A surprise from Unova
season 1 episode 7 (English version)
I still have in my head my cousin's voice… OMG, she talks with the telephone too much, I think. I'm just having a headache, with the foots ligaments destroyed. And I'm so hungry!
After about 5 minutes, we arrive at the Dark Cave. While we start to study it, Ylenia takes some photos.
«Mmmhh… so this cave passes under almost all the Johto region…» I say.
«Yes. Following this cave, you can arrive at Blackthorn City, but you can also return to New Bark Town, – observes James with the Pokédex between his hands – and I also read that they're doing some works to get it open to traffic»
«Really?» says Lucy, surprised.
«Yes. It's like a tunnel. That makes the road to Blackthorn City shorter, 'cos currently if you wanna go to that town, you must reach Violet City, then take the motorway. This surely simplifies the life»
«That's right»
«Is Blackthorn City the next town? After Violet City?» asks me David.
«No, no, no! The road is so long! Blackthorn City is the last town!»
«Ah ah… encouraging…» he answers me with a little ironic laugh.
We put our bikes on a little stone wall, then David takes the map and starts to study it. I lie on the ground, James, Julia and Lucy start to play with the iPad, and Ylenia starts to write her travel diary. Suddenly, we are disturbed by a scream:
«Hey guys! Go away! Go away!»
We turn our heads to the scream source, and see a Pokémon running down from a slope. While it "lands" in front of us, we see a big flame mountain coming to us very fast. Instinctively, I cover myself, but when I realized that nothing was coming, I open my eyes and see that this strange Pokémon used Protect. That's a Pokémon I've never seen before: white body, blue tail and red mane, it's a little horse, maybe a pony.
When all finished, we see again the two Team Rocket's members, Butch and Cassidy.
«Why do you attack from behind? Cowards! Why don't you attack me first? Let these guys alone!»
What the… a talking Pokémon?! That's the first I find after Dialga and Palkia! And… it's a male. Butch and Cassidy got scared, and start to run away shouting:
«What Pokémon is that?»
«I really don't know, but we should better go away!»
The Pokémon snorts and starts to talk again:
«You cowards! – then he turns to us – Are you ok guys?»
«Y-Yes…» answers Renamon, very surprised.
«This Pokémon can talk!» comments James with his eyes out of the head.
«Yes, isn't that fantastic?» says him smiling to us.
We approach him, then I ask:
«Who… who are you?»
«I'm Keldeo, nice to meet you!»
«Keldeo? I've never heard this name before… one moment, please»
I take my Pokédex, which shows me some information about this Pokémon:
"Keldeo, the Colt Pokémon. By blasting water from its hooves, it can glide across the water. It excels at using leg moves while battling. It comes from the Unova region"
«You come from Unova?!»
«Yes»
«And why you're here?» intervenes James.
«I often come to the Johto region for a vacation, I like this place. But…»
«But…?»
«My mentors don't want me to talk with humans…»
«Your mentors? You mean Cobalion, Terrakion and Virizion?»
«Of course, do you know them?»
«Yes, I know them, I have them on my Nintendo DS»
But I don't know why he calls them "mentors"… maybe he has grown with the Sacred Swordsmen?
«What? Did you catch them?»
«Huh? Oh, no no no, I mean… yes, I know them»
«Oh, thanks to Arceus… ehm… sorry for my reaction, but they don't want to be caught…»
I'm so stupid sometimes… why don't I think before speaking?
My girlfriend arrives:
«Keldeo, why they don't want you to talk with humans?»
I answer her:
«My love, you should know it… humans are the most dangerous race in the world, it's natural, they want to protect him… and I can't think to what could happen if they discover us with you, surely they would kill us»
«Don't overdo it, eh eh! Now they are quiet in Unova region, don't worry. If they were here, I would talk to them, trying to change what they think about humans. However, you haven't tell me your names yet»
«I am Mirkho, she is my cousin Julia and she is my girlfriend Renamon»
One by one, my friends tell their names to Keldeo.
