Adventures in Hoenn
Chapter Forty: Flygon in Critical Condition!
Forty chapters! WHOOOO! :D
*Brendan's p.o.v*
It was 7:00 pm. Flygon was in intensive care for and hour-and-a-half. Alex sat near the door to Flygon's room silently for what seemed like hours. She went through half of a tissue box she was so sad. I stood near the drink machine slumped against the wall. My family and May were outside giving us our privacy. I felt terrible and knew I had to try and make her feel better. I put some change in the machine and selected ''Lemonade.'' In a second, a can of lemonade drop. I picked it up when suddenly, another lemonade fell out. Score! I thought smiling in surprise. I walked over towards Alex and sat down next to her. ''Hey,'' I said in a friendly tone. Alex looked me in the eye.
''Hey…'' she said somberly.
''Want a drink?'' I asked handing her the drink.
''Thanks,'' Alex said accepting the ice cold beverage.
''Cheers,'' I said holding up the drink. Alex tried to smile and we touched drinks. We opened our drinks at the same time. I started gulping down my drink while Alex slowly sipped her drink. ''Ah, that's good!''
''Yeah…it's delicious,'' Alex said sadly. My heart sank in sadness.
''How's Flygon?'' I asked.
''Not too good,'' Alex replied. Alex started to tear up. ''I don't want her to die!'' Alex yelled as she bawled even more. ''I-I should've protected her! I'm her Trainer for crying out loud! I'M A BAD TRAINER!'' Alex then sobbed hysterically. I hugged her close to my body.
''It's not your fault. Flygon protected you with her life. It shows how much she loves you,'' I said continuing to embrace her. ''It shows how great a Pokémon Trainer you are.'' Alex looked up at me through watery eyes. She smiled and gushed more tears.
''Thank you, Brendan. You're so sweet,'' Alex replied hugging me. She then kissed me on the lips. ''I love you.''
''I love you, too,'' I replied smiling. She then threw her arms around me and kissed me again sending my heart a flutter. I wrapped my arms around her as well and kissed her as we embraced each other and kissed all the while. Then, the door opened causing us to let go of each other. The doctor came into the hallway.
''Alex? Your Flygon is doing much better,'' the doctor said smiling. Our eyes lit up instantly.
''Really?!'' Alex exclaimed.
''Yes, and she'd like to see you,'' the doctor added. We ran into the room and saw Flygon lying on the table. She was stitched up, hooked up to a heart monitor (which beeped steadily), and had a breathing mask on her face. She turned her head towards us and smiled weakly.
''Fly…gon,'' Flygon said weakly.
''Hey Flygon, how are you feeling?'' Alex asked as we walked up to her.
''Flygon Flygon,'' Flygon answered.
''That's good,'' Alex said smiling. Alex then turned towards me. ''She says that she feels sore but she's happy that I'm safe and that she'll live.''
''Great,'' I responded.
''Thank you for protecting me, Flygon. I'd be dead if it wasn't for you,'' Alex said gently hugging Flygon.
''Flygon,'' Flygon replied happily as she nuzzled Alex. There was a knock at the door. The doctor opened it and Drake was standing there with a sad expression.
''Hello Alex, Brendan, Flygon,'' Drake said.
''Hi,'' Alex said.
''May I come in?'' Drake asked.
''Um…sure,'' the doctor said getting out of the way.
''What do you want?'' I snarled angry over how his Flygon nearly killed Alex and her Flygon.
''I came to apologize to Miss Alex for the incident earlier,'' Drake said taking off his hat. ''I'm sorry, Alex. I should've had better control over Flygon. Outrage is one of, if not the, most dangerous move in any Pokémon's arsenal.''
''I forgive you, Drake. Besides, Flygon is going to live,'' Alex replied as she stroked Flygon.
''She's a very beautiful specimen of a Flygon,'' Drake said also stroking Flygon. ''I also came to you to ask if you would like to challenge me to a one-on-one match to finish our earlier battle.''
''Oh, yes!'' Alex said excited. ''When do you want to start?''
''I'm free right now if you'd like,'' Drake said putting his hat on his head.
''Okay! I'm game!'' Alex said ecstatically.
''Good. Then I'll meet you at my ring,'' Drake said. ''Good-bye, Alex.'' Drake then walked out the door.
''I'm going to go fight Drake now, okay Flygon?'' Alex said turning towards her Pokémon.
''Fly!'' Flygon responded happily. ''Flygon!''
''Thanks Flygon!'' Alex yelled as she ran out the door.
''I know how her dad feels about her energy,'' I sighed. I then went out the door to meet Alex at the ring.
