Chrono's POV
My eyes snapped open as I bolted upright, I felt a stinging pain in my head as I looked around. I was in a hospital of some sort. I continued to stare at a wall when I heard a gentle voice. "Oh, you woken up" I turned my head to see a Gardevoir smiling at me. At first I didn't recognise it but the Gardevoir standing in front of me was a lot more pink than usual. I glanced weirdly at the Gardevoir before feeling another jolt in my head causing me to clutch it in pain. The Gardevoir ran over towards me gently laying me back down. I could see more clearly and realised she was pink and was wearing a nurse cap.
"Don't push yourself" She said in a worried voice. "You'll only make your head feel worse, rest for a little while". I took her advice and rested my head on the soft pillow while the Gardevoir say by the side of the bed. She glanced over making sure I was comfortable and sat quietly for a few minutes.
Then she spoke up again. "If you would like, there are some friends waiting outside to see you and I could let them in. I believe there was an Espeon, a Buneary, a Pikachu and some others. I nodded towards the Gardevoir and she walked out of the room for a while. I sat up again waiting for everyone to arrive.
The door opened once again to reveal the Gardevoir walking in followed by Luna, Rose, Glace, Flash and Ace. Rose hopped over to me with a scared look. "Are you okay, Chrono" She asked me in a frightened manner. I gave her a nod and turned to the others for also had worry in their eyes.
"Ok then" Rose replied with a hint of uncertainty in her voice. Ace approached me also with an uncertain look. "Umm, you feeling better now" Ace fumbled with his words as if he was trying to sound concerned and yet I could sense his hesitation. I glanced at him with a weird look while Flash walked up to me with an annoyed look.
"You going to speak or not" He asked me. I turned my head confused at the question as he continued. "Are you giving us the silent treatment now, you've already spoke to us so why are you not speaking now" Flash gave me an angry look as I blinked in confusion. I was sure I never spoke a word.
Luna stepped forward. "Chrono, did you actually talk" she asked me. I shook my head lightly to avoid another headache but it was clear enough. "That's a complete lie, we heard you speak before our last battle and Ace can back me up there"
Ace patted the Flash on the shoulders. "Calm down, Flash" he said trying to calm him down. "But I agree with Flash, I heard him speak before our matches in the tournament".
I looked at the two in confusion when I suddenly heard a voice in my head. "You can't keep me in here forever" I felt a stream of pain rush through my head. I clutched my head as the stream of pain came wave after wave. I could feel something struggling, something trying to force itself out. I pushed it to the back off my head as I felt myself slowly faint.
No one's POV
Chrono flailed around, holding his head up and yelling in pain. The others gathered around him as Chrono thrashed around in agony. Moments later Chrono fell back, his thrashing had ceased however he stilled had a pained expression.
"Please, may everyone leave the room so I can see him" The Gardevoir said, her voice littered with urgency. The others nodded their head understandably as they walked outside and peered through the window.
"Do you think he'll be okay" Rose asked worriedly. The others looked also with concern yet none could reply. Luna took a deep breathe before turning to Rose. "He will be fine" She said though her face seem to show otherwise. Rose nodded before they both turned back to the window.
What felt like hours later, the Gardevoir poked her head back out. "You all can come back in now but please be quiet" They all nodded as walked silently into the room. Chrono laid on the bed and was sleeping peacefully on the bed.
Rose started hopping towards the Umbreon. "Chro…" She stopped dead in her tracks as she felt her feet being lifted of the ground. She turned her head to see the Gardevoir shaking her head. "I'm sorry, but please refrain from disturbing him. He needs his rest." She then turned to everyone. "Everyone can stay for a while however I must ask you to leave later as we will continue treating him." Everyone nodded in understanding which the Gardevoir nodded. She released the Buneary before walking out the room. "I will give all of you some time together here and come in when it is time for the treatment, will that be okay". Everyone nodded to which she smiled and walked away.
Everyone turned back to the unconscious Umbreon who slept in a peaceful manner. His face however seemed disturbed and agitated. Minor cuts that were scattered around his body from the previous battles had been treated and were healing.
