Chapter 10: The Escape
(Alex's POV still)
I stare at him for a moment, then wonder why he is here. Arceus glances at the fallen Gardevoir, and she gets up again. She wobbles a bit when she sees Arceus again, but she keeps her feet. Pretend that you are my trainer, don't ask questions, just do it, Arceus says in my head.
"Alright, people! I am leaving this Arceusforsaken building, and anyone who stops me will be 'Judged' accordingly" I say, with as much confidence as I can muster. I motion to the door, and Arceus blasts it open. I walk out of the police station, and no one stops us. You know, it is a bit fun having Arceus as a… uh… friend. You imply that we are friends?Of course! Why else would the God of Pokémon show up just to save one human? Point taken. Arceus teleports away. I start down the road, then I stop. I smack myself when I realize that I forgot my Pokémon. I head back in and recall the three back in to their Pokéball. They are bristling with anger before they are sucked in. I make a note not to let them out until I get to my house. I walk back to my house and I try to unlock the door, but it has already been unlocked. I rush in, and gasp at what I see. I see absolutely nothing. Everything is gone, my chairs, my table, my sofa, my T.V., gone. The police must have taken it for "evaluation", in other words, they are not happy that I got away and they are taking my stuff until they think that I have been punished enough. I throw my Pokéballs in the living room and rush up to my room and lock the door. I make the psychic shield cover every part of my brain, so that I am invisible to Psy and Pyro. I hear the stairs creak and I start shivering. As I hear a creak right outside my door, I feel as if something breaks mentally. I look down and see that my hand is glowing again. I make an effort to calm down without making any noise. The glow fades away, slowly, but flares up again as I hear a knock on my door.
"Who is it?" I ask, my hand dropping to the bar on my belt.
"Come on out… we won't hurt you," comes Psy's voice. I didn't know she could talk. Hm.
"We only want hugs…" comes Pyro's voice.
"Wait, you too?" I ask.
"Of course!" says Psy.
"Why would we not?" continues Pyro.
"Is it because we are Pokémon?" concludes Cyclone.
"Well isn't that just amazing… now, I will open this door. I have the boom stick and I'm NOT afraid to use it. I am no longer part Pokémon, so some of your rules do not apply." I say as I activate the bar and open the door. I am jumped by all three of them, hugging me. Pyro even kisses me on the cheek. I stare at her and she blushes. I smile and get up from my position on the floor. I walk out the door to the next gym leader…
