As soon as the mist disappears, I am there for a few minutes to process everything that I have heard. It's all so shocking and surprising mostly because I wasn't expecting to hear all this. What I wanted to hear is that I'm supposed to be a normal teenager and have a normal life working and earning money, but I guess that was too much to ask. So, I open my eyes after I am done thinking about everything and I see Pikachu standing in front of me. Pikachu is looking at me with worry, and seeing that he is worried I get anxious as well. I think about what the mist said, but then I think of the possibility of me and Pikachu getting hurt. What hurts me the most is the thought of my best friend getting hurt, and so this bothers me so much that I break into tears again. Pikachu looks away as he sees the tears falling from my eyes, and then he hugs me tightly. I hug him back and then he speaks.
"Oshawott, what is going on? What did you see or hear?" I sob into his shoulder for a few minutes and then I tell myself to get it together and speak to him. I know that he is eager to find out what I saw and heard so I decide to tell him. When I tell him this, his face remains the same. It's hard for me to tell what his face is showing because it looks completely emotionless but in his eyes, I can see fear and anxiety. His eyes show me everything, and once I'm done speaking he is silent for a few moments. Then I break the silence.
"So what do you think of what I just told you?" He looks away and then hugs me tightly again. I feel my breath leaving my body as the hug envelops me, but I feel great hugging my best friend.
"I'm worried about how we're going to do this. I understand that the mist is a part of your conscience and that it doesn't have all the answers. The problem is, how are we going to find the answers to this problem?" Pikachu looks at me with worry and I look back with fear in my face and eyes.
"Yeah, I don't know. I need to figure that out. First, I think we should go back to the pizzeria and tell Mike. Is that a good idea?" Pikachu smiles and nods his head. I smile being happy to see him smile and then I say, "Let's go."