His friends sat by his bed, an awkward silence between them. They just sat by the bed waiting for another to speak. Soon Ace spoke up. "Rose, I was wondering, how did you know Chrono's name" Rose looked up, confused by the question. Ace continued. "I'm sure you had never met him in your life before he moved here and you claimed he hadn't spoken a word. So how did you know his name". Flash turned his head towards Rose as well. "Yeah, how did you know". Rose looked at the two nervously before turning to the eeveelutions. "Luna, Glace. Little help here". The boys turned to them. "Do you three know something that we don't" Flash asked in an annoyed manner.
"So what if we do, it doesn't concern you" Glace retorted.
"If it involves, Chrono then I believe we do have the right to know" Flash yelled back
"Like we're going to tell you anything" Glace shouted back. Before Flash could argue back he could feel himself being lifted into the air. Glace also seemed to have floated beside him and they turned to see a less than impressed Espeon.
"Will you two stop bickering before you wake Chrono up, it's bad enough that he is in such a condition but you two arguing, disturbing his rest is not helping" Luna scowled quietly at the two. "Now you two better get along or take it somewhere else, understand" Flash nodded, "Yes ma, am" while Glace just pouted. "Okay, okay I'll be quieter". Luna nodded before placing them back down to the ground. She then turned to speak to Ace "As for your question it would be best if we ask Chrono himself whether we'll be allowed to tell you about it" Ace had a look of disappointment however nodded in understanding.
"If it really is that important, then I should not pester you about it" Luna smiled before she turned to see the door behind her open. The Gardevoir from before had come back. "It's time for his treatment now, so I must ask you to leave the room. You are welcome to stay however I suggest you take your leave. It is getting late and he will have to stay overnight" Everyone walked out and watched as the Gardevoir sat down next to the bed. "That Gardevoir is right, it is getting late and we should be going back". Everyone nodded in agreement except Luna. "You all can leave, I want to stay for a bit longer" Luna told everyone.
"Are you sure" Glace asked. Luna nodded back to her
"Do you want me to stay behind with you" Rose asked Luna, her face showed that she was worried. Luna shook her head reassuringly.
"There isn't any need for you to, I will leave later anyway. I just need to stay a little longer, alone if that's okay if you guys" The others nodded, Rose a bit more hesitant.
"Okay, but you know who to go to if you need to, alright" Rose beamed. Luna chuckled before nodding.
"I know" She replied. "You all should be going soon, it's getting late" The other agreed and returned back to their homes.
Luna turned back to the window to see Gardevoir was still in the same position that she began with, her arms stretched out towards Chrono. She continued to watch the two before seeing the Gardevoir lower her arms and take a deep breathe. She turns her head towards Luna before smiling. She slowly lifted herself from the chair before walking towards the door. Luna walked towards her as she passed through the door. "So how is he" Luna asked worriedly
The Gardevoir gave her a smile. "He's fine, all he needs is a bit more rest and he'll be in perfect condition tomorrow"
Luna took a sigh of relief before replying. "Oh thank Arceus" The eeveelution then looked at the Gardevoir puzzled. "What exactly did you do, anyways?"
The Gardevoir sat down on a chair beside her. "All I did was go into his mind and tried to calm him down, since it looked like he wasn't hurt physically but rather mentally. Sort off like a head-ache"
"Did you manage to find out what happened to him" Luna asked. The Gardevoir shook her head.
"While I couldn't find the source of the pain, I managed to ease the pain in his head and he is now recovering from it" The eeveelution nodded before another question popped into her head.
"I'm just wondering, how did you enter his mind?" Luna asked. "Aren't dark types immune to psychic abilities?"
The Gardevoir just smiled. "It's true that in a normal situation a psychic type like me would not be able to enter the mind of a dark type, however when I was born I was given the strange ability to enter the minds of Pokémon. And not like see what the Pokémon is thinking but rather enter like as if it were a room. It was an interesting trait of mine which confused my parents as none of them had the ability"
Luna looked at her with upmost curiosity. "Really, when did you find out about it, is that the reason for your colour, how does it help you heal others, what do you mean by rooms" The Gardevoir just looked stunned, not expected to be bombarded by questions. Luna snapped back before apologising. "Sorry, I went a bit overboard there. Just really curious". The Gardevoir smiled before replying.
