"Hello, again!" She said cheerfully, "Please leave your Pokémon here on the counter and we will heal them in a few minutes! Please enjoy your stay here in Astra City!"

Reika walked into the pokemon center, swiftly walking over to the counter where Nurse Joy was at, she asked, "Nusre Joy, could you please heal my pokemon?" Then, she remembered something. "Oh, and are there any rooms left?" She asked, returning Shimmer to it's pokeball, and putting it with the others.

Charles walked in just behind her, "Hey, Nurse Joy. Same goes for me. My Pokémon need healing..." He took his four Pokéballs off of his belt and placed them on the counter. "Oh, and I will also need a room." Nurse Joy happily picked up all ten Pokéballs and turned around to set them on a tray, which Chansey immediately pushed away.
"Yes, there are only a few rooms left, mind you. You should feel lucky. And, if you get up before ten tomorrow, there is a free buffet. Otherwise," Her eyes opened up simultaneously, now glaring at them, "You'll have to go all the way to the other side of town for a nice place." She winked and turned back to tend to the Pokéballs.

And that wink was for...? Reika tought to herself, before nodding to Nurse Joy and walking over to a chair to sit down in. Wait... wink, nice place to eat... Is she saying something? She thought, then it hit her. Either she's saying I-- or, no, never mind.

Charles nodded and stepped away from the Nurse's counter. "Thanks again!" He waved and approached Reika, "It should be a few minutes yet..." He yawned and slumped down next to her. "I'm tired...maybe...er, I dunno! Maybe we can just go to our rooms now and sleep. Have her hold our Pokémon overnigt? That'd work..."

"Your tierd?" Reika asked. "It's only 10: 30!" She said in amazment. "And besides, I'd rather have my pokemon with me, incase someone trys to steal them while their getting healed." She added on.

"Hmm...good point. And I'm not so much tired as I am exhausted. It's been a long day." He stretched his arms into the air and looked back towards the counter where Nurse Joy once sat. "I wonder what's taking so long...." He stood up and approached the counter. As he grew closer, he heard strange noises coming from the 'back room.' "Reika, something not right! C'mon!" He notioned for her to follow, and with that, he jumped over the counter and bolted past the two silver, swinging doors.

Reika sighed, getting out of her comfy spot and walking over to the counter, where she went to the side door and pushed it open, following behind Charles.

Charles was already through the doors by the time Reika had got up, walked across the room, and got behind the counter. And, as the door was starting to open, the real Nurse Joy could be seen tied up in the corner with Charles kneeling next to her, trying to untangle the mess of ropes. "Reika, they stole our Pokémon, Chansey, and even a few Pokéballs that belong to other trainers!" He pointed across the room to a large machine with a small holding tank containing at least twenty Pokéballs, Chansey, and a few potions and surgical equipment. The machine had obviously came through the roof for there was debris and broken beams scattered across the floor. The hole in the ceiling added to the evidence of how they'd gotten in.
"The boss'll really like these, huh, Eric?" Mae asked as she pulled yet another lever. The male sitting in the co-pilot seat responded with a simple nod. "Thought so." She turned to stare at Charles and Reika. "Try stopping us when we have all of your Pokémon!"
Charles' face curled up and he let out a low and almost too-quiet-to-hear growl. "Let 'em go! Raise your own Pokémon!" Without any warning, he bolted towards the heavy machinery and leapt towards the thick glass orb containing the Pokéballs. "Don't worry!" He reached towards the orb...
And Mae pulled another lever, causing an arm to shoot out from underneathe the robot. "No you don't!" It hit Charles on the chest and hurled him at the concrete wall.

"God d@mnit, you @ssholes are gonna pay!" Reika said, if looks could kill, Eric and Mae would of been ash by now because of Reika's glare. "If only one of my pokemon would pop out of their pokeballs." Reika mumbled, thinking of a way to free the pokeballs and Chansey.