«Nice to meet you again, guys. Where are you going to?»
«Violet City» answers Ylenia.
«I'm going to Violet City too! We can reach the town together, what do you think?»
«I'm agree! Are you agree, guys?»
«Yes, Mirkho»
«Ok, but we are by bicycle, can you run quite fast?»
«Of course I can! You're… David, right?»
«Right»
I take my backpack.
«Let's have a break. Keldeo, do you want something to eat?»
«Yes, I'm a bit hungry… thank you guys»
«You're welcome, bro»
We sit down. When Keldeo sits between me and James, I see a little piece of paper in his red mane.
«Keldeo, you have something right here… wait a sec… ok»
«What's it?» he asks.
I read the first row and I got surprised: there's the supermarket name where I went yesterday, and more under, the name of the cheese I bought for my piadina!
«Keldeo! So you are the one who stole us the cheese yesterday!»
«Ah… was it yours? It was so exquisite…»
The Pokémon lowers his muzzle. I hug him gently:
«You should have come to us and ask for it, we wouldn't have told you "no"»
«I-I'm sorry… I was really hungry… would you ever forgive me…?»
«Of course we forgive you! The cheese leftover is the last of our problems! Don't worry»
«T-Thank you! You are good and gentle humans, I can't wait to tell it to my mentors! And… I would never thought to be caught this way… with a ticket!»
«Yeah, and I don't think you've ever been at Savignano sul Rubicone, right?»
«Savignano? No, never… where is it?»
«In the real world, near Rimini, where we come from»
«You come… from the real world?! Wow, that's incredible!»
We start our break: we eat berries, sandwiches, fruit juices and more other.
«Guys, – starts the Colt Pokémon – I want to explain this situation… after I've stolen you the cheese, I've started to follow you because… ehm… you began to seem pleasant to me, and I also wanted to know why my mentors hate humans. Honestly, I didn't understand why. I know, not all
the humans are like you, but you have something special, you're unique!»
«What a poet!» my girlfriend comments with a smile that makes Keldeo blush.
«Do you know what I think? You're perfect to be in My Little Pony show»
Keldeo looks me with strange eyes:
«What?! Why I should be with the ponies?»
«I don't want to offend you, don't worry, it's a way to say that you're very nice. But… do you know them?»
«Yes, some ponies are my friends»
«What? Your friends? Does that world exist too?»
«Of course! Didn't you know it?»
I'm so surprised, really surprised. When Keldeo see my Poker Face, he asks me if I'm fine.
«That's… oh, we will talk about it again when I will see Princess Celestia in my home saying that is all real… up to 2 weeks ago I was ignoring this world existence too!»
«So you know her!»
«Hey… "knowing her" is a big word, I saw her in the cartoon one time, my cousin (not Julia) watches ponies. But I repeat it, stop talking about it!»
«Eh eh… you're so serious»
The truth is that I don't hate them, I'm just not interested.
«My friend, I don't know how much you'll stay with us, but one day I want you to try a piadina»
«I'm curious. After all, I've been attracted by that superb smell! I can't wait, Mirkho!»
«Ok. Believe me, you'll like it»
«Hey, Mirkho… you're the only who hasn't show me your Pokémon! Come on, let them out!»
«Yeah, you're right. So, guys, go out!»
I take my Pokéballs and open them.
«Here they are: Riolu, Jolteon and Mareep!»
Keldeo greets all:
«Hi friends! I'm Keldeo, how are you?»
They jump with a smile on their faces, then I give them some Pokémon food.
«They're so cute… I'm happy to travel with you guys for a little»
«I'm afraid of one thing. – says Lucy, who up to now haven't talked so much – If Team Rocket attacks us from behind like today…»
«Don't worry! Up to when I travel with you, you should feel safe!»
«So, come on guys, Violet City isn't so far»
«One day, I'd like to visit your world» says Keldeo.
We take our bicycles and started to go, with Keldeo who follow us trotting.
«Keldeo, when you're tired, just tell it, we'll stop for a moment»
«Ok, Mirkho, thanks!»
