5 Recovering
After a dark entrance, a blinding light strikes my eyes since it is still adjusted to the dark entrance. after i kept walking towards the light. hoping to get the feel of nostalgia...
for what i see... is a different city.
as i feel my eyes getting comfortable by the light. i see a huge brick road, with the buildings modern, but still vintage. a blaring Tower seen from afar, giving eyes and a symbol of revolutionary inventions. my jaw dropped as i see many citizens walking at the streets.
this place...
"wha-" i gasped in disbelief, even Gallade did.
then i quickly got my mind back.
"o-okay, let's get to our new house." i said as i started walking on the streets,
"let's not get separated" Gallade added as he walks behind me.
this place is very crowded, making me blend in with the citizens.
...
this place is not what i remembered...
is it still here?
"Urgh... It's cold" Gallade said shivered. unprotected from the wind, even with these many poeple walking.
"Hey it's okay, we'll get to our house" i replied, Gallade only looked at me a bit, we're walking towards the tower since our house was near it.
...
this might take time.
//////
To be honest... seing the tower this close amaze me...
The amount of windows that are layered at the tower can catch all of the city and the sky reflection. The fact that our house is near this tower is almost too expensive to even offer...
But i guess that's because of my dad.
The location of our house was southeast from the tower. So i walked to that direction.
Then i see Gallade shivering a bit.
"It's alright, we're almost there" i said.
Gallade nodded back.
then, after walking around the tower, our house is seen. the roof is made out of bricks, the walls are too, but it was covered and smoothened by cement, then colored white. thankfully it wont be tainted easily since it is a special kind of paint. the house have two windows at the front and only 1 floor. the door is a thick looking vintage door, seperating from the guest room. a fence is also is in front of the building it self, and behind the fence is a garden filled with many kind of flowers and berries.
a gardener sometimes come to this place to take care of the garden.
i think the Butler is in there-
wait, he passed away... man, i really liked him.
anyways after i stopped thinking about the butler i come to the door of the house and brought out the keys that mom gave me.
then i turned the key...
"Clack!"
the key turned with a hard resistance, this door might be old. then i opened the door and see the small guest room. two chairs facing closely at the small table, and a showcase filled with many trophies.
"Pokemon Master" award.
"Valor Heart" award.
and the-
"Aaa-chih!" a loud squeacky sneeze heard loudly behind me and a sudden blow felt on my back. i turned around to see Gallade rubbing his face.
"did you just sneezed?" i said quite surprised
"yes" he added plainly, Lucario looked at him quite confused on what just happened.
"why is it like that?" i added jokely, this is the first time that Gallade actually sneezed...
very cute :3
"i'm not sure" Gallade added again.
"okay, i put my stuff down. then i'll get some medicene" i said with pointing my thumb at the other side of the Guest room, which is the Dining room.
"okay" Gallade said.
then i walked towards another wooden door, but it doesn't have any locks. i turned the knob and pushed it. i see a long table. with eight chairs align on the sides and 1 each edge. it's made out of wood... a different kind of wood that is used at the doors as well. i looked up to see an electric chandelier. it is very beautiful, a glass shrapnels hangs forming a circle with what seemed liked and internal explosion. how did my Father got this?
anyways...
(Official drawing is only available at Wattpad... Sorry)
as you can see in this drawing. the dining room is connected with the Living room and the Kitchen. The bed room is large by it self with a queen bed. The bathroom is small and the storage room is small as well. But the storage is mostly used for laundry and heat adjustment.
Also i got this print thanks to mom.
I turned on the lights as the chandelier lights up in a beautiful explosion like colors. I turned right to the living room and put downmy bag at the side of the sofa. then i head towards the curtain and open it. A bright light sets in the Living room as it brings warmth to the house.
Seing the bottom of the tower is kinda-
"Aaa-chih!" Another sneeze interupt my thoughts. But also bring a much more important one. I turned my head to see Gallade sits down at the couch still shivering, warming himself rubbing his arms, Lucario looks at Gallade in concern.
...
I brought my self courage and said:
"Gallade, I... I'm sorry for what happened at route 4"
"It's alright. I lose focus on that thing anyways" Gallade said in a lower tone.
