Chapter 7
"Because I think I might have a way for you to communicate with Edna!" I blurted out.
{Do you?>
"Yes! Just bring her out!"
{Alright, but if you hurt her in any way, you will meet a slow and painful death!}
"But I die whether I don't or try and fail?"
{Yes.}
"Well, I might as well try."
Stantler/Edna materialized in front of me.
"Umm...hi, Stantler. Recognize me?"
"Stantler, ler."
"Why, yes, I do." translator.
{My wife! My dear wife! I finally understand you! How I have awaited for this day for so long!}
"Stant, Stanler, ler, ler!"
"Merlin, you have changed!" translator.
{It is all for you, my wife! I love you so much!}
"Stantler....." I kind of got lazy at typing it all out.
"Look at yourself! You have turned into a common murderer! You killed them! They treated me well. You killed them!"
{I did it for you, my love! To free you from your bondage!}
"Stant......" Me and my lazy butt :)
"My bondage? I was happy! They treated me well! You know I have fifty years to pay! Before I knew it, twenty years had passed. Then you killed them! No matter how hard you tried, you wouldn't have been able to lessen my time! And need I remind you that you were the one who brought this upon me?!?" translator.
{I didn't want to! Why did you take all of the blame? It was I who did it! I am sorry! I owe you so much!}
Stantler/Edna looked at Alakazam. "Stant...."
"I was in guilt for ten years as Kom took care of me. He treated me better than his other Pokemon. I guess I reminded him of the happy times he had with his parents. It is not I whom you owe much. It is him and I fear you can not bring back his parents. How could you have been so rash??" translator.
{I am sorry, my wife! I apologize!}
"Stant......." Stantler/Edna swung her head in a disapproving way.
"He is dying at this moment and you are the cause of it."
{I, I have the antidote!} A bag materialized in the air and Alakazam handed it to me. {I have found Kayako Berries to be the antidote for my virus. In the bag, you should find there is more than enough for your friend and your Smeargle.}
"Stant......" then Stantler/Edna turned to me. "Stant....."
"His name is Kom. He has a name. Kristy, bring Kom back, please. I have much to tell him and I'm sure my husband does as well." translator.
{Yes, you must.}
"Ok, thanks. I'm going to leave you now, ok?"
{Could you leave your mechanism here? I would love to talk with my wife while you go help Kom.}
"I could, but I won't." I was still cold towards Alakazam and I hadn't forgotten anything that has happend so far. How could I pity such a monster?
{You little-} he seethed with anger.
"Stant...."
"Merlin! It belongs to her! You can not take what's not rightfully yours! And I have nothing to say to you for the time being!"
{My wife...forgive me. Forgive me, Kristy, for all the trouble I've put you through.}
"How can I? It's Kom you should be apologizing to. Not me."
Everyone was giving Alakzam the cold shoulder and it was making him feel bad. And I think he should for murdering someone before he knew the details!
"Butterfree, Noctowl, Totodile, return to your Pokeballs! And Ponyta, do you think you can take my to the hospital? Only you are fast enough."
"Ponyta!"
"Let's go!" translator.
When I reached the boundry of the Flora Fields, I was immediately stopped by an Officer Jenny. I say an Officer Jenny because you know that there are many of them all over the world.
"Stop! In the name of the law!" She rode her motorcycle over and stopped me.
"What? What did I do? Whatever I did, it needs to wait! I have lives to save!"
"Hold on, young lady. Do you not see the signs? The Flora Fields are forbidden from this day on! You are now trespassing on government property! A young boy and a Smeargle caught a deadly disease there! We have enough trouble without the likes of you."
"I have to save some-"
"Don't interrupt me! A naughty girl has already wandered in hopes of finding an antidote to the disease! We can't even send a search party to find her! She's probably contracted this disease by now! Probably lying out there dying because of her carelessness!"
"But I-"
"No buts, young lady. Where are your parents? They would have told you it was dangerous to go into the Flora Fields! If you weren't underage, I would have already booked you for 72 hours! It's kids like you that makes me mad, disobeying signs and putting your life in danger!"
"SHUT UP!!!" I just exploded.
Officer Jenny's jaw opened wide. "How dare you speak to me like that, young lady! I only fear for your safety and this is how you speak to me? Haven't your parents taught you to respect to your elders? Especially police officers."
