May's Pov (September 5th)
I don't know why, but I feel uncomfortable. I feel like someone is watching me, like something bad is going to happen to me. Though it could just be that bad dream I had. "June!" My eye twitched as Drew ran up to me, smirking. "It's May! M-A-Y!" He rolled his eyes, walking next to me. "What do you want, Grasshead?" We headed towards the battlefield, where we would be meeting Dawn. "Well, I just want to know why I was told to go to the battlefield." How am I suppose to know?!
I glared at him, "I don't know. I just woke up!" He started mocking me, making my eye twitch more. This girly boy is going to get it soon. "Did you just call me girly?!" I nodded, smirking as a glare was directed at me. "Maybe Dawn just wants to talk or something, she seemed pretty nervous last night." I mumbled. We made it to the battlefield, where Dawn and her Togekiss were waiting. "Hello~" She said happily. I waved, sitting on the ground. "Why did you call us here?" She sighed, pacing back and forth. "I'm nervous. I'm scared something is going to happen!" So it isn't just me then? "I don't know why you two are nervous." Drew grumbled.
"I asked Misty and Leaf. Of course, Leaf didn't answer but Misty said she is nervous as well." That was weird. I thought it was only me, I guess not. "Why didn't you call Misty here?" Dawn face palmed. "I forgot to, didn't I?" I nodded, stifling a giggle as she dialed Misty's number. "Misty! Get your butt over here this instant!" Drew rolled his eyes, obviously not wanting to be here. "So, if I may ask, why did you invite me here?" Drew grumbled. Dawn smirked, "Don't you want to support your girlfriend?"
"I'M NOT HIS GIRLFRIEND!"
"I DON'T WANT HER AS MY GIRLFRIEND!"
We glared at each other, Dawn rolling her eyes. "Could you love birds be any louder?" She said, giggling. She is lucky I'm to lazy to get up. "Okay okay, what is it?!" Misty growled, appearing next to me. Dawn smiled, "Good! Now, am I the only one feeling nervous?" Didn't she already ask this? "Where is Leaf?" Misty asked. I shrugged, I thought I saw her on my way here, though she disappears quickly. "She didn't answer, so just let her be~" Dawn sung.
Drew immediately started to leave, Dawn rolling her eyes. "FINE! Leave! Obviously you don't care about your teammates!" Drew hesitated, before leaving. "Sorry! That is girl talk, I'm not a girl!" He called back. "You sure about that?!" He sent me a quick glare, disappearing into the crowd. I laughed as Dawn continued, "I feel like something is going to happen to us." I stopped, looking at her worriedly. "I feel nervous, but I don't think I am as nervous as you are, Dawn." Misty said quietly. I looked at our Pokémon. Azurill, Piplup, and Skitty looked just as scared. What is going on?
"I'm starting to think someone is watching us as well." Misty said, looking around. I nodded, looking around as well. I didn't notice anything at all, but the feeling didn't go away. "Anyways, I just want to know, what do you guys think we should do?" Dawn asked. "I don't know, I really don't. This feeling is weird, but maybe its just our imagination messing with us." I hope it's that. I got up, Skitty trembling. She must be cold. "Well, Drew didn't seem to have this feeling, did he?" Dawn suddenly asked, making me stop. "I-I don't think so, he didn't seem nervous at all." She frowned, sighing. "O-okay.." Misty picked up Azurill, sighing.
"I'm sure it'll go away guys, don't worry." I hope it does..
"Well, I don't know about you guys, but I'm tired. When is that tournament again?" I stifled a yawn as Misty replied. "Next week. I don't think I am ready for it." I smiled reassuringly, "You'll do fine Misty." I could see she didn't want to be with Ash right now. Their friendship seems really important to her, and for Ash to choose Melody like that must have hurt badly. I started heading towards the dorms, Dawn and Misty following. "May~ Wait up!" Dawn whined. I waited for them. "Hey May!" I know that voice! A smile broke out on my face as a familiar person ran up to me.
