It's a me, Mari... Wait, wrong text.
*ahem*
Hello everybody! Another chapter of Life as a Pikachu. As usual, thanks to Pichufan for beta-reading.
What happens in this part is kind of... Sad... But... Well, go read it. You'll understand.
Please leave your thoughts about the story in the review section!
NOTE: Sorry if you recieved a double update, my bad.
I didn't know how long I was asleep on that pillow on the counter of the pokécenter, but it was still night when Nurse Joy woke me up. Grumpy and tired I looked at her when she lifted me and brought me over to a treatment room. There she looked at my wounds.
"Gosh, you also have that plastic in your fur, just like your mate." she said. I sighed and nodded in pain. As soon I realised that there was plastic in my skin, it started to irritate again. It itched badly and it stung into my belly.
"Let's get rid of that first." she said as she got some equipment. "It really seems to bug you."
She got the plastic out of my fur. This took quite some time because there was a lot of the stuff in my skin. She had to take care of every wound that it caused. Every time she removed it, it hurt me. I whined in pain when she removed another piece. When most of the plastic was removed, blood would seep out of the wounds. Just a bit, but it was annoying. Nurse Joy cleaned me from all the blood and then focused on my leg. She checked my leg with some white thing… Oh right… She checked my chip.
"Good, you're chipped. We'll track your owner in no-time." she said. I shook my head violently when she said that.
"What? You don't want to go back?" she asked on a stern tone. "They might be worried sick about you and her." she said.
"No, they aren't." I said while shaking my head.
"You have the same owner, you know that?" she said. I nodded yes.
"And you don't want to go back?" she said. I shook my head violently again.
"Hmmm… Did he treat you well? Did you run away?" she said. I sighed and shook my head again.
"No, she didn't." I said as I looked down. "And I just want to be back to human."
"Oh, no worries. I'll see what I can do for you. We sometimes receive pokémon that ran away, and they usually end up pretty well. So no worries, OK?" she said. I nodded before she forced me to sit down. Then she checked my leg again. The bite from the raticate had caused a bad looking fleshwound. She looked at it.
"That doesn't look too bad." Nurse Joy said. "But you'll have to stay for a couple of days with that."
A couple of days? That was fine with me. Maybe I could convince her to get Oak here. After Nurse Joy cleaned my wound she carried me over to a tub and cleaned me. Being washed and groomed actually was really enjoyable. Too bad I was too tired to really enjoy it. She then placed me on the counter, dried me and got a hair dryer to dry my fur as well (a towel didn't dry me entirely) before she bandaged my leg and brought me to a room where Nikki was. Nikki was in a bed, asleep safe and sound. Nurse Joy put me inside another bed, the one next to her. There were four bunk beds, in each corner one. Nikki was on the one close to the door. I jumped from my bed, jumped in her bed and quickly dove under the blankets with her. I snuggled myself next to the female. My pikachu mind was telling me to. I didn't know why, I just needed to sleep next to her tonight.
"You wanna sleep with her?" Nurse Joy whispered. "Well, that's fine with me. Good night." she said as she ruffled through my fur, headed out and closed the door.
I looked at Nikki. I had to protect her. She also had been a human, even though she had forgot she was one. Maybe it wasn't too late… Maybe she still could return to her human state. I hoped for the best. I had to get a plan to get to Oak… I needed to get to anyone that could proof I was Maurice and not an ordinary pikachu. Someone that I knew pretty well and that wasn't too far away… Pallet was not that far from Viridian. We probably had to sleep in the forest for a night, but it wasn't that far. Then I suddenly remembered something. My parents lived in Viridian! Wondering how I could possibly forget that my heart beat frantically. I would visit my parents first. Hopefully I could make them clear that… That it was me… That it was their own son standing before them… But that was something I could think about later. For now, I was tired and I wanted to sleep… And with these thoughts, I fell asleep pretty quickly, next to Nikki.
I don't know how late it was the next morning when I woke up. I opened my eyes and felt Nikki next to me. I checked my surroundings and immediately could tell it was safe inside the pokémon center. Just as I expected. I stretched myself and shook myself. This made me feel more awake than before, as if I shook all the sleepiness away. I got from under the blankets and stood on the pillow where Nikki was on. I sniffed her and checked her. I pushed her with my nose gently. She didn't respond to me straight away, so I pushed her gently again. She stirred and groaned a bit. Then she opened her eyes and looked at me with a sleepy face.
