Gertrude woke up outside of her ball. A puff of air on the back of her neck. She turned to see Shade. Even though Shade was sleeping, Gertrude could tell how exhausted she looked.
Gertrude shook her head at the fleeting memories of her nightmare.
"Hey."
"Why did this happen to me?" Gertrude asked.
Shade sat up some to look at her best friend. "Remember the memories you shared of your mother with me?" Shade was half asleep but she seemed to know what she was saying. "Take away the color, you look like her. The shape, the smile, the... the..." Shade wiped the drool off her chin from the slight nodding off she was struggling against. "Your mother loved you. Still does. Always will."
"Shade, shat are you saying?"
Shade rested her forehead to Gertrude's and let the thoughts flow. "Our bond is stronger." Shade said.
Gertrude saw her mother and sister, both doting on her as a youngster. From her own point of view too. It seemed like she was back there.
Gertrude's mother taught her the things she later taught Shade about living in the wild of Hoenn.
Gertrude saw herself training with her mother.
There was a quick, unreadable flash of an image, as Shade dozed off, her head snapping up to look Gertrude in thr eye and blush. "Sorry!" Shade looked away.
"I think I understand what you're saying." Gertrude told Shade. "She was teaching me to survive, protecting me."
"Mother confronted my father. When she found out about what he was he was doing." Shade rested her head against Gertrude's again.
The Gardrvoir wished Shade hadn't shared that memory. The Gyarados taking the short woman with Shade's hair and face in it's jaws and shaking her violently until she went limp, then devouring her in two bites.
Gertrude wiped Shade's tears away.
"I had forgotten so much about thst night." Shade said. "But while you wondered about the differences..." Shade had to stop speaking as she cried. "Sorry!" She tightened her hold on Gertrude. "My father was a scientist. He was trying to make something, something bad. I was his test subject, but I remember this. He called it Corruption, a designer pokemon ability. They spoke about it on the phone. It made pokemon dark types."
"What are you trying to say?" Gertrude asked.
"I looked through the pokedex. Your moves, the ones you chose not to learn as a Kirlia, they are Dark moves. Now you are a Gerdevoir and..."
Shade hit the button on the pokedex. "Gardevoir. The embrace pokemon. Dark Fairy type." The devixe repeated.
"I think I have corrupted you." Shade sniffled. "I ruined your dream of looking like your mother."
Shade slumped amd Gertrude cradled her in her arms. Her thoughts went back to the last thing her mother had told her. "I will!" Gertrude answered her mother's memory.
Noon, there were the barks of Growlithe, and voices of officers. A few voices from yesterday claiming to have been attacked.
Gertrude picked up everything and tossed it in the pack. She took hold of Shade and teleported all the way back to the city.
"I know someone who can say we've been with them all the time." Shade mumbled.
"You're awake!"
Shade laughed lightly, sleepily. "Yeah." She yawned. "I woke up when you heard the Growlithe. They eat Sneasel in the wild, you know." She sat up. Kind of why I don't like them much, mostly just what I've heard from Mother. She didn't always live in that ice cave." Shade rubbed her eyes. "Put on some coffee?" Shade asked while she dialed her phone.
By evening, it wasn't hard to find a black Gardevoir or a girl that dressed in the style of a Sneasel that had a few run ins with the law.
"I swear officer, he's just mad because his trainer's license got pulled for a while." Shade told the man with the tan uniform.
Another talked with Miyu.
"Well we were there yesterday, but we left when Broken saw him. Came right home, met up with Miyu." Shade explained further when wordlessly pressed by the man.
"What time was that?"
"I don't know. I don't have a watch, and I wasn't going to dig around for my pokedex... which I've never checked for a clock..." she pulled it out and took a look at it. "We did go back for our supplies, but thay was today. I'd say, maybe five thirty. Went to the apartment, got some cleam clothes and asked Miyu what she wanted for lunch."
"You know, that whole bit is in the same order as what you told my partner."
"I can't help it. That's how I remember things. In order. Bet the words are different."
He looked over the notes and shrugged. "What's with the jacket?"
"It's a jacket. Got it from a friend. I never had one before." Shade smoothed out a wrinkle. "Anyway, if you're done wasting my time, I would like to get back to my vacation while i still have some."
"Stay close, we'll be watching you." He warned.
"Next time, send the Jenny that has the half side of her head shaved and the tattoo. She's cool."
