I DON'T OWN ANYTHING
Finally, bianca and cheren is getting their pov in this chapter.
Cheren's pov
I haven't spoked with either bianca or touya, since that incident. I don't know what to say, I felt bad for the gym leader burgh, who put his life at risk and tried his best to take the important artifact back but ended up dead, for touya who didn't saw anything but the job that was given to him, and for touko who is still trying to be strong. And what am I doing, even though I did helped touya but still...I am feeling very low. I feel like being useless, a piece of crap that shouldn't have existed.
I looked at the sea, while standing at prime pier. ' Bianca, tried to kill touko ' I still can't believe it but why would touya lie to me about something like that. "He likes her,right?" I mumbled to myself. My xtransceiver rang and bianca's named popped up. "Hello!" she said, in a excitement " cheren, I won my second badge see..." she showed and then frowned "I tried calling touya but he is not picking up the call, do you know the reason?" "..." "cheren, why aren't you saying anything?" I didn't said anything, 'should I ask her directly?... no,touya might not like it' I hanged up the call and switched off my xtransceiver.
"What should I do?" I put my hand over my eyes and said "touya or bianca...why...why are you two not talking out things " I looked back at the sea "servine, come out" she came out and I kneeled down and pat her head "servine, are you happy with your trainer,...your trainer, who is not able to say anything in this matter " I know I won't get an answer but I continued "I tried talking with touya but talking with him in this matter is equivalent to talking with a wall".
He would just hung up the call. Suddenly I got an idea. I switched on my xtransceiver and called both of them but as soon as I realized something, I just switched it off again. "It is completely stupid to call both of them at same time,as he can see the name" I don't even know their address, I kicked a pebble into the water.
"Cheren " I turned around and saw that touko is walking towards me with her pokemon's out of their ball. "What are you doing here?" she asked, "nothing...just, having a stroll" I don't know how to talk about all of the incident which she probably trying to repress in her mind. She is weak, her outer appearance says that, by just looking at her a person could tell she will collapse at any moment.
"Touko " she looked at me "I...I was just now, wondering...that, may I come to your apartment?" she just folded her arms and then said it with little anger " cheren, do you think we are strangers?" "n..no" "then why are you asking such a stupid question, we are friends obviously you may come" I didn't know what to say here but I followed her.
"So, you live in downtown?" I asked her in elevator, their floor was 26th " no, I am living here for now because this is the flat that dad gave touya as a gift, I usually stay at the mansion that is on the outskirts " she explained 'rich people ' I thought but I also noticed that she was not showing off like others, it is more like a friend is saying to a friend.
"You know, " she turned to look at me as soon as we reached at their room "you should learn how to speak truth " she said in a little sad tone, "h...how do you-" " I just know...I am your friend after all,...you want to know about that incident, right?" I nodded and she just gave a smile and said "I wasn't able to believe it either...Bianca was a nice person to me...but suddenly on that unfortunate day..." she didn't continue and just rang the bell.
Her mom opened the door, "oh, cheren...welcome...if I'd knew you were coming then I would have..." " mom, he came to meet touya...though I brought him here" "that means-" I tried asking but touko interrupted "actually, touya is still in hospital and I had some business to do so I came here, but don't worry it is just a small thing that I will do and come back once it is over...till then-" " no problem...I will wait". She came just after ten minutes.
On our way we didn't made any conversation and even after reaching at hospital. "Oh,touko...and cheren " he was surprised to see me there, I waved towards him and asked "how are you feeling now?" "better than few days ago " he said with a happy face "well...,touya, I need to talk with you...about the incident with...touko " he frowned, "why?" 'he seems to be angry ' I tried to gather up the courage to talk with him about it. "Touya, please listen...he just wants to talk and...if it is because of me that you are avoiding to speak about it then I will leave" touko said.
"It is,not like that but...uh,...okay, cheren speak up" touya said, obviously he didn't had any choice but to listen. "Touya, Bianca is calling me again and again, she won the second badge and asked me about you" "then" " I didn't said anything, but just felt weird about the way she was acting...it felt like, she don't even remember anything "
He didn't said anything for a minute and then replied with pure disgust, " I don't believe her, she is a liar...a liar who betrayed her own friend " " it might be possible that it is just a misunderstanding " "it is not !" he yelled loudly and then coughed, but after calming down he again started, "I don't think that she is innocent, there is even a camera footage about the incident...I and nurse joy, we both saw in that footage that bianca was taking touko somewhere...and even touko saw it. Do you not believe in touko?" he said and all I could do was stare at my feet.
"Touya " touko called, "why don't you just speak with her?...just once " she tried pursuing him but he was dead serious about not talking with her or even seeing her. We tried convincing him but everything was in vain because even though we want to believe in bianca, the camera footage always shows us the reality...the truth.
Bianca's pov
I learnt about the news of burgh's death after I earned my second badge, but after many days I came in contact with cheren. 'It seems everyone is avoiding me ' I tried calling my mom but she didn't picked up my calls, my dad might not even want to see me, and my friends are hiding something from me and avoiding me.
Even my own pokemon whom I trained to be tough always loses and because of that they are not obedient at all. 'You are a liar, miss!' a little school girl said this to me a few days ago when I failed to protect her pokemon from team plasma. "You are looking down, kid" I saw an old man with pale green hair and one red eye, "um, who are you, mister?" "I am ghetsis, a trainer like you" he looked like some kind of veteran trainer.
"Are you perhaps feeling low because you lose in battles " I was astonished by his answer "how do you?" he laughed and said "because, just by looking at you a person could tell, such a big loser" he laughed again and suddenly a dark fog came and all I saw was darkness for a moment and then I saw my parents.
"Mom, dad" they turned towards me and made a disgusted face " don't call us that" mom said " such a weakling can't be our daughter " dad said. Then the scenario changed and I saw professor Juniper, " it was a mistake bianca...I shouldn't have given you that pokemon, instead it should be touko" she made the expression like she regrets giving me this opportunity.
Then what I saw is that I fell in a pit and my friends and pokemons are leaving me, they didn't seemed to care about me. They didn't even cared to take a glance at me. When I woked up, ghetsis was gone and so my pokemons, plus I was at the exit point of pinwheel forest. The only feeling was being scared and anxious about the situation that I am in.
Done with this chapter...well,as for Bianca it is just a beginning, so it might be confusing for all the readers for now.