From now, the road becomes more larger. Me and my girlfriend open the group, Keldeo closes it.
«Guys, at 3 o' clock I want to stop, there is Kuro's soccer match»
«Who is that Kuro? You have mentioned him for the last 2 days, but you never said anything about him!»
«He's a soccer player of Mahogany Town Football Club, I've met him two days ago. James, do you remember him? We saw him in TV when we were at Cherrygrove City!»
«Yes, but we'd like to meet him too»
As I said before, at 3 o' clock we stop on a meadow. Keldeo and the others Pokémon start to play with the ball, while me and James "tune" the iPad. When we find the match's channel, I lie down. While the others start to talk, Keldeo improvise himself Del Piero and make all the Pokémon run.
Returning to the soccer match, a 25' an Azalea Town's forward falls in the penalty area, without any touch, but the referee gives penalty.
«That's a mistake… it's not penalty!»
Azalea Town scores, then some players of Mahogany Town protest.
After the first half, Mahogany Town-Azalea Town 0-1. Fifteen minutes later, while the 2nd half begins, Keldeo comes to me:
«So, how is it?»
«They're losing… the referee gave to the others an inexistent penalty»
«Be patient… soccer is all a mafia»
«Ah ah ah… right Keldeo. Ah, excuse me, don't make Riolu run, she lost a battle before meeting you, she's still a bit tired»
«Oh, that's why she's not in perfect form. Ok, I understand. Seeya later»
Just a few minutes, and Mahogany Town scores with Kuro thanks to a mistake of Azalea Town's defense.
«Goal! Go Kuro go!»
Ten minutes later, the match is almost over. In front of me, I see Keldeo doing something behind my backpack.
«Keldeo, what are you doing?»
But he doesn't answer me.
«Keldeo!»
I move my backpack, and I got a surprise!
«But… my headphones!»
He moves the right headphone and says me:
«Huh?»
«My headphones, Keldeo! What are you doing?»
«What do you think he's doing? He listens to the music» says me James.
«I see! I've never seen a Pokémon who listens to the music with the headphones!»
«So, what? In this world there are a lot of things we've never seen and that surely we will see!»
«James is right. – my cousin arrives – Last week you broke the balls 'cos Riolu used the face powder, today you broke the balls 'cos Keldeo uses the headphones… what's going on, Mirkho?»
«Nothing, I only think that's all strange… ok, ok, I should better shut up. Keldeo, you can continue listening to the music, if you want»
«Huh?»
Oh my Arceus… "nothing" I answer him.
The soccer match ends 1-1. Good, I think. Then, I give back the iPad to James. Just a couple of seconds and I say to the group:
«Hey, guys, we should better resume the journey. Come on! Keldeo, what you were listening to?»
«This one» he says.
«Madonna? Good choice, she's a very good singer» I answer giving him two knocks on his ass.
We take the bikes. After about 20 minutes, we start to go through the first buildings. But suddenly, a girl stops us for a Pokémon battle.
«Hey, you. – she says to me – Wanna enjoy a battle?»
«I would like to, but my Pokémon aren't ok…»
Keldeo arrives near me and says:
«Don't worry, use me! Friends always help each other, right?»
The girl, with dark red hairs, got scared:
«H-He talks… really?»
«Yes, he's telepathic… so, since he offered himself… let's start the battle» I say quite stressed getting off the bike.
The girl, who says his name is Helen, sends out a Bayleef.
«Oh… Keldeo, we must be careful, you're weak against this type. We try to make us less harm as possible, otherwise… who will listen your mentors…»
«Agree. I am ready!»
«Keldeo, use Focus Blast!»
He jumps and hits Bayleef without even giving him time to move.
«No, Bayleef! Wow, your Pokémon is very fast!»
«He's not mine… he's accompanying us, but he doesn't belong to any of us»
«Oh… ok. Bayleef, Energy Ball!»
I order Keldeo to dodge it, but incredibly also Bayleef turns its head in the direction he has moved and hits him in full, making him fall to the ground.
