Chapter 3 What should I go by?
How should I know?
Chapter 3: What should I go by?
I thought of something as I made my way across the soft grass. 'I can't remember my name.' The small beast on my back was sleeping very gently. I shook my head at the thought of this that thing being so strong and knocking me for a loop when we fought, but I needed to know her on a more personal note. Like how she got to be so strong and why was she caring a pokeball on her and she said that we only slow her down.
By this time I was starting to become rather tired from the walking, not from her, she almost didn't weigh anything as I tried to struggle to keep going. It felt like I've been walking for hours and that town that looked so close wasn't getting any closer. By that point I just thought 'Screw it,' and decided to make camp at the nearest tree I saw. There was a stick hanging out the ground that made decide set her down next to it and curl up around her and the stick so at least she would have something to lie on if her back cramped up. At that moment I passed out myself, as my consciousness left me I went to sleep very frustrated on the thought of 'Who the hell am I.'
Night started to engulf the land as I felt a kick to my right side I slid across the field, eyes now wide open. I bared my fangs and let out a loud roar as trying to threaten the assaulter. When I saw who it was I let out a sigh of somewhat a relief, but then the anger inside started to build. It was Krystal with a smug frown on her face. She looked at me and said "What the hell am I doing on the ground again, why aren't I in town like I instructed you to. I thought you said I could trust you and yet I find myself against a sign post!"
I looked back at her with the same frown and said "Whoa first off where is this coming from, secondly I'm a living being not some freaky android like yourself that can break the sound barrier when running, third of all who the hell are you to order someone around like this; I carried your ass out of the goodness in my heart, so as far I am concern I'm the most trustworthy person here..." I said with much anger in my eyes only to be interrupted in the middle of my counter scolding.
She closed her emerald colored eyes and looked at me with great sadness. I didn't think anything could hurt this small beast, at least not what I had to say. I felt a little bad so I started making my towards her, at that time she bald her fist up very tightly. Then puffed her cheeks out then started running fast towards me and grabbed me by the wrist, but it wasn't rough...
I felt a light tug on my arm as I looked down to her she seemed to have tears flowing down her eyes. Now this felt a lot worse than any physical punishment that she could dish out to me, to think that this beast had such a vulnerable side it her. I started to lift a hand on her on head, but she caught it and gently cupped her face on it instead. Tears started to run down my hand as I held it out for her.
I broke the one sided emotional silence and asked her, "What's wrong Krystal why are you crying, if its anything that I said, that was only do to the way that you had awakened me, I didn't really mean anything by it." I said trying to not only make her feel better but myself as well.
She looked up to me and said, "This is the only time you'll ever see me cry, I almost let never out my emotions and it feels good to do so every once and a while you know. It sometimes makes me feel like a normal girl." She looked at me with a smile.
I looked away in a blush because she looked very cute while she looked at me. I then looked back at her and asked, "What do you mean by a 'normal girl, 'you are a normal girl in my eyes and some what a cutie at that. She punched me in my side; I winced at the pain and said, "Ouch what was that for? I was thinking training could be held off till morning Krystal."
She looked at me with a large red blush stretch across her ebony shade face, then looked at the ground and said, "Don't patronize me, I know what I am and what I can do, and I don't need my Pokémon to tell me that. Besides you lazy bum the reason I kicked you was because you sat me next to the sign post of the town that's just up ahead..."she said with a serious look on her face.
A very long wind passed behind me as I looked at her with a very dull look in my eye. I turned around and said, "I got really tired and didn't notice the sign..."
I looked back at her and took a deep sigh, I felt like this is too much for someone with amnesia to handle, but feeling that wouldn't help myself in this situation. I looked toward the dark felt sky, I then began to think what if I deserved this, what if this is something I must bear to atone for something I once done in the past.
Then I shook my head at the though, I look back at the beast wondering how long was she gonna stand there looking at me. I broke the somewhat awkward silence by saying, "So what kind of town are we heading into and will it have a proper place for us to sleep?" I said with a concerned look in my face.
She said with a shrug, "Hell if I know I've never been outside of Blackthorn City, I've been traveling for a while now think it's been about a week now. I passed by a few other towns before I ended up in Ilex forest where you saved me." She said as she approached me from behind and patted me on the back roughly. "But don't let that go to your head I was really tired from before." She said smiling.
