Chapter 3
The moon was high in the dark, stary sky. It seemed as if the world was standing still. Emily was asleep.
Quest lay on his back in his bed, wide awake. He turned over and looked down at Emily. Quest sighed. He jumped off his top bunk and onto the floor. He walked over to Emily.
"Hey...Emily...you awake?" Quest whispered, gently shaking her at her shoulder. "Emily!" He shouted.
Emily rolled over and opened her eyes. She looked up at Quest. "Do you have any idea what time it is?" She yawned.
Quest shook his head. "No, and I don't care. I can't sleep." He pulled the covers off of Emily. "We are gonna go outside."
Emily moaned. "Fine!"
Quest smiled. He pulled his short sleeve under armour shirt on.
Emily took her black sweatshirt and zipped it on over her pink cammie. She snapped her fingers for Leafeon to come. Leafeon jumped up from the bed and followed her out the door.
Quest picked up the egg and followed them. Luxio roared and followed them.
Emily, Quest, Luxio, and Leafeon all walked through Eterna City.
Quest held the egg close to him, and tight.
Emily looked at him. His emerald eyes seemed blood-shot, his hair was messed, and he didn't seem very happy. She walked closer to him.
"What's wrong?" She asked, putting her hands in her jacket pockets.
Quest didn't respond. "I don't know. I guess it's just everything..."
"Everything? What's everything?" Emily asked.
"The egg...me...pokemon...my life...you..." Quest replied.
Luxio sensed Quest's mood. It jumped in between Emily and Quest and seperated them.
Emily looked down at Luxio. It's gold fur seemed to shimmer in the light. She looked up at Quest. "Me? What did I do?" She turned and stood in front of Quest, stopping him in his tracks.
"Just drop it, okay?" Quest urged. He tried to press on, but Emily pushed him back, by pushing the egg. It began glowing a little.
"No. I won't drop it. I wanna know what's wrong." Emily cried.
Quest bit his lip. "Fine." He walked over to a bench and sat down. Emily follwed and sat next to him. "I don't like becomming too attatched to anybody. I just end up leaving them or hurting them."
Emily softly put her hand on Quest's. "I'm sorry to hear that."
The egg began glowing a little more.
Quest lifted his hand and wiped his eyes. "Yeah. Me too."
Emily felt bad for him. She wrapped her arms around him, Quest did the same.
Emily let go and had her hands on his shoulders. "Just promise me, you wont be all sad and stuff when we continue this journey."
Quest sniffled. A tear rolled down his cheek and dripped on the egg. "I promise."
The egg began glowing a whole lot more.
Emily and Quest looked at the egg. It began cracking.
"It's hatching!" Emily cried.
A ray of light blinded them for a moment. When the light faded, a tiny white pokemon poked its head from within the shell.
"W-What is it?" Quest asked picking it up.
"Shay shay!" The pokemon cried.
Quest jumped. "I know who you are! You're Shaymin! The Gratitude Pokemon!"
Emily smiled. She wiped her eyes. "Oh my god!"
Emily and Quest stared at the tiny pokemon in his arms.
Shaymin looked at them. "What? Do I have something on me?"
Emily and Quest jumped. "You can talk!" They both shouted.
Shaymin nodded. "Of course. I can see you can talk to."
"I don't like it. It's a smart alec!" Quest complained.
"Hey!" Emily shouted. She grabbed Shaymin from Quest's arms and cuddled it in hers.
Shaymin made itself comfortable in her arms. "I like her. She is nice."
Quest looked at Shaymin, then at Emily. "Yeah...she is nice." He murmered to himself. He looked down at Shaymin, then at Emily and smiled.
Emily stood up, cradeling Shaymin. "What should we call it?" She began walking with Luxio and Leafeon following her.
Quest jumped up and followed them. "How about Skye?"
Emily looked at Quest and smiled. She looked at Shaymin. It's blue grassy top shimmered in the rising sun. "How does Skye sound?"
Shaymin wriggled in Emily's arms. "I like it. It has a nice ring to it." It said.
Emily and Quest smiled. They began walking back to the Pokemon Center.
Quest looked up at the rising sun. It changed the sky from black to a mix of pinks and oranges.
They entered their room at the Pokemon Center.
Emily walked to her bed and sat down. Skye jumped out of her arms and cuddled on a pillow.
Quest sat down next to her. "You wanna know something..."