Brendan. His white hat he usually wore was lopsided, and he had on a black jacket with grey pants. I smiled brightly, "Brendan!" I hugged him tightly, a giggle escaping my lips. I saw Dawn's smile and immediately knew what she was thinking. Great, she thinks I like Brendan. "How have you been?" Misty and Dawn watched from afar, a squeal escaping Dawn's lips for no reason. "I've been fine, you?" He shrugged. "I've gotten better at battling, I lost the league though." Aww, he tried so hard to. "I'm sure you'll get it next time!" He nodded, a smile forming. "I'll let you go back to your friends, but first!" He pulled out his pokegear, looking at me expectantly. We traded numbers, "I'll call you later, bye May!"
I walked towards my friends, Misty smirking. "So~" "So..?" I said slowly, looking at Dawn. "You and him.." I rolled my eyes. "I don't like him like that. He is just my friend." She gave me a look, that clearly said she doesn't believe me. "Lets just go, okay?" They dropped the subject, the three of us sitting at a table. "I'm still nervous.." Dawn mumbled, looking around. I looked behind me, seeing Leaf heading towards us.
"Leaf! There you are! Where were you?" She sat next to me, Pichu handing me something. A note. I looked at it, reading it aloud for the others. "We aren't happy with you."
"Is someone out to get us?" Dawn asked, looking at Leaf. She didn't answer, Pichu looking just as confused as us. I sighed, "Well then, at least I know this feeling isn't just my brain playing tricks on me." Misty nodded in agreement, Azurill frowning. "Did you see anybody watching us though?" Dawn asked. Still no answer. Pichu didn't answer either, leaving us even more confused. "Maybe someone is just playing a joke.." I mumbled. The others still looked doubtful, and I looked at Leaf. Her eyes were looking somewhere past me, and I looked. I didn't see anything. "What is wrong with you girls?" Ash asked.
Misty ignored him, while I sighed. "Nothing, just nervous." I mumbled. He nodded, his smile fading as he looked at Misty. Gary stayed quiet. Skitty yawned as I rubbed her neck, the sun shining brightly. I shielded my eyes as I looked up at Gary. "Whats wrong with you?" He shrugged, not answering.
Kanto people like to be quiet it seems like.
I looked at Ash, who was rubbing Pikachu's head. "The tournament is in a week. September 12th." I nodded. "I'm hoping for a quick and easy battle." Misty answered, before realizing what she did. "Misty, can I talk to you?" Ash asked. I watched her sigh, "Fine.." They left, leaving me, Dawn, Gary and Leaf here. "So.." I started. "Bye." Gary left, leaving me and Dawn confused. "Okay then? Um Leaf-" I stopped talking, noticing the champion wasn't next to me. Weird. "Okay then." I said once more, Dawn laughing. I looked up at the sky, trying to force a smile on my face.
Kind of hard when you feel nervous and scared though.
Ash's Pov
What did you want to talk about, Ash?" I looked at Misty.
"I want to apologize once more. Please don't get Leaf on me.." I quickly added that last part in, looking at her. She sighed, "If I do, you have to promise me one thing." I immediately nodded.
"Don't go near Melody. She is bad news." My smile faded.
How is Melody bad news? Sure, she isn't the nicest girl but she is still an okay person. Well, if it meant Misty would talk to me and smile once more, then I'll make sure to keep this promise. "I promise." She smiled brightly. "Good. I don't like her at all. She is bad news." I nodded, replaying that in my head. Bad news, huh? I wonder how. She seemed like an okay girl when I was spending time with her, but if Misty says so, then I'll trust Misty. Another thought came to my mind. The problem between me, Leaf and Gary. Maybe Gary wouldn't mind if I told Misty? I could ask him quickly. She could help, probably. "Ash? Everything okay?" I nodded, grabbing my pokegear. I sent a quick text to him. He responded a minute later. Your choice Ash. –Gary Okay then!
