Chap. 7

Heart woke up early that morning and after getting dressed left the house she was staying at. The house had a lot of miltanks outside and the owners and children were out playing and tending to them. Heart heard a low sound of pain coming from the back barn. She walked in a saw a sick miltank.

"How sad. Its ok little miltank."

There were two young girls inside trying to tend to it but with no success. They saw heart approach and said,

"Hello miss. You wouldn't happen to have any oran berries would you?"

Heart stood in place for a moment then said,

"No I don't sorry."

They responded with,

"Oh ok. Well if you find any would you mind bringing them to us. This miltank is really sick and oran berries will help cure it."

Heart felt sad that the miltank was really sick. She decided she would try to find some to help out the miltank.

"Don't worry I will help find some."

The girls seemed happy to hear Heart say that and nodded. Heart left the barn and set out to find some berries.

"Ok, if I were an oran berry where would I be?"

Heart looked around nearby fields and small gardens growing nearby but couldn't tell what was an oran berry and what wasn't.

"I'm clueless arent I? I don't even know what a oran berry is."

Heart went back to find the girls and ask them what a oran berry was but couldn't seem to find them.

"I wonder if they left or something?"

She went back to the house that she had spent the night in and poked her head inside.

"Heeeellllooooo! Anyone home?"

Still no reply.

"This is odd."

She thought to herself. She turned around and smacked into someone knocking her and the person both down. Heart quickly came back to reality and realized she was on top of the person on accident. Then she noticed who it was. She had ran into and knocked Soul down.

"Soulie!"

She said hugging him on the ground. She rubbed her hands all over his chest trying to feel his muscles. He tried to gasp for air.

"Can you please not try to violate me! I would like to get to Olivine City before nightfall."

Heart blushed and got off of him.

"Oh please, you know you liked me on top of you."

Before he could say anything else she spoke up again and said,

"Soulie, have you seen the owners of this property or two young girls and a miltank?"

Soul just stood in place like she was crazy or something.

"Heart this house is vacant. No one has lived here in 15 years."

Those words sent a shiver down hearts spine. Who was the couple that had let her stay there that night? Who were the young girls and the miltank? Soul spoke up again while she was in thought and said,

"I did see the two young girls though. They had a miltank with them they had moved out of the sunlight."

Heart grabbed Soul by the hand and ran with him.

"Which way?!"

She asked. Soul tried to free the death grip she had placed on him but it was to no avail.

"Let go of me and I will tell you!"

He said in a light rage. Heart blushed once more. She clearly couldn't control herself around him.

"I like holding your hand. And right now lets find that miltank."

Soul spoke up and said,

"I have more important things to do th-"

His sentence was cut short as Heart pulled him by the arm behind her while she ran. She finally let go of him when she found the girls. It was the same ones as before. The girls greeted Heart and said,

"Hello. Did you find any oran berries?"

Heart had forgotten to get some on the way.

"I uh… forgot. What is an oran berry anyways?"

Soul laughed when he heard those words.

"You don't know what an oran berry is? Wow Heart."

Heart turned around and kicked him. The two girls watched Heart and Soul for a moment then giggled.

"Miss is he your boyfriend?"

Heart smiled and said,

"Yep. He's all mine. His name is Soulie."

She winked at Soul. Soul immediately said,

"I am not her boyfriend! I was kidnapped here by this psychopath! And my name is Soul not Soulie!"

He turned around in a rage and left towards Olivine City. The two girls giggled again.

"Miss oran berries are blue."

They both said in unison. Heart saw some blue berries nearby and quickly got them and brought them back to the girls.

"Will these work?"

She asked them. They nodded and gave the miltank the berries. After about 5 or so berries the miltank seemed to feel better. It stood up and could keep its balance.

"Thank you miss. Here is something for your trouble."

They handed heart a jar of moomoo milk. Heart happily accepted the item.

"Thank you. Have y'all seen the owners of that property or whoever they are? They were there this morning."

The two girls said,

"That's grammy and grandpa. They don't own the property but they come here every weekend to tend to the miltank that run threw these fields. They should be back by now."

Heart understood. It was the weekend so the couple must have been staying there to tend to the miltanks. Heart thanked the girls and made her way back to the property. Sure enough, inside were the couple once again. They greeted her again and said,

"I heard you helped cure the sick miltank. You have our thanks. You are welcomed here anytime."

Heart stayed by and thanked them for letting her stay there again for a few moments then left. Heart walked off the property and then got beside bayleef. She kneeled down to pet her pokemon. Bayleef seemed to enjoy the attention it was finally getting. Heart spoke to bayleef and said,

"I'm sorry. I never properly got to thank you for helping me start my journey and winning the badges we have so far. So thank you bayleef."

Bayleef jumped in place really happy. Heart could tell it was happy to be her pokemon.

"Ready for olivine city?"

Bayleef nodded. They both headed the same direction as Soul towards the next city.

"I wonder if we will run into Soulie again when we get here? Maybe I can get two straws and we can set under the starlight and share this moomoo millk while sharing a kiss."

Heart said to bayleef with her face bright red from blushing. Bayleef just ignored her. Heart spoke up and said,

"Bayleef don't ignore me when I talk about Soulie! I cant help that I love him! He's strong and handsome and muscular and..."

Heart lost her train of thought in drool over Soul. Bayleef just shook its head. Heart giggled and they walked further along headed for Olivine City.
