Linked Through Bond Ch. 3
Sorry for the long wait for the people who like this story, but I had I little bit of writer's block. Though I will do my best to make a comeback.
"Aawww, fuck it hurts.", Alan groaned as he rubbed the back of his head, in a vague attempt to soothe the blistering migraine. He looked around in a vain effort to figure out where he is. So far he was in a room. A white room with health concerned posters, littering the walls. He looked down and saw that he was in a bed with soft sheets. His head throbbed, as he tried to recall what happened prior to now, though his thoughts were interrupted when Nurse Joy, in her usual pink dress and white apron, walked into the room." Oh good, I see that your awake and doing well. ", she started," You blacked out yesterday after bringing in that injured Ralts, so I brought you u-","The Ralts, how is it? Did I make it? Was I too late?","Relax, she's fine and has made a full recovery. " she replied as she walked over to a cabinet and tossed him his clothes."If you want you can come with me and visit her?" He nodded as he went to get his clothes changed. A few minutes later he an Nurse Joy were walking down a small corridor, leading to the urgent care facility. Upon opening the double doors with a quick scan of her card, Alan was greeted to the sight of a sleeping Ralts and with a flutter if the eyes the small Pokemon awoke. Small red orbs stared back at him as his heart felt lighter knowing that she was ok and well. The stare itself lasted a couple if minutes before Joy interjected,"Uummm, if you want you could adopt her?" Her voice shook him back to reality, where he held a look of initial shock, joy, and disbelief."Really?! I can adopt her? ", he asked not trying to keep his composure." Yes, if you want I can get the paperwork ready and I can legally sign her as your Pokemon." Alan looked at the Ralts, who was jumping up and down with a smile plastered across her face."So I take it you want to come live with me?", Alan asked as the nurse went to go fill out the paperwork. As he picked up the Pokemon his heart felt warm as their emotions synced together, not knowing they formed a bond that can never be broken.Later that evening after the signing the adoption forms, he went home and picked up his phonebook from his side table drawer and sat next to his new Ralts. Finding the page he began showing her pictures of pokeballs, and asked which she would want. Her eyes widened under her bowl hair cut as she put both hands on the picture of a Cherish Ball."Is that what you want?", he questioned with a slight cringe on his face, while glancing at the price. Nodding furiously, he had to stop her before she got head rush, so he called the number and had a Cherish Ball imported from Kalos. Now he faced a new problem: He had little to no money! Working at the towns Pokemart didn't pay for shit and he sure as hell couldn't support his new Pokemon as well. So he thought for a while and settled on an idea, but only if she agreed."Ralts, would you like to go on a journey with me?" Only being able to see her mouth, he grew concerned as she showed no emotion, but as if she felt the sadness grow slowly inside him, she smiled and nodded.
The next day came fast as the sound of a knock on the door awoke Alan from his peaceful slumber on the couch, with Ralts curled up against his chest. Slowly and carefully he slid onto the cushion and went to answer the door."Hello, I have a package for you imported from Kalos.", greeted a man in a light blue uniform with the PPS (Pokemon Postal Service) logo on his shirt and hat. He took the box and put it under his arm while he signed the clipboard, sending the package guy on his way. Walking back inside he shook Ralts awake."Wake up Ralts, the package arrived. It's your Cherish ball." She slowly sat up, rubbing her eyes like a little kid, and yawned. Looking around for a quick sec, she looked at him with excitement and made a grasping motion with her arms, as he handed her the package to open. The box was open and has long since been tossed across the room along with the bubble wrap (which had been thoroughly popped), as she gently held the glossy, red, eventually. Nodding she handed it over to Alan, as he then pressed the button against her forehead. A red wispy light engulfed Ralts as she was materialized and transformed into an energy that was absorbed into the ball. With three quick shakes, followed a click signifying she was caught. He pressed the button again as she emerged in a mixture of red, blue, and yellow light, smiling. "Do you want a nickname?", he questioned as she thought and grabbed a nearby crayon, writing on a napkin, sliding it to him. Reading it he announced,"Then it's official. You are Jade.". With a confident nod she smiled and jumped into Alan's arms."Come on Jade lets pack for our journey. We'll leave tomorrow."
