DISCLAIMER: I do not own pokemon. If you sue me, all you'll get is a Game Boy SP, a Dell lap top, and a Betta Fish named Dr. Pepper.
Chapter 6: Hospitalized
Rika woke up right after she heard the pokemon in her dream say its name.
"Its a Mew..." She said to herself.
Arcanine sat up, startled that Rika had spoken. It started licking her hand to see if she was really awake.
"I'm fine Arcanine." Rika told him. "Where is Gary?" She said trying to sit up, but was too exhausted.
'Now I know how a pokemon feels like at the end of a battle...' She thought to herself.
"Rika!"
Rika looked to her side and saw Flygon land next to her, with Gary on it.
Gary was holding something in his arms, but she couldn't see what it was.
"Rika, are you ok? I'm sorry I left, but I had to go and get Eevee and Umbreon." He said jumping off Flygon and jogging over to where Rika was resting.
"Yeah, I'm fine, except my arm hurts. Do you have Eevee here?" She said quickly, forgetting about her injuries and concentrating on her pokemon.
"Yeah. It looks like it needs healed though. We'll find a pokemon center and take you and the pokemon to get healed." He said walking up to her.
"It would be best if you returned it" Gary said kneeling down and handing Eevee to Rika.
Rika hugged her pokemon in an embrace before reaching for its pokeball and pushing the small white button on it, returning Eevee.
"Thanks Arcanine." He said returning the large dog pokemon.
"Flygon Fly!" Flygon shouted leaning its head to the right.
"Yeah we're ready." Gary told his pokemon, then turning back to Rika.
"Um...Rika, to put you on Flygon, I'm gonna have to pick you up...Is that ok?" He asked with an embarrassed look on his face.
"Yeah..."
He walked over and picked her up bridal style, making sure not to touch her bad arm, and set her on Flygon. He then got on himself.
"Let's go Flygon!" He told the pokemon.
"Fly!" It said flapping its wings until it was in the air.
They flew over the trees for a few minuets, until Gary felt something on his back.
He looked back, realising that it was Rika, who had fallen asleep, leaning on him. He smiled for a moment before turning back around.
"There it is Flygon!" He said told his pokemon, pointing to a small town bellow them.
They landed in front of the pokemon center. Gary got off Flygon with Rika in his arms, still asleep. Flygon went back into its pokeball.
Gary ran inside the center and up to the front desk.
"Oh deer! What happened?" Nurse Joy said, seeing Rika. "Blissy get a stretcher!" She shouted to the pink egg pokemon beside her.
"Blissy bliss!" It said running off to do what it was told.
Gary was waiting anxiously. It had been nearly an hour.
All of his and Rika's pokemon had been healed except Eevee and Umbreon, and Rika still hadn't come out of the Emergency Room.
Gary had told the nurse everything that had happened.
'What is taking so long!' He thought to himself.
Was Seviper poison really that dangerous to humans?
The ER door opened and Gary looked up to see Nurse Joy walk out towards him.
"She is ok now, but she is still asleep." Joy told him.
"Can I see her?" He asked.
"Yes, please follow me." Joy said walking back through the door she had came out of seconds before. Gary followed her.
Rika was in a bed with white sheets. Her clothes had been changed to hospital cloths. She had a bandage in one arm, and an IV in the other. It was pumping antidote into her blood stream. Her eyes were closed.
Nurse Joy walked back out of the room to attend to other patients.
Gary pulled up a chair and sat beside her bed. After a while, he fell asleep, holding Rika's hand tight, as if he were never going to see her again.
Ok, yes it is very short, but I just wanted to put something up.
Tell me if I am putting too much Romance and not enough action or something like that.
I am still open to ideas.
Please Review!