«I knew you would have tried to dodge the attack, and I was able to guess which way, so I acted accordingly»
«Keldeo, are you okay?»
He gets up without problems.
«I'm not hurt, I can continue»
«Good. Use Retaliate!»
Just as he is going to hit, he's hit with an endless series of Vine Whip. Now Keldeo is beginning to tire a bit.
«I've never seen a Pokémon like that, but it doesn't seem so strong… we have you in hand»
«The fight is not over yet. It so happens that this is a Legendary Pokémon of the Unova region»
«Oh yes? He does not show it, at least until now»
«You say? Keldeo, how about you show how much you are Legendary? Come on, show her the best of your repertoire!»
The little pony starts to run, then jumps high, then after three or four somersaults his horn glows and becomes much taller and bigger than what it's in reality and, while hitting the opponent, a strong light blinds us all. At the end, Bayleef is grounded, and the appearance of Keldeo is slightly changed.
«Bayleef can no longer fight, Mirkho and Keldeo win!» says James, who was put as referee.
«I-Incredible…» says the girl, while letting the Pokémon in its sphere.
«K-Keldeo, but… what move was that?!»
He joins me joyful and starts jumping.
«I did it! I did it! I do not believe… how did I do it?!»
«To do that?!»
«This was Secret Sword, Mirkho! You managed to make me use it!»
«Actually, I've never told you to use it… seeing how you're happy, I think I busted a taboo… and why did you change appearance? Your horn… and that bunch there that reminds me of someone…»
«I don't know, I don't really know… I have to try to ask my mentors»
The girl approached me, pats Keldeo and waves in front of my face a nice fifty and, greeting everyone, she resumed her way.
«Mh… sure that here the economic crisis is practically impossible, with all these money running ev'rywhere»
After James and David give me five, we continue approaching to the city, but only after giving an Oran Berry to Keldeo. We slow down a bit obviously because it's better not to make him run too much, after all the grass type moves which was hit by before the "final show".
But finally, at about six o'clock, we enter into the city, on which stands a tall skyscraper, whose structure was writhing like a propeller. Wasting no time, we follow the signs to the Pokémon Center, where we enter together with Keldeo after obviously parked the bikes.
«Hello, nurse Joy» we greet.
I'm happy to know that nurses Joy are different, in this world, not like the anime, where they were identical!
«Hi guys, tell me everything»
«Can you let our Pokémons rest?
«I'm here for that. Put the Pokéballs in these trays, please»
«He would need a nap too» I point Keldeo, who meanwhile had returned to his natural form.
«Hello, Keldeo! You're back here in Johto?» says her as soon as she sees him.
«Hello! Yes, I'm back, and I'm having fun, as always»
«I see you have made some friends»
«Yeah, and I'm happy, they're nice»
«I don't doubt. Wait a minute… you are those guys Professor Oak said he wanted to see?»
«Yes, we have been told by our friend that the professor wanted to see us»
«Good. He called here two days ago asking to call him back when you were there. Keldeo, you want the usual massage?»
«Yes, the usual, thanks»
«All right, come in then»
Following the nurse, Keldeo says us:
«I'll be right there, guys, it's a matter of a few minutes»
«All right» replies James.
After the Colt Pokémon and the nurse leave, Ylenia asks me:
«Mirkho excuse, I'm a bit confused… tell me who warned who please…»
«Of course. Actually, I'm losing myself into it too… so, this morning Ash called me, and he told me he was going to warn prof. Oak that we had come from the real world, but someone else, that Kuro of Mahogany Town FC, had already warned him. Then, as I understand it, the professor called this center because he has been warned by Kuro that we were on the way to here, and rightly asked the nurse to inform him of our arrival»
«Ah… now it's clear, thanks»
«Anyway, it seems natural to me the curiosity of the professor for the real world people»
«Yes, I had thought it too»
Meanwhile, after asking permission, we go into the room given to us in order to get comfortable. Especially me because, after dinner, I have to go. We note that the structure of the rooms is identical to the center of Cherrygrove City. Quickly we "choose" the beds and, unlike the other city, we settle our stuff here, because of the badges, we will stay more days.