"That's okay, I'm fine with you asking me a couple of questions. Now to answer your questions I believe I found out about it during the time when I was a Kirlia as I was trying to figure out what my friend was hiding from me. And when I mean I enter the mind like a room it is usually like entering a singular room which represents the person's thoughts and feelings. For instance a room that has mirrors for walls could symbolise that the Pokémon is quite self-conscious as they always look at themselves. To help patients I usually try to find out the source of the problem by what the room looks like and try to talk to them about it since I usually deal with mental problems rather than physical ones. Also if I Pokémon is suffering from a head-ache I use my heal pulse while in the room, which is what I did with your friend"
Luna listened with great interest. "That's interesting, and what about your colour. I'm pretty sure that they are normally green or blue if they are shiny. I've never heard of a pink Gardevoir"
The Gardevoir shrugged lightly "I'm not too sure about it either. Lots of Pokémon have asked me that as well. I just pass it off as a mutation but I don't really mind in the slightest"
Luna smiled. "It's good that you don't let that get you down. I think pink suits you, really"
The Gardevoir blushed lightly. "Oh, you think. I always thought it looked weird" Gardevoir then looked towards Luna. "I need to ask, will you be leaving soon"
Luna's ears drooped. "Oh, I'm guessing I have to leave then" Luna slowly turned before the Gardevoir stopped her.
"Hey wait" Luna turned her head towards the Gardevoir as she spoke. "If you wish you can stay in your friend's for the night"
Luna turned herself fully and gave the Gardevoir a look of gratitude. "She walked over to the Gardevoir giving her a hug. The Gardevoir hugged back. "He must mean quite a lot to you". Luna thought for a while, wondering why she cared so much about the reckless Umbreon before nodding. As they separated the Gardevoir started to take her leave. "There should be spare blankets in the shelf to your friend's right" Luna nodded
"Thank you… um" The Gardevoir just smiled
"Almathea" She replied back before walking away
Luna smiled before walking into Chrono's room
Chrono's POV
"Ow, my head" I lifted myself from the bed glancing around. I found myself in the bed as usual however it was fully dark. My ring lightly illuminated the room which allowed me to see a little better.
My head was feeling better from the outburst of pain that occurred. I had guessed that everybody had left after my sudden jolt of pain. I was still confused what caused the pain. It came so suddenly when I was just talking to my friends.
That also reminds me of another question in my mind. Why did Ace and Flash say that I spoke to them during the tournament? I don't believe that I spoke to them at any point. Then again my memories of the tournament weren't exactly top-notch either.
I took a deep breath before plopping back onto my pillow. No reason to worry now, probably best if I just get some rest.
At that moment my ears picked up a sound that was emitted behind me. I sat up quickly and turned my head… to see Luna on a chair snoozing. I was extremely ashamed of myself not to pick up on her breathing first, though bearing in mind I was exhausted. What was she still doing her anyways? Was she that worried about me?
My train of thought stopped in its tracks when I saw Luna shivering. I could not bear to see her freeze after she stayed to look after me. It wasn't right. I thought for a while considering a solution to the problem. After thinking it through, I only had one solution. Only problem was, I wasn't too sure if I would be willing to take the embarrassment. My answer showed itself when Luna shivered once again.
I sighed before hopping of the bed. I walked over to her lifting her onto my back. I was surprised how light she was before gently lowering her onto my bed. I walked over to the other side of the bed and hopped into bed, trying to get comfortable. I felt Luna's fur snuggle up to mine. I could hear the sound of her melodic breathing close to my ear. I was basically cursing myself for my idiotic decision.
I was on the verge of jumping of and sleeping on the floor until I felt a certain paw wrap around my body. I was so glad that no one could see my face or I'd be mistaken for a Flareon. I decided to give up on trying to make this less awkward and go back to sleep.
For some reason it felt a lot easier to sleep with Luna being so close to me. I felt as if I would regret my decision tomorrow however I just decided I would with the problem when it comes.
Now if only I had released that there were blankets right beside me.