"I doubt they'll just pop out!" Mae smirked and pulled another lever, which caused six large holes to be opened on the bottom of the machine. "Toodaloo!" She winked and waved to Charles, Reika, and Nurse Joy before looking back at Eric., "NOW, you TWIT!" She growled, resulting in his pressing the 'blast off' button. "Now...toodaloo!" The engines roared and fire was spit out of the holes.
As all of this was happening, Jesse and Reggie entered the Pokémon Center. As the door shut behind them, Jesse found his way to the counter and tapped the 'ring for service' bell. After a few seconds of waiting, and of course, hearing the noise from the back, he spoke, "Helloooo?" After there was no answer, he ducked under the counter and bolted to the backroom. "Nurse Joy! Reika!! CHARLES!!! Team Opal?!" He rubbed his eyes in disbelief and plucked out two Pokéballs. "Go, Lunatone! C'mon out, Solrock!"
The two Pokémon hovered there, glancing back and forth between the imprisoned Pokéballs and Jesse. "Sol?!" The spoke in unison. "Luna?!" Their trainer nodded quickly. "Go ahead, do a Fire and Ice combo." With that, Lunatone launched a powerful Ice Beam and Solrock an Overheat. Both attacks hit, but did little or no damage. And, in retaliation, a laser shot towards them, but missed completely. "Psychic, Lunatone!" And, with that, the craft lowered back down and was grounded completely. "Surrender, Team Opal, you can't win!"

"Hey, Jesse, Reg." Reika said, looking at them, then to the Lunatone and Solrock. "Okay... team Opal was it? Heh, never heard of 'em." She muttered. "If I haven't heard of them, then they must be like team Rocket from that anime, lame."

"Hey...how's it fairin', Reika, Charles?" Jesse turned to Reika calmly, seeing as Lunatone and Solrock had the situation under control, for the most part. "Solrock," He began just as Team Opal's craft started charging up an enormous laser. "Try another Overheat! This time, aim at the containment unit!" Without hesitation, the upper 'prong' on the Fire-type's body glowed and shot a condensed and rapid-moving beam of fire. At the same moment, Team Opal's laser fired and knocked out Lunatone, causing them to lurch up in the air when their engines kicked back in. Regardless---Solrock's Overheat shattered the thick glass and all of the Pokéballs fell straight to the ground, including Chansey and the lab equipment. "Yeah!" He returned Lunatone and rushed towards Solrock. "Flamethrower!" It was too late---the craft was already out of sight...

As all of this was going on, Charles had wandered towards Nurse Joy and finished untying her. "I hope you're alright..." He helped her up and she nodded. "That's good...now about this mess---" He was interrupted by Nurse Joy.
"Don't worry---we can clean it up. Nothing's broken, anyway. It shouldn't take long, but thanks for the offer!" She patted him on the head and turned to Chansey, trying to ensure if she was okay. "Good..." She wiped off a speck of dirt and turned to thank everyone.

"Well, at least you saved the pokemon." Reika said, grabbing her and Charles pokeballs, she handed Charles his. "Well, besides that... Shimmer evolved." Reika said, releasing Shimmer. "*So, what happned? Reika and Charles kissed?*" Shimmer asked, Reika blushed. "God Shimmer..." She mumbled, still blushing.

Charles accepted the Pokéballs and put them on his belt. "Thanks Jesse, Reika." Once Shimmer spoke in Pokétongue, Charles also blushed, seeming to have understood what it said. And, acting as though he was clearing his throat, he looked towards Jesse. "Well, then, thank you," He looked back at Reika while he was still somewhat blushing, "We better be off to bed, then, no?"

