Chapter 9

I slammed my eyes shut and expected the worse, after a minute of waiting for the inevitable, I opened my eyes. She was looking back at me, the warmth in her eyes had returned and a large smile across her face.

"Oh thank Arceus, I thought you would kill me." I said with a sigh as I laid back against the ground.

"I'm sorry." She told me sadly, shame clearly showing on her face.

"It's alright, not like I can stay mad at you forever, now would you mind getting off of me." I told her casually.

She blushed and jumped off of me, averting my eyes and twiddling her claws shyly.

"You did it didn't you?" She asked me shyly.

"I had to, only thing that I thought would make you revert to normal." I told her as I pushed myself up.

"I'm sorry, I almost hurt you." She said, getting teary eyed.

I scooted over to her and pulled her closer to me, she looked up at me but she couldn't find the courage to look me in the eyes.

"Come on, let's go home, we've still got a date we need to go on." I told her with a big smile as I pulled her up, she smiled back and hugged me.

We got up and used each other to support one another as we walked back to the complex, not far from it we hid a getaway vehicle. A large jeep with big tires for off-road, it was solid black with red interior. We got in and drove away towards the nearest town and to a hospital where we could get medical treatment. The nurses were more than surprised when a battered man and his zoroark limped inside.

We lied to them saying that we had gone camping and we got in a tussle with some wild Pokemon. They treated us in different rooms, I laid back in my bed and looked at the moon outside, it had now changed back to its original color and it wasn't long till the sun came up.

"How is she?" I asked the nurse taking care of me.

"She's fine, she keeps asking the same questions about you, she refused to comply till she got an answer." She told me with a sigh.

"Stubborn fox." I said under my breath as I laid back in bed and slowly felt my fatigue get to me.

I woke up to see her siting in the chair on the other side of the room, fast asleep, I looked outside and it was close to noon.

"You're up!" She said happily as she came up to me, she must of heard me get up and woke up.

"Yeah, how come you aren't being taken care of?" I asked her curiously.

"Well my body is a lot easier to heal than yours, you can leave later today." She told me with a yawn as she stretched and looked out the window.

"I wonder what happened to those other megas." She said as she gazed outside, looking at the skyline of large business buildings and small houses.

"Who knows, as long as they are safe." I told her nonchalantly.

By the end of the day I was released and allowed to head back home, we drove back and spent the rest of the day relaxing and thinking about the next day.

"What will we do tomorrow?" Angela asked me as she laid across the couch.

"We can go to a park or something and eat there, that might be a good idea." I told her as I watched tv.

"Park it is then!" She said happily as she got up from her spot and approached me, leaning over and looking me in the eyes.

"What? Is there something on my face?" I asked her curiously.

"Yeah, right here." She said happily as she gave me a small peck on the cheek, she giggled mischievously and returned to her couch and laid back down.

We both fell asleep on the couch and didn't bother going to bed in our own beds, we cuddled next to each other and slept. Angela's big bushy mane was enough to keep me warm throughout the night, she cuddled me, kissed me and even said my name a few times.

I woke up the next morning with her holding me gently to her chest as she slept alongside me, I carefully got from her grasp and walked to the kitchen and cooked breakfast. It usually consisted of sausage and ham. She woke up not long after, she walked in with a tired face, she stretched and walked over to me and put her head down on my shoulder. She was still half asleep so I decided I would mess with her a bit.

"You kissed me and said my name a couple times in your sleep last night." I said casually, her eyes got really wide and she backed away, blushing uncontrollably and twiddling her claws frantically.

"You awake now?" I asked her, she said yes quietly and was hesitant to come near me.

"Don't be so serious, don't worry about it." I told her, she staid nervous as she twiddled her claws.

I walked up to her and embraced her in a big hug, she nervously hugged me back and warmed up a bit.

"Angela. Don't. Worry. About. It. It's not a big deal." I told her.

"Yes it is! It's embarrassing." She said shyly.

"No one but me knows." I told her.

"You knowing is what is making me embarrassed." She told me.

"You're a mess." I told her as I patted her head.

I walked into my bedroom and pulled out that Zorua plush I had given her from under my bed, this would comfort her well. I brought it back to her and she was a bit shocked seeming me with it.

"Here." I told her, handing it to her.

She took it and stared at it weirdly, I watched her out of the corner of my eye as she put it up in her mane, it actually looked like a real Zorua playing in her mane.

"It's hilarious really, seeing the big bad zoroark that beat up a garchomp so nervous." I said as I ate.

"Shut up." She said, her mood returning to its original state of her being sassy and serious.
