This is chapter two based on Morty's point of view. Hope you all like it!
Morty Fun Fact: Morty is the only male ghost specialist to be a gym leader or member of the Elite Four.
I can't sleep. That's no surprise seeing as how Soul is just sleeping down the hall. I foolishly let her stay at my house without determining my feelings for her. I know I'm attracted to her but I don't know if that's just it or if there is more. Oh well, Soul needed a place to get away from everyone better here than someone else's place.
Dwelling on it right now isn't doing anything. Why can't there be anything good on at night? I wonder what my Pokemon are up too. They've been surprisingly quiet all night. They're up to something. To back up that thought the power goes off. Those little punks! Better fix my fuse box, now where did I put that flash light?
I could have sworn I placed the flashlight on the table, after all the power goes off in my house once a week thanks to them. Did they take it? Why do they enjoy playing pranks so much? It's a good thing that I keep a candle nearby just in case.
THUMP
Now what? It sounded like it came from the direction of Soul's room. They better not be planning on pulling a prank on her! Pulling a prank on Eusine is one thing but Soul is off limits! I don't want her hating me because of them. Better check it out before they do anything. Can't they behave for one night?
Another loud thump I must be getting close. Hopefully the noise hasn't awoken Soul. Just my luck she's up and she's going to investigate the noise. Of course she would. She's such a curious person but it's her curiosity that allowed her to catch Suicune. I have no idea what she's expecting but she has a Poke ball ready. Why isn't she bringing her Meganium? That Pokemon is a real terror in battle but the funniest Pokemon the rest of the time.
"Soul?" I call softly as not to startle her but I fail. She jumps and drops the ball, our eyes follow the ball as it rolls behind her (to in front of me) and her Umbreon pops out. Did she know that it was my Pokemon and she was preparing to battle them? Slowly she turns around to face me and relief washes over her face, I guess not than what was she preparing for?
Now that she's facing me I can get a better look at her, she's wearing pajamas. The white, soft looking shirt has the words "Pokemon Master" on it while the blue bottoms has a Poke ball pattern. It's childish but she looks so cute in them. I really shouldn't be thinking about my guest like that. "I'm sorry. Did I wake you?" I ask to distract myself. Her eyes immediately fly to her dark Pokemon, who seems to not care at all.
"I heard some weird noises, so I came to investigate," she answers with her eyes still glued to Umbreon. Honestly doesn't this girl know the meaning of fear or have any sense of danger? Than again she did take out Team Rocket. Why fear a potential burglar when she took out a dangerous evil organization practically all by herself. But I still wish she would be a bit more careful.
Her eyes are still glued to the moonlight Pokemon so when it yawns she finally returns him but is still not looking at me. Did I do something wrong? "Sorry, the power went out and I was trying to find a light source," I say to grab her attention and succeed. She looks back at me or more accurately the candle I'm holding. She tries to hide a snort as a cough but it's a bit to obvious. I guess a candle does suit the type of trainer I am. It's kind of embarrassing now.
She is trying so hard to look me in the face. Something is up but what? "What caused it?" she asks and I am unfortunately reminded of the situation.
Sighing, I scratch the back of my head before answering. "My Pokemon were playing around and I don't know how they did it." I hate admitting that fact and the laugh she's trying to suppress doesn't help my pride. I'm a gym leader; I should have more control over my Pokemon.
For whatever reason my Pokemon decide to turn the lights back on and a sigh escape my lips. Running a hand through my hair to get it out of my face I look Soul in the eye, her pretty brown eyes. "I'll escort you back to your room." She doesn't say anything but nods so I lead her back to her room. I'll need to make sure my Pokemon don't ambush her on the way back or something.
We make it back to her room much quicker than what I want; I'm enjoying her company not to mention I still can't sleep. I have a bad feeling about what's behind the door so I'm the one to open it...and I was right. I now know what they were up too. They were trashing Soul's room! I need to have a serious talk with them!
Slowly I close the door a sigh escaping my lips. Damn it! What are they doing? I got to remain calm Soul is here. I turn to her, forcing a smile I hope she can't tell. "I have other rooms for you to stay in." Without waiting for a reply I walk ahead to lead her to a spare room. I need to get her away from that room and whatever further plans that my Pokemon have. Briefly I glance over my shoulder to see if she's following, she is.
Seriously! What are they up too? Every spare room I've checked so far looks like it's been struck by a tornado. If they are trying to piss me they are succeeding! Damn it, Soul is going to spend the night here peacefully, and there's nothing I let them do about it. There's no possible way that they destroyed every room in this house. She'll stay in my room if she has too! There's no way they messed up mine.
Damn it! That was the last spare room! Out of frustration I slam the last door and start stomping to my room. They' are going to be punished for this! I shall see to that!
I know they wouldn't dare do anything to server to my room but I still have the feeling that I don't want to open the door...I need to see what they did. Taking a deep breath and hesitantly I open the door...I wish I didn't. I rub the sides of my temples in an attempt to calm myself down and surprisingly it's working.
Soul pushes past me to peak her head into the room and she gasps. Why? Why are they doing this to me? They've turned my room into a honeymoon suit. Two futons are pushed together inside a heart made of light candles. To make matters worst they turn off the lights. Seriously? I can hear them snickering off in the distance. I don't think this is a prank...I wish it was.
"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," I say to break the awkward silence that has befallen. Her head turns sharply towards me, her cheeks a blaze and she uncomfortable. This just great! What do I do? I hope she doesn't think that I have anything to do with this or that I am a pervert!
"It's alright. My old room is fine," she quickly replies and again she drops Umbreon's ball and he's released again. He looks around a bit before glaring at Soul he seems very annoyed. I bend down to pick up the ball, before she can get to it and place it carefully in her hand so that we don't make skin contact. I don't want to creep her out any more than my Pokemon already have. Probably having her stay in my room isn't the best choice but all other rooms are too messy for her to sleep in. She's distracted by the ball I take this chance to slip away unnoticed.
They've trashed Soul's room the most. Why? Not only did they toss everything that was already in this room they went so far to toss everything in her bag around. Maybe I should go to another room… If she seems me in this room with all her private clothing around she might just actually think of me as a pervert. How in the world did her Meganium sleep through all the noise that had to be generated by my Pokemon when they throwing everything around?
"Morty, it's really alright. I don't mind this room." Her voice startles me. I quickly toss the pants that I'm holding (thank Ho-Oh they are mine) aside I turn to face her as if I hadn't noticed any of her things. I open my mouth to object but she beats me to it. "You won't be able to sleep with Meganium and nothing is going to awaken him." I glance at the sleeping grass Pokemon, who's kicking at nothing. I wonder what he's dreaming about.
My eyes slide back to her to see that she's coming towards me. I can't think of anything to say back to her at least she doesn't look bothered any more but still my room is at least clean. Hm, her pants' leg is caught on something. She's going to fall! In a quick and in no thought put into decision I cushion her fall by using me as a shield. I'm really making things uncomfortable for her. In shock she stumbles back and is about to trip on the thing again and instantly I pull her to me and my arms just wrap around her nicely as if they were waiting for this. I like this feeling of her body against mine...NO! Must not think like that! Distraction! I need one! I'll clean up the bed!
Well this is officially the last chapter for this story. Thanks to everyone for reading and reviewing!
