Legendary Wounds

[<[-Nalani-]>]

Shaymin had been out cold for a while after what Mewtwo had done to him by making him blast through a wall of thick ice and falling down the mountain side and luckily landed onto a Hitmonlee's arms, but after that he had blanked out, and what happened to him? He didn't know until began to gain is consciousness though first it was just him mumbling something but the he had a small panic and woke up instantly as he was still in his Origin Form thankfully though he was a little surprised to see himself in a small bed with a curtain around him.

"Geez, where am I? and what in Arceus's name happened when I was out?" He said as he groaned a bit as he softly placed one of his hoof-like feet on top of his bandaged head as he tried to gain his consciousness fully and find out what happened.

[Watarigarasu]

"Hey! Master! He's awake!" Someone yeled in response to Shaymin's question. Standing by the side of the hospital bed was a young Machop wearing a yellow shash, grinning broadly at Shaymin. Sitting on a chair on the other side of the small legendary's bed was the Hitmonlee who had caught him, who looked down at the little grass-type with an expression of relief and benevolence, his expressive eyes communicating his feelings without the need for a mouth.

"That was quite a fall you took!" The young Machop commented. "Say, what kind of pokemon are you?" He asked again, clearly curious about the injured stanger. "Choku, don't badger him with questions yet, let him rest." The Hirmonlee told the young Machop, who reached up and rubbed the back of his head in embarassment. "Forgive my student's curiosity, my name is Mawashi. And this is my student Choku." He told Shaymin in a calm old-sounding voice with a slight indian accent.

"You fell off Mt Blizzard during that storm and master caught you, good thing we brought you back here, the mountain's closed back up again now." Choku told Shaymin, glancing up at a TV screen that showed the area around Mt blizzard, completely blocked off by a massive wall of ice. "Hey master, where did that Weavile girl go off to?" Choku blurted out, suddenly noticing Nalani's abscence.

[<[-Nalani-]>]

Like a question that was instantly answered Nalani had slipped through the door and went up to the bed Shaymin was laying on and sat on one of the chairs that were around him and just looked at Mawashi and Choku obviously they were wondering where she had gone off to and desided to answer before they went to ask that question to her. "Sorry I was gone for a bit you guys, I was talking to one of the nurses and said that this guy here will be just fine and will be able to be out of here today. She told them as she began to lean back on the chair she was on.

"So I just went to pay for the hospital bill for him." She looked over at Shaymin with a grin as he was fully able to see clearly and and gave off a nervous smile, he did honestly owed all of them greatfully for helping him instead of themselves as all he would be now was a frozen Legendary.

He then looked back at the Hitmonlee and the Machop as he tried to sit himself upright despite his leg hurting a little bit, though he looked up at the T.V. and saw the giant wall of ice and was a little bit annoyed and ashamed of Articuno for doing such a thing before lloking back at everyone else again.

[Watarigarasu]

Master Mawashi was also watching the TV screen, mindful of the pokemon he had spotted at the mountain's peak just prior to the event. Nalani's voice snapping him back to reality, he nodded to her in thanks at hearing that she had payed the bill. "How kind of you, thank you miss... please, tell me how much was it? I would feel bad not contributing-" Mawashi began, Choku shaking his head firmly. "Master don't! We barely have enough for food as it is! And even then you never eat it!" The young Machop complained, his Master looking down on him with a fatherly expression. "I'll be alright, I'm really not all that hungry." He assured his apprentice, glancing back up at the TV screen. "Besides, there are far greater concerns at the moment." He told his apprentice, who shook his head violently. "And what if you suddenly collapse from hunger?" Choku complained back.

[<[-Nalani-]>]

Nalani just shook her head when Mawashi asked how much money the bill was and brought her claws up to stop him from asking after she began to hear how they barely had enough money as it was for them and didn't want them to do anything like that to pay her back. "No, you don't need to do nything for me there Mawashi I have enough money on me to pay for a lot of things." She said as she opened up one of her eight pockets on her large and baggy camoflauge pants and pulled out a large bundle of money held together with a large metal clamp.

Shaymin just eyed the money for a moment and began to wonder how could someone around her age obtain so much money and carry it around with her and then give it away to others she didn't know? though he was glad she was a giving person to pay off what could have been a I.O.U. to him. "Thank you there miss, I honestly have no money and you have helped me with that. He told the Weavile girl with a young-sounding voice before looking back at the other two with a smile. "I thank you two as well for getting me out of that mountain before it freezed over, but you all never needed to do such a thing for me." He admitted to them all as he still had that smile painted onto his face, he really did owe all of them dearly.

[Watarigarasu]

Mawashi nodded pleasantly to Shaymin. Now that he seemed to be feeling better it was time to ask him a very important question. "It's good that you're alright, I'm glad." He told the small reindeer-like pokemon. "However now I have a very important question to ask you." He told the legendary sternly. "I saw you fall off the top of the mountain, what was going on up there?" He asked him, looking into the Shaymin's eyes. Looking for an explanation on the great blue bird he had seen.

[<[-Nalani-]>]

Shaymin's antler-like wings drooped down when Mawashi asked that, he didn't really think that anyone would be watching that incident and sighed a little bit as he went to tell them, "Honestly? I can't remember. I think I hit my head pretty hard when I was falling off the mountain and I lost some memory when that happened." That was nothing but a dead straight he said though he made sure he was saying it in an honest matter.