"M… Mau… Maurice…?" she stuttered before she also stretched before groaning a bit and laying down.
"Nikki!" I said as I tried to prevent her from laying down. She shook her head and got down on the bed.
"What… What happened? And where are we?" she said. "The last thing I remember is that we were in the car and that it tipped over… And I remember something strange… Something… That said weird things to me…" she said.
"We… We had a car crash." I said. "We were thrown from the car because it crashed and the car burned to the ground. Luckily our cage also broke and we were thrown away from the car. You didn't move and you were unconscious, so I pulled you away from it." I said.
"Fire? Explosion?" she said, scared by the words. "What about Faia?"
"Faia didn't make it out on time…" I replied, looking away from her.
"But… Did… Did she… Die?" she asked.
"Yes." I said. "She couldn't get out on time. I think she was also unconscious."
Nikki sighed.
"She looked nice to me…" she said as she got up, didn't stretch and walked a couple of steps before she looked around.
"We are at the Viridian Pokémon Center." I said.
"Pokémon Center?" she replied, pulling a questionable face.
"A place where injured pokémon can heal." I said. "Nurse Joy helped you. She runs the center."
"OK…" she said. "But how could the car…" she said as she shook her head and closed her eyes. "It's so confusing and it sounds scary!"
Ssshhhhh, don't panic…" I said as I got close to her and rubbed my cheek against hers. She looked at me and sighed again.
"I didn't get you here to panic. I got you here so you could get healed." I chuckled.
"But… Where is the car then?" she replied.
"It's gone. It burned." I said.
"But… We were going to… Somewhere…" she said.
"Not anymore." I replied, smiling at her.
"But… What are we going to do then…?" she said.
"Uhm…" I said as I looked upwards. "I don't know yet, but we're not going to Team Rocket at least."
"Team Rocket?" she replied.
"Faia was part of an evil organisation called Team Rocket. They use pokémon for their evil plans, they abuse them for their own good. We were two experiments, two experiments to see if humans could be changed into pikachu." I said.
"Silly, you keep saying that." Nikki chuckled. "You're a pikachu, not a human." she said as she nuzzled my nose with hers.
"By the way, how far did you go to get here? I guess it's was dark when I was asleep, so it must have been quite far." she chuckled.
"Well… I dragged you across the forest and then I dragged you across the city for a while and then we were here…" I said as I thought about it.
"And I remember something with a raticate." she said. I looked at her with a surprising stare.
"You know? But how do you know?!" I asked.
"Well, I was waking up and I felt really crazy, like I was sleeping on that floor back at that thing we came from with the car, and then I remember being hit by something and I heard you shouting something. And I remember seeing a raticate walking up to me before I fainted…" she said. "It really hurt…"
"I didn't know you were awake then…" I said.
"Barely." she said. "But what happened?"
I explained Nikki from start to finish what exactly happened. That I met some other pikachu and that I dragged her towards their colony with them. That I took her towards the pokémon center and that I got into a fight with a raticate and his rattata. And also that they hit me. I showed her my leg, which was bandaged.
"And that's about it…" I said as I looked at her. She looked back at me.
"Well… Thanks…" she said as she smiled and all of a sudden hugged me.
"Thanks for saving me, could have died back there." she said as she broke the hug and smiled and purred at me. "You know, I think you and I could be good mates…" she said as she rubbed her cheek against mine and grabbed both my paws in hers. I was a bit surprised by this sudden turn of events. Inside me, everything was shouting to accept this once in a lifetime offer. My pikachu side must have almost exploded, but my human side told me not to do it. Not until later. If I would be stuck as pikachu forever, I could always consider it.
"Well… Uhm… Thanks… I think…" I said nervously as I blushed heavily. "Maybe… Maybe later, I'll think about it. But… But first… First I wanna get back to my family…" I said. Nikki looked at me with questionable face.
"Family? We could have one." she purred. I blushed even harder, trying to find an excuse not to mate with her, because it was more than clear what she wanted.
"Not yet." I said firmly, smiling at Nikki after I had a strong interference with my human side (my pikachu side was quite mad, but it accepted my human side for now).
"Alright then!" Nikki said, also smiling and purring. "Let's find your family then."
"I'd like to go and search them right now, but we're in a pokémon center and as far as I know I still can't walk normally." I said as I showed her my leg. "And you aren't completely healed either. You also have bandages on your belly." I said. Nikki looked at the bandages on her belly and sighed.