«How about if we start to decide the order to challenge Valerio? Here there is his gym, and at Cherrygrove City he told me that he can challenge up to two a day»
«Here, I wanted to ask you a few things – says me my cousin – one is: why only two?»
«Well, probably to don't tire Pokémon too much»
«Ah… then here… I, Ylenia and Lucy decided not to run for medals, but for the "ribbons" in the live shows… like, athletics and stuff, contests, etc., all right?»
«Hey, that's great, it isn't a bad idea. Just like Dawn. Ok, then, everyone is free to do what he is mostly inspired by, without problems. Then… is there someone else who wants to do another "job"? Tell me now so I have things clear»
«I – answers James – as a child, when I watched the anime, I wanted to be a Pokémon Ranger, and I always had this dream, so I wanted to enter in a school for Ranger…»
«Gee, you're great, that's a good thing, be at the service of Pokémon to save and/or help them. I like the Pokémon Rangers too, but I have always preferred to become a trainer. So much so, in both jobs you are always surrounded by Pokémon, right?»
«Right»
We give us five, then I continue to "program":
«So… me, Rena, David and Julia challenge the gyms… perfect, because you know where I am, who begins tomorrow?»
«I… prefer to look. Excuse me, but maybe it's better if I watch a battle first…» replies my girlfriend.
«Well, then… I guess you two ... okay?»
«It's fine, no problem. You think going to school»
«Ok, in summary, you and David tomorrow, me and Rena on July 2nd»
We give us five everyone, then I hear the phone in the room (the landline one) ringing. I answer and I hear the nurse Joy saying that our Pokémon are in perfect health.
«Guys, the Pokémon are ready, she asked us to come and take them»
«I'll go» says Lucy.
I finish arranging the stuff in the drawers, then I lie down. Lucy comes with our Pokéballs in hand. One thing: to distinguish all the balls, we have labeled them with the names of our Pokémons.
«She also said that the prof. Oak will arrive tomorrow and that in twenty minutes we can go down in the dining room»
From behind the girl Keldeo appears:
«What are we going to eat? I'm so hungry…»
«Do you arrive only now?» I say him, smiling.
«I was downstairs to talk. You know, me and the nurse we've known each other for a few years…»
«I noticed it… anyway, I don't know what we'll eat, but one thing is sure: you and I are identical… two bottomless pits!»
«Oh yes, it's true, eh eh»
«I can't wait to know prof. Oak in person…»
«You said this morning, James, we got it. Me too, and a lot, believe me»
I lay in bed for a moment to relax and to "test" the bed, because tonight I won't sleep here, but in my house in the real world. In the room our Pokémon teem in a way as to make it seem a market.
At the hour of dinner, we let all the Pokémon into the Pokéballs and, neatly, we go downstairs and sit at the table.
«Man, I would've liked to eat outside on the terrace also today» says James.
«Yeah… it's nice to eat outside while the sun sets… and when it's dark, we do the morons around until we fall down!» I tell him, then we give us five.
We sit down and take everyone a nice pizza.
«If you like, later I go to talk to Valerio for the challenges»
«Right, Julia, good we "book" and we'll be ok with it» I reply.
Finished eating, while I go in the room to get ready, Julia leaves. After a few minutes the others reach me. I take my dimensional badge in my hand.
«You leave?» asks me Lucy.
«Oh, I have to… if I'd have got better marks in school, I'd remain here, but since I warmed the chair throughout the year…»
«Be proud of it» adds Ylenia.
«I don't have to be proud, absolutely not. I don't enjoy it, it's a matter in which throughout the year I didn't understand nothing!»
«That will be a lesson, then. Your school is the first place where you mustn't lie down on the laurels»
«I know… I thought it was easier than what it seemed, I admit, but now stop with the scolding»
«I'm not scolding, I'm just trying to make you understand»
«Okay, okay, I got it! What time is it?»