"And she eyes you like a piece of meat!" Gertrude commented through their bond.
"Are you jealous?" Shade answered, also through their bond, while trying to not blush or frown with the officer still there in front of her.
"No, this is my case." He put his hands on his hips and stare at her hard, as if she would cave to that. He finally turned and left, calling the Growlithe and his partner to follow.
"I just lied to the police!" Miyu said hushed.
"Hey, people tend not to believe me. Point out a crooked cop, they split the money with him. Defend myself, they let the guy go and arrest me. Pick pockets for fun, they ignore the fact that I gave every single one back, and that I told them how to stop it from happening."
"Touched a nerve?" Miyu asked.
"No." Shade pulled Gertrude into her lap and hugged her. "I was trying to say 'sorry you had to do that, Miyu' and 'thank you' but I just never seem to get a break and it sent me into a rant."
"You're buying lunch." The woman tapped Shade's nose.
"Already on the way."
They spent the night watching movies with Miyu.
Well, Broken spent the night staring out the window at Aura's Machoke as she lifted the weights.
"You can do better than that." Gertrude's voice made him jump and he knocked a glass off the counter.
Geetrude caught it with hee telekenisis and set it back in place. "Don't dwell on it." Gertrude leaned on the counter
Her eyes were half lidded and she wobbled a bit. She was buzzed on wine.
"Easy for you to say. You have Shade." He told her.
"She and I are..."
"You've been sitting in her lap all day. She has been using you as a pillow all night. I can smell your arousal!" He pushed her with his finger and her head tilted. "You can't blame that on the wine." He took one last look out of the window.
As he was walking off he heard Gertrude. "The Lopbunny at the lab always talks about you, and there is that nerdy little thing, always reading, I'm sorry, I don't think I've seen her face... I couldn't show you."
"The needy little thing is a human." He stated, stopped just in the doorway.
"Hey, she has thoughts. Think about it." Gertrude sang and he left the room.
Her thoughts drifted back to Shade. "Am I jealouse?" She asked herself. "I've never really been aroused before. I usually just wake up." She mumbled and set the wine glass in the sink. "Bed time!" She said happily, mostly because she was sleeping on the fold out with Shade.
8/3/2010
"Thank you for holding my hair."
"Shouldn't drink like that."
"Shut up, Broken."
"How is Shade holding up?"
"Our delinquent youth, partner has done this before. She's making coffee." Gertrude hummed happily. "Coffee!" Her smile faded, her face paled and she threw up again. "I think that's it!" Gertrude sat back and Shade appeared to pick her up and hand her a coffee simultaniously. "How did you do that?"
"I don't know. But the three of us are going shopping today, once you and Broken feel up to it." Shade set Gertrude on the couch and brought TV trays for both pokemon. "You two rest. Things were bad yesterday and I want to make it up to you."
Broken was satisfied with the berry waffles, but the added extras and he would have licked Shade's feet of she had asked.
"Feet, is that what turns you on?" Geetrude teased telepathically. He answered by smearing some of the whipped cream on her nose. "Gonna eat me up?"
"Mom! Gertrude is teasing me!" Broken called out jokingly.
"Stop calling me old!" Shade answered. She came back in with a plate of chocolate crepes for Gertrude, also with whipped cream and berries.
"Aren't you eating?" Gertrude asked.
"I'm good. I didn't puke." She was tinged pink and left the room quickly.
The shopping trip was a no go. Every mall or boutique they tried had Gertrude getting so much attention that she basically had an anxiety attack. Maybe sensory overload. Whatever it was it was enough for Gertrude to be curled up in bed with Shade holding her. Broken sitting outside in front of their apartment door.
Shade had been given over fifteen pokenav numbers so that she could arrange breeding Gertrude. She almost broke a guy's wrist as he started to lift Gertrude's dress. Another of the Ralts evolutionary lines, a male Gallade, stalked them with it's trainer's blessing, hence why Broken kept watch outside.
Shade took a moment to contact her boss and let him know that they would need a ride to work for the foreseeabke future. At least until Gertrude got used to this big change in her life.
"You said a month." Gertrude peeked up at her.
"Dreaming and reality are two different things. I honestly think I only got the few weeks because Mr. Right likes my work and didn't want to piss me off. Most employees get a three month probationary period, no vacation allowed, except national holidays and weekends."
"I still don't trust him."
"Me neither."
