Sorry about the slow updates, but ideas for this story don't come like they used to...anyways, I'll do my best to add more soon. You'll probably see more oneshots soon rather than new chapter stories...and that's also if I can get off of GTA Online or worse...Battlefield 4. Dum dum DUUUUUMM! Anyhow, hope you enjoy this chap and I'll try and have another chap up on Monday...if you're still following this, and if you are then thank you for your patience! :D
"So…what the hell are we doing here anyway?" May asked.
"Just having some fun, but we got trapped inside that building…" Red explained, "Who trapped us in there anyways?"
"Hey how'd you get in here?" a voice asked. The four of them turned to see an employee of the Safari Zone a sort distance away, "The park is closed at night you know."
"Well-" Red began.
"Hey, did you destroy that building!?" he asked.
"W-wait its not what it looks like!" Brendan replied before two more employees came out of the trees with headphones that looked like they could block out almost any sound.
"Well?" the original employee asked.
"Huh? Oh, we came across this building thinking that it was the one we were supposed to reach," Brendan explained, "but our friend's haunter played a trick on us and put us to sleep and we didn't realize it until we were in the building, then someone trapped us in there and we had to destroy the door to get out, but the whole thing came down on us!"
"…did you know that, that building was going to be demolished tonight?" the employee asked, " Those to behind me were the ones who were supposed to board it up and ready it for demolition." The two employees looked at each other as they could not hear what was going on due to their headphones, but noticed the first employee pointing at them with his thumb. Just as they removed their headphones to ask why they were being pointed out, May came up to both of them and started to slap them across the face repeatedly.
"YOU BASTARDS! WHO THE HELL GETS A BUILDING READY WITHOUT CHECKING FOR PEOPLE INSIDE!" She shouted, "I'VE GOT AMNESIA BECAUSE OF YOU DUMBASSES!" Brendan quickly pulled May away, thought she tried to break free to beat the employees some more.
"I'm sorry about our friend." Leaf apologized.
"Nah, I understand." The original employee replied, "I'd want to beat the guys that nearly got me killed to if that happened to me. They had it coming anyways as they're a couple of slackers, maybe that'll teach them not to cut corners. Anyways, you'd better go on and get out of the park, its late you know." Leaf nodded before she followed Red and Brendan who had to forcefully drag May away so that she wouldn't give the employees a bigger beating.
Stopping at the Pokemon Center, the four of them booked two rooms and went to sleep. Around midnight however, Leaf awake to find that Red was not in their room, but also noticed that the window was open. Leaf approached the window to close it, but she noticed a shadow that appeared to be human. Looking up, she saw that Red was standing on the roof, looking at the sky, and appeared to be lost in thought.
"Red?" Leaf called out, catching his attention, "Is something wrong?"
"No, I just can't sleep." Red replied as he helped her into the roof with him, "What with May getting amnesia, getting trapped in that building, and…what could have happened to you."
"Red, don't worry about me." Leaf replied as she hugged him, "I'll be ok…after all, you'll be there with me if something goes wrong, right?"
"Of course." Red replied as he held her. Leaf looked up to see Red's eyes, but something else caught her attention.
"Red, what's that?" she asked. Red looked over to where Leaf was looking to see a pink figure flying across the sky.
"Is that a pokemon?" Red asked before looking back at Leaf and they both looked at each other with confused looks.
"Ngh…ahh, it feels good to stretch in the morning!" May said as she did just that, "…so…where are we going again?"
"Well…naturally as trainers we should continue to Cinnabar Island to challenge the next Gym Leader…" Leaf replied, "but out of all of us, we only have one pokemon who could take us there."
"I don't think Swampert could guarantee a safe crossing with four people on him." Brendan informed, "Unless you want to get soaked in sea water until we arrive."
"Uhh…I don't think we're going anywhere any time soon." Red said and the others looked at him as if he'd gone crazy, "Have you looked outside?" The four of them looked out the window to snow falling lightly from the sky.
"What the…how long where we here?" May asked.
"Guess we've been traveling too much to realize the change of seasons." Brendan replied.
"I don't think so…" Leaf replied, "maybe a pokemon is causing this?"
"Pichu!" a little voice cried out. Just as all of them turned, May received a snowball to the face and Pichu could be seen running out the door way before May chased after him, but the both of them didn't get far before they became ice sculptures. Brendan and Red quickly brought them back in.
"Alright, we're not going anywhere unless we can get some jackets." Brendan said as he warmed May up by holding her close while Leaf did the same with Pichu.
"Got them." Red replied as he returned, "The Nurse said they had some that were left behind a year ago, though she also told me that they'd closed the roads until the storm ends." He gave Brendan a black long coat, May and Leaf got a black leather jacket, and Red put on a black bomber jacket.
"Who in the world would forget these?" May asked as she adjusted her jacket.
"Don't know, but it's a good thing they did." Brendan replied before they headed out. The four of them stepped out into a winter wonderland. Snow covered just about every inch of the ground, and there were people enjoying themselves in it. Brendan discreetly made a snowball in his hand and tapped May on the shoulder. Just as he was about to hit her with it, May face palmed him with a hand full of snow and grinded it in before Brendan fell back.
"You thought I was going to fall for that?" she asked as she helped him up.
"You know me too well…" Brendan replied before he pulled her down into the snow and buried her from the chest down, "but I still got you!"
"Brendan!" May shouted, "Let me out! Did you forget I have shorts!?"
"Whoops!" Brendan replied as he began to dig her out.
"Guy's, we should try to find out what's causing this." Red replied.
"Hey, the source of this snow is coming from the safari zone!" Leaf exclaimed.
"What makes you say that?" Brendan asked.
"Gee, I don't know," May replied sarcastically, "maybe it's the giant tornado of snow that gave it away!?" Brendan scratched the back of his head and shrugged before they continued. Leaf began to shiver as they got closer to the source and Red quickly held her close to warm her.
"Thanks Red." She said, "It was probably not a good idea to have left the house in a skirt."
"We can turn back if you want." Red replied.
"No, its ok." Leaf replied, "Besides, if we don't find out what's causing this, we won't be able to get out of town." The four of them pushed on and reached the entrance, but oddly enough, there was no one inside as they entered.
"Where is everyone?" May asked as they warmed up inside the building.
"Maybe they leaf because of the storm." Red replied.
"Then they left in a rush, because the gate to the Safari Zone isn't locked." Brendan replied.
"Brendan…the lock was broken!" May replied.
"Why would someone break into the Safari Zone?" Leaf asked.
"Let's go ask." May replied as she readied her pokeball with Blaziken and headed through the gate before the others followed.
