Pokemon Mystery Dungeon - Gates to The Paradise

Blooming flower of friendship!

The sun rays of the day are dying down as dusk was on his final state to leave space for the moon to rise up and nighttime to start in the pokemon world. It had been already a day after Pika and Snivy went on their mission to rescue Emolga from the mystery dungeon. After the events of the pokemon battles and amazing mysterious power display from Pika as he took down all the 7 pokemon that threatened Emolga. The group of mons ran as fast as they could towards Post town to find help for his needing unconscious friend grasped and carried by Snivy's vines all the way.

Everything went pretty hurried and unhesitant. When they first arrived in the calm town right after leaving Stump Stomp Peak. They had immediately followed Dunsparce's directions to go towards Swanna's inn since apparently she wasn't only the cooker and owner of the inn but also the doctor in town. When they rushingly entered the inn, startling everyone inside, Swanna immediately went action after she saw the unconscious pikachu laying on the snivy's vines and his friends asking her for help. The white bird pokemon took the unconscious yellow mouse up to the second floor of the inn without a second of delay, where she had treated him in private for about two hours before she came back to our group of friends telling them...

"Healing will take a while, it's almost as if he had battled a whole pack of pokemon all by himself! But thankfully none of his injuries were fatal... the only thing that got me worried was how weak on energy he was... I gave him a mix of Oran, Sitrus, and Figy berries that fortunately was enough to energize his body a bit. His heartbeat is getting better now but it's still very low... I don't want to alarm you or anything but maybe a couple of minutes later and I don't know if I would have been able to... Well, he only needs some rest now don't worry you may go and see him but don't disturb his rest."

As soon as she had said all of this and went off to attend the inn's and restaurant's needs before the closing hour, the three pokemon had gone upstairs silently in order to not disturb Pika in any way. They were all concerned for him, you would say Snivy was the most concerned of all but in reality, a certain flying squirrel had a lot more worry and was a lot more shaken up by the situation. Supprising Dunsparce a lot, she had been the first to say her thanks to Swanna with her shaky voice and go directly towards the stairs to visit him. You could also make out the concern, sadness, and other emotions plastered into her face and that she had held while she waited for Swanna's return.

Presently, she was sitting on one of the inn's beds beside Pika's. Staring towards his bandaged body, deep in thought. She hasn't said a word at all since they had gone upstairs to check on him, maybe because of pure Emolga shyness or maybe she just couldn't...

He went all the way across the mystery dungeon with Snivy and Dunsparce and defeated that whole horde of pokemon to save me... and a-all I-I d-did was c-cower and c-cry when I could have helped a bit s-so this wouldn't happen... I'M USELESS AND PATHETIC! Emolga screamed in her mind as she felt some tears of sadness and anger run down her face. That was all she had been thinking about the whole time they had spent there, of course, this time she was being more emotional but was careful enough to hide it from the others so they wouldn't get concerned.

I've already h-hurt enough t-today... and all f-for t-that g-gift for him... that I never got... Emolga was feeling like crying a lot harder but somehow she restrained herself from it and instead cleaned her tears away with her arm and stopped.

"H-he m-may never want t-to be my f-friend a-anymore... I'm s-such a coward crybaby..." Emolga said with sadness, whispering the last part and putting her head down.

"I do not believe that's true..." someone said in a calm tone from behind her. This had surprised her and made her jump a little since someone had been hearing her whisper to herself. She turned her head around shyly since she was embarrassed that somemon had heard her. Much to her relief, it had been Dunsparce. He calmly flew up and dropped himself close to the distressed emolga on top of the bed but not close enough to invade her space. She had already turned to keep watching the bandaged pikachu with a depressed expression, she didn't make a single noise or anything about his presence. Dunsparce saw her saddened state and decided to add up but he also didn't want to add too much.
