Chapter 5 - Realization, Releasement and a Kiss
The three coordinators and John were now only a few minutes away from his building that he had designed. John's car was in the front leading the way, while Drew's car was a few feet behind, but with Amelia as the driver. Unknown to John and the others, they had been going around in circles, the cold night being the reason. But soon enough, John was starting to notice that.
"Shit." he cursed, also slamming the steering wheel.
"What is it..?" May wondered, she was slightly dozing away, the car had a very nice warming ability.
"We've been going around for circles. See that tree over there? I've seen it before this night, two times."
He glanced at May quickly when he didn't get any answer, she was sleeping, peacefully. He smiled and shook his head, trying to navigate in the cold and very dark night. He wondered how Drew and Amelia were doing right now. He cursed once more when he saw that tree.
"Damn you, stupid tree." he whispered and gave it a glare.
Over at Drew's car, things weren't so quiet.
"I keep telling you that you'll lose him if you don't get closer!" Drew said, annoyed.
"But there is a rule or something that you can't be too close to another car!" Amelia said, trying not to lose John's car in the dark.
"What now? You don't even know what that rule is? And you have a driverslicense."
"THEN WHY DON'T YOU SAY THE RULE THEN, HMM?"
"How should I know? I don't have a driverslicense, things like that doesn't concern me. Now drive closer, or we'll lose them. It's pretty dark right now."
"Hmpf, FINE, but promise me you shut up!" Amelia said and went closer to John's car with a few millimeters. Drew looked at Amelia.
"Well? Get closer, now!"
"I JUST DID?"
"What the f-, you what? I swear you drive like my grandma."
"I DO NOT!"
"THEN GET CLOSER!" Drew almost screamed, he then calmed himself down, promising himself not to lose his temper like that again. Amelia muttered something and then accelerated a bit, making them pretty close to John's car.
"I swear.. If he suddenly just brakes and we crash into him, it's all your fault." Amelia said, thinking of a possible scenario where they crashed into John's vehicle, killing both of them.
"Relax, this thing has airbags." Drew said, closing his eyes. "Where the hell are we? It's been 30 minutes, we should've been at the pokécenter by now. I don't even think that we're in Jubilife City anymore."
"W.. What do you mean with that?" Amelia asked, looking at Drew.
"For crying out loud, eyes on the road, you'll get us killed!" Drew said, making Amelia scream and watch the road again. "What do you think I mean, I mean we're not in the city anymore. There hasn't been any buildings around here for five minutes, either that or we've been heading the wrong way."
"And what if we headed the wrong way?" Amelia asked, scared.
"A ghost will come and get us.. BOOH!" Drew said with a scary voice, chuckling after that. Amelia however didn't really notice that Drew was joking and screamed, making Drew deaf for a few seconds.
"Jeez.." Drew said, trying his hearing. "Maybe you should let me drive now?"
"N-No, I think I can make it.." Amelia said, her eyes closing and then opened every few seconds.
"I seriously doubt that. Next time John stops, we'll change places."
Amelia nodded, and continued to concentrate on the road, following John's every turn. John had now finally found out what road they were on now, and was now heading the right direction back to Jubilife City. They we're right now just outside of the city, in a road that was in the middle of a forest. Back in Drew's black car, Amelia was trying to get her mind off of the ghosts Drew was talking about.
"So.." she began. She glanced quickly at Drew, who had his eyes closed. Amelia didn't know if he was sleeping or not, maybe faking it, too.
"How long've you been together with May?" she asked.
"Zero seconds." Drew replied, still trying to rest with his eyes closed. "What time is it?"
"Don't try to change the subject." Amelia said and smirked, still watching the road and John's car. "Now, how did you two meet?"
"Can you please be quiet, I'm trying to sleep."
"Naw, does the little baby have to get some sleep?"
"Real funny." Drew said with sarcasm.
"I know." Amelia said and winked. She then realized that Drew still had his eyes closed and slapped herself on the forehead. Although it looked like the opposite, Drew actually had his eyes opened and saw everything that had just happened, and smirked.
'This girl..' he thought.
"Are you sure?" a young teen asked, worried.
"I certainly am young man, there is no sign of your Pikachu on any of the city's security cams." a man replied.
The young boy sighed. He thanked the head of town security and went out of the office to see how Dawn was doing. As he expected, she was still thinking deeply. But instead of staring at the ground, the young blue haired girl watched as the night stars lit up the outskirts of the city. Ash sighed and approached her, hoping to meet her and get some answers.
"Dawn?" the boy asked, watching the girl as she stood there, leaning against the wall of the building, still watching the stars and the moon.
"It's almost fullmoon.." she whispered.
"What?" Ash wondered.
Dawn turned her head towards the young teenage boy.
"Isn't it beautiful, Ash?" she said, the first thing she had ever said since that strange thing happened at that hotel, and besides what she had just whispered.
"I.." Ash got out, starting to get more worried about the girl. "I think so."
The girl smiled, and so did Ash.
"Dawn? Are you.. Feeling alright?" he asked, looking deeply into her blue eyes that was almost shining from the moonlight.
"Yeah.. Why shouldn't I be?" she replied with an ever so beautiful smile.
"You've been acting.. Strange, lately. I was starting to get worried."
"Oh, that's so sweet.." She said and looked down, putting one shoe against the wall to get a better grip. "I'm fine, you don't have to worry, Ash. I'm just thinking about a few things.."
She looked up into the sky again, leaving Ash with a funny expression on his face.
"Like what..?" Ash wondered.
He didn't get any answer, she was still standing there, looking at the stars. Ash sighed. He decided to join Dawn with her sky-watching and went next to her, also leaning at the wall.
'Boring.' Ash thought.
Dawn then suddenly turned her head and faced Ash, catching him a little bit off guard.
"Ash..?" she said.
"Y-Yeah?" Ash tried to say, he couldn't believe that Dawn was so pretty under the moonlight.
"Can I ask you a question?" she asked.
"S-Sure!" Ash stuttered.
"Promise me you'll be honest with me." she said with a serious face. Ash gulped, this was something real serious. He then looked into Dawn's blue eyes and nodded. She took a deep breath and once again looked up at the stars, but then turned around to face Ash. She was standing right in front of him, with her arms pushed against the wall, with Ash's head between them. Ash could feel her breath slowly hitting his lips every few seconds, their faces only a few inches apart. Ash gulped, he had never seen Dawn like this. She was staring directly into his auburn colored eyes.
"Ash." she finally said. "Who am I to you?"
'Is that all?' Ash thought and sighed inside.
"Your friend..?" he answered.
"Is.. Is that all I am to you?"
"Um.. Can I be more?"
Dawn backed away slightly after hearing that.
"So all of those hugs, high-fives.. Meant nothing to you..?"
"What? Of course they did!"
"In what way?"
"I.. Um, hugs are cool!"
Dawn's hopes of getting together with Ash quickly vanished.
"I see.." she said and backed away from him, but still looking deeply into his eyes. Ash didn't move, did he do something wrong?
"Then I am just a friend of yours like everybody else.." she continued, keeping her hands close to her heart. "Everyone, except one special girl, of course.. It's funny, here I thought you would be my first love." she said and forced a weak smile to emerge.
"Dawn, what are you talking about?" the boy wondered, he really had no idea.
"It's okay." she continued. "I understand. But I really envy her, that girl.." she said and closed her eyes, squeezing her night scarf with her hand. Ash just stood there, needing a translator for all of this.
"We should head back." she said quietly, thoughts swirling around in her head. "It's getting late, Brock and Nurse Joy are probably worried and waiting for us."