"I guess." She said, her blush faded away a few seconds ago. "Well, G'night." Reika said, walking out of the room and up to the room she rented. Shimmer followed behind.
Once she got to her room, she opened the door and floped down on the bed, releasing her other pokemon. "You guys can stay out here tonight." Reika said, walking into the bathroom to change into her night cloths.
Once she got out, she slid under the covers of her bed, falling asleep.
Ooc: Charles MUST tell Jesse his feelings towards Reika, it'd be funny! xD well, you dont half ta if ya don't wanna. =D

Ooc: XD I should...before I go...XDDDD
Charles began to walk out of the room, but simply couldn't before...before...talking to his brother about some 'private matters.' He approached him, a bead of sweat starting in the upper right hand side of his forehead. "Jesse, I have to talk to you..." He wrapped his arm around his brother shoulder and pulled him out of the doors away from Reg.
"What's the matter?" Jesse asked after pushing his arms off, "Is something wrong? Did something bad happen?" A look of concern was spread across his face. Well, for a moment, anyway. Only until Charles spoke again.
"Well...my friend, you see, he likes someone. Someone that he's only known for, well, a little while." Charles was staring at the ground while speaking by now, but continued regardless.
A smile appeared on Jesse's face. "Well, did your 'friend' ever consider asking Rei---I mean this girl out?" He glanced over his shoulder and noticed Regina and Nurse Joy coming their way. "I'm sorry, but I am gonna go. Just tell her how you feel!"
"Tonight?!" His attention turned from the floor up to his older brother's face. "Are you serious?! Gah! I don't think I have it in me to do anything NOW!" He gulped and sighed as Reggie was nearing the door.
"Go for it." He winked and walked away with Reg, leaving his younger brother behind.
"Great..." He slumped upstairs and towards Reika's room. He raised his hand, cleared his throat, and knocked gently on the door. "Reika? It's me...Charles...can I come in?"

Reika sat up in her bed, still not asleep. "Sure, the doors unlocked." She said, taking of the covers and quickly re-making the bed, sitting on top of it. Shimmer was sleeping on one corner of the bed, cuddled up with the Lugia plushie Reika won at the slots.

Charles slowly opened the door, letting in a bit of light from the brith hallway. "Sorry to bother you so late, but I have something to talk to you about..." He gulped and approached her bed. "Well, Reika..." He cleared his throat again and sat down next to her, "We've only known eachother for a day now, but I...er..." He began blushing and looking all around the room: from Shimmer to some books on a small bookshelf, and then back to Reika.

"You what?" Reika asked, having an idea of what he was going to say.
Sakura smiled, pushing Cherry to wake her up. "*what?*" She asked in a whisper. "*I think Charles is gonna tell Reika!*" Sakura whispered back, giggling, Cherry giggled along with her.

Charles couldn't help but stare at Sakura and Cherry, as if hearing what they'd said. "I think I...I..." He blinked a few times before gulping again. Finally, after rounding up enough courage to think it out, he spoke, "I like you." And he sat, stiff as if he'd been paralyzed by Stun Spore, staring straight at the wall behind Reika.

"Really?" Reika asked, blushing, she couldn't belive it, nobody has ever thought of her like that before, letalone a friend. "Why?" She asked, she couldn't help it, she needed to know.

Post by Et Cetera on Jul 24, 2007 23:09:50 GMT -6
A few seconds after she'd asked him 'why,' he blinked and began speaking again, "Well... dunno. I've liked other girls before, but not like this. You're nice, sweet, strong, and pretty. There's nothing there that makes me be shunned away." He smiled and fiddled his thumbs together.

Reika's blush darkend. "U-um, t-thanks." She stuttered.
By now all the pokemon were wide awake and watching/listening to this. "*Oh man, I know whats gonna happen next!*" Sakura said giggly in a whisper, now hiding under the bed near Cherry. Cherry was on top of the bookcase. "*I know what you mean Sakura.*" She said in a sing-song voice.
Reika, after finally calming down, (Ooc: Do. Not. Blame. Me!) gave Charles a quick peck on the cheek. "I like you to." She said, bluhing again.

His cheeks quickly filled with blood, turning them from a faint pink into a bright red. After the quick kiss, Charles' hand moved up to that spot and rubbed. "Wow..." He whispered, "I didn't think you would actually...err...like me in the same way that I like you." His eyes gazed at his fingertips where he'd rubbed his cheek.
Without warning, Charles flung forward and wrapped his arms around Reika. After just a few seconds, he spoke lightly, "Well...this is awkward..." His grip loosened around her, but he was still in a 'hugging position.'