"So are were cool" i added with a feel pf fear.
"Of course, i'm already fine w-" then the telepathy cuts off as Gallade face seems disturbed.
"Aaa-chih!" He sneezed again. then Lucario sits with him and began comforting him by patting Gallade in the back. I was genuinely surprised to see Lucario act... Gallade is confused as well. But felt comfort by Lucario help.
I huff out some air before saying a word.
"Okay then, i'm gonna get some food and medicine while Gallade is resting. Lucario" i said as Lucario looks at me.
"you stay in here and watch gallade, and if something goes wrong" i picked up the blue Pokeball then put down on the coffe table.
"Call him out, okay?" Gallade and Lucario nodded. I walkeg through the dining room and headed towards the guest room. After opening the door between the guest room and dining room, i see the showcase again filled with my fathers trophies while opening the door to get out of the house.
I don't know how he got those trophies...
He's a very different person...
...
I didn't lock the door incase that if i come back late. Then i started walking towards the nearest shops...
I wonder if he's there?
/////
I'm finally at the shopping district. many shops are in place, most of them are selling ice cream, bread, fruits, and many more. after i am looking for a familiar face...
Then i found someone much more closer instead. I noticed it when i see the old both that i used to come...
i saw a teen selling some fruits, he has a brown hair, brown eyes, white shirt, and a light blue apron, i didn't know what pants he is wearing since it is covered by the tall booth.
"Hey, is that you Justin?" The familiar teen called my name from affar, without any second thought i reply. trusting that he won't reveal me.
"Kyle!" I shouted his name as well as i walked towards him.
"Long time no see bro" Kyle replied
"It's been years i haven't see you, how are you!"
"I'm fine, are you?"
"Yeah!" Kyle said
"Wait, why are you keeping the shop, aren't your shopkeeper that your father hired supposed to be here?" i asked
"oh, she is busy taking care of her kids, since they got sick, i heard it's really bad, so i may stay here for quite a while,"
"oh... yeah, hope they will get well soon" i replied, scratching my head, quite regretted saying that.
"oh! how is your training to becoming a trainer," i asked the long thing i've after.
"pretty well!" Kyle smiled.
"oh! then good luck!"
"your welcome" he said smiling, pleased.
then i remembered something.
"anyways, can i have some apples," i said as i pointed at the booth filled with apples, since i am after them anyways.
"oh of course," then he began taking the apples on the booth,
"oh, and put it here" i showed him a marketing bag
"so you bring your bag too, that's good!"
"haha, you gotta use less plastic right" i said with a smile proudly
"So, how was your day of being an explorer," he ask
"It's very great, also i just found a new friend in route 3" i slipped out.
"What you mean is a human or..."
"Pokemon," i clarify
"Heh, of course" he grin at me?
then i started walking away with the apple...
Then kyle added something.
"Oh, and i got something for you" i stopped and looked at him.
"Here, take this," he said giving me a plastic bag filled with Malasadas
"Oh! Thank you very much!" I thanked him,
free food? i wonder why?
"isn't this from Alola" i said. then Kyle replied
"Yeah, my mom made it by herself"
"wow- Wait, shouldn't i pay?" I questioned
"Oh, you don't need to pay! Everything is free because of.- ya know!" i suddenly feel regret of saying that.
"yeah-yeah..." i said in a sad tone.
"what's wrong?" he asked
"nothing" i added, hoping to end this conversation. i started walking away from him...
"is it because he's gone?" Kyle's word made me freeze...
"Yeah... see you next time" i said to him, only looking at him with my right eye shining from the shadow that my hoodie made.
Kyle seemed shocked to see me?
"Y-Yeah! See you next time!" then kyle waved at me while i walked away. i can see that he forced his smile because of what happened recently...
i shouldn't have say it with that reaction...
...
ok...
now...
to the pokemon center...
