Heavy...What's on me? Slowly my eyes flutter open to discover that the weight is Meganium...Of course. I call out his name but he doesn't stir. I start to shove at him but this does nothing. He does this every night and yet I still sleep with him. I'm an idiot. I push him harder and this causes him to just shift his weight around and as if he's trying to get back at me he places a lot on me. That's my starter Pokemon for you.

I almost scream out his name but I quickly remember where I am so instead I just push some more but he's still not waking up. I glance at my bag with my other Poke balls but it's out of reach, great. I give up and flop back down onto my futon to stare at the roof. I'm awake sleep isn't coming any time soon.

THUMP!

What was that? A burglar? I won't let him or her get away with stealing anything of Morty's! As a hero I must stop all evildoers! …Wow, I've been watching way to many shows about heroes…but they are so good! Anyway mustering all my might I manage to shove Meganium off of me but this does nothing to disturb his peace, so much for relying on him in an emergency. I go over to my bag and grab a random Poke ball; anyone in my team will be more than a match for a burglar.

I sneak out of the room Morty is letting me stay at. I look in both directions of the hallway as if I'm going to cross a street. Where could he or she be? I can't afford to get lost or I'll be the biggest idiot ever. THUMP! It came from the right...Slowly but surly I'm making my way to where the source of the sound should be. I'm not going slowly because I'm afraid or anything I'm just being safe. No point in rushing in and getting knocked out by a surprise attack or something…than again I did rush when it came to Team Rocket. Anyway, I need to focus!

"Soul?" a man calls from behind me. I jump and drop my ball at the voice; it rolls a bit behind me before Umbreon pops out. He stretches and looks around but isn't on guard. Slowly (I'm moving slowly because I'm tired not afraid!) I spin around to face the source and it's Morty. He doesn't have his bandana on so his hair is falling into his face but that's okay it adds to his looks. He's also not wearing his usually attire as he traded in his traditional white pants for comfy gray sweats. But that's not where my eyes are falling too he's shirtless! He has very nice well tone muscles.

"I'm sorry. Did I wake you?" His voice breaks me out of my trance and I immediately look to my Umbreon for a distraction, who's scratching his ear.

"I heard some weird noises, so I came to investigate," I answer with my eyes still glued to Umbreon. My dark Pokemon looks up at me, wondering why I let him out, I just give him a goofy grin as an apology and he doesn't care. To show me that he's bored and not interested in what's going on he forces a yawn and sits down, waiting for me to hurry up, so I comply by picking up his ball and return him.

"Sorry, the power went out and I was trying to find a light source." I look back at him and finally notice the candle, he's holding. I hide my snort as a cough. The whole idea of a ghost trainer using a candle for light is just so perfect that it's funny.

"What caused it?" My eyes slide back down to his abs and I quickly look up to his face but the temptation is almost too much. Did he have to be so darn hot?

He sighs and scratches the back of his head. "My Pokemon were playing around and I don't know how they did it." Again I have to hide my laugh as a cough. Morty seems so strong and in control but in fact he's no more in control than me. Regardless of this he and his Pokemon get along greatly.

Out of nowhere the lights turn on. He sighs again but there's a small smile dancing on his lush lips, I-I mean nice lips. He runs a hand through his hair in a successful attempt at getting it out of his face. "I'll escort you back to your room." I just nod yes to him and he leads me backs. With him in front of me I won't have to worry about him catching me drooling, I mean staring, at his abs.

We make it back to my room with no distractions, much to my disapproval. I'm not ready to go to sleep yet. Being the nice gentleman he is Morty opens the door for me...and well I was certainly not expecting this. The room looks like a tornado hit it. And despite all the mess and the noise that should have been generated making this Megeanium is still out like a light.

Slowly closing the door a sigh escapes his lips. He mumbles something I can't hear before turning to me with a force smile. "I have other rooms you can stay in." He walks away without waiting for my answer. Glancing at my door and wondering how my herb Pokemon can still be asleep, my feet develop a mind of their own as they follow after the hot guy, who's Pokemon might possibly not like me?

He leads me to several rooms but they all were also hit by the same tornado. With each messed up room his frustration grows. He's no longer keeping a nice slow pace for me to keep up but instead is rushing ahead. He's just fast walking but I have to break into a small run just to keep up. What did I do to his Pokemon that would make them hate me so much? ...Maybe their hate is Morty's hate?

