Pokémon Red (Book 2)

Cherrygrove

Red's POV

When we reached Cherrygrove, the sky was already pitch black, it was cold and there was no such wind. The aura in the sky had vanished away.

I didn't remember myself fall asleep. It felt strange inside my head, my head was getting heavier. Then I felt dizzy.

But still, ignoring that I walked along with my cousin Lyra. She actually felt energetic after the sleep. Was

Finally, we stopped outside a PokeCentre and walked inside as the door opened automatically and we stepped inside.

'Lyra !', called Nurse Joy, joyfully. 'I was hoping to see you soon'.

'Why ?', I asked, no one providing medical facility says - hope to see you soon.

Nurse Joy looked exactly like other members of her family back in Kanto. She turned towards me with her face that always had a smile.

'You must be Red', said Nurse Joy. 'Professor Elm told me to register you into the League, it great you were first in Indigo League'.

'Thanks, and how do I get registered again ?', I asked.

Nurse Joy gave me the instructions and I got myself registered by keeping my Pokedex on a machine.

'How is Eevee, Nurse Joy ?', asked Lyra, out of the blue. I didn't know anything about any Eevee and was curious.

'Oh, she's fine. Lyra, I want you to take the Eevee with you, become it's owner', said Joy.

'I'd like to but I really don't like Kanto Pokemon that much, no offence. But Red can do that', said Lyra, pointing at me.

'What ? No, I can't take the Eevee, you do, you saved it', I said, I didn't need an Eevee anyways, I had my Jolteon with me.

'No, you take it', said Lyra, irritated.

'Wait, Eevee will go with you two, whoever Eevee likes more, that person must take care of it', said Nurse Joy. 'For the night, Eevee will be in it's room, take it tomorrow'.

'Um, okay', I said. 'Can we get a room ?'.

'Yeah, sure' said Nurse Joy, handing me a key to a room.

We went upstairs using the escalator and went inside our room. Lyra threw her bag on the upper bunk.

'You want to sleep on the upper one ?', I asked, as normally I slept on the upper one when I was with Leaf.

'Yeah, I love sleeping on the upper bunk', said Lyra, climbing up.

Suddenly, Marill woke up and stretched her arms. I looked at the Marill carefully, has she been sleeping all along on Lyra's shoulder ?

I turned off the lights and lied down to sleep. I closed my eyes.

In a matter of seconds, I was asleep and started to dream. I saw myself in a workshop like place. There were mechanical tools lying here and there. And then I saw a man working on something.

I looked closely, he was working on a Pokeball, it had a purple color, I realised that it was the Master Ball.

I walked outside the workshop and realised that it was actually a warehouse, outside there was a board with Five Isle Meadow written on it.

I woke up with a start, panting, and looked around. The room was still dark, my eyes scrolled outside the windows and I saw the ocean in a distance. I missed Leaf a lot.

"If just Leaf was here", I thought. "Well, now I know what you feel when you can't meet your best friend for a while, but it's been only a month since Leaf went to Sinnoh".

I turned on a lamp placed on the table next to the bed. It had a yellow dim light which didn't illuminate the room completely.

I emptied my bag on the bed. My bag had been like that since Kanto. It had a couple of potions, a max revive, a few Pokeballs, four Ultraballs and a Master Ball.

I had the prototype version of the Master Ball. Leaf had the original with her. And I was sure when to use the Master Ball, I was keeping the Master Ball safe and will only use it on Mew.

Then there was the box containing the Pokeflute, I remembered the time when I caught Snorlax and had a nice little flashback and smiled.

I stuffed everything back into my bag and kept my bag on the table. I forgot my diary back in Pallet Town, otherwise I would be writing it right now.

I slept back. This time, no dream was to be seen, I woke up when there was a bit of sunlight coming through the window.

I got up from my restless sleep.
