(And like magic the next part is already done.)
Sakura and Asch were heading towards Sickbay 2 with 3 Pokemon in tow.
One of them was Yin who had fully recovered from her injuries from her pervious battle and following behind.
Riding on Yin was a somewhat unusual Pokemon. It was a Raichu however he was much smaller than a normal Raichu and about the size of the average Pikachu. He is carrying a bag with him that seemed to be bulging.
The last Pokemon was being carried by Sakura. It was a Cyndaquil with sunglasses and a scarf much like the ones PB wears.
Asch was also wearing some of the new clothes he got the other day because he started to notice that his jacket had a horrible stench due to lending it to PBPB while she was still stinking from swimming in the sewer. He was now wearing a black shirt, dark red jacket, his black scarf and dark blue jeans.
"I hope Purity will be okay, I have no idea what happened to her." Sakura lamented.
"Me too, the poor thing didn't look so good." Asch nodded. "But are you sure you want to go to the Sickbay to take care of PB? You may not have a fever anymore but you're still pretty sick."
"I'll be okay Asch it's just a cold." Sakura sniffed "Besides I can't rest knowing that PB is suffering. I have to do everything I can to help him."
"Okay okay I get you." Asch sighed "I'd say you're stubborn but everyone on this ship seems ridiculously stubborn."
"We can be." Sakura giggled "But no one is more stubborn than Pyre Heart here."
"Why's that?" Asch asked.
"He refuses to evolve despite how old he is. He thinks he's the strongest Pokemon in the world." Sakura smiled as she pet Pyre Heart on the head.
"Cynda!" Pyre Heart cried.
"I'm guessing he agreed with that sentiment." Asch smirked.
"Yeah his Ego is just as big as PB's, you can say he's PB in Pokemon form." Sakura laughed.
"Absol ab." Yin sighed.
"So what's with him and Yin then, she doesn't seem to really like him." Asch observed.
"It's nothing really, it's just their personalities kinda clash." Sakura explained "They sorta have a rivalry with each other, especially since Yin beat him in the tournament when they first met."
"That reminds me, you haven't finished that story yet but I suppose we can pick that up later." Asch noted "So these guys can evolve?
"Uh huh a vast majority of Pokemon can evolve, some of them can even evolve twice." Sakura nodded.
"There's just so much about these guys to understand. I don't think I get it all." Asch sighed.
"Just take it a little bit at a time, this sort of thing takes years to learn." Sakura recommended.
"I guess you're right about that." Asch agreed.
The 2 eventually arrived at the closed door of Sickbay 2 and opened it. The room was dark and they saw a bumpy outline of PB sleeping on his side.
"Huh that's odd Zeta should be in to room somewhere, and I could have sworn that PB was sleeping on his back when we left him." Asch questioned quietly.
"I wonder..." Sakura drifted off as she quietly walks into the room with Pyre Heart in tow.
"Sakura what are you doing!?" Asch whispers furiously before the Raichu goes into the room as well.
Sakura makes it to the foot of the bed and looks at PB's and Zeta's sleeping form. The Raichu makes it to Sakura but can't really see anything beyond 2 pairs of feet because of his height.
"Raichu Rai?" The Raichu asks
Sakura merely nods with a small smile on her face before she and the Raichu quietly exiting the room and closing the door.
"Why did you do that!?" Asch asked completely flustered.
"I wanted to see if Zeta and PB were sleeping together." Sakura explained.
"Oh." Asch started before doing a double take "Wait what!?"
"Well I was curious because Zeta wouldn't leave in a situation like that and the bed obviously had 2 people in it." Sakura said as she sat down beside the door.
"Okay but aren't you put off by the fact that your best friend is sleeping with your mentor?" Asch raised an eyebrow while sitting next to her and Yin curled up in front of them.
"Zeta's never slept with someone before." Sakura pointed out "And they certainly wouldn't sleep together without a good reason. Even if PB is known for sleeping around, he wouldn't sleep with someone he just met and Zeta would never take advantage of someone, so there has to be a reason they are now."
"I guess so still I'm surprised that you're thinking about this rationally." Asch commented as he put an arm around her.
"It didn't seem like a good idea to jump to conclusions without getting the full story and PB seemed so relaxed compared to when we saw him last so I'm grateful for that." Sakura smiled "Besides we slept together before so I can't really fault them both for that."
"That only happened because you fell asleep while we were hugging and I didn't want to move you!" Asch blushed in embarrassment.
"I know I was just teasing you." Sakura laughed "But my point still stands."
"If you say so." Asch sighed "But there's still one thing I'm confused about, why did that electric mouse go in with you?"
"Zeta is Narancia's trainer, so he wanted to know how she was doing." Sakura explained.
"Rai Rai!" Narancia cried in agreement.
"Makes sense I guess." Asch said understanding it a bit more.
Pyre Heart then wriggled out of Sakura's arms and waddled in front of Yin.
"Quil!" He said as Yin sighed and Narancia walked in front of them rummaging through the bag.
Narancia pulls out 10 Pecha berries and sets them in front of Pyre Heart and one big Pamtre berry and sets it in front of Yin who looks at it in disgust. He then pulls out a big Watmel berry and takes a bite out of it while Pyre Heart chows down on his pile of Pecha berries and Yin disdainfully ate the Pamtre berry.
"What was that all about?" Asch raised an eyebrow.
"Apparently Yin and Pyre Heart had a bet and Yin lost. Narancia was pretty much the guy who held the prizes." Sakura observed.
"But what did they bet on and why did they all get something?" Asch asked.
"I think the bet was whether PB was sleeping with someone or not." Sakura guessed "As for why they all got something, it's because Yin hates those kinds of berries. Pokemon have different tastes and Yin happens to hate particularly Dry berries like that one."
"I see." Asch understood.
"Ab Absol." Yin whined leaving the Pamtre berry half eaten.
"Don't worry I'll get you some Tamato and Spelon berries for you later okay?" Sakura said as she petted her on the head.
"Sol." Yin yipped feeling a little better.
"Pokemon sure are complex." Asch said as he joined in petting Yin. "I wonder if I'll have one someday."
"You probably might." Sakura smiled.
"I guess I should try my best to try to learn about these guys then." Asch nodded. "Anyway are we going to be sitting here until they wake up?"
"Yep." Sakura nodded.
"Thought so." Asch replied.
The 2 of them kept sitting there watching the Pokemon waiting for PB and Zeta to wake up.
(Yay more Pokemon, I had fun characterizing Pyre Heart.
The reason I gave a Watmel berry to Narancia and Pecha Berries to Pyre Heart was because Pyre Heart is unevolved I imagine he would prefer small berries and his nose is huge so eating what is essentially a Watermelon would be excessively difficult. However a tiny Raichu with a Watermelon looks adorable.)
