"I'm going to try and comfort master okay? I'm sure he needs it right now." Amy said.
"Yeah, probably a good idea." Replied Eelektross.
"Hey, Eelektross, how about you and I make breakfast for him? That should help."
Eelektross nodded, "Hmm, good idea."
"How about eggs and toast?" Replied Nidoking.
"Sounds good to me." Said Eelektross.
I was laying on the couch when I felt a small paw touch my leg. "Amy..." I said her name softly. I continued to face the inside of the couch with my eyes closed. I had a miserable dream, and on top of that, I felt bad for waking Amy up the way I did. I just felt like shit. I felt her cuddle up next to my head and I slowly looked up. Amy was looking directly into my eyes. I could see the deeply concerned look in those beautiful, ruby eyes of hers. She could probably see the same look in my eyes, except the fact that I was feeling a lot worse.
Amy tilted her head a little and frowned, "Fen!"
"I'll be okay, I promise. I'm hungry though. I'll go make myself some f—"
I was about to get up, then I saw Nidoking and Eelektross run out of my room and into the kitchen. "Nido, Nidoking!" "Tross!"
I sat upwards and looked over at them, "Uhh.. guys? What's the hurry?"
"Nido!" Nidoking grabbed a bowl, then opened the fridge and pulled the eggs out and held it up to show me what he was doing, then broke a few into the bowl.
"Oh, you two are going to make breakfast for us?" Eelektross nodded his head and smiled, "Tross!"
"Well thank you guys. I appreciate that."
After eating breakfast, I went to my room to play video games for an hour. I wanted to clear my head from that terrible dream.
"Hey guys, do you think Silver will be okay?" Amy asked.
"I sure hope so..." "Me too..." They both replied.
"Maybe you should check on him?" Nidoking said.
"Yeah, I was just about to. Okay lemme check on him." Amy walked up to Silver's door and slowly opened it, and saw him sitting in his chair, playing games on his PC. Amy walked back to the two, "Well, he seems okay to me. He's just relaxing playing his games."
"Alright, well that's not bad I guess." Nidoking said.
"Yeah, maybe he's just clearing his mind for a bit." Eelektross speculated.
There was a moment of silence, then Nidoking spoke up, "You know... I wish we could tell him how we feel about him. I wish we could say 'I love you' and 'we'll always be here for you', and he understand us. I know actions can be just as strong as words, but sometimes I think about how I wish I could talk to him, you know? We can understand him, but he can't understand us. Ughh, oh Arceus, if only he could understand us."
"Hmm.. I've never thought about that, but now that you bring it up, that would be nice." Replied Eelektross.
"Hmm, yeah. Me too. There's a lot I want to say to him. I'm sure there's a lot we want to tell him." Amy said.
"Definitely. Ahh, oh well. We can always still show him our gratitude." Nidoking said. "Yeah, you aren't wrong." Eelektross replied.
Ahh, im getting bored already. I turn off my computer and am ready to walk out of my room when I begin to think, I wonder how worried my Pokemon are about me. I hope I'm not making them worry too much, I'll feel bad... I wonder what they would be saying to me if I could understand them... Well, guess I'll never know. Oh Arceus, I wish I could understand them. They're the best friends I have, and their always there for me. I've gone through so much... Well at least they show me they care for me, and that's good enough. They made food for me again too. I'm so thankful for having them.
I got up and went to the family room and was about to sit down on the couch, when suddenly Amy, Nidoking and Eelektross came running up to me and gave me a big hug. "Aww... you guys are so sweet. Thank you. It means a lot to me..." Tears started to swell up in my eyes. I tried to refrain from crying and just sat down and let out a deep sigh. "Alright, I'm gonna take a shower, then head to the store to get a few things, okay guys?" They all nodded.
After I got out of the shower, I bought a few things at the store, then came home. My Pokemon were happy to see me as usual. I sat down on the couch and turned the TV on.
