PP SYS Ch 4: Orre and Guyana Regions

I then put on the sandals that she had brought me before sitting back down on the bed and starting to eat one of the sandwiches she had brought me. "This is really good."

"I'm glad you like it," she said as she sat down next to me and started to eat her own sandwich. We ate in silence for a few minutes before Nurse Joy finally broke it. "So, what do you think about everything?"

"I don't really know what to think," I said honestly as I leaned back against the wall and stared at the ceiling. "It is all just so much to take in. I was a kid two days ago in my mind, and now I am an adult."

"I know, but you are handling it better than most people would," she said as she put her hand on my thigh and gave me a reassuring squeeze. "You will get used to it eventually."

"I hope so," I said as I put my hand on top of hers and gave her a weak smile. "I just feel so lost right now."

"It is okay, I will help you through it," she said as she leaned over and kissed me gently on the lips. "You are not alone in this anymore."

As she pulled back, I stared into her blue eyes, but something was back in my head. Something that bothers me about this.

"As much as I like this, I need to know why you like me so much? I mean, I just woke up yesterday, and we did it. I am not complaining, but forgive me if this all seems a little strange to me," I explained hesitantly, not wanting to hurt her feelings.

"I like you because you are different from anyone else I have ever met," she said after a moment of thought. "You have been asleep for so long, and yet you are still so innocent. I can't help but be drawn to that."

There were many different regions to choose from, but I wanted to go somewhere that was not going to have many Pokémon. That left out the Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova and Kalos Regions since they were all crawling with Pokémon.

That left me with the Orre Region. It was a region known for its deserts and its crime rates were through the roof. I doubted that Aether would look for us there since it was not a region that had many Pokémon.

"Nurse Joy, how do you feel about going to the Orre Region?" I asked as we just stared up at the ceiling, and her grip on me tightened slightly. "I think it would be a good place for us to disappear."

"I think that sounds perfect," she said after a long pause, and I could hear the smile in her voice. "It is not somewhere that I have ever been before."

"There are few Pokémon there, but I think that we can go off route for a bit and head east to the Guyana Region. Do you know much about that place?" I asked, trying to think what I had learned in school, and from the world map of our Pokémon World.

"Only that it is a tropical region," she said, and I nodded my head. "It is also one of the few places in our world that has no humans living there."

"Exactly, so Aether would never look for us there," I explained as Nurse Joy shifted on top of me so that she could look me in the eye. "I know it sounds crazy, but we have to get away from here somehow."

"If we are going to do this, then you need to first figure out how you are going to capture Cosmog," she said as her brow furrowed in thought. "Without a Pokémon, you will not be able to find her or even get close enough without being noticed by someone."

"I know," I said with a sigh as I ran my hand through her hair. "But we will think of something."

Nurse Joy smiled at me and then leaned down to kiss me tenderly on the lips, and in that moment, I forgot all about our troubles. We had each other, and that was all that mattered.
