Subject: [PW!] Will wonders never cease?

Her Pokemon mashed together at both of her sides, including Gastly and Pocco's mother. She yawned and smiled at the unusual pair that had joined them. "Well, here's Azalea," Vix stated at the edge of the forest. She threw up her houd, and walked out, but Amber attracted attention any ways. All the people gasped and pointed. "Look!" the said, dumbfounded. They made it to the Pokemon center and, weak from travelling as well, she collapsed at the desk. "Erm, our friend is very weak. Could you take care of her?" Jason asked. Nurse Joy shook her head. "We only care for Pokemon. Human hospitals are down the road. "She's half-Pokemon. Does that count?" snarled Vix. Nurse Joy, confused, looked over the counter and gasped inaudibly and nodded. "In she goes! Chansey! Blissey! We have a special care patient!" A chansey and Blissey in nurse's uniform rushed out and put her in a wheel chair and wheeled her away. ............................................................................................................................... A boy in the center was watching the strange sight over the rim of his coffee. "Well, there's the other Pokes. What's a meowth supposed to do? Mee." Squirt simply turned up his "nose" and said, "Don't bother. That Pika-chick is a snoot." Solo looked sideways at his Shellder. "Snoot?" "Yes. Snoot. You know, snooty?" "Yeah whatever." ................................................................................................................................ Vixxen stormed away from the desk with Jason following. They had left their Pokemon there and finally Jason took Amber and his packs and set them by the desk. He mounted it and yelled, "Every one in this Pokemon Center! A week ago Team Rocket stol everyone's Pokemon! My friend and I have gotten them back! Does any one here have---WHOA!" A mob of people leaped to the desk shrieking nicknames and Pokemon. He waved his hands, sweatdropped and said, "Come get them if their yours!" He picked up the packs and started releasing Pokemon every which way. People snatched up Pikachus, Hypnos, Hitmonchans, Qwilfish, all sorts of them. Then they all started to try and pay him, but he refused. "No, its just sort of for you," he sighed. "And the Pokemon." Why didn't I take it? he wondered. "Come on, your good deed's been done. Amber has to stay here over night, so we should too." Jason nodded and laid is almost empty pack on a table and sat down. Vix slid into the chair across from him and said, "So...how did you guys get to know each other." "She was captured by Team Rocket and I went to help her. She escaped herself but I almost accidently ran her over." "What a sweet friend." "It was an accident!" "Whatever." "How did YOU guys get to know eachother?" "Well, when we were kids we used to go to school together. As preschoolers we usd to pretend we were Pokemon. Now look what kind of wishing that got us?" They laughed and carried on the conversation for a while, not even noticing the Meowth boy staring back at them. TBC