I looked at her and said, "Mind if we walked and talked?"
She looked at me with a smug smile and said, "Aww isn't that cute the Pokémon wants to get with his master, sure I guess haven't actually talked to anyone in a while it'll be nice to let things out." She said with the same smug smile on her face and now stretching for the walk ahead.
As we started walking it was silent at first till I broke the ice. "So how did you end up in that position with the entire forest trying to kill you?" I asked her with a serious look in my face.
She looks down the road and started to giggle, as we started to enter the city of Golden Rod. The lights of the city lit up the night sky as if the sun were out. The light of the city wonderful I was starting to enjoy the moment when I felt a small hand tap me on the arm. It was Krystal with a frown on her face looking towards the city. She looked at me and said, "To bright and noisy..."
From the expression I made almost seem like a huge question mark appeared over my head. I looked down at her and said, "I got it, I think I get you now!"
She looked at me confused, wondering what the heck I was babbling about.
I took a few steps in front of her and used my claws to point at her and said, "You're a vampire/ninja sent out by your clan of Pokémon fighters to kill someone, but was fought off and left in the forest where you tried to make up for lost ground and cut through a nest of scyther's. You were attacked and that's where I saved you, am I great at piecing things together or what!"
She looked at me and started laughing very hard in my face which caused me to look down at the ground disappointed. Once she stopped laughing she said, "I thought you have amnesia are you kidding me are you doing some kind of drug while I'm not looking?" She said placing her hands on her hips and bending over to look at me under eyed. She continued to say, "You're an idiot you know that, the reason I don't wanna come here is because it's really noisy, and bright. I prefer quieter places to sleep."
I snapped at her and said, "Don't call me an idiot I'm my best to focus and remember things about myself here, and last I checked normal girls aren't supposed to be as beastly strong or as fast as you are. I'm keep trying to remember myself, but all I keep thinking about is you. I mean something's are still confusing to me, but you're at the top of that list."
She looked at me with tears building in her eyes and said, "So you think I'ma freak huh?" She said with tears running down her face.
I looked away from her and said, "No, if anyone is a freak here would be me, but I do want to know more about the person I'm calling my 'Partner' things like 'who you are and where you came from'? If this partnership is gonna work out we need to tell each other everything about ourselves. And I'd like to do that in a room instead of the outdoors." I said with a smile on my face.
She picks up one of my paws and wiped her face with it, and looked to me and said, "Ok, I guess I wouldn't mind putting up with the city for a night. Now let's go look for a room to rest and heal ourselves. She said with a bright cheerful smile spreading across her small ebony face.
As we made our way through the city and checked out several small hotel only to find that they were full. So we made our way deeper into the city, lots of bright light began to shine upon us. The heart of the bright lights was coming from the game rooms, contest areas, and larger hotels so I did my best not to wonder off from Krystal in all the wonders of the city.
When I looked down to her she was hold her head trying to keep pace with me and I was walking upright. So I decided to offer an arm for her to lean on as we walked, she grabbed without a second thought and held on tightly as if her life depended on it. I thought to myself 'Why does a small beast such as herself so troubled by all this if anything its making me wanna explore it a little more.' But the way she was looking it'd be best for us to settle in somewhere and quick.
Lot of people was laughing, yelling, and having plain old fun. As we kept walking I saw a large hotel building I wanted to go inside, but something was telling not to though. I was starting to become irritated at the feeling but decided to ignore it. As we approached the building something kept bugging me not to go in, and that when it hit me, "I have no money." I said to myself in pondering state.
Krystal took her hand off her head and looked up at me and said, "Don't worry I have money just get me the hell off these streets PLEASE!"
As I started to enter the glass door gently, Krystal pushed the large glass door open much harder than what was needed, almost shattering the glass door as it made a loud slamming sound as it hit the wall. I cringed to myself hoping that no one would pay any mind to us, but in fact we attracted the attention of everyone that was in the lobby area. Krystal didn't seem to mind as she was still holding her head, but a bead of sweat ran down the side of my face because all eyes were upon me. So I didn't make any sudden moves as I entered the inched into the lobby. I quietly made my way into the front counter, and looked at the attendance lady then looked at Krystal.
The attendance women smiled at us then bowed politely and then said "Welcome to our Luxury Hotel, how I may help you two today?" she said with a smile.