With that said, she turned around and started walking, leaving a confused Ash behind. Dawn stopped walking, trying to suppress the wave of tears wanting to get out, but it was no use. The tears were now running freely down her cheek, dropping down to the ground after reaching her chin. She clenched her fists, and then started running. Running towards the town full of lights, full of people, full of.. Joy.
"Dawn, wait!" Ash screamed and ran after the blue haired girl.
'What did I do now?' he thought as he tried to run faster, slowly losing the girl out of sight.
The brunette opened her eyes and found herself standing in the middle of a large field, full of flowers and beautiful pokémon like Beautifly and Butterfree, flying around, enjoying the summer days. The brown haired girl sighed as she watched the pokémon fly around in the beautiful field, having no problems at all. The teenage girl just stood there and watched, feeling jealousy over their simple life as pokémons. She could hear footsteps coming from behind, but didn't care to turn around, watching this field full of life was a once in a lifetime opportunity. The footstep sounds were now getting closer, and the person, so May assumed, was now standing next to her, also watching the beautiful scene in front of them. May could sense that the person next to her watched her body closely, but she didn't exactly care, somehow, she trusted this person.
"It's so beautiful.." May whispered, still gazing at the field and the pokémon. She didn't get any answer, why would she? She never asked the person anything.
"Uhuh." the person said.
May sighed. The person's voice was so sweet.. Was it John? No, impossible, why would he be with her?
"I've missed you." the boy almost whispered.
"Have you?" May answered.
It took a while before the boy said anything else.
"Of course, May. It's been years."
"Yes it has." May said. She then turned around and faced the boy. He was so handsome..
"But we haven't met yet." May continued. "This isn't real.."
The boy stepped closer and was now standing in front of her. The raven haired boy took both of her hands, holding them, while staring deeply into her sapphire eyes.
"This.. This isn't real, this is just a dream.." May whispered, trying to convince herself.
"So what if it is?" the boy said and leaned closer, bringing the girl into a soft but passionate kiss.
"Ash.." she whispered and opened her eyes. She sighed when she realized that she was still in that car with John. She sighed once more, wishing that she could experience all that once again. She gave out a big yawn which made John chuckle.
"Sleep well?" he asked, smiling. But he only received a big yawn for answer.
"For how long was I gone..?" she asked, trying to fix her vision.
"About 5 minutes." John answered. "We can see the city from here, shouldn't be too long before we're there. It's almost midnight, and we'll soon get some sleep."
May nodded and was about to head back to sleep some more, maybe she would dream that same dream, but then, she heard something familiar.
"Pika pikapi!"
Her eyes went wide, and she looked out of the window trying to spot what was making that sound.
"Pikachu?" she said, still trying to find the source of that sound. "John, did you hear that?"
"H.. Hear what?" he almost stuttered, still having his eyes on the road.
"I could almost swear that I just heard something.."
"Cha!"
"THERE, there it was again, please tell me you heard that, John."
"I'm sorry, maybe you're hallucinating? You should probably get some more sleep."
"No, John, pull over now. Please."
John cursed himself for not taking the other way to the town, and slowed down the vehicle, pulling into the side of the road. Both of them exited the vehicle, and then heard a high pitched sound, it was Drew's car that was slowing down, but they almost crashed into John's car. John and May could see Drew and Amelia get out of the car, having a fight about something. Amelia rushed towards the front of Drew's car and pointed at that place.
"See? We almost crashed into him! And it's your fault!" she said, glaring at Drew.
"But we didn't." he said and flicked his hair. "That means, I was right."
"RIGHT ABOUT WHAT? WE COULD'VE BEEN KILLED!"
"But we didn't. That's what I meant. We didn't crash, therefore, I was right."
Amelia was about to punch him in the face, but stopped when she heard a strange noise.
"What the hell was that?" she asked, looking at the forest right in front of them.
"You heard that, too?" May asked. "It sounds like pokémon."
"Yeah.. Why did we stop anyway?" Amelia asked.
"I thought I heard Pikachu.. We need to get going!" she said and started walking towards the dark forest that was emitting strange sounds. She turned around once and noticed that nobody followed her.
"Well? Come on!" she said, motioning for them to join her.
"May, it's a forest, it's probably just the pokémon mating." John replied and sighed.
"What? Alright then, Amelia, come with me!" May said, starting to get annoyed.
"NO WAY, IT'S TOO SCARY!" Amelia screamed, holding Drew's arms.
"D-Drew..?" May asked. Drew thought about it for a little while.
"It's probably just the pokémon mating, as John said." he answered, and John sighed with relief.
"But." Drew added. "If you say something is wrong, then we have to check it out."
"Thank you!" May said and gave him a huge smile. "Now let's go!"
Drew nodded and followed May into the dark forest. John sighed once more before following the two teens. Amelia, on the other hand, stood there alone, watching the three teens walk away from her.
"Fine! I'll stay right here! I'll guard the cars!" she said and crossed her arms. She was expecting that someone would ask her to come with them, but they were soon lost out of sight in the forest. Amelia sighed, and looked around in the road filled with darkness. Not being able to handle her fear, she ran towards the same direction that her friends just went to.
"WAIT FOR MEEEEEEEEEEEE!" she screamed, running with all her might, afraid that the darkness might eat her up.
"Damn she's fast." a young teen said while trying to catch his breath. "I just hope she made it there without any trouble."
The raven haired boy then prepared himself for an other running round, and started sprinting towards the pokécenter that was just a few seconds away from him. He reached the pokécenter doors, and took a deep breath before entering, hoping to find Dawn somewhere inside. When he walked inside, he was surprised to see that Brock was taking care of more than 10 pokémon that wanted to get some food and stuff like that. Brock heard the doors slide open and turned his head, seeing Ash stand there, looking all beat up.
"Hi Ash." he said and smiled.
"Hey, Brock." Ash answered and took a seat. "H-Have you seen Dawn?"
Brock nodded.
"What did you do to her, Ash..?" Brock wondered with a serious face. Ash sighed in relief, he had thought that Dawn was kidnapped or mugged on her way to the pokécenter.
"I.. I don't know, Brock. Girls are so.. Complicated, she asked me a few questions, hugged me, hit me, almost killed me-"
"Ash, wait, I'm just gonna give these pokémon their food so they can head to sleep."
Ash nodded and sighed. It had been a very, very long day. He closed his eyes, wanting to take a little rest before Brock was done, but instead of just resting, he went of to sleep, exhausted.
He stood there, in the evening, looking at the beautiful sunset. Why, he did not know. What time was it? He did not know. Where is everybody? He did not know. He sighed, still gazing at the red-orange sun, slowly slipping down in the ocean water in the horizon. He looked down to his feet, he was standing on a cliff that went pretty far out over the beach water. He looked to his sides, seeing nothing more but a long shore, never ending. He looked behind him, and only saw tight trees. He was trapped, he thought. But he liked it, just standing there, watching the sunset, alone. Or so he thought.
"It's beautiful, isn't it?"
Ash fell to the ground, almost crapping his pants after hearing that. He looked down at the ground, relieved that he hadn't fallen into the water. Or sand..
"Hm, careful." somebody said and giggled.
Ash, who finally had recovered from that.. Fall, looked up to see a person standing there, also watching the sunset.
"Ouch.. That really hurt. Yeah, it's kinda pretty." Ash said, still rubbing his butt that hurt. "Wait, who are you?"
"Silly, don't you know me?" the person said and giggled, also still gazing at the sunset. Ash tried to see who it was, but that person had a black parasol that covered his or her face, making him unable to see the person's face, head, or even hair. Ash raised himself, and rubbed his butt one last time.
"No.. Who are you?" Ash asked, wanting to rub his butt some more.
"So.. You've forgotten about me?" the person said, not giggling anymore.