"Misty, could I talk to you?" She looked surprised, but nodded. "Okay then, let's go to my dorm room. I don't need anybody else hearing this. Gary will be there as well." She followed as I led the way to my room. "Wait Ash. Girls aren't allowed in the boy dorms." Damn, I forgot. I quickly thought of another place to talk about this. "The Pokémon Center?" She nodded, the both of us heading there. I told Gary to go there.
We finally made it, Gary waving us over. I walked up to him, Nurse Joy smiling. "Here is a key. Just don't do anything else, okay?" She said with an amused smile. Oh god, the nurse is perverted! I quickly grabbed the key, hearing her laugh as we made our way to the room. "Pervert nurse alert.." Gary snickered. We walked in, Gary closing the door as Misty sat down. "So what is it you wanted to talk to me about." I looked at Gary.
"It's about Leaf. We want to tell you why she is so hostile. Maybe you could help us." Misty nodded, a determined look on her face.
"Okay then, I'll start from the beginning."
Leaf's Pov
I feel like someone is talking about me. I was sitting on a rock, staring out at the sea. Pichu hopped from rock to rock, her spiky ear swaying every time she landed. The sun shined brightly, and the ocean stayed put, a peaceful atmosphere surrounding the place. I miss the harsh wind though, the never-ending crying I'd always hear from it. The snow was nice as well. Pichu looked up, her eyes shining with concern. I'm fine, so I don't know why you are worrying. She rolled her eyes, turning back around to start hopping once more. My pokeball shook, and I grabbed it.
I threw it into the ocean, Lapras resurfacing a minute later. "Lap?" She said, tilting her head. She has been worried a lot lately. I'm fine though, there is nothing to be worried about. I got off the rock, walking up to her. She lowered her head, letting me rub it. "Lapras lap.." I stared out at the sea, seeing Gyarados in the distance, Magikarp jumping out. Lucky Pokémon, I want to go back home to the mountain. "Lapras? Lap.." I froze.
She had a point. I was champion, and as such I had a say in what I wanted to do. I didn't have to stay here, and I could easily leave. Lance had no say in my life, like no one does. She smiled at me, swimming peacefully. I could leave and go back home. Pichu looked sad though. Was she really enjoying her time here? I wasn't. It was boring. She glared at me, a pout forming. "Pichu!" She yelled. One vote against six, Pichu. You are the only one who likes it here. My other Pokémon have already proven they don't like this place. She frowned, lip trembling.
Oh great. Here we go.
"Pichu.. P-pi chu.." Tears started to fall from her eyes, her frown growing more and more. Lapras looked between us in amusement. Im not falling for those fake tears, Pichu. She kept it up though, finally giving up when I ignored her completely. "Pichu." She mumbled. "Lapras lap.." She looked at me, eyes softening. I have not become more happy since I've arrived. I don't want to be nice, and I don't want friends. I don't want to be here at all. I haven't been happy in a long time.
She rolled her eyes at me, Pichu hopping onto her back. They started swimming around the area, Pichu cheering happily as I thought about what she said. Sure, I had protected Misty from Ash, but that was because I didn't want him coming near me. I sat back down, a figure heading towards me. Cynthia.
What was she doing here? I don't want to see her. "Hello Leaf." She said, smiling calmly. I stared as she continued, "Lance is an idiot, isn't he? There is a meeting today and yet he told you that you can't leave this island. Then, he is raging about you not showing up. I came to get you, and Misty." She waited patiently for me to get ready. She texted Misty, who responded back immediately. Charizard formed, her blue eyes shining. "Alright then, Misty can ride on Garchomp with me." She said. We waited for Misty, Cynthia making small talk. "You know, you are like a little sister." I don't want to be your sister. Misty finally arrived.
