Chapter Nineteen: Isabelle the Love Doctor

Did I ever say how much I dislike Larry?

We found him in front of the malasada shop with Chase, who is currently stuffing his face with food.

Nightshade stares at him, "Isn't Chase like, eight? I don't think he should be traveling alone."

I shrug, "He should be fine. He's got that rat with him and that rock dog...don't question it."

I just now realized he had to hop on a ship without any adults to get here.
If that's not safe, I don't know what is.

"Is it safe to come out yet?" A small voice whispers.

Oh, yeah.
We brought Leafeon along.
Why?
I don't know.
She's afraid of everything and won't stop talking about Hau.
She needs to put her faith in me.
Who wouldn't?

"No." I say looking around, "Larry's here."

She blinks and her ears fall to the ground, "Oh..."

So, Chase's rock dog-
No.
Fine, Peaches, notices us and decides to tackle me.
And cover me in her disgusting dog slobber.

When she's done attacking me, she asks us why we're here.

"We're on a mission!" Nightshade proclaims proudly.

"We need to ask Larry something." I say.

Larry walks over to us, his tail held high, "If you want to ask me something you have to pay for it."
He peers behind us, "Who's your friend?"

"That's-"

Larry cuts me off, "I'll just ask her."

Nobody cuts me off.
Not even a stupid, all high and mighty Pikachu.

The closer he gets to Leafeon, the farther she backs away until she hits a wall and can't move.

This was a terrible idea.
What was I thinking?
It was the sleep.

Nightshade jumps in between them and growls softly, "Okay! Mr. Pikachu, could you back off?"

Larry chuckles and looks back at me, "Cute. She thinks I listen to people. That's adorable."

Nightshade frowns then uses Dragon Pulse, knocking Larry off his feet.
Chase runs over to him, "Larry! Are you alright?"

Larry nods and shakes himself off.

"How does Chase know your name?" I ask.

"I told him."

"You can talk to people?"

He flips his hair, "No. I can just say my name."

Like every Pokémon ever.
Before you ask, yes, I know what he meant.

Nightshade nudges me, "This was a bad idea, I don't really like Larry."

Me neither.

Larry's ears twitch, "Fine. You don't want my help. I was going to lead you three to a wondrous place."

Leafeon peeks over Nightshade, "What place?" she whispers in a small voice.

He bats his eyes, "Follow me and you'll find out."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
His special place is Malie Garden.

Chase was so excited to see everyone awake that he suggested they have a picnic.

Again.
Two picnic's back to back.
That's healthy.

Well, while those nerds are having their picnic, Leafeon, Nightshade, Larry, and I are all sitting near a small pond doing nothing.

Well, he's doing something.
Uhh, is being fed grapes by a Pichu doing something?