"They itch really bad. I wished I could get them off…" she said as she used her paws to pull the things away. But her paws were too short and she changed to her feet. She scratched with her feet and started to get the bandages off.
"No, stop! Stop!" I said as I stopped her.
"Why? It itches badly…" she replied, continuing what she was doing.
"If you get them off, you'll get new ones that will have to be on there even longer!" I said. Nikki still didn't stop.
"Nikki, quit it!" I said as I stopped her feet.
"Why? It itches!" she said.
"Yes, but if you…" I said. I sighed. "Never mind, but please stop doing it, you're only making things worse." I said.
"Oh… Well, alright then, if you say so, sweetie…" she said.
Great. Now she had a crush on me.
Nikki and I recovered very fast. Nurse Joy care did help a lot. After Nikki and I recovered for two more days, we were able to leave the pokémon center, if not Nurse Joy had checked us in her computer.
"What's this…" she said as she received a warning from the system.
"Former Team Rocket owner?" she said. "It appears that your former trainer, Faia, was a member of Team Rocket." she said to us. "And… One more thing… Faia has died in a car crash…" she said as she looked at us, expecting us to be sad. I looked back at her with an expression that said I didn't really care about it. Nurse Joy gave me a glance before she returned to her computer.
"And that also means that you guys have to be reported to the police… I can't allow you to leave until officer Jenny has seen you." she said as she looked up the number of Jenny on her computer before dialing something on the video phone. Hoping that I could tell her that I was Maurice, I decided to wait for things to come. I had already tried to tell Joy that I was a human - that I was THE Maurice that had worked here. Joy hadn't understood anything of it. It was frustrating as hell. Nikki had watched me with interest when I was trying to make the human understand that I also was a human once.
"Why are you trying to tell people you're human?" Nikki had said. I had explained her that I was changed into a human and that she had been a human as well, but Nikki wouldn't take that. She just couldn't believe that she was a human once. It actually scared her a bit.
"Hello Jenny, I've got two positive matches from our system." I suddenly heard. Joy had Jenny were talking to each other by phone.
"I have two pikachu here that are former Team Rocket pikachu, according to the system. Their trainer died, apparently."
"Who was their trainer?" she said.
"Her name was Faia. There is no second name in the system." Joy said.
"Then I know who that was." Jenny said. "Horrible car crash. There was nothing we could do…" she said as she sighed. "I think these pikachu are member of the group we found earlier. These are currently at the shelter near our police station. I'll come and check on them. Do you have time today?" she said.
"Well, if you come now we could handle things immediately." Nurse Joy said.
"Alright, I'll see you in a couple of minutes." she said. Indeed a couple of minutes later Jenny was standing at the counter. Nurse Joy had locked us in a cage for the time being, to make sure we couldn't escape. Team Rocket pokémon tend to escape when others know they're part of the organisation to ensure they don't leak useful information towards the police.
"Yes, definitely. These are part of the same group." she said as she entered the room and watched us.
"Officer Jenny! It's me, Maurice!" I said. Officer Jenny ignored me.
"We already found a cage containing pikachu fur next to the van that crashed. It was broken and empty, we suspected these pikachu were moved to another location. We don't know why…"
"Have you found Maurice already?" Nurse Joy asked. Perfect. I waved my arms and pointed at myself.
"I am Maurice! I'm a human! You know me!" I said, almost shouting.
"What's the matter little guy?" Jenny said as she kneeled in front of our cage and looked me straight into the eyes. Quite scary, Jenny's glance pierced straight through everything.
"I'm Maurice!" I said as I slammed the cage door back and forth. "Why does nobody understand me! I'm not a pikachu, I'm a human and you're looking for someone that doesn't exist!" I shouted, knowing that this message wouldn't reach its destination. Even talking to the Chansey didn't work - they all thought I was crazy by now.
"Hey there, calm down you." Jenny said, not even pulling away at my aggression. I stopped and watched her with questionable face.
"We haven't found Maurice yet, but I'm confident that…" she said - not to me, but in general - before I interrupted her.
"I - AM - MAURICE!" I shouted again. "You already found me!"
"Hey, keep it down a bit, will you!" Nurse Joy said. "I don't like shouting pokémon. Please calm down a bit." she repeated as she soothed me a bit. She opened the cage for us.
"I think I can release them?" she said.
"Yes, they don't do harm." Jenny said. "Can you transfer them to the police shelter? We want to do some investigation on them before we're gonna put them up for adoption."