"What are you talking about? I can't even see your face, and what the hell are we doing out here anyway?" Ash asked, looking around once more.
"Silly boy, you don't have to see anyone to know who they are.." the person said softly.
"Well.." Ash said, trying to see through the black parasol. "You're wearing a nice red dress that parasol ladies usually have, so that makes you a girl. Plus, you have a girlish sweet voice."
The person, who probably was a girl after what Ash had noticed, giggled.
"More..? Do you know who I am?" the girl asked, not moving from the spot.
Ash grew impatient, he always hated those stupid riddles and silly questions.
"No, I don't! But I wanna know!" he screamed, sprinting towards the girl who was a few feet from him. He grabbed her shoulder with his hand and was about to turn her around to see her face, but as soon as he did that, he woke up, wanting to punch someone in the face for that.
"Damn it!" Ash screamed, making Brock jump in surprise.
"Sheesh, Ash!" Brock said, still holding his hand to his heart. "Bad dream?"
"Nah.. But I don't know if you could call it a good one, either. For how long was I gone?"
"About 30 minutes, I believe."
"WHAT?" Ash screamed, making Brock jump again, holding his heart with his other hand, too.
"ASH! DON'T DO THAT!"
Ash chuckled a bit and rubbed the back of his head.
"Heh, sorry, it's just that it's been a really long day."
"Alright, Ash. Tell me everything, from the start, I'm listening." Brock said and took a seat next to Ash. Ash took a very unusual deep breath before he told Brock everything about what happened with him, Dawn and Pikachu. After a moments thinking, he decided to tell about the dream he just had about that strange, annoying girl. After he had finished telling everything, Brock sat there with a funny but serious expression on his face.
"Ash.. Do you realize what you have done?" he asked.
"N.. No?" Ash wondered.
"You broke her heart." Brock said with a serious tone.
"I what? How did I do that? I only hugged her, I didn't realize I squeezed her that hard.." Ash said, putting his index finger on his cheek. Brock face palmed after hearing Ash's answer.
"Not like that, Ash. The other way."
"What way? Did I make her heart stop?"
Brock face palmed once more, and then accidentally fell off the chair, still having his hand on his forehead. This was going to be a lot more harder than he thought. After all of these years, Ash, for some reason, still hadn't learned anything about love. Brock chuckled, how could he have been? It's always been about the pokémon battles, nothing else.
"No, Ash. Let me ask you this: Why do you think she wants you to hug her?" Brock asked after getting himself up from the floor.
Ash thought about it for a moment. Brock smiled, maybe he was going to figure it out?
"Cause.. She likes to grab people?"
Brock punched himself in the stomach, making Ash wonder if he had gone nuts.
"No, Ash. Keep guessing."
"Well, I dunno.. She just likes hugging?"
"Right, right." Brock said, nodding. "And why do people hug, exactly?"
"To get warmer?"
"Jeez, Ash! Pay attention!"
"Alright alright!" Ash said and frowned. "Cause, they like hugging each other?"
"Uhuh.. Why do they like that, Ash?"
"Cause.. It's nice?"
"Yes! And why is it nice, Ash?"
"How should I know?"
Brock slapped himself in his forehead again, maybe he was asking the wrong questions?
"Alright Ash, I'm gonna head straight for it. Why do you think Dawn wants to hug you that badly?"
"I don't know.. I don't know, Brock!" Ash almost screamed and shook his head, resting it on his hands.
"Concentrate Ash! This is important! Now, why doesn't Dawn come to me for hugs instead of wanting them from you?"
"Cause.. She wants to hug me!"
"Right! Why does she want to hug you, and only you?" Brock asked, getting his hopes up.
"Cause.. I don't know!" Ash said and laughed. Brock fell to the floor once more, getting frustrated.
"Alright, Ash." Brock said from the ground. "What would you say, if I told you that Dawn loved you?"
"LOVES ME? I.. I would say that that is impossible!" Ash almost screamed.
"Oh yeah?" Brock said, getting up from the floor, again. "Well, I am telling you that, right now. Dawn loves you. You turned her down."
"H.. WHAT? How can she love me? How did I turn her down? I didn't do anything!"
"Didn't you, Ash? Didn't you? Think of every action she has made towards you, think of everything she has said to you, everything she has asked you, and everything you've answered her. Think about it!"
Ash sighed and leaned against his chair. He closed his eyes, replaying every single moment these past few days about him and Dawn. After a few moments, Ash finally opened his eyes, staring at the ground, while Brock awaited his next move, hoping that he would understand.
"I.." Ash got out. He then hid his face with his hands, leaning forward.
"What have I done..?"
"May." John said and sighed. They had been wandering around in the forest for five minutes, following May around that tried to find any evidence for that something was wrong. "Let's get out of here, it's getting late, I think it's past midnight, May."
"He's right." Drew added. "We've been walking around for a few minutes and haven't found anything yet. We should head to the pokécenter, it's not too far away from our cars."
May sighed, she knew she couldn't do anything else than to listen to what Drew and John wanted to.
"P-P-Please, May?" Amelia stuttered, holding May's arm. "I'm starting to freak out, I CAN'T SEE ANYTHING!"
"No?" Drew said and smirked. "I can see your panties."
"OH SHUT UP!" Amelia screamed back. "Now can we please get out of here? I'm freezing!"
"Alright, let's go." May said and turned around.
A large roar could be heard, echoing through the forest, sending down shivers through the teens spines.
"C..C.. Can we go, now, like, NOW?" Amelia said, holding May's arm tightly.
"Something is seriously up. Let's go, John, May." Drew said and headed towards the roaring sound.
"ARE YOU CRAZY?" she said, letting go of May. But nobody listened to her, they just went off to that sound, ignoring her. Like last time, she screamed for them to wait for her while sprinting after them.
"Damn." was all Drew could get out. The teens were now looking at a raging giant looking creature, that tried to escape from a massive net that looked like it was made out of pretty strong material. Several men were trying to push the pokémon down using ropes, but it didn't look like they succeeded. More than half of the people that tried to calm the pokémon down flew off in different directions after being violently dragged towards the pokémon and then attacked with a Hyper Beam, making them unconscious and hurt pretty badly.
"Stop! You're hurting it!" May screamed, running in to the middle of everything.
"May! Get back here!" Drew screamed and went to go get her back.
John and Amelia just stood there, eyes wide open.
"Shit, is that.. A Blastoise?" John asked, still watching everything that happened.
"I.. I think so.. But it's, huge! It's ten times bigger than my car!" Amelia screamed, almost fainting.
"C'mon, let's help out May and Drew." John said and followed the two teens.
"No way, I'm staying RIGHT, HERE!" she said, backing off. But as she watched everything in front of her, she had two choices, either run away into the dark, or help her friends out here in the.. Well, it was pretty light with all of the Hyper Beams being shot. She sighed, and then ran after John.
"What do you think you're doing, kid! Get outta her!" a person in black clothes said.
"No way! Stop with what you're doing, right now!" May screamed.
"You want it that way, huh?" the person said. "Poochyena, go!"
The person with black clothes and an 'R' printed on the shirt threw his pokéball high into the air, soon unleashing a black and grey hyena creature, waiting for orders.
"OH YEAH?" May screamed, grabbing a pokéball, too. She was about to throw it into the air and call out her Venusaur, but Drew stepped in front of her, stopping her.
"Please allow me, May." he said, flicking his hair. "Absol, go!"
He threw a pokéball not so high into the air, and soon enough, a dark blue pokémon covered in white fur with a tuft on its head materialized in front of them.
"Sooool!" it screeched, waiting for Drew's orders.
"Absol, tackle it." he said, crossing his arms.
