Chapter 15: Natalie
I woke up, laying in the grass. Rayquaza was nearby, looking at me. There was a broken machiene on the ground in front of Rayquaza, colored to match the pattern on it's body.
"Is this..?" I asked, examining the device. "Is this a shock collar?"
Rayquaza continued to watch me.
"Where are we?"
"You are alright?" A voice asked. I turned around. "I saw you fall from the sky. This pokemon caught you before you fell. I brought you here, where you would be safe."
"Who are you?" I asked.
"I am Natalie, I am the graddaughter of the rest stop woman, who lives near Lavarige Town."
"Wait... Isn't there supposed to be an evacuation?" I asked.
"Yes, but I chose not to go." She said. "I... I want to help against these guys."
Suddenly, some small pokemon began to appear around me. I heard a beeping sound. I reached into my bag and pulled out my Pokedex. I hadn't looked at it for nearly two months, since I first went to the Battle Frontier. I looked at the screen, and saw registries for every single pokemon that I hadn't found so far.
"What?" I asked, shocked. I had never seen so many pokemon in one place before.
"They want to help. This is their home too. And the legendaries are being used against their will." She said. She picked up the shock collar. "It took a bunch of the pokemon working together, but they pulled this off of Rayquaza."
Suddenly, the ground began to shake. A huge roar came from far off.
"We need to go. Now." I said.
"Alright."
We ran back to the rest stop building, and she opened a hatch. A celler.
"In here."
I dove inside, and dozens of pokemon followed me inside, too.
When we were all inside, Natalie sat down right next to me.
"We might be here a while." She said. "Why dont we get to know each other?"
She was suddenly extremely shy. She looked away, catching tiny glimpses of me.
"Do you have a girlfriend?" She asked.
"What?" I asked, startled, then I realized what she had asked. "No, I don't."
"Oh," She said, rubbing her arm, and looking away. "Sorry, I'm not usually like this. It's just... Your'e really cute, and I..."
"Oh," I said. It got really awkward. I was unsure what to say.
She scooted a little closer to me, and rested her hand on mine.
"Is it ok if I get us a blanket? It's really cold."
"No problem." I said. Now she was making me feel shy!
She got up and walked over to a large cabinet, and had to shift a Poochyena out of the way to open it. The Poochyena looked like it was still a pup, and it hopped around playfully. She pulled out a large blanket out of the cabinet, as well as a small rubber chew toy. She shook the toy at the small pokemon, and it yipped excitedly, and it's mother looked up. Natalie tossed the toy for Poochyena, who ran after it and began to shake it around excitedly.
"Grandma has a lot of guests, and they normally have pokemon with them. It's great fun to play with them." She said with a laugh.
I smiled. "It must be nice, getting to meet so many pokemon."
"Yeah." She smiled. She draped the blanket over us, and snuggled close to me. "What do you do?"
"Me?" I asked. She nodded. "Well, I am the son of the Champion."
"No way!" She laughed.
"Yeah. And that means that Professor Birch is my grandpa. My dad is an amazing battler, but he prefers contests." I said. "His dad, my papa, is a gym leader."
"Wow. You must really like battles then."
"Yeah. I got all the badges, and was going to take on the Pokemon League, but I lost to my mom, the Champion." I said. "Then, this guy, Scott, came to me after I finished healing my pokemon, and asked me to meet him at the Slateport Docks, and bring some bags for a trip, because he wanted me to try out the Battle Frontier. I was at the Frontier, having a battle with Red when this all began."
"You battled Red?" She asked, sitting up. "He's the best trainer ever!"
"Yeah. But my team was more determined. We almost won, when our Charizards were both kidnapped." I sighed.
"Thats terrible." She wispered, and then she did something that clearly shocked both of us, and brushed away a tear I didn't even know I had shed. She looked away, embarrased. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to-"
That was when I kissed her. At first, it was a gentle kiss, but then she threw her arms around me, and kissed me even more fiercely, and I embraced her back. Finally, we needed to breathe.
She looked away, her cheeks bright red.
"It's okay." I said with a smile, which she returned, and hugged me, and I hugged her back.
"Wow, I've never felt so safe with anyone before." She said.
"Have you ever had a boyfriend?" I asked. She shook her head. "That might be why."
"Does this mean..." She asked.
"I guess it does." I said.
She lay down next to me, and I lay down as well. Small pokemon all began to come to us, and snuggled in close for warmth. I held Natalie close, and we both slowly began to fall asleep.