Krystal looked at me and notices I didn't say anything, so she let go my arm and shoved me to the side with one of her small fist. She then looked at the lady who was curious about what was going on with the two of us, Krystal then closed her eyes then said to the lady, "I need one room, the nicest one you have and I need it now."
The lady just continued to smile and nod to us, as began typing on her terminal. We waited for about two minutes for her to finish up on her terminal. She looked up at us and showed the total on the screen, my eyes shot wide when I saw that price I assumed my math was still off, because that price was outrageous!
Krystal reached inside her pouch and pulled out a card, handing it toward the attendance lady. She took the card from her and did something with it. I wasn't paying too much mind to her as my jaw nearly touched the ground in AWE while staring as Krystal.
After she was done she handed Krystal back her card. Krystal stored it inside the pouch she had tied on her waist. She patted me on my shoulder with her left hand and tugged me on to the stairs. She immediately grabbed onto my right arm and put her head down on me, guess this meant for me to guide her up the stairs.
Once we traversed the two flights of steps up to our floor, she said "It's the third room on the left." She said while still holding her hand to her head.
I looked at her and said "If this was too much of a problem for you to come here I would have taken us to another hotel or town even. I just didn't want us to sleep on the ground again."
She kept her hand on her head while looking down the hall and said, "Nah it's no problem I wouldn't have want us to keep traveling like that it's not good for us and by us meaning you. Anyways are you a Pokémon you should be used to sleeping on the ground..."
I shook my head as we continued down the hall and said, "I don't think I was always a Pokémon..."
As soon as I said that she dropped her hand from her head and looked at me with a concerned look on her fast, then started laughing till we reached the door. She unlocked the door and reached for the handle and was about to open it, and then stop to say something to me. "Well Mr. Feraligatr your gonna have to explain yourself once we're inside this room and I you, ok we don't need to keep any secrets from each other. Since this isn't a Master > Pokémon relationship and more of a partnership we need to know everything about each other." She said smiling as she placed her other hand on top of her head.
I nodded to her as she opened the door.
When the door was completely opened I was awe struck again, the Beauty of the room was better than being in the water. I felt a hand on back shove me into the room, I dang near fell over as I was trying to catch my balance. Krystal gave a slight giggle at the sight and I did as well from thought of it.
We saw that there was only one bed in the room despite how nice it looked. So I looked at her and said, "Mind sharing a bed tonight." She closed her eyes at me and said in a serious tone, "Do you want to sleep in your ball tonight?"
I shook my head at the question and took a long sigh I saw a couch on the far corner of the room and made my way over to it. Upon jumping back and sitting down, a Pillow flew across the room and hit me in head and made me fall back even faster. I looked up and it was Krystal on the bed giggling with her eyes closed. I smiled at her and said, "Thanks for the pillow; I'll be over there later tonight to steal the rest of them from you!" I said with a smile. She started laughing loudly and said, "Over my dead body!" I smiled at her and said, "That can be arranged..." She started to laugh again.
Once we had settled down she sat up in her bed and said, "I'll order some room service, while we have our talk. Just tell me what you want to eat out of the menu and I'll order it." She said with a smile.
I had a craving for meat so I order a steak out of the menu and she picked a shrimp dish out the menu.
While she was placing the order out of the menu, I was thinking about what I was going to tell her.
She looked back at me when she was done with placing our food order and smiled. I said to her, "I don't want you spending all your money on me I haven't really done anything to earn that kind of treatment." She looked at me with a blush on her face with a smug smile and said, "The room is on me since watched over me for almost two nights and the food is for saving my life. So I'd like to offer that as repayment, but money is no real issue for me because I come from a rich family." She said as again smiled.
"Oh I guess that makes sense, but that something I would think anyone do in that situation." I said, she shook her head, "If people knew the real me like you do they will start calling me horrible names that I just can't take. So I just try to become as strong as I can so they will be too scared to call me such mean things." She said while looking down to the floor. Then looked back up at me and said, "That's the reason I taken an interest to you, all of the other Pokémon I had won't obey me; sometimes I'll lose my tempter and end up hurting them out of frustration." She look took a deep breath then continued by saying, "At the end of the day I just ended up releasing them into the wild where I won't hurt them." She said with a half weak smile.