Nalani didn't believe it one little bit, her kind was used to lying like that but she just let that one fly and sighed as she looked at the bundle of money in her paws and back at everyone else and remembered what the Machop and the Hitmonlee were saying about them having barely any food. "Hey, after we get out of this place do ya want to go and get something to eat? My treat." She said as she waved the money around a little bit to show she ws willing to get them something to eat.

[Watarigarasu]

Mawashi looked into the Shaymin's eyes, and appeared to accept what he had said. Although he strongly doubted that the little deer-creature was telling the truth, he understood that he must have some reason for wanting to conceal this truth. And made the descision not to pressure the little guy on the subject.

Hearing Nalani's offer, Mawashi was about to refuse when Choku stepped in front of him, smiling up at the Weavile and nodding. "That would be real nice, thanks miss!" He told her, silencing his master's protests. "What about you?" He asked Shaymin. "What are you going to do?"

[<[-Nalani-]>]

Nalani gave off a grin when Choku agreed to her offer and put her money away in her pocket, but then she looked back at Shaymin again when the Machop asked him the question on what he was going to do after he got out of the hospital. Shaymin just sighed again with his wings down at his side and shrugged.

"Honestly? I have nothing to do really. just wander around the island and not do anything." Nalani's ear feathers just twitched a little bit when she heard what he had to say and decided to ask him another question. "Well uhh, do you have any friends or anything? Cause maybe you can have a party or something."

She said in an attempt to lift this deer creature's hopes up. But still his wings laid low as he closed his eyes and shook his head from side to side. "I have no friends, heck I don't even have a home as I just sleep in flower patches in central park..." He told them all as he brought his mouth to the side, he never really did bother getting any of those things for himself as he was so busy finding the Meterorite.

[Watarigarasu]

Feeling sorry for the small deer creature, Mawashi's sorrow melded with his sense of suspicion about why the small creature had to lie, wondering if perhaps the small creature knew a lot more thn any of them had previously guessed. "You have nowhere to go? Then why don't you come with us? If that's alright with you miss." He added, not wanting to impose that Nalani pay to feed the Shaymin as well.

"This news just in!" Came the voice of a TV presenter, snapping Mawashi out of his period of contemplation and making both he and Choku look up at the monitor. "The storm reported around the vicinity of Mt Blizzard shows no sign of letting up, and all pokemon rescue teams who have attempted to breach the icy barrier have been unsucessful." The Psyduck presenter reported, showing an image of the Mt Blizzard mountain range, blocked off by an icy wall several thousand miles wide.

Mawashi stared up at the disturbing report with a feeling of uneasiness. Secretly he was planning on going back there later at night, he had to clarify what he had seen.

[<[-Nalani-]>]

Nalani just shook her head up and down to Choku's reply and looked back at Shaymin again. "Sure, I have more than enough money to get food for all of us, and if none of you have a home I can see with my brother if you can stay at our place for a little bit." She said as she fiddled with her claws for a little bit, she couldn't promise that she could temporarily give any of them a place to rest.

Shaymin just gave them all a nodd as he felt greatful for these Pokemon's hospitality, even if they didn't know that he was a Legenday, that made him feel even more better. "Thank's you guys, I guess I could have some company for just a little bit." He told them all before he looked up at the T.V. again to hear the weather in MT. Blizzard looked like it wasn't going to let up at all, he was so diappointed with Articuno at this time as he was being so selfish at this point and hoped that Arceus may help the Bird of Ice out.

[Watarigarasu]

"Great! Then it's settled!" Choku grinned gleefully, clapping his hands together. Sighing a little, Mawashi decided to play along wth his apprentice. After all, he was young, and he stuck to his training. He deserved to experience a little fun once in a while, even if Mawashi himself prefered a life devoid of most luxuries. "Alright then. I guess I can't refuse. Where are we going?" He asked, Choku snapping his fingers suddenly. "Oooh! Well, umm... oh, there's so many places! You have any suggestions?" He asked Shaymin, staring at him in confusion. "Come to think of it, what's your name?" He asked.

[<[-Nalani-]>]

Nalani just listened to what the Machop had to say and began to think of some places where she liked to eat herself, of course the city was a pretty big with a variety of things that it was a little hard to think. But when she thought of a place she just blurred it out for everyone to hear her answer, "How about the Camerupt Cafe? It's nice and not too far away from here."

Shaymin had began to stand up on all fours and look at the others as he was feeling a lot better now and again nodded his head when Nalani blurred her answer out. "That sounds very nice miss, we'll head over there then." He replied back to her as he was about to jump off of the bed, though he heard Choku ask for his name. He just made a grin on his face as looked over at Machop to tell him in his face. "Name's Charley there, sorry I didn't tell ya." He said before jumping down and safelt landing on the tiles on the hospital floor as he waited for the others to come along.

[Watarigarasu]

"Alright, Charley!" Choku laughed, fidgeting around excitedly. "Camerupt Cafe? Wow! I've never eaten at a cafe before... not exactly..." He told nalani, his voice growing nervous as he suddenley remembered how he used to steal from places like that. paranoid that somehow they would know.

"That sounds wonderful, thank you again for being so hospitable, to all of us." Mawashi thanked nalani, placing a hand to his heart and bowing his head to her.
