Thoughts in Italics
…...
Midnight's POV:
I was able to escape Blaze when I reached the town. There were many pokemon gathered at town. I instantly dived in to a large crowd of scattering pokemon, hiding myself and letting Blaze lose me. Even if it was late, the town was still very much alive with energy. Nocturnal pokemon like hoot-hoot and murkrow were coming out, adding to the large number of pokemon here. I walked deeper into the loud crowd of pokemon, to conceal myself even further. When I was sure I was safe, I stopped in my tracks and plopped down onto to the bumpy cobblestone street. It didn't matter if the road I was sitting on was rough and made me feel uncomfortable, I was so tired I didn't care. I let out a breath I was holding in. My muscles were aching, like I set them on fire, and I felt like a had a huge migraine. I was heavily panting, desperately trying to suck up every once of oxygen in the air. I was just beyond exhausted. I felt like I could fall into a deep 1000 year sleep, not even letting anything wake me up, even an all out pokemon war with the legendaries involved. I thought about returning to my den so I could rest and restore my energy, but I may attract the attention of one of Blaze's henchmen if I was out in the wide open, not shielded and hidden by any crowd of pokemon. Plus, I wouldn't be in a good enough condition to outrun Blaze. I sadly sighed.
"If only Blaze didn't hate me so much. Then I wouldn't be on this constant chase for freedom from his evil wrath." I thought.
I tried to hold in a tear, but it burst through, falling down my cheek and dropping onto the floor, leaving a wet dot on the floor. I used my paw to wipe of the wet trail the tear left behind. I sluggishly got up and shook myself, knowing the situation could have be worse.
I decided to wander around town for a bit, trying to pass the time until Blaze will probably give up this chase and try again another day. The streetlamps cast a bright glow on the cobblestone sidewalk, lighting my way.
" Come buy your berries here!" said a cherrim and cherubi. I smelled a sweet scent from their fruit stand that sold ripe cheri berries.
"Hah, 2 cherry pokemon selling cheri berries." I laughed in my head.
I also passed by many bustling shops selling many antiques. Lots of customers lined up and shoved each other trying to buy their items first to quickly get home. I also saw pokemon chattering and gossiping about the latest news with others at cafes. They seemed really happy, and they really enjoyed their friends' companies. Their laughs and joyfulness made me feel jealous.
"If only I could be so happy, with no stress and worry in the world," I silently wished.
I continued walking, silently observing everything. I was so busy soaking in everything with my eyes, I accidentally bumped into a charmeleon. "Hey watch it!" the charmeleon rudely said in an strange Italian accent.
"Sorry." I replied in a mad tone.
He made an angry face and used Sand Attack on me, kicking some dirt into my fur and eyes.
"Some people here are real grouchy." I said to myself, trying not to anger him further as we might start a fight and attract attention. And I really don't was to grab Blaze's attention.
I lifted myself back up and dusted the sand off. Then, I scratched off any remaining grains of sand with my paw.
The Charmeleon huffed, and walked away.
Then, I noticed a building. It was a beautiful white building with a crimson rooftop. The windows of the place emitted a warm light, luring tired and stray pokemon inside. It was the pokecenter! What luck! I was tempted to go inside and unwind while enjoying a soothing cup of hot pecha berry tea.
I was about to let my tired body pull me inside, when I noticed someone at the entrance to the pokecenter. There, standing at the glass doors was a Pyroar, Blaze. I growled.
He glanced at everyone approaching the pokecenter. His sharp eyes scanned and analyzed everybody. He looked like he was expecting someone, probably me.
"Where are you dear Midnight?" He softly purred, "How about you show your cowardly self already? I'm just gonna bite you and shred you into a million pieces.
"He must of known I would have gone here to rest. He may be evil, but he wasn't stupid." I thought.
Blaze's murderous eyes screamed out death and evil. The hidden claws in his paws were out, ready to slash me into thousands of tiny Midnights. His body was in a position where he could instantly pounce on me. However, thankfully, he didn't notice me yet.
I cautiously and slowly backed away, careful not to show fear and careful not to be noticed by Blaze. My heart was rapidly beating in my chest, making my blood rush throughout my entire body. When Blaze was distracted by one of his gang members, I turned away from the pokecenter and ran away, as far as my legs could carry me.
When I thought I was far enough, away from Blaze's sight, I slowed down my pace and was finally able to relax.