Absol wondered why his master gave out such a weak order, but obeyed any way and tackled the little hyena, making it faint instantly.
"No!" the person in black said, rushing towards his fainted pokémon. "Are you alright?"
"C'mon May, let's save the Blastoise." he said, watching the pathetic trainer and his weak pokémon. "You too, Absol."
Drew and May worked together to bring these bad guys down, one by one, giving the big Blastoise time to escape. It was about to launch a Hydro Pump towards the two people that didn't wear black, but redirected its attack towards the others when it saw them helping it. It let out a big roar, now completely free from that annoying net. May smiled when she saw that.
"Blastoise! You're alright!" she screamed, looking at the giant turtle.
"Stoise!" it replied.
"May." Drew said, grabbing another pokéball; His Absol was getting tired from battling one after another. "More on the way."
May turned around and saw at least 10 more persons, ready to bring the two teens down, no matter what the cost. She brought up one of her pokéballs and returned her now tired Venusaur.
"You deserve a nice long rest." she said, smiling at the pokéball.
"I'll take these guys, maybe I'll leave one for you. Maybe." he said, calling out his Roserade, a flower looking creature that looked like it also had some white hair, with pink and red flowers as 'hands'.
"Solarbeam."
Drew had totally forgot that it was in the middle of the night, there was no sun. Roserade's Solarbeam attack was less than not effective, and unfortunately for them, most of the bad guys pokémon were fire types. Roserade immediately fainted after a direct hit from a high leveled Overheat attack.
"Shit." Drew said as he recalled his fainted flower. "Your turn, May."
"Right." she said, grabbing a pokéball. "Blaziken, take the stage!"
May was about to call out an attack, but was stopped when someone else behind did it instead.
"Hydreigon, Hyper Voice now!"
A large, ear hurting sound could be heard that echoed through the forest, even so powerful that it made the ground shake and made a few people faint. As the persons in black were now temporarily unable to do anything, John, who had called the attack, and Drew, prepared to take them out in one shot.
"Alright, Flygon, you're-"
"Hold it!" May interrupted him, preventing him from taking his pokéball. "Allow me to, Drew." she continued and winked.
Drew sighed. Just this time then. He was already better than her on everything anyways. But why did she choose Ketchum over him?
"Blaziken, Flamethrower!" she said, grabbing another pokéball while doing so. "Beautifly, you're up!"
"Hydreigon, use-"
A large, but powerful stream of water came from behind the teens, hitting the men in front with a powerful force. A few men had been starting to recover from the Hyper Voice from before, but with the Hydro Pump that was just launched, they also fell to the ground, joining their already fainted companions.
"Aw, man, did you have to?" John asked, irritated. The giant turtle chuckled as answer.
"Alright, Beautifly, String Shot!"
The butterfly pokémon launched a thin but strong web against the men, binding them, making them unable to move, if they even could.
"Flygon, return." Drew said, recalling his giant green looking insect-dragon. "Let's recall their pokémon too, before they recover."
The three teens were about to grab a few pokéballs and recall the pokémon, but then heard a siren sound getting closer every second.
"Hold it right there!"
The siren sound was now next to the three teens revealing a motorbike with an extra seat by the side, driven by someone who probably was an officer. The motorbike stopped in front of them quite forcefully, making it look like the bike was about to flip over.
"Growlithe, prepare for a Flamethrower!" the officer said, jumping out of the bike. An orange colored puppy with black stripes jumped out of the bike together with its master.
"Oh please." Drew said, smirking. "You think that little thing could defeat me?"
Officer Jenny clenched a fist.
"Excuse me? Was that an insult?" she said, glaring at Drew. But Drew just stood there, still smirking.
"With all due respect, Officer Jenny, we're three persons, against you and your Growlithe. Do you think you have a chance?" Drew then looked over at John, who sighed and nodded, he knew what to do.
"So it was an insult." Officer Jenny replied and gritted her teeth. "Growlithe, tackle them!"
The red-orange puppy also gritted its teeth, and then charged towards the green haired coordinator. But Drew just stood there, smirking. The puppy had now jumped into the air, aiming for Drew somewhere under his stomach.
"Hyper Voice.." John said and sighed. As before, a large schreech could be heard, but this one was a little bit weaker than the last two ones. The puppy quickly fell to the ground after being an inch from Drew's crotch, trying to cover it's ears. Officer Jenny also fell to the ground, trying to get the ringing in her ears to stop. And under all of this, Drew still stood on the same place, still smirking, even though he was about to fall from the force from Hydreigon's Hyper Voice. After a little moment, Officer Jenny had regained her hearing, and saw her puppy in front of her, fainted. Drew's smirk went even wider when he saw that the puppy had fainted.
"It.. Fainted?" he said, still smirking with his hands in his pockets. Officer Jenny rushed to her puppy, wondering if it was alright.
"Are you okay?" she asked, rubbing its fur. The puppy nodded, still having a headache from that loud scream. Officer Jenny gritted her teeth and picked up her radio.
"This is Office Jenny, I need immediate backup to the Jubilife Forest, bring the dogs!"
"But officer, we are not the bad guys!" May said and stepped forward.
"Then who is? We've been having reports of criminals capturing peoples pokémon, and that this is the place were they store them!" Officer Jenny said.
"Officer, they're right over there." John said, pointing to the group of men lying on the ground with web covering their bodies.
"Oh my, did you do all this?" Officer Jenny asked, stunned. "How did you stop Team Rocket?"
"We'll explain later." Drew said, flicking his hair. "Now can we please recall their pokémon. I don't think that the web will hold for the fire pokémon.
"Right." Officer Jenny said and nodded while recalling her fainted puppy. "I'll help you."
The three teens plus Officer Jenny recalled every foe pokémon, while the backup was on the way. Meanwhile, the teens told everything to the officer, about how they got here and what Team Rocket were doing with that giant Blastoise.
"Giant Blastoise?" Officer Jenny asked. "Are you kids high? Don't make me report you guys!"
"We're not!" May said, feeling tired.
"Well, I haven't heard anything about a giant Blastoise. But I have heard that Team Rocket is using someplace in Jubilife City to store the stolen pokémon, I guess it must be somewhere around here. Kids, help me find it." Officer Jenny said, starting her bike up. "I didn't see anything on my way here, but I did hear some strange pokémon noises. We'll split up, you guys take that side while I scan this side again. They must be somewhere around here."
The teens nodded and went off to find the stored pokémon somewhere in the forest. Drew and May went together to check one side while John sat on the other seat in the motorbike with Officer Jenny. After a while, May was starting to yawn, feeling that she would like to sleep, here in the forest if necessary.
"Maybe you should head back to the car." Drew said, listening for any sounds of the stolen pokémon. "I don't think we'll find anything in this part of the forest."
"No.." May whispered. "We have to find Pikachu."
"Pikachu? You mean Ketchum's?" Drew wondered.
"Y-Yeah, I think I heard it before, that's why we stopped in the first place."
"Really? Then they must be somewhere close to the road, c'mon, we've been looking at the wrong place."
May didn't have the power left to open her mouth and answer, so she just nodded. Being so dark out there in the woods, Drew didn't even see when she nodded, making her lose power for nothing. May was about to take a little rest by leaning against a tree, but then heard something.
"You heard that? Or am I going crazy?" May asked, scared.
"No, I heard that. Let's go." Drew said, heading the way where the sounds came from.
The sounds got louder and louder the closer the two of them went, while the trees got less thicker the further they got into the woods, somehow.
"Damn." Drew said, stunned.
They had reached to a part of the forest that had a large lake, and there was probably over 50 cages with pokémon locked by the lake, screaming and trying to get out using their attacks, it was obviously not working. Drew and May was now standing in front of them, making every pokémon quiet, they wondered if those two were good or bad guys.
