Twins of kalos (5th place in Adventure) PWA 2018

Chapter 20: Wind*

As almost everyday since traveling with him, Calem hasn't stopped taking pictures of me. I stared at him with a glare after he took a shot of me carrying my disabled Pichu in the thick blanket and my Pokémon surrounding me to stare at it sleeping in my arms

"I wish I had never told you to take a picture because of your constant staring" I groaned. Calem chuckled, putting the picture away in the album I never seen him take out other than storing away a photo

"Oh come on, this is a precious moment. You're carrying a Pokémon and letting the rest of them surround you!" Even if I got a little more confident in having them get closer, it doesn't mean I'm still not terrified of them getting close enough to touch me

"Stop getting them involved. You're always taking pictures of me"

"Does it bother you?" He sat next to me on the bench in Ambrette Town near the cliff by the ocean. I sat with shaking hands, knowing I was holding a Pokémon in my arms, even if a big blanket was in the way. Romeo informed that Pichu was rushed to a emergency treatment after what I did to Ciro. I honestly thought the entire time knowing I was the one who killed the man, who drew the line, that the Pokémon he abused was dead the whole time. It's not like I could had known anyways... I ran away from it all once I gotten tired 

Pichu became disabled with a permanent limp on its step, and it was blind in one eye. Doctors said that it won't ever grow up to be a normal Pichu, thus, will remain a baby for the rest of its life, or so they say

Romeo took care of it carefully for the pass 2 1/2 years, and always wondered if there was a way to ever find me. He was very good at looking for people, even if they were in hiding. I was also good at staying hidden, thus, he couldn't ever find me and never thought I'd be a anonymous fashion designer. He never got the chance to give me the Pokémon I always wanted to see again. Somehow finding my laptop and hacking into it, he was now able to stay in contact with me and told me everything about Pichu that he knew of

"Do I have to answer the question?" I sweat dropped. Calem chuckled and leaned on his seat. Eevee was on the seat between us, looking at me in the eyes and whining like it was crying "w-what is it..?"

"It might be jealous" Calem explained

"Huh?"

"Eve is still a baby as well, Sophia. Don't you think it feels left out because you chose to hold Pichu instead of it? It's a baby, so it doesn't understand why you're holding it. It wants attention too" Fennekin jumped on Calem's lap and whined at me too "Fennekin is also a youngling. Must be tough being a mom of three" he joked. I sighed and looked at them all staring at me.

These are all my Pokémon... two are artificial and three real creatures who are crying for my attention. How could they seek attention from someone like me..? I'm a mess

"My little babies" I sighed. A old couple walked by us

"What a lovely young couple" my face went red while Calem smiled wide

"Thanks!" I punched his arm, making him laugh. Eevee and Fennekin were being persistent and jumped into the thick blanket with Pichu. I hurried to use the blanket to cover their bodies so I wouldn't have to touch them, and ended up holding a huge ball of children in my thin arms "you seem to got your hands full" he laughed

"Shut up" I looked away. He pet my head, making me look at him confused. He looked serious now, in a tender way

"How are you feeling now?" It's a bit hard to believe, but the day when we ran into Romeo and got Pichu felt like it was only yesterday, which was actually last week since traveling all the way to this place. Everyone saw me loose my cool, I wish it never happened