"Well, I'm sorry, but while you're yapping your jaws away, someone is dying and I have the antidote to rescue him! I'm that girl who was looking for an antidote for the boy and Smeargle! I have the antidote!"
"Well, why didn't you say so earlier?!?"
"I tried to! But you wouldn't let me!! You kept interrupting me and you were too preoccupied with telling me what a bad girl I was!!!"
"Oh, sorry, hon, but hop on! I'll give you an escort! The only thing faster than my baby is a Rapidash and sorry, little guy, but you aren't one yet!"
"Ponyta!"
"But I will!" said the translator as I untied it from Ponyta's neck.
"Doctor, is it working?" I glanced at Kom anxiously.
"It seems so. His heart is beating at a regular pace."
"Oh, that's good. And he's not sweating anymore!"
"You're right. His fever is gone and he's breathing just fine. Look at him!"
"You're right! He looks so relaxed!"
"Yes, and I was-"
"Smeargle!!"
"Smeargle! You're ok!!"
"Smeargle!!" He ran into my arms and Nurse Joy followed close behind.
"So are you ready for that date, my Joy? At that new Italian place?" He moved his eyebrows up and down and winked at her.
"No, no, NO!!!!!" she screamed. Really loudly. Then she smoothed her apron and looked at me and smiled.
"Ouch, shot down. Too bad, doc." Kom was ok! He got up and propped his pillow so that he could sit down with his back against the wall. "So what am I doing here?"
"You were almost dying, son."
"Don't call me son, doc." Then he grinned. "I was almost dying? Come on!" Kom must have been feeling a lot better because usually he was always acting serious, but now he was joking around!
"Wouldn't you call it dying? A temperature of 132 degrees! Oy! I'm surprised you're not dead yet!"
"But I was too late wasn't I?" I couldn't help grinning, Kom's happiness was contagious. "Look at it him acting like a goof! His brain must be damaged!"
We all laughed at this and he crossed his eyes just to show me off.
"So it was you who rescued me!"
"Yes, this brave girl ran to the Flora Fields to find an antidote even when she was forbidden to! She must have disobeyed the whole world at the moment! But she came back with the antidote to help you."
"That reminds me. How did you ever find the antidote? How did you know it was the antidote?" Nurse Joy asked.
"I nearly forgot! I tried to ask you, but I was interrupted before I could." the doctor looked at me curiously.
"Well, to make a long story short, Kom had somehow made an Alakazam really mad. So the Alakazam injected him with this virus it made up and some of it got on Smeargle while he was battling."
"You must have done something really bad to that Alakazam for it do that to you, son."
"Don't call me son. What about Stantler, Kristy?" Kom was serious again.
"I'll tell that to you on our way back there. We have to go back."
"Wait, why was Alakazam so willing to give you the antidote if he was mad at Kom?" asked Nurse Joy.
"Well, I showed him how wrong he was about Kom and I made a deal with him. As I said, we had to go back, especially Kom. That's the deal."
"Do you need anyone to come in case of foul tricks?"
"No, I think it's alright. Especially if we've gone this far. And we have to respect his privacy. You can tell he's a special Alakazam capable of thinking like a human, if not more, if he can make up his own disease!"
"What about Stantler?"
"Kom, you have to rest. I'll tell you tomorrow on our way there. I'll tell you the whole story. Ok? You, too, Smeargle."
"Perhaps you can fill me in with the details?" the doctor leaned closer.
"No, sorry, but I'm tired, too. Think about it, in one day, I, oh, forget it."
"Kristy, there are some bunkbeds in the PokeCenter and you're going to have to spend the night there. We'll leave Kom to rest up here." Nurse Joy scooted me off.
"Good night, Kristy, and thanks."
"Anytime. Good night!"
That night I couldn't sleep for a few hours. It was a long day. I managed to make a mob of people so mad at me that they wanted to burn me. I had my first battle and won. I bought some stuff at the Poke Mall. I caught my very first Pokemon. I find Kom and Smeargle sick with some weird disease. I find the Alakazam and I was threatened to die. I find out Stantler was actually an Alakazam. I get the antidote and manage to heal Kom and Tracer. Oh, and did I mention I had to put up with Alakazam's life story? All in all, it was a busy day. I think I would be a little tired after that, wouldn't you? But I should sleeping by now, right? Well, I guess I was thinking too much. For example, I wonder how Alakazam and Stantler/Edna are doing.
