Looking Through A Mirror
Chapter 8
Hi hi!
I checked all the mirrors in my house. Nothing happened...
According to my planning, two more chapters after this. At this rate, it's going to be finished before November ends.
Before I start the story! Any of you ever watched the anime "Yumeiro Patissiere"? One of the characters (Satsuki Hanabusa), remind me of Drew; green hair and has a thing for roses. Do all green haired guys like roses...?
Disclaimer: As much as I would like to say I own Pokémon, sadly I don't.
"What about you?"
May looked down at her phone, "My fortune says, 'A friend will be there to help whenever trouble comes your way.' That's a good thing!"
"Doesn't that you'll get into trouble?" Drew asked, giving her a knowing look.
"True, but I hardly get into trouble." May retorted, and continued the walk.
"Oddish!"
May looked down to see a frightened Oddish in front of her, she would've walked over it if it didn't cry out any sooner. Suddenly a purple cloud of powder came flying from Oddish as it's self defense and ran off.
"May! You okay?" Drew shouted, running over. May coughed, waving away the powder then nodded. Drew shook his head, "That was Poison Powder! I don't think so."
"I think you're right," May replied, wavering. Dropping to her knees, May breath quickened, starting to feel a little dizzy.
"Roselia!" Drew called out. "Go see if you can find something or someone nearby to help."
"Rose!" Roselia nodded and dashed off.
I've got to stay calm, Drew thought, keeping his breath steady. You can't help if you're panicking.
Roselia came back, shaking her head in disappointment.
"Thanks, Roselia. Return," Drew smiled grimly. "Let's see... If I remember correctly, Lum Berries and Pecha Berries."
-Flashback-
"Hey, Drew!" May dashed over, carrying a bunch of berries and handed him a Pecha Berry. "Here, have this one. There's a bunch more over there."
"Thanks, May," Drew replied, biting into the berry.
May smiled, she took a bite of the Pecha Berry. "This is amazing! What is it called?"
"It's a Pecha Berry." Drew glanced up. "Look! A Wurmple!"
"Perfect!" May quickly put the extra berries into her bag.
-Flashback ends-
"That's it!" Drew grinned. "Now let's hope she still has some."
Quickly, looking through May's backpack, he found a small pouch full of Pecha Berries.
"Perfect," Drew turned back to May. "Hey, May. Eat this, it should cure the poison's effects."
May took a bite, chewed then swallowed. Drew watched, making sure she finished it completely. He helped her over to a tree and then they both sat down. "We'll rest here for the night."
May nodded tiredly, resting her head on Drew's shoulder.
"Night, Drew."
The next morning, May could feel the sunlight's rays gently shining down on her, Drew sitting next to her and something fuzzy nuzzling her hand. Rubbing her eyes, May saw a pink and yellow kitten Pokémon looking at her. May nudged Drew, attempting to wake him up.
"Morning May," Drew mumbled stretching his arms, he turned to see the Skitty. "Why is there a Skitty here?"
May shrugged, "It was here when I woke up."
"Nya~" the Skitty started to chase it's tail. Once it noticed the two trainers get up, it started to walk off only to stop a little distance ahead, looking at the two expectantly.
"I think it wants us to follow it." May stated.
"Way to say the obvious," Drew retorted, only to receive a glare from May. They followed the Skitty to see a building up ahead.
"Skitty! There you are!" a lady ran over to Skitty and scooped it up. She noticed Drew and May walking towards her. "Hi there, I'm Miranda. I run the Daycare there." She gestured to the building behind her.
"I'm Drew, and that's May." Drew greeted. "Is that Skitty yours?"
"No, I just watching over it," Miranda answered. She looked down at Skitty. "No more running off for you."
"I should get back to work now," Miranda smiled. May step forward, "Can we help?"
"I don't remember agreeing to this," Drew commented. "But I'll help as well."
"Really? Thanks!" Miranda squealed. "You guys can help with grooming."
A little while later... Or more like much later...
"Do you do this everyday?" Drew complained, brushing a Furret.
"Yep. With your help this speeds up my working process." Miranda replied, feeding a Zigzagoon. "It's starting to get late. Do guys want to stay overnight? I have a spare bedroom with two beds."
"Sure!" May agreed. "What's for dinner?"
After dinner, a good night's rest and breakfast, May and Drew found themselves ready to continue their way to Mauville City.
"Thanks so much!" Miranda bowed.
"It's was our pleasure," Drew responded. May nodded in agreement.
"Come back anytime!" Miranda waved as two left. "Bye!"
Heeheehee! I can't wait until the next chapter!
There's going to a little surprise in the next chapter, I was so excited to plan it out. Not going to spoil anything until it comes out!
Thank you for reading and enjoy the weather outside sometime!
