Chapter 26 - The adventure! (5)

"Then let's head off... Are you ready?" Brooke asked me. I nodded in response. I then followed him as he walked out of his tent. "Oh! What a cute Espeon!" I heared the same boy from earlier exclaim. "Oh, where?" An older boy said. "I wanna pet it!" The girl from earlier yelled out. I was then crowed within a matter of seconds. I ran behind Brooke shaking. "Hey guys, maybe chill out! She only just recovered!" Brooke explained to his peers. A Pikachu then comes running up from behind the group and sits in front of Brooke. "What's going on guys?" The Pikachu looks up at the humans and tilts it's head to the side. I don't move a muscle. "Well, do you guys wanna introduce yourselves to her?" Brooke asked. "My name's Ash and this is my buddy Pikachu!" Ash said. "That's me!" Pikachu smiled and waved at me. I was now seated in a more comfortable position. My full attention was on the group in front of me. "My name's May and this is my brother, Max" May introduced herself and Max again. "I know who you two are. You are both very kind." I said with a somewhat calm voice. I then decided these people meant no harm to me and relaxed. "My name is Hailey, both May and Max should remember who I am." I explained. "Oh! Telepathy! So you really are that Grovyle we met earlier!" Max said. I nodded in response to his question. "Then... Why are you an Espeon?" May asked me. "I can explain that." Cosmic Gem replied. "It's because she and I are connected... And many other reasons." Cosmic Gem explained. "Yeah that's the short of it." I added. "The whole explanation will take all day to explain to you." I continued. "Oh, okay." Said Max. "Anyways, you wanted to go berry picking right Brooke?" I asked. "Yes that's right, just in case we are too far away from a Pokémon centre, like today." Brooke answered. "Then let's go!" Ash said with enthusiasm. "Yeah!" Pikachu added. I then giggled at this scene. We then climbed the waterfall again, thanks to Brooke showing us a path next to the water fall that I didn't see before.