"Pika pikapi!"
"Pikachu!" May screamed, now feeling a little bit more awake. She rushed to a little cage that contained the little mouse pokémon.
"Pikachu! Are you alright?" May asked, trying to unlock the cage.
"Pi pikachu!" he answered.
"Oh, that's good!" she said, still trying to unlock the cage. Pikachu sweatdropped at this. "Where's Ash?"
"Pi, pikachu, pikapi pi.. Kachu.. Cha..." it said, shaking its head.
"You left him? He saw who naked?" May wondered.
"Pikapi, pikachu."
"IS HE DEAD?" May screamed, making Pikachu slap himself on the head.
"Pikachu! Pikapi, pipikachu!"
"What do you mean 'he's probably dead'?"
Pikachu once again slapped himself on the forehead, not wanting to talk more about his master.
"Don't worry, we'll get you guys out of her!" May said, looking back at Drew, who just stood there, staring at her and the mouse creature.
"Drew, let's get Officer Jenny!" May said.
Drew nodded, and soon enough the two of them went to get Officer Jenny and John, leaving confused pokémon behind, thinking that the two people had left them.
"May." Drew said, still concentrating, trying to figure out where they were.
"Yeah?" May said, watching the green haired coordinator trying to navigate.
"How did you understand Pikachu?" he asked, closing his eyes, trying to listen for the officer's motorbike.
"I.. I don't know." May answered, suddenly realizing that she had understood every word Pikachu had said to her.
"Never mind about that right now." Drew said, getting annoyed. "Help me find our way to Officer Jenny."
May nodded and joined Drew in his trying-to-figure-out-where-we-are looking, also feeling the sleepiness returning, slowly but surely.
Back at the pokécenter, with the boy and the breeder, things were a lot more calmer, atleast for one of them.
"Damn it, damn it, damn it, DAMN IT!" Ash screamed, punching himself in the stomach. Brock looked at him, wondering if he was going nuts.
"Where is she?" Ash asked, he had been torturing himself for not realizing the girl's true feelings about him sooner.
"She's in her room, room 6." Brock answered, now taking care of his own pokémon, feeding them before they went off to sleep. "Are you sure want you to meet her now?"
"I.. I have to apologize.." Ash sighed, standing up.
"I know you want to do that, but Ash, don't you think that it gets worse when you tell her that you don't love her, again?" Brock asked, recalling his pokémon so that they could get some rest.
"I.. But I.."
"Ash. She's going through a lot right now. You should get some rest. And about the hotel room, forget that, you can head there tomorrow with someone else or something, you should take my room."
"But where will you sleep?" Ash wondered.
"I, eheh.." Brock said and blushed.
"Oh, did it go well with Nurse Joy?" Ash asked, teasing him.
"For a matter of fact, it did!" Brock said and smiled. "But her name is actually Mary Joy."
"What?" Ash asked, stunned. "Oh right, Joy is their last name, everybody has their own forename of course."
"Yes, she's wonderful!" Brock said and started dreaming, but went back to reality pretty soon. "Ash, here's the keys. Get some sleep."
Ash sighed, he knew he couldn't to anything. But all his energy came back just like that when he thought about Pikachu.
"PIKACHU! WHERE IS HE?" he screamed, making Brock cry in pain as he got scared.
"ASH! THINK ABOUT MY HEART FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!" Brock screamed, holding his hands next to his heart.
"Sheesh, sorry.. Have you seen Pikachu? I can't find him, we've been checking the town's security cams but they haven't picked up anything yet."
"Maybe he's not in the city? But you shouldn't think about that right now, get some sleep." Brock said and stood up, walking towards Ash.
"I don't know.. It feels like I'm letting him down if I stop looking, Brock." Ash said and sighed, thinking about his best friend.
"You have a lot going on right now, get some sleep, or I'll make you." Brock said and chuckled.
"How..?" Ash asked, yawning.
Brock then pressed a pressure point somewhere near Ash's neck, making him fall to the floor, sleeping, and, snoring.
"Woah! I can't believe that sleeping trick worked! I have to thank Mary later." Brock said and laughed. He then prepared to bring Ash into one of the pokécenter rooms, trying to do so without waking the boy up.
"I have to hand it to you guys, you've done some pretty amazing work here tonight. Although I still don't believe that there is a giant Blastoise walking around somewhere around the forest." Officer Jenny said and smiled.
"It was nothing really.." John said and sighed. They were standing by the lake, watching as the policemen arrested the bad guys and pokémon, too. They had already released the pokémon, but kept most of them as they didn't know where their masters were, so the police had to put up an announcement in the city about them. Slowly, but surely, one by one pokémon was picked up by their respective trainers, and soon enough, there was only one remaining.
"Cha..." the yellow rodent complained.
"Nobody understands you." Drew said, thinking about something. "May's asleep."
He looked at the brunette that was 'resting' on a large rock, sleeping sweetly. Pikachu sighed, and Drew kept thinking that something was missing.
"Well, I don't think that you guys can help anymore, unless you know anything more?" Jenny asked.
John and Drew shook their heads, although John shook it a little bit more violently.
"Alright, then I guess you guys can head out of here, but I do require that you guys file a report for me tomorrow, you should probably get some sleep now." she said, yawning.
"Alright Drew, let's go." John said, wondering who would carry May to the car.
"Something is wrong." Drew said, still thinking hard with his eyes closed.
"What?" John wondered, he didn't want anymore to do with this.
Drew didn't respond, he was still trying to figure out what the hell was making him concerned. For some reason the word 'green' was on his mind.
'Hm.' he thought. 'Why the hell does it feel like something is missing? Something.. Green.. Annoying, beautiful.. Someone.'
Drew then snapped up his head, making John jump by surprise.
"Where the hell is Amelia?" Drew suddenly said, staring at John.
"Amelia? She's right-"
John turned around, trying to spot her somewhere in the crowd of policemen. After a moment, he sighed and turned to face Drew.
"Fuck." was all he said, slapping himself in the forehead.
"Why are you swearing young man? One more word like that and it's going in the report!"
"I'm sorry officer. But one of our friends are missing." John replied with a sigh.
"What? Are you serious?"
"Yes. Drew, where are you going?" John asked.
"To find her." Drew said as he walked into the dark forest once more. John sighed, and then turned towards Officer Jenny for advice.
"I guess we should go look for her." she said, motioning for another policeman to come over. "We need to find a little girl, we have to search the whole forest."
"How does she look like?" the policeman asked.
"15 years old, pink haired, pink clothes. Shouldn't be too hard to find." John answered.
"Right." the policeman said and nodded. "The search should take a maximum of 10 minutes to cover the whole forest with our men."
"This is a priority one search, make it quicker." Officer Jenny added.
The policeman made a quick salute, and then went off to execute the search order.
"I think you should go help Drew with that side, I'll organize my men."
John then ran off after Drew, finding him after sprinting for five minutes, now how the hell did Drew get out here so fast?
"Drew? Found her yet?" he asked, catching his breath. Drew stopped walking after hearing John's question, but still didn't turn around.
"You know." Drew started, taking his hands out off the pockets. "I've heard many retarded questions, but that one takes the prize."
"So you haven't..?" John asked, finally being able to breathe normally. It took a while before Drew answered.
"I guess that one took the first place instead."
John gave out a short laugh, and then, silence.
"We should head back, maybe the police has spotted her." John finally said.
He didn't get any answer, instead, Drew picked up his cellphone and dialed a number.
"Hi!" a voice could be heard from Drew's phone. "Sorry, you've reached Amelia's phone, but I'm not here right now, please leave a message after the beep."
