Pokemon: Blood Curse!

Chapter 10: Drowned!

(Opening theme!)

Through the sky, soared the brunette with her Psychic power. It took some time to get ready in the morning since she had to make breakfast and get herself dressed. In her arms, Mel shivered with fear at the sight of the distant land beneath them. Comical white eyes with her tail curled and between her legs, her paws clung tightly to the brunette's clothed arms. "M- Mel, I haven't held or picked up in ages! I didn't realize you were actually this heavy! You need to lay off the sweets!" The weight she had to carry across the sky for a long time now made it difficult. She could feel her muscles ache and struggle to stay wrapped around the feline.

Hornet, on the other hand, easily flew alongside her, with various items stuffed in leftover grocery bags from the last time she shopped. He was too focused on keeping his arms through the loops to be sure the bags won't slip off and that nothing fell out; nervous beads of sweat trickled down his insect head all the while.

Marce, are you insinuating that I've gained weight? I'll have you know-- I hunt every night and I stay active! Rather insulted, with a huff, Mel growled angrily. Her round ears flattened at her words and faintly embarrassed tints covered her snout.

"Pft- haha.~" Even though the brunette struggled to keep her hold on the cat, an amused giggle managed to slip out. However, a comical scream filled everyone's ears and made the woman's hazel hues curiously blink. "Do you hear that? Hornet, can you tell where it's coming from?" Confused, the brunette was, for she glanced at the bug pokemon and saw how he looked to his other side over his shoulder. "Hm?" Copying Beedrill she did the same and spotted Meigu being carried by a Togekiss on its back.

His strong hands kept a tight grip on the flying mon after it caught up and flew happily alongside the brunette. "Togekiiiiss! Slow down!" Comical tears flew behind him when he screamed, he hasn't noticed the woman next to him and tried his best to hold onto the six pokeballs around his belt.

He wore different clothing this time, a white Martial Arts Gi with a black belt around his waist and his usual low ponytail. On his feet, which were currently pressed against the mon's backside, wore tight black sandals. His hysterical scream was enough to make the brunette to his side giggle, which seemed to have caught his ears.

To the side, his brown hues peeked at the flying woman and for a moment, he felt himself drift into a daze at the sight. Her long, wavy, brown hair flowed with the harsh winds from her speed and her lively smile which she believed he couldn't see, brought a light to her usual shy features. Her black and violet eyes were beautiful to him, the buff man couldn't break his gaze from the woman and nearly forgot that he was still on Togekiss. Those pink tints on his cheeks only proved his flustered and awestruck heart.

"Huh?" This time it was her turn to peek at him. Her colored hues blinked curiously but when she caught him staring at her, she couldn't help to feel her heart skip and her cheeks burn. Quickly, despite the struggle she had with carrying Liepard, those black and violet eyes looked everywhere else but him. "H- Hey, Meigu!" a faint, shy smile graced her lips after the brunette greeted him. It was difficult to hide her embarrassed red cheeks and keep her focus on her flight. "I didn't know you had a Flying-type pokemon," Nervous, she was, never in her life had she met someone who would stare at her like he is now, and to say the least, it began to feel a bit awkward.