"He can't find you now, you're safe." I told myself, trying to be calm. Then, my muscles relaxed, and my heart started beating regularly.
My stomach rumbled. I started to grow hungry, my crave for food was strong and unbearable. I greedily scanned the area, looking for a restaurant or food. "Audino's Bakery! Freshly baked goods!" a sign read in bold purple words, on top of a little pink building.
This is exactly what I needed!
I dashed to the entrance and opened the wooden doors to the bakery. The chimes attached to the door jingled creating a chime. I walked inside and was instantly hit by a sweet yummy aroma. Moonlight fell through the heart-shaped windows, making the interior look marvelous with a blue glow. Warm golden lamps also provided a light source. At the counter was a smiling rosy pink pokemon with a chef's hat.
"Welcome! Please look around and see what you would like." The pink Audino, said.
I took out my blue pouch. This pouch was given to me by my mother, as a goodbye gift when I left to have my own den. I've been using it to store my poke. I held the pouch over my paw and shook it. No poke fell out. I looked inside and frowned when I only discovered a ball of lint and dust.
"No way to purchase anything to eat now." I disappointingly sighed.
I glanced over at the counter and stared at all the cakes, pies, breads, and sandwiches. They looked so delicious, and they were warm, like they just came out of the oven. Unfortunately, I had no poke to pay them with so the food was just unobtainable treasure. My stomach was crying out for food.
That's when I felt someone tap my shoulder. I jumped up in surprise.
"Oops, sorry if I startled you." said a mysterious feminine voice behind me. I turned around and was met with large breathtaking violet eyes. The discs of violet and magenta beauty belonged to an equally fascinating and beautiful espeon.
Wait, I think I recognize her...
"Are you that umbreon that crashed into me earlier today?" they unknown espeon asked.
Hold up, I do know her! I ran into her today!
"Um, yes, sorry for running into you. I was trying to run away from somebody." I replied.
I should have chosen my words more carefully.
"Run away from somebody? Like who?" she curiously asked.
Oh no...
I gritted my teeth. "An old friend of mine. That hates and despises the mere thought of me alive now." I said, with a grim, angry tone.
The Espeon looked down at the floor, looking sorry.
"Oh, sorry I asked." she said, truly regretting her words. Her faced turned sad and pitiful. It was hard not to cry looking at her expression.
"Never mind, you didn't know. It's alright." I said, trying to lift away her sorrow.
"Oh, ok." she quietly replied, her voice still tinged with a hint of regret. The tiny frown on her face made me feel sorry I said my words with such a bitter tone.
"Anyways, my name's Midnight." I said while lifting my paw up.
"Nice to meet you, I'm Rose." she said, shaking my paw.
"Rose... what a beautiful name." I thought. I blushed. "What am I thinking? I barely even know her.
"The name suits you well. Such an angelic creature like yourself deserves a name that matches your beauty." I said.
Facepaw. Did I really just say that?I'm ruining my 1st impression.
"Thanks." she replied, blushing at the compliment. She seemed a little embarrassed.
Then my stomach made a low, deep growl. I was sure Rose heard the noise. It was my turn to be embarrassed.
"Seems like your hungry. Want me to buy you something to eat?" Rose giggled, trying hard not to laugh out loud.
I perked up in surprise. I was almost a total stranger to her! She was offering me food, and she just met me! I would turn down the offer to be kind, but I was so famished. I shook my head, feeling ashamed I just thought that. No, I'm being way too selfish, I'll decline.
"No, I'll be alright." I finally said.
"I insist! I'll get you something to eat! I'll get you something to eat." Rose said, placing her lavender legs firmly on the ground.
I glanced at the freshly baked goods on the counter. My mouth watered a bit.
"I don't know..." I replied.
"Come on! You have to eat! You look tired and worn out. I want to help you!" she said with a serious and stern face, she was not ready to back down and give up.
I was about to decline the kind offer again, but I hesitated.
It looks like she's not going to let me starve. Even if I tell her "no" she'll keep insisting she'll get me something to eat.
"Fine," I slowly said, finally admitting defeat.
Rose's face lightened up and she smiled. "Yay!" she said, "So, what would you like to eat?" Rose happily asked.
I looked over at all the foods.
"I'll take a Chesto berry sandwich." I replied.