"Hey guys, come sit down, let's watch a movie."
They came over and sat down next to me. I flipped the channels until I found a movie to watch. About 20 minutes in, I started to get drowsy and started to occasionally close my eyes, nodding off. I leaned my head on Nidoking's shoulder and after another 5 minutes, I fell asleep.
"Psst... guys... Silver fell asleep on my shoulder." Amy and Eelektross turn their heads. "Haha aww. Leave him be. Maybe he'll wake up in a bit. If not, just move him slowly." Eelektross replied.
"Silver... Silver. I see you have suffered a great loss, and are deeply grieving, so I will show you my kindness. When you wake up, you will discover something different. Use it to create a stronger bond with your Pokemon. Now, awake..."
I slowly opened my eyes. That was a strange dream. What in the world was that...?
My pokemon were still in the same spots they were in before I fell asleep, except they were the ones asleep this time. I slowly got up and went to my room, then sat down at my desk and turned my computer on. I turned around and got up to check on my Pokemon, then stood there for a few moments and let out a long sigh when Amy walked in.
"Hello master, are you okay?" Oh, yeah. He can't understand me. Oh well...
"Yeah, I'm fi—"
I paused, then stared at her with a dumbfounded look on my face.
"Master?"Amy looked at me with the same expression.
Wait, did I just understand her? No way, maybe my depression is getting to me or something. But... the dream I had. The voice said I will discover something different. Is this really happening?
"Uh, master? Did you just... understand what I said?"
"Uh... Yeah. I guess so. Oh my Arceus. I can't believe this is happening. I couldn't understand you just a few minutes ago, but then I woke up, and now I can. I had this strange dream, and this voice told me that when I wake up I will discover something different. Well... I guess it was right."
"Wow. That is weird... I wanna tell the others!" Amy was about to run out, when I stopped her. "Amy wait."
"Huh?"
"Why not surprise them the way I surprised you? I feel like I should. I'm curious what their reactions will be."
"Well... alright then. Fair enough."
"I'll wait until they wake up on their own, then wait for the opportunity. Don't make it obvious though, okay? Don't tell them to ask me anything, got it?"
"Okay I won't, I promise."
I walked out of my room and went to the kitchen to make food for Nidoking and Eelektross for when they woke up. A few minutes after I made the food, they woke up and yawned. I walked up to them, "wakey wakey! I made you two some food, here you go."
"Thank you master." They both said.
I smile at them, "You're welcome."
Nidoking and Eelektross turned their heads and stared at each other, then looked back at me. "Huhhh? Waaaiiit." They both said slowly.
"What's wrong guys?"
"Uhh..." They paused for a few seconds. "Maybe we're just imagining things, nevermind."
I started walking back to my room, then replied, "Yeah, you probably are imagining things." I then looked back at them and smirked.
Nidoking's and Eelektross's eyes widened, "WHAAATT!"
"Haha, pretty crazy huh? I had you two fooled for a while there!"
Yeah, I was wondering why you replied like that, but I just brushed it off at first." Replied Nidoking.
"When could you understand us, master?" Nidoking asked.
"You can call me Silver by the way, its fine. And, well, I was just able to today, right after I woke up about 20 minutes ago. I first noticed it when I heard Amy speak to me. I had some weird dream and... now I can understand you."
I sat down and let out a sigh, "Ahhhh... Well... one crazy thing after another, huh guys? So much is going on here ah."
Amy jumped up onto my lap, "It's okay Silver. We're here to support you."
"Yeah!" Nidoking and Eelektross both replied.
"Good, I'm glad. Oh, you know..." All three of them looked at me. "Hm?"
"Before I fell asleep and had that dream, and was able to understand you guys, I actually was thinking about what you would all say to me if I could understand you. I wondered what you'd tell me, considering my situation and all. I know I've probably made you guys worry so much with the way I've been acting..."