She continued to say, "That's when a man about two years older than me, sort of muscular, about my color of skin, wearing a white shirt and blue pants, saw me crying on the edge of a cliff. He was sitting next to me by the time I realized that he was there. I immediately jumped up and away from him as he began to start laughing. I stood there waiting for him to make his first move in a fighting stance. He stood up and threw several small rocks at me; I deflected them with my hands, but failed to notice that he right behind them when he threw them. He got really close up to me I close my eyes and braced myself for the pain to come and then for some reason patted me on the shoulders with both of his hands. And started laughing again, then I looked at him really weird like-." She pauses to show me how she looked at him.
I let out a bit of a giggle when she did the face; I nodded for her to continue.
"Anyway I didn't think that for the next three months that I would fall in love with him..." She said with a blush.
I looked at her with a funny look and said, "Love!? You? I thought you to solve most if not all your problem with your fist and feet, but a heart get ou..." was all I able to mutter as another pillow flew toward my face; I manage to catch it in my mouth. I caught the jester as she had her head down when threw it, so I kept my face and mouth shut as she continued.
"Though things started getting rocky with him, he was the only other person I could be myself around. I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him I was his beauty and he was my beast..." she said with a smug smile on her face as if she was remembering the past.
I just sat there and quietly nodding in understanding of her story. Well that and the fact I didn't want to get hit again. I notice that she was starting to become more and friendlier as she went on, not wanting to blow her current state of happy high I kept listening to the conversation with a smile on my face. Because when she's like this she's actually pretty cute.
She went on to say, "Then about a few days ago he started to act funny, even more than he usually did. When I asked him what was wrong with him, he told me that 'if he stayed around me any longer I'd be killed for sure by unknown forces.' At that time I didn't think too much about it I just wanted things to go back to the way they were to the time where I really felt happy with him. What I'm trying to say is I would have done anything for him, and I mean anything. " She closed her eyes and placed both her hands on her face and blushed deeply.
"Later that day when I went to look for him around the town, and he was nowhere to be found so I walked the near the edge of the city limit. When I arrived there and peered into the cave which my parents and townsfolk told me not trail in, but my heart wasn't going to let that stop me." She said with a frown on her face.
"As I navigated my way through the large cage many Pokémon creatures sprang from the darkness and attacked me. I quickly dispatched them as they showed themselves. She said with the same frown on her face.
I know the feeling of the Pokémon after going one on one with her, myself.
"After going through the cave for many hours I felt as if I was reaching the end of the dark hell hole. At the end I of a long hall I saw a shadowy silhouette, standing near the cave door was a familiar figure. I raced for the exit as more Pokémon tried to attack me, but the Pokémon at the exit didn't look to be as if the cave was their natural environment." She said with now a concerned look on her face.
I jerked my head back and pulled the pillow out my mouth and said, "What do you mean 'wasn't their natural environment,' that could only mean that someone sent those Pokémon after you. Do you remember what kind attacked you?"
She looked at me and nodded, "Well I remember one of them being a Politoed and another being a Ninetales. My knowledge on Pokémon may not be that great, but I'm sure those kinds like to live in forest areas."
She continued by saying, "Anyway as I quickly side stepped the both on coming Flamethrower and Hydro Pump, I took the Politoed out with a left hook to the side of the ribs and kicked the Ninetales in its face with my right heel. Both of them dropped as I made my pursuit to my beloved, when I got to the exit there was a bright light and there was nobody to be seen. I fell to my knees and cry by the cave entrance, that's when I notice that there was a marking in the ground saying "Beast" it gave me a new hope to continue my search for him." She said with a smile creeping onto her face.
I nodded to her and smiled back and said, "Basically you were tracking him for another three days, bringing you pass several towns and then that brush with the Scyther's and Pincers attack. But what I don't understand you super strong and faster, you should have been able to handle them quickly." I said with a concerned look on my face.
She looked at me and blushed then said, "Well I could have but you see I've been fighting up to the point that I met you..."
My eyes widen as I stood up and said, "You mean for the ten minutes that I didn't see you right?!"
She took her index placed it on her lip and looked up at the roof then said, "I think it was a lot longer than that, I think I've been fighting for about a day till you found me, they were really persistent little bugs."
My jaw nearly hit the ground when I heard that, then I thought to myself about our little fight in the wood and why she paused after she tried to stomp my head in. 'She was probably still tired from the day before, too have that much power is insane. I most likely would not survive a full strength all-out fight against someone like her.' I thought to myself as I took a big gulp.
