Color me Brain Damaged.
I could feel nothing but my heart beating in my chest, each rhythmic thump gave me a signal of hope that I wasn't dead just yet. My breathing felt automatic and forced, as if someone was making my lungs move itself. I felt someone place something on my chest, then if pressed down on me. I felt feeling return into my head.
"He... Convul..."
The voices were unknown and blurred, disoriented and tone deaf. The first sounded feminine and light. As if it was a mere cub, I felt static just from listening to her. I felt twitching in a alien part of my body, probably my tail; I was losing feeling in my head and tail once more.
"We... Shock him, Miayo!"
The second voice sounded, collected. Calm radiated off of it, the voice of a mother. felt a feeling of numbness course through me, then I gasped in agony as pain came out like a flood gate. My eyes pried themselves open, after feeling the headache course through me Iooked through the blurry vision. Three figures stood around me.
I recognized the species immediately, bit not them personally. I would recognized their species like the back of my hand.
On my left was a Sylveon with a hyperactive look in his eye, he had a smile that almost lit up the room I couldn't see. Two the right was a annoyed, but concerned, looking Pichu, the Pichu was obviously a female. I assumed her name was Miayo. Then a Pidgeot who wore a rectangular glasses stood in front of me, I didn't recognize their names however.
"Kiri! He woke up!" The Sylveon Yipped, causing me to flinch at the tone of his voice, "Oops, my bad.. I can't control the dial of my excitement! It has been forever since another Eevee came here! Especially shinies!"
"Sylvie!" Kiru deadpanned, ,"It'd obvious the gentleman has no idea what's going on and you're not helping..."
"Jeez..." The Pichu rubbed her ears, "You could be a little louder."
"Oh hush!" The Pidgeot snapped, the tone of her voice deathly. The same voice that could make Red turn in his own grave. The voice that was so angry that Slyvie ended up shutting his mouth but his smile didn't fade; he faked innocence with a look.
Pichu crossed her arms.
"Okay..." Pidgeon cleared her throat, she opened her beak once more. "You were lucky to have regained consciousness so soon. You weren't expected to wake up for another few lucky indeed.."
I was about to speak but my throat won't listen, in fact I couldn't even clear my throat. I looked at the Pigeon and she raised an eyebrow at Sylvie, she looked unamused at the Sylveon.
"You forgot to take the cotton out of his throat?" The Pichu asked, a vein threatening to burst out of her pale yellow cranium. I swore I saw a big sweat drop from the Pidgeon. Sylvie shrugged.
"I thought that was your job, Miayo?" Sylvie reminded,
"You idiot! I was in charge of shocking him! You decided CPR was the best option for open wounds!" Miago argued, "The one job you could do possibly correct and you managed to fu-"
The Pigeon once again raised her eyebrow.
"-messed that up!" Miago finished, "Use cotton to clean up the blood, yet you used them for a cruddy necklace!"
"Just admit you're jealous," Sylvie scoffed, "I am fabulous!"
Is Sylvie gay, or foreign?
"I wish they weren't partners..." The Pigeon took a stick and pried open my sore jaw, I wimpered but she quietly shushed me, "I know it hurts but you will feel better when I take out the cotton and start to talk..."
I felt the pressure in my throat leave and saw the cotton soaked in blood, I felt the world around me change grey as I started to sputter a sound, making sure my own throat worked.
"So let's start with your name?"
I couldn't remember... Oh god every time I try my vision turns into a grey monotone! I looked at Kiru and tried to talk.
"G-gr-grey!" I sputtered,
"I'm sorry?" Kirun asked
"Gr-grey!"
"Okay, Grey! My name is Kiru, I am the guild master!" Kiru smiled warmly.
"Some.. Wrong... Me.."
"Are you alright? Can you count my feathers?" She held up an unknown number of feather tips. I shook my head dreadfully. Kiru sighed, she was apparently hoping it would never come to this. The bird Pokémon held my grey head. She was still grey and everything around me, she took a candle and lighted it using a flint and rocks.
"Brain Damage..." Kiru shuddered, "It should cure but you're not going into fighting or adventures anytime soon..."
What the heck did she say? Both parts repeat please?
"Provided you would wish to stay here, that is well and fine, but if you must go I won't force you." Kiru was sweet, doing her all to nurse me back to health...
"Long...out?"
"How long you were out?"
I nodded solely.
"Eight days..."
"Fuck."
I woke up once more to two Pokémons, I instantly recognized their species once my vision cleared of any fuzzyness and dark splotches. I felt my head clear up but my vision still grey, everything was in monotone. All except for one color, my bed. Or rather nest, I started to look around and notice I was in a white room. A chancy wearing a red cross was attending to hurt Pokémon.
"I heard the newbie is blind..."
"He was knocked down by Officer Lud-willson!"
The Pokémon were a Buizel and a Piplup, the two were talking back turned to me. I realized my face was bandaged, I raised a paw to touch it and it went to full color. It was freshly applied, blood still accompanied it... Did they give me a lobotomy?
"Hey! He's awake!" The Buizel touched my paw, he became in full color. The Buizel smiled at me cockily.
The Piplup slapped his hand away, "You know what the guild master said, don't touch him!
"C'mon Koko, don't be jealous because I am feeling in case he is cold," The Buizel joked, causing the penguin Pokémon to frown heavily and growl. "Just kidding, little bro. You act like I am in to that kind of thing, unless you are."
"Screw off,"
"Ha... Gay!" I heard from the other side of the room, I felt a chuckle escape my lips. The two Pokémon looked at me and smiled.
"If you can hear us; my name is Kolor," The Buizel bowed, his paw on his stomach and his left behind him. It was obvious this Pokemon was a flirty type, The Piplup shook his head and took my right paw in his flipper. He became full color.
"My name is Koko,"
"And we are Team: Blue Water & Orange Roses!" Kolor exclaimed,
"Water & Rose for short.." Koko sighed. For some reason Koko was more familiar than the rest of the Pokémon I met. I couldn't put my own paw on it, it was just too blurry for my brain to comprehend memory. Koko had a sense of... Hardiness. His grip was tight on my paw until he let go. The glint in his eyes were full of battle tactics, I could almost read them.
His brother, as stated earlier, was flirty. I don't think who/what Kolor was flirting with mattered, all that was concern that he was a lovey dovey. Judging by glints in eyes, they both were twins. Same eyes, same speech pattern. Hm... Possibly mix parents.
I stuck to what everyone was calling me now,
"Gr-grey..." I sputtered, my state of health was ruining my speech. I needed to get my brain in order or I will personally give myself a lobotomy... My stuttering was getting frustrated but my throat kills me.
I coughed and Koko placed on a nurse mask, Kolor a... Ball gag?
"Well, rumor has it you're staying. Right?" Koko asked.
"Y-you 'ave... Taken c-care of m-m-me..." I coughed, first sentence since amnesia.
I was getting somewhere at least.
"You're weak, Grey-no-baka!"
"Don't give up!"
"Y-you 'ave made m-made make ang-angry..."