"Yes, I'll make sure these end up at the police." Joy said. "But did you find Maurice?"
"Well, we…" she said before I interrupted her again.
"That's me." I said. I could hear the words leave my mouth as "pika". Perfect. From now on I would say something or raise my paw as soon I heard my name. Maybe they would notice it… I was out of options. Nothing helped. I didn't have any other thing to communicate than my voice right now. Maybe later I could show her by different means… And if she didn't want to listen I would flee to Oak or my parents…
Jenny looked at me with an annoying glance.
"...we haven't found Maurice…"
"Pika."
"...yet but we are positive that we will find him. Team Rocket probably moved him towards another facility. We don't know which one, but his phone led us straight towards this facility and I'm sure Maurice…" - pika - "...is somewhere out there."
"If you only knew…" I thought.
"But do you have any clues?" Joy asked.
"Yes. We arrested everybody we could find inside there, and we're still busy interviewing everyone and finding out what they did. There worked over a thousand people in there. We also got our hands on some computers. These are all locked, of course, but we're busy trying to get through them. Maybe we can find data on there that will lead us towards other places of Team Rocket. We also found some maps that could lead us to some other Team Rocket buildings."
"I hope you find him soon…" Joy said.
"I do too. But he's been gone for over two weeks now and chances of us finding him are getting smaller and smaller…" Jenny said.
"If the interviews, the search and all the investigation lead to nothing… What am I supposed to do? I don't know where to look next…" she said.
"I am Maurice…!" I said again, this time more calm and more emotional. Nurse Joy saw this.
"Oh, come on, don't cry. You're out of the hands of Team Rocket now. If you healed up we'll find you a nice family or trainer that will take care of you." she smiled.
"Well, I'd be going." Jenny said. "I'll be expecting that you send them towards us." she smiled as we all went back towards the pokécenter main hall.
"Of course!" Joy smiled. "Good luck on the investigation."
"Thanks, I'll need it." Jenny said. And with that she left the building. Well, that was the biggest success ever… I managed to tell nothing and do nothing. My last hope faded a bit… I felt like some kind of stranger. Nobody understood me, the pokémon from the pokécenter thought I was crazy (chansy weren't that nice as you might think as human) and Nikki also doubted me.
"It's… I need to tell them somehow…!" I thought. "But how…"
Another day went by while I was figuring out things and ways to tell people I was actually the Maurice they were looking for. But the fact that I was a pikachu played on me. The pikachu mind took control more often and didn't want me to think about possible ways to get back to my human self. This made everything harder for me. It made thinking clearly harder as well.
One day later, we would be moved to the police station. I didn't know how it would happen, but since we were still assigned to our former owner we couldn't be trapped into pokéballs. This to my happiness, because I was afraid that putting me inside a pokéball would make the changes to my body permanent.
There was a female trainer that came and collected us. We weren't caged this time. Since I was a 'perfect pokémon', or rather a pokémon that didn't cause trouble even though I was believed to be feral, I didn't need to travel in a cage but on the shoulder of a trainer. Lucky me. Nikki could travel on the shoulder of the trainer as well. I already explained Nikki some basics and I explained her that I would try to escape during our move. She first didn't want to join me, but when she realised she would be at the police station without me she quickly changed her mind.
To make a long story short, we managed to escape by both thundershocking the trainer and run for our lives. We ran into the city and stopped somewhere in a park, hiding under some bushes.
"Alright, and what are we gonna do now?" Nikki said to me.
"We're gonna visit my home." I said.
"Your home? Is that something like a nest?" she asked.
"Yes, my parents live here somewhere." I said, looking around to see where I was. I got my location and we headed for my home. My house. My human house. After walking a couple of blocks we arrived at my home. I was almost saved!
"This is your nest?" Nikki asked when I stopped and watched the house.
"Yes, this is the place where I live." I replied before I got towards the door. I never felt so nervous in my entire life. How would they respond to me? I looked at the door and realised I couldn't reach the doorbell. Well, I probably could… I ducked and got ready to jump towards it. I jumped towards the doorbell and tried to press the button, but it failed. I tried again and another time, but both times failed.
"What are you trying to do?" Nikki asked me.
"I'm trying to ring the doorbell, so people know I'm here." I said.
"Doorbell?" she said with a questionable face when we both jumped when the door suddenly opened. There stood a man in the door opening. My dad.
