfully snagged the Makuhita.
"You did it Wes!" Rui finally cheered as she couldn't help but hug him with one arm, completely forgetting that he was hurt.
"Ow! Rui! Stop Hugging Me!" Wes shouted in pain.
Rui quickly stopped and blushed in embarrassment as Wes glared at her for a second and softening his gaze.
"hehehe, sorry." Rui sad sheepishly.
Miror B looked at the Pokeball that had his Pokemon on it and gritted his teeth anger before.
"This isn't how the song goes!" He shouted with rage in his face voice before looking Wes and Rui who were both caring for Espeon. After a moment Wes picked up Makuhita's Pokeball and put it in his pocket. He looked at Miror B. with a look that would make Gonzap himself cringe a little bit in fear. As he spoke to Miror B. in a low venomous tone that made everyone in the room except Miror B. scared.
"You," he hissed as he pointed a finger at Miror B. "You did this to my Pokemon. I swear to you I'm going to make you pay."
Miror B. however didn't budge he glared angrily at Wes who was still glaring at him.
"You think I'm afraid of you little man, you don't know who your messin' with. You may have gotten that Makuhita but I suggest you and your lady friend go back to wherever it is you came from before you get into even more trouble."
Miror B. then left the room without another word, completely forgetting Trudly and Folly were still there. Both Wes and Rui glared at them as Wes walked over to them. The two squealed in fear as Wes now stood over them he then noticed to pokeballs on the ground beside that must have contained the Lotad and Duskull that were probably called back when he was battling Miror B. Wes picked up the pokeballs and threw each of the violent into the stomachs of Trudly and Folly. He then pointed at the door while glaring harshly at the two trainers that he's had enough of.
"Get out, and don't ever let me see you two again, do you understand me?" he hissed to them.
The two lackeys nodded their heads Violently and ran as fast they could out the door while tripping over themselves.
Once all of the enemies were gone Wes turned back to his group and saw Rui on her knees still cradling Espeon while letting Umbreon nuzzled he cheek. Wes then went over to them as he held his ribs which were still hurting and knelt down beside the injures Pokemon in Rui's arms.
"Espeon, don't ever scare me like that again, and thank you." He said softly to the Pokemon while stroking her head.
Rui looked up at the young man beside her and said, "We need to take her to the Pokemon Center and we also need to get you checked out Wes.
Wes shook his head in response.
"I'm fine." He said as he felt another surge of pain in his ribs.
Rui giggled at him before saying, "You're a terrible liar."
She then got underneath one of his arms and helped him up. Wes tried to get away but Rui gave him a stern look telling him to let her help him. Wes sighed in defeat and let Rui support him while holding Espeon. The group then picked left the mayor's office and headed straight for the Pokemon center.
By the time the group arrived at the Pokemon center, the sun had alright set and the moon was shining brightly over the night sky. Wes sat down in a chair beside Rui with an Ice pack over his ribs while Umbreon was asleep in his lap. The nurse did an X-Ray and Wes was relieved to hear that nothing was broken. The Nurse had take Espeon to the back 20 minutes ago to see what damage had been done. Rui sat silently watching the double doors as Wes looked at the ceiling in frustration. Rui could could hear her partner mutter something underneath his breath and she was naturally curious as to what he said.
"What did you say, Wes?" She asked him
"I said, twice," He replied with annoyance in his voice. "This is twice today that I had to bring my Pokemon to this damn place, I hate this place so much. Every time I come here I feel like I failed my partners and let the get hurt. How can I be so careless?"
Rui shook her head in disapproval of what Wes was saying.
"Wes, stop talking like that." She snapped sternly to him making him look at her. Rui's stern look finally softened when she began to speak much more sweetly.
"I know you don't really think that, and I know your Pokemon don't think it. Your a great trainer who cares for his Pokemon and the only reason the Pokemon got hurt was because they were protecting the one they love. They love you just as as much as you love them. So please don't beat yourself up anymore."
Wes looked down at the floor in silence before letting a small smile form on his face.
"Thanks, Rui." He said quietly
Rui smiled at him and sat back in her chair as she noticed that he was a little more relaxed now.
"Wes!" A voice suddenly called out startling the trio.
Wes and Rui both saw the nurse waving at them. They got up as Umbreon laid down in Wes's chair. When they arrived at the desk the nurse smiled and said, "I'm sorry to keep you both waiting for so long, Espeon is going to be just fine, however I would like to keep her hear overnight so she can rest. Is that alright with you.
Rui looked at Wes, he wanted to say no, he wanted to demand that the nurse give him back Espeon right now so they could leave. However, there was something about what Rui said that made him feel a little more at ease about leaving Espeon here for the night. After a long moment of silence, Wes nodded his head, which made both Rui and the Nurse smile.
"Is it possible for us to get a room to sleep here tonight as Well?" Wes asked.
The smile from the Nurse's face quickly faded away before explaining the situation to the two.
"Oh, I'm very sorry, but all our rooms are filled for the night because of the Colosseum tournament. However, I know you both are tired so I'm going to call the hotel in the Plaza and have them provide you with a room for the night, my treat."
Both Wes and Rui smiled at the nurse gratefully before the smile disappeared from Wes's face.
"Um, you will let me know when I can take my Espeon with me tomorrow right?" he asked,
The nurse nodded her head before replying with a smile on her face, "I'll give you a wake up call tomorrow morning and you can come take Espeon."
Wes sighed in relief and nodded his head in agreement as Rui now spoke up.
"Thank you very much Ma'am." She said kindly while bowing respectfully to her.
The two then left without another word with Umbreon following behind them. The trio walked through the quiet moonlit streets listening to nothing but the flowing water in throughout the city. When they finally arrived at the hotel. It took them less than five minutes to be to be told where there room was and even less time to find it. When the group went inside, they each let out a long tired yawn ready to turn in for the night. However, there was only one bed and Wes was not going to share a bed with Rui.
"You take the bed," Wes said to Rui "I'll sleep on the couch."
"But, Wes-" Rui complained trying to stop Wes but it was to late as he was already crashed out onto the couch falling asleep with Umbreon laying on top of him.
Rui now learned that if she would be traveling with Wes, there would be some times she won't be able to persuade him. With that said she got into the bed and quickly fell asleep.
Some time around midnight, Rui awoke and noticed that Umbreon had moved onto the bed and was sleeping peacefully. She couldn't help smile softly as she gently pet the Pokemon before turning her attention to Wes.
When she laid her eyes on him she became worried when she noticed that he was shivering. The jacket he wore wasn't providing much warmth for him. Rui felt bad for him he's been through a lot today and he deserves a peaceful sleep. Getting out of the bed Rui found a spare blanket in the closet and she went over to the shivering Wes. Without waking him she gently put the blanket over him and his shivering immediately ceased. He was now sleeping peacefully and Rui couldn't help but smile at him. She then went back into the bed and pulled the covers over herself. The trio then slept peacefully through the night under the moons warm, and comforting glow.