«Almost 10 o' clock, it's early… wanna come out for a walk with us before you go?»
«All right… but where is Keldeo?»
«It's still downstairs, he took another pizza» replies James.
«Again? But how much big is the stomach of that one?»
«Well, he hasn't filled himself with beer like the two of us»
After a while, he comes upstairs.
«Keldeo! You have the face covered with tomato! Get clean» makes Julia, horrified.
Me and James laugh.
«Rather – continues my cousin – James, you who want to do the ranger, the nurse told me that here in Violet City there is a school for Pokémon Ranger»
«And where?»
«Three blocks later, you take that street then turn, go for 200 meters and you find it in front of you»
«Oh, Julia, did you come back? I haven't noticed you»
«I came now eh… good evening. However Falkner agrees, it's all ok»
«Perfect. I would suggest one thing… we go up to the school for rangers then we go back?» I propose.
«To do what? I don't think it's open at this time, we go there to do what?»
«Just to see it, Julia»
«I agree» says James.
We all agree, and therefore, bicycles to hand, we start our ride. Along the way my cousin and Ylenia stop in a clothing store and literally clear it. Keldeo makes me an epic poker face, then he shake his head.
«Excuse me for saying so, Mirkho, but for me your cousin is not fine…»
«No no Keldeo, you're right… when she enters a store, she becomes crazy, like all women»
«I'm always here huh» says me Renamon from behind.
«Yes, oh well… "all" so to speak… well, thank goodness that you know to hold your "urges"»
When they go out, they struggle to put the stuff on the bicycle: the basket in front and the two side bags aren't enough, then I carry the last bag in my bicycle basket.
In a little we reach the place, with the help of road signs. It's a nice big building, a style that looks similar to our 19th century. Above the entrance door hang two flags: one seems to be the one of the Johto region, and the other, after a thorough search with the help of the Pokédex, we find that is the Pokémon Ranger Federation one.
«Which one is the headquarter of the Federation?» asks James.
«Well, let's consider the two games about the Rangers» replies David. I add:
«Right! So ... or in the Almia region or in the Oblivia one»
Immediately after my answer I hear the voice of a woman behind us:
«Almia is the official headquarter, in the Oblivia region there is a branch office»
We turn, and the lady, blonde, greets us.
«Good evening, Miss… do you work here?» asks James.
«Of course, I teach the use techniques of the Stylers»
«Fantastic! I would like to sign up here, can you tell me how to do?»
«Of course, you you must submit the registration form at the office of the school. Come, I'll take you there»
«It's open at this time?!»
«Yes, because there are also evening classes. Now we are in the summer, and then there are only two or three training courses in a while, but in the school season, there are also evening lessons»
Together we accompany James inside the school, which has a design in decor from the entrance to say the least admirable. The school office is the section where there are also the headmaster office, the teachers' room, a laboratory and the bar.
«This guy wants to register here. Do you help him?» Says the teacher speaking to a lady with curly and black hair sitting at a computer.
«Of course, Manuela, just let me know where I put the block of the registration forms… – looks for them in a closet – ah here they are. Who is the guy…?»
«It's me» James looks at the counter.
«Well, fill this sheet, when you finish, you'll give them back to me ok?»
«Ok, thanks»
«I greet you all, I have a lesson in a classroom. – says the teacher, then turning to James – You'll be a future student of mine, then; take care and seeya»
«Same to you, Miss» he replies.
After her, we leave also us. He makes me read the registration form, where there are written the same things: full name, place of birth, current address, choose from daily and night lessons and so on. But I have a doubt:
«James, excuse me… what will you do with the place of birth and residence? Will you invent them?»
«No. I write that I'm from Rimini, if they don't know where it is, I say that it's in the real world, that's all»
«Truism» I comment with a giggle.
James is leaning on a table down the hall and fill properly the whole form.
