Okay, I am back! I am sorry it took so long, I have been on a Monk and Psych spree. If you guys haven't watched it, you should. It just started again on USA network… it is awesome. Anyway, I guess you guys opened this to continue a story…. So I will get on with it.
I approached the nurse's desk gliding around the other people in line with ease. Once I got to the front Nurse Joy had the Pokémon sitting on the tray. I looked at it closely and sighed, "Thank you so much Nurse Joy." She smiled at me and nodded and I walked away.
"Oh, it is so cute! Is it yours?" May squeaked. I jumped; I didn't even realize she had made her way behind me. She had obviously frightened the poor raccoon too because he put his tail over his masked face and curled into a small ball. I cooed at it before answering.
"No, I told you remember, I found it on the road and carried it back," I complied. She nodded and continued to examine it. "He seems pretty nice, but I am not sure if it is ready to live on its own again. I at least want to take it back to where I got him," I said. She nodded.
"Sounds like a plan. Yet, are you sure you don't want to keep it?" she asked. I stopped staring at the precious thing in my arms to look at her. "This one is really cute, and you never really see them in too many contest ... I am sure you can train it and use it to get several ribbons," she finished. I nodded and staring at him. I did want to keep him, but I would feel bad just capturing him after what he had been through. Before I could say anything Paul walked into the center.
"Hey, do you think I should keep this Zigzagoon?" I questioned. He looked at me and scoffed. "What?" I questioned. I then proceeded to push the Pokémon closer to him. I brought it back to my chest when I realized it was trembling with fear. I giggled a little; Paul could scare just about anything.
"Nothing, I could care less if you wanted to keep it or not. It is weak, anyone can see that," he answered. I looked down at the raccoon and smiled. I wouldn't listen to Paul anyway; I don't even know why I asked. I was about to walk away until I saw him turn towards me out of the corner of my eye. "Hey, do you own one of those Poke… gadget… things?" he stuttered. I looked at him for a moment and pulled out my Pokedex.
"You mean this?" I questioned. He nodded and then began to reach towards it. I quickly drew it back. "Wait a second, why don't you use yours? I know you have one," I declared. He frowned at me and rolled his eyes. Without saying a word he just put out his hand. "Well, where is yours? You lost it didn't you? What makes you think I will trust you with mine?" I questioned.
"Give me the thing, and I didn't lose it, I was in a hurry to leave and I left it at home with Reggie. If only I knew I would have had to travel with a loud mouth idiot like you, I would have just stayed at home," he sneered. I frowned but handed over the machine. I would rather let him win than argue around the poor Pokémon, he was already afraid of something.
I walked outside and sat the raccoon on the ground. "Hey, little guy. Would you like to travel with me?" I asked. He unfurled and stared at me. I smiled down at him and stroked his fur gentled and it then began to press it body upward towards my hand. "So, what do you say?" I asked. It cooed and then began to run circles around me. "That's great! Now let me show you my other travel partner," I said. I then searched through my stuff and found my other pokeball. "Lopunny, spotlight!" I called. The bunny gracefully front flipped through the air and landed near our newest company. Zigzagoon stared at her for a little while but then began to run around her excitedly. I smiled.
"Hey, Dawn right?" someone asked. I turned quickly to see Drew standing there. I smiled and nodded. I still hated him, but I had to admit, he was pretty cute; I could see why May liked him. "I was looking for May, have you seen her?" he asked. I again nodded, and then felt stupid. He probably thought I was slow just nodding and not answering.
"Um, yeah," I answered. I smiled and pointed behind him in the direction of the center. "She was sitting in the waiting room," I finished. He nodded and continued to watch me. "Can I help you with anything else?" I questioned. I then realized how nervous I truly was; I didn't know why though.
"Yeah," he answered. He then took a seat on the grass and patted the ground beside him. I nervously took the empty spot and looked at him. After half realizing I was staring I turned and looked at my two Pokémon who were frolicking through the empty meadow. "I need your help, I really need to know May's favorite color," he said. I looked over at him and quickly shifted my gaze back to my Pokémon.
"It is red," I answered. I saw him nod from the corner of my eye. We sat there in silence for a few seconds. I didn't know if I should move or wait.
"What is her favorite animal?" he asked. I had to think, I knew her favorite Pokémon, but animal…. I thought carefully and then guessed.
"Well, honestly I am not sure, if I had to guess I would say dolphin," I answered. He looked at me, I guess he was wondering if I was lying or not. "You know when we shared that room together she had several pictures of them around her room," I elaborated. He nodded at me and smiled.
"What are you doing?" Paul asked. I jumped; I was really not prepared to see him. In fact, I was so deep in thought I never even saw him walk up. I looked at his face and then looked over at Drew. I didn't even realize how close we were until now.
"Tal—talking," I stuttered. He looked at me funny and then looked at Drew. I eased my body away when his gaze was on me. I didn't want to give him, the wrong idea; yet then again, I don't even know why I cared what he thought about me.
"So Paul," Drew started. I moved a bit farther away and sighed. I had to admit I felt better not being in the spot light for the moment. "Have you come to take your girlfriend from me?" he asked. My face heated red and my mouth fell wide open. I couldn't believe this. After the peaceful time we had just spent together, I now remembered why I hated him.
"Hn… you can have her," he responded. I felt the anger boil in my blood as I stared at them both. They were talking about me as if I wasn't even there. I then watched as Paul walked away and shifted my gaze to Drew who looked towards the sunset. Wow, a sunset, I couldn't believe… we probably did look like we were together I flushed at the thought.
"I'm going to go," I said casually. He nodded as he kept his eyes on the sunset. I stood up and returned my Pokémon and headed for our room in the center. When I got through the door I saw Paul talking to Nurse Joy. He looked annoyed but then just bluntly walked away. I followed him up the room to which we shared and shut the door behind me. "You can have her?" I asked and half shrieked.
"Yeah," he answered. He continued to move around the room. I then noticed he was putting his stuff inside of his bag.
"Where are you going?" I asked. He continued to pack as he talked.
"To the next town, I don't have any more time to waste here," he answered. I looked at him slightly shocked.
"The sun has already set; do we have to keep traveling tonight?" I asked. He nodded and continued to pack. "Can we just spend one more night?" I pleaded. This time he ignored me as he picked up his bag. I quickly ran to grab mine along with my blanket and chased him out of the center.
Okay, so that is the end of this… I have a riddle for you guy! Why do you think Drew asked those questions about May? Anyway, please review and tell me what you think. Remember, I can see you! I know if you left my page without reviewing…. So do it!
