A New Journey - Ash Ketchum {2}

Chapter 47 - Ignorance is Blissey

It was night time when Emma and her friends reached to a town. Tired, hungry, and dirty they were walking down the road. "My feet are killing me," Brock said. "So are mine, and I'm starving," Ash said.

"Me too, and tired," Emma said. "I'm hungry and tired," Misty said. "I don't know about you guys, but if we don't find a place to stop pretty soon, I'm gonna collapse," Brock said. Ash blinked and smiled, "Hey look!" Emma, Misty and Brock followed his gaze to see a Pokémon Center. "Guys, it's a Pokémon Center."

"They'll have lots of food and soft beds," Emma said with a smile. Misty smiled, "Yeah! And nice hot showers, too." They rushed closer to the building but the doors were locked. "I'd hate to tell you this, but I think it's closed," Ash said.

"Closed?" Brock asked. "No way," Misty said in disappointment. "But the lights are on," Emma pointed out. Ash knocked on the door, "Hello in there! Anybody home? Hey, Nurse Joy! Sure is funny, I wonder where she is. Anybody--"

The door opened and hit Ash in the face, making him fell backward on the ground. "Ash, are you okay?" Emma asked as a Pokémon that she never saw before wearing a nurse hat stepped out, looking startled, "Blissey?"

It has a large, ovoid body with a pink upper body and white lower body. It has hair-like curls on either side of its head. White, wing-like tufts grow from its hips and shoulders, creating the impression of a dress. Its stubby arms and feet are pink and lack any digits. A small, pink pouch on its belly holds a single egg, and it also has an egg necklace which has only its upper half.

Ash sat up, groaning in pain, "Oh, my head." Brock helped him up while the Pokémon frowned worriedly, "Blissey. Blissey." Ash smiled at it, "That's okay." The Pokémon smiled and jumped happily. "Wow, I've never seen one like that before," Emma said with a smile.

"Sorta looks like a Chansey," Misty said. "Yeah, but it definitely isn't one," Brock said. Ash pulled out his Dexter, "Well, let's see."

Blissey, the Happiness Pokémon. It is kindhearted and loves helping people. Blissey is the evolved form of Chansey.

Brock smiled, "Ah. I should've guessed you were evolved from Chansey. The resemblance is striking. This hairdo is a very interesting choice." Blissey tilted its head, "Blissey?" Ash's stomach growled, making him blush, "My stomach's reminding me it's empty."

Blissey smiled happily and pulled Ash inside, making Emma, Misty and Brock follow with the Pikachu, and leaded them into the Pokémon Center cafeteria. "Hey, where you taking us?" Ash asked and they stopped. Blissey turned to them, "Blissey," it said and walked into the kitchen.

"I wonder what Blissey's doing," Ash muttered. "Whatever it is, it sure sounds happy," Emma said. "Pika," the female Pikachu said. "It almost looks like..." Brock trailed off as they stared in surprise when Blissey stepped out with trays of food.

"Blissey made a ton of food for us!" Ash said. "Let's stop talking and start eating," Misty said happily. "Pika-chu," the male mouse said happily. Blissey happily walked toward them, making them step back nervously. "Wow, take it easy, Blissey," Ash said.

"Yeah, you can't get too carried away when your carrying trays," Brock said, but Blissey kept approaching them. "Come on, Blissey, if you don't slow down, all that stuff is gonna--" Ash said but he tripped. Blissey then accidentally spilled the food all over the boy, "Blissey!"

"Are you, okay?" Emma asked. "Not really," Ash muttered and sighed. "Can we get a room, please?" Brock asked. "Blissey," Blissey said and walked past them out.

Emma and her friends followed it to the front desk, where Blissey handed them a key for a room. "Thanks," Emma said and handed the key to Ash, "Why don't you get clean up and I will make you something to eat after?"