////////
i didn't need to tell you what happened on the pokemon center, nothing really interesting happened... To be honest, i never thought Gallade could catch a cold, i thought Pokemon would never get a common like sickness, maybe since Gallade is human-like... does a Gallade have organs like a human? Nah, that might be too weird, and why would i need to find out about it anyways. also, I bought a pokemon cold medicine, it was rather expensive, but thanks to dad, i have enough money to buy it without any feel of loss...
then i noticed that i have walked my all over to our house again...
that was quick...
after i opened the door and locked it from the inside, i dropped all of the stuff on the dining table, making a bit of a mess. then i moved to the living room and see Gallade and Lucario sleeping together...
and Lucario rest his head on Gallade lap, while Gallade sleeps upright, they seemed so peaceful...
especially for Lucario, looks like it's been a long time since it have this kind of comfort...
(sigh) i really don't wanna wake them up but... i have too.
maybe not waking up Lucario if possible? so i walked closer to them sleeping on the couch.
then I wake up Gallade by tapping him in his forehead,
"lade..." he groaned a bit. then he slowly opens his eyes, now halfway...
"Do you have... The medicine?" Gallade said tiredly, which i replied.
"Yes, I do have it" then i pointed my thumb towards the dining room, Gallade moans a bit as i see his watery eyes. then slides away from Lucario, now Lucario head is resting at the couch, then he walks to the dining room while i was following him. after i ransacked the bag to get the medicine, i look back to see Gallade sitting at the chair, still half awake. and somehow, he didn't realized that i am ransacking this loud plastic bag just to get the medicine...
he really is unaware at stuff if he's tired...
the bottle is very small since it's a one drink thing.
after i open the lid to come to Gallade.
"Hey!" i said waking him up.
Gallade looks at me a straightened his back, he notices the scent of the medicine and seemed interested.
"here's the medicine, you'll need to finish it" i said as i handed it to him. he takes the bottle and started looking at it.
"that one is not bitter, i made sure" i added
"i can smell that" Gallade added. then he quickly drinks it without stopping, quite surprised! that is not sitrus flavor sadly.
"aaaaaa..." Gallade hummed as he finishes the drink.
"that drink doesn't just heal you, it also makes you more powerful!" i added
"really? what effect?" Gallade asked
"well it boost your defense and special defense... i dunno what that really means tho" i added quite unsure
"yeah... humans don't make sense" he said, giggling a bit. i giggled too by his thoughts.
then i added another topic.
"hey, i think i should see if Lucario has any fighting potential, i mean he's new afterall" i added
"do you think he's safe?" Gallade blurted
"Y-yeah! i mean... he's gentle and... sweet" i added, embarrassed. then i noticed Gallade is glaring at me.
"H-hey! it's ok! it won't happened again!" i added
"if it does, i'll get rid of him" Gallade threatened
"what! no!" i yelled defensively
"what's wrong?" another voice suddenly interrupting our argument
i turned towards the Living room to see Lucario looking at us from the opening.
"it's nothing" i said. Gallade sigh madly...
"i'm hungry, can we eat?" Lucario added suddenly
"oh! i'll prepared that for all of you!" i said as i quickly ransacking the bags again.
"can i help?" Lucario said
"sure! you can get the plates" i said. then Lucario walks towards the kitchen. i see Gallade still staring at Lucario strenly... even with how much care that Lucario gives to Gallade, Gallade still can't let go about it...
(sigh) my mood is almost ruined.
///
after setting all 6 of the malasada at the table, one is already given. then i looked back at the plate to see one missing, apparently Lucario takes it first. i smiled as he enjoys eating it. Gallade sigh again and takes one too. with excitement i grabbed on and took a big bite!
(munch!) hmmm!!! that is sweet! the pink filling is sweet! wow! Martha's Malasada is the best! oh! Kyle's mom is named Martha by the way.
"this is nice" Gallade added as he takes another bite at it.
"it's delicious!" Lucario said, complementing for the first time!
"thanks!" i said that to Martha.
i looked at the left over malasada...
there's 3 left...
...
maybe if they are still here...
...
we could have-
"Gak!" Gallade suddenly choke on the malasada, then he scratched the back of his head...
then i walked towards him to check if he's fine.
"Gallade! are you alright?" i said worriedly
"i'm fine... just got choked because of a headache" he added something that i was really worried about...
i looked at the back of his head to check...
...
the scar is not there anymore...
...
(sigh)
suddenly Gallade stand up from the chair and looked at me worried.