"DAD!" I said happily. "It's me!"
"Dad? This is your dad?" Nikki asked when my dad looked down at us.
"What's this…?" he said. "What are you doing here?"
"Dad, it's me! Maurice!" I said while I stood before him with my paws out to cuddle with him.
"I don't know what you want, but I don't have time for you." he said. "If you want to play, go to the park and find yourself some children or something, they'll surely want to play with you." he said.
"Wh… What?" I replied.
"No, pulling a sad face won't help, I also don't have food for you." he said, his voice getting annoyed.
"But I'm your son! You're looking for me, I know!" I said.
"I don't have time for you, just… Just go away." he said before he closed the door in front of my nose.
"Are you sure this is your nest…?" Nikki asked after an awkward silence.
"Yes, this is my nest!" I said. "That… That was my dad…"
"Well, it didn't look like your dad…" Nikki said with a questionable face.
"BUT IT WAS MY DAD!" I said as I started to scribble against our front door.
"As soon they open the door you dash inside, got it?" I said. Nikki looked at me with a scared face, but she nodded. I kept scratching the door until it opened again.
"Why are you still… HEY!" my dad said as we both darted inside past his legs. He closed the door quickly and ran behind us.
"Get out! I don't have time for you right now!" he shouted as we ran across the hall and entered the living room. My mother was sitting on the couch and she looked at us entering the room and my father running in behind.
"What are they doing here…?" she said at my dad.
"They were at the door the first time and after I send them away they kept scratching the door…" my dad said as I jumped a chair in the room, waving my paws.
"I'm Maurice!" I said before I jumped away again, because my dad was trying to grab me. Nikki was hidden beneath the couch.
"Dad! It's me!" I shouted before I outran him and hid myself behind the same couch. He stopped his running and sighed.
"Please, don't chase them… I don't want you chase them around the living room… Lure them with some food or something…" my mom said on a sad tone.
"Please… Don't get upset…" he started.
"Yes I am getting upset! All this wouldn't have happened if he didn't join that stupid colony of pikachu! And these pikachu remind me of that. The police has still no clue where he is and I worried sick." she said, getting all emotional. "I wish I had never allowed it. Those pikachu destroyed him. He was almost like feral! Like a wild pokémon! I should have got him out of there when I got the chance. But I didn't." she said, burying her head in her hands. My dad sat next to her and patted her back and hugged her. She accepted it and cried. It broke something in me. Seeing my mother cry about me made me emotional as well, but I had to tell them I WAS their son! I got from under the couch slowly. My dad and mom looked at me.
"You happy now?" dad said, his voice also weak.
"Dad, please listen…!" I said. I knew he wouldn't understand. I looked around and saw a photo of myself. Bingo, that could be it! I jumped the table with my photo on it and looked at it.
"Hey, get down from there!" my mom said as she got up.
"Don't destroy the photo of my son!" she said as she came closer. I raised my paw to stop her.
"Wait!" I said as I turned around and stood next to the photo. My mother came closer, she didn't listen. I had to stop her. I growled fiercely and sparked my cheeks while I got into fighters stance. My mother stopped and my father got up quickly. Within the blink of an eye, he stood next to her.
"Don't you dare to attack us!" he said while looking at me with a death glare as he reached over to me to grab me. Me, scared of this move, jumped out of the way and pushed my own picture away with my jump. The picture and the holder fell down to the ground. The sound of breaking glass went through the room. My mom looked at the broken picture and then at me. She closed her eyes. I could see she was mad with me. My dad was mad as well. My mom grabbed the picture from the ground as I watched her. My dad looked at me and gave me an angry glare.
"Dad, it's me…!" I said as I pointed at the picture and then at myself. "I am your son, Team Rocket changed me into a pikachu!"
My mom and dad looked at me.
"I'll get the broom. I'm gonna sweep them out of the house." my dad said as my mom sat back on the couch. Uh oh. Problems ahead. My mom sighed deep and sad, and she sat back on the couch as my dad got out of the room and I heard him opening the door so he could chase us away from the house. I had to act quickly. I walked over to the couch and jumped next to my mom.
"Get away from me…!" she said angry and with a warning glare, readying a heavy book to slap me away.
"Mom, please..!" I said as I pointed at the picture. "It's me!"
My mom didn't budge. She still looked at me with an angry face. I jumped over to her. I wanted to show her that it was me, but something else happened. My mom screamed and slapped me with the book she was holding. I evaded the book just as my father entered the room.