She continued by saying, "And that my story for now, if you survive your training tomorrow I might help you unlock your true power within you. I just have this great feeling about you, that's why I wanna help you."
She looked at me and pointed at and said, "Now it's time for you to spill your guts and tell me everything!" she loudly as she stood up.
At that moment someone knocked on our room door and said, "Room service!"
I blinked thanking him in my head, for interrupting that awkward moment.
She looked at the door and said, "Coming!" then looked back at me and said, "This isn't over once we're done eating you're gonna tell me everything you remember or else I'll pull the food back out of you." She said with a mean look in her face.
She went to the door and opened it; the waiter rowed the tabled inside and said, "Here's your meal mam." He said with a smile. As held out his hand for a tip.
She grabs his hand and began to twist it counter clockwise and said, "You want a tip, here's a tip: don't ask for a tip from me!" With that she shoved him out of the room and closed the door behind him and flicked some of her curly hair with left hand then looked at me and said, "Well Mr. Feraligatr you ready to eat."
I looked at her and said, "Please stop calling me that. Could you perhaps think of a name for me? At least till I get my memories back."
She looked at me and mumbled to herself, "Hmmm...what should you go by for now....I got it!"
I started to give her a weird look and she said, "For now on you shall go by 'Ferali!'
I looked at her and let out a giggle, as I walked toward her as she sat our plates down at the table where we ate in silence.Chapter End Notes:thank you for reading see you again everyone.

So I decided to offer an arm for her to lean on as we walked, she grabbed without a second thought and held on tightly as if her life depended on it. I thought to myself 'Why does a small beast such as herself so troubled by all this if anything its making me wanna explore it a little more.' But the way she was looking it'd be best for us to settle in somewhere and quick.
Lot of people was laughing, yelling, and having plain old fun. As we kept walking I saw a large hotel building I wanted to go inside, but something was telling not to though. I was starting to become irritated at the feeling but decided to ignore it. As we approached the building something kept bugging me not to go in, and that when it hit me, "I have no money." I said to myself in pondering state.
Krystal took her hand off her head and looked up at me and said, "Don't worry I have money just get me the hell off these streets PLEASE!"
As I started to enter the glass door gently, Krystal pushed the large glass door open much harder than what was needed, almost shattering the glass door as it made a loud slamming sound as it hit the wall. I cringed to myself hoping that no one would pay any mind to us, but in fact we attracted the attention of everyone that was in the lobby area. Krystal didn't seem to mind as she was still holding her head, but a bead of sweat ran down the side of my face because all eyes were upon me. So I didn't make any sudden moves as I entered the inched into the lobby. I quietly made my way into the front counter, and looked at the attendance lady then looked at Krystal.
The attendance women smiled at us then bowed politely and then said "Welcome to our Luxury Hotel, how I may help you two today?" she said with a smile.
Krystal looked at me and notices I didn't say anything, so she let go my arm and shoved me to the side with one of her small fist. She then looked at the lady who was curious about what was going on with the two of us, Krystal then closed her eyes then said to the lady, "I need one room, the nicest one you have and I need it now."
The lady just continued to smile and nod to us, as began typing on her terminal. We waited for about two minutes for her to finish up on her terminal. She looked up at us and showed the total on the screen, my eyes shot wide when I saw that price I assumed my math was still off, because that price was outrageous!
Krystal reached inside her pouch and pulled out a card, handing it toward the attendance lady. She took the card from her and did something with it. I wasn't paying too much mind to her as my jaw nearly touched the ground in AWE while staring as Krystal.
After she was done she handed Krystal back her card. Krystal stored it inside the pouch she had tied on her waist. She patted me on my shoulder with her left hand and tugged me on to the stairs. She immediately grabbed onto my right arm and put her head down on me, guess this meant for me to guide her up the stairs.
Once we traversed the two flights of steps up to our floor, she said "It's the third room on the left." She said while still holding her hand to her head.
I looked at her and said "If this was too much of a problem for you to come here I would have taken us to another hotel or town even. I just didn't want us to sleep on the ground again."
She kept her hand on her head while looking down the hall and said, "Nah it's no problem I wouldn't have want us to keep traveling like that it's not good for us and by us meaning you. Anyways are you a Pokémon you should be used to sleeping on the ground..."
I shook my head as we continued down the hall and said, "I don't think I was always a Pokémon..."
