Pokémon Sun & Moon: Emethyst's Journey

Chapter 48

I'm sorry I was evil earlier. Lol. 😂 I love you guys! Small warning I forgot to put, things get a little sensitive in this chapter. So just a heads up.

Chapter 48

Emethyst's POV

I was now up the hill. I felt my heart picking up pace in my chest. I wondered what he wanted? Now that I think of it, my dad did sound more angry. I didn't really notice it right in the spot because I was so focused on battling.

Mimikyu must have sensed my discomfort, because she began cuddling up to my face. I took a deep breath, and put my hand on Mimikyu. "Thanks." I told her.

"Kyu!" She exclaimed. Before I walked inside the house, I turned around to check on Gengar and Froslass. Ash had resumed training them as if I were still down there. Froslass and Gengar were now training with each other. I smiled at them.

I walked up the wooden steps to the front door. My heart began beating harder, as I felt the pressure build up with every pound in my chest. I turned the front doorknob, and walked inside. I was greeted with the familiar aquarium, and the familiar feel of the air conditioning on my mildly sunburnt skin. I looked around, but I didn't see my dad anywhere. Uh, weird... I thought.

"Dad?! I'm here. What is it?" I called out. Mimikyu continued cuddling up to me, trying to calm me down.

My dad then appeared from behind the aquarium, and rounded the corner to me. He looked angry. I was taken aback a bit, because I didn't really know how to react to this.

"Do you mind explaining to me what this is?" He asked, as he held out a purple envelope with my name on it. I recognized it immediately. The moment I saw it, my blood ran cold and my heart rate increased ten times in speed it felt like. Oh, no.. I forgot.. the note... I thought. Shit shit shit shit shit shit... I kept repeating in my head.

I went to open my mouth, but nothing came out. It was like my vocal cords had been cut, and I couldn't talk. I went to open my mouth again, but no sound came out.

"Well?!" My dad yelled.

I jumped out of my skin in response. I wasn't expecting him to yell so loud. I flinched at this. It was like my own father was using growl against me.

I then felt a spurt of adrenaline overtake my body. "It's nothing!" I finally screamed, as I found my voice again. I turned around, for I didn't really know what to do in this scenario. How could I have been so stupid? Why didn't I double check everywhere and make sure I got everything? I then remembered not packing the note into the box. Oh no.. what am I going to tell him? I thought.

"It sure doesn't look like just nothing!" My dad yelled.

Tears welled in my eyes. Why was he yelling at me like this? "Well it is nothing!" I yelled back. "It's just a stupid envelope with my name on it!" I yelled, as I crossed my arms over each other. I felt Mimikyu rub herself against my face again to try to get me to calm down, but it wasn't working. I was shaking now, but I tried my hardest to stay calm.

"Emethyst, turn around and look at me!" My dad growled. "It's not just an envelope! Who gave you this note?!" He yelled.

No, I'm not turning around. Not with the way he's talking to me right now. I thought. "I-I-I don't know." I said, hesitantly and stammering. My heart rate was the only noise that filled the room. I mean, I wasn't lying. I really didn't know.

The next thing I knew, I felt hands wrap around my biceps tightly, to where it hurt. I yelped a bit. On impulse, I used my elbows to stab behind me as hard as I could. I felt my dad's bare torso on my elbows.  Mimikyu then went flying off my shoulder. "Kyu!!" She squealed, but she landed just fine thankfully. She looked around frantic, as if she couldn't believe what happened.