The sound of a slammed door jolts me out of my melancholy mood. Cursing under his breath he storms off never looking back to make sure I'm following. I'm afraid to follow. He's angry and it's probably best that I give him some space. I twirl Umbreon's ball in my hand. My moonlight Pokemon would want me to follow so I guess I should. Morty might be even angrier if I don't.

Morty is staring at the door before him. Taking a deep breath he hesitantly opens the door. Mumbling something under his breath he rubs the sides of his temples in exhaustion. I glance at him before peaking my head into the room and I wish I didn't. Two futons are pressed next together with several light candles around them in the shape of a heart. To make this room even more romantic the lights go off. The heat is rising to my cheeks and another sigh from Morty isn't helping. I can hear the ghost Pokemon snickering off in the distances. Is this a prank or something?

"I'm so sorry Soul! You may stay in my room and I'll go clean up one of the other rooms to stay in," Morty says and breaks the awkward silence that fell upon us. I look at him with my face still hot and I guess my blush distress him by the way his eyes widen and he shifts around uncomfortably.

"It's alright. My old room is fine," I quickly reply and drop Umbreon's ball and he pops out again. He looks around a bit before sitting down and glaring at me, annoyance very evident on his face. I bend down to pick up his ball but Morty beats me to it. Carefully he places the ball in my hands and does so in a way where there is no skin contact.

I stare at the Poke ball and frown at the lack of contact. He doesn't want to touch me? It has to be because of this awkward situation, right? It's not because he hates me...right? Ag! It wouldn't matter that much if it wasn't for this stupid crush! Umbreon nudges my leg breaking me out of my thoughts. He wants to go back into his ball and he wants to go back now! I return him and when I look back up Morty is already walking away.

My eyes fly back to his room and his Pokemon are in it and they look depressed. A hand on my leg causes me to jump and as before I've hurt Gengar's feelings. I hug him and this cheers him up. He starts to push my leg in the direction that his trainer left in. I look down at him and he's jamming a finger in the same direction. He wants me to go after Morty. I pat his head and do what he wants and this causes all the Ghost Pokemon to cheer with glee. But why do they want me to chase him?

I finally catch up to Morty in my room. He's barely organizing anything as he tries to clean up the bed area. Meganium is still sleeping at the corner of the futon. Morty had to remove the clothes that were covering my Pokemon because it doesn't look like he's moved at all. I should probably start sleeping with a more alert Pokemon at night to be on the safe side. There's no way Morty will be able to get any sleep with Meganium as his sleeping partner as how I do is a mystery.

"Morty, it's really alright. I don't mind this room," I say and this causes him to jump slightly. After tossing some pants aside he turns to face me. He opens his mouth to object but I beat him to it. "You won't be able to sleep with Meganium and nothing is going to awaken him." It's kind of embarrassing to admit that. I mean I'm the Champion and I have such a troublesome Pokemon, not to mention it's my starter Pokemon.

I walk over to him to further my point. Everything is going good, as he seems to have lost his desire to object. Huh? My pants seems to be caught on something...WHAAA! T-To close! My face is right in his. He cushioned my fall by having me land on him but...TO CLOSE! I pull away my face is burning hot. As I back up I nearly trip on the thing again and he grabs my wrist and pulls me close to prevent me from falling. My face is going to melt off if this continues!

"Are you alright?" He asks with his hand still on my wrist and the other wrapped around my lower back. Not able to find my voice all I can do is just nod and he unfortunately releases me. Stepping back a little I take a deep breath to calm myself down. I'm only acting like this because of this stupid little crush. It needs to hurry up and pass so I can stop making a fool of myself! Like the crush is to blame for that…

Morty goes back to cleaning up the bed but he has his back to me. I glance down at my sleeping grass Pokemon...wait a minute! Is he really sleeping? I squat down next to him, glaring, but he doesn't move. There's only one way to call his bluff and that's to tickle his belly! He soon starts to cry out for mercy. I knew it! He's been awake all along! He was in on it! What are Meganium and Morty's ghost Pokemon up too?

Thanks to The Finesseful X I think I managed to make this (and many other chapters) a little better but I'm still not satisfied with it. Anyway, there is going to be more chapters for this story, though I doubt there will be much more.

Also I would like some help! I want to respond to reviews but I don't want to do it as PMs. I know some people don't like to get PMs for just a simple thank you or whatever so if there is another way for me to respond can you please tell me how. Thanks in advance!

I would really like some feedback so won't you be kind enough to give me some?
