Uncovering the Truth

Chapter 19: Meant to Happen

Good evening. This is Cece Collins live here in front of the Ross Headquarters in Rosace Town. Harold Ross was brought to prison for kidnapping and money laundering. As it turns out, the 'monster' he had been looking for was an experiment of his. Not only that, this creature is actually Drew Hayden, who was reported to be missing since last year. It seems crazy, but this is the information revealed to us by Clarise Ross, the daughter of the now detained businessman. Ross is now being sent to the Rosace Town Jail. That's it for now. Cece Collins, signing off!

The group made their way to Cerulean Cape where they plan to visit the PokeManiac, Bill. Clarise was the one who did the driving since she owned a van. That way, everyone can fit in one ride. The others could have gone home, but no one wanted to miss out.

Clemont and Max mostly talked about science stuff. Milani was on her 3DS playing Tomodachi Life. Jace just appreciated the view outside. Bonnie and Dedenne were belting out random songs.

"Don't look before you take a fall. Who knows when you could lose it all? The medication's new sensation, who left you out in the cold. You pray and hope for better days. You're just a kid who lost their own. Forget the enemies you've made." Dedenne and Bonnie sang.

"You're not a shadow, you won't fade!" Milani joined in.

"You guys got a better taste in music than I thought." Jace commented.

Meanwhile, May and Drew were quiet on the seats. Drew was feeling a bit nervous. What if I can't ever be normal? What if I'm stuck like this forever? What if it's too late?

May would notice him shaking a bit. She was a bit surprised that he was acting like that. Normally, Drew would be very confident in himself. Of course, this one's a bit different. He doesn't really have control as to what may happen. May felt nervous for him too. But at that time, all she can do is comfort him, assure him that everything's going to be alright.

It wasn't that long before they finally arrived at the cape. There, they noticed a lone house, Bill's house. They also saw two people having a date at the cape.

"Wait...is that Ash Ketchum?" Clemont asked while looking at the people having a date.

"Oh my gosh! It is!" Bonnie exclaimed. "Should we say hi?"

"Later." Drew replied. "We need to talk to Bill first."

Jace did the honors of knocking at the door. No one came to open, but he heard someone say 'come in!'

The group entered the house. They didn't see anyone other than a weird creature in front of them. The creature had the built of a male human. He had twirled pink hair and green eyes. He had tiny wings and a huge tail behind him.

"Jace! I see you've made it." The creature greeted them. "I see these are your friends. Hello!"

The others awkwardly waved their hands.

"Bill?! What happened to you?" Jace asked in shock.

"Well, I gotta test the thing out before I let my green compadre try it." Bill replied while point to Drew. "I gotta show him that it works on me. That way, he'll feel a lot better."

The group just stood their...still feeling awkward. They weren't really expecting what they're seeing.

"Jace, I missed you, you know that. You've always been the best intern I had." Bill continued.

"Maybe he was the only intern who bothered working here." Max whispered to the rest.

"I remember during your internship days, you still had to drive like an hour and 15 minutes just to get some coffee at Rosace Town! The coffee at the Waterflower café is much better and it's only 15 minutes by car. Heck, the youngest Waterflower's having a date over at that cape right now!" Bill blabbered on. Jace awkwardly nodded.