"it's alright, i'm fine" Gallade said, trying to be positive.
"y-yeah" i stuttered... still concerned about it...
...
then i noticed that Lucario is already finished and looking at us curious.
i came to him and pet his head just to be more comfortable... Lucario seemed to like it.
...
you really do remind me of him do you...
...
anyways, after we finished eating and... that... i got to my bed, changed my clothes and started dozing of the bed...
Gallade sleeps at the couch on the living room... but he want's that!
anyways... i'm getting more tired...
i looked to my right and see Lucario sleeping on the small bed for four legged creatures... even though it's not really for a Lucario but it seems fitting, and Lucario is comfortable by it. that bed was supposed...
to be...
for...
...
zzzz...
[}{] [}{] [}{] [}{] [}{]
"Urgh, No! We have to get them out!" i Shouted in pain as i tried to get back in a fiery house... with Gallade holding me back, and a purple clotch pulling me back
"Let go of m-"
"BOOM!" The house exploded...
...
then everything went black...
...
...
Who did this?
[}{] [}{] [}{] [}{] [}{]
"(Gasp)"I Began panting as i was sweating in the bed, the pillow is wet because of my sweat, i went to look at the other bed and see that Lucario is not there anymore, in panic i got up and quickly dash through the dining room and into the bathroom instantly... i hoped that they didn't see me in this mess. i stand and looked at the mirror to see my traumatized face...
i'm clearly shaking...
...
it's ok...
breathe...
it's just the past! it's not present anymore!
"g-guhhh" i suddenly moaned! i didn't do that!
calm down! damn it!
"(hic) uuhhh" am i... crying?
wait... don't tell me that those are... my tears?
why so much! what's wrong with me!
"Gallade?" Gallade said knocking the door... why can't i hear what he said? why!?
"i-im fine... i'm going to take a shower" i somehow managed to say.
"Lade." Gallade said leaving the door...
i looked at the mirror again and see my normal self again...
...
what just happened?
...
(sigh) forget about it, i'll clean myself...
...
i smell like trash.
////
after cleaning and controlling myself again. I take the clothing that i have already put im the bath room... don't tell me when i took it there.
I have set a red shirt and cargo pants. Yeah it's a weird one... after putting my new clothes on, i got out of the bathroom with a much more small towel wrap on my neck, the hot water made my body much more warmer, thus when i reveal my self to the much more cooler outside. I feel a cold instantly. But luckly my body adjusted quickly.
Then i realized that Gallade is looking at me with concern.
"What happened?" Gallade ask
"Nothing" i shrugged
Gallade crosses his arms
"Is it the nightmare again?"
"Uh... yeah" i admitted
"Didn't a... therapist already deal with that?"
"Yeah... not sure why it's back" i said scratching my head
"Whofst theffavist?" Lucario said weirdly, i turned to see him with a Malasada already on his jaw, Lucario said with a full mouth... seriously, that's dumb but... cute...
"I'll tell you later" i said as i come to tye bedroom again to change my clothing and prepare to go out. After using my jacket again. I picked up the belt of pokeballs that i set on the table near the bed and ready to go out.
To train Lucario.
As i open the doorsl, i see Gallade right in front of me again.
"Where are you going?" Gallade said blocking my way.
"I'm leaving to train Lucario" i said plainly
Gallade showed a shocked reaction when listened... but quickly let me through after accepting.
"Lucario, let's go!" I said as i picked up the bag from the couch at the Living room.
"Mffft!" Lucario tried to reply in a bit of a hurry with a Malasada still on his jaw.
Then i head towards the guest ro-
"Wait!" Gallade suddenly called.
I stopped and turned around to see another Malasada coming to my face. With reflex i quickly catched it before it hit's my face.
"Eat that too" Gallade said
"Yeah, thanks!"
"Why can't i come too?" Gallade ask
"You're still sick... technically, just rest here for now. Plus i'll be fine, no need to worry about me" i said smiling
"Ok then, be safe" Gallade says his good bye.
"I'll be" i said waving as i open the front door with my right free hand
"Bye!" Lucario said clearly after finally finishing the malasada.
Ok...
Let's do this!
"Sir, the target is moving"
"Keep an eye on them"
