PP SYS Ch 7: Perfectly Timed Plan
Lusamine hesitated for a moment longer as she stared back at me with a look of concern on her face before finally nodding her head in agreement. "Very well, but we need to figure this out soon. Cosmog is getting weaker by the day, and I am not sure how much longer it can hold on." With that, she turned around and walked back over to where Mohn was standing before the two of them left the room, leaving me alone with Cosmog.
I let out a sigh of relief as I waited for the door to close behind them before finally turning back towards Cosmog, who was still lying on its side, weak and frail looking. Cryo had been right; they needed me here for something other than just controlling, but I still wasn't sure what I could do as I walked forward.
As I did, the creature finally took notice of me, but her reaction was not one that I expected. Instead of running away, it just stared at me with its big eyes as if trying to figure out who I was. "Hello there," I said as I finally stopped in front of her, and she just continued to stare at me.
I then slowly reached out my hand toward her, and she didn't move away, which I took as a good sign. When my hand finally touched her head, she gave a happy sigh and closed her eyes as if enjoying the feeling of being touched. It was then that something clicked in my mind, and I knew exactly what was wrong with Cosmog.
"You are lonely," I said quietly as realization dawned on me, and Cosmog just nodded her head slightly in response without opening her eyes. "That is why you have been acting so strange lately."
[Very well. I will explain everything, but you need to be ready for when Nurse Joy, Lusamine, and Mohn get back. When they do, you need to stall for time while I work on the final part of our escape plan. We are going to need as much of a head start as possible when we leave.] Cryo said, and I nodded my head in response before finally turning my attention back towards Cosmog with a smile on my face.
"Don't worry," I said as I stroked her soft body gently. "We are going to get out of here."
The Pokémon cuddled into me, and I remembered the first time I met her when I was 5 years old. She was so small and scared back then, just like now, but I had been able to calm her down. Now she was all grown up, and I just hoped that I would be able to help her once again.
[Now, this will sound like it is impossible to pull off, but with the right timing, you will be able to pull this off. This is going to require you also to become violent with some Pokémon, but you are going to have to trust this is the only way, and everyone that you hurt will be fine after you have escaped. There is a good chance that this will not work, but it is our only hope.] Cryo explained, and I just nodded my head in response before turning back towards Cosmog, who was looking up at me expectantly.
"Sounds like things are going to get pretty crazy, but I will keep you and Nurse Joy safe," I said as I stroked her soft body. "I promise."
Then Cyro started to explain everything to me in rapid-fire, and I just nodded my head in response as I took it all in. This was going to be extremely dangerous, but it was our only chance. We just had to hope that everything went according to plan.