"S-sorry! I was busy!" I climbed onto Charizard's back, Misty going with Garchomp. We set off, finally leaving that horrible island. "I've never flown this high before.." I heard Misty say in awe. I relaxed on Charizard's back, her huge wings cutting the air now and then. I saw Misty give me a sympathetic look. Why are you giving me that look? Pichu ran around on Charizard's back, laughing happily. I looked down at the ocean, the Pokémon swimming happily. So peaceful.
X~TimeSkip~X (Pokémon League, Kanto)
We headed inside the building, Misty fixing her hair. "That was fun!" Cynthia nodded, a smile gracing her lips. I felt an arm snake around my neck, Steven laughing. "Hello Leaf! How nice of you to join us!" Get your arm off of me. People working at the League stared in surprise at me, some trainers whispering in shock. Cynthia and Steven smiled brightly at me as we headed into the meeting room. Misty went to join the Kanto gym leaders, and I sat in the main chair. It made me look like a queen. Cynthia and Steven sat at my side. Lance walked in, a smile forming as he walked towards me. "You came! Wonderful!" He sat next to Cynthia.
Pichu looked around nervously, the halls a new sight for her. The walls were painted a royal blue, gold lines running along them. The doors were huge, making a loud noise as they closed. The seats were extremely comfortable as well. I looked out the window as more and more gym leaders started to show up. "Now, let us get this meeting under way." Lance announced as the last few sat down.
The talking began. I barely paid any attention, ignoring everyone as they continued on. "Ms Leaf?" A voice spoke up. I looked, seeing the Johto gym leader Falkner staring at me, confused. "Are you not going to say anything about it?" About what? Lance sighed, "You already know she can't speak. Leaf, if you weren't listening, there is a rising problem with stealing in Goldenrod. The citizens are not happy and the police are having trouble dealing with it themselves." So? What am I suppose to do about it?
"Will you help out your region? You are the champion of Johto AND Kanto after all.." Falkner reminded me, raising a brow. I'll do it, might as well use it as a getaway from that annoying academy. I nodded slowly, Lance smiling. "Great!" No, it isn't.
They kept talking, my eyes following a Pidgey as it flew by the window. Pichu yawned, bored to be here. Couldn't blame her. Misty's pokegear went off, and she left the room. Probably Ash or someone wondering where we are. She joined back a minute later, the meeting finally ending. "Leaf, you didn't listen to any of that, did you?" Lance sighed as I shook my head. "Pretty much, you need to go to Goldenrod today and handle the thieves. There was also talk about a Team Rocket grunt or two, and some other stuff." I nodded, barely listening. I don't really care. Lance rolled his eyes when he noticed I wasn't paying attention. "I'll choose Gary to go with you then."
Wait... What?
He smirked as I stared at him. "Next time, listen." He walked off. Go to hell, Lance. Misty ran up to me, smiling softly. "Ready to go Leaf?" I followed her, where Cynthia was waiting for us. "I'll be dropping Misty off. Don't forget Leaf, you have to go to Goldenrod to fix that problem." I got on Charizard, leaving. Cynthia caught up, frowning as Misty looked between us. I ignored the both of them, the flight to Cinnabar would be long. I didn't want to be bothered anyways. The wind rushed past me as Charizard pushed herself to fly faster. The Pidgey moved out of the way, not wanting to be hit by Charizard.
Pichu had fallen asleep underneath my hat after trying to make me jealous for some reason. My pokegear vibrated, and I looked at it. Misty texted me. I looked at the text message.
Do you have Gary's number? I'll give it to you if you don't. –Misty
Do I look like I want his number? I don't want his number at all. My phone vibrated once more, the message appearing. His stupid number. I don't want it. Charizard glared darkly, knowing what was wrong. I rubbed her head, staring at the sky.
I have to work with Traitor. I don't want to though. I don't want to be near the person who treated me bad when I was little. He ridiculed me, shunned me, threatened me. I was never accepted in Pallet Town. He doesn't deserve to live. Pallet Town never accepted me at all. Sure, I was grateful I got my Pokémon and all, but for them to shun the one who represented them? Pathetic. We landed on the island, Cynthia sighing.