-Beep-
Silence. Nobody said anything, John didn't move, he just watched as Drew still held the phone next to his ear. But soon, Drew finally spoke.
"Listen." he said and paused. "Pick up the phone, now."
Nothing could be heard.
"If I.." he continued. "If I find out that somebody kidnapped her, I'll rip your whole body apart, and if you so much as touch her-"
He was interrupted by a long beep, signaling that he was recieving an incoming call. He pushed a button, ending the call and switched to the incoming one.
"It's Ken." a voice could be heard. "I picked up her phone's signal, she's in the forest."
Drew's eyes went wide, so did John's.
"Do you have her location?" Drew asked, clenching his fist.
"Yes." the voice said. "I'll send it right away."
"Wait, Ken." Drew quickly said, stopping the person from ending the call.
"Yes?" the person, Ken, said.
"Thank you." Drew said, closing his eyes.
The person was clearly surprised over what Drew had just said, as he didn't respond immediately.
"Anytime." Ken finally said and ended the call.
Drew lowered the phone and looked up at the night sky, watching the moon as it lit up the whole forest. After a few seconds, another beep could be heard, making Drew raise the phone again, checking the coordinates for Amelia's location. John had now snapped out of his temporary freeze and walked to Drew, putting his hand on Drew's shoulder.
"Alright! We know where she is, she's almost in front of us!" John said, checking Drew's cellphone.
"No.. No.." Drew said, shaking his head.
"What?" John asked, walking in front Drew towards Amelia's shown location. "She's right here let's go!"
Drew shook his head once more, and for some reason, turned around and walked away towards Officer Jenny and the other policemen.
"Hey! Where the hell are you going?"
Without turning around, Drew threw his cellphone high into the air, making John almost jump to catch it.
"Drew!" John screamed, holding the cellphone in his hands, watching the green haired coordinator slowly get out off sight. Instead of giving John an answer, Drew put his hands in his pockets, thinking about the pink haired girl. John shook his head, maybe Drew wanted him to get Amelia for him? He sighed, and started following the mark on the forest map displayed on the cellphone, and it also gave out beeping sounds that went faster the closer he got to the marking. He had now entered a clearing in the forest, free from thick trees. The beeping sound was now beeping rapidly; he was pretty close by now.
"Amelia!" he screamed, trying to spot the pink haired girl.
No answer. He sighed and continued to walk. Drew's cellphone was beeping like crazy, it showed him that he was right on the marking. He looked around but still couldn't spot Amelia anywhere. He shook his head, he didn't understand, she's supposed to be right here! But then he spotted something, something on the ground a few feet from him, an object. He walked closer to it, trying to see what it was. It was shining brightly, probably because it was reflecting the moon light. He picked it up, even getting blinded a few seconds because of the light. Drew's cellphone wasn't even beeping anymore, it just gave a long annoying sound, that never ended. John gulped and feared the worst. He watched the little object, carefully. It was a cellphone. Its screen was totally shattered, it was very difficulty to see anything on the screen at all. He tried to see what it said on the mobile, it was difficult, but not impossible.
NEW VOICE MESSAGE!
FROM: Sexy-Boii
TIME: 0.46 AM
PLAY MESSAGE?
John gulped once more before he pushed the the play button on the cellphone. He put it next to his ear, listening intensively. After hearing the three first words, he cursed out loud, then turned around to head back to Drew and the officers. It was Drew's voice on that voice message.. So it was Amelia's cellphone.
"Heh, still awake?" Brock asked, finishing his How-to-make-the-perfect-recipe guide on paper.
"I couldn't sleep.." the blue haired coordinator said and gave Brock a weak smile.
"I understand. Take a seat, just relax and you'll get tired soon enough." Brock said, happy to be finished with his awesome guide.
"I don't think so." the blue haired girl said and giggled.
"Hm.. I know!" Brock said and stood up. "If you can't sleep, let my try this on you!"
The blue haired girl just nodded, confused, wondering what the breeder had on his mind. Brock walked towards her, and put a hand between her shoulder and neck and squeezed, hard.
"OW WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?" Dawn screamed and jumped up from the chair in pain, scaring Brock in the process, making him fall to the floor, stunned.
"B-But it worked on Ash!" Brock whined from the floor.
"It did?" Dawn said, rubbing the place that was still aching. "Maybe he was already asleep or something?"
"Heh, probably." Brock answered and got back in his chairs. There was an akward silence for quite a long time, before Dawn broke it with a sigh and a question.
"Do.. Do you think Ash likes this..? Playing with my heart..?"
Brock looked at her and shook his head.
"Impossible. You should've seen him before when I got him to realized what he had done."
"He told you..?"
"Yes." Brock said and nodded. He took a deep breath before telling Dawn about what Ash and him had talked about before, and how Ash had reacted.
"So he does care.." Dawn said and sighed. "I thought he was some kind of playboy or something.."
"Heh, Ash? Never, he's the best friend you can have, even though he's the most dense person you'll ever meet in your whole life." Brock said and laughed. "Now how about we try out my new recipe, hm?"
"Oh, sure!" Dawn said and smiled excited. "But what kind of recipe is it?"
"Well, I have one for pokémon food and one for different cupcakes, which one would you like to try out?"
"Which one do you think?" Dawn said and giggled.
"Alright, we can use the centers kitchen." Brock said and started walking towards it. "Are you sure you can stay up? It's pretty late and I don't wanna get killed by your mom if she finds out."
"I'm pretty sure she'll never find out, Brock." Dawn answered and giggled. "Now let's make cupcakes!"
After she said that, she sprinted the last part to the kitchen and made Brock fall to the floor again.
"Looks like she's back to normal." Brock sighed with a smile. "Ow, my butt.."
He then raised himself from the floor to go and make some chocolate cupcakes with the blue haired girl.
"Tommy, is there any sound on this?" Officer Jenny asked the head of security. Head of security, Tommy, shook his head.
"We only have microphones on the cameras inside the city, it's lucky enough we have a few of these cameras outside." Tommy replied.
"Alright.." Officer Jenny said and sighed. "Kids, keep your eyes open, you don't wanna miss her."
John, Drew, Tommy and Jenny watched the cameras carefully, trying to spot any movement at all.
"Can't you fast forward?" Drew asked, growing impatient.
"I'm sorry young man, this is live from our cameras. We can watch the recordings later, but I doubt that's a good idea right now."
Drew nodded, and everybody checked the cameras again, hoping to find Amelia somewhere. After a few minutes, Drew spotted something.
"There." he said and pointed towards a screen. Tommy enlarged the screen so that everybody could see it better. Everybody stared at Drew, they couldn't see anything. Drew then walked out of the office, leaving everybody confused.
"There!" John said after finally spotting Amelia.
They could see her on the screen, being carried away by 4-5 men from Team Rocket. They had even tied her whole body, also putting some sticky tape over her mouth, probably cause they had gotten a headache from her screaming.
"I have to go help Drew!" John said, sprinting out of the room. However, Officer Jenny stopped him.
"Hold it right there! Who's gonna take care of May?" Officer Jenny said, looking out of the office window. May was still sleeping softly in the car, smiling every now and then.
"FUCK!" John screamed, making Tommy chuckle.
"Watch that language young man, don't forget what I told you earlier." Officer Jenny yelled at him, pointing with her finger. John sweatdropped at this and sighed.
"But what about Drew? I have to go help him!"
"I think that he can handle himself just fine, dear. Now you go get that young lady somewhere safe, I'm gonna go help Drew with my men."
With that, Jenny rushed to her motorbike and fired it up, also taking up her radio reporting about the missing pink haired girl. John sighed, and ran to his car, starting it. He looked at May and chuckled. She would finally get to the pokécenter. He then noticed the yellow rodent that was sitting on her lap, also sleeping. Was it her pokémon?
