Pokemon Revival (Discontinued)

Chapter 52 Still Allowed to Go

(Jon POV)

It's....been not so great. Ever since that day, when Jae went on that mission, a lot has changed with him. It's been a month since then, and ever since he's been..... different.

He isn't as active as he used to be, he really just stays inside a lot, and doesn't feel like fighting or training. He is still eating and drinking, so that's good, but he isn't getting as much sleep. Lucario had explained to me that he sometimes wakes up screaming. I think he's having really bad nightmares.

As I said he isn't as active, he really is just playing on Riley's game station, and that's all he has really wanted to do during this time. Riley would play with him, and would talk to him, but all together Jae has become more anti-social, he doesn't really like talking at all, not anymore.

If I said I haven't seen this before, I would be lying. I've seen him like this, I talked to Lucario, Ray and Mimi, he was like this when he lost Elizabeth. I explained to them the situation and how this went down, but this was different. When he lost Elizabeth he was in a deep depression, and he was very hostile. But here, he was in a depression, but he seemed scared, and paranoid, all the time. He would jump if you surprised him, as if he was ready to be attacked. I was extremely worried about him, but even more so with what was about to happen.

You see Martin's family was going on their yearly vacation, it was a long one too, like a month. This would last until the end of summer, they had a three-month summer here so they had time. They had explained this to us, but told us that there wasn't enough for all of us to go. Some of the Pokémon would have to stay behind...... Jae was the first to say he would stay.

Lucario and Mimi were going along with them however. Ray and I explained that we would stay with Jae to try to cheer him up. Before heading out however Claire bought us a ton of fruits and other things, since Jae knew how to cook and has helped with cooking sometimes he would be able to cook for us certain things.

Claire ran down with Jae all of the requirements on what she bought and such. Then after a few days it was finally time for them to leave.

Claire was speaking to us, "Alright so remember now, food is in the fridge, I left most of the stuff near the bottom where you two can get to it, and Jae will be able to get the stuff that needs to be cooked, and if you go outside remember to lock up when you come back okay?"

Jae was next to speak, 'Yeah....we got it...' He said quietly.

Lucario walked up to Jae, -Hey, Jae?-

He looked up at him, -Yeah?-

Lucario looked down, -Stay safe....okay?-

Jae looked up, -Same to you...-

Jae then walked off and went upstairs. Martin came over to me to talk.

"Um, hey look....your brother is in a really bad place right now....he's given me reason to believe he wouldn't but....I would just look out for him...okay?" Martin said.