As soon as I said that she dropped her hand from her head and looked at me with a concerned look on her fast, then started laughing till we reached the door. She unlocked the door and reached for the handle and was about to open it, and then stop to say something to me. "Well Mr. Feraligatr your gonna have to explain yourself once we're inside this room and I you, ok we don't need to keep any secrets from each other. Since this isn't a Master > Pokémon relationship and more of a partnership we need to know everything about each other." She said smiling as she placed her other hand on top of her head.
I nodded to her as she opened the door.
When the door was completely opened I was awe struck again, the Beauty of the room was better than being in the water. I felt a hand on back shove me into the room, I dang near fell over as I was trying to catch my balance. Krystal gave a slight giggle at the sight and I did as well from thought of it.
We saw that there was only one bed in the room despite how nice it looked. So I looked at her and said, "Mind sharing a bed tonight." She closed her eyes at me and said in a serious tone, "Do you want to sleep in your ball tonight?"
I shook my head at the question and took a long sigh I saw a couch on the far corner of the room and made my way over to it. Upon jumping back and sitting down, a Pillow flew across the room and hit me in head and made me fall back even faster. I looked up and it was Krystal on the bed giggling with her eyes closed. I smiled at her and said, "Thanks for the pillow; I'll be over there later tonight to steal the rest of them from you!" I said with a smile. She started laughing loudly and said, "Over my dead body!" I smiled at her and said, "That can be arranged..." She started to laugh again.
Once we had settled down she sat up in her bed and said, "I'll order some room service, while we have our talk. Just tell me what you want to eat out of the menu and I'll order it." She said with a smile.
I had a craving for meat so I order a steak out of the menu and she picked a shrimp dish out the menu.
While she was placing the order out of the menu, I was thinking about what I was going to tell her.
She looked back at me when she was done with placing our food order and smiled. I said to her, "I don't want you spending all your money on me I haven't really done anything to earn that kind of treatment." She looked at me with a blush on her face with a smug smile and said, "The room is on me since watched over me for almost two nights and the food is for saving my life. So I'd like to offer that as repayment, but money is no real issue for me because I come from a rich family." She said as again smiled.
"Oh I guess that makes sense, but that something I would think anyone do in that situation." I said, she shook her head, "If people knew the real me like you do they will start calling me horrible names that I just can't take. So I just try to become as strong as I can so they will be too scared to call me such mean things." She said while looking down to the floor. Then looked back up at me and said, "That's the reason I taken an interest to you, all of the other Pokémon I had won't obey me; sometimes I'll lose my tempter and end up hurting them out of frustration." She look took a deep breath then continued by saying, "At the end of the day I just ended up releasing them into the wild where I won't hurt them." She said with a half weak smile.
She continued to say, "That's when a man about two years older than me, sort of muscular, about my color of skin, wearing a white shirt and blue pants, saw me crying on the edge of a cliff. He was sitting next to me by the time I realized that he was there. I immediately jumped up and away from him as he began to start laughing. I stood there waiting for him to make his first move in a fighting stance. He stood up and threw several small rocks at me; I deflected them with my hands, but failed to notice that he right behind them when he threw them. He got really close up to me I close my eyes and braced myself for the pain to come and then for some reason patted me on the shoulders with both of his hands. And started laughing again, then I looked at him really weird like-." She pauses to show me how she looked at him.
I let out a bit of a giggle when she did the face; I nodded for her to continue.
"Anyway I didn't think that for the next three months that I would fall in love with him..." She said with a blush.
I looked at her with a funny look and said, "Love!? You? I thought you to solve most if not all your problem with your fist and feet, but a heart get ou..." was all I able to mutter as another pillow flew toward my face; I manage to catch it in my mouth. I caught the jester as she had her head down when threw it, so I kept my face and mouth shut as she continued.
"Though things started getting rocky with him, he was the only other person I could be myself around. I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him I was his beauty and he was my beast..." she said with a smug smile on her face as if she was remembering the past.
I just sat there and quietly nodding in understanding of her story. Well that and the fact I didn't want to get hit again. I notice that she was starting to become more and friendlier as she went on, not wanting to blow her current state of happy high I kept listening to the conversation with a smile on my face. Because when she's like this she's actually pretty cute.