"Mjhom, nom.. Ng, I have to admit that this recipe was pretty good!" Dawn tried to say, her mouth full of chocolate cupcake.
Dawn had successfully made a few cupcakes that tasted like heaven, although Brock didn't have the same luck. Or skill.
"Why.. WHY!" Brock screamed, tasting his burned cupcake.
"It isn't my fault that you left them too long in the oven." Dawn said and giggled, still chewing on her delicious cupcake.
Brock was about to cry a little bit over his cupcakes, but the pokécenter doors slid open, making him look up in surprise.
"Hey, does anybody know this girl?"
Brock and Dawn were both surprised over that a young man came into the room, holding a sleeping brunette on his hands.
"May!" Brock shouted, running towards her. "Is she alright?"
"Yes, she is fine, she just needs a good nights sleep, can you please take care of her?"
The man put down the brunette girl on a chair next to Brock. Brock opened his mouth to ask who that man was, but the man quickly left the building, making Brock and Dawn gasp in surprise.
"Who.. Who is she? What just happened?" Dawn asked, showing some cupcake pieces in her mouth.
"It's May! She used to travel with me and Ash, plus her little brother."
"She what? Really?" Dawn asked, a piece of cupcake now falling from her mouth to the floor."
"Yeh. I wonder who that guy was? And what does May do here?"
"Wait, you said you used to know her?"
"Hm, still not tired, I see?" Brock asked and smiled.
"I'll be after you told me about her." Dawn replied, still chewing.
Brock sighed with a smile, this was going to be a longer night than he expected.
"This is soooo boring." a man in black clothes said.
"Cram it Jack, our orders is to wait. You know that." another man, also in black clothes, replied.
"DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE? WE HAVE A KIDNAPPED GIRL! WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR HALF AN HOUR JUST BECAUSE A TALKING CAT TOLD US SO?"
"It's our orders.. We have to obey them." a man replied, who probably was the leader of the five Team Rocket men.
"Oh yeah! I say screw that cat! Let's grab this girl!" the man said, stepping closer towards the pink haired girl that was scared to death, trying to escape from the ropes tied around her body.
"Jack, please, don't." the leader said, frowning. "Jesse and James wants the girl, we have nothing to do with her other than hand her over to them when they get here."
"I don't care! Why don't we have some fun with her before we hand her over, then?"
The other members in the Rocket group watched their companion as he was filled with excitement and lust, not being able to handle the knowledge that they had a beautiful tied up teen right in front of them.
"Hey there, little girl, let's have some fun, shall we?" he said and smirked, reaching for the girls upper body. Out of the bushes, a strange object lunged itself towards the man, Jack, and quickly tackled him to the ground before he could get what he wanted.
"Hey, what the-"
The man was interrupted by a massive punch to the jaw, another punch like that would brake it for sure. Jack's vision was blurry, but he could see that on top of him sat a green haired teen, ready to kill the man at any moment. The rest of the Rocket members stood there, not realizing what just happened. After regaining their senses, they quickly grabbed their pokéballs, ready to fight against the intruder. The leader pressed the button on his pokéball, enlarging it, and was about to throw in the air when he was stopped by the cold voice of the green haired boy.
"I wouldn't do that." the boy said, glaring at the leader.
The leader gritted his teeth, he knew where this was going, he had been through this once before.
"Stand down!" the leader said, motioning for his teammates to drop their pokéballs into their pockets.
"But.. He's beating down Jack!" a member said from behind.
"He deserves it." the leader said, watching his companion get beat up by a teen. Drew gave the leader a grateful look, before punching Jack on the face two times more, breaking his jaw for real. He then raised himself and went to Amelia, who had been quiet this whole time. Drew tried to untie her, but the rope was made of strong material.
"Knife." Drew said.
The Rocket members wondered what he meant, but the leader threw a pocketknife towards Drew who skillfully catches it, and then unties Amelia with it.
"D-Drew.." Amelia stuttered, happy that she was finally free.
"Did they touch you?" Drew asked, looking at the beat up man on the ground.
"Doesn't look like it.." Amelia answered, following Drew's eyes.
"Let's go." Drew said, grabbing Amelia's hand while he went back to the security office to get his car.
The Rocket members watched as the teens left them, stunned by everything that had just happened.
"Are we going to let them walk away just like that?" a member asked.
He didn't receive any answer, and every Rocket member shifted their gaze towards their unconscious team member on the ground. Two men stepped towards the man on the ground and was about the help him up, but was stopped by their leader.
"Leave him." he said, watching Jack on the ground.
The two Rocket members hesitated for a moment, but then left the man on the ground, leaving together with the rest of the group.
"Thank you.." Amelia whispered, squeezing Drew's hand while they walked through the dark forest. She didn't get any vocal answer, instead Drew answered by squeezing her hand even harder.
"Let's go." Drew said, feeling awfully tired.
"Where..?" Amelia asked.
Drew stopped walking. He had forgot that he didn't have any place to stay in Jubilife City, the hotel he stayed in before was now already full after he had checked out.
"I.. I don't know. Guess I have to check with Ken if he has a place here." Drew answered, letting go of Amelia's hand.
"You.." Amelia started and blushed. "You could stay at my place."
Drew snapped up his head at this.
"Bad idea." he said.
"Why? If you don't, then you'll probably wander around in the forest! Come on, I have two beds!" she complained.
Drew sighed in defeat, he knew that she was right.
"Alright." he said, sighing. "Where is it?"
"It's the pink house near the pokécenter!" Amelia said, brightening up.
Drew smiled and nodded, and then turned around to keep on walking towards his car, but then heard a strange sound. He turned around again and saw Amelia lying on the ground, not moving.
"Amelia! Are you okay?" he asked, pulling her up from the ground.
She made a sound that sounded like a snore, making Drew smile. But then, he facepalmed.
"Shit, now I have to carry her." he said and sighed. Then he pulled her up, surprised that she weigh so little.
"This ain't so bad." he said, feeling her breath hit his neck every now and then. He blushed when he noticed that he was holding her bridal style. After a few minutes, Drew had finally reached his car, and put Amelia in the passenger seat. He picked up his phone and called Officer Jenny, although it was a little bit harder than he thought; The officers was wondering who he was and why he wanted to speak with Jenny. But after some shouting here and there he finally reached her and told her that he had gotten Amelia, leaving the part where he almost killed that douchebag. After that call, he decided to call John, too.
"Who is it?" John asked, it was very easy hearing that he was tired and annoyed.
"It's Drew." Drew replied.
"Hey, how's it going? Did you find Amelia? I'm on my way right now, hold on!"
"No, I got her, it's fine. You should head home, get some sleep."
"Oh, thank Arceus for that." John said and sighed. "Right, you should probably do that, too. Do you have a place to stay at? You could crash over at my place if you don't."
"Uh, I.. I have." Drew quickly said and ended the call rather quickly. Drew stashed away his cellphone and watched as the girl next to him smiled while she was sleeping. Drew decided to drive by the pokécenter and see how May was doing, he was on his way there anyway. After parking his car just outside of the center doors, he entered the building, still hesitating about whether he should bring Amelia or not. He decided not to, he was just stopping by quickly anyways..
"Hi Brock." Drew said, startling the breeder as he was talking to a young blue haired girl. "How's May doing?"
"Shit, Drew, you scared me! How the hell did you get in here so quiet? Is that Pikachu?" Brock said, feeling his heart break apart after Drew had scared him.
"Brock! Don't swear! You're supposed to be the grown up!" Dawn whined from the chair, wondering who that green haired boy was. "Hi Pikachu!"