Rose looked shocked. I wasn't surprised. Most pokemon hated chesto berry sandwiches. Let alone, chesto berries. The reason these berries were hated was because of the terrible taste. If you want to know why pokemon Wake up when eating chesto berries, it's because the horrid dry taste wakes them up. However, I personally liked the berries, even if they were hard or dry.
"You like chesto berry sandwiches?" Rose gasped in surprise.
I nodded.
"I do too! Wow, I thought nobody liked them except me!" Rose exclaimed, awestruck.
I gasped. WOW, THIS IS JUST GREAT! I finally have somebody who understands my weird sense of food and taste.
"I always thought it tasted good, but other pokemon despised the taste, but I always told them..."
"You're crazy!" We both said simultaneously. Rose and I fell down to the floors and broke out in laughs. We were both surprised in what we had in common.
The laughter and giggles died down and Rose got up and purchased a chesto berry sandwich for me and bread and berries for her.
We both sat down at a small flat wooden table nearby the window. We both started taking enormous bites out of our food, looks like Rose was really hungry too. The chesto berry sandwich was really great! It took me a while to bite into the firm, hard berry, but my strong jaws managed to break through and I tasted a yummy juicy flavor in the berry's interior. The taste of the berries actually went quite well with the bread.
Rose and I started chatting about random things. We had quite a few disagreements, but we had many other things in common. We liked races, battles, friends(not that I had many), and we both loved the forest and we both agreed it was the best place to live.
Then, I finished my last piece of sandwich and sighed. "That hit the spot. Thanks for the food Rose."
"It was my pleasure!" Rose said as she also finished up her last berry.
We both walked out of the bakery together, continuing our conversation.
"Have you ever been to the beach?" Rose asked me.
"No, I actually never got the chance." I said.
Her eyes grew wide. "You've never gone to the beach? Where have you been all this time?" she asked.
"I don't know, just chilling in my den I guess." I replied.
"How about I take you there right now? It's a short distance from here. Wanna go?" Rose asked.
It was late, but I couldn't go home with Blaze on the loose.
"Ok!" I replied.
Rose dashed away and I followed her. We sped up and we zoomed out of town. We raced each other towards the sandy beach, ready to enjoy the water and sand.
Volt's POV:
I woke up with a layer of sweat covering my body. My muscles still hurt, but the pain was now dull. My injured leg was carefully wrapped in grasses. The grasses served as bandages. I tried to sit up but was forced to stay down because of the sudden sharp pain in my leg that appeared when I moved.
That's when I noticed my surroundings. I somehow winded up in Rose's den. The den was dark, but lamps around the room were turned on. Outside I saw a deep ocean blue sky. A white disc softly glowed in the middle of the sky. Stars sparkled like mini diamonds in the sky. I could hear Noctowl hooting outside. I tried to remember what happened,
battling a Fearow,
evolving,
collapsing to the floor and fainting with Rose running towards me.
I also remember waking up for about 2 seconds once in a while. I saw Jewel evolving, Rose's mother helping me and an espeon.
Who was that Espeon? All I knew was that she was breathtakingly stunning and beautiful. Her eyes shinned and glimmered, and I swear I saw stars inside of them.
Wait, I like Rose, or perhaps that espeon WAS Rose. But Rose is an eevee, that can't be right.
"Glad to see that you're finally awake!" Rose's mother, a sylveon, said as she entered the room I was in.
"What happened? How did I get here?" I asked, curious on what happened.
"Oh, Rose evolved into a glorious espeon, and teleported you all here! She did her best to heal you all. I'm so proud of her." she replied, nearly tearing up seeing that her child was growing up so fast.
So the dazzling Espeon was Rose! Wow, she really was beautiful and she was so kind and hardworking! She carried us here and nursed us all!
I looked outside at the sky, the stars reminded me of Rose's eyes. The lavender streaks left behind by shooting stars and comets in the sky reminded me of Rose's soft fur.
Maybe, just maybe I should finally do this. I've been Rose's friend for too long. I also feel like my crush for her is too big, it's not a crush, it's love.
A soft evening wind blew through the air. It's sound reminded me of Rose's sweet and light laughter. I deeply inhaled and exhaled and I decided on what I was going to do.
I grinned and closed my eyes, thinking deeply about Rose. Positive thoughts about her overflowed into my mind.
I'm going to ask Rose out on a date and nothing's going to stop me!
…..
OH SNAP! VOLT'S GONNA ASK ROSE OUT! :O