«Now where are we going? You have to return it in the school office»
«I have to make a photocopy of the ID card, if you haven't read, it's written down here»
Made a photocopy, we come back in the office. The secretary reads everything well, then says:
«Real World, right?»
«Yes» replies James, a bit surprised.
«You're not the first. It's nice to know that people from another world is interested in Pokémon. Perfect, you put your phone number, we'll inform you in due course for further information, ok?»
«OK, goodbye»
«Seeya next time, guys, good evening»
«Same to you, Miss»
Leaving the school, James says:
«Boy, it's weird… everyone here knows the existence of the real world, but in the real world no one knows the Pokémon one!»
«These are the cases of life» smiles Lucy.
«Rather, did you choose the daily lessons or the evening ones?» asks David, while James puts the ID card in his wallet.
«I've chosen the evening ones, this "school" begins in September as our own, and in the morning I have the "normal" school»
«Let's come back to the Pokémon Center now, I have to go, remember»
«It's true, it's 20 to 11 pm, let's go» agrees Julia.
In less than no time we mount our bicycles and we return to the Pokémon Center. We settle everything in the drawers and the closet, and in the backpack I put only the essentials: a short-sleeved shirt, pants that reach the knee, sunglasses and, of course, the Pokéballs. I give 5 to everyone, I hug and kiss Renamon and eventually also Keldeo comes to greet me:
«Bye, Mirkho, good luck, seeya tomorrow»
«Bye puppy, seeya» I say hugging him.
After the others have settled their stuff, I grab the dimensional badge.
«Rimini, my house»
In front of me opens a black hole, and starts to suck air.
«Wow, amazing!» says an open-mouthed Keldeo.
«Are you sure that saying "my house" it will take you where you said and not in the home of another? I mean, does it know what is your home?» asks me my cousin.
«It isn't stupid… quiet, I have said it many times and it always worked out well. When Dialga and Palkia have "taken" me, they did it when I was at home, so when I was given the dimensional badge, they "made" it knowing where I live. Just to talk a little»
I greet all for a last time and I dive Tania Cagnotto style into the portal. When I get home I see that there's the window of my bedroom open.
«Seriously? She has the fear of thieves and leaves the windows open?» I angrily shut the window after pulling down the shutter. But when I go in the living room, I have a nasty surprise:
«Oh, for Arceus… what the hell has happened here?»
Television was turned to the left, the window open, the couch with bearings out of place, the big picture that stands on the wall behind the couch was crooked to one side, and a plant placed in the middle of the room with the topsoil around it.
«What the fuck did she do here?»
Instinctively I open the front door and scream downstairs:
«Grandma! What the fuck is this mess over here?»
«Uh… maybe I forgot to put all in place, sorry» she answers softly.
«"Sorry" a couple of balls, you mustn't even come up here! Stay in your house, ok?»
«You're back?»
I close the door.
«Riolu, come out»
I let her out.
«Do you want to give me a hand to put everything in place?»
She responds nodding and shows me a kind of thumb up.
«Thank you, puppy, let's start, then we go to bed»
Riolu puts the picture straight, moves the vase to its original position and cleans the ground floor, I straighten the TV, close the window and settle the sofa. Finished everything, Riolu goes to get a snack from the fridge (when I emptied the fridge I forgot it… I hope that is still good to eat). A short exit to the terrace before pulling down the shutters and going to sleep.
The view from my terrace at night is fantastic… as I said, it relaxes me. Through the inland you can see all the hills full of lights, that recall good memories in my head: I've always gone in those places as a child, and I enjoyed a lot. In my room, I let all my Pokémon out, and together we get to sleep. Who under the covers with me (Riolu), who, as usual, at the bottom of the bed (Jolty) and instead Mareep lies down on the carpet on the floor. Tomorrow I expect a heavy morning… I'd better sleep now, because tomorrow I have to wake up at 7 o'clock. Another thing for sure: in my cousin's home my grandma didn't go because my aunt had took her the keys… I should do that too, because it's becoming a really stressful thing; even during the RiminiComix she had entered my house… that's enough. Good Night.
THE END
