Chereads / Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: The Unknown Hero / Chapter 27 - Flowers of the Meadow

Chapter 27 - Flowers of the Meadow

Narrator's P.O.V.

******

"Do you feel that?" Dialga, Timinium asked. An overwhelming shockwave shook the hyperspace, triggering Irazi from her thoughts. The spacial legendary stood up, eyeing the surroundings around her, squinting her eyes.

She seemed a bit skeptical at first, but after a few moments, she finally started to belive that something is on and needed to be figured out.

"That energy," she murmured. "-is none other than Katherine's. That energy she released earlier... is out of the ordinary. She must've thought it was the move Sheer Cold she has used before at Silverlane, but it was something else..."

"It's a sign her powers are awakening. Who could've thought about that?"

"I know, Timinium. But that would mean-" Before she could finish her sentence, Irazi froze in fear.

"What is it? Is something wrong?"

"N-Norsoe... the more her powers will reveal itself to her, more sooner his power will fully awake..."

Blake's P.O.V.

****

"What the heck was that?!" Philip blurted out. Kate's ears quivered nervously as she stared at the electric fox in front of her. The Jolteon was certain; it was time to tell him the truth.

"Follow me..." The Glaceon gestured to him as she walked out from the house. "And I'll tell you everything."

Confused, Philip padded along with her, until they reached outside our house. I'm alone with Lonnie... and I swear to myself that my face is red as a Cheri Berry.

We turned to each other, and she locked her beautiful brown eyes with mine. I couldn't help but blush; she's really cute...

"Blake?"

"H-huh? D-Do you need s-something?"

"Can we... j-just go out for a while? I... I just need some fresh air."

"Sure. Whatever you say."

She giggled and made a quick dart when I said that. I laughed and trailed after her. And suddenly, in a snap, I fell off the stairs and tumbled down, crashing into Lonnie. We fell off and landed down the house's stairs in a heap, colliding in a loud thud. Did I mention I'm just kind of clumsy?

We laughed and stood up, brushing the dust off. I smiled and walked alongside her. We sat by a log laying on the meadow surrounded with wildflowers, coated with fresh air. The Leafeon smiled and admired the verdant greenery, which is kind of relevant to her.

"Blake...?" She mumbled.

"Huh? What?"

"Is there something you want to talk about? I mean... you just tried to open your muzzle earlier. Is there something we could talk about?"

"N-Nothing at all, I guess." I stammered as I threw a rock at the far side of the field. But as I did, I fell off the log and fell on my face on the grass. Lonnie burst out laughing as I did that. What is wrong with me?! Did I just embarass myself in front of a beautiful girl?! Arceus! I do look like a complete klutz when I'm alone with her!

Laughing nervously, I brushed the dirt off my body and stood up. I couldn't help but think how she looked so cute. Man, I never knew how crazy I am towards her.

She giggled again and it made me blush intensely. I hope she wouldn't see it with my red skin....

"Blake, why are you being clumsy today?" She laughed. "You're hilarious!"

I couldn't help but laugh with her. As I did, I picked a red wildflower and put in on her ear, gently flipping back a lock of her fur. I thought I saw her blush as I did that, but... I think it was just something amiss with me.

"T-Thanks, Blake..." Lonnie thanked with a mild stutter. I chuckled; she was too cute to ignore.

"Lonnie! Is it?!" A Pokémon called from above. I looked up to see a Staraptor. A saddlebag slung over his neck and he was panting rather heavily.

"Oh, hey Alex! Long time no see!" Lonnie greeted. Staraptor landed on the ground and made a graceful bow, making the grass fox giggle.

"So I guess we met again, Lonnie." He chuckled with a stylish flick of his wing.

"Wait, you know this guy?" I asked, confused. Alex shot me a glare as I did that, making me sweat.

"Oh, he just doesn't like being addressed like that. He's a friend of mine before I came here," Lonnie explained.

"So, is he your boyfriend? Are you two dating or something?"

"W-What?! N-No! A-Alex! It's not what you-"

"Lonnie, didn't I tell you that boy plus friend is boyfriend?" He yapped in a sly manner. We turned red as berries when he said that; it was embarrasing.

"Anyway, I'm here to send you a letter from someone. Here." Alex says, handing her a white envelope. Confused, the Leafeon took it from the Staraptor's beak, eyeing it curiously.

"But there's no name where it came from,"

"I know, but I think you'll know who it is. He is someone you might know, waiting for you." He said as he gave a mighty flap of his wings, taking flight into the sky.

Cautiously, Lonnie opened the envelope and a letter fell out. She picked it up and read it.

Dear Lonnie,

I'm sorry for all the things I've done. I just hope that one day you can forgive me, but I think it would be too impossible from after all those things I've done to you; possible as a pipe dream. Its alright if you can't... I don't even think that I deserved such crucial thing. Its okay if you can't just address me as a father, because I, myself don't think I deserve your forgiveness or being that figure. I'm sorry...
