The Crimson Queen | Leon x OC

CHAPTER 9 - All In One Place

ALL IN ONE PLACE

Azalea somehow finds herself in a location that she doesn't recognize, since it is covered in mist. She tried to call out Zoroark and Leon but it would seem she wasn't able to speak because when she opened her mouth, no words came out. Since she couldn't do anything but move, Azalea walked straight ahead. However, when she was walking, she had this weird feeling that she's been watched.

Suddenly, the fog started to vanish into thin air, making her see clearly now. She was about to take another step, until she saw a figure standing up ahead. Azalea slowly walked forward as she had a really bad feeling about this.

When she went closer, Azalea was able to see who it was and to her surprise, she was able to recognize them and she felt her body boiling rage. It was Scarlet, the one who once tried to destroy the Arata region. She couldn't comprehend what he was saying to her but before she blacked out, Azalea heard his voice.

You can run but you can't hide forever, Crimson Queen

A few minutes later, Azalea came out from the trance and woke up extremely groggy. She opened her white eyes and saw two Indeedee staring at her, smiling and she couldn't help but smile back. Azalea slowly got up and noticed that she was in a stretcher. She looked around the room and saw Eclipse, Solar and Raihan, who had a relieved expression on his face.

"Geez, don't scare us like that!" Solar ran and went for a hug, tears were forming in his eyes.

While she was trying to cheer Solar up, she saw no sign of Leon, Charles nor Zoroark. Azalea was about to ask about those two but it would seem Eclipse has beat her to it.

"He is in the lobby and Zoroark is there with him too." Eclipse answered.

"Don't worry." Raihan approached her. "Leon is alright. You don't have to worry about him." He reassured her, sending her a smirk grin.

Azalea sighed in relief. She was glad that they were okay. She went to the lobby, joined her pokemon and she saw Charles and Leon there as well. When Leon saw her with the others, he had a relieved expression. He came up to her and gave her a pat on her head.

"I am glad you're doing okay, Azalea." Leon gave her a warm but small smile. She could see a sad expression on his face but he was quick to recover before anyone could catch him.

Why do I have a feeling that Leon's blaming himself for what happened to me?

"Charles, mind telling us why you were in the Slumbering wield in the first place, mate?" Raihan glared at his best friend, Charles and all eyes were on him.

"Hehehe..Y'all would hit me if I told you." Charles nervously laughed, feeling everyone staring at him seriously.

Right where Charles was about to explain, someone entered the pokemon center. Raihan looked back and to be honest, he regretted it. Because the person is angrily marching towards them.

"Charles!"

Charles immediately freaked out, the only reason why anyone would call out his name out of the blue, was because they are really really really pissed off. What's worse is that it wasn't his mother. Charles felt his heart racing. It was Sonia!

"H-Hey, babe. What are you doing here?" Charles nervously waved at her.

"I...might've told Sonia what happened." Raihan scratched the back of his head, snickering.

The others watched Sonia scolding and yelling at Charles, telling him what he was thinking of putting himself in danger. Raihan, Solar and Eclipse went up and tried to calm Sonia down before she hit him with her shoe, leaving Azalea and Leon behind. She gazed at the champion, who once again had a saddened expression.