Amy looked at me, "Silver, it's okay. Yes, we were worried about you, but that's not a bad thing. And you know what, we were actually talking about the same thing while you were at the store. We thought about what we would tell you if you could understand us, and, well, now that you can, how about we tell him what we wanted to, guys?" Amy said, as she looked over at Nidoking and Eelektross.
"Sure thing. I know what I wanted to say." Replied Nidoking.
"Me too, I'm ready." Exclaimed Eelektross.
Amy started first. "Alright. Well, Silver. I just wanted to say that I am and will be forever thankful for what you did for me a few days ago. I'm glad you were there to save me. If you didn't... I might not be here. And also... I know I've only known you for a few days now, but I love you Silver. Thank you for taking care of me. I will always be with you, no matter what." Amy jumped into my arms and hugged me.
"Aww Amy... You're very welcome. I love you too." I replied.
"I'll go next." Said Nidoking. Thank you for raising me Silver. You and your parents taught me a lot, I've had such a great time being here, and I will continue to cherish being with you. I love you Silver." Nidoking gave me a big hug and squeezed me.
"Thank you Nidoking. I love you too."
I look over at Eelektross. "Alright Eelektross."
"Silver, thank you for raising me as well. Thank you for everything you taught me and everything we've done as a family. I loved the trips we would all go on and the fun times we've had together, and I can't wait to see what happens next with the three of us. And who knows, maybe you will bring more along with us, then we can have more friends! I love you Silver, thank you."
"I love you too..." My eyes started to swell up with tears and I just couldn't hold them in any longer. I started crying and hugged my Pokemon tightly. "Ahhh... Thank you guys so much. I love you guys. You mean the world to me, really. I don't know how I would be able to keep going on without you guys with me."
"Well, we're not going anywhere, so don't worry, okay?" Said Nidoking, calming me down.
"Whew... I'm gonna go outside for a few minutes to clear my mind, need some fresh air."
When I came back after a few minutes, my Pokemon were still sitting on the couch, but they were laying against each other, all cuddled up.
"Hey guys I'm gonna be in my room for a bit." I turned my computer on and started to play some games for a few minutes, then Amy walked in.
"Hey Silver, whatcha up to?"
"Oh, you know, just playin' some games."
"You love doing that, huh? I don't see what's so fun about staring at that screen for so long."
"Psh, its more than just staring at a screen Amy haha." I love video games, they're so intriguing and fun. Opens me up to a new world of creativity."
"Well, if you say so." "You know, if you watch me, maybe you'll understand what I mean."
"Hmm alrighty, why not then."
I started one of my games up, and she was surprised, "Oohhh that's pretty!"
"Yeah, it's neat, isn't it? Currently, I'm trying to cut down some trees so I have wood to make a few things, like tools. Then I can start making a boat. It takes a while in this game though. Oh, and it's called Wurm."
"Well, now I know what you're actually doing when you're over here."
I continued playing for an hour, when I started to nod off again. Amy noticed my head was down and I wasn't moving for a few seconds.
"Silver?"
I jerked my head up, "Huh?"
"Are you tired? Maybe you should lay down?"
"Yeah. You're right, I should. I didn't get enough sleep last night because of my nightmare."
I turned my computer off, then sat on my bed. "Are you gonna stay in here with me, or go out there with Nidoking and Eelektross?"
"Is it okay if I stay in here with you, Silver?"
"Of course it is Amy."
I lied down on my bed and started to stare at the ceiling for a few moments.
"Is everything okay Silver? I heard the other two tell me that you lost your parents... I hope you're okay."
"Yeah I'm trying my best. At least I still have you guys though. It would be a lot tougher trying to go through all of this without you guys here with me. I'd probably distance myself from everyone haha... Thank you."
"Anytime Silver. I'm glad we're here to comfort you." Amy snuggled up against me and I closed my eyes.
I think things are actually getting better. Let's hope and see.
