Grateful Love.
Drew's eyes fluttered open to reveal blinding light. Sitting up slowly, he took in the surroundings. He was on the soft mossy ground in a beautiful, cool forest. He heard a moan beside him and looked down. A beautiful brunette was fast asleep on the ground hugging a Roselia. His Roselia. He smiled down at his friend and winced as he sighed. Looking down he found he no longer wore his shirt but many blood stained bandages wrapped around his middle and upper left arm. Getting up he looked around, finding a stream near by. Walking over to it he carefully took off his bandages and waded into the fresh water brook, instantly cooling down his hot body.
May sat up and looked over to Drew to find he wasn't there. Panicking a bit she jumped up, completely forgetting about Roselia, and looked around. Getting an angry reply from Roselia, she walked around the clearing. She finally found him bathing himself in the river. Quietly walking over to him she picked up the discarded bandages and walked a small way down stream and started to wash them, leaving new ones on the ground beside him. He looked over at her and smiled warmly at her.
"Thanks," he said, turning back to the river.
"Not a problem, do you remember what happened?" She asked.
"Team Rocket, they decided to join up and gang up on me, though I hid all of my things a little way back when I first heard noises," he replied smugly. Standing up he turned to find clean bandages at his side. Picking them up he tried to wrap them around his wounds with no success. May walked over to him, took the bandages from him and started to wrap them up for him.
"Are you going anywhere important at the moment?" He asked.
"No, why?" She replied. He's definitely gotten a bit of a work out, she thought; he's never been this strong.
"It's just, I'm gonna stay around here until these heal up a bit," he indicated to his wounds, "Before I go on travelling, I just don't want to be with just my pokemon." He was blushing at this and his pale face went as red as a tomato.
"Okay, I'm not expected anywhere so yeah I'll stay." And with that, she turned back to the river and began washing again. Drew walked a fair way off down the stream when he finally came to a hollow tree and placed his arm inside it. Gripping his rucksack strap, he pulled it out and walked back to the clearing.
This is going to be interesting, Roselia thought as she raced through the trees to beat him to the clearing.
