The Campagna Adventures

Chapter 24-Forental

*Racheal's POV*

Racheal woke with a start.  She breathed in and out heavily.  'It was just a dream,' she told herself.  Bellezza woke after detecting her companion's distress.

'Did you have another dream about him?'

'Yes, I am worried about what will happen when I finally return home, for it will not be pleasant.'

Bellezza shook with many negative emotions.

'You are right, and the way Phil acts?  When you finally tell him about your predicament, he might just level the nearest mountain.'

'Even Phil is not that strong.'

'You might be surprised with how much potential he has.  Besides, his emotions would cloud his judgment and make his Aura more difficult to control.'

'Even if he became very angry at the way life works, anger would not do that.'

'But another emotion might.'

'Shut up, Bellezza.'

'See you blushed.'

'I said to shut up.'

Racheal then exited the tent and began to prepare breakfast, when a traveler approached camp.

"Morning, you just wake up?"

"Yeah, we did not get much sleep last night."

"Oh, did those bandits, what were their names?  Oh yeah, Timens and Baka try to steal your belongings?"

"Yeah, all three of us were cocooned by that Ariados.  We sent them packing though."

The traveler laughed. "What a tall tale," She said, "I would assume that you saw them coming and scared them away before that.  No one every escapes them once the pair entangles them with that massive Ariados. I kept a lookout for them last night, but they never appeared." 

"Oh, um, they never do?"

"Nope.  Tell me what really happened."

"How about we introduce ourselves first, I am Racheal."

"Georgia."

Just then Phil emerged from his tent, "Morning Racheal.  Who is this?"  However, when the girl turned Phil's eyes lit with recognition.  "Georgia?  It has been a while.  How's your dad?"

"He's doing fine.  How did you meet this lovely lady?  Have you got yourself a girlfriend?"

Phil and Racheal both blushed profusely and spoke at the same time, "No nothing like that at all."

Georgia rolled her eyes, "Sure.  Anyway, how did you escape those Ariados threads?  Especially with your fear of those particular Pokemon."

"Oh, I uh, had some help from Blazer."

"There is gotta be more to it than that."

"Trade secret."

Racheal sighed in relief at Phil's cover up.  He was as clever, or lucky, as he was strong.

'Racheal, you are burning the eggs.'

'Oh right, thanks Bellezza.'

'Welcome, oh, Phil is awake.  Which means that pesky Gallade will be as well, no?'

'Bellezza, give George a chance, you can afford them.'

'I am so sorry.  I was not even thinking.'