"Make sure to do what Lance said Leaf." She left, becoming a speck in the sky as the others came up to us. "You two were at a meeting? Why didn't you tell us?! We were worried!" May whined. Misty tried to explain to them while I looked around. Traitor was staring at me, a nervous look on his face. Let me guess.
Lance messaged him already, didn't he?
"Leaf, I'm ready when you are." Charizard glared coldly at him, her blue eyes darkening. He avoided looking at her, Ash frowning. "Where are you going?" "I have to help take care of the problem in Goldenrod." Ash nodded, "Be careful then." Traitor nodded. Charizard was reluctant to let him on, but gave in. We flew off, Traitor yelping in surprise at the speed. "A-are you trying to kill me?!" Yes. I am. Charizard flew faster, dodging flying Pokémon. Traitor held on for his life, Charizard laughing like a maniac.
This is going to be a long flight.
Misty's Pov
Today was rather interesting. The meeting at the Pokémon League was amusing, since Leaf barely paid attention to it. Though what I learned today from Ash and Gary still shocked me. They did all that to her? That is somewhat cruel. I can tell the guilt is eating them alive slowly. I feel somewhat bad, but I don't know how to fix this. I never dealt with anything like this before.
"Misty?"
I mean, I'd never dream of doing that to someone..
"Mist?"
I don't think I could ever be happy if that happened to me..
"MIST!" I flinched, seeing Ash frowning as he stared at me. "Whats wrong? You weren't answering." I smiled, "Sorry, I was just thinking about what you and Gary told me earlier." He nodded, his happiness fading slightly. "I'm sure you guys will fix this problem!" I said, smiling weakly. He shrugged, rubbing Pikachu's head. I looked up at the sky. Leaf, Gary and Charizard became specks in the sky the minute she took off. Obviously she wasn't happy.
Leaf seemed to be opening up to me, though that could just be my imagination. I sighed, catching Ash's attention. "Do you think Leaf is opening up to me though?" He looked surprised at my sudden question, before a smile appeared. "Yeah, it seems like she is." I nodded, thinking back to what they told me. "I'll try to help." He looked grateful, sighing in relief. "Thanks Mist."
I stared at the sky once more, before directing my attention to May as she talked. "I think us coordinators are going to be doing the Silver level the most. Ash, Gary, Leaf and the rest will get a break." She said, smiling happily. "Why do you say that?" Dawn smiled proudly. "I heard it myself!" Okay then, maybe she is right. I quickly pulled out my pokegear, telling Leaf about the information Dawn found out. I turned, starting to head towards the school building. "Where are you going Misty?" Dawn called. I pointed towards the dorms, smiling. "I want to relax right now." I left, my friend's chatter fading as I passed through crowds. I finally made it back into the safety of my room. My phone vibrated, and I quickly grabbed it. A smile formed.
...-Leaf
It's a start, at least.
Paul's Pov
"Hey! Plumhead! Get over here!" My eye twitched as I walked over to my friends. "You are going to help me train!" "No." Dawn frowned, before growling angrily. "You will help me! I need a strong opponent-" I walked away, the bluenette chasing after me. "Don't you ignore me! You are so irritating! Look, I need help. As a teammate, you must help me." She said, a smirk forming. "Ask someone else. I'm not doing your little coordinating dress up thing." She glared at me, fists clenched. "It isn't dress up!"
Whatever you say troublesome. I ignored her, heading towards the black roof building. I wanted to learn about the days when we would get a break. "Where do you think you are going?" Dawn yelled angrily, grabbing my arm. She tried pulling me, and all I could do was raise an eyebrow in amusement. Did she really think she could pull me? She glared, face turning red. "Stop being stubborn and help me!" People stared, looking confused and amused. She is making a fool of herself.
