Hi again. I'm just here to update.

I awoke to the sound of a TV, the sun in my face, and the sound of two people talking. I rolled over, and opened my eyes slowly. Everything was still the same as it should be. Or shouldn't be, depending on the way I looked at it.
I heard my stomach growl, and that brought me to my thoughts. But then I went back into them to wonder something: Why haven't I eaten for the past two days? I should have been famished, or dead, or something. But no, I just got hungry after two days.
I got up, and saw James and Alex looking at a map, talking about our next path. "I say we cut straight through Route 103," I heard Alex say.
James shook his head. "We need to stop in Petalburg. I heard that there's some sort of festival going on there." Alex seemed to glare at him, and he quickly stated his reason. "We'll probably get a discount at the stores, and we might meet someone who knows a lot about Roxanne."
Alex gave a small sigh. "I suppose…" I reached the desk, after I had jumped off the bed and almost hit my head on the floor, and started to try and ask for food. What it sounded like was close to the noise a dying cat would make.
Alex and James looked at me, and then James literally jumped up and ran over to his backpack. "I forgot to feed the baby!"
He opened up his backpack and pulled out a bottle. Oh Mew, no… I thought to myself as he filled it with a liquid that looked almost like milk. He then brought the bottle over and sat back in the chair.
Alex picked me up, and put me on James' lap. "Here ya' go…" He said as he put the bottle in my mouth. I squirmed around a bit, but Alex grabbed my head and held it steady, and I was forced to drink.
The concoction tasted like actual milk, and I drank it without squirming after Alex let go. It was almost all gone when I actually put thought into my actions. I'm actually acting like a baby. Damn you Azelf…
We stopped at the Pokemart, and James and Alex grabbed some Pokeballs and Potions. Melody and Naru were out of their Pokeballs now, and so I decided to talk to them.
"Hey," I said to Melody. She seemed not to hear me, so I said it again. "Hey." Again she did not respond, so I tried one last time. "Earth to Melody, Earth to Melody, do you respond, over?"
"Sometimes she gets like this." I yelped and spun around. Naru was beside me, looking at the unresponsive Eevee. "Sorry!" she apologized. "I didn't mean to scare you."
"It's all right," I told her. The Eevee still hadn't moved. "Why does she do this?"
"I don't know. I've only seen her like this twice before. I imagine it might have something or other to do with something in her mind." I really didn't question the Surskit's information, because the Eevee finally came to.
"Welcome back to Earth." I told Melody. She didn't actually respond with words. It was more of a mumbling of letters that might have formed words at one point. "What?" I asked, thinking that the Eevee lost herself somewhere between the last time I saw her and now.
She looked at me, and then yawned. Yes, she yawned, at close to ten-o'-clock on a Tuesday. I stared at her, and then she yawned again. And again. And, you can guess, again.
I shook my head, and decided to talk to Naru. It'd be better than talking to the brick wall of an Eevee. "So, Naru," I began, "How have you been?" I know it wasn't really the best way to start a conversation, but I didn't like to listen to the silence that would have followed any other question.
"Alright…" she stated slowly.
I heard some bit of fear in her voice, but decided not ask her about it. "Anything going on?" Yeah, I'm really not that great with small talk. Usually most of the conversations end after I talk the first time.
"Not really…" Okay, I definitely heard the fear in her voice that time. "There isn't much to have go on…"
"Are you afraid of me?" I asked bluntly. Yeah, that's one of the reasons conversations end when I talk, I ask things outright. I guess that's why all of those titan things didn't want to stay with me long; I asked questions about too many things right after they got done talking.
"No… It's not that… it's…" Yep, definitely fear. Either that or she was worse with small talk than I am. And almost no one is worse with small talk than I am. She sighed. "I am afraid of you, yes. You're, what? Two days old? And you've basically mastered speech, you've been walking for long periods of time, and you've done other non-baby like things."
So she's afraid of me because I don't act like a baby? I almost laughed, but held myself in check. "You see, it's because…"
"It's because you're reborn." I was startled at how fast she finished my sentence. That and she used the exact word for it that I was going to use: reborn. "It's a funny thing actually, because I know of someone else just like you."
End chapter. I think something will happen shortly, seeing as how they are preparing for adventure. Find out next time.