"Pikapikapi!" the yellow rodent said and yawned.
"Yeah, she's right, Brock. We're allowed to swear, not you." Drew said, smirking.
"Whatever." Brock said, catching his breath. "What's going on? What happened to May and that guy that carried her inside? I have so many questions my head is about to blow."
"Well, when May wakes up, she'll tell you everything. But I have to go now, I was just checking in on May. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to get going."
As he said that, he nodded towards Brock and was about to leave, but then spotted the blue haired girl that was staring at him.
"Miss." Drew said with a smile and bowed. He, somehow, threw a rose towards the girl and then left the building, leaving the two of them stunned.
"I.. I guess that was May's rival, Drew?" Dawn said, holding the rose with her hand.
"Yup, he's kinda cool. Although he never hit it off with Ash." Brock responded, feeling the urge to make new cupcakes.
"He's hot.." Dawn thought out loud.
Brock sweatdropped and Dawn realized what she just said, she began trying to make Brock think of something else by giving him her half eaten cupcake.
"Tired yet?" Brock asked. He was starting to feel tired himself, he sighed when he saw that it was 1.35 am.
"Almost." Dawn said and winked. "Now, what are we going to do with that hotel room?"
"Well, why don't you and I go there? Ash has a little room, and May can take yours."
"Brock, it's a room for two, if you know what I mean."
"Ah, oh. Well.. Maybe one of us could go there?"
"Who? I don't wanna go there alone.. And two people has to go, if only one of us leaves, there's still one person left."
Brock and Dawn thought about it for a moment, before both of them snapped their heads up with a huge grin and looked at each other.
"You're thinking what I'm thinking?" Dawn asked, smirking.
"You bet." Brock replied, also smirking.
"Pika?" the yellow mouse pokémon asked. He had stayed her with Dawn and Brock hoping to meet Ash later.
"And you, you're coming with us!" Brock said, smirking.
Drew had finally found Amelia's house after almost 20 minutes, when she said 'The Pink House', he didn't understand that she meant that only the roof was pink. He sighed, and parked his car outside of her pink colored roof house. He got out of the car, took Amelia, and locked his car before going towards her door. It was a very small house, but he assumed that the inside would be a lot more full of stuff. That was, pink.. He sighed, and was about to open the door, but it was locked, of course. He was about to face palm, but holding Amelia over the shoulder would make that a little bit difficult for him. He tried to figure out where her keys were, and soon saw something stick out of here skirt. He blushed, but he had to do it, he reached in her back pocket of her skirt to find her keys. Soon enough, after going through make up and other crazy stuff she had in just that little pocket, he found her keys. He quickly opened it and put her down on her bed, softly. He was thinking about changing her, but that thought quickly disappeared. Instead, he just took of her blouse, putting it on her desk next to the bed. He sighed. He didn't put the bed cover over her body, he just let her lie there, sleeping, peacefully. It was probably too warm to have cover over body anyways. He sighed again, wondering what he should do. Maybe head to sleep? Her bed was made for two, obviously. He shook his head and decided to sleep in the living room instead, on her couch or something. He started walking towards her awfully small living room, but then noticed her computer on her desk. He smirked. Should he? Just a little bit. Heh.
"I can't believe we're actually doing this man." a breeder said, holding a brunette in his arms.
"I'm not a man." a blue haired girl replied, holding her ex-crush in her arms and over her shoulder. A Pikachu was sitting on her other shoulder, smiling at his master who was snoring.
"Ow come on, it's just a saying. Man.. Do you know how heavy she is?"
"Are you kidding me? I just met her a few hours ago, if you can call that meeting each other."
"Bleh, can't this stupid thing hurry up?"
A soft 'pling' could be heard, and the elevator doors opened slowly after so that the two persons could exit.
"Now, which room is it?" the breeder asked, feeling like dropping the brunette he was carrying.
"It's right.. There." Dawn said, going towards the room that they had reserved. She took her keys out of her pockets, relieved that the lady at the reception had given them an extra key just in case. She opened the door, and went inside with Brock. The moment they entered the room, they just couldn't say anything, even Pikachu gasped. The room itself was bigger than the pokécenter lobby, and the bed.. Well, it was very big for 'some reason'. In front of the bed was an enormous tv, probably worth a fortune. The bed was to the left, while the tv was to the right, if seen from Dawn's and Brock's perspective. To the sides of the two, there was a large wardrobe where the guests could put their clothes and shoes, it was large enough for almost four people. The room also had a huge refrigerator in the mini-kitchen that had a few chairs and a table, and other stuff that they didn't really care about, except maybe Brock. The room was red and pink, obviously being love-themed. If you went straight forward to the end of the room, there was a balcony, with an extraordinary sight over the beautiful city that was full of lights everywhere. Next to the tv, was the bathroom. Brock and Dawn went there together to check it out. They both gasped when they saw it; it had a giant bathtub, or a jacuzzi to be more exact. It had no curtains at all, and when they now thought about it, the bathroom didn't have any door to close, hence the name the room has.
"Dawn.. What the hell is this kind of hotel room?" Brock asked stunned.
"I.. I believe it's the Honeymoon Room or something.." Dawn said, getting jealous.
"I see." Brock said, smiling. "Let's get these two lovebirds into the bed and head out of here."
"Lovebirds?"
Brock only chuckled for an answer. The two of them put down their respective persons on the bed. Dawn decided to play a little prank on Ash, putting him on the bed side that was closest to the balcony, she hoped that he would get some sunlight into his eyes when he woke up. Either way, when any of them woke up, they would be into a big surprise. After Dawn had taken out Ash's hoodie, and after Brock didn't dare to touch any of May's clothes, both of them decided to head back to the pokécenter and get some well deserved sleep. Dawn opened the door but was stopped when she heard Brock whisper
'HEY!'
"What is it?" Dawn whispered wondering.
"Don't you wanna see what's gonna happen with the two of them?"
"Um. I don't think we can stay much longer and see, besides, they need their privacy.." Dawn said and sighed. "Anyhow, what are you suggesting?"
Brock didn't answer, instead, he pulled out his cellphone from his pocket and flashed it for Dawn.
"And what are you going to do with that?" Dawn asked quietly.
"It has a camera." Brock said and smirked.
Dawn didn't understand what Brock meant, but after a few seconds she did, and man, she had a wide smile.
It had already gone five minutes, Brock and Dawn had been trying to put Brock's cellphone in a place where it could get a clear shot of the room but still not be too easy to spot. They had found the 'perfect' spot, they had put it under one of the balcony chairs; the balcony chairs had some strange design, so it was a whole right on its legs, making the cellphone able to see the whole room, except for the bathroom.
"Alright.." Brock said, starting the recording. "Let's hope that something interesting happens before the battery dies."
Dawn giggled, and soon enough, both of them had left the room, locking it before they left. Dawn had unfortunately slammed the door a little bit too hard, making the brunette coordinator wake up by the slam. She yawned and sighed when she saw Ash lying in the same bed with her, she assumed that she was still dreaming, but she liked it.
"Hi 'Dream-Ash'.." she said, watching the raven haired boy right in front of her, in her 'dream'. "Thanks for letting me dream about you."
She didn't get any answer, though the boy was half-asleep, he didn't hear what the girl had just said. The 14 year old coordinator sighed, and leaned forward with her head towards the boy, kissing him. She kissed him, very roughly, licking the top and the bottom of the boy's lips, wishing that she would experience something like that in reality. She leaned back again, watching the boy of her dreams.
"Mm.. Yummy.." the boy said and yawned.
The girl giggled once before going of the sleep once more, now going to dreamland for real. She never noticed that little Pikachu lying by the end of the bed that had seen everything.
