Mysterious Brothers

Reggie's House, Veilstone City, Sinnoh:
Reggie's POV
Oh Paul, please wake up. I thought as I put another cloth with ice inside on his forehead. So far he had been out for two days since Weavile dragged me to see him. When I found him like that I went into panic-mode. Really, I did. Ever since I had promised our mom that I would take care of him, I had kept that promise up to now, ten years after I made it. If she saw us right now, she would kill me! Anyways, after I had calmed down (thanks to Weavile), I had brought Paul up to his room and put him in bed. He also had a high temperature, so I asked Weavile to make some ice with her Ice Beam and then to tell Electivire to use Brick Break to break it into smaller pieces. She nodded, then ran off. I guess while she asked Electivire that the other pokemon heard about Paul's condition, so most of them were either here in the room with me or outside in the hall. Torterra was the heaviest, so he had to stay downstairs. It was just upsetting him more because he was Paul's first pokemon, almost didn't get separated from him, and he wanted to stay by Paul's side if he could. Which he couldn't right now because he would likely bring the house down (literally) if he did. As I heard another crashing sound come from downstairs, I sighed and got up.
"Come tell me if Paul wakes up, okay?" I asked Weavile. She nodded before gazing back to Paul. I went into the hall, moving around the pokemon, and then went down the stairs to see that Torterra was still pacing and was still accidentally knocking stuff down with his turns and with the swishes from his tail.
"Torterra," I said, getting the Continent Pokemon's attention, "Please, calm down. Paul will be fine. If you keep this up, we'll have a ditch in this house and lots of stuff to replace."
"Tor..." he told me, hanging his head. I patted him and said: "I know you're sorry. Just give it time, okay? He'll be up and about soon, I know it. Then you can do all the worrying you want with him by doing one of your favorite things you used to do as a Turtwig and Grotle when he made you worry, right?" I told him. He looked up at me and smiled, saying: "Tor! Torterra terra tor tor!" What I was talking about before was when he usually tackled Paul into the ground and sat on him until he said sorry, but that was when they were younger and before he evolved into his final form. If he still did that these days he would have crushed Paul by the first or second time.
"Just try not to crush him too much or I won't have a brother and you wouldn't have a trainer anymore, alright?" I joked. He smiled and said: "Terrator tor terra!" I was about to go up the stairs when the doorbell rang.
No-one should be visiting us today, should they? I thought, puzzled, as I went to get the door. As I passed Torterra, he gave me a questioning look, probably wondering who it is as well. I opened the door and saw the same woman that was in the newspaper, the new Champion.
"Hello. I was wondering, are you Reggie?" She asked. Her voice sounded so familiar, but I don't know why...
"Y-yes, I'm Reggie. Aren't you the woman they said in the newspaper that became the new Champion?" I asked.
"I am. And is that Torterra behind you your's?" she asked again. I turned around and saw Torterra right behind me, just like she said. Man, can Paul's Torterra be quiet when he wants to be...
"No, he's my little brother's. And why are you here?"
"I wanted to talk to you and your brother. Can I come inside, please?" she told me, then asked.
"Oh, sorry! I forgot my manners. Seeing a Champion like you on my doorstep doesn't happen everyday, you know." I told her before stepping aside and letting her in. She nodded before coming inside, then slipped off her shoes.
"I understand." she told me, "There is another reason why I'm here, though."
"Terra tor?" Torterra asked her.
"Yes, another reason, Torterra." she told him, then turned to me. Wait, she understood Torterra?!
"Where is your little brother, Reggie? He also needs to know." the Champion then asked me. I stiffened slightly. I was afraid she was going to ask that. Well, I'll be honest with her.
"You see, Ms. Champion-"
"Call me Mewlin."
"Wait, Mewlin's your name?" I asked, surprised. There was only one person I knew of that had that same name, but I hadn't heard or seen her in ten years...
"Yes, and I think you might remember me, Reggie." she told me. That made everything fit together right then.
"That means..." I looked into her eyes and saw that same spark of kindness I had always seen in Mom's eyes. It didn't seem real, but... it was. After all these years, too... I felt my eyes start to tear up and I threw myself into her arms, saying: "It is you, Mom! We've missed you!"
"I know, Reg, I know..." she soothed, trying to calm me down and using the nickname I used to have when I was little. I didn't care if I calmed down or not. I had just found our mom, and that was all that mattered to me. After a while, I had calmed down enough to ask why she had left.
"I can't tell you right now, Reggie, but later on I will. But tell me what happened with Paul, please." I told her, but she didn't seem surprised. SHE SHOULD! This is her son and my little brother we are talking about!
"You don't have to yell that, you know." she told me. Did I just say all of that out loud? Um... Oops?
"Anyway, I think I know what happened."
"What happened then?"
"From seeing my picture in the newspaper, I think he fainted and is having a flashback. He'll wake up soon."
"Tor! Terra tor!" Torterra said. I then noticed we had forgotten about the pokemon and he was trying to tell us to look up the stairs. I looked and saw Weavile jumping down them, two at a time, and was followed by Electivire, who was helping Paul down the stairs. When they all saw Mom, Weavile eyed her warily but kept going while Electivire and Paul stopped and looked at her, surprised.
"Vire elec?" Electivire asked, using one of his two tails to point at Mom.
"Her name's Mewlin, Electivire, if you asked that. And Paul, I'm glad you're finally awake." I told him. When he heard Mom's name, I saw him stiffen slightly.
"Mewlin? You mean..." he asked, trailing off. I nodded just as Weavile reached me.
"Vile wea, weawea vile weavile vile. Vile wea weavile vile wea, weavile?" she told me, then asked.
"I'm important because I'm their mom, Weavile." Mom interrupted. Weavile and Electivire looked shocked before glancing between me, her, and Paul. And how can she understand the pokemon?! This makes no sense! At all!
"Now that both of you are here, I also need to ask if you both could come to Pallet Town in the Kanto Region. I can't explain right now, but I will once you get there." she continued before getting her shoes and heading out the door. I looked at Paul for a minute before heading to the door and open it. I looked out, but didn't see her anywhere. I then closed the door back before going back into the living room and sitting down in one of the chairs.
"Vire vire... electivire." Electivire said after a little while.
"If you said that was interesting, Electivire, I agree. That was really abrupt." I agreed with the Thunderbolt Pokemon.
"Wea weavile weavile wea vile vile wea." Weavile said. I wish I could understand her like Mom could. But, I think she might have said: 'No beating around the bush with her.' Not sure, though, since I don't understand pokemon well, only a few words.
"Reggie," Paul said, getting my attention, "I want to go, but are you going to come with me?" Wait, did he just ask me something?! Is that even the real Paul?!
"Paul, are you alright? Asking me something doesn't seem like you."
"I know, but... If Mom is telling us to go to Kanto, we need to go. We haven't seen her for ten years and I don't want to lose her again."
"Tor terra tor tor, terra." Torterra said, walking over to Paul's side now that he was at the bottom of the stairs. Because of that, he also gave Electivire a chance to rest. Electivire thanked him before going over to sit on the couch, letting out a long sigh.
"Elec, electivire." he told Torterra. Torterra nodded, then said: "Terra torterra."
"Well, if you're going, I'm coming too. For one thing, I don't want to lose her again either. For another, I'm not letting you go alone." I told him, smiling. He just nodded then turned away. Oh Paul, why don't you do socialize anymore, especially with me? I wish I had my old brother back...
Another chapter at last! Ta-Da! Review and I'll see you later!
