86 CHAPTER - 36 { Pokemon Movies Have Arrived }

[POV]

I looked out from the window of the hospital and saw the tall skyscrapers scattered around the town as they stood and looked down on the small ones.

The sunlight rayed on the windows of these skyscrapers and reflected on the town. Like mirrors, they appeared showing the struggle of workers who built them.

"Do you… feel pain?"

I turned my head and shifted my eyes from the town view to the woman lying on the white bed, in the white hospital room filled with health equipment and furniture.

"Just slight burning on my skin, no major pain."

She answered, her hands held together and her face blooming with a real and true smile. I nodded my head, then walked and sat on the chair beside the bed.

It's been two days since she was admitted to the hospital in Azalea Town. I already covered the cost of her treatment, which wasn't that much.

Her condition from two days ago has somewhat changed. Before she was sick, dead tired and any delay was death.

Now the colors on her face returned, her blood amount restored, she was no longer tired or in severe pain.

"So, can you explain to me? Why were you tortured, and they also tried to kill you."

I asked her. I knew that Jenny and Qeen, those two were from the secret organization and they were after something unknown.

They kidnapped celebrities, caught pokemon in large numbers, stole Mega Stones and Key Stones, and have huge finances.

Also the advanced tech and artillery.

The woman was silent for a few seconds, some terror in her eyes which she tried to avoid showing to me.

"Don't worry, I am tight. My mouth isn't loose."

She looked at me in response to my words. She bit her lips, sighed and gathered courage. It really was difficult to overcome trauma.

I could see that she was the same. Normal…

"My name is Kokkino Aima. I am a photographer. I sell the photos I capture to various websites, magazines and news.

A few days ago, I came to the forest between Azalea Town and Goldenrod City to find some pokemon for photos. What I didn't expect was to capture a pokemon, a legendary one.

Celebi, the mythical pokemon which can time travel to the past, future and any present.

There were people after it, they saw me and tried to take me away with them. I ran, ran for hours but unfortunately got caught by another group. The two people whom you saw, they were them.

While I was escaping, I deleted all the photos of Celebi that I captured in my camera. I showed the two all the proof, yet they didn't believe it. That's how I got in the condition you saved me…"

Aima shared her story, her eyes red and moist. Her hands were shaking weakly and her head lowered down.

I gently held her hands, no words of consoling came out of my mouth because I had none. I couldn't, or didn't know what to say to her.

"I can't thank you enough. If you hadn't come, I would have…"

She didn't finish her sentence but I knew what she meant to say.

"You should probably return home after you have recovered. I cannot stay here any longer. I hope you stay safe."

I stood up and told her about my departure time. I had to continue on my path. I cannot accompany her anymore.

"I know."

I heard her as I reached the door. Nodding, I stepped out and headed towards my path to continue on my journey.

Later on the same day, a female nurse came into the room to check Aima's health.

"Wow, you are recovering fast! As expected from a young beauty like you."

The nurse smiled and sat on the edge of the bed. Aima and the nurse talked for a while, and a point came when the nurse described how Kota brought her to the hospital.

"You only had a shirt on your body, completely soaked in warm blood. The young man held you in his arms, he was also dyed with your blood. The young man looked really scary as he called out the doctors.

Open wounds were all around on your body, your flesh ripped and tore. Fortunately you didn't suffer any bone fractures or organ damages. It must have been terrifying, alone in the forest, attacked by the deadly and bloodthirsty pokemon."

The nurse was really sad, she placed her hand on Aima's hands and showed her sympathy.

"Pokemon attack?"

Aima, confused and puzzled, asked. The nurse was surprised, then revealed an understanding expression on her face.

"Yes. It looks like you forgot because of the trauma. You were attacked by wild pokemon, the young man saved you on time. You don't have to worry, forget about this incident, and move on. Not everyone is lucky like you."

"I understand."

Aima looked up at the ceiling, and wondered. Did the guy faked the report, to save her image or to avoid the police?

Whatever it was, he did a good job.

"And the blood supplied to you was also his. You two have the same blood type. You know, your blood type is kind of rare and difficult to get so quickly. Tell me, are you two in a relationship? You must know each other, right?"

Aima opened her mouth, but didn't speak. The nurse thought that she was shy about it or embarrassed so she didn't insist further to know.

"Well, I should leave. You have a sleep. You need good rest."

The female nurse stood up and left the room. Now alone, Aima stared blankly at the white ceiling with her empty mind.

Her red eyes, like ruby, narrowed in daze.

I walked in the forest, with Charizard behind me carrying Larvitar in his arms. We walked for a while, and stopped near a small pond to rest.

"Ariya, how's the progress with the Mega Stone."

"Sir, we aren't able to study much. There are no readings from it. Sir Birkang would like to work on something else instead."

I sat on the ground, green grass swayed with the winds. Larvitar repeatedly stomped the ground and left his footprints.

"Then move onto the growth portion. That could be useful."

"Yes, sir."

Ariya would pass my words to Birkang. The growth portion was very useful for growing pokemon like Larvitar.

I looked at the bracelet, the Key Stone was shining as ever. A screen displayed from the bracelet, various news channels were playing on it.

[Destruction in the town of Greenfield! Pokemon called Unknown spreads fear! Research scientist Professor Spencer Hale went missing!]

[Let us all see how these Unknowns have brought imagination to reality!]

[Is this the end of the world? Have pokemon started to rule people?]

[Some pokemon trainers have entered the mountains of Greenfield! Are they going to fight against these Unknowns?]

I saw Ash and his group venture in the crystal-like palace created by Unknowns. It was mostly because of his mother. Delia Ketchum was kidnapped for the little girl, the center of the problem.

It was a one day event, like most of the Pokemon Movies. But of course it had a huge impact on the overall world.

If it's the Pokemon Movie: Spell of the Unown, then not much later will occur, Pokemon Movie: Voice of the forest.

And Aima's story regarding the appearance of Celebi has made it even more true.

"I wonder, now that Suicune is my pokemon. Will Celebi die if I don't release Suicune for cleaning the lake?"

It was an interesting thought in my mind. A faint smile formed on my face, and my eyes brightened slightly.

But then I remembered what happened a month and half ago. Do I want to be the reason for someone's death again?

I didn't but… why do I feel weird?

Am I getting used to it, for real?

Have I become something else?

"I need to be careful, if I cross my limits again… I might never return to what I was before."
