OOC: So sorry I haven't been posting. I have had to do homework before going back to school :( I've made it up to you with a long post :D
IC:
Andrew left the room without a word. Mrs. Reita bid CK goodnight as she picked up her Electrike and left the room. CK dawdled to her room and shut the door behind her. She sat Electrike down on the bed and pulled back the sheet covers. It was the end of a very, very long day. So much had happened. Mr. Zasad had been kidnapped, Harrison had died all so suddenly, just when he seemed to be recovering, and then Andrew was kidnapped. Then CK had to go and find them, but in the end they managed to escape on their own anyway. It kind of made her feel useless.
She then thought back to Harrison. She could feel her eyes welling up, and this time there was nothing stopping her. She sat on the edge of her bed, buried her face in her hands, and the tears began flooding out just as they had earlier that day. She cried silently, but her face and hands were totally wet with tears within seconds. Electrike nudged up against her side, but CK just turned away. Electrike ran around the other side of her and nudged the PokeBalls. He tapped the buttons with his nose, releasing CK's Typhlosion and Armaldo. They stood there with the saddest looks on their faces.
CK refused to make any eye contact with them, so Typhlosion picked CK up in his arms and began rocking her back and forth like a baby. CK took her hands away and rested them against Typhlosion's soft, warm fur and hid her face in his stomach. Typhlosion sat down on the ground, where Armaldo crouched down and wrapped his large claws around CK as best he could. Electrike slipped between the two Pokemon, bear-hugging their trainer, and lay himself down across her lap. CK didn't notice the three Pokemon comforting her, as her mind was somewhere else completely.
She suddenly felt so alone in the world. Her brother was her closest human friend and taught her everything she knew about Pokemon, making her the trainer she was. Harrison was a champion trainer, which made CK feel confident in her tutor. Her brother was always proud of her, no matter how many mistakes she made. He helped her learn from them and grow into a better trainer. But she still had so much to learn from him, and now she felt like she was never going to be the trainer she and her brother wanted her to be. The rest of her life had just washed down the drain just like that. She no longer felt in control of her life.
CK cried herself to sleep that night on top of Armaldo, who was laying on his armored back, whilst Electrike was under CK's arm. Typhlosion lay just beside CK and Armaldo, his intense body heat keeping them warm on the icy cold floor. CK had wide, clear streaks on her grubby face, where her tears had cleared away the dirt when they fell.
When morning came Typhlosion awoke with a massive yawn, his jaws stretching wide. None of the other three were awake yet, not even when there was a knock at the door. Typhlosion stood up and shook CK, who just shrugged him off, so Typhlosion wearily walked over to the door and opened wide to see Andrew standing there. He growled kindly to Andrew, stepped to the side in case he wanted to come in and then turned to CK, who was still fast asleep on Armaldo, with Electrike in her arms.