"Troublesome. Stop." She let go, staggering back and pouting. "You know, you are really mean." I don't care what you think of me. "You look like a grumpy old man." I glared while she giggled. "Always frowning. You are going to look like a old man." I looked at her, "That is better than being you." She glared, throwing a pokeball at my head. Immediately her Buneary started to kick my head. "Beg for me to stop!" She yelled, smiling, a devious look in her eyes.
I grabbed Buneary's leg, dropping the Pokémon to the floor. "I don't need to beg for anything." I turned around, walking towards the building. I entered, ignoring the girl behind me. "Hello, how may I help you?" The owner said, smiling.
"I would like to know when we get breaks." The woman nodded, fixing her blond hair before showing me a board. I walked over to the board, reading the dates and memorizing them.
Thanksgiving Day November 21-27. Wow. A full week off I think. I was suddenly interrupted by Dawn, who shoved me out of the way. "Ooh! We get longer breaks off of school then a regular school does! YAY!" I ignored her squealing, going back to my spot to memorize the dates. Once I was done I left the building, leaving troublesome to chase after me. Annoying girl.
"HOW DARE YOU EMBARRASS ME LIKE THAT!" She yelled angrily. "Just leave me alone. Ask someone else to train you. You are extremely annoying." She glared, frowning. "Fine then! I'll go ask Ash or Drew. Hmph." She stomped off, Piplup glaring at me. I looked at Torterra's pokeball, which was shaking. I grabbed it, looking inside the capsule.
He is laughing at me. He looked at me knowingly, before closing his eyes. Whatever.
She is so annoying.
Drew's Pov
Everything has been a mess for me lately. From hearing May's plan to sabotage me to worrying about the tournament. My mind is going crazy right now. I took a sip of my soda as I stared at the ocean. Seems like everyone does that to get their minds off of things. My Roserade sat next to me, meditating peacefully.
"DREW!"
Nevermind. I looked up, an angry May marching towards me. I felt somewhat awkward around May. My decision last night could change everything. She glared angrily, "You think it is funny to leave a rude note in my bag and a rose?" I nodded, smirking.
"It's very fun, trust me. You are so blind sometimes, you barely notice anything." She growled menacingly, pinching her hands. "You know what I should do? I should pretend you aren't here." She grumbled. "I do that all the time, you know." She seethed, raising her fists. "H-hey! Don't hurt Mr Drew!" Brianna came running towards us, May directing her fist towards the girl. Brianna slid to a stop, inches away from colliding with May's fist.
"May, put your fist down. Hi Brianna." I smiled at her, seeing May roll her eyes. "H-h-h-hi.." She stuttered, blushing madly. I chuckled, May looking between us. "W-w-what are you doing here with May?" Brianna asked sweetly. I smiled, "Just talking. Apparently she thinks she isn't fat, yet she is." I joked. We weren't talking about that, but I want to see her reaction. "She is, isn't she?" Brianna joked. We laughed, and I looked up.
My smile faded.
May was looking at me her sapphire blue eyes somewhat dull. She turned on her heel and left, not speaking another word. She didn't even get angry or anything. I frowned, Brianna looking between us. "M-May! Wait up!" I tried to catch up to her, but Brianna held me back. "Wait Mr Drew! It is important!" I sighed, turning back around. "What." I grumbled. She showed me a letter.
I bit my lip.
I don't know what to believe anymore. Can I trust her? Or is she really out to destroy me? I don't know what to think of May anymore. Brianna smiled, "It's okay. Your decision is the right thing. I support you a hundred percent!" I nodded. No one needed to know my decision just yet. I don't even know if May would do this. I sighed, putting the letter in my pocket. Roserade glared at me, an angry look in his eye. I sighed. I'll apologize.
Though I don't know what to believe anymore..