"GET AWAY FROM MY WIFE!" he said. He must have thought I attacked mom, because he sounded very angry and because he came for me quickly. My mom pushed me on the ground quickly. I scrambled to my feet and jumped away just in time to evade a broom smashing into the ground.
"OUT, OUT, OUT!" he shouted as he slapped the broom next to my multiple times, while I evaded it.
"DAD, PLEASE!" I shouted, panicked because of the turn of events, running through the living room. "IT'S ME!"
All of this was without avail, because my dad continued to chase me.
"I think we'd better get out of here!" Nikki said from her hiding place. "He will kill you if you stay here!"
I ran across the room, chased by my dad. He tried to get me to the door.
"One more time." I thought. I jumped the couch again and made my way over to my picture. My mother was standing and trying to not get in the way of my dad. I grabbed my own picture and held it on front of me, hoping they would understand it. My dad did indeed stop and looked at me.
"Yes, you BROKE that!" he said. "NOW GET OUT!" he said as he slapped the picture from my paws and slapped the broom on the couch as I jumped out of the way again. No good, he didn't understand it. I wanted to come up with other things or possible explanations, but there was no way I could think one up while - SLAM - evading this broom that was trying to hit me!
"Get outside!" I shouted at Nikki. She sprinted for the door and I followed. My pikachu side wasn't really helping, it was panicked and it wanted to get away from here. It was sending strong waves of panic through my body that triggered me to flee whilst I didn't really want to flee. I ran into the hallway and ran to the door, chased by my dad. Nikki made it outside, and I would soon follow. I ran outside the door opening and thought I made it, but I felt my paw sticking to the doorstep. I tripped and landed just outside the house. My dad stood next to me quickly. With a firm glance and a quick sweep he hit me with the broom. I slid on the pavement with a painful groan and looked at my dad.
"AND STAY AWAY!" he said slowly and loud. I looked at him and felt tears building up quickly.
"But dad… I'm your son!" I cried hysterically, feeling some tears.
"YES, I KNOW IT HURTS! BUT YOU DESERVED NO LESS!" he said angry, before turning around.
"NO, WAIT!" I cried. The door slammed shut. My heart skipped a beat. I was just thrown out of my house by my own parents. I got up and felt tears flowing from my cheek. I went back to the door and scribbled against it again.
"OPEN THE DOOR!" I shouted. "Let me in, it's me! Maurice! You're not who you think I am!" I shouted as the door opened again and within the blink of an eye I got face-broomed. I felt backwards to the concrete before my father swept me from our front garden.
"I SAID STAY AWAY!" he said before he returned towards the door opening and stood there, watching me with an angry face.
"WELL, GO ON!" he said. Nikki helped me standing up. I looked at him with tears in my eyes.
"Dad, please…!" I started, but it was without avail. My dad took a step forwards, holding the broom dangerously. I took a step backwards before I turned around and ran away. After a minute or so I stopped inside a random bush and dove under it. Nikki followed quickly.
I was thrown from my own house twice by my own father, and they probably didn't want to know me. I felt alone and I felt abandoned. It felt like the whole world hated me, like everyone was against me. I lost it. I sat down and started crying.
About my family, which I would probably never see again.
About being a pikachu, which I now hated so much.
About being hurt, broomsticks hurt if you get hit.
About feeling miserable, because I felt abandoned and because my own father just told me to get out and stay away.
And about feeling helpless, because I didn't know what to do, where to go and why.
I cried very long. Nikki sat next to me and comforted me, but it didn't really work.
After a while I sighed and stood up. I knew what to do. I had to get to Oak. Samuel Oak would be my last hope. Maybe Lukas or Jack or Rosie could help me, if they believed I was Maurice. I didn't see or smell them at my parents home, so they must be at Oak's laboratory. After telling Nikki where I was heading, we set off. Nikki talked about mating and looking for a nest along the way, but I ignored it. She rubbed her cheeks against mine a couple of times. She smiled at me with a sweet smile, one that Scarlet gave me as well when I was human. I just smiled back and told her that I wanted to go to. Somehow it did cheer me up a bit. She told me that I was crazy for still believing I was a human, but she followed me anyway. Evading a couple of trainers every now and then, we headed towards route 1, the road towards Pallet Town.
Leave a review, please! The button is down there! Thanks for reading and I wish you a pleasant day! Next part will be more happy, promise... :)