She went on to say, "Then about a few days ago he started to act funny, even more than he usually did. When I asked him what was wrong with him, he told me that 'if he stayed around me any longer I'd be killed for sure by unknown forces.' At that time I didn't think too much about it I just wanted things to go back to the way they were to the time where I really felt happy with him. What I'm trying to say is I would have done anything for him, and I mean anything. " She closed her eyes and placed both her hands on her face and blushed deeply.
"Later that day when I went to look for him around the town, and he was nowhere to be found so I walked the near the edge of the city limit. When I arrived there and peered into the cave which my parents and townsfolk told me not trail in, but my heart wasn't going to let that stop me." She said with a frown on her face.
"As I navigated my way through the large cage many Pokémon creatures sprang from the darkness and attacked me. I quickly dispatched them as they showed themselves. She said with the same frown on her face.
I know the feeling of the Pokémon after going one on one with her, myself.
"After going through the cave for many hours I felt as if I was reaching the end of the dark hell hole. At the end I of a long hall I saw a shadowy silhouette, standing near the cave door was a familiar figure. I raced for the exit as more Pokémon tried to attack me, but the Pokémon at the exit didn't look to be as if the cave was their natural environment." She said with now a concerned look on her face.
I jerked my head back and pulled the pillow out my mouth and said, "What do you mean 'wasn't their natural environment,' that could only mean that someone sent those Pokémon after you. Do you remember what kind attacked you?"
She looked at me and nodded, "Well I remember one of them being a Politoed and another being a Ninetales. My knowledge on Pokémon may not be that great, but I'm sure those kinds like to live in forest areas."
She continued by saying, "Anyway as I quickly side stepped the both on coming Flamethrower and Hydro Pump, I took the Politoed out with a left hook to the side of the ribs and kicked the Ninetales in its face with my right heel. Both of them dropped as I made my pursuit to my beloved, when I got to the exit there was a bright light and there was nobody to be seen. I fell to my knees and cry by the cave entrance, that's when I notice that there was a marking in the ground saying "Beast" it gave me a new hope to continue my search for him." She said with a smile creeping onto her face.
I nodded to her and smiled back and said, "Basically you were tracking him for another three days, bringing you pass several towns and then that brush with the Scyther's and Pincers attack. But what I don't understand you super strong and faster, you should have been able to handle them quickly." I said with a concerned look on my face.
She looked at me and blushed then said, "Well I could have but you see I've been fighting up to the point that I met you..."
My eyes widen as I stood up and said, "You mean for the ten minutes that I didn't see you right?!"
She took her index placed it on her lip and looked up at the roof then said, "I think it was a lot longer than that, I think I've been fighting for about a day till you found me, they were really persistent little bugs."
My jaw nearly hit the ground when I heard that, then I thought to myself about our little fight in the wood and why she paused after she tried to stomp my head in. 'She was probably still tired from the day before, too have that much power is insane. I most likely would not survive a full strength all-out fight against someone like her.' I thought to myself as I took a big gulp.
She continued by saying, "And that my story for now, if you survive your training tomorrow I might help you unlock your true power within you. I just have this great feeling about you, that's why I wanna help you."
She looked at me and pointed at and said, "Now it's time for you to spill your guts and tell me everything!" she loudly as she stood up.
At that moment someone knocked on our room door and said, "Room service!"
I blinked thanking him in my head, for interrupting that awkward moment.
She looked at the door and said, "Coming!" then looked back at me and said, "This isn't over once we're done eating you're gonna tell me everything you remember or else I'll pull the food back out of you." She said with a mean look in her face.
She went to the door and opened it; the waiter rowed the tabled inside and said, "Here's your meal mam." He said with a smile. As held out his hand for a tip.
She grabs his hand and began to twist it counter clockwise and said, "You want a tip, here's a tip: don't ask for a tip from me!" With that she shoved him out of the room and closed the door behind him and flicked some of her curly hair with left hand then looked at me and said, "Well Mr. Feraligatr you ready to eat."
I looked at her and said, "Please stop calling me that. Could you perhaps think of a name for me? At least till I get my memories back."
She looked at me and mumbled to herself, "Hmmm...what should you go by for now....I got it!"
I started to give her a weird look and she said, "For now on you shall go by 'Ferali!'
I looked at her and let out a giggle, as I walked toward her as she sat our plates down at the table where we ate in silence.Chapter End Notes:thank you for reading see you again everyone.