Gary's Pov
It was about nine at night. Maybe ten. I couldn't really tell. We had landed in Goldenrod, getting looks of awe. I already know it's because of Leaf though. I wonder what it is like being Champion. I looked at her, seeing her eyes scan the place. Goldenrod is pretty at night. The lights shining on the ground, the trees in the distance, and the sound of the ocean hitting land was amazing. The yellow and purple buildings stood out perfectly, and the train roared as it sped through the city, heading to Kanto. A smile formed on my face.
Leaf walked ahead, Pichu looking at me angrily. I don't know why though. We headed towards a blocked off part of the town, where police were walking about. Leaf stepped over the yellow tape, and I followed. "Hey! No one is allo-oh, it's the champion!" The officer said in surprise. We stopped in front of him, Leaf handing the man a letter. He read it, before bowing his head in respect. "Right this way." Champions get a lot of respect, don't they? I whistled as we headed towards the building. The trading station. The windows were broken, and the globe had stopped spinning.
"Some say it was a few Rocket grunts. We couldn't find anything though." Leaf headed in, the cop watching me as I followed. I looked around, a sigh escaping my lips as Leaf headed upstairs. I guess I'll check around the first floor then. Umbreon helped me, the both of us searching the place thoroughly. Nothing. "Let's head upstairs Umbreon." I walked up the stairs, seeing Leaf standing there. "D-did you find anything?" I always got nervous around her. She ignored me, Pichu grabbing the item and running towards me. She glared, but I ignored it as I looked at the object.
It was part of the trade station. Whoever stole from here obviously were ordered to get parts from the computer. Leaf walked towards me, showing me a trainer card. I took it, a frown forming on my face as I read it over and over. "Why would a trainer want computer parts? Unless they are using someone else's card." A shadow moved suddenly, and I quickly dodged a Hyper Fang from a Raticate. Umbreon snarled angrily, Leaf looking around. "You can't ruin our plans this time, champion!" A grunt yelled.
Wrong move though.
He jumped out, his Raticate's fang close to Umbreon's neck. Leaf's Espeon slammed straight into Raticate, Umbreon using Dark Pulse. "Quick Raticate! Take Down!" The Pokémon went flying past me as Umbreon dodged, Espeon hitting it with a powerful Psychic attack. The Pokémon fainted, the grunt paling instantly as we cornered him. "Hand it over." I growled.
He frowned, shakily handing it over. "Do you know how long I've been stuck in this building?! ALL DAY! THE BOSS IS GOING TO BE ANGRY WITH ME! I FAILED THE MISSION-" He shut up, staring at Leaf. "W-what..?" He said shakily. I smirked, watching him tremble. I grabbed him as we made our way out of the building. The cops immediately handcuffed him while I handed over the important part Team Rocket needed for their plan.
"Excellent job, Gary and Leaf." The cop said, bowing in respect to us. Now Team Rocket shouldn't be bothering for a long time. We left the area. I stared at Leaf, frowning uncomfortably. When we were little, I was never bothered by the fact that she couldn't talk. Why am I so uncomfortable right now? Probably because I still feel guilty for what I've done. I sighed loudly as we walked.
She didn't pay me any attention, like always.
I bumped into her, seeing her staring at me. "W-what?" She kept staring, before releasing Charizard. The Pokémon stared at me, so many emotions running through its eyes at once. Anger, worry, regret, guilt, and more. What is going on with her Pokémon? We climbed on, the flight to the island being slower than it was earlier. I stared down at the water, the night sky reflecting from it.
I wonder. What would it be like if I hadn't done that stuff to her? Would she smile more? Would she care for others? She isn't like the old Leaf. The Leaf I remembered used to smile, and help others willingly. I looked up, seeing red eyes staring at me. I looked at her, the harsh air hitting our faces. She turned back around, and my heart went heavy.
No matter what, it seemed like I wouldn't be able to fix anything.
There is chapter 7. I'm sorry it is so short. Tell me what you want with the power story!
-Pichu
