Chapter six

We soon reached Ilex forest and by the time we did, it was already night. I saw Venonat's behind the trunks of trees and small bushes. I even heard a few Hoothoot's hooting. As we both continued to walk through the forest, fog soon started to appear and get more thicker. Soon it was hard to even see Paul.

"Paul?" I asked. "Where are you?"

"Here." Paul replied as he grabbed my hand. I turned around and saw his face just slightly. "Hold my hand so we won't get lost."

"Um.." I said as I blushed grew on my face. "Sure."

I couldn't but help but to feel slightly uncomfortable holding Paul's hand. It felt soft but yet warm. I wanted to cover my face with my beanie with the blush still on my face. I wish I could get a brush and some soap to wash it away but I knew that idea wound even come closer to even work. Soon a brown object started to slowly appeared in front of Paul and my eyes. As we walk closer we both found out it was a old house.

"We can sleep here for the night." Paul suggested.

"I'm not sleeping in that thing!" I complained as I felt water fell onto my nose. I looked up and soon saw the sky pouring down rain.

"Fine by me." Paul replied as he let go of my hand and enter himself into the old house.

"Wait!" I said. "I changed my mind!"

Soon I decided to enter the old building. I really didn't want to enter but I really didn't have any other choice. It was either sleep in this place or get soaking wet outside. The old house was more of a shack. There wasn't really any room, not even a bathroom. As I walked around the place I felt the wooden floor bend, like my weight was making that sound.

"Paul was right. I'm kinda heavy." i thought starcasticly.

Since the forest was already dark when I entered it was hard to see where Paul was. I just picked a spot where it was warm and soft. I walked to the corner of the room. I laid myself against something soft and warm. I didn't expect to find anything warm or soft around in a place like this. I snuggled closer to the warm soft object and close my eyes and fell asleep quickly.

*~*~*~*

I rubbed my face into the soft object. I even wrapped my arms around it too. I felt something bright get into my eyes. I slowly lifted my eyelids and saw the object I saw was black. First I thought I went blind then I looked up and saw lavender hair. I pushed myself up to see who or what this thing was. Then I found out it was Paul. I blushed heaps and detached myself away from him. Good thing was he didn't wake up. He was sound asleep. Like nothing happened. I felt something around my shoulders. I took the item off and found out it was Paul's jacket.

Why did he cover my with his jacket?

I looked at him once again and gave his jacket back by putting it over his shoulders; acting like a blanket. I didn't know what came over me to do this but I knelt right beside him and brushed his fringe away from his face. He was sleeping like a small child. So peaceful and so innocent. I didn't want to believe that when he wakes up he will act like a compete jerk to me.

The way he slept reminded me of the night I saw him cry.

*~*~*~*

"Just go away will you?" Paul replied as he tried to push me away from me.

I personally let myself go and looked Paul into his eyes.

"Paul." I started. "Just tell me what happened and I will help you. I want to help you Paul."

Paul didn't reply. All he did was look into my eyes. His face lit a little. I was glad to see that. Even though he didn't reply I knew that he would like all the help he needed.

*~*~*~*

After all this time I got to see the soft side of Paul once again. I stood up and walked out of the shack quickly so I didn't disturb him. I saw that the forest was still dark but it wasn't as dark like last night. I got out two poke balls from my bag and threw them into the air to release them.

"Come on out Quilava and Flaaffy!" I called.

Red light was released from their poke ball and soon landed on the ground and soon formed the shape of my pokemon.

"Quil!" Quilava greeted.

"Fla!" Flaaffy greeted as well.

"Good morning guys." I greeted. "Guys will you mind helping me look for a few berries so I can make more poffins when we reach the next town?"

Both of my pokemon nodded. They both loved the dry poffins I made. I was running out so I needed a new batch. As both of my pokemon walked though the forest we were able to gather new berries. Thanks to Flaaffy charge and Quilava's flame lit bright on its back we were able to now where we were.

Well that is what I thought anyway.

"I think we have already been here before guys." I told to my pokemon as I looked at them and they did the same. "Don't tell me we are lost?"

"Quilava." Quilava sighed.

"Flaaffy." Flaaffy sighed as well.

"This is just great. Sometimes I wish I had a flying type pokemon with me." I sighed. "Wait." I said out loud. "I think we might get us out of here." I told my pokemon. "Here is the idea." I whispered to my pokemon.

*~*~*~*

After a few minutes I heard Paul's voice nearby. I looked back at my pokemon. "Okay guys, Flaaffy use thunderbolt once more and Quilava use Eruption now!"

Flaaffy released a powerful electric attack into the air while Quilava shot flame balls into the air. The thunderbolts smashed the flame balls and made them look like fireworks.

"Hi there." I smiled.

"What are you doing here?" Paul asked.

"Practicing my contest moves." I lied. If I told him that I got myself lost he would make fun of my again.

"You got lost didn't you?" he asked me once again.

"How did you… I mean me lost? Yeah right." I said. Acting like I wasn't lost in the first place.

"Come on." Paul replied. "Let's go before you get yourself lost even more."

Paul started to walk ahead of me. I looked at my pokemon and they looked back.

"Well at least we got to practice a new contest move." I smiled. "Thanks for the help guys." I added as I returned them back into their poke balls. I got up and chased after Paul. Hoping that I wouldn't get lost again.