Emily looked at Quest. "What?"
"I've never believed in myslef until I met you." Quest said. He looked at Emily. His eyes seemed to be watering. Quest wiped his eyes. "I know, it's corny..."
Emily wrapped her arm in his and held his hand and set her head on his shoulder. "I think it's super sweet."
Quest's face began turning red. He exhaled so he could say what he wanted to say. "So you would think it is super sweet when I say I'm starting to have feelings for you?"
Emily looked at him. She smiled and kissed his head. "Not super sweet, but super cute." She released his arm and lay down in her bed.
Quest stood up and covered her with the blanket. He walked over to his bed. He looked over at her and smiled. Quest jumped on the bottom bunk and lay above the covers. Luxio jumped up and lay with him. Damn...this is getting hard... Quest closed his eyes and drifted to sleep.
The next morning....
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Quest opened his emerald eyes to see Emily dressed, sitting on the floor playing with Skye. He sat up. "I see you're up early today."
Emily looked up at him. "Early? It's 10:30." She said.
"Yeah. You gotta wake up earlier!" Skye ordered.
Quest rolled his eyes and smiled. "So what are we gonna do today?"
"Set off for the adventure!" Skye cired, bouncing up and down.
"Oh really?" Quest questioned. He slid to the floor and sat down with them.
"Skye wants to see the worlds, apparently." Emily replied.
"Worlds?" Quest asked.
"Yes. World with an 's' at the end." Skye said.
"I'm gonna punch you out if you say another word." Quest threatened.
"Quest!" Emily shouted.
Quest jumped to his feet. "What! It's pissing me off!" He grabbed his stuff and stormed out of the room.
He walked down a corridor and across Eterna City to the docks. Quest sat down at the end of one of the docks and cried in his hands.
Emily, Luxio, and Leafeon ran around Eterna City looking for him.
Luxio ran up to him and Emily and Leafeon followed.
Emily sat down next to him and wrapped her arms around him. "I'm sorry..." She cried.
Quest wiped his eyes. He looked at Emily. He took his thumb and wiped her tears. "Don't cry..."
Emily looked at him. She sniffled. Emily moved Quest's black hair out of his eyes.
"I-I need to tell you something..." Quest began. But before he could finish, Emily had her lips pressed to his. Quest's eyes widened. He realized this was a good thing and he closed them.
Emily pulled away and looked at Quest. She stood up and ran crying.
Quest looked at Skye. "I-I'm confused."
"Don't ask me. I'm just a pokemon." Skye said.
Quest stood up and ran after her. Skye sat on Luxio's back and Leafeon and them followed him.
Emily was up against a tree, crying.
Quest ran up to her. He grabbed her hand and looked at her. "Emily, why are you crying?"
"Because...you said you didn't want to become too attatched to anyone...I'm sorry..." Emily cried. She began to fall to the ground.
Quest wrapped his arms around her. "Hey, hey, hey..." Quest held her close to him. "because you live and breathe, because you make me believe in myself, when nobody else can help, because you live girl, my world....has twice as many stars in the sky." Quest softly sang to her. He kissed her head and held her closer.
Emily looked up at Quest.
Quest let her go. "All better?"
Emily nodded.
They all began walking to Celestic Town, in search of an adventure.
Emily looked around at all the pokemon bound in the trees and grass. She noticed a boy ahead of them. His face looked familiar to Emily. "Chi Chi!" She shouted running up to the boy.
The boy turned around. His eyes were brown and his hair was a golden color and it was spiked in the front. "Emily!"
Emily ran up and hugged Cade.
"Who is that?" Skye asked.
"I don't know, but I don't like the looks of him." Quest replied. He walked up to them and Emily and Cade were talking.
Emily turned to Quest. "Oh, Quest, Chi Chi, Chi Chi, Quest."
"Uh It's Cade." Cade said.
"Good, cause I ain't callin you Chi Chi." Quest joked.
Cade laughed.
Emily put her arms around them both. "My two best boys!" She smiled.
Emily, Luxio, and Leafeon ran ahead.
Cade and Quest began talking.
"Listen dude, Emily is mine. Don't even try." Cade said.
"Whatever...has she kissed you?" Quest asked, folding his arms.
Cade didn't respond.
"Exactly! She is gonna be mine." Quest cheered.
Quest and Cade caught up with Emily and they walked on to Celestic Town.
