Pokémon: Finding Red

Chapter 15 ~ Revelation

Chapter 15 ~ Revelation

[Skylar's POV]

I awoke and sat up, finding myself in a room... Looks like a room in a Pokémon Center. My arms and legs were covered in bandages, and Red was sitting on a chair beside my bed.

"Hey..... You're finally awake." he said.

"How long was I out?" I asked.

"A whole day and a few hours. How are you feeling?" he asked.

"Just fine... what happened yesterday? I remembering falling, crashing into something, then I blacked out." I said.

"Well, Blue and I came shortly after with the Pokémon from our storage, then we brought you here. Turns out you lost a lot of blood from that gash on your leg." he explained.

"What about Gold and Yellow?"

"He sprained his ankle, but he's applying RICE. He's probably resting in his room. Yellow got her legs treated from paralysis, and so did Green. They went back home for now. And if you're looking for Silver, he's in the cafeteria."

"Oh......... Hey Red, I'm sorry for how I talked to you back at Mt. Silver.. I really am.." I apologized.

"No, it's okay. Gold told me that you were having a hard time dealing with your rival, so I let it slide."

"Okay...." My thoughts drifted off to my Pokémon. How are they, where could they be right now? Are they given sufficient meals each day? I can't help but feel worried. Red seems to notice my expression.

"Yeah, I miss them too, Skylar." he said, referring to our Pokémon. "I can tell that you're worried about them, aren't you?"

"Of course I am...... Being completely away from them.... for me, is worse than death." I said quietly.

Beep-beep ring beep beep!

Red's Pokégear rang. A different ringtone, huh. "Hello? Yes, she just woke up. Hello? Hello? Great, he hung up."

"Who was that?" I asked.

"Gold."

"What time is it?"

"9:35 p.m. You hungry?"

"No, maybe I'll eat later."

"Okay."

I leaned back and relaxed, looking the bandages on my arms. "Uh..... I don't remember getting my arms wounded."

"You didn't. Your arms suffered from third degree burns..."

"I never noticed the whole time."

"Thank you, anyway, for saving Yellow."

"Don't mention it..." I said, even though I almost died in the process of saving her.

"Hey Skylar, you don't mind if I ask you something, right?" Red asked.

"Go on."

"Are you and Gold..... are in a relationship?" he asked, anxiety shown.

I started laughing, probably because it's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.

"What?" Red asks, befuddled.

I couldn't reply, I was too busy laughing. He just watched me, eyebrows raised. Me and Gold, in a relationship? Preposterous!

I just kept on laughing until my stomach hurt.

"Why did you laugh?" he asked.

I smiled. "What you said was completely absurd.."

"So you two are just friends?"
